**whatever** · 07-07-2008, 05:38 PM

even more reason i can't stand barack HUSSIEN obama.
got this email and thought i would share for anyone interested, Here it is in its entirety *and yes that name and phone came with the email:

Anyone who plans to vote for OBAMA, should be "open minded" enough to read some FACTS!!

"Qui non intelligit aut discat aut taceat", Who does not understand should either learn, or be silent.

OBAMA's NOT EXACTLYS:
1.) "Selma Got Me Born" - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
You were born in 1961 - Selma occurred in 1965. Selma had no effect whatsoever on your birth.(Google 'Obama Selma' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)

2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
Turns out he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
He was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.

4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
Your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish MUSLIM Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Obama, is Odinga's follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone. Check out the following link for verification of that, and for more.
Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia MUSLIM law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants you to know the truth.

5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
She does her daily Salat prayers at 5 AM according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to one man.

6.) My Name is African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
Your name is ARABIC and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in ARABIC. Hussein is also ARABIC, as is Obama.
Barack Hussein Obama is Half-White but he is not Half-Black. If elected, he would be the first ARAB-AMERICAN President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% ARABIC and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya, his father's family was mainly ARABS. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% ARAB (his father's birth certificate even states he's ARAB, not African Negro). From....and for more....go to.....

7.) I Never Practiced Islam - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
You practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a MUSLIM and kept that faith for 31 years, UNTIL your wife made you change, so you could run for political office.
4-3-08 Article "Obama was 'quite religious in Islam'" http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=60559

8) My School In Indonesia Was Christian - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
You were registered as a MUSLIM there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book).
February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the ARABIC call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset." This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says "Obama's narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts."

9.) I Was fluent In Indonesian - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
Not one of your teachers said you could speak the language.

10.) Because I lived In Indonesia, I Have More Foreign Experience - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
You were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn't even speak the language. What did you learn, how to study the Koran and watch cartoons?

11.) I Am Stronger On Foreign Affairs - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
Except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise), you have never been anywhere else on the planet and thus have NO experience with our closest allies.

12.) I Blame My Early Drug Use On Ethnic Confusion - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
You were quite content in high school to be Barry Obama. No mention of Kenya and no mention of any struggle to identify; your classmates said you were just fine.

13.) An Ebony Article Moved Me To Run For Office - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
Ebony has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It does not now, nor did it ever, exist.

14.) A Life Magazine Article Changed My Outlook On Life - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
Life has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It does not now, nor did it ever, exist.

15.) I Won't Run On A National Ticket In '08 - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
Here you are, despite saying, live on TV, that you would not have enough experience by then, and you are all about having experience first.

16.) Voting "Present" is Common In Illinois Senate - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
They are common for YOU, but not many others have 130 NO VOTES.

17.) Oops, I misvoted - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
Only when you were caught by church groups and Democrats, did you beg to change your misvote.

18.) I Was A Professor Of Law - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
You were not even an Assistant Professor. You were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.

19.) I Was A Constitutional Lawyer - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
You were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.

20.) Without Me, There Would Be No Ethics Bill - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
You didn't write it, you didn't introduce it, you didn't change it, you didn't create it.

21.) The Ethics Bill Was Hard To Pass - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
It took just 14 days from start to finish.

22.) I Wrote A Tough Nuclear Bill - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
Your bill was rejected by your own party for its pandering and lack of all regulation - mainly because of your Nuclear donor, Exelon, from which David Axelrod came.

23.) I Have Released My State Records - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
As of March, 2008, state bills you sponsored or voted for have yet to be released, exposing all the special interests pork hidden within.

24.) I Took On The Asbestos Altgeld Gardens Mess - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
You were part of a large group of people who remedied Altgeld Gardens. You failed to mention anyone else but yourself, in your books.

25.) My Economics Bill Will Help America - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
Your 111 economic policies were just combined into a proposal which lost 99-0, and even YOU voted against your own bill.

26.) I Have Been A Bold Leader In Illinois - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
Even your own supporters claim to have not seen BOLD action on your part.

27.) I Passed 26 Of My Own Bills In One Year - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
They were not YOUR bills, but rather handed to you, after their creation by a fellow Senator, to assist you in a future bid for higher office.

28.) No One on my campaign contacted Canada about NAFTA - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
The Candian Government issued the names and a memo of the conversation your campaign had with them.

29.) I Am Tough On Terrorism - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
You missed the Iran Resolution vote on terrorism and your good friend Ali Abunimah supports the destruction of Israel.

30.) I Want All Votes To Count - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
You said let the delegates decide.

31.) I Want Americans To Decide - NOT EXACTLY BARACK:
You prefer caucuses that limit the vote, confuse the voters, force a public vote, and only operate during small windows of time.

You passed 26 bills, most of which you didn't write yourself.

You used tactics to eliminate Alice Palmer from running against you.

34.) I Don't Take PAC Money - NOT EXACTLY BARACK: YOU take loads of it.

No; apparently, that 'lady' likes to spread lies as facts.

republicans will stop at no ends to bring down democrats.
This I have learned.

It is kinda funny though

**Bahet** · 07-07-2008, 09:30 PM

Is he even the official candidate yet? I know McCain is still being called the "presumptive" candidate. I can only imagine the stuff that will be going around by mid October. Let's see if I can come up with some. Go ahead and put these in an email. Let's see how many idiots forward it without bothering or caring to check for facts.

1. Obama's real last name is Osama but he changed it when he decided to go into politics. He also paid off a hospital worker to change it on his birth certificate. This is TRUE. My cousin worked for a doctor who interned at a hospital with a janitor who worked in the hospital where he was born.

2. If elected Obama plans to give New Mexico and Arizona back to Mexico and make Spanish an official language. This is TRUE. He said it right here: "I will... give Mexico... Arizona and... new...Mexico."

3. He will require all students to learn to speak Spanish and Arabic. This is TRUE I got an email from my aunt who knows a guy who bought lunch from a guy who sold a hotdog to a guy whose son had to learn to speak Spanish and Arabic or he wouldn't get his diploma even though he was class valedictorian with a 50.87 gpa.

4. He plans to force schools to teach the Quran but will ban the Bible. This is TRUE. My cousin's friend's brother's nephew's son is in a school in Chicago and they are already doing this!

5. Obama murdered Dick Cheney. This is TRUE. Cheney hasn't been seen in public since Obama's nomination. Coincidence? I think not!

That should give you a head start. Ready, set, FORWARD!

I am new. Hope this is ok to post.

John McCain is a maverick senator, Vietnam veteran and former prisoner of war for 5 years in North Vietnam. In 2000, he nearly beat George W. Bush by being an outspoken, even honest politician, which stunned everybody. He also is known for crafting bipartisan approaches to issues such as smoking and campaign reform.

This time around though, at 71, he apparently decided "now or never" and seems to have sold his soul, suddenly adopting a bunch of boilerplate conservative positions he was brave enough to resist 8 years ago. Now, conveniently, he's even claiming to be a Baptist instead of an Episcopalian.

It didn't look like anyone was buying it for a while there, but danged if he hasn't come back and pretty much sewed up the Republican nomination. McCain went from front runner to 3rd or 4th in various polls, spent all of his huge pile of cash and lost most of his staff, and worked his way back into a dominant position.

Here are some negative allegations:

Affairs -- Religion Shopping -- A Junkie Wife -- Keating 5 -- Mafia Ties -- Quotes -- Sources
-- << Return To Skeleton Closet Main Page

That New Time Religion
John McCain grew up Episcopalian. He went to an Episcopalian high school. For at least 15 years, he has been listed as an Episcopalian in authoritative directories such as the Almanac of American Politics and Congressional Quarterly's Politics in America 2008. He told a reporter from McClatchy News Service in June 2007 that he was an Episcopalian.
Suddenly, in September 2007, he's campaigning in South Carolina, the heavily Baptist state where George W. Bush barely managed to stop McCain's presidential campaign 8 years ago. And guess what? McCain tells a reporter "By the way, I'm not Episcopalian. I'm Baptist."

When pressed, he said he's attended the North Phoenix Baptist Church in Arizona for more than 15 years, though he has never been baptized in that church. Now see, that's exactly the problem. Baptism is kind of a big thing in the Baptist Church. (That's how they got the name.) No baptism, not Baptist.

Anyway, details aside, this is one very clear indication of how McCain has changed. Now, he's just another hungry politician, happy to pander if it helps him win. Which eliminates the very reason people were excited about him in 2000 -- his honesty.

Founding Member of the Keating Five
Back in the old days, defendants in famous trials got numbers -- the Chicago Eight, the Gang of Four, the Dave Clark Five, the Daytona 500. McCain was one of the "Keating Five," congressmen investigated on ethics charges for strenuously helping convicted racketeer Charles Keating after he gave them large campaign contributions and vacation trips.
Charles Keating was convicted of racketeering and fraud in both state and federal court after his Lincoln Savings & Loan collapsed, costing the taxpayers $3.4 billion. His convictions were overturned on technicalities; for example, the federal conviction was overturned because jurors had heard about his state conviction, and his state charges because Judge Lance Ito (yes, that judge) screwed up jury instructions. Neither court cleared him, and he faces new trials in both courts.)

Though he was not convicted of anything, McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating after Keating gave McCain at least $112,00 in contributions. In the mid-1980s, McCain made at least 9 trips on Keating's airplanes, and 3 of those were to Keating's luxurious retreat in the Bahamas. McCain's wife and father-in-law also were the largest investors (at $350,000) in a Keating shopping center; the Phoenix New Times called it a "sweetheart deal."

Mafia ties:
In 1995, McCain sent birthday regards, and regrets for not attending, to Joseph "Joe Bananas" Bonano, the head of the New York Bonano crime family, who had retired to Arizona. Another politician to send regrets was Governor Fife Symington, who has since been kicked out of office and convicted of 7 felonies relating to fraud and extortion.

Family Problems
McCain has a reputation as a politician who has difficulty keeping his pants zipped, according to Republican sources. He acknowledges that his adultery broke up his first marriage. His second wife Cindy, the daughter of a wealthy Budweiser beer distributor, was addicted to prescription narcotics and even stole hard drugs from a medical charity that she ran. McCain acknowledges that she didn't want him to run, and only agreed once he promised that she doesn't have to go to New Hampshire or Iowa.
