AOL Straw Poll: June 27-July 4

Subj: FW: Post Turtle

While suturing a cut on the hand of a Texas Rancher whose hand had been caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually, the topic got around to Obama and his bid for the presidency.

The old rancher said, Well, ya know, Obama is a 'post turtle'.

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked, 'What is a post turtle'?

The old rancher said, When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'.

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain.

'You know he didn't get up there by himself, he sure as heck doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there and you just wonder what kind of an idiot put him there in the first place.'

I am a lifelong Republican and I have never voted for a Democrat for
president. This is about to change because I hate McCain! McCain was
in Vietnam for many years and his wife at that time faithfully waited
for him. Then when McCain returned, he left her and married Cindy
only
for the money. McCain was tortured for five years. I would not be
surprised if he were not totally sane after that. My Uncle Henry
fought in WWII and was never sane after that. McCain is known to have
a temper, when will he blow? Also McCain voted to overturn Roe v.
Wade. I may be a Republican but I am a pro choice woman. McCain is
against equal pay for woman. That is horrible!!!!!!
Yes, I do not like Reverand Wright. Obama did denounce him but McCain
denounced his reverand too. His Reverand John Hagee is worse than
Wright. This is what John Hagee has said on woman.

“Do you know the difference between a woman with PMS and a snarling
Doberman pinscher? The answer is lipstick. Do you know the difference
between a terrorist and a woman with PMS? You can negotiate with a
terrorist.” [God’s Profits: Faith, Fraud and the Republican
Crusade for Values Voters, Sarah Posner]
“[T]he feminist movement today is throwing off authority in
rebellion against God’s pattern for the family.” [”Bible
Positions on Political Issues,” John Hagee]


Isn't this the worst thing ever!!!!!!!!
Please do not vote for McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He will continue our failed economic policies and waste money on the
war. I was for it at first but now I do not like it.

Obama 08'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama's lead in the polls has changed.
Looks like McCain is going to be Pres.
Democrats for McCain!

A Democrat in a wheelchair entered a restaurant one afternoon and
asked
the waitress for a cup of coffee. The Democrat looked across the
restaurant and asked, 'Is that Jesus sitting over there?' The
waitress
nodded 'yes,'. As the Democrat was an unselfish caring person and a
TRUE Christian, he asked the waitress to give him a cup of coffee.

The next patron to come in was a Libertarian with a hunched back. He
shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down, and asked the waitress
for a
cup of hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, 'Is
that
Jesus over there?' The waitress nodded, so the Libertarian asked her
to
give Jesus a cup of hot tea, 'My treat.'

The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Republican on
crutches. He had broken his leg in a hunting accident.
He hobbled over to a booth, sat down and hollered, 'Hey there, honey!

How's about getting me a cold glass of Miller Light?' He, too, looked
across the
restaurant and asked, 'Is that God's boy over there?' The waitress
once
more nodded but the Republican pretended to be a true christian.
Since he hunted, he was lying to himself. He asked the waitress to
give Jesus a deer head he had got from hunting.
'On my bill,' he said.

As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Democrat, touched him and
said, 'For your kindness and caring about others, you are healed.'
The Democrat felt the
strength come back into his legs, got up, and danced a jig out the
door.

Jesus also passed by the Libertarian, touched him and said, 'For your
kindness, you are healed.' The Libertarian felt his back
straightening up,
and he raised his hands, praised the Lord and did a series of back
flips
out the door.

Then Jesus walked towards the Republican and tapped him. The arms of
the Republican broke. "Why?" he asked.

"You claim to be a Christian but you are not," Jesus said. "True
Christians never kill unless they have to. Those who kill for fun
will never go to heaven. Hate is not a family value."
