Great job! If voters could see quickly (on one page) ALL the reasons electing Obama would be an outrage to human reason, they would buy a used car from this man!

COPIED BELOW is the text only of a flyer I did to sum up the case VS Obama on 1 pg. The reverse side (not included) is the case FOR John McCain. They have effective visuals too. I deliberately used neutral or liberal news sources so they wouldn&#039;t be dismissed out of hand by independent voters. If you give me an email address, I can send both pages to you as pdf files. Please use if it helps. My email is above. I&#039;m just a lowly volunteer but decided to do my own flyers since I&#039;ve had a lot of luck with this in a blue state (CT). Also if you think I should send this elsewhere, supply addresses and will do. Regards, Ellen (SEE TEXT BELOW):

WAKE UP AMERICA!
CONNECT THE DOTS BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. WHEN ELECTING A WARTIME PRESIDENT,
SHOULDN&#039;T WE CONDUCT A THOROUGH BACKGROUND CHECK?
Has Barack Hussein Obama ever disproved his heavily-documented ties to
radical Islam, political corruption and socialism? See our proof at end.

. WILLIAM AYERS, Obama’s Hyde Park neighbor, was a Weather Underground terrorist who bombed the Capitol, the Pentagon and a judge&#039;s home to perpetrate violent overthrow of the U.S. government (“Guilty as sin, free as a bird, what a country!”). Ayers told the New York Times on 9/11/01 that he didn’t regret bombing his own country, and described education as “the motorforce of revolution” in a 2006 speech to Hugo Chavez and the World Education Forum. He ended by proclaiming, “Viva la Revolution Bolivariana,” an accolade to Bolivia’s Communist Dictator and promoter of coca (cocaine) farming, Juan Morales. Ayers hosted a 1995 fundraiser in his home to launch Obama’s senatorial campaign. From 1995-1999 Obama chaired Ayers’ Chicago Annenberg Challenge multimillion-dollar educational nonprofit to “radicalize” Chicago students and teachers. In order to receive funding, schools had to partner with outside organizations which received and disbursed the money. ACORN was one of these partner/beneficiaries. In a videotape the L.A. Times refuses to release, Ayers is seen with Obama at a 2003 farewell dinner for anti-Israel, anti-American PLO spokesman Rashid Khalidi — during which anti-Israel speeches were made. Ayers and Obama made grants to Khalidi’s Arab American Action Network through their Woods Fund. Khalidi, once a University of Chicago Professor, now teaches at Columbia University. His guest lectures liken Israel’s Gaza Strip and West Bank to Nazi-occupied territories.

. ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is currently under investigation for voter fraud in 12 states, including crucial swing states. ACORN operatives have submitted hundreds of thousands, likely millions, of false voter registrations [e.g., multiple submissions of dead, invented (“Mickey Mouse” in Florida) or incarcerated voters]. The Obama campaign donated $832,000 to ACORN’s voter registration drive, and they have endorsed him for President. ACORN is also responsible for forcing billions of dollars in unsustainable mortgages onto indigent poor. As ACORN’s lawyer, Obama filed class action suits against Citibank, among others, to compel it to make risky loans to people who couldn’t afford them.

. FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC, bankrupt federal home mortgage lenders, spent millions of tax dollars to suppress federal regulators: #1 Recipient of their hush money: Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd, head of the Senate Banking Committee; #2 Recipient: Barack Obama! Now we own these bad mortgages, thanks to President Bush and the U.S. Congress. Franklin Raines, Obama’s Economic Advisor, was forced to resign as CEO of Fannie and Freddie after government prosecutors determined he had cooked the books. He was still allowed to keep a $190-million golden parachute.

. REV JEREMIAH WRIGHT and his black liberation theology church (“God Damn America”) married Barack and Michelle Obama and baptised their daughters. The Obamas were close friends and 20-year members of Wright’s congregation. Early this year Wright honored the race-baiting militant Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan with his church’s Lifetime Achievement award. Farrakhan, also a Hyde Park neighbor of the Obama and Ayers families, has called Jews “bloodsuckers,” whites “blue-eyed devils,” and Barack Obama “The Messiah,” endorsing him for President.

. RAILA ODINGA, Barack Hussein Obama’s paternal cousin, is a radical Islamist and socialist in Kenya (his eldest son is named Fidel). Obama actively supported and campaigned for Odinga — whose website slogan is “Your Agent for Change” — making a trip there in 2006 on taxpayer dollars. When Odinga, who wanted to impose Muslim sharia law, lost his second bid for president last December, his machete-wielding supporters set fire to several Christian churches, burning alive men, women and young children who sought refuge inside.

. TONY REZKO is a Syrian-American slumlord, whose victims were among Chicago’s poorest residents. Now in prison for influence-peddling to city officials and firms wanting to do business with government entities, Rezko has been a longtime Obama fundraiser and campaign contributor. He invited Obama to join his low-income housing development company while Obama was still in law school. Rezko’s wife, Rita, and the Obamas both closed on adjacent properties sold by the same owner on the same day. The Rezkos paid full price for a vacant lot, while the Obamas paid $300,000 under asking price for their home. The Obamas then turned around and paid the Rezkos $104,500 for a small parcel of the Rezko lot — which had been assessed at only $40,500.

. ILLEGAL TERRORIST AND FOREIGN CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTORS are among the questionable sources of funding Obama refuses to disclose. He took, for example, $33,000 from Palestinian Jihadist brothers Osama, Hossam and Edwin Monir. Others are unidentifiable due to registrations under nonsense names like “Good Will,” employed by Loving You. “Doodad Pro,” who works for EDGFDGF, donated a total of $10,780 in 1,044 small transactions.

		<description>&quot;...the very best argument against Barack Hussein Obama is, instead,  the mountain of all his flaccid arguments, freshman gaffes and downright foolhardy statements… all his naive, dangerous, evil and just plain wrong policy positions put together.&quot;

I&#039;d like to second this notion.

And you&#039;re quite right. Today we&#039;ve seen featured two amazing stories - a (major?) credit card scandal for the Obama campaign, and the mutilation of a woman in Pittsburgh because of her McCain bumpersticker - either of which would have brought down other campaigns (assuming either is even partly true).  But I doubt that these will appear in the MSM.  They are already being dismissed.

The dismissal seems effective because we no longer hear the drum beating.  We no longer smell the odor.

But you know, I don&#039;t know any moderates or conservatives who think the race is actually over. They don&#039;t believe the reports or the polls any more than I do.  The credibility of CBS, NBC, ABC, NPR - all of them - is gone.  The suspicion is that they won&#039;t ever be seen as credible again.</description>

		<description>30 years ago I attended a college associated with a denomination (RPCNA) that had previously practiced disengagement from all governmental participation.  Such prohibitions had officially been removed for 10 years by the time I came into contact with them, but for many the old habits were hard to break.  Here was still an undercurrent of distrust or reservation regarding any involvement with the government.  What they were coming to grips with is the truth that &quot;in the world, but not of the world&quot; does not mean &quot;removed from the world&quot;.</description>

		<description>Hey,

There is more value in your blog than just changing hearts and minds.  Many believers without your God given talents (like myself), are blessed by your prose and you insight.  Consider that when you are making your decisions...  

Its sortof like that old saying, you can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink.  

And...after all God does the circumcision. 

In Christ because outside of Him there is no hope...
