You people scare the hell out of me! This is an election of the President of the United States --- not a high school football rally! Study the issues, ask the candidates to tell us what they specifically plan for our country, make up your mind and then VOTE --- but please stop the name-calling, the hyperbole, the exageration and accusations. Whether it is McCain, Obama, Palin or Biden speaking --- quote them correctly and in context, or not at all. We are Americans. How embarrassing!
john mccain should be pulled from the ticket after knowingly condoning such threats as he stands and listens what a fake smile if i have ever saw one
Apparently a lot of people aren't taking the time to check facts. McCain and Palin haven't said anything that wasn't true. You can't attack someone by telling the truth. I also would like to know why no one has mentioned how former CEO of Fannie Mae, Frank Raines, who was responsible for "cooking the books" and the main cause of the failure of this financial system, is now one of Obama's economic advisors. Or, I would like someone to explain to me if Obama is so good and honest how he was the 3rd highest paid goverment offical of Fannie Mae, and he has been if office for the shortest amount of time!
I write to you today regarding a matter of grave concern and fear - and that is
the tenor and tone of the rallies and public speaking venues of McCain/Palin in
recent weeks.
In event after event, it appears as if they are actually encouraging hatred and
racism, encouraging a kind of "mob mentality" in the crowds, and it is
frightening. In video after video that I see, the crowds are becoming angry and
ugly, and Mccain/Palin seem to be encouraging this - they certainnly have not done
anything to discourage it - even after one person in a crowd shouts out "kill
him" referring to Barak Obama.
Palin of course, fails to mention her and her husband's ties to the Alaskan
Successionist movement.
The kind of projection going on here is worthy of any clinically diagnosed personality
disorder description.
To myself and my family and friends, this behavior is vile, dangerous, and treasonous.
Their rallies have a "Nuremburg" feel to them - I am very very afraid
of where this will lead, if allowed to continue unchecked.
This is America - but it is rapidly feeling like Germany in the late 1930's.
I urge
you in the strongest way possible - to please raise awareness about this hate mongering,
because inciting crowds to shout out racial slurs and death threats is vile, dangerous,
and treasonous, and not at all the kind of behavior becoming of candidates for the
highest offices in the country.
McCain-Palin Out of Control
Not only McCain-Palin campaign has become desperate saying anything, but also dangerously inciting anger, hate and divisions. I think the McCain-Palin rallies are getting out of control. ???The implication here is clear. It's foreign sounding. It's Muslim sounding. It's un-American sounding. It's dangerous-sounding. What it is, is race-baiting. And that is what is dangerous. Inciting crowds, encouraging their angry outbursts, McCain supporters shouting "treason" and "terrorist" about Obama at these rallies -- that's dangerous. Earlier in the campaign, McCain denounced this stuff. He strongly denounced it. And today it requires a stronger response, a much stronger denunciation than a campaign-generated paper statement.???
Enough, Enough,Enough Where are the intelligent people who check facts.
Mr. Obama has done more for the troop than McCain.
McCain voted against the same bill he is accusing Obama of voting against.
McCain voted against Body Armour for our troops.
IAVA is a group of veterans who want you to check your facts.
veterans report card website will show you that Cindy McCain should have had chills down her body over her husband.
Just because McCain was a POW (who spilled his guts against the USA.)
does not mean he has supported our troops as people seem to just assume.
Inciting crowds and HATE is exactly the kind of talk that lead to millions
of my people (Jewish) being lead to gas chambers.
If McCain cannot win by running a clean campaign that does not include HATE
and incite people to call for the assassination of Mr.Obama.
The media must impliment a McCain blackout. If someone would have stopped this type of HATE speech, making people believe that we Jewish people were something to be feared,
maybe my family would be larger.
Decent Americans who really love this country and all that it has stood for, must
be decent enough to say ENOUGH, McCain, ENOUGH HATE, stick to the real campaign issues.
The dems would lose in a fair election. Too much voter fraud on their side. In Wiscnsin the 2000 election was decided by 5000 votes. Nearly 1300 votes cast in a heavily deomcratic region of the city of Milwaukee were found to be phony. This is just the tip of the iceberg. They will cheat to WIN that is proven.
They harassed her until she registered to vote six times!:

Just look into how NObama got elected, he had the other guys name taken off the ballet, He is a politician, only in for himself.
Davidhnaz. I am from Illinois and the politics here are so dirty. Graft and corruption, patronage hiring, nepotism, Cook County has the highest sales tax in the nation to name a few. Tax, tax, tax..... Chicago mayor are so obsessed with 2016 olympic that he is not even aware how many people are killed everyday. That's Illinois politics and they are Democrats.
Why would anyone vote for NObama, I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy, I mean, that's a storybook, man.
I think Barack NObama will find a job for domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, his good friend they've worked together for years. Why not in the white house, two American haters together again.

Do you also wonder which crooked lobbyists McCain will select to help him run the White House? Probably at least a few of the many that are currently helping him run his failed campaign.
BluebloodedLV. If McCain has a failed campaign, I don't have to wonder who he will select. USE YOUR COMMON SENSE.
McCain doesnt have a failed campaign, theres just more racist and socialist pigs that support NObama.
A vote for NObama is a vote for socialism
Barack Obama and the politics of envy. Over and over Barack during the Town Hall Meeting debate spouted his politics of envy. He pointed out that Iraq has a 78 billion dollar surplus at the same time that the United States is suffering financial problems. His conclusion or inference that Barack left hanging was that we should steal their money and take the 78 billion dollars or perhaps we should have never wage the war to begin because they are a bunch of ungrateful people who would hoard this money.
Would Barack Obama be more pleased if Iraq emulated their main supporter the United States and ran up huge deficits and became nearly bankrupt.
Would he think that is more representative of a struggling democracy. The fact that Iraq is financially solvent with our help is a testament of the hard work and sacrifice of our troops. Please do not comment and try to draw a negative inference from this success. Please Barack keep your politics of envy confined to local Illinois politics where it works.
Barack Obama???s tax plans similarly focus on the politics of envy. He is so focused and determined that the oil companies do not make one penny too much in profit that Barack Obama dces not care if all of the Southeast periodically experiences gas shortages with closed gas stations and empty gas pumps. The oil companies did not make any profits when there was no gas to sell so Barack Obama must have been jumping with joy. Refinery capacity in the United States has been stretched to its limits for decades. The oil companies would have to be crazy to invest another penny in new refineries or production capacity or even do basic repairs in the United States in light of Barck Obama???s policies to tax what he deems are excess profits and his proposed mandates on alternative energy. Barack Obama???s proposals to raise taxes only on the top five percent of Americans are ridiculous and only pander to the politics of envy. Our economy has been propped up for years by people from around the world investing in the United States. Foreign investors in United States companies also are subject to United States taxes. All of these investors are in the top five percent making more than two hundred and fifty thousand a year and they will be subject to higher taxes. Do you think that foreign investors will continue to make direct investments in the United States when they can go anywhere in the world? Barack Obama will do for the United States what North Korean President Kim has done for North Korea and that is drive all foreign investors out of the country. That is a great idea to help our economy and drive all foreign investors out. Americans can also chose where they invest and they do not have to invest in the United States if taxes become exorbitant.
Thank You, we need more of your type of example, because Obama supporters just dont get it. Personally I think Obama is some sort of Manchurian Candidate, comming out of a sleeper cell. Too many strange rumors comming out of Kenya.

Paranoia will destroy yah!! Get a life. You sound ridiculous!! Sleeper cell? He has been center stage for over a year now - he's totally transparent. Admit that you're afraid to vote for someone different than an old white man. At least be honest!
McCain's negative campaigning isn't just deplorable, it's a direct about-face from his pledge to the American people. Read more at http://genxmom.blogspot.com.
Smears campaigning are coming from both sides not only from Sen McCain side. And both are deplorable.
If we really want to save America we need to start with this election, I???m not a McCain fan he is just another politician, been in office way to long. But a vote for NObama is a vote for the death of America, yes the country will still be here but it will not be America. It will just be another socialist failure. McCain will only get 4 yrs and then maybe we can find a real statesman not a politician.
Just wondering if Sen. Obama will be elected President of the United States of America, who among his friends in Illinois will he select to help him run the White House.
Centerpull,
Do you have a job? Why are you responding to EVERYBODY? Is that you Sarah? John? Karl? The fact that they only aired a portion of a sentence spoken by Obama is what told people the ad was bulls**t, not Newsweek. Anybody with an ounce of intelligence could see this is a really desperate attempt to dirty Obama's name.
As a BLACK woman, I was actually leaning towards McCain--until he chose the village idiot as a running mate. I was really hoping he would choose Romney, but anybody would have been better than that chick.As a woman, I was insulted that the Republican party would assume that throwing ANY woman in there would get my vote--and more women should feel the same.
I do have some encouraging words for you though. America would rather elect a blind monkey with its thumb up its ass than to elect a black man. If Obama were white, with the exact same education and history, there would not even be a discussion. He would win in a landslide.
Thank You for proving most Black folks are bigots and raceists. Your a real asset to Obama, go help him sign up more trash off the streets and help Acorn get him elected. Obama is surley a planted flower of deciet and will do all he can to bring America to it's knees, 9-11 released this vermon.

I would vote for Alan Keys or J.C. Watts in a heartbeat but not Obama. Not because of who he is but what he stands for - he is ultra liberal and will tax us to death. A third of my taxes already goes to the federal govt.. He says he is going to give the middle class a tax break. That is lie because he plans to let the Bush tax cuts expire on schedule and give the middle class a tax rebate. The joke is that the rbate is less than half of what the tax increase will be when the Bush Tax Cuts expire. If you make 50K a year your taxes will go up 200.00 bucks month. That is not chump change at that icome level. Don't be;ieve the half-truths you hear from both sides. Vote for someone with strong moral values. That is McCain not Obama.
Excuse me, but where doe this come from?? The past 8 years have seen me & my husband, our family, (including hi smother who will be 103, God willing-in Feb.2009) and many of our friends have their leftime earnings, hard work, savings, and plans for a secure future either eroded or destroyed, thanks to President Bush & his party of "no tax increases, etc.) Unless you are part of the wealthy minority in this country,you could not be any wrse off thsn you are now, unless you ARE wealthy and missed the "loopholes" afforded you. This "fear mongering" over taxes that Obama & the Democrats are supposedly going to assail us with is just that:: how did McCain, riding in as the WHITE KNIGHT for the current bailout expect all this to be paid for?--of course: THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER(not the WEALTHY American tapayer) will be the bottom line..think about it!!
Your buying into the media hype and bias. The press is smearing Palin because they know a woman could bring votes to the ticket. Find out about the real Sarah Palin not the media description. She has done a great job in Alaska!!! If they went after Obama with the same vigor Hillary Clinton would be the nominee for the dems.
