A recent Rasmussen telephone poll revealed that 56% of voters “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
The poll asked participants how they felt about Barack Obama’s recent controversial comment about “bitter Americans clinging to guns and religion.” 56% of respondents disagreed with Senator Obama’s statement about small town Americans.
The survey goes on to show that 25% of voters hate small town, gun clutching, bible thumping, xenophobes, and agreed with The Democrat Presidential frontrunner.
19% are not sure whether they hate more: America or foreigners.
In completely unrelated news, Barack Obama is trailing Senator Hillary Clinton by 20 points in the run up to the Pennsylvania Primary.

I know, Don. And with a copy of the Bible in the other hand. Plus I have to bounce back and forth between strangling a foreigner and typing.
Us small town Pennsylvanians just aren’t that good at multitasking.

Yes, Alex. I think even some of the undecided 19% hated him as well.

[...] Look at Barack Obama. He has been involved with some shady people but yet he is about to become President. He is a shining example of how ridiculous it is to judge anyone by the company they keep no matter how dirty or radical they are. I am also sure that anyone with Obama’s background and social circle would put that all aside and do the right thing for all of us Americans, even the ones clinging to our guns and bibles. [...]

OBAMA REVEALS TRUE POLITICAL AGENDA

Chicago (AP) November 5, 2008 – President-Elect Barak Obama told a shocked and incredulous nation that he actually is “more conservative than Genghis Khan” and that his years-long posturing as a community activist and liberal politician was a lark.
“I just wanted to see how long I could be something I wasn’t,” he laughed. “And just to see how long I could get away with it.”
Fox News Chris Wallace’s listened in stunned silence as Senator Obama elaborated that “with all my money, I can do whatever the f*** I want. And giving away my money to some welfare bum isn’t one of them.”
When Wallace stammered, “But, Mr. Obama, you’ve just been elected President of the United States….”, Obama interrupted him, “If you think Reagan was a hard-nose, just wait. And,” he added looking into the camera, “you better watch your ass, Pootey Poot” in a reference to Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
When informed of Obama’s disclosure, his former political rival Sen. John McCain said, “That Barak! I always knew him to be one for practical jokes in the Senate – planting whoopee cushions during a live C-Span feed — but this is way over the top.”
As press reports jammed the wires with this electrifying and sudden turn of events, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) who was seen hurriedly leaving an Arlington, VA, Motel 6 declined comment while Rep. John Murtha (D-PA), leaving the same motel from a different exit, declined comment as well.
On the financial markets, the Dow gained an unprecedented 967 points in ten minutes prior to trading being halted as the international markets absorbed the news. The S&P 500 Index rocketed…

Personal Finance Bible
sometimes we are presented with opportunities to make money in ways that aren’t completely legitimate. It could be anything from returning a product to a store where it wasn’t purchased, to stealing something that isn’t ours and selling it. This verse talks of how important it is to have integrity, and how if you don’t have integrity, having a fortune doesn’t really matter.
