Political Punch

As I've stated before, I really don't care who our next President will be although I do have a preference. My only real concern is that they do an honorable job and do things here to look after the people living here in these United States. There is a reason that my Mother (R.I.P. mom) and Father moved here from Germany in 1963.

I know that we're all very passionate as election day nears but you need only have been paying attention as to how each individual camp has been handling itself as they campaign from state to state and one man has stood out while leading more with his calm and composure, and that for me speaks volumes!

The deregulation legislation of Phil Graham, former GOP senator from Texas, is DIRECTLY responsible for the current economic/financial catastrophe.

Why are the ignorant and/or desperate and/or greedy people who took advantage of the system blamed while the very person who was the architect of that system is not even so much as mentioned by the GOP and their media minions?

Isn't Phil Graham the economic advisor who told John McCain that our economy fundamentals "are sound" when they clearly were not?

I don't want people like McCain and Graham, who are clearly out of touch with economic/financial reality, to have control of the world's most important financial market.

How bad does the economy have to be before McCain supporters begin to honestly assess the disastrous economic policies of the GOP and put the blame where it really belongs?

The whole bail out,including the McCain proposal, is a blatantly cynical plan by Geo Bush-Karl Rove-Phil Gramm _ John McCain,et al to steal one trillion US tax dollars before being kicked out of office.

To consider voting the Republican ticket a person would need to be a catatonic masicist, which should disqualify them from voting

IT WAS A PERFECT STORM OF BAD JUDGEMENT, GREED AND IRRESPONSIBLITY THAT CREATED THIS ECONOMIC MESS.

And the players are:

Obama, pelosi, reid and Acorn pushed to relaxed lending rules for low income borrowers to buy bigger houses then they can afford. The bad judgement was too enticing for anyone to resist….the wild buying drove prices up!

Banks got greedy and went along with the relaxed and risky loans thinking fannie and freddie will back the morgages and the Dems that promoted the lending will insure their risks.

Borrowers went wild and shelf their responsibilites while betting for great equity returns.

All were wrong! thus created this massive economic mess.

All these players bad judgement, greed and irresponsibility combined took hostage of the US economy. The tax payers was then forced to pay the ransom.

I guess you didn't hear about Mccain new Mortage proposal this week.The proposal it order the Treasury Secratery to use $300 billions to bail out homes that are in foreclosure,putting the taxpayer to paid the total loan on the property. For example if the home is worth $150 thousand dollars and loan amount is $200 hundren thousand,then taxpayers would have to pay the lender's loan for the property to be tranfered to the goverment This burden should not be on the taxpayers but lenders. According to your statement it appears to me that lenders and homeowners that obtained this sub-prime loan should not get a bail out from the goverment. Like I said this is Mccain's proposal. I'm confuse is Mccain a democrat? You don't make any sense, I guess you are voting for Mccain that wants the taxpayer to bail out basicly the lenders. You can't have it both ways. Maybe thats why Rick
Davis Fannie Mae lobbist is working for Mccain camp because Mr.Davis wants Mccain to allow the lenders or investor to get all their money back from these sub prime loans.

I’m concern, not about the terrorism, I leave that to the FBI. I’m really concern about the other revolution that we are starting to see in America: EDUCATION.
If Ayers is a very smart person and an “educator reformer”, and Obama is a very smart person and becomes president. How would I know he is not going to put him in the Cabinet as Minister of Education…Then that’s it. Good bye Capitalism! Welcome Socialism!
That is a real BOMB!
God bless America! and I hope it still is the Land of the free past 2009

MCCain has had his share of associations too - but he has been in Washington for 26 years and so people have come to accept his associations - guilty as they may have been.
Obama is new in the public eye - so even his smallest interaction with people with a dubious past is considered a mark against him.
The difference between these people and me is that I believe Obama.
I have been in churches and have known pastors to preach things I typically didn't agree with.
I have been on boards that come together for a cause, and have not known the history of a several people on the board.
In social gatherings I have interacted with people who are known to be corrupt.
But I am my own person and have my own values.
Obama is his own person- he has the potential, the intellect and the temperament.
Do I expect him to 'lead us to the promised land' NO! but he is CHANGE!

In a post LISA stated: "THANK YOU DR JOHN. GLAD SOME PEOPLE TELL THE TRUTH.
Certainly NOT the media, nor the brainwashed Republican haters. They would vote for OJ Simpson if it meant they could defeat the Republicans. What a "narrowminded attitude". With that thinking, they will just go from "bad to destruction".

Sorry to have to tell you Lisa, but we ALREADY DID! His name was George W. Bush and we even went so far as to elect a TOTALLY CONTROLLED REPUBLICAN CONGRESS THAT OVER THE FIRST SIX YEARS OF COWBOY BUSH'S TERM ALL BUT DESTROYED OUR BELOVED UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!! DO YOU REALLY THINK WE ARE SO STUPID THAT WE WILL REPEAT THAT SAME MISTAKE WITH MCCAIN AND PALIN? NO WAY, NO HOW NO MCCAIN-PALIN!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama will be the best President since Bill Clinton..Common the G.O.P. knows we do a better job.. They will not say it out loud... I believe that the last 30yrs.The G.O.P.led all of us into dispair.. And you know what? They don't give a dam_... greg

It's funny....
The Republicans blame the Democrats....
The Democrats blame the Republicans....

Yet, no one wants to take any of the responsibility.

We're a pathetic nation if we can't sit down regardless of what party we belong too and try to get ourselves out of this mess that we're in. It will always be like this and regardless of who becomes President they will spend all of their time dealing with this crap. I really hate to inform all of you, should you want to choose to do some research and dig deep into the pasts of either one of the candidates I can almost guarantee you're going to find ties that either party can use against each other. Case in point, what we found out about Troopergate yesterday. Who gives a rats ass, yet the McCain camp came out and blamed the Democrats for running a partisan investigation and that they over reached in their conclusion. Hate to tell you this, there were ten Republicans and four Democrats on the panel. If anyone is to blame it's the Republicans....who cares.

I would love to see the two parties come together, pull their heads out of their collective asses and work for our common good for a change, not theirs! Something else we need to do once and for all....get religion out of the mix. Why does it matter if you're a Christian, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslin, Atheist, Buddhist? The list goes on and on. Why does it matter or even has to come up that one God is better than someone else's God? Shouldn't it just be good enough that we worship a God regardless of who's God it is? Conflicts have been started over religion and continue to this day which have lasted much longer than we have been the United States.

I for one cannot wait until this election is over with and regardless of all the pissing and moaning afterwards, the majority of us won't even see a difference!

Take this racist GPO Every time McCain/Palin Speaks Obama goes points ahead in polls.It Doesn't matter Obama will be President by landslide.Nothing good comes out of lies and hate as long as you trust in god with insane McCain/palin doesn't .Those two are evil McCain has more criminal past than Obama Who is Sarah palin

Palin and McCain have yet to present proof of their allegations and charges. Proof that would hold up in a court of law. Palin and McCain have succeeded in creating a mob mentality demonstrated at their rally, of hatred, anger, mis-information. Palin and McCain have lost control of their supporters by their repeated inflammatory charges against Obama. There may very well be violence in the streets, killing, rioting. We can all thank Palin and McCain should that scenario take place in the coming months. Palin and McCain have been and are reckless. The Nation is becoming more and more divided, even within families. We should all prepare for violence in the streets. It could happen.

McCain's the biggest Flip-Flopper these days.. One minute he's calling Obama a terrorist next a decent man.. Make up your mind McCain.. If this is how you run your campaign, I truly hope, Not, to see you running this Great Nation as President..

REPUBLICANS SCREW UP EVERYTHING, AS USUAL.. NOW IT'S UP TO DEMOCRATS TO CORRECT WHAT'S WRONG AND GET THIS GREAT COUNTRY BACK ON TRACK, LIKE ALWAYS..

OBAMA/BIDEN - THE CHANGE WE TRULY NEED

The GOP campaign rallies are racist, divisive and filled with pure Hate..

Hatemongers and Abusers of Power should Never be in a Position of Power because it breeds power hungry control freaks like Hitler and other dim-witted groups

NO MCCAIN
NO PALIN
NOT EVER

It's obvious that poll numbers are driving the McCain/Palin campaign to change the focus of the American people from the economy to character assults. The Bush peole did the same thing to Kerry in 2004 turning the American focus from a trumpted up Iraq war to Veitnam protests... Look what you all got people! Your 401K is now depleted, your kids college fund is gone and you yourself may on the street with a tin cup in the next few weeks. The Republicans did this to us, and now you want more of it? Not to mention what will happen if McCain can't fullfill his duties, Sarah Palin as President is a death sentance for us all...

I'M A DEMOCRAT PROUDLY VOTING FOR OBAMA/BIDEN ON NOV 4TH..

OBAMA/BIDEN - THE NEXT PRES & VP

Oonogil - yeah, right, your congressman is "different." That mentality is what keeps most of the same people in Congress for years. Sorry, it's somebody else's turn to get in there and get a shot to fix what's broken in Washington. I like both of my Congress people just fine, but I think they've had their turn and it's time for new people to get in there. This is an excellent opportunity for the American people to make a protest vote by voting their incumbant officials out of Congress. Then in the future, Congresspeople might weigh their actions a little more carefully before frivoling away trillions of our dollars. As it is now, they can count on bamboozling their own constituents into re-electing them to office again. Americans MUST remember that politicians are like diapers, they need changed often for the same reason.

We need to look past individuals and see parties that support bigotry!

JKIR – We need to take the time to look at all candidates and incumbents. My two senators are both Democrats, one I will vote for, the other I will do everything I legally can to get rid of. We need to look past party affiliation and see individuals.

Good for you, Mary. I'm glad you haven't been blinded by the Obamedia.

McCain is criminal for associating with the criminal Keating, he even took free vacations in the carribean with Keating.

Okay, Obama has Ayers, Odinga, Wright, Blaggovich, Rezko, the "Garden to Nowhere" and the poorly used Annenberg millions. How much more proof do people need that this guy is a typical Chicago politician? Bring this stuff to Washington and we will be in even worse shape there than we are now. As far as Congress, politicans and diapers need changed frequently for the same reason. Vote out all incumbants!! I don't care if "your congressman is different," because when he gets back to Washington, he reverts to form.

I am a democrate, and I am reluctantly voting for McCaine. Senator Obama lies when he states after 20 years, that he did not know that Rev. Wright spoke the way he does about white people and that he is a traitor to our country, marine or not. He lies when he says he did not know about Rezko, it was in all the Chicago newspapers, and he had to be terribly ignorant to associate with a former home grown terroritst. I don't trust the man's judgment, he is an opportunist. Today, in this economic crisis, he is being very cautious, says nothing about a plan to solve this situtation, he speaks in generalities. I admire Senator McCaine for his leadership, courage and love of country, therefore, I will vote for him. I don't see those qualities in Senator Obama.

Lynn - c'mon those other people on that board are not running for president. I don't care if Annenberg is sitting in Wright's church either - he's not running for POTUS.

The Republican Party is terrorizing the electorate with the same old lies and smear tactics that we have come to expect. When will someone in the Republican Party step up to take the mantle of leadership? Who can restore the Republican Party? I can't think of one single person other than Chuck Hagel who inspires any sort of leadership principles.

Smears and voodoo witch doctors... that's all McCain has left. The American electorate needs to perform an exorcism on the the Republican Party. Send a message this year. Send the message that you are sick and tired of the sleazy politics of Bush and McCain. This year vote 100% Democratic.

ELECTION 2008
Farrakhan on Obama: 'The Messiah is absolutely speaking'
'Barack has captured the youth,' will bring about 'universal change'

Tried to attach the link but it won't post here for some reason - lol

So Palin is ethically challenged! I wonder where her witch doctor is; maybe with a few good spells and a hex or two, he could have prevented this. Just goes to show you, when the going gets tough, the witches get going.

And poor, old McComa got caught in a box of his own making. When confronted by one of his "fans" he could not continue the charade the Obama is a Muslim and a terrorist. Why, because the proof would have come out and shown him for the liar he is.

THANK YOU DR JOHN. GLAD SOME PEOPLE TELL THE TRUTH.
Certainly NOT the media, nor the brainwashed Republican haters. They would vote for OJ Simpson if it meant they could defeat the Republicans. What a "narrowminded attitude". With that thinking, they will just go from "bad to destruction".

IT WAS A PERFECT STORM OF BAD JUDGEMENT, GREED AND IRRESPONSIBLITY THAT CREATED THIS ECONOMIC MESS.

And the players are:

Obama, pelosi, reid and Acorn pushed to relaxed lending rules for low income borrowers to buy bigger houses then they can afford. The bad judgement was too enticing for anyone to resist….the wild buying drove prices up!

Banks got greedy and went along with the relaxed and risky loans thinking fannie and freddie will back the morgages and the Dems that promoted the lending will insure their risks.

Borrowers went wild and shelf their responsibilites while betting for great equity returns.

All were wrong! thus created this massive economic mess.

All these players bad judgement, greed and irresponsibility combined took hostage of the US economy. The tax payers was then forced to pay the ransom.

But with all hostage situations, there is no guarantee that our loved one…or in this case our economy will be returned dead, alive or injured?

Obama used the term hoodwinked the other day…..perhaps, the hoodwinking was indeed his greatest judgement that has not been told.

Sad thing is…..Obama, Pelosi, Reid and Acorn sold low income americans a dream for 6 years……however, they never bother to hightlight the small prints noting that it was indeed ‘Broken Dreams” they were selling. Now, they are selling us ‘Change”, i’ve learned to read the small prints and it is indicating that it is indeed “bad change”!

I urge all voters to trust but verify……..this is not a time to sell your vote for a lemon!

Why aren't we hearing about FARAKKAN and his latest comments about "THE MESSIAH".

Lynn

You have not the first idea what the CAC was or how it was organized or what it was supposed to do.

Walter Annenberg had no hands on the CAC.

SO, MCCAIN AND PALIN HAVEN'T LIED? THAT'S NEWS TO ALL OF US AND ANOTHER LIE..

OBAMA/BIDEN - THE LEADERSHIP WE NEED

Hey dvine

What humanitarian causes has Michelle Obama fought for here other than partial birth abortion?

Michelle did hold a fundraiser for partial birth abortion, so we'll give her credit where credit is due.

Greg

What has Palin been found "guilty" of?

When did Palin go to trial?

Did you not see the part about her acting lawfully and within her rights?

"Senator Obama didn't leave her for a younger women. He has principles"

He did cocaine. He did drugs.

Out of principle, no doubt.

Obama said he has three spiritual mentors- Jeremiah Wright, Michael Phleger and James Meeks.

They all hate America.

Out of principle, I guess.

Obama was made Chairman of CAC by William Ayers, and made a board member of the Woods Fund by Ayers. You don't make "just a guy you knew from the neighborhood" chairman of a $200 million foundation.

Woods Fund funded ACORN and it's fraud. Obama was ACORN's lawyer and head trainer. ACORN has no principles.

Obama lied about his campaign giving ACORN $800,000 FOR "advance work." That would be registering dead people and 14 year olds.

Obama has the Queen of the SubPrime Mortgage market as his Finance Chair. Raines and Johnson are his advisors and team members.

Yeah, Obama has principles.

They're all bad.

Cindy McCain has made nearly 20 trips to Africa for humanitarian causes, including being in Rwanda during the war in 1994.

How many has Michelle made?

How long has Obama served in the US military?

HUMANITARIANS AIDE CAUSES AT HOME AND/OR ABROAD.. SUFFERING'S EVERYWHERE NOT JUST AFRICA..

SERVING ONE'S COUNTRY IS HONORABLE BUT DOESN'T GIVE ANYONE A FREE PASS TO BECOME PRESIDENT.. THAT HAS TO BE EARNED WITH A PLAN TO ALLEVIATE DOUBTS/FEARS ON CURRENT ISSUES FACING AMERICANS..

Annenberg - the person who Ayres and Obama and about 20 other people worked for on that project, is listed as the number 2 supporter on McCain's list of 100 (really 90) supporters.

So, I guess that means that McCain is also 'pallin' around with terrorists' ?

Corrupt Chicago Politicians? You've never been there, knows nothing about the Daleys or the city's structure. I find it quite desent myself. Rezko don't have nothing to do with Senator Obama. Matter of fact how many Dominoe Pizzas have you eaten. Senator Obama bought

So let me make sure I'm getting the gist of the right-wing thinking these days:

you are upset about people with whom Obama "associated" with, but are willing to give Palin a free pass even though SHE ACTUALLY DID THE THINGS SHE WAS FOUND GUILTY OF?!?!

I just want to make sure I'm getting my facts correct about your hypocrisy when I bring them up again and again and again...

dvine

How many trips to Africa for humanitarian purposes has Michelle Obama made?

Cindy McCain has made 20 trips there, including being in Rwanda in 1994 during the war.

Spoiled?

Michelle Obama should be so spoiled.

McCain has given much for his country. Obama has taken much from his country.

Cindy McCain went to Rawanda and did what?

Senator Obama was helping others who had lost their jobs and retirements when the Republicans deregulated and union busted the manufactoring jobs in America back in the late 1980's and early 1990's. There are all kinds of patriotism in America.

Michelle was working and raising her children.

Senator Obama didn't leave her for a younger women. He has principles

NO ONE HAS RESPECT FOR THE MCCAIN/PALIN TICKET ANYMORE.. THEY SPREAD LIES, FEAR AND DIVISION YET WON'T TELL, AMERICANS, THE TRUTH ABOUT THEMSELVES..

MCCAIN'S NEVER BEEN ABOUT COUNTRY FIRST - HE'S ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT HIMSELF FIRST, WHICH BOILS DOWN TO BEING A DIRTY, SPOILED (DO ANYTHING TO WIN) BRAT ALONG WITH THAT WIFE OF HIS..

PALIN'S ALL ABOUT SEEKING ATTENTION AND MORE POWER IN THE POLITICAL ARENA.. SHE DEFINITELY DIDN'T PUT COUNTRY FIRST, AND NEVER BLINKED, WHEN CONSIDERING THE VP NOMINATION..

TODD PALIN WAS A 7 YR MBR OF THE AIP(ALASKA'S PARTY WHO WANTS TO SECEDE FROM THE US) & SARAH'S INVOLVEMENT IS QUESTIONABLE..

A QUOTE FROM THE FOUNDER OF AIP:
The Alaskan Independence Party quotes Vogler as stating "I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions."[3] [4]

THIS COUNTRY WILL REVERT BACK TO THE 20TH CENTURY IF THESE TWO ARE ELECTED.

The Keating 5?

Please.

The NY Times said that the only reason McCain was kept in the investigation was that his dismissal would turn the episode into a Democrat-only scandal.

Wooten tasered a 10 year old kid, drank in his cruiser, and threatened to kill Sarah Palin's father.

Monegan wouldn't fire this moron.

Which one of you would want Wooten to remain a State Trooper?

And let us remember that this report found:

"Governor Palin’s firing of Commissioner Monegan was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads."

I ask again- which one of you thinks Wooten should have remained an officer of the law?

ROB, Senator Obama has been vetted over and over again. He has addressed every issue that McCain/Palin is bringing up. Are you so blinded by "whatever" that truth cannot be told to you. Do you really believe that Senator Obama has sat in the Senate for 4 years now, and no one knows who he is. If Bush spies on ordinary citizens, in the name of security for our country, what makes you think that he hasn't spied, and investigated Senator Obama. THE WORST IGNORANCE A MAN CAN HAVE IS TO REJECT SOMETHING HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT. READ, READ AND READ. TURN OFF FOX TV

Cindy McCain has made nearly 20 trips to Africa for humanitarian causes, including being in Rwanda during the war in 1994.

How many has Michelle made?

How long has Obama served in the US military?

I TRUST OBAMA/BIDEN WITH MY VOTE

AND

DETEST MCCAIN/PALIN & THEIR EVIL WAYS

Okay, so McCain was one of the Keating Five and associated with Keating so much that he and his entire family regularly flew on Keating's jet for vacation with him, and Sarah Palin was just found guilty of abuse of power, and her husband was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party for years and Cindy McCain actually stole drugs from her children's medical charity to feed her addiction and the fact that Obama served on a charity board with a guy who is now a professor at the University of Chicago but did something awful 40 years ago is supposed to make Obama a bad person? They are REALLY stretching.

Why is Obama and the mainstream media so afraid to discuss these issues and his close ties with Ayers, ACORN and white-bashing Wright? Why are they ONLY interested in talking about the economy? Should we trust Obama with the economy as well? Should we let ABC decide the election for us?

THE "REFORMER":

Todd Palin's outsize role in the mess. Branchflower said it was out of his jurisdiction to pass judgment on the First Gentleman, but his report paints an extralegal role for Todd Palin that would have made the Hillary Clinton of 1992 blush. In the report, the head of Gov. Palin's security detail says that Todd spent about half of his time in the governor's office — not at a desk (he didn't have one), but at a long conference table on one side of the office, with his own phone to make and receive calls. It became a shadow office, the informal Department of Getting Mike Wooten Fired.

It was at that long table that Todd Palin first scheduled a meeting with Walt Monegan, days after his wife's administration began. He showed Monegan three huge binders of evidence against Wooten, including a picture of a dead moose that had been shot illegally. After Monegan came back saying that there was no new actionable information, Todd began a very visible campaign of stewing and fuming, trying to get access to personnel files, calling up and down the Public Safety org chart.

The report also raises the suggestion that the final incident that led to Monegan's firing was perhaps the most (unintentionally) hilarious part of the whole saga. In the run-up to Alaska's 2008 Police Memorial Day event, Monegan visited Palin in Anchorage and brought along an official portrait of a state trooper in uniform, saluting in front of the police memorial in Anchorage, for Palin to sign and present at the event. The trooper? Mike Wooten.

Palin signed the photo and didn't say anything, according to Monegan's testimony, but later cancelled her attendance at the event, sending Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell in her place. The head of her Anchorage office followed up with a call to Monegan berating him for his insensitivity. (Monegan swears he didn't know it was Monegan in the picture, and that he didn't even know what Wooten looked like.)

Shortly after that incident, Monegan's fate was cast. But even then, Palin's staffers were blithely adding more evidence to Troopergate. When Monegan's potential successor, Chuck Kopp, asked Bailey, the Palin staffer, why Monegan was being fired, he was told simply: "Todd is really upset with Monegan."

So what does this say about the possible Vice-President of the United States? Certainly not as much as her enemies would have hoped. She was only directly involved in a small bit of the pressure campaign — a meeting or two and a couple of emails. She can thank Monegan for not having her hands dirtier; it was he who told her to keep herself at "arm's length" from any Wooten conversations.

But even though she won't likely face any legal repercussions, the amateurism and cronyism of her brief administration hardly leaves Palin sitting pretty. Troopergate's final verdict may be even more damaging than a rebuke: her administration was, at least this regard, just as self-motivated as the Washington fat cats and lobbyists she hopes to unseat.

Grasping at straws .... It's time for change !!!

Obama/Biden

Obama innocent? Please. This man has surrounded himself with anti-American thinkers since his college days.
I advise everyone to look at the Black Republicans website. Read their articles and look at their videos. Nothing is more dangerous than a closed mind.

Why won't McCain say what his health care plan really means for working Americans? I went to school, worked hard and chose an employer not just based on pay but on benefits. My benefits are superb, the whole package medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance cost, according to Human Resources Dept. 30k a year. I have never taken one penny of government money, why does McCain feel the government needs to come between an arrangement that concerns only my employer and myself? What happened to tax cuts and smaller government Republicans talk about but their policies haven't reflected in decades? How much is McCain's plan going to tax me on my health care? Is it just medical or does it include the whole package (madical, dental, vision, life, disability insurance)? Since there's no possible way I can get similar benefits for my family for 5K does that mean I have to go with some haelth care rationing HMO so I can pay and they deny care? This is what I care about.

We did not make these choices - Obama did- he chose to associate with these people. It is not a smear campaign when you question the wisdom of someone that would associate with these types. Would you want to associate with someone like Charles Manson considering you know that he murdered several people ? Even if you were "only 8 years old" you would have the brains to stay away from him !! Why didnt Obama have the brains to stay away from these people - he is supposedly Harvard educated and Harvard does teach about dirty Chicago politics and Ayers getting off on a technicality while bragging "Guilty as hell, free as a bird ." Chicago then rewards him with a teaching position- to teach our children to revolt and "kill their parents. " Only in america could this happen -Ayers would have been exterminated in any other country !!! His wife was on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted Lists, yet that didnt bother Obama either.

I don't care if Obama met and took help from the devil himself, none of it will change who is better for this country. This happens every election, the rich and powerful fear someone who might actually help the middle class of this country. Instead of creating sound policies they create fear and hatred, McCain's own supporters scream out things like "kill him" and "terrorist" it's frightening. History repeats itself, the right wing McCarthy started it by labeling people, innocent people "communist" and then threatening others they'd be labeled that as well if they didn't bear false witness against their friends and associates. This is the same trash Republicans pulled with Clinton over affairs and Kerry over Swiftboat lies to deflect how bad their policies are for average Americans.

When is the report gonna come out regarding McCain and the GOP ties to terrorist Timothy McVeigh? McVeigh's close relationship to the NeoCons and the NRA should be disclosed soon.

Chicago government is very corrupt. Obama is currupt as well as all of the community organizers he used to extort our tax dollars to advance Ayers' socialist agenda. Although Ayers brags of his communist ideology. Obama has been all over the map on this issue. Lives in my neighborhood; children go to school with daughters, served on non-profit boards; didn't know he was a terrorist; thought he had been rehabilitated; and now the sheep mentality of all the other corrupt politicians thought it was okay to hang with him

Jailed political fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko, the Chicago real estate developer who helped launch Barack Obama on his political career, is whispering secrets to federal prosecutors about corruption in Illinois and the political fallout could be explosive.

When I read these posts making light of the terrorist link to Obama, it reminds me of Sept. 11, 2001 when people were in shock that terrorists could actually plan such an attack. Bin Laden planned for years with his followers to infiltrate and carry out this mass murder of innocent people. Do you not think they are capable of infiltrating again?

Let's talk about Minh Husani and Mazen Ashabi.Both hired to coordinate Muslim affairs for the Obama campaign. Mazen Ashabi, a Chicago lawyer, resigned in July because some of his associations are linked to Hamas. Minh Husaini has met with Islamic extremist groups and is now coming under fire. In Feb.2008, Farrakhan spoke of Obama as the messiah, the chosen one who will lead the youth to a new America. Wake up America. Obama surrounds himself with these people and you need to keep informed.

Don't you know that Mr Ayers is a proffesor and a former terrorist and become Obama's associate? How about all the student under his class, do we call them terrorist? How many are they, America is in big trouble.Get me?

Yes,McCain is patriotic after he crashed his 4th and 5th airplane because of flying so low during Vietnam war.

Without the help of Bill Ayers, Barack Obama would not be in politics.
Bill Ayers selected Obama for the Annenberg Challenge and Woods Fund board of directors.
According to the New York Times, Obama’s memberships on those foundation boards, “allowed him to help direct tens of millions of dollars in grants” to various liberal organizations, including Chicago Acorn, “whose endorsement Obama sought and won in his State Senate race.”

McCain is right.
Facts are facts.
Obama did have meetings with the domestic terrorist.

McCain did not.

Face it.........Obama is risky and yes has had many shady characters in the past.........Rev. Wright, Ayers, Rezko, Farrakhan.

As Americans we should be scared of all of these guys.

Including Obama.

The media is so pro Obama they don't know how to handle reporting this.

Go McCain. He's a patriot!

No one has a plan to fix the economy.
Not Obama, not McCain, not anyone in the world.

What's really ironic is that McShame
and Failin are pointing fingers at Obama!
You know the old saying - when you point your finger at someone, the rest of your hand points back at you ---

Gordon Libby (terrorist), Keating, abuse of power, pork barrel spending, etc etc.

It is immoral and dangerous to allow your rally supporters to spew hate at
your opponent. I'm looking forward to the investigation into this corrupt and
sleazy campaign!!!!!!!!

Obama loves terrorists and racists as long as they don't stand in the way of his career.

Palin met with some Arabs last week too... I guess that means she "pals around" with terrorists too, right?

Ayers and ACORN - Obama buddies for life.

Word 'em up on the level. This ad is right on the money. What a phony hypocrite Mac is for the Daley thing!

I have been wondering how Annenberg, the billionaire republican, could end funding left-wing projects for our schools. People act as if he were sitting on the boards personally vettin each project. However, I believe that the organizations he funded were largely managed by others. In the case of the education grants, he handed the keys to Vartan Gregorian, president of Brown, who then must have created boards to approve grants that came in. Ayers's group saw the money and crafted a proposal that did not focus on any agenda (I would think, anyway, can't find the actual proposal. However, the studies of the Challenge are written in an obfuscatory way and its difficult even to determine what the project actually did in concrete terms). These kinds of projects can sound non-partisan in the their execution...in large part, they may not be as blatantly left-wing as they would be once they became entrenched. It seems entirely possible that Gregorian and his boards may have ignored Ayers's past or not known about it...they are just approving grants, not vetting the porfessors--in other words, they don't have any reason to do so.

So, that's how Annenberg could end up funding this kind of stuff..He handed over millions of dollars and trusts his foundation to do it right...he can't check into every fund...his foundation is worth billions of dollars...

Also, Obama had more of a duty to vet the guy because he was associated with him in a political fashion.

The ugly truth is that Obama knew and didn't care...he assumed Ayers was rehabilitated...I don't think so...Obama's own memoir talks about his flirtations with Marxism and Communism...

I ask again- would McCain even be a candidate if he had a fund raiser at George Lincoln Rockwell's or Tim McVeigh's house?
