McCain: 'Status Quo Is Not On the Ballot'

You know another funny thing about Obama...

His name. It's not American like Bill or John or Track.... It's foreign....

If he leads like his mother named him... foreign style... then we have a lot to be scared of.

I think we are making a huge mistake as a country if we don't vote for the tried and true policies of the GOP.

Nat Turner,

You know who else is from Chicago?

Al Capone...

Coincidence? I doubt it. I really doubt it.

Did you know that Barack Hussein Obama's shoe size? 13 and a half.

Thirteen is widely considered according to official numerological sources to be an evil number, suggesting that Obama is evil (plus a little more). Coincidence? I doubt it. I really doubt it.

I'mwithTHATONE,

What a great fundraiser McCain has sparked for Obama! He'll probably make a cool few millions!!!

They're selling out of the "That One" T-shirt. They're going for $25 bucks. I ordered three. Better get yours, they're going fast!!

If I were McCain or the RNC, I'd hang onto the Ayers thread a bit longer. We all know Bill was a terrorist 40 yrs ago. Obama says it predates his relationship...that he's a respected school reformer...yada, yada.

Ok - let's see some hard evidence. Obama and Ayers served on the CAC. What was the outcome of the effort? $100 million dollars was spent - are Chicago schools better off? What did they adopt from this undertaking?

Side question. If Ayers is such the skilled reformer and well-recognized as such in Chicago power circles (Mayor Daley certainly likes to praise him), why hasn't he been appointed to be superintendant of Chicago public schools?

Seems to me, this great reform thinker and activist has been past over by the very people who say he's a valuable member of the education community. It's like knowing Babe Ruth was a great hitter, but leaving him in the pitching rotation. You'd be a fool to let him bat every 3-4 days. (to be fair, Ruth was also a great pitcher...but you get my point).

"Common sense tells you that increasing taxes on businesses that employ people means that workers will be laid off to offset the increased taxes."

Which is why Obama is not going to increase corporate taxes. He is leaving the rate where it is.

He also plans to assist small business with health care tax credits and no capital gains on small business investment.

The ones who will see a tax increase are those people making $250K a year or greater.

Are you really going to argue that rich people are so selfish that they will fire people to maintain their lifestyle in the wake of a 4% tax increase on their income?

Blip,

Todd has already fallen on his sword.

Transcripts of his interview have been released.

He claims he talked to officials about why his brother in law was still employed but says he never pressured anyone. He also says his wife had no idea about it. Her aides have testified likewise about his involvement and her lack of involvement.

Guess this coordinated cover story is what they agreed was the best defense going forward which is why all aides & Todd came into talk at the same time after refusing to honor the subpoenas.

Needed that week to erase yahoo emails and get the stories straight down to a tee.

Is tomorrow the day that the Troopergate investigation will conclude?

The rumor is that Todd is going to say that he is responsible and that he kept his wife in the dark.

Bizarre.

JT, your bias is showing! Is it because GOP posters have articulate, thought out responses based in fact and record as opposed to rhetoric?

Lets see, since 19th Sept 2008 when Paulson began his chicken little "we have to pass this bail out or the world will end now!" alert, which did not happen. Until the crap sandwich of a bail out was passed on 3 Oct 2008. To this day they still keep telling us everyday that there are more bail outs to come, no one knows when it will stabilize, etc.

I think McCain offers a more rational plan in keeping the taxes lower for businesses so people will have jobs.

Not having a degree in economy (and even those guys cannot tell us what is going to happen with economy)

Common sense tells you that increasing taxes on businesses that employ people means that workers will be laid off to offset the increased taxes.

What would Todd Palin's role be at the Naval Observatory?

Will he sit in on meetings?

Will he use the power of his wife's office to demand action from other officials?

I would love to hear McCain's plans... but since he wants to turn the discussion to character... I would like to know about:

McCain's temper and use of medication.
McCain's link to convicted felon and terrorist supporter, Liddy.
Palin's link to Alaskan separtist militias.

I know about the Obama-Ayers relationship... it's been reported on widely for months now... and there's nothing there.

It really is McCain's turn to start answering questions about whether or not he is fit to lead.

In Obama's supposedly naive Pakistan policy news.

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan - Suspected U.S. missiles struck a Pakistani tribal region along the Afghan border on Thursday, intelligence officials said Thursday. Local sources told NBC News that nine people were killed.

They said civilians were among the dead, and the toll expected was to rise as victims were being taken to hospitals.

Two local Pakistani intelligence officials said the strike occurred in Tappi village in North Waziristan, a region considered a stronghold for al-Qaida and Taliban militants, the Associated Press reported.

The missile attack was carried out by by a pilotless drone and targeted a house owned by Faisal Mohammad Sultan, a tribesman sympathetic to the militants' cause, Reuters reported.

well my friends,
i don't think we really want to know the combo of meds sen. mccain has to take, just to keep going day by day.
I would rather know mr. mccain' views and what he will do for this country, and either agree or take issue with that
rather than talk about him the way he and palin have had to resort to talking about obama.

Ryan... Hanna doesn't really care what Jesse Jackson says or believes.

What does Jackson have in common with Obama and Farrakhan?

I wonder... what do these three men have in common... that Hanna would fear them so?

Hmmm.... Well... I suppose we'll never know.

Blip, every rally will have its partisans and they tend to be more rabid.

The difference is the right wing and McCain campaign have been actively encouraging this behavior.

They know they are going to lose and they are trying to divide this country as much as possible so solutions and compromises are made extremely difficult.

They do not care about this country, only themselves.

I saw a great video at Radar which has interviews with McCain-Palin supporters. It is really eye-opening. They actually BELIEVE that Obama is a terrorist. And when asked why, they don't really know. One does talk about his bloodlines. Another talks about how when he was 1 year old he was in Indonesia.

It's really sad that so many people walk around in a bubble of ignorance. No wonder the country is going down the tubes. It's like that movie Idiocracy.

Hanna you mean Jesse Jackson the close friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton?

Are you really putting Jesse Jackson in league with Louis Farrakan?

Hanna doesn't understand the difference between registering to vote and voting.

Of course McCain says nasty things about Obama behind his back.

He's too much of a coward to say it to his face.

I guess Sharpton, Jessie J, Wright and Farrakhan all got the memo....don't leave your house till AFTER the election.

Just saw a great town hall in WI (you know those things Obama just can't do...take any questions from the audience) and a black guy in the front row asked Sen. McCain when is he going to take the gloves off and ask Obama about his offensive associations with several people. It was great, the crowd cheered and jumped to their feet in agreement. What bravery that young black man has.
Why hasn't Axlerod called off the ACORN voter fraud business? His guy looks real bad with his old ties to this organization....and I'm surprised Axlerod doesn't say Knock it off! They are registering cats and dogs and Christopher Barkley 15 TIMES....he was on TV this morning, this poor black guy acting as if he didn't know AMERICANS ONLY VOTE ONCE. What a joke.

Everybody knows that the smears are baseless....

They were rolled months ago. They were debunked.

The only thing that has changed is that McCain has fallen in the polls.

Of course McCain cannot look Obama in the eye and repeat these lies.... He knows he's wrong.
