Dem Senate Candidate Helps Craft McCain-Bashing SNL Skit

And Jake, of course it’s inappropriate. But when has NBC ever let that get in the way of anything?

SNL,and late night comedy shows have just become another pro-Obama mouthpiece like CNN,NBC, MSNBC.
SNL is on NBC–The National Barack Channel.
Too biased to make fun of Obama, they want him to win, and fear being called racist. They aren’t worth watching anymore.

This was…well…I do want to laugh…OK this is really funny, but I know it goes both ways…Now I am really really laughing. Please don’t bash McCain too much…hee hee.
McCain I like, but his lobbiest I do not. Palin I do not…sorry, still giggling. :) ouch, my side hurts.

I’m afraid the skit gives Senator McCain too much credit for being clueless about what his campaign is doing. Much as we all excuse GWBush for all his sins based on the assumption that he is an imbecile.

“I will not watch them again–it isn’t funny anymore, it’s just plain hateful.”

Everything about the GOP is a joke. From the idiot Bush, to the geezer and naughty librarian. Change is coming.

I am expecting to hear “Conflict of Interest” whining in the next few minutes.

Of course it’s appropriate. In particular, many many of long-term McCain backers have described his add technique as pathetic and dishonorable. SNL is simply incorporating that public dialogue into their skit.
It’s fairly accurate. And appropriate.

SNL’s GOAL is to be politically irreverent! The bottom line with any SNL skit: Did it work? Was it funny?
I laughed several times.

The truth is the video is making fun of Obama not McCain and a Democrat made it.

If Palin is elected, maybe she can satisfy all those who didn’t like this sketch and ban SNL.

Hilarious…and so poignant it scary!
Vote smart in November!

VOTE SMART. VOTE FOR McCain and Palin not a person who the Media is trying to shove down our throats for ratings.

It is supposed to be inappropriate. That is the whole idea. Get a life people. This is funny – under 8 years of Bush reign have we really lost our sense of humor too? Don’t let them take that away from us. We will need it as we wallow in the mess created by these old Republicans and as the Democrats try to pull our country from the brink of destruction.

exactly what is the Bush REIGN. Or the Bush Doctrine.

As McCain has said before: “My friends, you’ve got to have a sense of humor in these things.”
I hope he likes it.

Have we become so polarized that we’ve forgotten the point of political satire? Are we so far gone as to not laugh at ourselves? Good, bad or indifferent political satire keeps our minds alert for the inconsistencies in message and charlatans of character. Beware of those who can’t take a joke and stifle criticism, least you become the punchline.

I am writing on the 700 billion dollar bail out Sec. Paulson wants Congress to pass, again without any regulation or oversight! It seems to me that corporations are trying to save their own hides on the backs of the American people. We cannot allow this to happen to us again and again — corporations first, people never. And no one knows what loans belong to who and they may never know. How can that be? It sounds fishy and criminal. We cannot just go rushing into this maze but we must carefully try to find our way out that will benefit the people this time and not the corporations, who are only trying to save their wealth, their way of life. Trickle down economics does not make sense because in nature we build from the bottom up, etc. a plant, a tree, a child and even when we build homes or cars we start from the bottom and expand up or outwards and that is how we should model our business dealings and growth. We cannot work against nature’s wisdom and intelligence by hoping things will trickle down. It is just not sensible. We have a intelligent design through nature and we should use her model not man’s greed. It is very hard for me to trust the people who got us into this mess to be able to get us out of this mess. That too does not make sense!

How dare anyone question anything. How dare anyone exercise freedom of speech. How dare we criticize.

The problem with the skit is they only mock McCain. A clearer example of this type of ad is Obama’s ad on the spanish language networks that links Rush and McCain, misquotes Rush (contextually) and states McCain was anti illegal immigrants when his policies on this issue are in fact, completely opposite of where most of his party members and blue collar Democrats are. I have no problem w/ this type of humor when it is equal opportunity. That does not happen much on the MSM.

What a great phony outrage for conservatives to rally behind. Hey Zank, yes I do remember the good old days of SNL, apparently you don’t. Franken and his writing partner Tom Davis wrote many great anti-right sketches including brilliant parodies of Nixon, America’s worst president until you-know-who.
So Franken, a career writer and performer, should be forbidden from keeping ties with his past career?? I guess the only thing worse would be a Prez & VP from the oil & defense contractor industries keepging ties and running our whole damn country into the ground with their conflicts of interest. (And their party setting up the most lobbyist-fueled candidate ever and an unqualified hack from Alaska as their predecessors.)
Oh, that actually happened? In the words of Emily Lattella…never mind.

The problem with David Atherton’s argument here is that he claims McCain has some kind of discernable policy, as in something that has not been wholly contradicted by McCain, himself, severalfold over the course of say, two minutes. McCain’s stance on immigration is as difficult to know as his stance on the economy or meeting NATO allies, or, well, jus about everything. You’re gonna trust this man? The straight-talk express crash full speed at the start of this campaign.

I am an Obama supporter, but this crossed the line. All we need right now is some right-wing fanatics to associate this skit with the Obama campaign. Lorne Michaels, where were you?

Yes, I want a President who lies to me. Yes, I want a President who is so very cynical about America and it’s citizens that he thinks any lie will fly. I want a President so clueless that he will sacrifice the good of the country in order to bolster the wealth of his cronies. Yes, I want a President who puts himself first. Go, McCain. Yes, go. Go away you piece of garbage.

This message is to Harry ….
Here I am and here you are
Are we young impressinables who don’t know any better ….?…. I am a white, female, 80 year old independent lady who has lived long enough to determine the obvious.

Mitch. Regarding the McCain ads you mentioned, please keep in mind the following: a. While the bill on sex ed may have been bland, the program it implemented was not. If you read it, you will find the sex ed for kindergarten inludes an awful lot of stuff I did not know until I was a LOT older and did not need to know at that point of my life. b. Yes, Obama’s comment about lipstick on a pig was overtly about McCain, but, everyone in the audience knew it was a back handed slap at Palin. They all laughed–I laughed–because I thought it was pretty slick. But, it was a metaphor used too quickly after Palin’s statement and had adequate “plausible denial.” But, you know and everyone else knows, the comment referred, secondarily, to Palin. c. Obama can not give 90 percent of Americans a tax cut. The Republicans gave 40-50 percent of them such deep cuts they pay virtually no income taxes now. The lion’s share of taxes are already paid by the top twenty percent of earners and the top ten percent pay an inordinate share of the nation’s taxes(20 percent pay 80 percent of the taxes or there abouts).
Further, on the tax issue, when you tax the “evil corporations,” you tax the poorer people and the middle class. Why? a. You reduce employment because the capital that goes to expansion which creates jobs, is burned up in taxes, b. you reduce the profit which pays the dividends which go to all our 401k’s and c. You increase the cost of goods which the average American pays to the corporation so the corporation can pay to the government which will squander the money with administrative expenses for virtually ANY program it runs in the 60-70 percent bracket. So, $1 in a government program funds about 30-40 cents of what it is supposed to do. No bargain.
The ads are pretty spot on.

If you seriously believe that all of McCain’s ads are distortions, while Obama’s are the gospel truth, you deserve exactly what you get in this next election.
For instance, Obama’s latest manure-shoveling exercise is to slam McCain for wanting to privatize Social Security.
Whew, I have to hand it to the Democrats. They’ve actually created a system that allows them to confiscate ever-increasing amounts of cash from the average hard-working American’s paycheck … yet not pay a dime of those contributions back to the families of people who die before they can collect … and meanwhile, they convince people that it’d be a really, really scary thing if we were actually able to keep control of our own money.
If you buy that story, just say, “Baa” (and go run with the other sheep).

Oh Please: If you’d like to see why democrats are “claiming” that McCain wanted to privitize social security, here is a link to, ahh, McCain wanting to privitize social security. I’m not sure, but hearing McCain say so, may be reason why democrats are claiming that, well, he said so.

Scroll down and hear John McCain talk out privatization, when he now claims that he never was in favor of it. I’m not trying to persuade you to vote one way or the other. Yes, both camps have distorted facts…but I do believe that you put a lot of faith in what McCain has put out there and none in the facts presented by Obama. Vote as you like, but at least, check the facts and know where the candidates really stand. As I read your post, I saw many inaccuracies. Take the time and check. That’s all I’m suggesting. If you’re on here, it means this election means a lot to you. It means a lot to me. I am not a senior, but my parents are…I owe it to them, myself and America to make the most informed decision.
Hope you check. Good luck.

Actually, I thought the Mad TV spoof video with Hillary and Barack (set to the tune of “Umbrella” by Rihanna) was much funnier. Still, it’s funny to watch a video of the guy I’m voting for. Go McCain!

lighten up, it is just a joke. We are trying to inject humor in the campaign.

What disturbs me about this thread is the total lack of understanding of satire as an art form.
The “literal interpretations” and “rebuttals” and “explanations in partisan terms” indicate that the general intelligence level of this country has sunk to a new low.

mccain has appeared on snl serveral times and he thought he was funny.so why isn’t this funny. snl has made funny of all of the canidates espeially bill clinton. all of the adds the rep. did against Obama they said was ment to be funny they should be rolling in the isles. romny said the add about Obama ,paris,britt was ment to be funny,I know he is laughing at this. We need to pray people.

Is there a link to the skit SNL did re The One?
I must have missed it.

i have a totally non-partisan off topic question.
if we raise the tax on the rich ( a la joe biden) won’t we drive them to create less jobs? to spend less money? won’t they lay-off workers to compensate for higher taxes and raise the price on goods? won’t they move businesses and money overseas?
on the other hand (a la republicans) if the poor don’t have money then they don’t and cannot spend to support economic growth.
i have yet to decide who i will vote for (waiting for the debates) but ultimately i want to make an informed decision. not one that is based on party loyalty.
any takers?

The issue here isn’t one of something being comedy or satire or humor or an art form. It’s a matter of bias and distortion in the influential media, which is Democratic-dominated and has created and sustained the myth of McCain’s dishonesty versus Obama’s truthfulness. The Obama campaign and the media are getting away with it because the media themselves are the spin doctors in this case.
Now, for example, it is an officially established fact that Karl Rove agrees with the Democrats that McCain is dishonest and Obama isn’t. Why? Because the Democrats took a Rove comment out of context for an ad (about **McCain’s** dishonesty!!) and immediately pushed the quote on reporters (“In case anyone was still wondering whether John McCain is running the sleaziest, most dishonest campaign in history, today Karl Rove — the man who held the previous record — said McCain’s ads have gone too far,” — campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor in a statement to the media) and the media not only didn’t “fact check” it, but helped it along into an urban legend. For example, CNN ran this headline: “Rove: McCain went ‘too far’ in ads.” And their article, just like the Obama ad, takes the quote out of context and mischaracterizes the whole interview, emphasizing only McCain. Now the media can refer to this legend as fact. Here’s Time’s Joel Klein: “Politics has always been lousy with blather and chicanery. But there are rules and traditions too. In the early weeks of the general-election campaign, a consensus has grown in the political community — a consensus that ranges from practitioners like Karl Rove to commentators like, well, me — that John McCain has allowed his campaign to slip the normal bounds of political propriety.”
This is **hardly** the only distortion helped along by the media – there are many. And it is simply inexcusable on their part, since an opinion quote is about the easiest thing in the world to check. Just look at the transcript of what was said. This is a part of it: “WALLACE: All right, and for fair game, what is McCain doing that goes a step too far? ROVE: Well, McCain has gone in some of his ads — similarly gone one step too far, and sort of attributing to Obama things that are, you know, beyond the 100 percent truth test.” Rove says McCain has **similarly** gone too far. Just from that, it should be clear that Rove’s remarks have been allowed to be distorted. This isn’t even a case of Rove slipping up and accidentally revealing his real opinion of McCain, and later wanting to revise what he said. Rove indicated afterward that the Democrats just mischaracterized what he said (“Of course, they fail to say anything about the fact I said they were even more misleading.”), and they did distort what he said, and the media have given them free reign to continue to do so.

Well Not every network in the world
can be the OBAMA network
McBush advertisements are so Lame
You think Obama produced them…
you have a Obama Girl
So where is the Mcbush girl? lol

Someone compared corporaate bailouts to welfare receipiants? That is an odd comparison.
Bailing out a corporation that provides jobs, provides services and also pays taxes, to people who do no work, pay no taxes and contribute nothing?
Yes, sounds like a good comparision!

Underdog thank you for your view. i have heard mccain talk about ‘greed’ as well.
i really would like for us the people to sift thru the issues in public forums so that we can make an informed decision on election day.

Were do liberals get their statistics? “Virtually all Republicans beleive Obama is a Muslim”?
Please cite your source for that statement! I would like to see the poll your quoting on that!

SNL has always gone after anyone who is in the public life…..Dan Quayle, Bob Dole, Bill Clinton, Dan Snyder just to name a few….why is this such a big deal now? It’s comedy people…..last thing you want to do is let them know where you tied your goat.

Heather
Hope you got the link, before they remove the ‘TRUTH OF REPORTING’, SOME PEOPLE CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH..
LIES ARE MORE COMFORTABLE.. AS IN OBAMA IS A MUSLIM..
THAT WON’T BE REMOVED.
IT FITS THE DIRECTION OF THE LAST PAST 8 YEARS..
NOTHING BUT LIES..
YES “WE” CAN

ALL,,
DID YOU HEAR IN A WHISPER:
That it maybe a plot by the Republicans to pass this ‘BAIL OUT’ to strap the hands of Obama, if he wins the election, he will have no power to control to sponsor any of his plans, it will all lie in the hands of Paulson, as the bill reads that no bills or laws will change or review the control of the Sec. of Treasure.

Breaking
Another McCain ad false. Obama only met Former CEO once for 5 minutes. I guess since McCain only met Palin once and had All the information he needed to pick her has VP, he would assume Obama do the same.
McCain/Pain 08′ = Senior Moment/Cheney 08′

Breaking
Palin driving women away in Florida because of her conservatism views. Also Obama ads have more truth then McCains.
Obama/Biden 08′

Jo
One thing is clear. Your not voting issues because if you were, you would know how false that statement is.
September 07 Hillary is inevitable.
September 08 Obama vs McCain.
McCain/Palin 08′ – Champion of deregulat… I mean regulation.

Have you noticed a sense of urgency among Obama surrogates, and the pro-Obama media–like NBC,CNN, Newsweek, New York Times.
They are panicking because the number of voters that think BO is a Muslim has increased.
There are more articles/comments blaming racism for his inabililty to close the deal.
For some reason they just don’t want to blame anything on BO’s radical past, and thin record in the Senate.
Or accept the fact that Americans simply trust McCain more.

Post Reagan Republicans-
“Underwrite our mistakes and we will undercut your future.”

From the comments here I’d say a lot of these Obama lemmings went to church with him! Rev Wright has instilled a great deal of hate within each of you! I hope you can get some help with your problems! Meanwhile, I couldn’t care less what they show on SNL…all public figures are fair game! I’d like to see
them do a skit with Obama, Rev wright, Rezko, Sinclair, etc, etc, now that would be hilarious!

This skit basically gives McCain a pass. As if he doesn’t really understand how dirty his campaign has become. I’m sure he does understand–he’s old and ultra conservative, not necessarily dumb and certainly can’t claim to be honorable anymore.

Here’s Johnny
I think a funnier skit would be McCain forgetting that he is rich.

Riley…you are correct! The fact is that many of us out here who cling to our guns and religion don’t get polled. We are usually at work. The entire shift is due to being able to trust this radical….after seeing RevWright and hearing his lame excuses I could not vote for him! Obama supporters are being “bamboozled and hoodwinked” by this one time muslim…now a christian???…once schooled in the muslim religion, etc, etc, whatever….

Colorado. Not sure if you’ve been paying attention to the economy in the US but this “create less jobs? to spend less money? won’t they lay-off workers to compensate for higher taxes and raise the price on goods? won’t they move businesses and money overseas?” is what has been happening in the “trickle down” free market economy of Bush for 8 years. Company’s take their tax breaks while employing people overseas. Works great for the CEO’s–not so good for the rest of us. Maybe it’s time to try a different approach.

What else do you expect from NBC that has been a mouthpiece for Obama since day one? It is really pathetic, if you think about it, how low some competitors to ABC has sunk.

NcCain was a person we respected BEFORE his nasty, dishonorable campaign!!
We could have voted for him- once.
McCain’s lies and win at all cost along with his phony Alaskan partner- turns us away!
Alaska supplies 20% of our oil- reality is – it supplies 3.5%.
She nixed the bridge to now where-
another whooper- Congress nixed the bridge- but-she kept the money.
She hired a lobbyist as mayor to go after earmarks,
She has a transparent government in place- that’s why everyone on the council- including majority Republicans voted for the investigation.The investigation she & hubby refuses to cooperate with!Palin is vindictive.
These lies are repeated many times- and shows a lack of integrity for McCain and Palin
Palin not only put her 17 year old unmarried pregnant daughter on stage- but put Levi, the baby’s 18 year old- gum chewing- father on stage with her. This was to show they are just a normal more American family- than most?? I didn’t see it that way.
McCain brags about being the insider who can get things done- what is he today?
Couldn’t list all the lies- it would take too much time. A truly sleazy pair.

Make US strong again | sooooooooooo what do you perceive to be the solution?

OBAMA = BETRAYAL
Obama supporters are foolish to think that he will never betray them.
Obama was a close friend of Pastor Wright for TWENTY YEARS.
Obama threw Wright under the bus for personal ambition.
McCain would not betray his country even after 5 years of torture.
You can put lipstick on a traitor, but he’s still a traitor.

Make US strong again | so it sounds like perhaps they keep us chained to the capitalist system by perpetuating the myth that without the rich our economy would collapse? problem is it has collapsed-and is being debt sustained (life support) on our backs eh!
i really have not decided who i will vote for but this issue will likely determine my vote.

This year seems to be nastier than any other, now Rangel is saying Sarah Palin is disabled… The low blows by the dems really has me sick, I might have to never vote dem again. (sorry mom and dad, raised a dem, but this is low)

samhiguchi
You know what he meant. Unable, as in foreign policy wise. Fabricated issue. Republicans seem to love them.

samhiguchi
Yes I know all about it because I been paying attention. Rezco was convicted of fraud but nothing led back to Obama. Ayers was a radical but I guess Christians stop believing in forgiveness since McCain started running. And I guess Rev. Wright was way to honnest about what he feels. I believe I am voting for the right person. But run along and vote for more deregulation of the banks, and federal lobbyist run White House.

NYCwoamn
Reality check the Bush and Republican administration cause the mess. Then put a trillion dollars to bail them out. Bush won’t lift a finger to help with foreclosures, but allow CRIMINAL wall street practices. By the way add a trillion dollars to the national debt on top of the over Trillion dollars caused by the Iraq debt.

colorado
What rock have you been living under? The debate is not on the economic model; that is an academic debate. The debate is on the regulation, and corporate lobbyist influence in the Federal Government. But I guess a lot of McCain supporters have been kept blind by the McCain camp.
McCain/Palin 08′ – This election is not about foreclosures, wall street, economics, or Iraq. It is about personalities.

Last couple of weeks the Obama plan and their minions were to use the word lie and McCain as much as possible. Not going to work, however, when Obama has lied about so much you can google a list that takes hours to go through. Deal breaker lies for me were 3 of BO’s bedfellows….Wright, Ayers and Rezko…Obama can act ignorant all he wants about a racist, a terriorist, and a criminal….BUT AMERICA KNOWS THE TRUTH.
I’m wating for the Hillary to replace Biden shock that is expected to happen in early October, due to Biden’s “health” problems. Obama needs her and her 18 million votes, but it still won’t work.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN, even before the Palin pick.

Thought it was pretty funny and I have just a slight feeling that both campaigns are being run in this manner. Throw a bucket of smelly stuff on the wall and see what sticks. The sad part about both is that they are promising things that will be difficult to accomplish. It would be nice if anyone had the courage to say “look, we don’t have the money to do all these wonderful things that have been promised, let alone ones that we are promising.”
It is real sad when we as citizens want to vote for the guy who will promise to give us or our interest the most money and it is particularly sad when such bright, well educated men and women sometimes well meaning – other times not
have inadvertently made a mess of our economy.

MM…Democratic controlled Congress was asked 17 times by Bush to address the Freddie and Fannie situation…Democratic Congress gridlock is the problem..which is why McCain is the guy with the RECORD OF WORKING ACROSS THE AISLE and really working as bipartisan…COUNTRY FIRST, AMERICANS FIRST. party second…unlike Obama…ego first, ego second, ego always.
McCain will appoint Dems to his cabinet and wants the best and brightest with no bickering over credit.
The only choice…McCAIN/PALIN.

It’s funny. And for a parody, bears a striking resemblance to the state of McCain’s advertising.

HP Boston
Obama treated Hillary like a candidate for President, and not a woman running for President. I can read double standard in both Spanish and English. There were hurt feelings on both sides, But vote for McCain I am sure he will overturn Roe v Wade the first time he gets.

From NoQuarter:
“Let’s start with the numbers. Why is a first term Senator pulling down almost $300,000 a year from Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG, Countrywide Financial, and Washington Mutual? He has not even completed his fourth year in the Senate and received a total of $1,093,329.00 from these eight companies and their employees. (all data from OpenSecrets.org). John McCain’s numbers, according to OpenSecrets.org for the period 1990-2008 (i.e., 18 years worth of data) only collected $549,584.00. In other words, Barack is receiving $273,582.25 (and 2008 is not over) per year while McCain raised a paltry $30,532.44.
Want another shocker? Barack Obama has received more from one source–Goldman Sachs $542,252.00–than McCain has from all of the companies combined. Who the hell is more beholden to lobbyists? And why does a junior Senator from Illinois rate this kind of dough?”

HP BOSTON es verdad lo que dice ud.
i agree hp boston, as a hispanic i also noticed that obama largely ignored us until now when he needs our votes. he is all over colorado and new mexico almost daily.
obama did make this election a black and white issue forgetting all about the largest minority group which is hispanics.
an undecided purple person who will always believe that hillary would have been the best choice.

My Name is Omentum and I approve that message. Where was the humor?????? It’s the clear-eyed stark truth.

SNL segment was nothing new. We are watching this show any time John McCain appears on TV and struggles two put two sentences together always against OBAMA.
I don’t have any problem in characterizing McCain .He is a Republican! According to his own campaign, Republicans are corrupt and incompetent. Obviously he has inside information.

Lorne Michaels caters to the young and ignorant audience and I expect this satire…however the funniest skit so far was Obama in the White House as “Presiden Obama” calling Hillary in a panic at 3AM because he couldn’t handle it and was smoking again….he couldn’t even find the heater. He will be THE MOST ADVISOR DRIVEN PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME….SOCK PUPPET.
I guess this is why Lorne Michaels (Exec. Producer SNL) is supporting/contributing to JOHN SYDNEY McCAIN not Barack Hussein Obama.

cincyr….yeah McCain ran in 2000 and played fair, like he is now…until Bush spread a rumor about him having a black child (he happens to have an adopted daughter from Bangladesh). McCain and Bush don’t like each other which is why you can’t tie these two toether personally.
However, we sure can tie Obama to Rezko, Ayers and “uncle” Wright. The ads will start coming about mid October and WRIGHTFULLY SO. I heard there is a good one with Obama on tape talking up his banished mentor.
Obama NOT READY…NO JUDGEMENT. During these complicated global times I, AND MILLIONS, WILL NOT VOTE THE JR. SENATOR, MOST LIBERAL CANDIDATE OF ALL TIME, into the White House.
There will be VOTER FRAUD with Obama too….they’ll be counting votes days after 11/4….make Bush/Gore look like a tea party.

Since we can’t get the real video of McSame’s thought process in approving the actual lies and slander he put on the airwaves already, let alone what he planning over the next forty-three days, I have to think that the SNL skits certainly came close to nailing it!
Anyone like DEB, who thinks McSAME is running an honorable campaign is simply blind to reality. Thankfully, most Americans aren’t buying his crap, or that of his soulmate, screaming sarah the impaler!
This election is too important to ignore McSame’s lies, or his inability to think coherently or stick with an off-the-cuff position without being reined in by his handlers.
No Way, NO HOW, NO McSAME/PALIN!!!
Obama/Biden 08

The Republican ticket!
John McCain (We bomb everything FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! )
Sarah Palin (I see Russia from my house)
His aged and ambitious
She is young and motivated.
For him is the last chance to be President
For her the last chance to be his cheerleader.
John McCain and Sarah Plain promise of change: Is a change to nowhere.
Nowhere near to help the American people with a real economic change Nowhere near to build America’s independence from oil. Nowhere near to help the 95% of the American families.
Nowhere near to help the entrepreneurs and working families to keep jobs in America.
Nowhere near to provide the medical care reform for the American people and the Veterans who they are not fought for the red and blue states of the electoral map they fought against the terror and to keep America on the map. There is not much left of this campaign and the media have turned a blind eye on the false accusations of McCain. They are keen on to create more crap stories and they don’t challenge the candidates on the issues. We watch the ladies from the ‘View’ trying to do the job of the expect savvy political commentators. Americans have the chance to repair the damages of the Bush Administration.
If the Americans are not ready to see this campaign on the colors of the electoral map RED and BLUE. But only focus on the color of the candidates BLACK and WHITE then they deserve another four years of economic chaos, job losses, foreclosures and open new hostile fronts around the world.

What a Ostrich and the Republicans have in common? Let me guess!
Both hide their head on the sand and pretend everything is fine
An ostrich bury its head in the sand and pretend everything is fine
Republicans do the same and follow McCain !
America and the world is suffering with the blunders of Bush Administration
The economy have crumple and the prosperity of many people are under risk not only in America but also worldwide.
John McCain and Sarah Palin promise of change: Is a change to Nowhere
This election is not only about some bridge in Alaska it is about all the bridges and roads in all the o United States because they are all crying out for repairs and maintenance. This is because for the last 8 years the Bush and the Republicans have spent enormous amounts to build up Iraq and they have forgotten about the needs of their own country.

The country is on the brink of economic disaster and we have two Bozos (Obama amd Biden)having a great time rollicking around the country. One is hobnobbing with Hollywood stars..the other is pretending he’s a modern day Johnny Ringo with a fast Beretta. And, it’s all Backwards. The Jr. Senator who has not even completed one full Senate term is at the head of the ticket for President, and the 36 year old veteran Senator is at the rear of the ticket. As Don King would say-Only In America!!

Of course it’s appropriate, if by “appropriate” you mean in the spirit of McCain’s actual lies, distortions, and smears-by-association; cf. yesterday’s video, with McCain’s death’s-head grin at each applause line/lie. It’s utterly fair satire.
Funny? Nothing about this election is funny. Sic transit gloria mundi.

I think SNL has been trying to make up for the Tina Fey exposure of the media bias on the first show back from the writer’s strike. SNL got flack from that. Shame because if that skit had been done a month earlier HRC would have been the nominee. On 60 minutes tonight McCain came across as a “safer” bet than Obama because he has experience and is not afraid to take stands on tough issues. He has the courage of his convictions. Obama came across as saying what he thinks people want to hear. He promises everything to everybody-and that is impossible to deliver. He has totally turned into exactly what he was running against. It’s easy to for Obama to blame others because they can’t blame him as he’s never done anything.

Where was the parody pointing to Obama’s 77% negative ads, compared to McCain’s 56%? If the jack—– watching SNL believe the hype, you will, again, be in a conundrum when Obama loses. The majority of America does not share your spin. SNL is a shill for the far left of the Democratic party; Hillary was portrayed the same way. A Republican, I switched parties, and voted for her in PA, because of the bias. I think, and know, that I am not alone. Obama supporters hatred and vitriol, continue to fuel the dissent. I will vote for McCain/Palin, as a democrat. Cannot come soon enough!

The SNL skit was barely funny at all. I saw it, was hoping for something better. Franken is about as boring as watching cement dry.

Let the good people of Minnesota decide.
