Obama may have a problem.

If it turns out that Sen. Obama has a verifiable role in some kind of corruption scheme, he will not get my vote.

I can hold my nose and vote for Sen. McCain-- I'm not that drunk on any candidate's kool aid.

The WHOLE reason why Sen. Obama is so apealing to me has a lot to do with the fact that he is NOT just another politician.


I really want to see what comes of this.

If you're referring to my post... the link was in response to tstew's question:

I answered in the affirmative, and provided a link to Fatimah Ali's article. She didn't merely predict rioting if McCain wins, but a full fledged race war. (I provided the direct quote there in my post also.)

There could be absolutely nothing to it or it could be the beginning of the end for B. Hussein Obama..... and company.

In 1970, Congress passed the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1961-1968. At the time, Congress' goal was to eliminate the ill-affects of organized crime on the nation's economy. To put it bluntly, RICO was intended to destroy the Mafia.

I knew about that just didn't recognize it called RICO, but thanks for the heads up.

TR, with all due respect, I'm talking about real people, not some nut with a pen. You will find a quack to say just about anything. I'm seeing the majority of real people both black and white scoff at these remarks and see them as fear-mongering on one hand and posturing on the other. Personally, I doubt I would take anything Fatimah Ali of the Philadelphia Enquirer wrote seriously...and I doubt you or anybody else would either. I'm sure that this will be the first and only time that you or anyone else has quoted her. It's just that this particular extreme quote fits into the fear-mongering that some on the right have been putting out there. I'm sure that they will be looking to her in the future for insight on what will happen in our nation...not

Re: ACORN OBAMA and RICO

This ACORN stuff might be worse than the Ayers stuff for BO.
