Counting On Wal-Mart Women

IT IS AMAZING THAT THE SAME PEOPLE WHO CHOSE SARA BECAUSE OF HER SEXY CONSERVATIVE LOOK I.E GLASSES AND SHORT SKIRTS ARE NOW COMPLAINING OF SEXISM FROM THE MEDIA. I REMEMBER PAT ROBERTSON YELLING" AND SHE IS HOT SHE'S HOT". GIVE ME A BREAK THEY WANTED TO TURN ON HORNY OLD REPUBLICANS, WHICH MAY HAVE WORKED BUT WOMEN DO NOT LIKE THAT KIND OF CRAP

If you like the way the country is heading, vote McCain--if not , vote Obama.

I think a better article title would have been "A desperate John McCain tries to pick up women at Wal-Mart." haha! - Metropony

The thing is - should GOP be helped by anything?
Maybe it's time for it to disappeared from the stage with all False claims and statements, supid Palin and Liar McCain. I guess, no maybe, let it be so.

Unlikely, these ladies will all vote for McCain. Anyway, who needs Walmart when you've Obama's got the Target, Costco, and Super K women? Either way, it seems like most women have already purchased their cleaning supplies to begin their spring cleaning of the White House and GOP Congress on Nov. 4th !!! GO OBAMA BIDEN, ladies do your thing!

It was deregulation and failure to watch the PRIVATE SECTOR that LAMBASTED the deenfranchised that caused this debacle we see today. McCain and yourself for MONTHS only wanted to look at Fannie Mae and your tunnel vision did not see the private sectors involvement in all of this. Fannie Mae is regulated and you two love deregulation. You were not interested in SOLVING the problem, you only wanted to SMEAR democrats especially Barack... NEWS FLASH it's not working.

More than 84 percent of the subprime mortgages in 2006 were issued by private lending firms
Private firms made nearly 83 percent of the subprime loans to low- and moderate-income borrowers that year.

Only one of the top 25 subprime lenders in 2006 was directly subject to the housing law that???s being lambasted by conservative critics.

Clearly it was private lenders, not the government-backed Fannie and Freddie, which issued the lion???s share of subprime lending overall, and to low- and moderate-income borrowers in particular. In fact, economist Dean Baker notes that Fannie and Freddie ???lost market share in the years 2002-2007, as the volume of private issue mortgage backed securities exploded.???

The authors also note that between 2004 and 2006, ???private investment banks???not Fannie and Freddie???dominated the mortgage loans that were packaged and sold into the secondary mortgage market. In 2005 and 2006, the private sector securitized almost two-thirds of all U.S. mortgages, supplanting Fannie and Freddie, according to a number of specialty publications that track this data.???

As for the Community Reinvestment Act, only one of the top 25 subprime lenders was even subject to that law because it applies only to depository institutions???banks and thrifts. A study released earlier this year by a law firm specializing in Community Reinvestment Act compliance estimated that in the 15 most populous metropolitan areas, 84.3 percent of subprime loans in 2006 were made by financial institutions not governed by the CRA.

In fact, the CRA actually created more responsible lending. In a speech last March, Janet Yellen, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, noted that, ???[m]ost of the loans made by depository institutions examined under the CRA have not been higher-priced loans. The CRA has increased the volume of responsible lending to low- and moderate-income households.???

Now go forth and sin no more.

McInturff's assertions about the Wal-Mart women coming out in droves to save the election was really about something else that McInturff' talks about privately - - - that low income whites prefer McCain almost 9 to 1; even in the 18 to 29 group. That group McInturff jokingly and very privately calls the "White Trash" vote, and that is now being targeted heavily by the McCain campaign as the final "Hail Mary "of the election.

And then you have the oled deposed Republican leadership who could have really made a difference - - - like Newt Gingrich - - - he is not heavily into the fray because our current Republican part y dleadership espises him. Newt actually said about the current leadership that they had created the Democrat's Campaign slogan and it's "Have You Had Enough." Then we found out that Joe the Plumber did not even have a plumbing license. . . nice touch . . . maybe someon could have checked out the story earlier before riding that horse.
So I'm perplexed . . .the campaign is being run like dumb and dumber . . . with an actual strategy to go after the "White Trash" vote who they think will turn the election around for them . . . brilliant strategy . . . maybe I need to go get an old beat up pickup to drive to the polling place . . . and I can just think of the bumper sticker that I might use. Mr McInturff . . . you're a real genius - - - maybe next time we can get some input from Bill Kristol - - - someone with some common sense . . . and he would have made a better VP too.

Hey check out this cool story on Kansas City Newspaper:

Bill McIntuff is just trying to rally the troops, every single independent poll (and Obama's internals) show him winning this election in a big way. The GOP is in the sink. Cowardice, incompetence and massive criminality has taken the party of Reagan and turned it into the joke of American politics. The Dems are going to win the WH and control the Senate, and congress...Repugs who don't like it, well they only have themselves to blame:)

A few words to "Now..." Do you really think you can sway anyone from voting for Obama with all of your guilt-by-association" smears? I've already voted for him and I don't regret it. I vote for policies, and the Democrat's policies are in line with those I support. Of course, I know there are some empty-headed "undecideds" who change their vote with the time of day or the setting of the sun, and maybe you can have some luck with them, but don't hold your breath. I could say, "nice try," but since your tries are not very nice, I'll skip that.

nwittingly took a prank call Saturday from a Canadian comedian posing as French President Nicolas Sarkozy and telling her she would make a good president someday.
"Maybe in eight years," replies a laughing Palin.
The Republican vice presidential nominee discusses politics, the perils of hunting with Vice President Dick Cheney, and Sarkozy's "beautiful wife," in a recording of the call released Saturday and set to air Monday on a Quebec radio station.
Palin campaign spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt confirmed she had received the prank call.
"Governor Palin was mildly amused to learn that she had joined the ranks of heads of state, including President Sarkozy and other celebrities, in being targeted by these pranksters. C'est la vie," she said.
The call was made by a well-known Montreal comedy duo Marc-Antoine Audette and Sebastien Trudel. Known as the Masked Avengers, the two are notorious for prank calls to celebrities and heads of state.
Audette, posing as Sarkozy, speaks in an exaggerated French accent and drops ample hints that the conversation is a joke. But Palin seemingly does not pick up on them.
He tells Palin one of his favorite pastimes is hunting, also a passion of the 44-year-old Alaska governor.
"I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun," the fake Sarkozy says.
He proposes they go hunting together by helicopter, something he says he has never done.
"Well, I think we could have a lot of fun together while we're getting work done," Palin counters. "We can kill two birds with one stone that way."
The comedian jokes that they shouldn't bring Cheney along on the hunt, referring to the 2006 incident in which the vice-president shot and injured a friend while hunting quail.
"I'll be a careful shot," responds Palin.
Playing off the governor's much-mocked comment in an early television interview that she had insights into foreign policy because "you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska," the caller tells her: "You know we have a lot in common also, because ... from my house I can see Belgium."
She replies: "Well, see, we're right next door to different countries that we all need to be working with, yes."

PALIN GOT PUNKED PART 2
When Audette refers to Canadian singer Steph Carse as Canada's prime minister, Palin replies: "Well, he's doing fine and yeah, when you come into a position underestimated it gives you an opportunity to prove the pundits and the critics wrong. You work that much harder." Canada's prime minister is Stephen Harper.
Palin praises Sarkozy throughout the call and also mentions his wife Carla Bruni, a model-turned-songwriter.
"You know, I look forward to working with you and getting to meet you personally and your beautiful wife," Palin says. "Oh my goodness, you've added a lot of energy to your country with that beautiful family of yours."
The Sarkozy impersonator tells Palin his wife is "so hot in bed" and then informs her that Bruni has written a song for her about Joe the Plumber entitled "De rouge a levre sur un cochon" ??? which translates as "Lipstick on a Pig."
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama derided his Republican challenger John McCain's call for change in Washington as "lipstick on a pig," days after Palin made a lipstick joke at the Republican convention. The McCain-Palin campaign then released an ad implying Obama was calling Palin a pig with that remark.
The caller asks Palin if Joe the Plumber is her husband and adds: "We have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France. It's called Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit."
He also tells the Alaska governor that he loved the "documentary" made about her and referred to a pornographic film with a Palin look-alike made by Hustler founder Larry Flynt.
She answers tentatively, "Ohh, good, thank you, yes."
The callers then reveal the prank and identify themselves and their radio station.
"Ohhh, have we been pranked?" Palin asks. "And what radio station

Bill Kristol's "fire the whole campaign" was in reference to their failure to use Rev. Wright's rantins and ravings in their ads....he tought they missed a great opportunity.
The press is the press....McCain will pull it off in spite of them. Arnold was right bringing up the fact McCain has spent more time in a POW camp than Obama has in the Senate....and people are getting it.

What is most troubling in todays political climate is the promotion of hatred as a philosophy. The emergence of an ultraconservative dogma relies increasingly on the encouragement of mass hostility aimed at one group in particular - Americans with progressive political views. Liberals are spoken of with the kind of dripping contempt and virulent hostility that used to be associated with racism and sectarian religious strife. Liberals are viewed not as fellow Americans citizens concerned with the future of their country, but as ideological enemies that need to be destroyed - and eaten if possible. This view is fundamentally anti-American.

This right-wing sect manifests a complete lack of empathy toward other Americans whom it defines as its ideological enemies. Its core beliefs are absolutely impervious to reason and are unleashing ugly and violent impulses. What makes their zeal so dangerous for our country is their willingness to do serious damage to our precious American Democracy in their quest for absolute power.

SOUND FAMILIAR? IT DOES TO ME AND I AM SICK OF IT. IF YOU ARE TOO, VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN ???08

Seems to me it's irrelevant whether or not Ms Clift knows any Walmart-women - her article is not based on her own research but that if the man at UC San Diego. And HIS commentary seems to me to be convincing.

And how about Professor Gingrich - using the Russian word for "truth" to describe the MSM!?! Thanks Newt.

Cons and Neo- Cons love to forget how it was a malleable media which help them sell the Iraq war. They love to brag about how Faux News ruled in ratings for years and how AM radio is their domain... But the media is liberal?
