McCain’s New Line: “That’s Not Country First; That’s Obama First”

Report from the campaign field. I am in Wisconsin today which is now a toss up state. The McCain group I belong to left Chicago early this morning at 6am and now we are in Lacrosse area. We have registered 472 republicans so far and that is just the ones i am counting. I have been talking to people and no one is for Obama, most feel that he is full of bull. This is very encouraging. One voter said the polls are misleading the only people who answer them tend to be Obama supporters. She said that when Obama went down in the polls his camp sent more BOTS out. She feel that he may nit carry Wisconsin.

Let’s see. The Republicans have been responsible for making sure deregulation was the lay of the land, and it’s now Obama’s fault? I think we should look at McCain’s role in the Keating 5 scandal, and see who really put his country first.

Wow. John McCain looks like he’s aged twenty years in the past week….
Not good.

Obama’s statement will soon be:
-”That’s not the Raines I knew for 20 years”

Obama has always put himself first. Everything he has done has been to further his political career. Although a Democrat, who was open to his candidacy at the beginning of the primaries, I have been totally turned off by his blatant and insufferable arrogance, including his “presidential” seal, tour abroad, Mt. Olympus convention speech and especially his Messiah claims – “We are the ones you’ve been waiting for.” And all this from a man who has ties to criminals, domestic terrorists and a 20+ year relationship with a racist, anti-American minister, whose sermon inspired the title of Obama’s own book.
And yes, I’m a Hillary supporter who will vote for John McCain, a man who does put country first.

Rednecks for Obama – It’s true, all right. We are also signing up people in Louisiana right and left. Going to Oklahoma next. People are on fire for McCain/Palin and I say “thank God.”

McCain works weekends now? He must be really desperate!

Monday:
McCain “our economy is fundamentally strong”
Tues:
McCain “our economy is fundamentally weak.”
THROW THE BUMS OUT!

if McCain actually put country first, he wouldn’t have picked Palin, and he wouldn’t be willing to gamble health care on the stock market
also that Keating Five thing.
McCain: Winning First, Country Second, Integrity last.

James:
I would think your claim that millions of democrats are voting for McCain is high by a factor of 10 (or more).

McCain’s VP pick showed that he could not care less about our national security.
That outrageously irresponsible pick was the exact opposite of putting “country first.”

The higher Obama climbs in the polls, the more ridiculous republicans become. The thought of republicans loosing the election is driving them bonkers. McCain is going to loose and there is nothing they can do about it.

His son quit don’t you read the news.MCCain has nothing anymore poor Palin is loosing her wow the ride is over so now what?????

There are 117 lobbyists on Palin/Mccain’s campaign who are holding McCain hostage. Forcing him to use desperate slogans, lying commercials and crazy-old-man speeches. Reporters have a duty to storm the curtain on his campaign plane and free McCain from his captors.

Do you people understand that McCain is assuming you are stupid? that this line of his is nothing more than a slogan to make you ignore the fact that this crises was the inevitable conclusion to the GOP philosophy of deregulation? The GOP philosophy towards business is equivalent to removing the brakes from a car but claiming that it is still safe because you have an air bag and a seat belt.

good for mccain! this is exactly what the obama campaign is about-OBAMA!
he only thinks about his political future and his donors. he does not care about the working class of america. what has he even done for the AA community? bill and hillary has done more for them than obama EVER will.

Jake –
Bet he stayed up all night coming up with that line. ;)
How do you think the Contingencies magazine article that he wrote this month, is going to play now?
Penny

another red flag saying
same team
same tactics
same results
going for a 9th year.

Palin/McCain sure are good with the quick zingers, I sure wish they were as good for the country that they’re so “first” about. What a couple of deceitful liars they’ve become. Did either EVER possess principles or have they just been fooling people for years?
I’d say no based on what we’ve seen lately, Fear and Smear, ole John is teaching Sarah everything he knows.

fake dl
how about this one it’s simpler…
“McCain Palin
the trillion dollar team”
Mccain Keating “S & L” and deregulation
1 TRILLION
Mccain Bush “Iraq War”
2 TRILLION
Mccain Gramm deregulation (again ugh)
3 TRILLION
each time he makes a speech about the mistakes made…
How much exactly is this tuition for this schooling he has us paying for?
How many trillions does a politician need to be involved in losing us before we say
“aahhh, yeah you don’t get the keys to the economic engine”
same team
same tactics
same results
throw these bums out.

I’m a Republican. There, I’ve said it. Trouble is…after watching John McCain and Sarah Palin, I’ve come to this one, incredibly troubling conclusion: I don’t believe a thing either of them says. How anyone can, at this point, even consider John McCain or Sarah Palin is beyond me. How a single American can put any credence in her so-called “foreign policy” experience or readiness…or his claim to be a “reformer”…the two of them disgust me. I could care less about the Party. I need America to survive. Obama-Biden ’08.

What we have witnessed this political year is so sad. The person who should be on the way to leading this country, is out. So now the American Political Horizion is dimming, We are on the Titanic, and we are being asked to choose between going down holding on to a red deck chair or a blue deck chair.
obama nor mccain will be able to get us out of this mess.

Putting country first could be an apt description of Barack Obama’s whole career. He was on the ground, helping people laid off from the steel mill shutdowns while director of the Developing Communities project (June 1985 to May 1988), “a church-based community organization originally comprising eight Catholic parishes in Greater Roseland (Roseland, West Pullman, and Riverdale) on Chicago’s far South Side” [ Wikipedia]
Do we want John McCain, a captive to and creature of Washington DC, someone who calls the Washington lobbyists “his staff”? Or do we want someone who give up high paying opportunities (as a magnum cum laud grad of Harvard university and president of the Harvard law review) to work for laid off workers?

McCain’s campaign folks don’t even try to hide the fact that they lie….. they freely admit it on TV !

Samantha, really…. Why don’t we just cut to the chase and blame Obama for every social ill and criminal activity in this counry? That would save a lot of time and a lot of blogging. Do you really want a recitation of the ties and resulting favors of the over 100 lobbyists in the McCain campaign? Not to mention the assorted entanglements such as the Keating 5, pill stealing by his wife, etc. from his past? Oh but I forgot, you guys have already conceded the issues to Obama. All you have left are the whispers and innuendos, smoke screens, and lies, while you hope the American people are stupid and not paying close attention.

Tell me how to vote. McCain definitely has strength on strategic positioning of the U.S. defense posture. However, neither candidate has a goon’s idea about the economy, they are both just madly yelping.
I used to think Biden had some sense, but as I’ve watched him in this contest, he’s just a babbling idiot, sort of like Kramer on Seinfeld. And Sarah Palin is sort of like Elaine from Seinfeld-she definitely has good hair, but that’s where it stops. God save us all. This election has turned into a Seinfeld episode. It’s an election about nothing.
Hillary Clinton/Larry David 2008

Look at his VP pick. Country first I think not Senator McCain. Jaded and reckless at best I’m afraid.
Guess he’d rather talk about Obama than the issues.

2nfer – you want to blame the last two years of a barely dem controlled congress for the 30 years of deregulation, and 6 years of ownership society wherein Bush told banks to start doing 100% financing or else. That is delusional. This is GOP policy at work. Plain and simple.

Seriously? From McCain? The guy who put his country last with his farcical pick for VP? From the single foremost ego-driven political celebrity in this nation? What a dishonorable liar.

Obama is willing to surrender in Iraq
and willing to inflame racial tensions and start a race war in order to get elected.
McCain: Country First
Obama: Me First

It took Obama days to meet with his advisers to determine what could be done about the financial crisis. The results — blame, blame blame. And claim credit for saying something he never said in the first place.
Obama fiddles while Rome burns!

By the time Obama stops stammering and stuttering, someone else has already solved whatever problem is at hand.
Obama – Mister ultra-shallow!

Hillary Supporters:
You say you are now for Obama, but the reasons why you doubted him and despised his hateful supporters are still there. They still bash Hillary.
He still is weak, arrogant, and has a shady past.
If you can see past some of the issues and vote for a proven past, integrity, character then McCain is the best choice.
When you get in that booth on Nov.4th
remember–if Obama loses Hillary will run again in 2012.

Actually I see Sara Palin more as Sue Ellen Mischke!
But anyway, I haven’t heard anything about Hilton/Rihanna getting out of the election yet…

“He still is weak, arrogant, and has a shady past.”

anyone know what the chief community organizer actually accomplished while he was organizing whatever it was he was organizing?

It took nearly 12 years of a Republican led Congress and eight years of Republican led White House to destroy America’s once booming economy. McCain’s solution is to fired the head of the SEC and blame Wall Street, ifnoring the fact that his chief economic advisor (Phil Gram) was the root cause of the problem. Obama takes a day to talk with the leading financial wizards alive today and he gets slammed. Personally, I would rather have someone informed making decisions than someone who admits now knowing anything about economics.

first off your remarks are completely untrue, and also mccain has never said that he knows “nothing” about economics… lol i love how words just get twisted and thrown around from the left

Looking at the history of Obama’s campaigns and the way in which this one was conducted, the smears of Clinton, and now the smears of Palin, the thuggery in the caucuses and now sending his supporters out to ‘get in the face of neighbors’, the protestations “families are off limits” but evidently that only includes Michelle, it’s easy to see Obama’s values put Obama first. His supporters bought into it and that has promoted an atmosphere of ‘anything to win’ including thuggery and breaking Federal law. Obama says nothing.
It’s just too easy to see but people see what they want and if he is it, he will be POTUS. Then we’ll pay the piper.

“Palin has no national experience, no foreign policy experience”

McCain more of the same LIES!

Thx dl

If I were the McCain campaign I would try to change the subject too. This week has highlighted a fundamental difference in policies. McCain has supported deregulation throughout his career and now he reaps what he sowed.

Comments suggesting that McCain is desperate or panicked are amusing. The fact is–this race is incredibly close and no one has any idea who is going to win on November 4th. That is not where it should be. With the credit and housing market collapse, Bush’s rock bottom ratings and an unpopular war, the Democrats should be ahead by double digits. Yet the RCP poll of polls has the race within a couple of points. If Obama can’t pull ahead after the news this week, his prospects are not great. I suspect McCain is far from panicked at this point. He too has got to be surprised at how strong his prospects are looking at this point. Remember, this was supposed to be a blowout….

Obama – part of the problem, not the solution!

Better to write in HRC’s name than to vote for the shallow one! At least you’d be voting for the good of the country instead of the good of the empty suit!

Maccain First, Country Last.

Obama spends his own contributors money on presidential seals, 6-million dollar stadium venues, dozens of rock bands and sizable allocations to super-delegates who were bribed into voting against their own states electorate.
Obama — Ugh!

Truth08 Who caused the current geopolitical and economic crises? Bush/McCain. I question deeply John McCain’s ability to recognize the Constitution on sight, let alone promise to defend it. Which is what the President swears to do. Put the Constitution first. I would wager John McCain has not read the Constitution outside of a classroom. I’m guessing Sarah Palin has not read more than the preamble and maybe the bill of rights once or twice.

“Palin has no national experience, no foreign policy experience”

McCain’s got one thing right…
OBAMA’s COMING IN FIRST!

[Obama's] “relentless volunteer dedication to his community.”

James,
I know you are PUMA.
YOu just hate obama that’s why you can vote for anyone but Obama,
What a poor choice!

“She has lied repeatedly about her credentials.”

Mr. America community organizer best characteristics are:
- demagogic
- egocentric
- self-centered
- selfish
- ignorant
- indecisive
- trickster
- charlatan
Who are his friends? Tony Reszko, Bill Ayers, Rev. Wright, James Johnson, etc. A person is known by the people he´s surrounded.
And about his speech an political views:
´I can tell you I have no idea of any issue but change, though nobody knows what this change consists of´

Putting our country first could mean not exporting domestic energy. Could someone like Belle explain what Sarah Palin meant when she was asked if she supported such a ban and gave this answer (it’s on CNN) “Of course, it’s a fungible commodity and they don’t flag, you know, the molecules, where it’s going and where it’s not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first. So, I believe that what Congress is going to do also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it’s Americans who get stuck holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It’s got to flow into our domestic markets first.”

A tenants’ rights organization, huh?
Too bad Obama had no concern for the residents of Tony Rezko’s slumlord housing projects….
Why do you only report the good stuff??

Stephen from Indiana,
If you want to talk about charcter,
how about Maccain who dumped his sick wife for cindy?

independent,
I also respected Maccain until july…. Now, i have only symphathy for this old man.

By chosing Palin, McCain placed politics before Country?
By chosing Biden, Obama placed Country before politics. He choose someone who could lead on day one.
And judging from the recent poll the American people know this.

When Maccain picked Palin, I made the comment below:
Maccain First, Country Last

Remember what the candidate of hope says:
Get into the face of your neighbors and argue if they disagree with me.
Smiling nice guy on the outside.
Instigating Chicago thug on the inside.

Barack Obama (dba “World Citizen”) replaced the flag on the rudder of his aircraft to his logo, that’s Obama First

Palin is a member of the Alaska Independence Party, the party whose only platform is for Alaska to secede from the US! Like her partner in crime, Grandpa McCain, she is not country first. In her case, it is Alaska first!
McCain/Palin: The 2008 also-rans!

sickawashington..
no way!!!!!! lets just continue to blame everything on bush for the last eight years, nd use that platform to voting for obama!!!! what idiot actually thinks the idiot left in congress is to blame for all the mess that has erupted in the last two years?! its all about obama.

just like Bush & Cheney
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s husband has refused to testify in the investigation of his wife’s alleged abuse of power, and key lawmakers said Thursday that uncooperative witnesses are effectively sidetracking the probe until after Election Day.
Todd Palin, who participates in state business in person or by e-mail, was among 13 people subpoenaed by the Alaska Legislature. Palin’s lawyer sent a letter to the lead investigator saying Palin objected to the probe and would not appear to testify on Friday. . . .
Ignoring a legislative subpoena is punishable by a fine up to $500 and up to six months in jail under Alaska law.

During his very short tenor as a US Senator, I feel that Obama has been affected by the ways of Washington already, despite his lying rhetoric to the American public.

Why has’t Oduma pounched on this opportunity to tell America how HE would fix the financial crisis? Could it be that he and his legions of advisers don’t have a clue?
C’mon Oduma, you won’t be able to tax us into oblivion so you can give to the poor (and we know what people he means by “poor”) unless you offer one of your heaven-sent solutions to the problem.

Belle Starr, dl, and the like spread fear and rumor because they have nothing else. McCain leads his followers with distractions such as this little tag line, because he wants to take the focus off of his record and the economy.

you know, instead of just comming in here and getting your agression out by bashing mcccain and palin, why dosent somone actually tell me why they are voting for obama versus why they AREN’T voting for mccain?! i mean at least just tell me because you love the philosophy of raisng taxes or universal healthcare? that you love the welfare system and hate capitalism? or that you want the government to pay for your college tuition? you hate the “evil” oil companies? or that you’re a big fan of karl marx? cmon, something. there has to be a reason. maybe its because you believe in partial birth abortions like mr. obama does? (flat out muder by the way, agreed by republicans AND democrats) jeez, i just wish i could get some answers from the crazy left bloggers on why they actually like this guy??

independant…
but at the same time, they ae bashing her for running for office and trying to raise a family too… lol “my god, how can you be the v.p AND raise a family??!!” ahhhh, then they accuse mccain of being “anti women” because he didnt vote for “womens equal rights : legislation.. its just laughable…

Tim: Reason #1 I will vote for Obama.
He knew early on the war with Iraq was a bad idea and all of the bad things he predicted would result from it have indeed happened. Reason # 2. He supports reforming our health care system with a plan which will work rather than giving it the same deregulated opportunities of our banking system, which McCain proposed this month.

tim,
I am voting for Obama because he has the ability to think and analyze before shooting from the hip. We don’t need another impulsive leader like George W. Bush. (see Palin pick, see the “fundamentals of the ecconomy are strong”).
I am voting for Obama because he understands that government should play a role in certain aspects of the democracy such as regulation of financial institutions. McCain has supported the deregulation that has brought this county to a near melt down.
I’m advocating for Obama because of people like you who support their party blindly regardless of the outcome or current state of affairs.

Obama – the candidate of those who like to eat BS three times a day!

Country first over here is seen as code for white guy first is that how its taken over there ????
This new spin:
“That’s Not Country First; That’s Obama First”
on it makes it seem even more like thats what it means.
Country first would be to vote for the man who’s campaign is paid for by the people. For the guy offering tax cuts to middle America..
Good luck to all the Obama supporters the world is on your side.
Vote on the issues not on the BS.
Good luck people vote smart!
Be the good country you guys used to be.
with lov from Australia.

tim,
I am voting for Obama because he has the ability to think and analyze before shooting from the hip. We don’t need another impulsive leader like George W. Bush. (see Palin pick, see the “fundamentals of the ecconomy are strong”). When he was “thinking and analyzing this week,” others were solving the Wall Street problems that his Fannie Mae supporters created.
I am voting for Obama because he understands that government should play a role in certain aspects of the democracy such as regulation of financial institutions. McCain has supported the deregulation that has brought this county to a near melt down. In 2005 McCain tried to get regulations passed … guess which group said “NO?”
I’m advocating for Obama because of people like you who support their party blindly regardless of the outcome or current state of affairs. I would tell you what group I think you are blindly supporting, but that’s a whole different subject.

vanessa…
wow. ok, joe biden, along with john mccain, are washington insiders.. lol you can spin it anyway you want, but if you have been there as long as the two of them have been, you are an insider. im voting for mccain, and im fully admitting he is an insider. thats just washington. you cant survive there that long without playing the game. and playing the game means, doing things that you dont want to do sometimes. plain and simple. that being said, joe biden just happens to be a far left insider and mccain isnt. thas the only reason im voting for mccain. im a conservative, and i will ALWAYS vote for the closest thing to a conservative when it comes to election time. but dont be fooled and think that joe biden is “above” washington. he’s not. comparing how many houses you have is not justifiable. you cant use the “Real guy” analogy for biden and then not say that sarah palin isnt “more real” because she is a hockey mom who is relatively new on the scene. it just dosent work both ways. we have to vote on how they feel about the issues and not for these petty, media driven issues.

Obama: Long after others have made tough decisions, he’ll come along with his and they’ll be nothing but mud-slinging.
Obama – the choice of the entitled!

dl, Belle Starr, tim, Concerned in OH, beebop… the folks that brought you George W. Bush twice.

The shortest book in the library:
Accomplishments of community organizers.

re: warm tunnels….
you seem like someone with vast experience in those matters from your posts
lies… lies & even more lies………
McCain campaign manager Rick Davis paid several hundred thousand dollars to lobby for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac against federal regulation
What did Rick Davis know and when did he know it? Actually, we already know. Wasn’t so relevant in February when it was written. It is now. McCain’s campaign manager’s previous job was ensuring that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac didn’t get regulated by the feds:
Davis, was president of the Homeownership Alliance, a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac-led advocacy group which has tried to fend off regulation sought by large private banks and mortgage lenders.

Country first ? Or McCain first?
It is worth pointing out the following excerpt from Senator McCain’s Book
“Worth the Fighting For: A Memoir” (2002):
“I didn’t decide to run for President to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be President because it had become my ambition to be President. I was sixty-two years old when I made the decision and I thought it was my one shot at the prize.”

Community organizers are actually the only ones that have made a difference in Louisiana and Mississippi.
Community organizers are the ones that help people in your neighborhood so that government doesn’t have to.
I thought that community organizers were the “thousand points of light” that Bush Sr. was talking about.
Hmmm. Seemed like a hit when the Republicans were actually for something instead of against everything.

samantha
keep dreaming

bee bop..
ok. at least you had the balls to speak up. first off, why do you say mccain shoots from the hip?! you instantly make the typical comparison to bush which is sooo old already. mccain warned 3 years ago of the ineviteble downfall of freddie and fannie. there is a difference between regulaton and government intervention. dont automatically assume that mccain is against any government regulation, its just not true. the case that obama “thinks and analyzes” before he speaks is pointless. its WHAT COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH that is important. and, typically, because i come in here speaking against obama, you automatically assume that im a republican. im not. im a conservative. im sickenedby the republicans as of late as well. ill point out their downfalls as quick as a democrats. you lump it all together with the “blinded” supporter comment like you actually believe it is all one party or the others fault!!! THEY ARE BOTH TO BLAME. its just that i still hold my conservative values and thus i will still lean towards voting republican (even if they arent doing the best job lately) and i definately dont agree with most democrats view on the issues. but i have enough common sense, and information that i would NEVER blame just one party or the other. this democratic controlled congress has had over 2 years to show me and PROVE to me they have leadersgip that i could vote for. they have actually found a way to go backwards and make me hate them even more. they have done nothing to advance our government in a positive way. no real ideas. no new ideas. and alot of politcs in order to get votes. they have slowed progress with ridiculous bills that have no chance (intentionally) of getting passed to make it look like the other sides fault. they have shut the lights off and taken vacations while we the people are going through crisis after crisis. a vote for obama will only worsen that. i cant vote for “more of the same”.

LOL dl.
Look who has the assertions with absolutly NO FACTS. Look in the mirror and say to yourself, “I am better off today than I was four years ago”.
Did you bust out laughing or crying?

bee bop..
sorry, my last post should have been for “for tim” and not you. my fault.. lol

The American Public has been deceived!
Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, just perpetrated an unbelievable deception on the American people. On Monday, she submitted H.R. Bill 6899 to Congress and demanded a vote take place within 24 hours. On Tuesday evening, 221 Democrats and 15 Republicans passed this bill “the Comprehensive American Energy Security and Consumer Protection Act”. This allows drilling in those areas where there is no oil and extends the moratorium on domestic drilling where there is oil.
I don’t know about you but I’ve had it with Democratic Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama. They are trying to perpetuate “changes” that will hurt Americans without the approval of the people of this country. Obama took huge amounts of money from Fannie Mae, Obama’s close friend Jim Johnson, CEO, of Fannie May was selected as his advisor to determine the next Vice President of the US. Obama has received 9.9 million from securities and investment firms. Obama has looked the other way at the entire sub-prime mortgage lending problems all the while taking money, and just took more money, money and money. Now Obama expresses grief to home owners—maybe he just didn’t know what was going on. Maybe his judgment is blind when it comes to truthfulness.

McCains healthcare plan..?
make it just like Wall Street….
Mission Accomplished

Obama feeds off of the demands of those who think they’re owed a living.

LIES, CORRUPTION, INCOMPETENCE.
McCain/Palin = BRIDGE TO NOWHERE

If 30% of white Democrats are racist for not voting for Obama
are the 95% of AA not voting for McCain also being called racist?
Funny but I don’t see any articles calling AA racist because they won’t vote for the white candidate.

tim
One of Obama’s two authored bills in the US Senate was to name a post office. Does that count?

mccain the great leader
blaims obama for the crisis, after months and months of saying he hasnt been in washington long enough, now hes to blame for this? LOL
Mccain says obama is getting advised by Reins, but according to everyone except the mccain camp that is an all out lie.
Now whats really funny is that Mccain calls obama out for this, and it turns out to not be true, but there mccain is
hanging with
PHIL GRAMM = the guy who wrote the deregulation laws, that mccain supported that has caused this crisis
RICK DAVIS = Mccains campaign manager lobbied on behalf of freddie and fannie to side step federal regulation
CHARLIE BLACK = mccain top policy advisor was a lobbyist for freddie for ten years
so, lets see mccain accuses obama for having a tie to freddie and fannie and it turns out to be false
and mccain is the one with the ties
and mccain claims its obamas fault for the deregulation
when in fact its mccain who has touted his status as a deregulator and championed phil gramm and his economic views
yea, right, obamas the reason for this mess
mccain, whats that all over your hands… You are GUILTY!

dl
First his plan is to lower the costs of health care thus rates will be lowered.
Health It investment to reduce the unnecessary and wasteful spending in the Health Care system. Examples include extra hospital stays because of preventable medical errors and dulpications of expensive procedures and tests.
Improving prevention and management of chronic conditions.
Increasing insurance industry competition and reining in the abusive practices of monopoly insurance and drug companies.
Providing reinsurance for catostrphic cases which will reduce premiums and
Ensuring every American will reduce spending on the uncompensated care of uninsuredpeople who end up in teh emergency rooms and whos care is picked up by institutions and then passed on to their insured individuals.
This plan will realize tremendous savings within the health care system to help finance the plan. The additional revenue needed for the up-front investments to fund the technology and to help people that an not afford health care is more than covered by allowing ther Bush tax cuts to expire for people making more than 250,000 dollars a year.

tim, you are voting republican because you always vote republican. just guessing? party first?

dl and tim,
Rational and logical is not your strong suit.
Thanks for the fun, now I am off to canvass for Barack Obama and turn my state blue.

ok then…
lol not at all actually. how can i make this any more clear for you? i am a conservative. therefore, i USUALLY vote republican because they tend to be more conservative. hello, is this thing on?! i know, its rocket science right?! if the dems would have been smart and given me a canidate who wasnt a left wing socialist and an old washington liberal tyo choose from, i probaly would have given it a thought at least.

OBAMA FIRST is exactly what OBAMA is about … !!!
And America better be smart enough to KNOW that OBAMA is NOT the PERSON who will fix any of these economic problems we face today. OBAMA KNOWS NOTHING OF THE ECONOMY AND IS TAKING THE PRESENT VOTE even at this time … NOT WANTING TO DETAIL HIS APPROACH CAUSE HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT HOW TO APPROACH THE PROBLEM. CLINTON IS RIGHT … HILLARY WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER TO HANDLE THIS PROBLEM THAN OBAMA CAN EVER HOPE TO BE.
I WILL CAST MY VOTE WITH THE MCCAIN/PALIN TICKET … AT LEAST PALIN HAS GOVERNED A STATE WITH A 80% APPROVAL RATING . SHE HAS BALANCED BUDGETS, SUPERVISE DEPARTMENTS … AND SHE IS JUST THE VP CANDIDATE …
OBAMA HAS DONE NOTHING NEAR TO THAT AND HE WANTS TO BE YOUR PRESIDENT??
IF AMERICA VOTE OBAMA AS PRESIDENT, WE ARE A NATION OF PINHEADS TO THE REST OF THE WORLD AND RIGHTFULLY SO THEN.
ARE WE A NATION OF PINHEADS ?? VOTE COUNTRY FIRST AND NOT OBAMA FIRST if we DO NOT WANT TO BE VIEWED AS A NATION OF PINHEADS …

McCain is hardly in the position to declare Obama is putting the country second. Look at his choice of VP…He couldn’t win with what he brings to the country, so he brings in Palin knowing that the American public has less interest in issues and more interest in entertainment. I doubt McCain even knows enough about his running mate who has taken to saying “Palin-McCain adimistration”. Why then, are people not taking a closer look at what Palin brings to Washington.
As his “energy expert” Palin proposes to ban the export of oil from the US. WHAT. I thought the extent to which we bring oil into the country is the problem. If banning exports is the way to solve this problem…why worry about drill…drill…drill?
And how about Palin attacking Biden for saying paying taxes is patriotic. I suppose it is ok for China, Russia, and oil exporting nations (Alaska is not included in this since they have not seceded yet) own 30.1% of the national debt as of July 2008.. I hate to think what they will own after we borrow to pay for last weeks market meltdown.
And let’s not forget Palin’s values on women and children issues. As the McCain campaign stated…it was because the Commissioner of Public Safety was seeking more money to deal with the child sexual abuse and rape problems in Alaska. Rape in Alaska is 2.3 times the national average and child sexual abuse is reported to be 6 times the national average. I guess McCain thought Palin’s action was great because Palin to bold action on pork barrel spending. This is just an outrage and the Republican Party should be ashamed for permitting Palin on the ticket for this action alone.
And let’s think about Palin’s fiscal responsibility. Palin comes into the mayor’s office in a city that starts with a budget surplus and leaves the city MILLIONS of dollar in debt. That is a city with a population, of what, 6700. Just think of what the Palin administration can do with the US population of 280 million plus. This transition from surplus to debt sounds familiar.
Now combine that with Palin’s running mate (John McCain). McCain has always considered himself an advocate of deregulation and has acted on deregulation. His name is on numerous bills that deregulated the banking industry. He has reformed and reformed and reformed during his so many years in the Senate. So it is true he is a reformer..but, it seems he has helped reform America into fiscal disaster.
Combine his foreign expertise (bomb..bomb Iran – did he really think the loss of life associated with that was funny…) along with Palin’s (I can see Russia from my window) and we have a winning combination of arrogance and incompetence that will deal with the global problems that surround us.. Sound familiar?
So with the Palin-McCain admisinistration (Palin’s words not mine), we will solve energy by banning exports of what we import, let rape and child molestation run rampant because trying to solve it is pork barrel spending, get the fox into the hen house as a solution to solving the problems with deregulation, and let China, Russia, and those oil exporting nations own more of us because Americans paying for what they want is not patriotic.
…And as the Palin-McCain administration takes the oath of office in January 2009…we can all proudly wave those small American flags blind to the fact they were made in China as surely as the fireworks we shoot off on the 4th of July.
To paraphrase a famous comic strip character “We have met the enemy..and it is us”.

Obama shooting up further in the polls today, leaving McCain in the dust. Now 50-44 for Obama, the biggest lead yet.
http://www.gallup.com
Just 2 weeks ago, McCain was up by 6, now Obama up by 6. 12% of the country has shifted its vote since learning of Sarah Palin and the consequences of a republican in the white house.

Well tim,
that is the first thing you have written that makes any sense.
Let’s just say that Republicans are voting for Barack Obama because it is the position of most Republicans to hae responsible government. Fiscally resposible. Well, Bush has not given us that and McCain doesn’t know anything about the economy, in his words, and he thinks that our economy is fundimentally strong. We are in financial meltdown. Susan Eisenhower has stated that she is voting for Barack Obama. Republican. Colin Powell has stated that Barack Obama being elected would be electrifying. Republican. Chuck Hagel seems to like working with Barack Obama. Republican.

Oh tim.
I lost you?
Well then, therein lies the entire problem.

So, what would be the monthly tab that Obama is promising? Inquiring minds want details – not hype.
PS: The average cost for a decent medical policy today is about $1,000/month. Where does Obama say the money will come from? He’s already promised more than the revenue that will be generated from his ‘tax on the wealthy’.
Come on — some answers please!

No one asked Bush where the money would come from for his war. I’m sure we’ll have some extra funds when we’re out of Iraq.
Do you think the Govt will pay for everyone ? I can afford my own health care policy…

You forgot about how many times the republicans have Fila busted the senate over the last 2 years. They have stopped more legislation in two years then the democrats did since the republicans took control of congress in ’94. You are so wrong about your conclusions.

I love polls outside the .US . I compare their view to a bad relationship.
When you’re in a bad relationship you are blind to what’s going on inside it. It’s your friends that see you in this relationship and have to open your eyes up to what’s really going on. Then when you finally break it off you see everything they saw that was bad.
Bush/GOP = Bad Relationship
Everyone outside the USA looking in = Our friends trying to open our eyes
No wonder they like Obama, they’ve seen how badly the GOP has screwed us the past 8 years.
OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE

martin your comment shows you have no grasp of whats going on right now
the republicans want less government, and thats how we got into this mess
they deregulated the market phil gramm wrote the law, he is the guy who has mccain ear on the economy
the republicans the last 8 years have finally got what htey always wanted completely control to run the government how they have always wanted to
and look where we are
bush and the republicans have bankrupt america

The Republicans and people like McCain are the ones responsible for our present day crises in the ecomony. They wanted people who could not afford expensive homes to have those homes.

Concerned in OH, is that why McCain has called for more regulation and the head of the SEC chair?

So all of our problems were caused by redlining and the greedy underclass.
SSDD

The post should show that McCain said this yesterday. He doesn’t work weekends.
We know McCain puts Country First so last Sunday he took in a Nascar race the day after Hurricane Ike hit.
Today, the day after the announcement of a $700 billion government bailout, “he’s attending his 50th reunion and taking in a football game with his son at the Naval Academy”, according to Politico’s Jonathan Martin.

Were number 1, were number 1, were number 1, were number 1, were number 1, sounds like a frat beer bash before the football game. McCain and change what a joke do nothing for 22 plus years now he wants change, yea back to Arizona for permant retirement is the change he needs.

I would like to know, if Obama was president, what he would do when he couldn’t just make speeches and vote “present” anymore????
—————————————
Why not vote him in and see : )

Were has McCain proven he has always put Country- before Wall Street first- the last 26 years as a senator???
He lies with ease…the honor is GONE and replaced with a greedy politician.
In McCain’s world Main Street doesn’t count!

And the beauty part is:
OBAMA IS FIRST.
McCAIN IS LAST.
OBAMA = LEADER
McCAIN = LOSER

Samantha – Ditto OHIO!
Most of the guys I work with vote dem regularly – not this time. States are slowly turning red. Rasmussen today calls it even. 48-48. This is not good for dems as Reps usually come on stronger late in campaign.

Temagami
I love boxers! your dog would vote Obama!
Dogs can tell when people are fake! McCain is a phony!

young voter, A tenor? I wouldve taken Obama for a Baritone. Im not sure you know what your talking about.

Obama’s choice of VP is beyond stupid. He is a gambling man. If he would have chosen Hillary, they’d be way up and out of reach in the polls. But no, she might overshadow him…well, she would.
Instead he picks the very man he’s been saying he is against all primary season. A longtime Washington insider who’s beliefs are OPPOSITE of his own. Not to mention he’s a buffoon.

it’s got to be embarrassing for Obama to realize that Palin DOES HAVE MORE EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE THAN OBAMA – A LOT MORE!! OBAMA AND BIDEN PUT TOGETHER HAVE…..NONE, ZIP, NADA!!!!
—————————
Well, almost as embarrassing as saying the ability to see Russia from smoe remote island in Alaska is your national security credential.
Too funny!

Check Again. Rasmussen has traditionally been more on the money than most of the others. I live in Ohio and I think that Obama’s chances here are a stretch. These polls are going to flip around until AfTER the first debate. I also would put Zogby up there pretty close to Rasmussen.

Palin Executive EXPERIENCE:
As mayor of Wasilla a town that was so small it didn’t even have a police force Palin took it from a surplus and left it $33 million in debt!
Palin was a highly polarizing political figure who brought partisan politics and hot-button social issues like abortion and gun control into a mayoral race that had traditionally been contested like a friendly intramural contest among neighbors.
Yeah she sounds great hey ?

Faye Palin is voting for Obama!
Says a lot when the woman Tod Palin calls mom is voting for Obama.

Sam
That’s real special.

When will elitist community organizing stop getting in the way of Republican Socialism? The Liberal Fascists are responsible for the manipulation of truth in this country that I think it’s time to admit that conservative-progressivism is our only hope for the past. And by the past I mean the future.

Can you do some hard reporting about how we ended up in our financial crisis? Of how Bush tried to reform fannie/freddie 5 years ago and the Democrat in charge, Barney Frank, saw no problems?
In 2006, again, McCain called for action. The Democrats didn’t budge.

Jake
I’m not surprised you would take attention to McCain’s blunt words rather than the issues he was talking about.
Corrupt cronyism, inaction, complacency.
Nobama!

Masters of Deceit – The skill of taking one’s opponenents good qualities, steal it and turn it against the other guy. Great example is lib attempt to trash McCain’s military service – even has some PRETEND Viet Nam Vets for Obama – on these sites, (check the spelling of Vietnam). DUMB!!!

a little sense…..Thank god for people like you, who truly care about the country first, and what is to be left to others after we are long gone….as for the women who want to vote for palin just because she is a woman, that is all, …the country needs to realize that many of those women may be lesbians and are not concerned about what is in store for their children or grandchildren, while the rest of us who truly are the watchdogs of the present and also the future care dearly because our kids and thier kids and their kids will be left with mess left to us by uncaring,unthinking people

GOP.
Check your maps. It is vey possibe to see smoke in Siberia (former USSR) from some Island in the strait. SOME OF YOU GUYS ARE AROUND THE BEND!!

Leomard, I missed the “Indiviual Freedom” statement. Really doubtful. Yeah , maybe in the strictest sense, but, the tradeoffs well worth it. More than a few planned attacks against us were exposed and stopped. None of my freedoms have been lost (except legalized theft of my earned money) and, I actually don’t know anyone else who is complaining about loss of freedoms. I think THAT charge against Bush is a stretch.

concerned in OH…actually you referred to sen. bidens son, lobbyist, actually palins son and bidens son will be in iraq at same time , if i read correctly, and at the dnc, his son said he was not a lobbyist anymore. One of mcains lobbyists is close friends with the georgian president, who started the war with ossettia, when he was elected, he swore to get back those territories and he attacked them first, russia defended them, since all these years, it was their preference never to be georgian again, so…..more proof to me that palin/mcain administration, as she billed herself, would represent more undeserved anger and unwise and unprovoked military action against people that we have no business messing with on the basis of what their freinds tell them.

That’s one of the most breathtakingly dishonest and manipulative political speeches I’ve ever heard.
“I know,” said Sen. McCain, “that the events unfolding can be difficult for most people to understand.” Subtext: In fact, I’m counting on it.
He’s counting on people’s inability to understand that Obama did not move into the Senate two years ago with some cronies and engineer an economic crisis whose roots go back decades.
He’s counting on people not to know that the executive branch does not hold the purse strings, much less have the unilateral power to change fiscal policy “immediately.”
His grin at each applause line is not even good showmanship. A carnival huckster with as transparent a face would lose his job.
Ka-ching go the political points, and John McCain grins. That’s not country first, that’s McCain first.
Jake — some analysis of the lies and manipulation, please?

In advertising there is no such thing as a lie – only the expedient exaggeration of the truth. OF ALL PEOPLE, YOU LIBS SHOULD KNOW THAT!!!!

Obama is the nation’s Number One Cheerleader for economic misery, despair and negativity. Just as he whined that his words were being twisted on himearlier in the year, he turns around and does the same to McCain this week. McCain said the economy’s fundamentals were strong. Excuse me people, do we not all agree that the economic principles which this country was founded on have weathered every severe crisis we could encounter. McCain stated the truth and then, like the leader he is and will be, noted the severe pain being fel by Americans. Still…the principles by which our economy is built are sound and resilent.
Obama hopes for a massive Great Depression and refuses to acknowledge anything positive about America.
No thanks…Nobama…keep your change.

Just more garbage from the McCain/Palin “SNOW JOB EXPRESS”. The heavy load of lies these two keep telling is what caused the wheels to fall of the straight talk express.

Just another stupid line by our erant naval idiot McCain who needs a permanent retirement to the Deserts of Arizona.

Was it McCain and the republicans who said that a poor person never created a job? Then can somebody tell me why the republicans are coming to the poor people whose lives were impacted by the greed of the rich? Remember, the rich are those making over 5 million per year.

Earnest.
and you are really comparing Onama to Lincoln? Lincoln had a really GREAT internal value sysyem ingrained to him by his family and community. Sorry, but by Obama’s record, he is just pretty much political hack that got lucky. No, you have a point, but look at Ike? His leadership in the military WAS A GREAT ASSET, no question there. All things being equal, it is better to have leadership experience, much better.

I too am going to my neighbors so that he can follow Obama’s directive and GET IN MY FACE!! NIGHT.

Was it the Obamabots who insisted on Friday night for the debate? That way they can control the reaction of either candidate’s performance for two days through the MSM. Also, It also means there will be fewer viewers. I seem to remember that the only agreement they could get on McCain’s proposal for joint town hall meetings was one (which never came about) on the 4th of July when, of course, nobody would have been watching. Obama’s a coward. Also, re the polls: let’s not forget the Bradley Effect. It could be significant.

If you all want LESS government then vote for McCain, A vote for Obama is a vote in the wrong direction. People are beginning to see Obama for what he really is a fake and a person who doesn’t have a clue. Say what you want about McCain but HE WILL shake things up in D.C. and that needs to be done to have any change take place.

Kind of sad Obama has served what LESS then 2 years in the senate, voted Present over 60% of the time, has a 23 year association with a pastor that preaches hate and disharmony, doesn’t respect the flag of the U.S. Doesn’t value the principles this country was founded on and has a wife that has says she has been embarrassed to be an american until now. Do we really think he is the type person we need to lead this country. If so GOD help us, Obama sure won’t.

Hey everyone listen up, Alot of people voted for change in 2006 by voting the Dems back into control of both houses, where are we are now as a country? High gas prices, high food prices, job less rate going up. Oh I forgot you all blame Bush even though BUSH doesn’t make laws or policy the DEMOCRATIC CONTROLLED CONGRESS AND SENATE DOES!! Guess you all don’t want to think about that huh? I do agree with the dems though yes WE DO NEED CHANGE, put the GOP back in power of both houses.

No, I know she said she wanted to use diplomacy, but the way she put it was quite undiplomatic.
Her understanding of the NATO alliance was like that of a gang “You beat one of ours, and we’ll beat the stuffing out of you,” or like “you shot one of our men! That’s it! Bring in the calvary!” NATO is mainly an alliance for DETERRENCE. The thing is that she didn’t seem to grasp how carefully she must craft her words when talking about sensitive issues such as the strained ties between Russia and the US.
She immediately said “Perhaps so,” to a war, instead of saying “We will do our best to resolve things peacefully, and I certainly hope no such situation will arise. However, if the situation calls for it, I think we should honour our NATO alliance.” Like you said, some people twisted it out of context even though she said some other stuff earlier.
PRECISELY the point. Imagine she is VP of the US. She says “Perhaps so” to a war, and the Russians cut off the rest and keep boradcasting her “perhaps so” so what would the other Russians think? Or even if they showed the whole thing, many people would preceive her as being aggressionist. Her phrasing and thinking is such that it makes it all-too easy for people to misconstrue her words on such serious issues.

Dumb Quote of the Century: > >
‘My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the> history of the > world. I hope you’ll join with me as we try to> change it.’ > > – Barack Obama

And about Michelle Obama’s proud to be an American, what was she referring too?
She was ashamed, not of the American people, but the way the government had behaved in the past eight years. America’s standing had been dragged down, and many people have come to hate America and feel that America is an imperialist oppressor. Bush’s admin’s record of imprisoning people of other countries without trial, while we proclaim ourselves to be a shining beacon of human rights and freedom. The HR abuses in Iraq, by the private contractors hired by the govt.

I know you all dont agree with me, that’s cool, doesn’t matter if you do or dont’ but I will let everyone know this information and more that I have from now until the election. Some will agree some won’t that’s the way it is. If calling me names makes you feel better then keep going, but I won’t stop. Obama is wrong for this country period!!!!!

Al,
the reason we disagree with you is because all those stuff is not true. If you disagreed with say, Obama’s take that we shouldn’t try to negotiate with Iran, that’s fine, you see it differently. But all these things such as whether he’s patriotic isn’t true. Obama spent time talking to the soldiers (not just the generals) in Iraq. You can find photographs. I am sure he could not go to all the trouble to doctor them without being called out on it.

I am not saying everything is true, I am only posting what has been sent to me by a person with close ties to this stuff. I will say though that concerning the post I sent concerning Obamas visit to IRAQ and Afghanistan and how he dissed the troops I’ve heard that more then once from people who were actually there. Disgusting, as a politician Republican or Democrat you ALWAYS visit the ones in harms way and the generals very rarely ARE NOT in the front lines. Say what you want Obama lost me there and won’t get me back I have already changed my vote.

When will elitist community organizing stop getting in the way of Republican Socialism? The Liberal Fascists are responsible for the manipulation of truth in this country that I think it’s time to admit that conservative-progressivism is our only hope for the past. And by the past I mean the future.

Al,
Anybody can claim to be close to the issues if they back it up with reams of information.
That doesn’t mean the information is true.
The hard thing, and what most Americans are unwilling to take the time to do is
to find the truth for yourself. I’m not going to claim the Obama is a Saint,
but when the slander gets so deep that it is inconceivable someone could get where they are after 12 years of public scrutiny, well,.. it probably isn’t true.

That’s unfortunate indeed, Leonard Peltier.
If you insist on going by that, Al, what about McCain and the Keating 5? Or perhaps his moral character based on his having an affair with Cindy while his first wife was crippled in a car accident? Or Palin’s subjecting her pregnant daughter to the scrutiny of 300million people, and more from around the world?
Joe Biden’s first wife and daughter died in a car accident. His sons were critically injured too, all on the day he was supposed to be sworn in to the Senate. He stayed at the hospital, and was sworn in by their bedside. Obama insisted on taking his daughters to school on their first day to get settled in, because he knew he wouldn’t get to see them as often once the campaign got underway. His campaign says whenever they have their prayers, he never says “Pray for my campaign” but “Pray for Michelle and the girls”.

Ya’ll just jealous cause Palin can walk, chew gum and give birth all at the same time! Palin was out changeing and reforming the problems in her schools, town, and state while Obama was out whinning and blameing others for the wrongs he saw. Obama still ain’t done nothin’! Vote McCain and Palin the Real Maverick Reformers For A Change!!!

Al
re: “how he dissed the troops I’ve heard that more then once from people who were actually there. ”
and I’ve seen news reporters who were with Obama and say that all that negative stuff is untrue…
so we have a 50/50 proposition:
someone’s told you something, and..
there are news people who were with Obama and say the exact opposite..
for me, I’ll side with the news people… it would be to there advantage to have a major controversy like your suggesting, but, they chose to report what they saw.. I don’t know you or your ‘sources’ or if anything you say is true or accurate.

Who’s the real racist? The 40% of whites who won’t vote for a black man or the 98% of blacks who won’t vote for a white man?

More and more middle Republicans are voting Obama, not because he is Democrat, but because McCain is being led by his Far Right Tycoons. Republicans, like me feel he is letting his lobbiest speak for him, which has been giving McCain a bad rep. He needs to come closer to middle America and fight for a long term American way, and not side with his ‘quick buck’ lobbiests. Even the unions are starting to look at a long term effect, McCain can not support. We are starting to discuss, his non support for education issues at a younger level. It starts when the children are at a young age. Not just in high school. Obama has a support of military families, that want to see their sons and daughters again. Thank you Obama, for giving us a ‘hope’, in America, again.

Nick sez:
Who’s the real racist? The 40% of whites who won’t vote for a black man or the 98% of blacks who won’t vote for a white man?
—————————————-
Um, I think if you dip your toe into history, you’ll find that more than a few blacks had voted for Clinton and likely a few other white men who failed to win the election.
Anyway, if that is your definition of racism then it isn’t something that you don’t understand. Make no mistake, I’m white, but I have seen what it is to be a non-white in our society and it involves a lot more than bigoted views on electoral alignment on the basis of race.

According to Nick, Obama will win with 158% compared to McCain 62%. Nick is funny..:)

Nick,
Your comment about blacks not voting for a white man is ridiculous! Do you think a black person has never voted before this election? They have been voting for white men their whole lives! By the way I am a white woman and I will be voting for Obama because he is the best candidate for our country hands down. The color of someone’s skin does not determine their character or their ability. Grow up!!!

McCain is desperate to be a President
Friday, September 19, 2008 John McCain, using his starkest language to date to define the election, told voters Friday that Americans have a simple choice when they cast their ballots in November.“Country first or Obama first,” he said, repeating a new rhetorical barb that he unveiled Thursday night.While the GOP presidential nominee has long made “country first” the motto of his campaign, he usually leaves unstated the implicit message that his rival Barack Obama is not putting national interests above his own ambition.
Who is John McCain?
Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe!
You vote for me.
Or CHAOS!
He support deregulations and then argue about the circus of Wall Street .A person who talk against the Government but he favors the government interference .A person who pick the V-president nominee only after one meeting
What you can say about his judgment? Oh just a minute he said the fundamentals of the economy are strong .Probably he was thinking about the family Business.
Was hilarious to watch Cindy McCain, when Sen. McCain on his speech talks about the big salaries of the CEO’s, and how greedy they are.
What makes a President is the right Judgment. Be cool like cucumber in time of crisis. Not have 7 houses or family business valued at hundred of millions of dollars. Do not necessary have the temper to pick a fight but the temper to fight every day makes life of the community better.
I don’t have any problem in characterizing McCain .He is a Republican! According to his own campaign, Republicans are corrupt and incompetent.
Obviously he has inside information.

Foreclosure,
Urgh, the resemblance is similar, now that you pointed out. The other guy is SOMEONE who is NOT PATRIOTIC! He puts America LAST! He’ll do anything to satisfy his political ambitions! Don’t be fooled, he just wants power and will cause chaos!
You know, that’s what the Afrikaner govt would say about Nelson Mandela. The Africans were just power-hungry, they would do no good for the country, will throw the white men into the sea, blahblah. I think the Afrikaners are still living there, last I checked.
Not comparing Obama to Mandela, Mandela is a great man and his own person, but yeah. Just trying to show the comparison where people try to question their opponent’s patriotism. A truly patriotic person will not have to say such things to show how much he loves his country or how he is a better choice.

FOreclosure,
Aren’t you guys tired of pushing that “John McCain says the fundamentals of the economy are strong” junk? You willfully ignore the rest of his statement on the matter, even the REST OF THAT SENTENCE. McCain made the point that we are having major problems at the moment, and that many in America are suffering because of the economic crisis. However, I agree with him that beneath it all, the bedrock fundamentals of our economic system are strong. We have a talented and skilled work force, innovative entrepreneurship, the most diverse economy in the world, etc. etc. In times of panic, American leaders have traditionally taken care to emphasize that, regardless of the current travails, the American economy is fundamentally strong and will right itself if handled properly. John McCain’s statements are in keeping with this tradition. I find his steadfast leadership reassuring and I know that when he is sworn in in January, he and his economic team will continue the good work being done by Paulson and Bernanke to fix the mess we are in.

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

Ask Bush about Tony Rezko. Mccain used funds from him, during a multi million dollar fundraiser for Bush. McCain even looked forward to his own fundraiser. I did not find any more info, whether or not the 2nd fund raiser took place. So I concede it may not have taken place.

It is really sad once analyze why McCain select Palin for running mate.
The only criterion was how he could win this election despite the best interest of the country and the American Remember ** Governor Romney spent the last year campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination and talking to the American people about the importance of strengthening our economy**
And we are listening Sarah Palin, overconfident untrained rigid and answering with out vacillation
Yes I am ready to be President like that job is similar to a manager position on the local Wall Mart shop.
The same person last month was saying if some can explain to me what the Vice President do?
The financial institutions are bankrupt. The dollar super weak
The military are stressed out dangerously. Factories and jobs move overseas.
Home owners become homeless. The allies are pushed away. The states in the Gulf of Mexico in pieces .The Saudis milking what wealth have left .And Jon McCain worry about the judgment of OBAMA?
The Republican ticket!
John McCain (We bomb everything)
Sarah Palin (I see Russia from my house)
His aged and ambitious
She is young and motivated.
For him is the last chance to be President
For her the last chance to be his cheerleader.
Their story SPIN, LIES and LIPSTICK

Remember also she told Sean Hannity, that she wanted to ask her children first, before saying ‘yes’ to VP. So did she lie to Gibson or did she lie to Hannity. Sean asked her a few ‘Gotcha’ questions. But I am not sure, if even he noticed.

Really? I didn’t notice that!
As the saying goes, if you tell the truth, you don’t need to have good memory. God help us should they win!

Has anyone heard about Palins ‘Road to No-Where’? She still supported a road that was to lead to the bridge, but with no bridge, the road is just there.:)
And she said ‘no’ to the Bridge. This is why I can not go along with her. McCain can still save face for me. Maybe.

Hannity interview with Sarah Palin was full of charm and she looks so confident and savvy, because of so many rehearsals. (if you noticed before she answer the questions she was glance vaguely to the left0
But how effective can it be for independent voters .The program is mostly watched by “right wing conservatives” and fox news viewers they will be vote for McCain

Concerned in Ohio…Please stop with the BS! I am a homebuilder and I can guarantee you that the housing crisis has NOTHING TO DO with affirmative action mandates. It has everything to do with Corporate Greed by Mortgage lenders and some builders and appraisers. They loaned money to anyone with a pulse and many lenders falsified documents so they could do the loans. Families and our economy have been devastated by this greed not by fair housing regulations. The more I read your posts the more you sound like a racist. How sad that someone bases their views of a person by the color of their skin.

Hank929,
Actually, that might be a good investment.

If McCain and the rest of the Republicans do so well with their constituencies, why are the local banks in the red states failing? Could it be unemployment related? Isn’t that where cheap property was abundant (ripe for property flipping)?
“It’s not just giant Wall Street investment banks that are hitting the rocks. Federal authorities moved Friday to seize Ameribank, Inc., a small community bank with eight branches in West Virginia and Ohio.”
l

To Foreclosure:
Health Care was a hold over from the Clinton admisistration, Hillary couldn’t come thru, remember?
Bridges and roads are paid for by fuel taxes both federal and state, then maintained by state.
What is missing from schools is the 3 R’s and physical education. Physical education is no longer offered to the “nerds” therefore they are overweight (fat).
Mr.Obama tried to keep the troops in Iraq by asking the Iraqi’s to hold off troop realighment untill AFTER the U.S. elections. No congress or president has done a thing about oil dependancy PERIOD. If 95% of Americans need help then we must be a thirdworld country.
The clintom admisistration started the deregulaion problem in 1998 to “Make housing affordable to all Americans”.

They aren’t deregulators anymore.

Palin is a sad excuse for a running mate. She knows less than thousands of people across the country. Disgusting.
