Articles like this one are part of the MSM's attempts to help Obama win this election. This particular strategy is called "Let's create an air of inevitability for Barack's election." Pro-Obama journalists try to convince McCain supporters that the election is lost, hoping they won't bother to get out and vote. Polls are skewed to make Obama's election seem inevitable. Like the following network Poll: 87% of Democrats support Obama. Really? I don't think so. I know too many Democrats who are voting for McCain to believe that little bit of poll data.

again

MccainKeating s&l a trillion dollars gone

McCainBush Iraq a trillion dollars gone

McCain Gramm deregulation (AGAIN! ugh)

a trillion dollars gone...

Meanwhile we as a country go down the tubes as they destroy us.

Get angry.

Throw these bums out!!!!

John McCain needs to get Super-Mavericky. If that doesn't work, he needs to get Super Duper Mavericky!

People do notice.

Those who mislead are not leaders.

McCain has shown he is not a leader.

If the mainstream media had vetted Obama properly, the McCain camp wouldn’t have to talk about his radical ties. Imagine if Hillary or McCain had announced their Senate campaigns in the home of an American communist who bombed government buildings? Imagine if Hillary or McCain had spent 20 years in a church that condemned Jews, whites and the United States government? They would have been out of the race months ago. I applaud the McCain campaign for finally bringing out these things about Obama. They are doing what the MSM should have done months ago. The MSM is the big loser in this election. More and more people are tuning into Fox and conservative talk radio – to get the real news. I’m one of those people, and I’ve NEVER voted for a Republican candidate in my entire life – until now.

Don't you mean a few weeks ago, when the election was not yet UNFAIRLY drifting Obama's way because of the current economic crisis that Obama and his Democratic counterparts appear to be the root cause of??

Obama, through his radical ties at ACORN, and his tactics training of their foot soldiers, who launched pressure attacks on banks and lending agencies in order to have them make home loans to unqualified borrowers, as well as his Democratic counterparts in Congress, particularly the Black Caucus, who refused to see the Fannie/Freddie problem even when it was staring them in the face, were one of the primary factors behind the economic meltdown, but yet Obama appears to be the beneficiary of the crisis, rather than appropriately receiving part of the blame.

In additioin, there appears to be rampant election fraud already developing in this race, once again through foot soldiers of ACORN, whom the Obama campaign was caught undeclaredly funneling $800,000 of campaign donations to in August. Every day there appears to be a new state reporting underhanded doings of ACORN regarding early voting and voter registration.

The MSM has fallen terribly short in their duty to the American public during this election by their obvious bias towards Obama, and their non-reporting of these off-color, if not illegal, activities.

If liberal America, the liberal media, and these far left liberal "community organizing" groups are not careful, the outcome of this election might end up in the lap of the U.S. Supreme Court, just like the 2000 election did.

And we all know how that one came out.

Michelle Did It

I believe BO will not release his undergraduate transcripts for good reason. So how did he get through Harvard Lawschool? Michelle. She graduated from Lawschool in 1988 and BO graduated in 1991. He was a summer associate at the lawfirm where she was employed. She was assigned as his mentor. They married in 1992.

Michelle has the smarts and BO is dumb as a Bush box of rocks.

and Karl

on that idea

Mccain wouldn't be near the election because we would know the backgrounds of Davis, Black, Keating,
Questioned Mccain and showed his clips of him saying we should go into Iraq right after the day of September 11.

and we would know very clearly that Palin was a moron who got elected on fluff and looks ...not substance

and that her approval rating has to do with an oil economy dependent state seeing windfalls so she could put in place a dem idea and get the windfall profits on the backs of the rest of us...

to increase their budget by 60%

an increase that they are just now seeingf the hangover on.

this is ridiculous

same team
same tactics

9th year

get angry

throw these bums out who have been destroying our nation by distraction and lies...and stupidity.

this is a joke

I have to agree with Karl.Give or take the MSM has been the biggest loser of this election.Whatever the political persuasion of an individual we like the news to be unbiased even if it does not please us.Extremes on either side are not good.Obama has been the beneficiary this season ,someone else will be next time.This loathing of the media is not what will hold them in the long run.

McCain decision to personally attack Obama will be his last erratic move in his campaign; it will totally sink his ship. McCain has decided that the mavericky thing to do is to swift boat Obama by playing the guilt by association game. Great idea, Senator Straight Talk...but it's no fun to play alone, so let's add a couple of more players:

There's McCain's association with G. Gordon Liddy:

Liddy served four and a half years in prison in connection with his conviction for his role in the Watergate break-in and the break-in at the office of the psychiatrist of Daniel Ellsberg, the military analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers. Liddy has acknowledged preparing to kill someone during the Ellsberg break-in "if necessary"; plotting to murder journalist Jack Anderson; plotting with a "gangland figure" to murder Howard Hunt to stop him from cooperating with investigators; plotting to firebomb the Brookings Institution; and plotting to kidnap "leftist guerillas" at the 1972 Republican National Convention -- a plan he outlined to the Nixon administration using terminology borrowed from the Nazis. (The murder, firebombing, and kidnapping plots were never carried out; the break-ins were.) During the 1990s, Liddy reportedly instructed his radio audience on multiple occasions on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents and also reportedly said he had named his shooting targets after Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Liddy has donated $5,000 to McCain's campaigns since 1998, including $1,000 in February 2008. In addition, McCain has appeared on Liddy's radio show during the presidential campaign, including as recently as May. An online video labeled "John McCain On The G. Gordon Liddy Show 11/8/07" includes a discussion between Liddy and McCain, whom Liddy described as an "old friend." During the segment, McCain praised Liddy's "adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great," said he was "proud" of Liddy, and said that "it's always a pleasure for me to come on your program."

Point: McCain

And from Paul Begala:

But John McCain sat on the board of a very right-wing organization, it was the U.S. Council for World Freedom, it was chaired by a guy named John Singlaub, who wound up involved in the Iran contra scandal. It was an ultra conservative, right-wing group. The Anti-Defamation League, in 1981 when McCain was on the board, said this about this organization. It was affiliated with the World Anti-Communist League – the parent organization – which ADL said "has increasingly become a gathering place, a forum, a point of contact for extremists, racists and anti-Semites."

Point: McCain

And we can't forget the mini-Maverick and her close and personal relationship with an America-hating secessionist group:

So, we have Sarah Palin, actively involved with a secessionist group that professes its hatred for America, and whose husband was a card-carrying member of the group for seven years. And don't forget, Todd Palin isn't just the spouse of an elected official. He has been called a Shadow Governor, attending private meetings, being sent on fact finding trips, and being copied on emails that were later "prohibited from being released to the public due to executive privilege." This man would be a 72-year old heartbeat and a pillow away from the presidency.

Point: Palin

And let's add Palin's pesky, but largely ignored, preacher problem. Thomas Muthee, the preacher that Palin said helped her become governor:

...founded his ministry with a witchhunt against a Kenyan woman who he accused of causing car accidents through demonic spells.

And while praying with Palin standing by his side, Muthee:

...implored Jesus to protect Palin from "the spirit of witchcraft." The video archive of that startling sermon was scrubbed from Wasilla Assembly of God’s website, but now it has reappeared.

And during that same prayer, Muthee also said:

The second area whereby God wants us, wants to penetrate in our society is in the economic area. The Bible says that the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous. It's high time that we have top Christian businessmen, businesswomen, bankers, you know, who are men and women of integrity running the economics of our nations. That's what we are waiting for. That's part and parcel of transformation. If you look at the -- you know -- if you look at the Israelites, that's how they work. And that's how they are, even today.

Yes, Palin listened to him calling for God to take banking and business out of the hands of Jews and later praised him and his sermon.

Point: Palin

Oh, and one more that we can't forget. John McCain's association with four men...in fact, if it wasn't for John McCain's intimate association with them, the Savings & Loan crisis that cost the American taxpayers $2.6 billion, would have been known as the Keating 4 instead of the Keating 5 scandal:

The Keating Five became synonymous for the kind of political influence that money can buy. As the S&L failure deepened, the sheer magnitude of the losses hit the press. Billions of dollars had been squandered. The five senators were linked as the gang who shilled for an S&L bandit.

S&L "trading cards" came out. The Keating Five card showed Charles Keating holding up his hand, with a senator's head adorning each finger. McCain was on Keating's pinkie.

Point: McCain

And on the other side we have Barack Obama who served on charitable boards, along with many others, with William Ayers, who was involved with a radical group when Obama was 8 years old. Oh, and they share a zip code.

Point: Zero

And the winner is, McCain and Palin. But when you think about it, this game really isn't fair. While Obama had no association with Ayers' radical past and has repeatedly denounced it, both McCain and Palin were personally involved with all of their players. But let's let them enjoy their victory here. It's the only one they'll get.

Sarah Palin should be the last to throw stones at Obama about character when she is involved in a criminal investigation that might get her thrown in jail! If she wasn't guilty of what they have accused her of, then why has her own husband refused to testify and why has she and the Republicans been trying to delay the investigation until after the election?

She is a fraud and has ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIBILITY with the American people. It is obvious that now that McCain and her don't have an answer on the economy, they resort to the same nasty tactics Republicans have always used. Switch, distort, confuse and attack instead of presenting a positive plan of what they can do for the people. IT WON'T WORK THIS TIME because people's fortunes are at stake and they blame the Republicans for the rotten state of EVERYTHING and McCain and Palin are showing themselves to be just like BUSH and CHENEY. No plan, no clue, NO WAY.

as we can see from the McCain supporters above

same team
same tactics

9th year.

throw these bums out

and remember the last 9 years...the buck doesn't stop with

Bush Mccain Cheney

it stops with the people that voted for them.

BOTS do not have ANY way to filter the mantra of the terrorist gang Obuma hanga with, they have been thoroughly brain washed and indoctrinated.
I join you Karl with my first REPUBLICAN vote. Hell no I won't go to OBUMA CAMP!

This as is most of the nonsense coming out of the McCain campaign is just that nonsense. They would much rather engage in character assisination and lies than to address the real issues confronting our country. This is just the usual Swift boat and Karl Rove tatics that the Republicans think are going to win them another election. I am betting that the American people are smarter than that. This is BS and should be recognized as such. They must be getting desperate if they are resorting to this nonsense again.

Lawmakers subpoenaed seven state employees to testify in the inquiry but they challenged those subpoenas. After a judge rejected that challenge last week, the employees decided to testify, Alaska Attorney General Talis Colberg said.

Democratic state Sen. Hollis French, who is managing the investigation, said that, following the court ruling, he again asked Palin and her husband, Todd, whether they planned to testify.

"We've had no response," French said Sunday.

From the beginning Obama's corrupt, racist and terrorist ties have bothered me enough to make me switch from voting for democrats my entire life to voting for a republican for the first time.

Obama scares me.

Dem for Palin/McCain

Can someone please fax the memo to McCain and Palin that the subject is THE ECONOMY!

If they can't stay on the subject then they might as well GET OUT OF THE RACE!

Fear mongering, name-calling and distractions that have nothing to do with REAL ISSUES are yesterday's news. Tactics of the Bush administration that are flatly being rejected by today's voters and Palin is making herself look more like an idiot for using them, especially when her team is supposed to be trying to differentiate themselves from the Bush administration.

But this race could get blown apart if McCain is serious about constant character attacks on Obama and Palin gets away with mouthing off on Wright.
