When you tell a lie, you have to remember the lie so as not to contradict it. When you campaign tell lies, you have to remember all the lies.

Good luck GOP, you have a next to impossible task to remember all the lies told you the McCain-Palin campaign.

Anyone who votes republican (unless you're making over $250,000 a year), is a fool. The GOP has shown time and time again that "less government" really means less worries from corporations who rape anyone who is not wealthy. The GOP has advocated "trickle down economics" since the beginning of the 20th century, and it ALWAYS kills the market whenever the GOP is in control and preventing market regulation. Who benefits? The rich cats in the GOP and their corporate allies. Who loses? Everyone else, including those poor deluded evangelical conservatives who believe that because the GOP whispers all the right buzzwords about abortion and school prayer, that the GOP is looking out for their best interests. Look at the billions of dollars taxpayers are having to dish out to corporate bankers so that the CEOs can attend GOP functions in style. A vote for McCain is a vote for your own personal poverty. Think about it.

I'll take capitalism over socialism any time I get the chance. The problem with liberals is they love to whine about what is wrong but offer no practical solutions. What kind of change is Obama offering? I have not heard anything specific. Biden is another washed up Washington lifer. Come on people – get over yourself and vote McCain/Palin!!!

CNN needs to play the WHOLE clip and apologize to the country. Fiorina said none of the candidates could be a CEO. Also if you read the ENTIRE
sex education bill it did say K through 8th grade should be taught sex education. McCain did not lie.
Obama is the one running a sleazy, dishonest campaign and the media is losing what little credibility it had and Obama is in trouble. The American public is not stupid.

Do I have foresight or what? I had blogged 7 days ago that we haven't heard much from Romney on TV. Prior to the Palin pick, Romney was one of the most ardent TV supporters of McCain and against Obama. Carly Fiorina seemed to fill in that role the Romney lost after Aug. 29th. Now that Fiorina has made a major gaffe for the McCain campaign, she has been thrown under the bus and replaced with Romney.

p.s. WRONG TONY! Carly Fiorina had first said that Palin and McCain were not capable of running a corporation when asked about it in St. Louis. Later that day when the mainstream news media got a hold of the Fiorina gaffe, Carly Fiorina then added in the Obama/Biden ticket to try balance her comments. Too Late! Damage done.

CNN-So, so very much in the tank for Obama. Fiorina said NONE of the four candidates could run a corporation. She said that because she, herself was having trouble running HP. So now, Mitt Romney says only the two republicans can. (mearning gee, neither Obama nor Biden are able according to both speakers capable of running a corporation.) When will CNN quit clipping interviews to promote THEIR candidate.? How about some FAIR reporting. CNN what a joke! What does CNN stand for Cocky Neanderthal Nutcases or worse. How about some actual truth once in a GREAT while. Report the facts–I don't want your opionated slants as part of my news. I will pick my candidate. It is not your job to feed me propaganda. Or is your opinion brokered to the highest bidder?

Nice SMACKDOWN of Carly, Mitt!!! Between the two of you... it's hard to know which one of you to believe because you're both such talented liars and blowhards!!

And besides... Mitt is plenty wealthy!!! So even if he let McCain or Palin run his business and it SERIOUSLY TANKS... he can afford to take the hit.

Unfortunately for the rest of us... we don't have that financial cushion of millions of dollars!! We can't afford to have McCain/Palin run our nation FURTHER into the ground than what the irresponsible policies of Bush Administration has already done. As my good blogger friend Nightingale always says: McCain/Palin are too risky!!! TOO RISKY!!

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

Because that 90 % of African American vote, up until February was 61% behind HILLARY CLINTON. It wasn't until the Jesse Jackson quote in South Carolina that blacks shifted. OBAMA was powered to victory in Iowa and would have been New Hampshire if not for the tears, by WHITE AMERICANS.

Now, blacks voted for John Kerry over Bush 43 by a 91 to 9 percent margin.

There was NO uproar then. But because blacks are voting for Obama at the SAME percentages, now, they are voting because he's black.

Seems there is a problem with someone's logic. Blacks tend to vote Democratic, 85-90 percent of the time, regardless of who's running.

Spin this Obama supporters -

Carly Fiorina said that neither McCain, Palin, OBAMA, or BIDEN were qualified to run a major corporation.

Hillary Clinton said that OBAMA in not qualified to run the country.

Joe Biden said that OBAMA in not qualified to run the country.

Guess what ... All 3 agree that OBAMA is not qualified.!!!

GOP is a fraud, but it is a pity that Americans are blind. One thing i know for sure is that if Mclow and the young witch win this election, America should never claim to be the most respected country in the world. Never Again. In fact they will lose every little respect that is left.
The only single problem that i know obama has is that he is BLACK, PERIOD. If he were white, this election would have been concluded long time ago. Mccain has provided the racists an opportunity to hate Obama even more by his choice of an inexperience VP. Anyway, i still believe that OBAMA will win.

In the last year Mitt Romney has changed his position on just about everything he has talked about, campaign in past on and worked for all his life.

If you believe what he is saying now, then there is a bridge in Alaska you should buy and make it a toll road. Romney is like most of those in Whitehouse. he has lied so much lately that he even believest them himself or does not understand the difference.

The guy who is credited for making the case against McCain that he did not know ANYTHING about the economy now says he would hire him, better yet that he could lead a corporation? That goes on to say, that Republicans would do anything to win these elections, even if they have to lie about each others, even if that means...putting COUNTRY LAST.

Why is it when a poll suggests that 90% of the African Americans are voting for the black candidate — that is not racism.
------

Because African Americans always vote at around 90% for Democrats. They voted in those same numbers for Kerry, Gore, and Clinton.

They know that the Democratic Party has their interests at heart, and that the GOP hates them.

I'm willing to concede that racism is not the only reason some people are voting for McCain, but conversely you have to be willing to admit that it is the reason for other people and that it IS an issue.

Funny that Dumbacrats would point out that Fiorina was fired from HP. Obama's lead in finding his vice president was fired from Fannie Mae, and last time I checked HP didn't need government funds to avoid bankruptcy. And they found a great vice president; one who hires lobbyists and makes Obama's attacks on McCain for using lobbyists in his campaign all the more comical. Is there anything about Obama that isn't utterly hypocritical?

How does Romney-Fiorina ticket sound like?

Strong comments or judgment from Fiorina, hardly a successful CEO/Top Executive, in running large Corporation – being the top economic spokesperson does follow the earlier fiasco by yet another expert, Phil Gramm, the economic advisers for the misguided.

Go back to Basics, folks: Ask, What are their intentions and aims, really? Forget the party affiliation nonsense, just be Americans. We have a task TO HIRE the most capable and effective persons to put the country back together, and not get tangled in silly rhetoric. What are the vision, capability to bring people together, elevate mutual respect and instill confidence? This is all about future, even with the tempting conditions that can raise anger and disgust over the abuses by last 8 years and more.
