CNN

My little piece of pie has taken a big hit due to this economic downturn and I don't have any intention of voting for anyone who had anything to do with the policies that got us into this mess. Period.

Stooly:

Your rant proves that you don't even know what real socialism is. Nice Spawn Insanity talking points though. Watch FAUX NEWS much? Next up communism, facism (That would be your beloved George W just for the record), naziism, dicatorship and every other bad image you can try to conjure up.

Beyond the hype:

I say to you, ignorance is your greatest ailment. Why, only and ignorant fool would take quotes from an entire book and just a man by it. READ, READ, READ. Be curious, don't beleive everything that those neocons hand you (like these quotes). Go and actually read the books open mindedly. Please, post such things on tabloid cites and not CNN.

Stooly: I have new that may shock you but the current American tax system is redistributive. I guess all the current politicians, Republicans too, are not considered socialists.

What would you rather earn:

$50K/year taxed at 20%

or

$250K/year taxed at 35%

There is still plenty of incentive to want to earn more. Besides, your satisfaction in life shouldn't solely be tied to earning money. You should want to contribute to the good of society as well. I would not be proud raping the land of minerals and flooding the same land with chemical if that is how I made my money. There needs to be more thought before people like you say what you do.

McCain sounds like a little baby when he keeps bring up that Obama broke his promise about campaign financing.......Obama saw the kind of campaign he wanted to run and how much it would take to do it and he opted to take Public Financing........that's called smart thinking........he knew from the past that the Republicans have always had the more money and Democrats couldn't compete with their advertising...........this is the kind of Smart Thinker I want for President of the United States......

IS JOE THE PLUMBER,

WHO IS NOT A PLUMBER,

MCSAME'S NEW VP ??

PEOPLE:
When you vote, take your cell phone with you, to take a picture of screen with who you voted for!!!! Then, you have "proof" if machine magically changes your vote..Lets stop fraud, suppression of votes, dont let this election be STOLEN...
Thanks..
Texas senior for OBAMA
( white one too )

So glad that Senator McCain picked a VP candidate to whom he can turn for answers in these tough economic times.

Obama/Biden

TO: Beyond The Hype

......and what's your point of your entry?........

Vote.

And beyond the hype...while applaud that you at least are able to use the cut and paste function on your computer, you might want to actually check your source. You'll likely find its the RNC.

No more hate filled politics. Send the message to the GOP that they will have to move back to the center and abandon their "Sarah Palins" and embrace something new. Something smarter and with the will of the people at its heart.

Obama '08 by a Landslide

If Obama wins, then the obituary will read:

The United States of America 1776 – 2008. Death due to self-inflicted mortal injury. May she rest in peace.

Well, at least Exxon made a 14.83 billion dollar record profit this year, so Bush & Cheney and all of their friends will have a nice retirement. Too bad for McCain & Palin, they were hoping to get on that gravy train ride next. To all of my republican friends, I know you love our country, please wake up, McCain/Palin will lie, cheat, steal do whatever they have to do to get at that money, they don't care who they have to destroy to get it, democrats are the only ones working for us.

John McCain doesn't have a clue. He's lived a privileged life for 72 years.

Obama knows what the average person is going through. He's been there many times in his life.

I voted early for the pair that will protect our Constitution.

Obama/Biden '08

Yes, McCain will respond. Joe the plummer! Non-licensed, tax owing, not quite telling the truth about his business individual, as a poster child for whatever, goes beyond belief. Hey, I wonder if anyone has reminded McCain or informed Palin about the money that John helped give to the so called Palistian terrioist. Thats right, I forgot that McCains memory is not what it used to be. How many more LIES and false accusations can those two come up with? Quite a few I am sure.

To "Beyond the Hype"
I notice you cut and paste this exact entry in every ticker. Get a life "Plant".

McCain is at a rally in defiance Ohio,
That should read denial and despair over the economy He and Bush created.

McCain the De-regulator gave the Bankers an inch and they took 34 trillion dollars and put us in this mess and the Republican voters want to give him more rope to hang the economy.

Democrat's 08

I want a Republican to tell me what McCain will be doing differently from Bush. WITHOUT MENTIONING OBAMA'S NAME. Sell McCain's policies without bashing his opponent. Please. I am waiting.....

John McCain is really a man.

OB is a simple and pure liar. I felt disgusting when I heard OB commended President Clinton last night in Florida rally. Did anybody heard OB said the same thing for President Clinton during democratic primary??? NO, NEVER, not even one single word......

Taking government tax dollars to finance a campaign is socialism.

beyond the hype, you show that hate, ignorance, racism and anti-intellectualism knows no bounds. your hate leads you to write malicious falsehoods. just to scare people? i mean what's wrong with you? put on your white robes and cape so no one will know who you are. absolutely pathetic.

I'm voting for McCain.

Here is why. I didn't get an adjustable arm mortgage. I have an education. I saved money for a rainy day. I own a company. I employ 12 individuals who are the world to me (and yes they do have health insurance). Anything the government touches turns to garbage. The government shouldn't touch my, or my employees money.

Obama is for simple minded fools.
McCain is a steady hand.

Tough economic news?? But it's only been two years of the Harry and Nancy show... You ain't seen anything yet.

People keep saying spreading the wealth, well you need to take a look out how social security is done. They take money out of our income and give it to people 65 and over. If that is not spreading the wealth then I dont know what is. Look at the facts before you start to make a judgement over someone and thats why I am voting for Obama.

Joe the plumber and John McCain complain of socialism, Meanwhile McCain is using taxpayer dollars to finance his campaign. I guess its only socialism if the little guy gets a piece of pie!

I read the books "Beyond the Hype," and out of respect for CNN I'll simply say to you, you are a typical extreme right-wing manipulator of words and phrases. Instead of reffering to exactly what Obama was saying, or unabiasedly describe what he was explaining in regards to the "political winds" or the political stability of the region, you chicken pick a words or phrase and make it fit your "malicious" dark purposes. Typical "Carl Rove" republican metyhod of misrepresenting the "facts."

McCain is jinx. He jinxed the Rays, by calling them the Devil-Rays, he jinxed the Republican party, he jinxed the country.

As usual Obama wil remain cool and thoughtful.......and McCain will be walking in small ciircles mumbling to himself.......have no fear...vote for Obama& Biden and vote early !!!!!!

And the Oil companies smile while America burns.

Maybe Joe the Plumber can help formulate a economic solution for McCain... oah wait is solution to taxes is not to pay them. Who people ally themselves with speaks volumns. Perhaps Joe the Plumber is an attempt at making Palin seem smarter, the old put the short guy next to shorter guy trick. Might work?

Tough economic news?? But it's only been two years of the Harry and Nancy show... You ain't seen anything yet.

Both Sen McCain and Sen Obama fell asleep at the wheel on the nation's economy. But Sen McCain was there when it started. America elected Bush 2000 it has been down hill every since. the nation debt gone from let say 3.9 Billion to 2.5 Trillion in less than 8 years on John McCain and Bush watch. TIME FOR CHANGE. Go Obama/Biden

YOU NAIVE MORONS THAT SUPPORT OBAMA BETTER COME TO REALITY AND GET OUT OF FANTASY LAND. YOUR A BUNCH OF PUPPETS FULL OF HATE . OBAMA,S BIG CHANGE IS TURNING HISTORY BACK 100 YRS. OR MORE. RACIST ,HATE AND DIVISION. SO YOU NAIVE MORONS BETTER START THINJKING ABOUT WHO HAS BEEN THERE THATS FAUGHT ALREADY AND IF ELECTED WILL HAVE SAY OVER BUSH ,AND THAT IS MCCAIN.OBAMA HAS DONE NOTHING FOR THIS COUNTRY AND VOTED AGAINST EVERYTHING THAT REALLY MATTERED. HE VOTED AGAINST THE MILITARY HAVING MORE DEFENSE WHILE IN WAR. THAT IS VERY UN AMERICAN. MCCAIN IS RIGHT. HE WANTS OUR MEN TO LOOSE THE WAR. MCCAIN WAS RIGHT ON THE SURGE AND ALL THE GENERALS KNOW IT. YOU MORONS BELIEVE A CHICAGO CON MAN OVER THE MILITARY. THATS WHAT KIND OF IDIOTS YOU ARE.ROCK BANDS AND MONEY ISN'T ENOUGH TO RUN OUR COUNTRY. OBAMA IS JUST BS.

Obviously, Obama doesn't even understand the stock market. He showed that when he claimed the recent declines inthe market were the final verdict for the last eight years. Guess what Barack, the market is a leading indicator, not a lagging indicator. It doesn't move based on what has happened but instead, it moves based on what investors foresee for the future.

The Dow is down over 2,000 points since it became clear in late-September (according to most polls) that Obama was going to win this election. Not a vote of confidence for an Obama presidency.

Stooly – you're an idiot – political party \affiliation does not denote American or not American. You sound as uneducated as Palin acts.

To all McCain & Palin Supporters,

And for those who think Senator Obama will raise taxes on middle income families. First ask yourselves, did you really look at both candidates tax relief proposals and compare them based on different income brackets?
If you have not, please do, and at the end if you could still say McCain's tax relief plan is better for the average American household (who makes between $38K and $66K), go and vote for Senator McCain.
Also ask yourself, how does a government generate revenue? In order to serve its citizens better, how can a government possibly finance / pay for all its public projects and services for its citizens to improve their quality of life?
I am a permanent resident in this country and I make over $200K a year. Like every responsible person, I pay my taxes to the government so the government can invest my tax dollars for my kids and for the future generations of this country in the form of better education, healthcare, research and development, conservation and public services.
Senator McCain claims that Senator Obama wants to spread the wealth around by taking money from average Americans and give it to the poor. Do you really think his argument has valid points? Well here it goes… according to Senator Obama's tax plan; middle income families (Average Americans) get the biggest tax relief, if so how is it possible for Senator Obama to take "Joe the plumber's money" –if Joe the plumber is an average American as senator McCain claims and makes between $38K to $66K- and spread around? Senator McCain's claim is totally false and misleading.
What senator Obama wants to achieve is that by raising the taxes only on individuals who make more than $250K and on Corporations that make billions of dollars, the government can invest into the programs such as education, health care, research and development, new sources of energy, and projects such as infrastructure improvements, housing and urban developments. These investments would not only create millions of jobs but also strengthen the economy, improve the quality of life of American people, save the future of next generations, give a fighting chance to even the littlest guy to be somebody by attending to the best schools in the world or working hard and realize the American dream. This is the way how this country came out of great depression and this is how the great society was formed, and unfortunately we are far from it today.

Its unbelievable. McCain has this "Joe the plumber" guy actually campaigning for him. This guy knows not the first thing about foreign policy or economics yet is sharing the stage with a man purporting to solve these problems for us. First Palin "the diva" and now Joe.
We have gotten used to Pres. Bush's extremely low standards in choosing people as advisors. Just how much lower can McCain get??!

Spread the wealth!!

It's amazing to me how much the liberals "HATE", they claim that McCain is running a mud slinging campaign and all I see if the Dems hating everything that America represents such as the hard working man (Joe the Plumber, Tito the Builder, etc.) and their treatment of Sarah Palin is shameful!

The trust is that Americans want to believe anything from Obama, he's not the 2nd coming of christ folks, so don't expect that your life is going to change from bad to outstanding overnight. Wake up!!

Get informed and read between the lines.

Thats because everytime Obama surges in the polls, our market tanks. Small businesses everyehere are preparing to shut down if Obama is elected. The Liberals teach socialism but the conservatives provide the jobs.

Spread the wealth!!

Wow- I have never seen people clamoring for socialism like I see on here. You guys should study how well it worked in Cuba, Nazi Germany, and presently in Venezuela.

I'm not being extreme; that's where this is headed. Compare Obama's policies and what you are calling for with the policies of those regimes.

Remember, the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. That goes for Socialism as well as anything else.

Beyond the Hype:

I did read both of Obama's books (I wanted to be informed). Was a Hillary girl (still am)

He did express those viewpoints and a heck of a lot more. Those who have tasted the Kool-aid won't believe it nor will the MSM follow up on anything that may talk against "The One". You would think we were electing a King not a President.

Our founding fathers would roll over in their graves if they saw just how bias will buy a Presidency.

Hey, CNN, why no comment thread on that lame-o lovefest between McCain and Larry King? THAT gets a headline on your front page? A few softball questions that give McCain the chance to lie unchallenged on national TV? Is Larry doing a news show or a celebrity love-in? Meanwhile, you have virtually nothing on Obama's unprecedented program last night, which is getting plenty of play on all the other media outlets because of its positive, constructive focus on the actual issues. Remember those?

NOBAMA!

The American people don't want things worst than they are!
McCain is the answer. His record shows it.

Hmm, seem McCain should be happy his buddies at Exxon Mobil made so much money. Maybe he could decide NOT to give them the billion or so in tax breaks he wants to.

Fact – McCain plans to give each CEO of Fortune 500 companies $700,000 in tax credits. That is EACH. Nevermind that these guys make over a million dollars a year and that they don't NEED a tax break on their individual income taxes.

Fact – Sen. Obama has NEVER set the bar at $300,000 as I saw some incompentent commentor note in another post.

Fact – McCain is buddies with G. Gordon Liddy, look him up. Sarah Palin is pals with Ted Stevens and the Alaskan Independence Party. Look 'em up.

Fact – the world is watching us to see if we make the right decision. If we let McCain and Palin's fear tactics win this election all of our enemies will see how easily influenced we are by fear. Trust me, the attacks will get worse.

What is with this JOE thing? HOW TOTALLY DUMB.. a typical Republican move.. HEY BROWNIE, NICE JOB!! but in fact, JOE IS A PHONEY, PALIN is not a Christian, and there IS NO REAL PROOF THAT McCAIN WAS EVER TORTURED. HE was stupid enough to get caught, while he dropped bombes on innocent people.. AND THIS SHOULD GIVE HIM THE RIGHT TO BECOME PRESIDENT!!!! WHAT DONT I GET HERE???

everybody's telling "beyond hype" to check his facts. Very good everyone should check the facts. Everyone should also "do the math". the math in this article says "GROWTH" (2.7% GROWTH), the article however does not. Is this news reproting or political spin.

Trickle down, or VOODOO Economics as George Bush called it, has failed. It is fine to do the experiment, but the data is now in. It has failed. Trickle up certainly is no better. Obviously it is both that make a good economy. And that is what we had with Reagan and Clinton. Reagan proposed trickle down and everyone making over $350,000 a year paid 38.9% as the highest tax rate. Clinton moved it to 39% to balanced the budget, grow the economy and help everyone with controlling spending.

Obama proposes 39%. Maybe that is too high, maybe it should be 38.9% like Reagan had. Perhaps if we sit down and compromise. Start with raising taxes back to 38.9% on the rich from the 33% it is now and certainly not the 28% that John McCain wants for the rich. And let's see how it works out.

The Economist Endorses Obama

The Economist does not have a vote, but if it did, it would cast it for Mr Obama. We do so wholeheartedly: the Democratic candidate has clearly shown that he offers the better chance of restoring America’s self-confidence. But we acknowledge it is a gamble. Given Mr Obama’s inexperience, the lack of clarity about some of his beliefs and the prospect of a stridently Democratic Congress, voting for him is a risk. Yet it is one America should take, given the steep road ahead.

http://www.economist.com/world/unitedstates/displayStory.cfm?story_id=12516666&source=features_box_main

John McCain's answer: Take "Joe the Plumber" on tour with him, and let Sarah talk about Foreign Policy today. If this wasn't so pathetic it would be funny.

This ad was a great use of money. It was on major networks for 30 min and was viewed across the USA. Many people will have seen it. It was worth far more than ads in several states and it gave people a clear message that could never be conveyed in a 30 second ad. This will also be replayed on the news and by pundits so it will hold the headlines longer. A very strategic decision and it maximized the use of $3 million. This could not have been better spent. The message conveyed hope and purpose. It clearly outlined Obama’s policies and beliefs. It showed that America can unite and can achieve greatness.
Even if you disagree with Obama’s message, this presentation shows that America needs to work together—no that’s not socialism it is unity. Right now, America needs to vote.

If McCain has such great plans for the economy and for that matter ending the war, why not talk them up instead of continually discrediting Obama.

***Don't forget to watch Sarah Phalin on Entertainment Tonight with Mary Hart tonight. if she can swep the floor with her the way Gibson and Couric have already done, I think that pretty much says it all.

What is so good about Obama's plan? Making employers provide insurance will cause more of them to leave or make more job cuts. "Spreading the wealth" that is about as unamerican as you can get. This is America people should be allowed to make a fortune that is why many come here. Oh well just forget the fundamentals of our Government and vote for a socialist. I am not rich but I am not jealous of people who have money. If you don't like your current economic status then do something about it. Take risks as most of the rich have, get an education, or just work more hours. The fact is most Democratic Americans are lazy and think the government or employers should be responsible for them! This is the land of the free and it should be kept that way take care of yourself and grow up. McCain is not a savior but he is a better alternative then voting for a radical that does not believe in the true meaning of America which is FREEDOM!

obama 08!!!

Obama simply does not understand it. Socialism, with big well-fare system, big government, more regulations, higher taxes, and less freedom for the people, simply does not work, in many Asian and European countries. Working people will be punished or taxed to "spread the wealth" or pay for the well-fare, and financ his big spending. Obama is the worst extreme leftist socialist, even worse than Jimmy Carter, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and John Edwards. When Barack Obama cancels the tax-cut programs by George Bush, he will automatically raise all the taxes for all of us.

I am so sick of hearing about this! Everyday people are losing their jobs, homes are getting foreclosed!, and we are soon going to be a second rate nation! our troops are not home once again for the Holidays! and we think McCain and Palin will help us!

Stop looking at race! Stop saying negative things! look at the facts and what we need to happen! How cares if the President knows about this about that it never matters b/c they seek out advise from their ADVISORS PEOPLE!!!! Change needs to happen I have said this before on here I have a MA degree and make oh $nothing an hour and I am back in school b/c I can't afford my student loans!

oh by the way why don't you folks who believe McCain's health plan is best go to your HR department and ask them what is the monthly prem. to keep you insured I will tell you this for the year it will amount o more than $5000! So take your $5000 and use it to pay your light bill b/c it sure won't help you with your health care coverage!

PS: McCain may even loose AZ. McCain is ONLY 3 points ahead of Obama in Arizona!!! Even the republican out here know McCain is NOT good for the future–maybe the past–but not the future!!!!!
We are in a global technological 21st century which will take high intellegence and education and McCain has neither and he is just toooo old and self centered!!!! God Bless Obama/Biden

Well, at least this time McCain didn't say that "the fundamentals of our economy are strong;" not yet at least.

I understand the negative feelings many of you have toward the Republican Party, but I don't understand your hero worship Of Sen. Obama. Yes, he doesn't look like the guys on the dollar bills, and he has talked a good game thus far. But, you really act like he's the second coming, and between the German crowds, the Greek columns, and the infomercials, I'm not so sure it hasn't gone to his head.

beyond the hype-do you enjoy making yourself look stupid.? The actual quotes from the books do not resemble what you posted, and it is quite easy to verify that.

Yo, "beyond the hype" how many times have you been told you are a jerk, has it not penetrated your thick skull. Do you live in a hole along with all the other a..holes.
You know I am reading Mr. Obamas book right now, and I do not find any of your doragatoris comments anywhere. Try another one.
MOLE

i am not an america,but i wish i cld vote for obama,i dnt understand why americans wil queve 2 vite for mccain,i used 2 rate their inteligence so high,now i know they are not just as intelligent as i thought,mccain kips making useless decisions,suspending his campaign,chosing a retard for vp,lying even in the church,God and ppl want 2 vote for him 2 be d president of the united states of america,shame shame shame,for amy1 who queves for mccain

McCain today introduced Joe the Plumber at his ralley in Ohio but you know what? Joe the Plumber was nowhere to be found hahahaha.

Just a handfull of people showed up for this ralley and Cindy McCain had to fill in for Joe the Plumber.

What a boring speech by McCain, nothing substantial only attacks on Obama.

Oh well, so much for commander and chief, he lost it.

Obama / Biden 08

Obama's response: "It's not that I want to punish your success, BUT... we gotta spread the wealth around."

Raise taxes on business and capital gains? say buh-bye to jobs.

He should spread around some of the $600 million he brought in on by breaking his word. That would put a lot of underprivileged kids through college and pay for a lot of abortions.

This republican in AZ is voting for Obama/Biden for the future of The United States of America!!! God Bless Them!!!

It does matter whos president concerning the economy. I don't care for either of the runners. However, Obama wants to raise taxes, start the death tax up again and multitudes of other taxes. This will ruin an already money starved public. Think about it. If you want more taxes and less jobs from Obama taxing businesses. Small businesses at that. And they will have to lay off people and increase prices to stay alive. McCain will be the only way to go at the present. Maybe you have lots of money and don;t care. But, I don't and most of my friends don't. WE DO NOT NEED MORE TAXES PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

beyond the hype,

And McCain is the answer? I think his promises are a hell of a lot more ludicrous than Obama's (ie – "I know how to fix the economy ... I'll fix it" and "I know where Osama Bin Laden is ... I know how to get him ... I'll get him.") Does he really know where Bin Laden is? Really? He honestly sounds like a defensive fifth grader when he says that kind of stuff. Not to mention the fact that lately, he never seems to focus on what HE HIMSELF would do as president ... just on how potentially bad Obama would be.

BTW, McCain looked awful on Meet the Press the past weekend. Someone needed to say it.

This is the very reason why one shold not vote for:

THE BIG SPENDER.

Douglas Holtz-Eakin need to shift his economic philosphy to accommodate for the shifting circumstances and not continue on a model that brought on the calamity of our economic nose dive. He fails to understand that while Bush injected the current policies back when he did it cost taxpayers mounting costs that led to trillion dollar deficit for a zero ROI for all taxpayers and not just to the rich who got richer! How else can the government reel in fresh funds to reduce the deficit while improving the economy without MONEY! It takes money to make money, stupid! Stop thinking with the heart and start reacting with common sense!

to Beyond the Hype

Did you actually READ those books or are you just copying the neocon BS that was sent out in the same email I got?

Maybe you should READ them and get everything in the right context BEFORE you message.

Why a bad economy helps Democrats is beyond me. It should hurt them. Every time we've raised taxes in a bad economy, it's gotten worse. That was done in 1929 and plummeted the country into the Great Depression. What a shame the general public, especially the looney left, is ignorant of this proven fact.

Beyond hype

You didn't even read the books, you got this information from a junk e-mail. I read both books and by posting lies, you prove yourself to be an idiot.

Fact check baby, fact check if you don't believe me and are too stupid to check things out BEFORE posting.

To "beyond the hype"
-Your malicious lies about Obama show you to be nothing more than a sheep following the fringe elements of the right wing. Why don't you peel yourself away from the Rush Limbaugh radio show, go to snopes.com and find out the truth about your supposedly truthful Obama quotes. You are an idiot and a spreader of lies. Why don't you fact check things before you spout your hate

Stimulis package is a fancy name for spreading the wealth and giving Alaskans a check a month for the oil they drill there is socialism and we pay for it at the pump. Companies sending jobs over seas is anti american and those owners should loose their right to vote and should no longer be considered americans. The republican rich while saying they are patriotic needs to pay their share in taxes to help pay for the wars in Iraq and Afgahnistan..Freedom comes with a cost.

Please Vote!
McCain/Palin and Fox News are counting on the 'I don't have time to vote for Obama voters.'
Polls are nice but it is the actual results that are deciding.

Nov 4th I will do my part for my country,
Obama/Biden in 08!

once again logic gets "moderated" out of existence by CNN. Do the math! a 0.3% annual drop is projected from a 0.075% drop in the thrid quarter. Subtract from the 2.8 GAIN last quarter because of the Bush stimulus checks and you get a 2.725% GROWTH for the last 2 quarters!! That's right the math from this article says GROWTH even though the article does not.
_____________________________________________________

I am not an economist but I beleive the article and many experts state that the only reason we had growth last quarter was due to the stimulus checks (you know, money we borrowed from China to buy stuff made in China to make it look like we are not so deep in the hole). The stimulus package was a temporary fix and now that the fix is gone, the true nature of the economy is showing itself. Our economy hasn't been growing for some time- Bush and his Republican policies have just been hiding this fact very well.

Mike- get your head out of Rush's behind and start thinking for yourself. The vast majority of Americans have seen NO GROWTH in their incomes or standards of living. Our economy is tanking and you are trying to state it isn't all that bad because it looks like we have had "growth"????

Everyone- GET OUT AND VOTE, VOTE VOTE TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What does McBush knows about the economy? I thought he said "he doesn't know anything about the economy"??

One more reason to turn the page over McCain and Bush's failed economy policies!

anti-obama carnival? oh my god, there is so much hatred in this country, and you guys talk about exteremists in middle east and other nations? John Kerry was also way too liberal and ran for president in 2004 and no one did these kind of things by then, why now? and talking about free country and free speech? When i see conservatives who are far right and do such things, the more i feel Obama should win the election and shut all their as**s up.

Say, did you see Obama's infomercial last light? Great stuff-NOT!!!
As if I need him to spend $5+ million to inform me that the economy is bad. On national TV, even.
Thanks for delaying the World series to clear this up for us!
Hope you got your money's worth on that one, Barry.

If you are a Republican then welcome to the Democratic party now. I will be your host and guide to your new found party. First thing is we sometimes have so many good candidates that we fight with each other like sibling rivalry, but we make nice in the end. Second we all hate the faux news channel, in fact we do two things every morning here at the party, we read the bible, and watch Faux news because we want to see what both sides are doing. We have pictures of the Kennedy's hanging on our walls, it is a sacralage to speak ill of any Kennedy. Finally we are all issued a Sean Hanity voodoo doll with a lighter, and large sewing needles.

Welcome to the Party!

yeah everything but Exxon they had a surge in profits this last quarter and McCain will spread more wealth to them.

John McCain's pals Exxon Mobil Corp. set a quarterly profit record. The company said its third-quarter net profit was $14.83 billion,

At the same time the gross domestic product fell at an annual rate of 0.3 percent in the same period.

Sunny colored trickle down the back of your neck is what you are getting.

Don't you just love Republican economics?

Listening tnow o the whack job diva, she is really off the reservation today.

She is really ramping up support for her 2012 run. The half-wit is all about social conservative values, abortion, blah blah blah!! Things no one give a rip about this election cycle.

hehehe

CNN censored me and all I said was McCain wants to give Oil Companies millions in tax breaks. I guess that's too controversial on the McCain-Light News Network.

"Students Egg Obama Poster at Ralley"

yet MORE violence and rascism incited by the PALIN/McCain campaign and their RIGHT WING FANATIC FOLLOWERS.

Don't they realize just how CHILDISH they look?

Yeah, I'm gonna take my cues on who to vote for from an idiot/pea-sized brain/liar/tax-cheat like Joe the pseudo-plummer. Looks like someone in the McCain camp has been slipping some Wild Turkey into McCain's metamucil; why else would he be out campaigning with this buffoon?

Senator McCains reaction time was much better years ago than it is now,,,,,,,,however,,,,,,,he did get shot down in VietNam. He is much older now,,,,is reaction time is much slower. America cannot wait for him to be shot down again. Sorry Senator,,,,,,this will be your last mission.

Do us all a favor Mc Cain, Drop out of the race and save the country the time, the money and the trouble ( and leave, by leaving the American people with whatever is worth to remember about John Mc Cain – Mc cain the POW – not the politician ; Picking Palin without a background check was the biggest mistake of your campaign, panicking during the financial crisis and wanting "suspend your campaign" didn't say much about your experience either). You've been tested my friend, and you have failed.
Barack talks about the issues, Mc Cain acts like a kiddengarden child, looking for insulting epithets ( socialist, radical ), and tries to score points by punching below the belt because he can not conceive anyhting intelligent to say and make a point.
Mc Cain you are desperately trying to stay afloat, here is your life vest. Concede in dignity before you loose in a mudslide.
And do yourself the favor and separate yourself from the likes of Sarah Palin, and Joe the Plumber before election day.

This country is in shambles right now. Jobs being lost left and right. We need someone who is dedicated and ready to lead this great nation on the right path again. We can't afford 8 more years of the same "trickle down" policies any longer. We need someone who will look out for the people rather than big oil and big corporations.

I pray that Obama gets elected. We need change and we need it in a hurry. McCain and Palin will just bring us more of the same 8 years.

Everybody cool out.....

Barack Obama is going to be the next president of the United States of America. I personally think no matter what your political beliefs are that this is going to be a great step forward for the American people. Yesterday I saw kids in high school with "Obama is my homeboy" t-shirts on. How can anyone think that is not a great thing? The GOP has tried to paint Barack as a "celebrity" like that is a bad thing unfortunately celebrities mold our countries young minds much more than presidents do, isn't it about time we had a celebrity worth looking up to.

beyond the hype> If you're going to quote things, quote the whole quote, and quote it in CONTEXT.
No more fear and smear!
We're sick of it!

and they are stealing the other half right now under your nose!

lost your house, job, and/or savings lately?

still dreaming of joining the 400 club one day at others' expense?

enjoy your capitalism until your dream comes true!

Sorry McSame, you can campaign with Joe the Loser, it will not make any difference. Barack Obama Campaign with Bill Clinton yesterday in Florida, Why don't you campaign with George Bush? The GOP is loosing their Bearings.

This is what Main Street knew all along. Wall Street just started to take notice.

beyond the hype:

I'm pretty sure everyone has seen those quotes by now. Did you actually read those books or are you just cutting and pasting the quotes you got from faux news?

Alice:

That's right, pull your money from the system and send jobs overseas. THAT will help improve the economy.

Alice Brinkley–how did you come up with such an perceptive comment? What do you have to base it on? Listening to McCain and his 'plans'? Wow...I'm sold!

Obama/Biden '08

Alice Brinkley:
What kinda name is that, a stage name?
Are u a stage dancer?
Shot your pie hole. You know nothing of what troubles the American Economy. You are a fraud and very unintelligent!

Listening to McSame speak in Ohio this morning it becomes so obvious he does not have a clue about the economy. All he wants to talk about is Obama. Once again he can fix that, just ask him.

Fed up enought with the Bush regimes lies, you really want four more years of a Liar? Thats what a McSame vote promises.

News Flash:::

Obama is going to raise taxes and he has Webbed Feet.

I am sick of this crap! Vote early! I did... turn off the TV and go Vote.
If we could capture the Hot air coming out of the McCain campaign.. could we consider that a New Energy Source?

Alice Brinkley:

Take your ball and go home. You haven't changed much since childhood and we don't expect much more of you.

CHECK OUT MY BLOG.............. billmrobinson.com

uh...many corp.s have moved or buying outside of the country...its called high unemployment.

And now we know why Bush isn't on the campaign stage with McCon. Obama can proudly stand on the stage with Clinton!! Vote the Democratic ticket!!

LISTEN:
MCCain can not help America right now period! He hasn't the ability and intellect.
Obama should be the Next President because he has a better plan.
Everyone, get out there and Vote for OBAMA/BIDEN if you haven't already.
Thats how we can end the decline in America's economic growth.

I find it difficult to believe anyone would want to campaign with Joe the unlicensed plumber.

The plumber would do better with Obama as President. He is just to dumb to realize it.

We would all do better with Obama as President: our children, the environment, greeen energy, healthcare, college affordability, taxes, and jobs.

I'm "Joe The Security Officer," and I'll be getting a tax cut under Obama's plan.

Under McCain's plan, "Joe The Oil Executive," "Joe The Wall Street Trader," and "Joe The Corporate Lobbyist" will be getting even bigger tax cuts than they have under Bush.

We all know who will look out for the Middle Calss. VOTE OBAMA!

Yes GDP fell, and Exxon Mobil posted it's highest quarter ever! Third quarter posted a profit of $14.83 Billion. Seems to me they also cried poor and got their fines reduced for the Exxon Valdez disaster!

Listening to McCain this morning and he's peddaling the nonsense he's been tested. He's been tested alright & he FAILED.

You've had 2 tests, John.

Your VP selection & your lack of Leadership on the Economic Crisis.

McCain doesn't care about the economy; he's rich.

All the "Joe" crap is just more GOP ploy to whine and complain without uttering a word of policy or present ideas. It's just dumb show.

And in the meantime, Exxon set a record for profits last quarter (something like $14 billion)... and other oil companies weren't that far behind. This has been going on for a few years now. Why are these companies allowed to gouge consumers & rake in billions of dollars while the average American has to deal with layoffs, foreclosures, the disappearance of healthcare & their own pensions, and other woes? I guess it helps to have a fellow cowboy in the White House. Thank God the end of his term is coming up.

We DEMAND change in Washington!!! GO to your voting place and vote Democratic. Please, even if you have to stand in line a long time in cold, rainy weather. National polls don't mean anything without YOU actually casting your vote.

Every economic recession this country ever had including the great depression came at the hands of the republicans. If you don’t believe Google "us recession" write down the dates and see who was president. not very complicated

It takes lots of people spending money not just a hand full, swapping out their Mercedes for Bentleys.

As far as cutting the top corporate for rate for Monopolies it just going to make them a larger monopoly also bad for the economy.

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."

McCain called for Joe the "Fake" to stand up for a round of applause as he is campaings in Ohio now, well guess what, he looked quite stupid when Joe the con man never showed... McCain is running out of everything... Obama for a better US and a better world.

I am listening to McCain now........same thing, he can't run on anything except Obama's policies and how he is going to do it different.....but he never says how different.......Joe the Plumber didn't show up......wonder if the lights came on and he realized McCain and Palin are losing .........and that he is being used like an old mop.........Now Palin is on her same of speech......and trash throwing.........I will be so glad when this is all over.........5 more days and then we won't have to listen to Palin and McCain anymore............

Regarding the news that Joe the Plumber is joining McSame on the campaign trail:

To quote Biden, " is this a joke ". I'm ROTFLMAO.
Haven't laughed this hard since McCain announced he had chosen Sarah Palin as his running mate.

Obama travels with Bill Clinton and this guy has Joe the Plumber. What does that tell you ?

Losers all the way!! LOL

It hasn't been eight years of failed policy as Barak likes to dish out more lies. We had six years of fine economy! Then the Democrats sneek in a majority into Congress and has tanked our country! Barney Frank is actually running ads for re-election saying he was in the wrong place at the wrong time! Do not trust Democrats! This is what you get! Barak is a liar! He hasn't been straight with America from the start!

Those who are receiving medicare benefits better investigate Obama's comment in the last debate on where he would make cuts in the budget. Obama said he would cut medicare subsidies to the insurance companies. I checked to find out what that would affect. All supplemental plans (Humana, Secure Horizons,AARP etc.)premiums would increase,medical costs, so would drugs and co-pays for seniors.

Is Sam, aka Joe the Plumber, Palin replacement for VP since her and mcsenile fell out?

I see that ridiculous dufus everywhere now. Somebody to tell him to fix his teeth and also not every man has the right shape of head to be bald. The look doesn't work for him, he just looks like a skinhead.

Any of you smart people want to vote for Mccain now.

Vote Obama......08

Sometimes McCain speaks honestly, he once said that he knew nothing about the economy so how can we expect him to fix it?

McCain is part of the problem while Obama is part of the solution
If i McCain is elected and then things continue deteriorating I think he will simply say, remember folks I I told you that I know nothing about the economy.

I am on the side of solutions

Obama&Biden 08

The US economy will continue to decline if Obama is elected. I will bring all my monies home into my mattress if That One is elected so The One can't get it. Or, will The One We've Been Waiting For set up laws for federal mattress searches? My best guess that folks richer than I am have already started to do this, including corporations who will move out of the country.

once again logic gets "moderated" out of existence by CNN. Do the math! a 0.3% annual drop is projected from a 0.075% drop in the thrid quarter. Subtract from the 2.8 GAIN last quarter because of the Bush stimulus checks and you get a 2.725% GROWTH for the last 2 quarters!! That's right the math from this article says GROWTH even though the article does not.

McCain doesn't understand the economy, so we need to elect Obama. I guess McCain is going to have to learn to play the banjo so he can go on the road with "Joe the plumber" now that he's becoming "Joe the Country & Western star."

THE HARDER THE SALES PITCH THE LESS VALUE THE PRODUCT. ALL YOU FOLLOWERS OF OBAMA ARE WISHING ON A STAR, OR HOPING A RICH UNCLE SENDS MONEY. ONE PARTY RULE IS A RECIEPT FOR DISASTER HAVEN'T YOU LEARNED YET. NO GO STAND IN THE CORNER YOU DUNCES....

2012

Wow, they're reacting to the economy...
Of course, something must be broken...maybe it was the bailout?

Or maybe now they'll give bailouts to the car-makers.
Now that there is one HUGE airline (NWA+delta) they'll be needing a bailout.

Go on keep promising to spend money when there isn't any...it worked so well for all of the homeowners in foreclosure...Who's going to bailout America when the bill comes due?

Vote BOB BARR, Libertarian for no bailouts, smaller government. Stop spending our future...

LIAR LIAR LIAR......LIAR LIAR LIAR.......

IF McCain 'knows' EVERYTHING why hasn't he FIXED IT ALREADY?

This guy is a JOKE.

Voted for the 'Smart Team' this morning.

What a great feeling voting for the Obama/Biden ticket.

Wow, they're reacting to the economy...

McCain has NO plan for the economy and how to turn it around – if he did – he has had more than ample time to present it and to gain the support of the millions of Americans who are facing severe financial hardship if not financial collapse as a result of DEREGULATION, OUTRAGEOUS SPENDING BY THE REPUBLICANS and the wrong war.

We truly need a purge and a new beginning – as an independent who is actually conservative in economic viewpoint – I believe we need to take a real turn to what has turned out to be 8 years of spending, taxing the middle income and giving grand and mega sized tax cuts to the rich and large companies such as Exxon/Mobil.

OBAMA and DEMOCRATS 2008

McCain's reaction to tough economic times is to have a fake plumber campaign with him. He's just going to follow the same failed policies that got us into this mess and hope for a different result. McCain's campaign is a joke.

Obama supports working families. He'll do the right things to get this country back on track. Support Obama. GET OUT AND VOTE!

Mccain Looks Angry In This Picture! His Finger Looks Like Its Ready To Push A Red Button!

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." Thomas Jefferson

Wonder who he would vote for... Obama???? NOT!!!!

I can put a chicken in every pot, I will pull a rabbit out of every hat, I can make a gray sky blue and I promise you my friends I will make plumbers out of all of you before I'm done.

mike – the problem is the Dems. aren't doing the math. They think that you can give 95% of the people a tax break when only 60% of the are actually paying any taxes at all.

No one from the GOP is out campaigning for John McCain and it's McCain's own faught, should have never picked Palin. McCain's poor judgement in supporting Bush 95% of the time and poor judgement picking Palin is enough to make anybody run away from him. John McCain somehow along the way totally lost his bearings and it may be due to his age. The best thing for McCain to do is attempt to cleanup his image which has been severly damaged, but it appears he's not willing to do that so he just continues down the same destructive path and that's the same destructive path he would lead our country into.

I'm so sick of hearing how "in touch" Obama is!

Obama offers nothing but gigantic government and higher taxes!

And that's "in touch?"....give me a break! These are solutions?

The utter idea that the govt can take on added responsibility and control your daily lives like never before and yet millions of uniformed, likely uneducated people are lining up and begging for this to happen!

And what's worse is this, you elect this Liberal pig, then you can't criticize anything because then you're a racist!

Obama may you go down in dismal defeat and go back to slums of Chicago where you came from.

CNN POST THIS!!

This seals the deal, we need a Democrat in the White HOuse!

Get ready: John McSame is going to "SUSPEND" his campaign again. LOL. He's an idiot and deserves NO PRAISE! A true American Hero fights with dignity, not shame. Not this time, not ever again will the American people be bamboozled! We are too educated. Five more days.....five more days.....five more days......five more days........

OBAMA/BIDEN -08!

Senator McCain wants to give additional child credit to working americans. That credit wil also go to non working americans. It rewards you for having children not paying taxes. A tax credit reduces the amount of income tax a working american will pay on their tax return.

Old man McSame, no new ideas, no plans other than to use untrue attacks even as the economy is worsening and the oil companies are making more money. screwing us taxpayers. Old man McSame will even allow these same oil companies to keep more money from us taxpayers while we slide deeper into the hole. Only Obama will ensure that these companies will not drain us dry, and that includes the gas in our vehicles and the food on our tables.

Let me get this straight: CNN will GIVE "free" air/internet time to McCain/Palin/Joe the Plumber, but CNN won't sell one measley half-hour to Obama. What's wrong with this picture? McCain was GIVEN a free hour on the Larry King Show, and GAVE at least a half-hour to Sara Palin's energy spiel. To top this, CNN is GIVING exposure to "Joe the Plumber" on air and on the internet; this guy could easily be on McCain's payroll. Plus, how many times will we see the McCain interview on Thursday and Friday? I reiterate, What's wrong with this picture?

Yes we are ready for change.. Go get em Obama

Hello, America! It's getting late. Accept your fate You voted for Bush, twice!!! You got what you deserved! No way can you be so dumb as to elect the GOP ticket again, right?

Do we really want a president that does not even know how to run a campaign. McCain had Virginia won until he announced he would cut government spending to all but essential programs, putting MILLIONS of northern Virginians out of work, destroying the economy for that part of the country. Go back and take a look at the polls. I want someone who carefully makes thoughtful decisions.

McCain is tanking the election to be vindicative for not getting the nomination.. so yes bring out Joe the Plumber while Exxon keeps raking it in... John Mc has done it again.. He has the Rogue Barracuda/Diva/Whack Job, Joe the Plumber, and the "Base".. Since I am not a part of his base should I think he cares for me... I can't wait till Nov. 5th....what a bunch!!

Shame on that fat crazy lazy Lou Dobbs. Last night he kept screaming that our economy is not as bad to drum up support for McCain because he knows economic woes are hitting Americans to vote for Obama. Lou Dobs is no Independent he is a BIGOT.

I've already cast my vote for Obama/Biden and it felt soooooo good!!

Well, Exxon Mobile just reported its earnings and WOW!!!!!!!! This is who McCain supports. How about Exxon spreading some of that wealth by giving away free gas or sending all Americans a nice stimulus check. No, they are probably planning their big party right now and figuring out the big bonus for their executives.

Maybe John McCain will explain his reason for giving a half million dollars to Rashid Khalidi. According to Sarah Palin, he is a spokesperson for the PLO.

Tough economic news-brought to you courtesy of the policies of
Bush and McCain.
So what does McCain do? He trots out a fake plumber, who thinks he is going to buy a business, except he can't afford it; who thinks that licenses are for everyone else; who thinks paying taxes is for everyone else. What a complete joke

We all know we are in ression. I guess they had to wait for the numbers to come in, but talking to the average american and listeninng to him her say we are in a ression is not good enough for the Rich guy rethug party. I knew something was wrong last year, but I could not "prove it" with number. Oh well, Obama is going to win next week and I am taking my country back from the thug party!! you betcha....wink....wink!!

Obama/Biden 08!!!!!!!!

Please vote Obama/Biden '08/'12. We as Americans need a positive
new direction. The McCain/Joe-the-plumber ticket is all washed up !!

On November 4th
Vote Obama/Biden '08/'12

McCain wants to give another 4 billion in tax breaks to companies like Exxon Mobile, who once again announced record profits today.

Unless Joe the Plumber holds Exxon stock, I don't think this will "trickle-down" to him anytime soon.

so, looking at this math, we have a 0.3 "annual" rate drop, that's actually only a 0.075% drop for the third quarter, subtract that from the 2.8% growth rate for the second quarter and you get at 2.725% GROWTH in the GNP for the last 2 quarters. Outside of the GROWTH being a bit slow, it's still GROWTH. This growth is also due in part by President George W. Bush's stimulus checks. Where's the problem Democrats?

You know....I'll bet Pres Bush voted for Obama! )))))))

"The fundamentals of the economy are strong, my friends"

On a related note, I called some Joe guy to fix my toilet over 48 hours ago, where the heck is he??

Obviously the GOP has completely lost it's way and unless they retool their party immediately there will not be any hope for recovery.

The sensible Republicans have all abandoned the GOP and are supporting Obama with nothing left for John McCain but the extemists and kooks with their own personal agendas.

America needs at least 2 strong political parties to keep an even balance but as of now there is only one so hopefully the GOP defectors can take their party over and get rid of the religious extremists and build their party back up again with a moderate agenda that works in today's society.

John McCain will continue the failed economic policies that Pres. Bush has been using for the past eight years. We need change. Barack Obama is the ONLY change candidate. He has a real plan, a steady hand, and the temperament and wisdom to guide us through these difficult times. John McCain is erratic, and he lurches from one attack, plan, idea, plumber, to another. Senator Obama is the calm, clear voice in the storm.

Interviewer: Senator Mccain and Governor Palin, what kind of plans do you have for this country?

Mccain: My friends, pow, iran, ayers, wright, khalidi, fight, right where we want them, obama this, obama that, Reagan, maverick, mavericker, maverickest, experience, pitbull, russia, joe the plumber, joe the plumber, joe the plumber, pelosi, reid, obama, vote for me…

Palin: Alsooooo, up there, and also because too that they were up there (wink) mavericky, (wink), joe the plumber, socialist, ayers, wright, khalidi, maverick, wardrobe, consignment shop, russia, up there, also, too also, Katie Couric, liberal, liberal media, tito, hannity, great state of Alaska, fight, energy, oil, alaska, wasilla, down syndrome baby (supersize that), also up there, pit bull, lipstick, also, too… Thank you, vote for me! Oooops. I mean us.

Mcain has ran out of anything new to say or do except parade new faces before the camera in hopes of getting attention.- His "tank" is bone dry.-- Obama seems tireless-

Just look at this mess Bush and Republicans have created, And what are you gonna do Mccain keep talking about Obama? folks 5 DAYS 5 DAYS, VOTE Lets end this 8 year Nightmare turn the page and Elect Obama FOR THE REAL CHANGE!!!

I guess McCain sees no problem with Exxon's record profits this quarter. ... and that does not include the tax break he wants them to get under his tax plan. ...

With poor economic news like this, I'm glad Sen. McCain admits he's strong on the economy and chose a qualified runningmate who's strong on the economy

maybe joe the plumber can fix it....NOT !!!! you are a sad man mccain.
maybe sarah the sleeze can fix it...NOT !!!!!

McCain trickle down has not worked...
I also see where Exxon/Mobile posted record profits...

Go Democrats!

Registered Republican "voted" Obama/Biden 08

Well, let's see…the McCain/Palin campaign has been erratic, angry, flip-flopping, hateful, socially divisive, lying, distorting, extremist, unable to put together any coherent message/vision for the road they plan for this nation.

They have offered and continue to offer nothing. Zero. Zilch.

What does McCain bring to the table? 'Obama this', 'Obama that', 'That One'. Not one policy, plan or vision.

Oh...they brought 'Joe the Plumber', 'Tito the Builder', slanders of 'socialism', 'he was hanging out with washed up terrorists', 'he was hanging out with an Arab', sleaze, slander...lies.

Palin? All she has to offer is her religious extremism, corruption, ignorance and her idiocy.

No John, you don't have what it takes to rule this grand nation. You never did and never will.

'I'm not George Bush!' He says. Well 92% of you is.

You have sold your soul, dignity and honor for so little.

Go Away little man. You are not worthy.

All Joe's can come out campaign for McSame now.

Obama only needs self-confidence to win.

McCain has six houses. What does he care about the economy?

Wait, maybe today McCain will find the solution through his new advisor:
JOE THE DUMBER

"I voted with the president 90% of the time. More than many of my Republican colleagues." -John McCain

Blue tsunami is calling your name!
We aren't gonna stand for four more years of the same...

There's a big difference between Obama's economic plan and McCain's trickle-down economic plan.

Think of the economy as a great big tree, with the wealthy way up as the top leaves, and the poor are the roots at the bottom. McCain wants to water the leaves on the top, and hope that the water trickles down and some water gets to the roots of the tree. Obama wants to water the ground at the base of the tree, where it is taken in by the roots, and goes up through the whole tree.

When the top gets money, there's no guarantee they'll use that to create jobs or to pay better wages. They'll hire as few people as they can, pay them as little as they can, and give the rest to themselves as bonuses. But when the roots get money, they're going to spend it, and when they spend the money, the people on the top make money. And it's not money handed to them by the government in the form of credits or tax cuts, it's money that gets pumped up to them through the capitalistic processes of our economic system.

If you only water the top of the tree, the roots die, and the tree dies. This is currently happening in our economy.

How stupid are republicans? If Obama is as dangerous as you say and the famous FBI, CIA and other law enforcement agencies allowed him to run for presidency then we are doomed. Get you scary acts out from our way and do something good with yourselves. This is the land of the free and we have decided Obama is the guy of reason for the season. Your fear tactics will not work. Well at least in the old testament God also used Gentile Kings in the bible that were not Jews or did not believe in him to help Israel and do his work.Learn from Jesus and do not judge like he forgave the adulterous woman and when he sent his disciples on a mission he told them not to judge but preach the good word and whoever accepts it fine if not just dust your feet and leave the judgment for God. I'm a christian too and don't believe in Abortion and other things like Gay marriage but I will spread the good news of God's love and leave it to God to judge them as Jesus instructed. And by the way we are all living a book written by God because he is Alpha and Omega and knows everything that will happen so give him credit for once that he is in charge of everything. He that has no SIN should cast the first stone.

McCain does not seem to offer any solutions just attack. He wants to make Joe the Plumber a hero. Joe the Plumber can't even understand a tax chart.

That's one of McCain's problem..he's so busy talking about what Obama's policies are and we never hear him say anything except "I know how to fix it"...Hhhhhhooooowww man, hhhhhhoooowwww?????

Good send more stimulas checks to pay for bills and Bankruptcy trustees... looks like the big compainies will get a bigger piece if the pie, we want jobs America... I am appaulled that Bush allowed this happened when spending 10 Billion dollars a month in a war, that was totally illegal.. Give us that money so we could grow...

Obama/Biden08/12

McCain said he would lean on his VP for help on issues such as economics. Now that we know who his VP is, I can't trust that ticket to help our country in this crisis.

There it is ! If you liked Bush you will love McCain !!!! dun voted for Obama, you betcha !!

Vote Joe the Plumber.. He's sharp on toilet Affairs. He's the future Washroom Secretary of State.
Exxon posted the largest profits ever for an American Company in this quarter. While that's great, ask John McCain why they need a tax break and people who posted a loss are being overlooked? Answer: Their lobbyists requested it.
This is a tough economic period for most of America yet McCain's proposals only benefit those on Easy Street. Who's lobbying for Americans? Where's your voice in Washington?

Barack Obama/ Joe Biden

We need change and not another 4 years of George Bush, BUT if everyone think McCain the crook is better then hey so be it people.

Record 3rq quarter profit for Exxon, though. Looks bad for McCain and all the more reason for Obama to halt those tax cuts to the oil companies.

Depression...what depression?
All economic indicators are fine, the government has chipped in your future earnings to fix everything, it's smooth sailing at some "indescribable point" in the future.

Isn't it time we gave another party a chance to screw things up.

McCain's reaction to EXXON record profits is: Give them millions more in tax breaks!

Has anyone, anywhere heard what mccain's policies are?? Well besides giving tax breaks to the rich that is.
mccain/palin = clueless patholgoical liars!

John McCain seems to have all the answers. He should go back to the Senate and fix it like everything else he has screwed up.

8 MORE YEARS! 8 MORE YEARS!

CHANGE BAD! MCSAME GOOD!

I guess John McCain will be calling in Joe the doctor and joe the funeral guy shortly because George Bush just called in joe the MOVERS.

We need overwhelming Democratic ticket victories at all levels to send a unified message to all America (and the Republicans in particular) that bombastic messages of hate, distortions and lies will no longer be accepted in political campaigns.
Maybe, then in future, we can have all contestants from all parties focusing upon substantive issues that affect our lives.
IF WE VOTE LOUD ENOUGH MAYBE WE WILL BE HEARD.THE BEST WAY TO SHUT DOWN THE GOP TACTICS IS TO MAKE SURE YOU AND EVERYONE YOU KNOW VOTES 100% DEMOCRATIC. GET OUT THE VOTE; TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED; IRRESPECTIVE OF THE POLLS.

I find the thought of either of these men attempting to lead us out of this mess to be nauseating. We'd better be prepared for a really tough time.

What is John McCain going to do now? I wish he would tell the American People what he will do except Joe the Plumber and Obama. They are not the key issues here.

Obama campained with President Clinton.
McCain to campain with poor Joe the Unlicenced Plumber.

It's funny that McCain's comment does nothing to distance him from the "trickle down" nonsense of the current President (which he supports, and has supported for 90% of his voting record over the last 8 years). Rather, he simply continues to mis-characterize the policy positions of the Illinois Senator.

"Corporations have been enthroned .... An era of corruption in high places will follow and the money power will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the people... until wealth is aggregated in a few hands ... and the Republic is destroyed."

- Abraham Lincoln

If you are interested in the real reason for our economic troubles, search for The Creature From Jeckyll Island.

Duh! It's time to nationalize the oil in this country.

Can McCain please get his talking points in order before he just starts talking nonsense. Tell him to stop and think about the words that are about to come out of his mouth. He confuses me when he speaks. I think he is a little senial at times.

Thank you Bush/McCain for a stellar job managing our country.

I am absolutely breathless with anticipation for McCrypt's pearls of wisdom, especially after he confers with Joe the plumber!

McCain doesn't have a clue. He's lived a privileged life for 72 years.

Obama knows what the average person is going through. He's been there many times in his life.

I voted early for the pair that will protect our Constitution.

Obama/Biden '08

McCain, what a joke. CNN why haven't you mentioned McCain's connection.

The International Republican Institute, under McCain's leadership in the 1990s, donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to a Palestinian research organization that Khalidi helped found.
