    we all need to keep our values and add to them. we need to believe in GOD we trust, we need to pledge our allegience to the flag, we need to remember our soldiers so they do not die in vain. we cannot use abortion as birth control because someone deems it a woman's choice, and we cannot fund mulitple abortions as birth control because it is a woman's choice. we as american's need to have more values, not less. we as american's need to support our troops in iraq. doesn't anyone remember the shame our soldiers felt when they came home from vietnam? think long and hard before voting. i for one am voting for mccain/palin. ps you only see what the liberal press wants u to see and hear. sarah palin is not dumb, nor is she not qualified. with all the "magical editing" tv and nespapers do?come on people wake up!!! i saw palin speak. she is far from dumb.

      I have been a Republican as long as i have known the meaning of the word. The Republican party was a great concept until, people with these long outdated god, small g, views started to redifine the ideas of a political party. In DC there is only one religion, that is politics. In the United States of America, the only religion is freedom and choice. The seperation of god from our federal government is one of the fundamental believes that seperated the U.S.A. from the rulers of the rest of the world who claimed devine authority. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on abortion 30 some years ago. It is done, leave it alone, I don't know how anyone can not support our troops, they sent to do a terrible thing, and even though it is terrible they have performed with exellence. The fact tis hat i don't agree with: 1) telling people of another nation how they should live 2.) alowing Bin laden or however you spell it to go free, while friends of mine die in an unermaned operation in Afghanistan. 3) some of the greatest youth in our nation dieing for the profit of older men. I do believe that Americans should put gain more values. Value the life of our youth, value the freedom of choice and religion, value the fact that people can disagree with govt, and each other freely, and value that we are all allowed to think. Don't vote your religion, vote your beliefs.

    Ummm. This has nothing to do with racism. Senator Obama is fooling all of you. He doesn't salute the American flag, he won't put his hand over his heart, he won't sing the national anthem, and he doesn't respect the troops who defend our country with their lives. Please just look at the facts. Obama is a liar.

      You have been listening to McCain and Palin again, huh?

      • Posted By: proudmarinemom @ 11/01/2008 10:57:30 PM

        No those words came straight out of Obama's mouth. He is the one that said he would not sing our national anthem, would not salute our flag and is not behind our troops. I say if he can't support our troops then let him stand in front of them!!!!!!

        • Posted By: EdieV @ 11/02/2008 12:40:21 AM

          Obama has never said any such thing. This is just another one of the Republican lies. If he had said this it would have been on every news station and McCain and Palin would have pounced on it to the point they would have run him out of the country.

        • Posted By: vlamb @ 11/02/2008 12:01:01 AM

          Please can you tell us when you heard him say this? I'm sure the clips will be on the Internet.

    I think Obama is full of CRAP. I also think that a lot of people are buying his CRAP hook, line , and sinker. I think the sad thing is the choice we have. Which is CRAP and CRAPPIER. I beleive that John McCain is the better of the two. He will also do a better job than Mr. Crap Obama. Hilary could beat them both.
    The real issue isn't the two candidates. It's the two parties. The Democrats and The Republicans. Neither party really looks out for the American People. They just spend millions of Dollars blowing hot air. Hoping that we will buy there lines of CRAP. We the People need to get rid of all the Bozo's that have been around Washington D.C. so long. Let's have term limits. Let's also give the President line item veto power. It may stop some of the pork that everyone keeps putting into bill's.

    Those of you who remain undecided, just think about this-Mrs. Palin is a heart beat away from the Predency if McCain wins and becomes ill. Tell me about her experience that does not include personal vendettas, a lack of a well read, international perspective based on a completed broad-based education as well as a family life that will serve as a poor example for the Vice President. My decisions in all elections are based on the experience of the candidate, his/herability to maintain perspective and focus on a wide array of local and global issues and not JUST because of service in the armed forces or because of gender or because of outward appearences. THINK AMERICA, THINK!! Partisan politics aside, ask yourselves, what is best for America. John McCain AND Sarah Palin? I THINK NOT.

    • Posted By: QuadEagle @ 11/02/2008 12:37:11 AM

      Sarah Palin has more executive experience than does Barack Obama. Sarah Palin has more experience in government than does Barack Obama. Do I wish she had more...I do...but that experience will continue to grow as time goes on. Better to have the question of experience at the bottom of the ticket rather than on the top.

    I am not sure which Joe the Plumber answer from Obama you heard, but what i heard was an attempt to take Joe's money and give to someone else. SInce when was "fair" part of the equation for hard work. I employee twenty people. People that need this employment not to mention the healthcare I do provide them. The more I am taxed, the more people will be on the street. WIthout pay and without health insurance. And by the way, have any of you been to a hospital in Frnace or Italy....one trip and you will be for privatized medicine.

    Obama Wright has been practicing his Racist tactic his whole carreer. His associates speak for themselves, his interview in 2001 shows his true views and how he wants to use redistribution as a way to help the Blacks. trying to buy votes with a promise to give them money, not his money, never his money, but he treats the governments money as his money. Just as he sued Citibank as being racist to force them to give out subprime loans. He is like the rest, using racebait tactics to make a living. Then he claims that he is the one who will bring unity.

      ONLY UNITY HES GOING TO BRING IS UNITY OF THE BLACK COMUNITEE

      HEY GUYS GUNS SALES ARE UP 22% IN THE USA
      THE ONLY GOOD THING THAT OBAMA IS DOING FOR THE ECONOMY

    I hear people use the word democracy. Did you fail history. Your right though. A democracy will not work, people left to their own devices are to greedy, stupid and etc. That's why our forfathers formed a democratic R E P U B L I C. The gridlock that we always complain about is there by design. That's why if Obama gets elected watch out, our whole federal government system will be from politicalone party. Now that's something to be afraid of

    • Posted By: Joetheplumberscrack @ 11/02/2008 12:30:21 AM

      Your right it was scary when the republicanscontrolled the presidency, the house and the senate. Bush ran this country into the ground while sacrificing the lives of those bravest in this country by invading a country that posed no threat to us. All the while, the country next door was building nuclear weapons. Oh, but we got "cheap" oil out of the deal. Hell, its down to $2.50 a gallon plus a trillion of our tax dollars.

    Palin is willing to say what needs to be said, even when it doesn't please the powers of her own party or the other party line. I think that needs to be appreciated and admired . Why should I admire an idiot who we are paying thru taxes and collects are benefits. give me a break
    Factcheck.org is nothing but a dishonest left-wing propaganda machine. Really the owner is a Republican who supports Bush III. Get your facts straight.
    Please giv e me a radical in the White House..please. Afterall GWBush is Number #1 and you fools just don't get it. YOUR Running scared that YOU can't have more power and Bush III. YOur number is folks. Join Hannity and Russ L and weep. YOUr going to see change. I don't think you will feel a thing in taxes since most of you don't make $250,000. Tell me why you want The Rich to get Richer? Why do you and McPain want more loop holes for the Oil companies? YOur paying at the Pump for Cheney and Rumsie wrong doing. How about bringing home 10 billion a month to American? Yup GW is giving to Iraq monthy. Think about it. more your pockets

    • Posted By: QuadEagle @ 11/02/2008 12:28:16 AM

      I am inherently opposed to the notion of using the tax system to take money away from someone who has more than me so that I can recieve a redistribution check. There is no fairness in that. I don't know how they raise men where you are from, but where I was raised men are expected to take care of themselves and to provide for their families. They don't rely on the hard work or wealth of other men to do it for them.

  • Posted By: diesel79 @ 11/01/2008 9:22:33 PM

    Does anyone realize that the president does not have control of what goes on. We elect people to congress and senate and of course or president. If anything gets passed its because there is at least 2/3 vote. So when i hear people talk about how bad of a job Bush has done it makes me ill. Most people dont like to think about this stuff and only true americans support our troops no matter what. Nobody has told our fellow americans that they have to serve in the armed forces, it is a decision that many people make for one reason or another. I trust someone that has bled for this country and served with honor and that is somethin that is hard to find outside service men and women. Our economy is failing because of all the ceos making large salarys that dont deserve them and not because we are at war. Just remember before you vote dont choose somone because of what they say they will do, choose someone that proves they are dedicated to this country.

      The wars in Iraq and Afganistan have had a huge impact on this country's budget.

    how dare people try to judge obamas character. McCain also left his first life while she was dying with cancer to go marry miss money bags. thats a undisputible fact. McCain refuses to release his medical and psychiatric records and he donated 400,000 to ayers. more undisputible facts John doesn't have a plan all he talks about is obama. this should be such a simple choice but people are so ignorant.
    First of all Obama is backed by warren buffet, the richest person in america. Yes he is even richer then Bill Gates and thats why he has so much campain money. Secondly he is not a socialist, all he is doing is moving the tax rates for people who make over 250,000 a year back to where they were under Bill Clinton ( which was when the economy was phenomanal by the way. And instead of giving the tax breaks to big corporationsa nd wealthy people hes giving them to the middle class instead.

  • Posted By: Dairus @ 11/01/2008 9:28:47 PM

    Viveca Novak, Factcheck.org has missed McCain's claim was that Barry previously supported a tax increase for people making as little as $42,000. It is apparent that Factcheck is in bed with Hussien Obama. A new wringle on the Obama tax plan is the $200,000 figure. He has never said anything about $200,000 dollar amount in any debate. And, if Ms. Novak had done her research the Hussien camp is now talking about $150,000 and a Dem Congressman mentioned $120,000. In other words, if you receive a paycheck you will receive a tax increase.

      Walter Annenberg died in 2002, and his widow Leonore is now president and chair of the Annenberg Foundation. Annenberg has donated to the McCain campaign, and on October 8, she publicly endorsed John McCain for president. McCain now lists her on his campaign website as a ???former U.S. Ambassadors for McCain-Palin.??? In fact, she???s second on the list.
      So do you still think Obama calls the shots at Fact.check.org?

    • Posted By: EdieV @ 11/01/2008 10:52:28 PM

      The amounts are cuts for INDIVIDUALS making $200,000 and FAMILIES making $250,000. Check Obama's website if you really want to know his proposal. That would take a little time, and I am sure that listening to McCain/ Palin lies is much easier.

    REMEMBER WHEN YOU MADE $10.00 PER HOUR AND YOU BOSS GAVE YOU A 10 CENT RAISE AND YOU LOST MONEY BECAUSE IT PUT YOU IN A HIGHER TAX BRACKET

        Actually, she found this on her own. We have no problems expressing our opinions. Normally I'm not big on young children involved in politics, however, since Obama felt the need to write a childrens book to show what a swell guy he is I thought she needed more information. Seriously though, she's seven and you feel the need to say something. please.

      Why do you keep asking this question? I can't answer it because I'm not a member of the the KKK. Will some member of the KKK answer this question for this person? I can say that I hope not. That would be awful. I would hope that the days of the KKK killing black folks were over. Are you fasicinated with death or something? You do know that black folks would lose their ever-loving minds if that happened! Now you know.

      I am not for Obama however, I hope that an assasination does not happen if he gets in. I remember JFK, Martin Luther and Robert Kennedy all these assaninations were horrible and I would hope America has learned from the past . No one has the right to take another life.

    Just as the man said,"We are witness to the attempt at the most radical re-distribution of wealth in human history". Predicated on the premise of "equality", the suggestions that the very people who insure a vibrant and successful society, those whom we love to hate because of their extravagances, "The fat cats", after all their eforts to realize the fruits of true freedom to pursue "The American Dream", should give their "Piece of the pie" to someone who could care less about anything other than how much they can screw the "System", Us, is absolutely ludicrous. WHEN Mr. Obama is elected, not by my vote, we may as well burn the constitution, and create our own communist manifesto.

    Barack Obama discovers a leak under his sink, so he calls Joe the Plumber to come and fix it. Joe drives to Obama's house, where it's clear that all the residents make more than $250,000 per year. Joe arrives and takes his tools into the house. Joe is led to the room that contains the leaky pipe under a sink. Joe assesses the problem and tells Obama, who is standing near the door, that it's an easy repair that will take less than 10 minutes. Obama asks Joe how much it will cost. Joe immediately says, "$9,500." $9,500?" Obama asks, stunned. "But you said it's an easy repair!""Yes, but what I do is charge a lot more to my clients who make more than $250,000 per year so I can fix the plumbing of everybody who makes less than that for free," explains Joe. "It's always been my philosophy. As a matter of fact, I lobbied government to pass this philosophy as law, and it did pass earlier this year, so now all plumbers have to do business this way. It's known as 'Joe's Fair Plumbing Act of 2008.' Surprised you haven't heard of it, senator."In spite of that, Obama tells Joe there's no way he's paying that much for a small plumbing repair, so Joe leaves. Obama spends the next looking for another plumber, but he finds that all other plumbing businesses listed have gone out of business. Not wanting to pay Joe's price, Obama does nothing. The leak under Obama's sink goes unrepaired for the next several days. A week later the leak is so bad that Obama has had to put a bucket under the sink. The bucket fills up quickly and has to be emptied every hour, and there's a risk that the room will flood, so Obama calls Joe and pleads with him to return. Joe goes back to Obama's house, looks at the leaky pipe, and says "Let's see ??? this will cost you about $21,000."A few days ago you told me it would cost $9,500!" Obama quickly fires back. Joe explains the reason for the dramatic increase. Well, because of the 'Joe's Fair Plumbing Act, a lot of rich people are learning how to fix their own plumbing, so there are fewer of you paying for all the free plumbing I'm doing for the people who make less than $250,000. As a result, the rate I have to charge my wealthy paying customers rises every day. "Not only that, but for some reason the demand for plumbing work from the group of people who get it for free has skyrocketed, and there's a long waiting list of those who need repairs. This has put a lot of my fellow plumbers out of business, and they're not being replaced ??? nobody is going into the plumbing business because they know they won't make any money. I'm hurting now too ??? all thanks to greedy rich people like you who won't pay their fair share. Obama tries to straighten out the plumber: Of course you're hurting, Joe! Don't you get it? If all the rich people learn how to fix their own plumbing and you refuse to charge the poorer people for your services, you'll be broke, and then what will you do? Joe

    • Posted By: calipauthy @ 11/02/2008 12:07:02 AM

      Joe immediately replies, "Run for president, apparently."
