Polls give Obama a wider lead
Philippines News.Net Tuesday 2nd September, 2008
US Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has widened his lead over Republican hopeful John McCain in the recent two national polls.
After the Democratic National Convention held in Denver, Colorado, in late August, the Illinois senator led McCain by seven percentage points among registered voters, at 50 percent to 43 percent, according to the poll released Monday by daily USA Today.
A previous poll taken by the newspaper in mid-August showed that Obama only had four-point lead.
Another poll released by CBS on Monday gave Obama nine-point lead over the Senator McCain.
The CBS poll conducted for two days in late August also found that 71 percent of those surveyed said they were watching Obama's acceptance speech Thursday night in the INVESCO stadium where about 84,000 people were present.
The poll also showed that 37 percent of independent voters favoured Obama, while 43 percent supported McCain, who used to have 12-point lead among the group.
Women voters also gave Obama 14-point lead over McCain, it added.
However, a CNN poll released Sunday showed the tied race between two presidential hopefuls with Obama at 49 percent and McCain at 48 percent. Email this story to a friend

to Anonymous who thinks everyone who speaks spanish is an illegal alien
I got a word or two for you:
Do you think that there aren’t any illegal Americans in other countries? Those who are staying for more than what they are allowed to do so?
it’s not only the mexicans who rape, murder... NEWS FLASH: a US marine soldier who was in the Philippines for military exercises was charged and found GUILTY for raping an 18 year old student. He and his co-marines took the tipsy girl from a bar, took her into their van and raped her in the van repeatedly, after which they threw her into the street, dizzy and humiliated. Do you want me to name that US Marine soldier? - not necessary. So who are you to say that only Mexicans are doing such crimes? even your own can do those.

Everyone has heard
If you vote for McCain, you will get Four more years of Bush. John McCain is a good guy a veteran fighter pilot and POW, nothing more and nothing less. Being a fighter pilot and a POW does not qualify him to be President of the USA. Obama is young and does not have a lot of experience, but he does have brains. Just sit down and listen to both candiates and it should not take you long to figure out that McCain really does not know what he is doing or saying. Picking his VP, Palin, was a joke. She is not qualified to be VP and more importantly has to much baggage and know one knows her. He should have picked Mitt Romney, hecause he seems to be honest, has brains, can give good speaches and when someone ask’s a question, he gives a good intelligent answer. McCain’s pick for VP, was not smart and he blew his chance, again, he has no brains. That shows you how McCain thinks and he had a lot of Republican opportunities to pick from, but he failed. Obama, is smart picking-up Joe Biden, because he knows he needs someone like Biden, to off-set his lack of experience, but at lest he used his brain and picked an excellent VP. McCain, blew his chance picing Gov-Pilan. So, I predict that Obama will win the election by +10 ponts and deligates by 50-100. Good luck! to you all when you vote for you party.

Real;100427: What Was McCAIN Thinking When He Said Let Me Choose This Criminal Who Can’t Control Her Own Hosehold As My Vice President Was It Just Because She’s A Female There Are More Qualified Women Out There Than Her Poor Decision In My Opinion
I believe you may have found the limit.
Exactly how is the McCain VP APPOINTMENT A CRIMINAL?
Do you have kids?
Is it up to a parent to control all aspects of a child’s behavior?
At what age do children begin to make their own good/bad choices AND HOW DOES THAT REALLY REFLECT UPON A PARENT?
Sorry but a 17 year old girl getting knocked up is not the end of the world nor is it a factor in this election.
Further this lady has already begun battling corruption fraud waste and abuse in her own state!
She is an excellent choice since she is NOT a Washington insider beholden to a lobbyist group or special interest group.
As far as more qualified women who is more qualified?
And damn is she a hotty!
She appears to be a real Conservative, limited government, fiscal responsibility and average Joe to boot!
Lets look at Obama for just one second.
No experience a very light resume.
Beholden to special interest groups Chicago mob money, Foreign lobbies and local Tony Rezko.
He accepted a land deal and paid a little over 100k for land previously bought for over 600k from the Rezkos.
He has people like Rev. Wright and known terrorists in his life.
This guy is a complete loser.
Won’t answer any question and should be going to jail for graft.
Duke Cunningham went to jail for less.

McCain judgement
People you need to open your eyes up, McCain choose his VP without thinking about his nation, if something would happen to him,how would she react if had to make a decision about an emergency matter? Palin, said she is a person that want to be running things in the White House, so she mean she really want to make decision in her position, because that is what she is use to doing, being in charge. She really talk like she is a person that throw her weight around to accomplish what she want no matter what. The little town she’s talking about is so small that everyone know each other and I believe that is the only country town would choose her beside McCain, he does not know much about her. Lets look at how Obama went about choosing his VP, okey he formed a committe of very high quality. thats the difference in a person that is concerned about his country and a very smart college grad a person that is ready to run the country, a person that think about what need to do for this country.

McCain should just collect his Social Security check
This country is so full of ignorance that they rather suffer 4 more years than to see Obama as our next president. McCain not only seems lost when he gives his speech but tired, and weak. Obama might not have the experince which seems to be the main topic, but is funny that a man that dosen’t have much experience to be our next president makes more sense when giving his speech, knows what he talking about, and is full of energy than the one who does have experience. McCain doesn’t even have strengh to pick up the Mic when delivering a speech. Even Laura Bush at the RNC seemed unenthusiastic. Many Republicans are backing McCain because of loyalty to there parties knowing in there hearts that McCain is not a good canadiate. Ms. Palin is another story she has a four month old baby allegedly, with a grand child on the way. She is under investigation. Yes, i understand that one thing doesn’t have to do with the other but my concern is how can she possibly concentrate in America when she haves all these issue to worry about. At the DNC the energy was tolly different that the one giving on Monday at the RNC. And it was because of the hurricane Gustav. And let it be known that the ONLY reason that McCain and Bush were concern on the hurricane was because of Obama’s speech regarding the Katrina. I think that Obama would make an excellent president not only is it a change but is an example for many of us that come from poverty, single parents that with hard work anything is possible. Many of us can relate to Obama he came from an average home, his mom was even on food stamps. Obama knows what struggle means he was born with a silver spoon or with a nanny. Obama is the American Dream.

There called illegal aliens for a reason!
They have broken at least one of many laws and invaded a country without invitation.
Many of them are seasoned career criminals can you vouch for the intnt of all of them?
They broke on law why stop there?
Some countries will execute you for such a move!
Some countries like Mexico rob, rap, and murder unwelcome visitors.
So yes I denounce an entire group of people for breaking laws in a country they don’t belong in nor have any rights in.
Further for their own protection as much as those of legal citizens either through birth or going about it the correct way the laws need to be enforced!
People such as yourself need a swift kick in the ass for being so obtuse.
Amnesty programs only further encourage this behavior and should never ever be allowed!

Look in The Mirror (Racist) & Face The Truth
Grow up! So what he smoked, Palin admitted to smoking too. You are a racist which is very sick and out of touch with reality. You hate people because of their skin color, what does color has to do with a person’s ability to lead, make good judgement, and get our country economy back on track. Face the facts Dumbo, it was someone who looks like you that brought our country to this ecomonical disaster in the first place.

Mccain has two wives and has cheated on both wives. there are clear proofs. Obama has one wife in the course of 19 years and has no history (not even rumors) of him cheating on michelle. look how he treats michelle, body language could never lie. Mccain, on the other hand leaves Cindy to walk down the stairs by herself, not even holding her hand during a countless ceremonies. Guys, it starts from the family. Barrack may have “hussein” as a middle name (which is not his fault in the first place) but he has deep moral values about families. Ill vote for Obama

Larry Sinclair filed suit in Minnesota District Court on Monday against Barack Obama, along with Obamaâs campaign strategist David Axelrod and others, regarding issues stemming from Sinclairâs allegations that he used cocaine and performed a sexual act with Obama in 1999. Abbreviated excerpt:
This action is brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1981, 18 U.S.C. 241 and the First Amendment of the United States Constitutionâs right to Freedom of Speech. Defendants have and continue to conspire against the rights of citizens in that they are actively engaged in ongoing Internet intimidation, claim to be conducting illegal investigations into plaintiffâs personal life, actively involved in preventing allegations of illegal drug use and sexual activity involving Defendant Obama from becoming public knowledge.
Plaintiff states that he personally engaged in sexual activity and personally used illegal drugs in November 1999 with U.S. Senator Barack Obama on two separate occasions. Plaintiff states that he attempted to contact defendant Obama in the fall of 2007 to advise defendant Obama to make his 1999 use of illegal drugs public himself and that if he did not do so then plaintiff would have no choice but to come forward as defendantsâ actions were relevant to his running for President of the United States. Defendant Obama ignored plaintiffs attempts to allow defendant Obama to reveal this information on his own.
What about possible murder to cover up Homosexual activity?
Three Members of Obamaâs Church Killed
Investigator close to case believes thereâs more to the brutal murders than mainstream press is letting on
Three Members of Obamaâs Church Killed
Investigator close to case believes thereâs more to the brutal murders than mainstream press is letting on
By Victor Thorn
Is a Barack Obama bombshell lurking in the shadows, waiting to derail one of the biggest Cinderella stories in recent history?
While most political prognosticators in the mainstream press presume that Obama is the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, they still wonder aloud if Hillary Clinton (or some other entity) has something up their sleeve.
The bombshell may involve the murder of Donald Young, a 47-year-old choir master at former Rev. Jeremiah Wrightâs Trinity United Church of Christâthe same congregation that Obama has attended for the past 20 years. Two other young black men that attended the same churchâLarry Bland and Nate Spencerâwere also murdered execution style with bullets to the backs of their headsâall within 40 days of each other, beginning in November 2007. All three were openly homosexual.
What links this story to Barack Obama is that, according to an acquaintance of Obama, Larry Sinclair, Obama is a closet bisexual with whom he had sexual and drug-related encounters in November 1999.
Further, Sinclair claims that Obama was friendly with at least two of these deceased parishioners, and that choir director Donald had contacted him shortly before being murdered from multiple gunshot wounds on December 23, 2007.
Hard to believe this is not even a blip on the mainstream news sites even if he is completely and utterly innocent.
Either way Obama is not as clean as some would have us believe.
