My God’s better than your God…

“There are millions of people around this world praying to their god—whether it’s Hindu, Buddha, Allah—that his opponent [Obama] wins, for a variety of reasons. And Lord, I pray that you will guard your own reputation, because they’re going to think that their God is bigger than you, if that happens,”
- Arnold Conrad, the former pastor of Grace Evangelical Free Church in Davenport.

I believe to go on about religion and being muslim vs being a Christian is what is the problem, all religions are equal that being said, Obama does not scare most Americans because the current president made the muslims a bad word and bad people, but there are radical people everywhere probably most muslims are peaceful people.

The nation of Islim muslims for the most part are not radical, and people should not listen to the ones that are behind in the race because they will say anything to win.

Obama has more going for him than John McCain, at least he does not refer to John as “that one”.

This is a really cynical depiction of working-class America.

State-worship and anti-politics are very clever propaganda campaigns; you really can’t blame people for falling for them. Especially people who are righteously angry because their employment is insecure, their wages are low, and all their costs of living are increasing.

We know that their anger would be more productively aimed at the people and institutions who put/keep them in poor conditions; so our job is to try to get them to realize that. Not to make fun of them.

Pat Bagley is brilliant. Be sure to get his book, ‘Clueless George Goes to War!’. Brilliant. Available from White Horse Books. Sorry for the plug but Mr. Bagley is deserving. I have a “signed” copy. Brilliant.
Dead on Mr. B. Oh and, brilliant!

There is bias on all sides. You know them and can name them…. some make valid points and some are complete bullshit.. It is up to us to tell the difference… as it always will be and should be.

Sen. John “McWorse” McCain and Gov. Sarah “You Betcha” Palin are mean spirited and nasty campaigners and their underhanded approach will continue up to election day because they know they are losing. McCain and Palin live in a state of denial, they are rabble rousers and feed their know-nothing rabid mob vituperative political-drivel in an attempt to demonize economic reality and Barack Obama, in order to steal the presidency. The Republicans have large corporations, the rich and corporate media in their well paid corner. I hope Americans can see past the lies and deceit, realize what is best for them and vote Democratic. Vote for Barack Obama for president.
