No, I think a maverick is a person who has 7 lobbyists running his campaign.

McCain is in the pocket of the special interests.

If we want to get special interests out of washington, we better elect obama.

WOW REAL ISSUES.... OH BOY

HOW LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE THEY SAY OBAMA ACCUSES PALIN TO BE AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT.

WELL HER HUSBAND ACTUALLY DOES WANT ALASKA TO BE SEPARATED FROM THE US.

This is so funny... but way too close to the truth

Lets be real.. McCain's going to win anyway. We all know it, so can we just skip november 7th now...

If Obama were to win a sizeable chunk of Hispanic voters, he might change his tune on the immigration thingy. He's such a wimp, and he would be afraid to irritate them. There is nothing he says that isn't up for revision once he knows who he owes something to. He's always trying to play catch-up, juggling his lil groups of identities. This is Obama. You can put lipstick on him, but he's still Obama.

The thing about republicans is that you can put lipstick on them -- but they are still afraid of smart black men.

Stop living in the 1930s. The republican party is completely corrupt and has been slowly dumping our country into the crapper (did anyone see Lehman bros today... lost 4 billion $ ... there is some great republican management of the markets! ). McCain's policies are exactly the same as bush's policies. He's proud of it too, and he has bragged about it. Of course all of a sudden he like the word "change", but if he is elected, basically things will stay the same.. and down down down we go until we are a third world country.

Vote Obama -- the man will stop the republican railroad.

Brittanicus as usual spreading his lies in every opportunity he has. You should see what your republican politicians, the real criminals are doing to the country. Look at the new scandal with Bush appointees doing favors for big oil companies in exchange for sex, drugs, and money. Unreal, right in front of Bush's eyes. Brittanicus you form part of the racist, nativist organization FAIR. Their own founders have been caught "expressing" their xenophobic views in public to people like you. So instead of demonizing immigrants with your lies take a look at your politicians you idiot. Copy and paste articles from FAIR here just shows how shallow your reasoning is.

The thing about McCain's party --- is that they are SO GOOD at telling complete lies. They just make stuff up and repeat it over and over until someone starts to think it is true.

The republican lies we have all suffered, that have led us into disaster.

McCain is following suit. Just making up stupid crap and throwing at Obama. If he really felt secure with his positions on the issues he would argue about issues --- not make up crap like sex ed for kindergarten.

Not to mention the lies like "I opposed the bridge" when in fact they supported it.

Kitty thinks Obama needs to change his tune on the "immigration thingy" It's scary that some people are allowed to vote

Hispanic registered voters support Democrat Barack Obama for president over Republican John McCain by 66% to 23%, according to a nationwide survey of 2,015 Latinos conducted by the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center

if there was some IQ test for voting, I'm sure bush would not be in office (actually there should be an IQ test to be president too!).

In a test about the current state of the world, the country, and the economy, the people who watched FoX (faux) news scored lower than people who got their news from ANY other source.

I rest my case.

Actually, I voted for bush. Oops.

But this time I'm not going to fall for any more of the republican lies and deception. I'm going to vote Obama.

You know, it seems to be the SAME people who made these passionate angry arguments against Kerry in 04 that seem to be fighting against Obama now. Any after the election 04, it turned out that most of what they said was just made up hogwash -- but it stuck til after the election. So don't be fooled this time like I was last time. I've been kicking myself ever since.

Republican for Obama

Hi I'm chelsea clinton and I'm approving this message.

John McCain told some really nasty off color jokes about me when I was 17 years old and just an awkward teenager. Is this the kind of president we want, one who will take dishonorable pot shots at school-girls?

Now McCain is slinging mud at Obama. If he were an honorable man he would talk about the real issues, but he doesn't. Because his policies stink and everyone knows it. His one hope to win the election is just to throw more mud.

... and I, chelsea clinton, know more than anyone, how much mud McCain can sling.

I'm Hillary Clinton and I approve this message.

People ask why I support Obama. In fact, I am working my tail off to get him elected. I'm on good terms with him and I truly hope he defeats McCain. Why? See above post from Chelsea.

Finally, somebody who worked on earmark issue with both McCain and Obama set record right:

Mrs. Palin also killed the infamous Bridge to Nowhere in her own state. Yes, she once supported the project: But after witnessing the problems created by earmarks for her state and for the nation's budget, she did what others like me have done: She changed her position and saved taxpayers millions. Even the Alaska Democratic Party credits her with killing the bridge.

When the Senate had its chance to stop the Bridge to Nowhere and transfer the money to Katrina rebuilding, Messrs. Obama and Biden voted for the $223 million earmark, siding with the old boys' club in the Senate. And to date, they still have not publicly renounced their support for the infamous earmark.

Obama. shame on you!!

I'm Cindy McCain and I have tons of money. My outfit for the RNC cost 300,000$.

When John Kerry ran for president and he was married to a multi-millionaire, all the republicans took shots at him for marrying a filthy rich woman. I wonder why they are not attacking John McCain now. Maybe because they are all hypocrites.

Mrs. Palin cut Alaska's federal earmark requests in half last year, one of the strongest moves against earmarks by any governor. It took real leadership to buck Alaska's decades-long earmark addiction.

Mr. Obama delivered over $100 million in earmarks to Illinois last year and has requested nearly a billion dollars in pet projects since 2005. His running mate, Joe Biden, is still indulging in earmarks, securing over $90 million worth this year.

It's amazing - the Bush regime is spying on you, harassing you at airports, rendering your neighbors to Syria for torture, starting wars based on lies, not to mention rising unemployment and mortgage foreclosures…and yet there are still people thinking about voting for McSame. How could they not get this simple message: Repubs Don’t Care About You! This goes double for the pro-McSame posters on this blog, including the trolls.
It’s even on record: they call their own fundamentalist base morons for donating money. Yet they’re out there again waving their flags, hating gays and immigrants. Are they so terrified that whites won’t be a majority soon? Ask yourself, What are they willing to do to prevent that from happening?

Amy seems to claim that Palin is somehow anti-earmark these days.

In fact, Alaska is #1 in the country for earmark spending!

ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 1 -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin employed a lobbying firm to secure almost $27 million in federal earmarks for a town of 6,700 residents while she was its mayor, according to an analysis by an independent government watchdog group.

Amy's claim is simply a lie. So is Palin's claim --- she opposed the bridge only after it was clear that it was going nowhere. (so to speak).

From AP Wire. RE: Palin

As Alaska governor, she sought and obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in earmarks for the state, and as mayor of Wasilla, she hired lobbyist and former Stevens staffer Steve Silver to steer federal money to her town.

Some of her earmark projects when she served as mayor from 1996 to 2002 even landed on McCain's list of questionable congressional pork barrel spending.

From Newsday:

Under Palin's leadership, Alaska this year asked for almost $300 per person in requests for pet projects. That's more than any other state received, per person, from Congress for the current budget year. Other states got just $34 worth of local projects per person this year, on average, according to Citizens Against Government Waste, a Washington-based watchdog group.
