Here's awesome news. Oahu had 52 sign-wavers fronting the mauka side of the Capitol on Beretania yesterday from 4p-6p.

Obama on Ellen Degeneres: I Dance better than McCain.

Reuters Oct. 21, 2008 reports

MIAMI - One thing Barack Obama does know — he can beat his Republican rival John McCain in a dancing contest. In an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show via satellite from Miami, Obama stood before a crowd of cheering supporters and showed off his dance moves to James Brown’s big hit Get Up Offa That Thing.

But I’m convinced I’m a better dancer than John McCain, he said about his 72-year-old rival in the race for the White House.

__________________________

That's probably true. But that’s because, unlike John McCain, Barack Obama has never learned the ropes.

7-year Hanoi POW Jerry Coffee explains the ropes torture he, McCain and other U.S. prisoners survived in North Vietnam’s Hoa Lo prison:

You’re sitting on the floor with your feet locked in an iron shackle. They (the Communist interrogators) tie your arms tightly behind you above the elbows. The long rope then is thrown over the front of your shoulders and tied to your ankles. Next, the guard pushes his foot into your back to cinch the rope so tightly that finally your ears are between your feet. The cartilage in your chest rips apart, your shoulders dislocate, and the circulation is cut off. Next, the rope is thrown over a big hook on the ceiling and you’re hoisted up where you hang like a tether ball for as long as they want you there. This doesn’t help your unhealed broken arms and legs. Ironically, the pain isn’t over after you’re finally cut down. When the blood starts to flow into your extremities, it’s excruciating. You can’t hold your spoon for days after.

Bad dancer John McCain learned the ropes after his ejection from a burning jet.

After he survived North Vietnamese doctors trying unsuccessfully to set one of his two shattered arms for 90 minutes …without anesthesia. After he survived both arms having to set themselves – at odd angles – in a filthy cell – in solitary. After he survived surgery on his shattered knee, during which - come to find out - the Communist docs had cut all the ligaments and cartilage.

Bad dancer John McCain learned the ropes after he survived a shoulder socket smashed beyond repair by a rifle butt. After he said No to early release. No to signing a propaganda statement. No to co-operating.

After learning the ropes bad dancer John McCain survived rehab on knees long frozen at a 5 degree flex and survived 8 months, two hours a day of manipulation mobilization therapy – without anesthesia - till they finally bent 90 degrees.

Being a better dancer than John McCain wouldn’t be much to boast about if Barack Obama were to ever learn the ropes.

McCain's versus Obama's Tax Plan

Obama Ties to Acorn

Courtesy of G Rethman Report:

"The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree...." These are Obama's own words at a rally a few days ago. Just another slip of the tongue from the junior Senator from Illinois?? Obama's ties to ACORN are a hot topic in recent days and the more you look the more you see. In fact, I think I've found something I agree with Obama on - the ACORN truly doesn't fall far from the tree! Here are Obama's ties to that radical, subversive group .... ACORN.

Funny thing - Obama's own website is actually lying about his involvement with this group. What a surprise. Read on ...

Can the ACORN story, Ayers, Rezko & Wright be enough for McCain to win this election? If the stock market stabilizes (it was up over 900 points today) Dick Morris thinks so. He's hardly ever wrong.

And considering what we know about Obama's lack of truthfulness regarding his involvement with ACORN, is it possible that he's received illegal campaign contributions? You decide:

New Media and PR contact

Welcome Patrick Leonard to the McCain Campaign. Patrick has extensive experience in media in Hawaii for over twenty years and we are thrilled to have him on board to be our media liaison.
Susan Page, who was formerly handling media and PR, is no longer officially with the campaign and will focus on writing her column in MidWeek, which she has done for 16 years.
He can be contacted at mccainhawaii2008@gmail.com .
Jerry Coffee, campaign chair, and Andy Blom, executive director, are also media contacts.

Aloha, Patrick!

Obama's Past Needs a Future

Bill Ayers: donor, mentor, bomber.

Ayers didn't just bomb once. He was quite a prolific bomber. Don't we miss the 70s? They may be back if we don't get McCain elected. Get the word out.

"Barack Obama has said that in no other country is his story even possible. Isn't that the truth! In what other country could a man who began his political career in the home of a terrorist rise to be on the edge of being elected the President. Alica Palmer, Obama's former political mentor .....read on ... "

Shedding LIght on the Radical Left & Obama

"He's so far to the left, it's impossible for him to reach across the isle." John McCain, Sept. 26 debate.

As everyone knows Barack Obama is not a moderate as he now tries to portray himself. If you read this article Barack Obama and the Strategy it will put Obama's liberal roots into perspective and answer so many of the questions about him we can't get answers to from our liberal media. This is a MUST READ. It will frustrate and infuriate you, but hopefully you'll send it to everyone you know asap. Also, if you want to make a difference, write letters to the editor using this info to all major and local small town newspapers in the battle ground states, plus USA Today, Time, Newsweek, and other major publications.
