Yes, I can certainly see why everyone’s taxes going DOWN, their loved ones coming home from Iraq alive, and all of us with healthcare is a dangerous situation…nOT!

It is remarkable how the tones of the two campaigns differ. On McCain’s side you have people shouting “kill him” and “off with his head” as they try to make Obama look like a terrorist. On the Obama side they are talking about actually fixing the country. McCain has shown us a lot about his real character over the past few days by sinking to new lows.

The McCain’s/Palin’s are basically reduced to inciting riots like…radical anarchists. And that is what they are accusing Obama of. Gotta love the irony.
Better luck next time McCain.

2nd Source Confirms Obama Socialist Party Membership, Plus How They Infiltrated Democratic Party
Yesterday, we disclosed 2 documents, a archived press release from the New Party in 1996 and an archived Populist Progressive article, both confirming Barack Obama’s membership in the Socialist Affiliate of the Democratic Socialists of America. On Wednesday, I went hunting for additional sources…

It is shamefull how low McCain/Palin have gone, so much for Christian people.They are not the kind of people I want running our country. As people in the crowds at their rallys shout out harming Obama they just keep smiling.Anything happens to him its on the both of you for promoting this behavior. You should be focusing on the problems of our Nation, your disgusting.

Obama did a little more than sit on a
board with a college professor.
Lets not go into personality.
LETS TALK MONEY$$$$
Obama could not even handle the
community organizer job. Obama lost
a bundle of money. Ayers was head of
CAC who worked with Obama on distributing millions to grantes in the
wards of the city. OBAMA FLOPPED BIG
TIME. Obama squandered the dough.
(do your own research).
SO I’M NOT TALKING WHO’S GOOD, WHO’S NOT
Obama could not handle a simple job
of community organizer – he bombed.
Now he wants to be president.
Someone needs to ask Obama directly.
“So tell me the outcome of your CAC job”

Cindy Stepford needs to quit. They are so desperate to keep their heads above water but their tactics are turning more people off. The ONLY people who are listening to this BS are the people who are intent to believe ANYthing bad about Barack anyway. Heaven forbid anything happen to Barack/Michelle or the girls because of the hate that the McCain camp is instigating, because if something were to happen THE BLOOD WOULD BE ON THEIR HANDS. There are enough crazy people who are capable of carrying out an act of violence against Barack without Palin, and UNIFORMED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS feeding them. Shameful beyond belief. The Republican Party is a disgrace! I’m proud that the Obamas are carrying themselves above the McCains.

McCain wants to change the subject from the economy to Obama the “unknown”. The problem is that most of us are living in this economy, which is why the candidate who is discussing the issues is winning.
Obama is thoughtful and composed. McCain doesn’t seemed to have these qualities. He has run a reactionary campaign filled with personal attacks.

Come on, folks. Lets talk about
Bill Clinton. No?
You don’t want to talk about how
Bill stated that he blames the
democrats for the economy?
(does Hillary feel the same?)
How about Obama’s record on voting
against Israel? No. Don’t want to
mention that either?
How about Obama’s community organizer
job where he bombed out with the MONEY?
No; don’t want to talk about that either.
I suppose we could then cuss each other
out. That’s always hilarious. You dems
are so much better at cussing. We’ll
try harder. (Voting record? community
organizer fiasco? Still no?)

We don’t really know him, because the information isn’t discussed. Hey what does everyone think about Obama’s membership in the “New Party,” a socialist political group, as late as 1996? Know about it? Why not?
We know all about Todd Palin’s membership in some fringe AK party, right? Why not Obama?

Ayers- Home Grown Terrorist-Associate at least
Jeremiah Wright-Obvious racist and American Basher- Paster/Advisor 20 years
Khalid Mohammad- Ex PLO and muslim radical- Friends/verified by Michelle and Obama.
Acorn- Community Organization that strong armed banks into giving loans to low income people that could not afford them, now and has been involved in voter registration fraud- Obama was their Lawyer and Trainer
Just these four not to mention the many more should at a minimum cause any and all Americans to pause. If you are an American and this does not cause pause. This shows exactly why we got caught sleeping on 9/11. Like the man or not you have to question his associations, he will be the President if elected, he will select people to run the Agencies that work for the American people, if he appoints radicals to run these agencies what do you think will happend? it is all about Judgement and your way of thinking. We all have people that are our friends that we don’t agree with on everything, but if you take most people and you choose 5 of their closest friends and 5 of their closest acquaintances, they all will have a common thread running through them, this is the thread that brought them together in the first place, for once people choose logic. I don’t care if you question McCain, you should question him on his associations because the same goes for him, but stop being so outraged by these questions of peoples character and associations, it is neccessary. Let’s remember the economy is bad yes and we have been here before and we have made it through and we will make it through, but when all is said and done and the economy is back on track and we start to see progress, it will be to late to then question these peoples chracter and one of them will be in the White house and it will be to late. We as Americans can multi-task, we can be concerned about the economy, jobs , our 401K etc. and still be concerned about the charecter of the individual that will be elected to run our country.

The truth hurts. Obama has lied repeatedly
about his close association with Ayers and also Reiko. Felon Reiko who was affiliated with Obama both in his campaign and personal dealings, is now serving a prison term for money laundry, fraud etc, Look at what is going on with ACORN, Obama’s favorite charity cause. Need I say more there?

This is such a sad commentary. I hear nothing but hate speech from the conservative commenters. Which reflects the leadership of McCain/Palin. I am so sick of the Obama is the Anti-Christ, he’s muslim, he’s a socialist. It just goes on and on. At this point, the McCain/Palin supporters are so desparate to prove that Obama/Biden shouldn’t be elected, that they have done very little to prove why McCain/Palin should be elected. Obama provides ideas and McCain provides reasons Obama should not be elected. Most of which are lies and innuendo. It is sad. I used to respect John McCain. This campaign has revealed him to be a desparate old man that is willing to do anything to be elected, including abandoning his previous values and beliefs.

There is an undeniable difference between Obama and McCain, their campaigns, and their wives, as well. Watching Michelle Obama’s interview with Larry King last night demonstrated a tremendous grace and dignity in, hopefully, our next First Lady. Both Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin could take a few lessons from Mrs. Obama.
Posted by: Malek | October 9, 2008, 11:44 am 11:44 am
Did anyone question or know why the McCains left the debate so abruptly after shaking a few hands? Besides McCain’s hesitance to make eye contact with Obama again (very telling)and his refusal to accept Obama’s handshake, that was a dumb move. Those gestures made him look even more bitter and angry than he appeared during the debate.

If they stay on the issue of the economy they will lose. That’s a pretty fair statement because obolony and the liberal socialist democrats have the public believing that only republicans made that mess so it’s a losing battle. To try to make kool-aid hypnotized obamanities believe that the democrats didn’t listen when McCain told them 2 years ago that this would happen would be to no avail. Obolony has 3 of the biggest crooks of the fall working for him right now! Obolony was 2nd in line receiving the most money from these crooks. But that’s the kind of facts that is ok with the dems.

Perhaps Americans are discovering that one should vote democratically in a democracy and republican in a republic…
A republic is usually run by an elite few – who make most of the rules and the money.

During Thursday’s vice presidential debate one of the candidates said, “Along with France, we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon,” and, “Our commanding General in Afghanistan said the surge principle in Iraq will not work in Afghanistan,” and that Barack Obama “did not say he’d sit down with Ahmadinejad.”
None of those statements is true. So who made them? Was it Sarah Palin, whose lack of foreign policy knowledge was said to be a liability?
No, it was Joe Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
As The Wall Street Journal also notes today, Biden invited Americans to join him at Katie’s Restaurant in Wilmington, Delaware, to witness the struggles of the middle class. Problem is, Katie’s closed down about 20 years ago.
