"Dishonorable"

McCain/Palin are exposing themselves as the ATTACK MINDED HATE MONGERS they really are.

This ad campaign is a futile effort to polarize voters against Obama. The only problem is that nobody is buying their BS.

ATTACK ADS, PITBULL HOCKEY MOMS, and DEREGULATORY MAVERICKS... WRONG for AMERICA

Obama/Biden '08!

Have you noticed that California and Mass. have asked the government to bail them out. Coincidentally, these two states have universal healthcare. This should be a red flag for Americans that think that Universal Healthcare is free. Somebody has to pay for it. ...tax payers!. Obama states in his written explanation that not everyone will be mandated to BUY it. He has led us to believe all along that it would be FREE. Not so. He plans to finance it by REPEALING the Bush tax cuts. ....which in other words means....TAX INCREASE!

The link below contains a purported list of the top 25 in Congress who got contributions from the folks at Fannie and Freddie. Obama is listed third, after Dodd and Kerry, even though Obama is just a junior Senator. Obama is followed next by Clinton. Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi are on the list as well.

Then there is the Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher J. Dodd who allegedly got special mortgage deals from Countrywide, who gave preferential rates to 'friends' of company's chairman.

For an interesting article purporting to detail the House Financial Services Committee Chairs long history with Fannie Mae, See http://www.businessandmedia.org/printer/2008/20080924145932.aspx

"House Financial Services Committee Chair promoted GSEs while former 'spouse' was Fannie Mae executive."

The link below describes how some in Congress tried to use the original version of the bailout bill to divert money eventually recovered to groups like ACORN, a group Obama has a long association with. See:

And then there is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who allegedly has directed nearly $100,000 from her political action committee to her husband's real estate and investment firm.

I am quite certain that Admirals McCain ( I and II ), are significantly not proud of the mess that III has made of his career.
The McCain family honor, like their legacy, has obviously skipped a generation.

McCain lost two Navy aircraft while piloting them, both allegedly due to engine failure. A third was destroyed on the deck of the carrier USS Forrestal when a missile fired accidentally from another plane hit either the plane next to McCain's or, less likely, his own aircraft, triggering a disastrous fire that killed 134 sailors and nearly killed McCain. A fourth plane was lost when he was shot down over North Vietnam on a bombing mission over Hanoi. There's no evidence that any of the four destroyed planes were lost to pilot error.

A fifth alleged "crash" turns out to be a misinterpretation of a flight accident that did not result in the loss of the aircraft. McCain admitted to causing that incident through "daredevil clowning" but returned safely.

If McCain were driving this recklessly, I would say he would be uninsurable with so many mishaps. When you are the admiral son, mishaps like that are forgiveable, they gave him a medal if he returned the plane (just my impression). Here is the key, if he received a medal it is public news, if he received a reprimand it was SEALED. This leaves McCain discretion to tell HIS version. His medical records from the Navy are still SEALED but HE tells us he had a clean bill of health. Most of his comrades that suffered as POW's are either dead or on the way but he is in great mental and physical health according to HIS physician. .

McCain has cover up so much of the negative past, how are we are supposed to BELIEVE he is 100% honest. He throws us scraps, ie he was a maverick, he graduated 795 out of a class of 800 at the academy, he broke most of the military's rules and did not get kicked out of the Navy, and that is his version of straight talk.

Fate has a way upping the ante when life's lessons are ignored. How can a pilot lose so many planes, and not think maybe its MY piloting skills. How stubborn can you be? This is the guy wants to fix the economy?

Obama doesn't have to subject himself to anything McCain or Palin cannot do.

The GOP is grasping at straws. They have nothing substantive against Obama, but boy are they good at making up lies. This is the 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 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.
