rockrookie, you are so right!
But what if, gods forbid, your daughter is raped by a black man with AIDS?
The maniacal bible-thumping McCain/Palin duo will see to it that she will raise that child and she will like it.
Vote for McCain if you want religious freaks to rule America with an iron fist in a barbed wire glove... just like Saudi Arabia. You drink, you die. You practice adultery, you die. You steal a slice of bread.. off with your hand! Death to science! Death to un-Americans! Yay for theocracy!

Yes, tonyterner, we all love poking caged bears. It's kind of addictive.
Not many things in this world are more gut-bustingly funny than an old Yankee redneck so angry that all he can do is sputter and emit horrible high-pitched screeches, fumbling around in his overalls for his six shooter so he can administer some old fashioned Texas-style justice, getting tangled up in his Rebel flag, falling head-first into the butter churn and putting six rounds through the outhouse, scaring Grandma so bad she can't go for a month.
Seeing y'all go so utterly ballistic is just good clean fun, and it's why this election is the best ever... nothing gets a yank more terrified and downright vicious than the thought of a black president.
SirRoxalot
PS - If you ever get a chance to travel a little bit, outside of the US, you'd learn a lot. A whole lot of Europeans think that yanks are backward peasants... nice enough, but a bit simple minded. But of course you've created a whole host of phantom enemies, so silly yanks never travel outside of the posh resorts, or their army bases, and they never have a chance to broaden their views. Ah well.
PPS - George Carlin had a hilarious bit on how Americans seem to revere the wee blob of cells that is the unborn fetus, but hate the child once it's born, at least until it's of military age and becomes useful as cannon fodder on the front lines of the holy war. That was a piece of genius, you should look it up on YouTube. Funny, yet sad.
That's all for now. Vote early, and vote often!

SirRoxalot, you are certainly funny, a bit out of touch with reality, but funny just the same. I have traveled. I've been to Europe and to your fair country on more than one occasion. I guess the difference between us is I look at the good in people while you, well are just an rude ass. But a funny rude ass, but a rude ass just the same. lol I can honestly say I haven't seen a canadian so interested in American politics before. I have to wonder if you are nearly as interested in your own screwed up country. Its apparent that you love your socialist country and system. I'm happy for you. I'd jump in here and stir things up the next time you have an election but we don't really get much media coverage of the elections in third world countries so I"m not sure I will get the chance. Take care and have a happy Halloween, well that's if you are allowed to celebrate it in your country.

AP: Obama aunt from Kenya living in US illegally AP Posted: 2008-11-01 01:59:25 ContentType:Spot Development; ContentElement:FullStory; Breaking:True;
By EILEEN SULLIVAN and ELLIOT SPAGAT
Associated Press Writers
WASHINGTON (AP) - Barack Obama's aunt, a Kenyan woman who has been quietly living in public housing in Boston, is in the United States illegally after an immigration judge rejected her request for asylum four years ago, The Associated Press has learned.
Zeituni Onyango, 56, referred to as "Aunti Zeituni" in Obama's memoir, was instructed to leave the United States by a U.S. immigration judge who denied her asylum request, a person familiar with the matter told the AP late Friday. This person spoke on condition of anonymity because no one was authorized to discuss Onyango's case.
Information about the deportation case was disclosed and confirmed by two separate sources, one of them a federal law enforcment official. The information they made available is known to officials in the federal government, but the AP could not establish whether anyone at a political level in the Bush administration or in the McCain campaign had been involved in its release.
Onyango's refusal to leave the country would represent an administrative, non-criminal violation of U.S. immigration law, meaning such cases are handled outside the criminal court system. Estimates vary, but many experts believe there are more than 10 million such immigrants in the United States.
The AP could not reach Onyango immediately for comment. No one answered the telephone number listed in her name late Friday. It was unclear why her request for asylum was rejected in 2004.
Onyango is not a relative whom Obama has discussed in campaign appearances and, unlike Obama's father and grandmother, is not someone who has been part of the public discussion about his personal life.
A spokeswoman for U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, Kelly Nantel, said the government does not comment on an individual's citizenship status or immigration case.
Onyango's case - coming to light just days before the presidential election - led to an unusual nationwide directive within Immigrations and Customs Enforcement requiring any deportations prior to Tuesday's election to be approved at least at the level of ICE regional directors, the U.S. law enforcement official told the AP.
The unusual directive suggests that the Bush administration is sensitive to the political implications of Onyango's case coming to light so close to the election.
One of the sources acknowledged he was not a supporter of Obama or John McCain and said he has no plans to vote on Tuesday. He said that was not a motive for releasing the information.
Kenya is in eastern Africa between Somalia and Tanzania. The country has been fractured in violence in recent years, including a period of two months of bloodshed after December 2007 that killed 1,500 people.
The disclosure about Onyango came just one day after Obama's presidential campaign confirmed to the Times of London that Onyango, who has lived quietly in public housing in South Boston for five years, was Obama's half aunt on his father's side.
It was not immediately clear how Onyango might have qualified for public housing with a standing deportation order.

Associated Press Writer
CHICAGO (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Saturday he didn't know that one of his relatives was living in the United States illegally and believes the appropriate laws should be followed.
The Associated Press found that Obama's aunt had been instructed to leave the country four years ago by an immigration judge who rejected her request for asylum from her native Kenya. The woman, Zeituni Onyango (zay-TUHN on-YANG-oh), is living in public housing in Boston and is the half-sister of Obama's late father.
A statement given to the AP by Obama's campaign said, "Senator Obama has no knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws be followed."
Onyango is part of Obama's large paternal family, with many related to him by blood whom he barely knows. Obama first met Onyango when he traveled to Africa as an adult - he referred to her as "Auntie Zeituni" in his memoir.
The campaign said he has seen her a few times since that meeting, beginning with a return trip to Kenya with his wife, Michelle, four years after the first trip. Onyango visited the family in Chicago on a tourist visa at Obama's invitation about nine years ago, the campaign said, stopping to visit friends on the East coast before returning to Kenya.
She attended Obama's swearing-in to the U.S. Senate in 2004, but campaign officials said Obama provided no assistance in getting her a tourist visa and doesn't know the details of her stay. The campaign said he last heard from her about two years ago when she called saying she was in Boston, but he did not see her there.
Onyango's refusal to leave the country would represent an administrative, noncriminal violation of immigration law, meaning such cases are handled outside the criminal court system. Estimates vary, but many experts believe there are more than 10 million such immigrants in the U.S.
According to Federal Election Commission documents filed by the Obama campaign, Onyango has contributed $260 to Obama over a period of time. Under federal election law, only U.S. citizens or green-card holders are legally permitted to give money to campaigns. Onyango, who listed her employer as the Boston Housing Authority, gave in small increments to the Obama campaign. Her latest contribution was $5 on Sept. 19.

Hey Tony, Aint it funny how most of the people around the world don't have any use for our way of life,our government or our views on religion and abortion,etc until someone's getting ready to kick their butts or they have a natural disaster? A LOT of Americans gave their lives for countries all over the world when they need it but I'd hate to see what would happen if we need a hand! The scientists claim that the continents are moving together again.I wish we could sever our boundaries to the north and south and let us stay behind all by ourselves! Being that neither neighbor has much of a military and relies on us to protect them,I figure that when the continents finally come together the Russians will gobble them up like a like a bear eatin' honey! connrock

Connrock: “ . . . but I'd hate to see what would happen if we need a hand!” Well, there’s currently about 65,000 troops in Afghanistan, about half U.S. and half from forty other countries (NATO allies and others), including about 2,500 from Canada and 8,000 from the UK. (Obviously, the Afghanistan fight ain’t just for our benefit, but we initiated it.) Coalition fatalities by country – click on a country , every soldier is named: icasualties.org/oef/Bush Sr. put together a considerable coalition for the first Gulf War. Monkey Boy couldn’t quite match that for his wild goose chase in Iraq.

parfive, LOL Typical liberal only quoting part of a statement.
The full quote is:
"A LOT of Americans gave their lives for countries all over the world when they need it but I'd hate to see what would happen if we need a hand!"
I think it's obvious that I meant defending this country NOT helping us to help other countries to try to enjoy the way of life we love and enjoy here in the USA!
Yes we have lost a lot of good guys and gals in the middle east and so have other countries.
We can go back and forth (again) about how we got into this war but we both have different views on it.
The thing is that we are there and if we don't finish the job then all who have given their lives or have come home injured have done so for nothing.
You may be shocked to hear that I don't like Bush or any of his people but as far as our troops being in harms way,I don't give a hoot how or why they got there.They are there and need ALL of us to support them and NOT be giving them BAD PRESS!
This holds true for all of the troops who are trying their best to help.Not just our American troops but ALL of them!
I don't know if you are a Vet but I am and hated it when we were in a "situation" and heard people knocking us down back home about what we were doing.It was NOT our choice to be there but it was our choice to serve and obey the Supreme Commander no matter what the situation.
The LAST thing ANY military movement needs is politics or politicians!!
Leave the fighting to the military and the BS to the politicians,,,Liberal or Conservative!

Connrock: "LOL Typical liberal only quoting part of a statement."
Wrong on both counts. I quoted what I took exception to.
I thought we were in Afghanistan to defend this country, in addition to kickin' some ass when we first went in.
As for defending the mainland, it hasn't come up yet. Having an ocean on each side hasn't hurt in the past, so ya oughta thank the Indians for givin' good real estate.

Being that neither neighbor has much of a military and relies on us to protect them,I figure that when the continents finally come together the Russians will gobble them up like a like a bear eatin' honey! connrock Tom, I gotta take you to task on this one. I think a BIG part of why Canada and Mexico don't have big armies is because the United States WANTS IT THAT WAY. Really, how would the US like it if Canada and Mexico both had big military build-ups? Who says either country would necessarily be friendly with the US? Canada is probably the US's greatest ally, but that doesn't mean we don't have differences. For example, the US is the only country in the world that refuses to recognize Canada's jurisdiction over the Northwest Passage in the Arctic. With this channel becoming ice-free for the first time in history this summer, it's not difficult to imagine "issues" arising. If Canada became emboldened with a much stronger military, how much US military power would you want to divert to keep Canada "in line"? Similarly, what if Mexico built up a huge military force? Do you folks really see eye-to-eye with Mexico on every issue? How much of your military power are you prepared to devote to your southern border to keep Mexico in check? If you want to maintain your military presence in the rest of the world, where are you going to get these extra troops from? I think the US gains considerable advantage in having neighbours to the north and south that pose no military threat, and I think the US likes it that way. That's why it ticks me off when we get criticized about our lack of a strong military. Canada has the raw materials and know-how to build a huge stockpile of nuclear weapons, plus the aerospace industries to produce the delivery vehicles for those weapons. Would you really be happy if we pursued that route, right on your doorstep? Or does it work better with us having a military presence that poses no risk to the US, and you just bitching about it? -Don

Rich and Don, I guess no matter if we are liberal, conservative, American,Canadian or Mexican we really don't have a say in our government and tend to think the views of the government and their actions are what the people want.
I don't like much of what we do or how we do it but I have no control over it.Here we sit typing away to each other about matters that are far beyond us but I guess it's a good way for us to vent!
We have an election coming up and as far as I can see we don't even have control over it being run on the up and up!
As for Canada and Mexico building up their military I doubt if that will ever happen as they have us to protect them.That;s like me having a dozen body guards and wasting my money on a gun!
My resentment against Canada is NOT it's people but one thing I will NEVER forget is the (original) comment that the Canadian President made on 9/11. I saw and heard it live on TV and it made me V E R Y angry! He later covered his tracks and the original comments were squashed but MANY of us heard it and it left a bad taste in our mouths about how the Canadian govt really feels about us.
Mexico?? LOL If they didn't have drug trafficking and US big business down there they wouldn't have anything.
If I insulted anyone I didn't mean to.
I'm just venting like you!
God Bless ALL of us!
