Saw on the news this morning that if B. HUSSEIN <span style='font-family: Arial Black'>No</span>Bama was an ordinary citizen he would not be allowed to work for the government. Seems he <span style='font-family: Arial Black'>could not</span> pass the FBI background check and <span style='font-family: Arial Black'>would not</span> be able to get a security clearance. Too many ties to terrorist organizations. Yep. This is what we need running the country.

Speaking of ties.. McCain is trying to tie Obama to that Palestinian fellow - saying the relationship is too close.
I saw on more than one news source last night that McCain paid nearly $500K to the SAME guy.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The McCain campaign, hoping to foment doubts about Barack Obama in the Jewish community, has complained that a newspaper has "suppressed'' a videotape of Obama attending a dinner with Rashid Khalidi, an Arab studies scholar and advocate of Palestinian rights, back in 2003.

But "the latest guilt-by-association target that the McCain campaign is using to hit Barack Obama could carry some collateral damage for its own candidate,'' the Huffington Post notes.
.
During the 1990s, while McCain served as chairman of the International Republican Institute (IRI), the group distributed several grants to the Palestinian research center co-founded by Khalidi.

A 1998 tax filing for the McCain-led group shows a $448,873 grant to Khalidi's Center for Palestine Research and Studies for work in the West Bank, the Post notes. The relationship extends back as far as 1993, when McCain joined IRI as chairman.. Foreign Affairs noted in September of that year that IRI had helped fund several extensive studies in Palestine run by Khalidi's group, including over 30 public opinion polls and a study of "sociopolitical attitudes."

"Of course,'' the Post writes, "there's seemingly nothing objectionable with McCain's organization helping a Palestinian group conduct research in the West Bank or Gaza. But it does suggest that McCain could have some of his own explaining to do as he tries to make hay out of Khalidi's ties to Obama.''

Not sure who is trying to "tie" B. HUSSEIN to what organization. Just repeating what I saw on the news.
Also saw where a member of ACORN said he LIED about his ties to that organization. If he has done nothing wrong why does he refuse to tell the truth? I think the American people have a right to know about his past. His campaign certainly tried very hard to dig up something on Joe the Plumber simply because he asked a question. What is going to happen when somebody in Congress or the Senate disagrees with him? Prison? [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]

Just saying what I saw on the news myself - that it works both ways

Give it a rest man. He will become your next Prez.

If you have tried to learn as much as you can about your candidate and you are satisfied with him then you have done your civic duty. I can honestly say that a few months ago I was undecided. I have voted both dem and pub. B. HUSSEIN lost me by not being open and honest about his past. Too many unanswered questions for me.

I was undecided for a long time, then one candidate pulled ahead and the other made steps backwards.

I'm far from being an idiot. It's called having a choice in America and it's why we have elections. I could turn the tables on you with the old geezer because it certainly works both ways. Congrats on being an ass - that's one fine way to convince me to change my vote.

It won't take long for us to see who was right and who was wrong.
The one person I REALLY hope is wrong is Joe Biden. The statement he made about B. HUSSEIN being tested within 6 months should have opened some eyes. Wasn't that far off from what Hillary said. I have a feeling most of the world would know better than to "test" McCain.
