As Dow Plummets, McCain Campaign Highlights Palin's Attacking Obama on Ayers

To "Geo"...playing the "fear card" is no hypocrisy at all. It’s called a “major difference”.

The type of fear McSame and Wailin’ Palin is peddling is based in playing on people’s ignorance of the facts. Just as the Great Uniter has done for the last 8 years.
The kind of ALARM Obama is sending is a message that if you want another four years identical to the last eight years (let alone the last 8 weeks!)then vote for the man who stood side by side with the outgoing Administration 90% of the time. Now THAT is something to fear! Hypocrisy? Nah, just STRAIGHT TALK (wink wink!) you betcha!

It's amazing how the democrats have yelled for the last two decades that Hey Geo, you wrote: Republicans were using fear tactics (terrorists, etc.) to win elections, and here we are in this campaign, all we hear from Obama is "fear tactics" - trying to scare people into believing that if we vote for McCain, it will be another 4 years of the Bush admininstration. Hypocrasy...
This is reality, not hypocrisy. And these aren't scare tactics, it's the cold hard truth. The Dems don't have to "try" to scare anyone with a '4 more years'mantra. As you can see by the polls, most people aren't willing to go down that GOP road again.

There is a huge difference between suggesting Obama supports local terrorists compare to suggesting McCain's policies are no different from the current administration. Using words like terrorist, damning American, etc.. are fear-driven tactics. Asking people to compare McCain's plans to Bush's policies, on whether you want more of the same.. isn't fear-driven, it's reality. And a lot of people are facing the hardship of reality these days. If McCain's plan was better, he wouldn't have to divert his campaign to fear-driven tactics. It's really sad, I thought McCain was better than that.

This woman is a nut case.I will be my last dollar McCain is now wishing he had never put her on this ticket.He won't admit it but baby you can bet on it.
What are they thinking.They have lost this race so now they want to ruin what is left of this country,,, .......

It's amazing how the democrats have yelled for the last two decades that Republicans were using fear tactics (terrorists, etc.) to win elections, and here we are in this campaign, all we hear from Obama is "fear tactics" - trying to scare people into believing that if we vote for McCain, it will be another 4 years of the Bush admininstration.

Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending
By STEVEN A. HOLMES
ln a move that could help increase home ownership rates among minorities and low-income consumers, the Fannie Mae
Corporation is easing the credit requirements on loans that it will purchase from banks and other lenders.
The action, which will begin as a pilot program involving 24 banks in 15 markets -- including the New York
metropolitan region -- will encourage those banks to extend home mortgages to individuals whose credit is generally not good enough to qualify for conventional loans. Fannie Mae officials say they hope to make it a nationwide program by next spring.
Fannie Mae, the nation's biggest underwriter of home mortgages, has been under increasing pressure from the Clinton Administration to expand mortgage loans among low and moderate income people and felt pressure from stock holders to maintain its phenomenal growth in profits.

Better to do your homework and show some balanced reporting. I have not seen a reprint of this article anywhere in the media, but it is certainly circulating amongst taxpayers!

Okay, Obama is a lawyer and Biden is a lawyer. Isn't it the lawyers that messed this whole country up in the first place, including all the ones we have there now in office? That's the single least trusted profession in the country according to polls for the last 10 years, and yet we have naive people all over the country thinking (it's a miracle - they are going to tell the truth now?). Just because they say they will do something - DOESN'T mean they will! They get paid high salaries to lie professionally and twist words so you can't understand what they are saying. Then they deceive people into thinking they sound so intelligent, so they get elected. WOW - That's really what we need in office right now. What a JOKE! Let's see a list of how they have ever helped you. But please start by listing the Bill you got from them. They are good at taking your money - just where they belong - in Washington. People wake up!

if all(and I mean all) of you have nothing better to do...get a job, pay some taxes, doesn't matter who becomes president, they will not have a good approval rating as their campaign promises are lies, and we all know it so why argue. Just go and vote your useless vote and wait to see who the electoral college elects. Wake up America, your vote does not count. Read your history books.

Sarah Palin ended her debate last Thursday with a quote from Ronald Reagan about how, if we aren't vigilant, we'll end up "telling our children and our children's children" about the days when America was free.

Only Reagan wasn't warning about Soviet aggression or terrorism. He was warning against legislation that would guarantee health care for older Americans - the program known as Medicare.

Now McCain is going after Medicare as well. McCain wants to pay for his health plan with MAJOR reductions to Medicare in a move that independent analysts estimate could result in cuts of $1.3 TRILLION.

In a 1991 interview, Alaskan Independence Party (AIG) founder, Joe Volger, said: ”The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government. And I won't be buried under their damn flag.”

After denouncing Federal regulation of land use, he added: ”And then you get mad. And you say the hell with them. And you renounce allegiance, and you pledge your efforts, your effects, your honor, your life to Alaska.”

Todd Palin was a registered AIP member from 1995 to 2002, and the AIP leadership certainly considers Sarah Palin as one of their own.

You wont see the reports of Palin and McCain talking about the economy here. You need to go to other news agencies to see it. You also wont find the information on Obama and his terrorist friends and campain manager here. You need to see other news reports elsewhere.

Palin unleashes the hatred we all know is really the only message Republicans have going for them.

With the crowd yelling "KILL HIM!" "HE'S A TERRORIST!" Palin encourages fear and foaming at the mouth hatred. She smiles while she incites Republicans to spew hate against a candidate running for office.

I find it interesting that these people keep bringing up this Alaska thing for Palin but fail to mention the bill that Obama and Biden signed a while back which would of gave the ok for Hawaii to leave the union. Face it guys Obama/Biden are much more kooky than McCain/Palin...no matter what things you spin. Also, I havent heard Obama talk much about how hes going to "save the nation" like the media thinks hes going to do. What is his idea for the economy? Also, the media FINALY covers ole Bill Ahers and its in a negative light to the republicans and not to Obama...WEIRD!

Missy - You haven't heard Obama/Biden talk about economy because you may only listen to McCain. Everybody knows that economy is a hot topic for Obama/Biden, and they are talking about economy everyday. The person who is avoiding this topic is your favorite McCain. Everybody knows that he is now turning to personal attack rather than talking about economy. Obama will use the money that is spending in Iraq and the tax money that is giving to the wealthy to pay for his tax cut. How will McCain pay for his tax cut? How will McCain pay for the War in Iraq? Cutting government spending will NOT enough to pay for these expenses. You need to listen to both sides.

Maybe if you people watched McCain/Palin talk you would see that they are talking about the ecomony. Actually I haven't heard Obama/Biden talk much about the ecomony, or how they plan on paying for giving 95% of the tax payers a tax break in this economy. I do feel that Barack Huessin Obama's character should be questioned and I don't see anybody questioning his qualifications to be President, his campaign would rather question the qualifications of Sarah Palin the bottom of the other ticket. What about his attachment to ACORN? PEOPLE WAKE UP, Barack Obama has absolutely no qualifications except to run for an office and THAT'S IT!

Palin's husband has connections with a radical separatist Alaskan group, Alaskans who hate America!

Once again in a time of national crisis, our nation is being polarized with fear and hatred, this time led by Sarah Palin and John McCain.

It is the responsibility of the media to reveal truth, and NOT further fan the flames of an increasingly volatile situation. Not only has Palin successfully affixed a bulls-eye on Obama, she also is putting the press in great danger by stirring angry crowds.

This is a frightening situation in the face of a serious economic crisis. And, where is the "great leader" McCain? Along for the thrill-ride!

Out of concern for the safety of your reporters and the public at large, PLEASE refuse to report on Palin's campaign rallies. Her untruths and her vitriol do NOT deserve your attention!

Also, in reporting about this, please do not further incite the situation. Please report as clearly and responsibly as possible. Palin does not speak facts. We need to learn them from you.

This is not "kitchen sink" campaigning; this is hate-filled and intentionally polarizing rhetoric. Please, let us not repeat the mistakes of the past.

McPain fiddles while the DOW burns.

NAIROBI, Kenya —
The American author of a best-selling book attacking Barack Obama as unfit for the presidency was being deported from Kenya on Tuesday, a criminal investigations official said.

Oh, Obama... what now "my friend" and "fellow American"....
