Political Punch

where did obamas money come from ???????????

I can not believe that with only one more week left in this election, the Obama camp is still sending out emails asking for money. They are just greedy if you ask me. By the time this is over he will have gotten and almost spent close to 3/4 of a billion dollars. And they're still asking?

PLEASE LOARD ! HEAR MY PRAYERS AND LET THE AMERICAN HERO, THE MAN WITH EXPERIENCE, THE RIGHT MAN, JOHN MC CAIN WIM !!! THANK YOU GOD.....AMEN

The New York Times reports some of that $150,000,000 donated to Obama in September came from fake donors. Maybe some of that Arab oil money being re-invested? At least in the past elections were bought by Americans who had an interest in their own country’s stability.

Palin took the celebrity status aways from him (B O ) and he's trying to regain it back.

Which is why he slams her so hard.... only through his supporters, of course;

He keeps himself clear of his dirty politics with his repelling teflon vest.!

(You remember "The Picture of Dorian Gray"???????)

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Crowd estimates for Palin were 25,000 to 30,000 in Lady Lake.

Crowd estimates for Obama in St. Louis and Kansas City were 100,000 and 75,000 respectively.

Obama's raking in the dough from all his ties overseas. That's admirable. ; )

"She did not have fraud signatures on her list but that's his underhanded way of getting what he wants. I don't know why the courts allowed it"

She had fraudulent signatures because she had to rush to get herself on the ballot. She left her State Senate seat to run in a special election and was shocked when she lost. They then had to scramble to get enough signatures to get enough signatures. Obama challenged the signatures, some proved fraudulent and were rejected. In the end she did not have enough signatures to be on the ballot.

Ryan C: You are wrong as usual about Alice J. Palmer. She was in politics before Obama ever thought about it. She did not have fraud signatures on her list but that's his underhanded way of getting what he wants. I don't know why the courts allowed it. I saw the whole episode on TV. Alan Keyes than ran against him and lost. Obama is the worst of the worst candidate for office of this country.

Ryan C: Absolutely not. The media stated that Palin had about 60,000 in Lady Lake Florida and not inflated by the police or fire department. Obama never had a big crowd since Oprah rented that space to put a big show on for Obama. The media states that Palin is a drawing card for McCain and just had at least 20,000 at a previous rally. Biden is lucky to draw six thousand. Obama's crowd is always inflated to make the public believe he is a drawing card. But when I see the crown on TV, not so. He wishes he was. Palin took the celebrity status aways from him and he's trying to regain it back.

Money doesn't get you elected, voters do. Obama can be a trillionaire and still not get elected. McCain doesn't need to spend a lot of money on Ads because he is well known throughout. He can save that money. Let Obama spend it all. Obama doesn't have to raise taxes at all. The more you make the more tax you pay. What is it that Obama can't figure out. I would pay lesser tax on an income of $40,000 per year than a person making $75,000 per year. Why raise taxes at all. Leave the tax as it is and don't raise the taxes at all. Also what they need to do is have Medicare lower their deduction from 98.00 per month to 75.00 per month and make that the standard deduction to accomodate the people on social security. There is nothing wrong with the economy. People make their own mistakes by wrong decisions along with the banks and lending institutions. Foreclosures are not always the banks fault. Young people decide they want a condo or house, put 5% down, live in it for one year then decide they don't want it give it back to the bank and rent again leaving the bank with a total loss unless they can sell the property over again.

Cooday, its not a coincidence that the economic downturn occurred just as the Democrats were taking control of Congress. In case you forgot, the Republicans had control of Congress during the last 6 years of President Clinton's Administration. The surplus was the result of the Republicans. The last time that the Democrats had control of the White House and both Houses of Congress they RAISED taxes. THAT is what will happen again should they gain control of the White House.

"I don't think he had 100,000 but maybe close to 35,000."

Obama had 100,000 people show up in St. Louis and 75,000 show up in

He just had another 30,000 at his rally in North Carolina.

Those are police and fire estimates, not the campaigns.

"From what I understand Palin had 60,000 people three weeks ago in Lady Lake, FL."

That was a lie by the McCain campaign disputed by fire & police officials.

Of course the funny thing is McCain doesn;t attract nearly as big a crowd as Palin and he's the top of the ticket whereas the situation for the Democrats is the norm where the top of the ticket gets the big crowds while the VP gets smaller crowds.

The lesson as always? Right wingers lie.

Jake the American voters are Drowning in the McCain/Bush policies to the tune of 11 trillion dollars.

As of this morning the U.S. National Debt Clock is now at $10,473.640.935.704.38. The $700 billion government bailout for Wall Street pushed this over 11 trillion dollars. So since Bush took office 8 years ago America is gone from a budget surplus to every citizen's share of the debt at over 35,000 dollars. Trillion is now the new billion. Just a few weeks ago McCain said the economy was sound. Just going to the store where the food prices have jumped with some of the basics like cooking oil doubling in cost resonates with more voters then the McCain/Bush/Schmidt/Rove spin for the last 12 days of this election. Now Bush has left a mess that will take years to clean up. But we all know that after the 2008 election, the Republicans will start to run for the next elections in 2010 and 2012. Shouldn't they be held accountable until this mess they left us is cleaned up? Since the 2006 elections we have seen the Republicans as a minority in both the Senate and the Congress stop major bills. After the elections the government will still be divided between both parties. Its clear that the Obama/Biden ticket can work across party lines to end the gridlock in Washington DC. We haven't seen nothing yet when it comes to the cost of future elections. But then I just came back from the store and the food prices are a shock to me Jake. Do Americans trust Obama with one house and his wife who wears a H&M dress for $34.95 or McCain with 7 houses and Palin with a $225,000 wardrobe. We will know soon Jake.

conf1689: Many of the people at Obama's rallies are his supporters from offices in the state he is campaigning. Plus you might see senior's coming out just to hear him talk because they have nothing else to do. In St. Louis where the majority is black, they came out. I don't think he had 100,000 but maybe close to 35,000. The media has a way of adding people to a picture on the internet that doesn't exist in reality. From what I understand Palin had 60,000 people three weeks ago in Lady Lake, FL. Now that's a big crowd. Biden is lucky to get six thousand.

Jennifer: You are right. And I listen to a woman on Fox yesterday, republican, forget her name but was she telling Chris Matthews from MSNBC which way to go in no uncertain words. I am so glad that someone told him off. He was very biased that's why MSNBC booted him from early time to later time. I would love to hear that again. He didn't know what to say. And the people that were agreeing with Ayers, taking a vote, were mainly professor's not the public. Obama won that senate seat by crooked voting and playing dirty pool to the woman getting signatures to run against him. Her name is Alice J. Palmer. This was played on TV months ago. He took her to court claiming fake signatures. Now, how could he say that when he didn't see her list. He is the most underhanded candidate that ever ran for office of this country. And I believe he would make deals with the enemies if he could to make it look like he is the greatest to the public.

Here's an example of "democratic" financial responsibility:

WHO screwed up Social Security??

When Social Security began the "democrats" SAID:

Participation would be VOLUNTARY.

The contributions would be TAX-DEDUCTIBLE.

The funds wouldn't be used for anything ELSE, and

interest would ADD to the account.

The payouts would NEVER BE TAXED.

LBJ & demo majorities in the House and Senate put the

funds in the General Fund so they could use it for

their pet projects (PORK), no interest adds to the

fund now!

CARTER & demo majorities in the House and Senate

gave Social Security to immigrants who had never

PAID IN!

CLINTON & demo majorities in the House and Senate

made the CONTRIBUTIONS taxable, AND made the

PAYOUTS taxable! (Al Gore cast the deciding vote on

the payouts!)

OBAMA wants to GIVE Social Security to the 11 million

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS that are here, ALONG WITH

Medicare! (Think more or them will come then to get

in on THAT?) AND, with demo majorities in the House

and Senate, he'll SUCCEED!

AND, after all THAT, the "democrats" have the GALL to

blame Republicans for the mess Social Security is in!

voter in PA: So you can't wait until its over. Well, Obama better get trible security for himself because if not it will be over Are you aware of the fact that three men wanted to shoot him in the last several months. One across from his home in Hyde Park. Right now he is not the president. And Al Qaeda does not like Obama. You better keep up with the news. Al Qaeda likes McCain. Hamas will talk to Obama because he knows someone in that organization who had dinner at his house years ago. We don't want another terrorist attack with Obama elected as president or a riot.

A Florida billionaire and top fund-raiser for John McCain has been accused of “a reprehensible form of war profiteering” by the chairman of a Congressional investigative committee.

Rep. Henry Waxman, head of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, contends a company co-owned by Harry Sargeant III overcharged the Pentagon over $180 million to deliver fuel to U.S. military bases in Iraq.

The Washington Post profiles a McCain bundler, and the paper seems to imply he might have reimbursed donors. The bundler is Harry Sargeant, a defense contractor. "Some of the most prolific givers in Sargeant's network live in modest homes in Southern California's Inland Empire. Most had never given a political contribution before being contacted by Sargeant or his associates. Most said they have never voiced much interest in politics. And in several instances, they had never registered to vote. And yet, records show, some families have ponied up as much as $18,400 for various candidates between December and March.

Both Sargeant and the donors were vague when asked to explain how Sargeant persuaded them to give away so much money. ‘I have a lot of Arab business partners. I do a lot of business in the Middle East. I've got a lot of friends,’ Sargeant said in a telephone interview yesterday. ‘I ask my friends to support candidates that I think are worthy of supporting. They usually come through for me.’ Sargeant's business relationships, and the work they perform together, occur away from the public eye. His firm, International Oil Trading Co. (IOTC), holds several lucrative contracts with the Defense Department to carry fuel to the U.S. military in Iraq."
