You&#039;re sounding a little shrill and very much panties wrapped around the sack-ish. Great projection, though; the chosen defense mechanism of the psychopath and the paranoid.</description>

		<description>I haven&#039;t read every comment yet, so forgive me if the obvious question has already been asked.

How, exactly, are these terrorists going to support McCain?

Donations? Letters to the editor? McCain T-shirts? Blowing up something? Maybe they&#039;ll make phone calls to get out the vote. Or maybe they&#039;ll hijack a plane or take some hostages. Think maybe they&#039;ll buy some TV advertizing time?

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;I rebuke ALL of McCain&#039;s, Palin&#039;s, and ALL of their supporters evil actions against Obama-Biden ticket in the name and blood of Jesus. I send all of them back to the pit of hell where they come from, and I cover Obama-Biden in the blood of Jesus - Sen. Obama&#039;s Lord and Savior.

Sen. Obama will be vindicated- his National numbers will increase. As a result Sen. Obama&#039;s State-to-State votes will increase. As a result Sen. Obama&#039;s fundraising numbers will increase. As a result Sen. Obama will be elected president on Nov. 4, 2008. As a result Sen. Obama will be blessed in every area of his life. 

I [God ] will bless those who bless you [ Barack Obama], and whoever curses you [ Barack Obama], I [God] will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you [ Barack Obama].&quot; - Genesis 12:3 

Additionally, not any of McCain-Palin&#039;s WEAK campaign and personal  attacks of lies, hatred, fear, racism, and division WILL NEVER PREVAIL against Sen. Obama - this nation&#039;s next Commander-in-Chief !!!

You [ Barack Obama], are from God and have overcome them [the enemy&#039;s attacks, schemes, and plots ] , because the one [God] who is in you [ Barack Obama]  is greater than the one [the enemy ] who is in the world. - 1 John 4:4

No weapon forged against you [ Barack Obama] will prevail, and you [ Barack Obama] will refute every tongue that accuses you [ Barack Obama] . This is the heritage of the servants [ Barack Obama] of the LORD, and this is their [ Barack Obama] vindication from me,&quot; declares the LORD. - Isaiah 54:17 

&quot; I [ God ] will send my terror ahead of you [ Barack Obama] and throw into confusion every nation you [ Barack Obama] encounter. I [ God ] will make all your [ Barack Obama] enemies turn their backs and run.&quot; - Exodus 23:27

The Lord will rescue me [ Barack Obama] from every evil attack and will bring me [ Barack Obama] safely to his heavenly kingdom. - 2 Timothy 4:18

11 For he will command his angels concerning you [ Barack Obama] to guard you [ Barack Obama ] in all your ways; 12 they will lift you [ Barack Obama ] up in their hands, so that you [ Barack Obama ] will not strike your [his] foot against a stone. 13 You [ Barack Obama ] will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you [ Barack Obama ] will trample the great lion and the serpent. - Psalm 91:11-13 

I have given you [ Barack Obama ] authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you [ Barack Obama ]. - Luke 10:19
 
It&#039;s time for the American people to get it right and NOT vote for McCain-Palin, instead vote for change. It&#039;s time for this country to turn the page and seek a new and better future for ourselves and our children.It&#039;s time for REAL change in Washington, it&#039;s time to elect Barack Obama for president !

Obama-Biden are the wiser and stronger team to solve the crucial challenges we have in this nation and abroad !

Amen.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>This is not the first time we heard this. The bankruptcy thing was supposedly said back in 2004 too. And of course, AQ cannot win USA militarily so they need to make sure &quot;the great satan&quot; (or whatever they call USA) uses massive amounts of resources and thus bleed sort of to death in this way. Nothing suprising about this nor about blowbacks. With operation cyclone Zbig + Carter made sure that the Soviets had their own &#039;Nam in Afghanistan in the late 70&#039;s and also during the 80&#039;s. It contributed to the downfall of the Soviet Union. So of course AQ would want to use the same tactic. They need US presence in the middle-east so that a &quot;holy war&quot; is an easier sell.
_________________
A new study from the RAND Corporation examined how 648 terror groups around the world ended between 1968 and 2006. It found that by far the most common way for them to disappear was to be absorbed by the political process. The second most common way was to be defeated by police work. In contrast, in only 7 percent of cases did military force destroy the terrorist group.

&quot;There is no battlefield solution to terrorism,&quot; the report declares. &quot;Military force usually has the opposite effect from what is intended.&quot;

		<description>Why are conservatives even arguing about this? Our own CIA reported that it was clear that Bin Laden&#039;s taped message 1 week before the 2004 election was designed to help Bush win reelection.

His policies (and, by extension, McCain&#039;s) have led to an unprecidented surge in al Qaeda recruitment and a complete destablization of the Middle East. Both our CIA and our State Department have reported that there are more terrorists and terrorist attacks today than before the 9-11 attack so Bush/McCain style foreign policy is, by definition, better for terrorists.</description>

<p>His policies (and, by extension, McCain&#8217;s) have led to an unprecidented surge in al Qaeda recruitment and a complete destablization of the Middle East.

		<description>I am a white, heterosexual, married with 3 kids, roman catholic, conservative and I endorse Barack Obama.

Any Republicans want to venture a guess why I do? Remember I am NOT Republican, so I cannot be RINO, although I am conservative. Due to that conservatism, I cannot possibly be a liberal or a Democrat.

So those answers are already taken!</description>

&quot;In my view this is clearly a fake-out, strange as it might seem.&quot;

Do you also think that was the case for the Hamas endorsement of Obama? Why do you think Hamas would bother endorsing any American politician given their long history of terrorist attacks on Israel? Do you think there is a difference between an endorsement from an anti American group as opposed to an anti Isreali group with regards to the US Presidential elections?</description>

		<description>I personally don&#039;t give a DAMN what al Qaeda says, but it&#039;s no secret that they want to break us the same way they broke the Soviets (with our help) in Afghanistan.

That&#039;s why they attacked us on 9/11.  The wanted to provoke a stupid response.

Unfortunately, we had a cowboy/chimp in the White House who swallowed the bait hook, line and sinker.  Not only did the morons in the Chimp administration do al Qaeda&#039;s bidding by taking out their old enemy, Saddam, but they also wanted to expand the war to take on al Qaeda&#039;s other enemy in the region:  Shia Iran.  Double plus good for al Qaeda, not so good for us.

Now, thanks to Smirky the Chimp&#039;s brilliant &quot;war on terra,&quot; the US is broke and our economy is in the toilet, our armed forces are over-stretched, and al Qaeda (via the Taliban) is once again breaking bad in Afghanistan.  It looks like we&#039;ve got them right where they want us.

Let al Qaeda endorse McSame because he will continue Smirky the Chimp&#039;s disastrous policies in Iraq.  Screw them!! Who cares?  We need to elect a president who&#039;s too smart to play their game.</description>

limited hangout&lt;/em&gt;

Interesting link.  It&#039;s also interesting that the US has never charged Osama with any crime relating to 911.  He is on the most wanted list, I think, because of his involvement in the Cole bombing.

Wouldn&#039;t it be amazing to find out that the boogey man wasn&#039;t really the boogey man after all?</description>

		<description>OK I get it now. If the whole organisation endorses you then it is important. But if just certain members are endorsing it doesn&#039;t count. So it really wouldn&#039;t count if say just Osama Bin Laden, and not all of Al-Qaeda, came out and endorsed John McCain right?

I guess it really doesn&#039;t matter that HAMAS attacks Israel but Al-Qaeda attacks America! Which group is the real threat to America. I mean besides neocons!</description>

		<description>Excuse me, but the so-called endorsement of Obama by Hamas was just one guy who was not speaking for Hamas.  So, how is this different again?</description>
