Answer 2

They are taking a page from Goebble's notebook: repeat a lie often enough and some will eventually come to believe it is true.

Answer 3

The Republicans are playing to their large constituency in middle america and the south, who are angry and suspicious of anything they consider foreign.

Answer 4

Lol.....desperation to save us from a marxist whacko that wants to make our society "fair".  Go to freaking college, go to work on time everyday and you will be treated "fair".  Stop whining that you do not have as nice of things as everyone else and do something about it!

Answer 5

Why are you still bringing up smears that people said months ago???

Obama is clearly unqualified and too unaccomplished politically to run the United States of America, to put it bluntly

Answer 6

There is nothing to be desperate about. All I hear is talk. Talk is cheep. Peace

Answer 7

I find those smears very annoying, because they are so irrelevant, and I'm a big McCain supporter. Please do not generalize.

Here are some real things about Obama;

Fact; Barack Obama has went to 'this' church for 23 years, which means, he was 23 years old when he started going their, pretty young. 'This' church supports racism, and is unforgiving of the long years ago, they also support the teachings of "James Cone", founder of "Black Liberation Theology" (look it up on Wikipedia). 'This' church also gave "Louis Farrakhan" an award for the "most truthful and honest". 'This' church is against it's OWN country. And Obama didn't even resign his membership after hearing any of this, in the first days of the church, of him just then, sitting in the seats of the church, sat there with eagerly enough to come back, and stay a member. He later was married in that church. Then baptized his children in that church. And calls the preacher of 'this' church his "friend", "mentor", and "uncle", and none of that has rubbed off on him, I guess for 23 long years, he sat there just disagreeing with it all?

Black Liberation Theology;

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."

Fact; While other people around him put their hands over their hearts, he has his in front of him during the national anthem.

Fact; McCain went to see our injured troops, Obama didn't, and when asked, he says that the pentagon wouldn't allow it, and then pentagon replies back that he is allowed.

Fact; Obama pays his female campaign staffers less than the male campaign staffers, pretty hippocritical coming from someone that supports equal pay.

Fact; Obama is pro-abortion, but he is also pro-partial-birth abortion. (opinion; him being pro-partial abortion is enough right there for me not to vote for him).

Fact; Obama's VP; Joe Biden, maybe experienced, but he has a voting record that shows he is "anti-family", "anti-buisness"; http://www.ontheissues.org/Joe_Biden.htm

Fact; Joe Biden, voted, and I quote "Voted NO on mandatory prison terms for crimes involving firearms. (May 1994)", "Voted YES on Bush Administration Energy Policy. (Jul 2003)".

Fact; He also (Joe Biden) "Voted YES on Bush Administration Energy Policy. (Jul 2003)", but contradicted that by "Accepts Catholic church view that life begins at conception. (Apr 2007)".

Fact; A vote against the Inhofe amendment was a vote against official English as our countries official language. Senator Obama voted against the Inhofe amendment in both 2006 and 2007.

A vote for the Salazar amendment was a vote for a different language being our countries official language. Senator Obama voted for the Salazar amendment.

Fact; Senatore Allerd, put all 111 economic policies of Obama, which Obama stood for, supported, and said would be good for America, the policies were put into a proposal, and was voted on. It was figured that Obama's own economic bill would cost taxpayers somewhere around 300 billion dollars. The proposal was voted down; 97 against, and 0 for. Yep, thats right, from 3 weeks ago, Obama praising his economic policies, and he now, voted against them.

Edit; Someone, atleast the people that thumbs downed me, tell me how these facts aren't true?

Answer 8

Obama's Kenyan birth father: In Islam, religion passes from the father to the child. Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. (1936–1982) was a Muslim who named his boy Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. Only Muslim children are named "Hussein".

Answer 9

When did McCain officially bring that up. I have not seen it.

Answer 10

I think that people who can't get over his name are very silly.  Lot's of African Americans have Arabic names because in reality many African's speak Arabic.  

Answer 11

"Smears"?.........You mean TRUTH!!
