Biden Dubs McCain ‘Bush 44′

Just curious, ABCnews, but why are you focusing inordinate amounts of time to tell us silly things about Palin and her career, but you are not investigating at all the spectacular account on the New York Post today, stating that Obama tried to delay the Iraqi troop withdrawal, for his own political needs, which not only violates the Logan Act, but practically an act of treason? Is this not important to you? Is this not important to the American people? Or are you so in the tank for Obama that you refuse to be journalists and get at the truth?
Just curious.

As surely as Lucy will yank away the football, McCain will pull the plug on American workers.

When will Palin stop talking about being against earmark reform msihe got over 400 million and bridge to no where in her stump. She think we are stupid. Maybe some republicans are , but I am not. Where is the integrity. If they can lie now how will they run the white house ? Palin is a liar!!

the Obama tax provides greater tax relief for more people that the McCain plan. Actually addresses issues of corporate fiscal responsibility, and the deep investment into alternative energy sources will provide for new jobs. Drilling for more oil is not a long term answer. A Better education and innovation is. We need 100,000 new teachers as a start. We need to build more schools and come up with a basic consistant, and comprehensive education program that the states can build on. Neither John McCain nor Sarah Palin were particularly good students, so no wonder they are so against having a well educated, well informed, President that is looking for the best solution to a problem and not a political solution.

Decent American how can a single Senator delay troop removal? I thought that that was up to the President and congress?

McPalin are liars!!!

Biden: “Folks, we’ve seen this movie before. And we know, the sequel is always worse than the original.”
I like that one. But my favorite might be:
“But what really bothers me,” he continued, “is that for every punch that’s thrown at us it’s an attempt to distract you, to distract the American people, from the very important issues that face this country.”

The Liberals are losing it. Most of us who represent ‘normal’ America, which is the majority, are laughing our arses off. Obama looks like he just saw a ghost. The only MAN I know here in Chicago that can speak 2000 words and says nothing is his mentor Jesse Jackson. I am having a blast witnessing the loonyness of how the party of peace and love starts to self destruct. I have never witness such mean, dishonest, bazaar, sexist and racist statments as I am hearing from the Obama camp and reading in the blogs. If this is the change your preaching, I stick with Senator McCain.

Let’s see the shady Golden Child get out of this one.
Barack Obama privately tried to persuade Iraqi political leaders to stall an agreement on scaling back American troops in Iraq while publicly campaigning for a speedy withdrawal, The New York Post reported Monday.
Obama’s request for a delay was a major theme of his talks with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said in an interview with the Post.
Obama said that Congress should be involved in negotiations on the status of American troops, excluding the Bush administration in its “state of weakness and political confusion,” according to the report.
Obama also reportedly tried to persuade the U.S. commanders, including Gen. David Petraeus, to offer a “realistic withdrawal date.” They declined, the Post said.
The New York Post article raises doubts about Obama’s call to withdraw combat troops by 2010, especially if his request for a delayed agreement had been accepted. By the time a new Iraqi government is elected, fully operational, can form a new coalition government and comes up with a draft accord, it will already by May 2010, the Post noted. It could take another six months for the draft to be passed into law.

Hey Don,
So far MCCain has not let them down.

Jen Good for you.. Now you do realize that McCain age 72 has picked a running mate whom it appears does not know what a Senator or Congressman do “All senators do is vote. That’s all they do.” Not only is she weak on foreign policy apparently her understanding of the American government is a bit sketchy as well.

community organizer: you are CORRECT, a senator can NOT delay troop withdrawal, which is why this is a blatant violation of the Logan Act, where a citizen is not allowed to speak on behalf if the American government. It is also a pathetic display of arrogance, not to mention risking lives of American soldiers and Iraqi citizens, all for the sake of Obama’s political aspirations.
The New York Post stands by it’s story, and this was not just an interview with a “spokesman”, but the Iraqi Foreign Minister Zebari himself. He was quoted as saying that about Obama.
Not only is this a felony, but also a complete contradiction to his promise to get troops out as soon as possible.
Trust that the State department is investingating this. If this is proven to be true, I do hope Obama is arrested and led away in handcuffs, he is such a filty criminal and an embarassment to America.
Are you convinced now that Barack Obama is a dangerous liar and fraud, that will do anything and hurt anyone to get elected?

obama never made any changes as a Politician.
He detached himself from Jeremiah Wright, is that
the change he is making? He didn’t make any
changes to the corrupted Cook Co. regime.
Security is the most important thing in this Election.
SECURITY! Who will be the best candidate to
keep America safe?

Where is Biden stealing all these quotes? Must be a comedy site.

decent american. Yes, you are right. Why doesn’t
the ABC NEWS report Obama’s action in trying
to prevent troop withdrawal?

Dont know about McCain = Bush 44 but he’s got the 44 right – when’s Biden next sleepover, wheres my invite???

To Paul | Sep 15, 2008 3:41:35 PM
Obama himself warned that the McCain campaign would make an issue of his race. He never offered a single shred of evidence for it, and at least some of the media remained skeptical of Obama’s claims. Joe Biden now has completely undermined this argument, and stupidly put the issue directly on the table.
Joe Biden was right about one thing, Obama should have chosen Hillary.

P.S. Speaking of the party that is imploding.
Dems are panic stricken with the, “breath of
fresh air” Sarah Palin. They are making a mistake
attacking her, because it is ricocheting and the
credentials of Obama and Joe Biden are on the
line, now. Swing voters, like us, decided to check
out Obama’s history and we didn’t like what
we learned about him, AT ALL. So, be careful,
Average American Families are identifying with
Palin and even Swing Voters like us, have
switched our allegiance to the right, McCain/Palin
party. We believe they have better credentials,
more experience and represent AMERICA BEST.

BTW, Matthew Jaffe.
No one in this campaign has made a crazier
statement, than Biden, when he admitted,
Obama made a mistake choosing him as VP.
WE AGREE! hahah

decent – Actually no, I am more concerned that the possible VP thinks that “All senators do is vote. That’s all they do.” The girl has no understanding of how her own government works. She is on the ticket with a 72 year old man. That is scary.

Talk about Flip Flop – Biden once said he would be proud to be John McCain’s running mate.

Jen – No I do not have a problem with MCCain’s age. His politics yes. He is 72 years old and should have choosen a more capable person than Palin to run with. I voted for Regan twice. Loved then man!

I love the way Palin handled the economy of Alaska
especially when she got rid of the Luxury Jet,
and built a sports Arena, all Alaskans could use
instead of a few politicians.

William: “He is so arrogant that I would lean towards the article being true. We need to know and we need to know now.”
I’m sure anyone not supporting Obama would assume this story is true.
I smell a rat.
Consider this – if it was true, that means that Zebari kept it under wraps from the time of Obama’s visit to now. Why? Because the NY Post didn’t bother to ask him about it before now?
Also, if it was true, that mean Zebari knew this the whole time he was negotiating with Rice and others about the agreement we now have. Did it come up in conversation? You would think it might, don’t you?
If so, the Bush Administration knew about it, and we could only wonder why they haven’t said anything.
Sounds like a dirty trick.
Zebari has favored a long-standing U.S. presence for a while. He wrote some commentary piece for the Washington Post about this a year or so ago. It could be he is trying to influence the election now.
By the way, the NY Post also claims Obama pressed U.S. commanders for a withdrawal timetable. So there we have at least Americans who can confirm or deny that part of the report.

Is Biden going to ask McCain to raise his right arm now? He asked the cripple to walk last week.

Fox – Sarah Palin appears to not understand how her government works. “All senators do is vote. That’s all they do.” That makes her qualified to be VP?

James K Polk had 54/40 or fight for a slogan. McCain’s should be 44 and four more.

Dear Senator McCain:
You dishonor yourself by approving recent media commercials filled with deception, half truths and outright lies. You are NOT a man of Presidential character.

What would we do if DemoraticCongress manipulated our Stock Market? Suppose they
would tax our investments? Suppose they would
increase the well fare payments for unwed mothers
with children sired by multiple males, none of
whom give any support to the family and it all
falls on the taxpayer. Maybe we should vote for
sterlization instead of abortion, which we have
never had a chance to vote on? I have many
great ideas, more than 50% of Americans would
vote for.

foxyladynews…Sarah Palin had the ice rink built in Wasilla while she was mayor. You and I paid for it because she used a former Ted Stevens staffer who became a lobbyist to get $26 million in earmarks for the town. Unfortunately she let them build the rink before they had clear title to the land and it ended up costing the town millions of dollars extra. When she left her position as mayor the town was over $20 million in debt.

career-senator Biden .. you dishonor Blacks by asking them to vote for someone because of their race only … would you ask the same of women or whites?

Cassandra isn’t that what McCain has said with his choiice of Palin as VP?

The Iraq war was the biggest pork barrel spending ever. We will spend $5 trillion on the war in Iraq, according to a Nobel prize winner in economics, before this is all over. That’s about $17,000 for every man, woman, and child in the US. We can’t afford this. Our taxes will have to go up to pay for this mistake that Bush got us into and that McCain supports. Our economy is in dire straits because of overspending by our government. I’m a republican, who is voting for a change. I will be voting for Obama because I believe he will get us out of this war sooner and because I believe he will seek another way, besides war, to bring peace.

GREENSPAN DOESN’T KNOW EVERYTHING, IF HE DID
HE WOULDN’T ALLOW THE STOCK MARKET TO
DROP $500 POINTS LIKE IT DID IN 1999 WHEN
BILL CLINTON WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE!
BIDEN CLAIMS HE IS NOT QUALIFIED TO BE VP,
OMG, WHAT IF OBAMA DIES AND WE ARE LEFT
WITH A VP THAT CLAIMS HE WAS NOT QUALIFIED
AS VP, AND NOW HE IS PRESIDENT!!!
OMG!
OMG

JIM. YOU ARE SO RIGHT. BIDEN IS A BUFFOON!
PALIN IS RIGHT, OBAMA WISHES HE HAD
NAMED HILLARY VP, BECAUSE OBAMA PICKED
THE WRONG VP, UNQUALIFIED, BIDEN AND BIDEN
IS THE ONE WHO TOLD US HE IS NOT QUALIFIED
WHAT A BUFFOON!

“Plus, I echo a remakr above — is ABC going to discuss the report in the NY Post that Obama tried to delay troop withdrawals for his own political gain (not to mention it was against the law, so to speak)?”
They’re too busy bashing Palin to take a breath.

“Please accept that government is rarly the answer to people’s personal problems. ”
But…but…the government is supposed to take care of me like they used to do in Russia.

“Not cronys and high school friends that know nothing of the job or position they hold.”
Yup, no cronyism in Chicago politics.

Fiscal conservatives are bailing on McCain in droves… Now the McCains base is mostly the social conservative fundamentalist extreme right wingers
AMERICAS TALIBAN!!!!!!
Multi Billionaire Warren Buffet Supports Obama!
Greenspan says “America can’t afford McCains economics policies.”

Sarah Palin may not have known what the Bush Doctrine was, but we’re getting a pretty good idea of what the Palin Doctrine is. According to London’s Daily Telegraph, the architects of the Palin Doctrine are a group of people who have been singularly wrong about virtually everything in the last decade — the neocons, who have been briefing Palin for weeks. She’s perfect for the neocons: likeable on the outside, a blank slate on the inside. They first fell in love with her in 2007, during a Weekly Standard-sponsored cruise. So nice to meet you, Governor. And don’t forget, mai tais and preemptive invasions on the Lido Deck at four!

Isn’t Biden the guy who opposed
the troop surge in Iraq and wanted to
divide Iraq up into 3 sections,
Sunni, Shia, and Kurd(making it easier for Iran to take control)?
Isn’t Biden the guy who doesn’t know the
difference between a battalion and
a brigade?
Isn’t Biden the guy who thinks Sarah
Palin was the Lieutenant Governor of
Alaska?
Isn’t Biden a plagerist?
I guess we have to Dub Biden a
one-of-a-kind Doofus!
Get Real! The McCain/Palin Landslide
has begun!

Poor Obama and Biden – for such a “clean” campaign, they seem to have come out in full force with their McCain = Bush slogans.
If that’s all they’ve got, I’m wondering why I would vote for Obama. I don’t like the Bush Administration, but I must admit that Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Howard Dean, Joe Biden, Harry Reid and John Edwards are not exactly a stellar crowd. If McCain = Bush then, under their scenario, Obama must equal Pelosi, Dean, Reid, et al. No thanks – I’ll take my chance with McCain. After all, I do believe he and Palin can represent POSITIVE change, not just a pretty speech with empty promises.

Obama and Biden are both now running against a lame-duck president either directly or indirectly using guilt by association. That strategy is failing badly but it is about the only way Obama can hide from his ineptitude.

Obama is so quick to blame President Bush for the financial woes
when the Congress has authority over financial and budgetary matters.
This shows how out of touch and blaming others for Obama’s failures
and his Democrat led Congress of DNC(Do Nothing Crowd) failures.
Start with Democrat Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco and
Democrat Harry Reid of Nevada that’s where the blame and incompetence
comes from!!?

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?
***************************************
Someone told her that the VP lies every day

Senator Biden is emerging as my #1 pick in this election…BIDEN for PRESIDENT …Opps I mean Vice President.

POLAR BEARS FOR OBAMA!!!
Watch your back Sarah Palin or you might get a real ear mark!!

decentamerican – no wonder you’re confused. You seem to be getting your “NEWS” from the opinion pages of the Post rather than from their news section. You’re such a tool!

can anybody tell me what kind of education palin has? Is she a major in journalism? Say what? And she accepted the republican VP spot? the bar for VP has just been lowered. My take now is anybody can qualify for VP. The rest of the world is having a good laugh at us.

THESE ARE VERIFIED QUOTES FROM GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN OVER THE PAST 20+ YEARS (verified from reliable sources and newspapers): “I don’t believe in interracial relationships, I was born in Idaho and raised to believe that whites and blacks shouldn’t mix or date each other” (1986) “I want creationism as the only theory taught in our schools” (2001) “I don’t know a lot about Iran, I just heard that they are bad people” (2006) “He can say he is a christian but as far as I’m concerned, Obama is a muslim, look at his middle name” (2007) “The bible will at some point, be in every classroom in our great state if I have my way” (2005) “Here in Alaska, we don’t have hardly any black people, I never talk to them, so I was surprised that a black girl beat me in the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant”(1988) “Todd and I talked about Hurricane Katrina as God’s way of cleansing New Orleans of the blacks who have sinned, the Bible predicted it” (2005)

Women have suffered oppression in the world longer than Blacks … a woman President of the U.S.A. would be signal a great change for America and the World … especially for the Middle Eastern countries that still hold women in oppression … but did the DNC care? h*ll NO!! Cassandra Washington
WHAT HISTORY BOOKS ARE YOU READING?

Preditor:
I listened to her interview with Gibson. I felt bad for her because she sounded incoherent and she talked in fragments. Her usage of verbs and preps and adjectives is equivalent to a second grader. The woman is not that smart. AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE SO PROUD OF THE MCCAIN/PALIN TICKET? THEY HAVE JUST LOWERED THEIR STANDARD! DON’T YOU THINK?

The GOP was the FIRST to have TWO black secretaries of State, Powell and Rice, two people who would make wonderful Presidents. It will be a long time before the racist Dem party puts an African American in a high cabinet post. why was the GOP more progressive in diversity than the Dems?
Palin is married to a Native American.
McCain’s adopted child is from Bangladesh.
The GOP embraces diversity.
BTW, it is very well established that ABC unfairly editted Palin’s interview, as the final transcript revealed that they cut out very important comments from her. I guess ABC was afraid of having a woman look intelligent….how dare she! And how dare you for believing all this tripe.

John McCain has repeatedly admitted that Obama is not a muslim yet most Republicans posting messages continue to slander him by calling him a muslim… that is true racism in action.
But then again if your party supports the confederate flag then it is what it is INSTITUTIONALIZED RACISM

No, idiot, I think you’re the one that missed it, Ahahaha!
(It’s a free country and I can laugh anytime I choose. Since Apollo blew it, we don’t have to worry about socialism!!)

Biden is a total idiot, face the facts folks

I would like to know what this clown Biden has done to benefit anyone other than his cronies and kids since he has been in the Senate. He’s totally in the pocket of MBNA and supported the change in the bankruptcy law that benefited no one but the Credit Card companies. He and his cronies have made it easy for card companies to arbitrarily raise rates to stratospheric limits that border on loan sharking levels.
Let’s also talk abotu leadership. Obama did exactly what in Illinois that improved the lives of his constituents? The south side of Chicago has a whopping high school graduation rate of 30%. Black on black crime runs rampant. Check the murder rate this past summer there. He’s has personally benefitted from an association with a slum lord. He speaks of “bipartisanship” and yet has only attached his name to 18% of all legislation submitted by his Republican peers while McCain has signed onto 55% of the Democratic bills. He had the balls of a pygmy with his abysmal record of voting “present” while in the Illinois legislature. This man and his running mate wouldn’t know leadership if it walked up and bit him in the butt. Liberals should take their butts to the vets and get some rabies shots to rid themselves of the rabid diatribe they spout. They’re so eaten up with hate for Bush it’s not even funny. Regardless of who the Republicans set forth, these screaming banshees would still accusing the candiate of being a Bush clone. It’s ridiculous. I wish they had that much venom for a Congress that has about half the favorable rating of the current president. I’d love to see Palin or any other hcokey mom take over. They certainly could do no worse than the clowns we have in there now

“Mack, do you also believe in Creationism…Fess up???”
Are you on a witch hunt? I’ve never heard Barry comment on the matter. You’d better make sure the Messiah isn’t a creationist before you start throwing stones.

Joe Biden is Washington DC! How can he claim to change what he is?

“Joe Biden is Washington DC! How can he claim to change what he is? ”
shhhhhh!

“Joe Biden told a man in a Wheel Chair to stand up..”
Are you sure that wasn’t Barry? He’s the Messiah don’t ya know.

LOL thats a good point….

Even if you hate the idea of Mccain, you have to vote for him. He really is the only choice because of the economy. No true American can put Obama and Biden, neither of which know anything about economics in the White House. We would lose everything, every dollar would be at risk. The country would be crippled and we would be like Russia, when it went bankrupt.

It was great Joe. You told it just like it was and yes McCain would be Bush 44. I am glad that you and Obama are coming out of your corner fighting. I’m glad that you do not have to get down in the same gutter as McCain, because you have truth on your side. McCain has to depend on lies and distortions. He couldn’t even run on his own message he had to steal Obama’s. McCain has nothing orginal it just more of the same

Obama/Biden would be Jimmy Carter II
especially with Iran trying to get nuclear weapons. I do not think Obama has the stomach to stop them if sanctions fail.

Has-Been Biden, is a puppet of MBNA bank. His son is a lobbyist for MBNA bank. The bankruptcy law, that Biden pushed through congress, brought on the mortgage crisis and eventual downfall. What about the huge contributions to Biden, from MBNA. Democrats like you enforce my decisions to vote McCain/Palin. Biden, your a bigger hypocrite, than Osama.

decentamerican(sic) said:
“The GOP embraces diversity.”
Yeah, that’ why there were so many women, young people and people of color at the RNC among all the old, white guys in that small venue.
No Way, No HOW, NO McSAME, NO PALIN!!!
Obama/Biden 08

alan in los gatos,ca—well carter would be a massive improvement over bush and mccain.

Good going Senator Biden. About time. Democrats rolled over with the Swift Boat Karl Rove tactic was unleashed. Democrats rolled over when they ran ads against Max Clellan one of the most decorated veterans to ever serve in Congress and John McCain to this day – TO THIS DAY – has not renounced those tactics. Senator Biden as every American appreciates the service of EVERY military serviceman (including that of John McCain) but John McCain is George W. Bush in a different suit, cut by the neo-con tailors to fit the tone of the day. Time to fight back and take back this country – sorry if that offends some of you, but you must not be down here in the trenches like a lot of us and John and Cindy McCain cannot be your guide here – they have lost touch with the nation.

The basic logistical question is this: If America is suffering so badly under a Republican president, then why put another one in?

Biden – can you say MBNA, $124,000 in your pocket? I guess, you are like Obama. Remeber, Resko, about a half a million in Obama’s pocket.
When will the media report the news and not Obama slanted news?

“If you liked Jimmy Carter your going to love Obama and Biden. What fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”…..I didn’t like Carter, voted for Gerald Ford, and Reagan in the next one. THe problem is that Bush-McCain are not Republicans in the traditional sense of the word. So, while I may not particularly ‘like’ Obama, I’m voting for him. McCain will just take the country the rest of the way down the skids that Bush has amply greased.

“There are only three news sources I listen to anymore; FOX, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. They have the only truth I want to hear.” Ha ha ha. You’re kidding, right? You have to be because you’re over here and I don’t think Hannity, Limbaugh, or FOX are anywhere near this place. I just know you’re kidding, it’s a joke.

“There are only three news sources I listen to anymore; FOX, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. They have the only truth I want to hear.” Ha ha ha. You’re kidding, right? You have to be because you’re over here and I don’t think Hannity, Limbaugh, or FOX are anywhere near this place. I just know you’re kidding, it’s a joke.

I wish to God we could have Bush again, but we can’t, but God forbid that we should get someone like Biden. He is ao awful, mean, spiteful, just hope he gets what he deserves.

I guess Obama/Biden is Dulakis/Bentsen part II.

Discussions like this will get very interesting in two weeks when McCain’s poll numbers collapse and the electoral vote projections expand for Obama. Not that those two factors will decide the race but McCain’s core supporters will go into a frenzy. When in trouble, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout PANIC!!

Obama finally doing negative attacks, this is better than lying to people pretending that Obama is a candidate of change.

“When in trouble, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout PANIC!!”
You mean like what you guys are doing now?

I guess McCain is Herbert Hoover in drag. Mccain thinks if we close our eyes everything will be just fine.

Hey Obamites, Is this REALLY a unified party?
HILLARY CLINTON:I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience he will bring to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002.
BILL CLINTON:This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen,”
“I think that they played the race card on me. And we now know, from memos from the campaign and everything that they planned to do it all along,” Bill Clinton said in a telephone interview with WHYY’s Susan Phillips. “I was stating a fact, and it’s still a fact.”
SEN. BIDEN: John McCain is a personal friend, a great friend and I would be honored to run with or against John McCain.
SEN BIDEN: Hillary may have been a better choice than me

McCain was neck deep as a bribe taker in the Keating Five Lincoln Savings and Loan scandal so he’s a charter member screw-up of the US banking problem and his running mate Palin doesn’t know Fannie Mae from Mae West as proven by her Gibson interview … so any thinking, sane person should vote for Obama and Biden… if we are to get out of this GOP created mess before it’s too late.

STOCK MARKET HAS WORST DAY SINCE 9-11
You know how sequels are always worse than the Original… McCain is the Bush sequel. Why do we want 4 more years of Republican disaster
Obama, Biden ’08

Ah well.. You can all point fingers at the Republicans, but let’s not forget how sterling the character is of Charles Rangel. He’s in charge of developing tax legislation and he’s up to his butt in failure to pay and other discrepencies. It’s actually sad that both parties could screw this country up so bad. Time to throw these buttheads out of their crystal palaces and get some people with common sense in charge

So Biden treated a man in a wheel chair like he treats any other man? Beyond being a bit awkward for a few moments, what’s wrong with that? I suspect most of the people in wheelchairs want to be treated like everyone else, want the world to see them as whole people.
I suppose none of you have talked to a blind person and said “You see,…” Or maybe you don’t say anything to anyone who is obviously ‘disabled’ for fear of hurting their feelings?

Why all the hate? always with the hate.
I’ve seen it in politics before… but not like this, this is different, no acnowledgement of sound arguments against ur own views, utter hatred of views different to ur own. How can people so similar be so hateful to one another. It’s so depressing.
The internet gave rise to this and showed us the true ugliness of human nature and it’s not just random people any more but the politicians, celebrities, leaders and even scientists who people look to for guidance are just as bad. So much hypocrisy and hate, for so little gain. Where is the bi-partisanhip?, the co-operation? people are just labled “Democrat” or “Republican” and this is all in one country, what about the many others, some with even more hatred within them.
Pointless, all this will be forgotten in time… like tears in rain… Time to die (sorry I couldn’t resist)
I wonder…

‘Decentamerican’
I had to put your name in perenthesis because I believe that you are not decent at all. How did I know? Because for you to believe anything that comes from NY Post, is a clear indication that you are not decent at all.
Are you kidding me? Ny Post? The trashiest newspaper in the tristate region. A paper so trashy that people don’t take it even when they give out copies for free( which is the only thing they do now to boost circulation). The trash couldn’t even name their source and said a top iraqi official told them. How could you believe that? A paper that has already given mccain a trashy endorsement and is in tanks for mccain. Furthermore, how could you believe what the so called iraqi officials said, when they owe their positions to bush and are working in tandem with him.
Believe NYPost and its trashy headlines and I’ve got a bridge in alaska to sell you!!

The McCain camp is beginning to scare me. What’s particularly troubling is repeated news reports where McCain sticks by a claim even though it has been shown to be wrong.
For example, when Palin, in the second part of her first major interview since she joined the GOP ticket, defended the nearly $200 million in federal pet projects she sought as Alaska governor this year John McCain told a television audience she had never requested them.
Someone’s wrong here and I’m pretty sure it’s McCain. Further McCain claimed that Obama wanted sex education for children in kindergarden yet news agencies have repeatedly pointed out that there is no evidence to support this claim. These appear to be [untrue] and they’re a sign that McCain would be a bad choice for president.
I am an independent voter. I became an independent because I was disgusted by the track record of some Missouri Democrats who put looking politically popular over good policy.
In the presidential election, however, I’m going to vote Obama-Biden and I urge everyone else to do the same because McCain’s tactics are pretty disgusting.

John McCain claims he is for change – yet has 7 corporate lobbyists on his staff, voted with Bush over 90% of the time, and while saying he wants to free the U.S. it’s of dependence on foreign oil – he consistantly has voted against extending tax breaks for alternative energy. He supports a continued presence in Bush’s lie-based, elective Iraq war that has killed, maimed, wounded over 35,000 American troops, killed over 100,000 Iraqis, and wasted hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer’s money (the biggest earmark in history) – while terrorism runs amok in Pakistan/Afganistan, rendering the U.S. less safe and more isolated. Sarah Palin has so much baggage she could use a conveyor belt – first there is Troopergate, she had a trooper fired for divorcing her sister; next is her lie-based claim she opposed the “bridge to nowhere” – when in fact she supported this massive $348 million dollar earmark/boondoggle…until it became a political liability, now there is evidence she squandered nearly $50,000 of taxpayer’s money to fly her husband and children around – and accepted expense money for 312 travel days that were in fact spent at home! She supports the disgraceful, inhumane wholesale slaughter of magnificient wolves – while claiming to be a Christian, so morally bankrupt hunters can steal wolves sustinance, as she slashed programs for the poor by 60%! She opposes woman’s rights – opposing abortion even in the case or rape or incest. She claims to be pro-life, yet opposes potentially life-saving stem cell research that could offer miraculous cures for suffering human beings. She delusionally claims God wants us to build a pipeline in Alaska to enrich the coffers of greedy, unscrupulous oil companies – to the detriment of creatures God created and states “we are on a mission from God” in Iraq, a needless war that has slaughtered over 100,000 people for nothing but revenge, greed, and oil. Sarah Palin doesn’t belong in the White House – she belongs in a nut house!

To quote John Kerry: “John McCain is a prisoner of the right wing, not a maverick.”
What was McCain thinking by selecting Sarah Palin as his vice president? I don’t believe this is the best choice of a running mate when that person is only a heartbeat away from being president.
There were definitely more qualified candidates in the Republican Party.
Sarah Palin is not Hillary Clinton, and Hillary’s army of supporters should realize this fact. The Alaska governor is ardently anti-abortion, even in the case of rape or incest. She and McCain want to drill for more oil in the Gulf of Mexico.
Don’t hurricanes Gustav and Katrina, to name a few, dampen their ardor? Every hurricane in the gulf puts the oil rigs, as well as the refineries, in harm’s way.
Our country has to get away from its dependency on Middle East oil, as well as gulf oil, as soon as possible.
We need alternative fuels.
When we see what a country like China has accomplished when it put all its energy into it, the Chinese have better airports, train systems and so on, and their money isn’t being drained by a war in Iraq.
Our infrastructure in many places makes us look like a Third World country.
So much money is being drained by our war in Iraq, there isn’t much money left over for better schools, health care and so on. McCain and Palin are so busy catering to the National Rifle Association, neo-conservatives, anti-abortionists and others that the rest of us who think differently aren’t even noticed.
I guess the Republicans think they can win the election with only the right-wing of the party. McCain and Palin are just another term of the Bush/Cheney administration.

MCCAIN AND PALIN: THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE!

“I aint gonna stand for a darky muslim for presidint
White supremists for…
McCane Pailn 2008″
Wait don’t tell me….fifth year of junior college?

Along with lots of folks, I’ve been scratching my head over John McCain’s “maverick” choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate.
Obviously, he believes she’ll help him get elected. One of Palin’s strengths is her admirable record of cracking down on political corruption; even social progressives have got to admire that! The McCain campaign will certainly showcase this aspect of her political career and make the case that she’s accomplished more in her brief tenure than Barack Obama in his.
Sarah Palin’s reputation as a courageous reformer is, in my view, her strongest selling point to the electorate, and her greatest weakness once elected.
If McCain wins, she will be viewed by her colleagues not only as a negligible political featherweight (a la Dan Quayle), but also as an ambitious loose cannon whose reformer mentality threatens to expose their weaknesses. They’ll like her, but they won’t trust her. They’ll shoot moose with her, but they won’t ask her advice.
The naïve Palin will be easy prey for skillful manipulation by the Republican power elite. She’ll be marginalized within the administration and excluded from the innermost circles of decision-making when sensitive matters are discussed. She’ll be relegated to sitting quietly in the Senate chamber, dutifully presiding over proceedings as past vice presidents have done. She’ll be denied the opportunity to grow in office.
McCain is older than me, which makes him older than dirt. His medical history puts him at risk of incapacity, and it is likely Palin will have to act in McCain’s stead at some point. Is it wise to risk electing as president-potential one who is at best under-informed or (quite possibly) misinformed?
If you worry about Obama’s relative inexperience, please consider Palin’s. The potential for disaster is frightening. Maverick John McCain’s choice of Palin might have been short-term clever, but it was long-term reckless. I’m disappointed in his judgment.

I’m sorry, but I don’t want Palin anywhere near the presidentcy. I was going to vote for McCain after Obama did not pick Hilary, but now there is no way. I think I know more about the goverment the she does. Biden will be a decent VP, and he knows about the government.

James, do you stay up late at night coming up with new words and phrases you can put “Mc” at the front of? Stop the fluff, and get the the issues, please.

Unbelievable that McCain would stoop so low as to appoint the most unqualified person ever to run for the second-highest office in the land. He wants it so badly, he would sacrifice our country to get it. I cannot believe the entire party is in favor of his choice. Who will run our country if something happens to McC?

I wonder if McCain knows he has less than 4 years to live. seems like everyone else has come to that conclusion. lets talk about what Obama has to do with Freddie and Fannie, why did they give him so much money and why didnt he propose any reforms, he must have had some relationship with them.

f this story is true, it is the most important revelation of the election.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari has apparently revealed that the centerpiece of Barack Obama’s conversation with Iraqi leaders in July was his hope of delaying the draw-down of American military forces in Iraq. Zebari’s recounts that Obama “asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington.” Obama also reportedly insisted that Congress steer negotiations on the time-table of troops withdrawal, rather than the Bush administration, which he described as being in a “state of weakness and political confusion.”
Obama’s campaign has denied these accounts of his visit to Iraq. Such a private request for delayed troop reductions would run counter to Obama’s public statements on Iraq, in which he calls for an immediate withdrawal. Further, an attempt to subvert the executive branch would be contrary to established U.S. foreign policy.
If Zebari’s statements are discovered to be true, Obama would be guilty of the most unadulterated political profiteering and moral corruption in modern history. To seek electoral gain on the deception of a nation at war and the blood of American soldiers is nothing less than treasonous villainy – for which the offender ought to be tarred and feathered before being expelled from the country.

America is suffering under a democratic congress. Why would you vote for a foreign born democratic presidential nominee?

I know a guy who works for the NY Post for a dozen years who says they made the story about Obama and Iraq up. He has a good paying job, so he keeps working for them but he is frequently disgusted with things they make up and print. NY POST IS A LIAR. END OF STORY.

Now, the democrats have ruined our economy, it’s time to get a real reformer. There is only one proven executive that has demonstrated she can clean up the mess. Gov. Palin has proved she can do the job. She straightened up the budget of the city of Wasilla, Alaska. She also put the state energy commission, back on track and saved the state billions. Finally, as govenor, the state budget was cut by 13% with increased services to the citizens of Alaska. Impressive !!!
I can see why the democrats are afraid, very afraid.
Gov. Palin – America’s answer for a better future !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are women voters in America really that hungry for power that they will endorse Sarah Palin? She makes my flesh creep – that one-note voice. That limited script. That constant referral to her twin motifs – God and Our Boys. A carefully stage-managed series of network television interviews on ABC last week only reinforced my certainty that the election of this particular female would represent a backward step, not just for her sex, but for her country.
This is someone who didn’t apply for a passport until two years ago, who has only visited Canada – her next door neighbour – and Mexico, apart from one trip to Kuwait to visit the Army, with a stop-off in Germany on the way home to visit wounded soldiers. This, she told ABC’s Charlie Gibson, was the “trip of a lifetime”. Sarah Palin embodies all that is most insular about the American psyche. If you thought George Bush didn’t do foreign travel, welcome to the frighteningly xenophobic world of Mrs Palin.
-Obama Biden ’08

GOP vice presidential pick Gov. Sarah Palin seems to be winning the hearts of many Americans who say they can relate to her because she’s likable and folksy.
Let’s look back eight years: George W. Bush was voted into office by people who said they’d rather have a beer with him than with Al Gore. We know how well that worked out — we’re at war, in debt and dealing with an economic crisis. Meanwhile, Gore earned an Oscar and a Nobel Peace Prize for speaking out on the catastrophes of climate change (something Palin says she doesn’t even believe in).
What we need in the White House is not a buddy — or a best girlfriend — what we need are people who are smart, prescient, engaged in the larger world and who have thought deeply about all of the troubling issues facing this country.
It’s fine to like Sarah Palin. Call her up, invite her over for a mooseburger. But let’s not put her and Sen. John McCain in the White House.

Now it’s getting creepy. Sarah Palin has a public policy position relative to the building of a pipeline in Alaska. She identifies her position on this issue with the will of God. She sees the war in Iraq as a task for our nation assigned to us by God. How many other dimensions of her leadership does she or will she identify with the so-called “will of God”? This is the lead-ing edge of fanaticism. We have here one pathway toward the birth of a theocratic fascism.
I remember, perhaps better than she, a passage from Isaiah: “My thoughts are not your thoughts; neither are my ways your ways, says the Lord.” Surely the Lord of all creation has not taken a posi-tion on how to transport gas and oil from one site to another.

Sarah Palin’s remark about a “hockey mom” being a pit bull with lipstick is her own gaffe and she should live with the backlash. Whether she was referring to the old joke about the difference between a woman with PMS and a pit bull, or she was comparing herself to a pit bull, the whole comment showed bad judgment.
Was she trying to say that she is aggressive, tenacious, and willing to fight? If so, she should have picked a better breed. Pit bulls are one of the most, if not THE most, hated/feared breed in the nation. She should have gone with the German shepherd. They have those same qualities but they also are beloved, focused, trustworthy, loyal, and popular, to just name a few traits.
In my opinion, Palin made her bed and now she needs to lie in it.

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)

IT’S LIKE THE TITANTIC… These are crucial and dire times in our history and yet we may be putting a corrupt, dishonest, Rigid, Fundamentalist Featherweight with no international experience a heart beat away from the presidency.
So No to Caribou Barbie and McSame
-Obama Palin ’08

This is an exerpt from ABC news: “Under Obama, the wealthiest 1 percent of taxpayers, those making roughly $600,000 or more, would see their taxes go up on average by $93,709 in 2009, according to an analysis done by the Tax Policy Center, because Obama would begin implementing his tax changes even before the scheduled expiration of the Bush cuts.
Under McCain, those same taxpayers would see an average reduction of $48,860, reflecting in part additional cuts he is proposing.
By contrast, the bottom 20 percent of taxpayers, those with taxable income of roughly $19,000 per year or less, would see their taxes cut by an average of $567 under Obama’s program and $21 under McCain’s plan, the tax center estimates.
For the 20 percent of taxpayers right in the middle of the income scale, making roughly between $37,600 and $66,400, the tax break would be $1,118 under the Obama plan and $325 under the McCain plan in 2009, according to the analysis done by the tax center, a joint venture of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution, two Washington think tanks.”

Sarah Palin has a tanning bed installed in the Alaska Governor’s Mansion:
“The governor did have a tanning bed put in the Governor’s Mansion,” Roger Wetherell, chief communications officer of Alaska’s Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, confirmed to this newspaper. “It was done shortly after she took office [in early 2007] and moved into the mansion.”
Palin… All Vanity no substance

vote for obama,someone who sells the words he reads off the teleprompter.it’s all a show. act one, scene three.time to change the message again. maybe something like “real change”you must be kidding. most people are not buying it.

Community Organizer
“Democrats are better for the economy. It’s an irrefutable fact.” Did you not see Ronald Reagan!?!?! He created 16 MILLION JOBS! Good luck copying that, Jimmy Carter, and after all that prosperity, it’s hard to make many more jobs.

Joe, go back into your cave….you didn’t do anything for us when you were my Senator.

Paige- yes you, way up there, now VLADIMIR PUTIN has become a reliable source of info?!?! Think about his interests. McCain gets elected? His nation has to deal with someone who will draw the line and keep Russia from taking over small, eastern european countries. If Obama is elected? Putin’s henchman have peace talks while Georgians are massacred, and Russia takes over the world, just like Lenin and Stalin wanted in the first place. Now, who do you think he wants to win? Who do you think he is willing to lie and decieve to get in? If I was Putin, if I heard that BO had been elected, I would call my generals to a council of war immediately.

The GOP talking point of choice these days is to blame everything on the Democratically controlled Congress… We here is reality… you know the real world know the truth…. The truth is that the Dems have not been able to do much because they don’t have a large enough majority and get filibustered and also vetoed by the executive branch… the reason our country is in the shitter is due to the Bush 8 year disaster which McCain will be a sequel of. Just because Rush thinks for you doesn’t make it right dittoheads
Obama -Biden -08

Bill Cosby supports Obama

To I-EVOLVED, No you have not. And you LIED 32 times in this post. All your demos voted for the war too but Bush didn’t cut and run when the going got tough. They all beleived WMD because they all had same info. (Obama Osama did not of course, cause he was never there)Get educated. Don’t hate her just because she is perfect! (honest, real and has actually accomplished something besides a bunch of black votes in the getto for herself!) balanced a city and state budget. Cut hidden earmarks over 250 million. With open earmarks she bettered her state for her people.That is what real community leaders do!

I think McBush’s, cancer is getting bigger his head and his mouth look bigger.He wont make it 4 years..And the Bimbo, from Alaska, will be Bush-44 in a bra and panties. GOD HELP US….

Ievolved..You must not know or have Military in your family. 101st Air. was present in Iraq when Media announced to the World that UN Inspectors were coming to inspect WMD. That is when all Military stationed there witnessed 100′s of Semi’s and planes leave Afghan. & Iraq and go into Syria & Turkey. This was never allowed by the Govts in the past. Military there could do nothing about it. No orders to stop them, no approval for WAR then. Media puts Military at risk & only lets the American People see what they want them to see. Just like this crazy blog. Be thankful, they protect your freedom while you sit here & criticize McCain who almost gave up his LIFE for people like you. You will never understand unless you go to WAR or witness a terrorist attack. Most people have forgotten 9/11 & the advances we have made on the WAR on TERROR!! Vote for Obama & expect to have Military spending cut & protect yourself! Read Chicago Tribune to get the facts on the huge increase in taxes in Illinois since Obama was elected & also Education Funding has not improved since in office.!!!

By his own admission Biden admits he is not qualified to be VP.

Obama’s efforts to register felons
This is a story that’s been largely ignored by members of the mainstream media, but there is some pretty good evidence that Team Obama is actively targeting former felons in their voter registration efforts.
This effort makes sense for Obama politically if he can keep it quiet. There’s little doubt that former felons would lean heavily in his direction. The problem is, well, it’s a problem if the public finds out about it. So far the mainstream media have done their party by not covering this story.
Yesterday we talked about The New York Times article that admitted Obama’s camp has received briefings from the left-wing experts on registering felons. Why would Obama want these briefings if they weren’t interested in the subject?
One Obama campaign office had a sign in the window saying “Felons Can Vote” before they wisely removed it. And it’s clear that some of Obama’s allies are busy registering felons to vote for him.
This would be a good story if someone would do a little digging and find out if there’s even more to it, e.g. the extent of Obama’s efforts to register felons.

Coming from the really ugly mouth of a really ugly guy – it means nothing. Why is this guy even on the Democratic ticket? He’s been snarking around Washington way too long. I remember his snarky remarks when Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was appointed to the court. Biden – nothing there that is remotely likeable.

I pity American, i pity the next 4yrs, i wonderd what it will look like if MCCAIN PALIN finally came to power, American will beg for bread soon. i am not American but i love GREAT USA !! Please american put party diffrences and race apart and chose a wise and acceptable leader Think of ur future dont think of more wars. good luck as you chose ur leader but remainber both friends and enemy are watching you some will want you to do one more mistake so that Great American will become history.

It would be interesting to see McCain in a ‘Bush 69′ with Palin.

Just say NO to McBush 44! Time to trim the White House garden … NO MORE BUSHES PLEASE!
