    Can't wait until Hussein Obama, opps! I mean Barack Hussein Obama becomes President. Let's watch and see how his Progreesive Far Left Wacko supportersreact when they are ask to turn in there IRA's and
    401(k)'s into the Federal Government. The Democrats in Congress want to place this money into the Social Security Trust that the same politicians have mis-managed for decades resulting in a system that is going to fail. This is being discussed by Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack H. Obama. Don't beliveve me? Just wait and see.
    What scares me more than Barack H. Obama becoming elected is tha fact that he will be supported by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Not to mention Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and Chuck Shumer. By the way these individuals are directly responsible for the problems in our economy because they pushed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to failure.

      Wasn't it in 1998 that John McCain, as chairman of some Republican committee, gave Rashid Khaliki $500,000?

    Did you hear the Hollywood crowd's high pitched voices over the Palin wardrobe? Now these are the ultra ultra rich people who BORROW extremely expensive clothes to parade down the red carpet and give each other prizes and take up HOURS of tv time to try to force Americans to watch them award each other...................................

      Force people to watch them? Hey buddy, there really is an on/off switch on your TV. No wonder you like the farce of McPalin

    My question is why are Americans not questioning his Obama's morals and lying?. If he attended the Reverend church at least twice a month for twenty years, obviously you know and support such radical views by then. And he has been seen having dinner with known terrorists current or past, why are people not smart enough to know he's a bad choice? Why would you not ask him to explain? Because you know he cannot?

    • Posted By: Melstheone @ 10/31/2008 12:10:47 AM

      come out from under your rock, he has explained everytime he is asked about Ayers, Wright, etc.......
      Funny but when Reagan was good friends with the foundation that sponsors Ayers, you Reptiles had no problem. You have no problem with Delay writting sexually explicit email to highschool age pages, or the nut get blow jobs in the bathroom, or the Colorado Minister who was a Bush advisor until it was discovered that he hired male prostitutes or the fact that when Laura honey was 17 she killed the driver of the other car in a car accident. Check out snopes. com or Media Matters. Lets see, Bush bought his way out of the Viet Nam war, admits that he had an alcohol problem, and you reptiles thought that McCain was no war hero when he ran against Bush. Your party is a disgrace.

    Sarah Palin and her family are big time phonies---Look at the first dudes record. She can't even take good care of her family let alone run our country!!!!!!!!!!!!

      chi-chi you are confused, you are talking about Obama and his relitives living in the slums. Get your facts right.

      • Posted By: nimodahooligan @ 10/31/2008 4:08:29 PM

        im curious as to which relatives of obamas are residing in "slums"... the relatives in kenya? well, thats africa my friend, a country riddled with slums, making up a very large part of the population of africa in the first place...

        next...

  • Posted By: wermy33 @ 10/31/2008 11:54:26 AM

    I believe that Sarah Palin is conservative in her spending, otherwise there would have been no need for her to have new clothing. Also the 150,000 was spent not only on her clothing Eltaco, but also on clothing for her family. Which if they are going to be on national television, I can certainly understand. And has anyone looked at the price of a man's suit recently,,, lol. Everyone is making much to do about nothing. Having some clothing bought for public appearances has nothing to do with her fiscal policy and beliefs. Get a grip.

    • Posted By: nimodahooligan @ 10/31/2008 4:05:41 PM

      haha, cuz she doesnt have a good fiscal policy!!! she pays her stylist more than her foreign policy adviser...so you go get a grip...

  • Posted By: rwert1@msn.com @ 10/31/2008 3:38:20 PM

    There is a lot of anonyimity here. Why would anyone make "anonymous" statements? If you are outraged, you are outraged!!!! You shouldn't be afraid to stand up and be counted anmong the outraged --- unless you are afraid to stand on your principles. There is nothing wrong with being outraged!!! --and saying so ---with your name. Is fear of losing your job THAT fearful?

  • Posted By: independent1956 @ 10/31/2008 3:10:52 PM

    I believe the right will keep up the fear card because they cant blame the economy on the left. If only BUSH had kept his first promise of putting democrats in positions in his cabinet they would have a scapegoat but they dont. Thats why McCAIN has stooped to the rove level. By that i mean lets scare the dumb poor people so we can stay in control. As far as PALIN she should stop palling around with her husband since he once belonged to th separate alaska from the U.S. CLUB. THAT MAKES HIM A RADICAL IN MY BOOK.

    my oh my , palins in the starlight . from way up north of the dancing aurouras lights. her celestial glimmer shines upon us awful bright. is she hot ? or is she cold- we are weary and growing old. had she had a wand, would she save our pond.? had she had plenty of dollars, she make us all scream and holler. the mystery is very near for most will celebrate with keg of beer. tell me dear, when the time is here. will you wipe my tears................

  • Posted By: sunblocker @ 10/31/2008 2:32:47 PM

    abt $150k for palins makeover, is total proof of americans wasting money foolishly. I'm just happy its not taxpayers $$$. yaa know, if palin had dressed as her normal self.there would be doubt in my mind she get my immediate vote!! lil abner and daisey mae are memorable characters!! what could I say. a chanel lady is smelley,maybe thats why her and joe befriended each other!!! WHO KNOWs???aren't polictics funny-lets see who will believe my lies campain.....................................................

    i can surely see that why some americans are insensitive. the haves are being stroked and the have not are being degraded.persecuted - tar ed and feathered. lazy they call em, sure for a mie nute few, but for the most part -- NOT TRUE!!! most are not stupid, they like the haves would like good employment and benefits. which is given to a small percentage like the haves. they too, will be victims of greedy coporations downsizing.i suggest those damming americans,should be hashed just like the unfortunate.. enough is enough, bullies do not rule!! EVERY LAW ABIDING PERSON DESERVES DIGNITY AND RESPECT, NO MATTER HOW RICH OR POOR THEY ARE.......................................

  • Posted By: chi-chi @ 10/31/2008 11:32:19 AM

    Sarah Palin is a big phoney--She can't take care of her own family properly let alone run our great country!! I can just see her shopping a consignment shop with them making 250,000 a year. Send her back to Alaska but then again for all she has done there they might not want her back

    John McCain's Naval Academy.

    By: Jordan C. Fan, Prophet Of Environment.

    An important presidential election record will be broken this year, it is not the first time that a woman or Black person will be elected to the Executive office. We will be witnessing a great American tragedy unfold right before our eyes. It is one of the rare occasions when a native son will not be elected by his own state. To make it worse, such native son is the greatest hero in an area which has always been the pride and joy of that state. Correct me if I am wrong! I have hardly heard any one at the Republican Convention or during their campaign mentioned the Annapolis Naval Academy, not even McCain himself. Being born in Panama to a naval family and travel all over this country and the world, McCain really does not have a true home. Arizona is a states he used for election to Congress which he has not visited frequently. The Navy Academy is the only place McCain can really call his home in which he had spent the happiest time of his college life with his navy friends. Maryland should welcome her naval native son with open arms and elect him as president.

    Unfortunately, Maryland have 1.6 million Black or approximately 30 % of the state's population or making it the "Black Capital" near of the real U. S. Capital. It was 36 % to 61% (almost double) in favor of Obama over Hillary during the primary there. All media and people there have expressed the sad fact that little or no Marylanders will vote for McCain. I personally don't like McCain very much but my conscience forced me to campaign for him. This episode is not only the greatest disgrace of all Americans but also of that of the human race. It is an unforgivable sin committed by all Marylanders and her Black racists. I suggest the Government relocates its Naval Academy out of Maryland. Arizona is probably not a good location because it is a desert and has no water for the navy people. McCain should decide where it is going to move to depending on whether that state has voted for him. This time, the true and only battle ground states (Armageddon) are not Ohio, Florida or Michigan but Maryland. The decision is not who is going to become president? But whether God had made a mistake in creating man?

    As usual with this letter I, as Prophet of Environment, have ended this election right here and now. People, advertisement and media don't bother to comment on the election again. It will a waste of our time. May the Environment and Spirits Of Halloween prevail and help McCain and Palin win.

      Al Gore did not carry his own state or Clinton's state when he ran for president.

        sometime I wonder about people like you with your ignorance , that constantly invole God in your stupidity, the whites and the blacks are all immigrants of north america

  • Posted By: sltshkr @ 10/31/2008 12:02:45 AM

    to wakeupamericavoteformccain. It may be true that Obama did use campaign money to go visit his grandmother but do keep in mind:

    1. I am positive his trip did not cost $150,000
    2. It was for a reasonable cause, his grandmother is near death
    3. He has a surplus amount of money available compared to that of McCain.

    McCain's camp could not afford to do that, however Obama's camp can afford this and millions of other trips and still have enough to support their campaign. CHEW ON THAT!

    • Posted By: Eltaco @ 10/31/2008 9:50:34 AM

      I'm so sick of McCain whining about his jealousy of Obamas money....why doesnt he just dig in Cindy's billion dollar Budwieser deep pockets and HUSH his mouth?!

    • Posted By: Melstheone @ 10/31/2008 12:16:30 AM

      good point and it should be pointed out that Obama is not using public funds, I for one , gave money to his campaign and I am glad he used my little bit, to go visit his Grandmother. Public (ie: my taxed money) paid for Palin's clothes and that is not what public financing was supposed to cover

  • Posted By: asheepdog @ 10/30/2008 5:35:37 PM

    The Obama campaign has spent $2 million on his victory party (he isn't too confident is he?) and over $4 million on the 30 minute "ain't my plans great" political commercial, but they have the nerve to nit pick over $150,000? Picky, petty, small minded, just plain sad. The Dems are really stretching it find somehing to complain about.

    • Posted By: summer4077 @ 10/31/2008 9:38:39 AM

      The main difference is that Obama has the money to spend. McCain doesn't.

    • Posted By: Mzalendo @ 10/30/2008 6:05:29 PM

      How is it that any criticism againt the GOP and it's picks is by 'The Obama Camp'? Is it so unreasonable to think that the media, ordinary folks as well as Republicans can be critical of McCain & co without you attributing it to Obama.
      Perhaps he trully is the messiah if you thinks he is so omnipotent.

  • Posted By: Vote Now @ 10/31/2008 8:22:54 AM

    Comment: Obama has 63 Nobel Laureates working on his policy team. They are developing a plan to push America back to the top. Who is responsible for McCain's planning? Americans would be shocked to find that Douglas Holtz-Eakin is the sole person responsible for planning McCain's policy for America's future. Holtz-Eakin is also McCain's economic advisor, filling two full time positions on McCain's team. How can one single man (an economist) be responsible for developing a viable technology plan for our future? Obama has an enormous pool of the most intelligent, talented men and women in America working for him. Soon, they will be working for US.

    And let's not forget that the McCain campaign spent more on Palin's makeup artist than it did on it's foreign policy advisor. When you pay your makeup artist DOUBLE what you pay your foreign policy advisor, it is time to start examining your PRIORITIES.

    You look just fine without makeup, John. And Sarah is young enough not to need any. So cut the crap, and start paying some good ECONOMIC ADVISORS so you can have a fiscal plan to present to America. We're in the middle of a huge global financial meltdown, and you are worried about hair and makeup? PLEASE start worrying about the middle class, John. Please.

    BUSHES LITTLE SIDEKICK
    I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
    He perfectly predicted the current meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen next
    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 ,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch , Fanny and Freddy Mae ,AIG
    The government took them over because they are bankrupt. Even with the goverment nationalizing hundreds of billions of dollars in debt the stock market is crashing
    the credit markets are frozen and all of us may suffer beyond anything seen in generations
    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 how its been broken.
    It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use quantum 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. . 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. Check out this link to the truth http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo
    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 budget surplus like Bush did but a crashing 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.
    If you are tired of going back instead of forward hold them accountable this time
    This is our last chance to cushion the impact of of a economic meteor.
    If mccain cant use a computer even to send email do you really hes qualified to run our country during a depression
    Your common sense knows the answer

    Bush may not be on the ballot this year but his policies are
    You can have more of the same our we can turn the page NOW
    Elect Obama Biden 2008






    Check out this video of sarah palins interview and ask your self if she understands what she is talking about.

    i FINALLY GET IT. THE NEWS MEDIA IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR US AMERICANS. EXAMPLE, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT JOE THE PLUMBER IS A FRAUD, NO LICIENCE, NO BUSINESS, A REGISTERED REPUBLICAN. YET, THE NEWS MEDIA KEEPS ON CONTINUING CALLING HIM A PLUMBER. THE NEW MEDIA HAS TAKEN THE FRIVOULOUS AND MADE IT MAJOR NEWS, WHICH SHOWS THEY DON'T REPORT THE NEWS THEY MAKE IT. THE NEW MEDIA ALSO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MANY DEATHS IN IRAQ. AT LEAST THE MOST HORRIBLE ONES. THERE WERE NO KIDNAPPING, NO BEHEADING, NO REAL VICIOUS ATTACKS ON AMERICANS, UNITL THEY CAME OUT WITH THAT PRISON STORY THEN ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE AND ALL UNHEARD OF THINGS BEGAN TO HAPPEN. FOOLING THE WORLD AS ALWAYS AND NOT TAKING RESPONSIBLE THEY PLAYED IT OFF ON THAT DUMB PRESIDENT BUSH. ITS AMAZING HOW THEY CAN BUILD UP A JOE THE PLUMBER, A GUY WHO DON'T PAY TAXES AND IS WORRIED ABOUT TAXES, GIVE ME A BREAK . HURRY UP NOV. 4 SO WE CAN ELECT OBAMA WITH OR WITHOUT OHIO
