Political Punch

Really something to see, the hatred and lying, from both sides.
No wonder WE are in the situation we are in.

hfp said: Obama sicks JUSTICE DEPARTMENT on legal makers of legitimate truthful campaign ad.

Sidekick McCain "don't know nothing 'bout the economy" and has new ideas or plans to stimulate it. So he tries to distract with his Karl Rove strategies. BTW freedom of speech was sent packing by the current administration. No third term and no McCain.

Obama sicks JUSTICE DEPARTMENT on legal makers of legitimate truthful campaign ad. This is abuse of his position as a Senator and presidential candidate. This is the tactics of Stalin and China, right here in the good 'ol USA.
There was nothing factually incorrect with the ad, so his campaign is using intimidation tactics. Goodbye Free Speech, Goodbye Freedom if he's elected!

It also worth noting that the difference between Obama and McCain when it comes to public appearances is that Obama can DRAW crowds of thousands, while McCain merely inserts himself into any place where more than a few people have loitered.

The lame complaints of the anti-Obama crowd smack of candidate envy.

History will laugh at those of you who actually try to discredit Obama by claiming that he is the anti-christ. I laugh every time someone actually argues this point. The fact that these people are foolishly and selectively mixing scripture from Revelations and Nostradamus prophecies makes me laugh every time. The very argument goes against the tenets of Christianity.

For those that take issue to the columns, do a little searching and you'll find that almost every presidential candidate, senator or congressman has had their picture made or been filmed in front of, you guessed it, greco-roman columns. Possibly because they are pert of the architecture in D.C.

Come back to the discussion when you can argue a point that the GOP or Fox hasn't spoon fed to you.

Swirl,

Isn't your "man of the people" the one who measures inflation by what the price of arugula is and states he doesn't think high gas prices are a problem?

How about you rely on yourself, not government?

They have to try and poke fun at his ability to attract 80K people because what else do they have? McCain would be lucky to draw 5000 or less. They would have to pay people to fill the bleachers at a local HS for him.

Obama - I hope you are elected so I can quit my job and live off the government. I don't like getting up in the morning, but until now I had to so that I could eat and have healthcare. If you are elected, I will no longer have those problems - so I'm pulling for you.

John McShame & the Republican's political gospel: public office is private graft.

Google it!!

Obama/Biden 08

"listen, im done with the war subject... lol im so sick of talking about what bush's intentions were. frankly, at this point i dont care."

You fear government takeover of health care yet don't care about government lying its way into war that has left thousands of American men and women dead.

Thanks Republicans for putting yourselves on display for all to see.

If the Democrats honestly believe that the edifice they have raised in Mile High Stadium is the best way to convey a message to the people tuning in tonight, they don't or won't understand why millions of Americans are not supporting him. Clue: it has nothing to do with "funny names" or exotic background.

All this making fun of Obama for having his speech at a big venue is hilarious.

Why wouldn't we want a president who people actually want to come out and listen to instead of someone they won't even to bother to watch on TV during prime time?

It's a TEMPLE OF DOOM, is what it is.

This is what happens when a campaign gets into BUBBLE mode, and overeager advisors sell stupid ideas to an insulated, INSECURE, and not-too-savvy, candidate.

This temple idea was STUPID.

Why is Obama continually pandering to the "Nose in Air" Whole Foods and Starbucks wing of the Democratic Party? Does he feel so sure of the AA vote that he thinks he can throw the poor white blue collar contingent under the bus with Grandma and Rev. Wright?

Someone should teach the man that there is elegance in simple settings. There's DIGNITY, too, when you don't need silly visuals to prop up a real message--if you have one.

Fake, plywood columns straight out of the Christopher Lowell school of decorating aren't going to impress "regular" or "real" people. The latte and arugula wings of the party may be loving it, but Joe Sixpack thinks the candidate has gone overboard, and is INAUTHENTIC.

And he HAS. And he IS.

Hey Dave...It's not a sin to be rich, but I won't vote for someone who is out of touch with those of us who aren't.

Frankie, most people don't have any problem with his skin color or whatever his race is. One of our most cherished leaders stated "I dream of a day when a man is judged not by the color of his skin but by the strength of his character."

By far and away, most people who object to BHO is due to his lack of experience, his poor judgement in not backing the surge, his stubbornness in not admitting it has been successful, his unwillingness to meet the press and answer questions without a teleprompter telling him what to say, and his policies that he would like to implement should he become president.

The color of his skin is not a material concern except for those who want to see him become the first black president only because he is black.

If Biden has been a carreer politician in the Senate over the last 30 years and he he didn't marry a woman with a lot of money, how could a person end up with a sprawling compound in Deleware on a government salary?

I am a Singaporean and I am following the United States Election Campaign everyday. I think history is going to be made this time and Barrack Obama will be the next president of U.S.A. One thing puzzles me - why do so many people have a problem with the color of his skin? I thought his mother is a white women, an American? So, logically, he actually represents both the white and the blacks in America. You should be happy....

One thing the Dems do well is throw a great party. They stay in the most expensive rooms at the Ritz, eat the most expensive food, have the biggest screen monitors in the world, fly in on their jets, give record amounts of money to their cause and spend their time saying how terrible the country is and how poor the people are.

Meanwhile their leader made over $4M last year and the best descriptions of the houses of their leaders are not houses or condos but sprawling compounds.

OK Let's talk substance. The GDP is actually up over 3% for the second quarter. Where's the recession? Ooh, I saw a homeless man today. Ooh, I heard someone saying we MIGHT lose our health insurance. Ooh, I had a bad time with cancer treatment. The census reported yesterday the number of unemployed people DROPPED by over a million people OVER THE LAST YEAR!

I believe we can agree we do have economic problems caused by high gas prices and the conversion of corn to ethanol is driving up food costs. JM's plan, increase oil production, invest in alternatives for the future, develop nuclear and clean coal production to lower the price of gas, improve our trade balance and provide jobs here in the US. JM is also calling for the reduction/elimination of ethanol subsidies.

BHO calls for inflating tires, buying cars that don't exist and can't with today's technology, continuing with high gas prices and keeping the farm subsidies that are hurting us.

The Dem response to our economic issues? "What if the hurricane turns into a cat 5 and hits New Orleans? Wouldn't that be great!"
