Counting On Wal-Mart Women

Despite his pollster's predictions, that group isn't likely to save McCain. So the question becomes, how can the GOP save itself?

    The problem with Obama is a simple one. One association does not a radical make. But in Obama's case, the list of left-wing radical mentors and associates is seemingly endless, (Davis, Ayers, Wright, Khalidi , etc., etc.) with a new revelation practically every day. With that trend, a picture begins to emerge, and that picture is that Obama is as steeped, not in just left-wing political thought, but in radical left-wing economic and race ideology, to the same extent that Pat Robertson was steeped in the ideology of the radical Religious Right. I would not have voted for Pat Robertson for dog catcher, and for similar reasons, I will not vote for Obama.

      You say that you wouldn't vote for Pat Robertson for dog catcher because he is obviously a radical right wing extremist, but 95% of YOUR blogs are filled with radical right wing extremism. How do you explain that? Oh, that's right, you're lying to us again, pretending to be a moderate.

      You are just as much an agent of intolerance as Robertson, and just as much a purveyor of lies and smear tactics as Karl Rove.

      And on top of that, you were kicked off this website, but returned to post again under a similar name. Let's add "cheater" to the words that describe you.

        "Please do not feed the elephants". It only encourages them, and then, when they start rampaging we are forced to use the cattle prod to calm them down.

        They don't realize they live in a zoo, as such, we have tryed mightily to allow them their dignity by letting them believe they are still wild and proud and free. As an integral part of our humane approach to zookeeping, we give them 20 bucks a day to blog away their days in comfort. Forgive them their CAPS, they have no thumbs.

    Obama's plan for jobs on Pennsylvania, West Virginia and other coal producting states, and Obama's plan for dealing with the high cost of energy, including electricity generation.

    An audiotape of an interview Barack Obama did in January 2008 with The San Francisco Chronicle has surfaced in the final days of the presidential campaign. On the tape Obama tells the interviewer how he will use environmenal laws to kill the Coal industry,

    "so if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can ... It's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted."

    Also says he's policy will cause price of electricity to skyrocket.

    Now, why would Obama say that in San Francisco and not Pennsylvania? We've seen him do that before, right? Something about guns and religion.

    And why did Newsweek take their story on the Pennsylvania campaign down Sunday after this story broke?

    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: for you and for me and for America.

    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.

    Obama said he denounced and left the radical Trinity United Church but it???s not true!!

    Obama has Trinity United pastor Rev Ottis Moss accompanying him on his campaign!!

      If your so good at predicting you should have seen Obama winning the presidency!

      Actually, Mr out of touch, America is maturing, and are rejecting the BS that is a staple diet of the GOP. Saying Obama is a fraud is saying Palin is a 3 legged roach with glasses.

      Thanks, and mind your own country's business. You really know little about this country. Or is it you are an expert because you can see America from your fron porch, like Palin can see russia...

    Alaska Personal Board report out today finds no violation by Governor Palin.

      That's right. The Ethics Board members are all Palin appointees. Of course they found her innocent -- she has the power to fire them if they don't do what she wants!

      The Legislative Committee who found her guilty in October had 14 members - 10 Republicans and 4 Democrats - all elected officials with no job ties to Palin. They were impartial.

      Sarah is as guilty of this as the midnight sun's days are long. I read the transcript of the first hearing (the one where she refused to testify). The evidence was overwhelming that she was guilty. You will notice that "her" Ethics Board refuses to release her testimony to them. This whole thing stinks of an inside job. And their announcement, on the eve of the election. Tell me that wasn't political? Yet she claimed she needed the Ethics Board to review her case, because they would not be political. Yeah, right. These people are her paid staff members.

    Here's a video in which Obama discusses fiscal responsibility. Anyone who cares about the economy should see it.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d4a6RNhCUo

    And on this web page, you can calculate the amount of your TAX RELIEF under Obama's plan. (This tax calculator is for personal income, not for businesses. Remember that if you itemize, your tax cut will be higher than what the calculator shows. However, Obama's new 1040EZ allows people to get credit for some itemizations without having to fill out the long form and schedules.)

    You can get even more information on Obama's economic policies from the Blueprint for Change.

    Looks like nowforsomemoretruth can't really handle the real truth. That an african-american is the president of USA. There is nothing Grandpa McCain or Bimbo Palin can do. Both deserve each other and need a hike. After all this dies down, they will still be way better off than you, thanks to your current administration.

    McCain is already sounding erratic with his slip-ups. Maybe he forgot his pills.

  • Posted By: Nowforsomemoretruth @ 11/03/2008 10:05:50 PM

    In the exchange with "Joe the plumber" Obama unintentionally revealed that he really is as radical as his early political mentors and acquaintances, Davis, Ayers, Wright, Khalidi etc., (gee, there sure seem to be a lot of them) and that he is into the failed economic policy of wealth redistribution. Now there is absolute proof. In 2001, Obama, the "community organizer" turned legislator, said in an interview:

    "And I think one of the tragedies of the civil rights movement was that the civil rights movement became so court-focused, I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and organizing activities on the ground that are able to bring about the coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change, and in some ways we still suffer from that,"

    2001 Chicago Public Radio Interview.

    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.
    See Wall Street Journal: A Liberal Supermajority:

    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122420205889842989.html

    Indeed, some democrats are publically saying as much. See Barney Franks comments on the news, including face the nation last week, stating essentially that Democrats in Congress intend to greatly raise taxes and go on a spending spree.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJGnSAlqjoU

    See http://www.taxfoundation.org/blog/show/23617.html

    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.

    Even Bill Clinton says so. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsynspIqAoE
    Obama and a supermajority of Democrats simply is not the change we need, nor is it change we can afford.

    Clift is raising an important point about the future of the Republican Party: they may have lost a whole generation. Thank Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, the Neocons and Rove for their divisive politics and their continuous failure to see that the face of America is changing. We are a pluralistic society, not one composed of "real Americans" vs. "them/others". There is appreciable regrouping needed in the Republcian Party and Newt Gingrich is not the person to lead that re-grouping. Neither, of course, is Palin who is laughably out of touch with reality. Who will that leader to re-connect the Republican party to the larger public? I am a staunch Democrat and am excited about Obama's presidency, but I also understand the need for effective opposition, one based on differing ideals and ideas, not the slime and smears of Rovian tactics. Let's make them a thing of the past, along with Bush et al.

      Yes, and let's arrest Rove and throw his slimy a$$ in the slammer.

      Obama would say that in San Francisco and not in Pennsylvania because it wouldn't play there well. Because that is politics, get it???

      Why would McCain do the same thing sort of thing?? Because it is politics.

      Why are you posting all over newsweek?? Because you are playing politics for your party or your candidate of choice.

      You can try and parse Obama all you want, or blame the media. Bottom line is McCain is losing because he sold out. Why is McCain going against his better judgement and his character in the obscene level of attacks and innueando from his campain? Because that is all they have left. And that is his own fault. He is sleeping with his one time enemy and will go down in flames with them...

    Paulte: You may be right about the gap in an Obama win, nobody really knows. But as far as the GOP and extinction, and America being center-right. Well the GOP is not center right at all. They are nowhere close to that. They are way right and lack integrity, are out of ideas and are big spenders. The intellectuals in the GOP are drowned out by the older generation of out of touch evangelicals. They do not represent thier roots and are a party without an identity. They need to get back to thier roots or they will become extinct.

  • Posted By: paulte @ 11/03/2008 4:32:38 PM

    The Republican party is hardly going into extinction! America is still a center-right nation and this will become obvious in a Republican sweep of the Congress in the mid-term. Sure Obama will probably win but it will not be a landslide. Once the people actually vote, the jury will be in and it will be that Obama does not even get 50% of the popular vote.

    I bet that Obama & McCain will be separated by less than 2% of the popular vote. The media has been a cheering section for Obama and the media controls the polls. Once the final results are in we can compare and contrast and see how poor the polls really were in predicting the tally of likely voters. Polls have had Obama with a 15% point lead and downward. Tomorrow we will see just how far off these polls have been.
