The Choice is a No Brainer

Who Are You Voting For?

I've been thinking.

I do that from time to time.

Anyhow, I've been thinking I have no choice but to vote. 

Earlier in the year I said, and meant it, that I felt I could not vote the way things were going.  I'm not excited about any of the candidates at all.  I've said repeatedly I'm not a McCain supporter and I had no desire to vote for him.

Of course many razzed me saying no vote is a vote for Hillary or Obama.  So what?  To me they all looked alike once you get past color and gender. 

Anyhow I've been thinking. 

Now it's down to two.  Obama and McCain. 

When all is said and done I have to admit Senator McCain has not spent decades aiding and abetting people who hate America. 

Quite the opposite.  He paid a huge price for resisting our enemies even as they held him prisoner and tortured him.   What has Obama done?  What has he proven to us? 

The choice is a no brainer.

I'm voting for McCain.

I will too.

Not because I am really enthused by him, but because I don't let an election day go by without voting...just because I can.:P

Obama hasn't spent decades aiding and abetting people who hate America either but you wouldnt know that if simply wish to believe the spin without actually doing some research. Since the rep party has damaged itself so badly I suspect the Dems will win enough seats in congress to override vetos if McCain gets elected so the decision lies in who you want to be nominating court judges,be Commander-In Chief, and who you want to control the withdrwal from Iraq...Yes withdrawal because if you had watched the negotiations between the Us and Iraqi government which was broadcast on CSPAN the other day you would know that the majority of parties in the Iraqi parliment want the US troops out (the only difference is the timetable within which to do it), don't want long term US bases within their sovereign terrritory and dont think the U.S. should have ever invaded Iraq. So although we did get rid of Hussein which will hopefully end up being a good thing, I wonder if we will ever be able to say Mission Accomplished.

There aren't only two running, and a legitimate Conservative's name will be on the ticket in every state.  Consider all the candidates whose names will be on the ballot for President before you settle for someone who has already pledged their allegience to the House and Senate Democrats.

so the decision lies in who you want to be nominating court judges


That's pretty much it in a nut shell.

You claim you think yet your statement that you are voting McSame belies that allegedly existent thought.

Except one has sworn to follow the constitution, and McSame has promised to continue the Bush destruction of the US economy while slaughtering as many US soldiers as he can in Iraq.

And if you vote for McSame it is obvious you have no brains.

What has Obama done?


Actually SUPPORTED the constitution, unlike McSame who recently stated that he belives the rights of the president supersede the law and the constitution?

Actually SUPPORTED the constitution,

really he's a supporter of the constituion?  What part?  The part that will elect him President?  Because last I knew he objected to saluting the flag or wearing a flag pin. 

Besides that's sort of vague.  Tell me something he's done or believes about our country.  I'm a little skeered abut the "changing our country part" he's been expousing of late. 

And if you vote for McSame it is obvious you have no brains.

Has anyone ever told you...you are rude?  I hope I'm not the first.  Someone is not doing you any favors otherwise.

Sorry, but the joke has to be made with a title like that . . .

You're right. Only people with no brains would vote for McCain. :CONGRAT:

ha!  So you're saying it takes BRAINS to vote for Obama?  Tell me what brain cells are telling you to vote for this man who has done nothing, came out of complete nowhere, has no experience anywhere and has a questionable view of this country? 

McCain, at least has done service, been around a long time and proven his love for his country. 

He's not my favorite by a long shot, but I think you'd have to be absolutely brain dead to vote for Obama.  I see the young kids flocking to him in droves.  Not smart.

oh...and to boot.

I just got off the phone with my 90 year old grandmother who is practically in hysterics. She's a die-hard democrat her whole life and is incensed that Obama made it this far. She watches CNN 24/7 and still says she knows practically NOTHING about this man.

She's actually referring to him as the Anti Christ that we've been waiting for.

Who knows? Maybe he is!

I thought Bush was the anti-Christ?


haven't heard that one......

Or was that Clinton...


hmmmmmm well maybe "an anti-christ"

Could it be....HUCKABEE?


nah. He's too......well....too Baptist!

I have no idea who "the AC" is nor do I pretend to know. Somewhere along the line it will be most evident but not before he charms and speaks his way to the top. So that's one reason Bush didn't qualify. This AC will be a smooth orator telling people what they want to hear.

Just as a point of curiosity, what has Obama done to aid and abet the enemy?

Your argument above has virtually nothing to do with who either candidate is or what their positions are, it's almost entirely an issue of experience.  If that's a major selling point for you, fine, but don't twist it into something else to make Obama look like a terrorist lover is a bit dishonest.

Personally, I wish Obama had waited 4-8 years before running, get some more experience under his belt to make him a stronger candidate.  I think this run is way too early for him and if he is elected, he'll have a troubled one-term presidency.

Now that that's over:

Obama/Winfrey 2008. Is he the anti-christ? I don't know, but if he is, he has his false prophet... The power she weilds, along with the new self focused... thing... she's pushing...

hmmmmm didn't think about that one Jay. She's way out there that's for sure. Her world wide guru activities of late would certainly help her position.

Who knows.....maybe he should elect her as his VP.  :p  Who would able to beat that duo?

Well my point wasn't about aiding the enemy so much as it was his not fully supporting our country as he seems to have another country forefront in his mind. I'm just saying McCain has proven himself loyal but I'm not seeing this with Obama and his background seems to have alot to do with this.

His activities and family ties with militant Muslims including the possiblility of campaiging for one(Luo Raila Odinga) who claims to be Obama's cousin in Africa in 06 is suspect. I'm still looking into that as I'm just starting to uncover these facts.

Ok, how has he not fully supported the country?  The lapel pin?  Is that the best that anyone can come up with?

I'll also ask this question here... what does it matter if his family has members who are muslim?  Even militant ones?  Are you telling me that no one in your family is a little bit off their rocker?  Should we judge you by the actions of members of your family?

I've been digging in Google for a while for references to Obama actively supporting militant islamists.  The closest I can come up with is his support of Raila Odinga, a cousin (supposedly) versus Mwai Kibaki in the recent Kenyan Presidential Election.

The problem here is that there's nothing definite.  It's all guilt by association with almost nothing concrete to back it up.  Is there anything to prove that he would enact policies in line with islamic law?  Has he ever claimed or made any statements even close to that?  Has he ever tried to bring a law to the senate floor, or cosponsored any bill that would imply it?

I have a sister who is left of jesus and extremely passionate about her views.  But the fact that she has those views in no way influences my voting, or how I lead my life.

If you actually do some research you will find plenty of information about Raila Odinga and when u further research the issue involving a pact made with the muslim leaders in Kenya you will find that this statement within a BBC article:

Muslim leaders decided to make the pact public after a document circulated on the internet claimed that Mr Odinga's ODM had pledged to introduce Sharia in parts of the country where Muslims are in the majority.

The ODM is hoping Mr Odinga can hold on to his poll lead

"There was a fear that Muslims will force their faith on other people, Islam does not allow suppression of other religions and we will be the last to advocate for this," said Abdullahi Abdi of the National Muslim Leaders Forum.

Instead the memorandum of understanding, signed in August, states that Mr Odinga has pledged to defend Muslims against harassment and victimisation by state security forces who claim to be fighting terrorism."

If you search further you will find this info backed up by a similar article posted on a VOA website.



Imagine that Kenya faces some of the same problems we do. And their political campaigns present the same challenge.....sifting through partisan fodder to find the truth..


Although i grew up in a Christian family i no longer actively attend any church. But it truly saddens me to see someone who wears their religion on their shirt be such a hypocrite....or maybe even heretic would be fitting.

No there's alot of stuff that gives me and others pause.  You mentioned just one.  The fact that he was seen arms stiff at his sides while the pledge was being recited.  His heavy inolvment with Kenyen Muslim politics even doing some campaigning there.  His invovment including giving large sums of money to Rev Wright and his causes.  His wife's admission of how she had never been proud of the US until just recently etc.  Never? 

Where have you been? 

I'll also ask this question here... what does it matter if his family has members who are muslim? Even militant ones? Are you telling me that no one in your family is a little bit off their rocker? Should we judge you by the actions of members of your family?

I think his background especially when it's so heavily Muslim influenced should be looked into.  Yes.  How do you know he's not a mole for the Muslim cause? 

We all have family eccentrics and should not be held accountable but that's not what I'm speaking of.  Besides, if you look closer at his friends connection there should also be some eyebrowing raising like I mentioned on my other blog dealing with this same issue.  Friends like Rev Wright, his childhood mentor Frank Davis and even Oprah the most powerful woman in America. 

All I'm saying is, his lack of experience, his questionable background and current affiliations, his seemingly lack of patriotism and the fact he just came out of nowhere should give us all pause.  It's just common sense.  He's young enough.  If he's Presidential material, then let's see him back in four years after he's been in the spotlight a bit.  Right now that's why I'm saying this is a no brainer. 

We would be really stupid to jump the gun and put this man in the Presidential seat when there still seems to be so many questions surrounding him.

You just buy whatever you're sold, don't you? Come on, my friend, I expect a little more critical thinking from you than this.



Gimme a break. The 'questions surrounding him' are lies spun by vicious people with ulterior motives. Two seconds of research will prove most allegations against Obama false.

Keep in mind he wasn't even my choice, but I won't stand around and have these libelous things bandied about on here.

He's also for killing as many white police as possible.

Remember its McSame who has promised to spend the next 100 years getting US soldiers killed in Iraq.

Then you know very little because neither of those things are correct.
