Very Well stated From Senator Barbara Boxer:

Last night at the Republican National Convention, John McCain used the word "fight" more than 40 times in his speech.

In the 16 years that we have served together in the Senate, I have seen John McCain fight.

I have seen him fight against raising the federal minimum wage 14 times.

I have seen him fight against making sure that women earn equal pay for equal work.

I have seen him fight against a women's right to choose so consistently that he received a zero percent vote rating from pro-choice organizations.

I have seen him fight against helping families gain access to birth control.

I have seen him fight against Social Security, even going so far as to call its current funding system "an absolute disgrace."

And I saw him fight against the new GI Bill of Rights until it became politically untenable for him to do so.

John McCain voted with President Bush 95 percent of the time in 2007 and 100 percent of the time in 2008 -- that's no maverick.

We do have two real fighters for change in this election -- their names are Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

It's the old "If you can't beat 'em, copy 'em" tactic,

LOLOL

Or maybe McCain means it's time to change his diapers/depends...

The only change coming from the Obama camp will be to move the corrupt Chicago style of politics to Washington.
He has never said one word against any do-nothing Democrat. McCain has gone against his Republicans colleagues time and time again.
Obama has been running his mouth. Palen has been running the biggest state with an approval rate of 82% just yesterday. Change is what we need, the McCain/Palin type of change. Not the socialist change Obama would put in place. After all, there is a Reparation to Blacks for Slavery with a cost of 1.4 trillion dollars on Obama's agenda.

The idea that many Republicans are comparing Palin to Obama is laughable. Let's review: a former beauty pageant queen with a degree in communications from the University of Idaho, 1.5 years of experience as governor of a state with fewer people than Dayton, Ohio, and prior experience as Mayor of a village of 6,500 vs. a former community organizer with a law degree from Harvard who has worked as a constitutional law professor, a productive state senator in one of the largest states in the country for 8 years, and a U.S. Senator for 4 years is laughable. And, just for the record, "no experience" Obama has done the following:

Illinois State Senate:
a) Led sweeping, bipartisan ethics reform;
b) Led an effort to expand health care to 150,000 people (that's 1/5 the size of Alaska);
c) Led an effort to pass the Earned Income Tax Credit;

Senate (and, to those who say Senator Obama has spent all of his time running for President, somehow he has also achieved the following):
a) Passed the most sweeping Congressional ethics reform in history;
b) Led a successful effort to improve the medical care provided to our noble veterans
c) Fought against so-called loyal-vet McCain to EXPAND the GI Bill so that our brave vets have a chance at a better future through education when they return home;
d) Led the fight for legislation to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in the hands of rogue states and actors (somehow more impressive than commanding the Alaska National Guard as governor of Alaska where, at best, she's authorized to deploy them to dig Anchorage out of a big snow storm)
e) has traveled extensively internationally PRIOR to this campaign, and, at this point, has met with the leaders of most of our major allies in Europe and the Middle East;
f) Spoke out against the Iraq War when it was unpopular to challenge the Bush administration (and when Sarah Palin was still presiding over a village smaller than my high school);
h) Challenged Bush and McCain to focus on real threats to our security in Afghanistan and Al-Queda instead of costly, Bush-created threats in Iraq;
i) Developed a nuanced foreign policy based on engagement as a first principle, and force as a last option. After mocking him for arguing for the importance of engaging Iran to reduce their nuclear threat, the Bush administration is now doing just that!

Not only do Obama's achievements stand up to those of McSame, who voted with Bush 90% of the time, they dwarf those of Palin.

Let's review here: Former Mayor of a town of 6500 who has been Governor for 1.5 years being compared to Senator Obama, who has been in state and national office for 12 years. Senator Obama has already influenced and helped to shape domestic and international dialogue on U.S. foreign policy, and his positions have been proven right on Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran. Laughable comparison.

The Republicans are shocking in their bravado, which is why they nominated Dubya twice! People voted for Hillary Clinton because she had REAL experience and credibility, and McCain insults them by picking this neophyte. Her record of independence from the corruption of her party is admirable; her abuse of her authority to punish her ex-brother-in-law was not, and sounds awfully Karl Roveian.

Ladies and Gentleman, Sarah Palin is NO Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama has my vote. He has a better record on women's issues than this feaux-feminist, "Trophy VP" nominee, who opposes a woman's right to chose and saddled up with a candidate who voted against equal pay for women and the Family Leave Act. McCain picked her after meeting/SEEING her ONCE over much more experienced women like Kay Bailey Hutchinson in Texas and Elizabeth Dole in North Carolina. Those two must feel like the disabled wife whom McCain left for his current trophy wife (whom he recently offered to enter in a nude beauty contest in exchange for the the votes of some biker dudes). Women of America, this is a slap in the face. I'd rather wait until Claire McCaskill, Kathleen Sebelius, or a number of other MUCH more qualified Democratic women have their chance (and think Obama will pick one of them as his VP for his second term).

He is right, Obama needs to keep saying that at every town hall meeting at every rally, get it in the minds of voters, because its ridiculous, McCain liked Obama's theme of change so much he decided to make it his own, and he has been in Washington for more than 25 years and his party has controlled the White House for the past 8 years, and nothing good has been accomplished!

Palin (the communications major)pulled from campaigning alone

If she is not ready to be a VP candidate on day 1
she is not ready to be VP on day 1
if McCain falls she is definately not ready to be President on day 1

Now that's straight talk, but Obama is the one speaking it!

The McCain/Palin campaign ought to be ashamed of themselves thinking we're not paying attention! They're a bunch of hypocrites!

Why isn't Sarah Palin allowed to talk to the media, what is are the republicans afraid of that we'll find out more about? And affair that she had with her husbands best friend?

I don't know if McCain/Palin can change anything anymore than Obama/Biden can. I do know Obama can't cast stones at McCain for not changing anything in Washington when he is surrounding himself with people like Kennedy, Biden, Leahy, Reid, and Pelosi who have done absolutely nothing to change anything in ALL of their years in Washington. He also shouldn't be talking about lobbyists when the Democrats are just as guilty, albeit becoming quieter about it. The lobbyists will flock to Washington if Obama is elected after all of the deals he has made with labor unions, teacher unions, etc. Do people really think support thrown to him comes with no strings attached? I'm a realist, neither one is going to change much of anything, I've decided I'm just going with who I think is most trustworthy, which doesn't happen to be Obama at this point in time. At least McCain has gone against his own party on several occasions, more than can be said of Obama in the IL State Senate and his very short time in the US Senate. (I also can't stand his flip attitude when he gives performances like stated above - he doesn't know enough to be such a smart aleck yet.)

What is going on in Obama Camp ?

Howard Gutman, finance committe member chatised and rejected by Obama campaign for off-color remarks about Bristol Pain.

So did Gutman apologized in a statement to ABC News ?

shOcK !!!

mccain and palin wouldnt know change if it slapped them mccain had 26 years as senate to change did he no he followed bush and agreed with him 90 percent of the time mccain/palin= CHANGE YOU DONT WANT CHANGE YOU CANT BELIVE IN! GO OBAMA/BIDEN08

ANNA, in your entire list of the great Obama's accomplishments, you do not list ONE specific piece of legislation he has authored. You use the word "led" many times in your description of his accolades, how has he been able to lead anything when he has spent more than 50% of his elected term in the US Senate running for president? The only thing he has authored are two memoirs, both of which contain lies and exaggerations about his life. He is an eloquent speaker, and that is the ONLY reason he is where he is. Speaches only go so far, action speaks louder than words. How many pieces of legislation haas Obama vetoed in his life? How many Democrats has he stood up to, or fired when they are corrupt? Obama is a joke with NO experience. I also notice that the media, and people like yourself like to compare Obama's experience with the VP nominee and not the Presidential nominee for the Republicans. That is because Obama's two years in the senate are a joke compared to McCain's entire life of public service. Your arguments are very, very general and non-specific, just like your candidate.

It is being reported BO's denver thing discarded American Flags in the "trash". Boys Scouts have these and will bring to John McCain's rally in Colorado Springs. BO has disssed Small-Town America, his wife was not proud of America until a few months ago, and now he and supporters are throwing our American flags into the trash. What is wrong with this guy? We must learn now his reasons for doing this, before the election.

matter of fact, Mc CAIN has officially endorsed Obama!!!!!!!!

aWe !!!

Sarah Palin is very proud of McCain's support of the 'surge' in Iraq. Isn't she forgetting that if had not voted to support the war in Iraq we would not need a surge? Of course he supported the surge...he life is defined by war, as we heard (and heard, and heard) at the RNC.

A few people here seem to think Obama was the cleanup crew and personally threw out flags with the litter. Did McCain personally cleanup his convention, I bet they threw out flags too.

Obama does not do well when he is angry and feisty.

He does well in : throwing his folks under the bus !

The only way he going to recover in his falling polls is to throw BIDEN under the bus.

Now, that WILL be shOck and aWe !!!

did you guys here that Sarah Palin is being TUTORED on foreign policy? that is some scary sh-t!

With Russia, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, N. Korea...REAL THREATS...causing chaos, why would this woman so arrogantly decide she'd be ready to lead if she had to take over one day?

This woman is putting her self-interest above the interest of the American people. But no one should be surprised. This is a person who:

1. lied about her own record for political expediency.
2. paraded her own pregnant daughter and the father (both just teen-agers) onto the national spotlight for damage control, for her own political expediency.
3. is stalling now on an investigation for political expediency.

FOR ALL YOU REPUBLICANS WHO ALWAYS CRITICIZED HILLARY CLINTON FOR HER SHADY DEALINGS....WHY ARE YOU NOW SO HYPOCRITICALLY NOW EMBRACING SARAH PALIN? THIS WOMAN, NOW IT'S BEING REPORTED, EVEN HAD AN AFFAIR ON HER HUSBAND!!!!! THAT'S FAR WORSE THAN WHAT HILLARY HAS EVER DONE.

McCain/Palin 2008, you were going by "benvictor" on the other blog, changing your name doesn't make your distortions true.

That will be CHANGE we can BELIEVE in !!!

Obama and Biden need to play "hardball" and go for the jugulars of McCain and Palin. The Democrats lost the last election (despite the fact it was stolen) because they campaigned too civily. The Republicans are ruthless in their campaign tactics and know no boundaries of decency. If Obama is to win, he needs to get dirty and cut to the artery for the hemorrhage!

What a JOKE this Palin thing is!

McCain just trots his new "one trck pony" out on the stage and says look at her, isn't she smart, isn't she pretty!!

Don't look at me folks, just look at my new pony!!

McBush is still the same old tired guy with the same old tired ideas he had a little over a week ago. The only difference is now he has a new pony...

The sad thing is that the Republicans are ALL falling for it and falling all over themselves for Palin...

Vote for real leaders Obama/Biden '08!!

Obama has voted 99.99% time for Rev. Wright, for the last 20 years;

Obama has voted 99.99% time for Tony Rezco;

Obama is good friend of Detroit mayor.

What kind of change is he talking about?

How will Obama tell Washington to change? Send Biden?

Exactly!!!

McCain the "change" agent is a complete joke!

Sen. Obama continues to get the facts wrong as well as put up statistics that work against him. He says he is for change and Sen. McCain is not, quoteing Sen. McCains voting record. Yet he has voted with his party over 96% of the time according to congressional records. So that means Sen. McCain more for change than Sen Obama. Sen. Obama - find some facts that you can use!

Mccain/Palin '08-

are you really Karl Rove? Shouldn't you be in jail right now?

HEY Poster: McCain/Palin 2008 | Sep 6, 2008 2:28:42 PM

Political Stunt Trick Pony!!! The flags were intercepted from a worker, they are lieing about what he was doing with them! They told the worker they would recycle them for him and now are using them to say the DNC threw them out!!!
Liers!!!!!

JR...I AM WHO I AM.

For that article ... i just did a simple cut and paste so that I do not have to retype similar content. You can search this news in several mainstream news media.

I just did what Obama and Biden is good at all ... JUST WORDS !!!

Never under estimate a neo-con, they ALWAYS fall into the party line. Look at McCain, claims to be a "maverick" but votes party line 95% of the time. Republicans are go little nazis, always in lockstep.

AM...you are good...in which case, the DNC folks are DUMB and DUMBER than I thought they were to fall for that.

Cut and Paste huh,

Right benvictor, now the flags being discarded are being blamed on Obama?

Your question what is wrong this guy? Why do you attribute all negatives to Senator Obama? Why is that so easy for you, especially after the eight, fruitful years in this country?

Can you find something concrete to discuss or just continue with lies and innuendo?

How about we talk about how qualified McCain's vp pick is, lets talk about that!
Lets talk about how it took her 6 yrs and 6 different schools to complete a 4 yr degree in journalism with a minor in sportscasting, and the republicans want to place her as #2 in this country. Let's talk about THAT.
Lets talk about how the republicans want to put someone in control that has no knowledge, no education, and no experience on foreign policy. Lets talk about something that truly matters. Not a piece of cloth.

Obama adopted the "Change" theme because when the Democrats did their market research, "change" was what the country wanted. Of course, change for Obama means more bureauracy and more taxes and government playing a bigger role, which will create all kinds of opportunities for insiders to get on the band wagon (people like Jim Johnson). However, McCain will make changes by decreasing government's role.

By the way, Obama keeps saying McCain did not address any economic issues in his acceptance speech. What a numbnut! Energy is an economic issue and effects everything. A while back Obama blamed the economic squeeze of high gas prices not on the price itself but because the American people did not have time to absorb it. Meaning, he supported high gas prices as a means for conservation. Like I said, he's a numbnut.

Who is obama? What has he done for America or Americans?

Why is he friends with Terrorist Ayers and Dhorn?

Why is he friends with Convicted criminal Rezko?

Why is he friends with Fraud Mayor Kilpartick who is in jail now?

Why did he sit 20 year in racist church and with Radical pastor Wright?

Why is he friends with Islam Farrakhan?

If any American flags were dumped in the garbage to be found by McCain/Palin 2008, they were planted by their Operation Chaos operatives who tried to destroy the Democratic Convention 'thing'.
Do you rotten people do anything but plan smears and dirty tricks?
We want Obama's CHANGE. We want decency for a change. Obama/Biden 2008

This is what Howard Gutman said, during an interview with Laura Ingraham.

(He was questioning Gov. Palin's decision to thrust her daughter into the national spotlight)

- "This has nothing to do with gender, whether Todd Palin was the nominee or Sarah Palin was the nominee,” Gutman said. “If my daughter had just come home at 17 years old and said, ‘Mom, Dad, I’m pregnant, we have a family problem,’ I wouldn’t say, ‘You know what we’re going to do? We’re going to take this private family problem…and you know what I’m going to do? I’m going to go on the international stage and broadcast this to the world.’”

- Gutman continued, “this wasn’t a working mother issue, this was a parent issue…The proper attack is not that a woman shouldn’t run for vice president with five kids, it’s that a parent, when they have a family in need, a Down’s baby who needs them — mother or father.”

- “So you are judging her parenting skills,” Ingraham said. “You’re saying you don’t think she’s a good parent for doing this job.”

- “I’m saying the proper criticism is not that it’s a woman or man – it doesn’t matter whether it’s Todd or Sarah,” Gutman said.

========================================

Frankly, I think a lot of Americans have been having similar thoughts. Views like this have been expressed "around the kitchen table" across the country, in both Republican & Democratic families. Its NOT a partisan view.

You can disagree with what Gutman said, but there is nothing SHOCKING in it.

Karl Rove I AM NOT.

I AM WHO I AM.

is it not sexist that Palin has been relegated to chearleader because McCain cannot reise a croud?
Palin (the communications major)pulled from campaigning alone

If she is not ready to be a VP candidate on day 1
she is not ready to be VP on day 1
if McCain falls she is definately not ready to be President on day 1

Dear Sarah Palin,

When are you going to give a press conference? I mean you do actually have your own thoughts right?

All I have seen you do is read the speeches that are being written for you!

Prove the you are not just a "one trick pony!!"

More cut and paste:

Now I understand the change the republicans are talking about. You guys have zero credibility, you can't be trusted to do whats right for this country. We see that in the pick of Palin.
If the democrats would have selected someone with the credentials of Sarah Palin they would STILL be screaming about how unqualified they are.

People are sick of the republican hypocrisy. Wasn't it bill-o that called the Spears parents pinheads because the young is pregnant? But somehow now praise the Palin's in the same situation?

We are disgusted with the republican hypocrisy.

Mary said "After all, there is a Reparation to Blacks for Slavery with a cost of 1.4 trillion dollars on Obama's agenda. "

What the> is that what is coming up from the republican smear machine now? the Obama will raise your taxes lie isn't holding water, so let's race bait? This is not an agenda item for the Obama campaign or the democrats. This is an outright LIE. I never thought I'd see the party of Lincoln, so desperate as to bring back the scare the white folk tactic. Shame SHAME.

Mary; What's the population of Alaska? They have more caribou than people. Oh and after we pay reparation to all the blacks, we're going to give them all the jobs and let them camp out on the White House lawn, maybe let a few sleep in the Lincoln bedroom. OMG Black people in the Whie House...Uppity aren't they? HAHA

Sue,
I would agree with you but the same can be said of Sen. Obama, and he will be stepping right into the Presidency. Do you really think he knows everything as a result of being IL state senator and US Senator for only a year before spending most of his time campaigning? Do you think he is not, and has not been, getting brought up to speed on foreign policy? I'm still comparing the 2 Presidential candidates, not Palin against Obama. Frankly, I think Obama made a gigantic mistake not taking Hillary on board and a lot of the silly arguments would have been null and void. Too bad his stubbornness got in the way. We have had one stubborn president for the past 8 years, don't need another one that puts pride above what's best for the country. Clinton/Biden would have been the best possible ticket...too bad.

Obama's camp and followers can hope and believe in change all they want - McCain and Palin can and will actually make it happen.

McCain/Palin - Doers not talkers.

McCain has at least as much credibility as Obama/Biden when it comes to change. But none of them can hold a candle for Palin when it comes to fighting the status quo.

Well said Senator Obama! Perhaps the new change that we will see with Senator McCain will be less change in the pockets of the middle class hard working people and more change in the pockets of the sharks who preyed on this economy and rode to success at the cost of hardship of the middle class by sending jobs abroad, outsourcing work that put millions of Americans out of a job. Further change will be in the level of debt with the numbers changed recently to $9 trillion. The change the Governor of Alaska brings is a dramatic shift to the ultra right pulling Senator McCain along with her.

It is now 8 days since Gov. Palin was announced as McCain's running-mate.

She has yet to agree to an interview, or give an unscripted press conference.

8 days and counting...

Gov. Palin is the "poster child" of the new Republican party - but that's all she is - a poster. All image, no substance.

I'm looking for a decent job! but next time I go for an interview God forbid dont ask for past experience because I have an answer Sarah Parin!!

Just reporting the facts ..

The Obama campaign rejected Gutman’s comments.

“Obviously these comments do not reflect our frequently stated, crystal-clear view that families of the candidates should be off limits, and we hope that supporters on both sides will act accordingly,” Obama spokesman Bill Burton said in an e-mail, pointing out that Gutman has apologized in a statement to ABC News.

McCain presents no Trojan risk. Why among so many new black star politicians, the Dem ended up choosing someone who is not certain American, Indonesian or Kenyan?

When people make moronic comments such as: "Palen has been running the biggest state with an approval rate of 82% just yesterday............ After all, there is a Reparation to Blacks for Slavery with a cost of 1.4 trillion dollars on Obama's agenda."

You really know they are beyond help.

There should be a test before allowing people to register to vote.

Unfortunately, in a free country, even morons are given the right to vote.

what the hell is Cindy wearing and how much did the elite keeper of McCain paid for it?

McCain running on "change is coming"
now that's original

Davis, she's not going to give a face to face press conference because a reporter might ask her a question. She can't put her foot in her mouth if she keeps it closed. Kinda gutless, but no one has ever claimed republicans are dumb. They're just evil.

they are tripping over themselves over Palin

McCain the POW looking for his MIA VP

"George, come quick....there are BLACK people knocking at the door"said Laura."George did you hire some new help?"cried Laura.

What is S Palin hiding that she does not want to give a press interview?

For crying out loud, Mary, what kind of crap are you spouting? Obama has not, and never will, endorse slavery reparations. Only a paranoid right wing freak could believe that. Grow up, pay attention, stop bloviating your fears and join us at the grown-ups' table.

Yeah...a new campaign theme...whining over the fact that Mccain is using his "change" mantra! I remember Hillary and the rest of her idiotic entourage had to reinvent her constantly when she began to slip in the polls! It didn't work for her and it won't work for him either! Obama will reinvent himself some more in the weeks to come! It won't matter because in the end it comes down what you are selling; not how you package it! No O-bull!

Besides all BS coming from the left they are also saying that Obama is a bright man.Well.. quite honestly he is not.Some times he sounds like the retard.But this is not the most important thing...the most important thing that his friend in Detroit is going to jail and Obama is the next... REZKO .

What kind of change is Obama who picked same old Biden as his running mate?

.

Obama and his follower's main topic is 'eight more years of the same'. This is aimed at the gullible, as history shows the both democrats and republicans have made great Presidents. It's the man and his principles that have allowed this, nit the party. But then the democrats can't sell the man very well because of his baggage.

.

I this election is about baggage then McCain wins because he has most baggage!
and now inherits some of Palin's too

The population of the "great" state of Alaska is about 670,000 and I would remind people that they reaped big revenues from the sky high Oil prices. It isn't hard to run a small state with a big surplus and don't forget the 600 million Palin got from Uncle Sugar. She hates earmarks unless they're coming her way.

Simple...

McCain uses his candidacy and his career to promote change...

Obama uses change to promote his candidacy and his career...

Sarah Palin is the perfect example of change...

Old Joe Biden is...

Where is Old Joe Biden, anyway?

Maverick McCain? Nope. Gelding, plain and simple. He surrendered his testicles to Karl Rove and Rove now has them on his key chain. The gelding will soon be put out to pasture and Rove's braying little filly will be sent back to Alaska where she belongs.

By the way, Michael. Your post sounds like a tape recording of the Sean Hannity Show. Don't you have any thoughts, ideas or words of your own?

God this is going to be fun. Sarah Palin, The GOP's early Christmas gift to the Democrats.

Obama was recruited by the extreme Left Liberals Socialism or Communism alike and with a strong back support from the Muslim Americans called by Qadafi, and Barack Hussein Obama's change is the wrong change. He will steal/rob our hard earning amd you will see. Big government spending is Obama's strategy.

I am Libetarian, a former Hillary's supporter, and I will Vote for McCain/Palin.

Obama has no executive experiences but bragged about it.

He conveniently forgets that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats have been in charge of Congress for the last 2 years and have obstructed offshore drilling and other initiatives by the Republicans.

The Repugnants are beyond shameful..and are about to hijack another election. When will people take a stand against the religious fanatics of the red states??? Take a stand or watch this great country descend into nazism.

Obama understand the economic situation of america more than McSame who does not even no how many houses he has and he thinks a middle class family earns less than $5m per year.

Obama is addressing the main issues while McSame is attacking personalities. McSame is truelly the same as Bush.

McCain + Palin = McPain

Obama has the experience necessary. He is an eloquent spaker, and not only well educated but intelligent. These are charateristics necesasry to represent the USA to the rest of the world. I will be proud to have him as my President because the past eight years have been a laugh and we have been laughed at by the rest of the world

The problem is the American people have not had the benefit of the true facts about Palin.

For example she was in favor of the bridge to nowhere until she saw it was an issue and then changed her position because she felt she would lose the election.

She is supports the windfall profits tax on the oil company's in Alaska which has given every man, women and child $3000 this year. McCain does not support windfal proit tax.

She took away money from parents for support of children with disabilities. Of course that was before she had a child with disabilities.

She cut real estate taxes, however that was for residential and all corporations including large. In the mean time increased sales tax. The end result the residents picked up the bill for the tax cut while the large corporations got a huge tax cut.

This is just a few examples of her "great record.

Before you make up your mind, you need to dig deeper than what you see.

Billw...I agree! That is what I was talking about! New themes arent going to erase those images of Rev Wright God damning our country...and Michelle only just now being proud to be an American....even after her big earmark payraise and Rezko and Ayers and drug use and alleged homosexual affairs and on and on...Not what I want in my next President!

RON PAUL go more votes than

MITT ROMNEY WON.

Obama proved that he is such a hypocrat talking about change, he picked same old liar "Biden". Is the change that he talks about are for terrorist Ayers? for radical pastor Wright? for fraud mayor Kilpatrick who is in jail? for Dohrn the terrorist? for muslim Iraqui nadmi Auchi? for convicted criminal Rezko? for Islamist Farrakhan? for tnti-social elements Black Panthers?

More taxes? more government? more of affirmative action? more control? less jobs? less growth?

Can Obama keep us safe and secure from Fundamental Islamic Terrorists?

I doubt this guy.

Safest choice is McCain and Palin who proved that he is the real reformer and embodiment of change in this election by picking up new star Palin as his running mate.
God bless america and save us all.

Listen up Obamabots:

The risk John McCain took a week ago Friday is comparable to the 72-year-old ex-fighter pilot knocking back two shots and flying his A-4 under the Golden Gate Bridge.

McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his co-pilot was the biggest gamble in presidential history.

As of now, it is paying off, big-time.

The sensational selection in Dayton, Ohio, stepped all over the big story from Denver – Obama's powerful address to 85,000 cheering folks in Mile High Stadium, and 35 million nationally, a speech that vaulted him from a 2-point deficit early in the week to an 8-point margin.

Obama had never before reached 49 percent against McCain.

As the Democrats were being rudely stepped on, however, Palin ignited an explosion of enthusiasm among conservatives, evangelicals, traditional Catholics, gun owners and right to lifers not seen in decades.

By passing over his friends Joe Lieberman and Tom Ridge, and picking Palin, McCain has given himself a fighting chance of winning the White House that, before Friday morning, seemed to be slipping away.

Indeed, the bristling reaction on the left testifies to Democrat fears that the choice of Palin could indeed be a game-changer in 2008.

Liberals howl that Palin has no experience, no qualifications to be president of the United States.

But the lady has more executive experience than McCain, Joe Biden and Obama put together.

None of them has ever started or run a business as Palin did.

None of them has run a giant state like Alaska, which is larger than California and Texas put together.

And though Alaska is not populous, Gov. Palin has as many constituents as Nancy Pelosi or Joe Biden.

She has no foreign policy experience, we are told.

And though Alaska's neighbors are Canada and Russia, the point is valid.

But from the day she takes office, Palin will get daily briefings and sit on the National Security Council with the president and secretaries of state, treasury and defense.

She will be up to speed in her first year.

And her experience as governor of Alaska, dealing with the oil industry and pipeline agreements with Canada, certainly compares favorably with that of Barack Obama, a community organizer who dealt in the mommy issues of food stamps and rent subsidies.

Where Obama has poodled along with the Daley Machine, Palin routed the Republican establishment, challenging and ousting a sitting GOP governor before defeating a former Democratic governor to become the first female and youngest governor in state history.

For his boldness in choosing Palin, McCain deserves enormous credit.

He has made an extraordinary gesture to conservatives and the party base, offering his old antagonists a partner's share in his presidency.

And his decision is likely to be rewarded with a massive and enthusiastic turnout for the McCain-Palin ticket.

Rarely has there been such an outburst of enthusiasm on the right.

In choosing Palin, McCain may also have changed the course of history as much as Ike did with his choice of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan did with his choice of George H.W. Bush.
