Orly Taitz Smacked Down: Birther Lawsuit Dismissed

America and unfortunately we the worse is yet to come - Obama. If you think he's your salvation, look again. He will not deliver anything promised except socialism, higher taxes and big government.
~A~
That video gave me the chills....
5 Pinnochios for your lies Palin. You are a disgusting person to be added to women's achievements all these decades. Fire your arsenal in Alaska so you can get more foreign policy experience to deal with Medvedev and Putin. That is, if you have a career after the elections. That goes for Joe lying Liebermann.
Also, the only person who witnessed his supposed torture was himself. He's already been caught in one lie on that front.

McCain isn't only desperate- He's CRAZY

This article from the Huffington Post reports on Liddy's expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/05/g-gord...
McCain needs to be asked if he "denounces and rejects" Liddy's endorsement and whether he's going to return this criminal's substantial contributions to his campaign.
McCain says he learned his lesson from the Keating 5. But he hasn't even learned to avoid getting caught. See that photo of McCain boarding the yacht of a now-convicted Italian con man and the reports of McCain's dealings with shady Russian oligarchs to take over the economy of Montenegro (where the yacht photo was taken).

I am recently became an American Citizen and I am still learning the English language.
My mother use to say:
"The worse blind is the one which does not want to see".
The sad thing about all this situation (Presidential Elections 2008) is that…after all is done… (Obama wins)…people are gone say: What happened? I was so sure!
He sounded so good!
To good to be true!
This is what I have to say...To much talk...Who is him? Do you really know Obama? Two years in the Senate…campaigning…that’s all!
Promises…He says what people want to hear!
We all gone pay a very high price for this big mistake we (you) are getting yourselves in…
Open your eyes people!
Study the situations…get informed…Don’t believe in promises!
Look at the person! Their precedent…
Don’t you know that “were there’s smoke there’s fire?”
We should be more prudent with our choices…
We leave in a very dangerous world…very dangerous…
Look at the history of this world!
We are all living in a “lalala” world, not taking in consideration that bad people are out there, and they are planning right now, as we speak, to kill us!
Even if it takes 100 years…They will succeed!
And do you want to know why!
JUST BECAUSE WE CHOOSE TO BE BLIND…AND DEAF!
BE CAREFUL…AND… GOOD LUCK!
God bless you all!
You either work for the Mcsame campaign , or ur an Idiot. Either one makes you a DICK!
You should try reading more, it' will help your writing. Honestly, I don't believe you are from another country. I think you’re a Republican who lacks writing skills to match your undeveloped reading skills. Case in point, if you would pick up a newspaper, you would understand that Obama was a State Senator before coming to Washington. He (Obama) has been in the game for over 10 years. Nevertheless, good shot at trying to pass yourself off as a foreigner to mask your underdeveloped writing skills. You should be siding with Obama to support our public education system. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Reframe from posting comments until you have educated yourself on the issue under discussion, or post question where someone can assist you with factual information.
Obviously you are only believing what you hearm abd have apprently chosen to be dumb and blind, too You have not studied.. You need to have the good sense to research before you make statements you assume to be true. Obama had several years in the Illinois State Senate prior to coming to the U.S. Senate. He has drafted and worked on legislaiton to aide our veterans who were paying for meals and telephone calls home while in VA Hospitals. There are numerous who can tell you how Barack Obama worked hard and diligently to better their lives when there was no cameras on him. He worked several years in the trenches of less fortunate neighborhoods. McCain on the other hand has lived a life of privilege and only chosen to support the rich, large companies and his cronies. He is a mean-spirited spoiled brat who never put either wife, family, nor country before his own greed and ambition. He has an uncontrollable temper and should never be in charge of anything or anyone. Additionally, he should be labled a traitor for what he did while a POW.
ANYONE STILL BELIEVES THAT CROCK?
After all that, your post makes no sense in any language.
One would have to be blind and deaf to believe that you are a new American citizen who is still learning the English language. Fraud is not the right line of work for you.
When he loses this race just watch what happens to Sarah - I'll bet she will wish she had never heard of John McCain. After he is through with her Alaska may not want her either! She may just have to out and field dress moose for a living.
Palin and McCain seem to want power for its own sake. What do they want to achieve with that power?

Is this the start of Hanoi Hilton Guests for Truth?
and that lying faker we call palin. can she crawl back into the hole she came out of? her vile smears and lies make me feel so dirty I need to go take a shower.
"Uh, I, I just have to rely on the good judgment of the voters not to buy into these negative attack ads. Sooner or later, people are going to figure out if all you run is negative attack ads you don't have much of a vision for the future or you're not ready to articulate it."
[Senator McCain during The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, 2/21/2000]
McCain's own wife was convicted of drug charges let alone his other associations.
worked his way through an Ivy League school with only merit--NOT race-based--scholarships and heavy loans;
who studied Constitutional Law for a decade;
who was active in community organizing and other means to improve life for the mostly poor people around his area and continued those goals as a leader;
who read the Intelligence report BEFORE passing the judgment that the available information and our military experts demanded, AGAINST the Iraq War-enabling legislation;
who has supported the troops in nearly every piece of legislation they needed, while McCain has consistently voted against their needs, even though he didn't believe in that war;
whose policies have been advocated by most experts and are dredited as being exactly what is needed to fix the economy, to keep this disaster from happening again, and even--had the Republicans permitted such changes--to have prevented or severely minimized our current economic crisis.
I thought you might simply be unaware of how black churches encourage pride in their culture, stoke activism in politics to improve race and culture issues in our nation, and work in the community to make it a more positive and enabling environment.
That maybe you didn't know that patriotism requires admitting what a nation has done wrong as well as supporting its good acts.
That perhaps you hadn't yet learned that Obama wasn't present for his pastor's rants that were seen as over the line, nor did he espouse or teach any violence, hatred, or race-based aggrandizement.
That you might simply not be aware that Obama's "relationship" with a criminal was the relationship of a home buyer to a dealer who was not known to him beorehand and gave him NO special price, and that the terrorist who is supposedly Obama's friend was merely a neighbor who served--alongside many others--in organizations Obama worked with in getting help to poor children and school programs.
Then, I read your last line and realized you simply can't stand a black man to have any degree of power, not even over the fate of stray dogs, let alone over yourself. Now, I hope you're just a racist with no intention of educating yourself about the untruth of things that make you feel vindicated in letting your bigotry keep you from even considering Obama's qualifications.
THIS is the ONLY reason any racism cards are pulled by any Obama supporters--because people like you dismiss Obama's extensive and highly relevant experience, education, and governing and policy successes WITHOUT EVEN LEARNING ABOUT THEM, and refuse to bother looking into this history while at the same time believing every scandalous and repeatedly-proven-false email or news report about nonexistent dangerous elements of his past.
Maybe you don't care enough about our nation enough to take the few moments to review Obama's record, how consistently he has been proven right in his policy choices and stances, how his advocacy of the very plans deemed best able to dig us out of our hole and prevent it from happening again has been constant and highly supported by experts.
Maybe you are so full of hatred and bigotry--or just so unfamiliar with the English language--that you believe it's unpatriotic of a black woman to say that seeing a strong, capable, and qualified black man running for president--her husband--made her VERY PROUD of America for the FIRST TIME IN HER ADULT LIFE.
Maybe none of that's any excuse, because a GOOD CITIZEN of a democratic republic would base their vote not on their own race-based discomfort or refusal to challenge an innate sense of superiority or anything else that is mere distraction--a PATRIOT would base his or her vote and assessment of candidate qualifications on facts, on candidate policy and judgment and record, on the important issues and candidates' intentions regarding them, and most of all, on the needs of our nation.
And what democracy would want, as a citizen with voting rights, somebody who lets prejudice and rumor decide their vote without bothering to learn the truth about the candidate they disparage?
McCain loses both ways. Republican agenda must stop!
So no we do not know anything about this man. I am a registered Democrat and I never imagined. But the one thing that really bothers me is his District in Chicago and what happened while state senator. You say you know him. My question to you is WHAT IS HIS ACCOMPLISHMENT? WHAT HAS HE DONE CAN YOU NAME ONE? WELL IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WATCH THE VIDEO AND SEE IF THIS IS REALLY WHAT YOU WANT
THAT IS MY CHALLENGE TO YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO THINK YOU KNOW THIS MAN.
Obama's forgotten people: his district in chicago I WATCH THIS EVERYDAY TO CONTINUE TO TELL PEOPLE WHO HE REALLY IS AND IT IS NOT WHAT WE THINK
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjkH8NEoOUY WHILE THERE CHECK OUT OBAMA'S HISTORY IN CHICAGO
My challenge to you is go do your research on Palin and her issues because a vote for Mccain as president is the same as voting for Palin as president because McCains actions shows his health is not good.
These are desperate tactics from a desperate and bitter old man and a now dying campaign. He is no "maverick" and certainly no hero. This dimwitted sidekick Palin embodies all of the things that American women have fought against for 40 years: bigotry, ignorance, violence, anti-reproductive rights and superficiality. We do not choose our leaders based on what lies between the legs but what is contained in the mind and heart, your shameful political move was wasted on me and on all of my female (and male!) friends.
I cannot even watch them speak, I simply change the channel or turn off the TV.

Even if you only accept a small part of this investigative report, after this you will understand the duplicitous and mischievous construct of John McCain's campaign.
To all the Republicans out there, surely you cannot aspire to let this ticket reach the White House, it would be cause for reckless endangerment of your fellow citizens to facilitate such an outcome. Surely those who are proud of the values and traditions of this badly Bush/Cheney battered party cannot further discredit their heritage with the spectacle offered. It is sad the campaign has focused to theatrics versus content, it is McCain's choreography. Win or loose this election it will get worse in the hope that the truth about his past remains out of the public eye.
He clearly did not learn the important lesson that deregulation of the S&L industry cost Americans their pensions and savings.
The same push to deregulate has cost us $700 billion so far in this ruination.
McCain did not learn anything important form that scandal that al ost cost him everything.
I think that it should have cost him everything.
