Obama Targets McCain and Palin on ‘Change’

Very Well stated From Senator Barbara Boxer:
Last night at the Republican National Convention, John McCain used the word “fight” more than 40 times in his speech.
In the 16 years that we have served together in the Senate, I have seen John McCain fight.
I have seen him fight against raising the federal minimum wage 14 times.
I have seen him fight against making sure that women earn equal pay for equal work.
I have seen him fight against a women’s right to choose so consistently that he received a zero percent vote rating from pro-choice organizations.
I have seen him fight against helping families gain access to birth control.
I have seen him fight against Social Security, even going so far as to call its current funding system “an absolute disgrace.”
And I saw him fight against the new GI Bill of Rights until it became politically untenable for him to do so.
John McCain voted with President Bush 95 percent of the time in 2007 and 100 percent of the time in 2008 — that’s no maverick.
We do have two real fighters for change in this election — their names are Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

The only change coming from the Obama camp will be to move the corrupt Chicago style of politics to Washington.
He has never said one word against any do-nothing Democrat. McCain has gone against his Republicans colleagues time and time again.
Obama has been running his mouth. Palen has been running the biggest state with an approval rate of 82% just yesterday. Change is what we need, the McCain/Palin type of change. Not the socialist change Obama would put in place. After all, there is a Reparation to Blacks for Slavery with a cost of 1.4 trillion dollars on Obama’s agenda.

He is right, Obama needs to keep saying that at every town hall meeting at every rally, get it in the minds of voters, because its ridiculous, McCain liked Obama’s theme of change so much he decided to make it his own, and he has been in Washington for more than 25 years and his party has controlled the White House for the past 8 years, and nothing good has been accomplished!

Now that’s straight talk, but Obama is the one speaking it!
The McCain/Palin campaign ought to be ashamed of themselves thinking we’re not paying attention! They’re a bunch of hypocrites!
Why isn’t Sarah Palin allowed to talk to the media, what is are the republicans afraid of that we’ll find out more about? And affair that she had with her husbands best friend?

What is going on in Obama Camp ?
Howard Gutman, finance committe member chatised and rejected by Obama campaign for off-color remarks about Bristol Pain.
So did Gutman apologized in a statement to ABC News ?

mccain and palin wouldnt know change if it slapped them mccain had 26 years as senate to change did he no he followed bush and agreed with him 90 percent of the time mccain/palin= CHANGE YOU DONT WANT CHANGE YOU CANT BELIVE IN! GO OBAMA/BIDEN08

It is being reported BO’s denver thing discarded American Flags in the “trash”. Boys Scouts have these and will bring to John McCain’s rally in Colorado Springs. BO has disssed Small-Town America, his wife was not proud of America until a few months ago, and now he and supporters are throwing our American flags into the trash. What is wrong with this guy? We must learn now his reasons for doing this, before the election.

aWe !!!

A few people here seem to think Obama was the cleanup crew and personally threw out flags with the litter. Did McCain personally cleanup his convention, I bet they threw out flags too.

did you guys here that Sarah Palin is being TUTORED on foreign policy? that is some scary sh-t!
With Russia, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, N. Korea…REAL THREATS…causing chaos, why would this woman so arrogantly decide she’d be ready to lead if she had to take over one day?
This woman is putting her self-interest above the interest of the American people. But no one should be surprised. This is a person who:
1. lied about her own record for political expediency.
2. paraded her own pregnant daughter and the father (both just teen-agers) onto the national spotlight for damage control, for her own political expediency.
3. is stalling now on an investigation for political expediency.
FOR ALL YOU REPUBLICANS WHO ALWAYS CRITICIZED HILLARY CLINTON FOR HER SHADY DEALINGS….WHY ARE YOU NOW SO HYPOCRITICALLY NOW EMBRACING SARAH PALIN? THIS WOMAN, NOW IT’S BEING REPORTED, EVEN HAD AN AFFAIR ON HER HUSBAND!!!!! THAT’S FAR WORSE THAN WHAT HILLARY HAS EVER DONE.

That will be CHANGE we can BELIEVE in !!!

What a JOKE this Palin thing is!
McCain just trots his new “one trck pony” out on the stage and says look at her, isn’t she smart, isn’t she pretty!!
Don’t look at me folks, just look at my new pony!!
McBush is still the same old tired guy with the same old tired ideas he had a little over a week ago. The only difference is now he has a new pony…
The sad thing is that the Republicans are ALL falling for it and falling all over themselves for Palin…
Vote for real leaders Obama/Biden ’08!!

How will Obama tell Washington to change? Send Biden?

Sen. Obama continues to get the facts wrong as well as put up statistics that work against him. He says he is for change and Sen. McCain is not, quoteing Sen. McCains voting record. Yet he has voted with his party over 96% of the time according to congressional records. So that means Sen. McCain more for change than Sen Obama. Sen. Obama – find some facts that you can use!

HEY Poster: McCain/Palin 2008 | Sep 6, 2008 2:28:42 PM
Political Stunt Trick Pony!!! The flags were intercepted from a worker, they are lieing about what he was doing with them! They told the worker they would recycle them for him and now are using them to say the DNC threw them out!!!
Liers!!!!!

Never under estimate a neo-con, they ALWAYS fall into the party line. Look at McCain, claims to be a “maverick” but votes party line 95% of the time. Republicans are go little nazis, always in lockstep.

Cut and Paste huh,
Right benvictor, now the flags being discarded are being blamed on Obama?
Your question what is wrong this guy? Why do you attribute all negatives to Senator Obama? Why is that so easy for you, especially after the eight, fruitful years in this country?
Can you find something concrete to discuss or just continue with lies and innuendo?
How about we talk about how qualified McCain’s vp pick is, lets talk about that!
Lets talk about how it took her 6 yrs and 6 different schools to complete a 4 yr degree in journalism with a minor in sportscasting, and the republicans want to place her as #2 in this country. Let’s talk about THAT.
Lets talk about how the republicans want to put someone in control that has no knowledge, no education, and no experience on foreign policy. Lets talk about something that truly matters. Not a piece of cloth.

Who is obama? What has he done for America or Americans?
Why is he friends with Terrorist Ayers and Dhorn?
Why is he friends with Convicted criminal Rezko?
Why is he friends with Fraud Mayor Kilpartick who is in jail now?
Why did he sit 20 year in racist church and with Radical pastor Wright?
Why is he friends with Islam Farrakhan?

This is what Howard Gutman said, during an interview with Laura Ingraham.
(He was questioning Gov. Palin’s decision to thrust her daughter into the national spotlight)
- “This has nothing to do with gender, whether Todd Palin was the nominee or Sarah Palin was the nominee,” Gutman said. “If my daughter had just come home at 17 years old and said, ‘Mom, Dad, I’m pregnant, we have a family problem,’ I wouldn’t say, ‘You know what we’re going to do? We’re going to take this private family problem…and you know what I’m going to do? I’m going to go on the international stage and broadcast this to the world.’”
- Gutman continued, “this wasn’t a working mother issue, this was a parent issue…The proper attack is not that a woman shouldn’t run for vice president with five kids, it’s that a parent, when they have a family in need, a Down’s baby who needs them — mother or father.”
- “So you are judging her parenting skills,” Ingraham said. “You’re saying you don’t think she’s a good parent for doing this job.”
- “I’m saying the proper criticism is not that it’s a woman or man – it doesn’t matter whether it’s Todd or Sarah,” Gutman said.
========================================
Frankly, I think a lot of Americans have been having similar thoughts. Views like this have been expressed “around the kitchen table” across the country, in both Republican & Democratic families. Its NOT a partisan view.
You can disagree with what Gutman said, but there is nothing SHOCKING in it.

is it not sexist that Palin has been relegated to chearleader because McCain cannot reise a croud?
Palin (the communications major)pulled from campaigning alone
If she is not ready to be a VP candidate on day 1
she is not ready to be VP on day 1
if McCain falls she is definately not ready to be President on day 1

More cut and paste:
Now I understand the change the republicans are talking about. You guys have zero credibility, you can’t be trusted to do whats right for this country. We see that in the pick of Palin.
If the democrats would have selected someone with the credentials of Sarah Palin they would STILL be screaming about how unqualified they are.
People are sick of the republican hypocrisy. Wasn’t it bill-o that called the Spears parents pinheads because the young is pregnant? But somehow now praise the Palin’s in the same situation?
We are disgusted with the republican hypocrisy.

Mary; What’s the population of Alaska? They have more caribou than people. Oh and after we pay reparation to all the blacks, we’re going to give them all the jobs and let them camp out on the White House lawn, maybe let a few sleep in the Lincoln bedroom. OMG Black people in the Whie House…Uppity aren’t they? HAHA

Obama’s camp and followers can hope and believe in change all they want – McCain and Palin can and will actually make it happen.
McCain/Palin – Doers not talkers.

Well said Senator Obama! Perhaps the new change that we will see with Senator McCain will be less change in the pockets of the middle class hard working people and more change in the pockets of the sharks who preyed on this economy and rode to success at the cost of hardship of the middle class by sending jobs abroad, outsourcing work that put millions of Americans out of a job. Further change will be in the level of debt with the numbers changed recently to $9 trillion. The change the Governor of Alaska brings is a dramatic shift to the ultra right pulling Senator McCain along with her.

I’m looking for a decent job! but next time I go for an interview God forbid dont ask for past experience because I have an answer Sarah Parin!!

McCain presents no Trojan risk. Why among so many new black star politicians, the Dem ended up choosing someone who is not certain American, Indonesian or Kenyan?

what the hell is Cindy wearing and how much did the elite keeper of McCain paid for it?
McCain running on “change is coming”
now that’s original

they are tripping over themselves over Palin

“George, come quick….there are BLACK people knocking at the door”said Laura.”George did you hire some new help?”cried Laura.

For crying out loud, Mary, what kind of crap are you spouting? Obama has not, and never will, endorse slavery reparations. Only a paranoid right wing freak could believe that. Grow up, pay attention, stop bloviating your fears and join us at the grown-ups’ table.

Besides all BS coming from the left they are also saying that Obama is a bright man.Well.. quite honestly he is not.Some times he sounds like the retard.But this is not the most important thing…the most important thing that his friend in Detroit is going to jail and Obama is the next… REZKO .

.
Obama and his follower’s main topic is ‘eight more years of the same’. This is aimed at the gullible, as history shows the both democrats and republicans have made great Presidents. It’s the man and his principles that have allowed this, nit the party. But then the democrats can’t sell the man very well because of his baggage.
.

The population of the “great” state of Alaska is about 670,000 and I would remind people that they reaped big revenues from the sky high Oil prices. It isn’t hard to run a small state with a big surplus and don’t forget the 600 million Palin got from Uncle Sugar. She hates earmarks unless they’re coming her way.

Maverick McCain? Nope. Gelding, plain and simple. He surrendered his testicles to Karl Rove and Rove now has them on his key chain. The gelding will soon be put out to pasture and Rove’s braying little filly will be sent back to Alaska where she belongs.
By the way, Michael. Your post sounds like a tape recording of the Sean Hannity Show. Don’t you have any thoughts, ideas or words of your own?
God this is going to be fun. Sarah Palin, The GOP’s early Christmas gift to the Democrats.

He conveniently forgets that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats have been in charge of Congress for the last 2 years and have obstructed offshore drilling and other initiatives by the Republicans.

Obama understand the economic situation of america more than McSame who does not even no how many houses he has and he thinks a middle class family earns less than $5m per year.
Obama is addressing the main issues while McSame is attacking personalities. McSame is truelly the same as Bush.
McCain + Palin = McPain

The problem is the American people have not had the benefit of the true facts about Palin.
For example she was in favor of the bridge to nowhere until she saw it was an issue and then changed her position because she felt she would lose the election.
She is supports the windfall profits tax on the oil company’s in Alaska which has given every man, women and child $3000 this year. McCain does not support windfal proit tax.
She took away money from parents for support of children with disabilities. Of course that was before she had a child with disabilities.
She cut real estate taxes, however that was for residential and all corporations including large. In the mean time increased sales tax. The end result the residents picked up the bill for the tax cut while the large corporations got a huge tax cut.
This is just a few examples of her “great record.
Before you make up your mind, you need to dig deeper than what you see.

CAME IN SECOND!
MITT ROMNEY WON.

Listen up Obamabots:
The risk John McCain took a week ago Friday is comparable to the 72-year-old ex-fighter pilot knocking back two shots and flying his A-4 under the Golden Gate Bridge.
McCain’s choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his co-pilot was the biggest gamble in presidential history.
As of now, it is paying off, big-time.
The sensational selection in Dayton, Ohio, stepped all over the big story from Denver – Obama’s powerful address to 85,000 cheering folks in Mile High Stadium, and 35 million nationally, a speech that vaulted him from a 2-point deficit early in the week to an 8-point margin.
Obama had never before reached 49 percent against McCain.
As the Democrats were being rudely stepped on, however, Palin ignited an explosion of enthusiasm among conservatives, evangelicals, traditional Catholics, gun owners and right to lifers not seen in decades.
By passing over his friends Joe Lieberman and Tom Ridge, and picking Palin, McCain has given himself a fighting chance of winning the White House that, before Friday morning, seemed to be slipping away.
Indeed, the bristling reaction on the left testifies to Democrat fears that the choice of Palin could indeed be a game-changer in 2008.
Liberals howl that Palin has no experience, no qualifications to be president of the United States.
But the lady has more executive experience than McCain, Joe Biden and Obama put together.
None of them has ever started or run a business as Palin did.
None of them has run a giant state like Alaska, which is larger than California and Texas put together.
And though Alaska is not populous, Gov. Palin has as many constituents as Nancy Pelosi or Joe Biden.
She has no foreign policy experience, we are told.
And though Alaska’s neighbors are Canada and Russia, the point is valid.
But from the day she takes office, Palin will get daily briefings and sit on the National Security Council with the president and secretaries of state, treasury and defense.
She will be up to speed in her first year.
And her experience as governor of Alaska, dealing with the oil industry and pipeline agreements with Canada, certainly compares favorably with that of Barack Obama, a community organizer who dealt in the mommy issues of food stamps and rent subsidies.
Where Obama has poodled along with the Daley Machine, Palin routed the Republican establishment, challenging and ousting a sitting GOP governor before defeating a former Democratic governor to become the first female and youngest governor in state history.
For his boldness in choosing Palin, McCain deserves enormous credit.
He has made an extraordinary gesture to conservatives and the party base, offering his old antagonists a partner’s share in his presidency.
And his decision is likely to be rewarded with a massive and enthusiastic turnout for the McCain-Palin ticket.
Rarely has there been such an outburst of enthusiasm on the right.
In choosing Palin, McCain may also have changed the course of history as much as Ike did with his choice of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan did with his choice of George H.W. Bush.
For should this ticket win, Palin will eclipse every other Republican as heir apparent to the presidency and will have her own power base among lifers, evangelicals, gun folks and conservatives – wholly independent of President McCain.
A traditional conservative on social issues, Palin has become, overnight, the most priceless political asset the movement has.
Look for the neocons to move with all deliberate speed to take her into their camp by pressing upon her advisers and staff, and steering her into the AEI-Weekly Standard-War Party orbit.
Indeed, if McCain defeats Obama, 2012 could see women on both national tickets, given McCain’s age and the possibility he intends to serve a single term, women at the top of both – Sarah vs. Hillary.
The arrival of Palin on the national scene, with her youth, charisma and vitality, probably also portends a changing of the guard in Washington.
With Republicans having zero chance of capturing either House, and but a slim chance of avoiding losses in both, a Vice President Palin, with her reputation as a rebel and reformer, would surely inspire similar revolts in the Republican caucuses.
As Thomas Jefferson said, from time to time, a little rebellion in the political world is as necessary as storms in the physical.
The Palin nomination could backfire, but it is hard to see how.
She has passed her first test, her introduction to the nation, with wit and grace.
And the Obama-Biden ticket, having already alienated millions of women with the disrespecting of Hillary, is unlikely to start attacking another woman whose sole offense is that she had just been given the chance to break the glass ceiling at the national level.
Her nomination, which will bring the Republican right home, also frees up McCain to appeal to moderates and liberals, which has long been his stock in trade.
With his selection of Sarah Palin, John McCain has not only shaken up this election, he may have helped shape the future of the United States – and much for the better.
Anybody But Obama…

What is a joke is Sen. Obama. This is a dangerous man. He reminds me of Prime Minister Chamberlain, who thought he could negotiate with Hitler, Obama will talk to the Iranians all the way until the Iranians drop an atomic bomb on Isreal or the U. S. Also I don’t believe that he wants to be or is capable of being President of “ALL” Americans.

Sarah Palin and Mcain are liers. The surge in Iraq will destroy the iraquis only and poor little children. You have no place to take over another country. The terrorism has increased because of mcain and bush action in iraq.
What are you going to do about 6.1 unemplyment in the country. In truth both Sara pali and Mcain do not care for the country, they care for winning the election.This time american people will not be fooled by republican party.

Dear MARY
You are correct. Comparing Obama to Palin is laughable.
Here are some facts about Obama and the great state of Illinois. 3 of the last 7 governors have been jailed for fraud of one kind or another.
The current house and assembly are controlled by the Dems. Illinois is ranked in the top 5 in the country in unemployment.
The current Dem governor is under investigation for alleged involvement with Tony Rezko who has been convicted of influence peddling.
I seem to remember a real estate deal involving Obama and Rezko.
Check this site for the article about an ABC photographer who was arrested for taking pics outside of a hotel in Denver
of high powered Dem lobbyists and Dem Senators attending a “special” shindig.
I won’t even mention the Rev. Still wondering how often he attended this Nazi church but I can’t seem to get any answers.

John MCcain had 26yrs to change Washington, he’s the maverick, if he doesn’t have GOP party,to support him how is he going to change Washington. According to him he has been breaking china for 26yrs.
Vote Obama, let someone else bring some new china to break in Washington.

And Obama never got earmarks? What about the fish tank in Chicago or the grants he received during his organizing days? I am quite sure there are others. Ok, Ok, Obama may have used the change word first, but his change means going back to the days of Carter and even using the play book of socialist societies-which never worked. Exactly 20 years ago Biden was saying the exact same words”Change and the last 8 years have been a complete failure” Of course we know that to be untrue as we all know that the past 8 have not been a total failure.
Poverty pimps and change merchants are one in the same; Liars and elitist.

Has Obama given a real press conference during the last three months where reporters were allowed to ask real questions? NO!
Obama is a shallow nutcase promising to socialize America by simply taxing the upper crust of society. Yet the math shows that will fall short. Since all taxes are passed downward, the poor and middle class will suffer.
Obama is a jerk. Just look at how he crumbles in the O’Riley interview. Like dried out fruit cake.

For the record, Obama authored or co-authored some pretty important legislation: Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006, The Global Poverty Act of 2007 and the Lugar-Obama Nonproliferation Initiative.
Now, McCain has a quarter-century long history on the Hill, but name one major legislative accomplishment beyond McCain-Feingold. I’m sure there are some, but I can’t find any on his website or much online. However, turning around the question is fair.

Who is obama?
Is he the guy who sat 20 years in racist church in Chicago?
OR
Is he the who called radical pastor wright his good old uncle?
OR
is he the guy who is friends with convicted criminal Rezko?
OR
Is he the guy who called Fraud Kilpatrick a “great mayor”?
Who is he? set aside the change and hope and roars

I am glad Obama is talking about Palin taking the alaskan pork. Maybe if Palin is really for change she will pledge to immediately discontinue all federal funds going to alaska and fund these projects with the excess oil taxes that she gave back to the people in her state. I, for one, am pretty disgusted that she is using my tax money from the lower 48 to pay for her projects while she gives rebates to the people who benefit from our pork contributions. Maybe she can reimburse the US treasury instead of handing out checks to the people. No wonder she has a 80%+ approval rating.

Obama is the guy with anti-american wife :)

We have been lied to for 8 years under Bush. MCain is demonstrating that this will continue. Ex: the war in Iraq that killed many of Americans. Obama has stated that he will cut taxes for income earners under $250,000. Mcain is flat out lying and says that Obama will raise taxes for the American family not true!. He thinks that the American public is iqnorant! I am also confused as to why a poor white person would vote Republican when the Republican are against social programs that help the poor ex: (Wic) and (Welfare). Whites make up 70% of welfare recipiants they should all be in line to vote Democrat.

Nooo. Obama is the guy with 0 Executive experience.
Who steals other “just words”.
Who is all words no action

Why does the McCain campaign keep LYING about Palin killing the bridge to nowhere? She supported it until the 11th hour, and even then took the money.
Maybe Senator Obama’s right. Maybe they really do think we’re stupid.

Is Mcain unable to speak. Why Sarah Palin is introducing him all the time. He lost his confidence. He is responsible for all the mess that Bush and him has brought to the people of america. Housing problem, unemployment,
jobs that thousands of people lost to china. trillion dollar debt and the list goes on. Shame on you Mcain why do you want to destroy your own country.

Has Obama given a real press conference during the last three months where reporters were allowed to ask real questions? NO!
Obama is a shallow nutcase promising to socialize America by simply taxing the upper crust of society. Yet the math shows that will fall short. Since all taxes are passed downward, the poor and middle class will suffer.
Obama is a jerk. Just look at how he crumbles in the O’Riley interview. Like dried out fruit cake.

Obama is the guy who provided 14 million of tax payers money to convicted criminal Rezko.
Obama is the guy who gave his 1% only charity of 27000 to racist church in Chicago and his radical anti-american pastor Wright

COL. A.M.Khajawall[Ret]
A high ranking military person could put together a coherent paragraph. That certainly excludes you. You’re not what you claim to be.

McCain served our country while Obumma served himself and his wife!
McCain defended our country while Obumma and Rev Wright defiled it!
McCain protected our country while Obumma and Ayers tried to blow it up!
McCain was a POW while Obumma was using drugs and having alleged homosexual relationships!
The choice is clear all right; statesman, war hero, pilot, Naval commander, POW, -OR-
racist, bigot, drug addict, terorist,
America hater, fruitcake

Translation of McCain/Palin campaign response: “Yes we Can! We CAN just make stuff up! Watch us do it! Yes We Can!”

Is obama a american citizen?
Where is his authentic birth certificate?
Why did he forge his birth certificate?
A wolf in sheep clothing?

I bought my wife a 2 yr subscription to U.S.Weekly magazine last Christmas as a stocking stuffer. I thought she would get a kick out of the deprecating articles about the Hollywood celebrities.
NO LONGER! Cancel our subscription!
After seeing the slanderous, malicious, attack-driven “cover story” entitled, “Babies, Lies & Scandal” meant to publicly embarrass Governor and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin of the great State of Alaska, U.S. Weekly can take its communist drivel and peddle it to some unsuspecting victim elsewhere. To be honest, we all know that U.S. Weekly is far from the caliber of legitimate journalism.
However, since it has a readership in the millions, U.S.Weekly, is clearly trying to flex its Beverly Hills political muscle. U.S.Weekly should stick to what it knows best, like what Madonna has to say about saving the world and how noble she is by adopting children from third world countries. We all know how much better the USA would be with Madonna at the helm; after all she is best friends with another Hollywood liberal political force, Oprah Winfrey. To add to this phenomenal development, Madonna and Oprah, clearly are grounded and certainly connect with minimum wagers in this country, after all we all know that they don’t make much money and live in modest housing to remain relatable to the public. Madonna loves America so much that she spends most of her time in England. Oprah loves America so much that she launched her own magazine called, “O” and graces its covers every month so that all of us unfortunate working folks can be inspired by her grace and ability give away merchandise on her self-aggrandizing show.
The Republican Party has never been popular with the Hollywood set, and I don’t think that will change anytime soon. However, the public knows that you, Ms. Min and Ms. Wenner, are just employees of the New York Times which publishes U.S.Weekly. We aren’t fooled and we aren’t stupid. Both of you are openly and unequivocally Pro-Obama. You have doted and fawned over he and his wife with a child like naiveté. Your Pro-Obama coverage is a shining example of your liberal and leftist leanings. You are the sycophants that are repeating the pattern of Thomas Feyer, the NYT editor that raves about Obama and refused to print future President John McCain’s Op-Ed because our next President, John McCain did not agree with Feyer’s liberal rants.
Attacking Governor/Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin was the wrong thing to do. Not only have you energized the conservative political base in this country because of it, but you have galvanized those that truly love America and defend it for a living as I do. For your feeble attempts at a political insurgency against McCain/Palin, you will most definitely be rewarded!
With a decisive McCain/Palin win!

From a small school in California I can proclaim I’m better than Sarah! at least I have dealt with global students just name them S korean, Singaporeans, Japanese, Africans( Kenyans, S. Africans) e.t.c. I think I can be more valuable in anyones ticket more than Sarah!! United States is not all about fishing! we are the best in the world! and we can do better! thats the change I belive in!. We can be the leaders again in energy! we don’t need to kiss the Saudis ass!! we are Americans dont forget!! the best there is and the best there will ever be! Join me and say no more foreign oil!! we do away with oil! and United States will still be the best! GOD BLESS AMERICA and HER people.A note to every company in United States Please stop asking for experience just ask for skills because our VP Sarah is for the skills!!

LOL, Palin has been running the biggest state in the country? Come on now, if it was a town, it wouldn’t even end on the list of the 20 biggest cities in the US! Enough with the Rove tactics.

braggingrights
Yeah — you’re definitely better than almost anyone. I especially like your modesty and well-informed opinion.

As for Palin’s experience….I’ll put it up against BO’s exeuctive experience anyday…..and Bozo has 300 ADVISORS RIGHT NOW, can you imagine how many he will gave as President? Our tax $$$ going to the most Advisor Driven Presidency EVER! Let McCain have his four years, Gov. Palin is a quick study (has to be as good as that loser Gore who had 8 years of on the job training and still couldn’t get elected) and let’s see a Palin vs. Hillary in 2012.

.
RK said:
“I this election is about baggage then McCain wins”
Exactly. In the end, Rezko, Ayers, and Wright will be the downfall of Obama.

Obama: The world’s only crack using Muslim!

Ed: could not have said it better! Kudos!!

Obama needs to be careful with the flag thing in Denver … may not be BIG deal am intellectual like him …
…but for a lot “small town folks who cling on their guns and religion”; this can be fodder for a feeding frenzy.
Remember he did have a unsavory history with flag-pins. (oh i mean, AMERICAN FLAG, not Indonesia nor Kenya)

Obama has never denied that he got earmarks for his constituents. The amount of money for earmarks he’s asked for is far less than the majority of Senators. In fact, he co-authored the Government Transparency law with Republican Senator Coburn from Oklahoma. The law allows people to check (on the internet) what funding their legislators are asking for. Most of the earmarks Obama received are for medical research or education projects to help low income children (no bridges to nowhere). It’s interesting to note that along with Sarah Palin lying about supporting earmarks, Alaska recieves more earmarks than any other state in the country even though it has the second lowest population.

since the pow thing is mccains claim to fame—why dont he play a few of his speeches when he was a pow—-come on john we all will be waiting.

The very fact that republicans are trying to defend a vice-presidential candiate who won’t even give interviews means that the party has jumped the proverbial shark. I can only pray that the American people can get past any latent prejudices and see the republicans are playing us Americans as suckers.

This retired “Colonel” copies and pastes the same gibberish on different blogs every day, perhaps with a few twists here and there…
More “Change” we can believe in…
Anybody But Obama…

Jayhawk, you must not know any “traditional Catholics” if you think Ellie Mae Palin excites them. I’ve been a traditional Catholic for 54 years and I can attest that we’re not one issue voters. I’m not pro-choice but just uttering the words “anti-abortion” won’t get you my vote nor will it get you the vote of most Catholics if your record is like the rest of Palin’s. You know what most Catholics DON’T like about her? She’s a lapsed Catholic that joined a congregation that generally believes Catholics are heathens. Most Catholics I know wouldn’t trust her judgment and most “traditional Catholics” aren’t going to support someone who abandons their religious faith so easily. She’s been a member of three different religious faiths in her life. Don’t presume to speak for Catholics. Speaking for the many I know, we find her lacking and detestable.
Beatrice – you’re a nut job. Did Moammar Quadafhi tell you that he recruited Obama or did you hear it on the Sean Hannity Show?

Bottom line is that Obama is not trustworthy.

Hundreds of thousands of readers have cancelled their subscriptions to US Weekly for their trash cover of Gov. Palin, while 2 weeks ago the lovey dovey Obamas on cover with “Why I love my Man” title. Hollywood has already coronated the emtpy fraud as poster boy Prez to be…..but REAL Americans, MIDDLE Americans…those that cling to guns and religion JUST AREN’T THAT INTO B. HUSSEIN.
MAVERICKS….McCAIN/PALIN…making decisions for you at their risk…not like the ego driven, me, me, me candidate who has done nothing for anyone except as community organizer he got some asbestos removed!

Let’s review:
1. Obama was president of Harvard Law Review.
2. McCain graduated 894th in a class of 899 at the Naval Academy.
3. McCain has admitted he “doesn’t know much about the economy.”
4. He has also admitted he doesn’t really know how to use the internet.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WE ARE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING A MAN FOR PRESIDENT WHO IS SO OUT OF TOUCH WITH CHANGE, AND SO MENTALLY INCURIOUS AND LIMITED THAT HE CAN BARELY USE THE INTERNET? IF MCCAIN IS ELECTED WE ARE THE STUPIDEST NATION ON EARTH.
We’ve already tried eight years with an unintelligent president. Shouldn’t we try a smart guy this time around???

edisaliar….my what an unusual name…you must be a Dem-wit Democrat!
Sorry I must have ruffled your feathers!! I am happy now and must move on to some other blog and spread joy and truth!

The dems didn’t discard Hillary, she just didn’t win the nomination.

I don’t care about Palin, nor do I think she represents change. She is the status quo for Republicans.
See the GOP doesn’t want to talk about their record of the last 8 years, so instead they change the subject by making stuff up about people.
The Republicans elects a doffus TWICE for President (Bush)and now I’m supposed to trust them to tell me the truth. After the endless lies and corruption from Republicans, I’m not going to trust them as far as I can spit.
The Republicans want to change?
What did the Republican Party do when they were in power?
The GOP is moving on from what?
They have yet to admit any mistakes so, why do they need to hide from the last 8 years?
Did the White House make mistakes? Is that why Bush and Cheney can’t be seen at any McCain/Republican events? Not even at the Republican National Convention?
Is the Republican Party John McCain’s now?
What do the Republicans do to “move forward”? Which way were Republicans moving our country before?

Can’t wait until Obama gives a press conference. How many months has it been?

Obama is absolutely right, McCain has been stealing his messages ever since the primaries and especially Obama’s message of change. Pig Palin was against the bridge to nowhere after she was FOR THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE, just like all her other lies, as she tries to distort Obama’s record. She is not even in his league so why McCain and the media keep putting her up against Obama is laughable. McCain and McPalin will only be a worse disaster in the White House. There is something about her we do not know and it is not good. She is like the snake with lipstick who looks pretty then you get swooned by her then she bites you and you scream and ask why she bit you and she turns with a smile and says what do you mean? You knew I was a snake. That’s Sarah McPalin. Don’t be fooled.

Why cant every body pick a canadate wihtout the whole he said she said thing? Its really qutie simple, i mean come on people! Obama attacks McCain, McCain attacks Obama. Not to be raicist but i don’t think this country is ready for a black president. My history teacher is amazed that we’ve gotten this far. The USA has already made alot of progress in history, and we’ve only been around for about 500-400 years. So plese vote for McCain. And another thing is if we pull ourselfs out of Iraq ( not that Iam not for it, my friends cousins, uncles and brothers are over there)it will only get worse for everybody involved. Iraq will get there army strongerand attack us twice as hard. Iam a full blooded AMERICAN and i honestly don’t think we are ready for this.

Obama change: More of the same corruption.
McCain change: Get rid of DC corruption.
It’s easy to pick the change that’s needed.

MCCAIN MADE CHANGE???????? I GUESS VOTING ALONG WITH BUSH 95% OF THE TIME IS CHANGE —–I THINK HE IS IN BED WITH THE CHINESE—-

tori
“Not to be raicist but i don’t think this country is ready for a black president.”
To be or not to be…..that IS the question.
You have choosen to BE one.
You are sad.

For the idiot that said McCain doesn’t have the support of Vets, are you nuts? That’s all you saw in his audience at his speech Thurs. night….didn’t see any in Bozo’s. Get real….even the guys over in Iraq….all but the black ones maybe, are behind John Sydney McCain, not Barack Hussein Obama.

Wrong jp,
My brother is a “traditional Catholic” from California and a doctor who supports McCain/Palin.
I guess you could say I know my brother.
While my brother is not a one issue voter, he definitely supports the ticket opposite Obama/Biden.
As do I.
As do a growing number.
Who now spark fear in the hearts of Democrats across the country.
And, as always…
Anybody But Obama…

“Obama was 7 years old when Ayers was in the Weatherman”
Obama was 37 years old when he began working for Ayres to waste $100 million that was suppposed to improve education in Chicago. Instead they doled out money to leftists incluidng one of Ayres Weatherman terrorists.
Obama was 44 years old when he began doing the bidding of Ayre’s father’s employer Exelon (or Commonwealth Edison) in the Senate -making sure a bill to require Exelon clean up their nuclear waste was watered down and killed.
Obama was 46 years old when Exelon continues to pump money into his campaign.

Debra: Please I’m getting tired of correcting you. You put your hand over your heart when you say the Pledge. You take your hat off for the National Anthem. Where is McCain’s pin flag ? Where is Palin’s.

I’m pretty disgusted with John McCain. I am a middle of the road Independent and was planning on voting for him. I would have been happy with him selecting Romney for VP. I could have even been OK with Lieberman. Now that he’s picked Palin I feel like he sold his soul to the Right Wing faction of the Republican party.

michaelY
What polls are you referring to?

Debra,
it is more than a photo. There are vidoes of the entire anthem being played. Obama stands there like a log while Clinton, Richardson, and the Harkins all respect the anthem.

Ed please it was the State Capitol Building where he made his announcement.Go review your talking points from Faux News and come back.

michaelY
What polls are you referring to?

NObama lacks humility, experience, and wisdom. His choice of friends, associates, and clergy are beyond suspect. His great oratory requires the use of a teleprompter; he hems and haws when extempore, demonstrates trouble marshaling his thoughts and making up his mind on the fly, since he is not a man of deep convictions and principles. All blow and no go, he leaves the podium as little more than a fifty cent waffle. Having Harvard on one’s pedigree ensures only that one is intelligent and hard-working. The law degree is of little use for a Chief Executive, but is appropriate for crooked members of Congress who spend their days in search of loopholes to accomplish their nefarious ends–THAT is NObama!
Biden was ridden out of the Potomac swamp on a rail, tarred & feathered, after his plagiarized speech in a now mouldering Presidential bid. In this election cycle, he comes in last as a DNC contender, so now rears his ugly head only at the behest of the Messiah. History shows Biden has voted on the wrong side of all the foreign policy issues for which he has been ballyhooed by Democrats for being his chief strength.
Regardless, three timeless truths dog this campaign.
1. All one can legislate is morality–the only question is whose…
2. One cannot tax and spend one’s way into prosperity…
3. The best government is that which governs least.

Once again…
John McCain uses his career and campaign to promote change…
Obama uses change to promote his career and candidacy…
Anybody But Obama…

Guys, it doesn’t matter who is elected we will have another 4 bad years. Both canidates can talk change but neither knows how to implement them.
I think we would have a better chance with Clinton vs Palin. It would still give us another 4 years of dread.

Obama does not have a track record of fighting for anything other than his own self advancement.

Billw- are you stupid enough to confuse the Lincoln Building in springfield with Ayre’s house?
Dumbf-k.

I see why Obama is having to come down from his Greek Temple and go on the offensive …
His polls numbers are NOT looking good !
The Obama camp is not going to like this but the race is definitely TIGHT.
A more Obama-leaning CNN is officially declaring :
“According the latest CNN Poll of Polls, Obama now leads the Arizona senator by three points, 45 percent to 42 percent. Last Thursday’s Poll of Polls showed the Illinois senator up by four points, 47 percent to McCain’s 43 percent.
The latest CNN analysis of several recent surveys DOES NOT include any post Republican National Convention tallies.
“While the race appears to be tightening up a bit, it’s worth keeping in mind that we still haven’t seen any polling conducted after the Republican Convention,”
This is closer than many pundits are making it out to be … never rule out the MAVERICK / REFORMER combination

Jayhawk, you dim bulb. Try to get this through your thick skull. You cannot be born in another country and be POTUS. This is why can’t run, as many would like. Obama was born in the US. If he had not been, he would’ve been barred from running. What part of this does your Sean Hannity kool-aid drenched brain not get?
Debra, it was established long ago that the incident to which you refer was not Obama not placing his hand over his heart during the pledge of allegiance. They were singing the National Anthem. If you look at that photo without your Rush Limbaugh glasses on, you will see that Obama is singing. Placing a hand over the heart during the playing of the National Anthem is done by some and not by others. I don’t do it. I sing along. I wore an uniform and defended my country. Does that make me un-American? Why do you dolts keep regurgitating all these disproved lies?

AND ..
On the international front …
With a Resurgent Russia and the likes of Medvedev today reported to be saying “THAT RUSSIA MUST BE RECKONED WITH”, AND a SURGE STRATEGY is that succeeding in IRAQ; there appears to be an unfortunate conspiracy of events that is working against OBAMA and his game plan.
On a domestic front …
On Palin. even his campaign strategist, Axelrod admitted “I can honestly say that we weren’t prepared for that,”. Obama camp is in a little disarray. Biden, a loose cannon, is relatively mute, threading carefully and hoping for surrogates to do the attack dog these days.
A New Game Plan / Plane is in order to stop this slide

Well-Known Democratic Activist for Hillary Clinton who threw her support to McCain after the Obama nomination released this statement today per Mark Halperin:
Reba Shimansky Talks to The Page
“The Palin selection may have energized the GOP base but it hurts him with independents. I would have voted for McCain if he made a sensible choice for VP like Ridge which would have shown that he was willing to stand up to the rightwing crackpots in his party. Therefore I will be sitting out the 2008 presidential election.”

At least Palin is more qualified than Biden should worse come to worse.

Peggy
Why in the world is that newsworthy?

==================================
We need for all the senators and congressmen to vote “Present” every time like Obammy did 1,000 times. Then they wouldn’t mess up anything.
Sure glad that Sarah Palin doesn’t have as much experience as Jimmah Cartah, Bill Clinton, and George Bush, all state governors.
Oh, I see. She DOES have as much experience as they did.
My bad. Or, left wing liberal’s BAD.
Palin/McCain 08

Sam-The only reason Palin is on the ticket is to “get” disenfranchised Clinton voters. They are not off to a very good start…..

A NEW CHANGE from his “CHANGE we can believe in” agenda is in order to CHANGE his free-falling poll numbers and check the surge he is seeing in McCain/Palin’s “CHANGE is Coming” agenda.
Obama should not be afraid to CHANGE from his CHANGE agenda…afterall CHANGING CHANGE is … JUST WORDS !!!

..and CHANGING CHANGE is CHANGE
Karl Rove

BIDEN AND CLINTONS USED TO SAY THAT OBAMA IS NOT EXPERIENCED ENOUGH TO BECOME PRESIDENT; HENCE THERE’S NO PLACE FOR JOB TRAINEE IN THE WHITE HOUSE. NOW THEY’RE SAYING THAT OBAMA IS EXPERIENCED ENOUGH AS PRESIDENT AS IF THERE’S A GUN POINTED TO THEIR FOREHEADS. I SUGGEST FOR CLINTONS TO STOP DECEIVING THEMSELVES BY SUPPORTING A WIDELY KNOWN CROOK…THEY NEED TO RESIGN FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND SWITCH TO REPUBLICAN PARTY. THEY’RE BETTER OFF WITHOUT THE DEM DEVILS.

Biden will put the woman VP candidate out of her misery. Just wait and see.

Let’s see rodney, Palin a Govenor for 1 1/2 years, Biden a senator since 1973 and you say she has more experience than he does. Wow, what are you smoking? McCain became a senator in 1986, I guess you think she is more experienced than McCain also?

Angie…here is the list of specific legislation in which Barack Obama was the primary sponsor (in other words, the legislation specifically introduced to Congress by him):
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/?&Db=d110,d110&querybd=@FIELD(FLD003+@4((@1(Sen+Obama++Barack))+01763))
Those are just the pieces of legislation in which he was the primary sponsor, not a co-sponsor. He specifically AUTHORED 152 bills. One-hundred fifty-two. Written by Barack Obama himself.
Add co-sponsorship, and his list expands rather significantly. He is listed as co-sponsor on 427 bills. Four-hundred twenty-seven. Those are JUST the bills he is listed as a cosponsor.
Mind you, that is just his career in Congress. He sponsored 820 bills in the Illinois State Senate. That is eight-hundred twenty.
To say Obama hasn’t introduced any legislation is a bald-faced lie. It’s not a misstatement, it’s not an exaggeration, it’s not a misinterpretation, it’s not a harmless fabrication, it’s not spin, it’s a LIE. A complete and utter LIE. A foolish LIE to boot, because anyone, anytime, can track this information online through the government database itself to verify the facts. You can also check and see who in government spent what, when. You can see the latter information in no small part thanks to BARACK OBAMA, and the sweeping government transparency legislation, plus the sweeping Ethics Reform Act of 2007 allowing us to see what lobbying money goes to whom, HE helped create, co-sponsored, and will forever have his name on in the historical record.
So, stop lying, or repeating lies spoken others. Verify information yourself. Check up on it. Certainly don’t trust some talking head on TV or the radio, as those are some of THE most biased OPINIONS around. These people get paid for their OPINIONS. Their OPINIONS are not, however, FACTS.

Moderation
What was some significant legislation Obama authored in congress (not just voted for)?
Seriously!

Hugh, I am not arguing with you. I DO NOT want Obama in office. I am a republican but I still do not feel McCain is the right person for our party.

Ok…enough for the day .. checking out..have fun on both side of the asile and divide.

Orlando B. Fremont Ohio,
So you don’t agree that the war in Iraq was a good idea. Well, consider this, if Obama had got his way the US would be dealing with two Terrorists States that hate America, Iran and Iraq, on the verge of or with nukes. All I can say is that if Obama gets elected and waves the white flag of defeat in Iraq, you best go out and build a bomb shelter. Because, once Iran and Al Qaeda take over Iraq and get a hold of all that oil, we will all need to go out and build bomb shelters.

Yeah, McCain proposes basic reforms of our unemployment insurance and public school systems downgrading both while increasing tax cuts for the rich. McCain’s “policies” are continuation of Bush’s. The big question is, are you better off today than before Bush”, I’m sure as hell not.

Sounds like republicans are getting bored of fu**ing their moms everyday

kajun2468, If you think things are bad now, just wait what happens if Obama gets elected and kills the economy.
______________________________________
kajun – the GOP has already taken care of that – no worries.

This election, the republican party is truly sad.
Less than 2 WEEKS ago they were all mocking and criticizing “change”…
LO AND BEHOLD now they want to be the “change” pary.
You clowns are going to loose…PERIOD !!!

rodney,
Palin has more experience in her little finger than Obama has in his whole body. Fact is Obama has NO experience. So if there is a choice between Obama or Palin for President, I would pick Palin any day over Obama.

Peggy, It’s bad but not terrible. I am expecting it to get worst whomever is elected. I think it is time to retire to the Caymans.

The GOP change things wow, thats like believing in the tooth-fairy. When they had 60% control of the Senate and the House, they rammed all their favorite bills through congress without even a look by democrats and, of course, wonderful G Bush signed them. They went along with the thousands of Signing Statements by which Bush declared that he would not obey laws that he didn’t like. They agreed to the violation of civil liberties whereby the GOV can now enter your home secretly and take whatever they want, listen to all your phonecalls (better not have any relatives in certain countries that call you) and get all kinds of information on you from any source without your knowledge until a gov. agent knocks on your door. Today, people are presumed to be guilty when accused and relatives have a hard time finding you because you could have been shipped anywhere in the world, citizen or not. From McCain and Palin’s tone and attitude things would get much worse if the country was unfortunate enough to elect them. May such a disaster never befall us.

I am going to repeat stuff you’ve heard a thousand times until you are finally brainwashed into believing it like I do.

peggy shut up you fat ass. even if a terrorist state attacks the USA they sure as hell wont attack those crappy mid west states. god, cant you retards see that they would only go after high populated states, aka BLUE STATES. leave politics to people who understand them, not retard rednecks like palin and her husband

Peggy, The GOP has not “killed” the economy the Obama and the Democrats have. Obama and the Democrats have refused to drill for more oil, build new refineries and new nuclear power plants which is the reason the US is so dependent of foreign oil, gas prices are so high and the dollar is so low.
High gas prices and our foreign debt is the real reason our economy is having problems now. If Obama and the Democrats had gone along with President Bush’s proposal to drill for more oil, build new refineries and new nuclear power, the economy would be doing just fine right now. That’s why it is so ironic that Obama is actually running on a platform of improving the economy when Obama is the cause of the bad economy.
So what I do not get is why you would support Obama when it is his economic policies that have caused all of our economic problems now and we will get more of the same if we elect Obama. Obama is for, higher taxes on the small businesses that create jobs, Obama is for higher gas prices, Obama is for spending a TRILLION dollars in new government programs that will suck he life blood out of the private sector and kill the economy.

You get into the academy without grades by being a top Admirals son and another Admirals grandson.

Yes, that Bush is so dumb and stupid. How did that chimp beat Gore and Kerry.

Palin/McCain 08

To support Obama and his idea of CHANGE, I am going to send him TWO CENTS. That will be all I have left at the end of every month with his tax increases. I am retired and living on dividends and capital gains.
Obama’s supported $1.4 TRILLION for the Reputation to Blacks for Slavery. He also supports $845 BILLION dollars more for his Global Poverty Act. It is called redistribution of wealth.
Yea, the only change I will see is only two cents at the end of each and every month. Socialism is coming. He is for the irresponsible people.

F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE F OLD PEOPLE

To rodney:
Obama said small town people cling to their guns. Sure they do when drafted into the military. Why did Obama not serve, rodney?

These morons have destroyed so much of our country, how dare they want more power! Unpatriotic morons.

We are in a idelogical cival war.
I’m so tired of fighting with conservatives and having to compromize my ideology and values.
Just switch party control ever 4-5 years or divide the country into 2 governments and be done with already! That way, conservative can do what ever the hell they want and librals the same.

“Sounds like republicans are getting bored of fu**ing their moms everyday”
Wow…now that’s isightful, chinky. You might want to clean the spit from your monitor.
Good Luck.

–Jr–Obama got into Harvard because he was black. Michelle got into Princton because she was black. Both refuse to release their high school or college grades. Why. So their lies do not stand out.

I have tried to get in the Air force! but I cant! I have the right grades at school and the intelligence! but just because I dont belong to the Admillars family like Mcain I cant!!. Please ask Mcsame how many plains he destroyed before he was caught by the Naams???

Where was Obama supposed to serve in the military, he was born in 1961, a little young for Vietnam don’t you think?
Did you “serve” Billw? But then you’d lie, so never mind.

To rodney:
How come Obama did not serve in the military?

Be very careful touting Palin’s record with accepting federal “pork.” Yes, she cancelled the “Bridge to Nowhere” when it became advantageous to do so (she was originally for it). BUT she kept the federal millions allocated for it for “other Alaskan projects.” Alaska still has it. I’d not define that as “rejecting” pork-barrel moneys. I’d call that lying.

Obam is out talking about the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac DISASTER the Republican Administration is handing to us right now on TV. And in a very intelligent way about what needs to be done to contain this NATIONAL EMERGENCY!!
All the while the “Maveric” that championed deregulation that was in part the cause of this disaster, is out showing his new pretty “one trick pony” to everyone!
Listening to those two talk makes me cringe…
What is Sarah proposing we do about this NATIONAL BANKING EMERGENCY? I guess we will never know, as McCain won’t let her have a press conference!!
You can hide your “new pony” forever McBush!!!
The longer you hide her, the worse it looks and the more inexperienced she looks as well!
How out of touch is McCain anyway?

I dunno Sam, why don’t you read them? Then, why don’t you compare them to the legislation sponsored or co-sponsored by McCain? Nevertheless, my point stands: To say that Obama hasn’t done anything, when he clearly has, is still a LIE.
So far, Obama has been co-sponsor on some pretty impressive bills, including the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (aka the Coburn-Obama Transparency Act)…which was co-sponsored by John McCain (betcha thought I’d leave that out, LOL). That is mighty impressive for a first-term senator. You must remember that Obama has done quite a bit considering the amount of time he’s been in the senate. He’s been co-sponsor or shared primary sponsorship on some rather important bills, the bill above being but one example.
You guys cannot even say Obama’s never been the primary sponsor on a passed bill, as he was indeed, being the lone primary sponsor for the Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act in 2006.
So, just stop lying. If you disagree on policy, fine. Don’t lie about his record, or anyone else’s for that matter (including McCain’s!!!). If you cannot win the argument based on the merits, and must instead try to win on character assassination, or building up aspects of your candidate’s personality, you don’t have a leg to stand on.

braggingright,
McCain was not in the Air Force. I was. If you had the grades the Air Force would not deny you. Of course you could look at the French Foreign Legion. They take anyone.

The mere fact there is national consensuse that the war was wrong, the economy is in the tank and Bush was the worst president of all time, half still support the republicans. How can people sell-out like this?
It’s astoundingly unbelievable. When will we learn? What needs to happen?
I’m embarrassed by our country. It really is disgraceful whats happened to us.

>Just one problem: We tried that in 1861. Unfortunately the liberals thought it was worth killing 620,000 Americans rather than allowing the Southern States to secede from the Union.
Not secede, 2 goverments by agreement.

WEll it lloks like you still might get your wish for secession, because Palin is evidentaly a closet member of the
AIP who she praises annually, you know the party that hope to create the breakaway republic of Alaska, so there ya go Ghosty Baby, Palin closely aligned with a party that calls America the great evil and want to have Alaska become a separate country…love to hear what you have to say

To rodney:
Still more humor for you:
Looks like the Obama’s goin’ down,
His hopes are fading for the crown.
So for all his wrongs
He’ll be where he belongs,

WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BE CALLED THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!

Hey rodney:
Here’s what I think (bottom line)
Obama is pals with the crook Rezko, the terrorist Ayers, and the anti-Americam racist Wright. Obama is just a shallow conniving, immoral gasbag.

stop being such a cry baby!

I think all of our founding fathers, Abe Lincoln, & Martin Luther King, are turning over in their graves right about now. This was not, and is not, what their vision for the UNITED States of America: to be divided by the color of our skin or the gender of the candidates. Just because your candidated didn’t win doesn’t mean you should stop believing in what the others stand for. No one likes looking at “the man in the mirror” because it shows the TRUE person to one’s self. Not vote for Obama because Hilary didn’t win?! Why not? Because he’s (ohmyGod) BLACK?! Not vote for McCain because he’s (ohmyGod) G. W. Bush?! Are we voting for what makes this country the GREATEST country in the world, or are we voting on,….? What we REALLY need is someone who is truly OF THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, & BY THE PEOPLE.

I think George Bush (almost) said it best (see “Fahrenheit 911″) – “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.” So, America, will we let ‘em fool us three times? What happens then? Shareholders and corporate boards get rid of executives that produce lousy results. And, they don’t replace them with new executives who expect to do the same things and get different results. We are all America’s “shareholders” and our congressmen and senators are our directors. Let’s give them a very strong message in November.

sandra
Stop race-baiting. I know you learned it from Obama but it’s really a mark of a moron!

That rodney sure is a silly little fellow.
Probably genetic.

The Palins have their own Rev. Wright. The leader of the secessionist party in Alaska said there is nothing I hate more in this world than the government of the USA. Palin said, Keep up the good work. McCain is in denial if he could possibly think that Palin is fit to govern the USA. Given the chance she would create a Christian theocracy with open season on endangered species, book burnings, and science. Apparently John McCain and the entire Republican Party are in denial. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. You’d best believe that we won’t get fooled again.

rodney – lives in a child’s world of assertions. He loves character assassination and mud-slinging. Beyond that, he offers nothing noteworthy at all.

9/11 is approaching. I wonder if Wright is planning a special “god damm America” speech?

Sam,
And name-calling is not the mark of a Moron?! Once again, I ask the question–what does the color or a person’s skin have to do with anything? I am looking for a candidate who has been where I have been, seen what I have seen, experienced what I have experienced. NOT ONE of those candidates have. Is there ANYONE who is truly OF THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, & BY THE PEOPLE? Is THAT too much to ask?

“I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD THE ANSWER ABOUT MCCAIN THE POW——I THOUGHT THAT YOU ARE UNINFORMED ABOUT HIM—–SOUND LIKE A COUPLE OF CHILDREN —TELL ME ABOUT MCCAIN.”
The answers that you seek can only be found at Huffpoop and the Dailykrud. They will feed you talking points that shall nourish you.

Go away little nut-job. And stay away until you can present a salient argument on anything. You are the worst of Obama’s army – assertions, mud-slinging, guilt by association, etc. The true mark of an illogical mind. And, (I hate to say it), a real slap at Obama. BHO could do better in his picks of advocates. Much better! He might even find a person who properly uses capitalization and grammar properly.

‘Change’ means not politicizing September 11 in a video shown at the Xcel Center while you forget to salute the troops your vote for war sent to Iraq. (John McCain)
‘Change’ means understanding we are occupying Iraq, rather than fulfilling the will of god. (Sarah Palin)
‘Change’ means running for president as an adult, not as two bottom of their class flunkies who didn’t do well at the naval academy (McCain) or came in runner up to a black woman for Miss Alaska 1984 (Palin).
‘Change’ means voting out the GOP in 2008.

Mack:
“Give him some credit, it’s extremely difficult to study when you’re stoned all the time.”
“Just a little blow when he could afford it”, Obama said in his book.
Wonder what now, considering the donations from Soros….
.

obama 49% mccain 43%…obama has lead every month…sorry its not gunna happen old people. just die already and stop stealing my social security.

What Change Obama?
Obama’s Change so far is just words no deed. infact the deeds are oposite, look at Biden the same 35 year old politics.. There is not even a dint of change.
McCain is the real change by deeds not just words. Palin is a perfect example of change and reform.

Palin is a distraction tactic brought to you by Rove and Schmidt to hide the fact that Mc Cain is wrong on nearly every issue. the Republicans are trying to steal the entire message that Barack brought to this election because it is what America wants. Would any of us take our car to the same mechanic that broke it the last time? No and we should not allow Mc Same to throw his party under a bus and then tell us he is different. He has adopted nearly every position fIrst brought to you by George w. and even read damn near the same acceptance speech..No originality here and damn sure no needed chAnge. CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN IS OBAMA BIDEN. NO WAY NO HOW NO MC SAME PALIN!

Obama’s change: More of the same only bigger.
McClain’s change: Clean DC of corruption.
Gosh, what change do I want?

Gary wrote: High gas prices and our foreign debt is the real reason our economy is having problems now.
Pretty much categorically untrue. The credit markets and falling housing prices are largely to blame for the disastrous economy–here and in Britain. Our falling credit markets hurt the rest of the world’s economy because we have so many foreign investors in our banks and in our bonds.
While the housing market is not exclusively the fault of the Bush administration, they have definitely supported any lack of regulation in the banks as well as a lack of regulation in Freddie and Fannie Mac, which are now going into conservatorship, at the demand of our foreign investors. By funneling so much of our nation’s money to Iraq, Bush has run up a huge deficit, which is primarily being funded by foreign investors, especially China. Contrary to what you like to believe, most economists claim that the rising energy prices are the RESULT of and not the CAUSE for: (1) the decreasing value of the dollar, largely due to the deficit; and (2) increased global demand for energy.
You seem to want to ignore this, but having a GIGANTIC deficit hurts your economy, especially when you have troubled credit markets. Independent economists have concluded that the McCain economic policy does not reduce spending even close to enough to make up for the continued tax breaks, which means that our deficit will continue to grow. In the meantime, while it takes AT LEAST 5 years for drilling or nuclear power to have ANY effect, we will still have the same vulnerabilities to the swinging credit markets that we have today.
If the economy is important to you, don’t vote McCain. I’m an Obama supporter, but I’d rather folks vote for Bob Barr than McCain. At least he’s a real fiscal conservative.

MCCAIN CLEAN UP DC CORRUPTON —HOW WHEN HE IS A PART OF IT.

Obama: Gangster lawyer and militant sympathizer. Just what we need!

ethel08,
Obama is for increasing the size of government by a TRILLION dollars. How is that going to reduce the deficit? Answer: It will increase the deficit.
Obama is for increasing taxes on businesses, the job producers, which will result kill the job market and thus reduce government revenue which will also increase the deficit.
Just what economic policy of Obama’s will reduce the deficit and not increase it? Answer: Obama’s economic policies will kill the job market, reduce tax revenue and grow the government by a TRILLION dollars which will make the deficit go sky high. So for Gods sake if you are a fiscal conservative don’t even think of voting for Obama. Stay home or better yet, vote for McCain/Palin.

Do you know why Palin has failed to talk to the press?
Because she’s having an intensive crash studies and the subjects are:
1)Introduction to American Economics-Course101.
2) Introduction to Foreign Policy and Startegies-Course 102.
It’s alright. It is within her right to study the above courses. But, the most unfortunate thing about the crash courses is that her professors are members of the Bush administration! And what does that tell you about Palin/Mccain ticket?
Meanwhile it’s no longer mccain/palin, but palin/mccain ticket.

Americans are tired of fighting. We’re tired of seeking out conflicts so we’ll have an excuse to give huge tax-payer funded contracts to our buddies. We’re tired of it. We’re tired of hearing how scary the world is when our trade policies are immediately responsible for the scariness. Working class people are tired of working harder for less because we’re terrified of losing our jobs. The real fight is here at home but John McCain doesn’t know how to pick his battles. Republicans don’t know how to pick their battles. They’re like untamed animals. Everything is a threat. How has this line of reasoning helped to advance American progress?

The real fight is here at home but John McCain doesn’t know how to pick his battles. Republicans don’t know how to pick their battles. They’re like untamed animals. Everything is a threat. How has this line of reasoning helped to advance American progress? — Hillary Smith
PRICELESS.

I suggest the press stop talking about Palin and stop reporting on any of her speeches until she grants media access. Fair is fair. Why should we have to see her re-run stump speech every day if we can’t have access to have her answer the hard questions?

I JUST KNOW ONE THING, AND THAT IS WE CANNOT AFFORD IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM ANOTHER 4 OR 8 YEARS LIKE THE PAST.
I IN MY WILDEST IMAGINATION CANNOT FIGURE HOW WE WILL GET OUT OF THE MESS OUR COUNTRY IS IN.
I JUST KNOW THAT MCCAIN IS PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE AS IT IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT GOT US HERE.VOTING WITH BUSH 95% OF THE TIME PROVES WHERE HE STANDS—-OBAMA MAY BE THE ONLY POSSIBLE CHANCE.
EXCUSE THE CAPS BAD EYES

Niccolò “M@chiavelli
Race-baiting. You learned from your master, the expert!

McCain IS A FLIP-FLOPPER. IF MCCAIN WINS THIS ELECTION, AMERICANS ARE REALLY STUPID. I SHALL PREPARE MYSELF FOR 4 MORE YEARS OF BUSH POLICIES
MITT ROMNEY 2012

Repubs never tell the truth unless it is politically or economically advantageous. These two candidates, will bring change alright…..a couple of dimes to rub together after they finish the job George Bush started.
McCain’s campaign is run by lobbyists and that man doesn’t understand what it’s like to not eat lunch so you can have dinner.
This is a joke. McCain/Palin are running “The Campaign To Nowhere.”

Niccolò “M@chiavelli: Sexist!

I JUST WONDER HOW MCCAIN GOT FROM CALLING HIS WIFE THE C WORD,CALLING HILLARY THE B WORD TO PALIN—–SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE.HE HAS NO RESPECT FOR WOMEN.

McCain only used “change” AFTER he saw it was working for Obama. McCain “used” a woman, AFTER he saw people loved Hillary. Everything McCain has done, has been AFTER the fact. Whatever Obama has said, McCain has tried to say it AFTER Obama has. What a joke!

dont know how you all feel ,but i still cannot get over china reaping the oil benifits from iraq—–has our government gone totally crazy or just that corrupt.i am outraged with the republican administration-
goodnight

Obama, community organizer: Registering the dead folk in Cook county as democrats.

Can’t wait until Michelle is allowed to speak in public.

Liberal and Proud: racist by his/her own admission.

Oh puleeeeeze! Obama lying again.
He has lobbyists on his campaign staff – and oil company CEOs are bundling for him.
And Biden continues LYING about how his family was killed…..
http://delawareonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080904/NEWS02/809040379
But don’t even look for that LIE to appear on TV.

Obama supporters must not worry! Key members of the Trilateral Commission have spoken with Sarah Palin and she is our princess now.
Our ruling party “The Trilateral Commission” will yet again control the executive branch, as we have since Jimmy Carter http://www.AugustReview.com

Palin has just become a member of the Trilateral Commission. Obama and Bill Clinton are also members of our private club.
So Vote for Obama or Palin… either way we will control the executive branch once again.

People who live in glass houses should not throw rocks. According to Concerned Citizens Against Government Waste
Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) 2007 rating was 10 percent, making his lifetime score 18 percent. The 2008 Congressional Pig Book contained 53 earmarks worth $97.4 million for Sen. Obama, including $1,648,850 for the Shedd Aquarium.
• Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) received the worst possible rating in 2007 with 0 percent, while his lifetime rating is 22 percent. According to the Pig Book, Sen. Biden had 70 earmarks for a total of $119.7 million in fiscal year 2008, including $246,100 for the Grand Opera House in Wilmington.
• Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) received a score of 100* percent and has a lifetime rating of 88, has never requested nor received a single earmark, and has pledged to veto any spending bill that contains any earmarks.

To all of you who are so concerned about the cost of Obama’s plan:
Have you considered this war in Iraq, which was unnecessary, harmful to the security of our country, unprovoked and justified with lies, will cost us as much or more? And that isn’t even counting the ~500 billion dollar annual defense budget.
Personally I would rather that we spend a trillion dollars on making our country and this world a better place, instead of using it to blow up people and make the rest of the world despise us.
I know you will want to tell me that the people we are blowing up are our enemies, and that we should deploy all of our resources to destroy them. There are a few problems with this though.
1) Many of the people whose lives we end up destroying were not the people we were targeting. The military has often been misinformed, and even when right our airstrike accuracy has been unexceptional at best.
2) Iraq was not the home of the people who attacked us on 9/11. Due to the incompetence of the military strategy (note that I say strategy and not ability to carry out missions), these people are now scattered around the globe, and gaining followers whose hate is fueled by the hubris of the American government.
3) In this interconnected world, it is foolish to think that an attack on another country will not come back to bite us. It is time to get over the nationalism and xenophobia of the past and realize that we are all on this one globe together. If America applied the principles of democracy abroad as well as she does at home, the world would be a better place. It is time to get over the cold-war mentality of our most senior politicians and realize that we have responsibilies as well as rights in our dealings with the rest of the world.
Some of you might call me unpatriotic, but I don’t think you understand. All I want is to be proud of the actions of my country, and I definitely have not been for the past eight years.
I hope all of you will join me in electing Obama to the presidency. While he is not perfect, he extends a modicum of hope that America can regain her footing and her pride in the next four year. Look beyond the dollar signs to the true cost of the Republican policies.

Obama somehow thinks that he owns that word “change”. It is his gimmick, and he does not want anyone else using it. It is his soundbite with little substance.
He used all of these tactics against Hillary Clinton, claiming that she was part of the old inside Washington crowd, and “untrustworthy”. Now, when he became so low in the polls, he picks Joe Biden, who has been there longer than almost everyone. Does that sound like a new Washington? Does that make you feel more secure at 3:00am?
McCain is no George Bush, and he has the scars to prove it. He has stood and fought for the right things, including the surge, which Obama finally admitted was successful. Unlike Obama, McCain has substance, experience, wisdom, and stands and fights for what he believes in. Obama promises to do everything, and Joe Biden knows that is not possible, even if Obama doesn’t. We need a priority list at this dangerous time: security, energy independence from foreign oil, and fiscal responsibility. The records of McCain and Palin prove who they are and what they stand for. We can trust them to do what is right for America. We cannot trust Obama. He is green, has a poor record, and he is a soundbite candidate deeply lacking in substance.
Change is what you actually do, not a vague promise. McCain and Palin have actually made change. With them, it is not empty soundbites without records to back them up.

why would anyone vote AGAINST making english the official language of the U.S. and giving social security to illegals what is Obama doing?
Don’t take my word for it, check it out for yourselves.

Orlando B. In war people die, how soon we all forget about 9/11. I am a vet with 2 children who are eligible to enlist, I would be very proud of them if they do so, but it is their choice. I don’t want them to go to Iraq and die but I am looking beyond me, I am looking at what is best for the country. I have been to Iraq and seen the JOY they have that we are there saving their country. Unless you’ve been there you can’t know the joy in that. those people help vindicate us being there. I don’t want to see ANYONE die but in war it happens and when you consider the amount of troops there vs. the number that has died it is under 8% making this war our least deadly. I am not making light of death but the end result will be worth it. Sorry if I am coming across as a war monger I am not, but I am facing the facts, us leaving will have devasting effects on US.

Emperor Obama has no clothes, and it’s starting to show: “stupid”?! Wow, that’s high-minded.
About the word “change”, Gov. Palin said it well the other night:
“In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers.
And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.”
Like I’ve been saying for the last month or so: McCain is the REAL change, the REAL One.

Obama will be no beter than chamberlin with agressive nations. This is why We need strong leaders not Wimps. If We had to Fight WW2 today Hitler would be sitting in the oval office. Follow this link to Remember Whey somtimes We have to fight. Watch this film link.

Obama is too much of a lighning rod. His perceived lack of patriotism, his 23 year association with Rev. Wright, his voting NOT TO make english the official U.S. language His wanting to give illegal aliens Social Security Benefits are all reasons NOT to vote for him in November.

Look at the change people down, how they change.
http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=184086&title=sarah-palin-gender-card

Johnny McSame is a pathetic excuse for a human being as he tries to steal the mantle of change from Sen. Barack Obama. To hear this bed mate of George W. Bush talking about change is like listening to Adolf Hitler speaking about humility. No matter how McSame attempts to disguise it, the only change he has ever been concerned about is the status of the cancer that seems to have reached his brain. This is proved beyond any doubt by his selection of Sarah Palin to be his running mate. Though the most important decision McSame had to make at this time, he obviously threw out rationality and reality in favor of a novelty he believes will help his campaign. Given the reckless, dangerous, and irresponsible nature of this decision, McSame cannot complain about Sen. Barack Obama’s alleged lack of experience and judgment. McSame just proved to the world that experience (he’s been in the Senate forever) does not bestow on a person wisdom, prudence, and reasonableness in the realm of decision making. Impulsive and rash, Johnny McSame is the last person we need in the White House during this troubled period in our nation’s history, when conservatism has just about managed to destroy the country. A madman and a crook -what a pair the G.O.P. has chosen to lead this country. No way, no how, no Johnny McSame. Obama/Biden 2008!!!

caliguy55, you can’t possibly believe the stuff you are writng comparing Bush wish Hitler, I’m sure your party loves to hear that. You keep on thinking that, it will make the GOP even more marketable.

If you listened to Obama;s inner spirit you would see he is in it for himself. Community service makes him a good leader? I have spent many years performing community service as well, to special olympics and what not does that make me a good leader? As for personal experience enlighten me.

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

Compare their intellect as you listen to their inner/true spirit and real integrity. I discern above the politics that Obama is the man. He is intellectually and spiritually better equipped and qualified (by his ‘community service and personal experiences,)far beyond both John and Sarah combined (many times over) for me to entrust the CHANGE we need in America now and for generations to come to him.

You are right, Mr. Tucker Bounds, Barack Obama has no record to back it up and isn’t ready to make change. You are right, because he is a brand new and clean slate for the electors to write on. That is YOUR opinion. What really matters is what Senator Obama has been saying throughout the last 20 months: This election is about the American voters, it’s not about him, it’s not about Biden, McCain or Palin. Also, when McCain/palin talk about Change coming to Washington, they too are right: OBAMA THE MAN IS THE BIG CHANGE THAT IS COMING TO WASHINGTON! HE ROCKS!!!!! 2008 Obama is the Man! Obama is the Change we can believe in!!

Look, who is talking? We have seen what change message Sen Obama follows, by using the charm of the word per se, to beat down Sen Clinton. He accused Sen Clinton of belonging to divisive old style Washington politics, while getting the blessings and lobbying with the Kennedys, the Kerrys, the Pelosis and all. His choice of his running mate shows how much he believes in his own words! If we look at his post-primary season sprint towards the other extreme on every issue that he argued for during the primary season, his message of change appears hollow. He gives a rousing speech on race but he hides behind the privilege of belonging to a particular community, every now and then crying wolf about it to deflect all critcisms and questions about his credentials, as he tried to do against the republicans, but now avoids it when his campaign was rapped in the knuckles for the same. The McCain campaign has been able to checkmate him on his key messages post-convention. Their key messages have been diluted significantly. One can understand the anguish on their part, that someone could just hijack their own mesages the way they did during the primary campaign.

John McCain knows all to well the policies of George W. Bush, because he has supported them for two years as the pound of flesh he had to pay to get into one of the two major parties.
He wanted to be the big kahuna, and was willing to sell out his values to do it.
Now, he wants to market himself as a change agent like Barack Obama, to get himself into the presidency, and is saying, “Me too! I want change too!”
But when the Republicans say they want more of the same, he says, “Me too! I’ll keep all the tax cuts, and the foreign policy ideas, and the corporate giveaways! Me too!”
You can’t play both sides, Senator McCain. And even if you could, “Me too!” isn’t leadership — it’s plagiarism.

Please let us me more demanding. America deserves Ivy leaguers in its white house. We are the greatest nation. We should elect the smart ones this time around. Make your pick. Act smart, choose smart. Obama/Biden 08, Now that’s country first.

The only change Obama has ever done is change his drug dealer in college. Voting Present 130 times instead of Yes or No is what he has done in his current position. What an educated joke…

Hey Kat09tales, “psychological testing for these candidates?” if we did then Obama would have dropped out of the race 19 months ago. Obama has not been vetted! His associations with extremely bad people are going to destroy him in the fall.

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

Hussein is merely the Dems puppet..with out a teleprompter he’s lost. He’s still trying to name the 57 States. And in Springfield, was confused as to who was actually running for president when he introduced Biden. As an accomplishment..he has made a good argument against “no child left behind and affirmative action”

The post in refence to “whites won’t vote for Barrack because he’s black”, is a ridiculous statement. I’d vote for Colin Powell in a minute. You know why? It’s called experience. Obama talks the talk…he’s just never walked the walk. Voting present, does not a qualified candidate make. What happened to the Democrats? Thay have all lost their minds. And to think, I used to be a Democrat. Not this election

As the mayor of Wasilla, Gov. Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the tow totaling $27 million. In her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation. While Palin notes she rejected plans to build a $398 million bridge from Ketchikan to an island with 50 residents and an airport, the opposition came only after the plan was ridiculed nationally as a “bridge to nowhere. Plus, she did not return the money to the federal goverment.
So much for protecting the the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending and championing reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress.
McCain and Palin do nothing but lie and make up stuff to advance their political ambition.

Obama is crying about McCain & Palin using the word ‘Change” in their campaigns … but, in the real world, McCain & Palin have actually changed the government … have fought political special interest groups, and brought reform … have successfully worked across the aisle … have brought us important new legislation … while Obama hasn’t accomplished anything … and has only used the term ‘Change’ as a campaign slogan.

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

Dear concerned citizens of America and mass media of the U.S.A.{ Politics First and Country Last}
As a concerned disabled American Veteran and American citizen, I consider it my duty and responsibility to address the following critical issues facing the voters of our Greatgrand nation, the United States of America [USA].
The citizens of the United States of America [USA] have the ultimate power and responsibility to elect the Right Ticket with the right joint “temperament, judgement, and statesmanship” to lead our nation as well as change our nation’s present and future moral, political, economic, educational, health care, energy, military, and foundational soul.
In my firm professional, personal, and political opinion, the media should help the common voter to explore and discuss the following attributes of the present Republican and Democratic presidential slates:
1. Does the joint ticket have a calm, cool, and collected ” temper and impulse” [Presidential Temperament]?
2. Does each ticket have sound and sustained “Judgment and Caliber”?
3. Does each ticket have a “presidential depth and degree” in regard to their purpose, policies, and positions?
4. Does each ticket have adequate, “understanding and knowledge” of workings around Washington”?
5. Does each ticket have enough “vigor, wisdom and Vision” for the future of our beloved Great-grand Nation?
6. Does each ticket possess enough joint foreign policy experience and exposure based on “American Values, Virtues, Vastness, and strong soul”?
7. Are their campaign talk, slogans, ads, plans, and programs based on facts and are they free of fear, fiction, frivolous labels, unfair attacks, negativity, and impulsivity? [Danger to country and countries mission[s].
8. Does the ticket keep country or politics first? [McCain stole Obama's change and is running with it.]
As a Independent registered voter I have decided to vote for the Obama-Biden ticket. I am sure they will protect our national security, strengths, stamina and soul as well as rebuild our nation from the bottom up in all areas of need. The OBAMA-BIDEN ticket will restore our global standing with the use of maximum, firm international diplomacy and minimal force if and when indicated.
Yours sincerely,
COL. A.M. Khajawall [Ret] MD., Forensic psychiatrist, Colonel, US-AR / MC Combat Stress Control[Ret], Disabled American Veteran and Iraq Freedom team.
PS: This nation will not buy into the kitchen sink strategy. We are getting deeper into internal and external holes through these attacks and the world is laughing at us as they enjoy our partisan Pitt Bull wounds inflicted on hard working Americans. So called Maverick McCain has put polities First and Country Last by impulsively choosing Saran Palin as his running mate. A heart beat away form presidency. His this act further confirms that he is impulsive, stubborn, temperamental, and self aggrandizement. Bad for America and all around.

Thousands of jobs have been lost in recent years, and thousands more are falling away, I have been in Michigan watching the auto industry for these past 8 years.
Health care costs are rising, I see people struggling with this- as a full time nurse working in a health care setting.
People are losing their homes to foreclosure, it’s all around us in every state, and our economy is suffering beyond measure.
The educational system is crying out for help and every promise by this last administration to help fix this has been broken.
Autistic children are being born every minute- why? What is going on and why has nobody yet offered a valid reason?
Americans have been at war for the majority of this republican administration, a great portion of thinking American people feel lied to, ripped off, powerless and non trusting toward our government.
Many of us still remember the sense of elections being stolen and have no reason to believe that anyone in our current administration will make any notable changes. We are watching politicians sell their soul for a vote, and put themselves above the good of our country.
Our country is divided- made up of good people, but divided.
Our global environment is falling apart, we are not innocent in having a part to do with this, and good people who have dedicated their entire lives to studying why and figuring out solutions- they are being ignored and belittled by a government who would rather spend billions and billions and billions on war.
I see a government who has based its’ success on the ignorance of it’s sheeple.
I see a government run by power hungry rich people who haven’t spent our tax money on the improvement of infrastructure, keeping jobs here in America or improving our health care crisis- not to mention this sudden influx of special needs children.
Washington Post and Huffington Post both report that Palin cut funding to teens. This is an issue many care about and if it is untrue then so be it, that part is a relief I guess . . . though it still does not take away from other significant red flags-
She did cut the special needs education programs in her state by 60 %, and now she is standing on a platform as a special needs advocate. She did leave her small town 22 million dollars in debt and God help us if her economic skills translate to a broader scale in America.
She has petitioned to take polar bears off the endangered species list, her church speech transcripts show her statements of belief that Iraq war is God directed and if we pray hard enough we can get this pipe built through Alaska and gays will convert, and she advocates teaching creationism rather than evolution in schools- and no sex education w/ abstinance rather than protection.
If we thought White Water was bad . . . what IF this bi partisan 12-0 vote for an ethics probe regarding abuse of power as a leader- actually has substance and she’s suddenly our national leader? I can’t stomache anymore ethics issues with leaders, can you?
We brush off that her announcement of selling a plane on ebay was not technically a sale on ebay but really a sale of significant loss to her state and not on ebay after all- or that she keeps important secrets and can lie so well already.
We brush off that she didn’t address the fact that after lobbying for money for the bridge to nowhere and taking a significant amount of money from the government to fund this, she decided against it and then didn’t give back the money still leaving a huge debt to the people.
It’s okay that she may not be living up to certain family values that maternal instinct would have our insides screaming about in any other situation -with a friend or family member. We seem to be so caught up in women lib issues that we can’t see anything straight-
I want to hear her actually speak off the cuff.
I want to listen to her in actual interviews outside of a written speech- without stabbing one liners- And despite eye rolling reactions when I mention this- her speech really WAS written by the Bush speech writer and from a platform of change, this both scares and offends.
Our lives, our America, our country- WE are at stake here, and yet she is not being allowed to grant interviews?
It’s not about no permission for a Heart song- or her unwed teenage daughter- it’s about how all these little things add up to reflect the character of a ticket, of AMERICA of our reputation in this world.
After reading the Tucker interview I lose sleep over what might happen to our country if we once again choose to vote for this flavor of republican ticket.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/05/brown.bounds/index.html
Our government and this administration let us down in ways difficult to forgive, and there are so many issues at stake besides high gas prices. This ticket supports more war- and though words come out of mouths screaming ‘change!’ – I heard no ridicule from the RNC of the very administration which supposedly provoked such a motivation for change recently.
I am mortified by the death and destruction of these past 8 years and want solutions, real ones that involve not killing. I believe in keeping our guns, but I’m not turned on by a VP with a gun in all these photos.
Now that we are in such a world crisis- at least humor us with a ticket that is strong on foreign policy and hope for PEACE, one that doesn’t leave us fearful that the one person on the ticket- a decorated war hero who has some experience – is older than the comfort zone for a president while the other didn’t get her first passport until 2007 and has no record of any foreign policy decision in her 20 months of governing . . . as the national guard is controlled by the pentagon.
I’m saddened by what I’ve seen in the Vet hospitals and in mental health care facilities concerning care of our vets.
I’m scared that both of these people are not strong on economy and we are in a crisis- we need some educated boring people to just help us out right now- no more drama, mud and crisis please.
I see no solutions being discussed by the RNC ticket for these issues. I search for hope in news articles and in voting records, biographies, autobiographies and in debate and I find none.
Thankfully folks like Happy and others who see things on the opposite side of this, do correct the limited facts reported by media sources from time to time- but this still doesn’t fix it for me.
This ticket has me losing sleep . . . I’m shocked and afraid that I heard nothing in any of the RNC speeches I could wrap my trust around about the future empowerment of this country.
I watched it, like many other open minded independents and Democrats did, searching for a sense of security in case Obama doesn’t make it.
Where were the specifics about health care and educational improvement, poverty and PEACE? Where was the encouragement and thanks to American people for community service-we were going through a hurricane there were people out there giving and helping- and listening to that convention . . . are these politicians so very out of touch?
Where was talk of educational values, economic growth, and environmental protection?
Time and again we as advisors advocate for ‘what you focus on expands’ the democratic speakers in my eyes, were so positive and uplifting- I felt real hope for this earth and our American future.
The RNC used fear, the entire platform running seemingly on war-
Yes McCain is a good man and a war hero like many other war heroes . . . honorable, yes, though I don’t sense he is connected with America in ways that will assist us to climb out of this black hole we are in.
This ticket scares me.
In a McCain/Palin world I see women’s control of their bodies taken away and our children drafted to wars.
Finally I must say that to distract us from the real issues – this smoke and mirror tactic of gender- being untouchable, feeling attacked regarding interviews- the greatest insult of this ticket-
. . . and the critism of Obama not being experienced and then choosing someone less experienced for VP to publically compare him to . . . these Moses, Britney/Hilton ads . . . I pray that our America will not go blindly toward more self destruction and suffering.
Oil isn’t worth sacrificing all these other pressing issues for- and there are so many other ways to live besides dependence on fossil fuel without a plan.
Research and gradual moving away from this dependence . . . taking about ten years which is very reasonable per Obama . . . is one answer that will bring a lasting solution.
Speaking of Obama, to his credit he has run a beautiful campaign managing an enormous staff and amounts of money. He has raised this money with no lobby donations. He has been deeply scrutinized and handled the ridicule and constant research of his life with grace, I sense compassion for people from him, he continues to grant interviews- even to those who hate him, and he offers real solutions with many details- to my satisfaction.
His deep respect of, and brilliance in community organization, has brought him this far.
He and his wife have a history of community organizing and enough global awareness and foreign policy experience to make decent decisions in times of crisis. I see real partnership and joy in his family life. I’ve had time to think about, check out and debate the facts about him, we’ve put his feet to the fire and he’s still standing.
He has proven his abilities and has been researched, interviewed and judged for months by us, and passed the American test- enough to keep a solid base of supporters and become the nominee for president.
It’s not about ridicule, put downs, amniotic fluid, cultural bias- it’s not even about evil or good, it’s about who is most qualified to run our country at this particular time.
It’s about the suprise on America of a VP who comes with suspicious scandal and we are not given enough time to get to know her- which reflects on EVERYTHING about how decisions would be made and our country would be run if we elect this ticket to leadership.
Right now the most politically incorrect thing to do is NOT speak up- and I pray all Americans put their neutral caps on and really do some research- beyond the media- beyond what their family voting tradition is, beyond their prejudices about gender or race . . . just feel the pulse of this country and examine both tickets until beyond a doubt and without prejudice, a clear headed decision is made.
To boring Biden’s credit, he wrote the Violence Against Women Act and constantly is tweaking it as real life goes along. He is a pro life person who doesn’t believe in pushing this issue legally. He knows his way around Washington and contrary to the popular CHANGE slogan, that is a very good thing- he’s a strong and experienced decent man, one who will help fix this country’s desperate problems-.
The ISSUES, political agenda, and moral character . . . over looked due to smoke and mirror tactics- on both sides.
I know that my essay here will not be popular- but I’m not being a very well minded woman right now, am I?
Forgive me these honest, bold statements of my thoughts and feelings, I am a woman -and you know what they say- the Goddess energy is emerging these days . . .

The reason many Democrats will not vote for Obama is because they are embarrassed of him, his life, his unfair tactics and his beliefs. And they still don’t know all about him.

Do Not Vote For Palin!

Change.. ?
If you take office after the most corrupt governor in the nation of Alaska, anyone.. anyone.. will be a “change and reformer”. It’s like any color is lighter when compared to black. They’ll advertise that– that’s a given. The question is how much change and reform- the %? Putting items on sale for ebay at a cost-loss does not cut it. I just don’t see strong evidence for any change– just lots of energy and excitement- that’s it.
I would have liked to see Palin go against McCain himself in the speech.. but it was all roses about him. No indication whatsover- that she may give him a run for his money on the issues or policies at all.
A STATUS QUO BY ANY OTHER NAME IS STILL THE SAME.
