To all of you blaming the media for Mccain looking negative, did you ever think it may be because MCCAIN IS A FOOL!?!? Noone needs to say Palin is ignorant and unqualified, she displays it well without any help...

People, here's the ACORN scoop. They try to register people to vote. Their employees make bonuses for every person they register and inform the HQ about. So, some employees made up some fake names and then told the HQ that those ppl were registered and received a bonus, before these employees got caught. So, those people who were falsely registered don't exist and wouldn't have effected the vote anyways. ACORN, like every employer, had some bad apples. This isn't, as McCain would like us to believe is "one of the greatest frauds in voter history". And as to the full extent of Obama's relationship, he just represented the company in a case some years ago. That's it. I'm glad they're fighting back now. They stand for something good, and that African American man's story is the truth!

I see why their doing this... trying to win the PR battle. But they would be better off probably if they kept stuffing the ballot box for Obama. Obama needs those votes and they should keep cheating for him and lay low on the PR stuff, that's a can of worms they should leave alone.

Tom Brokaw: Sen. McCain, what is your economic policy?

McCain: My friends; Obama; ACORN; socialist; Ronald Reagan; Marxist; wealth spreader; palling around with washed up terrorists; Herbert Hoover; Rev. Wright; maverick; Rezko; flip-flopper; took on oil companies; ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Tom Brokaw: Senator, Senator?

McCain: Huh? What? Did we win? Huh? Huh?

McCain and Palin supporters have nothing but hate now. We can thank McCain and Palin for that one. Can any of you McCain supporters tell me the difference between McCain's economic plans that are different than Bush??? Anyone??? I didn't think so. All you have is negative. You have all the wrong reasons not to vote for Obama, but no right reason to vote for McCain. Obama inspires to unite our country, McCain inspires to divide.

Lou Dobbs(a Rightwinger in hiding) and the GOP really like to talk about ACORN. Yep, it is a bad thing. ACORN does not look good but neither does voter purging in most of these battleground states that are leaning Blue now. Hmmmmmmmm...this voter suppression thing sure does sound familiar.

I think some folks need to be more informed about Acorn and it's history – including being behind the push for the criteria for obtaining mortgage loans being reduced to a point that credit and payment history didn't mean much and now we have a foreclosure crisis. It's coalitions like Acorn that were behind these "boutique" types of loans being created and now they are a national problem. Oh – and did I mention that Obama was employed by Acorn as a lawyer before he ran for Senate?? That's right – Obama can point all the fingers he wants to at the Bush administration but he was behind the push for these bad loans to be made.

I wonder who is putting out those official-looking flyers in Norfolk, VA, announcing that in Virginia Republicans vote on Tuesday, Nov. 4, and Democrats on Wednesday, Nov. 5? And who might be telling students that they will lose insurance and pay higher tuition if they vote in their college towns? And who might have spread the rumor among other college students that the police will be at polls checking license plates against outstanding parking tickets and towing cars? These are just some of voter suppression efforts underway in this election. Who puts "Country First?"

McCain and Palin have no backbones and are acting desperately. If they want to point fingers to "terrorists", why don't they do so face to face with those people and inform the FBI of their presence in this country? If they are living here legally, what does it matter if they are friends with Obama or anyone else? Obama is different from McCain and Palin in that he doesn't have to be deaf to other people's ideas. McCain and Palin want to play McArthur? How stupid are they to keep playing this card against their opponent? Talk about your own policies for economy, national security if you will, McCain and Palin. Don't be liars and cowards. No one listen to you anymore. How can you govern this great country of ours?

Come on CNN. I know for a fact that a man named Leroy has given my address so he can vote. I called and found out where he will be voting and I will be there to make sure even if I have to stay all day. How do I know he used my address? Well I keep getting these democratic mailings with his name on it. I know who he is but he has never lived here. I have lived here for 30 years. You go ahead and vote and I'm gonna smack you and ACORN for voter fraud. I know it's not voter fraud until you vote. I hope more will be at voting areas to watch these fools. Leroy I'm gonna get you if you use my address.

I really feel bad for those people who are backing McCain because he says Obama's going to raise taxes...

WAKE UP! Nothing is going to get done in our current economic status without money, it's going to come from somewhere... So unless Palin sell's Alaska to Russia whoever ends up winning will HAVE to raise taxes. (Unless you don't want anything to get any better...)

Awesome ad Acorn!
Go home Palin and McCain. America doesn't want you in the WH.
I hope Alaska gives the Palin woman a good hard look and boots her out of the Governor's office. I hope Arizona reconsiders who McCain really is and gives him his walking papers.
They have run a disgusting campaign and intimidating voters is vile.

Oh Dan, How can you overlook ethics violations, AIP affiliations THIS year, witch hunting pastors, infidelity to an injured spouse and your children, McCain and ACORN, McCain and Khafidi, McCain and vehicular homicide, Palin's "socialist Alaska" comments, Palin the millionaire pretending she's "one of you," need I go on? Seems to me every time McCain brings up an old, discounted Obama story, we find current things worse about him and the Barbie doll. Thus their amazing falling poll numbers, even, today, in Arizona.

CNN have you noticed that the comments are mostly pro Obama? You are now preaching to the choir. The congregation left about a month ago to join the church of Fox News. If you don’t believe me, check out how their comments have increased over the last month. Many congregants never believed that they would ever join, including me. We were tired of your misogyny against Hillary and now Sarah and we figured out that you are nothing but a propaganda machine for Obama. I skim the Ticker every once in a while to see if you have repented, but no such blessing. Most stories continue to be pro Obama/Biden or anti McCain/Palin. I believe this is also coincides with your rating slump.

All I ask is that you get back to reporting the news, all of it and fire some of your anchors and producers. At this point I only watch Lou Dobbs and I immediately change the channel when all bull, all bias Campbell Brown comes on, maybe you can start by firing her. Then you may get some of your viewers back.

What do you think will happen when the kool aid wears off of the Obamabots and they realize they were duped into voting for another fraud by the MSM? Better yet, where is your integrity as journalist? Where is your conscience? Have you no shame? You know in your heart that Obama should not be the President of the United States because of what you know, not what the public knows. You are keeping secrets that many of us who chose to do our homework know that you know, but you refuse to report it. My heart goes out to the millions of people that will be devastated and destroyed because you chose again not to do your job. Sort of like what you did when you propagandized the Iraq war. How many hundreds of thousands are now dead and devastated because you CHOSE not to do your job concerning the Iraq war? God has placed you in this position to do what is right and for such a time as this, if you do not; you will also fall as the New York Times is now falling. You have been charged with an important job, informing the public and asking the tough questions, and you have failed the American people miserably.

You may think that you are helping your children and future generations, but you are destroying them. Keep thinking it’s a game!!!

Why did the Clintons say the Obama was going to play the race card all along? Why is it that Obama has hired lawyers to block is birth certificate? Too mnay ???? with Obama. Sure keep taking making my taxes go higher, and you know Obama will, and help support more welfare recipeints. America, be careful what you vote for.

John McCain has fallen so far. Though I've always disagreed with his conservative position on most issues, I've always respected him because he seemed to be a man of honor, someone who deserved, and received, my respect. I honestly have now lost all of my respect for him and that is sad. It seems that going down in flames is all he knows how to do. Stop the win-at-all-costs politics John, and regain some dignity.

Well Mr. USA where were you in 2000 and 2004 when the elections was being stolen. Now that people are not going to stand for that type of operation then you have a problem with it. Its already been stated that the only way that it could be fraud is if someone showed up to vote and had fraudulent identifacation. But thats not going to stop you republicans from pressing a dead issue. The only one that got defrauded was ACORN because they paid for a service and did not receive it.

“I am not sure how any allegation relating to what might have happened 48 years ago has any relevance to the McCain campaign.”
– former GOP senator John Danforth

So, that the Republican Party has a long history of voter suppression and intimidation tactics which they are continuing today has nothing at all to do with McCain, but what Bill Ayers was doing back when Obama was a toddler has a lot to do with Barack?

It's this type of stupidity that is costing McCain the election.
