Obama: McCain's Tactics ‘Getting So Bad’ Even Palin's Denouncing Them

Ryan C God bless my sons friend who joined the navy two years ago he is coming home from Guantanamo Bay for a leave and he is voting for McCain. Is Guantanimo Bay considered overseas donations for Obama in your money count?

The report also shows that Mr. Obama also is ahead of Mr. McCain in military donors with overseas addresses, both those working for the Department of Defense as well as members of the uniformed services. A total of $74,650 came in for Mr. Obama from those posted overseas to $16,600 for Mr. McCain.

Thanks. I like to stay informed. I was refering to the oversees donations, but didn't spell that out. I hadn't seen the numbers on the overall, which still favor Obama. The basic point was counter to the arguement that McCAIN gets more support from the Military. I don't believe that is the case.

Form over substance. Too bad that seems to be your game. Explains a lot about Obama's supporters.

Where's your OUTRAGE, Susan, over McCain being a keynote speaker at ACORN in 2006?

Where's your OUTRAGE, Susan, at Sarah Palin's husband's membership in the Alaska Independence Party and her support of same?

Where's your OUTRAGE, Susan, at McCain's pallin' around with convicted domestic terrorist G. Gorden Liddy?

Where's the OUTRAGE, Susan?

Let's hear all about it.

As far as ACORN is concerned, let's hear all about the McCain supporters' outrage that McCain was a keynote speaker at ACORN in 2006. Let the republican outrage begin!

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!

RyanC - Form over substance. Too bad that seems to be your game. Explains a lot about Obama's supporters.

I'm curious to hear from the McCain supporters here about (1) John McCain pallin' around with convicted domestic terrorist G. Gordon Liddy, and (2) Sarah Palin's husband's membership in the Alaska Independence Party, and Sarah Palin's support of same. Since you all seem to be so outraged at Obama's republican arranged meeting with Ayers (Annenbergs, friends of Reagan and republicans, conducted the meeting Obama met Ayers at), you must be equally outraged by McCain's and Palin's relationships with domestic terrorists. Go on now, tell us about your outrage. No outrage for this? Then you're full of it. What a shocker.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!

Ryan C Statistics can be off beacuse there are probably alot of military who have not given any money thus you don't have all the facts. I am sure there are plenty of military who have chosen not to donate money, but will show there support in the voting booth. The good old fashioned way before it became money is what wins elections. Never more so then this one. So hold onto your scientific statistics. We shall see November 4th. But believe my husband is quite often wrong and he only works at one base so you may be safe yet. Don't hyperventilate over it.

Vetfor Obama Are you denouncing the Navy as an important part of the military? I am sure your naval vets won't be to happy to see you don't appreciate they to have fought for our country. Thank-you for your service and all who have served and are serving now.

No, and I'm sorry if it came out that way. I think it is a good thing that the Navy would want to support one of there own. I just think if any branch of the Military would support McCAIN it would be the Navy. I think the other branches are reluctant to stray from a fellow soldier, but I think they have and will continue to do so if they examine his record.

1st: I don't believe that 40% of the people ACORN registered were Republicans. 2nd: I am not at all certain that because Obama is "peace-loving" he will not have to make a decision to go to war. If we are attacked as we were on 9/11, you don't think Obama will go after the people who do that? If he is a pacifist, Americans need to know that. He does take an oath of office you know. He already said he'd go into Pakistan without their permission if he felt it necessary.

"Obama didn't raise all his money just from Americans. (People from all around the world can give money.)

Foreigners cannot donate to elections.

People who are citizens living aboard or military personnel stationed abroad can donate though.

For example:

The report also shows that Mr. Obama also is ahead of Mr. McCain in military donors with overseas addresses, both those working for the Department of Defense as well as members of the uniformed services. A total of $74,650 came in for Mr. Obama from those posted overseas to $16,600 for Mr. McCain.

"Don't know why your statistics are off"

Probably because they are scientific vs "my husband told me".

Nearly everyone I know is an Obama supporter. Should I assume uniform support for Obama based on that?

Ryan C Not according to the the boots on the ground where my husband works. Sorry, but these are the guys he knows and associates with, not the brass. And he has told me who they have shown their support for. McCain because they know he supports them. Don't know why your statistics are off. May-be its not all about the money.

Obama didn't raise all his money just from Americans. (People from all around the world can give money.) In fact, we don't know who has paid under $200 as Obama hasn't released the information. All I know is that because I supported Hillary and Richardson before her, I get mail and email from Obama at least twice a week. He is spending everything he is raising to raise more money.

vetsforObama,

elizabeth My husband works at a Naval base and they're voting for McCain. Actually he seems pretty confident McCain is going to win. The military knows who supports them and that is McCain.

Go figure a Naval Base would support McCAIN. Well, overall Obama has more support from the military. He has recieved 6 times the donations from the military as McCAIN. McCAIN's record among veterans groups is appalling. In fact go to votevet.org OR vetsforobama.org

Courtesy of Veterans for Common Sense:

"A cursory dig through John McCain’s voting record begs the question: how can the same man who served so honorably as a soldier serve soldiers so dishonorably? How can we point to his experience in North Vietnam as the mold which forged his character, when the character that it forged voted against the interests of his fellow veterans time and time again?"

How bad do you have to be to get PALIN to denounce your tactics? Pretty bad. Better question, how bad do you have to be to pick PALIN in the first place?

"Do you deny that ACORN's efforts have been for the benefit Obama."

Registering new voters only benefits Obama? You do know that 40% of ACORN;s registered voters were Republicans don;t you?

"Do you deny that Obama has worked closely with ACORN or represented them as a lawyer?"

Worked closely? He gave 2 training seminars at an hour a piece ten years ago. He also was part of a lawsuit by ACORN joined by the DOJ regarding Motor Voter laws in IL. That was also 10 years ago.

"Do you deny that Obama's campaign has given $800,000 to an organization which works with ACORN to help in getting out the vote?"

Citizen Services was paid to go canvassing (ie: gauge voter perception) this spring for the primaries.

They have not been used for the general election.
