Don't attack SP4. The creepy stalker of SP's stalker, Smiley D, pudknocker, headcase, the guy who can't get anything right, will, in his confused state, think you are SP's stalker and attack you. After all, SP4 is just a baby who needs a big brother protecting him from the big, bad world.

Great job gentlemen, adding to our cause is the American way. '

Nothing 'American' about what Obama is advocating. There is nothing 'American' about Giving our sovereignty away to international organizations that hate our guts and want to see us humbled. There is nothing 'American' about deliberately losing a war. There is nothing 'American' about creating a nanny state to get people dependent on government so you can exert control over them. There is nothing 'American' about surrounding yourself with scumbags that hate this country with a passion. There is nothing 'American' about your cause at all.

After people figure that out it will be another generation before anything as stupid as this will be allowed to happen.

Boo-hoo-hoo. Biggest crybaby I have heard in a long time.

'Nothing 'American' about what Obama is advocating.'

Only your opinion and it means nothing!

'There is nothing 'American' about Giving our sovereignty away to international organizations that hate our guts and want to see us humbled.'

He has proposed nothing like this, you have just construed it this way to make yourself feel better for betting on the wrong horse. That and you have to lie, it must be like a drug to you as you need to lie all the time.

'There is nothing 'American' about deliberately losing a war.'

There is nothing 'American' about starting wars with innocent countries, then sending in a force unprepared and under supplied to be slaughtered until it is so abundently clear that you are loosing you finally do the correct thing and support your troops. The only 'American' thing left to do is to get out---now!

There is nothing 'American' about creating a nanny state to get people dependent on government so you can exert control over them.

More lies from the neo-con right-wing nutjob of the site. This is your opinion and and not worth a dime. You must have been a crazy red-baiter? All afraid of those big bad communists?

'There is nothing 'American' about surrounding yourself with scumbags that hate this country with a passion.'

Scumbags like those that surround McLame?

'There is nothing 'American' about your cause at all.'

The same back at you fool, your cause is not only wrong but has a big L on back.

'After people figure that out it will be another generation before anything as stupid as this will be allowed to happen.'

Blah, blah, blah, be afraid, be very afraid boo!

Obama is just loyal to himself, not the USA.Oct 21st, 2008 - 00:11:30

'Except his birth, citizenship, allegiance...'

The second one is very questionable and you don't demonstrate allegiance by surrounding yourself with people who hate the USA.

Obama is a 'citizen of the world' according to his own big mouth... I want an an unambiguous American as my president.

'Boo-hoo-hoo. Biggest crybaby I have heard in a long time.'

Hey, at least I don't shrilly and neurotically call everything I don't want to hear a 'lie'.

'Only your opinion and it means nothing!'

No. It is an assessment of the plans he has put out.

'He has proposed nothing like this'

Yes he has you maniac. You have even been told about it but you screamed that it was a 'lie' you pathetic fool. Firstly, have a look at the 'Global Poverty Act':

Obama bill: $845 billion more for global poverty
Democrat sponsors act that would cost 0.7% of gross national product

'The bill, called the Global Poverty Act, is the type of legislation, 'We can – and must – make … a priority,' said Obama, a co-sponsor. It would demand that the president develop 'and implement' a policy to 'cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015 through aid, trade, debt relief' and other programs.

The Global Poverty Act would 'result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States' and would make levels 'of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations.' If approved, dedicates 0.7 percent of the U.S. gross national product to foreign aid, which over 13 years he said would amount to $845 billion 'over and above what the U.S. already spends. The bill institutes the United Nations Millennium Summit goals as the benchmarks for U.S. spending.

it would 'declare' that the official U.S. policy is to eliminate global poverty, that the president is 'required' to 'develop and implement' a strategy to reach that goal and requires that the U.S. efforts be 'specific and measurable.'

the bottom line is that the legislation would mandate the 0.7 percent of the U.S. GNP as 'official development assistance.'

'In addition to seeking to eradicate poverty, that (U.N.) declaration commits nations to banning 'small arms and light weapons' and ratifying a series of treaties, including the International Criminal Court Treaty, the Kyoto Protocol (global warming treaty), the Convention of Biological Diversity, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women and the Convention of the Rights of the Child,' he said.

Those U.N. protocols would make U.S. law on issues ranging from the 2nd Amendment to energy usage and parental rights all subservient to United Nations whims. Jeffrey Sachs, who runs the 'Millennium Project,' confirms a U.N. plan to force the U.S. to pay 0.7 percent of GNP would add about $65 billion a year to what the U.S. already donates overseas.

And the only way to raise that funding, Sachs confirms, 'is through a global tax, preferably on carbon-emitting fossil fuels.'

This is JUST 1 bill that Obama has said will be a priority and it will turn over BILLIONS of dollars to the UN to fritter away allow them to enact laws that both tax and control us.

SO YES< HE WANTS TO GIVE AWAY OUR SOVEREIGNTY THAT GOOD MEN AND WOMEN HAVE FOUGHT, WORKED AND DIED TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT.

'you have just construed it this way to make yourself feel better for betting on the wrong horse.'

If Obama wins the country will be the loser.

'That and you have to lie, it must be like a drug to you as you need to lie all the time.'

I have not lied once you child. Show me where I have lied. You haven't been able to yet but you keep repeating that infantile charge over and over. It is pathetic that you label everything you don't want to hear a 'lie'.

'There is nothing 'American' about starting wars with innocent countries, '

There was nothing 'innocent' about Iraq.

'then sending in a force unprepared and under supplied'

Why did Obama vote to cut funding then?

' to be slaughtered until it is so abundently[sic] clear that you are loosing you finally do the correct thing and support your troops. '

He has never supported our troops. Had we followed HIS plan we would have had them slaughtered and routed out of Iraq by leaving too small a force to effectively protect themselves. Look up Obamas 'The Iraq War De-escalation Act' introduced SPECIFICALLY to STOP the Surge which he has only recently grudgingly admitted was a success. HE WAS WRONG.

'The only 'American' thing left to do is to get out---now!'

That is what you and he have been shrieking all along and the only thing you would have done until recently would have been to hand victory to al Qaeda, you moron. Newsflash: Even Obama isn't talking about pulling all our troops out anymore.

'More lies from the neo-con right-wing nutjob of the site. This is your opinion and and not worth a dime. '

It is in essence what he has said that he will do.

'Scumbags like those that surround McLame?'

No, scumbags like his racist preacher.
Scumbags like his OTHER racist preacher.
Scumbags like his murdering terrorist friend who declared war on the USA.
Scumbags like his OTHER murdering terrorist friend who declared war on the USA.
Scumbags like George Soros who wants to see the USA humbled and brought down a peg.
Even his wife thinks that we are a 'mean' country that she can only be proud of if her husband is elected to teach us a lesson.
Yeah, scumbags.

'Blah, blah, blah, be afraid, be very afraid boo!'

No, you are not concerned because your head is buried up your backside. You are a big baby who wants what she wants and doesn't want to hear the consequences. You are going to have consequences alright.
