Suddenly, the presidential campaigns are addressing an issue that should have been at the forefront of this year’s election long ago. Call it “characters count.” We know people – especially public figures – by the company they keep. And we need to know much more about, to put it charitably, the characters that have figured prominently for years in Barack Obama’s life. Over the weekend, Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin brought the issue to the fore by observing caustically that the Democrats’ would-be commander-in-chief has “palled around with terrorists.” The Obama campaign immediately deployed talking points and a television...

It’s time for John McCain to fire his campaign. He has nothing to lose. His campaign is totally overmatched by Obama’s. The Obama team is well organized, flush with resources, and the candidate and the campaign are in sync. The McCain campaign, once merely problematic, is now close to being out-and-out dysfunctional. Its combination of strategic incoherence and operational incompetence has become toxic. If the race continues over the next three weeks to be a conventional one, McCain is doomed. He may be anyway. Bush is unpopular. The media is hostile. The financial meltdown has made things tougher. Maybe the...

Reuters C-SPAN Zogby Poll: Obama Widens Lead To 6 Points Over McCain October 12th, 2008 By JOE GANDELMAN, Editor-In-Chief A new Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll finds that Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama has widened his lead over Republican Sen. John McCain to six points which is outside the margin of error - -the latest in a series of polls showing McCain increasingly trailing the Illinois Senator: Democratic Party presidential nominee Barack Obama took a step into rarified air this morning, standing for the first time outside the statistical margin of error in a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby likely voter poll. The survey shows him...

I have confirmation from another Freeper that they will pay $300.00 and I will pay $33.00 as a bounty to the first person who provides me with an electronic copy of "Fugitive Days" for the purpose of analysis to determine if Obama's "memoirs" were ghost written by William Ayers. I will use the "signature" software to compare Obama's writings with Ayers for a complete analysis. The purpose of this is to build upon and extend the work of Mr. Jack Cashill.

Prior to 1990, when Barack Obama contracted to write Dreams From My Father, he had written very close to nothing. Then, five years later, this untested 33 year-old produced what Time Magazine has called -- with a straight face -- "the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician." The public is asked to believe Obama wrote Dreams From My Father on his own, almost as though he were some sort of literary idiot savant. I do not buy this canard for a minute, not at all. Writing is as much a craft as, say, golf. To put this in...

There's a lot of frustration among conservatives over how Barack Obama's radical past seems to be making no impact whatsoever among the American public. His connection to communists in particular, from communist-terrorists like Bill Ayers to the communist agitator-journalist Frank Marshall Davis to fellow travelers like Saul Alinsky, has simply failed to resonate beyond the political right. Quite the contrary, the more information that becomes available on Obama's radical associations, the more he seems to widen his lead over John McCain, a man who was tortured by communists in Vietnam. I understand these frustrations completely. I'm also not surprised. I...

Audio link : Radio Interview on 10/7/2008 between Jerome Corsi and Sean Hannity talking about the visit to Kenya and how he got out of Kenya with the documents (emails) between Odinga and Barack Hussein Obama. The emails are to be the source of his TV show on Monday evening but you know that Sean will hype it on Monday’s radio show. Here is the Youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x9VQ5_Iqzk

JERUSALEM – One of the main founders of the Weathermen terrorist organization is a signatory to an independent organization acting to ensure the election of Sen. Barack Obama, WND has learned. The group in question, Progressives for Obama, also includes among its ranks many former members of the 1960s radical organization Students for a Democratic Society, from which the Weathermen splintered, as well as current and former members of other radical organizations, such as the Communist Party USA and the Black Radical Congress. In its creed, first published in March in the Nation magazine, the Progressives for Obama founders state...

October 12, 2008 Many of us conservatives were not going to vote for you nor Obama, until you picked Gov. Palin as your running mate. Even Dr. James Dobson & Rush changed their mind and now are rooting for you! Many of us are working very hard to help you win, me personally have spent countless hours. We salute your military record and we understand your desire to be a gentleman in dealing with Sen. Obama, but this is a battle for the soul and future of America! Your unfortunate statement that,” No, Sen, Obama is a decent man whom...

From Freeper philly ray: Several things. It is alleged that Ed Hale, an avid Hillary supporter, has confirmed that he has in his possession a certified copy of a Kenyan birth certificate for Obama. This was reported by several posts I have read. Ed Hale's site and his radio station have been removed and it is stated that they were shut down for security reasons. Another posting I came across alleges that Phil Berg would neither confirm nor deny the report and that everything is being kept hushed for security reasons and that Phil Berg will not respond unitl he...

Someone is lying. According to Obama's Kenyan (paternal) grandmother, as well as his half-brother and half-sister, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya, not in Hawaii as the Democratic candidate for president claims. His grandmother bragged that her grandson is about to be President of the United States and is so proud because she was present DURING HIS BIRTH IN KENYA, in the delivery room. -This, according to several news sites and Pennsylvania attorney Philip J. Berg (see video below) who is, surprisingly, a life long democrat himself. Berg is the former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania, and he has...

Odinga and Morris lovefest, painful to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyprn8P8FaU

I will abandon this project unless I get some help. I need volunteers to commit to the project and give me their email address. I have had one Freeper donate money and several Freepers commit to help with non-monetary part only to flake out later. I asked Freepers for the following, but you people have only partially delivered. If someone has ghostwritten Obama's "memoirs" lets find out who. 1. Volunteer to find or type in Ayers book “Fugitive Days” into electronic form* 2. Money for basic analysis software- DONE(fellow freeper) 3. Obama’s “memoirs” translated into electronic form-Partially DONE(need to correct...

Sarah Palin sat down Friday night with Tribune-Review political reporter Salena Zito for a wide-ranging interview that covered the economy, education, energy and the Alaska governor's approach to governing. It was Palin's first face-to-face interview with a print reporter as Republican vice presidential candidate. John McCain's running mate was in Pittsburgh for a fundraiser at the Westin Convention Center Hotel, Downtown.

Most Americans wake every morning to news that Barack Obama will win next month's presidential election. Strategists even say the word "landslide" aloud. Every poll shows it, every pundit echoes it, and every analyst predicts it -- therefore it must be true, right? Let's take this political axiom to some of those who do the predicting, to project what America will look like under an Obama administration, governing with a Democrat congressional majority led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

sh.... Let me let y'all in on a little secret. Nothing pisses off the illegals and recent legal immigrants than when they have a relative that is here legally and he doesn't help his family out. Doesn't sign appications for green cards, etc.. no money... no help. If you want to really give the guy a suka punch, put out the ads with questions about how he doesn't have close ties to his extended family, why doesn't he help them out? How can he be so blessed in America and yet not try to assist his family to immigrate? Does...

While many in the media are accusing the McCain campaign of throwing everything they have at Barack Obama in the closing weeks of this presidential election cycle, other than Mark Hyman's Washington Times commentary today and World Net Daily's online coverage, little is being discussed about Obama's support of Kenya's tyrant Prime Minister Raila Odinga. This popular internet video at 6:26 in cites Obama's connection and support for Odinga. An edited version of this internet video exists here and an Obama/Odinga on the campaign trail is here. All 3 video embeds are at Eyeblast.tv. The Odinga association may be even...

Someone with the unlikely name of Molotov Mitchell has produced a 10 minute and 52 second video [watch it below] that could well change the terms of the election -- if enough people watch it. Illuminati Productions has posted it to YouTube. They have provided the voting public a very professionally and engagingly done video generation equivalent of a long detailed article in a place like American Thinker. It makes accessible to the general public some of the serious questions about Obama's citizenship status that have been vetted almost exclusively in the conservative web world. You can't get most voters...

The Republican Party on Monday morning will make a new push to convince voters that distant ties between Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and former radical William Ayers are somehow disqualifying for the presidency. The Republican National Committee plans to e-mail “an audience of tens of millions” the link to a new video on the subject called “Guilt by Participation” and encourage recipients to forward it to friends and family, aides said. “Barack Obama has no problem with forming relationships when politically convenient,” says the menacing narration, accompanied by brooding music. The title comes from a Wall Street Journal opinion piece...

Who is Vera Baker? Some people in Chicago claim she was Obama’s Finance Director for his 2004 Senate campaign. FEC Senate campaign records show she was paid a pretty penny as “Finance Director”. However, people familiar with Obama’s 2004 Senate campaign say Claire Serdiuk was Obama’s Finance Director. Looking through everything we can see online for that 2004 campaign, Claire Serdiuk is consistently listed as the Finance Director - because that’s what she was. There’s no mention of Vera Baker…but Vera Baker was paid as the “Finance Director” too. And then, suddenly, Vera Baker was relocated to New York. Right...
