You are not what you say you are. You are what you have done.

Obama has never and will never buck his party.

He is simply full of it.

How can we believe you will buck your party as president when you voted 97% of the time with your own party?

Can we take a 3% chance? And McCain voted 88% with the Pubs. At Harvard, did they teach you that 12% was greater than 3%?

"Obama has already shown that he will work with Republicans."

This is just just plain silly.

No he won't - he will do exactly as his puppet masters say - Axelrod, Biden, Pelosi, Dean, Kerry, Brazile and God Help Him, Kennedy.

Also, let us not forget his two greatest advisors, Michelle and dear, dear Granny - who was pulled out from under the bus briefly for a campaign ad and then thrown back.

We know Obama cannot do or say anything without "direction", a script and a teleprompter.

PUMA! McCain/Palin 2008 - In lieu of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Yeah right. Another lie from Obama. I am shocked. He tells people what he thinks they want to hear.

Obama will and has gone against his party and general public opinion by saying that the Iraq war was the wrong war to be fighting. He said it long before it was a popular thing for people to say and he said it while he was a candidate for office. Obama has the courage, the fortitude, and the intelligence to lead this country. Most of all he will not make rash decisions that put our country at risk and he will not lie to us...something that Bush/McCain/Palin seem to have no problem doing.

Sarah Palin threw her entire family under the bus by allowing her political ambition to make them a public spectacle and fodder for tabloid magazines.

Obama has not bucked anything in his career thus far. This Obama cannot stop lying.

This is the interview in which Sen. Obama says, "...my Muslim faith..." is it not?

Does he even know who or what he is? Republican or Democrat? Muslim or Christian? For the war or against the war? For drilling or against drilling?
For FISA or against FISA? For public financing or against public financing?

The list goes on. And, what I most want to know is he Pro American or Anti America?

With friends like Wright and Ayers, it's a valid question.

And, a question which has not been answered to my satisfaction. Even though I disagree with McCain/Palin, at least I know from where they're coming.

And, I don't worry that they don't like this country very much, as I do with Sen. Obama.

I don't understand what convention folks were watching when they wrote the RNC "never mentioned the middle class, healtcare, or jobs at their recent convention." I highly recommend to either "read" the transcript of McCain's speech, or watch a video of his speech!

He did address these areas!

"My health care plan will make it easier for more Americans to find and keep good health care insurance."

"Keeping taxes low helps small businesses grow and create new jobs. Cutting the second highest business tax rate in the world will help American companies compete and keep jobs from moving overseas."

"Doubling the child tax exemption from $3500 to $7000 will improve the lives of millions of American families."

"Reducing government spending and getting rid of failed programs will let you keep more of your own money to save, spend and invest as you see fit."

"Opening new markets and preparing workers to compete in the world economy is essential to our future prosperity."

"I know some of you have been left behind in the changing economy and it often seems your government hasn’t even noticed. Government assistance for unemployed workers was designed for the economy of the 1950s. That’s going to change on my watch. My opponent promises to bring back old jobs by wishing away the global economy. We’re going to help workers who’ve lost a job that won’t come back, find a new one that won’t go away."

"We will prepare them for the jobs of today. We will use our community colleges to help train people for new opportunities in their communities. For workers in industries that have been hard hit, we'll help make up part of the difference in wages between their old job and a temporary, lower paid one while they receive retraining that will help them find secure new employment at a decent wage."

"Education is the civil rights issue of this century. Equal access to public education has been gained. But what is the value of access to a failing school? We need to shake up failed school bureaucracies with competition, empower parents with choice, remove barriers to qualified instructors, attract and reward good teachers, and help bad teachers find another line of work."

Obama bucking anything... hmmm... he has such a long strong record of... oh wait, he doesn't have a long record of anything... except self-promotion...

He said he was against the war before he had any power to make a difference to the Senate vote. By the way, we only have his "word" he said that he would not support the war. No tape exists of that momentous event.

He also later said he agreed with Bush’s policy and conduct of the war, but that was later scrubbed from his site.

When he came to the Senate he voted to support the war. As quoted by Hillary Clinton, “So I think that once you’re in a position of responsibility and you actually have to be counted by what you do or what you look for, his record is the same as many of us.”

Then, after beating Hillary up for her vote on the war (while allowing himself to be endorsed by people like Daschle and Kerry, who voted for the war) he turned around and selected as his VEEP, Biden, who ALSO supported the war...

Yeah, Obama is a man of his convictions, all right, can't say enough about his "courage" in opposing all things he thinks is wrong...

Obama's opinions change like the weather and just about as often. True student of Kerry, first I was for, before I was against...

I guess that is what he means by change and “bucking the party” …
Spare me.

______________________________________

Considering that Palin was already givernor of Alaska you can say that her daughter Bristol threw her family under the bus by getting pregnant out of wedlock knowing that her mother was a political figure. You argument is lame. You can say that about any public figure. It comes with the territory. If the Obamabots are so concerned about the welfare of Palin's family then stop bringing them up. I am sure they are proud of Sarah just like Obama's girls are proud of him.

1. When George S. asks a question, let the interviewee answer it! Too big of an idiot to be covering campaigns.

2. Goldgirlusa - voting for McCain so that Hillary can have a chance in 2012 has got to be the most moronic thing stated on this page. NO ONE is worth 4 more Bush-twin years. Clearly you have no idea of how much damage can be done in 4 little years.

3. Obama Supporter - read your post. Take your medication, man! You're sounding like some hold-over, LSD droppin', Black Panther from the 60's. I am not a McCain supporter, but it's rabbid, over the top ranting like yours that gives Repubs momentum. Regain your rationality and sanity, and don't paint all racists as white. Don't know your ethicity and don't care, but you are coming across as racist against whites and painting them all as racists and as republicans. Yes, in case it never occurred to you, racist is a person against certain RACES, not just whites against blacks.

4. If the "Geraldine F. Club" votes McCain just because his running mate is a woman, they will be proving to the he-man-woman-hater's club that they are right about how stupid women are. I think women are smarter and will make an intelligent choice. If we were going to vote based on gender, Hillary would be the nominee instead of Obama.

5. Original Pechanga - Of course Obama didn't break with the party in the senate - that would have been siding with Bush. What he said is that he has ideas that will not be popular with some Dems. If you're going to rant, then listen before you do.

6. At this point, the polls mean nothing. It's the polls three weeks out from election that will be the barometer.

7. In the days of Lincoln, the GOP used to be just that, the Grand Ol' Party. Now, it's a platform for the religious right. Back in the days when debates were intelligent and campaigns were truly about issues and intelligent discussion. When will we be smart enough to get religion out of politics. No one ever asked Lincoln if he believed in God, and no one expected him to make decisions based on religious faith. If you require expressions of faith from your candidates, you are begging to be lied to.

8. Saying Palin has foreign relations/national security experience because her state is so close to Russia is the same as saying Arnold does, too, because he's Austrian and California is close to Mexico, and all the north border governors do as well because they are close to Canada. If this is what McCain calls national security experience, we really should be terrified now!

Some ridiculous comments here from the Palinistas / McSamers, totally devoid of logic.

So let me put it simply:

McCain's party is the INCUMBENT that has driven the agenda in Washington for the last 8 year. They represent the status-quo.

Obama's party is the CHALLENGER that just by not being the incumbent and by opposing the incumbents on most major issues, represents change by definition.

By voting with his party, even if he is voting with his party 100% of the time, Obama is still voting for change in Washington.

But by McCain voting with his party 90% of the time, he has certainly not been voting for change!

Get it?

Do you think that Obama misspoke and "buck" was not the word he really meant? Let's all ask Chris Matthews.

Obama will buck ANYTHING that keeps him from being number one. Including: Grandma, his UNCLE, THE REAL DEMOCRATS, WOMEN, WoRKING CLASS. Yeah, he's a real uniter that one. Boy, he dropped that theme like a hot potato didn't he. He used it to bring in the idealist, then reality hit. The real Obama promotes division by sex, race, class and now he's trying religion.

Obama may buck his party if elected but will he buck the terrorists, criminals, sex deviates and religious crazies that he has keep close all his adult life? I doubt it. They are sitting in the wings just waiting.
What change?-- He will bring in the Chicago/Illinois type of hoodlums to the Washington scene. I guess that is the change we will see.

Disappointed in Stephanopolis this a.m. No one spoke of s. Palin's qualifications. Talked around it. I guess they haven't read the IReport on Fri. where a constituant from Alaska cites other "firings" during her administration....looks like a pattern. this election is too important to take a chance on someone with a bad temper.
A Republican.

He didn't say he'd reduce healthcare litigation costs, he said he'd work on "how to reduce litigation costs", and specifically failed to answer Stephanopolous' follow-up question about Tort Reform.

Obama has taken millions of dollars from the same group of Trial Lawyers who put John Edwards into position, and has never, ever voted against Tort Reform in his entire career.

Isn't this a huge potential liability in his campaign?
