Counting On Wal-Mart Women

America is growing up! Our country is maturing, and that is a good sign!

The GOP is lost. This is a very good article!

The GOP is the party of "out of touch". When you mix religion (at the level of the GOP) and politics you get politics plain and simple. Reagan (who I really liked) was out of touch back then, but it took many years and a lot of pain to see where that got us.

The walmart mom, soccer mom labels are really not applicable in any real sense. People are paying attention now, and the next generation is very well informed because of the technological advances. The GOP has become the party of stagnation and misdirection. They are done for a while, at least until they rebuild from the ground up. Even young evangelicals do not agree with the older generation's over simplification of the issues, nor do they agree with the immaturity of a 2 issue party.

The GOP blaming the media for "biased" reporting in this election would be akin to a neo-nazi organization saying they were being covered negatively. They need to come to grips with the fact that they are out of touch, and just plain WRONG and many, many issues. Their real problem is that reality has a liberal bias.

Obama reveals plan for jobs in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and other 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, "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."

Now, why would Obama say that in San Francisco and not in Pennsylvania? We have seen that before, yes? Something about guns and religion.

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

Harley-left you a post below....

???Nowforsomethingotherthanthetruth??? exemplifies the measures employed by the McCain campaign starting with the anonymous smear emails that began when McC hired the Bush propaganda machine.

This deception campaign tries to benefit from party loyalties. It preys upon hate, prejudice and fear, and on the ???unanswered questions??? fabricated by the anonymous emails this campaign perpetrated. Links to debunks of many of those fabrications are in an earlier posting.

This is by far the greatest extreme ever in American politics. It is a fundamental threat to our political process. It would further entrench the Bush operatives who took over the McC campaign, and the republican lobbyists who represent only the megarich who looted our economy.

McC was a maverick. He promised to root out the lobbyists he said are what???s wrong with Washington. He said he would not take the low road employed by the Bush machine when it smeared him. He sold out when he got behind and subscribed to the ideology that the end justifies the means.

McC would continue the Bush tax give away to the rich that McC previously opposed and called ???irresponsible??? because ???it only benefits the rich.???

McC now wants to give more billions in tax give aways to oil companies that have just reported the largest profits in history for two consecutive quarters, while he claims that lowering taxes for everyone under $250k in after-deduction income will somehow keep businessmen from starting businesses.

???Nowfor??? has employed many of the themes in the anonymous viral emails. He recently said it was ???revealed that Obama has PLO buddies??? referring to Rashid Khalidi to whom McC donated $440k:

"Nowfor" continues repasting that the cause of our problem is a law decades old that encourages loans to qualified low income people.

Alan Greenspan said the cause is that an entire financial system was built outside of regulation; "we trusted" these self-interested looters ???to regulate themselves???. Credit Default Swaps resulted. They increased from $106 trillion in '02 to $531 trillion under R stewardship.

The legitimate news has reported that Fannie and Freddie paid many millions to McC's campaign manager, Rick Davis, who received up to $35K/mo. from Fannie and Freddie from 2000 to while he has been McC's campaign manager.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/22/us/politics/22mccain.html and http://www.newsweek.com/id/164732/page/1

Trillions were looted from our economy because the Rs allowed it. The Rs, including McC's campaign manager, are in the pockets of big money.

Without solutions, it is necessary to campaign with deception, misdirection, fear, smears, hypocrisy.

Attempts to hijack our political process with deceit and abuse of the trust of party loyalties are reasons I'm voting for Obama after 40 years of never voted for a Dem.

A 40 year republican

I hate to stereotype all Repubicans but it's sad to see that after 8 yrts of Bush and his stupid comments, the best they had was Palin. Someone who read out her resume to the world the day she got selected. Someone who just like Bush got fed all the crap from the Rovian organizers of her party. McCain knows he cannot win anything and all he keeps repeating is drill, socialist and the most common ...'my friends'.

That sounds like a man who defeated himself and wants to create more division rather than unite the country.

The height of pathetic behavior is using 'Joe the Plumber' as a figure when people are worried about the economy. Pathetic! Just like Cindy McCain's smile.

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.

It's so clear...the Republicans know they're not going to win and are still posting messages to negate Obama. I really feel bad for the McCain-Lieberman (pandering) ticket. Palin was mentioned somewhere as the future of the Republican party. I can't help myself from laughing over this prospect. This will be amazing. I'm actually very happy some Republicans consider her the future of their party.
After all that i've seen(including the recent prank call), i would advise the Republicans to select Tina Fey.

For those who dont want to do the math that is 12, 800. per year, less union dues, taxes, health insurance and other deductions taken out of pay. Think about it.

PASSPHRASE: "I'm Southern by grace of God." But remember if that dog don't hunt; he ain't never caught a rabbit and he ain't no friend of Elvis, the once and future King. Even if he *is* Gomer.

I am one of those "WalMart" women-. If McCain had wanted my vote he should have thought twice before selecting Sarah Palin as his running mate. This is a woman who should still be in Alaska being prosecuted for "abuse of power"- not elevated to the White House where we are just getting rid of a Vice President who thought abuse of power was a given right. The American public certainly do not need another. When John McCain chose Palin- who obviously was chosen for charisma over substance- he was saying to women everywhere that he disrespects our intelligence and does not care about women's rights.
