Palin Guarantees Win in Pennsylvania
ABC News’ Imtiyaz Delawala reports: Near the hometown of Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath, Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin guaranteed a come-from-behind victory for the McCain-Palin ticket in Pennsylvania.
“This morning we were in Ohio, we were in the home of Joe the Plumber,” Palin said to a crowd of supporters packed onto the football field of Beaver Area High School near Pittsburgh, Pa., this evening. “And now, we are here in Beaver County, Pa., home of Joe the Quarterback.”
Palin was referring to former New York Jets quarterback Joe Namath, who was born and raised in nearby Beaver Falls, and led the underdog Jets to an upset win in Super Bowl III over the heavily favored Baltimore Colts, after Namath had guaranteed a win three days before the game.
“Now, Joe Namath is probably a little bit before your time,” Palin said to the high school students in the crowd. “But do you remember, though, in the biggest game of his life, all the experts had Joe Namath and the Jets written off to defeat? They were up against the elite team that had all the money, and they were held in awe by the media. And Broadway Joe replied, ‘we’re gonna win the game, I guarantee it.’ And they won.
“And I hope Joe won’t mind if I paraphrase him some in this state, his home state, Pennsylvania, with your help, we’re going to win this state. I guarantee it,” Palin said to wild applause.
Like the Jets in Super Bowl III, the McCain-Palin ticket faces an uphill battle in the Keystone State, which has been won by the Democratic ticket in the last four presidential elections. The latest state polls show the Obama-Biden ticket ahead by at least 10 points with less than two weeks to go before Election Day.
At the western Pennsylvania rally, Palin continued the Republican ticket’s use of Ohio plumber Joe Wurzelbacher’s encounter with Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., to attempt to paint the Democratic presidential nominee’s tax policies as a radical plan to redistribute wealth. A few supporters in the crowd shouted “socialism” during Palin’s remarks, while another man yelled out “Obama’s a socialist!” above the crowd.
“He’s hiding his real agenda of redistributing your hard-earned money,” Palin said to boos. “So I know that we have other Joe the Plumbers in the house, in this audience today, and it doesn’t sound like many of you are gonna be supporting ‘Barack the Wealth-Spreader’ in this election.”
As she had done in Ohio earlier in the day, Palin asked the crowd to “hire” the McCain-Palin ticket on Nov. 4.
“We will never forget that we’re accountable to the people who hired us. We will be there to work for you, the good people of America. So, Pennsylvania, will you hire us, will you send us to Washington to shake things up and clean things up?” Palin asked, prompting cheers and applause, and chants of “Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!” from the crowd.
“Well, good, it’s a deal. We’ll take the job,” Palin added after the applause died down.

It’s all about showmanship now. Palin has launched her own 2012 presidential effort and is simply turning her back on McCain.

Palin knows that she and McCain want to continue following the republican agenda of redistrubuting the wealth of the Joe six packs and Joe the plumber to the wealthiest of Americans and to Iraq, yet she lies to these people. What a disgrace.

If McCain loses, the blame is already being laid at her feet. She may see it coming and will try some damage control, but realistically she’ll be finished. A different wing of the GOP will be taking over next time if McCain loses.

Posted by: Liam McKenzie | October 23, 2008, 10:29 pm 10:29 pm
“we will be there to work for you”
does she mean Todd and the kids too? Afterall, the VP’s salary will not come close to covering the lifestyle that Sarah (of the people) seems to love.
She better hope they win because I have a feeling she may be impeached if she loses and goes back to Alaska.

What I don’t get is how Palin claims she is pro America when her Husbands club want’s Alaska to become it’s own country because they have their own oil. Here is the kicker. Palin took 300 million for that bridge to nowhere but then when they canceled the project instead of her returning our tax payer dollars she kept all of it and used it for other pet projects. Remember they claim they want to be separate but they welcome our tax dollars. Here’s the rub, the oil they pump out of the ground they divy up the profits and give each Alaskan a piece of the profit. Not all Americans only Alaskans because it is their oil profits. What happened to “one America” it sounds like one America plus Alaska we got ours go get yours somewhere else. The reason they can pay Alaskans so much in dividends is because they sell most of that oil to China. Think about this. If this isn’t socialism I don’t know what is. What is Sarah Palins hidden agenda? If she was President she
would move the nations capitol to Ancorige Alaska. Both her and McCain think Washington is a bad pocket of America.

On the morning of 11/5, Sarah Palin will be an old washed-up politician. How the American people could ever, EVER, trust this woman in the White House after her miserably pathethic performance on the national stage to date, is beyond imagination. But yet, the American people did vote for “W” twice so anything is possible. I just really don’t want to be around to live it should it ever EVER occur. There are far more respectable and knowledgeable Republicans to run in 2012 than Sarah Palin.
Obama/Biden 2008!!!! Real change!

Why is it SOCIALISM to level the playing field and give tax relief to the middle class, but it’s PATRIOTIC to shift the tax burden to the people who can least afford it, in order to make the rich richer? Twisted!

I think these people that are yelling “socialist” are mentally deficient. Unless they are hugely wealthy they are the RECIPIENT of the wealth spreading, not the donors. I guess people think that roads, public schools, student loans for college & emergency services just kinda show up or that the taxes from their pitiful $40,000 per year jobs pays for all of that.

We are ready to re-distribute that wealth back the 95% of the population. Travis–Obviously that poll is really twisted.

I would a lot rather that Palin guarantee to give some answers on things. Things like:
1) Why she claimed two dozen times in speeches that she “killed” the bridge to nowhere project when that has since been PROVEN to be untrue.
2) Why her husband was a member of the Alaska Independence Party – a SECESSIONIST organization – and why she herself taped a video welcome for one of their meetings.
3) Why Alaska taxpayers should have to pay for her kids’ travel and accomodations, when they are serving no official function in the governor’s travels.
4) Why Palin left the bustling town of Wasilla (population 6000) 20 million in debt.
5) Why – if she’s such a reformer – the RNC has spent 150,000 dollars on clothes for her and her family since August. That’s more than Joe the Plumber spends on clothes for his family in HIS WHOLE LIFE.
6) Why Todd Palin used the governor’s office to pursue a personal vendetta against Trooper Wooten. Did Sarah Palin not realize that that was unethical, or did she not care?
7) What she meant when she told Katie Couric that Putin’s head came popping into Alaska airspace, or whatever nonsense it was she spewed.
8) Why she attended 6 colleges in 5 years – or maybe it was 5 colleges in 6 years – to get her journalism degree. Was it that hard for her?
9) Why she asked the Wasilla librarian about having books removed from the library. Then, when the librarian demurred, why she sought to have the librarian removed from the library.
Guarantee us some answers on those questions, Palin. Then we’ll see about Pennsylvania.

Naming Palin as VP is by far the smartest thing McCain has done during this campaign. She has more executive experience than Senator Government and Joe the Six Term Senator combined, she connects with people on a personal level, and she has rejuvenated the entire party. Go Sarah!

SOME OF PALIN’S ACCOMPLISHMENTS. The budget she handled makes Obama’s campaign money look like small change. PLUS: Vetos, budget cuts, earmark fighting – Just what the Country needs.
What’s OBAMA’s record? I don’t mean hope, I mean RECORD – what’s he done that he is willing to make public?
————————————-
In June 2007, Palin signed a record $6.6 billion operating budget into law.[84] At the same time, she used her veto power to make the second-largest cuts of the construction budget in state history. The $237 million in cuts represented over 300 local projects, and reduced the construction budget to $1.6 billion.[85] In 2008, Palin vetoed $286 million, cutting or reducing funding for 350 projects from the FY09 capital budget.[86]

She is preparing for 2012 and she is completely delusional. Since her debut at the RNC she has been shrill, nasty and mean. Spreading outrageous lies day after day even after they’ve been disputed and proven as lies,inarticulate, ethically challenged and still in throes of troopergate, used Alaska’s taxpayer money to fly her kids around the country & have them stay in luxury hotels, pandering to joe sixpack while wearing $150,000 in clothing,makeup and hair styling services, used divisive rhetoric (pro America/anti-America). She is a slimy, nasty snake. She is a malignant narcisscist and psychopath. Does she think anyone outside of her robotic base will forget any of this?????

Pubs simply refuse to acknowledge that John McCain SUPPORTED the EXACT SAME tax structure in 2000. The same one we had under Clinton. Was is “socialsm then?” No. And actually our country was much better off than it is now.
IN McCAIN’S OWN WORDS:
“Here’s what I really believe, that when you are — reach a certain level of comfort, there’s nothing wrong with paying somewhat more.”
AND
“I cannot in good conscience support a tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us at the expense of middle class Americans who most need tax relief,”
FREAKIN HYPOCRITE!
And Palin does nothing but read prepard speeches. She’s a figurehead without any actual knowledge about what she speaks about. That is SCARY!

Palin speaks of the need to help those with disabilities. The questions the media should be asking are : How many people with disabilities has she hired in the Governor’s office in Alaska and has her administration set employment targets in her Government for those with disabilites? Or is her support all lip service?

spmat: read below – let me know if you need anything else.
As a state senator in Illinois from 1997 to 2004, Obama gained bipartisan support for legislation reforming ethics and health care laws.
He sponsored a law increasing tax credits for low-income workers, negotiated welfare reform, and promoted increased subsidies for childcare.
In 2001, as co-chairman of the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, Obama supported the governor’s payday loan regulations and predatory mortgage lending regulations aimed at averting home foreclosures.
In 2003, Obama sponsored and led unanimous, bipartisan passage of legislation to monitor racial profiling and legislation making Illinois the first state to mandate videotaping of homicide interrogations. That’s saved the state and cities in IL millions in wrongful incarceration lawsuits, stopped murderers from walking free because the cops tortured confessions out of them or the wrong suspects, and kept innocent people off death row.
In January 2003, Obama became chair of the Illinois Senate’s Health and Human Services Committee. In his 2004 campaign, police representatives credited Obama for his active engagement with police organizations in enacting death penalty reforms.
Obama has sponsored 136 bills in Congress since becoming a U.S. Senator. He has co-sponsored 619. I think 16 of those bills and 71 amendments became law.
In January 2007, Obama wrote along with Tom Coburn (R-OK) the Honest Government and Open Leadership Act, which was signed into law.
He introduced the Iraq War De-Escalation Act in 2007. That became the bill congress passed and Bush vetoed.
He later sponsored an amendment to the Defense Authorization Act adding safeguards for personality disorder military discharges. PTSD and especially TBI are serious wounds that must be treated. IEDs cause a lot of tramatic brain injuries that are hard to diagnose that the military was doing it’s best to ignore.
He sponsored the Iran Sanctions Enabling Act supporting divestment of state pension funds from Iran’s oil and gas industry and co-sponsored legislation to reduce risks of nucelar terrorism.
He also sponsored a Senate amendment to the State Children’s Health Insurance Program providing one year of job protection for family members caring for soldiers with combat-related injuries.
Obama has served on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Environment and Public Works Committee and Veteran’s Affairs Committee. He currently also serves on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee. He is chair of the subcommittee on European Affairs.

I’ve been watching and reading about all the election coverage from a land far far away, Australia. The country is massively interested in the election as it has a large impact on our country as well. For example, our troops are in Iraq and our economy is shattererd as is America’s. When big decisions are made in America, there is a trickle effect down to our land. I haven’t spoken to anyone who can take Sarah Palin, and to a lesser degree John Mccain seriously. We can’t believe the polls may just be as close as some people have them. The fact that in all their rallies they spend more time crying anti-Obama messages rather then “this is what WE can do” is so dissapointing. Their whole campaign is built around negativity and Barack’s is built around positive change. We can only pray that the results go the way we’d like them to in a couple of weeks. Vote well America!!

Markist or Socialist which ever agenda this GOP ticket is trying to sell to America won’t fly. They are doing the same thing Bush did in 2000 and 2004. Accusing the other side of doing what they are guilty off to confuse the public and take their eye off the facts. So far we have seen Palin come under fire for corruption in her state, yet she accuses Obama of not being Patriotic. MaCain was part of the 1988 S&L scandal yet he accuses Obama of not telling everything.

(According to the Constitution, only “natural born citizens” have the right to run for the presidency.”) The senator bases his eligibility claim on the fact that he was (1) born on a military base in the Panama Canal Zone at a time when it was effectively under U.S. sovereignty and (2) both of his parents were U.S. citizens.

What a refreshing speech that was. She realizes we’re hiring them to do a job, and I’m with her! She speaks sense and lots of it. How Obama could have chosen that empty headed and motor mouthed Biden is a mystery. No, it was because he was trying to strengthen his ticket in the area he was found wanting. Foreign policy experience. That’s what Barack needed to supplement. Let’s see, the top of the ticket is lacking experience, but the cry against Palin, second in command, is that she is lacking experience. And that old McCain, he’s so decrepit he’s going to die any minute, and then what? Then Sarah Palin finds someone to round out the ticket, to give it some gravitas, like Obama did. We can only hope she would do better at choosing a VP than Barack did.

Barack Obama is no friend of Pennsylvania. First he explains our small-town Pennsylvanian faith and self-defense values as “because they are bitter, so they cling to their guns and religion and antipathy towards people who are not like them to explain their anger.” Then he claims the first computer was invented by a bunch of government scientists in the second Presidential debate, when in fact it’s common American knowledge, at least to Americans, that the ENIAC was invented by a bunch of scientists from our University of Pennsylvania. Now he’s saying John McCain only cares about Joe the Hedge Fund Manager and Joe the CEO… baloney. Obama campaign spin and talking points. It’s not John McCain coddling Tony Rezko, Franklin Reines, and Jim Johnson, is it? Never mind Joe the Quarterback Joe Namath… Pennsylvania is home to Joe the Quarterback Joe Montana, too. The only thing Barack Obama knows about us is contempt for us.

Took a solvent town of 6000 and left it $22 million in debt
Had to hire a ciry administrator to run a tiny town that had no police, fire, schools, or social service in it’s jurisdiction.
She took more EARMARKS per capita than any other Governor in America (more than Obama did)Queen of Pork.
During her short stint as Governor she has also:
Been found guilty of Abusing her Power
Violated the Codes of Ethics
Miappropriated public funds and then tried to cover it up by changing her expense reports
Allowed her unelected husband to use the office of the Gov to settle personal debts
And made a complete ass of herself on national TV anytime she has not had note cards that told her what to say.

Sarah Palin is the only real hope for the Republican party, and the far left liberals know this and fear what she is capable of achieving. Which explains why the corrupt mainstream media vilifies her to such a degree. The political process in this country is broken, as evidenced by the Obama campaign, and it’s time we Americans stop accepting this and demand a higher standard. And, when Sarah Palin is sworn in as the first female president in our nations history in 2012, she will bring honesty, integrity and common sense back to the table. She will not accept the status quo, bringing the real change to Washington that the ‘false prophet’ Obama failed to deliver. America will then have a president in office for the first time since 1980 that truly cares about the people, and the values that once made this country so great. Palin for President – 2012

Palin goes down in history as THEE worst VP pick ever. Palin gives us all something to talk about in 2012 as the media will report “you will remember back in 08 when John McCain chose an unknown by the name of Sarah Palin as his VP choice and in doing so lost the election”.

Sarah is more qualified than the other three put together. She has been in public office since 1992, the year Bill Clinton was elected President. If she was really a dingbat or lunatic, she would have been turned out of office long ago, instead of being the most popular governor in the country.
I am going to love watching the eye-bugging, purple-faced rage on the faces of all my liberal co-workers when Sarah and McCain win by 40 electoral votes and a popular-vote majority.

* Palin wants to put washingtons checkbook on line and failed to realize it already was
* Palin claims she did nothing wrong while Governor yet was found to have voilated ethics laws and now the investigation has widened into other ethic violations
* Palin said she supported states defining what a marriage was and then signs on to supporting a federal constitutional amendment that would prevent them from doing so
* And now she guarantees winning in a state where McCain is down by double digits
The only guarantee is that when this woman speaks, the truth is going to be the opposite of whatever she says, and in November when she is shipped back to Alaska, she might not have a job to go back to.

Sarah Palin is brand new to the ‘Washington’ scene, and considering that these clowns have brought us to the brink of ruin, that is not a negative. Is she well schooled in the typical political ‘double talk’? Again, no, but is that a negative? Do you enjoy listening to these politicians talk for 15 minutes and say absolutely nothing, Obama included? If you are honest people, which is difficult for the kool aid drinkers out there, you must agree that the biased media has gone overboard in attempts to smear her. And that’s fine, if they took the same approach with all the candidates, but they don’t! Did you see any hoopla about M. Obama eating lobster and Iranian cavier? Has anyone questioned her wardrobe expenses? The media wants to focus on what Gov Palin wears and ignores significant signs of a campaign funding scandal in Obama’s campaign…Bottom line is, you can shout from the roof tops that Palin is not qualified, however, that doesn’t make it so. Obama’s resume is thinner, but noone wants to acknowledge that because he can deliver a smooth line. She has more integrity and a stronger sense of self that Barack Obama could ever hope to have. She not only is qualified to be the V.P., she is more qualified that the ‘False Prophet’ to be president. My only challenge is to survive the next four years, while I watch the Islamic extremists dance in the streets in the Middle East celebrating Obama’s victory. Then, I will have my turn to dance in the street celebrating her first term as President of the United States. Sarah Palin for President 2012!

If you watch her rallies, it’s clear she’s campaigning for herself and not McCain. I don’t think she cares whether she wins this term or not, I think she’s setting the stage for her to run at the top of the list in 2012. She talks much about herself, very little about her running mate. Seems her intentions are to stab McCain in the back. Just one more reason why she would make a very scary vice president, especially since she doesn’t even know what her duties are.

It’s a wonder, after all evidence, that people think that they can vote themselves to prosperity like Obama promises while speaking out of one side of his mouth. The reality is what’s coming out of the other side – he and his redistribution pals will steal all your money and make it disappear. Just like he’s done his whole carreer.
A guy who votes every chance he has had, to raise taxes, isn’t going to suddenly change. The only change anyone will see if Obama is elected, will be the kind of change that brought on the great depression. Full-blown govt. Getting involved alright. Taking control. Of everything. And messing it up as usual. The next thing you know, it will take a war to get us out of the mess. And his idiot running mate is already telegraphing that move.
You think the democrats screwed us with the housing and financial market meltdowns – and where was their desire to regulate then? Wait till you see what they do with the health industry and energy.
We’ll be longing for the days of Jimmy Carter if we ever get an Obama administration.

– Do you enjoy listening to these politicians talk for 15 minutes and say absolutely nothing, Obama included? –
I’ll have to admit, that in all the election cycles I’ve been through, Obama is the first in a long time that actually gives articulate and specific answers to most questions. McCain on the other hand is just like all others, giving grand speeches about change without any details about those changes. His tax plan mirrors that of Bush, but with additional cuts. His health plan mirrors that Bush proposed in 2007 in his state of the union speech. His energy policy again mirrors that of Bush. His foreign policy is Bushs since McCain was one of the primary people who shaped Bushs foreign policy stance. Change? I don’t see it, and wasn’t that Obamas slogan from the beginning, which then McCain usurped once Obama started taking him in the polls? Only change I see if McCain took office would be the name on the door and a guy who is a little older and stupider. Not exactly the kind of change most people were looking for.

New Mexico Incident Highlights Republican Suppression Scheme
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — After the New Mexico Republican Party claimed Thursday that fraudulent voters—including some registered to vote by ACORN—participated in the June, 2008 Democratic primary, ACORN contacted some of the voters Republicans said were bogus.
ACORN presented its findings Saturday morning during press conference at ACORN’s New Mexico headquarters.
The voters that the Republicans named in their press conference on Thursday were quickly reached by ACORN Thursday night. They include three 18 and 19-year-olds and a new citizen, all first-time voters. Their legitimacy was confirmed by the Bernalillo County Clerk.
All confirmed that they voted in the June primary and expressed outrage that the Republican Party is targeting them.

It seems we have become comfortable with the fear that Bush has been feeding you these eight years. That is sad. That fear replaced the intellectual ability of this country. That fear gutted our responsible action that would have prevented our situation now. That fear robbed us of our very souls as Americans. We should never have been fearful. We should never have let our politicians tell us what to fear.
To fight a lie is to engage the lie. The Republicans have no standard of truth. They are well aware that if they are able to engage a conversation about the lies they speak they validate the lies they speak. It is much like the abusive husband. The facts mean nothing…sling enough mud against the wall and hope some of it sticks. The sad fact is these are simple tactics from a group of people that think the average American is simple. The carnival is in town…and we the populous…we are the freak show.

Last week, the conservative blogs report rumors that McCain internal polling is showing PA to be winnable.
Next, Rendell publicly begs Obama to get his tail end back in PA to fight for the state.
Then, the LA Times reports an accidentally disclosed Obama email reporting that Dem internal polling only has Obama up by two.
Now, with what I am sure was McCain campaign approval, Broadway Sarah rather boldly predicts a win in the Keystone State.
With this background in a state Kerry only won by a little over 140,000 votes and Obama lost badly to Hillary Clinton, does anyone here really believe the silly media polling that Obama is leading here by double digits?

I’m getting tired of these “Joe the Plumber” business examples. I mean really McCain\Palin, how many small businesses are out there that are making OVER $250K in net profits per year?? And what about those businesses that are smaller and not making that much per year? All of those under $250K are the ones that WILL get a tax break under Barack Obama. And John McCain you are offerring nothing to those businesses, and Obama is. So those smaller businesses would actually be given an economic boost (reduction in taxes) so they CAN expand. And the middle class will get a small cut so they will have more money to spend at those small businesses under Obama. So how Mr. McCain are you really going to help the small “Joe the Plumber” type businesses exactly?? Exactly, you are lying again!! and distorting the truth and confusing people on what your tax policy (just the same as Bush’s) is really going to give people.

For all those who are buying into the ‘false prophets’ mantra of change, why not go to Chicago and ask around about how much reform he brought to a long standing corrupt political machine. And he had opportunities! He is running on rhetoric and personality, tapping into the American public’s shallowness and the basic human desire for change for the better. And so many are buying into this strategy, falling for his flashy smile and smooth delivery. This country continues to go down the wrong path, just as we continue to drift away from the very values that made this a once great land. Coincident? Having only put one individual in the White House since 1980, the Democrats will resort to anything (ACORN) to change that.

My opinion is that people who vote for Obama are either black or losers who are not able to make money. Sorry, but this is my explanation that people defend their vote for an unexperienced Illinois senator and a Biden who jumps on bandwagons. I cannot take in serious arguments that a person would be too old or that a studied woman would be stupid on the basis of lousy interviews where the interviewer is even more dumb than the interviewed. The ethnic minorities and those who had been oppressed over centuries are trying to take over power now. These elections aren’t about logical arguments anymore (what would be better for the economy) but only about hurt feelings. Because from the logical point of view, an elder person with experience would always be the best choice. But those who had been oppressed are full of hatred and all this comes out now with a black presidential candidate.

Obama’s tax plan is a socialist attempt at wealth distribution at best, and state run welfare at worst. So many US company’s go overseas because America has the second highest tax rate for businesses, which means lost jobs here. And, when Obama raises thier taxes, do you think they will pay? No way, you and I will in higher prices, and lost jobs through expense cutbacks.

You have MSNBC/CNN/ABC all the Liberal Mainstream media leading you to belive this race is not close. Fact is this race is within 2 points right now and if you don’t want to believe it that is fine. Saty home on Nov 4th Obama does not need your vote he is up by 10-12 points according to your liberal media. Fact is in almost every poll the undecided voters are between 8-13% which is not a good sign for Obama. Like I said before if Obama does what he did during the primary’s he polls great, but his actual margin of victory was much lower. If we have 12% undecided at this late stage I would be very concerned. As for me I love where McCain is sitting right now, and will love it more on Election Night when MSNBC and the other Liberal Media are wondering how it happened!

You are on welfare and you can’t afford a TV, what a cool argument to vote for Obama, how about making your own money rather than to have Obama take it from the rich who have worked for their money?
I had to pay for my studies on my own and I even renounced voluntarily on a TV for my studies, I would not want an Obama take money from the rich and give it to me, I want to make it on my own.

What I don’t get is what a monumental tool Obama is making of every sheep with a shred of liberal in them or even remote distrust of Bush. Speak about tossing money down and buying an election, what do you goofs think Obama is doing with his over half a Billion dollars thus far in financing and the liberal media blowing wind at his back. You would elect Charles Manson if he told you he was going to wave a magic wand and fix everything much like Obama is doing. Simply if he ran on the Dem ticket. You obviously are all voting to get your taxes increased and have the country run by someone who won’t give a hoot about security on top of it.
You follow the lead of the liberal media who makes you think what they want you to.
You are about to elect a VERY radical person who is going to flip flop on 99% of what he promised you (because it’s not realistic) the minute he secures the White House. And four years later when your bitching about your taxes and how those promises weren’t fulfilled then you might rethink.
A wise notion would be to think for yourself and realize a well laid out speech and pandering to you promising you the moon is not how things will get better.
This guy is Not MLK jr.
You want your taxes through the roof and broken promises? Elect Obama and don’t say you weren’t warned.
Posted by: Steve | October 24, 2008, 12:10 am 12:10 am
Obama’s tax plan is a socialist attempt at wealth distribution at best, and state run welfare at worst. So many US company’s go overseas because America has the second highest tax rate for businesses, which means lost jobs here. And, when Obama raises thier taxes, do you think they will pay? No way, you and I will in higher prices, and lost jobs through expense cutbacks.

No one needs to twist Palin’s words — she hangs herself with them loud and clear. She is clearly unqualified and if she had a working brain she would admit it returning home. McCain has shown he’s clearly incompetent and if he had two working brain cells he’s admit it and go home too. What a waste of natural resources those two are!

What I have noticed most about the Palin/McCain supporters…they are a hateful group of people.

Having simplistic understanding of history and limited compassion for others is a forewarning of more dire straits than we are already facing.

It seems we have become comfortable with the fear that Bush has been feeding you these eight years. That is sad. That fear replaced the intellectual ability of this country. That fear gutted our responsible action that would have prevented our situation now. That fear robbed us of our very souls as Americans. We should never have been fearful. We should never have let our politicians tell us what to fear.
To fight a lie is to engage the lie. The Republicans have no standard of truth. They are well aware that if they are able to engage a conversation about the lies they speak they validate the lies they speak. It is much like the abusive husband. The facts mean nothing…sling enough mud against the wall and hope some of it sticks. The sad fact is these are simple tactics from a group of people that think the average American is simple. The carnival is in town…and we the populous…we are the freak show.

Hey lkinopfl:
Next time you go out to eat tell your waiter or waitress that you are not going to tip them. Tell them that instead of giving them the money they earned waiting on you that you are going to redistribute the wealth hard to somebody who you feel deserves or needs it more. Let me know how the waiter or waitress reacts to that! I dont think they will be too happy do you! Well this is exactly what Obama wants to do. I do not give a crap if somebody makes 1 Million or 250K or 50K a year, NOBODY has the right to tell me I have to give my hard earned money to others! Last time I checked this was the United States of America not Europe!
Posted by: chuck | October 24, 2008, 12:19 am 12:19 am
If Obama is elected the dow will go to 5000, and employers begin massive layoffs. See Drudge and Rush websites. They will need $$ to pay for the new wealth distribution plan of Mr Obama. Fellow Americans, you have been had by the supposed “free and Unbiased” press in America. Obama will ruin our country, our economy and our freedoms. Remember when the dems were so worried about first amendment rights under the Patriot Act? Anyone have their email invaded? Well they plan on enacting the Fairness Doctrine as soon as there in power, removing shows like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity from the airwaves. Why? So you can’t hear an opposing view. You saw a classic example of propaganda on CNN last night with the Sarah Palin interview. Took a quote from Byron Yorks article completely out of context. Mislead all the viewers..on purpose. Remember they will have control of the Congress and soon the Supreme Court. Get ready for France like socialism.

Sarah Palin is brand new to the ‘Washington’ scene, and considering that these clowns have brought us to the brink of ruin, that cannot be seen as a negative. Is she well schooled in the typical political ‘double talk’? Again, no, but is that a negative? Do you enjoy listening to these politicians talk for 15 minutes and say absolutely nothing, Obama included? If you are an honest person, which is difficult for all you kool aid drinkers, you must agree that the biased media has gone overboard in attempts to smear her, which would be fine if they took the same approach with all the candidates, but they don’t! Did you see any hoopla about M. Obama eating lobster and Iranian cavier? Has anyone questioned her wardrobe expenses? The media wants to focus on what Gov Palin wears and ignores significant signs of a campaign funding scandal in Obama’s campaign…Bottom line is, you can shout from the roof tops that Palin is not qualified, however, that doesn’t make it so. Obama’s resume is thinner, but noone wants to acknowledge that because he can deliver a smooth line. She has more integrity and a stronger sense of self that Barack Obama could ever hope to have. She not only is qualified to be the V.P., she is more qualified that the ‘False Prophet’ to be president. My only challenge is to survive the next four years, while I watch the Islamic extremists dance in the streets in the Middle East celebrating Obama’s victory. Then, I will have my turn to dance in the street celebrating her first term as President of the United States. Sarah Palin for President 2012!

What nerve Sarah Palin has calling Obama’s proposals socialistic. Alaska is a hotbed of socialism for Republicans, subsidized by the US taxpayers. Alaska receives 1.8 dollars in federal spending for every dollar it pays in taxes. On top of that, with Palin’s full support, the state increased taxes on oil companies and distributes some of the money in checks for several thousand dollars to each resident.

Why in the world was she picked???? because she’s pretty? wow. how embaressing. so now she is open prey for everyone who values a brain and you know, they’re right.

For all those who are buying into the ‘false prophets’ mantra of change, why not go to Chicago and ask around about how much reform he brought to a long standing corrupt political machine. And he had opportunities! He is running on rhetoric and personality, tapping into the American public’s shallowness and the basic human desire for change for the better. And so many are buying into this strategy, falling for his flashy smile and smooth delivery. Having only put one individual in the White House since 1980, the Democrats will resort to anything (ACORN, Campaign funding scandal, corrupt media) to change that. But, that same corruption that is in your favor today may very well go agaist you and your family tomorrow. Wake up!

Somehow everyone seems to overlook that Sarah Palin has many years of governing experience. She most likely has a higher security clearance than Barack Obama. She manages 29,000 employees. She runs an $11 Billion dollar state. She is the Commander in Chief of the Alaska National Guard. She governs a state rich in natural resources and has substantial experience in oil and natural gas. She runs a state with one of the largest security installations (HAARP) located in it.
She’s no lightweight and she is no dingbat. Those of you who write her off do so at the risk of laughing at someone who will prove to be a great natural communicator and have a very successful political career.
Obama is a junior senator from IL who spent 2, that’s T W O, for those of you numerically challenged, years in the senate before beginning his run for Messiah, um, President.
You do not know the truth of Barack Hussein Obama. And when you learn it, you shall not be quite so besotted as you are now.

keep reaching…vote for mccain/palin if you will…and for you that said ‘president obama’ will never come out of my lips…i think i speak for majority of obama supporters when i say…who gives a ‘flying moose’ if you can take another 4 years of this horrid administration…of course a continuation of it anyway…then vote republican…you know your situation better than anyone else…

Yeah, that trickle down stuff worked well didn’t it!
There is a name for people who believe doing the same thing over and over again will somehow bring different results..
And I’m still waiting for someone, anyone to point out the differences between McCain and Bush on any platform issue.. taxes, health care, economy, energy, anything..
The only thing different I see is McCain is actually stupider than Bush, which doesn’t instill any greater confidence in me that he would be better.
But, ignorance runs rampant in this country, and can be evidenced by a lot of the statements by McCain supporters on this blog.

I’ve just finished reading all of the above comments and I am truly concerned for our country. I see racism, intolerance, bigotry, ignorance, and hate. I see people who ignore facts and truth and make up their own reality. I think the media has been far too kind to Sarah Palin. If she aspires to be VP she should have been willing–no eager–to talk to the press and the country from the outset. She should have at least attempted to compensate for her ignorance by trying to learn about the Constitution and our system of government instead of scoffing and jeering at her opponents and anyone who wanted to ask her questions (including the moderator of her one debate). She condemns herself everytime she opens her mouth–all the media has done is report it when it happens. Instead of offering anything positive, she incites fear and bigotry in her speeches and has now spawned other Republican attack dogs who do the same. I always admired Senator McCain until he selected the least qualified Republican woman he could find to be his running mate, ignoring the many distinquished and qualified women leaders in his party. The $150,000 shopping spree should come as no surprise–the Republicans have been extravagantly spending other people’s money for the last 7 1/2 years without any regard for the final price tag or who would pay the bills–what a legacy for your grandchildren!

How about Michelle’s $8000.00 dress and her ordering steamed lobster and Iranian caviar for $300.00 during her stay at the Waldorf-Astoria?
I guess you order that whenever you stay at the Waldorf-Astoria…
What about Michelle saying that a $600.00 stimulas check will buy her one pair of earrings? Did you buy earrings with your stimulas check?
Is there a law that all hockey moms are supposed to buy their wardrobes from Walmart?
Palin makes less money than Obama – who happens to be a millionaire. This is a non-issue – give it a break.

1. McCain isn’t george Bush
2. Obama has never run anything. His education committee spent 100 million on Chicagos poorest schools, with no test score improvement. Why? Because they were teaching the kids Maxist philosophy ala Bill Ayers and some communists that were in that system.
3. Obama never ran anything. Didn’t hold a committee meeting in the senate. Palin ran a town, and a state. I am sure the pregnancy rates, HIV rates and murder rates for Senator Obamas district far exceeds the entire state of Alaska.
4. I will take a moose burger eater over a cocaine user anyday.
5. She isn’t an elitist snob
6, She believes in freedom and the constitution and the flag unlike Obama.
7. She believes if you work hard, you get rewarded.
obama thinks if you work hard you should share the wealth.
8. America didn’t become the greatest nation on the face of the earth by promoting failure,
9, Obama wants to make 12 million illegal immigrants citizens
10. He wants trillions in new spending.
11. He thinks you can talk with muslim zealots who describe Israel as a rotting corpse.

Bottom line is, you can shout from the roof tops that Palin is not qualified, however, that doesn’t make it so. Obama’s resume is thinner, but noone wants to acknowledge that because he can deliver a smooth line. She has more integrity and a stronger sense of self that Barack Obama could ever hope to have. She not only is qualified to be the V.P., she is more qualified that the ‘False Prophet’ to be president. My only challenge is to survive the next four years, while I watch the Islamic extremists dance in the streets in the Middle East celebrating Obama’s victory. Then, I will have my turn to dance in the street celebrating her first term as President of the United States. Sarah Palin for President 2012!

The fact that Joe the Plumber, around whom John McCain is building his last campaign stand, made use of welfare several times could really backfire on McCain once the news that Joe the Plumber was a grateful welfare recipient breaks.
Joe the Plumber admitted on FOX, no less, that he’s been on welfare — his parents “a couple different times.” The hosts quickly try to guide the discussion away from Joe’s welfare days because they are so focused on hammering Obama’s “share the wealth” message.
Does Joe not know welfare comes from taxes? Does he not feel any responsibility to, maybe, repay the favor?
Welfare is to help people get on their feet. I’m glad the program helped Joe and his family; I am not critical that his family needed to use the program. In fact, I am happy it was there to help him and many other Americans. However, Joe’s being upset because he has the potential to go from welfare to $250K/year and he may have to pay an additional $900 to help other families who suffer with health issues or job loss is almost incomprehensible.

We can put Sarah Palin’s wardrobe bill on the front page of the New York Times but we can’t find out about Obama’s true nationality.
We can talk about Cindy McCain but we can’t talk about Barack Obama.

Obama took more Fannie Mae money than anyone.
***
You might want to research that a bit further dear!
Claim: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac gave Obama large campaign contributions, second only to Senator Dodd.
Fact: Partially true but misleading
Reality:
It is true that, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, the second highest recipient of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac contributions is Obama. However, these are from individuals who work for these companies, not the companies themselves (which would be illegal). Top spot is Sen. Chris Dodd with $165,400, with Obama being number two with $126,349. McCain has received $21,500.
http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/09/update-fannie-mae-and-freddie.html
Interestingly, if you look at contributions from Fannie and Freddies boards of directors and lobbyists, who are technically not employees, McCain has received a total of $169,000 and Obama has received $16,000. Combined, McCain has actually received more funding ($190,550) than Obama ($142,349) from these financial giants.

Hawaii governor says nation wouldn’t be safe under Obama (says Obama “touts” he is from Hawaii)
Las Vegas Sun ^
Posted on Friday, October 17, 2008 2:25:39 PM by Chet 99
Echoing the theme of recent John McCain campaign ads that claim Barack Obama associates with terrorists, Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle told a small Henderson audience that in this presidential election “it’s the protection of your families that’s at stake.”
If the choice between the Republican and Democratic nominees is “posed in this fashion,” she said, then voters are “going to say McCain.”
Lingle’s stump speech for McCain attracted only about 60 people to the Henderson Convention Center on Wednesday afternoon — chairs were taken away shortly before she arrived. By contrast, nearly a thousand came to the same venue to hear Mitt Romney speak in August.
Besides mentioning McCain’s history of crossing party lines, Lingle hardly touched on the Arizona senator’s record and instead focused on Obama.
Policy wasn’t mentioned. In fact, she said the two candidates can “talk all they want” about their plans on issues such as health care and energy, but it “really comes down to: Who do you want to be sitting in the White House when it comes down to the security of America?”
McCain’s campaign has come under fire recently for what some have called scare tactics, and McCain was forced to diffuse the fears of his supporters and defend Obama at a recent rally: “He’s a decent family man, citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that’s what this campaign is all about.”
Lingle, though, repeatedly framed the presidential election in terms of the physical safety of Americans and painted Obama as a mysterious figure who is uncomfortable with leadership.
She said voting for Obama would put the safety of the country’s children in the “hands of someone we hardly know.” (She also added that despite Obama’s touting he is from Hawaii, she has never met him and he has “never called me on the phone.”)
Ultimately the country judges the president by how he deals with the unexpected, Lingle said, and Obama “is not a person who will make the tough calls.”

One more point, in response to a recent fundraising letter that was purported to be from Gov. Palin and similar comments above–it is outrageous that anyone could say, suggest, or truly believe that the Democrats or Democratic Congress have caused our country’s current economic crisis–the greatest since the Great Depression. The Democrats have only controlled Congress (and that by a very slim margin) for less than 2 out of the last 14 years. More importantly, the Republicans have controlled the White House and the Executive Branch of our government for almost 8 years–including the Treasury Department, the SEC, the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC, and all other government agencies. Put the blame where it belongs–on the party in power whose leader, John McCain, didn’t even realize the country was in an economic crisis until just a few short weeks ago. Remember?
Republicans constantly try to scare voters by claiming that Democrats will raise taxes and increase spending. But it is the Republicans who plunge this country into debt with out of control spending and who instead of raising the money to pay for what they spend or spending only what they can afford, cut taxes and make their deficits worse.
At least be honest to yourself. Look at what has happened in the last 8 years. Who is better off economically? Are you? I doubt it.
I hope people do stop all the nonsense about Joe the Plumber. Who really thinks they can get the financing in today’s economy to buy or start up a new business. People can’t even get financing to buy a new car.
We’ve seen the best and brightest the Republicans have had to offer to run our government. Now it’s time for a change.

mccain is bush. MCcain believes in supply side economics as w ell. the same economic theory that skyrocketed out debt, deregulated our banks, wallstreet and devalued our dollar are all the EXACT same policies of McCain that were bush. OBama wants to roll back the tax levels for the wealthiest to the levels of REAGAN. Obama believes in the type of ecomomic growth where you give jobs and those jobs fuel the economy. You invest in jobs DIRECTLY INSTANTLY. McCain believes you give HUGE HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of tax subsidies to the most rich, the CEOs of wallstreet and you just HOPE they do something useful with it. But have they???? 8 YEARS we’ve thrown 400 BILLION A YEAR out the window ‘hoping’ for investment injobs…when is it going ot happen???? anyone think to invest in solar panels???no??? any of them invest in electric cars? wind turbines? hydrogen cars??? no???? gee, maybe that was a BAD idea. Look forward to four more with McCain. Yeah, he’s not George Bush. MCain is older a nd doesn’t have the education that Bush does.

JOE BIDEN’S DEBATE LIES
1. TAX VOTE: Biden said McCain voted “the exact same way” as Obama to increase taxes on Americans earning just $42,000, but McCain DID NOT VOTE THAT WAY.
2. AHMEDINIJAD MEETING: Joe Biden lied when he said that Barack Obama never said that he would sit down unconditionally with Mahmoud Ahmedinijad of Iran. Barack Obama did say specifically, and Joe Biden attacked him for it.
3. OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING: Biden said, “Drill we must.” But Biden has opposed offshore drilling and even compared offshore drilling to “raping” the Outer Continental Shelf.”
4. TROOP FUNDING: Joe Biden lied when he indicated that John McCain and Barack Obama voted the same way against funding the troops in the field. John McCain opposed a bill that included a timeline, that the President of the United States had already said he would veto regardless of it’s passage.
5. OPPOSING CLEAN COAL: Biden says he’s always been for clean coal, but he just told a voter that he is against clean coal and any new coal plants in America and has a record of voting against clean coal and coal in the U.S. Senate.
6. ALERNATIVE ENERGY VOTES: According to FactCheck.org, Biden is exaggerating and overstating John McCain’s record voting for alternative energy when he says he voted against it 23 times.
7. HEALTH INSURANCE: Biden falsely said McCain will raise taxes on people’s health insurance coverage — they get a tax credit to offset any tax hike. Independent fact checkers have confirmed this attack is false
8. OIL TAXES: Biden falsely said Palin supported a windfall profits tax in Alaska — she reformed the state tax and revenue system, it’s not a windfall profits tax.
9. AFGHANISTAN / GEN. MCKIERNAN COMMENTS: Biden said that top military commander in Iraq said the principles of the surge could not be applied to Afghanistan, but the commander of NATO’s International Security Assistance Force Gen. David D. McKiernan said that there were principles of the surge strategy, including working with tribes, that could be applied in Afghanistan.
10. REGULATION: Biden falsely said McCain weakened regulation — he actually called for more regulation on Fannie and Freddie.
11. IRAQ: When Joe Biden lied when he said that John McCain was “dead wrong on Iraq”, because Joe Biden shared the same vote to authorize the war and differed on the surge strategy where they John McCain has been proven right.
12. TAX INCREASES: Biden said Americans earning less than $250,000 wouldn’t see higher taxes, but the Obama-Biden tax plan would raise taxes on individuals making $200,000 or more.
13. BAILOUT: Biden said the economic rescue legislation matches the four principles that Obama laid out, but in reality it doesn’t meet two of the four principles that Obama outlined on Sept. 19, which were that it include an emergency economic stimulus package, and that it be part of “part of a globally coordinated effort with our partners in the G-20.”
14. REAGAN TAX RATES: Biden is wrong in saying that under Obama, Americans won’t pay any more in taxes then they did under Reagan.

– now read Obama’s book to find out about your hero’s illegal drug usage! –
We have.. and are hoping that once he becomes president, he would legalize personal possession for such recreational drugs. Unfortunately, Biden would probably violently oppose those measures given his historical position on them. Apparently you have never worked in the courts or seen what the billions of dollars spend on the so called ‘war on drugs’ has done to them. Not only are mandatory drug laws putting citizens in jail for years for simple personal possession, but forcing violent criminals out on the street due to overcrowding, necessitating early release programs. They are overburdening our court system, shifting focus away from real criminals but also neglecting the fact that we have to import hemp into this country because of the draconian laws in place regarding even the commercial growth of a very useful plant for textiles, industry and other economic areas.

“Any self-respecting woman”… the implication being that a conservative woman isn’t self-respecting. Believe ir or not, women can be self-respecting and believe in less government, lower taxes, abortion as a type of murder, gay marriage as something society shouldnt embrace, and Sarah Palin as a decent person trying to achieve in eight weeks what others have taken years to do.
So much for sisterhood, and letting each woman make her own choices and be her own person. Apparently, only women who fit the dem liberal worldview are worthy.
As for smarts – shes got enough to have a gorgeous husband, beautiful kids, a serious job, and to have achieved a position that no woman has held before. If Id known an idiot could have so much/go so far, I could have saved thousands in college loans.

The Republican party is the party of division. The Democratic party is the party of inclusion. The republican party relies on division to win elections. That’s why they always use wedge issues to pit one group of americans against another. They pit black against white, straight vs gay, well off vs struggling american, old vs young, city vs suburb/rural. big cities vs small towns, pro gun vs anti gun, pro life vs pro choice,south vs north etc. That’s the republican playbook, they have to pit us against each other to win and they have become experts at it. Republicans need to foster division in order to stay in power to continue their policies of helping corporations and the wealthy while ignoring struggling americans. It’s up to voters to punish them for ruining our great nation and their behavior of putting corporations and greed over struggling americans.
Unite and work together. Vote Democratic.

3)he told K. Couric that Franklin Roosevelt went on TV in 1929 to tell the American People what was going on with the Great Depression…there was not TV in 1929 and Herbert Hoover was president not FDR,
4)he threatened his own running mate, Obama, if he tried to take any of his guns away,
5)he introduced Obama as ‘Barack America’ at their first rally together,
6)he said he thought his own campaign ad about McCain not using a computer was terrible and said he hadn’t seen it, &
7)he told a crowd that Hillary Clinton would be a better running mate than himself.

Watch a few news clips from WWII of your people kissing our soldiers in the street for the rescue from Hitler. I guess you have a short memory or didn’t hear the cries of gratitude of your countrymen who went before you and didn’t see the tears of joy on their faces.

And the truth is, it’s not possible to have a rational discussion with an irrational mind. Understandable, since even McCain himself cannot defend his positions and can only lash out and attack his opponent in hopes that the less educated might be tricked by his ploy. Such is life.
However, what we are witnessing is history in the making. No time in our history have so many crossed party lines to do what is best for America. Major party officials and even the Chicago Tribune have come out and stand for what is best for this great nation. Something that all should be proud of and can tell their children and grandchildren about for years to come. And should you be standing on the wrong side of history come November, we will not blame you for leaving that little detail out of your story.
Isn’t America great!

Rational Republicans understood that Palin was a dud from when she first opened her mouth and little of intelligence came out. McCain could have dropped her and chosen a capable female Republican VP mate. Unfortunately for McCain the party groupies rallied around the gal and soon it was too late to get Palin off of the ship. I was undecided until Palin was chosen and that interview with Kouric sealed the deal. I prefer McCain but too risky with Palin as VP.

Peggy Noonan characterizes Palin perfectly:
[W]e have seen Mrs. Palin on the national stage for seven weeks now, and there is little sign that she has the tools, the equipment, the knowledge or the philosophical grounding one hopes for, and expects, in a holder of high office. She is a person of great ambition, but the question remains: What is the purpose of the ambition? She wants to rise, but what for? For seven weeks I’ve listened to her, trying to understand if she is Bushian or Reaganite … But it’s unclear whether she is Bushian or Reaganite. She doesn’t think aloud. She just . . . says things.
Her supporters accuse her critics of snobbery: Maybe she’s not a big “egghead” but she has brilliant instincts and inner toughness. But what instincts? “I’m Joe Six-Pack”? She does not speak seriously but attempts to excite sensation—”palling around with terrorists.” If the Ayers case is a serious issue, treat it seriously. She is not as thoughtful or persuasive as Joe the Plumber, who in an extended cable interview Thursday made a better case for the Republican ticket than the Republican ticket has made. In the past two weeks she has spent her time throwing out tinny lines to crowds she doesn’t, really, understand. This is not a leader, this is a follower, and she follows what she imagines is the base, which is in fact a vast and broken-hearted thing whose pain she cannot, actually, imagine. She could reinspire and reinspirit; she chooses merely to excite. She doesn’t seem to understand the implications of her own thoughts.
No news conferences? Interviews now only with friendly journalists? You can’t be president or vice president and govern in that style, as a sequestered figure. This has been Mr. Bush’s style the past few years, and see where it got us. You must address America in its entirety, not as a sliver or a series of slivers but as a full and whole entity, a great nation trying to hold together. When you don’t, when you play only to your little piece, you contribute to its fracturing.
In the end the Palin candidacy is a symptom and expression of a new vulgarization in American politics. It’s no good, not for conservatism and not for the country. And yes, it is a mark against John McCain, against his judgment and idealism.

Posted on Friday, October 17, 2008 2:25:39 PM by Chet 99
Echoing the theme of recent John McCain campaign ads that claim Barack Obama associates with terrorists, Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle told a small Henderson audience that in this presidential election “it’s the protection of your families that’s at stake.”
Posted by: Warlock | October 24, 2008, 1:42 am 1:42 am
Dorothy – I well remember Women’s Lib and to tell you the truth, judging by what I am reading posted by women here on this blog, I think that the Liberation Movement has died a silent death.
I have heard no “feminist” speak up for Hillary Clinton when she was being torn down by the news media, the Obama Camp and his Supporters. By extension, Hillary’s Supporters were also abused. Now, Palin and her Supporters are experiencing the same thing. Again, no support from the so-called “feminists.”
That said, both Hillary and Sarah are each their own woman. They do not need labels or men to tell them what to do or how to do it.
They also do not need permissions from feminists or other women to pursue their career choices. Most of these women and men who are commenting on this blog are no where near as successful as either of these ladies.
There is no comparision between Hillary or Sarah, nor should there be. Hillary is a Democrat, Sarah is a Republican. I never heard Sarah say she would adopt Hillary’s platform and she hasn’t.
Senator Clinton stands for herself, not for Governor Palin.
Governor Palin stands for herself, not for Senator Clinton.
That said, Hillary and Sarah are just as capable and as intelligent as anyone else. Both have a more substantial resume than Obama. They both are far more intelligent and capable of being President than Obama, The Tainted One.
Sarah is not an embarassment. What upsets the Obama Supporters is that she is a threat to Obama. She is not afraid to ask the questions about him that should be asked and to this date, Obama has not directly answered one of them.
Obama and his Supporters knows Governor Palin is more qualified than Obama and they hate her for it, just like they hated Hillary.
It does not say much for them. One wonders what happened to that Hope, Unity and Change mantra they have been chanting all these months.
Hope. Unity. Change. – If it is like this, we don’t want any of it.
PUMA! McCain/Palin 2008 – In lieu of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Hawaii governor says nation wouldn’t be safe under Obama (says Obama “touts” he is from Hawaii)
She said voting for Obama would put the safety of the country’s children in the “hands of someone we hardly know.” (She also added that despite Obama’s touting he is from Hawaii, she has never met him and he has “never called me on the phone.”)
Ultimately the country judges the president by how he deals with the unexpected, Lingle said, and Obama “is not a person who will make the tough calls.”

Fairness? This isn’t a game. This is our country, its safety, its security, its economic viability. This isn’t a student government election–or a Wasilla election. We don’t need, want, or deserve gosh golly gee shucks wink wink and people attacking each other for their gender, race, or religious beliefs. We don’t need someone saying that where I’ve lived for 35 years is Communist country or not “real Virginia” or “real America.”

McCain’s choice of Palin will be used for years to come to caution candidates on their VP’s ability to meet the challenges they will be up against. The biggest benefactor in all of this is Dan Quayle…he is no longer the poster child of a bad VP pick.
The best thing that ever happened for the reputation of Quayle is Sarah Palin and the best thing that ever happened for the reputation of Bill Clinton has been 8 years of G.W. Bush.

” am truly amazed that anyone actually thinks McCain and SheBush actually have a snowballs chance in hell of winning this election. Ferchrissakes, even the GOP has given up on them” …
The IBD/TIPP Poll (which was the most accurate in the last election cycle) shows the race tightening, with McCain pulling up just behind Obama w/1.1% difference. Apparently, unlike other polls which have been oversampling Democrats, IBD/TIPP actually runs a tight methodology.
As of early this week, Obama was pulling 80% of his Dem base, while McCain was still in the low 60%. All McCain has to do is get more of the Rep base to come out and vote and he’s got a shot. While the base might not pull in for McCain (or even Palin), it could certainly pull together against Obama and supermajority of Dems in Congress.
12 days is a long time in politics.

If you are talking about this thread, once again, I invite you to read what is written on it and determine who actually is writing hateful things. I am amazed at your very selective reading ability.
Just so you know, I am prior military and my husband served 28 years in the service. He’s been to a war or two.
We are also democrats, did not vote for Bush, never voted Republican but we will be voting for McCain/Palin.
Oh yeah, we don’t drink kool-aid and I left the “hy” off your name. My bad.
PUMA! McCain/Palin 2008 – In lieu of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

“We will never forget that we’re accountable”
Say it aint so Sarah, there you go again with your lies. The troopergate report said you were GUILTY AS HELL yet you said you were ‘glad’ that it cleared you from any wrong doing. Is that the way Republicans are held accountable? Oh right, I forgot Sarah propably talked about her own report that ‘cleared her self’.
Go back to Alaska you pentecoast freak! You’re Cheney in a dress. We know it, and you know it, everyone knows it.
How about starting to be ‘held accountable’ for the ethical blunders you already made Palin? Dont you have another ethical investigation waiting for you in Alaska?

McCain would have lost even if Palin wasn’t on the ticket. It is not her fault. The Republicans lied to an entire country to go to war in Iraq so their friends could get rich. Can you say oil. Palin needs to go home and take care of her children. Those children should be in school and not on the campaign trail. The oldest two will never go to college.

McCain is insulting everyone’s intelligence by trying to claim that someone can go from being the mayor of Tiny Town to President in two years. The extent of Palin’s education is an undergraduate degree in journalism. No law degree, no MBA, no advanced degrees of any kind. Her knowledge of world and national affairs is abysmal. McCain showed exceedingly bad judgment selecting her when there were many other qualified candidates.
Posted by: Chumley | October 24, 2008, 2:27 am 2:27 am
I think if McCain chose either Huckabee or Romney as VP, he could have made the ticket more competitive. Palin brings too much baggage to the ticket, and we’ve already endured one soap opera with Monica Lewinsky.
And where does she get the idea that she can win PA? I live in PA, and most voters here are Democrat and do NOT like Palin (except maybe the soccer moms, because they can “relate to” Palin — we sure as hell can’t relate to them!) I can guarantee you that McCain will NOT win PA. Pennsylvania is Obama country.
In addition, if McCain pours all his resources in PA and then Election Night comes and he lose either Florida or Virginia, or even North Carolina, this election is finished for McCain and Palin (whether they win PA or not, but they won’t win PA anyway).
Four years ago, when Kerry was running for president, Democrats were scared and frustrated. Bush led Kerry in double digits throughout the election and never looked back. Now the Republicans are the same way, but like Bush said in his acceptance speech in 2000: “This is not the time for third chances.” He could not have been more correct. The GOP does NOT deserve a third chance, and we REFUSE to put a Republican back in the White House as our next president.
Obama/Biden ’08-’12 (yes, they will beat Palin when she runs in 2012).

Sarah if you want to know what the VP of the United States job is. Go to Google.com and type in JOB OF VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES–SEARCH. The job description will come up. Don’t tell 3rd graders that the VP presides over the Senate because if they took a test an marked that answer, it would be incorrect, and they would make a bad score.

Isn’t that the same thing that Gov. Sarah Palin did in Alaska in regards to windfall oil profits tax on big oil Companies which McCain/Palin Campaign has been bragging about for months?
She collected the windfall oil profits tax, then redistributing it to the people of Alaska. Obama has proposed this kind of wealth redistribution; he is a socialist. Sarah Palin redistributed the wealth to Alaskan; she is a hero. You can not have it both ways.

McCain is 73 years old. The average life span for a man in America is 75, and he picks someone for VP he met once two years ago, knowing he has had two or three bouts of cancer. Is this country first. I wouldn’t let someone housesit my dog while I was on vacation if I met them once. Why didn’t you vet her the way Obama vetted Biden? Biden has run for President before. He is ready to be President.

This isn’t Sarah and Joe the Plumber’s fault. It’s about McCain’s judgement, stupid. Just like it’s the economy, stupid. She was living in Alaska minding her own business, not even vying to be VP like Romney and Huckabee. Leave Sarah and Britney alone.

Go away. I’m sick of the sound that comes out when you open your face-hole. Please go back to where you came from, where people appreciate what you’re about. Please stay there, too. You have NO idea what “the lower 48″ is all about.

John McCain, referring to the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, said: “I was on board of the USS Enterprise, I sat in the cockpit, on the flight deck of the USS Enterprise, off Cuba. I had a target. My friends, you know how close we came to a nuclear war.” Then, he went on and said “America will not have a president who needs to be tested. I’ve been tested, my friends.” You have been tested? Hummm! Let’s see! You, Sir, were in the Oval Office at that time presiding over the negotiation with the Russians. Right! In other words, you were the Commander in Chief with the authority to call all the shots. I would say that President John F. Kennedy was the one who was tested. Not the other John. Not you John McCain. Sir, in this case, you have not been tested yet. Therefore, you have no scars to prove that you have been tested! Do you? I think the “Straight Talk Express”, John McCain, has some explanations to do to the American people. It’s RIDICULOUS.

What all you “pinko” degenerates need is time away from your T.V.s long enough to stop “chattering” without thought and identify the motivation behind your thoughts which is your own needy little mind-set that just can’t wait to get your government handouts so you don’t have to earn your living like the rest of us hard working taxpayers.
Remember every red cent that is handed out by our government was actually earned by some honest, hard working citizen. I can’t remember where it was ever written that we are to carry the less fortunate on our backs. Seems to me we have individual responsibilities to take care of ourselves and our own family and friends. If you “pinkos” ever gave capitalism an opportunity to work without BIG government meddling, you would see the real benefits of CHARITY by the very people O’bama wants to punish by spreading their alleged wealth.
You are all victims of brainwashing and have been bamboozled by an Islamic Marxist and a 30+ year professional? moron of a politician and the unquestionable radical extremist Communist and Islamic financial support and endorsements.
Give your mind, if you happen to have one, an opportunity to rest long enough to see that you and your ilk have sold your soul to the devil and are willing to destroy America by selling out and putting O’sama O’bama in a position to become President of the greatest country in the world with his radical concept of change – to “spread the wealth”.
At the same time, you also need to check your moral compass (assuming you can find it) and ask your selves how can you possibly support a politician who supports the murder of 45-50 million “innocent” unborn children every year in America (“land of the free”?).
Go ahead, have a great night’s sleep.
If you are not sleeping all that well, set aside your Marxist Manifesto long enough to get up and read the Constitution of the United States.
If that doesn’t help you find your lost soul, may I suggest you pick up a copy of a Bible because you are going to want to find it before its lost for an eternity of damnation.

After seeing the two losers in an interview the other night, it occurred to me…not only is John McCain trying to get the Bush stink off of him, now it looks like he’s miserable sitting next to Bobblehead Palin. Whenever she starts talking you can see him grinding his jaw. Gee Grampa, maybe you shoulda stuck with someone you knew as a running mate. Darnit, too late now.

John McCain’s actual quotes about his economic knowledge:……….”I’m going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated.” …………..”The issue of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should.”………….After mentioning the ability of a potential running mate to replace the president, McCain said, “You also look for people who maybe have talents you don’t, or experience or knowledge you don’t, as well.” “What are those qualities that you don’t – that you wouldn’t mind complementing?” McCain paused. “Uh, maybe I shouldn’t say this, but, somebody who’s really well grounded in economics.”……………….So who did McCain pick as a running mate? Sarah Palin the journalism major. So much for picking someone “really well grounded in economics”. Palin is an excellent example of how McCain would choose people for important cabinet posts: impulsively, almost recklessly, select people not for their qualifications, but instead select people who will pander to specific special interest groups.

Katsolera:
“So what, I was born in Central America to an American father, so my birth certificate says “American Citizen Born Abroad”….plus, Barack Obama released his birth certificate in June of 2008, but stupid people started saying it was a forgery, so stop just repeating nonsense and focus on the face that McCain is going to lose and los BAD.”
You missed the point that there are extenuating circumstances for an “American Citizen Born Abroad” issued by an American consulate. Moreover, Obama claims he was born in Hawaii. In addition, there is no certificate to state an “American Citizen Born Abroad” and that time limit is long passed. The issuance of a birth certificate in 2007 makes Obama about a 1-year-old. There is no record of a life birth.

Echoing the theme of recent John McCain campaign ads that claim Barack Obama associates with terrorists, Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle told a small Henderson audience that in this presidential election “it’s the protection of your families that’s at stake.”
If the choice between the Republican and Democratic nominees is “posed in this fashion,” she said, then voters are “going to say McCain.”
Lingle’s stump speech for McCain attracted only about 60 people to the Henderson Convention Center on Wednesday afternoon — chairs were taken away shortly before she arrived. By contrast, nearly a thousand came to the same venue to hear Mitt Romney speak in August.
Besides mentioning McCain’s history of crossing party lines, Lingle hardly touched on the Arizona senator’s record and instead focused on Obama.
Policy wasn’t mentioned. In fact, she said the two candidates can “talk all they want” about their plans on issues such as health care and energy, but it “really comes down to: Who do you want to be sitting in the White House when it comes down to the security of America?”
McCain’s campaign has come under fire recently for what some have called scare tactics, and McCain was forced to diffuse the fears of his supporters and defend Obama at a recent rally: “He’s a decent family man, citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues and that’s what this campaign is all about.”
Lingle, though, repeatedly framed the presidential election in terms of the physical safety of Americans and painted Obama as a mysterious figure who is uncomfortable with leadership.
She said voting for Obama would put the safety of the country’s children in the “hands of someone we hardly know.” (She also added that despite Obama’s touting he is from Hawaii, she has never met him and he has “never called me on the phone.”)
Ultimately the country judges the president by how he deals with the unexpected, Lingle said, and Obama “is not a person who will make the tough calls.”

Wow, I can’t believe the things that I have just read. This election is definitely out of control. I can’t believe that blacks are again referred to as “colored” and whites are being referred to as “hunkies”. What happened to respecting each other and their differences. As American citizens we have a right to vote for the candidate of our choice. That doesn’t make one group more responsible than the other. If this nonsense doesn’t stop I fear for what might happen on November the 5th when the electon is over. The candidates must stop spreading hatred and try to bring everyone together. It is okay to disagree without being nasty to each other. No wonder children are being so rude and disrespectful. What a poor example we are showing them.

Night night, CaptainJack. I sleep just fine. It’s too bad your party (NAZIS?) didn’t have a better candidate to run this time around. I can understand your frustration. Sadly, your only response is to kick around wordy political rhetoric to make yourself sound intelligent. Slapping a label on people who just might want a different way of living in this country is childish. You probably believe anyone who opposes the war is not patriotic. Why is it that folks like you are the ones waving the banner of democracy when the voting goes your way, but you get all hateful at the american citizens who are willing to try a different way? Then we’re suddenly “pinkos.”
BTW, if there’s ANYONE in this country who desperately needs a copy of the Constitution , it’s Sarah Palin. Seriously, what the ef? She’s making things up as she goes. Yeah, I get that you’re really mad. But don’t beat on people and call them names just because they’re tired of the same old crap. Change can be a good thing sometimes. And when it comes to money and people, what’s so wrong with letting the top of the heap help the bottom out for a little while? They’ve been sucking on the teet for long enough. They had the tax cuts from Bush and rode that wave, and the trickle down thing was a big Reaganomic joke. What a scam. Anyone who does a gut check knows that’s just a load of crap. Let’s give EVERYONE a little better shake for a change. Yep, change. It’s coming. Maybe you should move to Alaska and hole up. I’m looking forward to better days ahead. My moral compass is set just fine, thanks. My Bible has it’s place in the bookcase, right next to all my great works. Save your sermon, Jack.

I’ve seen a few postings here regarding Palin’s bridge to nowhere. That’s all fine and great. She’s told all of us thanks but no thanks. How considerate of her to do so.
But here’s another bridge that she fully supports and is pushing for:
Palin supports $600 million ‘other’ bridge project
Posted 9/16/2008 8:37 AM
ANCHORAGE (AP) — Gov. Sarah Palin may eventually have said “no thanks” to a federally funded Bridge to Nowhere.
But a bridge to her hometown of Wasilla, that’s a different story.
A $600 million bridge and highway project to link Alaska’s largest city to Palin’s town of 7,000 residents is moving full speed ahead, despite concerns the bridge could worsen some commuting and threaten a population of beluga whales.
Local officials already have spent $42 million on plans to route traffic across the Knik Arm inlet, a narrow finger of water extending roughly 25 miles northeast of Anchorage toward Wasilla. The proposal exists thanks to an earmark request by Republican Rep. Don Young, whose son-in-law has a small stake in property near the bridge’s proposed western span.
A Democratic council member in Anchorage will try Tuesday to spike the city’s sponsorship of the project, which Palin supports with some reservations.
, doesn’t help create jobs and may drive whales to extinction,” said Justin Massey, an attorney advising environmentalists opposed to the proposal. “It is also a project that serves the area where the governor is from, which is near and dear to her heart.”
The Knik Arm was one of two bridge proposals in Alaska awarded more than $450 million from lawmakers who requested money for special projects in 2005, when Young chaired the House Transportation Committee. Young, Alaska’s 18-term congressman, has said Alaska still lacks basic roads, railroads and bridges that were developed long ago in older and less spacious states.
At the time, Palin’s running mate for the Republican ticket, Arizona Sen. John McCain, derided both projects as wasteful. He called Young’s highway bill a “monstrosity” that was “terrifying in its fiscal consequences.”
“I want no part of this,” McCain said in a July 2005 statement. “This legislation is not — I emphasize not — my way of legislating.”
The governor initially championed the first so-called Bridge to Nowhere, which would have connected the southeastern Alaska town of Ketchikan to its airport on nearby Gravina Island. She later pulled the plug on the project after it became a national symbol of extravagant federal spending.
Palin’s record on the Bridge to Nowhere has emerged as a central point of controversy in the campaign over her recent public claims that she had opposed it, aligning herself with McCain’s anti-earmarks philosophy.
Palin still supports the second bridge, officially named Don Young’s Way in honor of the congressman. She called for a review of the bridge’s financing plans and raised concerns about its financial risks for the state. Still, the planning process is marching forward.
“Governor Palin’s demand for accountability and transparency around this project is exactly what she has called for across the board to ensure taxpayers’ dollars are being used wisely,” spokeswoman Maria Comella said.
Dianne Keller, who succeeded Palin as mayor in Wasilla, has said the new $600 million crossing could lower traffic congestion in the fast-growing community. A Federal Highway Administration study shows the project would cut down some area commutes, but could add to others as more people move to the suburbs.
The average commuter trip to work for Wasilla residents is 34 minutes, compared to an average of 25 minutes for the rest of the United States, according to 2000 Census figures, the most recent available.
The bridge is popular with property developers — including a group comprised of Young’s son-in-law, the former legislative director for indicted Republican Sen. Ted Stevens and three others — who own land across from Anchorage on the inlet’s western side.
The National Marine Fisheries Service is evaluating whether the isolated beluga whales that breed and feed in the waterway’s strong tides should be listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act. Palin has publicly urged the government not to list Cook Inlet beluga whales as endangered.
Anchorage Assembly members Patrick Flynn and Matt Claman, both Democrats, plan to introduce a proposal to kill the bridge on Tuesday. They argue the money would be better used to set up commuter van pools and fix Alaska’s existing highways, some of which are so rutted that cars go skidding off the road.
“She clearly hasn’t said ‘no thanks’ to this particular bridge,” Claman said. “If money were not an issue and we had no limits, maybe we’d build a bridge. But this is not a pragmatic or efficient way to spend scarce resources.”

My fellow Americans, my hope is that you put your differences from all those years aside and swallow your pride just to come together for a common cause. This time, let’s not vote our emotions but our pocketbook for a bright future for America. We need to rehabilitate the “American Dream” that should be within the reach of every productive citizen of this country for generations to come.

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 $500,000,000 housing project in Illinois. Obama has no idea how to run a country when Obama cannot run a housing project program.

No to Obama……..BOOOOOO to Obama
Under Barck Obama and Colin Powell’s National Work Program you will earn much less and if you are lucky, have Social Security of about $620.00 per month in a $3,400.00 per month economy.
No to Obama……..BOOOOOO to Obama

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.

How tired I am of repeating myself, but here we go again.
1. As Republicans are SO fond of reminding everyone, anyone can file a lawsuit against anyone for any reason. There do not have to be grounds.
The Republican Party, for example, filed a lawsuit alleging voter fraud in Ohio. They took it all the way to the Supreme Court and POW dismissed for lack of evidence (case in point).
So, here are my questions (please answer them).
1. Philip Berg ALSO previously brought a lawsuit against the Bush administration because he claimed they perpetrated 911. Is this allegation of his true? If not, and you don’t find him (therefore) to be a credible source, why do you think he is telling the truth now?
2. You are a citizen if either of your parents are a citizen, regardless of where you were born. Are you challenging the citizenship of Obama’s mother?
3. How would his 18 year old mother know he was going to run for President? If she did not, why would she (assuming she did go to Kenya to have him) cover this up?
4. The DEMOCRATICALLY controlled Senate passed a resolution stating that John McCain (who is foreign born) was eligible to run for President. If there WERE a problem with Obama’s standing, it would be the same as McCain’s problem. Sooo, why would the DEMOCRATICALLY controlled Senate have passed this resolution for the REPUBLICAN nominee, but not the DEMOCRATIC nominee?
I will await your response.
PS No one making these claims HAS EVER responded to any of these questions in any meaningful way because THESE ARE CRACKPOT ALLEGATIONS that can not be defended with facts or reason.

Well, she’s right that the Baltimore Colts were an elite team that had dominated the rest of the NFL in 1968 by going 13-1 with their backup quarterback, who earned the MVP award, and avenging their one regular season loss by embarrassing the Cleveland Browns, 34-0, in the NFL championship game. But she’s completely wrong about the Colts having all the money; that was the Jets, who had rewarded their draft pick Joe Namath with the largest contract in pro sports. Analogies are great . . . if they make sense.

She said voting for Obama would put the safety of the country’s children in the “hands of someone we hardly know.” (She also added that despite Obama’s touting he is from Hawaii, she has never met him and he has “never called me on the phone.”)
Ultimately the country judges the president by how he deals with the unexpected, Lingle said, and Obama “is not a person who will make the tough calls.”

Why should I vote for a man that thinks that I fall in the same tax bracket as someone making 5 million dollars? Who owns 7 houses? Who’s wife spends more on clothes than I’ve had since I turned 16? That’s in touch with the middle class and the poor? For those assuring that McCain will win: Are you sure?

I think it’s time for you to go to bed. The crap you’re spewing isn’t making any sense.
For God’s sake, as often as McCain and Palin keep / kept bringing up Ayers / ACORN / his tax plan…the list goes on and on and on, it’s a fricking broken record…I’ve never heard them bring up whether he’s a citizen or not.
With the amount of time that is left McCain / Failin’ Palin are just trying to save face. Why has McCain or one of his minions already come out and said that he will not speak at his own election night party at the Biltmore in Arizona, that he’ll do it from somewhere outside on the lawn…boo hoo
Can you say LANDSLIDE? And not the way that you’re hoping for…
So, why DON”T YOU explain it to me why there is absolutely no mention of this citizenship thing being an issue except on Republican Radio / T.V. channels / RAGS? I really don’t know if they are making an issue of it because I have better things to do with my time than to listen / read any of their crap.

Obama slinging a lot of crap in saying he will take from the rich.
Obama talks a good story about sharing the wealth. The wealth that Obama claims in sharing is the earnings of the ordinary workers and the entrepreneurs that have an idea for business and succeed. You will never touch the wealth of the very rich. There can be no sharing the wealth of a Walton, a Bill Gates, a DuPont, a Rockefeller, a Mellon or the more than 400 rich in the United States. You all have been conned by one of the best.

Anyway, I cannot understand Americans who vote for Obama. You let yourselves incite by the democrats to stab your own president Bush in the back and don’t see that they are only inciting you to get power?
Bush has made America save since 9/11 or have you experienced another attack? No you have not. Has anybody here thought about the fact that security costs money?
Why are you all complaining with your back parts in security?
Bush did this. He provided security. Also for us here in Europe and made the world a saver place.
Thats what counts. And we all had to make sacrifices but it was worth the sacrifices for a safer world.
And McCain will keep America and the world save as well. He is very responsible and experienced and gold medalled for peace by dialogue awarded in 2006 by the Munich Conference of Security, he is highly capable of establishing and maintaining peace.
If I were you, I would go for Mccain/Palin.

Remember all that bs we were told by the media about how that the youth were so enthralled by Obama the Messiah?
Yet Gallup finds 13% of registered voters saying they will vote for president for the first time in 2008, the first time. That matches the figure Gallup found in its final 2004 preelection poll. There is no increase in the proportion of first-time voters.
Actually, among voters 18-24, McCain leads by about 10 points. So much for all the hyped up excitement about Obama engaging the youth back in the political process.

McCain and Palin are going to win this election. Mark my words. The polls always err in favor of the Democrats, always, every election season.

Very presumptive of you to assume what others socio-economic status or how that effects their concern for the future of America, isn’t it?
– You all have been conned by one of the best. –
And yet you can not provide a single reason for such a statement, even when asked directly. Perhaps you can explain why on average, the wealthy only pay 15-18% in income taxes while the middle class pays 25-28%? Perhaps you can explain why the middle class should shoulder even more of a tax burden by cutting income taxs even greater for the wealthy as McCain would like to do. Perhaps you can explain how trickle down taxation is supposed to create jobs, when the unemployment rates under such plans shows the exact opposite? Speaking of the rich, how about Lynn Forrester de Rothschild who said:
“It’s going to be, What is in the best interest of all Americans? And I think if history is our guide, we’ve had stronger economies, more wealth creation, under Democratic presidents than we have under Republican presidents. So I don’t understand why all my capitalist friends aren’t Democrats”.

Truly laughable are your remarks. There is a mass psychology to events that must take place in an orderly way else chaotic situations could arise. If the courts so fine in favor of Obama, then no chaos will show its ugly head and society is in no danger of any harm. However, if the courts render a decision against Obama, then chaos could be very damaging to social order.
You are out of touch with real events and to events that can happen. You are blind and cannot see more than your bias. To me, if Obama wins that is fine and I have already adjusted my life to that possibility. If McCain wins, I am ready to adjust my life to that possibility. So many on this blog are so bias that they are blinded by the possibility of coming events. No one can help these people because they are in a frenzy for Obama to win.

How can Palin “gurarantee” a win in Pennsylvania?

Is that how she can “guarantee” a win? She must know something the rest of us don’t.

I’m a registered republican and voted for McCain in the 2000 primaries. Back then, he stood on a platform very similar to Obamas, particularly in his stance on taxes where he blasted Bush for his giving tax breaks to the wealthy and not the middle class. I guess he has since reversed that stance, but unfortunately for him, myself and many others haven’t.
Unfortunately, about the only thing worse than not voting at all is voting for irrational reasons. Guess you are one of the ones who falls into that category.

I do not fear a women president because as I travel throughout Asia, Europe, and I have seen excellent leadership with women. The Philippines is a fine example with Gloria dealing with all kinds of problems including terrorism that never goes away. Gloria is a little giant that never calls it quits.
I do not like Obama for his statement that I am going to spread the wealth. Such a blanket statement is pure crap and he knows it. I can not put away his not telling everything about himself. I did not like the fact that he likes his church then he says he has nothing to do with the church. I can forgive a person for their youthful misgivings, but show your remorse, do not hide that which you did.

What has hurt McCain’s campaign is Palin, and both of them not facing issues. I can understand Palin’s part, she doesn’t know the policies, etc. If I had been for McCain, I probably would have have changed my because of Palin and the dirty campaigning.
Nothing on issues – just slamming Obama. What about their records – no better, a lot of denials.
I honestly think McCain would have been elected, but Palin has dragged him down, admit it or not. Plus his military record, we are all aware that he was POW, and we know he has served his country, but let’s face the issues.

Palin is far more qualified than Obama… any blind person could see that. Obama has a record of nothing but radical affiliations and socialistic tendencies. Palin ran a state with 23,000 state employees… an $11 million budget… a massive surplus… and an 80+% public approval rating. I’m a democrat, but who could vote for someone with NO experience at all and so many questionable friends and associates… a book that proclaims he hates the “white blood” that flows through his veins… and Biden, a guy who says so many stupid things you can’t believe he’s held office for so long.

Dear ABC. If you read the comments in this thread (as I just did) perhaps you don’t see the dregs of insipidness planted by the narratives of the “big thinkers” in the modern press. I have read a dozen other blogs this morning full of intelligent and thoughtful things, even the political topics, But then I arrive here and see what passes for normal and the pathetically dumbed down quality of readership you have attracted and built for the ABC brand. Perhaps the quality of the content will someday equal the quality your corporate art and look, but I think you are more going the way of the New York Time, who I just read about moments ago in their haughty plunge toward financial ruin. What do you think you will have left if you finally dumb down all your customers until they parrot the narrative you are selling? Do you really think a secure and prosperous future can be secured by manipulating morons and pandering propaganda for hire? I saw “The View” the other morning playing on the television at my doctors office. What a farcical transparent infomercial. By reducing life to swill and predictable outbursts of juvenile contempt, you destroy the very prospects of bounty you must harvest in order to survive and enjoy a future of any quality. Hubris, it appears, has you by the throat.

There won’t be a USA in 2012 when Obama and George Soros get through with it. I can hear George Orwell from beyond saying “I told you so”.

“Now, Joe Namath is probably a little bit before your time,” Palin said to the high school students in the crowd. “But do you remember…” – idiot

I’m not rich… but I prefer to keep what I do earn. I’m going to school, I work hard, I served my country, I just bought my first house. THAT is what this country is about. YOU get by on YOUR own merits… not mine. There is no free lunch. I am not comfortable with politicians using my tax money to buy votes.

obama’s tax plan
tax cut for 95% – when 35% don’t pay taxes, it’s welfare
$250 tax hike ($250 for a family, it’s $200 for individual)
when he was in the dem primaries his tax cut number was $100k
taxes on business, capital gains, home sales, death tax
when the bush tax cuts expire in 2010 he will add that into your tax liability and say I didn’t raise your taxes they are now back to the level that is fair
this hate the wealthy while I stab you in the back Obama tax system is disingenous and socialistic in nature
thank God his Joe the Plumber moment is resonating with voters
polls say Obama – well ask president’s Kerry and Gore how that works
Penn goes with the red states where McCain holds nearly all and Obama is thankfully a washed up politician on Nov 5

Tom I would LOVE to hear your opinion about John McCains health care tax credits that will also be sent to the same 35% who dont pay taxes? Is it welfare too?

I’ve never heard of any hockey mom with 150,000 dollars worth of clothes. I challenge and McCain/Palin supporter to state otherwise. BTW I wonder how many people in those small/rural towns now feel suckered by by Sarah Palin the high fashion celebrity?

Top Ten Tips For McCain/Palin After the Election:
10) Return to the beauty circuit is possible, but John will have to shave his legs.
9) Mix macaroni and cheese with ground moose for a tasty, low-cost meal.
8) Ayers says he has no open board positions, but there’s always turnover in the custodial staff.
7) In a pinch, thrifty people have been known to scrape by with as few as five or six houses.
6) “Miss Congeniality” looks good on a Walmart resume.
5) Keating will put you up for a few days, but you’ll have to sleep on the couch and Sarah will have to do something about that gawdawful snoring.
4) If $1400 hairstyle is looking a little shaggy, Biden knows somebody who works cheap.
3) 7-11 job interview process does not have a talent portion; leave flute at home.
2) Check out job listings for State of Alaska; looks like there’s an open State Trooper position.
And the number one tip for McCain/Palin after the election:
1) Barack’s going to need someone to help measure those drapes.

Its just not going to happen. To win, McCain MUST win every toss-up state. He cannot lose even one. Not going to happen.

Sarah Palin is running for Vice-President against Joe Biden. Which of the two candidates has made fewer gaffes in this campaign? Palin. Which of the two candidates has the most executive experience? Palin. Which of the two candidates has been giving more press conferences and interviews in the past two weeks? Palin.
There is a reason Palin energizes people. She is smart, thoughtful, the daughter of teachers – not elitist. When people actually listen to her, her sincere desire to serve her country rings true. And the disservice of the press who conducted the early, biased-edited interviews becomes explicitly clear.
She does not have the backing of the Chicago machine – but what is Chicago politics best known for? Corruption. Who has that backing? The top person on the Democrat ticket.
As an Independent, neither candidate in this election was my choice. But the McCain/Palin ticket offers Americans the best hope for the future. Both McCain and Palin have demonstrated that they are willing to buck their party lines and reach across the aisle to be inclusive in their legislative and executive actions. Both McCain and Palin offer a way for Americans to heal better than the Democrat ticket which much less frequently crossed the aisle to vote with the other party.
Finally,(O/T), if you really want change in Washington, vote for better, less self-centered/greedy Congressmen/women. They control government and they are responsible for the economic mess we currently experience. Hold them accountable for stopping attempts to reform and regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Hold them responsible for legislation that penalized banks that did not give loans to people who had no way to re-pay those loans. It is the Congress that passed legislation that pushed them into debt and default. These legislators are the responsible parties for our economic problems. Vote Senators and Congressmen and women who prevented oversight on Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae out of Congress.
But for president, vote for a proven leader, not a proven promiser. For president – vote McCain/Palin.

“I heard that Alaska back when they were builting the Alaskan Pipe Line was the cocaine capitol of the Northwest.”
As long as we’re on the subject of cocaine and medical records instead of issues, Barry was a big-time cocaine snorter and cigarette smoker. In fact, he may still be bumming cigs on the campaign trail now and then – not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Still, I’m more interested to see how years of drug abuse and tobacco use have impacted Barry’s health than taking a peak into Palin’s uterus.
So Barry, please release your FULL medical records.
Thank you.

I have lived in the State of PA all my life. There is no way in hell Obama is going to win this state. The ten points is a fantasy because all of the media except for FOX is in the tank for Obama. Both candidates internal polling shows a dead even. That is why McCain hasn’t pulled out of PA and why the Obama campaign is so worried. It would be safe to say that even Obama’s internals may be wrong because people do not want to look like they are racist. Sarah said that because their internals are telling them something.

OMG I was killed today for wearing an McCain button. I swear, i was just walking down the street when these Obama supporters came up to me and beat me to death.
Some bystanders called the cops but the Obama supporters ran away.
They rushed me to the E.R but too late, they had already killed me.
Is that what the new Karl Rove tactic is?
….Pathetic LOL

I agree with Warlock above…good point…the very wealthy can afford tax lawyers to find money in those gazillion pages of the U.S. Tax Code. Sure, they pay out a lot, but nowhere near what we are lead to believe.
This Robin Hood stuff is a scam. It’s always the middle class that gets stuck. The question now is, how much do we get it? Those government programs aren’t cheap you know, and, hey, everybody deserves a house to live in (and in every pot in that house a chicken and in every car a hybrid).

Question how is Sarah Paline going to run in 2012 when she still has to deal with the Alaska legislative when they return in January to talk about her abuse of power verdict, and if she is found guilty by them. Can you say impreachment ,then who is going to want her as president then ,the dems will have a field day with it. no paline, no how, no way in anyday ok.

If Palin runs in 2012, she will be eaten alive for joining the alaskan independence party.
Lynette Clark, the chairman of the AIP, told ABC News that Palin and her husband, Todd, belonged to the party in 1994.
DNC hasn’t brought this up….not until 2012 rolls around.

Obama is a socialist who voted 4 times to let babies die in a closet.
He wants bigger government on your taxes.
If you REALLY believe more government can do a better job of running (=RUINING) our lives, then by all means – vote for the friend of domestic terrorists , Fannie Mae and the leader of Iran.
Otherwise, hold your nose and vote Palin / McCain

“Barack the wealth spreader,” Look at this graph – http://zfacts.com/p/318.html. Ask these questions. Which administrations have borrowed the most money between 1980 and now? When they spent the money, who got it?
It looks to me like Palin, McCain and their friends in the Republican party have spread more wealth than ANY group of Democrats, ever. None of it has gone to benefit the common man. Maybe your taxes have stayed flat, but your kids schools suck, you’re paying more in healthcare than your parents did, and you can’t get a decent job because America is not investing in making America better. It’s been engaging in Socialism for the Wealthy. You’ve been had.
