Bubba and Barack to Rally in Sunshine State

Clinton only campaigned with Obama so he would pay off Hillary's 10 million campaign debt. The unity of the democrat party is a alussion and comes down to money and lies. Obama used the same acorn fraud votes to rob Hilliary.

I agree Obama is a danger. I worked for the FBI anti terror unit for 25 years. All of Obama's associates were under our watch. They are attached to world wide terror groups. Obama is a extreme left wing anti american constitution, He is far worse than Castro or Chavez. He received over $$$250 million fraud campaign donations from Iran and Saudi. Wake up america. If he is elected their would have to be a milatary coup to remove him. After 25 years as a counter terror expert I must warn America Obama is a enemy of your freedom and safety.

Barack Obama and President Bill Clinton together!! Wow - what a crowd draw. Yes, it has been somewhat hard for Bill Clinton. He really wanted it for Hilary. And he love being at the top.

I am proud that Obama and Clinton have come together. Time does have way of healing rgw soul.

Hope full rally will be televised. Excited to watch.

I truly admire that solidarity within the democratic party. And nothing makes me more proud than to see the former president Clinton standing side by side with our future commander in Chief Senator Obama. How exciting and sweet it will be the day when the democrats take control both Houses the Senate & Congress. There is no question, Obama is going to bring the best changes ever in American lives. He is real reformer who is going to shake up things and clean Washington. I hope McCain can stop lying to call himself a reformer after he voted 90% of the time with president Bush. Now, I have great faith in the American people that they will not be fooled again by McCain/Bush. This message is for McCain and his 25% supporters, the fact is most American simply don't trust you and that's why they all want to vote for Senator Obama. McCain, I urge you to go back home in Arizona and eat your barbecue ribs. And please, hockey mom give us a break and we are tired of listening to your craps. Case closed, we already made up our minds to go for Obama/Biden ticket. We got fooled twice and no more again. Enough is enough.

When did it become ok to support UNWED pregnancies, those of you who call yourself Republicans? What type of message are you sending our children? This is not ok with me. And trust me when I tell you I am (was) a very conservative republican until SHE came into the picture. John McCain had my vote, but I don't want my 14 year old daughter thinking this is acceptable nor the standard. Don't we have enough to deal with, let alone a VP who supports teenage, unwed, SINFUL sex?

"right now and a low hanging fruit to become unemployed, I am sorry to say that by voting for Obama/Biden you will just be voting for your unemployment."

golocks, it was under Republican "economics" that thousands and thousands of jobs were lost. If we continue under the same policies, then how are jobs going to be regained? Do you know why jobs were lost? Because the middle class has no money to stimulate the economy! When the middle class stops spending money, then large and small companies that sell goods and services do not have enough people to buy their goods and services and therefore, they must downsize because they are not selling their products to consumers. Ask yourself (well if you are middle-class, less than $250K) are you buying less that what you were about 5-6 years ago? Well if so, then that gives you a small glimpse of what happens when 90%+ of Americans who are middle class are not buying as much, and how this affects those companies that are letting people go. That is what is causing the joblessness in this country! Obama wants to turn that around by giving middle-class Americans a moderate tax cut to help them gain more confidence in spending money. And those people making over $250K will get a 3% increase per year which is about $7,000 for income right at $250K.

I have a real need to know why no one will discuss the issues instead of picking at each other like kids why don't they bring up McCain's moral character. It should be embarassing to look so stupid to only throw jabs when in reality we all need answers to our growing problems. Its bewildering to say the least.

“I think Senator Obama made it very clear where he stands on the issue of abortion,” said Dean. “This is a personal decision that the government does not have the right to make but,
If an alive baby outside the womb is still a "personal decision", then that should give me the right to eliminate anyone I so personally chose at any stage of life, since they have become an inconvenience?
Congressmen like these are an inconvenience.

Fifty bishops say US election is about abortion

Rocco Palmo 25 October 2008

A quarter of America's bishops have said that the most important issue for voters in the forthcoming presidential election is abortion - comments that may help boost the fortunes of Republican candidate John McCain.
Some 50 out of the nation's 197 active bishops have published articles or given interviews during the run-up up to the election urging abortion as the key issue on which voters should decide which way to vote.

Senator McCain opposes the 1973 Supreme Court ruling on Roe v. Wade, which legalised abortion in the US, but has refused - most recently, at last week's final television debate between the presidential candidates - to impose an abortion-based "litmus test" on his Supreme Court nominees. The Democratic candidate, Barack Obama, has repeatedly indicated his support for the 1973 ruling alongside a pledge to sign a proposed Freedom of Choice Act that would invalidate any state or local ordinance intended to "deny or interfere" with a woman's choice to have an abortion.

Among the bishops who have intervened is Bishop Robert Hermann of St Louis who last Friday wrote: "the issue of life is the most basic issue and must be given priority over the issue of the economy, the issue of war or any other issue." His comment came in a column for the archdiocesan newspaper that appeared hours before Mr Obama addressed 100,000 people in the heavily Catholic city.

In Missouri - a normally Republican state where Mr Obama has taken a lead in the polls over recent weeks - Bishop Robert Finn of Kansas City-St Joseph wrote in his diocesan newspaper that "despite hardship, beyond partisanship, for the sake of our eternal salvation", Catholic voters "should never" support a candidate who favours the continued legalisation of abortion.

In Colorado, Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver made national headlines after calling Mr Obama "the most committed abortion-rights presidential candidate of either major party since the Roe v. Wade abortion decision". Later that same day, saying that he was speaking solely as a "private citizen", Archbishop Chaput told a dinner for a Catholic women's organisation in his archdiocese that the assertion by his Catholic supporters "that Senator Obama is this year's ‘real' pro-life candidate requires a peculiar kind of self-hypnosis, or moral confusion, or worse".

But a growing group of clergy has sought to counter the abortion-dominant focus. Speaking to The Washington Post, Bishop Gabino Zavala, auxiliary in Los Angeles, said: "There are many other issues we need to bring up," and listed "racism, torture, genocide, immigration, war and the impact of the economic downturn on the most vulnerable among us".

Bishop Zavala's comments were echoed by Bishop Terry Steib of Memphis in Republican-dominated Tennessee, who wrote in his diocesan newspaper: "We cannot be a one-issue people." He continued: "I have received letters from well-meaning people telling me for whom I should vote and how I should inform parishioners regarding the candidates for whom they should or should not cast their ballot ... It is not my duty, nor is it my role."

In a heavily anticipated discussion, the bishops are to debate the gravity of political support for abortion at their next Baltimore plenary, a week after the 4 November vote.

The US bishops issued voter guidelines last year which were approved by 98 per cent of the bishops' conference. But the 30-page text has been seized upon by lay-led Catholic interests supporting both Mr Obama and Mr McCain. As Mr McCain's backers have sought to focus on the document's assertions that "intrinsic evils" such as abortion, euthanasia, embryonic stem-cell research and human cloning "must never be supported", Mr Obama's advocates emphasise passages that state Catholics "are not single-issue voters" and "should not use a candidate's opposition to an intrinsic evil to justify indifference or inattentiveness to other important moral issues involving human life and dignity".

Remember, many do not look upon Bill Clinton with kindness. perhaps there has been reticence on Clinton's part to campaign not just because of resentment and dislike (which is obviously there) but also because the Bill Clinton brand might not be popular with the long memories of some folks.

I want to thank those who will and are voting for Obama because they have their rights and can see the future of American people regaining respect in the world. If McCain is elected he will continue to impose some laws that shall hurt the American people in the world. American people were respected every where they went and the world was learning from American system of governments and education to which America is losing, the only way to face the world and say again that you are demonstrating freedom is by closing that fine line and embrace all American without discriminating and racialism and nepotism.
Let every American be an American no matter what color one has he or she is an American and God love them all just the same. Think about some one who is wearing clothes of $160.000 and yet is fighting for a poor person who is jobless?

Think of how some Americans are going to bed without food in their stomach and some one has millions in the bank?
Think someone is losing the family house because they can’t afford to pay their mortgage because they have no work or job, or it was overcharged I mean the house was not for the amount they were charged by the mortgage company the interest is high they can not renegotiate with the bank where do you think the affected American people turn to? Anyway, the American people have the answer in their hands if they make bad decision that will be their choice for the next five years therefore let us not make mistake as last election.

Think of those immigrants who are turned back to their countries where they have nothing to eat or clothe. While we are throwing tones of wasted food every day and waste clothes which some companies have turned to make millions of dollars and put them into their pockets without thinking of the people who are here and are looking for those clothes as the only way to have clothes on them. These clothes are being donated by American people to the American people who are less fortunate so that they can as well share and clothe themselves instead they are even being sold like new cloths to American who were to have those clothes for almost free. But today it’s a boom and work is impossible to get, where else do these people turn to? Obama is the answer to the poor, may God appoint him and cover him with his favor

President Clinton has not done anything above or beyond for Senator Obama. He made a one time show for him. His Rally was indeed successful but he holds a serious grudge. When Senator Obama is elected he will come thru for the American people even more than President Clinton did due to the economy crisis and the 2 ongoing wars. When President Clinton was elected he was not faced with multiple catastrophic issues like Senator Obama will have. In addition, our country has new issues in history to face and Senator Obama and Biden will have many things working at the same time. President Clinton's personal grudge will bite him back later if he's doing it to show his loyalty to Hillary. President Clinton has obviously made a choice here for political reasons. Four more years of the same Bush mentality rather than his loyalty to the American people. He wants both Bill and Hillary to make history as the first husband and wife who served as President of the United States. What he doesn't know... Would Hillary do a better job with the major problems we have. Bill never served under these extreme conditions. He has taken a pompous stand on this. That's selfish towards the American people and it should be a matter of "Country first" for President Clinton. The American people have no doubt Hillary will make a good President and she has our full support if she plans on returning in 2016 but now is now Bill Clinton. We have 2 wars and an economy that Bush and his administration threw under the bus. Where's your loyalty you once had for the American people. Again, Hillary Clinton will be our FIRST woman President of the United States. Our FIRST woman period. Let us not put a woman V.P. in the oval office just because.

OBAMA/BIDEN08

Luke, Thank you for your comments.
The tone on this string is disturbing - but reflects the sound bites as pushed by both compaigns.
But these sound bites seem to reveal the basic mind-set of the 2 alternatives:
On the one hand - FEAR of the "other" or, as referred to by both McCain & Palin "them". Fear of change, even though we know the status quo is deeply flawed; and fear that all our sins, of hatred and abuse, will come back to haunt us.
But on the other hand, I see Obama's message as unstintingly positive. His unwillingness to descend into personal defensiveness and his efforts to refocus on the issues time and again in the last debate, to me, are indicative of a very different mind-set than what is feared.
Here in the South, I hear constant rumblings of fear of "those people" being put in charge of us. These seeds fall on fertile ground in an atmosphere of all-encompassing fear of our current financial situation. I have not observed the arrogance that so many fear, but a wonderful pride of so many Americans feeling that they are truly American in every sense. Interestingly, Newt Gingrich also commented on this phenomenon.
I believe that Obama will do what he thinks will work for our country, not one group, and that he understands that we can only stand together or we will surely fail.
Obama's basic concept of "trickle up" seems to make so much sense. As I have understood my economics courses and as current events have supported, the multiplier effect of a $ in the hands on the middle class through jobs is much more powerful for our fundamental economy than putting another $ in the hands of the barons of Wall Street or even a "bail-out" that rewards avarice and stupidity and punishes prudence.
Forgive the length of this - got carried away.

The end is near... Cute...(early voting) Reason, adequate machines, count is honest, machine problems and other issues as a result of the million plus new registrations and voters.

Those who are voting for Obama/Biden are very short-sighted and are voting for the past. If you hate Bush and blame him on everything then you are just doing a protest vote. This is also not a personality contest if you are trying to compare them with McCain/Pailin...on who is cool. Substance matters. Look at the future where Obama/Biden and the Democrat super majority are going to take this country... to the ground. If you are employed right now and a low hanging fruit to become unemployed, I am sorry to say that by voting for Obama/Biden you will just be voting for your unemployment.

isn't good

Bush..oh Bush..it's free music to everyone :)

Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand. The same cannot be said of Sen. McCain.

Since his early acknowledgement that economic policy is not his strong suit, Sen. McCain has stumbled and fumbled badly in dealing with the accelerating crisis as it emerged. He declared that "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" at 9 a.m. one day and by 11 a.m. was describing an economy in crisis. He is both a longtime advocate of less market regulation and a supporter of the huge taxpayer-funded Wall Street bailout. His behavior in this crisis -- erratic is a kind description -- shows him to be ill-equipped to lead the essential effort of reining in a runaway financial system and setting an anxious nation on course to economic recovery.

IF YOUR REGISTERED TO VOTE. VOTE! DO NOT STAY HOME. VOTE!

TELL YOUR BOSS YOUR VOTING & WILL BE LATE!

VOTE! VOTE! VOTE !

what ever happened to voting being one day only (except for absentee ballots) Whats this about extended voting periods in some states. Was obama (the terrorist behind this) I'm surprised extended voting periods didn't happen when john kerry ( the dictator ) was running as the LIBERAL nominee on the ticket.

THE END IS NEAR
