Ayers linked to McCain

The McCain/Palin ticket has jumped the gun again and has begun accusing Obama of being linked to Rashid Khalidi, who supposedly is a pro PLO spokesman and “apparently” a friend of Willaim Ayers. The odd thing is they forgot McCain is linked to Khalidi in a much bigger way:

• Khalidi had a going away party when he left Chicago to become professor of Arab Studies at Columbia University
• Obama attended and gave money
• Ayers attended and gave money
• McCain didn’t attend but had given money to Khalidi a few years prior
• Obama & Ayers totaled about $80k
• McCain alone gave nearly $450k

So how does this link McCain with Ayers? They both provided money to somebody who Jewish groups accuse as an “extremist” (because he has spoken sympathetically about resistance to the Israeli). If the GOP begin to defend McCain, they are going to say he didn’t know his associations with the PLO, etc. So who’s to say Obama knew his associations as well? What if they both knew? The GOP needs to stop playing the double standard, because it’s embarrassing and a disgrace (even to me as a republican).

[It feels like an argument with a girlfriend who began accusing the boyfriend of hanging out with one of his childhood friends (who's a girl), and they (the girlfriend) constantly hangs out with their "best friend" (who's a guy)]

To McCain/Palin:
STOP JUMPING THE GUN AND DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU START ACCUSING PEOPLE OF THE SAME FAULTS YOU HAVE TIME AND TIME AGAIN ARE MORE VICTIM OF, THAN YOUR OPPONENT.

Now granted, this is just more fluff again from McCain/Palin to try and shoot down Obama. Some things are questionable, but my worry is that these two are not doing their research. They are receiving a piece of information that sounds good to attack with, without finding out all the information before officially attacking. The GOP continues to dig themself further and further down, and are struggling with every sad attempt to come back up.

I’m tired of the name calling, and the “supposed” associations brought by Fox media. If GOP candidates were worthy of winning, they would be first to declare an economic strategy, a healthcare plan, a foreign policy. He has continued to bring things post Obama, and even though he has brought some points to the table, they are still not valid enough to be what we need to bring back the country.

(sorry for the rant, this has just been extremely frustrating and beyond annoying to keep seeing this over and over and over and over and…..)

Republicans = Anti-Muslim (apparently)

Otero County Republican Woman Chair Marcia Stirman has made it clear of how much of a Republican she is, by stating that a Republican believes Muslims are our enemies. I posted her whole post because I was afraid the publication would eventually take it down because of the severity of it (and the rate Republicans are going, they seem to have to be repudiating alot of comments made by their fellow people [ie. Bachmann]. I guess they know now how the Muslims feel that don’t support terrorism or Al-Qaeda):

I read in today’s paper what a woman wrote explaining why she’s a Democrat. Let me tell you why I’m not. I’m a Republican because:

I believe in a sovereign God who sometimes gives us what we deserve.

I believe Muslims are our enemies.

I believe in life. A baby is not just a fetus, but a living being no matter where it resides.

I believe there is a good reason for the death penalty.

I believe in fiscal responsibility, for the government and for us.

I believe the government is way too big and rife with greed and corruption.

I believe in the truth. People believe lies because it’s much easier than finding the truth.

I believe in personal responsibility. That includes spanking your children.

I believe American women should raise their own children and American men should be men enough to pay for children they’ve produced.

I believe a man and woman make marriage. Period.

I believe in America first and foremost and we ought to take care of our own people, our own land, and illegal aliens should go home.

I believe in guns and knowing how to use them properly.

I believe war is a fact of life and we should always win.

I believe in lower taxes. I know how to spend money better than Congress any day of the week.

I believe in voter ID.

I believe there is a moderate and a socialist in this election. I agree with a two-party system, but Obama isn’t a messiah or a democrat.

He’s a Muslim socialist.
Marcia Stirman, Alamogordo

Geraldo Rivera says…

theres at least 330 million people in the United States. Why not just give everybody a million dollars, it would be cheaper than this 700 billion dollar bail-out, and everybody wouldn’t stress about money (except the billionaires)
