Dubious-stein

Good for him!!! Welcome aboard!!

Most people with an IQ over 89 are voting for Obama/Biden.

It’s ironic during August the Dems were worried Hillary supporters would not back Obama. After the financial crisis hit 90%+ now back Obama. Now it’s the republicans who are in fear. Party leaders are backing what some call the “most” liberal member of the senate.
I bet there will be a fake “puma” out there who will comment this blog stated they will vote McCain.
But this is real. Obamacans.

Yes Jake any word on PALINS MEDICAL RECORDS

90%+ now back Obama.
closer to 9% than 90%

“closer to 9% than 90%”
got a problem with reality geevil?

Sen. Obama likes to quote random people and label them as a “senior McCain advisor” or “senior Clinton advisor.” make no mistake about it, there wasn’t anything “senior” nor “advisor” about the dude that Sen. Obama purportedly said represents McCain and calls America a “nation of whiners.” That guy that said “if we talk about the economy, we’re going to lose,” whom Barack called a “senior advisor,” is just another dude, like us, who blogs on blogs. Colin Powell? Rep. Leach as in Gramm-Leach-Bliley? former Gov. of Massachussets (not Romney)… you call those Republicans? I guess you can’t call them blue blood Democrats like Sen. Feingold and Sen. Lieberman “Democrats” because they don’t actually buy into the Obama Campaing’s spin of “McCain isn’t the McCain of old” and “McCain isn’t a maverick anymore, he’s more of the same.”

Jake trying to invoke reagan’s name with Obama.
This guy is nothing but a lobbyist who hasn’t mingled with normal Americans in years.
So answer the question Jake. Were any Sam Zell papers booted from the plane?

JR:
you know what I mean, snidely. Obama is a liberal social democrat who cares more for equality than liberty…I oppose this trend.

Reagan republicans for Obama. Wonderful this is lanslide victory come Tuesday 04-11,2008.

The truth is that both McCain and Obama are good men, intelligent and knowledgeable. Both want to do what is best for America. They disagree on what that requires, and our job is to vote for the one who most agrees with our own views on what we should be doing.
That is why I am voting for Barack Obama, because I agree with him most of the time, and do not McCain. I am voting for Obama because he is the first candidate in a long time who seems to talk to us like we are intelligent adults. Because every issue I have heard him speak about, I have been impressed with his knowledge of the complexities and balances involved. He is willing to listen to ALL points of view, and then he makes up his own mind.
I am voting for Barack Obama because he has shown an understanding of the need to return fairness and justice to America and the world. We have been waiting for such a candidate for a very long time, and were starting to despair of it. The craving for real change is much deeper than people seem to realize. It will not be denied.

write this down:
President John McCain

Clintonites for McCain: “there wasn’t anything “senior” nor “advisor” about the dude that Sen. Obama purportedly said represents McCain and calls America a “nation of whiners.”
Actually, that was Phil Gramm, McCain’s dear friend and TOP economic advisor, who was widely believed to be his choice for Treasury Secretary.
Is that “senior” enough for you?

President John McCain
*******************
Why?

Ken Duberstein, Colin Powell, and Richard Armitage were all part of the group that got Joe Wilson’s connection to his wife in the CIA in the press. They all hid that fact from President Bush when Novak published the information (Duberstein set up the interview between Novak and Armitage). None of them told the President, the press, or Patrick Fitzgerald during his investigation.
I suspect they have their own motivations for doing what they do. I don’t think President Obama would appreciate such behavior from people in his future administration (or their friends), though.

JR: thanks for the insult…pretty gratuitous…
I like, many ex-democrats, have been shocked to find themselves labeled “neocon” for believing that we didn’t deserve 9-11, that we have real enemies in the world, and that we need to do something beyond police action to deal with the challenge of global terror.
Read Chomsky’s “Camelot Revisted”-you will see that Kennedy, lionized by the left, was actually very conservative with regard to foreign polilcy, particularly after the failure of the missle crisis…of course, Chomsky’s argument is that Kennedy was a war criminal for such a stance. My sense is that democrats of the past are more in line with what some republicans’ stances regarding foreign policy have been in the last 20 years or so.
Anyway, your insult is not well-taken, anyone on here can attest that I have posted my beliefs sincerely and in most respects courteously. If you want to sneer some childish epithet at me, feel free.
I don’t care that you support Obama, and in fact, I think Obama is very compelling personally …I just wish he were more moderate and not doing backflips to hide what I see as an agenda that intends to move us more toward Canada then I prefer.
So, unlike you, I wish your candidate well, despite his flaws, and hope that he will be a good president. McCain is not perfect and has run his campaign more poorly than I would like. However ,I have seen more demonization of him, from the outset, by both the Obama campaign and his supporters, than I would like.
I consider him a true hero…his opinions may differ from yours, but that is no reason to suggest that he does not sincerely believe that he has a better plan than the democrats…that’s the way it is…
I am just sick of being told that I am either stupid, evil, or anti-hope…
I don’t think you are any of those things…I think you are sincere that you believe Obama will be better for the country. Please afford me the same courtesy before you snarl “neo-con” again…

John McCain divorced his first wife after she was seriously injured in an auto accident. In fact, he was sleeping with Cindy before he got the divorce. Now is that a man you want in office? Not me. He has no moral’s nor integrity and is just plain old and feeble.

jock59801:
I disagree…true equality is impossible to achieve, and the trade off in liberty is too great
Also, there is a distinction between economic equality and equality under the law. I worry that many on the left seek too much economic equality, which does not account for differences in effort.
Just my two :-)

Gosh darnit, that pesky Constitution has gone and tripped up Palin again, you betcha. She stated today that the Press is threatening HER 1st Amendment rights by reporting on her criticisms of Obama.
Apparently she doesn’t count that unimportant section about A FREE PRESS.

Wade
Good point, but I think you are mistaken about which one the left believes. While there may still be some young, idealistic communists who think we can have equality of outcome, the “liberal” viewpoint is equality under the law, which we often emphasize as including equality of OPPORTUNITY, not equality of outcome.
Obama always talks about people having to take responsibility for their own lives. It is one of his most common themes.

Jake,
Why are you calling Ken Dubious-stein?
Is there anything wrong with endorsing someone from the other party?
Did you call Liberman dubious?
Did you call Powel dubious?
I think this is unfair and I protest it. Ken has a right to endorse who he wants.
This is America Jake. The country of FREEDOM OF CHOICE.

** Thats why I’m voting democratic
It has always seemed to me the republican party was exlusive {them and only them the religious christian straight white (very few blacks) people}
Dems have always been inclusive
Anyone can tag along as long as you want the best for your country
I like being inclusive myself. I’m a southern baptist that doesn’t believe in gay marriage– the difference is I don’t have the authority to tell any person what to do w/ their lives. I believe God will handle that. I have many gay friends that I don’t discrminiate against. It’s their business. I wish more people were liek that

McCain continues to ‘reach across the aisle’ to insult and smear his opponent. What a complete hypocrite.

Steve_NJ
I think many of these journalists are more interested in trying to be clever than in worrying about what the words actually mean. Rick Klein even more so.

I really believe the press both written and that on TV has elected the next president with unfair reporting. This has nothing to do with free press just press that has decided to get so wrapped up in the election because of the competitive nature of their business. This will be a terrible 4 years if Obama continues his grip on the reporting of news in our country. Almost sounds socialist to me.

Old news — well know inside Beltway Duberstein is misogynist!
Obama former speechwriter supporting McCain – you didn’t report that though! Typical double standard

Hey Jake -
Any sign of Joe the Plunger today?
Has he officially bailed out on McCain?
He’ll regain my respect if he votes Obama.

Jock:
Heh! That’s right! Ain’t it great?

I can definitely sympathize with your post. I agree that some parts of the republican party can be very narrow minded, and frankly the religious right is something I despise. ( I am an atheist)…My sense was that McCain was a move away from that…he picked Palin more because of this wing than anything else…although I admire her tenaciousness and some of her common sense attitudes, I would have picked Giuliani who is more socially liberal.
* I actually like Sarah Palin. I’ll vote for her if she ran by herself. I think she should run independent. I like her because she is talking to the American people, but not telling them what they want to hear. I think she’s better off w/out McCain. His own advisors have tore her to pieces after asking her to run with them. She doesn’t deserve it. But i have to point out some of her flaws too. I believe though she is a quick study and if she runs sometime in the future, I will take a hard look at voting for her if she gets herself together.

Paint VA Blue:
Well, sounds good! Glad you like her…ain’t America great?

“John McCain’s campaign is going the wrong way. He’s behind Barack Obama 51-43 percent in Friday’s Gallup Poll among likely voters.
It’s Obama’s largest lead yet among likely voters. And get this:
Among all voters, McCain has slipped to his lowest reading in the last three weeks of October: He trails Obama 52-41 percent.”

PaintVaBlue wrote: I know every GOPer isn’t like that– I used to be GOP myself.
I worked for McCain 2000 against GW. I turned Independent after that election. McCain has turned into GW, same dirty tactics, same pandering to the religious right when he selected Palin for VP.

How Many Republicans does that make now Supporting and voting for Barack, cant say I blame them look at the Republican Party look what it has turned into Liars, Crooks, Frauds, Republicans are Embaressed by Mccain and Palin i know if I were a Republican I would be!

Mike whines: Why don’t you talk about the millions of Republicans who aren’t jumping ship and will still vote for John McCain despite the media proclaiming him a loser already.
Better yet, why not talk about all those influential Dems that jump ship and join McCain….oh wait….never mind.

“Get ready for more of Jeremiah Wright’s greatest hits this weekend”.
Who gives a rats about Wright. Most of us Independents have already decided and voted. McCain is only playing the GOP base with this B.S.

The reason McCain had to go negative on some ads is because the MSM failed to do its job.
Someone had to tell the truth about Obama.

To me, John McCain does not look well physically, mentally or emotionally.
He looked dreadful during some of the debates – off balance and almost unhinged at times.
I will not be putting any of my fate into his hands.
And Sarah Palin has revealed herself as basically a soap opera character with little depth of intellect and a very one-dimensional, almost cartoon view of the world stage.
Again, I would not put any of my fate in her hands.
It’s a pathetic Republican ticket.
8 years of Republicans was enough. The electorate will be rightfully booting the Republicans out of office.
Landslide Democratic win despite all the attempt to use smear tactics during the next few days.

“10 Reasons Why McCain Might Win:”
These are quite laughable…I think I willhave some fun.
“1) One poll has undecided voters at 14 percent on the last weekend, which means most of them probably really aren’t undecided, that they are either going to stay home or vote preponderantly for McCain and pull McCain across the finish line.”
Why would undecided suddenly break for McCain in an overwhelming majority to say nothing of undecided not being that high in most polls.
“2) Most pollsters are claiming the electorate this year is six to nine points more Democratic than it is Republican”
Democrats have added records of new voters while GOP self identity is at historic lows.
“3) Obama frequently outpolled his final result in primaries, which might have many causes but might also indicate that he has difficulty closing the sale”
Frequently is the wrong word to use. It happened a couple of times. Obama also vastly out performed polls. In fact he out performed polls more often than he outpolled by quite a margin
“4) The argument in the past two weeks has shifted, such that many undecided voters who are now paying attention are hearing about Obama’s redistributionist tendencies at exactly the right moment for McCain.”
60% of the people want fairer wealth redistribution. 46% have no problem with heavy taxes on the rich to acheive that.
“5) The tightening in several daily tracking polls indicates a modest surge on McCain’s part that could continue through the weekend until election day.”
None of the tracking polls have tightened.
Rassmussen has been at a 4 or 5 pts lead for Obama for weeks. Reuters/CPSAN/Zogby has had Obama up 5+ for a week now. Even Gallup’s traditional model for turnout has Obama up over 5 pts.
RCP’s average has lost 1pt maybe 1.5 pts over the last week and that is largely influenced by FoxNews bogus poll.

well at the palin iowa rally sarah did not say obama’ middle name, but someone in the audience did shout the N-word.
Sarah Palin (visibally a little mixed on it) but she kept going, maybe she should have stopped and said, let’s not call people names anymore. but she stayed on her speech.
No matter what you think about either canidate, there is a difference in the type and tone of the mccain/palin rallies, and obama/biden rallys.
Why is there so much hate speech coming from the mccain camp?
and don’t say it is the media,
the media will go for a story anywhere it can get it.
if there was as much hate talk coming from obama rallys as there is mccain rally, the media would report it.
so why is there so much hate talk from the mccain/palin rallys?
If John mccain wins this election,
I hope someone would ask him if he regrets the hate talk, and how he has fueled this country to be divisive.
real virginia vs fake virginia?
pro american vs against americans
it is not right.
why so much hate speech from mccain/palin?

Anyone who has ever voted for President based on tax issues, has voted to redistribute wealth. The ONLY question is whether we redistribute it up or down. Bush redistributed it upward, and now we want it BACK.

“Did Bush have the government issue checks to rich people?”
Stimulus checks ring a bell?
Gotta love right wingers who are able to block any memories not fitting the current argument.
Its almost as comical as their paranoid delusions that a progressive tax code equals socialism.

Jake, you’ve done such a great job this election cycle helping us deepen our understanding of economics and foreign affairs.
How about some help with religion – perhaps you can run a story about the “Christians” praying at the molten calf statue on Wall Street the other day and why so few people on the right have any sense of irony?

It will always amaze me at how the republican can con poor,working class people to vote against their interest.
they must call us rubes, all of the time.
cindy mccain looks as if she is being careful to make sure she does not get to close to the people, she walks and looks at the people as if they are specimens.
do not think the mccain will be working to help the poor and working class.
stop fooling yourselves.
vote your interest this time.
don’t let any more of your hard working,
sons and daugthers go and get killed for mccain war.
what will the victory that john mccain speaks of look like?
how do you mccain supporters see victory in iraq?

Concerned in Ohio -
Now you’ve completely confused me. Going back to your initial post on this subject…when the poor or middle class get a tax cut, it’s equivalent to a welfare check. When the wealthy get a tax cut, they’re just keeping more of their own money. Huh?
We’ve had a progressive tax system in this country since 1910. It has always redistributed wealth. It hasn’t been called “socialist,” “redistributionist,”"collectivist,” or “Marxist” until the McCain/Palin stunt-of-the day campaign.
Even Senator McCain admitted on Larry King the other night that he doesn’t believe that Senator Obama is a “socialist.” Maybe you folks can move onto another faux “issue.”

“You liberals project your own moral failings onto everyone else.”
This from a guy who was proud of his support of the racial attack hoax and has spent the last month lying on this blog on a daily basis.
You and the right wing are going to LOSE on Yuesday Concern in OH and LOSE BIG.

We’ve all see what the past 8 years of cutting taxes for the rich has done.
It’s over for the Republicans in this election.
The electorate has had enough of Republican failures.

And Obama says he can defeat the Taliban, and Al queda in afghanistan. How long will that take.

“And Obama says he can defeat the Taliban, and Al queda in afghanistan. How long will that take.”
Well….. Obama is an accomplished military mogul….. so it should take….. no longer than an hour and a half.
He’ll take care of our economy in an equally swift and painless manner.
And if you can swallow this kind of swill…… there’s ton more out there…equally fantastic.
