Knowledge is power research CFR, NWO and you will find Obama and MCCain are traitors to our Constitution. Research Baldwin and Barr vote smart not for same old song and dance that is unless you want amnesty, martial law, union with Mexico and Canada.

Come on man, seriously? Barack Obama is not, has never been, and never will be a Muslim. I'm amazed that there are people out there that still say this. Knowledge is power, friend...maybe time for a little research? Obama '08

Who wants to hear Hillary? She is and always will be one big loser. She lost to a Muslim, like the current u.s. war on terrorism is doing.
