Now that it looks like your boy Barack is going to be our next President, McLAME and Palin are trying to cast Obama as an unpatriotic terrorist sympathizer. Palin rode on Obama yesterday:

“We see America as the greatest force for good in this world,” Palin said at a fund-raising event in Colorado, adding, “Our opponent though, is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect that he’s palling around with terrorists who would target their own country.

You know they were due to bring the race card out in their own slick way when it started to look like Obama had it locked up. SMH.

    I agree … but Palin was referring to Sen. Obama’s association with William “Bill” Ayres (a white man) and the Weathermen.

    McCAIN AND PALIN DON’T HAVE A PLAN FIX THE PROBLEM THE COUNTRY IS FACING SO THEY”RE TRYING TO CAST DOUBT IN THE MINDS OF PEOPLE ABOUT OBAMA!! IT DIDN”T WORK BACK THEN WHEN THEY FIRST TRIED IT, AND IT WONT WORK NOW!! THE PEOPLE HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT AND THEY REALIZE THAT NOW IS THE TIME FOR CHANGE!! AND I MEAN REAL CHANGE!!

  • clear

    she really needs to shutup because she have prove to the world that she cant run this country but she also is stupid

  • Crustbetweenmytoes

    whoa…somebody up in here is really mad. this is my take on Palin. she could probably be a good weatherman or the president’s press secretary. i think the republicans were dumb as — to pick her for vice president. most times, i expect her to do a cartwheel when she comes out on stage. woe to us and this country if mccain wins.

  • Crustbetweenmytoes

    for real for real. she dumb.

  • as seen on t.v.(my gravie is coming out the closet like Clay Aiken)

    I can smell the desperation from here…We all knew that the race issues and un-american crap was going to rear it’s ugly head as soon as they realized their ship is sinking….Obama just has to keep reminding folks that a vote for McCain/Palin is just like voting Bush/Cheney all over again.

  • Real Conservative

    I wonder what will be you peoples excuse when the poll numbers tighten up right before the actual election?

    Once the electoral college becomes the deciding factor in this race, McCain/Palin will be giving their inauguration speech while your precious Obama and Biden will crying foul on the sidelines.

    Obama is a Terrorist sympathizer, HA that is a joke, wasn’t it McCain who said in the face off, that he wants to continue giving Pakistan 10 billion dollars of tax payers dollars America can no longer afford thanks to the bonehead Bush and his lack of knowledge on the economy?

    Pakistan trains, harbours, supports and looks after terrorist. All the terrorist inside Afghan (killing our troops) and Iraq come from Pakistan.

    Funny how McCain does not want diplomatic talks with Iran, yet he is happy to not hold diplomatic talks with Pakistan and just continue to fund the terrorist in Pakistan with American funds; and not threathen to withdraw the funds if they do not do something about the very same terrorist in their land, feeding off the America billions…training to attack us and those on English and any western soil.

    Terrorist sympathzier HELLO, that has got to be McCain and Bush, seen as how Pakistan the land of free terrorism gets a large bulk of their funds from the republican government…and do not have to do anything about their terrorist, and only receive support and sympathy LOLOLOL

    Palin should do us all a favour and join a daytime soap opera.

    ————————————–

    Yeah, I think Obama’s team has the right strategy. The thing is that green always trumps black, brown, beige, and white. When folks get their 401k statements over the next two weeks showing their financial losses as of 9/30, the choice will be made. Palin’s closing remarks from the debate showed that Team McCain is on the wrong message. She talked about freedom (WTF?) and Biden talked economy. Freedom is not a high priority when you cannot make the mortgage, put food on the table, or send your kids to school.

    If Team McCain wants to keep speaking to the folks who are going to vote McCain anyway, then they are on the right message. If Palin wants more longevity with the republicans who hate McCain, then they are on the right message.

    The advantage is Obama’s and he will have to stick the dagger in himself to lose the game now.

  • Tracey

    The Republican gives Pakistan 10 billion dollars PER year, all terriorist in Afghan and Iraq come from Pakistan, they get their training, support, protection and funds from Pakistan…the Republican government, directly sympathizes with Pakistan and funds them….Pakistan under Bush has no pressure what so ever, to weed out their terrorist, the very same terrorist that want to attack us.

    Republicans are the terrorist funders and direct pakistan terrorist sympathizers!

    Desperation never comes off well, whether it’s from a man, woman, or a presidential candidate with dropping poll numbers and a shrinking electoral map.

    It was noted today in an Associated Press analysis that Palin’s attack yesterday had a racial subtext that may be prove harmful to McCain. We’re in the throes of a developing recession, and people want to hear how the candidates plan to address job losses, access to health care, and other “pocketbook” issues. While diversionary tactics have worked well in the past for the GOP, the nation is facing a crisis the likes of which it has not seen in decades. To focus on negativity during an already tense, tumultuous time may further push undecided voters to Obama, IMHO. Palin may be a pitbull with lipstick, but she lacks substance, and no amount of snarling will disguise that glaring fact.

    Off topic reminder: The deadline for voter registration in Va. and D.C. is tomorrow, Monday, Nov. 6. Please register at www(dot)voteforchange(dot)com or www(dot)rockthevote(dot)com and make your voice heard in this historic election. Yes We Can!

  • Sydney

    Here’s another reason why McCain may wish to back it on up like a U-Haul truck. Below is an excerpt from Democratic strategist Paul Begala’s interview today on Meet the Press:

    Paul Begala, in a shot on Meet the Press that sounds like something other than an offhand remark, suggests an Obama comeback to an expected McCain ad blitz on the Ayers relationship.

    And I think Governor Palin here is making a strategic mistake. This guilt by association path is going to be trouble ultimately for the McCain campaign. You know, you can go back, I have written a book about McCain, I had a dozen researchers go through him, I didn’t even put this in the book. 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.”

  • Sydney

    Very true, Oshie, very true, re: men voting for Palin because she’s “pretty.” There are also people who are drawn to her because she’s “folksy.” I can do without all the winking, colloquialisms, and shout-outs to the folks in Wasilla. I want someone who can lead the country during these turbulent times.

    Hi, Daywalker :)

  • ShavonDenise

    People let me remind you that we are about to see the worst out of America in the next month. I look at Palin and how she refered to Biden as Senator Biden (after she asked if she could call him Joe) and McCain as Senator McCain but Senator Obama as Barack Obama, Obama, and on a couple occations as Barack!! That showed me her lack of respect for him. McCain wouldnt even look at him they were debating. Its just the feeling of that old prejudices that will make everything subtle seem overt. Because he has a Muslim name they want to call him a terrorist. If that isnt prejudice I dont know what is. People dont want to see a Black man in office, especially before a white woman is so we all have to hang in there people because even though the opposition basically has stolen the tag line “change” like Elvis stole his style from our ancestors, its about to be war! And they are going to do anything they possibly can to divert our dream. Whats soo wrong with saying that your country isnt perfect?? I dont get Republicans. Like what makes you more “patriotic” is by standing up for what is right. They most patriotic people seem to be those who are southern and who”love” America but their they first ones to have a confederate flag which represents them going agaisnt and FIGHTING their own country. And guess what the reason for that war was???

    Obama was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review. I think that qualifies him as “somebody know somethin”. His intelligence and ideas are something we need much more than a war vet with a chip on their shoulder. Those are a dime a dozen.

    Is it any wonder why young black men are so screwed up? If you’re indicative of what is raising the future of black america, i shudder and hope that McCain and Palin will win this election, thus instilling nice wholesome family values that will hopefully trickle down into your morally bankrupt community.

    he don’t even know how many houses he own. I know it’s hard to vote for obama if your a white man. Yall get all the oppurtunities, and this columbia grad, harvard law school grad living the american dream. if obama was white he’ll be winning by a landslide

  • STOP TRIPPING!

    Every body always says that race doesn’t matter. This is exactly that simple ish, that goes on. MCLame said he would only deal with politics and would keep it clean, wouldn’t do any racial crap, he didn’t so he sends Palin to do his dirty work..Claiming Obama is a terrorist? That’s wrong, knowing that white folks get scared of anything that ‘s not usual to them. Racism will forever be this country’s legacy.No matter how you try to rise above it, you still get slammed, when people sink to desperate lows in a frenzied attempt to grab voters. I am very unhappy about the way this election is starting to go along the lines of race. It should be about the issues…I would like to see somebody from Obama’s campaign defend the allegations but also go after the Repubs, somebody has to put them in their place…Only thing McLame is ready for is diapers, bib, jello and nursing home with sedatives, so he really “concentrate” on the war…..

    On a comedic note, did anyone see the SNL sketch last night of the vp debate with Tina Fey and Queen Latifah as Gwen Ifill? It was very funny.

    @Real Conservative

    Yup, you’re right — the GOP is the bastion of family values. If McCain and Palin are elected, we’ll have the first knocked-up teenager in the White House.

    *trying to divert Daywalker’s attention”

    Hey Mr. Daywalker, sir, what do you think about this input from Karl Rove on the electoral map? I trust Rove about as far as I could throw him, which, with my lack of upper body strength, is about half an inch. Below is from The Huffington Post:

    Separately, in a post on his website, Rove projected that if the election were held today, Obama would get at least 273 electoral votes and become the next president of the United States. The architect of George W. Bush’s two presidential campaigns attributed the Democratic nominee’s rise to the current economic woes and cautioned that landscape is fluid. But, he added:

    “39 new state polls released in the first three days of October have given Barack Obama his first lead over the magic number of 270 since mid-July. Minnesota (10 EV) and New Hampshire (4 EV) both moved from toss-up to Obama, giving him 273 electoral votes to McCain’s 163, with 102 votes remaining as a toss-up.”

    “If the election were held today, Obama would win every state John Kerry won in 2004, while adding New Mexico (5 EV), Iowa (7 EV), and Colorado (9 EV) to his coalition. Remember, though, that these state polls are a lagging indicator and most do not include any surveying done after the vice-presidential debate on Thursday night.”

  • always knew

    @Real Conservative- when you say Republican values, do you mean the values, that sportscaster Palin, oops I mean Governor Palin, brought her unmarried, teenage pregnant daughter, on stage to introduce the “wholesome family values, that you speak of? Or what about the affairs that both Gov.Palin and her husband have had on each other? I can really see why you would deem hose Republican values. Her daughter is all over the internet half-dressed adn drinking like a sailor, those GREAT Republican values…and just so you know I usually vote REPUBLICAN..But NOT THIS TIME!! ENOUGH of the charades and games, it’s time for us to take America back to the way it should be. We need to get our own individual homes back in order..But for you to just sit there so blantly state the republican values, thats ridiculous, McLame cheated on his wife and left her for Cindy the crypt- keeper, for her Beer fortune–she used to abuse narcotics- did you know that?With those nice Republican values? Did you know that McLame was involved in the Keating 5 scandal, here in Arizona. Do you know he’s got more deals with the oil companies, that you can imagine..And his legislature is usally always steered towards profit, which in this case, means the people fall short and pay for it…just like this fake war, to line the pockets of a few, while the rest feast…I can’t be mad I have my fair share and more, We,my husband,myself and our teams work hard for what we have. but we did it according to our beliefs and what we held to be our truth..It didn;t have any thing to do with ‘Republican Values’..Repubs are supposed to be for smaller government , in this case, not so…Bush was a D student at best, stupid as the day is long, all his businesses he ever had failed and we let him run our country into bankruptcy..When he came into office, he had a surplus..I hate to say it but the dems got it this time.He should be investigated for war crimes and this illegal war he started, so he could give all his cronies money..Dems Got this , this year…Hands down!

    At least she’s engaged to be married, plus i feel that their bringing her on stage was a calculated display to reach out to the black voter to let them know that they can relate to the black experience of out of wedlock pregnancies that seems to be so prevalent in your communities. Think of as a form of empathy…As you can see, Palin is not so out of touch, hmmm?

  • Sydney

    LOL @ Real Conservative

    So Palin is in touch with the black community? Maybe she should change her theme song to “That just my daughter baby daddy. . .Who that is. . .That just her baby daddy. . .”

    @Daywalker

    You’re right about Rove. He has been awfully complimentary to Obama lately, and I don’t trust him. Not one bit.

    I look forward to Tuesday’s debate.

  • Sydney

    @Daywalker

    Wow, what branch of the military were you in? I know that health care for veterans is a significant issue.

    Palin is pro-life and supports abstinence-only education. Her daughter could have probably benefited from sex education.

  • always knew

    @ Real Conservative- Being black doesn’t mean equating teenage pregnancy with the black experience. It is not exclusively ‘ours’..I think when she brough ther daughter out, it made her look like the promiscious person that she is, also like her moose shooting mother..The fact that you would try to equate a probem that is already corrected itself in our community is an issue..It seems to me as, if we should agree because this time the “Republican values” don’t mean anything..But judging the post you actually wrote, this doesn;t surprise me, coming from someone who is not black and pretends they are, or someone who is black who refuses to acknowledge facts when they seem them, either way, I can see why YOU would vote for McLame/Palin. The Republicans picked the wrong candidiates this year, And that’s it..your candidates suck and so does your thinking…this thread is for Obama supporters, kindly GTFOH! if you’re not one…I;m just sayin…THANKS!…You go ahead and go to the stormfront or fox news for your updates, run along now…

    How did teen pregnancies and out of wedlock births in the black community correct itself?

  • always knew

    think that if she cannot run her own household, how in the hell can she run this country? There are people in the middle east dying right now. I should know, I was there, I got shot while on active duty over there. I could have been killed, so this is a real issue for me as well as other veterans.Mc Cain and Palin are not on the same page as far as what is going to happen if Mc Cain were to go down while in office. She admitted that she wouldn’t follow Mc Cain’s policies(Which in retrospect are George Bush’s policies) Is she were to become Commander in Chief of the most powerful military on the planet. And correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t the Rep. party the ones who were against “Unwed pregnancies”, gay rights, abortions and such? Kind of makes a mockery of all that they say they stand for in my opinion. They preach that they take the moral high ground, but their actions speak otherwise.

    That’s the difference between Sarah Palin taking responsibility when her child makes a mistake and the black community, who allows their daughters to have child after child out of wedlock.

    @ Real Conservative- I am not an expert on WHY it happened. I only know that the number went down in our community substantially…I am not a statician, I don’t have the numbers, nor do I care. I’m in a pretty high income bracket AND I WILL PAY MORE, when he is elected. But there are several reasons why, I care. I am probably more conservative then you are. I don;t believe in any social service programs, except for the elderly and military..I don’t believe in Halliburton or Ward Connerly, I believe that until there are enough of us in positions that matter, and that would be the influence the masses, need to correct the prvious way of thinking…I got off the subject on PURPOSE, CAN YOU TELL????? I ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS, JUST LIKE YOUR BRAIN-LESS CANDIDATE DID–NO ANSWERS—-Energy will bring jobs, McLame this McLame that, he DID NOT SAY THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE PARTY ARE STRONG, 2 WEEKS AGO!! Why are all the banks closing, if there are no problems..inflation starting to go through the roof, the average adult, no prospects of a decent job wage unless he starts his own business…Even then financing is another discrimnatory problem..you can only go so far, before you will require bonds, collateral for funding, whose in control of that? Exactly…I have a little something, definitely not in the million dollar bracket in net income, but am working feverishly towards it….And getting back on topic _(WHIC PALIN NEVER DOES) Black women have been going to college disproportionately within the last few years, black teenage pregnancy rates dropped, that is not exclusive to our community. That award would go to La Raza. The Hispanics. They have taken over and breed like vermin…please don’t think I am against Hispanic people, I;m just saying that they have taken over that title..Additionally, they have so many because their anchor children ensure they receive welfare, benefits, housing, medical, etc…you know free ride…We are slowly getting our act together, doesn’t that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside…

    Bye, always knew!

    I have to share this, too. Palin also misquoted former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright yesterday:

    At a rally on Saturday in California, Sarah Palin offered up a rather jarring argument for supporting the Republican ticket. “There’s a place in Hell reserved for women who don’t support other women,” the Alaska Governor said, claiming she was quoting former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

    The statement came after Palin had recounted a “providential” moment she experienced on Saturday: “I’m reading on my Starbucks mocha cup, okay? The quote of the day… It was Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State [crowd boos] and UN ambassador. … Now she said it, I didn’t. She said, ‘There’s a place in Hell reserved for women who don’t support other women.’”

    Actually, Albright didn’t say that. The accurate quote is, “There’s a place in Hell reserved for women who don’t help other women.”

    @Daywalker

    So you come from a military family? An ex-boyfriend of mine was based in Norfolk, so I’m very familiar with it.

    While I strongly oppose the war, I greatly respect and appreciate the sacrifices that men and women have made.

  • Sydney

    @Daywalker

    Yeah, Sarah seems to have a case of foot-in-mouth disease. Out of fairness, Joe Biden is a gaffe machine as well, but he has an established record and reputation. People are still getting to know Palin, so she’s under higher scrutiny and has more to prove, IMHO. As a woman, I really resent the manipulation of a quote to push women to vote for her. I will vote only for the candidate I feel is qualified to lead the nation, not the one who happens to share the same equipment I have. As I’ve said before, I think a President Palin would be a disaster. She’s not ready.

    Here’s Albright’s response to Palin. Don’t mess with Madeleine!

    Albright responded to Palin’s remarks in a statement to the Huffington Post on Sunday. “Though I am flattered that Governor Palin has chosen to cite me as a source of wisdom, what I said had nothing to do with politics. This is yet another example of McCain and Palin distorting the truth, and all the more reason to remember that this campaign is not about gender, it is about which candidate has an agenda that will improve the lives of all Americans, including women. The truth is, if you care about the status of women in our society and in our troubled economy, the best choice by far is Obama-Biden.”

  • Sydney

    @Daywalker

    It looks like you come from a family with strong values and commitment. That’s great.

    I gotta go run some errands, but it was good to talk with you!

    I do think these character attacks are part of McCain’s “kitchen sink” strategy, and we saw how that worked for Hillary, right? The economy is getting worse by the week, and people are looking for solutions, not negativity.

    And whats annoying me is how no one seems to want to bring up about how Sarah Palin’s husband was apart of an Alaskan anti-American group that wants to either be independent of themselves or be apart of Canada, AND how he just became a “registered republican” this September.

    complete bull!

    McCain/Palin keep talking about Obama, meanwhile Obama keeps talking about ISSUES!!!!

    John McCain and Sarah Palin want to ignore the economy with falsified ads-whereas Barack Obama and Joe Biden continues to point out their consistency with George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. It will not work. Not once has McCain or Palin talked about their plans for the economy-because they do not have one-and Americans are already seeing that in Michigan, where McCain fell back. Unless there’s a trick up their sleeves, John and Sarah had solidified Barack and Joe going to 1600 Pennsylvania on January; but this depends on people voting.

    Make sure you are registered so we can give John, Sarah, George and Dick a referendum they won’t forget.

  • Joey

    The Republicans appear unpatriotic by putting people in high positions whose only interst is to help and support themselves. They target, use, and try to fool the American people to their destruction,and that folks is as unpatriotic as it gets.

    Amd palin needs to shut her mouth with all the corruption in Alaska, and what happen to the case with her brother in law?, and her husband in volved in a group to remove Alaska from the US.

    all these republicans are the same with their horrible polices and agendas and negative attacks, Bush/Cheney MCcain/Palin They are all the same!!!!

    I want you all of the Obama Supporters to read this:

    GOP to file fundraising complaint against Obama

    2 hours, 32 minutes ago

    WASHINGTON – The Republican National Committee plans to file a fundraising complaint against Democrat Barack Obama’s presidential campaign Monday, alleging it has accepted donations that exceed federal limits as well as illegal contributions from foreigners.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    RNC officials acknowledged Sunday that they do not have a list of foreign donors to Obama’s campaign. Instead, the complaint is based largely on media reports, including one from the conservative Web site Newsmax.

    The complaint asks the Federal Elections Commission to audit Obama’s campaign fund, RNC chief counsel Sean Cairncross said in a conference call with reporters.

    Cairncross said little is known about many of Obama’s donors because the campaign is not required to disclose detailed information about people who give less than $200.

    The Obama campaign, which is not accepting public funds, has raised more than $468 million. About half has come from small donors, a point of pride for the Obama campaign.

    The Obama campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    ___________________________________________________

    The McCain camp will use all kinds of dirt to smear Obama in this last month, and now, they are attacking his supporters who donate to his campaign. We, who support Obama are educated to his track record, and we know that he is capable and willing to do all of the things we need-fix the economy, bring our troops home, fight lobbyists, make healthcare affordable, as well as a host of other agendas. But, the McCain camp wants to not to focus on the issues that affect you-he wants you to believe his lies. He wants you to ignore the Bush administration, and forget that he said on Faux New that he’s voted with Bush 90% of the time. He wants you to disregard his erratic behavior which makes him unstable for the White House. Even though you won’t believe it-other Americans will, and they will vote for him. Do not think your vote doesn’t count. Make sure on November the 4th, you let your will be known. Last day for Tennessee residents to register is Monday.

    Listen, the only reason that Sarah Pit Bull – Barracuda, brought her daughter to the Republican Convention was to keep the cover-up going. She is not even the baby’s Mother, and that is why she didn’t mind him being passed around like a sack full of potato’s. The only reason she came up with this bull shi!, is because they were talking about it for months in Alaska. She wanted to be President so bad that she threw her own daughter to the wolfs. She knew that her daughter still had her weight for having the baby, which everyone in Alaska will tell you, the Governor didn’t even look pregnant. So she came up with this baby bull shi!. All anybody how to do is look at Bristol’s when she is holding her child, and how the Governor treats him like a after thought. She stood on that stage and told all the special need Mom’s, that when she get to Washington, she would be their voice. Huh? The so called hottest Governor, from the Coldest state, was in such a heated rush to get to the convention, wearing her $600.00 glasses and her Jimmy Choo’s, didn’t have brains enough to put shoes and socks, on her and Bristol’s son.

    At the debate, she had her little daughter acting like her and Bristol’s child Mother. If you are going to lie and say that you have family values, try and throw the little confused tot a little love sometimes. I understand that she went to a fund raiser Republican Party and used the “N” word several times. But coming from a moose eating bimbo who is McShame’s side kick, nothing these two Maverick do, surprise me.

    Michael Vicks is in prison for killing dogs, but The pit -bull – barracuda kills animal for fun and they have not locked her up yet. Sure, they try to keep a muzzle on that rabies inflected mouth that every time they take it off she has the diarrhea of the lip.

    Only in America…

    I’m a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight…..If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you’re “exotic, different.”

    Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American story.

    If your name is Barack you’re a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

    Name your kids Willow , Trig and Track, you’re a maverick.

    Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

    Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you’re well grounded.

    If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees, you don’t have any real leadership experience.

    If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you’re qualified to become the country’s second highest ranking executive and next in line behind a man in his eighth decade.

    If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you’re not a real Christian.

    If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and then left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you’re a true Christian.

    If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

    If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state’s school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you’re very responsible.

    If your wife is a Harvard graduate laywer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family’s values don’t represent America ‘s.

    If you’re husband is nicknamed “First Dude”, with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn’t register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA , your family is extremely admirable.

    OK, much clearer now.

  • Buckey Chrome

    But Barack does keep company with at lease one domestic terrorists and his name is William Ayres. She’s telling the truth.

  • Tracey

    Burkey Chrome, while the republicans safely fly out Bin Laden’s family on 911 no fly zone BEFORE Osama Bin Laden admits to the attacks on New York’s twin towers and innocent civilians.

    Not to mention funding the Pakistani terrorist, as they fed of the 10 billion dollars the Republicans insist on given them, despite the recruitment, funding, support and training of terriorist on the west, Afghan, and Iraq come from Pakistan.

    Come on for crying out loud, there are many in Bin Laden’s family who support his actions, who are known terrorist supporters too…Bush has done nothing BUT compromised with them, and that is why Osama is still alive.

    Anyone saw the fear in McCains eyes, when Omaba talked on cutting of ties and funds to Pakistan, and going in to KILL Bin Laden?…..it is an issue the Republicans haven’t dealt with for the past 7 years.

    Seems like the Republican BREEDS terrorist, supports terrorist and funds terrorist.

  • Tracey

    Funny, how the Republicans were happy to take out Saddam, murder him and his family, yet do nothing on Bin Ladens family, who have terrorist links and make deals to keep him alive. The only reason why the Republicans murdered Saddam, was because he had plenty of information on the Republican government that also linked them with the murder of innocent Kurds, they wanted to STEAL Iraq’s resources and sell the off to their cronies…and also use their cheap token in looking good….considering Saddam and Iraq had nothing to do with 911, they look like COWARDS if you would ask me…it is Bin Laden and his terrorist supporting family that should have been taken out….not supported and protected by the BACKSTABBING (I have no economic clue) Republicans…

    Oh yeah, the Republicans done a job on Iraq, Iran could only dream of….also the same extreme muslims Shia’s jihadist; Iran wanted to impower for decades, the Republicans neo cons done it FREE for them instead…and our troops.

    So who are the terrorist sympathizers, lets look at it this way, Iraq is now Shia Muslim liberated in Iran’s eyes, Pakistan the land of free terrorist receive 10 billion dollars of America tax money from the neo cons…..SO IT HAS TO BE THE REPUBLICANS!

    Facts are the facts, and made up stories on the Obama are just a joke and nothing to do with politics.

    When Sarah used the word “we” her false accusations against his character became a racial issue. Who is “we”? White people? FOX Network aired a tale of lies last night, and I am so tired of our democratic system. How is it that people can publicly demolish someones characher in such a evil, devilish way. She claims to care about everyone in the world but she deliberatly made an attack that probabaly causes tension for his children at school. She is so stupid does she not understand that if Obama has made it thus far he has already been investigated by every federal and world government known to man. The McCain camp is desperate rather than stick to the issues they want to get downright and dirty. Are these the kind of people anyone would want to run their government? McCain and Palin want to keep jobs overseas thereby giving tax breaks to corporations. McCain and Palin want us to pay for our own health insurance instead of our jobs contributing. McCain and Palin want to remain at war in Iraq while we watch all our taxes fund the job. McCain and Palin want to end public assistance programs, that help seniors receive medicaid/medicare. McCain and Palin will not raise teachers salaries, according to them they are paid enough.

  • tg

    I honestly can’t wait until November 5th. I am so sick of the mud slinging that McPain and Pale-n are doing. Barack is honestly trying to address important issues in the Presidency and that our country faces today. And all these two can do is sling mud, call names and flat out LIE about the man. Lord – help us – if this is how they plan to run the country. I honestly don’t know one thing they plan to make better or change. All they do is sidestep the questions and then toss some dirt in Obama’s direction. The man has tried to be honest about his past, etc. and I think he is MORE Patriotic than McPain and Pale-n put together. Everyone probably knows one person in this world they wish they never met. I think his knowledge of ALL people – bad and good makes good experience when dealing with other heads of countries. Everyone in this world is not PRO-America.

  • chaka1

    She is a fraud. The Republicans have begun their trickery this month focused on ridiculous hot button issues: the gays, the terrorists, abortions, illegal immigrants, blah blah blah…

    They will cloak themselves in Christianity and morality issues. Yet, these so-called Christians will tell lies about Obama just to get elected. Meanwhile, they are the main ones doing the dirty. For example, I LOVE how the Cheneys NOW support gay marriage because their daughter got hitched to a woman and had a baby out of wedlock. It’s all a ruse, a sham, and an insult to real Christians.

    I was listening to NPR this morning and they went to poor white neighborhoods in Pennsylvania to find out who they support. As expected, most supported McCain. When asked why not Obama, the most common response was, “he scares me.” Another person said, “he seems too good to be true. Obama has the right answer for everything. I am voting for McCain.” No one could articulate the obvious (race). Another woman said, “He must have a really high IQ. He is such a smart man. However, he supports abortions. I am voting for McCain.”

    Equally upsetting was a report in Virginia at a Christian university. They supported McCain because he has good christian values that mirrors their own. The reporter asked about Obama’s values. No one could articulate an answer that made sense. The reporter managed to find the only two Obama supporters on campus. Both were ethnic minorities.

    This is why I NEVER get upset when someone tells me I am voting for Obama because he is Black. You damn right! And many many McCain supporters are voting for him because he is white.

    This election all boils down to who shows up to vote. And we need to be there in masses.

  • Buckey Chrome

    @Stefany,

    I never said Barack helped Ayres bomb the Capitol. What I am saying is that yes they are friends. Both of them admit this. I’m not lying or even trying to sway voters….but it’s fact they Barack has accepted campaign money from Ayres and held a fundraiser at Ayre’s Chicago home….look it up for yourself. Barack’s also close to Rashid Khalidi…..it’s a fact.

  • kristine

    I don’t see how this is racist. She was stating a fact. Barack is friends with Ayres. Statement. Fact. Racist how? Is this how it’s gonna be now? No one can criticize Obama without being racist? Hoe, please. Sit down.

    I am so glad someone’s finally hitting back with the Keating Five Scandal! I love how the McCain camp is trying to shove the William Ayers thing down America’s throat. Obama didn’t do anything wrong so they’re making him guilty by association.

    Buckey Chrome ~ Dude they are not “friends” I’ve had this argument several times already & it’s ridiculous! Obama has said in several interviews that he was an associate with this dude because they worked on the same project “along” with a lot of other people!

    Its funny 2 me how all of these people that were working beside this man knew so much about him or his intentions but never uttered a word about it until Obama decided 2 run 4 presidency!

    You are also wrong about his experience compared 2 Palins. You must have gotten your information from the FOX network, because it’s all lies & propaganda!

    Why don’t u people go ahead & tell the truth, the real reason u do not want to vote for Obama is because he’s a black man! Come out of the closet it’s 2008 U can take off the white sheet & be open about your racist views, people do it all the time!

    McCain & Palin are jokes! MCCain stands 4 everything Bush stands 4 that’s a known fact! Bush is going to run the white house via McClown if he happens 2 win! His old a$$ is a puppet just like Palin! They only brought her on 2 get the female vote dude & u know this!

    U would rather watch more of our soldiers die, & more people lose their jobs & home than 2 see a Black president & that’s pathetic because black people are not the only ones suffering from the Bush/McCain regimes lies & deceit!

    ___________________________

    What’s true? you want truth here is truth.

    The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The five senators, Alan Cranston (D-CA), Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), John Glenn (D-OH), John McCain (R-AZ), and Donald W. Riegle (D-MI), were accused of improperly intervening in 1987 on behalf of Charles H. Keating, Jr., chairman of the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target of a regulatory investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB). The FHLBB subsequently backed off taking action against Lincoln.

    Lincoln Savings and Loan collapsed in 1989, at a cost of $2 billion to the federal government. Some 23,000 Lincoln bondholders were defrauded and many elderly investors lost their life savings. The substantial political contributions that Keating had made to each of the senators, totalling $1.3 million, attracted considerable public and media attention. After a lengthy investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee determined in 1991 that Alan Cranston, Dennis DeConcini, and Donald Riegle had substantially and improperly interfered with the FHLBB in its investigation of Lincoln Savings, with Cranston receiving a formal reprimand. Senators John Glenn and John McCain were cleared of having acted improperly but were criticized for having exercised “poor judgment”.

    McCain was criticized by the Committee for exercising “poor judgment” when he met with the federal regulators on Keating’s behalf.[7]

    Regardless of the level of their involvement, both senators were greatly affected by it. McCain would write in 2002 that attending the two April 1987 meetings was “the worst mistake of my life”.[50] Glenn has described the Senate Ethics Committee investigation as the low point of his life.[8]

    Sarah Palin is treading on dangerous territory. She is going to regret her words because all this campaign is doing now is appealing to white racists. I believe the GOP is about to get uglier with its racially-tinged attacks. She is an embarrassment to good Christian women. In fact, Obama is MORE religious than her and McCain.

  • STEFANY

    @ BUCKEY CHROME,

    I understand you making a point, but this has nothing to do with the ecomony and the issues at hand..I’m sure we all have character flaws if you dig deep enough..All I’m saying is McCain better be careful about character attacks he might be asking for more than he can handle.

  • Tone

    Racism is very much alive in the world, but you are misleading people bytying race to this issue. The terrorist that Palin spoke of (Bill Ayers) is white so….where does race come in with that statement. Stop blaming EVERYTHING on race!

  • B-Nice

    Racism, is no longer black or white? Like the fact that the McCain campaign cannot attack Barack’s name, so they decide to link his name. It is racisit, there is know doubt they are indeed being racist by making false accustians against another culture of people to which Barack is not in any way shape or form associated, as a means of appealing to the White/Jewish voters.

    See, so everything is not always black & white? Many world leaders, in the U.S.A have had talks with many world leaders they indeed despised because of their elusive acts committed against the people of that leaders country. That does not make our leaders guilty of anything.
