First Sign of Signs

Tucked under the arms of floor volunteers and now being placed onto seats on the delegate floor.

One side says “Peace”, the other says “Country First”. Both sides point you to John McCain’s website.

I’m sure ABC will bend all coverage to enhance Obama’s image and destroy McCain’s.

McCain on the Economy:
“Most Americans do not know what inflation is. Because of this, I will lower taxes and print more money. Americans will feel like they have more money even if their dollar lowers in value. Bread may cost $100 a loaf, but the higher consumer spending will make our economy look better.”

The Party of War will be displaying “Peace” sings?
The Party of “God First, Country Last” will be holding up “Country First signs?
What’s next… Will the party of Trillion-dollar pointless wars be holding up “Smaller Govermnment” signs”
I think they need only one sign:
Side A: “Hypocrit”
Side B: “Hypocrit”

McCain on Iraq:
“Let’s face it, troops are expendable. A vote for me will insure that your fathers, brothers, and sons, will be on the front lines, dying for Iraqi’s freedoms. I firmly believe we should not be hunting terrorists, and that we should stay in Iraq, waging the war against Muslims.”

Obama, a community organizer. Now that’s a real joke!

Obama – a black liberationists married to a woman who wrote her thesis on black separatism. What a pair!

After watching the Democratic convention whic was very optimistic, assuring Americans about the future and how to solve our problems the Republican convention was very polarizing.
I think am going to vote Obama- Biden.
Am independent.

As I read through the ABC blogs today, I’ve come to believe that ABC’s intent is to become the National Enquirer. All I see in the blogs are gossip and innuendo. I’ve not seen a single blog that’s actually newsworthy.
Shame ABC!

McCain says, “Allowing immigrants into our country is wrong. I do not enjoy seeing Mexicans, native-Americans, Africans, or anyone else come into our country that wasn’t here to begin with.”

From the signs of who Palin really motivated last night…maybe they should get signs that say put your money where your mouth is…
in the last 24 hrs Obama people were motivated so much by her empty yet loud and fun speech…they raised close to 9 mil
the RNC with all the “motivating” she did of the base…raised A mil.

The next time Sara Palin shows up, how about asking her:
1) about her federal pork and
2) about her praise of Barack Obama’s energy policies
3) if Jesus said ‘heal the sick’ and the GOP always says universal health care equals socialism, are they saying Jesus was socialist?
The next time John McCain shows up, how about asking him Jon Stewart’s quuestion: “If living near Russia makes you an expert on Russia does living near the north pole make you an expert on Santa Claus?”
Jon Steward seems to be the only one asking revealing questions!

I see you borrowed my name. Too ashamed of yours to post it? Your parents must really be proud!

Obama people are slamming Palin because there’s absolutely nothing positive they can say about Obama. Absolutely nothing!

The newest CBS poll has McCain and Obama tied. The message is getting through that Obama is nothing more than a bag of hot air.

McCain responded today to Petraeus’s call for no drawdown of troops by saying, “Let’s face it, troops are expendable. A vote for me will insure that your fathers, brothers, and sons, will be on the front lines, dying for Iraqi’s freedoms. I firmly believe we should not be hunting terrorists, and that we should stay in Iraq, waging the war against Muslims.”

The newest CBS poll has McCain and Obama tied. Where’s the big gain that McCain’s pandering pick of Palin was to give?

Let’s face it, this country will never elect a black man to be president, certainly not when a white man runs against him.

Sarah Palin really has taken a hit from all those elite eastern media types at all her press conferences.
Oh, she hasn’t had any. Never mind.

Quote from a republican at the convention, “She’s a talented speaker. She gives a great speech. She has the ability to capture people’s attention and give them hope and make them excited,”
I swear it sounds like he’s talking about Obama instead of Palin.

The Brits, who are much different from the rest of Europe, have calLed Sarah Palin a combination of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan (see The Daily Telegraph). Wow. Those Brits are usually ahead of the game. (They were with Margaret Thatcher).

McCain on the Church:
“America is a country of Christians. Electing me president will insure that I will wage war against enemies of the church not only in Iraq, but in our homeland as well. I and Sarah will not rest until we have purified our borders.”

========================================
That is what you are hoping for but after 8 years of Bush sending America into its worst state of decline people will vote with their brains. Americans not only love their country but are also more intelligent than you think.
Did i say am white?

The only think to Really worry about debating, is, can those surronded by corrupt money, is turned Clinton from Deocrates. And seems to buy fixed records. What if Clinton, and Rick Davis, knew they could buy anybody they wanted. It Fixed McCains Record in the past. And Do not, forget how it bought, Nixons election. I am sure, that special interest groups, who have paid lobbiests, could fix any paperwork. Clinton, had bought de-regulatios, paperwork fixers, and now McCain will have to distance himself, from Rick Davis and Clinton scandels. After all, what if they try to buy Joe Biden. They made Obamas paperwork disappear before. After all, the FBI has been bought before. Those special interest groups, are still on Wall Street, and in other postistion in HIGH Government. McCain should not Debate Obama. McCain is still best friends with Clinton, and has covered up Rick Davis’ Paperwork as best as he could. The ‘Secret Government’, is still in place. We WILL remember McCain has been in Government, a LONG TIME. Imagine that McCain has MORE POWER to fix the POLLS, and FIX PAPERWORK. How Will AMERICANS, Be able to trust a MYTHICAL SECRET ILLUMINATI. The Debates should NOT go on. Fox news was Bought, by special interest groups. Watch CNN and MSNBC. How many in the Senate are still corrupt. The Republican Cocus, has been caught in Lies TOO.
So the question becomes, what happened to paperwork?
Well United America. You already Know, you can not, get into collage without a Birth Certificate, Which the Collage had on Record. Yes, I would ask WHY, it Disappeared.
WHO DE-REGULATED, the OVER-SIGHT, of PAPERWORK RECORDS? The current government, has made people disappear BEFORE. WHY? Corruption? Buy offs? Well Bill Clinton and Rick Davis, STILL has not been Questioned, in FRONT of the WORLD. Notice how FOX NEWS does NOT, show ALL the STORY. WHY?
CNN and MSNBC, has shown MORE about BOTH Canidadates. Both SHOW mistakes made, by Obama, McCain, Palin, and Biden. FOX DOES NOT. Interesting…
Are we headed, for another Flip-Flopping, Senate?
The Out of Touch, Has been Caught Lying, and Would agree, then not agree.
WHY? Why has McCain, Not Givin’ his View on the Bill? The Out of Touch Senate, DOES NOT have the answer either. CNN and MSNBC ask ALL Senate Members. None can give an answer.
Call your Senate Office, and ask Why.
Watch on CNN and MSNBC as ALL the Senators, give the ANSWERS.
Be an INDEPENDATE VOTER. NO DEMOCRAT or REPUBLICAN VOTES, VOTE UNITED. INDEPENDANT, and FAIR. Who has access to fixing Paperwork. De-Reagulaters. ‘Free Market’ means NO PAPER WORK IS WANTED. Is Wall Street Crooks Gone Yet? NO. Is Paperwork Still Being Changed? YES. What will Corrupt Wall Street do? Hide the Money for Rick Davis? Another Clinton and Davis Fannie Mae? Has Goldman Sachs been De-Regulated? NO. So WHO CONTRIBUTED MONEY? :) WE SEE THEIR PICTURES. Thanks Guys…..You Just showed the world WHY the REPUBLICAN SENATE Can NOT AGREE…. :) BOTH DEMOCRATS and INDEPENDENCE ARE ASKING FOR INVESTIGATIONS. CNN and MSNBC. Notice how ABC is Now supporting McClinton Davis?
