Indiogirl-It's also his polictics and his inexperience. Plain and simple. At least McCain has tons of experience and history and Palin also has 16 years experience working in government.

It should ONLY BE about the politics and not the name thing Diva

sad fact: there are some people that will walk into their polling place in November and vote against obama ( notice I did not say for mccain) because he is black and/or because of his name. They would vote for anyone other than him not because of his politics but because of his color and name.

That is unAmerican and immoral.

Oh yeah, its also SCARY!!!!

Ok, enough of calling her a racist.

Our country has been repeatedly attacked by Muslim terrorists. There have been numerous articles and acquisitions of Obama being linked to terrorist. Little is known about his education as a youth in Indonesia. Obama wants to take some of our constitutional rights away (aka GUNS) This leads some to be leery of Obama's intentions for our country. Also, this "godlike" worshipping of Obama tends to remind people of Revelations.

Did you call them today or had you done this sometime in the past? Not that it matters, but I'm just curious.

i called yesterday.

as far as the "terrorist" link to obama (name or religion), which is rediculos.....some would argue that maybe we shouldn't be in their country, fighting a war. just saying......

Well, my husband has been one of those fighting in Iraq, my son is getting ready to get deployed, and my daughter is a member of the National Guard. All you will hear is what the left media wants you to know. Hubby has been there 8 times. I personally know a former Iraq citizen who's town was attacked by Sadam Hussein...and guess what he used on them??? Weapons of mass destruction! Wow. Most Iraqis think that the US saved them and want us over there.

Oh, and we own a gunsmithing business, and go to church. So I guess we are clinging to "guns and God".

There is a lot of talk about Obama's links to a known terrorist. You just won't hear it from the leftist media. Whether it is true or not, I do not know. My reasons for not supporting him are multiple and mainly have to do with his FAR left view, his experience, his lack of respect for our soldiers, and his wanting to take our rights away from us.

Thanks for the support JWRN

But if you watch what the others write and how they write it and the things they won't believe about Obama that is in Black and White and with his questionable upbringing--if they want to be blind LET Them. If Obama becomes Pres they will see what will happen.

By the way, my husband is also Active duty and has served this country for 18 1/2 years and my father did too for 21 1/2. I have the utmost respect for our men and women in uniform and for our country. YOu cannot just pull our troops out of a war until their mission is complete or what we went there for will be in vain. If you don't support the war that's all fine and dandy but it's a job that must be finished. And you cannot put a timeline on pulling out it must be done gradually.

Once again I am not a Racist. I am a God fearing, gun toting, military wife and daughter, sister ,mother, nurse, Supporter of our Troops and Country and a tried and true REPUBLICAN.:thumbup:God Bless Our Troops and God Bless America.:shades_smile:

Hubby has 28 years and just retired. Flew blackhawks (was in Somolia and in the book "Blackhawk Down" when the Clinton screwed the military over). I am also a nurse...and I also tote a gun.

Oh please divamom give it a rest already! You keep saying you are not a racist...thou doesth protest too much!!! Who are you trying to convince??? Just because you say so doesn't make it true. Your earlier statements say it all! You can read whatever bizarre propaganda you want to...but it doesn't make that true either.

Stop already with this divisive talk and go join a Republican chat room. This forum is supposed to be about LapBands!!!

I've been reading some of the smear tactics of Palin (this particular one is echoed on Obama's website). Good reading: Michelle Malkin

Interestingly, several of the books they claim Palin tried to ban from her local library weren't even published at the time the supposed incident happened.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
