um....i think that if the mayor is dumb enough to believe a chain letter via email, then the whole city just might be better off if he does something else for the day and stays out of it

I cannot *stand* that "um....". It's probably the inner English teacher in me.

You must have forgotten that his consituents are the ones that elected him. He might not be too bright for the rest of America, but he must be a certified genius in his neck of the woods.

LOL!

i stopped reading at "fort mill"

I flat out hate the two party system. Probably why I'm independent. I hate that people in my state will vote for anyone with an R next to their name because that's what they've always done, and there is one particular R person who is a complete joke and has done more damage than good. If we could have had another candidate (not even a D, maybe another R) who wasn't a d-bag, things would be better off. I'd rather vote for an individual, not a party (any party!).

Back to the thread...
Isn't he out of the anti-Christ running for not being adopted if we're going with the Damien example with a mark of the beast tattoo?

I think he's out of the running in general (regarding being anti-christ anyway). I dont think there is clear evidence to support anyone being anti-christ right now.

Right. No one is perfect, but I haven't seen anything positive Busch has done for this country.

Oprah? Rachel Ray? Jerry Springer?

(Yes, I'm being facetious.)

Yes. Obama is anti-christ and Oprah can be his false prophet. Jerry Springer can be a member of his cabinet. Rachel Ray can be Obama's naughty mistress :)

Yeah, American Beer sucks.

Create "The Great American Lager"?

And now the character assassination begins
 

CARSON, Calif., - Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Saturday accused Democrat Barack Obama of "palling around with terrorists" because of an association with a former '60s radical, a harsh attack on his character that she repeated at three separate campaign events without substantiation.

Palin's reference was to Bill Ayers, one of the founders of the group the Weather Underground. Its members were blamed for several bombings, including a pipe bomb in San Francisco that killed a police officer and injured another. Obama, who was a child when the group was active, has denounced Ayers' radical views and activities.

While it is known that Obama and Ayers live in the same Chicago neighborhood, served on a charity board together and had a fleeting political connection, there is no evidence that they ever palled around. And it's simply wrong to suggest that they were associated while Ayers was committing terrorist acts.

Nonetheless, Palin made the comments at three appearances in separate states.

"Our opponent ... is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough, that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country," said told donors at a private airport in Englewood, Colo. Palin echoed the line later in Carson, Calif., and Costa Mesa, Calif.

Falling behind Obama in polls, the Republican campaign plans to make attacks on Obama's character a centerpiece of candidate John McCain's message in the final weeks of the presidential race. Coming late in the campaign, Palin's remark could be particularly incendiary, either backfiring on McCain or knocking Obama off his focus on the troubled economy — or both.

The campaign was clearly prepared to raise the Ayers' connection to Obama. In addition to Palin's comments at her appearances Saturday, the McCain campaign distributed Palin's comments to reporters.

"This is not a man who sees America like you and I see America," Palin said. "We see America as a force of good in this world. We see an America of exceptionalism."

I bet Sarah Palin doesn't know Bill Ayers from Roy Ayers.

One has to wonder how much Obama knew to be associated at all with the guy.

Would you serve on a committee with a person who had never disavowed his involvement with domestic bombings and a terrorist organization?

Would you accept campaign donations from him?

I don't think I would, but maybe I'm uptight like that.

Do you get to choose your fellow committee members? If you think you can do more good by being on a committee despite the history of one of the members, then by resigning or refusing and not doing anything, do you?

Like it or not the man teaches at a university and is part of society there, you have to associate with him or you associate with no one. And then you get nothing done. The guy isn't a golf buddy.
