Why haven’t the source of Obama’s Money been traced. We know the 9/11 highjackers were funded by Saddam Hussein. The Question must be asked where to Barrack Hussein Obama get his money, likely from terrorists who think they can plant a sleeper cell muslim as president of the USA. GOD BLESS AMERICA. GOD DO NOT LET THIS MAN BECOME PRESIDENT!!!! Listen to the Sean hannity show …wake up peeps!!!!

In most places where the New Party was active (like Missoula MT) the name become a negative for people endorsed by the New Party. The New Party name went away but morphed into a new name, same people in places like Montana.

The New Party is worse than mainstream,they are boring and illogical. Their total approach to politics is to support major party candidates while claiming we need a “new party.”

They claim Chicago Congressman Danny Davis as a member – a “New Party Democrat” and he voted for the bipartisan bailout for bankers & billionaires. So I guess they do have socialist tendencies, just like Bush and McCain and other Bail-out supporters.

Anyone calling the New Party/Working Families Party “Marxist” is either brainless or lying. It is mostly the latter…

With the conomy is collapsing, anything “leftist” taht can stick to the centrist Obama, can only help him. McCain and the GOP are a dead issue. The real problem is going to be keep the Democratic leadership in Congress from kowtowing to their corporate paymasters, and continue to prop up the sham of ponzi scheme, Reagan/Thatcher, capitalism.

Today’s news is that the McCain campaign is trying to link Obama to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), a well established organization which I believe to be measurably to the left of NP/WFP, although still not especially radical.

ACORN has been in the news because of allegations that its voter registration drives have included names of people who were ineligible or did not exist. While Republicans have been trying to build this into a major voter fraud scandal, in fact all registration drives end up with a few invalid signatures. ACORN claims that it has cooperated with authorities to facilitate the prosecution of volunteers who ACORN itself thinks acted improperly.

If this mud sticks on Obama, it’s a double whammy. McCain’s operatives get a leftist (from where they sit, anyway) connection and an election fraud connection in one package.

I know I can get of topic, onto broader ideological themes, but all this trolling and spamming by the McCain supporters is really out of line. I oppose censorship, but I don’t realy like seeing things hijacked either.

On the other hand, if all these spurious rumors were shown to be constitutionally true, abt both McCain and Obama, and they were both excluded from the Nov ballot, that would make the race a great deal more interesting, as far as who the remaining candidates would be.

I do think that when the Right loses this election, we will see a resurgence of the most extreme Rightist groups.

Rj, it was your precious Democratic Party that gave Bush and the Republicans nearly everything that they wanted for eight years. Thanks to your pal Obama for giving Bush a blank check for $700 billion, BTW.

When the GOP held its convention after the filing deadlines in nine states, Democrats in every one of these states helped the Republicans change the law so that Bush could get on the ballot. They will help Bush get on the ballot, but try to keep Nader and the Greens off. Shows you who their real enemies are.

Funny to see hostile people trawling the web for any mention of the Obama to spam randomly. Richard’s factual post about the WFP (which anyone with NY political experience will know is 100% correct) is met with a bunch of quasi-factual gurglings on adoption.
The racist right is revealing itself in an apoplectic spasm.

This is ballot-access.org one way to enforce equal ballot access at least on election day is to walk into your precinct sign the papers enter the booth and then take your ever loving sweet time to vote…. Take all day. Take from early morning untill they shut down. Hey if you can’t take all day then take an hour or so. Slow the process down.
