Gov Palin, send your kids to school. Stop being selfish. Give them basic edtuaction so that their generation will be better than yours and Todd. Stop lying about Obama. Election will be over but your conscience will leave with you for ever. Do not sell your soul to the devil, see why people that speak in tongues need be careful?

Char…WOW…I love the way you put it. Your words are SOOOOOO true!

This will be the stupidest thing I will see on the internet today.

It appears that the republicans are going to resort to scare tactics this time as well.

How sad that McCain is resorting to such shameful tactics. But I guess he feels he has no other choice since he really has so little to offer the American people.

I am disappointed, but feel that the American people will not fall for this slime. Not this time.

The only people who believe Palin's garbage mouth are the people who are voting McCain/Palin, anyway. Go back to Alaska, Palin. Take your kids back with you so they can get back in school, and take that poor baby and get him started with interventions instead of having your kids lug him around the country. You are a poor example of everything that you say that you stand for.

Obama/Biden '08!

What about McCain and Keating 5?????????

The McCain/Palin campaign has been built entirely on distraction and lies instead of substance and integrity. Thank God we can show them how ridiculous they are in 30 days.

I didn't think she could sink much lower than her comment to Joe Biden about a "place in heaven for his wife" but apparently she can.
The MCCain campaign is now at the bottom of the barrel….John McCain included!

I knew this was coming. This is what happens when you can't stand on you position on the real issure. You create a diversion and hope there enough FOOLS out there to follow you.

The scary thing is not what McCain and Palin are resorting to now. It is that people actually believe this garbage they are spewing.

Governor Palin…

"There You Go Again…"

You are No Ronald Reagan, I know you are desperate. This isn't helping much. Aren't you going to be a grandma soon?? Go take care of your daughter!

Put country first and disappear for a while, not hearing your voice is like a song to my years.

Obama-Biden 08/12!!!

And she calls herself a tongue-speaking born-again Christian. Shame on her!

Mary M , Patriot, Monica, Char you folks need to get off yhe COOL AID, open up the windows and let the fresh air in, start a "fiber" diet and get over it, Mrs. Palin will be the next VP of the Great USA…!!! and when that takes place all of you can migrate to CUBA, VENEZUELA, IRAN, N.KOREA or any of the other wonderful countries of the World.

Desperate & Pathetic!!

McCain – once a hero, now an old, nasty, shameful little man!

John McCain says honor is so important to him yet he continues to condone dishonorable behavior from within his own campaign.

It appears all the McCain-Palin ticket has to offer this country is bitterness and lies. Is he that desperate to win? I honestly thought McCain was a good man and have slowly come to realize that he is either putting up a false face or – like Bush – surrounds himself with some bad folks and does nothing to set high standards for them.

How can we believe this man if he becomes our President? We currently have an administration that is known to lie….why would we want another? Does McCain really have that much contempt for his Fellow Americans to think we can be fooled by this crap?

No one hear know if these are lies are not. Let's have the rumors checked out! Same with Trooper Gate. Everyone has their opinions and that is all that they are. NON-factual opinions. Trooper Gate is being investigated and I think we Americans need to know the truth before we put anyone in office.

Although Sen. Obama and the Times have made it perfectly clear that he did not "pal around" with terrorists, McCain and Palin still keep repeating this misleading lie. It insults their own followers' intelligence. Can they just say any ridiculous thing and their followers just accept it as truth? Purposely misleading the public for political gain seems like Me-First-Country-Secound politics. Yet McCain keeps saying that he's gonna bring 'change' to Washington and Wallstreet.
Who believes it? He and Palin are so plastic and stereotypical of the same disinginuousness of the past 8 years. For them to have the audacity to use the term 'change' is disturbing.

In my book theses atrocious comments should be the final nail for anyone on any fence.

Finally we the people will have leaders we can be proud of.

Obama/Biden 08, 12

Uh wait, wasn't it the McCain group who advocated a "clean" campaign with no negativity??? Wasn't it McCain who whined earlier that the Obama campaign was saying "negative" things about him & that he didn't want this to be a negative campaign.

Come on Palin, are you going to take the Karl Rove & Newt Gingrinch route now and go negative and try to just tear down your opponent–maybe because you have nothing good or substative to say about yourself???

If what's going on in wall street is not proof enough to Sarah Palin that this country is far from perfect and ruled by interest groups and greed, then I don't know what is. Being in the same room with and bumping into someone in your neighborhood is not enough to justify the "support of terrorism" accusations she is making. This woman has nothing to say.

final score: Obama 44 Keating 5

Republicans continue attacks that have not worked and won't work. Obama's dream for America is too great for it to continue to fail with their stupidity. We are facing a Recession and all they care to do is destroy an individual that wants to bring positive change to our country and the world.

I am a female first time voter at age 44 years, who has seen my country go down the drain because of the Bush Mistakes that we are all now forced to pay for so dearly. We have had 2 great democratic candidates run for President against him (Al Gore and John Kerry) and have been defeated by republicans using these same attacks. No more! Americans are standing up and shouting loud and clear to the republicans this year.

That's why Obama and Biden are inspiring us to rise above our past mistakes and take the higher ground where we belong. We will win this election to bring back our country, to the place where our forefathers intended. These great leaders fought for it to become the greatest nation in the world.

In this election independents, republicans and democrats will fight to defend our country and be viewed again as the great nation that we are.

I am a proud American who does not wear a flag pin, but carries it in my heart.

Hey, I just heard there's a new, REALLY THIN book soon to be released, It's entitled: "The Depth, Knowledge, and Integrity Of Sarah Palin, And Her Vision For America."

You people have all been drinking Bam Bam's kool aid again. You think he's the Messiah and don't even bother to look at the truth! The fact that he was 8 years old at the time of the bombings is irrelevant! Bill Ayers is not even sorry for the terrorism, and has even said that he wished he had done more! Obama funded Ayer's far left education program that included changing the Pledge of Allegiance for young children! So go ahead and believe that Bam Bam is the next coming of Christ if you like, but you have nothing to say when the country gets taken over with higher taxes and a left wing lunatic agenda like he is proposing. Get a life.

SARAH PALIN is CRAZY!!!!! WEIRD FAMILY ! BEWARE MY FRIENDS SHE IS NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED IT?

no surprise from Palin/Republican party. people are sick of this party and their dirty tactics. Rather than talking about american people and what they are looking for in this election, they are playing dirty politics. SHAME ON YOU SARAH SHAME ON YOU

Yep she's really different alright…

Palin, you need to zip it and throw that trash talk away. I guarantee the McCain-Palin will get this back. Let us not forget Palin that your husband, Todd Palin wants to secede from the United States and on your interview in St. Louis after the chatter stuff you called "debate" you were asked why was your campaign pulling out of Michigan and you said that they needed to send Todd and you (Sarah Palin) to campaign…whats up with that? Oh, by the way you got a situation yourself in Alaska and how much did you hear about John McCain when you were in the second grade? Did you hear about the S&L involving McCain?

Please media, do your job. Is it so important that your side win the election that you would sell your souls?
Put your country ahead of your desire for power and investigate and expose Obama. Nobody wins if Obama and his cabal seize the reins of power.

McCain and Palin are the mavericks that are boasting their uncanny ability to bring both parties together and promote respect and bipartisanship. They are already demonstrating this ability by name calling and making false accusations. This campaign is only the honeymoon. God help America if they are actually elected.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

It's about time the attacks start. Biden didn't hold back! Where exactly is Husseins money from over seas coming from? Anybody bothering to ask? Let's see, if you mix yellow and blue, you get green, not blue, right! Those 150K voters were probably about 95% blue. I am amazed at this country. You wanted change in 2006 so a democratic Congress came to power. Since, gas went from 2.19/gal to over 4.00/gal. Housing fell through the floor, cost of living, lost jobs, etc. Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it. No way Obama. Joe Biden would be a better candidate.

Perhaps if Governor Palin was a more skilled reader she would have understood the whole NYT story instead of just a point or two that she could use in at attack. Apparently the "pit bull" is emerging. Can somebody find her a tube of lipstick?

This shows how desperate the McCain/Palin campaign is for attention. This is fear mongering and swift boating at its worst. This is an absolute disgrace to the American political process. I hope the American people pull their heads out of their butts and have the intelligence to realize that this is not true. Palin just needs to go back to Alaska and stop bothering the rest of us here in the lower 48. As far as Im concerned she can go play with the polar bears and go read all of those magazines she supposedly reads..this is just simply ridiculous!

American is crazy to vote for Obama. His friend show his judgment and his character.

Palin is a power hungry deceitful person-she was "upset" when McCain pulled out of Michigan and is desperate to win the white house. I am voting for Obama but if I were Republican, I would be very upset at McCain's pick for VP. She is the LEAST qualified and there were others so much better: Condi, Powell……

Can't we all pitch in and get Caribou Barbie a bus ticket back to the north country? But then I guess G'pa McBush would get a bit lonely and we don't want that to happen. Anyway, it is sad when we get to this level… Whatever happened to telling us how you are going to fix the problems of our country, telling us what you stand for, etc.

Wow. A new low for the McCain Palin campaign. The aide who came up with this attack should be fired. It's disgraceful to think that a Senator and a Governor would go along with such a baseless and dangerous attack is a disgrace to the offices they hold. Particularly Palin's agreement to spout such garbage shows a lack of character unbefiting the offices she holds and seeks. Is this just an attempt to proves that she reads the New York Times? Clearly if she does read it she cannot comprehend that her statement grossly distorts the Times article. Most likely she is parroting what some speech writer told her to say and once again not showing that she can digest and understand the material enough to know that this is just plain wrong.

AYERS – RESKO — REV. WRIGHT — FR. FLAGER–
Telling his PAKS in SF that the GOod People of this Country Cling to GUNS and RELGION–
WE are the Ones who should be appalled that this man is even in CONSIDERATION for the PRESIDENCY—
His Brother lives in AFrica on $10 a month–
He will speak to our enemies Unconditionally —
His Tax Plan is so radical–HE has no IDEA how he can pay for the more than 1 TRILLION Dollars more he will send—
Under this Guy—WE will be bailing out again soon !!!
Be Careful with your vote–
The Media is not giving you all the info to deal with–

McCain has lost all credibility with me. It is not just that he has proven that he is not a man of "honor", but that he has proven that he is a man who is easily corrupted by power. He is letting us know that he will rob the American people of the "hope" for our future just to win. He owes Obama an apology and he should step down for the sake of the nation. As for Palin, this is just another demonstration of her lack of understanding, and of her status as a "puppet" for McCain. Let's remove McCain before he hurts America any more, and cut her strings completely. Accountability should start now.

The American people are more interested in the economy, the environment, health care and the Iraq war than listening to more of the politics of fear and smear. I've spent a summer in Alaska, there are GREAT people there, please don't hold Sarah Palin against the Alaskan people. She should be ashamed to show her face in public with some of the things coming out of her mouth. Is she really that unintelligent to say some of the things she does, or just that immoral?

Palin is a sick woman.

Obama/Biden

By the logic of the McCain camp, if my neighbor from a decade ago got a DUI 30 years before I met him then that somehow means I support drunk driving.

ridiculous

Is this the best Mccain and Palin can do!! This shows how bad his judgement is. First his VP, economy , bailout announcement and now this crap.

PALIN, WATCH YOUR MOUTH. TERRORIST COMMENTS CAN GET YOU JAILED.

Didn't This Issue Get Raised at Every Step of the Race So Far? I guess Rev. Wright should be making his triumphant return to the airwaves again. It seems like McCain and Co. have finally thrown their hands up and let Sean Hannity run the show.

Palin: Plain needs to watch what she is syaing .. the swiftboat attacks is not going to workk.. because we the people are about issues: substance and we want change…. the only thing she has changed is my mind ………………..No McPalin.

Dear Sarah, can you tell us your real vision for the country? If you don't have any, go back to school to learn about national and international issues that our country is dealing with instead of tearing Obama down. You are empty, lack of exerience, don't distract us, tell us why you must elect you and the 72 yr man.

maybe obamer will crank those dumbo ears up and fly away.

CUE UP REV. WRIGHT!!!!!!!!!DON'T FALL FOR IT AMERICA. NO ONE IN AMERICA CAN SAY THEY 100% AGREE WITH THEIR PASTOR, RABBIR ETC, AND IF THEY DO THEY ARE LYING. WE ARE THINKING HUMAN BEINGS WHO ARE ALLOWED TO DISAGREE WITH ONE ANOTHER BUT STILL HAVE THE CAPACITY TO LOVE. IF BARACK OBAMA AGREED WITH EVERY WORD THAT PEOPLE AROUND HIM SAID I WOULD NOT WANT HIM FOR PRESIDENT. THE ABILITY TO HAVE PEOPLE AROUND YOU WITH DIFFERENT OPINIONS AND STILL DRAW YOU OWN CONCLUSIONS IS CALLED FREE WILL. ALL MEN FALL SHORTS OF GOD'S GLORY, THAT IS WHY WE GET UP IN THE MORNING TO TRY AGAIN. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO WORSHIP THE LEADER OF THE CHURCH THE POINT IS FOR YOU TO FIND YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, NOT REV. WRIGHT. WHEN YOU FOLLOW SOMEONE LOCK AND STEP THAT IS A CULT OR MAYBE IT'S JUST JOHN MCSAME!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

It is sad that so many americans could be brainwashed by Obama's empty words. Last time I saw this happen was when GWB was elected. I did not vote for him and will not vote for Obama. The Obama campaign is a cult and I will not be part of it.

McCain is a true American hero. Shame on him for besmirching his own reputation as a national icon and a great statesman. Not only will he lose with this strategy, but he will never reclaim his former honor in the eyes of many Americans with this disgraceful attack. For a man of his caliber, this act is a disservice to all Americans and to himself.

Senator McCain: you're going to lose this election. This is not the worst thing that can happen to you, so I advise you to do so gracefully. I'm not voting for you, but I still want to be able to respect you when this election is over.

After reading enough to make me sick, you know what is really sad, to listen to you McCain Bush Palin haters just bash away. Its not sad to hear what you write, it is sad to know that we live in the "Divided States of America" regardless of what you all say, it is a close race, so that means the country is divided! Do you really think Obama will ever convince the other half of Americans to join him? Can anyone remember when the president had a true majority, and not just a 50/50 or 60/40 split?

McSain might have voted 90% with Bush and stleast he didnt leave the ballot blank or undecided like your guy.. Lets look at something very carefully. I am not disagreeing with you that we have a problem.
ECONOMY= If you think Obama can fix it in Four years you better look at history

When she and McCain loses this election, they should be mocked and shunned for their behavior in this campaign.

They are disgusting.

"This is not a man who sees America as you and I do…" You are right, Sarah, Obama is a man who sees America as a country of voters who see through your pandering, lies, and winking. He is a man who offers us hope for change from the horrors of this administration…you offer us nothing but more of the same. You give me nightmares!

Looks like McCain just lost the election. I was caught in the middle for quite a while, but this about does it. So much for 'avoiding dirty politics' and being a 'reformer'. Obama just got one more swing state voter.

Palin doesn't even know Obama, let alone who he's pals with. I suggest she try to learn more about the U.S. history, the U. S. economy, and foreign policy instead of trying to hit Obama w/ stuff she has no clue on. Also (her favorite word), she needs to be more concerned w/ her own Federal investigation trial, which she has refused to cooperate w/, only after she agreed to do so before being selected. Finally, she needs to look at her own grandpa, McShame, and his involvement w/ the SNL crisis.

NO WAY, NO HOW, NO JOHN MCSHAME, AND NO SARAH PATHETIC!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08!!!!!!!

just when you think mccain-palin can't get any less AMERICAN, they do, they are DANGEROUS to our country. VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN

What she knows , she did not know one magazine name. She went back and ask her dad, dick chiney to find out what she need to comment now.

In debate which she prepare for two months. She remember three things.

Recover, energy and Maverick.

She blink like a porn call girl.

The NY Times article effectively debunked this, I know because I read it. Apparently, Governor Fembot did not, which I find completely unsurprising. We can just add this to the list of things she (a) doesn't know, and (b) hasn't bothered to learn.

Vote Obama/Biden!

Don't erase my comment.

THIS IS FOR CHAR I LIKE YOUR OUTLINE

Every registered voter should read char's comments. It couldnt be said better. I am a republican and I am tired of the lies that this country has been subjected to under Bush/Cheney. I previously had a great deal of respect for McCain until he chose Palin as his VP. How can he look the American public in the eye and say that she is the best person for the job. More republican lies.

GO OBAMA

Sounds like a Rovian script. Palin can't speak in complete sentences on her own, so it must have been scripted for her. Trash talk from desperate, disgusting people. Have they no shame?

Sara Palin by her own admission meets regularly with communists whenever Putin enters US airspace. She is a communist sympathizser and refuses to report any of her clandestine meetings.

PALIN: Well, it certainly does because our– our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They're in the state that I am the executive of. And there in Russia–

PALIN: We have trade missions back and forth. We– we do– it's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is– from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to– to our state.

She is working to end the american way of life and is working towards harboring and providing safe haven to true believers.

In June, Palin addressed graduates of a youth ministry program at that church, telling them, “It was so cool growin’ up in this church and gettin’ saved here.”

CNN’s Jessica Yellin looked into the church’s beliefs and reports that it practices speaking in tongues and also “teaches that Alaska will be a shelter at the end of the world.”

A video produced by the church proclaims with apocalyptic imagery that “God has a destiny for the state of Alaska!” and in another clip someone from the church affirms, “I believe that Alaska’s one of the refuge states.”

Yellin acknowledged that “whether Palin shares these beliefs is unclear” but noted that “during her June visit, she described the Iraq War and a natural gas pipeline she is trying to build as part of God’s plan.”

How is the ticket that is running from an ethics investigation, talking about morality and behaviors.
Cowards!
Rabid hypocrites!
McCain/Palin: So What if Obama Was Eight in the 60's!
I hope her church has a "Pray Away the Stupid Soon" in honor of the First Pit Bull.
And oh yes, Joe Six Pack cannot wait until the pit bull is dog-gone!

Aawww … Say it ain't so Caribou Barbie, I betcha you and McInsane have nothing positive to offer the American People. .. Wink wink. The dog must have eaten your homework on the economy, healthcare, foreign policy, etc… Doggon' it.

Don't worry your 15 minutes of fame will be over in like 30 days. Darn right it will … wink wink!

I am a maverick and I will not vote the way you want me too!

Obama-Biden '08 & '12

Klondike Barbie is baring her claws.

She can't get enough of her shrill voice, don'tcha know. "Gee golly, campaignin sure is fun. When's the talent portion of the show? Can't wait to display my superior seal clubbing form!"

Go back to Wasilla, you're too stupid to even comprehend that you're a pawn. God, this lame joke makes one long for the naive incoherence of Quayle. In the end, though, the joke will still be on us. After this ticket crashes and burns, Schmidt and Davis will throw McCain (justifiably so, however) under the bus in order to preserve their "fair haired" girl. They have "bigger" plans in store for her in the future. We haven't heard the last of this pig on a lipstick yet.

CHAR…..(Below)
I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight…..

* If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic, different.'
* Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, yours is a quintessential American story……..WELL SAID.

McSame has decided to play to SEAN HANNITY play book. (It's only here in America) can that stupid , NO-COLLEGE DEGREE SEAN HANNITY can be the voice of " REPUG " COLLEGE GRADUATES. God bless America.

Too little too late hockey mom. You've got real crisis to take care of, so lay off the contrived attacks.

OK, so let’s take the gloves off.

John McCain is a traitor. He is a traitor to the American people and he is a traitor to the honor of all men and women who serve in our military. John McCain has been a traitor since the day he wrote these words:

“I am a black criminal and I have performed the deeds of an air pirate. I almost died and the Vietnamese people saved my life, thanks to the doctors.”

Those are the facts. Not ALL of the facts, of course, but they are the indisputable the facts I choose to use to show you that McCain is a traitor to the American people and our way of life.

This doesn’t feel right, does it? So why do we let Gov Palin get away with saying things like “Obama pals around with terrorists”? I hope this election will prove once and for all that attack politics is the act of desperation that dooms a political campaign.

Palin – Americans aren't going to play your Bush/Rove fear games this time !
You're growing Desperate and lashing out in desperation !
Dang Gummit' Palin – you're about to LOSE !

————————————————————————-
Why would America REWARD complete Republican failure ?

We wont.

Does Palin know she just makes herself look even more stupid by going off the deep end with stupid accusations? Keep digging Palin, little do you know you are digging the grave of the McCain/Palin ticket!

This is what Steve Schmidt said about the NY Times on Sept. 22nd, "Whatever The New York Times once was, it is today not by any standard a journalistic organization."

So Palin disagrees with the campaign's chief stategist? Or perhaps they didn't fill her in on this one just like they didn't tell her about the campaign pulling out of Michigan?

Not this time! Not this year. We know they are desperate. The attacks will come, but this time, we will not be fooled.

Ditto! All please vote to keep our country safe from Palin!!!!!!

Fear much?

She tried it at the Biden debate (fear this, fear that) and Biden was twice as successful in winning new voters and undecideds. Go ahead and play your fear games, lady. You and McLoser are just digging your own political graves.

There they go again… Swiftboating!!

Do Republicans have anything to offer to this nation besides personal attacks? What's next Obama's not like one of us because he's a "half-breed Muslim" like the senior citizen in FL put up in his front yard.

I'm so glad the McCain campaign is not playing dirty politics. McCain said he would run a clean campaign and not stoop to low tricks. ….oh, that was before he picked Palin as a running mate.
Please please America: please vote for Obama- we need someone in office that is intelligent, thoughtful, listens and speaks well, respected globally, and acts only after learning all the facts first.
Palin's speeches show she lacks a grasp of the issues, and she resorts to dirty politics because she can't speak constructively on the issues.

We already know that Governor Palin!!! But we already made up our minds. Sorry!
Obama was 8 Years and have no personally relationship with Ayers even today…… it's all professional relationship, if any.

JUST WHAT OUR COUNTRY NEEDS IS THIS KIND OF DIVISIVE UNAMERICAN COMMENTS COMING FROM PURE IGNORANCE. PALIN NOT ONLY HAS ATTACKED OBAMA BUT HAS ATTACKED MANY AMERICANS WHO SUPPORT OBAMA. PALIN NOR MCCAIN IS FIT FOR LEADERSHIP OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY.

1. Obama barely knows the guy, and they are certainly not "pals."

2. Obama was a little eight year old kid when Ayers was doing his thing.

3. If Ayers is such a terrorist, then why doesn't Bush lock him up? Huh? If anyone off the street could ostensibly call Ayers up and go to McDonald's for a milkshake with the guy, then Homeland Security obviously doesn't consider him a terrorist.

4. Sarah Palin is a radical fundamentalist idiot of the same ilk as the radicals in other countries who stoke hatred to keep themselves in power (you know, the people we call terrorists). God save us all if these nutjobs win the election.

try 2:

The McCain campaign should be ashamed of themselves. This after he promised a dignified campaign void of such personal attacks.

This is another reason people should not vote for McCain. He has no morals anymore. He'll sink to any level to win. We don't want any leader with such low moral standards.

Shame on Sara Palin!!.. Shame on McCain. Shame on the people who vote for them !!

Desperate times call for desperate measures. It is obvious that John McCain is extremely desperate at this point in his campaign. To see him sink to this level of desperation saddens me. I used to have a great deal of respect for him, but his lack of integrity in this presidential campaign has tremendously eroded that respect. Regarding Sarah Palin, I still cannot believe that McCain chose her to be his running mate. She is uninformed, undereducated, and ill-prepared. Her credibility factor is almost nonexistent, and she simply cannot be taken seriously. She is not even close to being in the same league as Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Her nonsensical comments only strengthen Obama's chances for becoming our next president. Go Obama and Biden!!!!

The MCain/Palin ticket is now, as announced earlier today, engaging in desperate tactics. The citizens of our country should not tolerate such tactics. Hopefully this campaign tactic will rally the troops even more against this dishonorable and pathetic ticket. Go Obama and Biden.

Like I said — if you're NOT pro-Obama, you just don't get posted. And if you do — any previous post is IMMEDIATELY removed.

CNN -Nazi party!

Out of all these comments only 1 moron. Now THAT'S encouraging! We knew it was coming, just surprised it took so long. The Republican party is pathetic. It's not going to work this time though, sleaze bags. Fool us once, your fault. Won't get fooled again. OBAMA/BIDEN '08!!!

Finaly we start to hear on news what we knew about Obama. Why took so long?

Honestly….all you pro McCain/Palin people… how can you take this ticket seriously. Do you live in the lies that Obama is a Muslim or just because he's black. In a time when so much is at stake, you want to listen to a woman who thinks an 8 year old …. If you look at her own religious affiliations, her own actions and beliefs…. we'd all rather you just stayed home and let the people who at least understand what's at stake here do the voting.

All I can say is "THANK YOU" Char, you hit the nail on the head.

Palin and McCain are pathetic. This pathetic attempt of taking Obama down is childish and is not helping my America economy problems! It don't help me at the gas pump! no substance! McCain has switched his stance on nearly every position for the betterment of his campaign. Palin is not like me and I don't find her smart….she is just someone that can remember to read one liners.

McCain and Palin are pitful, they are going to lose this race. We the american people know you are telling lies, because you can not win this race. So they come out with information that was already fact checked. What a dummy (Palin). She needs to re-educate herself. I have no respect for her, I thought she had it going on but she is really stupid. Go back to college and get a real degree.

Obama isn't responsible for what others say. If people are responsible for other people behavior then McCain is responsible for the actions that Bush. Obama is good for the country and the reason why people refuse to see it is because he is BLACK that is the reason. People are afraid that a black man can build back this country better than any white man. Palin lacks the experience, but I guess no one says that because she is white instead they say she is one of them. And you call Obama Racist.

Amen Char

char –

Right on!!! The hypocrisy of the McCain-Palin ticket knows no limit. McCain-Palin putting country first, what a croc . . . they'll say/do anything to get elected!!!

I guess as long as we can keep calling everything the Republicans say "racism" we might be able to scare them into silence.

Sarah Palin has proven beyond a shadow of any doubt she is not only unfit to represent our great country in any capacity, but she will say or do anything to drag the republican party further in the mud. Ever since the VP debate where she received a false sense of confidence she has been spouting off ridiculous statements. Sarah Palin should simply stop talking because she is speaking complete nonsense. I'm beginning to believe that she was selected as McCain's running mate not to earn the support from female voters but those who are uneducated or slow. Most people with any common sense can see she is worthless and couldn't put more than one coherant sentence together without the McCain campaign telling her what to say. God forbid if Mccain is elected president and dies before the end of his first term. She can't wink or flirt her way out of alienating the United States from the rest of the world.

McShameless and Screech are desperate. Look for more smear and slander, even as Screech tries to evade her own ethical problems in Alaska.

Very tacky remarks but expected of the McCane folk!! Palin is just falling in line with their attacks as she was trained to do…she probably didn't even know about Ayers until she was prepped on what to say…

Ignorance at its best…………….

Eat her alive Tina Fey!!!

I think Palin is a terrorist because her state is right next to Russia. I think her and Putin "rear" their little heads from time to time to plot the takeover of Canada. The "Bridge to Nowhere" was actually going to be a bridge to Russia.
Watch out, America. You also know that Russia is allies with Cuba, so that means she is a friend to Fidel Castro, too, and supports his regime.
I wouldn't be surprised if Bin Laden was hiding in the mountains of Alaska with a six pack and a hockey stick and the "first dude" as his poker partner.

This is a REAL MORON!!!! But what really scares me is that there are people in this country that agree with her. I can see some of these folks sitting around the kitchen table tonight going, "I know he was a terrorist with the name Hussein!"
I cannot believe the crap that comes out of her mouth! This is ridiculous. Next she say Obama was abducted by aliens from outer space and he wants to take over the world.

AMERICA . . . DO NOT LET THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN OFFICE AGAIN!!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

THE LOGICAL CHOICE . . . THE ONLY CHOICE!!!!!!!!!

And Palin pals around with anti-Semites (her preachers) and the ultimate terrorists, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Come on, why do you even report such stuff?

She is trash. Send her back to Alaska. What a bubblehead and McClain along with her. Do they think playing dirty is going to get them in the White House??? What losers!

Ms. Palin is a christain "right"? .then why is she telling false hood against another human being . She needs to practice what she preaches.

Hey "Scare-ah" –

Why don't you demonstrate some of that bi-partisanship you were promising in the debate and cooperate with the Alaska legislature regarding Trooper Gate? If you are truly innocent, you have nothing to hide.

Do you know what I can't believe? There will be some complete dumb butts out there will think this out and out lie is the gospel just be cause the idiot palin espoused this trash. This has to be the most underhanded decitfull gutter tacticts I have ever seen This absolutly makes me livid This just turns my stomach There are some things I would like to put here but I know they would not be posted.

hit him hard Lady…!!! he is an impostor

HERE WE GO PALIN IS ATTACKING AGAIN BOY THIS IS REALLY GETTING TO BE A BIT MUCH. THE MORE YOU ATTACK THE MORE IS IN OBAMA FAVOR

I send comments but they are seldom posted.

I would like to see OTHER candidates written up in poltics at CNN. I am so dang tired of Sarah Palin I could puke.

She is unintelligent, uneducated, uninspiring, unimportant.

Someone needs to tell Silly Sarah that she is NOT running for president.

McCain's legacy is going to be Sarah Palin, not much more.

It's official: The McCain/Palin campaign is done. Palin's comments are not the cause — the final straw has been the Wall Street crisis — but they are clear evidence that this election is all but over. As a loyal Republican, I'll still be voting for McCain, but I can see now that my vote will be in vain.

I find it interesting that when the NY times reports a negative story about the McCain campaign (rick davis' $15,000 a month payments from fannie mae), the McCain campaign says that the NY Times is no longer a legitimate news organization and is in the tank for Obama. However, when they report something about Obama (which isn't even negative if you read the article) the McCain campaign quotes it as proof that Obama supports terrorists. Which is it.. legitimate news or the "liberal media"

Ok let's reveal who wants to be America's next Second (or even first) dude – Todd Palin". Go to Wikipedia and you'll read this "Palin first registered to vote in 1989. From 1995 to 2002 he was registered to vote as a member of the Alaskan Independence Party.[11] In late August 2008, The Politico reported that Palin was registered to vote as an independent ("undeclared"), and had never registered as a Republican.[12] In early September 2008, a spokesman for John McCain said Palin was now a registered Republican. AIP wants Alaska to seceed from the USA!!!

Also he decided not to go to college cos he needed all those years planning how to elope with Sarah Palin after graduating from Wasilla High. So our NEXT first dude holds only a high school diploma!!!

Palin is just desperate with this last outburst. It is typically of someone who can not answer a direct question from a debate moderator. She spins her own spin instead of some solid fact.

I hope the American folks are smarter then her.

Palin says she can see Russia from her home. I have a strong feeling that she has ties with KBG.
That is how ridiculouse her loose comments about Obama are.
Grow Up, Grow Up, Grow Up…

Disgusting that Palin and McCain has stooped this low. I hope they realize people want real CHANGE The religious right, at work again.

Such a stupid third grader comment. She need to be arrested for this.

Obama need to sue her for that comment. Mcsame dickchnney and bush policies . are we not sick of this?

Just another example of Sarah Palin saluting and being the attack dog. The same type of fear tactics used by the Bush administration. Given the poll results for McCain, you can count on his campaign and his party to become even more negative. Just sound bites and no plans. So much for the straight talk express.

EAT HER ALIVE TINA FEY!!!!!!!!!!!

Live From New York It's SNL!!!!

Never thought I would say this, but McCain is a scum bag.

What next? This is getting ridiculous. This election is supposed to be about issues…not rablle-rousing. We are in such a sad state that this is what the political process has come to. And I dare ask what does Mrs. Palin mean when she says Obama does not hink like "you and I?" I am an independent voter and was possibly leaning toward McCain until he selected that woman from Alaska. I am also neither a big fan of Obama. I may as well do a write in vote on November 4th…I wish we could elect Hillary Clinton!!

McCain Supporters will be voting for McCain-Palin, no matter how many times the crazy lefty loonies think that a terrorists friend should be in power! Over our military! Making America weak! Ashamed of being American! Yikes lefties think about what you are saying……..re read your posts, please you all sound like cult members ignoring the truth! What are you really angry about…..

Obama/Oprah is NOT the people you want in the white house. I dont know what more to say to convince the American people that, you are staring down at the collapse of the Inited States of America as we know it, and i strongly suggest you be vigilate of the media. The Media wants into the white house to get thier news. McCain will not allow that… he'll show you the left and then give you a right hook straight to the jaw… the media doesnt like that, it makes them look bad, thats why as a Canadian, im very concerned who gets the white house. If the media wants a good story… investigate this one… 'Why are so many Wealthy Americans moving to Canada, peticulary the west?

Big talk from a woman whose husband is a member of a political party that advocates treason.

no weapon formed against Obama/Biden shall prosper

Mrs. Palin, your husband is a former member of the radical group Alaska Independence Party which advocates secession of Alaska from US. If you want to point fingers of Obama's obviously professional affiliations, if any, you are married to a man that doesn't want to be an American, but Alaskan. McCain was wrong once more and realizing picking you was selfish political stunt gone bad.

Mrs. Palin, if you truly love the US as you claim you do, drop out of the race. Don't do this to us. But you won't, you are not that patriotic. Surrendering because one realizes the mistake is not only patriotic but admirable. Obama is trying to do that for us in Iraq.

She's 100% correct. And Obama has consistently lied about the relationship. That never mattered to a lemming anyway.

Looks like the Straight Talk Express is now going off the rails as the Crazy Train.

The Republican campaign, falling behind Obama in polls, plans to make attacks on Obama's character. We have seen this before for the Republicans< when you have no plan to lead this country,all you can do is go on the attact..John McCain has shown his lack of leadership this last 2 weeks. And this AIRHEAR Sara Palin possibly being a heartbeat for the President of US Teriffies me to death..Please America vote for Obama/Biden,for real Change and real Hope for this country…

What is Sarah LIPSTICK- Six pack trying to say? She better pay attention to her family problems, they are about to overwhelm her. Racism, injustice, and much is a form of terrorism, her underworld cult is an extremeist organisation that has the tendency to be a terrorist organisation. Thats how it starts. Sarah is an EXTREMIST. Real empty bucket. Somebody tell this moose eating, wolf killing, REDNECK to go back to her VILLAGE, and focus on her children. There one guilty of fonication, and one who may not come back from war, he is not better than other brothers and sisters who lost their lives in defence of AMERICA, He stands a strong chance of not coming back. I challenge Sarah Palin, if she is a true christian, let her pray to derail this prediction. SHE HAS MATTERS OF THE HEART. REDNECK IN LIPSTICK. GOTCHA!!!!!!!!!!
Silent voice

I AM WONDERING MORE AND MORE EVERY DAY HOW JOHN MCCAIN CAN STAND TO LOOK AT HIMSELF IN THE MIRROR!!!!!!!!!

May Palin's words go to her family !

Obama backers on this ticker and elsewhere have made it clear that they do not like women or senior citizens. Calling Sarah a pig and John a senile old man who should change his diapers. This talk alienates and offends a HUGE number of voters. Remember, the older a citizen is the more likely they are to vote.

On Nov. 4th by the time the Obama backers get up out of bed and smoke their first joint the polling places will already be closed.

The biggest terrorist organization is the Rupublican Party Period. They've successfully tore this country into two. The Bush Doctrine is at work right now in the U.S. — You're either with us or against us. They've played on fear for much too long. I'm sick and tired of republican terrorists misguiding, making up lies and excuses to get what they want.

Bill, you're a republican bigot of extreme proportions. Who cares what his name is. Emphazing his middle name, one he didn't choose promotes your parties politics of fear. You and people like you are the worst in america.

Wow! McShame and Cant get right Palin are a bunch of sad people. Time to bring the bones out the closets about Palin. I doubt this rove smear crap will work again.

Obama/Biden

Wow…These guys are getting desparate. Being that she can't talk intelligently about the issues, doesn't really know McCain enough to talk about his record,and is only an expert at moose hunting, she really doesn't have much else to say. Not to mention anybody who would waste their morning going out to hear her talk is as big a moron as she is. So they wouldn't understand an intelligent speech anyway.

SCARY!!!!!
I do not want her in charge of my education, religion is important to some people, but that's craziness right there!!!!

The McCain camp slinging hateful fear-mongering lies because they have nothing left to stand on??… Yawn.
Johnny is quite the paradox; both erratic and completely predictable.

Arghh, really having trouble getting stuff posted.

Once again, we see sleaze and misrepresentation coming from McCain and Palin. See the NYT debunking of this relationship. I guess the GOP is trying the old tactic of trying to throw as much mud as possible at their opponent in the hopes that something will stick.

And one more thing,
McCain was accused of taking bribes in the Keating 5 case, but charges were dropped.

Ayers was accused of the bombings but charges were dropped. Yet the McCain/Palin campaign act as though he was proven guilty.

So by their logic, either both McCain and Ayers are guilty, or neither are.

Do they really want to go there?

now that the champagne and caviar is restored to the wall street elite, next up may well be a bush/mcain terroist alert with full drama of 'imminent threat' …palin is warming up the audience with her lies.

If this is the "honorable" campaign that McCain promised, I shudder to imagine what his "not so honorable" campaign would look like.

And she knows this how? Because she keeps watch on terrorists from her house?

So Obama supporters condone bombing government buildings. Good to know, tell me is murder ok, how about rape and torture. What is wrong with you people. Tell me, what isn't true about this statement, the man bombed buildings, he is a terrorist!

MCCAIN AND PALIN DISGUST ME AND ARE PATHETIC WEASELS AND WILL DO AND SAY ANTHING TO WIN THE WHITEHOUSE….
YOU KNOW WHAT BOTH OF THEM CAN GO AND DO!!

McCain changed the call sign of his bus from "straight talk express" to "gutter express".

What about Phalin's radical terrorist supporter husband?
Wasn't he in a group that wanted to secede from the United States?

Say it isn't so Sarah……there you go again, going backwards!!!

Good grief, you are the pits!!

obama/biden 08

Oh don't forget the being blessed by a Kenyan Witch Doctor, believing in the end of the world and the lobbyist connections. OH WAIT….THAT'S SARAH PALIN!

Klondike Barbie is baring her manicured claws. She must love to hear her own shrill voice: it's like fingernails filing on a chalkboard.

"Golly gee, campaignin sure is fun, don'tya know! Man, when will the talent portion of the show start? I just can't wait to display my superior seal clubbing form!"

Too bad she doesn't realize that she is a pawn with an extra x chromosome being manipulated by McCain. In the end, though, we, the public, will bear the short end of the stick. When this ticket crashes and burns (woohoo!!), Schmidt and Davis will move to throw McCain under the bus (justifiably so, however) in order to preserve their "fair haired" girl. We haven't seen the last of the pig on a lipstick. The neocons have found their new image.

Klondike Barbie won't spoil my inauguration celebration, though. GOBAMA!

It is shameful and is not winnin me over that's for sure. This is basically saying, e've run out of ideas and are willing to go as low as the worst forums on the internet. Using fear tactics and lies. So far that is the only thing McCain/Palin have conviced me f. They lie and they try to make people afraid. Same as Bush and Chaney.

The kitchen sinks are now coming. It's desperation time for Team McCain!

After her big night of reading cue cards, it looks like Palin and her clueless and unstable running mate are getting desperate and heading for the gutter, or should I say, circling the drain.These people have nothing useful to say – their mode is to simply attack and then wrap themselves in the American flag with their usual words of "surge", "surrender". For all his talk about being a maverick, McCain is very much like Bush – they both seem to have an IQ of about 90.

i wouldnt wanna see Palin with power , but its ur desicion

This is as low as it gets! McCain and Palin have shown themselves to be beyond contemptible with comments like this. County First – no way! You two put your campaign before anything, and you just proved it. Hey Palin, you want to put your country first, resign!

So now as they approach the end of their campaign, McCain and Palin still have nothing left to tell us but lies!!!

Enough with Ayers already. Palin criticized Biden during the debates for looking back instead of looking forward (remember her "say it isn't so Joe" remarks), yet that's what she's doing here. I think that terror comes in many forms and the thought of McCain-Palin running the country terrorizes me. Who thought there could be anyone worse than Bush-Cheney?

One more thing.

McCain was accused of taking bribes in the Keating 5 case, but charges were dropped.

Ayers was accused of the bombings but charges were dropped. Yet the McCain/Palin campaign act as though he was proven guilty.

So by their logic, either both McCain and Ayers are guilty, or neither are.

Do they really want to go there?

They are racist idiots. End of story. Sarah Palin is such a joke, and McCain is old as dirt. Keep the trailer trash out of the White House.

Palin is a national disgrace! I am so sick of her folksy idiotic slang and her complete ignorance on major issues I am ready to donate the max to the Obama camp!

Stupid. Vicious. Contemptible. Is there no insult that this dim-wit and her keepers will not perpetrate?

That anyone in this country fails to see through her vindictive, hateful, petty, small-minded golly-shucks veneer is disheartening and terrifying.

If Bush had the rest of the world scratching their heads, Palin would have them rolling in the aisles.

the only thing we need to fear in this election is mccain -palin.

Seems to me what we're looking at here with the Republican candidates running for office is precisely what we'll end up with if in fact they are elected into office – 4 more years of an adminstration blaming the Democrats for a failed economic policy and a failed foreign policy. Personally I'm ready to have someone in the white house who is more intelligent than the average Joe six-pack – someone who is capable of understanding the problems this country faces and is capable of not only recognizing, but also backing the people who are capable of fixing them. I don't think either John McCain nor Sarah Palin fit into that catagory. I'm afraid I'm going to have to go with the Obama/Biden ticket this time around.

try 2:
The McCain campaign should be ashamed of themselves. This after he promised a dignified campaign void of such personal attacks.

This is another reason people should not vote for McCain. He has no morals anymore. He'll sink to any level to win. We don't want any leader with such low moral standards.

Shame on Sara Palin!!.. Shame on McCain. Shame on the people who vote for them !!

Palin is a fundamentalist, an extremist, manipulative, petty, and downright mean! She doesn' have facts or has any experience. She doesn't believe in American values and wants to remove certain books from libraries (respect our Constitution) and charges women who are raped for their examination kits (awful human being)! Stop the lies!

We have real issues and real problems oversees and on American soil. Stop distracting the American people and building wedges between the citizens.

Obama was 8 years old child when Ayers and the Weatherman group were active. Obama and Ayers were members of an anti-poverty board between 1999 and 2002 and Ayers contributed $200 to Obama's re-election fund. THAT IS THEIR ONLY CONNECTION.

But I am not surprised she is confused as she tends to be when she can't process facts or the truth! Why doesn't she ask McCain why he supported deregulation and continued to support the greed by supporting the tax cuts for the rich – these failed policies that have put America two steps away from financial bankruptcy. Oh and where is the maverick now – the bail out was supposed to be $700 billion and suddenly it's $840 billion due to the GOP's pork that they added on.

Since the gloves are off, think Manchurain Candidate

Nice try Palin. People want to hear how you are going to make change. No one wants to hear attacks on the other candidate! Go back to Alaska!

This is vice presidential? This is Christian? This is American civility?

McPalin isn't doing their campaign any good. Both of them look like idiots.

picture this, push the handle , the water swirls and the crap goes down the drain, that is obama when all the truths about him come out. oh happy day!!

OK, after sitting on the fence… then reading this article, I am sending a contribution the the Obama-Biden campaign tonight.

Isn't it just like the "good Christian" to use fear tactics, lies and bear FALSE WITNESS

Palin=
Incompetent politician
Irresponsible mother
Cheney in a beehive

I am sooo tired of these negative attacks by the McCain campaign. They spoon-feed Palin these ridiculous accusations to make because there is NO WAY she would come up with them on her own!!! She is like the Republican parrot, saying whatever they please. It is only a month left in this election, can both sides stick to the facts and explain what they would do in office.

Palin has some nerve trying to attack the character of Obama, when she and her family refuse to cooperate with officials for the Troopergate!

CHAR

THAT COMMENTS WAS BRILLIANT THAT'S STRAIGHT TALK FOR YOU

POST THIS CNN I DARE YOU

@ Char. I could not have said it better.

This kind of stuff backfired on HRC. It will back fire on Palin if americans aren't too stupid.

I guess it proves McCain will do anything to get elected, including selecting someone who has no business being a VP candidate.

Shame on Sarah Palin she is practicing bad politics because they
are losing their campaign fight. They are so very desperate to win
that they will say just about anything. This is nothing but complete
nonsense and the American people are not that dumb! To believe
garbage like that.

Are you Republicans proud of yourself now? So righteous, so christian, so scared you have become liars to God himself.

Since Obama rising in the polls, here's goes Mccain camp getting real negitive in last 30 days of this presidential race. Hillary warned of this tatic. I would advise the Obama fight fire with fire. Obama should attack Palin on troppergate and Mccain on Keating 5. It's great to be above it to that kind type of tactics, but now it's for Obama to attack back and put the Mccain camp on defense in regards to troopergate and Keating 5. I know this is not Obama style,but for the of sake of America he has to do this. There's lot ignorant and not informed people in American that belive in these sleazy false statements Mccain/Palin has nothing to offer American people and the polls are showing it, thats why they are resorting to these sleazy tatics. Obama slam these clowns to ground and so won't hear from them again!!

after the gop accuse obama with bill ayers and then they will say that he is black, and he is not one of us. then, the racism will take place. i want to see if america is that stupid

Char,

NOW TRAT'S STRAIGHT TALK FOR YOU I LOVE IT

Disgusting how the McCain campaign is being run. For me this barrage of negative comments only supports the view that McCain is an angry, irrational, erratic candidate, or as he likes to descriibe it "Maverick." Hog wash! McCain/Palin, it's a slippery slope you're on, stop pissing in the wind an making it this way.

For a person who holds a degree in journalism and who cannot name even a magazine she reads and then later on blame the journalist who did the interview one can imagine how much of truth is there to what she says.This isj ust a ploy to shift atttention from matters that matter to ordinary Americans.

Truely shameless

Sarah, you married a dude that wants to secede from America, you even charleaded one of their occasions. You're not just the spouse of a terrorist, Sarah, You're a Terrorist.

The first thing I want to say is that debates are exciting, informative and intentionally so. In my view, Mrs. Palin uses debating in a way it ought not to be used. For example, she sounds more like a preacher with language (new energy, revelation, maverick, change is coming and a whole lot more). This is not how she should campaign. We are not electing a Pastor for Vice President to tell us about the apocalypse.

It didn't surprise me to learn that the Governor's background is from a new age Church in which she belongs. I don't think this will go over well with middle America.

Hopefully, McCain,72, will retire now.

Ok that just sealed the deal for me. I will NOT be voting for McCain/Pailin.

This type of fear campaigning is intolerable. It shows they are scared and desperate. If you really want to link someone to a terrorist, really the biggest terrorist of all is George Bush I think.

I was undecided but I think I will vote for Obama now.

I am sick of hearing hearing about Barack Obama from Sarah Palin and John McCain. When would they talk about what would they do for an average american?

All they are doing is dividing the country by negative attacks. They should be engaged in civilized discussions on what is good for the country. It is said, "Liberals listen thinking they would learn something" and "Conservatives talk thinking they would win the argument".

THere is nothing to win when there is no civilized dialog. Dogs can bark all day, it would never bring food to the table.

What about McCain's friendship with G.Gordon Liddy. Liddy is the man who broke into the Watergate hotel to plant wire taps to spy on the DNC. The guy who was convicted of conspiracy, burglary, wiretapping. And was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for crimes that subverted the US government and led to the impeachment of Nixon. Liddy has had fund raisers for McCain at his home. McCain has called Liddy "A dear old friend" and "Some one I admire greatly" McCain even said "G.Gordon Liddy personifies what makes America great" In 07 McCain went on Liddys talk radio show and had great praise for Liddy, a bonafied enemy of the state and government subversive. Liddy also has contributed over 5000 dollars to McCains campaigns including 1000 dollars for this years election. Liddy is also a special to Fox news. This seems to me to be a much more disturbing relationship than Obama raising money for poor people and schools while crossing paths with Ayers.

Looks like Parrot Palin got her cracker AND her talking points this morning. How cute…

Do we really need another 4 years of peanut brained, shallow and dangerous people running this country for the benefit of themselves and their fellow neo-cons?

Women for Obama.

…wasn't Palin's husband a member of a group in Alaska, that wanted to succeed from the United States? ..
Again lies that play at the fears and prejudices of people. These innuedos have no place for adult politics.
It's the economy stupid and Obama and Biden are not the dummies

That's low even for the her. So can we use the same logic and say how she was a member of the party that wanted Alaska to break away from the United States? Sounds pretty radical to me. But since real facts don't really seem to matter to these people, why not say it.

I am so sick of these nasty tactics the McCain camp is using, get real or just go away! America has enough problems because of you and your buddies.

It's not just time for a change, it's way past time for a change!!!

McCain is a road to nowhere.

Mccain-Palin, what you both will do to win- Please just go away both of you are a disgrace to Washington.

GO Obama and Biden, the people, voters and leaders around the world are waiting for you and your leadership. God Bless

Bill Ayers doesn't hit the radar screen in this election. The George W Bush cheerleader for 8 years and a 25 year proponent of deregulations seems more significant.

Just look in a mirror. We've all had past relationships with people that, in the end, weren't in stride with our values and beliefs.

This election is not about past relationships, instead, the constituency is more concerned with the future of our country, more specifically, the next 4 years.

Hindsight leads me to firmly believe that such distractions in the past are partially responsible to our current predicament.

Yes, get ready for the last ditch deperate attempts by the repubs to try to gain some ground, as they know America is mostly behind the Dem ticket, and that is growing stronger daily because of just these kind of attack mechanisms. McCain's camp is going to try to trash Obama with every peice of B.S. they can from here to Nov. 4.

This will only make the rebubs look worse and lose more votes because America is sick of it. We got it from them last two GOP campaigns and now a 3rd time with McCain. Same old, some old. And yes, Palin is just a GOP barking mouthpiece. With all her little winks and slashing slurs. She and the GOP are disgraceful and sore losers. Most of America does NOT want them in office. We look forward to thier defeat.

SOS- Save America from a fate worse than death- Vote Obama

what isn't true about what she said. His pastor is a racist, he got help purchasing his home from a convicted felon, and his friends are terrorists. sounds right to me!

John McCain and S.P. should be sued by William Ayers for defamation of character. The McCain handlers have been exposed as a group who have yet to grasp the pulse of the electorate. They seem to believe that they need only speak to those who they enjoy labeling the hard working white people. McCain and his buddies have managed to rape the treasury of this country while sending young men and women off to die in a war that may last longer than the Viet Nam War. No disgusting ill-advised attack on Barack Obama can change that fact. While McCain and S.P. continue to shore up their so-called base of beer drinking, gun toting, bigoted, high school drop outs of low information voters; we- the other myriad groups of Americans first want to thank them for not including us as a part of their base; and then unlike your base we are capable of thinking criticallyl. Lastly, your fear tactics are as out of date as your out of touch approach to real issues.

She's turning into a really wonderful Republican, isn't she? You don't need facts, an understanding of government, ethics, principals, common sense, good judgment, self respect, character, patriotism, etc, to win or run a campaign. All you need is to take some flimsy facts and spin them so you can call your opponent a terrorist. It's what has worked the last 8 years. Anyone stupid enough to vote for a candidate based on the lies, smear and fear, deserve what they get. America is in ruins and possibly ruined by the last people who got into office running their campaigns this way. You want 4 more? Now's your chance.

I would say this speaks VOLUMES about the character of John McCain and Sarah Palin. Awful despicable people who don't love their country, just the power it could give them and what they would do to it if given a chance.

Wow, this site is unbelievable. Ayers yes bombed when Obama was 8, but his article of stomping on our flag and wishing he had bombed more AMERICAN SOIL TARGETS was just released on 9/11/2001. I guess only americans that care about their country would be aware of this. I guess in a few decades we will see Bin Laden hosting a fundraiser for Obama, I mean afterall according to this defense all will be forgiven???????

This has nothing to do with uniting the country. These bogus attacks against Obama are more dangerous to our democracy than something that happened in the 1960s when Obama was eight years old. I was twelve and against the Vietnam war, does that make me and millions of Americans terrorists? Maybe we should take a closer look at Sara and Todd's membership in the AIP. (Alaska Independence Party) This group supports secession from the Union.

. . . AND DIDN'T "TODD PALIN" (First Dude") BELONG TO AN ALASKAN SEPERATIST PARTY.

I think the mantra of Todd's Alaskan Revolutionary Party wanted to separate from the United States, and they were stock piling weapons in preparations to do so.

And Sarah has the nerve to make up this lie on Obama.

Why do the news outlets play into the hands of the hate spewing lie spreading idiots from hell? could it be they are in bed with the trash that is bringing the campaign to the point of disgust? I think so. Also I bet you don't have the guts to post this.

Seriously….

This is beyond offensive. It is wildly ignorant and arrogant of the McCain/Palin campaign.

I think Palin has a lot of talent. But her ignorance to broader national issues and international affairs is dangerous during these times. These sophmoric attacks belong at some other level of election (perhaps student council). But not the presidency.

At some point Americans will need to wean from a dependency on cheaply crafted attacks to ponder on matters of far graver importance -issues.

I guess Paliin is starting her run for 2012. Shame on you Sarah. Add this inflammatory comment to: we may need to go to war with Russia, can't say what newspapers she reads, I can see Russia from Alaska so I have foreign policy experience, didn't respond to many questions during the debate, winking at the audience (would she do these with foreign diplomats????), troopergate, not knowing McCains voting record, confusion over her stance on Pakistan and same sex couple rights to name a few. Change 08 Obama-Biden

PALIN … The last dame that shoudl be poking pins in her Obama doll. She is married to a guy that wants to seceed from the USA.. Zounds and gadzooks!

The media is so liberal and the democrats are so blind. Concentrate on the economy? I wish Obama could do that, the only thing I hear is the word CHANGE and nice speeches full of empty promises. Like he has not attacked McCain, let alone Palin these last few weeks. McCain should of started his fight long time ago. I can't believe that one could vote for someone that belonged to a racist church more than half his life with messages like "dam America"? And only stopped having a relationship with Wright because it became public? You want to talk about racist. It does not get bettern than that. What a bunch of hyprocrites. The democrats are the ones who should crawl back in a hole. They are the ones who started this mess with Clinton and did not want to oversee Fannie and Freddie. WAKE UP AMERICA.

What's the difference between Gov. Palin and a Pittbull? A pitbull had a better chance of getting me to vote for McCain.

As a voter I am truly tired of these senseless rampages, especially from someone who is no better than a 5th grader. Let's hear the "real" facts. Let's hear what specifics McCain proposes to help this country. Oh that's right he can't, because he is in lock step with Bush. Forget it, I already know what Bush wanted. I've experienced it for almost 8 years.

Troopergate! Troopergate! What's worse for our country, being on a board with someone who was a radical many years ago or abusing the power of the office you hold RIGHT NOW? Sarah Palin is may not be a deep thinker, but she's ambitious and vindictive as all get out … also.

Are you telling me she actually read an article in the New York Times????? It just can't be, doggone it.

I hope you're looking forward to Saturday Night Live tonight as much as I am.

omg,, this lastest from palin is totally ridicules,, how dare her even go there,,,, how low do these two(mccain and palin) have to go to get attention???palin has stepped way over her bounds ,, its called sleaze,, what makes her think she;s top dog? thats enought to make anyone not even think twice about who they are goin to vote for,, you want a name caller like her and mccain? throwin out aqusations that arent true,, to win? imagine if they did win,, what they would tell you? more lies,, cover-ups,,,, more sleaze,,, palin,, u have lost all my respect (if there was any left) go back to alaska and do your damage there ,we dont need you here in the US of A,, obama/biden 08 and beyond,,

Why would Obama support Bill Ayers when Obama is running for the presidency??? Then Bill Ayers would want to blow up the government again. this accusation against OBama just doesn't make sense.

The Republican party now has two femmes fatales: Coulter + Palin

"Force for good"???!!!!!

Palin spent $400,000 to lobby for shooting bears and wolves from planes, which the majority of Alaskans were against.

BRUTAL MURDER OF WILDLIFE IS NOT A FORCE FOR GOOD!

@ CHAR-

Absolutely brilliant comparison!! But you have to remember that neo-cons cannot stand facts and figures- like Stephen Colbert says, they go with their "gut"

Palin is fair game now. I honestly didn't think even SHE could go that low. Bring it on "Joe Six-Pack" AKA "Governor Nitwit"

I don't under stand how someone can just say thing like that and then just wake away from it. This is country first, no this is disgusting. I wonder what John MaCain fellow veterans think of him now. I wonder what Sarah Palin says wen she talks to God (Sorry but it the only way I can get what I want ) Wen do we start to call them on the lies ? How much do we have to take? This is not the American way.

She lacks the credibility to change the minds of California voters. We have a large portion of educated professionals who know Palin has no
evidence that Obama has done anything inappropriate as a result of knowing Ayers when he was 8 years old. The same is true of the Chicago Rev. that the RNC claims is an Obama problem. CA will go Democrat in the GE.

Nice comment coming from the GOP cheerleader who is married to a guy that was a member of Alaska Independence Party until 2002. I guess after she expends her VP powers she will let Todd become the president of independent Alaska.

Sarah you're out of your league!!!!

Katie Couric interview is all you are going to get.

SARAH GO AWAY !!!!!!

KEEP YOUR COMMENT TO YOUR SELF.

MCCAIN = "DIMENTIA"
SARAH = LIPSTICK = "AIRHEAD"

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

When I grow up I want to be a Republican, so I can tell lies, get away with it and twist the truth around so badly I might be taken seriously by idiots!!

And here come the next wave of swiftboat attacks! Because all those dishonest, fear-mongering negative ads worked SO WELL for Mc-Palin last month! These 2 are a desperate joke.

Palin is a genius. If I were running for president, that would be totally the way I would want to win the hearts and minds of America. Man, I just get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside when I think about going to the polls and voting out of fear. It totally rocks, it's like, dangerous or something. And let me tell you, I can't wait get rid of this uncomfortable and confusing sense of optimism that that Obama guy has been has been pandering. I just want to work at an unfettered primal level. And then there's all the free time I'll have to shoot nature and obsess about my sports team being better than your sports team when I don't have to think about the economy and foreigners all the time. So many wacky names and real big numbers. Stupid media. What self respecting Joe-6-pack hockey mom has time for that?

Obama=Terrorist. McCain=Maverick. We could of had this election over with months ago. The only thing that would make it better would be if there was some nuculer threat to boot. Wait…what's that Pat Robertson?… Nuculer attack between Nov. 4 and the inauguration….Woo Hoo, home run. U.S.A.U.S.A!!

It's funny what politicians will say once the desperation kicks in. Palin/McCain are back on their heels big time. I personally can't wait to see their faces after these two lose. Palin is running the same strategy as Bush ran in 2000. Take a look at some of the clips that Olbermann put together on last nights show. The similarity is incredible, they are using the exact same strategy.

I like it !!! People need to KNOW who the man is they are getting ready to vote for,NOT who he say's he is,but who he REALLY is !!!Most people are so unhappy and angry with Bush and the Republicans,they are going the other way,I understand that,but Obama ,who's your only other choice ,is not who he says he is.Judge him by the company he keeps.

Obama/Biden working the people

McCain/Palin working for the people

Wow, finally all the secrets are coming to the surface, New York Times started this morning now ABC is bringing up what Chicago news is talking about….????

sticks and stones may break our bones but McCain/Palin can never hurt us
Obama/Biden '08!

K that you have to be

Ms. Palin didn't name which publications she reads recently. Therefore, she will slander Mr. Obama with a quick " sound bite," without reading and learning about the facts. Too many reports have spelled out in details Mr. Obama's relationship with Mr. Ayers. I hope the public will really read the facts — and see how she continues to spin "mis-truths. " She probably doesn't know anything about the McCarthy era…and how people were hurt by such tactics as those of the McCain team. I don't know how she can live with herself. Her depth of understanding is shallow — and she will try to win at any cost. If the election weren't so important, one could laugh at her antics.

This is such a shameful twist of facts, not only to Obama, but to all of the people in America who have been touched by and had their lives ravaged as a result of bona fide terrorism, both domestic and foreign. That someone who is seeking the vote of American's under the guise of "wholesomeness and honesty" would stoop this low in an attempt to distort something this grevious for the sake of spin … well, it speaks more to the character of a demon than a saint. I think she may well experience some poetic justice of her own soon. This act of hubris may have opened her own Pandora's Box.

She makes me sick…petty politics from a half-wit.

McCain and Palin are pathetic. If going negative and trying to smear your opponant is what you need to get ahead, then that is a pretty hollow victory. It does a disservice to the people of this country to distract the focus away from the issues that affect us all and into a campaign of attacks and defenses. With this tactic, we all lose.

I used to like John McCain back in the days but now he is a pitiful example of how a politician will sell his soul to get elected. And to think, he was the one who said he was going to run an honorable campaign.

Dear John, Please don't take your eye off Ms. Palin. She'll say and do anything to get what she wants, and I think she wants to be Commander in Chief. She stabbed you in the back about your decision to stay in Michigan and she's willing to make bold faced lies about your opponent even when presented with evidence to the contrary. Watch out! This woman is a snake!

McCain is not a truthful man. Remember when he said he will get the criminal person or persons who ask for pork barrell and you will know their names, well guess what Sen. McCain just signed this recent bill with a bunch of pork barrell in it….and now you know his name SEN. JOHN MCCAIN. What a liar!!!!! Remember what you tell the american people. Yours lies do catch up with you. Another Bush in the making.

Desperate times for desperate people make them say ANYTHING that will avert the negative buzz off themselves. The McCain/Palin campaign is deteriorating everyday, like the economy, so what else are they going to do? Spread lies and put fear into people's minds, that's what. Yeah, THAT'S the kind of leadership we want for America…YOU BETCHA. Palin is PATHETIC.

Thank god this Bimbo won't be in the White House. The McCain/Palin ticket is TOAST. The writing is on the wall.

Lies, slimy politics, and dishonor. These are the values of the supposed "War Hero".

Now…..maybe Sarah Soundbite has connections with terrorists – or at least who she views as terrorists – because she lives closer to Russia than Obama.

The logic of her and my statements is equally absurd.

She is truly pitiful, and just keeps embarrasing herself and digging her hole deeper and deeper.

Mccain simply George Bush on steroids Sarah Palin is just Dick Cheney in Earrings. this people are pathetic. I want to hear something about my mortgage not who is connected to whom. After all mccain took a Vacation on the sea with An Italian Mafia who has been convicted So john Mccain is a member of the Mafia family

Can someone stop Rove and Palin from destroying the social security system ?

Hopefully, McCain,72, will retire now.

The McCain/Palin can't win by telling the truth so they're making stuff up and continuing to tell blatant lies. Wonderful!, just freakin' wonderful!

The woman is a demagogue. She is truly disgusting.

Ahh, so Palin is done with her debate and she thinks she did such a great job that she now has our ear. Guess again, Mrs. Palin. Enjoy your time in the national limelight. It is coming to an end.
You failed to impress the majority of our country and now is being used by Grandpa McCain in his sleazy campaign tactics. Too bad it won't work.

After complaining of sexism, Palin falls back on the age old Republican subtle racism to suggest that Obama is not one of "us." Americans are tired of nasty personal attacks and this style of campaigning. Why doesn't Palin tell us how she will fix the economy, health care, national security (the list goes on and on)? Instead she engages in juvenile playground name-calling. America deserves much better….the choice is ours.

McCain health care plans will cause more Americans to go bankrupt.

Palin is misleading the country right now with all these false claims. GOD only knows what will happen when they get elected this year… May GOD bless America.

Trophy VP pick Palin hangs around with a war monger wacko who uses her .

If you were interviewing a person for the VP of your comapany, and she said she was qualified because she was a joe six pack hockey mom…would you hire her?

This isn't surprising. McCain/Palin can't win on the issues, so they have to resort to the politics of fear and hope that enough Americans fall for it (again).

when you don't have a plan, or can't defend your policy, you attack the
person. This will backlash on McCain. We are tired of this gargage.

smear, fear and swiftboating, a page out of Bush, Rove, Cheney play book, but the difference is we know how they lie to win now

Way to go Char

I'm very disappointed to think that the John McCain that we respected and admired for so long has turned to this type of campaigning

PUHLEEEZE!!! Next thing McPain/Failin will be doing is calling Obama the Antichrist!!

ANYONE who votes for that ticket after watching that pathetic performance by Palin in the debate with Biden should have their head examined (or a labotomy).

WAKE UP America, and smell what the Republicans are shoveling!! Can Palin answer a question, for crying out loud??

"Oil…energy…down home…fight…drill, baby, drill…victory…win…energy..hockey…"

GIVE ME A BREAK!!

This ticket isn't qualified to run a Burger King!!!

If this is all they have left, You bums are finished!!! I think I will go donate another $30 now…

Obama/Biden 08

I never thought I would hear myself say this, but this is an all-time low, even for McCain and Palin. They should be ashamed for stating such negative and misleading statements.

Palin you stupid woman , Obama was 8yrs old when that happen, In fact the same newspaper you read that from state that Obama is not close to Bill Ayers. How dare you accuse Obama of being a terrorist. Obama have nothing to hide, I can't say the same of Palin you stop the investigation in Alaska ,you are the one that is hiding the truth from the American people, your lies will get you and McSame nowhere. So shot up and tell us the people the truth.

This lady is not only dumb but she is extremely dangerous. Just because she did not make a fool of herself (as usual) in her debate, she thinks she is the savior of the American people. This right wing nut case is extremely dangerous for this country, because she has the combinmation of 3 charcteristics which makes her very toxic, dumb, ignorant and power hungry.
Even God canot help America if we give power to the Republican party for another four more years.

This doesn't surprise me. I am sure we will hear more offensive personal attacks from the McCain campaign as November 4tj gets closer. The polls aren't going well for McCain.

This is beyond pathetic. The right-wingers have totally proven our point.

You have nothing … NOTHING that you can defend McCain or Palin about. Not one shred of evidence that either one is anything more than a total loser.

Hey, I bet that once in the 1980's Obama took a leak at a urinal right next to a guy who had a criminal record. Let's bash the media for not covering it! Let's make some completely asinine argument that Obama is now a criminal because he stood next to this guy for 30 seconds.

The train has left the station "folks", the election is ovr and the American people finally opened their eyes to see the McCain for what he is: Selfish, greedy, corrupt beltway politician.

I do expect new lows coming from McCain camp, since they have got nothing left in the ammo dump, now that the real McCain is revealed. Palin choice shows nothing but a reckless "hail Mary" from McCain, who is NOT a republican by any means or stretch of imagination.

Why is it that not a single article has been written about McCain's involvement in the Keating 5 scandal, same as the one today, where he actually took mobey from embezzlers and was censured by Congress for "inappropriate behavior". Is there media self-imposed a gag order on it?

What I am mostly surprised is the press "non-coverage" of McCain's womanizing and philandering in DC for the last 20 years. It is talked about in every circle within the beltway but the press is "mum" about it. He has hit on every attractive woman in every party he has been to, including tasteless proposals and groping the wives of his colleagues. Why?

Billy

She is 100% correct. Obama has character issues

An Alaska judge has refused to block the state investigation into whether Gov. Sarah Palin abused her power when she fired Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan this summer. Attorneys argued over the proposed temporary restraining order to block the Legislature's investigation on Thursday.

Life is not fair…No lying is not fair!

TO THE McCAIN CAMPAIGN: THESE TACTICS NEVER WORK AND WILL WITHOUT A DOUBT BACKFIRE ON YOU. THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN ISN'T ANY BETTER.

WHY POLITICIANS CONTINUE TO USE THESE DEPLORABLE TECHNIQUES IS BEYOND COMPREHENSION. NEITHER OF YOU DESERVE TO BE OUR PRESIDENT.

It's comments like these that turn an intellectual conversation about issues into biased and inaccurate rants and raves.

If Palin is really up to the job, she should play hardball rather than say the media is being unfair to her ("what news publications do you read" is NOT a trick question).

What ever happened to "attack the ideas, not the person"??

Here we go again. Bush=McShane=Palin=swift boat politics.

Here we go…..this is going to be an especially ugly month for politics. McCain is going for broke being behind in the polls…and Obama will have to step it up in response. Typical Washington politicians…..

This is definitely a new low from McCain campaign. Why they don't stick to the reality and talk about the issues! Palin should learn some more about their platform and focus on that instead of mudslinging!

Sarah Palin is a complete moron, what else does she have to campaign on other than lies. Those of us who can actually read and write new that the first time she opened her mouth. Sarah go home , hold your baby and try and teach your children some morals even though you don't have any of your own.

Say it ain't so, Sarah. How soon Ms. Palin forgets her Christian roots. I believe the person she claims to follow was accused of sedition and crucified for these false accusations. In fact, one of the charges laid agianst him was the he "hung with the wrong people (my paraphrase)" Perhaps were she present in that time, she could have been one of the Pharisees bearing false witness, since it seems she does that so well.

Sarah Palin is a despicable human being. The fact that the McCain campaign is stooping to this level of political maneuvering out of desperation indicates the total lack of capability to lead this nation forward at this most crucial time in history. Running a campaign based upon character when our country is in such desperate straights and our citizenry is in such dire need of leadership and ideas just shows that McCain and Palin both would be completely incompetent as President of the United States. Simply pathetic!

The McCain /Palin Campaign is just a disgrace to the American Politics. I don't really know the type of guys following this Ticket.
Shame – Shame – Shaaaame.
The world will just laugh at this type of modern Politics.

Sarah Palin is nothing but a liar. Years ago there was a dance called the "Twist". It perfectly fits her campaign. She has become nothing more than a political hooker, prostituting any way she can to get elected. GOD save us and forgive us if we put these two liars in power.

This coming from a woman who's husband advocates Alaska's secession from the U.S. When will we hear more about Toad's radical beliefs?

Mccain should call this lady to order right before she gets sued
She is shallow and dumb

Just goes to show what a lying, shameless bunch of thugs McShame/Palin are. Truly despicable, and utterly desperate. I guess when you're losing as badly as they are, they can't run on real solutions and a positive tone. They have nothing but the albatross of George Bush, Dick Cheney, and McCain's own 26 years of failed, angry policies to weigh them down. They can tread water all they like, but in the end it is their own party, and their own failed policies, combined with Mrs. Folksy, eye-winking Palin as an extremely poor choice on the part of McCain, that will sink them to the bottom.
The liars have been in the White House for 8 years, believing in their own dark medicine, and feeding it to us in ever larger doses.
But behind their jaded eyes, lies the truth, and their dilemma.
Vote them out on Nov. 4, like a political tsunami rolling across this great land, and let's right this ship….

ANCHORAGE, Alaska– An Alaska judge has refused to block the state investigation into whether Gov. Sarah Palin abused her power when she fired Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan this summer.

humm…isn't Palin married to a guy who joined the Independent party in Alaska that wanted to leave the nation?? So isn't she married to a traitor??

It's about time McCain/Palin come out swinging about Obama, his ties with Ayers, etc. and his rhetoric! He has yet to say anything but fluff while people follow him blindly. Wise up America!

Still waiting for the bankruptcy question to asked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice try Sarah. Thanks for playing. Now, shoo. Go back home.

It's sad when you have to resort to lies cause you have no economic policies or solutions to help this country out of it current economic crisis! This will not work McCain and Palin are desperate right now!!

It seems pretty silly to try to distract attention from the economy when that's the issue most critical to Americans' well being these days…. It doesn't inspire much confidence in McCain that he would waste our time with such trivia at a time of such grave peril.

Palin is desperate for power. She is offensive to it's extreme. No one likes you now and you will have no place in this country for another hundred years!

Shame, shame, shame on you, Sarah Palin. You tout yourself as a loving Christian but freely and gleefully lie at every opportunity. Shame, shame, shame on you. Every lie is a sin, without exception.

Unlike Ms Palin, William Ayers can connect the dots from one thought to the next and speaks and writes intelligently.
I would bet some of our worthless US dollers that Ms Palin had no clue
about 60's radicals and the Weathermen until someone in the McCain group said "Here, say this."
It is interesting th

THE GOP ARE TERRORIST. TO THE PEOPLE ON MAIN STREET

Oh Sarah, you should be careful!

For someone who has a husband that is the member of an Alaska separatist group and the member of a radical church that seeks to convert gays and Jews, you sure talk a lot of bs!

Wow, here he go… They can't beat Obama with issues concerning America, so they're going to go on the low-road. Here's a great example that McCain-Palin are not running for the people, but running for themselves. I'm still an undecided voter, but every single day my vote is traveling more and more towards Obama.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska– An Alaska judge has refused to block the state investigation into whether Gov. Sarah Palin abused her power when she fired Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan this summer.

Attorneys argued over the proposed temporary restraining order to block the Legislature's investigation on Thursday.

This is why she trying to put the attention on Senator Obama..

McCain is reducing himself to something he said he would NEVER let himself do..It's a pity he cant campaign honorably like he swore to..I guess desperation brings out the best in people..McCain you make me sick..this is not the way my heroes fight! You know this has to backfire on you. The economy is too big a story to be sidetracked it will come back to bite you big time..It's too bad you cant concentrate on what is really worrying your "friends"..THE ECONOMY..I guess you have no real solutions or ideas there..Huh????

GOP is now completly pathetic.

Nothing left to do but grasp for straws and attack Obama's chartacter. Too bad they don't have any real ideals on how to move this country forward.

so now palin is a swiftboater….hardly surprising since she is comfortable with playing very loose with the truth….and since their campaign has been so pathetically thin on issues and substance..this just makes them exposed for what they are…just another bush/cheney/rove bunch…

so next i guess they'll be pointing out that …gasp…obama is black…

The choir that the Governor is preaching to will swallow this without question. Obama supporters will see it as the desperation that it is. Independents, whom I like to think of as "thinking Americans" hopefully see these as the words of a campaiagn that has nothing else to say, no new ideas. A pointless, meanspirited and shameless attack.

If the best you can do is guilt-by-4-degrees-of-separation you must be pretty desperate.

Pathetic!

Last act of a desperate campaign

I was with 18,000 people in Newport News, Virginia today, trying to see a glimpse of Obama.

Palin is a pretty face telling everyone what everyone has already heard.

Using fear, only this time with lipstick, isn't going to keep working.

Obama/Biden 2008

Look how Presidential Obama is!

God I love Sarah! Finally someone with the guts to tell the American people the real truth about Barack Hussein Obama. Sure can't count on the left-wing media to do their jobs….

Another hail mary! Won't work….

Obama 08

How sad the McCain/Palin campagin has become. This women is one clown shy of a circus as it is, and has helped turn the Republican side into a circus. I was once a strong republican, but thank you McCain I can no longer have respect for what you have become. Your running mate has made me think twice about you and your mind set, and this sort of mud slinging has proved your desperate and I refuse to become desperate with you – YOU BETCHA – WINK WINK

Sarah really shines in the gutter.Maybe she can drive the warlocks and witches out of D.C.I bet Jesus would be so proud of her now.

This is a slippery slope Palin and Mccain are heading down. The Keating 5 comes to mind. Palin's own questionable ties to witch hunters, seccesionists and her ethics investigation all will be fair game. It has become obvious McCain can't win on the merits of his campaign, so it's smear time.

Comments like these make her a very very ugly person and if she plans on running for president one day people will not vote for her Republicans, Democrates or women. Palin you got mud on your face, you look disgraced somebody going to put you in your place. McCain and Bush is more of the same. Palin needs to take that bridge to nowhere home, her fame and for that matter fortune has run out.

Here they come, right on que. The republican ticket starts firing slanderous/meaningless personal attacks against the democratic candidate in an attempt to move the focus off the issues… issues that do not serve the republicans well, especially after the 7+ years of ineptitude we saw from the current republican administration. Though we are not better off after those 7+ years, hopefully we are the wiser for it and do not fall for these cheap shots again!

No matter what "Unstable Mc Cain" and "Unable Palin" say, I will never vote for those clowns!
OBAMA 08 !!

Is that the best she can do? If he was a terrorist I don't think he would be walking the streets today.

" For God's sake, you must divert to another track now!" yelled the sweaty dispatcher Joe. He continued to say " There is a bridge ahead that leads to nowhere!".

The conductor responded "My name is John, I say we stay the course. This is the same course that my best friend George told me to take."

An image of old man appeared from nowhere and whispered in the conductor's ear. "My name is Dick. Just stay the course John, I' m sure you can make it." The left eye of this man winked as he continued to say " I know the builder of that bridge and it is safe."

Weeks later after the crash a young inspector wearing a blue trench coat came to my office. He said to just call him Barry. He told me that he had completed his investigation of a train wreck that happened weeks earlier. He said " I know who built that bridge….that famous bridge to nowhere." He reached inside his coat and pulled out a very thick envelope and gave it to me. I quickly opened the envelope and pulled out the contents. My eyes dropped with sadness as I saw the name of that bridge builder.

The Palin Constuction Company

I am appalled at the vituperous attack on Senator Obama by Governor Palin by asociating him with terrorist organization when he was 7 years old!! This is the usual Republican trick. When Dukakis ran for president the Republican elder Bush concocted a Willie Horton story saying that he was soft on crime. When Kerry ran the younger Bush concocted a swift boat attack on him. Is this the way the Republicans run a campaign?

ANOTHER ATTEMPT from McCain CAMP to take our EYES off the REAL ISSUES of our economy and THIS high bail out bill that was caused by McCain and his history of VOTING with BUSH. Will someone tell this LATE and DUMB woman that this has ALREADY been news and if this is the only thing that are going to do is RETURN to the same TACTICS that were USED before she WAS used, then she is the fool, NOT the American VOTERS. What she needs to EXPLAIN to the American voters is what kind of witches and warlocks did HER pastor remove from her evil body? She also needs to tell us why the Republicans thinks her and her husband should continue to BRAKE the LAW in Alaska after a Superior JUDGE stated that the CASE would be heard on OCT. 10 th. Just because she perform 20% out of 100% during her debate with Biden, DOES not make us forget the SAD and SORRY interviews she has GIVEN.

Wasn`t it the McCain camp that accused The New York Times just two weeks ago for being "an Obama advocacy organization"?

Maybe McCain should ask himself why Palin was attending a meeting with AIP(Alaska Independence Party) a couple years ago.I guess it`s time for McCain to change his slogan from "Country ¨First" to "Alaska First".

McCain is conceding Michigan to Obama.He`s down in the polls.It`s obvious that he will do everything to win this election with flat out lies and fear mongering.

Obama/Biden 2008!

Has Palin done any research on Mr. Ayers.
1. The Weather Underground never killed anyone, while they did cause much damage, no one was killed during their bombings
2. It happened after 1968 when after RFK was shot, their was no one in the election to represent anti-war people. People were being suppressed for saying their opinion
While they were wrong, it appeared to them that SDS(Students for a democratic society) non-violence wasn't working. While their actions were wrong, what they were protesting against was right.
3. If he wants to mention acts that happened years ago, Then why has the Keating five been brought up.
4. Ayers gave only $200 to the Obama campaign, $1 less and it wouldn't have been reported
If she wants bring Ayers up, She should have researched the facts and if sure wants to bring up history. Keating 5 will come up on McBush.

Sara is beyond being cute with these type of statements, it puts her into gutter politics and we all know the type of woman that flounders for attention in the gutter. It is know time to turn Sara off by ignoring her.

Republicans, your policy is lies after lies after lies after lies after lies after lies after lies after lies…

It just makes me ill that the Republican's are going to take this election to the gutter and not stay on the issues in this country. Our country needs leadership. We have tough times ahead and instead of trying to win on the issues that matter to American's they will drag us all through the mud to get to a position of power. Disgusting!!!!!

We American know better than that, the world is not the same ever since 9/11 of 2001, and it is getting worse not because we are not doing a good job to protect ourselves, but the radical terrorists are working hard to bring down democracy and freedom throughout the human race. It is a dangerous time for any amateur on-the-job-training commander-in-chief, without a solid record of defending our nation on the front line.

Goodness. How low will they stoop? Obama was 7 years old when Ayers was part of the Weathermen. Anyone with basic math skills should know that.

Weii, it just goes to show you that she is at last reading a newspaper, even if it is old news. Instead of spewing hatred she should try to complete the new Bush biography-"White House for Dummies"

Sarah Palin is no independent thinker. She's capable of nothing more than being John McCain's puppet. She's a great actress who excels at memorizing lines. John McCain is desperate, and it shows with his selection of a VP running mate. Could you imagine her running our country, should something happened to McCain? I think it's scary.

Dear Char,

You are an idiot.

Wow! Palin is pathetic! Going a little to far as saying that he has a terrorist connection

PALIN–

P HONY
A IR HEAD
L YING
I NCOMPETENT
N IT WIT

pretty sure she had never heard of william ayers before her handlers fed her this new script.

it is a terriorist that we know. who did what almost any black radical group was doing in those days so lets not place our hands over our mouths. lets put them on sarah palin and pray that her mccain can get put there brains together and come up with a better attack at Obama's character and relationships to people. mind you she did not have to face racial adversity at that time she was in alaska. obviously trying to divert our attention from the real crisis which is the economy.

Seems pretty desperate to start slinging mud and twisting around the words of another in order to throw the attention off of your own shortcomings. But no worries… we love you anyway Sarah, gosh darnit! *wink*

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

It truly shows to McCain and Palins character that they will do whatever it takes to win. Instead of sticking to the issue's they are going to attack Barack not on the issues but Barack Obama himself.

If McCain truly wanted to put this country first then he would be out there putting forth his plan for this countries economy, healthcare and how he plans on fixing our image abroad instead of resorting to 5th grade tactics of calling someone names.

Sarahs husband, the first dewd, Todd belonged/belongs to an organization, here in Alaska, wanting The State of Alaska to secede from the Union. With that organization having ties to known domestic terrorist organizations. As Cheney sez "so"?

One of Obama's first campaign "coffees" to announce he was entering the race for President was held at Ayers home. Obama was not 8 years old two years ago. Who exactly is lhe liar here????
American's need some truthful answers.

McShame is panicked right now, everything he pulled out of his hat is not working. Guess what? Neither will this! The McCain/Palin ticket is on the bridge to nowhere as far as this election goes. Just look at the polls!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Bill….shut up, you're ignorant.

Hey Palin, you missed this non-story last summer? You rather a bit behind the times…..

It must be because you were so loaded down reading every news magazine and news paper, like you told us you did…..

Palin, before you open your mouth to attack Obama, are you sure you know who Bill Ayers is??? just want to double check……

Fear is what they want you to do. Sad very sad.

How can she leave her small child who will desperately need her? Children tease unmercifully and need their mothers unconditional love and pure motives.

Oh my God! The McShame campaign is now in 'desperate mode'. Americans are tired of been hoodwinked and this swift-boat tactics is not gonna work this time. If the GOP think we're dumb enough to believe Obama should suffer for the crimes committed by one of his Illinois constituents when he (Obama) was just 8 yrs old, then that's another bridge to nowhere! We may have to look into Sarah and Todd Palin'c connections to the Alaska Independence party…Todd was a member of the AIP until a few yrs ago!!! ,,,and my neighbour did time for a felony, do I stop saying hello to him?

Sarah is right—Obama is dangerous—not only because of his terrrorist connections but because of his Rev. Wright connection—

Obama has never answered the question: How do you sit in a church for 20 years if you don't agree with the racist sermons of your preacher?

Answer that please Mr. Senator–

If McCain wants to talk about character can anyone say KEATING 5???

I think the Mccain/palin campaign ought to realise that the world is watching and are tired of the ( attempted ) drift , away from the issues needing attention. The GOP ticket shouldn't come to the town square " naked " (without substance), they should let Americans into thier laid out plan.
What a shame, coming from the so called ' straight talk ' team.

Ralph, Athens Greece

The Geezer is as outdated as the "outdated patchwork quilt of programs" he thinks he can replace?

No more drama, just vote Obama!

The New York Times themselves have debunked this issue. I guess we are back to more of the same from McSame/Failin in that they have no solutions so they "kick the competition in the shins". You go you MAVERICKS you…..you shake it up….lol

That the McCain camp would sink so low, while expected, is truly despicable.

It's typical for a candidate who's wrong on all the important stuff that affects the American people to try to change the subject to trivialities and baseless attacks on his opponent.

This is going nowhere. The only thing McCain is swiftboating are the remaining shreds of his honor and integrity. Shame on him.

What is she talking about? What about her husband who was once a secessionist? They are desperate to change topic. They could talik about polar bears, because personal attacks won't do this time.

Swiftboat Sarah…

It's sad the Palin is trying to belittle Obama as much as she can and at the same time telling everyone about herself being so great! Why does she not give the media a chance to ask her questions freely instead of saying she will answer only at what she wants to say. Don't want someone who is not honest and someone who is so manipulative and misleading.

The sniping hockey mom has no game. This isn't an issue.

I am buying a ticket for Palin to go back to Alaska 5weeks in advance!

palin makes me sick

How low Palin and McCain will go to try upsetting Obama's drive to the White House..
DIRT DIRT AND DIRT.
Mc and P ,We are certain that the anerican people will send you back where you belong.

McCain/Palin campaign ticket is really getting desperate about trying to get their polls numbers up. Palin just need to be happy that she was able to memorized the script that the McCain campaign coached her on real well. For her sake and her campaign ticket, I hope that well coached debate for her don't go to her head.

Well here comes the outrageous claims and accusations of October politics. Its pretty much all the McCain camp has so they are going to try to play petty politics while Obama talks about real issues like the economy and health care. Up to you which is more important.

April, I like your style!!!

The Wright ads didn't work last week, so now they are trying this again. We've all seen this; don't they have anything new?

This is getting sillierer and sillierer.

WHY DON'T OBAMA ATTACK MCCAIN ON THE KEATING 5 . AND PALIN ON HER CORRUPTION ON HER BROTHER-IN -LAW,

I hope the rest of america is as sick of the tearing down of another american at their own personal gains. The america i was born in was built on principals that you compete fairly, if you loose, then you do so with the utmost integrity intact. Mcain/Palin trying to smear a fellow american while not just americans watch, but the entire world watches is truely "unpatriotic". How can we expect other nation to follow our lead if we cheat, and lie?

John McCain's "friends" bankrupted America, and they have the nerve to say Obama's distant connections are bad. So pathetic.

I expect to see more of this kind of attack from McCain/Palin as election day draws nearer. Predictably, rather than have an intelligent discussion about real issues, the Republican ticket will escalate their personal attacks on Obama hoping voters will be distracted. This tactic worked in the 2 previous elections. I hope this year, American voters will see through this gambit and instead cast their ballot for the ticket capable of leading, and not elect those who rely on political gimmickry and outright lies to win the White House.

It is true. He may have denounced Ayers for political convenience but the fact of the matter is Obama is friends with Ayers. Just as Obama denounced Jeramiah Wright who is an anti american radical, Barack Hussein Obama sat in his church and agreed with him for 20 years. Obama is truly a Castro type socialist who blames America first for everything.

Is Obama under any investigation? NO!

Sarah Palin can't say that!!!

I'm waiting for the unraveling of this party to slip racist remarks, any day now……….. they sure aren't winning any New votes.

These lies are insulting to anyone, republican, democrat, independant, americans hopefully are smart enough to see through
this disgusting tactic.

The McCain/Palin ticket has no good ideas and no plan for this country. More war and more lost jobs. I find Palin to be offensive and condescending. Americans have had enough of these distractions. This kind of politics is how we go Bush/Cheney. You like Bush/Cheney? Then vote McCain/Palin. She's Cheney in a dress.

Palin and McCain should crawl back in the gutter where they came from. The idea that Barack is dangerous is laughable. Palin and McCain scare me like crazy. They are just scared of somebody who is bright and gives us hope after a couple of thugs. Rapid dogs should be put down.

She should have said terrorists "pal" around with Obama, he is the top dog after all.

Shame on you Palin…I guess your christain beliefs does not extend to telling the truth.

You are a desperate woman. You know you have lost it ALL. Including your governnoeship…This is the ultimate LIE to no where.

Well, here with go.

The victim of George Bush and Karl Rove's onslaught to win the Republican nomination in 2002 and subsequent "swift-boating" of Kerry in 2004 is now rearing its head.

I just heard it said that obama camp said what Gov. Palin said is offensive, I have researched obama's connection to Ayers and found it to be true, It is offensive to me that this is not front and center in the media. The American people want to know the truth.

another attempt of desperation by McBush and pallin i cant wait to see the new polls on monday obama should have a nice comftorble lead and the change we need will be Coming in less than a month Obama/biden 08!

Ahem, Sarah Palin! It is easy to throw punches behind the pants of the would-be candidate (re-McCain). Why don't you take tough questions from the MSM? How about Trooper gate and the list of your skeletons behind the closet. I hope Obama and Biden get tougher on her. She is getting away with way too much in the name of being a woman. As a woman I am offended by her lack of gravitas and the bar being so low for her. Only in America!!!

The rest of the world does not, by any streach of the immagination , see the USA 'as the greatest force for good in the world'. That comment by Gov. Palin is the personification of the arrogance and ignorance displayed by a person who has to attempt to understand the problems faced by world governments (and people who don't shoot moose for a hobby) in a matter of days. It is insulting to people who have reported, read,and who have attempted to followed current affairs for most of their lives.

Anyone who spews this kind of fear based propaganda lies to sway votes does not deserve to be considered for the vice-presidency!
It sounds like she's been hanging out with Ann Coulter.

Wow – Palin is nuts! She is dangerous! Please do NOT vote for the McCain-Palin ticket!!!

In the next few weeks the American Electorate will really see the real Barack HUESSEIN Obama and his other terrorist friends including the Rev Wright. America needs to wake up to the enemy within.

I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight…..

* If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic, different.'

* Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, yours is a quintessential American story.

* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

* Name your kids Willow , Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.

* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black

President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that

Registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law

professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over

750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human

Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state

of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs,

Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any

real leadership experience.

* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6

years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the

governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become

the country's second highest ranking executive and next in line behind a man

in his eighth decade.

* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful

daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.

* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and then left your disfigured wife

and married the heiress the next month, you're a true Christian.

* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of

birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex

education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up

pregnant, you're very responsible.

* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious

Law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to

raise a family, your family's values don't represent America 's.

* If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI conviction and

no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a

member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your

family is extremely admirable.

OK, that makes it much more clearer now…

THE MCCAIN CAMP WANTS TO BRIND UP REV.WRIGHT, WILLIAM AYERS,

BRING IT ON BI*TCHES
WICTH DOCTOR,PASTOR MUTHEE PALIN PASTOR
KEATHIN 5 , MCCAIN
PALIN ON TAPE TALKING THE WAR WAS OVER OIL
CHARGING RAPE VICTIMS FOR RAPE KITS
MCCAIN OLD AGE
MCCAIN SAYING BRINGING BACK THE DRAFT
PALIN PASTOR SAYING THAT THEY GONNA TRY TO TAKE OVER THE CAPITAL IF SHE BECOMES V.P OR PRESIDENT

MCFAILING/FAILING PALIN BRING IT ON WE GONNA DRAG YALL SO DEEP IN THE MUD THAT MCCAIN AINT GONNA BE ABLE TO GET UP

SO BRING IT ON BI*TCHES BRING IT ON

Palin is fair game now. No more playing nice.

Well let's ask Sarah how her husband's plans to help Alaska succession from the USA is going? Also has Sarah seen any good witch doctors lately? Oh, Sarah how's the Troopergate investigation going? Sarah how's that new pipeline going that a Canadian company is alleging going to build? Hey Sarah ban any good books lately? Hey Sarah charge any rape victims for their rape kits lately?

I rebuke you Caribou Barbie in the name of that is wrong with the economy and the occupation of Iraq.

The Mccain camp is resorting to Bush/Rove tactics of 2000/2004!
The Mccain camp should worry about the appearance of impropriety in the Troopergate Investigation.
Or The fact Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain has enjoyed strong support from a lobbyist group that backs the Kosovo Liberation Army despite allegations the KLA is a Muslim terrorist group with ties to criminal drug networks and al-Qaida.

So it seems Mccain has AlQaida ties..That are alot stronger than Obamas ties to Ayers.

Someone should tell New to the scene Palin to check her own backyard before she starts sprouting lies and slander!

Palin and McCain are showing that they will now say anything , even if it is true or not. They are getting desperate because of their sinking ratings. How sad it has to come to this. Hopefully their negativity will backfire on them. I guess if their is nothing to build up about yourself, try and drag the others down.

Obama/Biden '08

Obama was 8 when Ayres did what he did (40 yrs ago) and all of a sudden Senator Obama (now 48) is responsible for all that? Palin, get a life, go abck to Alaska and take care of your kid rather than Todd and you leaving the baby alone in Alaska. You are a shame to American people. Try talking about the "fundamentals of the economy that are so strong" according to Senator McCain. American people are sick and tired of those Swift-Boat politics. They deserve a lot better than that!!!

If this election was about who could use the most underhanded, dirty personal attacks then it would be no contest. McCain/Palin would win hands down. But this election is about everyday people trying to hold on to their homes, jobs and 401K's. And that's why Obama/Biden will win!

OK SO! AND MCCAIN AND PALIN ALSO A APART OF A RADICAL GROUP AND THAT GROUP IS CALL THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION! SO TRY AGAIN. MS TROOPPERGATE. WHERE IS THE DEMS 527's AT ITS TIME TO HIT THEM WITH ALL THE DIRT ON THEM.

Why can't they just focus on the issues and not have to bullie the other party? We have real problems and I think people want to hear answers, not lies/distortions and media "bites". Don't take things out of context. Affilation is not always what it seems…

Mccain/Palin have nothing else to tell the American people. Obama was eight years old when the Eyer issue happen and Americans understand what an eight years old can do. Mccain left his first wife undivoced and was having an affair with his current wife, Cindy the elitis millionaire Mccain ,who has no idea what a typical Americans are going through and the so call Sarah ,Miss Piggy lipstick , Palin who critized others while her daughter got pregnant at age 17, was unable to answer any foreign policy question that she was asked. She refused to suport apstinence program that could have helped her daughter and now the Republicans are talking like getting pregnant at that age is all good without a husbamd. If it was Chelsea Cilnton or Obama's daughter was pregnant will the republicans be singing the same tune? you could have seen Rush,ORAILEY and Henessey. criticizing and yelling like a mad dog

as of this date 10 4 08 OBAMA HAS BEEN DENIED HIS APPEAL… case number 08 cv 04083 filed in eastern pennsylvania DISTRICT COURT JUDGE BARCLAY SURRICK…PRESIDING……… BARACK HUESSIN OBAMA must now render legal PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP……….CERTIFIED COPY OF PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE AND A BONAFIFIDED LONG VERSION OF HIS B I R TH CERTIFICATE…… a man of deception/ A DUAL CITIZEN……..[ KENYAN/ INDONESIAN.....] not properly VETTED BY THE DNC…… possible FELONY COMING UP R E A L C H A N G E C O M I N G your way possibly to the SUPREME COURT………

sorry palin, your power hungry attitude is not taking you anywhere near the white house!

He is friends with a FEW REPUBLICANS but I wouldn't go as far as Mrs Palin does and call them TERRORISTS , some republicans can be really mean and hateful, but I still wouldn't call them that, OK OK , maybeeeeeeee DICK CHENEY heheee …….

Sarah Palin, in attempting to smear dirt on Barack Obama, only smears dirt on her own face. Her snotty accusations aren't the slightest bit credible. We can only hope that her vindictive, false accusations will make more people decide to vote for Obama/Biden!!

She's desperate and pathetic. The man did bad things when Obama was 8 years old, now he's involved in Chicago politics which forced Obama to deal with him occasionally. McCain and his puppet are getting more ridiculous and low by the moment.

I think this leaves the McCain campaign wide open for counter attacks such as keating 5, mccain's gambling problem, troopergate, palins witch doctor, mccain's in-laws mob ties, etc.

So much for Honor.
What a sad commentary on someone who used to be a decent man. He's heading down the same route as Duke Cunningham.
I know a lot of WWII veterans who are crying in their graves today.

Not the least bit surprising coming from Palin. What do you expect from an airhead?

To quote Dick Cheney, I think we're seeing the "last throes" of the McCain campaign. He was unable to beat Obama on issues, vision or substance, and unable to pull the wool over the eyes of the majority of the American people with the sham candidate Palin. Suspending his campaign didn't work, and neither did trying to cancel the debates. So now McCain will go all Rush Limbaugh on Obama by busting out the right wing's greatest hits. Soon he'll be saying that Obama is a secret Muslim. Too bad it will backfire. You betcha!

Palin smearing Obama? I can't wait until this puppet is put back in it's box in November. Maybe when she doesn’t have the McCain posse to shield her, she’ll be forced to face her own controversy in Alaska. How can anyone still respect a woman who brings nothing more to the table than prepared attacks from the Republican swift-boat machine?

will someone please explain why are they still fundraising?

mc c will be looking so confident at the debate after he received this weekend the questions….hypocrite…can you think Saddleback Church?

The McCain campaign is embarrasingly unethical and dishonest. To think a man who at one time was ruined, hurt, and violated by the same tactics used on him. Rove and other campaign managers blasted McCains reputation and he has chosen to sell his soul. Although he has an opportunity to create education on smear campaigns, PTSD, benefits, and dishonesty, he chooses to sell out. Palin told America during the debates she will not follow directions at the debate but will gladly follow her own rules. How can we trust her to follow the rules in our Administration? How can we trust she will do the honorable thing for America when she defies rules and ethics? Between Palin and McCane, they are on a road to the depths of depression. Wake up America! Our allies hate us; we represent dishonor and a superficial philosophy.

give me a break..i think he was 8years old at the time he met Ayers!!! Let's bring up her excorcism at her church etc etc!!!!!!!!!! "get the witches from her!!!!!"

Whoa, are they getting desperate

It bespeaks of tremendous shame and disaqppointment for Mr. McCain's campaign to stoop to such nonsensical obfuscations in a quest to win an election at such a time in American political discourse. Mr. McCain's campaign, if for nothing at tall, should be mindful of the fact that many struggling democracies look to America for guidance in conducting conducting free, fair and informed elections. It does American equivocations to such countries no good when your political conversations get so clouded with such diatribes and patent falsehoods. Your politics should bring the best in Americans even when you disagree. Americans deserve better!

What a bunch of crap. That woman is not a nice person….

This is not news and Obama was oly 8 yrs old.This hardly qualifies another stupid remark.This woman is not even in touch with her own campaign.What will be news is when the Troopergate results come out.The Mavericks aren't doing well.This proves their desperation.Too bad America is smarter than her.

I dislike Palin more and more and more. She is a scary person.

Sad but TRUE! She's right, Obama is an empty suit that oews a lot to people who are criminals and yes, terrorists.

What a little toady she has become. So sad. McCain needs lies and half truths to run his campaign, the very thing he decried he would never do. A pathetic old man!

He is friends with a FEW REPUBLICANS but I wouldn't go as far as Mrs Palin does and call them TERRORISTS , some republicans can be really mean and hateful …….

Someone should tell this little Miss Neocon smear-mouth that this stuff won't work this time……..but just in case, we all need to voice our opinion as loud as we can as the fight is now beginning….Rove Shields Up!!

Obama 08!!!

Palin was probably told to say this by the McCain camp. She probably thinks she telling some new juicy tidbit, when this has already been mentioned and discarded months ago. McCain is using Palin as his personal dummy.

Oh my God! The McShame campaign is in now in 'desperate mode'. Americans are tired of been hoodwinked and this swift-boat tactic is not gonna work this time. If the GOP think we're dumb enough to believe Obama should suffer for the crimes committed by one of his Illinois constituent when he (Obama) was just 8 yrs old then thta's another bridge to nowhere! We may have to look into Sarah and Todd Palin'c connections to the Alaska Seceessionist party…Todd was a member of the AIP until a few yrs ago!!!

Fear him! That's their plan. You have got to be kidding me! What about some actual plans McCain! And if I'm Sarah Palin and I care about my political future, the last thing I would want to do is use prove lies as a foundation for an attack.

The Bible talks about the spirit of "Witch Craft" as a person who uses their influence to control, manipulate and seduce people or situation. Take a look at how Jezzebel (in the Bible) used her influence (sex appeal …wink, wink) to seduce a nation of people. Wake up America, that Pastor was not talking about a figurative "Witch" but the spirit of Witch Craft

Also, read the book of Revelation that talks about Jezzebel. Please send Sarah Palin back home with her pack of lies. Men/Women/America don't be seduced.

I wouldn't want to see us running to Alaska after she pushes the button!

This is critical!

Obama/Biden 08

This is just another Republican political tactic to make attacks on Obama's character a centerpiece of candidate John McCain's message in the final weeks of the presidential race.What's clear is that John McCain and Sarah Palin would rather spend their time tearing down Barack Obama than laying out a plan to build up our economy.THis is really Pathatic when it comes down to lying and misleading the americian people..Shame on you John McCain for using the Atwater_Rove way of politics..

It never ceases to amaze me what John McCain will do to win this election. His 'Straight Talk' motto seems to have no principlies anymore. Palin has clearly showed that she has none. Talk about power hungry!
McCain, I used to think that you stand for honesty and integrity, but that disappeared some months ago. It's really a pity.

I don't condone what Mr. Ayers did in the 60's, but I am 65 and past those times…I don't forget the.

McCain, if he is the man man he claims to be, should be campaigning like a man, not like a little boy who has been caught doing wrong and can respond by calling your mother names.

If Obama wanted to sling real mud he could start with the Keating 5 and Cindy McCains's drug use and work from there. He doesn't need to and isn't that type of person. But if McCain insists on mudding the waters he will only hurt himself.

John McCain, Sarah Palin and their handlers have told so many lies that they wouldn't know the truth if it smacked them upside the head … actually, that sounds like a good idea. Shame, shame!!

This economy is going in the tank and this is what they are talking about?!? These people need to wake up. If Palin keeps talking about this crap I will vote for Obama. At least he talks about the issues.

Wow. Palin = DISGUSTING

KEATING 5, KEATING 5, KEATING 5, KEATING 5, KEATING 5
TROOPERGATE, TROOPERGATE, TROOPERGATE, TROOPERGATE,
CONVICTED DRUG ADDICT, CONVICTED DRUG ADDICT,

How about her seccessionist ties to the AIP? Her witch craft video, her stance on not supporting raped victims, TROOPER-GATE scandal, her extra-marital affair, her blaming the press for asking her legit questions?? Get some balls.

I guess when they have no idea what theyre doing this is the only way they think they can win. Not this time though, we are smarter and we dont want or need MCpain and his side kick.

How delightfully deceptive of her, and thanks to CNN for a very deceptive headline as well. Does McCain realize that her craziness is getting into the news more than any of his policies? I guess you might call that a flaw in HIS judgment.

Independent supporting Obama/Biden.

I'm waiting for the idiots to respond to this by saying that Barack Hussein Obama is a terrorrist and a muslim and will harm this country. Let me show you how ignorant you will sound….John McCain is a terrorist, he name is similar to Timothy McVeigh (OKC bomber). Mr. bomb-bomb-bomb, bomb-bomb Iran must be a terrorist. Let's round up all those people that look like McCain and McVeigh and send them to Gitmo Bay. Do you see how ignorant you can be?

Palin should go take care of her 16 year old pregnant daughter and her four kids. She is a bum and so is Mc Shame. When the GOP can't win they go dirty by all means.

This comment is directed at the core Repub base which believe the inuendo thrown BOs way. The hope to attract new voters? I don't know if it will work. I would hope that the voters would be more thoughtful. I am certain Palin never heard of Ayers before being provided the talking point of the day since she doesn't read newspapers. There is another high-ranking republican that doesn't read much. Oh ya… GWB.

It is obvious that the McCain campaign is desperate and will do or say anything to take away attention from the fact that they do not have any plans to get Americans out of the mess their party has created. For someone who likes to toss around the word "honor" their actions couldn't be more dishonorable. However, at this time in the campaign the public does not want to hear this crap from either party. They want to know who plans to help them stay in or get a home, put food on the table, save their jobs and stop the warmongering. We are tired of these ridiculous personal attacks. Sarah Palin is robotic spewing whatever is written for her and this is evident since she can't speak straight without a podium and a speech or notes in front of her.

These Statements show the desparation of the McCain-Palin, This also show Sarah palins pure stupidity and lack of knowledge of the issues. This is just a continuation of the Bush administration tactics! Using fear to sway people's votes! As a Christian I think that Sarah Palin should be ashamed of herself, and this woman calls herself a Christian! LOL! Christ clearly taught that the The Spirit of Fear is not of or given by God! So why is she trying to place fear in people? Who do they think they are going to fool with their fear-mongering? Not Me, I used to vote republican but now I am voting for Obama All the way!!! GO OBAMA!!!!

McCain will do absolutely anything to get in the White House – even lose what little shred of integrity he had left in allowing this kind of garbage to spew forth. I hope people see through the ploy being foisted upon them and act/react accordingly: make sure Obama/Biden are the ones that will be elected President and Vice President.

Hopefully the American public will be able to see through these "throw the kitchen sink" last-ditch efforts by the McCain camp.

Now that the McCain camp has realized that they will not be able to get the American public to pick McCain, they will try hard to scare the public NOT to vote for Obama.

With the economy the way it is, though, I have a tough time thinking that the public will shift focus…

i cannot believe what i just read- Pailin hits Obama for "terroist"connection. Can you believe that this woman would say something like this to the whole world- Shame on her. Sara, you are such a lier. i know that you and Mccain will loose big.

Sounds like the "silly" season is in bloom. Apparently McCain-Palin (or is it Palin-McCain) can't win honestly so they're resorting to complete nonsense. Do people really want such power hungry people in the White House? With Palin wanting more power than Cheney, McCain may need to watch his back and get a food taster, should he become President.

When ever one sees an outrageous statement coming from the wannabees, simply send the Obama campaign a donation.

CNN,
Please, don't be like FOX News!

Crap, you got us Palin. Surely you saw that ahead of time since you've also got ties to communists being that close to Russia.
How cute, the McCain campaign is being negative..who would have expected that one?

Palin just keeps on digging herself in kimshie….Keep it up Palin…You are going a great job helping Obama getting elected by showing just how stupid you really are.

-OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Palin is truly a liar. Lies, lies, lies. How stupid does McCain think we are. How many republicans can you really get to hate America? I hope not that many. But republicans are clearly running an anti-American campaign this year. They need to be smacked down.

I am an American. I will be voting for Barack Obama. A true American success story.

Anyone with an IQ over 50 finds this type of nonsense was to be expected by a desperate old coot and a bimbo.

No surprise that desperate McCain would try to defame his opponent by bringing up something that happened when he was 8 years old. McCain has no plan, nothing constructive for America.

Palin has proved she is a true Republican.

Shame on both of them.

Keating 5 anyone?

Her statement was probably made with a wink, a nudge, and a nose-crunch, so how true could it possibly be?

This kind of political behavior is disgusting and borderline libel. It is the desperate act of a desperate party. Palin is the terrorist.

What a act of desperation Mccain and Palin are in big trouble and their desperate and comments like this turn more people off to them!

Yeah, and W has ties to Bin Laden and Saudi oil money. But I guess that's OK, Governor, isn't it? That's not the same thing is it?

CNN have this Illusion! They are my Home…… Never! Never! Never!….
My one Mission is for all my Toto's In Kenya.. To make sure Barack Obama never becomes anymore, than that Illusion….
I keep saying how much I care about the "YOUNG", of this world.. If I can prevent this Idiot of any kind of POWER. I WILL…
24/7… Has You Say…

Palin neeeds to go back to Alaska to taking care of her down syndrome child…Not this time…..We heard that during the primary it did not work and it will not work…..You have a lot to deal with, an unmarried pregnant teenage daughter. Besides, let the whole know who you are? You cheat on your husband… I betcha your kids are not even his child because you are a town girl…………. GO TO YOUR BRIDGE TO NOWHERW….

Sarah's statement is dispicable. It would be very depressing if there is anyone in America who gives any credence to this outrageous lie.

FEAR FEAR FEAR. This is all the Republicans know. Who else is tired of being afraid???

How can Sarah Palin think of herself as a Christian and repeat such untrue remarks? I am thankful that she is not a member of my church.

It's sad to see this sort of thing because many people are unwilling to learn the truth and will always be willing to believe the worst about Obama.

Just when we all think Palin isn't just like the others in DC, she's obviously changing under the political pressure of John McCain. It's a bit of a shame, for once I thought we would have a cool VP.

Clearly they must not have telivision or papers in alaska, I believe hilllary tried the ayers and rev wright stories and see how well that worked for her. Also I would not toot my horn too loudly if I was Palin considering she is still under investigation for ethics abuse not to mention if average joe ignored a subpeona his 6 pack would be headed to jail for contempt.

Palin and McCain are low lifes.

So Sarah Palin accuses Barack of "palling around with terrorists." What's her explanation of the fact her husband was a card carrying member of the Alaska Independence Party, a group that allegedly advocated secession from the rest of the United States. How is that patriotic? Oh wait, take millions of dollars in earmarks from the very citizens that you're trying to distance yourself from. Way to go Sarah. I guess after the scripted talking points you regurgitated at the debate on Thursday, it's back to the same old nonsense. I don't think you can work your way out of this one with a wink and a smile, which by the way was really cheesy I think to everyone except for that dude from the National Review. You ain't no Ronald Regan

William Ayers' idea of change was to blow up establishment buildings. He used the slogan 'need for change now or we'll blow you up'.

This has since been shortened to 'need for change'.

the nyt article, please take a look at the link below….the worst kind of people the mcpiglin campaign…..no more mr. nice guy with the slime ball sarah

http:/www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27018244

and don't forget to google:

Alaskan Independence Party…….Palins belonged.

P.S.

Lets not forget all the rightwing religious zealots out there who spew hate, who claimed that

"9/11 OCCURED BECAUSE AMERICA SUPPORTS HOMOSEXUALS TO EXIST AND ABORTIONS TO TAKE PLACE, IT IS ALL THE GOVERNMENTS FAULT"

"Hurricane Katrina was an act of God to persucute the homosecuals who were going to have a parade"

And guess who all those rightwing fanatical evangelicals are the very people who support McCain Palin. They spew hate for people not like them, then rail at the government. This is McCain's base.

Please play the Palin witch craft youtube video. She is protected way too much, and quite honestly she did such a bad job during the debate, she gets a D for her performance.

McCain and Palin are an embarresment. Don't they have anything better to do with all that's wrong in our country today. Obama was 8 years old when the 'Weathermen' did this….Makes me wonder. I guess we'll have to start examining Mrs. Palin's role with the Alaska Independence Party that recommends, among other things, that Alaska should succeed from the United States. That's really putting 'Country First',…just not the United States of America.

I guess the lipstick is off and we're left with the Pit Bull. It's about all she's good for. Just keep her away from my kids. Gov. Palin makes Bush look like Einstein, and that ain't good.

One word for the McCain Campaign, LAME. Anyone noticed lately, but McCain is looking older every day. (Gettin' meaner too)

Sarah Palin is 100% correct. He has ties with terrorist and they also contribute millions to him. Please wake-up and see Hussein Obama as a left-wing & inexperienced anti-american fool who will destroy this country.

She's back on her high horse again since she came back from speech bootcamp–after her disastrous interviews with Katie Couric. If I were Obama I'd sue her for those comments—Let her continue with her negative comments it's just going to work against McCain.

It is truly a pathetic state of mind when the economy is crashing in a downward spiral for anyone to pay any attention to such smear tactic speeches. You should really really care if you can afford to stay in your homes, keep your jobs and put food on the table.Take my words, You are not insulated.The economy will get worse before it gets better.It is a global problem.Just take a look at Europe with the banking system and the bailouts taken by their governments.Over 150,000 jobs lost in September in USA.Does it not scare you? The economy should be the priority number one issue just like it is in Canada. We have our election October 14th and economy tops the agenda and you should too.Without the economy we are truly busted.

Is this lady 'nuts' ? Sometimes, I think that Sarah Palin lives in a 'fastasy world'. When 'reality' sets in, today, tomorrow or a week from now.., with Thursday nights 'debate' and previous 'interviews' and this lastest comment.., Sarah Palin is "not" ready for prime-time or to be Vice-President or President. Sarah Palin is way over her head and 'out of her league'. Senator Joe Biden, Charles Gibson and Katie Couric proved that. The best thing for the Democratic Party is Sarah Palin. Mike in Montana

McCain/Palin can not win fairly so now they are going to fight dirty. It will back fire and will make people vote for Obama. Didn't Clinton try this tactic
& look what happened to her. Macain/Palin really need to quit stealing everyones material. Palin is the most disquailified person for vice president she can't even answer questions posed to her in interviews or in debates. They better not win because if they do next is World War 111.
The reason Palin cited that article because she didn't read it, I guess she doesn't read much.

What else would one expect from a desperate campaign? They continue to lose ground and, instead of campaigning on issues that really affect all of us, they resort to dirty tactics, counting on the stupidity of the american public. Do they really think that we are all sheep who blindly believe what they say? I for one check out everything that I read or hear from both campaigns and then make my decision. I am insulted that they continue to bombard us with non-issues that are no longer relevant. What a waste of their, and our time, but if they wish to continue on the downward slope they're on, more power to them.

Obama/Biden O8

People dont have to wait till republicans come into the whitehouse to lie to them and deceive them like the Bush administration did. The republican are doing it on their way to the whitehouse. And the funny thing is many people who dont want to vote for Obama for the silliest of reasons are trying to believe what McCain and Palin are saying against him.

Oh HELL! She ain't worth it… Just another republican friday night girl.

palin needs to shut up. the debate the other night showed her incompetence. When asked a question she did not know she decided to talk about energy. She is an idiot. She did not fool us. they will not fool us with this crap either. Talk about the issues and tell the people what you can do for them instead of attacking, Mccain is an old man who has lost his honor and palin is an idiot, what a ticket.

This is pathetic and reputable organizations like CNN should not resort to publishing such garbage. THIS IS ABOUT ISSUES!!!

The McCain has really lost it..resorting to these kind of swift-boat attacks becasue they can't debate on them on real issues. I was undecided, but now I am voting for Obama/Biden.

How pathetic this republican ticket has become. It is nothing less than a mockery of what this great party used to be. Surely, this past republican controlled Congress, along with the Bush Presidency has shown America with out a doubt, that the upper echelon party members and it's affiliates have lowered their values and morals to sub standard levels. If these people think Americans out side of their conservative religious base will believe lies and innuendos portraying Obama as some kind of terrorist lover, I feel my party has drawn the line. I am republican on paper because my values are based on truth, values, hard work and fiscal responsibility, none of which I have seen this past eight years. I would expect my parties nominee to run on his character and record, along with the core values I just mentioned. If that is not good enough, I am appalled by the use of fear and hatred as tools against ones opponent as we are all Americans here. This has gone too far. Our current administration has ruined the reputation of our party and our Nation. If I felt for one minute John McCain and Sarah Palin were up to the task I would vote with my party, but they are both deflecting the issues and facts continuously and attacking the character and integrity of two US Senators who appear to care for our future as much as the rest of us do. The democratic ticket has worked hard to speak about the issues our Nation faces this election. Mrs Palin and John McCain seem to be working to spin the facts and avoid direct talk on what it important. Slander and defamation are not what my affiliation is about. I will vote Democratic this election and in the future, until I see some respectful, honest change in what Republicanism has become. This is why our party is loosing it's base and the democrats are gaining in size. It is not there core views on Government, it is their integrity. Republicans have become biased, divisive, racist and hateful and Democrats have become inclusive and respectful of diversity. What happened here? Disgraceful, simply disgraceful!

These guys are becoming obviously desperate!
Its so surprising that even after a poor vote count from house republicans in the vote on the bailout, McCain can still point to his suspending of his campaign and claim success.If he considers that good enough for him, and if that is all he could come up with even after halting all else (due to failure to multi task) and concentrating on the bailout deal, then I am not sure I want to vote for him.

Who cares Palin!! Oh yeah, hey Palin umm your against re-distribution of wealth? I guess you don't listen to your lord Jesus christ. Read the bible sometime. Republicans are fake Christians. They only want wealth for themselves and businesses.. that's a complete contradiction to everything the bible teaches.

I'm sick of the media never bringing this stuff up. What are you people afraid of??

Sarah Palin has really lost all respect that I had for her. I thought she was a very respectful and smart woman but her comments proved otherwise. As a mother, I teach my kids not to lie and put others down but I guess she wasn't taught that in the backwoods of Alaska.

McCain/Palin drop out of the race. You have already lost.

Obama/Biden 08

PALLIN, I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE TEAM, IF YOUR PARTNER CAN MAKE A DECISION WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE THAT SAYS A LOT ABOUT YOUR POSITION IN THE CAMP. AS FOR YOUR COMMENT ,THAT BOAT SAILED ALONG TIME AGO. AMERICANS ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR FINANCES NOT AN EVENT THAT HAPPENNED BEFORE YOUR TIME. I THINK IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO GO BACK TO ALASKA BECAUSE THE ELCTION IS OVER. STOP THE PARODY.

If I thought Palin knew who they are I'd ask her what she thinks of Mccain's ties to his criminal pal Keating who created the 1st S&L economic crisis for Americans or his buddy Gordon Liddy. And I'd ask her how she likes how Mccain greased the skids with his own hands to make it easier for Keating to cheat Americans out of their tax dollars.
Obama had nothing to do with Ayers' actions, period.

The McCain campaign is using this ignorant woman to attack Obama with vicious lies because they feel he won't respond because she is a woman and a dumb one at that. Furthermore, I guess the country knows the answer to the question, “How will McCain use Palin after the debate?” He will use her giggle, to bat her eyes and spread lies.

You go girl!

Expose the real Obamatron

McCain's decision to use Swiftboat tactics proves that he believes that the end justifies the means. It also demonstrates his total disregard for the public's need to have good information about the candidates. Yes, there are always exaggerations but this kind of junk is beneath everyone. Thank God it's almost over.
By the way, a lot of foreigners are sick of hearing American politicians suggest that America is the ONLY place is the world where people can realise their dreams. It's a fantastic country, but it's not the only fantastic country.

As McCain promised to run a clean campaign, he lies, is ignorant, or he forgets? No matter what the reason is, it's frightening.

You tell 'em Sarah! Why the media isn't reporting on Bill Ayers I will never know.

NOBAMA '08! Use your brain, people! We need a leader!

Hockey mom and a pig with lips stick, sound like big time moron.
if she not kkk . I think this woman is very dangerous
she love life and she thinks every boby else desever death.
This is a joke and so disrepectfull to the America people.
She is a criminal on the run, she needs to go and testify
the case that is going on in her home state.
I can not understand why she thinks she is above the law.
She love her disable baby , she hate abortion, but she has no problem blowing people apart killing mouse.
Now that she is addicted to moose blood, guess who she wants suck?
Blool sucker is always a blood sucker
WATCHOUT FOR MORONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THEY ARE DANGERIOUS

Despicable. The key question is: Will the media fall for this?

Total BS that will backfire for McCain.

Wow… Palin touts herself as a Christian, with good Christian values. It would seem that she easily abandons those values in a desperate attempt to disparage Mr. Obama. She KNOWS the charge is a lie yet she utters it again. Swiftboat politics.
Perhaps Mr. McCain's reprimand for his involvement with Charles Keating and the four other members of the "Keating Five" should be brought up. While McCain was exonerated of any corruption, he was reprimanded for his poor judgement. At least there is some truth to that.

I am sick of this!!! This party will go to any lengths (or sink to any depths) in its sad attempt to stave off its inevitable demise. I think there is a glimmer of hope that the American people are finally waking up and seeing the "true colors" of this bunch, and it's NOT a pretty sight ……

… And since we all know from her TV interviews what a wise and brilliant person Sarah Palin is, we should definitely listen to whatever she plops out of her mouth…

Is this the depth to which American politics and politicians have sunk? We deserve so much more than Mrs. Palin's unformed accusations. Indeed, we demand more. Shame on her and Mr. McCain.

Has everyone forgotten? That, while a POW in Vietnam, McCain collaborated with the enemy and made that traitorous tape? Yes, yes, he was tortured. But, then, how do we know that he, as President, won't be affected by the brainwashing he was subjected to while a POW?

Now, this is an absurd argument. But, if Sarah Palin can accuse Obama of consorting with terrorists, shouldn't we look at the possibility that McCain is a "Manchurian Candidate", of sorts?

The foul stench of desperation.

No way, No how, No McCain/Palin

It's not surprising that an uneducated poor-excuse for a candidate would say this in a moment of desperation….but CNN why are you reporting it? This is yellow journalism, giving any kind of credence to sensational claims that you know are false. Please have respect for yourself and your field. I will stop reading/watching CNN if you can't determine what is real news and what is propaganda. It is fine to report substantiated criticism with Obama but don't fall for Palin's garbage. The reason Obama and Biden ignores Palin is because she is empty attacks, no substance and when you respond to it you play her game….and it's the only game she has. I don't understand how she can claim to be patriotic when she knows nothing about the history of American government. If you want to report this, the headline should read "Desperate Palin falsely ties Obama to terrorism".

Its unsustancial vicious attacks to the caracther of a candidate that disguisted me from the GOP tickett I am an independent voter thats looking very close for issues and facts on both candidates and I am sure just like me millions of Americans are disappointed with the GOP tickett please if they dont have any thing sustancial to talk about they should keep their comments and opions of the candidates to themselfs.

For the last two elections, GOP had used scared tactic, fear factor strategy, lies, and negative, nasty ads to win the election. Do they have anythingelse to offer? I think that's incompetency, ridiculous, and stupid for a party to use these kind of strategies to win an election. I am not a Democrat, but Obama is more presidential than McCain. McCain looks like someone who suffers mental retardation. The worst, he chose a Palin who has no clue what the economy is about. How she is going to deal with this mess their party created? She only has Russia as her foreign policy experience; how she going to deal with the rest of the world? For the first time in my entire life I am afraid for my own country.

McCain and Palin campaign has turned into a joke. Just like Obama stated in one of his speeches, they have no new ideas for the problems of America so they choose to speak negative remarks about him and his campaign to cover up the fact that they have nothing to offer to the American people.

The more desperate and nasty that McCain and Palin get, the more solidly we know that we are heading in the right direction – away from their snarling, rabid campaign toward a better America. I can not wait for the relief from this nasty Republican campaign tactics. But, be vigilante against their cheating at the polls. They will try that again too in a final desperate flail for power.

Am I the only voter who finds this typical Repug type of negative campaigning to be offensive? Their are so many issues needing to be dealt with in our great country right now and the repugs are so low, and continuing to sink, that is this their only answer. Yes indeed we get it you alone are the master of the swift boating style but I have never read, seen, nor heard that swift boating accomplishes effective problem solving which is what Obama/Biden offer for the greater good. You sir and madam, and trust me I use those terms in the most sarcastic tone available to me, have nothing to bring to the table, refuse to answer even the simplest of questions and offer 4 more years of same old same old and much likely worse.Crawl back under the rocks like the rattlesnakes in the Az high country you both are and allow true statesmen to step forth and lead us out of the dark ages of the past 8 very long years.

Shameless! I used to admire John McCain as a man of honor and integrity. At least he was 8 years ago when he ran against George Bush. Sadly, he has morphed into a completely unprincipaled man who will say anything, regardless of the truth, in order to get elected. He is truly dragging the level of discourse down.

And so since CNN reported it this way… and BO denies denies denies… we're supposed to believe YOUR side of the story? No way, No more, uh uh.. you guys are afraid to report anything real these days. You guys are on your way OUT.

I used to incline to republicans. However, so many of them have become shameless liers. They dare to call white black, or the other way aroung, right in front of camera. McCain is no difference. Palin is just a joke.

I have noticed that usually my comments stay in moderation for a 'very long' time especially if I post on CNN. I am keeping close eye on this one!

Palin's comments make me want to puke. Unprofessional distortions.

Obama-Biden 08!

sorry McCain

McDesperate

Palin is pathetic. Her nomination as vice-president is a national tragedy. Of all the more qualified candidates McCain picks this nitwit. The scary part is the 30% of the population that thinks she is qualified for the job. Being mayor of a town that has a population less than 7000, and a governor of a state with 650,000 people is not a good qualification for VP. She runs a state I might add, with the highest high school dropout rate, lowest college enrollments, highest suicide rates, highest rape rates, worst conservation record, least ethnically diverse, one of the lowest levels of individual annual incomes, and the list goes on. How anyone can think this woman is qualified to be more than a 7-11 manager is beyond me. She is no reformer. She gets millions of $$ of earmarks for her state and turns around and says she doesn't. She was for the Bridge to Nowhere before she was against it, she is one of the biggest Oil supporters there is, she is so socially conservative she makes Bush look like Carter, and true to form she spews offensive rhetoric every chance she gets. As evidence by the debate she has no grasp on the consitutionally explicit definition of the job of VP. For crying out loud she has a BA in communications not history, law or political science. Wake up people.

i am growing weary of the attempts to win office at any expense- – whether financial or based on smearing and spreading false claims. These people…McCain and Palin…will stop at nothing to secure their own destiny. It is not about restoring honor, trust, dignity and leadership in our institutions. It is only greed and power and as an American I am ashamed of these people.

So…McCain and Palin are no different than Bush. They resort to "swift boat" ads when they're losing. Sarah should go back to Alaska and let the legislature finish their "troopergate" probe. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!!! I have so little regard for republicans right now, I could not see myself voting for them for a long, long time.

I hope America will not fall for the same old fear mongering. I hope Sarah will go back to Alaska, and hopefully never be heard from again.

Palin proves her absence of knowledge, intelligence and substance every time she opens her mouth. All of the above make her one dangerous candidate. The more she talks, the more idiotic she sounds.

America is a great country. KEEP YOUR STANDARDS HIGH, PEOPLE!!!

well first off sarah palin is a no brain milf who doesnt know half the stuff she's talking about and to say that about obama is wrong. lets talk about sarah palin first off at the debate she could get the name of the army general right. second she didnt answer the question about what is her achilles heel i doubt if she knows what it means. third her and mccain are like the ghost and the crypt keeper she hasnt gotten to know anything about mccains plan, but she is calling out obama and biden on there plans to boost there economy.then lets take a look at her family an unwed teenage daughter who is pregnant and be forced to marry the guy no matter what the daughter says; i bet when they lose the election they wont get married anytime soon. but let OBAMA have had a teenage daughter who was pregnant there would of been a national uproar he's not fit to be president then mccain mccain talks about hes a war hero no you're not cause you got caught what heroic things did you do. your patriotic and brave for serving but lets be serious your not a hero.colin powell hero mccain not what medals do you have. im only 20yrs old and i can read between the lines of McCains crap. stop the drama vote oboma

and so it starts..

In debating lingo it's called "argumentum ad hominem". If you can't defend your position (or if you don't have a position), attack your opponent…

I'm waiting for her to accidentally call him "Osama".

What about McCain's captivity at the Hanoi Hilton. He was bombing women and children. Maybe he could account for his missions with Agent Orange drops and other maiming of women and children in Vietnam -Another war that we did not belong in. Just like Iraq and Afganistan -Bomb, Bomb,Bomb

She's an idiot! Obama has called our great nation "the last best hope on Earth." How does she hope to convince anyone that Obama doesn't believe in this nation?

I don't see how the McCain campaign, with their well-documented aversion to truth, thinks Americans will believe anything they say.

Not surprising that we are now hearing the dying calls of the failed McCain presidential campaign. They are so desperate that they are grasping at any straw. Sad how a once principled man like McCain has sunk to a level so low. I had hoped he would run a decent campaign filled with messages of hope. Instead we get slurs and lies. Very disappointing.

Palin's IQ = Bush's IQ

You can't win on the issues, so you take the low road and dig up old news that Obama has already been cleared of. Congratulations Palin, you have paved the road for the 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Obama.

Referring to Palin as an attack dog is an insult to dogs everywhere. I’ve never known a dog to lie.
If the McCain camp thinks Americans will believe this nonsense then they are even more out of touch than we already thought.
Dawn
Portland, OR.

CNN, there is no link between Ayers and Obama(Mendel's biography on Obama).

This is a rumor started by Sean Hannity and blew up on TV when Stephanopoulus moderated a debate between Hillary and Obama. Let's remember who Stephanopoulus is, a former Clinton White House Spokesman., this is not proven. Stop rumors. Shut up Palin your witchcraft video is being watched around the world!!!

Sarah, do you think US image hasn't been torn enough by your other Republican (Bush-Cheney), now time to rebuild US image, we don't need a Hunter Style (after the last 8 years Cowboy style) of government….who said that conflict can only be solve with muscle, or in Alaska perhaps you can only use the pitbull's or barracuda's teeth. What a Failin' Sarah…..I believe that's not what your pastor tought you at your sunday school….as a christian, you should show more love than attack..

This is certainly going to blow up in McCain's face. I understand he's trying to draw attention away from the economy and trying to energize his campaign again, but there has to be some limitations. I don't see how this would help him. It's really going to push independant further away, and I'm predicting a blowout this election after originally thinking it would be close.

I was wondering when the McSlime Camp was going to start trying to pin Obama to Ayers. The funny thing is that Obama was 8 years old when Ayers was doing his terrorist activities. There is no connection whatsoever. Nice try though!

Now is the time Obama thows in the "Keating 5″ card. That was more recent and McCain was directly involved in this savings and loan scandal.

The Obama Camp also needs to push McCain to disclose his heath records. McCain has had recurring melanoma 4 times which means it will be coming back. What does he have to hide? Come on McCain, you coward! Do the patriotic thing and show us your records. We deserve to know your health status!

A new low, Senator McCain. I didn't think it was possible.

this woman is beyond stupid. republicans think she's wonderful, but she is a threat to society, much less the country.*

I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight…..

* If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic, different.'

* Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, yours is a quintessential American story.

* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

* Name your kids Willow , Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.

* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black

President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that

Registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law

professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over

750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human

Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state

of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs,

Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any

real leadership experience.

* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6

years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the

governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become

the country's second highest ranking executive and next in line behind a man

in his eighth decade.

* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful

daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.

* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and then left your disfigured wife

and married the heiress the next month, you're a true Christian.

* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of

birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex

education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up

pregnant, you're very responsible.

* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious

Law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to

raise a family, your family's values don't represent America 's.

* If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI conviction and

no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a

member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your

family is extremely admirable.

OK, that makes it much more clearer now.

Please help me send this around the world.

Desperate mudslinging from a campaign that is down in the polls and out of ideas. As pathetic as the Hockey Mom's credentials to hold office.

god this will be the most ignorant VP ever……I don't think she will servive as Governer let alone VP.

Palin, nomore negative attacks of this nature. A recent polls show that Americans are weary of this kind of stuff. By the way, the real issues related to the economy are hitting hard enough for anyone to be distracted…so change tactics!

Media should speak for the country's sake. This woman has no brain function regarding moral, truth, justice, decency, integrity, peace, love. She really is not in this level. Maybe Carl Rove's house. But she only have 1% Rove's brain. I doubt Rove will accept her.

I think I'll just turn off the TV and radio from now on when Palin and McCain come on. This is clearly their next step in the campaign: to lie through their teeth the discredit a man who will rebuild what the Republican administration of Bush and McCain have torn down!

I've lost all respect for McCain, and Palin is following him around like a poor dumb puppy.

Sarah Palin acts like she is running for President. I think that Freudian slip a few weeks ago was really just her blind ambition and that empty head of hers. Her blind ambition is going to get the best of her this week and I hoping it will be while she is here in CA. It will probably happen trying to answer a reporter's question. Go get her media.

Sarah Palin has zero credibility. She is the biggest gimmick in the history of US politics.

it's very clear that china will be the next leader of the 21st century, if mc_liar and winkie cutie get their way.

And she calls herself a Christian? What does the bible say about such behavior?

Wow.
Could McCain and Palin get any more desperate?
It won't work, losers.

he has a terrorist name, doesn't he?

McCain is using Sarah Palinnucular by letting her do his dirty job. Shame on you old ….

This is ridiculous! McCain & Palin have absolutely nothing to run on so now they are going to try to scare the American people with a bunch of non truths about Obama. I hope the American people will see through this, and figure it is desparation on the part of McCain & Palin. If the American people believe this, then they deserve everything they have coming!

Oh, please. Here we go, the duo who promised to conduct an honorable campaign are now going to decend to an historic low in an effort to salvage a failing campaign. Karl Rove must be so proud!

Shameless McCain/Palin. Can you talk about issues rather than attacks? It never worked before and never will. Shame on you. What about Troopergate?

It was only a matter of time before they brought up the same old debunked charges. Throw enough lies around and something might stick. There is no regard for integrity in the McCain campaign… they must really be getting desperate.

Bring it on McCain/Palin. Let the nation see your whining, evil, defeated ways. They will go down fighting, but the key part of the statement is that they will go down. Where I live, I have only seen one positive campaign ad for McCain, and that was over a month ago. Since then all of his campaign ads are attack ads that nobody believes because they have already been fact checked. Obama shows ads that tell about his health care plan and the positive things he hopes to accomplish. I know what I would rather hear.

McCain/Palin – nothing positive to say about themselves (only smearing the competition)
Obama/Biden – giving the nation a sense of hope and change to come

More McCain-Palin lies! How about your involvement with Charles Keating & the Savings & Loan Scandal Senator McCain? Senator McCain was admonished by the senate for his actions with his friend Keating. How about the gifts & trips you got from Keating Senator McCain? As for Gov Palin if you have nothing to hide why are you trying to stop the investigation of you in Alaska?

Sorry ditsy Palin; you're just way too ignorant for the American people… because of the stupidity you continually spew and replicate from the McCain camp. It not only makes you look even more stupid because you do NOT have ONE CLUE what is going on but now just an ugly, ugly person. We do NOT want, nor will we tolerate any ignorance and ugly in any public leadership position EVER again!

You're not in your little gossip town anymore… you are a tourist to the rest of our country! You already know that we call tourists MAGGOTS! You mizz Palin are no different than a MAGGOT!

Congratulations for your Miss McMAGGOT title… I can't think of anyone better than you to deserve the title!

This is obama, my friends. Obama is a radical liberal guy who has no credibility to become our President. He is trying to avopid serious questions about himself. Obama is a total fraud.

I wonder how Palin justifies her(and Todd's) ties to the Alaskan Independence Party, who want to see Alaska separate from the rest of the USA. Their founder has said some pretty un-American things in the past, yet Palin found it necessary to commend their work just this spring, telling them to keep up the good work (of convincing Alaskans to vote for separation).

This is the person who would be #2 to a man that sat in a POW cell while defending the same UNITED States of America. How in the world did she look her son in the eye when he shipped out to defend the UNITED Stated of America?

Now that is down right slanderous….

I see where people are starting to call her FAILIN…..
Real dirty politics from McShame and FAILIN!!!!!!!!

Shame on Governor Palin. No one in the Obama campaign is launching and the main stream media is not reporting – accusations posted on the National Enquirer and other websites about her and her conduct and that of her family members. To use her position and access to the voters in the country to make these types of exaggerated statements and accusations that the Republican campaign knows are just that (not the facts) is indefensible.

One more thing.

McCain was accused of taking bribes in the Keating 5 case, but charges were dropped.

Ayers was accused of the bombings but charges were dropped. Yet the McCain/Palin campaign act as though he was proven guilty.

So by their logic, either both McCain and Ayers are guilty, or neither are.

Do they really want to go there?

Don't cave in to another SCARE TACTIC. That's all the Republicans can do.

It used to be that it wasn't that I didn't like Sarah Palin I just didn't want her for my VP or President. Now, I think I might actually hate her. With her new tactics I believe she has no respect for the truth or real morals and I believe this also shows her inner racism and ignorance. I don't believe that there are enough Sarah Palins in the country to spread this disease of hatred and intolerance further than the anti-government groups, but if there are it will be proof as to how far behind this county has fallen.

1960s terrorist? Those were different times 48 years ago. Didn't Palin say during the debate not to look back on the last 8 years of the Bush administration but to look forward? So why is she so concerned with 48 years ago? Palin has so many screws missing or loose under that librarian hair style.

Palin's and McCain's smear tactics are despicable! What about questioning Palin's patriotism, given that her *husband* was a member of a group that wanted Alaska to secede from the US? The McPalin slate has no plan for our economy, no plan for our international quagmire, no plan to lead this country in a new and positive direction. Their moral authority is non-existent.

Sarah Palin is at it again…her hauty, arrogant stupid self…shooting off her mouth as she always does….She is a stupid person who sadly thinks she knows it all….but as we saw on the Couric interview, she can't even recall the magazines and newspapers she reads, because she most likely doesn't know they even exist. Keep it up Palin and you're not only going to lose this race, but you're going to get your sorry behind sued behind belief..

Running out of ideas to gain momentum on your side again huh guys? how about trying something zany and talking about important things like say, uh, the economy?

Who is running for president, McCain or Palin? I can't even tell anymore. She is so power hungry, it scares me…

Really? Your loose mouth, scripted speeches, say-what-you want campaigning has terrorize the nation. Please go back to Alaska to look out after the Russians.

I demand that Palin apologize immediately and step down from the campaign for those scurrilous accusations.

Everyone expected this to come from the McPalin.What better way then to sway from the main issues namely the economy and Healthcare.This tactic will only work with the ignorant. Old news verses the new change.

Go Obama – the almighty is watching.

STOP TRYING TO DUMB DOWN AMERICA, PALIN!!!!

Palin, it's a little too late to be saying this stuff. Basically all the people who've made up their minds are set and the undecided voter will be turned off by your vulgar attitude. It was nice of you to stick to the script force feed to you at the debate, but we need people with a little more brains running the country. You're not an attack dog, you're a woman, have some dignity and start acting like one!

So, does being keynote speaker for (first she was a member then she wasn't) the Alaska Independence Party make you particularly patriotic. The founder of the party said he hated the United States and all it stands for. I guess that doesn't count since only her husband was a member, unless now history's changed again and he was't either.

What a joke!

How despicable!

More distractions!

Instead of giving the American people their vision of where we should be as a nation; more jobs, a strong economy and a united country, McBush and Failin can only attack, attack, attack. These coming from an ideology that has rewarded wealth and not worth and celebrated political parasites and economic vampires in wall street. 8 years is enough.

Can we afford more of the same?

If John McCain wants votes then he needs to set forth his plan for all of us to see, otherwise no amount of bashing and trashing will endure us to him.

He needs to lose the Palin, and get a real running mate. She is nothing but a lipsticked mouth spewing what-ever words pop up on her teleprompter and we deserve better than that !

pathetic…. the mccain campaign is shooting blanks now… they have nothing left to offer as far as the real issues go, so they are getting out the manure spreader….

next will be the 'obama is a secret muslim' ads…..

The palin of a woman is sick.

Obama wasn't even born or only a baby when Palin accuses him of a terriorist connection with Ayers. The Republicans are nothing but lies and more lies. Palin is nothing but a road wh- – -e who hides from the new media because she doesn't know her a– from a whole in the ground. She is so out of touch, as is her running mate, with America today. Of all the brilliant Republicans McCain could have chosen and he stooped so low as to choose her. She is a joke. Everybody is laughing. She was hilarious at the debate. She definitely is not presidential "material". Obama will be the winner in this race and all the lies Palin and McCain can cook up will not make one iota of difference. (signed) Josephine Six-Pack, Oh gosh darn it.

OBAMA 'O8!!!!!!!!!!!!

SEN OBAMA, JUST CONTINUE TO STAY THE HIGH ROAD. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO GAIN BY STOOPING TO THE DIRTY LEVELS THE MC CAIN CAMPAIGN AS WAGED AGAINST YOU.
YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!! YES WE WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow this Mcain-Palin ticket is so pathedic! This is a new low for them! Maybe they should spend sometime explaining how they are going to fix the issues our country faces… o wait they dont have a clue how!!

It's getting desperate for the GOP….Almost time to end the suffering

This is one of the most disgusting things I have ever witnessed. Truly despicable and coming from a party that simply does not care any longer about ethics or morals. I wouldn't even be able to shake hands with a moron like her for fear of getting a kind of dirt on me I could never wash off.

This is lying at it's best! I will never vote for a Republican! Can they come up with a plan for anything?

I find this latest low level tactics by the McCain/Palin ticket to be unamerican and quite frankly desperate. It is in my opinion that as an american, I would not want these two candidates to represent me as my leaders. Both McCain/Palin are disgrace to ole glory and I would venture to say as I was taught by my parents, "If you don't have anything nice to say about another person, then keep your opinions to yourself."

Pretty gross on Palin's part to make an accusation of this magnitude. Especially considering that she doesn't seem to understand the strength of her own ignorance.

Those are extremely inflammatory, uncalled-for remarks. John McCain and Sarah Palin have gone to a new extreme low by projecting these baseless attacks. McCain is just trying to divert our attention away from his unrealistic economic plan by using these low-road tactics. At this rate, Obama will win the presidential election by a landslide.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. McCain/Palin are victims of their own reality; stuck in the unenviable position of advocating for the war in Iraq while the American economy teeters on the brink of collapse. The Bush administration shifted from pro-conservative to socialist/fascist almost overnight leaving McCain/Palin to preach "maverick" idealism without articulating a clear or compelling message to differentiate from the leadership of the status quo.

Expect to see more of the same metaphorical "Obama Voodoo Dolls" being dressed up with turbins, dangled in the spotlight and stuck with verbal needles by the McCain/Palin (Geppetto/Pinocchio) team in a futile effort to divert attention from their flawed, fragile and beleagured campaign for the presidency of the United States.

McCain/Palin are showing just why we don't want them to take office. Since they are slipping in the pols they do what Republicans do best. LIES!! We've had 8 years of lies and no solutions. NO MORE! Why is it that as a country we have to stoop to this level. Hopefully, people won't fall for the line of baloney this time around. Shame on you McCain/Palin you've sunk to a new time low. Please Obama, keep to your guns and stick to the issue's. You've got my vote!

This from a woman whose husband supports a group that wants Alaska to be it's own country and break away from the United States anymore.

This woman scared the bejesus out of anyone with enough sense to try, just TRY to imagine her as President!

YIKES!!!!

This isn't politics Palin/McCain – this is smearing and swift boating. I'm still trying to figure out why I once supported McCain. What did I actually see in him?

I guess when your delema is that your falling way behind in polls,you pull out of a battleground state and start fling poo from trees.

I guess the N.Y. Times is one of the papers she reads or someone reads for her that she couldn`t name when katie Couric asked her
what papers she read

She has ruined his campaign. This is just going way too far. I just can't vote for this ticket in good conscience. I mean this woman would be a heartbeat from the Oval Office. That is just scaring me. I like McCain, but she is too radical for me.

You know it is a disgrace that as great as we claim that we are as a country, we even give idiots like Sarah Palin a platform to demonstrate her ignorance and stupity.

I am not running for VP and I know a lot more about issues facing this country both domestically and internationally.

AMERICA, WAKE UP. DON'T BE FOOLED 3 TIMES by this wacko right wingers.

You've got to me kidding me. Obama was a child at the time Ayers involved in the weatherman…and oh, by the way…he wasn't even convicted of a crime.

Sarah Palin: Doesn't know what the bush doctrine is, can't recall what she reads on a daily basis, doesn't remember which supreme court cases she disagrees with, can't recall which specific times McCain fought for regulation of the financial industry, said she would 'absolutely' go across pakistans border to hit the terrorists…

Did I forget to mention she's already under ethics investiagtion?

Is it just me or is the entire McCain compaign based on trying to scare voters with half truths and outright lies?

Do they actually have any solutions to share with the american people?

Maybe it's time to suspend the compaign again.

She's absolutely right. Wake up, moderates, and take a very close look at Obama's friends and his voting record in the U.S. Senate. To say that he is extremely liberal is a gross understatement.

Not this time republicans, we aren't as stupid as you think Mccain campaign!

This just goes to show how reckless and irresponsible Sarah Palin truly is. She was probably reading from a couple of 3×5 cards when she spoke, anyway. All she does is parrot John McCain; even when she does have an original thought, she sticks her foot in it. If she is going to shamelessly hurl accusations about something that happened years ago, then maybe half of America still loves their ex-spouses, or secretly wants to go back to work for ex-bosses, or seek out ex-lovers from years ago. Using her logic, if you once supported something, or even hinted at supporting something, then you must always support whatever that something is. I wonder how that goes for her Trooper-Gate controversy?

I am 67 years old and for the first time I have voted for a democrat.
Just tell Obama that it's in the mail. Change is needed. Don't let McCain and his hockey mom running mate stop you from telling the American people what you will do for them. I lived in Arizona for 30 years and don't know what McCain has done that I should vote for him. Oh, yes he and Bush got us into a war that we shouldn't be in.
PS my husband voted for you as well. score 2 to zero.

This woman is pathetic. Isn't the time the Obama campaign starts going after her? We all know she will start whining sexism. This stupid woman, who can't mention the newspapers and magazines she reads or the Supreme Court decisions she has disagreed with is ill-qualified even to be a small town mayor.

McCain and Tucker Bounds = Bush and Karl Rove. No substance, no ethics, pure liars. We've had enough. Us independents are smarter than you give us credit for, Mr. McCain and Mrs. Palen.

Vote Obama-Biden for a better tomorrow.

GOP desperation, this people are sick.

Do ya really want to go back that far friends of Charles Keating? Besides Barack Obama was not even walking yet in the mid 60s. McShame was an adult when he did his thing for Keating.

This is so disgusting and even reason more why the McCain-Palin ticket is unworthy of my vote. I would much prefer Palin tried to do a little more research on the economy and what she could substantively bring to the White House than smear and lies. The ONE TIME she picks up a newspaper…it's not to find out what's happening in the financial world but gossip! Pathetic!
I'm going to take a page from Hillary……….Shame on you Palin!

You have to excuse my typing faults. Who would ever believe I could type 60 word a minute, 50 yrs ago.. But my Eyesight is not what it used to be… This message is to anyother Bloggers. I suppose,

Sen. Barack Obama was a young boy – just 8 years old – when Ayers was conducting his horrible activities. Obama is not a terrorist, and he can NEVER be held responsible for the actions of Ayers. Everyone knows that Barack has condemned Ayers' actions.

LMAO!! So sad old man and incoherent Barbie, won't work this time. People are SICK OF ALL THE NEGATIVITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to say I'm surprised at Palin saying this crap but I'm not. She just solidified her credentials as a GOP campaigner: When you can't win on the issues throw garbage.

Senator McCain, you are the father of the Republican Party with a great personality. Please, Sen. McCain, do not involve in a dirty politic like that. It is not good for the country right now. This country needs good examples and strong leadership not dirty craps.
Mr.McCain, let me give you an advice" Napoleon Bonaparte remains One of the greatest military leaders in France history even if he was defeated by a small Haitians military army in 1803. Heroes stay Heroes even if they lost a war."

Not surprising at all. This election is not close and McCain knows it. These types of attacks are desperate attempts from a desperate campain. What Mccain needs to do is begin protecting his legacy. He is a great American and I'm sure he does not want to be remembered as a low down dirty politician. His campain is moving in that direction. Sad, so sad…….

Isnt it just like Obama after the fact that he isnt friends with him..Just like quitting the church after 20 years of being a member. Like a little kid catch throwing a snowball…."I only threw one!" hahaha

The fact that Palin's version of Christianity apparently doesn't want people to work in charitable organizations, if one of the members did something despicable 4 decades ago should speak for itself. Shut up Sarah.

You know your campaign is over if you have to resolve to kitchen sink tactics like Clinton did against Obama. Obama had to endure vile attacks throughout spring so he will have no problem holding his ground for a month.

McCain and Palin are hearing the fat lady in the background getting louder.

Continue with you negative comments Palin you will not be the next VP or president or I will move to Rome!!! Our country deserves more than an average Joe or a Hockey Mom!!! So go govern Alaska for you have nothing in common with me or the views of real Americans. Drop Out Go Home So McCain can choose a real VP pick. You have Blown his chances for becoming the next President and he has you to Thank. Maybe he should've chose Lady De Rothschild or Campbell Brown. Anyone that has a common sense and deals with Real Issues.

It is time to SEND PALIN back to Alaska to MOOSE hunt….and hopefully SHE is charged with corruption for wrongful firing a State employee for "personnal" reasons!!!!

Is this woman nuts?????????????

This is all they have left, and independents aren't going to appreciate these kind of lies and distortions on Obama's character.

Let's see, McCain has no plan for the economy, no plan to get out of spending billions in Iraq, he'll deregulate healthcare as he did the banking system, and picked a Tina Fey look alike as his running mate, ok, I get it, time to Switft-boat.

Palin? Thanks, but no thanks.
She is so full of it!!!

Well here we go again, more of the same Republican tactics, focus on personal attacks and negative ads instead of what they are going to do for the country. Why can the Republicans not focus on the real issues that affect real people? Because they dont have answers, they just have fear of losing the white house, and they will resort to whatever tactics they have to, even Karl Roves swift boat tactics. I hope this backfires on McSame. I'm so tired of this divisivness, the so called "your either with us or against us" mentality. Its becoming more and more obvious that Obama/Biden is the ticket for change, and McCain/Palin is just more of the same.

What a stupid, idiotic thing to say!! Could she possibly think that anyone will believe her B.S.?? Keep it up Sarah and we'll be glad to send you back to the moose of Alaska. YOU ARE A JOKE! DON'T TRY TO LOOK LIKE SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT…INTELLIGENT!!!!

Palin needs to remove the word Christian from anything to do with her. Being Christian has to do with telling the truth and being kind, good, etc. I noticed the Bible wasn't something she could list as something she reads.

Stop hiding behind a label that doesn't fit you Sarah. You are a total mean spirited phony woman.

You know, interesting that Palin would say this, considering the fact that her husband belonged to a group that advocated the succession of Alaska from the United States–(treason?). I suppose if we go through everyone's friendships we will find people that society would not find appropriate. How is that in anyway indicative of the issues to become President. I have noticed that Gov. Palin likes to give jabs, like where she criticized Couric. I think most people who have watched that interview (Republican and Democrats alike) understand that it wasn't Couric that was reckless or unprofessional. I suppose one of the best ways to deflect attention is to try to direct it to others…..

OK. Palin we don't care about these issues. We care about health care and jobs. McCain doesn't have any plans for the economy and his health care plans is outrageous. McCain wants to give tax break to Oprah and company who don't need it. Sarah Palin you are likable but slightly annoying. You are pushing your luck. The last time Americans voted on likability they ended up with George Bush. We don't care about slander. We are afraid of more of the same.
Why don't you suggest that McCain put his houses and cars on EBAY? That will be a sign of change.

This is what we call a desperate statement. An unqualified woman to be president of this country is accusing Obama of terrorism. Shame on McCain!!!

What a pity! what a disgrace! McCain/Palin are falling back in the state polls. They are resulting now to desperate smear attacks to win. The american people deserve to hear about the solutions to fix the U.S. economy. Look who is talking? Sarah Palin is under ethical investigation in Alaska. If she has nothing to hide, she should think about anwering questions in the troopergate investigation in Alaska; not cite executive priviledges.

idiots, i am so glad that mccain and palin are such idiots. it will be that much easier to defeat them in a few weeks.

WHO READ THE STORY TO HER????
I THOUGHT SHE WAS ILLITERATE!!??? YOU KNOW, "WE HOCKEY MOMS AIN'T GOT TIME FOR NO READIN' AND RITIN'"
WHAT A BUFFOON!!

Blow that Swift Boat up before it reaches you Obama, and then McCain's chances of getting into the White House will go down with it!

Let's see, Sarah Palin's HUSBAND belongs to a secessionist political party, but somehow Obama being an ACQUAINTANCE of Ayers is worse?

Nice try. Not a credible threat.

Todd Palin is a terrorist! (see how it sounds?)

So Sarah is a pit bull with lipstick, on the attack. Then she probably doesn't mind if those attacked fight back. If Obama really did cavort with radicals, can we say that Palin is cavorting with idiots? Can she argue that simply knowing someone is the same as adopting their ideas? If so, she is forever aligned with the radical right — regardless of her own thoughts and actions. Perhaps this is "palienation" — the separation of Palin and her supporters from reality.

Sarah Palin should choose her attacks wisely. One word: troopergare

Anyone who has been reading plitical news on line is well aware of this false accusation in the way that the McCain camp is implying.

First off, William Ayers was never convicted of any of the things Palin cited.

Secondly he is currently a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago with two master degrees in early education and one doctorate degree in education.

How is Obama connected to something that occured when he was six years old and living in Hawaii. The guy held one fund raiser, I could see if Ayers was on Obama's campaign, you know like McCain having all those lobbyists on his.

This has been hashed and rehashed. It is a non-issue, but the Republicans know that fear works. Fear distracts.

But, please Mrs. Palin, please tell us about your ideas of moving forward.

Palin is simply pathetic. She does not have substance and has gone to the extreme. Surprising to see that many in GOP could not see the emptiness in her talk.

Two wars a faltering economy and this is what McCain/Palin want to talk about with voters. Really?

Lets talk about Pailin's husband who was a member of a group that wants Alaska to seceed from the United States. And if her husband has these beliefs then what will Pailin do in the Whitehouse. And no she wasn't 8 when they got married. And no they have more then a flimsey I've been in his house once and on a board with the person relationship.

It's the same old thing with the McPalin ticket……they are down in the polls dues to incompetence and lack of leadership skills….so here they go again putting out negative adds.
We are SO OVER this crap…..where are their solutions to solve this countries problems…..financial, corruption, end the war, jobs, better wages, equal wages for women etc etc!!!!!!
Just what does John McCain offer…..nothing, same old talking points….I suspended my campaign, I can fix it, I can win wars, I know how to do it and the list goes on!!!!!
When you have no plans of your own all you have left is negativity…..and boy does he thrive on that…..MR CLEAN CAMPAIGN, MR COUNTRY FIRST, MR REFORMER…….all nice slogans John McCain likes to give himself and not ONE of them true.
I don't know how he has the nerve to think of himself as honorable, because he is far from that……time for John McMaverick and Sarah ….I'll get back to ya" Palin to just go home!!!!!
Elvis left the building years ago and it's now time for the both of them to follow suit!!!

This woman aggravates me more than any other politician. She is incredibly cocky and yet she is incredibly unqualified. Her folksy persona is so disingenuous, anyone who falls for it is a total moron.

Keep talking Palan, your ignorance is showing

My favorite part about Pitpulls is that many only lash out when provoked. This latest attempt at lies is hilarious.

Some facts:

While the Bridge To Nowhere was never built, Palin took the money from American tax payers anyways, making her state responsible for more earmark money per person than any other state in the USA.

Palin's Inauguration as the governor of Alaska was sponsored by BP the oil company.

Palin fired a statetrooper who she didn't want on the force because he divorced her sister.

Palin tried to ban books and when the librarian refused she fired her, the librarian was later hired under pressure from other political figures and local government.

Palin's husband works for Big Oil as a Field Operator for BP

Palin thinks that even woman who are raped should not be allowed to have abortions.

Palin constantly says that god is telling her what to do and that god hates the ideas of other people if they disagree with her

Just some food for thought

Obama/Biden 2008

MCcain+Palin = desperate & shameless.

will they interject race as their last resort if their ticket keeps slipping in the polls?

I wouldnt put it past them being that MCain has already sold his soul.

AMERICA ……………GET READY FOR SOME UGLY POLITICS OVER THE NEXT 30 DAYS

They are evil!

They know they will not win, so they are playing dirty!

Isn't it funny, they so religious yet these tactics they use are more inline with evil then good,

I guess they will be asking for a lot of forgiveness when all this is done! Probably in tongues too.

Boy, now this is desperation at it's best, Is ok to step up your attacks, but with LIES this is truely sad. Oh and who would take a canidate serious that send SHOUT OUTS like she was at a night club, not in a debate, call it folksy call it what ever I just call it a person who does not have a clue. I guess that picking a woman to to get the Hillary Clinton voters didn't work out for you huh, John. Maybe if you had picked a true knowledgeble, experienced woman instead of a Hockey MOM, maybe you would not be falling furthur and furtur behind in the polls. Hey John guess what Americans are not stupid.

I absolutely sincerely hope American people are brighter than this.

Again, desperate and absolutely low move by John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Well, angry and very annoyed but somewhat expected for these swift boating to happen.

People wake up plz. Don't be fooled by these failed and corrupted politics!

Go Obama/Biden 08′ & 12′

palin, is shameless….how dare she. her and husband, belonged to a group in AK. known for wanting to separate from the lower forty-eight….If that's belonging to a TERRORISTS GROUP. what's-up with that.

She's sick. I've met with Barack Obama. He is a good man who loves his family and America. Palin is worse than a joke, and anyone who believes she is qualified as VP is simply wrong. Folksy? Attacks like these aren't folksy. They are divisive and ignorant.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. But please Gov. Palin, you are in violation of the Word of God when you slander people. Also, I would like to remind you that we have all forgiven your daughter her violation against God. Or wait, does God forgive Republicans their sins and not Democrats or even anyone who more than thirty years ago committed a wrong and has since repented by his actions.

And which newspapers and magazines does Sarah Palin read?

ALL OF THEM…………..

Of cource once she realized that her debate staged performance has not worked in changing the polls, the only strategy remaining is tearing down Barack Obama's Character. No thoughts on any reasonable policy to attract voters.Pathetic . Obama/Biden 08!!!!

How dare she?! What a negative, negative woman. Why doesn't she focus on what she wants to do for the American people instead of trying to tear someone else down.

It is very sad that Sara is taking that low road to nowhere. It sad for the country

This attack by Palin is despicable. However, this tactic got George Bush elected and has resulted in the worst presidency and the worst economy in a very long time. If America wants a repeat, Palin and Vinegar Daddy John are your candidates.

Everyone who has half a brain already know that this kind of nasty tactic of McCain-Palin is a FALSEHOOD and has been debunked many times. But I guess if one has an evil heart, if one is unqualified to be VP and president, and whose campaign is in the toilet; then I guess it's the only thing one can try to dig up.

This evil and unqualified ticket – McCain-Palin – is a disgrace and definitely the America people deserves better!

America we need to open our eyes.
This is just one more example of what Obama really is.

What does it take for peolpe to understand that Obama is Anti-American.

We havent seen his real face yet!

I think that this is a misscalcuation on the part of the McCain campaign. This sort of thing has been exhausted and the ignorent people who buy into stuff like this are a small and preconvinced minority. The manner in which the McCain campaign has been run and the people McCain has chosen to surround himself with are enough to send the majority of 'undecided independants' to the Obama ticket.

The American people need to know of obama's radical and terrorist connections, let the chips fall where they may. If he has nothin to hide why worry. But it is going to be brought out.

All I ever hear from her are jokes and insulting things aimed at Obama and Biden. She should concentrate on the scripts she's given to recite . Her comment about Obama and Mr. Ayers is old hat and not true. Obama/Biden are talking about the problems and solutions that effect this messed up country. My mama always told me not to point fingers cause your thumb is pointing back at you. Shame on you Palin, especially when you're supposed to be so religious.

This is truly pathetic, to see before our eyes the gradual decay of John McCain into a caricature. What a sad way to end what had been a good political career.

Sarah Palin keeps boasting to voters that she is a maverick, that she took on Big Oil in Alaska and stood up for what is right and that she will bring the change she brought in Alaska to the white house. From what I have seen about Sarah Palin in Alaska, she is all about continuing corruption and abuse of power in politics.

Sarah and Todd Palin have already shown their contempt for the rule of law by ignoring subpoenas. Sarah Palin as Governor has even been using a private e-mail account to shield government business from public scrutiny. We have all seen this pattern of behavior under President Bush and this will most certainly continue into the white house if McCain Palin are elected.

Say it ain't so Sarah.

This is coming from someone that is being investigated for ethics violations in her home state of Alaska. Also, based on her tax returns it looks like she could be under another investigation for tax evasion. No per diems have been reported as income.

Obama was 8 years old when those bombings occurred and the only reason he knows Ayres is because they both live in Chicago and were on the same board doing charity work. I am sure that in McCain's 72 years of being on this planet he has known folks with backgrounds that can be viewed as scrupulous. Especially all the time he spend in those casinos shoot craps. I notice that he did not include his gambling winning and /or losses in his tax returns. I believe that is a violation of our tax laws.

To my eternal chagrin, I donated money to John McCain's campaign in the primaries. He is incapable of running an honorable campaign and will do anything to win, no matter how dishonest. I am a Republican who thinks our ticket is a cause for shame.

People, we have never had a Candidate for National office not do an interview on CNN. Let's demand it or are we in North Korea or Cuba?

Palin as McShames attack dog; the worst from the McShame campaign is still in front of us. These losers have nothing to loose anymore, they are two laughing stocks already.
What is even more dangerous than a pitbull? A cornered pitbull.

Sarah Palin is a psychotic, ignorant clown and she's very dangerous for our country. It's a shame the way the McCain campaign has used her as a puppet to try and get the female vote. Sorry, it won't work. American women are way smarter than that. Sarah, shut your trap and go back to your igloo and stay there.

Obama/Biden '08

UMMMM I dnt thinl no one buying that this time, that was 40 years ago Obama was eight hahahhaha Please Palin go back to Alaska take Mclame with ya! OBAMA 08

Rats will attack anyone in sight when they are cornered. Palin has a lot of gall, when she is under investigation for abuse of power.

Sounds like she is exactly what she claims not to be…a Washington insider.

This is ridiculous! This witch is crazy! WAKE UP AMERICA! These the McCain camp doesn't put country first. They are all about fear mongering. They're desparate, they will do anything to win!

Sarah Palin pals around with someone who thinks the US is so imperfect that he joined an Alaskan Secessionist party. Sarah calls him "husband".

Once again, we see sleaze and misrepresentation coming from McCain and Palin. See the NYT debunking of this relationship. I guess the GOP is trying the old tactic of trying to throw as much mud as possible at their opponent in the hopes that something will stick.

I guess the country is about to see just how low the Republicans can go… they are proving themselves to be truly pathetic.

To suggest that Obama has terrorist ties is to in many ways suggest that he is a terrorist. This is a wreckless statement by the McCain campaign and completely out of line.

Please Mrs Palin, do you think the people are stupid enough to find your comments beliveable that Obama pals around with terrorists. what when he was 8? Please try and stay focused on the issues. It's the economy stupid!

I wish Falin and her lies would go away. I am so tired of hearing that nasally, high pitched, fast talking voice of hers.

The Republicans messed up the economy, they got us in 2 wars at one time. The AMERICAN DREAM of a house, a car and dog has been reduced to a cheap apartment, a real used car and a mix breed stray. It just aint right.

It shows you what Palin's level of reading comprehension is! It is apparent that she and her "running mate" do not look at issues objectively. And they are attracting the same kind of mentality as theirs!

I WOULD THINK MCCAIN AND PALEN WOULD BE THE LAST PERSONS TO ATTACK OBAMA'S CHARACTER WHEN CONSIDERING THEIR OWN PERSONAL LIVES. I THINK MICHELLE AND BARACK OBAMA ARE FAMILY ROLE MODELS.

What a slimeball of epic proportion Palin made. How low can the campaign goes???

and hah! I knew it! McCain campaign wanted to focus away from national issues and onto Obama's characters. Its may works in 2004 because of less severe issues that popped up during that time with Iraq War, Immigration, and Homeland Security. But this time, the stakes are extremely and emotionally high, we can't risk ourselves to go through the same slimeball attacks of 2004. We are too educated and too aware about what been going on this time and we can seek out truth and lies from both campaign.

So far, Obama/Biden seems to be the best candidates for focusing on issues AND attacking on lies and policies from McCain/Palin rather than just attacking their characters AND better judgments on how to handle the crisis in America. McCain gonna sink with his borrowed strategy of 2004, it won't work on us this time!

WE CAN, YES WE CAN TAKE AMERICA BACK

Obama/Biden for '08

VERY DISGUSTING that she would open her mouth and utter such hatred!!!!!! LOL for condeming Barack for the actions that someone was arrested for and charges dropped some 40 years ago when Barack was 8 years old. What a joke!

Sad that she is just a regular street walker for the McCain camp!!!! God have mercy on you!

Desperation on the part of the McCain campaign is very apparent. Resorting to the same people and tactics that sunk his 2000 campaign is the last act of a failed campaign. It's sad, really. I guess his stated desire to be President no matter what, even if it requires constantly lying, will be his legacy.

Pretty sleazy McCain……pretty sleazy.

more of the same. Fear and hate got Bush 8 years is that all the GOP
has to offer the country. What about jobs ,health care Tax breaks
GIVE ME A BREAK

VOTE FOR THE CHANGE WE ALL NEED
OBAMA 08

It's great that she has no conscience about lying. She'll need that if she wants to be the next Dick Cheney.

Even if Obama met him a handful of times, it is not fair to call Ayers a "terrorist". Terrorist is a term reserved for Muslim extremist and used by the McCain campaign to incite fear in the electorate. It is insulting and ridiculous to call Ayers a terrorist for federal bombings 40 years ago. What he did was dispicable, but it was another time and it occured when Obama was in grade school.

I thought McCain was going to change politics and be a bi-partisan President. …Not with these frivolous attacks….

Sarah Palin has NO qualifications for her position and is too ignorant to know how dangerous she really is. She terrifies me as she attacks on trumped up charges because she has no substance to her own position.

BREAKING NEWS;

John MCcain is giving up on his campaign, and endorsing Karl Rove.

gabbage, they are now bottom feeding, not this time, NOT this time!!!
