JERUSALEM – Evidence has emerged that Sen. Barack Obama belonged to a socialist political party that sought to elect members to public office with the aim of moving the Democratic Party far leftward to ultimately form a new political party with a socialist agenda. Several blogs, including Powerline, previously documented that while running for the Illinois state Senate in 1996 as a Democrat, Obama actively sought and received the endorsement of the socialist-oriented New Party, with some blogs claiming Obama was a member of the controversial party. The New Party, formed by members of the Democratic Socialists for America and...

It's great to be here in Miami. Florida is a must-win state on November 4th, and with your help, we're going to win Florida, and bring change to Washington, DC. We had a good debate this week. You may have noticed-- there was a lot of talk about Senator Obama's tax increases and Joe the Plumber. Last weekend, Senator Obama showed up in Joe's driveway to ask for his vote, and Joe asked Senator Obama a tough question. I'm glad he did; I think Senator Obama could use a few more tough questions.

I believe this strategy should be immediately implemented that the media wont be able to ignore. A lawsuit should be filed in every state challenging obama’s name on the ballot. The lawsuit should seek specifically that the office of Secretary of State did not properly verify and certify that Mr. Obama is or is not a "natural born" citizen by producing original or certified verifiable official documents. This lawsuit should argue that this certification should take place before the election to preclude a constitutional crisis and likely civil unrest should such certification, after the election, prove that Mr. Obama was...

(AgapePress) - A Virginia man has allegedly been fired from his job for supporting a state ballot initiative defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Luis Padilla was reportedly terminated from his employment at a Cargill Foods plant in Harrisonburg because of a written message on the rear window of his pickup truck that read: "Please, vote for marriage on Nov. 7."

How Election 2004 is Shaping Up March 25, 2004 by Bruce Walker Both parties now have their presidential nominees, and in many cases, both parties now have their nominees for congressional elections as well. The mantra of pundits from both parties is that "a lot can change between now and November." I submit, probably not. President Bush mow has a lead between two points to eight points in every poll during the last two weeks, and some of those polls do not include Ralph Nader as a candidate. Notably also, these polls show results extremely close to what polls showed...

Q. Both Menendez brothers got married in prison, and I read that accused murderer Scott Peterson is inundated with love letters and proposals. Why do these guys appeal to women? —Dave Sears, Bloomington, Ind. A. “For certain very upright, conservative women, convicts appeal to their forbidden sexual fantasies,” says Michael Crocker, a psychotherapist who specializes in sexual disorders. “We call such women ‘love avoidants,’ because their fantasy of an inaccessible man is more appealing than the reality of an actual relationship with an available partner.” In layman’s terms: Some women just don’t like to have their man around the house.
