McCain Going Back to New Hampshire to Begin Final Round of Campaigning
October 31, 2008 11:53 AM
ABC news’ Ron Claiborne Reports: Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., will kick off the final 24 hours of campaigning in New Hampshire Sunday night.
It sounds like this foray is more a reflection of McCain's superstitious nature or nostalgia than realistic expectation of winning. A University of New Hampshire-WMUR poll released yesterday showed Sen. Barack Obama up 54%-to 36%.
Democratic presidential nominee, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., carried the Granite State in 2004. New Hampshire was, of course, the state that boosted his 2000 campaign with an 18 point win in the primary, and re-ignited his 2008 campaign with a win in January.
It was in Portsmouth, N.H. the night before he defeated then Gov. George W. Bush in the 2000 primary, where he found the "lucky nickel" he carries in his pocket (sometimes it's a penny).
On Monday, McCain will make seven campaign stops, culminating in a rally that night in Arizona.

If you have any doubt what phony, hypocrisy is, you simply just look at 0bama.
On one hand, he lectures his subsidiaries selfishness, charity, contribution to the common good of the society.
On the other hand, he panders his blind followers by bribery, cash giveaways, $1000 if you vote for him.
He promises to take care of you, giving you opportunities to get into the middle class; yet, he leaves his own brother in poverty at $1 per month in his homeland, his aunt on the streets of Boston.
Mr. Bush answers the call of a Higher Father and you know what he has done in the past 8 years.
Mr. 0bama has his own Higher Father, and he is Karl Marx.

So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs."
In Alaska, residents pay no income tax or state sales tax. They receive a yearly dividend check from a $30 billion state investment account built largely from royalties on its oil. When home fuel and gas costs soared last year, Palin raised taxes on big oil and used some of the money to boost residents' checks by $1,200. Thus every eligible man, woman and child got a record $3,269 this fall.
"And Alaska we're set up, unlike other states in the union, where it's collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs."

Bush answers the call the call of a higher father??? Lie to the public about WMD's, call it an imminent danger, have over 4000 brave young American's killed and then never admit the mistake!!!! I don't know what God he worships, but that isn't the Christian God I worship. When you mention hypocrisy in action that is the neo-con way of life, so don't even go there.

Wow, that's great Geevill. LOL. Nice that McSame could win something.

He's probably here to help Sununu and Bradley - they're closing on their opponents. I guess he's also headed to Northern Maine (a very strange place, with an Air Force base) to try to pick up a single EV, in case he gets ALL of the swing states plus Pennsylvania AND Ohio and he needs a tie-breaker.
This used to be McCain country, back in 2000. The 2008 version of McCain, not so much.

After Tuesday, he can go from NH to AZ. He won't be going to DC, UC?

Hi, I'm from Manchester. Manchester is a very strong Republican area of the state. If you read a little more about the bobbleheads thing you will find that McCain only won by 32 bobbleheads out of 2000. If I were McCain, I'd be worried!

If McCain and Palin had run an honest campaign instead of a disgusting onslaught of lies and character assassinations we would not have to listen to moronic Fox News watchers repeating this crap like it was fact.
McCain's little routine on Larry King where he pretended not to know who Khalidi was a perfect example.

In response to d0:
Dude you sound like a real hater, relax, if we barely survived Bush Era, we will be okay with Obama!

I’m not working in a political campaign. I am a conservative Christian, but I will vote for Obama. He has run a brilliant campaign which I hope is indicative of the way he’d manage our nation. McCain’s campaign has been sloppy, unstable with a murky version of Bush economic. Since he seems to know little except war, all McCain can do is savagely attack and libel Obama.
Also, McCain has an extremely immoral personal past. Cindy, his wife, confessed to drug addiction and theft of drugs. Then there’s Palins‘s pregnant, teenage, unmarried daughter. If McCain wins, can’t you imagine the tabloid headlines? Constant jokes about Sarah Palin’s lack of knowledge. Questions about McCain’s adulteries. Will Cindy be back on drugs? Will the 18 year old shotgun groom stay with Bristol? What a terrible example for young people.

Where are Sarah Palin's medical records?
Posted by: TakingPictures | Oct 31, 2008 12:46:00 PM
Are you better off now than you were eight years ago? Is your standard of living better? Have Bush's tax cut for the wealthiest 2% done one single thing to help you? Have those tax cuts created good jobs for Americans? Are we winning the war in Afghanistan, where the 9/11 attacks came from?
If you answered "yes," then vote McCain/Palin, because you're going to get more of the same.
But if you, like most Americans, answered "no," if you're sick and tired of being left out, of watching the wealthiest Americans get richer, while the middle class loses their jobs and their homes, if you are a military family who has a loved one seeing their deployment time continually increase, if you believe that we actually *need* to get Osama bin Laden for what he did to us on 9/11, then vote Barack Obama and Joe Biden on November 4!
Give this country back to working-class Americans! Give this country back to people who work hard and play by the rules! Vote Obama/Biden!

___________________________________________
How sad, how pathetically sad, you may think that bush answers a call, but I am deadly sure it is not to a "higher" father. What's my proof? His actions. "They will know we are Christians by our love." Where is the love? All I see is hate, destruction, stealing of peoples hopes and dreams, and above all death.
You my friend have been deceived by the great "deceiver." I will pray for your clarity and understanding.
Christ was never about such death and destruction. I will pray that the next time you read the gospel you read it with your eyes open. Otherwise, I fear that when you do meet Christ his response for you will be "..You never knew me."

I used to support Barack Obama, but senior voters should support Sen. McCain, because Sen. Obama's plans are dangerous for our most economically vulnerable: the retired. Sen. Obama has no clue how the financial industry works; he just knows how to criticize Sen. McCain. When Sen. McCain went back to Washington to do his job as a Senator to tackle the financial crisis, he called him "erratic." His response, it turns out, wasn't just "call me if you need me" and "phone it in," but he told his advisors, "tell me what works, and I will sell it." He's got no brain; he claims to have good judgement, but what he does is rely on advisors. Which is nice and good, but let's look at the advisors he has called "respected scholars," end quote: Spiriual advisor: Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Community advisor: ACORN. Education reform advisor: Bill Ayers. Economic Advisor: Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson. Foreign affairs advisor: Rashid Khalidi. John McCain? against political safety, Gen. David Petraeus. now that's good judgement!
on the issue of retirement standard of living, Barack Obama only mock and ridicules "trickle down economics." let's talk about "trickle down economics." "trickle down economics" is a derogatory term used to demogogue Pres. Regan's supply-side economic theory, which has proven to be good and right. as opposed to Barack Obama's "trickle-up economics," spread-the-wealth-around economics, if you will, is as follows. Let's take the healthcare issue for example. If Sen. Obama carries out his plan, he will put the full financial force of the most wealthy institution in the history of the world, the federal government of the United States of America, even though it is bankrupt, to spend on healthcare. That is demand side economics; everyone will have the means to buy healthcare. However, the supply of healthcare will be stagnant. whether we have a shortage of hospitals and doctors is irrelevant, but what we do NOT have is a surplus of doctors and hospitals, so what will happen is healtcare, in the short term, will have to be rationed. If you need a hip replacement, or bypass surgery, or an MRI right now, you can get in line and kiss it goodbye. In the mid-term, we can't build hospitals overnight, and we can't train doctors overnight, so if you plan on getting a hip replacement, or bypass surgery, or an MRI, within, say, the next 5 years, you can get in line and kiss it goodbye, because we're not getting more doctors and hospitals than we otherwise would in 5 years; it takes at least a decade to fully train a new generation of doctors from the child saying, "I want to be a doctor" at 18 years old. In the long-run, Sen. Obama wants to raise taxes on doctors, who typicall make more than the average American, and hospitals, because they are generally C-class corporations. We don't have a surplus of doctor-incentives right now; they don't make more than they deserve after primary school, grade school, intermediate school, high school, college, pre-med, medical school, rotation, and practice. Raising their taxes aren't going to encourage them to become doctors when, say, becoming a banker is far easier, and raising corporate taxes aren't going to encourage bankers to build hospitals when building, say, porno studios are easier. so if you plan on ever getting a hip replacement, or bypass surgery, or an MRI in America at any point in your life, under Sen. Obama's trickle-up spread-the-wealth-around plan, you can get in line and kiss it goodbye. Did you see their proposed retirement plan? In addition to mandatorily the Social Security Administration, which is quite possibly the worst retirement vehicle in the world, Sen. Obama, Sen. Reid, and Spkr. Pelosi want to make a 5% investment in Federal Treasury Bills, Federal T-Bills, the second worst investment in the world and soon to be first from the downward pressure of a mandatory gross income 5% investment, mandatory off your paycheck! That's not a retirement plan, that's grand larceny... "you have to give me your money for your retirement." and finally, did you see Sen. Obama say, in defense of his refundable-tax-credit being a welfare check, that "income tax isn't the only tax you pay, there are payroll taxes, too." Payroll taxes: they go to medicare and social security. It's hard enough for me to pay for my own healthcare, it's hard enough for me to pay for my retirement... Sen. Obama wants me, a taxpayer, to pay for some non-taxpayer's retirement and healtcare, and he won't let me call that socialism. and he won't let me call that welfare.
