    I have been saying this for weeks; Sarah Palin is a poisoned gift for the McCain campaign. The base's infatuation with her and McCain ads telling downright lies about Obama' record ("He will raise taxes on most Americans" and "He supported sex education for kindergardeners") are short term victories, because they gloss over the real issues in this campaign and the truth has a way of getting out. In the few times she has talk since her being picked she has shown that A) She doesn't know how Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae work (and how can you not know THAT at this juncture and B) She didn't even know what the Bush Doctrine was!

    If McCain was the man he was in 2000 this would be a hard choice for many people but he is more of the same. No dice.

    .
    NOW DON'T YOU FIND IT STRANGE . . . .

    . . . . that when a biracial Democratic Presidential nominee does all he can do to keep 'RACE' out of the campaign , , , , the sly Evangelical Religious-Right Hypocrites (aka Biblical Pharisees), do everything within their power to subliminally remind its confederate-loving hypocrites that the Democratic nominee is a BLACK man!?!?

    CASE POINT #1: Obama is arrogant and elitist.

    McCAIN's TRANSLATION #1: Obama is a young Black that can read and speak well therefore he is an "Uppity-Ni&&@%#".

    - - - - -

    CASE POINT #2: Obama's "lipstick on a pig" comment (that McCain has used numerous times himself) is an attempt to disrespected Sarah Palin by calling her a pig.

    McCAIN's TRANSLATION #1: Obama is attacking the honor of our White Women. Therefore any self-respecting White man should rise and defend her honor against the "Uppity-Ni&&@%#".

    - - - - -

    CASE POINT #3: Obama's successful foreign tour is because he is a brainless celebrity like Paris Hilton.

    McCAIN's TRANSLATION #1: Give no credit to Obama's history making foreign tour because he is a Black airhead with the substance equivalent to Paris Hilton. Any Black person reaching Obama's status is because they are only entertainers and athletes. Surely, it can't be because Obama & Biden are smarter and wiser than McCain and Palin.

    - - - - -

    CASE POINT #4: Obama will "appease" the Iranian leaders and not support Israel.

    (Ironically, the Bush administration is "effectively appeasing" the Iranians right now. They have already "appeased" the North Koreans with billions of dollars and resources. And only recently, after two terms, has McCain and Bush advocated middle-east peace talks).

    McCAIN's TRANSLATION: Obama is a coward which can be expected because he is Black. Obama can't stand up and face foreign leaders.

    (Actually, I hope Obama never look Putin in his eyes as did Bush and see Putin's good soul. Actually, I hope Obama don't look Putin in his eyes [as did Bush] at the next Olympic while Russian forces race through ally territory, only for Bush to wait until he got home to talk tough. Notice, Bush did not talk tough to Putin when he was face-to-face with Putin in China. PEOPLE - - THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES)

    CASE POINT #5: RNC > > Obama was a "Community Organizer & Activist". Bid deal!

    McCAIN's TRANSLATION: Community Organization is an urban thing that concerns only Black folks. Whites don't need to put stock in this matter.

    (Ironically, community organization is an American thing with its roots stemming from America's push to the west during the mid-to-late 1800's. And as of today, there are far more predominantly White community organizations than any other ethnic community organizations. So why Guiliani and the RNC slyly insinuated "Community Organization" as an ???Urban [Black] Thing" is beyond me).

    Well at least McCain/Bush was honest about why we went to war in Iraq. At least the media was honest about it, like they are about the current poll numbers.

    Why would we want want Obama in the White House? He would be terrible for the economy. Look at how we've prospered under Bush. Those wimpy Democrats, always trying to stick to the issues. Trying to regulate emmissions. I like my hurricanes.

    • Posted By: ayeaga @ 09/13/2008 5:28:29 PM

      Allan Greenspan (former Federal Reseave Chairman) just said the country cannot pay for Mccain's tax cut proposal. The economy is the #1 issue in this campaign. Obama's proposal is more realist., which is to make cut on 95% of tax payers.
      So how do you arrive at the idea that McCain is good for the economy?

    Where you got the idea that Iraqi oil was coming strictly to the US is a mystery. Iraq juat signed an oil deal with China...not the US. Iraqi oil is going to China. We are continuing to pay for..you and me...a war that has cost us billions and billions of dollars while our citizens are losing jobs, homes, being blown away of flooded out by hurricanes etc, Our gov't BORROWS the money we don't have from countries like India and China. China won't have to attack us militarily, they are already taking us over economically. Sarah Palin said we might have to militarily support Georgia.....with what??? We don't have enough available troops to send to Afghanistan which is where we should have been all along.. Sarah Palin still insists Iraq planned 9/11 when we know that's not true. Have you looked at your property values recently?? Our country is in serious trouble. 4 more years of McBush may just finish us off!!

    America is where it is now due to the homosexual communities attempt to legislate the absolution of their sins by forcing the legalization of homosexual marriage. The Democrats only have themselves to blame for their failure to recapture the oval office and this failure will continue as long as the Democrats insist on placing their racist anti religion agenda on the tip of their spear...

    • Posted By: Spacer @ 09/13/2008 1:06:05 PM

      The bible says "thou shalt not bear false witness," which puts the twin liars McCain and Palin in danger of hell fire and damnation by their own sanctimonious standards. So if the gays are going to hell, a lot of Republicans will be there too.

        or to quote William Jefferson Clinton "If elected I will never ratify NAFTA." Looks like a couple of Democrats will be joining those liar Republicans in the fires of Hell. The bible also says that "homosexuality is one of the few ways that man sins against himself." Latin Hell translates to modern English "Death"

          When you put quotation marks around something, it's supposed to mean that the source to which you're attributing the quote said the actual words. Otherwise, the quotation marks are a lie.

          That's right, I'm calling you a liar. Prove me wrong.

          • Posted By: RKing123 @ 09/13/2008 4:49:29 PM

            These quotes are accurate and if you want proof just Google the quote word for word. I've met many in my life that demand the exact quote in an effort to discredit the quote in order to turn the light of truth from that which they wish to remain hidden.

    Americans will get what they deserve if John McCain is elected. Hey, if I was China I would call in every single loan and collapse the economy if that fools wins. But then who knows, McStupid and his partner will probably cause WWIII and end the world anyway. If thats what you want go for it! I know Putin is watching closely and you will get what you deserve. I don't want a president for half the people and McCain has NEVER done anything for blacks so why should they vote for him? If I recall he voted against MLK Day twice. He would never have gotten any major amount of support. He's a dishonest idiot with no education!

If that's the case, that would be 99.9% of Obama's black supporters (and if the genius one doesn't get it - I am implying that the .1% not supporting him is educated!!!!)

      • Posted By: Nell215 @ 09/13/2008 2:59:13 PM

        Every black person I know has gone to college so I doubt its the percentage you named. Education doesn't just have to happen in school either. Stop taking what you hear on TV and actually do some learning.

    Yes it is...but it's not the white people who are racist. The white people are fairly evenly divided between the candidates. It's the black people who are all voting for the same person (a black person!) Isn't that just too coincidental. Give me a break. So, if BO looses, it's because white people are racists and didn't vote for him? No. It's because they decided to vote for the best candidate for the job.

      .
      Huhhh SCgirl . . . .. You are wrong and you intentionally or ignorantly left out a very important fact.

      FACT #1:
      - Black folks are the most loyal Democratic voting block.

      FACT #2:
      - Blacks have been voting 85% to 95% Democratic since President Franklin D. Roosevelt sheperd the nation out of Republican hands and out of "The Great Depression", and through World War II.

      FACT #3:
      - Yes, 90%-to-95% of Blacks are lining up to vote Obama, BUT THEY ARE DOING WHAT HAS BEEN DONE FOR EVERY "WHITE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE" since Roosevelt threw out the corporate a$$-kissing Republicans who led the American people into The Great Depression and did nothing to help the people out.

      Maybe when the Republican Party and its "Evangelical Religious-Right" masters overhaul their party platform to be more inclusive, then maybe they can eat into the Democratic hold of the Black vote block. But on second thought, the Republican Party don't care enough to consider going after the Black vote. Bush and Rove proved that during Hurricane Katrina and during their past 8-year reign.

        • Posted By: jlzmvar @ 09/13/2008 3:33:48 PM

          I think they vote Democrat because they give free handouts through social programs. Why won't congress vote to give urinalysis tests to people on foodstamps or collecting unemployment. Why won't congress vote to have welfare changed to workfare, where you have to perform 40 hours of service to get paid, instead of sitting at home doing nothing. That is why they vote DEM, because the party is socialist, take from the people who earned it and give to those who are lazy.

            TO "JLZMVAR"
            You left out the part of Reagan's Welfare Queens which he used to paint a false picture of something that did not exist in the 1980's. Translation, he lied about that, but he was okay with many other things.

            You people need to learn and read, because you are an embarrassment to the White race.

            FACT #4: As of 2007 statistics, the biggest users of welfare and other social programs are Whites; with the bulk of the poor Whites stemming from Appalachia and throughout the south and some Midwest. Blacks are second on the list, but Latino/Hispanics are quickly threatening to push Blacks to third on the social programs list.

    Palin DOES NOT favor teaching creationism in public schools. Unfortunately today's reporters don't care if they know the truth or not, as long as they push their liberal agenda. I have to admit, it's been very enjoyable watching and reading about how Democrats are gnashing their teeth and going berserk over Sarah Palin. Whenever Democrats behave this way I know Republicans are doing something right!

    • Posted By: suzvoter47 @ 09/13/2008 3:49:28 PM

      I am a registered independent and did ck fact check .org. Palin does in fact agree about teaching creationism in puublic schools informally alongside other "scientific theories" sych as evolution.
      Hence, she has not thrown out the baby with the bath water, but has sanctioned it being taught as well.

      The problem with this is the issue of seperation of Church and State and how do we go about keeping that seperate within our government such as our schools when Creationsim advocates something bigger than ourselves created us. Thsi will ultimatley lead to problems...See the past articles on such issues of a school in PA that challehged this issue a few years ago. It has a very strong possibilty of creating division in any community if forced upon the people.

    McCain and Palin are a shame and embarrassment to America. McCain keeps shifting from Democrat to Republican positions in the Senate, then as a culmination of his convention, grabs Obamas CHANGE slogan. Palin doesnt know anything about international affairs. She equates worldviews with international affairs .Enough of the same ! I hope they leave AMerica.

    • Posted By: RKing123 @ 09/13/2008 1:26:10 PM

      So let me get this straight: McCain demonstrates bipartisanship in his daily dealings in service to our country while Obama consistently demonstrates partisanship in his limited service to our country and you want to hand the mantle of change to the Muslim Racist?

      • Posted By: Rose Black @ 09/13/2008 1:42:22 PM

        You are the one who is the racist. It has been proven time and again that Obama is not a Muslim. He is a Christian, so please stop printing this lie. However, no doubt you are a Republican and obviously the truth doesn't matter much to your party. It's more than evident by the lies that the Republican Party has stooped to with these smear tactics. It's only because they have no concrete ideas to lead this country out of the dump that it has fallen into. I can't wait until the debates so that we can stuff the unavoided proof down your throats.

          Again I ask for proof and receive more words. There is no proof the O'bama is not a Muslim only the assertions of an increasingly desperate Democratic Party.
          As for me: I am a registered Independent who voted Democrat the last two elections. But rest assured I will not be making that mistake this go around - the racist Democrats will loose until they change
