All the Candidates’ Cars

yes...fascinating...cars they drive....how about the fact the lack of regulation pushed by the republican economic policies over the past decades and finally enacted less than 2 yrs ago when they shredded the regulatory measures placed there by FDR have caused this flop on wall street. Wake up folks...2yrs of not having regulations that resulted from the 30's depression and we're back in the same situation.

I'm a registered republican and this year I will be voting for Senator Obama. I'm pro 2nd amendment rights and believe civil unions is the furthest gay couples should get recognized, but folks these are small issues compared to whether or not you'll have a job tomorrow or if you're pensions and retirement savings will live through this. Stop gettin lead astray by the media and political campaigns and start paying attention to the issues that really will make a difference in you lives. If abortion is a key issue and you can't let it go then stop being hypocrits and realize that the Bible doesn't give any man/woman the right to take another life in any manner...this includes death row and sending our sons and daughters into harms way to kill other human beings....we don't have the authority to take life in any instances.....turn the other cheek and work harder to lead by example and win folks over with good deeds. Help the sick and poor......and we can start in this country first in that department.

Trivlaka, my online nic has nothing to do with the klan and i do not lie. Just because someone is from the south does not make them agreeable with the klan or make them prejudice. If you werent such an bigot you would know that. What part of Russia do you come from comrade? You must be Russian based on your online nic, right??? And for those of you who dont think being a Patriot is important, go find a country of your choosing to live in where patriotism isn't important. Being a Patriot doesn't just mean wrapping yourself in the flag. It also means caring about your country and the people in it. For those of you who don't understand that, I am sorry for you. If you think for one moment Obama gives a flying crap about this country, you are dead wrong. All he cares about is getting to be President. He talks the talk but he can't walk the walk.

Oh and for the record, I spent 21 years in the military of which 1 year was spent in Vietnam. I am retired and fighting every day for the benefits Congress wants to take away from us.

I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight ...

* If you grow up in Hawaii , raised by your grandparents, you're "exotic, different."

* Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, a quintessential American story.

* If your name is Barack, you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.

*Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.

* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.

* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive and first in line behind a man in his eighth decade.

* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.

* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and then left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a true Christian.

* If you teach responsible, age-appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.

* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.

* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America's.

* If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.

O.K. -- much clearer now.

1 car, 1 house, 1 spouse.

Obama '08

So what, the man owns 13 cars. Have you heard of an auto collector? I guess if Jay Leno were to run for public office, he'd be slammed by owning a few forgeign made cars in his collection too! By the way, there are at least 4 Honda plants in the US, Nissan has a few, and I am sure Toyota does too. As for the VW, they are made in Mexico (will probably have a plant in the US some day) and have you heard of NAFTA???!!

Obama doesn't sound too successful to me, LOL. How does a family of four get by with one car???

BTW-How did McCains bombing of the Vietnamese protect or ensure "OUR FREEDOM".

The McCain's are living large because they earned it, or other family members earned it. If you don't have a nice life, it's because you haven't earned it. Stop complaining and go to work. Stop asking for a handout.

You call this news? Are you kidding me? Who cares? Hummm? I wonder who you support?

Comment: WOW,
Dirty little racist trick tying 50 Cent to Our Democratic Nominee.
Just so you know, 50 mostly drives a Rolls Royce Phantom, Bentley, Ferrari and Lamborghini machines. How could a 300 be his FAVORITE?
(Snoop Dog is the big 300 spokesman in the Rap world. Are we interchangeable?)

Harriet Myers drives a Chrysler 300
John Kerry drives one as well.
Adam West (Batman) drives one.
Audrey Hepburn sold one on ebay.

Why use "Gangsta' 50 as a reference with Senator Obama?
What if the Article was about Myers and not Obama? Would you use that reference?

Just last week Fox news went straight from a story on Barack Obama to an OJ Simpson story . They made them share the screen for a few moments....... Disgusting.

This Artcle is by Keith Naughton and Hilary Shenfeld. I first looked up Mr Shenfields other Newsweek published "Gems" and found this one immediately:
---------------------------------------------------------
FRIENDS LIKE THESE
Long before sex, lies and texting caused Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to plead guilty to two felonies and resign on Thursday, he and Barack Obama shared a warm man-hug before a huge Motown crowd.<< (edit)
---------------------------------------------------------

I'd bet you can guess where it went from there.

I am sooooo tired of this crap...You guys think the American people don't notice..

TW

db17 you're wrong! As a percentage of income the wealthiest have myriad different ways to reduce their taxable income. Barack Obama often sites in his speeches the example of the percentage of income that Warren Buffet pays versus that of his secretary (about half). Of course in pure amount, he makes a lot more, but as a percentage of his income it's drastically less.

Well, that's a lie. According to DailyKos, Obama has 2 cars. http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/9/21/11547/3519/609/605517

hey justlurkin, your part of the problem.you own 4 foriegn cars maybe you should move overseas and get your healthcare.alot of things are affected by your buying of foriegn autos your just too stupid to realize it.

tinatuna, what obama is proposing is transfer of wealth from the ones who make money to the ones who do not for whatever reason it is that they don't make the money...we are in the US and everyone has the opportunity to succeed....obama is a good example...It's that there are too many skeletons in his closet from rev erend jeremiah wright, to ayers and his fraudulent ways for money, not to mention the one who launched obama's political career a known terrorist....why do you think that obama's campaign is raising an unheard amount of money??? it is mostly foreign...from the middle east. Why do you think the big lenders are going down? it was bill clinton who is to blame for changes to the lending institutions back in the late 90's....It has been obama who has opposed 95 times to lower taxes...Taxes will go up for everyone....when obama proposes to send out monies to people as way of economic stimulus he says the money will come from big oil and the taxes imposed on them....newsflash these taxes will be passed on directly to us by way of gas increase in price-don't you get it????there is no such thing as free, someone has to pay...and eventually it will be us the common ordinary working (keyword) citizens.....

Can we move on for once and stop raising issues where there is none? Senator McCain is rich by his marriage and probably by inheritance. He has been a US Senator for more than a quarter century. Can we reasonably expect this guy to drive once tiny Hundai and live in a one story condo?
Let's talk about his policies (or lack of policies where appropriate) and leave garde-robe, real estate and size of wallet alone ( or to the tabloids for that matter).
