    Obama can deliver the same speach, using different examples, over and over very well. He has never managed anything successfully, or written a single piece of legistrtion in his short, short time as a senator. His only message while in Washington DC has been "NOT PRESENT", cause I want to be President. Wake up people. Our country cannot be providing on the job trainning to Obama at this time in our history.

      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, yours is 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 next 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.

      OK, that makes it much more clearer now???

    Guilty by Association - McCain's associations

    The GOP is grasping at straws. They have nothing substantive against Obama, but boy are they good at making up lies. This has been a leading Karl Rove tactic for years, and if America falls for this again we should be ashamed of ourselves. Not to mention the obvious fact that this is all a smokescreen to keep the focus off of the fact that Palin and her Alaska associates are in contempt of court for refusing to testify in the Troopergate hearings. After Nixon and Clinton, Americans are to some extent jaded, but really, would you want a VP who refuses to attend hearings in her own defense, and instructs her employees not to testify? That smells like guilt. It surely doesn't give the impression that she has done no wrong and has nothing to hide.

    This year, the GOP offers you an angry old man and a woman who, while personable, is desperately uniformed about national and international issues. Both of them are far right politically. McCain used to be a maverick, but since 2004 he's voted 90% with Bush. McCain's policies are not original or reformist, despite how he's tried to co-opt Obama's popular message of change. Please go to the websites of both of the candidates and read their platforms. Obama's Blueprint for Change has more good ideas than McCain's plan. Compare them yourself. Obama's basic premise is that tax dollars should be spent to make America stronger and to improve the lives and well being of our people. For example, he uses education programs to train a new technology workforce, contributing to energy independence, creating jobs and improving the economy. When you read McCain's plan you will find no over-arching design to get America back on track. Instead you'll find more tax cuts for the wealthy, de-regulation of the health care industry, and a stated intent to overturn Roe v. Wade.

    I'm a Republican. Although I embrace some forward-thinking social values, in the past I've rarely voted Democrat. My thinking was that since Republicans grow robust economies, by voting Republican I'd be endorsing a plan that would grow wealth for our nation, and then we'd be able to afford social programs. It was a good strategy for a couple decades, but I have to say that the tenure of W. Bush has changed my mind. Not only is there nothing fiscally responsible about today's GOP, the insidious alignment of the party with religious intolerance has really turned me off.

    On the other hand, the intelligent luminous thought of Barack Obama has ignited my passion for politics and my patriotism. I want a President who puts America first and can get the economy back on track. In my mind, values voting takes a back burner when we are faced with a meltdown of the economy. It is time for a change, a real change. The Republicans have controlled the Presidency for 38 of the past 50 years, but they have fallen down on the job. The Democrats have a stellar candidate this year, and I am voting for Obama.

      You still can't count. It's 30 out of the last 50, not 38. It's 28 out of the last 40, but that's a far cry from 38 out of the last 50. Your miscounting might be purposeful - if you go back the additional 10 years, you get to the Johnson presidency, with its combination of war escalation in Southeast Asia and massive expansion of government domestically via the Great Society. It required virtually all of the 1980s to dismantle the excesses of the 1960s, but fortunately Reagan was able to do just that, resulting in the breakup of the Soviet Union and an economic expansion unmatched in world history. The problem with George W Bush is that he governed more like a democrat than a republican (or at least a conservative), with unfocused foreign interventionism and an out-of-control budget. The remedy for this misguided policy should be to scale back government activity, both here and abroad, but unfortunately, we are likely to get Barack Obama who wants to ramp up government spending by $1 trillion while promising tax cuts to almost everyone. This is disingenuous - it simply will not happen. The fact that no one questions the ridiculous contention that Obama will cut taxes for 95% of American families is proof that the media is biased toward Obama. Where will the money come from? You could double the taxes on the "rich" (killing off savings and investment at the same time) but still, it's not enough money for the ambitious spending programs that Obama has promised. The fact that Bush and the GOP have irresponsibly accumulated deficits does not mean that this is an idea to be emulated. This is why I am voting for McCain. With his visceral distaste for pork, we at least have a fighting chance to get spending under control. And with a substantial democratic majority in Congress, there will be no additional tax cuts.

    I am afraid of Ms. Palin. She is different than most public figures. She appears she doesn't read many newspapers or magazines. Her debate was not very credible. Palin refused to address the questions. She refuses to talk with the media. How fair is this? Can we do any better than this? I will be so happy when this is over.

      Thankfully this wild eyed Canadian does not represent the majority. Most Canadians, as do the majority of Americans see Obama for what he is. A brilliant, compassionate man about to take office and bring this countries standing back to a place of pride, and begin the work of economic reconstruction, rejouvination and will incite the 2nd Manhattan project in greenery.

      Being Canadian, I suspect that you do not understand what it is to be a real American or you would not post bizarre comments like this. America is a land of religious freedom. Palin plays to the anti-american people who regret this tolerance and would have us replace our democracy with a taliban-style fundamentalist theocracy. As for patriotism, let me quote you the words of one of our greatest American authors, Mark Twain. 'Patriotism is supporting your country always, and your government when it deserves it.' Over the last 8 long years, we have had a government that has shown nothing but contempt for the American constitution and has not earned our support. Palin with troopergate is already showing what type of government she will be a part of. This is why John McCain will not be POTUS. .

    Karl Rove has done as much as anyone to damage this country during his years in politics. He is the master of form over substance, who has perfected the art of packaging politicians and manipulating the public. Just read his comments on attacking Obama/Biden. These tactics are all form and zero substance, but what's really sad is that the "ordinary" Americans that he attempts to attract are fooled by this garbage.

    "McCain-Palin must deepen those doubts by pounding away on questions about Obama's character, judgment and values. Drawing on Obama's own record and statements, they need to paint him as a big spender, class warrior and cultural elitist; they need to say he's never worked across party lines or gotten his hands dirty solving big issues."

  • Posted By: MorrisonRepublican @ 10/06/2008 12:01:25 AM

    I am voting for the real conservative thinker - I'm voting for Senator Obama.

    Senator Obama is a dynamic leader with the vision and temperament to achieve responsible fiscal policy, intelligent foreign policy and a reconstruction of our appallingly abused military. He is a man that I trust to restore, support and defend our badly battered Constitution of the United States.

    Senator Obama???s superior grasp of foreign policy along with his steady, conservative and thoughtful assessment of situations as they arise is a breath of fresh air. The advisers that he brings along with him understand the need to repair our debased relations with other countries so vital to the security of our own nation.

    We are all voting for a person to fill the highest office of the most powerful nation on earth. We need someone who has a superior intellect as well as the temperament required to make hard decisions without causing international incidents or alienating us from the rest of the world.

    Senator Obama is the conservative, not McCain. Vote for Senator Obama.

      As an independent, and almost dedicated 3rd party supporter, I too, have realized the possibilities of Obama and the team he will create. Normally, I am one of the apathetic ones, but I see his intellect, and I see his compassion. Unfortunately for some, the color of that compassion seems to be a bit too much to bare.

    The fact that you blast Sarah isn't shouldnt be an issue.

    why are you so damned focused oc comparing Sarah with Barrack? THATS jOHN'S STRATEGY.

    I'm telling you ,something is coming out of that debate on tuesday that obama is not going to like.

    they are planting there seeds sarah out blasting barrack on william ayers all the conservative news organizations replaying his youth as a radical, i betcha they have some info that will show evidence of barracks

    I believe Mr. Rove has proven to be a traitor to this country and has compromised our national security for his own political gain. He is a perpetual liar and does nothing but encourage divisive language, pitting American against American to further his own agenda.

  • Posted By: Tabi @ 10/05/2008 6:30:12 AM

    Rove isn't questioning Obama's character, he's simply saying that one has to make other people question his character. This is precisely the reason why he is such a great commentator: few men have as much understanding on how to run and win a campaign as Rove does. A good example of instilling doubt would be to point out the Rove also wrote about how Obama could win the party--thus making a person who questions anyone who Rove has supported (dagasub) question Obama. Also, considering the tone with which this is written, this is far from propaganda.

    One thing about Palin and Biden though: does anyone else find it odd that there are significantly more articles about Palin not talking to the press than articles about conversations Biden has had with the press?

    • Posted By: PleaseChange @ 10/05/2008 8:23:33 AM

      Karl Rove is a brilliant political strategist, yet part of the reason for his success is his "by any means necessary" philosophy (sorry Malcolm). A few weeks ago, when McCain had gone over the top negative, just before Obama decided enough was enough and come back swinging, Rove was the one who pointed our that McCain had gone over the top. McCain stopped (at least relatively as there is always negative campaigning in an election whether we like or not; that is the reality). What a strategy. Sucker punch over and over again and when you opponent gets ready to respond appropriately, Karl Rove changes the rules. The media reponse...well, if Karl Rove say enough is enough, then wow, that must mean both sides are over the top. What a set up. I wouldn't trust anything advice that Karl Rove gives Obama. BTW, Rove is poltical analyst for Fox news. Does that tell you anything?

      • Posted By: Tabi @ 10/05/2008 10:41:13 PM

        Politics is largely about narrative. This theory has only become more and more entrenched over the years. Rove's strategy is currently the most effective version of that, where one not only paints a positive narrative of oneself but a negative narrative of one's opponent (preferably one that parallels the positive narrative). Both sides are doing it. The Democratic party has been hitting McCain since March with the blatantly false negative narrative that McCain is Bush. They don't do this because it is true, they do this because they know they have to keep repeating it in order to make it stick. Much of Obama's negative narrative came from the Hillary campaign.

        If Rove were hired as a policy analyst, I might be concerned about his bias--but not as a political analyst. It is precisely the "by any means necessary" that makes him such a great political analyst: here is political cunning divorced from policy.

    n a few weeks we will make a choice that will decide our future.
    I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
    Also, he perfectly predicted the current real estate market meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen in the next couple years
    is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
    The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide the largest morgage bank in the world,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch which are 3 out of the top 5 wall street firms. Also, Fanny and Freddy Mae which hold 50 percent of the home loans in the United States.
    The government took them over because they are essentially bankrupt.If they didn't the entire financially system would virtually shut down, the stock market would crash and we would suffer beyond what any of us have seen before.

    McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
    That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand exactly what is broken.
    It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use complex mathematical models very few people understand.
    Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.

    Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
    Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
    No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He either didn't care or didn't realize that anything was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime.
    It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
    even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a surplus like Bush did but a tanking economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
    If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
    When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
    So why are the polls even close then ?




    Mccains spokesperson just said they dont want to talk about the economy anymore. Instead they would rather make up lies and
    and half truths and try a smear campaign .

    But, what she has done is insert her own conclusion over the NY Times conclusion that said there was no real relationship between Obama and Ayers.

    She is inserting that Obama was palling around with Ayers which is completely false.

    In other words, SHE IS TELLING A BALDFACE LIE OF HER OWN CREATION.

    THIS PROVES SARAH IS A LIAR JUST AS MCCAIN IS AND WILL SAY ANYTHING TO GET INTO THE WHITE HOUSE. (And I might add to avoid her fate in Alaska)

    This is really disturbing. Because Palin now has an audience, SHE HAS CHOZEN TO LIE.

    My question is how many people are going to fall for this?

    How man people are going to allow themselves to be lied to?

    How many people are going to be duped by Palin and McCain?

    HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE USED BY THESE
    LIARS?

    WHEN ARE MCCAINS SUPPORTERS GOING TO ASK FOR THEIR POSITIONS ON THE ISSUES INSTEAD OF JUST HEARING FEAR AND SMEAR?

    WHEN?

    Senator McCain, I know that you are becoming desperate, but try and remember your promise to run an honest campaign. 'Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?'
