Obama: McCain’s Tactics ‘Getting So Bad’ Even Palin’s Denouncing Them

“ugly phone calls”
Obama just can’t handle the truth about his past. They are truthful phone calls.

Obama has a nice way of twisting words. Palin’s quote clearly shows that she was talking about Obama’s gross attempt at buying this election. He is outspending McCain 4 to 1 on advertising. He has purchased 30 minute “ads” on three major networks during the last week of the campaign.
Oh..and guess what? Obama is robocalling too. Negatively. But…propganda is a wonderful tool. And, Obama has the added benefit of having willing assistants such as our boy Jake Tapper! :)

Witless from Wasilla sees the ship sinking and is not going to take the blame for the disaster. She’s laying the grouindwork for her own campaign in 2012. Ya betcha!

more love from the ‘progressives’:
Jon Stewart to Sarah Palin: ‘[Expletive] You.’
Speaking to a college audience in Boston, Mass. Friday, “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart used his stand-up routine to respond to Sarah Palin’s comments about “pro-America” parts of the country, shedding the profanity restrictions that govern his Comedy Central show.
“She said that small towns, that’s the part of the country she really likes going to because that’s the pro-America part of the country. You know, I just want to say to her, just very quickly: [expletive] you,” Stewart said to raucous applause.

Poor Palin………
The little girl scout thought she was doing good for the home team when instead she finds herself being pimped out for a cause unbeknownst to her.
McCain will be shooing imaginary Biracial men from his wife’s lawn while sipping on warm buttermilk this time next year. Palin will be reduced to a lame duck governor from Alaska. After this election, rest assured she’ll be all alone with the countless cases and probes that are awaiting her in Alaska.
Guess what? McCain won’t be anywhere near to assisting her.
PIMP MY PARROT PALIN
Obama/Biden – It’s a Lock

In the end when this is all over and McCain sits back to think where his campiagn went wrong… he’ll think of Sarah Palin.

“Obama is running robocalls but in his world he can run them and get away with them.
What hypocracy Obama is getting on McCain for running robocalls when Obama with his money is running far more robocalls.”
…
Do any of those robocalls call John McCain a terrorist? A baby killer? A socialist?
McCain’s campaign is a puddle of slime.

yavo,
That’s who your next POTUS will be.
Nuff said.
Your disserations are a little over the top considering this is going to be a massive landslide, don’t you think?
Nothing you can ask, say, query, whine or rant about will change the inevitable.
Obama will be in the White House in January and you’ll still be asking “Who Is He?” You’re funny, VERY funny.

Why is it that if someone doesn’t support Obama, that they are deemed racist? Does that mean that blacks who don’t support McCain are racist too?
Stick to the issues folks. It is this REVERSE racism that keeps the fires burning.
As a registered Republican, and Obama supporter, I am disgusted to see the behaviors on both sides. It is pretty pathetic when your knowledge is limited to focusing less on issues, and more on making comments about “cynical whites” and the like.
It only has as much credibility as you lend to it, so make a choice – continue to feed the frenzy or talk about something that actually matters.
Obama doesn’t need uneducated commentary to support him. People who do so only weaken his image in the undecided eye.

Concerned, why do you keep calling McCain Senator Government? Is it because he’s been there so long and is such a basic part of the Washington Establishment?

Jon Stewart to Sarah Palin: ‘[Expletive] You.’
========================================
My sentiments exactly! While not the most articulate response, John Stewart was expressing the point of view from those of us many Republicans consider the other America….

GET OVER THE HATE AND THE JEALOUSY. DON’T HATE BECAUSE MR. OBAMA RECEIVED MORE MONEY THAN MR. MCCAIN. LIKE MR OBAMA SAID; WE WON’T THROW THE FIRST BUT WE WILL THROW THE LAST. NO MATTER WHAT HE CAN BUY HE CAN’T BUY THE ELECTION AND HE CAN’T STEAL THE ELECTION LIKE YOUR MR. BUSH DID FROM THE PAST ELECTIONS…HE CHEATED AND DID WHAT EVER HE HAD TO DO TO WIN.
YOU LIVE BY THE SWORD YOU DIE BY THE SWORD.

YAVO LEMMING:
Who’s Barack Obama? That’s who your next POTUS will be, little grasshopper!

Nobama ’08
Lemmings for Obama

Michelle Obama would like to thank you for buying her a $500 lunch for two.
On October, 15,2008, Michelle Obama spent $447.39 on room service (for 2) at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for an afternoon snack of Lobster Hors D’Oeuvres ($50.00), Whole Steamed Lobsters (100.00), Iranian Osetra Caviar ($150.00), and Bollinger Champagne ($44.00)
Sounds exquisite, doesn’t it, if your culinary tastes run to lobster, caviar and champagne? But this insight into the Obama lifestyle makes us wonder how often Joe ‘the Plumber’ Wurzelbacher of Toledo, Ohio and his family eat lobster with all the trimmings.
How often does the average person eat like this? Or is it only those who make $250,000 or more? Or only the 95% of the population laboring under the illusion that they will get tax breaks under the Obama Wealth Redistribution Plan?

Stopthestupidity
100% agree
The level to which this election has sunk makes me ill and the truly vile things people have said makes me worry about the future of this country.

If you don’t know who Obama is at this point…you have had to be on the moon for the last 2 years…oy.
what a stupid question.

“It seemed to me Palin was denouncing Obama’s tactics, what with his all Obama all the time channels and ads and his unlimited spending at the price of the American people who are in such a credit crunch right now. ‘
In the swing state where I live it’s been 1 month of non-stop Obama attack ads.

Well now the GOP is going to attack Obama for being successful. Heaven forbid that anyone should run a smart, intelligent campaign!

McCain/Palin are running robocalls with essentially the same words that Palin has been speaking at her rallies for the past week. The same words that have resulted in some people shouting hate.
Our children are answering these calls. I’m sick and tired of having to explain to my children what McCain and Palin are doing by calling my household and telling lies to my children.

I support Obama, but I don’t see the advantage that her statements confer on his campaign nor do I see how she is distancing herself from McCain. What I DO see is a Repulbican who is crying foul because the Dem is getting and spending more campaign money! What I DO see but still don’t believe are Republicans claiming that Obama is buying the election!!! What hypocrisy! The Dems have finally put together a well-oiled, well-organized political machine that is getting out the vote and convincing people to contribute loads of money. Sounds just like what Rove and his minions did in 2000 and then again in 2004. Guess the Repubs don’t want the Dems to play the same kind of behind-the-scenes game.

What will be even more amusing is the conservative horror as Obama and the dems push the country left field and out of the ballpark. We all know the dems will redraw the voting districts to favor themselves just like the republicans, re-enact the fairness doctrine, enact nationwide election day registration,and will probably naturalize millions of immigrants that will be certain to vote for them in the future. The Republican’s attempt to impose a permanent conservative majority is about to backfire in an unimaginable way,to the point that this could be the end of the modern conservative movement. I guess you reap what you sew…

ohiogirl,
Obama is spending his donors money.
McCain is spending tax payer dollars.

I can hear the GOP gettin’ all fired up cos they know they’re gonna lose. Man this is gonna be sweet. Can’t wait till election day. There’s nothing like watching a neocon get his ass whooped.

BREAKING: Head of GOP Voter Reg. Outift Arrested
bradblog — Head of California GOP voter registration outfit charged with voter registration fraud, according to CA Sec. of State’s office. The firm, YPM, also under investigation in several states for allegedly illegally switching thousands of registrations from Democratic to Republican…

ACORN was just signing up buildings and Micky Mouse…they can not vote, but the REPUBLICANS ARE ACTUALLY CHEATING TO GET A VOTE:

Wise Up,
I suppose you think McCain and his wife are sharing a grilled cheese sandwich in order to save money? McCain is running on public financing, in other words, our money. I am sure he is not holding back on his room service orders. Although at the Waldorf a grilled cheese sandwich would probably cost $20.

geevill: “and Obama is silent about his media storm troppers attacking Joe the plumber.”
Please cite one case of the media “attacking” Joe the Plumber. Pointing ou that he is not a plumber, was blatantly lying about being negatively impacted by Obama’s tax plan, is a staunch Republican, and does not pay his taxes as the vast majority of Americans do all seem to be highly relevant to processing his accusations. I would hardly call them attacks, and Joe the Plumber appears more than able to handle the media’s glare having given more unscripted interviews than Sarah Palin (and frankly looking better informed than her in the process).
The Republican party’s newest Big Lie – that the media destroyed Joe the Plumber – just doesn’t have any support behind it at all. Reporting the truth is not attacking and after almost 8 years of Republican government, it’s kinda nice to see facts, reality and the truth make a comeback on TV.

Funny to hear republicons moan about Obama spending so much money. They never had a problem with it until this election when the Democrats have more oney than they do. And the SOURCE of the money is the key – millions of Joe the Plumbers (actual plumbers) sending in 25, 50, 100 bucks because they care about America. Not just oil companies and millionaires pouring money into the republicon party this time around.
The only real question is why mckane still polss as well as he does. He should be down there with his ideological soulmate in the low 20s.
As far as a liberal majority. The last two times this happened, 1933 and 1965, saw the greatest forward movment in the country of the 20th century. Yeah, wouldn’t want to repeat the successes of the New Deal or the great Society. All that “socialism” like social security, medicare, medicaide, affordable housing, deposit insurance, banking oversight, job opportunities, technological breakthroughs, investment in infrastruture, civil rights for all Americans. Yeah, that was just terrible.

“Obama is spending his donors money.
McCain is spending tax payer dollars. ”
And if elected, he’ll be spending all of our money.

So when Obama smears his opponents,that’s o.k. but when GOP smears him, it’s now “hate.” This fastfood coward is a shameful little yahoo. Cannott til he’e elected and all he does is run this nation aground. Will the impressionable, TV-addled yahoos who worship the paperboy be crying and dancing then? Yes, because they are idiots who cannot and will not distinguish fact from fiction.

–Shay–I do have my facts straight but do you or have you drink so much contaminated Kool Ade, you do not know the truth. He gave $26,000 to his church in one year and then deducted from income tax. Please check facts instead of calling names. Thanks.

Obama is bigoted aganist poor white people, misogynist, racist against Asian Americans, classist, homophobic, and in the pocket of big corporate interests who are his real biggest donors. He has a giant ego, and is for the suppression of the most minor criticism of himself. No way in heck am I voting for a creep like that.

Senator Obama exemplifies family values. He honors his parents, grandparents, and his extended family in Kenya, Kansas, and Hawaii. He has been married to one beautiful woman for sixteen years and has two delightful young daughters. He’s worked in communities to better the lives of children, teenagers, and families. He respects women and works to uphold their rights. His economic proposals are designed to help and lift up working families. He has detailed plans to make health care more available and affordable for all families. He has his own Christian faith, but does not impose that faith on others. He leads by example, with integrity and compassion.
In recent debates, Obama has outlined clearly his economic priorities. Invest in diverse energy sources; invest in fuel-efficient automobile technology; invest in American jobs; invest in small businesses and the middle class; provide tax-relief to 95% of American individuals and families; invest in Head Start and in students pursuing higher education; invest in preventive health care. He’s done his part in this campaign, letting us know who he is and what he stands for. Across the miles from rural Alaska…

“He honors his parents, grandparents, and his extended family in Kenya, Kansas, and Hawaii.’
What about his brother that lives in a shack on $1 dollar a month, and his typical white Granny that lives under the bus?

Yavo Lem: “Shall I go on????”
Please no. We all are quite clear about what you are and the value of your thoughts. I notice that Senator Obama supporters see no need to harp on McCain not releasing his academy records, or military records (how many jets did he crash?), or his birth certificate, etc. And for the record, the tin foil hatters are officially onto begging for his “Certified Pledge of Allegiance” now that they look like complete idiots over the birth certificate thing (his birth was even published in the Hawaii paper notice the week he was born – great pre-planning I guess!).

“I agree with Rev. Wright”
Nuff said. I went to church Sunday and you know what? I didn’t hear one word about damming America, or racist comments against whites, or blacks for that matter.

President Obama.
such a nice ring to it :)!
150 million and counting, grassroots movmement, mobilizing individuals, uniting for a new nation. This is CHANGE.

ohiogirl raises an interesting point…although she has no understanding of it. Firstly, yes, the Obama camapign is spending millions (as is the McCain camp although he cannot afford quite as much). However to draw the inane conclusion that this is somehow inappropriate given the current economic crisis is laughable. Do you perhaps think that Obama should use that money to help fix it? Well, in a way, that’s exactly what he’s doing by trying to win this election. And what’s it to you anyway? He’s not spending your money…actually he spending MINE, and the thousands of others who have donated to the greatest grassroots funding effort in US election history. Ironically, and even moreso since you brought it up, it’s McCain who accepted the federal matching funds, so he’s actually spending MY money too. But that’s okay, my portion of that is unimaginably small, even when compared to my very modest contribution to the Obama effort. Finally, your boycott plan is ill-conceived (like most boycotts). What do the major networks care if you watch or not? There is no commercial time during the 30 min. block of air. They have already been compensated in advance by the Obama campaign. So, already paid, they care about your viewership almost as much as I do…which is not at all. The same goes for your hair-brained opinion on what I should watch or how I should spend MY money. –PS guess who’s state won’t get to screw it up for the rest of us this time…

“Mack, you are a part of that negative impression.
Congratulations”
Well, I think Nat Turner may have something to say about that.

Mack:
re” I went to church Sunday and you know what? I didn’t hear one word about damming America, or racist comments against whites, or blacks for that matter.”
obviously you are not going to a ‘real’ republican church located in ‘real’ america…praying to the god that’s only accessible to ‘real’ republicans..
you know the ones that believe the earth is 5000 years old, dinosaurs and men walked around together, evolution is a fraud ‘theory’..
you know the ones that indoctrinate their kids into praying before a cardboard image of GW Bush….. preaching white power

Thank you ACORN for registering the dead and spending your 800k wisely!”
Such a dimwit you are, ACORN Was registering not casting votes. 800 was to do canvassing NOT registering. and even if a low paid worker padded numbers and registered false names they WILL Not be voting because Micky mouse does not have a government issued ID. ACORN reported false registrations to the government and election officials. so stop making dumb excuses.
150 million strong, because of my consistent donation as an individual and my belief in change.
so thanks your ignorant comment, senator Obama just got another $10 over in next browser window.

Yavo Lem-wow-say it ain’t so Joe!
Andrew K. McCain, a son of Republican presidential nominee John McCain, sat on the boards of Silver State Bank and of its parent, Silver State Bancorp, starting in February but resigned in July citing “personal reasons,” corporate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission show. Andrew McCain also was a member of the bank’s audit committee, responsible for oversight of the company’s accounting.”
Causing S&L failures and costing taxpayers millions in bailouts are apparently a family thing with the McCains.

The GOP’s message of hate and divisiveness have been allowed to run amok for quite sometime now. So it’s not surprising that it has risen to a fever pitch. From Rush Limbaugh, Anne Coulter, Rove and the likes, people just laughed them off and were told to ignore them. Now we see where such hate message lead. It’s destroying America and influencing the world in a most negative way. America is no longer the country other countries wish to emulate.

No the church that I went to had a mass that lasted about 1 hour. No hate messages against anyone. You and the Obamas’ need to find a different church with less hate. They are out there.
__________________________________________________
Interesting. I never said anything about MY church. Using your logic, what type of church do you and the McCain/Palin’s need to find?
My church is about love and some of my best friends are Jewish.
If you are so against the “hate”, why is it okay for Palin to go to her church and McCain to have sought the endorsement of what “hate” speaking pastors? (Your word “hate” – not mine)
Seems a bit on the double -standard side…..

“Enough progressive, open minded, driven, middle class individuals understanding what is at stake in this election is what will carry this nation to a historic victory.”
And enough cigarette bribed bums will be bussed to the polls to cast their witless votes.

incase you haven’t heard , voting is a fundamental right, not a privledge. A cigarette bribed bum can and will excercise his/her constitutional right.
i’m done for the day! :) cheers all and Vote in 08!

I am not voting for Obama b/c I do not trust him, he has proven himself to be a liar. Not just about political lies but about his inability to follow through when he gives his word. He has no words to convince me he can be trusted. I do not trust him, I will never vote for him.
Every day I ask WHO IS BARRY OBAMA???

“Wright was right in what he preached because he grew up with the separate H2O fountains, separate restrooms, separate churches, etc. Religion ‘
The way he preaches his hateful message you would think that he was still drinking out of a separate water fountain.

Did anyone just see the Sanchez report about the McCain supporters sending two of these hate spewing jerks packing? He and his wife were doing the racist speak crap, but were confronted and chased away…GOOD GOING…I’m so-o-o proud of these people!

Wow….talk about republicans IMPLODING…:)
now….realize…the dems will take NOTHING for granted this year and will focus tirelessly til Nov 4th…
BUT
Y’all should go read the op-ed from Carville and Begala today…let the repub finger pointing begin.
Gallup +11 today.

A lot of Americans are hard workers and over the last several years seen the standard of life go down. I also read a lot about socialism. All Dems want is the Goverment to work for ordinary Americans as hard as they work for rich Americans. Isnt that the way America should be? Ask any American worker if he or she thinks all should have heath care and a quality education and i think you know the answer. McCain and Palin continue to bring devision to the American people. The robocalls keep hyping on Ayers and trying to convince people that Obama palls around with terrorist. Millions of America will think we have a terrorist in Office if Obama wins and millions will be angry at McCain for the lies and devision if he wins. Not good. McCain says to the lady that called Obama an Arab that Obama is a good and respected family man and yet the next thing you know McCains calls Obama a pal of a terrorist. What McCain should of said was he isnt an Arab, but so what if he was. He isnt a Muslim but so what if he is. By not saying these things he brings devision and Im sorry my friends, but my idea of America is a country where all religions and races are welcome with open hearts and minds and treated with equal respect. Many a Rep likes to use Jesus or being Christian as its base. Let me ask you. If you believe in the Christian belief and in Jesus’s teachings you would also understand that he didnt like the Rich and wealthy and too, tought that all mankind was God’s children and believed in taking care of the less fortunate and hungry. He also tought forgiveness.So some that are claming a Christian base and yet are using devision, racism or slander are going right against what they say they believe in. To knock any person strickly due to race, gender, wealth or religion is about the most unamerican thing one can do. It takes away any since of patriotism or love for this country or its ideas or what this country was founded on. The republican party needs a self test and to reflect on what it really stands for. Remember there are 100 really good reasons to vote this election and one really bad reason not to vote and thats prejuduce. Obama has my vote and i am proud to see Powell come on board.

Well, what do expect from SP. She says some wierd things. Reminds me of Bush.

Why is the liberal media running a majority of their stories on negative aspects of the McCain/Palin ticket and nowhere do is see them running negative press on Nobama/Bin Biden. Biden talked negatively about Obama in the VP debate, but there was hardly a whisper of it on the liberal medias news outlets. If you want to be fair then run the same positive or negative slants on both parties not just against the republicans.

It’s amazing the number of people who have bought into the myth that Democrats stand for nothing but moochers who do nothing. I disagree completely with that erroneous perception. I am a Democrat who has worked my ass off for 30 years at a Fortune 500 company. I’ve seen CEOs come and go and watched many of my qualified co-workers get laid off with the latest regime of leaders who have to do something to justify why they are there, so they cut people here in the U.S and ship jobs overseas to make the company more profitable, but have no regard about the effect on the people of the company. Then they leave with their big bonuses and severance packages and a new regime of top managers come in and do the same thing.
Yet, some Republicans seem to spout that they are the hard working ones, and that all of the progress in this country is made on their backs. BULL. They even espouse so-called Christian beliefs, pretending to be the keeper of family values, which seem even more hypocritical to me. I listen to both McCain and Obama’s philosophies and I recall that a tenet of the Christian doctrine to be “my brother’s keeper and to be my sister’s keeper”. I’ve never heard Obama talk about handouts to anyone, but rather enhancing education, health care and reducing our dependence on foreign oil. He’s said mainly that government should level the playing field for the “little guy”, so I think the perhaps he portrays more true Christian values than the religious right, who remind me more of the Pharisee’s in Jesus’ day.

Hey Wise Up, what do the McCains eat?

Just like John Kerrys campain at the end. abc and other news kept saying Kerry by a some sort of landslide would win.But in the end the silent ones voted. the ones who do not put up signs in their yards. The ones who did not get called by the democratic party every week to take the same poll over and over again instead of calling a new group of people to get a fresh idea of the margins. Here we are in 08 and for the first time in history we have a admitted socialist trying to take over the most powerfull office inb the world. Oh my what would Harry say?

“Mack
Since you are all fired up about ACORN, perhaps you can explain the developing Voters Outreach of America scandal where that group threw out Dem registrations as it only wanted Rep registrations or the Young Political Majors scandal where that group tricked folks into signing up on the Rep ticket by telling them they were signing a petition to get child molesters.
So, tell me again about voter registration scandals?’
Can we please have a legitimate third pary candidate?

Obama doesn’t have to worry. He can just buy another 188 million dollars of t.v. advertising.

November 4th will be the day that the Conservatives will really have to face up to the fact that it will be a long long time before they have a chance to resume power in the United States. If President Obama manages to turn the economy around, and find a way to provide affordable, universal health care to all Americans, there will be no turning back to the old “scratch and claw your way to the top, not careing who or how many get “stepped on” in the process”.
Remember, these people actually BELIEVE that liberals are EVIL! Just goes to show that they create their world in their own minds!

Agist bigots who say MvCain is “too old” are the same people that are letting their moms and and dad die slowly in their own waste, neglected in nursing homes. All dems care about is their own fat, ugly, SUV-wielding, cell=phone blathering selves. Dems are responsible for violent crime epidemic against women in the country, the worship og whores and gangstas, the sickening greed that caused Wall St woes and generations of dumb, dumb kids so dumb they cannot read, write, think or reason. It’s sickening!

Obama doesn’t even have any robocalls. Its not only bad taste but bad politics. Most research shows that they anger the voter and have no persuasive effect. Yeah – people love the phone ringing at 10p.m to find some douch bag recording. Poor McCain, he needs to go back to AZ

Face it, no matter who wins, we, the people, are still screwed. Neither party has a clue about what life is like for an ‘average’ American.

Also, even the McCain campaign said they didn’t know of any Obama robocalls.
I live in Florida and I’ve received nearly 30 since last Thursday from McCAin

And down the toilet the GOP goes!!! It’s about time!!! LOOK AT THE MESS WE ARE IN…

I think Robocalls are awesome. I’ve always thought robots were totally cool and now McCain has them working for his campaign! I mean I thought that kind of technology was decades away – have you ever tried talking to a Roomba? Just wait till McCain unleashes his mighty army of Robot-warriors on Osama Bin Laden! Victory through Robots! Attack! Attack!

Obama, the socialist will lie to attain the presidency. He twisted the words of Gov. Palin, Obama should be ashamed of his dirty politics.

Maria, why is all his spending at the price of americans? As a supporter I contributed to his campaign as most of his supporters have done.
Posted by: lindy | Oct 20, 2008 2:19:14 PM
Maybe “price” isn’t the correct word. I just feel like a lot of people are donating money to Obama when they really don’t have it to give. If you look at the fec website there are so many retired and unemployed people who have given to this campaign. He is just spending money left and right, flooding the airwaves and even putting campaign material in video games. It is just rediculous, for someone who talks about how bad the economy is, to continue to take peoples hard earned money.

Spread the Wealth Around = Socialism
“The inherent vice of capitalism is the uneven division of blessings, while the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal division of misery.”
I guess, Joe the Plumber gets this.

OBAMA!!! DEFEND YOURSELF!!!
Posted by: powmadeak47
Why should he (obama) spend his time and my donations arguing with mccain about fooolishness? Besides, he has provided explanations from the beginning and you people just dont hear it, you want still another explanation. Obama is not stupid, there is no reason for him to get bogged down with the totally dumb issues that have caused mccain to lose this election.

Obama robocalls are good, McCain’s robocalls are bad says Obama, the illegal alien.
Obama talks out of both sides of his mouth, typical communist viewpoint!

News Flash: John McSame has the racist vote locked up! He was endorsed by the KKK,Arien Nation,American Nazi party and Rev Hagee.

Obama = 2nd TURN OF JIMMY CARTER
========================================
McCain = 3rd term of George W. Bush. I’ll take my chances with Obama.

Instead of trying to buy the office of President, why doesn’t Obama take some of the money he has raised and “spread the wealth”.

Wow, I can not believe that these posts are from adults. Most aren’t even worried with stating their beliefs on whats going on… most are fighting about whos choice is better. NO ONE KNOWS. Obama has lied and so has McCain. Personally, I don’t like either of them. They both are politians and thats the problem. We need a smart, honest leader. One that we can hold to his/her word. So while the other “adult” americans, whos greed, by the way, is the reason that this “recession” has occurred, I’ll state my beliefs.
Want heathcare? get a real job, I had to.
Want nice things? get a real job
Want the economy to stop failing? Then how about stop trying to get loans for things you can’t afford and live within your means. READ the loan offer before you sign it. You honestly believe that the bank, who is trying to make money just like any other corporation in America, isn’t going to screw you over?
Grow up America… and for once? make an educated descision.

It’s interesting that the likes of Rush, and Sean, and Michael (Wiener) Savage, rail against the ‘liberal media’. First of all, the only one of them that actually finished college is Savage and he got a degree in nutrition. Hannity and Limbaugh dropped out to work in radio and found a nitsch market being loud, opinionated, ill-informed blow-hards. The fact of the matter is that even the conservative media is having a hard time feeling good about McCain or more to the point McCain’s judgement in choosing Palin. Conservative writers like David Brooks and Peggy Noonan have very little good to say about her or McCain at this point. To those who think Obama should have done more ads to defend himself; this falls into the category of not dignifying their assertions. He has done a good job of letting McCain and Palin bury their campaign in negativity. He stepped up his rhetoric when he needed to and otherwise let McCain-Palin implode, which it is doing exceptionally well.

The democrats are in control of congress for two years and the economy goes in the tank.
Obama’s ACORN and the democrats force the banks to make zero down loans on homes and there goes the mortgage market.
If the media was a “real” news agency, the democrats would be in the tank with the problems they caused.
Socialism is not the answer, socialism is the problem – made worse! Your not going to give my money to Obama’s welfare followers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about the flow of Middle Easternm funs to Obama? Let’s talk about Hamas claiming that Obama is their “son”.

AJ,
Unfortunately, racism is only recognized when black people support black people……
In this twisted world it’s commomly referred as “support” when the white racist groups support the white canidate.
In a perfect world it would be called supporting the person that you feel will hopefully bring forth the change of making our country a better place to raise our families, protecting the future of our children and grandchildren and so and so forth.

Dear Pragmatist,
You want socialism and you don’t think it will be like in USSR. You want socialism because you never experienced it. Most immigrants that escaped countries like USSR, Cuba, etc are voting for McCain. I guess they know better, you will soon find out.
However, you are right about the fact that Obama’s brand of socialism will be slightly different, considering his friends and supporters. At least, black militancy and muslim fundamentalism did not have a place in the Soviet dogma. Women had rights, Religion was opium for the masses, etc. Obama’s brand of Socialism will be much more dangerous. And you will soon find out.

Jason R: No one “forced” the banks to give subprime loans–they were more than willing. However, because the Bush Admin deregulated everything, banks and other financial institutions did whatever they pleased to get people to sign the bottom line (whether they could afford it or not.)

Why all the fuss about Joe the Plumber’s feelings and thoughts? He talked to Obama at the rally, but it was McCain who made him famous by bringing up his name a number of times at the debate. Only then did Obama join in by “talking to Joe.” The press only found out the facts about Joe the Plumber, that he wasn’t even a plumber and owed taxes. Don’t blame the messenger; these are facts in the public record. McCain didn’t bother to check out Joe’s background, just like he didn’t bother to really know Palin before he picked her. I might have considered voting for McCain if he’d have been humble and gracious enough to say, “Oops, what a mistake to pick her.” But, no, that doesn’t happen in politics. Palin isn’t humble enough to say she doesn’t know a lot of stuff. And I’m sure not saying that Obama is humble.
Speaking of facts: Obama wasn’t born in Hawaii; he was born in Kansas.
And regarding ACORN: it is required to turn in all forms that they gather for registering voters, even those that are blatantly false. That’s the law. Now why some of their people gather those false forms is a worthy question, but if they could throw out false forms, they can also throw out true forms. They are required to notify the authorities about the false forms.

Good one! Along the same lines as the writer of Heart’s ‘Barricuda’ sending his royalty check to the Obama campaign after they refused to stop using it at their rallies. Another good one.

Does anyone notice that all Obama does is talk about what his opponents are doing??? You’re all being brainwashed.
McCain ’08

LostDemocracy – blah blah blah. You rant and rave about “socialism” but you forget the fact that the free market couldn’t save itself and George Bush himself just socialized massive sectors of the banking and finance industry. Guess what – we’re all socialists now, comrade! Face it, socialism just saved the free market when capitlism failed. How funny is that?

A sane voice,
All I can tell you is when Bill Clinton was president he made good things happen for the american people. Bush came along and screwed all that up.

Ryan: Obama explains what his opponents are doing because they haven’t–McCain and Palin are too busy throwing dirt to explain what they will do for this country.

I cant believe the “ignorance” of people running with the “obama is for socialism”, obama wants to re-implement the taxes on the wealthiest that bush had given as cuts. These tax cuts the repubs want to say will create jobs are crazy, there havent been any created yet, only outsourced, and the wealthy getting wealthier by not paying their share. Obama also wants to get rid of “loop holes” that the richest use to avoid paying their share, and I say its about time, God knows I pay more than my share, and I am not rich enough to use tax shelters, loop holes, etc. Obama is also using advisors from clinton administration and seems to me things were much better then than they are now…………Obama is the smart and right choice for President…he also said he would give tax cuts to business that hires workers here, he is also NOT stating healthcare for all at Gov expense, ONLY for children…get the facts……….

I am embarrassed to be a Republican. The lies, false allegations, and low comments directed towards Obama have put the final nail in the coffin of the party that I have belonged to my whole life. The Bush-Cheney legacy to all Americans is a country that will take a change of direction to fix. Obama represents that change.
All of you die-hard Republicans, please watch the Colin Powell interview and endorsement from Meet the Press. Try to REALLY listen to his words.

Terri: Thanks for the post. I agree with you whole-heartedly but I’m scared the rest of these folks might ruin it for all of us!

OK IT’S TIME SOMEONE WENT THERE.
I mean am I supposed to think that the right-wingers will actually allow him to get thru one yr. in office?
Seriously, am I supposed to think that they will even allow him to live until the vote.
I notice no news agancy ever checks details on Obama’s security detail.
Just look at the blog posts on the net.They believe every allegation. They actually think he is a “muslim”, a “anti-American leftist”, a “socialist”, a “terrorist plant from Pakistan”, a “non citizen” etc etc.
You Obama supporters better be prepared to get a dose of reality. Obama has made a huge mistake by not addressing these accusations.
Defending himself should have been the bed-rock of his campaign.
Now he is marked as a traitor by a huge group of idiots who still think Saddam was behind the 911 attacks.
Just look at history. Right wing groups (in every era and country) always resort to violence.

If Palin would actually condemn the negative, lying, divisive attacks; I think she would gain respect. That would truly be going after the ‘good ole boys’ aka ‘her handlers’.
Sorry Sarah. McCain has used you and will throw you under the bus. Start looking out for you own political career.

I wish everyone would really listen to what Powell said. What he said actually made little sense. No one is accusing Obama of being a terrorist, merely that he has associated with a lot of radicals. That is true. Also, there is no evidence or record to show that Obama is anyting but a liberal democrat. Frankly, if you want 4 more years of Carter, vote for Obama.

Does anyone notice that all Obama does is talk about what his opponents are doing??? You’re all being brainwashed.
McCain ’08
Posted by: Ryan | Oct 20, 2008 4:20:05 PM
**************************************
I just have one question Ryan – Where have you been during this entire campaign?? McCain & Palin have nothing BUT talk about Obama through out the entire campaign. They talk about and trash him to the degree that rarely do they speak of their own platform. They are so negative that their own Republican colleagues denounce their techniques.
Crawl out of bed son, the election is almost here and apparently you’ve missed a most of the campaign.

On you tube, children are singing pro-Obama songs – “He will change it, and re-arrange it”. Both Soviet Union and Hitler used kids in their political propaganda machine. Obama first was brainwashed by people like Rev. Right, Ayer, Farakkan. Now he is brainwashing you. Congraz, America you have been duped.

Frankly I am tired of the entire thing and can’t wait for the election to be over one way or the other. Everyone is spending their time blaming instead of looking for feasible answers. It is time to admit that everyone has had their hand in the pot. And, that includes the American people.
We are a society of spoiled brats, unable to wait for anything, or even live within our means. Go ahead and blame the government for people losing their homes. The fact of the matter is, if you make 40k a year, you can’t afford a 200k home. No one held guns to peoples heads and made them take these ridiculous mortgages.
There are many people that have lost their homes,cars, etc. because they lost their jobs. For those individuals, I feel terrible. When you work and save your entire life to live the American dream, only to have it ripped from you, that is truly a tragedy. If it is gone because of your own foolish mistakes, then it just is what it is. You had to have known that it would happen.
We need to live our lives as my grandparents did…God-fearing, hard-working, money saving, family oriented individuals. Forget about keeping up with the Jones’.
Finally, Socialism will not work! Do you think the government is doing a good job with the war in Iraq? The bank bail-out, Social Security? If you said no, then why would you want them to handle your health care, your mortgage, or anything else important in your life?

Yes, he really does live in a neighborhood of radicals, doesn’t he? Is certainly isn’t Sesame Street. It is strange that he would live in a neighborhood with so many people who he despises and deplores and send his children to the same schools. Not. At least if you’re going to vote for him, call him what he is – a liberal who is trying to get elected by pretending that he is for everyone except the rich. Which in and of itself is kind of funny.

Every presidential candidate is subject to multiple backgound checks, including a check from the FBI. He was also under background checks throughout his political career in Illinois and before he became a senator. How can anyone with HALF a brain believe that with 2 weeks to go in the campaign here in 2008 that suddenly it would come to light that a birth certificate is somehow forged or a faked? Are you serious?

I have heard many on blogs stating the media is bias and the polls inaccurate..just because their choice candidate is down, typical repub, when it doesnt go your way resort to whining,lying, and blaming others. Pictures and police depts are not lying when they show pictures of 100,000 supporters turning out in MO, 77,000 in KS, and just recently in WA 12000 for a biden rally. Seems to me the polls are accurate, thats ALOT of people that believe obama is right for the job….as far as experience, I dont think anything one does gives them the experience to be President…it takes brains and good judgement. He will have appointees and many advisors that he will hear out and make a judgement call, I trust him way more than Mccain who changes his tune constantly, at least obama stays on his course, for the UNITED States of America, not the divided one Mccain is trying to divide further…………..

Sunil…………….well said my friend, well said……..Obama 08

I seen Hanity’s America part I and Part II, about Obama. I am shocked at the news media could over look Obama and his associations and activities.
I would not let my children associate with this friend of the criminals, terrorists and communists.
I changed my mind after seeing the life history of Obama and how through deceit and schemes, he attained his political position.
I suggest, before you consider voting for this socialist wanna-be, you really look at his past. Then you will agree, if you are intelligent, “anybody but Obama”.
It scares me that I almost voted for Obama.

Dear Susan,
Did you know that McCain and watergate crook G. Gordon Libby were connected? David Letterman embarressed the stuffing out of McCain last week with this fact. Enough on this Ayers topic already. Speaking of embarressment, Palin acted like a fool on SNL this week, dancing to a rap making fun of her. At least Jimmy Carter is a Nobel peace prize winner. Susan, maybe you should open your eyes.

The Jew media won’t tell you the truth about Obama. But just look at Zimbabwe and the Congo.

“For one this distribution nonsense the tax increase is 3% and only on net profit over 200 thousand. As for the hate well that just shows ”
Over 110k a year and you’ll get a tax increase.

Irishrose…the pride of Irish people across the USA.
NO MICKS NEED APPLY!

I’m thankful I don’t live in one of those battle ground states. I’m sorry but I’m so tired of politics at this moment lets vote. This time lets try to learn from the mistakes of the previous president. I say this time we learn from our mistakes and clean up a broken system. But McCain used to talk about taking on the lobbyists but haven’t heard that one out of his camp anymore. Thats because thats the only large money he’s got coming in.
GO Obama!

Also, after watching Bill O’Reilly the other night, I decided to call homeland security on my neighbor. I get alot of good ideas like this from FOX News, which totally fair and balanced and not at all crazy. I can’t believe that I almost voted for Obama, when I’ve actually been a Republican kook for years. Thanks for setting me straight on what I beleive in again, Fox News!

Please America! Do not subject us to anymore of these clowns (Palin/Bush/McCain/Cheney)
We really can’t take it anymore and too many Canadian troops are dying over seas because of their dumb policies and beliefs.
Vote Obama !
please!!!!!!!

This is just what Palin has done in Alaska too. She plays both sides of the street and avoids making a decision. That way she cannot be blamed. If the Republicans lose she will be talking to the press within two weeks blaming McCain for the failure. That is her M.O. here in Alaska. Slick Sarah. Send her back to us in Juneau.

“This is just what Palin has done in Alaska too. She plays both sides of the street and avoids making a decision.”
That’s too easy.

Susan, You are just jealous because you wish you had that money. Its not Obama’s personal money. It was donated by people like me who are forward thinking. How do you think McCain is going to work together with anybody after all this negativity? You didn’t read what the conservative columnists are saying about how McCain’s mortgage rescue plan? They feel his plan is against the good old fashioned conservative idea of individual responsibility. I think people like Susan barely pay attention to anything other than banter, and then talk about subjects as if they are experts. Obama’s will cut taxes for under $250K of income. READ MY LIPS: under $250K!.

When O B A M A loses. Ten predictable liberal reactions – 10) Alex Baldwin says he’s leaving the country but never delivers. 9) Madonna gets more creepy looking while b, c and d list actresses like Cybill Sheppard figure attacking Sarah Palin will get them work in Hollywood. 8) Bill and Hillary Clinton make love like they were in college again. 7) Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and comrades in the US media blame racism in America. 6) Chris Matthews, of course, blames racism and fires off 349 questions in five seconds to some conservative guest. 5) MSNBC’s Keith Overdork has a head popping hissy fit blaming voter suppression by evil Republicans. 4) HBO’s Bill Maher continues to shout down one conservative with the help of three liberal panelists and 100 audience members. 3) ABC’s The View (see # 4) 2.Oprah blames racism and decides to officially run – for the bathroom. 1) after making love all night long, Hillary and Bill suddenly consider a future problem – Sarah Palin.
-

“Obama’s will cut taxes for under $250K of income. READ MY LIPS: under $250K!.”
Wrongo! Over 110k and you get to enjoy a Barry redistribtion tax.

“On October, 15,2008, Michelle Obama spent $447.39 on room service (for 2). . . .”
You need to take a peek at Cindy McCain’s expense account. You won’t be complaining about Michelle’s spending habits after that.

“Seems like you left Colin Powell out.”
Nope……..seems Powell finally escaped the insane asylum and came to his senses.
He’s a good man and couldn’t go along with another four years of those idiots.
Now, if he could convince Condi to make a prison break also, things will be great!

“He’s a good man and couldn’t go along with another four years of those idiots.”
He is a willing liar that talked up the war.

To commenter CHILDREN USED IN PROPAGANDA MACHINE
What? Do you realize how crazy you sound?

Don’t worry citizens Obama will take care of our economy, based on his fire blaze spending of Campaign funds 605million and top on that with 150million more. We will just auction off America to the highest bidder in fact let’s put her up on Ebay. REFORM from Obama my butt. He doesn’t know reform if it hit him in the head. How the heck is this man capable of running this country on an out of control campaign budget. It’s down right shameful, we have homeless folks, starving people and people losing their houses, jobs, but OBAMA has Purchased his way straight into the White House? Where is the democracy in that??? People are sleepy fools, and it’s going to be a Cold slap of reality to this Country as it gets even more powerful with Democrats and no one to counter the balance, Bush is in office now with a majority of Democrats since 2006. Now top that with a shy of a billion dollars spent by Obama to become President. Democracy? US? nope! Wake Up folks!

—————
Cindy McCAIN spent $7000 on what looked like a yellow raincoat for the Republican National Convention. $7000 and she looked like hell.

What goes around comes around…
John McCain screws over & divorces his first wife Carol.
John McCain marries a trophy wife whom he abandons emotionally.
John McCain chooses an unknown named Sarah Palin for his VP choice.
KARMA!

I think all of you Democrats are in for a rude awakening if/when Obama becomes president. Democrats control congress… what have they done to bring about change? What voters fail to see is it will always be the good ol boy network. Vote other than Democrat or Republican… send a clear message that we will not tolerate current governments lack f action and wasteful spending.

Ok, get this clear, Socialims is not Communism. Communism has a dictatorship involved and is an economic system. Russia, China, Cuba, N. Vietnam, N.Korea are all examples of Communist countries, though by true definition they are not.
England, France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands – are all examples of democracies with Socialist economies (are people being jailed without due process or sent to concentration camps there – NO). So please understand the difference and that pretty much all our NATO allies are socialists

Palin is already getting ready for the 2012 race. Watch your back, Romney.

************************************
At the September Republican National Convention:
CINDY MCCAIN wears:
Oscar de la Renta dress: $3,000
Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch: $4,500
Three-carat diamond earrings: $280,000
Four-strand pearl necklace: $11,000–$25,000
Shoes, designer unknown: $600
TOTAL: Between $299,100 and $313,100
Now what about that $450 meal for two???

“He is a willing liar that talked up the war.”
And McCain/Palin still are…..and with more targets….
your point?
At least Powell bailed out and came to his senses ….
We in Canada like the guy…..and we endorse Obama…..you betcha dog-gone it!
eh!

Today I voted for Obama and mailed my ballot. As the ad says, “Just do it!” It feels so good!

Julie.
Obama is spending 2.9 million dollars a day on ADS
Spread the wealth

It sure would be wonderful if all the hate mongers would crawl back under there rocks and someone would come forward with something intelligent to say. Reading all the ugliness gets old and accomplishes nothing.

I was wondering if McCain/Palin have.Now i m wondering some of their supporters in this forum have brains.
After all the mess made by McCain and his Palin. It’s a shame and sad that the race is getting tight. In any other much civilised country the race would be over.
Republicans failed in the last 2 mandates and McCain differs from Bush on the vocabulary only. But every thing else is the. How can he be trusted? McCain is showing poor leadership. He is being nervous, erratic inconsiderate, exclusive. Not talking as a leader. With his stupid new slogans (the plumber and socialism), is saying that Obama is supported by his “European Leaders socialist friends” when America want to re-establish its (tarnished) credit in the world, including European countries. Choosing a divisive vice presidential who looks more comedian than vice-presidential candidate and Lacking knowledge and respect is proof of McCain poor judgement. Any way, Obama will win this election as I predicted his victory in the primaries

Palin is the one going around saying things contrary to McCain. Yesterday it was that she was opposed to the robocalls (although she released one with her voice), and today she went on the record saying that she agrees that there should be a constitutional amendment to ban same sex marriages even though that position is counter to McCain’s. Now, it seems to me that Palin is trying to position herself for the future and is trying to make a play for the far right of the party. She is undercutting McCain’s message and that may be in retaliation to almost every major newspaper in the paper citing her as a significant weakness in a McCain presidency or it might have something to do with McCain going on Fox News yesterday and saying her selection was purely a cold, political decision. He essentially admitted it had nothing to do with her qualifications or the good of the country. It was just a political move. His first major decision and he admits it had nothing to do with governing, but everything to do with politics. Sad.

The drum will start beating for a Palin ticket in 2012. She’ll probably resign as Governor, to start raising money, as soon as the Troopergate investigation is completely over. John McCain will be in the rear view mirror on November 5, 2008.

I see Obama is raking in the big bucks for campaign financing – over $600 million.
Why would anyone want a president who must so clearly be in the pocket of special interests?
You can’t collect over $600 million and not owe people favours. For us living in South Africa, America is now continuously doing a great job of making their elections look so 3rd world that it justifies the trash our leaders dish up.
There will be corruption trouble from this one – whether before or after the election, but mark my words there will be trouble.
There is a very good reason public financing was introduced into the electoral process. When you discard well worn systemic traditions you are heading for trouble. Just think of the dotcom bust when company earnings were throught to be old fashioned OR the still painful housing bust when mortgage checks were disregarded.
Trouble is on its way!

One parents take on this.
I do not expect this about political stories in English. That is Marxist/Communist propaganda tactics 101.
We might as well be living in China or Venezuela.
The other issue is the connection to Bill Ayers again. Mr. Bill Ayers is supposedly on the Board of the Organization that oversees textbooks in that area. Is this literature or indoctrination to the far left.

Somebody claimed Obama is also running robocalls… I don’t know if he is or isn’t or what they might say if they do exist, as I’ve only got negative robocalls by republicans making sure to say “Barack Hussein Obama”, and mention Ayers.
This subtle bigotry towards Muslims is no better than if they attacked Obama for being black. Actually, it is worse, because they don’t even think there is anything wrong with doing this kind of smear, and they are trying to decieve people into believing something that isn’t true by using a inconsequential fact.
You’d think McCain wouldn’t stoop to this.

Ok, let’s look at how the cult of Obama is permeating every facet of our society. We currently have, or have had:
The Obama Presidential Coin
The Obama Presidential Seal
The Coronation of Obama at the Barackopolis
The Obama Brand of Heroin
The Obama Youth Vanguard singing songs of praise in his honor.
The Obama Youth Brigade goosestepping in homage to him.
The Obama Channel on Dish Network.
And now, we have textbooks for 8th graders which have 15 pages devoted to Barack Obama.

BREAKING NEWS FROM CANADA!!
Just in….
Joe Canuck officially endorses soon to be President, Obama.
Vote Soon And Vote Often!!
Just vote Obama!….eh!

Why is it if you use his official middle name you are a bigot or racist, if he does not like it let him change it.
Get real people.

Go to FOX home page and see the real Obama
Obama, who has consistently downplayed his relationship with domestic terrorist William Ayers, gave a glowing endorsement of his book in the Dec. 21, 1997 Chicago Tribune.
Go see for yourself

Dear ABC…can you please create a separate blog about all these horrible and totally newsworthy (not to mention hilarious) acts of CAMPAIGN SIGN VIOLENCE, and let John be in charge of it? That way the rest of us wouldn’t have to listen to him whine about it here.

Colin Powell sold out to the race card. MCCain got his son an appointment. He did not pay back the favor, the Republicans will now bring him down with any and all dirt they can.

“I seen Hanity’s America part I and Part II…I changed my mind after seeing [it]… It scares me that I almost voted for Obama.”
Are you that silly that you would actually watch a “news” bio on Fox–by HANNITY, of all people–on Barack Obama and let it influence your vote!? You’re just the kind that Hannity was trying to reach.

I thought since ABC and Barack Osama are such good friends I would put this link in that Fox has. Check it out

This is to Julie, two things,
1. I come from Kenya and Obama has nothing to do with Odinga! You can try dig out anything but it will be a waste of time
2. Zimbabwe and Congo belongs to BLACKS. Whites wrongfully colonized us and I am not condoning any wrongs done by Zimbabwe or whoever but African leadership truthfully belongs to Africa and I would suggest you leave that out of this issue.

We need a new name of demons to fear that relates to present politics, instead of socialism. Try Robber Barons. That works.
Vote Obama/Biden

Okay you Demnocrats. You wine and call foul about anything said about Obama by the McCain supporters.
Also how many of you own one of those Sleaze t-shirts about Palin.
Talk about slime balls.

These Attacks must be having some effect otherwise why would Obama deviate from his caring for Americans “real problems” to make personal attacks.

Mooselini Palin’s a Racist IDIOT and a Traitor along with her husband who was a member of the AIP.. What LOSERS
“I’m an Alaskan, not an American. I’ve got no use for America or her damned institutions.”
Joe Vogler – AIP founder’s quote

Obama needs to pit McCain against the Bible. McCain continues to label Obama as being a liberal as though “liberal” is a bad word. In II Corinthians 9:9-10 we find that God hath given to the poor and ministered unto us by giving us food. In II Corinthians 9:13 the author tells us that if we are to in subjection to the gospel of Christ that we should be “liberal” in our distribution unto others. Moreover, in Proverbs 11:25-26 we find: “The liberal man will be prosperous, and he who waters himself will himself be watered. He who withholds grain, the people will curse him.” In conclusion, in Isaiah 32:7-8 we find: “The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even the needy speaketh right. But the liberal deviseth liberal things and by liberal things shall he stand.” Many Bible scholars translate the word “liberal” in those last verses as “noble.” Thanks John McCain, you have caused this evangelical Christian to see what God has to say about being a liberal and you have been man enough to admit Obama is indeed a liberal.

Just google Obama and Odinga.

Right wing capitalists: send some money to the Republican National Committee and quit crying over the money Obama is raising. You can donate $2300 today. On line. Do it. OR shut up.

This comment supersedes all previous comments.

LOL,
Susan links to a story from the outfit that just humiliated right wingers last week with a fake Michelle Obama interview.
God right wingers are gullible.

Dear Tiered of Republican Whiners,
You just don’t get it. How sad.
HERE IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OBAMA AND MCCAIN.
“Capitalism and communism stand at opposite poles. Their essential difference is this: The communist, seeing the rich man and his fine home, says: ‘No man should have so much.’ The capitalist, seeing the same thing, says: ‘All men should have so much.’”

McCain supporters – it’s not too late to donate money to his campaign to pay for 527 ads. You might get someone to build an ad campaign around some of the wing-nut conspiracy theories that sprout up out of the mushroom dust in this blog. Cousin from Kenya? That would be funny. Maybe Fred Thompson will do the voice over.

“Communism is a society where each one works according to his abilities and gets according to his needs” – Obama’s world

Will be glad when we Rid the Whitehouse of the Right Wing Nutjobs who’ve screwed this great Nation.. Get the slime ball IDIOTS outta there.. “YEAH”

“Joe the Plumber killed the Obama campaign.” What a laugh! Legally, Joe is not even a plumber but he seems to be working illegally! Joe asked a question as though he could afford to buy a small business worth $250,000.00. Why did he ask that? So Joe could deceitfull act as if he will be on of the 5% of Americans whose taxes will increase. Heck, if you own more land, property and other assets, your taxes should be higher. After all, the military budget is very high and it’s our military that protects our assets. The more valuable your home is the more you pay for homeowner’s insurance. Tell me Mr. McCain, what’s the difference when it comes to paying taxes to support out military that protects our privately held property? This is distribution of wealth, it is making wealthier citizens pay a fair share of the taxes.

The reason Obama’s radical associations matter is not that it makes him a terrorist (although Powell must think that this is what it means), it shows just what kind of liberal he really is. It might be not worthy to note if there were just one, but there are a whole bunch of them: Wright, Ayers, Rezko, Odinga, Frank, and so on. Normally I wouldn’t care, but if someone wants to be president, at least we should be allowed to have an open discussion about these “associations”. Every time anyone of them has first come up, Obama downplays his “association” or plays ignorant about them (how could he not know so much about these people). That alone should concern people.

Wing nuts – there are some very hilarious lies floating around your internet, posing as rumors. Someone will probably make a documentary when the election is over. It won’t be on Fox News, though, so you might miss it.

Is there anything at all that you Republican’s aren’t afraid of? Scare tactic here, scare tactic there, and you just fall right in and let it devour you. I guess it must come from an inability to think and reason for yourselves that you need hero’s like Limbaugh and Hannity to do your thinking for you. What shallow little lives you lead!!!

Prespective said..”I think the democrats are much more tolerant, compassionate, spiritual and intelligent than the fear mongering religious fanatics from the Republican right.”
Tolerant, compassionate..for who? They are only tolerant of people who have the same views as they do. Speaking of “View” have you seen how they attack Elisabeth Hasselback, have you seen how these tolerant, compassionate Democrats have booed and forced speakers off the stage of liberal universities, because they dare to have a different view? These speakers are INVITED by the school, and then don’t even get a chance to speak. Why? Because the tolerant, compassionate Democrats don’t like what they’re going to say. Give me a break!
Obama is a socialist who will ruin this country. He’s smooth and a good talker, but doesn’t really say anything, he’s an empty suit.

I just did a poll using the comments on this site.
I’m not voting. Will qualify next year.
The results so far:
Positive Comment for candidate:
McCain – 32%
Obama – 60%
Neutral – 8%
Negative Comments against canditate:
McCain – 73%
Obama – 20%
Neutral – 7%
Hmmm!

Mr Odinga told the BBC’s The World Today that Senator Obama’s father was his maternal uncle.
Mr Obama’s father – a Kenyan also called Barack – met and married his American mother when they were students at the university of Hawaii.

I may as well leave this blog. There are no McCain/Pain (i meant Palin) fans who can withstand my onslaught of facts – both Bible facts and living-in-this-world facts.

“The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.” – Joseph Stalin
Obama= ACORN = VOTER FRAUD

It’s simple people:
Fix the system before taxing to raise more money for it! It’s more than a bit discouraging to watch people in my inner-city grocery store use food stamps to buy their groceries – and then pull out a wad of bills to buy cigarettes! Glad to know that taxpayers have freed up their disposable income… all for the privilege of paying their medical bills for lung cancer years down the road.
Gov’t benefits should equal giving up some rights – like the right to smoke. Or the right to vote. In the business world, we would call it (and be criminalized/prosecuted) conflict of interest – how is it any different to allow a recipient of benefits to vote for those responsible for the programs?!
We all have a responsibility to help others – BUT we also have a bigger responsibility to enforce accountability and eliminate fraud, waste and abusers of the system. And I for one won’t vote for ANYONE who wants to raise taxes until that is done…

Right, ABC News HAS to have a negative article about McCain/Palin everyday! What are they going to do after Nov. 4th? I haven’t seen ANY negative reporting on Obama or Biden! Gosh, is it just me or does it seem they want Obama to win? NAAHHH! ABC News reported that Joe the plumber was actually a plant for the McCain campaign even though Obama was the one who saught out Joe “the plumber” who was outside his house throwing a football with his son and decided to ask a legitimate question that the MSM doesn’t ask. Of course, the MSM ISN’T going to question Obama’s answer of spreading the wealth, NOOOO. They want to find out who this guy is! They aren’t going to have an average guy (a plumber,no less) make him look bad! I mean, why would ANY American want to succeed during an Obama presidency? He wants to punish success! Then we have Sen. Joe(gaffe)Biden, who actually said that Barack wasn’t qualified to be President then said that Hillary should have been chosen and NOW, today, says that Barack will be tested within his first 6 months of taking office! And the party faithfull may NOT be happy with his decisions! AAhhhhh! Say it aint so JOE!I’m sure the campaign is taking out their eyeballs right now! I mean, why would ABC investigate the Chicago Anneberg Challenge that it’s board members (Ayers and Obama)funded the SSAVC, an afrocentric educational program in Chicago. Remember Wright’s speech last spring about the left brain and the right brain people? Well, Wright just HAPPENS to believe in the Kemetic views from founder Jacob Carruthers. Funny that Rev. Wright has had Carruthers speak at his church on many occassions. In 1995, after coming onto the CAC Board, Barack Obama said publicly “the unrealistic politics of intergrationist assimilation.” Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn just HAPPEN to be releasing a new book in 2009 called “Race Course Against White Supremacy” published by Third World Press, which is set up by Carruthers. So, it IS a bit odd for a Board member to NOT KNOW where such funds from the Anneberg Challenge go to. Especially since Obama said that Wright was a close person, almost like an uncle would NOT know this ideology from him. THAT is the triangle between Ayers/Obama/Wright. It wasn’t that Ayers bombed 17 times when Barack was 8, it was his actions that have since occured! Oh, the WEB WE WEAVE!

There is no reason to assume that McCain is going to die in the next 4 years. Most presidents live to be well into their 80′s and McCain has pretty good genes. Palin has more executive experience than any other candidate. While you may disagree with her on a lot of issues, you can’t seriously belittle that.

Obama + Pelosi + Reid = NO CHECK AND BALANCES

Isn’t it funny that Your talking about kenya and all the bs when North Vietnam wants Mccain to win here’s a quote from his jailer “I would like to say that if John McCain is elected president I hope he will further improve the relationship between Vietnam and the United States,” said Mr Duyet.
“And as a friend I want to wish him good health and good luck in the presidential election,” he added.
Then he blurted out “My friend!” in English, the language he says Mr McCain helped teach him, which he has almost totally forgotten.

I think that it is important for a candidate to be able to objectivvely and articulately project his or her opinion. I dont think either McCain or Palin can do this without serious help.
Point A.
When a person becomes president of the United States they automatically take a position in the world that all other countries look to for help and leadership. So technically we neerd a person that can convince, objectively their opinion in a way that wont start a war or major conflict. Do you think they want to see another old, typical guy. with old typical ideas. Palin would be only seen as a Bed Warmer in most of the countries that we deal with everyday.You cant tell me she ddint get it on with Achdinamajad. You saw the press conference. Do you want to vote for a shady, crazy rich, disrespectful, and crazy man. Whats wrong with something new. Why cant America Be inspired by this occurence. This is history.
Obama

Palin will probably write a book about her experience in the McCain campaign. You’ll find that in the comedy section at Barnes and Noble. It will, however, turn her into a gazillionaire. Then she’ll move to D.C. and start her 2012 campaign. Romney .. you are toast.

Two more weeks, then McLame can go back to being a “maverick” senator, the un-loyal opposition. Sarah can go back to Alaska and make more babies. I can’t wait!!! Enough of the robocalls Mr. McCain, you can’t change my vote!!!

Obama is probably the most liberal person who has ever run for President. I just wish he would quit pretending that he isn’t. At least then we could have an honest debate.
If I were locked up as a pow for 5 years, I try to make as many friends with my jailers as possible too!! I think there is some honor code amongst most military men, even if they are on opposite sides.

I can’t wait for my handout. Why continue to work hard to make a decent living. That’s the direction we are going.

“Palin has more executive experience than any other candidate. While you may disagree with her on a lot of issues, you can’t seriously belittle that.”
Palin’s experience has been belittled by none other than Karl Rove.
With all due respect again to Governor Kaine, he’s been a governor for three years, he’s been able but undistinguished. I don’t think people could really name a big, important thing that he’s done. He was mayor of the 105th largest city in America. And again, with all due respect to Richmond, Virginia, it’s smaller than Chula Vista, California; Aurora, Colorado; Mesa or Gilbert, Arizona; north Las Vegas or Henderson, Nevada. It’s not a big town. So if he were to pick Governor Kaine, it would be an intensely political choice where he said, `You know what? I’m really not, first and foremost, concerned with, is this person capable of being president of the United States?

Obama says he had no relationship with Ayers, yet he gave a glowing review to Ayers’ book in 1997, a book in which he is mentioned.
Obama is a liar of the first order, and his supporters — sheeple, really — refuse to question him. ABC certainly refuses.

Susan: “Obama is probably the most liberal person who has ever run for President.” Thank you for you vote of confidence in Obama. In II Corinthians 9:9-10 we find that God hath given to the poor and ministered unto us by giving us food. In II Corinthians 9:13 the author tells us that if we are to be in subjection to the gospel of Christ that we should be “liberal” in our distribution unto others. Moreover, in Proverbs 11:25-26 we find: “The liberal man will be prosperous, and he who waters himself will himself be watered. He who withholds grain, the people will curse him.” In conclusion, in Isaiah 32:7-8 we find: “The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even the needy speaketh right. But the liberal deviseth liberal things and by liberal things shall he stand.” Many Bible scholars translate the word “liberal” in those last verses as “noble.” Thanks John McCain, you have caused this evangelical Christian to see what God has to say about being a liberal and you have been man enough to admit Obama is indeed a liberal.

I ONCE GAVE A REVIEW ON A BOOK BY WILLIAM SHAKSPEARE – I GUESS THAT MEANS ME AND HIM ARE BEST PALS.
RIGHT WING, UNEDUCATED …

Powell’s endorsement of obama is really flimmsey – He’s Transformational, He’s crosses linee ; ethnic, racial, intergenerational. How laim. When powell was named Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, it was because he was QUALIFIED, not because of his obama reasons. What is his real notive?
He admitts obama’s resume is “Thin” , but thats OK, he will put people around him who know. Obama is not runing for VP, his running for President. So are we to ascertain from this, that if a President is not allowed to finish his/her term, that qualified americans would not come the aid of the VP?
Obama clearly and without exception elected to associate him self with the likes of ayers. How can anyone confuse facts and reality with, Oh it’s a smear. This is not about politics, it’s about “Polsi & I know what’s best for you, and try to stop us”.

I’m puzzled. Under our current federal tax rules, doesn’t the tax rate increase as you make more money? Why is that suddenly now called socialism? The politics of fear.

Ms. Elizabeth…
You are wonderful!

“..But some political scientists and economists said the old labels and buzzwords might no longer pack the same punch. Gerald P. O’Driscoll Jr., a scholar at the Cato Institute, a libertarian research group, noted that the government had just intervened in the financial markets in ways not seen since the 1930s. Darrell M. West, the director of governance studies at the Brookings Institution, a public policy research group, said, “The biggest socialist right now is George W. Bush.”

Colin Powell lied to us about the Iraq war and he is lying to us now.
DEAR MR. POWELL, DON’T JUDGE A MAN BY THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN BUT BY CONTENT OF HIS CHARACTER, EVEN IF YOU ARE TRYING TO GET INTO OBAMA’s ADMINISTRATION.
SHAME ON YOU mr. Powell
VOTE FOR MCCAIN/PALIN ’08

The McCain/Palin ticket is a Vile, Divisive Ticket.. If they Win, We ALL Lose!
No damn McCain or Palin

I pledge allegiance to the Flag~of the United States of America,~and to the Republic for which it stands:~one Nation indivisible,~With Liberty and Justice for all~~ lefty liberal excluded….

Paying your share of taxes is not redistribution of wealth. Just as the pseudo-pro-life movement is often anti-life-of-the-mother, Republicans want to call requiring wealthy people to pay their share of taxes a redistribution of wealth. People with common sense and who are not greedy know that if you own more land, property and other assets, your taxes should be higher. After all, the military budget is very high and it’s our military that protects our assets. The more valuable your home is the more you pay for homeowner’s insurance. Tell me Mr. McCain, what’s the difference when it comes to paying taxes to support out military that protects our privately held property?

McCain (Dumb) & Palin (Dumber)
Nothing of Substance ever comes from their mouth.. What Losers and Liars.

Come on George…you can’t be serious. You know damned well if you wanted a serious battle of words and wit you would not be seeking it from McCain/Palin supporters.

Hypocrite to the extreme. “It’s getting so bad that even Sen. McCain’s running mate denounced his tactics last night,” Obama said to a crowd at Steinbrenner Field. “And you know, you really have to work hard to violate Governor Palin’s standards on negative campaigning. You gotta work hard.”

I’m Kenyan.
Most of us democratic Kenyan’s love Raila Odinga.
He has continuously fought for our democratic rights and was even detained by the Former totalitarian government of Daniel Arap Moi.
He is the main reason Kenya is a democratic country.
The current president tried to steal the election as witnessed by Koffi Annan.
Annan, Coni Rice, the United Nations and the whole of Europe forced the current president to share power with Raila Odinga because they all knew he had stolen the election.
We Kenyans fought each other becasue our vote was not respected!

Hokie Freak – Heck man, with you on here I am not needed. Your last post gave me my laugh of the day.

Ed from MA – Joe has been a plumber for 15 years and in Ohio, you don’t need a license but you can work for a licensed plumber. And why are YOU so hateful to a guy who asked Obama a question? Is it Obama’s answer that scares you the most and DON’T want to admit it? “Time to be patriotic” – Joe Biden. “Spread the wealth” – Barack Obama. Karl Marx would be proud!

Palin is anti-US, but pro-american…huh? “Palin was a member of the Alaskan Independence party (AIP) before becoming an elected Republican official, according to party members, and recorded a video message for the AIP convention this year. The AIP’s chief goal is securing Alaska a vote on seceding from the US, a goal that party leaders believe the state was denied before it became part of the US almost 50 years ago.”

Mark isn’t that what the Republicans do. Give out Capital Gains tax cuts to the rich and then give out $600 Walmart vouchers(they call stimulus checks)to everyone else? Vote Obama-Biden 2008.

If you truly know or understand how the government works and how the economy works, you will vote for McCain this year for two simple reasons: higher taxes during a recession will stifle the economy; promises of handouts (healthcare, extended benefits, etc) at a time of economic recession end up making the economy worse. The second reasons is the rubber stamp that congress will have with a democrat in the whitehouse; the democratic bills coming out of congress (and republican, really, but that won’t matter with a democratic majority) have been attrocious spending bills, and many of the democratic congressional leaders (Barney Frank, most notably) contributed directly to the recession through their policies. Disclaimer: I’m not 100% behind McCain, not by any means; the tax policy in general is worrisome because of the general socialistic nature of them: you have more, you pay more than your fair share. The “wealthy” (as if $250k a year is wealthy!) don’t pay enough? How do you know? Articles on this website that talks of 500 people who cheated the system? It isn’t the wealthy that are causing a tax problem, it’s those that aren’t paying taxes at all and receiving the most government benefits – illegal immigrants. In this case, as long as there is a democratic majority in congress, I’d prefer “more of the same,” as by the time McCain decides not to run again in 2012, the economy should have righted itself, Iraq will continue to be a non-issue (I’m sorry dems, it doesn’t matter that we shouldn’t be there, it matters that we are there and we finish the job correctly). Checks and balances…checks and balances. Oh, and Obama supporters? Why don’t you attack McCain’s policies instead of his age, his running mate, and random americans who enter the spotlight? Hypocrites.

The intellectual and intelligent people will vote for Obama/Biden. The ones with LOW IQ’s will vote for McShame/McLipstik.

While dictator Omar Khadafi criticized Obama for supporting Israel, Khadafi went on to say that Obama is one of us and we continue to support him as he will bring change to the Middle East. So we see folks like Williams Ayers, Louis Farakhan, Michael Moore, Tony Rezko and Omar Khadafi supporting Mr. Obama. Who else is endorsing Mr. Obama that represents the radical & extreme left?

Lefty Liberals will do anything to win the Presidential race. Your outlandish tactics are unacceptable. Cheat to win. Lie to win. Steal to win. Hurt your own kind to win. Who cares? You are the liberal left and you do not care who you hurt as long as your agenda is applied. I say NO. Not acceptable.

This is going to be long…so bear with it. I need to get it off my chest. I find it interesting that while this article is about how bad the McCain/Palin campaign is at “misleading TV ads” and “careless outrageous comments” and how Gov. Palin is denouncing this approach, it is the Democrats and their mouthpieces, the Media, that are doing all of the slandering and dirt digging, especially on items that are of no consequence to this election, which is what makes this a dirty campaign. I speak of the claptrap the Media and internet bloggers are trying to perpetrate on the American public with regards to Gov. Palin and her family, Cindy McCain, Joe the Plumber or anyone else with whom they have a problem. Joe the Plumber just ask a question…it was Sen. Obama’s answer that was the problem, but the Media had to discredit Joe instead of investigating such a Marxist comment about sharing the wealth. Speaking of the Media…I know the Constitution guarantees the right of a free press, but it does not guarantee the Media the right to make, falsely report, bias report or in any way skew the news. Too bad there are no truly impartial and honorable journalist/reporters any more. However, I digress.
Gov. Palin is correct in stating that Sen. Obama’s entire campaign is based on Socialist ideals…the government will take care of all ones’ needs, or that old Marxist(Communist) creed of spreading the wealth around, whether is has been earned or not. What rubbish. In case people have forgotten, this Country was founded on the principle of a Representative Government with democratic elections, not a democracy…one applies to all citizens, the other is another form of mob rule. Yes, I know that the laws have not been applied equally or fairly and that should be changed. However, the heart will first have to be changed and you can not do that through legislation and you surely won’t change it by calling the people racist, backwoodsy or denigrating their beliefs. No race has a monopoly on prejudice, unfortunately.
The only real changes that appears to be coming down the pike if Sen. Obama becomes President?..The reinstating of the Fairness Doctrine which in essence is a way to stifle free speech, which, in case you don’t know, is guaranteed by the Constitution…you know..the Supreme Law of this Country. Which brings up another point, since when do we base our laws or judicial reviews on the views and laws of other countries or what the people of those countries like or do not like. That was another reason this Country was founded…to be an independent country. Then there like Louis Farakan and others like him who has throughout his entire life taught hatred of Americans. Jew and whites in particular…I do find it ironic that Sen. Obama has listened to the same type rhetoric for 20 years at his own Church from his own Pastor and never condemned any of the statements as being non-Christian. This lack of condemnation is especially sad from a man who has sworn to represent ALL the people in his State. That reminds me of something else…MOST of the people I have heard make any references to race or racist views comes from the Media and or the Democrats. I would suggest that everyone look up DEMOCRATS AND RACIAL POLITICS: FROM JIM CROW TO BARACK OBAMA written by Frances Rice, and HONORING 150 YEARS OF REPUBLICAN CIVIL RIGHTS ACHIEVEMENTS which was a speech by Rep. Christopher Cox. When I hear about Civil Rights and the Democrats, I only have to think of Sen. Byrd and his KKK affiliations and it turns my stomach. And yes, one’s associations are important, because they show where one’s loyalties are. When you point a finger, you have at least three pointing back at yourself. Don’t even bring up the Keating 5 mess, it was resolved years ago, when Sen. McCain was a junior Senator and he was found guilty of only showing bad judgment, along with Sen. John Glenn, a Democrat who was also a “member of the Keating 5″. Sen. McCain’s association with Keating ended years ago…Sen. Obama does not have the luxury of saying the same since he has never severed any of his associations…well maybe Rezko because he is probably headed to jail. I have also found Sen. Obama to be one of the most secretive presidential candidates to come on the scene… why no answers to questions about his years in college…there seems to be a big gap there or why does he have such a hard time answering direct questions? Why does he not talk about his lack of experience…he has only been in Congress a couple of years, and only in the state Senate a few years before that…Why do people assume he is qualified to be President since he has had no executive experience at all…Yes, I know he has a law degree…big deal. He has no economic experience, no military experience(or National Guard) he has never signed a major contract, or dealt with other countries or worked on foreign policy. And do not compare him to Gov. Palin…SHE IS NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, he is.
Now, do I think John McCain is the best candidate for the Republican party to have nominated…no, but he is better qualified, and has a lot more experience than Sen. Obama. Neither of their economic plans are good, but at least Sen. McCain knows that at least 45 percent of the people in this country do not pay taxes and therefore should not be receiving any “tax credits”, “tax refunds”, or whatever term you want to use. Go back and check out John Kennedy’s ecomonic plans, along with Ronald Reagan’s and you will find some really sensible approaches. Don’t try to change a system overnight that took years of mismanagement to screw up and I mean by both sides of the aisle. And just to make another point…Sen. McCain did try sometime during 2004 or 2005 to have tighter regulations put on at least two of these institutions… Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae…the Democrats would not allow that proposal to come out of Committee. To verify, just do some internet searching. It’s all available to read. And by the way, it’s not just Republicans that have investments in Wall Street, the Democrats have a large portion of wealthy members, too. And it is the Democrats who have received a disproportionate amount of money from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae for whatever reason. Again, check out the internet for the information. As far as what Sen. Biden says and does, he’s probably a nice man, but that doesn’t mean anything. He doesn’t seem capable of keeping his feet out of his mouth…what a help he will be in setting foreign policy…I don’t care what committees he has been on or is on now.

WHO IS THIS ‘JOHN’ ……150 KIKUYUS WERE BURNED IN A CHURCH BY LUOS WHO ARE ALSO CHRISTIAN……JOHN PLEASE BE A LITTLE INTELLIGENT. YOU ARE LOWERING THE STANDARDS OF THIS DEBATE

I pledge allegiance to the Flag~of the United States of America,~and to the Republic for which it stands:~one Nation indivisible,~With Liberty and Justice for all~~ lefty liberal excluded….

MsRotten- Well from all indications most of the ones who are voting for Obama have not even spent the time to read anything about his policies, if they had they would not be voting for him unless they are looking for a Cuba type goverment which is his plan. You got the Ayers issue which is a lot more than what he admits to and of course the media will do no investigation into this. Next you got the ACRON issue which is not as big but big. Then the really really big one is Wright, this is a racists and no one can get around that, 20years setting in that church listen to this and we believe him. GMAB.

Independent minded has it right. There is no way that anyone’s taxes should be raised in these troubling, uncertain economic times. Obama cannot do anything he is promising because we simply do not have the money (except to use it to get him elected?). If he tries to do anything (which he probably will with the democrats controlling both the Senate and House), the deficit will grow incredibly. Putting a freeze on government spending to try and get a grip on the outrageous size government is becoming is a good plan of action. In addition, Obama has not the record nor the judgment to show that he knows how to deal with any of the economic or national security issues. It’s one thing to use the words, but it would be nice to have a record or action to back it up. Obama is way too liberal. Combine that with his arrogance and naivette and who knows what will happen.

SS this john comes on here alll the time a spews this BS when you see john as the poster just know its a lie or as they say consider the source he is on here all the time I think he’s paid.

Just wait untill the Messiah has to step out from behind the teleprompter and actually has to deal with situations as they unfold without a script. Another one hit wonder in the making, just like Jimmy Carter. I’ll bet Carter will be happy though, finally there will be a president more incompetent than he was.

SS – maybe you should work a little harder in life

for everyone who is so worried all of a sudden about socialism….
John McCain participates in American socialism by getting medi-care/medi-cade benefits.. most of your relatives over a certain age are socialist as they they get ‘social security’ as well as the medical ‘socialistic’ programs…….. this has been going on since the late 1930′s I believe….
the discussion be Repubs about this is so lame that it establishes a new level of ‘lameness’

THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY APPENDICECTOMIES I CAN DO IN A DAY MATE

justrighttoo: Joe (actually Sam) the (unlicensed) Plumber (helper) doesn’t actually have money to buy a business.
JOE THE PLUMBER = SAM THE LIAR
NEXT GIMMICK.

PALIN is the worst kind of liar. She is pathological and serial.
The reason she is now denouncing the robocalls is because she is trying to salvage her own political career.
Amazing as it might seem, she is seen as a rising star in the Republican Party by the right wing ideologues.
If she can not be taken destroyed too seriously by this run she can run for President herself in four years.
In some respects a win for her this year would be a loss for her in the long run, because regardless of who wins this election the next four years is going to be a real struggle.

John you must not say that. There is a double standard that we must live by you know.

Will McCain Do Anything To Win? …. Washington Post, October 11, 2008:
“In fact, after McCain lost the Republican nomination to George Bush in 2000, he declared that there was a “special place in hell” for the Bush operatives who had run a smear campaign against him. By adopting the same approach against Obama, McCain diminishes his reputation and raises questions about his commitment to fairness and decency.”

I thought I would pass along a little information about GOP voter fraud that has been taking place during this 2008 election, a case which has resulted in people have actually being arrested.
BELOW is the story of GOP voter fraud as reported in the Los Angeles Times Online (dated OCT 19, 2008)
* GOP voter registration fraud case leads to arrest
Mark Jacoby, who was arrested in Ontario and owns a firm hired by the California Republican Party, violated state registration laws, authorities say.
The owner of a firm that the California Republican Party hired to register tens of thousands of voters this year was arrested in Ontario late last night on suspicion of voter registration fraud.
State and local investigators allege that Mark Jacoby fraudulently registered himself to vote at a childhood California address where he no longer lives so he would appear to meet the legal requirement that signature gatherers be eligible to vote in California.
Jacoby’s arrest by state investigators and the Ontario Police Department comes after dozens of voters said they were duped into registering as Republicans by his firm, Young Political Majors, or YPM. The voters said YPM tricked them by saying they were signing a petition to toughen penalties against child molesters. The firm was paid $7 to $12 for every Californian it registered as a member of the GOP.
Several agencies had launched investigations into Jacoby’s activities, including the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office, which issued the warrant for his arrest earlier this month on felony charges of voter registration fraud and perjury.
Efforts to reach Jacoby were unsuccessful.

Yeah John and when Michael Dukakis ran greek americans supported him the same way andany presidential vote over the yrs has been the same the ethnic group of the candidate supported them overwhelmingly.

Sara Palin = SOCIALIST
“Didn’t she redistribute the wealth in Alaska? You know, take the oil profits, impose a tax and kick it back to Alaskans?
Sarah Palin is the governor of a state that practices collective ownership of oil and other natural resources, and equally distributes the state’s cut of the revenues to every citizen.”
you betcha………. gosh darn it

Doreen..I dont know if you are just screaming to be heard or you are stupid. But another republican said he actually feared that there were thousands and thousands of Donald Ducks and he saw them at Disney World! I assured my republican friend that there is indeed no real person named Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse and if they, or a million others or Babe Ruth shows up to vote, they’ll need ID. So how does a million fake registrations that require voter ID at the polls turn into one vote??? It doesnt. Would you like to talk about the GOP voter suppression in all the swing states? It’s in the Wall Street Journal and the American Conservative, both far right leaners. You republics are either very stupid or this is all ya got to keep yourselves stoked for the long road down to the bottom of the well. The gop is dead after this election. A 90% white electorate with an IQ below average will not work for you again.

FULL CREDIT TO THE GOP. THIS ‘JOHN’ COMMENT PROVIDING PROGRAMME ON THIS WEBSITE IS RELENTLESS. HOW MANY HALIBURTON DEALS OR OIL WELLS SUNK IN IRAQ ARE PAYING FOR IT.

Senator Obama, Saddam Hussein repeatedly violated 16 United Nations Security Council resolutions, yet you still believe it was a mistake to send troops to Iraq and remove him from power. How many resolutions must a dictator ignore before action should be taken?

Bill Clinton said he would not raise taxes and he did. Get ready – Pelosi, Reed and Obama will raise yours too and it won’t be just the people making over $250,000.

Sarah Palins reported income is 1.5 million. Why would she try to portray herself as the girl-next-door?

“Even if you limit those increases to the wealthiest Americans, how do you avoid the job losses that would necessarily result from such an increase?”
Raising taxes equaling job losses is a right wing wives tale. Embraced by trickle down economists.
Small business creates the most jobs in this country and for the most part taxes on small business will go down.
“If, for example, a millionaire pays your higher taxes by foregoing the construction of a larger home or a new boat, what do you say to the middle-class carpenter or boat-builder who lost his job because of your tax increase?”
Awww poor millionaire can’t get a new boat.
Meanwhile millions of middle class Americans will have more money to spend though not likely to the boat builder.

Of course, don’t get me wrong, I’m all for socialism. I’ve worked long enough, I’m ready to kick back and let everyone else support me. I’m all for every entitlement this guy can come up with. All of you 20, 30, 40 something, get to work and support me, I’m headed to permanent vacation.

Senator Obama, there are plans to introduce legislation which would allow unions to use public sign-up cards for organizing elections, in place of secret ballots. Will you veto such legislation to protect the American tradition of secret ballots, or do you owe the unions your signature on that bill in exchange for their financial support during your campaign?

John:
“How many resolutions must a dictator ignore before action should be taken?”
Why don’t you ask Bush?

SS did you know that China our biggest competion for oil out there was just alllowed to by this admin to sign a big contract with Iraq toi develope oil fiels there that WILL produce more oil then all the drill baby drilling they can do here and sooner the longest it will be is 3 yrs to have it leaving port in tankers and guess who will guard the chinese workers there and the pipeline and the tankers in the prots and the straights ? AMERICANS and we won’t see a drop of oil or get any of the revenue like Bush and Mccain promised so we shed more blood of Americans and CHINA gets the oil thats what Mccains supports

Senator Obama, you’ve said that America does not allocate enough money for the health care of illegal immigrants. Why should we allow anything for the health care of illegal immigrants? Doesn’t providing people with additional free benefits simply encourage more of them to come here, at the expense of hard-working, tax-paying Americans?

Senator Obama, why did you vote against declaring English the official language of America? It was only a symbolic measure, yet you still voted against it. Why? Shouldn’t immigrants learn English?

Senator Obama, you say you’re not seeking to establish a single-payer, universal health care plan for the United States, yet you repeatedly proposed a state constitutional amendment in Illinois mandating universal health care. Which should we trust, what you have already tried to do or what you say you won’t do?

Senator Obama, we all realize you have given speeches that impressed many Americans. Can you, however, cite any significant accomplishments in your life that involved doing, rather than simply saying?

Hardworking American citizens WITHOUT adequate insurance are the majority of Hospital ER visits. Check your sources.

Senator Obama, why have you relayed the story that your father was a simple goat-herder when he was, in fact, a privileged, well-educated person who attended Harvard and worked for the government of Kenya?

Senator Obama, why did you support Raila Odinga when he ran for President in Kenya and tried to get Sharia Muslim law established there? Granted, some say he is your cousin, but assuming you believe in democracy over Sharia law, and Christianity over Islam, couldn’t you have been a non-committed bystander in that election? After he lost the election and his followers burned women, and children alive in a Christian church where they sought refuge, why did you think it was a good idea for him to visit you on one of your fund-raising tours in 2007?

I’m puzzled. Under our current federal tax rules, doesn’t the tax rate increase as you make more money? Why is that suddenly now called socialism? The politics of fear.

My wife and I make over $300,000 and under Obama we will pay an extra 3% on the portion over $250,000. Who cares? We are taxed far greater than that by the poor BUSH economy that McCAIN wants to continue. We pay more for just about every commodity, our real estate value has plummeted, and our 401K has dropped $250,000.
McCAIN is the one trying to force four more years of a broken economic policy down our throats.

“palin is not a member of the AIG, her husband was………………
hello John, being married
to a former cessationist is okay and Very Patriotic,
Yet Obama sitting on a Board with a former (reformed) terrorist to see how ‘EDUCATION’ could be improved in their community is seen as Un American.
I dont understand you guys

The Messiah has said he will unify the country. Judging from these blogs, he’s done a bang-up job so far. If he is half as good at being president, we will be in civil war by the next election.

Senator Obama, yours was the only vote against Illinois Senate Bill 485, which would have made felons convicted of sexual abuse crimes serve their full sentences without getting credit for time served in the county jail. What was it that influenced your vote, but which had no effect on any other Senator of either party?

So what if McCain’s combined income was $4 million. Should the success that was built over generations just be taken away?

SS – Palin probably wanted to have the individuals pay for their own rape kits when they have insurance because so many insurance companies were trying to get out of paying for the service and then the local governments would have to pay the cost (and knowing what hospitals charge I’m sure they are fairly pricey). However, if the individual doesn’t have insurance, then probably the hospitals or medical pay for it. I truly doubt that it meant that Palin doesn’t believe that rapes exist and fairly certain that it was more of a technicality as to which entity would be paying the bill. You might want to look further into this before you get too far in it.

Sarah Palin was aware that sexual assault victims were being billed for forensic testing. However, recently released budget documents show that Sarah Palin directly shifted the cost of the rape kits from the police department to the victims in her budget for fiscal year 2000. If what a former city council member told CNN is true, that “Palin would review each department’s budget line by line,” then she either knew about the funding shift and approved it or was negligent in her role as state executive.

Obama has raised more in a year to run for President than the McCains are worth after 50 years. I can’t believe how much the McCains are worth has anyting to do with anything. How much is Nancy Pelosi worth? How about Diane Feinstein? And so on.

Nahhhh, John just learned from the libs. If you aren’t getting your way, yell and interupt. If that isn’t working, yell and interupt louder. Get used to it libs, we have been taking lessons for the last 8 years. What goes around comes around.

She used the system, she hired lobbyists with connections to the powerful members of Congress from her state, and she was able to obtain a lot of money,” said TK Alexander of the non-profit tax watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense.

The irony of Obama’s behavior is that Governor Palin has more experience than Obama. Moreover, as Joe Biden and Hillary said, Obama is not ready to be President. Moreover, Biden even said that the would be honored to be on the same ticket with McCain. Moreover, the pro-Obama media keeps smearing Governor Palin on a daily basis in an attempt to hide the fact that Obama has less experience than her. Obama has only been in the US Senate 3 years and he has spent most of that time running for President or voting “present.” Finally, just today Biden said that Obama may be tested in his first year as President and Biden wasn’t sure if Obama could handle it properly.

When Russian bombers approach American airspace and U.S. Air Force fighters are scrambled, Sarah Palin’s phone doesn’t ring.
The Alaska governor has no command authority over the guardians of U.S. airspace despite her recent suggestion otherwise.
“She doesn’t have any role in that process,” Air Force Maj. Allen Herritage, spokesman for the Alaska North American Aerospace Defense Command,

HOW HAVE YOU LEANRNT FROM THE LIBERALS IN THE LAST 8 YEARS WHEN DUMB DUMB ( WHO IS YOUR NECONCERVATIVE GOLDEN BOY) HAS BEEN RUNNING THE SHOW IN SUCH A REMARKABLE WAY?

Blue – I agree that we shouldn’t have gone to war. My point, and resulting anger, is that only one candidate won the nomination by using this as his platform and then turned around and chose a running mate who voted the same as Hillary and McCain. Where’s the principle in that? My point is that I am not comfortable with Obama because I think he uses a lot of words which aren’t backed up by his actions. To pretend that he doesn’t know what all these people are about is just another instance where the rhetoric can’t possibly match his actions.

McCain Said: ” I voted with George Bush over %90 of the time, expect more of the same. “

Biden nor Clinton voted to go to war. What they voted for was to give the president the authority to wage war if necassary. They thought that BUSH would exhaust all other avenues before waging war, but they did not want to tie the presidents hands. Turns out that was bad judgement.
McCAIN on the other hand was a cheerleader for the war and was at BUSH’s side when he authorized war. And to this day McCAIN still believes it was the right thing to do.
Biden has said signing the authorization was a mistake.

Good luck making up in the stock market when Obama increases capital gains.

Actually, it’s even worse than that. What McCAIN said is “I think you will find that on every major issue, I mean on those votes that meant the most, I sided with the President 90% of the time.
McCAIN supported 4 out of 5 of Bush’s budgets. The same budgets that have gotten us in the mess we’re in today.

“Good luck making up in the stock market when Obama increases capital gains.”
Good luck believing a 5% tax is going to stop people from investing.

Senator Obama, many of your fellow Democrats, including Senator Clinton, sided with the President in sending troops to Iraq to get rid of Saddam Hussein. In hindsight, it’s easy to now say that you were against the war and would have voted against its authorization. But because you were not yet in the U. S. Senate, those Senators had access to classified information to which you were not privy. Are you more intelligent than all those Senators who authorized the war? Or are you simply opposed to war at all costs, even when dictators repeatedly defy 16 United Nations resolutions?

Schieffer…Who cares what he says. Turned out to be so diasappointing to me in debate. I thought he would be fair and was going to make candidates answer all questions. Yet we never heard Obamas answer as to why he changed his campaign funding promise to McCain. And I thought Schieffer was so much more of an ethical news man. Guess not, just one more liberal and biased media man.

Wake up! I’m following the lead of the richest man in America, Warren Buffet, who is pooring millions into the stock market.
I can’t exactly afford millions, but I am pooring over $1000 a month in.
Oh, and for all of you worried about the rich payingh more taxes, Warren would probably say “don’t worry about me, I’m supporting Obama”.

Why should he even raise capital gains?

Indevoter: Actually Powell really was the cheerleader for the war as was the media. Hmm – all supporters of Obama. I don’t remember hearing any more from McCain than a lot of other Senators. So it’s okay for Obama to pick a running mate who doesn’t have the judgment to be president because he later said it was a mistake. Oh, I get it.

The point is that you said you thought that the war was a mistake as do most American’s, McCAIN still hasn’t come to that conclusion. When I say McCAIN was a cheerleader, he was literally at the Presidents side when BUSH signed the declaration.
McCAIN has been at BUSH’s side for nearly every major decision the President has made.
When Katrina hit the President jumped onto Air Force One and rushed as fast as he could…Where was he going? McCAIN’s birthday party in Arizona (I believe it was his 68th)
McCAIN is BUSH.

Republican spin spin spin as they run scared they will try anything. These people will fault anyone else as if they have such clean hands. Remember the last 8 years under Republican rule, how many of you are better off today then you were 8 1/2 years ago?

Last 8 years not under republican rule, last 2 where under Demnocratic rule.
President only signs what COngress gives him.
That is The house and senate, who has been controlled by the Demnocrats the last 2 years.
The congress also controls the fiscal budget IE purse strings.
hell even Bill Clinton said his party was lax on oversight on fannie and freddie. Plus CLinton signed the deregulation bill not Bush.
There is enough blame to go around on both sides.
But I will give McCain credit for trying to stop it.

Oh, grow up Obama…are you a second grader trying to be POTUS? Shows how illiterate you are and unqualified for the position!!

I thought going to war was a big mistake. However, now that we’re there and it appears that we are making success, I’d rather leave as victors than in defeat. I blame Bush, Cheney, Rice, Powell and the media for convincing America to go to war. I do not hold McCain personally accountable for this mistake, no more than I blame Hillary or Biden. I also believe that if Obama had been in the Senate at the time, he would have voted the same was as the majority. Obama has not shown the courage of his convictions.

elizabeth – why don’t you share your own personal little secret?
I don’t suppose it’s one of those 200 military leaders who have come out in support of McCain. I once knew a high-ranking officer who said he’d much rather go to a fight with General Arnold Schwarzkopf than General Powell as Powell was more of an administrative general than a strategist (he said a lot more but that I’ll keep to myself). That’s my secret. I also think the media is making a lot more of this endorsement than it is worth.

“However, now that we’re there and it appears that we are making success, I’d rather leave as victors than in defeat.”
We lied about our reasons for going there and killed tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis.
There is no victory.

‘The huge problem on Election Day–for the GOP–is that the nation isn’t inclined to vote for Republicans. To counter that, the GOP has decided to make huge problems on Election Day for voters, especially voters in traditionally Democratic areas.
And that’s how the GOP suppression gambit works: by screwing everything up.’

You are exactly right. In fact in the average polling, when Barr and Nader are added McCAIN is down by 9.5% and in the last few polls down by double digits. Conservatives who can’t bring themselves to vote for McCAIN are choosing Barr.
If I were a conservative I would take Barr and his running mate over a McCAIN/PALIN ticket any day of the week.

elizabeth My husband works at a Naval base and they’re voting for McCain. Actually he seems pretty confident McCain is going to win. The military knows who supports them and that is McCain.

How bad do you have to be to get PALIN to denounce your tactics? Pretty bad. Better question, how bad do you have to be to pick PALIN in the first place?

vetsforObama,
Those figures are from mid Aug.
I posted updated figures.

Ryan C Not according to the the boots on the ground where my husband works. Sorry, but these are the guys he knows and associates with, not the brass. And he has told me who they have shown their support for. McCain because they know he supports them. Don’t know why your statistics are off. May-be its not all about the money.

“Obama didn’t raise all his money just from Americans. (People from all around the world can give money.)
Foreigners cannot donate to elections.
People who are citizens living aboard or military personnel stationed abroad can donate though.
For example:
The report also shows that Mr. Obama also is ahead of Mr. McCain in military donors with overseas addresses, both those working for the Department of Defense as well as members of the uniformed services. A total of $74,650 came in for Mr. Obama from those posted overseas to $16,600 for Mr. McCain.

1st: I don’t believe that 40% of the people ACORN registered were Republicans. 2nd: I am not at all certain that because Obama is “peace-loving” he will not have to make a decision to go to war. If we are attacked as we were on 9/11, you don’t think Obama will go after the people who do that? If he is a pacifist, Americans need to know that. He does take an oath of office you know. He already said he’d go into Pakistan without their permission if he felt it necessary.

Ryan C Statistics can be off beacuse there are probably alot of military who have not given any money thus you don’t have all the facts. I am sure there are plenty of military who have chosen not to donate money, but will show there support in the voting booth. The good old fashioned way before it became money is what wins elections. Never more so then this one. So hold onto your scientific statistics. We shall see November 4th. But believe my husband is quite often wrong and he only works at one base so you may be safe yet. Don’t hyperventilate over it.

RyanC – Form over substance. Too bad that seems to be your game. Explains a lot about Obama’s supporters.

Where’s your OUTRAGE, Susan, over McCain being a keynote speaker at ACORN in 2006?
Where’s your OUTRAGE, Susan, at Sarah Palin’s husband’s membership in the Alaska Independence Party and her support of same?
Where’s your OUTRAGE, Susan, at McCain’s pallin’ around with convicted domestic terrorist G. Gorden Liddy?
Where’s the OUTRAGE, Susan?
Let’s hear all about it.

GOOGLE: The Title Of The Article: “MAKE BELIEVE MAVERICK: A CLOSER LOOK AT THE LIFE AND CAREER OF JOHN McCAIN REVEALS A DISTURBING RECORD OF RECKLESSNESS, AND DISHONESTY”

I don’t think the McCAIN smears are any more relevant than the Obama smears. I was just trying to make a point that these smears cut both ways.
Obama has stayed above the fray.

Good Night everyone, May the Best Man Win. And if not and we vote the wrong politician in. Just remember we really are basically on our own and responsible for ourselves. And it is only we ourselves who can better our lives. At least that’s what I was brought up on before politicians took so much control of our lives and so many learned to rely on them. I still believe life is what you make of it. Not what a political party makes of it.Ryan C stay cool, your guy may win. Then lets see what happens.

To “Ayers was just someone who lives down the street” Obama, is that why you gave a glowing endorsement of his book back in 1997?

Actually Ayers was the best man at Barack and Michelle’s wedding, he is the godfather of his two daughters and they play poker together every Friday night. Make you feel any better.
McCAIN was a close personnal friend of G. Gordon Liddy of Water Gate fame. Liddy made statements about shooting Americans, but you know what? I think Liddy is no more relevant than Ayers.

Probably because it was a good book, written by Professor Ayers, the winner of the Mayor Daley citizen of the year award.
I’ve seen books with dozens of endorsements from all around the country. In most cases the person doing the endorsement doesn’t even know the author.
In any case, this story is about 9 months old. I can see that you get your news from FOX News, who just recycled this to their front page.
Trash journalism at it’s finest. Might as well get your news from the National Enquirer.

does it seem to anyone else that palin is trying to out mavrick the mavrick.
I think she is setting herself up for 2012.
mccain campaign was all but dead until she came along.
i’ll bet tonight mccain is regretting having selected her for more reasons than one.

Sarah is right on. Both candidates are always slamming each other and it does get very old! What I find truly American and ironic is that we all sit around and say how much we hate this type of politics but it is really the only thing that works – trust me they wouldn’t do it if it didn’t work. Turn the ads off, change the channel, don’t talk about them. Paris Hilton is so famous because we’re all shallow enough to pick up the magizine of which she graces the covers. I say anyone who denies this is not being totally honest – much like our candidates. Like every political election it is “the lesser of 2 evils”, so to speak, and while we have a difficult decision to make the choice is really quite clear. Obama is not ready. Everyone says that Palin could not be our president but I lie awake at night and worry what will become of our great nation if Obama is in charge…shutter the thought!

Now Cindy Sheehan is claiming her campaign against Nancy Pelosi was Sabotaged. HA! The Democrats are doing it to the Democrats. Is nothing sacred with those people. (Tongue in cheek)

Was this supposed to somehow pass for journalism? John McCain has now proven himself to be a coward hiding behind women while they do HIS dirty work.The time has come to ask Sarah Palin about her connection to the anti-American group, AIP. How is it McCain supporters seem to think its OK to be married to a former member of secessionist group like Palin is, and that this is somehow American? Not to mention the fact that she provided the opening remarks for this same group in 2008 “The AIP was founded by Joe Vogler who said that he had no use for American and her damned institutions and advocated all manner of violence .Tod Palin joined the party in 1995,( 2 years after the founders death) and remained a member until 2002. Sarah Palin has either attended or given addresses to their conventions in 1994, 2000, 2006 and 2008, giving them encouragement and God’s blessings. Wanting the State to leave the union sounds like treason to me, so why doesn’t the gop bring this up? Now I ask you do you still think this former beauty queen was the most qualified member of the republican party?, and do you honestly believe that McCain has this Countries best interest at heart when he made this nomination? Alaska has a population of less than 700,000 people (less than any major US city) how does having the support of such a tiny populace make her the most popular gov? Palin has not met with Russian leaders or delegations, negotiated any Russian issues or visited the country ;however, she believes she is experienced because she can see the country from her back yard? I have Google earth does this make me qualified too?
John McCain has proven that he only cares about winning this election (regardless of the consequences) and our future would be in the hands of a woman who is frankly an insult to strong female leaders the world over (if his 72 year old heart gives out) I myself am a decorated white male Vietnam war veteran, and have always voted for the Republican ticket ;however, I am disgusted by what I have seen this election. For the sake of our country (and its reputation) please get beyond this racial division created by the gop ticket and vote for senator Obama,

Obama started this by questioning McCain’s honor as soon as McCain passed him in the polls. In fact, Obama got down and dirty during the primary by calling Bill Clinton a racist. This is the tone Obama has started, so I say let it all hang out.

Yes, let’s let it all hang out. Did anyone really expect any less from a flip-flopping McCain who sides with whoever has the momentum at the time and a no-name small town, small-minded mayor who administrated in a place that doesn’t even have a fire department or school district? I’m relatively certain my 8-year-old daughter could manage that gig with equitable effectiveness.
