Obama: A-B
“A”
AYERS – Just “a guy from the neighborhood.”
· Obama tried to distance himself from his friend, Mr. Ayers at first, saying Ayers [a terrorist and admitted Marxist] did his despicable acts when Obama was only 8. When that statement was proved false, and that Ayers had helped to launch one of Obama’s campaigns, he said Ayers had reformed. Reformed? On 9/11, Ayers said he wished he’d been able to do more (bombing Americans). [Mayhap Obama will appoint Ayers Secretary of Defense….]
ACORN – Association of Community Organizations for Reforming New
· Under investigation in 15 states (and counting) for violations of widespread voter registration fraud. [Most are crucial swing states.]
· Operating in at least 38 states (as well as
· Former ACORN Miami-Dade field director Mac Stuart has made charges of rampant voter fraud operations. Stuart was employed and specifically tasked by ACORN to generate 103,000 new voter registrations from Dade County, FL. He reports that ACORN threw out Republican registrations while paying for Democratic ones.
· Registered people numerous times under different names, registered former felons, took names from the phone book at random and registered them. In Ohio, a worker for one affiliate was given crack cocaine in exchange for fraudulent registrations that included underage voters, dead voters, and pillars of the community named Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy, Jive Turkey, Fruto Boy Crispila, and, yes, even Mickey Mouse [They may have registered Mickey, whose original name was “Mortimer,” but I defy them to force Mickey to vote for Obama!]
· Video interview [Yes, I viewed it.] of ACORN worker stating she not only registered people, but encouraged them to vote for Obama.
· Obama received an endorsement from the group’s political action committee in February 2008
· Obama directed Project Vote. This year, Project Vote and ACORN worked together on a nationwide voter registration drive, and they have worked together on other initiatives in the past.
· The Obama campaign paid a group called Citizens’ Services $832,386 during the primaries. Some of the expenditures are listed as “sound, stage and lighting,” and others are listed as “get-out-the-vote efforts.” ACORN has said Citizens Services subcontracted out part of the get-out-the-vote work to ACORN. The Obama campaign said it paid Citizens’ Services, who in turn paid $80,000 to ACORN. The two groups share offices in New Orleans. [Yeah, hard to follow, but I get the drift.]
· Obama represented ACORN in a voter registration case along with other plaintiffs in a case against the governor of Illinois, demanding that the state better enforce a new federal law known as “motor voter,” which allowed people to register to vote when they got their driver’s license. [Obama wants to give illegal aliens driver’s licenses. Hmm. Gotta give Obama snaps as a brave attorney if he defended ACORN in a voter registration case, but where was he when O.J. needed him?]
ABORTION –
· Obama will sign the Freedom of Choice Act, as he promised the Planned Parenthood Action Fund last year, nullifying hundreds of state laws that have created a slight barrier to abortion.
“B” BIDEN – Obama’s running-mate.
· As some of you are writers, doesn’t it bother you he stole words from an Englishman’s book, and used them in a speech he made while running for president? [Okay, no big deal. It ain’t like he was foolin’ around with an intern or anything.]· It’s a matter of record: Biden stated Obama wasn’t ready to be President of the United States.
· Biden’s words below are scarier than my unruly curls on a bad hair day. Here’s his latest gaff [unless ya wanna count his remark that J-O-B-S is a three-letter word….]: “Mark my words,” Biden told donors at a Seattle fund-raiser Sunday night. “It will not be six months before the world tests like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Watch. We’re going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.” [Ah, gee. What can I say? I never thought I’d agree with Joe Biden. Except the part about us electing Obama. We’re not sheep.]
BAILOUT of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac-
· Obama didn’t join the fight in 2005, when reformers like McCain tried to rein in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
· Greenspan blames the problems (of FM and FM) on heavy demand for securities backed by subprime mortgages. [Initiated by a liberal Democrat Congress.]
· The following was written by a journalist to other journalists. I read it and he’s accurately stating the facts. I couldn’t include the entire article, so this is edited…
Would the Last Honest Reporter Please Turn On the Lights?
By Orson Scott Card
Editor’s note: Orson Scott Card is a Democrat and a newspaper columnist.
An open letter to the local daily paper — almost every local daily paper in
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were authorized to approve risky loans. What is a risky loan? It’s a loan that the recipient is likely not to be able to repay. The goal of this rule change was to help the poor — which especially would help members of minority groups. But how does it help these people to give them a loan that they can’t repay? They get into a house, yes, but when they can’t make the payments, they lose the house — along with their credit rating. They end up worse off than before.
This was completely foreseeable, and in fact many people did foresee it. One political party, in Congress and in the executive branch, tried repeatedly to tighten up the rules. The other party blocked every such attempt and tried to loosen them. These are facts. The party that blocked any attempt to prevent it was … the Democratic Party. The party that tried to prevent it was … the Republican Party. This was a Congress-caused crisis, beginning during the
But instead, that candidate was Barack Obama, and so you [journalists] have buried this story, and when the McCain campaign dared to call Raines an “adviser” to the Obama campaign — because that campaign had sought his advice — you [journalists] actually let Obama’s people get away with accusing McCain of lying, merely because Raines wasn’t listed as an official adviser to the Obama campaign. If you [journalists] who produce our local daily paper had any personal honor, you [journalists] would find it unbearable to let the American people believe that somehow Republicans were to blame for this crisis.
If you [journalists] had any principles, then surely right now, when the American people are set to blame President Bush and John McCain for a crisis they tried to prevent, and are actually shifting to approve of Barack Obama because of a crisis he helped cause, you [journalists] would be laboring at least as hard to correct that false impression.
If you [journalists] want to redeem your honor, you will swallow hard and make a list of all the stories you would print if it were McCain who had been getting money from Fannie Mae, McCain whose campaign had consulted with its discredited former CEO, McCain who had voted against tightening its lending practices. Then you [journalists] would print them, even though every one of those true stories will point the finger of blame at the reckless Democratic Party that put our nation’s prosperity at risk so they could feel good about helping the poor, and lay a fair share of the blame at Obama’s door.
You [journalists] will also tell the truth about John McCain: that he tried, as a Senator, to do what it took to prevent this crisis.
You [journalists] will tell the truth about President Bush: that his administration tried more than once to get Congress to regulate lending in a responsible way. If you at our local daily newspaper continue to let Americans believe — and vote as if — President Bush and the Republicans caused the crisis, then you are joining in that lie.
If you do not tell the truth about the Democrats — including Barack Obama — and do so with the same energy you would use if the miscreants were Republicans — then you are not journalists by any standard. You’re just the public relations machine of the Democratic Party, and it’s time you [journalists] were all fired and real journalists brought in, so that we can actually have a news paper in our city. [I’m feeling faint. Good thing I have a stack of manuscripts behind me to break my fall. An honest journalist who is a DEMOCRAT, taking this peers to task. There is a God.]
That’s all I have time for today, darn it.

Not jumping into this fray because I have to choose where I place my finite energies but I do thank you for pointing me to Orson Scott Card. I read a number of his WorldWatch posts and found them to be very interesting, in a less inflammatory way.
Obama’s still my candidate.

Hi Patricia W.,
Yeah, I have finite energy too. I was supposed to do A-E!
Thanks for postin’.

Thanks for this post. I’m rather surprised at the article. Written by a democrat? It just seems that the media is sooooo swayed toward Obama that Obama gets all the good press and TV time while McCain gets swept under the rug or dissed on TV. There isn’t much in the way of fair press coverage, that’s for sure. ***oh, unless it’s to talk about someone’s wardrobe, of course, I mean, come on, that’s so pertinent to the race, right?
Thanks for this.

I come from a family that is politically diverse, yet maintains a central theme of patriotism and faith in our Lord and country.
Regardless of our political swings toward right or left, we all have common ground in the middle where truth can be found.
Facts and fur can fly in spirited debates between liberals, conservatives and moderates–we all benefit in the end, and never divulge who we voted for. (Until the first major political gaf. Then we point fingers at each other for voting for that person.)
The media has been quoted during many arguments, only to fall when confronted with the ‘full’ story. (Ahhh… the internet and the resources there.) The liberal POV dominates the press while facts remain in the dusty, musty, confines of cyperspace and the local library. The media focuses on ’selected phrases’ (versus full context) and the younger votes. The fact is… young folks just want change but are too lazy to work for it, or go out and vote for it.
Kudos to Orson Scott Card. I hope his article reaches more people. Regardless of their political inclinations.

Great job in researching all this information Kelly. Jim and I are more than ever convinced that O would be the wrong candidate. I am horrified with the news media.
I worked with a beautiful Christian woman who was recently divorced a number of years ago. She explained that her journalist husband and his co-workers would get together often in a writing party in which they drank and used drugs, then threw dice as to what type of fictional (political) news they could come up with. I couldn’t believe what I heard but the poor woman was so firm about it and she said although she didn’t believe in divorce she could no longer live with the lies she saw in print, knowing where they came from.
I see such George Orwell work coming to pass in our society that it is just plain scary.
Oh, I would love to mention that I am 100% behind Sara and her clothing. I think that the highest forms of office in our USA should dress sharply to represent the greatest nation on earth. Why not? It says volumes about us as a country of freedom. Why in the world would you wear frumpy brown clothing depicting boredom and prison? Why would someone want to look like they were too dowdy to represent our government?
Hey! I am a little overweight, but I take pride in myself and my country and put on my best to go before the King. I wrote an article about that for church…they didn’t like it, said I was too judgmental. I do embrace and accept everyone that comes through the church doors, but someone who is dressing badly for a fashion statement doesn’t represent their King very well. I am referring to shorts, torn Levi jeans, short short skirts and way low cut blouses and sweaters. They are out of place for a woman who is sincerely walking with the Lord. I am not refereeing to a poor sister or brother who has nothing else to wear. I think we better redefine judgment in our language.
Oh my gosh, did I get off track? O and his wife dress nicely. By the way, Mrs. O is not running, but I bet she gets some new outfits if her husband gets elected and it will be me paying for them. Whine, I want a new dress too!
Maybe with my big break in taxes, I can afford one, but….then there is the payment to consider…my taxes on the other hand can’t afford it.
You are great Kelly! Do you think you could compile your work into some type of voting book that we can carry with us, you know, just to remind us what we are doing and for whom??
Keep up the good work.
Hugs to all.

The Republican Trust is in need of donations to air the Obama/Rev. Wright association in these last few days before the election. John McCain is too much of a gentleman to do it himself but it needs to be done. Check it out.

Patricia,
Would you be willing to stick your neck out and tell me why you are still voting for Obama? I can’t understand why. I am not going to berate you or beat you up, but I too am becoming scared and ill knowing what I know about this person. Believe me when I say color has nothing to do with this issue for me. I can’t believe that you would still stand by this man when Kelly is putting the facts on the table for all of us. If this were fiction then of course, one would not have to worry about these ideas.
Go to the next steps and read about the Missionaries that have uncovered even more facts.
I don’t think that people should blame the McCain camp for pointing out these facts. People all over the world are digging them up and are dismayed at what is coming out.
Thanks for the help Patricia. Thank you Kelly for the work you are doing.
Blessings to all,
Paulette Harris

I have two friends who are voting for Obama–both writers (go figure!). We have discussed and discussed their reasons and they will not be swayed.
One is voteing for Obama because “We cannot stand another 4 or 8 years of the Bush economic policies.” Believe me, I’ve talked until I’m blue in the face trying to explain that President Bush certainly bears some responsibility but that the roots of the current economic crisis run deep and are buried primarily in the Democratic Party. But I have wasted my breath.
The other one said this: “Don’t send me anything more about Obama, please. If he is guilty of any or all of the things you pointed out I don’t want to know it as I absolutely cannot vote for McCain.”
So Kelly, thanks for the effort but I fear you are preaching, as I have, to the choir.
October 28th, 2008 at 21:13
And yes, I KNOW there is no ‘e’ in voting. Sorry. My fingers got away from me.
October 29th, 2008 at 00:24
I know what you mean Night Owl. I am completely drained at attempting to explain the agenda of this man. I just found out who my mom voted for. Now I can honestly say she is starting to deal with Alzheimers. She is the one who taught me reasoning and I fear for her now. I can’t believe it after all the conversations we have had. I think now that these people are spiritually blind and somehow they have been hypnotized. My mother isn’t really a lazy person but she does depend on the news media a lot, she also expects a lot from the leaders because she is older and on a set income. She is buying into a lie of promises from this man and I am crying my heart out.
I can’t understand why Bush is getting such bad hits. He stumbled into this office with such terrible circumstances and not many Dems to back him. How can people not see this???
By the way, I think I will write O’Reily. Has anyone remembered that just before President Bush sent troops to Iraq, that Hussein was quickly sending all his weapons over the Syrian border. The news on all channels was showing that every day. I kept saying to Jim, “Look at that! Why doesn’t President Bush jump now?” Of course, unfortunately, he sent the troops in after the fact, but hey! The people are free and happy to be there now. And despite other beliefs, they wanted to be. Same for Afghanistan. I have missionary friends there who are committed to loving those people and they love them to pieces back.
Isn’t that part of the Agenda of the United States to support people who have no freedoms and hope? Saddam killed thousands of his own people.
He was truly evil.
I said twenty-five years ago in San Jose, CA. that we need to have another Boston Tea Party! SERIOUSLY! We need to up rise and take our country back folks.
Enuf!
So sorry I forgot and got on a rant again.
Hugs,
Paulette

I don’t have a lot to say here. Kelly has said it all, and said it well. Sometimes things are so troubled and the spirit world so heavy that words are hard to formulate. That is the way things are for me right now. I don’t believe Bush economics are responsible for the current economic situation. I believe his economics are superior to Marx economics. But even if not, before God I have to vote conscience, not economy. And my conscience will vote for a patriot with declared Christian principles before it will vote for someone whose every important stance is in violation of God’s principles. And that sums up this race for me. Thanks Kelly for all the work and effort you put into filling in the details for us.
