Where have all the bloggers gone? Peace and serenity at last. Mightcline

Oh yeah. The mayor of Detriot is a dumbass and a liar and that links him to and affects Obama someway because he's black?!?!!? What a stupid article. Newsflash. All white criminals somehow must be directly linked to john McCain so that will probably hurt him. Where the hell do these guys get the premise for these articles? Probably getting some side pay from the swift boaters again.

Kapmep:

You are a racist mofo! you white trash!

I have every confidence that with Obama's immaculate organizational skills he will get more than his share of votes to come up on top in Michigan. Michigan needs the government's help on a variety of issues and Obama is the one to do it. Let's get real: Obama cannot be held responsibile for every person's actions that he meets when he gets out of his house and it is not incumbent upon him to do that.

If Obama is guilty by association than Palin is definitely guilty being that her husband (the man she was sleeping, having babies with, etc.) was part of a group who wanted Alaska to suceed from the USA. Give us a break.

I have every confidence that with Obama's immaculate organizational skills, he will be getting more votes than he needs to come up on top in Michigan, based on the fact that the region is in dire need of government action and he is the one to do it. Obama cannot be charged for every person's actions every time he steps outside of his home. Each person is responsible for his own actions and he's not going to claim responsibility for every person he comes into contact.. Let's get real, here.

Good post Shae930. How far do you take this guilt by association? My laptop would burn out searching the list of lobbyist, fundraisers, business associates, etc. of John McCain run afowl of the law. This article has a political and racist tone. I am still waiting for the article on John Mccain.
Shame on the author and Newsweek.

NO, IT WILL NOT HURT OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN. If these 2 CANDIDATES were the closest of friends, childhood friends, family, perhaps it will BUT these 2 are not! The Detroit Mayor was sentenced for his own doings, he deserves it and that is his problem. You commit a crime, you pay for it! Period.


So, as Obama said, lay off on personal issues, and get to issues, stay there. The RNC speakers were all in the defensive mode including Mr. Lie-bermann and Pallin from the Fallin'Grace of the bridge from nowhere! What a shame and who listens to this man anyway who has more 3 faces... democrat, independent and republican!

I am very excited of this election because for the first time, we have a COPY CAT REPUBLICAN asking people to vote for him to deliver CHANGE! His speech was a true acceptance that his party under the Bushes administration need change badly! No wonder why, Bush and Cheney have to be away from this convention so that McCAIN can affirm that there is a NEED OF CHANGE to happen in Washington.

STICK TO YOUR SLOGAN ... AND WHAT'S YOUR SLOGAN AGAIN? AH, MCCAIN/PALIN, COPY CATS OF CHANGE. MAVERICK SEEMS OLD... SO IT HAS TO BE CHANGED RIGHT? SO, EVERYTIME YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND YELL THE WORD CHANGE, YOU ARE SUBLIMELY TELLING PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR THE BARACK OBAMA. AS MANY TIMES AS YOU SPIT OUT CHANGE IN YOUR SPEECHES, WE HEAR, LET'S VOTE FOR THE OBAMA/BIDEN, THE TRUE AND ORIGINAL MESSENGER OF CHANGE!

SOMETIMES CHANGE IS INEVITABLE, AND IN THIS CASE, WE REALLY NEED A CHANGE! AND OBAMA GETS IT!

ALOHA

Why is Obama not bringing up the Keating-Five debacle on McCain. McCain and the five other senators where reprimanded by the senate for their corrupt and illegal roles. This is is a direct McCain criminal act, not that of a friend.

The Keating Five scandal was prompted by the activities of savings and loan: Lincoln Savings and Loan Association of Irvine, California. Lincoln's chairman was Charles Keating, served five years in prison for his corrupt mismanagement of Lincoln.

McCain and Keating had become personal friends following their initial contacts in 1981. Between 1982 and 1987, McCain had received $112,000 in political contributions from Keating and his associates. In addition, McCain's wife Cindy McCain and her father Jim Hensley had invested $359,100 in a Keating shopping center in April 1986, a year before McCain met with the regulators. McCain, his family, and their baby-sitter had made nine trips at Keating's expense, sometimes aboard Keating's jet. Three of the trips were made during vacations to Keating's opulent Bahamas retreat at Cat Cay. McCain did not pay Keating (in the amount of $13,433) for some of the trips until years after they were taken, when he learned that Keating was in trouble over Lincoln.

Why is the media quiet about this and why has New York Times not continued the revelation about McCain's mistress, who was paid-off at the Union Station, DC to shutUp? We are about to elect a maverick crook, president.

IWow, how in the world did Kilpatrick???s sex scandal ever get tied to Obama is a mystery. I believe the Neocons are really worried. I happen to be an independent and to see the vitriol spewed by the religious wing-nut right makes me scratch my head. This is especially curious in light of record unemployment, increased job loss, record foreclosures and record oil company profits.

You, republicans have done a bang up job. I do mean bang, ???shock and awe??? was the only bang you dopes got right. I feel that Obama can???t do any worse than the dope who is in the White House today, unless we put the other dope ???McDope??? in the White House in November. If that happens, lets all get our money together to start donating to the red cross, salvation army and all of the other organizations that started the soup kitchens. I have a feeling we will be back in the land of the Great Depression.

Great Depression, hmmmm, wasn???t a Republican president on the watch during that time too?? Yes, good ole Herbert Hoover. Well, I got my tin can ready if McDope gets in office and his pitbull in lipstick takes over if he kicks the bucket. Irony upon irony is that a Democrat, Franklin D. Roosevelt led the country out of the Great Depression.

Maybe McDope should get elected. Before you guys (Obamamites) go crazy, if we let these idiots run the country into the ground, I mean, all the way into the ground like they plan on doing, the Republican Party will be finished, I mean it will be an insult to call someone a Republican. Yeah. Go Mcdope/Pitbull 08- because you can do worse than the joker who is in there now.

Palin's husband was a member of the Alaska Independence Party, which advocated seceding from the USA- just like the treasonous traitors of the Confederacy who got their butts kicked in the Civil War. She used to speak at AIP gatherings. Talk about un-American, un-patriotic.

Are you serious? Does the following hurt McCain?

August 6, 2008

Missouri Republican State
Representative, Scott
Muschany, was indicted for
sexual assault of a 14 year old
girl. Muschany has posted a
$5,000 bond and if currently
free. He faces a fine of up to
$5,000 and a prison term of up
to 7 years.

July 10, 2008

Alaskan Republican State
Senator John Cowdery was
indicted on conspiracy and
bribery charges stemming from
FBI wiretaps. Cowdery is
accused of trying to bribe
Democrat Donny Olson who
was running for Lt. Governor
and is currently cooperating
with the investigation.

Connecticut Republican Party Chairman Chris Healy was
arrested for drunk driving. This was Healy???s second DUI
arrest. His first arrest was in Connecticut in March 2002,
when he received a suspended sentence and an 18-month
probation term.

The chairman of the Republican Party in Brown County, Donald Fleischman, faces
criminal charges for allegedly fondling a 16-year-old Ethan House runaway and
providing the boy with beer and marijuana late last year. He was charged with two
counts of child enticement, two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a child and a
single charge of exposing himself to a child.

If convicted, Fleischman faces 52 years in prison.

Guilt be association? How about Palin's husband, who belonged to the Alaska Independence Party? Palin was a frequent speaker, too. AIP advocates Alaska seceding from the USA. Talk about un-American and un-patriotic. That's the same thing advocated by the treasonous traitors connected with the Confederacy.

yeah yeah I got it it is important - does Obama have crazy friends or whatever. The important thing is - How does someone have a 2% approval rating - Charles Manson probably has a higher rating
