@ Ken....well said!!

I grew up in the 50s and was taught that credit was to be used only to purchase large ticket items such as homes and cars. Over the past 8 years credit has been used to purchase everything, ranging from food to vacations. We have been living in an inflated world (houses and stock market) and the bubble had to burst.

So if Obama is "spreading the wealth around", despite things like voting for the largest corporate welfare bill in the history of the country, then you would have to say Bush did the same with his rebate checks (although at the time, progressive were calling them petty bribes).

Joe, Bob, Tito and all the rest, vote Obama and for once in your lives get on a winning team.

Tito? Does he earn a quarter million?

It's getting funnier by the minute.

Keep talking Sara...I voted for Obama/Biden last week here in VA.

CNN, please give us a photo of Tito The Builder so we can have a better laugh!

When are they bringing around Joe the Oil Man? There's a Joe the Republican party is really keeping an eye out for! Anyone with half a brain knows better than to listen to the verbal vomit constantly spewing from Sarah Palin's mouth. She sickens me as an American, as a woman, and as a human being.

She meant Bob the builder. She didn't study foreign politics nor does she regularly read any type of periodicals, sounds like she watch PBS kids all day. What a total idiot on the republican ticket.

Palin the power abuser : Go back to Alaska. Signed Helene the librarian.

Tito the builder you are another loser for The gray hair elephant, baracuda.

Palin, you just don't get it. Please start reading before running for VP.

You're not ready to be president = job of VP.

People are learning – McCain has POOR judgement.

Sarah Palin is the worst thing to happen to this election. Every word she says brings the country down to a second grade intellect. She does not represent America and should not have anything to do with the White House. McCain choosing Palin as VP will be his reason for not winning Nov. 4.

To Hispanic Voter – typical uneducated blog! Clinton's surplus was due to the fact that he was an absolute chicken sh$$, raised our taxes, etc. If you fail to remember, there have been 2 war, 9/11, etc. That's where the $$ went and, while Bush was at it, he LOWERED your taxes, if you even pay any.

I would like to thank Sarah Palin, as Governor of Alaska, for having awarded the $40B natural gas pipeline contract to TransCanada.

Its good that Alaska is outsourcing jobs to Canada.

Mike...Here's a challenge: Listen to the interview. The entire interview! It may require an attention span that could prove to be taxing on your narrow sound-bite imagination....The gist of Obama's analysis is that the Courts should NOT be the answer to all issues, that people have to pick themselves up from the bottom and work toward solving their problems on their own....A notion championed by conservitive and liberal lawmakers and very much in line with the recent pushes from the right that the courts should NOT be political activists....As I said, Mike...for you to get this IT WILLrequire an Attention Span beyond that of a gnat....

one tax script, lower taxes for under $250,000, high taxes for above $250,000. and dudes... its not like we don't pay taxes now.

How about bringing out Sarah the Dimwit?? Oh wait, she's already here

As an retired member of the Special Air Service I can say without any doubt at all that John McCain is suffering from a combat related stress.

This, considering the panic he is under, is easy to understand when you consider that his running mate Sarah Palin has stabbed him in the back.

It's also evident because of the diminishing crowds he attracts while Sarah Palin draws larger crowds than he does and because of these factors among others I see a once proud man diminishing before our eyes. It's really sad....

The true irony however is that Palin won't win in 2012 either. People will remember how this disaster of a woman screwed any chance at all of gaining the White House

This is hilarious, now I am just waiting on DORA THE EXPLORER!! Barack the Vote America!!

Obama/Biden '08

Oh Sarah the rogue Maverick........Just SHUT UP!!!
That is all.

fake hugs and air kisses,
Sam

I think this is ridiculous that Sarah runs on absolutely nothing.

With HIV/AIDS on the rise around American nearly 1 and 20 people living in Washington, DC has HIV according to the Washington Post. This is a epidemic that Obama has touched on, but neither McCain nor Palin even recognizes this as a problem.

Barack Obama will expand funding for research of HIV, especially for prevention options including a vaccine and microbicides.

McCain and Palin are out of touch plans to do nothing about HIV/AIDS issue that is causing millions of people to die around the world.

We Need Change.

Obama/Biden 08

Palin supporter? Where? I haven't met one and I can't even begin to mentally construct what that individual would be like. Maybe it's the ever important "Member of the Desperate Housewives Fan Club" voting block. Or, the I-vote-with-my-eyes-and-not-my-mind voter. Get 'R Don't!

Why does Palin continue to miss the point? It is not about the clothes, yes a bit about the cost, but mostly about the fact the she allowed RNC/McCain/whoever they want to blame to dress her and her family up as something they weren't. Are you telling me that you do not have appropriate clothing? Fine, I understand about the RNC, but the events after? Are you saying that you just do as you are told? Really? And we are suppose to put this country in your and McCain's hands? Seems like time and time again, you both proved that your judgement is faulting.

As for the labels, please, we are TIRED of it.

To all those who keep screaming "No Socialism in our great Country!"
just think about this.

Ever since the first tax was inacted in this nation we have been a "socialist" country when it comes to "redistributing the wealth."

You pay taxes to the government and it uses your money to pay for the military, for space programs, for food stamp programs, for highways, for welfare programs, for universities, bridges, schools etc etc.

I'd say we're are already there.....and we have been since the beginning.

Every President, every Congress and every Senate in this nation's history is guilty of this. And it will most certainly continue in the future no matter who is elected.

You all need to get over this and deal with a little reality, I think.

Tito vs Bob in an ultimate fighting CAGE match for the Builder Title belt!!! Coming this Sunday Sunday Sunday!!! Tune in!!

This is a joke. Tito the builder? hahahahahaha

Learn about this man Mr. Obama. Do NOT just go along with the promise of hope… I know we all need things to be better. Obama is not the answer he promises:

From Audacity of Hope:
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

From Dreams of My Father:
"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."

"I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."

Enough already with this joe the plummer or tito the builder or wen dy the waitress stuff! Sound like she's talking to a bunch of 1st graders. Who is she going to mention next? Dora the Explorer? Thomas the Tank Engine? Winnie the Pooh?

Funny how it was reported this weekend that the largest paper in Alaska backed BARACK OBAMA ... hmmm funny when your own hometown paper doesn't support you Sarah!!!!!!!

Go ahead workers, vote Obama – especially if you don't care about losing the right to a secret ballot for union votes.

No biased "moderaton hell" at sodaheaddotcom. come on over and be free to express your views!

Perhaps you can forward your 150,000 wardrobe to Tito the builders family after your packing up to head back to Alaska after the elections?

From the begining of time all government have had a social plan ,other wise it would not be a country to govern.

I've read and heard enough, Joe the Plumber, Tito the Builder, Mario the Meatpacker, Harriet the Hairdresser, Elvin the Electrician...come on GOP, give us a plan, a real plan and don't parade people on stage whose only interest is to promote their own agenda or political aspirations as Joe the Plumber.....

Given that the newspaper with the largest circulation in Alaska endorsed the Obama/Biden ticket says something about Palin and her Stepford Wife approach to this entire campaign.....The new GOP, the party of stupid.

I thought Sarah the lying shopaholic hated labels.
Well I can't wait until next Tuesday so I can be Todd the voter and send her pathetic backside back to Alaska.
She can take Todd the power abuser and Willow, Piper, and Trig the the stage props back to AK with her.
On Nov. 4th we the people will make it known that we repudiate her and the Rovian style of politics.

I JUST READ SOME DISTURBING NEWS ABOUT JOHN MCCAIN'S CO-FOUNDING OF AN EXTREMIST, RADICAL, TERRORIST ORGINIZATION KNOWN AS "THE PROJECT FOR A NEW AMERICAN CENTURY"!!! I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR JOHN MCCAN EVER, HE WANTS TO START WORLD WAR III BY STAGING A SYNTHETIC WAR WORLD WIDE AGAINST MUSLIMS!!! JOHN MCCAIN IS A CRUSADER!!!

The abuse syndrome: When you get used, you develop a cycle of using (abusing) others for your own ends. It's FAILIN, Palin.

Seriously?

"Tito the Builder..."

uhhh i dont understand how more absurd this can get.....Is she trying to reach out to the Nickelodeon/Disney Demographic?

I could use that 4.000.purse she got for her daughter. What a waste when people are losing their homes and jobs.

I can't wait for the interview with Sarah the Former VP Candidate.

This article sickens me. Using incendiary words like "cracked" and "diatribe" are so biased it is laughable.

What a ridiculous circus...

Where is JOE, the BANKER?

she is sick

I think this is ridiculous that Sarah runs on absolutely nothing.

Obama/Biden 08

Are the Republicans trying to recreate the Village People!! Barack the Vote America!!

Obama/Biden '08

YOU OBAMA SUPPORTERS WILL GET YOUR MESSIAH NEXT WEEK.

YOU ARE PUTTING A MAN IN CONTROL OF THIS COUNTRY THAT WILL DESTROY IT IN 42 MONTHS AFTER HE TAKES POWER.

I NEVER THOUGHT IN MY LIFETIME THAT THIS COUNTRY WOULD EVER DO THIS AS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE.

GOD PLEASE COME SAVE YOUR PEOPLE.

McCain said himself that tax cuts disproportionately benefit the wealthiest incomes, and then he adopted Bush's irresponsible tax plan to kowtow to the far right base. McCain is not the man of principle I used to support. So sad.

No way, no how, no McCain, no Palin

Eight is enough!

Darling Sarah,

I don't give a rat's behind about "Joe the Plumber" or "Tito the Builder." If these people allow themselves to be used by a political party, they deserve to be put under the microscope. I know there are a lot of people who said that the democrates ruined "Joe the Plumbe" because they looked into his past. However, it is the Republicans who bring up his name and use him at every event. Having said that, I recall at a recent stop where Obama was called a Socialist by a woman (who probably is receiving the Social Security a Socialist program) and who wouldn't shake Obama's hand when it was extended to her.

I have not heard or read anything about this woman so, who is using who???

you betcha

Do any of you "socialist" name-callers have any idea what you're going on about? Capitalism isn't divinely-inspired. It's naively idealistic to imagine that free markets exist in reality; somebody owns all the markets I ever heard of, and nothing is free.

The fact is that Obama is in favor of allowing the law to revert to what it was during the most prosperous period of this generation. It's also true that much of the appearance of an economic boom that's taken place during the Bush years has been illusory, the product of too much borrowed money being squandered on spending that produced no returns.

Economic transactions require both supply and demand. Bush policies have tilted the playing field so much in favor of supply that demand has been drying up for years, a fact hidden under wave after wave of borrowed money, shoring up a declining standard of living with debt. Well, the debt party's over, and if we don't take steps to revitalize the demand sectors of our economy, we're in a collapse that will leave us unable to make the payments on our accrued debt.

Bush policies have driven this nation to the edge of national bankruptcy. It's well past time to stop being stupid.

Is it me or does the name "Tito" the builder sound like a stereotype?

I really admire the Republican party. They are great at getting people who do not get benefits from their policies to be their champions. That is quite a feat. I mean most of the people crying about protecting their wealth probably do not have any wealth to protect. It is the rich Americans that have the wealth but it is the people in the republican party that do not have any wealth that are protecting it for them. Look at the demographics of the people that vote republican. They are the people who would benefit under BO but will vote for mccain. That is something the republicans can be proud of. Their motto is vote mccain and ignore what we have done to you.

Tito the Builder is too stupid to realize his taxes will go down in an Obama administration..but saying stupid Republican is redundant.

Thanks Sarah,

You're turning off the people in the middle more and more with your simple-minded speeches. The U.S. is tired of this right-wing ideologue crap, we need solutions, wherever they come from. Every time you open your mouth you prove that the GOP doesn't have a clue.

Obama 08 & 12

Hi, my name is Justin the Voter, and I'll be voting for Obama/Biden

I voted the 1st day of early voting here in Texas. Our city polls show that Obama won this city by a 69-32 margin of early voters. This state is going blue. And if the Reptilicans are not careful with their campaign rhetoric or the "purging" of votes. There is likely going to be a race war of this country that steals votes. The "Real Americans" are not going to tolerate this 3 eletions in a row.

because that makes all the financial sense to YOU!

though you'll NEVER hear that advice from wall street thieves.

housing prices will go down to half of what they were at peak,

and stay at that level for a LONG time.

spread the word to your beleagured relatives and friends.

Did she make sure it wasn't an illegal alien?

We're going to lose freedom because of Obama. What freedom? Like freedom of choice which McCain/Palin want to take away from us? Who is brainwashing these folks?

Palin the Secessionist

Palin appears to be out for herself lately not senator McCain at all! She would much prefer the attention be on herself as negative as it is! The McCain campaign is collapsing because of her antics what a shame for a descent honorable man like senator McCain bet he didn't count on her being a thorn in the campaign! I wouldn't want her one step away from the white house No way No how Palin/McCain!
E.J in Tacoma

Bob the Builder, Dora the Explorer Etc, Sara Palin lives in cartoon land and anyone who thinks she is Ready to be President also lives in Cartoon land!

Any forn of taxation is a redistribution of wealth. Come on people (sorry, few people who want to hold on to this dying dream). We have a tax system based on income. I think they may call it something like 'income tax.' Different people are taxed a different rates to provide government services to all. That's no socialism, it's not marxist, it's just the way it is. But, I do call someone getting $150,000 for clothes and lord knows how a month for a stylist welfare.

Tito the builder huh? Sarah, has your team made sure Tito is really a builder that pays his/her taxes on time?

Only 8 more days to go. I have never seen such a dunce/moron/idiot as a political figure. Get this woman off the stage.

Obama/Biden 2008/2012.

I think this is ridiculous that Sarah runs on absolutely nothing.

PALIN,

YOU HAVE AN IMPEECHMENT COMING UP SOON YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THAT.

This woman has a huge credibility issue

The republicans are so far off message that they are resorting to "tito the builder"...gheesh! they have flogged every dead horse in the stable. I truly believe it's to late for them...no one is listening anymore. I suppose Palin will choose "tito" as her running mate in 2012....pahleeeze!

Please get this lady out of my state. She is not welcome here!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

OMG! Guess their campaign must be running out of steam with Joe the Plumber. Sorry and Sad, my friends! This woman should definitely be in the lowlight on the day that the LARGEST newspaper in the state of ALASKA, the Anchorage Daily News endorsed BARACK OBAMA, stating the they consider the thought of Sarah Palin being a minute away from the Oval Office just "too risky". One week from tomorrow, folks, she'll be turning in her expensive costumes, as well as the outfits of the kids, and heading back to the Thrift Store in Alaska.
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12 YES WE CAN!!!!

Anyone else who's sick of this twit, raise your hands!

Does anyone else feel like singing.............

CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO GET, HOW TO GET TO SESAME STREET

Whats with these kidding slogans.

Our economy downfall started in the 1980's when jobs were oursourced overseas. Obama or McCain won't fix our economy unless us consumers just say no to imports, buy "made in america" if you can. Otherwise Tito the Builder, Joe the Plumber, are all going to be unemployed, and if we have a democratic controlled congress and president, we will have more entitlements and greater national debt that will put our economy out for good.

Wow; what childish campaign! Do they think the American people are idiots that can't understand what they have to say without Joe the Plumber and Tito the Builder? But then again; they have no message that people can understand, so they do have to use these childish messages. Go out and vote!!! Get Barack into the White House to get some respect back for the United States of America.

This is what we call voter fraud. The names of characters that don't exist. The Republicans is the fraud and now we know. McCain/Palin. Keep paying these characters and maybe they will show up to vote.

Josip Broz TITO was also the communist leader of the Former Yugoslavia!

Que Tito the Builder y-que nada! Estan Locos! This is the anti-imigration ticket. Shame on the Repugnant Party for dissing Latinos then using one to replace thier phony Plumber!

And one other thing...Sarah the Jilted Beauty Queen needs to stop talking to the electorate as if we are all a bunch third graders.

GO OUT AND VOTE FOR CHANGE NOT FOR CARIBOU MCSAME!

Anyone else catch the skit on Colbert last week about this? What's next, Dora the explorer, Bob the buiilder?

This Joe the... and Tito the ... make the McCain campaign sound as though they are talking to kindergarteners. Shows what they think of the American voters...

When is she going to bring out "Todd – the member of the AIP" or "Sarah – the abuser of power" or "Cindy – the drug addict" or John – the adulter."

Why hasn't she released her medical records? Maybe they will reveal the real mother of the down syndrone child, ya think?

Joe the plumber, Tito the Builder... Add a few more and we'll have a Village People reunion. McCain/Palin campaign has been a joke. Tired of the negativity and fear-mongering. And if I hear Palin call herself a maverick one more time I'll puke!!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08... Get out and vote people!!

You McCain supporters need to shut up about socialism. Do you even know what socialism is? Do your research before shouting out nonsense? Where do you think most of the programs (federal, state, local come from)? It is from the taxpayers. Are you saying taxpayers are socialist? If you do some research on taxes and Obama's plan, he will not TAX you for $250,000 or less? You people you should go see the documentary movie I.O.U.S.A indicating how America is spending too much. America has a huge deficit and it began with Regan, Clinton was able to make it a surplus, which was suppose to be for the next 25 years. What happened? Bush economics has put us in a deep hole and we are in a bigger deficit than the Regan administration. The Republicans have not changed their view on economics and look at where we are at? We are in the 21st century. Go vote early and see whose plan is better!!!! Obama/Biden

I cant wait to hear palin the loser after Nov 4.

Taxes are nothing more than a redistribution of wealth. Those who earn more are taxed more. That is not socialism.

Americans want government to provide good roads, sewer, water, etc., etc. but they don't want to be taxed? Who do they think is going to pay for all this stuff?

We complain about our tax dollars going to welfare yet we won't give those who do work and want to work a helping hand.

Another report just moments ago that there is more in fighting in the MCCain camp over Palin..........she is not sticking to the messages they are giving her to make in her rallies........they think she knows they have lost and so now she is trying to push her own agenda for her political career..........sorry this woman will have NO Political career after this election..........another Robo call has gone out against Obama from the McCain camp, using his POW buddies to spead his lies........it's bad enough that McCain has thrown his HONOR to the dogs now he has got his ex-POW buddies doing it.........how disgraceful............McCain is a 72 year old man and if you don't think that our enemies are going to test him to see what the old man and his VP Mama will do......your crazy........he'd be the first one that our enemies would test......

Check the facts regarding each candidates tax plans. I earn $50,000 per year, and will get tax cuts under the Obama plan. Something McCain/Palin doesn't want you to know.

Are you kidding me? These Palin supporters are out there.

Nothing different from the Palin/McCain campaign just more of the same lies and distortion and fear mongering. They just don't seem to get it that the public isn't buying fear and hate and just want policy and truth. No wonder they are slipping so far behind.

Palin and McCain fail to campaign honestly that Obama will cut taxes for "Tito the builder" and "Joe the plumber." Enough of the nonsense.

Obama/Biden '08

Maybe she should have Bob the Builder come out and campaign for her. You know Bob probably supports her.

This is just funny. The McCain campaign has turned a legitimate argument into a "cheap" slogan. These people really don't know how to get their message out.

I can guarantee as well that Tito the builder does not make $250,000 a year. I find it funny when they talk about Obama's plan to raise taxes on the wealthy, then they trot out someone who is NOT wealthy and say Obama's plan will hurt that person. High income earners, many o which have employees, will have to pay a little more taxes to help fund programs that will LOWER THEIR EXPENSES. If an employer has to pay $20,000 extra a year in income tax, but can save $40,000/year on health care premiums for their employees, it is a no brainer!

I've never heard McCain and Palin say how they'll pay for their platform-I read, I think on a CNN fact check, that the price tag for McCain's promises isn't very different from that for Obama's. In particular, how does the Republican ticket intend to finance a continuing Iraq war and a surge in Afghanistan while lowering taxes? By borrowing more from China?

So here is the deal. I am hearing the media claim that McCain's apparent defeat is because of the failing economy over the past month.

I HAVE NEWS FOR THE NEWS.

The McFalin campaign is in defeat because they are republican period. This country has seen so much deceit and negative posturing over the past 8 years that the American people are just fed up.

This is a republican issue. I say this because the McFalin campaign is just another extension of the lies, smoke and mirrors and deceit that this nation and other nations has experienced over the last 8 years from this republican party. The replublicans will spin at all cost.

NO MORE!

Maybe the GOP is starting their own version of the Village People.

Tito The Builder, Joe The Plumber, Sarah The Moose Hunter, John The Maverick... what a joke!

My favorite guy was the one dressed up like the Indian, followed closely by the guy dressed like a cop.

I heard he looked absolutely fetching in Versace overalls, but his accessorized fashion week narrator was so last year. After all, though looking resplendid, with nary a hair out of place - and who wouldn't look great at those prices - she was spewing the same tired, thinly vieled lies her party as been trying to make work for the last 2 weeks. You see, if you never have believed in or tried to strengthen the little guy, how could you sound genuine trying to stand up for him now.

Plainly Palin can't manage on her own so now she has to bring Tito and whomever to do it for her. Taxes are going up unless we cut all our seniors from Social Security. The real issue is do we want brains in the White House or a hot head and an ignoramus?

FYI The cartoon show 'Bob the Builder' is also shown on the spanish television station Univision, only its known as "Tito the Arquitecto". So, Palin got it partially right, Tito the Builder is in fact Bob the Builder.

The McFailin' ticket can call on "Tito the Builder", "Joe the Plumber", "Deb the cabinet maker", "Tiffany the model", "Pauline the skier", "Jack the window installer", "Paul the mechanic" or "Susie the homemaker", IT WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING! "OBAMA THE CHANGER" AND "JOE BIDEN THE FIGHTER" GOT THIS!

Let's be real, Palin is a bimbo and Mcain is a buthead for picking her.

Sarah, let me introduce you... Barack The President!

It's foolish people like Tito who the Republicans use to peddle their wicked agenda of helping the rich to get richer and the poor to remain poorer.

Well, that is NOT the American Dream.

Doesa Tito know that the gap betwen the rich and the poor has widened enormously over the past 8 years?Is that what Tito really wants?

Is he peddling the keep the atatus quo where Mrs. Palin tgets 150 of people's political contributions to buy her clothes.Some clothes she would have boutght!

And is he peddling the stauts quo for McCain's vicoous-tongued trophy wife to show off at the Republican Convention and elsewhere seeking poor people's votes weariong 300 k outfits?

Poor Tito!

Why has CNN not covered the 2004 story of Obama's comments that he felt that the federal judges should step in and MANDATE that money should be taken from the rich and redistributed to the poor?

That sure sounds like Marxist / Socialist comments to me!!!!

It is very interesting that the largest newspaper in Alaska has said that she is not ready to be Vice President. Coming from her own state, that speaks volumes. Guess she won't be reading that paper from now on.

OK – a comment about this article. The real question is – do Americans agree more with Joe the Plumber or Joe the Dumber (Biden).

Also, if you, your parents or your grandparents are planning to withdraw from their 401K or IRA – guess what? That is considered income and is taxed as income at the rate in effect when it is withdrawn. If the total is more than $250K, Obama's plan will result in a HIGHER TAX!! That means less for them to live on!! Thanks Obama.

Why the republicans in power did not care about Joe the whatever for 8 years?

Im not a Tido the builder guy, i Like Harry the Carpenter from my tonka toys playset the best.

They have nothing new to say, so they will exploit whoever they can to get attention. I feel sorry for these people who are being used. You don't see the Obama / Biden campaign parading people around like on a stage at a religious healing. Maybe she should start putting hands on and praying. She told us she has a direct line to "GOD".

Is it me, or is she talking to us like we are 3 YEARS OLD?!
. . . I have a three year-old. . .

and bringing in SIMPLIFIED COSTUMED CHARACTERS
is what we do to explain things to him.
maybe thats the only way she understands the issues. . .

Tito probably doesn't have a license either.

Because CNN is too busy reporting the constant gaffes and girly infighting of the McCain camp. What Palin needs to is stop sabotaging the McCain ticket and stay on script instead of trying to be the star of the ticket. She seems to be looking out for Palin and forgetting that she's at the bottom of the ticket. If this is how they're gonna govern it's time to send her back to Alaska and pray she doesn't end up as V.P.

Sarah The Moose Hunter, John The Maverick and all their funny characters are just a joke!

Is there any way "Sarah the Cliche" can shut her "Mouth the Annoying" and "Go the Away"?

Wow I feel like this is a stupid episode of Sesame Street, Joe the Plumber, Tito the builder, Sally the cook etc. And nice way to try to play the hispanic race. Too bad for Tito that Palin and McCain wants to kick his whole race out of the country and build a fenceso they can't get back in. Next Wed can't come fast enough so Palin can go back to the Iceberg and McCain can get back to being a real maverick.

This morning again I see both McCain and Palin fixated in making speeches attributing stuff to Obama and then criticizing it. When they'll introduce their advantages? Do they have any to introduce? Is their logic now is that we should elect them just to avoid a single party? I don't buy it.

Watching Palin's rally it looked like a badly choreographed reality show. Even people at the rally show lack of enthusiasm or interest. Strange!

Joe the American.

that's right, and they are stealing the other half as we speak!

if you're not otraged,

you deserve to be the permanent slave to those criminal elites!

Would someone PLEASE enroll this woman in a basic English grammar course!!! She constantly uses the word "cause" when she means "because." Not only does it make her sound uneducated; it's driving English teachers around the country crazy!!!

TO: Listen to Our Children

Apparently you aren't listening to yours. The majority of the youth in this country is overwhelmingly wanting an Obama Presidency.

Maybe if you would listen you could actually hear them.

Well I guess Tito the builder has a lot of time on his hands these days to pall around with Palin.

That's all we are the Republicans! Not real people with NAMES, just "First name, the, profession". Not complete individuals.

The people of this country are nothing more than "drones" for the GOP to put to work to make them powerful and rich.

Well Greg the American will be voting for Obama on Nov 4th so we can ALL be better off!

Is Tito related to Bob theBuilder?????? llololol...these subjects are getting old...you know she is trying to defend her wearing those clothes...come on Palin...if you knew what they were why did you wear them??????? little late Palin....lets try and dig out of the hole. Yep shes for immigration...heck she isnt even for the eskimos in Alaska. What a phoney.

Palin, it is bob the builder...

Oh, Ms Palin, we know what Obama's tax plan is. We also know what McCain's mortgage bail-out plan is. Even the conservative Mr. Cavuto on FOX, almost choked learning about this plan and he knows 'money'. IF that is not who distribution of wealth then I do not know what is.

Do please tell us why you are against 'fruit-fly' research or any genetic research or any 21st Century progress in technology and development. Is that what Republican Party stands for?

Mike October 27th, 2008 12:28 pm ET

It is not correct English to begin a sentence with the words "How Come"

ISN'T IT AMAZING HOW PEOPLE ARE SOOOOO ANTI-GOVERNMENT UNTIL THEY THEMSELVES NEED THE MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT IN ORDER TO KEEP THEIR BEEMERS?

I am an independant and people are soooo hypocritical.....

McCain/Palin supporters who have never lived/worked overseas can’t begin to realize that the United States needs to repair its image abroad. It is people like this who aren’t educated enough to think globally beyond the Walmart of their single stop light home town in their isolated red state. Pretty much the rest of the world hates these people and laughs at them…and they don’t even realize it.

Hey "Listen to Our Children": guess again. The vast majority of the nation's youth are actually pro-Obama.

This campaign has gotten really said....they are desperate for any kind of spark...this campaign was doomed the day John McCain picked this lady as his runningmate ...Joe the plumber, Tito the builder....what's next Oscar the grouch

First Joe the Plummer, now Tito the builder....What's next Booboo the clown??? Give it up! This crap is not working!!! The average working Plummer and builder are making less than $250K a year and would BENEFIT from Obama's tax plan! Get a clue people; don't let your party affiliations lead you into financial ruin.

Please... send this woman back to Alaska. I can't take it!

Can anyone believe Painlin hs only been VP candidate for 6 weeks. Already feels like 6 years. America simply can't take 4 more years of this BS. Times are too serious. Vote for someone with substance – vote Obama!

i seriously cannot stop laughing.

really?
tito?

what's next? kim the nail technician to attract asian americans.

obama'08

Palin is a JOKE- a very bad one! She is a "diva" for sure and the mccain campaign even says so. Eight more days! Then she can go back to Alaska and STAY THERE!

CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY THEY STILL CLAIM OBAMA WANTS HIGHER TAXES WHEN HE CLEARLY WANTS LOWER TAXES FOR MOST AMERICANS AND MCCAIN WANTS TO PUT AN EXTRA 200,000 IN THE POCKETS OF THE RICHEST 1%???

No more American Dream,
8 years ago, your candidate was 180° from his ideas today. So, he can change his mind, but Obama can't?
More lies from the desparate right.

This tactics too Late for Mc Cain

Too early for Pailn 2012

1 more week and i don't have to hear about joe six pack, joe the plummer or tito the builder ever again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wohooooooooooooooooo

Wow.

Really?

Much like the economy, I wonder if there is a bottom to how low the McCain camp will go.

Como Se Dice 'Political Gimmick' En espanol? If the best hero McBush can come up with is Samuel (joe) the unlicensed plumber. They are indeed desperate. The fake Joe who does not pay his taxes and who lied about buying the Company he works for by saying the Company makes two hundred thousand dollars a year. He confessed later to knowing the company makes nowhere near that much money.
Joe is as fake as the whole McBush campaign. Y Tu Tambien Tito.

I've never seen so many wealthy, everyday citizens making over $250,000 a year crying about their taxes being raised. I must change professions because I had no IDEA construction workers made that much!

TO No More American Dream:

It is because of people like you that our country is going down the drain!! I cannot conceive that you think Mr. McSenile and Mrs. Sesame Street are valid candidates for our country!!!

Another joke just like "Palin The Hockey Mom."

Oops, forgot to pander to those Hispanics, right John/Sarah? Will McCain start off with "mi amigos", now?

I voted for 'THAT ONE' on Saturday.

Florida for Obama!

I love how one of Tito's comments was about less freedom when the Republicans wont allow gay people to get married and want to stop abortion

Sarah The Jilted Beauty Queen needs to go back to Alaska. Her 15 minutes are about up!

While I believe that politicians should be more attuned to their constituents' needs, it cracks me up that the McCain campaign holds these people up as "experts". I heard an interview with Palin wherein she was asked if she thought Obama was a socialist...her response was that SHE didn't think so but (paraphrasing) that's what Joe the Plumber thought. Meaning no disrespect to tradespeople but...I don't know too many of them who think along those lines OR who know enough about the nuances between socialism, democratic socialism, capitalism or communism to make these pronouncements.

Of course, neither does Sarah Palin.

Why has CNN, ABC NPR and MSNBC not brought up Obama's 2001 NPR interview, in which he affirms his belief in redistributing the wealth? This is the bigger story. It is hitting the airwaves and is all over YouTube.

Oh. My. God.

Get this woman off the stage.

This ticket has always had low expectations but they have managed to successfully underperform anyway.

She is just plain scary.

It's over Palin. You can go home now.

Only 8 more days of this crap! Can't wait to send her back to where she belongs to get impeached!

The McCain/Palin ticket is a danger!What does she know about the Jackson Five? Maybe she was referring to the "Keating Five"

I think the McCain Palin campaign should write a children's book with all their characters! "How Joe and Tito lost the race"

My god. Is she running for vice-president or to be the lead singer for the Village People?

Almost have enough for YMCA Y-M-C-A

please, this woman is an idiot and an example of how far the Republican party has gone in it's attempt to divide this country.
get her and her ilk out and by a large enough margin that they will never come back.

I am very sick of her repeated lies, of Obama's tax plans and "adjusting his plan daily" and "flip-flopping". She is just throwing dirty waters around to hopefully it will stick somewhere. Where did she get her journalism degree from? Because she just makes claims without any facts to back them up.

Why does it seem that all of the people that McCain and Palin trot out are men. Don't they acknowledge that women also own businesses?

Hahaha...You guys really need -

Mike the ECONOMIST
Mary the HEALTHCARE specialist
Marvin the DIPLOMAT
Susan the CONSTITUTION Scholar
Dave the ACCOUNTANT
Paula the LAWYER

I think the construction guy and the plumber will not be much help unless the WH needs repairs.

Why doesn't this FOOL trot out a real VP candidate? Who's next: Millie the Maid?

GOP is nothing but tax breaks for the rich and for BIG OIL. Note that Congressional GOP blocked any "windfall taxes" for BIG OIL.

Palin is a liar and an insult to America.

GO HOME and take Tito with you!

Not another name to be used over and over and over again!! I really can't believe she could be annoyed with Katie's interview..the questions weren't that hard. But I do believe that after two months of hearing terrorist, Muslim, Socialist, oh and let's not forget Joe... that the people of the world are annoyed! Sarah has done more to inspire hatred and aggression in two months than most can do in a lifetime. She has divided the country and made the USA a laughing stock of the world.

That being said- mud slinging did not work for her, so now we need the "real" Sarah to come in... special needs Mom, Mom of a soldiier, Piper asking people to vote for Mom- not much about Bristol though. We the people are annoyed Sarah...please take a long walk on the Bridge to Nowhere and when you get to the end ask Joe the Maverick to hold a mirror so you can apply your lipstick and wave to your Russian fans....wink wink. Yes Sarah you will have to apply your own makeup and live with the person you see... now i understand why you must be annoyed...

This is so pathetic no one cares about Tito or Joe.

Hey CNN, where's the story about Obama wanting to 'spread the wealth'? Waiting for the Obama campaign's talking points before you publish an article. Pretty sad. Stop the bias.

PUMA

And I have a fundamental disagree with you Gov. Palin. You are not qualified to lead this country even sitting behind Sen. McCain.

But I also would like to thank you for helping to make my presidential choice even that much easier.

Obama / Biden 08" (and 2012 is yet to be deteremined)

why not bob the builder and scoop and the rest of the gang

Diva has spoken

Oh boy. This is really getting ridiculous. The McCain camp has boiled down the collective psyche of America's people to three-word, cartoonish titles. Is Tito the Builder Bob the Builder's cousin? lol.

He does not flip flop on his tax policies. You can find them on his website and they have remained the same throughout the general election. So, I guess straight up lying is all that McCain/Palin have left.

Our country no longer stands for ANYTHING!!
We need to resuscitate whatever is left by voting for Obama.
All you will do is formally turn our nation into a nation of tyranny, which is what Bush has been doing for the last 8 years!!

Please Palin, we don' t need more airheads in the white house

GO AWAY PALIN!!!!! It actually hurts my ears to hear your screetch!!!

OBAMA!!

CNN are you kidding me?

mcbush are you kidding me?

why is she here in teh news

the brainless person talking in the "best political team," (or should i say brainless political team??)

give me a break nothing she says, (and her words are not english, there is not once coherent sentence) makes one bit of sense.

There is one argument that I am surprised the Democrats are not using – if McCain wins, he will continue to push the polarization that Bush began in 2000, whereas Obama is calling for unity. McCain's biggest argument is "vote for me because I'm a Republican", while Obama is calling for people to vote for him because he claims he can bring change and stability to Washington. I'm waiting for a civil war to erupt, regardless of who wins.

"A house divided among itself cannot stand" -Abraham Lincoln (R)

I bet Tito would actually do better under bama's tax proposal; but hey, why would Palin worry about facts, math, the truth and diversionary things like that? Next thing you know they'll be bringing out my kid's toy, "Bob the Builder." Seriously, McCain/Palin need to wake up. They've only got 8 days to close the gap, and Tito ain't gonna help.

Failin...please say bye-bye to the lower 48...I cannot believe that anyone in their right mind would consider you a serious VP candidate.

This whole thing is getting so ridiculous. I've already voted and look forward to November 5th when Obama can get on with the business of straightening out this mess we call a country.

Go Obama-Biden

Alaska's largest-circulation paper, the Anchorage Daily News, said state governor Mrs Palin was "too risky" to be one step away from the presidency. In an editorial it says her nomination "captivated" Alaskans but that must not "overwhelm all other judgment".
The focus should be on John McCain, it said, calling him the "wrong choice".

"She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone," this McCain adviser said. "She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else. A second McCain source says she appears to be looking out for herself more than the McCain campaign.

Palin is wrong for not having the values of everyday Americans and isn't surely putting America first! Palin is Bad for the McCain campaign and definitely BAD for America!

Republican's for OBAMA, time is at hand to save our land of the Free and home of the Brave!

OBAMA-BIDEN, now that's the Ticket!

"Tito" the builder! Who is she speaking too? Preschoolers????

Experience and the Future in McCain and Palin vs. IN EXPERIENCE and the Past in Obama and Biden

26 yrs of consistency in a solid voting record vs. 191 Time Voting 'Present' + 143 days of Experience

Straight Talk vs. All TALK on what you want to hear.

Listen to Our Children, listen to McCain's wonderful daughter's book about being so proud of her father and those other wonderful children of Sarah Palin's who are proud of their mother.

Listen to America's Children and protect our country – VOTE McCain!

How many more of these names are we going to have to put up with? This so and so the whatever is so yesterday it is not even funny. why does everything have to have a label?

Shall we come up with a few? How about John the Absent-Minded or Sarah the Air-Headed?

More Gimmicks . . . But No Solutions From The Mccain Campaign!

too bad Tito doesn't actually understand that Democrats were instrumental in seeing that Americans of all ethnic backgrounds can make a life in America. Republicans are instrumental in trying to build walls to keep out diversity. Shame on Tito the Traitor.

One quick comment from Mike the Systems Analyst – FUSP

Joe the Plumber,
Tito the builder,
Oscar the designer,
Ashely Todd the liar....

Bring the menagerie out...

It was joe the Plumber now it is Tito the Builder.
Did Titio build her palace in Alaska at a good rate?
Issues count don't mix them up with these stupid jibes.
Now we are told that the GOP bought the clothes for the Barbie doll so that they can dress her up the way they want.
May be they should have bought a brian box as well so that the barbie doll can think correctly as well.

Go Sarah!!!

You already got my vote and my vote for 2012!!!

Sarah Palin 2008!!

Tito the builder can't afford 150 000 USD for his wardrobe.So he has nothing in common with this Lady running out of ideas.

Go Sahah. Barack can't hide from his socialist policies of redistribution of wealth. I'm not working my bottom off any more than I am right now in order to pay BHO's higher taxes. Get real people. See him for what he is – his grand plan will give it all away to those that don't think it becomes them to get off their duffs.

Here we go...An all out onslaught of attacks by the GOP and Conservative talk show hosts including Mr. "No Spin" or should I say spin in my own way, Comedian Bill O'Reilly....Like Adrian said to Rocky before fighting Ivan Drago..."YOU CAN"T WIN"

Vote Early

A 7-year-old radio interview in which Barack Obama discussed the failure of the Supreme Court to rule on redistributing wealth in its civil rights rulings has given fresh ammunition to critics who say the Democratic presidential candidate has a socialist agenda.

Obama has said he wants to redistribute the wealth. Their goes the American dream.. Obama is a Socialist. If you want to be like Finland vote for Obama, if you beleive in the American dream vote for McCain..

Keep The American Dream Alive
Go McCain

lol.. I guess Bob the builder is replaced now.
This is really silly tactics by the McCain campaign. They are playing to the base and only the idiots in the far right would buy this nonsense.
The sad part is, McCain needs to play to the middle and he's not doing that. Instead, he just looks foolish to the most of the people in the middle.

I wonder if these people realize that not only that are they being used by MCnasty and his blow up doll Plain but that they look like absolute arses because of it.

You are going down!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha is that like "Bob the Builder?" Makes sense... that's about the appropriate intellectual level for Palin.

Cnn.....I think your news staff is sleeping today....let me help you out...

How come you are not reporting on the 2001 interview with Obama spreading the wealth around????

How come you are not reporting how Obama said the Civil Rights ruling didn't go far enough because it didn't give minorities money???

Did you miss this CNN.....???

I'm confused.
