Obama’s Race to Lose; Pressure Points on Palin

Does anyone know when Sarah said “In Alaska, many people are depressed during the cold winters. That’s experience I have that our opponents don’t. I think Prosac works well for many.” Surely she is not that clueless.

95 Democrats over 60% voted against the bail-out—Obama has done NOTHING to bring his party together. Obama has text messaged, phone in his thoughts to Paulson and Nancy Pelosi. Obama does not care in the least about this crisis except that it is benefiting him now…so he doesn’t care. The point is to win for Obama and if American’s get tossed under the bus its okay, that is his style.

I believe Obama has already won the presidential race. If you look back in History, whomever leads from mid September to early October wins the presidency. Gore started losing ground by late September to Bush. Kerry lost the race by late August to Bush.
The time for McCain to make a run has long passed.

At this point we all know that Palin is not fit to be president, as much as we may not like to hear this is true, in contrast Sen. Obama showed that hey can hold his own and is very capable. In regards to Biden well he may be the most qualify to be president his knowledge in foreign policy is rated best to none. Palin may be coached to do better and I suspect she will do a lot better in the up-coming event but it does not mean that she can errase the fact that when she is on her own she does not have a clue. As a moderate republican I will put party aside and cast my vote for Sen. Obama

I realy belive that the reason McCain has lost so much ground is because he choose Palin out of spite and hes has taken to many positions and none of them have proven to work. Every day he gets in a bigger hole. Palin may peform better in the up coming debate but it does not make her fit to lead this nation. Obama/Biden is the best team this time around. I agree as an independent voter I dont like what I see with McCain errotic actions. McCain has made himself scary and Palin scarier.

Obama will win and be impeached AND removed from office within his first year. Joe Biden will serve the rest of
his term and not run for office in 2012.
Leaving the window open for Hillary Clinton.
So what?

For Obama to put out the ad that
Mc Cain doesn’t look at Black People…….and for the media to air it
says alot about who we should vote for.
Mc Cain for President.
———————————-
Peg,
This is the reason McCain is loosing big time because the lies that has come out of his camp are just enormous to sday the least. Here you go again lying. When someone lies its very hard to look someone square in the Eye. McCain looked angry, out of touch with the reality of America, the fact is he lost the debate. Thats a fact not a made up-lie. There is no such ad, you are lying. Shamefull!!! Lets not forget Barack is as white as hes is brown. Peg instead of preaching hatred go out and speak about peace, love, fairnes..Thats a true christain. Remeber dont lie or you will go to hell.

95 Democrats over 60% voted against the bail-out—Obama has done NOTHING to bring his party together.
—————————
You may want to look again before you start spewing; 2/3 of Dems voted FOR the buy out.
2/3 of Republicans voted against it.
So, one more time, who has done nothing to bring his party together?

WHAT exactly does a “community organizer” do? Barack Obama’s rise has left many Americans asking themselves that question. Here’s a big part of the answer: Community organizers intimidate banks into making high-risk loans to customers with poor credit.
In the name of fairness to minorities, community organizers occupy private offices, chant inside bank lobbies, and confront executives at their homes – and thereby force financial institutions to direct hundreds of millions of dollars in mortgages to low-credit customers.
In other words, community organizers help to undermine the US economy by pushing the banking system into a sinkhole of bad loans. And Obama has spent years training and funding the organizers who do it.

I agree with JAY. MCCAIN/PALIN a disaster team.

HILLARY SAID IT LOUD AND CLEAR!!!NO WAY NO HOW NO MCCAIN/PALIN

What do businesses do when their taxes are raised in this country?
They move their business to a country with less tax.
Let Obama become president, so that all of this supporters will have to move to a foreign country to keep their jobs.

Angelo, Um what? you obviously like Hillary but doubt Obama will get impeached…would like to see legal action against Cheney though, he has undermined the Constitution at every opportunity. Rumsfield should be up their as well, no way he didn’t no what was happening in those prisons. & Peg I assume your talking about that Rush Limbaugh ad? yea it is pretty bad but I don’t think either candidate (McCain Or Obama) really have much to do with the attack ads, thats left to the campaign. You really think McCain felt Obama wanted to teach Sex Ed to PreSchoolers? I really don’t think he did. But with politics before you can make change you have to be in a position to carry out change. Sad but true. Both sides are responsible for this economic mess both had time controlling the Congress & neither did anything. Now neither wants to be seen as to be wholly responsible for the bill (thats why the democrats didn’t carry the bill themselves). Both sides want to be reelected & a bipartisan deal would take away sole responsiblity. Dems agreed to get 120-140 votes, Rep 70-100. Thats where it fell down. It will get done but there going to be some pain before it does! We will bounce back stronger we always do.

mr scum:
what do you think Obama is going to do with a failed economy?
Raise taxes on businesses and the wealthy, which translates to hirer prices to you and me, you know the 95% that will get that wopping $1000.
Which will be gone just pay the hirer prices.
Obama will will and be impeached AND removed from office within one year.
So what?

HP Boston,
First, get a job or find something constructive to do because you are spending way too much time spewing hate and anger. You need to open your eyes and grow up…
Second, get used to hearing President Obama because he will win so get over it.

THE seeds of today’s financial meltdown lie in the Commu nity Reinvestment Act – a law passed in 1977 and made riskier by unwise amendments and regulatory rulings in later decades.
CRA was meant to encourage banks to make loans to high-risk borrowers, often minorities living in unstable neighborhoods. That has provided an opening to radical groups like ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) to abuse the law by forcing banks to make hundreds of millions of dollars in “subprime” loans to often uncreditworthy poor and minority customers.
Any bank that wants to expand or merge with another has to show it has complied with CRA – and approval can be held up by complaints filed by groups like ACORN.
In fact, intimidation tactics, public charges of racism and threats to use CRA to block business expansion have enabled ACORN to extract hundreds of millions of dollars in loans and contributions from America’s financial institutions.
Banks already overexposed by these shaky loans were pushed still further in the wrong direction when government-sponsored Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac began buying up their bad loans and offering them for sale on world markets.

Um,Ann. The bill didn’t pass because of the republican vote. And Obama isn’t president…yet. He dosen’t run congress. And if republicans kept up their 70% of the bargain, it would have passed. Where was McCain?

HP,
Again your lack of credibilty shows.
The banking collapse had absolutely nothing to do with community organizers. It’s another rediculous analogy. But as always, you have to stretch to try and find something negative to say about Obama.
In 2004, the SEC loosened regulations requiring that banks hold $1 for every $12 loaned and changed it to $1 for every $40 dollars loaned. They allowed only five banks to change their holdings-to-loan ratio and guess which five just collapsed?
Changing the debt ratios made it so that even a small number of defaults would collapse the system. The fall in the housing market made the collape inevitable. Thank you deregulators! (McSame)
The other issue stems from the way banks traded insured loans. In simplistic terms, they were all just insuring each other. So when one fell, they all fell. The changes in this policy began in the mid ’90′s.
So give up trying to blame Barack. Anyone with any sense knows it had nothing to do with him. You CAN blame the stauch supporters of deregulation. This would include John McCain and friends.

Anyone who wins and it will probably be Obama, the are going to have to solve a lot of problems.
Raising anyone’s taxes are not going solve the problem. Companies will just move their business to another country.
Say goodbye to your job, say goodbye to the taxpayers who had those jobs.
Barrack Obama, a one year term.
And then what will we have, and old, white man, as president.

I think bringing socialism/communism to a the United States of America is treason.
Good Luck and Goodbye!

Fannie and Freddie acted in response to Clinton administration pressure to boost homeownership rates among minorities and the poor. However compassionate the motive, the result of this systematic disregard for normal credit standards has been financial disaster.
ONE key pioneer of ACORN’s subprime-loan shakedown racket was Madeline Talbott – an activist with extensive ties to Barack Obama. She was also in on the ground floor of the disastrous turn in Fannie Mae’s mortgage policies.
Long the director of Chicago ACORN, Talbott is a specialist in “direct action” – organizers’ term for their militant tactics of intimidation and disruption. Perhaps her most famous stunt was leading a group of ACORN protesters breaking into a meeting of the Chicago City Council to push for a “living wage” law, shouting in defiance as she was arrested for mob action and disorderly conduct. But her real legacy may be her drive to push banks into making risky mortgage loans.

WHAT?????

O’S DANGEROUS PALS
BARACK’S ‘ORGANIZER’ BUDS PUSHED FOR BAD MORTGAGES
Comment By STANLEY KURTZ
NEW YORK TIMES

The sad thing is how we hold on to our fears inspite of the truth. It’s like sitting in the Dr.’s office getting the news you have only 2-3 weeks to live. Of course there is a time of unbelief, but at some point you come to grips with it all. We have gotten the diagnosis, a trillion dollar war, trillion dollar debt, unqualified candidates and superheroes leaping from all buildings (I am going to suspend my campaign), yet we just can’t accept it. But I am fair, as long as when you get behind that curtain on November 4th and vote American, vote this ain’t right and I won’t take it no more, it’s ok with me. OBAMA 2008!!

A lot of people got really angry when Obama said they were bitter, and angry.. Now all I hear in the media is how angry and bitter people are.. Why is it when he said it, it was so terrible, but now it’s ok for everyone to be bitter and angry… It’s ironic how a lot of the things he’s said in the past are actually coming to pass. I need someone in the media to explain why it’s ok now to acknowledge people are angry, but it wasn’t when the Senator said it…

People KNOW that Obama (and democrats) played a major part in this current crisis, and how the democrats wanted 20% of the BAILOUT?RESCUE money to go to organizations like ACORN….Obama THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZER!!!

Vaness, you might be right, but, remember the media seemed truly shocked when Kerry lost as did the Dems in general. They were convinced they’d win, as was Gore and the Dems back then too. Don’t necesarily believe all the spin the media puts out there–it often actually helps the repubs as they feel mre compelled to make their vote count and it suppresses the Dems with some thinking they don’t need to bother to vote as its a shoe in.

People KNOW that Obama (and democrats) played a major part in this current crisis, and how the democrats wanted 20% of the BAILOUT?RESCUE money to go to organizations like ACORN….Obama THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZER!!!

“By nearly all accounts, Obama won the first debate”
except for real people accounts like the drudge poll. The bailout collapse shows how far ou tof touch the Obama loving media is with America.

McCain put his campaign on hold and went back to DC to do his job. Obama stayed in Florida and crammed for the debate. Looks like we have one candidate who puts the country first and one who puts his own political career first. Sometimes Obama votes “present”. Sometimes he isn’t able to vote that way. You folks in Illinois need to take note and remember that when Obama is running for re-election.

Tanya, teh WND link is most intersting of all as it quotes some pretty damning stuff Obama himself worte in his books. Very interesting! I woul say he;s mastered spin quite well, wouldn’t you?
It’s like how he talked about seeing one America, not red and blue, and yet he has never really reached across the aisle but has voted consistenyl liberal and DNC each time. Compare that to McCain who has often voted against his party–so if his is only 10% change, it’s still 10 times more than O’s to his liberal base! So much for reaching across teh aisle! He’ll say whatever but his words don’t match his actuaul experience.

Sara palin is a shame to her own party, a woman who cannot control her own family let alone the entire US whiles girls are struggling to enter UNI’S her daugther is pregrant at the age of 17. good for REPUBLICANS and maccain.

It’s sad how people would rather vote on race than the REAL ISSUES! I am only 14 and I care more about the campaign than people who are older than I am.
GO OBAMA!!

RE: McCain put his campaign on hold.
Don’t be ridiculous. His commercials ran, his V.P. was talking to the media, his campaign volunteers were still in full force and didn’t even know about the “suspension”. His call for “campaign suspension” was a campaign in itself.

Olga, I commend you for being involved at such a young age–if only more teens cared abou the issues too.

Mark-PA,
You are a Republican who thinks with his head. You are making the right move.
More Republicans should think like you. We must have intelligent people (Obama/Biden) and we must not support McCain/Palin, why? Because we all have watched her (K. Couric and C. Gibson). Nothing personal, but I cannot support McCain for his lack of judgment (when he picked Palin) and cannot support Palin because she is not prepared to be VP nor president of the United States.

Dear Oonogil, somehow it must have escaped your attention that McCain was just disturbing the process on Capitol Hill on Thursday by trying to politicize the fragile process. In the meeting he spoke only one sentence all in the end. I guess he could have done this contribution by phone which I think would have been a more practical solution.
And as to his noble reasons to put the country first: he said in his 2002 memoir, “Worth the Fighting For”: “I didn’t decide to run for president to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be president because it had become my ambition to be president. . . . In truth, I’d had the ambition for a long time.”)

On the Amendment S.Amdt. 1234 to S.Amdt. 1150 to S. 1348 (Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007)
To save American taxpayers up to $24 billion in the 10 years after passage of this Act, by preventing the earned income tax credit, which is, according to the Congressional Research Service, the largest anti-poverty entitlement program of the Federal Government, from being claimed by Y temporary workers or illegal aliens given status by this Act until they adjust to legal permanent resident status.
Obama nay
McCain yea

On the Motion (Motion to Waive CBA Re: Allard Amendment No. 521)
To improve the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of Federal programs and reduce the Federal debt by eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse.
Obama Nay
McCain yea

The Republican campaign will stop at nothing to make the next stage of the race even more nasty and dirty. I would be surprised if Palin is not going to be underhanded and mocking in the debate. This is the only thing that she has so far been good at. Again, lots of distractions from issues are expected. The question is: just how mindless are Americans? Do Americans deserve the decline if they choose to have McCain/Palin in the office?

ANN:
Stop being silly!

Tanya Eddy-
Obama opposed the war in Iraq from the beginning. You are wrong about his voting records against the war funding. He voted no when there was no timeline on one bill. He voted yes when another bill included the timeline.
Don’t let your hatred run over your head. This is an important election season where you have to make the choice based on the issues and people that the candidates represent. McCain cares NOT about your average Joes. He wants to disband public education. He wants everybody to pay for their own healthcare (his supposed tax credit is not enough to cover any healthcare). He voted 19 times against benefits for veterans. He clearly stands with the wealthiest – not necessarily because he doesn’t care about the middle-class or the poor, but because he doesn’t live the lives they live and he is out of touch.

HP, Please tell me again what I know Obama played a part in. B/c the FACTS as I see them are 1) Jimmy Carter in the 70′s signed the community act, many Presidents have made changes to it, thus far, Obama has not been a President.
Ann,
You should come back and defend your irrelvent comments. Being as we all do our research and educate ppl and eachother and you just babble things you seem to know nothing about, as many other users have pointed out. The voting of the bill was an easy google find. Stop watching Fox.

John McCain, like everyone else, will die someday.
Unlike the rest of us, however, he could die in the White House, where he would be 80 at the end of two terms. So it’s rather surprising that as the general election hits the homestretch, the McCain campaign has effectively squashed efforts by journalists, medical experts and the political class to fully examine his medical records.
The most recent review of McCain’s records cannot be described as independent or thorough. In May, the campaign gave a limited group of reporters only three hours to review thousands of documents. Aside from the time limit, the selected reporters were “ensconced” in a cone of silence, as CNN reported. The campaign banned the use of cell phones or e-mail for journalists, who might have consulted with experts while assessing the medical information. It’s not clear why so many news outlets consented to such terms.

BULLETIN: Voter fraud HUGE issue this year because of ACORN…the group that Obama was an instructor on voter registration…many ACORN people have been convicted and many are now indicted in voter registration fraud and it is going on as we speak! What the hell has this country come to when you cannot trust your vote to count and you cannot trust your elected politicians in Washington….will this election be bought by ACORN with YOUR dollars…since their money comes from our government in the form of YOUR tax dollars!! Somebody better do something and do it NOW!!!

If you do not know about ACORN..just Google..Acorn scandals and you can view the extent of their involvement in voter fraud…you will be surprised to see it is all over this country! Google..ACORN Scandal it will pop right up!!!

barbara c. collins: Vote for the candidate of your choice. What makes you think that Obama has so much experience? All his speeches on the platform were copied from other’s. He has close ties to crooks, was a racist, anti-american and attended a racist church for 20 years. My opinion is McCain is a true American and anyone who would vote for an anti-american racist is not a true American of this country and we have thousands of them sitting listening to Obama.

and NIK
nice try but that isn’t what he said
but the republicans like yourself are doing the same thing you have done for 8 years
lie
to cover up your destruction of our nation.

abby: I don’t know what your smoking but you must have got some pot from Obama. McCain doesn’t own all those houses. He has one in Arizona. Cindy owns the houses and condos. Her family had two before her father died and left her the financial. Get a grip. If you know how to read start it.

Okay, Obama haters. I know it hurts to face the truth and to see defeat coming down the road at you at 90 mph. But you have to accept it at some point. You constantly spout these totally riduculous assertions that Obama’s “group” caused this financial collapse and he lied in his books (why would someone lie in a book he writes, knowing full well that whatever they say could be easily refuted – as was done with your boy, Jerome Corsi’s book on Obama); and how is it possible that the main stream media doesn’t follow through on your allegations that Obama associates with terrorists, and underworld figures who helped to destroy our economy? You know full well if there was anything, anything at all, that the Main Stream Media could expose Obama for, they would go for it. Getting to the truth is what they are all about. Then again, not so Drudge, Fox, Rush – they only want slander, innuendo, scurrilous suggestions – cause the truth doesn’t matter to them and their listeners. So don’t pick on Main Stream Media, they are not responsible for Obama’s success thus far, he and his campaign are, and the people who believe in him, believe that he will do a better job, believe he chose a better V.P. candidate than McCain did, and believe he will be intelligent and listen to all his advisers before he acts like a dictator and destroys this country like Bush did. Oh, and he won’t be impeached by Congress. Left’s face it – If Nancy Pelosi said “impeachment is off the table” for Bush, and we all know if anyone should have been impeached, it was Bush, then I doubt Obama could do anything worse than Bush did and get impeached for it, he’s just not that stupid, especially since the next Congress is going to have so many more Democrats in it anyway!!!

Ann: Obama doesn’t care about the crisis because he doesn’t know what to say at the table. In his campaigns he tells a lot stories that don’t exist and is found out later. Obama is only interested in his own self and not the people of this country. And the majority of the people are so fooled by his copied speeches they don’t know what time of day it is. But they will wake up if he is elected. He will raise taxes beyond what they are now. And social security will suffer. Besides that, he wants to talk to the enemy without preconditions and that’s all we need. The enemy will think we are a bunch of fools.

dl: You are forgetting that Obama himself was involved with Fammie Mae and Freddie Mac. Where have you been. Obama has been involved with all the crooked firms. I know your aware of his background of crooked associates. Get a grip.

Nik: Yes, but Obama will deny he said it. Because he already made comments about McCain saying it. He also copied the words of McCain in the debate when he said he gave warning two years ago that this would happen. No so. McCain gave the warning two years ago and McCain should have countered him on that. Besides that, Obama told McCain about 5 or 6 times he was right so how could Obama win the debate? Easy, CNN knew he lost it but they had to make it look good for Obama because Obama has lost every debate he was in plus the interview with the forum. And I hear that the teamsters union controlled by Hoffa has endorsed Obama. The only crooks that he is involved with now are in this campaign.

dl: Didn’t you ever hear of people that collect cars? Jay Leno’s does it himself. And if the own 12 houses so be it. Cindy inherited millions from her father after he died. That happens in a lot of families. Good for them. John McCain earned his money because he accomplished his goals. And don’t blame McCain for Wall Street or Lehman Brothers. Bank of America just bought out LaSalle Bank. Washington Mustual is being taken over. The banks are doing that to themself not the democrats or the republicans. No one knows when they recommend someone what is going to happen later. You know that as well as I do. And what have you accomplished? McCain served his country along with thousands of men. Obama could have joined the Nationa Guard but of course he was too busy because he stated it himself he was heavy on drugs and booze. Nice life.

John McCain, like everyone else, will die someday.
Unlike the rest of us, however, he could die in the White House, where he would be 80 at the end of two terms. So it’s rather surprising that as the general election hits the homestretch, the McCain campaign has effectively squashed efforts by journalists, medical experts and the political class to fully examine his medical records.

The Center for Responsive Politics questions Obama’s donations! Obama has raised 222.7 million dollars that Obama people say are from donors who are donating $200 or less! Out of the 222.7 Million dollars only 39.6 million of this money is from those donating $200 or less! Who is donating the rest of that money? McCain’s donor list is online and very evident for everyone to see…the CRP indicates that a lot of the money that is in Obama’s coffers are from internations donations….that should send a shudder thru the country..

You people are so naiive. You’d pick someone like obama who interferes with Iraqi troop withdrawals – against our laws- plans to send 85 billion ANNUALLY to the UN for other countries in his global Poverty Act and who has the most vile accomplices we have ever seen !! You deserve what you get when this Muslim educated empty suit destroys America from within- yeah i know – you sitll think he is not Muslim – yeah right ..wake up you idiots !! He has more skeletons in his closet than Halloween horror Nights at Universal !!!

Way to go Roger, I cannot imagine who would vote for a man who thinks we were great in the 60′s.

In June 2008 the FEC asked the Obama campaign to verify a series os $25. donations from a contributor identified only as Mr. Will Good from Austin, Tx. Mr Good listed his employer as “Loving” and his professions as “You”! Mr Will Good donated a whopping $17,375.00 to Obama campaign…now I ask you…do you smell a rat……?????????? Never, has there been so much devious doings and Obama attached garbage in any election I have ever seen…

If there is nothing to hide there is no need to cover up. In McCains campaign about everything important is covered up. They even try to bully the media in their corner. The latest now is they ban journalists and avoid certain networks. What if Obama would not go to FOX news? That would be good fodder to complain about, no? But there are of course other laws for the Republicans. So why should there be honesty about a stupid medical record or about an unimportant person like a VP, who would be a 72years old heartbeat away from the presidency? Just keep quiet and do not disturb the gamblers game. We have to play the way he wants, because his father was a higher being.
Start to Think for Yourself!
McFailin‘: Dishonest, Unstable, Unable.

Roger…this dem is crossing the line to McCain also….this Obama, with his assination of this country in every speech he makes, makes me sick to my stomach…and the Congress….that is when I want to vomit!!

Its funny, Conservative voters claim that Obama cannot fix this country. But these are the same people who call for small government. They resort to personal attacks towards Obama. But they ignore the fact that McCain is a divorced wealthy elderly previous ciggarette smoker who finished next to last in his graduating naval class and he was born in central America. Funny how perceptions are sold by Fox News.

Lets be real- if we take race out of the election-obama/Biden are the better candidates- McCain is too old and out of touch, Palin, well, what can we say? Totally unqualified and out of her league. Pregnant 17 year old daughter, hockey mom??? If you pass over the college graduate lawyer for a has been military man who basically was promoted via nepatism, you deserve what you get.

Osama bin Laden is laughing hysterically in his little bunker undeer a mountain, waiting for Barrack Obama to win. Then he knows, he has finally won.

Harry:
Osama bin Laden did what he did while Bush President early in his first term…..Bush said that he was gonna hunt them down; and capture them dead or alive…..
So, why do you think McCain would be any better? How you know he wanna still be flying fighter planes around, bud?
Obama 2008!!!!

shalom,
I didn’t say McCain would be better, but he won’t be any worse.
I would rather have the same, than something worse.

I would rather watch Obama screw up this country far more than Osama bin Laden ever could.

Why? Obama wants to sit and talk with everyone. Then Osama can come out of his cave, walk into the white house and take it over.

talib, I concur.

I am voting for a change and anytime a person can bring ALL AMERICANS TOGETHER will always have my vote…..Go Obama Go…..With the mess this country is in it’s going to take 10 -20 years to put us Americans back on the right track. Senator Obama is going to have a hell of a time getting America back on the right track if he is elect President but aleast he will be trying…

Mcsame/Pay or lend,same old Game;The Ultimate Bridge To Nowhere!

I would rather have a bridge to nowhere than a bridge to hell anyday.

YOU GUYS MAYBE BE IN FOR A BIG SUSPRISE. AOL IS IN MY OPINION THE MOST ACCURTAE POLL OF ALL. THEY GOT RIGTH DURING THE PRIMARIES. HILLARY WON SEVERAL STATES WHERE THE “PHONE POLLS THAT WE NEVER MET ANYONE ANSWERING IT”MSHOWED OBAMA AHEAD AND HE ENDED UP LOSING. AOL IS JUST A SIMPLE POLL WITH NORMAL AOL FOLKS ANSWERING. THE DID A POLL THIS MORNING, SEPT 30,08, AFTER THE BAILOUT FAILED AND 53% SAID THEY STILL YHINK REPUBLICANS CAN HANDLE THE ECONOMY BETTER THNA DEMORATS. AND WHEN ASKED WHICH PARTY SHOULD BE BLAMED FOR THIS MESS? 38% SAID BOTH AND 36% SAID DEMORATS. SO WATCH UP PEOPLE A BIG SURPRISE MAY BE COMING IN NOVEMBER. THEN LET’S THE RIOTS BEGIN………

PRESIDENT LESS:
you’re one mindless person for stating that you’re not voting this year. wake up and smell the roses.
OBAMA/BIDEN

I’m wishing we could get Mitt Romney back in the race. Neither McCain or Obama really thrill me.
But in the end I’ll vote for McCain because Obama and his ultra-liberal tendencies scare the dickens out of me. The last thing we need now is more of the Democrat mantra of “If there’s a problem just throw money and social programs at it”.
We need someone to get in there, clean out the back rooms, reducing government’s footprint, and let the states take care of much of what people have stacked on the government to deal with. And above all, they need more transparency in government.

I am sure there will be a lot of transparency in a McCain administration. There are no lies and there is no attempt to block the media and it is not like one message contradicts the next…. but please, feel free not to think for yourself, just go with your prejustices and with lies that sound good. Don’t double check if word and deed correspond with each other.

Hold on America!
Why blame McCain? if in the first place the Republican delegates had voted for another presidential candidate, you would be so much ahead and would probably have a real contender to Obama, so assume your greed, for the next 4 years it will be a Democrat as president in Washington!
unbiased view from a Canadian in Montreal, Canada.

hooray, we have two pathetic presidential candidates, our economy is in the tank because of greed on wall street and stupidity on main street, and the leadership of our major political parties are more concerned with fighting then working – America: What a Great Country

There was an alternative proposal to this bailout that really has merit. It was proposed by a senator and was getting alot of support until an executive from Morgan Stanley came in and said it wouldn’t work (self-interests at stake). The plan was this: Impose a 1 and 1/2% tax on stock tranactions, which would result in raising $181 billion per year for the government. This tax would stabilize the market (reducing short trading), not put the burden on main street, etc. We could do alot with 181 million per year in this country-fund the health care program, rebuild infrastructure, improve schools, etc. AND IT IS NOT A INCOME TAX ON THE MIDDLE CLASS!

I don’t know. Based on the polls, I fully expected John Kerry to beat George W. Bush in 2004. I was surprised when I woke up the day after election day.

So how is it McCain’s fault that 220+ people in Congress voted down the bailout? I don’t see the logic. I think you just want to demonize him because he’s the Republican candidate.
And why doesn’t anyone want to take to task ALLLL those Democrats in Congress who enacted a lot of the legislation under Clinton that allowed this disaster to happen?
The President can’t set the course of the country unilaterally. Congress is the largest blame-holder. That includes Obama and McCain. So I guess neither should be president?
Chris said it well, incompetence, greed, and the apathy of those who’d rather watch “Lost” or “Desperate Housewives” than actually learn something about what’s going and take part in democracy.
I know McCain isn’t the best candidate. But he’s the lesser of two evils in my mind. I’m more interested in getting rid of people like Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, and all the other cancerous partisan politicians who could care less about honest government.
But I guess all of you who are rabidly attacking McCain or Obama NOW would rather go back to watching “Deal Or No Deal” than vote out the crooks in Congress when THOSE elections roll around.

I am very much in favor of Senator Obama but I also remember the New Hampshire primary. Don’t count your chickens…

McCain next trick will involve Rev. Wright… another distraction… to scare people… and continue to show his desparation…

Especially with the crises here at home and abroad- we need an experienced hand at the wheel- like John McCain- and not a naive talker like Barack Obama.
I am a lifelong Dem and will be voting McCain in the fall- my 1st vote for a Republican ever.

You can tell that McCain is in deep s**t for two reasons:
1)The media is finally acknoledging that he doesn’t have snowball’s chance of winning this anti-Republican election
and
2)The Repub trolls are out in force on the message boards today.

Don’t know if all the “prayers” in this world will help this nation from this oncoming Dictatorship.
This is what I have said from day one with this guy: in two years we will be in a fascist state. The parallels between Germany and the US today are very stunning…it was the Elite and the youth who supported Hitler. And Obama is psychologically unstable…split personality…very creepy.
………
This was coming. As far back as 1992, Obama, under Bill Ayers (American Terrorist) given a grant of over 100 million to work with youth, in order to change government. These young people were indoctrinated with anti-American and racial propaganda.Obama was put in charge of this program for a couple of year and then Michele Obama took his place as Obama served in the Illinois legislature. Be very afraid, this scheme did not pop up all of a sudden. This scheme was all in the making for many years.
Obama’s logo uses a the sun, similar to the Nazi’s when they were gaining power and similar to the Emperor of Japan, who was thought to be a god. The paralells between Obama and Hitler and Mao cannot be ignored

Ann, about the bailout, you don’t have all the facts. The Dems and Repubs struck a bargain and agreed on how many votes each party needs to come up with to get the bill passed. The Dems fulfilled their end of the bargain and actually delivered MORE votes than they had committed to. The Repubs were the ones who couldn’t deliver their required number of votes. Where was McCain? He took credit publicly for engineering a successful bailout BEFORE the votes were counted … ooops. In truth, neither McCain nor Obama needed to interfere with the delicate negotiations, and Obama stayed out of the way as much as he could, as he should. McCain’s bold show of riding into Washington on his white horse to save America is just a political show, especially since he hadn’t been seen voting for over a year and when he eventually got there, he spent most of his time holed up, “phoning it in”.

Lisa, you’re the one who’s creeping me out with your wacko off-the-wall comments. You know, the crazies usually don’t know they are crazy and accuse others of being unstable. Did you just sneak out of the asylum? Why are there still people who accuse Obama of being elitist … and in the same breath, speak of his being a Community Organizer with disdain … like that’s too lowly a job for a Presidential candidate’s resume!! I hate election years … they bring all the nutcases out of the woodwork.

It for sure is Obama’s to lose. The fact is he is not the best candidate. The Democrates could put a monkey out there, they pretty much did and he would win. The Republicans have dug such a hole for Mccain because of the Bush years he will never get out. Just the facts, Mccain is fighting up hill.

Sen. Barack HUSSEIN Obama, Where is ALL the “Funny Money” in your from ? More than half of the whopping $426.9 million Barack Obama has raised has come from small donors whose names the Obama campaign won’t disclose.
And questions have arisen about millions more in foreign donations the Obama campaign has received that apparently have not been vetted as legitimate.
Obama has raised nearly twice that of John McCain’s campaign, according to new campaign finance report.
But because of Obama’s high expenses during the hotly contested Democratic primary season and an early decision to forgo public campaign money and the spending limits it imposes, all that cash has not translated into a financial advantage — at least, not yet.
The Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee began September with $95 million in cash, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
The McCain camp and the Republican National Committee had $94 million, because of an influx of $84 million in public money.
But Obama easily could outpace McCain by $50 million to $100 million or more in new donations before Election Day, thanks to a legion of small contributors whose names and addresses have been kept secret.
Unlike the McCain campaign, which has made its complete donor database available online, the Obama campaign has not identified donors for nearly half the amount he has raised, according to the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP).
Federal law does not require the campaigns to identify donors who give less than $200 during the election cycle. However, it does require that campaigns calculate running totals for each donor and report them once they go beyond the $200 mark.
Surprisingly, the great majority of Obama donors never break the $200 threshold.
“Contributions that come under $200 aggregated per person are not listed,” said Bob Biersack, a spokesman for the FEC. “They don’t appear anywhere, so there’s no way of knowing who they are.”
The FEC breakdown of the Obama campaign has identified a staggering $222.7 million as coming from contributions of $200 or less. Only $39.6 million of that amount comes from donors the Obama campaign has identified.
It is the largest pool of unidentified money that has ever flooded into the U.S. election system, before or after the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reforms of 2002.
Biersack would not comment on whether the FEC was investigating the huge amount of cash that has come into Obama’s coffers with no public reporting.
But Massie Ritsch, a spokesman for CRP, a campaign-finance watchdog group, dismissed the scale of the unreported money.
“We feel comfortable that it isn’t the $20 donations that are corrupting a campaign,” he told us.
But those small donations have added up to more than $200 million, all of it from unknown and unreported donors.
Ritsch acknowledges that there is skepticism about all the unreported money, especially in the Obama campaign coffers.
“We and seven other watchdog groups asked both campaigns for more information on small donors,” he said. “The Obama campaign never responded,” whereas the McCain campaign “makes all its donor information, including the small donors, available online.”
The rise of the Internet as a campaign funding tool raises new questions about the adequacy of FEC requirements on disclosure. In pre-Internet fundraising, almost all political donations, even small ones, were made by bank check, leaving a paper trail and limiting the amount of fraud.
But credit cards used to make donations on the Internet have allowed for far more abuse.
“While FEC practice is to do a post-election review of all presidential campaigns, given their sluggish metabolism, results can take three or four years,” said said one legal Source.
Already, the FEC has noted unusual patterns in Obama campaign donations among donors who have been disclosed because they have gone beyond the $200 minimum.
FEC and Mr. Doodad Pro
When FEC auditors have questions about contributions, they send letters to the campaign’s finance committee requesting additional information, such as the complete address or employment status of the donor.
Many of the FEC letters that we reviewed instructed the Obama campaign to “redesignate” contributions in excess of the finance limits.
Under campaign finance laws, an individual can donate $2,300 to a candidate for federal office in both the primary and general election, for a total of $4,600. If a donor has topped the limit in the primary, the campaign can “redesignate” the contribution to the general election on its books.
In a letter dated June 25, 2008, the FEC asked the Obama campaign to verify a series of $25 donations from a contributor identified as “Will, Good” from Austin, Texas.
Mr. Good Will listed his employer as “Loving” and his profession as “You.”
Upon objective analysis of the 1.4 million individual contributions in the latest master file for the Obama campaign discovered 1,000 separate entries for Mr. Good Will, most of them for $25.
In total, Mr. Good Will gave $17,375.
Following this and subsequent FEC requests, campaign records show that 330 contributions from Mr. Good Will were credited back to a credit card. But the most recent report, filed on Sept. 20, showed a net cumulative balance of $8,950 — still well over the $4,600 limit.
There can be no doubt that the Obama campaign noticed these contributions, since Obama’s Sept. 20 report specified that Good Will’s cumulative contributions since the beginning of the campaign were $9,375.
In an e-mailed response to a query ,The Sen. Barack HUSSEIN Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt pledged that the campaign would return the donations. But given the slowness with which the campaign has responded to earlier FEC queries, there’s no guarantee that the money will be returned before the Nov. 4 election.
Similarly, a donor identified as “Pro, Doodad,” from “Nando, NY,” gave $19,500 in 786 separate donations, most of them for $25. For most of these donations, Mr. Doodad Pro listed his employer as “Loving” and his profession as “You,” just as Good Will had done.
But in some of them, he didn’t even go this far, apparently picking letters at random to fill in the blanks on the credit card donation form. In these cases, he said he was employed by “VCX” and that his profession was “VCVC.”
Following FEC requests, the Sen Barack HUSSEIN Obama campaign began refunding money to Doodad Pro in February 2008. In all, about $8,425 was charged back to a credit card. But that still left a net total of $11,165 as of Sept. 20, way over the individual limit of $4,600.
Here again, LaBolt pledged that the contributions would be returned but gave no date.
In February, after just 93 donations, Doodad Pro had already gone over the $2,300 limit for the primary. He was over the $4,600 limit for the general election one month later.
In response to FEC complaints, the Obama campaign began refunding money to Doodad Pro even before he reached these limits. But his credit card was the gift that kept on giving. His most recent un-refunded contributions were on July 7, when he made 14 separate donations, apparently by credit card, of $25 each.
Just as with Mr. Good Will, there can be no doubt that the Obama campaign noticed the contributions, since its Sept. 20 report specified that Doodad’s cumulative contributions since the beginning of the campaign were $10,965.
Foreign Donations
And then there are the overseas donations — at least, the ones that we know about.
The FEC has compiled a separate database of potentially questionable overseas donations that contains more than 11,500 contributions totaling $33.8 million. More than 520 listed their “state” as “IR,” often an abbreviation for Iran. Another 63 listed it as “UK,” the United Kingdom.
More than 1,400 of the overseas entries clearly were U.S. diplomats or military personnel, who gave an APO address overseas. Their total contributions came to just $201,680.
But others came from places as far afield as Abu Dhabi, Addis Ababa, Beijing, Fallujah, Florence, Italy, and a wide selection of towns and cities in France.
Until recently, the Sen Barack HUSSEIN Obama Web site allowed a contributor to select the country where he resided from the entire membership of the United Nations, including such friendly places as North Korea and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Unlike McCain’s or Sen. Hillary Clinton’s online donation pages, the Sen. Barack HUSSEIN Obama site did not ask for proof of citizenship until just recently. Clinton’s presidential campaign required U.S. citizens living abroad to actually fax a copy of their passport before a donation would be accepted.
With such lax vetting of foreign contributions, the Obama campaign may have indirectly contributed to questionable fundraising by foreigners.
In July and August, the head of the Nigeria’s stock market held a series of pro- Sen. Barack HUSSEIN Obama fundraisers in Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city. The events attracted local Nigerian business owners.
At one event, a table for eight at one fundraising dinner went for $16,800. Nigerian press reports claimed sponsors raked in an estimated $900,000.
The sponsors said the fundraisers were held to help Nigerians attend the Democratic convention in Denver. But the Nigerian press expressed skepticism of that claim, and the Nigerian public anti-fraud commission is now investigating the matter.
Concerns about foreign fundraising have been raised by other anecdotal accounts of illegal activities.
In June, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi gave a public speech praising Sen. Barack HUSSEIN Obama, claiming foreign nationals were donating to his campaign.
“All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man,” the Libyan leader said. “They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency…”
Though Gadhafi asserted that fundraising from Arab and African nations were “legitimate,” the fact is that U.S. federal law bans any foreigner from donating to a U.S. election campaign.
The rise of the Internet and use of credit cards have made it easier for foreign nationals to donate to American campaigns, especially if they claim their donation is less than $200.
Campaign spokesman LaBolt cited several measures that the campaign has adopted to “root out fraud,” including a requirement that anyone attending an Obama fundraising event overseas present a valid U.S. passport, and a new requirement that overseas contributors must provide a passport number when donating online.
One new measure that might not appear obvious at first could be frustrating to foreigners wanting to buy campaign paraphernalia such as T-shirts or bumper stickers through the online store.
In response to an investigation conducted by blogger Pamela Geller, who runs the blog Atlas Shrugs, the Obama campaign has locked down the store.
Geller first revealed on July 31 that donors from the Gaza strip had contributed $33,000 to the Obama campaign through bulk purchases of T-shirts they had shipped to Gaza.
The online campaign store allows buyers to complete their purchases by making an additional donation to the Sen. Barack HUSSEIN Obama campaign.
A pair of Palestinian brothers named Hosam and Monir Edwan contributed more than $31,300 to the Obama campaign in October and November 2007, FEC records show.
Their largesse attracted the attention of the FEC almost immediately. In an April 15, 2008, report that examined the Obama campaign’s year-end figures for 2007, the FEC asked that some of these contributions be reassigned.
The Obama camp complied sluggishly, prompting a more detailed admonishment form the FEC on July 30.
The Edwan brothers listed their address as “GA,” as in Georgia, although they entered “Gaza” or “Rafah Refugee camp” as their city of residence on most of the online contribution forms.
According to the Sen. Barack HUSSEIN Obama campaign, they wrongly identified themselves as U.S. citizens, via a voluntary check-off box at the time the donations were made.
Many of the Edwan brothers’ contributions have been purged from the FEC database, but they still can be found in archived versions available for CRP and other watchdog groups.
The latest Obama campaign filing shows that $891.11 still has not been refunded to the Edwan brothers, despite repeated FEC warnings and campaign claims that all the money was refunded in December.
A review of the Sen. Barack HUSSEIN Obama campaign finance filings found that the FEC had asked for the redesignation or refund of 53,828 donations, totaling just under $30 million.
But none involves the donors who never appear in the Obama campaign reports, which the CRP estimates at nearly half the $426.8 million the Obama campaign has raised to date.
Many of the small donors participated in online “matching” programs, which allows them to hook up with other Obama supporters and eventually share e-mail addresses and blogs.
The Sen. Barack HUSSEIN Obama Web site described the matching contribution program as similar to a public radio fundraising drive.
“Our goal is to bring 50,000 new donors into our movement by Friday at midnight,” campaign manager David Plouffe e-mailed supporters on Sept. 15. “And if you make your first online donation today, your gift will go twice as far. A previous donor has promised to match every dollar you donate.”
FEC spokesman Biersack said he was unfamiliar with the matching donation drive. But he said that if donations from another donor were going to be reassigned to a new donor, as the campaign suggested, “the two people must agree” to do so.
This type of matching drive probably would be legal as long as the matching donor had not exceeded the $2,300 per-election limit, he said.
Obama campaign spokesman LaBolt said, “We have more than 2.5 million donors overall, hundreds of thousands of which have participated in this program.”
Until now, the names of those donors and where they live have remained anonymous — and the federal watchdog agency in charge of ensuring that the presidential campaigns play by the same rules has no tools to find out.

HP,
you give comments the same way as Palin answer questions. nonesense.

Let’s do these common sense here
Will you buy the same barnd of car as the one you have which had cost you fortune to go back and out of garage?…my answer – NO(I’ll buy another brand)
Will you go back to you ex Girlfriend or boyfriend who dishonest with you several time?…my answer – NO(I’ll move on)
Will you stay at your work which gives you no balance of Life and less disposable income while there are many opportunities out there?…my answer – No(I apply for another Job that give me more freedom to be with my family and more money to spend on them)
Simple hah……
These 3 examples are pictured of imcompetent, dishonesty and mismanagement of Republicant goverment over the last 8 years…..if you as a normal people will do exactly like I do – say no to all of these.
Disagree?
I think you have been brainwashed by Republicant.
I am not from your great country but let me tell you this….My life is affected by what happen in your back yard….and I believe I am speaking on behalf of people all around the world.
I will say the same thing to the Democrat, if they has been in the power for the last 8 years and their policies that caused all these chaos.
So get you act together…
Get rid of McCain/Palin and Choose Obama/Biden

Seriously BOB, I am from this country and find it none of your business for you or your b.s regarding speaking on behalf of the people around the world worth a pile of blank. The people as you call them hate our country not for what we are but for our freedoms and opportunity. Bottom line they are jealous and dont like the fact we are better country then where they live. That is why they are trying to get into this country. As for Americans that really think they have it tough, try living elsewhere in the world, lets say China, Korea, Russia, AFRICA. See how much you like it there.

What on earth are the “Hillary forever” crowd drinking? Do they not get it? If Obama loses, Hillary is done, toast, gone for all time because no 18+ million Obama supporters will remember and “vote for the other guy”.

I think all women should be offended by the idea that John McCain apparently thinks, because Hillary lost, any woman is sufficient to replace her. Hillary is an outstanding and experienced leader and politician; Sarah Palin is a novice who is against everything that Hillary stands for. As far as I’m concerned, McCain’s mantra of “country first” is nothing more than a ludicrous slogan.

Hi Angelo:
Obviously you are not very well educated in economics. Through the 7 years of Bush tax cuts did not help increase jobs in the USA. Huge Companies is all about profits, if it is cheaper to produce a product somewhere else, they will be heading there anyways with or without the tax cuts…call your bank and you find out someone with a wierd accent talk to you.

I see a trend in these posts. The entire economic crisis happened because low income people got loans to buy a home. Of course most low income people are minorities…..so its all thier fault. By playing the racist card, we have someone with no power to blame. I smell a Rove.

Berg Filed an Answer Sept. 29th, 2008
(Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania – 09/29/08) – Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “qualifications” to serve as President of the United States, announced today that he filed his Opposition and Brief to Obama and Democratic National Committee [DNC] Joint Motion to Dismiss in the case of Berg v. Obama, No. 08-cv-04083.
Berg feels confident that he has “Standing” and the Court will allow the case to go forward. Our response was due in 14 days, but the Court requested our answer by Monday, September 29, 2008 and we complied.
In our response we set forth sufficient reasons that I have “Standing” to bring this lawsuit. Furthermore, I set forth additional reasons that indicate Obama does not meet the qualifications for President of the United States and Obama should be removed from the ballot and held accountable.
Our website obamacrimes.com has received 17.1 + million hits. We are urging all to spread the word of our website – and forward to your local newspapers and radio and TV stations.
Berg again stressed his position regarding the urgency of this case as, “we” the people, are heading to a “Constitutional Crisis” if this case is not resolved forthwith.

You’d better dig into McCains history, maybe you have a look at http://www.thenation.com “McCain and the POW Cover-Up”. Just in case you want to find out about a real, heinous crime of someone who is proudly running for president as a war hero and has not only left behind about 600 of his fellow soldiers but seen to it that laws came about to bury ANY EVIDENCE about them being alive. Though they gave many, many, many signals that they were alive and needed help!
The hits on your website might mostly be from people who check how insane America has become!

sickofrepublicans: and they will help make America the best nation in the world again by
a)Raising the capital gains tax and sending more businesses overseas
b)Taking away the money of people who work hard to make it from the middle class to the upper class and gicing the said money to both people who genuinely need it and people who sit on their lazy bums with signs that say “Money Please” when there is a Wendy’s down the street with a “Help Wanted” sign
c)Giving ground to ists who would just as soon nuke us as talk with us (aka Iran) and who are just stalling for time so that the “real” holocaust can happen.
d) All of the above
If you answered d, THEN YOU ARE CORRECT!
Congratulations, go vote for McCain at tthe ballot box, and change your screen nname. I am tired of Democrat lies, (quick memory jog,”I did not have with that woman”, “The public funding system is a noble system, and I will use it” or something to that effect, and, perhaps most importantly of all “That question is above my pay grade.” There is no better pay grade than leader of the free world, and if you are not up to that par, then let
Joe Biden, or Ralfie Nader, or Barney, the purple one who iss probably the best of the three, run in your stead. I guess that that wasn’t such a quick memory jog, but it made the point.) I am tired of Democrat lies, and you know what? I don’t need to make it a point to everybody with EVERY SINGLE BLOG that I type. And Carl. Apparently YOU do not know a whole lot about economics. After Bush did his tax cuts, economic boom. Since our current Congress, which has actually accomplished making a National Watermelon Month, has showed up, LOOK WHAT HAS HAPPENED. And it all gets blamed on Bush. If you think things are bad now, “you must have been brainwashed by a” Democrat. I live in a very rural community in North Idaho. (Sandpoint, freezing in the winter, despite Global Warming but an awesome place to live in general)
This place is FULL of middle class and lower class people, but most of us have had the common sense to make good economic choices and not buy things that we can’t afford. Save, then buy. It’s a good economic policy, and following it would have kept this whole thing from happening in the first place. That and the government not forcing banks to give stupid loans that no businessman in his right mind would make or to pay extra taxes. In the end, vote for somebody who does not propose spending almost 1,000,000 dollars per day in the senate, and do what is right for the country. Vote McCain.

Patriot -
Yes and who spent 10 billion a month on a war we never should have been in. I hope you have family members serving in Iraq that wind up the way ours did. Vote McCain and you have a old man that lies every other word and a vp that is dumb enough to think she knows foreign policy because she lives next to Russia. If you truly are middle class than you would know all the loop holes the rich have used and what is wrong with sharing with those who are less advantaged than you. Not every one who is struggling is too lazy to work.

I don’t believe people are still hung up on Hillary. Wake up people she is no longer in the Presidential race! If she was, I probably would be voting for her too, but I’m not going to whine about what could have been, and I’m going to support Obama, because out of the 2 that are in the Presidential race, he is the better choice! So Hillary supporters, please stop whining and follow and support her in voting for Obama! No way, No How, No McCain, No Palin!
Enough is enough. Don’t dwell on the past or what could have been, you need to make a wise decision now for the future of this country!

j jackson – I was undecided until I read your manifesto. Obama has my vote now. Thank you, Mr. Nut Job.

j jack – thanks for the manifesto. You helped me to make up my mind, finally. I’m voting for Obama.

McCain can’t keep his message on track because he has no message. Suspend or not suspend? That’s it? Obama’s got too much momentum now. Republicans who see the future with President Obama will start to mend broken fences in the waning days of the campaign, leaving McCain and his sleazy campaign in the ditch, alone, with his lobbyists and slimy campaign advisors.

Correction for above posters. Two thirds of democrats voted for the bail out plan. Two thirds of republicans voted against the bail out plan. And then the market took it’s biggest point crash ever. The republicans are going to have to help. They’re hoping to stand back and let the dems take the heat for this unpopular bill that has to pass. Not gonna happen. It will have to be bi-partisan. The rest of the world’s markets tanked too. Greedy Wall St. and deregulating republicans have trashed the economy of the entire world. Thank goodness that when they had the White House, the Senate and the House for six years that they didn’t decide that we should get rid of all highway laws and fire all the policemen. If they had done the same thing with driving laws that they did with our economy, a lot of us would be dead. It’s crazy to think that everyone is going to responsibly self regulate.

Vote No for the $700 billion bailout! Only people the bail out is going to help is the Rich and the Republicans

I think John Stewart said it best.
In response to Mike Huckabee -”So…what you’re saying is, if I understand correctly….Your party is the only party that can fix the mess your party created?”
Republicans claiming that their party is going to heal all of these problems, after forgetting that they had a GOP’er pres. for 8 years and a republican house majority for six years, is almost laugh-out-loud hilarious.
Let the laughs continue!
Obama ’08

WOW!!! ya think so Dodd???? LMFAO

YEAH RIGHT, help more to the black worthless community. WHATEVER!!! Are you people in slavery now. HELL NO. It was us that brought your stupid asses here. We should of just left you over there. We dont owe you a dime extra. Thats not our problem that your women know nothing more but to lay on there backs for every man that walks by then 9 months later pop out there kid. Thats why welfare is the way it is now. Thats the only thing that blacks are good for making more babies and using and working the system. Nothing more and nothing less.
Stop spreading your legs and stop spreading your semen and USA will be a lot better. Or just plainly and simply just abort the idiots

McCain’s mistake was selling out to the far right. He should have been a Maverick and rejected Bush in every way.

During the period that the Antichrist begins to flex his power, the current pope will be assassinated when he goes on a trip away from the Vatican. The two cardinals nearest to the pope will realize the danger to their church after the death, and they will close themselves up in the Vatican to try to protect themselves.
The current Pope is desirous of world peace and is working against some established power parties within the Roman church. A point will come when the special interests inside the church who want to hold onto their power and wealth will misadvise the Pope in such a way as to place him in a dangerous situation which he is unaware of. The assassination will lead to social unrest and rioting in Rome. The next pope will not last long. There will be only two other popes after the present one.
(Century II, Quatrain 97)
The pope and several of his entourage will be assassinated in late spring when the roses bloom, at a European city that is at the junction of two major rivers.
(Century II, Quatrain 15)
The present pope will be assassinated shortly prior to the appearance of a comet that will be clearly visible from the sky of the Northern Hemisphere. His concern for the human condition, leading him to treacherous travel arrangements, wil be his downfall. The next pope will be assassinated by the Antichrist because he won’t submit to his demands. The assassination allows the Antichrist to install his “tool” into the office
Crazed leader launches nuclear bombs on Mediterranean and Europe
(Century II, Quatrains 3 and 4)
During a period of continuing unrest, the leader of a Middle Eastern country will be able to obtain a nuclear weapon. He will go to the greatest lengths over the smallest things and will not hesitate to use the weapon because of his obsessions with deadly warfare. The people he is warring against retaliate with a nuclear weapon. The country has a coast on the Mediterranean.
One of the bombs will land in the Mediterranean instead of the land, poisoning all the fish. The passages of trade in the region will be disrupted so that the people on the other coast will be desperate for food and will eat the fish anyway. It will happen near the east coast of the Mediterranean in a region of dark-colored cliffs.
(Century III, Quatrain 83)
The nuclear weapon being dropped by one of the Middle Eastern countries will spark off yet another war on top of that war. European nations will try to interfere to diminish the threat to oil supplies. When the European countries try to interfere, the crazed leader will use the rest of his arsenal on Europe, most striking the Italian Peninsula.
The European Mediterranean coast, particularly that of Italy and France, will be almost uninhabitable, and Italy will get the brunt. This leader is not the Antichrist but helps to set the stage for the Antichrist to rise to power with little or no opposition.
Volcanoes, earthquakes, floods, droughts
(Century IV, Quatrain 67)
A very bright, previously unknown comet will appear and coincide with the time of great geological troubles, with earthquakes and volcanoes erupting and disrupting weather systems. This will cause widespread famines, droughts, and social upheavals in unexpected places. Nations that are considered prosperous and powerful, particularly western nations, will be weakened. They will be torn with civil strife and rioting as people migrate to areas that have water and can support crop-growing. The social upheaval and weakening of political structures will help the Antichrist come to power.
The United States in particular will be subject to serious natural disasters, particularly earthquakes and flooding, and flatten the nation from end to end, causing enormous conflict, despair, and misery. The US will be bankrupted attempting to deal with its disasters. Three other great nations will send aid to help the citizens survive.
(Century VIII, Quatrain 29)
Earth changes will take place that will help the Antichrist’s drive for world conquest. In central Europe, southern Europe, and in the Middle East, around the eastern end of the Mediterranean, there will be severe floods. As a result of the disruption to local governments by the natural disasters, the Antichrist will move his troops in under the guise of helping the people restore civil order, but really use this as a device to take over countries, and to use the populations like slaves.
Serious economic problems will persist along with great social unrest, contributing to the ease with which the Antichrist can seize power. The frightened and hopeful populace will be vulnerable to his rhetoric. The Antichrist will use the disasters as opportunities to overthrow governments and sneak spies into a country. Martial law will be declared in many areas to stop rioting and looting. The Middle East, the source of his power, will not be as devastated as the rest of the world. He offers assistance to other countries trying to recover but he will eventually stab them in the back.
New World Order’s international power flow
(Century II, Quatrain 58)
During the time of the Antichrist a secretive, conspiratorial cabal are “pulling the strings” behind the scenes to manipulate world politics and economies for personal gain. These master puppeteers operate figureheads in many countries, governments, and the major world capitals. They are united but are very clever in disguising their influence. They hold positions that appear to be relatively minor, like advisors and under-secretaries and such, but are key positions of their power.
In the daytime they appear to be good, loyal, model citizens working for the same goals their governments are supposedly working for, but behind the scenes they band together and pool their information and contacts to work for their own ends. They do not appear to have any political power but they really have a firm grip on world affairs.
This secret organization has been in existence for several generations. Their existence is hinted in the family histories of the banking powers and money centers of the world. Only the families involved are aware. The cabal of leaders has been very slowly but surely building up a worldwide network of power, because they want to take over but stay behind the scenes. At first when the Antichrist comes along the leaders of the Cabal regard him as a new, dynamic, youthful leader from the Middle East they can use to unite the area and reign it into their realm of control. But the Antichrist ends up turning the tables on them.
Fiasco from communication breakdown between two superpowers
(Century II, Quatrains 35 and 48)
Through a mistake, a breakdown in communications between two powerful countries will occur. The situation is a lot more complex than will appear on the surface. The leader involved will feel great regret about what happened and will want to continue his career and help correct the situation, to help make up for the adverse affects. The entire event will be viewed as a fiasco from both sides. It will have very harmful and even cataclysmic consequences.

In 16th Century France, there lived a man who is reported to have been able to see the future through astrology and divination. This man is said to have predicted the coming of Napoleon, Hitler and even the attacks on the World Trade Center, but there are many skeptics of this man’s work. His name was Michel de Nostradamus, and a book has been discovered at the National Library in Rome that could contain his biggest prediction of all, the end of the world.
In The History Channel’s Lost Book of Nostradamus, the secrets of this unsettling new discovery are revealed. There are many who believe this book to be Nostradamus’ final warning of this era’s pending doom. Others, however, are skeptical of the book’s authenticity, not to mention skeptical of Nostradamus’ claims that he could foresee the future in the first place.
There is no denying, however, his eerily accurate predictions connected with Hitler and the twin towers. In a series of passages, Nostradamus referred to a large, bloody war that would be caused by an Austrian taking political power in Germany. Four hundred years before World War II, Nostradamus tried to warn us in advance by giving us the man’s name: “Hister.” He was only one letter off.
There were also these passages that have been linked to the attack on the World Trade Center:
“Under the false guise of faith many saboteurs will be sown…”
This, of course, would be referring to the hijackers. Note these saboteurs are acting under “the false guise of faith.” “New City,” which is mentioned in this next passage linked to the World Trade Center, Nostradamus believed to be the city of the future.
“Earth shaking fires from the World’s Center roar around ‘New City’ is the earth a quiver. Two nobles long shall wage a fruitless war…”
The last part would obviously refer to Iraq or the War on Terrorism.
So here’s the problem. This new discovery coincides with Nostradamus’ statement that his cryptic predictions would make sense in 500 years. This book has remained mysteriously unnoticed until now (500 years later), though it was clearly marked as being by Nostradamus in a logbook of the National Library.
So why now? Was it destined that it only be discovered scant years before the approaching Armageddon, that it could be deciphered before it’s too late? Nostradamus would have conceivably been able to foresee the discovery of the book, and after all, his predictions are meant as warnings. If man had listened to him before, we may not have had a Hitler or the Iraq War.
Now, I’m not going to lay out all the information presented in this documentary, as that would make watching it superfluous. Not to mention, the facts are more convincing coming from scholars and the program does a great job of building the information in a coherent, step-by-step manner. It is, like most History Channel programming, fascinating, so if you’re like me, you won’t be able to change the channel.
Here’s a sneak peak into the lost book:
The new book lays out the final days of this era with haunting pictures of things already come to pass, including the French Revolution, the beheading of Louis XVI, and the numerous attempts on the Popes’ lives, as well the events of the turbulent future. The Vatican had possession of the book years and kept it hidden, as it details the numerous Papal assassination attempts, the events leading to the end of the Catholic Church and ultimately the coming of what would be Nostradamus’ third Anti-Christ (after Napoleon and Hitler).
The story of the end of the world is told in a series of seven images, describing how and when the Armageddon will take place; and it is not far off. But this is not necessarily a bad thing. According to the book, these are events that can be avoided, leading us safely into the next era of mankind.
From here, we need to analyze all political decisions we make as a people, especially with the upcoming presidential election. And not just because some book says so, but because we’re in a bad spot, and the majority of the politicians vying for the presidency openly support yet another war with Iran. Whether Nostradamus saw any of this coming or not, we’ll never know for sure. Perhaps he was just a lucky guesser, but when it comes to the current world strife, there is no denying the need for sudden and drastic change. You don’t need a book to tell you that.

Right after the RNC, Chuck Todd was saying that the only poll that counts is the one on Nov 4…..i guess because BO was feeling the heat…..i’m not a McCain guy but you cannot deny that the media has been totally in the tank for BO…..and now I’m being told I’m a loser for thinking that…..the emperor has no clothes!

ASIDE TO “RHBATE”….if you check a newspaper that does a decent job of reporting, admittedly hard to find, you would be interested in the artical regarding the regarding both McCain’s and Mr. Teflon’s anticipated lifespans.

“Rule One: When a campaign starts attacking the media, things aren’t going well.”
But what if it is in response to the media attacking the candidate, which it clearly is in this case. Palin has received more scrutiny than Øbama ever has, or ever will, if the liberal media has anything to say about it.
Ayers, Wright, ACORN, Rezko, Chicago political machine. The list is long, yet untouched. How about a little objectivity kids?

I saw the interview, and I was lost instantly, thought I had a stroke or something going on.

Dear Fellow American:
Never before in the history of our nation have we faced such a grave crisis: one of the most radical political figures ever to be nominated by a major party is just minutes away from becoming President of the United States.
That man is Barack Obama.
He promises to change America forever. If elected, he will do just that — but in ways you make not like.
Remember Obama is the most liberal member of the United States Senate.
He received a 100 percent Liberal Rating from the National Journal, making him the most left-wing Senator in Washington — more liberal than even Democratic senators like Ted Kennedy.
If you look at Obama’s record, you will understand just how dangerous this man is.
He even has terrorist friends he won’t denounce. One such man is William Ayers, a leader in the radical terrorist group the Weatherman Underground. The group bombed several government buildings, including the Pentagon, killing civilians and police officers.
In 2001, Ayers said he had no regrets for his actions and wished he could have done more.
The ties between Obama and Ayers are tight. Both served on two non profit boards and they worked closely together. Ayers even hosted a political event at his home for Obama.
Obama has acknowledged he is a friend of Ayers and defends his association by saying he, Obama, was only 8 years old at the time of the Pentagon bombing.
However, Obama has no explanation as to why he is still a friend of Ayers.
Obama has even been endorsed by radicals such as Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan.
No one can deny hearing about Obama’s relationship with the America-hating Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
There should be little doubt that William Ayers and Louis Farrakhan and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright are rooting for Obama — because he is one of them.
In keeping with such friends, Obama has promised to meet with radical leaders like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without “preconditions” even though Ahmadinejad has promised to “wipe Israel off the map” and “destroy” America.
Even radical Hamas terrorists have praised him.
“We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election,” Ahmed Yousef, senior Hamas leader was quoted by ABC radio as saying.

Like many other Independent voters, i’m simply weary of 8 years of failure and I gave both McCain and Obama an honest chance to win my vote.
I report today that Barack Obama is my choice for President.McCain has proven to be erratic, stubborn, temperemental and yes, dishonest.
Moreso, every evening I turn on my TV and hear Sarah Palin say something like;
“Hmm, Lemme See”, when asked by Katie Couric to name another supreme court decision other than Roe v Wade.
I mean COME ON!!!
My fellow Americans, we have to stop settling. Mediocrity isn’t enough. If we can send a man to the moon, we surely can elect a Vice President with a brain.
Just my two cents.

Well, Palin has proved that she has what it takes to be vp, and probably president by the time she would have to do such a thing. Thank goodness–an option over Obama/Biden. With an anagram like I B A Bad Omen, that seems like a bad risk for a presidency.

JKIR, I agree with you totally. Not only is o’bomb’a a bad risk. Oh, why do I spell his name like that? Another blog poster did not like it at all. Let me clarify, barack HUSSEIN obama. Biden has not been emotionally stable from what I can tell. His first national appearance with substance was at the DMC. He broke down. His second appearance with substance was the VP Debate. He broke down again. Palin has proven herself to be strong. She is not breaking down under all these false attacks. She shows she has what it takes to be the VP. Every time the Dems attack, she gets stronger.

The only thing missing from a McCain/Palin rally are people actually wearing their hoods and sheets.

DID YOU HEAR THAT A PERSON WEARING AN OBAMA T-SHIRT GOT SHOT THE OTHER DAY??
GOOD, HOPEFULLY THAT WILL PROVE TO YOU STUPID PEOPLE THAT WE DO NOT WANT A NEGRON IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
I DONT WANT MCCAIN IN THERE BUT I SURELY DONT WANT A NEGRON IN THERE EITHER.
I AM FULLY DEMOCRATIC TOO.
I HATE REPUBLICANS ALL THE WAY.

McCain/Palin: And the only thing missing from Obama is he can’t be all black like he wants to be. The only way blackbarack won the senate seat is through his underhanded close friend Ayers and his lying to the judge about Alice J. Palmer on her signatures. He ruined that woman from politics just like he would ruin this country. He belongs in Kenya with the rest of his tribe.

YES, I’M A BAD AMERICAN
I Am the Liberal-Progressives Worst Nightmare. I am an American.I am a Master Mason and believe in God.I ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles and believe in American products. I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some Liberal governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican!I’m in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!
I think owning a gun doesn’t make you a killer, it makes you a smart American. I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything. Get over it! I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do it in English.
I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.My heroes are John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and Willie G Davidson that makes the Awesome Harley Davidson Motorcycles. I don’t hate the rich. I don’t pity the poor. I know wrestling is fake and I don’t waste my time watching or arguing about it.I’ve never owned a slave, or was a slave, I haven’t burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you! So, shut up already.I believe if you don’t like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country! This is AMERICA ….We like it the way it is! If you were born here and don’t like it you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you.I want to know which church is it exactly where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution. Can I get an AMEN on that one? I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you’re breaking the law, regardless of what color you are.And, no, I don’t mind having my face shown on my drivers license. I think it’s good….. And I’m proud that ‘God’ is written on my money.I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don’t want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.I believe the president of the United States should put his hand over his heart and say the pledge of allegiance and should have no reservations about wearing American flag pins on his lapel. I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making ‘donations’ to their cause. Get a Job and do your part! I believe that it doesn’t take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents.I believe ‘illegal’ is illegal no matter what the lawyers think.I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA !If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I’m a BAD American.
If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know.We want our country back!
We NEED GOD BACK IN OUR COUNTRY!
WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE,
ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE
