[jozo1488]

[Ecksntrick8]

I found a pussy!

[cathyfa]

In his book the Audacity of Hope" : "I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS CHANGE IN AN UGLY DIRECTION". He is crazy !!!!

[jef2008]

I was there! Barack Obama for President of the United States of America!

[mostlydead]

ITZ not about OBAMA, it's about US! WE LIKE OBAMA, because he is like those of us that follow him. We don't hate Hillary, we just desire change from Bush/Clinton ERA. We all have crazy pastors and study hard. We are civic minded and have shown the older set as much respect as they deserve, sooner or later we will lead you boomers...why not now?

[nmurdach]

no.

[ElCapitan1985]

Ron Paul beat Obama in votes in the Idaho primary, what does that tell you Obama supporters? that you'd better wake up.

[nmurdach]

Wrong

Not sure where you get your facts from but here are the actual results form the Idaho Primary. Do you people just make this stuff up?

Democrats

Barack Obama 40,853 votes at 64%

Hillary Clinton 19,772 votes at 31%

Republicans

John McCain 87,341 votes at 70%

Ron Paul 29,741 votes at 24%

[DemonicPresence2]

Ok, what u people need to realize obama and mccain wont be as good a president as hilary. Barack Obama has only been in the senate for 2years. WHile Hillary was in the White house for 8years and in the senate for 35 years. Barack Promises change. Thats what every president has said. But they never gave it. McCain is gonna be another Bush. The only reason people are voting fore Barack Obama is because hes young and people want a young president. He cannot do what he says he can.Hes too young

[luvjazz]

35 years!? please get your facts right. She has not been in the Senate too much longer than Barack.

[jef2008]

If your going to make a point, then the best you can do is state the facts! -"WHile Hillary was in the White house for 8years and in the senate for 35 years."-

35 years? Not True.

[seanpianoman]

Obama is the new face to America..any other option is a disaster America and the world.

[abudi20]

Plenty of gays and over-sexualized youth in Tampa, no wonder so many came to see him.

[nmurdach]

Are you afraid of something...hmmm?

I bet you have plenty of Playboys in your house and you watch a lot of sports...right? You drive a pickup truck and play softball with your buddies, right?

Are you overcompensating for something? A little gayness perhaps?

[nmurdach]

Reply to Abudi20.

[abudi20]

lol good one. But I'm serious. This is Tampa we're talking about.

[nmurdach]

Are you from San Francisco?

[nmurdach]

Ha, I just checked your page and you do have a sports fetish. The storied "jock sniffer" as Neil Boortz would say. Those who can't do, drink beer and watch it on TV.

[abudi20]

So because I like sports, that's makes me...

[nmurdach]

No, just thought it was funny. Cheers.

[abudi20]

Nope. Orlando, Florida

[FL4BarackObama08]

your right about one thing arequipa1 people are smart enough to vote 4 change thats why Obama will be our next president!

[FL4BarackObama08]

OBAMA IS THE MAN!

[TerryADunne]

Obama is a compulsive lier.He did not even want FL. VOTE

[nmurdach]

He's not asking for it now, you moron. Read a newspaper or watch the news sometime.

[TerryADunne]

yea, Yo Boy, taught the constitution and calls himself a democrat, yet he impedes the progress of democracy. He is a Hypocrite. He tells us he wants to unite the country yet he practices Black Liberation Theology. He is a Liar. Now you call me moron yet you support this POS. You are the moron that and worse. Afraid??? People are tired of being called afraid and stupid just because we don't support Yo Boy. people like you are driving people like me farther away from Obama than ever.

[nmurdach]

People like me use our brains to evaluate the situation using our "critical thinking" skills. Use your index and and middle finger on both hands her to make quotation marks. It makes for better effect. We don't have to listen to the talking heads on the left or right to let us know the hate du jour. Where did you get these "facts", again with finger motion, that Obama practices Black Liberation. Because his church may or may not? I bet you are Catholic, only judging by last name...

[nmurdach]

does that mean that you practice pedophilia?

I'm sure sure you're not willing to jump to that conclusion, nor am I. I do like the way you use the "Yo Boy", again with the finger motion, to reference him because he is black. Would he be "Yo Boy" if he was white. I'm not injecting your thought pattern here but it is curious.

As far as being afraid, you probably should be because it looks to me he will be the next president. I am still waiting for a true reason that Obama is a hypocrite?

[TerryADunne]

LOL: You say that you use your brain for critical thinking and yet you are voting for Obama. That said, you may as well stop trying to impress people with that critical thinking thing you do. Also that childish comment about what keys to push on a keyboard to create desired actions, did not impress anyone with half a damn brain. No I am not a Catholic but I smell a skunk and it is Obama. Millions agree with me, while we cling to guns and religion, with antipathy for those who are not like us.

[nmurdach]

Don't get mad because I'm both witty and funny. It's genetics, obviously you were left out on that one.

I have not yet decided on who I will vote for, but I can tell you I tote guns and a brain and I choose to use both.

But, I am still waiting for some truth of this so called hypocrisy. Support your statements with some facts. Give me a real reason not to vote for Obama. If you are able to to comment that Obama is a liar, show me that he is a liar.

[TerryADunne]

OK I am not mad and now that you are through trying to make me believe you are witty and funny, here is some recent proof. I'll just cite this one case. Yesterday it was on ALL NEWS CHANNELS, showing Obama making a speech stating that he had an uncle who was in Poland during WW2. Well, number 1 Obama does not have an uncle and number two, we were never in Poland in WW2, Russia was. So there is your proof. If you want more, just Google it. There is lots more.

[nmurdach]

Yesterday he mistakenly referred to Auschwitz instead of Buchenwald in telling of his personal experience of a soldier in his family who served heroically. It was his great Uncle and Buchenwald is in Germany. So he was mistaken b/c it was not his Uncle but his Great Uncle and he was mistaken b/c it was Buchenwald, Germany..not Auschwitz in Poland.

I can see the mistake but not the hypocrisy. This is no different than any mistakes made by any other politician.

[nmurdach]

The critical thinking thing I do is something I wish all people would do, and should. Criticize the so called news we see on both sides and decide for yourself what is true and what is false. We all need to do this in order to not be duped by any politician or their machine. Its hard to get the true facts from any media outlet on network news and I choose to use my critical thinking and ask myself what this particular person or group stands to gain from making a particular statement or attack

[TerryADunne]

If you mean what you are saying, you will buy a copy of Black Theology, Black Power by James Cone as I did. Senator Obama has been hip deep in that theology for 20 years. When you read the book and come to the conclusion that they want to destroy the whole white race because of the color of our skin, you might second guess, the critical thinking, you have done to date, unless of course, you are in agreement with destruction of the entire white race.

[TerryADunne]

One more thing, you may as well find out for yourself. You do not believe the news and so you dang sure will not believe me. Read that book, (Black Theology, Black Power by James Cone), then use your critical thinking to come to a TRUE UNDERSTANDING OF THAT DOCTORINE's intent.

[nmurdach]

March 18, 2008 McCain

McCain said it was "common knowledge and has been reported in the media that al-Qaeda is going back into Iran and receiving training and are coming back into Iraq from Iran, that's well known. And it's unfortunate." A few moments later, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, stepped forward and whispered in the presidential candidate's ear. McCain said: "I'm sorry, the Iranians are training extremists, not al-Qaeda."

As similar and unimportant as Obama's gaffe.

[TerryADunne]

You may as well stop trying to explain this away to me. A gaffe is a gaffe. A plain damn outright lie is a plain damn outright lie. If you cared you would already have done your research on Obama and you would know he is a thug and we would not be having this conversation.

[nmurdach]

It's not that I don't believe the news but I choose to filter the veracity of it. We can't believe all that we hear or see on TV or radio. Most networks have a motive, revenue. Sensationalized news drives revenue and sometimes we are left with a deafening barrage of rather unimportant news.

I will read the book you mention. Have you read it? I heard of it on the Boortz show. From what I have heard it sounds pretty radical. Does it make a connection to Obama or that he follows this doctrine?

[nmurdach]

I do understand that there are some fundamental groups that would like to see the end of the white race as there are fundamental groups against every race on earth. But, my question after reading this book would be are there concrete connections that Obama subscribes to this doctrine?

It is scary that there are groups that want to see the end of the white race because this is a fairly new feeling. But let us realize most other races have felt this hatred for a long, long time.

[TerryADunne]

And so our dialog is over, because I already know you would defend his lie. I am a Hillary supporter. I admit she lied about Bosnia. Obama supporters always refuse to hear any bad word about their candidate. Blind to the truth. So be it. Vote blind then.

[arkaknight2]

You have little understanding of what is a "lie" and what is misspoken. You are blinded by your own beliefs. So be it. Be as blind as Hillary Clinton then, thinking that she has the most number of delegates. What utter arrogance.

[TerryADunne]

OK. Vote Obama. We'll see who is blind, but while you are voting Obama, there will be millions of us voting McCain, because if we have our way about it, the black Liberation Theology movement will not be in the white house. If you are black, I understand you voting for Obama. If you are not black and you are voting for Obama then you are plain damn stupid.

[nmurdach]

Well all I have to say is that you have been duped by misinformation. I am still going to read the book but with a grain of salt. If you would like to continue an unnecessary war, as Mcclellon revealed it was yesterday, you stick with McCain for the next 100 years. But what does he care, that geezer will be dead in 10.

Good luck with a 80 year old president. I don't know about you but I don't trust some 72 year olds on the road, let alone running the free world.

[nmurdach]

Nonetheless, it has ended up being an interesting and fruitful conversation. So good luck and please forget to vote in November, just kidding.

2009---An End of an Error

[TerryADunne]

Don't worry I will vote and you should too and you should vote your conscience. Get informed though. I wish we had one candidate this time around worth voting for.

[TerryADunne]

I agree with you 100%. If I end up having to support McCain, it will be out of necessity, in hopes that in 4 years we can have a democrat worth a damn running for office. I would not mind a welcome change at that time of electing a black president, just not Obama. My videos are a reflection of how I feel about all of those black liberation theologians. I hate them as much as I hate KKK. I will pull my stuck on stupid videos when they quit teaching their stuck on stupid doctrine.

[TerryADunne]

Let me say this. I am not on a hunt to persecute black people. They have been persecuted enough. My only thing is this. Black Liberation Theologians want to kill us simply because we are white. Hell, the is ridiculous KKK BS in reverse. Reverend Wright uses James Cone as an example to promote his philosophy of religion as being righteous. I am half way through and the book is BS in the highest order. (Continued.)

[TerryADunne]

Obama's part in this, is that he has chosen to attend and pay tithes to a church which is based on the teachings of Cone. Now let us be real for one quick moment. Senator Obama may be a lot of things, but he is not a dumb ass. He knew what was beinbg taught in that church, if he attended services for 20 years. He supported it or he would have left. Case in Point. Oprah attended that church for a few years. When she understood the doctrine of the church she left and did not go back.

[nmurdach]

I agree the background of the church is a little sketchy. But like you say, Obama is a smart man, and has had political ambitions for a good while. I doubt he would have stayed seated for 20 years if he thought they were racist bigots, that would only hurt his political gusto. It's a big stretch for me to believe this.

[nmurdach]

Dude, I can't believe I wasted all this time having a conversation with a hater. That's all you are. I looked at your page and all you have is negative videos against Obama. That's the problem. You can't give any positives for your candidate so you dig and dig for negatives of the opposition.  From the looks of it, you are scared!

[TerryADunne]

I did not get to acting stupid til all the crap about Obama came out and then I got to acting stupid also. Just my way of letting folks know that the shit stream can run both ways. I actually nearly detest Hillary. I actually cringe at the prospect of having 4 more years of republican rule, but compared to the prospect of Having Obama, I would campaign for either Hillary or Mccain.

[nmurdach]

Check out these two vids on McCain and tell me who the hypocrite and liar is.

John McCain vs. John McCain

McCain's YouTube Problem Just Became a Nightmare

[jhertig]

I was there on Wed! I can actually see myself. Ha Ha Ha!

But it was amazing to hear a man who is powerful and influential say EXACTLY what I am thinking. This man is the man who will stop this RIDICULOUS war and bring our men and women home. And this is the man who empower us the people instead of corporate interests and the extremely wealthy.

I will never forget this event. GO OBAMA!

[greyseal5]

I was there too. He rocked and the people were totally into it.

[sahseh07]

i'm jealous! i go to usf which is 15 mins from there and i couldn't go cause i was in stupid orlando >(

[midwestbaker]

arequipa1 -- get a grip! why so negative? use your energy in a better way. have a little more faith in OUR America.

[mrsnet]

The next POTUS, BARACK OBAMA!!!

[Thesouthman]

Obama FOREVER, mc cain NEVER

Obama '08

[FL4BarackObama08]

I was therre the energy in that place was AWESOME!!! O-BAM-A O-BAM-A!!!!

[cosmlayla]

He makes me smile...

[Sancin2]

uuuugh, stupid work prevented me from being there!

[PROPHECYAKAMACHETE08]

I love Tampa and I love Obama. Wish I had been there!

[lazarocuba2001]

He is a PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[lifeandfaith]

Thank you Mr. President. Thank you for reminding us what a great country we have. Thank you for reminding us that we can work together despite our differences. Thank you for inspiring us to work in our churches and schools and local government to fight for decency and honor and respect. Change is coming to America.

[PaulHartXYZ]

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

Florida is HIS.

[marcisneros]

I was here!!

[arequipa1]

good thing obama doesn't have the faintest prayer in the general election. you pro-bama knuckleheads just go on cheering.

[LongBeachDave]

We will...all the way to inaguration day!!!

Enjoy...you will benefit, too, from an Obama administration...just wait, you'll see!

[LongBeachDave]

make that "Inauguration Day"

[arequipa1]

lol, you don't really think he has a chance, do you? if you do, you need to screw your head on straight! he's going to hit the wall called the "GENERAL ELECTION." america won't support him from what they've already seen, and i'm betting there's more negatives to come. don't underestimate the republican machine. they will chew him up and spit him out.

[FreakinForte]

I agree with midwestbaker. You don't need to be so negative. Have faith that a democrat will be in that office. I don't think America is that stupid to let another republican that is like Bush back in the office.

[arequipa1]

dude, i'm not being negative, i'm being POSITIVE! obama in the white house is the last thing i ever want to see! and i can chant from the rooftops with pride that it pretty much ain't gonna happen!

[FreakinForte]

Why is the last person then? Are you republican? Or maybe a sore Hillary supporter. Either way a lot of people come on here and just say whatever and have no legitimate reason behind it or they have a reason but are embarrassed to say it. So I'm asking you if you don't mind what is your reason?

[arequipa1]

i'm not even sure what you're asking. why will obama lose in the general? want the honest answers? he's much too liberal (way, way left of the mainstream), which means huge voting blocs will turn out against him. second reason is his race. sad but true. there will be millions who will vote against him for this reason. third reason is rev. wright. people are disgusted by that rhetoric (incl. myself).

[FreakinForte]

aNo he didn't attend his church but he did seek out his endorsemant. Even after some of his offensive remarks were made he did the same as Obama did. He denounced the comments but not the man. Only until both pastors gone too far over the line did both of the candidates denounce the pastors so I honestly think that Rev. Wright really is not an issue that be debated on. Also, if you're republican i can understand your vote for McCain a little better but if you're democrat I can't

[arequipa1]

people get lulled into a false sense of security during the primaries. they see whole states going one way and they think they've got that state won in the general election. wrong. obama lost most of the big states in the primary and you can bet tons of dems from those states won't be voting for him. some will but some won't. i'm not wild about mccain but i'd vote for him all day long over obama because he's the safer choice for this country and i know millions of others feel the same way.

[FreakinForte]

Honestly I really don't feel that at all. Yes, there are idots out there that won't vote because of his race it's stupid and ridicuolous especially if he carries their views. But the Rev. Wright is too much. People are offended by it but realize that he didn't say those things he distanced himself from him and his comments and people sit there and believe that because of him being his pastor that he believes all of the same mess. If that's so then what about John McCain and John Hagee?

[arequipa1]

no. i think people are smart enough to look at the fact that obama sat in the guy's church for 20 years. they can draw their own conclusions. you liberals may think the country should follow your wild ideas, but in reality, there are a lot of moderates and conservatives in this nation. obama's going to find that out the hard way and i will love every second of watching his defeat and fall from grace. i can't stand him and his sanctimonious supporters.

[FreakinForte]

And people can see what McCain is about when you seek the endorsement of a controversial pastor. The republicans are going down this year unless McCain can really distance himself from being the third Bush term.

[arequipa1]

i'm sorry but you're just wrong. if you believe that you're in for a rude awakening in the general election. mccain's got the edge over obama big time. check out the media/polls/etc.

[lizziecohen]

"Americans are just phenomenal when they do things whith love. Greetings from Norway."

Thank you for the person who said this [I thought I had your name, but it's on the next page]. We have been disdained for so many reasons, it's good to hear this at such a wonderful time in our country's history. I was there today, too, and the one who commented on the energy is right; and the one regarding his aura is right. Yes ~ count was about 20,000. I was in the front row standing. Gratitude.

[aonyaand]

I was at the IOWA rally! There is something magical about Obama! Its his ora...its powerful.

[crimsonwhite1]

Florida will go Obama in 2008. We need this man for president now more than ever!

[datdmnaggie]

Way to go Florida. Split the delegates.
