"In fact, too often you're the problem so, government, you know, you're not always the solution."–Sarah

Funny how government was the solution for Wall Street. When they need the government, all of a sudden the taxpayers are their best friend.

Obama/Biden 08

He's a lose cannon and Your comment is awaiting moderation.
I swear to God I've been saying to anyone that will listen, that Sarah's ambition has always been to be famous. She's using politics as a "happened upon" vehicle. Her ignorance about foreign policy and national government has become painfully obvious!
Let's vote country first and send her back to local politics.

Obama is ridiculous. Has anyone paid attention to what this guy has been saying?

Example 1- In the debates, he said if Pakistan was unwilling to help us hunt down terrorists in Pakistan or if they were unwilling to let us into Pakistan, then he would send planes in and bomb those areas where terrorists were located. This is completely stupid. Pakistan has already shot at helicopters which have crossed Pakistani borders, how do you think they will react if we start bombing in their country? He also says he will cut off funding to their government if we don't help. Wow, also stupid. The Pakistani government is about our only friends in Pakistan. If they lose our funding, extremists will try to take over the government and will probably successfully do so. No need to worry about Iran at that point because we will have a more immediate threat with Pakistan since they ALREADY HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS. Wow, intelligent call Obama. Let's try to start a war with another nation in the Middle East. This is the philsophy of "help us or we will do what we want in your country." This sounds like Bush. That's why Obama deserves the Darwin award this year for the dumbest political statement of the race.

Example 2- Anyone who received a stimulus check this year will say, yeah, more money was nice, so Obama's tax cuts are nice. But did the stimulus checks help change the economy? No, not at all. So how is it that Obama's tax cuts are going to help? We need tax cuts for corporations and businesses. Attach conditions to those tax cuts. Make it so that corporations who create jobs within the U.S. will get those tax cuts. We have the 2nd highest corporate tax rate in the world. How is THAT going to create jobs? Yet Obama plays it like we are just giving money to the rich. If a corporation has a higher profitability range, meaning less expenses (less taxes), then they will be able to grow, create more jobs, cut prices. Reward such activities with tax cuts. Hello? THAT IS HOW YOU CREATE JOBS. If you don't have a job, who is going to care about a tax cut? Why are people so blinded by this?

Please wake up. This isn't about political parties. Both have failed us. If this race were the perfect race, the 2 candidates running would be Clinton and Giulani, but we don't have that, so be smart, look at the issues and vote for McCain. Think about it. If you have a major corporation, they don't make someone a CEO only after 2 years of management experience. Now compare this to America, we need someone not only with experience, but a better plan than just tax cuts for all of us. Like I said, tax cuts will not help if we don't have jobs, and you create jobs with both seeking more energy sources and cutting taxes on businesses.

ERRATIC and Pitiful Old Warmonger Goofy

UNSTABLE and Dumb Dopey

please add to the list as a description of the two biggest liars in the campaign, as a matter of fact: they can't even back up their lies, please keep the list growing......

I'm listening to Obama right now in NC taking it to the lunacy of McCain and how out of touch he is. What in the world was McCain's campaign thinking when they said they were going to turn the page on the economy? Please! He and his soul mate want to talk about William Ayers? Here's the terrorism, what George Bush, John McCain and their party have done to our economy over the last eight years. Economic terrorists? That's the McCain/Palen ticket, not because they intend to but because they don't know any better. Let's turn the page on them November 4.

Allan....You must want to live in poverty.
Thats what you will get with McCain/Palin....Their both idiots who dont have a clue

Sarah Palin should explain her husband's unpatriotic, secessionist views before she "casts the first stone" at Barack Obama.

If the shoe fits...

What next the karl rovian will do is to forge a tape of binladen that say hes gona attack the united states of all or something.. soo people gona be thinking about security and stop focusing on the main issue. the tryiung to do the same as 2004 kerry and Dog bush...

No question about it. McCain and Palin mean to give George Bush that third term. Since neither one of them has a clue, and since McCain has long supported the ploicies that gave us the financial mess we are in, they do what Repbublcans always to in their hour of need. Lie big and try to make it sound like a moral oblication.

Let's see now. Erratic McCain crashed four airplanes before crashing in combat in North Vietnam. Neither candidate has ever sailed a ship to my knowledge, but over the past two weeks Obama has shown himself to be more steady in these economic storms. We can't afford to entrust the nation to someone with McCain's kind of experience. He's too much of a risk taker.

Bat-242,
At least Obama is not like Palin, married to some one who hates America and want to get out of union with the rest of the states...

Caribou Barbie and Mr. Grumpy Pants are getting desperate.

I was amused at Mc Cains comments about Sarahs debate! He just kept 'heh,hehing ' like an old codger that he is. Altho I think she did a fair job I shudder to think of her as a President of U,S. She definitely has her eye on the white house!

You people are very pathetic.
I feel sorry for BARACK OBAMA.
He will never be able to live up to the expectations that the populace seems to hold him to.
He is only human.
A human on the threshold of inheriting STAGGERING problems in this country that our Government is cluelessly muddling through to solve.
That was painfully obvious these last couple of weeks.

Call me cautious, pessismistic, realistic, racist, or whatever you like.

The truth is, he only has until January 20th, 2009 to put the blame on Bush.

He is running for office knowing what he will be faced with. He still wants to do it, and will likely win on his promise to fix it.

I think he could soon become the unluckiest man on the face of the Earth.

But, after January, no more Bush blame; the problem is his.

For now, Bush/Republican haters, each your hearts out!

Doesn't anyone recall the reason that Bin Laden attacked the US was to bring us down economically??

Obviously, he couldn't do it by brute, military force but he could do it by fear and by taunting a stupid ill-equipped cowboy president into waging war in the Middle East.

Does anyone think Maverick McCain is any smarter than Bush? more diplomatic? less militaristic? If anything, McCain is far worse and even scarier - certainly more erratic and more cognitively impaired.

And, Palin makes that ticket even more frightening since she is even too stupid to know that she's not qualified. Her mindless blind ambition for power and her obvious belief in Armagaeddon scares the bejesus out of anyone with a brain.

Ever notice the bailout amount essentially matches the Iraq war deficit?

Come on people - Obama/Biden is not the risk in this election - they're our only hope.

If you want to discuss the economy, you should see the special on Fox that is put out by the people of the Wall Street Journal. This will explain how the Republicans in 2005 including John McCain tried to get a bill out urging oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Max but was killed by Chris Dodd and Barney Frank. This may have been on Fox but the people of the Wall Street Journal are not in the pocket of anyone. They basically laid this whole problem on the democratic congress pushing to put low income or no income people in homes they could not afford, thereby getting money for their campaigns. As the Wall Street Journal said the question was not if the democratic congress controlled Wall Street but rather Wall Street was running the democratic congress. A vote for democrats is more of the same. How can obama propose a trillion plus programs and claim to cut taxes by cutting the Bush Tax Cuts and taxing the upper 5 percent of American Tax Payers. His math does not add up, these cuts and taxes on only the richest cannot come near this trillion dollar spending plan. Use your head and ignore the "change we can believe in". It is all just words but these words coupled with a democratic congress and a democratic president will spell doom for American Taxpayers and America as well.

I really don't think Obama should be going there on the economy. He is lock step with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Harold Raines and the like who with their predatory lending practices have put us where we are now (I will say they tried to make it out as good intentioned, they where helping the disadvantaged by giving them loans they couldn't afford which unfortunately meant in the long run they would loose their house). He can try and link it back to Bush but the fact of the matter is the Bush Admin. tried to push for more oversight on those groups in 2003, 2005, and 2006. I think the truth will be coming out soon but I'm afraid McCain's biggest weakness is his desire to do his job and not play the blame game – laying the responsibility for this fiasco where it really lies. Oh, by the way Obama (in his short time in the Senate) is number two in receiving funds from these groups – he has accepted about 5 times the amount of money McCain has in his entire time in the Senate.

mccain is a moron and sarah is plain stupid. obama is our next president

McCain was one of the Cheating Keating Five.

Read more and get the word out that he lacks sufficient judgment.

McCain has been affiliated with banking scandals.

Google KEATING FIVE MCCAIN

No uppity Senators in the Oval Office.

I'm sick, that elections can be stolen, that a unseasoned candidate can run successfully, that no-one pays attention to history, that Obama will be President and will put us into a depression. I don't expect any Obama supporter to agree with me, they actually can't, because they just "don't know what they don't know." I know that it is easier to believe what you are being told, rather than taking the effort to read about the real circumstances of FDR's actions during the depression. Of course, you don't know how to get that information, so you will just grin and accept a political viewpoint instead of looking up the facts. Makes me so sad for this country and the young people who are creating a mess that they will not know how to get out of.

I know the Truth!

John McSame campaign chairman is a terrorist lobbyist!!!!!!

Todd Palin is a member of Alaska terrorist group!

now is palling with terrorist! – McSAME/PAIN-LIN

truth hurts but when McSAME/PAIN-LIN are running out of gas; they throw mud!

the repugs AND JOHN MCSAME are going DOOOOOOOOOOOOWN!!!!

PALIN IS THE PITBULL WITH LIPSTICK AND OBIDEN AND OBAMA ARE THE DOG CATHCHERS!!!!

GO OBAMA!

Barry will say anything to get elected. He is NOT principled, he IS shameless and dangerously LEFT on all of the issues. Think of George McGovern and Jimmy Carter on steroids. DANGEROUS.

The thought of McCain picking Sarah so that he can become president makes my blood boil. Anyone who would put this great country in the hands of what amounts to a 17 year old, is an idiot. I hope he pays dearly for that selfish decision.

I admire Republicans who are standing up against Sarah Palin, and putting their country before politics.

Obama/Biden 08

The polls are showing that the American People understands the much needed CHANGE that Obama’s ticket will bring to this country. His rival just attack and attack Obama because he doesn't have anything substantial to say! At the VP debate Biden's rival also just attack and attack she didn't respond to questions; it was like she was doing a speech instead of a debate! She says what comes to her head and disregards the subject at hand. Can you imagine how would any problem be resolved if they can even focus on the subject?

Obama wants to dialog with world leaders and find solution to our differences. His rival wants to spread more hatred!

Obama & Biden 2008!

Walnut Creek, California

This must be the first time either campaign has not immediately responded to a request for comment.

I would just like to have Palin answer questions – without the memorize lines and evading questions that apparently she doesn't know. She performed at the debate and I can't take that away from her! She performed and poor Joe was left standing their trying to get her to challenge him on issues and all she did was perform her memorize lines and let the world know she was changing the Dictionary term of debating and she managed to do so – right in front of the world. Wink! Wink! Spouting off political gibberish in front of the world without knowing what she was even speaking about was a disgrace. Sarah you can't gain an adequate understanding of history in a few weeks and articulate it to the public – didn't they tell you that...You can't change the debate rules... I know First Dude throught you guys where going to fool the world but you are not in the tiny town of Alaska – The world is watching... Tell Todd he can't advise you on the national level by sitting in on debates, interviews and being cc'd on emails so he can tell you how to respond. This is not American Idol didn't someone tell you that! Your performance was horrible at the debate. You are not in "candyland" this is America and it's real...........

Great props to Republicans who have become so disheartened by the disgusting tactics and shocking lack of real policy from McCain and Palin that they will be voting for Obama. You people will help to save your nation from the unmitigated disaster that another Republican administration would cause. I salute you all.

Hey Palin haw about the fact that you are sleeping with a radical separatist who wants to break up the country and destroy America.

Your relationship with Todd a know and documented radial separatist is well documented. That is not the America i believe in Sarah.

Mccain will provide us with about as much information on the issues as Palin provided us during her VP debate. That being next to nothing. I have a question referring to Maccain's judgement, why would you choose a running mate the has probably not even read the U.S. Constitution.

HOW DARE Sen Obama focus on the issues that Americans are concerned about! He is supposed to be digging up stuff on McCain and Palin and 'swiftboating" them right now as we speak. Hasn't he learned anything from the McCain/Palin ticket by now? You can really tell you have a rookie running for office here. Focusing on the issues INDEED!! What the heck is wrong with you Sen Obama?

McCain makes national decisions very impusively – by rolling the dice. When a crisis hits, McCain panics and starts offering ultimatums. I only see anger with his campaign. There is no leadership qualities with McCain.

BO, thank you for continuing to try to focus this election on issues that matter to all of us.

McCain and Palin continue to spout lies, smears and misrepresentations in an effort to prevent the American voting public from realizing that they have NO good answers for the challenges that we face.

No Way, No How, No McCain/Palin

and to #24...Democrats Trust McCain, you are the type of person who shouldn't be allowed to vote. You take as fact the lies that McCain and Palin feed you, no matter how much those lies are factchecked and found to be erroneous. Get a clue, please.

I swear to God I've been saying to anyone that will listen, that Sarah's ambition has always been to be famous. She's using politics as a "happened upon" vehicle. Her ignorance about foreign policy and national government has become painfully obvious!
Let's vote country first and send her back to local politics.

Didn't John McCain say that he wasn't going to run a negative campaign? If he can't keep a campaign promise that basic, then how in the world can he be trusted to keep any other campaign promise that he makes? These attacks on Obama just make him seem more like the bully that he really is.

Me, my vote is going for the guy with 1 car, 1 house, 1 wife and a plan to get us out of the economic mess that we're in.

Gov. Palin. Let us check into your background. You know that you did get your brother-in-law fired. You know you had the women that were raped for their kits. Gov. Palin, you are an excellent parent and wife, an excellent VP you will not be. Lord please help us if The Mcverick can not continue his presidency then you will be the president. You can not scare us because this is a true Mverick......Will be Omaba.

Gov. Palin, you study journalism, why is you thinking process slow?

If you are pitbull with lipstick... I wish Sen. Biden got to your xxx.....if you are that tough you should be able to handle him.... HICKORY MOM

No Hillary = No Obama, Viv, Democrats Trust McCain and other PAID bloggers who are too ASHAMED to tell the truth about being REAL Republicans and acting as if they are Democrats or even thought of voting Democrat. FACT: Professional Republican PAID bloggers are facing pressure to produce quantity over quality with MORE LIES and TRICKS on blogs to pretend they are Democrats. We the voters are LOOKING toward the future, SO you can STOP with using Hillary to FOOL anyone but yourselves. Old trick……WON’T WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at the suppose to be candidates for the Republicans party, You have every RIGHT to lie about being a supporter of McCain/Palin ticket….

Obama/Biden 08

Fact Check: Would McCain's health plan leave people 'broke?'
The Verdict: Misleading. Obama cites one figure from a recent study. But the same study says the current average worker contribution for employer-provided family insurance coverage is $3,354 — less than McCain's tax credit. Another obama lie.

Here we go again lies and deceit from the McCain camp. I thought he was going to run a clean race! These republicans can't seem to tolerate anything that is good and right. Even Sara Pain only tolerates people born with genetic defects and live in the gray world. What a perfect world Sara lives in WOW! Vote for Obama.

I would love to turn the page on the economy, but I've got bills to pay.

McCain is a moron, and Barack will win in November.

Obama/Biden 08

To the first comment:
Making outrageous statements attacking Obama is not going to win over voters. Enjoy your sinking ship.

I keep seeing in the media that Obama benefits in the polls from the troubles in the economy - maybe, but I think that people start paying attention in October in every election cycle and this time around there is a clear difference. McCain/Palin often do not answer questions directly. McCain tries to turn every issue into an argument about the surge and Palin wants to let us know that she is from a state with oil under it. Obama/Biden have shown themselves to be thoughtful, hardworking and legitimate. Actually, I'm proud to be an American - when the chips are down, we're really not as stupid as Rarl Rove, Hannity (RNC), etc. would like to think we are.

obama will try to focus on anything except his connections to terrorists! he is stealing the election in ohio, by raiding homeless shelters, and using any fraudulent means he can to rig the election in his favor. obama fails to produce a valid birth certificate to the phila. pa court, instead the dnc is trying to have the case dismissed. he has a terrorist lawyer representing him in that case, famous for silencing critics of islam. we have domestic terrorist bernadine, and bill ayers, felon rezko, the columbia prof, who brought iran's president here, auchi, who worked for saddam hussein, rev. wright, louis farrakhan, and father phleger. with friends like this, i guess he would want to keep talking about the economy!

mccain=Kosovo Liberation Army

All the Palin (1) McCain (2) ticket seems able to do is smear, smear, smear. Obama a terrorist?? Please get the facts. Sarah is in charge, there, huh? She'll be watchin' for the bad guys to rear up their heads and she'll send the the dogsledders after them. (After she puts McCain to bed.)

Let's see, country in financial turmoil, war on 2 fronts, people can't afford health care nor send their kids to college, companies laying off people by the thousands and McCain/Palin have no idea or plan on what to do if they were in charge. They do have all kinds of plans on how to deceive and lie to the America people in order to distract anyone from considering Obama's well thought out plans of moving the country in a different direction. Feels like and smells like the same plans Bush/Cheney put on us.

John McCain is a typical bully. He's the guy who tries to build himself up by tearing others down - that is who he has been all his life.

John McCain = "Me, First"

And McCain claims convicted felon and terrorism advocate G. Gordon Liddy as his dear friend - Liddy, who is a fundraiser and contributor to McCain's own campaign. Liddy, of Watergate fame.

John McCain would rather tear this country down rather than lift the average American UP. He's in this for himself and to someday outrank his daddy and granddaddy.

McCain uses Palin as a parrot – that's why she's not really allowed to have interviews (look how awful she is at it)... as McCain says: "When I want your opinion, I'll give it to you."

Sarah Barracuda has an approval rating of 70%-the highest in the United States. Why?

Well, she sends checks to Alaska's citizens every year in amounts ranging from $3,000 to $ 20,000. Plus she has no state income tax and no sales tax.

What are you getting from your Governor?

Bush policies has Terrorized our Economic system: Listening to Palin and whatching the debate brought this to mind: Proverbs 6 12-14

A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

All of her winking, lying and discord has an end result for tht ticket.

Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. Proverbs 6:15

The McCain compaign and the Bush administration would like us to think everything is perfectly fine, but it is not!!!

Not all of us have the fortune to own 7 luxury homes, 13 cars and private jet like the McCain's!

No, if all of you would just buy the line that the Unstable/Unable team wants you to buy, you should not think about the last eight years, but only about the next four. If nothing else, McCain and Palin have demonstrated that they don't have a CLUE as to what to do in times of crisis. The next four years are going to be very difficult for all of us. I would rather have stable persons as President and Vice-President than to have a skittish old man and his twit of a running mate.

What will be the DRIVING FORCE of the ECONOMY is the question.

If POTUS and congress impose increased taxes and additional spending, then the Michigan and California scenarios will play out on the national/ global stage.
However, wildly popular these two governors of differing parties may be with their constituents, both, with their legislatures, have taxed and/or spent their states into an abyss of debt, unemployment and loss of business.

OBAMA WILL BE THE BEST PRESIDENT THAT AMERICA EVER HAD!
And then, we'll be finally proud of being AMERICANS!
Think about that before voting for PALLcheney

The polls are showing that the American People understands the much needed CHANGE that Obama’s ticket will bring to this country. His rival just attack and attack Obama because he doesn't have anything substantial to say! At the VP debate Biden's rival also just attack and attack she didn't respond to questions; it was like she was doing a speech instead of a debate! She says what comes to her head and disregards the subject at hand. Can you imagine how would any problem be resolved if they can even focus on the subject?

Obama wants to dialog with other countries leaders not to spread hate and war like his rival.

Why is is that women continue to reject any woman that comes close to the White House? So far they have rejected Geraldine Ferraro, Hillary Clinton and now Sarah Palin. Since these three have widely varying political views, it can't be a matter of politics. Rather it's the idea that women understand themselves–their capabilities and their emotions-and since they do understand this, they are very fearful of putting a woman in the White House. Until women get over themselves, we'll never have a woman in the White House.

To call Obama a terrorist sympathizer in a post 9/11 world is an ugly slander demeaning to the mudslinging politicians who create it and to the American public who must endure its stench.

This is the McCain and Palin change that they want to pursue.

Palin wants to change the Constitution of the United States to benefit her position as Vice President, which Bush and Cheney did, which is very, very scary.

McCain and Palin ticket is a very dangerous ticket and will be a plague to the U.S. if elected.

McCain is a disgrace in full definition – Al Queda for McCain '08, you betcha! The melt down of America's economy will continue in favor of McCain-just what Al Queda wishes to happen.

People of the United States for Obama '08.

Final Score: Obama 44 Keating 5

"Obama , Is A Terrorist Sympathizer ."

You, Are a Dumb Person.

At best, you are cowering in the face of a reductionist smear. More likely, you're just another cryptoracist trying to find the right way to say that you "won't vote for no darkie." Our country doesn't need you.

This ad is right on the money....literally. This is the type of stuff people care about now. People are HURTING financially and emotionally. And many are hurting physicially because of our dismal healthcare system. McCain/Palin JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!
And for Palin to go around the country spewing this filth, these lies about Obama and homegrown terrorists, is even lower than the lows they hit weeks ago. (Oh, and you GOPers... read CNN's FactCheck on this awful claim by Palin and company: FALSE!! FALSE!! FALSE!!)
Palin is strutting around like she won the VP debate and she's all America is talking about. Well, read the polls, sweetie. You LOST bigtime. And your ticket is losing bigtime. And most Americans are tuning you out.
Talk about the issues or get off the stage. Learn the answer the questions asked of you, not just what you want to talk about. Or get off the stage.
It's time for McCain to retire and for Palin to go back to Alaska.

You guys have to be brain washed.

This economic mess is the Democrats, pushing for loans with no down payments, and when the housing prices dropped, people walked away from the losses. This is Mack, and Schummer, and Liberal Finanical Brain Childs wanting socialistic banking.

The $3-$4 dollar gas price is also the Democrats. The Right tryed to get a energy plan 8 years ago, that the Left just caved to, as they had to. Drill Baby Drill is necessary. China, India, Pakistan, and these growing nations getting into the market tightened the supply, and the market started to buy up quantities to hedge price increases, and that drove it up more.

I'd love a green form of energy, but where is it. I live in Minnesota, and a efficient battery form of vehicle has not been offered to the market.

The volt is the first technology I might trust, and it will storm onto the market close to $40,000. The average American, including me can not afford that.

I watch and read a lot of news, and you are all misguided.

Wright...Ayers...Rezco...crack...Sinclair...

Say no to drugs!

McCain/Palin

As a Canadian watching this election from the outside, it is beyond my imagination how anyone could vote for the McCain/Palin ticket. It's very frightening to see that so many people still support the GOP...it's frightening here as well because our economy (Canada is the US' largest foreign supplier of energy, including oil, gas, uranium, and electric power.) is so tied to yours. I believe that Obama represents everything the US needs to get back on track domestically and internationally. I've been reading these posts for the last 2-3 weeks and it's refreshing to see so much support for Obama/Biden, and it's also funny to read the comments left by supporters of McCain. They lack substance, are not based on evidence and are out of touch with reality. Please vote for Obama in Nov, and we'll do our best to get Stephen Harper out of office too!

Want four more years of McSame. Don't vote for McBush!

TINA FEY FOR VICE PRESIDENT

As I see it this is the very reason why America is hemraging. The same people who voted for BUSH IT in the past two elections wants to finish the job by not only destroying AMERICA but the World. A vote for McCain/PALIN ticket is a front row seat to destruction of America. If anything ever happened to McCain [MAY GOD FORBID] can you honestly picture Palin as the PRESIDENT of The UNITED STATES of AMERICA. The debate she had with biden went well for her own standards as if she was cast as supporting role in a school play,but not ready for prime time. She rehearsed and rehearsed til she got it right to gratify the republican party. But sadly enough she or the republicans failed to address real issues such as economic plan what needs to be done NOW! In reality there is no rehearsel you don't get a second chance to rehearse.She will be meeting with world leaders and have to answer tough questions. Winking and looking pretty will only det you so far but not the WHITE HOUSE. Please exit stage left.

Well done. I, for one, plan to vote on the issues. A wink, smile or lie from Palin won't put any money in my pocket. Nor will it pay for my gas or pay for my mortgage. McCain must think we're idiots.

I KNOW CNN WON'T POST ME BUT HERE GOES.

OBAMA IS A LIAR. HE DID HIRE THE TERRORIST FOR HIS IL STATE SENATOR CAMPAIGN. PALIN TELL THE TRUTH. OBAMA ALSO MADE A PROFIT OF $860,000 FROM HIS DEALINGS WITH KNOW FELON REZKO.

To the person who pretends to be "Democrats trust McCain" and said " Obaman is A Terrorist Sympatizer". Please be proud of your party "Repubilcan" and say so.

October 5th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

You Obama Talk — BUSH,BUSH. Stop it. The same -BUSH. I love to see Bush 4 more years than 1 day of Obama.
-------------------------------
The above written by 'allan'. You SIR are either in denial, or just one of the few who benefit from the failed economic policies of the Republican REGIME. OR, you are just plain dumb, and possibly racist. You are probably just as ignorant as most Republicans. It's no wonder, because you all don't care about EDUCATION. Go read a book or something.

"Democrats Trust McCain – Obama , Is A Terrorist Sympathizer ."

Firstly, the majority of Democrats DO trust Obama and ARE voting for him, so I would get rid of the screen name if I were you. Oh wait, the Rebugs have ramped up the speed on their lies, so I guess it's befitting that you are using that name.

Secondly, it has been refuted over and over and over prior to today, and numerous times today, that Obama is NOT a terrorist sympathizer! Get-over-it!! At least get some new material that can be proven wrong!

Has the Republican party become nothing but people blindly believing lies if they're not spreading them around??

What a sad day for this country if those two con artists, McCain/Palin, get into office.

Obama talking about the mortgage mess is laughable. He is the 2nd biggest taker from Fannie Mae. He was also a community organizer for ACCORN he trained personnel that forced banks to lend money to people who couldn't afford it. Accorn is also the organization that has people in jail for voter fraud. They arrested 40 people last week. They use 'in your face tactics' to get you to vote Dem. The Dems had 20% of the profit from wall street going into the bail out bill. The Reps. had it removed. So Obama better look in the mirror if he is looking for someone to blame.

Republican desperation. This is coming from the people who'd elect the Saudis into the White House if they got a chance.

CNN POST THE TRUTH ABOUT OBAMA. HE DID HIRE THE TERRORIST FOR HIS IL CAMPAIGN AND HE DID NET $860,000 FROM KNOW FELON REZKO.

Sarah Palin is a moron! She has a sport journalism degree...How does this make her an energy expert???? I'm not taking anything away from sports journalist...I love football and hockey..There are alot of intelligent sports journalist...She is not one of them........ Her lack of knowledge on the issues and poor instincts are going to get America in trouble.... Who's the next Politican she is going to call a terrorist?? She has no ethics........

They can bring up Ayers, Wright, Osama, or any other unsavory characters they want. Obama/Biden will be the next President/Vice President of the United States of America, and no moose eating, flute toting, eye winking, witch hunting, abuse of power govenor of a state her husband would like to succeed from could do anything about it!

Steve- Lets see the Democrats, Frank's and Dobbs were the ones who wanted the oversite bill blocked in Congress, guess franks was a little in bed with one of their employees, ( now this is not just me saying you might want to look into that), Dobbs was worried about his money that they were giving him so he was against it, He is the #1 in the goverment getting money from Freddie and Fannie, Oh by the way Obama is #2 and he has only be in the senate for 2 years, he really know how to get the money guess that is how he got his house too from all I can read about it the Obama ABC, CBS , NBC and CNN news doesn't put anything like this out cause it would destory his campaing.

Next if you would take a look at how our goverment is setup you will find that congress controls the money Bush has nothing to do with it. And guess who controls congress, That lady from San Fran-sicko, never can remember her name gives me night mares.

Only in a Republican America is a black man who is a Harvard Educated Constitutional Scholar, with 8yrs as State Senator and 4 yrs as US Senator and member of the Foreign Relations Committe deemed never ready to lead yet a white evangelical ultra conservative woman, with 19 mos as Governor of Alaska and a Bachelor of Journalism considered ready on day one.

This morning as I read the Fact Check reports of Palin's lies I am amazed that people can support the same kind of tactics that brought us the mess we're in.

Wake up America. Get off the couch and locate the facts. They are not telling the truth about Obama and his proposals, and it is easy to prove.

palin and mccain are so out of touch with the american people on the economy they have know clue in how to fix it. All the they can do is tell lies and smear Obama because that is all they know, I am hoping the american people will not fall for it this time if they do than they deserve every bit what will be coming which will be worse than what we have now.

It's official. McCain has nothing to offer. He's pulled one too many stunts this election season. All he has left are long discredited smears that will do nothing but excite a right wing base.

McPalin and the lot of the RNC will LOSE badly this November like it or not. We are just waiting to make sure of that. Have a good day folks.

I don't understand why Obama doesn't have an even farther lead from McCain, given the state of the economy and the last 8 years under Bush!? This country still suffers from minor arrogance apparently. Vote Obama/Biden 08!

America has a corrupted government. This is the main problem.
I doubt Obama or McCain will be able to change anything.
Despite current unemployment levels, the government
increases a number of B and L visas every year allowing companies to replace Americans with foreign workers. The government gives tax brakes to companies that send their business overseas instead of punishing them with higher taxes. Neither Obama nor McCain is an answer.

NO NEED TO POST THE TRUTH ON THIS NETWORK. IF IT'S NEGATIVE OF OBAMA OR CNN IT WILL NOT GET POSTED.

McCain's campaign is in the tubes. There approach today oon Sunday news is "the worst",
Meet the Press were laughting at the Palin ticket-it is no longer the McCain ticket-she has taken over. Laughing-that is what the Nation is doing-laughing at McCain. Can't control his own VP!
We know the Republican's have lied the whole way through and no one believes anything they say.

I am so ashamed that I am a registered Republican who truly thought McCain would be a great leader. His first official choice...and he picked Sarah Palin. Unbelieveable. Had he made a good choice and chosen Mitt Romney, this election would be different. If he needed to choose a woman, Kay Bailey Hutchinson or Olympia Snowe would have been great choices as well. But no, he chose Sarah because he thought all the women would flock...or the men would...well, you know. Yes, she's perky, yes, she's cute...but to be a heartbeat away? I think not. As a working women, mother, wife of a military member, I am offended that he thought he could make this horrible choice and get us to all believe she would be great for us. I can't relate to her...I have always put my children first! I am yet another Republican voting for Obama/Biden.

WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHY AND JAIL THE SOB'S

How can Obama pal around with a terrorist when he was 8 yrs old? I tell you the Circur ticket is desperate as hell!

Look I dont like either one but I will make up my mind when I go to the poles and as for Palin go back to Alaska you were a nobody until Mcain picked you for a running mate bad choice. We dont need 4 more years of the Bush plan

Everyone knows where John McCain got his money, from family and from dumping one wife and marrying posthaste into a wealthy beer distributorship. His take from the head of a S&L, a person with whom McCain's wife and father had made a hefty real estate investment, and from whom he received gifts was deemed to be "poor judgment" by Congress. That little "mistake" resulted into his becoming a champion of honesty and ethics in government.
Too bad that he has reneged on ethics and honesty and is engaging in the Rovian tactics that caused him to lose out to George Bush in the last election. Maybe it is only Six-Pack Sarah and the 527s, but the fact is he picked Sarah Palin and he approves of the messages being broadcast even when the are speculative to the point of being devoid of truth. One has to forgive Sarah Palin for not knowing the difference in "palling around" and being a casual acquaintance. She makes George Bush/Dan Quayle look like intellectual giants.
She is out of her league and he is out of his head!

We need to stay on ISSUE # 1. You are on the right lane Mr. Obama just keep going. I'm struggling from groceries to bills and in my mind and heart I know you are the right choice for this time. Just keep going.

As mush as I LOVE to see a woman on the ticket unfortunatly there is no room for error this time. If it was 8 years ago I would have voted just cause. I can't affor it now and I don't think McCain is understanding the situation.

He voted 90% of the time with Bush and now he says Bush was wrong??? My father used to say: YOU CAN NOT TEACH AN OLD DOG A NEW TRICK! so what makes him think that I will believe that he will do a 180 on his policies??????

PLUS I don't think Gov. Palin was elected for what she can bring to the table but to attract my gender. Nice move but wrong time. Let's get my husband's job first (it was shiped to Philiping) and solve our debt then we can get all emotional and vote with our heart but this time I CHOSE TO VOTE WITH MY MIND.

That is why I'm going to vote for Obama/Biden ticket. No special interest, no washington ties, no corruption.

I respected his judgement when he rejected a 6 figures pay job in wall st. to just get paid a $12,000 a year to help out the community that lost their job. Now that is a REAL AMERICAN to me. Now that is PUTTING COUNTRY FIRST!!!

Black or White or Yellow or what ever floats your boat doesn't concern me at this time, he has the right ingridients to make this happen and get us out of the debt that we are soaked in.

Choose and vote wisely cause maybe this is THE LAST CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT.

God Bless,
Susan

palin's "average-ness" doesn't speak for or represent me any more than obama's multicultural heritage and upbringing does – both qualities that i espouse and embody. this election is more than what makes you feel good, it's about what direction this country is heading. and i do NOT want an "average" jose six-pack schmoe leading the way there. if that is what this country needs, i have a handful of rednecks wanting to be president waiting in line for you. i'm sure their "ordinariness" qualifies THEM to run the most powerful nation on earth. GIVE ME RATHER SOMEONE EXTRAORDINARY WHO CAN DO EXTRAORDINARY THINGS AND LEAD US ORDINARY PEOPLE THROUGH THESE EXTRAORDINARY TIMES. i know the value of humility, but being proud of profound stupidity and making a virtue of one's lack of basic knowledge of what this country is facing is an entirely different story.

mccain/palin = unstable/unable

Hi, where is my comment. You always reject them. i am not happy

Here's a simple math...

Obama = Intelligent
McCain = Brash

For those who don't know their vocabulary, according to the dictionary:

Intelligence= A: having or indicating a high or satisfactory degree of intelligence and mental capacity B: revealing or reflecting good judgment or sound thought

Brash= A: heedless of the consequences: B: done in haste without regard for consequences

That's the math on why Obama/Biden is the way to go.

Can someone tell me why is it that the McCain camp is not aware that there are issues facing America? I am fed up with the total disrespect of Americas furture by this camp, and to think about it I am an indepentant voter the choice is clear as of today. Obama/Biden 08

Palin and McCain are obviously desperate and they should be. Obama will be the next president and Palin can go home ...thank God.

It's the "ECONOMY STUPID" and when will John and Sarah learn this?

John McCain has said repeatably that he doesn't understand the economic issues and then blindly supports the Bush economic agenda well, HERE WE ARE TODAY, are you happy?

A vote for the lying duo of John and Sarah will continue with the economic greed for the rich – that is John's plan.

Obama is honest. He can only lead us into the right direction. I have a real bad feeling about McCain.

That's right, Obama, stick to the issues.
Who cares about character, judgement, or leadership?

Come on OBAMA quit evading the Palin statement. What she stated to the news media day before yesterday is the truth. Although your network CNN and other media networks have tried to color coat it. You did not only work on committees with American Hippie Terrorist who was responsible for several deaths in car explosions and such. Then you hired him for your IL State Senator Campaign committee. Then there's your dealing s with the FELON, REZKO for a net profit to you for $860,000. YOU CLAIM TO BE A MAN OF CHANGE. MAKE THAT CHANGE AND TELL YOUR PEOPLE THE TRUTH.

Landslide win for Barack & Joe! Way to go Barack! Way to go Joe!

No Way! No How! No McCain/Palin!

Kel Turning VA Blue- I think in 2004 I was reading the same thing about Kerry or ever what his name was (being a vietnam vet we call him something totally different than the rest of the world and they would delete it on here) And if I remember right he is not in the white house right now, at least I don't think he is, although sometimes the one in there right now is way too much like Kerry for me. And then you want to put one in that is 10 times worse, the chosen one Obama, no thanks maybe you can use him to run you local ACORN or something he can damage to many people if he screws up. Keep him America does not want him, although I the Germany's really liked him maybe we could send him there, no they would send him back when they learned what he is reall like.

Move over Sara, don't let the Truth hit you in the arse on the way out!

McCain is as much George Bush as Obama is Muslim.

There is nothing worse or scarier than liar who tries to inspire hatred and fear does it with a wink and a smile. That to me is the epitome of a terrorist.

No Way, No How, No Palin/McCain!

McCain is a total joke. Grumpy old man spewing nothing but hate and vitriol. And, of course, most of his claim are outright lies.

Just like a desperate Republican – bringing up the past!

Obama/Biden is what this country needs to get back on track – economically and politically!

America, come November 4th, make the right choice. Vote for REAL change. Notice that the theme of the McPalin camp changes just about every week. NOTHING will work. This election is over.

O'Biden 08!!!!

This is a difficult choice. Let me see. Bush/Mc Cain steal our children's properity for the next 20 years or a candidate with ties to "domestic terrorism". At least the Weatherman were cognizant of Washington's corruption and actually tried to change it. I'll go with Obama.

I hear a lot of finger pointing coming from both sides on this issue.Economys,are like a rollercoster, they go up and then they make a correction and added in with American greed this is what happens. Every President from the mid-70s and every American is to blame for the mess that all are going through now.Obama and McCain claim to have a plan? Well,lets here what it is! Obama,does nothing but talk about the things that need to change but never offers a plan? You need a plan and a stratigey first!The days of America are over...Just look around, look at your people, they are uneducated have no idea about the world around them and behave like politics is nothing more than one big sports event. America, is reaping its reward for greedy capitalist ideas and a so called democracy that is worthless! In my oppinion McCain comes closer to understanding the world than the young nieve Obama that has done nothing more than some petty community orginizing?? You Americans are fools...Fools that are falling apart cracking at the seems. Start saving some money instead of over spending just to keep up with the guy next door!

republicans have no argument left
our country is in shambles and all Mccain & Palin can do it is stoop to rumors and lies.

How High School.

Please. Let the adults get to work here and let's have an election already!

How much more do we have to deal with. It is the issues that we are concerned with. McCain/Palin have not told us their plan for fixing the economy. Atleast Obama/Biden have described some sort of plan. Even if it doesn't work or they don't even try to employ it, it is better than saying nothing at all. I do kind of agree with Bill Maher, citizens are becoming to stupid to sit down and look at what each candidate has to offer and go from there on their decision. Who has the best plan for the economy, the war in Iraq/afghanistan, and repairing our standing with our allies.

Let's get back to how to fix what has been broken over the past eight years.

The economy is the issue of the day and we will probably be contemplating this blink in time for the next thirty years! What we should concentrate on is why this happened and what to do about it. Where did it start? Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are a good starting point. Barney Frank has alot to answer. Oh and by the way, where was Barack Obama in this equation? Where was McCain?

I am amazed htat McCain thinks he can will the people to focus on what he wants them to focus on through lugubrious attack ads.

With people's concern on their jobs, mortgages, savings–what little Bush allows us to have–retirement, and putting their children through college, all McCain says is that "I am not strong in this area, therefore, I must run attack ads against Obama."

I really do not believe these polls reflect what the true electorate is. I truly believe this will be a much larger victory for Obama than the polls reflect. President Clinton himself summed it up several weeks ago when he said, "Obama will win big."

All statements made by either party can be checked out at FactCheck.org. Why don't people be responsible and do this prior to spreading this trash?

Both parties have made false and misleading statements about the other. And, it is not against the law. But, I really wish both candidates would stop this type of campaign and each party start telling us what their plan/solution is to the important issues facing this country–economy, health care, war, bail out, political campaign reform and lobbyist reform to name a few of them.

But, the American people need to stop circulating this trash too.

Karen
Texas

this is getting really nasty. to make such an outragous claim, an outright lie is really sick and shows real desperation. she can't answer a question, won't be questioned on her outright lies, record or abilities to be our vp, who the hell does she think she is? what does she think she is running for, the local pta? if she can't answer a question head on from katie couric for god's sake, can she stand up to putin, to the iranians. the only filter she is embracing is the thin veil of stupidity she sees through those square rimless japanese rims.

I believe Senator Obama is addressing what is most important to us all – without financial stability we can't afford health insurance, schools, police, fire fighters, utilities much less our homes. Slander will not fix our economy. Also, perhaps McCain has forgotten Charles Keating in his own past?

mccain your swift boat attack want work this time. People are more concern about jobs, their saving, buying food to feed their families,
and here in the Georgia and South Carolina where they can find gas
because most days we cant find any. After you find gas you have to decide if you will fill the tank or buy milk and bread because of rising
prices.
I really dont care to rehash the Ayers, wright, thing thats all I have heard for the last 6 month from the Republican party on every show
from every commentator its brought up everyday now we need jobs
and security and all mccain and palin want to talk about is ayers and
wright.
Its the economy stupid.
Obama/ Biden the green men.

cnn are you "No bias and no bull" ? or "all bias and full of bull"

Report balanced and true ...your credibility is already as low

as it can go...You don't print all just want advantages Obama.

All we hear from you is....OBAMA..OBAMA..OBAMA over and over

it fells like a machine gun going off....I was a Obama supporter gone

MISSING.

Democats trusts Mccain..you know you are not even a democrat..i am sorry that you are so disappointed that Obama has no link to terrorism what so ever and it hurts you so bad...

It is awful to see America is such trouble.

Obama's past has NOT been sufficiently scrutinised
by the media.

Be careful out there!

Democratic Presidents are way better than Republican Ones:
Real Growth GDP per capita (1929-2006): Dems = 3.8% Repubs = 0.7%
(source: paper by Professor Elliot Parker)
Stock Market Returns vs. T-bills (1927-2008): Dems = 16% Repubs = 0%
(source: paper by Professors Santa-Clara and Valkanov)

With Obama, "Happy Days are here again!"

There is no economic reason to vote for Republicans unless you earn more than $250,000 per year and are selfish and want your taxes dropped.

The story of the Ayers is sooooooooooooo old. Give us a break McCain/Palin. We want to hear about here and now. I'm working 2 jobs, 7 days a week to make ends meet. The issue is POCKETBOOK-ECONOMY. McCain/Palin does not get it. They cannot relate to our "pain". Obama, you go, just stick to the issues and keep ramping it up-just issues. McCain/Palin can grovel in the mud and dirt but this electorate is SMART-we know what the issues are--scare tactics will not work this time. Enough is enough!!!!

Global J- Yeah he is trying and that is all he will ever do is try. And the direction he wants to lead is not the direction that even you will want when you get there. Read a little about him, not what he wrote but what he has voted for and against, also look at present votes these will tell you alot about him. Then you might want to get some of Moa or Castro speaches and listen to them when they were first getting started. You might find they are close in what they say to what Obama is saying. So if you want to heard off in the direction, remember there are those of us here that will pull you out when you see what is really happening/

Pointing out the economic woes to voters would backfire against the Democrats. It is the Democrats' agenda for socialized housing that led us down this path, despite the vociferous denials of leaders such as Pelosi and Frank. Those that make the most noise are the ones who have most to hide.

It is in the best interest of the Obama campaign to keep away from the economy as a campaign issue. Pepole would rather believe that our troubles are biparitisan rather than laid at the doorstep of one party.

Mccain is full of crap, he needs to focus on real issues than try and distract attention from his sinking ship and leaking diaper.

This ignorant woman seems to be bit by a mad dog. I have been to Europe recently and I hear people saying how much they miss the American leadership which valued diversity, freedom, human rights etc.. They say that American leadership is feeding this BS to it's own people that other countries on this planet doesn't exist or everybody is ganged up against America. Look at how many countries we have included in the axis-of-evil list. The list is only growing. Russia, China, Iran, Iraq, Syria, N. Korea etc....

Internally, the economy is gone. People are having a real tough time holding onto their jobs. Families are having tough time putting food on the table. Gas and grocery prices are hitting the roof. Severe credit crunch. Small businesses are closing down fast. Unemployment is reaching high levels. Health care system is broken. Education system is broken. Infrastructure is broken. Society was polarized like never before. Life long investments gone. Now we have a 11.7 trillion debt. Two broken wars with no end in sight. Military is streched to the breaking point. Veterans were neglected. Constitution was trampled. People were tortured. Citizens spied on. Justice department was totally politicised. Wall street is gone.

Republicans created all this mess and Palin's idea to fix the problem is talk about what Obama did or didn't when he was 8 yr. old?

If John McCain had not gone to Washington to consult and counsel with the House Republicans, there would be no bailout bill. Rep. Boehner and other leaders have indicated as much. Even then, Nancy Pelosi blamed the Republicans for the bill's failing.

McCain is not erratic. His actions are in line with someone who is one hundred percent engaged based on his experience with how this Presidential election situation actually works for the good of the country. His opponent has now dropped back from talking about issues, choosing instead the politics of do anything to get elected. Too bad.

Obama/Biden will bring back the glory of America

I wish Governor Palin can come up with at least one strategy to solve the nation's economic crisis. Tying Obama to terrorists isn't the best way to go,especially since it's obviously a lie. America will get it right this time around. It worked for Bush, but I am not sure if it will work for McCain. Americans are paying attention and cannot be fooled again.
God save America from the neo-cons like Mrs.Palin. Don't forget her high school graduate husband will be making decions for the entire nation when Palin becomes your VP. Think twice before voting.

It's sad to see that McCain and Palin only go backwords.
Ayer's is old news. Played into the ground and didn't make any difference.
With these trying times we are in is this best they can come up with.
Wake up America do you really want those two bozo's running our goverment.
go OBAMA

Sarah Palin is the saddest candidate I ever witness running for a national position in the United States of America. She is totally
incompetent and doesn't know it. I can not wait until this election
is over so that she can go back to Alaska and be the most popular
govenor in America. (The person that nobody ever heard of until John McCain, who puts Country First, made her his "wise VP choice".)

John McCain is now clearly desperate. States he could have won are slipping away from him. The public is quickly waking up to the fact that he does not possess the intellectual ability to be president of the United States. He put his country at great risk in a perilous time by choosing a mindless bimbo as a running mate. This is now backfiring terribly as she joins him in spewing the most malicious and undefensible lies we have seen in any recent politics.

The writing is on the wall. Barack Obama will be the next (great) President of the United States, and no amount of Rovian tactics will stand in the way of this destiny.

Obama needs to tie the Republicans to every financial failure in the history of this country – and that would be the truth!!! He needs to continue putting his foot on McCain's throat in tying him to this failure and the fact that McCain thinks the economy his "hunky-dorey!" And then for good measure you mention that Palin's husband is a former Separatist, and if you can charge 9-year-old at the time Barack Obama to Ayers, then you canaddress the past in relative terms to Todd Palin, the everyday fisherman/oilman!

McCain is unstable and has serious problems in decision making. How can he be made the leader of the free world with his impulsive, outbursts and look at his judgement – by picking Sarah Palin he confirmed the fact that he would say or do anything to become president! Thats what he has done in last 8 years by goind deep into republican's pocket, hiring the same attack machine that destroyed him, praising the same guys who he spoke against – he morphed into a bush clone – complete with liberman standing by his side. He played into rightwing recommednation of Newt Gingrich by pickin' Sarah Palin – clearly he doesn't care about the country When country was suffering in economic terms he was playing political football with it. Its the Republicans First, Bushism First, More of the same First – not the country by any measure !

A month to go and the rancid McCain ticket still cannot do anything but its usual tactic of lies and smears. McCain is a Bush cohort and Palin is in the pocket of big oil. They haven't a single idea to put forward regarding the economy that Bush ruined.

McCain and Palin's respnse to loosign: "If we can't win on the issues we will just make things up." They tell flat out lies and people are either too racists or not smart enough to know better. It is beyond pathetic. At this point the republican strategy is not just sad but unethical. Is that really the kind of people you want to put in charge.

Firsty a question, how does the CNN "poll of polls" not have a sampling error? If that's the case couldn't we just save a lot of money and not have an election? With some background of statistics I'm amazed at that statement. In my textbooks you have to poll 100% to make that statement. You also need to ignore the logic that different catogories of voters turn up in different percentages and many peple claim to be regstered and likely to vote when in fact they are neither.

Will the bias never stop? When you read the CNN articles (except for only one) you get the idea that Obama and the terrorist had spoken a couple of times. ONLY in one article do you actually report that the terrorist held a fundraiser for Obama in his home. That seems like a fact that's worthy of reporting in each article. Couldn't you at least consistently report the facts and have some decorum of fairness to let the voters decide if it's irrelevent? When you decide, it only causes me to wonder what else you've decided for me.

Obama looks like he's got this thing wrapped up. Why don't you use the next 30 days restoring your credibility? I am an expat and don't live in the US. I knew most journalists were liberials but that didn't really bother me. I knew Fox had tapped into the conservative section. On a recent trip to NYC, I found myself having to watch CNN, Fox, and MSNBC to try to find the truth through all the spin. Shame on you!

Obama has to focus in on the issues, which this is an attempt to do. His economic plan is undoubtedly better than the last 8 years, which McCain will continue if he becomes president. Obama is a true, fresh leader!

"I do take issue with some of the principle there with that redistribution of wealth principle that seems to be espoused by you".
–Sarah Palin

Her grammar is horrible. I read the transcript and had to keep going over what Sarah said.

with Mccain/Palin in office life in America will be worst than life in middle east

OBAMA IS TRYING TO BE A LEADER IN THESE DIFFICULT PERILOUS TIMES WE'RE LIVING IN. MCCAIN IS A FOLLOWER HE IS TRYING TO DUPLICATE THE LAST EIGHT OF BUSH YEARS.

You got the trying right, everything else you got totally wrong. But try all he can he will never be a leader he thinks to much of himself, very uppity as I think some one called him.

So......whose fault is that???
And how dare the corruptive government make the people pay for the greed and corruption! Wait until election and none of these State Senators and Congressmen get reelected to their positions!

I don't want to see Mr Hussien in the White House he might just blow it up. He is the one lying to the people . Mr Obama rather win an election than tell the American People the truth about his tax plan

It's quite strange why McCain and palin still regard their hardworking countrymen/women as fools. It's time they realised that this stuff won't work anymore. Infact, it will rather work well for the DNC. It's so clear they can restore America's economy.

Obama is the solotion for all the problems that world is facing now...he make policy acording to current century...Not as Stone ages policy to kill and get...

Afgahnistan sucess depned on his fate...Obama save nations like afghanistan and iraq and so...as u will save your own nation.

McCain is unamerican, getting support from special interests, and has been a dishonest senator for over 20 years. Keating 5??

Bat-242,

Its funny, who in america hasn't experimented as a youth? His "anti-america" contacts have continuously been disproven, he's supported the military and vets benefits more than McCain, and the economy what matters now. Or do you only read red propoganda?

Just the facts McCain Palin...... Rove politics and "Fleeced" theories do not allow us to get to know what we need to know. How are your tax plans going to be different from Bush's?

We have listened to the personal attacks, but we want substance from you

Obama/Biden, what a fantastic combination. Economic experience combined with Foreign policy experience.

McCain has missed again and he should just forget about the election, he got it wrong the first time he picked Palin as his running mate just to win 18 million Hillary supporter, he got wrong when he tried to run away from the debate and now he got wrong again trying to divert the attention of Americans from the issues (economic crisis) affecting the lifes of all Americans.

Americans deserves a focused, stable, inlleligent, honest and caring President, Americans deserve Barack Obama.

McCain/Palin is a confussed team.

If someone really, actually had "bad character", it would be out in a flash, like the news about McCain and Palin's obvious and also their carefully concealed character flaws (Keating 5, Troopergate, banning books, etc).

since Obama is wholesome and clean, desperate GOP campaign
with nothing better to say or to do uses 11th hour to lie and smear-
well, we can all see through that one.

Palin shoots wolves from a helicopter for "sport" but Obama is the terrorist?

I advise you, Allan , to start preparing immigration papers so you can live in a foreign county by January 2009–either that, or go jump off a tall bridge. Maybe BAT-242 would hold hands with you and you could jump together.

At least one of the candidates is concentrating on what matters, and not mumbling on about the Vietnam war or trying to tell us what a "maverick" he is in a time when we need rational thinkers.

Palin probably has her witchdoctor Muthee making a voodoo doll right now, because a Republican win in this election will take drastic measures.

"Joe Six-Pack my gluteus maximus.

The republican party thrives on the ignorance of most Americans. They know that all they have to do is get a lie started and it will stick for a very long time. No wonder so many people watch FOX news. We can do better than this people.

Obama-Biden 08

Because Bringing Up Terrorists from When Obama Was 8 is Not Going To Fix the Economy!

Wailin' Palin, go back to your $500,000 home on the lake with your husband's plane tied to the dock and enjoy your $1,000,000 NET worth. You are a liar and you are corrupt.

It is difficult for me to comprehend that the Obama supporters even know what they are talking about or do any research on his background, before and during his current 'career'. Tell me, truthfully, what 'experience' does HE have? He has voted on all these bills but a few, with the answer of 'present'. Is this what qualifies him, or is it because he is a nice looking guy, and a good speaker when the teleprompter is there?

Palin, is spewing lies, and then those who are supporting her and McBush, are just as responsible for the economy problems as Bush! We have a choice, make the right one, or shut up! Obama! The only choice!

It is so perfectly clear across the board to me. Obama and Biden have integrity while McCain and Palin don't. It's as simple as that!

The ' You Betcha, Wink Wink' ticket is raising the level of political discourse once again. Gosh Darnit.

When all else fails, spread lies like manure, something's likely to grow out of it. Be careful Sarah, don't slip in it. You will end up lying in it and staring up at the moon.

'Well, gawwwlly, I can see the moon from here. I must be an astronomer.'

McCain's age is a problem, Palin's intelligence is a problem.

Obama/Biden

MCJed Clampett and Elly May Clampett Palin need to worry about troopergate.

Just a question, in all the time you have seen Elly May Clampett Palin holding or caring her baby have you ever seen here give that baby a kiss?

There you go again Sarah Palin....bringing up the past when Obama was 8! O I forgot...you said Senator Biden was bringing up the past when he talked about the last 8 years of Bush! O...but Bush is still with us! You need to leave the past alone...remember Trooper Gate? O but that is still on-going too?

Bill Ayers is not simply a person who lives in Barack's neighborhood and I think CNN is being dangerous by not telling the truth and not truthfully reporting the relationship these two have had for years.

You cannot befriend and dine with Charles Manson and essentially say there is nothing wrong with it because he is a changed man and what he did happened too many years ago and this is what O'bama want's people to do with Bill Ayers, who has never apologized for his radical anti-American terrorism, who tried to blow up the NYC Police Dept. and who is hiding now under the guise of a charity and O'bama campain volunteer as well as donor. O'Bama was the chairman of Ayers committee. How can CNN continue to brush the truth aside?

All you so-call Democratic up here who call yourselfs Democratic, just admit it that you are a bigot and will not vote for a half black guy. You're not a true Dem.. African Americans have been voting for white canadates for ever, and now that the Dems have a half black guy, some of you are coming up with a bunch of excuses why you're not voting for Obama, so PLEASE, stop with the excuses. PHONEY BOLONIES, go to the party that you really belong to (R)epublicans

I'am glad Obama is sticking to the issues. I will be voting for Barack Obama in November.

On this blog CNN has fact checked Palin's incredulous attack on Obama's non existent political ties with Ayers, yet CNN's morning shows continually ran the clip of her stating these false allegations.

Not a word was given to state her comments were FALSE!! Thus, you are spreading comments that you have categorically found to be LIES! What kind of news organization are you???

landslide for Obama..yea right..right down the black hole.

Obama does not have the backbone to lead...period..and

all the pandering blaming the other side won't change the fact.

;;;;;;;;;;Obama will bama on backbone::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

sarah paining has taken a lot of gift from oil companies and other compinies,her husband is getting paycheck for doing nothing,plane tickets and a lot of goddies.she is in her home and billing the states money etc.so are they intoutch?why she does not cooperate with troopergate.we need honest people to run this country.they are talking about something that happen when obama was 8 year old.

very nice answer from the obama camp..

the mccain/palin ticket is sinking.

McCain/Palin only want to play dirty and really don't CARE about what is happening to us in America. I lost my job. My kids public school is falling behind. Who will help? and who really cares? not the MCain ticket. Vote Obama/Biden for the love of this country.

I am not a US citizen but I have been following the Presidential campaings...McOldman is just a bitter old man together with his sideskick that he picks up as his new playmate...he reminds me of old McBush each time I look at him I see the face of old McBush at the back...The whole world is waiting for Obama who can really unite US with the Europe, Asia,, Middle East and the rest of the world. I would feel sorry for the americans who would be intimidated to wote that old sack ('alte sack' as in German language) with his winky winky sidekick and following another 4 years of McBush's legacy. It is about time that americans get the notion that their image need to be changed and that only be achieved with a change in politics and a new face, one who is cool, caring and above all, a leader who is able to use his diplomacy, judgement for the good of the american people and that person is Obama. If I were a US citizen, he would have 101% of my vote so americans are very fortunate to have such an able leader...do not allow McOldman to use fear tactics,etc . Vote for Obama on Nov.4!

These negative attacks from McCain and Palin will defeat those 2 liars in november.They both are out of touch and wont explain their proposals in detail.

Just keep hammering away on the real issues Obama and it will be a landslide victory.

Obama / Biden 08

Obama's right about McCain's health care plan. To break even under McCain's plan, you have to drop to a much worse insurance plan. If you pay $3300 for health care, but the employers $9600 payment for the rest of the plan now is taxable for you, that means you pay $3000 more in taxes on the employee sponsored part, $1000 more on the part you pay that is no longer deductable. Giving you a net tax "cut" of $1000. But since that money goes to the insurance company, you actually get none of that money, so it is a $4000 tax INCREASE from McCain.

What gets you admited in to HAVARD? Intelligence, High IQ. In this election we have a clear between the two contesting teams.
The current crisis demands a HAVARD type of analysis. Surely, a Vote OBAMA/BIDEN will guarantee the AMERICAN DREAM.

McCain said > He does not understand the complex economy.
Palin > Said she has only been around for 5 weeks , therefore she has no personal ideas.

Certainly, McCain/Palin is not the best. No new ideas , except same BUSH ideas .

Note that the Obama ad addresses a real issue and is substantive? Meanwhile back at the ranch, Palin and McCain are trying to come up with another wild story about Obama to try to discredit him.

McCain/Palin are looking more desperate every day.

thank god the Conservative republicans meat puppets r finally coming 2 terms with the reality that its not about blue collar white collar doesn't matter what color shirt u got on, its not about gay or strait black or white ITS ABOUT THE COUNTRY STUPID!!!!!!!!

In such bad finacial times i want to hear about the economy,health and jobs.It is horrifying to hear sarah palin who has no knowledge, and all about perception and in such bad times it is scary that voters do not want to know more about facts rather heresay

Just the facts McCain Palin...... Rove politics and "Fleeced" theories do not allow us to get to know what we need to know. How are your tax plans going to be different from Bush's?

We have listened to Fox News personal attacks, we want substance from you

Thank God McCain picked Palin.Because of her lack of everything ,she has brought the McCain campaign down.By picking her he showed the world his bad jugement.Change dose not begin by using Rove tactics.

Go for the jujitsu Barack. Attack them before they can even realize what hit them. I don't want someone like me – a joe six pack to run this country. I need a more intelligent, smarter guy to be my president

I voted republican all my life but this time I am changing my vote to democrats because it seems the republian ticket has no solid economic solutions for the financial crises that this country faces. When it comes to Iraq war , the sucess that John Mccain talksabout will not hold water because Iraq is not a democracy and will not be one for a long time. Shiia are in power because they are the majority and they will be close to Iran rather to be close to Americans because of religion. iran is the winner in this war and it will remain so in the future. This is what the republicans did not understand. Iran will be huge influence in the Iraqi politics and for this reason Americans gave Iran a big apportunity.

This election is over. Obama's going to win over (maybe well over) 300 electoral votes.

so the mccsane camp must be going to sean hannity school 101, i have never seen anyone more obssesed with this william ayers story ,more than sean hannity on fix noise, the negative attack ads DO NOT WORK, AS AN OHIO VOTER, who has already voted, OBAMA will take OHIO, and the election, like obama says, john me mcshame dosen't get it, NOT THIS TIME

mc 72 is not just getting it, that is the problem, he has no plans for the americans now is looking for the biggest word to use to bring obama down, mc papa, i will advice u to wait for tuesday and tell obama to his face what u want to use to bring obama down if u have the mouth to even use, as for ur daughter, she his just too small for obama to handle, let see what you will tell obama on tuesday because OBAMA is ready for you.

The Obama cultists have decided that their part in the political debate is merely to shout as loud as they can "Obama is a leader!" and "Obama is for change!"

How was he a leader in the recent financial crisis? They criticized McCain for failing to deliver the Republican House votes the first time but where was Obama leading the 95 Democrats that voted no.

How is he for change other than mouthing it as a slogan? What has he done in 8 years in the Illinois Senate and 2 years in the US Senate to promote change. How is voting 97% of the time along party lines working in a bipartisan way for change.

I have a lot of respect for John McCain (not so much for Sarah Palin). For what he's done in the past he earned that from me, but I think he is not running his campaign. Those around him are undermining his message and image. His "Straight Talk" is gone and we're left with the lowest level of attacks possibe. I eagerly look forward to each day to see how low his campaign will stoop to. I can honestly say our future is better in the hands of someone I can trust. Obama has mine!

OK. So now we've cleared THAT hurdle. Maybe she should start readling newspapers a little more often instead of listening to Rove and parroting the usual REPUB garbage.

McCain could win the election if he follows my advice.

1) Sack his whole campaign team.
2) Employ Obama's team.
3) Put Obama in charge of his campaign.

Free and excellent advice.

Look at huffington posts article on paul begala's interview on meet the press this morning, wow, Mc cain is in for it now.

Bat-242- ALL those claims you put, no experience, belittles military, friends with terrorists and past drug user, are ALL FALSE and been dealt with and banged to death for weeks..DEAL with it..Obama will be our president and he'll make a great leader

I am a Democrat and I am voting for McCain. Oh no! Why are you betraying Barack? You know why! Because John McCain had invented the BlackBerry. I love my blackberry. McCain know Washington for 30 years, Barack is new to Washington. McCain is smart and does not understand the economy and I am thrill to vote for McCain. McCain is rich and Barack is not. McCain has many houses and Barack does not. If I Americans get evicted from their homes they can get a room each from McCain. McCain is the real deal that will shake up Washington and himself because he is an insider. Sarah Palin is a foreign policy expert because she can see Russia from Alaska Joe Biden cannot see Russia from Delaware. This is why I am not voting for McCain. Palin try to link Obama to the terrorist shame on her and her republican mate who support that shame.

What I don't understand about McCain isn't he a vet and he voted to cut
vets benefit that is in itself is crazy he talks about how much he would take care of vets cuttiing our benefits has not help, I understand Bush and Obama neither guys has served in war but a guy who himself is a vet and served in a war and cut funding go figure. I wasnt a POW but I served my country and also was injured too, but I don't use what happen to me to get sympathy from people either, at the end of his debate with Obama he said they(meaning vets) know I will take care was the joke of the century I am voting for Obama at least he not being a vets may not understand the position about war but a guys who have served know
exactly what I am discussing now. I dont need JoeSix Pack you bet ya.

Yea Obama! Keep kickin' McSame in the economy. They 've got nothin.!!!

On the other hand, Sarah Palin being chosen as Pet of the Month should not go unnoticed. That is quite an achievement for a woman of her age. But why did they airbrush her antler tattoo???

Intead of singing 'bomb-bomb, bomb-bomb Iran' he should be singing ' How low can we go- how low can we go'.
To the Hockey mom supporters of Palin: Im sure you will understand the their pull-out of Michigan better if put into hockey terms "PULL THE GOALIE !!!!!!!!!!!"

McCain and Palin are both adulterers!!! I guess that's what being a Maverick means, you don't hold onto your wedding vowels.

I applaud Obama for running a campaign with integrity. I'd never vote for a ticket of pathetic character slammers that use fear tactics to get votes because they can't come up with the REAL stuff that Americans are concerned about. I've not heard John McCain present any solid plan about the economy, and it's almost election day. Sad. McCain and Puppet Palin are grasping at straws because they are losing. I just pray to God that the American people are wise enough to digest that. The REAL 'maverick' here is Barack Obama. I admire anyone who goes against the flow, and steps into a $10,000 per year job in an inner city to help those less fortunate. The 'mavericks' are so stupid that they don't realize that a maverick is a lone ranger ... not part of a team. McCain is a clone of George Bush ... certainly no maverick. Palin is naive parrot who will spout off scripted text from memory to please the Republicans because she doesn't have the intellect to participate in real discussion and debates, which she has proven with Couric, etc. Again .... certainly doesn't equate to maverick status.

Obama/Biden '08 ..... the wise choice for America!

Sarah Palin is a LIAR. No sane intelligent person is going to believe a words she says. Its amazing that She and those who "program" her just continue to repeat the same lies over and over. Ones that have been proven false over and over. Wake up people. Check out the facts, before you just believe anything you read!!

OBAMA IS A GOOD SALESMAN.

HE IS TRYING TO SELL "HOPE " WHEN THERE IS TURMOIL...

I can't figure out why all politics is so bitter these days. There's so much hate out there and I don't know why. It makes me not want to vote for ANYONE, because what does it matter? The same politicians are going to do what they always do and then they will spend their time blaming each other for whatever goes wrong. And, if I don't believe the same as the person sitting next to me, I am roundly criticized for not thinking the same way. Why is that? Why is it that Congress' approval rating is so very low, but everyone is going to vote back in the incumbents? It's the same at the state level. And it feels like all of this public fighting is just cheering the countries on that hate us. I think we are all screwed and I've pretty much given up.

allen- Do you even speak english? No wonder Sarah Palin is reaching some of you. Your displaying an aproximately 5th grade thought process and Palin comes across like a nice 4th grade teacher. No wonder Bush won(stole) two terms. All you morons speak the same giberish. Even adult republicans agree that times are desperate for MCcains chances. Do yourself a favor allen, go back to school and leave the political blogs to the Big people, run along now.

Palin's comments should anger every American because they think we are as dumb as her and we can be distracted by false comments. If this does not prove that McCain is like Bush then nothing will. God bless American and please save us from these two unstable people because we have a lot of work to do to get this great country of ours back to it's rightful place in the world.

Obama talks about the issues, and all the McCain campaign does is rant.

Obama =Stalin, Obama + HITLER= Lenin.

allan
It is obvious that you have been asleep these past 8 years. If you had paid any attention, you would realize that the Bush Republicans have done more to violate the constitution than any other previous governments. They have been wiretapping, and monitoring e-mails and telephone calls of innocent people. Now they have almost bankrupt the country with their deficit spending – especially the money spent on the Iraq war which was based on lies told by Bush and Cheney.

Wake up and use what little IQ you seem to have to examine the truth.
McCain has lied his way through this campaign and he will keep up the Swift Boating because he is desperate and has no integrity.
Obama is the only person who can help to get the country back on track.

people be smart, vote for a change, and make the change

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

I have had enough of Republicans ruining this country and lying to us....

"Irratic" McCain and "Beyond Unqualified" Palin have nothing left but to move to scare tactics, twisting of the truith and blantant lies; that's definitely putting Country First, you think? When are they giong to let Americans know what their plan is to jump start our econmony, restore our credibility in the international community; and the list goes on(Bottome line, they don't have a plan or a clue). Both McCain and especially Palin have YET to answer a direct question; not one. They are pulling at straws to win an election but not take care of this Country as a whole. Their tactics they are using are a reminder & the same tactics Bush used in 2000; like they say; more the same.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008/2012!

McCain/Palin & company (i.e. Democrats trust McCain) call Senator Obama a "terrorist sympathizer" even though he was only eight years old when Ayers was taking part in his radical activities, only met him a few times and repudiated those radical activities once he found out about them.

McCain, on the other hand, said the fundamentals of the U.S. economy were sound despite the dire financial crisis; keeps out and out lying about Obama's tax plan raising taxes on those making 42K and up; "suspended" his campaign to "rush" back to Washington even though he kept running his ads, sending surrogates out to bash Obama and remained in New York for another day to do press interviews; bellyaches about press that are supposedly biased against him even when they're reporting the truth such as his campaign manager's financial ties to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; bashes Obama, blaming him for the financial crisis and then saying "it's not the time for partisan politics"; derides the bailout bill then votes for it; allows surrogates to bash VP debate moderator Gwen Ifil for the "revelation" that she's writing a book that is partially about Barack Obama despite the fact that the publication of the book was announced back in July; and now sends his "lipstick pitbull" running mate out to deliver this borderline racist "he's not like us" diatribe about alleged radical ties that have been disproven and dismissed by most of the reputable media.

Erratic? Definitely.

Idealogically bankrupt? Absolutely.

Unfit to be President? Positively.

OBAMA-BIDEN in 2008. Vote as if America's future depends on it.

Obama's campaign advisers caused the Fannie Mae and Lehman meltdowon and they all work for Obama. Obama was the 2nd biggest recipient of campaign donations from Fannie Mae, behind only Barney Frank and Chris dodd (respective finance committee chairmen in the House and Senate – how cozy and how profitable for all of them

FRANKLIN RAINES , Fannie Mae CEO left in disgrace with $240 Million in benefits. The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear Raines now
works for the Obama Campaign as Chief Economic Advisor

TIM HOWARD Fannie Mae CFO Howard's Golden
Parachute was estimated at $20 Million! He is now a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama

JIM JOHNSON, a former Lehman executive Johnson's Golden
Parachute was estimated at $28 Millionon. Lehman went under Johnson was hired as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and was selected to run Obama's Vice Presidential Search Committee

IF OBAMA PLANS ON CLEANING UP THE MESS – HIS ADVISORS HAVE THE EXPERTISE – THEY MADE THE MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE. Would you trust the men who tore Wall Street down to build the New Wall Street or advise its new President

The economy is indeed the most important issues.

is obama a mathematical genius too, gosh, and i thought he was just a lawyer, goes to show ya how much i darn know...

I guess that's why his claims about taxes are lies, he cant count

you can spin it all the way you want mister/mrs Pig you are still pigs.

mc-shame is just out of touch, he his just want to be in d white house with his ground daughter not having say in the white house, they are trying rubbish to distract d voters, americans know what they want, let them vote 4 obame and save americans from the shame bush has kept them all

Let us focus on Obama's radical ties. Tell the truth CNN. Obama launched his political career in Ayers living room. This is a fact.

after listening to the mornings news on CNN, I am startled to see that, yet again, the republicans can say anything damaging that they feel like saying, i.e.Obama hangs with terrorists while McCain was an actual actor in one of the worst scandals ever, Savings and Loan-Keating. Have we forgotten? I can never see Obama going to the regulators to ask for favors. How forgetful are we as a country??

McBush and The Palinizer are getting desperate. They look incredibly foolish and are lying their butts off. So tired of hearing it.

Seriously, have we not heard all these rumors before? I'm so tired of hearing the same false statements over and over from John McCain and his pathetic constituents. It makes me so angry beyond belief that someone can go before the American people at times like this and blatantly lie to their facts. John McCain needs to bow out gracefully and stop making the rest of us look bad.

No Drama Obama vs Erratic McCain........

McCain/Palin = Unstable/Unable

I like it, should be the new national rally call

llan- you're crazy

The way that a candidate runs his campaign speaks volumes about what type of leader they will be. The McCain campaign has shown inability to rationally work through a crisis, attacking people who disagree or make him feel threatened, and taking gambles when under pressure and hoping for the best. These sort of traits in a leader are very, very dangerous not only for the USA, but for the rest of the world as well. God help us if he is elected.

cnn stop this nonsense what do you mean tries. the add is not trying it is focusing on real issues not some nonsense from people who are so out of touch that they have run out ideas on how to fix the economy. l dont call that trying to focus on the economy l call that focusing on what matters most to the voters which is the economy. so cnn stop yr spin please.

"Erratic"? That would be the understatement of the year. I think McCain is suffering from demetial!!

Obviously desperation has set in. Why else would McCain have this lady out on the trail spreading/smears about Obama. Makes one wonder about the character of both; Palin and McCain. There's plenty of factual stuff, ie Keating Five on McCain, Troopergate and extra infedelity regarding Palin if the Obama wanted to resort to this kind of thing. Maybe the McCain team doesn't want to talk about the issues that are important to all Americans. Yeah, that's why they're doing this.

send him off to the nursing home and her back to the wild frontier. This is not the type of behaviour America needs in the white house. She's a disgrace to the GOP.....

McCain And His Airhead Puppet Are Completely Lost.

They Tried To Steal President Obama's Platform Of "Change".

Then Came Up With The "Team Of Mavericks" .

Now They Are Resorting To Name Calling & Fear Mongering.

You New This Was Coming When They Played 9/11 Footage At The Convention.

Republicans Have Dug An Economic Hole To Deep To Get Out Of.

They Should At Least Try To Go Out With Some Dignity......................

.

Does Alaska not have an anti-rabies program? If so, Palin apparently didn't get her shots and should not have been granted to the lower 48. Either get her a muzzle, or she can single handedly kill any possible hope that McCain might still have for winning. Most of us are so tired of the misleading and sometimes totally erroneous ads and sound bites that reverse psychology is about to take on a whole new meaning.

McCain/Palin = unstable / unable

McCain is 72. He does not have a career after this election. This is why he is gloves off and does not care. But Palin should care about her career after November and should not be so stupid to jump from the cliff with McCain.

obama/biden 08
obama is a true leader and i believe he will make a change to this country!!!! McSane/Falin need to sit down and shut the hell up!!!

Trusting a Democrat to manage the national economy would be like trusting a glutton to manage a restaurant. One of the defining characteristics of Democrats is arrogant, self-righteous, greed, the utter certainty that they know better than you do what to do with what used to be your money. They feel not the slightest compunction about taxing people into poverty, secure in the certainty that "it's for their own good."

On the other hand, the people who stole and ruined the Republican Party aren't any less arrogant, greedy, or self-righteously certain that they know what's best for you, and if they tax you into poverty to fight some crusade somewhere, well, that's what their idiot God decreed.

You had your chance, America, with Ron Paul and people like him who know that for individuals to trust governments is an irresponsible abdication of their own responsibilities. Governments are never responsible to the people they govern. They never feel any responsibility to those who pay the bills. All they ever feel, like most living organisms, are instincts to survive and control their environments.

Power tends to corrupt, and all you have to do see the proof of that is to read the news. And since the most powerful single presence in American society is the Federal government, the most corrupt presence in American society is the Federal government.

There's not a lot of hope left, Americans. The best I can suggest to to vote them all out of office–every single incumbent Congressman, every incumbent Senator running for re-election, every Governor, every state legislator.

It won't make much difference, but at least the resulting confusion might keep the morons from screwing things up even worse.

HEY! It's the STUPID who think it is JUST the ECONOMY that is the MOST important element of this presidential race.!

WHAT IS IMPORTANT is that our president is someone who has EARNED the privilege of serving us in the oval office. Mr. McCain has EARNED that place of honor. Glib, smooth talking lawyer types are a dime a dozen! But can they be trusted? We ALL know better!

The ZERObama hangers-on have had the "wool pulled over their eyes." What a sad state this country has sunk into!

Palin is a dimwit- think about it if this was an african american spewing shout out this and what the heck that- they would say that person was stupid and not folksy. And the McCain camp has got to be the dumbest campaign in history- why show your cards- now all of the attacks will be seen through this prism- them talking about non issue things in the face of an impending depression- they want to talk about something someone did when obama was 8 yrs old- well what about keating 5 scandal- not only was mccain of age (40 or so) but he was also a senator- or should we talk about todd palin the first dude who was part of group that wanted to seceede from the U.S and just left the group 2 yrs ago and who Sarah was "palling" around. I think this lady should get a brain and leave the ticket- she gives women a bad name- or people with names a bad name. She will be forever damaged in her political career from now.

I have simply come to the conclusion that any republican who is still voting for McShame and Painin are either 1) a die hard republican that simply does not care about the issues or 2) has a "well at least Palin ain't black" mentality. How dumb do can you be and still breath! The most
frightening possibility that exists in America today is that this woman could be called upon in a national emergency.

McCain/Palin are desperate for voter attention and this is the only way to go – down right dirty and nasty. They have nothing substantive to offer, the polls show that. Little they know that they opened a can of warms for Obama to hit back, just ask Hillary.

Palin,should be home taking care of her little baby...What kind of Mother is she....Special needs Children really need a lot of Love and
attention....Shame on you Palin...

I appreciate any candidate who does not resort to falsehoods, character attacks, and remains steady when faced accusations and bully tactics. I will not repeat the names of the other candidate, but I must say he and his "gang of thugs" are not equipped to lead our country out of this mess. Obvious by this latest barrage of NONSENSE. Again, SHAME on them.

"I am asking you to Believe, not just in my ability to bring about a real change in Washington, I'm asking you to believe in yours." Sen. Obama

Obama/Biden '08

Barack Obama, please continue to stick with the issues that effect all of us in this country, and counter the old politics of destruction that only the Repoublican party and the McCain campaign know. There was a time that I respected Senator McCain, but alas that time is now gone, and now I only feel sorry for the Senator for letting the Karl Rove like portion of the Republican party change him forever.

I am a registered Republican who once voted for John McCain in AZ. However, it is painfully obvious John McCain today is not the John McCain of yesterday. The nomination of Sarah Palin was transparent pandering to women voters, and put the campaign before the country. There isn't a snowball's chance in Phoenix that this woman is in anyway qualified to be VP, or God forbid, President. And Sarah Palin- shame on you. Barack Obama gracefully told the press and his campaign to back off your family issues. How do you respond? With preposterous and unsubstantiated claims against Obama. Stick to the issues, Senator Obama. We are listening.

That's good Sarah, Give a shout out to those third graders and then get back to you juvenile name-calling.
You are toast

The American public who has just got shafted for a $700 billion bailout wants to know what each candidate's plans are to guide us through this financial meltdown. I'm tired of McCain throwing out a slogan like "I will give every American family $5000. for healthcare". What does it mean when Americans have just been robbed of $700 billion and a "family" debt for this bailout will be much more than $5000. The healthcare system is broken. How does this plan address that problem as well as the 3/4 million people out of work with increasing job losses expected. What about people with pre-existing conditions or chronic illnesses that max out your insurance on the first hospital visit? America is very angry with what has happen on the Republican watch. We need to see the Republicans as upstanding citizens who are working to make American better not some politician that will say anything to get elected. We don't want any more slick politicians that have sold us out and left us with a bill of over $700 billion dollars. I sure it has cross every America's mind that we are being scammed. Quick slogans, fact check showing McCain is running ads that determined to be false , and refusing to discuss the issues other than in terms of a slogan or a chant makes him look dishonest. Believe me America's been burned and we are checking those facts. Discussions are needed to sway us. The same old, same old, just increases our anger.

McCain is erratic. His behavior is confusing and it's difficult to figure out just where he is on the positions (i.e. is he for deregulation, the position he's taken all of his life, or is he for regulation, the position Palin seems to think he supports). He's voted with Bush over 90% of the time. He voted for the bailout even though it had earmarks, which seems to contradict his position that he wants to eliminate earmarks.

I think his campaign is poorly managed, riddled with lobbyist, and he seems to be changing his tune every day or so because he can't seem to find anything to resonate with his base or anyone else for that matter.

He clearly doesn't lead the Republicans, as Monday's vote on the bailout shows, so how will he lead the country?

I think he'd sell his soul to be president and it shows.

No one currently running for office on either ticket nor their spouses have ever belonged to or been the keynote speaker for, an organization that advocates secession from the United States and forming an independent country except Sarah Palin (keynote at 2006 and 2008 Alaskan Independence Party Convention) and her husband Todd (member of Alaskan Independence party and officer there for 2 years)

You really sure you want to start talking about terror sympathies because the move to treasonous sympathies is just too easy for Caribou Barbie and her 1st rebel dude hubby.

geez golly-lipstick- wink at me again miss lipstick... i hear u put out in alaska to

And Obama keeps rising in the polls....

Obama has been vetted by the American People for almost 2 years – this is nothing but old unsubstantiated lies.

as of yesterday – Gallup:
Obama 50%
McCain 42%

Democrats Trusts McCain- you are not a real Democrat.

What about the lobbyists working on his campaign. I don't care about what happened 40 years ago.. I care about what is happening right now. As long as Obama focus on the issues, he will win by a landslide. I still have not heard from the McCain campaign how they would fix this country, instead all they are doing is negative campaigning.

Not only is troopergate Palin a dummy, she lies as well. Must be terrifying for her kids and her paid for son-in-law. When CNN asked the McCain campaign why the word "terrorists" was in plural, they answed as usual "we`ll get back to you on that`. It`s funny how those wanting to rule the USA, build their platform on lies. People still gonna vote for these republican folks?

John McCain admitted that he, John McCain, doesn't understand the economy. So then why should we put him in charge? McCain doesn't understand the economy, and his side-kick Palin can't even run her own car-wash business (the state of Alaska faulted her business for not doing paperwork properly). In contrast, Senator Obama knows that we must have better regulation on Wall Street, and he knows what it's like to be poor – his own family grew up on food stamps. We need change in this great nation. We need Senator Obama.

Lifelong Republican – Liar, liar, pants on fire. I know you and you have been a registered Democrate all your life. But you are consistant with the moral character of your party.

40 years ago McCain promised to give military information to the communists in exchange for medical treatment, he got the treatment and all we have is his word that he didn't give the information. Now we see that his word is worth nothing.
On another note, I beleive that if John could drop Palin for another woman he would do so in a heartbeat, he's done that before as well.
John Mccain is all about expediency, do whatever it takes to get what he wants, and to hell with morality, fairness, and the right thing.

Barack Obama For Radical Change. Thanks but no thanks.

good. stay on message! don't stoop to mccain-palin level.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Palin is trying to divert attention from the Troopergate controversy but it aint gonna work. Mccain/Palin never states what plans they have for this country but it's either obama this or obama that. America, what do Mccain/Palin ticket have to offer to drag us out of this mess?! Nothing other than Karl Rove fear tactics to get them elected. Iam not voting for McCain but should they win, it's the end of America!!

Proof positive that although Palin can get her hands on a major newspaper, she doesn't read for content.

Looks like the "Coon Cult" is roaring pure trash and lies as usual!!!!

Where is Biden ? Hiding behind his mother-in-law's skirts ? He is a coward. And not good at multi-tasking.

Courage, not fear.. Obama!

The economy is in terrible condition,which Sen Obama ia always addressing and working on plans to get it going back in the right direction,while the bush duet(mccain-palin)can only think of things that are completely false about the right man for this country(OBAMA) and finding some nitwits that would believe any thing, to help spread their lies.All you shallow minded puppets remember who mccain will be giving his tax cuts to,if you are not in six figures its not for you,then you will be crying for the right man to do something for your sorry life

What happened to the old John McCain? You know the one with principles, well I guess gone with his principles, gone with my vote. I will vote Obama, I cant stand how he has changed, lied and just feels he and his partner can say anything except what I want to hear which is a solution maybe an idea how to fix the economy? Obama band wagon here I come!!

everyone must go see the movie "W" on the 17th! See what you voted for and see what putting McSame and Palin would be like only worse.
Can you see Palin talking tough turkey with China or Russia? My god they would eat her alive and we would be invaded!

I just heard on television that nine million Americans are without jobs,. One might ask if we quit shipping jobs out of this country, put our people back to work ,that would be nine million more tax payers. to bad the McSenile camp would try to turn up the heat when they have the Keating Five, Cindy hooked on prescription drugs, stealing from her own foundation, his affair with Cindy while he had a disabled wife at home with three children , we can see he doesn't put family first, and then picking the airhead for VP. Connie from Indiana

As a liberal democrat but only a moderate fan of Obama, I find the attacks by the McCain campaign ridiculously desperate. If there was substance to Obama's past relationships, they would have been addressed by this time – even with the media as biased as it is.

Senator Obama, please continue to offer intelligent solutions to the mess we are in and don't stoop to the GOP's pathetic level.

Cnn, what responce could they have except to try and blame the unemployment on Obama.... that has been his whole campaign..

McCain is not stable, he is a reactor.. just waiting to go off.

If McCain's VP pick must resort to name-calling, what does that make her? Republicans seem to rely on fear as their primary vote-getting strategy. What does that say about their impression of voters in general?

Barack Obama is a true leader with the brains and judgement to help America in this time of crisis. We don't need another bunch of C- students who don't know squat about the important things that affect real citizens.

BTW – wasn't "Joe Six-pack" a character in LouAnn Platter's 'Manger Babies' puppet show on 'King of the Hill'? Sarah Palin does remind me of Peggy Hill. Only Peggy is smarter and not as mean spirited.

YES WE CAN!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Just as anyone knows, its hard to drive with a distraction. The McPain Campaign is distracting itself by focusing upon attacking instead of solutions. The events surrounding America's current situation financial, political, security, etc... do not blend with the fear machine upon which the Republicans have relied. Fear of terrorists, wallstreet, bankers, Muslims, Iraqis, pirates, energy costs, 401Ks, retirement plans, economic collapse, etc.... ad nauseum. Everyday they offer another Fear Factor as in Today's Obama with known terrorist slander!!! Americans can tell the difference with many things, but to say a candidate may be a terrorist is pretty much overboard particularly when your party leader is a traitor!!! Get over it Republicants as the only thingAmericans fear are the Republicans themselves!!!

palin is dispicable talking about soccer moms that she wants to represent.

let me tell you, the soccers moms that i know are smart, family oriented and care about the environment. the exact opposite of you.
so please stop talking about soccer moms because you don't represent us at all.

we will never vote for a stupid, careless, discipable woman like you.
go home and raise your family.
your family is all broken and dispicable.

obama 08

Is Ms Palin saying that the secret service is protecting a terrorist? What exactly is she saying? Also I am keen to see her as eloquent on the issues. McCain / Palin – you are losing me!!

Dear John McCain,

I remember John McCain from the 2000 election. I was impressed with John McCain. Indeed I liked John McCain. I knew John McCain, and you, sir, are no John McCain.

with apologies to Lloyd Bentsen

Holy flying cows, palin is needed in Ak.
She can spew her political tactics there with Troopergate.
This is not what America needs now, lies and evil.

When are we going to stop blameing Bush about the economy? CNN needs to reserch and go back to what and who started this time bomb. If CNN is truly interested in telling the truth to it's viewers you will see that this is not Bush's fault. Just like 911 was not Bush's fault. CNN do your home work and bring us the truth about the sub prime mess, Fanny mae, Freddie mac, And everyone that has had their hand in this mess dateing back to the Carter and Cliton administrations. TELL ALL AMERICANS THE TRUTH!!

When you have nothing to say you say nothing. The McCain/Palin ticket is an unfortunate representation of one of our major American political parties. Reading off of note cards, winking and unbecoming personal attack behavior is not enough. This is a sad day in American governance when that ticket represents one half of the best America can consider. The Obama/Biden ticket certainly has imperfections, but they communicate their proposed programs and policies in an appropriate manner for consideration by the American public.

BILL CLINTON and ROBERTA ACHTENBERG are to blame for this economic crisis.

They forced the banks to lower their lending standards so that poor people could buy houses by playing the race card.

Another failure of Democrats attempts at social engineering.

Vote McCain / Palin

I'm amazed that there are people who will support McSame/Pain until the end of the world no matter how much they do! Stick to the facts. There are people making comments agreeing with this terrorist crap and instead of checking the facts and keeping their mouths shut, they just repeat the same old BS.

No wonder they are supporting that ticket. They just repeat whatever they are told. PLEASE TELL ME SOMETHING WITH SUBSTANCE!!

What's the McCain plan? What is he planning to do for the economy? Why did he vote for a bailout bill that has earmarks in it when he vowed he would veto them as president.

Let's make HIM famous!! Vote Obama/Biden! McCain will be famous for making a fool out of himself!

If the root cause of the credit/liquidity problem is mortgage sub prime lending, Fannie – Freddie stock, and mortgage-related hedge funds, then Barney Frank (D-MA) is the chief culprit still standing in my view. It will be interesting to see what his constituents say on Nov 4th.

Mcbush Palcheney, the catastrophe that will replace a desaster. Every American should be able to say never again
ngannenu

So much for not trying to be a 3rd Bush term McCain/Palin. This seems very familiar to someone who experienced 8 years of this crap.

America won't fall for this again. We're tired of being fearful and we're ready to have hope again. Also, bad call on telling us what you're going to do in a news release. Kind of takes away the "believablity" factor of anything you say next.

McCain/Palin = I'm tired of everyone talking about my weak points, so I'm going to call the other person names. Welcome to middle school again everyone.

BILL CLINTON and ROBERTA ACHTENBERG are to blame for this economic crisis.

They forced the banks to lower their lending standards so that poor people could buy houses by playing the race card.

Another failure of Democrats attempts at social engineering.

Vote McCain / Palin

May be Mcshame/Palin does not know we have common sense. All Mcshame/Palin have left is lying and trying to deceive the American people. Shameless McCain/Palin you will soon look for another lie. We already know McCain/Palin = Zero. McCain/Palin have nothing to offer except more economic & financial disaster, thats why McBush/Palin is dodging from issues and resorting to lying & deceit. McShame the lying hero, we don't need you.

Obama/Biden08

EXcuse ME!! and is ok for DUMB palin to make terrorists remarks? seriously I can care less about Whow is involved with who, what I'm worried if the economy affecting MY EVERY DAY LIFE, !!! FOR YOU THAT ARE VOTING FOR MCCAIN/PALIN YOU WILL SERIOUSLY REGRETED THE SAME WAY YOU REPS REGRETED VOTING FOR THE WORST PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES GEORGE W BUSH!!!

That's right! Stick to the issues! Don't stoop to the low level of the McCain/Palin campaign. For a person that said he wouldn't campaign at this level, his campaign has had more mud slinging than a pig pen.

McCain and Palin are losers. They cannot discuss issues that affect the nation. INstead they have resorted to same "divisive fear and smear" tactics that Bush resorted too. Now I guess people will be understand what Obama stated when McCain is same as Bush

....Joe six pack has turned into Joe 3 pack...no money.

Palin is a caricature, an inarticulate nothing.

McCain is worse than nothing. He is somethiing...war hero? POW?

How many have we sacrificed due to McCain's and Bush./Cheney?

Sarah Palin is on the right ticket...and how the hell did husband Todd get into this fray? Why don't they say something about the state sponsored trips the Palins and their familiy made to watch Todd go snow mobiling?
How about the subpoena that is still hanging over their heads?

Let's tell it like it is.

Obama/Biden want something for US, McCain/Palin want it all for them.

no more HIGH RISK Gambles for me!

no Maverick Bi-polar Joe Six Pack Susie Dim wit

Don't read newspapers, 13 bedroom mansions

but CLAIM they're 'in touch'

I don't want LOONEY TUNES

at the steering wheel of

THIS RESCUE MISSON!

need qualified, capable, THOUGHTFUL & reasonable LEADERS

at this HISTORICALLY critical time..

no fru hah hah! No glamor queens!

no crash and burned has been RECKLESS pilots!

need not apply!

McCain / Palin they are the ones that just don't get it. Until they stop dancing around question that concern the American People, We the American will dance around there poll numbers. I watch that fool on the VP debate. We the people needs more than a wink and a smile. The Media think that was cute and said she was the most likeable. In the business world that do not count for anything. "" AND " What she Means that she is going to answer the question the way the Americans people want to hear. Palin has been talking ever since the convention and the only thing that comes out of her mouth are lies , that is when she can make a full statement. REFRESHER COURSE IN ENGLISH PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

I can't wait for November 4th. This is going to be the year that America takes back the Whitehouse and gathers even more strength in Congress.

Republicans should be spending their time writing their concession speeches because they know good lies take time to write! What a joke it is that people will vote Republican simply because of two principles; "Right to Life" and "Anti Gay Rights". The Republicans are supposed to be the "conservatives", which is only true if you consider they're conservative in helping "Main Street". Why won't McCain address "This Year"? Because there is no way to address it without admitting failure!

The last 8 years have been the worst 8 years this country has experienced since the "Great Depression". We need Barack and Biden it's America's ONLY chance to come out of the "Fog" that Bush & Cheney have brought over this country.

When a Christian is being helped through a crisis they're guided to clarity so they can see clearly what negative influences (in their life) have contributed to the crisis. America is starting to see through the "veils" of deceit the Republicans have draped over them for the last 8 years and they realize that for the first time in 48 years there's hope and promise on the horizon again. That hope and promise is Barack Obama and Joe Biden and they will guide America out of the "fog" back to prosperity! Please vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden!

I mean what else do you expect from McCain? He's old and gripping to whatever life line he can reach.. And guess what's right there?....the same old swiftboat, fear-based tactics... "Obama is the other", He supports terrorists"- these are the exact things that non-thinking Americans want to hear to help them make the decision they were leaning towards anyway. Voting for McCain. McCain is for simple minded people and oil companies........

Obama 08- A New Country!!!

How disturbing it is to read of John McCain and Sarah Palin and their recycled and lame attempt to connect Barack Obama to William Ayers. Palin states Obama is "palling around with terrorists." What's even more outrageous than the utter stupidity of their bogus claim, is that McCain and Palin show more concern for Obama meeting Ayers than they do for this "terrorist" who is actively employed in Illinois and teaching at a Chicago university. I guess they aren't too worred about terrorists.

Sounds like the McCain camp has its priorities intact.

A dismal display of desperation by McCain's campaign, but not the least bit surprising.

not that she is not qualified but she is also a lier .we already know about Obama ,Biden ,and MC cain.Now we want know about you Palin tell the truth on the probe cause.

OBAMA +BIDEN=2008
MC CAIN+PALIN=2075 if you are alive

You know it should would be nice if McCain/Palin would actually focus on what is important to the American People. All of this mess about Obama has been out there since the primaries. All of these questions have been asked and answered by Obama and the campaign. All of these rumors have been vetted and debunked by every major news agency out there. It is time for the McCain campaign to talk about the issues and stop trying to change the subject.

Obama/Biden

Read the fact check a few stories down.

I would indeed call Obama misleading...full of doublespeak.

A life-long democrat voting for the only ticket that will be able to handle this failed democatic congress inaction that helped to get us where we are. Thanks Obama, Nancy Pelosi. My vote goes to the right ticket McCain/Palin. Roll on champs. Reform this inefficient government.

if issues are not the critical platform in this election then the last eight years did not give enough lessons and it might just be ok to go through the lessons once more. it sounds sickening.

Palin and McCain: They put the ICK back in MAVERICK!!!

Did he, or did he not, PROMISE us all, "No More Politics as Usual"?

He broke that promise.

I am Brooklyn, and I approve this message!

Keep it up Obama. Hit 'em where the truth is.
All Palin and McCain can say now, are lies and misleading statements about you because they have nothing else left to run on.
America is starting to put it all together,and they are coming out for the Obama/Biden ticket. Now all they have left is their smear tactics.
They are going down, and going down fast.

Obama/Biden 2008

Old stale tried and failed dirty politics of McCain-Palin has reared it's ugly head again. No worries the American people will surely reject them once again. It's ALL about the economy stupid !

I am glad Obama is revealing truths and staying focused on what the American people need !

no matter which candidate you support, americans should be offended by anyone who claims their opponent is a "terrorist sympathizer."

SHAME ON YOU! we a tired of this kind of hateful politics.

Shameful and unstable, can Palin stop telling a lie and start to say something meaningful to any ordinary people: job, economics, health care etc? The "trooper gate" has really revealed what Palin's characters can be – is that what the country need now?

I have been watching this campaign with intrest from the UK.

It beggars belief that McCain/Palin are even in the contest. Does anyone with any modicum of intelligence consider Palin good/competent enough to be V.P.? If nothing else the choice of Sarah Palin as a running mate should be enough to convince anyone that McCain does not have the judgement to be President.

If Americans have any aspirations toward repairing their world image there is only one choice to make – Obama.

Old stale tried and failed dirty politics of McCain-Palin has reared it's ugly head again. No worries the American people will surely reject them once again. It's ALL about the economy stupid !

I am gald Obama is staying focused on what the American people need !

Palin is UNQUALIFIED.

Now she is DETESTABLE.

McCain and Hannity sorry.Not this time.Move on guys

When you can't run on your record Republicans have turned to smearing their opponents every time. And now a desperate McCain is ready to do the same thing - proving once and for all what an amazing "maverick" he is.

What a loser.

And Palin is a dumb parrot.

"No experience, prior drug user, has friends who hate America, belittles the military, yep he would make a fine, typical democratic president."

This sounds so much like President Bush!

To the "Democrat" below – I bet you love Sarah Palin? The Republican base is made of uneducated people such yourself.

Obama paid bloggers out in full force again today.....
Middle America will be speaking loud and clear next month.

Americans, please keep your future president Obama save. America and the world needs him desperately.

A concerned neighbour

Palin targets Obama as a guy who pals around with terrorists. She needs to look no further than her own bed to find a husband who belonged for seven years to a party whose sole platform was to place a referendum on the Alaska ballot that would allow Alaska to secede from the United States of America. I cannot believe that more Americans and more of the news media are not talking about this.

What makes some misinformed voters think that Senator NObama will be able to do didly with the economy, or any other concerns, for that matter? As we all know, he really has not reached across the isle. All he and his supporters can do is talk out of both sides of their mouths. Senator NObama has never done anything of consequence and he is not about to.

Florida voters, in particular, don't be fooled by the Senator's rhetoric. Rhetoric is the one and only thing he can do well, besides lying his head off, of course.

LISTEN UP YOU IDIOT KIDS who sound off irresponsibly on this ticker..........
There is absolutely NOTHING unstable about SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN. THERE IS SOMETHING HORRIBLY WRONG WITH A MAN CALLED OBAMA WHO HAS A QUESTIONABLE BACKGROUND, WHO HAS NO QUALIFYING EXPERIENCE TO HIS CREDIT, WHO IS TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE JOB OF PRESIDENT WITHOUT EARNING ANYTHING TO HIS CREDIT.
OBAMA IS NEITHER WORTHY OR QUALIFIED TO BE PRISIDENT AND ONLY IRRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE SUPPORTING HIM. OBAMA IS A TERRORIST, ANTI WHITE SYMPATHIZER, MARRIED TO A MILITANT WOMAN. THIS IS FACT, LIKE IT OR NOT.

all THE GOP VP are liars cheney now palin. palin sounds like a programmed robot

I am a 72 year young Democrat who made up my mind the minute Hillary Clinton exited the race. I would not have voted for an Obama/Clinton ticket either. I am voting for McCain/Palin ticket this election. It is too bad that Obama had to rear his head and get in the running. I do not like his politics, I do not like his eliteisism, I do not like what I have heard about him and the acorn problem caused by him and his financial campaign manager in pushing ahead with all the sub-prime loan for blacks when they could not afford them and when they could not make their mortgage payments and causing one of the great problems we have now - foreclosures. Thank you Obama. And that is another reason I would not vote for him. Another on is that CNN has taken his side and whenever I turn the TV on to CNN that is all I hear is Obama this and Obama that - I have been totally Obamaed out. If it were not for the the blacks, and the young voters he has mustered into his Jim Jones' like campaign, he would not be where he is right now. I can only hope that the common-sense voters will see through his physod (spelling) and not vote him into the office of President of the United States. At this time in our history, it is a job that should be taken on by a person of experience and a Mavrick and his running mate who really seem to want to take on the establishment and help the main street taxpayers. Thank you for reading this and thank Lou Dobbs for the good job he does reporting the politics of today in an objective and independent way.

Republicans/Democrats and all folks need to think real hard before the pull that lever for McCain/Palin. This country is in deep because of the ideology that the current admin carried out. McCain/Palin subscribes to it as well. Some will say, well Bush had it tough, with the attacks on 9/11. Yes he and all of us had it tough because of that. But that is no excuse for poor decision making and lies to promote an ideology on the blood and backs of the everyday working man and woman. I was lied to about why we went to Iraq. Lenders wrote loans with no oversight, Hardly any government agencies had oversight, toy imports, food imports, border security, FDA, EPA they all had their guns taken away. Well, the buck stops there in the oval office. Senator Obama and Joe Biden will deliver the shift in paradigm that we so desperately need. People need to look in the mirror and have a heart to heart and get over their party, color, sex, and age and do what is right for America and the world. Vote for Senator Barack Obama and Senator Joe Biden to be our President and Vice President.

who distract

How can any american vote for someone under federal investigation for abuse of power. Do you want the whole world laughing at you. If Palin is elected, you will no longer be a super power ...you will have no credibility. If you think the world's respect for you is low now, wait until Alaskan Barbie gets into office....We'll have no respect for you. We in other countries actually expect our elected officials to tell the truth, why don't you?

Obama is not a terrorist-simpathizer nor you are a Democrat.

Months ago, when I respected McCain as someone with a sense of honor even though I disagree with his positions on most things, I looked forward to a campaign of ideas and principles. I thought McCain would be different from the Rove-Bush-Cheney campaigner we are seeing now. Erratic? McCain has changed his positions so many times and has run such a disorganized campaign that this conclusion is unavoidable. Obama, on the other hand, has stayed on-message and has run a campaign that is a model of efficiency. Would that the country was run so well!

Obama is the right choice.

"McCain – Desperate to be president" should be the headline of an ad. He will say or do anything to be president. One day he will be pro deregulation, the next day he extols the virtues of government regulation. I have lost all respect I ever had for the man.

Right on Obama –stick to the issues of the year. Noone is going to vote for "dirtbobbers'. We need intelligent leaders, not reactionaries to complex worldly problems. The world is now smaller and very very competitive. Brains will get the job done!! Obama/Biden 2008

Obama rides of the coattails of the CLINTONS economic policies and successes, of course after calling them racists and secretive, and unsuccessful throughout the primary....wait, where are his talking points about how great Reagan and the republicans were sooooo great with such good ideas???.......too bad obama will turn into a Carter administration if elected....tell me what exactly Obama has EVER done to make ANYONE ELSE'S life better besides his OWN? Please go check out the Chicago Neighborhoods he supposedly "helped".....pitiful.

This is now just plain funny how the Obama campaign has McShame running around. With less than a MONTH to the elections, the GOP has been unable to get out a clear and consistent message to the people. It's interesting that Obama has steadily and consistently stayed on message and is now wrapping up support with 4 weeks to go. Poor McShame is now scrambling around and everytime he thinks he has clobbered Obama, he has to scramble to another state where Obama has pulled ahead. It's like watching whack-a-mole......tell me it ain't so Johnny boy....looks like your maverickyness is not going to work.

John McCain, you and your vice president are liars! What a joke. Sarah Palin has NO credibilty and you send her to be the messenger of your antics!? I can't wait for November 4!

Obama/Biden 2008-2012
Hillary 2016

What makes some misinformed voters think that Senator NObama will be able to do didly with the economy, or any other concerns, for that matter? As we all know, he really has not reached across the isle. All he and his supporters can do is talk out of both sides of their mouths. Senator NObama has never done anything of consequence and he is not about to.

Florida voters, in particular, don't be fooled by the Senator's rhetoric. Rhetoric is the one and only thing he can do well, besides lying his head off, of course.

Yes, I am a life-long Democrat! And, win or loose, I am voting for MCCain/Palin!

Democrats Trust McCain: Democrats/Americans DO NOT TRUST McCain or Palin. These two are a disaster for this country.

What is most bothersome, McCain was TRASHED and left to die in 2000 by Karl Rove and the Bush campaign and it was shameful. BUT NOW McCain is using the same tactics and people to TRY to do the same thing to Obama...well it won't work this time.

McCain has sold his soul to the devil to win this election. MCCAIN CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!! McCain and Palin is a disgrace to the democratic system of America.

Its all about the economy and the GOP is so scared . they are running from all the issues relating to the economy– because its Bush we can thanK for all of this mess . And lets face the truth Mc Cain is SOS , just another election – He's an old man–with old issues and lies–HE is BUSH

Palin and McCain are both liars.

Our Economy is on the brink of collaspe. We are fighting Two Wars.
And McPitbull is telling us to worry about something that happen when Obama was 8 years old? Does the GOP think the american people are a bunch of idiots? Stick to the issues please.
Which ever ticket wins, the American people get what they deserve

I am disgusted (but not surprised) with the direction Palin just took this election. McCain has finally realized he can't win this on the issues, so he reverting to fear tactics. Any respect I had for McCain before is now officially gone.

McCain/Palin, please talk about important issues! Linking Obama to someone who commited crimes when Obama was eight is ridiculous! Also, this guy was pardoned in 1974 when Obama was still a child. This American former terrorist was pardoned by American leaders. He went on to be an education leader (he was bad when he was young... now he is trying be helpful for the good!?), this is beside the point people. Why should Obama show hate towards this man when this man was pardoned, and according to our government deserves to lead a productive life.
How about Todd Palin who was a member of a group who tried to secede from the USA (remember the Civil War? South secede the from the North and form the Confederacy). Are the Palin's patriotic? Why is it when you don't agree with all the views of the Republicans... you are unpatriaotic?
Everyone of these people who are running for office have no choice but to have met unpopular people in their time as public officials. Does that means they agree with people that they meet.. or friends with these people?

McCain supported Reaganomics on Steroids since the early 1980s, and now we're all feeling the pain from those dismally failed policies. Even now, McCain favors the Bush tax cuts to the extremely wealthy and big business. TRICKLE DOWN doesn't work, the financial trickling stops where it starts, at the top. He won't be satisfied until he starts another Great Depression Vote Obama.

The Economy is clearly at a Crises Point ! Something must be done soon to reverse the disasterous course or America is doomed to repeat the Great Depression. Most experts agree that the De Regulation of the Finance Sector has lead us to this brink of collapse. John McCain has been a champion of this de regulation and brags about it. Four years of McCain is in fact the third term of the terrible Bush Presidency. McCain has voted in support of the Bush policies over ninety percent of the time.

Shame on you John McCain !

To allow your campaign to end up using gutter politics to win instead of focusing on what the American people need right now, is outrageous and shallow.

And what is most revolting of all is that you are using Palin, who by the way couldn't find her way out of a candy store unless it what scripted, is totally reprehensible. Palin should not be throwing stones at others. She should be concentrating on her own problem "Troopergate" which is not smelling too good right now. The fact that she refused to cooperate in the investigation after McCain and his merry men took control of the issue is very questionnable. All this is proving that Palin cannot speak and think for herself. The McCain campaign has turned her into a talking barbie doll.

Obama is doing great. Obama wants to move us forward & speaks to the issues that are important. McSame is stuck in the past, & offers us the same that we have been living with for the last eight years. McSame is coming out with lies & offensive attack ads, because that is all they have left, attack, attack, attack. I don't think it will work, it just proves McSame is falling behind & getting more frustrated, angry & will resort to anything. It will not work, that era of negative tacits won't fly. Palin tried that here in Carson, & got boo'd out of town ! ! No McSame, No Palin, No Way, No How.

This country is facing it's worst and you have Boso and Bosette trying to put Obama down with lies. This is not the time to blame anyone right now. They need to challenge this campaign with truth and what they plane to do for this country. When Bush won his 2nd go round I said well maybe he can clean up the mess he started, and it got worse, so many of us loosing are jobs, hopes and dreams, SO TO ALL VOTERS TAKE A LOOK. IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE

"I love to see Bush 4 more years than 1 day of Obama."

You can move to Crawford and watch Bush the rest of your life.

McCain/Palin have no solutions. She refused to answer certain questions at the VP debate.

All they will do is attack a person's character. I have to say this makes me appreciate Hillary Clinton more. She has already thrown the kitchen sink at Obama and McCain/Palin is trying to throw it again. It is not going to work now as it did not work then.

Obama/Biden '08

P.S. Our thoughts an prayers are with Joe Biden and his family illness at this time.

Barack Hussein Obama is Totally Unqualified to be in the race. He is completely inexperienced and tries to 'act like the President' and is sorely without substance or ethics. Most mature Voters have seen this lack of experience and qualifications and think he is a FRAUD. Young voters are the serious threat to this country because they do not understand or know that Obama is an empty shirt. These kids see Obama as a 'cool, hoops playing guy'..........well, big deal! They had better waken to the fact that Obama is full of empty promises and has NO IDEA how to accomplish any of it. What has he proven since he left school? NOTHING OF VALUE. What has he accomplished in the 3 years in the Senate? ZERO. All Obama has done is run for President the entire time he worked in the Senate. Obama never ever voted anything but 'PRESENT.' Obama would never take a stand. Obama is INDECISIVE AND WEAK AND CERTAINLY NO LEADER.
Obama is UNPATRIOTIC and does NOT support the United States, but blames this country and panders to Europe and our enemies.
Obama showed this disrespect when he trapzied to Europe and tried to copy JFK and talked DOWN about America and her people. This is NOT WHAT AMERICANS WANT TO ELECT AS PRESIDENT. ACTING THE PART, AS OBAMA IS TRYING TO DO, MAKES NOT ONE BIT OF DIFFERENCE. OBAMA IS A FRAUD. LOOK AT HIM, LISTEN TO HIM, AND LEARN IT NOW! WAKE UP .....VOTERS!

Nope, Nope, not going to work. Palin accusing Obama of terrorist connections shows how utterly desperate they are. Wouldn't it be better to develop and articulate an economic plan instead? Please, as a lifelong republican I ask you Mccain/Palin to leave whats left of our party's dignity.

Palin should be the one accused of her shady connections, starting with her husband Todd's Alaskan Independence party, and her TrooperGate investigation.

It is clear to me that Mccain/Palin do not represent our parties values,
and that Obama-Biden, while I have my reservations, are the correct team of people to bring our country back on track.

Obama-Biden 08!

Obama feel what we feel and he can put Big smiles in our face again.
God bless America.

Vote Obama/Biden 08

As a voter in a state that could make or break the candidate, I can not believe the McCain/Palin ticket. We all have heard the rumors of Obama and Ayers. They have all been explained. I would think with the economy in such turmoil, there would be more to talk about beside more rumors on old subjects. McCain should bow out gracefully while he still has some dignity. It makes his whole patriotic symbolism of hisself a joke!!!

Obama sticks on the problems, means Obama knows what we are worry about on our daily kitchen table. For GOP, now it's time to worry about our economy future than bother to thinking about how truthfull your lates gossip spreads by your PITTBULL....I thought there is only Husky in Alaska...now I know, Pittbull is also exist there LOL

Why is it that Obama's camp doesn't bring the Keating 5, Troopergate and McCain's houses and cars?

McCan and Palin had a chance to prove how they are going to reform by reforming the final version of the bailout bill with all the earmarks....and guess what they were all BUT mavericks!!

So please, start acting nice so Obama considers a place for Palin in the administration on the energy front, that way, she'll get her shot in 2012. Maybe she'll become a democrat by then and the Republican party will have no future.

oh yeah! btw, that is the only reason that the GOP is sooooo excited about their air-head, they have no one else for the next election lol.. they need a heart (Palin)..cause they are dying!!

When you have nothing to say you say nothing. The McCain/Palin ticket is a unfortunate representation of one of our major American political parties. Reading off of note cards, winking and unbecoming personal attack behavior is not enough. This is a sad day in American governance when that ticket represents one half of the best America can consider. The Obama/Biden ticket certainly have imperfections, but they communicate their proposed programs and policies in an appropriate manner for consideration by the American public.

If that idiotic sidekick so cared for America and was willing to put country first, one would actually think that he would work so hard to show the American people how much he would try to remove them from this mess.........instead he has resorted to the lowest forms of lies and sheer hatred of someone actually trying to make a difference, just so he can win the election and give Americans for more years of the disastrous policies we have seen crumble the worlds financial market

I'll hate to see America lose its world standing with a sidekick and a puppet for president and vice president

Well all know what a female pitbull is called!!

Only an idiot would think Obama is a terrorist sympathizer. And not for one minute was that post made by "Democrats for McCain". You Repubs are soooooooo transparent in your childish efforts to keep the focus off your own desperate, erratic, silly campaign.

Luckily, the American people are waaaaay smarter than you think!

Yah ... you betcha ... by golly ... doggone it … say it ain't so [6-pack] Joe ... 'wink' 'wink'. The corruption of the Christian Republican Church Party never ceases to amaze me.

I thought Sarah said in the debate that the Dems were spending too much time looking back instead of forward. Well the Dems are looking back 8 years and the Repugs are looking back 40!!!! Do they not believe that people can change and turn their lives around? Is that not a Christian belief? Show me proof that Barack has terrorist views or shut up.

THAT"S RIGHT OBAMA STICK TO THE ISSUE... LET THAT TRAILER PARK SARAH MAKE ANOTHER FOOL OUT OF HERSELF

Really? If so, who cares?

The right wing was singing lyrical about Pallin's debate performance. A coordinated effort with those running Mccains campaign to give her credability, so she could get up on her high horse and start spewing bigotry and right wing lies. However they are not facing John Kerry this time, they they are going to get slapped right back.

When it came time for leadership Obama, once again, voted Present. His resonse to his own party leaders in Washington DC was "Call me if you need me." He sat back and waited to see which was the wind was blowing. Obama is not a leader.

What an old man did in the 1970s have absolutely no effect on what is going in 2008! I don't care about a man no one has ever heard of. I care about the economy! I care about the fact that we are spending so much money in Iraq. They have a surplus and our country is falling apart. I will be voting for Obama/Biden this fall.

Allan, you completely blind to the fact of how Bush has run this country to the ground and how Palin and McCain will do the same thing.

I'm so disappointed with McCain for using the same tactics that Bush used against him in 2000. I thought he was above that, and the obvious desperation in his campaign to use such distasteful tactics is sad. No matter how hard I try, I can’t condone this. Palin, Fundamentals of the Economy, Suspension of the Campaign, and now accusations of terrorist ties is just too much to stomach. Thank you Obama for staying on topic. At a time like this it is so important to have smart, clear, and steady leadership.

When you have nothing to say you say nothing. The McCain/Palin ticket is a unfortunate representation of one of our major American political parties. Reading off of note cards, winking and unbecoming personal attack behavior is not enough. This is a sad day in American governance when that ticket represents one half of the best American can consider. The Obama/Biden ticket certainly have imperfections, but they communicate their proposed programs and policies in an appropriate manner for consideration by the American public.

McCain is mentally instable and Sarah needs some mental growth, that couple is very dangerous for America and for the world as a whole. 8 years of a morron in the White House has brought America on her knees inside and outside, economically and politically. America cannot afford a 4 more years of failed policies and lack of vision and understanding.

With the Republicans the regular Americans folks have known only hard time over the last 8 years. Enough is enough.

Change is coming to Washington. This time no mistaken it.

Obama/Biden 08/12.

Everyone take note – we're seeing the historic meltdown of the Republican Presidental ticket. McCain has gone from a respected, decorated war hero who has done good while in office to a desperate, sniveling, whining, sad little man. And at the center of this melt down – Sarah Palin. Instead of McCain picking a running mate who could compliment and enhance his lack of domestic expertise, he picked a woman aimed at only satisfying Rush Limbaugh and crew. An now McCain pays the ultimate tribute to George W. Bush – divert from the issues and turn the campaign into a a nasty smear on character and outright lies. I hope the American people are smart enough to demand the candidates talk about the issues and punish those who don't.

NOBAMA will tell the American people whatever to make them believe that he is a better choice. WAKE UP AMERICA! HE IS THE WRONG CHOICE!

Just look how he spends the money that all of those "blind people" following the "Pied Piper" during this contest to be the next President!

NOBAMA has ties to Ayers, Wright and Resko! Do we want a President that has ties to a know terrorist? I don't!

DO WE WANT A PRESIDENT THAT HAS NO EXPERIENCE? I DON'T!

NOBAMA EVEN HAS LESS EXPERIENCE THAN PALIN HAS IN GOVERNMENT!

McCain/Palin 2008

Hillary Clinton 2012

I completely blame CNN for not reporting on the Facts.

It is time to awake!

Obama is so popular only because people don't know what he really stands for.

He does not have experience, and he is wrong for the country

No Drama Obama vs Erratic McCain, your "McCain/Palin = Unstable/Unable" should be made into a bumper sticker! Great summary!!!

Go to print with it!

Once again... it's the economy stupid. Guess McCain/Palin didn't get the memo.

WHAT HAPPEN TO HER POWER INVESTIGATIONS.

OBAMA08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

system is broken and we need an experienced guy to fix it.vote mccain.we tried a newbie in bush and see what we got.no more on the job training.

Can someone stop Palin and Rove from destroying social security ?

Hopefully,McCain,72, will retire now.

allan.....which world do you live in...4more years of bush....thank God,people like you are minimum to no existence to think bush was a good president.....anybody else no bush nor someone with same doctrine....america deserves much better...please,get yourself informed about your economie,jobs lost,foreclosure,war and etc.....since the guy took office with a surprise

I am hoping that after fooling the electorate twice, McCain's tactics won't work a third time. I am not sure we have seen the worst from McCain. Is this what he wants to be remembered for? Very disappointing behavior. Especially since he was a victim of this sort of low ball campaigning in 2000.

keep the POSITIVE comments coming BARACK-ERS!!!!

we know the truths and we must keep supporting our team in a positive light.
i know the anti-obama supports are the same people paid to blog anti comments but true americans who have been hurting and are longing for something better.
30 days and we will have the most important president of our generation .

CHANGE WE SO DESPERATELY NEED!!! BARACK/JOE 08!

Uh, the nation is already focused on the economy. It is a disaster, and it is the fault of the Republicans who controlled the White House from 2000-2008 and in Congress from 1994-2006. Time for the Democrats to have a shot at it.

With everything that is going on in our current economy, it is pathetic that the McCain campaign feels the only way to win is to revert to the same old fear and smear tactics that President Bush used last time. It's up to the voters not to let this happen again.

Democrats trust McCain: You are not a democrat, what you are is very funny been listening to the Gomer Pyle of the GOP, Keep those funny jokes a comin!!!!!

Did anyone notice McCains congratulatory words for Sarah. I thought between all the Woo-Haas he was about to keel over on the spot. A vote for McCain looks more and more like a vote for Sarah, and she is definitely not ready for prime time.

I don't trust my future with McCain at all.
I am a finance student an I don't think McCain understands the Economy.

I am a life-long Republican now voting Democratic. McCain and Palin, Bush and Cheney, Rove and Limbaugh do NOT represent my America. They represent the wealthy elites, who have been advantaged for too long. The needs of the the many, along with their votes on Nov. 4, will far outweigh the wants and votes of the greedy and corrupt few. Long live freedom and Democracy in this great nation! God Bless America!!!

Keep focused on the issues and keep showing your leadership but also keep in mind that some international crisis will probably happen before the election like it did in 2004. For instance, some unexpected message from bin Laden will be released in the days leading up to election day to remind us of the 'single, biggest threat in the world – islamic extremists'. Then those that THINK that John McCain will be better when it comes to national security will waver. People need to remember two things: the steady leadership that Obama has shown in this economic crisis will serve us well in ANY crisis AND if McCain wins, it's likely that within he next four years it would be Palin, who knows almost nothing on international issues, would be the one that would be in charge.

Time will tell. Obama we got your back

This strategy by McCain to continually tear down Obama's character has to backfire even more than it already has. Who is advising this guy?

McCain/Palin talk trash.

Obama/Biden talk issues.

The choice becomes more and more clear everyday.

"You don't need a Weatherman to see which way the wind blows..."
McCain & Palin are making it almost too easy, don't be lulled 'though, get out and VOTE!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08'

The Gargaryun,
Kansas City, KS

Issues. Issues. Issues. What a novel concept: A politician who is plowing full speed ahead on the issues, not reverting to typical Rovian tactics. Oh wait, McCain's campaign is run by a Rove protege. If we vote for McCain and this hogwash "country first" line, we deserve what we get - deregulated health care, additional wars, and unilateral foreign policy, i.e. the Bush Doctrine, for those of us (Palin) who are aware of its existence.

Obama/Biden, '08

It is not hard to take my focus off the economy. Ilive in GA, a week ago I was driving fifteen extra miles just to get gas and was limited to $25 each time. GREAT!! I commute to Atlanta everyday to work. I expect to recieve my 401K statement in the next month. I will be almost to afraid to even look at it. Thousands of people lost their jobs this month. A 90 year old woman shot herself when sheriffs tried to evict her from her home. Let McCain and Palin go negative, lets see how far it gets them, especially when people have bigger issues to worry about than who Sarahcuda "says" Obama "pals" around with. I think that Michelle Obama would be the better judge to say who Barrack "PALS" around with.

Good to see that republicans approve of Obama's message and focus in this election.

Lifelong Republican for Obama, Columbia, TN

I am a registered republican and so are the rest of my family. We want mccain to run his campaign base on issues and not on negative ad attacks, We all dediced to vote for OBAMA/BIDEN. In a way mccain is cheating because he's putting out negative ads that are totally lies instead of advertising real issues that are important to the middle/working americans. mccain just lost 10 votes from this family.

GO! OBAMA/BIDEN '08

When you have nothing to say you say nothing. The Mccain/Palin ticket is a unfortunate representation of one of our major American political parties. Reading off of note cards, winking and unbecoming personal attack behavior is not enough. This is a sad day in American governance when that ticket represents one half of the best American can consider. The Obama/Biden ticket certainly have imperfections, but they communicate their proposed programs and policies in an appropriate manner for consideration by the American public.

Yes Mc Cain is reckles and that is what we do not need .Specaly seen who he have chosen for VP you see that his recklesnes do not alowe him to think in terms of big picture but is forced to make qick decisions that fit today not thinking how affects tomorow. His life is filed with decisions of that kind. That makes him not being maverick but GAMBLER. Difference is that maverick has a gols,ideals,intentions behinde his actions,but gambler has only urge to REACT (rather than respond or act ) consideering jus moment and wthat brings beneefit .He is Mc Shamles, so away with him and his mistres.

How predictable of the McCain campaign....Rove tactics repeated, when you're woefully short on solutions and talent. Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds". And I might add not just little but shallow and desperate. Go Obama/Biden '08!

please allow me to get as petty as Sarah and John McCain – for God sake, cut that woman's bangs. it was so distracting in the debate -every time she blinked her left eye her hair moved. And that voice – like nails on a chalk board. She kept talking about Biden living in the past – how long ago was that stupid beauty contest? 20 or more years ago?? How long ago was McCain a POW? More than 20 yrs – besides what has he done for the American Vets and or American military since he's been in the senate – nothing – he was a POW he sees nothing wrong with our loved ones being killed – he is a war monger and needs to let go of the past, Sarah. If your son doesn't make it home you've got no one to blame but the republicans.

Seriously people, we need change and we're not going to get it with the same old Republican machine running Washington. There won't be any change – all the programs Palin is wanting to set up for special needs families, etc – Cindy will slap her in a corner and tell her to shut up – she's already had to hand over enough of the spotlight to her and she's not happy about it – Noticed her on stage with Palin, she is not happy! If Palin gets Cindy to the White House then she has no more use for Palin. No one was consulting her and Todd about Michigan. What makes her think her opinion will matter if they get to Washington?

You may not love Obama, but you can't take more years of Republicans in Washington.

When weak people cannot compete, they call the adversary witch, misterious, and any devil-like characters to rise a popular protest and hatrate against him(the advesary). This is what we are seing in the campaign, Mccain calling Obama the antichrist, today his running mate being instructed to call Obama "terrorist"...They will try more just to get Obama's image look antiamerican; they might succeed where people are'nt vigilent. Fortunately Americans are so smart that they know Obama and his vision more than Palin. At the end of the day Mccain will look ridiculous and is just putting stinky skills on his "GREAT AMERICAN" resume

Your fact finder came on national tv and reported the statement made by senator Biden stated McCain said he would not sit down with Spain was false. When if fact it is true. Check out the 1st Pres Debate. I heard it with my own ears. Check you facts.

I am extremely proud how the Obama/Biden campaign is sticking with the issues during this critical time in the U.S. As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words; and the McCain/Palin campaign's actions are desperate and shameful. As a proud North Carolinian, I am pleased that Obama is spending his time in our state before the Tuesday debate. I predict our non-southern democrat, Obama, will turn North Carolina blue for the first time since JFK was elected.

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.

As an Alaska Palin disgusts me. Even though I distrust and dispise the Clintons I would vote for Hillary over Palin for a VP, at least Hillary can think for herself. Never in my life have I heard such an idiot vomit up more Republican Party brainwashing. People who dont know much about Alaska politics would be even more surprised to learn how little power the Alaska Governoir yields. In a state where the federal government and native cooporations control most of the state the Governer is outcasted to the State Capitol thats almost in another country distance wise (and for good reason its in Juneau!). Also the Boroughs are the size of states in Alaska and the Borough Mayors have more say in the day to day goverment affairs then the Governor. As for your big days as the mayor of a 4 minute drive through city, Wasilla also know as the "Armpit of Anchorage" your big contributions there didnt amount to much other then building a sports arena operating in the red and earning the city as the Meth Capitol of the state. Congrats Gov Palin! Now go and out and not answer the questions people ask of you and instead spout out rectoric from McCain and the Republican Party/Bush/McCain/ Pathetic!

please allow me to get as petty as Sarah and John McCain – for God sake, cut that woman's bangs. it was so distracting in the debate -every time she blinked her left eye her hair moved. And that voice – like nails on a chalk board. She kept talking about Biden living in the past – how long ago was that stupid beauty contest? 20 or more years ago?? How long ago was McCain a POW?

You may not love Obama, but you can't take more years of Republicans in Washington.

Steady Obama over Erratic McCain any day!

OBAMA/BIDEN...there's hope in sight!

Of course McCain is erratic. Just look at his actions in the midst of the near economic meltdown we had this past week. Action speaks louder than words.

And for those of you who are talking about Obama being a terrorist sympathizer, DON'T EVEN GO THERE. Do you want the crap about the Alaskan Independence Party and the "first dude" and your beloved Gov. on the highlight again?

are you calling your president terrorist ?

Tucker Bounds just lied to the nation on behalf of John McCain.

According to Bounds, McCain & Palin are going to tell the truth! I wonder when that will start since they have been lying from the word "GO".

McCain/Palin – we can't fix the economy, but we will lie our fool heads off to get you to vote for us.

Can someone please tell this woman that those baseless/tastless attacks didn't work in the primaries and they aren't going to work in the general. Not only that but don't they have any respect for the AMERICAN intelligence, do they think we are that stupid?

Obama, you are a true leader, continue doing what's best for the American people and kick McCain's a.. on Tuesday.

GO, GO, GO for Obama.

PA will always stay BLUE!!!!

It's truly amazing to me that in a nation that claims to be, by many, the 'greatest nation in the world' , we have leaders who lack such integrity and common decency. It would deeply concern me to have an administration that landed in the White House by way of negative attacks that are not just misleading, but simply IGNORANT. The intelligence lacking in this country is outstanding; Thankfully, some of us can recognize good character.

Here's to acquiring good sense in the White House

Obama/Biden '08

Any candidate who's strategy is not to tell you what they can do but deomixe their opponent doesn't deserve a single vote. MCCain is not equipped to present a strategy for today's challenges, he's a Liar with no morals. If elected two things can be sure, one a depression and 2)WW IIII. He doesn't have Presidential tempermentand we'll see one hell of an evacuation from America if this LIAR should somehow win.

I refuse to vote for another candidate who can't pronounce "nuclear." It's "nu-cle-ar", Governor Palin. And I'm not into 6-packs and winking, either.

mccain=keating 5 and connected to men who tried to get rid of America's two party system. The kettle calling the kettle black. Palin= troopergate, abuse of power.

Eye wink eye
Does Palin even know the dictionary definition of what a terrorist is.
Study a lil more and get back with us
What's next----- we are not buyin it
Eye wink eye
oh ya here a big blow kiss at ya

We need Ron Paul.....now

First there was the Georgia drama and photo op.

Second there was the Gustav drama and photo op.

Third there was the fly-in to D.C. to accomplish absolutely nothing but screw up the negotiations.

The only two things McCrypt is consistent on:

We have all seen McCrypt’s Superman suit and it shows his man breasts, his comb over overcombed his Depends pantyline and his limp cape!

McCrypt tells the Poor Old Warrior story for the 4,157,819th time.

Pretty sad when the campaign can be summed up in two lines!

Honestly.. the McStain campaign announcing they want to 'turn the page' on the economic crisis is about as politically damaging to his campaign as publicly declaring that you would attack pakistan.. oh wait..

Mrs. Palin totally disregards the ninth commandment ,

"Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."

It is amazing how these Christians tell lies and have no pangs of conscience. Apparantly the HOLY SPIRIT does not abide in them.

Mrs Palin felt it necessary to have the "spirit of witch-craft" exorcised from her. It is easier to blame some "evil spirit " rather than accepting responsibility for one's own actions.

STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES BUT IT'S THE ECONOMY THAT'S HURTING US. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. OBAMA/BIDEN ARE IN TOUCH WITH THE ECONOMY WHILE MCCAIN/PALIN ONLY USE LIES, WORDS OF DESTRUCTION AND DIVISION WHICH IS A TRUE SIGN OF WEAKNESS AND INABILITY TO LEAD OR ADDRESS OUR ECONOMY. ONE WOULD EXPECT THIS FROM PALIN BUT IT ONLY SHOWS MCCAIN HAS LOST HIS BEARINGS COMPLETELY.

Another turd from the McLiar/Air-like totally! Gosh!-Headed One ticket–no integrity, no policy, no ideas, no brains, no guts, no anything. Nothing to offer the nation. Pretty bad when John "honest" McSame has to resort to these despicable lies to try and win some votes. Someone should remind McShame about his involvement in the Keating 5 S&L debacle. 21,000 elderly people were fleeced out of their savings.

Allan, bat-242–please remember to start taking your meds again and no being boisterous or you won't get any jello!!

His ‘Straight Talk’ motto seems to have no principlies anymore.
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.This is not the MCcain this country once knew.. What a pity..Please vote for real CHANGE with Obama/Biden

"You Obama Talk — BUSH,BUSH. Stop it. The same -BUSH. I love to see Bush 4 more years than 1 day of Obama."

ALLAN you are such a fool. rather than give this guy a chance you would rather risk the same ole politics for another 4 years??????? racism is alive and well because if Obama was an inexperience white guy(George W Bush) he would be crowned victorious today.

CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN
OBAMA/BIDEN 08

You know something, Palin is running for president nor John McCain because he is too old to be president thats why Palin said Palin-McCain administration. And Now Palin is so desperate which way to go. No way, No how and No McCain and Palin.

Obama/Bided all the way

"Obama , Is A Terrorist Sympathizer ."

You should be more worried about your grammar usage than some false charge from a campaign that has become increasingly desperate.

We need Ron Paul.....

As a fellow veteran I am absolutely ashamed with John Mccains new tactics. Trying to use something such as terrorist ties is a VERY SERIOUS accusation. You had better be able to back that up with more than just a weak magazine article. This kind of non-issue, personal attacks only show me more how John Mccain and Sarah Palin are neither ready to lead this country and only ultimately have a seemingly personal goal to make it into the white-house. What ever happen to that STRAIT TALK express?? It seems more like the VAGUE TALK express. I was a registered republican when I watched the Republican National Convention. After seeing a party I didn't recognize, and hearing Palins ridiculous speech, I and my wife went and registered as independents. With such transparent attacks like these, both of our votes has been solidified for Obama/Biden. I only hope more people see through this smoke screen and keep a clear eye on the real issues!

Dan P. (Nebraska for Obama/Biden!)

This is to the Fake"Democrats trust McCAin"–
Sir/Madam, you were and never will be a democrat-
Mr. Ayers is a Professor who had made previous mistakes in his life, but is clean, sober educated member of our society– unlike a lot of you– Mr. Obama is a sound, decent, intelligent, understanding human being who will be the President of our countr– SO BE RESPECTFUL or move to Saudi Arabia (Mr. Bush and McCain have alot of like-minded friends there).

Obama, 08

To Democrats Trust McCain:
I guess you're not going to let facts, evidence, or truth stand in the way of what's obvious – .yes, Sen. Obama is black. You can use whatever excuse you want but you cannot fabricate evidence to support you claim that he is a terrorist sympathizer.

I've seen the emails and know the code words: "over-educated" – whatever that means. "over-qualified" – surely you wouldn't want a President who is highly qualified. "unexperienced." – as opposed to Palin who could be President if McCain should die?

It all amounts to one thing: yes, Sen. Obama is black but you don't want to admit that's the reason you oppose him. He is the best educated, the most qualified, and has 7 years of experience in the IL Senate and taught constitutional law for 12 years. McCain supports the same policies that have practically destroyed our economy and International reputation so I don't care if Sen. Obama is black, purple, green, or turquoise. He's the best choice to be our next President.

Democrats Trust McCain,

And you are no Democrat at all – what you are is a dumb republican redneck simpathizing this dumb bimbo who is less educated than a fifth-grader. By the way, Palin supported separation of Alaska as an independant republic – you didn't know that???. Why don't you educate yourself and maybe teach Bimbo how to pronounce NUCLEAR.
You are so desperate!

The Southcoast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA was swamped with presidential candidate signs, and people for Obama, McShame, and even Ron Paul.

In Carson, there were so many Obama followers that the southwest/east of the center were cover with Obama signs....very few Palin signs were seen....inside the Home Depot Center you can see Obama signs as far as the eye could see on the westside of the center. The east side of the center were McShame/Panick signs. Saturday was exciting. You can hear the boos from the Cal State Dominguez when Panick made the incorrect statement from Mademe Albrechts quote.

"Obama has to put the nation's focus on the ecnonomy, he doens't have much else to run on does he. No experience, prior drug user, has friends who hate America, belittles the military, yep he would make a fine, typical democratic president"

John McCain – got experience on running round on wife- left disable wife for younger woman.
John McCain – don't do drug but it ok if his wife to do drug
John McCain – love America but pick V. P. who husband don’t like America
John McCain – love people just don’t like poor white and poor black.

Who is really putting America First? Maybe by Country first, they mean the "Soveriegnty country of Alaska."

MEDIA \ JOURNALIST: "Do your job and report the facts!" Where is the day light on McCain and Palin's anti patriotic ties? Unlike the Obama smear, the stories I noted have current and very concrete ties.

Do your job and report the truth!

Why is he talking about issues that are important to America? Why is he not rolling around in the mud with John McCain and Sarah (six pack)Palin? Could it be, could one of the candidates actually care about issues and the importance of this election? Good for you Obama, let grandpa and his granddaughter get dirty while you act like a president!!!!!!!!

McCain-Palin are trying to distract from real issues with ridiculous slander. They lie and lie and lie and lie. It is clear that this is what we would have to expect from a McCain-Palin administration. It's ironic that "Straight Talk" has now become a euphemism for bald lying.

They should be ashamed of themselves. I thought McCain was supposed to have honor? I wonder how he sleeps at night.

Mcshame is empty and has nothing to offer. He is tired and worn out.

Obama/Biden08

What? Obama is not trying to focus on the economy. It already is the focus. Obama is just giving us his solutions vs. the McCain/Bush plan while McCain is clearly trying to divert attention away from the economy because he has no solution. McCain is all over the place. He doesn't know what to do. He doesn't have a plan. He says the economy is strong one day and in crisis the next. McCain has no idea what to do. All can do now is try to make Obama look scary by connecting him with people that have already been disproven. How dishonorable is that?

Lets talk about links JM- Charles Keating, need I say more ?

Obama/Biden there is only one choice.

Sound Judgement over so-called experience any day of the week.
McCain's experience has been voting with BUSH majority of the last 8 years. THANKS BUT NO THANKS. It's the economy stupid.

McCain is trying ANYTHING to win. First it was the selection of Palin until people began to realize just how ignorant and unqualified she is. Then he tried suspending his campaign to work on the bailout. This hasn't worked so now all he has left is to resort to personal attacks against Barak Obama. America has had ENOUGH of this. If you can't win on the issues then you just need to accept defeat. McCain is demonstrating his lack of integrity.

Obama/Biden '08

Today i personaly think the world needs Obama more than Obama needs the world.
You can see and feel it all across the world: Obama seems to be the last HOPE the world get at the present time

mccain=leading 5 and connected to men who tried to get rid of America's two party system. The kettle calling the kettle black. Palin= troopergate, abuse of power.

McBlame is a liar. He wrote in his own memoir that he gave information to the Vietnamese during his captivity. That's not honorable. That's not a hero. That's not country first.

Since John McCain has made clear by his actions that he will do ANY dishonorable thing to try to become President for the sake of his ego, it is obvious that, just like George Bush, he would do ANYTHING dishonorable once IN the White House. Heaven help America if those self-described "mavericks" end up our leaders as "Country First" is clearly their LAST consideration.

When will people realize that Bush has led America on a path of self destruction? Why would someone say they would "rather have 4 more years of Bush, then 1 day of Obama?"

They evidently must hate their country, to continue on this path of negligence/ government failure after failure after failure

To bad these people are in the minority =)

All of us here, whether Independent, Democrat, Undeclared or Republican, have been speaking our minds for months. We follow the links to Factcheck.org when needing complete and unbiased info on statements made by both sides (or anyone else slinging mud and feces!).

We are indeed preaching to the choir here as the people who really need to be made aware of the lies, misleading info and general BS, cannot/choose not to use computers, or do not have access, or do not care enough to do research. They believe what the TV tells them-they are sheeple and may surprise us all.

All the talk we have here needs to be disseminated to those who do not ever come here and do not fully comprehend that what they see on TV and hear on the radio is NOT reality: they are advertisements bent in one direction to benefit one cadidate. It doesn't occur to many Americans to not believe what they see and hear...along with the fact that it also never occurs to them to really ask many questions or do any fact-checking.

We here need to talk to those out there and make a point of being able to support our views no matter those views may be.

After much research on my part I support:

Obama/Biden 08-may the gods smile upon us (notice the plural!)

McCain is out of touch with everyday americans he doesnt know the struggles we face everyday he has his 7 houses and 13 cars his retreat and his wife wears dresses more than average person makes in a few months and he thinks we are all doing well..

and Palin there is nothing good to say about her she says she is just an average socker mom. Yea right Lets hope people wise up before election day

You all seem to have short attention spans.............ramble on about the same, name calling etc.

You simply don't know or don't care to know how this crisis came about.

Basically it came about from the smooth talking lawyers in Washington.

Now we have a chance of electing two honest, reliable, hard working people.......who have promised to clean up Washington. And I truly believe they will try.

Depending on what I read it was $6 billion and another source said $200 billion in pork that went into that recovery bill.

It was Nancy Pelosi who excused congress from voting on the oil drilling. Which I feel was an irresponsible action on her part.

All I see here in these blogs from the beginning of this campaign is a lot of nasty name calling.............dirty mouths...........no facts............just excuses and a lot of yellow jounalism..................Just a lot of headline politics..................without an indept understanding.

McCain/Palin 08

Fear-mongering from the Democrats–and I though they deplored such tactics. I guess that's only true if they're not the ones doing it...

New direction? Look again!

I'd have to agree that they are erratic about as much as a moose in a china shop would be.

I'd vote for Tina Fey for VP before I would vote for Sarah Palin. She's no Hillary Clinton.

I am still waiting to hear one word on Senator McCain’s plan to move us out of our economic problems. I have not seen his economic plan which leads me to believe he does not have one. What I have seen is that he 'adopts' Senator Obama’s ideas; which makes me wonder what he will do on his own.

Does Senator McCain have an original plan on changing the economy? What is his plan?

You do the math America.

One man, one vote.

Interesting how Obama tries to push responsibility on to others. Meanwhile his Acorn group pushed and prodded banks to lend this way. He declares more regulation as long as there is no responsibility on his behalf. THIS IS JIMMY CARTER REDUE A VOTE FOR OBAMA. AMERICANS SHOULD PREPARE FOR SPIKING INTEREST RATES, NO TO LOW GROWTH ECONOMY, JOB LOSSES, LOSS OF INNOVATION, SUB-STANDARD MEDICAL CARE. LOSS OF RETIREMENT INCOME, INCREASING GOVERNMENT MEDDLING.

PALIN IS THE PITBULL WITH LIPSTICK AND OBAMA AND BIDEN ARE THE DOG CATCHERS!!!

To the registered Republicans who are now voting for Obama:

I applaud your ability to change your mind. I understand that you may not necessarily agree with the Democrats on social issues, but I am glad that you understand these are not the important issues of the day. Our current economic and foreign policies are destroying the fabric of this country. We may not be able to restore our image to what it once was, but that doesn't mean we should isolate ourselves by failing to try.

Doesn't any of the McCain supporters realize that every recession over the past 91 years has a republican in the white house at it's beginning? Every Single ONE

Doesn't the McCain supporters realize that the last time that we had more than 4 years of government control (Senate, Legislature, and Administration) that we had a major sotock market crash?

Don't the McCain supporters notice the odd correlation between republicans and economic instability?

8/8 recessions: Republican President at the beginning
6/7 stock market crashes over 91 years: Republican as president
1 Great depression: Republican control of government

Shouldn't this tell you something?

You would think that Gov. Palin's ability to bold face lie time and time again would start to bother her and her large family. Considering the focus on family values and her love of Christ that was previously portrayed to us? This ability to lie over and over again should concern us all. Not only is Sarah Palin not honest enough to lead America, she should be impeached in Alaska. I feel very sorry for them now that we have all had the opportunity to meet the liar in charge up there.

McCain is trying ANYTHING to win. First was his selection of Palin until the country began to realize how extremely ignorant and unqualified that she is. Then he tried to pull another stunt by suspending his campaign to work on the bailout. Now all he has is to try and attack Barack personally with these lies and distortions. We have seen ENOUGH

Bat-242 You sure you're not talking about our smirking chimp Prez? Let's see.... smoked pot and snorted cocaine
Bought himself out of the war in southeast asia
couldn't even hang with the National Guard and went AWOL

Yeah, a fine example of his future standing in the word as the most unqualified, unstable excuse to ever bear the title of POTUS.

I can see why you'd be proud of him
Crawl back under your rock and don't come out until you're told to

November 4th is the day where the country will be so proud that a new change is going to take place over the next 8 years.

Obama/Biden

Poor Sahara, Poor McCain instead of focusing in this national crisis, they are trying to find a little something about Obama that can take him down....I believe he was in 3rd grade when the terrorist thing happen. Poor Sahara once again. She is a marionnette. You better respond about the trooper Gate instead and focus on your family. Don't destroy your career like C. Powell with Bush. McCain is ain't worth it, trust me.

Again, The McCain is showing how they haven't really figured out how to deal with the momentum of a country wanting to change course. McCain, regardless of what he says IS a product AND leader of the team that brought us the last 8 years. Resorting to "old school negative" will on be a reminder of what turns people off, we will feel it, it will be a "whaaaaat"??? moment when the ads run, when they are talked about at the water cooler, etc. This was made crystal clear to me by having a conversation with my Father in law last week, a business owner, very successful, and a long time republican, stated at dinner that he has changed his vote to Obama. THAT was shocking. If this is happening in Texas, I think it's happening everywhere. The polls are showing it. Going negative will not change this it will only repel people. McCain could actually repel more republicans and hurt his party even more. Is THAT what he wants his legacy to be?

WHY isn't anyone talking about Palin's family and co-workers ignoring an investigation into her abuse of power. Why isn't the Obama campaign reminding everyone that she is under investigation. Do Americans really want a lying, power hungry woman who ignores her family to go after a job she isn't even remotely qualified to hold.

For all the Reps posing as Dems, the gig is up!!!! Only the most corupt party feels they can post as though a person with a brain would vote for Mc Cain

A question for all Congressmen and women on both sides of the aisle: Why not, when the financial markets are blaming failed mortgages and foreclosures as the culprit in the current crisis, instead of giving a virtual blank check to the Secretary of the
Treasury, do the following:

Give $500,000 to every adult person in the United States. Make it mandatory to pay off those mortgages first of all. This would take care of 95% of the problem loans. In addition, you would be taking one step in history to restore what corporate America has taken from Middle Americans in jobs transferred overseas. You would take a tiny step in doing what the Constitution requires in "Promoting the General Welfare", instead of just promoting the welfare of the privileged. When I observed to a banker friend that I t hought it was immoral to transfer the tax load from the shoulders of the rich to the backs of all AMericans, when Ronald Reagan reduced the maximum income tax rate from 70 % on income over $400,000 where it had been (or higher) for more than 50 years to 28% for everyone making more than $29,750; hr replied: "Dick, in capitalism, there is no morality. The only morality is the bottom line, no matter who gets hurt."
It is high time to demonstrate to our people and the world that we can combine morality with capitalism.
Giving $500,000 to every adult male would insure college education opportunity for every young man and woman in America; prevent seniors from having to choose between buyiing groceries, paying the rent, or paying for their medication. The people in this country who really need a golden parachute are the humble people who have been the glue building and maintaining our society, often working their whole lives at minimum wage, and now struggling simply to exist.
The total cost would be about $180 Billion, and if taxed, the bottom line would be $84 Billion. Since it would pay off the bad mortgages, supposedly the villain in this whole financial crisis, why do the financial markets need the additional $616 Billion?
This suggested action would prove to be a huge stimulus to the economy. Housing, Auto sales, Retail sales of all kinds – these would be a tremendous boon for the Stock Market and the Banking Industry. What more do we need than that?

McCain erratic? that is a compliment the way he has been behaving lately.
His unstable behavior is clearly the early signs of dementia. Check the symptoms.
I used to like the guy, but he is losing his mind.
The desparate avoidance of any substantiative issues by the McCain campaign is getting very disturbing.. especially after he talked the talk about 'no negative campaigning.'
The McCain ship is sunk and Palin is just trying to salvage her career at this point.

this goes to show you that ALL mcbush and mcpalin can do is blame others instead of truly focusing on the people of this country and what we need.

mcbully is all he knows what to do: fight me fight me
mcpalin knows nothing so she has to say whateever, like haay y'all pretending to be britney spears...........

and bat 242 sounds like a bitter old person, (or should i say henetty, limbaugh and other racists, who do not love this country but benefit from the hate and disasters and get pay millions to do encourage hate, discrmination, and bring the bars so low that anyone and I mean anyone with a skirt and lipstick can be VP)...
Bat 242 get a life.

Yes, what matters!!

The "swift-boat" got stuck in a sand bank.

mcblame/failin ticket has nothing to add, nothing to suggest, no solutions accept the same old bad ones therefore they lie, trick, deceive and go negative in hopes that the American people will be stupid enough to fall for it! We fell for it twice already, 2000 and 2004 and we got this horrendous team of stupid and evil and now this dangerous duo wants us to vote for the reverse, evil and stupid! No thank you. NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCBLAME/FAILIN

Re: "Obama , Is A Terrorist Sympathizer ."

First: you don't put a comma between a noun and a verb. Sheesh.

Secondly: if you want to hold Obama responsible for the acts of someone whom he met when Ayers was a professor, on the board of a charity, and widely respected in the Chicago circles in which he ran, then you are not thinking. Obama was EIGHT–8 years old–when Ayers was affiliated with that radical organization. READ and LEARN something before you speak and make yourself sound like an idiot.

Am I the only one who sees the irony that Palin accuses Joe Biden of "looking backward" when he is discussing McCain's recent voting history with the SITTING president–current affairs!–but she is trying to blame then- 8-year-old Obama for the actions of someone he sat on a charity board with forty years later? Seriously, who is looking back? THINK, people. You cannot be so stupid as to fall for this transparent ploy and scare mongering.

Recent history clearly shows that going negative will not work to sway the votes of undecided Americans. Look at the debates for example. Each time a candidate (R or D) goes negative and loses focus of the real issues voters are turned off. Hillary Clinton did the same thing during the primaries and look where she is now... watching from the sidelines. McCain and Palin have become desperate in an attempt to win this election. Several websites based on updated statistics have run 1,000's of simulated presidential elections and McCain / Palin only win roughly 12% of the time because most undecided voters are turning to Obama / Biden on a 2 to 1 average.

I hope for the sake of my family, community and country that Obama is elected president because the ramifications of McCain / Palin winning could be dangerous.

................earth to sarah
................earth to sarah

........to me u r Still in 2nd grade.

How can McCain and Palin expect someone to listen to them when they don't speak on any solutions or possible solutions to the problems we face. I would be ashamed to have a running mate (Palin) who uses terms like "It ain't so Joe" during the debate, would she say "it ain't so" to a foreign leader such as Putin. McCain needs to take a good look at himself and Palin and say "Suspend the election, I quite, I admitt I don't know what I am doing and that this action will save our nation, because Nation First.

BUSH WAS GOING TO SHAKE UP WASHINGTON TOO.

AND HE DID WITH MCGREEDY'S HELP ?

* * ELECT MORONS. GET CATASTROPHIC RESULTS * *

I am sitting here in SHOCK.  Just a few moments ago on CNN Leslie Sanchez,  Republican ‘strategist’  was responding to a Wolf Blitzer question.
She was EXTREMELY precise in her wording.  For example, when talking about McCain she said we are in an economic ‘downturn’, but  while when talking about Obama she used the word ‘crisis’.  Subtle word crafting, but intentional.
 I am appalled what she did next.  While talking about Obama she threw out the following:  “Look, let’s just call a spade a spade here”.
Given her previous precision in word crafting I simply cannot believe this was unintentional.
 The Republicans are now resorting to stoking Racism in an effort to stop the downward slide of their dismal campaign.  There’s no doubt that if confronted, she will claim it as an unfortunate and ill advised choice of words and no Racist offense was meant.  They will use the old standby “People are just taking my comment out of context”.
 I watch these programs expecting a certain degree of Republican spin and talking point nonsense (see Sarah Palin debate footage for a great example) but any reference to Barack Obama as a ‘spade’ is unacceptable.
 Is there any way we can put pressure on CNN to remove Leslie Sanchez because of her apparent racist attitude?  Who can help?
 

"You Obama Talk — BUSH,BUSH. Stop it. The same -BUSH. I love to see Bush 4 more years than 1 day of Obama."

Allan, you have to be a Bush/McSame supporter because you're just as dumb, if not dumber, than both those clowns. Apparently you are someone with money who could care less about the country and the people living in it. Do us all a favor, when Bush finally leaves the White house and moves to the middle east where all his real buddies are, please leave with him. We don't want nor need fools like you here in America, along with all the people who are actually going to vote for Mr. Alzheimer and Mrs. Bimbo 2008.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08 – People who really care about this country...

The truth hurts, McCain! You have been erratic during this entire financial crisis. Personally, I think you're trying to make people forget that you yourself said that you don't know much about the economy.

Obama may have only been in Washington a fraction of the time McCain has, but he has the temperament and judgment to lead us through trying times.

I am completely disgusted with McCain's tactics, he is a true bully... I am scared to think how the rest of the world will view us if in fact he wins...

and I like

McCain/Palin= Unstable/Unable

This is where Senator Obama is gaining ground rapidly, on the economy......he talks to people about the struggles they are having and goes on to explain what he intends to do about it.
John McCain on the other hand talks a lot and tries to look as if knows what he's talking about.....but we all know by now that he does not!!!
Senator Obama has no competition in this election year, the stakes are way too high and the mistakes of John McCain and his party are too great.
If you really want change in this country and it is badly needed.....there is no other choice come Nov.....using slogans...COUNTRY FIRST...REFORMER...I CAN FIX IT...I KNOW HOW TO DO IT.....will just not do Senator McCain, you have been in power for the past 8 years and try as you may to 'say you are different", frankly is nonsense.

NO OTHER CHOICE.....OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Glad to see Obama isn't going to take this thing sitting down.

If McCain/Palin want to start a fight he needs to be able to throw some hard punches himself...(lord knows they gave him plenty of ammo).

This ad made my day...he isn't going to go on the defense, and he won't let McCain take the limelight through lies....

The next 30 days cannot come fast enough for me...

Palin and her husband support the Alaska Independence party. A party that would like to secede from the United States just like the Confederacy during the Civil War. How un-American can you get?

McCain is one of the Keating 5. In an economic crisis that makes him a member of an elite group of criminals who got away with it.

Obama a terrorist sympathizer? Obama un-American? How about McCain's ties to Gordon Liddy? Or about Palin's marriage to a former memger of the Alaskan Independence Party?

The fact is that the McCain/Palin campaign is dishonest and dishonorable. And–thank God–it is failing.

I find it hard to believe ANY major political organization believes we the VOTERS are so STUPID as to be willing to support them when ALL they do is issue statements of slander and NEVER tell us what they are going to do in office.
Obama is telling the world what he will do if elected. Can't say I have EVER heard the same from McCain.

It seems to me that Obama and the Democrats are enjoying the recent financial and economic mayhem, kinda like when they were licking their chops during the toughest years of the Iraq War. Everytime something goes wrong they say, "see? It's all the Republicans' fault!" Right, Pelosi? What has the Democrat-controlled Congress done for me lately (sorry to steal your lyrics Janet Jackson)? They've had two years to try to fix things because, like Obama, they all saw it coming, but did nothing about it! Obama sat on his behind when the markets collapsed but did nothing.... and you liberals call that "presidential?" At least John McCain realized that a speech couldn't fix it all and went back willingly to do his job in Congress.

Mccain is trying now to distract everyone from the economy because he has nothing to offer NOW HE IS REALLY GONNA TAKE THE LOW ROAD NOT THAT HE HASNT THE KARL ROVE PLAYBOOK IS GONNA BE IN FULL SWING AND THEY ARE GONNA USE THEIR BIMBO VP CANIDATE TO DO IT becareful mccain some mud just might come back and stick! Senator Obama its time to get down and dirty MCCAIN KEATING FIVE, MCCAIN MAFIA TIES, CINDY DRUG HABIT STEALING DRUGS, SARA PALIN TROOPERGATE SARA PALIN WITCH DOCTOR PASTOR LETS GO OBAMA NO MORE MR NICE GUY!

You know, it wouldn't be so bad if the McPalin campaign had a solid plan for what they will do for the country.

Time for some reporters to dig into this troopercate scandal in Alaska
bush&cheny/rove have their troops on the ground trying to block this
developing story! They don't want any of this to get out,because in Alaska its an impeachable offense.And they know she is GUILTY as
the sun comes up every day.

Wonder what would happen if Obama asked McCain to join him in dropping the negative campaigning and come together to talk to people about what they really plan to do to make it better for everyone? Do you think McCain would jump at that chance?

Nah....

to Democrats Trust McCain....do you read any further than the headlines on CNN? Probably not.

THIS IS TO YOU NAIVE HATING SUPPORTERS OF OBAMA. OBAMA PROMISES YOU ALL THE WORLD LIKE HE IS THE MESSIAH. YOU MORONS BELIEVE EVERYTHING HE SAYS. LET ME GIVE YOU SOME FACTS IN LIFE. THERE IS ONLY TWO THINGS QUARENTEED IN LIFE AND THAT IS PAYING TAXES AND DYING. THATS WHY MCCAIN DOSN'T PROMISE HE STRAIGHT FORWARD TELLS YOU THAT HE WONT EVER TURN HIS BACK ON YOU. COUNTRY FIRST. OBAMA IS A BIG CON MAN FROM CHICAGO. HE IS A BIG JOKE LIKE HIS HATING SUPPORTERS. ITS TIME TO GET OUT OF THAT FANTASY WORLD WITH OBAMA AND COME TO REALITY. YOU WANT YOUR COUNTRY SAFE ,VOTE MCCAIN. YOU WANT MORE TERROIST INVITATIONS ,VOTE OBAMA. NOVEMBER IS DEADLINE, DONT MAKE IT D DAY FOR OUR COUNTRY.

Prior perception: This woman has effectively removed all “blonde” jokes from the public stage.

New perception: It is now time for brunettes to ascend to center stage!

Thank you Global J for that comment

I was ALMOST surprised when I saw the news article about Ayers-again-Obama was 8 YEARS OLD when the guy was a terrorist- are we going to hold all 8 yr old then accountable for this- how old was Palin then-4 or 5?
The point is I need to see an increase in jobs and less taxes for me, because i need it, not because I want it. I need to believe my president is cool-headed enough to step back and think in a crisis. I don't want a friend as president, I don't want someone like me to be president, I want a person who can look at the world and say I think I can fix it. I think the people, given a chance, can fix it.

SURE WE TRUST MCGREEDY.

WE LOVE THOSE THAT MAKE US POOR & FRIGHTENED.

WE ELECTED BUSH TWICE. WHATS ANOTHER 4 YEARS ?

McCain has been a thorn in Bush's side since Bush came into office. Americans are not stupid enough to buy this ongoing attempt by the Obama camp to say 4 more years of the same. McCain is no Bush. Is this all Obama has to offer the American people? Dishonest name-calling and backwards thinking?

The economic problems America faces are a result of the Democrats in the do-nothing congress. If the Democrats had listened to McCain Fannie May and Freddy Mac would be doing just fine. Democrats often listen to McCain, look at the Kennedy-McCain Immigration Reform. Brilliant lawmaking shoved under the rug by partisan Democrats who were not willing to share the praise. Partisan Repubs in Washington hate McCain. Saying he is 4 more years of Bush? Get real.

Maybe Obama should focus on actually providing solutions instead of empty rhetoric. OBAMA HAS NOT SAID WHAT HE ACTUALLY INTENDS TO DO ABOUT ANYTHING. More committees and more government bureaucracy are the only things he has promised. That is not a SOLUTION.

A celebrity president who only knows two things: voting present and voting the way he is told? No thanks. That is change of the worst kind.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Anybody who was taken in by Bush and then turns around and votes for McCain and the same policies deserves what they get. I'm deeply concerned for this country and the rest of us who are trying to live with their misjudgements.

Anyone with an ounce of concern for this country should be able to see that they way out of this mess we in, isn't to vote for four more of the same.

Not only is McCain another 4 years of Bush, but he is trying to mislead and win this election by stealing ideas from Obama while he trashes him. Aren't you tired of hearing from Obama what he will do; and hearing from McCain what Obama will do. Time has run out on McCain telling honestly what McCain will do. McCain says country first. I DON'T THINK SO!!

Do you know who were the only ones to leave the USA the day after 9/11 when all air space was closed?
Yes, you guessed right...Bin Laden family....approved by whom? and why?

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."
- Julius Caesar

McCain's buddy Bush is a bigger terrorist than anyone. At least Ayers never tortured anyone in the name of the United States.

Lincoln is and will always be known as the best president of the US, and 95% of polls throughout the years have proven that no one comes close to him. Not a single pull with him out of the top 5, most of them him being the best. On topic though...

McCain ONLY has the war to run on Bat, which is funny, because there are 500 families that want to know what happened to their fathers, husbands, and brothers in Vietnam, when McCain has sealed all of the details about what happened because if that gets exposed, the fact that he purposely bombed schools and innocent communities in Vietnam when he was a pilot.

He rather himself look bad, and he had the chance to expose this information and save 500 lives, and instead let them all die. It was the failure of the McCains, Nixon, George HW Bush, and other high ranking officials through the times that hid the facts of what happened over there, and that half of the POWs were never released (over 500 people never release), and many were worked to death, tortured to death, and the rest were later executed once Vietnam realized that the US was not going to fork over the $4 billion that was promised to them if the war would end.

McCain let too many people die to hide his disgrace. If you really want to get that man fired up, just ask him, 'how do you think your father feels about your disgraces in Vietnam?' Now that would be interesting to see McCain's reaction.

Talk about anything other than the consequences of Deregulation on the economic mess we are in at the moment...

Why does CNN spend so much focus on Palin and McCain. Is this an underhanded way to show support for them?

What is a terrorist? Somone who wants to destroy the United States...the key is the 'united' part. Uh, isn't Paiin the one who glowingly welcomed the secessionist group? That, my friends, is someone who wants to destroy these 'United' States.

I do not believe, in these trying times, any voters will buy into the propaganda John McCain espouses. These are serious times...

I was a lifelong republican but early in this campaign I rejected John McCain's because his version of "STRAIGHT TALK" is nothing but hateful and ugly attacks !

The last straw was John McCain's pick of Sarah Palin who is, in my opinion, nothing but an incompetent and feeble gimmic – so much for "AMERICA FIRST"? Who's kidding who?????.

I am not only voting for Obama/Biden, but every democrat that is running in my state and changing my party affiliation to DEMOCRATIC. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

John McCain has some serious mental disorders and Sara Palin is a two bit hooker being pimped all over America by the GOP. Read the Enquirer they got the goods on little miss goody 2 screws.

It was the Democratics in power that forced Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to take on risky loans in 1999. And when the Republicans sounded the alarm all the democratics voted against bringing it to the house floor. Since they had a majority it failed. A year later McCain was part of another attempt to bring the bill to the attention of the congress, but yet again, the democrats and their need to fill their campaign pockets (Obama 121,000 from FM/FM) and their belief that everybody should be able to get a loan whether they could afford it or not. Yes it was the greed of wall street and banks, but it was the stupidity of the democrats in power that put us in this financial crisis.

Not going to work for McCain/Palin. They're desperate/erratic. Stick a fork in 'em; they're done.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

McCain seems to riding on the skirt-tail on Palin. How sad!. Remove the one and only thing that has been able to energized his campaign and McCain is nothing. All of his life he's needed to cling to "so called beauty queens" to boost his ego and his need to control. He walked away from his wife because she no longer could fulful that need.. The man is
unstable, unable, and suffers from "PMS" (Pathetic Male Syndrome)

PLEASE vote NO to the GEEZER/GIDGET ticket as someone earlier said. McCain has ADMITTED that he doesn't know much about economics (and probably doesn't care to). He's only interested in war-making.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!!

McCain/Palin= Could be worse than Bush TERM.

Stop censoring me CNN – I'm not offending anyone.

Thank you Sarah !!! After 45 years of having to listen to a republican mother-in-law, she called last night and said she's not going to listen to any more lies from her party. Just in time, too. She's switching to DEM tomorrow – the last day to "register" (although she's only officially switching parties)!!

Thank you Sarah!!!!

Wow, it seems no one does ANY research about their candidates! How in the heck is Obama a terrorist sympathizer? Honestly, tell me where you're getting this crap from. Bat-242: So? Bush has a DUI and got arrested at a football game for disorderly conduct! How do you get arrested for disorderly conduct at a sporting event? Everyone's disorderly. He must of tried really hard. I love the part where McCain/Palin are stealing Obama's message of change. Jeez, Republicans love stealingi n general it seems, stealing from tax-payers is one thing, but stealing from your opponent's campaign? That's a new one.

Its clear the mccain camp has nothing left but crazy lies, and BASE tactics. I thought they were told that us independents are not interested in high school rumors, we want facts and solutions, why cant he get that? At this point in the game all the scare tactics are done, we are not interested in that anymore. McCain lost his chance to turn this around, its over, he lost my vote during the VP debate. She was well reheared and completely condisending and fake. HORRIBLE job.

McCain/Palin are not good for America, or the world. How bad must things get before you republicans admit that Bush/Cheney, and followers have brought America down to the lowest level of my lifetime. McCain/Palin want to continue this downward slide with their policies of lowering taxes for the rich, sending more jobs to China, and caring not at all about the majority of Americans. The world community has seen more than enough, and our friends have doubts about the USA.The whole world is not wrong...the republicans of Bush/Cheney, McCain/Palin are wrong.

At least two people are sane in this campaign.
Obama/Biden are trying to talk about what America
wants and needs.
Mccain/palin are talking lies, distortions and attacks.
Now, voters, who is best qualified to lead our
country.
No contest.
Obama/Biden
ENOUGH!!

NOBODY MENTALLY STABLE TRUSTS MCGREEDY

AND HIS SECOND PLACE MIS. ALASKA, WINK, WINK.

TRUE THEY WILL COME IN SECOND PLACE, THOUGH.

Senator McCain/Gov. Palin:

Could you tell us something that we haven't heard so far from your campaign, like how are you going to fix the economy, how are you going to create new jobs and how are you going to improve our image abroad?

i think BOTH parties should get their act together & stop calling each other names like a bunch of babies & get to work on telling us what they are going to do to make this country right again. the issues are to important to be playing games. TELL US SOMETHING WE NEED TO KNOW.

Ya sure, ya betcha dat Palin lady is full of cow manaure. Dat John McCain feller don't know da difference between Lutefisk and Leftse, by golly!!

Heck of a note!!!

Absolutely right! America will loose its position in the world if the damage done to its economy by The Republicans is not corrected on time; things are getting out of hand but thanks to The Dems that helped in getting the bail out issue resolved. Only the Dems are capable of turning things around...Americans better forget about John McCain with Sarah and face the reality of what Barack will bring to The White House and America as a whole.
To claim to be the world's only super power, the economy must not be gloomy, America need someone intelligent to handle this, and to the Glory of God, you have Barack on hand......America is sincerely Blessed for having Barack Obama.

MCCAIN IS TRYING TO BE A LEADER IN THESE DIFFICULT PERILOUS TIMES WE'RE LIVING IN. OBAMA IS A FOLLOWER HE IS TRYING TO DUPLICATE THE LAST EIGHT OF PELOSI/DEMOCRAT COGRESS YEARS.

And anyone with half a brain would realize that neither Obama or McCain have the brains to deal with it. What poor choices we made during the primaries.

Go – Obama /Biden – Caution, Judgement , leadership and Responsibility.

Down – McCain/Palin – Les, tricks, desperation and unstableness.
Winks and two liners don't do it for me.

Obama better worry about all his anti-american friends. We are.

The Great Depression was caused by the bust of speculators’ boom and a rapid contraction in the money supply. The President and Congress then magnified the problem by erecting trade barriers, increasing taxes, dramatically increasing regulation of the economy and rising government spending. Does this sound familiar? Because it seems that Obama wants to try all these policies again. Unless one learns from history, they are doomed to repeat it.

These are dire times and it would be wonderful if all of the bloggers would use spell-check before hitting the submit button. Cheney is not spelled "Chenny" and "I" is capitalized. All CAPS distract from the words you are
trying to say, as does sloppy punctuation.

If you want to get your point across, try to sound intelligent yourself. We are entitled to our opinions - but to woo the other side, you have to make people believe that you are smart, too.

And, yes, I am voting the Intellectual/Experience ticket versus Geezer/Gidget.

I'm Diane and I approve this message.

I'm just amazed at the lengths the McCain/Palin campaign will go to–right out in the open. I expect the 'terrorist', etc. stuff from the 527's (or whatever they are called), but not from the mouth of the VP candidate. It is shameful–and though I've seen many elections (my first vote was for Kennedy) and even was a young Republican in my high school days, this name calling from the candidates is about the worst I remember–and all on one side.

What an insult to the American people, the McCain/Palin campaign is. They are so up to their armpits in lies and slanders they are totally ignoring the issues, not to mention insulting the people of this country's intelligence. I want a leader ,not a school yard bully. I'm voting Obama/Biden!!

Obama deals with issues, McCain and Palin launch untrue character attacks. Johan and Sarah are meant for each other.

Naah, McSame is not erratic. Saying he wants what is best for the country and then naming a totally unqualified individual, with no national experience, as his VP is not erratic. Saying he must suspend his campaign and cease debating because of the financial crisis, and then going to DC to do nothing but worsen the situation, and then returning to the campaign trail to debate is not erratic.

McSame has shown his true colors. McSame is showing signs of dementia. McSame is a war hero, but McSame is not fit to be President.

To Bat 242: What about an adulterous old man, thief (Keating5) old man who cries at mention of Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan and would love to take you back to those easier times. Old man yelling at the clouds and ready to pull his pistol if one is out of formation. Oh yes that is the man to lead this country along with the "pitbull" moose hunter hockey mom. You are so uninformed and hatefull.

Gosh darn it, that awesome Obama is pals with terrorists and I'm gonna tell the people that we mavericks are gonna shake up Washington and stop those terrorists and their friends, saying never again to uppity terrorists pal lovers . . .

So how's your 401 K, America?

Hey, the person who say's your a democrat who trusts McCain.....

YOUR AN IDIOT!!!!

THE MORON & VICE-MORON NOMINEES WOULD LIKE

US TO FOCUS ON THE SEX LIVES OF BIRDS IF POSSIBLE.

NOT A BAD IDEA IF YOU HAD THEIR RECORD & IQS.

Senator McCain, in March you said that you were not going to run a negative campaign, but you lied! You used to be a hero now you look like a big fat zero. It's sad that a "maverick" like you didn't even pick your own running mate! I think all Americans want and need a president that shows grace under fire. That man is PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!

I am a female free-lance musician living in Columbus Ohio. I have my DMA from the Florida State University, and I teach at Otterbein College near Columbus. As an adjunct at that school, I am not provided health insurance. I am also a free-lance musician, and have been working steadily with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra for several years. This has supplemented my income enough to make a basic, decent living, but our orchestra has been out of work for 7 months now. The reason for this was financial problems, and a board and local government that basically doesn't care...especially in light of the disaster that our economy is in.

I was just watching CNN where you had two female pundits, and I wanted to throw up. Quite frankly, and I'm sure I'm not alone here based on my conversations with nearly everyone, If I got a check for 5 thousand, I'd use that money to help with my finances. I'm pretty young, and basically no health problems...Yet. But that is what I'd do with the money...

Maybe this is awful for me to say...but it does seem that the women that McCain has on his side are awfully pretty. This pundit on his side that I was listening to...pretty. Sara Palin...pretty. Honestly, I'm sort of wondering why McCain didn't ask this woman to join him as his VP. At least she's clearly intelligent...however misguided.

Mostly...all I feel these days is a gigantic sense of yick. I hope Obama wins...it's the best thing for us all.

I am disgusted with the McCain smear tactics. I Hope that the Obama's camp continues to focus on the issues and qualifications of the opponent and not attack McCain's character.

Looks like Obama is sticking to the issues while McCain is resorting to THE SAME old dirty politics... What kind of reform and change is that Gov Palin?!!!!

Have you noticed lately that the CNN ticker allows comments on some ticker articles but not others? Have you noticed that some articles allow several hundred response posts while others allow only a dozen or even less before closing to posted comments?

Why is that, CNN?

Obama is the true leader. Sticking to the issue that is worrying America instead of "attacking the other candidate's judgement and character".

Go Obama/Biden 08!

I find it interesting that a guy with ZERO experience will become President because of the MY SPACERS who don't even know the basics about politics. And these idiots are voting the way they are because Linday Lohan told them to vote for Obama.

There should be a test to make sure you understand how are political system works.

By the way(if you watched lastngith), even the liberal biased Saturday Night Live understands that this economic crisis exists because of Democrats. All these yahoo children on this site continue to cover their ears and yell "George Bush". If you had any clue you would know that R's tried to curb fannie and freddie in 05. But the Bidens and Obamas voted against it.

Clinton made legal mortgaged backed securities, not GW.

I hope we don't end up screwed with a guy who has never accomplished anything politically (Obama). And if so, maybe you won't take political advice from celebrities!

This is what an election should be about. The issues facing this country are what matters. But I would love for some 527 group to put out an ad calling Palin a liar for making up false accusations.

So, "Democrats trust McCain": Are you going to provide some facts? Any facts? Or are you just going to spew the bile that the RNC feeds you?
Trying to be civil and rational during this election has gotten us nowhere apparently if these clowns can continue this stuff.

Erratic in Crises???? Look who is talking. Obama can't even step up to the plate and give a precise opinion without talking to his advisors.
What would happen if he has to make a decision immediately?? Sure it is good to talk to advisors but one would think that if he wants to be the President he should be able to respond indepentely he is the one that is erratic in crises. The recent Georgia issue is a prime example of his inability to respond. Obama campaign throws around some so called facts that are not all together true, Check the voitng record of McCain as mentioned by Biden in the recent debate, at least two or three he cited were incorrect. Why doesn't CNN post those errors???
I am betting CNN won't post this comment, any anti Obama posts get dumped....

The erratic person in this election is barack Obama - he is lying to the American Public about his tax plans ( US cannot afford it); The ending of the War on a fixed schedule (he will follow the advice of his millitary on the ground – dame as McCain); and his health care plans (cannot afford it). Obama's economic plans will increase our deficit, devalue the US Dollary against all other countries thereby increasing the cost of imports and devaluing the cost of exports. This will, in turn, wil cost thousands of jobs -

There is no reason for Americans to start thinking that they have their act together and that a person with experience would guarantee to steer the country back in control. Americans are discouraged, tired, hopeless and need to be re-energized by a lively young person willing to take on the challenges of this country. I believe Obama will help us recover from losing hope in ourselves. Since when does America's economy, security, stability feel threaten than now. I mean we are about to lose the "power house" "No.1" status in the world people....we dont want to be set back again! Its time for a new strategy! No more 8 years of disappointment and false hopes! God Bless America and God bless Obama! I've been republican 12 years and no more...i say no sir...no more!

The McSame camp has run out of bullets & is throwing the gun. Every time John & Sarah lie, slander & divert attention, they show yet again how they have nothing to offer the American people. Rather than lead towards a positive solution, all they do is make ugly attacks against Obama proving yet again & again how they are not qualified, competent or deserving to be the president & vp.

I'm glad to see Obama is keeping the focus on what is important...the economy & the issues. I don't agree with Obama on everything but he's so obviously the better choice... intelligent, educated, diplomatic & FOCUSED.

Women of America – WAKE UP! You cannot get even by supporting Palin. There are any number of US cities with population over 660,000. Austin, Memphis, Milwaukee are some. Does that qualify their mayors to be VP? Of course not! Just because the GOP has a woman running for the 2nd highest office in the land, doesn't mean its a good thing. Can't you find another way to get your ideas across without just blindly voting for a party because they have a woman on their ticket. Ms. Palin will not accomplish what you think she will. She's just not qualified! Plain and simple! There are hundreds of other more qualified women McCain could have chosen. Its just ludicrous and it certainly is making our gender look stupid and spiteful. Certainly not looking out for the welfare of our great nation.

Republican then, undecided now October 5th, 2008 12:16 pm ET

I have always voted republican because of my shared views with the ticket as they relate to right-to-life, gay marriage, and fiscal responsibility. I have come to realize that these issues however, should not be the guiding principle and who I cast my lot with, particularly given the current market conditions. McCain and Palin's decision to ignore the issue and not develop clear strategies to confront the economy is troubling. Linking Obama to terrorists is beyond a reach, it is shameful. I will vote for the Obama/Biden ticket this year.
====================

you sound like a paid Obama blogger to me!

I was so upset about Sarah Palin's distortions (aka lies) that I couldn't go to church today. How can someone who claims she is a born-again lie so blatantly. Last time I went to church (last week), I checked my Bible and "Thou shalt not lie" was still one of the Ten Commandments.

On other subject, an elderly gentleman came up to me yesterday while I was doing voter registration. He told me that Bill O'Reilly had stated that women don't like Sarah Palin because they're jealous of her. Get real. I don't like her because she is destroying the work I did in the Federal Government proving that women were as competent as men.

Recent comments and actions from the McPalin camp show how erratic and dangerously unpredictable John McCain really is: He pulls out of Michigan without even consulting his vice-presidential candidate and now sends her to play the nasty rumor-monger to direct attention away from what everyone really cares about: the economy.
On the other hand, Obama still manages to remain focused on the issues that really matter: the economy and the future of our country.
Who is putting "country first" now? Not John McCain.

Open your eyes Obama supporters... Your Democrat controlled Congress has done nothing.

mccain palin just DON'T GET IT, "ITS THE ECONOMY STUPID!

McCain seems to riding on the skirttail on Palin. How said. Remove the one and only thing that has been able to energized his campaign and McCain is nothing. All of his life he's needed to cling to "so called beauty queens" to boost his ego and his need to control. Then walked away from his wife because she no longer could fulful that need.. The man is
unstable, unable, and suffers from "PMS" (Pathetic Male Syndrome)

Mccain and Palin are a joke. he knows he has no plan for the economy or Health plan palin is just plain irresponsible, no knowledge of anything and she has childeren she needs to attend to. She should pay more attention to her pregnant daughter and her newborn baby who has down syndrome. she drags them all over the place and I don't think that's a good idea. she is a heartbeat away from the presidency and she is clearly not ready. please america wake up mccain has shown poor judgement in choosing her. we all know why he did it was for political reasons only. clearly by her debate with biden shows that she could not answer any questions and she decides I am not going to answer that. If the vp was a man this would be a totally different ball game mccain is very angry and i can see it. he has shown erratic behavior and now wants to go negative and destroy obama's character why is not talking about the economy and his healthcare we know why he has none.
mccain and palin what a joke

connections? oh please Palin your own HUSBAND tried to succed Alaska from the union or have u forgetten and YOU backed him FACT.

As Joe Friday said "Just the facts", that's what we need to hear.

Vote Early

So many more Americans are going to vote look at the problems in the primaries–not enough ballots, not enough voting machines, long lines, not enough poll workers.

Check your state and where you can cast your vote=EARLY

Do any of you think for yourselves or have you been too busy learning all of Obama's talking points. Take a long look at your candidate. Not to do so will be the end of democracy and socialism will reign over the USA.

McCain/Palin08

What a distraction to a real crisis, no wonder Senator Obama is leading. he is focusing on real concerns. My mind is now made up.
To see the McCain/Palin ticket not care of enough to find solutions–they would rather pretend it doesn't exsist.

Don't want to deal with it or no plan lets go on the ATTACK and change the subject--just as was seen in the VP Debate.

America is hurting and it is serious! I will also place my vote in the steady hand! Sorry Palin Thanks but NO THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good positive ad, something mccain cannot do.

Obama/Biden 08'

Of course Obama wants to focus on the economy after his poll numbers tanked.

Bad Economy = Vote Democrat

That's why the Democrats in Congress and the Media have over hyped this financial crisis. I work in the financial services sector and it's NOT THAT BAD!

I JUST DON'T SEE HOW ANYONE LIVING ON THIS

PLANET COULD'VE MISSED IT. BUT THEN THEY

DID ELECT BUSH. BUT THEN WE HAVE MORON

& VICE MORON NOMINEES BLAMING THE STARS,

THE TREES & THE DEMS FOR THEIR OWN POLICIES.

HOW MUCH LYING CAN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BELIEVE ?

it is polite to say " out of touch " in reality McCain has zero idea what the real people are going through in these times, and he will change NOTHING!

How can anyone want more of the same?Haven't the leadership of the Republicans damaged the country enough.They blame the Dems for the mess when they have only a very slim edge in the Congress for less than two years and a President who vetos all their bills.Clinton on this worse years in the White House didn't do to us what Bush has done.If you want to have a beer with C average Palin and Mc Cain please feel free to vote for them.I choose brains over ignorance any day.

10 years tax from Palin ... please!

WHY DON'T YOU GET IT? The more negative the ad, the more determined we are not to Vote for the McCain/Palin ticket.

Bat-242 – Obama has to put the nation's focus on the ecnonomy, he doens't have much else to run on does he. No experience, prior drug user, has friends who hate America, belittles the military, yep he would make a fine, typical democratic president

First of all Obama is keeping the focus on the economy because it is the number one issue to Americans in the polls. Also because it is obvious if you have a brain that the basis of the Republican economic plan is the reason why we are in the mess we are. By removing the regulations and oversight anywhere and everywhere they could they put the foxes in charge of the chickens. These policies do not work now and they did not work before. 3 presidents in history had the debt go up from when they took office to when they left office. All three Republicans. And before you say it has gone up for all of them you might be interested to hear the the last two Democratic Presidents saw a drop in the debt. Yup, Carter even had a decrease and of course Clinton had a dramatic turn around on the debt and a decrease. (Do you hear yourself?)

Experience: I will take the intelligent guy who has actually done reform and has an incredibly well thought out plan to fix our problems. I will take the guy with the experience to do things right the first time instead of react late or never at all (IRAQ) to his mistakes. I will take the guy who has been ringing the bell of economic crisis for years. You can stick with your experienced leader who thought one day the economy was wonderful and then a week later said we were on the brink of a great depression. (Do you hear yourself?)

Drug user: Are you sure you want to open that can of worms with the history of your beloved GWB or with Cindy's recent problems. The truth is you are not telling any secrets here. Obama came out with this story himself very early on and it was something from when he was a youth. Do you think that really matters at this point? (Do you hear yourself?)

Friends: So i am guessing even you have had friends over the years and like myself I am sure some of them turned out to not be what you thought they were. Some of them maybe changed over time. So what you are saying is if someone who was a friend of yours at some point......commits a crime later on......that makes you a criminal too? I have not told a lie or any crime other than speeding in 25 years. But, by that reasoning I guess since people i know have i am now a convicted criminal too or at least i PAL Around with them. (Do you hear yourself?)

Turn off Fox News for Gods sake!

You know, if there was really something to these latest crazy attacks from McCain / Palin, why didn't they bring them to our attention months ago?

What next, ads whispering to us that Obama's father was from (shudder!) Africa??!!

Why does McCain/Palin think maverick is such a great thing? Iran, as a country, is maverick. They aren't going along w/ the rest of the world on the nuclear issue, but pursuing their own agenda. Iran doesn't listen to others - Is that what we can expect from McCain/Palin?

Obama is a raving socialist.

Change? Yeah, he wants to change our country into a Marxist society.

You people who are living on his every word are fools. This guy has done nothing significant in his entire career. Your vote is being bought by clever marketing, for a man you know nothing about.

Obama will never be my leader. That scum.

McCain/Palin 2008

Sooooo, who's lookin' backwards now, you hypocrite in lipstick!

Btw, what's your involvement with the stonewalling in Alaska's "Abuse of Powergate?"

We'll be waiting and watching on Oct 10th…

You betcha, change is coming….and it begins on Nov 4th!

Republican then, undecided now – wow! I wish more republicans were as open minded and enlightened as you!

Just keep at it Barack so you can drown out the empty headed words of Sarah "the idiot" Palin.

McCain has been a thorn in Bush's side since Bush came into office. Americans are not stupid enough to buy this ongoing attempt by the Obama camp to say 4 more years of the same. McCain is no Bush. Is this all Obama has to offer the American people? Dishonest name-calling and backwards thinking?

The economic problems America faces are a result of the Democrats in the do-nothing congress. If the Democrats had listened to McCain Fannie May and Freddy Mac would be doing just fine. Democrats often listen to McCain, look at the Kennedy-McCain Immigration Reform. Brilliant lawmaking shoved under the rug by partisan Democrats who were not willing to share the praise. Partisan Repubs in Washington hate McCain. Saying he is 4 more years of Bush? Get real.

Maybe Obama should focus on actually providing solutions instead of empty rhetoric. OBAMA HAS NOT SAID WHAT HE ACTUALLY INTENDS TO DO ABOUT ANYTHING. More committees and more government bureaucracy are the only things he has promised. That is not a SOLUTION.

A celebrity president who only knows two things: voting present and voting the way he is told? No thanks. That is change of the worst kind.

ANY ONE EVEN THINKING FOR MC CAIN PALIN ARE EITHER BRAIN DEAD OR VERY STUPID. BUT WITH THE REPUBLICANS IT IS NEVER ABOUT AMERICA, IT IS ALL ABOUT THE PARTY. WELL WE HAVE SEEN WHAT THIE PARTY HAS DONE FOR US IN THE LAST EIGHT YEARS. AND MC CAIN HAS LOST WHAT EVER HONOR HE HAD. THEY ARE RELYING ON LIES AND DECIETE TO TRY AND WIN.

McCain has nothing to do now other than try to make degative adds,
he can't come up with any promises, other than Bush. His goose is cooked!

What a headline! TRIES to focus? What about "maintains focus". It's not like no one wants to talk about the economy.

While our nation is in economy crisis McSame wants to turn the page on the "economy"? how stupid do these people think we are?

This is a great ads but I think Obama can make it even better by point out how McBush is trying to say that he's different than Bush but won't even try to run a different campaign.

Republicans for Obama 08

What kills me most, is that the McCain campaign surrogates are out calling Obama a liar....using those actual words...

Just remember McCain, Palin and your surrogates....
"When you point a finger at Obama, there are 3 fingers pointing at you."
McCain and the Keating 5, Telecom, Andrew McCain and the Silver Bank closing 1 month after he resigned from the Accounting board, Palin and Troopergate, Rape kits, Road to Nowhere, another Bridge to Nowhere, Witchcraft...etc....................

WE wont be swiftboated this year.......We are a smarter America!!!!

Obama , Is A Terrorist Sympathizer , Always Has Been , Always Will Be !!!!!

The best thing about this election year is that the problems caused by the sitting administration is being revealed while they are still in office. There's nothing the GOP can do about it.

Now I'm off to to help turn Virginia blue by knocking on doors.

Keep telling the truth.

It's what we want to hear.

We are proud of you!

Funny how one side wants to focus attention on the economy and the other doesn't. Wonder where the undecided voters (like I was until two days ago) will look?

Mccain and his leashed pitbull are desperate...They can not speak to the issues so they TRY to change the subject...to personal destruction...and dirty politics...Mccain is the same a Bush...He voted to raise taxes 106 times...His only topic is WAR WAR WAR...and in that he was a collaborater in 3 days with the Vietcong....Made 30m tapes and was treated with defference by them after he broke in less than a week...

McSame/Palin are air heads!

I am a devout Republican. I have never voted Democratic until now. John McCain has proven to be an empty shell of lies and deception, just like Bush. I am ebarrased and ashamed about having been fooled into voting for Bush back in 2000,2004. NEVER AGAIN, will i fall for the fear campaign. My children and their future is too important to me to vote on ignorance this time around. While Barack Obama is not perfect, he has surrounded himself with experienced leaders hwo will take back this country and put it back on the right track. I am completely convinced of this.

My fellow Republicans, if you truly care about your children and grandchildren, there is only one way to vote this election.. The Democratic ticket and Barack Obama.

Dozens of my Republican friends have already made the switch to the Democratic ticket and Im sure many more will before the Nov election.

We care more about our children and country than we do about an empty hollow Republican ticket full of embarrasing lies and deceptions..

To think that voters would reject Obama because of some tenuous "seven-degrees-of-separation" connection to some 60's radical and yet embrace Sarah "my husband was a member of a party calling for the secession of Alaska from the U.S." Palin would be absolutely laughable if they weren't spending U.S. tax dollars to do it.

Hey McCain. Suspend your campaign, return your campaign funds to the Treasury, and go chase those kids out your yard.

Two words for McCain: Keating Five

OUTRAGE! what the heck do these people thing we are?fools?i am a republican, i liked Mccain but i am at this point left wioth no option than to go OBAMA. I know it is not strenge to politic in a time like this but htis is not the time. We criticise him of his eradic moves last week, he did not listen, he criticised him of his all porpulous stance instead of countering them with a plan he still does not get it.why then should any republican be proud to speak? Our conservative values are being strench and Mccian is now even more of a radical than a liberal so why should a trust him since he said he is not running as a republican but as Mccian.Know what?i think the charge Mcsame is not sufficient enough Mcworse than Mcsame.No vision of r the nation, no economic plan , no plan for Iraq and yet he wants more to go and die over there?what are we gaining?He should be ready to go to the heel of Pakistan and Afganinstan and get this guy.why can he not prove he is able to do that?He is lost in the middle of all things.Verdict he doesn't get it.I go Obama he gets it and i need releave not hate or lies.we need change and honesty on the political scene is part of it.
Why should Obama pay for the sins of Ayers when the fact is the thing happened when Obama was 8 years.As a young white guy i say racism is not part of our generation and i think Mcain should have learned from Paris Hilton.

To Allan, Why do you hate America so much? Four more years of Bush and the country would cease to exist as a democracy. Maybe it already does. You clowns have to stop listening to right wing propaganda and discover that we are in the worst economic times since the Depression, thanks to the likes of Reagan, Bush I and Bush II. McCain and Palin are not the answer to a better America. Get used to it!!

Obama , Is A Terrorist Sympathizer .

The rumours are getting wild out there about the Michelle Obama tape,Fox news has just been told the video will be released this week showing Michelle yelling out how much she hates America!!!Fox news has confirmed the tape exist and it dont look good for Obama,now this is going to be a big game changer,also Sean Hannity will be doing a special on it next Thursday,Michelle Obama really put her foot in her mouth this time,it appears the tape was made in 2001 at Rev Wrights Church.

Ol' Sarah Palin must be writing some of these rambling posts on here. I can't believe there is more than one person who "beats around the Bush" in these dire times and just doesn't make sense or "get it!"
I uh, gotta go an mkae sum fuod for my hsubnad and...

Let's hear it once again for the ticket of Obama/CNN. Biden is a joke.

My faith tells me to treat others as we wish to be treated. I am a bit upset that Palin is now saying that Obama is palling around with a terrorist. Obama was 8 yrs old when those acts were committed.

So Pallin would like for socieity to not forgive a man for acts he committed in the 1960s. Should we apply Palins way of thinking to Mr Mccains wife... wasnt she a drug addict, and admits that she stole drugs. Does Mr Mccain hang around her? If we all thought as palin does.. then this would apply.
I am happy I dont think as she does... but I wanted to proove a point.
Its a desparate act to win a campaign, based on hatred and fear.
IT is time for change.

Miss Howdy (Palin) need to be more concerned about what's happening now with Trooper Gate and her behavior than something that occured when Obama was 8 years old. Give us some credit for having common sense to know our economy is front and center!

Yes sir-ree jo you better know it to be so-–VOTE to Save America from stupidity of repeating 8 more years. I think that is the 8 we are more concerned with! By Golly Miss Sarah.

Obama/Biden 08

republicans have nothing but lies and insults ... dems actually are talking about issues ... mcstain and the 2nd place beauty queen are desperate ... his judgement choosing the no. 2 leader in the most (2nd most no thanks to the chimp) powerful nation on earth after meeting her twice is messed up ...

Obama how are you going to pay for the ideas you have came forth with....... you don't tell anyone how this stuff will be paid for....

you say no increase in taxes........ha ha ha you say you support the 2nd ammendment on your right to own guns....how ever you do not tell the people you WANT TO HAVE GUN OWNERS PAY A TAX FOR THE GUNS THEY ALREADY OWN....ALSO YOU DON,T TELL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU WANT TO INCREASE HUNTING AMMO BY 500%.

you will let us own guns but will make it so expensive that the american hunting will not be able to afford hunting,,,

Folks checK his voting record on guns ..... he wants to BAN THEM...

THEN CHECK WITH THE N.R.A. AND FIND OUT WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THIS GUY..... HE CAN NOT BE TRUSTED

The Geezer/Gidget ticket is showing how desperate they have become by digging up old issues that have been talked to death months ago. This sounds like the name-calling that goes on on the school playground. Why won't McSame tell us how HE will make the country better, instead of falling back on his worn-out tactic of trying to tell us Obama is the boogeyman?

Obama/Biden 08

Of course…McSame has no choice but to divert attention to other irrelevant issues…But, we are not that stupid

What a joke!

This will be a landslide for Obama!

mr Obama stole his economy program from Germany.

Germany's post war Miracle economy is what Obama is pawing off as his economy policy.

There are many flaws to his idea of using the German economy plan.

The circumstances way back then and now are Different.

The Fact the Germans had to pay nothing in Defense is one reason it worked. (Does Obama plan on dropping all our defense)

We all know Obama's want to make the North American Union also.

Which would not be feasible at this time, with the economy the Democrats created.

The bail out paying off all their rich friends and recouping their losses, Gaining the banks to be own by the government played right into their play book. It will be easier for them to nationalize the rest of the business in this country.

This is the United States of America, This is the Country we love, We love our Freedoms and will not give them up.

Mr obama is throwing the economy up to take the eyes of the country and world off him and his friend Ayers. He usally makes major ploys when he wants to drown out something or change the subject.

It does not matter what he wants, All of his life long personal friends hate America, the American Government, Mr Obama says he is Changing govenmrnt, which is somthing that should never happen.
Pluse his economy plan is directly taken from Germany.

Enough to be evident that this man should never have the opportunity to get in any high power in this government.

Obama has focused plenty on the economy for me. Raising my taxes sure won't help my family, "patriotic" or not. He has lost my vote!

McCain/Palin '08

Not only are McCain/Palin reprehensible and power hungry, I just can't imagine either of them dealing with our Global Family. Economy matters but my greater fear is that these 2 bozos would start WW111.

Bush years= 9/11, war. war, Bailout
McCain/Palin= more of the same

The McCain/Palin ticket is in shambles and is grasping for air.

Their entire line reminds me of "Two Grumpy Old Men", nothing new, just endless, irrelevant rhetoric designed to fire up their base. Only the base isn't biting.

Clearly, the past two weeks have shown the performances of both McCain and Palin are incapable of formulating coherent policies to rescue this failing economy, restore the confidence of the American people in the political process, restore America's standing in the world as a leader - not a bully, and protect our basic freedoms and liberties.

The past eight years have drastically dimmed that beacon of light on a hill espoused by Ronald Reagan and Sarah Palin. Only darkness and political courruption/abuse is prevalent as a result of Bush's policies and attitudes - particularly the free hand he gave Dick Cheney. And now Sarah Palin wants to expand his grab for power????

Are we sure we want to discuss real issues? I mean the gop has Sarah calling Obama a terrorist sympathizer, and McSame saying Obama is a defeatist, illing to "surrender" to Iraq.
What a great idea!
Stick to the issues and quit fear & smear!

God help America if the people let McPalinlipstick change the focus of the current debate to slash and burn politics that more divides us at a time when Americans need to focus on serious issues. They have stated this the strategy. What portion of, we will not focus on the issues, does America not understand?

Obama remains a dangerous option for voters.
Compare his "rallies" and the children singing for Obama to Hitler's rallies and youth groups.
Can America afford to be the next................??

That's right, Sen. Obama. Stick to the issues. Show these republicans what an election is about. US!

McCain has given up the state of Michigan. Now he has given up on the main issue of this presedential election, the economy, the financial crisis.

McCain's campaign is finally bankrupt now.

So exactly what is it Allan (Bush four more years): are you a racist, a biggot, or just plan stupid?

Funny to see how GOP supporters are totally brainwashed

Palin as well as McCain are truly unstable people. They are willing to say and do anything and that is the mark of 666. The people guiding their campaign are evil beings and their souls are owed to the Devil! This is politics. It's evil!

Aside from keeping his eyes on the economic ball, Obama must slap down attack dogs like Palin. Ignoring her spitting poison round can be a fatal mistake just like Kerry did and perished. It's most commendable taking the high road but, like my dear Mother used to say, no shame to put down a rabid dog blocking your way.

Wow – good job Sen. Obama. in the midst of these attacks by McCain's attack dog, you are sticking to those issues most important to me – and to most of the American people. I am sick and tired of these underhanded tactics employed by the McCain campaign. It makes me furious. And to Bat-242, go to Russia, please. We don't need an electorate as narrow-minded as yourself. Prior drug use? Oops, Bush used cocaine and is a recovering drunk. Please prove to me that the "First Dude", Todd Palin has never smoked pot. I live around snowmobilers and they loooove their weed.

Someone needs to point out to Palin, with her upstanding Christian upbringing and her personal "witch doctor", that old maxim from the Bible about throwing stones.

now that McCain is cornered, he is walking his predictable, disgusting last move and brings this Ayers gibberish back up; the Obama campaign should bring up the Keating5 scandal with all their might, in all battleground states and until election day!
I hope they knew this was coming, the most disgusting campaign in history is also the most predictable.
Shame on you McCain, shame on you, for doing this to our country!

Watch for McCain to imitate Palin on Tuesday, ignoring the questions from the town hall audience and changing the subject again and again back to Ayers, Rezko, and Wright.

But just Google "Keating 5" or "Rick Renzi" or heck, just look at what the McCain campaign has done to a completely legitimate legislative investigation of Gov. Palin, effectively shutting it down until the body reconvenes in January and issues Contempt citations against Palin and her husband.

If you're gonna get down in the mud ...

I love how Obama sticks to the issues and avoids making personal attacks. That is the sign of a grown up people. McCain remainds me of junior high school with the backstabbing, lying, viscious personal attacks. Palin and McCain are 2 peas in a pod.

Its time we elect the right person into office, one with vision and ability to get the job done.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08 and beyond

America, we can not afford Mccain and Palin. They don't have a solution for an economy also Helth Care. No away, No How, No Mccain / Palin. Obama and Biden 2008

Mccain care less about:

How much America is using in Iraq.

The financial meltdown

Palin Vapidity

Katrina victims and New orleans

Didn't we have enough of 8years?

Now, I finally get that "Joe Six-pack" thingy that Sistah Say~rah's been pushin' here lately...

They are hoping that Cindy can sell enough beer that voters will be drunk enough to vote for them on Nov. 4th...

Palin, you might want to drops your rocks...for Oct 10th is next week, so tell us, what are you tryin' to hide?

Hmmmm...

McCain is a very unstable person and the current economic crisis has proven.McCain was indecisive,making decisions that shocked or surprised his own campaign staff. First, suspending a campaign to force himself into negotiations that never involved or required him, saying the presidential debate should be postponed when Americans wanted to hear from their future president,saying he wont debate until there is a deal and came back when there was no deal.In fact there was no deal until 7 days later.
McCain showed that he can't multi-task,a simple prerequisite of a leader,poor sense of judgment cause he wanted a game changer and a deflection of Americans from the economic crisis.
God save us if he becomes president, we will wake up the following morning to nuclear war on our hands because of his erratic and unstable poor sense of judgment.Gob save and bless America from McCain/Palin

Finally someone on issues. I hope people have brains so they can see whats really going on, rather than talking about McCain's BS.

McCain/Palin are not fit to lead this country. Obama/Biden are totally in touch with Americans and their needs. They are the Presidential team we need.

Yes We Can – Obama/Biden!!!

I'll take Obama's judgment and leadership over McFlip Flopper any day.

Palin scares the heck out of me.

And yes Bat-242, it is inevitable, President Obama come January 20th, 2009. I like the sound of that.

Obama thus far has been remarkably consistent and showed amazing foresight and patience ... qualities of a remarkable leader. McCain on the other hand comes across as an anxious warmonger who loves to engage in pubescent rhetoric as indicated in quite a few of his campaign speeches which were laced with childish insults.

Indepent perspective!

Wont republicans take any responsibility for the last 8 years? There is no proof that the next 4 years would be any different under McCain-Palin.
What about the 11trillion debt? If the big corporations and the rich don't take the fair share of the debt, who is going to pay that off.

McCain is getting desperate if he has to run attacks instead of illustrating what HE WOULD DO for this country.

Every time he talks about himself, he talks about him rather than policies he'd have. That's ego, not leadership.

Let talk about McCain's connections with keating 5 which cost tax payers $2 billion..........................and Todd palin's connection with the AIP that does not want to see alaska as part of america..................and Sarah palin's connection with Pat Buchanan who hates jews.

John McCain is a lackey for the real brains in their ticket, the scholarly Sarah Palin. They have yet to address an issue facing us. But I do enjoy Sarah's middle school mind set, reaching out to the 14 year olds for support.

McCain you better focus on economic rather than wasting your time on personal attack, it won't help you. Just remember an old lady in Ohio who shot her self because of the mortgage crisis.

Another McStunt here... NO WE ARE NOT GOING TO FORGET THAT REPUBLICANS BANKRUPTED THIS COUNTRY..! If you actually read the article in NYT you'll see that they say that THERE WAS NO ACTUAL CONNECTIONS, so Palin is lying, once again. I'm tired of McCains dirty tactics. Obviously he can't win speaking the truth and about himself, so they have to LIE. No way, no how, No McCain..!

Character is a big issue. Obama has done nothing to help his brother who lives in a hut on $12 a year. If he didn't help him, how is he going to help or care about us?

I can't believe that we are suffering the biggest potential crisis since the great depression and McCain thinks that Americans are interested in mud slinging. If this achieves anything it will turn me away from voting for him. I would like to know what he would do to solve it. Don't send Palin out, she hasn't go a clue.

"Country First" !!!!!! Then Goofus and Moosey should tuck up their tails (plus tall tales), give the rest of the states to Obama and get lost!!!!!!

This is leadership...keep focusing on the economy. Go Obama. Do not go down McCain road and bring out that McCain was chasing woman at that time. The old man is in desperate mode.

McCain is erratic – and changes positions as politics warrant. That doesn't distinguish him from his opponent, however.

What DOES distinguish him is his crazy choice of Palin, his pandering to oil interests and Wall Street thieves for years on end.

There is no way that McCain can distance himself from the Bush years. I planned to vote for him as a protest to the treatment Hillary Clinton received, but I cannot afford that luxury any more.

And neither can YOU!

oBAMA NEED TO KEEP DOING WHAT HE IS DOING BECAUSE HE IS FOR EVERYONE NOT JUST THE RICH AND FAMOUS . MCCLAIN IS NOT TRYING TO HELP NO ONE BUT HIMSELF. I WONDER WHO IS REALLY RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. SEEM TO ME IT IS SARAH AND TODD, MCCLAIN IS JUST THE HOUSE PUPPY BEING LEAD BY A SO CALL PRETTY FACE.

WHEN YOU HAVE TO STOOP SO LOW TO STRAIGHT OUT LIE AND MAKE UP LIES TO DESTROY SOME LIFE, SARAH CLAIM SHE IS FAMILY ORIENTED, SHE MUST NOT BE. HOW WOULD SHE FEEL IF SOMEONE TALK ABOUT HER THAT WAY AND TELL H ER CHILDREN. THEN SHE WOULD BE CRYING HOW SHE IS BEING MISTREATED AND WE ARE SUPPOSED TO FEEL SORRY FOR HER BECAUSE SHE HAS A CHILD WITH DISABILTY.

SARAH PROBLEM DO NOT KNOW WHAT BEING A TRUE WORKING PARENT WITH A FAMILY AND A CHILD WITH DISABILTY. THAT IS EVERY DAY LIFE FOR THE MAJORITY OF SINGLE PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS THAT IS KEEP THEIR CHILDRENS. WE HAVE TO WORK SOMETIMES TWO OR THREE JOBS TO MAKE ENDS MEET. WE HAVE TO PAY FOR CHILD CARE AND WE ARE MAKING IT ON THE LOWEST ABOUT OF WAGES.

OBAMA AND BIDEN BOTH KNOW WHAT IT IS TO NOT HAVE MONEY BUT THE ONE THINGS THAT THEY HAVE THAT SARAH AND MCCLAIN DO NOT HAVE IS WORTH MORE THAN MONEY-THE ABILTY TO TEACH THEIR CHILDREN ABOUT LOVE FOR THE FELLOW MAN .

Oh please McCain..it IS all about the economy stupid ! what your spouting is OLD news, proven false yet by factcheck.com..whats your next october surprise ? there no longer is any doubt in my mind who is most stable with soundest judgement, and it isnt you McCain OR your Palin..
voting OBAMA
fed up with LIES and distraction and distortion...

Message to gov. Palin and senator McCain:

"It's the economy, stupid!"

I am not sure that it will take any effort to get attention on the economy.

I worked for Boeing on the US Tanker. McCain wrote the defense department and had the rules changed on the tanker bids. The bid then awarded 54,000 American jobs to France. Mine was one of them. I am a 62 year old handicapped worker. My unemployment runs out at the time of the election.

I am going to lose my home and have to move into a trailer on a friends property. My step-daughter and her 2 year old son are currently living in my basement. When i have to get out of my house they are going to be on the streets.

My wife is a brittle diabetic (Two types of insulin every day) who can't get much in the way of health care. Thanks to being unemployed, I have no health care. I am not quite handicapped enough to qualify for disability Social Security. So I am going to have to take early social security, just to pay for the meds we need to stave off death a while.

I don't think John McCain's plan does anything for me but measure me for a pine box. And I don't think it will take much to get me to focus on the economy.

Putting the focus on, where the focus should have been the last 8 years, instead of warmongering.

Obama/Biden

This is one of Obama's best ads. It's spot on, focusing on what is important and not Gov. Palin's gibberish about Ayers, a non-issue.
