As Dow Plummets, McCain Campaign Highlights Palin’s Attacking Obama on Ayers

Vote McCain/Palin
COUNTRY LAST

Talk about your priorities. But this is exactly what McCain needs to do. He must gamble on character attacks despite the bad economy, and hope that voters get distracted.

The McCain campaign wisely chose Palin as the person to bring up these connections since we know from the videotapes she is 100% free of witchcraft.

The McCain campaign wanted to talk about the economy, but they cannot locate Phil Gramm. He was last seen beating up whiners at Enron Field in Houston.

I know Sarah Palin once wrote a letter of recommendation for a guy who was later found to have used a Taser on a ten year old. But that was before she was made witchcraft free by her minister.

McMoron and the Pig in Lipstick have lost it. As I type this the Dow is down 553 points and Palin is talking about Rev Wright.

GOSH darn it doggone Mccain is clueless about the economy now what well golly gee I know lets just attack obama for the next 3 weeks WINK WINK the american people are doggone stupid!! they dont know any better YOU BETCHA WE WILL PLAY ON THEIR SMARTNESS!!

Gosh, darn it all. Let the Rethuglicans rip with the “guilt by association” game…I don’t believe it’ll work out quite the way they think it will. Let’s talk Phil and Wendy Gramm, Charles Keaton, Palin’s African Witch Doctor and her co-chairmanship of one of Ted Steven’s 527′s, etc.

OK wake up AMERICA the dow has dropped 600 points and McCain and Palin are pretty much going around the country gossiping. I mean, I don’t get it.
NO answers just stupid statements about NOTHING.
Paige got it right: McCain/Palin
COUNTRY LAST

Obama’s problems= pure speculation and perceived guilt by association
McCain/Palin= actual legislative hearings for McCain, and ducking an indictment by Palin and her husband…
The choice is easy…Running out of ideas, running out of options, running out of tactics, running out of opportunities to make Bush proud, (and with 29 days left) running out of time.
Obama/Biden 08

As if anyone believe Sarah Palin can read.

fob
because the same bologne with keating and Mccain
are at work today with Keating and Gramm and davis
and Bush and Cheney
all writing our economic future.
Get angry America!
Throw this scum out!

Does anyone know of Sarah Palin’s association with radical elements in Alaska asking for independence from the US. The party has lobbied since the 1970s for the right to hold a referendum on whether Alaska should secede from the United States. Its motto, “Alaska First”, contrasts sharply with the John McCain campaign slogan: “Country First.”
It seeks “the complete repatriation of the public lands, held by the federal government, to the state and people of Alaska” and aims to be “self-sufficient” by using profits from Alaskan oil and gas resources. It claims that the vote held in 1958 which led to Alaska becoming the 49th state of the US was corrupt and did not offer a proper choice.
While it is thought that Mrs Palin officially left the party to become a Republican in 1996, she recorded an address for its convention earlier this year in which she said: “I share your party’s vision of upholding the constitution of our great state” and told members to “keep up the good work”. So much for “country first”.

While the Dow plummets, Obama Campaign caught funneling $800,000 campaign dollars to ACORN, so they can continue their fraudulent voter registration efforts in all 57 states…………….

What is McCain doing to his legacy? I feel a bit sad for him. It’s one thing to win a campaign by going negative, but quite another to lose. I think Steve Schmidt is probably a very gifted political tactician, but appears to be a bit out of his league at the national level.

John McCain’s campaign is dying. He is doomed.
He will lose whether he goes negative or not. Therefore, he should go positive and at least salvage what is left of honor.

Say it with me…
We want our country back.
No McCain/Palin.
We want our country back.
No McCain/Palin.
We want our country back.
No McCain/Palin.

angie,
So is Obama going to do about? The Democrats already control Congress.

Someone asked what is Obama’s solution to the economic crisis…
I’ll tell you: Kick McCain and his George Bush policies to the curb.
Any other questions?

We want our country BACK.
No Obuma, DEM CONGRESS IS CORRUPT!!!!!
We want our country back!
NoOBUMA! NO SLICK RICK THE POVERTY PIMP!
VOTE NADAR! TO FREE AMERICA!!

Obama campaign doesn’t want the liberal media to talk about his association with known radicals. Hannity America last night focused on all of Obama’s associations with ACORN, Ayers, Wright. Does it not scare you to know that Obama is in the hip pocket of these known radicals? It does me….McCain/Palin!

McCain and Palin don’t get it. We’re in the middle of a major economic crisis and they want to “turn the page”. Well, too darn bad — I’m not ready to turn the page. I want to know what McCain and Palin plan to do to restore our economy? Please Sen. McCain, just answer the question.

This country is bad mess and she is slinging mud.
Nice to know they has so much info on what to do for us. <<<<>>>
Clinton already tried this and it didn’t work.She is fair game and we will see who slings the most last….

Change agent,
What is Obama going to do about the economy?

Say it with me…
We want our country back.
No OBAMA! DEMS ARE CORRUPT!
We want our country back.
No POVERTY PIMP AND NEW TAXES!!
We want our country back.
No OBUMA SLICK RICK IS A JOKE!

Obama should have to answer for his past radical ties and his ties to Acorn. ABC, NBC, CNN, MSCBN need to investigate this issue just like they investigate important items like what Palin reads? Does anyone see the irony of the media coming unglued because Palin said she reads any and everything but the MEDIA DOES NOT INVESTIGATE OBAMA’S PAST RADICAL ASSOCIATES AND HIS TIES TO ACORN WHICH TIES TO THE MORTGAGE CRISIS.

Sarah palin is now on a daily quest to convince the nation that she actually reads something besides extremist publications.
George W. Bush did that too after it was discovered and publicized that he didn’t read current events himself.

I cant frickin believe it!!! This countries economy has gone down the crap shoot, the DOW is plummeting, my savings and 401K is up in the air and McCain an Palin wanna tell me that Ayers is the reason!!! Who gives a hoot about Ayers, my God, is this woman serious, why does she not CONDEMN the Univesity of CHicago for hiring “an unrepentant terrorist” and condemn all the Americans who send their kids to that school.. How STUPID do the republicans think we are…

McCain is not attacting Obama, he is only telling the truth. The man is friends to terriost, they bombed the pentagon, what else do we want. all the foriegn countrys want Obama to win why do you think that is so, because he is friends with them. And if he wins the election, we will be living as communist. Tell me Americans is that what we want.

What exactly has been RESOLVED?
The Feds are only BEGINNING their inquiries into the ACORN voter fraud allegations.
Try again.

SandyB this is all to difficult for the bots to understand!
They have not received the talking points on this yet. It will now be resolved. OH AGAIN! IT IS RESOLVED WHEN WE SAY IT IS!!!

OK PALIN——YOUR INCOME 167 THOUSAND A YEAR COMBINED—–WHERE THE HELL DID THE MILLIONS IN ASSETS COME FROM —THE FUZZY MATH JUST DONT WORK OUT—THIS WOMAN +BNEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED—-THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE SURE WAS PROFITABLE FOR SOMEONE.—

maverick…you’d better chck out how many lobbyists McCaim has up hi ssleeve and running his campaign. McCain takes PAC money and donations from all kinds of right wing oraganizations.
BTW, did you know that Ayers was fighting against the Vietnam was? He was trying to stop killing young men!!! Of course he was extreme, but he is now a respected professor. Please Obama was 8 years olds when this went down…

“Senior Obama adviser David Axelrod told CNN that Obama had no idea who Ayers was when he visited his home in 1995.”

PEOPLE on this blog… THINK for a second. If Ayers is as bad as the republicans claim (I detest the acts he has done decades ago but…) He is a professor of English at the Univesity of Chicago.. so I guess the trustees of that institution, the Americans who send there kids there, the kids who he has taught, and all the people in chicago who have interacted with this man should all be CONDEMNED by Mccain and Palin for their association with a terrorist. HOW DUMB and STUPID do the republicans think we are…

McCain DOES talk about the economy at every campaign stop and how he will deal with it as President: spending freeze, tax cuts, etc. etc.
Palin is the one making the association attacks, which is what V.P. candidates are supposed to do.
Obama had better be studying extra hard for this debate. I have the feeling a VERY different John McCain is going to show up for this one. Even if McCain pulls out all the stops and ONLY hammers Obama on his and the other DEMS role in this financial crisis, Obama is going to be very hard put to defend himself and those of his colleagues.

Well first lets us blame the dem congress when its been corrupt for 2 1/2 YEARS a republican president for 7 1/2 YEARS Senator McCain will first SHRED THE BUSH/CHENY policies keep the LOBBYISIT THE HELL OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE! REGULATION REGULATION SOMETHING THAT THE GOOD racist OBUMA and corrupt DEMS SAID. Do not regulate Fannie and Freddie. OH REALLY IT IS WELL I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU OBUMA!!!BUT IM FREAKING LOSING ALOT OF MONEY ON MY 401K
This is all the Change I DID NOT HOPE FOR…….

John McCain in the spring, commenting on a NC ad on Wright:
“We asked them not to run it,” McCain told reporters on his campaign bus in Kentucky Wednesday. “I’m sending them an e-mail as we speak asking them to take it down.
“I don’t know why they do it. Obviously, I don’t control them, but I’m making it very clear, as I have a couple of times in the past, that there’s no place for that kind of campaigning, and the American people don’t want it,” McCain said.
McCain said the ad was described to him: “I didn’t see it, and I hope that I don’t see it.”
I really miss John McCain. I believe he once has honor.

Sandy…don’t forget McCain said he knows NOTHING about the economy( maybe that us why he got involved in the Savings and Loan mess). So the debate should be interesting. Plus don’t forget, McCain was in the forfront of deregulations which got us, in part, into this mess…

Three Facts About John McCain’s Extreme Record on the Economy
1. McCain’s economic plan gives Big Oil a $4 billion tax break while 101 million working families get no relief at all.
Source: Tax Policy Center, Preliminary Analysis Of The 2008 Presidential Candidates’ Tax Plan, 6/20/08; Center for American Progress Action Fund, 3/27/08
2. John McCain supports tax breaks for companies that send American jobs overseas. This year, we’ve lost more than 600,000 American jobs to outsourcing.

3. John McCain will continue George Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans while the middle class struggles with stagnant wages and rising prices.
Source: MSNBC/FAU GOP Debate, 1/24/2008

as a top McCain aide explained to the New York Daily News:
“It’s a dangerous road, but we have no choice,” a top McCain strategist told the Daily News. “If we keep talking about the economic crisis, we’re going to lose.”

mara…yes, I remember when he said he was going to run a “clean” campaign. What happened….perhaps Sarah Palin?
She is REALLY good at smearing people.

Wall Street won’t let McCain “turn the page”.

What exactly has been RESOLVED?

——–
Lets blame Obama for this… because it must have worked.. We have had a Republican in office for 8 years….you guys are nuts.

unfortunately mccain is being punished for the incompetence of the GOP in the last 8 years..if not for that he would probably would have had this election locked up a long time ago..
as to obama ..he’s just an empty suit..his advantage is that he is nothing and has done nothing..
sort of like a parasite or a vulture buzzing around wounded animals..

MCCAIN SAID THE SURGE ALLOWED US TO WIN THE WAR. THEN WHY ARE WE STILL THERE?
WHY ARE WE STILL SENDING SOLDIERS? WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL DYING?
WHY IS BEN LADEN STILL ALIVE? WHY ARE WE NOT HELPING GEN. DAVID MCKIERNAN IN AFGHANISTAN AS HE IS BEGGING US TO DO.
WHY IS PALIN COMMENTING ON ANYTHING WHEN SHE NAMED A MAN DEAD FOR OVER 100 YEARS AND THE GENERAL IN CHARGE OF AFGHANISTAN. WHY ARE WE EVEN LISTENING TO HER WHEN SHE COULD NOT NAME A SUPREME COURT DECISION EXCEPT THE ONE SOMEONE ELSE GAVE HER. WHY ARE WE GETTING ADVICE FROM A WOMAN WHO COULD NOT EVEN NAME A MAGAZINE SHE READS EXCEPT TO SAY ALL OF THEM.
THIS DECISION IS NOT EVEN CLOSE
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 – BECAUSE AMERICA IS SMARTER THAN A THIRD GRADER.

McCain-Palin. Turning the page on our economy.

My bad. That last post was supposed to say : McCain-Palin. Turning their back on our economy.

Oh, and by the way, the Bush (REPUBLICAN) Administration has actually made the government even bigger, not smaller.

Rome burns while McCain fiddles!
Gosh darn it, Clinton needs to knock Palin on her butt!!

It makes no difference that Obama “condemned” Ayers’ terorist acts. What the hell is a President doing having anything to do with a guy who bombed the Pentagon!!! Unbelievable!! It is just another one of Obama’s lies and cover ups. Obama’s associations do matter, a lot! It was not just bad judgement on his part. It reveals his lack of interest in doing the right thing. Obama is utterly unfit to be President. I don’t care if the economy dissolved–Obama is unfit.

So where is the story about McCain auctioning off one of his houses? It is a 15,000 s.f. mansion. You have to pay $100,000 just to bid. Must be nice to have a wife who inherited a beer biz.
Be productive American workers and quit yer whinin.

” I look foward to the day when a man is NOT judged by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.”

Ask Sarah if elected where will she be? LoL…. Little Mrs. Beauty Pagent Contestent they used you as a prop? Sarah you and Todd need to go back to little ole Alaska and let Todd get back to unofficial business of running things that you where elected to do..

SERIOUSLY CAN YOU IMAGINE PALIN RESPONDING TO RUSSIA OR NORTH KOREA OR IRAN.
I CAN SEE YOU FROM MY HOUSE. WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE THINK PUTTIN’S RESPONSE WILL BE. WELL AT LEAST YOU’LL HAVE YOUR PALIN DOLLS AND AUTOGRAPHS FROM THE AIRHEAD MAVERICK WHO YOU ARE GOING TO FOR WISDOM AND ANSWERS. I WOULD WAKE UP FROM THIS NIGHTMARE, EXCEPT THAT IT IS REAL. NO PALIN. NO MCCAIN.
I WILL GUARANTEE, AMERICA WILL BE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE WORLD AND BIGGEST JOKE IN HISTORY.

WAIT UNTIL WE START TO REALLY FIND OUT ABOUT THE FIRST DUDE I KNOW OBAMA DOESNT LIKE TO PLAY DIRTY BUT HE BETTER GET ON THE BALL,HE ALREADY IS EDUCATING THE YOUNG PEOPLE ON KEATING FIVE YOU KNOW THE 18 19 YEAR OLDS THAT WERE JUST BORN IN 1990 NOW HE BETTER EDUCATE US ON MCCAIN AND HIS MAFIA AND MOB TIES AS WELL AS THE FIRST DUDE BELONGING TO THE ANTI-AMERICAN INDEPENDENT GROUP SARA IS GOING TO WISH SHE NEVER OPENED UP HER FILTHY LYING CORRUPT MOUTH!

HP Boston, If Obama is “palling” with terrorists, why are they not in jail?
oops, forgot that part, right?….

LETS INVESTIGATE OBAMA——HIS ASSETS AND INCOME —-DO NOT JIVE—–MORE IN ASSETS THAN ALL THE EARNED INCOME FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS—OR PERHAPS MONEY GROWS ON TREES -

Ayers:
University of Chicago Professor
1. Condemn this institution and its trustees for allowing such a repugnant man to be teaching there. how could they allow a man to mold the minds of american kids who take his classes. PLease condemn all the parents who send their kids to this school for associating with a man…
University of Chicago are training terrorists by allowing Ayers to teach their.. hope you idiots on this site realise how ILLOGICAL your argument about Ayers is and how stupid the republicans think you are because you take the bait…

Gee we wouldn’t want to talk about the real issues now would we McCain and Palin.
Show how out of touch they both are with what the American people care about. They are using the same old Republican idea. If you don’t have **** to say about the real issue then make up some stuff to try to get some attention.
Obama and Biden are in touch with what the people want.
Obama/Biden 2008!!!!!
Now more than ever!!!!!

America needs to get back to basics. I don’t hear Democrats or the media talking about Obama’s lack of experience….for God sake…he’s running for president..which I happen to think is a lot more important then Sarah Palin’s lack of experience running as vice president.
One of the bloggers wrote that McCain should share is fortune. Why should he …how did Obama make is fortune..I don’t see him willing to share it.

The phrase “if we keep talking about the economic crisis, we’re going to lose” should end up in an Obama ad. It was even dumber than saying, “we need to turn the page on the economy.”
Distract, divide, distort, and lie…they’re not going to work this time around.

I cannot believe that McCain actually wants to go dirty. This is a notorious womanizer who has had dozens of extramarital affairs on both his first wife and Cindy. And he’s deeply ethically challenged on the topic that is at the top of everyone’s list right now- the economy and its oversight. Look no further than his Senate censure during the Keating Five scandal. If McCain really wants to go negative, that would be a sad, regretable move. But… bring it on. We dare you, John.

WE HAS A SURPLUS WHEN CLINTON AND THE DEMOCRATS LEFT OFFICE.
WE HAVE THE HIGEST UNEMPLOYMENT, HIGHEST NEW HOMELESSNESS, HIGEST FORECLOSURES AND HIGHEST FINANCIAL FAILURE EVER AND WE STILL ARE NOT AT THE END OF THE REPUBLICAN/BUSH/MCCAIN ERA.
AND MCCAIN WANTS US TO GIVE HIM 4 MORE YEARS. FOR WHAT TO BURY AMERICA AND PUT A TOMBSTONE ON IT. NO THANKS.

In times of trouble, citizens of our country have always turned to those politicans that express solutions to problems. John McCain and Sarah Palin are voices of reason in proposing changes for the good of the country. In contrast, empty and impossible promises of Obama based on limited experience and even less understanding of underlining principles of our economy should make everyone fearful.
It is not “can he talk good” it is “can he have good talk”.
Obama does talk good.
A veteran that could never vote for such a fraud.
Chuck in Annapolis

SERIOUSLY CAN YOU IMAGINE PALIN RESPONDING TO RUSSIA OR NORTH KOREA OR IRAN.

People are losing their life savings and we are talking about Ayers?

RNC to File FEC Complaint on Obama Fundraising Practices
A lawyer for the Republican National Committee today said the party will ask the Federal Election Commission to look into the source of thousands of small-dollar contributions to the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama.

hey Hp…
Guess WHAT? Good news – The Obama campaign has requested an investigation into Johnny’s funding too – since he also has many overseas donors.
SUCH FUN for ALL!

The Republican administration SHREDDED the Constitution.
They took away more of our civil liberties than any in the past 50 years.
The operated with impunity and with a complete disregard for the law.
I guess that’s why PALIN likes them! She does the same thing in Alaska.

I thought Ayers was a prof at the Univ. of Illinois at Chicago???? Much different than UC.

Indy voter – she doesn’t read newspapers, she reads Starbucks cups and gets the quotes wrong.

Point is Obama looked at us and lied to our faces. Much like “I did not have sex with that woman.”

I am amused that people are surprised about McCain’s mumblings and inarticulate utterance on the economy. McCain has reached the age of dementia – when memories go haywire and the brain sleeps while an individual thinks he/she is making sense. This is what is going on with Sen. McCain. This is natural and not his fault, but we are not going to be emotional and give him the presidency of this great nation to completely destroy what is left after Bush’s mess

lol lol you bots are so afraid of Governor Palin!
Rome is burning and the sky is falling and you little lemmings are screeching at the VP candidate. Now you all hush up VP Biden has had a death in his family and needs you all to send a sympathy card.

PHIL GRAHAM THE MAN THAT CALLED US A NATION OF WHINERS AND SAID WE ARE IN A MENTAL RECESSION DAMN RIGHT IM WHINING AND ITS NOT MENTAL TO ME WHEN IM LOSING MONEY FASTLY AND ALOT ON MY 401K DAMN THAT MAN JUST TO THINK HE WILL BE MCCAINS SECERTARY OF TREASURY IN MCCAINS ADMIN WE CANT LET THAT HAPPEN HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Halal Food Act Passed In Illinois Senate
In a landmark event for Illinois’ more than 400,000 Muslim, the Illinois senate has unanimously passed the Halal Food Act on Thursday to safeguard the interests of the Muslim consumer.
The Illinois Halal Food Act was sponsored by Sen.Christine Radogno (R-La Grange) with Senator Barack Obama as Chief Co-Sponsor.
April 10, 2001

PALIN HAS TO BE AN ABSOLUTE TWIT TO DO THIS DIRTY MISLEADING CRAP FOR MCCAIN–DONT ALL WOMEN LOVE HER—–I THINK NOT

geevill,
Why don’t you remember that Muslim does not= terrorist? If all those 400,000 Muslims were terrorists, Illinois would be burning rubble.
I think it’s great he recognizes the need for religious tolerance and accomodating other’s beliefs.

Obama doesn’t pass the “STINK” test.
Character does matter…..you are who you choose to associate with! Wright, Resko, Ayers ….. good company? Man, if this mess was stuck on the GOP shoes, the media elite left goose steppers would be all over this!

“Why don’t you remember that Muslim does not= terrorist? If all those 400,000 Muslims were terrorists, Illinois would be burning rubble.”
I didn’t say they were terrorists. I just noted how Obama took care of the Muslims until 9/11/2001. Now he disavows his pro-muslim feelings.

I am amused that people are surprised about OBUMAS mumblings and inarticulate utterance on the economy. OBUMA has not reached the age of dementia – when memories go haywire and the brain sleeps while an individual thinks he is making sense. BUT This is what is going on with Sen. OBUMA. This is not his fault. IT is emotional and the presidency of this great nation can not be completely destroy , do not vote for the POVERTY PIMP!.
Obuma will overcome his stutter stammer problem with therapy.

DLM,
Can’t you spot a Obama imposter yet.
I am stil a PUMA voting for MCCain.

The economy is burning and McCain refuses to pay attention.
Palin’s refusal to pay attention to the economy will end all her hopes of running in 2012.
Americans remember when politicians refuse to care about their jobs and focus on other issues.

McCain is absolutely clueless when it comes to economics. The guy doesn’t even pay the bills or ballance the family check book at home. His mother was an oil heiress and he married a beer empire heiress. The guy has never worried about money for a day in his life.
And for all you mavericks out there. What do you have to say about the Weekly Standard – that bastion of Conservatism – when they say that McCain has “No Consistent Economic Principles”
Read it and weep kids. Your emperor has no clothes:
“No consistent economic principles can be extracted from McCain’s grab bag of policy positions, and no amount of textbook baloney about the free market, deregulation, and limited government will deter him from bringing his malefactors to justice. McCain’s economics aren’t ideological but improvisational–a campaign with shifting fronts, running on indignation.”
http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/014/751tryie.asp?pg=2
Meanwhile:
-the S&P and NASDAQ are both down 5% (a considerably more important drop than the 30 companies that make up the DOW component)
-Canada’s market is suffering its biggest loss since 87.
-European markets are imploding
-Latin America is dropping like a rock; Brazil facing a record drop (why didn’t McCain’s honey clue him in on that!?!? He’s the Latin American expert, si?)
Oh Sarah, what would a Maverick do?????
Talk to your advisors, maybe?
Uh oh, just last month McCain advisor Donald Luskin said that we are heading into an age “of accelerating prosperity.”
Sure we are.
Accelerating into:
$10 trillion in national debt?
A financial industry that’s bankrupt?
A currency losing value by the day?
Thank you George Bush, Paulson, Greenspan, Bernanke and deregulators Gramm and McCain. et. al.
Thanks for letting America’s economy go down the drain under your leadership!
Heckuva job!

Considering the fury that Gov. Palin’s comments about Ayers has made, it would now appear the mainstream media and Obama campaign are sure on the defensive.

Next year is the 80th anniversary of the Great Depression. If McCain wins, Vag Cheney will jump out of the cake to wish him Happy Anniversary.

“Palin reads newspapers?”
Only the headlines I think. The article she’s talking about concluded that Obama and Ayers were not, in fact, close.
Anyway, I think this says it all really:
“If we keep talking about the economic crisis, we’re going to lose.”
So if there’s a difficult problem, they’re going to try and ignore it. Does anyone really want someone with that attitude running the country (again)?

Just curious: Why wasn’t your headline for the recent post on Obama’s attack of the day: “Dow Plummets; Obama talking about 20 year old S&L scandal”?

I just read the very impressive 10 pages of Rolling Stone’s portrait of John McCain as a make-believe maverick.
It’s the best and deepest thing ever written in this country about John McCain.
It truly is a must read, for Democrats and Republicans alike.
Kudos to Rolling Stone magazine for doing such a serious and important job.

I dont know about you guys but i’m scared of Obama and what he might do to the US if he becomes president. He is lethal and dangerous. He has no experience and has no idea what he’s doing or talking about. Who cares if he’s a senator that doesnt make him qualified to be president of the united states. He hasnt done anything in the senate? Oh wait, he did. He did vote but pushed the wrong buttons… “uh uh uh uh ooops”. Community leader? Leader of radicals and terrorists! Brace yourself USA… Barry Barrack Hussein Obama (whatever is his name) is the weapon of mass destruction!

Someone in the MSM has to have the balls to step up and do their investigative work on B. Hussein. FOX shouldn’t have to do this singlehandedly.
OBAMA NOT QUALIFIED TO BE C.I.C……JUST NOT. Why won’t Americans wake up….Obama is not Colin Powell or any other quaified black candidate. WHEN HAS OBAMA EVER REALLY SERVED THIS COUNTRY, AND NOT HIMSELF AND HIS POLITICAL AMBITION?
NEVER.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN/PALIN!

“The question: Why do Obama’s deeds contradict his words? Is anyone in the mainstream media curious???”

For those who say that McCain’s scandal was a 20 year old scandal and justify it that way are ridiculous. McCain was 58 at the time, don’t you think he should know by than who he should get himself involved with? You can’t justify his actions in the Keating 5 Scandal, he was wrong
———————–
TRUE!
Keating 5 scandal is 20 years old. And McCain was a key figure who helped and took money from Keating. Keating was convicted.
The Weather Underground was active about 40 years ago – of which Obama was NEVER a member. (And Ayres was convicted of what exactly? HINT: he answer is nothing.)
Attacks against Obama are only guilt by association, but McCain is just plain guilty!
This is going to be fun!
Especially when Palin gets convicted of abusing the power of her office. (No wonder she is demanding that the results of the investigation be kept from the public.)
Two maverick crooks backed by a crooked party. That’s the Republicans.

Well it is about time that Obama is being exposed for who he really is and who he really knows. He has surrounded himself for years with oorrupt America hating individuals as well as his wife who disliked American until her husband was groomed to become a leader. How can some one associate hisself with haters and prejusticed people and claim to be one who will save America. William Ayres a well known terrorist activist and now know as an educator has been behind Obama from the beginning. He is now taking money for his presidency for foreign entities and will not acknowledge it. He is a abortionist advocate from the lowest degree. Anyone who would support killing the unknown born certainly can have no feelings for human beings much less himself. It is a well known fact Islamic terrorist and those like them are very patient in their plan to destroy America and western countries because of our faith to our God. It is my opinion and others, Obama is part of the master plan to destroy our freedom loving and God fearing countries.

If Palin and the other GOP attack dogs are going to distort information for political gain, it’s only fair that the Democrats do the same to discredit their ticket. They should talk about McCain as an adulterer and Palin’s husband as a member of the Alaska Independance party. Go for the jugular!

Hey Muppet– What info did Palin distort???

McCain’s POW torture stories
are all fake on which his
whole public persona has been
built.
For some thirty five years
he has succeeded in fooling
the public that his credentials
are unassailable based on
the suffering he endured as
a POW.
This presidential contest
has laid bare his profound
dishonesty and his addiction
to telling lies.

Palin distorted the fact that Obama’s association with Ayers is indicative that Obama hates America or has out of mainstream views. Well if we’re going down that trail, Palin doesn’t support abortion in cases of rape or incest, which most mainstream Americans think should be legal. Does that mean Palin hates women or America? No, but hey why not distort it since that’s what she’s doing to the other ticket? It’s the golden rule, treat others the way you would want to be treated. Be critical, but don’t sling mud.

Muppet–But Obama lied about the relationship. Why?

Ah, big news, big news. John McCain has balanced the numbers on his health care plan. That guy knows his math.
According to the WSJ, while McCain TAXES EVERY WORKING AMERICAN’S HEALTH CARE BENEFITS, he will also CUT MEDICARE (for the elderly) and Medicaid (for poverty level women and children).
Great leader that McCain. He really WILL do for our health care what they’ve done for the banks.
And while the economic meltdown continues Sarah Palin prattles on about how great that natural gas pipeline will be when (and if) it gets completed in 10 years.

Cardinal – why does it matter? Unless Obama himself was a member of the weather underground, or financing them or whatever, why does it matter? The whole point that this is an issue of speculation is to make him look out of mainstream. That’s the only reason why somebody like you would care. McCain got an endorsement by controversial evangelist John Hagee. Now McCain didn’t accept monetary contributions but he didn’t distance himself from him. Why not make a big deal about that?

LIE: “My view is that the community organizer was really a sham event. Bill Ayers was testing him.”(Andy Martin, Hannity’s America, October 5, 2008, “Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism”)
TRUTH: Bill Ayers had nothing to do with Obama’s community organizing job. It’s pure lunacy to imagine that Ayers was “testing” Obama.
LIE: Obama’s “community organizing is a grand scheme perpetuated by none other than William Ayers.”(Sean Hannity, Hannity’s America, October 5, 2008, “Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism”)
TRUTH: Obama’s community organizing was not a vast conspiracy for revolution devised by Bill Ayers.
LIE: “They live half a mile from William Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist” and “Just a half a mile from those homes is Louis Farrakhan.”(Hannity’s America, October 5, 2008, “Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism”)
TRUTH: It’s true, of course, that Obama lives in this same neighborhood, as do tens of thousands of other people who presumably are also guilty by geographical association. The logic of this argument would be, if you live half a mile from a sex offender, then you agree with child molesters.
LIE: Obama and Ayers “appeared together at various public engagements…it would seem that they are more than just a little bit friendly.”(Sean Hannity, Hannity’s America, October 5, 2008, “Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism”)
TRUTH: Appearing on a speaking panel is not a sign of friendship. There is no evidence that Obama had any role in ever inviting Ayers to speak.
LIE: In 1995, Ayers and Dohrn “hosted a political coming out party for a young Barack Obama.”(Sean Hannity, Hannity’s America, October 5, 2008, “Obama and His Friends: History of Radicalism”)
TRUTH: This was an event for Alice Palmer, not a “coming-out party” for Obama. Obama was invited by Palmer to the event.
But long before tonight’s Hannity, the right-wing has been spreading a series of lies about Obama and Ayers.
LIE: “Bill Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist.”
TRUTH: Bill Ayers is not, and apparently never was, a terrorist. The conventional definition of a terrorist is someone who tries to kill innocent people for political purposes. As Factcheck noted, In fact, nobody died as a result of bombings in which Ayers said he participated as part of the Weather Underground. (Factcheck)
LIE: “I’m sure he’s very patriotic, but his relationship with Mr. Ayers is open to question….Because, if you’re going to associate and have as a friend and serve on a board and have a guy kick off your campaign that says he’s unrepentant, that he wished he’d bombed more. And then, the worst thing of all, that I think really indicates Senator Obama’s attitude, is he had the incredible statement that he compared Mr. Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist — an unrepentant terrorist, with Senator Tom Coburn. Senator Coburn, a physician who goes to Oklahoma on the weekends and brings babies into life.’ (John McCain, April 20, 2008, ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos)
TRUTH: Obama was not friends with Ayers. Ayers did not kick off Obama’s campaign. And Obama was not comparing Ayers’ actions with Coburn. Obama was pointing out that he works with people even when he disagrees with them.
LIE: “Obama’s oldest friend in politics is a murderer and unrepentant terrorist. Why are they friends?”(ExposeObama.com email, Sept. 7, 2008)
TRUTH: Ayers isn’t Obama’s oldest friend in politics.
LIE: Ayers was “Obama’s boss.”(Jerome Corsi, p. 147)
TRUTH: The chair of a foundation board is not the boss of the members.
LIE: Jerome Corsi claimed Alice “Palmer would never have introduced Obama to the Hyde Park political community at the Ayres-Dohrn home unless she saw an affinity between Ayers and Dohrn’s radical leftist history, her own history of far-leftist politics, and the politics of Barack Obama.”(p. 137)
TRUTH: The event wasn’t held primarily for Obama. It was Palmer’s own announcement that she would run for Congress. Obama was there as Palmer’s endorsed successor for her Senate seat, but there’s no evidence that he had any role in deciding to hold it at Ayers’ home.
LIE: Jerome Corsi claims about Obama: “either he did not know Ayers and Dohrn are still radical leftists–in which case he is implausibly naive–or Obama did know, which would confirm he joined with Ayers and Dohrn because Obama too continues to believe, albeit silently and secretly, in the Far Left’s radical agenda.”(p. 140)
TRUTH: Obama probably knew Ayers was a leftist, but he didn’t care. Obama believes in the notion of a free society, where you work with people you disagree with.
LIE: “Even today, Ayers appears to hold the same radical political beliefs he did in the Weather Underground, and Obama had to know that was also the case when he first met Ayers in 1995.”(Jerome Corsi, p. 147)
TRUTH: Corsi doesn’t explain how Obama “had to know” Ayers’ views on politics when he first met him. Telepathy? Mind-reading?
LIE: David Freddoso calls Obama’s distant connection with Bill Ayers “a remarkable relationship for a presidential nominee to have.”(p. 122)
TRUTH: It reality, it’s not remarkable at all. The notion that people should resign from foundations and refuse to speak in public in order to avoid any connection to a former radical never convicted of a crime is absurd.
LIE: “The major media simply have not reported on Obama’s two years at New York’s Columbia University, where, among other things, he lived a mere quarter-mile from former terrorist Bill Ayers.”(Tony Blankley, September 24, 2008)
TRUTH: Thousands upon thousands of people lived near Bill Ayers in Manhattan. Obama didn’t know Ayers.
LIE: Mr. Ayers founded CAC and was its guiding spirit. No one would have been appointed the CAC chairman without his approval. (Stanley Kurtz, Wall Street Journal)
TRUTH: Kurtz has no evidence to support his claim. Ayers was one of several people involved in starting the group, and was not its guiding spirit. According to the New York Times reporting, Obama was recruited by other CAC leaders who knew him through the Joyce Foundation.
LIE: Mr. Obama and Mr. Ayers worked as a team to advance the CAC agenda. (Stanley Kurtz, Wall Street Journal)
TRUTH: Kurtz has no evidence that Obama and Ayers worked as a team. Ayers attended six meetings of the group along with Obama.
LIE: “Obama is hanging around with Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright. By the way, Bill Ayers advertised himself as being a communist with a small c just when he was beginning to
partner with Obama on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. (Stanley Kurtz, Hudson Institute, Washington DC, October 1, 2008)
TRUTH: Contrary to this McCarthyist attack, there’s no evidence that Obama ever knew that Ayers supposedly called himself a communist, nor is that a good reason for Obama to end his work on school reform and charitable activities.
LIE: “who provided Obama with the only executive experience he has ever had in his young life? Bill Ayers, unrepentant domestic terrorist, communist revolutionary… (Joseph Farah, World Net Daily, October 2, 2008)
TRUTH: Ayers did not provide Obama with the Chicago Annenberg Challenge job. And Obama has also had executive experience in community organizing, running a voter registration drive, as well as running his campaigns. The New York Times reported, “In fact, according to several people involved, Mr. Ayers played no role in Mr. Obama’s appointment. Instead, it was suggested by Deborah Leff, then president of the Joyce Foundation, a Chicago-based group whose board Mr. Obama, a young lawyer, had joined the previous year.”(Scott Shane, New York Times, October 4, 2008)
LIE: “Barack Obama is friends with Ayers, defending him as quote ‘respectable and mainstream.’”(American Issues Project ad, August 2008)
TRUTH: David Axelrod described them as “friendly,” not friends. Obama didn’t call Ayers respectable and mainstream (although Ayers now is); Obama’s campaign on his website posted an op-ed in the press that described Ayers that way.
LIE: “I can’t understand why somebody who wants to be president of the United States, I’ll be perfectly honest with you, would want to associate or not condemn the actions of people in the past.”(Paul Ragonese, April 27, 2008, Fox News’ Hannity’s America)
TRUTH: Obama has condemned the past actions of Bill Ayers and called him somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago. (April 16, 2008 debate)
LIE: “Mr. Ayers founded CAC and was its guiding spirit. No one would have been appointed the CAC chairman without his approval.”(Stanley Kurtz, Wall Street Journal)
TRUTH: Kurtz has no evidence to support his claim. Ayers was one of several people involved in starting the group, and was not its guiding spirit.
LIE: “Mr. Obama and Mr. Ayers worked as a team to advance the CAC agenda.”(Stanley Kurtz, Wall Street Journal)
TRUTH: Kurtz has no evidence that Obama and Ayers worked as a team. Ayers attended six meetings of the group along with Obama.
LIE: About Bill Ayers, “Barack Obama really couldn’t bring himself to say ‘you know, I really don’t like that guy.’ That was too much for him to say. He had to talk about what a decent guy he is and what a good professor.”(Jim Geraghty, “Hype: The Obama Effect”)
TRUTH: There is no record of Obama during the campaign calling Ayers “decent” and “a good professor.” In fact, Obama really did bring himself to criticize Ayers, denouncing him during a Democratic debate as “somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago.”
LIE: “Obama was feted at a fundraising event” at Ayers’ home.(“Hype: The Obama Effect”)
TRUTH: Obama never had a fundraising event at Ayers’ home.
LIE: Barack Obama and Bill Ayers had a close working relationship…the two of them were running the foundation together. (Stanley Kurtz, Fox News Channel’s Fox and Friends, September 29, 2008)
TRUTH: Kurtz has no evidence of a “close working relationship” beyond attending a few meetings together. The notion that Obama and Ayers were the only ones running the Chicago Annenberg Challenge is absolutely false.
LIE: “The most important smoking gun is that Barack Obama was funding Bill Ayers’ radical educational projects.”(Stanley Kurtz, Fox News Channel’s Fox and Friends, September 29, 2008)
TRUTH: This is false. Obama was the president of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, not its dictator. There’s no evidence that Obama made any funding decisions. Moreover, it would have been completely unprofessional for anyone, including Obama, to ban Bill Ayers from receiving funding for educational projects because of alleged radical activities decades earlier which Ayers was never convicted of. Kurtz has no evidence that projects were judged based on anything other than their merits. This is a pure smear by association.
LIE: Emails “give us strong evidence that there may have been a cover-up in Bill Ayers’ role choosing Barack Obama.”(Stanley Kurtz, Fox News Channel’s Fox and Friends, September 29, 2008)
TRUTH: This is a fabrication. The email Kurtz is referring to shows absolutely no kind of cover up. In fact, it shows exactly the opposite. In his blog, Kurtz quotes the entire email Ken Rolling wrote to CAC founders Warren Chapman and Anne Hallett and notes that Sam Dillon, Education Reporter for the New York Times, was working on an article. Rolling wrote about Dillon, He is trying to understand how Barack got ‘picked’ for the CAC board, by whom, why, etc. – I have avoided that question head-on though I believe Barack was Debbie Leff’s/Joyce nomination.” This email reveals no kind of cover-up, and the New York Times article found several sources that said Obama was not picked by Ayers.
LIE: “There is a secret group in the Obama-Biden campaign tasked with shutting off any leaks from the record that links Barack Obama to his longtime adviser and mentor Bill Ayers, professor of education at the University of Illinois and unrepentant Weatherman terrorist and fugitive from the 1970s….There is a substantial independent report from a major Democratic source that confirms Diamond’s suspicions. The source confirms the unit is led by Bill Ayers himself and likely includes Tom Hayden and other members of ‘Progressives for Obama.’ Most critically, the Democratic source says this unit has direct access to media adviser David Axelrod of the Obama-Biden campaign.”(John Batchelor, Human Events, September 12, 2008)
TRUTH: There is no “secret group.” Hayden reports, “I am not part of any effort, personal or organized, trying to protect Obama against any leaks.” The notion that Ayers is leading the “unit” is laughable. According to the University of Illinois library, “all papers have been available since August 26″ about the school reform group that Ayers and Obama worked on. Diamond, the source cited for the existence of the “unit,” declares, “I have no evidence of such a unit.” Diamond added, “I told Batchelor that I would not speak to Human Events yet he made up a quote from me and placed it in his article.”

Cardinal – I wish you the best of luck finding a politician who won’t lie to you. If you think McCain / Palin ticket your white knight who will never lie to you about controversial supporters or issues that are equally not as “mainstream” as Obama. Fine. Sleep tight beliving that. The fact is all politicians lie. But some have lies that are more damaging to the American people than others. Ayers isn’t one of them.

McCain has lost, why because he is running a smear campaign and NOT adressing the issues, what he would do to fix them. After all he said he doesn’t know it.

So this is the “NEW” Republican party?
Uh, right.
Same old party, same old ideas, and same old tactics (Or is it a stategy Maverick?)

What does it mean when David Axelrod says there’s “no evidence” they were close?
That’s pretty slippery. He can ask Obama, and speak directly for Obama. He should be able to say, “Obama says they were not close”. Saying there’s no evidence sounds as if he simply thinks someone else can’t prove they were close, but they may well have been.
Obama and Axelrod have both had to change their stories as new evidence has come up.
Why were they not just direct and honest from the beginning?

Can’t win on domestic policy
Can’t win on international policy
Can’t win on tax policy
Can’t win on medical care policy
Can’t win on financial policy
Can’t win on credibility (thanks Palin!)
Can’t win on judgment
Can’t win on personality
Can’t win with old war stories
Can’t win with a winking Pageant Princess
Can’t even win getting all mavericky
Uh, lets try name calling and fear tactics?
“I would rather sell my integrity than lose an election”

If Obama wins in November, you’ll long for the good old days when the Dow only dipped below 10,000. Between November and January 20th, smart people will be selling their stocks in order to avoid paying the higher capital gains taxes Obama will impose. The only suckers caught in the falling market will be the common man with their 401k’s they’re too young to withdraw from.
All Obama has to do is crack open a history book and read how higher taxes prolong economic downturns. But he’s either too lazy to read or knows that scenario doesn’t play into the class warfare that’s his only chance of winning.

If McCain-Palin have dropped out in Michigan, does that mean the formerly productive American workers who once built Mavericks for Ford in that state know that model is a discontinued antique?

John McCain sat on a board.
“It was the U.S. Council for World Freedom. It was chaired by a guy named John Singlaub who wound up involved in the Iran Contra scandal. It was an ultra conservative right-wing group.

=========================================
You forgot that this “board” promoted Anti Semitic and Racist ideals!!!

I will support a lower tax rate for the rich as soon as they start contributing the same percentage to Social Security that us poor people have to pay.

McCain can try turning the page, but he’s not holding the book. We the people decide what issues concern us and how they will affect our vote. I already knew about Ayers, Wright, and Rezko when I voted for Obama in the primary. I will vote for Obama again in the general election. People have forgotten or do not know that McCain was one of the Keating Five involved the the Savings & Loan scandal in 1989. Now they will be reminded. Obama for POTUS!

The DOW plummeted 700 pts. today, and McCain wants to talk about some guy that Obama knew ten years ago. McCain can try turning the page on the economy, but the economy won’t let him.

Seriously, this is so funny. If Ms. Palin actually took the time to do her homework, she would find that Bill Ayers is NOT a former/current terrorist. I had him as a professor at UIC and found him to be one of the most outstanding professors I’ve ever encountered. He met with students whenever they needed him and had our entire class in his home for a ‘field trip’. He would do anything for just about anyone, as would his wife. He is a true liberal and is a phenomenal human being!

I have not read all the responses, so I don’t know if anyone decided to say this, but… Sarah Palin was able to fit the New York Times in between her reading everything, and her reading everything else? Does Sarah Palin read up on anything? If she just Google’d once before she said something maybe she would think twice about what she was about to say, instead of saying anything the McCain writers push in front of her. If everyone Ayers was “associated” with was to be crucified, then some brilliant minds would be gone, including Obama. …I’ve just been handed a memo, McCain’s wife is a robot-terrorist. Must be true, no need to look it up.

Somthing smells fishy…Gov. Palin??? The handlers said fine Sarah you want us to let you loose like the wayward moose you are –Go! And look at what happened…she pulled erroneous miscredible lies out of her flute…LOL She’s a waste of resources, but it will be good for the dems if she and the McCain camp gets just enough rope to hang themselves.

At war the first casualty is the truth. At this electoral race the truth has been killed by McCain/Palin and the Republicans

I’m confused by the headline of this post. What exactly does the Industrial Average have to do with a campaign press release? You may as well blame it on what I had for lunch.

I am dismayed as I observe that I live in a country with a growing majority of people who want to elect a leader who has no regard for human life, as evidenced by his repeated rejection of legislature to provide any medical treatment of babies born alive as a result of botched abortions, and who is okay associating with those like Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers. They are anti-American, though they may not be jailed terrorists. I believe that you all need to go back and restudy American history, what our country was founded upon, and identify the qualities that made our founding fathers so successful. We have the oldest standing system of government in the world, more than two hundren years old. We need to return to the truths of the Word of God and judge the qualities of both men according to that. Remember, no one is perfect, not even the patriarchs of scripture, but we have a God who desires to use people that seek and serve him in order to accomplish his purposes in our lives, despite our blunders.

NAIROBI, Kenya —
The American author of a best-selling book attacking Barack Obama as unfit for the presidency was being deported from Kenya on Tuesday, a criminal investigations official said.
Oh, Obama… what now “my friend” and “fellow American”….

Once again in a time of national crisis, our nation is being polarized with fear and hatred, this time led by Sarah Palin and John McCain.
It is the responsibility of the media to reveal truth, and NOT further fan the flames of an increasingly volatile situation. Not only has Palin successfully affixed a bulls-eye on Obama, she also is putting the press in great danger by stirring angry crowds.
This is a frightening situation in the face of a serious economic crisis. And, where is the “great leader” McCain? Along for the thrill-ride!
Out of concern for the safety of your reporters and the public at large, PLEASE refuse to report on Palin’s campaign rallies. Her untruths and her vitriol do NOT deserve your attention!
Also, in reporting about this, please do not further incite the situation. Please report as clearly and responsibly as possible. Palin does not speak facts. We need to learn them from you.
This is not “kitchen sink” campaigning; this is hate-filled and intentionally polarizing rhetoric. Please, let us not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Maybe if you people watched McCain/Palin talk you would see that they are talking about the ecomony. Actually I haven’t heard Obama/Biden talk much about the ecomony, or how they plan on paying for giving 95% of the tax payers a tax break in this economy. I do feel that Barack Huessin Obama’s character should be questioned and I don’t see anybody questioning his qualifications to be President, his campaign would rather question the qualifications of Sarah Palin the bottom of the other ticket. What about his attachment to ACORN? PEOPLE WAKE UP, Barack Obama has absolutely no qualifications except to run for an office and THAT’S IT!

I find it interesting that these people keep bringing up this Alaska thing for Palin but fail to mention the bill that Obama and Biden signed a while back which would of gave the ok for Hawaii to leave the union. Face it guys Obama/Biden are much more kooky than McCain/Palin…no matter what things you spin. Also, I havent heard Obama talk much about how hes going to “save the nation” like the media thinks hes going to do. What is his idea for the economy? Also, the media FINALY covers ole Bill Ahers and its in a negative light to the republicans and not to Obama…WEIRD!

You wont see the reports of Palin and McCain talking about the economy here. You need to go to other news agencies to see it. You also wont find the information on Obama and his terrorist friends and campain manager here. You need to see other news reports elsewhere.

Sarah Palin ended her debate last Thursday with a quote from Ronald Reagan about how, if we aren’t vigilant, we’ll end up “telling our children and our children’s children” about the days when America was free.
Only Reagan wasn’t warning about Soviet aggression or terrorism. He was warning against legislation that would guarantee health care for older Americans – the program known as Medicare.
Now McCain is going after Medicare as well. McCain wants to pay for his health plan with MAJOR reductions to Medicare in a move that independent analysts estimate could result in cuts of $1.3 TRILLION.

Okay, Obama is a lawyer and Biden is a lawyer. Isn’t it the lawyers that messed this whole country up in the first place, including all the ones we have there now in office? That’s the single least trusted profession in the country according to polls for the last 10 years, and yet we have naive people all over the country thinking (it’s a miracle – they are going to tell the truth now?). Just because they say they will do something – DOESN’T mean they will! They get paid high salaries to lie professionally and twist words so you can’t understand what they are saying. Then they deceive people into thinking they sound so intelligent, so they get elected. WOW – That’s really what we need in office right now. What a JOKE! Let’s see a list of how they have ever helped you. But please start by listing the Bill you got from them. They are good at taking your money – just where they belong – in Washington. People wake up!

You may want to read excerpt from September 30th 1999 NY Times article before you tie Republicans to economic crisis!!
Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending
By STEVEN A. HOLMES
ln a move that could help increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers, the Fannie Mae
Corporation is easing the credit requirements on loans that it will purchase from banks and other lenders.
The action, which will begin as a pilot program involving 24 banks in 15 markets — including the New York
metropolitan region — will encourage those banks to extend home mortgages to individuals whose credit is generally not good enough to qualify for conventional loans. Fannie Mae officials say they hope to make it a nationwide program by next spring.
Fannie Mae, the nation’s biggest underwriter of home mortgages, has been under increasing pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans among low and moderate income people and felt pressure from stock holders to maintain its phenomenal growth in profits.
Better to do your homework and show some balanced reporting. I have not seen a reprint of this article anywhere in the media, but it is certainly circulating amongst taxpayers!

This woman is a nut case.I will be my last dollar McCain is now wishing he had never put her on this ticket.He won’t admit it but baby you can bet on it.
What are they thinking.They have lost this race so now they want to ruin what is left of this country,,, …….

It’s amazing how the democrats have yelled for the last two decades that Hey Geo, you wrote: Republicans were using fear tactics (terrorists, etc.) to win elections, and here we are in this campaign, all we hear from Obama is “fear tactics” – trying to scare people into believing that if we vote for McCain, it will be another 4 years of the Bush admininstration. Hypocrasy…
This is reality, not hypocrisy. And these aren’t scare tactics, it’s the cold hard truth. The Dems don’t have to “try” to scare anyone with a ’4 more years’mantra. As you can see by the polls, most people aren’t willing to go down that GOP road again.

I urge all voters to GOOGLE “Khlaid Al-Mansour’s connection with Obama” and then decide whether you could possibly vote for Obama!!!!!!!!!

Sandra Johanson,
Pointing out that McCain will simply be four more years of Bush is not scare tactics. It is called telling the truth. The fact that McCain will indeed be like Bush is a scary thought…but it is the truth.

”I wonder why ABC isn’t reporting this story. It’s all over the web. At least with the Internet we can see stories that major networks ‘censor’ from the voters.”
Mary,you mean like the 13 minute web video about your ”honorable POW hero” McBush’s ties to The Keating Five scandal? This is all over the web too. Maybe you need to read instead of posting talking points.

Blame the media, spread propaganda, attack opponents, denounce intellectuals, spread fear of foreigners and minorities, etc..And strike when fear is high amongst the citizenry (economic failure, and crippling foreign policy)….Many Republicans come dangerously close to this…All that is really missing is the outright bigotry and racism, though I suspect for many it lingers just under the surface.

Who the hell cares about Ayers. It is the economy and as long as Ayers has not committed a single murder and has not succeeded in hurting the US, he can be the pope for all I care. Palin does not have average intelligence but a good parrot and so don’t waste time in quoting her.

But they did have a choice. They could have taken the high-road and focused on real issues instead of resorting to dirty politics and character assassination. Maybe McCain would loose the election, but at least he would have been able to walk away with his honor and integrity relatively intact.
However, I believe McCain is now willing to sacrifice both of those qualities in a final attempt to become president. And if I had the opportunity to speak to him in person, I would look him directly in the eye and say it right to his face.

Geo said: They get paid high salaries to lie professionally and twist words so you can’t understand what they are saying.
Just because you can’t understand what they’re saying doesn’t mean you should stop thinking intelligently in this election. Look it up, use a dictionary. You’re basically admitting that you are not intelligent. That is no way to prove your point.

well i guess it is ok to support people who shoot doctors and blow up abortion clinics in the name of PRo Life.
NOT ONLY IS THEI THE RNC AS A WHOLE IT IS ALSO JOHN SIDNEY MCCAIN.
He one of his delegates at the conventionthis year, supported and praised a woman convicted of shootign a doctor at anabortion clinic in both arms. the judge in the case however, stated that this lady due to her actions deserved the label DOMESTIC TERRORIST.
LOOK IT UP.
MCCAIN AND DOMESTIC TERRORISM
BUT I GUES SINCE IT WAS AN ABORTION CLINIC THE RNC THINKS THAT IS OK.

palin should be investigated for refering to obama as a terrorist. ten years ago nobody would of paid any attention to someone as stupid as palin. in today’s world an accusation of that nature made by someone who is on the political ticket to be v.p. needs to be responssible for what they say. she is a dangerous nasty viciously foul creature. if something happens to obama because of her race baiting and inciting the morons she needs to be held responsible. what she and mccain are doing ruins the elelction process. whatever happened to fair play and integrity. mccain and palin have gone to far. palin is committing political suicide. for what? mccain? more horribly bad judgement on her part. and what about that ghoul todd palin lurking around in the background of all her photos. doesn’t he have a life? who is taking care of the kids? it is just to wierd. these people are not normal.

I think McCain is past his prime. Way past his prime. At one debate, he invoked he glory of storming the beach at Normandy. At each debate, he opened by sending regards to “elder statesman” and their health crises (Kennedy, Nancy Reagan). Now we’re back with Cold War rhetoric about “socialism.”
Though acknowledging those colleagues having health problems is an honorable gesture, the whole pattern that emerges is a McCain who thinks like an old man fading out. His frame of reference seems to be not the 21st century but the concerns of the mid-20th century. And, he has shifted into retrospective, “closure” mode.
