    Obama is a Centrist - big time. It's really sad but people hold overly-addictive core beliefs that are stronger than truth or common sense. When presented with undeniable evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence won't be processed, accepted or for the most part - acknowledged. That kind of cognitive dissonance acts as emotional firewall and new information is re-directed. To them, it is so important to protect their cores they rationalize and deny anything that doesn't fit within their core. We all do it to a certain extent, but what makes them "crazy" is not being "able" to take a minute, write it down and solve. So, we have posters like - well you know.

    Can you write a more slanted article? Complement oboma's bin lying and slam McCain. The truth is, if obama is elected, The whole world will be in a recession for years. Oboma lies and says that he will raise taxes on 5% of Americans, but in reality it is more than half of Americans and 40% of the remaining Americans don't pay taxes. What happens when you raise taxes on business? They raise their prices or lay people off. Who pays for the increased prices? Everyone. And, the poor people pay more than rich, because poor people spend a higher percentage of their income. THINK ABOUT IT. Corporate tax is REGRESIVE!!!

    The mutilation story come from a backer of McCain as does the deplorable sexual and demeaning insulting tee shirts directed toward Sara Palin comes from Obama backers. So whether the mutilation story is true or not it with have little impact on the way someone votes as does the tee shirts have little impact. Fact is however both sides have more that their fair share of degenerates.

    Fox News VP: If McCain Worker 'Mutilation' Story Is a Hoax His Campaign Is 'Over'

    It had drawn wide local and national -- even political attention, with the McCain and Obama campaigns weighing in -- but now the Ashley Todd story has fallen apart. Police in Pittsburgh have now declared the tale a hoax and the woman, who has confessed, now faces charges for her deed.

    Earlier today, John Moody, executive vice president at Fox News, commented on his blog there that "this incident could become a watershed event in the 11 days before the election. If Ms. Todd's allegations are proven accurate, some voters may revisit their support for Senator Obama, not because they are racists (with due respect to Rep. John Murtha), but because they suddenly feel they do not know enough about the Democratic nominee.

    "If the incident turns out to be a hoax, Senator McCain's quest for the presidency is over, forever linked to race-baiting."

      I don't know if I agree that McCain is going to be 'forever linked to race-baiting', but FOX noise sure is... They have been shameless in this campaign, between Hannity and Bill-O they are a disgrace to country and journalism (I cringe as I use that word in the same sentence...) Wile there is no doubt that the left has their fair share of partisan outlets (yes MSNBC I'm looking at you) at least the Olbermans and Maddows of the world do not reduce themselves to racist and hateful reports.

    Latest news from the left ignored by the right: McCain sat down with terrorist - without conditions.

    Looks like McCain "pals around with terrorists". Cruelty, wrapped in dishonor, tied with lies.

    So is it a fact or not ,you can buy anything in this world with cold hard cash, even the white house. Stand up America and prove that Obama is wrong. We can't be bought..

    • Posted By: Bethany724 @ 10/24/2008 3:23:37 PM

      Idaho Fan--How exactly is Obama buying the votes ergo the white house?? It is the citizens of America that have donated the millions of dollars that is in his campaign, and he is spending it campaigning!! How exactly is that buying the White House??

      I dont understand your vehement denial of Obama's birthrite as a citizen of the United States, but, I think that fear is probably right up there.

      Wake up--Most Americans have seen the light, and are no longer gullible enough to be scared to vote for the real choice. 2004 taught us alot!!!

      And if you obviously feel that Palin would make a great president-because that is all she does as VP- then wait 4 years. She has been running for president 2012 since she walked of the stage at the convention.

      Obama may have bought air time again to try to address the ridiculous and vicious outrageous lies that have swirled around these last few weeks. That is what I think he has done, he has taken any air out of any "October surprise" balloon that McCain may have tried to put out there. There are many many issues that Obama may be addressing on Thursday night, and as the voting public, to put this off and dismiss him as "fanatic" just shows the lack of intelligence you will be using to vote with. Everyone needs to listen to everything each of the candidates say including their VP's. That is the only way you can make an informed decision. But alas--there is the crux of the problem--informed decision is not what I think the Republicans are going for this election.

      Dear Idaho Fan;

      Your words have destroyed your credibility. Everyone knows Senator Obama (unlike McCain) was born with relatively nothing. Anything good Obama have today, he got it through excellence in school studies, hard work, and effective public service.

      Up until last year, Obama was considered the second poorest Senator in Congress. (Biden is first poorest Senator). But with the sales of Obama's second book, he has now joined the millionaires club. However Obama is still far, far behind the McCains in monetary assets, where Cindy McCain is reported to have $100-million stake in her father's beer empire, along with the McCain's 13 cars and 9 homes.

      In short, the reason Obama is outspending McCain is because far more Americans are sending their hard earn cash to Obama than to McCain. Obama don't have the money to win an election. IT'S THE PEOPLE'S MONEY. IT'S THE PEOPLE THAT ARE POURING THEIR HARD EARN CASH INTO OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN. THEY ARE FLOODING THEIR PAYCHECKS INTO OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN BECAUSE THEY ARE SICK AND TIRED OF LOBBYIST BUYING THE WHITE HOUSE. THE MIDDLE-CLASS IS FRUSTRATED WITH BUSINESS AS USUAL. AMERICANS WANT THEIR OWN REPRESENTATIVE IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND OBAMA IS THE MIDDLE-CLASS CHOICE. McCAIN IS THE LOBBYIST CHOICE, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME LOBBYIST ARE GETTING OUTSPENT BY 200-MILLION MIDDLE-CLASS AMERICANS WITH THEIR $100 CHECKS.

      SO GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. OBAMA IS NOT BUYING THE WHITE HOUSE. IT'S THE AMERICAN MIDDLE-CLASS THAT PUTTING A DOWN PAYMENT ON THEIR REPRESENTATIVE SENATOR OBAMA TO TAKE THE WHITE HOUSE; AND NOT THE LOBBYIST REPRESENTATIVE McCAIN TO BE A THIRD BUSH TERM.

      GOD Bless the United States of America!
      GOD Bless the Obama-Biden Leadership Team!

    John uses lies, Palin is a famous lier, they have used boggus information throughout the campaign. Why so hard on one of their people, resorting to the same tactics used by the jerk she supports? No one is surprised by yet one more lie. All of McCains lies may very well get him the presidency. America seems to enjoy being lied to, Republicanss have been doing that, successfully for years. Trickle down economics, what a joke.

  • Posted By: AskPlus @ 10/24/2008 2:58:12 PM

    It started with the GOP saying we'll say: Grandma was thrown under a bus. Next day the blog supporters rant and rave about it. Same thing with Pastors. Then Flagpins, then Michelle Obama, then Ayers, Rezko, birth certificates - and none of it pans out. Nothing. Nada. So, the plan of attack was to keep saying it so some would think it panned out anyway. The call was: The media doesn't cover Obama's shortcomings, they are biased. Even though the media used 10 different angles for every accusation. The next day the GOP say those who follow Obama are "brain-washed". Next day same thing. "You're all brainwashed." Then they walk the discrimination ploy with: "He's not one of us." "He does not think like we do." "He pals around with terrorist. He's scary." " We'll call the liberals racists (even though Liberal talk tolerance) for calling us racists." Ta-DAAA. They put him on food stamps. All of it failed so they sunk to McCarthyism and rolled out the "socialist card" and all the bloggers now say he's a socialist - even though socialist really don't support Obama - and can't. Today Ms. Todd used the old 1980's 1990's stand-by, and was caught lying.

    How do you think the latest is going to affect the McCain ticket? I'd call the GOP desperate, but they'd turn it around and call the Dems that.

    IGNORE THE PREVIOUS POST I ACCIDENTLY HIT THE POST BUTTON BEFORE THE COMMENT WAS COMPLETE.

    Has anyone kept up with this? A McCain supporters posted a comment regarding this incident asking why Obama supporters are so violent. I replied to this poster asking why the B that was supposedly carved into her face by the "Scary Angry Black man" Of Course ! was backwards. The B looks the way it would if a right handed person did it to themselves.

    Anyway the police have found several inconsistencies in her story and she had now remembered new details such as a sexual assault. She did not mention this sexual assult initially, this is a new memory. The police. Also she first stated that she walked to the bank and the attacker got mad when he saw the McCain button on her jacket, then she stated that the attacker got mad when he saw the McCain bumber sticker on her car??????????????????????????

    The police are giving this woman a lie detector. I am listing the links to several articles regarding this incident. Please note the major differences in Ms. Todd's stories. In one version Ms. Todd states that the man sat on her chest and carved a backwards B into her cheek. In another version she told the police that she passed out and when she woke up she felt a stinging on her cheek but did not know what happened to her face.

      1. Being gullible fools

        Hi Neos,

        I just read the article, something did not seem right to me from the first. Mainly the way that the B was written, if the scary black man was sitting on her chest and more than likely he was right handed as most of us are the letter would not have been written that way. It looked as if a right handed person had done it to themself.

        Just stupid and of course she is a McCain supporters one of the people of whom he is proud!

    McCain Adviser Endorses Obama


    Charles Fried, a professor at Harvard Law School, has long been one of the most important conservative thinkers in the United States. Under President Reagan, he served, with great distinction, as Solicitor General of the United States. Since then, he has been prominently associated with several Republican leaders and candidates, most recently John McCain, for whom he expressed his enthusiastic support in January.

    This week, Fried announced that he has voted for Obama-Biden by absentee ballot. In his letter to Trevor Potter, the General Counsel to the McCain-Palin campaign, he asked that his name be removed from the several campaign-related committees on which he serves. In that letter, he said that chief among the reasons for his decision "is the choice of Sarah Palin at a time of deep national crisis."

    I will not waste my time watching his psycho-babble. He will spend millions of dollars to aggrandize himself when the millions of dollars could have gone to a better cause, like feeding the hungry. He will try to make excuses for Joe Bidden and himself by using terms like refine, fine tune, tweaking my policies. He???ll say anything yet, his record shows he???s done nothing for the good of America. He???ll spin his associations with; Ayres, Fleger, Wright, Rezko, Jame Johnson, Franklin Rains, Acorn etc. He won???t even talk about the HUD grants for donors or his getting rich off the backs of good American people via Fanny & Freddie.
    Obama will not get my vote because he is so very much less than honest.
    Want to see America go down the drain,Vote Obama.
    Want to see Iran and Venezuela and other terrorist states get their way???Vote Obama.
    Want higher taxes, Vote Obama.
    Etc. etc. etc. etc??????????????????????????????????????????
    Don't watch his circus and give in to the wrong cause. His cause is not good for America and never has been.

    Supporters of the Messiah is preparing a grand victory celebration at Hutchinson Field in Grant Park, Il. In time of financial crisis, they will spend at least$2 million dollars for the ocassion. Mayor of Chicago, Mayor Daley suggested that it be held at United Center since outdoor celebration can cause logistical nightmare. But they refused.

    What will Obama say on this Prime Time Show:

    HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS:

    - Maybe he'll tell us about his FAKE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?
    - Maybe he'll tell us about his PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER IN KENYA THAT WAS IN THE DELIVERY ROOM WHEN OBAMA BORN.
    - May he will tell us about he JUNE 2007 DATE STAMPED ON HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE ( AT THE BOTTOM). **LOOK ON FIGHT THE SMEAR*** ON OBAMA'S WEBSITE

    - It's not a REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATES. Where is the STATE STAMP
    - PHIL BERG'S WHO HAS FILED A LAWSUITE AND HAS BEEN THREATENED
    - The DNC has joined the Obama Campaign TO DISMISSED THE LAWSUITE?? WHY???


    JUST SHOW US THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND LET THAT BE THAT!!!!

    Spread the wealth how? Look at his past. Obama in this video, addressing his work with ACORN litigation against the banks and relating to the Community Reinvestment Act and the failure of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, as they relate to the current real estate and financial crisis, states that, and I quote:

    "Subprime lending started out as a good idea, helping Americans buy homes who previously could not afford to. Financial institutions created new financial instruments that could securitize these loans, slice them into finer and finer risk categories, and spread them out among investors and around the country, as well as around the world. In theory, this should have allowed mortgage lending to be less risky, and more diversified."

    "The original idea was a good one, which was, lets see if we can distribute risk more broadly, and make it easier to provide loans to people who otherwise might not be able to get one."

    Listen for yourself. You cannot dispute the mans on words recorded live:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr1M1T2Y314&feature=related


    Obama in this second video is campaigning at a convention of Acorn and I believe two other ???Community Activist's organizations. Ask if he will be their ally if he becomes President, Obama says, quote:

    "Yes, but let me say that before I even get inaugurated, during the transition we are going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda."

    See and hear it for yourself. Obama promised that Acorn and other groups like it will setting his agenda if elected:

    Below is a link to C-SPAN video clips of the Congressional hearings at roughly the time McCains attempt at S.190. to fix Fannie and Freddie. See for yourself who said what.

(oops!) stating that Freddie Mac was spending tax payer money to target Republicans in 2005 who were trying to regulate Fannie and Freddies fraud. Democrats were not targeted, as the were all in the tank with Fannie and Freddie to kill the regulations. Hear that, the article admits that Republicans were trying to regulate Freddie and Fannie, and Democrats were trying to stop it from happening as a means to facilitate the Community Reinvestment Act.
