Palin Dismisses Powell Endorsement, Won’t Reject Robocalls

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081020/ap_on_bi_ge/the_influence_game_housing

THAT BIMBO as if she has any knowledge in that brain of her’s. She’s a joke and everybody knows that.

Stand up Palin!
The media has given Obama a pass on everything.
Farrakhan: the Nation of Islam leader
Rezko: the Chicago Criminal
Rev. Wright: the anti American pastor
William Ayers: the domestic terrorist
Americans are appearing to be fooled by Obama.
Blacks are voting for him because he’s black?
This man is a Chicago politician.
Period.
No experience
Radical, risky and scary.

she wants to wave a magic wand? it looks like the witch doctor didn’t get it all out of her, she is useless…

To Palin_Da_HO
Your name seems sexist, and your comment borders on racism. You mention a bunch of people that Obama barely knows as if they are associates, and then you claim that all blacks are voting for Obama simply because of his skin color, despite the fact that most African Americans vote Democratic anyways. Notice that the DEmocrats aren’t going there? They could mention Liddy (terrorist), the radical pastor connections he has, the ties to Central American death squads.
As far as experience, the man was a Constitutional law professor for 12 years. It would be nice to have someone intelligent, and knowledgeable about the Constitution as president for a change.
We can’t stand four more years of REpublican “do everything for the rich” rule.

I think it is interesting that conservative white people make the point that black people are voting for Obama just because he is black, all the while becoming indignant at any suggestion that white conservative willnot vote for him because he is black.
I also think it’s very interesting that most conservatives who make those claims do not even KNOW any black people. When white people vote for white candidates intelligent black people do not disparage them by claiming that they are voting for their candidate because of race, and Al, INTELLIGENT white people do not disparage black in the same manner.

I love that name Bimbo I cant stop laughing…..

Palin is specifically put out there as the scapegoat for the GOP campaign (as most VP usually are to take the heat)! She gets less intelligent by the minute. Perhaps Americans do not want Obama, however, can you imagine this imbecile as our President, if (most likely due to age) McCain dies in office. Have you Americans thought of that one?

GOP Is Responsible for the housing crisis, NO REGULATION Rick Davis Mccains camp manager lobbied for Freddie and Fannie FOR NO REGULATION In which has leaded us into this Mess THANKS REPUBLICANS! LETS VOTE THE BUMS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OBAMA/BIDEN08

YANKEE
PARIS IS HOT

It’s rather sad that McCain and Palin haven’t figured out that the reason Obama has so much money to spend, is precisely because so many people are so fed up they are willing to give up there hard earned money instead of risking 4 more years of these luncatics.
In my 59 years I have NEVER checked that box on my income tax to give money to a campaign nor have I ever given money to a presidential candidate. This year I gave $4300 to Barack Obama because frankly I cant take these religious war mongering country first right wing fanatic Republicans with IQ’s less than 90.

she is as dumb as the people who are supporting her on these blogs
…in echoes of how they supported Bush in 2000 and 2004.
same team
same tactics
9th year.

The robocalls are truly despicable. McCain, whom I used to admire, has dropped way down in my estimation. I have always been for Obama, but I did not dislike McCain until he went way negative in his campaign. And Palin? What can you say about someone who is so ill-informed and shallow. As someone in Alaska wrote, she is a mile wide and an inch deep.

PALIN Alaska is calling you back sweetie we dont need someone like you in the lower 48! Dont need you, Dont like you, Dont want ya!!, Go back to Alaska hang out with you AIP Anti-american friends,Shoot some more Moose and Wovles, and leave this country to be ran by smart Intelligent people that know what their talking about and doing!

To al from nj and all other dissmissive McCain Voters:
Why would any of your types say blacks are voting for Obama because he is black. One could say whites are voting with McCain because he is white and not for Obama because he is black.
As for Bill Ayers, Rev Wright and Rezko, only uneducated people would fall for this nonsense. Firstly, Rezko was a guy Obama bought land from. This is not a big deal. Rev Wright, he may have said things that opened ears but to say somehow his views are Obama’s views is ridiculous As for Bill Ayers, Obama did not have a close relationship with this guy. Its simply NOT TRUE!!!
It appears that the only people who buy into this crap are those with small minds.
Vot for McCain because you like his policies if you like, but stop with the racist overtures.
Obama will win this election because of everything Colin Powell listed.
When the truth hurts, you will be in pain.
Greg

Is this the one on the ticket that comes first????McCain is using her as a mouth piece and she does not have the brains to know this.Don’t dismiss Powell lady.He has more knowledge in his little finger then you have in you pee pick brain.This is the dirtiest and untruthful champaign I have ever witnessed in all my years <These three are hateful.Yes,three Cindy is in on this too.

Robo-calls are annoying. You would think all candidates would realize that they are counter-productive. How is bothering people with a tele-marketing tactic supposed to HELP one’s campaign?LOL

Does she really think people are listening to her? Soon she will go home to Alaska where her impeachment is inevitable. She is now fooling none of the people all of the time. Even the most diehard conservatives can’t pretend she’s worthy. Ambition without brains. The good looks only get you so far Ms. Sarah…and they don’t last either.

>>We’re (the Democrats) in good shape for many years to come.
Angie, yes, you are experiencing the high of a lemming before it falls off the cliff. Your daily diet of media and PC have dulled your brain.

NH Voter entitlement should go to the majority. That’s how it is in all cultures with major and sub cultures. Read up! You are defying nature.

i see afew of mccain rats are coming out.kiss your hanoi songbird goodbye

>>To all white people on board crying Racisim, The African America people have supported White Presidents all along, Look at Bill Clinton African Americans love him and Obama is BI-RACIAL his dad was Black his mom was white Therefore he is a BI-RACIAL AMERICAN!
Oh please! Bill Clinton wasn’t white you fool. She was a tool of white carpetbaggers exchanging personal power for black nationalist access to the nations power structure.
Balkanization!

>>i see afew of mccain rats are coming out.kiss your hanoi songbird goodbye
You would certainly do NO better under those conditions. You think you would have prevailed in a torture chamber my friend?

i would have felt better if mccain picked paris for vp—–she is hot
goodbye

>>McCain will lose because he lacked judgement in his VP pick, his tactics and his apparent lack of knowing the greater American Public.
No, McCainif he loses will lose because of the folly of PC white liberals. They just don’t get it until they are victimized by black person. Then, they are NRA supporting republicans. They know.

Colin Powell gave his word to John McCain that he would not make an endorsement in this election. Powell stabbed McCain in the back. This is the same Powell who kept silent for TWO YEARS while Scooter Libby was falsely accused of leaking to Bob Novak when Powell knew his own deputy, Richard ARMITAGE, had spoken to Novak.

The right to speak covered by the constitution.
Of course liberals want to make that a hate crime.

They need to give her an earpiece. She strays off the reservation quite easily.

Of course…… also.

So sad. Did anyone see the crotchety old bigot with the Curious George monkey with the Obama sticker on his head.
He was going to a rally to release his pinned up bigotry.
So all you bigots….. If you have pinned up bigotry that you would like to release, find the nearest McCain/Palin rally near you!!!

Powell’s endorsement comes as no surprise. 95% of blacks are voting for Obama; who says race isn’t a factor when it comes to the black vote. Besides, Powell needs a job. It was so predictable.
McCain has the endorsement of FOUR Secretaries of State, and 200 Generals and Admirals. Score: 4 to 1 – McCain.

Succeeded from Northern Virginia
Northern Virginia resident here. I think it is the other way around. How about ‘Real Virginia’ succeeding back to the 1800′s where it belong.
This is the new Virginia and we are going blue. Be appalled.
btw GEORGIA IS NEXT. Give us a few years.

Folks, we all do what works for us.
These negative attacks are not working
Palin! Why on earth if you are serious
of what you want to do for the nation,
you opt to continue with your
attacks.
You are just pleasing your base, but
not encouraging those who will carry
you to victory. Its really absurd.

Greg, that really sucks. So go ahead and shore up the illegal immigrants and anti-god folks. You want to defile Virginia into a California? Horrible.

Palin – Racist, stupid, and getting exactly what she deserves.

News Flash!
Obama’s lead dropped to 5.7 points.
RealClearPolitics.com
The liberal media is still declaring victory?

Al…Palin is the risky one. You want to put someone who thinks, foreign policy is being able to see Russia, into the Presidents office.
Please, she is a joke on the national scale.

I never called anyone a monkey. I believe we are all the same as far as human worth.
You reaction typifies a hysterical overreacting woman. Why call youself Omentum. You know that stands for bowel lining right?
Please.

hmmmmmm just curious
Would we classify the 700+ billion bailout redistribution of wealth.
So would we rather spread the wealth or push it all to the top.
hmmmmmmm McCain and Palin admits that the reason we got to where we are is because of the greed and corruption on walls street.
hmmmmmmmm. so do we want to give more money to corrupt people so that they will “create more jobs”
What they will create is
more corruption
more greed
more off shore companies
more tax loopholes
more millionaires and billionaires
more in-family dynasties
sorry I am not buying it ‘blind conseratives”
how on earth did you get the name conservative anyway” NOTHING conserative about that.

They continue to hammer Palin on what is clearly not her fault. Of course Powell was to endorse Obama, he may need a rationell reason to do so, but it’s not more complicated than the fact Obama has a chance to be the first African-American president in history.
And why do they say she’s stupid. She has nowhere near the gaffe’s Biden has. Now that man is stupid! Pretty boy, part of the old boy’s network with 35 years as a senator, but in-your-face stupid for sure. That’s the senator and VP-candidate to compare with Quayle.
Sexism in America is so bad, I can’t help a woman anything would be an improvement.

obama 08

Moku not a racist at all.
Notice all the folks that surrounded this guy with the curious george doll. NO ONE called him on it.

Palin is not clean on racism if you read some of the stuff that is going on in Alaska.
As for voting for a black President, I for one (a white guy by the way) started from the standpoint of it’s about time and gave Sen. Obama my full attention. I actually also started with Hillary the same way, it is about time.
As for Palin, she will be a strong figure in US politics and if she doesn’t serve as VP this time around, I am sure we will see more of her in the future.

Can someone tell me where the pro american parts of america are?

Honest dialog = non-existent in the US.
Honesty is the key to race relations and human relations.
Ask what pisses off a black person the most? Pretending racism doesn’t exist.

moku
I really can’t tell you what African American think about white people but for some of the older ones (around the age of the monkey carrier) they would have reason to have hatred and resentment for
sitting at the back of the bus
different restroom and water fountains
not allowed to eat in certain restaurants
not allowed to stay in certain hotels
the list goes on.
Barack Obama as I want to rise above that putrid past.
But the monkey man wants to keep that wound open
do you as well? I would hope not.

Obama barely knows Ayers? What rock have you been living under. HE GHOST WROTE OBAMA’S BOOKS WHILE SHARING AN OFFICE WITH THIS TRAITOR FOR 3 YEARS. Obama is a radical socialist-he was a member of the Chicago socialist party in 1996 -look it up. You people are handing our country to a radical socialist. HEAVEN HELP US.

I have many things in my life Omentum that I could choose to be bitter for. I wasn’t told I couldn’t go to this or that public restroom, but there are other things.
When I followed Christ and I saw that no one owes me the debt I claim in the desire to hold on to grievances against others. I feel this is applicable to black people as well, if they choose. The problem is the letting go.
It serves no one to hold young whites today responsible for what happened then. Whites helped promote civil rights, yet they are systematically denied entry into black organizations. This isn’t right.

To bonnie dudley ..
Give me the information you have listed I will look. Never heard that Ayers wrote Obama’s book. I have heard the the New Socialist Party “called” Obama an honorary member. This would mean he was not a part of the Socialist party.
Just like blacks call Bill Clinton the fist black president…does not mean he is black.
You people are grasping at straws and adding more nonsense to the conversation. Your are looking for reasons to knock Obama and hoping others will follow your lead..
Nonsense!!
You know the writing is on the wall and your Republicans are panicking…LOL

Saw a kid at a McCain rally say that Obama was a communist.
hmmmmmmmm. Where does he get that from.

This campaign is not and should not be about race; however you will always have your racist bigots that can’t help but to bring up race because of Obama’s skin color not realizing or caring that he’s half white, part of their race. This just goes to show 100% pure and complete ignorance. It amazes me how now that we have, for the first time in history, a Presidential candidate of color, that he cannot seem to get the same respect as his couterparts and the respect he deserves. Governor Sarah Palin can’t even communicate well and this is who the ignorant bigots want to run our country, because she’s white; how stupid. If she were black, I wonder what the tone of this campaign would be??? Interesting, huh??? I’m sick and tired of the racism. We live in a new day, so here’s a message for bigots, build a bridge and get over it. By the way, I’m not black and I’m voting for OBAMA!!!

Ok, I agree with your sentiments about being sick of racism. But the folly is in believing it can be dealt with by the traditional means of political correctness and white guilt. The sins of black nationalists like Jesse and Al, in their confrontatonal approach to shake down white america has set the stage for a “racial race”. To an extent,its the black communities fault that the race is racial! If the last 30 years had been spent building bridges instead of getting “what’s mine”, it might be different. Whites are guily of greed and inattention to the problem as well. But no one gets a pass, and not black folks, becuase I am white.

moku
I consider myself one who don’t have time to dwell on the past.
Whether you accept the past or not. IT HAPPENED. No one can do anything about it.
Where do we go from here. Do we learn from the past and NOT repeat it
or
Do we finally learn from the past and BECOME BETTER.
I have made my choice. Being once military I have shared close proximity with every hue of America and today I continue that practice because this is America.
But some still want to live a segregated/compartmentalized/title oriented life.
I just don’t have time for that…. I wish America could follow my lead on that.
We have HUGE challenges in this global society. The russias and chinas of world don’t have this racial struggle to address like we do. The are focusing on world domination (especailly china) and we are still toting around monkies and other hateful items (on both sides … don’t get me wrong) as we stand static as a world is overtaking us.
when we wake up and realize we have to work together.

Obama has 10 point lead per Gallup 10/19/2008
http://www.gallup.com/poll/111232/Gallup-Daily-Obama-Retains-Significant-Lead.aspx

Not over. Not by a longshot, not even close.
Sen. Obama, experience matters. I have made many mistakes in my short life. It is true, when I think about it, that each of those mistakes are among my greatest assets with respect to decision making, each and every one of them. This is because we all learn from our mistakes. At all times, I believe the best of my judgment is anchored in the cement that is my experience. I believe firmly that the longer I live, the more I will have experienced, and the better my judgment will be, on the balance. Sen. Obama, do you really believe that you have made enough mistakes to be the next President of the United States? Many say that what you won’t make the same mistakes that others have because of your sound judgement (ie, your choice of pastor). The only thing, Senator, is that there still remain many mistakes yet to be written into this planet’s history books. You won’t always have the benefit of others experience, you’ll have to leverage your own experience and you have too little on which to base your judgement. I respect your ambition. I respect your charisma. I embrace your place in history, but I do not believe you have sufficient experience to lead this planet, not even close.
America, since the mainstream media has failed to examine Sen. Obama’s experience and lack of experience, you will have to determine for yourselves what exactly is Sen. Obama’s experience? What did he accomplish in the Illinois legislature? He was only there for a handful of years. What did he promise he would accomplish? What did he accomplish in the U.S. Senate? He has only been on the job as a U.S. Senator for 1xx days. What did he promise he would accomplish? What has he changed in this world? This country? The Presidency of the United States is an executive position Sen. Obama. Do you have any executive experience? Have you created a budget, negotiated a budget, revised a budget or managed adherence to a budget?
Sen. Obama insists on presenting Sen. McCain’s experience as being only an puppet of the Bush administration. I saw Senator McCain stand up to President Bush’s Defense Secretary. He stood in a manner that no other did. He changed the course of the war in Iraq. What percentage of all GOP legislative votes sided with President Bush’s? What percentage of all Democrat legislative votes sided with Presidents Clinton, Carter and Johnson’s policies? I have no idea, but I’d venture to guess that, had the media presented that information to the American public, we’d find rank and file partisanship throughout our recent history. How many Americans would be surprise by that?
Well Senator Obama, you might be able to claim that you did not support the Iraq war resolution, but what can you offer as proof that it was the right decision at that moment in our history? You were after all in the small minority. Our country was after all reeling from the worst terror attack in our nation’s history. How would history have judged President Bush had he not led our troops into Iraq and then, a massive terror attack occurred yesterday, perpetrated by terrorists that lived and trained in Iraq over the past few years, with or without knowledge of Saddam Hussein? I think about it this way: history failed to present enough evidence to push the World to coalesce and intervene in 1930s Europe. But modern history is 100% clear on that point, it would have been the correct decision. History might well judge the Iraq war to be not a right decision. History will judge the Bush administration on many points. One of those may even record it, in part, as a series of lapses in the judgment of a young President, swayed by the belief and conviction of an older, seasoned Vice President and the overwhelming circumstances of a world that had changed dramatically, in an instant. I agree with you Sen. Obama that we don’t need another eight years of the Bush Administration, we dont need another eight years of an inexperienced President.
Mr. Gibson, Ms. Couric, Ms. Behar, Ms. Mitchell, Mr. Matthews … you do not get to dismantle the American vote. You and your colleagues might think you have the power to micro-filter democracy’s messages to your liking, but you do not get to dismantle the American vote. You might think you have the power to subtly, and not so subtly promote and gather others to blindly promote one candidacy, while casting another in the least flattering manner possible, but you do not get to dismantle the American vote. You do not get to dismantle America’s vote. The mainstream media bias in this election is at best described as repugnant and at worst, a slap to the face of democracy; an assault on the moral and righteous ideal that all American voters should be free to construct their vote on the basis of readily available, factually complete, accurate, relevant and unbiased fact. It is my opinion that, during this election cycle more than any other I have witnessed, the mainstream media has failed millions of American’s who rely on them, as a basis for constructing their vote. Am I wrong? I might be wrong, but I’ll ask you, the American voters to decide that for yourself, by asking yourself some questions. Questions such as why was so much time spent this election cycle mining for dirt in Alaska, why was so little time was spent tracking laundry in Illinois? Why has the mainstream media spent so little time illuminating the razor thin experience that the junior Senator from Illinois maintains as his credentials? Indeed, if the media was prepared to be fair and honest, they would have been able to report, with incontrovertible confidence, that they were reporting fact, that the candidate having the most experience directly relevant to the position of the Presidency of the United States is actually the candidate that has been relentlessly attacked by the media, both personally and professionally. The mainstream media owes an apology to American Democracy for its treatment of Gov. Palin. Why is it, that after finally deciding to give minimal airtime to the ACORN voter registration fraud issue, was it not mentioned that Sen. Obama’s campaign funded ACORN? Sen. Obama, in my mind, there is no distinction between committing voter registration fraud, serving as impetus to commit voter registration fraud or funding those serving as impetus to commit voter registration fraud. During the last debate, you did a fine job of distancing yourself from ACORN, but you failed to directly confront and condemn those that perpetrate or encourage voter registration fraud. You had a nationwide audience, and you chose not to act.
The President is the commander in chief of the United States Armed Forces. That is a serious responsibility. I question how you can expect us to believe that you will effectively maintain the morale, skill and competence of our forces after you have insulted them (I have a friend that is an Army Reservist. He is deploying, again, to Iraq. He has a wife, a son and a daughter. He does not serve so that he can kill children and raid villages Senator). What will serve as your experiential basis for leading the U.S. Military? Do you have any military experience at all? Have you ever served in ROTC? Did you at least play with the little green plastic troops when you lived in Hawaii? Do you know firsthand the horrors of war? I believe that firsthand knowledge and experience is the most critical element one can use in formulating decisions, including the determination of when to and when not to deploy U.S. Military forces. Sen. McCain has that experience. That I know. That he has shown. The media can’t take that away from him.
With regard to foreign policy experience, do you think you are qualified to navigate the most powerful democracy the world knows during a time when the fundamentals of democracy are very much under attack? Are you ready to face Mr. Putin? Mr. Chavez? Kim Jung mentally Ill? China? Iran? Are you ready to answer the 03:00 phone call? What experience do you have that I should judge gives you readiness? What is that experience? What foreign leaders have you negotiated with directly? What treaties have you signed? The media has presented none and neither have you. I have a good number of stamps in my passport Sen. Obama. I lived and worked in Germany for a brief period. Sen. Obama, I am not qualified by a longshot to make United States foreign policy, and you may only be marginally more qualified than I.
The oratorical is no substitute for judgment or experience Senator Obama. I do not believe that you have the experience to be President of our country. Experience matters Sen. Obama, and you are not ready, you have not made enough mistakes. But most glaring to me, Senator Obama is the one mistake that you seem willing to make over and over and it is the worst mistake one can make. That mistake is the action of not owning and learning from one’s mistakes. The surge worked Senator.
Sen. Obama, you claim that you will cut taxes on 95% of all Americans. Is that true? Or let me rephrase, how can that be true? You told the voters of Illinois that you would cut taxes, but you have failed to do so in the U.S. Senate. Did you even try? Did you present a bill? Were it a committee issue did you encourage your peers to present one? Have you ever voted for a tax cut? What did you mean Senator Obama when you told Plumber Joe that you wanted to spread the wealth? Do you mean that you want to take money from Joe and give it to those with less money? Your running mate, Sen. Biden has commented that you would not be taxing additionaly those making under $250,000 a year. Sen. Biden commented that he knows no plumbers that make over $250,000 a year. I think that those who claim your tax policies embody class warfare are wrong. Wrong, because the policies are class warfare policies, but they are not directed against the haves, they are directed against the have-nots. Senator Biden, you may well be correct that few plumbers earn over $250,000 a year, but some that own plumbing contracting businesses probably do. What do those that spin your message have planned to say to that one plumber out of maybe six or seven that was employed by a plumbing company, but was laid off, because business is slow, new homes weren’t being built and President Obama’s tax increase forced the owner of the plumbing business to lay her off? The owner tried every angle possible, but was forced to make a tough decision. They were faced with the prospect of either making a tough decision or risk running the entire operation into financial distress and end up having to close operations and fire all workers? I guess you’d have Mr. Burton tell her that, even though she has no job, she does at least still have access to affordable healthcare? Senator Obama what will you say to the still unemployed plumber in Ohio, father of two, that nearly had a job secured, the owner had just signed a good contract for a small building and he was ready to hire that plumber, but learned from his accountant, that President Obama’s, Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid’s tax increase has made it not possible to hire another employee? I guess you’d have Mr. Burton tell that plumber, that even though he still has no job, he does have a lower tax rate applied against his $0.00 income.
Sen. Obama, you have stated over and over that Sen. McCain supports tax breaks for corporations that send their jobs overseas. The media has not reported on this one way or another, but if you are correct, then I commend Sen. McCain for doing so. What you don’t get, Sen. Obama, or perhaps don’t want the American public to get, is that income taxes, to a for profit enterprise are expenses not much different from the costs of raw materials and salary expenses for purposes of this discussion. All else equal, ladies and gentleman, a corporation will locate itself, and its jobs, or begin to locate itself and its jobs, in areas where it is least penalized in terms of taxes. This is how for profit American corporations behave and this is how they must behave. Their competitors are operating in that manner, continually scouring expenses to search for reduction opportunities. They have to. If they do not, they will be at a cost disadvantage and if their tactical errors are sustained, they may well go out of business in which case, even those jobs which remain in the United States, could also disappear. Even if the company does not fail entirely, some jobs may be eliminated, and chances are great that the highest cost jobs would be targeted first. Sen. Obama, America is not a low cost country, in these circumstances, high cost American jobs would be targeted first, all else equal. When those jobs are cut Sen. Obama, those finding themselves newly unemployed will not have money to support the ‘under $250k’ crowd…they won’t have money to support small businesses…is it sinking in at all?
Your position of not supporting tax breaks for corporations that export jobs overseas, indeed, only encourages them, at the margin, to further export jobs, or slow their job creation in the United States or end their job creation in the United States. This is global economic reality. The media can not distort this fact for you. At the final debate, I heard you add a carrot to your plans. You pulled that same tax string attached to the back of your head and out came the message your handlers have planted in you, that message you think the voters want to hear. I was laughing a bit, but if I understand you correctly, you’ll give tax credits to corporations that create jobs in America. In case you don’t know Senator Obama, this already happens today at the state and local level all across America. Have you thought about how much additionaly, it will cost the U.S. Treasury to employ workers, in an audit fashion, in order to verify which of all the xx million jobs that corporations claim they created, were actually created or do actually exist? What are the time constraints? How long must they keep the job filled in order to receive the credit? What would happen when that timeframe passes? Let me point this out to my fellow voters. Senator Obama wants to first keep tax rates on corporations high or raise them – thereby encouraging employers large and small to export their operations and jobs – and then at the same time he wants to turnaround and give them a tax credit for jobs they create? Senator, or maybe I should be addressing your advisers, you do realize that the two are policy opposites don’t you? It looks to me that you might be trying to convince us that it would be a good idea to spend more on government for an unknown expected net job decrease/increase. If you can convince us that those are winning policies Senator Obama, then I’d suggest you save us all some trouble, sell the American voters a bridge to nowhere and retire, pen some books, give some speeches. Indeed, your tax policy is bigger government, bigger IRS, more regulatory burden on American corporations and more administrative overhead makes them less competitive in the global market and less likely to employ. It is not the right policy Senator Obama, not by a long shot.
Go back to the Senate and accomplish something Sen. Obama. Your candidacy is an insult to America.
ps, the verdict has been in for decades on the effectiveness of spreading the wealth policies. Go visit an American Indian Reservation Sen. Obama. The only thing that has changed for the past several decades is the faces of the Washington politicians that have redistributed wealth to us. Do you have any clue what the average unemployment rate is in Indian Country Sen.Obama? Illicit drug use rate? Teen pregnancy rate? Suicide rate? Pick a rate Senator.

We cannot change what did or didn’t happen 30 years ago. The past is the past and we MUST move forward. It NOW time to cry a river, build a bridge and get the freak over it. That’s the problem with so many people of today, there’s too much power given to the past and it has allowed them to shape their lives by it. Let make an impact in the future and create positive change.

Lori that’s my point to Omentum exactly. In fact what has happened is that the past has been used to extort things from the present out of appeasement. With a crime rate of 60%, black people put everyone else on Defcon 1.
Know what I mean?

Is Sarah McPalin something we want to back in 2012?
There is noething Sarah will not do for that title, including dumping Todd, offing Cindy and tying the knot with McSAme.

It would be appreciated if you would post your own name and not insult another. Nothing is solved by that and it’s quite immature. Let’s be adults and have adult commications without insulting one another. We can agree to disagree, but insults are pointless and ignorant to say the least.

PolRadar: “Palin Dismisses Powell Endorsement.”
Palin – “Oh, ya know, who ever heard of that ol’ Colin Powell anyway?”

Hey…I may be a fool, however, 5.8% or 6 percent is still a lead for Obama. This fool also knows that the polls mean nothing and a president is elected in the electoral college.
The electoral college vote as of this morning shows Obama with 277 votes or 7 more than he actually needs to win.
So who is the fool now?
Obama “should” win. You will not find many pundits out there as of today that says McCain has an easy shot to win this thing.

The name redistribution of money is a farce.
People wake up!!
The Bush tax cuts took money from the Middle Class and gave it to the rich. The tought was that if big business had more money to invest it would create more jobs.
Well it did not happen. What happened was the rich got richer and the middle class wealth sunk. Jobs were sent overseas and tax loopholes meant the rich paid as little as 15% in taxes.
Who paid the rest? The middle class. Obama wants to fix the problem and make things fair after 8 years of the middle class getting poked and now some in the middle class say that wrong?
I never heard a RICH person or big business say that it was not fair that they were getting RICHER and that the middle class needed a break.
Think about it people….
Don’t become confused with McLiars speeches!!

I work hard for my money and DO NOT like the idea of the government taking my money and giving it to those who don’t want to work and are just waiting for government hand-outs.

McPalin-Palin 08
Even thought this is not a suprise party but an electionn this is NO suprise to me either.
I man of Powell’s stature would never take sides with the sporadic, erratic, nebulus, faltering, static, vitriolic, nauseating, campaign that McCain is running.
Question: If you approve of someone by 90%, wouldn’t you have them campaign for you?

TO Traci …
They dismiss Colin Powell because they have to hate him. Powell is now a traitor to his party. He also told the truth and the McCain supporters want to ignore the truth and do not want others to feel the truth.
Powells words effectively end McCains lies. His supporters are in denial…

McCain please call me again
Waste all your money on me.
hahahha
OBAMA 08

Palin said Powell’s endorsement is “not much of a surprise”
The next question should have been “What makes you say that?. Isn’t it surpring that 5 star general, former Secretary of State, a Republican chose to endorse a 2 year Senator over your running mate?” This is not surprising to you?” In my opinion her comment on face value could mean Colin Powell is black and that is why he chose Obama. That is why it is no surprise to her. That is why follow up questions are needed….I would like to know why she doesn’t consider it a surprise..

Obama blatantly lied to the American people when he said he only had a superficial involvement in ACORN, when it is a FACT that his involvement is much greater and has occurred for a longer period of time that he admits too. ACORN has admitted that it supports Obama and the Democrats, so it is not non-partisan. The voter registration fraud they’ve perpetrated has now come to light – another indisputable fact. It is clear from these dubious activities that the Democrats are attempting to steal the election this time.

Sure, it makes total sense for a rejection of Powell’s authority and credentials to come from a politician of SARAH PALIN’S stature. Not. (Well done, Powell! http://tinyurl.com/5gtlug)

Indy Voter – you hit the nail on the head!!!
HPBoston – Because ACORN chose to commit fradulent acts and supports Obama does not point to the fact that Obama endorses or had anything to do with what they did. As far as the Dem’s “stealing” the election, don’t have to “steal” anything, it’s being earned. Don’t hate, appreciate!

We love you Sarah! One thing I can say about you is there is NO GRAY AREA. You are upfront and you stick to your case. You don’t let anyone stomp on you and this is what I admire most! You are a strong and accomplished woman and you deserve better!!!!! Way to go!!!
McCain/Palin 2008

Obama’s Lead widens on Gallups Poll 10/20/2008
11 Point Lead (up one point) and for Likley Voters 5 points (Up two points)
http://www.gallup.com/poll/111274/Gallup-Daily-Obamas-Lead-Edges-Higher.aspx

Palin may well be the right person as Governor of Alaska. That is for them to decide. But the President of the US occupies a larger and more thoughtful position. He – or she – has to work with clever, highly educated and experienced people, in the US and overseas. With the best will in the world, Palin cannot, just cannot, hold her own in that environment. The moment she is unscripted, she veers off-message and is almost inarticulate. Her energy (highly partisan energy) and very limited national experience, leave her a very long way from being qualified.

She is not Presidential material like Gen. Powell stated,and how dare she state taht some americans are anti americans, maybe her and her husband are, since they palled around with a radical group, her husband was part of a Alaska Independance party.she has sopme witch preist pray for her to become governor of Alaska, she is just a Puppet for McCain. My vote is for Obama as I beleive 95% Americans are.

I’ve got a simple answer to the division that will surely exist whomever is elected….If Obama is elected let the Palins have their wish and let Alaska secede from the union…Then all the right wing nut jobs permeating the Republican partry will have a safe haven to migrate to…Once they’ve migrated America can get back to moving forward and being a unified again…And, with Alaska being it’s own country, Palin will build her foreign policy experience…A win-win solution…

So Palin is not qualified but Barack is???? Please Colin we know why you did this… Whatever you could have been THE PRESIDENT but you didn’t want to stand up to your wife so take your pathetic endorsement given 2 weeks before the election and fertilize your lawn with it.

McCain’s lack of judgment in choosing Palin was a tragic mistake. I had always respected him up until then. Had he gone with his gut and chose Lieberman (or someone else that was his own idea and not pushed on him by the campaign), then perhaps he could honestly call himself a maverick. If he were to do it over, I wonder if McCain would not have allowed himself to be coerced into such a horrific VP choice.

To NObama,
Obama clearly is far more qualified than Palin. They may be similar in their years of experience in politics, but Obama has strong leadership, diplomacy, knowledge, and ability to make informed decisions. I have not observed any of these skills in Palin.

What was the “New Party”? Was Obama a member? Check it out yourself…
His father wrote a paper entitled “Problems Facing Our Socialism”
What kind of political “dreams” did he inherit?
This is typical…he will pretend to be a middle of the road guy, which he is not, and then once in power, with a democratic congress, all kinds of sweeping changes can be made.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that his first round of tax increases will be his last.
And don’t be fooled that the “middle class” (under $250K per family) won’t be impacted at some point.
You think he is going to implement his plan and that’s it? He has “big things” in store for us, just like Clinton did (and failed to implement for the most part).

All I can say is what did General Powell do other than being National Security Advisor to Ronald Reagan, 2 time, 2 time, Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs under two different presidents and Secretary of State. When this man speaks everone listens…

Powell played a very important role in starting the Iraq war. Now Obama, who keeps saying that the Iraq war is wrong, is eager to accept Powell’s endorsement. Does it mean that Obama’s position on the war depends on whether he gains or loses popularity? It looks like Obama is the one who will bring us “more of the same”.
Also note that things in Iraq have been steadily improving even since Powell left the Bush administration. He was against the surge (just like Obama). Now that the surge has greatly succeeded (as Obama admitted himself), the two guys who were wrong in their opposition to it are embracing each other…
Sarah Palin has more executive experience than Obama, so Powell’s statement that she is not qualified to be a VP while Obama is qualified to be the President is completely illogical. Unfortunately, logic is amiss in the Obama fams camp.
Go McCain/Palin!

All of you who are or will be voting for Obama are right, he will win this election. Even the Bible, the Word of God, talks about Obama and all of you. Read carefully, God says that “The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool(all of you) to the left. Even as he walks along the road, the fool(you)lacks sense and shows everyone how stupid he is. God also says that “Fools(Obama and Biden) are put in many high positions…” (Ecclessiastes 10:2-6).

When Biden says President Kennedy, I think Bay of Pigs, Cuban Missile crisis and Vietnam. Young cocky president having to show the world he has big enough balls makes us all nuclear fall-out.

Biden Guarantees an International Crisis in Six Months if Obama Wins [UPDATED]
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/10/20/biden-guarantees-an-international-crisis-in-six-months-if-obama-wins/#more-5570
(I know some of you guys heard Biden–he sounds crazy or maybe like he doesn’t want Obama to win, or he knows something. Re-read it and look for clues. He’s rambling about how we don’t have enough in the military, and how Pakistan is blah blah. WTH is he talking about. A Draft? Starting war somewhere else? Or he’s saying we will GET attacked? They are going to need our influence in the community? What? The civilian military? Cause it’s NOT going to be apparent they are right at first?? What? It’s one of the scariest things I’ve heard a politician say. I’ve been harping about how I think Obama would swap our enemies for our allies. Just re-read what he said. Predicting something horrible…for what? To numb the already numbed out Ozombie WACKOS who want to vote for this guy??)

The 10 Biggest Differences Between Obama and McCain That Will Affect Your Daily Life
AlterNet. Posted October 17, 2008.
The next president will influence everything from your Internet access to your ability to pay medical bills.
http://www.alternet.org/election08/103387/the_10_biggest_differences_between_obama_and_mccain_that_will_affect_your_daily_life/

To HP Boston
Palins approval rating is down to 68%. The reason: People in Alaska are upset with her smear tactics and her ethics violations in the state. While tha number is still considered good it shows that she is not viewed the same.
If you think that she showed intellectual grace during her interviews
then a 2nd grader could be secretary of state.
People bash her because she should not be close to becoming President of the US.
As for the Powell Pick being nothing more than a vote for Race, this is a typical response
Coming from a person with a name that constains “BOSTON”. Powell laid it out with
Info to back up why he came to his conclusion. Again, anyone could say “well leiberman gives his support to McCain because he is white.
The notion that Powell simply gave his vote because Obama is black is racist. What you are saying is that Black people are not educated enough to make a decision based on facts. It can only be because they look like each other.
Any person who thinks that Powell is uneducated is a troll.
By the way, Powell was upset with the Bush administration because it basically sent Powell out to the UN knowing full well that they gave Powell faulty information to display to the world. It ended up being the reason we went to war in Iraq. Then Bush made him the fall guy when the world shunned the US.
Get your facts straight!!

Laura,
What you say may all be well and good but I still will say that is nothing in Palin’s resume that indicates she is anything a C- student or that she has an inquisitive and looks for solutions. As far as popularity in Alaska….it is easy to be popular in a state of $700,000 that gives tax rebates back to every citizen. Also, remember that George Bush had 80% approval before his lack of intelligence and judgement put us where we are today. I am not impressed at all with Palin. And the difference between Palin and Obama is simple…Obama searches for facts to try to come to a reasoned decision…Palin doesn’t need to do that since she believes she already knows the answer….We’ve had one president like that…we don’t need another.

Question: How can it be called a smear add/campaign if it is true?
Just wondering.

If you read the bible you will realize that we must as christians vote for McCain/Palin. Obama is going to turn this country into a communist muslim place. You guys will see that i am right.

I have read too many things in the bible to know that Obama is the antichrist. Palin was chosen by a higher force to help people understand this.

I can see that Sen. Obama looks like a black man. However, who defines that. He could just as well go around telling people he is white. He is 50/50.
If he had taken his mothers coloring (as some biracial children do)what would we say about race? What if we didn’t know? I am voting for what I have heard from both candidates and their running mates.
If not now, when will it be enough for a man to stand before the U.S.A. and say “I want to be your President and this is why…. “without having to talk about race? The young people are getting the message.

We need a new direction.
The more you hear about Palin the more dodgy she seems.

To Laura:
You are part of the problem in this country. You stand with the uneducated!!
1. Obama is not Muslim.
2. Obama’s father was Kenyan and his mom was from Kansas. He was born in the USA (Hawaii). I never knew we sent Americans back to countries where they are not from.
Not in the bible however:
Hate dwells in the heart of those blinded by lies and who have been misguided by false teachings of god.
God is love. You cannot call yourself a Christian and preach hate for your fellow man.
