I hope the GOP believes what you say here; I hope so too, because I don't see how McCain will win even with my vote. Those "moderates" who "voted" for him will stuff their ballots for Obama in the fall.

because Obama is a man with a silver tongue , a coat of silk and a heart of steel, watch out. Sounds more like a description of the Anti-Christ than a presidential candidate........ He's no different that the rest of the Democratic party... A bankrupt idealist trying to force a radical socialist agenda on America under the guise of fairness. When will you guys learn, America wasn't founded on fairness. The word "fair" never appears in the Constitution and yet the Dems platform is all about what is fair.......

Obama Served On Board That Funded Pro-Palestinian Group Teh Jewish Press ^ \| Feb. 27, 2008 \| Aaron Klein Posted on 02/27/2008 10:42:09 PM PST by FocusNexus Democratic presidential frontrunner Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director on the board of a nonprofit organization that granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a "catastrophe." The co-founder of the Arab group, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, is a harsh critic of Israel who reportedly worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization when it was labeled a terror group by the State Department. Khalidi held a fundraiser in 2000 for Obama's failed bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Although AAAN co-founder Rashid Khalidi has at times denied working directly for the PLO, he reportedly served as director of the official PLO press agency WAFA in Beirut from 1976 to 1982, a period during which the PLO committed scores of anti-Western attacks and was labeled by the U.S. as a terror group. While the Woods Fund's contribution to Khalidi's AAAN might be perceived as a one-time contact with Obama, there is evidence of a deeper relationship between the presidential hopeful and Khalidi. According to a professor at the University of Chicago who said he has known Obama for 12 years, the senator first befriended Khalidi when the two worked together at the university. The professor spoke on condition of anonymity. Khalidi lectured at the University of Chicago until 2003; Obama taught law there from 1993 until his election to the Senate in 2004. Khalidi said he supports Obama for president "because he is the only candidate who has expressed sympathy for the Palestinian cause."
