So, it is now a personal attack to point out that Obama, on the record, has said that he was against the war, then that he doesn’t know how he would have voted had he been in the Senate in 2003, that his position in 2004 was “essentially the same as President Bush’s”, then when it didn’t look so great before it was clear the surge worked that he was “against this war from the beginning”? He can try to keep lying by denying that he has shifted his position, but it is there in his interviews while running for office.

Obama KNOWS who the vets will VOTE for and it will not be him.

We must ensure that Obama does not suppress the military overseas vote!

“If you took away everything from his personality and his speeches, his polies, and his “cool” that he stole from *OTHER PEOPLE*...There’d be nuthin much left.”

Actually I think there would be a huge personality deficit if you took all the other folk's stuff away.

THe big O. Zero. Nada. Niente. Uhn - Gatz.

Negative personality units.

I would challenge ObaHamas to cite one instance in which McCain attacked his patriotism ... ever.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it ...." Barak Obama Goebbels.

Sounds like you have some work to do! :-) I have one veteran friend who is still "walking toward the light," but I'm hopeful he'll come around by November.

“Let’s have a serious debate, and let’s debate our disagreements on the merits of policy - not personal attacks,” Obama said.”

Have you heard him say that about 5 or 6 subjects yet he keeps avoiding debates!

Obama tries too hard to tailor his message to the audience that after a few days all that is left has the firmness of jello...

If he was abandoned his church of twenty years for the sake of politics how long before he abandons his country?

Ask him not waste it on Obama but wait for Walter Williams or Thomas Sowell...

“””””Democrat Barack Obama used his appearance Tuesday at a Veterans of Foreign Wars convention to attack Republican John McCain’s critique of him to the group a day earlier - but got a cooler reception than did the Vietnam veteran running against him for president””””

When MSM starts using lead ins like the above, those words are not good for the Obama Camp. The words could be reduced to headlines:

OBAMA ATTACKS NAVY VETERAN MCCAIN.

OBAMA GETS COOL RECEPTION FROM VETERANS.

Remember this?

McCain accepted. “Anytime Anywhere” Barry ran and hid.

You forgot:

Senator Obama received a chilly reception during a recent speech at the VFW Post. The audience, mostly older, white and male seemed dour and unmoved by the senator’s inspiring words. Members of the audience remarked later about their reservations for the first black candidate for president. As everyone knows, older white men are always racists and hate young upstart black men because they are afraid they will date their daughters and leave them after they get them pregnant and hooked on meth anphetamins!

"... not personal attacks," Obama said.

I am sure George Bush's name will not come up in less than derogatory terms.

And, I will not question Hussein's patriotism for Venezuela, Cuba or the old Soviet Union.
