    The fact that Fox News Network is taking the position of launching a series of all out assaults against senator Obama???s character is a sad day in journalism. They should be ashamed of the immoral and unethical standards that their network displays on a continual basis. What they must be made to understand is that as citizens we rely upon networks for their fair and accurate reporting of events and we will not tolerate anything less, especially when its over the top or maybe I should say as far right as Fox News Network is. It is time to take a stand against Fox and look to other networks for fair and accurate news coverage.

    Yet another template is on display with Obama and Little Joe, that of Pinnochio. Both are essentially wooden creations of an unseen puppet master, a very rich one, hence the hundreds of millions of $$$$$, oh yes, some VERY big contributors. Both lie continuously, but only when their mouths move. The only difference between them and Pinnochio is that Pinocchio eventually became a real person. Say, since the subject is sleazy campaign contributions, anybody notice that two of the top 3 recipients of $$$$ from Freddie/FNM were Obama and Kerry? Are you starting to get the picture as to which side of the financial corruption Obama, Biden, and Kerry are on? Is it sinking in that Obama's hundreds of millions of $$$$ and the huge financial disaster are part of the same sordid picture? And the media, which fancies itself the "public watchdog" (yeah, right,), is in essence aiding and abetting the corruption and the ripoff by backing Obama? The media will NOT tell the truth about the financial corruption, because it would HAVE to tell the tale on Obama's sleazy connections as the source of his contributions. Rest assured, the media will sweep most of this under the carpet so their "chosen one" can get elected. The people will be the worse for it, but then again, half the people in this country do not care to hear the truth anyway (if they did, NBC and Letterman, for instance, would disappear tomorrow). If Obama is elected, this country deserves every rotten thing it gets from that point onward.

      All of you haters must be republicans. How can you not vote for Obama after the last eight years and now the wall street bail out. I want some security for my 401k and pension. I also want to have a job. If I don't vote for Obama, I may not have either. Wake up America. Yes we can!!!

        My 401k was doing fine during Bush's first 6 years, it's only been during the last year that it's tanked. The Democrates promised CHANGE 2 years ago and took over the House and Senate. So, how do you like the CHANGE so far? If Obama wins, look forward to more of the same "CHANGE" we had the last 2 years.
        He's gping to make Jimmy Carter look competent and Bill Clinton look honest by comparison.

      • Posted By: RockRibbedConservative @ 10/05/2008 9:41:35 PM

        Because the last time you brainless dems cried "change", we got Jimmuh Carter and look what we got: gas lines, 20% interest rates and the Ayatollah holding hostages.

    Hey, 10 out of 10 terrorists endorse Obama. Why not? He's their best friend. He is a nobody who's done nothing except say he will cut American defenses and pull out of Iraq. He also loves to hate America saying that America is bombing civilians and villages. Clinton actually did that but Republicans are not traitors like Obama and DemocRATS. Thanks to the liberal propaganda media, few relaize DemocRATS including Obama caused the financial crisis that Republicans tried to regulate. DemocRATS had to many rich friends funding their campaigns and are too clueless on economics to do anything.

    Desperate times for republicans, means deperate actions by republicans.

    McCain will probably call for full out war on Russia by Nov. in a desperate move to deflect from the economy and revitalize the 72 yr old maverick image.

    Obama is a socialist--a glib one--but a socialist nonetheless. His America is one of class warfare where he seeks to take money from those who have earned it and give it to those who have not. His America is one where children unfortunate enough to survive an abortion are left to die--most people call this infanticide. You are known by the company you keep and those who have advised Obama incude Ayers, Rezko, Wright, Raines and others who seek to either tear American down or line their own pockets. Obama is nothing but a glib and inexperienced socialist and it is shocking that there are so many Americans who have checked their brain and their skepticism to support this man. If he is elected, we deserve what we get and he will destroy the economy, invite those who hate America into positions of influence and negotiate from weakness with despots and murderers and give away the store. I have no doubt that plenty of this money is coming from foreign sources because those that hate America know a rookie when they see one and they are licking their chops at the prospect of a neophyte in the White House.

      Dear Ostrich, Obama is not a socialist. Don't make me laugh. Since when is it socialism to say that the richest people should have to pay their fair share of taxes? And how is it that getting rid of tax breaks for corporations that ship jobs overseas is socialism? Obama is not talking about redistribution of wealth, not is he talking about the bulk of the wealth belonging to the government. He is talking about how corporate lobbyists have been writing our laws for the past few decades, and that the upshot of allowing this to happen is the terrible mess we have made of the economy. If you can't see that basic reality I feel bad for you.

      Incidentally, in his book Audacity of Hope, Obama talks about the failure of socialism and communism. He talks about how democracy, and especially American democracy is the greatest system on earth. Maybe you should actually go to the trouble of reading what Obama says before you judge him based on what you see on Fox News.

    These fundraising charges are total nonsense. 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 28 of the past 40 years, but they have fallen down on the job. The Democrats have a stellar candidate this year, and I am voting for Obama.

    Now that Obama is winning the smear campaign is in FULL swing. Most of the people calling Obama racist on this blog are the ones that are, let's say, nervous about African Americans in general. They are always claiming that Obama uses the race card when they use the ethnic card. Anything to scare the American public. The scariest scenario the republicans can use, pales in comparision, to a McCain/Palin ticket trying to FIX the economy. It didn't work in 8 years under Bush and even with 8 more years with McCain/Palin it wouldn't improve. I was hoping though that Palin as a VP candidate would not stoop to public's level trying to revive the smear of Obama to terrorists but when you're desparate you're desparate. I haven't heard anything else coming out of Alaska; the home land security guy is doing a fine job sealing everything up there. Which is how I expect them to run the Washington if they ARE elected. I don't expect transparency under their administration.

    Using little inuendos such as drinking the KOOL AID isn't going to work. Calling Obama a racist when he is half white is not going to work. Calling Obama a terrorist lover because people aren't scared that he is African American isn't going to work. Trying to demonize Rev Wright when he was upset that America turned its back on its citizens isn't going to work. He saw first hand the how ugly racism can be, so turning around and calling him a racist is not going to work. Obama can go to any church he wants to and by the way the Trinity church is multicultural, so calling his old church racist is not going to work. You don't grow a congregation from 8 to 8,000 by putting people to sleep.

    When you are working in the trenches you are going to meet questionable people. Sometimes you may have to work with them when you need to help people that have been ignored by society. The question Obama probably asked Rezko and Ayers was simple, "is this is going to be a problem." If the answer was 'no' then that settles it. He hasn't judged these men because that is ***'s job, along with the bloggers on this website qualified to throw the first stone.

    Helping the rich is not going to help the middle class or the poor and since they are more middle class and poor Americans voting in the US, you would think McCain would get it.


    If he took that high paying job at a top law fim, Obama would not have the problems he has today. Of course, now the comment that Obama doesn't understand smear may have had a better chance to stick with him. It is amazing how McCain threw the attention off of his 100 million dollar lifestyle and make people believe that Obama was out of touch. That somehow because it was Cindy's money, that he was not ALSO well off.

      The article on the Newsmax web site is more detailed. This is serious. We will have a President bought and paid for by foreign interests. How can people vote for this man, his lack of credentials, his past and present associations, his involvement with Fannie Mae, his comments regarding blue collar workers in Pennsylvania and his support of infanticide. My God America - wake up before it is too late. I hope this news item spreads in the coming days.

    The Congress is responsible for the condition of our economy, too. The economy was in a good shape first six years of Bush???s presidency despite of the problems caused by the 9/11. The economy started getting worth when we elected democratic Congress/Senate.

    That???s why this election is not about the economy. This election is about preserving our freedom and democracy. However a democracy is very fragile. There are many examples in human history when a democracy gave birth to a dictatorship. Hitler came to a power through a democratic general election process.

    That???s why it is so important to elect a president who respects our civil rights and the Constitution of this land.

    Senator Obama is violating the campaign finance Law. There are some facts in senator Obama???s biography that make people think he is not a natural born American citizen, or maybe he is not a citizen at all, and cannot serve as a president of this country. Phillip J. Berg, Philadelphia attorney, filed a lawsuit against senator Obama. He wants senator Obama to provide to the public a proof of his citizenship, the original Birth certificate. Senator Obama had a month to provide the document. Senator Obama was waiting the whole month and then filed petition to dismiss the case. He again showed no respect to American people and our Constitution. You can find more information about the case at www.obamacrimes.com. If senator Obama does not respect our law today, what will be when he becomes a president if get elected?

    We cannot afford to have a democratic Congress and a Democratic president with such liberal policies. In this case we will bring into the White House a dictator who will convert our country into a socialist state. But it???s already a proven fact that socialism doesn???t work and created the worst dictatorships of the 20th century. Free market and capitalism are necessary conditions for political and civil freedom.

    Senator Obama is lying promising his social programs, He voted for the 700b bailout and he will not have money for his health plan and other programs unless he will increase our taxes so much that we will not have money not only to fill our tanks, but also to buy milk for our kids.

    Senator McCain voted for the plan, too, but he is planning to reduce unnecessary spending to pay for it. Maybe what senator McCain tells you doesn???t sound that sweet, But you can be 100% sure that what he says that???s what he will do.

    We have two choices:

    A socialist dictator with dark associations and unknown past, who is changing his promises and mind every second to get elected,

    OR

    An American hero, a strong leader with a strong character to protect us in this tough time.

    The choice is clear: Senator John McCain

      It must get exhausting spreading this many lies and spin. Here's the truth:

      The non-partisan Tax Policy Center has found that :

      With Senator Obama after tax income for the bottom 20% would be 5.6% higher than now (vs. just 0.2% higher under Senator McCain)
      Senator McCain's tax plans would increase the national debt by $758 billion
      SenatorMcCain has priomised to balance the budget by 2013 but offers no credible way to do so. Even if he eliminated every earmark as he claims, that's less that $18 billion
      Mr. Obama's tax plan would reduce the national debt by $748 billion

      The Obama campaign complies with campaign finance law with transparent rporting that is available to every American by going to www.fec.gov

      Senator Obama is a citizen of the US born in the state of Hawaii; his birth certificate has been validated by www.factcheck.org, and is visible for all to see on www.fightthesmears.com

      Senator McCain, who was born in the Panama Canal, needed to have a congressional statement to confirm that he was a valid candidate for president. There was none of this fale outrage that he migt not be a US citizen even though he was, technically, born in a foreign country

      You can choose not to support Senator Obama for what ever reason you choose, but you cannot do so by spreading easily and repeatedly debunked lies.

      • Posted By: sliranov @ 10/06/2008 12:18:20 AM

        Senator McCain was born to two US citizens and accordig to the Constitution is a natural US citizen. It does not matter where he was born. Senator Obama was born to a citizen of Kenia and US citizen under 18 years old. He must be born in US to be considered a natural born US citizen. Factcheck site was created by senator's Obama compain and has nothing to do with real fact checks. A certificate posted on the site and other sites is not a Vault (long) birth certificate. I checked my comment again and did not find any lies there. Senator Obama failed to provide to the court his Vault birth certificate. Instead he choosed to file a motion to dismiss the case. If he was born in Hawaii and has a Vault version of his birth certificate, why he just did not provide it to the court and closed the case. It would stop all the rumors. It was his choice not to do that and make more people to beleive that he does not have it.
        You can vote for senator Obama if you believe he can serve as POPUS, but do not disinform others.

        Don't make me laugh. The Tax Policy Center is about as non-partisan as ACORN. It's a joint venture of The Urban Institute (founded by Lyndon Johnson) and the Brookings Institution (which even The New York Times admits is leftist). Google it for yourself and learn the truth. I'm sure The Tax Policy center did a completely unbiased review of Obama's tax policy, just like all the other "unbiased" media.

      • Posted By: jmarkw @ 10/05/2008 6:36:08 PM

        What you seem to not understand, is that nothing happens in a vacuum. If you raise taxes on those who already are paying the vast majority of ALL taxes, who do you think ends up paying those taxes? WE DO!! Talk about "trickle down economics".

        We will pay through higher unemployment as they cut jobs. We will pay as they raise prices on everyday goods and services.

        The so-called rich in the US already pay not only the highest % in taxes, but also becasue they make more money, the most in $$.

        So if you were to cut taxes across the board 10%.... then yes the rich and the poor would get an EQUAL tax cut. Yes... because the rich PAY MORE $$, then their 10% would be a higher $$ figure than mine. BUT it is because they make more!! The tax cut would still be FAIR!!

        The Democrats would have you to believe that Bush only cut taxes for the rich. IT IS JUST NOT TRUE!!
        It was a FAIR across the board tax cut for EVERYONE who pays Taxes. AND THE RICH STILL PAY MORE THAN YOU AND I DO.

        If you take away these tax cuts.... ON THE PEOPLE WHO CREATE AND OFFER JOBS to the rest of us... THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO CUT BACK OR RAISE PRICES TO COVER THE LOSS.

        THIS IS WHY IT IS NOT AS SIMPLE AS OBAMA TRIES TO MAKE IT!!

        Plus, he talkes about the tax cut to the middle class being to 95%, but he forgets to tell you about the OTHER taxes that he is going to RAISE that WILL impact ANYONE who has a 401K.

        FAIR --- NOT CLASS WARFARE -- IS ALWAYS THE BEST WAY TO GO IN TAX POLICY.

      • Posted By: RockRibbedConservative @ 10/05/2008 6:19:53 PM

        The bottom 50% (median income 45,000) accounts for only 3% of the tax dollar, which means that 97% of these do not pay taxes. 40% of all taxpayers do not pay taxes, BTW.
        How do you give a tax cut to someone who does not pay taxes? You give them a freebie which they do not earn or deserve, such as food stamps or EIC tax credit. BTW are you aware that a family of four earning 45,000 can get food stamps? How are going to reduce spending if you keep giving money away?
        BTW he Tax policy Center is a who;;y owned subsidiary of the Brookings Institute, a very, far left group of Socialists.

    I can see now that voting for Obama is just going to be a train wreck in the future. We all saw the scandals the Clintons brought to the table and many just looked the other way to it. Clinton gets in and then thrice lied to us all. He would only try to defend himself and the country just was ca casualty along with that surplus that was touted. Now comes Obama and more luggage and he's involved with radical extremist terrorists. And now shady contributions from shady sources looks like foreign extremist money. Great stuff idiots.
    Let's look at the future with Obama shall we. Gas prices up, Food Prices up, Spending up, Taxes Up, people will still be losing their homes, jobs and savings. But the biggest is our national security. Listen China and Russia are running rampant with building and selling weapons they are asserting themselves around the globe along with others. Russia seems to be protecting Iran and its nuclear aspirations. They are close to the oil fields. Couple that with selling arms to the North African terrorists and the Middle Eastern Extremists. I do not think the European Union will do anything because they have their interests with the arabs, forsaking Isreal.
    The arabs want the US to go this same route. So when you think Obama is going to save us think again. He will be trying to cover his butt while taking some good ole Middle class money. Do yourself a favor. Do not look the other way with Obama. Like you did with Clinton. Vote McCain/Palin. McCain was exonerated in the Keating Five they found nothing on him ask Mr. Bennett. Vote McCain/Palin they will change things for the better. Oh yeah and the ladies out there who think that they are going to change Roe vs. Wade you are mistaken it works fine the way it is already it is a mute point in this election. Don't allow fear of this to come into your thinking. If anything since abortion was supported look out at the populations of different peoples. The one who are religious lets say goes to church, synagogue. They have strong family values, for instance, Hispanics, Jewish, Asians, Italians, Irish.....These are the populations that are making big demographic changes. The different
    white family groups are not willing to have kids because they work alot or just do not want to deal with raising kids and having families. Nice recipe for big changes in the way people think about politics. The new immigrants are wealthier they may still have connections to their home country. This may be good for new business coming into the country. But American ideals are being shelved because the new immigrants do not identify with the white american culture. Hey everything changes and thats ok. Let's just acknowledge what we do with our individual policies from day to day. Be honest and accept responsibility for our actions.
    Vote McCain/Palin.

    Journalist friends in London say that Muslim money is being bundled and sent from Mosques there to Mosques here and then distributed in small donations to Obama. So many Muslim countries and groups are cheering Obama's candidacy. It raises an ugly prospect for America to have a man in the White House bought and paid for my Muslims, especially since he was a beneficiary of a law school education at the expense of Muslims--even getting into Harvard without the LSAT scores and grads needed .

    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 .

    Hold them accountable NOW!
    Elect Obama Biden 2008

      Do you know the difference between Debt and Deficit?
      BTW it is Phil Gramm an dyou dems are a bunch of weiners or is it whiners?
      This mortgage mess was started by Carter with the CRA and doubled with Clinton in the 90's.
      Socialists will never understand the economy as they believe all good things come from Gub'mint.

    1. He is getting unbelievable amounts of campaign contributions from followers of Islam. Fundamentalists in that religion hate America.
    2. Obama has studied in Madrassa where kids as young as 4 years are brainwashed and taught to hate America.
    3. His radical connections with people who hate America. Doesn???t matter how old he was when Ayers bombed federal buildings, or if he was in the church the day Rev. Wright said ???*** damn America??? or Rezko did him a favor without expecting anything in return. His judgment is questionable. Do you just sit down or be associates with anyone without knowing the person???s background? It???s hard to believe.
    4. His desire to cut defense spending will make America militarily weak.
    5. He plans to saddle already fragile economy with more social programs, on the backs of Americans. How will we bear that, it is already so hard to make ends meet.

    Please as an American, please set aside your liberal bias, but please for our country???s sake ??? think and if you could ??? please speak out ??? are you seeing a Mohammad Atta hiding in plain sight? What if he turns against us? What if he is a mole, a sleeper cell? If elected, he will control the most powerful office in the whole world; he will have access to the most privileged, highly secretive information on America???s national security.

    God Bless the USA.

      As hard as it is for some to believe, sleeper cell is a possability.

        i completely agree with you guys. when i read the post i immediately thought about one of the 24 seasons. i dont trust obama further than i can toss him...and seeing as though i've never met the guy, wasn't able to even try to toss him...so in other words i have no trust at all for this man. to think someones past is JUST their past is too naive for words. your past is what makes you you . everything you encounter in your life changes you in small and large ways whether you like it or not! so its kinda hard for me to believe that obama is just the average liberal Marxist candidate.

        the idea of him being a mole or sleeper cell IS a possibility.

    Obama is following of the proud tradition of Democrat corruption just like the Clintons taking money from the Chinesse Comunists. The enemies of America want Obama to win.He is the most dangerous candidate in history and may not even be eligible for this office. His campaign refuses to release his birth certificate for examination and the mainstream media like Newsweak, Time ABC, NBC, CBS etc. refuse to demand to see it. They are helping this fraud to con his way in to the White House. God help us if he wins.

    They have no idea who the people are that sent the donations, but they have credit card numbers to return them? What smells the most is the lack of indepth investigative reporting of these questionable donations. Instead we seem to get reluctant minimal reports. Nixon should have been so lucky.
