McCain Camp Accuses Obama of Cynical Attempt to Play Victim

Glad to finally see someone calling out BO for his shenanigans! Obama has been talking this BS for weeks, months even. It is pathetic!
Obama.
Is.
Desperate.
He.
Will.
Say.
Or.
Do.
ANYTHING.
Country First!
McCain-Palin ’08
Hillary ’12

Rumors about Obama’s being a Muslim first emerged after a Fox News report early last year said the first-term senator, who is a member of the United Church of Christ, had been educated at a radical Muslim school known as a madrassa.

Methinks thou doth protest too much, Mr. Davis. And, Mr. Davis, exactly WHO is the more cynical: the McCain campaign spreading these accusations and acting terribly offended when someone calls them out, or the Obama campaign which is making people aware of these underhanded, mudslinging tactics? Look in the mirror, Mr. Davis, and you’ll see your own worst enemy!

A McCain PAC actually did put out a Muslim smear ad a while back. What a unifier and maverick.
It seems McCain is willing to tear down everything good he ever stood for in order to win an election– even hire the guy that smeared his own daughter.
Really, truly sad.

Here are but a few samples of the cards
that McCain continues to play:
The POW card
The Gender card
The The POW card
The POW card
The POW card
The “maverick”
An agent of “change”
The FEAR CARD
The WAR Card
The Religion Card
And the my friend you can “relate” to
us card (code words for race card)

Republican hypocrisy continues to know no bounds.

Mr. Davis, an unregistered lobbyist, set up a meeting in Switzerland in 2006 between Mr. McCain and a Russian businessman, who has been barred from entering this country, apparently because of accusations about past ties to organized crime in Russia.

Obama is becoming really frightening. Thank goodness we are all seeing this now.
Dem for McCain/Palin

Change we will vote for -McCain-Palin

Obama: An empty suit being help upright only by a lot of hot air and BS.

McCain picking Palin has sent Obama and his MSM sychophants into a abyss of panic. Obama and Axelrod are clueless what to do. Obama is now stale moldy bread instead of the agent of change.

If McCain/Palin can blame Obama for the boggers criticizing Palin and her tabloid life, then Obama can cite the rampant muslim rumors which the neo-cons like to cite at every opportunity (and which have indeed crept into the MSM). Get real… all you hear on right-wing talk radio is POOR Sarah, everyones been so meeeean to her, why are they piling on??? As if she deserves a free ride to the white house. At least Obamas operating face to face with the media. Palin has been in a safe little passive -agressive bubble.

MCCain/Palin = empty suit/empty dress

I’m sick of hearing Obama talk down to people like they are stupid. No one believes him any more. He has done nothing for America.
I am so excited about Palin!!!
Democrat for Palin/McCain
Posted by: mikeWill | Sep 6, 2008 8:25:35 PM
First off you’re no Democrat, because Palin’s views are so opposite of a Democrat. Just say you’re a Republican voting for Palin, no need to lie.
Second, you do realize McCain is at the top of the ticket and would be running the country….

This from the campaign that whined about sexism and the big bad media last week.
This is laughable. This campaign is going to be the dirtiest we have ever seen, strap in. The republicans are running scared and are getting ready to slime the entire country.

Uhhh… you do realize the person running for President is McCain, right ?
Posted by: Chad | Sep 6, 2008 8:46:16 PM
The question is….does Obama know?

“First of all, there are NO dems for McCain.”

I guess someone forgot to tell Lieberman and the disaffected Hillary supporters like me that. Maybe if you treated people like us with respect and listened to our concerns then we would not have jumped the now sinking DNC ship. Gee 8 years of a terrible GOP president and you guys at the DNC still can’t manage to pull out an election.
Next time put your party before your Ipod.
Posted by: Samantha | Sep 6, 2008 8:54:49 PM
Oh, boohoo! As a McCain supporter you need to quit your whining already! Hillary LOST, get over it. I watched the whole thing, and Obama beat her by running a better campaign; quit being so bitter!
Now, I support McCain because of the issues he believes in. War, Pro-Life, etc.. I welcome the support, but I still don’t get how you can buck your party and all the issues it stands for just because you lost. Kind of funny actually…

Sarah Palin=Governor
Barack Obama=Soup Kitchen Community Organizer
Hmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Obama’s no victim– he has gone through a powerful gauntlet to get where he is now, and he has my vote and admiration.
McCain is sneaky– bringing in this unknown person 60 days away from teh elections who has to read from a piece of paper what she’s supposed to say– and all she’s done is make pit bull attacks, and not talk about issues.
I don’t care if McCain says he’s just having fun, or that he’s a maverick– I’m not looking for gamblers and game players..
I want someone focused on my needs as an American. Obama has answered questions I have, McCain has offered me snide remarks and guilt trips about his POW status.
8 years is enough.

I stand by Gallup my man.

Judging from the comments here, there just might be enough wackos to elect M<Cain. You will get what you deserve.

Surely this is a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. The Republicans have been playing their cynical games from day one, and are oh so quick to claim victim status when they think it will help them. We’ve had eight years of this garbage. That’s enough.

If you were blind to the Race and theatrics of the candidates, basing your decision on their ‘words’ how would you vote? How different are the speeches today than 4 years ago?

Bruno in Tx–
Nope, they are just desperate. Obama is ahead in all national polls and way ahead in state electoral predictions.
It’s going to be a landslide but we can’t get complacent, volunteer, donate, whatever we have to do to get Obama elected.

Some folks would vote for a money if it had a (R) by it’s name! If this country elects McCain and “Mrs. Teleprompter-Palin…they deserve everything they get. Let’s get serious this race is about who has the best plan for America. John McCain doesn’t—”Proof”- He couldn’t even come up with his own campaign them. Now he’s promoting “Change”.

It’s Barack “Who’s Sane” Obama

Jennifer:
I AM A LIFE LONG DEMOCRAT WHO HAS NEVER VOTED REPUBLICAN. I AM A DEMOCRAT VOTING FOR JOHN MCCAIN.

Obama is the one going up, up, up to the white house.
And to those of you that would call us obamabots, sorry that we care more about our rights and knowledge than letting your spaghetti monster tell us how to live our lives.
Free thinking before ideological mumbo jumbo.
Less crap, no lies, Obama is the future. Get out of the way or get ready to be steamed rolled over.

Throwing an American Flag in the garbage…
Is NOTHING compared with DISGRACING the American flag as the republicans have done in the past 8 years.

Sick of McCain’s tricks, sneaky nature and snide remarks.
Go Obama. I’m behind you.
I also liked that: Barack “who’s sane” Obama

Talk is Cheap
Fact 11 million more democratic voters, some areas 46 percent increase, so all that will matter is THE VOTE
So don’t forget mark you calender, talk to friends, remind them.
Why not give Obama a shot, hey the republican’s always at least in the last 40 years make it worst for the poor and middle class, the Democrates make it better for all, it has been a long study, so even if your Rebublican you still did better under a Democrats.
Just the “moral issues, but if you think about it, now we have very bad lack of morals on tv, and videio games, and such so actually for the last 8 years morals have been loosened.
Hey I am from a democratic family for generations, but I voted for Bush 1.
And a Desert Storm veteran.
And all else asside and all the bitter child like fighting, we as people can not do as we are doing.
It is really medical bills that are killing the economy, and franky immigration, but I have undocumented family members, and I understand them, but something has to be done.
Our payroll taxes are so huge.
Even if you dont like Obama, heck you can vote him out is 4 short years, that is what is great about voting.
I am not an Obama fan but I will vote for him, because frankly we all do better under democratic ran government.
Hey were I am at they took our guns, so maybe Obama will give them back.
And maybe there will really be change with the medical HMO and taxes.
The values stuff well really that is between you and yours, because if you find out your son is gay or your daughter then well you have to deal with it. Or if he gets in Jail, or if he doesn’t believe in GOD, it is family who really has to deal the government should not.
I grew out of wanting a political offical to “be like us” a long time ago, I just want to be able to take care of My Family. And if I can help others.
We all need to get off our soap boxes.
So today I checked my corn I grow in the alley, and squash and tomatoes, all which I give to the neighbors.
Next up beans, peas, and then winter foods.
Helping out gets your mind off all this and more focused on better things.
So just asked yourself what you want for your family, and Vote.
Peace, take care.

Free Thinker
I ask myself that question and the answer was ‘anybody but the lying two-faced bigot Obama’.

Obama lost me when he opened his big mouth time and again throwing sexist comments at Hillary Clinton and than claiming that her husband was a racist.”
Name a single comment by Obama that was sexist towards Hillary.
Show us where he ever called Bill a racist?
If not, you’re just another liar.

I voted for Bush TWICE. In 2000 I voted for him because I thought he was best qualified for the job. In 2004 I choose him because he was the best of two evils. I’m voting for Barack this year.
I’ve voted Republican all my life except in 1996, I voted for Bill Clinton. I volunteer for the Obama campaign in Virginia and I’ve never been this excited about a candidate since Reagan.
I know many others like myself. My family and friends ie. I’m still working on my father.

Ryan C.
I’ll name many.
He said, “I knew her claws would come out eventually.” In other words, all women cat fight. He said, “She is whining about my campaign fliers, I didn’t whine when her campaign released neg. fliers about me.” So, all women whine. He said, “She was acting like Annie oakley because she supported gun rights for hunters.” Any woman who asserts herself is a rough neck. Shall I continue you nit? I have plenty more. If you want to see more, let me know.

I can hardly wait for Obama’s video, you know, the one that contradicts everything he has said for the last six months. Guaranteed to make an __ out of all of his supporters!

Mary Anne, Annie Oakley was a boundary-breaking woman. She played with the boys and beat them at their own game. After that, she used her considerable fortune and influence to become a philanthropist for women’s suffragette movements.
So the reference to Annie Oakley, like most of the other supposedly “sexist” references, all depends on the eye of the beholder. Annie Oakley was the prominent markswoman of her age, and the most famous one I can think of. When talking about a woman shooting guns, who would you have had him mention?

Larry:
So proud of you! The Dem party called yesterday and asked my husband to volunteer and he really gave them the business. He said, “Obama said of the women voters who he alienated by insulting Hillary Clinton that “They’d get over it.” He said, “Well, I’m not a women and I’m not getting over it!” Way to go Larry! You made my day!

The headline of this blog indicates that McCain’s camp is crybabying about Obama being a crybaby. There all crybabies. Bring back Hillary please.

Grace,
I see you conveniently left out his reference to the “whining” and to the reference about “I knew her claws would come out.” So, those things were compliments? Oh, please, I’m not buying it and I’m voting for McCain. It is one thing for the GOP not to treat women completely fair, but when my own party, who I have been devoted to my entire life, turned a blind eye on this kind of behavior, I thought to myself, they don’t care about me any longer. So, please, it will not change my mind. And, the tone of voice he used about Annie Oakley was not as a compliment. he meant it in a negative fashion. You need to review that comment he made. It was not meant as a compliment to her.

“Obama was too foxy to come right out and say Bill Clinton was a racist.”
IOW you lied.

Sorry Rodney, which comment were you referring to? I thought you meant my most recent comment about the flag.

Mary Anne–
I need to understand, so I ask, respectfully, what are your political issues—
why were you supporting Hillary? Can you explain to me, another democrat, why you would help hand over the white house to a party whose views are v. different from the party you supported for so long?
When all is said and done, and say, if McCain was voted in, is he truly the leader you wanted?
If he is, then more power to you, but you should have just turned tail registered as a republican a long time ago.
Et tu, Brute?

The race is already over. You know it. The only thing left is the crying and we’re already hearing that. The Democrats will have to wait for four more years until the baby boom generation IS the retirement generation, then we’ll be able to install a real Democrat with much greater ease. The feel good Democrats come and go and every once in awhile we come back to earth and put up a viable candidate like Bill Clinton. Not this time though.

I for one can tell you the Republican party isn’t united either. If you knew how much Ron Paul supporters and conservative independents we register weekly in VA you’d be surprised.
Obama has a serious chance of winning Virginia. Last month alone we registered 42,000+ Virginians.

Mediawatch,
I know.
And my name is actually Ryan C. I made a typo

Calm down everybody- McCain’s a POW- he can do and say whatever he wants!

I don’t have a thin skin, and I don’t expect men to police their words around me — I zing them back. So unless there’s a CLEAR and obvious sign of sexism, then I feel girls should just hit back.
Hear, hear Grace!

Calm down everybody. McCain is a POW so he can do or say whatever he wants or feels like.

I thought it was Sarah who made the whining accusation.

Awwww someone is jealous of Obama’s over 2 million donors, 50% of which have given less than $200.
It makes right wingers afraid to see a real grassroots network vs their bs astroturf.
Polls had Hillary and Obama close too. And even though she had every built in advantage in terms of party support and long time associations with big time fundraisiers Obama beat her. He beat her by being more organized on the ground and having a much wider fundraising net. He beat her by skillfully using both the web and web 2.0.
He now has more offices in red states than McCain does with an army of volunteers. His GOTV apparatus is absolutely massive while McCain will be dependent upon the state parties.
All the GOP has is slime. And this time slime will not win.
Go Obama!

And, honestly compare the accomplishments, since you insist on making the comparison between the two.
Palin doesn’t have the education, nor the knowledge, nor the experience to be Vice President. And I’ll keep shouting the truth. No doubt about it.

The only comparisons that should be made are Palin to Biden.
Obama is running against McCain. The comparisons with them are based on issues and both have their strengths and weaknesses.
I request all democrats refuse to indulge the trolls in trying to compare Obama to Palin, whom he is NOT running against.
Palin is second on the ticket and John McCain will live to be 100, i.e., she will never be president and so we do not need to indulge in their little game.

McCain is getting a free ride from the media. He always has been overly friendly with the press. Some even call him “Mac.” I recall McCain has repeatedly promised that he would take the high road during this campaign, but he has repeatedly taken the low road, nasty personal attacks and falsehoods. McCain is the one who constantly plays the victim by constantly referring to his POW days. He is milking it for all it is worth. I think it is ridiculous that a 72 year old senior is running for the presidency. During this campaign he has had many senior moments, forgetfulness, etc. If he is elected, just imagine that his shaky 72 year old finger will be on the nuclear switch. That’s scary!

bc46, why do you say that was put to rest? There is an ongoing case.

Obama claims to be one of change but has never authorized legislation for *change*.
Why not?
He use to claim that he wanted to *change* the education system by allowing school vouchers – then he *changed* his mind because of the corrupt unions were giving him money. He took the money and gave them change. He changed to “I promise never to do that.”
Initially he said that it would be wrong to retroactively let a business off the hook even before a case went to trial. After the phone companies supported him *”cha ching”* he gave them *change* too – by voting to making illegal activities that happened in the past now “legal to do in the past”. It was absolutely astounding.
.
Yes, Obama is a man of change . . . cha ching.
.
Yes, Obama is a better speaker but Obama has AUTHORED NOTHING but *change* as a slogan.
.
.
McCain has been a thorn in the side of the Republican party because he has a sense of right and wrong and worked with “independent” Democrats to get things done.
Obama has folded into party lines. He was the one I supported because of his views. But after Obama changed his mind I changed my support. Over the past few months Obama has shown himself to be a follower. Oh, often Obama would not even vote on an issue – except for voting “present”. What kind of ability to decide is that?
Sure McCain voted 90% of the time along his own party lines.
10% of the times he voted AGAINST party lines.
You think that is bad???
Obama voted 95% of the time along party lines!
The other 5% HE (essentially) DIDN’T VOTE!
That’s an example of the pot calling the kettle black.
If Obama wanted to be seen as a maverick, an agent of change, someone who is independent of party positions – he is missing the minimum target by 6%.
Obama took the “change” slogan from Hillary who took it from Bush when he ousted the other Clinton. Give me a break! Who ever is NOT in office uses it as their slogan. That is the way it has been and will be.
But again, look at the stats: 90% vs 95% – McCain has Obama beat.

Yeah the “their going to try to scare people about me” line is really getting tired. It’s a standard ploy of Obama’s to accuse anyone who criticizes him of racism. Yawn! The victim card is getting very tired.

obama’s mother is a u.s. citizen. nothing more is required for proof of citizenship.

lol s.b. Its true, they’re doing it every day. You guys are getting tired of Obama defending himself and fighting back.
If you expect us to give up, you are delusional.
This woman doesn’t know what the vp does every day. She doesn’t belong in office if she has to ask the question.

Governor=Accomplishment
Soup Kitchen Orgainizer=Hmmmmmmm
LOOKS LIKE THE WHEELS BE COMMIN OFF BARACK’S ESCALADE!!!!!

Obama is always whining.
Enough whining Obama.
Start acting like a man.
This Bambi wants to be CIC and talk with people like Putin.
This guy is a joke.

Polls of Hillary supporters refusing to vote for Obama were holding steady up the to convention. I haven’t seen a good poll since, but the Obama/DNC handling of the convention has made them more enemies.
Another thing that’s confusing the polls is that a lot of HIllary people LEFT the Democratic party this summer, and more after the convention. Keep on this way, and sooner or later I suppose it would be down to Obama supporters and no one else.
In June and July it was about 9 million Hil’s rejecting Obama. In late Aug several polls mentioned that their figures were holding steady.
PUMA!

Mary
I think the Obama folks are the ones that are brainwashing people! McCain folks are just pointing out the truth. The Obama mania is so sickening that I and millions of others are leaving the Democrat Party and are actively working against Obama. All his speeches are about are how people are trying to do this and that against him. He is trying to play the victim, race card and every other card he can play. We want a man in the WhiteHouse not a whining baby! Fortunately there are enough non koolaid drinkers to tell Obama goodbye in November.

It’s the McCain camp that’s been playing the victim card. He’s sunk so low, he’s not the man he was eight years ago when the current Bush smeared him in a way designed to enflame racists. It’s most telling that McCain has hired him – and his campaign has pointedly told the american people this election won’t be over the issues, it will be personality.
Me and my friends aren’t playing that game.
I don’t think McCain has what it takes to be President, for crying out loud he knows nothing about the internet and new technology.

Rick Davis, Sen. John McCain’s campaign manager, who said issues don’t count!
Go ask the voters Rick about rising cost of food at the store, about the price at the gas pump, the list goes on…
What concerns the voters is that your VP isn’t ready and Schmidt has to train her before she is comfortable to met the press and I bet it won’t be the mainstream press! Just the conservative
press.
So now you guys are trying to distract with this story? A Republican VP who can’t talk to the media right through Nov 4th. But she can attack and steal the headlines for the next 8 weeks.
Right now she will only talk to the conservative voters which leaves out all the rest of America. And this will give her the right to hog the headlines with Schmit’s poll driven attack ads? I hope the media and the majority of Americans see through your ploy!

Hillary’s hero was RFK and she was mentioning how late the primaries went when he was killed in june. Obama smeared her with that.
Hillary said it took LBJ to get the civil rights legislation done and Obama used that to make her out to be a racist.
Obama campaign put out a 4 page document accusing Bill Clinton of being a racist.
When will Obama stop making these allegations against good people and destroying their reputations.
Obama should apologize to Bill Clinton.
Obama enough already stop your allegations.

Listen McCain, its’ the economy stupid. you republicans have bent over backwards for corporate america always telling us to be patient, wait for the trickle down.
Well damn it, that was just a crock so we’ve had it and we are voting in change, OBAMA!

Obama has really lost his mojo.
Once again creating fictitious and hypothetical opponents against which to fight? Is he serious?
I think this comes down to Obama’s ego. He refuses to believe that someone couldn’t like him or vote for him, so he has to construct these arguments for himself that the reason they don’t like him are things like race or religion.
Not every loves Barack, and the sooner he realizes that the better.

ja, this has nothing to do with Obama or his ego, this is about us. And we will do our best to make sure he gets elected. I’m sorry that bothers you so much. We’re tired of watching the people of this country lose everything they have, while these corporate CEOs line their pockets.

I wonder if Obama see’s dead people?

One of the most interesting quirks about polling, is that most of it is done to random voters “home” phone numbers. The Obama volunteer base has done an amazing job of galvanizing young voters and registering first time voters in huge numbers. I think it is fair to say that most young adults age 18-25 do not have home phones, only cell phones. This is a large voting contingent that is not being polled and they are strongly leaning Obama. This will be the year the young adult vote will really make a difference and be heard.

Vanessa, when Obama was running against Hillary (The Obama camp called Hillary every disgusting sexist name in the book- what do you say to that. Of course the Mccain people are being watchful they have every right to.
That is why so many of Hillary Clinton people will vote for McCain and Palin, And please don’t give me a sermon of how if your a Hillary Clinton supporter you can’t vote for Sarah Palin- Just watch…

This is the second time the McCain campaign has accused Obama of playing the race card. Are they trying to make it look like Obama is running for President just because of his race? And he has gotten where he is just because of race? Why do they feel so threatened that they have to continually bring it up? Yet McCain chose Palin just because she is a woman to outdo the Democrat’s history-making candidate. PPllease! I hope everyone can see through their smoke screen.

I haven’t heard McCain say any thing suggesting Obama is Muslim, but I know a lot of Americans who think he is. It is kind of strange Obama has to refute a lie before the lie is made.

Connie, you can expect to see a lot of accusations against Senator Obama. The repubs will come up with more lies and distortions. Its called desperation, just like the Palin pick was a sign of desperation to get the womens vote.
They will continue to put up a smoke screen, thats the only way they win.
Lies and innuendo is all they have. No plans, no solutions for the current problems. They just count on voters being ignorant.

Factcheck,
I have no doubts that Palin is the sort of individual who would say such things but without proof you just can’t accuse her.
In other rumor news, I think it was a bad idea for the McCain campaign to pick a fight with the National Enquirer.

All of you Obama people stop preaching and telling us we can’t vote for McCain/Palin if we supported Hillary Clinton- You know what wait and see.
I would rather have McCain who loves his country than someone who cries Racism every time someone disagrees- Obama’s arrogance and immaturity is what caused such a terrible divide in this country. He could have put Hillary on the ticket but he didn’t want to share the lime light- Tooooo Bad jerk.

Yes, Westmoreland, a Republican congressional member from Georgia, calls Obama “uppity.”
While Harry Reid, the Democratic U.S. Senate Majority “Leader,” calls Palin “shrill.”
Let me see on which end that one balances on my scales.

McCain: Misleader-in-Chief
The McCain campaign stole American flags from the Obama campaign and then tried to claim they were thrown out. Stop lying John McCain.
McCain is more of the same.

All of you Obama people stop preaching and telling us we can’t vote for McCain/Palin if we supported Hillary Clinton- You know what wait and see.

There you go spreading smears implying Obama doesn’t love our Country… Find something new, it’s old.

Lee, Reid called Palin’s *political attacks* shrill and sarcastic.
There’s a difference.

####
Why would America -REWARD- complete Republican failure ?
We wont.
####

It’s over for the King Obama- He’s a loser and all because he was to immature, and to arrogant to even consider Hillary Clinton and her 18 million voices. He didn’t care about her or any of us so why should we vote for him? I’m not.

Rick Davis, Mr. arrogant, Karl Rove clone, who told the press he doesn’t feel the need to have Palin do interviews, if it doesn’t suit McCain’s campaign needs. Why would anyone listen to anything he says, unless you want to buy the swamp land.

Maybe Phil Gramm was right. Reading this, we’ve truly become a nation of whiners. I wish everyone would just shut up, look at the issues that are important to them and vote accordingly. The finger pointing, name calling and hysterics are not meant to convince others so much as to prove the poster is right and everyone else is wrong. That’s all I have to say. Good night.

The “Palin” buzz is played to change mccain’s image from a boring old man who’s been pushing his resume since 8 years now to be president….Palin is a nice woman, but he’s using her like a tool to reach what he couldn’t do on his own. This is what sexist is, I’d say…It’s so sad to see what people can do or say to reach what they want even at this old age. I am not the only one who can see, the whole country see … obama is winning with land-slide.

Why is no one talking about the fact that Sarah Palin is a member of a crazy church (Assembly of God) that believes we are living in the “end times?” They believe this is a good thing–the world ending soon–they want it to happen as soon as possible, and that Alaska will be one of the places that is “saved.” Palin said the war in Iraq is a mission from God and her “lipstick” joke came from a book by John Hagee, who has had a strong influence on her church. Hagee has said it would be good if the east coast of the US were bombed. Do you really want this woman to be a heartbeat from the presidency?
This is no joke. She is an extremely dangerous woman.

Where do you live in a city or the country? McCain is for “country first..yehaww..”
what a joke

Barack “Who’s Sane” Obama!

McCain and his intellectual partner will try to promote change. They will complete the change from democracy to theocracy, they will complete the change of the supreme court being a separate branch of government to being an arm of the presidency, they will encourage more and greater climate change, and of course change the Constitution to eliminate some of those pesky “rights” restrictions. Oh, they’ll be agents of change alright. But, I don’t think this is the change the middle class is anticipating. But maybe it’s what they deserve if they vote for them.

Obama voted along the do nothing most unpopular Democratic controlled Senate 97% of the time and then picks Biden as his running mate. Give me a break. If Obama is change then Hillary Clinton is a supermodel. Not.
Trying to tie McCain to George Bush is a bunch of fluff. Everyone knows that McCain is his own man. Democrats are really reaching and wasting everyone’s time to try to convince people that McCain represents the Bush era. Bush never would have taken on his own party and even rebuke them at the National Convention. It takes a big man to stand up to his own party. Vote McCain/Palin if you have a brain.

PUMA’s have all but guaranteed that Obama will not be elected. Now that is a movement you can believe in.

________________________________________
1. I think Palin can hold her own and is definitely not being used.
2. Again Obamabots can stop it with the ageism and are alienating voters over 50. I am in my 30′s so it does not offend me but you guys obviously know nothing about reaching out to the older senior crowd. You put down McCains POW experiences which puts off a lot of VETs. Inclusion goes beyond race.

to compare palin to obama is absurd
————————-
You are absolutely right. Obama is an arrogant empty suit and Palin is a liberals nightmare – more likable, eloquent, beautiful, and actually accomplished things in her life. Obama has ridden off the backs of ignorant people like you his entire life. His only claim to fame has come from his flattery and deceiving people into voting for him so he can write about how great he is. I can’t believe people can not see the arrogance of this man. Palin said it best, “Some people use change to promote their careers and others like John McCain use their careers to promote change.”

Get a clue. Palin has more executive experience then Obama has. And she’s not the first name on the ticket! She was mayor, and a governor! A governor that dealt with over 11 billion in tax payer dollars. So she doesn’t have foreign policy experience. Neither does Obama and I repeat, he’s running for PRESIDENT. Mccain has more then enough to compensate for Palin’s lack. Obama has NO credentials. He is a senator, that can’t claim credit for any significant laws, and voted Present more often then voicing an opinion. He taught constitutional law, but no student have come forward to pay him compliments. He was a community organizer, and his own boss said he didn’t accomplish anything, but was well liked in the community.
And for those who say that Mccain is another Bush are just uneducated. Did you pay attention to the press conservative radio gave him???? They HATE HIM. And are only supporting him because they dislike Obama so much! Mccain has a long history of pissing the republican party off, and at one point even considered leaving the party to be an independent. The only thing Bush and Mccain have in common is that they agree the Iraq war needs to be won, and not abandoned and left to Iran.
Vote Mccain/Palin!!!

McCain isn’t much of a straight talker anymore.

The media and Obama will be the biggest losers of this election.

I see the Republicans still not talking about the issues. Instead of talking about Obama start talking about the economy.
Obama/Bidem

I am offended that Obama is offended by the fact McCain is offended….wait a minute I’m not sure about the order of that, oh well. Did you hear, Hillary really laid into Gov. Palin today…..he he just kidding, she campaigned for other democrats that she supports, such a smart lady, I just love her! She really like to help out Obama but her schedule is just packed for the next couple months. I kinda of like Gov. Palin and I can live with McCain for 4 years.

It looks like Mr. Davis is desperately trying to change the subject. Gov. Palin lied about the bridge to nowhere and her opposition to pork. Gov. Palin is under investigation for abuse of power and has already been caught lying to the public about the matter. Gov. Palin left the town of Wasilla swimming in debt to the tune of $3000 per resident ($19 million). Davis is trying to hide the fact that Gov. Palin appears to be incapable of fielding questions on foreign and domestic policies, or about why she is so frantically trying to spike the bipartisan investigation of her abuse of power. Why is Sarah Palin afraid to speak to the press? Could it be she is afraid of being exposed as unready to fill the role of VP?

how about the repub bottom dweller who called the obama’s ‘uppity’
and claimed he did not know what it meant…and he was born in 1950 in the south (georgia)!
these guys can’t open their mouth without racisim and/or a lie…this guy did both

Marty- how do the democrats fight dirty when Palin got off and running by spending her entire RNC speech bashing Barack? If what you are saying is true- your folks should not start something they can’t finish. Plus the republicans lie so much that most of the fact checking that was done after the conventions was based on the repubs statement, most of it was lies.

RepublicansareHypocrites:
Oh, please.
As a Democrat who voted for Hillary, do you know how many of those cry-baby emails I receive from Obama, his wife, Howard Dean, and now Biden??
At least two or three DAILY.
All they do is cry and WHINE about John McCain and the other Republicans, and what they’re all saying about poor Obama.
So please don’t expect any special consideration because the McCain camp is truthfully contacting people about the shameful way the MSM has been treating Sarah Palin.

Everytime Obama is down in the polls he cries racism. He even had the nerve to do it to a former, and Democratic, President. Obama is ridiculous……

Country First!
This expression has an extra vowel.
42

Republicans have officaly become the party of whinners.

Barack hammers McCain; McCain hammers Barack. It’s the same old politics as usual from hypocrites who are trying to run on a platform of bipartisanship.
I’m not going to defend Phil Gramm, but when you use that quote, you’re using it out of context. He was referring more to the whining politicians in Washington than John Q Public.

Sarah,
Barack has not cried racism, he as been victimized with very nasty emails circulating, I will send it to you if you like because I am sure I have another one in my inbox. By the way have you ever been called anything negative in regards to your race? Dont EVER tell someone that is being treated that way that they are crying racism. People acting like that are racist. Do you know how many people are not voting on him strictly because of race? Quite a few, ask the folks in W VA, Kentucy and Alabama. Be grateful that you can say someone is “crying racism” if it has’nt happened to you, because it is a way of life for some.

One good thing is Americans are starting to pay attention to what’s happening on the playing field instead of the sidelines. Truth is Barak does not have any executive experience. Sarah Palin does … but she is just running for VP where she will be on the “sidelines” and Barak is running for pres where he will have to make decisions, something he has shown to shy away from in both public offices he has held.
Barak will not change anything. If anything he will make things worse. At the same time I can’t see McCain being a great president. So what’s an American to do when those who hold the power (Both Parties) do not serve the needs and wants of the people. There is an answer to that if you think about it.

Starting to look like Palin could be the Democrats’ best weapon in the campaign.

I do dislike a man that sold his country out, and now rides on his ‘hero status’
———————–
Dude, are you writing your emails from a cave in Afghanistan? You certainly can’t be American if you are saying McCain sold his country out becuase he was a POW for 5 long years. You just help our cause by writing like a lunatic. People who love our country will stand up and vote for an American hero.

Obama is scared – he is calling Hillary Clinton for help and portraying himself once again as a victim. Give me a break!

Since folks on the right have had a difficult time just refraining from highlighting Obama’s name, I’d say Obama’s claims are accurate.

Dems need to get over the Bush thing. He’s not running for office. You are living in the past. Comparing McCain to Bush.If that is true then it’s the same as comparing Obama to Jesse Jackson and Rev Sharpton. You have been so blinded by Obama’s hate you can no longer see anything but hate and cannot be objective for the country. Obama NEEDS the country to go bad, he needs people to suffer, he needs to housing to fail he needs all of these bad things to happen. He plays on it, he HOPES for it, otherwise no one would have considered him for anything, let alone a Dem nominee.
Do you really thing Bush is the cause of housing failures, high gas prices? Ut is the free enterprise system that is the cause. Yes, CONGRESS who has done nothing, should step in and look at the mortgage companies, the credit companies and should have 2-3 years ago when people began complaining. But the DEMOCRAT controlled houses were too busy whining about how they can’t do anything. They won’t do anything, even if the President was a Dem. They are too busy doing the old Washington politics. Pelosi, Biden, Kennedy, Clinton, Kerry etc. Obama has no change. He took up with the very thing he has said he won’t and has done the things he said he wouldn’t (lobby money, big oil money.) Obama has led the Dem Party down the road of hate.

mccain is a no good man, driven by ego
——————–
If that is not the pot calling the kettle black I don’t know what is. Ego is when you write two memoirs as a public official without writing not one piece of legislation or law. Ego is when you can’t admit you were wrong when the surge in Iraq worked. Ego is making your own Presidential seal. Ego is stating your qualified to be President because you are running for President. OBAMA = EGO

The next time you pass a homeless person on the street. Thank the community organizer you decides to organized the soup kitchen to feed that person.
McCain shouldn’t be elected because of his service, he should be elected becuase of the issues
Obama/Biden.

Jason,
Shelly (I) did not say that!!! Do me a favor and learn how to read the blogs before you call out a name and try to comment on them!!

TLZ
When your out of a job and you need to retrain. Don’t come running to those Community Organizers.

Incredibly shrill hysterical cynicism from the Repubs, as usual. McCain proves that his soul and his integrity are long gone.
Like his weepy story about how the VC broke him, and then his buddy told him, “it’s ok, you tried your best.”
Karl Rove broke him again, only this time it’s not ok – there’s too much at stake in America today.
Republicans don’t care at all about America. Not one bit. Criminals.

neville
you just disprove McCain’s argument that they are not saying Obama has muslim connections. The fact that you even think he does merits a a response.

TLZ
Stop being narrow minded and insulting Community Organizers. They work with government, churches, religious groups, and non-profit organizations to serve our country. They are the ones doing the dirty work, not those that just foot the bill.

tlz,
He did it in the south side of Chicago, trying to help the impoverished out of their situation. Did you know he had a Harvard Law Degree at the time and could have pretty much took the money and ran, but instead chose to help the less fortunate. Typical, you guys just love to hear all BS about Obama, but don’t really want to see him for what he is.

Good point – so much for Obama the Savior!
————-
By the way…How would you describe life and circumstances on the South Side of Chicago these days ..considering all the work Obama did there?

Samantha
Obviously your not from Chicago. The south side is not as nearly as bad as it was in the 90s. Multiply what we have now by 3 times. Now there tearing down the projects, cleaning up the streets. My father is a cop and he knows that it is a lot safer then it use to be. But I guess Republicans don’t care about facts.

Yes Libertarian because the republican economy plan is working so well right now. (PLEASE) Like I said before, I bet you will be the first to benefit from it. Yes and I suppose you studied Economics in college right?

TLZ
McCain lifetime of experience.
Spent 26 years out of the 30 years where congress caved to lobbyist and didn’t fix the energy crisis. Graduated 5th from bottom of his class. Crashed 5 military fighter planes, confused sunnis and shiites, call divorced his wife after returning from POW, Iraq, 90% Bush, Worst voting Attendance, etc.

I love those “Country First” and “Service” slogans they had at the Repub Convention. Empty, meaningless slogans that exploit patriotism and the troops. Both parties are patriotic. Both parties support the troops. Trying to act like one party cares more is ridiculous and childish; it’s just a desperate way to try to get votes.
Obama’s speech at the Dem’s convention, surprisingly, was actually very issue-oriented. McCain relied on his POW experience and had less of anything relevant. And he lies about Obama raising taxes. He -is- raising taxes, but only for people with 200k+ incomes. Middle class people will actually see *more* return on their income–less tax.
Yep. Don’t believe the lies. For Middle Class America, Obama is the way to go. If you’re saving up for your third yacht, then you should probably go with McCain.

“Starting to look like Palin could be the Democrats’ best weapon in the campaign.”- Data

Or the worst NIGHTMARE.
McCain/Palin 08

Everyone ignores the fact that the former Vice Presidential Democrat candidate spoke on his behalf. That is historic and was totally ignored. Of course McCain appeals to members of both parties. His record shows it. Look it up.
—————————–
I’m wondering how McCain will manage to “reach across the aisle” to accomplish change, when he has alienated both sides.

Hillary lost.
She lost on votes.
She lost on pledged delegates.
She lost on Super delegates.
She lost because they screwed around in Iowa and then had to blow an enormous amount of her money to play catchup. By the time SuperTuesday rolled around she went in with half of what they expoeted to have in her warchest. Obama killed her some SupTues states because she had zero prescence.
The DNC did nothing to her, Dean remained neutral throughout.
She fought a touhg battle but ultimately came up short. She has been magnaimous and supportive of Obama since
I know. I was a HIllary supporter. I volunteered.

Crime is directly related to where people live and whether or not they work. The fact is that the Welfare Reform Act caused people to work and changed neighborhoods. People became more responsible and with responsibility crime decreases. Those neighborhoods would not have changed if it were not for the Welfare Reform Act because there would have been no incentive to change them. I grew up in the Washington DC area in the projects and have seen the change their over the past 15 years. It has been remarkable.
Mayor Daley is the reason why crime is low. Look it up, the added affect is that he is a Democrat and possible the most powerful mayor in the country.

MM … Obama did not get Lieberman re-elected … Lieberman was defeated by the Democratic liberal … and ran as an independent … and no Democrats endorsed him … not even your swami obami!!
McCain was a better friend to Lieberman than any of the Democrats.

He is not raising taxes for Everyone, anyway- how do you propose paying for all of this debt on this god awful war. 250 million a day. Nobody wants to pay taxes but they want to go to war.

MM
You are correct about al queda flooding into Iraq after we removed Saddam..
And we have kicked their butts and stand on the verge of victory in Iraq over those radical islamic militants..
This was done DISPITE the constant attempt to undermine our victory by Obama and the Democrat party …
Obama and Biden BOTH opposed the surge.
Obama voted to NOT FUND OUR TROOPS
and you call that “patriotic”

Well, Senator Inhofe just said of Obama “Do you really want to have a guy as commander in chief of this country when you can question whether or not he really loves his country?”
Add this to the Republican Congressman calling Barack and Michelle Obama “uppity” a few days ago, along with many other slurs both blatant and under the table (emails, Sean Hannity screeds, etc)
Republicans ARE blatantly questioning Obama’s patriotism and American-ness. So, yes, I’d say he IS a “victim” of some pretty scurrilous attacks. And now it’s Obama’s fault that he’s being attacked in this way? Interesting.

Obama was running a campaign because he was to advance his career to prove that Black Liberation Theology works. Black Liberation Theology is socialist propaganda suited to a particular race. He has capitalized on it beautifully suckering ignorant Americans to buy into his load of crap and buy his propaganda books. The Audacity of Hope is the title of a sermon by his infamous Black Liberation Theology pastor.
————————-
Obama was running a campaign to change Washington to lift these kids out of poverty to get them off the streets.

Who cares about wit, when people are losing their homes, or jobs. Get real.
——————
How many people do you personally know losing their jobs and homes? Don’t believe the hype. The economy grew at 3.3% last quarter. The glass is half full and the sky is not falling.

Black Liberation Theology is not theology at all. The only way it works is to promote socialism.
Do you even know what theology means? It is the Study of God! The only freedom one should talk about when it comes to theology is spiritual freedom. Not black power or freedom from earthly oppression. Things on this earth are nothing compared to eternity.

Yeah Liberatarian but as soon as you talk about cutting bases (even ones not in war zones), the repubs lose their minds and start saying the people don’t care about the soldiers or the safety of our country.

Jo,
If I had a billion dollars, I would have worked hard for that money. It would be mine to do with what I wish. Why should it be taken by force and given to people that have not shown the same level of determination and ingenuity? Why should the government punish the successful and reward the less successful? Don’t we want more success in our country. It sounds to me like you should move to France where your Socialistic views have been manifested into double digit unemployment and a middle class standard of living akin to that of our poor.
Yes, trickle down economics works! It has kept this country as the number one economic power house for the past 30+ years.

Shelly,
Indeed, military is big business. Too many lobbiest working on the behalf of contractors have their noses in legislation. This is why the Dems and GOP cannot and will not solve the problems of our country be they economic, social, military, or other.
We need a viable 3rd party desperatly, but both sides of the asile are deathly afraid of loosing their phoney-baloney jobs.

Man, I had a lot of typos in that last post. It is getting late and I am getting tired. Sorry about that. Going to bed. Good night all!

Good night sheep. Rest well and vote for your respective parties. This will gurantee more of the same no matter who is elected. I have my exit stragey. In ten years I will retire in Costa Rica while my beloved country is brought to ruin by either the Democrats, Republicans, or, most likely, both.

“Or the worst NIGHTMARE.
McCain/Palin 08″
America’s worst nightmare, to be precise.

Samantha
You are beyond reach. If I were to prove to you that McCain was the devil you’d still vote for him. Throughout this blog you insulted me, my father, the city of chicago police departments, and church community organizers. Obama passed death penalty reform, racial profiling reform, legislation on rape and other hot topics but you don’t care to look at the record. You just want to throw cheap shots and vote for McCain.

Again, the Republicans talk about non-issues. Why don’t they talk about McCain’s insider influence in bailing out Keating’s Saving and Loan bank? And about how that event is similiar to todays financial mess as he speaks about bailing out the less-than-ethical Freddie Mac-Fannie Mae banking entity at the expense of me and the rest of the American taxpayers. Not for a second do I believe that he is a newly-minted reformer but just the opposite as a Washington political insider.

TLZ
There is one Catholicism, with different orders. Their are different types of Christianity eg. protestants, Eastern Orthodox. But Catholicism is the patriarch and the Jesuits are the knowledge bearers of the Catholic faith. It starting to sound like I know more about this Christianity stuff then you and I’m a Lutheran.

RNC, Schmidt(Rove), GOP,
Your true colors were shown to the world when you all steped up to the podium for your turn at bat for Obama bashing.
And you are continuing to do it here:(
Eight is enough!

MCCAIN AND PALIN WILL WIN THIS ELECTION

Republicans = Brick Wall
They say insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Don’t shout at brick walls and think they will fall.
Obama08

I have to say I have been impressed with Barack Obama since 2004 when I saw him speak. I told my husband back then, this is a guy we should hope one day would be our president!. My husband, a republican, watched and read a learned, and now is an avid Obama supporter, I have voted twice in my life for McCain, for Senator, that was a different McCain, I hope that Washington wont do the same to Barack as it did McCain.
Obama/ Biden ‘ 08

Who would you want to run your country, two individuals who act like they are a comedy act of someone who barely made it through college or two individuals who both teach constitutional law and graduated at the top of their class? When was the last time they actually talked about real issues instead of having the nitwit Palin made snide remarks about Obama. ONE THING IS CERTAIN, the problems we have tomorrow will not be the same as today and we need people who have the intelligence to learn new things. We don’t need a dog and pony show of McCain and Palin. There style of campaigning is an embarrassment to anyone’s intelligence. If Palin doesn’t have anything to hide, why won’t they let her be interviewed?

Obama sucks. He just hates women and can’t stand to see a woman get ahead. He’s just trying to keep women down. When Palin is President, she will help women by…….??? Hmmmm I’m can’t think of one thing she will do for women, but I’m sure she will do something. Women will suffer under Obama. Suffer miserably. He will outlaw everything, probably ban abortion or something. Probably make us not use any form of birth control, so we have 5 or 6 kids and so our kids have kids when they are kids. Go Palin, you are the savior of women. Women rule!! We are prettier, smarter, and tougher. We will fight these wars!!! Are gender founded this country. Not men. The history books were all written by men. I’ll bet you didn’t know that 90% of the soldiers that fought for our independence were women. Go Palin in 08!

How can Obama promise change?
Has he tried to reform Chicago Politics away from the powerful DALEY POLITICAL MACHINE to more honest government?
Obama’s first political fundraiser was at the house of a founder of the Weather Underground — a group that credit for a number of bombings against police, government buildings and the military.
Then there is ACORN — a group that has made news for corruption for being involved in schemes for illegal voter registrations.
It is clear that Obama freely associates with those who break the law, and yet he is supposed to be the MESSIAH for America?
If he had worked to reform the DALEY MACHINE, then yes, I might believe him to be a person of positive change.
If he had opposed and denounced the work of Bill Ayers in the Weather Underground, then I might believe him to be a person of positive change.
Finally, as a COMMUNITY ACTIVIST, how has he tried to get ACORN to become a more HONEST organization…
It appears there is a trail of dishonesty and fraud around Obama.
But this is not change — This is old Chicago and Washington Politics.

The funny thing is when someone label you as “racist” then all arguments are stopped. That is what Obama tries to do so that no one can attack him. What the poor guy! Did any one of his opponents say he is Muslim? I didn’t hear. He labels it so no one can attack his personality.

MM:”Sorry, but we the people elected Daley.”
I guess that means you are extremely happy with the 126 murders so far this summer in you wonderful Chicago.

“Did any one of his opponents say he is Muslim? I didn’t hear”
FoxNews first reported the lie in Feb of 2007.
CINCINNATI, Ohio—A conservative radio talk show host who helped introduce Senator John McCain before a rally here Tuesday used Senator Barack Obama’s middle name, Hussein, three times, while disparaging him, prompting Mr. McCain to apologize and repudiate the comments afterward.
Bill Cunningham, who hosts “The Big Show” with Bill Cunningham, a local program here that is also syndicated nationally, was part of a line of people lauding Mr. McCain and revving up the crowd before his appearance here before several hundred people at a theater here.
He lambasted the national media, drawing cheers from the audience, for being soft in their coverage of Mr. Obama compared to the Republican candidates, declaring they should “peel the bark off Barack Hussein Obama.”
Afterward, however, Mr. McCain held a scheduled news conference and immediately addressed the comments, evidently informed by his aides about what had happened.
The right wing passes it around constantly thru comments and blogs.

Samantha
I wasn’t voting age when Blagovich ran. (I always mispell his name). But the alternative guess what worked for Governor Ryan.

Christie
Hillary talked down to Obama too. “Shame on you Barack Obama.” There were insult on both sides. It’s over and let the healing begin. You would want the same if it were reverse.

I love factcheck It keeps me honest.

The lead that Obama is commanding has shrinked further …
The latest Gallup puts Obama at 47% (down 1%) and McCain at 45%. This is NOT taking into consideration the full comvention bounce for McCain/Palin.
The race is now officially TOO CLOSE TO CALL.

McCain is hilarious, last week they say that Obama and the media are being sexist and now they tryu and say Obama is playing the victim card, lol, pot meet kettle

Honey, I shrunk the lead
The race is determine state by state. If the trends keeps up McCain will still lose.

Russia has nuclear bombs, so does pakistan but Iran
Then why not attaack Russia and Paksitan , instead of Iraq etc…it seems that We’re only targetting countries who cannot challenge us but never the ones who really manipulate!!!
Now i see that Rice is talking to Lybia which i thought was a terrorist country…so was Obama right???!!!????
same thing about Iran
The surge is working: have we found any WMD???????and why did we invade Iraq for EXACTLY!!!I know that God sent us there
according to PALIN but why did we go there SERIOUSLY?????

Time for a Midol…. for Obama.
He’s been complaining ever since the RNC Convention. The DNC speakers trash McCain, but when the RNC does it – cry Foul!
Obama attacks McCain by name over a dozen times during his acceptance speech, then when McCain mentions him 5 times – he says it’s unfair.
If people call him inexperienced, it’s racism. If they say he is all rhetoric with no substance, then it must be a smear.
Time to take a calgon bath Sen. Obama – either that or start acting like a presidential nominee and not a wounded schoolgirl whose being teased.
During the primaries, a union boss said that Hillary had more “testicular fortitude” than her rival… he may have been right. This is politics – and the contest is for the greatest seat in the country… not a spot on “Highschool Musical”.

Dude! I’m from Ohio. Nice to meet a fellow Ohian.

I grew up in chicago.

avembe, Libya WAS a terrorist country who was trying to get the atom bomb, but when the US invaded Iraq and took out Sadam, Ghadfi, the leader of Libya decided to give up trying for the atom bomb and his support for terrorism. I guess he was afraid that he would be next to be invaded by the US.

Ryan C
Lieberman lost fare and square.

MM,
I agree Joe lost his primary fair and square. Unfortunately he was able to stay in office.

“Libya WAS a terrorist country who was trying to get the atom bomb, but when the US invaded Iraq and took out Sadam, Ghadfi, the leader of Libya decided to give up trying for the atom bomb and his support for terrorism. I guess he was afraid that he would be next to be invaded by the US”
And North Korea decided to go full bore and got their nukes. And Iran saw the US hit Iraq but not NK and decided that they should pursue nukes too.
Libya hasn’t been an issue since we killed Quaddafyi’s 2 year old daughter during the Reagan years.

Obama’s camp is in a STATE of DENIAL …I should say STATES because there are like about 7 more than the 50.
His numbers ARE down in some of the state polls… there are A LOT more SWING states in play …some of them are BLUE states.

Yukon Barbie is TOAST after her first press interview and the McLame campaign knows it!!!
It is the PLAIN TRUTH, PALIN IS PLAIN!! OFF SCRIPT THERE IS NOTHING THERE!!!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!,..lol…you liberals sure are scared! And might I say uninformed!!
Palin did not say she SOLD the jet on E-bay she said she “put” it on e-bay.
Obama camp just lied today about the flags.Duh people have pictures.Obama has lied well over 60 times now ALL DOCUMENTED! And still we don’t know if obama is even American at 20 years of age his pass port said Indonesian!
The boy is a joke and his father was Black or Arab? Is he Christian or Muslim? School papers say Islam,..lolf
face it…the dem’s did not vet obama,..and now they pay. Lie all you want about Palin,..she was vetted for 6 weeks,..they know it all so bring it!

Vote McCain feel the pain and don’t complain!

I am a Mccain supporter but what I see is that mCcAIN AND pALIN are bent to reduce Americans to beggars. McCain does not have the country first; he has his political ambitions first; otherwise he would not HAVE selected Palin A corrupt lady as VP!
I ma voting for OBAMA 08!

Frankly I like Huckabee better then McCain. At least Huckabee would rather lose an election and not attack,rather then win an election via false attack.
Obama08

Palin called Hillary a whiner back when they were doing the same thing to Hillary. I guess that makes Palin a whiner too?
Why is there a double standard now that it is a Republican? It’s a shame in this day and age that a woman has to be put under attacks like that. Just goes to show that Hillary was right when so many said she wasn’t.

Nanas
McCain has highest absentee voting record see for yourself. He won’t show up for the job.

I am a Mccain supporter but what I see is that THERE ARE MANY MCCAIN CAMP MERCENARIES DEPLOYED IN THESE WEBSITES TO MAJOR ON SILLY THINGS INSTEAD OF ON ISSUES! AND THAT’S A SHAME FOR SUCH PEOPLE WHO CALLED THEMSELVES PATRIOTIC AMERICANS!
MCCAIN AND PALIN ARE NOT ON ISSUES BECAUSE THEY HAVE NONE TO TALK ABOUT BUT CREATING DISTRACTIONS! NOT AGAIN. THIS TIME IT WILL NOT WORK. IT WORKED UNTIL WE VOTED IN THE WRONG PRESIDENT BUSH; AND SEE WHERE THAT HAD BROUGHT US. ONCE BITTEN, TWICE SHY!
I AM VOTING A DEMOCRAT AND HE IS OBAMA 08. 500 MORE OF MY CLUB MEMBERS HAVE VOWED WITH ME TO VOTE FOR OBAMA 08!

Hey The Right Wing Lies,..um give us P.U.M.A folks some credit will ya!

ates and lied about Clinton just like you are lieing about Palin. BTW,..the smears on Palin goes back to a web-site by your man obama the liar.Fightthesmears,..darn the pesky ip tracker! Obama LIES!

Who’s Smarter?
McCain – Bottom of his Class
Palin – Average student – 5 different schools – Journalism degree
Bush – well nevermind Bush, everyone know about him
Obama – A graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he served as president of the Harvard Law Review
Biden – In 1961, Biden graduated from Archmere Academy in Claymont, Delaware.[6] He attended the University of Delaware in Newark,[7] where he graduated with a double major in history and political science in 1965.[3] He went on to receive his J.D. from Syracuse University College of Law in 1968, and was admitted to the Delaware Bar in 1969.[7]
Is there really any contest here? This is election is such an easy decision. We are in big trouble, and we want to elect more stupid people like Bush. We need big solutions, smart solutions. Not more of the same old dumb Republican agenda.

Sorry but those years are age 5-10 those are years that define you. He considered himself an Indonesian that is why he still had a passport of Indonesia at age 20.
That is why as an adult Barack was attacted to people that hate America, like his mentor Rev Wright. And also his wife and William Ayers.
We can’t trust Barack with our nukes. He’d at least give Indonesia an H bomb. Maybe he’d throw Kenya a suitcase bomb.

I WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN-PALIN. The other two candidates are a joke !!!! No brainer. Both Obama & Biden are only legislative experience. McCain-Palin is an excellent combination because of Legislative & Executive skills combined.

I live in DELAWARE also and Biden is not corrupt.

THE CAMPAIGN TO NOWHERE
DOLE SAID THAT HE WANTED TO BUILD A BRIDGE TO THE PAST.
CLINTON WON THAT ELECTION BY SAYING THAT *HE* WANTED TO BUILD A BRIDGE TO THE FUTURE.
BUSH HAS SPENT 8 YEARS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON FOREIGN WARS WHILE OUR BRIDGES ARE FALLING DOWN
AT HOME.
PALIN FUNDED THE “BRIDGE TO NOWHERE” USING HUGE AMOUNTS OF PORK.
McCAIN IS PROMISING McSAME AS BUSH AND CHENEY.
WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US?
WITH A BUSH/CHENEY/MCCAIN/PALIN
“CAMPAIGN TO NOWHERE”

Again even you Obama supporters don’t know the basics about him. I’ll give you the facts without the spin.
Obama’s mama got pregnant at age 17 in her first semester in college.
She was an atheist and very liberal.
Obama’s father was a 25 year old African.
He dumped them to go to Massachusetts about a year or so later.
His mom hooked up with another muslim and they moved to Indonesia and Barack lived there from age 5 to age 10.
Barack had an Indonesian passport at age 20.
Barack was baptized in his twenties.

Anybody who supported Hillary Clinton in the primaries who is now voting McCain/Palin, all you are doing is showing you didn’t care what Hillary stood for in the first place.
Sorry, but I am taking my chances with Obama/Biden.
“No way, No how, No McCain, No Palin.”

Biden – In 1961, Biden graduated from Archmere Academy in Claymont, Delaware.[6] He attended the University of Delaware in Newark,[7] where he graduated with a double major in history and political science in 1965.[3] He went on to receive his J.D. from Syracuse University College of Law in 1968, and was admitted to the Delaware Bar in 1969.[7]
Is there really any contest here? This is election is such an easy decision. We are in big trouble, and we want to elect more stupid people like Bush. We need big solutions, smart solutions. Not more of the same old dumb Republican agenda.

=======================================
I have not seen a more concise and timely post on these blogs for a long time, including mine!
One question, can I use it??
Obama/Biden ’08!!!
Good JOB!!!

For the die-hards Obama fans …
A new national poll puts Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain in a dead heat – 42% to 42%.
The CBS poll was conducted from Monday to Wednesday, BEFORE the GOP convention ended with McCain’s speech Thursday night.
OUCH !!!

Davis,
Thanks. Yeah use it up. Email Obama’s campaign people. Do whatever you need to do. That’s really all I need to know, to know who to vote for. I’m sure alot of other people would agree with me.

James D,
And George Bush, just got elected President because of his Father.
And McCain just made it through the naval acadamy and got away with murder because of his father (four star admiral in the United States Navy)

It’s just so obivous that Barack Hussein Obama was a muslim as a child. If nothing is wrong with it then why not just admit it? I’m sure his supporters would not have a problem with it. Do you honestly believe that he never studied the Koran in Indonesia or attended mosque with his step-father? There are eye-witnesses that remember young Hussein following his step-dad to evening prayer.
The fact is I want a President that is loyal to the United States. With McCain he not only likes America….he looooooves it!

Then it’s fair game to constantly mention that he was a muslim as a child and he may still be one and may have bad intentions for the United States.
If he’d just tell the truth and say ‘I was muslim but I’m christian now’ then it would be a non-issue.

I am completely disgusted with the comments. Do you not care about your country? First off, Obama is not an empty suit, he was raised by a single mother, he went to columbia, and harvard law school. How dare you claim that just because he is black, he is an empty suit. I am a white male, and I am ashamed for all of you. Have you no decency left? Are you really going to berate someone who worked hard, pursued the AMERICAN dream, and attained his goals. All of his views despite what most of you state, are pragmatic and often more moderate than anything. Universal health care is his most “liberal” view. For those who don’t believe in pro-choice, environmental independence from renewable energy, merit based pay for teachers, etc. Fine you don’t agree with him. But since when does America stand for hostile behavior to other human beings. Since when does America stand for a stubborn politic, who doesn’t listen to other nations? Since when does America put corporate interests before the benefit of the nation as a whole? Clinton supporters, Obama didn’t pick Hillary because she simply wasn’t the best choice. Biden was. He provides extensive experience in a variety of matters. Obama’s intellect and judgment would have prevented us from entering the Iraq war, and I would rather have a President who can stand up to the war cries of Congress and be an outsider, who is later proved to be right, than someone with 30 years of Senate experience who lacked the judgment and made a huge political mistake. Enough is enough. If you want your views to be taken seriously, please provide a rational argument, not driven by political bias or blatant disrespect for another individual or their views, but actually provide REAL evidence for what you state. A lot of these comments find their argument lacking any evidence. These comments just complain or insult. Ask yourself, what does this accomplish? If all you do is call the other person an iddiot for 500 comments, what was accomplished? If you actually do BELIEVE in your own opinions, ARGUE them, but do not belittle anyone. Honestly, are you really proud of yourself by doing this?

I am a lot more concerned about the political corruption of Obama….and the lack of response of the press than I am about his religious background.
Please note that the Rezko=Obama=IL Gov investigation is on-going. Has Rezko been sentenced yet or is he finally cooperating? The “pay for play” scandal is being covered up by the mainstream press.
Palin fired an employee that was “at will” and is being investigated by her political enemies….Give me a break pundits and media types.
Sadly from reading some of this stuff some people really do believe the smears. And those are the same people that believe Obama is not part of a nasty political corrupt machine.

Thank you DI and Devon,
There are intelligent people in this country.

Seriously,
Democrats and Republicans, and Independents, can we stop the name-calling? It does NOTHING FOR ANYONE. McBush? Obama is an empty suit? McSame? The argument is baseless. I am a Democrat, but it’s sad to see both Democrat and Republican trying to get one-ups on one another without a SINGLE substantiated argument. If we all care about our country, let’s have a Discussion/Conversation. The best decision is often a compromise, and no extreme is ever right. Don’t you all see that as well? Let’s put away the bickering and actually post intelligent comments on this site. Please.

There is nothing radical about Obamas religious beliefs. Palin has much more radical religious beliefs. Not believing in evolution and believing in Creationism is one example.
McCain doesn’t know what to believe. He said in 2000 he believed in pro-choice. Now he says he’s pro-life. Abortion is a non issue. Some people think it should be illegal, some don’t. It’s never going to be stopped whether legal or not. In my opinion outlawing it would be unconstitutional because of our right of Freedom of Religion.

James D,
Obama’s mother was raised by 2 white parents in Withita Kansas until she was was an adult as a Christian. Do you really think she converted to Muslim? Another interesting thing about Barack’s Mother she was described by classmates as the “original Feminist”. I think that might be of interest to Hillary’s supporters.

Obama’s mama was out of control. There was a recent article on Obama’s life. And at first she was teaching communism to young children as a student teacher. No I don’t think she was a commie just someone who wanted attention. And she was also a very devout atheist at the time she entered university.
At age 13 Obama’s mother did leave young Hussein with her parents, but they had a very estranged relationship during Barack’s first 10 years. The damage was already done and Barack considered himself Indoneisan and would stare at his Indonesian passport wishing he had plane fare to return to his homeland.(It’s in the book)

James D,
Where do you get all this from?

There are a 10 page article a few weeks ago on the life of Obama. I believe it was from the Washington Post.

How is that the ‘real story’ that is just spin by the Obama handlers. That article is old there is a newer one with more accurate details.
The facts are still the same.
He lived in Indonesia from age 5-10.
When in Indonesia he attended public schools where you had to study the Koran for two hours a day. Yes, if you were Christian or Jew you had the option to study the bible. But you had to study something. Why would Barack who’s biolgical father and step-father are muslim and a mother who doesn’t give a crap not study the Koran.
Even in that article they mention that Barack followed his step-father to evening prayer.

James D,
The stuff you are saying is just speculation and theories. You keep saying you have all this new information, well where is it? Give me some links. I’m game. I certainly don’t want someone in the White House I can’t trust again, like Bush. So give me some links to this new information and you better make sure they have references to where they get their information.

James D,
Hey I recognize that language. “Empty Suite”. Hey it’s Michael Savage from the Savage Nation. So you are either the man himself. Or you love to listen to AM Talk Radio. I knew it.

We are so TIRED of OBAMA PLAYING THE VICTIM ROLE.
This Nation needs to be run by a man of honor and courage…..NOT A WHINER and LIAR.
Posted by: mary | Sep 7, 2008 4:46:36 AM
Guess that leaves McCain out as well.The only part you were right about was honor and courage.

I agree with Annie….
WE ARE SO TIRED OF OBAMA PLAYING THE VICTIM ROLE!
E N O U G H!
It’s time to man up, and stop whining.

Obama is out campaigning and giving unscripted interviews to hard-hitting journalists–even Fox TV.
He is not hiding behind a McCain and handlers, like a venemous serpent, striking out at the opponant.
Why is she hiding?
Because she is a victim she and McCain say. Right.
Palin has lied so many times in her nine days of fame that it is routine for every statement she makes to be fact checked and truth noted before printng.
Why isn’t she giving press conferences or being interviewed at the Sunday press meetings?
Because she is really Peter Sellers’ Chance from ‘Being There’ and that script only plays well with Republicans?
Or it is because she is lawyering up to derail the recall or impeachment process in Alaska?
Or is it because she is looking for answers to her mysterious property purchases sheilded by her alleged lover’s, Scott Richter, company (exposed in his divorce papers), his former wife’s handling of the oil company money bonanza to Alaska and the missing government database?
We could go on and on.
Is either Palin or McCain a victim? No, they are the ones making the attacks and smear ads then running for cover shouting ‘POW’ and ‘I am a Mommy’.
This is just a bog-standard Bush/Rove dirty tricks operation.
Attack. Lie. Run for cover. Attck. Lie. Run for coverage.
Did I forget Bomb, Drill baby Drill?

I am an Independent female voter and all the SEXIST attacks against Gov. Palin by the Democrats have only served to convince me that Women have a LONG WAY TO GO before we are considered equals.
However, we are not going to get there unless we stand up to these type of Sexist Attacks.
My vote in November will be FOR Gov. Palin…..it’s my way of saying NO TO SEXISM.
I can not vote for Obama and his campaign who show such disregard for female politiicans.

J
The sexist garbage as you call it was not exposed by HIllary or Palin. It was exposed by Obama and his supporters who continue to show horrid treatment of women.
By the way since when did helping women not become part of helping the USA.
I want a better world for my daughters and that is NOT going to happen if I help Obama and his “good old boy” network.
Obama showed us how he felt about women when he picked Biden over Hillary who had proven to be the MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE.
The last week Obama and his supporters continued with the sexist attacks, except now they were aimed at Palin.
Which made it clear to women that it wasn’t a Obama Hillary issue….it was an Obama Woman issue.
His top supporters and pundits ….who he controls were all out last week spreading their sexist remarks…many of them using the same lines
So this women is not going to VOTE AGAINST SEXISTM……by VOTING NO OBAMA.

Michelle,
“The last week Obama and his supporters continued with the sexist attacks, except now they were aimed at Palin.”
Wasn’t it Obama who said to “BACK OFF” regarding the children of Palin. What sexist remarks are you talking about that Obama has made?

Posted by: MICHELLE | Sep 7, 2008 5:55:03 AM
You already posted that. McCain does not have a good stance on women’s issues.
Posted by: J | Sep 7, 2008 6:00:00 AM
=====================
The way I see it McCain is GREAT for Women.
He had the courage to pick a WOMAN for VP, while Obama DENIED the best qualified Female candidate ever…the VP slot
ACTIONS ARE LOUDER THAN WORDS.
McCain…………. PICKS a FEMALE VP
Obama…………..DENIES VP slot to best Female Candidate ever!

What about his stand on equal pay for equal work. What about his stand on abortion? He is no maverick when it comes to women’s issues.
The reason you are voting for him makes no sense whatsoever. Yes he should have picked Hillary but for you to vote for him on that one issue is really not using your head.

J
I have varying issues on abortion with BOTH
Obama and McCain.
So the abortion issue is not a vote changer for me.

J
One of the negatives of Obama is that he is never around when things get tough.
In the last 4 votes regarding Abortion….Obama DID NOT vote…….for political purposes.
All the pro-choicers that were counting on him to come through on these important issues were kicked to the curb.
Obama avoids the TOUGH issues and that cannot be good for our nation.

I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY WOMEN ARE SO HAPPY ABOUT PALIN? SHE GIVES ME THE SENSE THAT SHE ISN’T THE PERSON SHE SAYS SHE IS. REMEMBER SHE’S NUMBER 2. SHE HAS TO DO EVERYTHING THE PRESIDENT SAYS. MCCAIN IS JUST LIKE BUSH. HE DOESN’T FOOL ME AND EITHER DOES PALIN. DON’T LET THE MAKEUP AND SMILE FOOL YOU. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHENEY AND PALIN. LIPSTICK!

————————–
J ..
You obviously forgot my reason for voting against Obama…so there it is one more time.
You keep trying to make this a Hillary issue and it’s not!

Donna…you and J you keep wanting to make this about Hillary and it’s not.
However, since you want to compare….Obama, Michelle and his campaign treated Hillary and Bill Clinton horribly for the last year and a half.
Obamas campaign spokespersons which are controlled by Obama also were vicious.
Obama also didn’t have very nice things to say about his own grandmother.
Obama also said rural people were “bitter, gun-toting, faithless people.
Obama sees white americans as “Typical white people”
Obama REFUSED and DENIED the most qualified female candidate the VP spot.
So please don’t try to tell me that Obama is nicer to woman than McCain.
OBAMAS ACTIONS HAVE PROVEN THAT HE IS NOT!

Michelle,
Palin called her a whiner. You want to vote for THAT woman? What’s the deal now that it’s her. It was ok I guess when it was Hillary. You don’t get it. Hillary is the one that put the spotlight on the treatment of women throughout the campaign.
Here is what Palin said :
““When I hear a statement like that coming from a woman candidate with any kind of perceived whine about that excess criticism, or maybe a sharper microscope put on her, I think, ‘Man, that doesn’t do us any good, women in politics, or women in general, trying to progress this country,’ ” Palin said.
To vote against the principles that Hillary Clinton has fought and worked hard for just tells me you were never really a supporter in the first place. If you were, you couldn’t vote McCain.

J

You already posted that and if you look into McCain’s record he has missed quite a few important votes as well. As for Palin, she doesn’t even know what the VP does.

Not this woman either? Seems no female seeking elective office would ever please the Obama and his supporters. Hillary did not pass muster and was a racist. Ferarro was a racist. Now Palin does not share Hillary beliefs. Get a clue, Hillary voters are voters not worshippers. We are not awaiting her messianic endorsement to tell us how to think or feel. We are not mindless voters that select a candidate on the single issue of abortion.
The pundits and analysts that thought after the perfunctory primaries that they did not need our vote were wrong. Those that thought the sexist treatment of Clinton would blow over were mistaken. The bottom line is the most qualified Democrat is sitting out this race because she is a woman.
Obama’s empty rhetoric and the Democrats demand for party loyalty have fallen on deaf ears. We always understood that in tough times it takes proven leadership and experience to see us through. The Democratic nominee has neither and therefore he will not get my vote.

Obama’s indifferent about America, he’s a “citizen-of-the-world.” Men and women like McCain and Palin make Obama look like exactly what he is: a self-absorbed, adolescent, swishy little socialist.
When McCain beats him, Hill & Bill will take over the DNC on Nov 3rd.

Obama supporters – don’t fall for the hype. Continue to do what we as a grassroots organization have done in the past which is . . . knock on doors, get out the vote, talk to neighbors, friends and people on the street and donate.
This charade coming from the Republican party simply will not work this time because we can’t afford it.
We have less than 55 days to go. Let us win this election.
Go Obama/Biden/WE THE PEOPLE 08

this from the campaign claiming sexism and unfair attacks on their horribly ill equipped vice presidential choice all week
McCain’s campaign manager is getting to the point, literally, of the absurd…
it would be funny if their flagrant disregard for the well being of America over their campaign tactic tricks and Cheney Rovian skills weren’t showing their ugly heads with their hiding their “witness” from the press and saying “oops” when false information shows up repeatedly in speeches…
and then distracting by drawing fire away from themselves and toward the press… the same as the last 8 years.
get rid of these guys…quickly.

Republicans are hypocrites. They are trying to present Palin as a victim of sexism..

Obama’s empty rhetoric and the Democrats demand for party loyalty have fallen on deaf ears. We always understood that in tough times it takes proven leadership and experience to see us through. The Democratic nominee has neither and therefore he will not get my vote.

Why is it that B. Hussein Obama keeps his Muslim name?
If I wasn’t a Muslim I would want my American name back!!!!!
When you convert to Islam you take an Islamic name, so if you are not a muslim shouldn’t you take the name you were born with back??????
Seems like a common sense issue.

Obama is starting to suffer from “media-fatigue” … much of what we saw since Feb 2008 was a clear case of media-circus around Obama at the expense of McCain (and too certain extent Hillary).
Now that McCain has stolen the headlines by naming Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. Palin, with a tumultuous political and personal history, dominated the news, overshadowing efforts by Obama and his running mate, Biden, to tell their own political story.
This is definitely is reflected in the national polling numbers and could give McCain a lead when the next round of polls comes out next week. In swing state Ohio, the projection is for McCain to take the lead over Obama. Now they are tied at 42%.

Obama isn’t a Muslim, fair enough, he just knows a lot of them and they like him alot. Iran really likes Obama, and so do the other terrorists. Go figure -its a fact. Let me be clear here, thisn isn’t a personal attack, I am dissapointed that Mr. Obama Senator, is again whining about his associations.
Sen. Obama isn’t corrupt, he just knows a lot of corrupt people. Sen Obama doesn’t hate America, he just spent 20 years with a real doozy. Sen Barack isn’t a terroist, he just worked closely with one as “a community organizer”. He is begining to sound like the 3M candidate. No real products.
Barack hasn’t really “changed” anything, he just “hopes” he can. I searched for Barak’s accomplishments on the interent. Its still running – I will get back to you on that.
If you want a ticket that has a demonstrated record of working for change, then keep an open mind. Watch the debates. Go back and look at the videos from the RNC campaign. I know you want to. it will change your life. To quote a well known news pundit, “You will get tingles up your legs”.
INFIDEL>

After watching McCain & Plain at the RNC convention an old saying jumped out at me. “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups”.

Who is Sarah Palin?
Great Celebrity… she is already all over the cover of the magazines.
She can perform well with the written script.
But, she never speaks on her own. no “Meet the Press”, No “Face the Nation”, No “This Week”.
Oh, These are too difficult Programs for her bird’s brain.

As a former Hillary Supporter and Delegate, I would like to say that the last week or so has only served to remind me of all the Obama vicious attacks and lies.
Hillary asked us to support Obama and some of us are trying to do that, however, it appears that Obama HAS NOT CHANGED>
He continues to play the victim role and continues to work at creating a HUGE DIVIDE between Americans.
I can no longer stand by him and come November this DEMOCRAT IS GOING TO VOTE FOR PALIN.

You’re right all the attacks on females are getting old.

Agreed….time to stand up for women.
LATINAS SUPPORT PALIN

They’re correct OBAMA LOVES PLAYING THE VICTIM ROLE.
He also doesn’t mind dividing the nation as long as it’s for his OWN political gain.
E N O U G H OF THE WHINING OBAMA….time to act like a man.

Well, ignorance is bliss. One only has to look at current events to see that terrorists come in all shapes and sizes….Jew, Christian, Muslim, those who don’t believe in the God of the Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, kids that shoot up schools, etc.!
Maybe folks are looking at how others are acting and speaking and wondering if they are closet terrorists.
It is obvious today that nobody can be trusted!
Why don’t they just deal with the issues. This is just side-track bull so that either side doesn’t have to show who they really are and what they really believe so America can make an informed decision.

Who is playing cards more often?
How about Maccain’s POW Card? Even republicans will be sick of it.

J
You can twist all the words you want about Palin…however, I REMEMBER how Obama treated Hillary and it WAS TERRIBLE.
Obama gave HIllary the FINGER
Obama gave Hillary the BRUSH OFF
Obama REFUSED to shake Hillary’s hand
Obama CALLED Hillary a Liar
We have a year and a half of disrespect, so don’t go there.
We are still voting or Gov. Palin.

JASON
IF YOU WANT MCCAIN TOASTED –PLAY A FEW OF HIS POW BROADCASTS FROM THE HANOI HILTON.

We know that Obama is a pathological liar . . . this has been proven many times. It would be very dangerous to have a president as insecure and narcicistic as he is.

it is kind of strange how people make up lies about obama–and then work at believing them.
but hide the truth about mccain.
DOESNT ANYONE QUESTION WHY HIS MILITARY RECORDS ARE SEALED—YOU WOULD BE SHOCKED.

Obama keeps playing the card “Look at me! I am a victim! Those Republicans point out my friends are terrorists, my pastor hates America and he is my mentor! Oops, was my mentor for over 20 years. Now I disavow all the bad things he said. Those Republicans will also tell you I don’t look the same as those other presidents, I am somehow different (wink, wink).Can you guess how I’m different? Brothers and sisters, vote for me!”
McCain keeps playing the card “Look at my time as pow. While there I became less interested in myself and more in love of my country. It has influenced a large part of who I am today, a person who will dedicate his life for America.”
What a contrast.

To poster Funny Republicans?:
So much irony, so much cognitive dissonance, so much material!
Work for comedians will get much, much harder when Obama gets into office.

“Wha.. Wha.. Wha.. what they are do.. do.. doing is ah.. ah.. ah.. um.. um.. picking on um.. um.. um.. me”.
Dont know how this wimpy lawyer got through law school with his inability to speak without a teleprompter. Can anyone say… affirmative action?

I watchedc the video of our first war against Iraq, the one in which there were no American casualties.
It showed me Iraq was never a threat to America. The Iraq army under Sadam was pathetic.
The Americans that voted for Bush, from fear and greed, will answer to God. They are responsible for the needless deaths of over 4,000 good Americans.

Well, Stevorino, perhaps the entire democrat party and the entire international community disagreed with your assessment of Iraq. Playing monday morning quarterback to bash Bush is certainly disingenuous dontcha think?

Steve
If Obama is elected, we just might!

McCain isn’t making Obama scared of me, Obama’s frightening relationships are what is making me scared of Obama.
Not to mention his supporters have more hate inside then anyone I have ever met.
Obama is dividing the country.

Noun, verb, POW: Talk about playing the victim!
Anyway, it’s all he’s got to offer.

DAVE
EVER WONDER WHY MCCAINS MILITARY RECORDS ARE SEALED——IF IT WERE GOOD IT WOULD BE ALL OVER THE NEWS.
MCCAIN STATED HIMSELF THAT HIS ONLY AMBITION IS TO BE PRES—–AND SINCE HE HAS PROVEN TO HAVE A VERY LOW IQ—WHAT COULD HE POSSIBLY DO FOR ANYONE.
THIS GUY IS A —D—AVERAGE AT BEST—THIS IS PUBLISHED FACT
Posted by: rodney | Sep 7, 2008 9:41:52 AM
I am surprised no Dem has ever asked why Kerry’s records are still sealed AFTER he said he would release them. We are still waiting.
As for McCain’s military records or grades he got in college or grade school 40 years ago, I don’t care. For the most part what happened 40 years ago is irrelevant.
As far as IQ is concerned I and most people have first hand knowledge of people with high IQ’s who also have no common sense, no character and are not ethical.
McCain’s plans have common sense.
When Obama says he will force oil companies to drill for oil where they haven’t found any or by greatly increasing taxes on companies they will lower prices, hire more people and pay them a higher wage just doesn’t make sense.

Steve, the great military genius because,
“I watched the video of our first war against Iraq…It showed me Iraq was never a threat to America.”
I stayed in a Holiday Inn once too.

It takes more than testosterone to shape a man’s character. And McCain’s time in a POW camp doesn’t make him “manly.” It doesn’t even qualify him to be a president.
I’ll take an intellectual pragmatist over a pouting bully any day.

Rodney “IT IS RATHER FUNNY WHEN the people ASK FOR 0bama’s RECORDS like law firm,or grades even a birth certificate HOW they’re lost or unavailable ,—-WOW ALL WE WANT are HIS RECORDS—IS THAT TOO DIFFICULT OR ARE WE LOOKING AT A BUNCH OF LIES,,,”

Dear Brad,
If you consider the red meat Jake Tapper has thrown to readers, these slings and arrows may make more sense to you.
His article informs the horserace, not the issues debate, so we take the poop left behind and fling it at one another.
Most voters don’t read much more than what scrolls across the bottom of the television screen. 24-hour news channels don’t cover the issues. The MSM doesn’t provide all the facts.
Etc.
Most voters are LAZY and emotional.
This stuff is what they use to make their decision every 4 years. Since the 90s, when being truly informed became passe, the right wing conservatives have had the microphone.
And look at the resulting disaster that has been the last 8 years. So some of us on the other side have decided to defend our positions, and this is one forum to do so.
You hastily assume that many posters here don’t read or write thoughtfully otherwise. You are wrong in that assumption.

Amen, Jennifer from the Twin Cities!

Mary Ann,
In your dreams.
Your pathetic effort to make Obama out to be some anti-female pig isn’t going to work.
I am a woman who came of age during the late sixties and seventies. I have been through the h*ll that was the effort to keep women down and in their places.
I experienced prejudice.
I dealt with men who sneered and laughed about women who didn’t know their place.
You can lie all you want, but the bulk of those men were (and remain) Republicans–the fine folks who want to take us back to the peaceful 1950s, when women were best kept barefoot and pregnant.
Go spill your sexist lies someplace else where people don’t know better.
Obama is not the man you wishes he were to make your lies work; he is, of the two men running for presidency, the ONLY one who understands the needs of women.
I, for one, REFUSE to be scared or shamed into voting Republican because of your sexist nonsense.
Take your ball and chain and go home to your laundry and your kitchen and vote McCain–if your man allows it.
I, for one, want to move forward, not back.

By the way, so what if Obama attended a Muslim school? What does that really mean to you?
I attended Catholic schools for 12 years.
What does that make me?

Deb,
Any young and impressionable grade school child will internalize what they learn in school. Additionally, the step father with whom he was raised is an admitted Radical Muslim.So the values and lessons he learned in school were reinforced at home with a radical spin. In no way am I disparaging Muslims in general who predominantly despise the radical sect of their religion. What I do not understand is why those who are pro-Obama don’t just come out and say what it is they really want… a Socialist United States. Call a spade a spade for pete sake. Why are you so afraid to really stand up for what it is you seek?

The latest Republican complaint used to separate the American people is that asking Palin questions or even interviewing her is sexist. Excuse me, but Palin is a job applicant for a very important job. How many readers have been able to go into a job interview and tell the people hiring her/him that she/he will select the questions and determine who asks them. No reader can honestly answer in the affirmative.
The McCain campaign is controlling access and information about the V.P. pick. Her selection and the McCain camp’s handling of it make the Dan Quayle pick for V.P. look brilliant.

How many times he voted present ?? 114 times.
And the button to mark “Present” in the senate is “Yellow”.
Now with such a record it will be tough on Obama– even to vote for himself. He might vote McCain.
Mccain/Palin 08

FACT: It has been proven and Obama does not deny that he has surrounded himserlf with racists and terrorists yet the Dems think this is OK. This is a very blatant example of hypocrisy!!!!!!!! STOP RACISM WHEREVER IT EXISTS! NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!

hey Obama voted preasent 130 times.
Ask Obama when life begins and he well tell you that it is above his pay grade.
I would say thast Obama is the racis
person in this race.

It’s official. These comment forums provide no constructive value at all…only a venue for ignorant, proud Americans to further cement their bigotry, and closed-mindedness iton their own world view. This goes for both parties.
If you don’t have anything constructive to contribute, stay out of the forum.

I think Obama made a massive critical error by choosing Biden for VP. If only he had the wisdom and foresight of our hero John McCain maybe Obama could have picked one damn good ex-PTA President with absolutely no political experience and — unlike Palin — no big-time political connections. That would undoubtedly trump the Palin effect. If McCain wins come November, I’ll be the first to say “God Bless America the Mediocre!”

OK … Obamanites…… as you hopefully already know, it is not the President who legislates, it is our Congress. Kindly explain why the present Democratic Congress has such a low approval rating. Rasmussen reports a 9% approval rating of Congress. Gallup is more generous with a 20% approval rating. If you truly stand behind your selections then why is the approval so low?

I am a Registered Nurse in the State of New Jersey. People complain left and right about the high cost of health care. Let me be the first to tell you that it is not the lack of dollars being put into health care in the United States… but rather, it is the incessant increase in regulation that is crippling the system. A major problem is also the litigious society in which we live. Doctors are constantly ordering unnecessary tests and consults just to cover their arse. Do you realize that any addict, convicted felon or sociopath who has used up their government assistance just has to go to the nearest emergency room and say “I think I want to kill myself” and they can come in for 3 hots and a cot, hang around a few days or as is often the case, weeks, on our dime and then be placed in some type of government assisted living…
This goes on daily. Government regulations also stipulate that there be a highly paid, masters prepared “movement therapist” or “music therapist” to entertain them while they are camping out. No one says that music isn’t good for the soul… but why not turn on the radio? More government regulation will cripple the healthcare system and any other entity it gets involved in. As it is now nurses are forced to spend far more time satisfying regulations and policies than they are providing direct patient care. It’s all about the paperwork.. not about the patient…. more money will not fix this problem.

A communist country just put on the best Olympics ever AND won the most gold medals. There were just too few Moms and Dads like Michael Phelp’s or Shawn Johnson’s who’s sacrifice was enough to propel their kids to the top. The rest were too distracted by mortgage failures, medical expenses, gas prices and educational budget-cuts, all problems that grew during two-plus decades of rising corporate profits and tax-cuts. (3/4th of Fortune 500 companies pay ZERO taxes today through loopholes, while consumers and small businesses make up for them) Yet big companies and large shareholders continue to divert most re-investment to foreign shores.
China is also growing twice as fast as the US and is the new operations center for some of America’s biggest companies. They did it by greatly expanding their middle-class with sustained investments in education, healthcare and housing and energy…all things that that have been draining our middle-class since the two Bush Presidents piled on the debt, sold it to other countries and blindly deregulated everything. Wake up America. It was NEVER about Socialism vs. Capitalism…China has both. Its about government policies that help us help ourselves AND channeling the private sector’s natural profit incentive to actually help the country instead of legally stealing from it.
McCain/Palin want to double down on big corporate tax cuts and further deregulate big oil, healthcare, education. No matter their good home-town intentions, they cannot drive good policy when it is written for them by hundreds of big-corporate lobbyists. This election is possibly the last chance to save the working middle-class and everything it does for this country, otherwise many of us will be applying for jobs in China in a few years. It is unbelievable that many voters are still voting based on identity politics…”my vote will only go to a ‘woman’ or ‘war vet’ or “someone more like me.”

Colleen,
Nonsense about internalizing. I have two daughters; both went to various parochial school. Neither of them internalized anything about the church; they did get an excellent education.
They are now adults and guess what? They haven’t turned (horrors!) into Catholics or into evengelicals. They are who they are, who the family made them, and they have incorporated their various experienced to become OPEN MINDED, FAIR, SENSITIVE individuals who won’t succumb to fear-mongering like you are attempting to do.

Deb,
As you stated, your children internalized what they were taught in the home. I am sure Barrak Obama did as well… and THAT is my point. He was raised by radical extremists. This is the country of acceptance of different viewpoints. I accept that his viewpoint is different from mine. I just do not happen to agree with it. I have travelled to Europe, housed countless foreign exchange students (without any compensation) and attended one of the most culturally diverse campuses in the nation.. where despite my caucasian skin I was nominated to be the class president. There are good and bad among every sector of society. What I oppose most with Obama is that he is not forthright about his opinions and views. There is not now nor will there likely ever be anyone running for office who has not made a mistake or two in the past… that is part of the human condition. But… to not own up for mistakes and attempt to sweep them under the rug is wrong. Obama wants a socialist country.. period… that is his choice… as well as the choice of his followers. There are many in the world who apparently prefer that form of government. Why is he not forthright in his speeches and stating precisely what his goal is.
As for the commentor who praised China as being both socialism and capitalism. … According to Marxist theory.. socialism is the bridge between capitalism and communism… therefore there will always be a time when both exist simultaneously as the change is gradual.
The average Chinese person lives in squalor. They cannot even breathe the air without a mask.. Personally I don’t think that is all that Grand!

after all Obama is the most Liberal of anyone in Congress right?

There is NO indication that Obama was raised in a radical home–that is another of the dirty rotten Republican scandolous lies. Other than the fact that his mother married no-whites (yes, I understand that probably does make her a radical in your eyes) AND her husbands did not practice Christianity, that DOES NOT make her a radical.
What is does make her, from everything I have read, is a devoted mother who got up before dawn to study with her son, her worked hard to send him to the best of schools regardless of whether they had Republican stamps of approval on them, and when she could no longer provide for her son in the way she thought best, she asked her parents to look after him.
Now, are you saying any of this is radical?
And are you saying that these two Kansas city stalwarts who worked for the US government in WWII (one as a soldier, one on an assembly line) were radical? Because that is as much Obama’s background as anything else.
Oh, I forgot, you Republicans can spin anything into a web of lies. Disgusting. Positively disgusting.

Ever heard of the phrase empty vessels
make the most noise? The vessel’s of the
democratic party are howling with that
singular one-noted sound. I also suspect
that there is a gnashing of teeth that
so represents the party of tolerance.

There are so many lies about Obama supposedly hiding things. It’s a crock. Yes, Barack Hussein Obama is the son of a protestant Christian mother and a muslim economist from Kenya from whom he was estranged. He was born in Hawaii and, after living with his mom and a muslim stepfather in Jakarta, Indonesia for a time attending the Basuki school from 1969 to 1971.”This is a public school. We don’t focus on religion,” Hardi Priyono, deputy headmaster of the Basuki school, told Vause of CNN. “In our daily lives, we try to respect religion, but we don’t give preferential treatment.” Vause reported he saw boys and girls dressed in neat school uniforms playing outside the school, while teachers were dressed in Western-style clothes. One of Obama’s Basuki classmates, Bandug Winadijanto, claims that not a lot has changed at the school since the two men were pupils.
“It’s not (an) Islamic school. It’s general,” Winadijanto said. “There is a lot of Christians, Buddhists, also Confucian. … So that’s a mixed school.” After his mother’s death from cancer, Barack was raised by his protestant, white grandparents in Hawaii.

Young Atheart
Please note China as well as most other countries of the world have a lower corporate tax rate than the US. US companies pay among the highest taxes in the world.
One company alone pays more than 50% of all US citizens!! And yes, it is an “evil” oil company that Dems are saying is not paying enough.
In these terrible last 8 years the amount of growth of the US economy exceeds the TOTAL economy of China.
And if you missed it our bad economy is still the best in the industrial world.
The Dem plan proposed by Obama is to tax the living daylights out of corporations and small businesses to create massive new government programs.
Do you really think this will work? Don’t you think companies will respond with layoffs and higher prices? That is if they don’t go out of business?

Barack Obama is full of anger and resentment against white amerca. He says that certain whites cling to their religion and their guns. Sounds like stereotyping, doesn’t it? Americans will not elect this man.

As an Independent I think that the definitions of liberal vs. conservative have been distorted over the years. Liberalism used to mean “”do your own thing” and acceptance of all viewpoints. Today liberalism has taken on a different tone… particularly in the public school arena. I don’t care a bit what one family chooses to teach their own children with regards to morals, religion, sex, etc. that is their rights as parents. But to promote teaching moral values in the school is wrong. That is not the proper forum. It is the schools’ job to educate our youth. Teach them reading, writing, grammar, math, history and spelling. When they are adults … age 18… they can attend college and then have discourse about society’s mores. It is rather elitist for OBAMA to be so against school vouchers when he, himself did not attend public school because he was fortunate enough to have grandparents who could afford to send him to one of the most elite private schools in Hawaii. Today, liberal means “you better agree with me or else you are bad” and we need all of your money to have more government programs because the average american is too stupid to stand on their own two feet. How condescending. Wake up people… the more government programs they institute the worse the problem gets…. all these programs do is provide more government jobs for their supporters. in th

Dave in LV,
Between 2000 and 2004, the oil and gas industry poured more than $75 million into political campaigns, with 79 percent going to Republicans, money that may have influenced administration decisions opening protected public lands to drilling (CRP 2004).
Posted by: oil politics | Sep 7, 2008 2:29:14 PM
So what? How much have teachers and other unions given and to whom? How much has the ACLU given and to whom?
Given the oil companies have been blocked from finding and developing vast oil reserves, billions of gallons of oil and trillions of cubic feet of gas, evidently they should have done more.
It would have meant lower prices for you and me.

Why does Obama call women ‘sweetie’?
Why does Obama pay women less than men?
The women working for McCain get equal pay.

I may be wrong in this but I believe kids should be taught the difference between right and wrong.
And I believe this should be taught and reinforced in schools. This should be taught as well as compassion, self- sacrifice, helping others, the value of keeping an open mind and tolerence for others.
The teaching of moral equivalency where right and wrong don’t exist and only shades of grey do, is a bad influence upon our kids.

Eight weeks is not long enough for the American people to get to know a complete stranger. (All the people who choose to believe the lies about Obama, my prayers are with you that the Lord opens your eyes. This is for those whose hearts are still open.) American Voters cannot in good conscience elect a BLIND DATE into the White House. This has nothing to do with gender, religion, motherhood, or even party. We’ve all known people who we thought were wonderful who turned out not to be. The only responsible vote is for Obama/Biden because the 8 weeks the Republicans gave the American people is their idea of a great joke on all of us. In 8 weeks, we’ll still be looking at Sarah Palin’s wrapping and have no idea what sort of ‘gift’ she is to us. Responsible Americans have only one choice now – Obama/Biden – real people you know.

Looking at the title of this article – if we vote for a complete unknown to be Vice President of the United States, then our country will be the victim. Shame on the Republicans for setting up such a cynical ploy to keep people from talking about the real issues facing our country. I will NOT vote for a BLIND DATE for the White House. Our country deserves better – even from the Republican party.

Former Hockey Mom
If we vote for a total unknown where the people who know her best, both Republicans and Democrats, give her an 86% APPROVAL rating, that’s not bad.
When you know she has gone after the head of the Republican Party in her state and forced him to pay a $12,000 fine, not too bad. Not many would do that. Obama hasn’t.
When you know she has made more progress in getting a natural gas pipeline down to the US than any other governor in the last 30 years, in less than two years, impressive.
When you know she has turned down free federal money for a bridge to nowhere (Yes, I know she once was for it), it is also unusual and impressive.
We could do a lot worse.

Natural gas net imports have increased from 882 billion cubic feet in 1982 to 3.2 trillion cubic feet in 2003. The percentage of natural gas that we consume which comes from foreign sources has tripled from about 4.9 percent in 1982 to 14.7 percent in 2003 (EIA Natural Gas Review 2004). The EIA projects that dependence on foreign oil and gas will continue to grow rapidly over the next 20 years (EIA 2004a).
Even natural gas has tripled.

Even natural gas has tripled.

I believe you have proved my point. We keep relying on others because you won’t let us look.

Dave in LV,
Answer me this. We have plenty of Natural gas here in the US, why aren’t we using our own Natural Gas?
Same reason we’re not using our own oil, because it’s cheaper to import it.

Dave in LV,
At a town hall meeting in Arkansas on August 3, 2004, Vice President Cheney told the community that domestic declines in production were driven by western land use restrictions: “In fact, our production is declining. In part, that’s because we made a decision as a country — you and I might not have agreed with it — but, basically, we’ve taken large chunks of the country and put it off limits to any kind of exploration or development… Large parts of the Rocky Mountain West are off limits.” But EWG’s analysis of government records shows that the U.S. government has, in fact, given the oil and gas industry broad access to public land for drilling, since 1982 offering for drilling 229 milion acres in 12 western states, an area greater than the combined size of Montana, Utah, and Wyoming.

McCain’s handlers whined about “sexist” criticism of Palin, like when it was pointed out that she lied about not supporting the “Bridge to Nowhere” and when her various scandals were exposed.
it’s the height of hypocrisy for them to whine about Obama playing the “victim” card just because he takes exception to the smear campaign the Republicons are running.

Jewel: “Why does Obama call women ‘sweetie’?”
Oh that’s a good one. But forces me to ask, why does McCain call women ‘trollope’ and a four-letter word I won’t write?

Hmmm it’s gotten kind of quiet all of sudden. Is this starting to make any sense? Are you finally seeing the truth here? Are you going to continue to sell your country out to big corporations that export our jobs overseas? You know why no one is stopping illegal immigration? Corporations. Cheap labor. Were being sold out people and you are buying the BS. Your Republican leadership doesn’t give dam about you. They are their to serve their own self interests and you keep buying into their propaganda. Do you think anyone would allow oil companies to drill in Anwar unless the price of gas was so high? Who controls the price of gas? They need some BS reason to get you all to agree to drill there. Same BS reasons they gave you for getting into Iraq? They keep making this stuff up as they go and it’s getting ridiculous. We’ve lost your trust McCain, McCain even said it in his RNC speech. And you think you can trust him? Give me a break.

To be continued some other time,
Best wishes to all

If Congress approved development in 2008, it would take 10 years for oil production to commence, EIA said. With production starting, then, in 2018, EIA said the most likely scenario is that oil would peak at 780,000 barrels per day in 2027 and decline to 710,000 barrels per day in 2030. Currently, the United States consumes about 20 million barrels of oil per day.
EIA said its projection is that ANWR oil production would amount to 0.4 percent to 1.2 percent of total world oil consumption in 2030. The figure is low enough that OPEC could neutralize any price impact by decreasing supplies to match the additional production from Alaska, EIA noted

I know how. Get the numb nut, lame brains out of the White House and get out of Iraq. Forget about helping other Countries. You know how to help other countries, you strengthen the US. Their economies suffer when our economy suffers. You know why the Media keeps saying this is a historic election? Because they know if the idiot voters of this country keep voting a Republican in there, we are in huge trouble. I got to give the media a lot of credit, for trying not to be too biased, but it’s not bias, it’s simple common sense. They know what’s going on. They’re just not allowed to say much or they’ll seem too biased. Then they’ll come under attack from the Right. Refuse to give them interviews. Boycott their station. It’s all political. They use their power to manipulate what goes out over the TV. That’s what makes the internet so great. They can’t stop the truth from getting out anymore.

Prez:
How do you like the polls being even steven for the two presidential candidates? Are you going to whine, or are your claws going to come out? Or, are you going to act like Annie Oakley with a six shooter? Or, does Obama feel the same way he felt about the alienated Hillary supporters, “They’ll get over it!” lolololol I am loving it!

Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla called Obama Unpatriotic 24 hours after this pience was written.
