Political Punch

Sorry, you aren't scaring me by listing a bunch of penniless fringe activists and calling them Obama's pals. I'm too busy worrying about The Carlyle Group, PNAC, TRW, Freddie Mac and Halliburton, actual powerful groups with a bad agenda that all have direct ties to McCain. BOO!

There is no better country than the United States of America. In America we are afford many rights and freedoms that other countries do not have. Our country was made great by great men who loved our country and wanted the best for it, not to promote oneself. In concerns me though that our great nation has citizens that refuse to see what is at stake for our country in the coming months. People this is not about taking sides for your favorite football team. This is our lives, our childrens lives, our future, the working democracy of our country. You must look at the big picture. You must look at facts! The facts are, when a vote is cast for Barack Obama, a vote is being cast for all these people connected to Obama. Can you take that chance? If just one tenth of what you hear about him is true, can you chance it? A vote for Obama means that the great country for which we live and all countries are envious of, will be no more! It will be a socialist country like Russia and France! Too many facts, too many controversies attached to this man! Think of what you felt on September 11th. Remember those people who lived amongst us, with all these ties, they lived and worked amongst Americans, pretending they loved our country, but plotting to overturn and kill everything we are about! Do you want to take that chance with Obama. Not enough is known about him, but what is, is that radical, hate-filled people have been in his life at some point. Some of these people helped get him on his feet and helped jump-start his career, and you think he will not owe them anything! America, please wake up! We must not treat this lightly. As a parent, one thing we tell our children, and our parents told us, "watch who you hang with, they will influence you," or "you are who you surround yourself with!" Ever heard those growing up, have you ever told your child this? Can Obama be different than anyone else in this world, just because you like the way he speaks? He has been influenced! Even when you look at countries and leaders that HATE America, their pick for our President is Barack Obama! Is this not frightening! Look at Hollywood, they have no idea how you struggle in your everyday life to make ends meet and bring up your family. All they want is a society that has no moral code, no accountabilty, so they can continue their corrupt way of life, and you a working individual want to alighn yourselve with such as this? Wake up! Even in the economy, Obama doesn't want to impower people to do for themselves. He wishes to take from you what you have worked for and give it to those who will not work! He wants bigger government! At this point can you even trust any government? The more we do for ourselves, the more we accomplish for ourselves, the more impowered we are. GIVING things away, only makes us dependent, and keeps us beaten down not to climb out for ourselves. The media will never tell you the truth about Obama, so impower yourselves and please for the good of your children, your life, your freedoms you hold because of our great forefathers, you must research for yourself and find our these facts. And pray about it, that you will be led to make the right decision. It will be the most important election you will ever vote in.

palin is a disaster.. not just waiting to happen but unraveling before our very eyes.. McCain is so out of touch with anything but war he is clueless what to do about ANYTHING... EVEN the war!... incompetance cheapr by the Dozen should be their campaign slogan (you know.. add 4 years onto 8)... or how bout.. Stupidity... not just for GW Bush anymore...

Actually the race card is playing quite well for Sen. Obama. Not only is any criticism of him being touted as being racist it has become whoever doesn't vote for Sen. Obama is a racist. THAT plays on white guilt which is huge! There are millions of white Americans who apparently believe that voting for Sen. Obama will somehow cleanse America's history of slavery and discrimination.

The truth is that a vote for Sen. Obama is a vote FOR Frank Marshall Davis.

A vote for Sen. Obama is a vote FOR Saul Alinsky.

A vote for Sen. Obama is a vote FOR the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.

A vote for Sen. Obama is a vote FOR Father Michael Pfleger.

A vote for Sen. Obama is a vote FOR Tony Rezko.

A vote for Sen. Obama is a vote FOR Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohm Ayers.

A vote AGAINST Sen. Obama is a vote AGAINST ALL of the above.

On what planet does playing "the race card" work to Obama's advantage? Republicans have been playing "the race card" for over forty years. I think it's a sign of extraordinary progress that they're now condemning it so fervently.

Brooklyn Democrat, I notice that you didn't deny the message. Sen. Obama maybe be portraying himself as a middle of the road Democrat. But he makes Michael Dukakis, Walter Mondale and Jimmie Carter look like, as you would call it, "neo-cons."

James -

You mean Stanley Kurtz of the Hudson Institute? The "neo-con" think tank (now there's an oxymoron) whose members have included Richard Perle, Dan Quayle, "Scooter" Libby, and Robert Bork?

What's Wrong With America?

My question is this:

If McCain really has experience, what is it exactly? Why hasn't he consistently been running on his experience to really secure the votes for presidency? Why hasn't he really explained is "reform" in government that he is proposing? What areas of the government will he actually reform and on what timeline? How much will it cost the taxpayers? Why does he continue to come up with different ideas about how to fix the financial crisis without providing a succinct plan of action along with costs? Why did he say he really didn't understand economics yet continues to make attempts at solving a problem he doesn't really understand? If he's not a racist, why does he allow his running mate Palin to condone racist comments at rallies and on t.v? If he's such a "maverick" why did he wait until now to really affect change? What change did he really accomplish in the economy, in energy policy, in foreign policies, in saving the middle class money or stimulate the economy?

None of the questions have really been answered. McCain is dangerous. Maverick is code for maniac. Palin is sabotaging McCain's candidacy so she can run in 2012. She's looking to grab her base now so she can run against Hillary in 2012.

This is very dangerous. McCain doesn't care about the country, McCain cares about McCain.

jamarier, no problem.

You should look up two of Stanley Kurtz's articles, "Inside Obama's ACORN," and "O's Dangerous Pals."

we need to vote for change in this election.. go obama 08! we need to give this young man a chance to change the country.and if he cant deliver, believe me he will be out of there in 4 years. by now we have nothing to lose and everything to gain. fresh ideas. fresh policies that work for the middle class and not just the rich unlike mccain.
GO OBAMA!

All Mccain is doing right now is throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. he can't talk about the issues because his party has been dead wrong on pretty much all of them for the last 8 years. so they offer distractions and make up lies about obama to distract people and get their focus off the economy. its not going to work this time. not in this election. we need change so desperately and 4 more years or god forbid 8 if mccain is reelected of bush policies would leave our country in ruins. anyone who cares about the future of the country would vote for change. obama and joe biden all the way.

some people by nature are fearful of change...no matter how bad, such as the economy, the situation is...racism, sadly, is still alive and well in this country even among the news media...i find it appaling the racist rhetoric that was spewed from the mccain/palin campaign this past week...palin's statement that obama is somehow 'palling around with terrorist' was outrageous!!! 'it's not good for the country'...my question is if ayers is such a terrorist why is he instructing education at the university of illinois? why is the fbi, cia, all over governmental agencies...letting this 'dangerous terrorist' run free in the country...his students that he teaches every day...because they are 'associated' with ayers...does that make them 'terrorists' to? not only should she be investigated in troopergate,,where she abused her power...she and her husband should be investigated in memberships or 'associations' with the alaskan international party...they wanted to secede from the united states...i would consider these goals very dangerous to the country...not only is that unpatriotic but again...it's questionable grounds of treason.

i wouldn't fret over ohio...they lead the nation in unemployment and are in the top 5 in the nation for foreclosure rates...if they want another 4 years of bush policies...i say let them have it...there is a lot of hatred brewing over color...this isn't surprising to most democrats...ignorance is ignorance..it is what it is...keep in mind a lot of these polls are misleading...check basis from the surverys...i mean if i'm polling a predominately republican neighborhood...then yes...my results would not be scientific...people should just keep in mind...by not voting for obama...YOU ARE NOT HURTING HIM...he can back away from the senate and still have a very lucrative career...and i guarantee...his job wouldn't be outsourced!!!

Sorry James Danley - I apologize - that comment was for another site. Sorry.
However, I don't believe ACORN or Obama's association with them caused our current situation either. ACORN fought for middle and low income loans for people in the 1990's. This does not mean ALL that benefited from ACORN's efforts defaulted on their loans. We would have seen many foreclosures long before now. ACORN also fought for education reform in inner cities and yes, political reforms. But to blame Obama and them for this mess - no, I don't think so.

I am utterly offended that the rich continue to seek tax breaks - and have the gall to keep asking for more. They have been the entitled for quite some time. Of course... they would have you believe that what they save in tax breks will trickle down to us in the middle class. Nothing has trickled down... only OUT of this country. Jobs and investment of goods. Thank you to that top 5%. NOT.

jamarier, so you compare refusing to provide language assistance to being complicit in the stock market crash and the loss of at least $2 trillion dollars -- just in the U. S.; and trillions more world wide?

"My friends..." gag me with a spoon!!!

Does crahing or losing 4 planes before having one shot down in a war that we didn't win really make someone a war hero. If it does I think I could do that. I don't deny he was a soldier in veitnem but a HERO. I don't know if I would go that far. The only way he is a MAVERICK is because he is a self procaimed one. In that case I'm the King of the United States there I said it so it must be true. Now bow to me my loyal subjects. Why is nobody bowing could it be that just be cause you say you are something that doesn't make it true.

We Buckeyes like war heros who speak straight like McCain!

..............If this is true then "you Buckeye" aren't all that bright. To steal a phrase from history "if John McCain ever found himself telling the truth he'd tell a lie just to keep his hand in". He has lost all integrity in this campaign and his character was seen when he dumped his first wife and then was instrumental in causing the Silverado bailout. He;ll probably win Ohio though....The Florida of 2004

Sen. Obama is up to his eyeballs in this subprime flexible mortgage rate crisis and the devaluation of your 401K.

Since the early 1990s ACORN used intimidation and extortion to force the banks to provide subprime flexible mortgages to individuals who could not afford the loans. Well back in the early 1990s, Sen. Obama conducted leadership-training seminars for ACORN's organizers. Is that just a coincidence, or did Sen. Obama's training include how to intimidate and extort the lending institutions?

ACORN is being investigated in several states for voter registration fraud. And we now learn that Sen. Obama used to be the executive director of the voter registration arm of the Chicago branch of ACORN. Another coincidence?
