Biden Blasts ‘Deafening’ Republican Silence on Key Issues

Biden is the effing man! He and Obama have really taken the high road. Their opponents represent desperation.

Way to go Joe! Keep it up. The republicans definitely DON’T GET IT!!! They are not for the middle class, hard-working to make ends meet Americans! They are for the wealthy first, foremost and last!! The price of Cindy McCain’s outfit for one night could have bought 3-4 houses for the less fortunate! I’m not against anyone being rich, but it just shows how out of touch republicans are with the working class and their struggles. Vote Democratic because eight years of republican rule are definitely ENOUGH!!

You DemWits are really having to grasp for straws here if you are concerned more about Cindy McCain’s dress than about the issues!
I’m LMAO at the NoBama supporters! Face it, Obama Bin Lyin is losing it and losing it FAST! I Love it!
McCai/Palin 08!
“Country First!”

McCain/Palin 08!

MCBUSH is going to stop the corruption in Washington, since he is the oldest one running and the longest in the senate is he going to uncorrupt himself?

Just Rant. No Economy related talk.

Good effective speechmaking. The Democrats don’t want to talk about the middle class because they don’t want to explain how middle class wages have gone NOWHERE while expenses have gone up.
The Democrats don’t want to talk about how the dollar has toppled under their policies.
The Democrats don’t want to talk about how having a house, and giving your kids a chance to go to a university, and having savings for retirement is becoming increasingly difficult under their policies.
And the Democrats don’t want to talk about people dying of cancer or going bankrupt or being left with $200,000 in debt, simply because they got sick and didn’t have insurance. Jesus said ‘heal the sick’. Democrats say ‘socialist’.
And the Democrats don’t want to talk about how virtually all the high wage blue collar, virtually all of the industrial, and increasingly even jobs requiring a college degree are going to other countries with lower wages.
Because to the Democrats, the falling fortune of middle class Americans is of no consequence. All that matters is the welfare of those making over $500,000 a year. If you average the wealthy and the middle class together, things don’t look so bad!

A week ago, most Americans had never heard of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Now, following a Vice Presidential acceptance speech viewed live by more than 40 million people, Palin is viewed favorably by 58% of American voters.

Over half of U.S. voters (51%) think reporters are trying to hurt Sarah Palin with their news coverage, and 24% say those stories make them more likely to vote for Republican presidential candidate John McCain in November.

Americans who support McSame and the Mrs. who dare not speak to press apparently do not care about the big issues either.
No wonder the USA is going down.
So much for the Republican love of this country. They ruin it.

Obama and Biden 08!!!!!!!!

I have a feeling that Palin will be indicted before November 4th.

The Obama campaign people just don’t get it that most Americans are self reliable and responsible. They are taught early to be honest, stay in school, stay away from drugs and crimes get a job and have a spouse before having children. Obama and the socialists think we are lazy and ignorant but normal citizens.
McCain/Palin have more experienced and ready to lead. Obama/Biden’s cause is for a socialist country with citizens who are cowards or lazy in they think government owes them a life style.
A new poll just out say Palin is qualified to be VP by 92%. Obama’s poll is 43% for president.

If you make less than $500,000 a year, and you vote Republican, you must not be too smart because the GOP is pulling the wool over your eyes while they make their rich friends and their corporate sponsors richer at your expense. This is why McCain and Palin were alarmingly silent about how they propose to improve the lives of the middle class in the midst of our country’s current economic woes. They have no plan other than to extend the failures of the Bush administration and trumpet the false virtues of Reaganomics. Trickle down economics doesn’t work for the middle class because it doesn’t trickle.

“.”,
Do you know that Bush is still president and the Democratic Congress cannot pass any laws without his signature, unless (1) he does not use the veto, or (2) enough Republicans in the Congress join the Democrats to override his veto? In other words, the Democratic Congress cannot enact policies without the cooperation of Bush, or, in case of an override, a substantial number of Republicans in the Congress?

Jim in OH…so you want to destroy your fellow countrymen because they have a different viewpoint than you?

McCain/Palin 08!
“Country First!”
In case you didn’t know, Adolf Hitler was famous for using the phrase “Land Erster” in his speeches that rallied the mindless rabble of Germany in 1939. The rabble howled “Land Erster” back… in love with their slogan… hitler rose to power… and Germany collapsed in collosal defeat.
McCain/Palin
“Land Erster!”

” Anyone could have listened to the Republican’s speeches and brought up questions on issues.”
that’s because they can’t or won’t address any issues. They want to keep this about personality, ooooooh she’s a regular “hockey” mom, last I heard being a beauty queen, a TV personality and Governor is ANYTHING but regular. My McCain POW, POW, POW, he sounds like Guillani but POW instead of 911…….

“keep spewing your hatred and lies, your fabrications and denounciations”
sums up my opinion about neo-cons to a tee. Smear and fear, the republican way.

The democrats look at this as redemption from being racist, and Obama is their ticket out of white guilt, a messiah of sorts for them. They are selling out their country, their race, and even their childrens future so they can pat themselves on the back. The only thing worse than a black is a white acting black.

Bruce Riddle, CPA:
I worked on his
1988 Presidential campaign financial disclosure engagement.
I busted it for him and got everything right. He stiffed me
for over $15,000 worth of work. He refused to pay once he
dropped out of the race. I did similar Capitol Hill
campaign financial disclosure work for Bob Dole, Pat
Buchanan, and a Democratic candidate for Ambassador to New
Zealand. All of those folks paid even though they lost the
election or did not get the appointment. That type of work
is very demanding and very tedious because your efforts are
scrutinized by Congress. Biden did not care.

And you want THIS GUY a heartbeat away from the Presidency!

Not at all, Bonnie….we are ALL Americans, but the trashing of McCain/Palin by the Democrats is merciless, along with the MSM. I know it’s hard to realize that the “golden” boy, Obama, is falling in the polls, but you have to get over it and go with the winning team…McCain/Palin. There are NO second class citizens in America…..I think President McCain made that perfectly clear in his speech last night!

One interesting thing missing from the Republican Convention was that no one mentioned that John McCain broke his arms and leg by failing to stay tucked in his ejection seat. The pilot that crashed three other planes let his arms and legs flail out; that’s why he can’t lift his arms. Not torture. His own mistake. None of the other pilots shot down – who knew McCain in the Hanoi Hilton – had the same injuries. Lame-brain McCain.

David from Texas…you do understand that Obama is just as white as he is black? You are a very sad and disturbed person.

Bonnie, How the HELL do you think I’m racist…you’re pathetic!

Why hasn’t Biden spoke out with why he was meeting and sending 100,000 to Saeed Sheikh, through Mahmoud Ahmed, that was to go into the bank account of Mohammed Atta, one of the hijackers on 911??? The American people and the victims familes would like to know what you know Joe… Care to speak up cause we can’t hear you!

The is no middle class in the Republic of America.
What I did hear McCain say is that he was going to fight the unions to help Americans.
What scant few Americans are those he would be helping by doing that? Oh, that’s right, Corporate Americans – those that no longer employ but a few American workers and provide so few jobs today that it is absurd to even call them American corporations at this point.
You know the corporations McCain wants to help;
- The toy companies that sell our children toxic toys from China
- The pet food companies that kill our pets with poisonous foods from China
- The Pharmaceutical/Drug makers that kill our loved ones with tainted drugs from China
- The financial institutions and banks from China that own most of America’s newly found debt, thanks to Bush over the last 8 years.
Those are the corporations McCain wants to help.
Let’s face it, China practically owns America because a few politically and morally corrupt politicians sold us to them under the table. We were all looking at some stupid war in Iraq/Afghanistan and we were sold out to the Chinese in the mean time.
Follow the money, follow the money. Look at almost anything you own.
Do you really believe it cost you less? Do you honestly think the Chinese garbage you call your possessions, clothing, stereo, TV, medicines, etc are well made and worth the fortune you spend on them?
[N]IKE sneakers cost $0.21 each pair to MAKE AND SHIP into the US from CHINA! How much do you pay for them? Is it cheaper than they were way back when they were made in Seattle? NO! In fact, they cost MORE now! Not to mention that the quality SUCKS!
Ironically, these Republicans voters have been duped by the Republican political machine and the few that run it (Corporate America) and want to vote for more of this because they don’t even know we’ve been sold out.
It didn’t use to be this way. The GOP used to stand for all the greatest virtues of Americans. Sadly, the people aspiring and entering office were easily lured into creating the situation we are now in and yielding and enriching themselves thanks to Corporate America and lobbyists.
We hemorrhage jobs and manufacturing at such a rate there won’t even be an Economy in 20 years.
Where are we all going to work? Banks and fast food restaurants? Who will be our customers? Chinese and middle eastern businessmen?
OH, that’s right – we’ll all start up our own small businesses. Sure, that’ll work – NOT.
The Republican voters have been lured into thinking the Democrats want to impose socialism upon Americans.
The Republicans have already sold us, lock – stock & barrel to the Communists!!!

If McCain truly believed in “one” America he would have not allowed all the speakers on Wednesday night to mercilously and falsely (go to factcheck.org) attack Obama and the Democrats. They all could have given speeches that helped bring trhe country together. Instead they mocked and divided people. I am an Independent and I vote issues. I don’t see the Republicans coming up with any plans or ideas that are any better than what Bush has offered. And the war in Iraq needs to be over as soon as possible so we don’t lose more innocent lives.

drdan…
im sorry, but you are an ass. for your own political “satisfaction”, apparently you think you need to compare military injuries like its some sort of game. i dont care if he broke both his arms in a fight in the mess hall, bottom line is that he FOUGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY. im not going to even get into it because obviously your just another spoiled american who thinks sacrifice means nothing, and you have your mind made up that his sacrifice meant nothing. you are a loser. now go vote for someone who also has no clue on sacrifice.

bonnie…
just because a person believes in “one” america dosent mean its easy…lol there are ALOT of idiots out there to defeat along the way, and the nice guy, sadly, will finish last. plain and simple.

people are still talking about the keating five like its part of this election?! if it were something of great importance, dont you think he should not have bee re elected how many times s ince then?! let it go. its not an issue.

Samantha,
Corporate America contributes to BOTH sides in an election. They’re not stupid.
You’ll readily see that the corporations you mentioned made the same or more contributions to the Republican candidates.
Corporate America buys into politics by donating money. The amount they invest is returned a thousand fold.
They have to warm up to both sides because inevitably one will win and they need the favors their contributions buy.

David….The only thing WORSE than a Black….No you are what’s worse about America. Simple minded baffoon. Make that racist simple minded baffoon. Bonnie…somedays it’s better to stay off the blog. They seem to pour out of the woodwork on the weekends.I agree. Sad.

In Obama’s stump speech during the long campaign leading up to the Iowa Democratic presidential caucus, the Maytag workers of Galesburg, Illinois played a central role. Obama repeatedly told the story of how their jobs had been shipped to Mexico. “It is a ready applause line, for the Illinois presidential hopeful,” Chicago Tribune reporter Bob Secter noted four days before the Super Tuesday Primaries, “one that he has been reciting almost verbatim since he was a candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2004, when appliance giant Maytag was in the process of shutting a refrigerator plant [in Galesburg], putting 1,600 people out of work.” Obama was trying to steal John Edwards’ laborite thunder in Iowa by inveighing against mean-spirited corporations who used trade pacts to replace highly paid union workers with cheaper labor abroad
Despite Obama’s claims of deep concern for Galesburg’s proletarian victims, however, Maytag union members told Secter that Obama had done remarkably little to save the Galesburg workers’ jobs. Those workers belonged to the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, whose president noted that “Obama’s support for Maytag workers was more show than substance.”

I may be a simple minded buffoon to a liberal pissant like you, but I know that McCain will keep America safe from liberal scumbags like you.

Dear Tim,
I only bring up the Keating Five and McCain when someone else digs up old news from the ’80′s on Joe Biden, which happens regularly. Joe has nothing in his record to compare with McCain’s transgression there!

For the last 60 years we have been told that communist countries like the People’s Republic of China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, the USSR and Vietnam are based on totalitarianism.
Communist parties maintain themselves in power by using secret police, propaganda spread through the state-controlled media, repression of free speach, mass surveillance, and fear. They can be indetified by their limitied economic development, human rights, foreign policy, scientific progress, and environmental disregard.
Doesn’t that all sound like the republicans?

samantha, that makes no sense.

wow… lol. im sorry “tim”. maybe you havent been in a blog before, but usually when someone puts in the same exact name as another person that is posting, its to act like te other person. im sorry i apparently offended you so badly.. lol and how mature of you to turn that into a partisan issue… and you assumed i was a republican too??!! too funny.. but at least you let me know your state of mind… lol

McSame/Failin ’08 – The Dimwit Ticket
I marvel at the Republican Morons on this site. After 8 years of the “duh, uh, um” pResident you still haven’t learned your lesson. I don’t know what planet you people live on but it is not planet earth. History will prove that you supported the biggest Moron ever to occupy the Oval Office and yet you are now ready to send an older version of that same idiot to office along with his side kick, Madam Bimbo. Do you really think supporters of Hillary are going to flock to the Moron ticket just because there is a woman on it? We voted for Hillary because she is intelligent and a proven leader. It didn’t take her 6 colleges in 6 years to get her degree. Sarah Failin must have gone to the some college as Dumbya Bush. Did they read My Pet Goat for their Thesis? By the way, loved that way McNut looked last night against that Green screen. What did someone say? – he looked like cottage cheese on lime jello!
Obama/Biden ’08

TER…
bottom line is this: just because we had a “bad” president, dosent mean you give up on your conservative values. make sense?

“any politician that has been around as long as mccain or biden HAVE some sort of “scandal”….Tim
So you admit that the Keating Scandal was a McCain scandal and he WAS involved?

Do the Republicans really think the Dems are afraid lil Miss Sarah Paleskin — I mean, Palin? Yeah, she’ll get the trailer trash vote — if those people actually vote…

As black people we will never truly be on top until we elect a black president.We don’t really care if he is a liar and hangs out with Tony Rezko. He is a brutha and that’s all that matters. Of course some will be racist and not vote for him. I just bought a tee shirt with Obama’s face airbrushed on it and I think whoa we blacks have come really far since MLK.

“maybe you havent been in a blog before” and “you assumed i was a republican too?”
well, your post brand you as a neo-con idiot and your arrogance over MY name sets a new standard for egoism, you neo-con troll.

I think they’ve got the right idea; honestly, who gives a hoot about Palin – after her speech the other night, which was very well-delivered, it seems pretty clear that what you see is what you get from her. The problem is she’s got about as much depth as a piece of loose-leaf paper. Palin’s divisiveness seems to prove Obama’s point about the current state of affairs in Washington.
Anyway, the underlying problem remains Bush’s policies. It seems that McCain suddenly wants to run less on his experience and more as an agent of change. That’s a losing proposition in my humble opinion – it’s hard to run as outsider when you’ve been in Washington forever and you’re part of the incumbent party.

Samantha, the important concepts of pulling your own weight and not leeching off of society are alien concepts to Blacks. They realize that on their own, they will never have very much so they happily take all the welfare and other hand outs they can get even if this makes them parasites. They don’t have any qualms about stealing millions of jobs and promotions thanks to racial quotas, the last government-approved racial discrimination program.

“The problem is she’s got about as much depth as a piece of loose-leaf paper.”

By the way, it’s good to see Sluggo around again. Makes the evening more entertaining.

Jobs ..Jobs…what has Joe Biden done in his 100 years of Congress to help the competitiveness of America in the global economy? Joe Biden is a little man from a little state with a large capacity to talk. Nothing more.

Joe Biden…why doesn t the government provide jobs, why doesn t the government provide health care, why doesn t the government guarantee my success and change my childrens diapers…etc etc etc ..guess what dems you lose again

typo: who has instead of “whose” above.

John: without question, McCain is eager to pick a fight. Definitely not the “speak softly and carry a big stick” sort…

I watched both conventions and witnessed history.
Barack Hussein Obama is smart and has a great personality but he is not believable and cannot be trusted. Obama “HOPES” we won’t notice how many times he has “CHANGED” his mind. He has based his entire campaign on lies. He has too many ties to terrorists and anti-Americans (Ayers, Rezko, Said, Farrakhan, Pfleger, Wright ['God Damn America'], etc.). If you are the leader of a country — or a business for that matter, there are no “present” votes — That’s how Obama voted most of the time. He worked 142 days in the Senate and spent the rest of the time running for president. Obama will bankrupt America — especially with his capital gains taxes. His death tax will hurt our children and grandchildren. No one is experienced on ALL issues; however, he is not experienced enough ON ANY ISSUE to run this country. Obama is unqualified and unfit to become Commander-In-Chief. In fact, his association with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, among others, would prevent him from getting the security clearance needed to enter the military as a private. HE HAS NEVER SERVED OUR COUNTRY!
Joe Biden does have political experience. If Obama wins, he will be the puppet and Biden the puppeteer (vie Bush/Cheney). The only difference is that Biden doesn’t know when to shut his mouth or turn on his filter! In the debates, Biden himself said Obama was not prepared to be President and that it wasn’t a position to “test drive”. Biden was right — we do not need a president in training! Obama knew how his own colleagues felt about his inexperience.
The Honorable John McCain has worked for our country for all of his adult life. He brings years of experience. He has proven he loves our country enough to die for us! John McCain is a Hero and true American Patriot. He has shown his integrity. He is genuine — A man that I trust. As for his choice of Sarah Palin, she has a lot of good points herself. As one Proud American, he gets my vote!
Sarah Palin is smart, accomplished, believable and likable. She brings a breath of fresh air and offers change we can believe in. She has more executive and leadership experience than any candidate. She is governor of our largest state. She crossed party lines to do what was right for Alaska and will do the same for the United States of America! PALIN IS A STRONG COMBINATION OF GRACE AND STRENGTH. I have no qualms about stating that SOME DAY, Sarah Palin will most assuredly be the first woman President of the United States!
COUNTRY FIRST! THE HONORABLE JOHN McCAIN IN 2008 !

Go Carolina girl.

Just look at whose under the unbrella of Obama: Ayers, Rezko, Pastors Jeremiah and Pfleger. Now qadd the fact that Obama has a predetermined policy to cut crucial missle defense of our military. Oh and you know haow the left likes to criticize our standing with our allies….well I guarantee that Great Britain, France, Italy and all major NATO powers are praying that Obama doesn t win the election. They are trembling because they know US leadership will decline which puts more pressure on them. On the otherside Russia, Iran, and yes Alqeada are hoping for an Obama victory.

John, if you are really from the UK you better get down on your hands and knees and thank the US people for their strong leaders like Reagen for your freedom. And with your comments I can see that you are not worhty of your past great leader Winston Churchill.

It’s very clear that Obama and his camp and followers are beginning to get scared. The RNC was a success, immersed in the issue of true “change”, and the base was extremely charged.
Obama got an 8 pt bounce in the polls after his convention, I feel McCain will get in the double digits with his bounce. It’s true, that McCain is not a great orator, but his speech last night was one of passion and from the heart. With a speech like that, you don’t have to have the polished rhetoric of Obama, because America could feel the passion, the insensity, the servitude of John McCain.
McCain/Palin 08!
“Country First!”

In a speech to a Selma, Alabama crowd meant to pump up his civil-rights movement authenticity and his Kennedy Camelot image, Barack Obama claimed that the Kennedy administration paid for his Kenyan father to travel to America on a student scholarship and therefore was responsible for his “very existence”. However, the first march on Selma took place on March 7, 1965. Obama would have been about three and half years old at that time. For some reason the media never did the math on this.

Samantha,
The media has turned a “deaf” ear to a lot of Obama’s inconsistencies.

NBC has to be the worst of the Media…they are so pro Obama that they are actually turning votes away from him to McCain. I don’t think I have EVER seen such bias’. Chris Matthews…well…idiot comes to mind!
McCain/Palin 08!
“Country First!”

Immersed in the mantra of “change”, the McCain/Palin campaign incorporates the economy, foreign affairs, national security, education, and mainly, the heart and passion of the American people.

Debra,
Im one that believes just because one who claims to be an intellect or scholar of the law says something, It does not mean whatever comes out of their mouth is right. Scholars many times take common sense reasoning and deny it. If a judge even gets to decide when life begins we might as well bring back the holocaust. Roe vs Wade marked a point in history when the court disregarded moral conscience in its application of the law. It was arbitrary legislation from the bench.

Senator Obama kept saying I will, I will, I will, but never how he is going to bring back all those jobs back from China, or how he would force insurance to collect only $25 a month for someone whose medical cost is $50,000 a year. Or how he will bring gas prices down by using wind power that is much higher in cost. Obama makes promise after promise and not one of this promises has a rational or workable solutions. He seems to believe handing out more money for food stamps, health care for unmarried moms with babies. To me, Obama represents those who are irresponsible in their life choices and mades mistakes, going to jail, getting pg, doing drugs, dropping out of school.
Our country was established by responsible people, not socialists.
Obama did not say anything I had not heard in the last 10 months. He runs his mouth and his oppoenent runs the largest state.
Obama will raise my retirement income of dividends and capital gains.
The Palen family is certain more middle America than Obama’s family. The Obamas in a 3 illion mansion partially paid for by a criminal. I want CHANGE, MCCAIN BRAND.

Joe Biden,
Sarah Palin is going to be able to say with the facts to back it up that she fought incumbent corruption, that she has a history of energy development and that she hasn t been in governement for 35 years like the bureaucrat you are.
You are nothing more than a liberal democrat who has resided in a do nothing Congress while gas prices have risen to 4.00 a gallon. Your party has managed to do its at least half of the mess without you pointing out its failures.
im tired of your party’s gaff and criticism of Bush. At least we haven t been attacked since 9-11 and the surge worked which your side is strangely silent on. Why? Huh? Why?
McCain showed character by criticising his party and I might add alot more integrity than Obama not voting 130 times.
You are a career politician who lives on tax dollars. And how the heck did AIDS education become part of this debate?
Gas 4.00 a gallon while Harry Reid made an indifferent snide remark about it. Your whole platform is to pump as much anti-capitalist venom into the public mindset, so the people will vote Socialst.
Little man big mouth from little state. You should hear what real ordinary Americans are saying about this election. We know what the issues are we don t need wanna be elitists to tell us.

if she goes after biden like that, she is going to get the Bentsen-style smackdown. if she lists the PTA as experience again, i’m gonna have a heart attack. she should just stay to script and not be too cute; biden is a good debater and he is going to draw her into an argument that exposes her weaknesses. again, stick to the script and don’t go off the deep end.

Samantha, I think the only thing that is going to happen by Nov $th, is your sudden realization that Obama Biden are going to lose. Because of the comments of followers like you.
One difference between our two sides is that we respect our candidates we don t worship them. We are not obsessed with gender and racial politics which confuse issues instead of bringing clarity to them. Sarah Palin has character. When her good moral decisions in her personal and professional life bring recognition to her through transparency, your side tends to become jealous and digs for irrelevency. i don t think Obama is part of this, but I believe he is going to lose because of the folowers under his umbrella who engage in it.

“my side” is as a conservative – we tend to use our brains. we don’t flail our arms wildly trying to hit anything in sight, friend or foe.

Bush is a moron. Not lying, and honestly that’s a complement next to what I really think of him.

Republicans say Obama lacks experience to be President!
McCain days as President: 0
Obama days as President: 0
Bush as President: 7.8 yrs. of over taxing the middle class, padding rich Texas pockets with inflated oil and gas profits, and spending $350 million dollars a day in Iraq on a war that he never should have started.
Republicans say Obama lacks judgement to be President!
McCain voted for Iraq war! He thinks our economy is just slow.
Obama voted against going into Iraq! He sees the economy as broken.He sees the 1/2 a million more people who have lost their jobs, just this year, and wants to change the Republican business as usual policies.
Republicans say Obama will raise your taxes and McCain will cut them:
The “your taxes” they are referring to are incomes taxes for people making over $2.8 million dollars a year whose taxes are the lowest percentage they have been since 1930′s.
Obama wants the rich to pay their fair share and give you a tax cut and raise the minimum wage. McCain has voted against the wage increase 17 times.
Unless you are rich or heavily invested in oil, you don’t want McCain and more Bush policies.
McCain voted against solar and wind power tax incentives to keep us dependent on the same foreign oil that funds terrorists around the globe. Bush, his family, his friends, and his state have made a fortune since the Iraq war interrupted oil supplies and of course is not seeking a solution. Now McCain is running with Gov. Palin from another state relying on oil profits. Do you think for one second they will work to find alternitive energy sources…No!!!
Whether you are Pro-Life or Pro-Choice, you deserve to be able to live in America, make a living, afford groceries and raise your family as you see fit.
I am proud of how we the people have impowered women over the last 30 years. This year has been historic for women in politics. For the first time in our lives we know a little girl can grow up to be the President of these United States.
I hope you will stand with me and support Barrack Obama and let’s make a difference. I want my sons to grow up in an America that they can be as proud of as I am. An America they can work and raise families in peace.
Anthony R. Hinton

…and Biden will go down as a textbook example of BUYER’S REMORSE …
… and I quite certain that Bill Clinton will writing that chapter of that book !!!

The GOP is fired UP and ready to go !
FACT : More people actually watched RNC than DNC.
McCain and Palin each garnered more viewership than Obama….no one even make any mentioned of Biden. So is Biden still on the ticket ?

bonnie said:
“so you want to destroy your fellow countrymen because they have a different viewpoint than you?”
No, bonnie, I’m not that shallow. That’s what the LEFT is doing to Governor Palin as we speak. “Open-minded, progressive” liberal feminists, in particular. The hypocrisy is breathtaking.
I want to defeat leftist ideology that is a cancer on our republic, one that out of some idealized notion of “compassion” has grown to a point that it has totally degraded our country’s moral and economic underpinnings and threatens to destroy our childrens’ futures. I and millions like me, who form the backbone of this great country, want that cancer eradicated.
Reformers like McCain, and particularly Palin, are the first step. And the left knows it. Thus the spectacular display of hysteria and vicious personal attacks this week. Could it BE any more obvious?

A report was just released that there were more deaths over the summer in Obama’s Chicago neighborhood than in Iraq. Guess Obama’s community organizing work did not work out to well.Is it possible that B Hussein O is a kind of Chicago combination of Muqtada al-Sadr and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?
Whereas Iran enriches uranium to weapons-grade levels to intimidate the Middle East, BHO devalues Chicago neighborhoods down to weapons grade community agitators to extort from the rest of us?

Carolina Girl,
You said:
“I have no qualms about stating that SOME DAY, Sarah Palin will most assuredly be the first woman President of the United States!”
I agree with you and I believe that’s precisely why Palin, a VP candidate, is being compared to Obama rather than McCain being compared to Obama. This is unprecedented.
Without actually saying it, the left has admitted that the next political revolution is encapsulated in the up-and-coming Governor Palin! She is in every way the TRUE CHANGE people have been yearning for.
Make no mistake. I’ve studied this woman. Palin is the type of leader who will have an amazingly POSITIVE transformational effect on our country, and mainstream Americans sense it and are rallying behind her almost instinctively. It’s amazing to watch.

MCCAIN = WAR PIG
OBAMA = END THE WAR

Palin won’t be subpoenaed in ‘Troopergate’ probe
http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080905/NEWS15/80905105
Hey Obamabots, it unfortunately looks like you need to change the “Troopergate” smear to “it’s a coverup!” You know, the default rant we all expect you to use anytime one of your smears doesn’t pan out. Yes, you ARE that shallow and predictable.

MCCAIN = EXECUTIVE DECISION
OBAMA – “PRESENT”
PALIN = EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE
OBAMA = “NADA”

I am fed all the links I post by my supervisor, who in turn gets his feeds from thousands of other volunteers who search the net for this sort of incendiary content.
I do it because it’s fun to stir up trouble and no one can find me here in the Columbus region of Ohio.
In fact, even my Gay Democratic friends have no idea I do this. My lover thinks I will vote for Obama like him in Nov.

PALIN = FRESH AIR
OBAMA = HOT AIR

“It only took her going to six colleges in six years, and her 2.75 gpa to get that journalism degree. She’s brilliant.”
Bill Gates was a COLLEGE DROPOUT and became one of the most powerful and influential business leaders on the planet.
In fact, he helped drive the revolution that that allowed you both to look like FOOLS in the blogosphere just now.

Ah, hijacking my name. Brilliant. Seems I’m having an impact.

In fact, I am not always me. Other members of my team use the same names to post so it looks like we are always here.
This way we are dominating the board round the clock, even when I am sleeping or at work.
I am going to the vintage car show near here tomorrow with my lover. You wouldn’t know it was me if you saw me!

I’ll see you at the Montgomery Car show here in Ohio tomorrow! Oh, well, you’ll still see “me” here, but I’ll be at the show with my Beau!
Another friend of mine who just bought a blue ’61 T-Bird will also be with us.
Just look for three cute boys, having a gay old time and stop over and say hi!

Jim in OH, can you stop that!
It will show up and look stupid!
CUT IT OUT!

It’s me you idiot. I am on the lap top up stairs. You stupid b!tch! You were lying to me all along about working for Obama!
You are in deep sh!t, mohterfcuker!

Yes, schizophrenics too can use computers…

“if she goes after biden like that, she is going to get the Bentsen-style smackdown”
dream on.
Biden -”I know Hillary Clinton, Hillary is a friend of mine, Gov Palin you are no Hillary Clinton”
Palin -”Joe, isn’t it about time you learned to stop plagarizing?”

You guys are all so polarized, no argument is going to sway your vote one way or another.
I am a true middle of the roader, and I’m still undecided. So convince me.
I like Obama because he offers real change for a country desperately in need of it. I do believe that McCain is mostly more of the same.
I like McCain because he is pro-life — which I want — and Obama is not — although Obama seems to be a man of faith too, this is an issue that is important to me.
On the other hand, if Obama keeps us out of a war that McCain does not, he could save a lot of lives that way.
Most of the other arguments are just partisan finger pointing to me.

Everyone,
You are being duped by an imposter. My name has been hijacked (which is easy to do here). The crazy posts you see above are being written by a moron who is just trying to discredit me because he doesn’t have anything substantive to discuss and is unable to rebutt my points. It’s disgusting, but not unexpected. Not only am I not anti-gay, I’m not even a Republican, and I certainly disagree with McCain on numerous issues as you can see in my posts this past week. I haven’t even contributed to his campaign.
Think about it. If I were an operative for McCain, why the heck would I reveal my plans on a widely read board and discredit myself? Don’t be so gullible. The imposter is simply trying to shut me down, but he’ll fail.
I’ll be back to make my points but under a name.
So from here on out, if anyone sees “Jim in OH” as a poster, you know it’s not me. I’ll post this message in other places as well.

Pffft. Not to worry, imposter. I’m not stupid enough to actually tell you my new name. You can just squirm and try to figure out what it is. Good luck, idiot.
The REAL “Jim in OH”

Biden who? Talk about mister irrelevant.

Hey, I’m contacting ABC News to see what can be done about this name hijacking issue. The psychopath that hijacked my “Jim in OH” name has hijacked others. I’m in information security. He can be traced.
I’m going to urge that they implement a name registration system like the other ABC blog and record IP information. That way, if nuts like this continue to cause problems, their IP provider can be contacted and they can be blocked.
Anyone who knows me here knows that I would never write in such a crass, outrageous way to incite others. I have a very unique writing style that looks nothing like the imposter’s, and that’s true for others here as well. This moron seems to be going back and forth hijacking different people’s names, making them seemingly attack each other. He’s a mental midget. In fact, some of the phraseology he uses is laughably sterotypical and designed to exploit to do nothing more than anger people and pit them against each other. It’s beyond the pale, but that’s where we are.
The real shame in all this is that this is a forum for the discussion of ideas. This is what makes America great in my mind. Attempts to discredit the integrity of other posters who have dissenting opinions for the sheer purpose of agitation is sick.
One thing is clear. Some Obama supporters will stop at nothing to stifle dissenting opinion of their candidate. Nothing. So just know that and question posts that look nothing like the user you’ve interacted with in the past. Everyone has a very unique style, and this idiot’s is nothing like mine. He has the intellectual capacity of rock.
I’ll likely check out for awhile or maybe post on a more secure blog. But know this, agitators. You will NOT stop dissent against your candidate. You are powerless to do it, even as you smear the rest of us.
The REAL “Jim in OH”

Biden is the effing man! He and Obama have really taken the high road. Their opponents represent desperation.
Yes, they are. Every body hate hearing nothing but hate speeches.

Republicans, the party of hate and intolerance.
Americans are too dumb to realize they’re voting for a Bush/Cheney 3rd term when they support McSame.

The Obama camp is not going to like this but the race is definitely TIGHT.
A more Obama-leaning CNN is officially declaring :
“According the latest CNN Poll of Polls, Obama now leads the Arizona senator by three points, 45 percent to 42 percent. Last Thursday’s Poll of Polls showed the Illinois senator up by four points, 47 percent to McCain’s 43 percent.
The latest CNN analysis of several recent surveys DOES NOT include any post Republican National Convention tallies.
“While the race appears to be tightening up a bit, it’s worth keeping in mind that we still haven’t seen any polling conducted after the Republican Convention,”
This is closer than many pundits are making it out to be … never rule out the MAVERICK / REFORMER combination

obamaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
ROAD TO CHANGEEEEE
YES WE CAN

jock59801,
It’s true and I am tired of it! I can prove it. I am just waiting for the right opportunity. I am in internet security!
The REAL “Jim in OH”

Mary heres a solution your boy McCain may make.
Republicans Simplify Tax Codes; Taxpayers to Write Checks Directly to Halliburton.

The idea that many Republicans are comparing Palin to Obama is laughable. Let’s review: a former beauty pageant queen with a degree in communications from the University of Idaho, 1.5 years of experience as governor of a state with fewer people than Dayton, Ohio, and prior experience as Mayor of a village of 6,500 vs. a former community organizer with a law degree from Harvard who has worked as a constitutional law professor, a productive state senator in one of the largest states in the country for 8 years, and a U.S. Senator for 4 years is laughable. And, just for the record, “no experience” Obama has done the following:
Illinois State Senate:
a) Led sweeping, bipartisan ethics reform;
b) Led an effort to expand health care to 150,000 people (that’s 1/5 the size of Alaska);
c) Led an effort to pass the Earned Income Tax Credit;
Senate (and, to those who say Senator Obama has spent all of his time running for President, somehow he has also achieved the following):
a) Passed the most sweeping Congressional ethics reform in history;
b) Led a successful effort to improve the medical care provided to our noble veterans
c) Fought against so-called loyal-vet McCain to EXPAND the GI Bill so that our brave vets have a chance at a better future through education when they return home;
d) Led the fight for legislation to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in the hands of rogue states and actors (somehow more impressive than commanding the Alaska National Guard as governor of Alaska where, at best, she’s authorized to deploy them to dig Anchorage out of a big snow storm)
e) has traveled extensively internationally PRIOR to this campaign, and, at this point, has met with the leaders of most of our major allies in Europe and the Middle East;
f) Spoke out against the Iraq War when it was unpopular to challenge the Bush administration (and when Sarah Palin was still presiding over a village smaller than my high school);
h) Challenged Bush and McCain to focus on real threats to our security in Afghanistan and Al-Queda instead of costly, Bush-created threats in Iraq;
i) Developed a nuanced foreign policy based on engagement as a first principle, and force as a last option. After mocking him for arguing for the importance of engaging Iran to reduce their nuclear threat, the Bush administration is now doing just that!
Not only do Obama’s achievements stand up to those of McSame, who voted with Bush 90% of the time, they dwarf those of Palin.
Let’s review here: Former Mayor of a town of 6500 who has been Governor for 1.5 years being compared to Senator Obama, who has been in state and national office for 12 years. Senator Obama has already influenced and helped to shape domestic and international dialogue on U.S. foreign policy, and his positions have been proven right on Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran. Laughable comparison.
The Republicans are shocking in their bravado, which is why they nominated Dubya twice! People voted for Hillary Clinton because she had REAL experience and credibility, and McCain insults them by picking this neophyte. Her record of independence from the corruption of her party is admirable; her abuse of her authority to punish her ex-brother-in-law was not, and sounds awfully Karl Roveian.
Ladies and Gentleman, Sarah Palin is NO Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama has my vote. He has a better record on women’s issues than this feaux-feminist, “Trophy VP” nominee, who opposes a woman’s right to chose and saddled up with a candidate who voted against equal pay for women and the Family Leave Act. McCain picked her after meeting/SEEING her ONCE over much more experienced women like Kay Bailey Hutchinson in Texas and Elizabeth Dole in North Carolina. Those two must feel like the disabled wife whom McCain left for his current trophy wife (whom he recently offered to enter in a nude beauty contest in exchange for the the votes of some biker dudes). Women of America, this is a slap in the face. I’d rather wait until Claire McCaskill, Kathleen Sebelius, or a number of other MUCH more qualified Democratic women have their chance (and think Obama will pick one of them as his VP for his second term).

Also, Anna, will you please provide me links where I can read up on some of these supposed accomplishments of Obama? I sure haven’t heard of any of that except what Obama himself says in his mind-erasing speaches. I just want to make sure you know the difference between “voted for” and “led”.

If either candidacy team could get past the Dem/Rep b.s., then maybe something would get accomplished. Let’s face it, neither side will accomplish all that they promise, but the Obama/Biden Team is most able. I mean, come on…a “Maverick” who votes the along the majority line the far majority of the time. A governor of a state with less people than Cleveland. They’re both underqualified.

—————————-
Anna can’t say where she got those “facts” because they come from Moveon.org. They are totally unfounded and are as credible as “Dodging Sniper Fire in Bosnia”.
The trouble with being better off today is so many of the unwashed listen to the left wing media bash Bush every day and they believe it.
I am 10 times better off than I was under Slick Willie.
And, I don’t have to “Dodge Sniper Fire in America” because the 2nd Amendment has been restored by Bush.
Palin/McCain 08

It is very telling that every Republican speech has skipped the big topics of the economy tanking, unemployment rising, the housing crisis, record number of bankruptcies, a huge federal deficit owed mainly to the Chinese, etc. and instead the Repubs talk about how the Democrats are unqualified.
Face it citizens who happen to be Republicans, your party isn’t what it used to be. From being the conservative party, your leaders are now the biggest spenders. With the presidency and the majority in Congress for six of the past 8 years they have raised our national debt to record highs with very little to show for it. They have pushed us into a pre-emptive war, going against their previous conservative nature.
We need an intelligent leader like Obama, who has spelled out workable solutions to all the issues, (viewable on his website under ‘issues’) that will not involve raising our national debt, will give tax breaks to 80% of Americans, 10% will see their taxes remain the same and only around 10% will see them go up, only to the same rate they paid under Clinton. But since those ultra-rich must be patriotic, I’m sure they won’t mind helping out their country in peril, especially since the rest of us are having a hard time just paying our bills.
Truly conservative Republicans, help your country end the control of the few greedy corporate leaders who have wrested control of our nation’s direction and vote for Obama. A nation is only as strong as all its’ citizens.

Obummer is more like Rev Wright than Joe Biden.

Thank you Senator Joe Biden for saying exactly what we Democrats were thinking when we were watching the Republican convention. Nothing they said had anything to do with improving the economy or uplifting the middle class –the backbone of America. All they could talk about was John McCain’s military career — which is commendable — and trotting Giuliani out along with a 9/11 video. Frankly, I’ve no idea why even a Republican would want to vote for another 4 years of rising gas prices, a slumping economy, failed foreign policies. Perhaps they are out of touch with reality like their candidates….

Do you idiot Democrats really not see the big picture? Guess what? The DEMOCRATIC controlled Congress is just as much to blame for the bad economy as the President! It’s CONGRESS who approves budgets and CONGRESS who sets fiscal policy. If Bush’s plans were so bad, why didn’t the worthless, spineless Democrats like Pelosi do anything about it? Because they had no plan of their own! News flash: they still don’t! Maybe Obama should stop blowing smoke and actually admit that his fiscal policies suck just as much as President Bush’s!

Hey Brian, you must not be paying attention. The Repubs controlled both Houses of Congress until 2006…for 6 of the last 8 years. When the Dems did take control, Bush vetoed or threatened to veto all the substantive bills that they passed including trying to control the astronomical sums for the war in Iraq. So it hasn’t been a case of a “do nothing Congress” but more a case of an obstructionist, lame duck (and I mean REALLY LAME) president.

You’re right Jake, and which 2 years did the Republicans lose control? The last 2, when the economy started to tank. I’m just saying that it’s calloused for Obama and Biden to spout off about how bad the economy is when those two idiots were sitting on the sideline doing nothing but watch it happen.

You go Joe!
I would like you and the campaign to take it one step further. Please remind us where we have been and more importantly what we have lost in the last 8 years:
1. Record loss of homes in foreclosure!
2. Loss of our civil liberties by “executive orders”.
3. Loss of Habeus Corpus / Miranda rights for thousands.
4. Legitimizing torture, which John McCaine experienced himself, then reversed his stand on it, to gain political ground!!! Talk about selling your soul to the devil…
5.Loss of standing in the world.
6.The reason Russian is resuming agression in the world is because it knows America can no longer effectively fight back. We are a paper tiger.
7. Unemployment
8. Workers rights-what the heck are they?
All the Republicants have to say is Obama, an American story if there is one, a person of color, raised by a single parent, went to college, fighting for the voiceless, is a socialist and an elitist?
I am not one who uses language and even has to disguise it here but if there ever were a ” W-T-F!!” question about misplaced values and morals in this country, please tell me where that responsibility lies?

Hello??
Who is running for President, McCain or Palin? If Americans vote for McCain with the hopes that something will happen to him, so Palin can step up to the plate, well that’s just sad…
I am casting my vote for Obama because I think we need his voice, as eloquent as it is to lead us. Biden is just the icing on the cake that makes me feel that the country will be ok if for some reason and God forbid something happened to Obama… Those considering the alternative, please consider that carefully.

“And, I can’t wait until Palin rips Big Mouth Biden to shreds in a debate. This will be well worth it!” – David from Texas
Ha ha? Seriously give me an effing break. This is not an opinion, it is a fact: Biden is going to tear apart Palin in the debates. She does not stand a snowball’s chance in hell against him. So what, she enjoys being an attack dog in the debates? I mean lets be honest, shes from Alaska, how hard of debates could she possibly have? None of the politicians in Alaska have any foreign policy experience and do very little outside of their own pathetic state. Its no wonder why she ‘enjoys’ debating, they are all a bunch of idiots there in Alaska, she’s just the smartest of the idiots.
Biden is going to destroy her in the VP debates.

“Do you idiot Democrats really not see the big picture? Guess what? The DEMOCRATIC controlled Congress is just as much to blame for the bad economy as the President!

-Jake
anyone who defends George Bush on any of his policies is an idiot in my book. In case you didn’t hear, idiot, The Democrats in congress tried to pass many different bills that would have stimulated the economy if anything, but stupid ol’ Bush had to Veto the bills just for the sake of his own ego and the fact that it was Democrats who wrote the bills.
Do your research before you post, idiot.
