    Your right...so guess what they did....they unsealed Ritcher's divorce files
    fishing for dirt...and guess what they found?
    Nothing!
    ==========
    Yeah, idiot, the divorce files cannot tell us if he f---ked Palin; it will take time to find out the truth, just like with Edwards. Because he, like Edwards, may have skillfully hidden the affair from his wife, so the divorce files will not reflect on that.

      Yeah Edwards was so skillful...that's why he got caught huh.

      See you throw out wild accusation that you got on the Kos...with no proof what soever to back any of them up. Your nothing but a smear merchant....typical Obama supporter....go back to using your other name HarleyH

    OBAMA TRIED TO STALL GIS' IRAQ WITHDRAWAL
    http://www.nypost.com/seven/09152008/postopinion/opedcolumnists/obama_tried_to_stall_gis_iraq_withdrawal_129150.htm?page=0

    According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.

    "He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington," Zebari said in an interview.

    Nothing like putting your own political aspirations first and foremost. Way to go Obama!

    Comment: Biden as VP? that's what you call bad judgement. It took Obama 2 months
    to come up with a loser. Can you imagine Obama running this country during a military
    crisis or deciding whether to go to war or no?
    ===========
    WHO CARES WHAT YOU THIN!! only the devil and bin laden care what you think, because bin laden is fearful of a leader so god with foreign policy, so that is why biden is there for obama, not a window dressing, phony figure like palin.

      So Biden is now your "god" on foreign policy?

    The Obama campaign, perhaps in a sign of desperation, said that in an Obama presidency the Department of Education would become the Department of Sex Education and that Pamela Anderson would be named secretary. Asked to explain the rationale, David Axelrod said: "Hey, carnal knowledge is still knowledge."

    I cannot find anything that lists all those folks, so I'll wait and see if you are Palin in disguise with all that lying tongue.

  • Posted By: Iron Horse @ 09/15/2008 10:27:16 AM

    Yeah, the National Enquirer reported that Scott Ritcher had an affair with Palin that nearly ruined her marriage. He is the business aprtner of Todd Palin. Whether this is true or not, I don't care. But keep in mind that this is the same paper that reported on John Edwards' affair in the first place, and everyone seemed to deny until months later when John admitted to the affair. So, I won't be surprised if it is true Palin f***ked this, and I won't be surprised the slightest because she is a proven Christian liar and hypocrite.

    Tens of thousands of POW's have had the frightening, abusive, painful experience but did not USE IT to obtain political power. I am SICK of McCain using this POW thing, crying, whining, bragging about his experience as if he is one of the FEW americans to have gone through this. He is a user for ultimate power and privilege that goes with political gain. The Dems should "swift boat" him with the other POW's WHO DIDN'T USE their experience to gain some truth and exposure regarding him. No more "nice guy" tactics like Gore and Kerry conducted. The Reps carried on about Clinton's trists, but look at McCain, cheating on a cripped wife, mother of his 3 children with a RICH blond, 18 years younger than him. He is anything BUT a hero.

    McCain is one of the slickest politicians around. His ego is so sick, he liked creating the so-called status of "Marverick" by going against his party, etc., but then he talks out of BOTH SIDES OF HIS MOUTH, depending on which will get him ahead further. Just to show how much he cares about anything other than his own promotion, he chooses a VP candidate that is an insult to the process of electing the highest #2 office within the government. McCain has one foot in the grave already with his age, yet doesn't care about what would happen if he kicked the bucket in a year.... he'd rather win the election with trickery. It's all about him.

    Pandemonium reigns within the inner circle of the Obama campaign according
    to radio commentator Mario Moreno. Mr. Moreno claims that Obama's campaign team is
    split over whether Biden should be asked to withdraw.
    ============
    According to a recent newspaper article, Hillary Clinton actually didn't want to be VP because if she would, Bill Clinton would be forced to make available all his Foundation's records, so she was happy she was not selected. And not picking Biden was a mistake? Huh???? A super-experienced guy who udnerstands America's challenges abroad is less important tha a WOMAN VP solely for being WOMAN? Oh, I know you meant a GODDESS is better than a GOD.

      The only counting that matters is in November.

      Our chief concern should be, if McCain lands the presidency, what else will this country lose that it hasn't already lost?

    Barack Obama should change his rhetoric technique at times he is very academic and he doesn???t pass the message to the voters. He needs to be firm and focus once more to the basic pointsJohn McCain and Sarah Palin want to be elected like Republicans but they are trying to avoid discussing issues critical for the American families. And portraying themselves like reformers because they are embarrassed of the last 8 years of the Republicans ???Bush AdministrationThis election is not only about some bridge in Alaska it is about all the bridges and roads in all of United States because they are all crying out for repairs and maintenance. This is because for the last 8 years the Bush and the Republicans have spent enormous amounts to build up Iraq and they have forgotten about the needs of their own country.
    John McCain and Sarah Plain promise of change: Is a change to Nowhere.
    Nowhere near to help the American people with a real economic change
    Nowhere near to build America???s independence from oil.
    Nowhere near to help the 95% of the American families.
    Nowhere near to help the entrepreneurs and working families to keep jobs in America.
    Nowhere near to provide the medical care reform for the American people and the Veterans who they are not fought for the red and blue states of the electoral map they fought against the terror and to keep America on the map.
    .On the other side if I was Obama I???ll probably be disappointed, because there is not much left of this campaign and the media have turn a blind eye on the false accusations of McCain. They are focusing on how to create more crap stories and they don???t challenge the candidates on the issues.
    We watch the ladies from the ???View??? trying to do their job of the suppose savvy political commentators
    At the of the day Americans have a chance to repair the damages of the Bush Administration. If they are not ready to see this campaign on the colors of the electoral map RED and BLUE. But only focus on the color of the candidates BLACK and WHITE then they deserve another four years of economic chaos, job losses, foreclosures and open new hostile fronts around the world.

      Back in June, McCain challenged Obama to appear in 10 Town Hall meetings with the American people to answer their questions; to state their solutions to the issues that they as Americans want to know to differentiate both candidates from each other. When asked, Obama told McCain what a great idea and said lets do it. Well that is almost 5 months ago and Obama has not accepted to do not even one Town Hall meeting with McCain to talk directly with American audiences as they ask them random questions about their policies, solutions to issues and such. What better way for the American people feel that both candidates care enough to sit on a stage together to listen to what they have to say and to be there to answer directly to their questions (e.g. without having to have news commentators or political pundits in the middle). Unfortunately Obama took the safe way out and forfeited these town hall mtgs at the expense of the American people being in a position to get answers that they want to hear from both candidates to help differentiate between the two on their stances and how they handle themselves in this type of format. Its too bad it didnt happen.

      Hi CC, when I make detailed posts to spell out accomplishments, experience (for instance) of McCain and Palin in some of these blogs, it is not to change the minds of Obama supporters. It is to prove a point that there is merit to just the opposite of what they say and I want others like those individuals that are still on the fence to get exposed to the information I have found when I was doing my research to determine which ticket I feel is best for me. Same with the postings of all of the controversial people that Obama has conciously decided to surround him over the years in one capacity or another - the MSM is not getting out the message the details of these unsavory friends, etc., so given I already have done the research I feel it is worth sharing with those still on the fence as to which ticket they are going to vote for. By doing this, I have managed in some cases to bring some individuals over to the McCain side by exposing them to information that I researched and used in my own decision-making to vote for McCain. So to me, it has been worth it if I can help take away a vote from Obama. ; - D

        I am not sure obama is a guy anymore as I observed him and listened to him talked! Whenever obama's being asked a question, obama's always beat around the bush for couple of minutes, repeat the question, and almost never give you a "yes" or "no" answer! Haven't you guys notice the same thing?

        • Posted By: sajawebb @ 09/14/2008 10:07:11 PM

    Obama made a big mistake selecting Biden as VP. Again he ignored the importance of the female vote. He should had picked Hillary. Biden does'nt reflect change. Biden said all, "Hillary is a better candidate than I for VP or president. "seriouly". Is showing in the polls, women prefer Mccain 51 to 41, enthusiasm is down. I don't think Obama is going to make it.

  • Posted By: josemarti @ 09/15/2008 10:20:38 AM

    Folks, the end may be near for Biden. He is due to give a speech attacking McCain this week. The Obama campaign will then gauge the effectiveness of the speech. I am told by reliable sources that if Biden tanks he will be asked to feign an illness and withdraw and that Hillary will then become the VP candidate. This is expected to dramatically change the dynamics in favor of Mr. Obama. Stay tuned.

    investigation that found Palin???s management style to be eerily similar to the Bush
    Administration???s. The article alleged cronyism (making a high school friend the head
    of the State Division of Agriculture), punishing enemies (Troopergate may not have
    been an isolated incident), and secrecy (using a Yahoo email account to hide emails
    from FOIA requests). (firstread.msnbc.com).

      The Biker and the Lion:

      A biker is riding by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into
      the lion's cage.

      Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull
      her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
      The biker jumps off his bike, runs to the cage and hits the lion square
      on the nose with a powerful punch.

      Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and
      the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.
      A New York Times reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter
      says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in
      my whole life.'

      The biker replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind
      bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.'
      The reporter says, 'Well, I'm a journalist from the New York Times, and
      tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page... So, what do
      you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have? '
      The biker replies, 'I'm a U. S. Marine and a Republican.'

      The following morning the biker buys The New York Times to see if it
      indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on front page:
      'U. S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH'

    ========
    The word of an ignorant radio commentator is your best source of info, huh? Can you back up that claim that is easy to lie on the airwave with any newspapers/factchecking sources? Otherwise, your sources are sources of ignorance. Go with their flow of ignorance. Even the NYT commented that Obama may be having money problems, but then came a huge fundraising and a 500,000 new donors in a sinlge month.
