Obama Continues Debate in North Carolina

The McCain/Bush presidency has 37 days left. Anybody else counting down after last night?

John McCain has not in my opinion communicated his economic positions well. Below is my attempt to clarify them.
McCain believes in Jeffersonian Democracy. What does that mean? Thomas Jefferson argued against Federalism, as he felt that it posed a risk and infringement to the liberty of Americans. The Federal government is a necessary evil, which should operate on the common benefit, security, and protection of Citizens, and should be watched closely and its powers should be minimized.
Science recently has determined that there is a scientific reason why this is the best possible configuration. Networks of all types, financial, government, electrical, communicative, all behave under certain laws. These laws have been described well in layman’s terms by Lazlo Barabasi in his book “Linked.” These laws argue against centralized networks as they are prone to cascade failures and that distributed adaptable networks are much more robust and capable of sustaining damage to one part of the network and reconfiguring themselves and continue to function. What this tells you is that democracy and capitalism, is inherently more stable than other types of systems of economic distribution and governance.
Capitalism has been moving towards big business, since the industrial revolution, and this has led to a centralization of Wealth which has placed our economy in the current economic crisis we face today. It is not accurate to place the blame on Wall Street, or on homeowners, for the current financial crisis. The crisis was driven by the centralized wealth and dynamics of the networked global economy.
The solution to the problem is to move toward decentralization of all critical networks such as Government and Financial.
McCain holds that we need to move from Big Business to many competing companies run on Main Street, and incentivize investment in small business over big business.
McCain also holds that regulation much like Big government needs to be circumscribed in its powers, but that it’s a necessary evil. The idea is that centralized standards, and regulation, reduce the cost of compliance and lead to greater efficiency.
McCain understands we need regulation and standards, but regulation and standards must be able to evolve and adapt, while cost of compliance must be the same for individuals as for big business on a basis that places the individual or small business with an equal footing to gig government or big business.
(In my opinion, this needs to be slanted towards small business and individuals. That it’s better to err on the side of smaller concerns.)
McCain is against Obama’s tax plan, because increasing capital gains tax on business, and investment, because it acts as a barrier to deploying monies to generate wealth formation. A simple way to understand this is as friction to the speed at which capital flows through the system. This matters to every American, not just the wealthy, as McCain critics say. This matters to every American because if assets are not deployed, and or leveraged, then entrepreneurial activities are curtailed, and with this comes a reduction in jobs, and a decrease in wealth distribution, and most importantly to wealth concentration which makes the average American a indentured servant to the concentrated wealth.
McCain understands that we need alter wealth distribution in this country such that it benefits the middle class and grows it. He also understands that in a free society you do not accomplish this by confiscating another’s wealth and redistribute it to others on the government’s whim. This was the approach of the old Soviet Union. What we need to do is provide incentives for people to place their wealth into the system so that others can become wealthy in their own right.
For those that think but I just want a job, and this does not matter to you, more business creation, leads to more jobs, and in today’s world with equity participation, greater wealth.

If you truly are an undecided voter and haven’t seen Bill Moyer’s interview of Andrew Bacevich, you owe it to yourself and your family to see this interview, and perhaps read Bacevich’s book, before you vote….
http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/09262008/watch.html

Be fair, maybe McCain was just “confused” again.

How can Mccain be in touch with the middle class look at Mccains lifestyle of the rich and famous 7 HOUSES, 13 CARS 500 DOLLAR SHOES PRIVATE JET does anyone here have that lifestyle? OBAMA 1 HOUSE 1 CAR AND OBAMA DID NOT LEAVE HIS WIFE TO MARRY A RICH BEER HEIRESS, so my question is with the life style of the rich and famous HOW CAN MCCAIN RELATE OR PUT HIMSELF IN THE SHOES OF THE AVERAGE AMERICAN OR UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE STRUGGLES OF AMERICANS?

Ok I am a resident of north carolina and I can honestly say that I do not support Osama oops I mean Obama in the least….if Obama wins this election I will seriously consider moving out of this country because you people think its bad now???? Just wait and see what happens when this nut-job gets into office….
McCain/Palin 08

WHO WON THE DEBATE?
Even though the polls gave it to Obama, I think they both did OK…
However, that’s not the main issue here. This was mostly a debate on FOREIGN POLICY, McCain’s strong suit, but Obama stood toe to toe with McCain and pounded him in more than a few areas, especially on the Iraq war…
Besides all that, everyone is missing a very important point here and it hasn’t changed since the embarrassing CBS Palin interview day before yesterday…
You Republicans in your glee (thinking your old nasty fool won last night or at least tied) forget there is a more important debate coming next Thursday night. That is the debate between Biden and Palin…
Ooooow, how painful for you guys to think about that one, huh?
I just can’t wait for that debate. After Palin’s embarrassing interview with Katie Couric, that one is going to be… well just painful for you guys!
McCain will have to unlock the basement where she is at now and put PALIN on stage with Biden for 90 minutes, ouch, oooow, very painful!!!
Can you Republicans bring yourselves to say GAME OVER!!!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Say hello to President Obama!!!!

Amanda and you think palin has her marbles?

I think it’s only going to get worse for McCain. This was his debate to win. Foreign policy was suppose to be his strength and Obama held his own. Obama was relax, cool and gave thoughtful answers. McCain seemed to be still stuck in the past.
And to not look at Obama the whole evening ,what contempt or arrogance. Either way it spells bad news for McCain. With the rest of the other debates focusing on the economy, I think this election is a done deal for Obama.
For McCain to have a chance to win he also needs to dump Palin. She is a disaster and her lack of knowledge is quite shocking.
For all you feminist out there, answer me one question, why did McCain pick a Kay Bailey Hutchinson. She has stature and intelligence and would garner respect, but Palin? He obviously was pandering to the religious right and the male lebedo. How brain dead can you get.

Obama continues debate in North Carolina…..MCCAIN CONTINUES HIS JOB IN WASHINGTON DC…FINDING A SOLUTION SO THAT HE CAN APPLY THE SOLUTION AS PRESIDENT

Obama won the Debate Easily!

As the poster said, a real maverick wouldn’t announce he was a maverick. Just as a real war hero wouldn’t keep bringing up his status as POW. Why doesn’t he just get a tattoo on his forehead: “EX-POW.”

========================================
Actually CNN is reporting that McCain has been told to sit at his campaign headquarters in Washington by both Republicans and Democrats….
They don’t want him messing things up again….

To Amanda:
You won’t be missed. Leave now!
But I’m just not sure what country you’re gonna move to. All the other countries live Obama.

bhrandon..btw “maverick” was a term coined by the MEDIA years ago to describe McCAIN’S bipartisan stands..and not by McCain himself..nice try though
Read article “Records show McCain more bipartisan” by Stephen Dinan, Monday, September 15, 2008, Washington Times

Yes, it was very unmavericklike for McCain to refer to himself as a maverick. Who does that?

Say curious indep,
Can you give us all you take on the Katie Couric interview on CBS with Palin?
We are all interested in your take on that. How do you think she did?
I heard her next interview will be on that show “Are you smarter than a 5th grader.”
All bets are on whether she can make it to the second round!!!

Okay, who wants to contribute to the Bush library. … :) LMFAO ! You GD right I’m counting the days, I’m going to have a party, ur, ah, if I had any money left I’d have a party. LOL
Ex Republican

I’m just curious what a President Obama would do if an Al Qaeda group takes a group of Americans hostage.

========================================
I am curious about how long it would take McCain to start bomb, bomb, bombing Iran…

Amanda, the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different out come. Is your life better than it was eight years ago? And if it isn’t, why are you so afraid of change? To be afraid of a man who only wants to help regular people have a better, kinder, less burdened life so that you can cling to a man who has bragged that he agreed with and voted with George W. Bush 90% of the time—–is insane.

WOW, Obama’s poll numbers just keep going up!!
Looks like the Debate, McCain’s fake campaign suspension and then messing up the bailout deal in Washington didn’t help McNasty one bit!!!

Davis…you fool??? Will I see the village idiot of Obama Town has returned through the person called Davis…or did we decide that you were the Town Drunk….YES, YOU ONLY NEED TO LOOK TOWARD HIS SUPPORTERS TO GET A TRUE PICTURE OF THE PERSON….

So, the person who says they want to move out of the country – I hope you have to leave soon, I don’t know where you would go where they aren’t having a big Obama victory party…. And I assume you woulden’t go anywhere that they don’t speak english, wich by the way espouse more of Obama’s ideas than McCain’s. So that being said I do think that a real Maverick wouldent call himself one and a real war hero woulden’t use it as a political tool. I don’t know a single wwII vet that doesn’t groan everytime he talks about it. They were heros and they never had to tell anyone to make is so.. It was was just so. My dad was a vet from that war, and I think he would be discusted to say the least with McCain for the way he uses is experience.

klondike…i don’t think it’s chocolate on your mouth, you’ve been kissing mccains ass haven’t you! stop the fear mongering!!! thanks to bush/mccain osama created 9/11 and is still alive. thanks to bush/mccain, thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands are dead for fighting an oil war!!!
klondike, get a brain, once obama gets in you may have a chance with stemcells because yours has been brainwashed!!!!

historyforgotten err remembered…Did you even watch the debate last night??? McCain lied???? Please read Henry Kissinger’s released statement on Obama’s lie in regard to Iran negotiating without pre-conditions…Inexperience showing through

*************************************************
At least Palin was vindicated on one point–Kissinger has since spoken out and made it clear that he DOES NOT support talks with Iran without preconditions.

Obama said that he will send troops into Alfghanistan and Pakistan to fight Al quaeda. But that he doesn’t agree to fight them in Iraq. This guy is a politician at a hideous highest level.

CNN and MSNBC are in Obama’s pocket. Add their viewers together and FOX news still beats them in ratings.
Anyone who believes the nonsense that CNN and MsNBC put out are regulars of Huffington Post and Daily Kos. You are only getting one side of the election news.

riy….LOL .. YOU ARE TRULY A SICK SICK PERSON WHO NEEDS TO BE SAVED FROM YOUR PRESENT LOCATION SO YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW;
FIRST PUT YOUR LEFT HAND ON YOUR RIGHT EAR, NOW PUT YOUR RIGHT HAND ON YOUR LEFT EAR….STAND BACK AS THIS MAY GET MESSY…NOW PULL…YOU ARE NOW FREE…

Historyremembered–What did McCain lie about at the debates??
Why don’t you look up the Fact Check on the Debates on this very website concerning this, then get back to us. Oh be sure to let us know how many lies Obama stated last night, probably not enough room on this posting.

Birk,
Check your math. You’re off by a few zeros.
$85,000,000,000/$200,000,000=$425

Obama speaks a good game, but has no record to show for it. He is a looser. Read what I have read about him and you decide:
http:// www. obamaunveiled. com

McCain, and anyone who thinks like he does, should be ashamed of the “BOMB as the only solution” mentality. Let us join Obama at a higher level of humanity – let us think, communicate, and respect others, rather than killing, destroying, and being proud of it. Patriotism is NOT about KILLING, rather about SAVING people and their countries (ours and theirs). It is no wonder many countries consider the U.S. leaders to be the real terrorists. Our leaders, BUSH-CHENEY, deceived the citizens of this GREAT NATION. They LIED! The Iraq War was not about humanity. It was and is about OIL, our need for it, our greed for it. We have destroyed Iraq to take that country’s oil, and in the process have sacrificed the lives of our precious young people, taken the lives of THOUSANDS of citizens (killing MANY MORE than Hussein did, and his were wrong, but look at the U.S. leaders), and destroying the structures of their country. Let us support Barak Obama’s ability to think and to reason, and to respect other countries rights to autonomy. Let us support Barak Obama’s desire to take care of the MANY ILLS, economic and otherwise, within OUR OWN COUNTRY. Let us “remove the LOG from our own eye before worrying about the splinter” in the OTHER country’s. WE ARE AN INTELLIGENT COUNTRY, RIGHT? I CERTAINLY BELIEVE WE CAN BE. VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN, Prove you can think!

Kay wrote,
Did everyone notice how everytime McCain answered first, Obama would respond with “I agree with John…”
Yes Kay. Obama did the same thing when debating Clinton. Obama always does that because he doesn’t know what he is talking about. Saying John/Hillary is right gives the illusion Obama knows the answer when he is clueless. When Obama goes first he just talks about Bush.
Obama hung himself when he had to let us know he has a bracelet too. Not knowing the soldier’s name was a debate defining gaffe.

of Missouri Law Enforcement
JEFFERSON CITY – Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics.
“St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.
“What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.
“This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights. The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation about the election.
“Barack Obama needs to grow up. Leftist blogs and others in the press constantly say false things about me and my family. Usually, we ignore false and scurrilous accusations because the purveyors have no credibility. When necessary, we refute them. Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts – not a free society.”

WOW, Obama’s poll numbers just keep going up!!
Looks like the Palin VP pick, the Debate, McCain’s fake campaign suspension and then messing up the bailout deal in Washington didn’t help McNasty one bit!!!
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/us/general_election_mccain_vs_obama-225.html

Obama just couldn’t think on his feet, and keeps on repeating or affirming what McCain says.
McCain mentioned “republican guards” and he repeated “republican guards”.
I wonder how he’d fare out if quizzed by the press on a live TV audience.

Amanda who says shes from North Carolina and will leave the country of her birth if Obama is elected.
“Please don’t let the door hit you in the backside when you leave.”
McSame…more of the Same policies that got us into both a Economic Disaster and a Military Disaster…caused by Greed and Psuedo Neo-Conservative policies that want to build an empire in the middle east, want to set up a Religious Government which will only allow Born again Christians to participate in, and want to control everyone in their lives.
Obama has a chance to “change” all that…he is FAIR…he is HONEST…and above all, he will listen to all sides unlike the Bush/Cheney/McCain world where only one view predominates. And weve seen the result of that during the last eight years. The Wrong War, The Wrong Economic Policies, and the Wrong people running this country.

The Democrats are trying to hide this, the white House too because they are afraid if this gets leaked out before a bailout decision, talks will fall apart.
Thursday, when Obama was called to the table to show leadership for his party, the Dems gave Obama notes catching him up with what was going on and what to say. He had no idea what had been said or done.
Obama goes into the room with McCain, Reid, Paulson, Bush, and Pelosi and is expected to lead the talks. He starts attacking the Republican plan without even knowing what it said, arguments ensued, Bush was trying to calm everyone down and McCain said, ‘We’ve got to set party politics aside and get this deal done” Reid and Pelosi stomped out and looked embarrased. Talks broke down and nothing was accomplished.
Yeah, that Obama, sure knows what he’s doing. The sad thing is the Democrats in Washington are trying to prop up their little man-child, they know they have made the biggest mistake in their party’s history by chosing Obama. God help us.

Amanda:–Yeah and Streisand, Alec Baldwin and Susan Sarandon said they were leaving if Bush became president. I’ve been waiting for 4 yrs for them to leave. They are like parasites, you can’t shake em. I’m hoping when McCain wins they will move to their mansion in France and we’ll never hear from them again. Maybe they will take Obama and his anti-american wife and Reverend with them. Oh if only….

When was Obama given the responsibility for defining the exact words that should be used and the ones that don’t matter? McCain has made it clear that he understands how the financial crisis is impacting individuals and small business owners of all income levels. During the debate, I didn’t hear Obama say the exact words “equal pay for women” during the debate, but it wouldn’t be accurate for McCain to suggest that Obama doesn’t believe in that important economic issue. Having your favorite candidate should not be a reason for making unfair and mean-spirited comments about the other candidate.

“One slightly ironic moment came when Obama ribbed McCain, suggesting he is trying to co-opt the issue of change. “He’s been grabbing our signs. Using our slogans. He even said the other day, the other day he said, I think, we need to turn the page.” These are all lines or themes Obama uses regularly on the stump. Obama added, “Pretty soon I’m gonna have to start saying I’m a maverick! You gotta come with your own stuff!”
Of course, Obama’s running mate Biden knows all too well the perils of borrowing campaign themes. In 1988, he dropped out of the presidential race after reports surfaced that he used lines from a British politician, without attribution.”
The lying plagarist’s were at it again!
“You gotta come with your own stuff??!!”
Is he having a drug induced flash-back or his brain really that fried??

So what is the brillant plan you conservatives offer? Vote the republicans back in and then grab our ankles for another four years?
NO THANKS.

Nobama forgot to memorize the soldier´s name whose bracelet was wearing. It´s a pity he didn´t have his teleprompter at the debate.
His lack of knowledge, misunderstanding, naivete, childish points of view, make scary to imagine America ruled by him. If Putin or Ahmadineyad have seen the debate, they must be laughing at Nobama.

So what is the brillant plan you conservatives offer? Vote the republicans back in and then grab our ankles for another four years?
NO THANKS
I believe the Dem-wit Democrats took control of the House and Senate nearly two years ago. What exactly have they done? You better look behind you while you are holding your ankles and realize that they are already there. Yes they have been in charge and look at what a great job they have done!
NO THANKS

I was there today. Tens of thousands of people lined up in the rain for hours to attend. And tens of thousands of people agree with Senator Obama. It’s sad that the only retorts from McCain backers are quickly dismissed lies and petty whimpering. There are too many important issues that face the country because of 8 years of mismanagement and try as he might, there are too many statements, actions, and votes that put Johnny Boy right there in the mix as a trickle-down, guns a-blazin’ Bushie.

You have to work for it, to deserve Sen McCain Gaze. Gold must be tested in fire. I think it was humiliating for MCain to compete with this Novice for election.
I am sure He preferred a worthy opponent, He/She who has made their Mark.
Instead he had this Boy who was calling him by his first name or even forgetting his name.
McCain/ Palin 08

Any educated independent person would say, McCain won hands down. Obama didn’t just lose, he was lost. But whom does Stephanopolous (a once Clinton employee) call the winner…… lol. OBAMA. What has happened to the independent press. Calling it as it is. Not taking sides and reporting without bias…..
Not much coverage either of the post debate specifics. But “eye contact”, “this debate is not important”, “it is only the economy” – has made it to the headlines. Obama does not know what to do …. he is all talk, no specifics.

John McCain proposal? CUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING————–we have to. It’s the only solution. They can start with the millions/billions given to senseless and often corrupt community organizations like obama’s ACORN.

What will McCain|Palin do for America, my family, and me?
Can any of you on the Right answer that question and keep it focused on your candidate for Pres/VP?

In the rain for hours??? you are feeling pretty stupid about now, huh!!
Maybe you should get a life!

Fell apart AFTER the democrats took control? The democrats swept the mid-term elections because eveything was ALREADY falling apart.
Are you Independent of reason?
So I ask you again…what have the Dem-wits done? Nothing. Are you a Democrat of reason…oh never mind….there is no such thing

This angry, hostile, man is simply unfit for the presidency.
I agree with the statement,but you are
referring to Obama and his pastor RevWright aren’t you? They were God damning my country while sitiing in their all black church! Curious thing is that Wright’s mansion is in the middle of a white affluent neighborhood. Typical angry black man…bashing whites but doesn’t want to live in the ‘hood with blacks!

Amanda:
You should go ahead and MOVE out of this great country!- so also Paul,becky nobama etc etc.
You all talk like third world people- YES I know because I lived there and MOVED here for the that Dream and CHANGE.
People like Amanda who talk only with RANCOR and IGNORANCE- JUST DONT GET IT !!

Amada,
Don’t let these Obama Supporters “bully” you! I got your back.
The ONLY thing that Obama said was:”McCain was right!” He is just a little puppy on a lease. He got the nerve to fool the NC voter into his phoney empty suite.
What a FAKE. Somebody remove the TELEPROMPTERS and see what stumble fool he is.

“So I ask you again…what have the Dem-wits done? Nothing. Are you a Democrat of reason…oh never mind….there is no such thing”
INDEPENDENT, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT THEY HAVEN’T DONE
1)BEEN IN CHARGE WHEN 9/11 HAPPENED
2)WASTED BILLIONS AND KILLED THOUSANDS IN IRAQ
3)ALLOWED KATRINA TO DEVASTATE AN AMERICAN CITY
4)ALLOWED WALL STREET TO CAUSE THE SECOND COMING OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION
5)MAKE THE WORLD HATE US!!!
I DONT CARE REPUBLICAN/DEMOCRAT/INDEPENDANT
THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST ADMINISTARATION IN U.S. HISTORY AND YOU WANT TO CONTINUE IT WITH MCCAIN.
AT LEAST REAGAN BROUGHT PEACE AND STOPPED THE COLD WAR.
BUSH IS FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT DOES BETTY AND BUSH HAVE IN COMMON?
BOTH ARE UNSHAVEN PUSSIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was clear that Obama had no clue last night in the debate. I saw him listening to John McCain, with respect…why…because McCain is a man of experience, who, unlike Obama, is the “boy-puppet” for Pelosi and company!
McCain/Palin 08!
“Country First!”

reddog, um, let me guess, is Johnny flyboy trying to screw up the bailout again since he couldn’t get it done on Thurs? thought he wasn’t going to show up to debate unless there was a deal. the so-called “no experience” guy called his bluff and OWNED your punk flyboy last night.

McCain campaign is so disorientated and confused.McCain will say one thing the campaign another. What a pity! I thought the campaign said McCain was heading to Washington yesternight after he was trashed by Obama.Let me warn the campaign.ENOUGH.STOP USING CHANGE SLOGAN.It is for the progessives (OBAMA/BIDEN).McCain was and is never an instrument of change.All your dirty tricks backfired,very unfortunate.GO OBAMA/BIDEN 08&12

Kimberly Peacock, nice summary. Very articulate. Here’s what frightening: you summarized economics in a way that was about 100 times better than BOTH McCrypt and his running mate who is in WAY OVER HER HEAD. That’s why America is quickly becoming petrified of this ticket. McCain has had three decades to get up to speed on the basics of economics. He is clueless. And unless you’re on the McCain payroll, I can’t imagine WHAT you would say to defend Palin after that utter meltdown with Couric. And if you say, “Couric was biased” or some other nonsense, you indict your own intelligence.

Michelle Obama first lady……ROFL thats funny more like first charcter in the Planet of the Apes” NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT, SHE DOES HAVE A STRIKING RESEMBLANCE TO ZERA! BUT NOWHERE NEAR THE SCRUPLES! MICHELLE SHOULD BE BANISHED FROM THE USA.

Obama looked like a gay monster in drag with all of that makeup.

pat
For you to stoop so low give me a good idea that I don’t want your candidate as my president. If he draw scum like you to him …. wow doesn’t say to much about his does it?

pat
better yet I guess it is common for flies to be drawn to death.

.
look yet another fly. How does that road kill McCain taste. hurry before the buzzards come.

From these past two weeks I WILL DEFINITELY VOTE FOR OBAMA
OBAMA – STEADY – LASER
MCCAIN – SPORADIC – SHOTGUN
he was all over the map this week.
fundamentals are strong
there’s a crisis
lets fire some folks
let me suspend my campaign
let me go on letterman
let me stand letterman up at the last minute and let
me lie to him that I’m leaving new york
let me go on couric
let me hold out on the debates
let me inject politic into the worst financial crisis in our lifetime
let me start act like a crotchety old condescending geezer at the debates
yet obama was steady
NO BRAINER FOLKS
OBAMA – BIDEN 08 12

Oh Obama care about middle class? Why he lost landslide to Hillary during primary?

Rezko
I am glad our first African American President is giving you an outlet to spout your bigotry.
Go ahead….
No fun in being a bigot if you can’t show it. RIGHT!!!

“Michelle Obama first lady……ROFL thats funny more like first charcter in the Planet of the Apes”
haha Pat that’s perfect!
well if Blobama does get elected, we’ll have Michelle as the first
FIRST GORILLA!

If anyone is pathetic it is Obama bin Biden, the New Messiah! With only 18 months in the Senate, 20 years in the same church with Rev. Wright and 20 years with a friendship with Bill Ayers, this is the “best” that the Democrats can come up with! Looks like it doesn’t take much to be a Democrat!

Omentum, whatcha gonna do if your boy Bucky don’t get elected?
Riot in the streets?
Cant wait to see ya get whacked and stacked by the riot police!

Just goes to prove, you can take the boy out of the Ghetto but you can’t take the Ghetto out of the boy. Barry is a Fraud and always has been a FRAUD!!! America is finally waking up to this fact. Thank God!!!!!

OBVIOUSLY “GORILLAS R US” IS RACIST AND AS IS TRUE OF ALL OF HIS/HER KIND HAS NOTHING INTELLIGENT TO SAY. WHAT A PATHETIC WASTE OF SPACE.

Obama is a fraud, and his wife needs therapy, she has an inferiority complex. They both are racists. What more do we need to know? We don’t have time to find out right now. NOBAMA 08

Omentum,
Cindy McCain adopted a sickly Bangladeshi child, who is now a well-adjusted member of McCain’s family.
Do you think Michelle Obama will adopt a sickly European child in her household?

I don’t think there was a real “clear” winner last night in the debate. I’m disappointed in both of them for not addressing the bail out and giving thier plans. They BOTH mumbled and grumbled through this discussion.
I did find it surprising that Obama agreed with John McCain 55 times last night. This tells us who the real leader is going to be.

david from texas
IT WOULD BE OBAMA.
In a leadership role its is called tact. You discuss your what you agree on first then you collaborate on your differences.
That geezer mccain is the ole stubborn g dubya on steroids.
I said thanks but no thanks to that gop ticket to nowhere!!!!

Omentum,
I’m waiting for the time to see if Michelle Obama shows compassion: adopt a sickly child and make her a part of the Obama family.

klondike
maybe she will just stay here in America and take care of an American child that is in need. She flew over thousands and thousands of American children in need to get to Bangledesh
Maybe some of those American kids are in need because her business gave the parents a alcohol dependency.
That’s weird too. The evangelicals are flocking to McCain in droves and his wife is a beer queen. Here business is the cause of groups like MADD and AA.
Wow great choice of business.
Once mccain get the presidency. FREEE BEER FOR EVERYONE.
interesting.

once a muslim, always a muslim

nobama
once a liar always a liar.

Obama the magic negro is going to prison soon.

A Democrat here voting for McCain. Obama hasn’t convinced me about what he would do for the country or me, and i don’t trust him. These negative Obama supporters on here can truly turn undecided people away with their trashing and nasty comments about anyone and anything that isn’t on par with their believes.

On another board, they were saying Obama is “eloquent” – spew! Yeah, nice word for sarcastic, elitist, snobby and full of himself.
I love how they all think he is for the ‘middle class’ – gag me. All the campaign did was determine that Obama sucks with the middle class polling data(cause most of us have a brain and are not on welfare and dont’ need the government to hand us a living, a house, health care and retirement) so get out there and rah rah the middle class! How transparent.

JEFFERSON CITY – Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics.
“St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.
“What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.
“This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights. The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation about the election.
“Barack Obama needs to grow up. Leftist blogs and others in the press constantly say false things about me and my family. Usually, we ignore false and scurrilous accusations because the purveyors have no credibility. When necessary, we refute them. Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts – not a free society.”
Obama’s way of governing a free people is to control them with police threats using Hitler Nazi methods.

mccain is horrible anyone who believes his lies are just idiots and alaska doesn’t even want palin back. if mccain is elected then he will
1)make the country worse
2) work hahahahahahahahahahahaha
like he’s doing right now

Bhrandon,
I had the same reaction as you, when Mccain called himself a maverick. A TRUE maverick or hero, NEVER refers to himself as such! You were right on!
McCain came across as tense, cranky, and lacking self-esteem or else VERY angry. He couldn’t even make eye contact with Obama. A picture is worth a thousand words.

I hope all of these AMERICAN REGISTERED VOTERS are using their common sense in weighing all the promises of a candidate to bring a change in our country, But will also be realistic to know that all those platforms and promised change will not be implemented without the bipartisan of both Congress and Senate. So, those are just WORDS and Campaign Trail Rhetoric to get some votes. I just wished the Candidates will be MORE HONEST with their Promises. The candidates should really Know, THAT, WE THE PEOPLE, ARE NOT DUMB, STUPID AND GULLIBLE TO BELIEVED ALL TRICKS OF THE TRADE, A POLITICIAN HAVE BEEN USING IN THEIR STUMP. WE THE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE LOOKED DOWN OR STEP ON, JUST BECAUSE WE THE PEOPLE, ARE NOT LIKE THE OBAMAS, WHO HAS HARVARD EDUCATION. WE THE PEOPLE, HAS A BRAIN AND MORE SENSITIVE COMPARE TO MOST MORE EDUCATED AND RICH PEOPLE. IF WE EVER NEEDED REAL LEADERSHIP, NOW IS THE TIME. OUR COUNTRY IS CURRENTLY IN A VERY CHALLENGING SITUATION AND NEEDS A VERY MUCH NEEDED GOOD FIXING. IF WE THE PEOPLE, FAILED TO ELECT A QUALIFIED LEADER, HE WILL CAUSED TO IGNITE OR TRIGGER SOME KIND OF CATACLYSMIC REACTION TO OUR ALREADY WEAK ECONOMY AND WILL DRIVE OUR BELOVED COUNTRY INTO TOTAL DESTRUCTION AND DEMISE OF AMERICA. THIS IS A QUOTE FROM THE GOOD NEWS MAGAZINE TITLED, WHAT’S THE KEY TO REAL LEADERSHIP. SOME LEADERS ASSUME THAT SINCE THEY OCCUPY POSITIONS AS LEADERS, THEY AUTOMATICALLY EXHIBIT LEADERSHIP. THIS IS NOT ACCURATE. THE QUALITY OF LEADERSHIP CONCERNS, HOW A LEADER ACTS TOWARDS OTHERS. IF A LEADER VIEWS HIMSELF AS ELEVATED ABOVE OTHERS AND THEM BENEATH HIM, HE IS UNLIKELY TO BE A GOOD LEADER. HIS PERSPECTIVE ERODES THE RESPECT OTHERS HAVE OF HIM. WHEN THE RIGHTEOUS ARE IN AUTHORITY, THE PEOPLE REJOICE; BUT WHEN A WICKED MAN RULES, THE PEOPLE GROAN. TOO MANY PEOPLE IN AUTHORITY FALSELY EQUATE THEIR POSITIONS AS LEADERS WITH BEING AUTOMATICALLY SMARTER AND BETTER THAN THOSE THEY LEAD. CONVERSELY, A GOOD LEADER IS INCLUSIVE, HONORABLE AND FAIR, COMPASSIONATE AND MERCIFUL, AND HONORS OTHERS. HIS LEADERSHIP IS CLEARLY WITH HUMILITY. THE GREATEST LEADERS ARE CHARACTERIZE NOT BY WIELDING GREAT POWER, BUT BY THEIR HUMILITY AND SERVICE TO THOSE THEY LEAD. GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS SUCH A LEADER-A TRUE PUBLIC SERVANT. MANY PRESIDENTIAL OBSERVERS CITE VARIOUS CHARACTERISTICS THAT MADE GEORGE WASHINGTON AN EFFECTIVE LEADER. THE QUALITY LEAST CITED IS INTELLECT, POSSIBLY BECAUSE HE WAS SORROUNDED BY SUCH LUMINARIES AS BEJAMIN FRANKLIN, WHO SEEM TO BE MORE WISER AND OTHERS ARE MORE BRILLIANT, MORE READ, INTELLECTUALY SOPHISTICATED AND POLITICALLY ASTUTE. YET EACH AND ALL OF THOSE OTHER PROMINENT FIGURES ACKNOWLEDGED THAT GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS THEIR UNQUESTIONED SUPERIOR. HE WAS RECOGNIZED AS PRIMUS INTER PARES, ( THE FOUNDINGEST FATHER OF THEM ALL ) FOR SEVERAL REASONS , HIS COLLEAGUES KNEW THEY COULD TRUST HIM. HE WAS A MAN OF WEALTH, LESS TEMPTED TO CORRUPTION. ( THIS REMINDS ME OF JOHN McCAIN ) GEORGE WASHINGTON BECAME A HERO BY RALLYING THE SURVIVORS TO RETREAT IN AN ORDERLY MANNER, SAVINGS MANY LIVES BY RISKING HIS OWN. HE WAS A FEARLESS, DETERMINED AND COMPETENT LEADER.

hey “Intelligent voter” ,funny
you racist, idiot

i cant belive there are still peole out there who would vote republican…after 8 years of all this crap we had to deal with…and thats not enough for some people. will they ever learn? do we need 4 more years of this crap? how about 8? its seriously ridiculous…i almost have to believe that certain people just enjoy seing our country go down the tube!! Is there any other explanation? I mean, we are facing a $700 billion dollar bailout, caused by this current administration…is this not enough indication that we are headed in the wrong direction…and john mccainn is somehow supposed to be different from this? give me a break…well i came up with a new “bail out plan” i say anyone who voted for bush in the last election is in charge of fronting the bill for this one. its not fair that the smart people who did not vote for bush are stuck dealing with the problems he created. so i call the new bailout plan, ” those who voted for bush have to pay for this one” bail out plan….i can’t wait till this guy is out of the whitehouse…and can’t wait until Barack Obama is in!!!

Hey f!!!
I was responding to another racist idiot—–I am an OBAMA SUPPORTER and have been since he first announced his run for the President….and you can’t claim I’m sexist either, when I dis Palin, because as a woman, I get to call her out for her being an embarassment to all of us.

Wake up….This crap started after the assassination of JF Kennedy.

So McCain didn’t mention the middle class. What’s noteworthy — neither dwelled on the largest bank failure in U.S. history having just occurred. Imagine what if it would have been like if these two geeks had debated right after the Kennedy assassination. Probably a warmed-over rehash of things they had said a month before? I was voting for Obama before the debate. Now my choice is NONE OF THE ABOVE.

I live in Australia, and we used to look to America in a sort of idealistic way. Now we look at President Bush and the replublican party and all of the abuses of power and wonder how come your consitution is so easy to ignore and why you would even consider more of the same. Obama mentioned America’s standing in the world and I get that as individuals you don’t care what other countries think about you but we got dragged into the shambles that is the Iraq War because our Prime Minister was a weak joke, he is gone! So if you need to rely on your allies you need our respect and Bush, man what a joke. Obama 08 for the worlds sake.

Hey Davis what show is Joe Biden
going to be on “Are you dumber than
a Toad”? Joe Biden is a Dufus!

Is McComa a traitor, or maybe a secret jihadist. I saw him last night and he was not wearing his flag pin. Also, he was clutching his Koran and a shotgun.

Missouri has a Governor? I thought the McCain campaign had assumed control of all states where there was a republican governor!

No Nod to Australia, I get that I heard America was extremely insular and maybe you don’t realise that the stock market does not only affect the US,its hurting the world but what really scares me after reading some of these comments is that although every one is entitled to an opinion you say really hateful things about your Candidates and each other and it just sounds like Americans hating Americans, Osama bin Laden must be having a full on happy dance, he can just sit back and watch you guys tear strips off of each other. Its a bit sick, do you really have to disagree with such spite and anger

Continues the debate ? With himself ?

Amanda- Get your passport in order. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out!

(Un)Intelligentvoter: Are you not aware that the VP’s have their own debate ? Obama won’t mention Palin for fear of bringing up why his is running with Joe Biden rather than Hillary. I guess there is only room for one Demagogue on the ticket. Biden is just a loud mouth clown, so he doesn’t count.

Obama-Pelosy-Reid-Hillary’s fist attack is gun control. After we are all disarmed, then Michelle can begin her Universal Mandatory Volunteer (sic) Public Works program. We will all be marched off like good Maoists to do the work of the party. Probaly building statues of Hussein Obama, the Dear Leader around the country. Or maybe sent to the inner cities (Chicago?) to negotiate with drug dealers to change their ways. Not consitutional ? Not after Obama packs the Supreme Court with his cronies.

John Mcsame is a prolific gambler with the lives of average folks. Why else would he pick Sarah Palin as his VP pick and make her a “72 year-old heartbeat away from the presidency”, he picked her to win the election and for no other reason. He also wants to gamble your employer provided health insurance by taxing your health insurance benefit and therefore force your employer to push you off their health insurance roll and on to the free market to buy your own health insurance (this will scare the living daylights out of people once they KNOW the details – for your sake, I would suggest you look it up and say bye-bye to your employer provided health-care under president mcsame). John Mcsame also wishes to gamble Social Security in the stock market and we have all seen how well the markets have worked lately. Please get educated about what john mcsame really has in store for average folks. Really, your future and those of your children depend on it. Footnote: John McSame is also a constant gambler with his money and that of gambling lobbyist. See http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/28/us/politics/28gambling-web.html?hp=&pagewanted=all

Kojipham: Are you that naive to believe what the NY times tells you ? They have endorsed Obama. Find a source that’s credible.

“paid cheering crowds”
Nice try. I was at the Greensboro rally today – hey it would have been nice to get paid for being there, but we weren’t. And btw Obama has regularly drawn crowds in the thousands for a year now; if he has to pay them all, he’d be bankrupt by now.

Martha
He certainly doesn’t pay people to attend. He simply is a guest speaker at free concerts and street festivals.

what the heck! I’m starting to feel alienated! first Obama sends emails telling us to vote on CNN, now Obama paid people to attend!
I WANT MY MONEY BYOTCH!

Martha
A free Dave Matthews concert was what drew the 75,000 in Oregon. A large concert in Berlin drew that crowd. And the list goes on…
BHO is a guest speaker at concerts. My tone is one of FACTUAL statement.

Martha: You were ripped off. I’m sure if you checked in with you local democratis party, you would have gotten in gratis. Not enough money, nonsense, check out : http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/contrib.php?cycle=2008&cid=N00009638 The special interests have loaded Obama with money to burn.

An Open Letter to Senator McCain,
Dear Senator McCain, you lost the debate and in doing so you gave Obama’s campaign hope and momentum. The polls on Tuesday/Wednesday will tell us how much momentum.
A poll lead by Obama of 8 or more points is not good but can be overcome in your next two debates (Don’t sweat Governor Palin, she will do fine in her debates if for nothing else because Biden can’t keep from putting his foot in his yap)
Here’s how you can and should approach the next two debates
1.Talk to the camera and the American People not at Jim Lehner or anyone else monitoring the debate. Tell us your vision, tell us your solutions, tell us whatever you want to, but tell “US”.
2.Knock off the nostalgia trip of how you remember what Eisenhower did, how you’ve known Henry Kissinger for 30 yrs, how you remember in the past, ect..ect..ect… all it does is remind everyone of your age. Tell us what you’ve done recently, how you and Congressman Bainer ramroded a bailout that was in the best interest of the country, how you can and will lead and serve the people of America.
3.Drop the smirking while Obama is speaking. It makes you look like a condescending old man. Monitor what you do and your facial expressions. Someone should have told you you’d be on a split screen so that while Obama talks the camera is also on you. Your facial expressions are very poor and denote disrespect and arrogance.
4.Continue talking when Obama attempts to interrupt you, don’t allow him to monopolize the debate, get the final word and allow his point of view to be the last.
5.A minor matter, but one Obama and his team are sub-consciously using against you to remind the audience/American People of your age. Don’t allow Obama when he shakes your hand to give you to two handed insincere shake, especially when he shakes with his right hand and holds you with his left hand on your right forearm/elbow. He is trying to give you an appearance of being old, infirm and in need of help/support.
If he does it again and you can’t avoid it then reach up and pat him on his shoulder a couple of times giving the impression he is a youngster, naïve, a student meeting his teacher/master.
These debates are crucial Senator McCain. You have to and will do better in the next two.
Lastly, As for Dr. Henry Kissinger being one of your advisers. He has been known to offer his services to both sides so he can insure he comes out a winner regardless who wins.
He did it when Rockefeller ran against Nixon, feeding both of them info on Vietnam, and when Nixon won, secured himself a position as his Secretary of State.
When everyone in the Nixon administration was being taken down because of Watergate how fortunate for Dr. Kissinger to not only survive, but serve as Secretary of State for President Ford.
Not that Dr. Kissinger will gain a position in either administration, he’s too old and bring with him too much baggage, but he does want influence with whom ever wins.
I Love the Man to death, he is a brilliant diplomat with an exceptional mind but beware, he is also the most brilliant modern practitioner of “real politik.”

no stance obama: Obama-bots remind me of Mao’s Red Guards. It’s a cult of personality. Ready to mindless act on anything the great helmsman says, with no reguard to logic, reason or morals.

Frankin Raines got booted out of Fannie_Mae for mismanagement and cooking the books. Or course he walked away with a 50 million dollar severance check. He is now one of Obama’s economic advisors. That’s where your campaign donation goes. To his pay check.

America08
I’m not going anywhere either, but if BHO supporters want socialism and high taxes so badly, Canada is due north and Europe east over the Atlantic.
America was not founded to have the HUGE goverment Obama wants. Period.

America08: Jimmy Carter took over the country too. Fortunately, that didn’t last forever either. It only seemed like it.

Sound familiar ?
“There is a new mood in America. We have been shaken by a tragic war abroad and by scandals and broken promises a home. Our people are searching for new voices and new ideas and new leaders.” – Jimmy Carter 1976

I don’t know why Republicans feel they are the end all and be all to America. This election is for the people and by the people. Stop Hating others just because they don’t agree with you. Remember this is a democratic society. If you don’t like that, leave the country.

‘no stance obama’— you obviously have no idea what each candidates positions are or how they will effect this country.
Both will lower taxes, McCain will do it more for the wealthy, Obama will do it more for the low and middle class. Both will raise the deficit, but McCains will do so even more.
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/publications/url.cfm?ID
Each has different views on health care.. analysis of the plans show that Obamas is more efficent and will increase health care coverage to Americans, while McCains will result in more Americans losing health care.

http://content.healthaffairs.org/cgi/content/full/hlthaff.27.6.w472/DC1
Obamas energy plan will force a quicker shift to renewable alternative energy than McCains, and Obama wants to close the Enron loophole so gas and oil prices will have an immediate drop, while McCain wants ‘further study’ on the matter.
Those are just some differences in their positions.. there are many more..

Sorry r – Request to move was meant for Amanda.

if you have a “right mind”, choose right person in the white house,look at obama,he is “an empty suit” !
God Bless America

Did anyone else heard why the economic meeting held this week when into a complete meltdown. It was because of Obama inability to chair the meeting. The democratic leaders had Obama chair the meeting so they can come with a statement saying that Obama took charge and show strong leadership in the economic meeting with the President. Unfortunately, it did not go as planned. It was said that Obama started the meeting confused, using wrong facts, and not able to get his words out. All attendees were promised not to say anything about what happen in the meeting. It you noticed no one from the democratic party that attended the meeting mentioned any things about Obama’s performance, chairing the meeting. If Obama had performance well, you better believe the party would have shared it with the media.
Another of the reasons Obama did not want to attend the economic meeting, he did not want to be contacted with the bailout plan because it favor some of his old partners at ACORN which is under federal investigation. This information was undercover in the economic meeting, which upset most the republican leaders that attended. The bailout will allow 20% of the profit to be given to the group ACORN that Obama was once a lawyer for two years and work for. If the old bailout planned (with McCain forcing Obama to attend) had passed and once the people find out about the money going to ACORN and people learned of Obama associated with ACORN, then Obama could had said “I did not know about it being in the bailout plan and I was not part of those meeting that agreed with it.

I HOPE EVERYONE REMEMBERS WHAT GWBUSH HAS DONE WITH AND TO THIS COUNTRY IN THE LAST EIGHT YEARS, FOR GOD’S SAKE, PLEASE WAKE UP!JOHN MCCAIN IS STILL LIVING IN THE VIETNAM WAR, THIS IS THE IRAQ WAR ERA, PLEASE DON’T TAKE US DOWN THIS ROAD AGAIN

If BHO gets elected the only thing you will have left in your pocket is “CHANGE.” I “HOPE” you have the “AUDACITY” to realize this.
Those BHO keywords work in both directions.

No way Obama won that debate. He avoided any knockouts, that’s all. Unfortunately polls are bias to the fact unless something happens Obama has to win on the merit of Bush. McCharacter is fighting an uphill battle, all Obama has to do now is show up and don’t do anything stupid.
I feel it is terribly unfair, since everyone knows McCain and Bush hates eachother, they always have.
The corporate prostitution of the White House George Bush is a foremost representant of is the opposite of what McCain pledge. McCain and Palin are both known to take independent stands to protect voters from party corruption.
It’s Obama who is selling out to everybody for record amouths of lobbyist cash.
It is Obama who has a veteran earmark-Senator as VP. Biden is in the pocket of banks and credit card companies, he made it easier for banks to forclose on peoples houses.

Good leaders do not step in while campaighning and throw a monkey wrench into negotiations That stunt Mccain pulled when he went to DC was THE perfect example of this man Irational Behavior He was supposed be helping PLEASE he told the reps to HIDE. This goofball needs to go to a sanitarium NOT the White House.

A.C.O.R.N: they’re all nuts.
The Congressional Democrat bailout that was prematurely announced before McCain arrived on the scene was set to give 20% of any taxpayer profit and “donating” it to ACORN, La Raza, and the Urban League, all left wing “organizations”. La Raza even supports Mexico’s reconquest of the American southwest.
You are damn right I’m glad Sen. McCain went to DC to stop this anti-American piece of garbage the Democrats tried to pass off to the American people.
McCain lead, and Obama wasn’t even smart enough to follow. He was ordered back by the President.

Yes, Obama said you could call him a maverick in the debate and in NC. Maverick Obama through his campaign and the DNC is threatening stations and cable a lawsuit if the NRA runs their ad on Obama’s position on gun control, which he has avoided like the plague. The reason is he and Biden are both on the wrong side of the issue. It bothers me when a politician abuses the 1st amendment to protect himself where he stands on the 2nd amendment. Fact-Check is biased, and they got it wrong, and these ads on hunting WILL be aired. With the incredible liberal bias in the media, it is a wonder McCain or Palin will even talk to the press. With the exception of Fox and some conservative radio talk shows, for the most part, the broadcast media, Fourth Estate are all Obama supporters and lead cheerleaders. The media is so distorted that people have turned to the Internet, overseas and various radio sources of news to balance the news. The media to not report the news, they distort the news, leave important facts out, and determine also what you do NOT see and hear. What an abuse of journalism, a veritable waste land of Newspeak from the Ministry of Truth. For heavens sake, do not present the public with the truth, they can’t HANDLE the truth. The most important two buttons on the remote for the evening news are the mute and the OFF button.

Go ahead and rally behind this so called maverick. Let the blind lead the blind towards the ‘hate Americans alley’ where our depleted armed forces abroad will be used to police the world while our domestic economy shrinks with the dollar.
If McCain thinks he can revive America as a superpower by continuing the last 8 years of pathetic failure, he needs to think again.
America is in a SAD STATE. His voice does not ring the voice of optimism. It is a weak link to the PAST. (What he lost in Vietnam he’s now desperately and doggedly trying to correct). He thinks America is winning this war on terrorism.
Can you really tell if the roaches and the fleas have completely disappeared? Come on! He can say all he wants about “fragile victory” reports from his military advisers. But will we ever see the end of this?
His instincts are definitely showing signs of being INSTITUTIONALIZED and DULLED by his sad ideology.
To repeat the same mistake twice is beyond risky and dangerous.
Of course he could tell you more war stories with extreme military patriotism, but McCAin DOESN’T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND that the enemy is DRAINING America’s ‘superpower’ beyond military strategies.
I

I’m sick and tired of Iraq. As if we didn’t have enough problems at home already! A McCain regime will only make it worse!
In a globalized world, America needs to grow its infrastructure and create jobs at home. His plan to cut spending would be counterproductive. It just shows how his weak economic portfolio blends with the Bush-Cheney fiasco! Be very afraid. Even the fat cats won’t be able to save themselves with so much foreign debt.
I do see some hope in Obama. He is the man with a VISION before the debate, during the debate and he most certainly knocked McCain when he told him about being WRONG (about winning a ‘quick war’, the Shias and Sunnis and the rest). That shows intelligence and ability…over someone who should have dominated foreign affairs.
On the economy, McCain is like an old dog with old tricks for the FAT CATS. Guess who won the debate.
Don’t waste your vote. Remember…IT”S THE ECONOMY, STUPID!

I was an undecided voter untill the recent economic problems surfaced. It is now obvious to us independants that we have to go in a totally opposite direction as this current administration. We have never been in a situation where housing has lost 50% of its value since the Great Depression. Under this administration we have sqaundered opportunities to create goodwill around the world. I now have to tip my vote and urge all undecideds to do the same. As much as I fear Obama’s inexperience, I feel he will surround himself with very smart experienced leaders who can guide us,If we continue down this devestating path started by this administration, America will not be the beacon of hope that many around the world look to.
Thanks You- Independant (Jill)

I was disgusted that Obama forgot the name of the soldier whose bracelet he is supposidly wearing…
“Jim, let me just make a point. I’ve got a bracelet too. From, Sergeant, uh, uh, from the mother of, uh, Sergeant, Ryan David Jopek.” – Obama 2008
1st Presidential debate.

riy,
DID YOU GET OUT OF YOUR MOM’S BASEMENT YET LIKE SHE TOLD YOU AND GO TO MCDONALDS TODAY TO TRY AND GET A REAL JOB?
YOU SUCK AT BEING A OBAMA BLOGGER.

I see there’s some of the usual if such and such wins the election I’m emigrating brigade.
We get that every election here in the UK too.
Its all rubbish.
Said by anti democratic fools.
Its my ball and I’m going home and you’re not playing kindergarten stuff they do not even carry out anyway.
You are leaving the US for this other wonder place, really? where? let us all know the secret of where it is. Nope, thought not, you are just lying!
The country will not collapse alltogether, not even when the wrong ones get voted in!
You still need to have some faith in your own country, its democratic credentials, and its commonly held beliefs amongst the vast vast majority, and no McCain or Obama do not belong to the tiny minority for that, any more than Brown or Cameron do here, if you think they do you need your head examined.
