In the Ohio Papers This Morning

The McCain/Palin ticket is the first in American history in which both candidates were found to have violated ethics standards before a national election.

” … undermines the integrity of the election system.”

I WAS A FIREFIGHTER FOR 30 YEARS AND I KNOW IF I HAD BROKE THE ETHICS LAW OF MY STATE OR CITY I WOULD HAVE BEEN TERMINATED. I GUESS IT IS NOT THE SAME FOR A GOVERNOR.

If Obio does not elect for a real change it will be repeating history and misery of the last 8 years.

That’s Obama leading by 3 in OH. Nationally he’s leading 7.7 in the averages.

geevill; sounds like some place in Afghanistan

Obama’s got Ohio. The Republicans are NOT motivated at all.

hay geevill; Bush-Gramm- Rove- McCain- doled out a trillion US tax dollars to their super rich buddys

Thanks to ABC News for keeping Obama supporters on the line talking.
Look at who and how you have to defend when you’re an Obama supporter. Wooten (seems like a bad apple), Monegan (seems like a pansy that can’t resist ‘pressure’), Toledo Blade (’nuff said), giving Hillary the boot (how’s that feel Gov. Strickland?), Pelosi (oh, so now offshore drilling is doable huh?), Michele Obama (glad you’re finally proud of your country, you do know Ohio is a state in that country, right?), Rezko-Ayers-Wright (what a load) — the list goes on.
Oh yeah, ethics. Glad Wooten never got the chance to actually do harm to Palin’s sister. Now that the national spotlight is on him, he’ll be a good little man-child.
Oh yeah, ethics. Four out of the Keating Five were democrats. Glenn (remember him Ohio) was one of them.

Hate to break it to you but in EVERY suburb in and around Columbus (except for the downtrodden ghetto’s) you see ZERO .. ZERO Obama signs! All you see are McCain/Palin signs .. that’s just a fact and unless the Obama campaign picks them up the night before the GE and forces them to sleep overnight at the voting booth – you know they won’t show up to vote! Ouch!

ACORN PUSHES BACK:
ACORN denied the charges. “For more than a decade, ACORN members have held protests, released reports and advocated for regulations to protect homeowners from predatory lenders,” ACORN president Maude Hurd said in a statement. “If John McCain thinks that community organizers caused the foreclosure crisis, he knows even less about the economy than previously thought.”

The BBC did a really good piece on the truth about ACORN saying that:
ACORN IS THE SMOKE SCREEN FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY… KNOWING THAT THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE RATHER THAN ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE BAD POLICIES AND IDEAS THEY INTEND TO BLAME IT ON ACORN…
SHOULD THE ELECTION BE CLOSE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL TRY TO USE THE COURTS TO ELECT THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES INTO OFFICE…
THIS IS THE GAME PLAN FOX IS SETTING THE GROUND WORK!

“Actually, Bill Ayers is the Evil Master Mind behind this whole thing. He’s running the whole show.”

I dont think Obama will WIN Ohio, they dont want a black liberation racist with hardly any experience as President.
I think McCain will win Ohio comfortably, Obama will be trounced there like what happened during the Dem primaries.

McCain/Palin-08

Okay Buckeye people.
If your life today is beter than it was 8 years ago, vote for McSame and the Alaskan Separatist.

I just voted for McCain in Ohio. Yep gotta love absentee. I went to Ohio State so I can still vote there.

“the post election contests and litigatio will last weeks if not months.”

What’s happening here is something we have never seen before: centrist Clinton Democrats and Republicans are working together to expose the DNC and Obama campaign’s illegal activities and orchestrated, coordinated fraud. Both parties are working with federal agents to investigate ACORN, which has been funded with upwards of $800,000 in questionable donations from the Obama campaign (in what appears to be the expressed and explicit direction to engineer voter fraud in the general election). The tactics being employed now in the 15 states currently under investigation are the VERY SAME TACTICS we saw on the ground in Iowa, Texas, Colorado, Nebraska, Indiana, and other states working for Hillary Clinton in the primaries.
And all of this ties back to Chicago.
Where the Obama campaign and DNC are now based.

Marcus, we have obama signs all over our neighborhood, because we don’t want our houses set on fire or the windows broken out or what ever else someone can thin of the be mean. We have to be silent about our vote…hope we will be able to vote as we like when we get to the polls.

Women must unite against the liberal media biased treatment against Vice President Sarah Palin
1. She is not yet VP. She is just a candidate.
2. Her unethical behavior includes making her employees break statutes. How would you like to be forced to choose between following the law and losing your job?
Her denial that she broke the law is the worst thing about this. The Republican majority on the committee say she broke state ethics statutes. That is not a media issue. IF YOU DID IT< YOU WOULD BE FIRED.
3. Her use of Yahoo to avoid Freedom of Information requests shows she is not a person who is willing to serve the people. And her unethical behavior in the Yahoo case, which has not yet been heard in court, includes making her people use Yahoo too, to avoid scrutiny by the public, including women's rights groups.
If you used a personal email system, without SECURITY REQUIRED BY STATUTE, you would be fired. If you used a personal email system instead of the state system, and your emails were all posted on the internet, YOU WOULD BE FIRED.
She is behaving in an unethical manner and many millions of women are not going to be fooled by calls to vote for a women, just because she is not a man. We have come further than that. There are lots of qualified women and Palin is not one of them. Her biggest qualfication seems to be the willingness to keep on denying, even after the report is clear that she abused her power, and put her employees in a bind by making them break the statutes too. She is making her employees break state law by using Yahoo to avoid oversight by groups of citizens, including women's groups.

Right-wing racist are the real terrorist plaguing this great nation.
Obama/Biden 08!

With Dems leading both houses of Congress, if Obama gets elected, the redistribution of wealth in America is ready and waiting.
That would be the McCain plan to give $300 billion of taxpayer money to the banks, in the amount of the difference between the value of the original mortgages and the current value of the homes.
Redistributing the wealth, eh? You right wingers talk a good game but your usual chit chat makes no sense in the light of your Presidential candidate’s give-away proprams for the rich and famous.

Word out of Washington this morning says the Congressional Dems are all ready with another welfare handout from the Federal Government, if Obama is elected.
****************************************
That is called a stimulus package, one that you will be glad to receive. I am sure you will not be sending it back.

One vote. Does not matter how many registrations there are. Republicans looking for a scapegoat in Acorn. Only a sucker would fall for it!
Obama/Biden 08!

Huffington Post – why should we care about anything on Huffington Post?? That is the same site that savaged Hillary with smears and lies.
Try again, Aussie. We don’t give a damn about what comes from Huff.
ROFLMAO!
PUMA! McCain/Palin 2008 – In lieu of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
“No self respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party which ignores her sex.” – Susan B. Anthony

I see what is being done to McCain similar to what was done to Clinton in the primaries. I disagree with much of McCain’s policies but no one who has served our country the way McCain and the Clintons have deserve to be r*ace baited and accused of running a racist and negative campaign when they are doing nothing of the sort. I’m sick of Obama getting away with having his surrogates play the race card while he looks innocent.

There was much merriment in the ACORN audience when Obama told them that they’ll get to shape the agenda before even the inauguration of the fixed-elected candidate if their choice.
Kinda reminded me of the happy B0bots proudly shapping the platform of the democratic party – a slightly more appropriate carrot thrown by Obama.
And then someone asked: What agenda?
And I thought back on the question: what platform?
Could be the one jettisoned wholesale under the excuse of the bailout?
Should the ACORN election thieves look at the reward before engaging in the crime?
It’s probably too late.
For those who missed it: Obama’s agenda is power. Aquisition and consolidation. The Democratic party, ACORN, B0bots shall all find under the bus with the speed of lightning once that’s done.
And much as the karmic prospect of this happening is satisfying, I’d rather they don’t get the chance to find out.

Aussie really doesn’t ‘have-a-dog in this hunt’,if he is not a US citizen. What he has to say should be moot. (wonder about obama’s citizenship)
Can you imagine waking up on Nov. 5, to pick up the newspaper and the headline reads:
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
BARACK HUSSIEN OBAMA

the anger is amping up because this campaign marks the beginning of the end of the republican party.
david brooks nailed it with observations about how the GOP has pushed away all intellectual curiosity and debate about IDEAS.

Black Caucus member Barack Obama (D-Chicago) later charged on WVON and in the Chicago Defender that the Black Caucus “is not functioning as it should.”
Obama’s is concerned about the lack of an unified agenda.
Obama voted against the gambling bill based on the belief it offered little
to blacks in economically deprived areas and is a regressive tax.’
OBAMA only worried about black interests.

ACORN is giving the dead an opporunity to vote in the election. Evil republicans are preventing the dead from voting. ACORN is a scam, they have long been able to take advantage of the system and they have been cought with their hand in the cookie jar. Dems are angry because they were counting on the vote of the dead.

Yes, I love the video of Obama telling the ACORN members, and all of the other community organizing groups, that they will play a big part in forming Obama’s agenda should he be elected.
Maybe they can all get together and swap ideas on how to rig every other aspect of American life.

Im not here to slag off your Country!
I actualy love you guys (most of you) I miss the America that used to be respected.
If you want to talk enviomental record that fine with me.
Which country is the only one to not have signed the Kyoto protocol ?
Hint mine has !
Which country has the second larges amount of forrest providing clean air ?
The first is Brazil…
Hint the second isnt yours!
Which country has the cleanest oceans in the world ?
Hint it not yours!
Im hoping America will this time elect the smart guy…
Remember when America used to be the good guy ? I do and I want that back!
Thats why I want Obama!

I’m sorry for my hateful comments above…I do understand that a President is for all the country people and not just for who voted for him…
I will be an adult from now and support the President whoever it is..
Apologies again

Here is news for all you GOPERS out there- the DEMOS are going to take this election by hook or crook and there is very little you can do to stop it. Stay home, save time, and gas!

The October Surprise—Suit To Remove Barack Obama From The Ballot. Barack Obama And The Democratic National Committee Is Committing Fraud On The American People

Please watch Fox News tonight 9 p.m. the Hannity & Colmes program which will give details on Obama’s early past radical ties with radical professors, etc. News that the liberals don’t want us to hear.
Knowledge is power. Life free or die.

I remember when America used to be the Good Guy!
I want that back… This time I want America to vote in the smart guy!
I think Obama is not “that one” but rather “the one” to put America back on the right track!

“The October Surprise—Suit To Remove Barack Obama From The Ballot. Barack Obama And The Democratic National Committee Is Committing Fraud On The American People”
You dear dear uniformed person, I feel sorry for you.
You need to read more and get out more…you can look up the bills that Obama supported and if you can read, read them all and please, go to fact check org and learn.
They don’t just pick on McCain for saying stuff, they pick on Obama as well, to me, that is truth telling.

Yes, it is amazing all of the “irregularities” Obama appears to be getting away with in his reports to the FEC.
“Lights and staging” that are actually get out the vote activites, and donors with names like pffjjj, and orrrhhee, who come from God only knows where.

More knowledge…Are you kidding me? Fox news runs along the fringe of biasness. I wouldn’t believe anything they have to report. Even their scroll is inaccurate.My best friend, a republican has been going to fact check,because even she is smart enough to figure out that Fox is full of liars. Sadly, she is still supporting McCain. Some people don’t like change, but I love her still.

what a joke,, the idea of obama “leading” the country.
he’s never led on anything.. he never will

Aussie, you are correct. The Republicans did have control for a long time, and didn’t do enough to stave off this down fall…but that is their only crime in this. That they didn’t pursue this with more ferocity.
But the bottom line is….Fannie Mae was created back in the 30′s by Franklin Delano Roosevelt.*Democrat.
Carter added to this program in the 70′s by starting these subprime loans…and Clinton added more to it, making it illegal not to give these loans to people with no money, no jobs and no means of paying these loans back. Clinton even went so far as to admit it was because of his policy, and his administration that started this rolling.
For years, several Republicans came forward, to get something done about it, and the Democrats blew them off. The Republicans knew that Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac were Democrats toys…if you will. When the Republicans did come to the floor to warn, they were called racists, and told nothing was wrong, and there weren’t problems.
Barney Franks.*Democrat….in July, when this was broached again, said nothing was wrong…everything was fine.
Franks,Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, are names complicit in this mess. All should stand before Congress and answer for their inaction on this.
Obama is number 2 behind Dodd for having gotten contributions from these 2entities. Franks was, or is having a relationship with one of the execs from tI believe it’s Fannie Mae. That’s conflict of interest. Dodd got a sweetheart loan deal out of his complicity in this mess.
Obama is in thick with ACORN, who started the ball rolling on this mess years ago. They practically stalked, and embarrassed, and muscled bank presidents into giving out these loans.

what a joke…McCain leading a country. He can’t even control his running mate.

If you want a Soviet style of redistribution of wealth vote Obama.
Posted by: Jen | Oct 12, 2008 12:47:40 PM
****************************************
Jen, you are absolutely right. The voters that will be voting for Obama are mostly “freeloaders”, waiting for a handout not realizing just what it does to our country. This didn’t work in Russia, and it is not going to work here.

Miki said: what a joke…McCain leading a country. He can’t even control his running mate.
Miki, do you realize that Obama, and Joe Biden aren’t even on the same page? At the VP Debate when the question was asked about gay marriage being made legal…both Joe, and Sarah emphatically said NO. They did not agree with gay marriage, and Joe went on to say that and Barack were not for it.
Yet Obama is for it. Is that Obama not in control of his VP candidate?

Jen – I understand perfectly what you meant. I just want to make sure YOU do.

Jen, you are absolutely right. The voters that will be voting for Obama are mostly “freeloaders”, waiting for a handout not realizing just what it does to our country. This didn’t work in Russia, and it is not going to work here.
**************************************
You just lumped in over half the country in that statement!
A little out of touch with reality I think. You probably just don’t want to pay your taxes. Just want those government protections for free I guess. Going to let youyr grandchildren pay for Iraq, this economic collasps, Afganastan, The miltary budget, Etc.. It would seem to me that you Republicans who are not “free loading “would want to pay for the services they recieve.

If Obama wins, enjoy no improvement in the economy…more Fannie Freddie type manipulations of the market…worse and worse…
Iran also just set preconditions for Obama…all US forces out…shows how talk, talk, talk will go with them
Enjoy!

Polly – I work at a high school and only one of my colleagues plans to vote for McCain. I also know plenty of other working people voting for Obama.
So let me get this straight – you’re saying that most of the 18,000,000 people who voted for him in the primaries are “freeloaders.” I don’t think so.

Polly, do you want a cracker?
Please the ignorant people who truly believe that the hard working backbone of American workers want a handout shoue move to RUssia!
Barack is no more a Socialist redistributing wealth than Palin is qualified to be POTUS. NOT! If Palin got the VP nod through her qualifications – then being pretty and an airhead who can act was the job requirement.
Obama will the greatest and most loved POTUS of our time. The history books f our grandchildren will quote him daily.

And once again, the racist card is played.
Gawd that argument is so pathetic.
I am not telling anyone who to vote for. Free country, free choice. But the facts, and all the articles coming out now, speak for themselves. This isn’t something that suddenly came up…this is something that’s been brewing for years.
The facts speak for themselves..and I have been to liberal sites, and seen this wicked vitriol for myself. I’ve seen the ebay page of some liberals selling Trig Palin for $40. I’ve seen the pages, and innuendos’ and rumors. Todd Palin and incest with his daughters? The paternity and demands for tests, on Trig, and Sarah? Running her child thru the mud.
Racism goes both ways people. It’s just ashame that I Have not used any vicious racial comments. I only voice my opinion, and because it doesn’t jive with yours, it’s declared racist. I have watched, and I have scolded those who have made racial , or shameful remarks toward Obama, or anyone else, as I don’t agree with that type of commentary toward anyone. ANYONE!!!
Yet I have sat here and watched name calling, and seen comments that are just offensive. Not only toward ones beliefs, but their geography now? That’s a weak argument, and I’m so tired of it.
Where is the condemnation of the comments made toward Mrs. Palin and her family? None. I’ve seen none. I’m sure you sit, and giggle at them, laugh at them, agree with them. That would make you….racist!

Fascinating, given as much beating as McCain is taking from the media he still leads in Ohio. This thing could still go his way in the end. America never ceases to amaze me.

Concerned in OH
I dont have to read that Ive watched over here the whole history from Australian news agencies that have no dog in the hunt!
Fanie and freddie are not the start of this economic mess the US has unleshed on the word! They are just where it ended!
The simple and quickest way to explain it is this:
Clinton left office with a surplus of $559 billion
Bush the budget deficit for the coming fiscal year will be a record $482 billion, although that’s likely a low-ball estimate.
Your national Debt under Clinton $355 billion
Your national debt now $10.2 trillion
You have for the first time a government that borrows money from China to pay for a war in Iraq!
You have never had a President give tax cuts at a time of war till bush.

Jennifer Brunner holds the people of her own state in contempt. It’s one of those jaw-dropping moments. How could this happen in the United States of America?! Her complete disdain for voters, in delaying this until it’s too late to do anything about it, is palpable. From what I’ve seen the entire Republican Party has been hijacked by people who actually hate voters. Whick, if you connect the dots, means they hate democracy. Scary times.

In a carefully hedged statement, Obama said he “respects the decision of the California Supreme Court.” He respects a decision that disregarded the will of the people in California, as expressed by a 2000 referendum that defined marriage as between a man and a woman; he respects a decision that excoriated his own position of support for civil unions and (theoretical) opposition to same-sex marriage; he respects a decision that rejects the sort of political compromise he extols.
FYI…I do NOT oppose gays marriage.
I do however find this portion interesting.
He respects a decision that disregarded the will of the people in California, as expressed by a 2000 referendum
If that kind of thinking, from a potential president doesn’t bother anyone….then it should. The will of the people is in dangerous territory, when a sitting President would oppose it, for the decision of a higher court.
I’m not speaking on the gay marriage issue, I’m speaking any issue. That bothers me, a lot.

Interesting even the newspapers there are insisting that the registration forms be looked over carefully so that votes aren’t thrown away unnecessarily.Voter suppression is not going to work this time.

Jeanie
It bothers you because you do not understand the the nature of a Constitution republic, and Obama does.
Constitutional rights are not a matter for “majority rule.” 90% of the people can vote to discriminate against a minority, but it is not going to happen because the Constitution remains the law of the land.

I’m not interested in a Soviet-style redistribution of wealth. I’m just tired of the Russian-style redistribution of wealth we’ve had going on for the last few years, where the greatest rewards are funneled to a corrupt few who control the government and dole out their largesse to the cronies that keep them in power but under the radar. Cheney would be doing as well in Moscow as he has in Washington, using the same tactics as mafia kingpins always have, loyalty through fear.

Just Wondering
The 40% number was one of last week’s right-wing talking points. God only knows where it came from. It is obvious that people like Polly have no idea.

The 40% of Americans that don’t pay taxes already have their hands out waiting for that welfare check from Obama.
Sit back and take Gov’t handouts while hating the Gov’t.
Rev Wright taught Obama so well.

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a radical leftist group based in Chicago with very close ties to U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, scripted much of the subprime mortgage scandal.
ACORN has been misusing socialism to correct the perceived problems of capitalism. As with all socialist schemes, it failed miserably. It also has cost the innocent bystanders, the U.S. taxpayers, untold billions.
ACORN “community activists” in the 1980s used very in-your-face intimidation tactics — and loopholes in the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act — to pressure local lenders to make very risky home loans to otherwise unqualified borrowers.
Then in the 1990s, ACORN used lobbyists to pressure Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to take those nearly worthless loans off the hands of the put-upon lenders, reports Stanley Kurtz, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.
Amazingly, ACORN eventually was permitted to redraft many of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s loan guidelines.
Through funding and personal-leadership training, Mr. Obama, as a director at Chicago’s Woods Fund, and as board chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, shamelessly supported ACORN.
But it’s paying one’s bills promptly and saving for a down payment that leads to homeownership. Following ACORN has led to ruin.
Self-discipline is the sure cure for socialism.

As a republican I must say, who in their right mind will vote for McCain/Palin. First of all this man looks and acts like hes ill. Second, McCain dies the women Palin will become our next president. Palin has proven to be very controversial. Sarah Palin over exptended her power, this fact was discovered by a panel of 10 republicans and 4 democrats. She does not have the foreign policy experience…She has become a joke and I really belive that she is the worst choice for this VP position. I am sorry but I am scared to death of this women becomes the next president. I will put country first and vote for the better team. This republican will vote for Obama/Biden. I urge republicans to look at the issues and ask themesleves, is Sarah Palin the best we can do???? I am sorry why we Americans have to set our standards so low to acammodate this women. A VP position is very important position last time I heard. Sarah is not qualify in no form to be a commander in chief, if McCain is to die. Look folks McCain is looking very Ill…This is a real issue….

Tom, I doubt that you are a real republican in the first place. The fear mongering about McCain’s age, health and trying to make people afraid of Palin is an old left wing tactic at best.
I am far more afraid of Obama and his socialist world view, massive spending and tax increases and who he has associated with all of his adult life.

________________________________________
Yes, Jay I am a proud republican. I am not the only republican who is scared about a maybe Sarah Palin president. Look at the polls Jay. Sarah Palin is sinking in the polls, faster than a fast speed rail. Thats a fact. If you feel comfortable voting for Sarah Palin, go ahead you are in the minority. I have spooken to many moderate republicans who will cast votes for Obama, simply becouse of this issue. I know Jay that this is hard for you to swallow but the truth is the truth and you and I cant change that. AGAIN people are not comfortable with Sarah palin nor John McCains health. I am not the only one sayong this my friend. In regards to association lets not go there, I am sure McCain has had his share and Sarah Palin we just dont know because she was not vetted properly.Dear Palin has become the laugh stock of the McCain campaing, she is not a smart cookie. We republicans need to go back to the drawing board, first lest start with a better candidate, a true conservative. Second lets give the VP choice importance again, is Sarah Palin the best we can do??? Third lets come up with a better agenda and new fresh Ideas. We need real reformers, not Sarah Palin who has abused her powers..Is that a true repfrmer, NOT. I will put my country first and glady vote for THE BEST TEAM
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

Jay I have to agree with tom because of his clearly sexist position on Palin he is definately a republican. But I also agree that the health of a candidate is an issue I take seriously. I would like to see all 4 candidates have a physical and release the results to the voters. McCain does not look to be in good health but neither does Biden. Palin looks to be in good physical health although I question her mental health (because it took her three days to answer what newspapers she reads) and Obama is a smoker so I have to question his health even though he appears to be physically healthy.

OBAMA’S NAME WILL BE TAKEN OFF THE PRESIDENTIAL BALLOT, AFTER THE WORLD FINDS OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE. IF THERE TRULY IS PROOF THAT OBAMA PUT A FAKE BIRTH CETIFICATE UP ON HIS SITE TO EASE THE QUESTIONS OF PEOPLE ABOUT HIS REAL BIRTH PLACE; AND IT TRULY WAS A FAKE, HE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT. IF HE IS NOT A U.S. CITIZEN, WELL THEN, “GOODBYE, OBAMA!!!!”

“In addition to these non-paying filers, roughly 15 million individuals and families earned some income in 2004 but not enough to be required to file a tax return. When these non-filers are added to the non-payers, they add up to 57.5 million income-earning households (sometimes referred to as tax units) who paid no income taxes last year. Even 57.5 million is not the actual number of people because one tax return often represents several people. When all of the dependents of these income-producing households are counted, roughly 120 million Americans—40 percent of the U.S. population—are outside of the federal income tax system.”

Looks like there will be law suits and a recount in Ohio if the crooked Obama camp can’t comply with the fraudulent ACORN practices Obama is so familiar with and tied to. This election is being rigged for Bozo, and don’t be fooled otherwise.
He is disgusting and so is his Chicago Thug campaign.
NEVER OBAMA.

A couple of years ago I was driving through Greensboro NC listening to talk radio. The subject was poverty. A caller complained the “the rich just get richer and the poor just get poorer.” The host then mused “do you think it might be because both keep doing the same things that got them there in the first place?” That thought has kind of stuck with me.

There is no single person in the United States of America, who is more gravely compromising the integrity of our election process than Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner. That she has been able to mandate the changes she has implemented by circumventing the state legislature is reprehensible, and the smugness with which she brazenly does so is absolutely sickening.

When one talks about compromising the integrity of the electorial process Katherine Harris always comes to my mind.

Do any of you realize that there is no law that says that any individual has to pay federal income taxes. which means the only way anyone will have there taxes raised is if they choose to pay a federal income tax.
And by the Palin did Abuse her Pwoer and let her husband abuse her power. and as for tasing his step-son it was the step-son who asked him to do it so that he could show his cousin how tough he was. As for drinking beer on the job where did you hear this from Palin or from an Independent source because I have never heard that.

You know that a campaign is in serious trouble when it has nothing to say on the issues, has spend time distancing itself from every remark at every event, when there is no coherent message, when the two candidates start to contradict each other, and the campaign begins to attract some unsavoury elements. Sadly, Senator McCain is no longer in charge of his campaign, and his running mate is putting down a marker for 2012..in the last debate Sen. McCain talked about a spending freeze, now he wants the spend a billions on buying back mortgages!!, as for the Alaska probe, 10 Republican and 4 Democrats found that Gov.Palin abused her power, 10 GOP/4 Dems!!..spin that one.

Those of you that believe the untrue myth Obama wasn’t actually born in America had better hope that a similar rumor about McCain isn’t true. He was born in Panama, ya know, and there are questions about it.
Get real. His grandmother is very old and I’m sure the last thing she wants in television cameras in her face. We don’t see much of McCain’s mother, do we?

Favorite story today: “On the fence no longer, 106 year old Catholic nun, Sister Cecilia Gaudette says she has made up her mind to cast a vote for Barack Obama.”

Josh said: as for tasing his step-son it was the step-son who asked him to do it so that he could show his cousin how tough he was.
By that logic, if a child asks an adult, especially a parent, or step parent to shoot them….you shoot them? When do we accept adult responsibility for our actions?
I do not agree with what Todd Palin did, but from reading several stories, this was a problem the Palins, and other family members brought forth, a few years before she became Governor.
As for the drinking. He apparently did.
This is from a CNN news story.
Troopers eventually investigated 13 issues and found four in which Wooten violated policy or broke the law or both:
• Wooten used a Taser on his stepson.
• He illegally shot a moose.
• He drank beer in his patrol car on one occasion.
• He told others his father-in-law would “eat a f’ing lead bullet” if he helped his daughter get an attorney for the divorce.
Beyond the investigation sparked by the family, trooper commanders saw cause to discipline or give written instructions to correct Wooten seven times since he joined the force, according to Grimes’ letter to Wooten.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I wouldnt’ want anyone on our police force here, that was behaving this way.
Again…I don’t agree with what Todd Palin did, but there really is no excuse for Mr. Wootens behavior either, considering the authority position he’s in. He needs to set the example.

From The Blade of Toledo, OH: “Sen. John McCain, by nature, has shown himself to be incapable of providing the American people with an optimistic vision of the future. Firmly rooted in the failed politics and policies of the past, he cannot guide us on a path he does not see. Senator Obama already has demonstrated that he is a man of the future in the way he has inspired a new generation of voters to become involved in the political process and to actively strive for a better tomorrow.” Amen. Obama/Biden ’08!

Obama’s grandmother is elderly and is no longer capable of travel! Seriously that was a desperate comment!
Palin did abuse her power! We all know that the trooper was a jerk but she had no business bringing in a family freud into Alaskan government business! I read the report! We should be concerned that because Todd Palin is not an elected official he had so much access to the state of Alaska business!
I am sick of Palin getting a free ride! Seriously! She went to 5 colleges in 6 years, she boarded a plane with her water broken at 36 weeks with a child with down syndrome risking delivery on the plane and no infant emergency equipment! Down syndrome babies often have severe cardiac anomalies, her teen daughter is pregnant and she wants her to get married and the girl hasn’t even graduated from highschool! She has no clue about foreign policy and thinks because she can see Russia from Alaska that counts as experience! She left the town of Wisilla in debt, she owes back taxes, she is the queen of earmarks, dosn’t think that a woman should have a abortion even in the case of rape and incest! I question McCain judgement that he would pick her! I respected McCain before this and if he would have picked a strong VP I might have considered voting for him! He has NO clue what to do about the economy and just spoats off ideas without thinking about them! McCain has voted against veterans 28 times and his wife Cindy McCain has the audicity to critizice Obama for no voting 1 time not to fund the troops because Obama wanted a time frame for withdrawal! I could care less that Obama sat on a board with Ayers! Obama was 7 years old when Ayers did what he did! Who cares!

I hope the Ohio residents look at their bank accounts and remember the struggles of the last 8 years. McCain has 7 or 8 homes and 13 cars. Do you really think that he is looking out for your interests? Ohio, this entire election can lie on your votes! Please for future of our country, make the right decision and come out in groves to elect Barack Obama. He is the only presidential candidate that will bring change. McCain voted 95% of the time with Bush. Do you really think he’s going to change? Some Maverick!

Barak Hussein Obama is a self-promoting do-nothing. His accomplishments are as follows: graduating from schools; community organizer in that cesspool of corruption, Chicago politics; elected to the Illinois State Senate – same cesspool; elected to the US Senate for one year when he began to run for President of the United States. Never served in the US military. He has not claimed he was disabled. Multi-decade affiliation with domestic terrorists and others who hate the USA. This guy is experienced at two things, hating America and promoting himself. He is a lefty, even for left wingers.

We Buckeyes like war heros who speak straight like McCain!

…………..If this is true then “you Buckeye” aren’t all that bright. To steal a phrase from history “if John McCain ever found himself telling the truth he’d tell a lie just to keep his hand in”. He has lost all integrity in this campaign and his character was seen when he dumped his first wife and then was instrumental in causing the Silverado bailout. He;ll probably win Ohio though….The Florida of 2004

“My friends…” gag me with a spoon!!!

I am utterly offended that the rich continue to seek tax breaks – and have the gall to keep asking for more. They have been the entitled for quite some time. Of course… they would have you believe that what they save in tax breks will trickle down to us in the middle class. Nothing has trickled down… only OUT of this country. Jobs and investment of goods. Thank you to that top 5%. NOT.

i wouldn’t fret over ohio…they lead the nation in unemployment and are in the top 5 in the nation for foreclosure rates…if they want another 4 years of bush policies…i say let them have it…there is a lot of hatred brewing over color…this isn’t surprising to most democrats…ignorance is ignorance..it is what it is…keep in mind a lot of these polls are misleading…check basis from the surverys…i mean if i’m polling a predominately republican neighborhood…then yes…my results would not be scientific…people should just keep in mind…by not voting for obama…YOU ARE NOT HURTING HIM…he can back away from the senate and still have a very lucrative career…and i guarantee…his job wouldn’t be outsourced!!!

All Mccain is doing right now is throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. he can’t talk about the issues because his party has been dead wrong on pretty much all of them for the last 8 years. so they offer distractions and make up lies about obama to distract people and get their focus off the economy. its not going to work this time. not in this election. we need change so desperately and 4 more years or god forbid 8 if mccain is reelected of bush policies would leave our country in ruins. anyone who cares about the future of the country would vote for change. obama and joe biden all the way.

jamarier, no problem.
You should look up two of Stanley Kurtz’s articles, “Inside Obama’s ACORN,” and “O’s Dangerous Pals.”

James -
You mean Stanley Kurtz of the Hudson Institute? The “neo-con” think tank (now there’s an oxymoron) whose members have included Richard Perle, Dan Quayle, “Scooter” Libby, and Robert Bork?

On what planet does playing “the race card” work to Obama’s advantage? Republicans have been playing “the race card” for over forty years. I think it’s a sign of extraordinary progress that they’re now condemning it so fervently.

palin is a disaster.. not just waiting to happen but unraveling before our very eyes.. McCain is so out of touch with anything but war he is clueless what to do about ANYTHING… EVEN the war!… incompetance cheapr by the Dozen should be their campaign slogan (you know.. add 4 years onto 8)… or how bout.. Stupidity… not just for GW Bush anymore…

Sorry, you aren’t scaring me by listing a bunch of penniless fringe activists and calling them Obama’s pals. I’m too busy worrying about The Carlyle Group, PNAC, TRW, Freddie Mac and Halliburton, actual powerful groups with a bad agenda that all have direct ties to McCain. BOO!
