| If you haven't figured it out yet by reading this thread then you are hopeless and I certainly won't waste my time trying to explain it. |

Even al Queda endorses McCain. They want the wars to continue and expand so that we can extend ourselves even more and bring our country closer to economic collapse. That is their goal. They know Obama will work to end the "skirmishes" where McCain will only expand them and rattle sabers with Iran.
Again....someone please explain to me why any thinking blue collar worker would be a republican because you are the last thing they care about. It's all for the big corporations and they chortle as you continue to buy into the trickle down theory which in very recent events shows just what a farce it is.
Say it with me..... "President Obama". Nice ring to it huh?
Get used to it. | al Queda is saying that in hopes it will cause him to lose and a weaker less determined Government will get in and they can rebuild like they did in the Clinton years and regain strength.

WASHINGTON — Al-Qaida supporters suggested in a Web site message this week they would welcome a pre-election terror attack on the U.S. as a way to usher in a McCain presidency.
The message, posted Monday on the password-protected al-Hesbah Web site, said if al-Qaida wants to exhaust the United States militarily and economically, "impetuous" Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain is the better choice because he is more likely to continue the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"This requires presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain, who pledged to continue the war till the last American soldier," the message said. "Then, al-Qaida will have to support McCain in the coming elections so that he continues the failing march of his predecessor, Bush."
SITE Intelligence Group, based in Bethesda, Md., monitors the Web site and translated the message.
"If al-Qaida carries out a big operation against American interests," the message said, "this act will be support of McCain because it will push the Americans deliberately to vote for McCain so that he takes revenge for them against al-Qaida. Al-Qaida then will succeed in exhausting America till its last year in it."
Mark Salter, a senior McCain adviser, said he had heard about the Web site chatter but had no immediate comment.
The message is credited to a frequent and apparently respected contributor named Muhammad Haafid. However, Haafid is not believed to have a direct affiliation with al-Qaida plans or knowledge of its operations, according to SITE.
SITE senior analyst Adam Raisman said this message caught SITE's attention because there has been little other chatter on the forums about the U.S. election.
SITE was struck by the message's detailed analysis _ and apparent jubilation _ about American financial woes.
"What we try to do is get the pulse of the jihadist community," Raisman said. "And it's about the financial crisis."
Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden issued a videotape just four days before the 2004 U.S. presidential election directly addressing the American people. |

Franklin I hate to break the news to ya pal, but the majority of America does not take the advice of terrorists on who is best for this country.
They have one angle and one angle only and that angle is to get the government that offers the least resistance to their efforts elected, and they think America is stupid enough to vote for the opposite of what they want automatically, United States have POUNDED them and they want a little break in the action.
