Barack ‘Isotoner’ Obama to Take Off His Third or Fourth Pair of Gloves and Get Tough

Just call it like it is
McCain is a LIAR – FACT
He has lied over and over and over again

Obama pledged to accept public financing while campaigning but after selected as the nominee stated he would not accept public financing. All reports indicated that he had mega bucks flowing in. So why does the Chicago Tribune report the story about the Obama campaign cannot afford a few trinkets to the Girl Scouts? John McCain’s campaign stayed with his pledge, and took the public financing, which left him at a disadvantage but gave the girl scouts some trinkets as requested. Obama’s campaign wants to CHARGE for the trinkets (bumper stickers $3.00 each, yard signs $8.00 each). Yes, the Girl Scouts are too young to cast their votes for Obama, so throw them under the bus? Real changes we can count on!

I don’t suppose we will hear the outrage from Tapper and Halperin over Obama’s nasty commercial. So much for “the issues”. Pictures of McCain from the 1980s is covering the issues?

That first line!
“Like any number of Democratic candidates before him — Mike Dukakis, Al Gore, John Kerry — Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, ”
ohhhh classic… what do all of these names have in common besides “taking the gloves off…”?
They all LOST THEIR ELECTIONS!

Jayhawk: For a while I was thinking Obama will be our next President but now I can not see it. I received an email from Amazon track America’s Political Book Buying. I noticed that large number of states are reading Obama Nations. I strongly feel he will not win based on the high percentage of states and readers of Obama Nations.

The only reason McCain drags his wife around with him to every campaign stop is that she gives the impression that he is alive. This is supposed to convince people that he is younger than he really is. Besides, Michelle is home taking care of their two young children.

Obama ran on his “change” personality, his celebrity, his newness.
People more and more see Obama is a do-nothing cronyist divider, not a uniter; is a has-been pop political celebrity and is becoming a seen-too-many times, nothing new there Washington insider.
He changes is positions on issues faster than Biden speaks another gaffe and his choice for Vice-President was very weak, even Biden, his choice for Vice-Preisdent, admits it.

Did anyone notice that Michelle Obama was present to show her respect for the 9/11 event? All the Cindy, Laura, others were there but her. She should have attended. This was a very important event to show that she does not hate America and show respect to the 9/11. There no excuse for her not attending. Poor judgement on her and Obama.

mich mike: It looks like Michelle isn’t proud to be an american any more. Where was she yesterday? This was very noticeable to the public and considered an insult to the all america that the possible First Lady of the United States couldn’t make the rememberance.
_____
I noticed too and do not understand why she did not attend the event. it just did not look good for her not to attend. I do not know what to make of it.

I have personally come to the conclusion that people are going to have to be an educated consumer because you can’t believe many of the statement coming from the media and candidates tend to put their spin on things. I’m tried of people insulting my intelligence by stating lies that can be easy checked just by clicking onto Google. To that end, I have weighed the policies of the Bush administration and what each candidate has offered in the way of change. (Economically & politically) I have determined that I want a government who is concerned about ME! (THE MIDDLE CLASS) I know we need big business, but big business also needs ME! I am working harder and seeing less of my money. So, if my funds are limited how can I buy their goods and services? I’m tried of hearing that the tax structure should benefit big business while the government and industry suck the life out of ME. I m voting for a ticket who I believe will work for ME!
Obama & Biden

It was noticed this morning that the interview of Palin was edited by ABC. Most of your answers were cut.

I wanted to respond to Flordia Voter. I feel you misinterpreted the quote in Obama’s book. He is saying not that he is in support of radical extremists, but instead he is going to stand by innocent American citizens if the political atmosphere in this country becomes hateful. Much like it was when all Japanese immigrants were placed in enternment camps just because they immigrated here from Japan. They had done nothing wrong and were being punished because they happened to be born in Japan. They were U.S. citizens. Obama is saying that if the politicians of today want to treat U.S. citizens unfairly because of their race, country of origin or religion he is going to stand up for them. That is obviously the side of right. If you or anybody else can not see that I advise you to take a look in the mirror and think about what it would feel like if your race or relgion were being prosecuted, just because a group of extrmists with a similar religion did soemthing crazy! Please let go of your fear and think rationally. You are much more likely to get killed in a car accident then by a religious extremist.

These attack ads STINK big time.
Obama needs to take off his 6th glove. He doesn’t know how to punch at all.

Senator Obama has me dealing with a small SLIVER(about himself)..and his VOTES that declare a PRESENCE–it does seem to me that Obama is a dealer(not a wheeler)..his main object in politics is towards the WHEELER-DEALER(lifestyle)..Hillary Clinton also seems to TOUT–this aim(eyesight)(??)who really knows..//..consider John S. McCain and I think you GET-what-you-SEE..or what you HEAR is likely to be track-able…//..men like Obama and Kerry really attempt to play CONCEAL+COVER…and really just don’t get it.

Obama’s ad works. McCain doesn’t even use e-mail. The contrast of technology since 1980 when John McCain first came to Washington points out that McCain is the insider. You don’t become Mr. Change less then 54 days before the election. By now we all know he has seven house but lives in online 4. Do the 4 houses have computers online?
Schmit and Rove campaign ads scare everyone because they are branding the Media are “Piranhas!”, Democrats are “Wolves” and talented Artists are just lite “Celebrities” without talent and their voice doesn’t count. Also Schmit and Rove attempt to play the victim when ever the Democrat’s response. This will be the election that will be studied by historians. How did they do it? They took out everyone with negative ads and then created their own celebrity who is running on a open playing field now.
Ads do play an important role, but Voters what a more complete picture, which interviews on the mainstream media shows give. Now a artist Matt Damon said something that a lot of voters are thinking we will never get to now the real Palin in the next 53 days no matter how much Scmidt and Rove spin. Will Scmidt and Rove allow Palin to do all the mainstream shows? Will McCain talk to the McCain soon? Or Schmidt and Rove going to sit on their lead for now?

Obama breaks his word again. Another disgustingly blatent contradiction of the supposed “Change” mantra. I believe that this will backfire badly.So much for being above the fray.

it isnt mocking it is just telling the truth….mccain is way out of date the idea of screw the working class and the poor has been done the last 8 years we dont need more of the same.

Palin, doesn’t know what the Bush doctrine is, doesn’t know that McCain is against going into and striking targets in Pakistan and has been highly critical of Obama for saying it, meanwhile Bush has decided it ok to strike inside of Pakistan something Obama said we should be doing. So it appears that both Palin and McCain are both out of touch with one another and with George Bush. I think they are just out of Touch Period

The US are becoming one of the most hated countries in the world with North Korea. As a US citizen living outside the US, it’s a shame for us. After 8 years of Bush presidency, our image is devastating. The Republicans are really out of touch with the issues.

Barack Obama chair of the senate foreign relatons commitee on Afghanistan, has never attended one meeting, but stated that “we didnt have enough Arabic translators in Afghanistan because they are being used in Iraq”
THEY DONT SPEAK ARABIC IN AFGHANISTAN, BARACK!
At least Governor Sarah Palin knows that Iran is not a small country that poses no threat. Geeeez.

Lets tell the truth. We (republicans) started these lies instead of the issues. I am sorry to see what my party has become. I don’t need negative ads to vote for Obama. All i need to do is go food shopping, buy gas, Iraq, bush (voted for him 2 times lol)and the list goes on!

Just what IS THE Bush Doctrine? To many Journalists seem incapable of asking nuanced questions except for those designed as Gotchas.
What was the Clinton Doctrine?
What about Bush 1?
Does Barack have an Obama doctrine? someone should ask him.

Obama was afraid to have 10 townhall forums with John McCain to talk about the issues.
More evidence that Barack “No Backbone” Obama is running scared.

Obama’s insistence that he won’t get down in the gutter, like so many of his promises, was broken. This “transformational” candidate, who has voted with his party more than McCain has voted with his, shows again that he is a product of Chicago politics.
The only reason he’s popular, is that he is promising the biggest free ride in our history, in promising free healthcare, childcare, and massive government entitlement programs.
ALL of our founding fathers believed in smaller government, which Obama wants to radically enlarge, to the tune of $864 billion dollars.
How can Dems whine about Bush’s deficit, and Social Security, when their candidate has said he outright can’t balance the budget?

badger—-fred is right i have been in 13 countries thsi last two years and i had to tell a couple of people i was from canada or i would have been beaten i am sure…. america (george bush and republicans) are hated in most other countries. it is fact dont lie and say it isnt i have seen it with my own eyes. we need obama to correct the distruction bush has done to us.

Badger: “THEY DONT SPEAK ARABIC IN AFGHANISTAN, BARACK!”
Going back a bit there aren’t we? Anyway, actually, Arabic is spoken in Afghanistan – it’s not by any stretch an official language, but there are numerous Arabic speakers (google ‘afghan-arabs’ for some insight into that). The bottom line is, there actually is a need for Arabic translators in Afghanistan.
But that’s not to say there’s a shortage of Arabic translators due to them being deployed in Iraq though. As far as I could gather from reports and comments at the time, there are enough specifically Arabic translators there. However, the wider point that Iraq is a drain on resources (including, bearing in mind that they tend to be multi-lingual, translators in general, rather than specifically Arabic) from Afghanistan was valid.
I’m sorry, that probably messes up your yelling. You can ignore the facts and just go back to shouting if you like, I won’t stop you. ;-)

The ad should really point to the fact that McCain says workers who lose their jobs should be retrained yet he does not know how to use a computer and does not even try. So much for professional development in an age of change.

badger— i have seen it and heard it for myself… yes cubans and mexicans are trying to get here do you see anybody from a industrialized nation moving here??? um no.

Tom,
How about kick all the hated America, and terrorists out and let the loved America in?

jane—- i am with you lets kick all the republicans out so us common hard working can be prosperous once again.i love my nation and i am sick of what the republicans have turned it into.

bluecollarbytes: “Just what IS THE Bush Doctrine?”
It’s something anyone who knows anything about US foreign policy, particularly as relates to Iraq and Afghanistan, should know about. If you want to know more about it yourself, just google “bush doctrine” (with the quotes) and look at any of the 466,000 results.

jane—whatever!!! and you shoudl be scared if mccain wins thsi nation will fall down into a civil war. we true americans will start a new revolution if the evil empire republicans steal another election.

Michigan Voter
Your response was that I misinterpreted the quote in Obama’s book. This is a problem with almost all of Obama’s policies and conversations…misinterpreted, misunderstood, or just plain not clear. In the book, page 261 he does NOT say American citizens…you just threw in the words “American Citizens”, just like he does not say Muslims as others are throwing in. He says “should the political winds shift in an ugly direction, he would stand with them” meaning any distinct racial group in America (Muslim, Arab, Pakistani and so forth) because of unfair racial treatment. What American’s want to hear is that their American President will place “America First” not stand with a secular racial group, and their President will resolve the unrest and racial problems as our leader. We all already know that unfair racial treatment needs to be defused and made safe for all— but Michigan Voter; the important words missing are “standing by America” because political winds will change all the time that is a fact of life. If elected, Obama’s job will not be that of a community organizer anymore, he will not be able to just stand with one group of people because they might be receiving some false resentment from some of the American people. America is mostly full of level headed people that care about their country and unfair racial treatment. We’ve come a long way from the days of slavery. If elected President Obama’s job is to represent ALL THE PEOPLE of the United States, not a handful of racial groups. His job is to bring America together as a whole to solve these problems, not to join the

“Obama mocks McCain as computer illiterate. By NEDRA PICKLER”
What in the world it got to do with running for President? Dems (Obama) ran out of “agenda” or maybe all the brightest people have left the Obama’s campaign?
========================================
I agree..Sen. Obama is childish.

Can any McCain/Bush supporters provide any specific policy points to address the economy.
We, on this post, can assume that by not providing any, that you, nor your nominees (McCain/Bush)have none. Please give specifics. How is a McCain administration going to address the economy?

Mark SM, Obama’s childish, but the McCain/Bush camp can run adds Obama with Paris Hilton. Give it up dude.
He’s making the point of how incredibly out of touch McCain/Bush is. He can’t send an email? My 5 year old daughter can boot up the ol’ Mac, open her account, and send an email to her grandmother.
I think it’s an effective line of attack. The old man is out of touch.
Further evidence of the add’s effectiveness, it has your hackles up.
It’s a battle for the daily news cycle, and Obama and Ploufe are hip to this game.
Give em’ hell!

Obama is a child, why would you mock McCain on not knowing how to use a computer?
Grow up!

sgt pepper
Please stop it already. you can sugarcoat this all day, but those are all particularly damaging quotes. As for Biden being modest,,,,Yea, ok, I’m not buying that one. Even he was being modest, he was putting Obamas judgement into play at the same time.

This campaign is a trainwreck…
McCain is the man.

The DNP, under the leadership of Mean Dean, a failed presidential hopeful, decided it was so important for states to vote in a peculiar order, that Fla. & Mich. voters were denied a voice in selecting the nominee for president! How many voters are in New Hampshire and Iowa vs Mich. & Fla.? Then Obama displays his judgement by going along with the good ole BOYS, the establishment, where is the CHANGE there?
Obama was trying so hard to be ‘black’ that he joined a very, very, large church, and tried to explain away the pastor’s extream expressions, only to later flip-flop on his decision, when the heat got to much. How will he stand up to Venezuela, Iran. Russia, N. Korea, the Republicans?
Senators Kennedy, Kerry, McGovern (retired), Biden, and Edwards, all failed presidential candidates, came out very early for a junior Senator and against Senator Clinton, who at least earned her stripes. How does Obama define CHANGE?
When the Democrats ask Palin what she will do about foreign policy if she is trust into the presidency….
Palin may say that she will select a very, very, experienced senator as VP.What are you going to say to that DUMMIES?
Now, DNP, your king is in jeopardy, you can streatch this game out, or just save your money for 2012–’cause you done shot yo’sef in da foot!
Any one out there UPSIDE-DOWN on a car loan? Well, you can understand where the democratic ticket is.
A Biden\Obama ticket may have a chance, but Obama\Biden is a long shot–course if your target is your foot…

Badger, if the past is truly up for grabs (Keating 5)…be careful what you wish for.
Remember, your boy has been in Washington for 27 years. Many more quotes sitting out there to tarnish his image than you’re aware of.
Remember Keating 5? Oooo. That’s change we can trust.
I tell you what, you guys look back. We’ll look forwards. Let’s see who the undecided, hit hard by the poor economy voter in Ohio sides with.

A Guy Named Keith,
Who did you vote for in the last 2 elections? Sounds like you may have a biased, or not really considering both because McCain/Bush has offered ZERO specifics on policy.
But, if you’re ok with electing the President based on his personal story, that’s you and that’s ok. But you should acknowledge your bias rather than project that you do not have one.

HERE IS A FAR MORE LEGITIMATE REASON TO QUESTION A CANDIDATES ABILITY TO MAKE DECISIONS.
Democratic debate January 2008
BARACK OBAMA: “I ask my staff never to hand me paper until two seconds before I need it, because I will lose it. And my desk in my office doesn’t look good. I’ve got to have somebody around me who is keeping track of that stuff,” said Obama.
And they want to mock McCain and internet emails?

If there is any job in the world that doesn’t require computer skills, it’s President of the USA. Obama said it is time to talk about issues….That’s why he is headed to SNL?

“He’s talking about standing against them in the face of fear and persecution.”
Erm, I mean, standing WITH them of course. That’ll teach me to half-edit my posts.

Obama’s idea of toughness is fighting like a 4th grader.
He obviously has a huge problem with strong women.

Wow, I am so disappointed in Barack. My grandmother doesnt know how to work a computer and (we have tried to teach her) and she shows no interest. Barack has gone negative and there is no way I will be supporting his candidacy anymore after this blantant insult.
Barack has obviously gone negative. Shame. He said Hillary will do anything to win, I guess him and his campaign will too.

Sgt. Pepper
I voted for Kerry and Gore in the last two elections.

“Sen. Obama himself is talented, resourceful and compelling” amazing how everyone has to make sure to say that obama is “talented” capable” etc. its soooo affirmative action and everyone is scared to say what they think. This guy is an empty suit. Take away the teleprompter and he sounds like a 4th grader stumbling and bumbling with no coherent or intelligent sentences. Amazing how this country has allowed political correctness to run amok. You are all morons and you deserve what you get!
I want to see a movement of “change” where someone will get up and say enough. How did we let this poster hanger become nominated. This emperor has no clothes!!! For crying out loud this guy has done nothing. I know 25 year olds that have 5 feet longer resumes then this guy. I know 30 year olds who run billion dollar funds or companies and make real decisions. And because of this guys color we are going to ruin a country that didn’t even make it to its 300th birthday?! Is the world going insane?! It feels like the twilight zone and if this guy gets elected it will be the twilight of this country, mark my word!

Tiffany,
I have a question to ask you because I am really curious. As a Hillary supporter, if Biden was kicked out as VP and replaced by Hillary, would you vote for the ticket?

I am sure Barack is more into technology than mc cain. Would that be an issue? i don’t know. But the more you have grown up on technology the easier it is. Just go put a 5th grader on a computer. The only bad part I see is mc cain has not been open and taken the time to learn. That says something about him. Won’t it be fun when Tina Faye plays Sara on Saturday Night Live?? Now there’s something to care about! :)

Stg. Pepper wrote: “He should be embarrassed not to know how to send an email. AN EMAIL. are you kidding me?”
I’m just guessing here, but I bet Presidents (heck, even Senators) can find people to send e-mail for them. Maybe even HIRE someone to do stuff like that. Someday Presidents might hire STAFFS, whose main job is to handle WHITE HOUSE COMMUNICATIONS.

Do you mean he’s thought of something else to call Republicans other than “racists”, “liars”, “bitter”, “ignorant”, and “stupid”? I wait with baited breath to see what fresh invectives he can hurl at people who don’t see his obvious brilliance in his attempts to heal the partisan divide in this country.

Obama can’t win with the media. If he’s too soft, he’ll be swiftboated like Kerry. If he comes on strong, he’s a negative campaigner. GEEEEZ.
Let me share my thoughts on this, mostly about the recent flap over women, aka the lipstick comment. Gov Palin can use a lipstick reference and it’s ok. Obama uses a very commonly used one, I’ve heard said by both men AND women, and suddenly it’s sexist. Well, I have to agree with the original meaning of the phrase, McCain-Palin are the same old thing, just dressed up a bit.
The past 8 years have been the most unbelievably corrupt in modern history. There were/are so many scandals that we are just overwhelmed. And the press is sleeping so much that they give it all a pass. McCain has capitalized on, then distanced himself from his relationship with Bush. Four years ago, I could have actually voted for McCain. That is to say, next to Bush, he (anybody!) looked good. But, in the past 4 years, he has sold his soul repeatedly to insure his nomination. And the final sale of his soul was his choice of Palin. This time he was pandering to women, and some bought it. They were truly “swift boated”.
For me, McCain’s true colors can be summarized in a few choice “Kodak moments”. One is his closeness with Phil Gramm. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Gramm become the next treasury secretary. Wasn’t Gramm a key author of the “Enron provision”, cleverly passed while the country was focused on the Supreme Court’s settling of the 2000 election?? The provisions of that bill, passed under the radar, set the stage for the Enron debacle. In addition, wasn’t Gramm one of the key backers of deregulation fueling our current housing crisis? Oh, but that’s right, we’re just a “nation of winers”. (Let them eat cake; and remember, McCain doesn’t even know how many houses he owns!!) And what about McCain’s desire to privatize social security, or perhaps everything?? We already are well along in privatization of the military, aka Blackwater. Why not continue? I guess “real women” don’t need homes or pensions.
Speaking of the military and McCain, what about another Kodak moment of his rendition of “bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran”? (Oh, was that a joke? Some things are not funny. Like war, esp for the countries we’re invading.) For such a supporter of women as McCain, doesn’t he realize that innocent women and children are most often the ones killed, injured, maimed when you “bomb, bomb” a country, any country? And, are you aware that the lesson McCain learned from Vietnam was quite different from that of history, that is, that we should not have invaded Vietnam? Instead, McCain learned from his Vietnam experience that we could have won that war if we only had enough fire power. I do think if McCain had his way, we would actually be in a war, any war, “for 100 years”. (Does anyone mention the fact that war is the ultimate anti-woman, anti-family act? And that this current conflict has set the status of women in the Middle East back about 100+ years? But then again, I haven’t seen to many middle eastern women struggling for freedom interviewed by the media.) How can anyone support someone who will continue this conflict? Does Palin’s aiming of a gun make it easier to support conflicts that hurt women most?
There are two things that will take this country down, certainly economically, 1) being in bed with corporate America and 2) continued war. John McCain has surrounded himself with advisors who are ex-corporate lobbyists. And his wife, noting that when tough decisions are made, is the only one in the room with him, has literally inherited a corporation. And, of course, we know he is very pro-military. And, with pro-military Palin by is side, that’s not likely to end. The only difference will be, according to Palin, God is on the side of the USA. (Right from Palin’s address to her former church in Alaska; very unsettling; you want to talk about “inappropriate religious comments”, this would be it.) A think a fundamentalist is a fundamentalist is a fundamentalist. And it’s all bad when it comes to leaders running a country. Again, just look to the Middle East for examples. Do we really need such a leader here?
And look at more examples of Palin’s thinking. She has asked a librarian about banning books. Why would anyone ask such a question unless one was contemplating it? And, she supposedly does not believe in global warming, although we have many pathetic photos of polar bears struggling to survive on her very doorstep. I thought after Bush’s idiotic clinging to that scientifically disputed belief (that there is no such thing as global warming), we would not find another prominent politician with that view!!! (As Ronald Regan would say, “there you go again!”) And what about “drill, baby, drill” in the face of FACTS that additional oil drilling WILL NOT HELP LOWER ENERGY PRICES, will NOT solve our energy crisis, and will actually delay, distract, deter this country’s emphasis on finding alternatives. AND will possibly 1) spoil natural, currently unspoiled areas and/or 2) result in a huge land grab of public lands by corporations.
Finally, let’s look at the hypocrisy of her party’s “family values”. Remember, they really stole that show. They are quick to judge others, especially “liberal Democrats” of losing their moral compasses. So, here we have a candidate for the second highest office in the land who has an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter. But, instead of causing negative criticism from this moral party, it’s suddenly ok to be a teen and pregnant. (Movie stars do it and now a very visible political candidate’s daughter does it, so it must be ok!!) This is a significant problem for our country, and instead of addressing the short term and long term issues associated with it, the Palins opted to “respect” their daughter’s “decision” to keep the baby and marry the baby’s father. Since when does a teenager living under her parents’ roof with poor judgment and no money get to “decide” what to do? How about adoption and then college? Would that be an option? Gov Palin had the perfect (national) stage on which to address the problems associated with teenage pregnancy, but she lacked the courage to do so. That might have put a damper on her debut, so she did what her party is known for, stifling the unpleasantness, and putting on an attractive picture for everyone to see. How does this advance the cause of women, especially young woman who do not have the fortune to be born a McCain or Palin and who really will face serious issues because of their decisions?
As you can see, Palin as the “real deal” for women is a little more complex than the media has made it out to be. The kiddy rush to embrace Palin has done what the Republicans are again famous for, it has simplified the issues making them (forgive my expression) “black-white” for the American people who are too simple-minded to see complexities.
So, unfortunately because of swift-boated voters, we might once again have 4 more years of covering up scandals, an ill conceived and unaffordable war, deals with corporate American that will put the final nail in the coffin of the middle class, and earth destroying environmental policies designed continue our addiction to oil.
Many of us are of the age to understand the term “token”. I think John McCain picked a token woman running mate and many fell for it. Karl Rove is alive and well and is laughing all the way to the lipstick counter.
Bonnie

the point isn’t that people have other people to do their email. the point is that he CAN’T use email. The point is that he hasn’t learned! Who doesn’t want to keep learning?? To not practice and use technology?? That’s weird. And not to be able to communicate but have others ALWAYS do it? Things can get lost in the translation! Have McCain sit with his grandkids for a day. they’ll show him how.

masstexodus—-yes and he crashed 5 planes and started a aircraft carrier on fire.

To answer your question..
I will never vore for an Obama/Hillary ticket. Why should Hillary, the most qualified and experienced candidate, serve as the vice-president of the shady character? Hillary won the popular vote and she shouldn’t even consider the second spot.
Also, if the Democratic party had not denied her the nomination, Hillary could have picked a better vice presidential candidate than either Obama or Biden.
Hillary 2012

It’s 1982 and Barry’s on the street looking to score some blow while John McCain’s in Washington serving his country after dutifully serving for years as a U.S. Navy flight officer and 26 years later Barry still can’t fly a plane and STILL can’t land a plane on a carrier.
In 2008 Barry may no longer be on drugs but he still seems confused as to just how many states there are in the country he wants to be President of.
Cut to Obama, “I think I’ve been to almost all of the 57 states now.” Looking at his aides for help. “ 52, right?”

Hey Tiffany and all other Hillary Clinton supporters..
i am puzzled why you guys continue to harbour such unconstructivr attitudes that doesn’t hel the demo camp..
yes, you feel strongly about Hillary and so do i..but the majority has spoken (voted) and so that’s what democracy is about..
Hillary and Bill have already come out in support of the DNC nominating Barack Obama..
should you vote McCain and the GOP wins in Nov, the ones that will be really be hurt wont be Obama, it would be ordinary folks like you, who would have to suffer more years of being an American who is not respected by the world, your fellow Americans who have to fight immoral wars, your education system that does not prepare your children for life, your economy that does not provide jobs for you, your healthcare system that does not take care of you when you are sick, your leaders (McCain / Palin) who does no realize that America is slowly but surely losing its no. 1 spot in the world..Only Obama / Biden (and with Hillary / Bill playing their roles) know that and they have plans to fix that..al the best to you all..

Sarah Palin is amazing and she rocks, I am voting for her period. Obama all he can do is to mock other people, so inexpierence of him. Stick with the issues nobama!

I just watched the new Obama ad where he attacks senior citizens. That will work out well for him, they are only about 1/2 the voters.
Does anyone in his campaign have any sense at all?

Barry Hussein says he’ll make government “cool again”…seen that one?
Government?…COOL?…again? LMAO!!
BTW, here’s the more apt analogy:
The PIG is the Democrat’s 75 year history of increased spending and expansion of government programs resulting in nothing more than bloated, ineffective, wasteful bureaucracies that did little to actually help anyone (but themselves).
The LIPSTICK is Barry Hussein and the notion that he offers any CHANGE from this FAILED ideology. In fact, he openly PROMISES MORE OF THE SAME!
Too funny, ain’t it?

I know of two cases of severe buyer’s regret in my lifetime.
The first was when my friend graduated high school and bought a new Yugo instead of a used Camaro.
The second was when Barak Obama chose Joe Biden as his running mate.
The Yugo lasted two months. I don’t expect Joe will last any longer that, either.

I just watched the new Obama ad where he attacks senior citizens. That will work out well for him, they are only about 1/2 the voters.
Does anyone in his campaign have any sense at all?
————————————
You are absolutely right, his campaign doesn’t have any sense.

Obama’s new ad just cost him Flordia. :)

The democratic party betrayed us. It presented us with a weak candidate who suffers from poor judgement. We got no choice but to vote for McCain/Palin in Novemeber. No question, McCain/Palin look much better than Obama/Biden in this election. Hopefully Hillary Clinton will give us the chance to vote for her again in 2012. With a new leadership of the Democratic Party, I know she will bring victory to us.

JMH—yes the gloves are off. we true americans have had enough of the evil empire nazi republican party. and there is millions of use that if the republicans steal another election we will start a civil war that will be the next revolution,our founding fathers would join us if they were alive. they would hate the republicans and what they have done to my country.

Johanna, because he’s trying to be the leader of the free world. He should be embarrassed not to know how to send an email. AN EMAIL. are you kidding me?
The world has changed. you can’t manage a country as if it were 1984. Pathetic that a potential leader of the free world is computer illiterate in 2008.
It IS an issue and rightly exposed. It speaks volumes.
——-
Yes it does – it shows you don’t understand.
The president does not use EM cos because they don’t want the president to be tracked.
So your point is moot – because even IF he did use EM – he wouldn’t be allowed to.
This is just a riff on Clinton and #41 – Same old, Same old
So unoriginal it was done last century.

Michelle made time earlier in the week to go on the Ellen Show and dance like rooster, but wasnt able to make time to pay tribute and remembrance to 911? What’s up with that?

“you can’t manage a country as if it were 1984.”

Tom………….along with your candidate Barack Hussein Obama and his buddy Ayers, you guys may consider creating an allinace with Osama bin Laden. You amy also add Rev. Jeremiah Wright as your spiritual advisor while you are at it. McCain/Palin 2008. Hillary 2012.

But I am afraid you are talking to the wall ——– None of the Marxist idiots that profess allegiance to Obama can read posts of more than two or three sentences. They stated in here this exact fact just the other day. They seem to mostly be from Chicago and a product of Obama’s education reform. ——– I agree wholeheartedly with what you say. I think many many more people agree with you as well but choose to remain quiet for their own personal reasons. The Obama DNC slime machine has run its course, the minions they thought they could count on are running in the other direction in droves. Hell even Biden would take a pinkslip layoff anytime. At one time the Obamanuts made me really angry but now they are becoming funnier and more desperate evry day. Obama looked like the Marxist Idiot he is last night even though that topic should have been his strong suit. He will be bloodied in the debates, if they happen, by McCain. —- gday

Apparently the idiot Obama never stopped to consider the reason that McCain is uncomfortable with a computer because the North Vietnamese broke his arms so many times that he can’t use one confortably.
_______________________________________
Oh yes, you are right, I forgot about that. Shame on you Obama for mocking disabled people! McCain will get him in any time soon.

bruce— the english had all the guns but who won our founding fathers did because they had justice on there side just like us democrats have justice and what is right on our side..

mesquito—why dont you evil republicans go over and live in iran or iraq in you like religous fanatics like your republican leaders.

Taking the gloves off – that is something you don’t talk about, you just do it.

• NEWS ALERT • NEWS ALERT •
PALIN EXPOSES HER IGNORANCE IN FIRST INTERVIEW
She doesn’t know what Bush Doctrine is!!!
“US-Russia war over Georgia may be necessary”
Says her international affairs experience is energy…. HUH, WTH???
Still vague on Global Warming cause. but flipped from her original
position She must have pissed off her fellow “Flat Earth Society” on
that one.
Palin gives non answers to most questions just launching into
memorized “change” diatribe. What a phony!
Plain links Iraq to September 11th attack
A view even the current administration has finaly rejected
In an earlier speech she suggested that Fannie Mae was a governmental
agency that would be cut back under her administraion.
Its a private institution.

“Goody for the Messiah…he can surf the internet.”

I think it will be hilarious if at the debate, McCain levels Obama with his connections to ACORN, Tony Rezko, and Ayers.
Obama: Senator, I don’t know where you got all these accusations from…..
McCain: The Internet.

“In an earlier speech she suggested that Fannie Mae was a governmental
agency that would be cut back under her administraion.
Its a private institution.”

“Why are Obama supporters so angry and so violent? Guys, this is a democratic nation; let’s not resort to violence. You make it sound like we are living in an Osama land. Guys, relax. This is America.”
They’re willing to lay down their lives for “the one”. He completes them.

The biggest science experiment in human histoy, The Hadron Collider experiment was almost blocked by a scared, vocal minority of Right Wing Religious Cooks convinced that turning on the LHC would spell doom for the earth. Yet some simple research and background in fairly basic science should have been enough to allay the fears generated by the LHC project.
Perhaps the Right wingers attack on science is having an affect in that our students lag the all other first world nations in science education. And now we have a VP candidate who actually supports the nonsense of Creationism. If you believe in creationism then you would have to reject all of Physics, Biology, Geology, Astonomy, Archeology, Mathematics and on and on.
Palin is a member of the
“Flat Earth Society”
Obama Biden ‘08

McSame voted with Bush 91% of the Time… NO CHANGE THERE!
McSame employs 134 Lobyests on his campaing…. NO CHANGE THERE!

Chris: Curious, why do you use Barack Obama’s middle name, but not John McCain’s, or Hillary Clinton’s?
It’s not like there’s some other Barack Obama you might confuse him with otherwise, is it?
And why, as a Clinton supporter, would you vote for McCain when their policies are about as opposite as they can be on many key issues?

There were more Republican Officials indicted under bush than any other administration by over 10 times…. Hypocracy and corruption run wild.

The problem is that both campaigns need to get past the same old, same old, and speak to the issues. The ad from my side released today about Obama attacking Governor Palin; well get over it RNC. Since when did Dems not call us liars? I give you the evidence of some of the posts here calling Bush and McCain liars.
As to Axelrod and the Obama campaign, they need to quit saying mayors are insignificant and belittling small town America and Americans. Prattling on and on as Mr. Tapper rightly pointed out about John McCain being like Bush is baloney. As we say in small town Mississippi, “That dawg don’t hunt”. What does hunt are statements like Obama said last night about mayors. He said mayors make sure the trees are trimmed, potholes are filled, and the garbage is picked up. I would like him to tell that to our Mayor! LOL!
And these two need to quit saying Americans are suffering. That line is getting old as well. My husband is unemployed, we have two kids getting ready to go off to college and are worried. However, we have a roof over our heads, food in the frig and know we live in America, where hope is just a job around the corner, but we just need to turn the right corner. Suffering is Haiti folks! That is real suffering. Texas after Ike is going to be suffering. We can relate to that type of suffering here in Mississippi. But as a whole “suffering” Americans are not growing on trees as compared to Somalia, Cuba, and Georgia, (that would be the country).
Instead here is a new line of thought for these two; TELL US WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO ABOUT REDUCING TAXES, DRILLING AND GROCERY COSTS. Dudes, milk is more than gas and when my husband had a job they taxed his checks at 42%. Now those are some issues you might want to discuss instead of lipstick on a pig, and he called me names, or he might call me names. Snap out of it DNC and RNC and get it together!

“SARAH PALIN’S OWN WORDS: As for that VP talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?”
Barry’s own words: uh….uh….I mean….uh…I barely knew Rezko

Sgt…easy keep the taxes lower, cut government corruption and wasteful spending—will help the economy. Economics 101 dear.

Philip Chia:
yes, you feel strongly about Hillary and so do i..but the majority has spoken (voted) and so that’s what democracy is about..
So what was the final delegate count at the Democrat convention? The PUMAs have been trying to get that info, but last I heard they were still being stiffed by Dean et al. Ah the Democrats: “Count every vote!”. Except, you know, the inconvenient ones.

And why, as a Clinton supporter, would you vote for McCain when their policies are about as opposite as they can be on many key issues?

I keep wondering if I should ask the Obamabots if they have figured out that referring to Palin as a small town mayor as a smear while ignoring she is the governor of the one the most powerful state governors in the US, is really really really annoying women who see it as typical chauvenistic belittling of women’s qualifications yet? I still don’t think most of the Obamabots got the memo yet….so please keep the insults coming.

Oh and let me tell you–the attacks on Palin’s kids especially the infant is really getting women motivated too (and alot of normal guys too). Obamabots, Palin doesn’t even have to campaign, your attacks are very very annoying to MOST AMERICANS.

don’t you people get it. It’s that he is to ignorant and set in his ways to take an hour to sit and learn about how to send an email. Email is the mail of the 21st century. Its like not knowing how to write a letter. This is the man who will have his finger on the button?Pathetic.

Developing: On September 12′s “View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg inquired of Senator John McCain, “do you want me to be a slave?”
The question was spurned by the Senator’s stance on Roe v. Wade. When McCain answered he supports judges who support the original intent of the Constitution, Whoopi drew a slavery comparison.
LMAO… more levers for McCain……
More details and a video to be added shortly.

“don’t you people get it. It’s that he is to ignorant and set in his ways to take an hour to sit and learn about how to send an email. Email is the mail of the 21st century. Its like not knowing how to write a letter. This is the man who will have his finger on the button?Pathetic.”
So don’t vote for him then. Nominate Bill Gates.

“More details and a video to be added shortly.”
Go post it on the dailykos where people actually care about what Whoopi thinks. I wonder what Oprah and Matt Damon are saying about it? Tool.

Maybe the reason Obama’s so um r-o-b-u-s-t on military escalation in Afghanistan is to MAKE ‘em speak the language he THINKS they speak — bring the rest of the world into agreement with His, er, superior understanding.

“Keep on talking about the media republicans and how its some liberal conspiracy.”
Most Journalists consider themselves liberal, so of course there is a bias.

Rubic’s Cube? Big Cell phones? Has Obama been on a college campus lately? The young hipsters of today are in love with the 80s. Connecting McCain to the style of the 80s just may lead to the opposite effect on his youthful followers. Now who is out of touch?

thanks Mack: Let me make it plain for you since it was to complicated for you to understand. Its that he is too stupid and stubbern to take one hour to learn how to compose an email and join the rest of us in the world. It shows bad judgment and idiocy. I don’t want Bill gates as my president but I do want someone smarter than me and you and definetly some old man who can’t use a computer. Is he going to have any new ideas when he can’t even get his brain around using a computer.. I don’t think so.

Obama doesnt have the millions Cindy has for nannys

Alls fair in love, war & politics. We shouldn’t start whining when the obamanites panic & start lashing out at
McCain’s experience

Arabic is widely understood in Afghanistan even if there aren’t too many native speakers of the language in that country. Pashto, Dardi, Uzbeki and otehr Turkish vartiants too are spoken. Urdu/Hindustani/Hindi and Farsi too will open doors for you anywhere in Afghanistan. And if you can sing a few verses from any popular Bollywood musical – Afghanistan’s most popular cultural form by far – you will have people going fida over you. Barack understands the wide world in a way that is comparable to Ted Roosevelt, Churchill, Jefferson, and Adams. RNC bots should be disappointed that the best they can come up with is to disparage learning. I am stunned at the ignorance of the RNC bot. The cable guy who installed my connection last year was dressed up in Harley gear, and when I told him about where I was born in SE Asia, told me that he has been in the Marines and spoke two languages from there fluently. RNC bots are out of touch with just about everybody. Every veteran I have met takes great pride in their international awareness, language skills, cultural awareness etc., RNC bots wake up!

Obama did NOT pledge to take public
money.
so you know want him to waste government dollars?
MAKE YOUR MIND UP!

Mack: Yeah you keep on saying liberal like every other republican but why is it when i turn on the tv i see wolf blitzer, bill o riley, lou dobbs, chris mathews, charles gibson, fox news. Where’s the liberal? and 99% of republicans don’t even know what liberal means. They use it as whoever thinks different than we do.

Wow. That 1982 ad is of the same production quality of some of the state senate ads run in my state. Good thing the Obama campaign has computer skills since they are obviously producing their ads on a PC in someone’s basement.

When are we going to talk about the “real issues”? Does either of these candidates intend to keep us at war to invoke the War Powers Act like W has and be the dictator he has? Does either of them intend to lead with 1200 signing memos (see Time magazine years ago), with which they render whatever the legislative branch or judicial branch does, null, as he dictates “forget what laws were passed and follow my signing memo?” Does either of them plan on ignoring all scientists like W has and assuming they know better about medicine, the environmental crisis, ET all? Does either of them plan on leading by lying to the American people to get us into a war, therefore rendering them OK with lying to the people about anything and everything? Do either of them plan on dictating to the justice dept or fire whomever doesn’t break the law for them? Does either of them plan to lead by totally ignoring intelligence reports until they let another major attack on our soil happen? Is this how either of them plan to “keep control” of the people? Do either of them plan to address the trillions of dollars that just the defense budget has put us into huge deficit? Does either of them plan to implement any auditing of the dept of defense? Do either of them have a plan for where to get the money W has borrowed from China, without zero thought of how easily China could break us in return? Does either of them plan on using any of the 911 commission recommendations or any of the findings of any of the other commissions W has reluctantly agreed to and then totally ignored? How do they feel about accepting information from others more experienced than them? How do they plan to choose those who will actually be running the white house and administration, as in Chief of Staff, Cabinet members, Secretaries, and other non-elected advisors?
Can they share any of resumes these people with the voters who are entitled to really know who is heavily influencing administrative policy?
Who and what do they think has made the mess we have gotten ourselves into in the last 8 years? We have been rolled back to 1935. How long will it take to clean up this mess? Can we just plan on the American standard of living being permanently changed until we live like the Chinese?

YES lets talk about the REAL issues please! First on my list is computer illiteracy!!! now that’s something we need to tackle in the first 100 days….
David Plouffe and and his rehtoric about “real issues’is totaly The Isotoner campaign!
keep saying lies and eventually someone will believe them…. (not that anyone in this campaign is right)
Paris Hilton for president! at least it will be designer lipstick!

Wow, it doesn’t take long looking through the comments to understand why the majority of the country doesn’t like liberals. A little humility would do you a lot of good. You might try getting out of the city once in a while and realize there is more to life.

“You’d THINK a guy running for president would have bothered to have the subcommittee on Afghanistan at least MEET, during his fleeting tenure.”
There were more important things to do, like putting on a concert in Europe and a spoken-word performance in front of a faux-greek temple in Colorado.

I think Obama’s latest ad on McCain being out of date (no use of computer, etc.) is great. It shows his age, his backwardness, raises questions as if you want Palin as President if he dies, but without saying so outright. He needs more of these ads, and Biden needs to attack Palin on her God complex. Having Palin in the White House turns the Iraq and Afghanistan war into a “Crusade”, not a fight against terrorism. She even wants to bring back a cold war with Russia (and maybe even a hot war with them)-scary people those Republicans.

That ad is hilarious… Hilariously bad on Obama’s part.
Is their campaign falling apart?
HAHAHA

Well it’s great to see Rove has managed to hijack this campaign…..if we don’t talk about the issues that are facing this country…we deserve everything we get. Wake UP…is this snarly stuff going to fix our problems? Lipstick on a pig, Bridge to nowhere, computers….listen to you. Rove is laughing at you guys, don’t you know he thinks we’re all stupid.

the US has become totally polarized — and this campaign’s divisiveness shows it clearly.
And I’m laying the cause of all this negativity right at the feet of the Republican Party, which has been at the forefront of releasing deceitful remarks and advertisements. Two recent examples illustrate this clearly:
McCain’s claim that Obama wants to provide “comprehensive sex education to kindergarten children” is a total distortion of a bil that Senator Obama introduced. The comprehensive portion referred to a total, age-appropriate, sex education experience for kindergarten children through high school. The kindergarten portion was simply devoted to introducing young children how to distinguish “inappropriate fondling” by an adult. And parents could opt out.
Secondly, McCain said Obama’s remark on “you can put lipstick on a pig — but it’s still a pig” was a clear, unmistakeable reference to McCain’s economic policies. But McCain heard “pig” and decided he meant Palin (who’s NOT a pig but is a mooseburger). In fact, McCain used the same reference on HRC’s health reform. Selective and very distorted twisting of the truth by McCain, methinks.
If you have done any reading, you should now realize that our Iraqi war was fueled by outright deceptions, selective use of data and outright lies by Bush. This war is a measure of Bush’s incompetence and leadership.
Do we need more of the same with McCain. I’d much rather have Obama’s vision and willingness to think about these issues — and to talk with our allies — rather than telling them “if you’re not for us, you’re against us”.
Obama wants to do right for all Americans — not just the top 5% who are the wealthiest.
[Which is why I cannot understand why there's such a large contingent of blue-collar workers supporting McCain, who will do nothing for them, except appeal to their fears and misunderstandings.]
Let’s bring some needed change and truth to our government, qualities seriously lacking in the Republican leadership. Pandering to Americans by selecting Palin, who believes in creationism and that humans have not contributed to global warming (oh, wait, she changed her mind on that yesterday!) should be insulting — but some American folks are lapping it up.
The Republican Party represents the lowest level of integrity and decency — and it’s apparent in their actions and how they present themselves to America.
The Democrats have attempted to focus on issues but have been distracted by the ugly deceit that is thrown out by the Republicans, who do NOT want an intelligent discourse on the issues.
Seth J H.

Obama has spent most of his political career in Chicago. But instead of “changing” anything in Chicago while he was there, he became part of the seedy underworld of the Chicago Machine. Any of the “accomplishments” that are listed as his, were in fact the work of other people who then had the Chicago Machine give their work to Obama to claim as his own. It’s going to be hilarious when McCain’s campaign hits back with these sets of facts.

Pineywood: Ok lets start drilling…do you know how long before we see any actual oil? Where are the refineries that we’re going to use? Do you think the oil will be kept in this country just for our consumption? Why haven’t the oil companies been getting oil from the Gulf of Mexico Energy Act? Opened 8 million acres of the Outer Continental Shelf…where’s the oil from that?

Yeah, I’m from Texas, and we provide about 20% of US oil. Oil, if drilling starts now, is available starting to flow in about 1 year.
You ask where are the gasoline processors, right now they are processing oil from those countries that don’t like us. Easy to see that using our own feedstock is good for the USA.

The main “issue” in this election is that the supposed Democrat is a mobster, and the supposed Republican promises explicitly to “drain the swamp” of the DC that made it possible for Obama, enabled by Democratic saboteur John Kerry, to hijack the Democratic Party.
——————————————-
That’s a laugh! The only women who swoon for McSame are ones who have a poor opinion of themselves as women, and need a terribly sexist person to make them feel respected. McSame has been around so much in DC that he is lobbyists and scame artists all the way. He is the swamp. Barack brings a fresh perpective and flair and appeals to the best in us, the America that speaks a 1000 languages and celebrates a 1000 cultures. Easy to understand why people who don’t know to use email hate that. My mom is 76 and is v.comfortable with PCs. McSame isn’t?

Obama is upset McCain is technologically deficient? When was the last time Obama landed a jet plane on the deck of a carrier at night on a rough ocean? A little harder and more technologically advanced than an email, I think.

This is worst ad that any one can use — you think those 65 yr old and above will like this? Leadership is about principle, character, and judgment, not about how to use some techniques. Obama’s ad is going to backfire.

I am here to tell you, It doesn’t take 10 years. That red herring being put out by the Dims.

Gomac: Ayers..old old old anti war-protester who certainly changed his life around.Obama was 8 years old Hello……

Here we go, once you are over 65 you can’t do anything. Dont forget the one thing everyone will do is get old or die, does that mean we are all doomed before we are done.

So…. does this as mean Obama has given up on Florida??? Way to reach that demographic!
Whether you are Repub (like myself ) or not, you have to admit this ad is a huge gamble. Gramps is not going to like this one…

I find it ironic that the oldest candidate has the freshest, most vigorous ideas, and the youngest, savvy one is SOOOOO last century: enforced volunteerism? that went out with Mao. Tax the successful no matter that it doesn’t bring in more money? We grew out of that when we threw out Carter. Get with the 21st Century, Pretender Obama, emporer with no clothes, can’t hide the facts behind your Blackberries.

Babs….: Go to factcheck …you are wrong!!!! Hey i was merely pointing out the fact that out of 4,000 votes he voted present 130 times. Pretty good precentage to me. “down right mean” I saw her make that statement and she was refering to the political system. As to the other 2 words you quote you will have to state your source…never heard it before.

actually when was the last time McSame landed a plane on a carrier? The McSame of today is a caricature, Naval officers would cringe to be comapared to. That’s why other combat veterans, Charlie Rangel, Wesley Clarke, or Powell, think McSame is on an ego trip. His own cell mate Philip Butler who spent much more time than McSame in the Hanoi Hilton thinks McSame is cheapening the POW heritage. Butler went on to earn a doctorate in sociology and teach at the Naval Postgrad School. McSame cheated on his wife, ditched her, and became a sugar daddy to talk , NOun, Verb, POW…
The keyboard commandos of LGF and other trashy sites would no doubt approve. I work with AARP folks all the time and they would be offended at the caricature McSame is.

Mack; if you go back on this site I believe earlier this week Ayers stated that comment was taken out of context…He was refering to still not doing enough ex; protesting to end the war.

That is great BABS. So true, so true

So anyone middle aged or older who is not a wiz, or is not dependent on computers is going to be insulted. Hellooooo…..

The Rubiks cube, we need a leader and this is what Obama comes up with. No wonder he’s losing.

Goooo Obama!!

Bushwacker08
If I were a left wing ACLU type, I would call you an age-bigot. Since I’m not, your “facts” are obvious to even a 3 year old.
Thanks for setting us straight, now get back to recess.

Obama has tried time and again to make this campaign about the issues only. The McCain campaign has tried to make it about Obama. Obama is just too nice. I think he should be running ads saying that John McCain wants to protect pedophiles and sexual predators. After all he doesn’t think children need to be taught about appropriate touching and to tell authorities. So McCain MUST be more interested in protecting pedophiles than he is in protecting children. Its basic logic.

Is this the only thing about McCain that the Obama camp can come up with? hahahahahahahaha…..Obama is sooooo done!
So what if McCain can’t use the computer! I’m not voting for someone based on their computer knowledge. How often do you think that the President of the USA sits at a computer?
MCCAIN/PALIN ALL THE WAY!!!!

RNC bots could do with some condescension and should be talked down to. It is their ignorance that got us into this mess in the first place. Which is why apart from Huckabee there isn’t an honest soul left in the RNC/GOP. RNC bots are full of smug ignorance and revel in their poor understanding. And added to that is the racist tinged jealousy. How dare an inner city couple who lived on food stamps challenge a scion of aristocracy and a redneck know nothing. That is why at the RNC not a single speaker referred to the civil rights struggle that saw the bravest and greatest Americans of the 20th century, as 1000s of unarmed people marching peacefully brought new meaning to what was said in 1776 by the founders and written into the Constitution. Compared to the giants who marched then, Dr.King and many others, braving truncheons, wild dogs, and water cannon, today’s RNC are mere marshmallow dolls. RNC bots can’t admit it, that is why they use the self same words that were flung at Dr.King. And this is the same party that sheltered a segregationist Thurmond and whose President Reagan was overruled when the Congress passed a resolution demanding that Mandela be freed from prison. I am glad Obama’s smarts set RNC bots’ teeth on edge. It is learning that created this land of ours and Obama represents the finest of that tradition. The RNC of today is abode to neither learning, nor honesty, nor dignity. The McSame-McPain ticket represents the nadir of RNC caliber.

tom
Do you think the Founding Fathers would be happy with today’s Democrats?
BTW: do you have 200 hands to shoot all of your weapons? Can’t you get by with just a rifle, shotgun and pistol?

Did anyone notice that Michelle Obama was not present to show her respect for the 9/11 event? All the Cindy, Laura, others were there but her. She should have attended. This was a very important event to show that she does not hate America and show respect to the 9/11. There no excuse for her not attending. Poor judgement on her and Obama.

Suz in KS, I teach my kids about strangers and in-appropriate touching. I feel that it’s my job as a parent to teach this. There are certain things that need to be taught in the home, not left up to the school. The government should not be involved when it comes to teaching our kids about “stranger danger”. That is our job as parents. I don’t feel that the McCain ad was calling Obama a pervert. It was simply stressing that this type of information is too much for kids so young.

no obama 08— not completely but more so then the republicans. oh i have alot of friends and family that feel like i do infact here in minnesota there is a group just in one corner of the state we have 2000 memebers. we are sick of the destruction the republicans have done and will start the next revolution if things dont go back to we the people instead of what republicans liek we the rich and powerful.

no obama 08
I would say zero, if you practice abstinence! Something palin forget to teach her!!
And don’t fool yourself, she will be on some kind of goverment assistance!!
She’s 17 year old! Do you think she can get a job that would allow her to take care of herself and a child??

no obama 08
The operative word is “daughter”. She not the governor, the mother is. So, you telling me her mother is going to take care of the baby (which makes 6 kids) and be the VP? Is that what you’re telling me, the mother will take care of her daughter’s reponsibilities? Oh Ok, gotcha!! I was lost, thanks for clearing that up. However, I come from a place where YOU take care of YOUR OWN responsibilities..

no obama 08
Do you guys really think the Dems just love giving away money? Actually Clinton is the one who cut welfare off, for those who abuse it. And oh by the way, if throwing away money is your biggest concern, why support a man if elected will keep troops in Iraqi for 100 years at 10 billion a month? Please answer that.. At 10b a month for the next 4 year would cost the country a half trillion dollars!!

What if John McCain is unable to use a computer due to his injuries? Is Obama really going to mock that? Is this all he has? Lame!!

Jessica– Please stop the nonsense! To quote to the great Obama! “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH”

Sometimes the truth just hurts – you McCain/Palin losers.
OUT OF TOUCH & MORE OF THE SAME!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!

Income tax handouts??
What do you want to know about it? And i hope you’re not referring to what Bush did, in order to try to get the economy going again! Please say you’re not talking about that..

Bushwacker08
Bush “stimulus checks” were one time appemts to get the ecomony turning around. Obama wants to make this a nonstop policy. That was a handout last spring, nothing less.

Bushwhacker08
Every income tax paying American got a small form of welfare, just once. BHO wants the top 5% to pay for the 40% of able bodied, nonproductive citizens.

“Are you defending Bush? You do know he’s the worst president in history, right? Just when i was starting to like our exchange.. tsk tsk tsk!!”
Now we know your true Identity. Hello President Carter. How are things down in Georgie

no obama 08
Surely you’re not saying those poor people deserved what they got, are you?

“should the political winds shift in an ugly direction, he would stand with them”…
Seems to me what Obama is saying is that he will remain true to American ideals rather than succumbing to knee-jerk and racist responses that go against everything America stands for. Seems pretty Presidential to me.
Also, the ad referring to McCain’s admitted inability to use a computer or send en e-mail may have gone over some of your heads as you were bowing down to hail Palin as the savior of your campaign. I believe that the issue was presented to reinforce the fact that McCain is so out of touch with real people and their problems. Jeez, my mother in almost 80 years old and she and her friends spend more time on their computers than I do.
When Palin was announced as the Republican choice for veep, it showed how desperate they were. I don’t think it would have happened had they put more “due diligence” into the pick. Everyday more and more will come out about her, and everyday, it will be more and more responses from right-wing shills, rather than the McCain/Palin, who might actually have to answer questions if they emerged from their protective shells.
Speaking of shills, where has Ann Coulter been through all this? Maybe she’s vacationing in the same place where the DNC has Sharpton & Jackson sippping umbrella drinks until November.

what gets me is the republicans pretty much think democrats are the wimpy bleeding heart liberals. well i am not! and i am sick of the republicans saying if you dont believe there way you are anti-american. well guess what there is nothing anti-american about wanting to have everybody able to have health care and to have better pay for the working class and to stop starting useless wars. and to think about the common person first instead of big business and the rich first.

McCain is a liar, and crazy but come on Obama is full of it

The job growth in his energy plan alone will be substantial under McCain. Someone is going to need to network all the new infastructure, build the facilities, pour concrete, wire the hardware, drill the holes, lay the ironwork, etc…. While it is not a final solution to our current woes, it is a better option than growing the lower class.

no obama 08
I really want to like you but you are really making it hard for me to do that..
Correct me if i’m wrong but are you saying its ok to be a war-profiteer?

jerry
And Jerry, by the way, Iraqi NEVER attacked the US! So, please explain why we are over there spending billions of dollars?

Bushwacker08
I’m talking about McCain’s domestic energy policy. Those nuclear plants, oil platforms, and wind machines are not going to be dropped out of the sky, like BHO.
You seem intelligent enough to see thru Obama’a dreamy speeches and easy-going personality. I’ll even admit that he seems like a friendly fellow, but I need more than that to vote for the guy for the most important job in the world.

no obama 08
Do you really think Mccain is smart enough to lay out a plan as sophisticated as that? Mccain needs to be worried about his health. Not some make-believe windmill. And Palin..need i say more??

Bushwacker08
Based on the potentials of the 2 candidates’ plans, McCain’s is forward looking, BHO’s is more of the same. Which in 4 years we will definetly be worse off than the Bush-bashers claim now.

What do BARACK OBAMA and NAPA VALLEY have in common?
WHINE

So McCain doesn’t know how to use a computer. Does Obama know how to fly a jet fighter?

Princess: the registration for the democrats is significant..since a lot of these voters will probably vote republican after seeing Obama’s flips and flops and moving more and more toward the right..he has taken some of
Bush’s policies as his own! As a registered Democrat myself, I have also swung to the right side of the aisle now, and wil vote straight down the line for all republicans on the ballot. My reasoning is that Obama is not what I thought he was and the do-nothing Congress needs a wake up call! I am sure millions and millions of people will be doing the same thing!

Both campaigns suck, both are way too negative, neither have made any concrete policy proposals, neither have told us how they would lead, both have demonstrated they are typical politicians engaging in politics as usual, and both have people that are way too inexperienced on their tickets. I believe that neither can deliver on change, and neither have workable plans for the economy. These are pretty desperate times. How is a person to decide? I honestly, truthfully don’t know.
I’m going to go with McCain, based solely on a couple of judgments. First, when you truly examine their records, it is very clear that McCain has not been doctrinaire and has worked across the aisle and with varied coalitions. He may have to pander to the right wing on abortion, but he hasn’t made a habit of introducing that type of legislation, and he has worked on important issues to be part of the solution throughout his career. I respect the members of the gang of 14 for being bi-partisan. It may be clear that McCain’s an egotist like all the others, but it’s also clear he loves America.
In contrast, Obama has worked only with the left, selected a far-left running mate like himself, has shown NO tendency to build coalitions, and was counting on a big democratic win to run things the way he wanted, with no blue prints or game plan. A democratic house, senate and white house with liberal leadership just can’t be a good thing.
McCain challenged Obama to 10 old-fashioned one on one Townhall debates, and Obama didn’t care enough about the issues to agree. He had an opportunity to convince people that he had real proposals and could carry them out, and he BLEW IT!
Second, I just really don’t trust someone who breaks their word because it’s inconvenient. It seems to me insane that Obama plans on being a reformer who will get money out of politics, and then refuses public financing because he wants to outspend McCain. That’s not right; it’s just not right. It only makes him more beholden to the rich, not less. The right thing to do was to accept public financing and live by those rules, and McCain did that and Obama didn’t. That’s hypocritical and inconsistent with Obama’s expressed values. If he can’t even honor simple pledges, I’m not going to give him the benefit of the doubt with the hopey changey thing.
In this incredibly ugly and nasty campaign, where both camps are behaving despicably, that

Badger
Don’t think that voting Americans don’t see the slant and arrogance of the left wing media. Remember this is America, and what is right usually prevails. No matter how hard the uber-noveau try to shape it.

SARAH PALIN’S OWN WORDS: As for that VP talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?

Somebody, not so long ago said he was tired of old-style politics and was going to run a “different kind of campaign.” Hmmmmmm. I guess bringing American politics to an all-time low is a different kind of campaign.

haha, an ad from Obama not about policy, but saying that John McCain is not an apple genius. whooowoooo! You really got him there Barack! A lot of people are gong to change their votes now.

Raising taxes in today’s mixed economy would be like throwing a struggling swimmer an anchor. Stick that in your computer, Barack.

Barry will win in November no doubt. There are white people in America who have common sense, even Republicans, and they will secretly check Obama when they walk into that booth. McCain is too old and picked a cheerleader who knows less than the average well traveled citizen about foreign policy. We would get attacked if that woman were president. She doesn’t know a hill from the beans, and she can’t reform what she doesn’t even know. Tell your friends to go register to vote, in tiny towns and big cities everywhere, the repubs will sink America if they get elected again, and we certainly can tell that from the pick of VP. Hey, did McCain almost loose his temper on The View? That was also scary to watch him say Roe v. Wade was a mistake. These crazy Christian right wingers want women in this country to behave as if they live in Iran. Thanks but no thanks. Stay out of my personal business. Since they preach less government all the time, then that should include staying of my religion, my body parts, and my morality. They should do their job, run the government. If I want to hear a sermon I will go to church.

A better America
Since George W Bush made it into Yale, are you saying that he is also a “genius?”

Sure Obama could have waited a term or 2 before he made his presidentail move but given the choices there is no choice …Obama at least surrounds himself with very capable technocrats… MCain & Palin are surounded by Cronys with no expertise in the field they are appointed to… Remember Katrina… and what happened… to make it more dire the current crop of Neocons.. has a feverish hate for government so it is no wonder that they do a really crappy job… let get folks who are really good at what they do in government
‘Obama Biden -08

Fess up who in the discussion post believe in CREATIONISM????

Given that the reason McCain can’t send an E-Mail is because of his war injuries and Obama insulted just about everyone who can’t use a computer (there are millions) this ought to be good for 2 or 3 points in the polls.
Obama needs to fire his research department. Probably will given his penchant for throwing people who work for him under the bus.

No one sat Obama down except Orielly and grilled him about Rev Wright and Ayers. When he did Obama flat out lied and stumbled through the interview. Yes, it was a time ago that Ayers bombed the capitol but he never not once apologized. This is a friend of NOBROMA’S. NOBROMA has never been scrutinzed like this, not about his resume which was built around being a community organizer. What the hell is that. Middle america doesnt even know what that job description is, never heard of it. Pailin has more experience then the Dems Presidential candidate and she is only running as the V.P. Why doenst Charlie sit him down and Talk about Renzko,Ayers,Rev wright and why his own V.P thinks he is not the right guy for the job. Please someone sit him down and ask these questions. Oh thats right Orielly did and Nobroma fumble like Ernest Bynor on the 5.

This is how Barrack Hussein
Obama get his start
in Chicago politics but were founding members of the Weathermen,
the most extreme faction of the radical Students for a Democratic Society.
They were responsible for terrorist bombings of the Pentagon,
the State Department, the U.S. Capitol and at least ten other targets.
Dohrn was on the FBI’s Most Wanted List.
Called “Most Dangerous Woman in America” by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.
Ayers told the New York Times,
“I don’t regret setting bombs…I feel we didn’t do enough.”
This is Change we don’t need.
Vote NO on Obama.
William Ayers Bernadine Dohrn
I agree! Our nation would be jeopardized by the radical changes being advocated by Barack Obama and his
far left friends.

WHO IS MORE QUALIFY TO GET A BETTER JOB? MCCAIN OR OBAMA ?PROVIDED WITH THR RESUMES. SOMEONE SHOULD PLEASE DEFINE QUALIFICATION,POLITICS ASIDE . WHICH AMONG THIS TWO CANDIDATEs HAS THE QUALIFICATION? I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT BOTH EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

A better America
You said it, not me. “All of those other thousands of geniuses that go to Harvard.” Your generalization may not be easy to spot to fellow Democrats.
Did you ever think that all the PC talk that Americans have been conditioned to follow may actually come back to haunt liberals that for years told us that “you can’t say this”, or “you can’t say that.” Now BHO has offended working women, retirees, the computer illiterate, war veterans(disabled no less), and counting…
Irony is a better form of humor.

QUALIFICATION: Politics aside, “qualification” means 1) to be so inartuculate that one must incessantly type blogs in ALL CAPS and 2) To have the words DAS CAPITAL tatooed to your chest and 3) to be a man who never pees standing up. That answer it for you Morgan?

The different between Obama and Palin interview is Palin gives complete sentences. No huh huh ah ah from her interview.

Anybody who believes in Creationism would have to ignore hundreds of years of scientific data
and reject all of Geology, Biology, Astronomy, Mathematics, Physics, Archeology.
In other words you would have to be of very low intelligence. And of short sighted provincial attitude
To ignore all the understanding that humanity has gained as a body of knowledge throughout the ages.
The Only place on planet earth where a large group of people believe in Creationism is the DUMB BELT of Red State Bible Belt of the USA.
Palin believes in Creationism…. OR Does She?
What would be worse? If she believed it? OR
She knew it to be Garbage but used it as a political stepping stone?
Hmmm. If she actually believes it, That is pathetic
She belongs in a Group house not the white house.
AND DANGEROUS!
If she is faking to please the Right wing fundamentalist Cooks… That is EVIL ENCARNATE!

no obama 08,
You didn’t even answer the question as to how George W Bush made it into Yale! I’m sure you knew you opened for yourself the can of worm and now are afraid to admitt the shameful truth!
If you don’t want to admit it, I’ll do it for you: George W Bush got into Yale due to the same reason he got the Presidency: His father’s influence! Not because he’s smart!
Yet, you have the guts to use George W Bush’s admittance into Yale as a reason discredit Harvard scholars and Obama’s achievement as the *NUMBER 1* graduate there!
The last time I checked, Obama came from a poor family… unlike George W Bush who is from a powerful and influential family!
PLEASE… If you think it’s that easy to get into Harvard as a poor student (let alone being the #1 student like Obama), then please tell me which university have you graduated from?

God Particle — I beleive there is a creator and I also believe in evolution. I find no problem in reconciling the two.
If that one is too tough for you to figure out, check out Francis Collins’ book, “The Language of God”. Good luck.

Mcain cannot use his hands to type, or tie his shoes…..from torture….
Obam’a as is sad…..

vicki
Yes, thank goodness those unbiased and impartial MSNBC reporters, Olberman and Matthews, did such one-sided coverage and showed us why their ratings tanked and they were removed from coverage and moved to opinionists. Thank goodness Obama is going onto NBC to make a clown of himself on SNL.
Maybe because that what he is, a stooge.

One word NOBAMA.

A better America
All you are doing is taking the incorrect Obama catch-phrase of “Bush III.” We’ve heard these arguments for months from Obama supporters, but the fact is that the 2 are about as politically different as can be. Are Republicans not allowed to see that something needs to change and we believe that there is a better way than increasing the size of government. Is that allowed of us?

Hawk the Slayer, I appreciate your post on the Palin/Obama interview analysis.
I noticed tonight when they replayed it on 20/20 they deleted the part where he accuses her of hubris. No wonder there is such a media backlash, I assure you it will continue.

You all the just going to have to face the fact Obama is going down by November.
Get over it!!!

I’d like to address Ace’s comment about Democrats being anti disability and defending John McCain’s inability to use email as being caused by his “handicap”. Computers, the internet and e-mail are used every day by hundreds of thousands of “handicapped” people- btw the correct term would be a person with a disability here. My husband is a quadrapalegic who works 8plus hours a day and McCain has much greater use of his body than my husband. The Republican party has done their utmost to take away rights the ADA gave people with disabilities back in 1990 and they consistently cut funding on programs that are life and death to many people with disabilities.
If you want to empower people with disabilities you should not be defending McCain’s lack of computer skills with a sympathy plead that he is handicapped and the very last thing anyone should be doing is voting for McCain/Palin for president.

Liberal: Foreward thinking, Open minded, Tolerant, Free thinking, Moderate (reasonable, sensible),
Converative: Traditional, Conformist, Conventional, Unadventurous, Old fashioned, Traditionalist, Old School.
Now which one really stands for change, and which one really MEANS MORE OF THE SAME.

I guess Obama is Way stupid for not knowing how to use a search engine!
Great work Barry camp!
Guess you did not read those 2 articles back in 2000 that stated “McCain’s severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes.”(boston globe) and “because of his war injuries, he is limited in his ability to wield a keyboard.”(slate).
And you all thought you were being clever.
Looks like some Dems got a little egg on their faces!
Barrys MEAN to war Vets with disabilities!!!
Gotta love the Libs, they keep sabotaging their own guys every time you turn around!

To imply Sen. McCain is too stupid to use a computer is asinine. This is a man who can fly fighter jets, can Obambi match that? The ageist attacks will only serve to galvanize older voters, the most likely group to show up at the polls. BTW, if the choice of running mates are any indication, BO’s intelligence has been vastly overestimated.

Obambi’s getting mad. Watch out world, effete Ivy League lawyer’s about to launch a sissy fit.

Everyday, Obama and his moronic supporters show anew that he shouldn’t be anywhere near Congress must less the Presidency.
From a 2000 Forbes article about McCain’s pioneering web-based campaign is noteworthy:
“In certain ways, McCain was a natural Web candidate. Chairman of the Senate Telecommunications Subcommittee and regarded as the U.S. Senate’s savviest technologist, McCain is an inveterate devotee of email. His nightly ritual is to read his email together with his wife, Cindy. The injuries he incurred as a Vietnam POW make it painful for McCain to type. Instead, he dictates responses that his wife types on a laptop. “She’s a whiz on the keyboard, and I’m so laborious,” McCain admits.”
So Obama and his idiots attack John McCain because of his disability he received as a result of his service to this country! How is this any different that the Daily Kos attacking John for the way he smiles?
Are these people insane? This is a the type of judgement we want leading our country?

Sorry to inform the poster there are a great many ways a person with disablilities can use a computer. don’t be silly there are folks with NO ARMS who are able to use a computer.
McCains inablilty in in his head his mind can’t grasp the simplist concepts.
Yes McCain was one of the children left behind and some think he should run the country. Ridiculous.

What a disgusting ad!!! This Forbes link tells the FACTS, not slurs and lies like Obama uses.
““In certain ways, McCain was a natural Web candidate.

McSame voted with Bush 91% of the Time… NO CHANGE THERE!
McSame employs 134 Lobyests on his campaing…. NO CHANGE THERE!
McSame has the soon to be indicted Carl Rove working for him …. NO CHANGE THERE!

I think anyone who resorts too name calling actually has nothing important too say. If we love our country and want whats best for it then lets be honest. McCain and his people have consistently lied over and over again too distract from the issues. They are trying too make Obama a angry black man, but he wont bite. Even if he looses, I will always respect him for his grace and integrity.

The Democrats lost the last two elections because their smugness and high self regard caused them to underestimate their opposition. Looks like they are doing it again by treating McCain as a senile old geezer and Palin as a simplistic hockey mom. Don’t they realize they are alienating middle America by their condescending tactics? An Ivy League education does not common sense buy.

I worry about this country… A democracy is only as good as its people are informed and educated…
IT’S LIKE THE TITANTIC… These are crucial and dire times in our history and yet we may be putting a Rigid Fundamentalist with no international experience a heart beat away from the presidency.
The woman actually believes in Creationism… Maybe a Group House but not the White House!
Obama-Biden -08.

Face it there are a lot of radical left wing nutjobs in the Democratic party. Many of Hillary’s supporters rightfully argued that BO would fail in the General Election because there wouldn’t be enough liberal extremists to carry him to victory. Never knew watching a sinking ship could be so much fun…

So now to be preident you have to know how to use a PC. Kinda of like being a “Community Organizer” over a mayor.
And what happen to the we all need to get along. First it’s someone who told a person in a wheelchair to stand up. Now telling someone you doesn’t have total use of one hand and limited use of their arms you don’t know how to use a PC.

We can hardly be surprised by the lies of the McCain campaign. We can hardly be surprised that the American people will not notice or care. Our democracy and freedoms are in serious jeopardy, our economy is in the ditch, our young people are dying in useless wars, and we are being lied into more of the same. The Republicans have ample evidence of the basic stupidity of the American people.

WOW Obama attacks McCain for not being able to use a keyboard. I guess McCain should have thought about that before he took the beatings from the Viet-Cong since that is why he can’t use a keyboard. If McCain was blind would Obama criticize him for not embracing the automobile?

marilyn…Quite the reach, but while McCain cannot play basketball I’m sure he can type…please think about what you say before you say it as there are many that would not see the nonsense in your words

Kenny Jones…Its not about PS’s and Wheel chairs…Its about who and what the voters will listen too. You may see it as silly and I would agree, but I also see Palin as a bad choice, but you apparently lack the insight to see much beyond PC’s and lip stick.

RipGOP…While we appear to be on the same side, I.e. Obama’s, just a thought about “earmarks”. If you were a Governor or Senator or House Rep, would it not be your job to get the most from Washington that you could for the sake of your constituents? After all, is that not your “job”. We should not blame our elected officials for “working” the system, we should blame them for not “Changing” it! McCain has had the most YEARS to Change the system, and yet he has not! That makes his stand against earmarks disingenuous! I think Palin is a nice person and perhaps even a good Governor for Alaska, but I see her as ill suited both intellectually and emotionally to play politics on the world stage against the likes of Putin!

SARAH PALIN’S OWN WORDS JUST A MONTH AGO:
“As for that VP talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?”
McCain’s Own Words:
“I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated.”

nh, you are too easy on the Republicans… being nice doesnt work with them… And as far as your view of Sarah Palin being a nice woman…
• In a videotaped speech to students at her church this year she claimed that the war in Iraq is God’s will.
• In the same speech she also claimed that it is God’s will that Alaska build a $30 million gas and oil pipeline.
• As governor, she advocates teaching creationism in public school classrooms.
• A bipartisan committee is investigating Palin who fired public safety commissioner Walt Monegan because he would not dismiss a trooper, Mike Wooten, who went through a messy divorce with her sister before Palin’s election as governor. The evidence is poring out suggesting abuse of power.
• Also refuting overwhelming scientific evidence, Plain states that global warming is not due to human activity.
• She opposes abortion even in the case of rape or incest.
• As mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, she secured almost $27 million in earmarks for her hamlet of about 6,400, assisted by a lobbyist closely allied to now-tarnished Sen. Ted Stevens. Now she says that she is opposed to earmark funding.
• Palin, who has zero experience in foreign policy and only last year received her first U.S. passport , told Alaska Business Monthly that ‘I’ve been so focused on state government, I haven’t really focused much on the war in Iraq.”
• She is under investigation as to whether she abused her power as governor by dismissing the state’s public safety commissioner for refusing to fire her former brother-in-law from the state police.
• She opposes Sex Education in schools and has a 17 year old daughter who and is now pregnant and unwed.
Palin has close ties to the extreme fringe Alaska Independence Party, which has at times sought a vote on whether the state should secede.
• As mayor, she pressured her town librarian to ban books.
• Palin is a NRA member and opposes any bans on assault weapons
(Do you need an assault weapon to kill a moose?)
• Palin flip-flopped on her support for the “Bridge to Nowhere.”
• Bush speechwriter Matthew Scully wrote Palin’s speech… How is this Change?
Whats the Difference between Bush and Palin?…. Lipstick
Clearly she is prepared to continue the Bush legacy of hypocrisy, ignorance of science, cronyism, and promoting the agenda of the extreme religious right. Palin can count herself among the members of the “Flat Earth Society.”

RipGOP…OK..I agree that being “Nice” to Republican “operatives” is not good, but I said the “electorate” which is not the Talk show hosts, and party operatives. As for Palin, I already said she is not “intelligent” enough, which is what I attribute most of your good points to. As for the “allegations” when she is “convicted” of something I will say she too is another Republican “Evil Doer”, but until then, I will see her as only stupid, but “innocent until proven guilty”. Oh and for the record, I see Bush and Chaney as both guilty of treason and war crimes!

RipGOP…Where your views on science are concerned, I agree with you 100 percent. Well this is it for me for now and so in memory of one of the nations best Presidents (and least qualified) it ever had, let me leave you with a quote from his reelection campaign; “Do not vote Republican, for their constant pandering to special interests, will result in a never ending cycle of economic booms, and busts!” … Harry S. Truman.

Palin Is Bush with lipstick
Rick Steiner, a University of Alaska professor, sought the e-mail messages of state scientists who had examined the effect of global warming on polar bears. (Ms. Palin said the scientists had found no ill effects, and she has sued the federal government to block the listing of the bears as endangered.) An administration official told Mr. Steiner that it would cost $468,784 to process his request.
When Mr. Steiner finally obtained the e-mail messages — through a federal records request — he discovered that state scientists had in fact agreed that the bears were in danger, records show.
“Their secrecy is off the charts,” Mr. Steiner said.

OOOO I love this. I smell desperation as Obama calls McCain, who’s been physically broken and tortured to the point of not being able to type well – an out of touch pol (sub-rosa = a grumpy old man).
Obama will tell you what he’ll do but not what he has accomplished.
He says he will bring hope, but won’t give specifics.
He says his policies are better – but has never shown he can deliver any meaningful change except a good speech and a flair for slogans.
These weeks will be a good measure of how he can handle pressure… so far his performance has not been good – reactive, tentative, stiff, condescending, vulnerable and defensive.
He says he is a good poker player – but this a bad “tell”!

I would rather have the president attending to the nation’s business than sitting on the computer e-mailing. Why does Obama think that should be an issue? Is it one of the requirements to be a president?
Michelle was not invited to the 9/11 event, they were afraid she would open her mouth, she is better at dancing with liberals.
The Republican party NOT DEMOCRATIC PARTY was founded in 1854 on an anti-slavery platform and have been against slavery ever since.

Berry, you think McCain cares about disabled people and veterans?
McCAIN REPEATEDLY VOTED AGAINST VETERANS’ HEALTH BENEFITS
******* McCain Opposes the 21st Century GI Bill Because It Is Too Generous. McCain did not vote on the GI Bill that will provide better educational opportunities to veterans of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, paying full tuition at in-state schools and living expenses for those who have served at least three years since the 9/11 attacks. McCain said he opposes the bill because he thinks the generous benefits would “encourage more people to leave the military.” (S.Amdt. 4803 to H.R. 2642, Vote 137, 5/22/08; Chattanooga Times Free Press, 6/2/08; Boston Globe, 5/23/08; ABCNews.com, 5/26/08)
******* McCain Voted Against Increased Funding for Veterans’ Health Care. Although McCain told voters at a campaign rally that improving veterans’ health care was his top domestic priority, he voted against increasing funding for veterans’ health care in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. (Greenville News, 12/12/2007; S.Amdt. 2745 to S.C.R. 95, Vote 40, 3/10/04; Senate S.C.R. 18, Vote 55, 3/16/05; S.Amdt. 3007 to S.C.R. 83, Vote 41, 3/14/06; H.R. 1591, Vote 126, 3/29/07)
******* Opposed an Assured Funding Stream for Veterans’ Health Care. McCain opposed providing an assured funding stream for veterans’ health care, taking into account annual changes in veterans’ population and inflation. (S.Amdt. 3141 to S.C.R. 83, Vote 63, 3/16/06)
******* McCain Voted Against Adding More Than $400 Million for Veterans’ Care. McCain was one of 13 Republicans to vote against providing an additional $430 million to the Department of Veterans Affairs for outpatient care and treatment for veterans. (S.Amdt. 3642 to H.R. 4939, Vote 98, 4/26/06)
******* Voted Against Establishing a $1 Billion Trust Fund for Military Health Facilities. McCain voted against establishing a $1 billion trust fund to improve military health facilities by refusing to repeal tax cuts for those making more than $1 million a year. (S.Amdt. 2735 to S.Amdt. 2707 to H.R. 4297, Vote 7, 2/2/06)

For all you brains out there it does not matter who controls the senate and the house. what matters is who has the votes. Both sides are great at stalling and getting nothing done energy for example the dumb dumb democrats want no drilling that want new fuels that are not here yet. they want cars that get 100 miles a gallon not here yet so they stall and the taxpayer pays for it.

In response to nh Pragmatist
Wow you people need to get a clue. I am so tired of you getting away with saying someone lied about WMD.YEY the UN, CLINTON,FRANCE,RUSSIA,CHINA.ENGLAND, and 45 other world leaders for 10 years before Bush became president. So of course he believed there were there everyone had been saying it for 10 years. You morons that want to change history can’t or do not want to remember what it was like after 9/11. 92% of the American people wanted to attack Iraq hell most wanted to wipe out Iran and Saudi Arabia too. So get off your silly stupid childish high horse. Because if he did not attack Iraq and there were weapons and something would have happened to America you would all be crying he did not do his job. You people that forgot 9/11 make me sick. Because it is people like you that if you get your way will guarantee it will happen again.

Palin’s “pit bull with lipstick” line surely will go down in history — if not the Feminism Hall of Shame — as one of the dumbest things a trailblazing smart woman ever said in public on this side of Stepford.
Since her debut in Minnesota, post-convention sales have gone up on T-shirts with slogans such as “My Hockey Mom Can Beat Up Your Soccer Mom.”
Given this sentiment and how the McSame Republicans seem to like watching women go at it, the menfolk in charge of the next convention might want to consider installing a rubber mat and introducing Jell-O wrestling at their next national frat party.
That’s sure to delight the flat-earth delegates who believe foreign policy experience is relative to one’s proximity to Vladimir Putin. But for the moment, let’s just let those sleeping dogs lie, shall we? No sense poking them more than we have to before November.

Obama spoke the truth the old man is out of touch and out of his mind for picking Palin as his VP. I used to support Clinton and would have gladly given McCain my attention but when he picked that sad stand in for Hilary that was when I decided to go with Obama. At least with Obama you don’t feel like he’ll say anything just to get the women vote!

Barack Obama is a true leader, inspiring the public by pointing them toward a future where America will regain its moral compass, engage its allies, help the helpless and share the wealth. He is a good man. All I see on the other side is fear, the past, and the way they disgraced America by killing 100,000 Iraqis and 4,300 American Soldiers. Nothing will ever erase the fact that the Republicans are guilty of great ineptitude and downright murder. I will NEVER again believe what they say, and they’re not going to gloss over their lies and stupidity by putting a dress on it. They need to apologize to America for all the horrors they have brought upon our great nation, and for how they have disgraced it.

If Obama had any honor he would pull the ad that belittles McCain over his ability to send email…
“Chairman of the Senate Telecommunications Subcommittee and regarded as the U.S. Senate’s savviest technologist, McCain is an inveterate devotee of email. His nightly ritual is to read his email together with his wife, Cindy. The injuries he incurred as a Vietnam POW make it painful for McCain to type. Instead, he dictates responses that his wife types on a laptop. “She’s a whiz on the keyboard, and I’m so laborious,” McCain admits.”

Obama the liar! I’m so surprised! 20 years in a bigoted church yet breaks from it six month ago….
Last week he wasn’t going to take our guns…he loves them now. Yet he’s never voted pro second amendment…ever!!!
“Chairman of the Senate Telecommunications Subcommittee and regarded as the U.S. Senate’s savviest technologist, McCain is an inveterate devotee of email. His nightly ritual is to read his email together with his wife, Cindy. The injuries he incurred as a Vietnam POW make it painful for McCain to type. Instead, he dictates responses that his wife types on a laptop. “She’s a whiz on the keyboard, and I’m so laborious,” McCain admits.”

Obama campaign is like Al Franken’s bit ” it all about me” ::: Think of me OBAMA . send me, OBAMA money.

Drill here drill now!
Lot’s of union job’s with drilling, refining and transportation. Union jobs that will let a family have a house and some cars and kids and a life.
What does Obama have? Retraining? I don’t want to sit behind a desk I want to work. I like to work. Drilling jobs can not be done by some kid in Bangladesh can they. I want a real job and McCain is my only hope to get real jobs back in America.

Why does Obama use personal attacks?
First lipstick on a pig and now he is making fun of a disabled vet and POW.
Obama: I’ll ‘respond with the truth’
I’ll point at the cripple and laugh at him. Yea, um um uh, cause he can’t use a computer keyboard and has to have his wife type for him. HAHAha…
Ya’know, um uh uh, the dude can’t even tie his own shoes or raise his arms high enough to comb his own hair. McCain is so OLD! HAHahaha…

It would be great if Mac explained the nature of his disabilities to Obama during the debate, in front of millions and face to face with Obama. Can’t wait to see Obama’s embarassment over his own stupidity.

This is wonderful Obama who’s whole life is a fad is calling McCain outdated. When the leftists get tired of him they will toss him like beanie babies in the trash.

“McCain’s severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes.”(boston globe) and “because of his war injuries, he is limited in his ability to wield a keyboard.”— shows how out of touch he is… if this was actually true, he’d know that voice recognition has come a remarkable distance in useability, touchscreens and many other technologies avaiable – just ask Richard Hawkings (I think he’s just a bit more physically challenged). However, as McCain seems to be able to point, move his hands and fingers, wave all day long and use a knife and fork, I think the excuse is just an excuse and justification for being so behind.

Young man like Barack needs to learn a lesson of respect. Cocky, arrogant, yet empty in action. Elect a leader who is a man or woman of record and action.
Former Hillary supporter & Asian-American.

It’s nice to know that Obama & Co. plan to respond with speed and ferocity…rather than just doing it. Talk is cheap.

Let’s see Obama’s “new” politics:
Speechmaker Obama talks about an era of bipartisanship, He speaks powerfully about the destructive politics of red and blue states.
Politician Obama has toed his party’s line more reliably than almost any other Democrat in US politics. He has a near-perfect record of voting with his side. He has the most solidly left-wing voting history in the Senate. His one act of bipartisanship, a transparency bill co-sponsored with a Republican senator, was backed by everybody on both sides of the aisle. He has never challenged his party’s line on any issue of substance.
Speechmaker Obama talks a lot about finding ways to move beyond the bloody battlegrounds of the “culture wars” in America; the urgent need to establish consensus on the emotive issue of abortion.
Politician Obama’s support for abortion rights is the most extreme of any Democratic senator. In the Illinois legislature he refused to join Democrats and Republicans in supporting a Bill that would require doctors to provide medical care for babies who survived abortions. No one in the Senate – not the arch feminist Hillary Clinton nor the superliberal Edward Kennedy – opposed this same humane measure.

McCain’s ads were insulting and humiliating to Paris, and made statements that were not accurate. But republicans called it funny and said Obama supporters lack a sense of humor.
Well, ha ha ha, McCain’s in Washington too long and out of touch, funny funny joke joke wink wink.
Republicans cry foul.
Now who lacks a sense of humor?

McCain doesn’t use a computer because of his injuries as a POW, making typing and bending of his arms painful. Talk about mud-slinging of the lowest order, making fun of a disability…

Oh, by the way jake. I love the “Barack Isotoner Obama”. Brillant.

Glove Free and IN THE WHITE HOUSE NOW>
Call him MR. PRESIDENT!
