The fine folks at James Dobson’s Focus on Family put out a video (that they then removed from their website) asking for torrential downpours for Obama’s speech tonight.  Funny, as it turns out that such weather is a possiblity for next week at the Republican Convention.

We all know that God listens to James Dobson.  He’ll create the downpours all right.  But God is going to do it His way.

Alan,

Your mother didn’t dress you very well tonight. That black and gray
striped suit with the short lapel is only a hundred years out of style!
Your taste in clothes and politics is a perfect match.

I see you on H & C.

I don’t know how Sean can stand you.

I perceive you as a marxist, socialist, communist-thinking man who has an anti-American answer for everything.

I’ve heard you say we are all God’s children……WRONG.

We are God’s creation, but until you are born again by the precious blood of Jesus you are not his child.

You know little about God and salvation………………you know about religion which is totally different.

How can you defend baby-killing and these horrible abortions……………….it’s murder, pure and simple.

If you had a wife and she was pregnant….and your baby was 3 months along, let’s say…..

If the doctors said we can take the baby and save him/her………………you wouldn’t do it??

Your own child………………sure you would…….how do you sleep defending the aclu and

Others that are anti-American?

God loves the sinner, but He hates sin…………abortion is murder, He hates homosexuality, but not the person.

He didn’t make them gay and they weren’t born that way.

Obama is a forerunner of the anti-Christ………………read your Bible and listen to what is being said.

Obama is opening the door for the beast and the 2 false prophets to rise up.

The time is short and I hope you see the Light, before it’s too late.

Thanks again

Alan,

It’s a good thing we will likely never meet in person…if I ever met you on
the street you’d get your butt kicked.

I heard you call Texas a weak state this evening. By God, if there’s red blood in my body, Texas is the greatest state in this nation! This nation of Texas is the most distinct of any regular state. We even have the right to secede at will. Our flag flys at the same height as the American flag. Our state capitol is taller than the American capitol.

Insult us, and you will get many an enemy, you idiot!

Dan,

I didn’t say Texas is a weak state. What I said was that it is weak in terms of the power of the governor. The separation of powers works differently in every state, and I was referring to the relationship between the variou branches of government. It’s interesting to note that your way of dealing with a perceived slight is not to try to understand the person on the other side, but rather to threaten to beat him up and then call him names. That is a very good lesson to teach our children, isn’t it?

Alan Colmes,

I just want you to know that I respect the fact you are a Democrat but I want you to know that God still loves you. I am a very strong Republican and I believe in pro life. How can you truly be a Christian and vote for Obama that believes in killing Born Alive Babies? I would really like to know? Just think about that.

God still loves you.

Psalm 136:2
Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever.

I really enjoy watching Hannity & Colmes every night! Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Jessica

Jessica,

God loves me even though I’m a Democrat? That just shows how wonderful God is. Also, it’s kind of amazing, given how Obama wants to kill babies, that he allowed his two daughters to live, isn’t it?

And Cheney would have accepted.  He would have chosen Donald Rumsfeld as part of his national security team as well.  McCain said in 2001, “I think this is the strongest team…in terms of national security…that we’ve ever had.

From The Daily Show

The head of the Snohomish County, WA Republican party had to apologize Tuesday when they got caught selling three dollar bills mocking Obama in Arab headgear and featuring a camel, at their fair booth.  The lovely creation also has mock signatures of Al Sharpton as “New Spiritual Advisor”  and “Teddy” Kennedy “Chief Socialism Advisor”.    Party officals blame volunteers and claim this does not represent the views of the party, itself.

Besides, if you’re going to do a “three dollar bill” joke, doesn’t that connote something entirely different?

We’ve heard enough lies about him.  The Obama-haters paint George Obama as an abandoned and embittered family member, in attempt to portray Barack and a neglectful brother.  The truth is, they met only once, and George Obama is proud of his half-brother.  And, he is doing well in life with no resentments toward the man he hopes will be the next president of the United States.

“Life in Huruma is good. In other places you must lock yourself in to keep yourself safe,” he told The Times. “Here I am surrounded by friends and family and feel safe and secure.”

…He said that he was furious at subsequent reports that he had been abandoned by the Obama family and that he was filled with shame about living in a slum. “It seems there are people who want to destroy me and my family,” he said.

“They say I live on a dollar a month, but this is all lies by people who don’t want my brother to win.”

Rudy Giuliani is correct in this clip that Ronald Reagan spoke on the first day of the 1988 convention.  But he snarkily suggests that Bill Clinton won’t get a prime time spot tonight in Denver.  Clinton is due to speak in the 9PM ET hour which, as far as I know, is prime time.

Here is the statement put out by the McCain campaign after Hillary Clinton’s Tueday night speech:

 
“Senator Clinton ran her presidential campaign making clear that Barack Obama is not prepared to lead as commander in chief. Nowhere tonight did she alter that assessment. Nowhere tonight did she say that Barack Obama is ready to lead. Millions of Hillary Clinton supporters and millions of Americans remain concerned about whether Barack Obama is ready to be President.” —Tucker Bounds, spokesman John McCain 2008

So we will hear all day, all night, all convention, all GOP convention, that Hillary didn’t sell Barack Obama, from those who want Obama to lose.   And, if you are a Hillary suppoter who now wants  John McCain to appoint Supreme Court Justices, you’re kidding, right?
