Florida Hispanics: 38% for McCain, 35% for Obama

A new poll by the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund finds that while Barack Obama is overwhelmingly leading McCain in other states with big Hispanic populations -- Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada -- Florida Hispanics are closely split, with 38% backing McCain and 35% backing Obama.

"The shift seems to reflect demographic changes in the state’s Latino voters that are both generational and representative of the growing diversity of Latino immigrant groups now living in Florida,'' said NALEO, which also found that in Florida 40 percent of Hispanics surveyed said the Democratic party "has more  concern for the Latino community," 20 percent said the Republican party did, and 34% said there was no difference.

This Hispanic Vet of the Air Force will be voting for Obama. To me it is an easy choice. Vets, Hispanics, College Grads all for OBAMA!

Guess Hispanics don't much like terrorist-supporting Marxists.

Thank goodness.

3:18 No doubt! They probably don't like your lying to them about Obama, either. Remember, many came to this country to escape a dictatorship, kind of like the one that Bush/McCain have just tried to establish in the USA.

[Bush/McCain should worry about Keating]

Keating, a prominent Arizona banker, organized fundraisers for McCain’s campaigns for the House and later the Senate, and donated $112,000 to McCain by 1987. He also hosted the McCain family at least nine times at his lavish vacation home in Cat Cay, Bahamas.

“I genuinely liked him and enjoyed being around him, especially on those occasions when Cindy and I and our oldest child, Meghan, were invited to his family’s vacation home in the Bahamas,” McCain wrote in his 2002 book Worth the Fighting For: A Memoir.

Keating complained frequently to McCain about regulations – and regulators – that he said threatened the success of the Lincoln Savings and Loan, a subsidiary of Keating’s American Continental Corp.

McCain was persuaded to act. On two occasions in 1987, he met with federal regulators at Keating’s request and asked them to back off Lincoln.

Obama dislikes individual rights, period. Ditto for the rest of the Democrat party.

They are under the impression that your rights are granted to you by government. What government granteth, government can taketh away.

Not so if you believe your rights come from God (creator).

[Ayers worse for Obama than Keating is for McCain]

Biggest difference between McCain/Keating and Obama/Ayers:

McCain, nor anyone else, knew prior to the relationship that Keating was corrupt.

Everyone and their mother knew for years that Bill Ayers was a terrorist.

Both were serious errors in judgment, but McCain's was accidental. Obama's was not.

Obama’s Birth in Kenya

(Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania – 10/06/08) - Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “qualifications” to serve as President of the United States, announced today that Obama and Democratic National Committee [DNC] filed a Joint Motion for Protective Order to Stay Discovery Pending a Decision on the Motion to Dismiss (which was) filed on 09/24/08.

While legal, Berg stated he is “outraged as this is another attempt to hide the truth from the public; it is obvious that documents do not exist to prove that Obama is qualified to be President.” The case is Berg v. Obama, No. 08-cv-04083.

Their joint motion indicates a concerted effort to avoid the truth by attempting to delay the judicial process, although legal, by not resolving the issue presented: that is, whether Barack Obama meets the qualifications to be President.

It is obvious that Obama was born in Kenya and does not meet the “qualifications” to be President of the United States pursuant to our United States Constitution. Obama cannot produce a certified copy of his “Vault” [original long version] Birth Certificate from Hawaii because it does not exist.

Obama-not caring for the unborn and born
In 1999 a gruesome discovery was made that an Illinois hospital was shelving babies to die in a soiled utility room who had survived their abortions.

The Illinois Born Alive Infants Protection Act was introduced in 2001 to provide legal protection to all born babies, wanted or not, including the right to medical care.

Then-state Senator Barack Obama voted against Born Alive 4 times in 3 years and was the sole senator to speak against it on the Senate floor in 2001 and 2002.

In 2002, the Federal version of Born Alive passed unanimously in the US Senate and by overwhelming voice vote in the House. The pro-abortion group NARAL even went neutral on the bill.

But In 2003, Barack Obama voted against the identical version of Born Alive in Illinois. Then, for the next 4 years he repeatedly misrepresented his vote until it was recently discovered in the IL General Assembly archives.

“If Barack Obama had his way I would not be here.”-Abortion Survivor Gianna Jessen

Can you imagine not giving babies their basic human rights, no matter how they entered our world? My name is Gianna Jessen, born 31 years ago after a failed abortion. I’m a survivor, as are many others…but if Barack Obama had his way, I wouldn’t be here.

Unfortunately, Barack Obama voted four times against affording these babies their most basic human right. I have serious concerns about Senator Obama’s record and views on this issue, given he voted against these protections four times as a state Senator. Just as abuse victims share their stories to educate the public, fight for the common good and hope that as a result politicians do what’s right, I felt it was important to come forward and give these new born babies a voice.

I am living proof these babies have a right to live, and I invite you to learn more about Senator Obama’s record on this important issue.

OBAMA & AYERS by Jeff Schrembs
Do the Democrats/Liberals/Socalists/Communists think that we are ALL stupid? To use the excuse that a grown man, harvard educated, attorney does NOT "know" who he is (a) sitting on two boards with (b) doing lectures with (c) contributing to each others "campaigns/endeavors" and (d) meeting wtih to LAUNCH their own Political Campaign...RIDICULOUS!
Furthermore OBAMA was HAND SELECTED by the EXTREMISTS Ayers to distribute 50 MILLION (yes that is right FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS) NOT to children in schools but to "extremists organizations" who want to turn America's poor into little BRAINWASHED TERRORIST.
If you don't believe this then go look at the facts of where this money went.
Obama takes "credit" for 100% Majority votes in the Congress yet he has never said a WORD about this 50 Million Dollars and where it went. Why?
Wake up America and DEMAND the facts from this "Emperor's New Clothes" named OBAMA.
Everyone he has dealt with from his preacher, to the people who HELPED him to buy his home and the land next to it, to his Political Advisors are all KNOWN EXTREMISTS.
Obama is a COWARD and the WORST kind of Liberal...a LIAR!
Nuff said.

[Is Bush finally showing some leadership?]

4:37 No, I mean help us elect the right person to fix this mess, not the one that supports the Bush policies that take your hard earned money and give 4 Billion in tax breaks to Exxon-Mobil or take your hard earned tax dollars AND your children and ships them off to war for corporate profit.

As long as you're not a fat cat driving two Hummers or a trust fund baby living off mommy and daddy's money, we've got your back.

4:40 - Obama was against the state bill. He supported the federal bill because it would not undermine the existing laws on abortion.

Failed abortion survivor...like coat hanger failed?

There is nothing ‘sporadic’ about Barack Obama delivering hundreds of thousands of dollars over a period of many years to fund Bill Ayers’ radical education projects, not to mention many millions more to benefit Ayers’ radical education allies. We are talking about a substantial and lengthy working relationship here... The point of Ayers’ education theory is that the United States is a fundamentally racist and oppressive nation. Students, Ayers believes, ought to be encouraged to resist this oppression. Obama was funding Ayers’ ‘small schools’ project, built around this philosophy. Ayers’ radicalism isn’t something in the past. It’s something to which Obama gave moral and financial support as an adult. So when anyone says that Obama has never expressed sympathy for Ayers’ radicalism, he’s flat wrong. Obama’s funded it.

That's all well and good...but those are not rights.

You do not have the right to marry as you see fit...it's sort of like marrying your dog.

Don't know what you're talking about with the medical decisions???

Nobody's not being taught anything...some just want to present different sides of an issue and let the individual decide. Surely you don't have a problem with this...

But, again these are not "rights" that you are describing.

Please try again...

4:48 - I assume you have lesson plans from the schools?

"policies that take your hard earned money and give 4 Billion in tax breaks to Exxon-Mobil or take your hard earned tax dollars AND your children and ships them off to war for corporate profit."

Exxon-Mobil pays more in taxes than i do, so they get a bigger break. Simple economics.

My child CHOSE to get shipped off to war. He is a proud Marine who fights for your right to spew your hatred as you see fit.

4:49, why do I not have the right to marry as I see fit if both parties are consenting adults? Why? The dog comparison is asinine.

There are no different sides to the issue regarding science. There is one side.

And please do tell, which "rights" is Obama taking from you? I had no idea that God gave the right to bear arms.

Gianna Jessen.

1.) She was born in California, so the state law would not have let her die.
2.) She was a viable infant, aborted at 7 1/2 months, and would have been protected under an Illinois state law that was already in effect that said that doctors were to provide care for viable infants.

You could say all day long that Obama did not know what was reported in Obama's neighborhood liberal and radical newspaper OFTEN, but that makes no sense. He even wrote a blub in the US terrorists bomber's book to endorse Ayer's book that Ayers wrote. HE WAS IN THIS TERRORIST HOME FOR A FUND RAISER TO JUMP START HIS CAREER AND TOOK A LOT OF RADICALS' MONEY. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY DID THAT???
To say he went to a church for twenty years and called his pastor a close friend but Obama did not know his pastor was a white people hater and a radical makes no sense.
And to say that the known criminal who helped him buy his home in Chicago was unknown to him of his criminal actions make no sense.

TO BELIEVE OBAMA WAS IGNORANT OF ALL THESE THINGS WOULD MAKE HIM EXTREMELY STUPID AND GULLIBLE WITH A VERY POOR SENSE OF GOOD JUDGMENT OR .... A VERY DECEITFUL LIAR.

YOU CHOOSE!!

EITHER WAY HE IS NOT CAPABLE TO LEAD THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS.

Barack Obama is a racist that will be bad for latinos & Americans.

"He even wrote a blub in the US terrorists bomber's book to endorse Ayer's book that Ayers wrote."

Where is this?

Ayers is getting the current attention.

Obama is about to get SLAMMED with news from Kenya!

Obama has been counseling Raila Odinga. Obama has HELPED CAMPAIGN for Odinga (Obama in Kenya in 2006).

Odinga has promised Sharia (Muslim) Law, and began a killing-spree against his opponents.

Obama - supporting genocide in Kenya because it helps Odinga!

Even CNN knows that Obama and Ayers have been closer than the campaign admits.

There is a CNN clip at the end of this Cleveland Plain Dealer story.

Obama, Ayers and Rev.Wright all believe that America is an imperialist, racist, oppressive country. If you believe that, vote for him.

Either way, Obama should be honest about what he believes and stop lying and trying to fool the voters.

MICHELLE OBAMA'S PRIDE IN AMERICA

Michelle Obama proclaimed that for “the first time in her adult life” she was proud of America.

I wondered about this, why someone who was born and raised in America might feel this way. It's not as if she was raised in the ghetto, in fact I believe she has lived in much better conditions than many other Americans. As a child she grew up "not feeling proud of America?" Huh?

Now it makes sense, when you consider the alliances Obama grew up with, and most certainly still nurtures (even if done so underground). He has surrounded himself with and/or attracked questionable figures who have obviously groomed him for political life. These figures advocate "anti-America" rhetoric.

Traveling in these circles surely has molded the thoughts that Michelle so it makes sense she made such an atrocious statement of "for the first time...".

Given Obama's alliances and influences of "anti-America" it absolutely does not make sense that just because Obama is running for Presidential office that he "now loves America". And "now Michelle" is proud of American for the first time...why? Because Obama is running for Presidential office?

Why should Middle America believe there has been a metamorphus of these two?

Instead, we should say:

'WAKE UP AMERICA, THE ENEMY COMETH FROM WITHIN'!

He and his anti-America beliefs will covertly destroy America from within! Don't be blindly trusting of this candidate and those around him!

Excerpt from Senator McCain’s speech. “If Senator Obama is such a champion of financial regulation, why didn't he support these regulations [Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Reform Act S.190, 2005 cosponsored by McCain] that could have prevented this crisis in the first place? He won't tell you, but you deserve an answer.”
http://www.johnmccain.com

Obama speaks to the NAACP 99th annual gathering in socialist code about how their socialism will be paid for. Rich people pay 70% of all taxes demanded by the IRS. Obama has promised 95% of the American people a tax break. Clever! Over half of those people do NOT PAY taxes. They will get a ‘bonus check’ from the American workers and small business owners.
http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=302137342 405551

Obama will increase the corporate tax to 39.6 %, capital gains and dividend taxes from 20% to 28%, inheritance tax 42%, payroll tax 2% to 4% and income taxes on the working family earning $42,000 annually. Obama says, "People aren't looking for charity. We talk about welfare and we talk about poverty, but what people really want is fairness.” That is socialist code for the redistribution of Americans hard earned money to people who DO NOT WORK.

MICHELLE OBAMA UNAMERICAN?

First time proud of her country.

I have always been proud. During our wars, during 9/11, always!

What bothers me most this that Obama seems to be very comfortable with people who clearly hate the US.

Exactly. Most Americans would be repelled by the Weather Underground, who were a clear and present danger to the U.S. Obama is out of the emotional mainstream.

Character counts

Just look at Obama's very close friends, and associates.

Ayers, Dohrn, Rezko, Rashidi the PLO sympathizer, Rev. Wrigth the America hater! the list goes on.....

Wow, some one is on a copy and paste rampage.

Little less sugar in the Kool Aid, dear. You might present more facts that way. (hint: If it has "editorial" somewhere in the title line, odds are it's not a fact.)

What bothers me most this that Obama seems to be very comfortable with people who clearly hate the US. Most of us would not even think to be in the same room as these hateful people. It clearly should make people pause and ask what does this guy really believe?

His response that he didn't know is also becoming a pattern. Can you imagine him using this excuse as president.

Obama can look you in the face and just flat lie. He also said his and Ayers' children went to school together and I understand the Ayers kids are much older, so that ain't so. New information is coming out about the Chicago Annenberg Challenge indicating Ayers requested the grant and had Obama head it up. The money was spent on "education", by which they mean radicalizing students. Then there is the very cozy relationship with another terrorist, former PLO member Rashid Khalidi.

Obama has sought out radical relationships since his teens. It really looks like he is running his campaign according to Saul Alinsky's principles. I fear for my country.

Q. What do Barack Obama and Osama Bin Laden have in common?

A. They both have friends who bombed the pentagon.

I am Latino and I am voting for Sen. McCain and so are all of my family and friends. I don't have one single Latino friend, family member or business client voting for Obama.

I'm Asian & I'm voting for McCain too.
No way will I ever vote for someone that is UN-AMERICAN as Barack Obama & Michelle Obama.
