    And what about McCain's Nazi and Latin death swad ties. Do a search, its well documented (its on foxnews.com also).
    the U.S. Council for World Freedom

    McCain has these ties. However, Obama has not exploited them because supposedly McCain has changed. That is integrity from Obama. McCain has no integrity.

    Not enough credit is being given to DNC Chairman Howard Dean. When he took the party reins 4 years ago and announced his "Fifty State Strategy" there was widespread weeping and gnashing of teeth among national Democratic Party officials but he pushed on. The groundwork he put in place meshed perfectly with a candidate such as Barack Obama, who first established a strong ground game. Given the impending sea change in national politics dean will be certainly be regarded as a seminal figure.

    Do NOT forget:

    The republicans DOUBLED the National Debt in the last eight years. That is a $5,000,000,000,000.00 increase.

    There is where the spenders are.

    Remember, in 1992 the republicans were saying the same thing about Clintons policies as they are about Obamas now.

    And Clintons policies created the best economy of the last 50 years, CUT the National Debt and handed Bush a SURPLUS.

    The republicans are in full fear mode now and do NOT want you to think about this.

    MSNBC just reported that the US has bombed targets in Syria because the Syrians aren't doing enough to stop terrorists from crossing their borders into Iraq. Nothing like a sudden foreign crisis 9 days before the election to help out John (bomb bomb bomb Iran) McCain. What song could he change the lyrics to include "bomb" and "Syria"?

    Obama's ill-conceived programs will require him to tax, and his health care plan alone is a substantial hidden tax on all business, large an small. In reality, it does not really matter who he taxes, those taxes are going to be passed through the economy. He has to tax, because it is they only way he can pay for his massive social engineering experiments. Any first year economics student knows that taxation is a tool used to contract an economy experiencing inflation, because it reduces demand by reducing the amount of money individuals and businesses have to spend. It is contractionary, which is exactly what you do not want to do when the problem is that the economy is contracting already into recession. Like Hoover and FDR, Obama's plans will only make it worse for longer.

    See e.g. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/10/03/opinion/main4499465.shtml

    How many full-time employees with benefits does a person with a $50,000 income personally employ? For most, none. How many does a person with $250,000 employ? One less under Obama's tax plan, two less if you include Obama's health plan.

    What do you really know about Obama's economic philosophy? Since he has never run a town, state or business, he has no record to look at. Oh, he has made lots of promises, but given that he broke his promise to be limited to public campaign funds, you cant put much faith in that, and there will be no means to keep those promises anyway.

    But you do know that Obama, along with his democratic buddies in Congress, personally and professionally advocated for a residential housing policy favoring forced sub-prime lending, which subsequently resulted in massive defaults and foreclosures, leading to your loss of significant equity value in your home, to the point that it destabilized your banks, which panicked the stock market, which wiped out your savings.

    Look and listen to Obama for yourself. Obama in this video, addressing his community activist work and his work representing ACORN in litigation against the banks and relating to the Community Reinvestment Act, and addressing the failure of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae as those actions relate to the destruction of our economy by causing the current real estate and subsequent 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."

    Acknowledging the catastrophe, but as apologist for the Democrats, Obama then offers this justification.

    "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."

    Yah, great idea. Economically unsound, but embraced by Obama. Listen for yourself. You cannot dispute the mans on words recorded live:

    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.

    In the exchange with "Joe the plumber" we find learned that Obama really is as radical as his early political acquaintances, Davis, Ayers, Wright, etc., and that he is into the failed economic policy of wealth redistribution. Obama's tax and spending plans alone would be bad enough, but add Reid and Pelosi to the mix, with the three of them controlling both houses of Congress and the executive branch without any effective restraint, and you have something that should causes concern even among moderate Democrats.

    Does this piece actually SAY anything? It's just sort of a recap of how well the Democrats are doing. What's the point? Newsweek gave over space for this?

    Let's not get too carried away with the long term implications of big Obama win. In December, 1964 many pundits (and liberal Democrats) were writing obituaries for the Republican Part, Barry Goldwater having been roundly trounced by LBJ. And from 1968 until 2004 how many "liberal Democrats" won the Presidency?

    The chickens are coming home to roost for the Republicans.....Obama and all Democratic Party Candidates have a solid, comprehensive message and the current administration policies are wholly inadequate and faulty. It is time for unity and for change will come in the form of Barack Obama. He is a transformational figure, to quote Colin Powell, and he just makes more sense. America is sick and tired of the dummed down talking points and folksyness of Bush and now Palin/McCain.....Eight is more than Enough. America, Open your mind and research the facts ....don't be lazy, look into it yourself.

    "Barack Obama's campaign killed all interviews with a Florida TV station after Sen. Joe Biden, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, faced tough and critical questions from a reporter at the Orlando station, the Orlando Sentinel reported. In a communication which serves to put all other media on notice that an Obama administration will exercise media blackmail in response to tough questioning, the Obama camp killed a WFTV interview with Biden's wife Jill, according to an Orlando Sentinel blog.

    "This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election," wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign, according to the Sentinel.

    Be careful what you wish for. All that money that Obama has recieved comes with a little IOU tag. He will not be able to deliver everything to everyone he has promised somehting to. In 18 months he will make the dislike of W look like a joke.

  • Posted By: Justajohndoe @ 10/26/2008 3:09:57 PM

    Be careful what you wish for. An majority government of Democrats with no real opposition will be expected to perform miracles and Obama will have to satisfy all those folks who voted for him because of thier race, creed, color and ethnic origin. He won't be able to deliver all things to all people. Watch these supporters trun on the Democrats witihin 18 months.

    How does it feel to be called racist if you do not vote for Obama? That is how I felt when I objected to neoconservative control over the Republican Party. Why, I was merely a cloaked Jooooooooo-hater. An Anti-Semite. And it is very effective. It shuts down the dialogue. Wipes it out.

    Until the Republican Party ejects neo-conservatism from its leadership ranks, they cannot have any leadership role in governance. Particularly when it comes to foreign policy.

    This is where Libertarians and the so-called, rebranded paleos walked the deal and refuse to vote for McCain. He is controlled by the neos.

    In a civil society there are certain name-calling things you cannot take back. So watch out Libs. It could happen to you.

    There hasn't been a Democrat majority in Washington since 1965, and before that, 1933. It looks like we are about to see another such event take place. By November 5, 2008 both houses of Congress and the Presidency will be in Democratic hands.

    For those readers who can think for themselves, think back to 1965. Kennedy and the Civil Rights movement. A pivotal time in our history, one we can all be proud of. And 1933, when FDR gave us the New Deal and turned around the Great Depression. If you think about the past century, the only two times that we have had a liberal Democrat majority, America got STRONGER and BETTER.

    Obama in this 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 and pledge to meet with leaders of Acorn and the others present at the convention in his first year, 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 has promised that Acorn and other groups like it will a part of his transition and setting his agenda if elected:
