    Breaking News - McCain Ahead in National Polls

  • Posted By: Shannon in FL @ 09/09/2008 2:08:12 PM

    Honestly, its all 'he said, she said' when it comes to politics. For every article sliming one candidate and lauding another, you can find the opposite tactic with one click. As a group, I find most politicians make promises they never keep. Many promise 'straight talk' and 'change' but it all goes out the window when they take office. We're all being so inundated with information now that its' almost impossible to distinguish who is telling the truth. I don't give a damn about expense reports, or what church the candidates attend, or how many bills they were 'for' or 'against'.

    For me, it is about ISSUES. Economy, health care, education, and the 'choice' issue. I have no interest in religion being part of my government, period. That is the one and only reason I will vote Obama/Biden this election. Not only do I get a more 'honest' feeling from them, not only are they actually talking about issues (and answering questions), but they aren't trying to ram their personal religious beliefs down my throat.

    Anyone who believes religion belongs in the daily running of our government needs to take a step back. They should not mix. There is a major conflict of interest when they are combined. Please, inform yourselves - vote on issues that affect ALL OF US, not a few. Abortion is a touchy subject, but keeping it legal doesn't mean hundreds of thousands of women will go out tomorrow and get one. If you are a person who would never consider it, it isn't an issue. If you're a person who would, legal or NOT, you'll find a way to have one if you feel you need it. Abortion is a smoke-screen issue, to keep people from talking about our economy and how the lower and middle class is literally drowning in debt with no clear alternatives in sight to fix what is going wrong.

    Let's not allow our country to be the laughing stock of the world again by electing the same right-wing fanatics to office. It isn't about religion (or abortion) - it is about common sense and getting our nation, and its' people, back on course.

      McCain and Palin are not trying to ram their religious beliefs down your throat either. It is the liberal media attempting to make you bleive that they are. I would rather whomever is in charge be honest. McCain and Palin appear to be more honest to me. Sure Obama has plans to help the economy. Anyone that has studied economics for more than 1 week knows the trickle down effect will take place when he implements his plans. The middle class ends up being the losers. The rich will simply raise prices to get their money back. People will quit buying things and then people will lose their jobs. The poor people won't have any moeny to make up the lost government revenue from the lost jobs, the rich will already be paying too much, so the middle class will again bear the cost.

      Well said, and if you have noticed John McCain and Sarah Oalin have not discussed issues at all. Again it's all about Far Right swipes at the Democrats, it's ridiculous. And forget about the Christian religious thing. Anyone who pushes that is usually the direct opposite.

    The Dems will lose because the Dems are losers. You can't really blame them for what they and the media are trying to do to Palin. The liberal media is heavily invested in Obama and will look very stupid come November. The lunatic fringe/leftists/enviro-wackos are realizing they have latched onto a loser candidate and their dreams of a utopian marxist society have been dashed once again.

    • Posted By: cbat @ 09/09/2008 1:29:55 PM

      There is no such think as the liberal media. Are you taking lessons from the Rush Limb school of idiot, or what.

      • Posted By: AnyoneButTheCommie @ 09/09/2008 3:42:49 PM

        No such thing as the liberal media? Are you on crack? NYT, Washington Post, MSNBC - all are blatantly liberal rags. You really have your blinders on. It doesn't really matter though - the Dems are self-destructing and there's nothing the liberal rags can do to save them. Sarah Palin may not be perfect, but she struck a certain chord with a lot of Americans. She has awoken the quiet majority. There is a real groundswell of support in my area - support that was non-existent just a few weeks ago. I guess Obama should have picked Hillary after all. Just another blunder by the king of blunders.

  • Posted By: valadezaj @ 09/09/2008 12:20:37 PM

    I think it's interesting Palin has to be "scrutinized" and "vetted" so much when Obama was never touched. Why don't you end the facade MSNBC and change your name to the DNC news channel? At least that would be some honesty for once.

      • Posted By: oneamerican @ 09/09/2008 2:00:25 PM

        I have not seen one article or question concerning how Obama raises his kids. Or is it Michelle Obama's parents that are raising the kids and Barrack uses them for photo opps.

        • Posted By: TJ21 @ 09/09/2008 3:41:26 PM

          First of all, they are a lot younger. And if you think that if one of Obama's daughters were pregnant at the same age as Palin's daughter is, that the GOP wouldn't be attacking him non stop, you are crazy. When the Rev Wright came out, how many questions came out about how Obama could raise his daughters under a Church with "Anti American Sermons". All that was based off 2 or 3 youtube clips. Palin believes in teaching abstinence instead of sex ed yet it didn't work in her own home. That's an issue and that's why it's being discussed. It shouldn't be about her daughter per say but the topic is an important one

    • Posted By: clause @ 09/09/2008 12:46:15 PM

      Where have you been over the past year, obviously not reading any news. Not touched, give me a break. Talk about slime. Read some of these comments about the slime that has been on the news for over a year.

  • Posted By: coutant@alltel.net @ 09/09/2008 2:14:14 PM

    I received an email just today that said the city of Wasilla charged victims for rape kits under Palin's administration. Can you clear that one up too? I'm an Obama voter and am ashamed of myself for believing this crap just because it was against our opponent.

    • Posted By: oneamerican @ 09/09/2008 3:39:11 PM

      If I get shot while getting robbed and go to the hospital to remove a bullet, I pay the bills for the hospital and the ambulance, not the police department or the state. That is the way America works. Doctors need their money. What point are you trying to make. I'm sure if you knew someone that was raped, you could pay for their kit.

  • Posted By: cowalker @ 09/09/2008 11:03:11 AM

    I learned very quickly that the accusation that she cut special education funds was bogus. But I would like to point out that in March 2008 Palin knew that she was going to give birth to a special needs child. Is there any evidence that she was sensitive to the needs of developmentally disabled children before she knew she was going to have one?

    • Posted By: JenRN62 @ 09/09/2008 3:36:07 PM

      The evidence stated in the article said that she had increased the funding over 3 years to its current level.

    Did Newsweek do a fact check for Senator Obama immediately.

  • Posted By: rube @ 09/09/2008 3:07:28 PM

    Senator Obama is a muslim, he is not a Christain, he snorts cocain etc.
    I have not seen one newspaper line item each of these attacks!
    We do know Palin is more to the right then 'W" We do know that she has said that "the Iraq War was a war from God! We do know that she lies repeatedly about Senator Obama and his policies! And we do know that here were al least 40 conservatives more suited and more experienced then Palin for the VP position!
    We dont you report that?

    • Posted By: repaite@msn.com @ 09/09/2008 3:13:01 PM

      First of all... Omaba is not a Muslim. His mother proclaimed herself as an Atheist, so he was brough us an Atheist until he met Rev, Wright. when he was 2o years old.. The only thing he knows is what was taught to him by the rev, wright! Hate America and all whites !

      • Posted By: FightForFreedom @ 09/09/2008 3:32:21 PM

        right, because atheists don't have any knowledge to pass on and the only person you can learn things from is your pastor/rev. leave religions out of it. there's a reason the united states has a separation of church and state (or used to anyway). teach science in schools, since very few people will argue it's completely false, and if you want your kid to learn something religious, take them to a church of your liking, don't try and force your beliefs down everyone else's throat

  • Posted By: exumefran @ 09/09/2008 3:15:50 PM

    Give me a break about defending Sarah Paulin the (bulldog). The woman is a compulsive liar who does not know what it's like to tell the truth. TO top it all, she believes God give Bush the order to send troops to Iraq. If we were crazy enough to allow this woman to become our VP, or president we'll never know when the holy spirit will speak to hear to send us to war. The woman is a lunatic and a liar. Yes, she lies about the (earmarks, the plane on ebay, the cook, the bridge) and she did cut fund for special kids.
    She's too busy lying and instructing people to teach abstinence, yet she forgot to teach her 17 years daughter to keep her legs close until she gets married. She has the nerve to mock Obama for doing community works for the poor and needy. Does she know that Obama with his brain and intelligence could have had a job in any law firms, but choose to help others. She makes me SICK.

    • Posted By: eagle35 @ 09/09/2008 3:31:24 PM

      All this stuff is being investigated and it is being proven false. Also I beg you Liberals to keep insulting Palin's children. Please, please don't stop. How is it working for you? Obama is being creamed in the polls and the Messiah's campaign is completely unhinged. It is truly a delight to watch.

      Just on small fact on the attacks. This list of books Palin "tried" to ban in 1996 include 4 of the Harry Potter books. The first book was not printed until 1997. It doesn't get any better than this.

    Palin WAS, however, part of a Tijuana donkey show.

    The Republican party thinks women are stupid. They think women will automatically vote for a female because she is female. Show the Republicans that you aren't stupid. Hillary supporters knew Hillary. They knew what she stood for and what her ideas were. Palin is unknown. Don't be a mindless vote for a party that doesn't respect you.

    • Posted By: oneamerican @ 09/09/2008 3:29:22 PM

      I think the Republican party is smart. They realized that Obama had a woman who was the best qualified to be VP and he did not choose her. She was not qualified in accomplishments necessarily (maybe she is -- I don't want to debate that now). She was qualified to get him 18 million votes and win the election. Yet he still did not choose her, because it was all about OBAMA. He will do it his way, regardless of what is best for the country or the party. McCain saw those votes out their. He decided that the best way to get those votes was to choose palin as his running mate. If he thinks he should be President why wouldn't he pick the candidate that would net him the most votes. I think that is not only smart, but common sense. Maybe he picked her because she is woman, maybe because she is tough, maybe because she is conservative. It is a calculated risk he took. He would not win if he didn't choose her. He still may not, but he gave himself the best chance in his estimation. Right now the polls indicate he may have made a wise choice. If an October surprise comes that sends everyone running away from him, that was the risk he took. Maybe he wanted Lieberman, maybe Ridge, maybe Romney, but in the end, he made the best choice to give his side a chance. Obama did not. There should be no way this election is this close, let alone McCain leading.

    How can Soledad O'Brien present herself as a professional journalist let alone unbiased when
    she says things that are easily checkable as if they were facts when they are clearly not???

  • Posted By: mecca255 @ 09/09/2008 3:24:40 PM

    Of course newsweek, sweet Sarah Palin has done nothing wrong . You leave her alone, you meanies.

    Nice way to report "unbias news" HA LOL

    Its funny, McCain was calling Obama the anti-christ, well Obama isnt the anti-christ afterall, the the global media system is in full working order

  • Posted By: reformation or bust @ 09/09/2008 2:22:40 PM

    it's really funny, I can't believe that not one person has brought up Bidens plagiarism. Back in 1987 Biden did some big borrowing of words. it was only then that Mr. Biden released a 65-page file, obtained by the Senator from the Syracuse University College of Law, that he said contained all the records of his years there. It disclosed relatively poor grades in college and law school, mixed evaluations from teachers and details of the plagiarism.

    Hmm...funny how we did up Palens dirty diapers but fail to mention Bidens

        You have repeatedly posted on this topic, and each time you make a degrading reference to Republicans or Sarah Palin. You've clearly identified yourself as a member of the Lunatic Left, and your posts have been your opinion and nothing factual or true!

      • Posted By: Betcha @ 09/09/2008 3:18:26 PM

        You have posted several times on this site, and each time you have insulted Republicans and Sarah Palin with name calling and stupid comments. Perhaps you need to take a good look at yourself and realize that you are the epitome of the Lunatic Left. Your comments prove it., and you couldn't be more wrong with some of your opinions that are substantiated with facts!

      • Posted By: gig'em99 @ 09/09/2008 2:42:06 PM

        Both sides play the smear game. It's an election year! Our country is much stronger than a little political spat. Talk about fear mongering

  • Posted By: virginia blow @ 09/09/2008 3:23:05 PM

    Palin should not run if she can't take the press and pressure; all the other candidates had to. McCain is running a campaign on lies and hopes that no one will find out too much about Palin other than she's a woman before November. She can't even give a speech without a propter, and she screws facts when she tries to speak on her own. Its a joke! McCain has put himself first again before his country. This is the worse example of political lies I've ever witnessed. You can't educate someone about foriegn policies in
    2 months. The most important job a VP is foreign affairs. But, with McCain the countrys best interest is not important if a woman can bring him some votes.
