GOP Senator Slams McCain Robo Call

Maccain is sinking. He is like a man whose neck is tied to a heavy rock, thrown into the sea of republican exploitation, sinking down the ocean of oblivion.
McCain is done. We should close the book and go elections now. McCain is done. The time is right for a change and lies and desperation will not stop the wind of change. The republicans think that everybody is stupid to see throw the masks of their lies.
The republicans are done. It was a nice try. Good McCain, it is time for you and your wife to start drinking a lot of budweissers for free from your wives’s brewery factory. There is enough to make Joe the plumber drunk and when he wakes up from the stupor he can remember to start paying taxes.
Americans will never be fooled again.
The new era has begun.
Everybody get out on November 4th and go to the polling station.
Hubert.

McCain tried negative smears last week, and it cost him 6% in the polls.
So what’s he doing now?
More of the same.
McSame. More of the Same.

BHO isn’t as rosy as you think either…
Obama falsely claimed all of McCain’s ads had been “negative.”
Obama: And 100 percent, John, of your ads – 100 percent of them have been negative.
McCain: It’s not true.
Obama: It absolutely is true.
It was almost true, for one recent week. Obama was referring to a report by the Wisconsin Advertising Project at the University of Wisconsin that concluded that “nearly 100 percent of the McCain campaign’s advertisements were negative” during the week of Sept. 28 through Oct. 4. During the same week, 34 percent of the Obama campaign’s ads were negative. The Obama campaign was found to have outspent the McCain campaign in nearly all of the competitive states, in some cases by a margin of more than 3-to-1.
McCain’s ads, however, have not been deemed 100 percent negative in other weeks. In fact, in the week after the Republican National Convention, 77 percent of Obama’s ads were negative, according to the advertising project, while 56 percent of McCain’s were negative.

THE GOP IS WORKING VERY HARD TO LOSE THIS CAMPAIGN FOR MCCAIUN
KATHLEEN PARKER
BUCKLEY
ETC ETC
THEN THIS IDIOT..

For Palin to be questioning anybody’s patriotism, maybe she ought to be spending more time explaining why she was associated with the Alaska Independent Party…an organization that pushed for Alaska to secede from the United States.
Palin, you don’t get any more anti-american than that…bimbo!

Why did McCain call the JFK assassination an “intervention”, a CIA term for a covert operation?
Another freudian slip or a veiled warning to Obama?
http://www.infowars.com/?p=5385

G. Gordon Liddy; a man who wanted to shoot ATF agents in the head; a convict.
Good friends with McCain.
McCain has no soul. He’s dead inside.

John McCain is a dishonorable coward–a sad bitter old man completely unfit to lead this country.

monitor – did you miss the winking of McCain too? Those are also code words. A veiled warning to Obama? You need to get out of the house and breathe some fresh air. Its politics. Its not about all the stupid attacks either of them make. Do your own research on their records and don’t vote out of fear.

Sen. McCain is a disgrace and is running a campaign wholly beneath the office he seeks. He has traded his honor for a shot at the job he has wanted for 10 years. It would be sad, but we have too much at stake to waste time pitying him any longer.
He knows what he is doing, he knows the division and anger his campaign and its tactics are sewing, and he does these things anyway. I am officially repulsed. Between this and the Bachmann McCarthyism we witnessed earlier and Palin’s repeated vile slime, I am thinking about changing my party id. McCain is clearly going down and wants to take the party with him. Enough is really enough.

“jerilyn” — The issue is McSlimers robocalls — not Obama’s “negative ads”.
_____
Robocalls are probably illegal in ME, exactly as they are in one or more New England states, including MA.
Not that Republicans are concerned with rule of law — torture is a war crime that can’t be made legal. Plumbing without a license is illegal.
But “jerilyn” isn’t sufficiently moral to deal with those realities, so she dishonestly and irrationally changes the subject based upon the lie that she’s not only moral, but morally superior to those who aren’t liars and lawless.

Do not confuse the negativity of the two campaigns’ ads. McCain’s are personal attacks on Obama as a person and his loyalty to America. Obama’s ads attack McCain’s record and policies.
Kudos to Collins.

With all the brouhaha about the polls, I decided to start on of my own. I started a blog and ask these questions:
Does everyone realize there are four choices in this election?
You can vote:
For McCain – McCain is the best candidate in this election and deserves to be elected.
Against Obama – Where this might seem as a vote for McCain; its really not, it is a vote to keep Obama from being elected; no matter who the other candidate is.
For Obama – Obama is the best candidate in this election and deserves to be elected.
Against McCain – again this might seem like for Obama but it really isn’t.
Go to my blog and vote: http://nebraskavoice.blogspot.com
The results so for are interesting…
McCain – 56%
Obama – 44%

I love this constant reference to how Obama is spending more money on negative advertising. That is because HE HAS MORE MONEY! That is because people like me would rather give him our money then the vilest republican since, well, W.
McCain spends ALL of his money on negative ads and it is still not as much money as Obama is spending because he just doesn’t have as much. Period.

JNagarya – Obama has to hide a little with the negatives. Because if he doesn’t alot more unpleasant relationships could be brought out. I think McCain is being generous. Be thankful. He is not the Messiah you think he is.

when news organizations report the bombs ‘resulted in fatalities’ does anyone wonder why ayers is not in jail? you should. you’re not getting the whole story. the MSM is completely comprimised by corporations.
the only people who died were a few of the bomb-makers themselves…surprise!

“If she truly feels that strongly about it,” said Carol Andrews, communications director to Democratic Rep. Tom Allen, “she should resign as co-chair of McCain’s campaign in Maine.”
-=-=-
Rep. Tom Allen is a hypocrite for calling on Sen. Collins to resign as Sen. McCain’s campaign co-chair in Maine for running robocalls while not calling for Sen. Obama to withdraw his candidacy for President of the United States for running tv ads beyond public finance limits.

lucky – well that kind of sucks for Obama that Ayers wasn’t one of them.

>> I think McCain is being generous
Then you don’t know John McCain or his long history of involvement in some of the more shady times in history that have cost many others their careers.

Go after him Susan you and Snow and as close to M>C> Smith as they come in fact either of you ladies would have been better as a running mate then Palin.Tell Cindy baby that she is a liar and puke.She slams ever chance she gets and did it again today but Her Hubby champaign is clean.HA-HA

– Obama to withdraw his candidacy for President of the United States for running tv ads beyond public finance limits. –
You might want to read this before you go spouting off about campaign limits:
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?id=6049954&page=1http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?id=6049954&page=1

I guess the campaign wanted to wait for the debate to be over to do this, so McLame wouldn’t have to answer anything. I don’t want him to be president, but I did respect him, now that is all gone.

Bill Ayers is not in jail thanks to Nixon’s COINTELPRO – that is, illegal domestic spying on Americans.
Bill Ayers also NEVER said, with respect to 9/11, that the Weather Underground should have ‘bombed more’.
What Ayers said was that his group did not do enough to stop the Vietnam War. These remarks came out in a New York Times interview which was published on September 10, 2001. The remarks were in no way connected to the events of 9/11 other than the coincidence of their publication so close to 9/11.
Since the interview was both conducted and published prior to 9/11, it is impossible for Ayers to have made these remarks with respect to the terrorist attacks.

– smear the messenger instead of the message. –
The message has already been hashed over and over again.. it is the messenger that continues to repeat the same nonsense over and over and over again in true Roveian fashion.
Even my grandmother knows McCain is full of himself if he thinks people will buy his tenuous connection hogwash, and she will believe just about anything (she still thinks that Bush is a good president!).

RE: Ann 10/17 9:26:56
Gee, and isn’t it a shock that Bush has re-established ties with Gadahfi over the last few months. Do you suppose that happened before or after these comments were made? I suppose it’s too much to ask for some independent thinking here – You are obviously the victim of another nifty Republican tactic – don’t fund education, make people stupid, and they’ll all vote for you when you frighten them with lies and exaggerations.
Not that your interested, but Obama is Christian – and American – and was born an American citizen. Have a nice day – and don’t forget to vote on November 5th!

There are many questions about Obama’s integrity on so many issues. It was gone for me when he said he would repeal NAFTA but met secretly with a Canadian delegation and assured them it was only for politiacl reasons he made the comment. The moral of the story with Joe the plumber is not to question the government and especially the democrat messiah. Does this give evidence to the assertions that Obama will try to overturn the second amendment and gun ownership rights? A socialist government has no need for an armed public. The vote was close in the previous supreme court decision but liberal justice Kennedy made the decisive vote knowing it would have lead this country to civil war. A domestic militia is need in time of war. People should start stocking up before it is too late. Do not take freedom for granted. Just look to the history of Cuba.

>> Does this give evidence to the
>> assertions that Obama will try to
>> overturn the second amendment and gun
>> ownership rights?
He is a constitutional law expert and has fought for upholding the constitution all his life.. I think any fears about overturning the second amendment is only in peoples minds.. particularly the ones who have fallen for the current administrations fear tactics used over the last 8 years.

I don’t understand why there has been zero focus on McCain’s past questionable associations, as well as Palin’s: Pastor Hagee, G Gordon Liddy, the Alaska Independent Party (AIP), the Oregon Citizens Alliance, and more… McCain is a hypocrite, and he will lose!

In my Opinion George Bush is a strong leader, the right president for our time.But im very concerned if the media shovel Marxist Obama down on the American People, and will be truble all over.All our enemies just waiting for Obama to be elected.

>> Pastor Hagee, G Gordon Liddy, the
>> Alaska Independent Party (AIP), the
>> Oregon Citizens Alliance, and more..
US Council for World Freedom, World Anti-Communist League, Albanian American Citizens League, Kosovo Liberation Army, Iran-Contra associations, previous funding of Bin Laden when he was ‘our friend’..
the list continues to grow

If McCain wins it will be by a very small margin and half of the country well have no respect for him.

The anti-Obama whisper internet, robocall campaign- “he wasn’t born in the U.S., he’s a Muslim, he associates with terrorist, he’s the sleeper Manchurian Candidate terrorist- convinces me of three things. 1. Reincarnation is a reality!. These people are the most recent versions of Joseph McCarthy. 2. I saw the movie Mancurian Candidate. There is only one candidate in the race who was a P.O.W. You whisperers should be careful with this charge. 3. E. Burke, the last great conservative, said, “Evil flourishes when good men remain silent.” O.K. he said that in 1775. Let’s add “women”. Lying is “evil” I WILL NOT REMAIN SILENT.

McShame is gone with his dumb parrot!

I think McCain is crossing the lines with these calls. They are attempting to frighten voters and there families. I don’t think it is ethical. Why can’t he just talk about the issues? Why is McCain allowing these calls that were made to destroy his run for office years ago with false allegations. Why is he willing to do absolutely anything to win this election? Where are his convictions, standards..priorities?? I think McCain needs to Man Up and stop hiding behind Palins skirt. He needs to stop these people in his party from making these outrageous calls immediately. He needs to take a stand against such behavior. If his campaign is an example of how he’d run the country then we might be in for something awful..if he can’t even control them now. These are the same tactics the Bush campaign folks used in the last two elections. How is McCain going to do anything differently then the Bush administration??

Compliments to Sen. Collins for upholding the (remaining shreds of) integrity of her party. She, and her fellow Sen. from Maine, are Republicans that I have always respected. Sadly, John McCain used to be one of those as well. No more. Apparently to make these robocalls his campaign has hired the SAME COMPANY that made the ones against him in 2000 in S.C. — you know, the ones saying he had an illegitimate black daughter, had been brainwashed while a POW and other lovely messages. How can he live with himself?

Oh geez, based on his remarks John McCain and family are in the same economic group as I am –not rich(HFS)!
“Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s wife, Cindy, reported $4.2 million in income for 2007, nearly $2 million less than she reported the previous year, according to tax returns released by the McCain campaign Friday. Mrs. McCain, who files her taxes separately from her husband, paid $1.1 million in taxes, a tax rate of about 26 percent. She reported nearly $530,000 in itemized deductions.”

It’s Maine. They probably have a statue of Ayers in front of the capitol building.

gabrielle duenat, we are all glad to hear that you are a Euro-artistocrat elitist. What the French press is not getting is that there has been a news black out around Obama – no information released about him or his associates.
Think of Joe the Plumber – news trucks around his house and the media bashing him. Have you seen one truck in front of any of Obama’s associates houses?
How about the news media chasing Rev. Wright down the street? Bill Ayers?

No one will touch ACORN to avoid the scourge of being called a racist. I think the days of that working are soon coming to an end. Each one of those ACORN administrators should go to jail with the time depending on the amount of fraud they have perpetrated.
In Ohio, people would register and roll over and put in an absentee ballot. Nice, these pals of Obama.

Light-headed Sen. Joe,
You’ve chosen your moniker well, I’d say.
You say we should demand:
“written works, college grades, SAT scores, written works from Harvard law school. Just the stuff you would require of any one else running for the job”
Excuse me!
a) when has any of this ever been expected of any candidate for office?
b) you’re on thin ice here: it’s a matter of record that McC graduated damn near the bottom of his class.
If these are your criteria, bring it on!

GBA – I agree with you. Just look at the books he had written and what his wife says. Of course, we should also ignore the hate filled church he went to as that really has nothing to do with the way he sees the world.

Ellen – its the Dems that are all giddy that BHO went to Harvard well let’s see what he’s got. Bring it on!

Light Headed,
Are really THAT gullible or just trying to be sarcastic.
Sarcasm I get. Blogs are full of it.
But to think people actually believe that Obama somehow has orchestrated some form of nationwide attempt to “steal” an election is so ludicrous it’s insulting to anyone with a brain.
Unless they have millions of people with fake ID’s that say Micky Mouse this accusation is just a way to cast doubt on Obama. It’s simply another smear tactic.
GOP lawyers have been making these exact claims in every election for years now. And why is it they ALWAYS make their claims 3 to 4 weeks before the voting starts in highly contested districts? But ACORN registers people year round. Just coincidence right?
They are obviously trying to force courts to create chaos by screwing up the voting process and supressing LEGITIMATE voters. JUST LIKE THEY JUST TRIED IN OHIO TODAY. It happened in FL in 2000 and OH in 2004. And it worked.
Why ACORN? ACORN registers a large number of people who would otherwise not have a voice in our ploitical process. The same people who have been getting screwed by Republican administrations. GOP lawyers know this and don’t want them to vote.
Odd that Sen John McCain praised ACORN for their work as recently as a couple years ago. But now, Candidate McCain is trying to portray them as some “radical fringe” organization perpetuating the largest scandal in American history.
McCain’s hypocracy has reached a new plateau. Sad, he was actually a man of integrity when he ran in 2000. I voted for him. But I would never cast a vote for him and his talking Parrot now. He sold out to the GOP just to get the nomination.

What is the problem with people having to show identification? I’mean really how much does a state id cost? And you can get it the same day. So if you can register and vote the same day go to the DMV first.

McCain and Palin say a lot about themselves when you realize that they have nothing positive to say about themselves.

>> Obviously they didn’t look that great on paper or they would have been passed
Haven’t come up for vote yet.
>> Another key word “present.” God forbid he have to take a strong stance on anything. Doesn’t his record matter to anybody?
130 present votes out of 4000 in Illinois, which is a fairly common vote.
McCain on the other hand has missed more votes in this session of congress than any other senator.. over 64% of them, and Obama has voted more than McCain.
If you are looking for Obama records, they are all online over that the Illinois senate web site, and US Senate records are available at the congressional vote database and library of congress.
http://thomas.loc.gov/
http://projects.washingtonpost.com/congress/members/m000303/
For grins, look at what bills McCain has introduced this session.
He complains about Obama and the 3$ million projector for a planetarium, which could spark a childs imagination and push them towards a scientific career.. what do you think about McCain wanting to create a US boxing association that will cost taxpayers, according to the CBO, $7 million a year ($34 million the first 4 years).

In the late 60′s there was a movie “Shoes of the Fisherman” starring Anthony Quinn. I had just been honorable discharged from the military (during Viet Nam) and I went to see this movie. There was a line in the movie that I have never forgotten and it is so true no when speaking of McCain and it is: “Without love, man withers like a grape on a dying vine”. Every time I look at McCain that line comes to mind as he surely has no love for America or its citizens. How sad.

It’s sad how many people who once liked McCain have had to watch him toss his integrity aside to suck up the right wing Christian radicals in our nation.
Both my parents and myself voted for McCain in the primaries in 2000. Once he dropped out, I went to Gore, folks to Bush.
Now all of us are voting Obama. No way we reward the GOP for what they have done over the last 8 years. They have SHREDDED the Constitution, lied to us, and played on our post 9-11 sentiment to pursue their own agendas.
The administration has operated with impunity and has considered itself outside the rule of law.
John McCain supported them every step of the way. The times he did “stand up to his party” means nothing now since he just reversed his positions to fall back in line.
And McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin was not only the final insult, but it certainly was not made based on ability or who would be best for the nation.
“Maverick” McCain was killed by “Candidate” McCain

>> Where is the written work from Harvard Law school? To get on Law Review one writes a lot of published papers. Where are they?
Over at Harvard.. They released his transcripts back in 2005 and much of his work is archived. It’s just that some people don’t care or have a desire to go look and just want to find reasons to justify their position, regardless of how irrational it may be.

1) I used to be a Republican. I’m now registered as an Independent and have been for many years. I no longer recognize the Republican party. It has no honor, integrity, or desire to try to do what’s best for America and Americans.
2)The comparisons above of whose ads are the most negative fail to recognize that Obama’s negative ads are focused on McCain’s policies and positions. Their purpose is to attempt to compare the candidates’ positions. McCain’s negative ads, on the other hand, are direct character attacks that are full of lies, falsehoods, and innuendos. They are designed to create doubt and fear.
3) I resent the implication of many (Rep. Michelle Bachman of Minnesota being only the latest) that because one is “liberal” one is anti-American or unpatriotic. This is very dangerous language and reflects profound ignorance of this nation’s history. In fact, it is the height of anti-Americanism to label those trying to make America an even better place for their children and grandchildren as “anti-American” or “unpatriotic.”

I just went to nebraskavoice and the vote is Obama 116 votes and McCain 105.

I know what BHO did vote on – to increase middle class taxes. Not anymore though, right. Cause we need Change. I changed my mind. He’s thjnking people are so dumb right now I can sell them anything and they’ll buy it. And you will with his big tax cut he’s going to give you. Should he win – I wouldn’t think of moving. I have to stick around to watch how comical this gets. From the time that Ayers introduces him to Wright blessing the White House.

He complains about Obama and the 3$ million projector for a planetarium, which could spark a childs imagination and push them towards a scientific career.. what do you think about McCain wanting to create a US boxing association that will cost taxpayers, according to the CBO, $7 million a year ($34 million the first 4 years).
—————————-
Hahahaha
That’s funny! To bad Obama didn’t bring that up in the debate.

light headed Joe Biden said “We have the stacks of illegal registrations. Please charge them, give them a trial, and if guilty put them in jail. Won’t happen.”
++++++++++++++++
As you may know, in many states they are obligated to turn in ALL forms that they have collected, and as I understand it they frequently separated the ones that they were suspicious of.
In any event, every state has a voter registration dept whose job it is to check them all out, and can the ones that don’t measure up. Just because Mickey Mouse applies to vote doesn’t mean that he will vote.

“Without love, man withers like a grape on a dying vine”. Every time I look at McCain that line comes to mind as he surely has no love for America or its citizens. How sad.
Posted by: democratic | Oct 17, 2008 10:39:47 PM
That’s how he got into the panties of so many women while he was still married, including apparently, the rich one.
Its all about conquest with him. Love has nothing to do with him.

Global warming is just the end of days.
Pray for the construction of a pipeline.
The Iraq war is God’s will
Dinosaurs were really Jesus ponies.

lightheaded
All I see is one angry old man who is displaying erratic behavior and encourages his party to levels of hate mongering that should be stopped. I don’t care how loving he is at home as he hasn’t shown any of that during this campaign.

How far McCain has descended, it’s pathetic. The jingoism is disgusting and repulsive, his rabble rousing sidekick takes the cake.
It’s time for the good republicans, the REAL republicans to gather together and take back their party.

@ Obamacrat for McCain
I always like people that lie through statistics. Just because Republicans believe that Fox is unbiased and Democrats recognize that all news coverage is biased one way or another, your elided quote just demonstrates one way to interpret it.

Light headed, You are certainly named correctly.
Michele Obama said that for the first time in her adult life she was REALLY proud of America, NOT because her husband was doing well but because people were ready for change.
So please check your lies and don’t foist them on the rest of us.

I immediately called the RNC (number provided in the robo call) and expressed my EXTREME displeasure at getting this call. The lady told me they could not take my name off the list for 6 – 8 weeks! I always tell telemarketers to put me on the Do Not Call List. How is it that the RNC is above that law….am I going to get MORE of these??? It was a very upsetting experience to get that call. I’m in southeast Ohio, a battleground area in a battleground state. This is so creepy….like my privacy is being invaded and I have NO recourse.

To: NebraskaVoice,
You are one of the main reasons I moved out of Nebraska (aside from the sucky weather)!
CE in Sunny Scottsdale, AZ
OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!

It’s not like we didn’t know that McStain was scum. He’s an admitted baby killer who threw his illegitimate black daughter under the bus when he made nice with Bush and hired the Rove machine.

My God Light Head you got it!
There are a bunch of pipe hittin’ harcore mofo’s at ACORN that go after executives with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. That’s exactly how they work.
And the REVEREND Wright is truly a threat to out nation isn’t he? He’s a crazy ni**** ain’t he? We can’t be allowing that free speech stuff in our America! He just happens to have multiple degrees and speaks five languages fluently, but he’s obviously a nut. He EVEN said God damn America once. Oh No! Words! He must be evil. There could never be a reason that in the context of a sermon there would be a need to make a point in a dramtic way. So no need to try and understand what obvioulsy frightens you ok?
And did Ayres “blow up” anyone? His group blew up some buildings 40 years ago. (And gave warnings prior to doing so) He was protesting a war that was so wrong it just about ripped our country apart. The government was flat out lying to it’s citizens. (Wow, THAT sounds familiar doesn’t it?) And though Ayres has gone on to help his community, not exploit it in the Republican way, it’s much easier to over simplify everything into all inclusive definitions. So he’s just a “terrorist”.
Wow, now I get you completely.

McCain can keep digging his own grave, but there is no reason for him to take a very effective Maine Senator with him. Collins is extremely well liked in Maine, she is moderate, she has served Maine well, and she should have an easy reelection despite the Democratics throwing a lot of money into the race. McCain doesn’t need to screw it up for her and if he doesnt’ suspend the calls, she should resign just to show him.
The Robo calls and most of the crap that Palin-McCain are engaged in is insulting to the electorate. Their strategy depends on people being so ill-informed that they won’t know they are being bombarded with lies. That’s not exactly leadership.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/108043/Candidate-Support-Education.aspx

Todd Palin was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party for seven years–just how patriotic is that, Sarah?
And what kind of mom is the hockey mom who spends her days lying, lying, lying for McCain? Setting a great example, mom.

I used to respect Senator McCain a few years back when he was still a decent person. Now he acts and talks like he has to win this election at any cost. FYI, I heard a caller today in Wisconsin said that people were fooled by the lies McCain portrayed himself to be, and that McCain is not a hero for this caller. The caller said,
McCain while flying and bombing in Vietnam, he had killed thousands of innocent civilians due to his careless and arrogant attitudes by flying above 20,000 miles. Of course, the media does not want to dig back that far.
I believe American is the best nation in the world, well it used to be,
but to have someone like Sarah the Clown going around the country and claims that only [Her] race and/or her supporters team is pro-American is purely racist and un-human period.
I was so shock to hear McCain said on one TV interviews that he is always 100% honest. That line, not even God and/or Jesus Christ dare to utter.
Only God and the real people in this country can save this country from being worse, but I am afraid that there are too many fools are not smart enough to realize how bad we have lost our respect from the world, not only in education but in our so-called democracy.
May God forgive America and help us unit this country for the sake of our founders and our sinless future generations to come.

McCain is truly deranged. He has lost all sense of rationality. Even his fellow Repubs struggling in their own Senate and Congressional races are begging him to stop this madness as it is dragging them down into the gutter or they happen to have some degree of moral character and conscience and do not want to be associated with his smear gutter tactics. Does anyone out there know of anything McCain would NOT do, to get elected? JOHN MCCAIN WHO WAS ONCE RESPECTED FOR HIS POW HERO EXPERIENCE HAS DISHONORED HIMSELF AN HIS PARTY WITH HIS CAMPAIGN OF RACISM, HATRED, AND LIES. SHAME ON YOU, JOHN MCCAIN. YOU HAVE DISGRACED ALL THOSE THAT HAVE FOUGHT AND SERVED THIS COUNTRY WITH YOUR UGLY CONDUCT THAT VIOLATES ALL THE PRINCIPLES AND IDEALS THAT OUR GREAT COUNTRY IS FOUNDED UPON. SHAME!!!!!

This is from Washington Poster Editorial for endorsing Sen. Obama for president: “We think he is the right man for a perilous moment.”

The robo calls aren’t the only thing disgusting. Have you seen Michelle Bachmann on “Hardball”? Liberals are leftist anti-Americans and congress should be investigated for anti-Americanism. Another GOP nutcase! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/27243547#27243547

– The aggression of the Hanoi government backed by the Communist world to destroy and enslave South Vietnam was indeed an illegal act rather like when North Korea invaded South Korea. –
Looks like someone hasn’t shaken hands with Mr. Sanity in ages from the looks of things.
Amazing that some people have no problems sending our troops in so we can play the worlds policeman, killing thousands of our brave service men doing so, yet have a rabid disdain and opposition to domestic social issues that would benefit Americans?

From the remarkable endorsement from the conservative editors of the Chicago Tribune (who have observed Sen. Obama at close range for years):
On Nov. 4 we’re going to elect a president to lead us through a perilous time and restore in us a common sense of national purpose.
The strongest candidate to do that is Sen. Barack Obama. The Tribune is proud to endorse him today for president of the United States….
We have tremendous confidence in his intellectual rigor, his moral compass and his ability to make sound, thoughtful, careful decisions. He is ready.

Ayers finally get the recognition he deserves! What a guy!
http://www.ketv.com/news/17742770/detail.html

Democrat and Republicans in Nebraska know better than to be associated with Ayers.

Hey, dydx,
you and your Nebraska friends don’t need to worry about Bill Ayers coming anywhere near you.
He’s a college professor in my neighborhood, was Chicago Citizen of the year for 1997, and pals around with Republicans and pillars of the community. That board he and Obama served on was funded by a Ronald Reagan Republican and full of establishment types who never bombed anything or ever, ever voted Democratic.
Shocking and scandalous, isn’t it?

Just surfin around on abc news. There sure is alot of reporting and investigating on Cindy McCain but Michelle Obama has dropped off the radar. Where is she?

Ellen I’m in Chicago also and not everybody here paints Ayers as you do. A little repentance would be nice. A simple I was young and stupid.

Ayers and Bernadine should be in jail. They tried to burn a judge, his wife, and their children to death.

McCain is reckless, has no honor. At the last debate he said he did not like the negative of the campaign, bot he is backing this negative phone message. He is the lier that people said he was.

Glad to see that the people in Nebraska are smart enough to not associate with Ayers. Why isn’t the media following this bum around?

The McCain campaign has become a shameful display of desperation.

So John McCain is now hoping for an October surprise.
This is how John McPOW believe will win the White House :

It is what it is: Obama allied with scoundrels
In the best tradition of Bill Clinton’s declaration that the answer to the question of whether he was having an affair depended on “what the definition of is is,” Sen. Barack Obama was clearly concealing the truth when he said that William Ayers was “just a guy who lives in my neighborhood.”
The Ayers-Obama connection was, in fact, an intimate collaboration that it led to the only executive or administrative experience in Obama’s life.
After Walter Annenberg’s foundation offered several hundred million dollars to American public schools in the mid-’90s, Ayers applied for $50 million for Chicago. His purpose was to “raise political consciousness” in schools.
After he won the grant, Ayers’ group chose Obama to distribute the $50 million, and the future senator raised another $60 million from other civic groups to augment it. In doing so, he was following Ayers’ admonition to grant the funds to “external” organizations, like American Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), to pair with schools and conduct programs to radicalize and politicize the students.
Reading, math and science achievement tests counted for little in the grants, but the school’s success in preaching a radical agenda determined how much money it got.
Obama should have run screaming at the sight of Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn. Ayers has admitted bombing the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon, and his wife was imprisoned for failing to cooperate in solving the robbery of a Brink’s car in which two police were killed. Far from remorse, Ayers told The New York Times [NYT], in September 2001, that he wished he “could have done more.” Ayers only avoided conviction when the evidence against him turned out to be contained in illegal wiretaps. He was, in fact, guilty as sin.
So let’s sum up Obama’s Chicago connections. His chief financial supporter was Tony Rezko, now on his way to prison. His spiritual adviser was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, of “God damn America” fame. And the guy who got him his only administrative job is former terrorist Ayers.
Not a good recommendation for a president.

People change. What Ayers did 40 years ago was foolish youthful rebellion. The man is 60 years old now. Never convicted and never went to jail.
A judge’s house was not targeted. That is another lie. Also, Weather Underground members did not kill innocent Americans. The only one’s killed were the Weather Underground terrorists themselves who detonated a bomb. Ayers was chosen the City of Chicago’s Citizen of the Year and is a noted and respected professor who has written teacher manuals and handbooks used in every state in American. Scary, huh.
If he is so dangerous why isn’t he on the FBIs Most Wanted list?
McCain’s crooked associates actually went to jail… Charles Keating and the rest.

Well, I guess the proof will be in the pudding. If we are complacent, and we do not vote for Obama, we silently agree with McCain and the Rovian machine.
I am voting for Obama. More over, I am voting Democratic. If the GOP ever gets back to decency, well, things would be different, wouldn’t they?

VOIGHT: My concerns for America
Obama sowing socialist seeds in young people
We, as parents, are well aware of the importance of our teachers who teach and program our children. We also know how important it is for our children to play with good-thinking children growing up.
Sen. Barack Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger. We cannot say we are not affected by teachers who are militant and angry. We know too well that we become like them, and Mr. Obama will run this country in their mindset.
The Democratic Party, in its quest for power, has managed a propaganda campaign with subliminal messages, creating a God-like figure in a man who falls short in every way. It seems to me that if Mr. Obama wins the presidential election, then Messrs. Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers and Pfleger will gain power for their need to demoralize this country and help create a socialist America.
The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds. I know this process well. I was caught up in the hysteria during the Vietnam era, which was brought about through Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement. The radicals of that era were successful in giving the communists power to bring forth the killing fields and slaughter 2.5 million people in Cambodia and South Vietnam. Did they stop the war, or did they bring the war to those innocent people? In the end, they turned their backs on all the horror and suffering they helped create and walked away.
Those same leaders who were in the streets in the ’60s are very powerful today in their work to bring down the Iraq war and to attack our president, and they have found their way into our schools. William Ayers is a good example of that.
Thank God, today, we have a strong generation of young soldiers who know exactly who they are and what they must do to protect our freedom and our democracy. And we have the leadership of Gen. David Petraeus, who has brought hope and stability to Iraq and prevented the terrorists from establishing a base in that country. Our soldiers are lifting us to an example of patriotism at a time when we’ve almost forgotten who we are and what is at stake.
If Mr. Obama had his way, he would have pulled our troops from Iraq years ago and initiated an unprecedented bloodbath, turning over that country to the barbarianism of our enemies. With what he has openly stated about his plans for our military, and his lack of understanding about the true nature of our enemies, there’s not a cell in my body that can accept the idea that Mr. Obama can keep us safe from the terrorists around the world, and from Iran, which is making great strides toward getting the atomic bomb. And while a misleading portrait of Mr. Obama is being perpetrated by a media controlled by the Democrats, the Obama camp has sent out people to attack the greatness of Sen. John McCain, whose suffering and courage in a Hanoi prison camp is an American legend.
Gen. Wesley Clark, who himself has shame upon him, having been relieved of his command, has done their bidding and become a lying fool in his need to demean a fellow soldier and a true hero.
This is a perilous time, and more than ever, the world needs a united and strong America. If, God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way.

The New York Times trashes Obama’s Health Care Plan…
Health Plan From Obama Spurs Debate
By KEVIN SACK
It is one of the most audacious promises in a campaign that has been thick with them.
In speech after speech, Senator Barack Obama has vowed that he will lower the country’s health care costs enough to “bring down premiums by $2,500 for the typical family.” Moreover, Mr. Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has promised that his health plan will be in place “by the end of my first term as president of the United States.”
Whether Mr. Obama can deliver is a matter of considerable dispute among health analysts and economists. While there is consensus that the American health care system is bloated with waste, eliminating enough to save $2,500 per family would require simultaneous and synergistic solutions to a host of problems that have proved intractable for decades.
Even if the next president and Congress can muster the political will, analysts question whether significant savings would materialize in as little as four years, or even in 10. But as Mr. Obama confronts an electorate that is deeply unsettled by escalating health costs, he is offering a precise “chicken in every pot” guarantee based on numbers that are largely unknowable. Furthermore, it is not completely clear what he is promising.
His words about lowering “premiums” by $2,500 for the average family of four have been fairly consistent. But the health policy advisers who formulated the figure say it actually represents the average family’s share of savings not only in premiums paid by individuals, but also in premiums paid by employers and in tax-supported health programs like Medicare and Medicaid.
“What we’re trying to do,” said one of the advisers, David M. Cutler, in explaining the gap between Mr. Obama’s words and his intent, “is find a way to talk to people in a way they understand.”
The original arithmetic was somewhat basic. In May 2007, three Harvard professors who are unpaid advisers to the Obama campaign — Mr. Cutler, David Blumenthal and Jeffrey Liebman — produced a memorandum offering their “best guess” that a menu of changes would produce savings of at least $200 billion a year (it has since been revised to $214 billion). That would amount to about 8 percent of the $2.5 trillion in health care spending projected for 2009, when the next president takes office.
The memorandum attributed specific savings to several broad initiatives, with the numbers plucked from recent studies. Investments in computerized medical records would save $77 billion a year, the advisers wrote. Reducing administrative costs in the insurance industry would yield up to $46 billion. Improving prevention programs and chronic disease management would be worth $81 billion.
The total savings were then divided by the country’s population, multiplied for a family of four, and rounded down slightly to a number that was easy to grasp: $2,500. The average cost of family coverage bought through an employer was $12,106 in 2007, with workers paying $3,281 of that amount, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, a health research group.
Mr. Obama aspires to cover the country’s 47 million uninsured by requiring insurers to accept all comers, regardless of their health status, and by providing generous tax credits to low-income workers. The tax credits could be used to buy into a new federal health plan or private plans marketed through a government exchange.
The subsidies are expensive, estimated at well over $100 billion. Other components of the Obama plan also bear up-front costs, like a pledge to spend $50 billion over five years to speed the computerization of health records, $6 billion a year on tax credits to small businesses that provide coverage to workers, and an unspecified amount to buffer businesses from high-cost insurance claims.
The source Mr. Obama has identified to pay for them — the repeal of President Bush’s tax cuts for those making more than $250,000 — would cover only about half. That means additional health care savings would be needed, not only to keep premiums under control but also to help pay for the subsidies.
A consensus has emerged among health economists that at least a third of the country’s spending on health care is unnecessary. Both Mr. Obama, of Illinois, and his Republican rival, Senator John McCain of Arizona, agree that significant sums could be saved through reductions in unneeded procedures and improvements in electronic record-keeping, prevention and chronic disease management.
But the dollar values Mr. Obama has attached to individual components of his plan are beginning to attract scrutiny. In particular, the Congressional Budget Office issued a report in May questioning the amount to be saved from the computerization of health systems.
Mr. Obama took his estimate of $77 billion a year from a 2005 study by the RAND Corporation (which cautioned that reductions of that magnitude would not emerge for 15 years). The Congressional analysts found, however, that for various methodological reasons the RAND study was “not an appropriate guide” to potential savings.
This month, Mr. Obama’s health advisers tried to recast the debate so that the questioning of any one number would not undermine the plan’s broader credibility. They enlisted eight health policy experts to sign a letter that, without endorsing the math behind any single initiative, proclaimed it was “not only possible, but likely” that Mr. Obama could save $200 billion annually. They did not say by when.
Mr. Cutler, who helped collect the signatures, said he and his colleagues had decided “that our attempt to lay out one plausible scenario for the savings had created more problems than it had solved.” He added: “Putting the debate where this message puts it — do you believe we can save 8 percent of health spending through a major series of public and private reforms — asks the question in a way that is much more productive than the issue of ‘Do you believe a single estimate among many, many studies?’ ”
Mr. Obama’s economic policy director, Jason Furman, said the campaign’s estimates were conservative and asserted that much of the savings would come quickly. “We think we could get to $2,500 in savings by the end of the first term, or be very close to it,” Mr. Furman said.
The campaign won additional backing this week from Kenneth E. Thorpe of Emory University, an authority on health care costs who helped formulate Bill Clinton’s failed plan in 1993. In an assessment that he initiated in coordination with the campaign, Mr. Thorpe wrote that if all of Mr. Obama’s proposals were enacted they would reduce health spending by between $203 billion and $273 billion by 2012. He calculated that half of the savings would accrue to the federal government.
The Obama advisers said that while not all of the savings would translate into lower premiums, consumers would gain in other ways. The savings to employers would be passed along as higher wages, they predicted, and the savings to government would eventually mean either lower taxes or added benefits.
But whether employers and governments respond that way cannot be guaranteed, particularly in a difficult economy. And a number of health policy experts have questioned whether the $2,500 projection is either fiscally or politically realistic. Reducing health care costs, they emphasized, means taking money from someone’s pocket and rationing care that Americans have come to expect, a recipe for stiff resistance.
“There is no easy money because, as the saying goes, one person’s fraud and abuse is another person’s income,” said Joseph R. Antos of the American Enterprise Institute. “I wouldn’t think that four years or eight years or probably 10 years will be enough to see numbers of that sort.”
The Commonwealth Fund, a health research group in New York, published a study in December projecting that a robust overhaul consisting of 15 broad initiatives would generate savings of only 6 percent after 10 years. “Doing it by the end of a first term is ambitious and would require tough policies,” said Karen Davis, the group’s president.
Jonathan B. Oberlander, who teaches health policy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, called it wishful thinking. “Do they have the potential to generate significant savings in the long run?” Dr. Oberlander asked. “Yes. Do I believe they will produce substantial savings in the short run that can be used to finance Obama’s plan? No.”

Obama Couldn’t Be Cleared
10.17.08
By George H. Wittman
The lowest-ranking enlisted persons in the Armed Forces of the United States who are expected to handle sensitive matters in the scores of jobs involving classified equipment or written material must be investigated before obtaining their security clearance. Could Barack Obama gain such a clearance?
To begin, the clearance applicant would have to complete a detailed personal history form that includes, if necessary, government access to all health and education files. This is the starting point of all security investigations. Top Secret clearance involves a field investigation rather than the Secret version that is usually limited to a “name check” that is a basic police and public information file review. For the TS clearance an investigator will visit the home neighborhoods and work place sites of the applicant in search of supportive and/or derogatory references.
If the clearance is extended further into the handling of information of such importance that it requires a compartmented distribution, the field and document investigation is pursued with considerable vigor over a lengthy period of time. Nuclear and other sensitive technical or political matters fall into this category.
In all cases, whether on the lower level or up to the most sensitive intelligence, the background of the applicant’s personal and business involvement forms the nucleus of the initial phase of the investigation. The people with whom the applicant associates lead the investigator to personal connections and matters relative to the individual’s character, beliefs and past acts appropriate to matters of security.
Eligibility for clearance at all levels is directly influenced by the people with whom one associates. Yes, who your friends are and have been does count — a great deal. This is true, of course, in many types of police investigations where suspicion is adequate reason for further inquiry. In matters of security clearance, past associations often can mean the end of the process rather than just the beginning.
Considering Barack Obama as a candidate for a top secret security clearance status with a full array of compartmented clearances, one has to be cognizant of the fact that there is considerable evidence of associations and even assistance from individuals with past criminal records or who have expressed anti-American beliefs. Obviously admitted domestic terrorists William Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn, as well as recently convicted felon, Antoin “Tony” Rezko, fall into this category.
There is no possibility that a Top Secret clearance would be awarded to a member of the Armed Forces whose background included such associations. An intelligence service clearance for the handling of highly classified material would be totally out of the question.
IF THERE IS SOME hesitancy to accept that Barack Obama’s associations would have precluded his obtaining a TS clearance with compartmented information access, it should be realized he would have had to pass both a polygraph test and a personal psychological evaluation. What are the chances of his being willing to take these tests, to say nothing of his passing, in light of his refusal even to make his educational records available?
It may be deemed unfair, but a child of an American mother and a foreign-born non-U.S. citizen father always receives additional scrutiny. So does the fact that questions have arisen concerning the source of funding for Obama’s law school education. According to a well-researched article by Kenneth Timmerman (Newsmax), Obama was assisted financially by Khalid al-Mansour through the latter’s rich Saudi contacts. Mansour has been referred to as a “Black Nationalist and a Black Muslim” who was a mentor to the founders of the radical Black Panther Party of the 1960s.
All of these matters would have arisen in a normal security clearance. The harsh truth is that the United States is willing to accept presidential candidates like Barack H. Obama who could never gain a Top Secret clearance if he was simply a U.S. Army enlisted man. And yet Obama wants to be Commander-in-Chief. Something is wrong here!

– Natasha, enough with the cut and paste… –
Pay no attention to Natasha.. she is not even an American.. she is Russian, and is part of a plan by them to get McCain and Palin into the White House so Palin won’t be up in Alaska keeping track of their planes. Once elected, Palin will no longer be a threat and Alaska will be wide open and ripe for invasion!

The Associated Press
CHICAGO—These days, Bill Ayers doesn’t want to talk about the Weathermen, the Vietnam-era radical group he helped found that carried out bombings at the Pentagon and the Capitol.
That doesn’t mean the man who has become a political headache for Barack Obama is hiding his past. In fact, all you need to do is stand outside Ayers’ office at the University of Illinois in Chicago to be confronted with it.
Ayers’ connection to the Weather Underground is plastered on his door. A postcard for a documentary on the group shows an old mugshot of Ayers. Nearby is cover art from Ayers’ 2001 memoir, “Fugitive Days.”
But also affixed to the door is the title that reflects how Ayers, now 63, has become known in the past two decades in Chicago: distinguished professor.
“He gives of himself greatly to his students. He gives of his time, his energies, his commitment,” said Pamela Quiroz, an associate professor who works in the college of education with Ayers. “He is just a superb individual.”
Quiroz is among more than 3,200 people, mostly academics, who have signed an online petition protesting the “demonization” of Ayers during the campaign for the White House.
John McCain’s camp has accused Obama of “palling around with terrorists,” citing, among other things, a 1995 meet-the-candidate coffee that Ayers hosted at his home for Obama when the younger man launched his political career by running for state Senate. The two also served together on a Chicago school reform group and a charity board.
The subject flared up again during Wednesday’s final presidential debate when McCain said Obama needs to explain the full extent of his relationship with Ayers, whom he called “an old, washed-up terrorist.”
By all accounts, the two men were not close, and Obama has repeatedly denounced Ayers’ radical activities.
Ayers has declined repeated requests for interviews. This week, he opened his front door a crack to tell an Associated Press reporter, “I’m not talking, thanks.”
Ayers’ beige stone rowhouse on Chicago’s South Side is just a few blocks from Obama’s home. He lives there with his wife, former fellow radical Bernardine Dohrn. Now a law professor at Northwestern University, Dohrn was a fugitive for years with her husband until they surrendered in 1980 and charges against him were dropped because of government misconduct, which included FBI break-ins, wiretaps and opening of mail.
Although Ayers has refashioned his life from street-level revolutionary to intellectual, he has not entirely renounced his past.
When “Fugitive Days” was published, a photo accompanying a Chicago Magazine article showed him stepping on an American flag. He also told The New York Times, in an interview that appeared coincidentally on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001: “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.”
The Weather Underground claimed responsibility for bombings in the early 1970s at the U.S. Capitol, a Pentagon restroom and New York City police headquarters. No one was injured. In 1970, a Greenwich Village townhouse that the group was using to build a bomb blew up, killing three members, including Ayers’ girlfriend. The bomb, Ayers wrote in his memoir, was packed with screws and nails.
Had it been detonated, he admitted, it would have done “some serious work beyond the blast, tearing through windows and walls and, yes, people, too.” It belied the group’s claims that its targets were buildings, not people. “We did go off track … and that was wrong,” Ayers told the AP when his book came out.
“I’m not a terrorist,” he said at the time. “We tried to sound a piercing alarm that was unruly, difficult and, sometimes, probably wrong. … I describe what led some people in despair and anger to take some very extreme measures.”
Still, in Chicago, he is known more for his work in education, which has earned praise from Mayor Richard Daley, whose own father, the iron-fisted mayor of this city during the Vietnam era, famously sent police to do battle with anti-war demonstrators during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. This spring, when Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign first raised Ayers’ relationship with Obama, the younger Daley issued a statement defending him.
“I also know Bill Ayers,” Daley said. “He worked with me in shaping our now nationally renowned school reform program. He is a nationally recognized distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois-Chicago and a valued member of the Chicago community.”
Ayers has a doctorate in education from Columbia University in New York and has written or edited more than a dozen books, most about teaching. Ayers is on sabbatical this academic year but still spends time at his university office.
In an opinion piece this week in The Wall Street Journal, Sol Stern, a senior fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute who is writing a book on Ayers and social justice teaching, challenged the notion that Ayers is a reformed revolutionary. Stern said he has read most of Ayers’ work and concluded: “His hatred of America is as virulent as when he planted a bomb at the Pentagon.”
Scott Snyder, a UIC junior in chemical engineering who describes himself as a conservative, said he is uncomfortable with Ayers working at a public university.
“The majority of taxpayers probably would not appreciate their money being spent to somebody with a history of disrespecting numerous public institutions within the United States,” Snyder said.
“He spent his life sticking it to the man, where now he is employed by the man.”
UIC education professor Bill Schubert, who has known Ayers since he sat on the university committee that hired him in 1987, said the Ayers he knows is a Chicago Cubs fan and a good cook who invites colleagues, students and others over to his home for dinner.
But mostly Ayers is a good teacher, said Schubert, who recently wrote a letter about Ayers that he initially circulated among friends when questions about him began to mount. The piece, titled “The Bill Ayers I Know,” has since made its way to the Web and extols Ayers’ scholarly work and his commitment to teaching.
“I feel like I’m telling factual information about him,” Schubert said, “and I am saying that he’s a good colleague and friend.”
Still, Ayers’ past is a delicate matter. Schubert wanted to discuss only Ayers the educator, not Ayers the radical. Asked how he reconciled the two, Schubert paused for a long moment, then said: “That’s a question that’s too complicated to answer, I think, because it’s dependent on different conceptions of what he did.”

The only way for McCain to regain some credibility would be to say good-bye to the Bush aides and to Palin.
He is not his usual self. It was so clearly visible when he went to Letterman – there he showed the man he really is.
Had he remained true to himself he might have lost anyway but at least he would have fought a honourable campaign.
Now he looses not only the election but his honour and reputation too. In case he does not put a stop to it. Now.

Kandis, what about taking the time to go to FACTCHECK.COM where you can read what is really going on?

The breathtaking cynicism of the GOP–or what Richard Hofstadter used to call “the paranoid style in American politics”–is in full bloom on this thread and in this campaign.
It’s obvious you guys can’t find anything damning or disqualifying on Obama. Every last one of these manufactured outrages–ACORN, Ayers, Rezko, infanticide, teaching explicit sex-ed to kindergarteners–is hollow at the core, and you who are pushing these stories know that perfectly well.
You KNOW that ACORN is the victim, not the author, of the fake registrations, and that they work in good faith with state election boards to flag and remove them. You KNOW that fake registrations don’t lead to the casting of fake votes, for reasons that are perfectly obvious if you think about it for 3 seconds.
You KNOW that William Ayers has bugger-all to do with Obama’s platform for governing. He sat on a charity board with the guy? BFD.
Rezko: a property owner splits a lot in two, sells one part to Obama, the other to Rezko’s wife. This, on Planet Wingnut, is a gigantic scandal. On planet Earth, it’s an ordinary real estate transaction. They bought a house. They live in it.
But you’ll keep putting this stuff out there anyway, hoping some of it sticks. Becuase you obviously have nothing else to say to the voters, and you don’t want them thinking about how your party, with consummate insider John McCain, has run this country into the ground the last 8 years.
Lots of luck with that. People are tired of this circus crap. It’s the last refuge of the intellectually lazy blame-shifter who’s run the country off a cliff and desperately wants to fob the mess off on someone–anyone–else before impact.
Nuh-uh. This time, YOU get to hold the bag and take the pain. Come back next time with some real-world ideas and intellectually honest arguments. We need that in an opposition party.

Pay no attention to Natasha.. she is not even an American.. she is Russian.

ABC News Video: OBAMA OUT OF TUNE?
Obama: No Hand on Heart for National Anthem
http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=3759803

Obama would be a great film star…
(Btw, he is the one running for President – not Satah Palin!)
1. Yes, Sarah Palin is being drug around in the dirt because she is a Republican woman and how dare the person call Sarah a Caribou Barbie! That is one of the most sexist comments, yet. Also, for the one who called her “trailer trash” that just shows to me that it is not the Republicans who are elitists but the Democrats.This should be very offensive to those whose homes are trailers and who don’t make a six figure income.
2.It keeps coming up about the Bridge to Nowhere. Obama has ALSO been in favor of MANY things and then changed his mind….Israel/Pakistan…Russian/Georgia, etc. but NO-ONE dwells on that. In fact, he can’t make a decision; he just goes with the flow after asking dozens of advisors. He is charmismatic, I will give him that but charisma isn’t what we need. Some of you mentioned that McCain’s heroism doesn’t qualify him for the White House…well,okay then…neither does being a charismatic celebrity. Obama would be a great film star. He loves the spotlight. He’s an eloquent speaker. I’ve heard that John McCain is not. Hmmm…someone who’s become good at smoothly eloquent speaking probably has learned to make words work for him and twist them when necessary and people won’t even notice.
3. I’ve noticed that some are comparing Palin’s lack of experience and background to Obama. How come they are not doing the same comparison on McCain and Obama? Why is Joe Biden not the one that is being compared to her? At least, I have not seen much to that;maybe someone can fill me in on somewhere I could see this.
4. It seems Palin has so many sins in her life and McCain, too. Then,I guess the Democrats are without sin. They are presenting themselves as perfect. Too bad the voters are not nearly as perfect as Obama. In the Bible, there was a story about an adulteress that was getting ready to be stoned to death. Jesus told them “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” The Dems have done a great job of casting the stones and hitting Palin.
And, let’s not forget the Democrat who was President, and even though I’m not a Democrat, he did a decent job of the duties in office, yet he was an adulterer while in the office that he was elected to, disappointing Americans, but in this whole election,no one, not even the Republicans (except this one) has brought that up;(which is right thing NOT to do)maybe, it is because we all have skeletons in our closet. Have you ever thought what would come out if you ran for office?
5. The newstands are full of articles tearing Palin down, but I’ve yet to see the faces of Obama (the liberal media’s little darling) or Joe Biden on the covers presented in a negative way. I agree with one blogger who said that these publications are only ruining themselves. Let’s do real journalistic reporting…report the facts, Jack on both sides, both negative and positive and let the readers decide. I would absolutely LOVE to see an article in a mag that compares Obama to McCain and in the same mag Palin to Biden, side by side on issues, skeletons in the closets, biographies, awards and honors….maybe in the form of resumes so the American public could compare and then at the polls hire the ticket they think would be the best for the job.
6. Finally, and then, I’m through. I understand it may be good to understand the candidates’ views based on their faith but it is a little undeserving to undermine one for “praying” that God’s will be done. Our country was founded on a faith in the One True God, The Creator and our laws and values were built upon the Christian faith, but now, it’s not politically correct to be a Christian,no one must renounce their deep beliefs in order to please everyone. I couldn’t see one bit of hatred in the video that has been circulating where she spoke at her church in Alaska. Praying for someone does not cause hatred or racism or sexism. Their beliefs in their faith did not say they hated gays,only that they would be praying for them. And, in the privacy of a church building, they may do whatever (within the law) that they believe. Now that Obama has disowned his pastor, no one has mentioned anymore about how that church shaped his views. They are afraid to because of the venomous rhetoric that came from the pastor’s mouth. Does anyone know what Biden believes;have they gone to a church he attends or does he attend one? What about McCain? What are his religious values? So, then, why does that play into the equation with Palin? I could understand if she were part of an anti-government,hate religion. The most she could be convicted of in her faith is saying that she believes in praying to God, asking His will for the country. Go back in history to other presidents; many were men who prayed or sought God’s will. At least, the great ones did.
Thank you, both Republicans and Democrats for letting me air my feelings. How, sometimes I wish we didn’t have parties. I can’t stand the division and hatred that ensues. Especially when we say “United we stand, Divided we fall.” Let’s just let each other vote our consciences or faith or whatever standard and quit yelling at each other. I really hope that people in other countries don’t read our comments because it will show the United States are not so united after all. And…I will be praying for this election, that God will put in the candidates He wants (and, although I will vote Republican which is voting based on my faith) I know that whichever party gets in will be because God put them there “for such a time as this” and I will relax and support the Preident of the United States and respect the office.

I looked at Obama’s national healthcare program and there is a mention of subsidies without the mention of where the subsidies originate. That sound like socialized medicine and socialized medicine is worse than the healthcare we now have. I looked at Canada and use the reference from
http://www.theadvocates.org/freeman/8903lemi.html
and you can have that if you want. I have friends in England that tell me their healthcare is about as bad as Canada. I really do not care what you choose because I have all the coverage I need and it is free.
Moreover, the unemployed cannot pay any premium without subsidies from somewhere. If a person does not have a job, then that person will have to use a state welfare program that is readily available to qualified individuals.
Obama’s national healthcare program is crap. There is not sufficient tax money to pay for most of Obama’s pipe dreams that he calls programs. I guess the government must start printing worthless money again.

Obama is out of touch with the real numbers. Obama figures are much lower to make you think the national healthcare plan is feasible. Another sucker play designed to get the vote of the less educated voters.
Statement attributable to:
Nancy Nielsen, MD
AMA President
“As our nation continues to face a crisis of about 46 million uninsured, many Americans need to look no further than their own families and friends, or neighbors to find someone without health insurance. The uninsured problem does not discriminate; it affects each and every one of us, and everyone deserves better than the status quo. As members of Congress and presidential candidates gather at the conventions, it is vital that they address this important issue.
“Many patients don’t have access to needed health care as the economy’s health declines. Employer-based health insurance is no longer an option for many workers and their families, as employment-based coverage continued to decline in 2007, dropping to 59.3 percent. Americans need more affordable, portable health insurance options.
“U.S. health care spending continues to climb, driving up premiums, and pricing many patients out of coverage. Uninsured patients often don’t get the preventive care they need leading to more difficult and more costly conditions to treat. A good first step to address health care costs is to cover all Americans, ensuring they have better access to health care.
“The AMA proposal to cover the uninsured is a public and private approach that will make needed changes to today’s system. We advocate for a shift in tax incentives for health insurance so lower-income Americans get money to purchase coverage. We also want insurance market reforms to provide individuals more choices and ensure coverage for high-risk patients.
Despite a presidential veto, H.R. 6331, the “Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008,” passed with wide, bi-partisan majorities in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. See how your senators and representative voted. This bill now becomes law.
This legislation replaces the 10.6% payment cut that went into effect on July 1 with a 0.5% update extension through December 31, 2008. For calendar year 2009, the update will be 1.1%. Other important provisions such as extending the GPCI floor on physician work were also included.
This 18-month reprieve will also provide time for Congress to work with physicians on developing a long-term solution to a payment system that all agree is fatally flawed.
The Democrats cannot control the AMA.

The New York Times trashes Obama’s Health Care Plan…
Health Plan From Obama Spurs Debate
By KEVIN SACK
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/23/us/23health.html?_r=1&ref=policy&pagewanted=all&oref=slogin
It is one of the most audacious promises in a campaign that has been thick with them.
In speech after speech, Senator Barack Obama has vowed that he will lower the country’s health care costs enough to “bring down premiums by $2,500 for the typical family.” Moreover, Mr. Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has promised that his health plan will be in place “by the end of my first term as president of the United States.”
Whether Mr. Obama can deliver is a matter of considerable dispute among health analysts and economists. While there is consensus that the American health care system is bloated with waste, eliminating enough to save $2,500 per family would require simultaneous and synergistic solutions to a host of problems that have proved intractable for decades.
Even if the next president and Congress can muster the political will, analysts question whether significant savings would materialize in as little as four years, or even in 10. But as Mr. Obama confronts an electorate that is deeply unsettled by escalating health costs, he is offering a precise “chicken in every pot” guarantee based on numbers that are largely unknowable. Furthermore, it is not completely clear what he is promising.
His words about lowering “premiums” by $2,500 for the average family of four have been fairly consistent. But the health policy advisers who formulated the figure say it actually represents the average family’s share of savings not only in premiums paid by individuals, but also in premiums paid by employers and in tax-supported health programs like Medicare and Medicaid.
“What we’re trying to do,” said one of the advisers, David M. Cutler, in explaining the gap between Mr. Obama’s words and his intent, “is find a way to talk to people in a way they understand.”
The original arithmetic was somewhat basic. In May 2007, three Harvard professors who are unpaid advisers to the Obama campaign — Mr. Cutler, David Blumenthal and Jeffrey Liebman — produced a memorandum offering their “best guess” that a menu of changes would produce savings of at least $200 billion a year (it has since been revised to $214 billion). That would amount to about 8 percent of the $2.5 trillion in health care spending projected for 2009, when the next president takes office.
The memorandum attributed specific savings to several broad initiatives, with the numbers plucked from recent studies. Investments in computerized medical records would save $77 billion a year, the advisers wrote. Reducing administrative costs in the insurance industry would yield up to $46 billion. Improving prevention programs and chronic disease management would be worth $81 billion.
The total savings were then divided by the country’s population, multiplied for a family of four, and rounded down slightly to a number that was easy to grasp: $2,500. The average cost of family coverage bought through an employer was $12,106 in 2007, with workers paying $3,281 of that amount, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, a health research group.
Mr. Obama aspires to cover the country’s 47 million uninsured by requiring insurers to accept all comers, regardless of their health status, and by providing generous tax credits to low-income workers. The tax credits could be used to buy into a new federal health plan or private plans marketed through a government exchange.
The subsidies are expensive, estimated at well over $100 billion. Other components of the Obama plan also bear up-front costs, like a pledge to spend $50 billion over five years to speed the computerization of health records, $6 billion a year on tax credits to small businesses that provide coverage to workers, and an unspecified amount to buffer businesses from high-cost insurance claims.
The source Mr. Obama has identified to pay for them — the repeal of President Bush’s tax cuts for those making more than $250,000 — would cover only about half. That means additional health care savings would be needed, not only to keep premiums under control but also to help pay for the subsidies.
A consensus has emerged among health economists that at least a third of the country’s spending on health care is unnecessary. Both Mr. Obama, of Illinois, and his Republican rival, Senator John McCain of Arizona, agree that significant sums could be saved through reductions in unneeded procedures and improvements in electronic record-keeping, prevention and chronic disease management.
But the dollar values Mr. Obama has attached to individual components of his plan are beginning to attract scrutiny. In particular, the Congressional Budget Office issued a report in May questioning the amount to be saved from the computerization of health systems.
Mr. Obama took his estimate of $77 billion a year from a 2005 study by the RAND Corporation (which cautioned that reductions of that magnitude would not emerge for 15 years). The Congressional analysts found, however, that for various methodological reasons the RAND study was “not an appropriate guide” to potential savings.
This month, Mr. Obama’s health advisers tried to recast the debate so that the questioning of any one number would not undermine the plan’s broader credibility. They enlisted eight health policy experts to sign a letter that, without endorsing the math behind any single initiative, proclaimed it was “not only possible, but likely” that Mr. Obama could save $200 billion annually. They did not say by when.
Mr. Cutler, who helped collect the signatures, said he and his colleagues had decided “that our attempt to lay out one plausible scenario for the savings had created more problems than it had solved.” He added: “Putting the debate where this message puts it — do you believe we can save 8 percent of health spending through a major series of public and private reforms — asks the question in a way that is much more productive than the issue of ‘Do you believe a single estimate among many, many studies?’ ”
Mr. Obama’s economic policy director, Jason Furman, said the campaign’s estimates were conservative and asserted that much of the savings would come quickly. “We think we could get to $2,500 in savings by the end of the first term, or be very close to it,” Mr. Furman said.
The campaign won additional backing this week from Kenneth E. Thorpe of Emory University, an authority on health care costs who helped formulate Bill Clinton’s failed plan in 1993. In an assessment that he initiated in coordination with the campaign, Mr. Thorpe wrote that if all of Mr. Obama’s proposals were enacted they would reduce health spending by between $203 billion and $273 billion by 2012. He calculated that half of the savings would accrue to the federal government.
The Obama advisers said that while not all of the savings would translate into lower premiums, consumers would gain in other ways. The savings to employers would be passed along as higher wages, they predicted, and the savings to government would eventually mean either lower taxes or added benefits.
But whether employers and governments respond that way cannot be guaranteed, particularly in a difficult economy. And a number of health policy experts have questioned whether the $2,500 projection is either fiscally or politically realistic. Reducing health care costs, they emphasized, means taking money from someone’s pocket and rationing care that Americans have come to expect, a recipe for stiff resistance.
“There is no easy money because, as the saying goes, one person’s fraud and abuse is another person’s income,” said Joseph R. Antos of the American Enterprise Institute. “I wouldn’t think that four years or eight years or probably 10 years will be enough to see numbers of that sort.”
The Commonwealth Fund, a health research group in New York, published a study in December projecting that a robust overhaul consisting of 15 broad initiatives would generate savings of only 6 percent after 10 years. “Doing it by the end of a first term is ambitious and would require tough policies,” said Karen Davis, the group’s president.
Jonathan B. Oberlander, who teaches health policy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, called it wishful thinking. “Do they have the potential to generate significant savings in the long run?” Dr. Oberlander asked. “Yes. Do I believe they will produce substantial savings in the short run that can be used to finance Obama’s plan? No.”

It’s very disheartening to see John McCain stoop to this level, especially after being a victim of the same tactics in 2000. I never thought the day would come where this man would blatantly sell his soul like this. The “country first” mantra is dead now. John McCain is all about himself and he’s taking members of his own party down with him by sub-marining their campaigns with these garbage ads.
If this is a preview of how John is going to run his administration I want no part of it. I saw Bush run this exact kind of campaign and we got 8 years of idiocy. McCain, if you don’t want to be compared to Bush then why are you borrowing his playbook? Why can’t you win on the issues or at least go down in defeat with some honor, some dignity? You’re not only going to lose this election but you’re going to lose a lot of respect.
I felt bad for you when Bush smeared you and your family in 2000. You were my choice for President then and you had my vote sealed this year up until a month ago. I let a lot of the negative campaigning go in the last few weeks but the recent rallies and now these robocalls are too much to take. You don’t sound like a man I can trust anymore. When I hear “Maverick” I cringe. You’re just another politician to me now…and you lost my vote.

This campaign has been a mudslinger , it just goes to show that people will believe anything you tell them , our nation was built on Christianty by our early forefathers and it seems that we have gotten away from that .If paying more taxes will get our country out of a crisis so be it . If mcCian want to win the White House by lying he will not be successful , look at Bush , the worse President in the history of mankind all because he stole the election . We do not need a another lair in the white House ……….VOTE OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you see how the elites Obama/Biden slammed Joe the plumber. It is laughable
Joe the plumber, Bob the builder, Jill the nurse will end up paying more taxes for their success whereas Obama the politician, Bill Ayers the terrorist “professor”, Rev Wright the sick preacher, Farrakhan the racist, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton ( where is he these days) , Pelosi/Reid the socialist income distributors will have a FREE reign destroying the country
A McCain Democrat from Massachusetts…

With the inclusion now of his campaign, how many planes will he have crashed by November 4th? And which plane had his integrity in it?

If I hear one more wing nut complain about the liberal media, I’m going to retch. Just weeks ago, when Palin was the new flavor of the month at the GOP convention, the press fawned all over her and her kids. Then we all got to know her and hear her thoughts, such as they are. Look, the media are front runners. They try to tear down everyone, and then when the dust settles, they go with the winner. If editors have any bias in favor of Obama now, it’s only because the contrast between the honor and truthfulness of McCain-Palin and Obama-Biden is so stark (facts matter to the media, and they can only take so much lying before they are offended and start to lean in their coverage). With facts favoring Obama and polls growing more and more one-sided, the media are following along. It has NOTHING to do with the reporters’ politics. Wing nuts need to accept the fact that the media would be along for the ride with McCain if he were ahead. That’s just the way it is.

Is the repugnant party, the party of Lincoln…I think not…why can’t you realize both your candidates are standing in a house of glass and mirrors…you claim Obama is palling around with terrorist…when your own Parrot husband is in the AIP a seccessionist group, a real domestic terrorist group, but you gloss over that, McSlime was involved in the Keating 5 with his wife and fatherinlaw, a note mob figure…so before you start throwing dirt…turn the mirror your way and look at your candidates…last but not least Parrot’s pastor said that the Jews were being murdered in Israel because they refuse to accept Jesus…if you were really Christians, you would know this is not so…if you want to talk Rev Wright…we talk about Parrots preachers.
Go Obama/Biden 08

Lighthead, pleeease don’t let the facts get in the way of your propaganda. The facts are that ACORN pays volunteers to register voters. The volunteers get paid by the hour. Some volunteers filled out a bunch of fake registration cards. BY LAW, ACORN is NOT allowed to throw out those registration cards, ONLY to flag them. The registrations in question WERE FLAGGED by ACORN as being suspicious. It is then up to the state to follow through. If you want to know about dirty tactics, why don’t you read, “How to Rig an Election: Confessions of a REPUBLICAN operative” in which Allen Raymond talks about the tactics used by the Republican party to rig the elections and in which he spent time in jail for.

Ha Ha, Chris Matthews was stunned, because he had a tingle up his leg which happened to be his stuff bouncing off his to*let when Joe the Plumber did not visit him to fix.
All Plumbers boycott the MSM liberal media

The story says Sen. Collins didn’t agree with the tactics not that the information was false. The Obama media (ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, CNN, NYT etc.etc.) is trying to give the impression Obama isn’t tried to a terrorist. Sen. Collins is probably worried some of the loons (like the majority of the posters here) will be stupid enough to start burning and looting – which is just a matter of time anyway. Sadly, the U.S. is in the beginning stages of changing from a nation of paid producers to becoming a nation of paid consumers (Democratic voters).

But three Weather Underground members accidentally killed themselves while making bombs in New York City in 1970. In 1981, two police officers and a security guard were killed when other members of the group committed an armed robbery.

IT IS EXPECTED FROM MCCAIN AND THE REPUBLICANS. THEY KNOW THE ONLY WAY TO TRY TO WIN THIS ELECTION IS GOING NEGATIVE. THEY CANNOT TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE A RECORD TO SHOW WHAT THEY WILL DO IF THEY ARE ELECTED. BARACK OBAMA IS WINNING, CHECK THE RECENT POLLS. THAT IS WHY THEY (REPUBLICANS) GO NEGATIVE. REPUBLICANS YOU HAVE DESTROYED THIS NATION. YOU ARE SPENDING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS PER MONTH IN AN ILLEGAL WAR: IRAQ. AMERICANS CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY HEALTH INSURANCE (IT IS SO EXPENSIVE); THEY SAY THIS IS THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH. HOW CAN THEY SAY THAT WHEN AMERICANS CANNOT AFFORD HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUMS; WHEN WE HAVE TO FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY BECASUE WE CANNOT PAY OUR MEDICAL BILLS; WE HAVE TO SELL OUR HOMES TO PAY FOR OUR MEDICAL BILLS. THEY CALL THIS IS THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH? GIVE ME A BREAK. WE HAVE TO ELECT BARACK OBAMA TO FIX THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM ONCE AND FOR ALL. REPUBLICANS WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT. REPUBLICANS WILL NOT END THE IRAQ WAR. ON THE CONTRARY, REPUBLICANS CREATE WARS. LET’S ELECT BARACK OBAMA. GET RID OF REPUBLICANS.

McCain should have beaten Bush 8 years ago if he wanted to be the better President that bad.
The real and loving God will not let a fool like McShame win. If McThief manages to steal this election, his sentence in would be eternity in Hell not in Hanoi.
McCain is not a bad person, he is just a very negative and contemptuous person when he can’t get his way.

The decent Republicans who want McSame to stop this foolishness knows that this negative campaigning is not only hurting him, but it will backfire on themselves who are running for re-election..If he keeps this up, there won’t be one Republican left in office because they all will be voted out of office…people are sick of this negative trash as there are more important things that are on people’s minds out there such as lost jobs, high gas prices, foreclosed homes, etc..Keep up the good works John…Obama 08

I’m in PA…we haven’t received one of these robocalls yet. Please put me on the Do Not Call list! This is worse than telemarketing!
Americans are fed up. They want this election fight over. Just put Obama in the White House and get it over with.
And speaking of PA, why does McCain sinsist he’ll win this state? He’s down by double digits in most polls here.

McCain-Palin’s WEAK campaign and their supporters’ evil tactics, strategies, schemes, plots, and plans towards Sen. Barack Obama –this nation’s next Commander-in-Chief — will NEVER prevail !
You [ Barack Obama], are from God and have overcome them [the enemy's attacks, schemes, and plots ] , because the one [God] who is in you [ Barack Obama] is greater than the one [the enemy ] who is in the world. – 1 John 4:4

It’s time for this country to turn the page and seek a new and better future for ourselves and our children.It’s time for REAL change in Washington, it’s time to elect Barack Obama for president !
Obama-Biden are the wiser and stronger team to solve the crucial challenges we have in this nation and abroad !
Amen.

McCain’s association with Liddy isn’t news. The Chicago Tribune covered it back in May, when the Clinton campaign was roadtesting the McCain campaign’s tactics. Let’s compare:
* Bill Ayers participated in bombing a statue, the New York Police headquarters, the U.S. Capitol, and the Pentagon. G. Gordon Liddy participated in a White house plot to subvert the Constitution.
* Ayers has never been convicted or served prison time. Liddy was convicted of conspiracy, burglary, and illegal wire-tapping, was senteced to 20 years, and served 5.5 until President Carter commuted his sentence.
* Ayers is now a professor of education. Liddy is a conservative talk radio host.
* Ayers has said “we didn’t do enough” to stop the Vietnam War, a statement interpreted by some to mean he thinks he should have set off more bombs in the early 1970s. In 1994, after the feds stormed the branch Davidian compound in Waco, Liddy said on his radio program, [sorry, rough language coming] “Now if the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms comes to disarm you and they are bearing arms, resist them with arms. Go for a head shot; they’re going to be wearing bulletproof vests. … Kill the sons of bitches.” (And as for Liddy on Hitler….)
* Ayers and his wife hosted a campaign event at his house for Obama in 1995. Liddy hosted a campaign event for McCain in 1998.
* Ayers donated $200 to Obama in 2001. Liddy has given at least $5,000 to McCain over the years, including $1,000 this year.
* Senator Obama has called Ayers’ terrorist acts “despicable” and condemned them. Senator McCain appeared on Liddy’s radio show last November and said, “I’m proud of you, I’m proud of your family…. It’s always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great.”
I’m not going to bother with quantifying the sins of Ayers and Liddy. And please note, I offer no defense of Ayers here. Go ahead, assume the worst of both men, and you can say, as does Chapman, that each man “back in the 1970s, extolled violence and committed crimes in the name of a radical ideology — and… has never shown remorse or admitted error.”
It’s simple: if you think Ayers is a voting issue, then you must think Liddy is a voting issue. Have fun voting for Barr or Nader.

Come on folks, John is just trying to beat Obama so him and Cindy won’t have to share any of their wealth with the middle class. Heaven forbid that Obama should even consider spreading the wealth around so that the rich have a little less and the middle class and poor can have a little more. In my opinion the robo calls are the lowest form of mud slinging and I would never vote for a candidate that feeds that close to the bottom of the swamp. When I see Cindy McCain standing behind John and she is wearing clothing and jewelry that cost more than I have left in my 401k after a lifetime of saving and having a large percentage of it sucked away by the close friends of John McCain and in addition to that McCain has the nerve to belittle Obama for wanting to spread the wealth, it absolutely makes me sick.

Look at this large group of McCain-Palin voters and ask yourself what kind of people they are — and what they tell you about John McCain and Sarah Palin. http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/238063.php

I like Susan Collins – she’s my state Senator, & she’s done some good things. And I am proud that she stood up to these monstrous & evil robo-calls, though I think she should have said they don’t belong in ANY politics, not just Maine. I’ve early-voted for Allen this year, though I think the country desperately needs Moderate Republicans, because I feel the McCain/Palin ticket is so bad, so wrong, & so dangerous that any support for it negates the good will built up previously – and Susan Collins supports that ticket. I wrote to tell her this, though I know it won’t matter to her campaign. But I’m still pleased she spoke up.

Mr. McCain is once again using any means to reach the end as he sees it should be. The moral high road is a “road to no where” for McCain and Palin. The members of the GOP (isn’t that “Grand Old Party”?)are dismayed and don’t know where to turn. Their candidate will do anything with no boundaries and many are not going to support him. If this is how he acts now, imagine if he and Palin are “in charge”. Frightening.

AMERICA DO NOT VOTE FOR MARXIST OBAMA!
AMERICA SAY NO TO OBAMA’S…
“US COMMUNIST EXPERIMENT”

Susan Collins has a history of being given a pass by the republican leadership to vote across the aisle when her vote doesn’t matter.
This is the same, appearing to be critical of McCain/Palin outrageous conduct when her criticism means nothing. Sen Collins, prove you are serious by resigning from your post as McCain/Palin Co-Chair, throw your support to Obama, urge your supporters to do likewise. Then we can believe you really mean it.

Republicans know they are going down to a resounding defeat. Therefore they are resigned to act like a kid that is constantly saying and doing off the wall things because they have nothing to contribute but nevertheless wants to be noticed. Don’t worry republicxans you’ll have 8 years or more to get you act and I do mean act together.
Barack Obama the POTUS for all Americans.

Michelle is one ugly ass, angry militant racist gorilla, dontcha think?
ugggghh, go back to Kenya b*tch!

Susan Collins..you can have her. She’s not a conservative.

When I see some of the repulsive, outright racist comments of some of the posters here, it only makes my support for McCain even stronger.
I’ve voted Democrat in the past. Given the behavior of the Obama campaign, and some of their supporters, it might be a very long time before I do so again.
The Obama Party is going to have to live down a very shameful campaign when this is over.
It’s one thing for Obama to lose—which we all know is going to happen—but does he have to go out on such a low, with his reputation in tatters and his image forever stained? I can’t believe I once liked and respected this man.

I am a regestered Republican and to say that I am outraged by the campaign that Sen. McCain and Sara Palin are running is an understatement. McCain has allowed himself to believe the hate and garbage spewed forth by members of his campaign and has tarnished his own image as an american hero and maverick, that had sought to do the right thing for America and the american people all of his life. He says on live TV that no Sen. Obama is not an Arab but a good and decent American and then allows the disgusting antics of his campaign to continue, speaks volumns about his character and judgement. In these times of overwhelming stress and hard times for the middle class, he thinks that a redistribution of some of Americas wealth is wrong. Well Mr. McCain where does all of the wealth of the super rich and our wealhiest corporations come from? From the backs of the American People who go to work everyday and keep the american economy running. who do you think works at these companies that produce the goods and services that bring so many millions of dollars to the to the super rich and our wealthiest corporations. But because the CEO’S and other executives no longer are able to live on a mere 20 million dollars a year they cut out incentives and perks for the working class like health benefits, pensions and so on because they now need 400 million dollars a year just to get by that must be some stressful time for them between paychecks. Mr McCain this is the 21st century and your chance has come and gone, you are not in touch with what is going on in our country today, and I know that you are upset because George W, that booze swilling coke snorting holligan got his chance to screw up the country before you did and then messed it up for you, but it is time for you to gather your hatemongering friends and pack up your petty, hateful and divisive bag of tricks and go home to one of your 7 houses and your income of several million dollars a year and just fade away with what little diginity you still have left. Get over yourself and accept that this is a new generation and your old hateful, racist and divisive views are way out of touch.

Pam yes I am and I have been for 35 years, and I am no ones hack! You may believe in the views of McCain and Bush that have taken our proud and prosperous nation into such a steep decline that is your right but I happen to believe that we need a new direction and John McCain is not the right person to steer the ship. We have lost way to much American treasure and way to much American Blood for the warped ideas of George W and his followers. You must also believe that the Iraq war was a necessity something we had to do. Did you see the mushroom clouds on the horizion. How is your 401K, still in your house, could you live just fine without all of the degenerates that are dragging our super society down, I bet you could. Stop being such a koolaid drinker such a follower open up your mind and have a thought of your very own however taxing that might be on you. If you can’t then you might be as described by you so intellegently just be a hack period.

The poison from John McCain’s robo calls are scaring young children all across America who are frightened by the malicious lies being said about Obama. These terrified children, who answer the telephone calls, believe America is being attacked by terrorists. John McCain, we have laws to protect children against such abuse. These robo calls are criminal behavior and you and your thugs should be punished to the full extent of the law.

Vote for a real leader this time instead of a misleader who poses as a “maverick”, but is nothing but Bush in every way. From running our country into a record economic ditch, to lying about Iraq, policies that destroy and disrespect our environment, wildlife, citizens rights and more. The Republicans have done a fine job of destroying our country in a way that would make Bin Laden sit back and laugh. You all remember him. He is the one who master minded 911 and is still free. A terrorists greatest hope was fulfilled when America let George Bush become President and maybe now Mccain. If you hate a country your dreams are made real when the people elect a fool. Let’s not let this happen again. Vote for a real leader. Vote for Obama!

I just got one of these robocalls. It is offensive, extremely negative, and an invasion of my privacy. These calls should be outlawed! Is character assasination the GOP’s mode of conduct now? What about the issues???
