More Mixed Messages from McCain?

Friday, October 10, 2008
How does the MSM miss Obama’s extensive ties to ACORN? By closing its eyes, holding its nose and covering its ears
No wonder Stanley Kurtz has become a major target of Obamatron abuse. Back in May he wrote one of the first pieces exposing Obama deep roots in election fraudsters ACORN. Given this sort of lead, you would have thought the MSM would have been all over the story during the General Election. As Aerosmith would say, “Dream On”
Ironically the failure to report this story almost led to an astonishing act of political daylight robbery only last week in the US Senate. In fact Obama and the were sufficiently confident in their unparalleled ability to suppress the media that at a time when the American public were pissed about Government waste, they brazenly put a huge potentially multi-billion dollar payoff to ACORN in the Recovery Bill. Senate Republicans caught it and nixed it. How many times has this attempted grand larceny been reported by the Obama-loving MSM?

“There are plenty of people around the world who are praying to their god, be they Hindu, Buddah, or Allah, that (McCain’s) opponent wins.”
The sheer density of grammatical, semantic, and moral fail packed into this sentence is bewildering.

What?
Republicans who want to do questionable things, but “not be held responsible” for their actions???
I am shocked! Shocked, i tell you!

I understand McCain’s perspective. He is a smart player. He is attacking Obama’s philosophical foundation at its source, those from the far left. He distinguishes that from Obama the man, a husband and father. I like McCain, he would have been a great President eight years ago. The real problem is the people on the right that are not able to restrain themselves and leap to extreme hatred. These people are dangerous and they need calm leadership. and ultimately, for those that was not cease and desist, they require stiff resistance. For this reason and this reason alone I support Obama but I will not hesitate to tear down Obama’s bogus philosophy, for those that want to reconcile the disparity.

To Kirsten Powers,
At least come up with original language. Cutting and pasting from another source gives you zero creditbility.

We all know who John McCain is, we know of his younger days in the Navy, his time in captivity, his years in Senate, some of them not so good for his reputation, his flinging with women his houses, his cars his grades at annapolis, how many planes he crashed, his hot temper and his reputation of working with the opposite side to the chagrin of some of his supporters. Yet, we know nothing of Obamas college days in New york, how and who paid for his Harvard Education or exactly his accomplishments as a community activist. And other what he wants us to know in his books there are not many people that I have heard talk of all these periods of time. Character should mean something to all of us and I am not suggesting his friendship with black nationalist such as Wright or a man who use to be named Don Sutton or even his freindship with Mr. Ayers is any of my business but we are all judged, whether fair or not, by the company we keep.

david…
Yo are right… we are… McCain voted for Bush an his policies 90% of the time… That scares me the most… I cannot afford luxury food items and my son has to go to a state school because my business is no longer doing well and money soo tight… its the economy stupid… not Ayers or Wright…

My frieds they are not allowing me to post a video of someone promoting someone

Kirsten Powers:
You either know nothing about the American legal system or you’re intentionally trying to mislead people. That “order” you just posted is a PROPOSED Order that the Plaintiff in a frivolous lawsuit challenging Obama’s citizenship filed.
It has NOT been signed by the judge.
It does NOT represent any findings by a court of law.
It does NOT mean that the judge will order any of those things.
It IS only a Proposed Order and nothing more; plaintiffs and defendants file such proposed orders everyday in courts of law across the country. They are purposely drafted to reflect favorably on their side. Sometimes the judge simply takes the proposed order and signs his name to it but that usually only happens if both sides agree. In the vast majority of cases, the judge drafts his own order.
Only one order has been issued by the judge in Berg v. Obama, et al., and it is an order DENYING Berg’s attempt to restrain Obama from running for president.
The case is frivolous; get over it. If Obama had faked his Hawaiian birth certificate, the state of Hawaii would have something to say about it, don’t you think?

You reap what you sow…
What has become the Church of the Angry Base the McCain/Palin revival is showing it’s true colors. Rev. John and the Deacon of Deception (Palin) have promoted anger to advance their cause. Now the Rev. has seen the light of hate he’s exposed within the ranks of his blind followers. He needs to dim the spotlight exposing his soul!

Or maybe McCain just has a little more class than Palin. I am very impressed on how he came out so strongly for decency.

THIS one, for THAT one!!!

true story: for a bit, some guys from the Howard Stern show took a microphone to a neighborhood to ask who people were supporting for President – if they supported obama, the interviewer asked if they approved of obama’s VP, sarah palin, and if they supported mccain, the interviewer asked if they approved of mccain’s VP, joe biden – each time, the voter agreed that their candidate’s choice of the opposing party’s vp was a good decision

My friends,
SARAH PALIN IS CORRUPT.
JOHN McCAIN IS A GUTLESS, SPINELESS LOOSE CANNON.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BELONGS TO EXTREMIST NUTJOBS.
BARACK OBAMA WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.

Just a little tidbit of hope for Hillary/McCain supporters.
Via emails,blogs,etc.Hillary/McCain supporters have been told to tell pollsters they are voting for BO.
If that is true it seems to be working because once again BO is already measuring curtains for the White House.
Wouldn’t it be poetic justice if all those Hillary supporters that are still ticked w/the DNC and Obama ran up his poll numbers and gave him false hope only to see him lose on Nov4th?
Afterall he had ACORN on his side during the primaries too. And we still want Hillary to run in 2012.

It’s getting really disgusting at these McCain/Palin rallies. And it is all their doing. Starting with Palin saying that Obama “pals around with terrorists”. They should be held completely responsible for all this anger and racism going on at their rallies because they caused it. I’m glad that McCain finally said something. But it’s too late. These people are angry and it’s really scary. McCain is truly dishonorable and Palin is even worse. The secret service needs to be aware of this. Disgusting.

Tadpoles63
Because real journalists actually have to confirm their stories before printing them.

The case is frivolous; get over it. If Obama had faked his Hawaiian birth certificate, the state of Hawaii would have something to say about it, don’t you think?

You’re in a little too deep…..breathe

The campaign narrative for the next few days really needs to be on

Who cares who paid for Obama’s college. He’s a darn site smarter than most of these posters who are so upset that he is black, he is smart, he is married, he is successful, he is smart, he graduated from college, he is smart, and he cares about this country and he is smart.
Now about McCain. He graduated at almost the bottom of his class at the academy. He is not as smart as Obama. He is on his second wife. He is not as smart as Obama. To prove he is not as smart as Obama look who he chose for a running mate. Oh, gosh, golly gee, I’m just a maverick. I understand why his party is attacking Obama…they are embarrassed that McCain pulled the wool over their eyes and they have all stepped in cow pooh.

McCain has stoked the crazies and now he’s reaping the whirlwind. YOu can’t get a mod together and then tell them to be reasonable.

Kirsten Powers
We don’t have an “Oath of Allegiance” in this country. We are not quite that totalitarian yet.

McInsane is the arsonist trying to put out the fire he started. He’s a two-faced lying lunatic.

The campaign narrative for the next few days really needs to be on:
1) The “Troopergate” report. It should be obvious to ANYONE at this point that Palin DID abuse her power as Governor, and that she did use her position – and Todd’s nonposition – to carry out a personal vendetta. THAT SAYS ENORMOUS THINGS ABOUT A PERSON’S CHARACTER.
2) Todd Palin’s membership in, and Sarah Palin’s association with the Alaska Independence Party. If Bubblehead is going to throw around accusations that Obama is “palling around with terrorists” – a blatant lie – WHY IN GOD’S NAME ISN’T HER INVOLVEMENT IN A SECESSIONIST ORGANIZATION ALL OVER THE NEWS?
3) Palin’s rampant dishonesty about – just about everything. This woman has the temerity to constantly go after Obama on honesty and integrity. Well, she’s been on the campaign trail what, like six weeks, and how many half lies and outright lies has she told? The bridge to nowhere (lie), the plane on ebay (half lie), divestment of Alaskan state funds from Sudanese investments (lie), the list goes on and on…
The campaign narrative is going to veer away from the stock market, because there is a sense of fatalism about it right now. Instead, we’ve been focused on McCain/Palin’s ugly rhetoric and rallies. That’s appropriate. But WHEN are we going to get around to really showing Bubblehead up for the lying, incompetent, petty neophyte she is?

Hey Tapper,
Your statement “the ludicrous myth that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., is some sort of Muslim Manchurian candidate,” just shows how much of a propagandist you are for the Obama and not a journalist. McCain supporters don’t believe this at all.
What we KNOW is that Obama is basically a socialist, he has PROVEN historical alliances with extremely left-wing people such as the former terrorist Ayers (whom Obama lied about concerning their close working relationship), the black separatist and America hater Wright (“God D*** America”), the convicted felon Rezko, the PLO supporter Khalidy, the voter-fraud thugs ACORN (whom Obama was a lawyer for and taught community activist tricks) and the Kenyan thug Odinga (whom Obama campaigned for, and who eventually instigated riots killing 1000 people and burning 800 churches).
Also Obama is a man with proven, ultra-liberal politics. If McCain doesn’t want to point out these things in his campaign, then he is a putz. But the American people have the right to be afraid of Obama the Socialist taking power with a sycophantic Democrat Congress!

The right always make me giggle. They don’t beleive the news media, except for Fox and Limbaugh, but they believe anything and everything they read on the web. The more absurd it is the more credence they give to it.
The McCain/Palin saga is funnier than any SNI skit that I have seen in years. But the one thing that scares me about this pair is that they call themselves patriotic Americans. It is a very sad day for America.

Palin abused her power.
AG Gonzalez abused his power.
Cheney abused his power.
GW Bush abused his power.
Funny how they all think they have a right to rule like monarchs once they have any power. Read the Constitution sometimes folks.

Palin’s corrupt, McCain has lost his last ounce of honor, and their supporters are hateful and bigoted. We need a steady hand in these hard times.
Obama/Biden 08 country first.

Wow, do you just pull different arguments out of your **** every week to convince yourself McCain’s actually winning?
This week it’s “Hillary/McCain supporters are lying to pollsters” argument.
Last week it was the Bradley Effect, which apparently is Obama’s lead + 3%.
What will it be next week I wonder?

Most Minnesotas are hungry for socialism. In 2006, they elected a Dem by 22%, Sen. Amy Klochochar. Now the lefties are coming out to McCain/Palin Rallies and yelling all kinds of stuff, knowing that it will be repeated by ABC, MSNBC, etc. The Left has been hanging Bush at all their rallies, but surely will squeal when the same happens to Obama when he invades out Nuclear Ally, Pakistan.

If you would like to talk about a Governor “abusing” their power, I would like to bring up the case of Obama’s buddy, Tim Kaine, the Governor of Virginia.
It appears that good old Tim Kaine, who for awhile had been touted as a possible V.P. pick for Obama, has been running around the state of Virginia “restoring” the voting rights of convicted felons as fast as he can so they can all go vote for his buddy Obama.
Does he have the legal power to do this as Governor? Probably.
Is it an “abuse” of that power? Definitely.
Wasn’t the finding language used in the tedious Troopergate report something to the effect of acts that were committed “in the interest of personal gain?”
Sounds like a case could be made here for good old Tim Kaine as well.

Only men need apply.
I wont vote for Obama because of his character assination of Clinton during the primary. Angry hacky sacker males lead the attack and are his primary supporters. Yuk.

Just Obama support and past association with the ACORN group should make most rational people not vote for him.
He paid this group $800,000 just this year from compaign funds to try to drfraud the election process. Just this one action is far more criminal and severe than the Governor trying to get a drunk/abusive criminal man fired from a state job. He had a long list of bad behavior as reported by the state investigator–not the Palen family. The whole thing was a political ploy against the most popular and decent governor now serving. She stepped on the toes of the corrupt Democrats and Obama supporters. She also beat them in a state-wide election and still has a high popular rate of over 80%. Obama’s rate–less than 15% as a member of the senate.

There is a difference in character smears and pointing out the inconsistent and outright false statements from the Obama campaign and its candidate about Obama’s past, his associates, and the work of his supporters to organize voter fraud.
McCain is telling the truth. The truth is not a smear. He should not let up. He should press harder and to Obama’s face. Obama must be made to answer for these truths because otherwise we can never trust him in high office.

jake i believe that people (at least adults) of all persuasions are spooked over this economy, and yes panicked about who will who will step up and bring leadership and how will that leadership affect them. what i sense is happening is what therapist refer to as displaced anger.
if this anger is not expressed for fear of criticism or shame it will be suppressed only to manifest itself in a more pronounced manner at a later time.

Tucker Bounds, the biggest schmuck on this planet. Remember when this babbling fool tried to defend Palins foreign policy ‘experience’ with some erratic rambling about the Alaska national guard?

kravitz
You findout more because you actualy care the media only cares about filling pages!
McCains yuck!

Tucker Bounds is a nincompoop. Remember when that fool tried to defend Palins foreign policy “experience” with some erratic rambling about Alaskas national guard?
Tucker Bounds should do everyone a favor by sitting down and be quiet.

McCain and Failin, the titantic duo.

John McCain is a national disgrace.
The only good thing that could possibly happen out of this complete nightmare, is NEVER elect another GOP candidate for at least 20 years.
They have been near white collar criminals since Nixon

So McCain is lauded because he stopped being deceitful and dishonest for, what, 5 minutes? Then it was back to the usual despicable campaign filled with lies and distortions.
I guess Ole John is uncomfortable with his leading a lynch mob. Rabble rousing is all you got left McCain and rabble is all that follow you now.

First of all, the McShame campaign spokespeople, particularly Tucker “Knows No” Bounds have been issuing ridiculously unresponsive rants for months now — so, their inability to respond appropriately to an Obama compliment is not as absurd as it would normally seem!
And it could well be that Bounds and Company are not thrilled with McShame’s decision to finally return to his pre-campaign pledge to run a clean campaign — for however long this lasts as I understand this morning they are back to distorting Senator Obama’s position on abortion as they tout their own far-right wing position on that issue! Once again, playing to their shrinking base!
Obama/Biden 08

Question why is the media so WEAK ?
Palin doesnt take question but still the media lets this happen ???
I was reading foriegn coverage and they think we are fools in none of there countries could anyone run for office and not answer questions from the press!
When did America become Russia ?
When will the US Press grow a pair ???

One more point, to all McCain supporters, remember this, all of these polls are weighted because of the influx of democratic registration, BUT, that registration is now questionable, thousands upon thousands are being tossed, so their polls are incorrect. McCain’s internal polls show an entirely different story, AND Obama knows this, which is why he has purchased time on NBC, at I might say, a incredible fee, far too small for what they would charge anyone BUT Obama. This is why he continues to return to states he and his campaign brag are in the bag, because they KNOW the polls are weighted far too heavily for democrats.
There are going to be some very surprised people.

In my opinion McCain is not the President I want nor will vote for especially with Palin in the picture. In saying that McCain is a good man with a good heart and knows right from wrong. By taking the mic from the lady that called Obama an Arab, McCain laid a boundry to his supporters. Its some of his supporters that are bigots and wack jobs. McCain doent have room for those types and they give him and his party a bad reputation and hurts his campaine. I feel for him. Having to deal with Palin-Rove-And his off the wall supporters must be in conflict of what he really stands for and they must be hitting him from all sides, but also we must remember its his decisions that put a lot of this on himself. Obama/Biden 08

Yesterday I got my absentee ballot and voted for Obama for president, and I wanted to share the reasons why I voted that way.
First, I do not believe for one minute that Barak Obama, or anybody for that matter. could change Washington. It is a global power center, and as a result, the range of the best and the worst of humanity are at play there. From my mind, it is a human nature problem, not a Republican or a Democrat problem.
Second, governing America has to be a huge task. As much as we as individuals or members of groups push what we are for; there are other groups who are pushing for their interests just as hard. The range of opinions, perspectives and interests is very large and a willingness to sort through all of that and to arrive at plans that will be assets for our country again is going to take a special talent.
It is my belief that because of the quality of his decision making, an even keel temperament and the ability to understand and work with finances, Barak Obama has my vote.

McCain has to speak out about Obama’s SERIOUS PROBLEMS, because mainstream media DON’T WANT TO REPORT them (Obama’s CONNECTIONS TO ACORN and it’s VOTER-FRAUD in 15 States, Rev.Wright, Lous Fahakhan, ACORN, Rashid Khalidi (former PLO member) Obama’s Benefactor: Dr. Khalid al Mansour(Soudi Arabian)
Obama is the MOST LIBERAL SENATOR, far liberal than Nanci pelosi. Obama VOTED four times AGAINST providing medical care to BORN-ALIVE BABIES,(INFANTICIDE). This is SO CRUEL that even Nanci Pelosi with all other senotors VOTED FOR the identical federal bill, BORN ALIVE INFANT PROTECTION BILL.
Obama won his first election by having his lawyers KNOCK ALL HIS OPPONENTS (four opponents) OFF THE BALLOT on technicalities and he was ALONE ON THE BALLOT.
AND MANY MORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS

Just another example that McCain doesn’t run his campaign. If he can’t manage his own campaign, how can he manage America? I do feel that he was genuine in his comments about Obama. I hope that McCain lives up to his maverick reputation and cuts the smear tactics. He’ll likely lose the election either way, but at least he can hold himself with dignity.
Republican party has no one to blame but themselves. They had control of each government branch + a right leaning Supreme Court and they botched it all up.

James thank you so much for the web link!

The McCain campaign totally misses the point with its attack on Ayers and the like. It is not a question of guilt by association, nor is Obama a bad person for having been involved with these individuals. It’s a matter of judgment., but not the judgment that the RNC would question. The fundamental query that needs to be asked to Obama is quite simple: “When dealing with Ayers, Rezko, Wright, Flager, and ACORN what was your gut instinct?” “What did you believe about them as you dealt with them?” “Did you see good, decent people, or people whose motives were suspect?”
These are the questions that could speak to how he will deal with foreign leaders and others who will play a major role in shaping his Presidency. And it can be framed not as an attack on Obama, rather as an inquiry into his instincts on people and his ability to notice character traits that are troubling. It’s important, since it could seriously diminish his power as President and, if elected, effect his legacy.

McCain and Palin don’t want to be held responsible for anything they say about Obama? Sorry. You WILL be held responsible if any one of your right-wing nuts goes off and tries to hurt Obama or any member of his family. You MUST tone down the rhetoric or else!

Why the switch?
Today marks a significant shift in not just McCain’s presentation, but also the GOP strategy.
.
Look closely at the TV broadcasts.
.
Yes, McCain dramatically changed his tone, however Palin is now campaigning before banners that say “Country First ” and subtitled with “GOP.com”,
not JohnMcCain.com
nor McCainPalin.com.
“McCain” does not appear on any banner or handheld sign in the camera shot.
He’s been almost entirely removed from her presentation. She no longer promotes him as The Solution.
.
The GOP realized McCain is not going to win so they’re using the remainder of the campaign to promote Palin as the future face of the GOP. He’ll continue his new tone til the end so he can exit the race with an image worth retaining.
She will continue to campaign solo. He can’t concede yet, but the race is over.

TG
Good post. It’s also about his veracity. He has lied so often throughout this entire campaign that everyone should question his ability to become President. Those who do not are caught up in the “mania” that is Obama. They do NOT think, they simply act on emotion or party line. It is a fact that Obama could not get clearance from the FBI due to his connections with terrorists and Muslim organizations. However, the most egregious thing concerning Obama is his willingness to steal this election with votes that are not legal. He can do it, he’s from Chicago. I don’t care if Obama is purple, he’s corrupt. His skin color has nothing to do with my opinion, his character does.

I’m guessing the comments by the more extreme conservatives calling Obama and Democrats in general either “Socialist” or “Communist” are likely being made by people who are over the age of 40 and still believe we are fighting a cold war with the USSR. People younger than that don’t have the kind of negative association with those terms, therefore, the labelling argument is generally not going to be effective with many voters.
The only large nation that purports to be Communist is China, which happens to be one of the largest trading partners with the US. Anybody who shops at Wal-Mart is likely buying Chinese made goods. In other words, by buying Chinese made products, you are contributing to a Communist nation and thereby supporting it. On the other hand, how can you reconcile a Communist nation being a major trading partner and itself practicing effective Capitalism? This is just another reason throwing around these terms is likely to be confusing or just inaccurate.
There are already social (socialist?) programs in this country: public roads, education, Medicare and Social Security. You can argue and agree or disagree to the effectiveness of the government’s involvement, however the majority of Americans approve of the government’s involvement in these. Many social programs were either established under Democrats Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson. If you’ll recall, Roosevelt also presided over the bank re-structuring in this country. You can argue that what these Presidents did was socialist, however, many Americans reaped the benefits of these, and older Americans have been routinely saved from abject poverty by Social Security and Medicare.
So even these two Presidents, Roosevelt and Johnson, who established many social programs, did not dismantle the Capitalistic framework that the US is supported by, nor did they leave the US in more chaos with their economic policies. I think these are two examples that could provide a more clear picture of where the country might go if a Democrat was elected President.
Government regulation can be useful, and we’re seeing now just how bad unfettered de-regulation can be. If that’s Socialist, then perhaps some more of that Roosevelt Socialism will do this country a world of good.

T G
The problem with that is Obama hardly worked with Rezco. Ayers did what he did 40 years ago and is respected in the Chicago Education community for pushing reform. And there are no dots to connect with Acorn. Obama was a Civil Lawyer who dealt with cases like voter laws and civil liberties cases. Project vote allied with Acorn 2 years after Obama left. And the fact Obama has answered 100% of the questions ask begs the question of why turn the subject to something that is not relevant.

McCain has been playing with fire, stirring populism, hoping to reach the most conservative crowds (but not necessary the most intelligent).
And this is what you get…
Mc Cain himself must be wondering whether it’s worth it…

How many republican leaders have called McCain out in the past two days? Quite a few. Norm Coleman even cancelled an event with McCain today. They can’t afford to be seen around McCain’s racist campaign.

So Bob,
what is racist about McCain’s campaign? It’s not the Republicans that are racists. The Democratic Party is the home of today’s racial prejudice in America.

With all due apologies to David Letterman, here are the “Top Ten Signs of Desperation in Your Presidential Campaign:”
10. Your chief economic advisor proclaims that Americans are a “nation of whiners” who suffer from “a mental recession.” He is forced to resign shortly thereafter.
9. Your new chief economic advisor, formerly the CEO of a well-known technology company which she almost ruined due to an ill-considered merger, candidly admits to the press that you don’t have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to run a Fortune 500 company. She never appears in public again.
8. You confidently proclaim that the American economy is fundamentally sound, even as the banking industry, the mortgage industry, the stock market, and just about every economic indicator is in the toilet.
7. When asked how many houses you own, you have to defer the answer, saying “I’ll get back to you on that.”
6. In an attempt to appear more “presidential,” you announce that the economy is in a crisis and that you’re suspending your campaign activities to return to Washington to ensure passage of a bipartisan financial rescue package. You invite your opponent to do the same, but he declines. The legislation fails by a wide margin.
5. When asked by the press what significant legislation you’ve authored, one of your senior advisors pulls his BlackBerry from his pocket and asserts that you’re responsible for this device, obviously unaware that a Canadian company developed and marketed it.
4. You continue to insist that you’re a political “maverick,” despite your voting record which shows you’ve supported the current administration 90% of the time.
3. After having served in Congress for well over twenty years, you claim that you represent clear and unmistakable “change” from current policies, despite your voting record which shows you’ve supported the current administration 90% of the time.
2. You continue to question the character, experience, and judgment of your opponent, conveniently believing that few will remember that your own judgment was found by a congressional inquiry to be poor in supporting a charlatan who almost single-handedly brought down the savings and loan industry in the 1980’s.
And the number one sign of desperation in your political campaign is—
1. In an ill-considered, ill-advised, and ill-conceived decision, you selected as your running mate an opportunistic, inexperienced mock populist who, by her performance in the few press interviews she has given, is completely and utterly unfit to clean the Office of the Vice-President, much less occupy it.

obama is going to give this,give that. there is no $ to do that.small business loans?where is all the media on that one.people got to know all these so callled plans do not make it to jan 21,2009.mccain should give away the house now, then when jan-feb come around start handing out the welfare cheese, because that is where obama is headed.poor people will not have a chance this winter,that is where the hand outs are going to really start from the bottom up.401 k’s,stocks, people are going to be going hungry in 3-4 months.oh but wait obama is going to fix all that?do you think mccain is going to turn away from a recount, he is no al gore, all this voter fraud going on. mccain will never back down. this election will not be over till jan 09.

Chuck,
Too long. Take a breath and start using your brain instead of just copying and pasting Demo talking points.

Haha, listen to the ignorace.
When Lyndon Johnson signed civil rights he said, “ive just lost the south”. And he did. Southern democrats joined the republican party in droves and the republicans ran the southern strategy to help that along. The head of the RNC apologized for it two or three years ago.
WHy do you think blacks vote dem? duh.
McCain’s campaign rallies are filling up with bitter racists and he’s helping it along with his message. He’s embarrassing himself.

I love the to 10 signs of desperation by David Letterman. He hit the nail on the head.

bob
But with the numbers in Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina … I think the U.S. is recovering from it’s addiction to racism. Now let’s work on classism, the problem is that people in power care little about the poor.

McCain should be embarrassed. His supports are ignorant biggots.

Actually, voting for someone because they are black would not necessarily be racist anyway.

I’d say that McCain’s just taken his incitement under the table (where his hand was when he had his temper tantrum at the craps game off shore) because by telling his (McCain’s) fans that they do not need to “fear” Obama, he just reinforces that McCain/Palin ploy of suggesting that we do. Now McCain is just delegating the obvious incitements to others. It’s Palin’s best suit. Maybe if she wears her hair down, they will win?

bailey
You really need to learn the difference between fact and opinion. No matter how hard you want it to be a fact, it is still opinion.

Then I guess the clip I saw on CNN yesterday was a publicity stunt by McCain. At a rally in OH, an ederly woman stood up and said she believed Obama was an Arab, meaning she thought he was a terrorist. So McCain lied when he said he thought Obama was a decent guy. If they can’t keep their message straight, then how in the world can we trust this bunch with our futures?They are beggining to look rather Bushesk. McCain is beginning to look like a patsy. It’s almost like he’s lost control of his own campaign. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Quit letting Palin and “your campaign” say the complete opposite. No guts, no glory. What happened to McCain?

I’m sorry, but OBAMA did PAL around with a terrorist. OBAMA also has Terrorists organizations doing polling and fund raising for him. Remember Hamas? My daddy used to say, when you lie down with a dog, don’t be surprised when you get up with fleas.
Hide your head in the sand, and attack conservatives with ugly name calling and empty rhetoric, PRETEND you are actually accomplishing something with that type of debate.

If there is a Manchurian candidate it would be McCain, he was the one held prisoner. Get it straight. Obama would was too young to effectively brainwash. If you don’t know the truth , at least get your fiction straightened out.

PALIN = LIAR, CRIMINAL, UNETHICAL!! Belongs in Jail!
McCAIN = FOOLISH, ERRATIC for picking Palin!
OBAMA/BIDEN = WINNER IN A LANDSLIDE!!!

Is McCain mentally ill? Here it is, straight from the source:
A number of psychological mechanisms have been implicated in the development and maintenance of schizophrenia. Cognitive biases that have been identified in those with a diagnosis or those at risk,
1.Especially when under stress or in confusing situations, include excessive attention to potential threats,
2.Jumping to conclusions, making external attributions,
3.Impaired reasoning about social situations and mental states, difficulty distinguishing inner speech from speech from an external source
4. and difficulties with early visual processing and maintaining concentration

What I see:
Obama rallies his followers with messages of hope, change and optimism.
McCain rallies his followers with lies, smears and hatred toward his opponent.
While I don’t mind using the term ‘grumpy old man’, McCain seems more like an irritated Mr. Wilson watching his own personal Dennis the Menace gain the admiration, respect and backing of the neighborhood. And what I see of McCain’s actions – Rash, impulsive, ineffective, irresponsible, deceitful – shows me the true character of the man and what kind of President he would make. If you want an ill-tempered, irresponsible and deceitful old man in the white house, it’s certainly your right to vote that way.
Personally, looking around at the current shape of the country, I think the US can do without any more of that kind of leadership. What I see in the two candidates are the differences between hope and hate. We’ve had enough hate to last a few generations (Thank you Mr Rove). It’s time’ we had some hope instead.

See what happens, now McCain is being accused of trying to divide the country, more or less claiming (racism). You can’t say ANYTHING negative about Obama. Truth always causes trouble with Obama. RACE CARD!!!!!!! EVERYTIME. I myself, am sick to death of this cover up with Obama.

obama haters,
you can call him Hussein, arab, muslim, or anything else you want to.
You can try to conjure up all sorts of associations with others—while of course conviently ignoring
Keating,
Troopergate,
palin’s terrorist buddies in the Alaska secession crowd,
cindy mccains drug history,
john mccain’s adultery,
john mccain’s erratic behavior,
palin’s family mess,
palin’s tax evasion,
palin’s slaughter of helpless animals,
palin and mccain’s dismal education records,
mccain’s frail health,
palin’s lack of experience
and all of their lies.
YOU can go right ahead and rage about all of this internet trash you have invented to smear Obama.
WE are well aware of the above list of stinking garbage that follows mccain and palin everywhere they go.
Rant on. We don’t care. The stench from the GOP ticket is sickening

PALIN IS A LIAR – AGAIN!!
“Monegan has said he was fired in July after refusing pressure to sack Wooten, who had gone through an acrimonious divorce and custody battle with Palin’s sister.
Palin and her husband, Todd, have consistently denied any wrongdoing, describing Wooten as a “rogue trooper” who had threatened their family — allegations Branchflower discounted.
“I conclude that such claims of fear were not bona fide and were offered to provide cover for the Palins’ real motivation: to get Trooper Wooten fired for personal family reasons,” Branchflower wrote.
THIS IN NOT SOME DEMOCRAT CONSPIRACY LIKE PALIN AND McCAIN SAY…
These are the findings of an 8 week investigation, 25+ witnesses “under oath” done by 10 Republicans and only 4 Democrats!!!!
PALIN IS A SHAPE-SHIFTING LIAR!!
PALIN IS A CRIMINAL AND BELONGS IN JAIL!!

The question is why is America in decline? America has been hoodwinked by mean spirited conservatives, these ignorant latent fascists for so long your economy is in ruins, your politics is considered a joke world wide and the two best men to lead you out of the wilderness face daily smears, lies and slanders.

Those who are supporting and voting for Senator Obama are waiting in a very long line of free handouts–like free medical care, free college costs, free housing, free food, etc–all taken from the responsible people who really work, pay their taxes, live within their means and live the traditional, decent life as visualized by the Constitution signers. Obama is a true socialist and will forever ruin our America.
The McCain/Palin ticket means decency and traditional values and ideals–not a political agenda as in socialist/communist countries.

I wonder why the media isn’t paying more attention to McCain’s ties to the American traitor g. gordon liddy?…

You don’t know what Black Liberation Theology is, don’t know how many people have been brought out of oppression because of it.

Deep down McCain truly is an honorable man who really wanted all along to run an honorable campaign. That campaign just hasn’t been successful. And now, faced with likely defeat, he finds himself using tactics that he once detested. He doesn’t want this to be the last chapter of his political legacy. I empathize with him. He’s a warrior.

Calls for violence against political opponents is anti-Americanan undemocratic. I can’t believe John McCain hates America so much, but obviously he does… (This is what I call Rush Limbaugh logic… open mouth, insert black-market-pharmaceuticals…) But, seriously, this inciting violence against political opponents stuff really is anti-American and undemocratic, and it has to stop. Republicans should not want this to represent them!

Seriously? Grown people are suggesting the notion that “My God’s bigger than your God” is even in the bounds of potential future discourse? Whatever that Pastor is paid, it’s too much.
Let’s hope rational thought and our aspirations for a better world (inclusive of all faiths) are bigger than all exclusivist and regressive ideas about deity.
Obama 08

I think this country is goiing to be so divided after this election, no matter who wins.

You’re dishonest for spreading baseless hate, trying to make people afraid of Obama ,when it is not necessary. You are like a blog terrorist planting fear to cause political action.

The self righteous McCain (McCain’t) and Palin (Stalin) are not above the law. McCain was involved in the Keating Five scandal in the late 1980′s-1990′s, Keating a High End Home builder needed help and McCain assisted causing the collapse of Lincoln Svg & Loan and Arizona taxpayers a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$, he can’t be trusted nothing changes!!!! Palin mismanaged money while in office in Alaska and cost taxpayers Millions and now we have Troopergate and it goes on and on and on

“I cannot respect an associate of traitors who attended a militantly race hate church for 20 years.”

I assume you are talking about the false excerpts from his books that you all pass around. If you had actually read the books you would know that Obama is not racist, and also not evil.
But you hide behind the rhetoric and refuse to learn more.

eternalvigilance. A true “Christian” is someone who loves their fellow man and conducts their life as jesus did after his example. You are woefully mistaken if you think Obama is somehow “outside main stream” christianity. It’s your type of thinking that has got this country in this mess! Enlightened people everywhere are not going to let hatred and ignorance take us down. The real God, the true God, is a loving God and and He will always triumph.

I don’t agree with anyone acting objectionably, but I also just don’t believe it’s all or most of the crowd. A lot of people might be angry, but that’s also a different thing. And they have reason to be angry because of how one-sided the media coverage has been. The Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bailout is costing Americans $700 billion -$7 billion is already a lot of money- but the media hasn’t talked about how we got here and the roles of both parties in the mess. It took Saturday Night Live to “break the story.”
And the Ayers’ story isn’t irrelevant, or the only one. According to the page, “Web Archives Confirm Barack Obama Was Member Of Socialist ‘New Party’ In 1996,” on the blog, “Politically Drunk on Power,” Barak Obama ran for Illinois State Senate as a member of the Democrat Socialist-sponsored “New Party.” If you go to the blog page, it provides links to three sites (Chicago Democratic Socialists, an internet archive of a New Party page from 1996 – since the blogger says the page was scrubbed earlier this year when this first surfaced – and the Progressive Populist magazine, all of which identify Obama as a party member). And if this is the case, certainly government records somewhere would show the same thing.
As others have noted, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge was Ayers’ baby, and Obama was its first president and chairman of the board. While Obama was running the fiscal end, it gave $600,000 in grants to Mike Klonsky (also former Students for a Democratic Society, like Ayers, and former head of the Communist Party, Marxist-Leninist). Klonsky was running another of Ayers’ projects, the Small Schools Workshop. In 1995, the year the CAC was founded, Ayers called himself a small ‘c’ communist. In 2001, he was photographed stepping on the American flag (google “No Regrets,” Chicago Magazine). Obama also is tied to the radical Saul Alinsky, having worked for his followers. Alinsky’s son, L. David Alinsky, recently wrote in a letter to the Boston Globe that Obama is using his father’s methods very effectively.
Obama’s official blogger is Sam Graham-Felsen, a writer for the Nation. In 2003, Graham-Felsen hung a Communist Party flag in his Harvard dorm room, according to a Harvard Crimson article (“The Four-Year Path to a Quincy Suite”). The article also mentions how he and a roommate each recommended an author to each other; Graham-Felsen recommended Marx. He’s been published in Socialist Viewpoint.
The band that opened and closed for Obama in Portland, Oregon, last May was the Decemberists, a pro-Communist group which plays the Soviet anthem in Russian. Their site has photos of Obama posing for pictures with them.
There are many other communist/socialist ties to Obama, including the “family friend” mentioned in his biography as Frank, who was the communist Frank Marshall Davis (as confirmed by the Obama campaign in “Unfit for Publication”).

Let me break it down to you so you can understand. I wouldn’t want you to have a seizure trying to figure out what I am saying. Black Liberation Theology is a theology meant to give power to the oppress. You can take quotes form the 1960s all you want out of context but if you paid attention earlier to what I wrote Cone had defined White as oppressors and Black as the oppress. But since you have no ability to self reason or research you are left thinking it is a racist doctrine well guess what I wouldn’t support a God that oppresses people that God needs to be Destroyed. God is Agape and any other is a false idol.

Anon,
We had President Bush already. He said a whole lot that was very funny and I did not expect from a president of this greatest nation. Listen to Governor Palin. Who cares if Obama yell out “YO”?
So petty.

What an absolutely disgusting campaign the McCain camp is running. The bright side is, it now seems to be attacting only crazy racists with no grip on reality whatsoever. I don’t know if they realize they are losing their more moderate and reasonable voters by doing this, but don’t care, because I will be voting Democrat. I am a Christian, so is Sentor Obama, and do not appreciate the Republican party trying to characterize itself as having the backing of Jesus, who would surely be appalled by their behavior. I also don’t appreciate the blatant an outright lack of respect for non-Christians, who I am proud to say still have the same right as I do in America to believe according to thier own hearts. I hope there is more shame and awareness in their hearts of the hate these so-called Christians spew than there seems to be in their words. Godspeed, Obama-Biden! . . .

McCain/Palin are inciting people to feelings of violence. Obama is still spending his time talking about the issues. By their fruits you will know them. Sarah Palin talks about God. Barack Obama lives the example. Obama inspires people to care about others. Sarah incites people to hate. One of these people is closer to what Jesus taught in their daily lives—-and it isn’t Sarah Palin.

Erika….you need to get the entire story on Obama and Ayers sitting on the board. This board had several highly respected republicans that served with Ayers and Obama. The Anneaberg project founder is a republican and gave money to fund Mccains campaign. See we are all connected.

God, its like Tucker Bounds and the McCain campaign always try to just disagree for the sake of disagreeing.

Many people called Mark Twain a racist for his book Huckleberry Finn. But if you read the book you would know that Twain was not racist and was showing the indoctrination of evil slavery in the South. Just like Republicans have started to indoctrinate that Black Liberation Theology is radical and racist. I guess Catholics must be racist as well according to Republicans.

This idea of Obama sitting in the largely humanitarian Trinity church for a full 20 years (without even getting up for a pee, one would assume) and somehow managing to be a 12-year Constitutional Law Professor and nationally-renowned progressive Senator is very strange. If he went once a week, he would still only have heard the 30 seconds of mis-speech scattered through about 6 months or so, and that includes praising Jesus, singing and dancing and having a ball for much of the time.

it was fun gotta-go.

One right-wing talk show Jerk that conciders himself an intellectual, says the only people allowed to vote should be well the well educated. If that would be the case, they should be the only ones to pay taxes and participate in service to government.,The jerk also dislikes Oboma because, according to him Oboma is a “creature of Government”. What is McCain? neither has done much more than serve government. These off the wall statements, by right wing, selfish, self-serving, not even Republicans and their poor moral majority, illustrate all of the crap that is bad about America and Americans. Oboma should walk away, let this stinking pot continue to stink.

What are we learning during this election?
Frankly, from the way people are behaving, we have slipped into becoming a very, very disturbed collective group of Americans. Or lets say that 30% have slipped into this mode.
Or were they always this way??????
–Carrie Bradshaw

OBAMA is USING TERRORIST’S LAWYER to Defend LAWSUIT
Here come another of those “Guilt by Associations” that Senator Barack Obama will try to weasel himself out of. As you may know, Philip Berg is suing Senator Obama in Civil Court. Berg wants Obama to Produce his real birth certificate to prove that he meets the citizenship requirements to be President. Rather than just product the birth certificate (is he trying to hide something?) Obama’s legal team filed a motion to dismiss. One of the Lawyers filing the motion was Joe Sandler (sandler@sandlerreiff.com) of the Washington law firm Sandler, Reiff, and Young (see the document below).
If Mr. Sandler’s name sounds familiar it Should. He is the Legal Hit Man for the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). CAIR is an organization with terrorist ties, and has been as an un-indicted co-conspirator in the Holyland Foundation Hamas Funding trial.
Sandler’s role for CAIR has been to stifle people from telling the truth about Islam. For example, last year he tried to get Jihad Expert Robert Spencer banned from speaking to the Young American Foundation, by using a threatening letter. Sandler followed up by threatening columnist Mike Adams for writing about the Spencer incident.
Look, everyone deserves legal representation that is not the Issue. The real issue is why is a candidate for President of the United States, a guy who wants to take over the role of Commander-in-Chief in the war on terror, using the Lawyer for CAIR a group with terrorist connections, to represent him in a law suit? Once again the Junior Senator from Illinois leave us with questions and no answers.

I am a black catholic that was born in Africa and I have an european name. I use to go to church on Sundays and I cannot tell you what are sometimes the sermons conducted by the priest on the previous service (they have 3 services per day on Sundays). I am also not responsible that the Catholic Church was involved in sexual abuses over different people from both genders. Am I guilty or will I change my faith? Absolutely no. People that criticize Obama for being in the pews for 20 years may have the impression that he is a devoted and assiduous attendant of the church. I don’t think Obama in those years did attend church more than 64 times (an average of once per month) if not less. So Obama also is black by imposed definition because his mother was white and was raised by white people. It’s just nonsense to call him a racist when everything he is because of those whites that raised him and gave him so much love. This guy did everything just right in his life to be in the Ivy League (hard work and use of intellect). My wife is from Ukraine and my children are like Barrack and the only country they know is USA. This is their country and my country too because I am a US citizen. Let’s stop the madness, the first gift any child gets from his/her parents is his/her name so why that should be a problem?

Black Liberation Theology has it’s roots in Marxist violence. Martin Luther King was a Baptist who believed in non-violence. Jeremiah Wright and MLK would not share the same God or philosophy. Let’s keep the record straight.

McCain will drop Palin from the ticket, push in Lieberman and since ya’ll have purchased this rhetoric you will have no other choice than to vote for someone who is Pro-Choice – LOL – you would of been better off to stay on the issues.
The seeds of what you sow – GOP is backed into a corner and you will see just how “Mavericky” John McCain is in the next few weeks (he dislikes you just as much as he dislikes the Dems)…

The blind are leading the blind. Nuts is voting for either of the two party’s that have been shoved down our throats. Yes, if you are voting democrat or republican then you are nuts. How does it feel to be a sheep? You’ll make a great lamb chop!

to the people who are saying obama’s god is a false god. remember, as christians, only god can make that call. he has given you nothing to think other wise. unless your god is a god of works, in that case christ would not be needed, then you can not attack this man for his faith. the christian god is a god of grace. you don’t deserve it, it is a gift. i am a christian, i support obama. also, remember, if your god is who you think he is, then he is able to use an imperfect, even non christian leader for this nation.

Sounds infantile.

Palin and McCain. Religious psychos!

McCain is willing to go ‘all in’ on a bet and if this goes down any further he will.
He will have nothing to lose because “my friends” this is his only shot.

Well, let’s see if McCain will be fair enough to condemn such an extremist point of view!

Who are you to ‘define’ GOD?

Interviewer: Governor Palin, there is a report out saying you abused power as governor of Alaska. What is your response?
Sarah Palin: I did not abuse power. I mean, look at me. Do I look like someone who would drink more than one powerade in one sitting?
Interviewer: So you didn’t fire public safety commissioner for not firing your ex-bother-in-law from his job?
Sarah Palin: I’m gonna ignore that question, and talk about how my dog lied to me. I mean, I asked him to go to the dog house if he ever forgot to bring the paper in the morning, and he just stood there. I know he was lying, because… really… this old fashioned, this great country that I love very much, and we have lot of oil in alaska, and we can see Russia from one of our island. I think that is important. Because, if Putin rears his head, where is that, it’s Alaska.

What a sad, pathetic turn of events. McCain and Palin should be ashamed of themselves. They will be relegated to the dustbin of history soon enough.

McCain and Palin can’t sell their platform because even they realize that they have no substantive policies to present which differ significantly from those of the Bush years.
So instead they rely on instilling fear and hatred of somebody who is “different”, a philosophy that is consistent with the history of the extreme right of the GOP. They are all about morality, but care nothing about ethics.

My God is bigger than your God. An my God wants Obama to win.

The best that can be said about McCain is that he was an honorable man. Then he chose Palin; then he tried to incite his crowds; then he did nothing, immediately, to redirect the hatred and anger; then he stopped talking about issues = this is no longer a straight talking, honorable man – he has gone to the dark side. The crowds don’t want him, anyway, they want Palin. He is too old and confused to realize this. I will bet he retires from the Senate after the election. If he is elected, he better watch his back because all the hatred he has allowed to erupt will be directed at him because the “other side” will want Palin.

No tolerance, no understanding, no respect, no honesty, no integrity, no conscience, no compassion, no empathy -> The Republican Party. See it in bush. I wish bush were out of office long ago. McCain is somebody who deserves our respect, he has some of the understanding that would hopefully go to mending the divide of this country. As for palin – NO! The religious fanatics they conjour up for their rallies are disgusting and only server to deepen the divide of this country. Whoever is elected POTUS, we need to heal the divide and teach the tolerance and respect that this country has lost during the bush/cheney fiasco.

I knew race would work its way into this campaign. I am sure thier isn’t anything offensive at an Obama or Binden campaign stop,right. Give me a break!! ACRON, AYERS, WRIGHT, REZKO what about these guys? Imtiyaz Delawala (ABC reporter with Palin) has had nothing postive to write about the campaign from the beginning.

McCain lost his honor. Period.

Acorn smacorn. Did you ever see the testimony about how the electronic voting machines were rigged. Mr. Bush never really won the last one.

My god is better than your god. What a pathetic priest!
Remember, religion is false to the wise, true to the common people, but to political leaders it is most useful.
Wake up religious zombies! Educate yourself on religious history—it will show you that ALL gods are made in the image of man.

My point – you will vote for McCain regardless of what he does because you believe the campaign rhetoric – Hence, he can put anyone on his ticket for VP – and I think it will be Lieberman – Yeah! Actually, a ticket that I can consider.

Barney Frank allowed and pushed for the mortgages that destroyed the economy….hello, he’s a demoncrat…Obama never gave him the shake down. Bushy and Barak were flipping the cheerleaders on the sideline saying, go Barney go! Keep sippin’ you martini’s.

Eric
You truly are educated aren’t you?
Just reading all of the posts from those supporting Obama, I just can’t understand how you expect anyone to take you seriously when you have nothing but ugliness, hatred and profanity to prove your point.
Obama turned this into an issue on purpose. Apply the racist label to McCain. However, it’s going to backfire because it has made people understand what lengths Obama will go to to win.
For those who have HATED living under Bush, why did you? Why did you stay? Why not go to a country where you can be taken care of by the government, where socialist programs will make sure you never have to work if you choose not to? why not let other people work for you? You are still sitting at your keyboards, posting vile things because President Bush kept YOU safe for these past eight years.
Remember that when spouting your vile accusations.
EDUCATE yourselves.
Ignorance is NOT bliss.

I posted this before on another site, and here it is again. Dear Editor:
As a Hindu, I am truly offended that they allow these types of prayers at their campaign events. It might come as a surprise to the predominantly White GOP, but many Hindus, Muslims, and Buddhists also happen to be US citizens and can vote. Rally your base if you must, but please do not insult the rest of us. Second of all, Hinduism is a religion, Buddha and Allah were people. There’s no such God as “Hindu” as his “prayer” implies. His ignorance insults me as much as his prayer. I can’t believe that this is not a bigger story, given that in one fell swoop this guy has managed to insult more than half the world.

If you want to use the bible as the litmus test for qualified leadership, then in order to be in leadership you had to be the husband of 1 wife ( among other things). Thus John McCain does not qualify. But really folks, I think we can see the danger when we try to say a person is only a “true” Christian if they meet the qualifications we set forth. Lets keep politics in its own box and apply religion in our private lives, privately.

People ask how can you be religious and be Pro-Choice. It is simple, Why? Because no government should have a right to dictate to its people what they do with their bodies. Isn’t that what the Nazi’s did?
I was born and raised Catholic, I personally do NOT believe in abortion but I am definitely Pro-Choice. I would stand my faith up to any of you religious fanatics any time. If you are truly Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc. it is your job to teach the word of your faith not the government’s job to dictate to all, your beliefs. Remember separation of Church and State. Do your job!!
How can you believe in the Bible, Torah, Curran, etc. and the Ten Commandments and believe in war? Going to war should always be the last choice not the first, especially when it is based on deception and lies, Mr. Bush. I pray for our brave men and women in our military for there safe return home. I surely don’t pray for them to kill as many people as possible. And it makes me sick that some of you so called deeply religious people put God and war in the same sentence, paragraph, thought, etc. Your theology is no different than the Jihadists we are fighting. Idiots, think, and pray for forgiveness. Don’t you ever use God to justify a war.
I am now convinced that all of you Evangelists and Religious Fanatics out there are the true ANTICHRIST. There is NOW WAY my God would ever condone this kind of blasphemy. McCain you should repent for using thy Lord thy Gods name in vein. SINFUL & SHAMEFUL!!!
WAKE-UP AMERICA. The only chance for change is Obama/Biden. At least a chance!!

So you begin a Republican rally with a prayer…
Dear God,
People of every religion support Obama.
Please don’t let him win, cause the rest of the gods will think you suck !
NICE…

akamai — If you want to look at past elections we can look at a hypocritical double standard. Dan Quayle and GWB were criticized for serving in the National Guard. Bill Clinton excused and pardoned for burning his draft card. John Kerry was portrayed as a hero for service in Vietnam but John McCain’s 20+ years of service are irrelevant. Obama and Biden apparently had better things to do than wear their nation’s uniform. John McCain is criticized for marrying a millionaire but it was perfectly alright for John Kerry to marry a billionaire. One preacher makes a radical statement at a function attended by McCain and the media goes into frenzy but seems to have forgotten Reverend Wright condemning other races and saying G.D. America. If you want to look back we can.

Pam in Phx.,
Actually, the Bible talks a lot about other gods, which are false gods. The Israelites often started worshipping them, falling away from the one real God. See, for instance, the story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal.

I am disappointed by Rev. Conrad’s prayer. I don’t think God needs us to ask Him/God to protect His reputation. God…in his many forms…by the different names that people of all faiths all over the world call Him…would be capable of operating for the goodness of all without our intervention or begging Him to do so. Some believe He is wise and wonderful and good. And so, should we not be coming to Him, God, and asking for wisdom in this difficult time? Has it occurred to Rev. Conrad that Obama in the White House might be God’s plan? How God would honor his name?

McCain and Palin ate clearly trying to get Obama killed. They just don’t want to be punished for it. Anyone with a rational mind can sede they are trying to make Obama look like a secret muslim terrorist that will hurt America. Some nutcase is going to think he is being a good American if he kills Obama.
If that goes down… it will rip America apart. Someone needs to talk sanity into McCain before it is too late.

McCain Campaign is appealing to the worst of AMERICA. This is shameful.
They are taking us down a very divsive and destructive road.
They must stop this.

dunlike – We pray that a man who listens to hate ministry for 20 years is not allowed to lead one of the most powerful nations on earth. We enjoy as much freedom as any other nation on Earth. Other nations depend on us for their survival. We have no genocide and we live by our constitution and will unless Obama takes office. With all due respect, if this election does not directly affect you, you don’t get to choose, unless ACORN registers you for Obama.

Obama will win because he is christian. Rev Conrad just prayed for Obama to win.

Hmmm… Well, I think I’ll have to go with Obama on this one, to be honest.

There are quotes that Sarah should keep in mind. Don’t shoot the messenger! Play with fire and you get burned. He who lives in a glass house should not screw the neighbors. If you don’t have anything nice to say–SHUT UP! I liked her a lot better before she learned to talk. Now just seeing her face makes me change the channel.

The UNTOLD story is McCain’s ten year long friendship with G. Gordon Liddy, a convicted felon who not only broke into Watergate but planned to assassinate the columnist Jack Anderson and kill E Howard Hunt if he testified agains Nixon. The same Liddy that recently advised Branch Davidians to “aim high at the heads” of ATF agents who were reading their compound, becuase “they wear bullet-proof vests.”
Liddy has donated $5000 to McCain’s campaigns over the years, McCain reguralrly appears on his radio show and has said to Liddy “I love what you’re doing and what you stand for.”
And Liddy stands for killing ATF agents and journalists and breaking into political opponents offices.
Who’s the terrorist? Ayers or Liddy? And who’s really friends with who? Liddy and McCain, that’s who!
THIS STORY MUST GET OUT. Google McCain and Liddy…you can read all about it.

It sounds like he thinks that he is so righteous that he can threaten God and tell Him what to do.
I am surprised that he doesn’t know that God can protect his own reputation.
It is frightening that so many right-winged “so-called” Christians are so full of hate. They need to pray for God to cleanse their hearts and learn how to love those who are different from them.
God is love.

Troopergate Inquiry finds Sarah Palin GUILTY.
Sarah Palin VIOLATED THE TRUST Alaskans placed in her and BROKE THE LAW as their governor when she fired a state official who had refused to dismiss her ex-brother-in-law from his job as a state trooper, according a legislative report released Friday night.
Ten republicans and four democrats were unanimous in adopting the findings (as they were in initiating the investigation.)
http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20081011/pl_politico/14481_1

what is American turning into,men of dignity and those who preach in the name of God would do everything to assasinate another man’s character all in the name of presidency.McCain/Palin and his pastor are pure racists,is this the America that preaches a free-world,you call a fellow American a terrorist….what is wrong in being a Jew,Catholic,Muslim,Buddist,Hindu.i might as well call America a prostitute,it does business with rich Islamic(Arab)nations,without their oil Aamerica cannot breathe and yet you treat Arabs as filthy.Palin a proclaimed secessionist and McCain an adultrer who will gamble with America’s wealth will spark the hate campaign generations of Americans never knew.

Wow, the McCain campaign is desparate, seeing him trailing in the poll as the election draws near! They see that nothing has worked so far, so they go to their last card:
RACISM and RELIGIOUS FANATICISM!
“My God is better than your God”
“My God will kick your God’s ass”
Is America so naive as to believe the words that these religious wackos spew out?!?
This is EXACTLY the reason why our FOUNDING FATHERS, in their wisdom for foresight, have written into THE CONSTITUTION the SEPARATION OF CHURCH & STATE!!!
It’s these kind of RELIGIOUS WACKOS that said “THE EARTH IS FLAT” and imprisoned the Galileo Galilei for speaking the truth!
OUR FOUNDING FATHERS knew that if the Church gets control of the country, they will destroy it with their fanaticism and stupidity!

McCain is the most wishy washy SOB.
I guess the Republicans couldn’t do better than his and ole Pale Face Palin.

McCain is suffering from split personality disorder or he is not in control of his own campaign. I’m a die hard Democrat and Obama supporter. I think everyone who knows John McCain saw a little of the old McCain when he pushed back against his supporters yesterday talking about being afraid of Obama and that he is an Arab. I believe his senate colleagues and close associates know that the things that are coming out of his campaign aren’t McCain thoughts, it’s the Neo-Cons. What is the October surprise? More and better known Republicans coming out repudiating the McCain campaign and/or his candidacy this could be the beginning of the splitting of the party Neo-cons & religious zealots and moderates & fiscal conservatives or it could be when the moderates & fiscal conservatives take back their party

“I would also pray, Lord, that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their god—whether it’s Hindu, Buddha, Allah—that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons…”
Don’t religious people beleive:
“I am a jealous God, a vengeful God. Thou shalt have no other God before Thee.”
Isn’t recognition and believing there are other Gods blasphemy? And isn’t blasphemy also a sin against God? Do these people no longer know what their beleif is and where they’re going with it? Many of my republican friends claim the GOP was “hijacked” by the “religious nutjobs” of this country.

I’m voting FOR Obama because I’m a Christian and believe in God. I believe it is my Christian duty to vote FOR Obama. It’s a duty I will enjoy and feel good about fufilling.
Obama/Biden ’08!

What is happening to America? How can a so called pastor pray this kind of prayer? Is he saying he and McCain are the only ones that have the right to pray to the real God while others like Obama and his supporters does not? May God have mercy on us all!

kelly,
you ae correct. the only ones left, unfortunately are the mob-calling for obama’ head and blood. so sad.
I am a democrat. and i will be glad when the REAL Rebublican come out again.
all of the well meaning, thinking rebs have left the building.

These hate mongers that have been threatening and even booing their own candidate, John McCain, make me sick. I have been a life long Republican (60+ years) and have never witnessed anything so disgusting. The Republican party is the party of Abraham Lincoln, the man who freed the slaves. The behavior of those in attendance at McCain and Palin’s rally’s is enough to make Lincoln turn over in his grave. As a result, I plan to sit this election out.

I am a Catholic and I am praying to my God that Obama wins, for the good of the country. I’ll admit I’m also praying that the radical Evangelicals in this country learn how many sins they commit every day as they try to use God’s will for their own purposes.
The radical Evangelicals in this country have created their own concepts of Christianity and I fear them as they continue to try to take over my country, and try to redefine my own faith. I want my religious freedom from these people. Why can’t I find that in America any more?

Maverick(Mav’әr•ik)n. 1 a person characterized by abuse of power, irratic behavior, provoking hate and fear, walking the fine line of bigotry and racism, shooting from the hip, leading from the gut, conveniently shifting positions, and capable of thinking my god is better than your god (even if the other guy shares thier same belief); synonym – McCain, Palin, machiovelian
I’m a Soldier and I can’t believe McCain has stooped so low.

McCain is not mentally or physically capable of being president. Palin is not fit to set foot in the White House.

During the Iran-Contra hearings Oliver North also invoked God, causing Senator George Mitchell to chastise him, pointing out, “God does not take sides in American politics.” And just to be certain North got it, he said it a second time. It was a moment I will never forget and made me appreciate Senator Mitchell forever.

The prayer in question indicates that there are numerous gods rather than the One God that is Father of us all, Christians, Muslims, Hindu & Buddhists. The difference is how God is approached. Actually the nations of the world are divided among themselves. It would be better to honor the many faiths to work for harmony. We are dealing with the angry emotional states of many cultures. We should be working together for the good of the world rather than creating more divisions. The Koran of the Muslims contains many references to Christianity. Buddha was Christ of the Orient. We all have a common soul. We should be respecting each other and allowing the anger and resentment to dissipate so that we all can work for the good of the planet rather than to remain so divided as to destroy ourselves. We will never have only one approach but the key to working together is to respect each other’s point of view and work for continued good of the masses.

Dear Disgusted Republican,
Pleae don’t sit this one out! America can unite under one starry sky, one sunny day, one great leader fulfilling our one Constitution. Please exercise your sacred right as a free American citizen and cast your vote on election day. I happen to be voting for my candidate, Senator Obama, but you must follow your heart and don’t sacrifice your right. We must be united and move forward even though we may not agree on every single line item every single time. We are blessed with the opportunity to have a leader with character and integrity and hope at this very confluence when we need him the most to take us forward and reclaim our position in the world. Your fellow citizens are relying on each of you.

I’ll see your Pastor and raise you one Witch Doctor!
(not to mention the other Pastors that John McCain “palls” around with!)

It sounds like it’s the McCain supporters who are the dumb ones now. It used to be that Obama’s supporters were the mindless ones. These latest supporters are not self-educated. I mean come on! How can anyone confuse Barack Obama with Osama bin Laden? All they care about is terrorists, ignoring the fact that they are losing money every second with this economic crisis. What the hell are they doing? Seems like Palin trying to connect Obama to Ayers is backfiring big time…tut tut tut

I’m sure if God is praying for anyone, he’s praying for the souls of these two republicans.

It is very sad to see any election be slanted to garner votes through invoking hatred of one candidate from the other. Americans must remember international eyes are on us more than ever, with the election and the economic crisis. The rhetoric that McCain and Palin are invoking will, and is causing more division in this country along the most historic line of hatred in US history, racial lines. If they had a solid platform and position on the issues to stand on, they would not have to question character. They need to think deeper and realize that if they lose the election, it will be President Obama they will have to look to, and he will be leading this country. If hate is stoked now, we don’t need a JFK type event to happen to shatter a country already tattered.

You seem overly concerned about socialism…but seem to forget that Bush is inacting the doctrine of socialism (which is shared risk) right now with the financial meltdown and tax paying citizens footing the cost to prop up the economy. So even IF in a wild blue moon Obama was a socialist…Bush beat him to the punch. ;-)

McCain Campaign inciting riots & Tucker Bounds is an idiot, every day this Election is getting out of hand. All of the people at Mcsame’s rallys are shouting out dangerous things we are not living in the old days, stop the damn madness, I do not want to see Obama and his family getting killed over all of this rage and anger.

Brenda, I encourage you and anyone else who thinks they have the power to judge another’s faith to check out the Matthew 25 network.
Obama/Biden 2008!

Downstater: Bounceback!
Talk about hijacked – your party is overtaken with evangelicals! John McCain is scrambling to stop the madness now. He knows he made a huge mistake letting the religious right control his campaign from the start. He knows he’s got too little time to redeem himself now and he’s desperate against a man of real character, knowledge and grace.

chattyway, your sources of information are the scary thing here.

As a white Christian woman from the midwest I am so ashamed of this behavior. My God does not condone hate. As an Independent I have already written to the RNC 3 times this week complaining about these rallies. If this keeps up it will tarnish the Republican brand for years.

This is a real embarrassment to the GOP. McCain is not just losing HIS campaign, he destroying the Republican brand so that Dems will have historic wins in every other race as well. RIP GOP.

Can it please be a requirement that people research their “news” before sharing it here. It’s exhausting trying to explain to people that email forwards are not reputable sources of information.

Thank you, Mike Masse. I agree with you 100%. Class and truth will rule out, overall.

I am sure that God has more important things to do than worry about the outcome of an American election, especially since HE already knows the outcome. ;-)Let us all pray for both the campaigns, whether we are Hindus, Muslims, Christians or Jews, because after this, whoever the next President is…he will have to bring this country thru some very hard times and bring us all back together as a Nation that is divided amongst itself. ;-).

Another three weeks of this and McCain’s “base” will be down to a trailer park bowling league somewhere in Oklahoma.

Although our nation’s economic house is on fire, John McCain isn’t unveiling proposals to put out the fiscal flames. Instead, he is pursuing the presidency by taking the low road, as he and his surrogates attack Barack Obama in harsh, personal terms. It’s hard to believe this is the same man who in 2004 said of the Swift-boat attacks against John Kerry: “I deplore this kind of politics. I think the ad is dishonest and dishonorable.”

GOP will be NO MORE after this election cycle!!!

I attended a rally in Indiana for OBAMA on Weds. Let me tell you, there were over 25,000 at the State Fairgrounds,,,this is Indiana people, this state has not voted democratic since 1964… Well, guess what a new poll is showing that OBAMA may be ready to take the lead and early voting is at a HIGH!!! Can you believe it, OBAMA is going to carry INDIANA…

Of all the pastors in this country how did McCain manage to find this clown !!
I have to say, he has an extreme ability to attract dumb people.

Our real colors as a Nation are starting to bleed through. The supressed and hidden Racism is starting to eat at the table right next to us. MCcain and Palin fed it table scraps until it could stand on its own, and now this sick,seething,foaming at the mouth, blood thirsty animal is back and hungrier than ever. If you throw rocks at a sleeping Grizzley ,when He arrises, Hungry,blind with anger-then guess what, he kills and destroys everything in sight. A race war brokerd by Palins ignorance of our country’s past and McCains obviuous disdane for a younger “Black” Man is gonna take attention of the economic woes allright and the sick thing is McCains own Daughter , a person of color could end up paying a disasterous price ecause of some sick mis-guided racist taking Palins Rhetoric to heart. Sweet Jesus, They know not what they’ve done and now we all will pay a terrible toll.

Christ was not pro-war. Christ was strongly in favor of helping the poor. Christ was anti-gluttony. Christ was obviously NOT a Republican. The republicans have tried to hijack Christ for their own selfish ends. This needs to stop. Don’t elect McCain.

If Palin had even a miniscule amount of dignity and/or ethics, she would ask to be removed from the ticket so that McCain might have a remote chance to win the election.
She doesn’t get it. She doesn’t deserve any kind of government post and simply can’t be trusted.
As for being a born again Christian … doesn’t look like it to me.
Obama acts like way more of a Christian than she does.
Praying Obama wins.
May the Republican party rest in peace.

Why does Obama have to be bad for McCain to be good?
That is the tenor of their campaign. I want you to vote for me by voting against this guy. Not that I have anything to offer you, and he does….but he’s a bad man….
The good news is there really are more intelligent people than ignorant ones, who just need an excuse to feed their biases.
Another thought……didn’t the last time a Pastor prayed for the Democratic Convention to be torrentially rained out, yet it was the Republican Party who had to cancel the 1st night of their Convention due to a hurricane (which thanks to God was not as bad as expected), nevertheless there is a certain irony in that. Maybe people should be careful of what they pray for. It reminds me of Balaam, he wanted to curse the Israelites after God had specifically told him not to do so because they were Blessed, His chosen people. But Balaam decides to do it anyways, yet everytime he opened his mouth to curse them, blessings came out. Read Numbers chapter 22, it’s really interesting, and a reminder that we should be very careful about whom we try to curse.

Again, those supporting the Democratic ticket, it is more important to actually talk to people you know, tell them about factcheck.org, or fightthesmears.com, and if possible contact your local Obama camp office and find a way to volunteer, or just go to barackobama.com and you’ll find ways to make this possible. This next 24 days we will see all kinds of wild and crazy moves from the GOP, they want to stay in power and they will do whatever it takes, so the closer it gets to election day the harder we have to work to make sure the don’t do what they did in 2000 or 2004. Let’s work hard, folks.
Obama/Biden ’08

McCain’s campaign was irresponsible in allowing these attacks to go on as long as they did and it sounds like the only reason he has started to try to calm the irrational anger and prejudice that his own campaign has generated is because it is backfiring against him so badly. When you do one thing and the people in your campaign do another its hard to believe that you are telling the truth. McCain used to be someone that I thought I could respect, but this McCain isn’t worthy of my time, much less my vote.
This new America that McCain and Palin want to create, one where the truth is anything that you want it to be with no regard for the actual facts. An America where your character is questioned and assaulted because you live near someone, or know someone who is not judged worthy. The Patriot Act has already eroded our civil rights to the point that this country is close to losing the very basic rights that it was founded on. The Republican’s party’s view of big government is very different from my own. A government that leaves it’s people to suffer, let’s companies run amok with no regulation, and wants to control every thing that we do or say is a lot bigger in my eyes than one that supports my civil rights and provides the basic services and controls that a civilized nation should have.
No amount of “social programs” or even earmarks is going to come close to the cost of the war. We have been lied to for the last 8 years, with an administration that manipulated the facts to meet their needs. McCain and Palin are doing the same thing in their campaign, does anyone really think that is going to suddenly change if they win the election?

I remember a friend telling me that in school she waitressed at a bar in Indiana and that a bright young black man also a student came in. She actually feared for him enough to suggest that he not stay long for his own safety. If Obama is doing well then thank the Lord. By the way, me thinks the pastor a tad paranoid and maybe clouded by fear and doubt. Faith and love have zero to do with party affiliation. Could the Lord possibly live by such narrow confines. Besides such a comparison is worldly thinking. There is nothing to fear one can always rely on faith.

If we can set aside politics for a moment and look at its is clear that both sides have some explaining to do.
Calling in to question Senator Obama’s pass associations is a legitimate matter. Were he applying for employment federal Government or private sector, or seeking clearance he would be subject to a back ground check. We all know that. If Ayers name came up or some of the other doggy associates he would be viewed with similar suspicion. That is simply the facts of life. Right?
Obama, by trivializing the inquiry with I was 8 years old is wrong and is avoiding the issue because he knows the period in question is after he became an educated adult. And, because it’s political suicide to admit now except he is caught, which of course is what he has done as new information leaks out.
McCain’s Ideas to bring it front and center is expected. His approach is wrong.

Sarah Palin brings up the word abortion in a rally, Republicans use this word every four years but what they dont tell you is the thousands of Innocent civilians that have died because of the two wars. How can the Republicans be pro-life when it comes to unborn babies but from infant to adult your life means nothing, you can’t have it both ways !!

People have the nerve to question Obama and his friends, but what about Palin and the AIP. Todd was a member of this group. And their leader, Vogler, was an America-hater McCain was on the board of the US Council for World Freedom who assisted the Contra and help sell weapons to Iran. McCain helped Sunco buddies get a sweetheart deal on public land, then of course there’s Charles Keating who his wife kept ties with….so before you start throwing stone make sure you don’t live in a glass house

In Canada, this kind of thing would be considered a hate crime.
Who are you (Pastor Conrad) to say your God is better than anyone else’s …. what is God now a Republican?
Unbelievable …

Just who is the real Sarah Palin, palling around with liars.

Does Palin have any virtues at all??

And where are the legitimate religious leaders in this country that need to get control of these clowns and expose them for the frauds and bigots that they are?

So according to this Pastor Arnold, Democrats and Republicans don’t pray to the same God? Is he out of his evangelical mind?

Hey Jake where is your blog on ACORN, Obamas deep connection to them, Ayers, and Obamas lies?

We all know who John McCain is, we know of his younger days in the Navy, his time in captivity, his years in Senate, some of them not so good for his reputation, his flinging with women his houses, his cars his grades at annapolis, how many planes he crashed, his hot temper and his reputation of working with the opposite side to the chagrin of some of his supporters. Yet, we know nothing of Obamas college days in New york, how and who paid for his Harvard Education or exactly his accomplishments as a community activist. And other what he wants us to know in his books there are not many people that I have heard talk of all these periods of time. Character should mean something to all of us and I am not suggesting his friendship with black nationalist such as Wright or a man who use to be named Don Sutton or even his freindship with Mr. Ayers is any of my business but we are all judged, whether fair or not, by the company we keep.
=================
You are so right and since I have lived with some really awful brothers that have done terrible things, I have made my choice. My brothers did not corrupt me because I am an individual and I make my own choice. I still love them and even visit with them when possible. I hope that their lives will not one day cost me my success.
That is exactly why Obama is getting my vote. If we can look over the things McCain has done in his life time, and he actually did them, not an assoicate; then, I am sure people can overlook an associate that did something to someone when Obama was 8; and when it comes to pastors, all of the candidates should be disqualified if this is the measure by which we measure who should be our next president.
Obama/Biden

ACORN has been investigated how many times? 9 I believe. How many have gone to jail? None, I believe.
This is just another gimmick and the media knows it. SO to those that complain about why the media is not doing this or that. Please tell me how you learned of ACORN and Obama? I rest my case.

McCain is having trouble on three fronts, Obama, the Economy and now Palin and now Joe Six Pack wont listen to her!!!!

ubu1991 – you are SO correct – it comes back to the Public Financing issue – which Obama backed out of – guess who’s paying for the MSM democratic propapanda? We all just covered Wall Street like an endless overdraft account to fund the Obama campaign…

The kind of desperation exibited by the Republicans indicates that this is the death rattle of the GOP … RIP

In response to “Moderate” regarding John McCain’s rebuke of those lunatics yelling violence and hatred at rallies:
1. There is uncertainty if “kill him” was meant for Bill Ayres or Obama. Neither is acceptable. There is, however, no doubt about who the target (including “off with his head”) was for most of these epithets — Barack Obama. The bigger issue here, of course, is the momentum by McCain’s campaign to unleash such divisiveness and anger. It’s dangerous and reprehensible, regardless of who is the target, and would be equally reprehensible if emanating from Obama’s campaign. But it is not!!!
2. My anger at John McCain continues because even as he rebuked his audience, the inflaming rhetoric continued in his campaign. Sarah Palin has not “dialed it back,” nor has she suggested anyone else should. To my mind, this proves that McCain was responding to pressure rather than being enough of a leader to stem the tide of the fear and hatred they have been unleashing and legitimizing.
3. I’m not sure what you mean about Obama’s “fluid” accounts of his interactions with Bill Ayers, and the implication that there is some deep, abiding policy advising or connection going on between the two men. For heaven’s sake! He knew the guy slightly — sat on a board with him; met him occasionally in the course of a career in law, community engagement, and politics. And whatever Bill Ayers did in his youth, he’s now a respected member of the Chicago educational community. Republicans and Democrats alike who have worked with the two men on the Annenberg Foundation project have stated that it’s preposterous to think this is some great conspiracy.
Beyond that, while I most certainly don’t condone the actions of any militant protest organization that uses or speaks violence, Ayres’ activities were in the context of the 1960′s when college students had been killed on the Kent State campus, Civil Rights activists were being brutalized and killed, etc.
The rhetoric of that era exploded into fear and violence — this is precisely why John McCain and all those affiliated with him needs to take care. We are in a time of great crisis, and it looks like it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Our leaders MUST work to create calm and communication between people of opposing viewpoints — we are near to a flashpoint, when irrational, overly-frightened and angry people on any end of the political spectrum could move to violence.
We need rational, responsible voices that bring us together, not further inflame that divide. John McCain has proven that he does not have that ability — whether or not he has the drive to.

This is scary, plain scary. (that’s an understatement)
I hope this is as low as they go. Racist comments should not be tolerated in this country.

WAKE UP AMERICA !!!! OBAMA is a SOCIALIST in sheeps cloathing , Facts are facts . He has THE most liberal voting record in the US senate . WHAT gives hime the right to raise taxes on well off people that have busted their ##### to get to where they are ? What IS “fair ” according to him is nothing more than income redistribution AKA socialism !!!!! What gives him the right to hand out checks to people that have never worked a day in their life .!!!! Facts are facts HE WILL raise taxes on every one in order to support his LIBERAL SOCIALIST agenda . IT is the only way to pay for his HANDOUTS … I will never put a LIAR or any one that has the acquaintances that he has behind him in the OVAL OFFICE …

“because there are millions of people around this world praying to their god—whether it’s Hindu, Buddha, Allah—that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons. And Lord, I pray that you will guard your own reputation, because they’re going to think that their God is bigger than you, if that happens.”
Somehow that manages to be funny, pathetic, and scary all at the same time.

Complete with fancy production values like a camera mounted on a crane, The leader of the Nation of Islam refers to Barrack Obama as “the messiah” before a crowd of Black Muslims. See it yourself. But of course, do not judge Obama because he went to the Million Man March, or because his pastor of 20 years was a good pal of Farrakhan. And don’t suppose that Farrakhan is more than just another guy in Barrack Obama’s neighborhood on the Southside of Chicago.

Sarah Palin is the best choice of all 4 candidates by a long shot. Obama is an exposed SOCIALISTIC, RACIST, ANTI AMERICAN, who is in bed with ACORN AYERS ALINSKY AUCHI, and I’m not even out of the A’s yet.

Racist Separatist Farrakhan strongly endorses his “messiah” Obama

WAKE UP AMERICA !!!! OBAMA is a SOCIALIST in sheeps cloathing , Facts are facts
Would that be giving US tax dollars to the bankers?
That’s McCain’s housing plan, you know.
$300 billion to the banks. Is that socialist enough for you?
What’s your beef with socialism/liberalism anyway?
They are just words you cannot spell.
That would be “sheep’s clothing”.
Be specific. You dont want children to get healthcare? You dont want elderly to have healthcare? What’s your beef with socialism, really?
Did I miss something? Be specific and omit the name calling. It doesnt add anything to the consideration. This is a consideration, you know.
No one is telling the rest of us what to do. You are not a dictator of ideas, so spell it out.
England got your tongue? Dont you think we can do it better than they do? Canada got your tongue?
Again, dont you think, if you made it a priority, we can make a GREAT medical system?
Not enough MD’s? How about a federal med school in every part of the country? Let them pay for school and room and board with a few years of service. Bet there would be a lot of voluteers?

Alaways blogs that are negative to Palin, and MCcain, while Obama ACORN Farrakhan, Ayers, CAC, etc go uninvestigated, or reported on by mainstream media. That is PURE EVIL.

Sarah Palin needs to continue exposing Obama for the FRAUD he is because the cowardly media wont do it. SARAH PALIN ROCKS!!!!!!!

Obama is a radical and his past,background scares a lot of people. Like it or not, there are lot of people in America who think Obama is a Muslim or with some connections to that religion and they dont want him as President.

Let me get this straight…
It’s okay for Americans to hate foreigners and be racist, but it’s not okay for foreigners to criticize American policy. Notice a touch of hypocrisy there?
Truth is, many of these alleged allegations about Ayers, Rezko, ACORN, and others are more complicated than they seem and have been proved wrong by nonpartisan organizations. They are mere smear tactics. So stop believing Limbaugh, Hannity, and O’Reilly.

Since when is wanting a half deranged trooper who has a licence to carry a gun, and a tazer fired a bad thing, when he admittedly tazered a 10 year old kid, shot moose illegaly, and alledgedly threatening to kill her family members.
Oh yea, I forgot Obama, and his supporters are all for born alive babies not recieving medical attention.
How dare that baby be born alive.

Anyone that’s votes for Obama is just wrong.

The MSM misses? How about missing Cindy McCain and her father maintaining ties to Keating for over a decade following his conviction, and the $$ they made? As posted earlier, how about Sarah and Todd and the secessionists? If you don’t READ, you don’t know that the Annenberg Challenge which Obama was involved in as a Board member –well Mr. Annenberg, the UK Ambassador under Nixon, obviously didn’t KNOW that Mr. Ayers had bombed US stuff when he granted him $42+ million for Chicago,(his daughter must not have known either)
but the story goes:An 8-member Board of Directors made up of representatives of organizations that had no vested interest in Annenberg money was recruited to approve grants, hire an executive director and project staff, and determine which funds could count towards the required $98.4 million match.[19][35] The Board of Directors was handpicked by Adele Smith Simmons, president of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, who was asked by Gregorian to “work with foundation leadership to create a board that would be diverse, including people from the community, business interests and civic leaders, and include no more than nine people.”[19][35]
At a meeting with Simmons and Patricia Albjerg Graham, Deborah Leff suggested that Barack Obama would make a good board chairman.[37] After meeting and being impressed by Obama, Graham told Obama that she wanted him to be chairman of the Board of Directors.[37] Obama said that he would agree to serve as chairman if Graham would be vice chairman, to which Graham agreed.[37]
A 23-member group of Chicago parents, teachers, activists, funders, administrators, local school council members and academics who were involved in school reform, called the Chicago School Reform Collaborative, was chosen to design the initial Request for Proposals….
You can sit on the Board with people, work on a specific project with them and not KNOW them. Been there, done it.
It is possible to live near and work with people about whom you know very little. How many of YOU, if you heard the name William Ayers before 2006 would have remembered THE William Ayers of the 1960s? I was 18 in 1969, I didn’t remember. I would have worked right with him and never known. Ooops.

Can you tell how worried the Obama koolaid drinkers are about Sarah Palin still? They realize that she is the real deal, with a real record to stand on, executive expeience. Obama couldnt even clean up his district of Southside Chicago, how is going to clean up this country? He’s not

It sounds like all of the conspiracy theorists are converging on the Palin rallies- McCarthyism conspiracy theorists, shadow government conspiracy theorists, terrorism conspiracy theorists, xenophobic conspiracy theorists. While every vote counts, these people color “legitimately concerned on issues” citizens who support the McCain ticket in an unfavorable light.
These are dressings on what would’ve been outright racial slurs 2 – 3 decades ago.
Raising socialism or terrorism conspiracy theories as the main reason to not vote Obama makes the person sound like they agree and could’ve voted for his policies if they didn’t fear him based on loony conspiracy theories.

Coherent
Obama had no choice but to denounce Farrakhan,,,,,,,and Wright, and Pfleger, and Rezko, and Ayers,and Acorn, etc. The Pattern is obvious and troubling. You people are out of your minds.

Wwe spiritual folks need to get our wits about us and stop being duped. President Obama is the only hope in my lifetime that abortions will halt. During the Clinton administration abortions dropped 34% because of the political and economic stability. Bush has done nothing except use the pro-life vote to get elected. Democrats are the only ones who will seriously deal with the cause of abortion and promote healthy families.

Palin doesn’t scare any of us…she is so stupid…she’s irrelevant.

I am follwoing this election from the Philippines. This is truly a sad and disturbing time in American history. This election and the tone of the campaigns is making the Philippines look like an advanced democracy.
When the history is written, I am sure What stared in the 1980′s as ‘trickle down” and the ‘laffer curve’ (yes that is right Laffer, named after Art Laffer, the USC business professor
The system is coming unglued — and one side is whipping up hatred and animosity among people who will already vote for them making it nearly impossible to bring the country together after the election, and the other provides no real specifics about how to move ahead.
The American peoople are going to get exactly what they desrve by not demaning more from candidates about what they will do as president and how they will do it, not dredging up innuendos about what they have or have not done in the past.
this current process is what producced George Bush — need I say more.
Sign me out as a disgusted American.

Wow, just wow! Three more weeks of this garbage and Palin can go back to the middle of nowhere, McCain can hide back in the Senate and Obama and the rest of the adults can get busy trying to fix this mess.

Sarah Palin trumps Obama and Biden all day long. She has run a city, and a state. She has balanced a budget, and cut spending. What has Barack done again? lined his pockets with money from Tony Rezko, Acorn, and Fannie Mae. Left his district in Chicago as bad as it ever was.

Bob
You say Farrakhan has done good things.
Give me a break brother, are you kidding me? Yea he has done some good things, but so have many others. The difference is others have done good things without spewing racially polarizing hate, and rhetoric. Call whites “almost human” “blue eyed devils” Save your BS for some liberal caucasion.

McCain has always been about pure ambition and not about country. His first ambition was to measure up to his dad in the Navy but that was a failure. His best reputation in the Navy was as a partier and carouser that even puts Bill Clinton to shame. He crashed so many planes as a Navy pilot that even he came to realize he never was going to measure up. His hot-headed temperament was also a big problem in the Navy. He then decided to enter politics and immediately became heavily associated to Keating. After the Keating 5 scandal, he tried to make himself a ‘reformer’ but has always been beholden to lobbyists, many of which are running his campaign now. He formed the corrupt ‘Reform Institute’ in the 90′s which has been a haven for ‘soft-money’ lobbyist contributions. His so-called ‘maverick’ label came after the 2000 election because he was so soundly beat by Bush (using dirty Rove-style politics) that he rebelled against the Republican party in disgust and anger, not because of any principals. John McCain has always been about blind ambition, never about his country. Despite his so-called image as the straight-talk express and a man of honor, John McCain has never been a man of honor and principals. It is not suprising he would stoop to anything to win this election, including his ridiculous pick of Palin with all her baggage, and the use of these reprehensible smear tactics, because McCain has always been about blind ambition.

Lou NH
Of course laws need to be acknowledged. Sarah Palin wasnt convicted of breaking any laws. She did nothing wrong. The commitee headed 2 by Obama surrogates, had to find something on Palin. The ethics finding is nothing but a sham. Here is a link and photo that shows how biased, and partisan the investigation became after she was tapped as veepee.

Actually I have authored about twenty books and am a professor, and am the eternal student, learning never ends if you really believe in education. It is also obvious you cannot recognize eduction if you cannot read the fluency and speed of these words, the coherence of the arguments and ideas, the natural structuring and accurate choice of words. I teach writing, I would probably give you a C, maybe a B if you came to class and showed some honest effort.

Yo, simple4life, Barack is going to be the next president of this great nation. I would hardly call that immersed in Black nationalism and radicalism. He’s completely mainstream. Where does that put you?

Bob
Take your attitude, and stick it where only Barack and Larry Sinclair would find it.
I will always choose an American Hero (Sarah Palin) over an unAmerican zero (barack obama)

The only way obama becomes president is with the massive help of liberal media and spewing 24/7 anti-Palin/ Mccain propaganda. Obama, Acorn and the liberal media are literally trying to steal this election, and they are succeeding, but havent suceeded yet. The American people are beginning to see through the media, and really question Obama past, and what his policy would be.

rightsaid…an American citizen, praying that I am doing the right thing.

no problem :)

Badger. I think you mean
Sarah Palin — American Idiots’ Hero
Barack Obama — Percent UnAmerican: Zero

Many of you are only saying the things you say because you are racist. You think having a Black as president will cause trouble. But, I beg to differ. This country is in such a mess that If I were you; I’d be glad to have anyone other than yourselves to try and make a difference. Oh and I’m not racist I am a victim of my ancestry being mixed with white blood I’m neutral. I just can’t believe what come out of your pea brain sometimes. It’s hard to believe you are Adults. What your children must think of you. And those of you who hold God in one hand and hate in the other. Lord help you; and I pray for this continent.

I think that all of McCain’s supporters here “Rest the case” made by representative Lewis. IWallace did, after all, repent. SARAH IS A SORRY EXCUSE.

NO MORE EXTREAM RADICAL EVIL, OBAMA
HUSSEIN.

Wow, it’s really telling that I was talking about the Malcom X biography, and how you could take passages from it in a hundred places to make him out to be an Islamic radical and hater of the “white devil” and then I looked further down the comments and what do I find? You, Badger, doing exactly what I said could be done with a book (or a person’s statements or speeches). You took some passages from Barak’s book, pasted them together to create a collage of your choosing. But here is the question: 1) Have you ever read that entire book? I don’t believe you have, and 2) If you read that book, or any other book, are you seeking the truth or are you cherry picking to feed your pre-existing biases? You cannot grow intellectually if you only keep your same opinions and cannot try to see other perspectives to learn. Just some helpful advice because in a way I honestly feel sorry for you, Badger. The hard part is that I suspect you’d cut my throat if you had the opportunity, because you hold hatred, for whatever reasons, ones you might examine as you lie in bed tonight troubled by this message.

I just don’t know what to say about Mccain but Obama is right he is eractic. Mccain isn’t a real conservative and definately not a right winger, thats sean Hannity’s crowd. I think Mccain has bit off more than he can chew and it is a shame that he has to end his career this way. What a waste of time.

Megan, I won’t give up, especially when I realized, by reading more comments, that there are some reeeeally wise and wonderful Americans out there. Americans who understand what God is and should be, or that state their thoughts so intelligently, ones that SEE very clearly because they have their minds open to seek truth. I see many of them on this site, and then there are those attackers. You know what, I think I see a real division this time around in the elections, a real polarization that has in the past few days gotten even stronger, that anger. It’s like this one writer here who doesn’t waste his time with long messages, and hits the heart of things. He wrote something like:
McCain Campaign = anger and fear
Obama Campaign = hope
There are more Americans with hope than anger and fear, hurray Obama wins in 2008!
However, I am not an idealist, I say put the change in and character will out, we’ll know whether Obama is a great man or a snake by what he does. I am thoroughly convinced at this point that he has heart, intelligence, soul, strength to lead, wisdom and experience with building coalitions of empowerment. I hope I am right, but we’ll see in time. But I seem to be ok on judging character, I felt like crying when I saw Bush take office, I knew the wars and the bad economy was inevitable, I knew he’d hurt our great nation, and after time his character outed. Obama’s I predict will out that he is indeed a great leader whom we needed at this time in our nation’s history. If he’s a little proud, he deserves to be. Ben Franklin once said that he never could get rid of that, he tried to be humble, but he ended up being proud of his humility.

that message from me for Megan was for Lou-NH, mistake in reading :-)

Ok, what would be worst than a BUSH, NOBAMA. FACT !

Americans was dumb enought to ??? elect BUSH TWICE. Crooked election ! Elect NOBAMA you deserive what you you get. BUSH gave you change, NOBAMA will give you disaster!

Badger, be careful, if you keep attacking good people who mean you no harm, you’ll end up in a bad place. You will get what you pay for, so make sure and work hard to make a lot so you can pay a bunch and get a bunch. He who has much, more will be given.

Badger, I’m curious (honestly), do you consider yourself a racist? The reason I am asking is because I do consider you very racist, you have belied that in a hundred ways, but then I wondered if a racist is aware of his racism and chooses to be this, or does a racist think himself not racist and is completely unaware of it. Do you consider yourself a racist?

Bob
I got the impression that though you support obama, you were actually above the obama camp, and surrogates when it came to playing the race card. Boy, was I wrong
:(

I just wonder how in the heck our country and our people have become so petty. The most important question for all of us should be “Who will try the hardest to fix this mess we’re in, and who has the best plans?” We all have “pasts,” and if you say you don’t you’re lying. Please please please, can we just get back to the REAL issues?

Why is it that so many of the people who profess to believe most fervently in God think that God needs them to explains things to Him? I can only conclude that their so-called faith is a fraud. If they really believed in the wisdom and benevolence of God, they would be asking God for guidance, not that they need to instruct God on how to act and what will happen, if He fails to do as they demand. People like Arnold Conrad are tiny little people who misappropriate religion to try to make themselves feel bigger. They know that no one would actually listen to them, so they claim to be speaking in the name of God. They are an outrageous insult to our intellence to to people of real faith.

Simple4life, I agree. We all need to do our own research and the “news” media isn’t the place to do it. I’ve visited both candidates’ websites several times and am still debating. I’m under whelmed with both candidates. I have little respect for people who simply vote along party lines like sheep, rather than doing their own research and evaluating the candidate—not just looking at the D or R behind the name.

the word “Allah” is an arabic word for God used not only by muslims but also by arab catholics, othothox, protestants and other christians

If the religion is doing its job right as Jesus intended to, people like pastor Arnold Conrad does not have come out and say such a stupid statement. Imagine how desperate he is to say that when Obama, a fellow christian, becomes a president the god has lost. Pastor Arnold Conrad is one of those religious leaders Jesus would condemn. Shame on you pastor Arnold Conrad, Do your job as the right religious leader instead of trying to meddle with politics. That only lowers fellow christians. Shame, shame, shame!!!

DoTheJobRight, I agree, but this has roots going back a few decades at least, that I can see. Fallwell gathered that right wing fundamentalist Christian group, and that was the root of the mistake. A religious group became a political group, all voting Republican, which is how Reagan won. Once that was formed, it seemed that this political group representing “God” could then legislate a more moral majority. So he is praying with his religiopolitical group for their Candidate, who of course God supports because they represent God. It’s a little bit of moonwalking with logic, but it makes sense to them. And they are RIGHT, you know.

After that, came legislation… prayer in schools, controlling sex education policy (abstinence being the education), forcing equal time for creation “theory”, banning abortion, pretty soon it’s more and more until what we could have is some radical right Christian society that is, in essence, the same as a radical Muslim society. Bombing an abortion clinic is like Islamics blowing up some establishment that sells alcohol, like whatever they decide God wants is what they force the nation to become.

Wild, I think Jesus Christ and John McCain for you, both of whom you picture white. The ones who claim “white guilt” will cause people to vote do not understand the reasons that a man, regardless of his color, will vote for a candidate, regardless of his color. I an many others really really honestly forget about that, it doesn’t even enter our minds, and then suddenly “color” comes up, but it always seems to be from the side supporting McCain. Do I talk about McCain’s “whiteness”, of course not because that is the hegemonious structure, the “status quo”, the white man’s world that I forgot some of you still live in. I swear to you as God is my witness when I just read you wriitng about Obama being Black I suddenly realized he was “black”, that’s not how I think of him. I’m going for the best candidate for America and have my reasons (no more neocon warmongering).

Former Christian,
You failed God if you gave up on Christianity just because so many of them are hypocritical and narrow-minded. Ok, I haven’t been to church in 20 years, but you’d be surprised how much i have grown as a Christian during that time. I understand many things in the bible that I did not, I keep reading and seeking God, remember, “I have called you friend”. If you quit on Christ then you lost the greatest friend you could have for your entire life.

WOW….. as a Christian I am very dissappointed. The bible says that during the last days many false prophets will emerge… this pastor is clearly a false prophet. How shameful. Thank God my faith taught me to beware of them. Too bad those “self rightous” far right people are showing nothing but hatred. My vote will go to Obama/Biden.

I believe there is a God. I’ve just come to realize that God is something that humans cannot possibly grasp therefore it is really pointless to try. It’s okay to pray and ask for foregiveness in your own way but the idea that some how God came down as man called Jesus Christ is completely absurd. Once I figured that out I have been able to live a life free from fear and narrow mindedness. I still pray but God to me is something I don’t understand and that no human being understands.

Former Christian, pray and read The Book of Job, you’ll get a slight vision of what God is there, which at the end of that book is what floored Job, he saw it for a moment, realized what it was and then said he’d never seek out the root of his being justified for anything ever again. People don’t understand the book of Job, they think it is only about being loyal regardless of infliction in life, but it runs much much deeper than that. Read it, let the arguments and thoughts come alive, and by the time to hit the end, you’ll see the sublime, a hint of the multitude of the magnitude. We can know God, we just can’t understand it the way it understands itself. It’s like this, my dog knows me and loves me, but he can’t know me more than what he can understand as a dog. That’s the funny part of God endearingly calling his favorite human a “worm”, like we are worms compared to his consciousness, but as worms, we can know God.

For a preacher to ask his god for a win to prove he is a bigger god than the other gods just goes to show why there is religious hatred in this world. For a so-called man of god to preach such venom is not being of god. Listen morons god created everyone. Why should he/she/it differentiate between races, nationalitie, sexes, etc. I thing you evangelicals are afraid Obama won’t cater to your every demand as the current administration does. Watch your rhetoric or you may lose your tax-exempt status.

This sort of hatred is exactly why I changed my party affiliation from Republican to Independent in 2004. The very first president I voted for was Ronald Reagan. How things have changed! Or maybe it’s just me who has changed.

There’s an obvious reason why this clown Arnold Conrad is a former pastor, he’s not following or practicing the doctrine of Christianity which is outlined in the Bible or being Christ like towards others and their religious beliefs. At least the McCain camp had the decency to distance itself from such ridiculous assertions.

Badger,
The answer to all your questions can be found on factcheck.org. But something tells me you’re not really looking for answers. Who needs facts, when you’ve got rhetoric?

McSame campaign is discusting….especially Pastor Arnold Conrad

“Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad,” according to an ancient Greek proverb. The Republican Party is doomed if it continues on a path driven by fear, anger, and spite. It may also destroy our country in the process.

This election is getting REALLY UGLY! I am ashamed of being American. I AM STAYING HOME ON NOVEMBER 04. Neither party deserves my vote.

mcain is so out of touch with the average american… how many houses and how many cars? look at the people who show up at his rallies!!! a bunch of haters and ignorant individuals who probably have a double digit IQ. when i watched these “people” on tv it makes me wonder what planet they are from. they are all living in the 1950s. the era of the GOP in control of everything is over. enjoy the next couple of days because there is no way mccain can win all those battleground states. wake up and smell the change… and i dont just mean the change of mccains diaper.

Barbara,
Is the current tax system FAIR? Should Fuld not bear his FAIR SHARE of the tax burden?
Does his FAIR SHARE mean that jobs will not be created?

This is balooney! Barack Obama is a spirit filled born again christian so why does this pastor say such things. I belief Obama will win and it will be the will of God but if it doesn’t it will still be the will of the father. God is great and OBAMA will triumph. This man tries to twist the will of God he may get burned

As of today i’m not voting dem or repub.
I’ve always been a dem but I’m very disappointed in the democratic party choosing Obama as it’s nominee. Clearly he has little experience and a dubious past. I’m starting to think the democrats did this on purpose and news such as this is what they wanted all along.

So the “man of God” John MC CAIN and
Sarah PAIN chose to bless their little fear party thinks that God, I assume he means Jesus, is up there in the skies watching over America (gosh, I sure do hope JC is paying attention up there in the sky to all the people suffering thanks to 8 years of Bush & Company’s utter mismanagement at best but more likely contemptible and punishable criminal behavior) even though Jesus was born in the middle east. And that must mean that Buddha, Allah, and Hindu (he meant Krishna, the Hindu name for the creator of all and everything- America doesn’t own Jesus) have control over the other, and of course lesser nations of this world. And the very learned pastor thinks this is like a football game where one “god” wins- Jesus the god of America (oh wait is Alaska looked after by Jesus? apparently the Palin family doesn’t think so judging from big dude’s memebership in the secessionist party and little miss aw shucks’ audio message of congratulations to them last year). I guess the very spiritual pastor thinks war is kinda like a big football game too, even though millions of innocent lives be lost in war’s futility, even lives of innocent little children who I’m goshdarn sure Ms hockey mom would agree have the “sacred” right to life. Wow, pastor Conrad, you sound like such a loser, maybe Jesus loves you but I’ll bet he’d like to teach you a thing or two about his real meaning, you idiot! and by the way, God bless everyone, everywhere, no exceptions!

Hey Barbara…..U.S. Senator Obama Is a good person. How good of a person are you, when you don’t read, get the facts and make human intelligent choice for yourself. I question your motives….JUST SAY IT!!!!You people has said it before at the rallies. I am a good people that will never do or say things that are lies. Lying is a sin.

Lawrence, what on earth are you talking about when you rant that McCain and Palin need to ‘prove’ their accusations about Obama. The things they are saying are not in dispute. Obama at some point learned William Ayers was an unrepentant founder of the Weather Underground, who as Obama himself says, did reprehensible things in the sixties and was proud of them in this century, after he had moved on to become a left-wing education “reformer” who held up Chavez’s Venezuela as an example of a model for education. Obama originally said he barely knew the man, “a professor who lives in my neighborhood” and he and his campaign have been tweaking that characterization ever since, slowly admitting more and more about the contacts between Obama and Ayers. That is what McCain and Palin are pointing out– this is a bad person for Obama to associate with and Obama seems to have tried to cover up that association when it was no longer useful. (In Chicago circles, a connection to Ayers was a plus for a Democratic politician running on the local or state level. In national circles, that same connection is a negative, hence the desire to make it disappear from the record.) What do you think they are saying, Lawrence, that needs to be “proven”? Neither is claiming that Obama is a terrorist or supports terrorism. Neither is saying Obama is in way culpable for the actions of Ayers in his Weather Underground days. Both ARE saying that his choice of Ayers as a political ally early on (launching his local political career in the man’s living room, working with him on a board that allowed them to funnel grant money to particular schools and programs, winning friends and influencing people, as the saying goes) and his later efforts to downplay that relationship help reveal Obama’s judgment. What part of that is hard for you to understand?

Sara I have done alot of checking. I have looked at both McCain & Obama voting records. Their actual records. I have read everything I can on Obama history. Try obama/acorn- obama/ayers just try it you may be suprised. This is not from the Repu. It is the actual reports of what he has done. As far as this problem we are having right . This didn’t start till the last two years when the Dems took control. If you would check the actual Senate and House records you would see who is responsbile. Who try , who had fears as early as 2003. You and others really need to check things for yourself. I mean the actual records not just what someone says. Again, I will repeat this is the most important election of our time. This election will either make us or put us into a depression. If Obama is elected and raise the taxes like he says he will, we will have a depression. Alot of people that are voting don’t understand the want Washington works or the way the finances work. Please be careful.

I am saddened to say for the first time in my voting life I am not voting for president in this election. Neither candidate has instilled in me the confidence to vote for them, what a disappointment. I would rather not vote and have the conviction of my principles, than regret my vote for 4 years.
It is not a question of trying to vote for the winner but, who is best qualified. Neither has shown the leadership ability to lead this great country out of the mess it currently finds itself.
The days of voting for the candidate I like the least are over for me, like many others I have talked to.
Where have all the good leaders gone, what a sad day for America.

Americans, McCain/Palin is not good for America.McCain cant beat Obama about the Economy, so McCain is trying to come up with lies about Obama’s Character.I hope all you Fellow Americans can see, we dont need any more Republicans in Office!Its Time to Vote all Republicans out of Office.I sure hope the CIA took this Idiots out of McCains rally’s after they made Threats against Obama.

If Obama is elected and raise the taxes like he says he will, we will have a depression.
We are in a depression now. It didn’t start with Wall Street’s collapse nor did it start with the housing crisis. It started because the United States has become a country that manufactures practically nothing. That was okay for a while because the housing market fed the economy and we were becoming a country that primarily provided services not goods. Fine. Except companies decided that in order to compete American workers were too expensive and not skilled enough and they began shipping high paying services jobs along with manufacturing jobs overseas. Meanwhile, American workers were left to fend for themselves and work at WalMart, Kmart, etc…and compete with illegal immigrants flooding this country. All of this occurred under either a Republican administration or Republican led congress. I am sure Republicans will argue that Democrats were equally guilty but the simple facts remain that Republicans were in charge of either Congress or the presidency the last 20 years when most of this occurred.
One thing my father told me when I six in the Kennedy\Nixon campaign as to why he was voting for Kennedy. He said Republicans have never done anything for working people in this country. And they haven’t done anything since either.
This to me is the core of the problems wwe find ourselves in today. America must invest in itself. That includes new technology, infrastructure, and supporting companies through tax cuts who keep jobs in this country. Obama\Biden are the only ones in this campaign who would make that a priority.
As for taxes…revenues need to come from somewhere..Taxing everyone at the same rate makes absolutely no sense to me. And having a spending freeze as McCain proposes (I think…hard to tell with him) makes no sense at all either. That will simply lead to stagnation and not move this country forward. And stagnation in this world economy simply means more countries will pass us by.

McCain/Palin Scares me and should Scare all Democrats.Under the Republicans the past 8 years, we have lost more rights then probrobly any other time in America’s History. The Taser is meant to be used when a Officers life is treatened.And is also a alternative to using a gun.Tasers are being used as a torture devise from what I see.How many Americans have been killed by the Taser? alot!Spying on fellow Americans, we all hear about it on the News.Vote No on the ballot to all Republicans and Vote yes To all Democrats, Keep Are Freedom alive!Vote Obama.

I am beyond appalled at the McCain’s camp’s obvious hate rallies — spreading hatred for other religions as well as other races. This country has taken a step back at least 50 years or more! How does this man (as well as this woman) actually look at themselves in the mirror each morning? And they’re supposed to be loving “Christians” too! Would Jesus approve of their words of hatred — WWJD? They make me ashamed to be a U.S. citizen. I had thought that I could not be more disgusted with another human being than I am with W. I was wrong on that count.
Hope, not fear. GObama ’08!

It is not stirring up the hate by asking questions – the kind of questions that Obama has danced around all his life and gotten away with it. He eliminated his competition in the Illinois State and Senate race by some questionable practices, associate wit hsome despicable characters and now his ACORN group is using those tactics to commit voter fraud. Obama connected with the right people in Chicago and they have paved the way for him ever since. Once the money trail becomes known you media people will look like fools. No-Bama

Barbara writes: Alot of people that are voting don’t understand the want Washington works or the way the finances work.
Including you, Barbara. Perhaps it escaped you in your extensive studies that an unregulated capitalism without redistribution of wealth is bad for the middle class and working people. If you don’t redistribute wealth, you end up with one percent of the population living in palaces while the rest live in cardboard shacks. Left to it’s own devices, a capitalism tends to concentrate capital in the hands of those who already have it (i.e. big investors and big corporations). No middle class, just super-rich and dirt poor. Which one will you be?
Obama will restore the proper taxation of the wealthy in order to reverse a disasterous concentration of capital in the hands of the few at the top. Furthermore, the lack of revenue from refusing to tax the very people who control the money has resulted in crumbling infrastructure which hurts the poor and middle class most–Bill Gates doesn’t sit in rush hour traffic every afternoon…but you do.
Don’t read right-wing propaganda about Obama’s character, then claim that you understand capitalism, politics, or economics. I’ll pit my Political Science degree against your amateur fact-finding any day. Bring it on.

The 9/11 terrorists could have saved themselves the trouble had they known that Bush single-handedly would destroy this country from within by the end of his 2nd term. As for McCain/PALIN ~ they do more damage to Christianity than any terrorists ever could. You can talk the talk Sarah but, you can’t walk the walk. Please do not call yourself a Christian anymore, you offend those of us who really are.

Thank GOD republican leadership was in the WhiteHouse the last 8 years, they staved off real disaster, If there were democrats in there this country would be a financial mess, the good Lord has been behind Bush and has avoided a bigger catastrophe by keeping the Republicans in Power.

Trickle-down economics does not work. Obama’s team has the right approach.
You unleash more economic growth when you cut taxes to the middle or lower income people than the rich.
The core fallacy of trickle-down is that the rich will use their extra (tax cut) money to create jobs. WRONG! They hoard it, or worse, move it offshore to avoid paying tax on future capital gains.
Look at what Exxon did with a big chunk of their windfall profits – bought back company shares so they could keep more profits in the future.
So statements like “poor people don’t own companies” and therefore, “can’t create jobs”, ignore the fact that if you give a lower income person a tax break, they will go out and SPEND it, which does help create jobs. If you give a rich person a tax break, they might just move their refund to a bank in the Bahamas.

These type of far right extremists is what has given the GOP a bad rep among moderates and independents.
Until McCain looses and the GOP purges these zealouts out of the party, they will alway try to position the US to have a version of Christian ayatollahs running things.
We are not a theocracy and should not strive to become one.

pumphouseplus :
No – If Obama is elected it will be because you didn’t pray hard enough and GOD is punishing you.

From the article:
“Last night, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., tried to correct some of his more, er, angry and scared supporters, ones who seem to buy into the ludicrous myth that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., is some sort of Manchurian candidate.”
Actually, in The Manchurian Candidate the protagonist is a former POW…

“Thank GOD republican leadership was in the WhiteHouse the last 8 years, they staved off real disaster, If there were democrats in there this country would be a financial mess, the good Lord has been behind Bush and has avoided a bigger catastrophe by keeping the Republicans in Power. ”
-esther_l
yeah, because, you know, god is there for the republicans. I am sure he really gives a crap about American politics. Give me a break. And the lord being behind bush? No. Using bush and the lord in the same sentence cannot even be a sentence. If anything, god would hate bush, but out of the hundreds of countries out there in the world, why would you honestly think god would be paying attention to OUR political process, if any?

To “the end of the end”:
Remember that the president is captain (if he has the brains to avoid being a puppet of an evil mastermind e.g. Darth Cheney) of a team that governs, he doesn’t perform his duties in isolation. Obama seems to have assembled a pretty good campaign team (out-hustling and out-thinking the Republican campaign team on many fronts) and I am confident he will continue to show his intelligence and good judgement when he picks his governing team.
McCain’s criticisms that Obama displays naivete have all been trumped-up phoney examples in my opinion.
The Pakistan thing – McCain agrees with Barack’s position he is just trying to embarrass Obama for points. You can see how it screws up Palin to try to remember the illogic of McCain’s silly posturing on this topic when she was interviewed by Gibson.
The Iran thing – similarly, McCain has taken a goofy position, keying on the word “pre-condition” as if that meant Obama would just walk into Iran without body guards to talk to their leaders. Kissinger’s comments regarding talks with Iran backed Obama’s approach, until McCain reminded him about his (McCain’s) illogical stance on this point also.
Getting hard to keep all the goofy false-positions straight McCain?
How about just admitting that you were tired and had done too many interviews in one day when you made the gaffe about not inviting the leader of Spain to the white house? Drop the spin-everything attitude for a second and admit you made a mistake – give Tucker the day off for once – I bet you’ll find people will like you better for it.

“We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election,” Ahmed Yousef, senior Hamas leader was quoted by ABC radio as saying.—
Naaah no hate on our dear Mr. Obama’s side of the fence.. Honestly (limp wristed athtoundment) you conservatives are thooooo mean thpirited.

Fear-mongering appears to be all that McCain offers as demonstrated by some of his supporters in this very forum.

An amazing number of distractions.
One of the bloggers above stated she thought that if Democrats had been running the country the last 8 years things would have been WORSE, and “thank God for Bush.” That should be McCain’s platform.
But instead of issues and leadership we get terrorist inferences, our favorite pit bull who has no shame or sense of decent behavior, and preachers who think their candidate is more godly and want to control us by invoking god’s name where they shouldn’t. And lastly a person showing up a rally with a monkey.
Let’s run on the last 8 years.
The past is prolog.
If looking at McCain / Palin rallies is a glimpse at the future, we are heading to a theocratic facist state. McCain’s biggest risk is taking the whole Republican party down with him. Remember when republicans said they want to court latinos and blacks. How’s that coming along the last few months?

yahhh Carolina, this very forum in this here country where these here kids of mine live and their great great great grandparents are burried. Some after FIGHTING WARS instead of waiting around for a handout.
You want to live under a dictatorship or socialism? theres DOZENS of countries that will do you just ducky!

“Why does the christian right insist that anybody who does not share their beliefs is evil, it sounds just like the muslum extreme view. Our country was founded on freedom of religion, you believe in your God and I will believe in mine. It says “one country under God”, not one country under Jesus. There isn’t a right or wrong religion, just religion. ”

Theyre practicing Sharia law in England. What are you waiting for?
FAR superior ideology than America, I’m sure. That’s why they kicked us out of the colonies, ya know.

I’m off to church were I will definitely pray for our country and the enlightenment of its people. Peace.

Anyway SO WHHAT! We’ve got Cliff Clayburn! HA! Beat THAT.

Carolina, gimme a break. “language of hate”.. “peace”…
I’m a programmer. I’ve heard ALL the liberal synergy, paradigm shift, connectivity solution BS to last another dozen lifetimes.
It’s all what made the dotcom bust purged if it’s dillusions and noww the middleman liberal is headed for the HUSSAME fate.

This is not how to represent God. A minister of God is supposed to pray for both parties involved.As a minister of God Pastor Conrad you are a disgrace to your calling. I pray that God in His mercies will forgive you.

Another right wing nut job spewing indifference!

“This is a complete outrage, and McCain obviously condones this ignorant and hateful message because they allowed this pastor to come out and say a prayer such as this to a crowd of thousands.”

Really? But then Obama allowing Wright to say “goddamn America” doesnt phase you?
Oh right.. he wasnt aware.
And he was only 8 years old when his buddy Ayers actually DID the deed of blowing people up… so theres a pass.
And he “presumed” his FRIEND was rehabilitated.
That Ayers blocked the exits of a family home before attempting to firebomb them? With KIDS inside?
How do you liberals sleep at night after a hard day of cherry-picking morality?

I am soooo sick of God being portrayed as Republican! There are PLENTY of God-fearing Independents and Democrats who vote that way because they believe we should feed the hungry, help the homeless and be good stewards of this world just like the Bible says! These people are crazy and they make Christians look like crazy people!
We’re also supposed to love our neighbors of ALL faiths, so stop making it be us and against them! America is supposed to be a country with freedom of religion according to the Constitution of the United States!

McCAIN/PALIN-POWER-ABUSER ARE DONE! McCAIN WILL RETIRE AT 73 AND PALIN WILL GET BACK TO ALASKA TO FACE IMPEACHMENT FOR HER CRIMES.BUT THE POOR ANIMALS IN THE WILD LIFE WILL BE SUFFERING AGAIN. AMERICA SHOULD NOT ALLOW THE PALINS TO SECEDE ALASKA FROM THE US LIKE THEY´VE BEEN DOING !THAT IS AN ACT OF TREASON BY THE PALINS !

I feel sorry for the people who look to this old man for guidance and or answers. They will be led down a road of pain and destruction. It’s amazing that he thinks he can pray to the “One True God” against another one of his children. God is not a game, and I have no doubt this “fake” will dealt by appropriately by our God.

Oh yeah, remember the show Cheers and the character Cliff Clayburn, the self-proclaimed expert on everything?
Cliff’s posturing and convoluted explanations were laughable (SSPA), as is Republican communion ridiculous.

I hope Obama wins and forces this church to pay all the back taxes they owe from the time they started telling their lies about how “GOD” wants McCain to win. BTW Religulus was an awesome film. Bill Mahr is the man.

i really wonder who are those people vote jone maccane and scarr obama why? if mccaen became pri…. country will down becouse jone maccaen love war so we all becoame distroy but obama said i will stop war and we going to have change in the country so how do u scarry obama they most be stupped people.

To Zak:
I believe Mr. Obama denounced the terrorist activities of Mr. Ayers from the 1960′s as “despicable acts”.
Your guilt-by-association 6-degrees-of-Kevin-Bacon arguments are wearing thin.
Your statements about Mr. Ayers blocking exits to family homes where he planted bombs – true or not – implies that perhaps Mr. Obama was there helping him. In fact Mr. Obama was 8 years old living in another part of the world when this occurred. Similarly one of the advertisements of McCain alleges “Obama’s friend firebombed my friend’s house” implying that Mr. Ayers and Mr. Obama planned that act together.
Given that Mr. Ayers was on the Annenberg foundation committe, is it fair to say that one of Ronald Reagan’s rich-insider friends had an agenda to empower domestic terrorists? Given the ages of Mr. Annenberg and Mr. Reagan, you can be sure THEY knew Mr. Ayers history when he was appointed. By your logic we should see headlines “REAGAN PAL KNOWINGLY FUNDS DOMESTIC TERRORIST! REAGAN REWARDS PAL WITH BRITISH AMBASSADORSHIP!”.

WE ALL TRY TO CONDEMN ISLAMIC RADICALS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD AND McCAIN AND HIS PASTOR ARE BUSY RECRUITING CHRISTIAN RADICALS IN AMERICA??? ARE THOSE THE JOBS PEOPLE ARE ASKING FOR?? ALL WE HEAR FROM McCAIN CROWD “KILL HIM” “BOMB HIM” “TERRORIST” AND NOW HE CANNOT CONDEM HIS SPIRITUAL LEADER REFERING OBAMA AS “INSULT TO GOD” WHERE DOES THIS PASTOR DIFFER FROM OTHER RADICALS OF McCAIN´S RALLIES?? IS THIS THE LEADERSHIP OF DIVISION McCAIN WANTS TO OFFER?? THE POLLS SIMPLY SHOWS PEOPLE HAVE FINALLY REALISED McCAIN HAS NO ANSWER TO THE PROBLEMS WE FACE. HE SAID HE IS DUMMY IN ECONOMY, THE DEBATES HAVE SHOWN HE ALSO DOESN´T GET IT ON FOREIGN POLICY AND AT 73 HE PICKED AN UNQUALIFIED PALIN FOUND COMMITING CRIMES IN ALASKA! IT ALL NARROWS DOWN THAT McCAIN IS NOT ONLY FIT BUT ALSO NOT READY TO LEAD!!

McCAIN AND HIS CAMPAIGN SHOULD SIT DOWN , PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS AND READ THEIR BIBLE . BUT I HOPE THEY DON´T MISUNDERSTAND THE BIBLE LIKE THEY MISUNDERSTAND THE ECONOMY !

His name was Edward L. Bernays. He was Sigmund Freud’s Nephew. He was born in Vienna on November 22, 1891 and died in his home at Cambridge, Massachusetts on March 9, 1995 at the age of 103.
Before the early twentieth century, marketers thought of people as being rational beings. They figured all they had to do was reason with the public logically if they wanted to sell their product. Freud’s theories pointed out that everyone also possessed an unconscious mind filled with instincts and hidden emotions as sex, security, aggression, and survival. This unconscious mind greatly influences how people as a whole behave.

IF THIS PREACHER WAS A TRUE MAN OF GOD HE WOULD KNOW THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL. IF OBAMA WERE TO WIN IT WILL BE BY THE WILL OF GOD. GOD KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING AND DOES EVERYTHING FOR THE BEST. BUT THESE SO CALLED CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN ARE WOLVES IN SHEEP CLOTHING,AND TEND TO HIDE BEHIND RELIGION

The McCain/Palin tactics to paint Obama as a terrorist feeding the ignorant minds of racists and bigots makes me ashamed that this is going on in my country.
I have felt this constant shame for 8 years and am damn tired of it. They are proving exactly why we need change.

Sounds like he is planning an all out assualt on Obama with all of our most vile and low traits. It seams as if he is calling on our lowest characters in society to side with him. Religious zealots and racist mobs. Thoroughly unimpressed with Mc Cain not only as a man but as a former soldier myself I am find myself totally unconnected with his message that calls for the hateful,fearful, evils of our societies to against what now seems like the good citizens of America on the Obama side. Ironic from my view point since I am white and also a soldier that Obama represents the good side.

Sorry to use this term but the McCain/Palin ticket is trying to “bs” their way into the Whitehouse.. McCain has a long record of voting against Veteran & Military funding.. There are many articles @ Veteran Organizations pointing too McCain’s dismal record on funding our Veterans & Military. Hence the reason some Veteran Organizations & troops are voting for Obama.. Cindy McCain knows this but she would never state it..

I don’t think Palin is capable of connecting dots, as she puts it, even if arrows were used to point her to the next dot. And this is not an attack on her gender, it is an attack on her ignorance….the woman is just plain daft.

Church and State must be separated. Those who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it…we don’t want people burning at the stake nor any Salem-type witch trials again.
Separation of Church and State is noted in the First Amendment:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”
The government takes the stance of neutrality w/respect to religion—neither for nor against.
Additionally, the “Lemon test”, which details the requirements for legislation concerning religion. It consists of three prongs:
(1). The government’s action must have a secular legislative purpose.
(2). The government’s action must not have the primary effect of either advancing or inhibiting religion.
(3). The government’s action must not result in an “excessive government entanglement” with religion.
Now, let’s take this step one further for those people who think the U.S. is based on Christian principals. The “Treaty of Tripoli” in 1797 states the following:
“As the government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquillity of Musselmen…” Use Wikipedia for more info.
The treaty was started under George Washington’s presidency and ratified by Congress under John Adams, and signed into law by Adams. The treaty was passed with a unanimous vote and not a single protest has ever been recorded even though it was noted in three major newspaper of its day. Our founding fathers knew that religion absolutely corrupts governments, as observed in Europe at that time, and wanted Church and government separated.
The U.S. is the first country to separate Church and State. We the people must be vigilant in protecting the vision of our founding fathers.

DemocRATS are being mesmerized by the Pied Piper of Illinois.
Obama lied about the depth of his relationship with Ayers. He effectively launched his political career in Ayers house. Obviously he wasn’t 8 years old anymore, was he?
As for Rev. Wright, he attended his church for 20 years. It is impossible that he hasn’t been listening to this Pastor’s anti-American rhetoric.
OBAMA IS A LYING so he could hypnotize all of you into voting for him.
It is as simple as that.
Wake up all of you before you drown in the river of death that Obama is leading you all.

Short answer: YES, they are insane.

Oh, just to clarify my short answer: I meant to say, YES, the blinded far-right evangelical brainwashed GOP are insane.

Has everyone noticed that these republicans LOVE TO ACCUSE and point fingers, but they never back it up with fact??????????????????????
This is why McCain, the war hero (giggle), will not “say it to his face.”
“Obama started his political career in Ayer’s livingroom,” is a bold faced lie. Obama was campaigning long before he was invited to a coffee function by Ayer’s wife.
The only thing Ayers and Obama had in common, is school reform.

On Conrad, the so-called pastor:
When you are filled with arrogance, and ignorance of those who do not look like you, nor do they think like you, … it is easy to espouse rhetoric that is of an abomination, and is filled with blasphemy.
I wonder if a jewish Rabbai said something like that, how would people respond. I wonder if a catholic priest said that all who are not catholic, are the devil’s demons, how would that be received.
This pastor has spewed out garbage that was spewed out, when they were burning people at the stakes for witchcraft.

TexaslibbyI see you’re impressed by polls. Doesn’t take much to convince you does it. Not a deep thinker are you. Maybe you will be impressed to know that Hamas, Hugo Chavez, the Castro brothers, and Kaddafi also endorse your candidate.Posted by:dropdeadgeorgeous 5:44 PMMark As Violation—————————————Well good. I would love to see trade and travel opened again with Cuba. Maybe its time to quit punishing countries just because they dont live the way we want them to live. Not talking and cutting off coutries that decide to live by their beliefs and cultures is closing the door on the world and has gotten us no where. I know you republicans want to force the world to live by your beliefs and standards but guess what, they wont and I dont blame them. Thats their choice , just like we have ours. We are seen as a bully nation and police nation that thinks everyone should bow to us. Thats not the way real life is nor should we have the right to enforce our beliefs on others. Maybe thats why the world doesnt respect us now. Live and let live. Al Qaeda and the Republicans both want to enforce through fear tactics. They both want everyone to carry a Holy book in one hand and a assault rifle in the other and both think everyone should live by their standards. There is nothing wrong with friends and foes alike endorcing a canidate. World piece is something we strive for , not world US domination.

Having read through all the comments on this article, the only conclusion I have come to is that America is culturally flawed.
Excessive individuality, excessive violence, a widespread inability to meaningfully consider all sides of an issue, and a deep swath of prejudiced christian theocracy seems to have resulted in a social fabric that is deeply intolerant and divided.
I fear for the future here. Not financially, or politically, but socially. America just might not make sense anymore as a country.

McCain and Palin seem to attract more nut jobs than the Obama/Biden ticket.

I MEAN TO SAY AGAIN: THE LIVING GOD!!

So the DemocRATS know that Pied Piper Obama lied about his relationship with Ayers. And yet they still give him a pass? Why? Are you out of your minds? Obama is an opportunist who has no experience and no qualification but has lots of inclinations towards terrorism and anti-American sentiment. Has he lied also about his Muslim origin? This man is a danger to the security of America.

I want to thank Palin. Because of her and McCains awful pick Obama will have an easier time winning the election. Palin now says the report clears her of any wrong doing and yet as we all know the report did no such thing. Palin is living is a fantasy world and part of that world tells her she is capable of being VP or even President. The only thing she does well besides lying is keeping that crook Karl Rove busy. Executive Privilege This McCain/Palin/Rove.

Palin was picked for gathering votes, nothing more. For God’s sake, John McCAin met her only ONCE!
Palin has evolved from an embarassment to he party and state, to an instigator and distractor for her weak ticket.
If you are a Republican and you support this Idiot, maybe you should try to re-elect George W. Bush. Oh but the constitution only lets idiots serve two terms. Sorry.

McCain has done real damage to the Republican brand. What sane person is going to attend his rallies where lunatics rant nonsense. McCain actuallly looks scared of his own base. You could tell he was thinking “what a bunch of nut jobs I have on my side.”

This pastor is nuts and completely out of touch with evangelical thinking. The Evangelical Free Church is la good denomination (Chuck Swindoll the author is of this background), but this pastor is absolutely nuts. He should be censored by his denomination. I am an evangelical Christian who will be voting for Barack Obama … in deed, my faith compels me to vote Democratic this year. Americans can vote as they please … it’s a civic, not religious duty. Like I say, this guy is nuts and does a disservice to Christian Church to allow himself to get mixed up in taking sides politically.

Tucker Bounds is the mastermind behind the continuation of these hateful lies and inuendo against Obama. I hope you never find youself on the unemployment line.

You can call me weak if you want and I don’t care, but I am hurt that a person who calls himself a Christian Pastor called by GOD would say the things in this article. Because Obama is a christian, he should remember that true and living GOD will protect his own. He will also vendicate his own. The liars, the fake people who manipulated church members and other Americans by steering them wrong with lies will be exposed. The bible says you will reap what you sow and what you do in darkness will come to light. Their are Christians of all colors and cultures. Christians from all races, cultures and all colors are all over the world. GOD is not looking your skin color sir. He is looking at YOUR HEART !!!!

If there is one single Republican politician in DC, other than Chuck Hagel, with the political courage to start a campaign to purge the GOP of the neo-conservative wing-nuts who wrongly believe they now own America… then please step up. It might take 8 years but we need a new Republican Party in the future. Leave the wing-nuts behind… and start anew. We need leaders who are socially flexible and fiscally conservative, be they Democrats or new Republicans. The extremists on the right-wing are fueled by hate and a sense of entitlement. This year we need to send a message and vote 100% Democratic.

It is great to see John McCain throwing some water on the fires that he and Sarah Palin have ignited. The problem is that those people are truly afraid and dangerous. They are capable of harming someone of color just because they are of color. They have already begun to attack journalist and other media personnel. That hate has been created by McCain/Palin. It is horrible and John McCain, win or lose the campaign, will go into history a dishonorable man and Palin the worst woman (or man) to ever campaign.

I think Barrack was being way too generous to McCain. If I were Barrack I’d just tell McCain to ‘straighten up and fly right.’ No man of honor ( I refer to John McCain) would make speeches deliberately aimed to incite a lynch mob mentality in people via wild hyped-up accusations that rile paranoids nutcases into pre-violent states of mind. This lowers McCain’s campaign into the realm of some very dangerous and unchartered territory. It is also a disgusting and unforgivable act. Governor Palin however, seems to thrive on this sort of rabble rousing paranoid inducing performance to the crowds. Which only tends to reinforce her image in the minds of millions of Americans as being an angry, trailor trash redneck. However, I was more dismayed by her refusal to answer Gwen Ifill’s questions during the VP debate. Ms. Palin preferred instead to recite to us the lines she’d been rehearsing all week from the RNC headquarters. That’s not only amateurish, it’s pathetic.

Oh my god!
Are we playing “my god is bigger than your god?”
This would be funny if it weren’t so sad.
This preacher is a child. McCain would be smart to drop him.
Dont worry, God wont punish you John. God’s a little wiser than a parochial pastor.

Well now i have heard all i want to hear, i hadnt made my mind up until now. I WILL NOT ALLOW myself to vote for a RACIST GOVERNEMENT>…. i will vote for FREEDOM>…

For truth seekers: Look up “Echo Chamber” and see where it leads you. It’s very disturbing. It makes you wonder if there’s any point in searching for truth.
If McCain loses I hope he will recover his integrity and issue a very sincere apology for the way his campaign was conducted.

In an ideal world, complete cooperation between different countries creates roads paved with gold, leading to a global utopia. But, historically, and in the real world, human nature and nationalism seem to return individual country’s to a goal of self interest and national security. Rogue leaders and unexpected events, such as Putin and Georgia … Iran, atomic bombs, terrorists and Israel … Chavez’s ambitions … Al Quada … Chinese expansion … etc., always seem to upset the international apple cart of idealists. In addition, we should not take for granted our 200+ year experiment of freedom and capitalism, and be so willing to gamble it away for a socialistic notion which stifles the individual innovation and initiative which made this country great … and a standard of living which makes everyone around the world want to live here! And, since many have decided to also make this a partisan political discourse, by assuring us that Obama, the messiah, has all the answers, allow me to respond to that as well. Obama has no experience, or credentials. When given the chance in the senate, Obama did nothing except to show up and vote present 160 times. Despite his flowery speeches, his track record reveals a focus on personal ambition, associations with anti-American racists and terrorists, massive flip flopping, questionable loyalty to political positions and long time friends, a desire for socialism, and forced redistribution of America’s wealth. He casually promises everyone a chicken in every pot, even if it is the chicken that lays America’s golden eggs. Economics 101 … Every farmer knows that even if you get real hungry, you never eat the seed crop. One of the reasons McCain keeps going back to the issue of character is because although Obama makes great speeches, if his character and integrity are questionable, it doesn’t matter how good his plans sound. Policies and promises from an ambitious politician who can’t be trusted, are equivalent to building a utopian sky scrapper on a rotten foundation.
P.S. Today Obama talked about more jobs, something McCain has been insisting on since day one … except Obama wants to raise taxes to the very people who provide jobs, while McCain wants to cut taxes to businesses as a way to promote jobs
