A democracy cannot function when the preeminent media publish lies and omit truth. One cannot cast a vote when they are not informed. We have the internet. Google some of the allegations about Obama and weigh what you find as a murder-trial jury would.

Remember this story: A boy once found a stiff cold snake on a mountain side. The snake asked him to put him under his coat and take him down--and he would not bite him. At the foot of the mountain, the revived snake coiled and stuck the boy. The boy complained of betrayal. The snake said simply,"you knew what I was when you picked me up." Do not vote in ignorance.

I cant believe that after the last eight years of failed policy if you can even call it policy with the knucklehead that is in Washington for another couple of months, that you think anything will different with McCain who has been right by Bush on 90% of all his misdoing's that have all but bankrupted this country. I am voting for something different then what we have been getting and defenitly against anything that the religous right is voting for stop trying to push your agenda on everyone else I think that we can all make up our own minds as to what is best for us and you can keep your opinions to yourselves.

Fact: Over the past two years, "Democrats" have held the majority in both the houses of congress.

Fact: Over the same period, both obama and Biden were U.S. senators.

Question: Could someone explain to me how the obama/Biden campaign gets away with blaming Bush and McCain for every thing that wrong in the past 2-years, considering that both obama and Biden, (1) both were senators (just like McCain) and (2) both operated under a congress controlled by their close democratic friends, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed? Under these environment, it should have been easy for either obama or Biden to step-up and take a leadership role on at least one significant issue. They certainly had a perfect opportunity to make a "True" Change for this country. But instead, they chose to sit on their rears, waive their fingers and criticize the Republican Party. Is this the Change you really want? Four more years of, whining, name calling, do nothing, finger pointing democrats who promise to raise your taxes, and redistribute your hard earned money like we were a socialist country (all this during a recession). No wonder they have rightfully earned a national job approval rating of 17%. Is this the Change you really want for the United States?

Uh oh,

ARIZONA McCain 48 - Obama 47, Research 2000, October 31.

I take you are really upset about Liddy Dole's unchristian ad against her Dem opponent?

Let's hope on the 4th the sleazy side of the Republican party will be gone for good.

Enough of the politics of division, lies, smear and fear.

Posted by: pefros | Oct 31, 2008 2:54:50 PM

Vote obama! He will win on Tuesday. Only the weak fears!
It is already in the eyes of the Americans that change is coming soon. Give us three more days.

"everyone needs to get out and vote."

Everyone should go out and vote regardless of what the polls say.

If you don't vote because your candidate is losing well then you are a sad sack of an American.

Why is it that the states that McCain and Palin spend more time in their polling numbers go down?

Do they say stupid things all the time to really turn people off? Like Sarah Palin talking up the Phillies in the Pittsburgh region.

Posted by: Bud | Oct 31, 2008 2:21:16 PM

Mike, so I gather you would prefer that a mother die than have a late term abortion. Thank god Obama undertands that tough decisions like that are best left between a woman (and her family) and her physician.....not the government. I don't understand why it is so difficult for some persons to understand that one can personally oppose abortions but maintain the right of others to decide such a difficult question for themselves.

Oh, and I am guessing you support the death penalty....just a guess.

Republicans: Prepare to meet reality.

Posted by: Steve | Oct 31, 2008 2:06:18 PM

Obama and ACORN are leading in the polls-what a surprise.

Posted by: bailey | Oct 31, 2008 2:00:34 PM


People Please do not panic, and please do not pay attention to the skewed election polls which is done to discourage republican voters. The election is very close, and everyone needs to get out and vote.

Posted by: Hector Contreras | Oct 31, 2008 1:39:28 PM

Obama loses Tuesday and he's toast.

After all is finally known about Obama he won't even be re-electable to the U.S. Senate let alone the Dem Presidential nominee.

Obama will NEVER the Dem nominee again.

Thank God.

I want to vote for a man that can stand up and tell the truth......
If you sit in a Church for 20 years you know your pastor. What he heard in his Church and lied about is enough to tell me he is a liar and only a select few know what else he is not telling the truth about. If you lie about something so Holy as you Church you will lie about anything. That is important to me as a Christian. If God can part the waters he can change this election.

Posted by: Rita | Oct 31, 2008 12:32:34 PM

Roberta, I share you views exactly. I wanted McCain in 2000. I have lost a lot of respect for his nasty campaign this year.

We are one country. Why do we have to have so much hate?
