Who Has The Character And Judgement To Be Our President, You Decide!

YOU DECIDE!!

The following information is provided to voters
by the National Black Republican Association.
Excellent and very informative.

Obama The Radical
*National Review:
"Obama has the most liberal voting record in the
US Senate." When we look beyond Senator Barack
Obama’s soaring rhetoric, we find an arrogant,
elitist millionaire whose voting record is even
more liberal than Senator Hillary Clinton.

* Obama’s radical associations reflect on his
character and judgment. Obama established a
20-year relationship with Rev. Jeremiah Wright
who damned his own country and declared that
innocent Americans deserved to be killed by
Jihadists on September 11, 2001. Obama has a
longtime association with Underground
Weatherman Bill Ayers, an unrepentant
domestic terrorist. Obama also kept a 20-year
relationship and made a shady real estate deal
with Tony Rezko who was convicted of fraud.

* Obama opposes school choice scholarships.
Obama puts the special interest of the teachers’
unions above the interest of poor black children
trapped in failing schools. He wants to deny black
parents school choice scholarships and calls
successful charter schools a mere “experiment”.

* Obama has done little to help blacks.
Obama claims to care about poor blacks, but he
has a dismal record. He promises to raise the
minimum wage, but he voted against the
minimum wage bill that was finally passed in
Congress. Obama was a “community organizer”
in Chicago. If his messianic message of “Hope”
and “Change” is so powerful, why are poor blacks
in Chicago still poor? Socialism does not work.

* Obama supports anti-God secularists.
Obama is aligned with left-wing secularists who
are suing the Boy Scouts because they have God
in their pledge and refuse to let homosexual men
be in charge of young boys. The secularists are
also stopping children from saying prayers in
school, preventing local governments from
displaying religious symbols and pushing samesex
marriage against the will of the people.
Obama opposes the Defense of Marriage Act, a
law that allows state governments to refuse to
recognize same-sex marriages performed in other
states. This law was passed by Congress in 1996
and signed by former President Bill Clinton.

* Obama is the most radical, pro-abortion
candidate in our nation’s history. Obama is so
pro-abortion that, as an Illinois state senator, he
refused to support legislation to provide health
care to babies who survived late-term abortions.
In a cold-blooded speech on the Illinois Senate
floor, Obama said that he did not want to
recognize as “persons” babies born fully outside
their mothers' wombs, even with their hearts
beating and lungs heaving. This is chilling.

* Obama is weak on national security. Obama
wants to go backwards, treat terrorist atrocities as
a crime and do nothing until after Americans are
killed. The Jihadists declared war on America in
the 1980’s and attacked us numerous times—
including the bombing of the World Trade Center,
first in 1993 and again in 2001. Obama wants to
hand the terrorists a victory and let them have an
oil-rich country from which to attack us at will.

* Obama ignores the facts that Congress
authorized President George W. Bush to go to
war in Iraq, and the surge pushed by McCain is
working. Obama refuses to acknowledge that the
Clinton Administration’s policy was regime
change in Iraq, and Bill Clinton and his advisers
said Saddam Hussein had WMDs. Bush took
the terrorists’ declaration of war seriously, fought
back, and we have had no more attacks on
America since September 11, 2001.

* Obama opposed the surge in Iraq which has
now proved highly successful—a fact that Barack
Obama ignores. He is unreasonably tied to a yearold
plan to rapidly withdraw all American troops
from Iraq—a plan offered when he wrongly
believed that the situation in Iraq would get worse
with American troops in that country.

* Obama has not visited Iraq since January 2006
and did not seek a meeting with our military
commander, Gen. David Petraeus, when he was in
Washington. Since Obama has no military service
experience, he does not understand veterans or
military issues. His foreign policy adviser,
Richard Danzig, said on national television that
the cartoon character “Winnie the Poo” is a good
source for foreign policy. This would shame us.

* Obama wants to raise taxes. Obama wants to
raise taxes even above the levels of the Clinton
era. Obama wants to tax poor people, dead people
and small business people. He wants to raise the
payroll tax that would hurt working people. He
wants to raise the death tax that would tax average
Americans twice--once while they are alive and
again after they die. He wants to raise the capital
gain tax that would make many small business
people go out of business. He wants to increase
domestic spending massively and create a costly
healthcare plan that would plunge our government
into an economically disastrous budget deficit.
This is change that we do not need.

* Obama wants to raise gas prices higher.
Obama said on CNBC that high gas prices were
“good,” and his only concern was that the increase
in price be a “gradual adjustment.” He does not
want to drill for oil in America. He does not
support the federal “gas tax holiday” that would
help poor people afford more gas. He is aligned
with the environmental extremists and is out of
touch with average Americans, since 73% of the
American people agree that, with appropriate
safeguards to protect the environment, we should
drill for oil off America's coasts to reduce our
dependence on foreign oil. Obama and other
Democrats in Congress are blocking drilling by
America while the Communist regimes of
China and Cuba collude to exploit the oil and
gas resources off our own Gulf Coast.

* In 2006 when the Democrats took over
Congress, they issued a press release which stated
that the Democrats had a “common sense plan to
reduce gas prices.” The report card is in, and the
record shows that by 2008, Americans have
suffered from record high gas prices, the highest
in the history of our country. A June 6, 2008
NBC/Wall Street Journal public opinion survey
revealed that the Democratic-controlled Congress
has a dismal 13% job approval rating, with 79%
of the American people expressing disapproval of
the miserable job that Democrats are doing
running the legislative branch of our government.

* Obama is a hypocrite. Obama calls for a
“new” kind of politics but his record is filled with
promises broken for political expediency. He
broke his promise on campaign funding. He said
he wants to speak directly to the American people,
then rebuffed McCain's bid for weekly townmeeting
debates. Obama also skipped the Detroit
Debate organized by the Congressional Black
Caucus, but castigated McCain for his decision to
skip the Morgan State Debate.

* Obama recently wrote a letter of support for
former Klansman Democrat Senator Robert Byrd
who helped the racist Democrats smear Dr. King
during the 1960’s. Yet McCain is assailed for not
voting to make the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. a holiday, after McCain returned home
from being tortured as a prisoner of war and relied
on negative information Democrats put out about
Dr. King—a vote McCain now regrets. No
recognition is given to Republican President
Ronald Reagan who supported and signed the law
making Dr. King’s birthday a holiday, after
Democrat Presidents, including former President
Jimmy Carter, refused to support such a law.


McCain The Statesman

* McCain is a man
of courage and integrity. Senator John McCain is a
war hero who was tortured as a prisoner of war
while serving his country with honor and distinction.
He has championed campaign finance reform and
has a proven record of ensuring that legislators and
policy makers put the interests of the American
people above those of special interests. In spite of
efforts of his detractors to tarnish his image, McCain
remains a champion of the people, and his long voting
record demonstrates his sound judgment.

* Notably, in its final November 20, 1991 report,
the Senate Select Committee on Ethics completely
exonerated Senator McCain's conduct in the socalled
"Keating Five" investigation. The Ethics
Committee wrote: "Senator McCain has
violated no law of the United States or specific
Rule of the United States Senate; therefore, the
Committee concludes that no further action is
warranted with respect to Senator McCain on the
matters investigated during the preliminary
inquiry."

* McCain supports black political and
economic equality. McCain supports policies that
are better for urban communities because his
policies are based on helping the poor with a hand
up, not a hand out. His philosophy is founded on
the fact that if you give a man a fish, he will eat
for a day, but if you teach a man how to fish, he
will feed himself for a lifetime. In addition to the
$500 billion that is spent each year on poverty
programs, McCain wants to enact policies that
encourage personal responsibility and bring an
end to the failed socialist policies of the
Democrats which foster dependency on
government handouts and generational poverty.

* McCain supports school choice scholarships.
McCain supports quality education for blacks. He
sides with black parents who want school choice
scholarships, home schooling and charter schools.
He believes that competition is the key to success
in educating our children. He understands that if
educators concentrate on teaching well, the
passing of standardized tests will come naturally.
McCain believes that the tax payers’ money for
education belongs to the people, not the buildings
controlled by the teachers’ unions.

* McCain favors religious freedom in pubic
places. McCain voted yes to legislation that says
putting up religious symbols and praying on
public school campuses as part of a memorial
service does not violate the First Amendment to
the Constitution. The law also provides legal
assistance to any government entity defending
these religious freedoms. McCain supports
protecting the unborn and the Defense of
Marriage Act which helps preserve marriage as a
union between one man and one woman.

* McCain wants to lower taxes and gas prices.
McCain supports our free market economy based
on the principles of limited government and low
taxes for both families and small businesses.
These principles have led to America being the
most prosperous nation on earth. He advocates
promoting our nation’s economic prosperity
through sound economic policies and keeping gas
prices low. He supports the “gas tax holiday” and
offshore drilling while protecting our
environment. He supports constructing new
power generating facilities and developing new,
clean alternative energy sources like solar, wind
and clean coal, while expanding the use of nuclear
power.

* McCain supports a strong national defense.
McCain understands that the first obligation of
our president is the safety and security of this
nation and the men and women who defend it. He
has the military experience, judgment and
principled leadership to be our Commander in
Chief. McCain advocated the surge strategy in
Iraq that has been hugely successful. Violence is
down enormously, and the Iraqi parliament has
passed almost all of the "benchmark" legislation
demanded by the Democratic Congress. McCain
knows that we have enemies for whom no attack
is too cruel, even on innocent life. The Jihadists
would, if they could, strike us with the world’s
most terrible weapons. McCain is a proven leader
who has the character and judgment to president.

THE ANSWERS TO THIS QUIZ ARE ALL 'B'

Which Candidate Is Best For African Americans?

The following information comes directly from a copy NBRA
Newsletter, (National Black Republican Association) sent to me
personally by Frances Rice, Chairman. This is an outstanding
newsletter, one that should be read by everyone.

In his "I Have a Dream" speech, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said:
"I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a
nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but
by the content of their character."
Character is defined as the essence of a person and determines a
person’s judgment, or what a person will do when no one is
looking. Dr. King’s admonishment is relevant during this 2008
election, and black Americans should evaluate the candidates
based on competence to be our Commander in Chief, not skin color.
~~~
We need the right president, not just a black president.

The Democratic Party Today
● Democrats are liberals who have been running black communities
for the past 40 years with socialist policies that have turned black
communities into economic and social wastelands. Black Democrat
Juan Williams exposed the deplorable conditions in black
communities in his book “Enough: The Phony Leaders, Dead-end
Movements and Culture of Failure That Are Undermining
Black America.”

● Democrats oppose programs that will help blacks get out of
poverty, such as the Faithbased Initiative that would put
church-based social programs on an equal footing with secular
groups when competing for federal grants. Democrats oppose
school choice scholarships that would help black children get
out of failing schools. Democrats oppose Social Security reform
even though blacks lose $10,000 in the current system
because blacks have a five-year shorter life expectancy.
Democrats favor same-sex marriage and partial-birth abortion.

The Republican Party Today
● Since the War on Poverty of the 1960’s, over $7 trillion has
been spent on poverty programs. Under President George W.
Bush, record money has been spent on education, job training
and health care. Over $1.4 billion has been spent for overall
education - a record 137% increase, and $13.1 billion was spent
for the No Child Left Behind Act. Bush has also spent $18.8
million for Historically Black Colleges, $24 billion for small
business loans and grants, and $10 billion for Medicaid, the
state-federal health insurance for the poor. Since 2001, access
to free community health centers has been extended to 2.2
million poor people. In May 2003, Bush provided $15 billion,
three times more money than President Bill Clinton, to fight
AIDS in Africa and the Caribbean

● All Americans received tax cuts under Bush’s tax cut plan
108 million average families received $2,500. Over 3.8 million
more poor people were freed from the tax rolls entirely, and
poor blacks received an additional gift of $1,000 per child plus
$1,658 per family under the Earned Income Tax Credit
program. “Tax cuts for the rich” is a deceptive Democratic Party
talking point.

● Bush has appointed more blacks to high level positions than
any president in our nation’s history, including: Secretary of
State, National Security Advisor, Director of Personnel
Management, Assistant Attorney General, Chairman of the
FCC, Director of HUD, Secretary of Education, and Assistant
Secretary of Education. Republicans support merit-based
Affirmative Action as was started by President Richard Nixon
in 1969, not the Democrats’ unfair quota system of today.

● During Hurricane Katrina, the Democrats running New
Orleans and Louisiana failed blacks. Red Cross food was refused
by the Mayor, and over 1,000 buses were left in parking lots and
became ruined by the flood. The 1878 Posse Comitatus Act
prevents a president from sending federal troops to a state
without the governor’s consent. The Louisiana Governor denied
Bush consent for days. Democrats blocked Bush’s 2001 energy bill
which had $540 million for levee repairs.

● Republicans support school choice scholarships, protecting the
sanctity of life and preserving marriage as a union between one
man and one woman. Studies show blacks think conservative, but
vote liberal.
~~~
The Myth of Republican Racism

● Author Michael Scheuer revealed that the Democratic Party is
the party of the four S’s: Slavery, Secession, Segregation and now
Socialism. Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan, passed the Jim
Crow laws and fought very piece of civil rights legislation from the
1860’s through the 1960’s. For facts about racist Democrats, read
“A Short History of Reconstruction” by Dr. Eric Foner.

● From the founding of the Republican Party as the anti-slavery
in 1854 until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom
and equality for blacks. Republicans amended the Constitution to
grant blacks freedom, citizenship and the right to vote. Republicans
started the NAACP and HBCU’s. Republicans pushed to pass every
piece of civil rights legislation from the 1860's to the 1960's, including
the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the Reconstruction Act of 1867 that
were overturned by Democrats with the 1894 Repeal Act after they
took over Congress in 1892.

● Republican Senator Everett Dirksen from Illinois, not Democrat
President Lyndon Johnson, pushed through the civil rights laws of
the 1960’s. Dirksen was key to the passage of civil rights laws in 1957,
1960, 1964, 1965 and 1968. The chief opponents of the 1964 Civil
Rights Act were Democrat Senators Sam Arvin, Albert Gore, Sr. and
Robert Byrd, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan who is still in
Congress. None of those racist Democrats became Republicans.

● Contrary to claims by Democrats today, the racist Democrats
remained Democrats and declared they would vote for a “yellow
dog” before a Republican because the Republican Party was the
party for blacks.

● Democrat Public Safety Commissioner Eugene "Bull" Connor in
Birmingham let loose dogs and fire hoses on blacks. South Carolina
Democrat Governor Ernest Hollings hoisted the Confederate Flag
over that state’s capitol. Democrat Georgia Governor Lester Maddox
waved ax handles to stop blacks from patronizing his restaurant. In
1954, Democrat Arkansas Governor Orville Faubus blocked
desegregation of a Little Rock public school. Democrat Alabama
Governor George Wallace stood in front of the Alabama schoolhouse
in 1963 and thundered, "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow,
segregation forever." None of these racist Democrats became
Republicans.

● Senator Barry Goldwater was a Libertarian, not a racist. Goldwater
was a member of the Arizona NAACP and helped desegregate the
Arizona National Guard. He supported the Civil Rights Acts of 1957
and 1960. He honestly believed that the more extensive 1964 Civil
Rights Act was an unconstitutionally grant of federal government
power over private citizens.

● President Richard Nixon’s 1970’s “Southern Strategy” began a
30-year odyssey to get fair-minded people in the South to stop
voting for racist Democrats who were discriminating against blacks.
Georgia finally switched in 2004. Louisiana has begun switching by
electing a man of color, Republican Bobby Jindal, as governor in
2007. Democrats were content when the racist South voted solidly
Democrat for 100 years, but now castigate Republicans because
some Southerners have gotten over their racial animosity and joined
Republicans in treating blacks fairly.

● Democrat Senator Christopher Dodd praised former Klansman
Senator Byrd as someone who would have been "a great senator
for any moment," including the Civil War. Yet, Democrats denounced
Senator Trent Lott for his remarks about Senator Strom Thurmond.
However, Senator Thurmond was never in the Ku Klux Klan
and, after he became a Republican, defended blacks against lynching
and iscriminatory poll taxes imposed on blacks by Democrats.

● Democrats do not mention that former Vice President Al Gore first
brought up the issue of Willie Horton against Massachusetts Governor
Michael Dukakis during the 1988 primary election. Notably, former
Republican G.H. W. Bush simply raised the Horton issue against
Dukakis during the general election.

Democrats Want to Sociali...I Mean Nationalize The Oil Companies!

I am amazed that a woman this blatantly stupid was ever elected into office. What in the name of common sense was anyone who voted for her thinking????????

Obama Wants To Disarm America

Well boys and girls, if this doesn't tell you that this guy has no clue, nothing he says or does will. I remember the old saying "never come to a gunfight armed with a knife" you won't win! So, we disarm, stop all efforts to keep our country and its inhabitants safe, tell the rest of the world that we are getting rid of our nuclear weapons and then what, stand back and wait for Obama to protect us with the water cannon he took from his kids?? Oh common, you have got to be kidding. I posted a quote a couple of days back, "It's only the warlike power of a civilized people that can give peace to the world" -- Theadore Roosevelt Our ability to crush anyone in the world who presented a threat to us is what made this country the superpower it once was, that is until the infamous Bill Clinton came along and pretty much disabled our military. Ever since, we have been considered to be less of a threat to the rest of the world, and then suddenly, we have passenger airliners crashing into buildings and killing thousands of people creating a war zone within the boundaries of our own country. Thousands died, and to this day it makes me sick to my stomach when I remember the images of the second airline crashing into the second tower, the explosion, the massive fireball, people falling and jumping from the buildings, and then the final climax, the buildings came crashing to the ground and more people on the ground died, including firefighters and police trying to do an impossible job of rescuing those trapped in a fiery prison. So in Obama's mind the best offense is a solid defense does not apply. In other words, we should throw down our arms and then put our hands in the air and yell "we surrender!" Is that what you are telling us you will do, comrade?? You disarm America, she can kiss her butt goodbye, what is going through this mans mind?? Again I tell you, it is Socialism and he will stop at nothing to see this goal achieved. Think about yourself living behind barbed wire wearing a gray and white stripped prison uniform....does that somehow appeal to you or anyone you know? It's only a matter of time, and maybe you won't see it in your lifetime, but your children and your grandchildren will. Would you intentionally inflict such horrors on your own family? I think people should take the time to watch Schindler's List, and take heed to the saying I have already posted here in posts past, history always repeats itself, and it can repeat itself anywhere in the world, not just in the place it happened the first time. This guy is a smooth talker, but other than the fact that he has the news media sniffing his leg like a dog looking for a place to do his business, this guy has nothing to offer that will ultimately do right for this country, and his plans to disarm her is, well, suicide!!
