Live from New York…It’s John McCain!

Jack Carroll:
Sounds like you have been asleep while the rest of America tries to be ONE AMERICA, but guess you missed that part and woke up back in the 60′s in the hateful, spiteful era.
Maybe you can take a nap for the next 8 years, cause it is going to be a GREAT WONDERFUL ride into a BETTER FUTURE than your Republicans and old man McCain, or idiot Palin could have given us… Really is that the best the Republicans can offer?? Nighty Night…

What a class act that McCain. His cork up the … opponent wouldn’t do that under the circumstances that McCain finds himself in. In fact, the humorless O-man wouldn’t do it under any circumstances. Good luck, America. You made your choice. Now live with it.

I hope McCain wins. Four years of a rapidly aging Obama, his scripts, and theatrics, as well as the attendant fawning media while he learns on the job — would be too much to take. Please nation, don’t vote Obama out of panic. Things will improve.

McCain all the way! May God in His mercy kick the likes of Obama to the curb. The man is a puppet with hundreds of advisors. Can you imagine him as President of the United States during a crisis having to gather them all together for advice? By the time there was some sort consenus on what to do in the crisis, the U.S. would have been nuked and buried.

SNL QVC was the best smack down on Obama’s glutten spending, (breaking his campaign spending promise).
The blank commemorative plates for the 10 town hall meetings Obama ran like a chicken from. Priceless.
Do you think the base of Obama is smart enough to understand how sliced , diced, and served up that show left Obama?

John McCain has a “wicked sense” and Sarah Palin is his “humor.”
GO O!

Can you imagine JFK on SNL? FDR? Ike? Didn’t Richard Nixon start this national tv dumbing down of the President?
It is incredible to think of it, but we will probably be electing the most powerful leader in the world based on what? Guest shots on comedy shows? Maybe Chris Rock’s got a write-in shot.

But back to the subject at hand: McCain’s “performance” just served as a reminder that men his age should be in bed dreaming of the good old days, long before the air-time of shows like SNL! I give him credit for actually participating (contrary to the stand-in act that Sarah Palin did) but no wonder SNL had to draft Tina Fey, once again, to save the skit! McCain isn’t funny, not when he’s trying to be, and especially not when he’s trying to win the post of Commander-in-Chief in real life with a dufus like Palin at his side.

Hate to burst your bubbles, but you guys are crazy.

It’s hard to believe people are falling for the Joe the Plumber gimmick. I hope he finds his voice in country music.

Wow. Look at all the sour grapes from you McCain people? Looks like a wine maker’s convention. Just shut your yaps and vote. Whoever wins, wins. but calling Obama “hitler” or positing that he’ll appoint himself Emperor is ridiculous – look up the definition of “Radical” and you’ll see why all of these psyche games are getting you labeled the “Radical Right.”
I guess the most amusing thing out of that camp so far though is accusing Obama of being divisive. Need I recall confused republicans accusing Obama of being a Muslim or “Paling around with Terrorist?” What about the free ride McCain has gotten with some of his ‘associations’?

Obama and his camp is like walking into a restaurant and seeing an odd , tacky, ostentacious, dresser who really believes they look good.
Remember the image of the the crazed guy in the last scene in scarface? The cocaine all over his face, is like money all over Obama.
Seeing Auntie’s legs sticking out from under the bus leaves more great material for SNL.
Dems are proud of this representative race card……I mean really proud of their candidate….Kennedy with the 57 state speech candidate pie all over his face…….Priceless.

McCain was great.
Get out and vote for McCain/Palin!
Don’t believe the polls–they are in the tank for BO just like the media.

the mccain ‘fine gold’ bit was brilliant, especially with cindy as the model! that being said, it did not change my belief about whether or not sen. mccain should lead this country. it’s nice to see that he has a sense of humor about the campaign, but that doesn’t make him the leader this country needs.
on the other hand, perhaps he and cindy have a future on qvc…?

All of these assumptions about how Obama and his people see themselves… do the human race a favor and vote from reality okay? Who wants to maintain a tax advantage for the rich? And what has that done to the middle class? McCain does, he’s on record – and it has destroyed and gutted this country. Why did we invade Iraq again? Oh yeah, under false pretenses because dumb asses like Rupert Murdoch foresaw $10 a barrel oil with a united states flag stenciled across the girth of it. Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran anybody? Have a catchy tune to it? Hi, I’m a PTSD afflicted war vet… mind if I put my finger on the nuke trigger? No thank you nut job, go home, pop some viagra, and put one in your trophy wife…

Brenda: Are you talking about Bush?
“CIVILIAN Security Force?”
Look at the huge number of civilian security contractors used in Iraq.
“People he doesn’t agree with kicked out of press conferences?”
Bush has pretty much appointed yes men to every office he can, rather than people who actually look at what’s going on and make an informed decision.
“Digging into people’s personal records to find dirt?”
See the whole Bush CIA leak thing. Also the leak of Obama’s aunt’s immigration status, which wasn’t a matter of public record.
“Allowing illegals to take residence in and welfare from this country?”
Certainly been a lot of illegals living in this country over the last 8 years. No one’s had more power to change this than Bush. Not doing so is basically allowing it, no?
“Saying ‘I can change the world?’”
I’d say declaring war on “terror” across the world is an attempt to change it, no?

Were can I find the “Don’t blame me, I voted for McCain” bumper stickers. I’m not going to have anyone think that I had anything to do with the agendas Senator Byrd and Congresswoman Pelosi have ready to pass under a weak President Obama.
Oh the liberals will run amok with the national checkbook. If you think that the Global War on Terrorism was expensive, just wait. Why try to raise them up by providing an education and job skills to the poor, when handouts will keep them voting Democrat.
Open your eyes Obama supporters. The gravy train will leave the station once the handouts bankrupt America.

McCain will be the president.Obama full of B.S.

The tactic was obvious. It didn’t have anything to do with having a sense of humor, etc. The SNL viewership is primarily liberal, and MaCain had nothing to lose and something quite real to gain. It is clear that the only reason Obama would be on SNL is to block McCain, but one can construe that as either good sportsmanship on Obama’s part or his realization that McCain’s political ploy was a act of desperation. Hopefully the majority of SNL viewers see it this way too. As for me, it seemed a little pathetic for McCain, in the face of early returns, to deem it necessary to put on a comic’s mask in order to appeal to those who form their poliical/moral philosophy via SNL.

So sad to see Americans act like complete and total idiots. When we need to unite to make a better future for our country. When we need to solve our selfish appetite for foreign oil. When we need to unite to produce a better means of transportation. When we forget what we are leaving for our children to cope with. When we need to unite to show the world that somehow democracy and capitalism is the best show on the road to this date. When we need to unite to somehow solve the ecology problems that we face. When we need to come together what do we see? A lot of the garbage above. It is equally divided between the great political parties of our times. The Republicans and Democrats. We need to unite and somehow find a better way than being divisive. Our future demands it. Our children demand it. Selfishness defeats it. Where did all for one and one for all go? We know it is not living in Iceland, or Russia, or does it even survive in America? For the Religious, God bless America. For the atheists, Long Live America. For our children. Somehow I hope we have America in our future.

Let’s raise taxes on the people who spend the most money, hire the most people, and already pay the most taxes via sales tax. Let’s ignore the personal responsibility everyone has to not buy themselves a BMW, or their kids $200 jeans and couch purses, when they scream that they cannot afford healthcare. Think it’s hard getting a liver, try getting one in France or any other country with socialistic tendencies. Tax the rich, feed the poor is a romantic notion, the only problem is it doesn’t work. If everyone gets a free cell phone, food, education, and shelter, then where is the incentive for anyone to do anything? Socialism/communism doesn’t work people, it’s been proven over and over again. We are supposed to take care of ourselves and each other. The government is supposed to protect our right to do so, not give us hand outs. “Ask not what your country can do for you”, the only problem is that Americans increasingly get this backwards. Welfare and all the other socialist programs were meant to be a temperary fix for the great depression, now it has become something expected by people who can vote, but do not even know the 3 branches of government. Have some personal responsibility. Who doesn’t want a eutopian life/society? I know I do, but I also know this isn’t a fairy tale. Life is cruel and the standards that we have let slip will do us in if people won’t educate themselves and take some personal responsibility to learn about how the world works. With no incentive otherwise, we would all just lay around and get drunk like the Russians and every other sucker who had to live with socialism, which is exactly where we are headed. The country is messed up enough people, let’s not screw it up even more by willingly hopping on the slippery slope of socialism.

So funny McCain. I’m still voting for Obama though…

What’s wrong with a flat tax? 10-15% of everyone’s income. Why is no one screaming about this? Instead we are going to tax the people who spend the most money and hire the most people. That is not a good idea. Here is a perfect example of how the slippery slope works. Obama taxes all the mean,evil rich people and corporations, they in turn spend less and less money, hire less and less people, and ultimately have tp raise the prices on their services. So, the government has to get even more involved and force them to adjust their prices or something equally as ridiculous. That fixes the problem but creates a new one that the government has to step in to take care of. Less government people, not more. What is the last thing the government ran properly. Now you want them in charge of everything? You want going to the doctor to be like going to the DMV? Do some research, things that sound too good to be true usually are.

America we are selfless
Before you vote you need to realize that what we are going through is bigger than any president or party, or America itself. It is called globalization. The world economy is becoming one.
As the economy grows in undeveloped countries (China, India, Brazil and Africa, ¾ of the worlds population) it will shrink in developed countries (US, the EU, Russia.) Over a period of time our wages and cost of living will go down and theirs will go up as it is doing now. Call it leveling the playing field. It has been happening over the last fifteen years and we can not stop it. When it is leveled there will be a demand for us to start to manufacture products again.
We have two choices. We can opt out and let the world go on with out us. That would be a big mistake. Or we can fight it and lose our edge. But it will happen with or without us.
Under Bush the market was driven by credit that keep up our lifestyle. Basically we spent more then we made to keep up our life style. The derivates were the straw that broke the back. This we will recover from in due time.
The blue collar manufacturing class is gone it will not come back until wages level out world wide. As wages decrease the cost of living will too. We can always manufacture a product but we have to have a market that has the money to buy it. As in the past America produces 45% more then it can consume so we need the worlds market.
McCain sees this and Obama doesn’t
McCain wants a freeze on taxes and government services to rein in spending.
Obama wants to isolate us through reducing free trade, tax corporations which slows growth, create social programs, grow government, and let our Children, Grand children, and great grand children to deal with it.
We happen to be the richest market but not the only one. It will happen whether we like it or not. We need to take the hit now. The market will adjust, our life style will change and our children have a better life.

McCain’s appearance on SNL was extremely disturbing. Obviously, 18-29 year olds make up the core audience. They are expected to turn out in record numbers to vote overwhelmingly for Obama.
McCain did not give them reasons to vote for himself, instead he tried to make politics itself look ridiculous. The aim was to get millions of young people not to vote. Why bother going to the polls and spending three hours waiting in line if politics is just a silly game and everybody involved just laughs about it no matter who wins?
Obama’s message is that we have to take politics seriously and it does matter who wins. McCain’s message is just the opposite, who cares who wins, just go out and smoke another joint.
The skit was based on the lie that McCain’s campaign is poor and Obama’s is rich. While his campaign is legally limited to spending $82,000,000, he has been given uncounted millions from the Republican Party and other Special Intererest Groups like the NRA and anti-abortion groups who are targeting Obama
I have been receiving four or five pieces of full colored, slick advertisements in the mail everyday this week labeling Obama as a terrorist, socialist and tax raiser. This is an extremely expensive advertising. He has outspent Obama in this. He has also done expensive, disgusting low-road robo-calling campaigns in every state where he is competitive.
Conservative SNL which attacked Obama constantly during the primaries and helped Hillary Clinton win several of them also had on skits vicously attacking (without any apparent satire)two shows, “The View” and “Countdown,” two shows that have been critical of Obama. It is sad that rich Lorne Michaels, the super wealthy owner of SNL is allowed to use SNL to help the McCaine campaign with millions of dollars of free publicity.

Excuse the typo in my previous post. “The View” and “Countdown” have been critical of McCain and that is why Lorne Michael’s SNL witlessly and bitterly attacked them last night.

I sure wish we had someone like Davy Crockett to vote for – just read his story about his stand on gov’t handouts and compare it to the 700b bailout
Horatio Bunce we could sure use more of you today…

====================================
I don’t see any problem with it as long as all other tax “breaks” are equal. Simply put, those who earn more won’t get ONE tax break more than those who earn less. (We’ll see how long it takes before they start screaming about how they provide jobs and are STILL paying more taxes 15%)
Calipari writes, “Instead we are going to tax the people who spend the most money and hire the most people. That is not a good idea.”
===============================
It sounds like you believe these people and corporations should be REWARDED for providing jobs when the fact is the EMPLOYEES they hire are the fuel to the machine they created. At the end of the day PROFITS are made, shareholders are paid and the EMPLOYEES are giving whopping 3% pay increases regardless of PROFITS earned. Yes, they should pay MORE in order to EARN those profits. A perfect example would be Exxon. Billions of dollars in profits and I’d bet the average employee got NOTHING in terms of a raise, etc. When they talk about TRICKLE down economics they mean it LITERALLY.
Calipari writes, “Here is a perfect example of how the slippery slope works. Obama taxes all the mean,evil rich people and corporations, they in turn spend less and less money, hire less and less people, and ultimately have tp raise the prices on their services.”
===============================
People have been trying to SELL that nonsense for decades. Jobs are lost due to companies trying to become more efficicent, not tax dollars. So your example ISN’T perfect at all. As proof I offer the following. Take the Pharmaceutical industry. Right now they are laying off thousands of sales people despite profits and financial standing. Why is that? As you can see, it has NOTHING to do with the example you profided as a “perfect” example.
Calipari writes, “So, the government has to get even more involved and force them to adjust their prices or something equally as ridiculous.”
================================
What is with you faux-conservatives. The government can’t tell anyone what they can charge for anything UNLESS the entity received government dollars. If you want to government dollar, you accept what they pay. Ask a physician if you have any doubts.
Calipari writes, “Less government people, not more.”
===========================
Typical conservative mumbo jumbo. It’s all talk. Maybe you would like to take a stab at DEFINING less government. I’m always tickled by folks who toss that out without ever DEFINING it.

Sarah Palin is a model for our daughters. She has achieved what women proclaim to have been fighting for since the 60s. She is accomplished, a working mother, governor, and most of all, a woman who despite being beautiful, does not rely on sex appeal to make her case. She has graciously fended off her attackers, and empowers all girls to know that they can do anything.

Less Government means less involvement on their part in every phase of our lives. Obama wants exactly the opposite, he wants the Government to provide health care, and to “resdistribute the wealth”, which is an exact Marxist quote from his manifesto. Other liberals suggest putting a cap on Capitalism, I don’t believe the Government should be able to tell Fred Smith that in their opinion he has made enough money and we are going to arbitrarily “re-distribute” what we deem as excess. These corporations should be given incentives to do what Fred Smith does. He provides great health care and pays for employees college education. He doesn’t have to do this, he shouldn’t be forced to do this. He does it because he can and wants to, and others should be given reason to follow suit. You can accomplish, through capitalism, anything you can through socialism, and more.

Sarah Palin is a liar.
The Troopergate Report found she abused the power of her public office repeatedly in attempts to get her ex-brother-in-law fired.
Palin consistently lied and said the report cleared her of any abuse of power. Direct lie.
Someone with this thin a grip on reality and such ease with obvious lying is not the change we need.

This was fun, it was my first time blogging or chatting or whatever. This is what makes America great, we can sit here and express our opinions. It is cliche, but cliche’s are cliche’s because they are true. You cannot do this in a large part of our planet. It was fun and interesting bludgeoning you over the head with my opinion and being bludgeoned by yours, but it is now time for football! Ask not, what your Country can do for you…..cliche, but cliche’s are cliche’s becauahhhh, laters.

Oh, John Grisham served in the MS congress (senator or representative, not sure, who cares) – he wrote a few books, too – but a bit more entertaining than Obama’s. Maybe he should run for prez. I think his political leanings are pretty liberal, so the press should love him. But he’s not a black man who disowns other blacks at the drop of a hat – so guess he wouldn’t have the same appeal.

Awesome John McCain. He is the right president elect for America. He is responsible and going to move the country in the right direction.
You are the man and Sarah is the woman. She is no idiot at all. She is wise beyond her years. If she is an idiot so is Obama.
AC

Obama is a wolf in sheeps clothing just waiting to devour each of us for his own personal gain. He has done nothing for this country in all of his life and he now intends to rule over us??????? Please all you Obama supporters out there name one thing SPECIFICALLY that he has done other than give speeches.
Oh, I am not a sefish person, and I give more than my fair share. I in fact have given more to those in need than Obama or Biden and I make MAYBE 1/3 of what they make. So please don’t make a virtue out of spreading the wealth. We have what we need in this country to go further than any other country. We have the resources, yet if we don’t seek them out we have no one to blame but ourselves. Oh, by the way George Bush didn’t ask or make anyone take out loans, gather credit cards and get any of us into debt. WE THE PEOPLE DID THAT ON OUR OWN. If you must blame someone then blame the DEMS as they pushed this and deceived the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Do any of you realize that when Pelosi took the Speaker seat she and her DEM friends voted themselves a pay raise and payed for it by raising our taxes and causeing taxes to be raised on those who receive SS and MEDICARE, by 150.00 more a month. NOW THAT IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO. GET REAL AMERICA YOU ARE ACCEPTING THE BIGGEST SNOW JOB IN HISTORY if you belive Obama and Biden really care about you or this country.

CLabs, you are so wrong about the chief advisory for McCain. It sounds as though you watch those who suppress the truth and call the lies the truth. As I said rewriting the truth to fit themselves. Biggest snow job in our history.

Ray, You are so right in what you say! It is one of the most intelligent comments I’ve seen on a political blog this week. Might I add …it is to our gain to vote for McCain.
Mature
Courageous
Conservative
American Veteran
Integrity
National Security
McCain is mature enough to be a father figure to someone Obama’s age, by nearly a quarter century. When McCain was entering his forties, Obama was only a teenager of 16. When the inexperienced are elevated too high and too fast, pride can overcome good judgment. Silver haired wisdom is more equipped to lead and protect the security of our national interest.
In contrast:
Other Priorities
Bogus
Another Agenda
Mixed Message
A Risk
It’s safer to stay in the right lane with McCain

Yeah, that’s all it was…a INFOMERCIAL! Dont waste your time listening to McCain’s CRAP!!
Obama/Biden 2008!!! For a BETTER America!

clabs, you are right Government can’t fix all the problems, and it isn’t suppose to. As for McCain, he isn’t soft on his values or his positions. Thsy have strengthened during this campaign and have been more defined. You mention his faith, well if you are a faith person, then be assured that after meeting with Billy Graham that it was found that he sound in his faith. Unlike Obama who no response on his faith was given. I don’t know if you are ignoring the facts or hoping they will change. Obama is not who respresents and you only need to listen to his constant changing of his mind to realize how untruthful he is. McCain may not be all things to all people, but he is the stronger of the two and will not put his own interest before his country. Never has, Never will. He isn’t soft, He has the strength of character and the strength of experience and record, which Obama does not. Are you aware that questions remain about Obama’s birth certificate?? Too much unanswered, too much hidden, too many lies. Though you may feel McCain is soft, he is not a deceiver. Are you saying you would rather believe a deception/lie rather than trust and have faith in a man who has proven himself? Are you ready to be deceived and not regret it? Are you ready to give up your constitutional right to freedom of speech? Are you inclined to support those who chose not to work because they can get free money? Answer those questions before Tuesday, with truth in mind and not the propaganda of Obama. Remember, even Biden said Obama is a fraud before he became the running mate. Hillary said the same. Ignore the truth and you will be deceived.

clab,
you can bash the Bible believers all you want, yet at least we know where we stand and don’t fall for those who seek to deceive us. And as for McCain, he didn’t cave, he chose to stand firm in his faith and belife’s. Which ofcourse the double talking Obama can’t.
Again, you have been deceived and will blame others when it doesn’t go your way.
I am proud to be a Jesus believer and follower. As it keeps me standing firm and my integrity in tact.
Good luck in your decision and I do pray that you do not get what you want.
Have a great day and at least pray before you submit your vote. God Bless you

To Sad Sharon Porter, you are generalizing about politics and religion, and apparently biblically baffled also. Your Sunday School Jesus has not been stolen as you claim. And, your unreasonably mean comment about McCain being unintelligent reveals your own elitism and lack of understanding. Tough love to you in Jesus, Cheer up :-)

Not bad. Not bad. And talking about comedy, have you heard that the Canadian comedy duo who pranked Sarah will be interviewed on the CBS morning show. Should be good. I’d like to hear how they pulled it off.

How can you vote for someone who thinks they are God or maybe better?
Obama has button that is a large penny with Obama on it instead of Lincoln and the words ‘In Obama We Trust’. He replaces himself for GOD. Christian people would not do that.

Let’s see what Obama does not know about …
He did not know that his Auntie, Zeituni Onyango, was in the United States illegally or even what her immigration status is. A smart lawyer like him?
He did not know that his pastor and personal & family mentor, Rev. Jerimiah Wright, hated white people and the United States of America and spewed hate speech about both from the pulpit in the church he attended for 20 years. A smart church-going man like him?
He did not know that the person that hosted a political party for him, William Ayers, was a unrepentant terrorist, and 60′s radical that is now working the educational system from the inside, brainwashing our children in his socialistic, middle-class hating ways. A well-read man like him?
He does not know that “spreading the wealth” means socialism, and socialism has not worked anywhere it has been tried … at any time. Really? … a smart man like him?
He does not know that allowing the existing tax cuts to expire in 2010 means tax increases. Oh, he know this all right … he’s just playing word games.
He does not know that having the government take over our entire country’s health care system will be a disaster, and that the quality and availablilty of health care will get much, much worse. A smart, well-read “citizen of the world” like him?
He does not know that raising taxes in a reccession is the worst possible thing you can do for an economy. The economic master-mind he is?
He does not know that worst thing you can do is heavily tax the people that hire other people for jobs in their businesses, both large & small. Somebody has to hire people and pay them wages. We can not all get checks from the government for not working. Somebody’s got to actually go to work Monday through Friday, and actually contribute those hard-earned tax dollars he just wants to spread around. A smart man like him does not know this?
He does not know just how many “Joe the Plumbers” there are out here in America that are going to vote for John McCain on Tuesday (but he’s going to find out).
If he is so smart, how come he doesn’t know these things?

I laughed a lot during this SNL.
-I thought the the comments we make are about the SNL BUT I see that a lot of people have gotten off subject and started to purge propaganda that has be drilled into heads.
I am a christian but I still don’t feel confident in McCain or Obama. The lesser of two evils is who I will pick.
-I feel that vets are entitled to better care that the VA is incompetent to do and I feel that All Americans should be entitled to healthcare insurance. what does religion have to do with that? -I am a Contract employee of the Naval Medical Center in VA and I work closely with returning warriors that are not able to leave the battle in the battlefield..When will we know that the war was won… somethings has go to give. If military spending is frozen or cut I am looking at unemployment and home foreclosure. I pray daily but the lord gave us free will so lets acknowledge that our issues are not to big for us to handle,
