The Whoppers of 2008—The Sequel

I have no kids, work 60 hours a week or more, play video games and go shopping- this is what I do most of the time. I work so much yet I voted. I don't have to say who I voted for, thank god. Would not want any one telling me I am stupid because of who I voted for. I do not see any point in that. I am not stupid and neither is either of our candidates. THEY ARE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. This means they are smarter than most people give them credit for. As for Palin and Biden, OH WELL. Palin is a Gov and Biden is a Sen so they must be somewhat smart people. How about this, for all you ultra smart people out there- What is your job? Are any of you willing to put yourselves in the spot light and put everything you have ever done- good and bad- out for the entire world to see and judge? I think not. Get up. Go vote for whoever you want. Don't feel bad about it even if someone calls you stupid. Remember one thing- WE THE PEOPLE are what makes this country what it is, not one of us or some of us- ALL OF US.

This statement given by the author of this article sounds more like an opinion then a fact. "In fact, in Obama's exchange with Joe, he was simply talking about making the nation's progressive tax system a bit more progressive by cutting taxes for most while raising them on top earners."
Interesting how it is spun, I had always thought reporters were supposed to report! What a horrible thing the media has done to the American people. It is my opinion, that if the media would do just that, report true facts only, this race might not have been so ugly. Shouldn't your article read "The Facts As We See Them"!

Comment: I think voters should focus on what each candidates intentions are. Though this can be difficult from the amounts of deception coming from democratic and republic sides. The facts really are that no one can know the true intientions of the candidates unless the individual knows them by what issues they stand to protect and defend. People should not be clouded by whats going on from both sides, and the people who have not been following both campaigns from the begging are right now being exposed by this cloud and they have no choice but to take these situations at face value. The down side to this is that election day is right around the corner, do these people have time to dig up the truth? No wonder voter turn out is a big issue in elections. Can you blame the American people for this? And another thing, I've been following both campaigns since the beginning. I've seen and heard all the debates. Am I going to favor one candidate over another sure. Am I going to tell what party I am for or against, NO. bottom line is this. research the candidates, do not listen to everything everyone else is saying unless it actually is factual and unbiased. Then ask yourself this: How do you interpret The United States Constitution. Everyone has a different view. Then ask yourself does any one else interpret it this way or am I the only one? The way I see it is that America should be viewed in the same way we view our survival. Not our domination. Besides how can we dominate ourselves? Meaning, America is composed of individuals who are all equal. We do not differ biologically enough to be concidered unequal. One thing I am not in support of right now is the war in Iraq. Our focus should be on reinstating our position for growth instead of further hindering our abilities to by engaging ourselves in activities that divide us.

I truly appreciate the objectivity of this site;it provides us information that we need about our candidates' comments.Good job!

Goblue1968,

Not sure how to respond to what you wrote, but you're the nationality of the country of your birth. Kenya is in Africa. NE Africa has a huge mix of people who speak Arabic, French, English, and national tribal languages. If you were born in Switzerland, but you were raised by French speaking parents, would you be French?

More importantly, who'd care if Obama was 43.75% American-born Icelandic and 6.25% Australian and 1% Mohawk and 2% Freelance Writer and 19% Swiss Alpian? He's an American, and he's judged by the character of his person, not the color of his skin. Some simple American Civil Rights 411. Get with civil rights, or move out of the way for those of us who are rolling with it. Some day this great nation will have an American-born Japanese president, or an American-born Mexican president. 2008, almost 2009, it too late and too great for any of this ridiculous hate and fear.

Get with it.

atozee, you're a racist, pure and simple. If you don't want to vote for Obama because of policy differences fine, but don't embarrass the American people with comments like yours. I hope making that post made you chuckle because every other McCain supporter cringed at what you just said. At least I hope they did. If they didn't, then this country is in alot more trouble than just some idiots like you.

Also, live birth abortion is illegal. It is only used when a baby has died inside the mother. Do not believe all of the sick folks who sit around writing about this as if everyone is out trying to kill babies. They are not! Nobody wants to kill babies. McCain and Obama do not want to kill babies!

Why is it still a Race? Because of the "Big Lie's" almost every "right -wing" post continues them. Everything from"he's not a natural-born citizen" , he's a socialist ,to claiming he is not a Christian,and lets not forget those those bad associations of his, The Third-Reich propaganda ministry would be proud of You.
Citizenship: You are a natural born citizen if you are born here-legal theory Jus Soli, means of the soil. Thats why children born of illegal immigrants are citizens. OR you are a natural born citizen if Your parents are citizens--legal theory... Jus Sanguinis,means of the blood or by blood -right. Thats why John McCain is a natural born citizen even when he was born in Panama.
He's a socialist because he talks about redistributing wealth...Taxes are a redistribution of wealth to fund things that government must do because we as individuals cannot ,the difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans believe that we should lift the richest boats in the water ,where Democrats believe we should lift all the boats in the water.
He's not a Christan...well he says he is and nothing has been shown other wise. Some claim the proof is the school he attended as a child,well as we all know children do not have much of a say as to where they go to school or Church. My family changed Churches a number of times while I was growing up. I would also like to point out that some Christians are behaving in a very-UN-Christian manner.
Guilt by association...All those bad people he "hangs around" , Well one should be careful about our friends but are we personally responsible for every individual on a board or committee we serve on? John McCain and Sarah Palin ,are they to be rebuked for their associations if Obamma is? If McCain brings up Rezko should Obsmma bring up Keating? When they bring up Ayres should Obamma bring up The U.S. Council for World Freedom ,McCain was on the board and they were affiliated with, ???former Nazi collaborators and ultra-right-wing death squads in Central America.???
When Palin says Obamma is Anti-American should we ask her about Todd Palin???s membership in an anti-American, pro-secessionist Alaskan political party. If they bring up Rev. Wright should Obamma bring up Rev.Hagee ,who has referred to the Roman Catholic Church as "the great whore"
Please notice that the Obamma camp has not gone down the same path as McCain . Maybe McCain should remember something about "casting stone's

I try to listen only to the issues and ignore all the backstabbing. However there is one big issue I cannot ignore. McCain chose a running mate who does not know or understand the US Constitution. There have been two very clear instances (I was watching them) where she did not have a clue. I would have thought after the first goof she would have read it, but apparently not. When I was in school we had to pass a test on the Constitution before we were allowed to graduate from grade school and go into high school. Apparently Alaska doesn't have any such requirement. I am a registered republican but McCain's choice of a running mate has convinced me that he would not be good for America. I am one of the voters who is still undecided, but I do know it will not be for McCain/Palin.

I can not believe that they comment that on Obama being anti-American and a Muslim. First America was born because of religious freedom, the pubs think we should all be the same and if you are different you are not a true American. Palin's hubby is member of the succession group to be a country of their own, now is that an "I am a better American than you" attitude. Palin herself attended the sessions of this radical group that is an anti-American act. plus she is ignorant of the law and the constitution.
Obama's comment "spread the wealth" is something I agree with. My husband and I were middle class and now we are just lumped in the poor group due to pay increases being far below the cost of living increases for 8 years.
One more thing Clinton was on top of binhiden, he warned Bush and it and Bush ignored it. The attack happened under the republican senate, congress and the president. Clinton had the car bombed that he thought bin lande was in but it was his brother. So don't lie about Clinton not being on the watch, Bush minimized that risk, and 9/11 happened because he was all about Iraq and getting back at them for daddy. That is why he didn't care about the Taliban.
I am a Christian and the God I pray to loves everything living thing on this planet, and Muslins are not evil they just believe differently than I do.
The two men that blew up the Oklahoma building were Christians so does that mean all Christians are evil? No, it means those two men were evil. Every religion has it???s extremist, do not base any religion on the acts of a few extremist.
mcCain lies when you see his lips moving, he can't be trusted, and he is Bush jr. He never speaks about his policy he only bad mouths Obama. McCain is not fit to be President and that is why he will not be elected. I am going to make sure everyone I know goes to the voting booth to cast their vote. We can not win this election unless you do vote, don't think the race is over, keep your momentin up and be sure to vote for Obama on Tuesday.
