Introspect: Faces for McCain

A look at the varying faces supporting John McCain—in their own words.

The 2008 election year has seen voters split and split again along lines of ideology and cause, race and religion, hopes and dreams—and change. Ultimately we're all Americans expressing our voice as only Americans can.

Below are the voices of just a few of those who support Senator John McCain for president. What they share in common is that they're Americans first, they refuse to be separated along lines of gender, race or religion and most importantly, they know that John McCain can deliver the change that is needed for all Americans.

There are those of us who see through the frenzied media machine that is Barack Obama. We choose to look beyond his carefully crafted words, because we cannot take him at his word; beyond dramatic posters, because we do not buy into media hype; beyond skin color, origin or ethnicity, because we don't choose our leaders based on appearance. We want a president who is strong, capable and most importantly ready to fight to ensure that we, as Americans, all have the opportunity to live in a country of amazing freedoms, democracy and opportunity.

'The Ultimate Jew' Responds to Silverman's 'Great Schlep'

Jackie Mason pokes holes in the 'schlep' and tells voters to support John McCain—or whoever they want.

The "Great Schlep": Sarah Silverman encourages young voters to harass their grandparents into voting for Barack Obama. We've got to give it to her, Silverman is very good at monologues, like that one from her Sarah Silverman Program where she had to go to court and fight to get her dog back—after she was caught licking its butt. We can appreciate the metaphor as it plays out in the "Great Schlep," and wonder just how many nannys, papis, grandmas or grandpas want advice from Silverman on judging character. She's got the market cornered on f@#king Matt Damon and shirking every ounce of morality, but little Sarah-bots berating grandparents—who've certainly earned the right to apply their experience in making a decision—seriously?

Jackie Mason seizes this sentiment with his response to the overzealous if not completely disgraceful Silverman.

Obama's Ties to Tony Rezko and Alexi Giannoulias

Closing the Obama-Rezko gap.

Who is Alexi Giannoulias? Could there really be yet another shady connection that will finally grow legs in the media.

Obama helped Alexi Giannoulias (D) win a run for Illinois State Treasurer. Giannoulias has helped fund Barack Obama. They met on a basketball court, and it appears the two scratch each others' backs. Giannoulias spoke at the DNC: "Barack Obama has been my basketball buddy, my friend, my mentor and my inspiration."

From Giannoulias' website: "Prior to taking office, Giannoulias served as vice president and senior loan officer at Broadway Bank in Chicago’s Edgewater community. Crain’s Chicago Business rated Broadway the No. 1 Bank in Illinois for five years based on return on assets. Giannoulias grew up in Chicago, graduated cum laude from Boston University and earned a law degree from Tulane University’s School of Law in New Orleans." Obama says about Giannoulias, "... he's one of the most outstanding young men that I could ever hope to meet ..."

But of course this beautiful marriage of money and politics is more than meets the eye. Giannoulias is rumored to have financed Chicago figures with ties to the mob. It is also rumored that Broadway Bank is about to come out as being politically connect with Tony Rezko. The Chicago Sun-Times reported on Oct. 11 that Tony Rezko has been "spilling the beans." And some are speculating that Obama could be looking at jail. (No Quarter has a different take on this story.)

This post won't go into detail, but suffice it to say, maybe America will pay close attention to this one, hitting a nerve overexposed by the economic crisis—shady bank dealings are not going to play out as well for Obama as, say, relationships with '60s bombers, radical reverends and Islamic financers (wait, why is it again that America doesn't care about those things?). It certainly sounds like a Hollywood plot, and the slick-as-oil Obama gets a starring role. Hopefully the next twist is which President in American history pardons Obama for his crimes—or doesn't.

If this criminal mess doesn't catch up with Obama, maybe this one will: "Clintons File RICO Suit Against Obama - ACORN Stole the Nomination Too!"—watch for developments.

What's In Your Left Hand, Mr. Obama?

Now You See It. Now You Don't.

There have been a few articles these last couple of days addressing Sen. Obama's uncanny ability to dazzle the audience with not one but, well, a lot of magic tricks. Look at this hand--over here--while I hide my past with the other. Look at this hand--over here--and voila, no taxes for any of you. "How is that possible you ask? I'm not sure, I'm reading the teleprompter, but quick--look over here." One article takes a lighthearted look at his bait and switch tactics and imaginary plans for the country. The other notes a serious issue: Obama is lying on the "Fight the Smears" section of his own website.

The Cleveland Leader has uncovered Obama's ACORN trail. Documents which were once publicly available on ACORN's site have now been removed. But don't worry, folks, the good old WWW has been squirreling away these juicy nuggets for prosperity, and our friendly investigative reporters got their hands on Obama's, well, ACORN nuggets. What they found was that while Obama tells visitors of his website's "Fight the Smears" section that he "was never an ACORN trainer and never worked for ACORN in any other capacity*," hidden articles--once publicly accessible--indicate otherwise.

Caption from photo (above): ACORN members meet with Illinois Senate candidate Barack Obama. Photo as printed in 2004 "Social Policy" article.

The Cleveland Leader says: "Is that really a FACT, or just another lie? Let's take a look at a quote from a 2004 article - Case Study: Chicago- The Barack Obama Campaign - written by Toni Foulkes, a Chicago ACORN Leader, which was published in the journal Social Policy. Did we mention that Social Policy recently pulled this particular article from their website, while leaving links to all other articles up?"

"Obama took the case, known as ACORN vs. Edgar (the name of the Republican governor at the time) and we won. Obama then went on to run a voter registration project with Project VOTE in 1992 that made it possible for Carol Moseley Braun to win the Senate that year. Project VOTE delivered 50,000 newly registered voters in that campaign (ACORN delivered about 5,000 of them).

Since then, we have invited Obama to our leadership training sessions to run the session on power every year, and, as a result, many of our newly developing leaders got to know him before he ever ran for office. Thus it was natural for many of us to be active volunteers in his first campaign for STate Senate and then his failed bid for U.S. Congress in 1996. By the time he ran for U.S. Senate, we were old friends."

Cleveland Leader goes on to note a March 2008 reference to the Obama-ACORN tie in the LA Times: "'At the time, Talbot worked at the social action group ACORN and initially considered Obama a competitor. But she became so impressed with his work that she invited him to help train her staff.' (LA Times, March 2, 2008)"

You read that right: Obama and ACORN and Project VOTE--they had a clear and definite tie. A tie which was documented in a case study written by an ACORN leader. Sorry to ruin the magic trick, ladies and gentlemen. If you're so inclined, do your own searching of the Way Back Machine at http://www.archive.org/index.php.

Mr. Obama has instructed us to check the facts on his website. But this is nothing more than another trick meant to amuse the masses. If you enjoyed the show, drop a dime or two in the bucket and thank Mr. Obama for the entertainment. But, America, it's time to grow up.

But wait, there's more! The Cleveland Leader published a follow-up to its first article after receiving information that the Obama Fact page had changed after "Barack Obama's Involement with ACORN Unearthed, Missing Article Recovered" article was published. The Obama site's new language is just another indication that his truth changes over time, read here. But how do you know when you can finally stop digging for it?

Barack Obama & Bill Ayers

McCain ad delivers the heat.

*** UPDATED 10/13/2008 ***

"Guilt by Participation" Ad from John McCain

**********

Will we see more from McCain now that we've scratched the surface? Let's hope this is just the beginning, but with under a month left can McCain make up for the failures of the media? If Americans can detach Mr. Obama from their visions of Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream," they may finally realize this isn't the same man -- and this isn't the same dream. Martin Luther King was opposed by Louis Farrakhan. Rev. Wright, Al Sharpton, Father Pflegler, Rev. Meeks -- they all have connections to Farrakhan. They share an ideaology that Martin Luther King opposed. Americans can see that Mr. Obama not only condoned Bill Ayers viewpoints, but he launched his political career sitting in the man's living room -- just another neighbor down the block. Mr. Obama would like America to believe he has the character of the man endeared in America's heart, but that is only a dream. Please wake up.

Read my previous post on the Weather Underground.

Yesterday Michelle Obama said this:

"I don't know anyone in Chicago who is heavily in education policy who doesn't know Bill Ayers," she said. "But again I go back to the point that, you know, the American people aren't asking these questions." --Michelle Obama, 10/8/2008

I beg to differ Mrs. Obama. I'm an American, and I want answers.

Food for thought: Michelle Obama wants to speak for all Americans. Here she is pictured with Janell Meeks (wife of Rev. Meeks, Obama's "spiritual counsel") and Khadijah Farrakhan (wife of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan). Does Louis Farrakhan's message speak for you?

What Does A Community Organizer Do?

Shape the presidency, of course.

This was the million-dollar question throughout the early part of the campaign: What does a community organizer do? Obama never really explained that clearly, and he denies that he worked for ACORN (although that "fact" changes by the minute--see my post here).

Just Another Blogger Stumping for McCain

About this blogger
I started this post with a lot to say, but there's just too much--should've started this blog a lot eariler. I'm not a right-wing, rabid Republican--although that seems to be the standard response from the left. I'm not proud to admit it, but I voted for Bill Clinton in 1992, as my head was filled with the propaganda spewed by my high school teachers--and union workers, one of which was in my household. Imagine my surprise to find my choice of president that year would result in making Monica Lewinsky a household name. Around the time of that election, I also learned a thing or two about unions and "scabs" and the scary world of forcing people to assimilate for the good of the masses. Bad workers cannot be fired. Good workers cannot move ahead. New workers cannot be hired. It's deadlock, and it's part of what's crippled the automotive companies. Socialism at work--making equality of inequality and inadequacy.

Suffice it to say that as I entered adulthood, my political views were in their infancy. Having skipped over that whole history thing in high school--or rather, having just barely picked up on the liberal view points but not really agreeing with them--I was a blank slate. And ready to vote? Bill Clinton was the choice--maybe the voice--of young people. He was on MTV after all. During my early 20s, I read Atlas Shrugged, I dealt with a tragic family death and had a child. I developed a new perspective on what it meant to be an American--an individual. As Thomas Sowell says, I grew up.

Who You Calling A Racist? "Say It Ain't So, Joe" or "Whatcha You Talkin' Bout Willis"? I like them both.
If you don't like Obama, you're automatically a racist -- it's the automatic response from liberals. Does devaluing such a powerful word really help those who oppose racism?

Liberals tout Obama's education but discount his obvious ignorance in choosing his associates. It creates an interesting paradox. His followers and suppoters have turned a blind eye to any of these connections. They have no answers and can't bare to believe -- this is not a good thing.

For the little I knew about this league of Obama fans on sites like Digg, more importantly, I knew less about the Black empowerment movement that has been occurring in America all of my life. In recently researching Obama's ties to hate-filled groups, I'm truly astonished at this simmering revolution. Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton -- all have ties to Obama. The groups promote racism, hatred of Whites, of Jews. They promote the idea that white people -- White America -- are their oppressors, the enemy, the single wall between them and power, freedom, wealth. I've traced that legacy back through some other famous names: Malcolm X, Black Panthers and even MLK -- but MLK was considered a sell out to the white man. Louis Farrakhan encouraged a hit on Malcolm X, which ultimately led to his murder. In battling their oppression, they battled anyone who didn't completely agree with them, and their intentions are to fight ... to kill ... to conquer. It's been a wake-up call.

Without the influence of Obama's connections I might never have known that leagues of my fellow Americans -- Black Americans and other groups -- have been indoctrinated with ideas that I am oppressing them and they should rise up against me and even kill me (Farrakhan says in the name of Allah). Farrakhan has repeatedly made hate-filled statements targeting Jews, Whites, America, lesbians, Hollywood. He has called Whites “blue-eyed devils” and the “anti-Christ.” He has described Jews as “bloodsuckers” who control the government, the media and some black organizations. (Newsmax.com, "Obama's Minister Honored Farrakhan," January 14, 2008)

The Obama liberals don't want to address any of these issues -- and, to them, racism only exists in the form of Republicans, those who question Barack Obama. They have no problem calling me a racist on a daily basis. But where are the answers?
