    No one disagrees that Nixon was a low life Tyrant, Reagan was a two-faced movie star who sold deadly weapons to Iraq and then underhandedly sold the same types of weapons to Iran (Iran Contra Affair) The Soviet Union was already crumbling when he so snuggly said TEAR DOWN THIS WALL, next a another phony Repug No new taxes, George Bush#1, and now we have another repug, who happens to be the dumbest,most inept, human who ever set foot in the White House, George W. Bush#2,and now ,of all horrendous prospects they want to put , screwball old Man in the Top Gun spot. America and Independents you best take heed and Read.

      bluegrass... are you that young that you don't remember history? Please! Nixon was crucified!

      Sorry, you're wrong... the Soviet Union may have been crumbling, but it never would have fallen without Reagan's initiative. So stop trying to rewrite history, and please stop crying about GWB! Like it or don't, your griping little ass is safer after 9/11 because of him. Please, if you're going to scream and whine because your ice cream is too cold, do it some place else.

    Heres a ''doubt''that even you cannot refute Clift.

    It appears that Obamas criticism of ''Big Oil''McCain took another shot now that we know that two of his foreign policy advisers are lobbyists for the American Petroleum Institute and Petro-Canada. These two individuals appear here:

    Which reminds me. Talking Points Memo and DAILY KOS are being hauled to the woodshed for spreading a lie about McCains POW captivity [the cross in the sand],which they stated McCain lifted from a novel from Alexander Solyzenitzin. One problem. The event appears in none of his novels.

    Poll Shows McCain in 5 Point Lead over Obama
    Reuters by John Whitesides, Political Correspondent Aug. 20, 2008

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In a sharp turnaround, Republican John McCain has opened a 5-point lead on Democrat Barack Obama in the U.S. presidential race and is seen as a stronger manager of the economy, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.

    McCain leads Obama among likely U.S. voters by 46 percent to 41 percent, wiping out Obama's solid 7-point advantage in July and taking his first lead in the monthly Reuters/Zogby poll.

    The reversal follows a month of attacks by McCain, who has questioned Obama's experience, criticized his opposition to most new offshore oil drilling and mocked his overseas trip.

    The poll was taken Thursday through Saturday as Obama wrapped up a weeklong vacation in Hawaii that ceded the political spotlight to McCain, who seized on Russia's invasion of Georgia to emphasize his foreign policy views.

    "There is no doubt the campaign to discredit Obama is paying off for McCain right now," pollster John Zogby said. "This is a significant ebb for Obama."

    McCain now has a 9-point edge, 49 percent to 40 percent, over Obama on the critical question of who would be the best manager of the economy -- an issue nearly half of voters said was their top concern in the November 4 presidential election.

    That margin reversed Obama's 4-point edge last month on the economy over McCain, an Arizona senator and former Vietnam prisoner of war who has admitted a lack of economic expertise and shows far greater interest in foreign and military policy.

    McCain has been on the offensive against Obama during the last month over energy concerns, with polls showing strong majorities supporting his call for an expansion of offshore oil drilling as gasoline prices hover near $4 a gallon.

    Obama had opposed new offshore drilling, but said recently he would support a limited expansion as part of a comprehensive energy program.

    That was one of several recent policy shifts for Obama, as he positions himself for the general election battle. But Zogby said the changes could be taking a toll on Obama's support, particularly among Democrats and self-described liberals.

    "That hairline difference between nuance and what appears to be flip-flopping is hurting him with liberal voters," Zogby said.

    Obama's support among Democrats fell 9 percentage points this month to 74 percent, while McCain has the backing of 81 percent of Republicans. Support for Obama, an Illinois senator, fell 12 percentage points among liberals, with 10 percent of liberals still undecided compared to 9 percent of conservatives.

    McCain made a big mistake. When he was invited last spring to attend a discussion of the role of faith in his life with Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, at Messiah College in Pennsylvania, McCain didn't bother to show up. Now I know why.
    John McCain is as intellectually shallow as our current president. When asked what his Christian faith means to him, his answer was a one-liner. "It means I'm saved and forgiven." Great scholars have wrestled with the meaning of faith for centuries. McCain then retold a story we've all heard a hundred times about a guard in Vietnam drawing a cross in the sand.

  • Posted By: william111 @ 08/20/2008 11:40:34 AM

    McCain has shown time and time again over the last seven years that, far from being an expert when it comes to foreign policy, he is frequently --- and dangerously -- clueless.
    McCain falsely claimed that the surge was what led to the Anbar Awakening, even though the Sunni revolt against al-Qaeda in the province began months before Bush even announced his plan to send more troops to Iraq.
    McCain falsely claimed at the end of May that American troops in Iraq were down to "pre-surge levels" (brandished as proof that the surge was "succeeding") -- even though two-thirds of the additional surge troops were still in Iraq. And, when called on his mistake, he refused to acknowledge that he was wrong.

    THIS IS WHAT THE LIBERALS SUPPORT ! THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WOMANS RIGHT TO CHOOSE THIS IS MURDER PLAIN AND SIMPLE ! OBAMA REFUSED TO SIGN A BILL STOPPING THIS ! Late Term Abortion ??? The procedures
    There are three general procedures of late-term abortions and partial birth abortions. The first and most popular is called D&E (Dilation and evacuation). Once the cervix is dilated, the fetus is removed by inserting forceps into the uterus. The Fetus is then separated into pieces. These ???pieces??? of your baby will be removed one at a time. Vacuum aspiration is then used to ensure no tissue remains in the uterus.

    The second procedure is early induction of labor. This is very painful and intense for the woman and is rarely used as an abortion procedure.

    The third procedure is called Intact D&X surgery. This procedure includes a 2-3 day process to gradually dilate the cervix using sticks of seaweed which absorb fluid and swell. Once this process is finished, the doctor uses forceps and grasps the baby???s leg to turn it to breech position. The baby is then pulled out of the birth canal, leaving the head inside the canal. An incision is then made at the base of the baby???s skull and the brain tissue is removed, causing the skull to collapse. The entire baby is then removed.

    GRIM PROVING GROUND FOR OBAMAS HOUSING POLICY (PART I)

    The candidate (Obama) endorsed subsidies for private entrepreneurs to build low-income units. But, while he garnered support from developers, many projects in his former district have fallen into disrepair.

    Presidential hopeful, residents complaints(Boston Globe) At a dilapidated Chicago housing project, some see problems with Obamas favored housing policy.

    BOSTON GLOBE
    By Binyamin Appelbaum
    Globe Staff / June 27, 2008

    CHICAGO - The squat brick buildings of GROVE PARC PLAZA, in a dense neighborhood that Barack OBAMA REPRESENTED for eight years as a state senator, hold 504 apartments subsidized by the federal government for people who cannot afford to live anywhere else. But it is NOT SAFE to live here.

    About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as COLLAPSED ROOFS and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. SEWAGE BACKS UP INTO KITCHEN SINKS. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition.

    Grove Parc has become a symbol for some in Chicago of the broader FAILURES of giving public subsidies to private companies to build and manage affordable housing - an approach STRONGLY BACKED BY OBAMA AS THE BEST REPLACEMENT FOR PUBLIC HOUSING.

    As a state senator, OBAMA COAUTHORED an ILLINOIS LAW creating a new POOL OF TAX CREDITS FOR DEVELOPERS. As a US senator, he pressed for increased federal subsidies. And as a presidential candidate, he has campaigned on a PROMISE TO CREATE AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND that could give developers an estimated $500 million a year.

    But a Globe review found that thousands of apartments across Chicago that had been built with local, state, and federal subsidies - including several HUNDRED IN OBAMAS FORMER DISTRICT - DETERIORATED SO COMPLETELY THAT THEY WERE NO LONGER HABITABLE.

      (Continued from my post above - Grim Proving Ground for Obamas Housing Policy)

      PART II:

      Grove Parc and several other prominent failures were developed and managed by Obamas close friends and political supporters. (Everyone remembers Obamas friend Antoine TONY Rezko). Those people (Obamas friends) PROFITED FROM THE SUBSIDIES even as many of Obamas constituents suffered. Tenants lost their homes; surrounding neighborhoods were blighted.

      Some of the residents of Grove Parc say they are angry that Obama did not notice their plight. The development straddles the boundary of Obamas state Senate district. Many of the tenants have been his constituents for more than a decade.(But Obama ignored this plight).

      No one should have to live like this, and no one did anything about it, said Cynthia Ashley, who has lived at Grove Parc since 1994. Obamas campaign, in a written response to Globe questions, affirmed the candidates support of public-private partnerships as an alternative to public housing, saying that Obama has consistently fought to make livable, affordable housing in mixed-income neighborhoods available to all (yeah right, but once built, left to plight). The campaign did not respond to questions about whether Obama was aware of the problems with buildings in his district during his time as a state senator, nor did it comment on the roles played by people connected to the senator.

      Among those tied to Obama POLITICALLY, PERSONALLY, OR PROFESSIONALLY are: VALERIE JARRETT, a senior adviser to Obamas presidential campaign and a member of his finance committee. Jarrett is the chief executive of Habitat Co., which MANAGED GROVE PARC PLAZA FROM 2001 UNTIL THIS WINTER and CO-MANAGED an even larger subsidized complex in Chicago that was seized by the federal government in 2006, after city inspectors found widespread problems (yeah, right, I am sure Obama did not know about these rundown subsidized complexes).

      Allison Davis, a major FUND-RAISER for Obamas US Senate campaign and a former lead partner at Obamas former law firm. Davis, a DEVELOPER, WAS INVOLVED IN THE CREATION OF GROVE PARC AND HAS USED GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES to rehabilitate more than 1,500 units in Chicago, including a North Side building cited by city inspectors last year after chronic plumbing failures resulted in raw sewage spilling into several apartments.

      TONY REZKO, perhaps the most important fund-raiser for Obamas early political campaigns and a FRIEND who helped the Obamas buy a home in 2005. Rezkos

        (Continued from Reply area above - Grim Proving Ground for Obamas Housing Policy)

        PART III

        company USED SUBSIDIES TO REHABILITATE MORE THAN 1,000 APARTMENTS, mostly in and around Obama's district, then REFUSED TO MANAGE the units, leaving the buildings to decay to the point where many no longer were habitable.

        Campaign finance records show that six prominent developers - including JARRETT, DAVIS, and REZKO - collectively contributed more than $175,000 to Obamas campaigns over the last decade and raised hundreds of thousands more from other donors. Rezko alone raised at least $200,000, by Obamas own accounting.

        One of those contributors, CECIL BUTLER, controlled Lawndale Restoration, the largest SUBSIDIZED COMPLEX in Chicago, which was SEIZED by the government in 2006 after city inspectors found more than 1,800 code violations. Butler and Davis did not respond to messages. REZKO IS IN PRISON; his lawyer did not respond to inquiries.

The are just still quite shaken from Saddleback, and his camp's admission today, that they have been less than truthful about his persistence to allow infanticide.

                While I accept the fact Obama was pushed through by the DNC and party elites to become the presumptive nominee, he was the weaker of the two remaining candidates by far. Since Hillary dropped out, I'm not satisfied with the outreach Obama supporters have done to attract her supporters. There may be a sense that some are taking her voters for granted, and basically discarding those who are still skeptical.

                  It seems they still think that they are more important than the party. It seems that, in the interest of fair play, they decided that "my way" is the way to go instead. It seems that with the thousands of articles written against their pettiness, and their nominee of choice Ms. Clinton herself supporting the party, they feel righteous in their petulant indignation. In their haste to be validated, they seem to want an apology - in politics. If that's how they want to act, I say go away and cry. Vote McCain if you want, but stop crying about how "the DNC pushed him through" when that's an impolite lie, stop crying about Ms. Clinton being so turned on and against, when most of the offensives have gone against Mr. Obama - per media rules, per media, not cry-baby opinions. That type of blogger is against every thing Ms. Clinton stood for. Every thing.

                    The party elites did push Obama through to the nomination. Nobody is whining, it is a simple fact the Obama will be the presumptive nominee, and he needs Hillary supporters. Hillary is doing her part. Obama needs to do more outreach to her supporters.

                  No, I don't think so. If Hillary had gotten the nom. though, I feel she would be ahead in the polls by at least 15 points.

          Wow you seems to have a lot of facts and that is a good thing. I am pulling for McCain in this one, Obama just cant be trusted and I think he has a personal agenda to fill. I simply do not understand what the American people see in this man. He has lied, used the race card and disrespected our President to get to where he is politically and that to me show signs of a week character. But my problem with Obama is a bit personal due to the fact that he is preying on the minds of the young people and those citizens who are so piss off with Bush to get votes. I feel strongly, that if you are not electable and can't obtain votes simply because you are capable of being a good leader then why run for office in the first place? The American people need to think about who is ready to lead now and stop voting on revenge. Telling it like it is the American citizens are voting in 2008 (the way they are) because they feel in 2000 the election was rigged, plain and simple and that is wrong. My question to every democrat is if Sec. of State Rice, Michael Steele, or General Powell was running for office all three being (Black Americans) then would they vote for these three capable individuals like they are for Obama, the answer is no because all three are Republicans...I love my country to death, I am signing up for Duty as soon as my work contract expires in December, but I will never fully support a candidate like Obama who is un-experience, using race, and flip flopping to get ahead. Out of everything I mention I am deeply sadden to see that my race of people (Black Americans) most not all, are voting for Obama because of who he is, and if those same people would take the time to read history, explore the hard ship our race have overcame, and have some honor then it would be a different story. Millions of people have died and thousands of others risk their lives to see the day we have a true (Black President) so why are people voting for this guy because of who is appear to be. I pray that American look at the facts and vote on who has the talent and skill to be president..........

    the media -- many of them card-carrying members of the John McCain Protection Society -- continue to paper over each new crack in the McCain-as-foreign-policy-authority myth: they love McCain, or at least the McCain they've created in their minds, and they're uncomfortable and embarrassed when the real McCain shows that he no longer has much to do with the character they've created.

  • Posted By: william111 @ 08/20/2008 11:01:23 AM

    October? Here is a preview -- best guess -- of what the McCain has in store for us:
    "Too Tall." An ad claiming that proof of Obama's arrogance is his refusal to be as short as McCain (5' 6").
    "Sex Tape." An ad comparing Obama to Paris Hilton's sex tape to make the point that, well, no point, just that Paris had a sex tape and Obama is, you know, like it.

    "Sex Tape II." An ad with Obama digitally inserted into Paris Hilton's sex tape.
    "Rhymes with Iraq." An ad pointing out that Obama's first name almost rhymes with Iraq. The ad is pulled after it's pointed out that it comes close to mentioning an issue.
    "Michelle Obama: a man?" An ad that's not making any claims, "just asking a question." The ad succeeds in getting the typical media treatment: "As many have noted, the ad uses hyperbole. Still, however, it raises the question, is Michelle Obama a woman?"
    "Barack Obama: gay?" Hard to say, but, per the last ad, if Michelle is indeed a man, then that makes Obama gay.
    "Barack Obama: black gay man." Previous ad forgot to mention Obama's race.
    "akludfilkakmeitceks." An ad with random letters coming up on the screen. The media declares it "a home run."

    America already had one major military operation underway in Afghanistan when the Bush administration -- with McCain's full support -- recklessly poured most of our other military assets into the invasion of Iraq. Today most Army and Marine units are either deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan, preparing to deploy or recovering from deployment. The fact is that at the present time, we do not have the wherewithal to respond militarily to a crisis even if such a response were necessary or appropriate.

    As a result, John McCain's strident statements following Russia's military actions only place into relief the reality that he has continuously supported Bush policies that make us weaker -- in spite of his tough talk.

    JOHN McCAIN and the CHEATING ANALOGY

    NFL Quarterback throws a slant pass to a receiver who takes off down field along the out-of-bound line. The receiver takes the ball into the end-zone, but turns around to learn the refs have called the presumptive touchdown back because the receiver (mistakenly) stepped out-of-bound.

    Obviously the receiver did not intend to negate the potential winning score. But rules are established for a reason. Rules provide all stakeholders some level of affirmation that any cheating, whether accidental or not, does not become an unfair advantage by any party.

    This analogy fits John McCheater and the Saddleback debate fiasco. McCain's argument (through his surrogates) is that he did not cheat by overhearing the first 30-minutes of the Warren-Obama query. (Translation: Let's see you prove I cheated). Whether John McCheater overheard the debate is not the issue. The issue is John McCain CHEATED BY NOT FOLLOWING AGREED UPON RULES, AND THAT RULE WAS TO BE IN THE "CONE OF SILENCE" DURING THE FIRST HOUR OF THE DEBATE. NO EXCUSE!

    John McCain is not an honorable man. What ever John McCain's past may have been, the last 5-years of flip-flopping, lying, cheating, and poor judgment makes John McCain unfit for "Commander-in-Chief of the United States" at this critical time.

    Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran - In April of 2008, McCain was asked what he would do about the growing tensions between Iran and Israel, as well as other Western nations. McCain responded by bursting into song, intoning "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" to the tune of the Beach Boys' classic, "Barbara Ann." The problem there isn't McCain's misguided sense of humor- it's the lack of respect for the severity of a situation in which millions of lives (potentially American lives) are at stake. Had John Kennedy joked about blowing Cuba into oblivion during the Missile Crisis, who knows whether or not the standoff would have ended with a nuclear holocaust? Had Harry Truman publicly ridiculed the Japanese during World War II, it's possible that they would have been even more reluctant to surrender, dragging the war in the Pacific Theater out an additional 6 months or year, and costing the lives of thousands of additional American GIs.

    Without a doubt foreign policy blunders are Mccain's strog points I think the RNC should keep promoting it as such. Ther is nobody who has more pf a strong analogy on foreign affairs than john mcCain.,

    Ha Ha Ha Ho Ho ho He He He

    If it is PAIN you crave then your vote for McCain will establish years of the same

    DEM/LIBS believe Obama will CHANGE the world...The only thing he CHANGES is his name, and which flippin nationality he is...for DIXIECRATS "Im white", for DITSOCRATS "Im black"...for DIPOCRATS "I might be Muslim , I might be Christian?", for MTVers :"Oh heck, I'll be what ever color you want me to be, just vote Obama, and heres your next video".

    INDEPENDENTS, you can join in against the Repigs and give them some of there own medicine, because trust me , the Conservatives and Neo-Con Repub's do not like you anyway if you are black, Oriental, Native American, Hispanic or from any other country originally.

      That kind of racial generalizing is perilous to Obama's cause

      NOW THIS COULDN'T BE CALLED FEAR MONGERING COULD IT? LOL Did you really just tell voters that Republicans hate them so dont vote for a Republican?

      I remember a speech by Obama that sounded alot like this, it went.....

      They're gonna say he has a funny name...
      They're gonna say he doesn't look like all the other presidents on the dollar bills.....

      How pathetic

        Are you not the one who said "all black people are going to vote for Obama"? Then you said "just because I'm white and voting for McCain I'm suppose to be a bigot"? Then you said, "Hey everyone, I'm tired of supporting those people" while referencing the harsh racist names? Then you do the typical middle-name fear-mongering/poem/bash and say "who me"? Wasn't that you Mr. Mo-nay?

          I suppose this is the Democratic way of saying BLUEGRASS Although your pleas for the independant voters are appreciated. We DEMOCRATS are better then the fear mongering that we constantly accuse the Republicans of?

            Actually yes. You forgot to answer the question though. You went off on a little tangent there. Again.

              Questions is plaural meaning more then one. Question is singular meaning only one. Which question would you prefer I ask?

              1% of blacks will vote for McCain/FACT So who are the rest voting for? 94% against Clinton right?

              There's an answer to your question.

              • Posted By: AskPlus @ 08/19/2008 5:04:27 PM

                Here. I'll paste the questions again in case your computer has a one inch monitor:

                Are you not the one who said "all black people are going to vote for Obama"? Then you said "just because I'm white and voting for McCain I'm suppose to be a bigot"? Then you said, "Hey everyone, I'm tired of supporting those people" while referencing the harsh racist names? Then you do the typical middle-name fear-mongering/poem/bash and say "who me"? Wasn't that you Mr. Mo-nay?

                The answer is yes it was you who blogged all those terrible things. That's the answer. Didn't you blog about folks going off subject on tangents too? How strange you missed the question(s) Mr. Mo-nay.
