Diary Of A Mad Voter: Heath Haussamen
Lies About Obama Only Hurting GOP

“Do we really have to do this again?” was my thought when I first read about Otero County, New Mexico, Republican Women Chair Marcia Stirman calling Barack Obama a Muslim and asserting that Muslims are America’s enemies.
Apparently, we do. So here goes.
Stirman wrote a letter published Tuesday in the Alamogordo Daily News about why she’s a Republican. In it she hit on familiar topics: She believes “in a sovereign God who sometimes gives us what we deserve.” She opposes abortion and supports the death penalty. She backs fiscal responsibility, small government, personal responsibility, spanking children, women raising “their own children” and men paying “for the children they’ve produced.” She believes marriage is between a man and a woman and that “illegal aliens should go home.” She endorses guns, lower taxes and voter ID.
Amidst all of that are these statements: “I believe Muslims are our enemies. ... I believe war is a fact of life and we should always win. ... I believe there is a moderate and a socialist in this election. I agree with a two-party system, but Obama isn’t a messiah or a democrat. He’s a Muslim socialist.”
She’s wrong. Here are the facts:
- Obama isn’t a Muslim. He’s a Christian who has darker skin, a less common name (at least in America) and more liberal views than Stirman.
- A February Gallup poll of 50,000 people in more than 35 predominantly Muslim countries found that 93 percent condemned the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and only 7 percent supported them. That 7 percent justified their beliefs with political, not religious, reasons.
In flagrant disregard of those facts, Stirman appears to have placed God and the truth in a neat little box that upholds her view of the world. But God doesn’t fit in anyone’s box. As a Christian, that’s a lesson I learn over and over.
I grew up in a fairly liberal home without religion. When I became a Christian in college, I spent a lot of time around a largely conservative group of people. I felt out of place and suffocated. I couldn’t understand where they were coming from and I didn’t like most of them. It took years of hard work, communication and faith to reach a point where I could understand their viewpoints, even when I didn’t agree with them. I now count some conservative Christians and some secular liberals among my closest friends. (I should point out that there are plenty of secular conservatives and liberal Christians, and I’m not trying to imply otherwise.)
I believe understanding viewpoints that are different from our own is one of the most difficult tasks in life. Every day I struggle with understanding the liberal world in which I grew up, the conservative world I joined in college, and the blending of the two worlds that younger generations like mine is forcing on America in the 21st Century.
Dems were forced to embrace diversity
The Democratic Party didn’t begin to learn that lesson until recently. The party was largely intolerant of anyone who didn’t agree with its platform. Though it talked about diversity, the party ran stuffy, uninspiring white men for president in 2000 and 2004. Couldn’t they find anyone better?
Losses to the Republican Party in the presidential races in those years, largely at the hands of the evangelical Christians who overwhelmingly supported George Bush, pushed Democratic Party to the brink, and it had to change.
The Democratic Party had credible black, female and Hispanic presidential candidates this time around. Equally important, it had more diversity of thought among its serious candidates. For example, the party had a candidate with an A rating from the National Rifle Association—Bill Richardson—standing alongside two candidates with liberal views on guns—Obama and Joe Biden.
The Democratic Party is also working to bring more people of faith, people who oppose abortion and fiscal conservatives into its fold. And that is dramatically changing the party of the left.
Now it’s the GOP’s turn
Stirman’s letter, on the other hand, exemplifies what’s wrong with the Republican Party in 2008. She wrote in the letter that, “People believe lies because it’s much easier than finding the truth.” She’s right. It’s easier to think of people as the enemy than it is to try to understand their views and recognize them as people who are, like us, trying to find their way through this life.
But having compassion for and seeking to understand people is what the God of the Bible calls us all to do. And our nation’s God-inspired Constitution requires that we work to find common ground and reach compromise so society can progress. The Bible says our struggle is not against other humans (http://bible.cc/ephesians/6-12.htm), but against evil spiritual forces.
It’s a free country, and Stirman is certainly entitled to thinking that is ignorant, divisive, hateful and inciting. But if she chooses that path, she’ll be part of the problem, not part of the solution.
There is hope for Republicans
Thinking like Stirman’s in the GOP is a primary reason for the shift to the left that promises to give Democrats a huge majority in Washington on Nov. 4. The GOP is going to have to do some soul-searching and redefine itself after the coming shellacking. There are some signs that could happen. State GOP Chairman Allen Weh told the Journal that Stirman’s comment about Muslims was “uneducated.”
“What she should have said is, ‘I believe radical Islamic fascists are our enemies.’ We’re fighting them in multiple theaters in the war against terror today,” Weh, a retired Marine colonel, told the Journal. “I’m a guy who spent almost a year in Iraq. I know Iraqi Muslims I served with would have taken a bullet for me.”
And check out this video from American News Project of supporters of John McCain chasing people with thinking like Stirman’s away from a McCain rally in Virginia:
There are people within the Republican Party who understand the truth. They must spend the next few years redefining the party as one that fully embraces that truth; otherwise, the conservative principles the party claims to care about will continue to lose ground in a society that is designed to thrive on political balance.

[End of article]This is what made what Powell said so great. He directly confronted this thinking. Not that it convinces those on the right who live with this kind of ignorance or fear but he still spoke up and I give him credit for it. That as much or more than his endorsing Obama because hearing that Muslims aren't all bad people is what many don't want to hear in the right wing of the republican party

And then there's this:
I remember the "New Party" movement in Missoula back in the mid-1990's. It gained a lot of momentum and even won some seats, ie. city council, school boards until the people realized that they actually were the "New Communist Party".
I still have documents from my own research added to files that I received from those in Missoula actively involved in exposing the NP for who and what they really were and supported. The NP didn't go away. They just called themselves different names all under the democrat banner.
"Democracy is the road to socialism" "The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them."
Karl Marx
Sources Confirm Barack Obama is a Socialist & how Socialism *...* state *legislature* and even Congress, but do not have the size or clout to field their own candidates for the Senate, the Governor’s office, or the White House.” Article published by a New Party Member in Missoula, *Montana* in 1997: *...*
The way I see it is Obama's tax plan is the proverbial "Give a man a fish....." and McCain's is "Teach a man to fish....." Pretty easy to figure out.
Comment By flounder, 10-23-08McCain's tax plan is more like give a rich man everyone else's fish and then bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.
That lawsuit is awesome. Good luck with that. Ele, are you one of those people who, on top of trying to get Obama to release his birth certificate again (since he already did) are hoping for that fake African News Network to release their Michelle Obama "whitey" audio tape? Hopefully that keeps you occupied for the next 8 years or so.
No I was involved, as I stated, which you elected to ignore, in exposing the New Party for what is really was, is.
Comment By Cindy, 10-23-08Rev. Wright's Liberation Theology has its roots in Marxist and in this case its Black Liberation Theology which is anti-white, no matter what they deny. Do your research. Sitting under this along with having a father figure by the name of Frank who was a Communist while growing up, would rub off on Obama's way of thinking. You throw the corruption of the Chicago bunch in, my daddy used to say, "Walk like a duck, talk like a duck, must be a duck". Obama's idea of spreading the wealth around is the socialism view which soon leads to communism. Obama may not be there yet, but is on the same path going that direction, along with those Democrats in Congress who are money hungry. Hate to see it, as Obama could be a great leader if he ever decided to change his ways. He claims to be a Christian, and he probably believes he is because Rev. Wright says he is, however its hard for me to believe as there are views he has that is not Christian, and are condemned in the Word of God. Again do your homework. In the meantime pray for him, and this country as it too is going away from its founding fathers and their belief in God.
Comment By flounder, 10-23-08Is the Andy Martin who is suing Obama the same Andy Martin who ran for Congress in 1986 on the promise that he would "exterminate Jew power"?
Is that the same Andy Martin who was blocked from the Illinois bar and described by a state psychiatrist as having a "moderately severe character defect manifested by well-documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character."?
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/13/us/politics/13martin.html
Is that the same Andy Martin who has a history of frivolous lawsuits and whom the U.S. Court of Appeal, 11th Circuit Court called a "notoriously vexatious and vindictive litigator who has long abused the American legal system."?
http://www.thenation.com/doc/20071112/hayes/single
Good luck with the lawsuit, Sounds like Andy Martin is onto something, and I hope he gets to finish the case before he extradicted to Palm Beach County on his outstanding warrant:
http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/2003-07-31/news/operation-baghdad/2
Sounds like you have your hands full with the Socialists up there in Montana. Maybe they are connected to that Sarah Palin lady...I heard she took a bunch of money from hardworking oil companies and redistributed it to lazy non-working bums like her children. Socialist like that real make me mad!
I agree. Anyone that refuses to vote AGAINST late term abortions, but doesn't believe in torture of terrorists, is fighting a battle within. And until he can win that battle he's not Presidential Material. He is too 'fresh' and mouldable like a clump of clay. With the likes of Barney Frank, Kennedy, Dodd, Pelosi Reed etc. They will have him totally SCREWED UP! If he could break away from the far left, I could take him more seriously. And for them to mock someone because they asked a good question shows meaness. 'Joe the plumber' is all over this country. Someone that works and doesn't want a hand OUT just a hand UP. Raising taxes on anyone at this stage of the game is stupidity, and greed.
Comment By truthynesslover, 10-24-08The only principle the republicans adhear to is the PETER PRINCIPLE.
And for ele;the lawsuit you mentioned was brought by a bitter clintonista whos a 9/11 truther{iguess this post was written for people like you?]do some research will ya?
ann;how many plumber do you know who make 250,000?
fool me once......
Another who would rather ignore a fact they can't argue. No answers or bright remarks about Obama being a member of the NEW PARTY?
BTW in answer to your question about the # of "plumber" I know who make 250,000(I assume you mean $s), I know 3 personally, all have government contracts.
Hi from Europe. It's me.
@ Ele
Self-conditioned brainwashing and deception hardly require any comment. It is so pathetic...
While we are digressing, nothing to say on the actual subject of this entry, on that GOP member letter which remind us some European 20th century fanatical ideology made of nauseous prejudices, of bigotry and hatred? Right, time to go back in your cave, seeking tailored for your self-deceptive propaganda 'facts' on Ireport, lol. Pathetic indeed.
Actually there are a LOT of plumbers that make that much what about franchised plumbers. Joe didn't say he WAS making that much he said he was thinking about buying one that could make that much. Quit trying to spin it. When does the $200,000.00 start. It would be less than $200,000.00 anyway. Is it Net or Gross? what about overhead? what about ranchers, One combine will cost more than that. It still boils down to Obama wants to give every one a fish instead of helping them actually learn HOW to fish. It's welfare no matter how you look at it. They are even changing their 95% tax cut down to less than 60% sounds to me like the Dems are back peddaling.
Comment By Ele, 10-24-08Hi Back By Me,
What part of Europe? Msla, UMgolia? I'm sure you're trying to say something, but I don't understand broken English. Sorry. However I do agree that brainwashing and deception hardly require any comment. No one is "self conditioned" even single cell animals react to outside stimuli. And the less brain cells the more reaction.
Thank all you NPs for the entertainment, but I grow tired of slap stick.
So moving tax rates towards Reagan-era rates is socialism. Why do you want to make Saint Reagan's ghost cry?
Comment By Cindy, 10-24-08The Spokane, Washington tv news said 80% of the businesses in Spokane made over $250,000 per year, yet were considered small businesses. This included electronic manufactoring to food commodities that were shipped world wide. If this is so what would Obama's tax do to the employment percentage in Spokane?
The town of Libby, Montana that Senator Max Baucas has been helping in the medical area due to W.R. Grace poisoning so many residents through the years, which has caused so many deaths along with the illness, asbestos poisoning, trying to help the town to get back on its feet. Not only has it had the asbestos poisoning, but the primary employment shut down as the logging industry was stopped by the environmentalists; however they are are beginning to come back with smaller employers, some of which are reaching and going over the $250,000 per year. What will happen to this small town should they have to suffer another blow with higher taxes. Does the elitist groups even think about these hard working people or do they think only of themselves and how they can rape the taxpayer.
Cindy I hate to be the one to tell you but if Obama gets elected all those small towns will get smaller. He will raise those taxes, so he can fund the likes of ACORN and Bill Ayers and his teachings. Remember OBAMA will decide who gets your money. No more donating to the ASPCA for me, Since Obama will do it. (Not that I make any where near that kind of money). But that type of 'spreading the wealth' will stop a lot of voluntary donations don't you think?
Comment By Ann, 10-24-08If taxes are raised on big corporations, who the heck do you think is going to pay for those tax raises? It sure as heck isn't going to be the big corporations, those guys will just tack on raises and any other expenses to the cost of the goods that the consumer has to pay. For instance this summer with the cost of fuel over $4 this is one of the items that got hit with a higher price to compensate. Bulk carrots were .79 cents a pound, but went to $1.79 a pound to cover the fuel cost even though the cost of the carrots is still only .79cents. The extra dollar is added to cover the cost to get it here. (that's just carrots, not to mention the rest of the products that get trucked around this country.) That's just a sample of how the big companies will still get as much (if not more) than they do now. (Fuel prices have dropped but not the price of the carrots). So raising the taxes on ANYONE at this stage of the game is plain STUPID. Besides the fact that the Bush Tax cuts expire in 2010 so Obama will (if elected) Raise them again on everyone he can. He promised lower taxes to get elected to the Illinois State Senate. But ask those Illinois people where their Tax cut is. I bet they would like to know because they NEVER got it. So Obama lies right along with the rest of them. At least McCain is talking to put a freeze on spending until they can re-prioitize who needs what and how much. Much better than Obama talking MORE spending. There is a bottom to that pocket book somewhere.
Comment By Lisa, 10-24-08I just want to say Thank You to the McCain supporters that confronted racism and drove it away. This was the first evidence I've seen of sane, honorable behavior from McCain rally attendees and it was a breath of fresh air. This video gives me real hope for the future.
Comment By Barbara Whitaker, 10-27-08Well I beg to differ with those who say "what's in a name"If a name is not important then why do parents spend months choosing one. Why are some names from previous generations in their families passed down? Why is Sr and Jr. important? Why do Catholics like to use Biblical names? Because names do matter!!!!Names are very important and tell a lot about that person or thier family.Why is using Baracks middle name racist?It is his middle name, it is a muslim name. His father is muslim. Barack and his father have proven ties to extreme muslim organizations. I don't. I am Christian.Would our country put a "Hitler" in office during WW1?Of course not.Why would we put a Muslim in our White House???His name is Barack HUSSEIN Obama.B
Comment By flounder, 10-27-08Barbara,
How do we know you aren't linked to radical Christianist terrorist organizations like Operation Rescue or that you aren't a follower of Rushdoony (or his later followers like Pat Robertson) and his Dominionist anti-American agenda? Your name doesn't tell us anything about your possible terrorist connections, but your blatant religious discrimination sure gives us some hints.
And Todd Palin is a pretty regular name, yet this guy is a member of a secessionist group, that encourage its members to "infiltrate" the regular political parties. His political party (AIP) was founded by a guy who hates America and blew himself up in a plastic explosives deal gone bad. And you think Todd Palin should get to lurk around the White House? Maybe you share his agenda.
I write many posts on many blogs and sometime I'm called angry and a black racist! Or because I'm black playing the victim! This is a big lie and far far from the truth I'm not angry nor racist nor a victim! I love all GOD's people but I call it like I see it and I'm doing what whites will not do! TELL THE TRUTH! I'm doing what the white control media will never do! TELL THE TRUTH!!!! The truth is in many incident in America that result in the downfall of America. The present of WHITE GREED ..WHITE RACISM..and THE LACK OF WHITE LEADERSHIP and THE WHITE BUDDY SYSTEM is responsible! Take WHITE GREED I believe is responsible for America's financial downfall! The protest against the building of the Mosque in New York is because the LACK OF WHITE LEADERSHIP and the disrespect for the Constitution! Then the most evil of all is WHITE RACISM that is responsible for disrespect of America's Constitution and lead to white racist cops murdering unarmed black children and adults! These evils are responsible for making America rank 10th in the world from number one in the world! For making America a third rate country and hated in most other counties! Then THE WHITE BUDDY SYSTEM responsible for many scams and cons and fraud against American citizen! Just in case you didn't know the Federal Reserve is a private company of bankers with twelve branch banks that confiscate American money and they have been doing this for almost a hundred years,--- this time! They are not part of the United States Government. Yet today they collect hundreds of billions of dollars from American taxpayers every year. The white Republican politicians of the past set this up and today take many kickback so that this practice can continue! Not from just minority but all Americans especially white Americans! The Madoff family business seemed to be an inspiring success -- until its patriarch revealed himself to be a con man for the history books.But this white con artist had help from The White Buddy System that looked the other way for many many years! This is why the white Republican Party are attacking President Obama's recovery plan for America! They must keep the rich and the super rich richer and they could not care if the country is suffering! Bernie Madoff was able to con many America most if not all WHITE out of billions over 33 years because many white politician helped! And it took the Obama administration to out and arrest the con artist! Just like the healthcare fraud expose by the Obama's administration where many American had set up storefront and billed medicare for equipment they never had! This fraud was allowed under many white President many members of The White Buddy System!

It took you 2 years to come with this? A bit on the defensive, no? The truth hurts, so get over it, about your president and the federal reserve that is. By the way the Buddy System knows no color but the color of money and power. The 14th amendment made us ALL slaves to the federal government, which last I looked included BLACK and WHITE crooks on both sides of the political coin. Wake up to another fact. No matter how you toss that coin, republicans/democrats up or down, the value never changes.
Comment By Tyrone, 9-22-10Ones again white hatred and disrespect of American value are under attack by racist white American terrorist! White Americans are bringing shame to America and disrespecting every American! Also the whites who are silence against this evil are just as guilty! This is nothing more then white racism 101 in America! The Tea Party'' Sarah Palin ,Glenn Beck , and Bill O'Reilly love to see hate and divide in America! They also love to lie about the country and make statements like "we want our country back and President Obama is not a American! Newt Gingrich is another white racist that was responsible for the downfall of America with his stupid Contract With America that started the downfall of the country. So now he blames President Obama and attack the President and state that the President is a African and don't understand US! "US WHO? President Obama the President of the United State of America is being attack for speaking in America to a American school in America to American students!

To think the President of the United State is not welcome in a American school! Other country laugh at America and the way whites disrespect the Constitution and fellow American and the President of their country! Their behavior is no better then terrorist that hate all Americans! My question: Just like whites criticize and demonize black people and blame all black people for the action of one! Where is white people self evaluation of themselves???? Why haven't white people stop crime in their community 90% white on white crime is never explain or talked about! Where is the discussion on child molesting, incest, bank robbery, mental illness, AIDS, high school drop out in white community all mention very high! Poverty which is highest among white then any other race in America and never corrected and explain by the 43 white only Presidents???!
Comment By Tyrone, 9-23-10THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND FEAR
In the beginning both white Republicans and white Democrats greeted blacks in the same way! With hatred and discrimination and fear! Then Former Republican President Richard Nixon came and the Republican Party start to play fear and blame games! Blacks where to be fear and blame for all financial wrong in America and all crime! Then Former President Reagan took that mentality to a different level! He refuse to speak to any so-call white elected black leadership! I believe because of his Alzheimer he just didn't know to care about black issue! Under Reagan hatred in America went to a new level!The Republicans also under Reagan high jack Christianity and spoke as if they where the higher moral party! So they told the public to fear Russia and black people then to fear Hispanic and black people! Then Americans where told to fear Arab and black people Afghan and black Iraqis and black people! Now today with the first black President Republican are telling the public to fear President Obama! They started while he was running for President. They attack his father mother grandparent his Pastor they totally demonize him. They attack and harass church members and members that where shut in with death sickness! The Republican Tea Party who said nothing under President Bush when he turn a surplus into debt for America and cause American troops death for NOTHING in Iraq ( NO-WOMD)! There was no Tea Party but under President Obama who is trying to clean up and re-start the country! The Tea Party want America to fear President Obama. They have called him a socailist a racist a idiot weak. They have made statement that "President Obama does not listen to the people' We want our country back "President Obama is the worst President ever" President has done nothing in two years in office" Keep the Government out of my social security" No new Taxes" Stop the Spending!
Six weeks before midterm elections, House Republicans vowed to cut taxes and federal spending, repeal President Barack Obama's health care law and ban federal funding of abortion as part of a campaign manifesto designed to propel them to victory in November and a majority in the next Congress. What they don't say to America is that their policy of the past create the horrible condition President Obama inherit and they criticize! They don't say why all their proposals in there" Republicans' 'Pledge to America' " where kept secrete for the last two years! They also don't tell America why they are the party of "NO" especially on issue that they propose under President Bush! They also don't tell America why they criticize President Obama stimulus package but past a stimulus package under President G. W Bush! They don't explain senator John Mc Cain flip flop from agreeing and writing a immigrant bill with the late Senator Ted Kennedy. Then fighting against it! Or the fact that Mc Cain said he would vote to appeal " don't asked don't tell" if the top military wanted it appeal! Then Mc Cain gets on the floor of the senate and fight against it! The Republican also don't tell America in this stupid " Republicans' 'Pledge to America' " how they turn a surplus into a debt! Or why they continue the war in Iraq after finding out there where no WOMD ( Weapon of Mass Destruction)? That cause the needless death of 4,400 plus American troops! Republican never told America why they didn't purchase proper upper body armor at the beginning of the Iraq War! That the "9/11 Report" stated could have save 750 American troops life's! They don't explain why parent of America troops had to find and purchase armor for their children because under Republican rule THEY DID NOT! " Republicans' 'Pledge to America' " is a joke as was The Contract With America" JUST PROMISE AND LIES! Why would any American reward any Republicans with there vote knowing they cause needless death of American troops and turn a surplus into a debt! Causing the financial downfall of the country!
Comment By Tyrone, 9-27-10To think a war was started in Iraq and the Republican President and Republican Congress voted for it! Turns out their was NO ( WOMD) Weapon of Mass Destruction the lie that President G. W. Bush gave reason to attacking Iraq! As a result 4,400 plus American troops lost their lives for NOTHING! Today President Obama has begin to end that needless war only to be criticize for voting against the surge that Republican claim helped to secure the Iraq country. Which also turns out to be another LIE! The truth is the idiot Republican don't understand! That had Republican had just one working brain they would understood that there was NO need to attack Iraq so there would had not been a need for a surge! Today President Obama because of his stimulus package he has STOP the recession and stabilize the country! And now started to rebuild the great American country by re-tooling and reconstructing finance and creating a plan for two wars! All the while being attack by Republican on his birth Certificate where he was born . President Obama been called a Socialist" a Muslim" a Racist" Weak" Stupid" Unattached" Unprofessional etc.. He NEVER attack Republican BUT on the issue and their uncaring behavior and the fact they have no plan to clean up the mess they create! The Republican plan is to criticize President Obama and vote NO ( Without Reason) and demonize anything and everything President Obama attempts to correct! Today white Tea Party member and white Republican are rewarding Republicans with their votes! After witnessing the Republican turn a surplus into debt and causing the needless deaths of American troops in IRAQ!
