Thought it was high time that a thread was started to discuss and post stories of the US 2008 presidential race.

And I'm going to start off with a good one.

Jules dear take note! Obama is NOT a Muslim! And anyone who would say they will not vote for him because he is a Muslim is sadly ill informed.

Read the story in the following post.

Clinton campaign asks volunteer to resign

Linda Olson's resignation the second requested for Obama e-mail hoax

updated 1 hour, 41 minutes ago
DES MOINES, Iowa - Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign on Sunday requested the resignation of a second Iowa volunteer coordinator who forwarded a hoax e-mail saying Barack Obama is a Muslim possibly intent on destroying the United States.

Obama is a member of the United Church of Christ and says he has never been a Muslim, but false rumors attempting to tie him to Islamic jihadists are circulating on the Internet.

"Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential Candidacy," read the e-mail. "Please forward to everyone you know. The Muslims have said they Plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at The highest level."

The Clinton campaign has decried the rumors as offensive and outrageous, and last week forced volunteer Jones County coordinator Judy Rose to resign after learning that she forwarded a such an e-mail on Nov. 21. But it turns out Rose wasn't the only one.

Linda Olson, a volunteer coordinator in Iowa County, had forwarded a similar version on Oct. 5, without comment, to 11 people. One of the recipients was Ben Young, a regional field director for Democrat Chris Dodd's campaign, who provided a copy to The Associated Press on Sunday.

The Clinton campaign responded by asking for Olson's resignation.

‘Zero tolerance policy’
"We've made our position on this crystal clear," said Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee. "Our campaign does not tolerate this kind of activity or campaigning. As soon as it came to our attention, we asked this individual to step down."

Asked to explain why two people connected to the campaign would have forwarded similar e-mails and if the campaign was taking steps to find out if it's more widespread, Elleithee replied, "We communicated to all of our paid staff and volunteer leadership that the senator and the campaign have a zero tolerance policy for this type of activity."

Obama spokesman Bill Burton responded, "Iowans know garbage when they see it and it has no place in this race." Burton said Obama will focus on the debate over issues like health care, education and getting out of Iraq.

Rose has said she did not agree with the e-mail but was sending it to other area Democrats to show them how dirty politics was getting. Olson did not respond to an e-mail requesting comment.

I could SWEAR I remember him saying on Oprah many months back that he is a muslim. Maybe he said that his dad was or something. I believe either his dad or his grandparents are from Indonesia

His daddy and granddaddy were muslim I believe, but he is not. And yes he was schooled for a while in Indonesia or somewhere thereabout.

I think Mitt Romney is a hot daddy!

I was watching this program the other night and this one commentator just vehemently attacked Romney over his Mormonism because of the Mormon history of prejudice and stuff. It was quite interesting and he makes a point, Romney said its the religion of his father and his father's father and he backs it....then you back its prejudice history as well!

Well, so long as he is happy and not harming himself, and not trying to shove his beliefs down anyone's throat, you can't fault him then

not only that but the mormon religion is so asinine, how it was started by that charlatan! Anyone who believes it is a moron, sorry but it is true. Is it any coincidence that it is called mormanism? mormon, moron, only 1 letter different

I dont ask him anything regarding religion. Its too much of a hassle and it will end up in a fight. We get along great now. Hes a bit 'square' but I prefer it to his drugged self.
