Poll Numbers: Obama still up

If the good folks at Zogby International can be trusted, Sen. Barack Obama maintains his lead in the Democratic presidential primary despite Sen. Hillary Clinton's last minute push, the Rev. Wright Controversy, etc... From the release:

After a good day of polling, Obama retains a lead in North Carolina - 48% to 39%, with 13% either unsure or favoring someone else.

[snip]

In North Carolina, Obama's lead comes from strength among voters age 18 to 54, while Clinton leads among the 70 and older.

North Carolina is NOT suffering from collective insanity! That would be the ONLY reason to vote to nominate a NON ELECTABLE Candidate like Barack Obama! Even if he was to win the nomination the man is NOT ELECTABLE due to HIS LIES,! He has LIED in his aoutobiography, he has lied about what he has done for the black african American Community,(according to people in Chicago he has done NOTHING despite his claims) he lied about his involvement with Tony Resko (turns out he stayed long enough to aqcuire HIS property) the list goes on seemingly endless! But the straw that broke the camels back is his ANTI-AMERICAN,RACIST sentiments ! His complete abscense of judgement is only surpassed by his apparent absence of LOYALTY! Once he was (once again) "found out" when what Obama first claimed to have aslept thru 20 yrs of sermons then stated he "would not Disown Rev. Wright anymore than his Grandmother" and now Publicly disownsm him it is apparent people are DISPOSABLE COMMODITIES to Barack! His abundance of associations with people who share ANTI-AMERICAN views are disturbing and downright frightfull! I mean Ayers "regrets more Americans were not killed on 9-11" and judging from the hour of (only 2 sermons 20 minute segments) Pastor Wright Political agenda disguised as theology in his Black Liberation hate mongering trash where he repeatedly yells GOD____N AMERICA, and spews on about how Americans DESERVE to have TERRORISTIC ATTACKS because " THE CHICKENS HAVE COME TO ROOST" Barack Obama should NOT be in any public office let alone in highest office! He is most certainly a NOT ELECTABLE Candidate who has DISHONORED HIS RACE and DISHONORED AMERICA and even the KENNEDYS because JFK would have NEVER under any circumstances approve, select as mentor or associated with the likes of Rev. Wright JFK like Hillary Clinton spend his life FIGHTING for EQUALITY NOT for Anto American HATRED!!Obama needs to WITHDRAW NOW!!!

How is it possible that a man with such dubious associations as Barack Obama has, continues in public office? It seems to me that the man poses a serious threat to National security considering that he seems to have several long lasting ties to anti-american anti-government groups and individuals! To begin with I watched and heard Pastor Wrights "content" of sermons on Glenn Beck (CNN) His GODD__N AMERICA, and apparent support of terrorist groups and his claims we (Americans) kill innocent people, are guilty of genocide and have conspired to kill blacks and african americans with aids border on lunacy!The "church " participation was anything but sedentary as they were encouraged and gladly joined in the "DAMN America chanting and the "chickens come home to rest" This Black liberation theology is nothing short of a Racist, anti american political marxism politics masquerating as religion! Baracks 20 year participation in this "church" certainly speaks of a COMPLETE ABSCENCE OF COMMON SENSE! His initial "support" of Pastor Wright stating he could never disown him followed by his DISOWNING him last week speaks not only of his DISLOYALTY but as to his INABILITY to make CORRECT choices and to STAND BY his choices! He lacks convictions,morals, ACCOUNTABILITY and SELF-RESPONSIBILIY.Therefore he LACKS LEADERSHIP QUALITIES! He is an embarrassment and a DETRIMENT to the black african-american community an is NOT ELECTABLE! He is damaging not only his (democratic) party. But the efforts and strides of the black africanamericans.His promise to "unite" has already PROVEN to "breed" DIVISION of RACE and POLITICS! Please WITHDRAW and let us have a VIABLE Democrat Nominee Hillary Clinton has always seemed to have an understanding for not only black african american, women and minority struggles.She can WIN against John McCain! A vote for Barack Obama is a vote closer to John Mccain!

Calling ALL Americans who honor the Constitution.

We at the Greensboro Ron Paul Meetup group invite you to come join the fight with us tomorrow at 7pm at the Chic Fil A on Lanada Rd in Greensboro, the one near stanley ave and west wendover.

If you are a supporter, and have not gotten involved yet, please I am asking you, come, help us, we need you. We do not ask for any money, it is just us folks sitting and talking about how to get the message of Freedom and Liberty to the People.

I once heard someone say if you think you are not qualified to run for office, to represent the people, you only have to ask yourself if you are the people, if you are, then you represent the people and are fully qualified.

Now I am not asking you to come and run for office, although I would love for you to. I am simply asking, come and be a part of NC Primary day on Tuesday, help hold a sign, take people to the polls. Canvas your precinct, by going and talking to neighbors.

If you are frustrated with the decision you feel the media is making for you, tired of the silly issues they discuss on the mainstream media programs. You know this is not what we need. We need someone focused on the serious issues our country faces, do you know who is talking about them? It sure is not any of the candidates you see on main stream tv. We are on the brink of our dollar collapsing, we are in a terrible war, our health care system is failing, we are losing all of our liberties in exchange for false security, a failing education system, total government control, global hatred to our country, entering the worst depression we have ever seen. Does it really matter the insignificant issues they discuss on tv are? We are the only campaign offering REAL change, real Freedom, imagine real, uninhibited Freedom, the same Freedom so many Americans have lost their lives to protect, they made the ultimate sacrifice, to defend the liberties that they are just taking from us without a fight now. Do you think we will get them back? Depends upon their mood that day. Do you want this to continue?

Even in the last depression, we at least had our industrial exports, and we could still work. Now with no more industrial jobs left here, everything has been shipped to china or other countries with lower taxes or regulations or cheaper labor than the us. There will not be this income, and we will be totally relying on our government, but in these situations, when countries will not loan us money because our credit score has gone so low, how will they feed you? The answer is they wont be able to. This is not a world I want to live in. I will not rely on the government to take care of me.

Come join the Revolution.

It is time

Barack Obama fabricated his mentor and hero Jeremiah Wright's upbringing. Obama stated that Jeremiah Wright is angry at white America because he was raised in poverty and humiliation, all because of white oppression. The actual truth is, Jeremiah Wright's upbringing was in a privileged upper middle class family in Philadelphia. Wright grew up in the racially mixed, middle class neighborhood of Germantown. Jeremiah Wright's parents were well paid, educated teachers plus his father was a preacher. Jeremiah Wright didn't even attend the school in his own local school district. Jeremiah Wright was actually was one of the few and privileged that attended the elite prestigious Central high school across town. Wright has lived a charmed life that most of us long for. Jeremiah Wright has never known poverty. Jeremiah Wright alone is to blame for his hatred of white America and Jewish people. Jeremiah Wright curses America with his belly and bank account full. Obama has been lying like a rug to cover for his racist mentor. Is Obama deaf? How could anyone sit in a pew in that black liberation theology church and not hear that loudmouth blabber his hatred? Obama is lying.

REPRESENTATIVES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE "VOICES OF THE PEOPLE" IN ALL STATES. IF OUR REPS DON'T SPEAK FOR US --- WE NEED TO VOTE THEM OUT IN NOVEMBER!

OBAMA HAS BASED HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN ON LIES. WE HAVE 50 STATES --- NOT 48 --- COUNT THEIR VOTES!

OBAMA'S TIES TO ANTI-AMERICANS AND TERRORISTS WILL NOT GO AWAY.

HE DENOUNCED PASTOR WRIGHT "AFTER" HIS POLL NUMBERS DROPPED. HE SUPPORTED WRIGHT FOR 20 YEARS. SAT IN CHURCH WITH HIS CHILDREN, LISTENING TO SPEWS OF HATRED AND "GOD DAMN AMERICA".

I'M A SMALL-TOWN AMERICAN WHO IS NOT BITTER BUT I DO BELIEVE IN GOD.

OBAMA CANNOT BE TRUSTED --- STOP THE DRAMA --- NO OBAMA!

HILLARY OR McCAIN 2008! VOTE FOR COUNTRY --- NOT PARTY!
