I smell “puppy breath” coming from the White house.

Posted by: Yankee | November 2, 2008, 9:58 am 9:58 am

As I see it, there were two key elements to this election that I noted early on.
The first was a profile more than a year ago in the Atlantic Monthly in which the author said: “Obama’s history is our destiny.” It seems to me that there is a yearning for an end to divisiveness in this country and no issue has been more divisive in the history of this country than race.
The second is something that occurred to me as I considered my own vote in the Democratic primary. I looked back over the last three presidencies: Bush-Clinton-Bush. Was it really to be Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton? I really didn’t like the idea of a permanent ruling class handing the presidency back and forth between the chosen families. It smacked to me of the Roman Republic’s later days. In the end Obama was, if nothing else, clearly a break from that.

Amazing that ABC News leans so predominatley left. Is it possible to get a more substantial slant to the political left on one Round Table discussion. How about some diversity in a discussion so close to a very important Presidential Election. Why would I expect anything more from ABC News. “Amazing”

Posted by: Bill Brown | November 2, 2008, 10:05 am 10:05 am

My prediction for Election Night:
2008 Election:
Obama 489, McCain 49
Which is the same as…
1980 Election:
Reagan 489, Carter 49
I don’t really care much for the Senate or House outcomes, but the GOP is in big trouble on November 4, 2008. No recount will save the GOP this time.
Obama/Biden ’08

Posted by: mhuda | November 2, 2008, 10:07 am 10:07 am

It’s never over until the fat lady sings. But the way it stands, McCain would have to win every single one of the swing states, and most of those are leaning Obama. All Obama needs to do is win one of them (or 2 if he wins NV or NM which are only 5 EV’s each). I’ll be out getting the Obama word out all the way until the polls close on Tuesday, but at this point, it’s looking pretty good.

Posted by: FLVoter | November 2, 2008, 10:14 am 10:14 am

You have got to understand if Obama is elected he will be sort of like Fidel Castro. If no one in the USA is allowed to be rich we will ALL be poor just like in Cuba where no one can afford a new car anymore never mind a new house. He also used cocaine in his 20′s would you hire him if he said that in a job interview? If foreign investors like China and other countries see him as the ‘tax man’ they will no longer invest in America and start investing where its cheaper and more lucrative for them. When the war ends not only the soldiers will be out of work, but all the companies that supply the military will also have massive layoffs thereby hurting the economy even worse. THE COUNTRY IS AT WAR!!! THE WAR IS KEEPING THE USA ALIVE ECONOMICALLY. It employs millions and millions of workers. It generates trillions of dollars for our current economy. Its why we arent in a depression yet! Also the Dems and Barney Frank want to cut military spending by as much as 25% (but not end the war) so this would leave our troops leaving them in harms way these cuts mean they dont get the extra armor for vehicles or body armor etc. For our troops to be outgunned and under armored means we lose the war! America needs to be ready to win the war we are in and any future war. I dont see Obama as a war time leader he is more of a Jimmy Carter. I like the Halloween candy analogy ‘redistribution of wealth’ means one kid go’s out and gets all the candy but has to SHARE all the candy with his brothers and sisters (leaving him not so rich). I dont want to live in the “United States of Cuba” ask any Cuban what its like to live under Castro. Also Obama lies! He even lied about his own Aunt. If he doesnt know about his own Aunt do you want him in charge of national securty???Vote McCain!!! Do you think the terrorists and Islamic Fundamentalists we are at war with will ever surrender?? They have been at war with each other for centuries!! Your childrens and their childrens future hinges on your vote. Vote for a safe USA and world! Vote McCain!

I hate to spoil the party for everyone, but I found “stuff” written by Barrack Obama himself in Bill Ayers own words:
These are writings from Barrack book that are attributed to Barrack on his views of White people. I think this is definitely racist but I guess its OK right?
From Dreams of My Father:’I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.’
‘I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.’
Barrack has a pervasive sense of grievance against me and mine because I am / we are AngloSaxican? Would anyone blame us poor uneducated racist rednecks in PA for not jumping for joy at the thought of the Obamas in the white house?
ya’all know what I am talkin bout?

I think your predictions are off. After reviewing an indepentent poll; the States you are giving to Obama, are tending to be closer to McCain. But then what else is new? I predict Obama 231 to McCains’276. And I do agree with FLVoter about Obama speachs on spreading the wealth, etc., with echos of Fidel Castor. I have studied history and all you have to do is go back to Castor’s speches to understand were the left liberals are coming from. If this is were you want our Country to go then be prepared for what he and the left will slowly start doing to our country; starting with electing judges to the Court who will and want to change our FREEDOMS.

Posted by: lisa2012 | November 2, 2008, 10:42 am 10:42 am

So Obama is going to help me? What is he going to do pray tell? America doesn’t need your kind of divisive change! America doesn’t need to be divided by Black and White by Mr. Obama. We don’t need his racist communist attitudes taught in our schools.
I think his mother made a huge mistake in her choices. I am pro-life, but in this case, I think I you will agree we could have made an exception with Obama and agreed with him.

Posted by: Infidel | November 2, 2008, 10:46 am 10:46 am

It sounds like people are looking for ANY excuse not to vote for a Obama regarding the fact that he is a black man. Here we are in the final stretch and it doesn’t look good for McCain (D white man) and we resort to talking about his momma. Be proud of who you are! If you have a problem voting for a black man then say it but don’t resort to BS comments and allegations as excuses for yourself.

Posted by: MyJewel | November 2, 2008, 10:50 am 10:50 am

Obama gives America plenty of reason, not excuses not to vote for him. Read his book:
From Dreams of My Father:’I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.’
‘I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.’

I’ve got a prediction too…Nov 5th: Obama travels to Chicago to make amends with his buddies Ayers, Flagher, Wright, and all the other radicals, misfits, and whatnot he had to throw under the bus to get elected.

Posted by: Bill | November 2, 2008, 11:02 am 11:02 am

I think that the predictions accurately reflect everything that we’re seeing going into the last few days of this election; the opinions expressed this morning reflect what the polls are showing, and the overall “wave” (as George put it) we’re seeing in the national media. I do think, however, that any victory by the Obama campaign will not be as ‘fantastic’ as predicted. The electoral votes will provide him the presidency, but after a more conservative victory. Great discussion this morinig.

Posted by: Adam | November 2, 2008, 11:03 am 11:03 am

a 12 year old black child in the US who DID not struggle with his identity and the discrimination against people like him would have to be retarded. unlike McCain Obama was not handed life on a silver platter –
I knew his mother — went to school with her — and I am not surprised she produced such an intelligent, thoughtful and reflective son. as a teen she also struggled with the big issues that human’s face — she was a bright curious reflective person.
it is about time we had someone who isn’t shallow and non reflective in the White House.

Posted by: Artemesia | November 2, 2008, 11:03 am 11:03 am

After watching George and George and the others this morning, I have finally made up my undecided Democrat mind! I will vote straight Republican. This country cannot afford to have that many Democrats in office in Washington at one time.

Hold on to those quotes because it may be all you have after Tuesday.
I agree the numbers predicted may be too high and other factors have to be considered but it appears right now that McCain’s being a POW isn’t really selling that much.

I’m an Obama supporter but I have what I think are much more realistic numbers than what ABC is predicting. I have it as Obama 287-McCain 251. Granted I could be wrong, but I don’t see him being able to turn red states in the south blue. I’d like it if he did but I just don’t see it.

Posted by: JE | November 2, 2008, 11:07 am 11:07 am

For you winger buttheads commenting here, ABC isn’t leaning left – and you moes need to stop looking at the ‘independent’ polls that are fun by ignorant backwoods types like you. Obama will win even with you racists and fundamentalists out there trying to keep human beings evolving into decent human beings.
I’d say you should be ashamed of yourselves, but you have no idea what you should be ashamed of. You are lost at sea, trying to pull down any and all other poor saps that come into your grasp.

What is wrong Dave, the guy was 8 years old when Ayers blew up the pentagon? That stuff doesn’t wash here Dave. Obama was a full grown adult when he had Ayers ghost wrote his book for him and he put his name on it.
Ayers was an adult when he wrote Prarie Fire and dedicated it to Sirhan Sirhan. You remember that piece of filth don’t you?
So here come the Chickens Dave, they are coming home to roost. Twenty years with a Black supremecist. Wow Dave. Its in his book. I don’t see the problem with quoting him.

This has been endlessly discussed in depth elsewhere. Google up the “Bradley Effect.” Obama certainly needs every vote he can get to make it over the threshold, but all the analysis possible of polling (including turning up, interesting, that there was NO ‘Bradley Effect’ in it’s namesake’s election) indicates Obama will clear it.

All I can say is that I can’t wait for this to be over. I have enjoyed, stressed, worried, obsessed, analyzed, argued, cried, become frustrated, watched and been consumed by this election for the last year and half. I’m OVER IT. I am done with the endless projection, speculation and arguing. It all comes down to 12:00am November 5th. I believe that Obama will win but I am still very anxious about it all. Whether or not he gets 350 is irrelevant to me, I just want him to get the 270 in whatever combination of states he gets it in. As an Independent female voter in a battleground state, the selection of Palin & the subsequent suspending & unsuspending his campaign stunt, McCain sent me firmly to Obama. I like McCain actually and I think the Republican platform has merits. I think McCain chose the wrong strategy. I think McCain is a good man and an honorable man and I think he had poor judgement in his campaign strategy. With that being said I really can’t wait for this to be all over. We have so many problems in the US and it’s time to work to start solving these problems. I have faith that Obama will be a competent president but what is the great unknown is if he will be an exceptional president. One thing for sure is that Obama should not be underestimated. He is keenly brilliant, I hope that brilliance leads to tangible successes for all Americans.

We will need voices of accountability, nothing is done with this election, it‘s all just beginning.
The fight for people is just emerging. I have believed that would come with either candidate.
Having traveled the Middle East and Asia I am watching with hope, Si Se Pueda. This message is for encouraging and equipping for a greater good.
We need to fight complacency, fear and entrenched power brokers. Use your show and pick up where Russert left off.
I am a registered Independent either man will be against an entrenched power that will not give it up easily. Join up on twitter…Hear from real people.
I look forward to the coming year, you can start looking into India’s shift it’s going to make all the difference….to many.
Blessings,

Infidel why don’t you quote correctly instead of putting your own spin on it?
“I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.”-Truth!
This is an accurate quote from the introduction to Dreams from My Father. The book chronicles Obama’s experience as the son of an African father and an American mother.
“I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.”-Fiction!
This quote does not exist in either of Obama’s books.

It’ll be over soon enough – and then the naysayers will find that Obama runs a sane, balanced economy, not one based on the rapine of the people by the governing classes. He’s a Chicago politician, not Castro, but he cares deeply about the people – he’s one of the first truly working class presidents for a long, long time.
if you have doubts, go read ‘The Shock Doctrine’ by Naomi Klein and thank heaven this man is here to stop its progress.

Posted by: CJA | November 2, 2008, 11:40 am 11:40 am

Hate to burst your bubble but you are wrong. Obama is polling at less than 50% on average. The TIPP poll, which came closer to any of the others in 2004, shows the undecideds doubling Obama’s point spread. Because these people are overwhelmingly older white and are not sure on Obama, they will break heavily towards the more experiened McCain. Two more things: Rasmussen Reports has tracked Obama’s lead in Pennsylvania going from 13 points a month ago to 7 points the other day and down to just 4 points yesterday. When the margin of error is factored in, PA right now is a tie and can go either way. If McCain wins that state, he doesn’t need NV and CO. In regards to the youth vote, Gallup has point blankly said there is NOTHING to indicate a higher than usual youth voter turnout this time as compared to 2004. MR. WILL- You are such a disappointment! Don’t you know that Palin was tapped to be Vice-President and not Secretary of State? She was chosen because she is a Washington outsider and is a reformer. She is not just a talker but is a doer. Look at her record and compare it to Obama’s (oops forgot, he doesn’t have one).

The entire entire staff of the George Stephonopolis show should be fired – on-screen personalities (I can not longer call them newscasters) and off-screen staff for their totally biased news analysis by calling the election before it has happened.. My husband and I were horrified at the total bias on the show this morning (Nov. 2) This type of show should provide info on the issues not that one candidate has already won the election. You should make headline news for attempting to throw the election to the Democrats.
1. Providing a vote tally of early voting – how can you do that when votes are secret – shades of the 2000 election.
2. “Analysts” talking about “ruby red states”, but not “sapphire states”, analysts saying “We will win” Is this showing an unbiased analysis? One who states “if there is a problem in Georgia, I will be down there politicking to fix it.”
3. Early in the program showing clips of the two candidates – only mistakes by McClain and no mistakes by Obama. Why not show clips showing Obama saying he will share the wealth and at least one mistake.
4. Concluding that the Democrats have won the election before the election has happened and votes counted.
It is such biased journalism by national networks that cause viewers to decline to watch your shows any more. Count my husband and I among that group. We have already stopped watching NBC and CBS for the same reason. This morning we watched the most biased news analysis show we have ever seen.
It is interesting that we had just watched the Chris Wallace show on FOX. What a contrast! Chris Wallace interniewed the two campaign managers. We were very impressed with the professionalism of Chris Wallace and the two interviewees. The election was not decided on that show. Why was it decided by ABC?
As you can guess, you will not have us watching your show any more. We will be watching FOX from now on since ABC, NBC, and CBS have abandoned the voters. We can no longer watch to gain information on elections. We are so disappointed in ABC allowing this show that used to be much more unbiased to decline to such abysmal manipulation of the election.

You claim Obama said:

OBAMA NEVER SAID THIS – IT IS A LIE AND SLANDER. This quote (starting with ‘he’ instead of ‘I’) is actually from Steve Sailer in a review he wrote for The American Conservative.
Simple question: Are you lying or are you basing your opinion of Obama on lies? Either way, why should anyone place value in your comments?

You disrespect every man and woman whoever died for this country when you do that. Like the Muslim American who died for this country, aged only 22. He died – so his parents could be called “Muslim” like it is a slur? So people like you could make cheap, racist jokes? His death helps to give you the right to your free speech, foul as it is. When you have learned to respect and honour his sacrifice? Then tell us how much you love this country. If you ridicule the people of America, then you don’t love America. All you love is dirt.

Infidel, Bill, Republican Paulie,
You people are unhinged. There’s not 5 percent of evidence in reality that Obama is such a threat to the US as there was against Bush in 2000, and you paid no attention to that, and look where we are now. What US citizens dislike now about their country, showing in poll after poll, is directly attributable to Republicans, with special thanks to you drama queen cheerleaders. Your party screwed things up so royally heading the govt for the past 8 years that Michael Dukakis could win this election. Get a grip – the country’s looking for real adult leaders who want to tackle the real problems (many created and all exacerbated by the Republicans), not for the winner of the who-can-call-the-nastiest-names or who-can-find-the-worst-person-the-opponent-has-ever-said-hey-to contests. Where was this hysterical concern when real American lives were pledged to be lost going into Iraq? Oh yeah, I remember – it was spent screaming “traitor” at those who thought maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to let known liars promising cakewalks bully us into it. Yeah, let’s keep that war going since it’s the only thing keeping the economy going – yep, that’s surely what Jesus what do. You know, we’d rather have you people working with us and discussing the issues rationally rather than screaming that what a man thought when he was twelve should obviously disqualify him as President, but if you want to continue marginalizing yourselves, enjoy! You Republicans haven’t done a lot of good for the country in the past 14 years, and unless you wake up to the fact that most Americans have woken up to your fictions and start contributing something useful to society besides the taxes that we all pay, you’re doomed to ranting pointlessly in Comments columns no one cares about and being about as useful as a hole in your pipes.

Posted by: jk | November 2, 2008, 11:48 am 11:48 am

It is true, it is not over until the fat lady sings. Okay so lets face it the best thing that can happen to our country now is if Obama wins. If people are scared about this outcome then in my humble opinion it is because they 1)don’t understand the real issues America faces, 2)they have been sold the idea that he is a socialist (wrong again), OR 3)skin color is important to them. In our country’s history now, the Obama/Biden presidency will have much more positives then negatives so let it be so!

Posted by: Bill Steel | November 2, 2008, 11:48 am 11:48 am

I am very concerned with the US Democracy that cannot arrange a voting process that can be trusted and that allows people to vote swiftly in stead of waiting for 8 hours before they can cast a vote. By then most people will have given up. I am also concerned with the nazi like processes by some groups that hinders minorities to vote. US needs an observation group from rel democracies in Europe. (In the last Florida election such a group filed a very negative report.) Having lived in several countries I can testify that even in some lesser developed country the democratic process works better than in the US.

I believe what an earlier poster said that America is tired of being us vs. them, red vs. blue, American vs. UnAmerican, if you’re not with us you’re against us type of BS. I know that I’m tired of the Bush speak for the last eight years. The gop has torn Ameica apart and look where we are headed. America needs help now and Obama is the one to bring us back together.
And some of you should feel comfortable in the fact that even under the Obama administration you will still be protected under the Americans With Disability Act.

I can’t believe the ridiculous statements out of the mouths of McPalin backers like “if Obama is elected no one will be allowed to be rich” … It amazes me how there are so many people making less than 250,000 per year that are worried about the bank accounts of people making millions. Do CEOs making 10-20 million a year work harder than the average worker? Absolutely not. They benefit off of the labor of those making a hell of a lot less. So what’s the problem if we tax them a little higher. an additional 4% ( pushing the top bracket back up to the 39% it was before we started sliding into this Bush/Cheney depression ) isn’t gonna affect us average folks, and it’s really not gonna hurt those millionaires either. All you people screaming at Obama … what’s your plan for paying off this incredible debt that this incompetent and arrogant Republican President has left us? What’s your plans for schools? What’s your plan for roads and bridges? … You have no plan. Your vote is out of the fear of someone different. Barack Obama is gonna heal this country. And if he doesn’t? Then in 4 years you have the opportunity of voting for Sarah the Hockey Mom.

The United States of Cuba? Just saying it makes me want to spit on the ground! OK now think hard people be rational about whats going on in the USA today. The auto industry is failing. Jobs have already left for overseas or gone to cheap labor. How will “Castrobama” put those things back. Its like trying to rebuild detroit it will never be the same. Japanese car makers are scaling back too. Ever wonder why everyone in Cuba drives an old car? They dont make them there either so they are too much money. Everyone but the government is poor. Obama claims he can get us more jobs but how? Pay off big companies to hire us? Wont they keep the money for bonuses? The guys middle name is “Hussein”. You claim to support him and be a patriot and want to help the USA? Shame on you. The Revolutionary War, The Civil War, Korea, ,Vietnam, Kuwait, Iraq dont you see war with Iran coming? Who do you want in charge? Our country was based on wars for liberty, civil rights and freedom. What country are you from? I am from the USA. There arent as many jobs. Pick up a Sunday paper today! See how many jobs there are? Who is hiring? Its November before Christmas 2008! Wake up!!! Here are some great democrat-related words to remember. Clinton, Vince Foster, Whitewater, Edwards, Jennifer Flowers, Monica, Obama, Biden, Barney Frank, Pelosi, Congress. Think where you want the future of your country to be?

Obama will win in a landslide. Democrats will pick up enough seats in the Senate for a filibuster proof majority. House Democats will finally “drain the swamp” with 20+ pickups. African-American voters will turn out in far greater numbers than any of the pundits have predicted changing close races to wins for the Democratic party. Speaking of partys I’ll be having one Tuesday night to celebrate a hugh victory for our Country. All you Republicans out there – get used to being in the minority as the nation’s citizens come to their senses. We are all going to be laughing at you. Eight years of the worst President and most corrupt administration of our lifetimes is over. So leave the Country if you want. You probably would feel more comfortable in Cuba or China where the government freely listens in to you phonecalls and puts people in jail without charges or right to a trial. Bush was so arrogant and insulting to Democrats back when he had power. We don’t hear much from him now. He’s stunned at his own incompetence. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. The Republican party will wear this albatros for many years. Change is coming and there is nothing you can do about it but sit there and stew in your own ignorance while we are laughing at you.

To Infidel and ALL of you posting entries about quotes from Obama’s book, saying he is a Muslim, we’ll end up like Cuba, Ayers is his buddy, Ayers wrote his book, he did cocaine, he’s a socialist, he’s a Marxist…blah, blah, blah…
You have chosen to bury your heads in the sand (or up McCain’s bum)and ignore the MONTHS and MONTHS of articles and writings from NON-PARTISAN sources that prove what you are saying/believing/spouting off ARE LIES.
Snopes.co, just ONE of those non-biased sources, has stories on EVERY ONE of the whining allegations posted here, if any of you cared enough about the truth to check it out.
I’ve received MANY similar articles about McCain from my Republican friends,and I actually took the time to check out each story for its accuracy before either passing it along as true or returning it to them as false.
It is beyond my hope that you will ever do so, because if you wanted the truth, you would have found it by now.
Instead, you represent everything wrong with our country…you are willing to be blindly led without a mind of your own, down the path of hate and divisiveness, and you are frightening.
After months of watching, I proudly voted for Barack Obama. I think if he is elected, he will shoulder one of the most terrible burdens of any president in our history.
At the same time, I think he will not only lead us out of this morass, he will create a historic and lasting legacy as both a great man and a great president.
He has the weight of TREMENDOUS hope and expectation on his shoulders, but he can’t do anything without some help. The American people need to quit living divided by hate and start pulling together, or we’ll NEVER get a president who can do what we need him or her to do.

OBAMA IS A CANCER ON THE USA AND WE HAVE JUST ONE CHANCE TO REMOVE HIM NOW NOV 4th. The United States of Cuba? Just saying it makes me want to spit on the ground! OK now think hard people be rational about whats going on in the USA today. The auto industry is failing. Jobs have already left for overseas or gone to cheap labor. How will “Castrobama” put those things back. Its like trying to rebuild detroit it will never be the same. Japanese car makers are scaling back too. Ever wonder why everyone in Cuba drives an old car? They dont make them there either so they are too much money. Everyone but the government is poor. Obama claims he can get us more jobs but how? Pay off big companies to hire us? Wont they keep the money for bonuses? The guys middle name is “Hussein”. You claim to support him and be a patriot and want to help the USA? Shame on you. The Revolutionary War, The Civil War, Korea, ,Vietnam, Kuwait, Iraq dont you see war with Iran coming? Who do you want in charge? Our country was based on wars for liberty, civil rights and freedom. What country are you from? I am from the USA. There arent as many jobs. Pick up a Sunday paper today! See how many jobs there are? Who is hiring? Its November before Christmas 2008! Wake up!!! Here are some great democrat-related words to remember. Clinton, Vince Foster, Whitewater, Edwards, Jennifer Flowers, Monica, Obama, Biden, Barney Frank, Pelosi, Congress. Think where you want the future of your country to be? Think rational about reality now today. Who is really going to help you but yourself. Not Obama.

Great.Socialism here we come, Obama will be an abscessed wisdom tooth that will take 4 years to remove. Unless some nut case does it earlier. This country is more obsessed with the black/white issue than what this man truly represents. Wake the hell up people! McCain/Palin 08, it’s not too late.

Canada is nice, or Alaska, they LOVE Palin or some other nice destination away from the horror back here in the US as the “commie” Obama take all of the money and property away from whites and gives it to blacks and then surrenders in Iraq and makes Islam the official religion of the USA. So if these loonies will just get on a plane and hit the road we can get to the business of supporting PRESIDENT OBAMA to heal this coountry.

I want Obama to win but, being a typical democrat, I still have my fingers crossed until the results come in.
I agree with an article by Charlie Cook. If Obama wins he will turn out to be an executive like Jindahl. Competent, smart and cautious and pragmatic.
I seriously doubt he will be a typical dem or go overboard and will keep congress in check. I think he will also reach out to the other side in efforts to heal the terrible partisan divide that is so destructive to our country.

The majority of Americans will not elect the socialist/marxist Senator from Illinois.
1. He is a friend of anti America terrorist Ayers whose friend his Hugo Chavez who is buddying up with the Soviets.
2. Attended “God Damn” America Rev. Wrights church for 20 years…but never heard him say anything bad..in fact he is the best that black pastors have to offer.
3. Trained in radical organizer S. Alynskis methods and techniques
4. Mentored by communist Frank Marshall Davis while in Hawaii
5. What’s up with Khalidi? I guess we’ll never know since the LA Times is withholding the tape
6. Play’s the race card to his advantage
7. His thugs tried to destroy Joe the Plumber after he (Obama) stuck his foot in his mouth…”Spread the Wealth”
8. He is not for life and will enable abortion
9. He will create an activist Supreme Court that will negatively impact America for years and years
10. His economic policies will destroy jobs and kill small business…and large business
11. His environmentalist policies will cost billions….and there is no man made global warning!
12. He won’t drill for much needed off shore oil in an effort to hasten our independence from foreign oil
13. He will pull out Iraq prematurely and destroy the potential democracy and stable ally in the middle east…0 deaths in the month of October. Thank God for our brave soldiers who have fought and won a difficult war and saved untold Iraqi lives.
14. Did I mention that Bill Ayers dedicated a book to Sirhan Sirhan
15. He was in a shady real estate deal with Tony Rezko
16. Can America… or the World for that matter survive an Obama, Pelosi, Frank, Schumer, Reid, Durbin, Emanuel rule?
17. The Democrats were primarliy responsible (and Obama was knee deep in it) for the current economic crisis brought on by the sub prime melt down. Obama received the third highest dollar contribution from Fannie and Freddie behind Chuck Dodd and John Kerry.
18. ACORN – need I say more
19. Obama constantly puts down America…China is better, everything is wrong with America…Last I checked we were still the greatest Nation in the World and still the land of opportunity…at least for now.
20. That trip to Hawaii was a bit suspicious wasn’t it?????
21. He will weaken our National defense…and just like Biden said he will be tested with an International crisis and we won’t like how he responds.
22. Is it $250K, $200K, $150K or $140K?????
23. Obama – “I will bankrupt the coal industry with fines”
ZOGBY SATURDAY: Republican John McCain has pulled back within the margin of error… The three-day average holds steady, but McCain outpolled Obama 48% to 47% in Friday, one day, polling. He is beginning to cut into Obama’s lead among independents, is now leading among blue collar voters, has strengthened his lead among investors and among men, and is walloping Obama among NASCAR voters. Joe the Plumber may get his license after all…

It says a lot about the modern-day conservative movement that the right-wingers posting here think that a prediction of Obama’s victory is the same thing as support for Obama.
George Will and Matthew Dowd are longtime Republicans, who have actually worked for Reagan and Bush. Mark Halperin is a right-leaning journalist and pundit.
The fact that these conservatives think that Obama is likely to win does not mean that ABC News has a “liberal bias.”
The morans who can’t understand this are doomed. So is their party. Ignorance has had its day for 8 years. No more.

Then George said, “What if we are all wrong?” People will live remembering this decision a long time; they want it to be right.
Barack Obama and the Democrats refuse to stop the right to an abortion (killing of our child before it is born). He refuses to try to stop same gender marriages which will cause confusion for children deciding their marriage partner. His wife proudly said Barack made time to read four (large) Harry Potter (witchcraft, sorcerer) books to his very young children. He cannot end a holy war against our God rejecting ways because he insists on keeping them. He has no power. We cannot expect his other decisions to embrace God’s commandments. He overspent on unneccesary, extravagant, excessive advertisement using donations from people who are not rich. He doesn’t show evidence toward responsibility with other people’s money. His people discredit Governor Palin as unqualified, yet he does not have even as much experience governing anything. She has been a mayor and a governor as well as a business woman. There is indeed audacity to hope in this man.
(1Samuel 28: God took King Saul’s kingdom from him and gave it to David for disobedience and going to a witch. 1 Samuel 15:22 …’to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. :23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.”)
Revelation 21:7, 8
7 “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My son
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”

These crack-pot theories from uneducated rednecks are real similar to Elvis sightings. When the fat lady sings for the corrupt republican party tuesday night perhaps reality will set in for these religious nuts kooks and Fox News boneheads. Go back to school and get some kind of education. Nine out of ten of these pro McSame people don’t even know what socialism is. Go look it up. McSames tax breaks for people making over $650,000 will cost our Country $300 billion dollars. These people have had a tax reduction for the past seven years due to the Bush tax cuts. They expire in 2010. Maybe you want to go on running up our massive budget deficite for our children but I don’t. Read the two tax plans instead of having your some idiot on Fox explain it to you. Most everyone in America that has worked they way up to making over $650K has had the benefit of paying the lower tax rate while climbing the latter. You are truly a fool to want and give people making over $650K an additional 10% tax cut at our (the rest of us) expense. Have the wealthy been out there fighting for you for the last several years-hell no.

Castro did the right thing. His country had been taken over by corrupt US proxy forces when Castro emerged. From his perspective he was a hero who was defending his own country from invasion. Why cannot people see this? he was as much of a hero as McCain; with the difference that all McCain has to show for, objectively, is a failed military mission.

As nice as that may sound to “democrats”, that is never good for the country.
One has to remember why we have a two party system and the branches of government.
So, be it as it may, it looks like the democrats are going for that filabuster proof majority in congress. I don’t think I can just hand over that kind of power. Because I as a citizen with enough years of obversation and the history of this country can understand that both parties are corupt. No party should ever have total control over government.

I predict Obama will come within 10 EV of 300, one way or the other. As for the rest…
Face it. Either man will let us down. Either man will do something stupid. They’re human beings, after all. Either one will encroach on our freedoms in one way or another. The ‘conservatives’ here seem to be decrying Obama as sharing the wealth while ignoring the fact that Bush is infringing on my right to talk with my mother over the phone in private. Which one isn’t totalitarian in some form?
For those so concerned about Ayers, et. al., I guess we’ve long forgotten about the likes of John Brown, who raided a federal arsenal at Harper’s Ferry as part of an effort to free black slaves. So is he a terrorist or hero? Ayers, regardless of how you view his past, has had – and taken – the opportunity to change his ways.
There is a bit of legitimacy to some of Rev. Wright’s comments, even in this supposedly ‘progressive’ era.
If you’re really worried about black supremacy, I suggest living for about 3 years in the nearest poor, predominantly black neighborhood. Attend and join a local black church. Observe the differences in the way fellow whites treat you. Observe how blacks change their attitude toward you, as a person. Also, observe your own attitude changes regarding race and racism.
And no, one week or even 6 months won’t work. You really need at least 2-3 years. Even with a culturally diverse circle of friends, you’d be surprised at the changes you’ll experience.
One interesting fact is that a number of theologically-conservative, black Christians vote democratic, despite agreeing with white evangelicals on a number of theological issues.
I do hope that Obama will be able to earn the trust and respect of his opponents. How will he fail us? That remains to be seen.

RE: Posted by: Buzzy | Nov 2, 2008 12:40:03 PM True there were many problems in Cuba before Castro. Castro took the country from bad to very bad. Instead of a country with rich and poor he “shared the wealth” and made it a country of all poor – except for government officials. Castro was a socialist all along but vehemently denied it until he took power. That is exactly why many Americans are afraid of Barack Obama.

Everything that these right wing lunatics are saying is a joke! They do no research, they just spout out and parrot the first thing they hear about the Democrats. Sad really. If Colin Powell were to run, this Democrat would most certainly vote for him, due to the fact that he showed intelligence by bailing out on the Bush administration when he realized he had been lied to about the WMD. Why on earth are we paying billions of dollars a year to fight a war in Iraq when they have a 79 billion dollar surplus. Shouldn’t Iraq be paying us to help fight their war? Everything the Bushbots have done, is just so screwed up. I look forward to having Obama as President. Someone with ideas that actually work. Your Mr. Bush has destroyed this country! Oh….and George W Bush smoked cocaine
when he was in college, and still got elected…..Hum, that’s strange!
Sure, John McCain was a POW, and then when he returned home, he cheated on the wife, who had waited on him those five long years. Hm…..sounds like a good moral guy huh?

If we in the United States could just get rid of racism, we would be a great country.I have travel all over the world and racism really appears to be a drawback in this country.There have been 43 Presidents.What’s the problem with the 44th not being 100 per cent European? Obama is very intelligent and as a young person he has a vision for the country.We need to give him a chance and if it doesn’t work,he can be removed.Something has to be done differently for this country to move forward. The petty stuff needs to stop.We are all on the same ship.I’m willing to give the guy a chance.What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

Looking at some of these blogs this is sooooo stupid. Are we not in the 21st century people. If he was white then this would not be a issue at all. So what if he used cocaine when he was younger. Wasn’t Bush Jr a alcoholic and look what happened to him.
People are scared of change without understanding change is going to happen one way shape or form. Change is good thing sometimes. And if Obama does not do a good job (heaven forbid, how many told you so’s would we have) can’t we vote him out in 4 years.
I am a American and I very much love my country. However some of American companies did set themselves up for failure. Remember the 1st rule of business. Always anticipate the market and change and adapt. Alot of American companies did not do that.

353 electoral votes is not much of a “prediction.” It is just a tally of the states where Obama happens to be at least slightly ahead in the polls right now. I would be rather surprised if Obama wins North Carolina, although it may depend on which way the tide is turning.

Posted by: jock59801 | November 2, 2008, 1:20 pm 1:20 pm

I have not decided as to whether or not I am going to vote for Obama.
Method to my madness….
In these final days, we are getting to also know whether or not the democrats will have a super-majority in congress.
As nice as that may sound to “democrats”, that is never good for the country.
One has to remember why we have a two party system and the branches of government.
So, be it as it may, it looks like the democrats are going for that filabuster proof majority in congress. I don’t think I can just hand over that kind of power. Because I as a citizen with enough years of obversation and the history of this country can understand that both parties are corupt. No party should ever have total control over government.
This is the reason I vote to control the damage done by a single party controlling government.

This election is said to be about the economy. I predict that if McCain is elected we will still have a recession. If Obama is elected we will have a depression.

“Amazing that ABC News leans so predominatley left.”
George Will isn’t conservative enough for you? Or do you just not understand who George Will is? My bet is on the latter, as it is much easier for Fake-Maverick McCain/Idiot Palin supporters to blame it on the media instead of the fact that the GOP has lost touch with the country, as most of us reside in the middle of the politcal spectrum.
I am so exhausted of the hard righters out there discounting the entire media as liberal extremists. I have GOP associates who have dismissed empirical data from sources such as the WSJ and the Economist as liberal because it didn’t support their candidate.
It will be interesting to see the reaction on the right when it wakes up on Wednesday morning and realizes how far it has fallen after being hijacked by the evangelical wing of the party.

Professor, I certainly did vote for Clinton, as you remember, the Monica incident didn’t happen (or wasn’t brought to light) until after the election for his second term. It’s not right in any situation. Here, however, if you’re so against it, you have a chance to NOT vote for McCain candidate in advance. Also, what kind of example is Sarah Palin to all of the little right wing conservative girls out there, when she has a sixteen year old knocked up daughter. You Bushies have a very warped sense of reasoning. I too, hope you don’t teach a class in logic!

The truth is that both McCain and Obama are good men, intelligent and knowledgeable. Both want to do what is best for America. They disagree on what that requires, and our job is to vote for the one who most agrees with our own views on what we should be doing.
That is why I am voting for Barack Obama, because I agree with him most of the time, and do not McCain. I am voting for Obama because he is the first candidate in a long time who seems to talk to us like we are intelligent adults. Because every issue I have heard him speak about, I have been impressed with his knowledge of the complexities and balances involved. He is willing to listen to ALL points of view, and then he makes up his own mind.
I am voting for Barack Obama because he has shown an understanding of the need to return fairness and justice to America and the world. We have been waiting for such a candidate for a very long time, and were starting to despair of it. The craving for real change is much deeper than people seem to realize. It will not be denied.

How will Obama invest in America and create jobs for Americans? How exactly? By bribing big businesses in his pocket with money? Whats to stop more ‘bankruptcy for profit’ from these companies. Whats to stop the big CEO’s from taking the money and using it for big bonuses for themselves and keep outsourcing? Find one piece of proof that Obama can live up to that promise. Or is the auto industry and our jobs forever doomed to cutbacks? What happens if we lose the Iraq war because of Obama. They will cut military spending on our soldiers (our family members) armor! Cut it by 25%??? To save who? Who gets that money? Obama and Barney Frank and Pelosi and a 2nd bailout? Come on! We need to win the war and take back our jobs.

If Obama is going to bring a “Change”, then why in the world is he considering mostly Washington “insiders” for his “team” ?
People in this country like to jump on a bandwagon of any sort when it looks like a team or a person will win. A good example is found in sports. A team that can’t even fill half a stadium finds it standing room only if they have a good season and make the playoffs. People rush out to buy sports paraphernalia and will stand in line for tickets while many of them wouldn’t know a football from a hockey puck. They want to crow “I picked the winner”.
When electing a president, we all become the loser if the wrong choice is made. If we get a Democratic super majority, we’ve elected the same type of problem we’ve seen the past 8 years. When one party controls the senate and congress, it frees up politicians to continue to support the lobbyists. Americans are just the pack mules to carry the costs.
Electing the president is the minor part. Voting straight tickets is committing suicide.

Elaine Day Clinton’s affair with Gennifer Flowers incident was widely discussed prior to the 1992 election and he even admited it on national television. I guessing that you were wearing the same blinders then that you are now. Actually there have been numerous stories — many substantiated — about Clinton cheating and lying. With Clinton cheating and lying were (are) a way of life. We know for a fact that he will look Americans in the eye on national television and lie to them and that he will lie under oath in a court of law — and yet Democrats “trust” him. Amazing.

Senator Obama is a walking, living, breathing phenomenon. If people cannot see what he’s about, they are missing out on an important part of existence. He possesses so many traits that are intrinsic to life in a society. Family, service to others, compassion, sense of humor, heart, drive, ambition. Senator Obama has it all. And he has the prayers of millions to back him up. Too bad the neo-cons cannot say the same about their candidate.

The reality is that the President has little to do with the economy. He or she cannot tax, spend, or borrow a single dime without Congressional approval.

Obama Lays Plans to Kill Expectations After Election Victory: By Tim Reid, The Times of London
“Confident in an Election Day win, the campaign looks to lower supporters’ expectations on concerns their hopes of ‘change’ are unrealistic, a senior aide says.”
“Barack Obama’s senior advisers have drawn up plans to lower expectations for his presidency if he wins next week’s election, amid concerns that many of his euphoric supporters are harbouring unrealistic hopes of what he can achieve.”
“One senior adviser told The Times that the first few weeks of the transition, immediately after the election, were critical, “so there’s not a vast mood swing from exhilaration and euphoria to despair”. Read the entire story at:

Infidel, you’re kind of obsessed with this “Dreams of my Father” stuff, huh?
Look, Obama made those comments about his views towards whites because he was thoughtfully critiquing his own biases in order to learn from them and change. Have you ever wondered why it is that you are so scared of an Obama presidency? Have you taken stock of yourself and your own biases? It certainly doesn’t seem so from your comments.
As for fear of one party control — George Bush has been the worst president in the history of this country. That is something that 80% of Americans can agree on. What this election will do is send a message from the voters, that if you govern badly you get punished at the voting booth. It’s a good thing that Americans are sending a strong message and demanding better. It’s the best way we have to keep politicians honest. If voters aren’t satisfied after two years they’ll get another chance to change Congress. But right now, a Democratic super-majority would be the best thing that ever happened to Republicans — it will force them to change for the better.

Posted by: jmay | November 2, 2008, 1:43 pm 1:43 pm

The election of Barack Obama will confirm what those of us who rejected bush in both 2000 and 2004 knew. The far-right idealism spewed by rove, cheney, bush, and their cronies would damage and divide the country. We’re seeing the same sort of venom come out of the mouths of McCain and his idiot VP choice while Obama is staying on topic. Anyone who thinks that anything would change under a McCain/Palin theocracy is clearly off their rocker. Vote for real change. Vote for the man who is the most presidential candidate since Robert Kennedy. Vote for Barack Obama. He will lead. He will unite. He’s not a whiner. And he’s certainly not an idiot.

I am now a national gaurds man and a contractor in kuwait. You dont know what your talking about the soldiers loosing there jobs? Are you really that stupid as to think they would just had them all pink slips or something once the war is over? You really are retarded. Also as far as the contractors go my friend we are hoping for an end. We are starting to beef up to get ready for it we will have so much work at least 3 years of overwelming work(after they end it for good). Do you think that the equepment thats here and in Iraq will simply melt or we will just leave it or something? You know how much stuff it there we will have to prep fix transport? Not to mention that even after all that the equipment will get staged here and qutar and we will stay right here and maintain it till they need it again. So before you open your mouth you should first know what your talking about

I am sincerely proud of Barak Obama. Not just because I am an African American; but, because this man, who happens to be of mixed race, is not only qualified for the job, of President of the United States, but has compassion and love for his fellow man.
I admit that until he came along…the idea of race politics that is associated with the old guard of black politicians continually gave those who were prejudiced against blacks a reason not to elect a black President. However, in that Obama is calling for the end of divisiveness these rednecks are still looking for excuses. And, in doing so proves just what the old guards have been talking about all along. It saddens me. The man repeatedly says that folks making over $250,000.00 a year will see no tax increases; yet, those following McCain are still spreading the lie.
Yes, we need a CHANGE. And, it will come whether you folks want it or not!

Republican_paulie:
Here are the facts. Your party has controlled both houses of Congress for nearly all of the last 14 years. During the short periods that the Republicans (NOT GOP, BUT POG–Party of Greed) have not controlled the Senate, they have raised the use of the fillibuster to unprecendented levels of obstruction and have essentially controlled the legislation that could be passed. The POG occupies the White House. The POG has failed at every government mission they have attempted for the last eight years. You truly have proven that government doesn’t work. However, there are some things that government can and should do. And Democrats will do those things far better than you have. You have propagated the worst kind of fraud on the American people the last eight years. Get past your sour grapes and admit that you have failed. Obama will do more to heal the differences between us than McCain could even imagine. He is just another pathetic flyboy in the tradition of W. McCain scuttled two Navy planes before he ever got close to Vietnam. Without powerful daddy and grand-daddy in the Navy, he should have been grounded for the wreckless disaster he was a youth. Hmmm…sounds a lot like the Current Occupant. McCain-Palin is a potential nightmare of the highest order. They will lead us into a certain fiscal disaster and likely into more wars.
See–we can rant,too. We just like to use some facts.

Real conservatives were not happy with the president and the congress. We sent the message in ’06.
So you can curb the little rant of “I never heard….”. Just becsause we may not be out holding a sign, singing some chant in a group outside does not mean we didn’t say it. I said it where it really mattered, in the voting booth.
If you are that ignorant to think that the democrats are not just as criminal as the republicans, you are in for a real rude awakening. Surely you can’t be that much of a partisan hack.

Posted by: Jake GC | November 2, 2008, 1:54 pm 1:54 pm

I as a military wife have to finally say something to republican paulie here.You say that you think that the democrats will leave the soldiers underfunded and not having the equipment that they need for the field. You must have forgotten that bush and his moron of a defense secretary already did that a few years ago. Remember when a soldier asked rumsfeld a question about armour and all rumsfeld could say was”you go with the army that you have not with the one that you wish you had” that to me as a military wife is unacceptable.Rumsfeld was a complete and utter moron among other things.Military members families had to buy the armour for their son,daughter,husband,wife,etc because the government (republican at the time) did not supply these guys with the things that they needed, so don’t even say to me that the democrats would not supply everything for these guys that they would need. It was the democrats that gave money to the pentagon so that they could build that hummer to withstand IED blasts, just another thing that the rebublican congress/ president did not do for the troops when they had control and that is why we all need a different person in the White House that will not just help the military but everyone. I am a white woman here in Florida and I will be voting for Sen Obama.

Professor…..tsk,tsk,tsk, you obviously watch way too much Faux TV. I watched all of the Jennifer Flowers stuff on TV and never once heard Brother Bill say it was true, but you go ahead and believe Faux News, as it’s obvious you always do. The Repugnants also tried to find a scandal at Whitewater, but as usual, didn’t find a thing. I’d like to know what you think about G. Gordon Liddy who calls John McCain a “great friend?” He is also considered an American terrorist, or were you watching Faux News again when this came out? Bush didn’t lie about the Weapons of Mass Destruction, yet he got elected by YOU again? Sounds like a double standard to me. Hm…oh, but that’s different, he’s a Repugnant! I won’t vote for four more years of McBush. The Repugnants have ruined this country! I just hope it’s not too far gone for Bro. Barack to lead us back to being the greatest nation in the world. You people will never admit that your party’s ideas don’t work. One more thing, about abortion. Repugnants had six years with a President, and a majority in Congress and the Sentate and did NOTHING about abortion. The Repugs have deluded themselves into thinking the Democrats are responsible for our economic problems. If this is true, then why in eight years didn’t Bush and his cronies do something about it? I’ll tell you why….because it’s not true and they are incompetent to straighten out their own mess! This economic issue lies squarely on the shoulders of the Republicans. Bush is the one who should be impeached! Obama/Biden 08!

People make fun of Palin because she was unaware of what the ‘Bush Doctrine’ was…Obama didn’t even know that Russia had veto power in the Security Council…yet you never heard that on the regular media. And, by the way, taxes were NOT designed for ‘wealth redistribution’…they were for supporting the government itself. You destroy incentive, you destroy the economy. May you get everything you ask for, America.

Jake GC – not a political hack – just one very informed voter. If Senator Obama was the Republican candidate, I would still have voted for him.
Our state was once a “toss-up” state – Senator Obama is now holding a 11% lead in the last state poll relased on Friday – a state with a huge Hispanic population – a voting block Republicans once thought they had in the bag. And, just for your information, our state has early voting – I voted last Tuesday. I had happy tears in my eyes as I dropped my ballot into the ballot box.

A message to all fellow REPUBLICANS: we do need a prayer and God to save us. I beg you, on the 4th, stay home and pray God, do not waste time going to vote. God can do much more for us if you pray hard than if you go out and vote. If we all spend Tuesday in a church and pray incessantly, God will give us victory. Trust me.
—————————
So with your logic, we should STOP GOING TO WORK and stay home and pray to God incessantly to solve our nation’s economic crisis?
Or if our children are in school, should they STOP STUDYING and just PRAY INCESSANTLY TO GOD and they will get “A’s”?
Or if my car breaks down, should I NOT take it to the mechanics, and instead go to church and PRAY TO GOD INCESSANTLY and he will fix my car for me?

If you read my previous post you would notice my use of the word “entire.” I know there is a left slant in the main stream media, but for the GOP to discredit anything written that is not a glowing review of McCain/Palin and their misguided viewpoints is just plain ignorant.
The GOP will lose mightily on Tuesday and it will have a long and hard come to jesus moment (pun intended you bible freaks) in determining how it will reconnect with the real America – the one that isn’t consumed by hate and fear.

Fact Whats wrong with mandatory firearm training requirements for all gun owners? I practice twice a week every week as a responsible gun owner I belive it is my responsibility to make sure I dont kill inosent people because I cant shoot straite.
Fact Barack Obama voted against a measure to lower the Firearms Owners Identification card age minimum from 21 to 18, a measure designed to assist young people in the military.11 I am in the military you dont know what you are talking about if you are in the military you wouldnt be affected because we all carry guns period moron.
FACT: Barack Obama supports gun owner licensing and gun registration.6
Thats a good idea I dont want just any criminal to be able to walk in and get a wepon.
FACT: Barack Obama supports mandatory micro-stamping.13
Thats a good idea too that way when they are stolen we can trace them better. unless you plan to by a wepon and sell it to a crimina you have nothing to worry about.
FACT: Barack Obama supports one-gun-a-month handgun purchase restrictions.16
Good Idea too who needs to buy more than one wepon per month unless you are trying to stock pile a lot of them to sell to criminals or terrorists.
As far as the rest goes can you tell me where you got this info from? Cause honestly I dont belive it at all. Firstly the supreme court already ruled on a lot of this stuff and when he is elected president Oamaba wont be able to override the supreme court anyways so what are you worryed about?

I am predicting a McCain victory, though close, with 284 electoral votes for McCain and 254 for Obama. John McCain will get 51% of the popular vote with Obama getting 48% and 1% going to other 3rd party candidates.
The House will easily continue to be Demcorat and in the Senate the Democrats will have a 57-41 advantage with Bernard Sanders and Joe Lieberman as independents.
Barack Obama will remain in the senate for 2 more terms and will be elected president in 2016 over Olympia Snowe after John McCain is easily re-elected in 2012 over Tim Kaine of Virginia.

Black people will no longer have any excuse for how their blackness is holding them back and keeping them down. I am one of those progressive 35+ urbane independant swing voters who is confidently casting my vote for McCain. Why? McCain is the devil I know. Obama is the wolf in sheeps clothing that will lead the US to slaughter. Hitler came to power in Germany under similar circumstances that Obama has risen. And that scares me to death. If Obama wins I will be able to sleep with myself when the bottom of this great country falls out. If yor really care about America and her future vote for McCain. Obama is a change that cannot be trusted, relied upon and definately not believed in.

I am a Republican and I have not voted for a Republican candidate since Reagan.My point is,I am a contiencious voter with no particular affiliation with one party or the other.I just vote with common sense.I can only hope the majority here does likewise.

Oh, just remembered….Colin Powell endorsed Obama. McCain is the scary one here and there are plenty of Republican senators and generals who have spoken of his poor temperament. Do you think W was a loose cannon? Well, McCain should give you real pause. If you cast your vote for him, you won’t likely admit it in a few years, or heaven forbid, a few months.

Posted by: beth | November 2, 2008, 2:43 pm 2:43 pm

I have decided not to vote for Obama. I will vote for John McCain for president on Tuesday. Three things made my decision.
» Values. Obama can joke that when life begins is above his pay grade, but this is not rocket science. If you destroy the egg of a bald eagle, you can be fined. Why? Because everyone knows that egg is a potential bald eagle. There is something fundamentally wrong with a society that protects bald eagles and yet allows unborn babies to be burned and sucked from their mother’s wombs. When Obama was an Illinois state legislator, he wouldn’t even vote to protect a baby that lived after abortion. That’s cold.
» Judgment. Obama has associated with the most radical people of our lifetime. Can you imagine the outcry if it were discovered that Sarah Palin attended a church with a racist pastor? There would be no end to the calls for her to stand down and return to Alaska in disgrace. Obama’s list of radical friends doesn’t end with Jeremiah Wright. He has chosen the most inflammatory people for his closest confidants so repeatedly that you have to call his judgment into question.
» You may vehemently disagree with President Bush about the war on terror and the strategy that he chose to pursue this conflict. But, he does recognize evil when he sees it. Obama doesn’t recognize evil, when he is in the same room with it, and for that reason, alone, I hope he doesn’t become our president Tuesday
Vision. Obama is a man of vision. It’s just the wrong vision for America. If he is not a socialist, then the word has lost its meaning. Jesus is our hope to change hearts. The change Obama seeks is not a change of heart. It is the authority of the state that arbitrarily takes from some to give to others. It creates a dependent people devoid of pride who believe only the government can help them. Ronald Reagan was right when he said, “A government that gives you everything you want can take everything you have.”
This is not the change we’ve been waiting for, nor the change that would be good for America. Yes, Jesus is my hope, but McCain has my vote.

You people are unable to accept that all the indicators point to Barack Obama as the next President of the United States. If you were looking at the numbers and information that ABC News, George Stephanopolus and that whole panel were, you would have similar predictions. It’s not one-sided, it’s just the truth, and YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!

Posted by: Hatim & Aisha | November 2, 2008, 2:45 pm 2:45 pm

I love how Obama Haters quote a book they clearly never read, particularly since one of the two quotes IS NOT IN THE BOOK.
The line about “ceasing to advertise his mother’s race” is in the INTRODUCTION to “Dreams of My Father”, but it needs to be taken in context. He is explaining how it could be difficult growing up a mixed-race child and how after a while he just stopped trying to explain it to people who only saw him as black.
The second quote the Haters offer:
“I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race”
This quote, and NOTHING EVEN REMOTELY SIMILAR TO THIS QUOTE, exists in any book by Barack Obama.
Instead, that second quote is written by a writer for the magazine THE AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE. Essentially, it is that writer’s REVIEW of Obama’s book. How on earth can you hold Barack Obama accountable for what SOMEONE ELSE wrote about him.
A simple search of SNOPES.com or a Google search could have yielded you the truth.
But then I guess you really didn’t care what the truth was. All you were interested in was spreading lies that served your purpose. Just like the robo-calls and emails saying Obama is a Muslim, or “pals with terrorists”, or that John Kerry WASN’T a war hero. Imagine how the Right Wingers would act if the left questioned McCain’s war record. You would flip out. (and I think it is pretty clear that Kerry had a more stellar war record than McCain.)
This country is finally sick of the lying, and thanks to the ease of finding REAL answers online and such I think the era of lying your way to the top is finally over.
Right wingers, enjoy your last two days of power. The future starts Wednesday.

Hey everyone, listen to these wise Republicans. Remember, their great wisdom in voting for George Bush twice.
I guess they are saying sorry that you lost your house, your savings and your job but listen to us again. We’ll get it right this time.
Undoubtably, your judgment when it comes to politics is poor. You are responsible for putting the President in office with the lowest approval of all time. This is why no one is going to listen to you now.
Obama will win in a landslide Tuesday night. The polls show it and voter turnout will set an all time record.
So all you religous kooks who bastardize the Bible and you racist rednecks and you Joe the phony plummer morons save your breath because the only people listening to you are other closed minded fools. You voted in Bush and your opinion is mud, that’s why Obama will be our next President. Maybe you should educate yourselves a little better next time and listen more than you talk because nobody is listening to you.

Hopefully Obama will win. I am voting for him but I will eat my “proverbial hat” if he wins since I have very little faith in the country’s “worst than a developing country’s election apparatus. I am a US citizen now but originally from India.I wanted to actually remind folks that the name “Barack Hussein Obama” is a solid insurance against a terrorist attack likely from Jiahdi elements. Osama will have a difficult time to recruit terrorist to attack a country which has a Preident who has a middle name of the second most revered figure in Islam and a last name that means in Farsi ” he is with us”! Long live President Obama!

For the guy who said “Long live George Bush. Make him President for life.” He was, for many of the dutiful solders he ordered into Iraq and didn’t make it back. What a terrible waste of life and what a waste of the last 7 years of our country. He is why McCain is falling short. Even McCain’s shortcomings which are painfully obvious aren’t as big a drag as the legacy of George Bush. May American never repeat that mistake again.

Did they see the new IDP poll? The same poll that was right on last election year? Obama now only 2pts ahead with almost 9% undecided. Well I tell people I undecided too! McCain will win by a landslide! Did you hear the new news? obama says he wants to bankrupt the coal industry LOL Do ya think Ohio and PA will vote for him now LOL This is great stuff. I want to see Donna Bs face on Tuesday night when they call McCain as the winner! I bet she says it was rigged and we are all racist. Want to make any bets?

McCain Vs Obama – The Election 2008 Written By: Rachael
I am proud of Senator McCain for holding to his promises about taking only public funds, for continuously believing in the good of America, for not flip-flopping on the issues, for being a hero who continues to serve his country, for being a man of integrity, good character, and for his good morals. I’m proud of him for not telling us what we might want to hear but for telling us the things that will be possible to change once a new president takes office as opposed to empty promises that only an inexperienced candidate will tell you – he will be able to 100% change anything – we all know that’s not true – it has to be approved through the House and Senate first – which means that we really need to focus on those elected seats because they have way more power than one might presume. And in closing, I believe that John McCain has the most experience to be President, especially during war time, with his military background and years of service. I also fully believe that our foreign diplomats and leaders will respond better to John McCain than Barack Obama based on this history of respect, experience, and established relationship that McCain has with them. As for Sarah Palin’s experience for VP, or President if she had to step in, she has ample experience to carry out the tasks – I might point out that she currently has more experience than former President Ronald Reagan had when he took office. He was an actor turned Governor – not a lawyer and he did not have other credentials beyond Governor. Sarah Palin has been a Mayor, a Governor, and also the Chief Commander of the Alaska Military Reservists – a multitude of experience – more than a former president that went on to become one of the greats!

I predict Obama wins with 340+ electoral votes. Afterwards wingnuts will blame the “liberal” media and then they’ll say that Mickey Mouse stole the election. After the election “real” americans will unite behind the president and help solve our problems. The rest will sit around thinking about new ways to call our president a socialist/terrorist.

Posted by: AppeaseThis | November 2, 2008, 3:04 pm 3:04 pm

The one thing that I am looking forward to at the end of this is the screams of horror from press, when Obama loses. Pravda was never more in the tank in the Soviet Union than the press here.
At least a half a dozen times in the past two days I have seen stories on CBS, ABC, CNN, and MSNBC showing huge poll numbers for Obama and declaring that this is all over. In your rush to pronounce this over and suppress the McCain vote, you consistently fail to mention the other polls that show a much tighter race. In fact, the IBD (you know the one that has been consistently more accurate than any of the in the tank media) has this at a 2% difference. That can and will be made up in two days, as Obama is a bad closer.
We will see you guys Wednesday morning with bleery eyes and your tear stained cheeks.
Obama is no savior. He is the beginning of a very dark economic time with his redistribution of wealth and the resulting end to job growth through small business. Big government is not the answer. For proof, go stand in line for an hour to get your driver”s license renewed.
McCain supporters get out there and vote and get all your friends to vote. The only way Obama wins is if we do not show up.

What’s going to be fun is being in Grant Park on Tuesday, as Obama makes history. McCain/Palin may be close, but there’s no way they can overcome the momentum of Obama. I doubt a landslide, but all the interest in this election is favoring Obama/Biden. There may be a few surprises here and there, but I believe any surprise McCain will be equaled by an Obama surprise as well. (meaning a state leaning Obama will go to McCain and vice versa).

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to conclude Obama has a strong chance in this election. McCain chose an idiot for a running mate and spent the entire time pointing fingers and avoiding any pertinant issues. And in the background the GOP (Goofy Old Pricks) was frantically hiding scandals and running for cover… His ‘party’ wasn’t there for him. Hey, how about this for a conspiracy nuts theory — Obama secretly PAID McCain to grab Palin and sabotage his own campaign? Like the dupe fighter, the live punching bag paid to act tough and take a fall in the 3rd round…

Posted by: Bills Cat | November 2, 2008, 3:19 pm 3:19 pm

Reading some of the comments posted here, I wonder how it is that some see Obama as a “radical,” because of his “communist” views. I’m a US citizen living in Munich, and most of the newspapers here peg *both* candidates as conservatives, with Obama perhaps slightly closer to the center. From an american perspective that may not seem accurate, but what it says to me is that if we are as a nation radical, then it is only to the extent that we are conservative.

It also shows that you don’t believe that McCains policies will convince others to vote for him. You are obsessed with the socalist/marxist label though McCain himself said to Larry King that of course Obama is no socialist. And you continue with the Ayers connection despite that an organisation like PolitiFact judged the accusation pants on fire. And you disregard that several republicans have had connections to Ayers.

Obama gives America plenty of reason, not excuses not to vote for him. Read his book:
From Dreams of My Father:’I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.’
‘I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.’

My prediction:
Obama 271
McCain 268
I think it will be razor-close. Mostly because of racism and people fearing Obama’s middle name and other irrational things. The abundance of abject hate in a lot of these comments saddens me greatly.
I think that McCain is going to pull a razor-thin upset in Pennsylvania on these grounds and actually hold onto Virginia and possibly New Hampshire, but Obama is going to pull off a big upset in NC, Colorado and Nevada, and possibly Florida, Ohio, and Missouri.
I am a Democratic-leaning (though only slightly) independent. I think Hillary would’ve been the best choice for President, and would love the maverick, centrist McCain of 2000 (and hate the “almost Bush” McCain of 2008).
Worried a little about Obama’s inexperience (but admire his intelligence and oratory ability), and undecided most of the year, but McCain’s “pandering” pick of Sarah Palin is what settled me for Obama. I fear that McCain won’t be able to complete a full term and she will be President, she makes Bush look like George McGovern by comparison and is 10x less intelligent.
What I most fear is 2000 repeating itself; Obama getting the popular vote but losing the electoral vote. This time around given the extreme hate on both sides and the racial (and economic) frustration and overtones I think if that happens you will have riots, and possibly even civil war and anarchy.

Phil Obama not being experienced was the first of many failed attempts by the McCain campaign to defeat him. Sarah Palin is not just inexperienced she is actually stupid. McCain on the other hand is morally bankrupt and is the ultimate political opportunist. There is hardly a pandering posture he has not assumed in this race.

Do these Republican people engage their brains before they open their mouths? Judging by the usual simplistic sloganizing we’re seeing here, socialist and all the usual nonsense (what was that 700 billion bailout but a form of state socialism), I wouldn’t say so. For the more rational amongst us the predicted top and bottom ranges offered by these five pundits probably circumscribe the field fairly accurately.

Infidel that has been sent out so many times it is scary how many people are still quoting it and trying to make it there own. Here for you reading pleasure is the entire mailing and the true passages from the book. I don’t care that you won’t vote for Mr. Obama I just get tired of all the lies.
Misleading quote: ‘I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites’ – claimed to be from “Dreams of My Father”
In the paragraph prior to this quote (Introduction: pp. xiv-xv), Obama talks of his mother’s 6 year old cousin who had “already lost” his innocence after reporting to his parents that some of his first grade “classmates had refused to play with him because of his dark skin”. As you read further you can see the implications of this on Obama’s life growing up and why he felt compelled to bring up his mother’s race until “the age of 12 or 13″:
Actual quote: “When people who don’t know me well, black or white, discover my background (and it is usually a discovery, for I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites) I see the the split-second adjustments they have to make, the searching of my eyes for some telltale sign.” (Introduction: Page xv)
Fake quote: ‘I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.’ – claimed to be from “Dreams of My Father”
I cannot locate this anywhere in “Dreams of My Father” after searching on each key word through an unabridged copy downloaded from ebooks.com. We can simply shoot this one quote down and rightfully attack the credibility of the entire post.
Fake quote: ‘There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.’ – claimed to be from “Dreams of My Father”
When Obama was still in New York (after graduating Columbia) and at the point of almost giving up on organizing, he gets a call from Marty Kaufman who had “started an organizing drive in Chicago and was looking to hire a trainee.” (Story begin on page 140). After talking about Chicago, the Cubs, his organizing efforts, Harold Washington, the South Side community, etc… he offers Obama the job with a small salary and travel expense. When Marty leaves, Obama walks home and thinks about this man and the offer (starting his community organizing days in Chicago):
Actual quote: “He was smart, I decided. He seemed committed to his work. Still, there was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white – he’d said himself that was a problem.” (Page 142).
Later, Obama sits down on a bench to consider his options. A “black woman and her young son approach” and the boy asks him why the East River goes one way and the other. Obama explains the tides. “The answer seemed to satisfy the boy…” “As I watched the two of them disappear into dusk, I realized I had never noticed which way the river ran. A week later, I loaded up my car and drove to Chicago.” (Page 143). Obama quickly recognizes that his back and forth on Marty, the situation, etc… is like the East River – it’s going to go back and forth no matter what – it’s time to act and he does.
Misleading quote: ‘It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names’ – from “Dreams of My Father” (Page 101)
Obama is IN COLLEGE not running through the riot-strewn city streets. He is posing, finding his identity.
How do we know? Prior to this quote he explains the early pressure of fitting in with the so-called campus “radicals” to “avoid being mistaken for a sellout.” (page 100). Starting on page 101 right after the quote, he goes through an incident where he is “called out” on this attitude. Thinking back, he realizes that “the whole year seemed like one big lie…” as he then matures beyond this perspective (Page 102).
I am sure none of us copped similar attitudes while in college or in our late teens/early twenties.
Fake quote: ‘I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa , that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.’ – claimed to be from “Dreams of My Father”
Actual quote: (in context, he is specifically addressing his earlier attitude towards his stepfather and grandfather): “…men I might love but never emulate, white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa , that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.” (Page 220).
In the very next paragraph Obama writes, “Now…that image had suddenly vanished.” ” To think all my life I had been wrestling with nothing more than a ghost!” as Obama comes to terms with the image versus the reality of his father.
Anyone out there not go through a similar process with their father?
Fake quote: ‘I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.’ – claimed to be from “The Audacity of Hope”
Actual quote: “Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” (page 261).
If someone requires further context on this last, actual quote, heaven help them.

Bought property from Resko but didn’t know he was shady. Didn’t know Dr. Khalid Abdullah was anti Semite. Didn’n know Auntie Zeituni is here illegally (living in Public Housing and contributing to his campaign illegally). Sent a Director from his campaign to a meeting with Islamic Terriost but didn’t know. Seems to me he doesn’t know some very important things….or did he and is not being honest!

I see some of you aren’t getting it. In Baracks book he was explaining phases he went through in his life. An account of the journey that brought him to where he is now. Every thought and belief he had while growing up is not what he thinks and believes now. IT’S AN ACCOUNT OF HIS JOURNEY, NOT A POLITICAL MANIFESTO! Grow up! Also, it apparently needs to be said, community organizer is ONE of the things he’s been. Not the ONLY thing on his resume.

Mr. McCain offered praise of President Bush on Sunday, reprising a line he has hardly used, if he has used it at all, since the Republican primary battles ended. It came as Mr. McCain praised Tom Ridge, the former Pennsylvania governor and Homeland Security secretary, who had introduced him.
“I think that Tom Ridge — and President Bush — deserve some credit for the fact there’s not been another attack on the United States of America since 9/11,’’ he said.And to add too for the economic punishment inflicted on the average Americas for not supporting another war with Iran and North Korea

Dear Red States:
If you manage to steal this election too we’ve decided we’re leaving. We intend to form our own country, and we’re taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren’t aware, that includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast. This year it will most likely include Florida! We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country of New California.
To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ole’ Miss. We get 85% of America’s venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states pay their fair share.
Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22% lower than the Christian Coalition’s, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms.
Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war, and we’re going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have kids they’re apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don’t care if you don’t show pictures of their children’s caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq , and hope that the WMDs turn up, but we’re not willing tospend our resources in Bush’s Quagmire.
With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80% of the country’s fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the fresh fruit, 95% of America’s quality wines, 90% of all cheese, 90% of the high tech industry, 95% of the corn and soybeans (thanks Iowa!), most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy & Seven Sister schools + Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT.
With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88% of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92% of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100% of the tornadoes, 90% of the hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia. We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.
Additionally, 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we’re discussing the war, the death penalty or gun laws, 44% say that evolution is only a theory, 53% believe that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61% of you crazy bastards believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties.
Finally, we’re taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed they grow in Mexico
Peace out, Blue States

Posted by: Bill | November 2, 2008, 4:45 pm 4:45 pm

I think that McCain/Palin will win. The liberal biased media has the wool pulled over voters eyes through the polls that have been conducted. I think McCain will win Ohio and Florida. I think that McCain has a big chance of winning Pennsylvania. Partly in reason from the comment from the Obama camp of the Pennsylvanians “clinging to their guns and religion.” I also believe McCain will win Ohio and Florida. The two states I’m concerned about are Virginia and Colorado. Those I feel will be the main states to decide in this election.

You can’t begrudge these ABC participants’ predictions for this election. Two or three of them are republicans who study and know all about this and the trends that are going Senator Obama’s way. I have supported Obama from the beginning and I based my support also on the reason that we could not go back to Clinton. Republicans were chomping at the bit for it to be Clinton so they could mow her down. Knowing that Barrack Obama is so intelligent and hardworking with a record of working well with others he is the one I voted for in the primary and on Friday I voted for him again. If he wins it will be such a relief and such an amazing accomplishment for the hope we need in America.

The predictions by ABC are based on what? McCain’s bonafide plan to put America’s energy to work for us by building 45 Nuclear Power Plants, building Clean Coal plants that will employ 10′s of thousands and produce an export product for the USA? Or maybe McCain’s plan to win in Iraq rather than squander the gains, weaken our military, and surrender? Or maybe that McCain is a veteran Naval Officer, an American hero, and will keep our military strong and not be dangerously tested as Joe Biden says Obama who has Zero service and Zero experience will be? Or maybe McCain will not impose a $3,000 tax increase by removing the Bush tax cuts the Dems say they hate? (Wait until they realize they will PAY that tax!!!) Yes, Obama has a energy plan but it involves all new yechnology that is currently worthless, takes 30 years + and will bring $7.00 a gallon gas to YOUR family immediately after he is elected. Yes, George at ABC Bias Company.. we got your drift.

I have my own reservations about Obama but anythings better than another four years of your ignorant uneducated, narrow minded losers ruining our country with the new “maverick” help of your hero the simpleminded but tricky and deceitful Caribou Barbie
I think your predictions are off. After reviewing an indepentent poll; the States you are giving to Obama, are tending to be closer to McCain. But then what else is new? I predict Obama 231 to McCains’276. And I do agree with FLVoter about Obama speachs on spreading the wealth, etc., with echos of Fidel Castor. I have studied history and all you have to do is go back to Castor’s speches to understand were the left liberals are coming from.

The anxiety and expectation on this election is not limited to the Americans alone, the entire world is looking up to America as role model for direction. who ever we elect must not only meet Americans expectation, he must also satisfy the yearnings from the rest of the world.

Posted by: Voice of reason | November 2, 2008, 5:17 pm 5:17 pm

Mark, just to show you how childishly silly your 12:48 PM post is:
1. Chavez is “buddying up” with the Russians – not Soviets (and there IS a difference).
2. You might want to read some of the sermons by abolitionist pastors prior to the Civil War (which the Confederacy lost, by the way).
3. You mean, things such as: getting individuals involved in community affairs? That’s right, it’s so much easier to screw the public when citizens don’t get involved.
4. Sure doesn’t seem to have taken, what with Sen. Obama’s voting record in Illinois and the Senate.
5.I don’t know, why don’t you ask McCain; he donated nearly a $1,000,000 to the Prof.’s center.
6.Example, please. Otherwise all you’re saying is that Sen. Obama has dark skin.
7. “Joe the Plumber” destroyed “Joe the Plumber” when he didn’t pay his taxes and didn’t have a plumber’s license – both items of public record.
8.Examples, please; unless you mean he won’t try to ban it completely. But, then I don’t really see you ever having to worry about having an abortion.
9. You mean a Supreme Court that rules in favor of the citizenry and not the corporations?
10. And the Republicans have done just the opposite?
11.Can I have some of whatever you’re drinking? It really should be tested!
12. Neither will the oil companies; it’s too expensive right now. Oh, and why aren’t those companies drilling on the leases they already have?
13.If any “potential democracy” exists in Iraq, it won’t be destroyed by the actions of the US. Possibly the Iraqis themselves, but not the US.
14. And that is relevant how?
15. Actually, no.
16. Yes. Another simple answer to a simple question.
Gee, this is fun!
17. Considering that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do not, repeat do not, issue mortgages you might want to check into the lack of regulation of the mortgage industry, the product of the (wait for it) Republican Party.
18. No, we know you’re a nut.
19. Examples please. Unless you could be referring to Sen. Obama’s references to the various problems that beset the average citizen: health care, declining jobs, falling wages, the increasing disparity between the super-rich and everyone else in this country?
20. Only if you’re a wolverine and eat your ill relatives.
21. Again, examples please. And don’t say “we”, because it certainly doesn’t include me.
22. Can I buy a vowel? Or at least a direct object in the sentence?
23. Cite the speech. And no Fox News paraphrasing!
You may certainly believe the polls you wish to, but you’re setting yourself up for a shock on Tuesday, 4 November 2008. And as a final note: “Joe the Plumber” could have had his license already if he’d been willing to study for it. Maybe he just wanted to have it handed to him…
Almost forgot my predictions:
Electoral vote: Obama 340+
Senate: 6-8 Democratic Senators
House: 25+ Democratic members

Yes, voting for Obama, a black in America is a giant leap. Look at the alternative. Look at the divisive, rude and negative campaign McCain has delivered with his Rove surrogates.

I just feel good knowing I had nothing to do with the consequences we have to deal with.. if Obama wins. I am ashamed of the media that ran McCain and Palin down in the dirt and didn’t give them a fair chance. Fox News was the only one that went both ways (even though they were accused of being more for McCain, Palin). I will watch Fox News from now on as my news station. You guys really showed your preference. If you voted for Obama don’t worry yourself so much if he wins and your life as you knew it (freedom of speech, religion)change. Even if you have to wait 6 months to get a Dr. appt. Look at the good side of it. You helped make a CHANGE for our country. At least we can help our fellow countrymen (that are not able to get up out of bed after a hangover or late night parting) be as rich as you are. You know spreading the wealth. You might even be partly responsible for the little children that are just before being borned to be aborted. Don’t worry about what God is saying as he watches. He’ll tell us on our Judgement Day. Nov. 4th is almost here. Can not be soon enough for me. I am tired of all the media junk….PS I am a registered Democrate for your info but, too many in one place at the same time make a BIG mess.

I keep hearing about the value of a two party system, and the fears of Pelosi, Reid controlling congress with Obama in the White House.
How come I never heard these fears from the FOX News pundits while the GOP damaged our country for generations to come while they controlled the Legis and Exec for the better part of the past eight years.
I hope all the GOP, good and bad alike, are sent packing on Tuesday.

I guess character does not matter to you. You condone all the dem’s PR and surrogates to constantly speak over other people, trying to smother non consent voices. You do not care for the news that Biden’s son and brother have to deal with two law suits worth well over $1 mil because they allegedly (in fairness that you are totally missing)defrauded that amount dealing as lobbyists on a hedge fund deal. You do not care, that Biden asked his son a brother to give up their jobs and company so he can patriotically and selflessly run for president w/out potentially being accused of having ties w/lobbyists. You do not care that what Judge Judy tells about the teenagers (When their mouth moves they are lying) applies to Messiah as well. A little paraphrase: What I said is that nobody making less than $250,000 will pay more taxes. That was on Monday. On Tuesday I said: I will cut taxes for 95% of people, 95%! On Wednesday I have threaten all people making less than $250,000 with a $1,000 check back, although on Thursday I said that the ones with no tax liability will get nothing. But than again, it occurred to me on Friday, that those 44% that pay no taxes at all are the ones perhaps turning against me and might be peed of at me, so I quickly promised them the check back. On Saturday I sent Joe my friend Biden out to make sure the message is convoluted some more and finally on Sun day I went to see reverend Wright and seek absolution.
Since you are such a staunch Obama’s defenders I am sure you will not mind to answer a few questions:
*Every single legal immigrant that came to US in the last 30-35 years is painfully aware of illegal immigrants from the same country he/she came from. Each one of us knows a number of them and the word about them gets around much faster one would imagine. How it is that Obama knew nothing, given his in not so distant past contact with Auntie?
*99% of us, legal emigrants, when we had a visitor, be it family member or friend, made darn sure that the visitor boarded the plane to return back home. Are we to believe that Auntie came for inaugural and than went on her own to throttle the country?
*How easy/difficult is it to get a unit in public housing? In Boston? What kind of documents is needed to request one? Did auntie produce them?
*What kind of screwed-up spineless character in Obama’s campaign came out with the idea of credit card security check avoidance with the obvious approval from Obama in order to accept illegal contributions?
*What kind of “Look out for country and Americans” can we expect from Obama’s administration – since he demonstrated over and over again zero, nil, nada interest in his own family?
*And finally, how are you going to like me telling you about socialized medicine I knew. No appointment necessary – nobody would give you one anyway – sit and wait to see the doctor for hours at the time. No choice of doctor. The doctor was assigned to the citizens by the area of permanent residence. If you were lucky, you’ve got a good one. With less luck you’ve got a mediocre one. With no luck you’ve got one that you would rather avoid, but you couldn’t. No choice. Since everybody was paid by the government the good doctors got the exactly same salary as the bad ones. Since nobody was paid enough to live on, and the attention to ones needs was difficult to come by, you bribed to get the attention you wanted and needed. And afterward you gave what was called gratuity. In the meantime you networked very well. Who knows who, who owes whom, who is who’s uncle. I do not like his plan, I am not enchanted with McCain’s one either. However, to enable people to get insurance as opposed to mandate insurance sounds better to me. I would like to see a law that would let small businesses get into an insurance pool – that would considerably lower the premium rates. At one point there was a discussion to that effect, but the proposal was killed before it really was able to take hold. I also would like to see a solid revision of the medicaid/medicare contracted rates for different services and supplies. There should be a cap to the size of judgments for malpractice. On the other hand that might be a mute point, as with socialized medicine there will not be any more malpractice lawsuits. Therefore the profession of ambulance chasing layers will become obsolete. We will no longer be forced to watch their day-in and day-out advertisements on the TV offering all kind of class action law suits that are of little benefit to the sick ones.
Should anyone be able to come up with coherent responses to my question I will be happy to entertain that point of view.
For right now I agree that we have a better chance for change with Obama in office; I disagree that it is going to be positive.

It appears that Obama was constantly under a pressure of an inner collision between as he put it “his black and his white worlds”. To the extent that an absolutely innocent remarks or events where putting him on the edge. He describes a characteristic episode when by Ray’s insistence he invited to an all black party his white basketball friends. He writes: “the presence of Jeff and Scott seemed to make no waves. ‘But I could see right away that the scene had taken my white friends by surprise. They kept smiling a lot. They huddled together in a corner; they said ‘Excuse me’ every few minutes. After maybe an hour, they asked me if I’d be willing to take them home. In the car, Jeff put an arm on my shoulder, looking at once contrite and relieved. ‘You know, man’ he said, ‘that really taught me something. I mean, I can see how it must be tough for you or Ray sometimes, at school parties being the only back guys and all.” (84)
If Barack Obama was an ordinary person and not one with self-created abnormal psychic constantly concerned with his identity this episode would not have stuck in his memory, but it did. This is how he reacted to Jeff’s seemingly innocent words: “I snorted. ‘Yeah. Right.’ A part of me wanted to punch him right there” (84).
Moreover Jeff’s and Scott’s, as he saw it, uneasy behavior brought in him an ocean of hatred and desperation. “By the time I had dropped my friends off, I had begun to see a new map of the world, one that was frightening in its simplicity, suffocating in its implications. We were always playing on white man’s court, Ray had told me, by the white man’s rules. If the principal, or the coach, or a teacher wanted to spit in our face, he could because he had power and you didn’t. If he decided not to, if he treated you like a man or came to your defense, it was because he knew that the words you spoke, the clothes you wore, the books you read, your ambitions and desires, were already his. Whatever he decided to do, it was his decision to make, not yours, and because of that fundamental power he held over you, because it preceded and would outlast his individual motives and inclinations, any distinction between good and bad whites held negligible meaning. In fact you couldn’t even be sure that everything you had assumed to be an expression of your black, unfettered self had been freely chosen by you. At best these things were a refuge; at worst, a trap. Following this maddening logic, the only thing that you could choose as your own was withdrawal into a smaller and smaller coil of rage, until being black meant only the knowledge of your own powerlessness, of your own defeat. (85).

It’s hard to believe that Obama is pulling the wool over so many eyes.
I suppose it is true “you can fool some of the people some of the time” If Obama wins, which I hope not, this country is down the tubes, and the people who voted for him will be wondering what happen. This man cares about no one. His views are so liberal our country will belong to Islam with him as, Sorry, I can’t bring myself to say it. I pray to God people wake up before it is to late and he sells us out to the racist and terrorist that he associates with.
There’s an old saying. “If you run with bank robbers, means you must be one”.
He’s ran with people that hates our country and values. Wake up people, is this what you want? Vote for Obama and your giving away our childrens future, not to mention what will be left of ours.

barack couldn give a rats behind about teh middle class. if u do yer research, u will find in his autobiographies, he is all about promotin the black people. if u r black, Godspeed, if you are white, prepare to pay literally for the crimes from hundreds of years ago. no one is treated equally here. the workin class will pay for those who DONT work and lack motication. nice. welcome 2 the united socialist states of america.

Many whites here have expressed apprehension about the allegedly racist views held by Obama.
Let’s assume, arguendo, he does hold those views and would use his power as president to advance those views in policies that would negatively impact whites.
So freaking what?!?
For DECADES, conservatives have insisted that racism is little more than a speed bump at worst for blacks and Hispanics and other minorities to overcome living in this country. More often, conservatives have tended to completely dismiss claims of discrimination as some sort of bizarre figment of a collective imagination. Even worse, they paint themselves as VICTIMS of brown skinned largesse.
Now there is wailing and gnashing of teeth over what Obama’s supposedly racist views would mean for whites. If the bloviating blowhards from the Rush Limbaugh school of thought had but a fraction of the strength of character and work ethic they accuse minorities of lacking, they would follow the “advice” they so freely and emphatically give: DEAL WITH IT AND STOP WHINING!!!!

I think there is a direct relationship between the winner in the polls in a particular state and the number of folks who have pitched in their contribution for their choice of president.
Obama is doing better in polls where Obama has more regular contributors. McCain is doing better where McCain has more regular contributors.
Based on the number of regular contributors in the states for each candidate, Obama should win the election.
McCain was not able to get higher number of contributions from regular folks in the states where Obama is doing better in polls.
And the states where Obama is doing better add up to more more than 270.
I think this is a clear indicator, who may win.

Response to republican_paulie:
I’m so sick of hearing the Miami Cubans talk about the US being just like Cuba. The United States has free elections. My husband is Cuban and a BIG OBAMA SUPPORTER! A lot of the Cuban people in Miami do not learn to speak English and believe all the propaganda that they hear on the biased Cuban radio stations. I lived in Miami for 25 years and some of the Latino people I know would even vote for Bush again. Bush is more like Castro than any president we have had. Where are our rights that we had when he stole the election? Where is the regulation of the banks? Where are the jobs?
If you don’t like it in the US, go back to Cuba instead of complaining about the US. You have the right to voice your opinion, but don’t blame everything on Castro. Obama will win and he will be one of the greatest presidents ever!

First, the PREDICTIONS on this morning’s show come people who support Republicans and/or Democrats. No one was saying what IS going to happen or telling voters how to VOTE.
If you average out PREDICTIONS that have been reported and/or posted by us the voters it comes out 340 for Obama and 198 for McCain.
The polls ALWAYS tighten just before an election and they are just polls, folks.
There are many variables to be accounted for other than polls — such as voter registration movement, population movement, ease and efficiency of voting (which ALL of us need to get Congress to address), enthusiasm for a candidate, etc.
The final decision is yours and mine.
You want your candidate to WIN.
VOTE, get your friends to VOTE — DO all you can to facilitate others voting.

Number of contributors for each candidate in the states Obama is doing better and the fact EV’s for Obama in the polls add up to 270, may determine the final winner.
Also, the fact Obama has received several hundred million dollars of real contribution from millions of regular folks in different states diminish the probability of Bradley Effect.

Hate to burst your bubble but you are wrong. Obama is polling at less than 50% on average. The TIPP poll, which came closer to any of the others in 2004, shows the undecideds more than doubling Obama’s point spread. Because these people are overwhelmingly older white and are not sure on Obama, they will break heavily towards the more experiened McCain. Two more things: Rasmussen Reports has tracked Obama’s lead in Pennsylvania going from 13 points a month ago to 7 points the other day and down to just 4 points yesterday. When the margin of error is factored in, PA right now is a tie and can go either way. If McCain wins that state, he doesn’t need NV and CO. In regards to the youth vote, Gallup has point blankly said there is NOTHING to indicate a higher than usual youth voter turnout this time as compared to 2004. MR. WILL- You are such a disappointment! Don’t you know that Palin was tapped to be Vice-President and not Secretary of State? She was chosen because she is a Washington outsider and is a commited reformer of government. She is not just a talker but is a doer. Look at her record and compare it to Obama’s (oops forgot, he doesn’t have one). Alaska has a five billion dollar surplus and Palin has an 80% approval rating as governor. Why don’t the left wingnuts at ABC News report that???

November 2, 1948, all the news media predicted Dewy winning (by a landslide) the presidentency (Truman won). They even printed it and had the newspapers distributed the next morining!!! 60 years later and they still don’t get it. I guess you guys will never learn.

Cant: McCain gave more money to those Palestinian charities than Obama ever had to give to anyone. I think it was between $400-600K. As for Wright, the American people have already heard that. The McCain people are actively suppressing mentions of Wright because it seems to actively drive African-Americans to the polls. You have to be extra-careful when you criticize a clergyman, it seems.

VOTE!!

Posted by: dassis | November 2, 2008, 7:07 pm 7:07 pm

Your predictions are probably right, unfortunately. Senator McCain’s standing with the electorate can not help but be affected by the economic crisis and unpopularity of President Bush. What’s ironic to me though is that the Democrats believe that gaining more numbers will help their cause when they have done NOTHING since they gained majorities in both houses.
As for those who claim that people who are opposed to Senator Obama are uneducated, I have a Ph.D. in Microbiology and find little evidence to that he will help solve our country’s problems in education or anything else. If you wanted to elect a minority candidate, there are many potential African American and other minority candidate in both parties who have better c.v.’s AND don’t carry the Avery, Wright, etc. baggage!
Quite honestly I am really worried about the future of our country if your predictions are right.

Bonzai – I am sure that you would like to believe that the election is over, but it is not. There are a lot of other factors in this race. For example, the fact that you are assuming early voting favors Obama. Why? Because of exit polls? Do you actually think those are reliable? If you are not on the Obama band wagon, you have to be an apologist these days. So, there are a lot of people who simply do not answer the exit poll question, and some who will say Obama to avoid the harrassment. The same dynamic will happen on Tuesday. So, when you hear all those exit polls saying, “Obama in a landslide,” don’t be surprised if that landslide evaporates as the evening moves along.
I know that all the McCain voters are just supposed to pack it in because this is “over,” but I would be careful not to crow to fast.

A continuation of the Republican policies promoted by John McCain and previously George W. Bush, George H. W. Bush, Ronald Reagan and, to a point, Bill Clinton, have made our economy a hollow shell of itself. We sell our government to China and the Middle East to keep soldiers in Afghanistan, Iraq and many other hot spots around the world. Our government is in debt, our country is in debt and instead of focusing on those two facts, the two candidates have decided to propose tax cuts. We have had too many tax cuts and should work hard to decrease our deficit spending and increase our domestic investments. We should be the countries around the world turn to not only for military power, but also for financial resources. We’ve become way too dependent on Asian countries to keep us afloat. McCain will make it worse, while Obama will make it bad, but nowhere near as bad as McCain. By default, Obama is better for this country. We have gone too long without taking care of this problem. Investing in our infrastructure, like those proposed by Obama, will do a heck of a lot more for this country than any tax cut.

You missed a couple though, like the $200 million in small campaign donations that the Obama campaign chose not to track. To say nothing of the fact that he wants to remove the secret ballot for employees when it comes to trade unions, as payback for their endorsement. Obama is a new kind of politician alright. The kind that comes out of Chicago machine politics pure as the driven snow and tells you that he is change you can trust. Yea right, and the tooth fairy will be visiting everyone tonight with something special.

“Why is it racist if some whites don’t vote for Obama, but it’s not racist when 91% of blacks do?”
1. There is a LONG and detailed history of blacks voting for whites in national and local elections. Democrats in the previous two presidential elections got approximately 90% of the African-American vote. Ever stop to think that maybe it’s the POLICIES of the parties?
2. There are also other blacks that are on the ballot for President including Cynthia McKinney and Alan Keyes. If race were the dominant factor in determining with whom African Americans cast votes-absent any other consideration, wouldn’t McKinney and Keys split the black vote, considering they are just as black as Obama?
3. What percentage of the total political candidates you have voted for have been black? If that number is somehow less than say…10-20%, why would you raise this issue at all? That’s right. Republicans love being hypocritical.

Posted by: Lawrence | November 2, 2008, 7:22 pm 7:22 pm

nodem2008: “Sarah Palin should release her medical records when he does.”
Or she could just release a one page summary and recent test results and have her doctor certify (upon loss of his license and profession) they are true. That’s what Obama has done. Why can’t she do as much as Obama, as you suggest?
“He’s going to take care of the whole country but his father’s half-sister is living in a slum housing project”
You’re behind a couple days on your talking points. Now he’s to blame for knowing exactly where she was and not reporting her immigration status – it was last week Republicans were blaming him for NOT knowing where she was. Try to keep up or it’s tough to follow the slander.

For those of you (Christians) “praying” for a McCain victory. Remember this
- Jesus continually speaks against armed aggression or threats of such (ie Iran)
- Jesus chose to speak to his enemies rather than to ignore them. He believed in the spirit within all of us. Not us vs. them.
- Jesus sought to bring those at the margins of society into mainstream acceptance, (in his day it was lepers and hookers, today it would be non-whites and homosexuals among others).
- Jesus also continually said this, “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to get into heaven.” McCain is Uber-rich, so is Bush, how holy are they?
And if you ask me, Jesus was pretty much the biggest peace-loving hippy to ever walk this earth. If he were around today his enemies would probably call him a socialist.
Just because you are Christian doesnt mean you have to vote for the GOP. They do a pretty poor job of holding up the bibles teachings, IMO.

I have to say that I went to the McCain rally in Columbus on Halloween. Arnold himself was there to back the political maverick. I honestly have to throw out that I have been undecided voter until Halloween listening to Arnold talk to the crowd. He brought up many good points, and the icing on the cake was when McCain talked to us. He seems no matter how old he is, he is ready to lead this country on the right track. He tells us HOW he is going to do it. Obama keeps complaining about the past, but doesnt tell us really how he is going to fix all these problems. I am an independent voter, and I am voting MCCAIN on Tuesday.
One thing that bugs me is that people are willing to vote democrat just because they are fed up with Bush, we need to look at facts on each side. Obama I feel would have a much better run and more experience if he runs in four years.

The definition of insanity is to repeat the same behavior or actions, all the while expecting a different outcome. This country has repeated the same behavior in elections for the past two elections, while expecting things to change, they haven’t, except for the worse, which is the logical result when you don’t change what does not work. This country has spoken, and said that we no longer want to be insane, we want to change, and no matter how those of us that don’t want to admit it try to slant polls, associations, books, rumors and everything else that you can think of, the handwriting is on the wall, and there is no fairy tale Moose to kill to make it better, or no Vietnam POW camp to go be a prisoner all over again that will change it. In two days, it will be final, and the crying, whining, blaming and cursing will increase. I guess the right wingers speak of doom and gloom so much, because that’s what they have always envisioned, if the country was ever smart enough to expose their false ideas and policies. The day of reckoning is at hand, assume the crash position, and kiss your butts goodbye!

COLUMBUS OH: “Obama keeps complaining about the past, but doesnt tell us really how he is going to fix all these problems.”
Um, he has hundreds of pages of white papers detailing his proposed policies on his website and has for over a year. His offering of details is why he gets attacked – he has said how he’ll pay for this (increasing the upper tax bracket back to 90′s level). He is truthful discussing what carbon caps means (John McCain supports the same system but isn’t willing to talk about what it really means).
If you prefer McCain’s expressed policies (a continuation of Bush’s, but hopefully more competently instituted) fine. But it is lazy and dishonest to say Obama has not presented a great deal of detail on his policies.

2. McKinney is a nut bag. So, exactly how many people are going to vote for her?
3. The black population in this country has marginalized themselves for decades by being in the bag for the democrats. 5% of the population.
4. There is way too much talk of race in all of this. There are racists on both sides of this, which is truly tragic. If people are really interested in equality, perhaps we should stop being all excited about electing the “first black president,” and vote based upon what the candidates have to offer to the entire country, not just one group.

Post Halloween Fantasy Story
“TRICK or TREAT”: Many polls indicate that the great “masked” one appearing as Robin Hood, The Chosen Elite One, will win at the Presidential Halloween Party on Tuesday. Yes, “that one” named Barrack Hussein Obama is the front runner for the Best Overall TRICK. Seemingly, he is fooling the most Americans with his middle of the road image, promised tax cuts, and reaches across the aisle (of course, none of this is true). If he wins, the Treat will be that all Americans will get to pay much more Taxes (income, inheritance, payroll, capital gains, etc.) for the Re-distribution Machine of Sherwood Forest. Sadly, both the TRICK and the TREAT are on all of Us ! Remember economic reality. Voters decide the Future, NOT the ghoulish trolls of the biased Media ! Vote

Republicans should stop voting for Republicans unless they are rich. Somehow the Republican elite have managed to fool the middle class into believing money will somehow trickle down to them. It won’t. It hasn’t. Not here. Not anywhere. It’s time we stop being idealists and start facing reality. We need to stop defending the economic philosophy of those who are trying to cheat us.
Tax cuts for the middle class is a good thing. Affordable health care is a good thing. If you are middle class and somehow believe that tax cuts and health care for the middle class is socialism or evil in some way, then you have had the wool pulled over your eyes.

I am just writing to comment about something on CNNs channel this evening. I think the women will be interested to know that although Hillary is not even in this race any longer that CNN mocked and insulted her showing parts of her primary season, etc. So, I ask the women out there, can you really vote for a man like Obama who sexually bashed HIllary Clinton every time he had the opportunity? And, are the women going to remember to be enraged at the press and at Obama? The show aired at 7:30 my time, called Headline News, and I live in NE PA. They provided me with such assistance tonight as I canvas every possible woman voter I can to vote for John McCain!

What’s the verdict on whether Palin helped or hindered McCain?
Most GOPer’s have said that if McCain had picked Tom Ridge or Mitt Romney he would have had PA in the win column.
Most conservatives ( who Palin was to have ‘courted’ ) have run from her, and suggested that it was not too late to dump her.
Was this McCain’s executive choice?
or was it forced upon him?
My own feeling is that she’s an embarrassment.

2. Since the bottom half of the population pays only 2.5% of the taxes and the top ten percent of wage earners pay over 70% of taxes, how much more do you want 10% of the population to pay?
3. Yes, when you are talking about taxing the top earners even more, increasing social security taxed, increasing capital gains taxes, reinstituting the death tax, increasing government programs by $1 trillion dollars, giving tax “rebates” to the 40% of people who do not pay any taxes, and on and on, yes this is socialism.

Phil…
- Let’s see. How many ways was that a bad argument.
“1. Blacks make up 13.4% of the population. So, in a country with all of this racism, how could 20% of the candidates be black?”
1. You are always free to write in a candidate in any given election. Certainly that’s an opportunity to vote for an African American you admite.
2. An individual voter doesn’t vote in each and every election around the country. He/she votes in national elections and in local/state elections. As such, the percentages of minorities may be higer in some areas than in others. So depending on where you live, you may have a greater opportunity to vote for a non white. But irrespective of percentages, certainly someone with enlightened racial views like yourself will dispense with your filibuster and enthusiastically and honestly name all of the black candidates YOU have supported.
“2. McKinney is a nut bag. So, exactly how many people are going to vote for her?”
But wait. If race alone is the sole determinant regarding how blacks vote, what does her sanity have to do with anything? According to you, race drives the choice for blacks. I find your omission of Keyes most interesting.
“3. The black population in this country has marginalized themselves for decades by being in the bag for the democrats. 5% of the population.”
So being in the bag for democrats means white Dems, too…right?
“4. There is way too much talk of race in all of this. There are racists on both sides of this, which is truly tragic. If people are really interested in equality, perhaps we should stop being all excited about electing the “first black president,” and vote based upon what the candidates have to offer to the entire country, not just one group.”
That last statement may well be true. However, your dismissal of “the black vote” as based purely on race only exacerbates the problem.

That is the most disgusting thing I have seen yet. This is beyond racism, for your information most African Americans and other minorities work. We are not looking for handouts we are not looking for anyone to take care of uus. We can take care of ourselves. We are no different from you. We want to take care of our families and send our kids to college and provide for their health just like you do. The problem over the last 400 years is we have had to overcome many obstacles set before us by small minded bigots like yourself. You people really need to take a look at yourselves. You continue to say minorities are the drain on this country when in fact it is the nonpminorities who make up a large portion of the welfare rolls. Maybe the country wouldn’t be in such bad shape if all the whites got off of their behinds and got jobs.

Once again you are making huge logical leaps. Not once did I say you were white. However, assuming you to be nonwhite and holding your views, it still does not mean you are not qualified to answer the question I posed earler. I’ll repeat it, in the hopes you will end your filibuster.
If racism is something that can be easily overcome by minorities, why should whites be afraid of an Obama presidency?

Phil: “When was the last time you were employed by a poor guy?”
I’m employeed by a poor guy, have been since the company was 2 people (it’s now three dozen). Every cent he can spare goes into the business and many months he used a second mortgage to make payroll. Now that we’ve grown and really matured over the past 10 years, he is finally pulling a “salary” equal to what he pays me. He’ll be getting a nice tax cut under Obama’s plan and would likely use the savings to update a few aging pieces of our tool library (built in the US power meters and ultrasonic flow meters).
It is a very very rare small business that has an owner extracting a quarter million dollars a year in take home pay unless it’s a whore house or drug runners.

I guess you can try to spin what I wrote, but it would be good if you were a bit more accurate.
1. My point that it would be impossible to cast 20% of your votes for black candidates who are less by population and as a percentage of candidates is valid. I cannot quite figure out what your rambling commentary was trying to say.
2. I never indicated that all blacks vote purely based upon race. I indicated that your arguments are poor at best.
3. My point that the black population has marginalized themselves is true. When the dems can count on 90% of the black vote all the time, the dems do not have to really work to get that vote and they are marinalized. Likewise the Republicans do little to get their vote because it is a foredrawn conclusion, so again they have marginalized themselves.
4. Of course my comment is true, and your attempt to paint anyone who simply thinks your arguments are weak as a racist is truly pathetic.

Rather than taking the Bible out of context, please read it as a whole. Your religious conjectures are based on your political opinion.

I just spent a fair amount of time reading some of the many posts, and am dismayed by the irrational rantings of so many.
A couple of important points, if you will: 1) George Will is so ultra-Right Wing he makes Ronald Reagan look like Hubert Humphrey; 2) the “predictions” are just that, nothing more; 3) it is imperative all those eligible to vote do so (except for those who’ve already voted).
Should there be a landslide victory for Senator Obama and the Democratic Party, one must hold the Bush-Cheney Regime and the millions who wanted them in the White House as the responsible ones. Many people in this country, even the most conservative, were finally willing to open their eyes, ears, brains and hearts to reality.
In my entire independent life, I was never what one would consider a political activist. The Bush-Cheney Regime changed that. While still a committed independent, I have been active throughout this campaign.
Less emotion and more thought, please. We’ll all be better off!

The polls, the statistics, the early voting… ALL point to an Obama win.
When pundits base a judgement on these facts – the right-wing goes psycho, claiming anyone that isn’t Fox News is “liberal”, “severely slanted”, “bad journalism”, etc.
If you’re making a prediction based on figures so far, Obama wins.
If you make predictions claiming anything else, sorry, but you’re sadly deluded, probably as a result of allowing yourself to be the victim of the GOP’s barrage of propaganda.
Giving breaks to the hard-working, employed, middle-class (the MAJORITY of America) does not equate to welfare. It equates to less taxation.
Unless you’re extremely wealthy, you’d be an absolute moron to complain.
Moving a tax-cut from the ultra-rich to the middle-class is not socialism and is certainly not going to make anyone poor.
I don’t know how Obama and Biden can say we should reach out and be inclusive when those we should apparently include are the nuttiest, most childish, vile, extremist lunatics who have as ‘knowledge’ nothing but outright lies and extreme distortions.
I’ll give them a chance, but I really fear that they are too riled up with hatred and have been spoon-fed so many lies… that they’d bite at anyone seeking unity and cooperation among the people of America.

jock – Wealth does come from labor, but try a making a living from your labor without a job. Back to my point, who was the poor guy who employed you? Until you have someone to put their capital at risk, and organize that labor into something that will create economic value, all you have is an unemployed laborer.

1. My point that it would be impossible to cast 20% of your votes for black candidates who are less by population and as a percentage of candidates is valid. I cannot quite figure out what your rambling commentary was trying to say.”
The initial challenge on this point was “10-20%.” Since you completely ducked it, I removed the percentage and asked you to name the black candidates you have supported. Your filibuster continues.
“2. I never indicated that all blacks vote purely based upon race. I indicated that your arguments are poor at best.”
You endorsed the view indcating it is racist when 90% of blacks vote for Obama.
“3. My point that the black population has marginalized themselves is true.

Likewise the Republicans do little to get their vote because it is a foredrawn conclusion, so again they have marginalized themselves.”
If we have marginalized ourselves (a dubious proposition), why the complaints about them voting 91% for Obama? I would suggest a political ethos that has historically worked to disenfranchise African Americans (How did blacks marginalize themselves before the right to vote was enforced through the Civil Rights movements and accompanying legislation?) did more to drive blacks away from the Republican party than any desire to “self marginalize.”
“4. Of course my comment is true, and your attempt to paint anyone who simply thinks your arguments are weak as a racist is truly pathetic. ”
Jeez. Again with the logical leaps. When did I ever say that…either expressly or tacitly?!?

Large (Socialist like) Corporations have been the major source of wealth for this nation for many years. Most small businesses pay low wages and dump their employees when they retire or have medical problems. Most Americans have been working under a “socialist” like economic system for 100 years and have done quite well. What would be the difference at General Motors if it were run by a government GS or a politician picked by “the board”?
The loss of jobs due to big corporations moving to Mexico and China is the reason for the working class moving to the left..no great mystery why Obama is so popular. As Vince the Shamwow salesman says “I don’t know..it sells itself”

To suggest that McCain will win because it is God’s will is either an advanced degree of clinical narcisism or a deranged religiosity that is, in the end, the functional equivalent of radical Islam. I truly believe that one of the unfortunate byproducts of an Obama win is that the hardcore right-wing, gun-toting zealots will identify themselves through miscalculated acts of violence. The good news is that they will be caught, prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned. They will be unable to procreate and the dark stain of their bigotry will diminish in the human race. I have been a registered Republican for thirty years, voted for Reagan in 1980 and for many Republicans since. I am dismayed at what has happened to the GOP. In my view, the only sensible choice in this election is Obama. Peace be unto all of you. Amen.

Joe-
It’s too bad you don’t know what you’re talking about. Please tell me how corporations are socialist? Do you have an inkling of what socialism is? The closest thing we have to socialism in this country are labor unions, which have consistently supported Democrat candidates. You must understand though, that often the individual members of the union may support a Republican, but their endorsement is over-ruled by the leadership of the union. Socialism is basically surrendering your rights for the “good” of the whole. Unfortunately, the leaders of the organization or nation get to define what is “good”.
BTW, you can thank Clinton for shifting jobs to other countries with NAFTA IN THE 1990′S.

I saw McCain on TV yesterday giving a speech. What a f%ck!ng idiot. If you care the least little bit about science, medicine, education or the environment, don’t vote for this b@st@rd.
He brought up his line again about a “3 million dollar ‘overhead’ projector for a planetarium in Chicago”. He is talking about the Adler. McNugget probably has never been to a planetarium despite the fact that he is from AZ, one of the major centers of astronomical research. He obviously doesn’t have the slightest idea of what a planetarium projector is or what it does. The Adler is a top notch scientific and educational institution that gets hundreds of thousands of visitors a year. 3 million dollars for a planetarium projector is nowhere near out of line. The new Hayden in NY spent more than that back in 1999 for their new Zeiss Mark IX.
He claims to be pro environment and claims to want to work to fight global warming, but his policies do just the opposite. “Drill Baby Drill” will do nothing to solve our long term energy issues. If you think it will help with prices, OPEC will just cut production to drive up global prices, just like they have started to do right now. If you are getting low on gas, fill it up by Tuesday, because you know that prices are going to start going back up come Wednesday regardless of who gets elected.
On top of this, he picked that Pentecostal devil worshiper for his running mate. She has one of the worst environmental records of any politician in the US. She is opposed to stem cell research and she wants to destroy what little is left of science education in this country. Pain and McSenile will do everything they can to make our country into a third world banana republic.

What’s wrong with “Socialism”. In Milwaukee we’ve had 3 socialist mayors in the last 100 years and the place is great. The American capitalist system is going down the drain…FAST. The high paying jobs (that kept the working class content) have been moved off shore. The working class NOW has no financial interest in continuing a failed system. Especially when they see themselves as moving to a state of perpetual surfdom to the upper class.

Alright, it’s come to my knowledge that even the top key campaign advisors, or former advisors are predicting an Obama win. Why do Republicans still think they are calling the shots? Why are they not admitting that they know the polls are more accurate than what they presume? The polls are not a lie, McCain is. He’s still spreading hate and lies like he always has. I mean, calling Senator/President-Elect Obama a communist or Marxist is just getting annoying. I think Democrats just need to swat one huge buzzing fly on the wall, and we’ve got at least 4 years of sanctuary before another Republican comes and screws us over again. The reason why I am predicting an Obama win is generally because I figure anyone who is anyone in this country is tired of Bush’s failure! McCain can’t seem to do a good job to separate himself from Bush, and really if you are already for McCain, you will stick to your choice. Same with Obama supporters.
By the way, that psycho-woman I read about tonight that wouldn’t give candy to innocent children because of her political opinion (McCain supporter)..ought to have her house egged! I’m sure she didn’t get very good responses for what she did. Typical McCain zombie!

Latest is Jeremiah Wright ad running in OH,PA and Fl. Yeah yeah it is a third party ownership but hey!! McCain is allowing it!!! Can anyone believe the kind of president and not to mention VP we will have on Nov 5? America, think twice before you vote for McCain.

The audacity of resume-padding (or, why Obama makes things up)
Aug. 17, 2008
Abraham katsman and Kory Bardash , THE JERUSALEM POST
A JPost.com exclusive blog
One of the knocks on Barack Obama is that his résumé is, so to speak, paper-thin. But that is not entirely accurate. Obama, in fact, has held some major job titles which are noteworthy all by themselves: United States Senator, Lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School, Harvard Law Review President-each of these titles puts him in rarefied company. Tack on a few Illinois State Senate terms, and his resume actually appears solid. Yet, in spite of these prestigious positions, Obama has increasingly resorted to making claims of accomplishment that are so patently inflated that even his cheerleaders at CNN and the New York Times are taking notice. Why?
It seems that Obama recognizes that while his résumé titles are impressive, his actual accomplishments are weak. It’s as if he were jockeying to be the next company CEO with little to show for his prior high-profile management positions. So, he does what anyone else does who has spent years coasting on charisma without doing any heavy work: he pads his résumé–stretching the truth here, stealing credit there, and creating the illusion of achievement during his lackadaisical, undistinguished tenure in previous jobs.
A few examples? Take Obama’s first general election ad. We are told that Obama “passed laws” that “extended healthcare for wounded troops who’d been neglected,” with a citation at the bottom to only one Senate bill: The 2008 Defense Authorization Bill, which passed the Senate by a 91-3 vote. Six Senators did not vote-including Obama. Nor is there evidence that he contributed to its passage in any material way. So, his claim to have “passed laws” amounts to citing a bill that was largely unopposed, that he didn’t vote for, and whose passage he didn’t impact. Even his hometown Chicago Tribune caught this false claim. It’s classic résumé-padding–falsely taking credit for the work of others.
Or take one of Obama’s standard lines: his claim of “twenty years of public service.” As pundit Michael Medved has pointed out, the numbers don’t add up. Shall we count? Three years in the US Senate (two of which he’s spent running for President), plus seven years in the Illinois State Senate (a part-time gig, during which time he also served as a law professor) equals, at most, ten. Even if we generously throw in his three years as a “community organizer” (whatever that means, let’s count it as public service), that still adds up to just thirteen.
Obama’s other activities since 1985 have included Harvard Law School, writing two autobiographies (including several months writing in Bali), prestigious summer law firm jobs, three years as an associate at a Chicago law firm, and twelve years part-time on the University of Chicago Law School faculty. As Medved notes, it takes quite the ego to consider any of those stints “public service.” Which of them is Obama including?
Obama made yet another inflated boast last month during his visit to Israel. At his press conference in Hamas rocket-bombarded Sderot, Obama talked up “his” efforts to protect Israel from Iran:
“Just this past week, we passed out of the US Senate Banking Committee – which is my committee – a bill to call for divestment from Iran as way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don’t obtain a nuclear weapon.” (Emphasis added.)
Nice try. But as even CNN noted, Obama is not even on that committee. That is one peculiar “mistake” to simply have made by accident. Again, his claiming credit for the work of others just looks like clumsy, transparent résumé embellishment.
Would someone with Obama’s stellar list of job titles resort to making stuff up? He seems to think he has to. In spite of the many impressive positions he’s held, he’s done almost nothing with them. If he wants to claim specific, relevant accomplishments, his only resort is to stretching the truth.
Look at his record: he’s now completed over half of a Senate term; yet, is there even one signature issue he has taken hold of, other than his own presidential run? Similarly, as the New York Times recently pointed out, Obama spent twelve years on the University of Chicago Law School faculty–singularly famous for its intellectual ferment and incubator of scholarship–and produced not even a single scholarly paper. He was President of Harvard Law Review, but wrote nothing himself. Even as a state legislator for seven years-or community organizer for three years, there is little that shows his imprint. OK, to be fair, he did write two books. About himself.
For all his glowing job titles, Obama has never gotten much done. Is it any wonder that his spokesmen respond with sweeping generalities when asked what Obama has actually accomplished relevant to the presidency?
Obama has held several serious positions from which a serious man could have made a serious impact. But Obama made none. He remains a man of proven charisma, but unproven skill–and not for lack of opportunity. He’s treated his offices as if they were high school student council positions-fun to run for, fun to win, affirmations of popularity, heady recognition from superiors, good resume-builders for stepping up to the next position of power, and…well, that’s about it-actual accomplishments are not expected; heavy lifting is never on the agenda.
Obama’s record of accomplishment is thin not because of lack of opportunity, but in spite of it. For twenty years, Obama has walked the floors of the most prestigious institutions in the nation, but has left no footprints other than those from his runs for whatever office came next.
It’s been said that some people want to be President so they can do something; and some want to be President so they can be something. Obama has accomplished nothing noteworthy despite the golden opportunities and positions he’s had; why should we believe he’d be a different man in the White House?
No company would hire anyone with Obama’s empty track record, pattern of underachievement and padded résumé to be CEO. Is America really ready to hire him as President?

This is the lead story in the “Investor’s Business Daily” and documents why the mortgage crises happened. It’s a bit of a “read” with a somewhat yearly blow-by-blow starting in the 1930′s creation of Fannie Mae.
Particularly concerning is the 1990′s depiction of Community Activist Obama & his ties to ACORN, and how that whole mess influenced our current (and future), problems. Pay particular attention to the time frame of 2006 when Republicans & John McCain tried to bring about needed change but were thwarted by a democratically controlled congress. I know some put Obama’s style above McCain’s substance; and that’s OK if you can live with yourself! But the article is interesting in it’s historic view of the mortgage process and social activism.
I believe every American should read it as it pertains to both our current candidates, and how they may act as a future president! I realize President Obama doesn’t have the experience to have had an earlier hand in fixing the mess, but “activist” Obama had a hand in creating it.
I have grandchildren that will be affected by the actions we take in coming elections and their abilities to obtain housing in the future may be in jeopardy by what we do now! Judge for yourself!

Even 4 years of socialism (NOT that Obama represents anything even close to socialism) couldn’t really hurt America now.
It’s already been so severely destroyed by the GOP with McCain voting 90% of the time with the destructive and corrupt side.
Missing trillions, wars based on lies, division of the nation, propaganda, domestic spying on non-terrorists, failing to provide for the troops, torture, suspending habeus corpus, turning it’s back on the Geneva convention, failing on disaster management, campaigns based on outright lies and extreme distortions and political shenanigans the likes of which we’ve not seen since Nixon, indeed, outperforming Nixon on corruption.. and that’s only the stuff we found out about!!
I’d rather take a risk (though most of the purported risks have been shown to be right-wing LIES) than vote for a guaranteed corrupt failure of a party.

It’s funny, you throw this crap around, I say he’s renounced them… and suddenly the fact he’s renounced them makes him bad in your eyes… the poor guy can never do the right thing from your perspective, no matter what he actually does.
And therein lies the realization that the things you complain about are not actually your honest reasons for criticizing him.
You see, no matter what the truth is, you will ALWAYS try to find a way to distort it as being a bad thing, even if he does something that’s good for everyone, you’ll find a way to criticize it.

To suggest we be ignorant of modern history and ignorant of what a party has done over the last few years would be double-ignorant.
As for living in the past, all I hear from your side is exaggerated claims about Obama’s fleeting “relationship” with Ayers, about him going to a madrassa or about him being a Muslim (despite the fact he’s a Christian).

Educate yourselves. Examine the issues and policies, then make a choice that is guided by reason–not by fear, prejudice, or hatred. Be true to yourselves and do not judge others lest ye be judged.

Get a clue “my friend”. McCain has no answers to these serious issues other then to continue following the same policies and neo-con controlled decisions of the past eight years. This corporate controlled party is over, trickle-down economics has proven a failure as much as communism was in it’s day. The tried and true, “for the people, by the people, of the people” government is returned to make American prosperous, respected, and powerful again. Obama will be the catalyst to the purpose. The party is over for the few rich elitists and the powerful neo-cons.

Phil: “It would be really great if all of the dems here could stop living in the past.”
The dems? John McCain is the one running on demonizing his opponent for associating with people who did “despicable acts” in the 60′s. Obama is the guy who has hundreds of pages of white papers giving detailed policy suggestions on his website, in addition to years of interviews and academic papers getting into the wonkish details. And ultimately people vote for the candidates, not their supporters on some internet board.

Two days to go before election day, where are the copies of Mayor Putin’s medical records? She is the youngest of the crop of candidates, and yet she is afraid to release her medical records? Rumors have it that she may have had a few abortions, that she is the alleged mother of her daughter’s child, that she has ADD, and that she has boobs job….. Dispel these rumors by releasing copies of your medical records!!!

To “Dan” – you just keep telling yourself that Dan. Maybe if you say it enough you will actually believe it. If Barack wins, it will be because of his race and his expert charges of “racism” to anyone who does not agree with him. He is the polar opposite of what the great Martin Luther King, Jr. meant by “not the color of his skin, but by the content of his character”. Content of Barack’s character? Try, Ayers, Wright, Rezko, Socialism, Marxism, Angry anti-American wife, PLO sympathizer [LA Times owns the tape to prove that one], media censor, political climber, etc. etc. etc. I am a lifelong Democrat who cannot responsibly vote for a man of such low character.

Those prediction numbers are awfully high. I hope Obama will win. Please
don’t worry about the White House it will remain white. Most of his callers will be white. Don’t forget when you are in a certain income bracket most of
your friends are white. I wish you all would stop seeing Obama as just black. He is not, he is a w/b (white/black man) he was raised by his mother, grandmother and grandfather. As a mother it disappoints me that people just over look her contributions to her son I want to scream it was that mother who raised him and people on look to his father who was not there always for what ever reason.
His values come from an older white male. He is more of white man than a black man. Most of all he appears to be a good man and we certainly need more of them. He is smart and he seems to be a very quick study. He has passed all the test. Look how he handled himself in Europe. This is a great nation we can certainly work together. We will not end all of our problems but we can definitely be a beacon of hope for the rest of the world. Mr. McCain I liked you so much in the beginning and like you I was very disappointed when you came to Meridian, MS with the poor turn out The Riley Center should have had an overflow crowd out into the streets. Mississippi is a republican state and they should have showed up. Now I do see the overflow crowds and that is good. Mr. McCain you stopped being inclusive. You went to Selma, Ala
but somewhere along the way you stopped trying to get others involved. I know wanting to win made you stop being that stand up person. Please find him and bring him back. Gov. Palin has excited the crowds. I think she was a good choice. By the way Gov. Palin keep those clothes forget what the others are saying. If the clothes were bought by the party and it is not illegal for you to take the clothes so be it. Both of these men are great men and apparently smart men. Good Luck on Tuesday. One of you will say boy I am glad this is over and what a journey. Then one of you will say the hard job begins. This has been the best election season in my life time. God Bless America may your light continue to shine.

To “Dan” – It seems to me that you are completely clueless and brainwashed. I think for myself and choose not to ignore Barack’s disreputable associations. They are an insight to his climbing, empty-suit politician personality. I refuse to cast my vote for a “Cult of Personality” who considers himself to be smarter and more moral than the original framers of the Constitution. Barack’s problem is hubris and arrogance. It is his problem as a candidate and will be his downfall as President. Barack wants to be President because he simply desires to PROVE that he can do it. Sen. John McCain wants to be President because he has always cared about his Country. For this lifelong Democrat, the choice is a moral one. McCain 2008/Hillary 2012!!!

I hope you are right. I hope that Obama wins by a landslide and forever puts an end to the nasty, vicious, accusatory campaigning which the Republicans invented and have used so unscrupulously. I hope that we never again see Swift Boat, Scary Muslim type fearmongering in the way of the issues again.
I decided following the conventions, when I was still considering voting for McCain, that I would not vote for anyone who would entrust this country to a mean-spirited shrew like Palin, who would employ fear in the absence of policy, and that it would be better to take a chance on Obama, whatever his past associations, than to give my vote to someone like McCain who has proven he wants to foment paranoia and grabbiness above the strength and health of our nation. In contrast, Obama was never vicious and accusatory and spoke about his hopes instead of pouring gasoline on fears.
I hope this election puts an end to that (mostly Republican) brand of dirty tricks and rabblerousing.

Mr. Stern is, in my book, not the most reliable person in regards to ethics and morals. Good luck with your line of foolish reasoning.

lbh – the problem with the Republicans is they are looking at Senator Obama as a candidate when he is the focal point of a movement.Senator Obama is a walking, living, breathing phenomenon. If people can’t see what he’s about, they are missing out on an important part of existence. He possesses so many traits that are intrinsic to life in a society. Family, service to others, compassion, sense of humor, heart, drive, ambition. Senator Obama has it all. And he has the prayers of millions to back him up. Too bad the neo-cons cannot say the same about their candidate.

To “Deboggen” – For the record, my party IS Democrat. Just because someone is smart enough and not gullible enough to vote for Barack, you assume that I am a Republican. Oh yeah, and I HAVE done my research on Ayers, Wright, Rezko, et al. Sadly, a lot more research than the MSM journalists who are afraid to criticize Barack for fear of being labeled “racists”. My research finds the obvious; that Barack uses people like Ayers and Wright to further his own personal ambition, and then throws them under the bus and lies about his closeness to them in order for Americans to not fear him. Even the liberal media, who has covered him for nearly 2 years says that they still do not know who the “real Barack” is. That is strange. I pride myself on never being a mindless “follower” . It is easy to jump on the “Barack Bandwagon”; it is much harder to go against the flow and vote [or not vote] your conscience. McCain 2008/Hillary 2012.

Getting down to the wire…
In situations such as this year, I wait to decide who to vote for till the end. (You’re wondering why?)
I do have a method to my madness.
Government, our government has a two party system for a reason. Giving one party complete and utter control of government is a recipe for corruption and disaster. It is also never good for the American people.
It looks like the democrats will have a filabuster proof majority in congress. I can’t give them the presidency too. I can’t as a citizen of this country. We all know that both sides are corrupt. So why then would we think that just because it is now the democrats that will have the power, it will be better. They aren’t any better and the evidence is overwhelming.
So this is what it comes down to, the better of the country. This is for me atleast. I know why we have a two party system and the different level of govenment. I can’t, I just can’t allow one party to have that kind of control. I do it for the good of the nation.

Funny. That is EXACTLY what Hugo says about the (few remaining) free media outlets in Venezuela. (America of course is the one who has bought them.) But I’m sure that Republican’s attempt to extend their disastrous decade in power has nothing to do with their sudden aversion to the media reporting facts and truth (including over a month on every angle of the Wright scandal last year) rather than hollow talking points.

Unless you have real facts, which you don’t, or real proof, which you don’t, than you cannot claim to be an expert nor are you smarter than anyone else out there to make such statements. As with the MSM over all of its history, some of the most important requirements are to have multiple, non-biased, reliable and accurate sources that can back up your “assumptions”. There is not a single item that you can use to state that Obama thinks or follows any of your fear based insinuations and prophesies. If so many MSM “professionals from all sides, both pro and biased have not been able to prove, beyond a doubt what you propose than what makes you think that anyone is going to believe you. You make yourself look more the fool if you believe that.

Sandy; since 2006, Democrats have had control of both houses of congress.
Come to think of it, the economy started “tanking” in 2006! Read the link here if you want the truth:
This is the lead story in the “Investor’s Business Daily” and documents why the mortgage crises happened. It’s a bit of a “read” with a somewhat yearly blow-by-blow starting in the 1930′s creation of Fannie Mae.
Particularly concerning is the 1990′s depiction of Community Activist Obama & his ties to ACORN, and how that whole mess influenced our current (and future), problems. Pay particular attention to the time frame of 2006 when Republicans & John McCain tried to bring about needed change but were thwarted by a democratically controlled congress. I know some put Obama’s style above McCain’s substance; and that’s OK if you can live with yourself! But the article is interesting in it’s historic view of the mortgage process and social activism.
I believe every American should read it as it pertains to both our current candidates, and how they may act as a future president! I realize President Obama doesn’t have the experience to have had an earlier hand in fixing the mess, but “activist” Obama had a hand in creating it.
I have grandchildren that will be affected by the actions we take in coming elections and their abilities to obtain housing in the future may be in jeopardy by what we do now! Judge for yourself!

November 5, 2008:
George Banks, the fictitious father in the movie; “Father of the Bride” just announced that, “because of the pending tax burden under President Obama, my small sneaker manufacturing business, which had marginal success prior to the election, will shut down on December 24, 2008!” — That’s right; Christmas Eve.
George later went on to state; “I met a businessman from India at a cocktail party last month, who offered me top dollar for my manufacturing equipment.” — George later stated, “I had to take the gentleman from India’s offer seriously before President Obama took office, because if I sold the equipment after the Obama tax & distribute-wealth plan took affect, the profit from that equipment sale would’ve been taxed at the 50% capital gains as opposed to the 39% I’ll currently get charged with!”
George later apologized to his long term employees for shuttering the plant the day before Christmas, but as he said, “it was an inevitable outcome of the new administration’s policy; purely a business decision; but I’ll use some of the savings from shutting down the plant now, as opposed to later, in order to give a better severance for all my long time, loyal and loving employee! –
George later lamented that he’s very sad for his daughter, his wife, as well as wedding planners; Hank & Frank whom have essentially become part of the family of late;
as well as the florists,
seamstress,
the musicians in the band,
the caterers,
the interior designers;
the ice sculptor artist,
the “Chake” maker, and the
tent suppliers.
George went on to state that; his daughter’s dream wedding will now be scaled down to a small reception at the local VFW hall with a nice cake from Costco. –
George dejectedly laughed, recalling the funny way Hank pronounced the word “cake” while wiping a tear from his eye.
George stated; “this is a very sad day for my family, but even sadder for America! God bless you all – and; “good luck!”
Hank & Frank were later spotted walking dejectedly hand, in hand from the Bank’s residence, wondering where their next wedding gig would come from?
Hank stated,:”I’d go back to being a florist again, but the new Obama import tax for the flowers from Columbia, make that prospect prohibitively costly.” As they pondered their future Hans stated, “perhaps I’ll sell other Columbian products to get by in the mean time!”

Where in my post did I suggest I was “ok” with complete rule from any party, let alone the republican party?

During this campaign, the Republicans have masterfully crafted the art of division, conquest, pandering, smears, and spins. It is a shame… I used to be a die-hard Republican until this Septogenarian, anger-prone, erratic, out of touch, and cancer-prone McBush and arrogant/self-righteous Mayor Putin entered the race.

The audacity of resume-padding (or, why Obama makes things up)
Aug. 17, 2008
Abraham katsman and Kory Bardash , THE JERUSALEM POST
A JPost.com exclusive blog
One of the knocks on Barack Obama is that his résumé is, so to speak, paper-thin. But that is not entirely accurate. Obama, in fact, has held some major job titles which are noteworthy all by themselves: United States Senator, Lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School, Harvard Law Review President-each of these titles puts him in rarefied company. Tack on a few Illinois State Senate terms, and his resume actually appears solid. Yet, in spite of these prestigious positions, Obama has increasingly resorted to making claims of accomplishment that are so patently inflated that even his cheerleaders at CNN and the New York Times are taking notice. Why?
It seems that Obama recognizes that while his résumé titles are impressive, his actual accomplishments are weak. It’s as if he were jockeying to be the next company CEO with little to show for his prior high-profile management positions. So, he does what anyone else does who has spent years coasting on charisma without doing any heavy work: he pads his résumé–stretching the truth here, stealing credit there, and creating the illusion of achievement during his lackadaisical, undistinguished tenure in previous jobs.
A few examples? Take Obama’s first general election ad. We are told that Obama “passed laws” that “extended healthcare for wounded troops who’d been neglected,” with a citation at the bottom to only one Senate bill: The 2008 Defense Authorization Bill, which passed the Senate by a 91-3 vote. Six Senators did not vote-including Obama. Nor is there evidence that he contributed to its passage in any material way. So, his claim to have “passed laws” amounts to citing a bill that was largely unopposed, that he didn’t vote for, and whose passage he didn’t impact. Even his hometown Chicago Tribune caught this false claim. It’s classic résumé-padding–falsely taking credit for the work of others.
Or take one of Obama’s standard lines: his claim of “twenty years of public service.” As pundit Michael Medved has pointed out, the numbers don’t add up. Shall we count? Three years in the US Senate (two of which he’s spent running for President), plus seven years in the Illinois State Senate (a part-time gig, during which time he also served as a law professor) equals, at most, ten. Even if we generously throw in his three years as a “community organizer” (whatever that means, let’s count it as public service), that still adds up to just thirteen.
Obama’s other activities since 1985 have included Harvard Law School, writing two autobiographies (including several months writing in Bali), prestigious summer law firm jobs, three years as an associate at a Chicago law firm, and twelve years part-time on the University of Chicago Law School faculty. As Medved notes, it takes quite the ego to consider any of those stints “public service.” Which of them is Obama including?
Obama made yet another inflated boast last month during his visit to Israel. At his press conference in Hamas rocket-bombarded Sderot, Obama talked up “his” efforts to protect Israel from Iran:
“Just this past week, we passed out of the US Senate Banking Committee – which is my committee – a bill to call for divestment from Iran as way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don’t obtain a nuclear weapon.” (Emphasis added.)
Nice try. But as even CNN noted, Obama is not even on that committee. That is one peculiar “mistake” to simply have made by accident. Again, his claiming credit for the work of others just looks like clumsy, transparent résumé embellishment.
Would someone with Obama’s stellar list of job titles resort to making stuff up? He seems to think he has to. In spite of the many impressive positions he’s held, he’s done almost nothing with them. If he wants to claim specific, relevant accomplishments, his only resort is to stretching the truth.
Look at his record: he’s now completed over half of a Senate term; yet, is there even one signature issue he has taken hold of, other than his own presidential run? Similarly, as the New York Times recently pointed out, Obama spent twelve years on the University of Chicago Law School faculty–singularly famous for its intellectual ferment and incubator of scholarship–and produced not even a single scholarly paper. He was President of Harvard Law Review, but wrote nothing himself. Even as a state legislator for seven years-or community organizer for three years, there is little that shows his imprint. OK, to be fair, he did write two books. About himself.
For all his glowing job titles, Obama has never gotten much done. Is it any wonder that his spokesmen respond with sweeping generalities when asked what Obama has actually accomplished relevant to the presidency?
Obama has held several serious positions from which a serious man could have made a serious impact. But Obama made none. He remains a man of proven charisma, but unproven skill–and not for lack of opportunity. He’s treated his offices as if they were high school student council positions-fun to run for, fun to win, affirmations of popularity, heady recognition from superiors, good resume-builders for stepping up to the next position of power, and…well, that’s about it-actual accomplishments are not expected; heavy lifting is never on the agenda.
Obama’s record of accomplishment is thin not because of lack of opportunity, but in spite of it. For twenty years, Obama has walked the floors of the most prestigious institutions in the nation, but has left no footprints other than those from his runs for whatever office came next.
It’s been said that some people want to be President so they can do something; and some want to be President so they can be something. Obama has accomplished nothing noteworthy despite the golden opportunities and positions he’s had; why should we believe he’d be a different man in the White House?
No company would hire anyone with Obama’s empty track record, pattern of underachievement and padded résumé to be CEO. Is America really ready to hire him as President?

tdr,
I don’t think you meant self-deprecating. Self-deprecating is a kind of joke one makes of onesself, kinda like when McCain says he has the oldness necessary to lead.
And I dunno, just because we disagree with you about a few things doesn’t exaclty make us a “sea of wolves” or “minions.” And maybe it’s me, but villifying someone who votes progressive as supporting Bin Laden isn’t a nice thing to do. I mean, I had a friend who was in the twin towers on 9-11, but that doesn’t mean I support the GOP. I think you should try being a tad bit more tolerant and tone down the hate and stuff.

Notice ALL these comments are about Obama. That, in a nutshell, is why he’s gonna win.
No one is interested at all in the other guy. That old guy, whatshisname. He might as well be Nader or Barr for the amount of traction he’s got.
You’ve got the candidate for president, and the people who don’t like him.
No wonder Obama’s pulling in 300+ in polls.
Note to republicans: try mentioning your candidate now and then. If you make your campaign all about the Democrat of course you’re gonna lose.

Here the thing’ Obama has lied about Ayers; said “he was just a guy in the hood.”
He’s insulted the intellegence of the American people because every law school in the country covers the landmark law case; “US-v-Ayers” because Ayers got off on a technacality. I assume Harvard Law studies that case in depth.
Secondly, Obama had a gentlemans agreement with McCain to accept public financing; but backed out. He’s since raise $700 million while McCain only gets $250 mil; “What do you think there’s an Obama Channel??”
So, Obama’s pattern of lies doesn’t make you stop & think; “what else is he lying about?” The economy; Taxes; Health Care; Education or Student Loans??
In essence, he can’t do what he’s promising, so he’s lying to you!! Plain & simple….
So Obama

Barack Obama provided a glowing endorsement of a book by domestic terrorist William Ayers in the Dec. 21, 1997 Chicago Tribune. (Zombietime.com)
Barack Obama, who has consistently downplayed his relationship with William Ayers during his presidential campaign, once gave a glowing endorsement of a book by the former domestic terrorist and was mentioned by name in the book itself.
A blogger unearthed the Dec. 21, 1997, endorsement in the Chicago Tribune and posted photographs of the praise for Ayers’ book on Zombietime.com Saturday.
Featured next to a smiling photograph of himself, then-State Senator Obama called Ayers’ book, “A Kind and Just Parent: Children of the Juvenile Court,” a “searing and timely account of the juvenile court system, and the courageous individuals who rescue hope from despair.”
The book, which details life at the Chicago Juvenile Court prison school, mentions Obama by name on page 82 when it describes Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood:
“Our neighbors include Muhammad Ali, former mayor Eugene Sawyer, poets Gwendolyn Brooks and Elizabeth Alexander, and writer Barack Obama. Minister Louis Farrakhan lives a block from our home and adds, we think, a unique dimension to the idea of ‘safe neighborhood watch’: the Fruit of Islam, his security force, has an eye on things twenty-four-hours a day.”
The Obama campaign said the blurb was not a full-fledged review of the book.
“He didn’t do a review. He provided one line about the book to the Tribune,” campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt told FOXNews.com.
A month before the item appeared, on Nov. 20, 1997, Michelle Obama, then dean of student services and director of the University Community Service Center, held a panel at the University of Chicago that featured both Barack Obama and Ayers.
“Ayers will be joined by Sen. Barack Obama, Senior Lecturer in the Law School, who is working to combat legislation that would put more juvenile offenders into the adult system,” the University of Chicago Chronicle reported on Nov. 6, 1997.
Obama has been criticized for refusing to elaborate on the extent of his relationship with Ayers and for claiming to have had no idea Ayers was a co-founder of the Wesather Underground, which claimed responsibility for bombing the Pentagon, U.S. Capitol and a New York Supreme Court justice’s home in the Sixties.
The Obama campaign has noted that Obama was 8 years old when Ayers and the Weather Underground were active and has no link to their activities. Ayers has said he has “no regrets” about his participation in the domestic terror group.
“A Kind and Just Parent” was in stock at Amazon.com and ranked 51,273 in sales on Monday.

Planewizard: Again, you still appear to have a very poor understanding of how your government works and even less about it’s real history over the past many years. The recession occurred over 8 years “during” the Bush administration along with 4 years of Republican controlled legislatures and then 3 years of Republican delays, filibustering, and Bush vetoes.  The Republicans had most legislative control during most of Clintons administration for eight years before that. The Republicans have been forcing most legislation to favor big business at the expense of you and I and preventing legislation that would help you and I in favor of big business.  The Rich get richer, the population of the poor grows and the middle class disappears.  There has to be a balance or everyone loses, eventually.  The Republicans have never understood that as they believe it is the survival of the fittest at all costs.  He who dies with the most, wins.  Power and money and the more the better despite the affects on others.  Greed and selfishness at it best.

To the dillrod that said: “I am still waiting for an intelligent idea from McCain.”
You want a “intelligent” healthcare plan that includes all the people or one like Obama’s that just covers kids and leaves out millions? Do you want a “intelligent” tax plan like McCain’s that crates jobs or one like Obama’s that is going to kill jobs. You want an “intelligent” plan that will shrink government and taxes or one Like Obama’s that will increase taxes for business, with “more for education, more “aid to foreign countries”, “increase in the working class tax rate”, cutting out the “tax cuts” that give low income people a check for $4,500 each year. Do you want an “intelligent” plan that takes away the taxes on your savings account, giving you more money or one like Obama’s that will tax your retirement plan. Is it really that hard for you to figure that out? Maybe you do need somebody to look out for you!

Planewizard – sorry, but the Democrats have NOT have control of the Congress for the past 2 years – where do you people get this stuff? The Republicans held filibuster power in the Senate or did you overlook that little fact. And Bush had veto power.
The economy started to really tank 6 months ago. But not because of the Democrats – you forget about Phil Gramm, Enron, bank deregulation, housing deregulation, etc., etc., etc. all set in motion by the Bush Administration and a Republican Congress.
I am a GREAT-grandmother and I voted for the Obama/Biden ticket last Tuesday. I have spent hours volunteering and phone-banking for the Obama campaign so my grandchildren and great-grandchildren do not have to face a needless war like over 4000 of our soldiers did and paid the ultimate price. Young men and women just entering life and had it snuffed out because of a President who lied and mislead the American people. I will not give McCain that same power.

To “Dboggen” – If you were so sure that your “Savior” Barack is NOT guilty of poor character and judgement in choosing friends and business partners like Rezko, Wright, Ayers, etc, then why does it take you so long to explain your defense of him? And why dont YOU state proof that I am wrong? Because you dont have it. Even Barack understands that he is full of BS. Case in point, during the infamous Philadelphia debate with Hillary, Barack weakly claimed, “Ayers is just a guy in my neighborhood”. But since then, even the most liberal of journalists found his statement to be a total and unabashed lie. Worse, a direct lie to the American people that he claims to want to “save” from the evil clutches of the Republicans and George W.’s policies. Barack stuttered, stammered, and even looked like was about to cry during that debate. I will never forget watching his weakness next to the stronger, more experienced, and more worthy candidate, Hillary. It was then that I decided that I could NEVER vote for Barack. There is something basically untrue about him.

The United States’ current international image as the world’s bully must be reformed if we hope to effect stability in regions that are now hotbeds of terrorism and nuclear adventurism. Economic recovery, as we see it, is dependent on those goals. Countries and nations around the world is watching this election & hoping for change to restore America to it’s greatness. Our enemies hope for a Mccain win so the war will continue to weaken our economy. Hundreds of thousands of American youths, minorities, and America’s strategics, intelligent & powerful fear a winning for McCain. I see hope & the closest shot we could get at world peace w/ Obama.

I am living in new zealand and when I read all the comments that are pro Obama, I can’t help but wonder about their comments when they say that McCain is running a negative campaign. Mr Obama is very clever, he have this clean image and “black Messiah” attitude, and he knows that the media will run a negative campaign for him!! I listen to special guest in shows calling poor Palin “stupid” and “dum”. And that is perfectly fine, but God help you if you say anything against Mr Obama!!! In any other country people would not get away with name calling like they do in America. Do you have no respect for people who have a diffrent opinion than you? I thouht you are the land of the free…? Well, you are not, if you dont approve of abortion, if you go to church and have morals, then you are stupid andare backwards! Unbelevaible! You seem to e aa very shallow nation, I don’t say you are, but you have that image. And one last thing, a public health system does not work, it does not work in a small country like NZ and will not work in america. I thing Americas days as a super power is over. Mr Obama will see to it.

Thomas Sowell was born in North Carolina and grew up in Harlem . As with many others in his neighborhood, he left home early and did not finish high school. The next few years were difficult ones, but eventually he joined the Marine Corps and became a photographer in the Korean War. After leaving the service, Sowell entered Harvard University , worked a part-time job as a photographer and studied the science that would become his passion and
profession: economics.
After graduating magna cum laude from Harvard University (1958), he went on to receive his master’s in economics from Columbia University (1959) and a doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago (1968).
In the early ’60s, Sowell held jobs as an economist with the Department of Labor and AT&T. But his real interest was in teaching and scholarship. In 1965, at Cornell University , he began the first of many professorships. His other teaching assignments include Rutgers University , Amherst University , Brandeis University and the University of California at Los Angeles , where he taught in the early ’70s and also from 1984 to 1989. Sowell has published a large volume of writing. His dozen books, as well as numerous articles and essays, cover a wide range of topics, from classic economic theory to judicial activism, from civil rights to choosing the right college Moreover, much of his writing is considered ground-breaking — work that will outlive the great majority of scholarship done today.
Though Sowell had been a regular contributor to newspapers in the late ’70s and early ’80s, he did not begin his career as a newspaper columnist until 1984. George F. Will’s writing, says Sowell, proved to him that someone could say something of substance in so short a space (750 words). And besides, writing for the general public enables him to address the heart of issues without the smoke and mirrors that so often accompany academic writing. In 1990, he won the prestigious Francis Boyer Award, presented by The American Enterprise Institute. Currently Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institute in Stanford , Calif.
Obama and McCain
Thomas Sowell
Thursday, June 05, 2008
Now that the two parties have finally selected their presidential candidates it is time for a sober– if not grim– assessment of where we are. Not since 1972 have we been presented with two such painfully inadequate candidates. When election day came that year, I could not bring myself to vote for either George McGovern or Richard Nixon. I stayed home.
This year, none of us has that luxury. While all sorts of gushing is going on in the media, and posturing is going on in politics, the biggest national sponsor of terrorism in the world– Iran– is moving step by step toward building a nuclear bomb.
The point when they get that bomb will be the point of no return. Iran ‘s nuclear bomb will be the terrorists’ nuclear bomb– and they can make 9/11 look like child’s play.
All the options that are on the table right now will be swept off the table forever. Our choices will be to give in to whatever the terrorists demand– however outrageous those demands might be– or to risk seeing American cities start disappearing in radioactive mushroom clouds.
All the things we are preoccupied with today, from the price of gasoline to health care to global warming, will suddenly no longer matter.
Just as the Nazis did not find it enough to simply kill people in their concentration camps, but had to humiliate and dehumanize them first, so we can expect terrorists with nuclear weapons to both humiliate us and force us to humiliate ourselves, before they finally start killing us.
They have already telegraphed their punches with their sadistic beheadings of innocent civilians, and with the popularity of videotapes of those beheadings in the Middle East .
They have already telegraphed their intention to dictate to us with such things as Osama bin Laden’s threats to target those places in America that did not vote the way he prescribed in the 2004 elections. He could not back up those threats then but he may be able to in a very few years.
The terrorists have given us as clear a picture of what they are all about as Adolf Hitler and the Nazis did during the 1930s– and our ‘leaders’ and intelligentsia have ignored the warning signs as resolutely as the ‘leaders’
and intelligentsia of the 1930s downplayed the dangers of Hitler. We are much like people drifting down the Niagara River , oblivious to the waterfalls up ahead.. Once we go over those falls, we cannot come back up again.
What does this have to do with today’s presidential candidates? It has everything to do with them. One of these candidates will determine what we are going to do to stop Iran from going nuclear– or whether we are going to do anything other than talk, as Western leaders talked in the 1930s.
There is one big difference between now and the 1930s. Although the West’s lack of military preparedness and its political irresolution led to three solid years of devastating losses to Nazi Germany and imperial Japan , nevertheless when all the West’s industrial and military forces were finally mobilized, the democracies were able to turn the tide and win decisively.
But you cannot lose a nuclear war for three years and then come back. You cannot even sustain the will to resist for three years when you are first broken down morally by threats and then devastated by nuclear bombs.
Our one window of opportunity to prevent this will occur within the term of whoever becomes President of the United States next January. At a time like this, we do not have the luxury of waiting for our ideal candidate or of indulging our emotions by voting for some third party candidate to show our
displeasure– at the cost of putting someone in the White House who is not up to the job.
Senator John McCain has been criticized in this column many times. But, when all is said and done, Senator McCain has not spent decades aiding and abetting people who hate America . On the contrary, he has paid a huge price for resisting our enemies, even when they held him prisoner and tortured him. The choice between him and Barack Obama should be a no-brainer

I was watching Jerry Springer define the difference between Conservative’s and Liberal’s on a C-Span talk seminar. He says that we look to the government to provide protection by the Police and we look to government for protection by our fire department. He says that when you get that pink slip isn’t that “violent” to you and when we can’t take a sick kid to the doctor isn’t that very much “violence” to you and your family. So he’s saying basically that you can’t stand on your own two feet. You can’t make your own way. You can’t think for yourself and you need somebody to make sure you have a job and healthcare. The government owes you a job. The government owes you healthcare. The government owes you an education. You’re not responsible for where you’re at in life. You don’t need to take responsibility for anything. The government is responsible for you. You can’t do anything on your own. Now you liberal’s say this isn’t socialism. But if it’s not, then what is it? When you look to government to provide for your well being, take from the working class and give to the none responsible, not working class, it’s basically socialism. When government has the all the power it’s socialism. When you think all your needs should be provided by government its socialism. Your the person that is going to destroy this country from the inside out and trash our system and your vote for “change”. Your going to get “change” all right. You might not like it but your going to be stuck with it.

Frankly, the economy hummed along even with the wars & terrorism until 2006; at least from my own personal barometer,,,,that’s when thing got bad (unemployment).
So as hateful as you are towards Bush, he did allright for the first 6 years, even with 9/11 and all the crap that went with it.
Bush screwed up in Iraq. The deficit spending is all wrapped around that war. You take Iraq out of the equation, and he was a better than average Prez.

Yet another Republican insulting Senator Clinton supporters. Much like John McCain’s selection of Palin, PhillyPaul’s overwrought performance shows just how the Republicans see modern women. The whole use of weakness as the ultimate insult really screams out Republican (as opposed to President Bush’s fastidious efforts to portray a strong and parental, never admitting defeat, image in slavish devotion to the Rove playbook of being the strong protector).

Obama didn’t vote much as Senator. But he sure voted against the confirmation of justice Samuel Alito. He sated support for a ban on standard capacity magazines and has voted for all anti-gun bills. His website states his support for gun owner firearm registration and micro-stamping. Obama says he believes the gun bans in Washington, D.C. are constitutional and opposes states Right-to-Carry laws. . Obama is mailing out pamphlets to all the people in Wisconsin right now saying he is all for 2nd amendment rights, just opposite of his real voting record. Who can really trust such a liar on anything. Biden is worse yet. Biden doesn’t merely support a ban on guns, he actively pushes it. In the current Congress, another Biden bill (S.2237) proposes to renew the Clinton gun ban.

Obama supporters, let’s not get distracted. We MUST fight and press our way to the very bitter end.
Bush/McCain/Palin/Cheney Republicans feel ENTITLED to not just the White House, but to our entire great country…they will not give this up easily.
If we allow any Republican as President back in the White House right now, they will interpret that as having significant political capital to continue down the Bush path ‘as is’. We must send a strong message and help usher them into a much needed ‘time out’ for several years so they have real time to think about it.
The election was stolen in 2000, and many were fooled in 2004.
But this year, WE ARE READY. We are not listening to the pundits and their predictions. We must work extra extra hard every single hour/day and get out the vote.
Our mantra for the next 48 hours: Work, Vote, Work, Vote, Work, Vote.
I am encouraged and amazed by all the Obama supporters I’ve met who are working across this country…Truly Amazing to witness such selflessness and dedication. So Proud of YOU.
Be blessed.

Im being accused of copying & pasting. Some, I’m guilty of, but the Father of the Bride analogy is mine, as well as the following:
I had to “de-program” my 7 yr old grandson last night.
His union-loyalist parents gave him an Obama kids book. He was telling me all about young Barak; (I just rolled my eyes).
He naturally assumed I was going to vote for Barak, in which case I said “no Bobby, no-way would I vote for Barak” — He looked at me strange and asked “why not Grandpa?”
I admit, I had to sit and think a minute, because my objection to Obama is that, I just don’t trust him. I thought of the many lies he’s told about Ayers and ACORN etc., but I guess the easiest one to explain to a 7 yr old, was his cancelling his gentlemens agreement with McCain on campaign financing.
So I told him; Bobby,,,I don’t like Obama and won’t vote for him, because of the following:
John McCain & Barak were planning to play a baseball game next Tuesday. They both agreed to use plastic bats during the game so that no one would get hurt.
Johnny showed up on Tuesday with his slightly used, plastic bat, but Barak came with a brand new wooden bat, that the sporting goods store gave him, because they didn’t like the way Johnny ran the bases.
Of course, this allowed Barak to hit the ball so much further than Johnny. Johnny was mad but said,,,”ya know what Barak,,,,go ahead and play with your wooden bat; I’ll still play with my plastic one.” But I’ll play fairly, with no one to “payback” should I win!
You however Barak, sort of “owe” the sporting goods store owner, “something” because he didn’t give you that bat “just to be a nice guy.

RJ: “If Nobama Jomama wins, will there be voter fraud? Or is that just when Republicans win elections?”
Actual voter fraud, as opposed to bogus registrations, is basically a myth. Mickey Mouse can register, but no poll worker is going to let him actually vote. When pressed to come up with actual, concrete examples of voter fraud, Republican spokesmen can barely come up with more than one or two “wife voting for husband” actual examples (and there are as many of these leaning Republican as leaning Democrat).

Here’s another post by a foreigner. Don’t take my word on the socialism healthcare: Here’s his text–
Obama does not like the US constitution. He wants to bring about economic and social systems to this country that have been proven NOT to work in other parts of the world, socialism and Marxism. I was born in a country whose system was based on Marxism…it is terrible, it does not work. Why is it that the best innovations and discoveries were created in the USA…not in Iran, Cuba or Venezuela? The democracy and freedom that citizens enjoy in this wonderful country allows individuals to grow and innovate. That is not the process that happens in a socialized governments. A Socialized medical healthcare system controlled by the government does not work. Obama’s thinking is from 100 years ago. The people of socialized countries are moving towards our democracy and Obama wants to take us back to systems that have failed. Obama’s Change will be a “Change for Worse” things to come.
He is a liar…see this video

Yes, except Obama owes 3 million+ ordinary Americans for his $600 million dollars. Would you like to get into who gave McCain his $360 million? 91% of Obama’s money comes from individual donations. Only 54% of McCain’s comes from individual donations (and 23% from federal funds). Who DOES John McCain owe?

Posted by: jhw539 | November 2, 2008, 11:56 pm 11:56 pm

planewizard,
I give you that he went back on his word to take public financing. Of course McCain went back on his word to run a respectable campaign.
It’s sad that pragmatism in politicians is more important than honoring an agreement.
But it’s the way things are. I’ll still be voting for Obama. He was unwise to say he’d take public financing and didn’t have enough faith in the grass roots movement he was building. The passion of the American people for his candidacy even took him by surprise. It would have been foolish to give up the donations. Honorable? Sure. But idiotic. I, for one, am glad the democrats finally fielded a candidate who wasn’t a complete pushover.
And I think it’s honorable he didn’t take lobbyist money, and that most of his funds are from people paying less than $200.
If we’re gonna talk about honor, I have plenty of gripes about McCain and Palin’s dishonorable campaigns and smear tactics. So no one can cast stones here.

Military donations favor Obama
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. soldiers have donated more presidential campaign money to Democrat Barack Obama than to Republican John McCain, a reversal of previous campaigns in which military donations tended to favor GOP White House hopefuls, a nonpartisan group reported Thursday.
Troops serving abroad have given nearly six times as much money to Obama’s presidential campaign as they have to McCain’s, the Center for Responsive Politics said.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008...
The military is becoming wise to Republican tactics. My son, who is on his third tour of duty in Iraq, and my nephew who is on his second tour, are ardent supporters of Senator Obama. God bless them for their service and the thousands of others like them.

Voting for Obama is voting for disaster. Do we not remember 1976? Everyone was tired of the Republicans so we voted in an inexperienced peanut farming Democrat who allowed gas to skyrocket and through his direct involvement allowed the Ayatollah Khomeni to take power in Iran and a vote for Obama will send us into the same downward spiral. As I said before even the FBI said he could not get a federal job so he should be happy this is a vote. And again a man who can’t vote yes or no just stands like a moron and says present. Oh yeah I really want someone like that commanding ourmilitary and running our country. Think people think!!!!!!

jean: “I hate that the media continues to tip toe around him and make the people that question him the victims.”
Tiptoe around him? Did you pay attention at all during the primaries? Rev Wright was headline news for a month. Ayers was raised during a primetime debate. His depth of experience in the IL Senate (and good laws he wrote that are now on the books) is barely mentioned. Senator Clinton was the “inevitable” anointed winner. His foreign trip, taken at the direct prodding by McCain, turned into a crucifixion, spun as being arrogant and an opportunity to attack him in press conferences, asking about how wrong he was on the surge while in Jordan for example.
Meanwhile McCain confuses Shia and Sunni and nary a peep. Not a mention of his silver-spoon Academy days, other than as a boys-will-be-boys joke. No analysis of his (lack of) actual law-making in the quarter century in the Senate, where being a Maverick seems to mean losing every legislative battle.
Are you simply employing the favored Rovian Big Lie tactic, or are you honestly this ignorant of the history all of us have lived through in the past two years?

M3thod; Here’s an original thought (one of many herein):
When I look at the map of the Middle East (ME) I see that Iraq & Afghanistan are on either side of Iran.
Its well known that Iran is the real danger in the ME. (I won’t do the laundry list); I’ll just state that they started the Islamo-facism in 1979 with the hostage crisis.
So here we are in 2008; in Afghanistan (the good war – if you will), and in Iraq (the bad war)
After spending all the Blood & money in Iraq, President Obama wants to pull out!
No establishing bases or having some other “eye on the cornfield” Just get out expeditiously!
That my friends (pun fully intended), is the wrong policy. Iran will ultimately be the problem child in the ME and it makes “all the sense in the world” to just leave – “Please!?!”
I mean,,,,”we’re there now!!” Iran will always be a problem and we should be nearby to lend the population a hand, should they decide to change their theocratic course.
The young generation in Iran will demand change, and they’ll need some help.
Again,,,,we’re in the neighborhood NOW!

“What about Obama’s got this great plan, this $3,000 tax credit for every new full job you hire?” This is a joke, and everybody in business knows it. If you’re going to pay somebody, rough figures, $50,000, it’s going to cost you at least 65,000 to hire ‘em. Okay, so it cost you 65,000, you spend that to get a $3,000 tax credit? It’s a silly deal. Nobody would take it. It’s crazy. And then once these employers don’t take the deal if Obama actually goes through with this, then that sets up Obama being able to point the finger at them as the reason why there is no rebound in employment. That’s how Obama plans to escape the rising unemployment he claims to fix during this campaign. “The end of democracy comes when the ignorant and uninformed public believes that they can vote themselves more money at the expense of others”.

Planewizard: Don’t agree with you at all. Bush has been screwing this nation ever since he came into office. 911 was a travesty that hurt all American’s but for him to start a war in Iraq was the absolute worst way for him to fight the terrorists that attacked us. He helped their cause better then they helped themselves and gave them a place, in Iraq and the world, to expand their agenda to even greater degrees. The problems between Muslims and the Christians in this world were more political before Bush came along and it is becoming more, every day, a religious war. The economy during that time was working fine, for the rich and powerful, and for the middle class, jobs were being shipped overseas, class warfare was well underway against the middle-class, gas prices were rising, the elite rich got richer yet and trickle-down economics was heading towards a brick wall with deregulation giving it free rains to speed up faster towards that wall. Now we are still fighting an expensive, deadly war, our children’s, children’s, children will be paying for our economic debacle for many years to come and unemployment is rising and the middle-class is disappearing. So, are you better off now then you were 8 years ago? Has the neo-con policies of the Bush administration made you safer and respected by the world, and has the trickle-down economics benefited you and made you as rich as the top 1% of our population? No, I do not agree with you and that is why McCain cannot be put into office to continue any of Bushes old legacy. America needs hope and a change and Obama is the catalyst that will bring “all” Americans back together away from the divisiveness of the past 8 Rovian/Cheny/Bush years. You can stay where you are but the rest of us are moving on. Don’t worry, we won’t leave you out as Bush did with you and I for the benefit of his “special” friends. You too, will benefit what Obama and his administration will do for us all over the next eight years.

Anthony Michaels, I could tell by the very fear-mongering nature of the long post that you’d end up stating that McCain would be the better choice. Emphasis of fear = McCain supporter, that stereotype is getting totally reinforced here. Iran is a long way off producing anything that could cause us any significant harm. I guess you still don’t know which family links Hitler to Osama Bin Laden? – I’ll give you a clue, one of the sons in that family has found McCain a staunch ally and supporter.
Mp, the whole emphasis on “Socialism” has come about because Obama’s proposed rolling back tax-cuts from the wealthy and instead giving them to the middle-class that need the tax breaks more. ELIMINATING those tax-breaks would be a step towards socialism, what Obama is proposing is nothing of the sort.
Planewizard, even if you take Iraq out the equation you’ve got…
torture, habeus corpus suspended, geneva conventions ditched, domestic spying, Katrina/NO, pollution law changes for the worst, biggest drop in history of the stock market, highest bankruptcies in a 12 month period, took more time vacationing than any previous president, most foreclosures in a 12 month period, presided over the security failure that was 9/11, highest gas prices – refusing to use national reserves, cut healthcare for war vets, signed more laws ammending the constitution than anyone before him, disolved more international treaties than any president, the most secretive and unaccountable presidency in US history, largest government department bureaucracy (“small government” huh??), got us removed from the human rights commission and elections monitoring board, Removed more checks and balances, and have the least amount of congressional oversight than any presidential administration in U.S. history, Withdrew from the World Court of Law, First president in U.S. history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. elections), Fist U.S. president in history to have a majority of the people of Europe (71%) view his presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and stability, Changed US policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts, Failed to fulfill pledge to get Osama Bin Laden ‘dead or alive.’, prevented public investigation into 9/11 for 18 months, Removed more freedoms and civil liberties for Americans than any other president in U.S. history, Entered office with the strongest economy in U.S. history and in less than two years turned every single economic category heading straight down (even before Iraq).

Your a suppressed, controlled people (by big business) and you need to take your country back…..Hitler came to power the same fashion as Obama’s doing it. Rally the people behind you and get yourself elected to power. Hitler was a radical and so is Obama. He just wants control and power and we are dumb enough to give it to him I think the foreign countries are going to make a good joke and have a good laugh, same as they did with Clinton on this election. We give the keys to the Whitehouse to a person that has a Muslim background, has no record of getting anything accomplished, nobody has heard of him until a couple of years ago, has associated himself with shady people most of his life and has never run anything that has had a budget to it, but he’s a charismatic speaker with no substance. What a joke! On top of that promises a “pie in the sky for everybody” except that 5% at the top and our budget is so loaded with debt were basically bankrupt. 45% of the low income Americans don’t pay any taxes in and get a “low income tax credit check” of $4,500 a year and Obama is going to give them more yet. Wants to increase “foreign aid”, “food stamps”, “healthcare” “education” and “medicare”, but do that all with no tax increase. That’s a good laugh for anybody. So much for the stupid “Americans”. Are Americans really that stupid? I hear that sucking sound again that Ross Perot was talking about.

They haven’t done a thing for jobs, so cut all bull crap. All socialists. Not hard to figure it out. You want to trash you country for a”change”. You might not like the “change” you get, but your going to be stuck with it. Obama has already made it know he’s going to push the bill through that’s going to restrict what the news media can say. That’s one of our biggest “rights” that going to be gone, “Freedom of speech.” Your always worried about Bush’s invasion of Your “rights” and then you support a guy that wants to start taking one of our greatest “right” from us…..that is stupid.

MP: Here is a fun little scenerio for you: Here is my response to those businesses threatening to pass on higher taxes to the customers and laying off employees to maintain their profits. 
———————————————————————–
Dear Business owner,
 I am your competition down the road and will be taking on the employees that you no longer need.  I have seen a increase in my clients because I have chosen to not raise my prices and I need additional people with all the new work.  Some of these new clients used to be parked in front of your location.  A lot of clients have better jobs now and also have much higher spending power due to the reduced taxes .   I really appreciate your older Bush league business practices and hope that you continue with your policies.  I wish you the best under our new Obama administration and Democrat run government.  By the way, I paid a lot less taxes recently as my profits were under the $250,000.   But, of course, if profits do go above that mark, I will be glad to pay the extra 3% as it will be useful for the new health programs for my employees, help pay off the HUGE debt brought to us by the Bush administration, and help create more business opportunities for me with the new Green technologies.  I am also going to be using some of that new Green technology to lower my business expenses.  Buying this new technology will help the economy because of my demand for it and create even more jobs in that sector and then again provide more customers for my products who can now afford to buy my products at my lower prices compared to your higher prices.   Again good luck with your business.  I hope you will be OK with those older Reaganomics business practices that McCain was promising to uphold for you.  They never did work, did they.  Trickle-down economics proved impossible to achieve just like communism in its day.  Very Respectfully, Your competition.

So Seth; you say “pull out and do nothing?” I’m trying to understand…
Look, as young as America is, we’ve become a very powerfull nation. We’ve been in two world wars, and essentially won them. Both wars, we could’ve claimed an imperialistic control of land. Rather, we gave the countries back to the original populace, while establishing democracies.
Today, Germany & Japan are our greatest allies. In 1812 we probably could’ve sailed to England to fight there; but lets not go into revisionist history.
Bottom line is, America is not an Imperialistic country, so whatever we do in Iran in assisting the populace would be to create a democracy. They will get tired of being ruled by religious nuts. We’re not a perfect democracy, but I believe we strive to be.

This is not on a comment on either Mr. McCain or Dr. Obama (if he has a law degree, which I think has been proven, he is a JD).
Would ALL OF YOU send your comments JUST ONCE. It is most frustrating to see the exact same comment, sent either 6 in 6 minutes, or sometimes separated by an hour, or whatever – it means many views won’t be shared.
As to Senator McCain or Senator Obama:
I am terribly appalled by some of the thinks Sarah Palin has done as Gov. of Alaska, such as charging her daughters’ travels to the State of Alaska (to the tune of $20,000+ dollars, as well as hotel bills (4 nights, 5 days for a 4 hr. conference, at $700+ dollars a night, firing people with many years experience basically on her personal vendettas. I simple cannot vote for Senator McCain, becaue of the lack of sensibility she has shown. She doesn’t know even basics of foreign policy, and neither knowing how to field dress a moose or knowing how to model are prerequisites for being a VP or a President. Look at any other woman who is in high places in the world (Madeline Albright, Condollezza Rice, Hillary Clinton)…all with either Ph.D. or Law degrees. Let’s get real. Obama at least has the sense to know what he doesn’t know, and what with the backing he’s received from such people as Colin Powell, many newspapers, etc..
Let’s get moving forward again.
Please please, just sent a blog ONCE – that way more views can be read and thought about – though I’ve already decided to vote for, and since I’m doing it on an absentee ballot I will go vote right now!

The polls are all useless. The polls are done by landlines and most of the upper middle class and upper class (which happen to be mainly Republican) don’t use landlines anymore. I know many people who simply switched to cell phones and don’t have a landline phone. More than ever in history, the polls are meaningless. Regardless of who wins, it’s extremely annoying when the media starts making premature predictions on the election. It discourages people from voting, especially those in the West Coast waiting in long lines and then hear over the news declaring a winner. That’s what happened with the Bush/Gore election. Many people in the West Coast were waiting in line and left when people declared Bush the victor. We learn later that it was closer than they had thought. Shouldn’t this be illegal?

Seth- The FBI released that in a statement on a national press release. The FBI, Secret Service, CIA, INS, ATF, FEMA etc. could not by government standards due to previous associations. Released on September 14, 2008 at 1:49 EST. I’m required to keep up with them that’s how I know. It’s public fact that everyone should have paid attention to! His supporters chose not to.

Posted by: Jess | November 3, 2008, 12:32 am 12:32 am

PLEASE NOTE: I am an Obama supporter in the beginning, but I expect this race is tighter than you think.
I expect McCain will carry all the state (Florida, Missouri, Indiana, North Carolina, and may even be Virginia). When people go to the pole that will think of their historical affiliations.
Even those states where the race is within 5 points (Ohio, Pensylvania) may swim their way to McCain, so don’t count your chickens yet. NcCain may be around 260 delefates, and Obana around 278. So the western states (Nevada, Colorado, and New Mexico) are critical for Obama to come on top, even for his 278.
Just say, I said so.

NY times poll Obama up 10%. Read the fine print….660 people polled. What kind of a poll is that? Try AOL subscriber poll of 4-5 thousand registered members. Has McCain ahead in most states.

PolitiFact says that you’re wrong. First there was no statement, and second the FBI asks if you were involved in subversive activities, not if you’ve ever known or worked with anyone who might have been involved in them.

Posted by: Seth | November 3, 2008, 12:37 am 12:37 am

I like the looks of that:)
I think Obama and Biden will do more to unite the country and try to get along better with the rest of the world through common sense and reason. They will set the standard for others to look up to and follow. They are total opposites of McCain and Palin, which by the way Palin is already getting ready to run in 2012. Isn’t she a modest and humble person?
McCain and Palin using Joe the plumber as a spokesperson is kinda funny. When you run a crappy campaign who else could be better? It’s poetic…

Posted by: Redneck4Reason | November 3, 2008, 12:38 am 12:38 am

Seth- AP web just type it in the search engine. Also Howard Stern talked to Obama supporters on his satellite radio show. He listed off policies that were actually McCain’s and telling people they were Obama’s. People kept saying that that’s why they were voting for Obama when they actually agreed with McCain. That tells me that people aren’t paying attention. Yeah Howard Stern is a nut but he showed an excellent point there!!!!!!!!!!!

Jess: Was your degree a mail-order one? For you either you or Mp to believe your own hype speaks of some rather strange ways for dealing with your fears. To make some of the accusations you have made indicates some real inabilities to decipher fact from fiction. Let me ask you both a serious question, could either of you or even both of you together be able to have a legitimate conversations with Senator Obama and present such accusations directly to his face? Would you be able to back up your claims with facts and information to support your accusations? And now, can you back up any of those same accusations with real information for the rest of us as if you were having to give the same give and take conversation with Senator Obama? A simple question. But, can you do this, fairly, constructively, respectfully, and with the purpose of helping all American’s towards a greater end?

Obama is going to win 349 electoral votes. Basically he would successfully defend all Kerry states; and would take Virginia, Florida, Missouri, Ohio, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and Iowa.
I don’t see the prospect of an Obama landslide; though he might win North Carolina as well.

Jess and Seth: Mr Stern could have done the same thing with McCain supporters. So, what was the point. Making some people look like fools, seems the only point by many, such as yourself. The fact that you felt that this was a legitimate way to label Obama supporters interviewed by Mr. Stern makes you more the fool. Also do make note that McCain and Obama do no disagree on 100% of their ideas and might be slightly different with many others. We could ask these questions to supporters to both sides and make the same premise. Mr. Stern is, in my book, not the most reliable person in regards to ethics and morals. Good luck with your line of foolish reasoning. The fact that you admire Mr. Stern doesn’t define your own judgment much better.

Kerry states are solid. PA is most likely to flip, but that’s gonna be a real struggle for McCain and requires something huge on a national level.
Co will definitely go Obama, and I can see MT and ND following. VA is pretty solid and NC stands a good chance. IA is a given, and we’ll see about MO. NM and NV are pretty likely as well. OH looks decent. Florida is probably gonna go Obama too.
If they announce GA too close to call when polls close, it’s a landslide.

Republicans – go and sign up as a volunteer caller on Obama’s website. They will then give you a list of voters to call. Call those voters that you are given, but encourage them to vote for McCain. Then fill out the report that the voters are voting or have voted for Obama. The one thing that you must give to Barry is the organization. However, as a voter I sure don’t appreciate having my telephone, name, age, and gender pop up on a website that anyone can access.
Anyways, if you don’t want a liberal in command, go over to the website, sign up in mass numbers and frustrate those Obamamanias

I’m not so sure that a comparison with Carter is warranted. Of course only time will tell. I mean I could say McCain is another Bush or Nixon, but I think that denies the strong differences between them.
I know we disagree on a lot of issues, and you’re probably not confident that an Obama presidency will be fine. I’m not too worried.
I know the govt looks into background with job applicants, but I think the Ayers connection would be a non-issue. But you never know. I mean I’d think the Palin AIP thing shouldn’t disqualify her either. Or McCain’s friendship with Libby. Everyone knows someone who’s a little sketchy.

Whatever your claims of education states to me that you do not know how to research the information that your throw out here so brashly and do not know the requirements that any basic research paper or article requires. Back up what you are stating with real facts and figures supported by multible reliable non-biased sources and than be able to support your hypothesis with those real facts. The fact that you cannot support anything you have proposed this night shows that you have no education or a very poor one.

Jess,
That ‘baby-killer’ argument is inaccurate as well. There was already law in place that makes it a felony to not save the life of a baby born due to botched abortion.
Obama merely voted against the bill that would have granted “human rights” to a fetus at conception, a bill that existed merely to challenge Roe vs Wade, and would have been struck down as unconstitutional.
We’ve all been over this stuff a hundred times. If you believe strongly that life begins at conception and you strongly oppose Roe vs Wade, well then I can understand why you’d be reluctant to vote for a strong pro-choice candidate. But it’s a bit shady to try and portray the guy as some murderous fiend.

How does this liberal bias accusation relate to this ownership question.

Shamefully ABC continues to appropriate the word “news” regarding the heinously biased tripe they pass off as objective journalism. Only the vapidly obtuse fail to recognize the left wing bias of ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN. A societal renaissance is imaginable if at a minimum self-editing were encouraged among the electorate. Instead the best ABC has to offer are party-first shills like Stephanopoulos that from pure partisan pandering insult the insipid into voting. Absolute pornography. There is nothing patriotic or redeeming about any vote cast for Obama because he is black or for McCain because he is not black, but at least 30 million votes will be counted tomorrow for those two reasons only. ABC, et. al. make their living fostering, and our nation remains hostage to, this, among other, nauseating political absurdities. The pious ignorance of the loyal and intellectually void that drone on dismissing FOX, Rush and other opposing voices as anything less than the reasoned yang to the yin of ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN is beyond profoundly inane it is dangerously akin to the “Brownshirt” mental oneness of 1930′s Germany.
This American political system could not be more broken, it is an archaic manipulative salve more suited to selling soda to diabetics. Anyone so breathtakingly uninformed or inextricably implicated in promoting the election of a hardly disguised Marxist as POTUS is a criminal violation of any remedial rendition of history.
100,000,000+ died and countless lives muted in the exploitation of this stifling and bankrupt dogma.
The novelty is: once Hitler seized ubiquitous control he slaughtered many that helped elevate him, just like all good fascists, eliminate any powerful potentially opposing voice before it even germinates.

FLVoter, how much of your Aunt’s business do you know? Have they lived abroad? Do you keep in contact often….I have several aunts, and I couldn’t tell jack squat about their personal matters.
As for lies: Why does McCain and Palin insist on discussing Obama’s ties to “Khalidi”, but they do not discuss the money McCain gave “Khalidi’. If Palin and her first dude loved America so much, why were these separatists involved in AIP? When she is offered the VP slot, suddenlt she is a republican. Why has Palin not released her medical records…..does it take long to “doctor” them? As a journalism major, she does not even understand the constitution, let along supreme court cases or the names of newspapers that she reads. Yet she blames her utter ignorance on everyone else. She can even see Russia from her kitchen sink,
With $2000 plus dollars in makeup and a $150,000 wardrobe she is just a token and nothing else. A 5th grader knows more than she does. Perhaps you should get your head from “between your legs”, and you might be able to think clearly.

I have to get my car serviced and my cottage repaired. From 4th Nov. night onwards Obama would shut down all car making units and ban all auto imports. Likewise he would ban steel and cement sales in The US.
hahahahahahhaah…..
In Washington, he would declare the Socialist Republic of America. His immediate task in foreign policy would be the revival of Soviet Union.
hahahahahahhaha…..

If you have a point, make it. Back it up with reliable sources. Name-calling doesn’t prove a point, it diminishes it. And if you have a problem with mutual respect for your fellow human beings and American citizens, then you are a large part of the source of our country’s problems.

So ABC’s predictors lean to the right?
Does that include George Will? Matthew Dowd? Both Republicans. Both conservatives. Both predicting an Obama victory.
Maybe that’s just how they see it right now, regardless of their party. Do you want them to lie about their feelings just to help McCain? They may be Republicans, but that’s still asking too much.
Secondly, give it up about Ayers ghost-writing Obama’s book. Are you a parrot? You hear a talking point and run with it? You don’t bother to accept the fact that the person who wanted to fund an investigation gave up his effort when the expert told him the results would be made public no matter what results he found?
Third, so he wrote about conflicted racial feelings when he was 12…
Look at the facts. He had a white single mom. He looked African-American. He was probably getting crap from whites and blacks. So he was conflicted. Holy crap.
Why not be worried about the five planes McCain crashed BEFORE he was shot down. What about the aircraft carrier that burned, and the 162 Navy men who died as a result of his ‘mistake?’
Read. Read. Read. And read more than Drudge. Listen to more than Limbaugh and Hannity.
There’s a real world out there and it’s not as dire as you would like to believe.
Trust me. Obama is not Castro. We will not become Cuba.

It’s very appalling to read some of the comments made by Americans about their own “OBAMA”. Comments that can’t be made by even third world countries of their citizens.
No wonder the world now sees America as trailing than leading….
Let’s be true to ourselves, no-one was born and no amount of experience can prepare you enough to be president of America and certainly not being shot down and held hostage by enemies as heroic as that may be.
Bush has spent the most of his 8yrs bullying the world and McCain in his militaristic nature will definitely continue in the same way… he doesn’t believe in diplomacy, this we see clearly and we all know.
If McCain wins, he will definitely engage in more wars and every family in America will soon have someone in the battle field… maybe then some will claim a religion that doesn’t believe in war so as to be exempted.

November 4 is a national IQ test. The United States is teetering on the verge of international irrelevance, first economically, and consequently, militarily. The only way to preserve this country is to adapt to the demands of the 21st century, beginning with acknowledging that technology and globalization are making our physical differences and borders less relevant. We are one people, no matter how one slices it. It the United States is not prepared to accept this and vote for the most intelligent candidate who understands this, the deafening silence on Nov 5th will be the sound of the rest of world standing with its jaw dropped to the floor while the U.S. swings and misses a third and last time.

“So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. It’s just that it will bankrupt them, because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted,” he said. In the same interview, the senator said that “if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it.” That is what Obama told the Chronicle. Hmmm. Clean Coal. Isn’t that every fourth word coming out of Mccain and Palin’s mouth in their energy stump speeches???? Stop twisting the truth and scaring folks Fox. Ain’t going to work this time.

This isn’t about politics folks.

Chattyway – watching a video and purporting to interpret it to others requires more than selecting 1/2 the words and reassembling them into a convenient political jab. It requires thoughtful analysis…and an open mind doesn’t hurt. Senator Obama is saying that any “new” coal plants that do not use clean coal technology are going to pollute. If the U.S. ever signs an international treaty on pollution, that company becomes a liability and will likely be punished for their own stupidity. He said “if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it”. He is not going to purposely bankrupt anyone. The only ones who have purposely bankrupted Americans are the greedy CEO’s who want Senator McCain to retain their Bush imposed tax cuts.

Gov Palin spent the evening trying to convince Marietta, Ohio that the San Francisco chronicle was “hiding” this interview with Senator Obama. It’s been publicly available for 9 months. That is a fact. The only thing “new” about this is that it is the latest lame attempt of Bible Spice to invoke fear among innocent believers. What has been hiding is an original, constructive idea from the GOP ticket…well, that and Sarah Palin’s medical records. Oh, by the way, it’s NOVEMBER. Good night everyone.

Obama could very well be America’s best, last chance to get things right. McCain has by now, probably started having second thoughts about what he has gotten himself into. He could “squeak” by and win but for what?
With the House and Senate totally against him, what is he going to accomplish? If something happens to him, Palin moves into the oval office and Pelosi steps up to be VP. That thought surely is giving him nightmares. Hopefully, Obama will get the 270 votes he needs to win. I’m confident he will. I want him to get far more than that though. A mandate for change this country needs.

Posted by: chester burns | November 3, 2008, 5:50 am 5:50 am

Chattyway,
About that tape that has Obama saying he’ll bankrupt coal? You know, the one that everybody is saying they’ve heard, the one with Obama’s own voice speaking the words? Guess what?
From the San Francisco paper that owns the tape that Palin heard…
The following is from http://www.political carnival.com
“It’s not true.”
But the Drudge Report, the Republican National Committee and apparently even GOP VP candidate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin fell for completely fabricated news from a shady website called Newsbusters today suggesting the San Francisco Chronicle has ”hidden” audio with Sen. Barack Obama regarding his statements on coal.
”Barack Obama explained his plan to the San Francisco Chronicle this year,” she told a rally in Ohio Sunday. ”He said that sure, if the industry wants to build coal-fired power plants, then they can go ahead and try, he says, but they can do it only in a way that will bankrupt the coal industry.”
She added, ”And you’ve got to listen to the tape.”
”Why is the audiotape just now surfacing?” Palin asked the crowd, according to a report from CBS News. Someone in the crowd shouted, ”Liberal media!’
Let’s be very clear: the Chronicle did not, and has never, hidden any interview, audio or video, of Obama from its readers.
The truth: the paper’s January editorial board session with Obama included comments about coal. The entire interview has been in the public domain, available on line to the public — and to the McCain campaign — since early January.
”How can anyone suggest that we hid an interview that we did, immediately put up on the web — and advertised to our readers,” said editorial page editor John Diaz Sunday, regarding his hosting of Obama at the session. ”We promoted it like like hell…and I’m sure the Clinton campaign and the McCain campaign scrubbed it. You can still find the whole 48 minutes and 33 seconds on line.”
Can’t get clearer than that.
A final note: the shoddy Newsbusters blog has been caught in the past simply fabricating news regarding the Chronicle’s coverage. Our paper has demanded corrections for their fiction, but to no avail.
We contacted Bill Riggs, regional press secretary of the Republican National Committee tonight on his emailing of this erroneous report suggesting a ”hidden” Chronicle audiotape to political reporters. His response: he didn’t confirm it, or write the headline. He just sent it out.
He got taken. And so did the rest.

I’m not a Christian but I’ve read a fair part of the Bible. I’ve read other religious text from different parts of the world. Some speak of one who will come to “deliver” us. He will supposedly come after the evil one. The “anti-Christ” he is called by Christians.
The Anti-Christ is suppose to be a charismatic person with strong powers of persuasion. He will gain control of one nation, then the world.
I never believed in this garbage until I saw the reaction many people have to Sen. Obama. It’s not like they’re voting for a candidate or a change in government. They’re following a charismatic leader much like Evangelical Christians.
Obama seems a man of all people telling each one exactly what they want to hear. I admit that I was moved by a couple of his speeches until I looked at his record. He is persuasive.
Scary stuff, and Halloween is suppose to be over.

BuckBass: You don’t really spread Fear. You are a FearMonger. It isn’t the same thing. A person actually spreading fear has some power. You just have sickening ignorance. A lot of people do. This election is a referendum – are the ignorant, racist, intolerant Fearmongers still pulling the strings in this country or not? It’s time to get the answer to that question. Because America cannot move forward in the world until she knows. That’s what this election is about. That’s why it is historic. Obama is the best candidate. He has the policies, the energy and he inspires enthusiasm at a time of falling hope. He should be further ahead in the polls than he is. But we have a lot of arrogant, ignorant people in this country. They are dead weight, pulling us backwards. It’s time to do a head count. And that time comes to a close, tomorrow. I want Obama to win, but I don’t assume anything. I’ll wait and see. One thing I do know, any country that is ‘ruled’ by a majority comprising the sort of ignorance you display?

The only ignorance being displayed here is yours. It appears that you believe wholeheartedly in the nonsense being put out by the Republican Party and Fox News. Obama is already uniting the country to work against the disaster that was the Bush/Cheney administration. Many people in this country are sick and tired of the tactics of the right wing religious fanatics who have hijacked the GOP and used hate, fear and just plain lies to get and keep power and to make sure that corporations and banks can screw the American middle class with impunity. You are a dinosaur and you can rant and rave and call people names all you like your day has past. So disappear back into the woods and take your ignorant racist right wing religious fanatic ranting with you. It is so sad that you are filled with so much hate and fear of a man who will do more good for this country than four more years of failed policies will do under McCain/Palin. I pity you and your backwards thinking.

If Obama wins and doesn’t keep his campaign promises and turns this nation into a socialist wasteland it will be your fault. Take my advise, since Obama is so far ahead, don’t vote – there is no need to.

What is Obama appoints gays and lesbos to government positions? What if he has rap music at his celebration and does a break dance. We’re screwed if he wins, but he won’t because there will be massive turnout against him. This will be the greatest upset of the century, mark my words you liberals.

Bubba Freewack yuor ilk needs to get some education and become human. You make me sick. Obama is just a good man and he will make our country better. Wake up Freewack and quit drinking the Limbaugh koolaid.

Just listen to all these opinions. I call this freedom. However, I draw the line at the lack of intelligence regarding those who will vote republican. McCain is 73 years old. I don’t give a hoot if was a POW. That just tells me that he is bitter and that is the way he will lead this country. Where his unintelligence comes in is selecting Sarah Palin as a running mate. Talk about inexperience. As far as republicans go, there will never be another Ronald Reagan. Unfortunately the Bush family has seen to the Republican Party’s demise. McCain is too old, too desparate and obiviously sees woman as second to man. Intelligent woman recognize the need for change. Golly Gee woman side with Barbie Doll symantics. Luckily I am a man who has faith in intelligent woman. Woman deserve to make the same income as a man for doing the same job. How hard is that. Obama will be the man who will lead this country back to its once uncomparible status. Liberal thinking is intelligent. Conservative thinking mixes religion with politics and we have proven that that does not work. We as Americans need to think for ourselves and not be swayed by those who call themselves “Cristians” Notice the quotes folks. I believe in true Christianity when it shows unconditional love for humankind. I see that kind of compassion in Barrack Obama and his family. Can you honestly say you see that in John McCain and his unexpressive wife? Get out and vote America and vote Obama. America needs freshness and a leader who will breath a breath of fresh air back into the people that make this country the best that there is.

This letter is so well written, it may even make some of his supporters think twice; or maybe not. Nonetheless it has 7 remarkably great questions to the type of man he is. I don’t know who Mark Gregg is but I am so glad this eloquent letter is circulating…..please help keep it going.
Dear Mr. Obama,
It is August 30, 2008. My name is Mark Gregg. I am a 50 something conservative white male. I have followed your campaign closely, including the speeches you and others made at the democratic national convention. I am respectfully providing you with seven simple (probably shallow) reasons why I could never vote for you. I believe my opinion is shared by many people. While there may not be quite enough to prevent you from becoming president of this nation, I do think there is an awakening to the fact that you are not a (the) messiah that the media and liberal Hollywood entertainers are trying to portray you.
1. I hear your mantra of change, change, change. Yet, you picked a long term, liberal, Washington insider (Joe Biden) to be your running mate. This is NOT change. It is a move that hypocritically refutes the very thing you supposedly stand for. Your campaign then slammed McCain for picking Sarah Palin, apparently, because she is NOT a Washington insider. She is a maverick who cleaned-up Alaska ‘s quagmire of political scandals. Which way is it, Barack? Is it okay for you to pick a Washington insider under the mantra of ‘change’, but not okay for John McCain to pick a smart, aggressive, reformer?
2. You have the single most liberal voting record in the senate. This indicates to me and others like me that you may very well be an angry black man seeking to punish our country for sins of a different generation. I am not racist. I have some biases just like you and every other human alive. Unlike the democratic party who claims to be for the minority (but their record heavily refutes this), I will give any person who truly needs help, help. I married a ‘minority’ girl 35 years ago (she is Hispanic) and have seen the evils of prejudice first hand. However, I have also seen my wife and my children and others in her family throw off the veil of self imposed prejudicial bondage and move ahead. They love our country and do not view themselves any different than I view myself as a citizen of this country. Your lovely wife so disappointed people like me during this campaign when s! he stated it was the first time she had ever been proud of this country. She apparently never noticed the massive aid we give dozens of other countries. She apparently never noticed the sacrifice of literally millions of veterans who helped make this country a free nation and helped liberate other nations from brutal dictators such as Adolf Hitler. She apparently does not remember that she attended ivy league universities with scholarship money that ultimately (at least some of it) was paid for by our taxes. This troubles me more than you know. She is an angry black woman who appears to not like her country very much. I don’t want her representing me to the rest of the world.
3. You claim Christianity but apparently do not realize that the Bible teaches that he who does not work, does not eat. The Bible does not say or even suggest that he who CANNOT work, should not eat. Yet, your liberal policies reward people who are capable of working, but choose to not do so. This bothers me. I know that if you are elected our taxes will spiral upwards. You should heed the words of Winston Churchill: ‘We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.’ If I like anything about you, it is your campaign promise to balance the federal budget. Unfortunately, we have heard this a huge number of times from a number of different politicians and we realize that when you energize the very liberal Nancy Pelosi, Robert Byrd, Ted Kennedy, etc, etc, and the many other democr! ats like them, a balanced budget will never, ever happen on your watch.
4. During your question and answer session with Rick Warren of Saddleback Church your answer concerning the question of where does life begin, stunned me: ‘Above your pay grade?’ Does this mean when something bad happens as President of this nation that you are going to look at your salary to determine if you can respond? I am sorry, but this was the most serious gaffe I have seen you make. Frankly, it shows me that you are pandering in the most obvious manner. You will choose your words not from your heart, but from an agenda that I believe is still hidden from the American people.
5. If anything stands out about you it is probably your appeasement mentality. In this era of rampant, radical Islamic extremism and with the latest stunt pulled by the re-energized Russian government, I am not sure appeasement is healthy. I again revert to the words of Winston Churchill: ‘An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.’
6. You and your party tacitly believe that a 13 or 14 year old girl must have the parents approval to have the school nurse provide them with a Tylenol when they have a headache at school. Yet, this same girl can become pregnant and the school can skirt her off to a clinic and abort the child in her body without the parents knowing or being notified. This scares the hell out of me. You have two little girls. Would you be upset if this happened to them and you were not informed? Then why do you stand for this? It makes no sense to me.
7. My seventh and final point (for now) is your supporters. I have watched the Hollywood entertainers that support you, systematically embrace Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and others like him. I see the continuous smut and garbage produced by Hollywood , the very people who promote you the most vigorously. It is not a positive point to me and others like me to see these over-paid, bizarre, poor examples of human existence fawn over you and push you and your liberal agenda as hard as they do. The way I see it; When the devil is for you, we should question whether or not we should be against you.
In closing, I just want you to know that you scare me. I cannot vote for you. It is not because of your skin color. It is because these items I’ve listed and many, many others like them. Do not claim that my dislike for you is race based. It is because I do not feel you have the best interests of this nation at heart.
Respectfully,
Mark A. Gregg

GOD FORBID OBAMA IS ELECTED TOMORROW!!! WITHIN 2 WEEKS THE COUNTRY WILL FALL INTO A PANIC. YOU WILL HAVE ONLY YOURSELF TO BLAME AS YOU VOTED FOR A PHONY AND SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE ENEMY!!! HE IS ALREADY TELLING HIS ADVISORS TO DUMB DOWN HIS PROMISES SO HIS JIM-JONES KOOL AID DRINKING BLIND ROBOT LIKE SUPPORTERS DONT GET UPSET AFTER THE ELECTIONS. FOR SOME IT WILL ONLY TAKE DISASTER TO OPEN THEIR EYES!!! AVERT DISASTER NOW!!!! You have got to understand if Obama is elected he will be sort of like Fidel Castro. If no one in the USA is allowed to be rich we will ALL be poor just like in Cuba where no one can afford a new car anymore never mind a new house. He also used cocaine in his 20′s would you hire him if he said that in a job interview? If foreign investors like China and other countries see him as the ‘tax man’ they will no longer invest in America and start investing where its cheaper and more lucrative for them. When the war ends not only the soldiers will be out of work, but all the companies that supply the military will also have massive layoffs thereby hurting the economy even worse. THE COUNTRY IS AT WAR!!! THE WAR IS KEEPING THE USA ALIVE ECONOMICALLY. It employs millions and millions of workers. It generates trillions of dollars for our current economy. Its why we arent in a depression yet! Also the Dems and Barney Frank want to cut military spending by as much as 25% (but not end the war) so this would leave our troops leaving them in harms way these cuts mean they dont get the extra armor for vehicles or body armor etc. For our troops to be outgunned and under armored means we lose the war! America needs to be ready to win the war we are in and any future war. I dont see Obama as a war time leader he is more of a Jimmy Carter. I like the Halloween candy analogy ‘redistribution of wealth’ means one kid go’s out and gets all the candy but has to SHARE all the candy with his brothers and sisters (leaving him not so rich). I dont want to live in the “United States of Cuba” ask any Cuban what its like to live under Castro. Also Obama lies! He even lied about his own Aunt. If he doesnt know about his own Aunt do you want him in charge of national securty???Vote McCain!!! Do you think the terrorists and Islamic Fundamentalists we are at war with will ever surrender?? They have been at war with each other for centuries!! Your childrens and their childrens future hinges on your vote. Vote for a safe USA and world! Vote McCain!

Simply Stated republica_paulie. However it is just alot of empty words. It is very easy to talk, but another to prove. You cannot back up one word you have said. If republicans had kept their noses out of the middle east to begin with and not put oil before ethics, then we would not have been in the position we are in now and the twin towers would have still been standing in New York. So think twice before standing behind McCain who is nothing less then a bitter old war monger who will lead the US further into dispair.

“You are clearly dumb as a box of rocks. The whole write in a black candidate thing is laughable. I could care less if Obama is black, white, purple or green. I am not voting for McCain because of Obama’s skin color. Obama is simply a completely unqualified, radical who wants to move this country in a socialist direction.”
As opposed to Palin, who wants Alaska to SECEDE from the union, removing one star from the flag (to say nothing about eliminating the ability to drill in ANWR)?!?
” Socialism does not work and has never worked anywhere. A fact that all of the left leaning lemmings in this blog simply don’t even get. If you want to live in a French style socialism or worse, go live there. It is already in place, repleat with (on average over the past 40 years) two to three times the unemployment rate here and 50% of the population on government assistance.”
If you are going to accuse me of being “dumb as a box of rocks,” it would help if you knew how to spell “replete.”
“If you could stick to the real issues instead of getting so stuck on race, it would be a breath of fresh air.”
So stuck on race? You effectively adopted the argument that 90% of blacks voting for Obama is race based. I gave race neutral arguments as to why that is not true.
“Your attempts to paint me into some racist box are just stupid. What part of ‘go argue with someone else’ over your shallow (skin deep) arguments do you not get? That was the point in telling you your argument was weak, not to spend the next couple of hours with you beating the same drum.”
All of this and 12 hours later, you still haven’t named ONE (1) black candidate you have supported in any political race.
The filibuster continues.
Pathetic and typically conservative.

This uneducated liberal has never looked at a county map to see how her “blue” states break down.
My state is listed in her list. We have 32 blue counties and 30 red counties.
If this dumb liberal thinks she is just going to form her own country with the landmass that is red within her listed states, I say go ahead and try. I welcome your attempt.

“Educate yourselves?” You must think I’m a racist redneck since I won’t be voting for BHO. Only problem for you is that it has nothing to do with his skin color. More due to his bad judgments and radical agenda.”
So wanting Alaska to SECEDE from the United States is NOT a radical agenda?!? Going around the country saying some parts of the country are more American than others is NOT radical?!? Going on television and talking about exercising powers as Vice President not constitutionally granted to the VP is NOT radical?!?
Say you disagree with Obama’s policies. But don’t play the radical card.

Go back to my original post.
Tell me what part of telling conservatives to heed THEIR OWN advice in dealing with the “minor inconvenience” of racism is, in itself, racist-either expressly or tacitly?
If racism is, in fact, minor, and can be dealt with easily, what’s wrong with telling conservates to deal with it, if they are capable of doing so?

It’s amazing to me that all the republicans I know who have been so mightily thumping their chests for the past 8 years have turned into whiny crybabies!
Moderates who were waiting for McCain to choose someone who would actually know something – about the US, history, and the world we actually live in versus the world they’d like us to live in – were all crazily looking at each other after the Palin announcement.
In my view, poor McCain seems to have suffered more brain damage from his years at the Hanoi Hilton than we know. Why not Romney? Because McCain isn’t a maverick, he’s dumb and his choice for VP just confirmed it.
Y’all can just start cryin’ now – oh woe is me – a crazy dem is in the white house and oh my god he’s black too – what are we to do….
I have a suggestion, join up and go fight – you even have a choice of where to go – Pakistan – Afghanistan – Iraq – AND coming soon Iran.

Judging by the overall lack of literacy evident in these blogs, most especially the right wing ones, one of President Obama’s first priorities should be to improve the country’s educational standards. It won’t help many of the dimwits posting here here today, but at least your children may end up being a bit more literate. They may also get enough education to understand the differences between welfare capitalism and socialism. With a better education, some of them might even earn so much money that they’ll be in a higher tax bracket and be too busy enjoying the good life to waste time posting looney blogs on the internet.

It is an indisputable fact that George Bush has lead this country to the brink of disaster, but if you look at the big picture the real blame lies with the factions of big oil and big business, these are the people that have lead George Bush.
John McCain is not a bad man, but if John is elected president he will have no choice other than to be lead by those same factions.
Sarah Palin was carefully selected, not by John McCain but by the ruling parties of this country. She is a gold fish that has been thrown into a tank of sharks and she will be willing to do whatever she is told or be eaten alive.
People close to John McCain say that the John McCain of today is not the John McCain they have known, of course not, the words John utters today are not John’s words, they are the words that John is told to say which are intended to divide the people of this country. Once our people are pitted one against the other we are an easy target for those that wish to rule this country. I am sure John’s intentions are good, why would he want to destroy this country, I just believe John is being mislead and misguided and will have no control if elected president.
The ways and means to control the people of this country could not have been better scripted by Osama Bin Laden.

MyJewel- No one has to look for a excuse not to vote for obama they have to look real hard for a reason to vote for he. Most have stopped looking and just said oh well the news says he is going to win so I will vote for the winner. Sad state for America. But only 4 years and we will kick the chosen one out that is if the country last that long. It looks real bad for American right now, our leadership in the last 8 years has been poor except in one area national security. But the next 4 is not going to be leadership in will be voild of any thing except take your money and give it to the poor, which will do noting but increase the sales of crack.

If Obama wins, it looks like a lot of people think that something dramatic is going to happen. There will be the usual parties in D.C. The usual words and speeches, etc.,etc.,etc.
As time goes on, it will be business as usual. There will be a tremendous letdown for a whole lot of people who expected miracles. Guess what? You still have to go to work each day and take care of business as usual.
If you get some money from Uncle Sam, it won’t be enough to really do anything with it. Maybe you could pay a few little bills or have a good weekend.
That’s it. What did you expect?
So, some will celebrate; some will be down in the dumps. Take heart. Four years will fly by and another election will be here before you know it.
In just two years, there will be another
bunch who will go around the country asking for your support. Let the games begin.
As for me, I pursue my own happiness.

Republicans have come out in full force. From this historic election, we can see the “real Republican”. Blame, Attack, Distort… This explains why many countries in the World do not like America! Republicans have misled America for 8 years, and they are trying shamelessly in this election again. Republican is best with “Attack”. That’s why they love “Wars” and “Guns”.

Obama is simply taking advantage of poor and middle class income people because they are looking for a quick fix solution-and will believe any sheep in wolf’s clothing when it is not possible. He is basically playing on their situation and our economy to become elected as president. It amazes me how little people know about his background yet believe every purchased word that comes out of his mouth. He brings new life to the meaning “Money Talks”.

It’s going to come down to this:
“Suppose you’re a voter, and you’ve got candidate X and candidate Y. Candidate X agrees with you on everything, but you don’t think that candidate can deliver on anything at all. Candidate Y you agree with on about half the issues, but he can deliver. Which candidate are you going to vote for?”

Dude, you are truly a nutjob. You are embracing a 1984-Big Brother approach to the economy: stay at war to keep the economy going. While I’ve never served in the armed forces, I’m sure you haven’t either. I can’t imagine deciding to keep a war going, which kills thousands of people, just so Americans can afford to buy new cars. You’re just sick.

My prediction is 338 for Obama. McCain will keep Montana and North Dakota, but Obama takes Florida and Ohio.
The reality is Obama has several paths to the win, McCain’s is very limited. His politics of hatred and divisivness have caught up with him. Where is the John McCain of 2000? A man like McCain should know it’s better to lose with honor than win in disgrace. He’s forgotten that!

When would George S and the rest of the ABC robots realize that they have KILLED what was left of journalism in this great country of ours? Who gave them the authority to decide the outcome of the elections for us??? The liberal media allowed Hussein to crush Hillary in the primaries and they are trying to do the same with McCain. The public has had enough of this constant diet of fawning over Hussein by every print and network media in this country except FOX News. George S, and the entire ABC News, you have lost so many viewers for life and I am happy to say I am one of those. Fox News is the only worthwhile news agency left. The media has suppressed reporting anything questionable about Hussein; it’s become worst than what happens in dictatorships and third world countries. No matter what happens tomorrow, the only loser for the past 23 months is the media……….you’ve killed journalism and eaten your young. Let’s VOTE McCAIN and show the media how wrong they are!

Infidel, you are truly a pathetic person, if you knew anything about people who are bi-racial you would know that most of them struggle with their identity. Most of them feel torn between two races, two identitys, this is what Barack was speaking about in his book about this struggle to identify himself in a world that makes such an issue of black and white a world that can make it so difficult for a bi-racial person to feel they belong on either side. Only a moron like you would try to turn a persons honest reflection of this struggle into somehting racist. Truly pathetic, however tomorrow will be a happy day for this wonderful melting pot called the United States and a sad day for people like you!

Hey, Infidel…yes, McBush spent several years in a POW camp in Viet Nam. Want to know what he was doing? He was spilling his guts to the Viet Cong to save his sorry butt. He disclosed secret military information to the Viet Cong about his naval ship and squadron. He was not a war hero, he was a TRAITOR. No one will ever know how many brave Americans were killed because of this disclosure. And, on top of this he admitts doing it in his book “Faith of My Fathers”. He even called himself a “black criminal” because of his conduct as a military officer. This is the last person we should elect as our President. McBush
has skated through life on the reputation of his family and the money
of his wife.

Calling me a racist is just making excuses for issues and records causing me to vote for McCain. McCain is left of the right extreme and Obama IS the radical left extreme. … McCain supports the Constitution in it’s entirety, Obama prefers to ignore or circumvent parts he doesn’t like. … McCain has the military experience to listen to commanders. Obama is immature enough to think he knows more than trained, experienced military officers. … McCain wants to reduce corporate taxes to the levels of most other industrialized nations in order to encourage companies to remain in the US. Obama wants to raise taxes on people making more than $300,000 per year, then $250,000, then $150,000, then $120,000. I haven’t heard where the figure is today. By the inauguration day it’ll probably be around $50,000. … McCain supports offshore drilling, nuclear and wind generation, solar and clean coal research as well as hydrogen research. Obama admits that he has no energy plan but has opposed drilling within 50 miles of the coast (where the oil can be drilled easier). He opposed nuclear energy and clean coal research. He remained silent when his friend and mentor Ted Kennedy shut down a wind generation project. … McCain proposed ways to close our borders, Obama supports Nafta and open borders. That’s enough to cause me to vote for McCain without getting into Wright, Ayers and all the others

I’ll tell you one thing for sure. If business isn’t making money, your not going to be working, simple as that. Is it really that hard to understand. Did you not take any economics in school or what? You people on the left can wine about greed and I’m sure there’s a lot of greed out there in both parties. I’m one of the UAW along with more than 50% of UAW members that figured it out that the Dimocratic party is only out for their own agenda and that has been the same agenda of Obama, the Clintons, Pelosi and the rest. They haven’t done a thing for jobs, so cut all bull crap. All socialists. Not hard to figure it out. You want to trash you country for a”change”. You might not like the “change” you get, but your going to be stuck with it. Obama has already made it know he’s going to push the bill through that’s going to restrict what the news media can say. That’s one of our biggest “rights” that going to be gone, “Freedom of speech.” Your always worried about Bush’s invasion of Your “rights” and then you support a guy that wants to start taking one of our greatest “right” from us…..that is stupid. Your so disillusioned you’d vote for Mickey Mouse for president and that’s about what Obama is.

Posted by: Mp | November 3, 2008, 1:16 pm 1:16 pm

This guy makes one of the best points ever:
Dear Friends, A few months ago I was asked for my perspective on Obama, I sent out an email with a few points. With the election just around the corner I decided to complete my perspective. Those of you on my e-list have seen some of this before but it’s worth repeating…
First I must say whoever wins the election will have my prayer support. Obama needs to be commended for his accomplishments but I need to explain why I will not be voting for him.
Many of my friends process their identity through their blackness. I process my identity through Christ. Being a Christian (a Christ follower) means He leads I follow. I can’t dictate the terms He does because He is the leader.
I can’t vote black because I am black; I have to vote Christian because that’s who I am. Christian first, black second. Neither should anyone from the other ethnic groups vote because of ethnicity. 200 years from now I won’t be asked if I was black or white. I will be asked if I knew Jesus and accepted Him as Lord and Savior.
In an election there are many issues to consider but when a society gets abortion, same-sex marriage, embryonic stem-cell research, human cloning to name a few, wrong economic concerns will soon not matter.
We need to follow Martin Luther King’s words, don’t judge someone by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I don’t know Obama so all I can go off is his voting record. His voting record earned him the title of the most liberal senator in the US Senate in 2007.
NATIONAL JOURNAL: Obama: Most Liberal Senator in 2007 (01/31/2008)
To beat Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton as the most liberal senator, Clinton as the most liberal senator, takes some doing. Obama accomplished this feat in 2 short years. I wonder what would happen to America if he had four years to work with.
There is a reason Planned Parenthood gives him a 100% rating. There is a reason the homosexual community supports him. There is a reason Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Castro, Hamas etc. love him. There is a reason he said he would nominate liberal judges to the Supreme Court. There is a reason he voted against the infanticide bill. There is a reason he voted No on the constitutional ban of same-sex marriage. There is a reason he voted No on banning partial birth abortion. There is a reason he voted No on confirming Justices Roberts and Alito. These two judges are conservatives and they have since overturned partial birth abortion. The same practice Obama wanted to continue.
The 5 Step Partial Birth Abortion procedures:
A. Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby’s leg with forceps. (Remember this is a live baby)
B. The baby’s leg is pulled out into the birth canal.
C. The abortionist delivers the baby’s entire body, except for the head.
D. The abortionist jams scissors into the baby’s skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole.
E. The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child’s brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.
God help him. There is a reason Obama opposed the parental notification law.
Think about this: You can’t give a kid an aspirin without parental notification but that same kid can have an abortion without parental notification. This is insane.
There is a reason he went to Jeremiah Wright’s church for 20 years.
Obama tells us he has good judgment but he sat under Jeremiah Wright teaching for 20 years. Now he is condemning Wright’s sermons. I wonder why now?
Obama said Jeremiah Wright led him to the Lord and discipled him. A disciple is one in training. Jesus told us in Matthew 28:19 – 20 “Go and make disciples of all nations.”
This means reproduce yourself. Teach people to think like you, walk like you; talk like you believe what you believe etc. The question I have is what did Jeremiah Wright teach him?
Would you support a White President who went to a church which has tenets that said they have a …
1. Commitment to the White Community
2. Commitment to the White Family
3. Adherence to the White Work Ethic
4. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the White Community.
5. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting White Institutions
6. Pledge allegiance to all White leadership who espouse and embrace the White Value System
7. Personal commitment to embracement of the White Value System.
Would you support a President who went to a church like that?
Just change the word from white to black and you have the tenets of Obama’s former church. If President Bush was a member of a church like this, he would be called a
racist. Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton would have been marching outside.
This kind of church is a racist church. Obama did not wake up after 20 years and just discovered he went to a racist church. The church can’t be about race. Jesus did not come for any particular race. He came for the whole world.
A church can’t have a value system based on race. The churches value system has to be based on biblical mandate. It does not matter if it is a white church or a black church it’s still wrong. Anyone from either race that attends a church like this would never get my vote.
Obama’s former Pastor Jeremiah Wright is a disciple of liberal theologian James Cone, author of the 1970 book A Black Theology of Liberation. Cone once wrote: “Black
theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him.
Cone is the man Obama’s mentor looks up to. Does Obama believe this?
So what does all this mean for the nation?
In the past when the Lord brought someone with the beliefs of Obama to lead a nation it meant one thing – judgment.
Read 1 Samuel 8 when Israel asked for a king. First God says in 1 Samuel 1:9 “Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do.”
Then God says
1 Samuel 1:18 ” When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day.” 19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We want a king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.” 21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the LORD. 22 The LORD answered, “Listen to them and give them a king.”
Here is what we know for sure.
God is not schizophrenic
He would not tell one person to vote for Obama and one to vote for McCain. As the scripture says, a city divided against itself cannot stand, so obviously many people are not hearing from God.
Maybe I am the one not hearing but I know God does not change and Obama contradicts many things I read in scripture so I doubt it.
For all my friends who are voting for Obama can you really look God in the face and say; Father based on your word, I am voting for Obama even though I know he will continue the genocidal practice of partial birth abortion. He might have to nominate three or four Supreme Court justices, and I am sure he will be nominating liberal judges who will be making laws that are against you. I also know he will continue to push for homosexual rights, even though you destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for this. I know I can look the other way because of the economy.
I could not see Jesus agreeing with many of Obama’s positions. Finally I have two questions for all my liberal friends.
Since we know someone’s value system has to be placed on the nation,
1. Whose value system should be placed on the nation.
2. Who should determine that this is the right value system for the nation?
Blessings, Huntley Brown

Until you get “FAIR” trade that McCain wants, this country is going to continue to sink to the bottom. Obama has not said a thing about “FAIR” trade. Fair trade would offset the cheap imports that are killing the jobs here. We can’t compete without “fair trade” and only McCain has a plan for “fair trade”. We buy everything imported and now have to borrow the same money back to keep our country going…how stupid is that. Obama’s socialist policy is not going to bring anything back. Are you people really that stupid?

Posted by: Mp | November 3, 2008, 1:24 pm 1:24 pm

Win, lose or draw, I’m casting my vote for McCain/Palin in a state that won’t possibly go for McCain.
My only real regret is that those of us that support McCain get labeled racist and we’ve been told if our candidate wins, the blood will flow. The media has decided in advance that Obama can only lose if the republicans cheat. They say this while ACORN gets caught playing around with thousands of fake registrations. Yet, if McCain wins, the election will have been “stolen” and race riots will ensue.
Polls should be made illegal, it’s the votes and the votes alone that count. The polls are manipulated to try and suggest that an election is over before it begins.

I do question how one can sit there and take this venom and yet be so close as to call his pastor his spiritual mentor. I believe Obama has been influenced by his fraternity of friends and doubts the integrity and foundation of our western civilization principles and Constitution. He will undermine these principles by demonizing capitalism, increasing dependency on government and therefore erode individual liberties and self-initiative. Government will become our savior – sad, very sad. We have come full circle since 1776.

Posted by: Mp | November 3, 2008, 1:44 pm 1:44 pm

Now Obama has changed his tax plan and says if you’re not working your not going to get any tax money (welfare) help on mortgages. Says the 10% deduction on mortgage interest for taxpayers who don’t itemize would carry a “work requirement.” Which means, if your laid off your NOT GOING TO GET ANY HELP with you mortgage. Yeah! The real Obama. What’s the next thing he’s going to change when he gets into office?

Posted by: Mp | November 3, 2008, 1:48 pm 1:48 pm

When President Obama turns out to be neither a savior, nor the socialist/Marxist/terrorist/AntiChrist, but rather a moderate Democrat not unlike Bill Clinton,what are the right wing haters going to say? My prediction: they will claim their prayers kept Obama from destroying the country in order to give the US a chance to repent and elect President Palin.

You naysayers against Obama need to see what he actually does once in office. If he can turn the economy around, you will all have to eat your own words. If not, then we are all free to vote him out in 4 years. It’s sad that many were stupid enough to vote for Bush 4 years ago. Using the war as the lame reason did not help anyone. The economy only grew worse and Bush will always use the war and 9/11 as the reason his administration went down in history as one of the worst. But it can’t all be blamed on 9/11 or the war. He did no favors for our economy and he knows little about how the average working class person lives their lives. That is something that I hope Obama will instill in many people.

Posted by: Mitsy | November 3, 2008, 2:36 pm 2:36 pm

Another thing..if you all are so against a socialist type of health care system, what do you propose to fix it? Nothing, up to now, has worked. Even those with health insurance are drowning in a sea of debts from health care. There HAS to be a better way. If structuring our health care like they have it in France or in the UK is going to help people, then I’m all for it.

Posted by: Mitsy | November 3, 2008, 2:48 pm 2:48 pm

Mitsy, I hope you are correct. But these right-wingers are so hateful, it is doubtful no matter how well things might go over the next four years that they will give any credit to Obama. People that close-minded are not likely to change any more than a leopard could change its spots.

You are kidding right Yolanda.
“It is so nice to see liberals giving advice on giving credit to a president when they have re-wrote the book of hate toward a president.
Biggest hategroup in America = liberals”
Who has driven this country to the bring of disaster not seen since the collapse of the Roman empire. I’d say it is the Republicans. You call that love for one’s country. I invite you to Google this phrase. “The Consitution is only a God Damn piece of paper”. You will be quite surprised who said it.
I actually heard the man say it along with millions of others.

Obama-Farrakhan Ties Are Close, Ex-Farrakhan Aide Says
Saturday, November 1, 2008 2:59 PM
By: Kenneth R. Timmerman Article Font Size
A former top deputy to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan tells Newsmax that Barack Obama’s ties to the black nationalist movement in Chicago run deep, and that for many years the two men have had “an open line between them” to discuss policy and strategy, either directly or through intermediaries.
“Remember that for years, if you were a politician in Chicago, you had to have some type of relationship with Louis Farrakhan. You had to. If you didn’t, you would be ostracized out of black Chicago,” said Dr. Vibert White Jr., who spent most of his adult life as a member and ultimately top officer of the Nation of Islam.
White broke with the group in 1995 and is now a professor of African-American history at the University of Central Florida in Orlando.
White said Obama was “part of the Chicago scene” where Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. and radicals would go to each other’s events and support each other’s causes.
“Even though Chicago is the third-largest city in the country, within the black community, the political and militant nationalist community is very small. So it wouldn’t be uncommon for [Obama and Farrakhan] to show up at events together, or at least be there and communicate with each other,” White told Newsmax.
The Anti-Defamation League has denounced Farrakhan and his Nation of Islam as a “hate group.”
Farrakhan has called Jews “bloodsuckers,” “satanic” and accused them of running the slave trade. He has labeled gays as “degenerates.” In a 2006 speech, the ADL again condemned Farrakhan when he said: “These false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood that is seeding the American people and the people of the world and bringing you down in moral strength. … It’s the wicked Jews the false Jews that are promoting lesbianism, homosexuality. It’s wicked Jews, false Jews that make it a crime for you to preach the word of God, then they call you homophobic!”
Obama was careful to “denounce” Farrakhan’s comments – but not the man — during the Democratic primary season earlier this year, but only after Hillary Clinton called him out for benefiting from Farrakhan’s support.
Farrakhan endorsed Obama in a videotaped speech to his followers at Mosque Miryam in Chicago in February. “You are the instruments that God is gonna use to bring about universal change, and that is why Barack has captured the youth,” Farrakhan said.
He told the crowd that Obama was the new “messiah.” See Video: Farrakhan Endorses Obama, Calls Him Messiah.
Once the news media and the Clinton campaign got hold of those comments from Farrakhan, demands mounted from all sides that Obama “renounce” Farrakhan.
But as he has done repeatedly throughout this campaign, Obama was careful to parse his words.
“You know, I have been very clear in my denunciation of Minister Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic comments,” he said during one appearance on “Meet the Press.” “I think that they are unacceptable and reprehensible.”
Obama hastened to point out that Farrakhan had been praising him as “an African-American who seems to be bringing the country together. I obviously can’t censor him, but it is not support that I sought. And we’re not doing anything, I assure you, formally or informally with Minister Farrakhan.”
But Obama, once again, was less than candid.
In 1995, according to a profile of Obama that appeared in the Chicago Reader newspaper, Obama “took time off from attending campaign coffees to attend October’s Million Man March in Washington, D.C.”
At the time, Obama was running for the Illinois Senate from Chicago’s South Side, a seat he won after getting surrogates to challenge the signatures on nominating petitions for his chief rival, the incumbent Alice Palmer.
The march, which fell far short of attracting the million men it advertised, was organized by Farrakhan and by Obama’s then-pastor, the anti-white black nationalist Wright.
Obama spoke at length with the Chicago Reader upon his return from the Million Man March. “What I saw was a powerful demonstration of an impulse and need for African-American men to come together to recognize each other and affirm our rightful place in the society,” he said.
“These are mean, cruel times, exemplified by a ‘lock ’em up, take no prisoners’ mentality that dominates the Republican-led Congress,” Obama said.
“Historically, African-Americans have turned inward and towards black nationalism whenever they have a sense, as we do now, that the mainstream has rebuffed us, and that white Americans couldn’t care less about the profound problems African-Americans are facing.”
“Black nationalism” is a current of thought and political action in the African-American community that has been championed by the likes of Farrakhan, Wright, Malcolm X, the Black Panthers and Khalid al-Mansour. Obama discussed his attraction to black nationalism at length in his 1995 memoir “Dreams of My Father.”
Obama further parsed his words in a Feb. 25, 2008, presentation to a Jewish community meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, where he insisted that Wright “does not have a close relationship with Louis Farrakhan.”
And yet, just months earlier, Wright’s Trumpet magazine gave Farrakhan its Lifetime Achievement Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award, saying that Farrakhan “truly epitomized greatness.”
That award was the fruit of a long and deep relationship between the two men, White told Newsmax. In 1984, Wright accompanied Farrakhan on his much-criticized trip to meet Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, at a time when Gadhafi was considered an enemy of the United States.
Wright also accompanied Farrakhan and Jackson to Syria in 1986, where they successfully negotiated with Syrian strongman for the release of downed American pilot Robert O. Goodman.
Obama’s Speaking Style
In addition to the ideological affinity Obama expressed for the black nationalist movement, White believes that Obama owes much of his success as a public orator to speaking techniques that Farrakhan developed over the years, and exploited for years to great success.
“If you listen to the rhetoric and you take away Obama’s political jargon, you hear a religious tenor to it that is very much Nation of Islam-like. I don’t know if anyone has ever touched on it, but Obama’s speaking style is very Malcolm-like, very Farrakhan-like,” White said.
Any American who has listened to early radio or television interviews of Obama can hear how dramatically Obama’s speaking style has changed since he became a United States senator.
In clips dating from 2001 and even early 2004, Obama speaks haltingly and in long, rambling sentences packed with legalese and dense pseudo-academic rhetoric. But not today.
“As a former minister of the Nation of Islam, I know how they speak,” White told Newsmax. “I don’t know who was training Obama. But that style is not a ministerial style like in the Christian church. It’s a Nation of Islam style.”
White began in the late 1970s as a foot soldier in the Fruit of Islam, the military branch of Farrakhan’s Black Muslim group, then rose to become a minister of the Nation of Islam and a top deputy to Farrakhan himself.
Known initially as Brother Vibert L.X., and later as Minister V.L. Muhammad, he parted ways with Farrakhan not long after the Million Man March, after nearly 25 years within the organization.
White’s 2002 book “Inside the Nation of Islam” prompted death threats by Farrakhan loyalists, so he left Illinois and moved to Florida to teach at the University of Central Florida.
He told Newsmax that Obama’s remarkable speaking style, even his manner of standing at a podium to appear larger than life, is directly copied from Farrakhan.
“If the Nation of Islam can’t do anything else, it can train people how to speak. And nobody can outspeak a Muslim minister,” he said.
Earlier this year, a pro-Clinton blog run by former CIA officer Larry Johnson unearthed a 2004 photograph showing Michelle Obama and Farrakahn’s wife, Mother Khadijah Farrakhan, at an event hosted by Jackson’s Citizenship Education Foundation.
Newsmax queried Obama’s U.S. Senate office, his Chicago office and his campaign press office about his ties to Farrakhan, but did not receive a reply.
Ever since he appeared before the annual policy conference of the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee in June, Obama has attempted to convince the Jewish community that he is pro-Israel.
But his longstanding ties to Farrakhan, Wright and Palestinian activist Rashid Khalidi, among others, have disturbed many Jewish community leaders.
Sen. John McCain publicly chastised The Los Angeles Times on Thursday for not releasing a videotape the newspaper said it possessed of a 2003 dinner for Khalidi, where Obama reportedly accused Israel of carrying out a “genocide” against the Palestinians.

Ex-CIA Expert: Obama Took Millions in Illegal Foreign Donations
Wednesday, October 29, 2008 9:27 PM
By: Kenneth R. Timmerman Article Font Size
A Newsmax investigation of Obama/Biden campaign contributors, undertaken in conjunction with a private investigative firm headed by a former CIA operations officer, has identified 118 donors who appear to lack U.S. citizenship.
Some of these “red flag” donors work for foreign governments; others have made public statements declaring that they are citizens of Cameroun, Nigeria, Pakistan, Canada, and other countries.
A Newsmax sampling of about 3,400 donors also found hundreds more who showed “yellow flags” such as not having used a Social Security number or a known U.S. address. Most U.S.-born citizens are issued Social Security numbers at birth or by the time they enter kindergarten.
Under federal law, only U.S. citizens or permanent residents may donate to federal political campaigns. It is illegal for the campaigns to accept money knowingly from foreign donors.
The McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill of 2002 placed new restrictions on political fundraising after the scandals of 1996, when the Clinton-Gore re-election campaign was exposed for having taken millions of dollars of unregulated soft money from donors with ties to Chinese military intelligence.
But even with the new laws, it remains very difficult to identify with any precision foreign money if a campaign itself does not cooperate with the Federal Election Commission and perform its own due diligence.
Until very recently, the Obama campaign had no safeguards in its online fundraising Web site designed to weed out foreign donors. Instead, its operations appeared to be designed specifically to enhance the flow of illegal money.
The Newsmax investigation focused only on donors whose names the Obama campaign disclosed, which are available to public scrutiny through the Federal Election Commission Web site.
In addition to the donations the campaign has disclosed, however, it has taken an unprecedented $218 million from donors whose names it is keeping secret, according to FEC spokesman Robert Biersack.
That money came from individuals who in theory never passed the threshold of $200, the limit the FEC set for public disclosure of a donor’s name and place of residence, so there is no way of knowing how much foreign money could be included in that amount.
For example, hidden away amidst the unprecedented $150 million Obama claims to have raised from individual donors in September was more than $42 million raised from secret donors. These donations appear in the records as a single entry under the heading, “Donors, Unitemized.”
Newsmax retained the services of former CIA operations officer Frederick W. Rustmann Jr. and a team of international forensic accounting experts to comb through Obama’s donor list to identify those who apparently aren’t U.S. citizens or residents. Rustmann, a 24 year veteran field officer, operates CTC International Group Ltd., a West Palm Beach, Fla., firm that provides business intelligence services and analysis.
Using sophisticated Internet search tools, fee-based data bases, and other public records, CTC attempted to identify Social Security numbers and U.S. addresses connected to the Obama donors. Most of these donors gave obvious overseas addresses when they made their donations, but the Obama campaign had no security screen to detect them.
“Hillary and McCain demanded proof of citizenship of all their donors,” Rustmann said. “Obama did not, so he benefitted by receiving an enormous amount of money from foreign donors who wanted to influence the U.S. election process.”
Rustmann and his investigative team expressed “high suspicions” that 118 donors flagged as “red” were not U.S. citizens.
“That’s all we can say for certain, because it’s difficult to prove citizenship with no database that lists citizens,” Rustmann said.
Typical is Victor A. of Lagos, Nigeria, who gave $500 to the campaign in May. In the FEC database, his address is listed as Ikoyi, NA. But a closer look at the actual itemized receipts filed by the campaign shows that he declared his address as 9e Awori Street Dolphin Estate, Lagos, Nigeria.
That apparently slipped by the eagle eyes of the Obama campaign’s finance team.
A survey of the Obama donor base returns 8,794 donations from individuals who gave their state as “NA.” They included donors from Bangalore, India; London; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Lagos, Nigeria; and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Thousands more gave state abbreviations that, combined with the city addresses they listed, clearly referred to foreign countries. Examples include IT (Italy), FR (France), GR (Greece), NZ (New Zealand), JP (Japan), GA (Gaza).
Another 2,372 donors gave their state of residence as “ZZ,” with cities including Moscow, Barcelona, Beirut, London, Lausanne, Singapore, Hagatna, Gunma-Ken, Buelach, Shanghai, Geneva, Prague, Aichi-Gun, Kiev, Hong Kong, and others.
The Obama campaign claims that these donors with overseas addresses are Americans living abroad, but there is no way of knowing that for certain because the campaign has not systematically required proof of citizenship from overseas donors.
The pace of foreign donations and other questionable fundraising practices has increased during the past few weeks, even as Obama campaign spokesmen say they have closed loopholes on their Web site and changed the credit-card authorization procedures that have allowed such donations. The Federal Election Commission had flagged 16,639 potential foreign donations as of Oct. 21 that brought in $5,249,263.96 to the campaign.
Take the case of Jo Jacquet, who gave $23,065 to Obama in 23 separate contributions last month. CTC found three people with variations of the name “Jo Anna Jacquet” who had U.S. addresses and Social Security numbers. It is not clear whether this specific Obama donor is a U.S. citizen.
“Jo Jacquet” made all of her contributions on two days, alternating between $5 and $2,300 charges to a credit card.
On all of the donations, she gave her employer as “DFDFGDFG,” and her profession as “DFGDFGDFGHFGH.” None of this attracted the suspicions of the Obama campaign or of Chase Paymentech, the company that processes the Obama campaign’s credit card donations.
The FEC requested that the Obama campaign re-attribute or re-designate all of the money from “Jo Jacquet” that went beyond the $4,600 limit but did not require that it be refunded. Under campaign finance rules, the campaign can shift this money into the “Obama Victory” account, a joint fundraising committee with much higher individual limits that it operates with the Democratic National Committee.
One apparent reason for the unusual number of foreign donors who may not hold U.S. citizenship is the fact the Obama campaign turned off the security features most merchants demand for customers when doing online transactions, such as verifying the card number against the cardholder’s name and billing address.
Another major loophole is the apparent widespread use of gift cards, which notoriously have been used for money-laundering purposes, especially in places such as Russia and Ukraine, industry security analysts tell Newsmax.
Newsmax asked James Wester, a spokesman for Chase Paymentech, who was responsible for taking the unusual step of deactivating the Address Verification Service recommended by VISA USA on the Obama Web site. Such security features can be deactivated by the processing company, or at the request of the merchant, in this case, Obama for America.
Wester said that Paymentech was “not going to be issuing a statement at this time.”
VISA USA has a series of verification tools it recommends to online merchants to prevent online credit card fraud and to guarantee the security of personal credit-card information.
“Fraudsters have been known to test credit card numbers by making online donations to charitable organizations,” a credit-card industry insider told Newsmax, on condition of anonymity.
In fact, by operating as a “high-risk merchant,” the Obama campaign could put both its donors and Chase Paymentech at risk, he said.
“A legitimate online merchant or charity would call in the Secret Service or the FBI” if it saw the high fraud rates that have appeared on the Obama campaign Web site.
“If they are not taking basic security safeguards to prevent such obvious online fraud as you have found, then how can any donor have confidence that they will protect credit card information? But if cash flow is the name of the game, it doesn’t matter as long as they get the money up-front and get the job done. They can pay the fines later,” he added.
Following are a few of the individuals the Newsmax/CTC International investigation found of overseas donors. To demonstrate its compliance with FEC regulations, the Obama campaign should request proof that these individuals are, indeed, U.S. citizens;
Nasser Z. of 187 Blvd Bineau in Paris-France, “NA,” made seven donations totaling $785. CTC found no record indicating U.S. citizenship. But on Nasser’s personal blog, he states that he is of Algerian origin and lives between Paris and Dubai. He also notes that he is not registered to vote in the United States and hints that he may be an adviser to the Obama campaign on Arab relations.
Salem H. gave $200 to the campaign in March 2008, listing a London address. He said he worked as a salesman for “Anaka,” No information was found either on Haffar or his company indicating U.S. citizenship.
Essomba H. made 11 donations totaling $265. Essomba gave an address in Lyon, “NA,” and said he was unemployed but working for “Association,” the French equivalent of a community organizer. CTC found that Essomba actually worked for PDT Associates Afrikespace et Oyenga, which showed him as living in Lyon, France. His personal blog states, “I’m a Cameroonian living in France” and notes that he is not registered to vote.
Gedewon (or Gideon) G. made 32 donations totaling $1,095. Although he lists his employer as “Filtom Design Services” and his residence as Toronto, Canada, CTC could find no company with that name. Gedewon frequently posts blogs to a Web site for expatriate Eritreans, where he often promotes Obama.
Mahamane M. gave $500 to the campaign and listed his address as Niamey, the capitol of the central African state of Niger. He listed his occupation as managing director of C.N.U.T. Niger. The Public Transport Users Council, CNUT is affiliated with the prime minister’s office. In an interview, Mahamane said he is particularly interested in developing transportation resources that will help bring Niger’s extensive uranium resources to market.
Gilles M. lives in Zurich and claims to be “founder and senior consultant” of 4?ME (sic) Image Consulting. Gilles made three donations to the campaign for a total of $240.39. The campaign found him suspicious enough to return one of them in July, but kept the rest. Under FEC rules, that will bring Gilles back into the shadows, since his aggregate contributions now total less than $200.
Stamen S. of Sofia, Bulgaria, lists his profession as “Mployer” and his employer as “Employer.” He has made ten donations totaling $170. CTC found no record indicating U.S. citizenship.
Francis B. . of La Creche, France, made three donations totaling $200. He is reported as being a medicine physician at Hospital-Niort and is listed. CTC found no verifiable record of U.S. citizenship.
Pedro M.,. who said he was a salesman for Intermundo in Prague, made two donations for a total of $900. CTC found no verifiable record indicating U.S. citizenship.
Sandeep M., . an investment manager at Clariden Leu, Kuesnacht, in Zurich, Switzerland, gave the maximum $2,300 allowed per election. CTC found no verifiable record indicating U.S. citizenship.
Marissa M., . a nurse living in Guatemala City, gave eight $25 donations. CTC found no verifiable record indicating U.S. citizenship.
Somine L. . declared that she worked at the French Ministry of Culture in Paris, and donated $100. CTC found no verifiable record indicating U.S. citizenship.
Although CTC had no way of accurately evaluating the real amount of foreign donations based on the survey they did for Newsmax, Rustmann said he believe that the anecdotal evidence was clear.
“In my opinion, from what I have seen here, millions of dollars came from illegal donations, because the Obama campaign did little to vet the donors,” Rustmann said.
An earlier Newsmax estimate, based on the unusual occurrence of unrounded contributions, which fundraising experts attributed to foreign currency donations, concluded that as much as $63 million could have come from foreign sources.
A veteran investigator with the Criminal Investigative Division of the U.S. Secret Service told Newsmax on Monday that most of the donor fraud Newsmax has identified could fly under the radar of federal investigators, unless the feds received a complaint from a victim of identify fraud.
Identify fraud certainly appeared to be the case when it came to the $174,800 donated in September in the name of Manchester, Mo., resident, Mary T. Biskup. A retired insurance manager, Biksup told The Washington Post that she never gave the money to the Obama campaign, and had checked her credit-card statements and couldn’t find any trace of a charge to her account.
“We’re not out a penny,” Biskup said. “I gather that someone has hacked into something using other people’s credit cards and putting my name on it.”
The credit-card industry often covers up identify fraud, such as apparently occurred with Biskup. Credit-card companies would rather swallow losses and chargebacks than admit to consumers that criminals have cracked their security systems, insiders tell Newsmax.

Obama’s Radical Lawyers Defend Enemy Combatants
Wednesday, October 29, 2008 12:14 PM
By: J. Michael Waller Article Font Size
Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn aren’t Barack Obama’s only terrorism problem.
A group of lawyers suing the United States to extend constitutional rights to enemy combatants detained in Guantanamo has endorsed Obama. Even more, the signatories say they “have been working closely with Senator Obama.”
As if that isn’t bad enough, one of the signatories who claims to have worked with Obama is head of a notorious legal activist group that has spent decades defending convicted terrorists and cop-killers.
I wonder what the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO) has to say about that since its September endorsement of Obama. NAPO says it represents “more than 2,000 police unions and associations” and “241,000 sworn law enforcement officers.”
But the lawyers for the enemy combatants, terrorists and cop-killers endorsed Obama first. On January 28, 2008, “Habeas Lawyers for Obama,” a group that describes itself as “deeply involved in the Guantanamo litigation” on behalf of enemy combatants, wrote a letter advocating Obama’s candidacy. “We have worked closely with Senator Obama,” the group said, calling habeas corpus under threat because of the treatment of the enemy combatants our troops captured in the war on terrorism.
Obama bought the line and acted. “Some politicians are all talk and no action,” the group said. “But we know from first-hand experience that Senator Obama has demonstrated extraordinary leadership on this critical and controversial issue. When others stood back, Senator Obama helped lead the fight in the Senate against the Administration’s efforts in the Fall of 2006 to strip the courts of jurisdiction,” according to the lawyers. Not only that, but Obama made his taxpayer-funded office available for their use: “When we were walking the halls of the Capitol trying to win over enough Senators to beat back the administration’s bill, Senator Obama made his key staffers and even his offices available to help us.”
Obama made the enemy combatants’ defense his personal cause, the lawyers said: “Senator Obama worked with us to count the votes, and he personally lobbied colleagues who worried about the political ramifications of voting to preserve habeas corpus for the men held at Guantanamo.”
“Senator Obama demonstrated real leadership then and since, continuing to raise Guantanamo and habeas corpus in his speeches and in the debates,” they said.
One of the signatories was the lawyer who successfully argued the Supreme Court case giving constitutional protections to the enemy combatants. That lawyer, Michael Ratner, heads a legal activist group called the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), which masquerades as a human rights organization. The CCR has publicly supported or otherwise defended the murderers of American law enforcement officers, including FBI Special Agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams; Fulton County, Georgia, Deputy Sheriff Ricky Kinchen; New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster; Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner and NYPD Officer John Scarangella.
The CCR has been supporting terrorists, almost nonstop, since the late extremist legal activist William Kunstler founded the group when Obama was about eight years old.
Kunstler vowed to keep the revolutionaries in the streets by using the legal system as a weapon against American society. The CCR defended the Weather Underground of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn back then. Subsequently it supported the terrorists who planted more than 100 bombs across Chicago and New York, as well as the terrorist group that blew up the historic Fraunces Tavern, killing four and wounding 54, and the bomber of a New York synagogue. Later, under Ratner’s leadership, it extended its support to Islamist extremists, including the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and enemy combatants held by the U.S. military at Guantanamo.
While working with Obama, Ratner and his group teamed with a lawyer for an identified Al Qaeda front in a separate legal case.
Ratner says his work, part of decades of legal maneuvers to undermine the nation’s protection against terrorists, is really a fight to save habeas corpus and the U.S. Constitution. Assisting the enemy combatants – today, not when Obama was eight – is what brought Ratner publicly to support the Illinois senator for president.
It looks like NAPO didn’t do its detective work. “NAPO believes that Senators Obama and [Joseph] Biden will make giving our nation’s law enforcement officers every protection they need a top priority of their administration,” said association President Tom Nee in NAPO’s September endorsement.
Had NAPO done some basic gumshoe work, it might have pressured Obama, in exchange for its coveted endorsement, to disclaim his support from Ratner and other defenders of terrorism.
But it didn’t. And so far, nobody has held Obama accountable. The questions now are, how can Obama claim to be a friend of the police while he collaborates with lawyers who aid terrorists and cop-killers? What was the extent of his involvement with them? And why has he not renounced their support?

The Democratic party counted my vote before it was cast. Unlike my party, I believe that my demographic (women) matters. Obama slapped us in the face by picking Biden over Clinton and then telling us to get in line behind him. His words: “a tepid vote for me is a vote nonetheless.” No–I can’t even give him a tepid vote because I need to feel that my vote matters to the candidate. But don’t worry about lttle old me–I’m sure for every angry woman out there who can’t get in line, there is a sexist Republican man who hates Palin and will vote for Obama

Iranian General Reports Arming ‘Liberation Armies’
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran is supplying weapons to “liberation armies” in the Middle East, a top Revolutionary Guards commander said, offering the first official confirmation the country provides weapons to armed groups in the region.
Gen. Hossein Hamedani, deputy commander of a volunteer militia that is part of the elite Revolutionary Guards, did not provide specific details in the report on the state-run Borna news. The U.S. military has accused Iran of arming Shiite militias in Iraq, and Iran is widely believed to provide weapons to Lebanon’s militant Shiite Hezbollah group.
“Not only are our armed forces self-sufficient, liberation armies of the region get part of their weapons from us,” Hamedani said, according to the report on Borna’s Web site late Sunday.
In the past, Iran – a majority Shiite country – has denied arming Hezbollah, saying it only provided political and financial support. The Iranian government has also denied providing weapons or financial support to Shiite militants fighting U.S. forces in Iraq.
But the U.S. military has said it has evidence that elements of the Mahdi army, an Iraqi militia loyal to anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, have been armed by Iran.
Hamedani also said Iran has no shortage of advanced missile systems.
“Our chemical engineers have upgraded Iran’s missile capability,” he was quoted as saying.
Hamedani didn’t elaborate, but Iranian officials have said they successfully tested a solid fuel motor for the medium-range Shahab-3 ballistic missile, a technological breakthrough for Iran.
Experts say solid fuel increases the accuracy of missiles in reaching targets. But many in the West have expressed doubt about Iran’s professed military accomplishments.
Iran launched an arms development program during its 1980-88 war with Iraq to compensate for a U.S. weapons embargo. Since 1992, Iran has produced its own tanks, armored personnel carriers, missiles and a fighter plane.

I went to school with Obama. Very introspective person. You can see that in his books. Anyone that introspective and thoughtful throughout his life can (and in Obama’s case, has) become extremely intelligent and understanding. Brilliant. It’s time we had a brilliant, thoughtful person handling the executive branch. Or maybe that’s just my knee-jerk reaction from seeing shoot-from-the-hip-when-you-only-have-25%-of-the-needed-information-to-make-a-decision Bush over the last 8 years. And what has happened to America in that time? Obama-Biden 2008

Posted by: Chris | November 3, 2008, 4:33 pm 4:33 pm

No, McCain will win, even though I don’t support him (nor Obama).
McCain: 49%
Obama: 48%
Third Party: 3%
McCain will grab 280 plus EVs.
I based it not on random sampling, but on voters trends by COUNTY, the way that lazy pollsters don’t do it nowadays. The pollsters have to let go the land line surveys–they are no longer effective.

Those who have voted for bama are going to be sorry because he is nothing but a wishy washer. He really fooling a lot of people. In addition, it going to be worse than all these people can imagine. Believe me y’all haven’t seen nothing yet. I am going to pray for them because they not know what they do.

Posted by: carlos | November 3, 2008, 4:49 pm 4:49 pm

I and John McCain are Left Wing Republicans, not Right Wing Republicans.
A vote for Obama in 2008 is a vote for the Ultra Conservative Sarah Palin in 2012.
The “Promise them everything” Obama is going to screw this country up so bad that by 2012, all the Independent Voters will go running to the Ultra Conservative Sarah Palin, just like they did after Jimmy Carter, when they ran for Regan.
The Republicans are going to invest in Ultra Conservative Sarah Palin and turn her into a Super Candidate. Do not underestimate Sarah Palin.
By 2012, the Independent Voters will be against Obama because he screwed up the USA, leaving the Ultra Conservative Sarah Palin almost a clear path to the White House.
If I were an Independent Voter, I would rather have a “Middle of the Road” “Left Wing Republican” as President now, than an Ultra Conservative president in 2012.

Whenever ONE POLITICAL PARTY is in complete control of Congress AND the WHITE HOUSE…they ALWAYS ABUSE their power.
The Democrats abused their power when they were in charge in the 1990′s.
The Repbulcians abused their power when they were in charge in the 2000′s.
Prevent the abuse…SPLIT THE VOTE.
Obama for the White House.
Republicans for the Senate.
Force the Parties to compromise and to work with each other to prevent abuse of their power.

Anebt, cell phone polling is benefitting O. Additionally, on the county level, things look equally bad for McCain, maybe you wanna adjust your figures accordingly… http://tinyurl.com/6lfkm9

According to AP, it has just been announced that the second report into Palin’s ethical misconduct is due to be released today. The timing of this seems bizarre, coming on the eve of the election.

First…
The really, really long posts are probably not being read at this point.
I passed them up — except the [sort of long] one from poster: alex milstein regarding the San Fran Chronicle — that one SHOULD be read by everyone, whether you have made a decision or not. It shows how bogus information can be made to appear so “real” that even a VP candidate will use it. That’s a SCARY part of our growing Information Age.
Point — Be careful, find at least two, three is better, unimpeachable sources before you believe anything, folks.
Anyway, Most people who come to news boards/blogs have already made up their mind, I’d say 99% have.
Though, the long VOTE OBAMA post is sort of cool as it passes — kind of like an Escher print or something.
REMEMBER — THE ONLY POLL THAT COUNTS — IF YOU HAVEN’T YET ***VOTE TOMORROW**
God Bless America

OBAMA LOVERS DO NOT BE SO SURE
FLORIDA early voters reports show that
OBAMA 48 %
MCCAIN 49 %
Remember early elections results
not a poll
60% democrats voted
30 % republicans voted
Think??????????

Got word from an evangelical friend of mine in FL that when he waited in line for 4 hours on Sunday to vote, he talked with people about who they were going to vote for, and he says 9 of 10 people he talked to said they were voting for McCain; and he said that people seemed to be motivated by a deep fear of a President Obama.

I voted MCCAIN/PALIN in early voting in Miami, Florida.
While in a line that lasted 3.5 hours on Oct 31,2008. Must of the people that I spoke said they will vote McCain, because OBAMA remainds them of Fidel Castro when he took over power. Promising the redistribution of wealth.
Must of the voters in South Florida are hhispanic from Cuba. They are voters because they are citizens unlike many other hispanics who are not citizens and therefore can not vote.

Please, before you assert that ABC News must be biased because not one of its analysts predicted a McCain victory, consider that perhaps they are just doing their jobs and calling it as they see it. It’s cynical and stupid to think that “unbiased” means making sure that someone predicts what you wish would happen, even if it’s far-fetched.

republican_paulie, John McCain got involved in a car accident in 1964 and up to this day the US Navy is refusing to release any details on this incident.
You gotta wonder what really happened and WHY the Navy refuses to release the information. Did John McCain kill someone? Was he at fault, maybe even drunk? Did he escape just punishment because of his prominent daddy? Would the Navy also act like this if it was about you instead of McCain?
You might wanna start counting the bodies in your own backyard first before looking at Obama.

Polls that favor Obama need to be discounted by 4 points due to Press Effect

Obama 291
McCain 247
52% – 48%.
McCain loses because of Virginia, Nevada and Colorado.
Dems pick up 7 seats, Lieberman caucases with the Repubs, Senate 57 – 43.
All you Kool Aid drinkin’ maggots on the left need to wake up and smell the coffee. Joe the Plumber – and Obama’s Freudian slip about taxes – cost his stupid ass a mandate and the Dems a 60 Senator majority.
As a McCain supporter I am absolutely beaming with joy that in a year where our party was running uphill, into a hurricane wind, for many reasons, we will have successfully damaged the Democrat’s ability to move the country to the left – a huge moral victory.
Thanks again, Joe the Plumber.

Joe the Plumber is a great personification of the Republican Party. He lied about his income, he’s unlicensed and he loves less government — except when it means less pork for his pocket. I hire qualified, experienced people to work on my house and feel the same about my government.

Wow, lots of right-wing hate and stupidity here. Sorry, Republicans, your party has been overtaken by ignorant haters, phony “Christians”, and Fascists who have ruined the GOP and driven it into the ground. Mark my words: the GOP is through. Finished. Kaput. We will overcome. We will show you the error of your ways. We will educate you. So help me God.

Posted by: I club republicans | November 3, 2008, 10:52 pm 10:52 pm

The Republican party now more than ever seems to be pandering to skinheads, nazis, and klansmen, stoking fear and loathing in a Presidential nominee that will have far reaching ramifications should they lose this election(or doesn’t anyone know about the dragging deaths in our country going on, even in this year?). The Republicans are reaching out and inflaming a part of society that has a disdain for higher education and any person that doesn’t “look” quite right, or has a different value system. The message they are sending is screaming so loud that I can’t hear anything that they are trying to say. And that’s enough for me, and it should be enough for America.

It’s not about you Obama! You pose your family for campaign pictures as if you think you are the black Kennedys. And you are creating video memoirs before you are even in office. It appears that you are campaigning to make history for yourself. Even if the eggs you have counted hatch, your presidency will be in vain.

McCain – 299 electoral votes. My guess is that the polls have been too erratic in terms of Obama’s lead from one day to next.

Posted by: Albert Le Gras | November 3, 2008, 11:54 pm 11:54 pm

Bush Cheney & their supporters over the last 8 years, have dug such a deep hole, that I feel sorry for the crises the next president will be facing to get the economy & foreign affairs out of the current mess.
I remember it used to be so easy to find good paying professional employment until Bush took over and messed up everything one by one, either with neglect, indifference, fiscal irresponsibility, excessive spending, bad judgment, cronyism.
I think Bush created unprecedented number of good paying jobs but at the wrong place.
I think Bush responded to 911 but attacked the wrong country which did not attack us.
It is sad that McCain stood up with Bush 90 percent of the times and left him alone because the policies failed.
He would have taken full credit had the polices he supported over the 8 years succeeded

The comment by JE is perfect – I cannot do it better so here it is again:
“For you winger buttheads commenting here, ABC isn’t leaning left – and you moes need to stop looking at the ‘independent’ polls that are fun by ignorant backwoods types like you. Obama will win even with you racists and fundamentalists out there trying to keep human beings evolving into decent human beings.
I’d say you should be ashamed of yourselves, but you have no idea what you should be ashamed of. You are lost at sea, trying to pull down any and all other poor saps that come into your grasp.
What we need to pray for are not the dumbass things you pray for, it’s for inclusiviness, compassion and community to sweep over you numbnuts before your influence and dark energies sink all of us.”
Go Obama! Obama/Biden ’08

Bill Brown says “Amazing that ABC News leans so predominatley left. Is it possible to get a more substantial slant to the political left on one Round Table discussion. How about some diversity in a discussion so close to a very important Presidential Election.” He must be completely unaware of the political leanings of George Will and Matthew Dowd. The fact that they are calling this for Obama doesn’t mean they’ve changed their outlooks, it means they’re realists.

I remember seeing a baby elephant with big ears in the Halloween pics of Palin’s family and baby. No, it wasn’t a pink elephant. At first I thought the baby costume was supposed to be Dumbo the Disney Elephant, and then I realized that maybe it was a miniature 3D political cartoon costume of Obama.

Have you heard Obama’s campaign theme song?… “Movin on up to the White House…finally got a piece of the pie”. That’s not why one should run for office. If Obama thinks he is coming to the White House for dessert, he’s got another thing commin…a buffet of battles. It takes someone seasoned like McCain to serve our country as President. Obama needs to grow-up and out of his self serving pride.

Its gonna be sooooo awesome: BO’s “civilian security force” funded equal to the entire military ($500-$1000 billion).
“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that is just as powerful …”. Barrack Hussein Obama
I guess “the Plumber” got to ol’ BO even more than he let on.
Thank god George, Katie and friends cleared this one up before we elected this goon with a god complex. No?
A BO created/loyal paramilitary equal, equal, equal to the force and budget of the US military. Wow, and I was thinking it was Barry that said we didn’t really have a serious security threat anymore. Guess he knows better than I.

John McCain i.e. “John the President” has been in the trenches of battle, his Presidential factor is not merely theory. In contrast, Obama would be bogged down on our nation’s battlefront with a back pack of theory from Harvard. Does that make you feel secure? Do you recognize the consequences of his ideas? Will this professional campaigner weighted down with a bag of books and empty of experience be ready for action?

To Buck, the person that posted all those “Newsmax” articles?
I used to subscribe to Newsmax, but after checking out several of their articles (not just political) I found out that they are about as accurate as the National Enquirer. They are a total piece of garbage that just writes what they want with no basis in truth. So stop wasting the space of the comments section posting their garbage. I cancelled my subscription ages ago, and don’t want to have to scan through miles of stuff I don’t want to read anyway.
Go read something from an accurate source for gawd’s sake!

“According to AP, it has just been announced that the second report into Palin’s ethical misconduct is due to be released today. The timing of this seems bizarre, coming on the eve of the election.”
Yeah–she was cleared of ethical misconduct. But no one cares who has listened to Palin and realized that the USA would become the laughing stock of the world if we allowed her to be elected.

“please libs make good on promises” – You made a radical statement about dividing the red and blue states of the United States, and essentially exiling the red ones. That would be radical segregation resulting in civil war. Why do you want to paint all the houses in America blue, and then tear down the old red ones? A house divided falls, is that what you really want?

Ian Bragg, if you think that Kevin Rudd is a better PM than Howard, you’re fooling yourself. Kevin Rudd’s campaign running on high rhetoric of change is exactly the same rubbish that’ll get Obama elected. Please people, for the love of god, stop drinking the Kool-aid. As with Rudd, I suspect that Obama has promised the world, and will deliver nothing. There are going to be a whole lot of disappointed people, Obama is going to betray so many. By the way, please don’t give me some trash about the “Audacity of Hope”. Get a grip, McCain has had the audacity and honesty to speak the truth. Reflect on this, “It’s no more than an eloquent but empty call for change that promises no more than a holiday from history and a return to the false promises and failed policies of a tired philosophy that trusts in government more than the people” – McCain on Obama. Never a truer word was spoken.

When u guys step in and vote, have u guys look at what u r doing? Look at your candidate. How much do u know him? Do u know them enough to choose him and forgive him for his past mistakes. The problem for choosing Obama is we do not know what we are in for. U can make all the promises in the world, but u know that no past presidents preach every promise they make. No doubt, Obama may make a very good president, but he may also end up as a very bad one indeed. McCain? He would be above average. So do you choose a safe choice or a wildcard?

no one likening obama to socialists or socialism has demonstrated even a middle-school grasp of what socialism is. obama is thorougly capitalist; socialism is and will never be a mainstream political force in america. luckilly, a majority of americans see through these idiots’ infantile, vestigial coldwar paranoia.

I will proudly cast my vote for that “socialist” Barack Obama today as a white woman. Obama will probably win over 300 EV’s tonight. McCain has to win PA and ALL the battleground states just to win. Has anyone seen the early voting in CO? Its devastating. More than half the people there already voted. Obama is taking the west back and VA looks good as well. As for the name calling from the McCain voters here, grow up. I dealt with 8 years of Geroge Bush, now its about to be your turn.

Funniest thing ever is someone who hates Barack the man because of the “black” man he is. The comments can’t cloak the hate, and barring political correctness you’d be bold enough to say what’s really in your hearts and minds. McCain has done one thing well this election, spread lie after lie in a desperate attempt to win votes, irregardless of the harm it poses to Country he claims to put “Country First”. He put Country second when he became devisive, he put Country second when he chose an unqualified second and he can drop out of Country’s sight in just a few more hours. No matter what the count, just let it declare Obama/Biden. PS, please don’t invoke God, Jesus or religion when spewing hate America, so uncool.

Some of the ‘Republicans’ who have commented on here should be ashamed of themselves. Pure and simple you are just racist filth, there is no better term i’m afraid.
The bile and lies they speak are truly pathetic,its like going back 50 years but in their mind nothing has really changed, until now. The greatest fear they’ve ever had is about to come true, a black man will be the most powerful in the United States!
These people are on are a par with any Islamic Extremist, their views are just as dangerous and just as vile and full of hate and lies, they are too uneducated to debate real policies. All they can do is come out with this right wing nonsence they have picked up from some crackpot radio station.
So Good luck Obama from the UK and to all you racist filth out there – enjoy the night and prepare for change!!

Obama’s position on SOCIal ISSUES are the JUST OPPOSITE OF CHRISTIAN VALUE.
Obama is the MOST LIBERAL senator who supports GAY MARRIAGE, TAX FUNDING for ABORTION, human CLONING, JUDICAL ACTIVISM. GAY PRIDE CELEBRATION, and HOMOSEXUAL EDUCATION.
Obama also is THE MOST EXTREME PRO-ABORTION candidate and is RATED 100% in the rating of NARAL, Pro-abortion group
Obama, as a Illinois state senator, VOTED FOUR times AGAINST providing IMMEDIATE medical care to NEW BORN-ALIVE BABIES, LETTING THEM DIE.
Obama also supports PARTIAL BIRTH abortion, a GROUSOME procedure without ANASTASIA. Whoever vote for Obama is COOPERATING in the BLOOD SHEDDING of the INNOCENT

Republicans have gotten used to their party leaders stomping all over Democracy and this country. You’ve gotten used to Bush and Cheney’s Gestapo tactics.
You can’t stand it that you’re about to LOSE. Crybabies.
And BTW… If you’re going to quote Obama’s book you should read and quote the WHOLE thing.
He went through a phase of trying to figure out his identity… and as a young guy, resented having to try to “make it” with white people who didn’t accept him because — though his mother is white — he looks black.
Truthfully, I’m disgusted by the superior attitudes of Americans who puke out the Pledge of Allegiance ( remember “liberty and justice for ALL” ?) and then hate, hate, hate.
You’re biggots who should go start your own compound somewhere.

Geon Lee, you do realize that most of the distortions you’ve posted weretackled LONG AGO.
Repeating the same BS doesn’t make it true and if you’re trying to pick on emotive non-issues that are more a personal issue than a national issue, then you’ve already lost.
Thankfully America has grown far more politically astute and mature over recent years and the GOP’s divisive antics have fuelled healthy skepticism.
I’d try the evidence and debunking route but I know it’s a waste of time because you simply will not listen to common sense.
Good luck America, if you haven’t already, go and VOTE!

After reading a sampling of comments, I keep coming back to the same thing. This is really a choice between divisive, name-calling, school-yard politics versus a real vision of the future greatness of this country. I hope and pray that we reject, finally, the small-minded attacks leveled by Palin, McCain, and their surrogates such as Arnold. I’m constantly hearing working class people spewing misinformation about Obama, right as they go and vote once more against their own self interest. The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over again and expect different results. I see 8 years of Bush behind us, poor job growth (despite all the rhetoric that lower taxes=jobs), massive deficits, and failed policies. To elect McCain is to advocate more of the same, regardless of how “mavericky” he claims to be. Perhaps Obama will bring back some of Clinton’s era, where this country actually produced 20 million plus jobs and balanced its budget. Perhaps we’ll achieve energy independence, bring jobs back to the U.S., expand healthcare, and restore the middle class, as Obama at least has a plan to do.

I loved the letter that you quoted from Huntley Brown. Thank you for posting that, it was a blessing to read. Brown’s world view and the issue of character are expressed with such dignity and mercy. He said what needs to be said better than any of us on this blog. And, he did so as a black Biblical believer of commendable character based on the consistant wisdom of the word of God. I agree that the valuable values of America’s founding fathers who wrote our constitution should be preserved. Liberals love to rewrite history and continually attempt to rewrite the Constitution. I hope more bloggers read Huntley Brown’s letter which calls for some serious soul searching.

I wonder if terrorists read these blogs and see how shamefully we squander our freedom of speech with so many loose comments. I bet we would weigh our words more heavily if that freedom began to disappear. The precious privilege of this freedom would never be allowed in a dictatorship. And, if terrorists had their way, these blogs would be no more. Remember that next time you are tempted to attack a fellow American. If we really relished in the freedom of speech we would express every day respect more readily to one another.

Once upon an Obama, there was a reader who was a leader in the land. And, to his children he read lessons in sorcery. This was considered to be virtuous in the eyes of his lady. But beware; all is not as innocent as it may appear. Beneath the surface of a subtle slight of hand, maybe lurks the deeper deception of the deceived. If not careful the people of the land could be slighted by the very one who seemed so charming. And, their freedom could be sacrificed to something called socialism. A few of the people cried out “We need a good old Honest Abe, to cut loose the chains that hold us hostage to the short sightedness of some, and to save us from this socialistic bondage”. These few remembered a man who long ago had been the leader of their land. This man’s name was John Adams. He did not keep slaves, even in a time of slavery. And, the people of his day did not take freedom for granted. Fast forward, 2008, we have the freedom to vote contrary to the crowd and release America from the acting out of grudges. Don’t bow the knee to King Obama and his Queen Michelle. Don’t be mesmerized by the wizardry of his campaign.

The CAMPAIGN CONCLUSION will leave one candidate at the finish line, as the other begins on the historical record as our new President. What kind of history will be written tomorrow, the next four years, and years to come? Will it be the long term steadiness and stability of our old fashioned American values? Or, will the high hopes of the sprinter bring us to a crash? Obama is an inexperienced leader with a slick sell. Whereas, McCain walks the talk. This race should not be one of speed or style, but should be won for the sake of substance. The quest is for quality. It’s more about the message than the messenger. Obama’s campaign methods are better than his message. In contrast, McCain the man with the better message may not have spent as much money on a shinny campaign, but he’s the Marathon Man that will carry us thru. The election may end with the Boo Hoo of the bruised black and blue ego of the Democrats and the election elation of the Republican reds. But, WHATEVER THE TURNOUT is, this season of political campaigning, cartoons, debates and satires is entering into the phase where WE MUST ALL DO OUR “PART” TO WORK TOGETHER FOR THE SAKE OF THE WHOLE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

George Will’s numbers don’t add up. He predicts that Obama will win either Indiana or Missouri (along w/ ND) to get to 378. He’d actually have to win both to get there (unless he’s predicting some other strange upsets in states like AZ/Ark/Tenn). If he wins one of those two, as Will predicts, then he’d end up at 367 if all the other states go as he predicts. Any explanation for your ‘funny math’ George?

And then we make an agreement that we will not bail each other out or defect to the other party for over the next eight years and what ever side is in better economic state may buy the other half. And the person that has stupid written on their foreheads goes to another country that will take them. I am tired of stupid people, I know a moron that is voting for McCain because he still thinks he is a Muslim, but the GOP has an ad out about Rev Wright and Obama going to that Christen church for 20 years, but this idiot still think he is a Muslim. Stupid very stupid!
