Dancing in the End Zone

McCain has to defend AZ…I love it!

If you have any doubt what phony, hypocrisy is, you simply just look at 0bama.
On one hand, he lectures his subsidiaries selfishness, charity, contribution to the common good of the society.
On the other hand, he panders his blind followers by bribery, cash giveaways, $1000 if you vote for him.
He promises to take care of you, giving you opportunities to get into the middle class; yet, he leaves his own brother in poverty at $1 per month in his homeland, his aunt on the streets of Boston.
Mr. Bush answers the call of a Higher Father and you know what he has done in the past 8 years.
Mr. 0bama has his own Higher Father, and he is Karl Marx. Do you really want to find out what he will do answering those calls?

McCain has to defend AZ…I love it!

Obama/Biden 08

Excuse me, but how could this be categorized as “dancing in the endzone”? It’s been pretty clear throughout this election cycle what Tapper’s agenda is.

So Jake, what do you think of Senator Government purging his traveling press corp of any dissenters?
***************************************
Four days to go. I Think he wants positive press. Look Dallas Morning news? He can”t win in TX; why does he need press coverage in TX.?
Smart move on his part allowing press where he needs it.

So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs.”
In Alaska, residents pay no income tax or state sales tax. They receive a yearly dividend check from a $30 billion state investment account built largely from royalties on its oil. When home fuel and gas costs soared last year, Palin raised taxes on big oil and used some of the money to boost residents’ checks by $1,200. Thus every eligible man, woman and child got a record $3,269 this fall.
“And Alaska we’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs.”

Many a dancer has been called back from the end zone because of fouls at the line of scrimmage.
There is a decent chance that if the Obama campaign money trail is followed by the DOJ, Joe Biden will be the President within two years.
A gaffe a minute…

I was a Barack Obama supporter, but it’s not hard when you reject public finance and raise unlimited private campaign contributions. It’s easy, it’s easy to sell out the White House to foreign powers for campaign funds. It’s well documented that tens of millions of Sen. Obama’s total haul comes from Hamas and Hezbolla in addition to hundres and millions from special interests, domestic and abroad, under the guise of multiple contributions under $200 which the government doesn’t regulate, and they deliberately make it un-traceable by disabling standard credit card security measures that even every online merchant uses. Sen. Obama’s Koo-Aid defenders will say, oh, Sen. Obama doesn’t even know these people, how can you insinuate that Sen. Obama is selling out? yeah, right, a special interest is going to make a $10M anonymous contribution. They will say, oh this type of stuff happens. He deliverately disabled address-verification, which every online merchant uses. They will say, oh Sen. McCain has the same problems. Sen. McCain has taken public campaign finance, so nevermind the illegal contributions, he hasn’t even taken any legal contributions, not one dime, not one nickle for not one person, not one organization, and not one corporation. It’s not hard, who doesn’t know how to sell out the White House?

Obama does not have to defend in states that have lost hope in our country. It is easy to give false hope to the desperate. The Red states have higher unemployment, higher default rates on mortgages, higher high school drop out rates, higher state budget overruns. The list goes on for the people he is catering.

Always stirring the pot, huh Jake?
It’s not dancing in the endzone, it’s playing OFFENSE.
Why is that a problem?
P.S. To all the folks taking time out of their lives to spread lies about Senator Obama – I’m going to pray for you.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen a presidential campaign which has repeatedly sought criminal prosecution of its critics. Is this what a possible Barry win will mean to America?

CrystalD: “first time I’ve ever seen a presidential campaign which has repeatedly sought criminal prosecution of its critics.”
Are you kidding? Have you really never heard of Karl Rove?

It’s not a dance in the end zone… it is called being scrupulously careful.
The last two elections, Democrats have lost on technicalities and glitches.
I cannot blame Obama for trying to win every vote that he can possibly win, in every state that he has a chance.
Plus, Obama wants to represent all Americans (not just the “real” Americans, as the Republicans like to call themselves)… so it makes sense that he would want to win in Arizona.
The more votes he has, the better he will be able to lead.
Ang given the fact that Republicans are already planning on impeaching him if he is elected… this broad base of support is going to be twice as important.

I find it amazing just how many conservatives can continue to only spout the crap that the Republican’s are putting out. It is a testimony to the average conservatives inability to think for themselves, or to do any research (of course they would have to be able to read first).
All of the intellectual Republicans have left the party and endorsed Obama.
Thank goodness that at least they see the light and have the moral sense of responsibility to America to come out and say it.

It’s just a matter of time when the majority of states will be BLUE due to shifting population and the fact that people like me, a latin male along with all people of color and the young “critical” thinkers will become the majority voting block in this country. Because of the changing demographic, I predict within ten to twenty years, Democrats will have an easier time winning elections which should cause the GOP concern.

I’m not surprised at Arizona’s recent polls. Recent polls also say that about 60% of the US feels Palin isn’t qualified as “Vice” President. Many Republicans including close McCain advisors and high level McCain campaign staff admit Palin isn’t qualified. The United States of America is too important to risk our future to Palin.

The fact that Obama is actually competitive in these states should make you repubs sit down hard. Whine all you want about how unfair it is that Obama built a fundraising juggernaut out of millions of small donors which dwarfs your GOP fat cat machine. Organized populism cannot be defeated. Get used to it.

Brilliant move on the Obama Camp…let them use resources in states that they shouldn’t at this point. So, no it’s not dancing in the end zone, it’s call prevent.

To Joe the Voter
Polls indicate trends. The more polls out there that indicate the same trend in this case Obama is ahead is a big deal. I am still cautious and not over confident, something can still go wrong but the polls do favor Obama. Sorry.
Average Joe

To the Obamacrat for McCain…rejecting public financing has allowed Obama to raise more than the RNC has for McCain. Had he accepted public financing, McCain and the RNC would have had a huge advantage. It’s insane that you say you supported Obama but now are voting against him because of public financing. Republicans have always been against public financing until a Democrat who was better at fundraising than anyone in history came along to make them scared.

I have waited all 47 years of my life for the complete annhilation, destruction and marginalization of the evil/racist/selfish/amoral republican party…….Obama taking AZ would be SWEETNESS!!!!!!! On to TUESDAY!!!!

Looks like Obama’s aunt is struggling a bit in the Boston slums…so why has he not provided her some assistance. WHy isn’t he spreading the wealth with his money or is he waiting for yours – the middle class starting at $150,000.

My new screen name says it all. The McCain/Palin/Joe the Plumber campaign is a joke. I liked the three stooges, but this is real.

Obamacrat: You are a fraud. I was for Obama, blah blah blah .
People are too funny on here. I have been laughing my butt off at the comments.

Hope over fear–Its our time to choose the “better” future

Tom Barranger…
I keep seeing your spam… so I finally read it.
You say that Michelle Obama cannot “get over it.” But you are the one who cannot get over it.
Obama has put together a diverse group of advisors with sterling credentials. He did not cherry-pick his advisors to reflect a racial bias… he picked the most talented and competent people in America.
So, if he ever had a problem to begin with, he is clearly over it. Plus, he was raised by his mother and grandparents… who he loves very dearly.
Meanwhile, you are copying and pasting bizarre, out of context, and fudged quotations from some supposed undergraduate paper, which may or may not exist… written by someone who you claim is Michelle Obama… to prove that she is too black for America.
She doesn’t need to get over anything… You need to get over it.

Terry,
Did you get that auntie story from Faux News.
Please change the channel.

Maybe the folks in Arizona just wanna keep McCain as their senator……Is anything wrong with that?
Why should they lose their long held senator friend? If he becomes president, then Arizona citizens may start crying ’cause they would have to pick a brand new untested senator….
They probably just want McCain to stay there….that’s all folks.

Talk about your full facial. For the coup de grace someone ought to stick an Obama sign on the old man’s lawn.

Many things can happen. Earthquakes in Texas for example.

To Tom Barranger,
With all due respect Tom, America was indeed founded on HATE and Discrimination. Do you remember your history. Today, there is still alot of hate, anger, and discriminaton out there. I am sorry that the truth hurts but get out from beneath your rock and start paying attention to what is happening in this country!
As Sara Palin would say, ALSO, you should be happy that your tax dollars are assisting Americans with their education. Gee, what is a person to do, especially those people of color, we criticize them for being lazy then when they become successful thinking people, we criticize them again for not agreeing with us!
Joe

I am experiencing poll fatigue. National polls show race tightening, state polls show the electoral map a landslide. Good luck Obama.

Why Tito the Builder Doesn’t Want Socialism
Well, I’m going to tell you why I don’t want it. Because — because what they want to do is they want to keep you down there on the bottom so they could stay — they could stay on the top. By giving you people crumbs over there, they pretend that they’re going to be OK. OK, little guy. You know, little poor guy, you stay down there, and we throw you something. And that something is going to keep you happy, and then you don’t question — you don’t questions what associations do I have? What philosophy do I have?
And the life could be better for you. It could be even better for somebody else. That’s what they want to do to you. They want to keep you all the way down there so they continue the power.
Maybe Tito The Builder didn’t go to Harvard but he understands what socialism does to you.

* They don’t remember stealing the land from the Native Americans. They don’t remember forcing Africans into slavery and treating them as property. They don’t remember the past 8 years~> They will remember November 4th though

“To all the folks taking time out of their lives to spread lies about Senator Obama – I’m going to pray for you.”
Please do. And those of us who see what Obama is about by seeing through his lies about his plans for the economy will be praying for the nation to be protected from your folly.

when will conservatives realize they’ve been controlling the gov’t 20 out of the past 28 years?
They say Obama is another Bush.. then why did the conservative party pick Bush anyways? it doesn’t make sense.. its a sick case of irony
But Obama didn’t vote w/ President Bush 90% of the time– McCain did! Now look whats happend?
Yes we can
Yes we are
Yes will
and on Nov. 5th.. yes we did!
Obama/Biden 2008

jock59801
Keep in mind that we are a country still in it’s infancy stage. Unlike European countries, we have not been around for centuries. Just evaluate where they are politically. They voting populations are more liberal than they are conservative. Americans just like the Eurpeans will begin demanding that their government work for them by providing them with the goods and services they NEED otherwise the politicians are voted out of office.

In Alaska, residents pay no income tax or state sales tax. They receive a yearly dividend check from a $30 billion state investment account built largely from royalties on its oil.

** Sounds like welfare to me

“She has not asked for it and she does not want it.”
Just like the middle class didn’t ask for Obama to spread the welth huh? Joe the plumber does not want Obama’s so-called tax cut.

Rob, don’t worry too much about what Republicans think.
When Bill Clinton was running… remember all the stories they cooked up about him
All of it lies. They do this to every Democrat. The sad thing is, it ultimately led to Clinton’s impeachment… and it was a major distraction from the day to day business of keeping the country safe.
We can only hope that the GOP will show class and dignity if they lose.

Goldwater won Arizona by only a small margin as did Mondale Minnesota in 1984. McGovern lost South Dakota in 1972 and Gore lost Tennessee in 2000. The most damaging was probably Gore’s loss of Tennessee as he would have been President if he won and the who Florida recount fiasco would have been unnecessary. All the others lost in a landslide. There was a poll out today that had McCain ahead 48 to 47 per cent and it looks like momentum is going toward Obama.

Joe the plumber is a joke! He is another desperate attempt by the McCain campaign to give everyone a visual of the working MAN. INow, I understand he wants to run for congress or he wants to be a singer,,,what a joke! If people actually buy this nonsense, shame on you for not putting your economic interest first. We suffered long enough under Bush and Repub economic policies. TIME FOR A SMART MAN TO RUN OUR COUNTRY!!!

Gee Evill,
Keep dreaming buddy.
McCain is toast.
Its Over.

geevill
The Republicans have been promising tax cuts as their central mantra in elections for decades. Now it is somehow bad when Obama does it?

Giving money to people who don’t pay isn’t a tax cut it is welfare.

GEORGE BUSH IS MCCAINS TOP ADVISOR !
Can you say PUPPET ? 4 More Years of The Same !

To be elected on Nov. 4th, McCain-Palin are counting on the WIN factor:
- the Weak-of-mind
- the Ignoramus
- the Nincompoops
Truly, the only people who would RATIONALLY vote for the Repugnicans are the wealthy and the obscenely rich, that is, the only beneficiaries of Bush-McCain type economic policies.

Gallup has an Obama blowout today:
RV: Obama +11
LV I: Obama +9
LV II: Obama +8
ABC uses the tradional model (lv II there) and has been showing a 7-8 point race for a week. Looks like gallup agrees.

Breaking News: CNN): — “Two men have been arrested in connection with an effigy of Sen. Barack Obama that was hung outside a building at the University of Kentucky in Lexington,
Contrast with Palin Effigy:
From the La Times:
“Offensive as it may be, the Palin doll — outfitted with beehive wig, glasses and a vintage Neiman Marcus red coat dress — appears to violate no law, said officials of the Secret Service, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and the West Hollywood city Code Enforcement Division.
“The sheriff made this clear: This is a country that has freedom of speech, and we protect that right even when we think it’s idiotic and stupid and in bad taste,” said Steve Whitmore, spokesman for the Sheriff’s Department.
“If it is nonviolent and doesn’t cause any problems, then they have the right to do it.”
FemiSex to readers: Please note that no pictures are posted by the news media of the Obama effigy, but every story posted on Palin effigy came replete with pictures. NO ARREST WAS MADE in the Palin effigy. No statement from Mr. Whitmore about the opening wounds of violence done to females in the longs history of violence agaisnt females in the USA. (Psst, perhaps rape victims magically forget the crimes committed against them, the fingers grasping at their throats, psst Mr. Whitmore take note, violence was done here! Psst, Mr. Whitemore, would you dare say the same if you were dealing with Obama effigy? No Harm No Foul only poor taste? )
Femisex deplores Both effigies But…Now it the Time for women to make the Palin effigy their primary cause. Women need to put violence against women at the top of their agenda until this societal ill recedes! Now is the time to remind folks like Steve Whitemore that violence against women, unlike violence against blacks, has not precipitously declined. Hundreds of thousands of rapes in the U.S. every year are perpetrated against women. Domestic violence pock-marks American culture. NOW is the Time to focus on Female HATE CRIMES.
I leave you all with the nice-told tale of violence against women—a Long Island husband arrested this week for garroting his wife and then crying sadly before the cameras in a plea to help find the “killers.”

Giving money to people who don’t pay isn’t a tax cut it is welfare.
————-
So what is giving $5000 in health care credits then?

Where are “Other” member’s of HIS family? Not his wife or kids, but “FAMILY” Uncles, Auntie’s, cousins Anyone? Just seems a little too closed in the extended family department…..Unless, they KNOW something, we should. Like before Tuesday?!?!?!
—————————
I think they are the ones hiding Palin’s medical records

I’m Arizona Proud & We don’t like Obama
It appears half your state does. How sad is it when you could possibly lose your own state?

Obama’s campaign is a well oiled machine. They’ve taken nothing for granted.
There’s been some chatter about the papers being kicked off the plane, well that was done to make room for chicago papers. The three papers that were kicked off the plane had not been with the campaign the entire time. For those who say they were kicked off because they endorsed McCain can ask themselves why hasn’t the Obama campaign kicked off the Wall Street Journal?
Your silence is golden!
I hope the polls are true!

So Jake, what do you think of Senator Government purging his traveling press corp of any dissenters?
—————
You mean like McCain did two weeks ago along with Gov Nitwit?

Dancing in the end zone? Nothing is guaranteed Tapper. If there’s a chance to win a state you campaign there. McCain is only up by 1 or 2 points in Arizona. This is sheer biased coverage. Bush campaigned in Tennessee against Gore. I see no difference. You try to win everywhere nothing is guaranteed.

I would love to see Obama take Arizona. Call it payback for McCain’s filthy campaign.

Why is this “Dancing in the End Zone?” A new state turns out to be in play and Obama decides to campaign there. As everyone agrees, he can’t take anything for granted.
Should he NOT try to win the election because it might hurt McCain’s feelings? I don’t understand the point of this at all.
I will assume and hope that “Dancing in the End Zone” didn’t come from a neagtive mental image of what those black athletes do.

In the long run, where Obama or McCain run ads is not what matters. The economy will decide this election. Millions have been or are in the process of being land off. Retirees have lost Two Trillion in value in retirement funds. People have lost homes, health care, pensions, the ability to afford to send children to college/higher education. And meanwhile, CEO’s have gotten hundreds of millions for leading their corporations into bankruptcy. According the the UK Guardian there are 70 Billion in bonuses scheduled for this year, many for bailed out companies. McCain adviser Carly Fiorina (the one who said we should let American auto makers go bankrupt) got a 40 million dollar parachute for doing little more than laying off thousands. McCain’s campaign people are almost all former lobbyists or CEOs for the very corporations which stabbed the middle class in the back. Whether or not so-and-so advertists in such-and-such a state is not the issue. The issue is that Bush-Cheney, McCain-Gramm promoted the “let the rich get richer and the middle class get jobless” philosopy which is killing us all. We need someone who cares for the Middle Class, and that someone is Barack Obama.

Sorry msa123, did you say something?

McCain defends AZ, even if Obama loses AZ, it is a very strong statement to come close in his opponents home state. I think the Dems will win it all this year because the other side has no plan. Ive been trying to play devils advocate, sit on both sides, but the GOP makes it very hard to come to their side. We are not “real americans”, their supporters openly attack both us and Obama, some want to see harm come to them or us. And what is with all this Socialist talk? You people don’t even know what socialism is. Im an economics major, I should know. And no one has defined it properly, you guys sound so ignorant. AND, you Repugs keep acting as if youre going to move away if Obama gets elected. YOu say things like, “I hope this whole counrtry falls apart so you can see the mistake you made.” Excuse me, most likely you’ll still be here too, suffering just as much. Stop pretending that you’re so nonchalant about Obama winning, and actually come up with solutions. Like please explain to me McCains tax plan. He attacks Obama on it 24/7, yet has given no specifics of his own. That is his partys downfall.Every election, they smear their opponent, and it usually works. But this year….
Nov. 4 will be a day that lives in glory.
OBAMA ’08 !!!

Why would Republicans organize to decieve pollsters? It seems like a waste of energy, time, and resources.
Especially since many people base their decision to participate in GOTV campaigns on the likelihood that it will have an impact.
Skewing the polls by lying to pollsters is more likely to cost McCain votes… especially since positive poll numbers has given Obama an enormous boost in visibility and fundraising.
I suppose at sme level, there might be some satisfaction, on an individual level of sticking it to the pollster… On a larger scale… such deceptions hurt your candidates from the top of the ticket all the way to the bottom.
From a strictly partisan perspective… I say… do whatever you can to sabotage McCain in the press. The more the GOP does this, the less tempted Democrats will be to even try. (Which preserves Obama’s net favorable rating, to boot).
But from a purely rational perspective… I cannot understand why someone would do this. It sounds more to me like a lie.

Ever wondered what the real meaning of GOP is???
It is a coalition of:
- the GULLIBLE (i.e., the religious right, the Moral Majority, and other so-called “values voters”).
- the OBNOXIOUS (i.e., the Neocons, the Bush, Cheney, McCain and Palin types).
- the PARASITES (i.e., the greedy/filthy rich, whose speculative abuses we are all now paying for).
Just in case you wondered…

Obama is a narcissistic egomaniac. The race is drawing closer and closer and he is thunbs his nose at the GOP. Well, I think he is in for a rude awakening come Nov.4th.

Really people do you want to base how
someone is going to run the country on
how they run their campaign??
========================================
How a candidate conducts his campaign is a good indication of character and leadership. Obama has shown both. McCain has not. Simple fact.

And for the love of God will you stop pretending that race has nothing to do with your life decisions. Why did it take so long for a party to nominate a black president? The GOP supporters are looking for anything to indicate a racial bias, then indict Obama with the “evidence”. I’ve got news for you. Race was a part of this election before Obama got in it. The voters have racial preferences, and there is nothing wrong with that IMHO. But to turn it around on a black person who is trying to do something great with their lives; this is just disgusting. It seems more like you are looking for a reason not to like the man OTHER than his race. I again personally have no problem with that. What you personally belive is up to you, im not trying to change your mind about black people. But to pretend that every person in this country is totally neutral on this issue, to scoff as Rush Limbaugh so obesely said of the Powell endorsement “it was all about race!” No, it was about stick it to Bush and the GOP. Anyways, why can’t you have racial preferences. We already do it. If you’re white most likely you like to hang around other whites. It doesn’t make you racist, thats just the way things work. And yet, the Republican supporters are so proud of what they have accomplished, Whites and Blacks are equal, have similiar SocioEconomic statuses, and we all enjoy how you dress up stuffed monkeys with Obama bumper stickers. It is this hypocrisy that is losing you this election. Maybe in a decade or so we can revisit this race issue and the ignorant populace out there will have evolved. But probably not

Haha this is too funny. The polls are getting tighter and tighter, and Obama’s lead is dwindling away….by Monday there will be no lead at all, and by Tuesday obama is behind…Obamba=LOSER

Ran the campaign on donations. Will run the country on Increased Taxes. Yup, we will thrive.

“The polls are getting tighter and tighter, and Obama’s lead is dwindling away”
Obama leads all the national tracking polls by 4 pts to 11 pts.
He leads every swing state many by double digits.
He is destroying McCain in the electoral college and is even putting ads up in McCain’s homestate of Arizona.

Paul Wall | Oct 31, 2008 2:02:27 PM……You probably already know this; but, the reason for the article is to disillusion you(and others) so you will not vote.

- END THE BUSH YEARS DISASTER – VOTE FOR CHANGE – 2008

I love this: Yes we can
Yes we are
Yes we will
On Nov 5th – Yes we did!

Remember this Obama nation. The expectations of today and the realities of tomorrow are never the same.
Expect everyone to pay higher taxes, no rebate for the 95%, even if he does nothing in 2010 taxes will return to the Bill Clinton levels. This administration will be a return to the days of Jimmy Carter.
In an interview with a Colorado radio station, Obama appeared to be engaged already in expectation lowering. Asked about his goals for the first hundred days, he said he would need more time to tackle such big and costly issues as health care reform, global warming and Iraq.
“The first hundred days is going to be important, but it’s probably going to be the first thousand days that makes the difference,” he said. He has also been reminding crowds in recent days how “hard” it will be to achieve his goals, and that it will take time.
“I won’t stand here and pretend that any of this will be easy — especially now,” Obama told a rally in Sarasota, Florida, yesterday, citing “the cost of this economic crisis, and the cost of the war in Iraq.” Obama’s transition team is headed by John Podesta, a Washington veteran and a former chief-of-staff to Bill Clinton. He has spent months overseeing a virtual Democratic government-in-exile to plan a smooth transition should Obama emerge victorious next week.
In short we will take the all holy one nearly 3 years to bring about the prosperity he has been promising.
It’s off to work I go, so I can pay the taxes I owe….

I bet McCain wishes he could have picked Joe the Plumber for his running mate. He’s the most popular Republican in the country right now. “Palin/Joe the Plumber in 2012″ I shouldn’t joke. They’d probably win.

I, a disillusioned former democrat and Hillary supporter, voted for the authentic reformers and America’s only hope in this election! McCain/Palin 08 :)
This race illuminates the absolute ascendance of the perception that money will buy you anything if you have enough of it. :(
Since when does inexperience, lack of accomplishments or security clearance for many US jobs qualify one for POTUS?

To MarineInVA
Yeah the press said all this about Kerry in 2004 and Kerry still lost. Agreed. But the difference between 2004 and 2008 – folks are darn broke! they’ll think pretty hard about going with their prejudices and instead, go with their heads.

In Arizona, even some Democrats want McCain to win. If McCain wins the presidency, the democratic governor of Arizona will get to appoint someone to finish out McCain’s senate term – and with close elections for senate seats nationwide, it would be an easy-in for a new democratic senator.

Obama is also spending $$ in CA (solid Obama state) and TX (solid McCain state).
Why? Because he can.
Just something to think about should he become our Prez…

Vote Obama for a better more dignified America and a safer more peaceful world!
Vote McCain if you want more war!
I will be voting for Obama. I hope you will vote for peace as well.
Happy Halloween to everyone -> Keep the kids safe, they are our future!

After Obama wins on Tuesday I’ll be proud to be an American again. I’ve been ashamed of my country for the past eight years and there are millions just like me

Sprint213-
Do you really think all these issues can be resolved in the first 100 days? Do you think that people who support Obama think that? Yes, it will take 3 years to realize some of the things Obama wants to do – probably longer for quite a bit of things. The issues we face will NOT be resolved overnight no matter WHO is elected. I’m happy that he can be honest about it. Obama 08′
To some other posters – I agree, the headline is inappropriate and inflammatory – VERY poor choice ABC…

Again with Khalidi? Didn’t we already find out that McCain donated MORE money to this “terrorist”? While we’re on the subject, why does every Obama hater think they are a top notch terrorist investigator? Oh, I found out that Obama shared some oxygen with Mr. XXX, and in my many years of uncovering terrorist cells in the US, this constitutes treason. Thats what you keep saying, over and over. He knows this guy, that guy, black panthers this, ACORN that. Can we ever stop? Is that really important to you? Are we going to squabble over associations and donations while the economy takes a nosedive? McCain doesn’t care about that. Cindy McCain is sitting on a tenth of a BILLION dollars, from a business she didn’t start and doesn’t currently oversee. They just pick up the checks while Americans drink themselves to death over the state of the nation. I wish someone would just say “I don’t care for blacks, so I’m not voting Obama. Period. People are getting involved with this election on an unprecedented level. Yet some keep pretending that all these other issues matter, things they would have never researched in all the past elections they have been alive for. Whats so different about the canindates now? Hmmm, I wonder… Thats the point. I am not shocked at all that people came out against democrats, thats been going on for years. But its a smoke screen used by conservatives who, for some reason, do not want to admit a racial preference. You know why you don’t like him, and we know the truth as well. This charade is frustrating, but at least it is exposing many people for what they really think.

Here is just one example of McCains explosive temper.
Celebrating His First Senate Election In 1986, Sen. McCain Screamed At And Harassed A Young Republican Volunteer. “It was election night 1986, and John McCain had just been elected to the U.S. Senate for the first time. Even so, he was not in a good mood. McCain was yelling at the top of his lungs and poking the chest of a young Republican volunteer who had set up a lectern that was too tall for the 5-foot-9 politician to be seen to advantage, according to a witness to the outburst. ‘Here this poor guy is thinking he has done a good job, and he gets a new butt ripped because McCain didn’t look good on television,’ Jon Hinz told a reporter Thursday. At the time, Hinz was executive director of the Arizona Republican Party. … Hinz said McCain’s treatment of the young campaign worker in 1986 troubled him for years. ‘There were an awful lot of people in the room,’ Hinz recalled. ‘You’d have to stick cotton in your ears not to hear it. He (McCain) was screaming at him, and he was red in the face. It wasn’t right, and I was very upset at him.’” (Kris Mayes and Charles Kelly, “Stories Surface On Senator’s Demeanor,” The Arizona
Republic, 11/5/99)

This temper fit by McCain happenned with Strom Thurmond.
In 1995, Sen. McCain Had A “Scuffle” With 92-Year-Old Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC) On The Senate Floor. “In January 1995, McCain was midway through an opening statement at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing when chairman Strom Thurmond asked, ‘Is the senator about through?’ McCain glared at Thurmond, thanked him for his ‘courtesy’ (translation: buzz off), and continued on. McCain later confronted Thurmond on the Senate floor. A scuffle ensued, and the two didn’t part friends.” (Harry Jaffe, “Senator Hothead,” The Washingtonian, 2/97)

Sarah Palin is a liar. A week ago she promised to release her medical records to the media. She still has not done so. What are you hiding Sarah?

I have three questions for all of you Obama supporters.
1) What is the income threshold for the higher taxes Obama is proposing?
a) $250,000
b) $200,000
c) $150,000
d) $120,000
2) Is Obama talking about net or gross income?
3) Is Obama talking about individual or family income?
I am really confused about this. I thought the $250,000 figure was pretty reasonable. Now that it looks like the threshold income has gone down to $120,000 that would definitely hurt me. I am a small business owner and I would have to lay off some of my staff if the threshold went much below $150,000. I would appreciate an answer as I have not voted yet and if the figure is really $120,000, I will have to vote for McCain even though I have been a life time Democrat.

From a poster on The Confluence..
“Did anyone already post the breaking news that a former ACORN employee testified in PA today, exposing rampant fraud, non-existent quality control, and on-going communications with the Obama campaign? The AP has picked the story up, and Frank Lund of the WSJ spent an extensive amount of time with her. He will be putting out an article asap. She was fired for using an ACORN credit card for expenses, so they will try to discredit her, but apparently it was powerful testimony and it could reveal that the Obama Campaign has been actively working with ACORN and lying about it.”

Been getting nasty mccain robo-calls in AZ for the last 3 days… desperation drips from each lie and out of context sound bite. Those who fear Obama…and some of the comments here are pretty fearful (or trying to instill fear in others?)…try to restrain yourselves. You’ve so far survived the damage done to our Constitution, Bill of Rights, privacy, economy, environment & world reputation in the last almost 8 years. At this point, we’re done with the politics of fear and personal destruction. It’s time for change. We’re going to reunite this country and move forward. Get on board or get out of the way.

Frankly, i really don’t care what any of the tax “thresholds” are. I have never voted for President based on what was in it for me.

Barry:
Where is this article? That is great news! Finally call this man out!

Think
I recall Jackson’s efforts at getting American hostages released as being a GOOD thing. Do you not?
As for Farrakhan, he has in fact done many great things for the black community. Obama has repudiated his anti-Semitic rhetoric, but does not believe in rejecting a person’s good works just because they may have done things wrong in the past.

“Dancing in the End Zone” — Jake Tapper
————————
It’s quite apparent that Jake Tapper is either
(a) Doesn’t know much about the game of football and the meaning of “Dancing in the End Zone”
or
(b) Purposely used the term in an incorrect, negative way to manipulate readers’ views
First of all, if Jake Tapper ever watched a college/NFL football game, “Dancing in the End Zone” happens AFTER one team has SCORED A TOUCHDOWN.
In political term, a “touchdown” does NOT happen until NEXT TUESDAY!
So Mr. Tapper, how could you label the Obama’s ads in Arizona “Dancing in the End Zone”??
The election is NOT over yet!
The ads in Arizona is an offensive move, and if you want to use Football terms, that’s a BLITZ or a RUSH, and so on.
Mr. Tapper, you are insulting the intelligence of people like me who know about the game of football AND think critically.

Lanky Illinoisan & Loquacious Blue Hen 2008!

A vote for Obama is a vote for Bill Ayers and Rashid Khalidi.

If Obama wins everybody will lose.
He will detroy this great nation. He is aniamerican.

The What ‘IF;s’ on Obama & McCain- What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the stage, following the debate, including a three month-old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter? What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review? What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his college graduating class? What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was divorced? What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while he was still married? What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to pain killers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization? What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard? What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five?(The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s.) What if Obama couldn’t read from a teleprompter? What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes? What if Obama was the one who was known to publicly display a serious anger management problem? What if Michelle Obama’s family had made their money from beer distribution? You could easily add to this list. If these questions reflected a reality, if the tables were turned, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are? This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative characteristics in another when there is a color difference.

SuznAZ, Obama is the one who is into the politics of fear and personal destruction. Obama learned all of his fear and personal destruction techniques of campaigning from the well known communist, Alinsky and his book “Rules For Radicals” that Alinsky dedicated to Satan.
Further, Obama is not a uniter Obama is a divider. Nisra Poller reports that Obama has received millions of dollars of foreign money. Contributions from Gaza, a Hamas controlled camp … a million from Qaddafi and across the Muslim world. They are electioneering for him illegally in mosques across America including Unindicted co-conspirator and US front for the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR.
The media is withholding the evidence of Obama’s past. They refuse to publish the truth about Obama. The LA Times is Hiding Incriminating Video of Obama with Radical Palestinian. Khalidi, Ayers and Dohrn Obama will sell the US and Israel down the river.

I just want to see the video that the LA Times is holding back of Obama praising his pal Rashid Khalidi after he called for the destruction of Israel in an antisemitic hate speech.

A Vote for Obama is a vote Against the
Fascist Regime that has driven this country to it’s knees

A vote for Obama is a vote for Bill Ayers, Rashid Khalidi, Louis Farakkhan and Jeremiah Wright.
Wise up folks.

I have commented about this on other blog sites, this is not political,it is the way Senator Barack Obama has handle himself during his Campaign and during these intense character attack, because of the way he had handle himself, it had cause me to take a look at some of my situation I have incounter in life and my way of dealing with it, I truly believe he has changed the way I approach a lot of situation, I’m not so offensive about certain perceptions, so Senator Obama again I thank you.

I just want to see the video that the LA Times is holding back of Obama praising his pal Rashid Khalidi after he called for the destruction of Israel in an antisemitic hate speech.
Why is the LA Times covering up for Obama?
This video will really shock viewers. It is the side of Obama that he keeps hidden from voters.

The buzz words here are “on-going communications with Obama campaign”. It did not say on-going with Sen. Obama. I guess you’re holding Obama responsible for what hundreds of workers are doing illegally?

You are all fools, following a pied piper down to the river. There will be war; there will be times of good and bad economics. But we are a democracy built on capitalism. The backbone of our nation was built on Calvinistic values of hard work, not entitlement. My interpretation of Mr. Obama’s views is a message of entitlement. My father worked 3 jobs, never once excepting any assistance from the Government. I worked my way through university and climbed up the corporate ladder. I do not feel any of my hard earned cash should be distributed among those who choose not to take the risk or the opportunities to better themselves. They do not deserve my welfare. I donate substantially to charity three times a year and do not consider myself as a selfish person. I will vote for my children and for my grand children. I will vote for the candidate that is the best representation of American Values and will uphold the American Dream. And not the Candidate that will forge a nation of lazy bums.

If your interpretation of Mr. Obama’s views is a message of entitlement, then your interpretation of Mr. Obama’s views is wrong. He ALWAYS talks about people taking personal responsibility for their lives.

“By Tim Reid, The Times of London
Barack Obama’s senior advisers have drawn up plans to lower expectations for his presidency if he wins next week’s election, amid concerns that many of his euphoric supporters are harboring unrealistic hopes of what he can achieve.
The sudden financial crisis and the prospect of a deep and painful recession have increased the urgency inside the Obama team to bring people down to earth, after a campaign in which his soaring rhetoric and promises of “hope” and “change” are now confronted with the reality of a stricken economy.
One senior adviser told The Times that the first few weeks of the transition, immediately after the election, were critical, “so there’s not a vast mood swing from exhilaration and euphoria to despair.”
The aide said that Obama himself was the first to realize that expectations risked being inflated.”
You people are such blind fools…!…

stf== while your voting for your childern== you might want to check if there will be any clean air for them to breathe, or water fit to drink, becauce your pres Bushy is at this moment subverting as many enviromental regs as he can to enrich the
“SACRED REPUBCON CORP”

james== you really need to cut back on the Rust Limburger diet

Obama has absolutely no record of significance. America does not need “fundamental change” we need to rely on our constitution. That has what has gotten us this far. Yes things are bad now but it is just as much the Democrats faults. In the case of Fanni Mae/Freddie Mac stuff…even more so. Obama is a great speaker but that’s it. He’s proven already that he has no problem with lying and he never answers a direct question with a direct answer. Off teleprompter…he is quite unimpressive. If we elect this man. We deserve what we get. He is dangerous.

Shayla My son goes to Hofstra University and tells me the students vote there is pretty much even among McCain and Obama supporters. What do you think it is at your school. Honestly?

Bryan T , Thanks for the info. However, the latest figure I heard was $120,000 which is not represented in the calculator you referenced. Also…
——————
Hi ConcernedDemocrat,
You’re welcome.
About your comment of the $120,000, if you click on the Obama tax calculator, select the range of
$100,000-150,000
since 120,000 is within this range… You know this, right? (I’m sorry, but I find it hard to believe that you’re making 120,000/year and have trouble finding the 120k on that tax calculator.)
About your comment of small businesses will get ‘screwed by Obama’s tax’ — I highly doubt it. My family has a restaurant big enough for around 300 people. We’ve been in business for about 10 years, and our annual income is WELL BELOW the $250,000/year range! Under Obama’s plan, our tax will NOT go up (it will even go DOWN!)
So, I really don’t understand why you’re worrying that your tax will be increased when you make around $120,000?
And on further reading, I realized that you’re really not here to find information about the tax, but to just appear as if you are!
Anyhow, if you’re going to support McCain or whoever, just say so, but please don’t pretend that you’re an undecided “Democrats” and spreading false rumours about Obama’s Tax plan.

Obama ads in Arizona: It must be nature’s way of calling McCain home.

Gary: “lowes4321, President Bush was able to get the economy growing again after 9/11 and Katrina. It was only after the Democrats took over Congress that the economy started to go down hill.”
Give it up, Gary. Sit back and have a beer. No, make that several beers. Better yet, make that a pitcher of margaritas. You’re going to need them.

smears,im sitting here looking at a copy of bos good friend mr.ayers book he wrote in the 70s…its dedicated to SIRHAN SIRHAN…….WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE US that so many social misfits and malcontents are coming to the forefront of our GREAT society??????

Given your lack of ability to punctuate or capitalize, I’m guessing that by “looking at” you simply mean staring at the cover? I doubt you can read anything of content.
Of course this is why you most likely obtain your radical right opinions by being listening to Rush & other nutcases? After it’s better than thinking for yourself, right??

Obama needs to feed his hungry base, by letting his base see him campaign in Arizona. Now, that would be some real red meat.

It is time to send Mr. McCain to the golf course and retirement. It’s time for a change. It’s time to restore the middle class.

All the single cell morons are keep supporting John Mc-in-Vain. Think like an intellect, and support Barak Obama, and help him to bring back the real american values. If we miss this chance, then we will never, and even the God will say good bye.
Vote Obama, for better USA.

Sally Bull,
That’s bull, Sally!

I’m retired, registered republican and living in Arizona but my vote will go for Obama. McCains support for privatizing Social Security frightens me especially since the stock market crash.

Bob: I have voted already – and I voted for Obama:) But we need to keep on the tails of people about voting. No more “my vote doesn’t count” nonesense – elections get lost that way! VOTE. If all the people who support Obama get out and vote, we’ll be electing him as our new President. McCain, Palin and all the Right Wing Lunatics that have been posting here for days will all be out in force and voting … Their only hope? They have no policies to speak of – there one chance is that We stay home and don’t vote. Don’t do it this time. VOTE OBAMA.

I find it odd that Arizona isnt at least 70 percent for McCain now. He barely has a lead in his own state? That speaks volumes for me. GOBAMA
