    I told my family to be prepared for the worst several months ago because the Socialist Elite working for obama were going to pull all the stops out to scare the american public into voting for the chicago thug. Guess what?!? We are experiencing the worst financial crisis in decades....and the DEMOCRATS are in charge of the CONGRESS AND EVERY FINANCIAL COMMITTEE ON THE HILL!! Who would ever think that Pelosi and Frank would fight fair?? McCain is the only candidate qualified for the job. Do you really believe the "nightly news"???

      How naive you are and out of touch to believe this is a political ploy. It's no wonder you are voting for McCain.

    • Posted By: liberal4sure @ 10/07/2008 2:09:46 PM

      Do you mean like GWB did with Iraq and Charlie Black who works on mccain's campaign said a month ago this country needed a terrorist disaster so people could vote for mccain?

        Isn't it Mr. McCain "pulling out all the stops" now?

      Thank you. The democrat sycophants don't want to know about Obama though.

        The brainless rethuglican twits would rather die then know the truth about theirs. EVERY major news org, paper and outlet (except foxnews of course) has called out mccain and palin on their lies and yet you people continue to believe. Incredible!

  • Posted By: SingleWORKINGMomInVA @ 10/07/2008 2:15:27 PM

    If the "media" spent half as much time "factchecking" obama he wouldn't even be in the race. He is a socialist who thinks he knows best. he is anti american and anti intelligent!! I would rather have an"old" patriot in the white house than a young socialist thug.

    • Posted By: debbied @ 10/07/2008 2:26:45 PM

      First of all, what the h*ll does anti-intelligent mean? Are you kidding me? Barack Obama graduated at the top of his class at Harvard. You don't get to be President of the Law Review if you're not highly intelligent. As for your candidate, he graduated fifth from the bottom of a class he only got into because his father was an Admiral.
      Barack Obama cannot be held accountable for the actions of a Viet Nam war protester when he was 7 or 8 years old. If you're going to accuse him of consorting with domestic terrorists for events that happened 40 years ago, you might as well accuse the whole city of Chicago. They made Ayers the Man of the Year a few years ago. When you can't win by telling the truth or sticking to the issues that most Americans care about, I guess you through whatever mud you can get your hands on whether it's true or not.

    • Posted By: AskPlus @ 10/07/2008 2:21:11 PM

      Fact-checks for Obama and McCain are 61-57 - McCain. Pretty equal.
      You just don't seem to be that - in touch. Maybe a little too emotional and scared.

      Anti-intelligent? Hmmmm.

    Hey, Newsweek if you want to attack misleaading statement, what about the ridiculous claim that Obama was only 8 when Ayers' orgainization was bombing and killing innocent people? The fact is that when he was older and supposedly wiser is when he associated with Ayers. Once again the democrats rely on the ignorance of their constituents with the "8 year old" gambit.

      Obama WAS just 8 when Ayers' organization was bombing buildings.

  • Posted By: Bona Phide @ 10/07/2008 1:36:22 PM

    Let's talk about about how McCain was pallin around with Natzi collaborators in the 80's, or how he flew around the country in Keating's jets. Or how he talked with congressional regulators on Keating's behalf. If you want to shove someone's face in their past, then make sure yours is squeeky clean first.

    Oh yeah, and let's not forget he left his handicapped first wife for his beer heiress sugar mama...

    • Posted By: Democrat-Hillary @ 10/07/2008 2:05:25 PM

      Yes, the Reagans who were friends of both, meaning McCain and first wife, did not speak again to McCain after what he did to her. They even helped her. Well something ugly should have happened, I guess we will never know nor it is our business. But, this should speak volumes about McCain CHARACTER as well..............

    I don't know about other Americans, but I find McCain-Palin's comments, and their delivery, just as reckless as that "suspending my campaign" bit he tried to pull off almost two weeks ago. He knows that hurt the chances for getting the job done by Congress, but went ahead and grandstanded instead.
    THIS GUY IS DANGEROUS. I'M ALREADY SICK AND TIRED OF THIS TRIPE. IMAGINE IF THIS WAS THE BEST HE COULD DO IN "DISCUSSIONS" AND "NEGOTIATIONS" WITH FRIENDS, ALLIES, OR ENEMIES.

    I guess I personally place Bill Ayers and his days of violence into the same category as the Columbine shooters. He is unstable and took his extreme hate for government to the point of using explosives. He is NOT a respectable citizen. He should be in prison where society can be protected from him and his dangerous personality.
    He fits the personality patterns that teachers and empoyers are warned to watch for. He is a dangerous walking bomb and has the potential to harm many people. He needs to be removed from society and locked up.
    You hear stories about criminals who hide in society for years and the neighbors are all shocked to find out that the person living next to them is a fugitive. Well, criminals can camoflage themselves as Ayers and his wife have done. Respectible???? No.

    • Posted By: Texanna33 @ 10/07/2008 1:39:41 PM

      The times were extreme when Ayers was an activist. Just like they were when George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were doing some pretty extreme things against English rule. Had they lost they would have been branded radicals and rotted away in jail and we would still be a part of England. It was the radicals in the 60's that finally got our government to do something about Viet Nam. Oh yeah...alot of similarities between Viet nam and Iraq...no business going in in the first place and not knowing when to get out!

  • Posted By: izme @ 10/07/2008 11:59:33 AM

    Palin stated this morning that they will have a spending freeze in Washington when they get in office. During that time, they will go over EVERY item on the budget to sort out all the pork. It is time that there is COMPLETE accountability on the part of government. The Democrat controlled Congress voted down oversight bills on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac twice. McCain introduced a bill to increase oversight on the two agencies...the bill was killed in the Democrat controlled committee.
    Chris Dodd has guilty painted all over his face....he has violated the trust that Americans honored him with. He used his position on the financial committee to get himself a special mortgage rate from Countrywide. He was lax in warning citizens of the pending collapse of the credit market. He needs to be investigated.

    • Posted By: Mike Brody @ 10/07/2008 1:39:09 PM

      You're so right! And Dodd and Frank have the nerve to point the finger at Republicans fos this mess. It is depressing that these corrupt politicians are in power. How disgusting and shameful these guys along with Pelosi, Reid, Schumer and others are. Where are the honest congress people? Only McCain, Lieberman and a few others.

    • Posted By: bluebloodedLV @ 10/07/2008 12:15:53 PM

      Watch McCains record of deregulation, then let's just blame it all on Clinton and congress why don't we. The repugs have had control of congress for 10 of the last 12 years - they had control of the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government. Just the facts.

      Really the democrats voted the bill down. McCain fooled you again but he is good at that. McCain wants to takes credit for something that is not his, it was Sen. Hagel. bill McCain jumped on board when the ride was over. I hate to break it to you. Look it up for yourself at the library of congress, if you don't believe me.

  • Posted By: lmcgee @ 10/07/2008 1:16:54 PM

    McCain's actions have proven to me it is time to leave the Republican party. I have been voting and a republican for 28 years from the first time I could vote. I do not need to be there anymore when he and Palin are the best they can offer. There are so many serious issue before us now. Winking and smearing the other guy do not work to fix them, har work and straight talk will.

    People, you cannot get your information solely from FoxNews (Ultra conservative source) or Hannity. They are extremely biased. Go to independent sources. If you did you would be appalled at how mccain/palin and the rnc are playing you. You see Rove put out a handbook detailing that you can appeal to the uneducated, ignorant base by preying on their fears and prejudices. Don't you think if any of this crap about Obama were really really true, not only would we have known it by now but Hillary would have run with it. It has all been debunked. And speaking of Rev. Wright, so basically what you people are saying is that all those catholics who sat in pew listening to their pedophile priests are guilty by association too?????

  • Posted By: Nowforthetruth @ 10/06/2008 11:10:36 PM

    Obama is getting a bump out of this because people are not being reminded of the whole history where the economy is concerned, and who did what when. Call it bias by omission. The media simply says that the economy is Obamas strong issue, but never discusses the facts in detail. Further, who had a majority when is rarely relevant. If the simplistic Party In Power model were true, then the Democrats would not have needed the House Republicans when they tried to pass the bailout bill, as Democrats have the majority in both houses and there is no threat of a veto. In theory, they do not need the Republicans to vote at all. In fact, something like twelve (12) Democrats from Barney Franks own banking committee voted against the bill. Obviously, it is not so simple and the media does the voter a disservice by doing little more than reinforcing the error. A similar argument would be to say that the economy appeared to be doing fine until the Democrats took over control of Congress and the power of the purse, then it tanked. As an aside, the media also misleads regarding the Clinton economy when they fail to mention that it also ended in a recession, requiring the first round of Bush stimulus checks immediately after he took office..


    Do Obama and the Democrats deserve a lift in the polls as a result of the financial and mortgage problems? The answer from history is a clear NO. Here's the lead of a New York Times story on September 30, 1999:

    "Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending" [link below]. That's 1999 folks. Clinton Administration, I believe.

    Here's the lead of a New York Times story on Sept. 11, 2003:

    "The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago. "[see link below] The Democrats killed the reforms.

    McCain said in co-sponsoring the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190:

    "If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system and the economy as a whole. The Democrats killed the Bill.

    What was Barney Frank and fellow Democrats saying at the time of these attempted reforms? According to reports, Representative Barney Frank(D-MA) claimed of the thrifts :

    "These two entities -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- are not facing any kind of financial crisis, the more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."

    Representative Mel Watt (D-NC) added of the reforms "I don't see much other than a shell game going on here, moving something from one agency to another and in the process weakening the bargaining power of poorer families and their ability to get affordable housing." [ See Community Reinvestment Act, link bel

    Obama wold not have even been approved to be a police officer or federal officer with these known associates. Why would anyone even consider voting for him? Obama endorsed Bill Ayers' 1997 book.
    Enough with the "i was eight years old at the time of the bombings" nonsense. After 9/11 Bill Ayers again made comments suggesting that he agreed with the attacks in us. The associations (AYers, Rezco, Wright
    and ACORN) are just too much to swallow.

    • Posted By: liberal4sure @ 10/07/2008 1:22:21 PM

      Palin, member of a church for 20 years that is extreme in its anti jew sympathies. They even have groups to try and support converting jews to christians because they believe that jews are going to hel-. And what about the witch doctor who performed witchcraft for Palin, (there is an actual video and she is in it) so she could win the gubernatorial race? However, my question is - all the catholics who sat in their pews listening to their pedophile priests for years and years, does that make them guilty too?

    • Posted By: kirkinsocal @ 10/07/2008 1:18:17 PM

      Catherineusa - come on research what you post. First of all - are you so sure about everyone you have ever met that you can say they share your values and link yourself to them? Also, the Ayer's comments were made and published before 9/11. It happened to be picked up by the NY times on 9/11 ??? not after (terrible yes - but bad timing and not condoning 9/11). Also, if we want to point out everyone in Obama's life, Shall we look at McCain/Palin also you know just to be fair and DEMOCRATIC ( Joe Vogel, The Witch hunter, Jesse Helms). So those in Glass houses...

      How can you be so blind to the corrupt associations of your candidate? The lies you spew here are mostly untrue and exaggerations you heard on hate radio or faux news. Do a little research on the two you're voting for. Take a long look at who is running McCains campaign. Then take a long look at his ridiculous choice of a running mate. He does not love his country picking someone like Palin. She actually believes that dinosaurs and humans coexisted. We don't need more stupid people running this country!! Have you learned nothing in the last 8 years?

    McCain and Palin attacks on Obama are having a terrible affect on America. They are bringing the worse out of themselves and others by stirring up hate and racism. When you have a sheriff that intentionally uses Obama???s middle name to incite racism they are on the wrong track. When you have people due to your campaigning that are screaming terrorist and kill him in the background you have to take credit for creating an environment that brings out the racist in our country and gets them riled up. If you want to talk about terrorism this is the best way to get it started. McCain and Palin are not only tearing down Obama they are also tearing down our country in the process.

    It is very sad that McCain has sunk to this level and surprising, considering how W trashed him in the primaries not that long ago. He has clearly taken the, if you can't beat them join them route. If Obama doesn't allow himself to be drawn in he will win, because this time the general population is paying attention and the issues are the key (see the Clinton effort against Bush the elder) not the swiftboat, Karl Rove, nastiness.

    The real shame is McCain stands to lose not only the election, but his legacy as an honest and decent politician. This is especially true given his pledge to not allow this type of garbage into his run.
