CNN

Did the same person write most of these comments? Wow, seems like the Obama people have a one track mind. McBush, real original. I use to name call when I was a little kid too. How mature. Do they really think that smart Americans think the President Bush and Senator McCain are the same people and share the same ideas? Who is living a lie. Talk about "more of the same". Boring.

Senator Obama wants to increase minimum wage, an entry level training wage, to $9.50/hr.. He wants to have universal health care. He wants kids who do community services to get paid by the government so they can go to college, what next, federal benefits too? Isn't that like giving them a government job? So who is going to pay for this socialist health care? Where does the money come from if he is cutting taxes to pay for all these wonderful things? Have you ever looked at the tax rates of countries like Germany or Great Britain who have universal health care? Try giving the government half your paycheck on for size. That should do your wallet good.

Did you ever here of inflation? Guess what will be in double digits if Senator Obama raises the minimum wage, enacts protectionism against China and other third world countries, and creates universal health care. Do you really believe he can cut taxes and do all these wonderful things provided by a bigger government? I was once his supporter, but the more I here him talk, the more I am weary of who he is and what he says. He is a great motivational speaker, but not a man I trust to make the hard decisions. I think every one started to see that near the end of Senator Clintons run, and believe me, I am no supporter of hers. I do thank Senator Clinton for making me aware there is another person behind the man you see on the stage.

If you don't believe you will have higher taxes and inflation vote Santa Claus/Obama/Biden 08.

If you want a man who has served this nation, has a history of working with both Democrats and Republicans and has voted against two Republican Presidents, then look at McCain with unbiased eyes. Forget what the media is saying on both sides. Look at the long record of Senator McCain for a man that will hear all sides and make a decision. I think you will find a man who will make sound judgments using the best people for advice, no matter what skin color, sex, religion or political party.

Please give Senator McCain a look. I was an Obama supporter, not anymore. The shine is gone from that new car, I like the older reliable one that keeps on truckin.

Okay everyone. here's the truth.

Obama's tax plan is lower than McCain's, on the surface.
McCain's tax plan is a little higher than Obama's, but Obama will let the Bush tax cuts expire, McCain won't.
If you know what the Bush tax cuts are, you will surely know that tax's will skyrocket if Obama is elected

Get Real.

Also, McCain has NEVER voted for a tax increase.

My question to Sarah Palin is this – What are you running for? Press Secretary???????????????????????????????

"....accusing Obama of wanting to raise payroll taxes, business taxes, investment income taxes and the estate tax.
....“His tax plans really would kill jobs and hurt small businesses and make even today’s bad economy look like the good old days.”

Palin's claims aren't exactly accurate: Obama would maintain the Bush tax cuts and offer tax breaks to individuals making under $250,000 a year."

Wow, those things aren't even related. Has everyone gone partisan-dumb? Please get some real reporters.

Palin now refuses subpoenas? How Rove/Cheney of her. We have seen every other candidate;s tax records. Let's see hers! All of this is sounding awfully familiar. Is scandal the Palin/McCain strategy? Because I cannot for the life of me understand what they are doing.

American should be smarter than this in choosing your President.

People of the world knows better....

I am living from paycheck to paycheck trying to make it through each day. I've heard what Obama wants to do to help, but nothing from mcCain/Palin. Stop looking at the woman factor, and after that is put aside you'll realize her leading 300 million is scary when she couldn't even lead her daughter to the pharmacy for condoms.

Poor lady, she read that mess from McSame's teleprompter. Thanks V. P. Biden for calling them the liars that they are.

I am sure the memebers of the audience does not earn 250K a year – so the increase in tax would not affect them in no way. Hope she added that part as part of her straight talk -

The Serial Liar is on the road again... Be careful!

Obama/Biden 2008

Palin won't cooperate with investigators huh?! The "Barracuda" is hiding something. SOMETHING IS STARTING TO STINK IN ALASKA!

Hey Sarah? Do you recall 2 months ago, when you praised Obama's Tax Plan? If I recall you called it, and I quote " A great plan for the American People"-My question to you is, What changed your mind?

More lies than Mr BAMA tells everyday?

He´s a BIG LIAR, DO NOTHING BUM.

NOBAMA! NOT IN A THOUSAND YEARS!

MCCAIN-PALIN!

She still hasn't learned her lesson yet! They're gonna keep calling you out on this stuff Ms. Palin!

Lord I pray that our nation really wake up and not let this election be a circus. With the economy going down the drain and some hot tempered candidates, we need peace and unity. Let thy Will be done for the good of ALL the people of this great nation.

I hope when this election is over that all of the DEMWITTED people move to Russia so they can live in the country of their beliefs

please stop using words like hammer and slam. those words act like she's got a point. how about criticize.

or- how about distorts- as your article cites her distortions. which should be the main story- her lack of integrity.

Ok I'll bite......HOW DO THE REPUBLICANS EXPECT AMERICA TO PAY ITS DEBTS WITHOUT TAX REVENUE?

We all better learn how to speak Cantonese or Mandarin real soon because China owns more our securities than we do. The republicans do not understand that when you owe that much to a foreign country / one for all intents and purposes is not an allie, its a security risk. They can literally "tank " the country. Why is the dollar flagging right now? Its the debt stupid (i.e. the economy).

What happened to republicans that once were fiscally conservative. Pay the bills? These current Repubs could care less how much debt our kids will have to pay off on behalf of their irresponsible spending.

Get a life Palin or take a course in macro economics.

Hey what happened to Country First! Individuals making more than $200k/year and couples making more $250k/year should put the Country First by paying more in taxes. They can certainly afford it.

The Obama plan will reduce taxes for families earning less than $250k/year. The vast majority of the businesses in the country are small companies that make less than $250k in profits so they should see a tax break as well.

McCain, like Bush, is putting the wealthy first. And, we know where that got the country.

I've never seen a ticket so pathic as the Rep ticket this year.

The Geezer and Gidget are making fools out of themselves on a daily basis. Pathetic.

Will SOMEONE tell Palin she is not an equal to OBAMA.

Someone please write her another speech................

Tuesday, September 16, 2008

Sarah Palin bests Joseph Biden 47% to 44% in a hypothetical head-to-head match-up for the presidency, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

Unbiased
To follow up on your list, I would add who would you think the enemies of this country would be more afraid of, Mr. McCain a war veteran a senator for many years, or Mr. Obama a communitty organiser with a 143 days in the US senate?

This Republican ticket has been a kick in the head. We, as Americans, have had many a good laugh these past weeks with the antics of McCain and Palin. But it's time to get serious.....McCain and Palin are starting to be armed (Palin anyway) and dangerous.

OBAMA/BIDEN

40% of Americans don't pay taxes so how can you say that you will cut taxes for 95% of American/it does not make sense and we all know that they promise the kitchen sink and when they get in office they don't come through

Hard telling what Obama will do with taxes. Depends on who he turns to for advice, because he certainly don't have a clue unless someone prints in for him and runs it on a teleprompter. He was so decisive about the war in Georgia. To paraphrase: "Ah gee whiz. Can't we all just be friends?" Guess he thought it was a playground spat.

Vote for an experienced decisive leader - Vote McCain

Sarah Palin wouldn't know the truth if it bit her on her rear-end. This has been demonstrated over and over and over and over. Has she no shame???

Obama has actually said that he does not blame McCain for the current economy just the economic policy that he endorses. That's on the record and point of fact–regardless of who put the policies in place, McCain DOES support them.

I would like a link to this Center for Tax Policy bc if McCain endorses making the Bush tax cuts permanent with no other real fiscal changes, I fail to see how this makes any tax relief across the board. I'm a single woman and I get taxed at 37%. I see NO relief at all.

Sorry Palin, but when I want economic advice I'll go to the experts and not some pageant queen hockey mom who's been in office for less than two years...

And those experts? They overwhelmingly favor Obama's plan.

Thanks, but no thanks!

People pay attention!!!!!!!!!!! I am so tired of hearing "I'm voting McCain because Obama is gunna raise taxes."

OBAMA WILL LOWER TAXES FOR 80 PERCENT OF AMERICANS. The only people whose taxes will go up are the top 20 percent (aka the upper crust of society) So unless you are making bank, YOUR TAXES WILL GO DOWN.

If you want LOWER TAXES, VOTE OBAMA!!!!

Palin/McCain is the way it should read on the signs! what I really want is for McCain to explain a man of his "Honor" to be so proud of the LIES they continue to tell. He was so against this I have lost ALL respect for this man!!!

Hats off to The View who was not afraid to nail him to the truth!
Great Job to those ladies that asked WHY? Maybe other journalists will stop tipping around him and his VP choice---

Obama/Biden 08

More lies from Miss Sarah. No surprise there.

Look, most folks supporting McCain and his little nazi bimbo Palin are seriously rich, seriously uneducated, seriously dumb, and / or seriously racist.

McCain and Palin should be ashamed to show up at church on Sunday. They have been "bearing false witness" time after time after time. What kind of example are these folks for kids? Is this how you win the highest office in the land? By lying as much as you can.

More LIES!

Stop the LIES

Your still lying!

McCain and his running "puppet" are just the strings which the corporations pull.

Let OBAMA have a chance, whats the worst that could happen? (Republicans have already proven they do not deserve a chance with they're LIES).

This is ludicrous and absurd. How can americans actually vote for McCain and Palin. The tactic that McCain pulled off to extend his VP offer to Palin was strictly a political move to gain votes from disgruntle Hilary voters and turn his campaign to one where republicans can be excited about. This is perfect example of how selfish and DESPERATE McCain is to win a election-that he will even put his own country at risk and leave this country vulnerable to inexperienced judgement god forbid if he was to past away. Look at his age, he is at the average life expectancy of an american. If he really cared about his country he would of made a competent and well thought out decision. Its a scary feeling knowing Palin has a chance at being our president, just look at the Charlie Gibson interview she would not have a clue of what to do. And just to think she will have her hands on nuclear codes-God Bless America.

At one time, John McCane was a man I greatly respected and trusted. That was the McCane of 1990. In his desperate quest for the presidency in 2008 has emerged a totally different person. His choice of Sarah Palin as VP knowing he is a man 72 years old and with a history of cancer, shows the integrity of the McCane I so liked has been lost in his quest to win. The McCane of 1990 would neither like or vote for the McCane today. Very sad.......

A Senior Southern Lady – Independent Voter

Please see thru these mavericks of lies!! They are taking lies to a whole new level!

I was at the McCain / Palin Rally in Vienna Ohio today, and I will admit. I was shocked by how many folks I spoke to who were registered Democrats who are not going to vote for Obama.

Even local politicians who are Democrat stood on the podium and shown support for McCain and Palin.

Palin not accurate?
Ok then, who is to say this Center for Tax Policy is right?

Obama's plan? Which one, Monday's, Tuesday's,...etc? His stances/plans change with the polls and I guess this best explains all his "present" votes in Illinois! He's a fraud and yet another fine selection by the DNC to lose a presidential election!

It is funny how everyone talks of who controls the house and senate and the president. The republicans have had control enough to push through or block anything they do not want. And the most important branch the supreme court has a conservative majority for as long as I can remember. So, when you go a vote this year you will be voting for the president and the make up of the supreme court. The most important branch in our country of laws.

How are her comments "not acurate"??? Obamas plan WOULD raise taxes on small business owners making over 250000. Why would you raise taxes on ANYBODY during this economic slowdown much less the only sector, small business, keeping it afloat. By the way Obamas plan raises taxes on anyone who owns stock or has a 401k, more than 70% of americans.

Polly want a cracker?

The good old days were when the Democrats held the White House under Bill Clinton and he left office with a surplus. Eight years of republican deceit and lying have put us in the worst financial crisis since the great depression and Palin has the guts to question Obama's plan(which mccain or herself have no clue of what to do) American's,we can not stand four more years of republican nonsenseGo OBAMA/BIDEN

She lies. Bridge to nowhere, earmarks, troopergate, and now tax cut. I don't believe the Mccain campain at all. I don't understand why people are voting for Mccain. He is running simply a dishonest campain.

He is supposted to be a POW but appeared to be a dishonored person.

I just read Obama's economic plan. Raise taxes and spend to create jobs and prosperity. What a joke. The government gets bigger and takes even more from productive and successful goods and services companies to create jobs? That's not conducive to economic growth in any way. It's kind of like paying your spouse to live at home and work around the house. Money moves but there is no net gain or growth in the overall family budget. If you can't pay the bills before you start paying your spouse – you still can't pay the bills. We can't pay America's bills now and Obama's plan won't help to pay them after.

More LIES from the Republicans: “His tax plans really would kill jobs and hurt small businesses and make even today’s bad economy look like the good old days.” BULL! It's been proven that Obama's tax plan would REDUCE taxes for EVERYONE who makes less than $250,000. This is just more manure from the Republicans. They have no actual issues to sell, so the only thing they can do is LIE.

NO MORE GOP LIARS!
Obama/Biden '08!

You fellow Christians – please explain to me how you can support the Party of Liars (the GOP)??

Hold on now, the writer at CNN is failing to mention *all* of Obama's tax plans - When you list them all out you'll see Sarah is telling the truth!

Obama has committed [in the democratic debates] to increasing the self employment tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax, income tax and others.

Sarah is right in saying that Obama's tax plans if enacted now will make this economy look like the good ole days.

Sure, our policies are just plain awful, but get this lie I can tell about the policies of the Obama campaign. Just plain pathetic. I can't believe nearly half of all America voters are buying into these lies and distortions.

The top 5% who are the lucky recipients of this wonderful new tax increase that is going to magically pay for all of JUST the republicans transgressions will only be to the detriment of Betty Sue who makes 18 dollars an hour working for an S-Corp that profits, let's say 251K. That 251K in income is now moving from a 38% tax bracket to a 49% bracket.

Hmmmm, being that I'm a small business owner similarly situated, I think I have to do Betty Sue's job myself now so I can make up for the 11% tax increase on my own income or roughly 35K annual salary Betty was going to make.

Betty Sue stands in line at unemployment for 400 dollars a week of tax payer money and eventually has to take a job for far less income.

Reading all of the above makes me sick to be an American. Nobody seems to care about the real issues, let's all just spread hate and discontent. Let's call them liars, lets blame them for something we "think" they are responsible for. My question is why can't we get an appropriations bill approved by the house and senate prior to Oct 1? This is one of the main functions of our legislative branch. The reason is that everyone is spending too much time bashing each other, and focusing on the issues our legislative body thinks are important, like sports stars on steroids. Why aren't you folks asking the reals questions, or discussing the real issues? Stop with all the I'm a Red state or I'm a Blue state. Hell, I thought we were all Americans.

Obama Is to GREEN !!! , To Run Anything , Especially The Economy . Look What He Has Done With The 100's Of Millions Of Dollars He's Had His Hands On . I Guess If He Never Had To Earn That Money , It Doesn't Matter To Him . What A Waste !!!

No Obama ,

Democrat Voting John McCain / Sarah Palin 2008 – 2016 !!!!!

Good news! If you live in the northern part of the United States or the southern part, you can now put foreign policy experience on your resume because in some parts of the country, we can see Mexico and Canada. Let us rejoice!

WHEN WILL SHE ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM THE MEDIA AND THE VOTERS???

Palin and the $600 M highway to her home town???

SHUT HER UP... WHAT A FOOLISH FRAUD

well I guess obama folks she's right.Your candidate has a poor
judgement ,always telling us that 8 yrs of Bush will be the same for MCain 4 years>Thisguy serve our country and almost died for us in Vietnam lets give him a try to sit in the white house.

Obama is still young ,He can run again some other time ,except 2012
coz thats for Hilliary.

Palin Power 2008
Go Sarah its time clean washington.

More lies. The media is finally waking up and realizing that it is their job to police what is fact and what is fiction coming from the candidates. CNN, NBC, FOX, etc.: Do not let the McCain campaign intimidate you by calling your coverage unfair. If someone is not telling the truth, report it, explain why they are lying by giving the facts as they are. If you do this any accusation of unfairness will not hold water.

"What, like its hard?" was the equivalent of Palin's answer when Charlie Gibson questioned her about being ready to be vice president. (Yes, Sarah it is rather complicated.)

Now she only speaks "republican speak" talking points. (And no interviews, please.) Lets pray that she will not end up as another poor soul thrown under the bus by the republicans when they need a handy excuse for not winning the election.

i was raised Republican. i have always voted Republican I have never voted for a Democrat period. . This year, I have no choice but to vote for Obama, he's our only hope.

Well the so called poor Democratic party is holding another fund raiser be Barb S at $28,500 per person then going to entertain BO for another $2,500 per pop.... BO is really trying to buy the Presidents office. All these rich so called actors how much do they pay in taxes compared to the rest of us....with accountants and shifting their money around more than likely $0......wish there was some way to find out......but the demo's want to tax people making $250,000 so that they can say we have solved the problem and tax tax tax all you other people making less than that IT WILL Happen always has happend when the tax-o-crats get in office....

Hey Palin, does McCain call you Mini Me in private? You are becoming comedy gold everytime you open your mouth. The only thing is, your just not ready for primetime, or anything else for that matter.

Obama/Biden 2008

McCain underestimated this whole woman thing. Palin sure ain't no Hillary. There were soooo many qualified candidates he could have chosen to run on the ticket........picking a woman for the uterus issue was not a smooth move.

Lies, Lies, Lies!!

When McCain and Palin say "You" they mean really mean "Millionaires".

Another lie, yet again.
You ever notice that the CNN boards tend to overwhelmingly favor Obama/Biden, and on Youtube people lend far more credibility to McCain/Palin? The difference? One requires reading, the other is watching a video.
Think about it.

Go Obama

ooooh...you've been snowballed by Obama....speaks well...no substance...no record...just voted "present", never challenged anything in Chicago...even Palin more experience than Obama.

Also–media attack just hurts Obama, look at the pitiful celebs attacking her..Chevy Chase..a major has been...just said somthing so he could be on TV again...sad..Matt Damon...and as if the"Oceans" movies were even remotely credible acting films...Lindsay Lohan...does she even have a brain?...the cake has to go to Barbara Streisand, she's raising funds for Obama, $28,000 a head...obviuosly the economy is pretty good for those in Hollywood...she'd be better off giving it to as Obama says, "those who need to pay their heating bills" or how about the Hurricane area. All talk and no play makes Obama a dull boy.

Wow, I think you BHO lovers really ought to calm yourselves down. Take a deep breath – if you're so sure he's a winner, let him run. No one really needs to be constantly subjected to your negativity. Looks like you're running scared. Grow up and calm down!

For someone who claims to be so Holy, Palin has to be one of the most dishonest people in politics! Does she really have to be such a big liar to be appealing to voters? It's sad. Hopefully she'll repent...

Connie-Don't worry about the 'delaying troop withdrawal' line . It is a total smear that even Drudge won't run with.

Too much fluff talk by the McCain bunch. Lets get some facts. First of, Ms Palin needs to cooperate with the investigation in Alaska instead of plowing ahead like nothing is going on. She should have known all the skeletons would come out of the closet. And, since she initially agreed to cooperate with the investigation and now is refusing makes me wonder what the big deal really is. Typical, just like the current administration, fluff, cover-up, and make-up.

McCain might have pulled this election off if he had chosen someone with a little smarts. For heaven's sake, Palin is a NUT, WACKO and a LIAR. She has lost all credibility and hurt the ticket horribly. Lesson learnt McCain?

Voting for Obama this time around!

She Lies So Much!! And, this is a lie that can truly affect people's decisions. Taxes are one of the few non-cultural/social issues that the Republicans and Indies care about!

This is a big lie. Obama and his campagin have got to get the truth out. The vast majority of people will benefit more under Obama's plan than McCain. Sarah Palin lies so much. it's terrible!

Hey – another lie in a Palin speech. Surprise! And today McCain stole "That's not change!" from Obama. If only they'd imitate his policies and integrity, and not just his catch phrases.

When you say "Palin's claims aren't exactly accurate"- why don't you just say, "She's lying again". If it was a statement from Obama how would you word it?

When are you losers going to stop making crap up? Every day it's another half truth or out and out lie. Where is your honor McBush? Did you ever have it? I don't blame Palin. We should all realize she is too unintellectual to have her own ideas. Miss "I have foreign policy experience because you can see Russia from land in Alaska." It is obvious that these Neo-Cons all have the same attitude (in this instance, regarding Sen. Obama's tax plan):

Do not confuse me with the facts, I have my mind made up.

It amazes me to hear all of the stupid comments here from the Obama supporters. They don't even know what kind of trouble our country and fellow Americans will be in if Obama is elected! Plus the fact that Obama/Biden will not be able to beat the McCain/Palin ticket.

The only way that Obama even had a chance, and he blew it by choosing Biden over Hillary Clinton for his VP.

Now, McCain/Palin will beat him, for there are many people like me (Hillary Clinton supporters) who are voting for them.

McCain/Palin 2008

Hillary Clinton 2012

palin doen't have a clue about the pain americans are suffering. So lady why don't you do your home work before adressing a crowd.
Stop lying.

Obama will increase funding for most domestic programs, education, health, incentives for alternative energy development ... He will provide tax relief for 95% of the people ... He will also keep control on deficits ... I am sure everyone can do the math - someone has to pay more.

Obama thinks that it can be made up by taxing those making more than $250K. What do you these >$250K earners going to cut down on, to pay more for taxes? I think they will reduce their investments in private business, but continue wasteful spending on their fancy cars, yachts and planes. The following year, they will have less income and they will pay less taxes.

The government which gets those extra taxes the first year, will expand the social programs. The following year, when the income is lower, the spending programs stay or grow. The net effect is to increase deficit or taxes on the <$250K earners!

everytime she speaks she hammers herself. palin go home please!!!!!!!

Lies, lies, lies......it never stops.....

palin needs to come clean with the American people, why does she tell so many lies, and why won't she allow anyone to testify in troopergate?

1. the bridge to nowhere
2. the teleprompter wasn not working, all reporters sitting in front of it said it was working.
3. won't testify in the troopergate scandal, and won't allow her people to testify.
4. cut funding for the special olympics.
5. her son went to the Army because he got in trouble with the law and they gave him an ultimatum
6. she requested 198 million dollars in earmarks for the state of Alaska.
7. requested 316 days of per diem for staying in her own home.

I think the abuse of power charge, and her claim that we would go to war against Russia are the two issues that scare me the most.
7.

Palin cannot speak without lying. She has not spoken the truth in any single outing, including the Gibson interview. Palin is a stinking liar.

Does anyone really believe Democratic policies of higher taxes, less free trade, and limited or no drilling and no nuclear will help the economy ? create jobs ?

And the Democrats under Clinton created the Freddie Mac and Fannie May half-trillion dollar mess with "everyone gets a mortgage" policies.

For Heavens sake we not only need McCain/Palin in the White House, we need to get rid of Congressional Democrats, especially those on the Freddie Mac payroll.. hint: Obama, Hillary, Dodd.

It doesn't matter if it is true or not. She likes to hear that voice of hers. She really thinks she is cute.

Just say it. Whatever. Seems like everything that comes out of her mouth, which is not much substance, is lies and more lies. She has yet to say anything intelligent.

Yesterday, she says, "My mission will be Security, Energy, and Reform". I cannot tell her from real or SNL skit.

I just don't understand why McCain/Palin continue to spew out their countless lies. From the convention to today, they continue to lay out so much BS it is amazing. They are the two most asinine candidates ever.

Why people are buying their lies is beyond me. It just shows to me that there are way too many Americans that lack the following:

1. Common sense
2. Critical thinking skills
3. The ability to be impartial and objective
4. The ability to conduct thorough research
5. The desire to listen to the issues being addressed and what the candidate's proposed solutions are.
6. The ability to look beyond the color of Barack Obama's skin

What a disaster theRepublican ticket has become.

Obama is now talking about change you need!

But, reform/change is about working together to improve the way we relate in all aspects of life! It is not about the pseudo savior who contributes to your victimhood so he can meet your needs!

McCain/Palin will deliver authentic reform that will inspire everyday Americans to be part of the team! Servant leadership encourages teamwork!

Another day, another pack of lies from Grandpa and Caribou Barbie.

Its good to critique Palin's claims about her accomplishments in her 10 years in government. While she has had many accomplishment with respect to most politicians, we all know that the campaign trail leads to some stretches in the truth. Matter of fact, there is likely a little stretch in most people's resume in whatever job they are applying for.

We should also have a conversation about Obama's accomplishments. Awful quiet? Hmmmmm?

Does she even know what she's talking about??

The debates are coming soon, Obama and McCain will have much to discuss and the truth will be heard.

Kerry mopped the floor with Bush in 04 debates but still lost.

America, please for the love of god, do your homework.

You are being marketed to by the republicans..they are masterful, just look at Rove. Politics are childs play to them.

Barack/Joe 08

You Obama supporters just can't seem to get the facts straight.

Obama says he will tax only high income: first of all, IF this is true (and there is no guarantee of that, since he has LIED and flipped about numerous issues already), a large chunk of those high income people are small business owners, who file as individuals to avoid the double tax burden. High tax them? OK, but that means instant lower wages for employees, and less jobs. You have to get the revenue from somewhere....so Obama taxes captial gains (from your sale of a house; McCain won't tax that up to 500K), investments, dividends, gas tax.

YOu did READ the tax institute evaluation, that said that McCain will lower taxes MORE across the board?

Obama is blatantly LYING to you. What has he done to prove himself? He voted for raising taxes 94 times! He supporterd a Dem plan in 2009 to increase taxes for those getting 42 K or more!

Obama is just words, and empty promises. What has he done to make you trust him? NOTHING.

McCain has lowered taxes in his career.

Palin has lowered taxes in her career.

Obama has done nothing. He IS attending a 23K per plate dinner with Barbra sTresiand tonite. Do you really think he can relate to small town America, this elitist freak?

LEARN THE FACTS. Obama will destroy America!

Is Keating getting out of jail? Or does Palin intend to head up the "5" next time?

Jimmy,

The deficit budget we are facing today is not because of Democratic congress – It is because of the fraudulent and illegitimate war that the current GOP president took this country into which was strongly supported by the current GOP presidential candidate.

So don't blame the democrats – support them to win the White House and fix the economic epidemic caused by the GOP.

Dems have mostly controlled Congresss for 50 years...and look what THAT has done for us. A straight line downwards.

Lies, Lies, Lies.

McCain is a liar.
Palin is a liar.

What? Harping on NAFTA (broken, not up to date, needs modification).

McCain has already been pushing CAFTA – just another way to send jobs elsewhere.

I don't trust McCain. I trust Obama.

At the same time, the tax payer is buying out all the icons of the free market. Either the money comes from us, or from our children.

Put your head in the sand! Vote Palin! and what's-his-name!

Someone who shouts insults then hides in the cone of silence cannot "hammer" anyone. Until she starts going off script and taking all questions, CNN should stop using those types of descriptions.

"Obama would maintain the Bush tax cuts and offer tax breaks to individuals making under $250,000 a year."

Great, now CNN is reporting blatant lies. Obama has ardently opposed the Bush tax cuts and will let them expire. He can't maintain the Bush tax cuts with all the crazy ways that he wants to expand the central government.

The truth is hard to accept and it shows in all these juvenile comments.
Mr. Obama will not be President. His kind of 'change' is changing back to taxing the hell out of everyone and playing 'how can we fool them' each and every day of our lives, like the Clintons.
Well, NOT THIS TIME! NOT EVER!!!!!

That's the truth...get use to it.

NObama....ever!

More lies. That's all they know how to do.

But she didn't lie. A news reporter was just adding in their opinion.

It is true that Obama's tax plan lowers taxes for the majority of people, but what does that matter if it causes huge inflation. When you raise the taxes of businesses, they raise prices or lower expenses by making cheaper junk or just lay people off and find cheaper labor, often foreign.

His tax plan will work out great for you just as long as you never buy anything, or need to collect a paycheck.

Give the working stiffs a taxbreak...make the corporations who brought us into this mess pay their fair share!

Now is the time to educate yourselves...compare their economic policies!

Unless you make more than $250,000.00 per year you are a sucker to vote for McCain!

hey Unfit mom..why you don't you tell the truth for once in your pimp my kids out abusive power fool....go back to alaska...and tell more lies/....female pitt bull...

Peter Hanby
I never see in your articles about Obama questioning Obama's statements, according to CNN everything he says is true and he never tells a lie. I guess you must be a Obama supporter, like the rest of CNN. BIASED?

Thank god CNN in here to carry Obama's message. Be nice if they once in a while actually checked his accuracy. CNN has spent more time investigating the GOP VP pick than they have the DNC Presidential pick.

Wonder why? Hmmm....

The only thing worse than a liar is a liar who doesn't know what he/she is talking about. This woman should be rejected by our country, since America deserves at least some level of honesty.

REAL evangelical here. Don't you fool lefties get it? WE, the REAL evangelicals decided the last two elections. Early this time, McCain was nowhere without US. McCain who? Now we have Sarah. Now we WILL WIN to get her in place. You stupid lefties, Nov 4 is not the end, IT IS JUST THE BEGINNING! WE have been praying all our lives for this. Thank you God....I knew you would one day answer prayers of the REAL faithful. We true evangelicals can actually see it coming over the horizon. THE RAPTURE! THE RAPTURE!. God promised to rapture us...THE TRUE BELIEVERS...just before the end times. Thank you for Sarah, God. SHE is the ONE. I viewed her interviews. Qualified?...Knowledgeable?...Honest?...etc...etc.? WE DON”T CARE! She will not blink. YOU, my dear GOD will tell her when the time is right. She truly knows YOU. I saw it in her eyes, SHE is the one who will not blink...she will PRESS THE BUTTON WITH NO HESITATION whatsoever. ARMAGEDDON ! Praise the Lord! I am not afraid because I know, with all my heart, just like ALL true evangelicals, just like Sarah, that we WILL be raptured. So who cares. The rest will get what they deserve.

Don't you have one original thought Prom Queen?

It looks like OHIO, Florida, Virginia and possibly Missouri will be deciding this election. It will be interesting to see if the people suffering in those states stick with what got them there or will they step out in a new direction. . . .

OBAMA!

The only hope the Republican ticket has of winning is to lie.

For example, since the Republican government this past week has socialized our mortgage securities industry and now the largest insurance company, they've got to lie. I doubt very many Republican conservatives on Main Street like the idea of the government taking over where private "bidness" concerns have traditionally ruled!

McCain said, and I quote, "I can keep your jobs safe". He supports off-shore jobs 100%!!!! He favorS of big corporations moving American jobs over seas so they won't have to pay Americans. The vast majority of Americans are so easily fooled and even more are easily led.

So each time this woman repeats this lie, the press prints that it is a lie... and she then goes back out and repeats it...

Why would anyone put any faith in what she has to say after all that?

real dem, the only thing I see in your post is real-denial.
The Straight Talk Express apparently has you back on your heels.
Yes, it's true! What you are seeing is a successful Republican ticket taking chargeof this election after Obama gave it up with his Biden pick.
Don't underestimate McCain...it's proven to be a difficult position to live with.

McCain/ Palin 2008

The McCain- Palin LIE-Lie-LIE machine reminds me of Dr. Goebels who was Adoph Hitler's Propoganda Minister who believed that if tell a outright lie often and strongly enough it becomes a GIVEN. Sarah Baracuuda would feel at home in Hitler's inner circ le.

This repub party is such a LIE.
At first I became angry, now I'm laughing. It is such a joke.
So the Lies continue and all because Mc Cain is upset because Obama didn't come to his Town Hall Meetings?
What a child and you want him to run this counrty?!!!?
And.. you do not want to get started about Palin.
These two are a disgrace to our counrty.

It is obvious that the only people that post here are Obama supports. What about the reports of Obama recieving payouts from the now bankrupt Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac. The real stories of Obama are always covered up by the liberal media and never reported.

Liberals resort to name calling and false claims when they see things slipping away. Most Americans do think the way liberals do but because of all the socialist screaming and not wanting to listen to other sides point, all you see and hear is liberal propaganda. Would you just shut up already! I know what you response will be," Listen to this stuff coming from another stupid-redneck-Republican. "

Every Obamablogger refers to Palin telling lies....

The facts say the liars are the bloggers...

They also keep quoting Obama's economic plan...

Obama's economic plan is the BIGGEST lie of all...

I'd like to see one person on here state that they really believe
Obama intends to do any of it!!!!!

{enjoy this comment when it comes out of censorship....oh I'm sorry I meant MODERATION....probably by the 2nd week of november sometime}

too many liars around...unsure how to educate McCain and Palin not to lie to VOTERS!!!!! STUBBORN!!!

Thank goodness the Straight Talk Express is not letting anything as pesky as the truth get in the way.

Everytime this lady opens her mouth she lies...lies...lies...lies

After 8-Years of Lies from Republicans, I would think McCain would be diffrent....LIE...LIE....LIE

This lady needs to let us see her tax returns.

Poor little Sarah....with her tremendous love, respect and dedication to small towns, how in the world is she ever going to adjust to a big city like Washington DC much less adjust to national and international problems that affect millions of people when her small town ideas just don't seem to work???? I don't think the small towns are going to bail out Wall Street right now.

And poor John, do you think that anyone will ever come to listen to him say anything again??? He will always have to have Sarah at his side. Sorry about that Cindy.

Unbiased

Just because you may think you are unbiased doesn't still mean you are not an idiot.

She still doesn't know how to tell the truth, apparently about anything!

Obama's tax plan would increase taxes in 2009 on the wealthiest 20 percent of households. - according to factcheck.org

so 20% of americans are making 250k+ ? i guess the economy is doing amazing! either that or Obama is lying.

too bad that when you raise taxes on these top 20% of people, theyre going to compensate their loss but cutting the jobs of people below them.

think it through! vote McCain

McCain/Palin = Thanks, but no thanks

Obama's tax plan wouldn't hurt small businesses, jobs, or anything else unless you earn more than $250,000 a year. That's all there is to it.

Palin is a liar, and apparently happy and excited to be. I just think it's sad that this is how McCain thinks he has to run his campaign.

Tax cuts for the wealthy don't create jobs. If they did, we'd be living in a thriving economy after six years of Bush's tax cuts. Instead, we're in the middle of a meltdown. I think the verdict is in for the latest version of trickle-down economics. Can't believe McCain has the gall to back this nonsense.

Palin's claims waren't accurate? What else is new.

Palin.....I can't believe you have the nerve to hammer anybody on anything. I can thank you for some fresh lies this time. I was so burnt out on the old ones. You just keep up the good work and wasting all that breathe and cheerleading that ole man running mate of yours. Go Obama/Biden "08

Palin, just tell the truth – afterall, your religious beliefs require that of you! Country before party/politics...when are you two going to begin implementing that slogan?

The majority of the economic experts agree that Obama's plan will benefit more Americans.

Trickle-down economics don't work – Reagan nearly bankrupted the USA with those voodoo economics. How the economy really grows is: Consumers need jobs that are paying livable wages so that they can purchase products/services provided by businesses. When consumers continue spending/purchasing, businesses make money and the cycle continues, thus both the consumer and the supplier benefit from the transactions. Not rocket science!

Where's Ken Star to head the probe of Palin's investigation?

Gov. Palin can mouth clever phrases and Republican ideas, but she has no clue about taxes, our economy or foreign affairs. The non-partisan Center has concluded Obama's plan will lower taxes for people making less than $250,000. So why does she have to lie and say things that "aren't exactly accurate"?

When will the media discuss America's racial issues w/ Obama? If Obama was white, we wouldn't need an election, McCain would have just quit, he would've been behind so much. Everyday I see people looking for the silliest reasons not to vote for Obama (Elitist, don't know who he really is, like he is a martian that was beemed on this planet). Stop looking for reasons to justify in your mind why you don't want to vote for Obama. None of you with these BS reasons chose the color of your skin, so why are you penalizing him for his.

Why would anyone believe anything Palin has to say? She lies, distorts, exaggerates and sticks to the same talking points. This is getting old already. When will america wake up to see Palin for what she is (liar, fake, hypocrite, vindictive) as well as what she aint...(a leader, honorable, smart and stable)

enough of this phony popularity chatter about palin...her veneer is fading, and as soon as she keeps talking to real people, it will become evident she was the wrong choice. McCain thinks he chose the nuclear option? Think again.

The article refered to them as on their "road show," it really should be called a "side show." These two lie almost every time they open up their "big: mouth.

Wallstreet=McCain/Palin meltdown

LIE TO THE PEOPLE! COUNTRY FIRST!

How come when Palin says she is going to take on the "good ole boys" that is not considered sexits?

This woman keeps fibbing, do i hear sniper fire???

Palin should go back to field dressing Mooses...her credibilty in the real world is ZEROOOOO

I respect the teacher's aide who is backing Palin because of her stance on abortion, but if taxes and employment are truly her main concerns, she's supporting the wrong candidate! Unless her aide job is paying her over $250,000 a year, she'd be better off financially with the Dems.

man man man..... some people are so dumb.... a teacher...voting for Mccain...even though her tax burden will be higher with Mccain as president, she's voting based on taxes and the economy

even though abortions increased under bush and with a majority in congress for six years, he never put forth any legislation to reduce the number of abortions or stop them, while abortions did go down under the previous dem admin., because Bill did foster legislation to reduce abortions..... this dummy is still voting for a republican.... based on identity only.

I can never respect anyone voting for this batch of republicans

Just go see the simple McCain vs Obama tax comparison charts in the Washington Post or numerous other sources (use google). Palin's lie becomes obvious when you see that only those earning 250K+, which is the top 2% of Americans, would see increased taxes. I don't think the economically hurting Mahoning Valley of Ohio has many of this 2% left for her to be talking to!

And McCain, he gives his largest PERCENTAGE tax breaks (-4.4%, -3.4% ) to this elite group, which means 269K+ and 45K+ average reduction for the already rich, while poorer folk get smaller percentage and much smaller actual dollar reductions. It's Bush redux–the rich get richer because we swallow Republican lies regarding taxes.

So, is it God that tells Palin to lie?

give me a break, who is this joker......she needs to go replace Tinay Fay, but i like TIna, in SNL

this woman is scary, and believe me PIGS with lipstick are not scary

bulldogs are...........

She needs to go away already. Nothing to see here.

CNN – the discourse on your blogs are a disgrace. The bloggers are as venemous as they were with Hillary in the race. Either they are paid Democratic bloggers or they are young and immature. Kindly put an end to this nonense and please, let's have some journalistic integrity to your pieces. We all should be treating each other with dignity and respect.

I find it amazing that the Obama supporters are so very aggressive attacking Sahra and her lack of being a player in the Washington insider crowd.I keep hearing of change,she is a positive change,think about it !

Palin is a BIG LIER!!!!!!!

She doesn't even understand McCain's plan, so I know she doesn't understand Obama's plan. She needs to go study the "Bush Doctrine" for the debate she has coming up. Once again her claims weren't accurate, but I don't blame her, because she doesn't know any better. Tina Fey should be runnin for VP, at least she's honest.

Does Palin have any credibility left. She and John McCain have been called out on numerous lies and misrepresentations. Who believes them anymore?

If you start lying trying to get elected what incentive do you have to be honest once in office. Isn't that how we ended up in Iraq with George Bush?

Steven from SC
You have said same things over and over like para sailin and no substance to it. president Bush himself annouced the relocation of troops that Obama had adviced more than 2 yrs ago to Afganistan and for you that doesnt know this Obama is not the president( not yet) he said in Paris France that there can be only one President in USA at a time, he didnt act like McShame who claims to be speaking for all Americans at the same time When thr President is speaking for Americans to republic of Georgia

LIES. LIES. LIES.

This country has been railroaded by the republicans for the past 8 years and people are actually considering handing the reins back over to these two clowns.

McCain is senile and Palin is a joke. Pull your heads out people and take a look around. It's the conservative policies toppling this country! These people only believe in one thing: damaging our government to prove that it's broken.

You think these "mavericks" promising "change" are going to fix the situation we're facing? Not by a long shot.

Don't buy their hype. Don't fall for their distractions. Don't believe their smears. And don't vote for them in November.

We have a shining beacon of real hope and change in one candidate alone: Barack Obama.

Obama/Biden '08!!! Real values, real solutions.

Your report says that "Palin's claims aren't exactly accurate". What a surprise! She is so unworthy and arrogant - unbelievable! It seems to me that candidates for one of our highest offices should be exemplary ones - not one under investigation, inexperienced in major ways, cynical, sarcastic, and vindictive. It also interests me that the US Congress can be interested in whether someone like Roger Clemins used steroids in baseball, but not in Sarah Palin's investigation - seems some Congressional oversight might be appropriate when a US Governor running for national office refuses to cooperate with an ethics violation by her own state legislature. If that were an "average American" as she claims to be, we'd be "under the jail"! Guess she's "above the law" - it's all quite sad and extremely maddening!!

YOU GO GIRL! GO SARAH, GO – - all the way to the White House!!!!

I will be absolutely heartbroken, again, if another election is hijacked by false claims and accusations by the Republicans. Obama has clearly said he will not raise taxes on anyone making less than 250K per year. Period.

Where is my comment..................or any other voter that is for McCain/Palin

Are we barred from commenting.?

Mine were not offensive. However many I read are.

I wish this shrill liar would go away, she reminds me of fingernails on the chalkboard.

Unbelievable. When are we going to see the non-internet media stand up to straight out lies? Why is it up to people to do their own research online to determine what is truth. McCain/Palin make me sick! The people who buy their garbage are incredibly uninformed!

McCain invented the Blackberry..lol lol lol lol .. ...I can't stop laughing!

If every voter to learn just two numbers, Those numbers are 91 and 134. If by Election Day every American knows McCain votes with Bush 91 percent of the time and has 134 lobbyists in his campaign, then the myth of the maverick reformer will be dead. And with it, McCain’s chances of following his unlikely soul mate as president.

There goes "straight lies" express! When is this fluff and Tod going to answer to the people of Alaska? She is an unethical, pentecostal, lying, moose-predating barracuda....Wow! what kind of creature is that?

Obama-Biden 08!

hi my name is Sarah Palin...ok now everything that comes out of my mouth from this point is a lie...lip stick...thanks but no thanks...shake things up...the end

Liar!

I can't even listen to her anymore. Everything out of her mouth has been a lie.

Why ,Why , the media refuses to ask Obama ,"the fraud" the tough questions that need to be asked (and there are plenty of them). I would not let the "Community Organizer" (Acorn street antagonist) run my small business, much less run the greatest country on earth. People are just easily lead like, lambs to the slaughter. I can see your attacks on Palin are getting nastier by the minute, Dems are getting very itchy, and they should be.

honestly, only the rich people need to be scared of obama. an estimated whopping 5% (at best) of the US income-earners are people making over $250K a year. the rich have it so good with all the breaks they get and loopholes they find, that bumping up taxes won't do any real harm.

there's something very conveniently important that palin didn't say when she said obama would raise payroll taxes. he will raise the CAP ON INCOME TAXED FOR SOCIAL SECURITY, but will ELIMINATE THE TAX for people who earn below the cap. the cap is $250K and the tax relief will affect a good majority of the working – especially low to middle income workers. put more money in the majority's pockets, and you have a spur in the economy.

Once again, failing the "100% truth test" (= lying).

Palin = liar
McCain = liar

McCain-Palin supporters = bitter and/or delusional idealists who don't mind or ignore lying

Why do you still reports lies

Sarah Palin is not fit to be Vice President of the U.S. She knows nothing and that's evident by the fact that she will not take questions from reporters or the public.

Is she lying or ignorant? Either way, it's getting tiresome.

Not to mention the fact that the man people are actually voting for cannot hang onto an audience.

Why can't this woman ever tell the truth?

File her under: Fire, Pants On.

A wealthy and hot-tempered rebel, he spent half his life fighting to live up to a famous father and grandfather, encouraged always by an indomitable mother. A self-described moderate on the campaign trail, he courts ultra-right-wing preachers behind the scenes and promises to appoint stridently conservative judges. A multimillionaire who supports more tax cuts for more millionaires, he surrounds himself with supply-siders and calls for policies that would drive us deeper into debt. The chief cheerleader for the war in Iraq, he said we’d be “welcomed as liberators” and angrily challenges anyone who questions his distorted and out-of-touch view of reality.

You know what I like about Biden...? He speaks from his head.

You know what I don't like about Palin...? She reads whatever is put in front of her without any thought, truthseeking before you speak, and decency. Yes Mrs. Palin; you are a lier... and that's not being sexist.

mccain haven got a flag pin that is all right for him, but not for obama what wrong with that obama 08

McCain's plan would lower taxes for everyone.......did anyone read what the independent non partisan group said? McCain 08.

I just donated to Obama, I never donated to a politician before. I cant take any more incompetent people in office. Its not possible any group could be worse then the republicans, simply impossible.

God help us if they win.

You know what I like about Biden...? He speaks from his head.

You know what I don't like about Palin...? She reads whatever is put in front of her with any thought, truthseeking before you speak, and decency. Yes Mrs. Palin; you are a lier... and that's not being sexist.

She's still out there giving scripted speeches, lying, and being shielded from opening her mouth unscripted. Is she that stupid they don't trust her to speak? Charlie Gibson's interview wasn't even live. How much was edited? Now she's refusing to cooperate with the "troopergate" investigation, and her husband may not comply with a subpoena. The arrogance is astounding. How could anyone with half a brain consider supporting this nonsense?

I am so happy to see that the good majority of people on here see through the McCain/Palin lie machine. It's so downright disgusting that they continue to mislead American people. No matter what you may think now, before you vote in November, make yourself a proactive voter and educate yourselves on the issues! Please stop taking McCain/Palin's word for it, because almost everywhere you look/read you'll find distortion.

Now the government has bailed out AIG to the tune of 85 billion dollars where are they getting their money. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say China has bailed out AIG on the Republican's behalf.

She has a lot of nerve bringing up strait talk when she doen't have the integrity or strength to take questions from the public or the press and when she does, I'll bet it's just like Bush did from a carefully selected few who only ask questions approved by the GOP. Why doesn't she talk a little strait talk about her roll in troupergate?

Says the woman who didn't even know what a tax plan was about 2 weeks ago

Obama, is the best way for us to get out of the pot we are in. Obama's argument is basicly the same as Clinton's. Which if we all remember the early 90's it was a good time for Americans. Even Republicans would say it was good for them as well. So I am not sure where the freeze brain is comming from saying they would lose jobs. Talking about the economy and Obama's plan would cut jobs. She dont have a clue

Gov. Palin doesn't need to be running for VP, she needs therapy. It's becoming more and more apparent that she is a serial liar. She lies about things that she doesn't even need to lie about. She lied about the teleprompter breaking down during the RNC convention, all technicians, staffers and reporters, who could see it have said that it worked perfectly the whole time. She did well with her speech so why does she need to lie to make it look like she was speaking off the cuff, during part of her speech. She's doing it because she can't help herself, she's sick and everyday a new lie comes out.

The only tax break you gave was on tires because Alaska had no real tax issues, so what did you do? You thought by getting something in the records you now are all of a sudden a tax master. Your Executive experience is so tiny we have to search with a fine tooth comb.

If nutsy McCain/Palin get in, I'll stuff my money in an old sock and bury it in the backyard.

The only tax break you gave was on tires because Alaska had no real tax issues, so what did you do? You thought by getting something in the records you now are all of a sudden a tax master. Your Executive experience

obama, mccain......as long as something gives. hell, id vote for Ron Paul if he were still running, just so i can say "i didnt listen to either democrat or republican BS"

i still want Al Gore to be president. GORE/CLINTON in 2012!
w00t!

lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol ......I can't stop laughing!

OBAMA/BIDEN

Remind me again which of the two republicans are running for president....Does this remind anyone of Cheney / Bush.
McCains VP really making him look so very old when I see them together I have to ask my wife ...HOW OLD IS HE AGAIN...

John your being out shined by the newby.

Palin is proving she is qualified to be VP, she acts more like Cheney every day. Maybe we'll get lucky and she'll take McClame hunting for some Arizona Moose!!! The straight talk express my antlers!!!

Why are the STILL lying about Barack's tax plan?! THe entire WORLD knows his stance on the Tax Cuts but the Republican Party is CLUELESS! Do they think Americans are stupid?! I'm beginning to think so! SO I guess it falls on me, a regular voter to explain Barack's tax plan. Barack wants to give all Americans making under 250,000 a tax cut and take all individuals that make OVER 250,000 a year about a 5% increase. This will equal out to about 2,000 more in taxes. Therefore about 90% of Americans WILL GET A TAX CUT!!

SIDE NOTE: I'm beginning to restore my Faith in CNN again. THANK YOU for calling her out on her LIES! Maybe it's time for her to update her recycled speech!!!! She's REALLY starting to look DUMB!!

This women is avoid cgoing before her own investigation, she thinks she is above the law.. The said story she was force out as mayor because she didnot get along with he staffers the iks more that meet the eye about this lady.

How is it "straight talk" when what is being said is "inaccurate"?..i am neither a democrat nor a republican, just one who seeks truth and relief in this time turmoil, and as a follower of those in power in i.e. the president, i feel that if the strategy of our future commander in chief is to lie and bamboozle the american people in order to be elected (republican campaign), then we have only seen the beginning of the road to demise...how about let the "straight talk" be the truth, and all other talk be considered the BS it really is

Untainted by the truth.

Yes lets continue the same policies that are putting millions out of a job as it is, this is unbelievable, I cannot BELIEVE people fall for this.

There is no comparison between Biden and Fiorina. I can't believe they even made that comparison. Frankly I am glad Fiorina showed her true colors. I have had a hard time listening to her as a surrogate. She is not very effective. Biden is much more effective, gaffe or no gaffes.

"Palin's claims aren't exactly accurate" – are they ever? You can't spell Sarah Palin without L I A R.

If you are dumb enough to support GOP, I forgive you for having such a low IQ. I do track all the plans by Mccain and Obama, and somehow, Mccain has slowly changed his detailed plan to address what Obama has been addressing. One example, initially, Mccain didn't address college students, but later on, he put that up on his website. This is how he has stole the campaign slogan from Obama... honestly, on the scale of politicians, Mccain is on the extreme "RIGHT"... i.e., he's behaving very much like the old George Bush, changing the landscape to suit himself. WAKE UP AMERICA! WAKE UP! (Oppssss.. have I stolen that from someone?)

More coverups. More of Bush and Cheney. They are for the rich. They know the people are stupid . They voted for Bush twice. Glad I can say I'm not one of them.

She's a good liar – either that or she's as dumb as a box of rocks OR she'll prostitute the truth to be in the White House. Just what I want my kids to emulate!

It's called LYING. When someone gets in front of an audience and tells them things that they KNOW are not true, that is lying.

See also: we do not torture.

jeez, Obama is going to cut YOUR taxes! What happened to rational self-interest?

"All four women said they were adamantly opposed to abortion rights."
That one says it all.

How many bridges to nowhere has this chick backed? Word now that she is responsible for requesting $600 Million in earmarks for a bridge to Wasilla. Since when does a town the size of 7,000 need a $600 million bridge?

THAT WOMEN HAS NOT SPOKEN THE TRUTH SINCE SHE BECAME THEIR VP NOMINEE. SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST HABITUAL LIARS AND REALLY BELIEVE THEIR OWN BS

If you care about making foolish, uninformed comments, read "Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska's Political Establishment Upside Down" by Kaylene Johnson!

In Governor Sarah Palin's case, Obama fans spouting ignorance is not bliss for team Obama!

McCain/Palin 08! They will deliver the reforms Americans can believe in!

Wow and people are people believing the crap that is coming out of both sides of thier mouths?

This is a true JOKE! she can accuse but don't want to be investigated. Go Home Hokey MOM! because you are skating on thin ice!

OBAMA/BIDEN

All they have, still, is fear

Of course her statements aren't "exactly accurate." Has she said anything that factcheck.org hasn't disputed?

Palin left the poor little town of Wasilla deeply in debt with unfinished projects. No way is she getting my vote!!

Sarah Palin Who?

Gosh...she nauseates me.

Are the conservative Ohions that desperate to even waste money on gas to go for her dumb rally that only spews lies. She has no clue in controlling her daughter, how the hell is she going to controll the country's budget and taxes. She is a piece of work. If she had half the brain she should stick to moose hunting. She does not even have a clue about where Russia is, scary if she becomes VP. I can imagine what she will see from the White House, may CHINA and all their dollar signs.

GO OBAMA

It's very disappointing to see the bias shown to the McCain/Palin campiagn since Sarah Palin was announced as the VP running mate. It was my understanding that news agencies applied fair and balanced reporting, showing both sides of the isle. I have the opportunity to watch much of the news programs throughout the day and it's painfully odvious that CNN and Fox News are pro McCain in everyway, and if by chance the Obama campaign gets a news spot it's tainted, the person being interviewed is constantly interrupted by the host (example: the program with the host who's name is Heather). McCain interviews are very complimentary to Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin and if for some reason there's something questionable about them it's quickly dispelled. Tonight Larry King had Dr. Phil on and talked the entire segment about Gov. Palin. If there's going to be fair and balance reporting, make it fair and balanced for both sides. I'd hate to thing in this day and time we're still having to fight for fairness, or maybe fairness is out the window and it's back to the same old make sure the black man doesn't get treated fairly, and if for some reason he gets a leg up, just resort to the oldest trick in the book; cheat!

Come on Palin, since you're talking about taxes, how about showing us your tax returns..huh?...

More Lying!!! " Honor comes with honesty.And you've got to be honest about the facts." Sen McCaskill said that and obviously neither of these people get that just like they don't get the economy. Obama will give tax cuts to 95% of the American people , seniors will see their taxes eliminated , small business will get a tax cut, no capital gains for small investors. So this is not a true, but incomplete . It's a lie because when you don't tell the whole truth and nothing , but the truth it's a lie and that's what I learned in my small hometown. Your word is your bond and John McCain has sold his soul to the Right wing of the Republican party. Where have ya gone John?

I'll tell you who in this race for the presidency tells lies. It's Barack Obama. From day-one, he's been telling us seniors that our Social Security income will not be taxed. He also tells us that if our income is $50 thousand a year or less, we will not have to pay income taxes. If anyone believes that, please go ask Obama to sell YOU that bridge in Alaska he obviously owns and is trying to sell. And while you're at it, ask him how he plans to pay for all those "pie in the sky" programs he's going to give away to everyone who votes for him. What I see right now in him is someone who is auditioning to take Dave Letterman's place when he retires in six years.

Palin, you've got 4 more minutes of fame left of the 15 you borrowed. Your popularity rating has dropped by 10% and each day a new and horrible story emerges from your home state of Alaska. The end is near.

Jimmy, please get your facts straight, or people might confuse you to be Sarah Palin.

The election was held in November 2006 when the Dems won the House and Senate, they have not been in office two full years.

You are probably one of the ones who said the positive economic times of Bill Clinton were the long term effects of Reagan economics and that what is happening now is longterm of Clinton economics, please.

If you understood the process of legislation you would understand that a 51 to 49 majority is not a majority in the legislative process.

And I hate to remind you that Bush never vetoed any legislation during the 6 full years of the Republican controlled Congress.

So get your facts straight and then maybe we can read what you write as even remotely credible.

How can you "hammer" anyone with a speech written for you 20 minutes before it's given? Of course her claims aren't accurate, she doesn't even know what she's saying!

She is putting WAY TOO MUCH LIPSTICK on her truth!

Don't bother listening to Obama on the issues or to his plans because they will all change to match the flavor of the day!

It is Obama's vision and socialist ideology that contribute to his equivocating words and his questionable plans!

McCain/Palin 08! They will deliver the reforms Americans can believe in!

Of course the statements are INACCURATE.....Palin is addicted to LYING!!!

Keep on telling your lies, Sarah. It's the only way you can win.

"When Palin finished her introduction of McCain, scores of voters soon proceeded to file out of the venue, one more sign that the Alaska governor is the force behind the ballooning crowds that have turned out for McCain in recent weeks."....
She's just a novelty

She lies about everything. Obama wants to lower Taxes for 95% of americans. What a joke. Dear Mis . Palin Obama wants to give people like me 1,000- 1,500 dollars back. You and Mccain only give us $316 , I think I am going to go with more money and less you!!!!
No Way No How No Mccain/Palin

The pig is beginning to squeal!

I feel your McPain. It's interesting to read how Republicons skim over the part where Palin and McCain are caught again and again telling lies. They want to believe so badly in the McPain's Campaign's Bridge to GOP Fantasyland. Where the Rich Elite rule with no governemnt and reponsibilities to the United States. A private castle with a small village of working poor and slaves to till thier land.

McPain LIES! Get it through your head.

The Republican Elites are scared to DEATH of Obama because he will RAISE taxes on the RICH, help bring back jobs and justice to Middle and Lower Paid WoHard Working Americans!

I can't believe people believe this broad. She lies soooo much. Wake up AMERICA! We're being taken over by the Republican body snatchers. One day her battery will go dead.

She lies.

It is of my opinion that both parties are responsible for what is happening in this country. Neither one seems to want to put the American People and America first. Pelosi is in with that wind energy guy, invested a lot of money with that guy. It will only make money if it is subsidize by tax payers. And she did not seem to know that natural gas is a fossil fuel perhaps she still does not. How a woman could be so ignorant is beyond me. Should she really believes everything that comes out of her mouth, then she has to be ignorant

Pathetically Asking for a Life in Nincompoop world where the lies becomes truth and the truth becomes lies. once you cross the bridge to nowhere into nincompoop world you never come back. it is a world populated by moose hunters and over the hill heroes of wars long ago. it is a wolrd populated by people that admit to knowing nothing about economics and foreign policy experience is looking at a rock belonging to another country. in nincompoop world the quest for power by the moose hunter and the aging hero suffering from an indenity crisis of fanatical grandeur will be the downfall of a once mighty empire. all hail to the moose and the aging hero as nincompoop world crumbles and falls and the bridge to nowhere collaspe into the sea

shakinginmyboots-I'm not even sure she can read.

I can't believe this woman. Hillary worked for 2 years to run a credible campaign and this woman waltzes in and makes women politicians look like lying, well you fill in the word. As a woman I will wait for 8 more years until Hillary or another credible, honest woman runs. There are lots of possiblities for Supreme Court judges and cabinet postions for women in the Obama admin. Our voices will be heard.

In any debate, the person losing the argument will resort to falsehoods and slander due to the fact that they can no longer defend their argument based on its' truthfulness or merits.

This is such a joke Palin is a joke who put her own state in dept. and then charges rape victims for the rape kit, this just adds to the victims shame. What if your poor and can not afford to buy your rape test kit. dose the rapist go free? Sarah Palin is a dirty , and she seem to be a far right radical. and she is no lady .

"Fluffy" the pitbull has lost her so-called audience...this ticket is done.
GO OBAMA!

You know, I find it distressing that Palin and McCain are setting such a horrible example for our yout. What can we expect from our children if they see McCain, Palin, Guliani, and the rest of the republican party acting like ill-mannered children whose parents didnt raise them to be respectable adults? Obama isnt perfect, but at least he hasnt sunk to the gutter like these people have. I think that their behavior says alot them as people.

This women Palin is all fluff, why women would vote for a ticket just because she a women, amazes me. She is drawing crowds based on what exactly, how has she inspired you, I for the life of me can't figure it out.

Are you people interested in her because she can shoot a gun?
She is a Hockey Mom?
She was a mayor, now a Governor

What exactly about Palin is appealing?
Why has she not done any interviews?
What is she hiding by not cooperating with the Alaska investigation?

There is no substance here, to get excited about her.

Someone explain to me what is appealing here.

Billy – Excellent point! I punish my 6 year old for telling smaller lies than Sarah Palin tells on a daily basis – what kind of example is she setting for our families?

am i banned?

Scary Palin for VP (of Russia)

Oh, go shoot a moose Sarah!

Outrageous. She has no right to say those things, that hypocrite. Seh is 100 times worse than Obama. Obama= good. Palin/McCain = bad.

The Geezer and Gidget are laughable. This election really has been a hoot ! McCain/Palin have given us many a giggle, however, this isn't funny any longer, the two of them should be considered armed (Palin anyway) and extremely dangerous.
OBAMA for CHANGE!

MORE LIES...my ears are becoming hardened to the amount of BS that flies out of this woman's mouth.

Steven C is the prototypical Republican supporter. He has absolutely no idea of what is going on and even less than what he is talking about. WOW!!!!

Anyway there isn't anything that can be done about the infirm so best to focus on Palin and how she became Mayor of a small town with no deficit and then left that town 22 million in debt. Now that change you can count on if want another 4 years like the last 8.

Governor Sarah Palin is an authentic populist reformer!

She reinforces Senator John McCain's maverick credentials while she diminishes Obama's rhetoric to words only!

In the final analysis, it is all about character, moral center, core values and listening to everyday Americans! The elitist, left-wing Barack fakes it but Sarah is the real thing!

McCain/Palin 08!

"Palin's claims aren't exactly accurate"

DOES ANYONE ELSE NOTICE A PATTERN?!?!?!?!?!?!

TWO WORDS: BUSH DOCTRINE

BWAAAAAAHAAAAHAAAAAHAAA!!!!!!!

More LIES from Sarah Palin. How anyone can support McCain or her is beyond me. If people lie this much now and are this corrupt now, how do you think they will be in office. Wake up America.

The two liars are on the road again, haha.

That's how uninformed those 2 are about Obamas tax cuts.

Is a disgrace to listen to these proven liars.

Ohio? Don't believe them and don't trust some, they distract you from
republicans failed politics and will continue the old path.

Obama / Biden 08 with real changes we need.

Question: How do you know when an Alaska Governor is lying?

Answer: Her lips are moving

This tactic has been used in EVERY election by EVERY Republican since the beginning of time. It really carries NO MOMENTUM coming from someone like Palin. NICE TRY McCAIN, no one is paying much attention to the two of you any longer. The party's over...literally!

Crash and Burn. McSane is over they have no idea what to say and their own campaign is saying they could not run a company how will they run the USA. The hockeymom and this warmonger is just what we need at this time. People listen to what is being said , they have no idea of what is going on in the USA. Iwould rather whne an eleceteion and then destroy the country. I don't think Mclame is a bad guy he is just out of touch, good thing he invented the "blackberry" maybe someone can show him how to use it.

Republicans!!! Vote for McCain/Palin,...they will lower your taxes, and most of all your income. Are you so stupid as to vote for a [promise of a few dollars tax cut? You may be self destructive people, but we Democrats are not. Vote Obama/Biden 08. The republicans are already into their abuse of power scenarios. No More Bush. McCain/ Palin are losers.

Steven – SC

The answer to your question is: Because it isnt true. Too much Limbaugh causes symptoms of dementia.

Here Is Some Straight Talk For You Mccain! SHUT UP! No One Wants To Here You Anymore!

Palins unfavorable rate has dropped several points since Saturday.

Gibson: Gov Palin, do you think McCain regrets choosing you?

Palin: I bet he's regretting it now.

Can The American people open their eyes to see that we're being con.
That lady is a con, nobody should trust her.

OBAMA /BIDEN 08

CNN is so bias, it is getting sickening. How much of the $77 Million did Obama promise you?

Oh, I forgot to tell you that he just put Harry Reid and the Senate Dems seeking reelection under the bus by not giving money to their senate races.

What a leader, NOT!

PUMA 2008!

Can we put a muzzle on Jimmy. This is exactly what Obama was talking about, if people stay engaged then you would know what's up. Maybe not everything, but you would have a clear idea. It's fools like him that make comments like this. I don't have a problem with you choosing the McCain/Palin ticket, that's your choice, but come at realistically. Considering the Republican party had reign majority of the time which in fact the problem started in their reign, there's no way the Democratic party alone could have fixed it in a matter of 2 years. True, both parties could have done something, but so far as I know, if the Dems were voting for regulations, and the fact the Repugs felt it wasn't necessary with all this big government crap, then perhaps they could have lessen the blow if not all of it. It's hard to achieve anything when the opposing party doesn't which in fact you need there support as well.

What a liar! Palin speaks with a forked tongue and doesn't think twice about it. Pathetic Palin.

Oh my goodness. Who are you, Peter Hamby, to say that Palin's remarks weren't accurate? They're spot on! I don't mind you being a liberal Obama supporter; but what really ticks me off is that you think you can call your spin fact.

so , hammer her on taxes in Alaska.. they hardly pay any . its a state of dead beats.

Im from Ohio....OBAMA 08

i attended the rally ... i guess i missed the exodus after Palin's speech (although – there sure were a whole lot of people leaving when McCain was done). there must have been more in attendance than i realized!

as for the Dems and taxes – Obama promises lower taxes, but also promises so many give-aways to citizens (ie universal health care) that it is impossible for him to do everything. either the taxes don't get lowered or the universal health care (& other promises) don't happen. anyone who knows democratic politics can predict the future - the taxes will go up under Obama, whether he admits it or not.

i sure wish i were an American ... McCain/Palin would get my vote.

She is a FRAUD!!!SHE WILL BE EXPOSED!!!

When I as a child and I told something that "wasn't exactly accurate" my Mom would punish me and call it a lie.

I think we need to start calling a spade a spade.

i wanna talk about john mccain,s military record, i respect his service to the country but what i dont like is the simple fact that the republican brand a war hero, looking back to 2004 when george bush ran against john kerry the republican party used swift boat attack to distort john kerry,s record and i think its unfair.

I am sick of Palin..until she stop reading off the que cards and comes up with so new talking points....she is nothing but a talking head in a skirt..

What does she have to hide...now she doesn't want them to looking in her background...trooper gate.....wow...she had changed...this is sad...the bad back is people are buying her...what happen to people with their minds looking at the issues and the fact...she is a fake

Look who ever gets into the White House is going to have to rais taxes somewhere. McCain says Obama would be a tax and spend President, well guess what, McCain says he is a no tax but we will spend 10 billion a month in Iraq! Ok all you McCain supporters, how is he going to pay for it!!!!!!!!!

This is why she couldn't run a business. Addition, details and facts are critical for a CEO and a VP.

Has Palin ever said one truthful thing since McCain chose her? It's starting to get really annoying that she & McCain think they can lie their way into the Presidency. They act as though voters are stupid which is very offensive.

why wont she answer questions from the media? she wants to play with the big boys but then claim sexism. what a joke

didn't she leave wasilla with 22 million in debt?

Obama Is to GREEN !!! , To Run Anything , Especially The Economy . Look What He Has Done With The 100's Of Millions Of Dollars He's Had His Hands On . I Guess If He Never Had To Earn That Money , He Doesn't Care !!!

No Obama ,

Democrat Voting John McCain / Sarah Palin 2008 – 2016 !!!!!

WHY DO SHE LIE SO MUCH...............................BAD EXAMPLE FOR WOMEN

Every time McCain and Palin open their mouths they lie.

Even Greenspan prefers Senator Obama's economic plan over McCain's.

They are liars even Carl Rove said so. Why is she refuse to coorperate with the invetigation.
Vote smart this November. Vote good judgment. If you say that our economy is good now, you are an elitist and you do not know our struggle to put food on our bellies and gas in our cars. John McCain that elitist think the economy is good and has no plan to help us. He wants more wars, more tax cut for big corporate that ship our jobs oversees. Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania I know that your economies are hurting and you must vote smart and vote someone who understands your economics’ struggles. It is not time to support someone who does not understand the economy, it is time to take our country back and get our respect back around the world. Vote Democratic this November if you are a true American who put America first. We need change in Washington and the Democratic Party has that change for us this November.

Hey Sarah honey – give it up – no one cares what you think (oh that's right you're too dumb to think – I mean what the McBush people wrote on the teleprompter for you to read so it looks like you're smart enough to think!) And before you start jumping all over me – ID BE SAYING THE SAME THING IF SHE WERE A MAN!!!!!

I can't believe people are falling for this fly by night change mantra that the MCSame/Palin is ussing. The man already claimed he doesn't know about the economy and no one blinked when he said it. Now more than ever we need someone who at least acknowledges there is a huge problem with our financial and housing markets. I believe we haven't gotten the true economic picture from the government, because it's holding bacck the news because of the impending election. If these major coprp can suddenly fail, imagine what's happen with the smaller business and mom and pop business.

These scare tactics being used by the Repubs are old tactics, but people seem to falll for them every four years. Most Americans should ask themselves are we better of the last 7+ years. The majority would say no. It is time for a change and new ideas.

The press needs to check the Repubs on not letting Palin talk to the press and quit talking about her if she won't talk. Seems to me she is doing all tht talking from prepared speeches over and over and over. I need to see more than cathc phrases. Let's talk the issues, which the Repubs know they can't win on. So they keep pusing fear, smear and lies, which America really like to hear.

So sick of this LIAR!!! No integrity and down right scary.

McCain and Palin (McPalin) have bnoth been discredited. Yet they shamelessly contineu to lie and smile as they lie and lie more. Incredible. Never seen something like this in my entire life. Why are you suing to stop the troopergate probe? Why won't you coperate with the investigation as you promised? How about those per diem charges, McPalin? And your taxes, too.

Most of her former shareholders remember that Fiorina couldn't run a major corporation either.

I literally can not stand this woman's voice anymore. When she comes on tv, I quickly grab the remote!

Reagan and the Bush's have made this a banana republic, running high deficeits and shipping the manufacturing out of the country.
Open Fort Knox and find nothing but bananas there. Enough of them. We need change. McCain was with them the whole time and never lifted a finger, don't trust him now.....

the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result that never comes. Obviously the McCamp and its followers are all NUTS. they repeat the same lies over and over, have the same old bush advisors running the show, and expect us to believe that this is "Change"
So if you want 4 more years of the Same, you might want to think about getting help.

This is another reason I am voting for Obama. I don't have time to take a chance on a team that I don't like or know (Palin). I am voting democratic for the first time in my life.

Obama/Biden '08

I just want to throw in that interview for Saturday with the Sec of State, proves the case for Obama is right on with how he should address our enemies. And for those of you who didn't have the opportunity to see him address the Jewish community after winning the Primary back in June, he did go into further detail exactly how he would handle the situation when further doing sanctions, etc. I've yet to hear anything from McCain and as far as Palin concerned, she's still studying up her polices. I don't need a quick study, you need to already know.

Here is some straight talk...When can we see your tax returns????

Why are you lying!!! Seriously!!! This is just ridiculous.

"According to the non-partisan Center for Tax Policy, Obama’s tax plan would offer greater tax relief than McCain's for low and middle-income earners, but McCain's plan would lower the tax burden more across the board."

In other words, McCain will give a bigger tax break but ONLY to those who make a 1/4 million or more each year.

if i were obama, i would bring a lawsuit for defamation and slander against mccain, palin and everyone writing the lies they repeat....

She and McBush keep spouting this because, let's be honest, you still have voters out there who are not paying attention and believe this crap. What you have to remember if your a person who doesn't have cable and listening to local channels, which don't give much detail then you only get snippets of the speech. Also, not evey house hold has access to a computer let alone internet to research. True they could go to libraries and other places to get access, but let's be honest, if they are a person that isn't much too interested in finding the facts, then they will only listen to what the candidate says, and also go with their belief, whether the candidate knows what the hell they are talking about or not.

Paul- she said "I won't build the bridge but send the money"- check your facts and stop listening to her. Alaska STILL got the money!
So inessense she misappropriated Federal funds!

PS
AND WHO GOT THE MOST CAMPAIGN DONATIONS FROM FREDDIE AND FANNIE???

1. Chris Dodd
2. Barack Obama
3. John Kerry

In that order.

Palin is over shadowing McCain which makes him look weak and ineffcient.. On a daily basis the Rep's are whining about something someone said about them.. Grow up!! If you're going to attempt to lead this country grow some and quit whining and focus on the issues at hand..
The truth is that with the state of this Country and the bail outs going on for these Wall Street Investment brokers, our taxes are going up no matter who is in office.. A better question is who is going to protect your 401K , pensions and jobs??

McCain's campaign is all about lying to get into the White House. It's McCain's plan that will leave America in the dust. The scary thing is that people believe them. Palin's a bomb that is about to explode.

Not exactly accurate? What about her comment wasn't accurate, nothing, she didn't site specifics, but you are filling in the blanks by trying to perpetuate the lie that McCain – Palin don't speak the truth. Can you do more than one ticker a day that doesn't sound like it was written by the Obama camp?

They must have needed a vacation because these people aren't in the right economic level to hear them say "they feel their pain"
John has never suffered a day as a non-POW- his father was an Adimiral with a great salary. His civilian job paid exceptionally well and then he got remarried to money- talk about out of touch
Sarah isn't important enugh to even mention, but look at her salary and expenses to she doesn't suffer either.

The straight talk is that her running mate is clueless on the economy...has lost control of this campaign...this running mate running further ahead is missing focus on the American people that are really important by creating 9/11 type economic fear...clearly this is the making of a disaster in American government which can be avoided.

like,who's gonna believe anything you say, now? that's what happens when you get caught in a lie. you lose your integrity. i believe nothing the mccain/palin camp. says,after so many proven falsehoods.

I can not believe that this woman is serious in thinking she could do this job. It is laughable if one is watching SNL but for real it scares the poop out of me. Look at our economy after 7 years of Bush, another "shoot from the hip not knowing anything" regular sort of guy.

Can someone please tell me how PALIN is supposed to be so "godly" and yet every second word out of her mouth is a lie!!! She must lay in bed each night and ask God to forgive her lies.

Know how to tell whe Sarah Palin and John Mccain are lying? Their mouths move. ENOUGH!!!

I know Sarah is furiously studying so she can pretend to be well versed in these matters, but someone on the team needs to explain to her the difference between fact, fiction, and fantasy.

Fact:: "According to the non-partisan Center for Tax Policy, Obama’s tax plan would offer greater tax relief than McCain's for low and middle-income earners,"

Fiction: "The fundamentals of the economy are sound"...that would be your boy John.

Fantasy: McSame/Pain 2008. We really are a little smarter than that.

Really Jack...Referring to a grown woman as a girl? How enraged would the media be if a McCain referred to Obama as a boy? Those of you who think Obama is not winning in a landslide because of the color of his skin are stupid. He is not winning because he hasn't put forth a plausible plan to fix anything.

gene September 16th, 2008 8:25 pm ET

here's a little straight talk… "I'm going to lie to all of you about Obama's tax plan and how bad it is… and then I'm not going to give you any details about ours. And then I expect all of you to cheer mindlessly. And Oh… I can see Russian from my back yard."

I couldn't agree more...nice...QFT

She needs to go sit down and be quiet. For someone who's running for VP, but can't give interviews, should be ashame of themselves.

As soon as she does speak with people, they are going to find out she's nothing more than a bunch of hot air.

STEVEN C – Are you suggesting that Obama is waiting until AFTER he gets elected to withdraw troops from Iraq? I really can't make heads or tails out of your comment. Please explain...

This is hilarious. Nothing but lies. But McCain and palin know how to lie very well.

1. Telepromter not working? Lie!
2. Cooperate with an investigation? Lie!
3. Don't know about the economy ( said my mccain in march ) But now
hedoes?
4. O'bama an elitist? ( McCain owns 9 homes, worth millions.gofigure)
5. Made a motion to investigate possible wrong doing in Alaska, then
filed another motion against that motion. DUH DUH
6. Has Lobbyists on his staff that works with AIG and Bank of America
and we bail them out?
7. Ex -chairman that still works for McCain dealt with non regulating
banks and mortgage lenders resulting IN THE ECONOMY WE
NOW HAVE. THANKS MCBUSH, YOU ARE PART OF THE REASON
FOR THE COLLAPSED ECONOMY WE HAVE NOW.

Don't believe me? MSNBC JUST REPORTED THIS 30 MIN AGO>

O'bama/Biden

yep. sleazy, manipulative, say anything to get a vote. if you think palin and mccain give a rat's about the average american, I have a bridge in alaska to sell you. on ebay.

SARAH PALIN DOWN BY 10 POINTS SINCE LAST SATURDAY . . . . .
- – - – - –
. . . . . "PALIN / McCAIN" LIES ARE WORKING. THEY ARE DRIVING DOWN McCAIN's POINTS.

. . . . . . PALIN / McCAIN PLEASE!!!!!! KEEP LYING!!!!! THE LIES ARE WORKING. THEY ARE DRIVING DOWN McCAINS POLL NUMBERS.

. . . . . . PEOPLE – - – DON'T STOP THEM FROM LYING. JUST CALL THEM OUT ON IT AND DOCUMENT THE LIE. . . . ALSO CHALLENGE THEM ON THE LIE , , , , BUT DON'T STOP THEM FROM LYING!!!

Why so many lies Sarah? I thought you christians evangelicals adore the Lord and tell the truth. You can go downstairs for lying just as easily as having an abortion.

Good to hear that they leave when McCain arrives. Apparently they have seen the sideshow and don't need to listen to the pitch...

Steven SC....

Obama is not the president yet, nor is he in charge of ANY military solutions at this point... so how can he possibly personally be delaying troop withdrawels from Iraq? Where are you getting this information?

Dear CNN

You have not covered the story about the meeting in Iraq leaders and Obama. Why? There were demands made.

McCain/Palin

Hey Sarah, still lying about Sen. Obama's plan for tax change? Or are you just dense?

Give em hell Sarah!! I and many friends of mine who were on the fence are now fully in support of you and John!

Sarha – the turth is so foreign to you. Obam wants to END the Bush tax cuts and give a tax break to people who make under 250,000.00 per year. Rove has taught you to lie in a typical mcCain/Bush manner. Your favorability rating has fropped 10 ponts since Saturday because of your lies. Campaign on facts, not on lies made up by McCain and company as you go along! BTW,What are you hiding in Troopergate – your transparency is like looking through a concrete wall.

Steven – SC because it's a lie. Dude, wake up. Stop listening to right-wing trash radio

Hey Steven in SC -

The reason everybody is ignoring it is because it's nothing more than a Republican fantasy – just another lie coming out of the propaganda machine. It's ironic that the party pretending to do the work of God has made a deal with the father of lies....

WHY DO PALIN AND McCAIN CONTINUE TO LIE?? . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . When the whole world knows Obama's plans are to cut taxes for 95% of hardworking Americans. This truth that Obama is cutting taxes for people making less than $250,000.00 is not hidden. But the Palin/McCain lies in spite of the truth? Are they mad!?!?!?

Who is going to pay the bills the tooth fairy?

ALAN GREENSPAN SAID MCCAIN PALIN PLAN WONT WORK!

4 MORE YEARS OF BUSH MONEY?

How about. The McCain's not paying taxes for 4 years (Yes, 4) on one of the homes.

There is a vid of the public official saying what a was and was not paid.

How about Palin not releasing her tax return.

Steven, help save your country! I bet you voted for Bush????? How are you and your family doing today? You still have time to change your mind.

Due to the idiot Gramm deregulating the insurance and banking industries so the could "comingle" the United States government is officially in the life insurance business. The American taxpayers officially own 79% of AIG for the price of $85 billion taxpayer dollars.

Not to worry, McCrypt has decided we need another government "commission" to investigate!

We truly cannot afford 4 more years!

Palin's willingness to twist bend an break the truth is breath taking as it is frightening

OBAMA IS LAZY.
HE DOESNT ACCOMPLISH MUCH IN THE SENATE.
HE WONT ACCOMPLISH MUCH IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

THAT IS WHY HE CANNOT BE PRESIDENT.

BUT HE TALKS WELL.

"Aren't accurate" is today's phrasing of the term most of us know as "lying though their teeth."

I say let's use the term " misstatement" on Wednesday's McCain / Palin campaigning efforts.

Any other suggestions?

Hot air and taxes is all that Obama offers.

Pailin sucks!

Until this woman talks without a script to the press and halts her lawsuits to delay her own LEGAL Investigation until AFTER the Election all I hear from her is SILENCE.

Who is their right mind would listen to this person who like Rove thumbs her nose at our countries legal system. She is MOCKING us all.

WHY SHOULD ANYONE COOPERATE WITH AN ETHICS INVESTIGATION PRODDED BY THEIR POLITICAL ADVERSARIES?

IF SHE IS GUILTY OR WITHHOLDING SOMETHING– SUBPOENA, CHARGE, PROSECUTE.

I DONT BLAME HER OR ANYONE FOR NOT ALLOWING THEMSELVES TO BE SET UP.

Just lies from McCain/Palin. Neither can tell the truth.

Obama/Biden for real change that will help the American People.

I know where I would fall and Obama is my man! McCain/Palin are out of touch with reality...retire and go back to school you two!

Sarah Palin is becoming a giant in American politics. Only 44 years old and already a Mayor, Governor with the highest approval rating in the U.S.–80%, and now VP Candidate.

She'll be around when Biden is long in a nursing home.

Sarah Palin 12 & 16'

I say again that if we let the rich and the corporations keep their tax money with the hope that they will provide jobs, we deserve what we get, more of the last 8 years. It hasn't done us any good so far. The CEO's are still robbing us blind.

Hey CNN, you need to clarify that part about "McCain's plan would lower the tax burden more across the board."

Per your own reporting:
"Those at the top end of the scale would get the biggest percentage cuts under McCain, while households with the lowest incomes would receive the largest percentage cuts under Obama's plan. Obama's plan would offer a tax cut for people earning up to $111,645 a year, according to the analysis. McCain also would offer relief to those taxpayers, but his cuts would be smaller."

The "more" doesn't apply to the "lower tax burden" unless you're at the top end of the scale.... Giving most of the tax relief to the wealthy isn't doing the majority of Americans any favors. You really need to spell it out that John McCain wants to play "reverse Robin Hood".

How many of you own a company? How many of you have employees? When taxes are increased on Corporations and small businesses the cuts will be in your job. Or no bonus or hight prices. Or possibly moving your job overseas like many have already done. Or outsoucing. Why do you think companies do this. Because they are in business to stay in business.

How many of you have an accounting degree?

I rest my case.

I will vote for McCain/Palin Both have honesty, integrity and common sense. And trust me I think John downplays himself a bit. He is not a bragger.

THAT'S OK. OBAMA PROMISED TAX CUTS FOR 95% OF AMERICANS, AND ITS MORE LIKE 80%.
ALL POLITICIANS STRETCH THE TRUTH TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, AND IF YOU CANT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, YOU ARE LYING TO YOURSELF.
WHO ARE THESE GURUS WHO ARE FACT-CHECKING, ANYWAY?

BTW, YOU SHOULD NOT CALL PEOPLE LIARS WHEN YOU HAVE NO PROBLEM AT ALL TAKING THEIR MONEY.

THAT IS NOT VERY NICE.

Lies, Lies Lies!! Do McCain/Palin think that we will start to believe them if they say the lies over and over. It is making me sick. I am scared for all of us if they win this fall. Please...everyone read Obama's platforms, listen carefully and then vote your conscience.

Why don't you tell some more lies McMoosejaw do you lay awake at night dreaming up lies and how you can be twisting the truth ?
I was reading your speech McPegler we heard about your favorite way back in JfK days .Check this name out voters "Pegler" .
How many times do we to see first you will then you won;'t ,then you did then you don't.then you take but return you won't ,Then its yes then its no/ all I know is you must GO back to where you came from

Didn't she leave Wasilla with a deficit and a 30% sales tax?

What's the difference between George Bush and Sarah Palin? George Bush has more credibility!

Why do the republicans lie and others including the media feel that it is OK to lie. The majority of people in Ohio would have their taxes cut.

Who of you out there are idiots enough to actually believe that "the people with money will not invest and promote jobs", as Rush, Hannity, and others on the right try to throw out?

Are you gullible to believe that rich people are going to pull thier money out of investments and bury it in a tin can under a tree? Are they going to not invest to see thier money grow despite taxes? They are going to be content with no increase in thier money's value?

It didn't happen under the Clinton years and it won't happen under an Obama administration.

Stop falling for the smoke and mirrors.

Yes, people turn out to see palin in action just like they go to county fair to see the 800 pound man-–she is freak show. She yaps on and on with the same speech, and says nothing substantive.

She has stubbornly refused to learn anything, will not retract lies, and is arrogantly conceited about her abilities.

A real maverick.

I think Sarah Palin believes that winning is everything, no matter the cost. So if that involves outright lies, which of which she is fully aware, and the Republicans don't seem to care, so be it.

Everytime Keith Olbermann opens his mouth, another white woman and blue collar man jump into the Palin column.

Keith's blatent sexist demeaning of Palin is turning her into an icon as evidenced by the crowds she draws.

Keith-keep it up-we love you down at the RNC.

It's seems like the more notable part of the story is Palin Makes Inaccurate Claims in Ohio"; rather than "Palin hammers Obama on taxes in Ohio".

"not exactly accurate" = LIE

Chapter 10 of 'Mein Kampf" – repeat a lie often enough, and people will believe it...

She needs a new sound recording, or fresh vocabulary added to her speeches. I hear her, but it is the same speech....we will go forward...we have a mission....I am a mother of 5, blah blah blah.

Stop hiding her from being interviewed and being asked general questions from the public...what is going on with the Republicans.
Everything she has had to say, she has said over and over again.
Is she robotic and just wired that way.....

and who was taking care of her kids while she was governor and her husband was on some slope for a week at a time on and off? Just curious, seems he too was not home too much for the children. Her and 1st dudes first priority should be their childern.

Think twice Palin want to attack Russia and Pakistan and give Georgia UN memberships. That was third world war just start by the republicans.
I am a Democrat and I am voting for McCain. Oh no! Why are you betraying Barack? You know why! Because John McCain had invented the Black Barry. I love my blackberry. McCain know Washington for 30 years, Barack is new to Washington. McCain is smart and does not understand the economy and I am thrill to vote for McCain. McCain is rich and Barack is not. McCain has many houses and Barack does not. If I Americans get evicted from their homes they can get a room each from McCain. McCain is the real deal that will shake up Washington and himself because he is an insider. Sarah Palin is a foreign policy expert because she can see Russia from Alaska Joe Biden cannot see Russia from Delaware. This is why I am not voting for McCain.

I don't get it. Can you Palin fanatics explain it to me? Several of her statements are reported by both righ and left leaning journalists and independent fact checkers as false. Yet she repeats them. They lie about how many people have been attending their rallies. They lie about the "broken" teleprompter. They lie about cooperating with a bipartisan investigation. They lie about her record, taxes, where she has traveled....It goes on & on.

What do you support in this person? Is it only that she is anti-choice? Why doesn't the religious right care about the other 10 commandments such as not bearing false witness?

I just don't get it. Some of you will support her no matter what has been revealed and what we will soon learn. The facts don't matter and you'll keep your Palin blinders on.

Besides, does she matter? Shouldn't you be worried that McCain is promoting solutions and ideas straight from the Democrats' platform? He will be the one in the big office. Shouldn't that be driving your vote?

Stop the lies. I'm in the top five per cent of income, and Obama's not raising my taxes. Everything this woman says seems to be a LIE.

Stop reporting her lies already.

miss piglin......enough is enough

LIES LIES LIES LIES will not do this time!

Obama has the third most liberal voting record in the Senate, his Buddy Biden was #1. Of course he will raise taxes and the economy will suffer like it always does.

OBAMA=SOCIALISM

Why does the media not call the McCain camp on their repeated distortions and lying about Obama's tax plan? That not fodder for the last paragraph, it is the main story. Report ! Do some investigation! What are you doing sitting on the sideline and just repeating the lies of McCain! A free, vibrant, vigilant press is vital for a democracy. If you want to call yourselves journalist, you have to earn it. If you don't then we'll have the same "free press" that exists in Russia.

Once again.. Palin makes statements when she doesnt' even know what she's talking about. And on top of that, she uses absolutely NO facts to back up her talking points. She doesn't have to... she's a Republican and their words are Gospel Truth!!!

WAKE UP, AMERICA!!! VOTE SMART... NOT SENILE!!!

An peice done last week by CNN states Obamas proposed budget @360 billion dollars and McCains @415-465 Billion dollars.

The problem with the GOP lower taxes they cut funding to schools costing local town taxes higher, they cost funding for highways to the states costing higher state taxes.

It is smoke and mirrors like ear marks that work out to be@18 Billion dollars heck we are spending that in two months in Iraq getting our young people killed and mamed.

Obama / Biden 08

Ya know CNN, Time Magazine has essentially called Sarah Palin a liar. So has the New York Times and the Washington Post.

CNN, you are conspicuous by your lack of accurate appraisal of Sarah's untruth telling.

I know you really want to run sensational Sarah Palin headlines to make your Republican money masters happy, but, just once, while no one's looking, you can do it, you can call Sarah Palin a liar, and redeem your journalistic soul, if only for a few moments.

What have you got to lose that you haven't lost already?

Good grief, do these two EVER tell the truth?!

Answer real Question, don't just read what they wrote for you girlfriend.

Go Sarah! Stay on the offensive and keep the democrats trying to figure out what hit them until the Obama-Biden ticket is just a winning answer in a trivia game. ( ...was it Obama-Biden or Biden-Obama...I just can't remember these historical political questions!!! )

Why is Obama still running for president???

Delaying Iraq troop withdrawal for political purposes?? What the heck is this country doing ignoring this? Why is CNN ignoring this? Why are Obama supporters ignoring this?

Why?

You folks who keep trying to tie McCain to Bush must think we are idiots. McCain and Bush don't even like each other. They come from completely different backgrounds and it is disingenuous to say a McCain presidency would be four more years of Bush.

McCain has a completely different world outlook and management style than Bush. McCain's cabinet would be totally different as well. I've seen where McCain want Petreus for SecDef, Guilianni for Attorney General and Romney at Treasury. A pretty good team to start I'd say.

What happened to suddenly make McCain this terrible guy when before he was the nominee the Democrats used to say was their favorite Republican.

The way they've gone after Palin is unbelievable. Borders on cruel the way she's been mocked and belittled. She has more experience than Barry Obama. The over-the-top attacks will just help to elect president John McCain.

Obama is an empty suit.

With much given, much is expected...

God expects those who have to give much.... !!!! So Pay your taxes if you want to put your country first!!

We must all do our parts to save America,.. the first is to pay TAXES.. and lots of it...

The fact that McCain offers tax breaks 'across the board' still misses the point, because, the lower down the scale you go, the more and more miniscule those breaks become, to the point that the people who really need those breaks get less than a percent cut off their taxes.

I go to church and my brother tells me he loves God, but he doesnt put tithe 10%, how is this love?

Lies, lies and more lies from the Tina-Fey wannabe. This is a sad day in history for the McCain campaign

If you really want to put your Country First, you SHOULD put as much taxes as YOU CAN, to save America... so stop preaching cut taxess....

PLEASE MCCAIN CAMPAIGN – TELL ME HOW YOUR ECONOMIC POLICY WOULD ACTUALLY MAKE THINGS BETTER!!!!! DON'T JUST TELL ME "OBAMA WILL MAKE IT WORSE"... ALSO, TELL ME HOW OBAMA WILL MAKE IT WORSE, IF THATS WHAT YOU TRULY BELIEVE!!

The lies don't stop. It is truly amazing. Now I hear McCain helped create the Blackberry?? What the heck is that about, I just got in from work. Republicans are the best–at skewing the truth.

Lies....lies....lies....

poor republicans... all the do is copy Obama and lie

Obama will put a higher tax on capital gains, meaning when this housing dip is over, and you (or investors) make an equity profit, it will be taxed even more=less $$ in your pocket. Punishing those investing in the economy...just one example. People think we are in a crisis now, at least now investors are buying short sales, think about if we cut them out of the mix by increasing taxes...wow

If you're gonna say something offensive back your statement up with TRUE facts.

THANK YOU.

More lies from Palin and McCain. Obama will reduce taxes for 85% of Americans. Fact.

This is par for the course for these shameless liars. Really. It is incredible the gall, the disrespect that these two have for the intelligence of Americans.

Whether it's taxes, education or foreign policy, experts from every field now credit Obama with a more sound and reasonable approach to these problems. Palin has lied and/or misspoken relative to every significant aspect of her career. McCain is truly clueless as to the realities of life today. He believes, as Phil Graham said, this is largely a mental recession we are facing. Yes it is a mental recession. When people are losing everything from their jobs to the homes and cars, yes mental depression and anxiety exponentially increases. Yes, mental recession is correct and it's been brought about by 8 years and looks to be extended another 4.

Wake up people.

Heard a great joke today "A vote for McCain would be the same as a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders"

The McCain camp attacks Obama for a fundraiser today while Palin was just taking photographs last week for $50,000 a pop. Wow, those people must be really financially savvy. What HYPOCRITES....once again.

questions I would like answers to:

1. how much does sarah palin spend to get her hair done and how often?
2. what kind of shoes does he wear and how much do they cost?

3. is Sarah Palin really a blood relative of Karl Rove?

4. Has George Bush's brain from 8 years ago really been implanted into sarah palins think skull?

5. Does John McCain really wear depends whenever he gives a speach – just in case.

mccain/palin lie! Listen to the recording on the Governor's own web page at http://gov.state.ak.us. Once at that site Click on Newsroom. Scroll to bottom of screen and click on news archive. Scroll down to August 2008 and click on the ninth entry "Governor to Release Findings" there is at the bottom of that page a recorded phone conversation from Frank Bailey, Governor palin's Boards and Commissions Director, to a Lt. Commander in the Alaska State Police in February 2008. Listen for yourself and see what you think about Troopergate. These folks are real sleazy. Can anybody say "pardon"?

OMG – I'm reading postings of people with rational thoughts! And who actually know the facts. I can't believe it. I'm starting to feel some hope. I'm hoping the rest of the country will wake up to the fraud Palin and McLame are. The thought of Palin with her hand on the button frightens me.

Go Obama!

McCain and Palin are nothing but liars.
We don't need more liars in the White House.

Palin, Release your tax returns!

Why are McCain's military records sealed?
Why won't McCain release all his medical records including mental evaluations?

This woman is a liar and a thief. She lies with a straight face and she is a vindicative person, who will cause our country to be in more trouble. If she cannot run a corporation, how can she run the free world. Liar Palin go home. Mcsame and Palin will lose the Alaska and Ohio vote.

McCain's experience with the last financial crisis was as a member of the Keating 5.

Whenever McCain or Palin tell their audiences that Obama will raise their taxes, they are telling the truth. Ever see an audience of McCain supporters made up of people making less than a quarter million a year? :3

I am so sick of hearing this lie over and over again...Obama will hurt businesses and hurt workers with his taxes. No that is happening right now, under GEORGE W. BUSH!! when he cut taxes...Have you checked out the economy lately?

Jason-

I didn't see anything in the plan that said he would raise taxes on small businesses. Where are you getting your information?

I am a small business owner and I believed his tax plan would help me. Maybe I'm wrong so please give me your source.

If Susie P can dish out dirt, she should be able to take it. I am frankly tired of hearing every day how she is closely guarded and will not take any questions or do any interviews. People, wake up!!! This woman said herself that she has no idea what a vice president does. This woman is refusing to cooperate with the ethics investigation that she is currently under. She repeats the same exact lies each and every day about how she stopped the bridge to no where and how she sold the state's plane on E-bay. Lies, lies, and more lies. We need to hold this woman and McSame accountable for their lies. Enough is Enough!

Obama/Biden 2008

So "Bush like"...that straight talk riddled with down right lies! Ever notice the eyes? There is absolutely no expression or emotion.

And as the next bit of drama is fixing to drop on Palin, she criticises Obama. Her corruption in Alaska is going to take front stage very soon. That and the Keating Five scandel starring John McCain should just be enough to give the election to Obama. More and more she displays the characteristics of CHeney/Bush, with secrecy and inaccessability to the news media. Yeah more of the McSame.

Obama is offering tax breaks solely to get elected. Once in office expect to see some of the highest tax increases in history across the board to pay for all of his grand schemes.

How people can fall for this bs is beyond me.

Sarah Palin is a joke.

Of course, if all you've got is Hot, what crazy citizen will expect you to understand "tricle up" economy?

There really should have a test to become president and vip. Then the McBush bush and palin of this world would have to stay moose hunting in Alaska, while moonlighting as governor when hunting is over.

"Palin's claims aren't exactly accurate"

In other words, they are innaccurate.

In other words, they are false.

In other words, she is lying.

Time to stop walking on eggshells, people.

Dear "Unbiased"

"Diplomatic," "Humanistic," "Reasonable," and "Stern when you have to be" are not qualities they ADJECTIVES. Perhaps you should add "grammatical" and "eloquent" to your list–as in the president should have grammatical as well as eloquent if he is going to convince voters that he can speak to other countries on our behalf. But then again, I guess that's just me being elitest, and we've all seen how well everything worked out over the last eight years with President Whatchamacallit.

You know that static, scrambled screen of a tv on full blast when its not connected to cable? That's what I hear out of Palin's mouth when she isn't connected to reality! ALL THE TIME

Palin is lying through her pretty face. She is not qualified to be VP a heartbeat away from the Presidency. What was McCain thinking? Why didn't he investigate her background before he picked her as his running mate.
The truth will come out about her corrupt administration as governor of Alaska. The troopergate abuse of power case will undo her and that is good for all of the people in the US who do not want a book burner right wing nut job barbie doll for Vice President.

Keep her in Alaska

Palin,
Three words--abuse of power.

Obama/Biden 08

Sarah Palin saying 'here's a little straight talk ' makes you wonder what is going on in her head.
She has to know that most of the country knows by now that she is a serial fabricater. Doesn't she care?
I wonder just what her values really are.

Palin is proving everyday that she is EXACTLY what we need in Washington.

SHAKE THINGS UP SARAH!!!!!

palin raised taxes in alaska as mayor ran for gov and left wasilla in a finanical mess. when will we hear her speak to the press, answer a ? or even show that she is not just a stump speech. and the 1st dude and mc cain looks dumb hideing behind a woman, they dont look like men but whimps.

When is this chick going to face the PRESS?

What is she hiding?

I think that we all know; Not much after memorizing the party line!

Once again Sarah is LYING about Obama's tax plan. Why does the media let her keep getting away with it? The media should be HAMMERING HER but they have been scared away by the McCain campaing crying foul and calling them names.

SARAH THE LIAR AND DECEIVER – WHAT WOULD JESUS THINK OF HER?

You know science says that if a person commits the same act 13 times in a row, it becomes a habit. That the individual does not have to think about how to complete that act any longer, it become almost instinctual Well I think we have all heard the same lies over and over again at least 13 times.

Scientifically speaking, that makes you Mr. McCain and Mrs. Palin Habitual LIERS.

What kind of leason is this to teach to our children, what kind of example is this to send to the rest of the world.

There is NO Honor, without Honesty!

When is America going to learn. The republican economic policies do not work because of GREED,GREED,GREED. In theory they should work but havn't worked since the Eisenhower administration when everyone was relatively HONEST, HONEST, HONEST. Then came Newt Gingrich and congress started ME,ME,ME. and trash talking,instead of WE,WE,WE. Then everyone followed the money. Now we have LIES,LIES,LIES, and WAR,WAR,WAR. Also if god was on our side, the war would have been over. The country is at the edge of the cliff with the economy and I hope we don't end up with Dipstick and Lipstick. ALOHA

I was at the rally in Vienna. Voters in the way-way-way back might have left after Sarah Palin's speech, but the throng of people behind me and in front of me stayed put until the end of John McCain's speech. Everyone was thrilled to hear McCain speak!

CNN is defending OBAMA again.......

I strongly advice CNN to write more and find more negative about McCain & Palin and only write positive about Obama showing him as a genius ....

But, don^t do it so openly....

Hillary supporter for McCain and Palin.

If I hear one more war story or the No Thank You Bridge lie, I will probably need an aspirin. When McCain/Palin are not telling their truths they are bashing Obama. Don't they have something to talk about ....like maybe the issues? One thing for sure, Palin can see Russia from her front room living room. That's nice.

List did she say:

(Palin) I raised sales taxes to build a sport arenna and left my town in debt(in the red, in the negative, broke!!!!!!!!!!!). Did she say that she lies everyday she speaks. Did she say well Obama is going to give you more of a tax break than McCain. Remember we are talk about McCain and Obama they do not earn less than 225,000 so remember how is willing to do this and how is not. McCain want to cut taxes for the people that make more than 2,500,000 (himself and Cindy). Did she say how much look at fact check for all what I am saying and you will see his tax break for himself. To break it down for you people that do not get it. If you make less than 225,000 dollars your taxes will not go up. Which will give you at least 1000+. McCain said he will up the tax credit but remember you have to make less than 38000 a year to given get that. Think people tell me what is going to help the most to everyday people and what will not. Come on Palin/McCain Oops McCain/Palin folks. Tell me what is your Spin. Do not give me she is a reformer or that crap give me some real issue. Unless that is not why you are voting.

Palin, not exactly accurate? NAH!

Palin's claims aren't exactly accurate: Obama would maintain the Bush tax cuts and offer tax breaks to individuals making under $250,000 a year. According to the non-partisan Center for Tax Policy, Obama’s tax plan would offer greater tax relief than McCain's for low and middle-income earners, but McCain's plan would lower the tax burden more across the board.

DOESN'T THIS WOMAN READ THE NEWSPAPER OR WATCH CNN OR MSNBC? WE KNOW SHE IS A CRAZY LIAR?

Today I saw Obama on TV in speech mapping out in detail his OWN ECONOMIC STRATEGY. Why are McCain spokesmen mapping out McCain's strategy? Can't John McCain speak for himself? Or is it that he doesn't know enough about the economy to tell us what HIS economic strategy would be?

CAN'T AFFORD 4 MORE YEARS OF BUSH/MCCAIN ECONOMIC STRATEGY

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Sarah Palin is a liar and is out to deceive the Am people. First impression lasts. First she plays the victim, that the press is out to get her so she can avoid any interactions with them, for fear that the truth about her will come out. I dont believe that people would be dumb enough to buy this.

To jimmy and sick Cap & Dash key blogger here:

If lying about Obama's tax plan is all you got, you are pathetic. When Clinton took office Dow was 3226. He left office with a Dow of 10600. Now, Dow is 10,900. So, you like Bush's economy, vote McCain. He has a parking lot in Pheonix worth more than your house. Get a grip.

Imagine this: Palin telling lies about Obama's tax plan. Can you believe it? Oh, that's right, she parrots whatever McNothing tells her to, regardless if it's truthful or not. And the scary thing is that a lot of dim-witted republican's will believe her!!! Why are American's so stupid?

You know what? Palin isn't cute anymore. She is starting to wear dangerously thin.

OHIO JOIN CANADA!!

If the Republicans get back in – come and join Canada

We will try to help you get :
Jobs
Health Care
Houses
Dignity
Repsect

Republican sent jobs to China and India and gave these companies tax credits and breaks to take jobs awake from North America – yes not just the US but Canada as well – do the research CNN!
Ask the Republicans how much money they owe to China?
Where was McCain when this was happening. This just didn't happen over night!

Republicans hurt North America BIG TIME!!!

If they get in – Lou – we are building a wall!!! to protect our country,

Jimmy – Obama is incorrect that McCain is responsible for the lousy economy. THE ENTIRE REPUBLICA PARTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MESS WE ARE IN.

Um... you should read the article on CNN/Money about what affect each candidate will have on your taxes. Honestly the "Democrats will raise your taxes!!!" line is such BS. Yeah... if you're making under $100K, you're better off with Obama tax-wise... if you're above, you just get a smaller tax break than with McCain. If you're way higher, then you'll start feeling the pain of taxes... but who writing/reading this blog entry makes over $603K? People are so gullible... the GOP use the scare tactic with raising taxes to bring benefits to those who make the most money... good job for being used by the GOP.

not individuals at $250K re-read it, that would be families at $250K a big, big difference.

besides 40% of those he's talking about don't pay ANY taxes.

Her 9 pound hammer is made out of "fluff"!!!

Unbiased....from your post I take it you are voting Obama/Biden.

I guess if she had lied or made a snarky comment they would have said her comments were very "Palin-like," and if she had been confused or in complete denial they would have said her comments were very "McCain-like." I really love how when these guys screw up they always take a cheap shot at the other-side. It's very presidential of them.

Palin out trying to clean up fact McCain doesn’t not get that real people are hurting.
It won’t work Sarah

To Unbiased , I think you are biased , people are real mad some of us lost our home ,jobs and it was not our fault,we are so bitter clinging to Guns and our religions! we are alreadly considered what you mentioned long time ago and we are going full speed ahead , we can not be cheated this time.

As the shine comes of Palin and McCain slipping with his own supporters it looks like they have hit their high water mark a while ago.

Straight talk my @ss McCain. Come out and face the press and take some real questions. bring your VP hopeful with you. It seems that straight questions bother you.

obama is in hollywood driving streisnad's motor home.
he is the newest plaything for hollywood.

reminds them of their housekeeping staff.

after the election he could be streisand's butler.
oh, i forgot if he loses they won't have a any use for him.

how many brown slaves does streisand have working her 100% air conditioned palace?

Has anyone else noticed that Alaska is a total welfare state? I am seriously thinking about moving there if these wackos (McCain/Palin) get in.

I heard Lie-berman say yesterday that Palin has a little Reagan in her.
That;s gross

But she don't know what she is talking about.

taxes taxes taxes. taxes pay for things, like schools, or wars, or bridges.
people who make more money can afford to pay more taxes.... soo...people who make under 250,000 perhaps they should pay less taxes than say a billionaire....
palin lies, it's all she knows how to do.

The Independent Tax Policy Center has already proven Palin to be lying about this one. The Wall Street Journal has proven Obama's tax policy is superior to McCain's and the McCain surrogates were called out BY FOX.

There is no question, Obama's tax policy is superior to McCain.

Those in power with money are so desperate to hang onto it they'll put up a serial liar whose real goal is to deny choice to women who are victims of rape or incest. And now, has been outed as The person who chose to charge women $1200 per 'rape kit' because it could reveal a possible pregnancy they might want to abort.

McCain's tax policy is why SO FEW ACTUAL ECONOMISTS BACK McCAIN'S PLAN.

His health plan, noted today in the Wall Street Journal, will also result in fewer enrolees, and will tax the health care premiums of those who can afford care.

And all that, Sarah Palin, is no lie.

"When Palin finished her introduction of McCain, scores of voters soon proceeded to file out of the venue, one more sign that the Alaska governor is the force behind the ballooning crowds that have turned out for McCain in recent weeks."

So is Sarah Palin now "the biggest celebrity in the world"?

McCain and the Michigan GOP are trying to stop people who have lost thier homes from voting. They are apparently planning to do this in all close states. Follow the link or check the article on pollster.com.

http://www.michiganmessenger.com/4463/obama-campaign-files-suit-over-foreclosure-lists

More proof that the Republicans are not for the common man. They only want to use the common man to promote the wealthy.

Just because McCain would offer tax breaks for individuals making more than $250,000 a year, doesn't mean that it "helps more across the board."

Fact still remains that someone making $3M a year won't miss $500K in taxes as much as someone making $20K a year would appreciate a $500+ break.

This is a simple shame. How stupid does Sweet Polly think we are. McSame just stand back with quick blinks of eyes and listen to his trained partner just lie. I bet every lie came with a YES BLINK!

Anyone who would believe one word Palin said is a fool.......
an absolute fool

Dear Sarah Palin,

Since I'm certain you can read – please actually read Obama's tax plan – perhaps someone can put it on some notecards or a teleprompter for you.

As for you McCain/Palin Supporters – you might want to stop listening to the "straight-talk" express – and listen to the actual truth from the Obama/Biden campaign.

....next time any of you dimwit-ocrats get the chance, please ask your weak candidate how he managed to go from having nothing at the beginning of the Bush presidency to becoming a multi-millionaire. Just doesn't seem possible if the economy was as bad as he claims. But as we all know, Barry is just another politician that will say anything to get elected, yet you dims will not get past party politics long enough to realize it.

The Palin ship is sinking and not much to help keep her up. Just lies lies lies. Typical right wing noise. END OF THE CONSERVATIVE REVOLUTION! Fiorina is right. They cant be CEOs of a company because they cant manage with the say out of their mouth. Obama/Biden 2008!

"not exactly the truth??
Why yes Obama would provide tax relief for lower income Americans, the taxes that he would increase would cruch small business, growth, and the fundamental american fundamental belief of entrepenuership. The effects of these increased taxes would cost jobs and income to all americans, thus making his "tax cuts" a moot point.

Don't blame JImmy if Jimmy wants Mccain Let him vote that way. If Mccain wins and thats a big IF, he can kick himself later be the whiner Phil Gram says he is.

Palin claims Alaska "produces nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy

Fact Check:
Alaska's share of domestic energy production was 3.5 percent, according to the official figures kept by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

This straight talk express (McCain-Palin) is lying all the way to the whitehouse

she pulled a McCain

LIE!

Unfortunately For McCain, the voting public has found out Palin is a pathalogical liar.Nobody is dumb enough to believe what she says anymore.
No one wants to be lied to-a fact McCain/Palin fails to acknowledge. They just keep repeating the original lies and pile on more whoopers. In the real world people get in trouble for lying.Fired from jobs, put in jail,stuff like that. IT IS NOT OK TO LIE. IT IS NOT OK TO LIE and then make up more stories to explain why you did it. Lie that is.Do you think for one minute the lies stop if they get elected? NO, they will get worse and the whole nation will be in jeopardy.

"hammers Obama on taxes?" what republican-paid intern came up with that headline? "Palin misrepresents Obama's tax plans" with a minor header of "ignorance or shamelessness? nobody knows" would be a ton more accurate.

What does she know about being broke , Republicans proved themsleves time and time again that they are not for small people in this country, what is wrong paying more tax for your country if you make over 250,000 anually , to me that is also one way being patriotic. Who was she talking to anyway? People whose jobs shifted overseas? or people who lost their houses? or strugling single mothers who often drop their kids to their parents so they can go to work for minimum wage, or some janitors? this shows how Gop are out of touch! they good at spewing lies so can get elected! who are responsible for this economy mess that we are in? she needs to got back to Alaska and take care of her pregnant teen daughter as she is supposdely evangelical!!!!!!!!!

jimmy September 16th, 2008 8:25 pm ET

-------------------------------
Hey idiot, as you've already been schooled about your lack of research and accompanying lack of intelligence as a result, If you and Lou Dumbbs would stop listening to every lying Republican on Fox Noise and research for yourself, you would see that the Repugnican Congress and Prez Idiot would stop the Democratic congress at nearly every turn whenever they tried to push through a bill that would help your sorry @ss. There are NOT enough democrats in Congress to overturn a filibuster by the Repugnicans and they made sure they filibustered whenever they could too. Those bills that got past them were promptly vetoed by the idiot in the Whitehouse now. If half the uneducated in this country actually tried to LEARN something about how Congress worked, we wouldn't have stupid, regurgitated comments by parakeets like you.

I just have to be for the guy who says he will bring about tax relief for those under $250,000. The Republicans just can't get out in the world and see what is happening in our country. If they see, they choose to believe that these people just aren't working hard enough or are simplistic. Eight years of this is plenty for me.

Jimmy... first of all STOP CYBER SHOUTING!! Secondly, this congress is not do-nothing. in fact they want to get on with things, and do actual work that will benefit America. The truth is that the Dem majority simply refuses to be bullied by Republicans who are trying to back them into a corner when it comes to off shore drilling. And Pelosi has said – in case you weren't paying attention – that we don't need to drill off shore, there are places that haven't been tapped that are legal and already available. Republicans only want Americans to think that there is no other way, and are using that argument to clog up congress and keep our country stagnant. smoke and mirrors, and nothing more, to win this election "my friends." Go ahead and buy into it, but you WILL BE the fool.

Why on earth does the Mccain camp keep such a tight rain on Sarah, I thought she was a big girl. She says it was a taks of god for the iraq war, hopefully it will be a task of god to take these two pituful creatures out of this election. Oh god please help us on this matter.

The RICH folks are really afraid of Obama– He will raise their taxes.

Here, we see the poor fighting to keep the Rich in power (to get richer) by voting for McCain and Bush!!! How great it is to be educated, as well as have "common sense."

To be a Republican, you only need to be Dumb!!

McCain/Palin claim change is theirs, and they think they're known as "Mavericks", They're not known for doing anything legitimate of any notable scale on a bipartisan basis in their careers in actual service to the public. It is typical rhetoric from a pretty face and a senile old man. Attention McCain/Palin supporters, you are being taken for fools, save gas and stay home on election day.
This from a former Republican.

Will somebody tell me what's wrong with raising taxes ?? Socialism is GOOD...

Here we go again. Sideshow Sarah and her pack o' lies. Finally people are waking up and calling them on the "if you say the lie long enough it becomes true" approach.

You know when I read these blogs I just get the sense that most Americans are really tired of all the lies and spin that the McCain Campain keeps putting out. Why are the they continuing to show the polls that reflect that McCain is ahead. What about all the polls that still show that Obama is ahead on the Economy and ahead in some states that Democrats don't normally win. I think that the country is just tired of all this campaign spin and mumbo jumbo....look for a significant poll change in the coming weeks. Obama/Biden 08.

Perhaps you should explain to all the parents of special needs kids that you claim to be an advocate for, just why you vetoed $275,000 from the Special Olympics budget while governor of Alaska, therefore, cutting it by half.

We adults can handle the many lies we have come to expect from you about your record, but this is particularly grievous, because with friends like you, these kids do not need any enemies!

Why would she start making accurate claims now? She never has before. And why not talk about how she left a town of 5000 people $20 million in debt after it was debt-free when she came into office? She sure sounds good with money!

I can't BELIEVE these voters are falling for her lies. They should be booed off the stage when they make these false claims!

I'm really glad Palin mentioned the word taxes. Where is McCain and Palin's taxes for the last 10 years?

Research McCain tax plan. It's no scecret, and a great plan. Government should not be running our lives and MCcain/Palin should be everyone's vote unless you don't agree. Democrats=High taxes and big government spending; Republicans=Low taxes and small government spending. Simple, or google Lindsay Lohan, Puff Daddy, Pamela Anderson, or Luda for political advise...smart people

She's a school teacher and thinks that Republicans lower taxes? Seriously? Where the have you been the past 8 years? Holy crap!

SARAH DEAR,BEFORE HAMMERING ANYBODY PRESENT YOURSELF TO THE COUNTRY PROPERLY,DONT HIDE.

Why say the truth when YOU have a gullible American group of voters.

Any union person who votes for McBush needs to get on the next boat along with where his/her job is going to go.

America....when are you going to learn that the GOP CANNOT handle the economic issues we have.

Why can't this barbie part her lipsticks without telling a lie? What's wrong with her?

Everytime I'm about to read something about her or hear her speak, i'm nervous that half what she'll is going to say will be lies..

common now America, don't we deserve something better than this clown?

This is begining to be offensive.
Lie Lie and Lie some more.
If this becomes a pattern she will loose all trust in people especially true Christians that support her.

I love how the Ticker says "not exactly accurate" call them what they are: lies. People's jobs are at stake and you are letting this stuff spew forth unchallenged. No wonder McCain is ahead in the polls.

Yes, we should look at the party that controlled Congress for the past eight years. The Republican Party controlled the Senate from 1995 until 2007, except for a brief period from June 2001 through November 2002. The Republican Party controlled the House of Representatives from 1997 until 2007.

Thus, the Republican Party has controlled Congress for almost 9 of the past 11 years.

Considering that we have also had a Republican president for the past eight years, should not a preponderance of the blame for our sliding economy go the Republicans?

It never ceases to amaze me that people fall for half-truths or just out right lies.

Off shore drilling is not going to help us – let me amend that – it won't help those of us who live paycheck to paycheck. Its past time that we realize this. Looking for alternatives should have started to happen in the 70s after the oil embargo. Once again we were too lazy to do this and when the embargo was lifted, we went back to our gas guzzling ways.

The mess that we are in started during the Reagan administration. The Laissez-faire, "trickle down" style of economics – no regulation for business at all – plus the greed of corporate America, our own out of control spending (yes we are partially to blame), and the tax cuts are some of the many issues causing the current melt down.

A government's – whether it be Federal, State or Local – source of income is taxes and fees. Any time you take away from that income, you need to cut expenses. This is Economics 101. However, we, the public keep demanding that taxes go down, but yet demand that services be improved or increased. So where is the government suppose to get the money to improve services? Companies who provide governments with services – asphalt for the roads, parts for various pieces of machinery, cars for the police, etc – are not just simply going to give these to governments out of the goodness of their hearts. What about the money to pay employees? Or are you suggesting that government employees not get paid or get pay raises?

Lets be realistic. Our Federal government is bankrupt, this has already trickled down to State and Local governments who are now seeing more demands being placed on them that the Feds would/should have paid for.

The RICH folks are really afraid of Obama– He will raise their taxes.

Here, we see the poor fighting to keep the Rich in power (to get richer) by voting for McCain and Bush!!! How great it is to be educated, as well as have "common sense."

To be a Republican, you only need to be Dumb!!

Sara, Sara, Sara, Whine, Whine, Whine. Dr. Phil Gramm with lipstick.

WHY DOESN'T O BAMA SHOW US HIS REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE RATHER THAN THOSE THREE BOGUS ONES HE HAD MADE DURING HIS TRIP TO HAWAIII...obamacrimes.com CHECK IT OUT COMING TO A THESATER NEAR YOU///

I just read the Obama plan (BTW you can download it from his website). I highly suggest you learn to read!

Sarah/John, What do you have for us? We know you think that we are FUNDAMENTALLY STRONG but we don't feel so hot just now. Our retirement savings are shrinking, our banks are failing and every other house in our neighborhoods are abandoned. What ya got?

Why does she continue to lie....and why are many Americans falling for her lies? Oh....I know. She talks a big game to hype the crowd. She's a "Hype-woMan" like the rapper use.

I own a small business, and the bottom line is that, unless my clients have jobs, my business will sink. I have looked at Obama's tax plan vs McCain's.... Silly Sarah can try to equate her family with mine all she wants, but I'm not falling for that. Unlike the Palins', my family doesn't have an income over $200K (Hmmmm, how about those tax returns, Palin family??) , and my children are working their way though college, not quitting high school to get married and start a family.....

Stop Palin / Rove from destroying Social Security !

Wake Up Ohio. How many times will you be duped by the republicans?

McPain!!!

Palin cut the Special Olympics budget in half in Alaska, great job Palin. What a trooper palin is? She not only can't run a company she can't run her own house. Kids Gone Wild.

I wonder why Palin continues to say the same thing over and over again?

Until this liar can answer questions for anyone, she should just shut up!!!

When Palin finished her introduction of McCain, scores of voters soon proceeded to file out of the venue, one more sign that the Alaska governor is the force behind the ballooning crowds that have turned out for McCain in recent weeks.

LOL. I would strongly advice Mccain hire a wine or food taster.

To all you biased fools that post on here,

What makes a good President...
Leadership
Intellect
Drive
Determination
Diplomatic
Humanistic
Reasonable
Stern when you have to be.

If you vote on who you think would make the best president, please consider each of these qualities very carefully and as unbiased as you can. Then, and only then, will your vote be a smart vote.

Solutions, not LIES – you are one of the smart people. You realize all that crap about congress having a lower approval rate than the current "thought challenged" goof in the white house; is because "shrub" 43 has veto power. Oh ...that's right....3 equal branches.

Its nice to know that there are people with the capacity to understand the facts. If not, they're voting for the POW and the Spokesmodel runner up Ms. Alaska, sportscaster chick – oops I'd bet that's sexist.

lets stop the word games or the projections of either candidates statements. the mediators and the "elite" politcal analyists are way out of line even when they interview these candidates.

the use on common sense should tell these people who are harping about drilling for oil in the ocean, that the best solution would be drill for oil ,on land, move the oil rigs inward and get out of hurricanes way.

HOW EVER THIS MAKES SENSE.

Good job Sarah!

Republicans throw more crap just to see how much sticks and there are Americans buying it.

But the Palin the Puppet bubble is beginning to burst, thank God. Read the Newsweek article in the drop of her favorablility rating. The largest drop of anyone in the race.

Wake up America. If you're voting for Palin because she is white stay home and don't vote or vote for Nader.

No, but Sarah believes that if you tell a lie often enough, people will believe it. It's up to the news media to publish both party's lies.

It is the Bush administration and the Reps in Congress who have vetoed and filibustered everything in the past 2 years. Bush has set a record for the number of vetoes he has issued during this time. The Dems don't have a sufficient majority to overcome these tactics and it is quite obvious to anyone with their eyes open that it has been an effort to be able to make the claim that the Dems did nothing in Congress for the past 2 years once we got to this point in time.

The REALITY is, the Reps prevented anything from happening to quicken our economic demise and point the finger at the Dems as payback for taking a simple majority in Congress. It was a campaign strategy that began 2 years ago for them and the relentless parroting of it is the proof of the pudding. Pretending a simple civics lesson doesn't undo the argument is another LIE.

FACT: Obama's plan will lower taxes for more people in America than McCains' tax plan. This is what the media should report, and hedging by saying McCain/Palin's LIES "aren't exactly true" does a disservice to the American public and is a gross dereliction of your duty as alleged journalists.

Jimmy, shout all you want you're still dead wrong.
Obama has been in the senate two years, not four. The GOP has controlled the White House for eight years. The GOP – McCain included – have controlled both houses of congress for six of the last eight years. For the past two years the Dems have had a bare majority in congress...not enough to override Bush's vetoes...hence they still can't get anything done.
Even the most conservative economists confirm that offshore drilling will make a maximum difference of pennies a gallon, and only after 10-15 years.
Do your research instead of letting Rush and Hannity do it for you....Obama's plan will cut taxes on 95% of the population. McCain has stated that he knows little about economics. The architect of his economic platform is Phil Gramm, the guy who spearheaded the deregulation of the financial sector that has now begun to unravel...the same guy who stated we're in a psychological recession and are a nation of whiners.
And if you want to talk flip-flops, take a good long look at McCain and Palin...each of them has changed positions WAY more than Obama has. And Palin has been shown to practice the same cronyism and corrupt politics as Cheney.
The GOP are trying to win the election by lying about their records and distracting the public with shiny objects...and idiots like you are falling for it.
Obama is far from perfect...but considering what McCain/Palin are offering, there's no contest.

I have complete faith in stupidity of people of OHIO. They made mistake in 2000 & 2004. & They'll repeat it in 2008 too!

@Jimmy, you are correct.

Democrats have demolished this country. Economy was suffering a bit in the early years of Bush due to international markets pulling out equity in US investments. This undermined the dollar and thus weakened our economy in a time of war. However, Democrats have compounded the problem by pushing for larger ethanol standards and that has in turn reduced corn crops spiking food prices even higher. Now that Pelosi lied and has done nothing since getting control of congress for over 2+ years now, it is about time that Democrats stepped aside. They are truly DO NOTHING with the WORST approval rating in the history of our entire government.

DO NOTHING DEMOCRATS. And they sit there and blame Bush for vetoing things...he has hardly vetoed anything. When he did, it was always some ridiculous baked in bill that had 20 items in it that lost focus. Democrats need to FOCUS on one thing at a time and stop this bill loading that they do. Introducing a bill that says Windfall Oil Taxes, Green Energy PRoduction, and oh btw stop speculators, it is destined to fail. But in a political election year, they do this intentionally to say LOOK BUSH VETOES OUR STUFF.

Democrats need to wake up and realize their leadership has failed this country big time. Look at the Clinton/Obama debacle...what a joke that was.

And keep in mind, I voted for Kerry in 2004!!!! But I am tired of Democrats wasting opportunities and doing ZERO for America.

Obama has not outlined a SINGLE plan in his campaign...just mad that McCain Palin are using the term change now.

Oh ,well he did say he wants to raise taxes.

Thanks, but no thanks to the McCain/Palin TICKET TO NOWHERE

Palin is little more that a sick ploy by the Republican strategists to manipulate female voters. Sadly, for this demographic, it is working.

Todaty the National Organization of Women announced its backing of Obama/Biden. This speaks volumes.

She clearly does not understand the needs of a modern women. I relate to nothing about her, except that she's a working mother. Not enough.

Signed a Democrat, mother and sociologist from Michigan

Unregulated markets led to the great depression/1929 market crash. The Bush/McCain Economic Theory is to remove all regulation and government function because "Markets are Efficient." However, as we have seen recently markets are chaotic and life without government function is not always pleasant (see Katrina and more recently Ike). People with real money can overcome this unpleasantness and reap the benefits of market efficiencies. People who make less than the 90th percentile often find such chaos overwhelming and disruptive to their plans and dreams. Personally, I'm willing to pay for the stability that government can provide. I think that Gov. Palin knows that most people are like me, so she has done her level best to distract the voters from the issues. I feel that this country needs a CHANGE that Palin/McCain will NEVER provide.

Obama/Biden '08/'12

For Peter and Jimmy
Please tell Palin to answer questions and stop reading cards pre-written. You guys and just funny McCain and palin has been on the attack and trying to steal everything from Obama. From Change, to more of the same. This morning he stole the las slogan Enogh is enough. Common fact check found you out. Obama did propose the stimulus package and he voted a day before he hit the campaign trail. Democrates have control of congress in the last two years and i believe Republicans have the same congress for 8 yrs earlier. Drill here drill now wont heal our energy independence.

She should be hammering herself on that bridge to nowhere and troopergate!

more lies from the McCain camp...it is getting to the point where we can not believe a word coming from their lips.under Obama's plan we would see 3x the amount of relief, under Obama's plan if you make less than $250,00.00 you see a tax cut, under Obama's plan small businesses see more relief, under Obama's plan health care, under Obama's plan 5 million new green jobs=5 million new consumers=stronger economy, under Obama's plan we have 150 billion invested in green energy, under Obama's plan we have a stronger safer America...under McCain we see, LOBBYIST running the country, abolition of abortion, DRAFT, more war Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and Russia, lees benefits for vets, higher taxes, higher gas prices and a corrupt VP...seems like a no brainer

surprise, another lie! Is anything that comes out of her mouth true?

John McCain voted against the minimum wage raise several times, and
He cares?

Not this time. Not this year. No way No how No McCain No Palin.

Palin is the next Cheney. and John McCain is the next W. Can they tell you anything that is true? This is the last stand for the republicans for awhile, they know it, and that is way they will do , and say anything to stay in office.

WHAT OBAMA KEEPS HARPING ABOUT IS BLAMING MCCAIN FOR THE ECONOMY.. IT IS THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION WITH THE DEMOCRATIC DO-NOTHING -CONGRESS WHO PUT AMERICA IN THIS MESS. OBAMA HAS BEEN IN THE SENATE 4 YEARS AND HE
HAD NOTHING TO OFFER TO THE PROBLEMS OUR COUNTRY

--------

It's amazing how much stupidity can be crammed into one post.

The Dems have had the majority in Congress for only the last 2 years but it's their fault.

McCain has been in the Senate for 26 years but Obama and his 4 years in the Senate are at fault.

The President has veto power over anything Congress sends his way but it's their fault.

Running a small town is not like running a country. Someone should let Palin know. But like some people in small town's and other places you have Gossip and lies. It sounds like Palin is very good at that. McCain has to have a woman to speak for him and a hateful one at that. I have to believe that the american people want a leader that knows how to lead. Obama is my choice, at least he knows how to speak for himself, when standing alone.

I love how Republicans are trying to stretch the two years in which the Dems have been "in control" of Congress (even though they obviously weren't due to filibusters and veto threats) but repeatedly using the words "two FULL years." Where do I sign-up for Republican talking points memos?

To jimmy,

You say the do nothing democratic congress has been a waste for the past two years. I ask you, what progress did the republican led congress achieve in the previous 6 since Bush took office???

jimmy- you may want to brush yor teeth after eating all of that Repug BS. McScam was in the Senate for 26 years, and your point is?.....are you forgetting Phil Grahm's-R role in instigating this mess by slipping in the deregulation which caused this mess?....and your point is?...McScam's only solution for the energy problem is DRILL BABY DRILL as espoused by the Repug idiots at the covention, nothing about alternative sources as prescibed by Obama....and your point is?......

This flight is losing altitude...................TRUST ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BY SEPTEMBER 22, THE BRIGHT LIGHTS WILL BE GONE AND THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IS GONNA WANT ANSWERS, NOT CATCHY LINES.

I am sick of how Republicans have become LIARS. It is repulsive. This is not the party of Reagan any longer! And Jimmy, you are a seriously confused individual!

I've never heard Palin say anything that was intellectual or in depth. She skims on the surface and proclaims she'll fix the economy and Obama won't. HOW?? How will you do this Palin??? I've heard Obama, Biden, AND McCain throw some hard numbers out there, but I have yet to hear anything resembling economic thought from Palin. So far, she hasn't proven to me she knows what she's talking about.

Republican strategy is now crystal clear.

LIE, REPEAT LIE, REPEAT LIE AGAIN....hope no one others to check the facts! Hope people go for the person they can relate to rather than the one you can trust.

Just pathetic and dumb.

Once again Scary Sarah is out telling lies! Wow, what's new, this girl has to be the most truth challenged person in the country now!

Does Sarah think that if she believes something that it is the truth?

Does Sarah think that if she keeps repeating a lie that it becomes the truth?

Does Sarah think that if she repeats a lie often enough somebody might believe it?

Does Sarah think that it's OK to lie?

What is going on with this lady? And to think she could be one heart beat away from being President? Wow – NOW THAT'S SCARY!

mrs palin, when can we see your tax returns?

Why are these two constantly lying about Obama's tax plan? Could it be because it would affect them? Why does she lie about the "Bridge to Nowhere?" Why does she lie about how she sold the private jet? Why can't McCain get anything right about the economy? I have had it with McCain/Palin already. They are so irrelevant. Please stop covering these clowns.

the first dude,, that is funny, the first dude, she can see russia from her house, she,s the funniest thing ever happened in US history, COVERING A LIE WITH A BIGGER LIE MAKES YOU A BIGGER LIAR SARAH....;

mccain will losse

Ladies..

Think. Palin is little more that a

The truth shall set you free.

And this is straight talk, coming from a person who is suing to stop an investigation of her actions? The tainted investigation doesn't fly when the investigation was begun before she was even selected as the VP candidate AND IT'S REPUBLICANS DOING THE INVESTIGATION, NOT DEMOCRATS.

First of all, it's only been a democratic congress for 2 years and when you have a President that stamps every bill supported by the democrats with a veto, how can they get anything pushed through?

Secondly, John McCain voted for NAFTA and Obama did not. So now, he and Palin are against it? Where is their tax plan is Obama's is not so good. The economists think Obama's plan is more realistic than what little McCain has proposed so far. More and more lies. I can't stomach watching either of these individuals on TV anymore. I think I may just shoot my TV.

CNN writes: "Palin's claims aren't exactly accurate: Obama would maintain the Bush tax cuts and offer tax breaks to individuals making under $250,000 a year."

"Exactly"?

what has obama ever accomplished? when has he even fought for his enitre country rather than narrow interest groups, either domestically or abroad? those should be questions....

mccain-palin: reform, experience and results
obama-biden: vague change from a far left vantage point with no discernable results

Jimmy,

The minority partly was little leverage in the Senate....Duh.

Running a small town is not like running country. Someone should let Palin know. But like some people in small town's and other places you have Gossip and lies. It sounds like Palin is very good at that. McCain has to have a woman to speak for him and a hateful one at that. I have to believe that the american people want a leader that knows how to lead. Obama is my choice, at least he knows how to speak for himself, when standing alone.

Sarah, for all your bluster and mouth you should tell the truth and stop telling the lies the Bush/McCain camp keep shoving in your face to read. Go back to Alaska, take care of your troopergate and come back in a few years and run for President.. Otherwise when you and McCain loose this election, the old guys are going to blame it all on you...

What goes up must come down!

I'll give you straight talk...McCain and Palin are liars! They both don't have a clue about the economy and they both should be ashamed of themselves....those 2 phonies!

Heiffer Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!! You and your runningmate "lie" like a Russian Rug.

Obama/Biden 08/12

More trickle down from the right. People making under $250,000 (i.e the ones that need a break) get a much better deal from Obama. Obama's targeted tax cuts + bringing our money and troops out of Iraq will go a long way towards righting this ship.

McCain = More deficit spending and a continued widening gap between the very wealthy and the not so much.

McCain is wrong on taxes, wrong on the economy, and wrong on the war.

Obama 08

McCain wants to borrow money from the Chinese to give tax breaks to the rich. Paying back the principle would only occur after his lifetime.

More lies. I expect nothing but lies everytime her lips move, maybe her and the inventor can shut up soon?

this elatrol map is going to be different from 2004 it doesnt have to go this way voters mccain and palin is going to losse and ohio will turn blue

CNN says "Palin's claims aren't exactly accurate.." The understatement of the day.

There should be some sort of law that sets fines for a candidate misleading the public while running for office. This woman gets on a stage in front of people who are looking for answers, opens her mouth and lies just fall out. All the while she claims to be a Christian.

On the other hand, if she really believe the things she and her running mate keep saying then they are not intelligent enough to run our country.

Uhh, I don't know about them foreclosures, I think if someone has nine houses it means that the housing market is ok, right?

And don't pick on me, because you know, I WAS A P-O-W !!!

The barracuda is a compulsive Liar. For those supporting her for her 'moral values' I think that should be an issue or is it easier to believe these Republican Liars because they look like the majority of American. They are less intelligent, incompetent, unconcerned, disconnected and opposed in the majority of instances to the welfare of the people who support them.
Despite being called out on their lies by the media they continue to perpetuate these lies intent on deceiving the uninformed public. Be wise

Obama/Biden

obviously these fools are guilable enough to fall for the lies these repugs are spewing. Joyce Kish, if your top issue is economy and not abortion why are you voting for the continuation of the same economic plan that has destroyed your state. OH, look beyond the color of the Obama's skin, and stop feeding into the garbage info from Foxnews.

Way to go, jimmy!

Oh, let's blame the Dems for their whopping *2 years* in control of Congress while the President can veto everything because the Dems don't have enough of a majority to override it AND cleverly ignore the fact that the Republican held Congress AND the Presidency for *6 years*.

It ALWAYS takes longer to FIX something than it does to SCREW IT ALL UP.

Way to keep trotting out ZERO POLICY and 100% half-truths!

SHUT UP PALIN, SHUT UP MCCAIN.

Do we want the guy who caused the last housing crisis as part of the Keating Five to be in charge while we have a NEW housing crisis!? HECK NO!

Wrong again McCain/Palin. Where do you get your info from?

Most if not all the reports I have read indicate the Obama/Biden tax plan would be more beneficial to the middle calss working people. Estimates for those making $250,000 per year or less would pay between $1,000 and as much as $2,800 less in taxes than McCain/Palin. Yes ones making more than $250,000 would pay more under Obama/Biden while McCain/Palin would have them pay less taxes. And then there is the $2.9 million plus category which Obama/Biden would make them pay in the neighborhood of $250,000 to $500,000 more taxes where as McCain/Palin would give them pay $250,00 to $500,000 less. WHY?

Reports also indicate that McCains' tax plan would generate some $2.5 Trillion dollar budget deficit where as Obamas’ would be $500 Billion. More debt for our country which is prime for companies to be bought out by foreigners, then what?

Are McCain supporters that gullible or just plain stupid.

WAKE-UP AMERICA. The only chance for change is Obama/Biden. At least a chance!!

Obama's plan proposes to raise the capital gains tax, which would hurt those depending on investments for their retirement income. Not sure that's a great idea - especially in light of the current financial crises we find ourselves in.

Wow, once again Sarah lies, lies, and lies.

The fact is Obama is going to lower taxes on over 95% of the populace.

In contrast, McCain is proposing one of the largest tax increases in recent times. McCain is proposing that employee benefits paid by employers be taxed as income. That is right everyone, McCain is proposing one of the largest income tax increases since GH Bush.

The only thing that might stop this tax is your employer ceasing to offer healthcare benefits. So don't worry, either you pay more in taxes or you lose your healthcare.

McCain/Palin 08

Sarah: Since we are discussing taxes, where are your returns? While you are looking for those returns, tell me why you gutted your states Special Olympics. Let me guess, that was before of April of this year.

Today Biden took questions about the economy and AIG. McCain did the same thing. Where was Obama? Why was he not answering the questions? Does he not know enough about the economy that he has to sent Biden out to answer questions? Sure Obama gave speeches later in the day but he was not the one answering reporter questions.

Newsflash: Bush, Wall Street, etc. did not get us into this financial mess. We did it to ourselves.

what a shame. You still repeat your lies again and again, and it's amazing how you everytime find voters, that are DUMB as a bucket of shrimp to believe your lies… poor, poor country, but not in belonging to the finance-situation but to the education…
And shame on McCain that his running mate is a lot more famous than he is, one has to ask them, who they believe is running for president, McSame or Scara Failin… These two clowns are jokes, simply jokes, that aren't going to reform anything but their own paychecks…
It's a shame this race is still tied, but this is an economic-based week so it's Obama&Dems-Week, and by the way, the attention or Sarah "Mrs. Vengeance" Failin is shrinking…until the result of troopergate. She IS hiding the reality, why else did she deny any kind of cooperation with investigators? SHE is a really DANGER for our country, and if America lets her walk into Oval Office…then we are not just lost but also dumb as a bucket of shrimp…

Palin, just go away. Tired of hearing your whiny voice and your lies. Democrats will win in November. From what I am seeing and hearing, even you think that you are above the law. Why do the Repugs act that way? Hmmmmmmm This Hillary Clinton supporter is not wooed by your empty, whiny speeches that you have to read from a teleprompter or whoever wrote it for you. And, please stop shaking your fist and finger while you are speaking. We are not children who need to be scolded. Why don't you just go home and take care of your family. The Democrats will win back the White House!!!!!!!

Palin needs to go somewhere and SIT DOWN! As a matter of fact, Palin is going down.........FAST! I guess she was good for the Repugs for a moment, but the time has come for Palin to "ease on down the road". YOU'RE OUTTA' HERE!!

I guess Obama could run Fannie Mae. While they were raping the mortgage industry and home buyers, he was number 2 on their contribution list. Why didn't he say something then about their free-wheeling policies. Now he's "gonna get them". What's that about?

Everyone can see paulin is as smart as a Plank

Obama is going to basically do what Bill Clinton did in the 90's when the economy grew. Don't buy into the rich-fat cat lies! We can not afford 8 more years of being manipulated by the likes of Phil Gram!

Well Jimmy, McShame is part of that do little Congress, they are the ones who filibuster, Bush has the veto pen....

WHO IS VOTING FOR THIS WOMAN!?? Come on republicans and women; dont just vote for her because of her gender or loyalty to a broken party! She lies and lies and lies. I haven't heard one thing from Mccain or Palin that even comes close to the truth. Don't let ignorance prevail this time. Don't let the spin work on you. Be wiser then that–we're talking about our faltering country here.

Peter and Jimmy-
Snap out of it. McCain has the same economic policy of Bush. Yes he is the blame because he will keep it up and has had plenty of opportunity to fix it and hasn't and have these ridiculus responses to it. Wake up.

excuse me?, but is this coming from a lady who went to six different college's before they graduated?, is this from the chick who can see russia from her backyard?, and is this coming from a woman who installed a tanning bed in her house after she was elected gov, for depression!!! are you kidding me?, is this who the racist right is betting on to defeating obama?, how sad. america has lost her scruples. america alway's want to be the leader in the world. the shores who many have come to. hope. hope dont live in america if you're anything but a white man. the world all know what america truly is.

Straight talk??

"Palin's claims aren't exactly accurate." –from this article.

Enough said.

Mrs. Palin's current family crisis (pregnant daughter, newborn) is sure to have a psycholgical impact on the Governor and the family.
I am happy she is a devout fundamentalist right wing Christian who has accepted Jesus as her saviour.

I think she needs more time as Governor before being second in command. It will depend if America wants to move on from the Cheney / Rove days.

Hopefully, McCain,72, will retire now.

So how is McCain "LOWERING the tax burden across the board" worse than Obama???? Stop the unbiased reporting please...

Sarah – moderate and sensible San Franciscan's Love you! Keep hammering away at Slick Barry the lawyer and Joey B long time washington insider. So looking forward to the Maverick Change that our Country needs from the likes of the O-Crowd and his cult.

Why in the world should anyone care at all what this KNOW NOTHING thinks about this, or anything else except maybe caribou hunting? What in the world does she know about anything?

She's ridiculous, and so are all of you idiots cheering her on.
We've just had 8 years of a folksy, not too bright, not particularly educated, but very, very confident president. And that didn't work out too well, didn't it? Palin, even more than McCain, looks a lot like Bush.

And no, that's not good.

Now that is funny, people filed out of the venue after Palin was done speaking!!!! I would of left before that....I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but Palin's voice is very irritating and it makes me shrink, cause it reminds me of fingernails going across a blackboard....shivers up my spine......

First of all, that's a lie – but what can we expect from someone who's shown that lying is the best they know how to do.

And secondly, she might want to remember that small town bit is going to wear thin on those of us who live in normal size towns.

Gross.

Every day until the election they will continue to go down in the polls as each of their lies is exposed.

Peace.

oh my,, what a big mouth we have,, umm but we wont talk and answer questions form people ,, umm what a big mouth we have,, ummm

It's kind of sad how Palin is being set up by the Republican Party. She doesn't even know the issues. She's just reading the script they prepare for her, and it's all wrong wrong wrong. It's so wrong and filled with lies.

What? Another lie by Palin? Say it isn't so.

More lies from this neo-con freak that want's to turn our country into a socialist country. This chick thinks its ok to give out hand outs to the already rich while burdening and diving the poor even further in the hole.

Why would this conservative convict endorse socialism for the rich? Because she's not fit to be the CEO of a corporation, let alone be the VP of the biggest economy in the world.

From what I got out of the story that she said she is not going to talk about it in a bipartisan group and that the fact the group had 3 REPB and 2 DEMC members and also that they made their decision to go-ahead with the ingestion long before she had been chosen maybe the fact that palin would be impeached from office might have something to do with it and they are trying to keep it out of the news till after the vote has been made and there is little to do with about

Why is she allowed to continue to lie like this? I hope she is confronted on this in an interview or the debates.

"Palin's claims aren't exactly accurate." Color me stunned. Next thing you're going to tell me is that the sun rises in the east and that the Pope is Catholic.

The republicans won't do anything but tax working families and
keep(steal) it for themselves. Sarah Palin is dishonest and
misleading uneducated voters. Didn't the last 8 years tell us anything?

Democrats 08.

"Palin's claims aren't exactly accurate"

Hey, Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!

Again? But that trick never works.

This time for sure....PRESTO!

You know where this one's going.....

WHAT OBAMA KEEPS HARPING ABOUT IS BLAMING MCCAIN FOR THE ECONOMY.. IT IS THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION WITH THE DEMOCRATIC DO-NOTHING -CONGRESS WHO PUT AMERICA IN THIS MESS. OBAMA HAS BEEN IN THE SENATE 4 YEARS AND HE
HAD NOTHING TO OFFER TO THE PROBLEMS OUR COUNTRY
NOW FACES. FOR TWO FULL YEARS THE DEMOCRATS HAVE HAD THE MAJORITY CONTROL OF CONGRESS AND PEL;OSI AND THE DEMOCRATS HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT. WHAT HAS THE SENATE MAJORITY LEADER H. REID DONE . NONE. THEY OPPOSED OFF SHORE DRILLING WITH PELOSI SAYING IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. NOW AS AMERICANS HAVE VOICED THEIR
APPROVAL FOR OIL DRILLING AND ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF ENERGY . PELOSI AND THE DEMOCRATS FLIP-FLOP AND THEY NOW AGREE WITH THE REPUBLICANS LED BY MCCAIN -PALIN.

Great job, Palin! And Obama is making up facts about his own record, he claimed stimulus package was his idea. Not even Democrats support his claim. Obama doesn't have any record, so he just made up some. How pathetic!

Go McCain/Palin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah...what goes arround come arround...you're down 10 points since las Saterday, that should tell you something...Smart people will see through you and McCain...and their co-horts...

here's a little straight talk... "I'm going to lie to all of you about Obama's tax plan and how bad it is... and then I'm not going to give you any details about ours. And then I expect all of you to cheer mindlessly. And Oh... I can see Russian from my back yard."

Did Palin actually take any questions from reporrters today, or just read the note cards provided by Bush's speechwriters? When is she going to act like a real VP candidate and not a spokesmodel? What a prima donna.

"Palin's claims aren't exactly accurate...."

Nice. That's progress.

How this country could be considering the election of this ticket when it freezes out questions it doesn't like, won't cooperate with an ethics investigation and has levied nothing less than a steady stream of "not exactly accurate" attacks makes my head spin.

Not accurate? No! At least she said, "Thanks, but no thanks, to that bridge to nowhere."

What's the difference between Vice President Dick Cheney and Governor Sarah Palin?

Lipstick.

Sarah Palin, you are such an empty head bimpo that needs to go back to hunting in Alaska and stay far away from Washington D.C. GO AWAY!

Obama tries to tell you he will only raise taxes on people making over 250,000 dollars which is partly true. What he doesn't tell you is they are usually professional people and businesses, and they will just raise their prices and WE will be the ones who pay for their tax hikes.

Palin, like McCain doesn't have a clue about our economy. She left her country in debt many times. She lowered taxes in one sense, but raised them in others and has caused Alaska to go in debt. She, like McCain lies, and lies, and lies and continues to lie to impress the voters. She lied about being open and forthright about the ongoing investigation about the trooper and is now trying to stop the investigation because she doesn't want to be exposed. AMERICA WAKE UP!!!

Palin wouldn't know straight talk if it smacked in the head. I live in Alaska and make no mistake we are well aware of her double speak. If you live in the lower 48 and your charmed by her appearance – don't be. She will not hesitate to skewer you to obtain her own personal gain. She will lie if she needs to and in her own words "will not blink."

Hey Palin...they need you in Alaska to answer questions about TROOPERGATE not on the trail spreading more "inaccuracies" about Obama's tax cuts....

"scores of people walked out when Plain finished talking", poor republicans they don't know who their voting for.

down with mccain and palin

"Palin's claims aren't exactly accurate: Obama would maintain the Bush tax cuts and offer tax breaks to individuals making under $250,000 a year. According to the non-partisan Center for Tax Policy, Obama’s tax plan would offer greater tax relief than McCain for low and middle-income earners"

WHAT ELSE NEED BE SAID...

It scares me so much to know that this woman is a death away from the presidency..... OMG, if we were not in enough trouble already....

Someone write her some new lines?

what a shame. You still repeat your lies again and again, and it's amazing how you everytime find voters, that are DUMB as a bucket of shrimp to believe your lies... poor, poor country, but not in belonging to the finance-situation but to the education...
And shame on McCain that his running mate is a lot more famous than he is, one has to ask them, who they believe is running for president, McSame or Scara Failin... These two clowns are jokes, simply jokes, that aren't going to reform anything but their own paychecks...
It's a shame this race is still tied, but this is an economic-based week so it's Obama&Dems-Week, and by the way, the attention or Sarah "Mrs. Vengeance" Failin is shrinking...until the result of troopergate. She IS hiding the reality, why else did she deny any kind of cooperation with investigators? SHE is a really DANGER for our country, and if America lets her walk into Oval Office...then we are not just lost but also dumb as a bucket of shrimp...

Obama/Biden by landslide!

The Republican strategy: lie, lie and lie some more. Too bad the American people have caught on to your tactic. You are the weakest link... good-bye.

These voters need to realize that they would receive more tax relief under Obama's tax plan than under McCain's. They also don't realize that those in the top earning bracket receive an overwhelming amount of tax relief, as opposed to none from Obama.

Blue collar workers voting for McCain are voting the wrong way. Do some reading and research and look it up for yourself.

I guess they are hoping that the people who hear their lies don't watch or read the news.

Sarah who? Sarah "the democrats are running a witch hunt?". Sarah "Global warming is not man made?" Sarah, "I sold that airplane on e-Bay?" Sarah, "I just told Washington, 'No thanks, we'll just build our own bridge'"?

Oh, now I remember Sarah Pinoccio – that's her name, isn't it? Hey is she related to John McPinoccio?

Two years ago Senator McCain spoke almost word for word of the threats we could face by NOT regulating Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Yesterday his words became reality. W/ the democrats support all regulations for these Mae and Mac were stopped.
I don't disagree w/ all of Sen. Obama's ideas, but his plan to raise taxes on those that can afford to put money back into this country isn't the way to go. His plan is scary. I want some one who is at least going to go after all parties and regulate the spending.
Inflation is part of this ecomony...has been so ever since Roman times. Politicians will never do what is really necessary to fix the chaos of government spending, taxing, making money.
By the way CNN reporting on politics has been disappointing. Very one sided....not news or balanced...hhuummm sounds like an ad I sometimes hear.

Get It Right GOV. PALIN, No More Ebay Moments Please!

According to the non-partisan Center for Tax Policy, Obama’s tax plan would offer greater tax relief than McCain for low and middle-income earners, but McCain would lower the tax burden more across the board.

It is sad . I really wanted a woman in the white house but I wanted somebody who really stands for something. Someone with a mind of her own, Someone who could go toe to toe with old boys and on facts

I am really disappointed.

Sarah is a liar always....

Sure, give money to business and ask them to hire us. I'd love to feel beholden to the company man.

How about giving a break to citizens and letting businesses compete for our patronage?

Here's a little straight talk: Sarah Palin and John McCain would return us to the 1800's, the days of sweat shops, child labor, and wage slavery. That is, if they didn't let our jobs all go overseas.

What does Palin know about tax policy? We've got to get past this insane rationalization that Palin is qualified to be VP. I've heard a lot of people say that she did just fine in the Gibson interview because she didn't get enough time to prepare and most people couldn't answer better anyway. But the only valid comparison is to how the other top VP contenders would do. Think of how Pawlenty or Jindal or Ridge would likely do in that inerview, even without any prep time at all. Or any other random governor. If you honstly evaluate that and agree that her performance was subpar compared to someone eligible for VP, then what does that tell you about McCain? It tells me that he did not put 'country first' when he made that choice.

She right. obaama and the democrats have nevver seen a tax hike they did not like.

God help us if McCain wins.

well for as much as liberals hate the Republicans, they sure don't mind taking the money.

Independent Voter Now for McCain

Sara, i saw a pit bull and a pig today. they both had lipstick on and they looked liked you

Sarah Palin is here to stay in American politics. At 44 years old and already a Mayor, Governor with the highest approval rating in the U.S.–80%, and now a VP candidate, she'll be a powerhouse for years to come. She's a model for our daughters.

Sarah Palin 12 & 16'

PALIN HOW CAN WE BELIVE ANYTHING YOU SAY WHILE LIEING ABOUT THE BRIDGE TO NO WERE ON A REGULAR BASES.

Palin the GOP mouthpiece. Ask her to explain the basis of the McCain tax plan and why Alan Greenspan think it'll sink this country further into debt.

Your approval rating keep plummeting Palin. Pretty soon you'll draw as much (or less) supporters as your Johnny boy.

I love how these people with all these great values continue to lie to the American people. Wake up people, Republicans only care about the rich and themselves.

Mrs. Palin's current family crisis (pregnant daughter, newborn) is sure to have a psycholgical impact on the Governor and the family.
I am happy she is a devout fundamentalist right wing Christian who has accepted Jesus as her saviour.

I think she needs more time as Governor before being second in command. It will depend if America wants to move on from the Cheney / Rove days.

Hopefully, McCain,72, will retire now.

Sarah Liar Palin

Biggest tax breaks to the rich.

GREENSPAN said McCain's tax cuts are a NO GO!

Please be aware that families earning under $250,000 will pay less under an Obama plan, and families earning between $250,000 and $603,000 will pay a tiny amount more, less than $300.00 per year more than they pay now.

Alan Greenspan has said that America can not afford McCain's economic plan.

Stay away from the teleprompters Palin. Or you may have to ad-lib, not!!! Sarah you are a LOSER!!!!!

Wah-wah wah wah-wah...

He's not under investigation by a panel of 8 republicans and 4 Democrats. End of story.

She's a wonderful liar!

Please...Governor.... Let us see your taxes

Let her lie – it's what the McCain campaign does. Instead of the story line being about the issues, there's more people asking "why is John McCain lying so much?"

The bad old days like when Bill Clinton was President? Is that what she means???
