Palin Makes Last Pitch to Ohio

Everyone I know is praying Tina Fey never has to do Palin again after tomorrow.

Sarah is the best! She is a breath of fresh air. You guys hate her because she is so energizing!!! There are a lot of people out their who don’t want to be mocked like Sarah is so they keep their mouth shut. Then they vote for McCain/Palin.

“Allo Governer Palin, zis is President Sarkozy …”
LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!
OBAMA = PRESIDENT
McCAIN = FAIL

@usa
The lie is that Obama “wants” to bankrupt Coal.
Thats not true. He wants clean coal and is pointing out that ignoring environmental requirements will cause fines which will cause financial burdens on dirty coal plant builders.
McCain has the same stance

He said if they try to build new plants the cost of his fees will bankrupt the “industry”

The comment “Taken out of context” is getting to be a pretty lame excuse for Obama or Biden when they get caught saying something they would like to take back. So if that is the case which is out of context “spread the wealth” or “tax break for 95% of middle class” which has never Been defined by Obama’s campaign. 1. How do you give a tax break to the 50% of the 95% that do not pay taxes anyway. 2. Have Obama and Biden keep talking we need the wind for our windmill farms.

The GOP’s hatred and fear of Obama is almost unprecedented. The last black man to be hated and feared as much was the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

It’s pandering to fear in coal-producing states. Anybody with half a brain can look up the two candidates stances and see that there’s very little difference in their positions.
Of course, the portion of the electorate that sincerely believes that Palin was sent to earth by God to protect us all from the Anti-Christ, that demographic isn’t going to go do some homework to verify any of the claims.

01-20-2009 The END of an ERROR…

I don’t hate Mrs. Palin I like her it is just that she is NOT prepared or has the knowledge to be vice president. PERIOD
What is the job of a vice-president? Well I wouldn’t ask her because she on 4 occasions doesn’t know her position.

Let your Sarah the Stupid run for president come 2012 and she’ll still be buried six feet under the ground by her opponent.We don’t need a stupid and ignorant president.My gosh, she doesn’t even know what’s the role of a vice president.How embarassing! How about Hillary versus Sarah Stupid for president? Whom will you vote for?

Yes the Obama supporters are violent. We’re the ones carving ourselves in the face, shooting McCain supporters, yelling racial slurs at people.
And for those of you who don’t read things in context you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
Ready lets play the distorting quote game.
I say “John McCain used to honorable but now is a complete scum bag.”
Media posts: “John McCain…..honorable.”
As for the MSM polls that have Obama up. Even Fox has him up 7

I’d appreciate it if you would report the news. Palin stumbling in her pronunciation of a word doesn’t qualify. You leave the impression of being pro-Obama by commenting on such a trivial matter.

As usa posted, what is the lie? Palin quoted statements that Obama has said and at least most of us have heard. I am not saying Palin is great, but Obama has made comments that will be costly to many of us. Perhaps some of you are his favored groupies that will benefit. I like Obama’s charisma, but I have not seen accomplishments. All political candidates make promises. Once in office few are kept, not only from their lack of efforts, but also by being blocked by Congress and others.

Perry: The tax break is for 95% of tax paying americans. In additions I would like to add that Obama’s economic policies are crystal clear. Giving the poor a tax break is not comparable to taking money away from the rich and giving to the poor. Taking words like “spreading the wealth” out of context is not only ignorant, it is slimy. Talking down the importance of context is the epitome of foolishness.

discussion good,
name-calling-bad
remember it takes one to know one

Amazing how a good Christian woman such as Sarah can get up in front of a crowd and manipulate the truth into a lie without even a twinge of guilt. Either she’s too stupid to realize her scripts are lies, too lazy to seek the truth, or she’s just a liar and hypocrit.We’re not all as naive as your good pawn Joe the plumber. Either way, she’s stinking up the state I love.

chuck: “Talk about lie.. how about all them MSM polls showing Obama up by so much. ”
Yeah, like that Foxnews poll, or the Strategic Vision (Republican polling house) one. McCain has acknowledged he’s behind in the polls – he’s not an idiot and has his own internal polls too.

“Absurd and disgusting,” how dare those Republicans and other parties use their right of freedom of speech and the right to assemble…LOL Yep, with opinionated Obama supporters like Bea, we are in for an interesting 4 years…BECAUSE AS AN INDEPENDENT WHO HAS THE RIGHT OF SAYING I DIDN’T VOTE REPUB OR DEM..I AM NOT GOING TO KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT…

Sarah, can you say “community organizer”? Wait till day after tomorrow, and you will see what you ridiculed at the Republican National Convention – community organizing at its best, on a grand scale! Obama/Biden – the next President and Vice President of the United States of America. Hate and fear-mongering aren’t working this time, honey.

Ohio and Penna will make or break McCain-Palin tomorrow. That seam along the borders of both states is vital to the GOP. Definition of toss-up right now…
http://www.political-buzz.com/

If the GOP fails to win, Palin plans on becoming an astronaut because she can see the moon from her kitchen window.

If Obama gets elected, I look forward to hearing the liberals whine about all Obama’s broken promises. There are so many promises that Obama just can’t deliver on.

Bea: “People here are turned off by the robocalls and manipulation of the truth by McCain camp. I had 6 robocalls in less than an hour…Absurd and disgusting.”
curiousindep: “”Absurd and disgusting,” how dare those Republicans and other parties use their right of freedom of speech and the right to assemble…with opinionated Obama supporters like Bea, we are in for an interesting 4 years…BECAUSE AS AN INDEPENDENT WHO HAS THE RIGHT OF SAYING I DIDN’T VOTE REPUB OR DEM..I AM NOT GOING TO KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT…”
Did you read Bea’s comment? She is annoyed by the incessant robocalls. Now read your “reply.” ? With your self-persecution delusions are you sure you’re not a Republican at heart?

Sarah needs to go back to Alaska and read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights!
In a conservative radio interview that aired in Washington, D.C. Friday morning, Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin said she fears her First Amendment rights may be threatened by “attacks” from reporters who suggest she is engaging in a negative campaign against Barack Obama.
Palin told WMAL-AM that her criticism of Obama’s associations, like those with 1960s radical Bill Ayers and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, should not be considered negative attacks. Rather, for reporters or columnists to suggest that it is going negative may constitute an attack that threatens a candidate’s free speech rights under the Constitution, Palin said.
“If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations,” Palin told host Chris Plante, “then I don’t know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media.”
Salon’s Glenn Greenwald explains why this argument is frighteningly wrong:
If anything, Palin has this exactly backwards, since one thing that the First Amendment does actually guarantee is a free press. Thus, when the press criticizes a political candidate and a Governor such as Palin, that is a classic example of First Amendment rights being exercised, not abridged.
This isn’t only about profound ignorance regarding our basic liberties, though it is obviously that. Palin here is also giving voice here to the standard right-wing grievance instinct: that it’s inherently unfair when they’re criticized. And now, apparently, it’s even unconstitutional.
According to Palin, what the Founders intended with the First Amendment was that political candidates for the most powerful offices in the country and Governors of states would be free to say whatever they want without being criticized in the newspapers. The First Amendment was meant to ensure that powerful political officials would not be “attacked” in the papers. It is even possible to imagine more breathaking ignorance from someone holding high office and running for even higher office?

Nice try, ABC. The Ohio Coal Association issued their letter today, condemning Obama’s “coal comment” as weel. READ!
Ohio Coal Association Says Obama Remarks Make It Clear: Obama Ticket Not Supportive of Coal
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire–USNewswire/ — Mike Carey, president of the Ohio Coal Association (OCA), today issued the following statement in response to just-released remarks from Senator Barack Obama about the nation’s coal industry.
“Regardless of the timing or method of the release of these remarks, the message from the Democratic candidate for President could not be clearer: the Obama-Biden ticket spells disaster for America’s coal industry and the tens of thousands of Americans who work in it.
“These undisputed, audio-taped remarks, which include comments from Senator Obama like ‘I haven’t been some coal booster’ and ‘if they want to build [coal plants], they can, but it will bankrupt them’ are extraordinarily misguided.
“It’s evident that this campaign has been pandering in states like Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, Indiana and Pennsylvania to attempt to generate votes from coal supporters, while keeping his true agenda hidden from the state’s voters.
“Senator Obama has revealed himself to be nothing more than a short- sighted, inexperienced politician willing to say anything to get a vote. But today, the nation’s coal industry and those who support it have a better understanding of his true mission, to ‘bankrupt’ our industry, put tens of thousands out of work and cause unprecedented increases in electricity prices.
“In addition to providing an affordable, reliable source of low-cost electricity, domestic coal holds the key to our nation’s long-term energy security – a goal that cannot be overlooked during this time of international instability and economic uncertainty.
“Few policy areas are more important to our economic future than energy issues. As voters head to the polls tomorrow, it is essential they remember that access to reliable, affordable, domestic energy supplies is essential to economic growth and stability.”
The Ohio Coal Association (OCA) is a non-profit trade association representing the interests of Ohio’s underground and surface coal mining producers. The OCA represents nearly 40 coal producing companies and more than 50 Associate Members, which include suppliers and consultants to the mining industry, coal sales agents and brokers and allied industries. The Ohio Coal Association is committed to advancing the development and utilization of Ohio coal as an abundant, economic and environmentally sound energy source.

KHO: “If Obama gets elected, I look forward to hearing the liberals whine about all Obama’s broken promises.”
He’s already annoyed the far left by supporting FISA and the Patriot Act. Any voting on his actual record (thousands of votes and several laws written and passed) knows that he’s a centrist. He’s not lying, anyone who bothers to read the 100′s of pages of whitepapers on his site know about what to expect. Nothing radical, but it will be nice to have competence back in the Whitehouse next year (and both main candidates are competent, although Palin’s record is a disaster).

ABC how about checking into those Medical Records Palin promised to give to us before the election.

OMG Sarah Palin is like so exciting!!! She’s like the head cheerleader but not just of her high school, but of the whole Republican party! That’s why it is so exciting when she talks. If she doesn’t like someone, she lets you know it! An once you are on her bad side, forget it! That’s why she’ll beat Obama because she just hates him and everyone knows it. It’s like that state trooper that divorced her sister. I’ll bet he regrets it now! Now where is he going to find a job?

My fellow Americans as you go to the polls tommorow and you feel you cant take the lines or the stress of it think about these things
1 A LYING SENSELESS WAR IN IRAQ THAT HAS KILLED THOUSANDS, AND WASTED BILLIONS
2-AN ECONOMIC DISASTER
3-401K LIFE SAVINGS SLIPPING AWAY
4-UNEMPLOYMENT ALL TIME HIGH
RISING GAS AND FOOD PRICES
5-UNAFFORDIABLE COLLEGE AND HEALTHCARE
Think of all of these things that have happen under a Republican President, with Mccain voting with the Bush Policies 90 percent of time(thats no maverick) AND THINK IF MCCAIN WINS AND SOMETHING HAPPENS TO HIM THAT EVIL, LYING, FRAUD, HATE, FEAR, MONGERING ANIMAL KILLING WOMAN WILL BE YOUR PRESIDENT
So My fellow Americans tommorow STAY IN THOSE LINES VOTE FOR HOPE,CHANGE,PEACE AND PROSPERITY AND A BETTER FUTURE FOR YOU AND OUR CHILDREN!

Where is all the talk about about Biden?
Joe Biden is one-hell-of-an-idiot and a lot more fun to laugh at!
WTH is Joe????

Reasons Sarah Palin would be a good President, if the worst happened to John McCain:
1. She is cute and folksy
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

He did say that Eelctric bills (all enrgy costs) would go up for those that can afford to pay them, but not poor or fixed income people. That it is redistribution of wealth again. He didn’t mention clean coal in SF, but posters here say he is for it. What he has said is he’ll look at alternatives. Looking and using are different things.
Why don’t folks here what he says but decide what he means…Simply being a great speaker doesn’t mean you ignore the message.
Palin is far more qualified that the other three to be President, and far more qualified than Obama for either office. The man has accomplised nothing.

Who is the tool that wrote this article?
You can tell when a liberal writes a piece… they put emphasis on the either the “mis-speaking” or spelling of words rather than the CONTENT! Well, let me make it CLEAR then to the fools out that that would support barack the socialist!
bahhh-rack and his sheeple that follow him are not America… they are socialist, and some are, like William Ayers are ADMITTED COMMUNISTS! “small c communist…” as he was quoted as sayiing!
It will not be long before barack the socialist becomes barack the communist! If you can’t see the forrest for the trees then you are either blind or in on the scam!
NO-bama!

He said if they try to build new plants the cost of his fees will bankrupt the “industry”
———————–
No, that is incorrect. Again.
He said any company trying to build a DIRTY COAL plant under new emission caps (which McCAIN ALSO SUPPORTS) would go bankrupt.
That is not saying “the industry”. Nor does it imply he “wants to bankrupt the industry” as FOX had on their front page today.
And I noticed Palin, McCain , Fox, and the Pubs on here keep leaving out the part that McCain SUPPORTS THE SAME POLICY.
Shhhhh. Don’t tell anyone the truth ok?

Come on everybody, let’s cancel the election and leave Bush in as president! No really, all of the republicans told us he was the answer 8 years ago, and then again 4 years ago.
Come on, republicans know what they are talking about! He was going to be the greatest president ever! So why change? Right republicans? You pick the right president every time? You guys sure now how to pick them!
President Obama! Get use to it!

He didn’t mention clean coal in SF, but posters here say he is for it.
———————-
He said it two different nationally televised Presidential debates.
But I guess, just like the birth certificate crap, you need more proof that he said it?

Angie in PA
NONE of the economic crisis happened until the DEMOCRATS took control of congress! First 100 days my A$$!
You can thank the leaders who control the purse strings: Palosi, Reid, and Barney Frank!
You are a complete idiot… not worthy of an opinion!
Get educated on the FACTS!
As far as Iraq goes… it WAS voted on… and PASSED! You are not worth the energy to explain foreign policy to you! Here is the cliff note version: Laws were broken, warnings were given, they were not headed, we finished a war that was in a “cease fire” state on the premise that certain rules were followed… they were not… SO justice was enforced! PERIOD!
Ya Flake!

The only lying is done by the democrats – to themselves. I can’t wait to see the reaction when all these “lies” about Obama finally come out as truth. There’s going to be some buyer’s remorse…but hey it’s only four long years to live with yourselves…

Hey, did she have pompoms with that speech? Poor McCain. More interested in gimmicks and pandering than picking a candidate that would have helped him get elected.

Greg,
“Palin is far more qualified that the other three to be President, and far more qualified than Obama for either office. The man has accomplised nothing.”
We heard what she was qualified for when she spoke with “Sarkosy”.
Sounds like she could work on one of those erotic telephone lines.
They could call it “heads for heads of state”.

Barack is a socialist… if you cannot see that then you are either blind or in on the scam that is Barack Hussein Obama!

Those who follow Barack the socialist are nothing more than sheeple… Go sheeple … go and follow Bhaaa-rack the socialist!
A bunch of low IQ fools…!

Who’s kidding whom? The U.S. is going Blue and a horrible McCain campaign strategy is to blame… along with the choice of an unseasoned, unprepared VP. But ya gotta wonder whether Palin (SarahSixPack.com) is actually going to be the GOP’s standard bearer, or whether she’ll just be a footnote in history. Obama (ObamaAgain2012.com) is a shoo-in this go-round, and it’s very likely that he’ll effectively use the power of his incumbency in ’12 to win a second term. Question is: Will Palin’s star power within the GOP continue all the way into 2016? Isn’t it more likely that many brighter (!) GOP stars will emerge during the next 8 years?

“Becky”
“Lies. How fitting that Sarah Palin exit Stage Right telling lies.
Lies. Sarah Palin lies.
Sarah, you know what Santa brings to liars? A lump of coal.
Here’s the truth:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=14&entry_id=32228&type=politics”
Oh Becky, how are you SO stupid? I am sure you are READING AND QUOTING the absolutely fabulous work of one of the San Fran reporters without watching the video interview for yourself and drawing your own conclusion. I guess I could expect that from a left-wing socialist nut job like you posting comments on which you know nothing. Please do yourself a favor actually pay attention to the video. Learn something. Then take your dumb butt back to school and learn what constitutes truth and lies. Maybe your parents forgot to teach you that one. Wake up! Quit bashing people for which you know nothing about and a take pride in learning something new about your candidate for president. Here is the video you should have watched before you began running your nasty trap and then you would have seen and heard that come out of your own candidates mouth! You can’t call someone a liar when the content they are speaking of is on video and tape making the statements. Here honey you can start learning with this:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/object/article?f=/c/a/2008/01/18/MNSNUH7GC.DTL&o=0

Curious,
It’s not a suppression of speech for a private individual to assert that a particular type of political advertising is absurd or disgusting. If the government were to take action to ban the speech, that would be unconstitutional. A citizen expressing their opinion during a political campaign is 1st Amendment free speech at its best..

Any reason a crowd of 1,000 is a “small group of supporters” for Palin in this story and the same size crowd is large in a story about Biden?
Amazing how you don’t even try to hide the bias anymore… Or, more likely, you don’t even realize it when you do it…

Hey, Hey, Hey, let’s hear it for McPain and Failin.

obviously the writers of this article have never given speeches. It happens, you pronounce a word wrong. Get a life, that’s all you can say about her??
AND, she is only repeating what Obama said. What? are you so enthralled with the guy that not only do you believe everything he says but now you believe everything that he said but then said he didn’t say but then heck, we’re screwed if BO is elected. All of us, not just the worshippers.

blinded by the one:
You obviously are “blinded” to the inaccuracies of your own party.
You can’t get it right because you are too busy lying!!!!!
You take things out of context and you want everyone to believe the lie!
Anyone who would want Sarah Palin as their President has a loose screw!

Working Man is right – McCain is only for socialism when it benefits the wealthy.
Of course, he wouldn’t call it socialism. His system of funneling wealth to the very few would more accurately be described as aristocracy, in which you need to be born into a family of wealth and political influence to have any opportunity.
Kind of puts the whole Cindy & John marriage into perspective.

That voice! That GOD AWFUL VOICE! It makes mister brown winkie pucker every time I hear THAT VOICE! Its like a scatterbrained Rosanne Barr turned up to 10. If I have to hear that voice after tomorrow I am going to commit a crime…..

Do you realize that if Obama wins the presidency that America will forever be changed..not for the better..but changed to socialism. DO NOT believe Obama; he has changed his policies and programs he wants for America so drastically in the last year only to get votes. He is very radical; he was taught by Communist Frank Marshall Davis; his buddy and he visited in Hawaii; Obama writes about Frank in his first book. His mind is full of Marx like ideas: why would he say he wanted to redistribute the wealth, have govt. matching 401k plans for the “working poor”, etc. He said so many very socialist programs in an video interview which I saw on the internet over a yr. ago. He has not changed; he is just telling you what you want to hear. Do you wish a socialist govt. in the U.S., one that will be friendly with Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, etc. and with the Middle Eastern Nations, but not Israel? Then vote for Obama.

LOL, Brian. Yeah, Mr. Happy kind of shrivels when hearing her too!

Jackie,
how is life in La La Land? What color is the sky there?

Shay–Just what has O man accomplished? Wrote a book about his life before anyone knew who he was…who cares. He’s full of complete crap. The most unqualified person ever to run. You guys can tear up Palin all you want. She has more experience than this empty suit. He’s a crook…look at his buddies. God Damn America? I don’t think so. Rev Wright is evidence enough.

Chris in TN sez: “He’s not perfect but he’s kept us safe following the worst attack on our homeland.”
While it’s true that we have not suffered another terrorist attack I would argue that our security is significantly more at risk than it was in 2000. The main reason is financial. This year we will run a budget deficit of about $1.4 Trillion (after all the bailouts). This, added to our current national debt, will increase our national debt to around $11.5 Trillion. Most of this debt is held by our former enemies – China and Russia. So while we were spending billions to prevent a few bombers from getting through we have sold our nation’s security down the river. All our enemies have to do to take us down is to stop buying T-bills. I bet Bin Laden is laughing is a** off in his little cave. He didn’t have to lift another finger. We did it to ourselves.
I also agree that the current catastrophe we find ourselves in was a bi-partisan one. No one party could screw us this badly

Its all right here guys:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com
it has the average of dozens of polls.. and shows them all too!
Obama is clearly in the lead.. its over McCain, you made far too many mistakes too be considered a diligent president.
McCain is trigger happy, just like he was in the bomber.. bombing civilians.
hero?

Definition: Redneck-A white person regarded as having a provincial, conservative, often bigoted attitude.
She plays “Redneck Woman” at her rallies??? Talk about racism!!

Chris in Texas
Yeah the finacial situation is horrible. You can’t pin it all on Bush. Obama’s economics do not add up mathmatically. When you are in a depressed economic time you don’t raise taxes on employers. People lose jobs, products go up…it’s fundamental. This class warfare crap that O’s been planing is crap. Do ya really think Obama’s going to keep us safe? Hell Chavez endorsed today…he’s be having tea at the White House based on O’s Radical history of friends.

Have we ever gotten an explanation for why Gov. Palin has not released her medical records, despite repeated promises to do so. Is there something embarrassing (or worse) that they are trying to hide until after the election? Could be as simple as a face lift or a tummy tuck, or as serious as an abortion.
It is a legitimate question. Given Sen. McCain’s medical history, the health of his VP could be crucial to the nation’s political stability. Why the secrecy?

What about Bush’s American Dream Downpayment Act?
http://www.hud.gov/news/release.cfm?content=pr03-140.cfm
That was the start of the housing mess in 2003. McCain voted for it along with all the Republicans in Congress. That was how McCain warned about Fannie and Freddie?

Folks, let me clarify something that should be common sense.
How do the rich get rich? By keeping every dollar they can, any way they can. By being conservative with their investments and holding every dime back in bad, or potentially bad times.
When you need money in the economy, like NOW, who spends? Those wh have to. The rich in this country will never be touched by recession or even depression. The issue here is; how do we get the money moving again? You don’t get it flowing by giving more to the rich. They just keep it. That’s the lie of trickle down. That’s why mcCain is so dangerous. he will continue the same stupid misguided monitary policy that got us into this mess.
Folks, if you loved the Great Depression: You’ll love McCain.

Chris in TN – I didn’t pin it all on Bush, although I think he set the conditions that led do it.
Near as I can tell class warfare is being fought equally hard by both sides – “real america” vs. “the other america”, “joe the plumber” vs. the “ivy league elites”, etc. And yes, I’m tired of it too. When picking a President I look first to leadership qualities. I see them in Obama. I do not see them in McCain. In the end I don’t think either of these men would be a “disaster” for the country. Obama isn’t a Muslim anti-Christ, socialist/communist child molester and McCain isn’t the reincarnation of Hitler (Frau Palin is another matter altogether).
As for Venezuela, Chavez is a joke. I’ve spent time in Venezuela and have an abiding trust in that country’s democracy to do the right thing. Like Bush, Chavez will be a bad dream in the past. However, in the meantime we get over 1.1 million barrels of oil PER DAY from Venezuela so we can’t tick them off too much now can we?

Fear tactics, the last resort of desperate politicians. Too bad Mac and Pal haven’t understood that after 8 yrs of Fear Tactics from the Bush admin, we americans have become numb to those sort of things. I want the facts baby, just the facts. Thank goodness for the FACTCHECKER.
Obama hasn’t given any indication that he is not going to be working for all Americans, not just a select few from a particular part of the country. He has used the term “MIDDLE-CLASS” throughout his campaign. Why was Mac and company afraid to say middle-class? Makes one wonder who is is campaigning for, doesn’t it.

energizing? breath of fresh air?
here’s some straight talk for you my friends.
she lies, she’s abused her power as governor, goes off script with wild accusations and lies. sounds like bush is a $25,000 jacket from neiman marcus.
hardly fresh air
enough

bv

we should keep in mind that congress has been dominated by democrats the last four years, and probably will continue that way for the next four.
there’s no point in worrying about the election tomorrow. america is already screwed, and by the end of the next presidency i think we’re gonna find all of our pockets ‘bankruptcified.’

Another popularity contest is almost over…in four years we’ll do it again. Someone once said that we get the government we deserve. From most of the comment seen here we’re in for a rough ride.

Obama should go back to writing socialist fantasy books and leave governing to someone who has some experience at it. He is a media illusion at best. I hope we don’t have to find out the hard way like the last 8 years.

Chris in TN sez: ” Leadership is not the ability to give a good speech. leadership is reflected in accomplishments.”
We agree to disagree. :-)
Accomplishments are a measure of the past. Leadership is a measure of the future. Leadership is the ability to communicate a clear vision and then get people behind you to support and work for that vision. Reagan was a master of this.
I really disagree with all this “wolf in sheep’s clothing” nonsense. He’s been running for 21 months and has been painting the same vision that whole time. Obama will govern from slightly left of center just like McCain would govern from slightly right of center. Each man had to pander to his party exremists to “maintain the base”. Neither individual can turn our country into a “socialist” or “communist” entity. There’s this pesky think called the constitution that gets in the way of any one person wielding that much power.

It is AMAZING!! Obama get’s a break every time. People are using comments because THAT IS ALL HE HAS. There isn’t much to go on. Our Cinti Enquirer is pretty objective I think comparing the candidates. In the some platform ideas McCain has been an early leader supporting/sponsored legislation for example on global warming but then Obama’s list has ( he seems to be stronger in this area by environmentalists)–that is nothing! I just think he has fast tracked to where he is not getting involved or doing his job for this moment. The people he has as stepping stones are critical and cracked. God help us.

Chris in Texas
Yeah you are right one person can not but a majority can Lets see if Obama wins The dems will have the house and the senate they can pretty much write and pass what they see fit

chris in TN ,
The problem is most of them can’t hear Jimmy!!!

“mmmmm….isn’t “clean” coal an oxymoron?”
There are technologies that make burning coal a cleaner process. But plant owners won’t build new plants or retrofit existing plants as long as the costs of dirty energy (acid rain, global warming, particulate emissions, respiratory ailments, death rate increases, etc, etc) are “externalities”, that is, costs that are borne by people other than the operators.
Programs like “cap and trade” take some of the external costs and charge them back to the source of the problem, creating a financial incentive for operators to clean up their act.
That’s why such programs, and the technology to burn coal more cleanly and safely, are proposed by BOTH campaigns.
“Clean coal” is derided by some groups because the pollutants removed from the coal aren’t destroyed, but simply shift from waste stream to another – from gaseous to solid or liquid. Neither campaign has addressed this concern, to the best of my knowledge.

Chris in TN – true. But no matter what they do they cannot amend the Constitution to fundamentally change our Republic. That takes 75% of the state’s approval.
I share you’re concern about one party controlling both the legislative and executive branches. Both parties have abused their majority in the past. But, if the Dems screw it up we can throw a good portion of the house and senate out in 2010. In the meantime it looks like Obama is going to be president and certainly the congress with be majority democratic.
McCain lost my vote when he selected Frau Palin as his running mate. She represents the worst of the conservative movement and I cannot, with any conscience at all, put her any where near the White House.

chris in TN,
I’m with you 100%

Bush wins also when it comes to “wielding” Executive Powers.

Kinda like all this talk about Obama redistributing the wealth. Income disparity in the United States has grown while Repubs have been in power will bring America down if it continues. Time to end socialism for the rich only and do a little redistribution to the middle. Keep talking about it Sarah, and bring the point home to the many Americans on the downside, Obama would be good for them.
Thanks much.

“What about the number of regulations he has put into effect? The greatest of ANY Administration in history. Or don’t you call that “wielding of power”.”
Oh, I agree 100% that Bush abused his power. But who let him do that? It was a bunch of moronic, cowardly democrats in the congress that didn’t do their constitutional duty and oppose the executive when they did these things. The checks and balances are there if the congress had the courage to do their jobs. Bush pushed to see how far he could go and what he could get away with and congress rolled over and let him do it.

Chris in Texas Frau Palin ?
You have got to be kidding. This woman has been the most attacked, for no good reason…I’ve ever seen. You are scared of putting Palin near the White House but not B O? He who has MULTIPLE links to crooks, racists (preacher no less) radicals like Ayers….
The worst of the conservative movement?
Surely you are kidding. She’s a woman with 5 kids who has accomplished something (more than BO) at a young age. So she’s believes in right to life and likes to shoot moose. She’s not an ultra left wing turd like Pelosi. Most women in America aren’t. Only the very loud ones who blog on these sites.
That is stunning….she is harmless and I beleive given a couple of years she could be on her game. Better her than bumbling Biden or Obama.

Point of fact: Obama and Michelle do not have money in off-shore accounts. They both pay taxes like the rest of us.
Point of fact: McCain and Cindy have an off-shore account (that was setup during the Keating 5 scandel) and DO NOT PAY TAXES on that money.
I’m a tax payer, does that make me mad? Sure, but what can we do about it? Nothing. The Feds won’t go after their accounts.

Chris in Texas,
As you say Frau Palin, Herr Senator Obama hat weniger experiance als Frau Palin und diesen Mann will man doch im Weissen Haus haben. WARUM??????

“she is harmless”
She doesn’t believe in basic scientific principles (evolution is invalid and the earth is 6,000 years old) and has no use for higher learning (if you believe her talk about “ivy league elitists).
She is all in favor of “getting government out of our lives” but advocates unprecedented government intrusion into the personal lives of our citizens.
She is semi-literate at best. She claims to have a journalism degree but cannot construct a simple sentence and has no geopolitical understanding of geography I would be ashamed to have her represent this great nation on the national stage.
After 3 months on the campaign trail she still doesn’t know what the VP does in the government. My children learned this in middle school. I guess she was napping.
She is a divisive force and continually attempts to divide us into the “real america” and “the other america”. Tactics like this are deplorable.
I’m a hunter and a fisherman but I don’t shoot wolves from helicopters. She is no “sportsman” and I think her behavior puts all hunters in a bad light. I wouldn’t go into the field with her.
“Bumbling Biden”, while not charismatic, at least has the intelligence to serve as VP.
This is my opinion. You are free to think what you want about her.

“Herr Senator Obama hat weniger experiance als Frau Palin”
What does experience really mean? I’m a politically savvy senior, but I know a lot of younger people that are more qualified then I to be president.

usa – yes, if you count the QUALITY of the experience. Palin was the mayor of a town of 7,000 and is the governor of a state that has less people in it than my school district. While I like my school board president, I don’t think that his “executive experience” qualifies him for VP. According to the current mayor of wasilla Frau Palin’s main duty as mayor was to sign the checks ever thursday. Perhaps Palin thinks that the job of VP is to sign the checks for all federal workers and, ergo, her experience counts as something?
Obama was a state senator for 12 years, is a Harvard-educated lawyer who led the Harvard Law Review (oops! elitist!), and a US senator. His experience is vastly more relevant that Palin’s.

BIG DADDY – you are the most ridiculous idiot (probably a racist redneck, by the sound of it) I absolutely think you are one of the most repulsive bigots that I have read in the past few weeks on any site. Wow, get an education (realizing you dropped out in the 5th grade), drink your beer and watch your football and shut your freaking misspelling pie hole. Get your facts straight. See how it feels to be insulted….you like it don’t you. If Palin ever gets power in the Presidency then I am moving to the worst third world country in the world (it would be better than anything under her simpleton like views) and yours….such a fool

germanguy, don’t put yourself down und ich glaube dass Governor Palin mehr hat als Senator Obama.

Big Daddy
I am voting for Obama and my IQ is 142…how about yours? It doesn’t make anyone some more intelligent to attack another person’s point of view just because you don’t agree with them. I don’t understand why it make some people feel more important to take this tact. Both sides have done too much of that in this campaign.
Look at the issues, read the information presented by both canidates and then make the decision that is best for the nation.
Remember, what might be best for YOU at the time, may not be what is best for the country. Vote with ntegrity and the dignity that has been granted to each American..this means that we have a discussion about what we need not, put downs because we can’t agree.

sank
congress has been dominated by the dems for the past 4 yrs??? my friend, please have your sphincter surgically enlarged so you can pull your head out without causing any further damage

Chris in TN
“Basically what you are saying is Palin scares you because she has Christian beliefs. Ostensably…so does Obama.”
Christians don’t scare me since I am one. Christians that talk about “God being on their side” in an election bother me. Christians that say “God wants us to build a gas pipeline” bother me. Christians who perform rituals in their sanctuaries to purge witches frighten me.
“I have no issues with strong women who stand up for what they believe in.”
Neither do I. In fact I’m married to one. :-) That said, McCain could have picked any number of women who were extremely qualified to be VP – Kay Bailey Hutchinson for one. But he needed to pander to his extremist evangelical base so he picked Palin. If he had chosen someone qualified like Hutchinson he wouldn’t have to play the “comeback kid” in this election.

Pixxed off- There are Doctors for people like you.

Why in the world did focus any aspect of this article on the fact that she stubled over the words “bankrupt?” What are you trying to imply? No one is perfect especially in front of a crowd of people with the adrenalin flowing. Obama has made many mistakes in his speeches on the path to this point but I’ve never seen you point those out or even mention them in any articles. The media is destroying themselves by backing obama…in the end they will only be his puppet and this country will be democratic in principle only but communistic is all other ways. You just wait until you try to publish your first article bashing some aspect of the Obama administration if he’s elected. Your article will be buried and you will the chastized for you unfair treatment of Obama…you may have to get a job at Foxnews!

Chris in Texas
I just disagree. I’m not going to sway you and you aren’t me. I just think it is shameful the way the media has shredded only the second VP candidate in history and given the Dem nominee for President a total and complete pass. Journalism is nearly dead.
This election is about the Presidency anyway. I will sleep beter at night with McCain there than Obama. We are in for tough times regardless of who gets in. Most democrats even do not understand how left Obama is. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow…but one thing is for certain….some idiots somewhere will either riot in celebration or riot in defiance. Glad I will be out of the way.

– If he wins – How can Obama take an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution when he thinks it is incorrect and needs to be changed? –
Oh, so a constitutional law expert and one who has defended the constitution his entire life now thinks it’s ‘incorrect and needs to be changed’..
The amount of stupidity in America today is truly staggering.. and those who actually believe such BS as above are a perfect example of the ignorant blindly buying into anything thrown out regardless of how absurd it may be.

“Using an arm’s length distance from his wife’s assets to shield himself from conflict of interest problems, McCain released only a two-page summary from his wife’s separate 2006 federal income taxes which were filed six months late via an IRS-approved extension, after which Mrs. McCain received a 2007 tax extension until October 15, 2008—just 19 days before the November 4 presidential election—unless she files for an additional extension to hide the profits until after the election.”
It figures. They won’t reveal anything after the elections either.

Lanny Edwards
I’m not going to take a cheap shot at you. Exactly which one’s are lies? I mean we don’t know really. He never gives a straight answer. These two are true and undisputable…he was a member of Jerimiah Wright’s racially charged church for 20 years and sung his praises…until the video. You really think that he never heard some of that venom? Really?
Bill Ayers who bombed the Pentagon was more than “just a guy who lived in my neighborhood”. Tony Rezko, convicted felone…was “just a guy in the hood” also. That’s some damn neighborhood. I’d move.
He has the ability to squash all of these rumors. But he can’t. Because some are very true.

Hey. Did you hear the news?
Palin has released her medical records.
There were no surprises.
As expected, the results of the MRI showed she doesn’t have a brain.

fnp9
Appears you made a slight mistake in your spelling, entelligence is spelled intelligence, just though I would point that out due to the fact that your post was about someone’s lack of intelligence.

I think we need to demand she gives her medical documents to the media – clearly there are some mental issues.

Hey just a quick question — Since Senator Obama seems to be so motivated to “redistribute” wealth from the “haves” to the “have nots”, why is his half brother in Kenya living in squalor on a dollar a month and his aunt Zeituni who he he mentions so prominently in his autobiography now living in a Boston slum? I guess that Barack and Michelle only want to redistribute YOUR money, not their own.

Interesting point there, but I have you trumped… Read this and then comment – http://www.tomflocco.com/fs/McCainsHidingWarProfits.htm

Germanguy:
If you had ever had taken the time to listen to John McCain even once about his military experience, you would have heard him say that he doesn’t “consider himself a hero, but that he served with heroes”. He has always been very humble on this topic — and for you to denigrate his service and sacrifice is quite telling. I’m willing to bet you’ve never put on the uniform in defense of this country. Fortunately, those who have, have defended your right to free speech, regardless of how idiotic your ravings may be. Semper fi!

Pee Vee, Long Island,
Obama has found a new, renewable source of energy which will fulfill 70% of US needs for the next four years:
He’s proposed capturing all that hot air coming from you jerks and using it to drive turbines.

germanguy,
I hear you.
Sadly, I saw a show on TV yesterday about how the tropical forests in Vietnam were destroyed by agent orange and napalm.
They said it is estimated that 5 million Vietnamese were killed in the war. Most were women and children. Many more were handicapped, as were hundreds of thousands of brave you American men who had nothing to do with the politics of that war.
Strangely, the Vietnamese are not angry with America. They are just glad to be free, as they inch towards capitalism.
In the meantime, I’m afraid America has forgotten the lessons we had learned after Vietnam.
There are no good wars, though some, like WWII, are necessary.
I pray we will have a president who will not lead us needlessly into battle, yet who will have the wisdom to know when it’s necessary.

Bust’em
Comments like yours are welcomed by many.

DIEBOLD will decide this election… Stop kidding yourselves.

Obama’s grandmother dies in Hawaii

Bustem, you’re busting my gut making me laugh as hard as I am now after all your jokes. Really, though, keep your day job. Ooops you probably don’t have one. And to answer the Kool-Aid question, “don’t drink the red Kool-Aid” refers to the Jim Jones cult from back in the 1970′s. Are you even old enough to remember that era? Jim Jones was a preacher from over here in the United States. Decided to move his “church” over to Africa to a little town named after himself “Jonestown”. He eventually decided that he was going to play God and had convinced everyone to commit suicide by drinking poisonous red Kool-Aid. Therefore, it’s kind of similar to this day in age with the BO camp handing out their own type of suicidal red Kool-Aid. Please, save yourself though, don’t drink it. IT WILL KILL YOU. And try not to post after drinking it, the jokes are starting to get lame. Thanks for the entertainment and hope you enjoyed your little history lesson.

Alaska is waiting to impeach her so she can forget about the next four years. I hope we never hear or see her again! Can’t say one original thought and trying to talk like Joe Biden now, repeating her sentences…….. Here;s the truth:———-
“The point Obama is making is that we need to transition from coal burning power plants built with old technology to plants built with advanced technologies — and that is exactly the action that will be incentivized under a cap and trade program.”
“After John McCain said he’d like to ‘transition away from coal entirely,’ his campaign is hardly in a position to criticize a coal state Senator like Barack Obama who has outlined a $150 billion investment in clean coal and other technologies to create jobs and build a new energy economy,” Strickland said. “The truth is, John McCain and Sarah Palin can’t name a single thing they’d do differently on the economy than George Bush, so all they have to offer is last minute, desperate distortions. Hardworking families don’t need more Washington-style political attacks, they need a President who will create jobs and stand up for the middle class – and that’s Barack Obama.”

“Decided to move his “church” over to Africa to a little town named after himself “Jonestown”. ”
Ummmm. Actually Jonestown was in South America – Guyana to be exact. I hope you enjoyed “your little geography lesson”.

Thanks Chris in Texas, did you have to look that one up? Did you use an actual atlas (you know a book with the world maps in it) or did you choose wikkipedia? I do say there is something to be learned every day. Now let me give you a lesson, BO is a bad choice, don’t drink his Kool-Aid, it has poison in it. This message is from a registered damacrat.

I like screwing with peoples minds. They are so blind.

You got me….OPPS!

That’s okay. I think you meant OOOPS! Check your typing in the future. Hey Chris, you apparently took the lesson when you responded to my post. Too late, you were caught making sure I had my facts right. Oh and try not to show your intelligence by calling names. I have yet to call anyone else any names. I choose to accept what everyone has to say with a grain of salt and realize that not everyone chooses to be enlightened by world events. You being one of those that choose to be in the dark (calling names). Really, just stick to the “true” facts, avoid name calling and your comments will be taken with far more creedance.

Palin is so an attacker and distorter of facts; no, she is not a good pick for VP; yes…
It’s striking: how little we know. We have issues –and, we have some very serious issues that we know that we need to address, without a doubt– yet, we seldom agree on anything, never seem to be able to find any common ground, and always seem to be left with differences. No solutions, just bitterness. We stand forever divided. Mud flies, everyone gets dirty. It is OK. Things are a mess. There is no progress. It’s OK. Why is it this way? It is this way because we blame, call names, form opposing groups, label one another and forget that we are supposed to be trying to solve problems that we all face in common. McCain – Palin have run their campaign rigt-on these negative lines. Barack Obama has based his on getting beyond all of the ridiculous, mean-spirited, nonsensical divisiveness and stereotypical-labeling that has for far too long defined status quo, bickering American politicking.
I will vote for Barack Obama with all of my heart and soul (I cannot overstate this).
I will support John McCain, equally, if he wins.
**Obama – Biden**
United we Stand…

I am excited that Sarah Palin will be the first woman to be Vice President of the United States of America!
I can’t wait for her to sit next to Nancy Pelosi for the State of the Union speech. A sight to see!

“If they fail to do so, they will be making the biggest (and most heartless) mistake of their lives.”
So if they say they are sorry you will vote for them? Or are you giving some type of death threat?

In Europe, it is a sign of strength and compassion to show humanity.
Just as an observer, if a person is undecided as a voter, then showing humanity could swing the vote either way.
If Palin and McCain show no compassion, then they may lose votes because of it.
Just an observation – that is all.
How your warped mind could make more of that is beyond me. You better see a doctor.

She is such a dipsh*t.

Bran Muffin, I just asked the same question on another blog:
Where are Palin’s medical records? Why has she refused to release them? Is it because they would not show she had a baby this year?

Is McCain ACTUALLY on the Campaign Trail Right now???
I found this picture of him in a HOSPITAL online earlier, it was up on some news site, then all of the sudden I couldn’t find it again, as though The McCain Campaign is covering it up…I managed to Save it to my Photobucket Account…Does anyone know if this is REAL?

A vote for Obama is a vote for Bill Ayers and Rashid Khalidi.

What a joke! Sarah Palin is the disgrace of the Republican party. She is a complete moron who doesn’t know how to speak in correct context, never mind support her BS statements with facts. Do you really want her as YOUR next VP..and potential President of the United States of America? I sure as hell don’t. Do the right thing and vote Obama/Biden 08!!

IF Want to be a TERRORIST , SOCIALIST Like CUBA, IRAN, SYRIA AND CHAVES (Venezuela) ALSO , Vote for B–H–O

Palin is a dumb bitch.. she needs to crawl back up in her mommas ass… PROBAMA

Yeah, and I can see Russia from my back window! What an a–!
