2. Obama For King
Dave Levy ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (05.10.08)
Israel's strongest supporters in the US are the Evangelical Christians, McCain supporters. It's lowest support are the so-called liberal progressive churches, the Mormons, etc. Older realistic Americans with means, are voting for McCain, younger idealistic ones for Obama. Hillary gets the mainline Democrats, the Jews. Obama is wishy washy on Israel, making generalized statements like I support Israel's existence, Duh! McCain is a conservative Republican..Obama is a left wing liberal Democrat. Obama has no experience in gov't except 2 yrs as a jr Senator. Hillary and McCain have years of experience. Neither Obama or Hillary have been in the military. McCain knows war from personal experience. Hillary and Obama are tax and spenders. McCain wants less gov't. (Your taxes). The Arabs are for Obama for obvious reasons. The Jews again, are voting against their own self-interests..limited gov't and a strong defense (especially the M.E.). I would ask Obama, if Iran tests or is about to test the big one, what would you do? Would you hit Iran? Would you stop Israel from hitting Iran? What, what, what? Obama is for change..change? Sure, he wants to become king of the US. Hillary, his queen. If Obama is elected, we will be facing Al Qaeda (Iraq), but not in Iraq, right here in the good old US of A. The choice is simple. Obama would not have voted to get rid of Saddam..can we imagine his son now running Iraq, united with Shia Iran...(not as some say, a counter to Iran). Ahmed is fooling Obama, and Obama is fooling US. Don't say I didn't worn you.

6. Obama is a very attractive candidate but
Zooog ,   USA   (05.11.08)
he lacks experience and has exhibited poor judgement. A vote for Obama is a roll of the dice.

Chanalau,Tova ,   London, UK   (05.11.08)

arabs are the reason halal meat has to be served in all US prisons. arabs are the no. 1 reason we have to arrive at our airports 2 hours early. what are they winners at? creative writing in the field of history.
11. Interesting size-up, #2
Cameron ,   USA   (05.11.08)
A no. of good points. The times are just too heavy for a repeat of the Jimmy Carter years. Obama has such a such a weak-sister, Liberal bulls**t aura to him it makes the hair on the back of one's head stand straight up. A potential Obama administration has "fiasco" written all over it.
12. #2 I agree with your arguments but not your English WORN ME
Squalid Ibn Harman ,   Qtir   (05.12.08)
For practical purposes I agree with you except for the mistakes in English: Warn and not Worn, Neither .. nor instead of Neither ... or. Most Americans have short memories and have long forgotten the WTC and Pentagon and the reasons American went to war. Today they are focused on oil prices, the economy, etc. Until the war comes to American shores, Americans don't want to get involved in foreign politics that they don't understand and in places that they can't find on a map to save their lives. For most Americans Java is decafeinated coffee; Siamese are either twins or cats; Chinese is take out food, Russian is a salad dressing, Turkey is eaten on Thanksgving, Greece is what your hamburgers are cooked in at McDonalds, French is salad dressing, toast, fries, and kissing; Dutch is when your date buys her own meal; Jordan is a famous basketball player; and Paris is a rich debutante who appeared in porn;.

The only thing that Palestinians have won is misery.....congratulation.
14. Religiuos Jews have problems with Clinton and Obama.
John ,   ME   (05.12.08)
Obama is Black and his middle name is Hussien . And Clinton ... well... is a woman... and let us face it religious people of all faiths don't think women are up to it... plus she is Bill's wife who slept with a Jew on Easter :-)))
15. McCain's Freedom fries
Wanda ,   Montreal   (05.12.08)
He's the perfect heir to the Moron Terror! Clinton misread the times, because she doesn't want change, she wants continuance of the oligarchy... she's an embellishing embezzler who can't even hear the common voice. Long live B.O.!
16. #2 (Mormons)
Bill Pearlman ,   new York, USA   (05.13.08)
No problem with anything else you wrote except with the Mormons. I used to volunteer for a pro-Israel pac and anytime we came across a mormon candidate they were great on israel. I'm still not sure why but they were.
