(2008-10-22) — Sen. John McCain today shocked reporters aboard the ‘Straight Talk Express’ by backing former Secretary of State Colin Powell’s recent endorsement of his presidential rival, Barack Obama.
In a move a McCain aide called, “self-sacrificial, but the best long-term strategy for Republican dominance,” the Arizona senator said he decided to join his fellow Republican in supporting the liberal Democrat for the same reason Mr. Powell did — because Sen. Obama is pro-choice.
“If you can’t beat ‘em, help ‘em beat themselves,” said Sen. McCain. “Obama’s eager support of abortion, up to and beyond the moment of birth, will help to rapidly deplete the ranks of Democrats, while we Republicans continue to be fruitful and multiply.”
Sen. McCain noted that since black babies get aborted almost four times as often as white babies, and blacks are 10 times more likely to vote Democrat than Republican, “one of the best long-term strategies for reducing the Democrat electoral base is by attrition through abortion.”
In addition, about half of abortions are performed on lower income women, a group twice as likely to register Democrat as Republican.
“I’ve never been able to figure out these Democrats,” Sen. McCain added. “On the one hand, they give millions to ACORN to register voters. Then they turn around and pump millions more into Planned Parenthood to boost abortions among their core constituency. You’d call it genocide if they weren’t doing it to themselves, but since they are, I guess you call it democide.”

If more well off white folks were clamoring for black babies I’m certain that adoption would be an attractive option.

Lady Palin? Are you suggesting she’s some kind of royalty? I think the reports are now suggesting she is a bigger drag on Sen. McCain than George Bush.
Ms. RW,
I’m sorry for your situation. I do sincerely hope you can make it out to cast your vote.

Dummycrats, dhimmicrats: Any way that you slice them, the celebrate the culture of death.
Governor Palin generates huge crowds without the accoutrements of “free” rock concerts and styrofoam Greek pillars.
Cross your fingers, fellas. The internal polls show that OhBummer is bleeding, not leading. Isn’t it amazing how much money he has thrown into his campaign to result in such paltry payoffs? Like the money he wasted in the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, OPM (other people’s money) is something that The One feels free to toss around negligently to bolster his own ego and promote his Marxist plans. It’s obvious that OhBummer has never held an accountable executive position.
MsRW, Ink: If you can swing it, volunteer to be a poll watcher. When the polls close, some unscrupulous poll workers “vote” on behalf of registered voters who haven’t shown up. Many of those registrants were put on the voter rolls through the auspices of ACORN.

Bober Re#2: That’s beneath you. One of my sons is a Placement Counselor for an adoption agency and has no trouble whatsoever finding good adoptive parents for babies of any ethnicity. Resources, including complete prenatal and infant care, are available for free in thousands of facilities all over the United States. Among my acquaintances, including my own siblings, are many families which include one or more adopted minority children, often adopted at great expense and in more than a few cases adopted with severe medical or other special needs.
For every unwanted baby there’s a family and a loving home waiting. Abortion came to prominence through the white supremacist Eugenics Movement, not out of any concern for unprepared mothers but as a means of culling “undesirable races.” Support it if you will, but recognize the company you keep in doing so.

Re#4: “Lady Palin? Are you suggesting she’s some kind of royalty?”
A little OT, but since the topic’s been raised, any woman can be granted the legal and essentially permanent title of Lady [name] for a very small investment. Men can gain the male counterpart of that title in the same way, and if they do so their wife automatically becomes Lady [whatever]. Makes a great gift, as they say.
“I think the reports are now suggesting she is a bigger drag on Sen. McCain than George Bush.”
I think you’re reading the wrong reports. If anything, Governor Palin has been the precise opposite of a “drag” on the McCain Campaign. Reports are now suggesting Obama wishes he had a running mate like her.

That is one of our jobs, to stand at the door at 7:30 and only let those who have been in line vote. We then, both Democrats and Republicans shut off the computer, count the ballots, seal them in a canvas bag. Then one Republican and one Democrat drive one car to the drop off point. No chance of it happening here.
That is Ohio’s way of doing it. Seems to work fairly good. But in Cleveland they may not have enough Republicans to work. They had one but I think he died after the Civil War or something

Excitement!!! Just checked DRUDGE and McCain/Pslin are moving ahead!! Ahead by three in Florida and ahead by two in Ohio!!!
Of course there are the liberal polls that have Obama ahead by 3000 points in every state plus D.C.
3000 points? Not like they would exaggerate or anything like that.
In reality, almost all polls have the race in a virtual tie (within their 3 point margin).
In this election, I wouldn’t bet thirty five cents on either one. God will put whoever He wants in the Presidency and for His own reasons.
I don’t believe in coincidences, luck or Fortune Cookies. But it wasn’t just a coincidence or accident that Obama knocked on Joe the plumber’s door. Nor is it a coincidence or accident that the media and the DNC are trashing Joe.

Well the polls are showing a dead heat race going into the election. Sarah is looooking so good in her new duds. Maybe she will send me some of them when she wins. Not. Her nice slim figure left me when I hit my 40’s. Though, thanks to the “Y” I am getting back.
Like Mr. Nixon said, “My wife wears a nice cloth Republican coat.” Speaking of which, I don’t own a nice Republican coat. I am going shopping with my friend this morning and I hope she splurges and buys me one. She makes mucho dollars as a ICU RN.

JL 3rd #31 - Good (a/k/a “God”) vs The absence of God (a/k/a “Evil) There is not one instance in a free and honest election where Conservatism has lost. It’s impossible for the Democrats to beat the Republicans in this upcoming election.
If the Republicans lose, it won’t be the Democrats that won, it will be the Republicans who beat the Republicans, who for one reason or another FAIL TO VOTE!!!
If 80 or 90% of Republicans voted, it would result in the greatest landslide victory in history for the republicans.
I read somewhere that a Communist bigwig stated that “America will never be defeated by an outside force, but will freely vote Communism in as their preferred form of government.”
Another writer said:
‘The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years’
‘During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;
8 . From dependence back into bondage’
America is somewhere in the 6, 7, & 8 range.
“The absence of God” can win by default on Nov. 4th, but only if enough of God’s people stay home; choosing bondage (#9).

Be sure not to miss McCain’s exclusive interview with the Washington Times, in which the Arizona senator lashes out at President Bush. “Sen. John McCain on Wednesday blasted President Bush for building a mountain of debt for future generations, failing to pay for expanding Medicare and abusing executive powers, leveling his strongest criticism to date of an administration whose unpopularity may be dragging the Republican Party to the brink of a massive electoral defeat. ‘We just let things get completely out of hand,’ he said of his own party’s rule in the past eight years.â€

If o’bama wins, then they will REALLY be sick when they realize he will treat them just as he will us.
Anyone else notice the trolls all post within minutes of each other? The libs are so stupidly transparent. Scrapple readers can plainly see they are all in the same college dorm or maybe the same person.
Although, we ALL know they are ALL such parrots and lemmings, only the body shapes and faces are different. Inside they are ALL the same “sickness” that is the GODless American lib!
BTW, Powell endorsed o’bama for three reasons. To “pay back” Bush, to get the cabinet post, o’bama has promised him, and MOST important, he is a “brother”. The trolls threw up things we said about McCain when other Republican candidates were in the race. I guess these hypocrite morons forgot the things they said about Colin Powell BEFORE he came over to their side.

I keep hearing that the MSM keeps throwing “hardball” questions at Gov. Palin while tossing “cotton candy puffballs” at Sen. Obama.
I would like for someone in the MSM to ask Sen. Obama, “Sen. Obama, you are on record as professing to be a ‘committed’ Christian. With millions of ‘committed’ Christians who would not hesitate for a single heartbeat to declare that Jesus is the son of God and that anybody who doesn’t believe is condemned and has no hope of heaven? Are you willing to go on record and say the same?”
Anyone in the MSM asking such a question would instantly cease to be in the MSM. Still I’d like to hear Obama’s answer.
1John 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

I have not found that exact statement in your cite.
All of you here have a bad habit of “characterizing” the words of your “enemies”, often putting quotation mark around those characterizations, I believe that to be an act of bearing false witness.
Obama’s actual words seem more closely related to those of Christ Jesus in Mark 9, particularly verse 38.
In any case, Senator Obama is not a candidate to be your pastor; but rather to be the President of the United States, and chief executive of the government of all her people, including unbelievers.
How do you discern Christ’s Spirit, in the evil one who now occupies that office?

That’s more easily understood as “Obama doesn’t believe he, or anyone else, will go to hell.”
Isn’t there a song that says, Everybody talking about Heaven, ain’t going there.?

So if that is bearing false witness against your messiah, then do you agree with him that there are many paths that lead to Heaven? Is Hell a literal place and who goes there, if so?
If Hell is not real, why did Christ mention it more often than he did Heaven?
Just like Mr. Cone and his unscriptural Black Liberation Theology, what we see most of today is do it yourself theology, where you can simply tailor your own ideas about God and his Son.
1. Psalm 111:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
2. Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
3. Proverbs 9:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
This is the era of “No Fear” Christianity.

Barack Obama, wrong on theology, wrong on idealogy, and wrong on sociology. And you guys wanna vote for him? You must be liberals…

re# 44- That should be:”All (going to) He** Obama”.
wv - Salvation so. Yes, salvation is so simple. Still the masses miss it. Sad, isn’t it?

McCain volunteer attacked and mutilated:
A 20-year-old woman who was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield was also maimed by her attacker, police said. . . .
Richard said the robber took $60 from the woman, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim’s car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter “B” into her face, Richard said.
Well, Obama bin Laden did tell his supporters to “get in their faces.”
Hmmmm, I wonder why the lamestream media isn’t reporting this story? Ho hum, just another story of a fascist Obama supporter. I guess the national socialist media is too busy reporting on what size shoes Sarah Palin wears … or that she wasn’t more like Democrat politicians who often get their campaign clothes free from leftard clothes designers (Democrats always love freebies and handouts, don’t they?) and would rather buy them herself with her clothing stipend thereby putting more money into the economy.

I always get a good guffaw when the Leftists rail against piety [1602, from L. pius "dutiful, kind, devout," perhaps related to L. purus "pure, clean"].

Those “pious sounding words” come from the same source as these ones…
Ecclesiastes 12:13
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Genesis 42:18
And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God
Exodus 9:29-30 KJV
29And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD’s.
30But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God.
Exodus 18:21
Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
Deuteronomy 4:10
Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.
Proverbs 24:21 says, “My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change.
Acts 13:26
Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
Ephesians 5:21
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Revelation 14:7
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Revelation 19:5
And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
Anybody care to guess what the Word is trying to tell us?

Woman Attacked, Mutilated for Having a McCain Bumper Sticker
Thursday, October 23, 2008
By Melanie Hunter-Omar
(CNSNews.com) – A 20-year-old woman in Pittsburgh was robbed, then attacked and mutilated by the assailant, who was angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on her car, according to a local television station.
WTAE-TV reports that the woman was robbed at knifepoint Wednesday night at an ATM outside of the Citizens Bank in Bloomfield.
After the robber stole her $60, the man became enraged by a McCain bumper sticker he saw on the victim’s car, and then punched and kicked her before using the knife to scratch the letter “B†into her face, according to Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard.
The attack occurred outside the view of the bank’s surveillance cameras, Richard said. The woman refused medical treatment after the assault.
The suspect is described as a 6 ft. 4 in. tall dark-skinned black man, weighing 200 pounds, with a medium build, and short black hair and brown eyes. He was wearing dark-colored jeans, a black undershirt and black shoes.

From three threads back, the answer to the question is Bill Ayers, in case you didn’t know already…
Does anyone know who said this? Fill in the blank for the following statement:
____ once famously commented, “Kill all the rich people. … Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents.â€
Hint: It was not Joe the Plumber.

BTW, where are all Obambi’s old friends and classmates stepping forward to give their endorsement of what a fine, upstanding president he would make … other than Marxists, American terrorists, Islamists, and commies? [sounds of crickets chirping]

Yep, Re#89, and there just ain’t nothin’ quite so trustworthy as a Per-fesser. Prof. Ted Kaczinski comes to mind, or Prof. Tim Leary; the list goes on.

I have but one question:
Why are some of the pro-life Born Agains so insecure in their belief they feel it necessary to put our articles of faith into law?
I find it incredible that they are acting like a bunch of wooly minded liberals who find it necessary to force salvation on the undeserving who are only fit to burn in hell.
We all know that only 6,500 will be saved (one for each year since God created the Earth out of dust). Our leaders should NOT waste paradise on these unbelievers but take as many of us with them as possible.
Thanks for letting me rant.
Peace

Hey Darth,
By Adults are you referring to the intellectual of you who voted for George W. Bush twice? Yea, that’s a record to brag about. Most would feel apologetic. Even your candidate is attacking his imbecilic behavior for the last eight years. Not you, if Rush says it’s good, you fall in lock step.
Our turn.
Take your red pill and all will return to normal for you.
