		<description>I find it disturbing the GOP would try to downplay the humility and selfishness involved in being a community organizer. I really find there whole campaign disturbing so I guess there comments don&#039;t surprise me.  

WHY IS SARAH PALIN STILL IN HIDING?</description>

		<description>Finally the Obama camp is taking some good stabs back at the Palin comments.  I&#039;m sick of her repeating the same tired speech every where they show up. Of course Obama and Biden are out there pushing issues and letting thier opinions be known, but the Republicans keep throwing out the same red meat rhetoric but the American people keep eating it up as if its something new.  I hope that red meat is going to be enough to get food on your table and gas in your car to where you can still afford to pay your mortgage and health care.  You can drill all you want to and it will not be enough to cover our usage.  And even if you drill that oil is going to be sold on the open market and if we are not the highest bidder then that oil isn&#039;t even being used for Americans.  Let give the oil companies more ways to make more money at our expense.  Keep it up evangelical Americans, I&#039;m sure your churches will be happy and you will be considered saviors by not voting Democrat</description>

		<description>McCain-Palin should be ashamed of themselves for trying to belittle the work of Obama. Palin would not survive one day in Southside Chicago much less work for people who actually need help!</description>

		<description>It was not funny seeing the leaders of the republican party making fun of a college student giving his time and efforts to the communities in Chicago who had fallen on hard times.  Obama, a man who could go anywhere do anything travel back to Hawaii during his summers, decided to help others.  This country has it&#039;s priorities all wrong when they find fault to people who reach out to others in need of help.  I suppose the Americorp members who are still helping Katrina victims will be laughed and mocked also with nothing said about it.  If Obama would have behaved that way this country would have been outraged, but it was okay for the do no wrong republican party to insult millions of young people who choose to serve our fellow citizens by performing community service.  I guess the only honorable young people these days are the ones who suit up to fight a dumb war in Iraq where its citizens are shouting get the heck out of our country.</description>

		<description>I am a person who listens to both sides of the story before making  a final decision on an important matter. After witnessing the most lowdown, lying, cheating, devious, deliberate act of deception on the american people from the George W. Bush and company administration and &quot;How to steel an election campaign&quot; you would think that people would recognize a Devil that would try to find a skirt to pimp, and get all heads both male/female to give this Palin person a nod of approval eventhough we still don&#039;t know who the hell she is, are we expected to just up and vote for McCain/Palin simply to make history and still suffer the same fate as we did over the past eight years. Lately this talk about &quot;pitbulls, pigs, and lipstick&quot; is a big deal among white voters and it seems to generate a lot excitement within the Republican click, that is untill a black man mentions an old remark that even Palins running mate and others out of that party said, but all of a sudden it&#039;s a sexest remark and the media wants to eat that crap up and paint her as the innocent and injured victim but at the same time she can try to belittle someone who has a record of teaching, and consuling unemployed workers, promoting education, speaking in public arena&#039;s to try and give people some kind of hope and knowing that Barack Obama has been preparing himself for the white house all of his life...Well surprise america that day is upon us and sixty (60%) percent of us can&#039;t except the fact that a black man will be the president of the U.S. and bring this country out of the recession that it has been in for far to long and make changes that will put the people first. I pray to God that we don&#039;t miss this opportunity to give ourselves a chance to make this &quot;CHANGE&quot;.</description>

		<description>When Barack was a community organizer, his position was funded by the Catholic Charities.  So Sarah Palin, Rudy Giuliani and other Republicans are mocking the Catholic Church and its ministry to the poor and downtrodden when they mock Obama.

I call for the Pope to denounce Sarah Palin and Rudy Giuliani (although I think the Pope gave up on Rudy when he started showing up in dresses and makeup).</description>

		<description>Community organization is the cornerstone of every good program that exists to help our fellow citizens of this planet.  Whether those citizens are the human caretakers of the planet, or the animals and plants that inhabit it . . . or the planet itself!  

We believe in something greater than ourselves.  Something that transcends our personal lives and egos.  We care enough to put our blood, sweat, tears, efforts, money, time, and voices to making a difference so that we and others will ALL be better off.  

We believe that we can make a difference, even if it is with only one person, one animal, one issue at a time.</description>

		<description>Senator Obama could have made a fortune with his Harvard law degree, but intead chose to serve his community. And this is the guy the Republicans call an &quot;elitist&quot;? 

Governor Palin spoke of her responsibilities as mayor being greater than Obama&#039;s as a community organizer. I&#039;m sure Obama dealt with more people and more diverse issues in Chicago than Palin ever did in a town with a population fewer than the attendance at a minor league ball park. Jon Stewart said it best: Palin is better qualified to host a &quot;Northern Exposure&quot; reunion show than being Vice President.</description>

		<description>The GOP only help their own people.  Helping those in need in the country is foreign to them. The GOP are nothing but hot air, smoke and mirrors. Working to help people in need within a community is not only a Christian thing to do, it is also patriotic.

I hope the public starts listening to how the candidates plan to tackle the real issues the country faces. Enough of the Republican smear tactics. The GOP is sticking to the smoke and mirrors because they have no real solutions. I can&#039;t believe that the country is rocking with outrage against the Republicans and George Bush - McCain and Palin included.</description>

		<description>My image of McCain used to be pretty much what he is trying to sell to me now. But it just isn&#039;t so anymore. It&#039;s a sad thing, because this extremist, religious right has hijacked the Republican party. My brother-in-law has been a Republican all his life and a very smart one. I don&#039;t always agree with him, but I always respect the thought and intelligence that goes into his positions. 

I don&#039;t know who he voted for in 2000, but in &#039;04 he voted Kerry, perhaps the first Democrat he ever voted for for President. He is voting for Obama. He has teenage sons whom he doesn&#039;t want to see in Iraq (he was in Vietnam) and he is intelligent enough to see through the nonsense the Reps are spouting.

The thing is, I might have considered voting for the McCain that they are trying to sell me, but he never would have made it to the top of the ticket of such an extremist party. I do feel for him in that. He thinks he has something to offer, but he has to lose himself to be allowed to offer it.

Some compromise is inevitable, no matter who wins. Obama gets that, and I won&#039;t agree with everything he does in order to facilitate change and movement in Washington. But McCain sold his soul to the right wing fanatics, and I cannot trust him as my President. If I had any hope that he would veer back to the center upon entering office, it was dashed when he chose Ms. My Values Are Better Than Yours for his running mate, and embraced her insane stances on everything that should have no place in government.  In fact...

Why is it that the Reps scream &#039;smaller government&#039; out of one side of their mouths, but then demand legislation on everything from my womb to who can marry? Why does THAT have a place in national government but keeping Social Security safe for the next generation doesn&#039;t?</description>

		<description>Women would not have the right to vote without the great community organizer Susan B. Anthony.  The American Red Cross would not have been formed without the great community organizer Clara Barton.  Without the great community organizer Benjamin Franklin public libraries and volunteer fire departments would not have been formed. Ghandi the great community organizer, organized the people of India to rebel against British rule through non-violent protest.  Shame on you, Sarah Palin, for not understanding the contribution of community organizers to the betterment of our world.</description>

Obama for President!</description>

		<description>Being an &quot;organizer&quot; within your community is a pretty general term and no doubt can be applied to various types of community involvement.  Still, when your bold experience on your resume is community organizing as justification for being President of the United States that puts it into a much different perspective.  

Even still, this is more of the same rhetoric and we&#039;ve heard it from the democrat side as well.  Wesley Clark made comments saying being shot down over Vietnam isn&#039;t reason enough to make you President.

Maybe not, but there&#039;s a difference between serving your country and serving your own personal agenda.  Community organizing in Chicago is just a means of polarizing the community against itself.  Obama&#039;s knee deep in racial politics and his agenda isn&#039;t anything less than turning communities against each other.

As for republicans being elitist?  Which party leaders asked if Obama was &quot;black enough&quot; or &quot;down for the struggle?&quot;  Which party leaders have gone against their comments about womens rights, equal treatment?  

The only comments degrading anyone&#039;s race and gender have come from the democrat party and the main stream media.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being an "organizer" within your community is a pretty general term and no doubt can be applied to various types of community involvement.  Still, when your bold experience on your resume is community organizing as justification for being President of the United States that puts it into a much different perspective.  </p>
<p>Even still, this is more of the same rhetoric and we've heard it from the democrat side as well.  Wesley Clark made comments saying being shot down over Vietnam isn't reason enough to make you President.</p>

Does Aires, a known U.S. terrorist Blog on his website?</description>

		<description>Republicans are suppose to represent conservatism and good christian morals, funny the way they have been behaving doesn&#039;t seem to support their base!  They seem to be playing really dirty by making nastly insinuations with their gross ads, I don&#039;t think that is either behaving conservatively or in a christian manner.  It makes me really wonder if they trully embrace those ideals, or do they just know how to play the trully confused people of this nation!</description>

		<description>Americans clearly aren&#039;t paying attention to these types of flip-flops by John McCain. He&#039;s the worst Republican nominee I&#039;ve seen in a VERY long time. He used Sarah Palin&#039;s nomination purely as a strategic political move and he continues to say whatever he can to CHANGE the face of this election. Wake up and pay attention to the issues people!</description>

		<description>Without community organizers like Susan B. Anthony, women would not have the right to vote.

And speaking of voting, there is an article out right now about how the GOP is trying to keep folks from voting in Michigan- the targeted folks are people who have suffered the foreclosure crisis in poor neighborhoods, mainly African-American areas. 

The GOP is disputing that since they no longer have a residence, they are no longer eligible to vote.  They literally plan to bar folks from voting on election day.  How about that? Because of the mortgage meltdown, folks not only lose their homes but their right to vote!

Moreover, GOP across the country are beginning to take that lead as well in Pennsylvania and Ohio.  It&#039;s time for community organizers to step in.</description>

		<description>Sarah Palin during her vice presidential nomination acceptance speech last week, “What’s the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick.”  The democrats and Senator Obama never thought she was referring to Senator Obama, they could have said he was referring to the Senator  Obama in that statement but  McCains camp have no shame playing low down dirty tactics. It is shameful and disgraceful for a major political party to &quot;Republican party&quot;  avoid dealing with issues that have become very critical to the citizens of American, instead they are telling lies to their political gain. I never really know that this particular political party that tend to prove they are righteous can come so low in telling lies. Where does telling lies apply to their principles of being moral right?

Do we really want these people as the next leaders of this great country?

Vote for change.

		<description>Does America have more racists than patriots?  John McCain says &quot;I will get Bin Laden when I&#039;m president&quot; 

He&#039;s holding us hostage (in fear no less) for America to elect him so that he can be the one that gets Bin Laden.  That&#039;s Treason ...isn&#039;t it?

I really don&#039;t like repubs at all.  They are the most anti-USA I&#039;ve every seen.  They hate Barack because of his color and all but the native indians are from elsewhere.  Hypocrits ....one and all.  

John McCain would make a polecat puke</description>

		<description>First of all, Palin did not slam &quot;community organizers&quot;. She just likened the work as similar to that of a mayor&#039;s, the difference being, a mayor is answerable to constituents, and has budget constraints and responsibilities etc.

If you are so easily offended, you need to get the &quot;boulder off the shoulder&quot;, not unlike Barack brushing Hillary off.</description>

He is a self taught, He has been in the puplic eye for  15 years.and still thats not enough? really what is wrong with this county Now Obamas words inspire me. And McCains word are  so bad at it , he is letting some one else do it.  I swear the sound of her voice go right though me.  The words she speaks over and over and over.  The word s make my weary. angery . helpless sad.   dose that not say anything.  McCain stand behind Palins skirt as she so carefully rapesthe truth.  I am not afraid to die.  I am scared to live in a county . that is unable to see and hear  what in right .  because there so ignorant.   were fat. dum most of us never bother to pick up a book.

		<description>I love how Obama is standing his ground. McCain and the rest of the crazies need to fall back and stop with disparaging Community Organizers. It was a stupid move on the part of the GOP to even go there, that&#039;s like crizicizing Mother Theresa, or Princess Diana for doing all of their charitable deeds. I would really like to know how these fools sleep at night? It&#039;s disgusting to think about their complete disregard for the people that carry our communities.  And its even more disgusting to see that these idiots still have die hard supporters. What is America coming to???

CNN please post this so the truth can be told.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love how Obama is standing his ground. McCain and the rest of the crazies need to fall back and stop with disparaging Community Organizers. It was a stupid move on the part of the GOP to even go there, that's like crizicizing Mother Theresa, or Princess Diana for doing all of their charitable deeds. I would really like to know how these fools sleep at night? It's disgusting to think about their complete disregard for the people that carry our communities.  And its even more disgusting to see that these idiots still have die hard supporters. What is America coming to???</p>

		<description>So it&#039;s ok to laugh about a person being a mayor of a small town and a Govenor of a less populated state than most and no one gets outraged, but there is outrage about him being a community organizer, and now I guess they are comparing him to Jesus, yet they hit Sarah Palin for asking for guidance from God in her efforts, what is wrong with this picture, this man is unbelievable and is followers are past cult like.</description>

		<description>A note to Obama and McCain:

We as Americans can see through all this smear. Im sick of it and I believe I speak for alot of people (left and right, both parties are to blame).

So to Obama, Please ignore these sophomoric comments, don&#039;t even respond to them. Stick to the issues and state your case, let the other side wallow in the mud with their silly insults and diversions. The Republican tactics have really become insulting to the average American, and although I am certainly aware that they are effective with some, I feel confident that anyone with a rational thinking mind  can see that these tactics are really a diversion from  an active debate regarding the pressing issues we face as a nation. We must move forward.

To McCain: Remember your roots, you were a well respected, honorable politician in the past who wasnt afraid to challenge the party line. What happened to you? I realize the Rove playbook has worked in the past, however, it comes with a cost - that being  your ability to be a trustworthy candidate in a time of great need.  If you really believe in &quot;Country First&quot; then act like it! This is getting pathetic!

Smear Tactics=No vision for our nations future.</description>

		<description>My prediction?  With the pick of Palin, John McCain has become more and more desperate.  We will now begin to watch this whole Republican facade unravel before our very eyes.  The win at all costs has made McCain look ridiculous.  He was once held in high esteem by a majority of the country.  We now see who he REALLY is - adulterous, Keating-5, lying, and totally without honor.</description>

WHAT I WILL PUT INTO QUESTION IS HIS HONOR AND HONESTY REMEMBER WHILE HE IS LYING ON THAT TABLE ALL BROKEN UP WHAT IS HE SAYING? HE IS PROFESSING HIS UNDYING LOVE FOR HIS WIFE! WELL WHAT DID THAT LOVE LEAD HIM TO DO AS SOON AS HE GOT HOME AND FOUND HIS WIFE 4 INCHES SHORTER DUE TO SHE HAD BEEN IN AN TERRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT THAT REQUIRED BONE TO BE TAKEN OUT OF HER LEGS LEAVING HER CRIPPLED THUS AS McCAIN TOLD OTHERS &quot;SHE WAS VERY UNATTRACTIVE TO HIM&quot; SO MUCH FOR LOVE AND HONOR.

ANOTHER THING I NOTICED IN HIS GRAND CELEBRATION OF THE CONVENTION IS HOW THEY HIGHLIGHTED HIS MEETING OF CINDY, THEY CONVEINTLY LEFT OUT THE FACT THAT HE WAS STILL A MARRIED MAN WITH A CRIPPLED WIFE (THAT STOOD BY HIM RAISING HIS CHILDREN THE ENTIRE TIME HE WAS &quot;SUFFERING WHILE CAPTURED&quot; ) AND THEIR THREE CHILDREN AT HOME. OH, YEAH THEY LEFT THAT OUT LEAVING US GOOD CLEAN A  LOVE STORY  TO WOO OVER! THEY ALSO LEFT OUT THE FACT THAT HE WAS STILL MARRIED TO FIRST WIFE WHEN HE FIRST FILED FOR A MARRIAGE LICENSE  AND WOULD NOT DIVORCE HER UNTIL 9 MONTHS LATER.

SO YOU SEE THIS ENTIRE STORY WAS A LIE, AND NASTY LIE! THIS MY FRIENDS IS THE MAN&#039;S TRUE USE OF WOMEN, EVEN THE WOMEN IN HIS LIFE SO WHAT DO YOU HONESTLY THINK YOU AND YOUR ISSUES WILL BE TO HIM OTHER THAN THE SAME PURPOSE PALIN&#039;S SERVES BUT TO PROMOTE HIS LIFE LONG OPPORTUNIST AMBITION?

		<description>So ReThuglicans hate people that graduate from Harvard and think that they are elite.  What parent would hate the fact that their child was accepted into Harvard?  These people want us to believe that a woman that went to five different universities in six years is stable and better than Biden as a VP?   Give me a break.
ReThuglicans never talk issues just slander and they are good at it too.
Please don&#039;t let McSame slither into office while hiding behind Palin&#039;s skirt.</description>

		<description>McCain camp does nothing but lie,

Why should we think that he wants change? Just because you have half the lobbyiste on the pay roll is that so you can start telling them with out having to pick up a phone? 

You can&#039;t have change Washington, if your team are the enemy you would thing that he would know better huh.

Seven top McCain officials were lobbyists, though the campaign stresses that none is currently registered to lobby Congress: • One: Campaign manager Rick Davis is a major telecommunications lobbyist. • Two: Senior foreign policy adviser Randy Scheunemann recently faced scrutiny over his foreign lobbying on behalf of the Republic of Georgia, which has been embroiled in a military conflict with Russia.
• Three: Senior adviser Charlie Black was a foreign lobbyist for dictators in Zaire and Angola in the 1980s, fodder for the liberal group MoveOn.org.
• Four: Frank Donatelli, the Republican National Committee&#039;s liaison to the McCain campaign, has had clients including Exxon Mobil.
• Five: Economic adviser Nancy Pfotenhauer has lobbied for corporate giants like Koch Industries.
• The final two lobbyists are McCain&#039;s congressional liaison, John Green, and national finance Co-chairman Wayne Berman. They both lobbied for Fannie Mae, the troubled mortgage giant.
