Obama: ‘Don’t Underestimate Our Ability to Screw it Up’

thats right barack, take nothing for granted. keep pressing through the end. republicans wont give up and neither should you!!!!!

Boy Obama is so right. I just read about the vitriol that the Republicans are sending out in mass mailings and the vile robo calls that are hitting every battleground state.
I don’t understand why the Republicans always seem to be fighting against Americans. Doing whatever they can to divide us.
I will knock on as many doors as I can between now and Nov. 4th, to make sure people don’t start believing the lies that they are spreading fast and furiously.
It’s sad, because when McCain loses, he has given away all of his honor and the reputation he once had. I think he will just be a shell of a man when this is over.

no folks, we dont need any more mccain bashing. its all about focusing on the vote. spread the word, the polls mean nothing without the vote!!!

thats right mike, its down to the wire and i have been told to repeat the message, the polls mean nothing without the vote!!!

I’ve been waiting for Obama to say this exact thing. Don’t take anything for granted Dems. Obama needs every single vote. That’s how we stop the Republicans from stealing the election. (remember 2000) We overwhelm them at the polls, making it impossible.
Obama/Biden ’08

Mccain/Palin
Liddy is irrelevant as apopposed to ACORN who is under real investigation for voter registration fruad… Tom Brockaw has given money to the cause etc a lot of people like me lied in survey and today started votign in droves for Mccain and there isnt anything you can do about it

At least in 2000 we were in court after the election. Today, the US Supreme Court is being asked to settle a dispute in Ohio regarding 200,000 1st time voter registrations.
I found out the RNC have been harrassing Jennifer Brunner, the Democratic Ohio Sec. of State for quite some time.
According to the Washington Post, Brunner and the GOP have gone to court 8 times on various issues, “including how to handle absentee ballot requests and absentee voting” during the present presidential election cycle.
A Republican presided over the election process in Ohio during the 2004 Presidential election.
Has the voting system under Republican control in Ohio changed so drastically under Brunner’s leadership to warrant 8 trips in court and now the intervention of the US Supreme Court? I don’t think so!
“In 2004, a margin of about 118,000 votes won the state for President Bush and left a trail of bitterness over decisions made by Kenneth Blackwell, the Republican secretary of state at the time. During that race, Republicans dropped a plan to challenge more than 30,000 voters just days before the election.”
The RNC plotted, planned are are making a strong-armed attempt to disenfranchise
Democratic voters in Ohio on November 4, 2008.
All of the rhetoric about ACORN is a diversionary tactic used to divert attention from the RNC’s plan to tip the scales in their favor.
It’s beyond dirty politics…It’s UnAmerican.

Clarity
nope its not dirty poltics and its not voter fraud its voter registration fraud and its real because ACORN is a poor persons welfare givign questionable people jobs to do one of the most imporant things.. register voters… I know this whole thing started with people like you plottign to take down Joe Lieberman in 2006 and that backfired … so will this!

McCain and the Republican Party make me ill.
They are over the top with the smear. I did not think it would get so bad, but it is the sign of the times that there is nothing one can do that will offend the far right.
It is my hope that this backfires so bad that we never see this kind of thing again.
There is nothing Christian in this.

screw what up?
obama isnt gonna win

I am ready for Obama to be president… change we need.

Yes, the Democrats will screw it up again, they are just days away from a Wellstone Memorial moment that blew it for them in 2002 with congressional elections.
The reason they screw it up? It’s hard for them to pretend to be decent for this long.

WHAT IS IT WITH REPUBLICANS AND PLUMBERS ??
WATERGATE PLUMBERS ??
JOHN MCCAIN AND HIS FAKE OHIO “JOE” THE PLUMBER ??
DO THEY NOT LIKE REAL PLUMBERS ??

Joe the plumber has showed what a fraud Obama is.
He did what the media failed to fo.
Obama ‘lets spread the wealth’ guy is going to lose the election.

kerry,
I didn’t know that somebody has to be a christian to be a POTUS.
Is it in the constitution?

Carla Marinucci reports in today’s San Francisco Chronicle “In last night’s debate, Sen. John McCain suggested that ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) was responsible for massive voter fraud that could destroy ”the fabric of democracy.”
Now the leaders of the community organizing group have emerged with an aggressive effort to push back.
“In a conference call …
ACORN organizers this morning [told reporters] that Sen. Barack Obama, as a local elected official in Chicago, participated in two training sessions for 50 volunteer leaders.
Oopsies! Does this mean ACORN is calling Obama a liar? Sure sounds like it!
In addition, he and his law firm represented a group of plantiffs, including ACORN, regarding motor votor registration issues. They said his campaign has also provided about $80,000 in funding to an independent consulting group, which in turn provided some funding to ACORN to get out the vote.

Its Obama that allowed John Mccain to get away with the Joe the plumber issue. Obama tax policy is better but he is not explaining it. Trickle down economics do not work. Even if Joe the plumber was earning 300000 dollars, he will fare better under an Obama administration. With more people getting more under the Obama tax policy, there will be more money chasing goods and services, more money to pay for groceries, more money to buy a cup of coffee, more money to buy a plate of food, more money to pay for gas, more money to put in the banks, more money to pay for your bills and more money to be earned for the Government based on all these services. Thats why the Clinton administration was successful. Mccain surely do not understand Economics but Obama who understands little needs to get someone to break this down to everyone. If he just continues by saying the trickle down economics does not work, people just dont understand that language and thats why he needs to break it down. He should be thrashing Mccain on taxes but to allow Mccain to even be competing shows he is not debating that issue very well.

And when you have more people chasing goods and services, more jobs are created. Mccains tax policy is the same as George Bush but why are the jobs not being created? We have lost more jobs than gained. It will be foolish to continue the same tax policy. Moreover, Mccains tax policy is silly. you borrow from China so that big corporations can have a tax break. To me that doesnt make any sense.

OBAMA – Turn over your birth certificate!
What are you hiding from the American people?

Vuzous,
The reason John McCain is competing is because there are people that won’t vote for Barack Obama no matter what. There are people who after all this time STILL think as the woman at McCain’s rally stated, “He’s an Arab”. There are people who will never vote for a blak man. There are people who think that an 8 yr. old Obama, is some how responsible for William Ayers. This is why McCain is still “competing”, if you want to call it that. After Ronald Reagan, George Bush I, and George Bush II, anybody that doesn’t “understand” that trickle down economics doesn’t work, is brain dead. “Explaining” it isn’t going to change anybody’s mind. Obama has explained his plan very well, and there are still people who think McCain has a better one. Even though the experts agree people will pay LESS taxes under Obama’s plan, than McCain’s. George Bush I called it “voodoo economics” when he ran against Reagan. Only to change his tune once he was tapped to be VP.

Susan,
Wait…let me get this right…factcheck.org is run by the Obama campaign? I’m sure they would be very suprised to hear that, since they consider themselves a non-partisan fact checking site. I think you have factcheck.org confused with Obama’s stopthesmears site. Perhaps you should fact check that.

Biz,
It is indeed “shipping jobs overseas”, and I’m sure a lot of out of work Americans would agree with me. I used to work for Xerox Corp. Here in Rochester NY. I made a very good living, as did my co-workers. They shut down several manufacturing lines here, layed off thousands of workers, including myself, and shipped the jobs to China, and Mexico. Now Mexico isn’t “overseas”, but the effect was the same.

Why does Obama worry about being elected?
He’s got his ACORN group, and it’s spin off groups hiring felons to get out the vote. Imagine grandma facing a man at her door who’s prison nick name is “The Ice Pick”. 200K phoney registrations in Ohio, the state of Wisconsin refusing to obey federal law to weed through the phoney registrations. In fact, if I remember right, at least 13 states have proof of phoney registrations. I loved the one of the 89 year old woman with Alzheimers being registered 4 times or the seven year old girl being registered 17 times. With hwelp like that even a no experience friend of terrorist can get elected.

Jack,
Maybe you didn’t see my post just a few down from yours.
John McCain did was the keynote speaker at an ACORN conference in 2006.
McCain campaign won’t get involved with this story because his hands are all over it too.

Why is it McCain brings up Ayers every chance he gets? But when questioned about Liddy or Keating it’s a different. His answer on Liddy ‘he served his time”, Keating ‘cleared’ – was he.
Very touchy – he can say what he wants, but don’t say anthing to him. He talks about dirty ads – he has run plenty of them. What about his “glorious” running mate, did nothing to stop hecklers.
What are the issues? McCain doesn’t seem to know, nor does Palin.
Are any of you listening to what’s going on?

Watch almost any political talk show and you will hear a Democratic strategist or campaign person enthusiastically state that the deregulation of the banking industry meant that no one was watching Wall Street for you. Barack Obama has even used the refrain ”deregulation by the Republicans” to point a finger about the mortgage crisis.
From Ken Moyes Blog.
Well deregulation did occur and it did change things in the banking industry. First some background. Until 1999, banks were restricted to certain businesses, Bill Clinton and a Republican Congress jointly deregulated the banking business. An example is that they could not enter into the insurance or brokerage business. Other factors were at play, such as interstate banking and states’ deregulation of banking. Non-bank insurance companies and brokerage houses were actively offering money market checking accounts. The sum of these changes placed banks at a disadvantage, since other non-regulated companies were divvying up the limited areas where bankers could operate. For a more detailed read try The Case for Banking Deregulation or The Real Effects of U.S. Banking Deregulation.
Thus deregulation. Did this mean that banks would no longer be regulated? No. Did this mean that bank regulators would go away? No. It simply meant that banks could enter brokerage, insurance, and other businesses to a modest degree, with restrictions. This deregulation had nothing to do with the mortgage businesses of any bank or non-bank financial lending company.
Either the Democrats know this and choose to mislead you – not good, or do not know this and do not know what they are talking about – worse. The real problem, about which no one talks, was the intensity to which Democrats and with a modicum of Republican support fell in love with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This seemed like the perfect vehicle for helping people of low income obtain a home. This was the populists’ greatest tool. Not only did Fannie and Freddie have an appetite for mortgage paper with lower credit requirements, they also had an appetite for lower equity requirements and to buy securitized mortgage assets. Thus the subprime mortgage lending business was born. The Achilles Heel of the subprime business was value of collateral. As long as the collateral remained valued at or higher than the loan, it could be liquidated easily with minimum loss.
As the subprime lending business began to not only heat up, but to overheat, the demand for homes began to become intense, raising the sale prices and values precipitously. Now the good part. Lenders using collateral guidelines began to anticipate the future value of homes and created zero down lending with borrowed down payments, via a line of credit – ingenious, except that if the value of real estate faltered with a faltering economy, the house of cards would come tumbling down. It happened. This problem became so accute that the Bush administration five years ago asked Congress to reign in their twin prodigies, Fannie and Freddie, with regulation – the Democrats in the House and Senate blocked the effort. Now let’s look at a primary cause of today’s financial meltdown. Bad mortgage paper, due to undercollateralized loans, bought by investment houses and resold to investors as securitized mortgage assets represents nearly 2+% of our GDP. The government had no choice but to step in or our economy, our dollar, and our standard of living would follow the bad mortgages down the proverbial tubes.
How did this happen? Look to the Democrats more than to Republicans. Democrats were in love and some were in bed with Fannie and Freddie. Barack Obama cannot explain away the league leading MVP type of the size of contributions his campaigns received – now and in the past, from both of the these institutions and their leadership. Chris Dodd has much explaining to do about his personal sweetheart mortgage, especially considering his position on the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
Please note that when the Democrats get their hand caught in that political cookie jar, their standard procedure for being Teflon, is to loudly blame a target scape goat. They did this when their environmental positions about drilling for oil placed this country into an energy vise. Then they blamed big oil. They are now screaming about deregulation causing the mortgage meltdown. !999 banking deregulation had nothing to do with the mortgage crisis. Yet, the new target scape goat is Republican deregulation of the banking industry. Remember, the banking industry was deregulated in a bipartisan way between the Republicans and Bill Clinton. That deregulation had nothing to do with the type of mortgages being made.
Some, so eager to point to banking deregulation as the cause of the mortgage crisis, fail to understand that the The Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000, was the act that mostly affected these swaps. This bill was signed into law in 2000 by President Bill Clinton. Read more on this at The Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000.
The International Herald Tribune has a good article on credit swaps. It can be found at Obscure, large and arcane, credit default swaps face a big test.

“Joe the Plumber” stood up for America and now he is being pulled apart by the “media”. Joe has a tax lien and he is not licensed to be a plumber, he just works as a plumber for another person and does the dirty work for less pay. In just a few days the Obama Campaign has been able to tear this man’s life apart after it was the Obama Campaign that went to his neighborhood to solicit votes. But Joe spoke up and began to ask the serious questions — Not allowed! In the last year how much have we learned about Barack Obama?
Barack Obama and Bill Ayers relationship – Just a man that did horrific crimes when I was 8 years old is a blatant lie! No transparency here! Barack Obama worked closely with this man on several organizations and had his launch party for the Senate at Ayer’s home.
CAC – Secret
Obama’s true original Birth Certificate-Indonesia birth certificate- His duel citizenship is a secret. Lawsuits have been filed but NO MEDIA COVERAGE ALLOWED. There is “media” coverage in Canada and Europe. America no longer has “free press”.
Obama’s State Senate Record-Sealed and a Secret
Obama’s college transcripts-Sealed and a Secret

Obama’s Cousin Odinga who received tax payer’s money and Obama speaking revolutionary measures at an Odinga rally-Secret
Obama’s Rezko relationship-Secret
Obama’s huge amount of money coming from unknown sources-Secret
And the list goes on and on.

Randy,
Joe the plumber asked a simple question when Obama came in to his neighbourhood.
Obama fumbled on it.
Now Obama has let the media and his supporters go after the guy, and what did he do?
Just ask Obama a simple question and Obama came up with a embarrasing answer.

Ann, what the Obaambots have done to Joe is typical Obot tactics. they villify anyone who threatens the image of Obama. Where is the change in all of this? This is why I think they will lose in the end.
Obama has now turned his Obots on programs like Hannity and Rush, and O’reilly, Laura Ingram. Notice how Obama takes jabs at Fox news. Fox news leans right and does not join in on the Obama media love fest so now Obama wants to take them out. If Obama gets elected expect to see censorship of the media.
Obama’s was on this path way back with Alice Plamer in Chicago. If you get in Obama’s way he finds a method to destroy you. Joe the plumber was a threat so the minions of Obots dig up dirt on him. Sarah Palin was a threat so the Obots rent sled dogs and trek to Alaska.
I don’t care if Joe the plumber was a felon. He asked Obama a question and Obama gave a socialist answer. That will never be erased.

Sorry Mitch, got you mised up with Gregh

The real questions that come across in this Joe episode,
Why is Obama thinks ‘wealth distribution’ is such a great idea.
Why is media not asking such questions.

no, senator mccain is an honorable man. its just his campaign was run by karl rove people and it likely will cost him the election. but again, the focus is for obama supporters to not get complacent and take things for granted. the polls mean nothing without the VOTE!!!
SENATOR MCCAIN IS NOT AN HONORABLE MAN, HE IS A DISGUSTING MAN WITH N O HONOR LEFT WHO IS INCITING HATE, FEAR AND VIOLENCE AND WILL SAY AND DO ANYTHING TO TRY TO WIN – BUT IT WILL NOT WORK

Again Obama got embarrased because he wanted to spread the wealth.
The shameless media once again harrasses a simple American Joe because Obama fumbled his answer to the question.

Greg, this is the way Obamabots are. They are not troubled by Obama’s answer to Joe which was the answer of a socialist and wrapped in a smile.

ACORN is the ones who flag and turn in those registrations….they are required by law to turn in any registration but THEY are the ones that flagged them. ACORN FLAGGED the errors but REQUIRED to turn them in.
Wouldn’t surprise me if it was republicans PLANTS signing them up, but it doesn’t matter they didn’t vote and were FLAGGED by ACORN.
Even FL Gov Crist said acorn issues exaggerated to caus CHAOS

Who is G Gordan Liddy????????????? I know he is a friend of McCain’s, gave to Mccain but who is he?

Ann please read a history book. Liddy was in the White House Plumbers unitduring the Nixon administration. The fact that you have to ask who Liddy is, shows how uneducated you are.

Susan wrote “FactCheck is run by The “Annenberg Group”. Does that ring any bells with you? Bill Ayers? Don’t you see a huge conflict of interest there? If not, run a google check on “Annenberg Group Obama” & read about it. They’re NOT non-partisan! ”
Susan is RIGHT. Annenberg was a close friend of Ronald Reagan’s, who donated over $10 Million to The Reagan Foundation
If Annenberg has anything to do with factcheck, then they are certainly a partisan organization with a right-wing bias.
Thanks Susan for bringing it to our attention and proving once again that Obama has HIS facts right!

It seems that the media is more interested in Joe a orinary guy in ohio.
Meanwhile they cover up Obama’s relationship with Rezko, Jeremiah wright, khalidi etc, If McCain had anywhere near the radical connections of Obama the media would have gone hard on it.
Posted by: Greg h | Oct 17, 2008 8:11:59 AM
He has.
US Council for World Freedom
G. Gordon Liddy
Timmons, Transition Chief

There are several other lawsuits that are popping up around the nation. All Americans want is proof that the guy is who he says he is. Obama refuses to provide the necessary documentation.
PS. The fake “registration of birth” that Obama provided on his website is NOT a legal birth certificate. Please do your homework before you fall for this fraud. He’s a scam artist.
Posted by: John | Oct 17, 2008 8:21:55 AM
No, ALL Americans don’t want to know, just you Republican parrots do.

HERE ANN:
George Gordon Battle Liddy (born November 30, 1930) was the chief operative for the White House Plumbers unit that existed during several years of Richard Nixon’s Presidency. Along with E. Howard Hunt, Liddy masterminded the first break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate building in 1972. The subsequent cover-up of the Watergate scandal led to Nixon’s resignation in 1974; Liddy served four and a half years in prison for his role in the burglary.
Liddy later became an American radio talk show host, actor and political strategist. Liddy’s radio talk show is now syndicated in 160 markets and on both Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio stations in the United States. He has also been a guest panelist for Fox News Channel in addition to appearing in a cameo role or as a guest celebrity talent in several television shows.

Posted by: The Surge | Oct 17, 2008 8:36:56 AM
Seems you left the bad parts out.
“As Media Matters for America has noted, Liddy served four and a half years in prison in connection with his conviction for his role in the Watergate break-in and the break-in at the office of the psychiatrist of Daniel Ellsberg, the military analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers.
Liddy has acknowledged preparing to kill someone during the Ellsberg break-in “if necessary”; plotting to murder journalist Jack Anderson; plotting with a “gangland figure” to murder Howard Hunt to stop him from cooperating with investigators; plotting to firebomb the Brookings Institution; and plotting to kidnap “leftist guerillas” at the 1972 Republican National Convention — a plan he outlined to the Nixon administration using terminology borrowed from the Nazis. (The murder, firebombing, and kidnapping plots were never carried out; the break-ins were.)
During the 1990s, Liddy reportedly instructed his radio audience on multiple occasions on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents and also reportedly said he had named his shooting targets after Bill and Hillary Clinton.”

Obama’s a fraud! He’s an illegal alien.
The truth will be known very soon. It’ll be great when all this Obama Drama is finally over with. It’s getting really old.
Posted by: Jake | Oct 17, 2008 8:45:52 AM
No, what is getting really old is McCain, Palin and their supporters lying and inciting hate.

jwench, the liddy part was from wikipedia. Ann did not know who the guy was period.

Posted by: The Surge | Oct 17, 2008 8:58:04 AM
Well, I added to that what Liddy actually had done. Seems you people only post dirt on Obama.

We all know now that Joe the Plummer is actually a Republicans plant aka “Joe the Republican”. This stunt raises questions about ACORN. What a convenient connection between ACORN and Senator Obama since he was a community organizer. It would be so easy for the Republicans to plant workers within ACORN to manufacture the fraudulent forms. This would create the appearance of a criminal activity and Obama connection. It is strange that we have not seen any actual ACORN field worker involvement. The workers who actually turned this fraudulent forms in. That could be easily tracked. The attempt is to put ACORN the organization on trial. So much could be accomplish by the Republicans from this new stunt; disenfranchise thousands of legal voters, tarnish the image of Senator Obama, and steal some key battleground states, won the election. If this ACORN mess is not resolve within the next 2 weeks, than this theory becomes something more. We all know what happen to our democracy in FL 8 years ago. Those facts are now clear. Most of our recent calamities have been man-made. These are the stunts that causes our calamities. If this is true, don’t blame the Republican. We have no one to blame but ourselves. We got fooled once (2000 via FL) , than twice (2004 via OH) and now here we are in 2008 (via ACORN).

TO the person who said McCain is technically not a citizen, I believe Sentator McCain was born on a military base in Panama, and a military base is considered American property, so don’t go there.

The Truth,
So if you go to an Obama event and ask him a question you had better be a democrat right? Otherwise you are a plant for the other party, therefore any stupid answer that Obama gives that points to him being a socialist is hence nullified.
Okay I get it. I forgot that Obama is the great unifier.

As a matter of fact yes you have posted dirt on Obama.
Greg, this is the way Obamabots are. They are not troubled by Obama’s answer to Joe which was the answer of a socialist and wrapped in a smile.

What about God? Can any religious democrats still maintain God, family…oh Country, and jobs (maybe friends too)… or is Obamessiah more important and trump God & Country?

Obama’s supporters are doing a good enough job mucking up the works all by themselves. So how many states have investigations on ACORN now, 13? Hmmm.
When will Democrats resist the urge to cheat and lie, and just run a clean campaign?

Posted by: Jwench-McCain and his parrots are making a bid deal of ACORN. Did you know he was a keynote speaker a few years back?

He was more than a keynote speaker. Look it up on marketwatch and other sites. But I guess that would be too much for you to do. They don’t carry that on the right wing sites you obviously read and believe.

You have the nerve to say the democrats don’t run clean campaigns when John McCain and Pitbull Palin have come up with some of the most vile hateful stuff about Obama? I guess you also forgot the elections of 2000 and 2004.

That’s ALL you Obama faithful got! McCain spoke at an ACORN event. A big whoop! All that shows if McCain’s willingness to reach across the aise, even if that means showing up at a corrupt Democrat supporting group’s event.
And now, what does McCain have to show for reaching across the aisle? I bet he’s still trying to remove that dagger from his back that the Dems have since place.

Posted by: Darryl | Oct 17, 2008 9:27:50 AM
Do me a favor and research the following about your wonderful John McCain:
US Council for World Freedom
Timmon, Transition Chief
Then tell me you candidate isn’t dirty

just go with the old Democrat MO
Vote early, vote often
looks like Ohio is completely rigged for BHO.

It’s gonna be scary when the real BHO is revealed (illegal alien fraud that he is).
I suppose the Dems are currently scrambling around trying to cover their asses & come up with ideas to force a federally funded REHAB program on the American people for all the Obamabots once the crap hits the fan & the truth is revealed.
All the Obamabots will be weeping & gnashing their teeth over the fact that Obamessiah isn’t who he claimed to be.

“I’m astounded that this issue is being trotted out again. Based on what I saw in 2004 and 2006, it’s a scare tactic.”
Who’s that speaking? And what’s he talking about?
That’s fired US Attorney David Iglesias talking about the news leaked today that the DOJ and FBI are opening a nationwide investigation into allegations that the community organization ACORN is somehow working to undermine the November election through fraud. For more from Iglesias and his fellow fired US Attorney Bud Cummins, don’t miss TPMMuckraker’s Zack Roth’s interview post from earlier this evening.
Iglesias got fired not long after the 2006 midterm election because he wouldn’t get off the dime and bring bogus vote fraud indictments against Democrats or time other indictments of Democrats to sway the 2006 election. In other words, he got canned for not doing what a number of his former colleagues at the DOJ are happily doing this very day.
Nor was Iglesias simpy a respected attorney with solid enough connections to swing a US Attorney appointment. He was a rising star in the New Mexico Republican party. Iglesias was the Republican nominee for Attorney General in 1998. (Not that it’s immediately relevant to this question, but Iglesias was the Navy JAG lawyer on whom Tom Cruise’s character in A Few Good Men was based.) This was that reassuring case where a political person’s partisan attachments butted up against his integrity and the latter won the day hands down. This is someone who knows this scam from the inside and whose testimony — literal and figurative — comes not in line with partisan attachments but in spite of them. Everyone should listen.

According to the recently released report on the firings by the Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General, Allen Weh, the state party chair, continually pressed Iglesias to make voter fraud a priority, and in 2005 sent an email to Karl Rove and others in the White House office in which he asked for Iglesias to be removed, and a replacement appointed “that takes voter fraud seriously.”
The report concluded:
complaints from New Mexico Republican politicians and party activists about Iglesias’s handling of voter fraud and corruption cases were the reasons for his
removal as U.S. Attorney.
And it left no doubt that the Bush administration’s decision to act on these complaints represented inappropriate politicization of the Department of Justice.
Still, it looks like the party is still out there pushing the issue.
It’s not that we were expecting the GOP to act chastened after getting caught pressuring non-partisan law enforcement officials to pursue bogus and politically motivated cases of voter fraud.

Obama’s TRICKLE UP POVERTY plan. LOL
Found this on another site & thought I’d share. It’s great!
“Then there is Obama’s outright Socialism. Socialism is great until you run out of someone else’s money. Then EVERYONE pays. Obama is a spokes person for Trickle up Poverty.”

So unless Palin is for abortion she’s stupid?
palin is a serious embarrassment to intelligent women. i refuse to let someone like that represent me in the white house. she is a joke. i’m trying so hard to remain level headed about it. she is an american after all
Hey that’s intelligent and even handed!
Supports abortion = smart
Against aprotion = stupid!
very clear now!

The McCain campaign can’t run on issues anymore (even national defense) so all they’ve got is character assassination. It would be a compliment to call some of the posters here “gutter snipes”. These are misrepresentations, distortions, or outright lies. Stop the fear mongering and talk about how McCain will fix the economy and improve our lot in the world – if you can.
Attempts to raise these kinds of doubts about Obama aren’t going anywhere with swing voters; in fact, they’re hurting McCain daily. Most voters are too smart for that. They also have too many concerns about what the previous eight years have done to the state of the US economy and our position in the world.
The fact is that Barack Obama is a patriotic American who just happens to have a different opinion than John McCain about what will serve our country best. John McCain has acknowledged this. Even arch-conservatives like David Brooks and Christopher Buckley are in support of Barack Obama. Obama has made the most of what America has offered him and he is grateful for it.
Obama’s supporters are thoughtful Americans who are inspired by his life experience, his education, his writings, and his work in government. They share his opinion that the US is a great country that can be made even greater by changing the direction from that of the Bush administration and empowering the middle class instead of only the super rich top five percent.
Obama has been thoroughly vetted by the American free press, as a prerequisite to getting elected, and for serving on various committees in the Senate. We still have the finest and most free press in the world. If there was a leak in Obama’s story, the press would have dished it out with great joy and great ratings. You can’t serve on many senate committees (like foreign relations) if you haven’t been cleared for very high levels of government security. At this point, he’s been fully vetted for President.
If any McCain supporters actually believe half the lies they are posting in these comments, they might consider seeking assistance from a mental health professional. You’re just wallowing in self serving delusions and hoping that if you repeat these fantasies enough, they might somehow come true.

Jazz Singer, sorry, but the McCain camp is NOT out of ideas. Each and every day, McCain (and Palin) outline their positive plans to help our nation move forward. He has laid out a mortgage plan that will bring stability to housing values. He has proposed excellent ideas related to the financial crisis– including allowing seniors to skip withdrawals from their retirement funds without penalty and freezing government spending. He has outlined the ways to energy independence— read his Lexington Project proposals– including building nuclear plants and drilling off-shore. You mean he has no ideas with which you can agree– or more likely, you mean you want people to believe he has no ideas and is busy practicing “character assassination” instead. But we know better. We know that the press, and folks like you, don’t pay much attention when McCain addresses the pressing issues of the day. Your ears only perk up when he has the audacity to mention the Ayers questions or to ask why Obama won’t repudiate ACORN and agree to work with the Republicans on an effort to reduce voter fraud. Then you don’t take the issues seriously, you just start to froth about how this is an unwarranted attack on Obama.

Hey Jake,
How about McCain’s birth certificate? Do you know he was not born in the United States?

Jake,
If you Google “Barack Obama” and “birth certificate”, you’ll come up an article in a blog from the LA Times that shows a picture of it. Can we finally put that tired canard to rest?

Okay lets look at Pailn-
Dropped out of multiple colleges before getting a degree.
She uses improper English. Even though alot of idiots think it cute, “I’ll betcha” and “Gosh Darn it” are not proper English speaking words. Try going on an interview talking like this and see what happends to you.
Okay lets look at McCain- graduated five from the bottom of his class. Barely made it through flight school, only made it because of his father’s status. Crashed three planes early in his flying career. And was actually the co-pilot in the plane that went down in Vietnam. He takls about killing earmarks! He killed an earmark that would have brought a Veterans Hospital to a small town. He killed an earmark for a Cancer treament center. He’s a follower and that why he picked Palin. Someone in his campaign told him to pick her (to get Hillary voters). He was going to pick Romney or one of those those other rock heads. Instead he chose the role of follower and listen to the looney idiots on his team. He should have asked himself ” Who can I pick that would be ready to serve as President if something happens to me? Instead he asked “Who can I pick that will help me when?”. As a result he ended up picking a dumb bag of rocks for a VP..And the rest is history.

Bob Voss,
Are you for real?
Just because it “looks real to you” doesn’t make it so. Are you an expert like the people who have already concluded that it’s a forgery? ROFLMAO
John McCain Shirts,
Yes, anyone can file a lawsuit. Berg did & the Obama camp WILL NOT & CANNOT produce the necessary documentation. Something’s rotten in Denmark! It’s ridiculous that someone that’s running for President CANNOT produce a legal birth certificate. Get a clue.

3 words: DEWEY defeats TRUMAN
The polls, the pundits, the press and even the candidates got it wrong. It’s not like these guys are infallible (or even unbiased).
It ain’t over ’til it’s over. And a lot of basketball games have been lost when the team with the lead goes into their four-corners-run-the-clock-out stall.
Nixon had plumbers to help impact the outcome in 1972. Appears that McCain has his own plumber to make a run at a momentum shift this year.

The McCain/Palin campaign is truly grasping at straws. They don’t have any real plans for America, except to continue the policies of George Bush, so they pick any untruth they can find to play with. It’s sure easier than talking about the real issues. Obama/Biden 08!

Tomorrow’s the big day! WOOOOOHOOOOOO
The chickens have finally come home to roost – as Jeremiah Wright would say. ROFLMAO
API is going to release the audio of Michelle Obama’s recent phone call to API. Can’t wait. She’s apparently totally UNHINGED & confirms the fact that Obama is in fact an illegal alien. This ought to be good.
Stay tuned! Listen up AMERICA! The truth will set you free!
