CNN

As a Canadian it fascinates me how many Americans continue to vote against their own self-interest. The Republicans demonstrably do not give a hoot for the average man on the street yet many apparently working people still flock to their rallies and cheer them on. Please America, kick the bums out this time.

The Democrats don't care about the little people at all. All they wanna do is take everyone's money and give it to all the people on welfare and make our country a welfare nation. You hard working people better wise up before all your money goes to lazy do nothings.
VOTE FOR MCCAIN/PALIN

You tell them Joe!!! This coming week expect to see a toilet full of S**t! coming from the rethugs.

Obama supports duck, fight back, get to work and VOTE!!!!!!!!

This Election is so pathetic it's pitiful. In my history of voting, I have never experienced seeing or hearing so much controversy. First, there was Mr. Obama's pastor, then there was the lie that he was somehow tied to Bin Laden, Who can forget this one, He was a Muslim! Now we have the Misleading Meter. What's next? Mr. Obama "IS" The Better Man for this Election. Should something happen to John McCain, Sarah Palin is definitely not A Presidential hopeful and, she does not have any experience. I can at least say that Mr Biden would be the best choice should something happen to Mr Obama (Hopefully that want happen) John McCain & Sarah has used so much of their time saying nasty, negative, and corruptive lies about Mr.Obama and, not focusing on their campaign until, most of the people in my State are saying they wish they did not have to see them on the air anymore. John McCain really suprised me. As, he does not act his age! He does not seem serious about what's going on in this Country. McCain says that he has so much more experience than Mr Obama, He sure does not act it. People are really watching his body language, his speeches, and the lies he and his running mate are telling about Mr Obama is really a true "TURN OFF" They should go forward with their business! And with that said,
God Bless America & The People who Are chosen to run This Wonderful Country! Oh yes, another thing, people are beginning to wonder did McCain send Joe the Plummer to ask Mr Obama about purchasing His own Plumming Business. Seems this would be a stunt that John or Sarah would Pull. We are Just Wondering! Again, God Bless America!

I don't understand the McCain campaign talking about socialism. The republicans socialized the financial markets by buying banks. The republicans are socialists not democrats.

Who is Palin to decide which parts of the country are patriotic and true Americans? We all love our country in different ways and for different reasons. Of any country in the world, I've never seen one with people more proud. Perhaps there are some out there, but our citizens are certainly going to give them a run for their money! Tell you what Joe, if they're going to throw the kitchen sink, you can throw them the commode to put the nonsense and crap in it where it belongs! Etch a sign on the side telling them not to forget to flush! Go get em and voters out there, we have alot of time left to Barack the vote! The GOP will not stop, he is right, and it's up to us to finish this race and take back our country from these nut jobs. We're with you Joe!!!

The robocalls, the names being called at rallies, the stuffed monkeys and the watermelon and fried chicken flyers; doesn’t McCain feel that any of these attacks from party members might turn off his own party's African American Republican voters?

I have never heard him speak about it, so I wonder if he has ever really given any though to this problem at all.

I feel the republicans are losing some of their own best supporters by throwing the 'kitchen sink ' at the Democrats.

Obama/Biden. One man, one vote.

My best friend lives in Michigan which is a blue state. Does that mean I'm cavorting with an anti-American?

Lou Dobbs is wrong with his statements about Joe the Plumber and what Obama was trying to say!

Both my sons are plumbers and they don't even come close to $250,000.00 a year in earnings. In my mind and I'm sure others McCain started on Joe the plumber in the debate. McCain is for the wealthy. Obama is going to do better for the Low to Middle income families across the US.

Obama was not putting down the working people in this Country! He was simple and correctly stating that no matter which trade you are working in (ie) plumbers,electricians,nurses,teachers etc. you are Not making those kind of wages.

Joe the plumer probably wised he had a license becaue then he may make $25.00 an hour. A far cry from $250,000.00 per year.

Thank You!

Biden is misrepresenting what Palin said and i can't stand that kind of politics. Biden has always been the 'bull in a china shop" type of person and he's doing it here.
These democratics are good at presenting a different take on things...like the tax break for many who don't pay tax....calling the refund a "payroll tax, specifically a social security tax refund. Am I missing something here? Don't we get this after age 62 or later? I'm totally confused.

It seems that it is about time for the major news outlets such as CNN to get on the relationship of Gordon Liddy and McCain, who call each other friends, and not leave it up to David Letterman to bring out. We have had enough of the Ayers-Obama connection for now.

Senator Joe Biden should not take some of the losely spoken lines of Gov. Sarah Palin too seriously; sometimes she suffers from mental lapses. She mistook cheering supporters for protesters at a certain rally of hers. At an interview with Cocic she could not even remember what newspapers she reads, if she does! She thinks having a border with Russia is part of Foreign Policy experience for her! The list goes on and on.
I think in her mind if you do not favor the McCain/Palin ticket the you qualify to be labelled ANTI-AMERICAN.
i.e. Anti Mccain=Anti-America.

Divide and conquer,,,,,,,,,that's what Hitler did,,,,,,,the Bush, McCain administration has a reputation of this kind of politics. If McCain was truthful about this election,,,,,,,he himself on national television would have told the Senator from Alaska to either cleanup her act or shut up. He did neither,,,,,,he still has illusions of grandeur, sleeping in the white house. The more McCain and Palin speak,,,,the more they become a disgrace to America.

What else is remaining, Rev wright?

Robo calls inciting terror, fear and race. I ask...where is the John McCain I admired and honored. The man who spoke out against these types of attacks. Where is John McCain? One can lose an election and still maintain his dignity and honor in tact. That's what a Maverick would do, someone who crosses parties lines, who wants to bring the country together, who puts country first.
Where is John McCain?

mc c suggested "joe the plumber" for vp........doesn't he know he already has one??????? it must be CRS= Can't Remember S__t

The McCain and GOP are going to throw their filthy bathroom toilet at Obama.

McCain is not presidential material.

It is the republican way of life. When the Republicans outed a CIA agent, we questioned their integrity and we were anti-American. When the Republicans fabricated evidence to lead us into war with Iraq, we questioned their truth and we were anti-American. And now Republican Sarah Palin tells me that she believes if a woman is raped, that the woman must be forced to have a rapist's child. I question that, and if John McCain and Sarah Palin want to label me as anti-American, then go ahead.

The Republican Strategy Is The Reason I Am Voting For Obama! If Mccain Cant Stay On The Issues During The Campaign He Wont Stay On The Issues In The White House!

It's only a matter of time before the "Did you know Obama is a Black, Muslim terrorist phone calls go out?!"

And now "Joe The Plumber" has been outedas aphony, and McCain is going to take him on the road with the the Queen of The Phonies, Sarah Palin, who fosters a relationship, along with Todd, with a seccessionist group in Alaska!

The GOP – The Party Of Family Values!!! LOL!!!!!!!

Joe, they've been throwing the toilet...they skipped right over the kitchen and went straight for the bathroom!

Great job! Don't relent Joe. Let's build the country up and not down!

Sen. Obama socialist?.....piglin did exactly the same as senile is talking about....raised taxes on oil companies and gave checks to every man, woman and child in Alaska???? so she must have received about $20,000 plus and a free house...mc c STFU

GO JOE GO......

Palin relality is in the little voices in her head...

A Vote for Obama is a true vote for change..

God Speed

On behalf of rational and educated people throughout the world (that's including the larger populated areas of the United States of America), we do not blame the patriotic pro-American people of Alaska and Arizona for electing John McCain and Sarah Palin. We all make mistakes. However, in this election, I'm hopeful the strongest people will vote for the strongest candidates.

It is Obama – Biden.

Let me repeat that "v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y" for you small town backwoods pro-American joe-the-plumber types... "It is Obama-Biden".

I know it's difficult to "listen" to a new concept beyond your attention spans, so let's try it again. "It is Obama-Biden".

No, Obama is not an Arab. Yes, he is Black. No, Obama is not going to raise your $42,500 net income taxes. Yes, Sarah Palin is probably a wonderful mother who can read. Yes, John McCain was a POW and a war hero.

And, YES, John McCain wants to buy up your unpayable devalued $200,000 mortgage from the bank so they can leverage the money to create more small business loans to get the economy going "now". John will then have the bank give you a $50,000 mortgage (which you can afford). When the value of your home (currently estimated at $62,500) increases to $250,000 you can sell it and net $200,000! The US tax payor will be out $150,000, but according to the McCain-Palin ticket you will be richer, and now be able to put a down payment on a plumbing business. Yep, that's how you all create money in small town America. Step right up and sign here on the dotted line. You can trust me, I've got a plan! It's been the American way to the American dream. You can rise to the top 5% and pay proportionally lower taxes and live in a big home and drive a fancy car in the fastest growing consumer market in the world. Yeah, RIGHT!

I apologize for making the last paragraph so long for you folks, my friends. So let's make it simple.

Vote. Vote. Vote. Obama. Obama. Obama.

No, Obama will not increase your taxes if you make under $200,000 "net taxable" income...

(I tried).

I completely agree with Joe Biden. Desperate times call for desperate measures for John McCain and Sara Palin. At this very critical time, the American People must not be complacent with only 17 days left before the general elections.

McCain is exactly how Obama decribes him, Eratic. He is throwing in the kitchen sink along with Palin and Joe the Plummer. I want to hear him talk about issues not some ploy. I know that american voter are smarter than that. So come and let's make history by electing Barack Hussein Obama President of the USA See it is not that hard to say,

When John McCain chose Sarah Palin for his choice of running mate he confirmed that he nor his party have any respect for women.
He could have made his choice from many intelligent hard working women. But, just like any other sexist he thought she was just cute.
A woman who votes for McCain is cutting her own throat and those of all females and intelligent males.

Keep it up, Joe. These people will stop at nothing. When is the media going to really talk about the REAL connection between McCain and G. Gordan Liddy??

Some ardent Obama supporters I know seem to hate the USA. They speak openly with contempt for their own country. They even seem to sympathize with terrorists. These anti-American americans (small A) are people who make a good living here, and enjoy every freedom. I don't expect them to support McCain, but at least they should abide by the golden rule: don't bite the hand that feeds you !

It is sad to see the lengths to which the McCain camp, the RNC, and now even the White House will go to scare and incite people into running to McCain.

The ACORN thing is a complete fabrication. Every organization that tries to register voters gets some bum registration forms. When the law requires suspect forms to be submitted, that organization must comply. ACORN is being singled out by the DoJ for the sake of benefitting the McCain ticket.

McCain says that a registration form for Mickey Mouse "tears at the fabric of democracy." But what really tears is when the party in power uses law enforcement forces to conduct illegal operations in order to hold onto that power.

John McCain and Sarah Palin they both scare me very bad the reason John McCain choose such an unexperienced running mate is ridiculous
she has nothing to bring to the table, Her statements and remarks about Mr. Obama are an outrage and the thought of her stepping down is still on the table. She is no Hillary Clinton and if John McCain thinks we are going to take a chance of him leaving her in charge if god forbid anything may happen to him then Mr. McCain should really have his head examined.

The Lobster Tail.

NO WONDER....Common sense Republicans are jumping ship ! McCain you simply have fallen from grace. It's pitiful. Sarah Palin you are disgrace ! Go back to your Alaska independence freedom party.

McCain has made a complete joke of this election. I will vote for the smart people here in Oregon today! Obama/Biden
No to insults and more of the same.

You tell 'em Joe.

Enough of people like Palin who try to divide America.

Joe Biden is right. Everything that comes from the McCain-Palin campaign is divisive. All they do is try to stir up anger against Obama, as if somehow the country's problems are all his fault. Since he's only been a Senator for four years, as McCain-Palin like to remind us, clearly he couldn't have caused all this trouble. I hope the American people see through the nasty politics of the McCain campaign. When one attack doesn't work, they just try another one. I'm tired of it. Vote for change!

And it's dirty and ain't going to work this time around.McCain better take a moment as ask Hillary and other senior Democratic Sen what happened to them in the primaries.
It's high time McCain recognises that the water level is already up to his neck.There will be no October surprises!

EARLY VOTING IN FLORIDA THIS MONDAY..................... GO BOJO

what's up cnn why???

John McCain would have been best served sticking to the issues rather than using the same sort of tactics that were employed against him when he ran for the nomination in 2000. This is at times shameful and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

You're right Senator we're all pro American, Mccain consedered himself as a hero and yet he promote the hatred,racist and tell a lie over and over..........and he insult the Inteligent people in America by choosing Palin for VP, Joe the plumber lie in the first place and now Mccain wants him to join on his rally, Mccain judgement is really scary.......for the future of this great Country before Bush take over and mislead the people of America.

Let them. They are just sounding more idiotic, more desperate, and just flat out hateful by the minute. And they failed to vet another McCain mouthpiece, Joe (Sam) the Plumber (unlicensed) the Independent (registered Republican) who wants to buy the business he works for (but doesn't make enough money and owes $1200 in taxes). And for anyone that thinks Palin is so great, they should have their voting rights rescinded.

cnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

I adore Biden! The Republicans are sleaze personified and mcblame/failin are two of the worst! Liars, hypocrites and hate mongers. John McBlame threw out his country first motto when he chose to run a dirty filthy hate filled campaign, it then became "get elected at any cost first"! NO THANK YOU MCBLAME/PALIN!

We are ready! Only 17 more days.

Would the "kitchen sink" include the truth?????

I am so dismayed at where this election has turned. The hate and nastiness of the McCain campaign is distressing. The phone calls, letters, the hate messages screamed at his gatherings need to stop now. Although Obama has some ads of his own, they are not down and dirty. The terrorist CD I received in the mail last week was outrageous.

I hope that people will wake up and pay attention to the issues and not the lies that are being cast around by candidates, reporters, emails, etc. Please look at the issues of this election as well as the stances each candidate takes on those issues...then decide. Don't let these nasty personal attacks decide for you or we'll end up in the same mess we've been in for the past 8 years.

Sarah pailin is an idiot, an empty barrel makes d loudest noise. she is only been on the natinal stage for only few weeks and yet she wants to claim she knows everything and yet when it comes to d basic fact and issues that matters to people, she is found empty and out. How long will it take her to understand that she is not qualified to be eighther a vp or president of america. I advise mmcain to reecruit her as his personal secretary. I have never seen a dumb and non entity like sarah pailin. Let her go home and take care of her variuos children that needs her at this special and hard time in their life. Americans are not ready to give her another chance to abuse power.

It's not over. This election is too important to let down. Good job Senator Biden and Obama for taking this seriously. The GOP will throw everything, including the house.

Obam and Biden should do everything they can do to keep the Palin.McCain ticket on defense. Palin-McCain are nothing more than con-artisits who are unfit to lead.

McCain/Palin/G.Gordon Liddy/Charles Keating/Joe the Plumber. These are people you can believe in.

All it will take is motivation. The last 8 years of dead sons and daughters and lost homes and jobs have motivated us. Your accusations that we do not love this country have motivated us. Your disrespect for us and all we hold dear has motivated us. This time the ball won't be dropped because you provided the glue.

Sarah Palin is so dangerous, naive, and insulting to so many Americans.

John McCain's judgment must be questioned.

The Republicrats will do what they've done in the past: try to steal the election, and if that doesn't work, watch out for the Bushman, who may try to declare martial law, has the legal right to suspend the election, and under the so-called "Patriot Act," the right to declare martial law.
We're living under a seriously unbalanced regime, one that has lied it's way into undermining America for the past eight years. They are desparate, and will do anything at this point to hold on to the illusion of their "rightness."

McCain and his supporters are so focused on why we should not vote for Obama. Which makes me believe that these people are voting against Obama instead of voting for McCain. Help me out here... Why should we vote for McCain? I really want to know.

Sarah Palin has really being a liability to the ticket.

John McCain has clearly shown that he lacks the character to be president with his shameful campaign tactics.

Gov. Palin is just showing her true colors. After all her husband is a secessionist in a party that she endorses. And she abuses her power for a personal agenda. What a fabulous role model for everyone.....i still can't believe people still swallow whatever she spews as "truth". I guess that is supposed to be "american" while the rest of the people are un-patriotic....You are either with me or against me.....

You're right Biden, the Republican Party and the Americans voting for Senator McCain are going to fight in this election! Fight for America!

GOP = LIES, SMEAR, INNUENDO, FEAR-MONGERING

First of all, Sara Palin doen not have the right to determine who or where people are 'pro-American". Secondly, I find it really hard to believe that SP even brings up the topic with her encounters/ties with the AIP and sessionists from AK. This woman keeps stretching reality more ane more everyday.

And now Joe "the not-so-much-plumber, not-so-much-independent, not-so-much tax payer" on the campaign trail with McCain??? Sounds like they vetted him just as much as Palin! What type of judegement does that show on McCain's part? I think it's yet another erratic, knee-jerk, un-thoughtful decision. Seriously, his camp is nothing short of delusional!

I'm voting on MONDAY for the SMART and calm, cool & collected one!
Obama/Biden 08 and beyond!!
Turn VA Blue!!!

Well, yes Sarah Palin qualified her comments. She is a good politician and realized as soon she said what she did that it would not play well.
However, without trying to read her mind, I think she divides. The good Christians versus non Christians. The steel toed boots versus loafers.
I come from rural roots. I live now in an urban college setting. I can't speak for anyone other than myself. I find it insulting to both the rural and urban people to play the down-home-loyal-to-the-core versus the elite-sophisticate non-loyal urban. This is a global world. Both loyalty to country and wide vision, awareness of the larger world are needed.
I echo Joe Biden, tired, tired, tired, tired of divisive, pandering rhetoric.

Sarah is really out of touch!!!

yeah don't get comftorable, obama biden

cuz mccain/palin will win

you know how hillary said dont pay attention to polls

Senator Biden is right on! The McCain/Palin campaign has reached all-time lows. It is hard to believe that potential leaders of such a great country, can stoop so low in their efforts to get power. The Republican campaign is characterized by lies, half truths, purposeful misinterpretations, misquotes etc. That a country could even contemplate a dingbat like Palin for VP, is beyond me. She would not even qualify in a banana republic. McCain has lost all his honour. Sad beyond words.

According to McCain, Palin, Congresswoman Bachmann if anyone disagree with conservatives then you are not Pro-America..........hmmm
I find the Republican party disturbing and McCain fall in line to win this election..........Obama warned his supporters months ago about the tactics McCain and his supporters will use to prevent him from winning and it is abundantly clear today. If people fall for this shame on them..........Senator Biden is right now is not the time to be complacent, we should be working harder then before to go out the vote and talk to our neighbors, co-workers, children about the democratic ticket.

McCain along with his Republican colleagues like Bachmann do not get to divide this country by making a case for Pro-American vs Anti-American, I hold my First Amendment Rights dear to my heart and will speak out for what I believe in even if it does not sit well with others.

P.S. Congresswoman Bachmann: I thought we live in the land of the free......FREE to think, speak, vote, congregate without FEAR of being thrown in jail.

Some right wing nut ball congress woman from Minnesota thinks the democrats in the senate and house should be investigated because they are "unamerican." It is hard to believe that Minnesotans would elect someone as dumb as a stick to represent them.

Have to comment on Joe the plumber going on the trail with McSenile/Falin, Joe had better stay home with his child, work to pay his taxes so he does not lose his house and maybe get a licenses. Talk about surrounding your self with losers. A V.P. pick that abused her powers and a plumber that evades taxes .John McSenile claims they both
represent the common man , they actually represent the current administration. OBAMA/BIDEN 08
Connie from Indiana

Republicans always use "patriotism" against people who disagree with their administration. It's been their tactic (or "strategy") to attack the patriotism of people who question the status quo, or protest against actions of government. What they don't seem to realize is that every time they do, they spit on our Constitution.

The GOP has been doing this since the race of the White House began. It just seems to get nastier and nastier and the days go by. They are actually tearing the country apart with all the things that they are putting out there. Don't they know there is something to be said for losing gracefully – at least you have your respect and dignity John McCain.

Joe's right. Democrats, the only reason we have a lead in the polls is because those polled said they'd vote. Don't think that just because we have a lead doesn't mean we don't want you to go out and vote. We have to hold that lead on Nov 4th and show McBush how we do.

Pro-American Palin - wow - i am so glad WE FINALLY have someone to tell us who is Pro and who is Anti-American!

Perhaps Barack isn't the messiah....perhaps Sarah is the one!

GET OUT AN VOTE FOR OBAMA/BIDEN!

I'm working at a phone bank for OBAMA today (while sneaking peaks at the PSU-Michigan game).

What are YOU doing to GOTV?

OB08

The republican party needs to go back to the drawing board tell Americans why they should be relevant in the 21st century.

Why am I not surprised that the GOP would finally resort to the most disgusting, vile tactics ever in a Presadential race. They have nothing left. You know it seems to me that the GOP, John McCain, the McCain campaign staff and Sarah Palin are guilty of terrorism themselves. We know that you and Barack aren't. The McCain campaign is spending the last few days of this election inciting hate, and anger. God we will be glad when this election is over. The sad part of this is that Barack has envolved so many young people I'm afraid that the ugliness of the McCain campaign has emotionally hurt them. I hope not. One of the first jobs of a President Obama is to begin the healing process in this country. We are a broken nation and the sooner we heal the sooner we can pick up the pieces and begin again.

What she should be asking herself is if she is so PRO AMERICA, why is she palling around with todd palin.

It is not enough to continue say that mcHate and mrs. Parrrot will say and and do anything to win this election. It is time for you JOE and Obama to go after them with everything you've got. The RNC and the Hate train express are easy pickens in this climate. Ayers, Acorn and Obama's tax policies have been dominating the news for the past few weeks. The RNC and McHate are doing pretty good good of trying to Caricature a sitting us Senator as a terrorist. THese are disgusting and hateful tactics but the DEMS need to understanding what is happening here – Its call swift-boating (terrorist, drug users socialist etc...). This is happening at a pretty relentless pace and the MSM are glad to provide the medium for the RNC to get their message out. Stop claiming about the RNC and McHate and go after them!!!!!

That's so funny. Because I don't live in a small town, involve myself in secessionist organizations, abuse the power of elected office, my daughter hasn't gotten knocked up at a frighteningly young age, a witch doctor hasn't laid hands on me, shooting wolves and killing wild animals, and don't stop people at rallies from threatening to kill a presidential candidate, I guess I'm not pro-America afterall. Thank you, Sarah Palin, for clearing that up for me. See, I thought being pro-America was paying your taxes, paying attention to what is going on in your country, being informed, getting angry when reason arises, having the responsibility to say something when I see something going awry, electing responsible, qualified, informed individuals to lead, helping other Americans that are less fortunate than you, picking up after yourself and getting involved in your community so it can reach its full potential. According you your example, I should move to a small town, hook up with the least educated person I can find and then kill something. That's pro-America? Do I have that right?

Joe Biden has it right....the Republican right wingers will do anything and everything they can to try and dissuade voters from making the right choice. It's scary to think that their tactics will work but will the American people rise up and do the right thing? Would they rather be moved by hope and change or continue to go down the path of being influenced by fear.

We're a lot better then that aren't we? We all have to to do anything we can to ensure that our country is headed in the right direction.

Republicans think Americans are stupid. They are counting on it.

90% Bush = McCain. This is something McCain was very proud to talk about until he wanted your votes. Then he hires the Bush campaign squad to get him elected with the same dirty tricks.

There is one choice in this election. We cannot be fooled again.

We do know that we don't want a 3rd term of Bush economic policies.

It's time for change that we can believe.

I would like to comment on the fact that Sarah Palin will be on SNL tonight and has yet to make herself available for an interview on "Meet the Press" or other such similar programs? I would much rather see more on how she would handle herself as a possible vice president (or perhaps president) than her comedic side.
Maybe what you see is what you get.

i got somthing i'll throw at mccain.... MY VOTE FOR OBAMA

I thought they had done (or rather tried to do) that already.
It is truly sad and demeaning to the whole process to see how erratic and low John McCain's campaign has fallen in the face of Obama's relentless and well run political machine.
Hopefully few Americans will fall for these shameless Rovian tactics this time around.
The rest of of the world wil surely breathe a sigh of relief come November 4th.

Biden needs to move on to something else. McCain and Palin are making ridiculous remarks about Obama taxing the economy into a depression, when the only people he intends to tax are the extremely wealthy (>$250k) and big corporations (and even then the tax rate only moves from 36% to 39%). McCain and the RNP want to protect big business and meanwhile the rest of the country can barely scrape by. That is clearly not the answer, and anyone who wants to learn more about the particular tax plans can go to Obama's or McCain's websites and read for themselves.

Biden should be encouraging people to do their own due diligence, and defend Obama's campaign from the ridiculous attacks. Palin has her base, and they are going to believe anything she says, so it's best to leave it alone and move on to things that people really care about.

The problem with the McCain Campaign is that they say it first then they take it back. This is like the strategy that a lawyer uses during a trial when they ask a certain question that may be objected by the opposition. Then the Judge tells the jury to disregard the comment. We all know that this jury is never going to forget that comment. This is the oldest political ploy on the books. Say it then deny it..... REPREHENSIBLE !!!!!

CNN – I used to watch your news station faithfully but, your coverage of the USA election is disgraceful, I did watch Lou Dobbs last night, I could not believe how he twisted the facts around and try to say that Barack was smearing the "Joe the Plumber" (not his name, no licence, no money and a tax evader). Lou, it was McCain who brought up his name at the debate, McCain who has tried to use this man to his own advantage, NOT Barack. Anyhow, HOW DO YOU SMEAR A TAX EVADER? Apparantly, McCain is taking him on the road with him to try to perpetuate this lie about Barack. McCain, what happend to you? and Lou, I thought you were a fairminded man, GUESS I WAS WRONG. Good people of your GREAT USofA, The GOP is going to try to disenfranchise as many Dems as possible, DON'T LET THEM. VOTE for Sen. Barack Obama on Nov 4th and take back your wonderful country. God bless.

Thanks for looking at my e-mail

Yes, the reprehensible Republican attack machine is indeed in high gear. The McCain campaign Rvian minions only know the low way to electioneering. McCain has become totally ineffective as his campaign has been stolen away from him by political operatives who are without moral or ethical values. They are a disgusting lot!

someone at the mc c camp suggested to put joe the plumber as the vp.....man, that speaks loudly about secessionist piglin doesn't it?

mc c saya thatSen. Obama's tax plan is socialist: he would tax the wealthy and issue checks to the people.....well, you poor Pitiful Old Warmonger, thet is exactly what piglin did in Alaska, higher taxes on the oil industry and then.....HANDED OUT CHECKS to every man, woman and child.......socialist?......nah....a good republican %&?&%#?&

Thank You Sen. Biden for taking Mrs. Palin to task. We wouldn't be engaging in these posts on the CNN message boards and others like them if we diidn't love our country and want the best for our country, which is Obama Biden 08. I'm glad you seem to be one step ahead of the Repubs and I trust that Sen. Obama is as well !!

It is time to throw the kitchen sink at McCain. He palled around with the terrorist G. Gordon Liddy, and also with Charles Keating. He selected a person for VP who violated ethics laws in Alaska and a sympathizer with AIP, and finally, along with Bush and the RNC, McCain violated the constitution with their attempts at voter suppression. Add to that, his new pal, Joe the Plumber who does not pay taxes and does not believe in medicare or social security, and you have the McCain campaign in a 'nutshell'. At least John is white, so he has that going for him.

DIVISIVE INDEED,
What she really wants to say is that urban areas with minorities and immigrants are not pro-america, they are not real american.
she's trying to divide the country, reminds me of the speeches Adolf Hitler used to give

Oh joe.

I heard Palin myself (via t.v.) at a rally just last week, talking about Obama's remarks he made in the primaries. Palin stated that he, Obama, says one thing, but then behind closed doors, talks about folks "clinging to guns and religion"

Now, isn't she doing the exact same thing that she critizied Obama for?
She was at a fundraiser, behind closed doors, talking about certain areas are pro-american?
You know, talking to a select group of people about others.

Wonder if this will loop on the news stattions, you know, as a courtesy, like they did with Obama.
Sadly though, through watching this election, I already know the answer. It seems that there are different rules for different folks.

Actually, the media shouldn't be giving Palin any positive air time at all, as she doesn't seem to give them any of her time. Apparently, she's too "above" interviews with legitimate journalists, who may actually call her on her qualifications and knowledge. If I had her intelligence regarding world affairs, economics, domestic issues, and foreign policies, I too, would stick to SNL skits, Hannity, and Karl Rove "interviews".

I worked for a "patriotic" man many years ago. He worshipped the flag. It
was on his desk in miniature, and he was photographed standing in front
of it, etc. He hated anything liberal. In my opinion he only worshipped money, and it made me almost sick to my stomach. So I quit.

THE DEMOCRATS NEED TO BE VIGILANT. GOP WILL DO ANYTHING TO CAST CLOUD ON THIS ELECTION. PROMPT AND FORCEFUL RESPONSE IN KIND WOULD BE ALL THAT IS NEEDE TO TEACH THESE FAKE "PATRIOTS" THAT THIS TIME AROUND THEY MET THEIR MATCH WHO IS READY TO FACE THEM HEADON.
PALIN SLEEPS AND HAD BABIES FOR A CESSESIONIST BUT SHE IS PATRICOTIC, MCCAINE SEES NOTHING WRONG IN TAX EVASION IN SO FAR AS YOU ARE LEANING REPULICAN OR YOU ARE FRAUDSTER JOE THE FAKE PLUMBER.
TO PUT IT BLUNTLY MOST OF MCSAME/PALIN CAMPAIN RHETORICS ARE SO TOXIC AND ACTUALLY THREATHENS THE UNITY OF THIS GOD OWN NATION.
GOD BLESS THE U.S.A

Way to go, Joe! We Democrats must continue to fight back against every single Republican attack as the time draws near for the election. No attack must go unchallenged! Defend our rights to be pro-American as we believe.

Items that Sara Palin needs to release:

1) Info on her dealings with The Alaska Independence successionist
Movement.

2)Information on her dealings with her pastor who went witch hunting,
along with her participation in exorcising the devil out of sinners.

3)Information of her knowledge of Senator Obama's special prosecutor
investigation into a possible Bush / McCain conspiracy to commit voter
fraud through a phoney invesigation of ACORN (what did she know, and when did she know it?)

When this scoundrel releases this information, then she can
continue to spout off.

Democrats 08.

The new American Socialist Party is worried about being exposed. Democrats beware, your party has been hi-jacked. Examine policies and then compare them to socialist policies. Please read and inform yourselves. The democratic party abandoned traditional democratic principles when Hillary was defeated.

Well, well, well - the thief of Delaware strikes again. Which is worse, talking about pro-America (isn't that we're supposed to do?) - or stealing words from a British government official and others - and speaking and writing them as your own? For Biden, the bathroom wares were thrown a long time ago - by himself!

I guess having a husband who's a former member of the Alaska Indepedence Party is very Pro American!
Conservatives need to think for themselves and stop jumping on the bandwagon. Just becuase you're republican doesn't mean you have to vote for devisive bufoons like Palin,
We are all Americans, and patriotism does NOT run on party lines!!!

Just last night too, a republican congressional woman from Minnesota suggested we do a anti-american test on all of congress...implying that there may be many congressional leaders who are anti-american!

what else would you expect from a pitbull with a lipstick,.

Let's talk about vicious campaigns,Cindy McCain! I think you have gotten the attackers wrong. Oh well, Pittbulls have a reputation and Miss Sarah has to live up to it. Go figure!!!! I like the steady, honest, caring candidates!!! OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!!!!!!!!

It's getting near time for news organizations like CNN to step in and do some good quality commentary on the divisive hate and fear mongering that is being done by the Republican Party.

The robcalls and campaign rhetoric of the Republican Party is starting to border on facism at it's worst. The whole world is watching this and it is harming it's opinion of the American people when it appears that half of it's citizens agree with these insidious remarks.

Look at the remarks that Republican Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann made on Hard Ball to Chris Mathews. Main Stream News Medias should have a moral obligation to it's viewers and your country to do commentary on these tactics and expose them for being just plain hateful and divisive.

No wonder all the respectable Republicans are jumping ship and supporting Obama and commenting on how the kooks and extremists have hijacked the party.

That's for sure – remember, these are the people that brought us WIllie Horton and questioned the service of a decorated war hero. And – Sarah Palin brings new meaning to the word slime. I just hope the American people won't fall for the nutty filthy stuff that's sure to be coming down soon...

I think McCain is hiring "Joe the plumber" to help him tear out more than just the bathroom sink and throw it at Obama....in fact, I'm pretty sure they've already thrown the toilet and are currently digging around in one of McCain's septic systems (he's got at least 9 houses to choose from, remember), desperately looking for worse objects to throw.

How is McCain going to live with himself after this election is over and he's reflecting on his loss? To stoop so low, and to what end?

McCain and Palin are out of control. McCain is going to be remembered as a grumpy ols man, and Palin will be remembered as
a brainless liar. I at one time respected John McCain, but no
more. I never thought he would he would stoop as low as he has.
And as for Palin, there is no way to describe her..She is Pathetic.

GLAD JACK IS COMING BACK, WE ALL MISS HIM

Why arent we seeing more of Joe Biden on the campaign?The only one we see is Sarah Palin which I am a little sick of! This is an election between John McCain and Obama, not their running mates!I think a lot more time is devoted to nthe Republican pty than the Democrats. Seems the media, including CNN, is trying to give us 4 more years of what we've had!Every time I turn on tv there is Palin or McCain! Lets get a little more of Obama and Joe Biden! Thanks Jim & Lynn

i am an indedendent, and more i watch the campaign, the more i lean toward the democrats.

By the way, Thank you Lou Dobbs for defending the Joe the Plumber and all that work in similar jobs! Just goes to show you what will happen to you if you speak against your Mighty Leader. Our Freedom of Speech will be taken away. I cannot wait to hear you guys whine about nothing been done.

Well that's the strategy now - if you can't win on the issues, start throwing mud as fast and as furiously as you can. Distract! Divide! Don't fall for these dirty tactics, America... you deserve better than another administration that lies and manipulates with fear.

Obama/Biden '08!

what else would you expect from a pitbull with a lipstick

The kitchen sink, and ... don't forget the plumber.

The GOP is rattling in it's own cage – trapped in it's lies.

Did you hear what congresswoman Bauchmann from Minnesota said about Obama and the Decomcrats. How disgusting. People like that do not need to hold a public office. She needs to be impeached, ejecting fear into this presidential race like this. WOW.

Give it to 'em Joe! All they have left is hate and fear and some unlicensed, unintelligent, uninformed plumber-want-to-be!

This is the only qualified Joe that I want to hear from!

Obama/Biden '08

This is the REAL Joe! May God be with you and Senator Obama on your quest for the White House!

Obama/Biden '08!

well biden is right, they will throw the toilet and the plumming too as they are desperate. but american are smarter and wiser this time around no more bush/mccain policies for another four years.

Way to go Joe!!

Oh CNN, so just because she "clarifies" her comment, it's OK now? I DON'T THINK SO! Gov Palin is still trying to divide the country and so is Sen McCain. Who wants a President/VP who are willing to incite hatred and divisiveness within the electorate to win an election? We already have that with our current administration. "Country First" my behind ... more of the same. CNN, stop trying to "sugarcoat" their tactics and being complicit in their efforts. It is not about the "politics," it is about OUR COUNTRY and a government of, by and for ALL the people - not just "Joe the plumber," "Joe six-pack" and "hockey moms" - ENOUGH!

I wonder if the fact that Joe the Plumber is a white man with a bald head means anything. I wonder if it is an accident that Joe the Plumber looks like a skin head. I wonder if John McCain has any idea the dangerous fire he is playing with. I wonder when we will see the swastikas and when McCain will dust off his old Nazi speeches and get his constituents goose stepping.
I saw a lovely piece this morning concerning Obama Bucks – the female offspring of the pathetic originators of this trash doesn't see any problem with Obama Bucks. The pathetic husband wouldn't open the screen door so that the world could see his pathetic face.
John McCain travels to a state today where the GOP chairman has publicly connected Obama with Osama Ben Ladin – so much for John McCain's public repudiation of the unlimited trash said on his behalf.
I really don't think John Lewis has anything to apologize for – he has clearly seen, heard, and felt this before. Senator Lewis knows incitement when he sees and hears it. John McCain/GOP and the powers that be would do well to listen and prepare for a possible racial backlash.
The tone and tenor of Palin's speeches, and McCain's ads have taken the low ground and have invited the worst feelings and sentiments of his constituents. This will all be part of McCain's legacy – he has sown the seeds for both a white and a black backlash. If he wins he will invite a black backlash – a very real possibility – and if he loses he will invite the same from his white constituency. It won't be a matter of if it will happen, it will be a matter for how bad it will be. I hope the authorities in NYC, Los Angeles and other major cities are preparing for this possibility.
I wonder if a race riot/war is really what we need at the present time.

McCain you also pale around with a Watergate Plumber!

Hello Sarah

Did the first dude picked the colors of the new flag for the Alaska Independent party yet? We remember your warm welcome for the AIP.
Do you know it will be impossible for the first dude to get access to the majority of areas of the White House because of his affiliation? Well no problem after all you are an expert in abuse of power.

That's right, Joe. I hope everybody realizes that. If this election comes down to one state, as it did in Florida back in 2000, we could very well be looking at a McCain/Palin victory. Fortunately, these desperate tactics only work in close elections. The best way to ensure that they don't work this time is for everybody who wants genuine change in this country to get out and vote. If they do, this election will be a landslide win for Obama. This election is Obama's to lose and he knows that complacency is his strongest rival.

Senator and Future Vice President Joe: thanks for the warning; keep it up. We have seen too many dirty rabbits pulled out of a hat at the last minute. You'd think they would get tired of living in the swamp and selling snake oil and bad fortune. These derelicts are all washed up. They don't fool me and they won't fool the American People!!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

SHAME ON YOU JOE FOR SAYING YOU KNOW THE COMMON
FOLKS. YOU HAVE NO CALOUSES ON YOUR HANDS AND THE ONLY BLISTERS MAY HAVE BEEN WHEN YOU FORGOT YOUR GOLF GOLVES. AS FAR AS BEING A PATRIOT,YES THERE ARE
THOSE THAT ARE AND SERVE,THEN THERE ARE THOSE THAT
TALK ABOUT IT. YOU NEVER SERVED YOUR COUNTRY IN
UNIFORM. BUT YOU CHOSE TO DO IT IN THE ROYAL COURT
OF CONGRESS. YOU HAVE SERVED ON FORIEN RELATIONS
FOR NEARLY A LIFE TIME AND WE HAVE THE LEAST RELATIONS
OF A GOOD NATURE ,WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN PROMOTING ALL
THOSE YEARS.

NAM VET NH

Hey JOe, say it aint so, you threw your past thoughts about Obama
out the kitchen door with all the appliances didnt ya, why dont you go to Alaska and campaign there LOLOLOLOL

I wonder if Oregon is one of the anti-American parts of the country?

By the way, I got my ballot in the mail today, marked a vote for Obama and put her right back in the mail.

My son, a U.S. soldier, says he will cast his ballot for Obama as a resident of Virginia. Also anti-American?

McCain, Palin and "Joe the fake plumber" are going down the drain.

I agree with Joe Biden. The Republicans have totally crossed the line with their negative campaign. In my opinion John McCain has lost all his honor and is a disgrace to the nation. He is taking the low road to the highest office in the land.

People in MY church family and biological family are already hitting me with it! Just in the past 24 hours, I have got articles and diatribes referring to the Obama/Biden ticket as PRO-terrorists or PRO-Muslim and calling them everything from Socialists to chickens. How can the people I love and work with, who believe in the God I serve actually swallow this vomit? We CAN fight terrorists without acting like them! We don't need to resort to Abu Gharib-like or Guantanimo tactics or torture opponents. IT just makes us lose ALL credibility with the world. YES, Obama/ Biden care about terrorism and protecting our country from those who want to destroy our way of life, BUT they don't have to ACT like the very people they oppose. Senator Obama says "You need to BE the change you seek", which is like Jesus saying "Don't only hear my words, but DO them" Senator McCain and President Bush have talked BIG, but they have NOT WALKED THE WALK! You can't appear to be outraged by the humans rights abuses of others when you employ the same tactics they do. The other NEW ploy is to call the Obama/Biden ticket "Socialist". Please Americans – recognize that we are already Socialist Democrats. We have Social Security, Medicaid/MEdicare, Welfare and Unemployment, Headstart and NOW we own joint stock in corporations, land holdings and banks. Who would wish us to be anything less, especially if you lose your job, your health, your home, etc.? Would you WANT America to be the country where everyone ONLY looks out for themselves? Come on Americans – we need a change in our country! Vote with the best of your mind and heart and those 'angels of our better nature'. Don't ALLOW the 'worst angels" to let you vote out of fear! If you believe in God, you know with God all things are possible!

If people put McCain in, they get just what they deserve. I'm African American and have had to work hard for everything I have. So McCain in office or Obama won't change life for me much. I've even gotten use to the high gas prices, along with other higher pricing. Not speaking for all African Am. but whatever we get is truly in most cases by accident, you know, the trickle down effect (Reganomics)!

Thanks Senator Biden. You are doing a great job all around and I love they way that you stand up to Palin and her negative comments. I agree with you that her comments are divisive, it appears to me that she make the comments and then whenever they are address she then clarifies, at which point the damage is already done. There is no comparsion between you and Palin, as a person or as the nex VP. You are tops!!!!

VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Biden is SO right!! Unless the vote is overwhelming in favor of Obama, the Republican machine's backdoor efforts will turn it into a McCain narrow victory. People if you support Obama GO VOTE!!!!!!!!!!! This one matters!!!!!!!!!!!!

John McSame will do anything and he will say anything to win the election. I will be glad when this is over and McSame will have to go back to the Senate and face his colleagues after the enemies he has newly acquired.

It will be glorious. In a few weeks, intellectually challenged Sara Palin, will go down in the annals of history, as the Jessica Hahn/Dan Quayle, of our time!!

OBAMA-BIDEN 08 BEEEEYATCH!

I live in Kansas.
Is Kansas a Pro America State?

To protect the US democracy is to protect the people, McCain represents the interests of the same old powers that have been making the US people poorer each year. Let's elect Obama and save the people and the US democracy!

The Republicans are using scorched -earth policy. They will do anything to win! NOT THIS TIME! Be sure to VOTE!

Biden's kitchen sink is in his bathroom?

McCain-Palin's WEAK campaign lies, evil tactics, strategies, schemes, plots, and plans towards Sen. Barack Obama –this nation's next Commander-in-Chief - will NEVER prevail !

You [ Barack Obama], are from God and have overcome them [the enemy's attacks, schemes, and plots ] , because the one [God] who is in you [ Barack Obama] is greater than the one [the enemy ] who is in the world. – 1 John 4:4

No weapon forged against you [ Barack Obama] will prevail, and you [ Barack Obama] will refute every tongue that accuses you [ Barack Obama] . This is the heritage of the servants [ Barack Obama] of the LORD, and this is their [ Barack Obama] vindication from me," declares the LORD. – Isaiah 54:17

" I [ God ] will send my terror ahead of you [ Barack Obama] and throw into confusion every nation you [ Barack Obama] encounter. I [ God ] will make all your [ Barack Obama] enemies turn their backs and run." – Exodus 23:27

The Lord will rescue me [ Barack Obama] from every evil attack and will bring me [ Barack Obama] safely to his heavenly kingdom. – 2 Timothy 4:18

For he will command his angels concerning you [ Barack Obama] to guard you [ Barack Obama ] in all your ways; they will lift you [ Barack Obama ] up in their hands, so that you [ Barack Obama ] will not strike your foot against a stone. You [ Barack Obama ] will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you [ Barack Obama ] will trample the great lion and the serpent. – Psalm 91:11-13

I have given you [ Barack Obama ] authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you [ Barack Obama ]. – Luke 10:19

It's time for the American people to get it right and NOT vote for McCain-Palin, instead vote for change. It's time for this country to turn the page and seek a new and better future for ourselves and our children.It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time to elect Barack Obama for president !

Obama-Biden are the wiser and stronger team to solve the crucial challenges we have in this nation and abroad !

Amen.

I like Joe the Senator so much more then the Phony Joe the Plumber.

Duck they might even throw Joe The Plumber at you.. Oh they already have.. I think McCain has invited joe the plumber to join his cabinet along with Joe Liberman and G Gordon Liddy.

There you go, tell it like it is Joe! Don't worry, there's enough well informed thinking people left in the USA that won't allow the fundamentaly fanatic righties to steal another election.
The time for neocon republicans to worship themselves will soon be at an end.

Ways that the Republicans fool gullible voters:

1) Tell them that they are unpatriotic if they stand up for themselves'
and not fall for Republican propaganda and phoney baloney.
(Patriotism is the last refuge for a scoundrel).

2) Tell them that they are socialist(whatever that means) if we reap
the benefits of our OWN tax dollars, while having no problem
lining their OWN pockets.

3) Convince the voter they "need" the Republicans to take care of them,
therefore a vote for them is a vote for our well being instead of
their OWN grandizment. (When was the last time the republicans
cared about the average Joe?)

4)Use fear tactics to make voters think that they are the only ones qualified to "protect"
the country. (The terrorist attacks happened on the republican's
watch, remember?)

5) Hide information about their candidates, but demand to know WHO
the democrats candidates are. Therefore their incompetence
is unknown until after they get into the white house (Bush and
now Palin). Deception.

Hopefully, Most voters have realized the Republican game, and are
fed up enough to vote and vote early. We can win this thing.

Democrats 08.

The Reptilican Nazi Party is leaving local phone messages still calling Barack a terrorist and flogging the Ayers connection. If anyone needs to drill, I would suggest trepanation in their thick ignorant skulls!

That's right ... the tide has turned and now you liberals will just have to face yet another defeat come election day. you didn't really think that obama had any real chance ... did you?

Yes Joe!!

BO and you put your country first. McCain and Palin put their contry first.

Obama/Biden 08

How dare Palin think that SHE decides who is "pro-American" or not! And how dare she suggest that only people who support HER are "patriotic"! She thinks that she is better and smarter than the rest of us–despite the fact that she was found to have abused her power and used taxpayer-funded employees to carry out her personal vendettas. If ANYONE is "unpatriotic" and "anti-American", it is Palin.

Is the Alaskan Independent Party Pro-America?

GOP will now throw more tantrums and what else who knows! Dems fold-up your arms and do not, do not let them win again. They have ruined not only America, but the whole world's economy and peace. War and economy is ruling the entire world's politics. Thanks to one idiot in the white house, G. Bush, we do not want to see another. McSame and Ms. Palin go home and sit on your millions! You do not get it, do you!!!

Get out your catcher's mitt , Joe.....you have proven you can handle anything they throw at you guys !!! VOTE EARLY>>OBAMA&BIDEN

OMG! McCain has asked Joe the not really a plumber to join him on the trail. That's great! Maybe he could make him Secretary of State, that way he could be in line for the presidency too. Picture it, McCain has a stroke, Palin from AIP becomes president, has to quit because she doesn't use birth control and has 25 kids, and then joe the not really a plumber becomes president. Only in America can uneducated, beer swigging, womenizing, racist, and down right uncouth individuals become president. Golly gee, yessiree, you gotta love it.

McCain's campaign is trying toincite people to anger and violence unprecedented in this country since the 60's. If it starts, GWB will have an excuse under his increased executive powers, to impose martial law, deploy troops (or worse, independent security forces not within the formal military chain of command) within the continental US, suspend the constitution and quite possibly declare the results of the election null and void, thereby establishing the new world order that they so desperately desire.

Just in case this doesn't happen, then look for the magical presidential pardon wand to start waving like mad in January.

Palin's "statement" didn't clarify anything! She meant what she said....that people in small town are the "best" and the "pro-American" parts of America. Well...Mrs. Palin, I am an Army Veteran, former federal employee & teacher (of Government) and I live in a large metropolitan area or big city as you would call it. I am very Pro-America and have lived the life to prove it. I resent your idea that those that live in small or rural towns are the best or the REAL America. What the heck does that mean?? The real America. If you want to know who the real Americans are, you might ask the Native Americans....but before you do that, please ask your husband why he (and you) pal around with an organization that supports the secceeding of Alaska from the REAL United States of America.

Republicans have a long history of Swiftboat poliics and election fraud. Look at Joe The Plumber! Turns out he is a registered republican working with the GOP.

The GOP looking 4 other canidate for hire sense Leiboardman,joe the pipe wrench did not help maybe the kitchen trap will be next.

Gimmicks won't help McLie. His diseased campaign is going down the sewer real quick. Now I see why he needs Joe the fake Plumber to help get his campaign out the garbage.

Joe the vice president NOT Joe the plumber.

Wrong Joe! I have personally been to parts of America where flags are burned and people curse our country. Governor Palin is RIGHT on this one!

Well Biden so much for you and Obama being for middle America. You have mocked this guy Joe the plumber for 2 days now. All the guy asked was if I buy a business and it makes over 250 am I going to get taxed more and Obama said yes. This man never said he made 250. thousand in that exchange that you and your opponent are telling people at rallies and talk shows.

Thats right Joe, everyone needs to get out and vote, people in the West, no matter what the election looks like on Nov 4th, don't think that your vote won't count.......we want a landsilde this country has never seen before.........and I live in a Red state, I am just as Pro-american as anyone else, and I do not support this war......but I still am just as Pro-american......just because we don't think and act like Palin and McCain that doesn't mean that we are not as AMERICAN as they are........this Republican Party has went to hell in a hand basket......

That's okay, Joe. Obama is used to constantly ducking all the sinks this from the primaries.

If McCain had gone through tough and long primaries like Obama, he'd be in bed with a hot water bottle, barely able to move.

McCain had all that time after his primaries to sit down with his advisors and come up with some PLANS to help this country. What do we get instead? Lipstick on a pig, Ayers lies, ACORN/Obama lies and Joe the Plumber and blaming everything under the sun on Obama.

kitchen sink, the microwave ,the dining table , sofa , the bed and all that we can find to protect liberty from socialism . That’s the obama plan. i will fight to death for my freedom.

"Other parts of the bathroom are coming"

How can you not love this guy? lol

CONAN THE DELAWARIAN SHALL SMITE YOUR TOILET POLITICS!!!

Would like someone to explain the voting procedure, on how voting a straight ticket will not count for your president pick. I here you must pick the president first then you can vote a straight ticket? True or Flase?

Biden is right. They're flailing around like a couple of bleeding boxers.

McCain's Advisor was asked about the Rep.'s position on Education...and he answered "WE CAN'T SUPPORT-ALL INTEREST GROUPS"

AND THAT PROVES, WHY AMERICA IS IN THE 'FINANCIAL CRISIS'

OBAMA/BIDEN '08-'12

I found those comments offensive, especially coming from a VP candidate. There are no "pro-american" parts of the united states of America. What the heck is going on with these people? Why would you want to continue to divide a country? We all rise and fall as "one" country! 911 affected all the people of the "united states of America", not "pro or con" america! Wake up people and vote not to get these people elected as leaders of "America".

I think both campaigns are being "divisive". Isn't that the nature of politics? Also, was it the bathroom sink or the kitchen sink? Honestly I can't tell what he is talking about half the time.

Get out your catcher's mitt, Joe !! You have proven you can handle anything they throw at you guys !!! VOTE EARLY>>OBAMA&bIDEN

I am European, not American and follow great interest your elections since its effects us European citizens as well. The US has been the wrong direction and because of the influence of the US, the rest of the world has been going to the same direction.
The US needs to change direction and so does the rest of the world.
Your choice for president in the next elections is crucial to you and the rest of us.
You need change and so do we. You need fresh creative brains.
The choice is actually simple and it's the young, open-minded 21st-century orientated young senator from Illinois.
The choice is yours.

Biden is 100% correct. The McCain camp will do what ever it can to win the White House but they are doing it the dirtiest, rotten way that I have ever seen. Obama and Biden's depth of honor, integrity, and vision for America is what is needed for the United States. I'd rather Obama's cool temper rather then the slight looks and hot-under-the-
collar that's ready to explode when angered that McCain brings to the game.

With all the trash that is out there on the trail, I won't be suprised to see them throw the toilet. We all know McCain and Palin are flow of crap.

Joe, I like you and Barack, here's the problem in my opinion a Liberal House and Senate allied with a the most Liberal President Obama, is once again one party rule. We suffered under the Repuk administration with the same formula, what a MESS we now have, and after two years of a Democratic Congress minus the veto proof margin the only thing that has happened is the MESS is now comming home like a THUNDER THUD, on the taxpayer. Sorry, but I'm going to put some balance in this equation a Repuk Pres and a Democratic Congress only then will We the People get a Gov't that will work for us and not just the quote poor and under achievers.

Biden you are so right. They have thrown Joe the Plumber at us.
Next it will be Joe the Bartender and Joe the POW!

Joe, you are certainly right about that! The McCain/Palin scumboat campaign is despicable.

Regrettably it is not uncommon to see a measure of negativity and even questionable integrity and some dishonesty in presidential campaigns but I don’t think it has ever been as bad as we are seeing now. The ‘swift boat’ attacks on John Kerry definitely fell into that category but they were almost mild compared to what the McCain-Palin camp is doing. Since Palin came on board she has demonstrated a total absence of any need to insure fact and appropriateness and has simply been caught several times, which she then just shrugs off; that may be due in part to her writers and their efforts to overcome her knowledge shortfall. While it does reflect heavily on her character it hasn’t been limited to her and as the numbers keep favoring Obama more, the whole McCain camp has become more desperate and while really neglecting the issues has become more negative and demonstrates less quality. They are digging for and using any dirt without regard for its pertinence or validity. Recently John McCain admitted that the attacks on Obama regarding Bill Ayers were really stretching things yet his campaign is now conducting automated phone calls referring to it as being a terrorist connection and implying it negatively impacts Obama. Anyone who saw the last debate has to know that Obama answered that accusation and then the ACORN accusation as well completely and reasonably with valid answers and then challenged McCain to deal with the real issues which are so important to the voters. McCain-Palin’s refusal to focus on the issues tells its own story and their continuing with the totally negative approach tells another story: first, they have no valid answers for accomplishing real change or any resolution of the problems; second, their negativity identifies their preferred way of handling things and even their personal character. It would be a terrible shame if McCain’s tactics work as we have just had one president who has been grossly dishonest, arrogant, self-indulgent, irresponsible, without conscience and totally focused on a private agenda for the benefit of a select few and we sure don’t need to follow with another one. Better said, we literally can’t take more of the same!

Get out your catcher's mitt , Joe !! You have proven you can handle anything they throw at you guys. VOTE EARLY>>>OBAMA7& BIDEN

If only McCain makes more people see and hear that piece about spreading wealth, Obama is done for. People will know him for what he is- a radical socialist. He wont be able to hide behind his fuzzy rethoric anymore.

McCain still won't say Obama's name. Correction: he won't say his first or last names.

CONAN THE DELAWARIAN SNICKERS AT THE IMPOTENT HATE!

I don't understand why the following is not a bigger deal:

Sarah Palin's husband "The First Dude" was a member of the AIP, which wanted Alaska to be separated from the United States of America. I don't think Sarah Palin's husband is even "pro-America"... What is Sarah's feelings about her husband's beliefs?

This is no small matter.

It's that time of the election where supporters need not waiver. They need to stand firm and turn up to vote. Republicans are good with this game and turning it around. I agree with Biden that Bathroom Sink is ready to come. The difference in this election is we have people like Palin on one side who are dividing the country against pro americans and not so pro. small towns and big towns. you have Barack who wants to unite the country to fight gigantic issues facing US and the world. Choice is clear.

This plumber business on the part of the GOP is becomming a real "Dog and Pony show". How desperate they have become.
Have they nothing else to talk about???

good for BIDEN! I am an independent and I am sick of PALIN's divisive comments.....has she said anything positive!

I am in VA and I have now decided to vote for OBAMA.....

I'm done with Repub. politics forg now...

Senator Biden is right on.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is "terror' scare or the like to scare the voter.

If you remember, Osama bin Laden popped on hte screen with some threat of the Friday before vote in 2004. I wonder what they have up their sleeve this time.

Unfortunately, I couldn't agree with him more. The Reps are playing dirty pool. I don't know why anyone would fall for anything out of a Republicans mouth after the last 8 years.

It is sad that Even his good friend Colin Powell seems disapointed in McCain's tactics

And they make fun of how Gov. Palin speaks. Go smoke a doobie, 'man.'

Yes, Joe, you are right! The Republicans have already been doing their worst and yes, I believe it will be worse.

As a Christian, i am disturbed by the hate incited at rallies, the lies being told and the questioning of Americans....... Patriotism!

These are all Fascists tactics. To lie, question, demean. I am reminded of the Nazis in 1920' & 1930's Germany when they began a propaganda campaign of LIES and rallies that would incite hate and violence against the Jewish People!

CNN reported yesterday on the CNN Newsroom with Rick Sanchez on the vile and hateful comments of some Republicans lined up to enter into a Palin rally.

CNN showed a clip of a white sheet hanging from someone's front yard tree, with a rope around its 'neck' the head had a Star of David, and the body an Obama sign! IF THIS IS NOT HATE WHAT IS?

PLEASE, AMERICA, LET'S REJECT THE REPUBLICAN-HATE-LIES-AND-FEAR POLITICS!

**********STOP THE HATE*******************STOP THE LIES**********

Its ironic how Biden can complain about the Republicans "throwing the kitchen sink" but somehow it is perfectly ok for him to do so. How hypocritical.

Somehow people have been duped into believing that they are going to get something for nothing from the Democrats. Tax cuts and in fact for those who currently pay no taxes (about 40% of the filers) a check in the mail from those people that have earned more than $250,000 , free healthcare, endless new jobs, no more oil , increased Social Security benefits and retirement at 55 instead of 65. It sure sounds good.

Funny thing ...... if we are going to get all of this ......why do we have to work? And what happens when all those people making more than $250,000 take their money out of the country and imagine if they decide to move their businesses to Ireland ......or could it be that they may have to eliminate jobs?

But then again nobody will have to work right? The Goverment will provide you with everything you will need. heh?

Sarah Palin is such an EMBARRESSMENT for the U-S-A !!!

Well what has Obama been doing???

Neither party can be trusted... that is the horrible truth!!!

What is worse is the treatment of "Joe the Plumber"... He did not ask for this and Obama's campaign team should not be looking into this man's personal business... Don't even get me started on the US Media...

Once again proving that politicians do not care about the voter or the "little guy"... Everyone wonders why we have lost faith in our government... it is simple they will do or say anything for a vote!!!

It's going to get ugly! Everyone needs to vote early!

McCain can hammer in NC as much as he likes, the majority will not believe his lies. All he is doing is critizising Obamas plan, because he protects only the rich and the wealthy and his own millions.
And Joe the plumber is nothing more then a fluke.

Obama / Biden 08

I don't believe that I have ever seen a campaign so divisive as what Palin (under McCain) spews out. I cringe everytime I hear her speak! McCain (I thought) was a good decent guy – until his VP pick started taking off her bright pretty wrapping and revealed the ugliness beneath that seems to spread at her rallies. Joe Biden is right – there will be a lot more ugliness thrown around before this is all over. I am an uncommitted christian and I even know that the Bible (if that is what is motivating Ms Palin) does not approve of her methods and style – she might as well be an atheist. I will be sixty one just days before the election – and survived the "60's" – I remember how ugly politics can get when war is being fought – at least those in the military now have the choice to go in – and that's a good thing!

gop are buch of crooks

Smear is a GOP tactic. Especially when they have nothing else to use.

Intelligent republicans and conservatives have jumped ship. Of course McSame is desperate. Only idiots are climbing aboard at this point. Sarah will be on SNL tonight, to give America another chance to laugh at her. (Hint: Sarah, we are laughing at you, not with you) And now they are using this phony plumber named Joe, or Sam, or whatever. America should be prepared for McSame to throw anything, absolutely anything, into the mix at this point, in an effort to distract us from the true issues. McSame is an erratic, pathetic loser, and it's not going to work this time.

Palin continue to put her foot in her mouth and it is down right ugly. I could not vote for McCain and Palin's ticket. I am still trying to figure out which states and towns are pro Amercian and which one are not. Please ask.

You can now ADD DENVER POST to the list of newspapers throwing their support behind barack, just yesterday and today!

They have already thrown whatever they could get their grubby mitts on ,now they are doing the food stamp to depict all blacks as being on the welfare rolls but if they check their facts they will find out that there not as many blacks on welfare as they think.Ignorance it not always bliss.It is an easy way for people to didvide the races which is sad that they have no platform to run on.

The robo-calls, the smear mailings from the McCain Campaign surely have people around the globe wondering about the virtures of American democracy. America is the incredible shrinking country; economically and morally. Viewing the clips of the blantant racist outbursts from people in line at McCain/Palin rallies should make every American ashamed that these attitudes still exist and these people believe their behavior is acceptable. IT IS NOT! I keep waiting for the national media to shine the light of disdain and humiliation on these campaign tactics and racist behaviors, but so far I am sadly disappointed at their shameful silence. If I hear that John McCain is a decent man one more time, but it is his campaign handlers that are playing dirty, I am going to shoot my TV. McCain has proven he is not decent. McCain is the head of the campaign and he is responsible for the filth. If he is elected, he will have no moral authority to lead.

As an undecided, moderate independent, I am surprised at the tone of the campaigns, but I am most surprised by Joe Biden's nastiness. He is by and far, out of the four candidates, the most negative and the most out of line, and I am shocked that the media hasn't covered him. He said at first that he accepts Palin's explanation, and now he's attacking her even farther. He disgusts me.

I agree with Biden, Palin meant what she said about going to "pro-America" parts of the county. It's been their strategy all along, like somehow just because we don't agree with their views, we're not real Americans. It was like that in the Bush administration and it's their view now. It's not just their views, but their base says the same things, look at all the blogs and other negative postings they leave up. I say let's show them what real Americans do, we vote!

This whole election is beyond the point of ridiculous especially in light of our serious economical crisis.

I wish both candidates and their running mates stop the attacks and start talking about their own ideas and plans for the economy and the rest of the issues in America.

The one thing that keeps sticking in my mind is that while McCain might be good at war, what we need now is a president that is good at diplomacy and peace.

McCain cannot see any other opinion other than his own and it shows in his demeanor–very rigid man and shoots first and asks questions later. Is this what America needs? Plus, I McCain has been a elected official since 1984 and what has he changed? Nothing as far as I can tell. Don't think a "old dog can learn new tricks."

However, Obama's temperment and willing to look at other ideas impresses me. Obama with the help of good advisors will be much better to navigate these very troubling times in my opinion.

Joe Biden is absolutely right. McCain is already using the same dirty and hate-filled tactics employed on him back in 2000! How shameful. McCain is a coward!

She didn't clarify anything during that 'in-flight' interview...

She bent over backwards...givin' some explanation a six year old would give...

Again...another proof that when caught off guard...she fails the test !!!

Only good job she's doin' in my view is convincing the undecided to NOT vote for her...

McCain = JOBS

obama = WELFARE

VOTE SMART!

I just find it highly interesting that the Mccain/Palin ticket is just now trying to come out with all the rhetoric. It would be a different story perhaps if even a 1/4 of the trash they are spewing was atleast factually provable.

I think the GOP likes to specialize in throwing the toilet–or at least its contents.

Sorry Joe – you are OK – BUT – that other guy – is a FRAUD!
obama is an arrogant, radical FRAUD – and his corrupt gang members are trying to ACORN STEAL the election.
Americans are SMART and we will not let obama BULLY his way to the top.

VOTE MCCain – we can TRUST him

I think McCain and Palin are throwing this trash because they don't want the peolpe to discuss her skeltons in her closet,her and her husband with all they have done and the media don't discuss those issues,they talk about Obama being racial what bout Sara and her husband the both seems racial to men and working with wicked people they wanted to take alaska for under the United States and media talks about these issues and being charge with abuse of power so little discuss.

People need to make calls to all their young people. Young people need to clearly understand that if they do not vote, Obama looses.

Other parts of the bathroom are coming. And Joe the Plumber will be there to help!

Yes, things are going to get even uglier. McCain and company are going to try everything they can think of, and given McCain's erratic behavior, his campaign is likely to be all over the place until election day. I expect that the race will tighten as we get closer to election day, perhaps close enough that the Republican election stealing machine can be used to successfully steal the Presidency a third time. As Americans, we cannot let our country be stolen again, and we must be prepared to react - peacefully - if there is another election theft. American and the world's future is at stake, and we cannot afford McCain or Palin in the White House. Obama wins a fair election, but Republicans are willing and able to steal an election.

Joe Biden I agree with you. Those Republicans are deseparate now more than ever to win this race with dirty tactics and I agree the bathroom is coming. But we all must remember that God don't like ugly and what goes around comes around.

I would think that decent republicans would be embarressed,
ashamed and disgusted at the path their party has taken.
Mccain/palin campaign will go down as the sleeziest in
the history of our country.
This is such a critical time in our lives. Voters want to hear
how the candidates want to help us, our country, not
lies, distortions and attacks.
This is a time when our country needs to unite, stand
strong, not be torn apart with politicians spewing anger,
hatred fear. The radicals are being spoon fed, fueling
their irresponsible beliefs and actions.
Stand strong Americans. No more politics as usual.

Joe why aren't you talking about Sarah Palins lies and that she abused power in alaska?????

That's the only thing that McNasty and the Caribou Barbie can do now. Hurl insults and accusations that aren't true.

Oh great! Another kitchen "STINK" strategy. Can't wait.

I saw the republican representative from MN on MSNBC last night. She called for investigations into which democrats in congress were "anti-American"!! SOME republican idiots are trying to incite civil war in the US! John McCain will go down in history as the "hero" who nearly tore the country apart because he'd rather lose a country than lose an election to a bi-racial man. Some hero. More like "zero".

i think old mcsame has found the guy and gal who will run his beauty and the beast contest..

Joe "the plumber," and Jane "the average hockey mom"

oh lord get ready for this...

what a joke they are

the GOP is desperate adn the more stupidity they do , the worst they get,
why does CNN gives palin and mcain and their joe so much attention when we have such a crisis,
shall we say
CNN the enquirer being read by palin???
CNN has reported more and more silly things that have nothing to do with our national crisis our problems
and yet they thing this is news?

please CNN either

report the news
or get a life in AK with palin

Now that Joe the Plumber is out there campaigning with Mccain, it looks like Mccain will go to any expense to use American citizens in his campaign to win at the last moment...
By the way, this Joe guy certainly does NOT represent me and my views, if that's what you were hoping for John.

We need to start a law suit to stop the robocalls.

Yeah they're throwing all kinds of stuff and now they're doing what they can to discourage voters from coming out and voting.

I pray to God that people will see through this and demand to stand up and be counted, unlike the last 2 elections. This voter intimidation crap has got to stop! I for one have had enough–I hope you all have too!
