William 'Bill' Ayers

[The Chairman]

McCain and David Duke is not the issue...! Not yet...! Thats another thread...The issue is Obama and Ayres...to which...William Ayres is now a professor in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, holding the title of Distinguished Professor at the age of 63.

The educational institutions in America dictate what is being taught in their schools and universities and not the teachers and professors...! As long as students attend his classes and the university doesnt dismiss him...hes working within the law as far as im concerened.

As for security clearance...? Vice president Biden would have the same authorisation...!

I put two sentences from my 2:27AM post above in bold, which you didn't respond to. If McCain was buddy buddy with David Duke, there is nothing wrong with that, unless he is running for President. There is nothing wrong with trying to improve education, unless it is tainted with your own personal political agenda.

obama would not be able to get ANY important federal position, except President. This is because he would NOT get a security clearance due to his past history. Ironically, as President he will have access to America's most trusted information. McCain and an unbiased media should be the ones to point that out. borderline radical President with America's closely guarded information - that is frightening.

Hey Ben,

I forgot to mention on that other thread where I posted, just for the record, I cannot understand this FEAR you have that you keep mentioning about Obama. Based on what I know about Obama, even when including some of the links you posted here, and what I know of how our government works, checks and balances, I don't get it......it just does not compute.

FWIW ................LY

The real issues are the wars & economy not some 65 year old asshole who Obama barely knows

Don't know why the Democrats aren't beating the Republicans over the head with Sarah Palin's right extremism and I think phony self indulgent fundamentalist religious fanaticism

[mogadishu]

I wouldn't know how well Obama really knows Ayers. I do recall, however, that he implied he didn't really know the man who helped buy his house for him, when rezko was convicted . Do you really believe that?

[azraelle]

BTW McCain is still a proud buddy of Gordon Liddy, felon, who used to advise his radio audiences on the best way to kill ATF agents.

Can't see anything wrong here!

Anyone who does should read John Ross' Unintended Consequences before putting their feet in their mouths any further.

'Nuff said.

I do recall, however, that he implied he didn't really know the man who helped by his house for him, when rezko was convicted . Do you really believe that?

No ! That's how they do things up there for better or worse.

Not so bad though when you consider the fact McSame is a admitted philanderer and bush's administration at least the defense department is full of israeli spys/neocoons

No, I do not believe obama. The Chicago paper doesn't believe obama either:

If associations are so important to you, why not take a good look at Palin's associations with Vogler, Chryson and other members of the Alaska Independence Party who have sworn to separate from the United States of America. Listen to what Chryson has said on the record about their intentions and the depth of Palin's association with them. Once you have done that come back and tell me with a straight face and a clean heart that you beileve she is better for the country than Obama/Biden. In the meantime I will be praying to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob through His son Jesus Christ that you will see the truth and it will set you free from all the hate you are bound up in.

[Big Ben]

If obama were running against Palin, we'd have a tough choice, eh? But he's not. He's running against John McCain for president.

[Lena]

But Palin is the VP so it counts and considering how McCain is 72-73 and doesn't look too healthy she stands a huge chance of being president .............

[Big Ben]

If obama is elected, there is a 100% America will have an inexperienced, unqualified president.

If McCain is elected, there is a very, very small chance that Palin will be president.

I'll take my chances with McCain.

Integrity is not important to everyone. Sad, but too true.

That story is almost two years old and has no effect on Obamas presidential campagn...and it was given to the press by an Obama spokesman!

[The Chairman]

If obama is elected, there is a 100% America will have an inexperienced, unqualified president.

If McCain is elected, there is a very, very small chance that Palin will be president.

I'll take my chances with McCain.

Maybe the rules should be changed in the qualifications and experience of candidates for president...Obviously being a Senator is a job for a 10 yr old..!

integrity |inˈtegritē|
noun
1 the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness : he is known to be a man of integrity.

Integrity is a word I would hesitate to use with any politician, let alone with any of the candidates for the US election...

It must be remembered that politicians are always on the bottom - along with lawyers, bankers, mortgage brokers, used car salesmen, realtors, journalists and property developers - when lists of various occupations standings in the community, or of their ethical and moral standards, are regularly published..
