McCain Camp Refuses to Criticize Brother Who Penned Angry E-Mail

Zero-bama abandoned his brother in Kenya at $1 per month. What you expect is that he will abandon anyone, anything for his personal gains.

dO…if you could read( which I guess you cannot) you would have seen the interview with Obama’s half brother.
He said he lives in a nice middle class neighborhood and is happy. His brother offered to bring him to the U.S. or give him financial help, but her refused.

McCain let the neo-cons run his campaign into the ground. He’s basically a likeable guy who was the best chance the Republicans had this year. Then the right wing of the party forced him into the Palin pick. He would have had a better chance with Joe Lieberman or even Tom Ridge as a running mate.

HELLOOOOOOOO. John McShame abandoned his first wife after her serious accident for that bleached blonde drug addict homewrecker Cindy. That’s character for ya.

The Obama campaign is the one no telling the truth about the opponents or even his background. Palin is squeaky clean compared to Obama and the slime, sleaze and scum he has kept around him for years and is still holding on to them for support. His ACORN relationship should make an intelligent voter race toward another candidate. But the weak minded are following this man like lemmings. They are waiting for a socialist handout.
His CHANGE IS SOCIALISM.

What’s worse than one McCain? Two McCains. I want NO McCains running this country.

McCain’s problem is not his campiagn. It’s his policies and the R in front of his name.

Oh, and that $700 billion followed recent bailouts of other companies, too, in case anyone is keeping score on the socialism tally.

Vanessa: “McCain’s problem is not his campiagn. It’s his policies and the R in front of his name.”
I think you have a point, but I also think McCain has run a terrible campaign. Obama now looks like the less risky choice, given McCain’s erratic performances during the Russia-Georgia thing and this economic crisis.
And that’s not just me. Polling says Obama is more trusted in a crisis.

Joe sounds as delusional as his older brother. Insanity runs in the family I hear. Great warrior and leader of men and women???? Ludicrous.

Yes I agree this is a silly report. However, Mccain’s own brother is telling him to stop the negative and focus on a more positive message. I think Mccain needs to wake up…otherwise he will wake up to being a senator for Arizona..again!

McCain’s brother called my town “Communist Country” a couple weeks back.
I pass Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetary every day. The capital is ten minutes away. Most of us in Arlington work in Washington DC.
And Captain Dillweed wants to call us “communists”? Ok. Fine.
I’m going to enjoy showing him what we think about that statement and his “warrior” brother in three weeks!
VA is turning BLUE!

Please Vote Obama! Was A BIG Hillary Supporter And I Always Will Adore Her! She Is Great! Barack Is Our Only Hope He is Intelligent, Wise,
And A True Leader! PLEASE VOTE Obama! Our Only Chance For The Country To Come Together! I Truly Beg Of You!

SOCIALISM!
This country is being brought to socialism by way of welfare and social programs? Not!
CORPORATE WELFARE is rampant and causing this. Our tax dollars are paying for CORPORATE WELFARE. Do your research or ask someone in corporate America about “padded expense accounts”.
Many house payments, private schools, cocaine habits, car payments, country club dues, abortions, etc. are being paid for via corporate expense accounts. But this info will probably be denied and never surface because it is hush hush.
Some of the expense fililngs are legitimate, the other half are fraudulent. Fraud that is a tax-write off. American taxpayers pay for. Has been done for years, thus the bubble has burst. Sadly,however,
it not going to change.
Blaming it on the social programs is like comparing to a bank robbery vs embellzling which accounts for 1000 times more losses than a bank robbery. Then the accused embellzeler is asked to quietly resign and goes to another organization and repeats the same fraud.
Social programs are only a drop in the bucket compared to CORPORATE FRAUD.
Wake up people!
Unfortunately this fraud will go on and America will print themselves into a paper money hole.
If someone out there diagrees do your research.
Remember AIG just recently. There a trillion more examples of “AIGs” that have been going on for decades.
AND WE WONDER WHY WE ARE IN THIS MESS!

Obama’s brother CHOOSES to stay in Africa! Do a little research before you spew!

What leader? If he’s such a great leader why didn’t he lead his own campaign in a fashion that is consistent with his real beliefs? Has he not been in charge of his own campaign so far? And if not, why not? Ask his brother who is responsible for the mess of the McCain if it is not John McCain himself.
Sounds like John is having to deal with the same basic flaw that has from day one in his life haunted him: he is really not very good at what he does. He failed in College. He was at best a mediocre Navy Officer and he has been an inconsistent Senator and run a horrible campaign. The only thing he has ever done well is be a prisoner. Go figure.

Mary — with some of the policies the Bush Admin is recommending, instituting, I think socialism is already here — and it’s starting with the Republicans.

If any of the people criticizing socialism could define it, I’d be amazed. Look, if you’re OK with your grandma and grandpa getting a Social Security check and Medicare or Medicaid coverage, then you’re OK with socialism. Last I checked, no one called being on Medicare getting a handout.

McCAIN IS SICK, VERY VERY SICK.
IF ELECTED McCAIN WILL DIE IN OFFICE.
THE MEDIA MUST REPORT THIS.
JAKE, ABC, MSM where are you? In the tank for McCain again. No doubt he called you his constinuency. This is not Communist China you know.

McCain is the old warrior, but not the old general. He has steered an erratic course, and now has to live up to “getting Obama’s ….” Well, not much chance of that based on the previous rounds fought. Relationships with radical thinking individuals is fair game, and the media will never tell us about them.
The voters have a right to know about Ayers and the rest of Obama’s relationships, and with a press unwilling to do honest in depth looks, he will slide on through.
What all the associations and friendships Obama has had do, is paint a picture of the values and beliefs that Obama may hold, since he won’t tell us himself. These are long term friendships with individuals holding radical views, some who have been convicted of illegal deeds, and who have supported Obama financially. How can Obama simply dismiss these people as being insignificant to his life and to who he is today.
So now, with McCain again being erratic, the campaign backs off from a legitimate issue because of opinions and spin from Obama supporters, including the MSM.
What is left? Well I suppose we can look at the history of what happens when one party has full control of government, something the writers of the Constitution tried to prevent. We can look at the reasoning of giving even more power to the Democartic Party who has failed to deliever on the mandate given two years ago and who now has the an approval rating worse than Bush.
Or I suppose we can celebrate the new Socialist America where dissent is suppressed, and opposing views are all racist. Where business is nationalized, and government takes on the role of your mother, providing all that you need (at least that is what the Democrats will tell you).
This is not the America of my dreams or of my forefathers, is it yours ?

So, let me understand this…McCain is losing the election because his campaign isn’t being run as he wishes it to be run? If he can’t run his campaign, how can he run the COUNTRY???

– Well I suppose we can look at the history of what happens when one party has full control of government, –
Yes, that didn’t work too well when the Repubs controlled both the Legislative and Executive branch of government..
Bush ran rampant over the Constitution.
At least both Obama and Biden are both experts in Constitutional law.

I do not believe you American understanding the term Socialism -
It appears that the Republican Party uses terms like conservative, socialism,left wing and right wing without any understand.
It appears to be a lot of hated in the US – The US is a divide country with a lot of prejudice and hate – that is really unfortunate -
Obama is right for many reason when he declares that he is a change agent – One can only wish that the Republican tone they message of hate off.

if old man mcsame’s brother was so worried about him why did it take him so long to say something? looks like too little too late he is finished! retirement village awaits!

John McCain a Great Warrior and Leader? LOL

And independantview mclame and palins vison of america ain’t mine. So what is your point? I don’t belive in race baiting or hate filled.

Didnt you hear? Hugo Chavez welcomed comrade Bush into the socialist club some weeks ago.
Wait a minute….John & Joe McCain, doesnt those two remind you of someone? Oh yea: George & Jeb Bush!

Mary scribbled: “Wall Street does not like Obama’s economic plan.”
Mary dear, are you really that naive? Which ‘obama’ plan would that be hun?

hey guys it`s times for a celebrations.since 2000 latin
American is turning lelf; eleven country now the be surprice the unite state is become a comunity state. viva la revulocion. socialismo o muerte.

The plan for money came from the begging of G.W.Bush, the republicans that support this ticket will not study or read they just hate. this was a bipartism effort to revive the economy from the billions of dollars spent in this war that we could not handle. take the blinders off and read, read and read some more study don’t take antone word become self educated.

WOW WOULD HIS BROTHER BE CONSIDERED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT
OOOOOOOOOOOO NO NOT REALLY
WHERE HE COMES FROM IT DOES NOT BORDER THE UNITED STATES
I FORGOT ONLY PEOPLE FROM THE COUNTRIES THAT BORDER THE UNITED STATES ARE CONSIDERED ILLEGAL HA
WHAT WAS I THINKING AND WITH OBAMA AS PRESIDENT HE WILL HAVE THE POWER TO BRING ALL HIS ILLEGAL FAMILY MEMBERS TO THE UNITED STATES WOW WAS OBAMA REALLY BORN IN THE UNITED STATES?????

Corporate party is over. McFake voted against the tax cuts now he wnts to make them permanent. Under the Bush cuts Corporations taxable income dropped 800%. Did yours???

Isn´t it obvious that the Obama/Biden ticket is best for this country? Seriously…McCain´s first big decision for the presidency is to select Palin as his VP? And if you think Obama is taking the country towards socialism, you´d better have a think about what Bush has done with your tax dollars–taken the country into the bogus Iraq war that will cost trillions by the time it´s over (including interest costs), and now the financial bailout as a result of deregulation costing taxpayers yet another trillion. And what do we have to show for all that money spent? At least Obama has plans to spend tax revenue on something good for the country, like infrastructure rebuilding, healthcare, and education. No McSame…. Obama-Biden ´08.

The GOP did not let John McCain be John McCain. They wanted someone who their so called “base” was comfortable with and would deliver their wants and needs.
This has isolated the libertarian branch on the GOP and broads swaths of ndepdents and moderates. His nomination should have told the GOP leadership, people are tired of the Rove/Cheney methods of doing business.

– If the congressional leaders had not put all their eggs on Zero-bama, and if had put their country first and supported Hillary Clinton’s proposal one year ago, –
You are free to complain all you like, and continue to pull the knee-jerk blame game that McCain has been doing for a while now.. doesn’t change the fact that the DOW has been sliding for quite a lot longer than just the past several weeks or even months.

democratic, I was responding to Mary.. she is the one that can’t spell :)

Whoops, I mean MIKE.. there are so many here that can’t spell, I lose track!

Even the brother of McCan’t knows his campaign is in the toilet.

LMAO Democrat John Murtha called his supporters in Penn. RACIST, that dumb f***** bucket of lard

McCain has been McCain and that may be why he is behind in the polls.

Mary: You have no real facts to back you up on anything you just said. It’s all innuendo and platitudes. There are also no indications that any of these supposed and minor interactions have had any affect on the actual philosophies and policies that Obama has been working and implementing during his career.

So it begins the excuses for why McCain is losing, because he staff and advisors are not letting him be himself, WELL I don’t know about any of you but if he can’t stand up to HIS staff and HIS advisors how is he ready to STAND UP FOR AMERICA. When your own brother says you are appearing “crank and curmudgeon” I think that pretty much says it all.

You know DO there you go again foaming out the mouth, Obamas brother is his half brother by his father he did not know well, Since were on the topics of sibilings What about Cindy Mccains half sister that the Mccains lied about and Cindy swindeled her out of half of the Inheritence, so before you go throwing stones check the Mccains yard!
Posted by: ANGIE | Oct 15, 2008 3:10:19 PM
** You really don’t have to look at Cindy’s sister, just look at her.. she’s a drug addict who stole from the sick. o excuse me a millionaire drug addict that stole from the sick. That’s like selling yourself for crack. doesn’t get any better than this!

We can stop sending our children to schools with corridors of shame
and start putting them on a pathway to success. We can stop talking
about how great teachers are and start rewarding them for their
greatness. We can do this with our new majority.
We can harness the ingenuity of farmers and scientists; citizens and
entrepreneurs to free this nation from the tyranny of oil and save our
planet from a point of no return.
And when I am President, we will end this war in Iraq and bring our
troops home; we will finish the job against al Qaeda in Afghanistan;
we will care for our veterans; we will restore our moral standing in
the world; and we will never use 9/11 as a way to scare up votes,
because it is not a tactic to win an election, it is a challenge that
should unite America and the world against the common threats of the
twenty-first century: terrorism and nuclear weapons; climate change
and poverty; genocide and disease.

LEt John be John he is absolutely correct. John McCain has proven he is above the dirt being thrown around. I admire him for that. Sarah and John 08. They Rock!

Anyone wanting the straight dope on either candidate should visit factcheck.org. I did, and it helped me clear my head and dispel a lot of things I thought I knew about both candidates. That being said, I’ve already made my choice of who I’m voting for Nov. 4th. And now I can do so with a clear mind.

Zero-bama is simply unfit, just as Bush is unfit, for that job.
Posted by: d0 | Oct 15, 2008 4:46:28 PM
I bet you voted for Bush didn’t you? McLame isn’t any better!
No McCain
No Bush
No Palin
No Cheney
Hey how about all you conservatives go join Sarah and Todd in the New Alaska! It’s their own new country Todd wanted so badly!

It’s sad that Obama’s brother has to live in a hut, surviving on $1 a month when Obama is out spending 29 million a week on attack ads.

Obama the magic negro is going to prison.
I’m Tony Rezko and I approve this message.

Yes we can.
It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the
destiny of a nation.
Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail
toward freedom through the darkest of nights.
Yes we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and
pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can.
It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the
ballot; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
Yes we can to justice and equality. Yes we can to opportunity and
prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this
world. Yes we can.
And so tomorrow, as we take this campaign South and West; as we learn
that the struggles of the textile worker in Spartanburg are not so
different than the plight of the dishwasher in Las Vegas; that the
hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are
the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we
will remember that there is something happening in America; that we
are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people;
we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter
in America’s story with three words that will ring from coast to
coast; from sea to shining sea – Yes. We. Can.

The New Majority in your faces haters!

– It’s a matter of judgment on the welfare and the state of the economy. –
Absolutely! Now we are talking some real issues..
So, we have McCain, who stated: “I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated.”, and he is getting much of that education from Phil Gramm, who gave us the enron loophole and can be thanked for our current fuel prices.
And Obama? Supported and advised by Warren Buffet, now backed by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker,
and another former Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan told Bloomberg News he was “not in favor of financing tax cuts with borrowed money” when asked if the United States could afford big tax cuts such as those proposed by Republican John McCain.

concerned American, you really suck as an Obama blogger.
get your head out from under his desk, you got sticky lips bro!

Obama is a jackass, as so is every close minded, liberal fool that backs him. Then again, most of them don’t have jobs, or if they do, they are minimum wage jobs, so naturally they would support someone like Obama who wants to distribute the income from those who do work and bust their ass, to those who don’t.

independentview: And I like and will thrill with my dreams much more than you will with yours. independentview, you go and hide in your hole and complain all you want but the rest of us are going to go out there before, during and after this election and be part of the solution, not part of the problem. Obama can a will help us Americans become a single nation, again with the pride that you desire so much. So, go ahead and hide while the rest of us reap the benefits and goodness that comes from our regenerated American. By the people, for the people, of the people. NOT by the few, for the few, of the few. Obama “2008″ and “2012″ and Clinton “2016″ and “2020″. May we ALL win.

Talk about racists! Those Obamas and their cult following are the worst. But worse of all I won’t vote for a drug addict who has gay sex in the back of a limo.
I’ll never vote for that jerk, especially because of his idiot supporters on here.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been
anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible
odds; when we’ve been told that we’re not ready, or that we shouldn’t
try, or that we can’t, generations of Americans have responded with a
simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people.

So why vote for mccain tam?

~ I have a Caption for McCains picture above”" Portrait of a LOOSER ~ You Betcha!

just cannot see that stuttering, Curious George looking, Black militant in the white house. I am sure Jeremiah Wright would be hired to be his spiritual advisor. I will not pay reperations to some black man who was never a slave for something my great-great grandaddy did.
Don’t worry this will soon be over and Obama and his horrible angry wife will be history.
Guess what both Obama and Osama have in common?
They both have friends that bombed the Pentagon.

from sea to shining sea – Yes. We. Can

Wow! The Palin imbciles got out of class early today. LMAO!! Boy why don’t yyou move to Alaska! More people that see america like you do up there! You can hate the US with Tod!

Touchy people these Obamanites, eh? Poke a little fun at their Messiah and off they go. Relax. Take a chill pill. It’s still a free country… freedom of speech and all that. Let’s not have the Dems repressing thoughts and ideas like the Bushies, shall we?

I just love the IRONY of the dumbasses who suggest that Obama was not born in the U.S. Not only are they stupid enough to think Honolulu is a foreign country, but they don’t realize that McCain was born in PANAMA!

For those of you who insist that Obama is a muslim and other things. Read below. Check the facts!!
Mark Brown – chicago sun times.
How else to explain the circumstances that led to local nut case Andy Martin being treated recently as a legitimate journalist on Fox News by Sean Hannity, who put Martin on the air to advance his theories that Obama is a radical planning to overthrow the U.S. government.
Martin is the guy who claims to have been the first to advance the specious claim that Obama was secretly a Muslim, and others have fed his ego by also giving him credit.
For those of us who remember when Andy Martin was still Anthony Robert Martin-Trigona, Martin’s ravings aren’t worth the time it takes to knock them down.
The first time I crossed paths with Martin-Trigona was way back in 1978, when he was a flamboyant young candidate for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate from Illinois, and I was an intern in the Sun-Times’ Springfield Bureau.
As I recall, I covered a Martin-Trigona press conference in which he announced he was putting a million dollars of his own money into the campaign. Martin-Trigona was portraying himself as a wealthy lawyer and trying to make himself appear to be a serious candidate.
Delusions of grandeur
It was all bull, but that was before everyone in Illinois politics came to realize that Martin-Trigona was a certifiable lunatic with the papers to prove it. The Illinois Supreme Court five years earlier had blocked his admission to the bar, citing a Selective Service psychiatric report that indicated he had a “moderately-severe character defect manifested by well documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and grandiose character.”
I think that means he suffers from delusions of grandeur.
Though he’s brilliant in his own way, the description fits Martin perfectly. He has run for president himself from both major parties and run for the U.S. Senate in at least three different states. When he resurfaced in Chicago in 2004 as a Senate candidate, he was telling everyone he had been conducting his own search for Saddam

matt: I’m guessing that you are a poorly educated, low income, hardworking Joe 6 pack who doesn’t know his hind-end from a hole in the ground. I do believe that it is the large corporations, that won’t hire you, that are finding themselves on Government welfare funded by your tax-dollars. Thanks to hard-working Joes like you and I, we can save our country despite the false beliefs that trickle-down economics and neo-con policies were supposed to make us great. Look where those policies have gotten us to since Reagan opened the Pandora’s box during his administration. Power to the middle class my friend, and balance and fairness for “all” Americans, not just the elite, rich and powerful few and the corporate sponsors.

I agree with Joe McCain – at this point John McCain looks nothing like he did back in his first presidential bid. He seems nothing like the man portrayed in his books. It is a shame that all politicians are handled by their advisors so much that we really never get to see who they truly are – we have to rely on vetting, reports from family and friends, and even enemies to get to the “real” candidate. I’m pretty sure I’d like the real McCain a LOT better than the awkward old attack dog who cannot discuss the issues that are important to Americans.

Oh, but McCain is a crank and a curmudgeon. Lots of people are, but this one might come with a pitbull by his side and nuclear weapons at his fingertips–that would make him a very dangerous crank and curmudgeon. We have 3 weeks to pray that sanity wins out over hate and division.

One would have to have the cerebral capacity of a cockroach to buy into Obama’s inspirational BS. The man has a resume that could be printed on a postage stamp and he thinks he’s qualified to be the leader of the free world. We already have an unqualified idiot in that job and sure as hell don’t need another one.

This whole sad story about Joe McCain’s angry email reminds me of the excuse that some Bush fans often use to try to clear Bush of his responsibility for his disastrous policies: that Bush is a fine president who happens to be surrounded by bad advisers. The problem with this kind of excuse is, of course, that Bush can’t be a fine president if he makes poor judgment on his choice of advisers and can’t tell good advice from bad advice.
Either John McCain is running the campaign in the way he has wanted or he can’t control his campaign. If the former is true, he needs to take responsibility for the poorly-run campaign. If the latter is true, who would want someone who can’t even control his campaign to run the country?

I guess socialism is ok to the rich Republicans needing their banking mess mopped up by a fellow conservative president. A knew American has emerged- the socialist Republican!

McCain is going to win this election. The polls fail to account for the Bradley effect. McCain is actually ahead if you only look at likely voters in the battleground states and adjust for the Bradley effect.
Obama is too risky and his tax proposals clearly show that he doesn’t understand the economy.
Vote for McCain – he has a good economic plan, outstanding experience, and great track record. He will clean up corruption in both parties.

– at this point John McCain looks nothing like he did back in his first presidential bid –
And he isn’t.. for example, he supported a tax plan similar to Obama in 2000, and was critical to Bushs, which is the one he is pushing this election:
JIM LEHRER: There was a suggestion today from some of Governor Bush’s supporters that maybe you’re not really a true blue Republican, that some of the things you support like campaign finance reform and your opposition to tax cuts are more like Gore and Bradley and Clinton and Democrats than Republican.
SEN. JOHN McCAIN: Well, I’m much more like Ronald Reagan, actually, than the present hierarchy of our party. I’m for tax cuts, but I’m for working Americans. Governor Bush wants to give 38 percent of his tax cuts to the wealthiest 1 percent. I want to give it to working families.
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/election/jan-june00/mccain_2-2.html

OBAMASCARED: I have and am even more impressed about his abilities to be our next president. Very good books and very promising. I suggest you read them again, with your eyes open this time.

Why is everyone still talking about trivial stuff like Obama’s brother in a hut when there are far more important issues boiling on the back burner about Obama. There has been a Federal law suit filed in Pennsylvania challengeing Obama status as a natural born citizen, and it looks like he is truly hiding something because he has had since August 21st to bring his certified birth certificate to the court to prove he is a natural born citizen of the U.S.A. and has not done so yet. Instead of producing his B/C his lawyers filed motions to dismiss the case, and at this time eveyone is waiting for Judge Surrick to rule. Not only has this suit been filed but yesterday a citizen in Washington state filed another lawsuit asking the secretary of state to force him to prove citizenship,and today another citizen in Utah filed another one. So, if anyone would like to take a look at something really, really important you can go to http://www.americasright.com. If it is found that Obama is truly a Kenyan national it would be devastating and diasatrous for the Senator and the country.

– Obama is too risky and his tax proposals clearly show that he doesn’t understand the economy. –
Sorry, but apparently two former FED chairman disagree with you as does the Wall Street Journal and most other respectable financial analysis centers.

– There has been a Federal law suit filed in Pennsylvania challengeing Obama status as a natural born citizen –
Yup, brought up by the same nut case who is suing Bush and the US government claiming they were responsible for 9/11.
In addition, the request for discovery set today as the deadline.. so we should know once and for all how it turns out later today.

Please see this. If this is true, we all better be ready for a rude awakening if Obama gets elected.
Subject: Revelations Chapt This will make you re-think: A Trivia question in Sunday School:
How long is the beast allowed to have authority in Revelations?
Revelations Chapter 13 tells us it is 42 months, and you know what that is.
Almost a four-year term of a Presidency.
All I can say is “Lord, Have mercy on us!”
According to The Book of Revelations the anti-Christ is: The anti-Christ will
be a man, in his 40′s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with
persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal….the prophecy says
that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace,
and when he is in power, will destroy everything..
Do we recognize this description??
I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to post this as many times as
you can! Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or media outlet..do it!
I refuse to take a chance on this unknown candidate who came out of nowhere.
From: Dr. John Tisdale
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As I was listening to a news program last night, I watched in horror as Barack Obama made the statement with pride. . .”we are no longer a Christian nation; we are now a nation of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, . . .” As with so many other statements I’ve heard him (and his wife) make, I never thought I’d see the day that I’d hear something like that from a presidential candidate in this nation. To think our forefathers fought and died for the right for our nation to be a Christian nation–and to have this man say with pride that we are no longer that. How far this nation has come from what our founding fathers intended it to be.
I hope that each of you will do what I’m doing now–send your concerns, written simply and sincerely, to the Christians on your email list. With God’s help, and He is still in control of this nation and all else, we can show this man and the world in November that we are, indeed, still a Christian nation!

He’s actually right. The way this campaign is being run it doesn’t truly reflect McCain or Palin – the campaign should just let them both be themselves for the next three weeks.
I almost think the Republicans are purposely trying to throw this election. The conservative right was never behind McCain and doesn’t want to see him elected plus they believe Obama will be a tax-and-spend, 1-term president giving conservatives a good shot at retaking the White House in 4 years – that’s their thinking not mine.
Personally, I like McCain’s approach to education and his economic proposals as they’re not as uber-liberal as Obama’s but not as conservative as the far right – sort of some place in between. But I hate the way the campaign has been run. The John McCain in this election is not the same John McCain who won in the primaries.

d0: Let us do talk about Obama Nation. Let us check into the non-partisan website FactCheck.org. Check out the whole article and tell me that Corsi is not a “FAKE” writer. His attempt to “swift-boat” Obama has “FAILED”. the party is over “d0″. The party is over.
Corsi’s Dull Hatchet
September 15, 2008
Jerome Corsi’s “The Obama Nation” is a mishmash of unsupported conjecture, half-truths, logical fallacies and outright falsehoods.
Summary
Despite its place near the top of The New York Times’ nonfiction bestseller list, where it has been riding high for the past six weeks, Jerome Corsi’s “The Obama Nation” is not a reliable source of facts about Obama.

If someone is interested in voting, they are free to register to vote. Why do groups like Acorn have to coax registrations out of people? It seems so forced and makes me skeptical about their motives. I don’t think people should vote at all if they can’t make the effort on their own.

– Personally, I like McCain’s approach to education and his economic proposals –
You mean the proposal that we continue on with trickle down taxation like Bush has used to drive the country into the ground?
How many times does that experiment have to fail until people realize that it doesn’t work no matter how many time you try?

– If someone is interested in voting, they are free to register to vote. Why do groups like Acorn have to coax registrations out of people? –
Because most of them are low income and elderly who do not have the means to register or have become so disenfranchised with our country due to their conditions and our political leadership they believe their vote would do nothing.
Perfect case in point: Palin
Americans have sunk to such a point that this is the best the GOP can come up with, and our expectations from our leaders, particularly given the current President, have dropped to such a low that people actually support these type of candidates in record numbers.

Ben J: The are helping voters from both parties to “register” to vote. They are purposely trained not to push either party or any candidates. They are required, by law, to turn in all registrations even if they are not legitimate. There are a very small number of people who falsify and those registrations are required to be turned in. They verify every registration for fact as much as possible but must still turn in the false ones. The Republicans saw this as a way to make something out of nothing even though ACORN was trying to do the “right thing”. Remember, also, that all American’s, including homeless, etc, have the right to vote. Do some more reading and you will see the Republican deception.

Penny Pincher: If you feel good about that and can live with our choice, than do so. That is your right as an American. I am sure you have done all the research, from both sides, and made the best decision you could with what you know up to the point. Good luck!

Let’s start a new idea here. Whomever becomes our next president should take all the best ideas from all sources, including past candidates, and help create the most promising solutions for each of our nations needs. If Clinton had a better health plan, then use it. If McCain had a better battle plan, then use it, if Obama had a better economic plan then use it. So, the question is, who is the best candidate that is willing to take the best of the best and not be afraid to put in forward and make it work? Are each of you out there able to live with that? Can we, as a single nation, support whichever candidate wins to do this very thing? I hope so, for all of our sakes.

dlboggan, you said “Whomever becomes our next president should take all the best ideas from all sources, including past candidates, and help create the most promising solutions for each of our nation’s needs.”
I agree wholeheartedly – that’s why it makes sense to choose the candidate who has a proven track record of working both sides of the aisle – with members of his own party as well as other parties.

As I read these some of the comments on this post,particularly from folks like mack,barb,sue dO,sarah….only lets me know that they really have serious problems…Hate will only destroy all of you…If its God’s will for Obama to get the presidency, then you can post all of the nasty, racists remarks you want to post..it will do no good…Everything that the Re-pug-nant-cans do backfires on them because the majority of them(not all) are just a bunch of racists haters..The more hate you spew the higher Obama rises in the polls….Keep up the good works!!!!

Thanks Media-watcher: These proposals should not mean the whole package but could be the best parts from all sources to make something even greater. Yes, you are right. The candidate that brings support together to put ideas and solutions into a single package and then bring in the peoples support to make it happen. It would be hopeful to see us all win under this type of leadership and mentorship.

To Darlene, who claims to be a Christian and that Obama is the anti-christ……..Did you not also know that according to the bible,when the anti-christ appears, all of the church (The true Christians) will have already been raptured off the earth…So, with that being said….Why are you still here????

– I don’t agree that when people compare Obama and McCain’s policies side-by-side most come to the conclusion that Obama’s policies are better. –
Those are my observations based on my own participation.. as for you agreeing or disagreeing, that is for you to deal with.
– I think most voters are concerned enough to take it upon themselves to do the research –
My primary area of involvement has been in the academic realm, where most of those who I talk to are first time voters in a presidential election. They are too busy dealing with their own personal issues to take time out researching candidates, and most have had no clue as to what the candidates represented, and when shown, the choice for most was fairly easy. These were open minded intelligent individuals who for the most part simply made a rational decision which was best for the country.

People! People, please let’s focus on the issues. Who cares what Obama has done in the past. Who care that he attended Rev Wrights church the last 20 years or at least 1,040 times and admired his as a family member. It’s just crazy, people need to realize that by some luck the 1,040 times he attended Rev Wright never spoke about how much he hates this country. Who cares that he worked with Bill Ayers. It’s not his fault he bombed the New York City Police Headquarters, the United States Capitol building, The Pentagon, the Park Station of the San Francisco Police Department and the Park Station of the San Francisco Police Department. People need to realize that Obama was only eight years old when this happened and yes he did work with him when Bill Ayers made those disgusting comment on 9/11 that he wished he could have done more bombings in his days, but you never know maybe Obama did not have the TV or radio on, maybe Obama did not see those comments on any newspaper, maybe it was never spoke of in all the meetings Obama and Ayers attended, and Ayers possibly never spoke about all that the times Obama went to his house, the time he held his first political fund raiser at Ayers home or the times Michelle Obama and Ayers wife hung out together. Now people how can you call it guilt by association when they were good friends. Leave the poor guy alone and stay focused on the issues we need a Socialist Country. We need to give to the poor. We need to pay more for our goods. We need medical just as Canada and Cuba. We need to pay more for gas, so in the next 20 years we could be energy independent. Our employers are more than happy to pay more taxes so we can live a better life. The people that don’t pay taxes need to get a refund from our pockets it’s Patiotic to spread the wealth. It’s good to give a company a two year temporary tax relief that way they can have time to take their company overseas and not be rushed into it. So people share Obamas views and forget his radical ties.

The story about McCain’s brother is, like so many McCain “controversies” a creation of the McCain campaign itself. It is another sideshow in the McCain campaign circus, full of distraction.
John McCain is like a squid, shooting out a cloud of ink whenever danger approaches. For the McCain campaign the danger is that people will remember his years of entanglement with Keating even before the “Keating 5″ investigation. McCain is rehabilitated, we are to suppose.
Are we going to let John McCain’s style of leadership stand for American leadership? McCain has proven himself unfit for duty, by his smear tactics, his angry mob rallies, his distractions away from the important issues, and his failure to display the ethics and demeanor of a U.S. President. We had a president like John McCain — his name was Nixon.

What about the Democrats (Obama) that made the decision to let all the poor people have a part of the “American dream”? This is what has started this “American nightmare”. The demos. wouldn’t cooperate with the Republicans when they needed to regulate the banks. The choice of the demos. to have the banks/loan cos. “deregulated” has started this economy mess we’re in today. Now they want all the poor people, and those that don’t ebven belong in this Country to have the best health care. They have already just about broke the Medi-cal system. Now they want to break something else! If you want to continue to pay through the nose, go ahead and vote for democrats. Give all our money and resources away. That’s what the democrats have done and want to continue to do.

Wow, Darlene: Calm down there. Was it not McCain who was call for more deregulation across the board. Was it not the Republicans who had “complete” control of the administration and the Congress for at least 6 years? How did the Democrats prevent the Republican controlled government during all that time? Hmm. Something does not compute here. And where does Obama state that he is supporting health care for non-Americans? Would you please provide some facts to back up your statements. Please provide at least more then one non-partisan source for each statement. I have asked this time and again from those that make the rash statements and none seem to be able to back them up with any “real” sources. Help us out here. No more of these Palin type platitudes and talking points, please.

Abovethehate: Well said and thanks. I will try to do better. As I see it, the Independents being one of the important groups in this election have forced us to pay attention to your very thesis. Hang in there and hopefully we will get back to those civil manners that you have reminded us about. Being part of the solution instead of part of the problem can be very hard for many of us.

Darlene..you need to be angry with the people who created these prgrams called creative financing for home owners..Greedy mortgage companies who would do anything to get a loan and the unregulated Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Big wigs who did just what they wanted to do under the Bush administraton because they are part of his rich friends,just like John McCain…That’s why the economy is in the mess it’s in today…Bush has destroyed this country in the last eight years..him and his rich cronies, and you’re getting ready to vote for another one who couldn’t care less about you..John McCain is worth over 100 million dollars..If he doesn’t win this election he is going back home to his 15 bedroom house, 13 cars and 9 houses, and he won’t miss a beat or give you nor me a second thought…Obama grew up having to work hard for what he has acomplished and he was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth…. That’s why I feel he can relate to my situation…Tell me, how can John McCain relate to you when his wife comes to the RNC in a 300,000 dress, and not to mention the jewelry she had on which put her outfit over a million dollars..and he had on 500.00 shoes..Michelle Obama’s dress was about 150.00..Now you tell me, where is the waste here?…I wonder how many people could you feed at the soup line or homeless shelter with the amount of money that was spent alone on John and Cindy’s McCain’s clothes?…Jesus was right when he said…It’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven…..

Just like George W. Bush, John McCain rode the accomplishments of his father and grandfather to this place in history.
Let’s elect somebody who knows what it is like to work hard, to be poor, to pull one’s self up without Daddy paving the way.

– No, President Bush did not make a mistake in his handling of terrorism. –
This is so laughable that it’s not really even commenting on.. but please do tell me where that Bin Laden guy was after 9/11?
Sure wasn’t in Iraq..
And you might want to read this testimony given before the Armed Forces committee in September and based on the historical analysis of over 600 terrorist organizations in the last 40+ years:

Please friends, I understand that conservatives believe that this country should be left to it’s own devices and let the markets and business do what they will. History is replete with examples of this, from the fall of Holland’s economy centuries ago when the
tulip bulb market collapsed, to this past century with the great depression. Ask anyone who was around that time, and they’d complain how no one was accountable, corruption was rampant, speculation was everywhere. The years after Roosevelt took office, he put the controls in place on the banking, securities, and private sector corporations. Over the last quarter century those controls have been weakened or thrown out by the Republican party in control since ’80 (I don’t count Clinton, because he was in the Republican’s pocket because he couldn’t keep it in his pants.)
With those controls in place and the simple concept that Henry Ford had about giving his workers a wage that they could afford his vehicle. The country grew and strengthened thru World War II and the following Cold War. At the end of the cold war, the “greed is good” and “warm-body” view of employees not as assets more valuable than tools and machinery and property. All that mattered to Executives was cutting costs, showing more profit to get more money. Then “most favored nation” status was granted to China under Bush II (Nevermind that it’s a totalitarian regime, what they’ve done to Tibet, Tianamen Square, Vietnam War, Korean War). Employers moved manufacturing over there (the administration said we’d be a service economy, servicing their corporate masters is more like it). No country can be strong and stable without a manufacturing base (that was why we had to rebuild Europe and Japan after WWII so they would not fall to Communism). We now need to stop the handouts and back deals with corporate America. Reform the tax structure so all of the corporate exemptions are taken away It hurts the smaller entrepreneurs anyway, allow the smaller businesses and regular everyday people who make less than a quarter of a million a year(yes that includes brain surgeons too) to get out from under the onerous tax burden. We need to bring the jobs back here by making the tax code favor companies who employ American workers in the bulk their manufacturing.
Ten percent “Patriotic Company” tax program on top of the current taxes (if collected) would give adequate incentive to get the manufacturing back here.
Many of my family members are Republicans, and if they’d look at the data on it and realize all of that manufacturing China is doing was being done here. They are smart enough to realize that Outsourcing, by cutting off worker’s from good jobs, they (the big manufacturers who can ship jobs overseas) are in no small part causing the housing crisis
Look at the statistics at the link below. This shows China’s Global Trade in the last eight years.
http://www.uschina.org/statistics/tradetable.html
That was the US-China Business Council.
Oh and for anyone who hears vicious comments and emails about the candidates. Do yourselves a favor and go to factcheck.org and investigate yourself, if they don’t have the data, submit it to the editor and they’ll have it checked in a few days. They are non-biased non-partisan created in response to all of the negative campaigning and slimy tactics used in recent years’ elections.
Have a great day.

My dear friend, “Concerned about America”: Prove your statement, back it up, show your sources. Not just one source but multiple hard evidence non-partisan sources. You can’t and you won’t. Obama is a Christian and has always been a Christian. Prove otherwise. You can not and you won’t. Good luck with your attempted deception. You lost before you started.

WHAT A SHOCKER!
In the final debate, Barack Hussein Obama talked more like Republicans George Bush and Herbert Hoover. Barack Hussein Obama related to growing the federal government, raising taxes and trade restrictions. Barack Hussein Obama says he is not repeating the last eight years of the Bush administration, but talks like President Bush. If Barack Hussein Obama becomes president, he says he will repeat the acts of Herbert Hoover (raising taxes and trade restrictions) that led America into the Great Depression.
John McCain and Sarah Palin have a much better understanding of how America can survive the financial crisis. John McCain and Sarah Palin do not talk like a George Bush and a Herbert Hoover.
You had better do some real thinking before you pull that lever.
WE HAVE EVERY WORD IN COMPUTER MEMORY!

If any of the people criticizing socialism could define it, I’d be amazed. Look, if you’re OK with your grandma and grandpa getting a Social Security check and Medicare or Medicaid coverage, then you’re OK with socialism. Last I checked, no one called being on Medicare getting a handout.

How stupid can you really be! Well it’s apparent that the majority of you on this post havn’t a clue about what is at stake here. So the majority of your think that everyone should be equal. No free market, equal jobs, equal pay, we all make exactly the same amount of money, one leader, equal housing, equal success, bigger goverment so they can take care of us, and one etopia. Right just shut up! I ask you now, How many of you know someone that lives in or have lived in a socialist country? It’s not pretty, I have a cousin that thought that it would be nice to live in Venezuela a socialist ran goverment. He lived there for two years, we had to send him money to get back home. Let me say it was bad. Let’s talk about the medical there, waiting lines for hospitial treatment. People are dying in line waiting for three or four hours waiting for treatment in emergency. It’s because Hugo Chávez does not want to spend the money on newer and bigger hospitials, he wants to build newer and bigger homes for himself. The Doctors don’t really care because that all are employees making the same amount of money. More likely not even as much as you! Hey what about housing that you don’t even own. All run down, something that I know most of you wouldn’t dare live in or visit. Jobs there, you work where you are told to work. You might luck up and get put into a job that you like. Yea right! If you lived in a Socialist Country you would not even consider Socialism here in this Country. Now let’s get back to the ignorance of the majority of the posters here. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid is coverage alright, it’s something we all pay or paid in insurance called FICA that is taken out of your pay checks. Not a socialist program, but an insurance policy. I tell you, you need to do your homework on the two candidates before you vote. Don’t rely on the media or the blogs, find the information out for yourselves. Please make the right choice, stop looking for a hand out or getting something for nothing. That’s really what all that you see in Obama Ayers right! If Obama wins, you will get something alright. It’s called higher taxes, bigger goverment, less freedoms, and more lies about I’m going to help middle income America. Just like all of the Democrates before him and never, ever did one thing that benefited the middle or poor class. Not one thing! Name one thing that the Democrates have done for you! Do the research on the Democratic lead congress the past two years. You can try and blame the president if you want. All of this financail mess was addressed in 2006 but the Dems did nothing, D Barney Franks head of the Finance Commitee said there’s nothing to worry about Fannie May and Freddie Mac are doing just fine. Poor decision to on the Dems part just protecting the money that they were recieving from Fannie and Freddie. Which includes lining Obama’s pockets also. Do your research.
