Any state that still flies the Confederate flag and has a respected member use the term “uppity”, after being reminded of it’s usually partnering word, is a dangerous place for a serious black candidate. Those cretons deserve what they get. I’m sure this last Rep Admin has done wonders for them.

Obama would never take Georgia…even with the “folks” that call Atlanta “the ATL” if you follow me.
Living in town it blows me away to see the number of Obama stickers…but then again they are usually on a truck with that has two large women with mullets in it or on a scooter with a little dude with a manicure.

Instead of naming the Obama campaign’s efforts as ‘dropping chips all over the table’ - isn’t it really a sustained, extensive, grass roots effort to get out the vote in key battleground states??

I’m glad Obama is forgetting GA, we don’t want him here. On the flip side, though, i don’t want Sonny here either!

Funny, I’ve seen a few Obama stickers, mostly on cars of African Americans. I know 1 white person who is voting for him, and he also thinks 9/11 was a conspiracy, we never put people on the moon, and the world could be flat.

If this is the intelligence level of people voting for Obama, we’re going to have huge problems if he wins!

In my opinon, the presidency is not an “on the job training” position. I don’t believe there is an add that says:

“Wanted:President of the United States of America, no experience required”

That’s the Obama experience. I will agree that Palin does not have the XP to be VP either, but i’d rather an inexperienced vice president than an inexperienced president!

I can guarantee this election will bring out more voters than any other, though. However, the intelligence levels of the voters is what i worry about. Take Clayton for example…they did no research whatsoever to elect their board, i hope when it comes time to vote for this election some research has been done!

The choice is so clear!

I am sure Obama team realize even if he whistle Dixie and stand on his head, there are some who just won’t vote for him in GA. He’s done what he had to do and time is of the essence… so why spend time in neverland. He is brilliant. This is not a symbol race to him, it is the real deal and he know he will either win or lose. I think he’s thinking like a winner. That is why he is not putting all of his eggs in on basket. BALANCE is the best stategy known to mankind. Swing voters are even in GA. They just watch and vote for the one who earned their vote and not the one who take their vote for already “locked up”.

Hardly your ultra-lame reference to lesbians and scooters. I’ve lived all over the country and spent 3 years overseas. What’s your life, educational, and travel experience? How do you stay informed?

With the exception of the 9/11 attacks, Bush will go down in history for a terrible economy, however, he will also be a president who defended his country! Since 9/11, there has not been an attack against America! The economy wouldn’t matter if we had no country. Priority 1-defend your country, and Bush has done that where Clinton failed, and where Obama will definately fail.

Outlanders are flocking to the state capital for work as the Bush economy has devastated the country. Theirs are the only cars with “W” stickers intact. Racist, fascist crackers haven’t yet gotten the news: the “W” confirms the stupidity of any bearing it.

Atlanta and its suburbs, in sync with the greatness which draws culture and industry yet, will put Obama and Martin over the top in November. Georgia, the living repository of the blood and strength that built America, has great and good people from Hiawassee and Dalton, to Bainbridge, Valdosta, Brunswick and Augusta. They, too, will do their part to destroy the racist sectarian faction now serving “the few” of fascist plutocracy - by refusing a Bush3 presidency and kicking Chambliss out of Congress.

May G-d bless Georgia and America once more. Amen.

All of these polls talk about “swing voters” with the emphasis on “swing” - voters that haven’t decided on a candidate yet. But from what I’ve found, the emphasis should be on “voters” - at the end of the day, people are going to like who they’re going to like, but will they like them enough to go out and vote for them.

Personally, I have a number of friends who claimed to be on the fence, but given time, they’ve found negatives to associate with Obama and positives to associate with McCain - justifying the way they were going to vote anyway. That is, IF they actually bothered to vote.

As a white, suburban Obama supporter, I have seen how the Palin pick has motivated McCain supporters and will likely lead to more actual votes. But I believe this only makes the race more compelling, because when you consider that every Obama supporter is extremely energized and very likely to vote, it gives him quite an advantage.

The following Georgia scenarios equal about the same number votes for each candidate:

Blacks make up 30% of registered voters, 75% vote and 90% of those support Obama.

Whites make up 65% of registerd voters, 45% vote and 75% of those support McCain.

In other words, Georgia is very much in play for Obama.

“Tray” - Do you believe a rotten tree can bear good fruit? Read Professor Griffin’s book, “The New Pearl Harbor”: Bush and Cheney DID 9/11. Did you think a draft-dodging closet-queen whose father killed John Kennedy could have turned out well? Read, learn and seek wisdom. America didn’t happen by chance, effected by fools. Read The Founders’ writing and understand History. Learn how the Fed and the IRS were created together and consider how our financial system now teeters on the abyss.

Haggard, Guckert/Gannon, Bush, Larry Craig, Mark Foley, Anti-Christ. Bush is a meglomaniacal psychopath. Do you think someone who tortured cats and frogs could have become something else without years of therapy?

Think as a man and become one. No man sees Bush as anything but what he is…a lying, draft-dodging, homosexual traitor born of a line of traitors serving the known and knowable Anti-Christ.

Then there is old John, standing at her side, doing the American john wayne green beret thing right out of Vietnam; he survived but 50,000 of our troops did not in that futile and embarrassing war.

Why does Obama hate the book?? Because IT IS ALL TRUE!! He can’t sue or anything because it’s all facts. So read that, then come back and give me a reason why you would want to vote for him!

If you also think Bush caused 9/11, you need to leave this great country and find another one to bad mouth while you live in it, because buddy, there is no place better than the USA, and Obama doesn’t want to lead the USA, he thinks he’s Godly enough to lead the world!

Let’s not spin everything as a sign of Obama’s desperation. A strategic re-deployment of staff & resources is a valid tactic to take at this time. However, I am mystified that Republicans fail to see McCain’s behavior as anything but dangerous, impulsive pandering to a base that had been reluctant to support him before is amazing and frightening to me. The man who 2 weeks ago said experience is key chooses a poorly-vetted governor of a state with a population near that of Cobb County! A governor who claims to have talked tough to big oil and turned away federal dolllars for a bridge but who ACTUALLY supported the bridge to nowhere initially, and took the money associated with it even as she claimed to reject federal earmarks. As for oil companies, a little windfall tax isn’t talking tough—-she still does their bidding by dismissing alternative energy and promoting drilling in ANWR…and denying that humans have contributed to global warming, and talking about the war in IRAQ being God’s work.

McCain’s maverick positions are completely absent from the Republican platform (except for drilling in ANWR but then his chosen VP would gladly operate the drills herself!) No, McCain cannot claim to be maverick by his naming Pallin. He can only claim to have abandoned his integrity in hope of becoming President. If that happens, we will have elected an impulsive, saber-rattling, hot-tempered man who shows no remorse in selling out. How will that help the US at home or abroad? I fear that a McCain Administration will energize the base of the TALIBAN and bin Laden even more than it seems to be energizing our Republican neighbors.

If the citizens vote in McCain, we may get the government we deserve because too many Americans have ceased to remember what the Constitution and the Founding Fathers really stood for. I believe if people stopped to think, they might realize that this secretive, lobbist-driven administration has done little to improve the real lives of the American people. Jobs are being shipped off-shore faster than we can count them. Even Haliburton moved it’s headquarters to the Middle East. It seems to me the chief jobs program these current Republican leaders seem to be promoting is the military. I only wish they showed enthusiasm for properly supporting these same soldiers when they return home shell-shocked and wounded. Have they no shame?

Can any Obama supporters explain to me how he gets a free pass on his many, many (well-documented) ties to radical Muslim extremists? It seems to me that if McCain (or anyone else for that matter) that had the same level of involvement with, say, the KKK or the Aryan Brotherhood, they would be publicly castigated for it.

As a person in the middle, I just don’t see any difference between Farrakhan or al Mansour or Odinga and David Duke. They’re all radical extremists, just on opposite ends of the spectrum.

When McCain selected Palin as a running mate I, as an American woman, felt that my intelligence had been insulted.

Do John McCain or conservative republicans respect the moral foundations of our country? The U.S. Constitution is abused by conservative republicans at every turn.

U.S. Constitution: Amendment I - Freedom of Religion Because of conservative republicans, your tax dollars are funding religious groups you may not agree with. To add insult to injury, conservative appointed judges have ruled that you do not have a right to challenge this expenditure.

Amendment IV - Search and seizure Under the guise of court action against abortion, Conservative republicans had John Ashcroft subpoena all the medical records of literally thousands of women like you and members of your family. Conservative republicans invade your privacy every day by browsing your email and phone records. Unfortunately for all of us, they don’t appear to care about our U.S. constitution, and they certainly don’t care about your privacy.

Amendment X - Powers of the States and People John McCain and conservative republicans have tried consistently to overturn States Laws. They used your hard earned tax dollars to destroy the will of the people of Oregon, and the famous “Death with Dignity” law; they lost, but undoubtedly will try again. Conservative republicans and John McCain do not respect States Rights. If your state votes for something conservatives don’t agree with they will use federal powers to overturn it regardless of how you and your fellow voters feel.

Amendment VIII - Cruel and Unusual punishment Would you rather die, or support a government which supported and sanctioned torture? The founding fathers would rather have died. The founding fathers were proud to fight and die for our government: A government which specifically outlaws cruel and unusual punishment. Conservatives don’t agree with this philosophy. Conservatives are at odds with our founding fathers on this score, and too many others to count.

John McCain and the conservative republicans have already gone too far in destroying the moral foundations of our country. I urge you to keep this in mind in the coming election as we rebuild our nation together by voting Democrat.

There is a difference between bridging a divide, and helping a nation regain it’s power and influence. Giving money away and increasing debt will not do this-the Obama plan.

Obama does not want to ‘bridge the divide’, he wants to give other’s money to the needy. Do you really think he’s going to tax the rich?? (HIMSELF)??

The middle class and lower-if you have a retirement fund, chances are (90%) it’s vested in oil, something Barack hates. He raises the taxes on oil, that money goes elsewhere, out of your hard-earned retirement.

For those who couldn’t apply themselves hard enough to earn retirement, i guess you dont care since you’re not getting it-and that’s the problem. The middle and lower class who stopped caring about working hard for what they earned started caring more about what they could get for free.

Obama preaches American Values?? I don’t recall the value of sitting on your butt and collecting unemployment because you were to proud to wait tables, work at McD’s, or clean toilets to support your family!

People, almost everyone starts at the bottom and has to work their way to the top. If you don’t beleive that, then vote for Obama, he will make your life better-at the sacrifice of the Nation and all it represents! Then when you wake up one day with a bankrupt country who’s taxes are higher than any other, and you still make minimum wage and there is absolutely no way out, you can thank him for ruining this great nation, and thank yourself too!

It’s not in the preamble…maybe by the way you look at/interpret it, but I am not ‘required’ to promote the general welfare-which i actually do through donations to Shriners and Goodwill, people that i know use money for a good cause. Also, the Preamble is not an amendment…but you knew that, right?

McCain may be viewed as another Bush, but if so, than it’s safe for me to ‘view’ Obama as a dangerous agenda Muslim-but both sides are stereotyping, so before you say it’s ok to do that, I’d review your thought process.

Can anyone list me accomplishments of Obama’s that was for the general welfare and not involved with making him stand out more (or his wife and her tripled salary after he earmarked funds for her hospital)?

Everything considered close to major legislation he passed was drawn up by other democrats and then passed through as his. Everything he’s don in his career is to promote himself, or his close buddies. Nothing he has done has ever been for Americans because he cared.

Tray - When the rats take over your house, move out. As an American of the blood which created America I choose to keep my home and by Annuit Coeptis and the rest of the American Creed, fight to the death the traitors of the Nazi-financing, JFK-killing, 9/11-committing fascist Fifth Column which has been taught by their pedophile priests that they own the entire world - including the United States of America - whose Constitution I have sworn under the Oath to support and defend.

Thomas Jefferson built this Nation and identified the forces from which we escaped, caesaropapism’s ancien regime of king and pope, as “the real Anti-Christ.” Have you any idea why Our Creed includes the motto Novus Ordo Seclorem?

This is the New Secular Order. We supplanted that Old Sectarian Order, with its mystery priesthood and its agents like Hitler, Bush and Palin who, though obviously lying hypocrites and perverts, talk to us of God’s telling them what to do…killing innocents, stealing money, and committing false war, and we should go along with it?

I, and all true Americans, think not.

You who support the transparently obvious fascist plutocracy destroying Our Republic for Mammon and, opposing E Pluribus Unum, racism are Tories…the sworn enemy of the Whigs who built America.

The Tory Oak awaits those who continue to support fascism and the Anti-Christ in America. Bush and Cheney first for committing 9/11 to send us to false war for oil, heroin, the Saudis, and a corrupt faction of false Jews in the State of Israel…then all those who yet survive and profit from the assassinations of JFK and MLK.

Obama is but a small step in the right direction. With no talk of the truth of Bush’s and Cheney’s proven 9/11 treason, he is but a tool of “moderation” protecting the Rockefeller Fifth Column…permitting them to “tread water” as under Jimmy Carter. Were he a genuine threat to their false-elite, as were Kennedy and King, he’d have been dealt with the same way.

Annuit Coeptis, Obama’s singing the Song of America will relight the fire which has been sputtering in the hearts of the People since the Nazis and Rome were permitted to get away with WWII and committing the Holocaust, and JFK was murdered to send us to die for Rome in Vietnam.

The Fifth Column cancer usurping America must be extirpated. It is no coincidence that Palin’s and Hitler’s perspectives on the female womb and reproduction are the same, that McCain is married to the Mafia, nor that Bush is a closet-queen whose father killed John Kennedy.

There is but One G-d, “the King of America,” as named by Thomas Paine. Those who claim to know G-d, the Creator cited in the Constitution and Declaration, yet are proven hypocrites, serve evil, are liars and traitors, and are accursed.

Did John McCain trigger the conflagration killing 143 on the Forrestal? He was most definitely the source of the flare which “cooked-off” the Zuni rocket directly behind him, and the bombs dropped on the deck were his doing. Was he an incompetent shot down through his admitted stupidity, schooled by Roman Catholics on Capitol Hill, who bragged of his family’s many generations soldiering for Roman Catholic monarchs? Yes…read his autobiography.

Our choice is clear. The American “house” must be saved from the rats now eating out our substance and enslaving us. Expropriation and death for treason. Expropriation and deportation for Misprision of Treason. They should not be permitted to profit from our blood: 3,000 on 9/11 and 4,200 in Iraq and Afghanistan for oil and heroin. The blood of American soldiers and Marines is too precious. Justice and Our Posterity require, rather, the blood of traitors and tyrants to fertilize America’s Tree of Liberty once more.

There is but one single G-d. The Founders recognized this fact and placed in America’s Creed the motto Annuit Coeptis”, and cited “the Creator” and “Nature’s God” in the founding documents. Read Jefferson’s letter to Major Cartwright debunking false claims of the *de facto fascists of the “right-wing.” America is E Pluribus Unum into which “all nations of the world” shall flow.

But remember there is only one G-d.

Hitler’s greatest tool was his ardent Roman Catholic “faith.” Read “Mein Kampf” if you doubt it.

Americanism is my faith. Just as the Founders could know the One and Only G-d through their Whig Creed inscribed on the Great Seal, so can those who claim to be American today. No sectarian factionalism shall be allowed. All faiths are permitted. Treason is punishable by death. The People, by the Creed, and the Constitution, now subverted by the Roman Catholics on the Supreme Court, rule in this land.

False religionists are tolerated while reason is yet permitted to demonstrate their lies.

Stick to your false religion, I choose America.

The change that McCain wants is to bash the intellectuals and any one that has European ideas[ap].Maybe you look different “foreign” I believe is the code word,your not a hockey mom ,soccer mom, NASCAR dad, you live in a city and your educated, you have a world view and think it takes a village to help raise your family,-ie schools, extended family, neighbors, friends, then your some how bad or on the fringe maybe even evil, dose that not give you that warm fuzzy feeling? Well be afraid very afraid.The right wing “Conservative” brings something else to mind,Germany a wounded war veteran who wrote a book and was a God fearing right winger who found his country receptive because of their plight after a bitter war and bad economic times. The intellectuals, the educated, foreigners,ones that were liberal,and folks that didn’t “share their values” NOT LIKE US. The Jews fit the bill, different religion, businessmen, intellectuals, liberal, not like us- them. This right wing conservative group with it’s leader invoked Gods name and went on a crusade to right many perceived wrongs and to settle old scores. The church blessed them and their weapons and they went out in Gods name to make the world in their image and well you know the rest.Fiction? Not hardly religion has no place in politics.there is a reason for separation of church and state It seems that to be a Christian now we have to wrap our selves in the flag and if you don’t you’re bad,or unpatriotic, un American. But if You are a true Christian the Christ said give Caesars things to Caesar, and that His Kingdom was no part of this world he was not involved in politics. You don’t have to be a Christian to be a patriot or pick up a gun or join the military to be a patriot , just like wrapping your self in the flag and the bible makes a bad person good or a patriot because it doesn’t. That man in Germany was wrapped in his flag and the bible and was blessed by the church was he a good man? I guess not but his followers thought so they were convinced by the dogma of the crusade and that evil was across the street, next door, the next country, folks not like them, and if those evil doers were dehumanized they were-are easy to kill. I guess the Christian right forgot the 10 commandments, pick it up its a good read

Bottom line everyone, both candidates are gonna screw up in some fashion no matter who wins. I personally believe that McCain’s screw ups are not worth the risk. He is George W all over again, and his pretty little eye candy of a VP isn’t going to change that fact.

McCain chose someone to make him more popular. Obama chose someone to fill in the blanks where he had shortcomings - because as we know, both candidates do. Any smart leader will tell you that you don’t have to be great at everything to be great, you just have to surround yourself with people who are great in the areas that you lack; thus making your team magnificent. Biden brings with him the foreign policy experience that barack doesn’t have. What does Palin bring?

I feel that Obama is trying to not only convince us that he is the best choice but that he actually is trying to BE the best choice. He does believe in us as America(ns). The Republican campaign just decided to hop on the CHANGE bandwagon lately. They didn’t care about change…they cared about winning. Barack proved his heart for change years ago when he chose to become a community organizer in the inner city instead of going for the big bucks, which he could have easily done with his Ivy league degree.

People argue that this isn’t a popularity contest, but we all know on some level it is. Nobody votes for the person they DON’T like - duh! But Palin’s presence is a sure sign of McCain’s feeding into that flaw in our election process.

Joe Biden is the qualified man who wasn’t that well known but brings the experience necessary to round out the Obama-Biden ticket. Palin is the not-so-qualified woman whose sole purpose in this campaign is to distract female voters, gain popularity points and play the “let’s make history” card.

You decide which candiate is trying to do this for YOU and who is just trying to dupe you into another 8 years of fattening their pockets and fueling their investments while YOU go broke and lose your homes and jobs.

Also consider the fact that McCain is really really…really OLD, and before it’s over this inexperienced “hocky mom” could be the President of the United States. Give me a fresh faced, devoted Community Organizer turned senator over that anyday!

OBAMA = BETRAYAL Obama supporters are foolish to think that he will never betray them. Obama was a close friend of Pastor Wright for TWENTY YEARS. Obama threw Wright under the bus for personal ambition. McCain would not betray his country even after 5 years of torture. You can put lipstick on a traitor, but he’s still a traitor.
