Yesterday, I detailed the unfortunate doings in North Carolina's Senate race between incumbent, Elizabeth Dole, and challenger, Kay Hagan. In that piece, I pointed out how, by using a phony voice-over to deceive voters into thinking Hagan did not believe in God, Dole was giving Hagan a golden opportunity to make a forceful rebuttal. Well, here it is:
This is such a strong counter-punch that it very well may win the election for Hagan. Dole screwed up big time, and now faces the prospect of retirement as well as a lawsuit for defamation. And what's the consequence for Christians who knowingly break the Ninth Commandment? Yikes. Note to future candidates, politics and religion may prove combustible when mixed.
I live in Charlotte, NC and I voted for Kay Hagan. The sad fact is this. Elizabeth Dole was elected to fill the vacated seat of Jesse Helms in North Carolina. I, for one, was hoping that the era of the "Jesse Helms Doctrine" of the DIRTIEST Campaign tactics, SMEARS and outright LIES was over. It looks as though, Ms. Dole not only inherited the Senate seat, but she also inherited the "Jesse Helms Doctrine" of "Bearing False Witness to THY Neighbor", being OK as long as it benefited the PARTY. I for one can't wait to see Looney Liddy OUT on November 4 and will be there "front and center" to help usher her out of her office. Come on November 4 Obama/Biden '08

Go ahead and vote for the Democratic candidate and reward the party for giving us this housing and economic crisis. In their quest for more votes, the Dems force banks to give loans to poor people who can't pay them back. This was signed by none other than Bill Clinton and was enforced partly by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and many others. The Republicans never had enough of a majority to do anything about it though they tried. Now the Democrats get rewarded for bigger leads in Congress and perhaps the presidency? With citizens this stupid, I guess America gets what it deserves.

Poor, WEARY, BITTER BETH....you have been dupped by your own Party....it's clear that EVERYONE is to blame for the economic mess we're in, but I have to say that 12 years of Republican Rule in Congress and the Senate gave you NEOS all the power to "stop" the mess, yet you didn't. The reality is you guys were right there to ensure that there was NO REGULATION and had YOUR hand out just like everyone else. This is a NATIONAL DISGRACE....don't try to blame the DEMS alone. After all, Rick Davis, Forrest "Grump's" own Campaign manager didn't seem to mind the "benefits" from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, some $2 million to his lobbying firm to keep REGULATIONS at bay. Those regulations would have corrected the problem. Alas, another in a long line of "Goose-steppers" who have the LIES and NOT the FACTS. I hear that familiar "cha-ching" in Obama's BANK Come on November 4 Obama/Biden '08

HEY MISTY...funny how Forrest "Grumps" and Caribou Barbie's ASSOCIATIONS don't seem to bother you NEOS. Just like Elizabeth Dole, you "Spiritual Neanderthals" think breaking the LAW and BIBLICAL LAW is ok as long as "it's for the good of the agenda and the Party", right? Back to Moosestank, AK and "evolve" another 50 years or so. You're NOT fully cooked yet. Come on November 4 Obama/Biden '08

There is more than enough blame to go around in all parties.

Sad and pathetic are the only words to describe Elizabeth Dole's ad. It's such a shame to see a leader supposedly with integrity and above partisanship hit this new low. And yet, she seems to have a good mentor in John McCain in that department.

CRUNCH TIME FOR THE JEWISH COMMUNITY
The 2008 Presidential election is a just four days away, and the time for blind advocacy is over. A recently discovered video places Barack Obama at a dinner, toasting former PLO leader, Rashid Khalidi. Under Yasser Arafat, the PLO pushed for the destruction of Israel. Jews have a choice, stand with the Democrats or stand with Israel.
Jews suffered for more than two millennia to have a land of their own.
Iranian leaders hate Israel and want to destroy it.
Iran has possibly 4,000 centrifuges in operation, developing nuclear fuel.
If Iranian loonies launch a “present” at Tel Aviv, it will be the Final Exodus.
The United States is the only country on the planet with the will and the means to protect Israel.
Finally, and most important, ‘‘I will stand with them (Muslims) should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.’’ Quote by Barack Obama: From Audacity of Hope. p 261
Jews must make a choice, there is no voting “present.”

WE NEED TO REPLACE ALL DO-NOTHING DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS! OBAMA, BIDEN, PELOSI, REID, DEAN, KENNEDY AND KERRY WILL DESTROY AMERICA!
Obama and Ayers worked EXTREMELY close together on several projects and for Obama to say Ayers is just someone in his neighborhood is an outright LIE.
Ayers dedicated one of his books to Sirhan Sirhan --- the man who assassinated Robert Kennedy.
THIS IS CLEARLY PART OF OBAMA'S MASTER PLAN.
OBVIOUSLY HE STILL HEADS ACORN. OBVIOUSLY THEY PLAN TO TAKE OVER AMERICA THROUGH SHEER FORCE OF REGISTERING PEOPLE TO VOTE. ACORN WILL NOT BE PUT DOWN THIS EASILY!
1. Obama paid over $800,000 to ACORN --- for "get out the vote" --- and tried to hide the donation in a company shell game.
2. ACORN is currently engaged in unprecedented massive, nationwide voter registration fraud and voter fraud. During the primaries, “dead” people voted! Will this be straightened out before November 4? Probably not --- because our elected officials are doing nothing about it!
3. ACORN is officially endorsing Obama for President.
4. Election is OFFICIALLY GUARANTEED to be a Stalinist-style rigged sham due to Obama-ACORN fraud scheme.
Well I know Dole wont get the under 21 drinking crowd

Thank you JVZACCARO, oh professor of Jewology, for telling me how I should express my religon's beliefs and care for my people's fate. The Saddest thing about this Dole/Hayden event is that somehow a person's choice to believe in God or not is relevant to the discussion.

You are a giant turd, JV. One of the largest in the universe. Your stupid idiotic fear-mongering is both racist and beneath contempt. It has been well-established by the literate among us (obviously not including you & your miniscule brain) that the quote to which you refer was a reference to the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. Obama stated that if the same kind of racist fear-mongering ever occurred in our nation against Islamic-Americans, he would stand with them. Any right-thinking person would. Again, you are a giant turd. Repent from your sin of bearing false witness and believe the Gospel. There is still hope for your salvation, you judgmental twerp.

Before you believe everything the MSM says read the front page of the "Investor's Business Daily" October 30, 2008. It has a time line on why the mortgage crisis happened. GOOD READ!!!
Does it anyone else think it's strange that Paulson worked for Goldman Saks, the guy under him worked there, and over $700,000 has been given to Obama by their employees? They also avoided the mortgage crisis.

Stephen, I try to meet these idiots where they are, using language (usually monosyllabic) that they can understand. If an atheist supported McCain, I would similarly batter them.

Found out this morning that the polls in some states were deliberately skewed in favor of Obama to discourage McCain voters. All I can say is that the handful of billionaires and major corporations (Soros & GE), who have dumped hundreds of millions into getting Obama elected are going to be shocked that John McCain is the next President of the United States and Sarah Palin will be there as his great Vice President. Together they will pull us out of the ditch and we will have brighter days ahead. Vote McCain/Palin 2008!

ELIZABETH DOLE HAS SERVED OUR COUNTRY FOR MANY YEARS. I HAVE ALREADY VOTED FOR HER.
WILL OBAMA’S ACORN ORGANIZATION DETERMINE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT VIA VOTER FRAUD? THAT’S HOW HE BEAT HILLARY DURING THE PRIMARIES!
BILL AYERS (AND HIS WIFE) DEDICATED ONE OF THEIR BOOKS TO SIRHAN SIRHAN --- THE MAN WHO ASSASSINATED SENATOR ROBERT F. KENNEDY.
WHAT DO ROBERT, JR., TEDDY AND CAROLINE THINK OF OBAMA'S ASSOCIATIONS WITH TERRORISTS AND RADICAL ANTI-AMERICANS --- AYERS, ACORN, KHALIDI, REZKO, FARRAKHAN, WRIGHT, PFLEGER, ETC.?
REMEMBER --- JEREMIAH WRIGHT ("GOD DAMN AMERICA") SAID OBAMA WILL SAY ANYTHING TO GET WHAT HE WANTS!
I VOTED FOR THE HONORABLE JOHN McCAIN. HE HAS SPENT HIS ADULT LIFE SERVING OUR COUNTRY.
STOP THE DRAMA - NO OBAMA!
USE YOUR BRAIN - VOTE McCAIN!
OBAMA HAS SPENT HIS TIME IN THE SENATE "RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT"! Obama's Job Pays Him While Not Working. He Must Think All Jobs Work That Way. THE NON-WORKING DEADBEATS WILL RECEIVE A REFUND. THE HARD-WORKING TAXPAYERS WILL HAVE A TAX INCREASE!
WE NEED TO REPLACE DO-NOTHING DEMS IN CONGRESS (PELOSI, REID, KERRY, DEAN, ETC.)
