Some squirrels were questioning ACORN, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now that aims to register low- to moderate-income residents to give them power. ACORN has recently come under scrutiny that its workers have submitted fraudulent registrations.

Where are the McCain pictures?

Caught Obama in a lie. The nurse that cared for the aborted Down's baby in a laundry room testified to Congress against Obama's vote. Boy, he's smooth!

I admire the spirit and energy of youth. You remind me....of me.... when I was your age and when I supported Jimmy Carter for President. He had charisma, charm, and a great smile. But if you read your history books, just about the only good thing Carter did was Camp David. There is a real 'Pied Piper' effect going on in America! Peer pressure from the media, Hollywood liberals makes youth feel compelled to vote about someone they don't really understand. He just seems cool, and not old so people think they should vote for him. Obama has come so far center since he was nominated. He blames everyone else for the bad and takes credit and one-upsmanship for the good.

Denying Truth is a terrible sin, it drags down the whole country. The Supreme Court has made some wrong decisions in the past and Roe vs. Wade is just another one of them, Respecting ourselves and our fellow Human Beings on this planet is vital to our species to grow to full maturity, we must be accountable to our thoughts and actions, we must realize how serious it is that we not be irresponsible, A new US Constitutional Amendment needs to be adopted entitled The Personhood Amendment where it is recognized that the Unalienable Right ti Life is Vested in the Human Being at the moment of his/her conception.....The respect must be the first and basic Litmus Test philosophy any candidate must support so as to present themself as a worthy person to be a leader of a country like America which bears the motto, 'land of Truth and Justice' Obama is unworthy and voters have got to be mature and not deny truth, otherwise there is no hope for life
