McCain once was an honorable man. Palin was never an honorable politician.

As a vice presidential candidate, Palin has railed against federal earmarks, or congressional funding for pork-barrel projects. "In our state, we reformed the abuses of earmarks," Palin recently boasted to a rally in Lancaster, Pa. "We championed earmark reform up there," she said, "to stop Congress from wasting public money on things that didn't serve the public interest."

But musty records culled from the archives of the Wasilla, Alaska, city government reveal that Palin was directly involved in soliciting millions of dollars in earmarks for Wasilla when she was mayor. And she got help from a well-connected Washington lobbyist.

In a monthly status report to the city on March 7, 2000, newly hired "City Lobbyist" Steve Silver describes how the Palin administration had requested $6.6 million in federal earmarks for water and sewer improvements for Wasilla, and another $1 million for police equipment. Mayor Palin reviewed and signed the lobbyist's report, dated April 5, 2000.

AND WHY SHOULD WE FORFEIT "A GREAT MAN." MCCAIN AND VOTE FOR AN INEXPERIENCED, RACE-CARD FLASHING, RACIST MAN BECAUSE HE SAYS HE IS SANTA CLAUS AND HAS A GIFT FOR EVERYBODY..
MCCAIN IS A HERO FOR A REASON..

MCCAIN/PALIN 08

Traitor! After all of the support we have given to Bill Clinton! We stood by his side ever since he began running for President in 1991, and for him to now, in return, show luke warm support for our candidate is traitorous!

Shame on you Bill Clinton!

I used to say "I still love Bill Clinton" all the time. I think now I'll start watching my mouth!

What a traitor to democrats!

Bet BHO is regretting his race-baiting against the Clinton's now!

If this is all about Hillary planning to run in 2012, she's going to have to start all over again, and she'll be on her own, without my support.

I will never forget, when it's time to vote for Hillary, I'll make sure I vote for the other guy.

Traitor!

I'm beginning to like Bill Clinton! Seems like he has no real problem seeing through the shallow one!

I'd love to support Obama if he's not too far left. McCain is more to the center. He's a different kind of Republican. I don't agree on all Palin's viewpoints but, as a VP, she's fine. At this very tough moment, we can't afford Obama's socialism. Not an ideal solution for now.

Billie,

EVERY STATE SOLICITED EARMARKS, AND OBAMA SOLICITED 1 BILLION DOLLARS IN EARMARKS. OBAMA GOT $200,000 FOR FLEGER, THE PRIEST THAT WAS CURSING OUT WHITES...AND HILLARY CLINTON?
DONT EVEN GO THERE--
PALIN IS A STAR!!
A GOV WHO HAS 80% APPROVAL RATING-

MCCCAIN IS A NATIONAL TREASURE AND WE DONT WANT TO LOSE THIS CHANCE TO DO RIGHT BY A NATIONAL HERO.

MCCAIN/PALIN 08

Speaking of political intuition, what's happened to Bill Clinton? He was a mess during the primaries and has not particularly redeemed himself since, one exceptional convention speech notwithstanding.

I agree with the previous poster. What a traitor! "Oh he beat my wife in the primaries, I'm gonna sulk". Then don't pretend to be supporting Obama. We don't need this kind of "endorsement". What a selfish, racist pig.

Sounds like Bill Clinton isn't too excited about Obama becoming President.
Well, Bill's an honest man and McCain-Palin will do a better job and he knows it.

After all, the so-called Obama's economic plans are copied from Hillary's.

Why should Bill praise Obama after Obama inferred that Bill is racist? He's not racist and everyone knows that. Obama is a corrupt thug of a politician and I don't blame Bill for his lukewarm endorsement at all.

William Jefferson Clinton - one of our greatest presidents. (minus the hanky-panky) LOL

Bill is right. McCain is a good man; a real man. -An honest man.

Barack -grow up and try again. You are in way over your head.

HILLARY 2012 !

President Clinton,

I am a right-winger who thought you may have had something to do with Vince Foster's untimely demise.

I take it all back. You too are a great man, and I am counting on you to do all you can behind the scenes to ensure that this upstart who called you a racist for supporting your wife's campaign has his comeuppance.

That GD liar he said in another statement that Obama,a will win in a land slide

_________________________________

What do you expect? Barack and his press lovers accused the Clinton's of being racists. Talk about sleeze. Hill/Bill are not traitors. You are just a mute. a moron. duh

Obama is the traitor to the dem party. He has caused many to leave.

Someone told Bill her name was Monica Palin. Hillary will never get my vote.

One of the best females out there speaking for Obama and the Democratic party is Wasserman-Schultz.

Thanks Rodney for your submission. I like all your letters in CAP! Scream louder. Wait.

Please dont.

*shakes head*

*some people should not be allowed to drive, much less use a computer*

Rodney.

behave child.

Bill Clinton is a lot of things, and I don't like him, but he is not a racist. He likes McCain and dislikes Obama for a good reason - ideology. They rank like this:
Obama is a radical Communist;
Clintons are both very mild Socialists on the left of the center;
McCain is a mild Socialist on the right of the center.
So, McCain is a lot closer to Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton in his economic and social vision for the country than the uber-Marxist Obama.

Vote for McCain/Palin!

Hilary is a moderate democrat, much like Bill. I am sorry she didn't win. I am an independent who doesn't really like McCain much and don't trust Obama at all. He is too socialistic and we don't need extreme leftist politics to deal with the problems we have. I hate that we are always having to vote for the lesser of evils...

Bill Clinton is so two faced. His is not to be trusted. He is only looking out for his self. Hillary had better hope Obama wins. Because Palin will run for president in 2012

Right tilly, anyone black running for office wouldn't get full support from the democrats. But I'm glad you all put it out there for all to see. Now I'm sure african americans that value their right to vote will vote accordingly.

DEAR REPUBLICANS,

Every day I learn more about John McCain's running mate, and therefore, about John McCain himself.

DID YOU KNOW that when Sarah Palin was elected to be mayor in Wasilla, Alaska, she spent FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS on improvements to her new office?

DID YOU KNOW that she forced construction to start on a new iceskating rink on land the town didn't own?

DID YOU KNOW that she tried to get the land by suing the actual owner, in effect trying to STEAL his private property?

DID YOU KNOW that the town ended up spending an extra 1.5 MILLION dollars for the land because they didn't have title when they starting construction?

DID YOU KNOW that this town only had a small police force, library and local museum. That the town did not have responsibilities for schools or roads or building permits (handled by the county).

DID YOU KNOW that even with these few responsibilities she had to hire a city manager to do the work?

BUT. She is a woman. And she can see Russia -- from an island she has never been to.

Is it true that Obama is a follower of the black liberation/black nationist movement?

I've heard rumors but need confirmation.

just askin'.

After that 'endorsement', Obama might work hard at keeping Bill Clinton off the campaign trail. I bet Obama expected more after he crawled to New York to pay homage to Clinton last week. It sounds like Bill is still angry Obama played the race card on him. Can't say I blame him.

Wow - TJ is great at reverse racism.

Earmarks, special interest money- who cares about the dirt being thrown by either side because there are no innocents in this group of four. If I don't like the influence of special interest money on candidates then I guess I won't be voting. Obama declined taking public funding, which part of the purpose of such is to limit the influence of special interests. Biden has been in the bag of credit card companies. McCain takes more money in oil than Obama and Obama takes more money from Wall Street then McCain. Palin is just like the rest with taking earmarks- no different then Obama. The only one's who have an actual record though of standing up to special interests are McCain and Palin though.
The rest of it is just moot because they are all guilty of doing the same thing.

Polosi House Majority Leader's comment, "Hey don't blame us."

Reid Senate Majority Leader's comment, We don't know what to do."

Obma's comments toward the economic crisis..."I'm skinny, but I'm tough."09/18/2008..Seriously, offered no specifics..just get rid of all blah blah blah

McCain: "I would have fired the SEC chairman. And will create a Federal Commission to oversee the bail-out programs."09/18/2008

Fact; The President has no control over monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does..........

When did Senator Obama call Bill Clinton a racist?
When did Senator Obama even imply that Bill Clinton was a racist?

Hmmm. It's apparent the Clintons REALLY don't like losing and it looks like they know how to carry a grudge. Disappointing to say the least. Their "support" of Obama is obviously lukewarm. If Obama loses this election they will have effectively shot themselves in the foot, at least as far as Hillary Clinton running again is concerned. Politics sometimes, often, sucks.

I do not categorically wish to have sex with this woman

I could care less what Clinton has to say about anything.

Bill does not have to praise Obama after Obama As long as Bill thought he could play to the African American community; he did not have a problem with Obama. But now that the Clintons are not in the White House and bring another scandal to the American people he can't see beyond himself. He is a corrupt politician him. How dare you. Baraka is playing the GAME. Bill and Hillary taught him well for 30 plus years. Step back and Step down. We don't need Bill's lukewarm endorsement.

I've heard rumors that Obama suffers for manic depression.

Is this true.

Can't remember where I read it, but I'm wondering if it's true.

Just askin'.

Bill Clinton certainly must be thinking with his little head once again. No doubt, Palin turns him on...and he is still sulking about the reality that Obama could get as far as he has WITHOUT his help.

You can tell Bill Clinton is holding a grudge. And he can hold onto that grudge, but it won't help his wife, especially if she decides to run. Hillary would be lucky to get 10% of the black vote. Sometimes people really do get tired of being slapped and kicked. So turn the other cheek is a myth.

Rodney....GREAT NEWS...YOU WON THE OFFICE ADOPT A LIBERAL FOR THE DAY..YOUR COMMENTS WILL NOW BE PROUDLY DISPLAYED ON OUR "WALL OF SHAME." FURTHER, WILL PROVIDE MUCH ENTERTAINMENT FOR TOMORROW....GOOD JOB BUDDY...DIDN'T I SUGGEST STICK WITH IT AND ONE DAY YOU WOULD GET THE VOTE.......CONGRAD...

How horrible for EX president clinton to do that...I have lost respect (what little I had) for this lame excuse of a person who"will do everything to help Obama win" He has lost his mind! WHO thinks Palin is ready to be Pres. ? really? She is an example of what is WRONG with America today! Self-serving, vengeful, regressive, repressive, power hungry LIAR! and yet...off he goes saying good things about a woman who is not fit to shine his wife's shoes. He knows that, we all know that. I am ashamed for him! These attacks on Obama are not Subtle.

1. They both pretty much said that at the convention....We like McCain...he's a friend....yadda yadda yadda....but not the right one for prez...yadda. Even Biden said something like this.

2. He said we have to put things aside for the next couple of years...I guess that means until Clinton 2012 kicks off!

3. I do not blame Clinton for being mad at Obama. He made good with him at the convention, but Obama never talked about his record. He should mention his civil rights record - in terms of the Justices he appointed to the SCT, appointing Deval Patrick as AG for Civil Rights, saving affirmative action from rightwing attacks, and prosecuting more civil rights violations than probably all three of the Bush administrations combined.

Now Bill's position I can respect, he isn't out there kow towing to Obama, Hillary I'm a little miffed at because she is.

Even Bill Clinton has it figured out - McCain is the better man and candidate. I bet he even votes for McCain!

The truth is a race issue. The fact that Barack is a man of color has shocked and blown the racist mind. Hillary did everything she could to win the nominee but she did not so GET OVER IT. As far as Bill, I do agree that he did some good for the US, but let the record show that he is a big time womanizer and committed adultery while in the highest office. So don't act like he was great. I also don't believe that Barack needs the Clinton, let the record show in the polls. Palin came out and yes I even got scared but now that Barack is leading back in the polls we should win.

It is amazing to me that people have to make up lies about Obama to make themselves feel powerful. That kind of power we do not need in this country. It wreaks of Nazi ethics.

Don't forget guys -- they did more than call her a racist. Remember too, that they said she wanted him to get assasinated. That was the lowest of the low. I would never support the big-eared moron.

I so regret my two votes for Bill...it's a sad day when his personal ambitions for his wife overcome the good of the country, not to mention his own party...and, it really doesn't help Hillary's chances for 2012--I, for one, will never vote for her...

Leyete - please...I agree that race is always an issue in politics - even when there are two white candidates. Most white males vote Republican. White women are more moderate and shifting, although they tend to be Democrats. While people of color tend to be Dems as well.

Having said that - it is not racist for people not to support Obama. I don't and I'm black. I think he is a loser who manipulates race to get attention for himself, but will drop race when it looks like a liability . He's a joke.

Why would America REWARD complete Republican failure ?

We wont.

why are you people tripping? most of the older democrats at the convention - including BIDEN - who spoke about McCain said that he was an "honorable" or "dignified" or "good" man...but that his policies are not good for America. Stop letting the spin of ABC news get you all twisted. Use your own brains for a change.

Angry, who is "they"?

You idiots still attribute everything everyone says, whether on his behalf or not, to Senator Obama.

Senator Obama nor his campaign staff had anything to do with any of that, and oh by the way, they can't control what others say, just like you can't.

PUMA!PUMA!

We Clinton voters will not forget the mysoginistic way team Obama treated Hillary or Ferraro last year.
Im voting for McCain, then Hill in 2012!

Once you dismiss someone's lifelong work as irrelevant and then brand the person as a racist, you should not expect any help or you're delusional.

Terresa, are you really comparing stupid blog rumors to Nazi ethics?

Try reading a book on the Nazis and then think it over.

LMAO! The Clintons are not going to help BHO! He played the race card with them and now they are thumbing their noses at Curious George.

This from two Obama supporters:

Moonbat: "Traitor! After all of the support we have given to Bill Clinton! We stood by his side ever since he began running for President in 1991, and for him to now, in return, show luke warm support for our candidate is traitorous! Shame on you Bill Clinton!" and Rodney (only one of several "special" posts): "PORKY PORK BUTT PIG PORKER! OBAMA/BIDEN '08."

Apparently, in Obamaland you are not allowed to have doubts about Obama - although Pres. Clinton said several times he believes Obama will win the election. Shame on Pres. Clinton - how dare he react adversely to someone who's greatest claim to fame is writing two books about himself and running for office and who called both Clintons racists.

As for Rodney - well, read his posts for yourself. If Rodney is an example of a "typical" Obama supporter, then God help us if Obama gets elected. P.S. Rodney - before you make fun of other peoples' intelligence, maybe you should learn to spell.

You people are laughable.

McCain said the following:

"In an interview with CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric Saturday at his home in Sedona, Ariz., presumptive GOP nominee John McCain had kind words for Sen. Joe Biden, who last night was named presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama’s running mate.

“I think he’s a good selection,” McCain told Couric of Biden. “Joe and I have been friends for many, many years, and we know each other very well, and so I think he's made a very wise selection.”.....

“I know that Joe will campaign well for Senator Obama, and so I think he's going to be very formidable,” McCain added. “Obviously, Joe and I have been on different philosophical sides, but we have been - I consider him a good friend and good man."
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/08/23/politics/main4377152.shtml

Angry Black Democrat, your name says it all.

We all have a choice, as to whom we give our vote.

Traitor!! Our health care, our economy, our future lies in the balance--and Clinton's ego comes first??? He will get trashed in the history books, along with his poor wife, who twisted herself into a pretzel to be his surogate president--No Clinton will ever get my vote. Double shame on Clinton!

The democrats love to eat their own. Clinton said what is manifestly obvious and Obama's lemmings revert to cannibalism. Strange creatures, these Obama lemmings.

Bill Clinton is still being a sore loser.

McCain is NO LONGER an honorable man.

The democrats will never get back in office again. Not after THIS election.

Hi Rodney,
I'm glad to see you aren't using all caps tonight. How many comments on your "all caps" did it take for you to type like a normal person?

Well done!

I suppose you can't expect Bill Clinton to grow up. The entire country is facing bad times, and Clinton speaks well of McCain and his wife, and not Obama??? Turkey (the bird), you have met your champion.

Honesty and Integrity are no longer american values. Try raising your kids on the values of McCain and Palin, lie til your hearts content.

Watch how cheating goes through the roof in the schools.

Forget it, Clintons. After your performances in the primary and general campaigns this year, you've lost the base of the Party. If Obama loses, Hillary won't have a chance after this election season behavior. And, Obama's camp never called WJC a racist, but the media did call him out on his race baiting. WJC didn't respect the Office when he had it and he diminishes it now. As an independent, I'm so glad that the Democrats gave us an alternative to a Clinton.

Rodney: I think down deep inside Bill Clinton wants to see his own race in the white house. There are states that are like that and Obama will find out. Bill Clinton doesn't want to show it but there are numberous of white voters that will vote for their own race. And I don't blame them. After all aren't the blacks voting for Obama? This could turn out to be a race issue in several states making Obama lose the election.

Clinton is a piece of crap...Obama will have to win without that sore loser

IT'S CLEAR TO SEE THAT BILL TAKING ONE FOR HIS WIFE SO THAT SHE RUNS IN 2012..BUT SERIOUSLY HILLARY ARE YOU WILLING TO PUT US TROUGHT 4 MORE YEARS OF HELL SO YOU COULD RUN FOR PRESIDENCY AND BRING THE WELL DESERVED CHANGE...I WAS FOR HILARY IN THE PRIMARIES CAUSE TO BE HONEST WITH YOU BARACK BEING BLACK I DID NOT KNOW IF PPL WILL VOTE FOR HIM..I WOULD'VE BACKED HILLARY 150% IF SHE HAD WON BUT NOW I'M GOING FOR BO BUT IF HE LOSES AND IN MY MIND I THINK HILL DIDN'T ALL SHE COULD TO GET HIM ELECTED I'LL REMEMBER THAT IN 2012

OBAMA/BIDEN 08 ENOUGH OF THE BULL PLZ

Bill is THE reason Hillary didn't win anyway. So he should just get over it. Over half the country did not want Bill anywhere NEAR the white house again. Sometimes reality bites.

I think Bill Clinton gave the hint to voters to vote for McCain. The Clinton's do not like Obama. Hillary is just campaigning because if she runs for the senate again she needs the democrats votes. Of course this generation of druggers and boozers like Obama feel at home with Obama. After all, he is in the same category.

Mariann Pepitone

Here you see it folks! Race-baiting at its finest.

Grow up ABC News! Grow up anti-Clinton hypocrites.

During his convention speech, Biden said:

You know, John McCain is my friend. And I know you hear that phrase used all the time in politics. I mean it. John McCain is my friend.

We've traveled the world together. It's a friendship that goes beyond politics. And the personal courage and heroism demonstrated by John still amazes me.

(APPLAUSE)

But I profoundly -- I profoundly disagree with the direction John wants to take this country, from Afghanistan to Iraq, from Amtrak to veterans.

Good for Pres. Clinton. He will always be a Democrat but let's face it - he's a brilliant political mind, and I can't believe he or Hillary think Obama is the best choice, Democrat or no. It's funny how Obama and his supporters literally cut the Clintons to shreds during the primaries, calling them liars, racists - well, kind of like many of the Obama supporters' posts on this blog - and then you expect them to just gussteppe and support this man, no matter what?! Really?

Sorry, some of us put our personal integrity, our love for our country and our hope for a better future before party politics. We don't need a "historical" candidate, we need the right candidate. We don't need a black man, or a woman, or someone with pink polkadots - we need someone who will really try to reach across the aisle to find solutions, not to point fingers. Those of you who support Obama who resort to the name calling and the nastiness, your candidate and many of his associates prove every day Obama is NOT the candidate who will do that.

Disingenuous argument Mariann. What was the percentage of the black vote that "white" John Kerry got?

What was the percentage of the black vote that "white" Al Gore got?

And Bill Clinton?

And Jimmy Carter?

Give me a break.

I'm white and voting for Obama. And blacks have been voting for whites for years. I think Obama's brilliant, and I don't think McCain is. I vote for brains, not skin color. And I think you're probably speaking for yourself, unless you know Bill Clinton personally.

Obama has zero credibility.

Rodney -- you are a "make believe" primate. Sorry that my thoughts are not robotic and feel-good Obama. I like to keep it real. I was black before I knew who the H#LL Obama was...and I still am!

Make no mistake, this man is the reason that Hillary is not the VP.

lol druggers and boozers??

You mean as opposted to republican liars, cheaters, and bathroom foot tappers?

Geez, you really ARE delusional.

rodney

You're an idiot -- nobody believes a word you type.
