      This reminds me of all the times I've heard Republicans screaming about how Hollywood should stay out of politics. I guess it's different when they're FOR your candidate, huh?

      You say don't believe their lies and you repeat one, that Obama doesn't put his hand over his heart.....it is a lie, and so what if it was true, does it really mean a thing? Let's talk about the issues, please!

      Party like it's 1773! I've already bought champagne! If the GOP riggs it again I'll have to switch back to bourbon.

    I have to ask . . . does any member of the Republican party truly believe that but for the biased elitist MSM, they would win the Presidential, House and Senate races up for grabs on Tuesday. As far as I'm concerned this is just more of the same excuses for Republicans to hold office . . . don't vote Democratic, they'll take away your guns . . . don't vote Democratic, you'll have to pay all the credit card bills we Republicans ran up while we were in office . . . don't vote Democratic, they are godless Philistines. Quichercryin', for Pete's sake! If Republicans can't point fingers at Democrats of which to be frightened, they have to point fingers at something other than their own piss-poor governance . . . in this case, it's the MSM. You know what? . . . I think they call it "mainstream" media for a reason.

    40YearR: You cant run away from Obama's own words, much as you try to avoid them, or Clintons.

    Posted By: Nowforsomemoretruth @ 11/01/2008 5:16:10 PM
    Comment: Hear Obama and Clinton for yourself, in their own words wothout the filter of someone elses opinion..

    Bill Clinton says so. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsynspIqAoE

    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:

    The GOP's biggest fear is not that Obama is a black radical muslim socialist, but that he will in fact be a great President. That would mean the next Republican President to feel the sunshine on his face in the Rose Garden would be a LONG LONG way off!

    So, they bring up all the same old crap out of the basement, without even bothering to check out the truth. Here are the answers to all the Obama smears using various trusted non-partisan sources. Investigate for yourselves before believing anyones version of the facts.

    I'm sure some will blame the media, blame anybody, but truly the Rs have only themselves to blame. Ignorant about history, current affairs and events, and unwilling to have civil discussions, they have truly imperiled the continued existence of the US. McCain was a party to that. With their fingers figuratively stuck in their ears and screaming invectives at the top of their lungs for 30 years was all that passed for political discourse with them. Now we even wound up with a President who can't speak simple English sentences, supposedly had an MBA but totally trashed our economy and the Federal budget and sold us to the Chinese and other overloards, whily weaking our armed forces almost to the point of exhaustion. Yet sounding shrill and bellicose. The American people are fed up with this phoniness and it ends January 20 with the election Tuesday of President Obama, 44th President of the US. Hail to the Chief!!

    And the last time Eleanor personally ran into a "Wal-mart woman" was probably her maid.

    Welcome to the Pravda mainstream media, that is time, newsweek, the washington compost.

    MAINSTREAM MEDIA = YELLOW JOURNALISM

    Not only are Republicans are convinced, it is proven correct that it's the media that TRIED TO turn the tide in favor of nobama.

    But wait for Tuesday when the great silent majority comes out and votes in President McCain and VIce-President Palin. This will be a referendum not only on nobama, but on the left-wing media establishment.

    WE ARE JUST NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!

    HOW TO WIN A BATTLE

    [1.] - Take the fight to your opponent and beat him in his own RED house.

    [2.] - Blitz your opponent in such a way he has no time to read your strategy and setup his defenses.

    [3.] - Surround your opponent on all sides and he leave him no escape route.

    [4.] - Overwhelm your opponents with every resource available to bare.

    In all of John McSame's Naval Academy years, and in all his years in the Navy, apparently he never learned lessons from freshman course 'Battle Strategy 101'.

    Senator Obama's (potentially) successful campaign strategy against a powerful war hawk like McSame is another of many reasons I'm rejecting McSame and voting for the Obama-Biden ticket.

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

    Sarah Palin would be an Idiot, no matter what her gender was,..she believes that Cheney defines the VP job,....she even agrees with him! The reason Palin excites the base, is , she is as dumb and blind as they are ,..she would make a good mud wrestler, ..with a bunch of Sun. goin' Hipocrits cheering her on,....and then join them in Church the next day, only to have a repeat performance the next Sat. nite! She exploits her womanhood, and then complains, that someone recognized her acting like a typical steriotype woman. I have a great deal of respect for women, and I think she is one of the worst things to happen to the women of this country ! She talks and smiles, and says nothing that makes any sense,..just attack jibberish,...even that is a lie,....if she doesn't know Obama,...how can she repeat any story that 's out there! If you don't know someone, how do you know the person that told you a bunch of crap, isn' t lying , or wrong! See,..she's a liar!
