John McCain is one crap-shooting wanna-be maverick of an idiot if he thinks we will be force-fed his unknown, unvetted, eye candy lightweight candidate-

Why won't she face the press? What MORE is she trying to hide?

For those who like to bring up that Sarah gave Alaskans money, well she did then proceeded to borrow for everything after that.

To an outsider, it would seem hard to do, but an oil-rich town with
zero debt on the day she was inaugurated mayor was left saddled with $22 million of debt by the time she moved away to become governor – especially since nothing was spent on things such as improving the city’s infrastructure or building a much-needed sewage treatment plant. So what did Mayor Palin spend the taxpayer’s money on, if not fixing streets and scrubbing sewage?

For starters, she remodelled her office. Several times over, as a matter of fact.

Then Palin spent $1 million on an unnecessary, new park that no one other than the contractors and Palin seemed to want. Next, Sarah doled out more than $15 million of taxpayer money for a sports complex that she shoved through even though the city did not own clear title to the land; now, seven years later, the matter is still in litigation and lawyer fees are said to be close to at least half of the original estimated price of the facility.

She also worked hard to get voters approval of a $5.5 million bond proposal for roads that could have been built without borrowing. Anchorage may not be the center of the financial universe but, like good Republicans everywhere, Sarah Palin knows how to please Alaskan bankers and bond dealers.

And for good measure, she turned Wasilla into a wasteland of big box stores and disconnected parking lots.

You really want to know who Sarah Palin is, google Anne Kilkenny. She lives in Wasilla and has known Ms. Palin all her life.

MCCAIN, AND HIS CREW MUST REALLY DO THINK THAT WE ARE STUPID. THEY WILL STOOP TO ANYTHING. NOW THEY ARE THE ONES FOR CHANGE. HOW LOW CAN THEY GO. NOW THEY ARE LYING ABOUT THE FLAGS, EVERYONE CAN SEE THROUGH ALL YOUR SCHEMES AND LIES MACCAIN, AND CREW. CUT IT OUT. YOU WILL LOSE PURELY ON YOUR DISHONESTY, NOT TO MENTION YOUR OTHER FLAWS. LIKE STUPIDITY, AND TOO OLD. THATS WHY WE ARE NOT TRUSTED NOW, BECAUSE OF FLAWED CHARACTERS LIKE YOU MACCAINE, AND CREW! STOP MAKING AMERICANS LOOK LIKE WE CANT BE TRUSTED!

I'm amazed that after 8 years over 40% of the voter will fall for this again.
They swoon and fall all over Palin and we haven't heard one original word out of her mouth. Nothing!!!!
Just attracts that the Bush handler wrote for her speeches.
Bush admitted he doesn't know anything about the economy. And she also was apparently to busy to care about Iraq, why should she , was Gods will anyway. And Bush will be voted to most likely to push the button .

I can see the wheel turning in Palins head….McCain 72, health not so good…oh goody i could be president !!!
It is the Plalin/McCain show right now anyway, how does he feel being outdone by his VP
I hope people will wake up!!

McCain cited the problems at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as another example of the nation's economic woes. (Caused by McCain's party, for which McCain will be 4 more years of the same idiotic administration, unless something happens and crazy Governor Wingnut who hates polar bears (against environmental laws), who hates America (part of Alaska separatist movement), and who hates books and free thinking (tried to get librarian to ban common books), can give the wacko Religious Right the fundamentalist Christian theocracy they've wanted for years. And then all you non-believers, Jews, Mormons, etc., will of course be less than welcome to say here.

To Evangelism "Palin's pastor, Larry Kroon, warns God "is gonna strike out his hand against" America"

Yes, doomsday is near. Mother Nature is going through a birthpain. There are wars everywhere. In a world, where food is abundant, Asian countries cannot afford rice. Bush has set the tone for the Apocalypse, freeing Iraq, weakening America and persecuting anyone in the name of National Security.

I dont know if we'll see it, but someday the human race we'll wake up to accepting or rejecting the mark of the beast on their hands or foreheads - 666.

Welcome to the future!

Anne Kilkenny has a few insights about Sarah Palin.

Independent voters please review…………..

http://stupidcelebrities.net/2008/09/05/ann-killkenny-palin-email-photos/

Even Bush said on time: McCain say one thing and does another. Give me a break, I already said he is a Alzehmer case. God forbit (and not to sound offensive)but if he wins, Sarah might have to help change the diaper.

Looks like a job for SUPER SARAH….with all her economical

expertise she should be able to solve this problem…let's see 2 days?

As a follow up to Gov. Palin's parental issues, Mrs. Palin' s pregnant daughter and newborn baby is sure to have a psychological impact on Palin and her family.

It will depend if America wants to move on from the Bush / Cheney / Rove years.

Hopefully, McCain,72, will retire now.

FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT-
SCREAM, SCREAM-
SEND ZINGERS AND INSULTS-
PITT BULLS AND MOOSE-
FIGHT, FIGHT-

THIS SOUNDS LIKE MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AMERICANS WE NEED TO DEMAND MORE CIVIL DEBATE INSTEAD OF PARTICIPATING IN AND ENCOURAGING THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR.

Palin = Bushney (the vision of two horrors)

1) governor - shuffle papers, firing and hiring people
2) can shoot
3) religiously on the wrong side of God - cuts funding for special needs children. Jesus would have never done that
4) rushes to make decisions (see her profile)

We need our leader to have judgement, vision and patience.

McCain has a nice story but you know what I cannot carry that to the grocery and use it as money to buy food

McCain has a nice story, but you know what I cannot use it to pay for gas when my car is close to empty.

McCain has a nice story, but you know what I cannot use it to pay my mortgage.

McCain has a nice story, but you know what it is just a story it dose nothing to enhance my life on any level. So Mr McCain stop with the story and give me a solution.

Why anyone would vote for a VP who can't keep her own underage daughter straight and not screw around is beyond me. Palin is the worst choice ever for a VP, worst than Cheney. As for McCain, he's been George W Bush's lap dog for the last eight years! Maverick?! I don't think so!

To Obama camp
First do you have to know how to attack
Look at the flag issue they made it big you all doesn’t know how to response
Now Fox is showing all the videos
Only Clintons know how to handle GOP

Life long democrat and Hillary strong supporter will vote for Mc Cain
Hillary 2012 /Mc Cain/Palin2008

I AM SO TIRED OF HEARING PALIN IS A REFORMER, ITS NOT TRUE. LOOK AT HER RECORD PLEASE.

All Biden has to say to Palin is that he is running on his boss's message. He supports his boss's view.

The Republican convention had actual substance

all Obama has been saying is "McCain is Bush" and all you idiots believe him

If you actually have done your research you should know McCain hates Bush and had many different policies than him.

I live in Illinois and Obama has done NOTHING

Obama did not erred on earmark. He never did say he didnt take any earmark, but Palin is the one that glued her hips to McCain and confessed that she's earmark-free Goddess.

She's the one that is going to break China,not Obama. Obama is promising that he'll review cases and make decisions to make things better (look at his DNC speecah again).

The earmark was closed, but let me say this, Obama can poke fun at McCain and Palin on this point. They mentioned that Obama took earmark. There's nothing wrong with Obama taking earmark. He didnt promise that he never took earmark. Palin ran on his boss's message of not taking earmark, when in fact, she did take earmark.

What makes you think Obama knows anything about the economy. Has he ever ran anything done anything? No you just believe he does because he told you that. Get some facts.

why can,t obama produce his real birth certificate insted of his sisters altered birth certificate on his web site

Palin, at the same rally, said of the two companies that together hold or back half of the nation's mortgage debt: "They've gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers. The McCain-Palin
administration will make them smaller and smarter and more effective for homeowners who need help."

OK….they hold HALF of the mortgages in the United States… DUH…they ARE big. How do you make them "smaller and smarter" ??? Please answer that.

Obama 08
(R) Richard Lugar for Secretary of State

Change! That's all we're going to have left if Obama/Biden get in. So does S. 2433 address mortgage failures around the world? "Global Poverty Act of 2007 - Directs the President, through the Secretary of State, to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the U.S. foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the United Nations Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day. " Who else are we going to bail out if we're supposed to be bailing ourselves out?? And is this the type of foreign policy we can expect in an Obama administration? If so, I know I can't afford it!!

Biden is a VP. He's running to support Obama in his quest for change. He listens to his authority. Biden does not have to explain anything. He's a follower not a leader at this point.

Go ahead! Let them run Rev Jeremiah Wright. Most of the Americans have crucified and burned that theme already.

C'mon Charles, McCain DOES equal Bush. He has supported the vast majority of Bush's policies, and has said he will continue to do so. His voting record proves this.

McCain USED to be a maverick. He USED to be independent, back around 2000 or so, but he's not anymore. Over the years he has more and more towed the party line. Heck, he's got Bush's people running his campaign!

I remember when I used to think that McCain was one of the few Republicans I could vote for. But his conforming to the party-line over the past few years has destroyed that idea.

And I haven't seen where Obama said he'll spend 10 billion per month in Afghanistan.

Has anyone noticed how very angry the posts from the Obama supporteres are? They are pretty irrational in their blind hatred. Their venom seeps thru their every post . And these are the kind of people who will lead us for the next 4 years?

What's the difference between George Bush and Palin?
Lipstick

Hero McGimmick didn't have the BALLS to do his own work so he finds a gimmick sidekick to do his dirty bidding for him.

I'm blogging this article because the above was closed……….Palin says Biden is not an agent of change. WELL AMERICA, SARAH PALIN IS AN AGENT OF CHANGE, SHE CHANGED COLLEGES 6 TIMES IN 6 YEARS. NOW THAT'S CHANGE WE CAN DO WITHOUT!!
Obama/Biden 08

Obama he don't know what to do again. Change you can beieve in. Not!

As usual, the crisis was addressed briefly. Tranaslated… there was no plan. Other than the usual negative rhetoric, there seems to be no plans other than "drill baby drill".

Palin's pastor, Larry Kroon, warns God "is gonna strike out his hand against" America

Seriously, you american people are dumb if you vote the republicans again. Why do I say this ?
The republican presidents of the past have been a disaster in all ways possible. The best thing is that, the repugs have been the worst at foreign policy which has been shaped foolishly. Obama pointed out that pakistan is using the funds that USA provides , to prepare for war against India.
The republican presidents of the past sided with muslim pakistan against Hindu India. As a result India had no other choice but to side with the Soviet Union.
Well, we have no regrets because, atleast the soviets/russians keep their word and thanks to them, India is a global power today. The USA lost a valuable partner because of the idiotic foreign policy of the previous republican governments.

Obama has sound judgement and he got it right again in this foreign policy issue

Dustin
Those are not Obama's ideas half of america knows that. The messiah doesn't have one original idea of his own and takes credit for common knowledge. GEE

Palin has no clue of what she is talking about. I saw her at the Colorado Rally today with McCain reading from a scripted speech. It looked pathetic compared to the nice speech she gave at the RNC convention. At some point she won't be the minimum speaking Rock Star presence at McCain's side for too long, then it is over. McCain is using this poor delusional woman politically just like he used Cindy McCain politically, or more specifically Cindy dad's connections.

Palin was a newscaster in prior life .. she SURE CAN READ that prompter!

Do they have promters at the debates? do they have promters at press conferences?

McCain is so dull and boring he should take a nap in a rocking chair lkes he makes me do.

I respect his service to our country but he has no more energy now and doesn't inspire me at all.

"McCain and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, addressed the crisis briefly at a rally in Colorado Springs, Colo."

…yes, that's all they can do- address it briefly - with no plan -specific or otherwise. McCain has been in Washington for nearly 3 decades - why didn't he do something then!!!!

McCain is a Republican: didn't seem to mind big Fannie and Freddie up to a month ago … thought the GOP was for smaller government.

Just waiting for Sarah to get out on her own - what she knows about the big issues could be put in a very small thimble.

Remember: Jesus was a Community Organizer.
Pontius Pilot was a Governor.

Paula Authier,you are one smart person !!! You are 100 times smarter then Palin.Republicans can't stick to anything but ignorance.Obama knows more about budgets and money then McCain who does not know what or what he does not own.One thing is clear he and Palin own the Bush policies.And please everyone quit calling Palin a pitbull,this is an insult to every pitbull out there, and my dog is very upset at the insuation.She is one tough dog and comes up with everything on her own and will answer anbody, anytime,anyplace.There is absolutley no similarities whatsoever between a pit bull and Sarah the Poodle.

Re:: Lone Star Wolf

"Take it from me a 51-year veteran of the Democrat party that has seen the light."

51 year veteran so that maker you what, 69 or 70 at the least? You don't have to believe and experience doesn't mean squat! This election is about the YOUTH! We will show on on November 4th! I'm a proud Democrat.

P.S. Your probably the one of many that gets polled, but that you don't hear about.. Yep senior citizen just as I thought, it's not up to you this year

All we really need is stronger, much tighter regulation on all lender/bankers. The 8 year GOP camp have allowed our cooperations to do as they please. Keep them honest if you please!!!

You poor poor liberals. I can't tell you how much I enjoy seeing you and your party imploded since a vibrent, smart, hardworking, straight talking, consertive hit the campain. It's everything your not and it pains you to watch it.

I am excited for the republican ticket and am having a blast watching your party fumble and try to figure out how to deal with such a worthy apponent. Every bitter comment is proof that McCain made a great choice for VP….

Please keep up the bitter, BS.

What is Palin talking about? These are not government entities. She can't make them smaller. That would be nice, but it doesn't sound like she knows what she's talking about. Now if the gov't takes them over, they'll be much smaller whoever is president.

You people need to report the truth about sarah is rude crude and this women will not vote for mccain or her she got her brother-in-law fired
she said the same speech Wednesday and yesterday and today.. almost word for word…she is a lier and about the flags you people need to report mccain people stole the flags put them in jail………………..sarah needs to take care of her son who is 4 months old…My son also is special needs and he takes alot of work…….Sarah bad choice bad for Our Country
she is a PitBull with lipstick just like Bush very rude and mean she would kill us all….and mccain sorry you cheated on your 1st wife and so you have no support from me…Thou shall not comment adultery

So far on this issue, I think Obama is at least talking about specifics…and has talked to officials on the problem. All McCain and esp. Palin did was make a couple of statements. Obama answered questions afterwards with reporters. McCain, and again, Palin don't have questions afterward their stump speech.. Palin is still being trained. How does making these agencies smaller going to help stablize the mortgage industry and shore up mortgages. Obama answered by stating some regulations need to be in place and enforced to keep CEO's and investors from getting huge profits and homeowners expense.

Obama states his position clearly for what is happening now; Palin and McCain use it as a political gimmick not stating what their position is RIGHT NOW as the situation develops but offering some fuzzy talk about making things "smaller and smarter" at some future time.

If these two frauds are going to change things, why have two Bush advisors been hired to manage Palin's campaign. Bush talked about change too and voters bought it TWICE.

ENOUGH~!!!!!!!!

All this crap about experience. I admit it. I don't care about experience. I care what your vision is for America and whether I believe whether you have what it takes to bring about that vision.

Experience can indicate whether you can bring it about, but so does leadership ability, intelligence, followership (who's following you), the state of CONgress, the mood of the country and knowledge of a broad set of facts.

We currently have a VP with VAST experience. SO WHAT? I would say his experience has left him stuck in the past and convinced that everything is a nail because he has a hammer. I'm not saying experience is irrelevant, but it's a means to an end, not the end itself.

McCain is not Bush. That is just political trash talk……anyone with half a brain knows that.

Political parties stick together like the democrats are doing right now.
Look at what happened to Hillary…..how the DNC, Obama dissed her and cheated history…yet she is out there supporting and campaigning for him. She is even going to be part of the female hit squad that Obama is about to send out to get Sarah Palin. Even Oprah is throwing her punch also. I supported Hillary.

Listening to Obama today, it was easy to think him a conservative based on his words to the innocents sitting around him. Of course, most of us know him as the raving liberal that he is. Go figure!

Give McCain/Palin a chance to make their case.

Moderators, these comments in caps, with spaces are getting out of hand. If people make a legitimate comment, it is not posted, if people make outlandish, foolish comments they appear. Please, moderate!

And to all those who really think the Dems threw out thousands of flags, after having rolled them up nicely, you are true believers in the spin from the GOP. I know a lot of people who despise W and not one of them would ever throw out an American flag. We happen to love our Country just as much as you all do, we just don't drink the kool aide from the right. It is because we love America that we want change, not the McCain, same old tired lame crap we have been getting from W and Cheney. It is so like the GOP to steal something paid for with the money of another party, use it, and make up lies about it all. I know republicans aren't good with money but if you would have just asked the Dems, they would have let you have them.

You poor poor liberals. I can't tell you how much I have seen you and your party imploded since a vibrent, smart, hardworking, straight talking, consertive hit the campain. It's everything your not and it pains you to watch it.

I am excited for the republican ticket and am having a blast watching your party fumble and try to figure out how to deal with such a worthy apponent. Every bitter comment is proof that McCain made a great choice for VP….

Please keep up the bitter, BS.

Carl Cameron at Fox set this up, just like he fabricated Kerry quotes in October, 2004.

More g.o.p. thuggery, lies, and deception.

Did you hear that Palin wanted to ban Catcher in the Rye and The Canterbury Tales at her local library?
Report on that CNN

The world is going to end……

John Bush McPalin says this election is about personalities, its not about issues!

What does this mean for you?

Forget about your health care
Forget about the economy and job losses
Forget about your sons and daughters in Iraq
Forget about McCain voting with Bush over 90% of the time
Forget about scholarships and student aid
For get about social security
Forget about the banks that are failing
Forget about losing your home
Forget about equal pay for women
Forget about the fact that Sarah Palin cut health care funding for children in alaska
Forget about renewable energy for the future …drill baby drill
Forget about bin laden in Afghanistan
Forget about the fact that CINDY McCAIN has ties to an abortion facility in arizona (google)
Forget about the fact that SARAH PALIN CALLED HILLARY A WHINER
Forget about the fact that Sarah McPalin hurls a lot of insults yet she cannot support her claims and is thus avoiding to answer tough questions from the national media and this is the woman who calls herself a "barracuda" and "lipstick pitbull".

Ladies and Gentlemen, John Bush McPalin simply want you to keep your eyes focused on BEAUTY and the McBEAST!

Cnn, please post my comments! What did I do to deserve this treatment??? I only speak the truth!

I'm disgusted with America.

Seriously, were not voting for OBAMA in 08 because he's black? LMFAO. You know what will happen to this country once Mccain takes office? Imagine 8 more years of the same bull! Imagine gas prices in the teens. Imagine. IMAGINE. IMAGINE.

YOU PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID.
YOU BELIEVE ANY AND EVERYTHING MAINSTREAM PUTS ON TELEVISION? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

Well I'm not worried, if Mccain/Palin wins…. i'm moving back to England. You all can have this God forsaken country!

OBAMA '08.

MCBUSH HAS 7 HOUSES.

BUSH HAS A 1600 ACRE RANCH.

ALL THEIR FRIENDS HAVE MADE BANK.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU AMERICANS ? DON'T

LIKE LOOSING THAT ONE SMALL HOUSE YOU CALL HOME.

TOUGH LUCK. YOU MUST'VE DONE SOMETHING WRONG.

YOU VOTED FOR BUSH. NOW HIS SIDE KICK WANTS TO

GIVE YOU MORE OF THE SAME. GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK.

DEM are crying like little Boys and Girls, and now the Liberals are also crying. Get over it we all know that the Latinos Community does not believe OBAMA. He is such a FAKE and a crybaby. The Hispanic people (Latinos) know very clearly crstal clear that OBAMA is not for the Latino people why because the truth hurt we the LATINOS people are the biggest minority in the United States of America and OBAMA just happen to hate that. We the Latinos people know a real true AMERICAN hero and that is John McCain.

LATINOS WAKE UP it time for the McCain/Palin 08

McCain/Palin 08

McCain and his running mate, said nothing…it was sort of a caveat to their scripted speeches. Obama confronted the press with a Q&A discussion as a leader talking with common sense and someone in tune to what's going on, with viewpoints and solutions for a package that does not harm the American people, but consider country first. That's putting country first, McCain and camp.

Operation Flag Rescue? People you need to wake up and learn flag Etiquette! First of all these flags were bagged and rolled up. Secondly they were PLASTIC FLAGS…LITTLE GARDEN TYPE FLAGS!! THEY WERE NOT REAL FLAGS!!! I THROW LOTS OF PLASTIC FLAGS AWAY ALL THE TIME! Heck I see more people in this coutnry flying flags in the dark! YOU NEED TO HAVE PROPER LIGHTING IN THE FLAG DURNING DARKNESS!!! This is just another ploy by our wonderful right in this country to drudge up an issues because they have no issues to discuss. Wake up America you are being played like a fiddle and the worst part is you know it and allow it!

READ ALL ABOUT MISS PALIN PEOPLE. CLICK ABOVE

Please people google…. Anne Kilkinney ….you will find out who the real Sarah Palin is

As Americans we should all be ashamed to have people like mcsame representing this great country. Suddenly its okay to be a nobody and suddenly its okay to want change. Why is it everytime Obama says something or puts a worldly idea out in the media the mcain campaign or the bush adminstration pick up on it and run with it. Obama and biden asked for 1 billion in relief for georgia. Two weeks later the bush admin.is giving georgia 1 billion in relief. Mccain said we shouldnt meet with our enemies. Obama says he would. 2 months later whose meeting with one of our biggest ememies? The bush admin. (Condaleeza). Now Obama has been running his campign on the theme "change" for 2 years. Now out of the blue mcsame is the "change" guy? I really hope America has learned a lesson from the last eight years. So yes mcsame "change" is coming. You just wont be apart of it.

ENOUGH!!!!!!!

Obama/Biden 08

yowza. Juan Carlos aka WOWOW aka Joe Kiloz is foaming at the mouth today. As always, I donate $5 to the Obama campaign for each of his posts. I will be making out shortly.

Letting the Republicans fix the economy and the mortgage crises is like asking the Fox to guard the hen house.

Lobbyists ate the money and its Republicans fault for the disaster in this country

So you say Obama doesn't have the experience to be President?

Obama opposed the war…he was right

Obama wanted troop reduction and withdrawal from iraq…bush executed an order to reduce troops in iraq a couple weeks later

Obama wanted the original war to be in afghanistan and pakistan…he was right, thats where the terrorists were training

Obama wanted a clear analysis of the Georgian conflict before a decision…he was right again by actually analyzing the situation first

OBAMA CREATED A PLATFORM OF CHANGE THAT INSPIRES MILLIONS OF AMERICANS (ESPECIALLY YOUNG AMERICANS) EVERYDAY……mccain followed suit

This is such a clear cut decision, the experience factor doesn't even matter anymore, Obama has proved himself capable of making the right decisions through sound judgement and analysis every single time…WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT!!!!

Palin an expert on Fannie and Freddie? I really miss Tim Russert.

By smaller does she mean giving more of our mortgages to China?

THE BUSH SIDEKICK HAS TOLD US THIS ELECTION

IS NOT ABOUT ISSUES. THE SENILE OLD MAN HAS

7 HOUSES, AND OUR ONE THAT IS GOING BACK TO

THE BANK IS NOT AN ISSUE WORTH NOTING. SOME

FOLKS CAN'T AFFORD THE GAS IT TAKES TO VISIT

THEIR BANK TO EVEN ASK FOR HELP. HE IS OUT OF HIS MIND.

For a man who does not like to talk about being a POW , I was sure getting sick of him using it for every gaff he made. Now that is all we are hearing from his soul mate. As for McSenile being a maverick, his own man , why didn't he pick his very , very good traitor Joe Lie -n-man John McSenile stoled the dems leftover flags and their change slogan all in one week. OBAMA/BIDEN 08
Connie from "blue" Indiana

BO is such a FLOP.

He is suffering from serious IMPOSTOR SYNDROME!

McCain/Palin Woohooo

Senator Obama is the past! Governor Palin is the future!

Obama made his way up on patronage politics - Palin reformed that type of corruption!

Two young politicians but only one, Governor Palin, will deliver the change America can believe in!

McCain/Palin 08!

I'm for helping the people out who really got cheated but it needs to be looked into, some of these people took out loans and HOPED the could pay the mortgage.

If Palin is not ready for the press, how can she be ready to be President? She has slanted everything( library, bridge, jet, eloping pregnant) she did in Alaska as Gov also. Who would trust anything she says!

Now I know why he picked her! McCain can't deliver a speech no matter how good the writer was. Palin can read those speeches and really get the crowds going. Oh, and don't forget about the oil.

Sounds even better for a true name.

Looks like privatization isn't always the best thing…maybe republicans will learn from this before they gamble with social security and make it private.

Sounds more accurate than barracuda…

Dear Sarah:

Lesson #1: Fannie and Freddie are not "getting too big and too expensive for the taxpayers.." They are not costing tax payers anything now. Before the current crisis they enabled the entire mortgage market to exist and thrive without tax payer funds. That was the whole point. A taxpayer cost will be incurred only in the event of a takeover. That is like now, after decades of success before Reagan and the Bushes.

The difficulty is the sweeping deregulation that allows lenders to write bad paper and Freddie and Fannie to buy it.

Keep tuning in off and on, Sarah, and do keep talking - it shows how dumb you are.

At least McCain knows how many states there are in the United States - a point I demand my president knows. As to McCain's son and Silver State Bank, can someone check out Hunter Biden and the securities fraud suit in which he has been named a defendant - and the sweetheart deals his daddy has with MDNA (BANK!)? Have to wonder how much trouble they are having? Maybe we should ask Schumer to check them ALL out!

BCBUSH HAS 7 HOUSES.

HE HAS BEEN IN WASHINGTON FOR 26 YEARS. &

HE GOT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING DONE FOR US

CITIZENS. OH SORRY I'M WRONG, HE RELIEVED US OF

OUR TAX DOLLARS BY SENDING THEM TO IRAQ & GEORGIA.

Mayor Sarah Palin drew up a list of books she wanted banned and removed from the Wasilla Library. The librarian refused to remove the books.

The librarian was fired.

Who is the patriot, and who is the fascist NAZI?

if you look at Pallin's response it is hard to imagine that she has any clue to what the situation is…yet another puppet.

McCain didn't shed any light on the situation either.

At least obama demonstrated comprehension of the situation.

m

More Hurricanes coming China, Asia and California. Fires. Fires!
Fires. No trees flooding! I could tell you when and where but won't not for my life. My family hurt and not while Palin is on the Ticket or in or near the white house.

Does everyone remember McCain's response when the mortgage crisis hit a new low back in the spring?

He was not giving "tough love", but rather, he was saying "TOUGH LUCK"

This man has NO CLUE about mortgage trouble. Heck, he should give some of his houses to someone needy. OR
How about using one of your seven houses to house hurricane victims?

Does anyone know what Obama knows of the mortgage crisis? Does he have a plan to help the ones needing help.? If he does has he told anyone? I KNOW THE ANSWER. HE DOES NOT HAVE A CLUE. GO AHEAD AMERICA PUT THIS EMPTY SUIT INTO THE OVAL OFFICE. That will be a lot more of a crisis than the mortgage situation. Because it won't matter then you won't have a country left to have a home in it. When the Muslims take over, it will be worse than Nazi occupied Europe.

Congress is out of CONTROL!!!!!!!! They are the do nothings…except when it comes to spending. Obama requested $330 million in earmarks for IL last year…doesn't anyone think that's outrageous? No way can we afford to have a Democratic Congress and a Democratic President!

McCain/Palin 08……THE ONLY CHOICE!

THE GOP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE WHO'S NOT RICH! How many ways do they have to show you before you people get it?

This isn't the party of Lincoln.

Dear Friends:

What is the unemployment in Alaska? Who is getting laid off!
Friends.

our problems are results of corruption, in November

complicit Dems and Repubs will be routed out by a free press

Do not penalize taxpayers……for criminals within our system or for those who knew better and turned a blind eye, or for those who were simply bought and paid for.

start investigating! and send criminals to JAIL…..

BAILOUTS ARE NOT A REAL ANSWER!……….PRESS ON FOR ACCOUNTABILITY,

INDICTMENTS ARE !

YES TO THE RULE OF LAW

and all will be well

The Anne Kilkenny letter was an eye opener. Check it out.

Scott L.

The flags were stolen and therefore used by McSame as stolen property. Put him in jail before it is to late - His campaigned distributed stolen property!

Another Republican administration, another financial meltdown and taxpayer bailout, the beat goes on, is anyone liking the music???

If Palin is so smart, why won't she come out and face the press?

According to McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds, "Gov. Palin was fully vetted as previously described and we are no longer commenting on the vetting process, She was selected, is qualified and is ready to serve."

Apparently being "qualified” and “ready to serve" doesn't mean answering questions and defending her record and positions and the party platform.

Democrats controlling Congress. How long……….If im correct I believe the Republicans controlled Congress for 6 of the last 8 years. I truly believe this economy has been messed up long before Congress was controlled by the Democrats. People think….think….I don't care if you have a lot of money. Does it still make since to pay $4 and $5 for a gallon of gas? Does it make since for people to be losing their homes daily? Does it make since for innocent young men and wome to be losing their lives in a war that has no meaning?

hey had anybody realize theres a pattern in the election race found that pattern and youll find out who won

POW/PTA out of touch withtax payers

The republican campaign chairman says the election is about personality not issues meaning:

Forget about your health care
Forget about the economy and job losses
Forget about your sons and daughter in iraq
Forget about McCain voting with Bush over 90% of the time to mess up the economy
Forget about scholarships and student aid
For get about social security
Forget about the banks that are failing.
Forget about losing your homes
Forget about equal pay for women
Forget about the fact that sarah palin cut health care funding for children in alaska
Forget about renewable energy for the future…drill drill drill
Forget about bin laden in afghanistan, lets hope we get some oil in iraq
Forget about the fact that CINDY McCAIN has ties to an abortion facility in arizona (google)
Forget about the fact that SARAH PALIN CALLED HILLARY A WHINNER.
Forget about the fact that sarah is avoiding the press to answer questions on the issues.

Just keep your eyes on the OLD and the BEAUTIFUL

This scares me

obama again showing what a lightweight he is

GO HILLARY 2012

I suppose Obama's community organizing days and McCain's POW days make them both instant economic experts…

(see Obamabots, I can slam both sides equally fair!)

Back in July, I received my "economic stimulas" check……Bush's plan that was going to rev up our economy (that worked real well didn't it:?) I stashed that check away, just to make sure I'd have enough to pay my property taxes. Butl after listening to McCain (McBush) and his new adornment he picked to get him some much needed attention, I'm sending that money right to Obama. So from Bush to Obama. I feel great about that; truly the best thing I could do for our economy.

Wait until the Republicans start re-running the Rev. Wright commercials and then using the Flags story…man oh man Obama is toast!

Its really sad to see how politicians on all sides think the electorate is so stupid. Obama's big attention getting mantras:
1. McCain = Bush. He does this because he is afraid to take on McCain 1:1. Of course McCain is a republican, but he has a proven career of independence on critical issues. Obama has no such record.
2. McCain wants to spend 10 billion/month in Iraq for next 100 years. Of course this is a gross distortion. In any case, Obama says he will do the same in Afghanistan, so its not as if the money won't be spent.
3. McCain thinks you are rich only if you make 5 million. This is just stupid. McCain's point was that he doesn't want to tax anyone more than anyone else. Granted he should have said '5 gazillion' instead of 5 million, but the point is the same. Obama can't even be honest on easy issues, and he has always avoided taking risks. He is unlikely to impliment tough changes.

McShame, do the math Sarah Palin= 57 electoral votes.
She is being used by McShame for his political gain and she is to stupid so see it.
AND THIS ARE THE PEOPLE YOU WANT GOVERNING THE USA?

NO THANKS, OBAMA IS THE GUY FOR ME!

Palin is a fake! I have tried to get CNN to post this comment all day concerning her love of earmarks, but says she is against them, but I guess CNN wants to keep Palin a likeable hockey mom. Voters, all we hear about is McCain's new lady but check this out: http://www.washingtonindependent.com/4346/palin-on-earmarks-we-did-well

Palin, you are a disgraceful, thoughtless, and empty candidate. As a woman I will never vote for you!

CNN why do you refuse to post my comments!?

This another subject Obama has no experience in. The problems keep cropping up. And the Democrats have no answers. Take it from me a 51-year veteran of the Democrat party that has seen the light. They are in politics for their financial future not yours. Obama is not a man to put into the Oval office at this time. Let him get about ten more years of experience then bring him back. He may be great then if he keeps his nose clean and away from all the trash he has been dealing with.

I fail to see where McCain and his neocon sidekick, Palin, can claim to have any answers when the neocons have already had 8 years to get it right. It's time for the neocons to move aside - they're policies have been completely discredited by historical fact.

Whatever McCain USED to stand for, he has now chosen to become another tool of the neocon movement

Everything doesn't have to be smaller and smarter Palin. Think for a little and realize that the GOP administration is taking them over. And you wanted less government?

You guys are walking contradictions. You're looking even more foolish because you're being told what to say.

I'd really like you and Johnny boy there to start fielding questions from the press rather than reading sanitized releases off index cards.

What happened to straight talk? You didn't like the questions?

thank god palin will be gone on wensday i cant bear to listen for mccain and palin any longer

well if things continue, since obama has led the way on just about everything, from going into pakistan when the intelligence is there (mccain would go to hell but not pakistan), on not going to iraq to begin with, focusing more on afghanistan, and and international response to russia, not to mention top level talks with our enemies, i expect bush and mccain to flip flop on the 2nd stimulus package as well

Oh I wonder if this comment section will be closed after 25? guess we'll have to see.

As far as I know….just two months ago McCain voted to bail out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Must be that he forgot his vote.

Can someone remind the forgetful McCain that his son is or was on the board of the Silver State Bank in Arizona that also failed today. He conveniantly resigned 2 weeks ago for 'family reasons'.

Do these people ever stick around and take responsibility for anything?
