Obama Camp on Pawlenty: Bring It On

“He recently told ABC’s Jan Crawford Greenburg that he owns a $335,000 suburban home outside Minneapolis and was quick to note that he still pays the mortgage and cuts his own grass.”
So he bought a house that he could afford instead of opting for the indicted slumlord financing?

Only one house?
HE’S NOT A REPUBLICAN.

it is a sure sign of desperation that all the Obama campaign can do is dwell and dwell on this silly house issue, when there is really nothing left for them to attack. You know what? Nobody cares. Not only are Obama and Biden clearly rich and elitists, but do recall that the Kennedy’s are the epitome of elitist and wealth, and FDR, one of our greatest Presidents, comes from a hugely wealthy ancestry.
It’s not an issue. At all.

Nothing left on McCain to attack? Keating Five? Cheating on his first wife then leaving her for the rich beer heiress? Lobbyists up to his neck? McCain’s mental instability?
Do you want McCain’s problems alphabetically or chronologically?

Mack, you should do some research on that “slum-lord financing.” Let me know what you turn up.

Isn’t the bridge collapse just a little low, even for the Obama campaign?!

Francisco and et al,
The GOP campaign managers have brought this upon themselves. McCain is the one who started slinging the mud. Go back and look at the ads and timing!

Just keep telling yourself that until it’s true.

Obama your own personal Messiah for the left-wing nuts! Gotta love a guy who makes campaign speeches to the Europeans since he thinks he’s going to be Ruler of the World if elected. What an egotistical empty suit. Just like “Plugs” Biden.

But decentAmerican misses the point entirely. The issue isn’t being wealthy, the issue is being wealthy and using that as an excuse not to recognize that jobs for real Americans are disappearing and poverty is increasing. The Kennedys and Roosevelts were wealthy and geared their public lives around giving something back to the less fortunate.

Yes… you guys are correct. We should make Success-In-Life (aka – multiple houses) a “bad” quality that is to be shunned.
For the record, I live in an Apartment. Most of my neighboors are lazy and on drugs, I have no sympathy for them. It wasn’t life that screwed them, but the horrible choices they’ve made and continue to make daily.
Obama is certainly their guy though…
And clearly they know best… for they have 0 houses.

The Viet Cong by sparing John McCain has tortured American Citizens.

NoBama! NoBama! NoBama! NoBama! No Bama!
LOve those “Hope” Posters of Bama! All you need to do is cross out the H with the real deal
N or D

McCain went from being a POW to POB (Prisone of Bush). McCain is basically Bush’s B_I_T_C_H. Wonder if W let his boyfriend have a go at McCain to loosen him up.

McCain is 72 on Friday. My neighbor was 63 until he died two days ago. Whoever he picks better be ready because any day now could be McCain’s last.

samhiguchi asks:
“Isn’t the bridge collapse just a little low, even for the Obama campaign?!”
Not nearly as low the continual nonsense about Rezko from the McCainites. I think Obama has shown astonishing restraint not to point out Keating.
How come McCain supporters never talk about McCain, by the way? He seems to be just a bland stand-in for “Not Obama”.

Here’s a thought, let’s actually look at some facts. Biden’s net worth is more than $150,000, but it is still remarkably low for being a US Senator. Here’s Biden’s financial statement from June 2008.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080824/ap_on_el_pr/cvn_biden_finances

McCain is not out of touch because he has seven houses. He’s out of touch because HE CAN’T REMEMBER HOW MANY HE HAS. He has to have HIS STAFF get back to you on that.

Anyone that votes for McCain is rich or crazy…

Pawlenty has some minuses. Remember the I-35W Mississippi River Bridge Collapse happened under his watch. Pawlenty’s tax policies were blamed as part of the cause of the collapse by Mayor James Hovland of affluent Edina He also defended Carol Molnau, the transportation commissioner who has been blamed by some for the collapse. Also, he initially supported but later disapproved of the importation of less-expensive prescription drugs from Canada to be used with the state’s MinnesotaCare health plan, and also as a means to band together with other states and negotiate lower drug prices. Many Minnesota residents traveled to Canada, as well, to get prescriptions filled and the governor was supportive of their efforts to save money. However, the U.S. government put pressure on Canada to cease these practices and banned the importation of drugs from Canada in 2006. Finally, opponents of illegal immigration may want to think twice before supporting a man who announced a program for reforming the way Minnesota deals with persons who are in the United States illegally.

Ron says:
“So we have to bring the price down by increasing the supply of oil….end of story”
And how do you propose to do that? Drilling offshore? That will add less than 2% to the world supply. That’s the equivilant of adding a quart of cold water to a hot bathtub to cool it down (in 7-10 years from now).
Oil (unlike electricity) is a global commodity. The price you pay has nothing to do with where it was pumped. The ONLY way to reduce our dependance on foreign oil is to reduce our dependance on oil.

Normally the number of houses McCain has wouldn’t be an issue, but he made it an issue attacking Obama as an elitist. A guy that doens’t know how many houses he has should not be calling anybody else an elitist!
And Topher, do you really think there is nothing about McCain to attack other than the house issue. You’re kidding, right? You cannot possibly be that out of touch.

This is going to be one hell of an election…
I’m getting goosebumps already!!!!!

hey, while we are on the subject of houses, didn’t barack and his family stay at an $8 million home of a big donor when they were on their vacation in hawaii?

Hey Realist2008, if you dislike Biden because he wears Italian suits, you should despise McCain for his fancy dancy Italian loafers. Get a clue you hypocrite. Shall we do a survey of how many Democrats v. Republicans have hair plugs. What is your point, really.

Obama and McCain are politicians ans we are bunch of emotional guys. Both of them after Nov are going to sit together and have fun.
Also about Obama can anyone tell me as to how much did Harvard fine Obama for not returning Library books or making illegal parkings. Can anyone dig up when were these fine paid?? U will be shocked if u knew the answer.
About McCain just recall what W, Fox, Limbaugh and Rove said in 2000? Some of it was true? Just dig it back Dems!!!

Well, being poor shouldn’t be a prerequisite for the white house. I’d rather have someone that’s had some success.

guliani knew a verb,a noun …9/11 to everything he answered.
mccain…powpowpowpowpowpowpowpowpowpowpow

CAN WE TALK REAL ISSUES AT HOME WITHOUT STOKING US AGAINST THEM FEAR AND PARANOIA
GROW SOME SPINE AND THINK OF THE GREAT NATION: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,first !

Yet another unabashedly BIASED ARTICLE FROM ABC NEWS.
At LEast Chhange the name of your organization to the Liberal Media Wing of the Democrats.
Seriously, just cause someo0ne cancels their appointments does not make them the VP candidate. I hope you swallow these words. And for the Obama Camp to say the bridge collapse is the governor’s fault is beyond inredible.
Its like Saying that Barak Obama a 1 term Senator from IL should be President of the US. Or worse that Obama is the reason that the state of IL has the highest unemployment rate in the country. So go ahead and vote for him, collect your welfare check, because as you can see the corporations have already left Illinois, soon the will be departing the US as he intends to tax them out of the country.

If your complaining about ABC.. why dont you go place your lips on the teets of fox.. They seem to serve your flavor of rotten milk.

For the 6 years that the Republicans had George Bush as president and a majority of the Senate, and 4 years a majority in the House, the US has suffered incredibly. Economy, security, energy, deficit, environment, inflation, housing and world-wide prestige, just to name a few. Oh and the debacle in Iraq too.
And now half the country is thinking of electing another Republican as president? How sad indeed.

Good God, drop the house stuff already. It’s old, it’s been old since about two days after the Obama people started this line. Everyone gets it. Soon everyone will vomit.
By the way, I feel the same way about John McCain bringing up being a POW. Equal opportunity sickness here.
Why is no one talking about the thuggery of the Obama campaign, however, in going after Stanley Kurtz in Chicago (on WGN radio last night), trying to disrupt the show by sending out an email blast and offering detailed instructions on the time, phone number, etc? Doesn’t that strike anyone else as curtailing free speech? Just our friendly, open Obama — you know, the constitutionallaw lecturer. Maybe he should have listened to himself.

Ugh. I would like to hear substance from Obama at this point and the number of houses that McCain owns is a NON-issue.
Actually, it only tells me that McCain is not obsessed w/ownership and his own finances. He knows he has more than enough and Obama who lives in a mansion himself should shut up. And while he’s at it, help his impoverished relatives.
What really matters is who is going to help the people who ARE struggling? Obama is in the better party that cares about the poor but I haven’t heard him talk about it with any of the weight that Hillary or Joe Biden have.
This housing thing might be entertaining to people who already love Obama but it’s not going to fly with those of us seriously confused by this baffling choice of candidates.

Just remember what republican leadership has given us to date.. If you think that things are great (and maybe it is for you)than vote for mcsame.. If you want a new direction than vote Obama.

Obama your own personal Messiah for the left-wing nuts (WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICANS?) Gotta love a guy who makes campaign speeches to the Europeans since he thinks(WATCH ME, I AM A TELEPATH) he’s going to be Ruler of the World if elected. What an egotistical empty suit. Just like “Plugs”(PERSONAL ATTACKS BASED ON PHYSICAL APPEARENCE) Biden.
Thank you for playing…Today’s Gallup, Obama ahead by 6 %

Dear dc:
Serving under a President with national experience as a VP, which is what Obama SHOULD have done,would allow that VP to develop his/her national credentials.
YOU COULD NOT MAKE THIS STUFF UP…..REMEMBER BUSH AND CHENEY? THAT WAS JUST 8 YEARS AGO THAT BUSH DID WHAT YOU ARE ACCUSING OBAMA OF DOING)
Sen. Obama’s ego was too big though for him to actually wait and gain any of that unneeded and useless experience.

Yeah forget about the topic of number of houses ..
Mccain doesnt remember either.
But dont forget what the Neo-Cons and Bush have done to this country.
btw.. Conservatives have no sense of humor.. is there such a thing as a funny conservative?

Anyone voting for Barack Obama is ill-informed, stupid or expects freebies from his socialist agenda. Take from the rich, small businesses and give to the irresponsible and lazy is a socialist program.
Obama is against drilling for more oil and gas but believe that wind turbines, solar cells and bio-fuels with at least 30% increase in cost is better. How insane. We have lots of gas and coal for energy use. And it has been the Democrats against drilling and new refineries for the last 25 years which has caused our current problem.

Hey Obamanids! You think your guy is powerful? Watch our man John McCain pick a running mate and steer Hurricane Gustav into New Orleans at the same time! Behold his mighty hand!…

Let’s bring it on:
Time to bring out the big gun ads on:
Rev Wright, Rev Pfleger, Terrorist Bill Ayers, Black Panthers, Tony Rezko

Judging from the way Obama loves grand I wont worry too much about Mc Cain houes, because am sure it wont be long before Obama has several of his own

YEA PAWLENTY HAS 1 HOUSE, MCCAIN 7 SO WHAT…. HOW BIG IS THE HOUSE THE FORMER DEMON CRAT GORE HAD??? WHO CARES HOW MANY HOUSES OR HOW MUCH MONEY. VOTE FOR THE PERSON YOU THINK CAN DO THE JOB.

Biden’s net worth is only $150,000? So wher eis he blowing all his money. Does Joe Biden has a serious gambling probem?

Bet only 10% of those people in the Denver stadium would be there just to hear Obama’s speech. The rest are there for the free concert, food, booze (?) and rubbing elbows with VIPs. OBAMA, THE ROCK STAR, OBAMA THE CIRCUS CLOWN, OBAMA, THE FOOL, OBAMA, THE MOST CORRUPT POLITICIAN in the last 100 years. No, thanks, I would not go. Denver has been contaminated by the corruption of Obama.

If after all these years in the Senate Biden’s net worth is ONLY ~$150,000 this guy should be nowhere near any ECONOMIC DECISION. 150k after 30+ years on a SENATE salary (with fully paid perks) is not a badge of honor but a DISGRACE.
People with far lower salaries have saved up much more in that timeframe.
Biden’s probably a spendthrift who will now spend away our TAX dollars…
McCain 08
Hillary 12

Hey Mary, how did like Bush Socialist Agenda, Wall street enjoyed the profit in the past 7 years, and now we are bailing them out one by one starting by Bear stern AndMac. Fredie Mac and Fanie may, what is next Goldman Sachs or fidelity ?
If using our tax money to fix our Roads our bridges our levees vs giving it to their buddies is socialism I’ll prefer this type of socialism than Bush’s/Mcsame’s socialism.

When do the DEMS mention that McCain committed a crime when he pushed the neo-con agenda on letterman to get the USA to go to war against IRAQ based on false propaganda? He said he has a SOURCE who knew it was the IRAQI’s who did the anthrax attack against NBC and two liberal Congressmen.
Apparently that IRAQI story was all speculation, mere lies to lead us to war. To do so is a crime against the state, a federal crime. That’s Mccain, a pusher for the fear drug for Bush.

Noothing wil help McCain. His VP pick will either alienate the Religious Wrong, or offend the swing voter who kinda admires what McCain has achieved in his life.
See, the baggage McCain is dragging is the Republican Party. People with ethics and sense are departing for the time being, taking a holiday from politics. I doubt if we will see Colin Powell or Condi Rice on the ticket, because they can recognize a fast sinking ship.
Meanwhile, the Republicans worst nightmare is manifesting. The Democrats are united, and inspired. Tonight, Obama will give a speech that will resonate around the world, linked with Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech for all time.
And the polls? the Dems are about to open up a big lead. McCain has been Swift Boating, while Obama has taken the high ground, and stayed on the issues, without pre-empting presidential prerogatives (Georgia, anyone? :) ) And McCain, while principled, has a big mouth and shoots from the hip. Bad mistake while people are taking notes for the final six weeks of campaign advertising.
Kiss your butt goodbye, McC. You have been allowed to stay up with the front runners. Now you are just going to sound raucous and old as we enter the final laps.

Let’s see. If the Obama campaign collects the kind of opposition research that the McCain campaign uses, then it’s low. If it doesn’t, it’s naive and not tough enough.
McCain’s campaign has been flinging every bit of mud it can find, and making stuff up when it can’t find mud. It’s a shame Obama has to fight the same way. But Obama is a smart guy who learned a lot from the slime war against John Kerry–and obviously, he’s a fighter. He’ll be a great fighter when he’s president, too.

It saddens me to see how so many people are worked up like jr high school students at a pep rally. Net worth vs. Net worth. House vs. house. They are both figureheads bought and paid for by the two party structure. Matters not republican or democrat. Our government works by passibg bills and legislation. In all but the rarest of cases, these bills and items of legislation are introduced by people with more money and “interests” than anyone posting on this board. All your voting for is a name. In the end, its the money that controls what actually happens. And the people with the real money in this country, and world, arent on the ballots any more. Wake up people. Its the system thats broken, not every specific individual.

dont argue with these mcnuts. they like to be tortured.after this election they can leave this country and continue let themselves be tortured on GOP island. thats why they hate education. ONLY in America is ignorance glorified.these GOPers have low self esteem,and this election is great because now they are exposed.the source of ignorance has been exposed. they can never lie to my face again.they are too stupid too realize that the whole world see their ignorance. these are the ones that got left behind. i have no respect for the willfully stupid.

The Democrats don’t seem to be no better than the Republicans… Shame on them to say “same old politics of mudslinging” while they shamelessly, I repeat, shamelessly do the same thing that the Republicans do.
Look, no one can do worse than Bush. So either Obama or McCain will do better than Bush.

John from CA
Only one thing wrong with your explanation of the $4.00 gal gas. It isn’t driven by shortages it is speculation in oil futures mostly by hedge funds. And guess who voted against any effort to regulate that speculation. McCain.. Besides it is the fact that we buy 70% of our oil from countries that hate us and we cannot replace that 70% no matter where we drill. It is finally time for us to replace oil with renewable energy. Even Pickens who funded the swift boaters know that we have to get it right and that isn’t through McCain

Right-On–Your comments are from a gutter idiot. You must be an Obama supporter. And you have a PhD from Jackass University.

Youre right Debra, my bad. ALL rednecks are stupid because you disagree with Mccains permanent record.
Youre thought processes are shortsighted, but im sure youre a genius because you arent a redneck right?
Im sad for all of you who only feel ok with yourself by putting others below you.

here is a good example of what i mean
.. . . . . .truthman01 . . . . . ..
“dont argue with these mcnuts. they like to be tortured.after this election they can leave this country and continue let themselves be tortured on GOP island. thats why they hate education.

this guy is running off at the mouth. He’s probably still in school, and whining because hes in debt up to his ears with student loans . . . i forgive you for you do not know brother.
it matters none to me who takes the presidency . . . i have my opinions . . . but i also i have the ability to control my hatred . . . what makes you think your values are any more important than someone else’s? The difference between a wise man and a fool is that a wise man can control his emotions . . . no amount of education can teach you that . . . as far as education goes . . . its a farce to get you to “show them the money.” Is it not ironic that only one president in the entire history of our country has had a PHD? Just a little trivia from this unedified ignorant independent voter.

SadTruth…you are right about everything except BO has had a slight bump,,,,he is at 48 now and McCain 43, but that’s only Gallup….Rasmussin is still a tie I believe.
Everything else you said is true tho, going to be fugly for the DEMS in Nov.

Lot’s of reports of mainstream media being in the tank for Obama.
In fact it was reported that NBC NEWS & MSNBC is in total turmoil over biased reporting, INFIGHTING.
The loons at MSNBC actually may want to have Tom Brokaw fired, lol.

Drill drill drill drill here now.
GO GO GO GO McCain.

If Obama does not get a bump of 10-15, he’s in deep trouble. Bill Clinton had a bump near 30 points in one of his convention

I at least hope the Republicans, and whomever the VP candidate is, have the decency and respectability to hold their acceptance speech indoors in a typical convention setting.
The way they have Invesco decked out, you’d think they were holding the Academy Awards there or something.
I doubt if even the Broncos are going to want to play there anymore after this staged puppet show.

I think liberal woman are more fun and attractive than conservative ones.. have you seen how hideous those flds people look in Texas? gross..

The sadtruth is… half of this country will still vote republican after the gross incompetence of this conservative administration.
pretty sad..

sad truth—–i know you will get another lesson om this one—-remember the people are backing and behind obama—-a lot of voters that are not owned by big business—-nafta john the exxon man will lose this on by a landslide—mark it on your calendar

John McCain hates computers.
When John McCain tries to check his email the mission is aborted like a fetus.
PLEASE VOTE FOR A PRO-IT CANDIDATE

Anonymous,
You may think you have some keen observation, but in reality you don’t.
The democrats picked the wrong candidate – plain and simple.
Kerry couldn’t beat Bush four years ago when EVERYTHING the Dems are saying now they were saying then.
Nothing has changed in the last four years.
BUSH could run against Obama and beat him!
Face it, the dems blew it.
Hillary would have won this EASILY.
Now McCain is going to waltz into the White House because the dummass democrats thought that they could slip a marxist past the goalie.
NOPE.
A lot of truth in this person’d post for you democommies… if you want to win, quit running these mt suit rich boys who want me to be a good silent member of the proletariat and carry an AK in their defense while they are driven home to the family compound by Secret Service
( You should think of the old SORRY drunk Teddy Chapaquidic right about here and remember where he left Mary Jo Kopeckni.. )

FRED WAS OBAMA BORN AT THAT TIME.

mary and debra went to watch the convention AND DROOL OVER OBAMA.

The important thing now is, we will have a black govornment, black leadership, like the black nations in our motherland, Africa.And Now we can unite our motherland Africa with America. The whites, the spanish the english and all others will not count anymore.

debra and mary–you need to develope a sense of humor as nothing is that serious to foster hatred—-
goodby
goodnight

empty suit = stagflation. Anyone remember that? Try reading your history books. Mr. Hope/Change has the same economic philosophy as the peanut farmer did. (read Obama’s ecomonic policy outlay and compare that to Mr. Carter’s… look familiar?)
For those who think the economy is in the toilet, try looking at real economic data. The economy certainly isn’t as bad as BJ Bill babbled on about or as bad as the left-wing media has painted it to be. And I love how the libs talk about the “Rich Republicans”. How is it the Warren Buffets ($62 billion) and the Bill Gates ($58 billion) of the world are Democrats?? Or how about all the big-money Hollywood types? Hmmm…. makes you wonder, huh? sorta like Al Gore telling us to ride our bikes when he lives in a 20 room mansion in TN that uses as much power as 230 average homes… I guess when you are a rich liberal you can exploit the less fortunate and buy your carbon credits… must be nice. Where has Mr. Green-Jeans been, anyway?? Are the Dems hiding him away?
Here is some data for you to look over and learn something about where average income has gone. The Census Bureau just released its annual report that includes real, median household income for 2007 ($50,233) This was the third annual increase in real median household income. Compared with 1967, the first year for which household income statistics are available, real median household income has increased 29.6%. (source: Census Bureau). And let’s not use the “rich got richer, and the poor got poorer” argument. On average, those who either call themselves Democrats or give to Democrat candidates or DNC or other Democrat causes are wealthier than those who call themselves Repbulicans or give to RNC or other Republican causes. (source: huffington post -fund 2008)

“On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.” Sen. Barack Obama seeing dead people at a Memorial Day ceremony.

wow – the same old stuff in a fireworks display. And is Obama REALLY going to unify Washington? His voting record (when he voted) was in line 96% of the time w/ the Dems…
Obamanation – the land of milk and honey! I can’t wait!

Tucker Bounds (McCain’s campaign manager) talking about Obama’s speech tonight on Larry King Live (CNN), looks like a “deer in the headlights!!!!
He looks “shaken” and VERY AFRAID!!!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!

Stanley Kurtz’s Fairness Doctrine Preview [Guy Benson]
Stanley Kurtz’s appearance on the Milt Rosenberg radio program in Chicago last night provided an unsettling look into the authoritarian tactics being employed by the Obama campaign to stifle and intimidate its critics.
I happened to be in the WGN studios for the entire affair because my friend, Zack Christenson, produces the show in question. He was aware of my previous reporting on the Obama-Ayers connection and kindly invited me to sit in on the two-hour interview. (For full disclosure, I work for two other radio stations in Chicago, WIND, and WYLL).
As I arrived at the downtown Chicago studios a few hours before show time, the phones began ringing off the hook with irate callers demanding Kurtz be axed from the program. It didn’t take long to discover that the Obama campaign—which had declined invitations to join the show for its duration to offer rebuttals to Kurtz’s points—had sent an “Obama Action Wire” e-mail to its supporters, encouraging them to deluge the station with complaints.
Why? Because, naturally, Kurtz is a “right-wing hatchet man,” a “smear merchant” and a “slimy character assassin” who is perpetrating one of the “most cynical and offensive smears ever launched against Barack.”
Evidently, much of Obama nation is composed of obedient and persistent sheep. They jammed all five studio lines for nearly the entire show while firing off dozens of angry emails. Many vowed to kick their grievances up the food chain to station management. After 90 minutes of alleged smear peddling, Milt Rosenberg (a well-respected host whose long-form interview show has aired in Chicago for decades) opened the phone lines, and blind ignorance soon began to crackle across the AM airwaves. The overwhelming message was clear: The interview must be put to an end immediately, and the station management should prevent similar discussions from taking place.
One female caller, when pressed about what precisely she objected to, simply replied, “We just want it to stop!” Another angry caller was asked what “lies” Kurtz had told in any of his reporting on Barack Obama. The thoughtful response? “Everything he said is dishonest.” The same caller later refused to get into “specifics.” Another gentleman called Kurtz “the most un-American person” he’d ever heard. Several of the callers did not even know Stanley’s name, most had obviously never read a sentence of his meticulous research, and more than simply read verbatim from the Obama talking points.
As Rosenberg repeatedly pointed out that Team Obama had been offered the opportunity to take part in the conversation, the agitated masses adapted their argument to suggest it was outrageous to request an interview from the Obama campaign in the thick of the DNC. Delivering the line of the night, Rosenberg countered, “The Obama national headquarters is just down the street from here. They obviously have the time to send out these angry emails, but they can’t walk a few blocks to our studios?”
Throughout the open-line segments, Rosenberg and Kurtz wore incredulous expressions. The hostile callers were so bereft of any legitimate argument, there was little to do but sit back and marvel at what was going on.
The experience was surreal, amusing, and chilling. In a matter of hours, a major national campaign had called on its legions to bully a radio show out of airing an interview with a legitimate scholar asking legitimate political questions. Coupled with the Obama campaign’s recent attempts to sic the DOJ on the creators of a truthful political advertisement —which also happened to feature Obama’s relationship with an unrepentant terrorist— last night’s call to action represents an emerging pattern. Any criticism of Obama’s unknown past is to be immediately denounced as a “smear,” and the messenger is to be shut down at all costs.
Stanley Kurtz is poring through mounds of documents (access to which was initially blocked) in a public university’s library that (a) establish a deeper link between a major party presidential nominee and a man who is proud of bombing US government buildings, and (b) shed light on said candidate’s brief, unexplored executive experience. It’s entirely understandable why the Obama campaign would prefer that the files remain out of the public eye until at least November 5, but Kurtz’s careful research is completely within the bounds of reasonable inquiry. One might even argue it’s vital that a man who may be the next leader of the free world be thoroughly vetted.
Team Obama is fast becoming the campaign that cried “smear.” They labeled the National Right to Life committee “liars” for providing evidence of some unpleasant facts about their candidate’s record on a series of infanticide votes. This tendency to lash out and engage in baseless name-calling not only smacks of desperation; it also may foreshadow an Obama presidency’s strategy in handling unfavorable media reports and sources.
If anyone still believes reinstating the Fairness Doctrine isn’t a top priority for the American Left, last night’s example offered a stark and alarming wake-up call. Still not convinced? For goodness sake, read Jonah’s book.

One key difference in the candidates is that the McCain has the ability to work with both Dems and Republicans to get the job done. McCain and Hillary both proposed the summer gas tax relief, and Obama dissed this so we are paying higher gas. The gas tax relief worked in Colorado when they reduced the tax, and it could work again. It seems that if Obama doesn’t think of it first or doesn’t get the credit for thinking of it – then he is not interested in playing. We need someone who can make the changes we need, not just talk about them. One of the last bills Obama proposed was to give US taxpayer money to the UN so they can build a military and the UN can redistribute the wealth to other nations. He is too liberal and inexperienced.

NEWS FLASH!
GOP Considers Delaying Convention Due To Tropical Storm Gustav!
Staging a convention during a major natural disaster would be a public relations challenge for either political party. But GOP officials say the burden could be especially heavy for their party, whose reputation was tarred by the Bush administration’s bungling of Katrina and its aftermath in 2005.
I have predicted this from the start! Two weeks ago I predicted that when the Republicans “prayed” for rain to ruin Obama’s acceptance speech, that they would crash – guess what? They did!!!!
These losers just got their Butts kicked by Obama and they want to run and hide and regroup… What a bunch of losers!!!!
History will not look favorably on this…
Obama/Biden ’08!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like we have some prognasticators in the midst. Can you predict how Obama will pay for 95% of us to get tax breaks? I think Obama made it clear that businesses would be writing the checks for his costly cuts and the milk and honey things he’s promised. And who is it who employs us folks…yep businesses! Everyone talks about big CEO bonuses. Guess what? A good CEO drives in business and creates diversified products and services. If they don’t, they get fired. That is why they make big bucks. Only those who think they can not aspire to be the CEO want to take the CEO’s money. Redistribution of wealth = socialism. Where has socialism worked? No where. Even teeny, tiny homogeneous Denmark has problems. The garbage man and brain surgen making the same amount of money doesn’t work. Period.
Obama has a LOT to answer to from his speech last night and I suspect as many Democrat analysts are saying, they are a bit worried about that. And fortunately, the few times he’s voted and the many times he’s spoken on video or audio, have been VERY contrary to the centrist he tried to portray last night. Either he was lying for the 20 years he was a “community activist” (whatever that is) and state senator and during his quick blush as a US senator, or he was lying last night. I think it will become very clear when he was lying.
Storm or no storm, the Republicans will answer the Hollywood production we saw this past week. Anyone who thinks will begin to see we are a free nation with a free market economy and we don’t need the government digging deeper in our pockets. 95% of us getting tax breaks. Come on. THINK!
As Reagan said the scariest thing someone can is is, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
As for Katrina – the mayor of New Orleans was Ray Nagin – Democrat. The Govenor was Kathleen Babineaux Blanco -Democrat. And Govenors have the authority to call up the National Guard during peace times… so, who was to blame for the problems during Katrina? And please check the LA legislature to see who shot down funding for repairing the levies.
Obama will fail. He is not the exhaulted one as much as he has been puffed up to believe so. Take the teleprompter off and he lives in a country with 57 states, he thinks kids with asmatha need breathalizers, he thinks people in Afgahnistan speak Arabic, he sees fallen heros and the list goes on and on. on the gaffe chart he beats McCain 10-1. The only place he’ll beat McCain.

By the way, did we all notice that Obama is willing to debate temperment?
Uh oh. Door has been opened. McCain might want to learn some anger management.
Seems he had yet another blow-up with a reporter just a couple days ago. But at least he’s an equal opportunity spewer of venom. For a while, it seemed to just be directed at senators and his wife. Well, and Russians. And Iranians. And Iraqis. And women in general.
Okay, disregard the above. He’s always been an equal opportunity spewer of venom. And it really has no limits, except, oddly, for the Vietnamese who oversaw his imprisonment.

Biden isn’t known for being calm, cool and collected. That anger arguemnt isn’t going to hold water once Biden starts getting hot – especially when called to the carpet on his fibs about his education.
Looks like the Republicans have answered all of the Democrats positions. Biggest one is the “change” farce. Biden has been in Congress longer than McCain. So much for the outsider argument. “Chang. Hope. Hope. Change.” BS

Biden -what an idiot. Anyone who watched the Supreme Court Nomination hearings over the past years knows that.
Obama – where does he stand on anything? Gives a good speech, so let’s elect his speech writers. He attended a racist church for 22 years and regarded the Rev Wrong as his mentor, then dropped him like a hot potato. Chooses to overlook Bill Ayers past discrepancies. Good judge of character this one is.
John McCain caused ire within his own party when he chose to vote his own mind and not vote along party lines. A puppet of Bush? I don’t think so. Want a real change, vote those idiots out of Washington – R’s and D’s and let’s clean house. Congress has the lowest approval rating ever -and it’s led by Democrats. Imagine that!
And while your at it look around you . We haven’t been attacked since 9/11. The surge is working and for most Americans the economy is great. Hen I ask people if they are better or worse off than they were 10 years ago, they can’t give me an answer. Annoy a Liberal -work hard and be happy!
