This is the same woman who declared Dunkin' Donuts to be sponsoring terrorism because Rachel Ray was wearing a paisley scarf in an ad.
This is the same woman who made up lies about a 12-year-old boy who suffered traumatic brain injury in order to make political points and send death threats to him and his family.
Are you sure you want to use her as a source since it is pretty much the case that she has never spoken the truth about anything?
Note: Your link no longer exists. The cynic in me would say that's because she realized that it was naught but a bunch of lies, but the even more cynical cynic in me knows that such a thing wouldn't stop her. Why let the truth get in the way of a good smear.

After my sister received a BS in metallurgical engineering from New Mexico Tech she applied to several universities for grad school. Two, Northwestern and UC Davis sent her an application for international students.
But I suppose she has the last laugh as she has been a project leader at Los Alamos National Laboratories since the 80s.
Keep up the good fight Rrhain, I'm rapidly getting burned out on the abject stupidity of some people who post here.

You might have more fun if you make a commitment to debate in good faith rather than be a troll. I am sure there are plenty of things we can disagree on honestly without resorting to distorting peoples arguments. Maybe the fact that you were the one to "bait" should make you think a little bit about who is trying to have an honest conversation here.
you can be honest and troll, i didn't use any fake data. what about devil's advocate?
Yea it might be off topic. But what is on topic is that I fundamentally disagree with you about national security. It was our fumbling of middle eastern relations that led to the rise of terror groups in the first place. We need a president who cares about our national image to prevent this from getting worse and to restore the confidence in our national pride to ensure that something like that doesn't happen in the future. John McCain pretty much has demonstrated that he is entirely incapable of doing this.
this i do not disagree with. im not voting for McCain, i thought i mentioned that already.
What gives you the impression that I could not be a conservative? I would be amazed if you could read so much from so little.
based on your statements i dont think you know what a conservative is.
What makes you think a conservative would have been "for" the War for Independence?
the anti-federalists were conservative.

Mexico is a country.
no shit!?!
I hope you have misread me, instead of trying to troll a troll. because:
"Thought you was gon' be spendin me I betcha think you sho' did
but game recognize game,
now you lame in the brain,
stupid bitch that's what you get for tryin to gold dig,"--Twista 1997 (focusing on the bolded text as i NOW realize you like to take me out of context and try to put words into my mouth and change my meaning around, I am not calling you a stupid bitch, nor lame in the brain. it was simply a quote to illustrate that game recognizes game.)
otherwise i have no idea what you are talking about. i think you are trying to take me out of context, so i will tell you what that was all about.
I was called a racist for saying mexico was bad. i stated mexico is a nation, and its people are mexican which is NOT A RACE, but a nationality. If i talked bad about Canadians would that be racist? of course not because Canadians is NOT A RACE either. because mexicans speak a different language than us does not make them a race.
from the US Census department (not sure whose definition you use, but im going by this one): "People of Hispanic origin may be of any race and should answer the question on race by marking one or more race categories shown on the questionnaire, including White, Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and Some Other Race. Hispanics are asked to indicate their origin in the question on Hispanic origin, not in the question on race, because in the federal statistical system ethnic origin is considered to be a separate concept from race." (U.S. Census Bureau: Page not found)
mexican is not a color, mexican is not always a mestizo. would you consider American a race?
ever heard of Dos Equis? IMO it is a really good mexican beer. originally brewed in veracruz, Mexico. by an Immgrant named Wilhelm Hasse (originally from Germany). sorry to break it to you, but not all mexicans are tan with dark hair and brown eyes.
strawmaning my geographical knowledge into insinuating i was talking about New Mexico, was either a misread, or a horrible try.

You have the gall to come here and proclaim that you know better what a man's religion is than he does.
Apparrently not only think that you know more about the "real Obama" than we do, you also claim to know more about him than he does.

The Gall!!! You rebuke me saying that only God knows your heart yet you claim to know the heart of Obama against his very own words an actions!!!
You chastise me from calling you a liar yet that is exactly what you are claiming Obama is by saying that he is lying about his religion!
Here is another Greek word for you.

*Blink* You did not just say that did you? This is a response for someone who just said he lives in New Mexico? We're in the freakin' year 2008 for chrissake. I can't believe there's still someone so ignorant of his own country. Speaking as an American, I'm embarrassed for you. Please cover your mouth when you talk. Apparently, ignorance is contagious.

Kill Whitey
I've been researching Obama for awhile now. And I actually liked the guy, and would have definitely voted for him over Hilary. I really can't pull the lever for McCain, which means that I might actually have to decide between a lesser of two evils.
As time goes on, it is more than evident that Obama and his wife have some serious identity issues that need to be resolved. What bothers me is that Michelle and Barrack harbor racist tendencies. First it was his church and his outrageous "pastor." Then it is the little comments made by both Michelle and Barrack. But now I've been reading from his books which manifest a deep-seated loathing.
But don't take my words for it. Obama will tell you himself.

“I know where I am and who I am. I'm on the brink of disillusionment, on the eve of bitter sweet. I'm perpetually one step away from either collapse or rebirth. I am exactly where I need to be. Either way I go towards rebirth, for a total collapse often brings a rebirth." -Andrew Jaramillo

I am not a big fan of Obama; however, those comments from his book are totally taken out of context and represent nothing but a partisan attempt to play the race card. Obama is/was giving an honest and candid assesment of race relations in America during the civil rights era.

That's what I thought at first too, until more and more coincidences came up. Obama clearly is both racially obsessed and horribly conflicted about his mixed identity. We all know which of the two he decided to choose, as if he had to make a choice to begin with.
I find it remarkable that somebody who grew up in segregation can see past the color of skin, while someone who has not holds a grudge on people solely on the basis of their skin tone. Secretary Rice grew up in segregated Alabama, and even had a friend of hers murdered by Klansman. She doesn't hold an universal grudge against all white people, as if all white people were representative of the bastard that killed her childhood friend.
Can't say the same thing for Obama, who, although chooses his words carefully in light of his candidacy, reserves a very cynical outlook. His wife is about a thousand times worse, and expects black people to vote for her husband on account of his blackness -- which is the very epitome of racism. Everyone else is a typical, white person. He claims not to want to make race a big deal, but the 2008 Democratic election was about both gender and race. Why should they have been about either?

I disagree with Buz on this issue I just wish it was only that bad.
But folks it is a lot worse than him being Muslim.
He sat for 20 years listening to the Right Reverend Wright spew his hate for whitey. He tithed thousands of dollars to support that message.
Give me a break he is a black supremacist, that makes Malcolm X look like a sunday school teacher.
Looking at the fruit.
But that is just my opinion.
