Palin Challenges Obama’s “Rhetorical Flourishes” Defense of Biden

THE GREATEST ATTACK ON OBAMA IS COMING AND WILL COME FROM BIDEN
THE GUY IS A MOOSEHEAD.
WITH $700 MILLION AND ALL, THE TWO DEMO CLOWNS ARE BOUND TO BLOW THIS ELECTION.
ANYWAYS, AMERICANS DO NOT WANT OBAMA COMMUNISM.
WE WANT A WAR HERO, NOT A ZERO
I AM VOTING MCCAIN FOR THE SANITY OF THIS NATION
THIS IS NO TIME TO WADE INTO THE UNKNOWN, CALLED SOCIALIMS OR SPREAD ANY WEALTH..

HERE IS WHAT AMERICANS WILL BE FACING IF BARACK OBAMA IS ELECTED – THE DARK AGES FOR AMERICA HAVE ALREADY STARTED!
PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Thursday, October 23, 2008:
“A knife-wielding man robbed a McCain-Palin campaign volunteer and etched a “B” into her face after he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the woman’s car, Pittsburgh police said.
Ashley Todd, 20, of College Station, Texas, was using an ATM at Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street in Bloomfield just before 9 p.m. Wednesday when a man approached her, put a knife to her throat and demanded $60, police said.
Todd handed the man $60 she had in her pocket and stepped away from him, investigators said. The man then noticed the bumper sticker on the woman’s car, which was parked in front of the ATM. The man became very angry, made comments to Todd about John McCain and punched her in the back of the head, knocking her to the ground, police said.
“He continued to kick and punch her repeatedly and said he would teach her a lesson for supporting John McCain,” said police Chief Nate Harper.”
Is this criminal a member Barack Obama’s “Truth Squad”?

Obama handled it with a calmness and smoothness that it should have been handled with – not hysterics like Palin would. I mean if she were in the WH and some major issue happened with another country she would need a valium in order to deal with it. Obama shows you that he is ready to be POTUS by not over-reacting to some minor (or major) issue by running screaming through the hallways

Bush didn’t retaliate against those who attacked the US on Sept. 11, 2001.
Instead, he used it as a reason to attack Iraq. Stupid.
OBAMA would do better if faced with a crisis. God forbid he has to.

The fact is Sarah Palin is unqualified and should not be talking about experience. I hope I never have to see her again after the election.

I’m surprised Sarah Palin knows what a “rhetorical flourish” is! Instead of scouring the media every day for something she can attack, she should pay more attention to her Troopergate deposition and the releasing of her health records as she promised to do. But I guess the polls dictate the tactics and if you’re behind you head for the kitchen sink!
Of course presidents are tested when they first come into office, but we don’t need a president who sings “bomb, bomb Iran”, (as McCain did) when he gets tested.

One_American – what happened was due to some drug seeking scum – not from anyone in the Obama campaign – for you to say so shows your true ignorance and the fact your afraid that black people will become something they are not. You must be a) white and b) a closet racist.
And TJ, THE CLINTONITE – you live in a republic – it has been since the begining. If you don’t believe me – just read the back of any one of your monetary bills in your pocket. Our society has already become socialistic due to our bailing out of Wall Street, so don’t be blaming Obama for what has already happened.
ANd for your information – I – a disabled veteran do not want a war hero (war monger)for POTUS – he doesn’t deserve it just because he was a POW. And he sure doesn’t have the capability to stay cool under pressure – we have seen that already in the many times he has been under pressure while campaigning.

Biden has foot in mouth disease. he is not the best choice for VP as he will really insult some foreign country or leader one day and make matters worse.

McCain = DISHONORABLE; Palin = SCARY!!!

McCain = DISHONORABLE; Palin = SCARY!!!

I voted for OBAMA/BIDEN today.
Felt good : )

Like her or not, the FACT is Sarah Palin has MORE EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE than OBAMA who has NONE!
The democrat’s choosing a community organizer as their partys nominee shows how out of touch they are with reality.
Major American Company’s are preparing for the chance Obama is elected by laying off employees right and left.
Thats Obamas trickle down tax “spreading the wealth” cut working for you.

You know what would be fresh, Palin addressing ANY of her own problems and indiscretions.
Like:
trooper gate
illegal e-mails
misappropriating state funds
the $150,000 shopping spree

Lol – a social embarassment. Yeah Palin knows a little something about that. Man she is treading on such thin water here. She is lucky the Dems have not killed her ass already. Luckily their lead is enough so they don’t have to. She should count her lucky stars she has not been turned away from the country.

I look forward to Sarah Palin going back to obscurity from where she came from.
She’s too inept even for a PTA vice president.

Obama is a fraud. “Righteous wind” and “rhetorical flourish” and “I need to visit my poor sick grandma”?! LOL And his followers say: Awwww, what a class act. He’s a politician folks! LOL LOL

“THIS IS NO TIME TO WADE INTO THE UNKNOWN, CALLED SOCIALIMS OR SPREAD ANY WEALTH..”
(Thanks for once again proving that Republicans are idiots)
SOCIALIM, very good, is that a socialist muslim?

All she does is attack..This girl is so dumb it is pathetic to know she could be running for VP..This goes to show how old and tired McCain is..I cannot wait to see the landslide. We need a new direction with a VISIONARY—OBAMA’08..WE LOVE HIM

Did any of you neo-cons think that the rebate you got this year was “welfare” or “socialism”, then why on earth would you call Obama wanting to give people making less than $250,000 a year a tax cut as socialism? You people must be nuts.

McCains pick of a lightweight like Palin is one of the single best reasons that his judgement can not be trusted.

McCain is NOT a war hero. He was a POW and is a veteran but hes no hero. The heroes were on the ground facing enemy threats everyday. He collaborated with the enemy while a POW and actually was given comfort instead of torture. Hes friendly with the captors even today, that should say something. His fellow inmates called him ‘songbird’ because he gave information to the enemy. I am a vietnam vet who actually fought on the ground, and I dont consider myself a hero.

JR: Because he wants to raise the taxes of people making $250,000 or over and give the money to people like you. The tax money shouldn’t be given to people I don’t care if they are on SSI or Social Security. I agree with Joe the Plumber in what he said. Further more, Obama doesn’t have to raise any taxes. His mathematics is poor. A person making $250,000 is paying more taxes than a person making $50,000 to begin with so why raise taxes. When he said he wants to spread the wealth, he should take a million of his own money and spread it.

SemperFi: Are you upset because you didn’t get the attention that John McCain got. Did you get injured. Were you in a POW camp for almost six years. I seen a picture of his plane being shot down under enemy fire. He didn’t know if he was going to live or die. Wasn’t he dropping bombs on the enemy when he was shot down. He wasn’t flying for fun. He made more than one flight in that plane.

I colin powell going to get us in another war??????
I love Sarah Palin and I love John McCain, best available.

Mariann Pepitone-
We shall see madam – we shall see….I think he has more class and guts than any of you putting him down because he knows there is a greater chance that one of you neo-con nutjobs will try to take him out

Obama will spread the wealth if he
gets elected…..White americans beware
of Obama’s statements.He wants to empower the blacks by taxing the rest
of america…..
If the democrats take over the executive
and the congress ,they will have
monopoly in the government..Very
dangerous for our country…one party
to control the power in U.S.

Vote for truth, decency, tradional Americal values. Vote McCain/Palin.
If you vote for Obama you vote for a Socialist.

kottaras: Biden suspects that there will be an attack by Al Qaeda if ObamaOsama is elected president. And I believe he’s getting a little nervous because Obama who does’t know what time of day it is will not, repeat, will not know which way to turn. If he turns the wrong way he will be killed, if he turns the right way, the enemy will subdue him and it will be good by Obama, nice seeing you, have to good journey. Don’t call us we’ll call you.

JR: Because he wants to raise the taxes of people making $250,000 or over and give the money to people like you. The tax money shouldn’t be given to people I don’t care if they are on SSI or Social Security. I agree with Joe the Plumber in what he said. Further more, Obama doesn’t have to raise any taxes.

Ok we get you’re against Obama and his policies. Now explain in the same fashion why McCain TAXES health care benefits and Bush/McCain policies are better since we have and are currently experiencing the utter failure of those policies?

How can someone who claims to be such a Christian be so willing to distort the truth? Time and time again Ms Palin dishes out propoganda to suit the needs of her party, instead of putting country first.

jozy: He doesn’t have to worry about us he has to worry about himself getting shot by some crazed gunman who don’t like him. He will need a bullet proof vest and 10 security guards around him every time he gets out of the limo. And you know why.

She called Obama wealth spreader, does that make McCain the poverty spreader? Just like George Bush?

this is just more of the schoolyard third grade crap—-where are the real issues–what are some of the details—this is the worst performance by the republicans in my memory—mccain must be senile.

Sarah Sarah Sarah, you’re so hilarious. Have fun at the deposition tomorrow. And keep promoting that working-class image with your $150K wardrobe.
I guess the Right won’t be able to talk about $400 haircuts anymore.
Obama will be tested–and he will make wise, thoughtful decisions. Your guy made the decision to put the country in your unqualified, shallow hands. That’s the kind of judgement we don’t need, Ms Palin.

mccain seems a little out of touch and palin is still trying to get vp job description straight—–the repub party is ready to throw him under the bus

You are an idiot with sh!t for brains. I do not consider you a hero either. You fought for this country to have the right of freedom of speech,(until Obama enacts the Fairness Doctrine), so you can support whatever candidate you want. But to besmirch a fellow soldier for surviving captivity by our enemies for 5 1/2 yrs is beyond reprehensible.
If you look at McCain’s before and after pictures, it is obvious he was not there on holiday. His fellow captors also tell the same story of torture.

mccain sealed his future when he pocked his SOUL MATE PALIN–hope the 150 grand is not a bribe for something else–what else could she possibly offer.

BREAKING NEWS.
=============
If Obama gets elected the white house
will change its name to “black house”

Have some fun with this:-) Pass it on.

Conoco, which is a partner in a Darwin LNG project and ALASKA LNG plant, entered the spot trading business this year to bid for LNG cargoes and resell them, Schuppert said.
You Betcha Palin Is A Tough Governor and a great executive:
Alaska could revoke leases for oil fields like Prudhoe Bay if top energy companies refuse to participate in a government natural gas pipeline plan, Gov Sarah Palin told Reuters in an interview.
Exxon Mobil Corp, BP Plc and ConocoPhillips together control more than 35 trillion cubic feet of known gas reserves on the Alaska North Slope.
But the companies declined to participate in a process backed by Palin to jump-start a long-delayed gas pipeline, arguing they needed a long-term tax deal from the state first.
Palin called the refusal “unconstitutional.”
“When the conditions of these leases are not met, especially after decades, it is time to open them up and allow other companies to come in here and compete for the right to tap the resources,” the Republican governor told Reuters this week in an interview.
The companies have said they are interested in developing the reserves, with ConocoPhillips studying a separate plan.
Sarah Palin more than talks about the future, she pushes to get it.
Japan, Buyers Face LNG Shortage After 2012, ConocoPhillips Says
By Dinakar Sethuraman
Oct. 23 (Bloomberg) — Japan, South Korea and Spain, the world’s three biggest buyers of liquefied natural gas, may find it difficult to secure supplies of the fuel between 2012 and 2015, pushing prices higher.
There may be a shortage of the cleaner-burning fuel after 2012 because of a lack of new projects, Gerard Schuppert, manager for global LNG marketing at ConocoPhillips, told reporters at the LNG Supplies for Asian Markets conference in Singapore.
“Only one project was sanctioned this year at Arzew in Algeria,” Andy Flower, a consultant and a former employee at BP Plc’s LNG business, said at the conference yesterday. “It takes about four years now to build a new train.” Three projects were approved in 2006 and 2007.
The decline in new project approvals, and the current financial crisis that’s reduced lending to projects, may slow growth in LNG supplies to between 4 percent and 5 percent annually in 2013 to 2020, Flower said. That’s down from growth of as much as 9 percent in 2007 to 2012. Output may grow 4.5 percent to about 177 million metric tons this year, he said.
Conoco, which is a partner in a Darwin LNG project and Alaska LNG plant, entered the spot trading business this year to bid for LNG cargoes and resell them, Schuppert said.
Only six of the world’s 17 LNG-producing countries showed an increase in exports of the fuel in the first nine months of this year, Flower said.
Send Sarah Palin to Washington, D.C. Obama will never equal Sarah Palin ‘s qualification for an executive position. Obama is all empty talk and empty promises. Sarah Palin is an action person and she gets results.

The other day she was talking about the “patriotic parts of America” but she failed to answer any question about her husband’s membership of Independent party of Alaska.
She’s fighting for Joe the plumber but tried unsucessfully to fire the Trooper.
$150,000 for clothes while many are loosing their homes.
What a maverick, what a sham.

Whoever is scared of a true self-made American who doesn’t speak in liberal elitist babble like “rhetorical flourishes” is pretty pathetic. Palin is refreshing. Ronald Reagan used to get the same treatment for speaking like a real human being.

I like Sarah Palin’s tax program:
On Aug. 7, 2008, the Alaska Legislature approved a measure she promoted. The administration of Alaska’s governor Sarah Palin now gives $1,200 to every single Alaskan. This comes to about $741-million for state residents. In addition, each resident will receive an annual dividend of $2,000 from an oil-wealth savings account. That comes to about $741-million for state residents
For a family of 7 (Gov. Palin has 7 members in her family) that means an additional $22,400.00 in income sent from the state of Alaska. WOW, who needs a job! Back to the trailer, Billy Bob!
Sarah Palin is more ready for the Washington, D.C. crowd than Obama. Obama has proven he cannot even take care of a simple housing project. How can YOU expect Obama to run the country?
Obama wants to tax the oil companies and waste the collected taxes with federal government spending. The same $500,000,000 spending waste used for his housing projects in Illinois. Where did the tax dollars go?
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/06/27/grim_proving_ground_for_obamas_housing_policy/?page=1
Obama gave the people in Illinois broken down housing and dangerous living conditions. Where did the money go? What pockets were filled with tax payers’ money from Washington, D.C.? We know where Governor Sarah Palin’s tax money is. The tax money is in the pockets of the residents of Alaska. Sarah Palin is a great role model.
Anyone that votes for Obama is corrupt.
Sarah Palin is four times the better candidate when comparing to Obama. Obama who could not even run a housing project in Illinois. Obama has no idea how to run a country when Obama cannot run a housing project program.
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/06/27/grim_proving_ground_for_obamas_housing_policy/?page=1
No to Obama……..BOOOOOO to Obama

are there actually any states where mccain is ahead—a lot of red is turning blue.

Hey ME if any one gets us in another war it will be MCbush he has a score to settle with Vietnam. Marianne Pepitone I can’t afford that kind of money for clothes I buy all mine at goodwill, as for taxes I would gladly pay 125,000 in taxes if I made 250,000 and with 125,000 I would still think i was rich. I have been telling you people for months taxes are going to go up regardless of who gets elected. This guys father promised not to raise taxes and what did he do and what party is he affiliated with ah ah

I am sick of the “more executive experience” comment. Since NONE of the other candidates–including her own running mate–have the kind of “executive experience” that Sarah Palin has, maybe the Republicans should switch the ticket and put her on the top. Please don’t confuse her competitive drive to win with gravitas to lead. I, for one, don’t wish to see another 4 years of “my way or the highway” style of partisan politics. Palin is NOT stupid–she’s ambitious. Add a dash of “go with the gut” and take away intellectual curiosity, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster (pick any of the 4 or 5 Joe Biden referenced)

you cannot make a silk purse out of a sows ear,no matter how you dress her.this is a very self centered selfish person.

Palin LIED.
Joe said that Barack would be tested and found to have a spine of steel. He will exhibit the same calm, intelligent judgment that he showed in the debates against Mccain, who was stalking around like Yosemite Sam.
We don’t want Yosemite Sam and Moosilla in charge of this great country.

mccain brought this upon himself–everyone is tired of the hate campaign—he has not gave any true usable answers to any of the issues facing our nation.this is all about mccain and we mean absolutely nothing more than a vote—however there are more loving people in the usa than the hatefull mccain promotes.

Sarah Palin couldn’t sell her jet on eBay so she takes a loss selling it with an aircraft broker. Then she “borrows” the jet used by law enforcement to travel around Alaska. What’s the difference??? She’s still using taxpayer money to travel around the state–at a loss of revenue to the citizens of Alaska. Not sure that’s sound fiscal policy… must be all that “executive experience” folks keep talkin’ about. Please, people. Quit spewing talking points, and start searching “the internets.”

Racist men, women and male chauvinist FEAR Sarah Palin because they know she can succeed and that frightens men more than Obama’s questionable terrorist friendships. The world is changing and women are equal to men and men cannot take the competition. In all history, men have been the puppets for women.
There is a long list of successful women business leaders and successful women leading their country.
Michelle Bachelet, a moderate socialist who is Chile’s first female president and only the second woman ever elected to lead a South American nation, was sworn in last March. Reformer Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, the first female president on the African continent, now runs Liberia and is helping to put Charles Taylor, the disgraced former president, on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the conflict in Sierra Leone. And Han Myung-sook, a former dissident who was once jailed as a political prisoner, became South Korea’s first female prime minister in April.
Margaret Beckett became the U.K.’s first female foreign minister in May, replacing Jack Straw, who had been Prime Minister Tony Blair’s key spokesman leading up to the war in Iraq. Also in May, Tzipora Livni was appointed as Israel’s second most powerful politician, adding the vice prime ministership title to her foreign ministry post. Dora Bakoyannis is the first women ever appointed to a senior cabinet position in Greece. Nigeria’s Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, after a cabinet reshuffle in June, moved from her post as finance minister to foreign affairs; she is considered a presidential front-runner in the next election. Don’t forget the little giant that runs the Philippines, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo who deals with terrorists on a daily basis.
Women continue to gain ground running foreign affairs. Condoleezza Rice, for example, continued hammering away as the U.S.’s top diplomat, attempting to midwife a cease-fire in the Middle East as well as stitch together an international compromise to get Iran and North Korea back to the nuclear negotiating table.
On Aug. 7, 2008, the Alaska Legislature approved a measure she promoted. The administration of Alaska’s governor Sarah Palin now gives $1,200 to every single Alaskan. This comes to about $741-million for state residents. In addition, each resident will receive an annual dividend of $2,000 from an oil-wealth savings account.

Sarah Palin is more ready for the Washington, D.C. crowd than Obama. Obama has proven he cannot even take care of a simple housing project costing in excess of $500,000,000. How can YOU expect Obama to run the country?

No to Obama……..BOOOOOO to Obama
A total of 30 women in our ranking of the World’s Most Powerful Women also have won top spots in government, up from 24 in last year’s ranking. Three of them were elected to the top job within the last year.
Racist men, women and male chauvinist FEAR Sarah Palin.

Obama is the most deceptive , inexperienced , American hater to ever seek the highest office in the world ! He will lose and riots and cries of racism will fill the air ! The blame will be obvious , the radical left wing media has created a false sense of an Obama victory 3 weeks out . There will be inevitable cries of stolen elections , racism , and riots when he wins the popular vote and loses the election. Thanks CBS , NBC , CNN, MSNBC …..You have done our country a great diservice and Real Americans are on to all of you !

Sarah Palin is so much more intelligent than either Biden or Obama. Biden can not count to 5 and Obama sees dead people in his audience and thinks there are 57 states. Obama refuses to post any school or college grades, papers, etc so maybe being a college grad is a distortion too. The man can not tell the truth. I believe in the McCain/Palin ticket. I love my country and they do too. Obama loves Africa and the Muslims. He stated he would stand up for the Muslims. Remember 9/11.

blackjack has some right
PALIN SURE SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME–CAN YOU IMAGINE HER WITH HER FINGER ON THE NUCLEAR TRIGGER –THAT TRULY IS SOMETHING TO BE SCARED OF
GOODNIGHT

A suit and a tie does not make Barack Obama any better than his teachings with his terrorists friends and corrupt Dumocrat associates.

MARIANN PEPITONE-I see MS bigot is back! I remember a couple of months back you stated NEW MEXICO was voting McSAME instead of OBAMA because of HILLARY. You also stated BILL RICHARDSON career was over. It look like you a loser on all counts.HA HA !!!!!!

I’m a woman, and I’m not voting for Palin. Reproductive organs do not matter when it comes to leadership. Sure, there are great women leaders all OVER the world, and we should have had a female in the oval office long before now. Sarah Palin’s style of leadership is the same as George Bush’s…and that’s not what we need running our country right now. There are plenty of qualified Republican and Democratic women who would be better suited for the presidency. But the key word in the previous post was MODERATE. That is not an adjective used when describing Sarah Palin.
Let’s try diplomacy again. Civil discourse. That’s what BlackJack’s women all have in common. And Sarah Palin doesn’t have either.

He stated he would stand up for the Muslims. Remember 9/11.

For the last time Obama did not say that. Please be more informed before posting that garbarge.

Blackjack–you won’t find it watching Fox News. Like I said, Google “Palin and Jet” and you can read some posts from papers in Alaska. Of course, they’re probably liberal and mainstream, so you won’t believe them…

FACT IS FACT – OBAMA HAS “NO EXPERIENCE” LET ME REPEST THAT — “OBAMA HAS NO EXPERIENCE.”
SARA PALIN HAS MORE EXPERIENCE THAT OBAMA (ALL YOU GRUMBLERS AND ALL YOU OBAMA FANS NEED TO CHECK RECORDS FOR YOURSELF.)
SARA PALIN HAS MORE EXPERIENCE AND SHE IS RUNNING FOR THE VP SLOT – NOT THE PRESIDENT SLOT.
GET A GRIP – OBAMA FANS – BEFORE YOU START SLINGING MUD AT MCCAIN AND PALIN YOU HAD BETTER MAKE SURE YOUR BACK YARD IS CLEAN. AND IT IS NOT.

Sarah Palin knows when and how to press the buttons. Sarah Palin will not sit in a corner trembling and smoking cigarettes. Obama a weak minded person that must use the oral gratification from smoking cigarettes to face the anxiety from stress.
Sarah Palin is a leader into the future of all Americans

Give me the John McCain of 2000: Straight Talk, not double-talk; moderate, not pandering; maverick, not mousey; rebuking the nasty Robo-Calls, not re-cycling the nasty Robo-Calls; honorable, not dishonorable. I voted in the primary for John McCain back in 2000, when he was a true maverick. Loved his passion, his temper, his MODERATE positions. This campaign shows you what happens when you sell your soul to win an election. Sad. Very sad.

Twice last weekend, Biden grimly warned at closed-door meetings that a great crisis is coming early in the term of President Obama:
“Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. … Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said … we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”
A “generated crisis”? By whom? Moscow? Beijing? Tehran?
This is an astonishing statement from the CHAIRMAN of the Foreign Relations Committee who has access to the same intelligence as President Bush. Was Joe warning of a crisis like the Berlin Wall of July 1961, where JFK called for a tripling of the draft and ordered a call-up of reserves, or the missile crisis where U.S. pilots like John McCain were minutes away from bombing nuclear missile sites in Cuba and killing the Russians manning them?
Is Russia about to move on the Crimea? Is Israel about to launch air strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites? What is Joe talking about?
If one assumes Joe is a serious man, we have a right to know.
Instead, what we got was Obama’s airy dismissal of Joe’s words as a “rhetorical flourish” and a media – rather than demanding that Joe hold a press conference – acting as Obama surrogates parroting the talking points that Joe was just saying that new presidents always face tests.
Had John McCain made that hair-raising statement, he would have been accused of fear mongering about a new 9/11. The media would have run with the story rather than have smothered it.
Has anyone ever asked Joe about his own and his party’s role in cutting off aid to South Vietnam, leading to the greatest strategic defeat in U.S. history and the Cambodian HOLOCAUST? Has anyone ever asked Joe about the role he and his party played in working to block Reagan’s deployment of Pershing missiles in Europe, and SDI, which Gorbachev concedes BROKE the Soviets and WON the Cold War?
Is Joe’s record of having been wrong on Vietnam, wrong in the Cold War, and wrong on the Surge, less important than whether Sarah Palin tried to get fired a rogue-cop brother-in-law who Tasered her 10-year-old nephew to “teach him a lesson”?

All you ever want to know about Silly Sarah.

I see you all have not lost your fight :
GOOD! Because we have a lot to do. You! (the American people) are going to have to take back control of your elected government at every level, and set your government back on the right path of service to you, and the greater good of the World.
Barack Obama and the democrats are your best hope of doing that now. Tell your family, friends, and everyone you know to support them as best they can. Because the Bush McCain vote fraud, vote cheating, vote buying, vote manipulation machine is already hard at work to cheat you again. And we all know what a disaster that has been the past 8 years of Bush McCain.
Barack Obama and the democrats will need all the power you can give them at every level of government (Federal, State, County, and local City elected governments). Obama and the democrats will have an enormous mess to fix for the American people, and the rest of the World. A mess caused by the corrupt Bush McCain administration.
You see, starting back in 2000, and before 911, it was mostly the Republican governors, Republican legislatures, and county elected Republican officials that conspired with the corrupt Bush McCain administration to raise college, and university tuitions by the fastest, and highest rate increases in American history. Some state tuitions went up by as much as a WHOPPING! 30% in one year.
The reason the Bush McCain administration did this was to force struggling working class kids into the military to pay for the sudden jump in tuition. Which was forced on them by the corrupt Bush McCain administration, and their corrupt Republican Governors, and republican controlled state legislatures.
See, Bush McCain had plans to get us into all these immoral, foolish, criminal, and unnecessary wars from the start. So they could use these wars to seize power, and later to get reelected. But, for their evil plan to work they needed more volunteer soldiers struggling to pay for an education whose blood they could spill to help them seize more power. Remember Bush McCain’s “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!” theatrics.
The exploitation, and lost lives of these finest Americans is despicable, disgusting, immoral, corrupt and criminal. And it makes me SICK, and ANGRY!
You will have to vote for Obama, and the democrats in overwhelming numbers to overcome the Bush McCain vote fraud machine. Vote early if you can. Then help your fellow Americans cast their votes now, and on through election day. Vote for Obama, and the democrats like your life, and the lives of your loved ones depends on it. Because it does. You will not survive 4 more years of “Let Them Eat Cake” Bush McCain, and their republican allies.
Just look at the mess we have now.
You can fix this mess with your votes for Obama, and the democrats. And REMEMBER, no matter which of us may stumble or fall, the rest of you must continue to surge forward for Barack Obama, and the democrats, and for your-selves most of all. The children, and the World are counting on us.
It’s in your hands now. And I know you will get it done.
God bless all of you.

SARAH PALIN IS THE GOVERNOR OF ALL OF ALASKA. DUMOCRATS LIE AGAIN.
I keep seeing and hearing about Barack Obama’s executive experience as compared to Sarah Palin.
Let us look at the facts:
Barack Obama’s is a senator of the 13th District of Illinois and the district has about 45,500 residents and covers 22 square miles.
Sarah Palin’s is governor of Alaska and Alaska has about 670,000 residents and covers 586,000 square miles.
The proof is in the numbers about who is the better choice and with the most executive experience. Sarah Palin is an action person, gets things done and has more executive experience. Send Sarah Palin to Washington, D.C.

blackjack,
Why don’t you go purge some voters or some other republican dirty tricks, because that will be the only way you people will ever win this election – the same way you won it for Bush in 2000 & 2004!
Take Marianne Pepitone with you! You two should make a good pair!

—————————————-
More lying which is the hallmark of republicans. Here are the facts. As a U.S. Senator from Illinois Obama represents more people than McCain and Palin combined. Read the following and weep.
Projected population of Arizona in 2010 6,637,381
Projected population of Alaska in 2010 694,109
Projected population of Illinois in 2010 12,916,894
I challenge you to argue with a straight face that experience in Wasilla City Hall is more valuable than experience in the Illinois State Capitol.
Let’s add some more details. As a state senator, Barack Obama represented Illinois State Senate District 13. The population of Obama’s former district was 210,496 in 2002. The current population of Wasilla, Alaska is estimated at 9,780. In 2000 the population of Wasilla was even less, just 5,469 according to U.S. census data. But that’s not all: the current population of the entire state of Alaska is estimated at just 683,478. In case you were wondering, the total population of the state of Illinois, which Obama is serving as a U.S. senator, is estimated at 12,852,548. Keep that in mind next time you hear a Republican pundit refer to Sarah Palin as the governor of the largest state in the Union.
Correction: The population of the 13th State Senate District in Illinois, which Obama served as a state senator, was not 653,647 as previously stated. That figure describes the population of the 13th Congressional District of Illinois. According to records of the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), the population of the 13th State Senate District of Illinois was actually 210,496 in 2002. This is about a third of Alaska’s current population. However, it is still more than twenty times greater than Wasilla’s population figure. In addition, the population of the entire state of Illinois (12,852,548) is also about eighteen times larger than the population of Alaska (683,478).

Blackjack: Senator Obama is a senator of the entire state of Illinois.

Attention all Obama supporters:
Go take an enema and get that crap out of you that Obama feeds all his supporters.

Here’s an example of “democratic” financial responsibility, tax policy, and dishonesty:
WHO screwed up Social Security??
When Social Security began the “democrats” SAID:
Participation would be VOLUNTARY.
The contributions would be TAX-DEDUCTIBLE.
The funds wouldn’t be used for anything ELSE, and
interest would ADD to the account.
The payouts would NEVER BE TAXED.
LBJ & demo majorities in the House and Senate put the
funds in the General Fund so they could use it for
their pet projects (PORK), no interest adds to the
fund now!
CARTER & demo majorities in the House and Senate
gave Social Security to immigrants who had never
PAID IN!
CLINTON & demo majorities in the House and Senate
made the CONTRIBUTIONS taxable, AND made the
PAYOUTS taxable! (Al Gore cast the deciding vote on
the payouts!)
OBAMA wants to GIVE Social Security to the 11 million
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS that are here, ALONG WITH
Medicare! (Think more or them will come then to get
in on THAT?) AND, with demo majorities in the House
and Senate, he’ll SUCCEED!
AND, after all THAT, the “democrats” have the GALL to
blame Republicans for the mess Social Security is in!

Obama is the senator of only the 13th district of Illinois and NOT of all of the state of Illinois.
Here is the poof.

I cannot take Barack Obama seriously or his supporters that sling crap in only one direction. Besides, Obama’s birth certificate was issued in 2007 and that makes him only a 1-year-old. I have to speak to the supporters of a 1-year-old so they can understand.

Hey Blackjack, Obama would not be serving in Washington as senator from Illinois if he was only a senator of the 13th district of Illinois.

Sarah Six-pack is doing a couple of interviews, but not by herself! McCain knows better than to let her try and talk on TV without him there to hold her hand. It’s the first time in history that a VP candidate cannot hold a press conference. So who’s trying to hide something?

Every time Babbling Barbie opens her mouth another million bucks pours into the Obama campaign.

I guess Sarah doesn’t pay too much attention to her party’s own supporters like Joe Lieberman who back in June stated “whoever is elected president will be tested in the first 6 months of office” he went on to cite a number of examples including Bush & Clinton.
I guess that since those statements took place in June it was before Sarah started to read newspapers and magazines.
At least she’s well dressed and setting a good example for the rest of the population who have to make do with their wardrobe.
Socialism, give me a break, what do you think the current tax system does? It takes your money and moves it around. No different than what Obama has stated.
Besides the biggest example of socialism is the bailout and both candidates supported it.
As for McCain’s claim that he was tested, how so. As a pilot? Not to mention that was more than 40 years ago, times they are a changing.
It is time for a change and Sarah it is not your time, thank god.

Governor Palin is again fortunate that the media terms her statement of Obama’s readiness as a “misstatement”. It is a lie, not a misstatement. Palin’s lying about saying “no thanks” to the Bridge to Nowhere was the first of numerous lies. She knows no other way.

I think if what NOBAMA says is true, that we will get a portion of Oprah’s, Warren Buffet’s, and Rupert Murdock’s money! Doesn’t that excite you? Is that the American Dream we’ve all heard about? Oh my goodness, he must be the Messiah! Well that’s what Farakan says he is. Yep, spread that money around so that Oprah, Buffett, and Murdock will not have it all, but will share with us!!! What a concept. NOT

Oprah and Warren Buffet will be glad to pay their taxes and have stated so. Obama is going to eliminate Bush’s tax CUTS, not raise taxes higher than they were before. It is going to be funny to hear the squeals as all the greedy fat cats like Murdoch pry open their checkbooks and pay their fair share of taxes for the first time in 8 years.

All the “spread the wealth” is going to accomplish is people not climbing the ladder of success but trying to stay under the $250,000 so they can keep more of their hard earned dollars. The wealthy will just move their businesses and bank accounts overseas. Who will be left holding the bag for all the socialist programs Obama is planning?
Obama voted too many times to raise taxes on income $42,000 and up for me to believe the $250,000 bull.
I see in my crystal ball that Obama will come back and say, “well, uh, uh, um you see, we are going to, uh um, have to raise taxes on uh um those making $42,000, to give those “behind” you something to live on.”
Don’t forget that when businesses are taxed more they get the money back by increasing their products and services, meaning the wealthy will get their money back and we will pay for their tax hikes.
Inflation! Jimmy Carters 2nd term!

We are not the least bit afraid that setting the tax rates to pre-Bush levels is going to hurt the economy. Its Republican baloney.
As for Biden’s intelligence: compared to whom? Bush? McCain? Palin?
I could try and list all the absolutely stupid things that these idiots have done and said but I just don’t have a spare week.

Memo to McCain supporters: When your comments are openly hostile, openly prejudiced, openly ignorant, like your candidate of choice, you lose all credibility. You make yourself a joke. And that’s why McCain will lose. Not only for his own lies, distortions and fear mongering, but because he has proudly ignorant people like you supporting him. You’ll all have only yourselves to blame when McCain loses. Our country thanks you. Keep up the good work!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!

++++++++++++++++++
There has been nastiness on both sides. The Dems hands are not clean, hence, the disgusting T-shirt about Palin and female anatomy and the woman attacked for having a McCain/Palin bumper sticker or the elderly lady holding a McCain sign.
Also, the media has been instigating the mess by giving Obama 70% more postive air time compared to McCain at 25%. The McCain supporters are mad, as they should be.
The fear mongering from the left is just as bad, i.e., telling the elderly their Soc Sec will be cut under a McCain administration which is blatantly false.
Ignorance is rampant on both sides.

Palin missed the ‘Obama has a spine of steel’ part of this quote, since the media didn’t report it.
she also missed…
Governor, let me ask you about immigration. How many undocumented immigrants are there in Alaska?
I don’t know, I don’t know. That’s a good question.
Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 or 13 million undocumented immigrants?
No, I do not. I do not. Not total amnesty.
To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country.

Kels–that is the point I am getting at. I also read “Faith of my fathers”, he deserves respect for his service in the military, as do all who put on the uniform with the thought of defending our country.
As for Bush, he was a great governor of my state of Texas and did some very good things for our economy, which remains strong, despite the rest of the country. He also did well his first 6 yrs, (barring the Iraq war which was a mistake). He is definitely going out in shame though. Most of the financial crisis we are in started way back with the Reinvestment Act of Jimmy Carter, and had a domino effect, but as President he should have seen this coming, and probably would have if he wasn’t so focused on the war in Iraq.

Hey Black jack that jet wasn’t her’s to sell it belongs to the state and she has seen action at least 5 times. And any woman in her forties with a functioning brain does not want to have a 5th child after having 4, maybe with none yes but with 4 no way……Samhiguchi should not have gone into Iraq period….. Joe the plumber trooper gate has something to do with a divorce in her family whether it was her sister or sister-in-law but that’s what it is all about .Not about job performance

Sean A–read my earlier post. This economic crisis is NOT solely the fault of Carter, H. Bush, Clinton, or W. Bush. We ALL take some responsibility. I think it’s a cop-out for Republicans to pull the “it’s all Clinton’s fault” bit. George W. Bush has been in office for nearly 8 years. Yes, some of the policies were in place when he took office, but you can’t deny that he’s had a hand in governing the country/making good or bad decisions during his presidency.
Look, I voted for McCain in the 2000 primary, Gore in 2000, and Ron Paul in this election’s primary season. I’m all over the map, not a patriot blinded by party.
I think folks like Rush Limbaugh are, to borrow a phrase from a member of the elite Washington media, a cancer in the body of America. Same with Sean Hannity and some hosts on liberal talk radio (although I have to PAY to listen to THEM). Until we can discuss politics without using McNames and O-insults, we’re not going to get past lipstick and plumbers.

Kels–did I say it was Clinton’s fault? No I did not. I said it started with Carter’s era and had a domino effect. You are arguing with me when I said I agreed with you. I’ve also voted “all over the place”. McCain was not my first or second choice, he’s what was left. I voted for Hillary in the primary’s. But I had to choose the lesser of two evils, and that seems to be McCain. He had to prove himelf to me though, and the more I hear him speak, the better I feel about him which direction he wants this country to go in.
Bush has gotten away from his conservative base and is more in line with the socialist base we are so against. Obama actually has more in common with Bush than McCain.

HERE IS WHAT AMERICANS WILL BE FACING IF BARACK OBAMA IS ELECTED – THE DARK AGES FOR AMERICA HAVE ALREADY STARTED!
PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Thursday, October 23, 2008:
“A knife-wielding man robbed a McCain-Palin campaign volunteer and etched a “B” into her face after he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the woman’s car, Pittsburgh police said.
Ashley Todd, 20, of College Station, Texas, was using an ATM at Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street in Bloomfield just before 9 p.m. Wednesday when a man approached her, put a knife to her throat and demanded $60, police said.
Todd handed the man $60 she had in her pocket and stepped away from him, investigators said. The man then noticed the bumper sticker on the woman’s car, which was parked in front of the ATM. The man became very angry, made comments to Todd about John McCain and punched her in the back of the head, knocking her to the ground, police said.
“He continued to kick and punch her repeatedly and said he would teach her a lesson for supporting John McCain,” said police Chief Nate Harper.”
Is this criminal a member Barack Obama’s “Truth Squad”?

This is what we have to look forward to – hate and violence if you don’t agree with Obama…

Good point, Sean A. We’ll have to agree to disagree on who will be best for the country. I lost my respect for McCain when he voted with Bush to allow the CIA to (for lack of a better way to say it) use torture. He had my respect when he stood up against Republicans who were justifying waterboarding, or who couldn’t say if waterboarding was torture or not. John McCain said it was torture, he had the chops to say so, and then voted to allow it. He was a victim of torture, had the history and experience to challenge his peers and call it what it was, and then capitulated. If he can’t stand up for something he physically and emotionally believes in (I re-watched the C-SPAN video of the hearings–he was passionate about following the Geneva Convention and definitely anti-waterboarding/torture), then I can’t stand with him at the voting booth. He lost me on that ONE vote.
And then there was the robo-calling…Again, a victim of diabolical behavior that he protested against, only to capitulate one more time. That solidified by support for the other guy (“that one”).
I won’t capitulate.

Kels–McCain has always been against torture. He has always spoken out against it.
I think that our form of torture though is nothing like the torture Americans have been subjected to. Even if we follow the Geneva convention, our enemies do not. All of those prisoners in Guantanomo Bay would cut our head off in a second if given a chance.
Our form of torture has also given us vital information that has thwarted attacks, but has not killed a prisoner. So in some ways I disagree with McCain on that one.
I’m not trying to change your mind, just as the Obama supporters would never change mine.
The robo-calling and the re-robo-calling back is ridiculous on both sides. The American people should not be subjected to that and equals harrassment from both sides.
My son wrote in Ron Paul on his ballot, maybe we should all do that. Wouldn’t McCain and Obama freak if a third party crept up behind them and won the election while they were playing the “gotcha” game?

hello i have heard that there is the former deputy attorney general of the state of pennsilvania who is suing barack obama on the grounds that he is not a nationalized us citizen.the former attorney general says that barack obama has not produced a real ligit birth certificate.that the birth certificate or so called legal document he has on his web site posted is not real.the law suit which was filed in the 3rd district court of appeals in the state of penn alledges that obama was born in the country of kenya and not the state of hawaii and other allegations that have surfaced in reference to the suit.the constitution clearly states that you must be a u.s.born citizen and if this story is true why has the big news media outlets not picked up on this story,why has the mccain campaign not made a issue of this at all.why has the politicians ignored this potentially damaging story.this law suit was filed by a prominent democrat who was a former deputy attorney general of a major state and has previously run for the us senate and govenor of pennsilvania.i say why does’nt barack obama just come out and show the country that he is a born citizen of the usa and show the real birth certificate and produce it.why does he not come clean with this.i believe obama is the better candidate for president and would vote for him.but i am discouraged because of this allegation coming from a important democratic polititian.i am sorry but i do not have the name of this politician.i really hope that someone,a reporter or a important official looks into this story.thanks.alex in miami,fl

Sarah Palin nailed Barack Hussein Obama and Joe Biden. Not only does he lack foreign policy experience, Joe Biden has been wrong on all the foreign policy issues. Also Obama already stated he would meet without pre-conditions. Something that caused Clinton, Biden, Dodd laugh at his comments. How do you defend those comments by Biden? Oh and Hillary said the same thing. By the way, why is it that 4 years ago the media was trying to crawl up Cheny’s butt over his connection to Haliburton. Now the media turns the other cheek about Obama’s alliances to Ayers/Wright/Rezko/Kahildi/Dorhn/Faarakam…. All of those people are ANTI-AMERICA.
Keep it up Sarah, you’re right on

@Kels: this is a lie, McCain always voted against torture, do better research next time before spreading around lies in addition to Obama’s goal to spread around wealth.

Republicans have shown thru their policies they don’t give a damn about struggling americans. They only pander to them during elections. Afterwards it back to helping corporations and the wealthy while screwing struggling americans. Yep, McCain and Palin are as phony as George “I’m a uniter not a divider” Bush.

Guy, just look at history. I do not believe Biden should have made the statement but, he said out loud what history proves to be true. Also, yes McCain is a war hero but he TOO has not been tested as the President of the United States so his claim is bogus… Truth be told and drama aside whom ever wins WILL BE tested war hero or Not….

naguabo79,
If you had read Biden’s entire statement you would have also read that he DID NOT SAY that Obama is NOT ready. He said that in confronting the crisis people will see that Obama has a spine of steel.

Let see here – retorical flourishes or Criminal Investigations – tell me what is worse. Not to mention the fact she still cannot tell you what the VP Job is.
Sarah Palin the most unqualified candidate ever choses for VP.

loki,
Repeal Bushes tax cuts=raising taxes.
You must have failed math

Not only is McCain out of touch but so are their supporters. Anybody here that advocates voting for McCain a member of the republican party the same party that has screwed up and ruined our great nation is either a paid blogger, delusional or stupid. Why should republicans get rewarded for screwing up America from Iraq to this financial mess? Isn’t that like rewarding CEOs with huge bonuses even when they screw up the company. Sure let’s reward the people that screwed things up. Who’s stupid enought to do that? A fool, idiot, moron, masochist, lobbyist?

To all you college students that have mom and dad helping with college,
Say goodbye to the free help, or the big package under the tree, or the new car for graduation!! Mom and Dad are not going to have any extra money next year when Obama is elected. I know because I am one of those parents. I don’t make 250K but I will still see taxes go up because for every dollar I make extra to pay for college 40% goes to all the taxes. Once Obama is in office, social security taxes goes up, capital gains etc. What little extra I have will be gone. So start looking for a job or find a lender, because Mom and Dad are broke!!!!!
