I feel McCain will completely annihialate Obama in the debates. It's very apparent that Obama cannot speak without a teleprompter or a speech written by Axelrod. On the other hand, McCain is a master in debates and will completely dominate.

McCain/Palin 08!
"Country First!"

So basically the above article is rehashing the obvious. How about a REAL story to report. VOTER FRAUD and disregard of federal voting laws in several "swing states", (Wisconsin, Michigan, etc.), and the Democrats blocking those trying to clean up election fraud.

"NO MORE BAILOUTS"
by David Neal
09-21-08

On the 10th of June 2008, the Bank of International Settlements announced the largest gain in derivatives outstanding since they started to report on this. The notional value of all outstanding derivatives now totals approximately $1.144 QUADRILLION. That is 1144 TRILLION DOLLARS.

At the exchange rate this week (Wednesday), 35 trillion British Pounds was equivalent to U.S. $62 trillion. According to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association , $62 trillion is the notional value of credit default swaps (CDS) out there, somewhere, in the market. Credit default swaps are not standardized instruments. In fact, they technically aren't true securities in the classic sense of the word in that they're not transparent, aren't traded on any exchange, aren't subject to present securities laws, and aren't regulated. They are, however, at risk – all $62 trillion of them.

These are TRILLIONS of Dollars not BILLIONS

Frustrated by the US government's rescue of AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, a group of 100 conservative congressmen today urged the Bush administration to stop keeping Wall Street afloat.

The RSC members, all serving in the House of Representatives, noted with alarm that the government action this week "has the appearance of a socialist and not a free market approach to managing our economy".

Rescuing failing financial firms has "set a dangerous and unmistakable precedent for the federal government both to be looked to and relied upon to save private sector companies from the consequences of their poor economic decisions," the RSC members wrote.

All while this was going on the Major Media could only talk of the "New Messiah". Not one ounce of investigative journalism on the subject of who is liable for all this debt. Not one article, not a single word telling of the vast financial imbalances of leveraged monies, YOU our elected officials and the Big Banks have created.

Just 9 days ago Henry Paulson (i.e.. former CEO of one of The Banks Too Big to Fail, Goldman Sachs) told us "all is well". He has no idea what to do or what will come of this or he is a liar.

The very same people that put us into this mess are the very same people advising the President and Congress on how to fix the problems they have created. This is insanity! The bailouts now being proposed are not bailing out American Workers but are bailing out the rest of the World on the backs of the AMERICAN TAXPAYER as if we don't have a huge enough burden already.

The numbers posed by the Bank of International Settlements are staggering. Billion Dollar infusions will do nothing to stop the inevitable. A few weeks ago the billions and billions in infusions of American greenbacks probably helped delay, but did not repair the devastation. Today these same Billions of Dollars in bailouts are absorbed like a thirsty Whale.

I can tell Congress one thing is for sure, that a movement has started and I and many many more like me are going to stop paying our taxes if this insanity of bailouts is not stopped, now! And we will vote every congressperson out of office if they vote for anymore bailouts, period!!!

We are in historically unprecedented times. The foundation is being laid for a default of USTreasurys in the wake of the greatest regulatory failure in modern history (i.e.. the repeal of Glass-Steagall), and the collapse of the US financial system. If you look back, Paul Volker predicted this would happen if the newly appointed Alan Greenspan implemented his ideas to make more money for the banks.

When this happens the World will turn their backs on us and things will get nasty real quick. All we will be left with is the American citizens, to pick up the pieces and start over.

Congress needs to remember who butters it's bread and start standing up for American Citizens like you were put there to do. We are not worried about a "global financial meltdown", we are worried about being taxed to death and putting groceries on the table. We could care less about what happens to Wall Street. You also need to understand, we can and will - take back our country from the criminals in charge now.

Here is a link to find your Congress Persons and email them your anger on these socialist bailouts that will do nothing to help the massive financial imbalances we face. They will only line the pockets of the architects of this mess and make our Tax burden unbearable.

STOP THE INSANITY NOW!!!

THE VILLAGES -- Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin told wildly cheering, flag-waving, chanting supporters that John McCain is "the only great man in this race" and promised Sunday he will fix the nation's economy if voters give the GOP four more years in the White House.

"He won't say this, so I'll say it for him," the Alaska governor said in an almost confidential tone at the close of her first Florida stump speech. "There is only one man in this election who has ever really fought for you. John McCain wore the uniform of his country for 22 years -- talk about tough."

The Villages, a vast, upscale planned community north of Orlando, has about 70,000 mostly adult residents -- many of them military retirees -- who vote reliably Republican in statewide races. Tens of thousands inched along roads into the picturesque town square of the complex, where they stood in sweltering heat for about four hours as local GOP officials and a country band revved up the crowd.

"Sa-Rah! Sa-Rah!" they chanted at every mention of her name, applauding loudly and waiving tiny American flags that were distributed -- along with free water bottles -- by local volunteers. The fire chief estimated the crowd at 60,000.

Let's see how many debate questions McCain can answer without using "POW" in the answer.

trickle down does not work mccain so you shovel up. Thanks but no thanks to maccain/pallin

McCain is too out-dated with his thinking. He is an American hero, no doubt, but that does not qualify him to lead us on issues like economics, which his knowledge and his record clearly show he is not up to the task.

Palin is plan and simple, an insult to the American people as to preparedness, intelligence on foreign policy and national issues and in no way the right person to be put in a leadership position for this country. The hypocrisy of not believing in sex education because it's up to the family in view of her 17 year old daughter's pregnancy is just staggering. And that's one of the things we happen to know about.

Obama is a very smart man. His heritage shows diversity and struggle, just like what America represents. He inspires people, he believes in debate and dissenting views and in navigating amongst the best and the brightest. He understands complex issues and has a genuine sense of self-sacrifice.

Biden is an excellent pick for VP. He balances the ticket with additional knowledge of how the beltway works...which is honestly what you need in order to truly know how to change it.

The Democratic party is the only chance we have to move forward and try to right this country. And I honestly feel embarrassed for Republicans with the ticket they have...a has been Maverick who has so twisted himself into something unrecognizable due to the Republican machine and his unqualified Miss Congeniality VP who runs a state roughly the size of the Austin metro area and obviously repeats statements being drummed into her by consultants with every syllable she utters. McCain/Palin would be a tragedy for this country.

VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

John McCain is an avid reader and is known for rereading many works of his favorite authors. The favorite author of John McCain is Herman Wouk who has written The Winds of War, War and Remembrance, and the Caine Mutiny. Wouk served as an executive Naval officer aboard a minesweeper during War War II and used that experience in forming the character of Captain Queeg in the Caine Mutiny. Victor Henry the main character in Winds of War and War and Remembrance was a naval officer who became a confidant both to FDR and Harry Truman. FDR and Harry Truman went outside the normal channels of military command and relied on Victor Henry for straight talk advice on how to approach Russia and Germany and Japan prior and during World War II. John McCain sees himself as the Victor Henry character who was a realist in foreign policy and understood the nuances of war and foreign policy better than anyone. John McCain is a realist and more knowledgeable about foreign policy than either Joe Biden or Barack Obama due to his experiences and also just growing up as the son and grandson of Navy admirals. It is totally inaccurate to argue that John McCain is somehow dogmatic in his approach and understanding of foreign affairs. Herman Wouk wove history into his novels. There is saying that those who do not know history are doomed to repeat history. John McCain knows history and has lived it and will use that knowledge to guide the United States through the tough challenges that we face in the war on terror and dealing with a resurgent Russia.

mccain will look even more senile when he debates with someone as smart and with the great judgement obama has. cant wait to laugh at mcsame.

"With all do respect moderator, I can't fully answer that question right now. But in seriousness my friend, when I was a POW, I didnt have the option to answer or not answer a question. That was the difference between life and death. I had to answer the guards. So I think I've earned the right, to take a pass on this particular question"- McCain in about 4 days

Obama/Biden

if mccain discover that the humans are greedy then he is naive and so is not electable as president.

I would like to know why the media isn't highlighting the fact that Sen. Obama ridiculed Sen. McCain because he didn't use a computer - trying to make it seem that he is too old for new-fangled technology. Sen. McCain is entirely capable of dealing with new technology, except that typing on a pc is very difficult due to his injuries while fighting for his country. If McCain's camp had created an ad as absolutely stupid and clueless about Obama, the media would have been howling for his head. I really hope that most people do understand that McCain has been called the most techno-savvy person in congress. This is one concrete example of the numerous lies from Sen Obama. I would like to see one solid example of a lie from Sen. McCain. It is easy to say that he lies, but no one will give an example. Let's hear it.

I'm looking forward to the debates as well, can't wait to see if McCain looks as stupid as Bush or more.

bhcg89: How such a visionary person as McCain and so educated about foreign policy and war as put us in this mess. How such a good reader and historian and with that is mccain finish 894 of 899 at the naval academy. How just growing up as the son and grandson of Navy admirals as the audacity to flip-flop from one day to the next. Come on Bro, explain

just the facts...

If McCain would create a pointless ad? Try Brittney Spears and Hilton...Just because his injuries stop him from doing so doesnt really give him a pass. That's like saying because you're blind you cant play basketball, and then you wanting to play for the Celtics. If he is old, and in-capable of basic acts, why is he running for President. And as for a lie they have told; how about the Bridge to Nowhere? That's 1, and we could keep going if you want.

PoliticsAsUsual, yes keep going. Thanks but no thanks to Obama

George Will threw McCain under the bus yesterday. Just look at the video.

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/09/21/this-week-roundtable-consensus-mccain-is-clueless-on-the-economy/

I guess hell has frozen over.

For those who neglect history, there was another governor who was under 45. One who also loved the outdoors, hunted, and had a bunch of kids. One who was a Republican reformer, and not afraid to attack his own party. One who became VP after just two years as governor. Amazing similarity but Teddy Roosevelt went on to become one of our greatest presidents.

Jerry Sweeney

Sarah Palin could be the best VP and the greatest President this nation ever had.

Women support Sarah Palin.

Despite what the liberal elite media may say, history will be made with a woman in the White House and not an African man who is strongly antisemitic.

Women support McCain/Palin '08 while Hollywood trash support Nobama.

McCain weakness are debates. His strength might be a town hall sort of meeting, but he will be challenged in this area.

Obama has never had to debate. The television networks always allowed him to answer AFTER someone with experience answered a question. I wish I had a dollar for every time Obama said "I agree with Hillary's answer"

McCain/Palin '08

No, it won't be 4 more years of the same- it will be 4 years of reform, economic growth, renewed leadership and REAL CHANGE!

It all depends on who is moderating the debates. The media is in total control of what the people are allowed to hear and will try to steer the discussion in the favor of Obama. Look for tricks as done in the past with call-ins and for Obama to be allowed to have notes or a teleprompter. Look for Obama to field most questions after McCain has set the pace and for hard balls to be thrown to McCain and softballs to be thrown to Obama.

I welcome the debates and hope to be able to watch every minute. I hope that some will be using live questions posed by regular citizens of all sociao-economic backgrounds, not just news personalities whose paychecks are ultimately provided by large corporate interests.

I now know for sure the media is favoring the democrats. This past Saturday Obama was in Jacksonville FL and had a large crowd of 30000, and according to a radio announcer 95% were black and they placed the whites behind the speaker podium so it would appear that there were a lot of whites there.
Yesterday Sarah Palin was at The Villages, close to Orlando and there were more than twice as many people there as at the Obama rally. Since both are overwith all we hear on the local TV stations is about Obama's visit, but not much about Palin. Well I think the people in this country are getting wise and will vote for McCain. For some reason the media are showing favortism and I don't think they or McCain treated Hillary Clinton and are giving Sarah Palin the same treatment. I'm a man, but I do not understand how women can vote for a party that has treated them this way. My wife and I are registered democrats, but we plan to change our registration to independent. For us, Country first and Party last. In between is family and Church.

You guys crack me up. It is always someone else. John McCain will get up and say the same thing over and over. There will be a striking difference in the obivious way the guys look. One is white, one is black. One is young and one is old. One has a low confident voice and the other one has a high pitched sort of voice. One will remind everyone of the future and one will everyone of the past.

PEOPLE - - - WAKE UP!! TREASURY SECRETARY PAULSON, ALONG WITH BUSH & McCAIN WANT TAXPAYER-BACKED CORPORATE WELFARE FOR THE RICH.

NO MATTER HOW THEY SPIN IT, THIS WILL BE SOCIALISM FOR THE RICH, AND A HORRIFIC DISASTER FOR THE MIDDLE-CLASS!!

Secretary of the Treasurer Henry Paulson knows the financial industry is a disaster and in deep 'elephant-manure'. The President and Congress agree. The problem now is the Paulson/Bush solution, which is to bailout the very same rich folks and corporations that helped bring us this national debacle. Come on people, can't you see this! The CEO's of these financial institutions doled out millions of bad loans and now they want TAXPAYER-BACKED CORPORATE WELFARE TO COVER THEIR LOSSES.

NOW GET THIS - - All the while neither Bush nor Paulson will acknowledge that this $700-Billion bailout is ONLY A PATCH FOR THE IMMDEIATE. THE FALLOUT OF THIS "8-YEAR-MESS-IN-THE-MAKING" WILL CONTINUE IN SPITE OF THE WALL STREET BAILOUT. The shock wave and repercussions will continue to spread as the:

(1.) dollar continues to sink,
(2.) inflation, food, retail, and energy skyrockets due to the printing of more paper money,
(3.) the value of homes continue to decline,
(4.) the skyrocketing lost of more jobs due to pressures on companies to secure cash,
(5.) more foreign nations pulling their investments from the U.S.,

DON'T YOU PEOPLE SEE!! STOP DRINKING THE BUSH-McCAIN KOOL-AID AND THINK!! DON'T BE BAMBOOZLED!! STOP BEING A DOPE!!

Notice how the liberal media always tries to spin the economy toward the Democrats? Click here to read a Bloomberg article on "How the Democrats Created the Financial Crisis:" http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aSKSoiNbnQY0

If McCain has all the facts about Chriss
Dodd and Barney Frank available...he can win the debate...plus the information about who received all those donations from Franklin Raines.
Can we say...Oh Bama $$$

Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. Twice in the last 8 years the American people have allowed the Republicans to steal presidential elections; and, as a consequence, this country is in the worst shape it's ever been in since the Great Depression (which was also caused by Republican policies). Now, how can anyone with an once of intellect believe that electing another Republican administration will somehow result in something different than what we've seen in the last 8 years. One has to be insane to believe that something different will happen by doing the same thing. Think about it people. This is our last chance to get it right. If we don't, the destruction of the United States started by the Bush administration will be finished by the Palin/McCain administration. Obama/Biden 2008!!!

The economy which is suppose to a strength of Republicans is a total mess. Point your fingers at everyone else and blame everyone else. But everyone else, other than Republicans know who is in charge and the buck stops with the White House and the guy in charge is a Republican. John McCain is a Republican and John McCain is a De-Regulator. The Facts are the Facts.

Everytime McCain flubs he looks for sympathy and pulls out his "war wounds" to end any intelligent debate. Palin's ignorance is so scary, she is an insult to women's intelligence.
The Republicans have pretended to be patriotic and to love America, when all along they wanted to plunder the treasury for their own gains.
It is definitely TIME FOR CHANGE - and steer this wounderful country back on couse again

Gallup Daily: Obama 48%, McCain 44%

I hope McCain brings up Ayers and the great USA hater the reverend w. Obama listened to him for 20 years so I guess he adopts the rev's theories.

I hope Obama threads through all of the economic messes that John McCain has been involved in including the Keating 5. McCain can not escape from history.

Idiot Quote of the Century

'My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it'.

Hopefully sanity will prevail in this country.
One candidate may be a little more popular, but his campaign is exetremely vague. He makes promises that he CANNOT keep. "Change", what is this "change"?
Obama may be a great, polished speaker but if you put lipstick on a snake, it is still a snake.
It is time to face reality, America, and put someone in charge who really will do some good for the country.

McCain/Palin 2008

"Obama is a very smart man. His heritage shows diversity and struggle, just like what America represents. He inspires people, he believes in debate and dissenting views and in navigating amongst the best and the brightest. He understands complex issues and has a genuine sense of self-sacrifice."

This poster, after mocking Palin's assumed lack of experience then goes on to laud Obama's as noted above! Isn't it quite telling, s/he can't actually list any real experience here? Where's teh beef? And s/he makes fun of Palin who is just the VP pick?! That's laughable.

Never happen in the voting booth. If you are over 13 you should know those polls don't mean much. Four years ago I though Kerry was going to win because he was ahead in the polls. I was for him, but now I wonder if something was wrong with me. McCain will win this one. The American people are not going to elect Obama, they don't trust him.
Almsot every one love Sarah Palin.

I couldn't let this one go: someone up thread said that McCain can't use a computer because of his war injuries. Baloney. That's nonsense being put out by Fox News. Truth is, McCain points to people in the crowd, he signs autographs, he punches out numbers on a cell phone. He gives the silly "thumbs up." His war injuries were to his shoulders, not his fingers.

Look, there are a lot of people in their 50's and older who never got into using computers. John McCain is one of them. That's all there is to it.

You can not be for Change and think that John McCain is changing anything other than his label this week. A Republican is a Republican. Call it what you want, but the facts are the facts.

"Almsot every one love Sarah Palin." Yeah, right. She's got the highest negative poll numbers of anyone in the race.

Most people don't like her because they realize her simplistic world view combined with a "don't blink" confidence is way too similar to another problem child: George W. Bush.

McCain follows Bush in his policies; Palin follows Bush in her character. A very dangerous mix, indeed.

Let me help you with one simple thing. Everyone in both Campagins know who has the most most registered and new registered voters and it is not the Republican party. The Dems are way a head in the number of new voters. That is why John McCain is acting so out of control.

The only people who love Sara Palin are moose hunters and the far right wing of the Republican party. She will be so toast in the Debates. She has been running for a full month and only 2 interviews. Just that story paints the whole picture. She is better at moose hunting than interviews.

I have never witnessed such a media-biased campaign. They treat Obama like royalty. Since when did the media stop reporting and start dictating policy. This is not american idol but they are treating like it's that sort of a contest. Edward R. Murrow must be rolling over in his grave. Here is a distinguisrd Senator who spent six years in a prisoner of war camp. This alone should give him the same respect you would give any stranger on the street but the media is a runaway train.
Scott Pelley of 60 minutes treated Senator McCain with distain in his inverview.

There is reason why democrats score point in the economy, because the economy does better with democrats historicaly ESPECIALLY in times of financial crises. We need another JFK< FDRand that is Obama. Even their educations are nearly identical. And their backgrounds, degrees in law, followed by being a senator for JFK. Being young, being able to think outside the box,and simply BEING Outside the box. I am hopeful if Obama gets in. When i THink of Obama I think of us having the same green revolution technology boom as Germany and denmark are enjoying. When I think of McCain I think I need toget a chicken coop in teh backyad and stock up on rice.

i cant wait until obama and he will hammers mccain on his treasonous part of teh keating five and how he left his ex-wife for w young rich women,and how he has voted with bush over 90% of the time. we true honest americans want the truth,from mccain and with palin i wnat to hear why she thinks alaska should secede from the union and why she wants to make being christain law.

Debate on economy. Two views. Obama: "regulate Wall Street". McCain: "Let's just fire everybody; and by the way, remember all that stuff about deregulation I pushed years ago - well, nevermind." How about that AIG bailout? Obama:"Pathetic, but necessary." McCain:"I was against before I was for it before I was against it...again".

Kent, you are hot today man, too bad you are wrong so much. I'm a registered democrat and I have finally woke up to the fact that that party has gone to the dogs and is not the old democrat party anymore. You are dumb if you haven't kept up with what has been going on even back in the Clinton administration. All this started under his keep and you know it. All the agreements with other countries. I myself do not like Bush, but I do believe McCain is different and is the one to lead us out of this trouble. We don't need someone to bankrupt us more. Obama is not smart enough to do this. He would make a good Chicago shoe shine boy and you should put you up a stand next to him.

I dont' love Sarah Palin. As an animal lover and proud supporter of the environment, she scares me to death. Does everyone just vote party regardless of their candidates stand on issues? Do you know what she stands for? Here's one issue she supported..and you tell me if this is the type of person you want to be that close to leader of the country. Have you ever heard of aerial hunting? It's a brutal practice. Wolves are shot from low-flying aircraft or chased to exhaustion, then killed at point-blank range.

Governor Sarah Palin, the Republican nominee for Vice President, promotes this barbaric practice, exploiting a loophole in the Federal Airborne Hunting Act to allow private wolf killers to shoot down wolves using aircraft. To encourage the killing, she even proposed a $150 bounty for the left foreleg of each dead wolf!

We have to get the word out about this! Please watch this powerful new television ad by Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund, and then share it with every wildlife lover you know:

http://actionfund.defenders.org/palintvwolf

Arguing anonymously on the internet is such a waste of time... your all idiots.

Hello Barefootboy. The our Great Nation can not afford the economic views of the Republican party any longer. It is a simple fact. The current President came into office with a surplus and is leaving in 8 years witht he greatest debt. Another 4 years of the last 8 years and I will have to learn Chinese because they will own this Country.

Unlike most people, I am going to be looking for good common sense and intelligent understanding of the situation, not one line zingers and insults. If McCain starts with the usual zings and attacks then I will not listen to him not even for even a minute. If he cant get serious about this election then he will lose because it is he that is behind and it is he that needs to convince me and America that he's smarter or more open minded than Obama, which I seriously doubt, and not just better at witty insults.

kent---very true kent....we must vote democrat from top of ticket to teh bottom or face the destruction the republicans will continue to bring down on us.

This would be interesting if they hadn't managed to turn the Vice Presidential debate into a beauty contest with nothing more than simple short questions and answers. I'm sure that Ms. Congeniality will do just fine nnow that they can't ask her about her experience.

I wish they could draw more attention to her abysmal womens rights record.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (CNN) -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's hometown required women to pay for their own rape examinations while she was mayor, a practice her police chief fought to keep as late as 2000.

A former Alaskan lawmaker says it seems unlikely that Gov. Sarah Palin was unaware of Wasilla's policy.

Former state Rep. Eric Croft, a Democrat, sponsored a state law requiring cities to provide the examinations free of charge to victims. He said the only ongoing resistance he met was from Wasilla, where Palin was mayor from 1996 to 2002.

"It was one of those things everyone could agree on except Wasilla," Croft told CNN. "We couldn't convince the chief of police to stop charging them."

Alaska's Legislature in 2000 banned the practice of charging women for rape exam kits -- which experts said could cost up to $1,000.

Palin, the Republican nominee for vice president, often talks about her experience running Wasilla, population approximately 7,000, and that has prompted close scrutiny of her record there. Wasilla's practice of charging victims for their rape exams while she was mayor has gotten wide circulation on the Internet and in the mainstream media. Watch CNN's Jessica Yellin check the facts in Wasilla »

Some supporters of Palin say they believe she had no knowledge of the practice. But critics call it "outrageous" and question Palin's commitment to helping women who are the victims of violence.

For years, Alaska has had the worst record of any state in rape and in murder of women by men. The rape rate in Alaska is 2.5 times the national average.

Interviews and a review of records turned up no evidence that Palin knew that rape victims were being charged in her town. But Croft, the former state representative who sponsored the law changing the practice, says it seems unlikely Palin was not aware of the issue.

McCain, Obama in tight race as debates loom
"I find it hard to believe that for six months a small town, a police chief, would lead the fight against a statewide piece of legislation receiving unanimous support and the mayor not know about it," Croft said.

You and kent will probably be on the losing end on this one. Why is it that Palin has twice as many people at her rallys that Obama? I just don't think the American people are a dense as you two. Will know soon.

barefootboy-----um what---yea up til now obama has had huge massive rallies now he has changed his focus to small venues. obama had just at the democrat convention more people teh republican convention and all rallies since midsummer. teh excitement is with teh democrats and the win will be also.

I'm a registered Republican and I see how far the GOP has gone to the dogs, ever since BUSH and McSAME. I will vote for OBAMA because he is not a BUSH-CLONE. McCAIN "I think you will find that I agree with the president most of the time, not all of the time, but on every important issue, about 90% of the time I stood by the President". And of course also said that the economy is "fundamentally strong" of course he has had no option but to do a flip-flop.

Speaking of flip-flops, he said "I do not support a bailout" then the very next day, after BUSH announced the largest bailout in US history he said "the bailout was necassary". The truth is he can't possibly make that judgement either way because as he said "I really don't have a very good understand economics".

barefootboy-----um what---yea up til now obama has had huge massive rallies now he has changed his focus to small venues. obama had just at the democrat convention more people teh republican convention and all rallies since midsummer. teh excitement is with teh democrats and the win will be also.

Well Obama was in Jacksonville FL Saturday and had 30000 people and most were black and the few whites they had were placed behind the speaker podium to make it appear that there were more whites. Palin was at The Villages close to Orlando and had over 60000 people there and people turned away. They called it Palinrama. The papers didn't have much about her but loaded with articles about Obama. It is all media driven but the people know what is going on and I think you will see that on Nov 4th. Why do I know all this about this past weekend, I know people that was at both of them. The media did admit that Palin had twice as many people

The only thing that I will be disspointed with that come November when Sara Palin heads back to Alaska is that I will not know the lastest recipe for moose stew. I was really looking forward to that.

barefootboy----like i said obama had much larger rallies when he was trying to have them he has downsized his rallies because the republican slime machine attacked him on it but now teh republicans are having big hollywood rallies but that is good and ok...you republicans are some sad nasty evil epople i hope all of you burn in hell.with your god george w. bush.

I am telling you everyone at that rally for Palin was to learn the lastest tip on moose hunting. The season is about to open soon.

Get real. McCAIN has admitted that he "does not know how to google". Heck, my mother who is about McCAAIN's age (and retired for 10 years) doesn't use a computer. Even McCAIN has admitted this and he admits to very little. If it were untrue then the McCAIN camp would respond and the media would cover it.

This has nothing to do with war injuries, it is completely generational and this add is nothing compared to adds run by the McCAIN/PALIN LIE MACHINE.

Kent, I'm getting off here but you libs keep up the criticizing of Palin. This is helping her more than anything and this has been admitted by some liberal media. The lates poll show that 67% of men approve of her and 62% of women. I though it would be reversed, but you democrats have been telling hillary and sarah that they don't like women. Obama threw hillary under the bus and then told her supporters to get over it. My wife and I were Hillary supporters and we are joining millions of others and voting against Obama. He thought they would all fall in line and vote for him, but he will find out. I remember when they said he had a gay relation with Larry Sinclair and now I'm beginning to believe he may have. I'm registered democrat but will soon be registering as an independent before people accuse me of being gay.

No, it won't be 4 more years of the same- it will be 4 years of reform, economic growth, renewed leadership and REAL CHANGE!

I have a "Bridge to Nowhere" I would like to sell you or if you don't like bridges I could sell you the "Road to Nowhere" that Alaska has built with taxpayers money (it cost millions and leads to the "Bridge to nowhere or at least to where the bridge was suppose to be).

A cursory dig through John McCain’s voting record begs the question: how can the same man who served so honorably as a soldier serve soldiers so dishonorably? How can we point to his experience in North Vietnam as the mold which forged his character, when the character that it forged voted against the interests of his fellow veterans time and time again?

DEAR ABBY:

I have always wanted to have my family history traced,
but I can't afford to spend a lot of money to do it. Any
suggestions?

Sam in California.

DEAR SAM: Register as a republican, and run for public office.

McCAIN and PALIN will do very well in the debates.

Palen won Ms. Congeniality twice and now that they've dumbed down the questions it will be a breeze.

In the case of McCAIN and PALIN the bar has been lowered so much even McCAIN can step over it.

indevoter you need to find out all about the things that was in that bill before you comment on it. He was for some of it, but some things the veterans administration was against. I'm active in the American Legion and Knew what was going on. You libs need to research these things instead of shooting your mouth off not knowing what the bill said.

Wonder if Larry Sinclair will be there. If so Obama better go also, Biden may beat his time.

from vetsforobama - NOT MY OPINION, theirs - and what part of "time and time again" did you not get.

You guys crack me up. It is always someone else. John McCain will get up and say the same thing over and over. There will be a striking difference in the obivious way the guys look. One is white, one is black. One is young and one is old. One has a low confident voice and the other one has a high pitched sort of voice. One will remind everyone of the future and one will everyone of the past.

You forgot one acts Presidential, OBAMA, and one does not, McCAIN.

A college student in Denver is creating a stir after notifying the media that her English professor gave her classmates an anti-Sarah Palin writing assignment.
Janna Barber is a student at Metro State College in Denver, Colorado, where she attends an English class taught by Andrew Hallam -- who she describes as a "self-styled liberal Bush basher." The controversy began when Hallam gave an assignment that directed his students to write an essay contradicting what he called the "fairy tale image" of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Furthermore, according to Barber, Hallam asked Republican students to identify themselves, and then he sat back and laughed while other students ridiculed them and shouted four-letter obscenities.

This upset Barber, who filed a complaint with the school and brought the matter to the attention of the local CBS affiliate. Since then she has appeared on Fox News and the O'Reilly Factor.

Matt Barber is Janna's older brother and the director of cultural affairs at Liberty Counsel. He says the school has been "obstinate" about the incident thus far.

"They are really setting out my sister Janna and trying to portraying her as kind of a lone agitator in this situation," says the Liberty Counsel spokesman. "And [they] are not expressing any remorse and are giving no indication that they intend to exercise any disciplinary action against Professor Hallam, which is definitely due."

But Matt says since the story broke, Hallam has announced the assignment will include other political figures such as Barack Obama and John McCain. Regardless, Matt contends the damage is already done. He also believes this problem is not isolated.

"So I would encourage -- and I know Janna is encouraging -- other Republican and conservative students on campuses around the country to stand up and expose their professors who are trying to brainwash students on college campuses," says Matt.

The local CBS affiliate quotes a school spokesperson who acknowledged that while it is the responsibility of the school to provide opportunity for critical thinking and civic engagement, Hallem "should have broadened [the assignment] and included all the political figures."

Obama is toast. The AP poll on racial attitudes is a foreshadow piece, letting the far-left of this country down gradually.

No focus on his socialist policies, massive wealth redistribution, the extra $50,000,000,000 in anti-poverty handouts the UN is so good at siphening money from, or that he couldn't find any corruption in Chicago to "change." Simply that he is "not like those guys on the dollar bills."(BHO)

I'm sure I'll get the usual responses of "McSame" or (a personal favorite)"Bush III." So be it. But remember that a vote for BHO is not a vote against Bush. You're voting against a true patriot in McCain and for Rev. Wright's 20 year student.
