    IFILL: Vice President Cheney's interpretation of the vice presidency?

    BIDEN: Vice President Cheney has been the most dangerous vice president we've had probably in American history. The idea he doesn't realize that Article I of the Constitution defines the role of the vice president of the United States, that's the Executive Branch. He works in the Executive Branch. He should understand that. Everyone should understand that.

    ( Homework for FACTCHECK and Liberals. Go Read Article 1 which is titled " Legislative Branch" and you will see Biden is an idiot)..

    Palin Biden Debate
    BIDEN: Can I respond? Look, all you have to do is go down Union Street with me in Wilmington or go to Katie's Restaurant or walk into Home Depot with me where I spend a lot of time and you ask anybody in

    ( Katies has been closed for at least 15 years, Biden is even out of touch with his OWN CITY)

    Has anyone seen the video of Sarah Palin getting punked by the Canadian radio station CKOI. There's a HUGE difference between Palin and someone like Hillary Clinton. Hillary IS "INTELLIGENT" Just what was John McCain thinking. If she is the best that he can do for a running-mate, and they get elected, GOD HELP US ALL!

    THE GREAT BUSH DEPRESSION
    I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
    He perfectly predicted the current meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen next
    is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
    The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide ,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch , Fanny and Freddy Mae ,AIG
    The government took them over because they are bankrupt. Even with the goverment nationalizing hundreds of billions of dollars in debt the stock market is crashing
    the credit markets are frozen and all of us may suffer beyond anything seen in generations
    McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
    That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand how its been broken.
    It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use quantum mathematical models very few people understand.
    Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.
    Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
    Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
    No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He was the last to know somthing was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime. Check out this link to the truth http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo
    It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
    even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a budget surplus like Bush did but a crashing economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
    If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
    When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
    So why are the polls even close then ?
    Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time talking about obama
    which means running the biggest smear campaign in history.
    They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
    Let's teach him we are smarter than that
    Stand up and hold them accountable
    Bush isn't on the ballot this year but his policies are
    Elect Obama Biden 2008






    Check out this video of sarah palins interview and ask your self if she understands what she is talking about.

    Why you don't care about truth

  • Posted By: HisRoseGarden @ 11/02/2008 1:08:29 AM

    It is realy stupidity and blind arrogance to compare McCain with Bush. Obama claims that McCain voted 90% of the time for Bush's policies, in the senate, when in fact the majority of Democratics and Republicans voted 90% for Bush's policies. That is a common tradition. Compare how many times Obama appeared in the senate, to how many times McCain participated. Obama has realy pulled the wool over your eyes. Look at who is behind the sceans of Obamas campain, it's horrific. Can you truly believe that Obama is so stupid that he never paid attention to his pastors hate messages. He was close to his pastor for 20 years. Duh!! Have you researched that pastors church? Completely anti American, one of the requirements for membership of that church is that you have to be completely dedicated to Africa, not America. Oh! Man!
    How blind can you get people?? McCain is 100% American, he loves his country, he loves us the people of America. He wants to do away with corruption in our government. He wants to make good honest changes, that will help heal all the damages that have been done in the past. McCain is not Bush, by far! Please, don't be so foolish that you are completely caught up with Obama's deceptions. Have you not done any kind of research on Obama at all. If you had you most ceartainly would not vote for that imposter.

    By the way, Obama's VP choice is also a liar. This comes from Tom Sowell, author and syndicated columnist, and professor at Stanford: "When he [Biden] was running for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination back in 1987, someone in the audience asked him what law school he attended and how well he did. Flashing his special phony smile, Biden said, "I think I have a much higher IQ than you do." He added, "I went to law school on a full academic scholarship" and "ended up in the top half" of the class.
    But Biden did not have a full academic scholarship. Newsweek reported: "He went on a half scholarship based on need. He didn't finish in the 'top half' of his class. He was 76th out of 85."

    I doubt if any Obama supporter would want to inform themselves, but here are some really good resources: First, know that the economic crisis largely resulted from the meltdown of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which the Dems supported and defended. Sen. Chris Dodd was the largest recipient of dontations from them, and Obama the second. This really began with Jimmy Carter, and perpetuated by B. J. Clinton. See the NY Times article (not exactly a Conservative paper!): http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0DE7DB153EF933A0575AC0A96F958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all . This article documents the involvement and conflict of interest with Fannie Mae on the part of Barney Frank and his lover: http://www.businessandmedia.org/printer/2008/20080924145932.aspx and also http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aSKSoiNbnQY0. In 2004, when Republicans attempted to fix Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Democrat after Democrat refused to go along, saying there was no crisis! Watch as Maxine Walters lies about their status: http://beltwayblips.com/video/shocking_video_unearthed_democrats_in_their_own_words/

    In 2005, Republican senators saw the danger and tried to reform these institutions with the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulator Reform Act (S.190), but Democrats blocked the bill. Democrats have shot down every effort to fix the problem.

    http://d-o-t-f.blogspot.com/2008/09/placing-blame.html. This traces the evolution of the economic meltdown: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU6fuFrdCJY.
    Last but not least, this is a tape of Obama speaking out against the provision of medical assistance to a baby born alive after a botched abortion. He wants to leave the "care" of the baby to the attending doctor, who of course wouldn't want to admit he botched it and face possible law suits (there have been precedents), and justifies it because saving the child would undermine the intentions of the mother. The very same bill passed overwhelmingly in the U.S. Senate, with even the most liberal of Liberals voting for it! http://www.jillstanek.com/archives/2008/08/baipaobamamp3.html
    BTW, I'm left wondering why Obama really went to Hawaii recently. His grandmother was allegedly gravely ill, yet he waited four days after that announcement before going there. Has anyone heard any more about granny?

    I am a 45 year old business owner. My husband is a 20-year NRA member. Our 19 year old son is in the US Army and is in Iraq right now. I am of sound mind and I am voting for Obama because I believe he is the one that can turn around the economy, the war and our standing in the world. Period.

    altra1,
    At least Palin's daughter isn't aborting her baby, and taking the coward's way out like most Obama supporters would recommend. Just wait until one of Obama's daughters get knocked up by a white man......how is daddy gonna handle that one, given his hatred for white people? I respect Palin and her daughter for facing the situation honestly with the American people, and remaining true to her values and beliefs. By the way, were is Obama getting all this money for his campaign? Maybe he will give up the whereabouts of Bin Laden and keep the reward money too.

    • Posted By: EdieV @ 11/02/2008 3:29:46 AM

        How can you say Palin is sticking to her beliefs when she is a firm believer in abstinence only sex education? If her teachings at home had been for promoting safe sex maybe (just maybe) her teen daughter would not be pregnant. I do not believe that fact has anything to do with her ability (or inability) to be vice president but please do not spout off about her following her beliefs. And race should have nothing to do with this presidential race. Obama's mother was white.... Hello wake up call lets make this about the facts....

        Have you read his 2 books "Dreams From My Father" his own words were:"I ceased to ddvertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13. when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites"? You should read both that book of his and Audacity of Hope. You would no longer side with Obama. In that book he states that 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'. Do you STILL want that man to lead our Nation??????

      This is so ignorant- and people have the nerve to say that Obama supporters are not educated? Sweety, step out of whatever single-wide you are hunkered down in and read the facts: Obama's mother was white and he was raised by his white grandmother.

      And yes, I'm sure that making her under-aged pregnant daughter marry her under-aged teeenage boyfriend will be much better for Palin's career. The couple have supportive families and will never have to decide between supporting the children they have (the BORN ones) and the fetus. Unfortunately, that scenario is really rare, so stop demonizing people who have to choose differently.

    I think that the integrity of the wife says alot about her husband. Cindy McCain has done so many noteworthy things in her life. She is a "Class Act". Michelle Obama is a racist; read her college thesis. She is trash in a pretty dress, any woman who is that tacky would only shame our nation.

    • Posted By: EdieV @ 11/02/2008 3:28:04 AM

      If Cindy McCain is such a class act, why was she with McCain before he was divorced from his first wife who waited for him while he was in a concentration camp? This is the flaw in McCain that the news media fails to bring up.

  • Posted By: radarlover @ 11/01/2008 8:07:38 PM

    Yeah Edie we hear him just fine. He wants to take money from a man or woman who built their business from the ground up, worked hard for it, nurtured it, poured their whole into it and made it something. Now Obama wants to take from those same people who worked their ass off for what they have, and give it to someone who has no desire to work, who sits at home and collects welfare checks because they are too damn lazy to get off their butt and work for what they have. Welfare was the death of the Roman empire and if we keep on going this way it will be the death of America. If you want a break in this life you need to get off your ass and make it happen instead of waiting for Obama to take it from one hand and give it to you.

    • Posted By: EdieV @ 11/02/2008 3:18:44 AM

      Just for the record I have worked all of my life. I began working when I was too young to be working according to today's standards. I began teaching when I was 20 years old and taught for 34 years. I own a business also, but I do not believe that Obama intends to take from me to give it to someone else. Those are the lies that the McCain Palin team keep spouting. Have you read his ideas for yourself or are you just listening to what they have to say. Both of them take one little idea out of context and continue to say the same lie over and over until all of you believe what they are saying. I have kept up with what Barack has been saying. He only wants to see the extremely wealthy pay their fair share. You and I both know that with the loopholes that are out there, the wealthy quite often are not paying in as much in taxes as I am. As a teacher I retired paying in the 33 to 35% bracket for Federal Income Taxes, not to mention all the other taxes. As a realtor, I have a few breaks because of expenses that I incur, but I am still taxed at this high amount. I am taxed on my retirement income also. In my state if I were to draw social security under the current law, I would lose 30% of that as well because of the federal law. Yes, I believe it is time that there was some relief for those of us who have been paying more than our fair share. I am not waiting for a handout. At the age of 65, I am still working as a realtor, a substitute teacher, and I just opened a new business. Barack's plan is to help people who are working and making under $200,.000 as an individual or $250,000 as a family. Small businesses will also get relief if they make under $250,000. The intent is to spread the wealth in the form of some relief for those of us in the middle class while having those who have extreme wealth share. I see nothing wrong with that since the Bush administration has had nothing but tax cuts for the wealthy and nothing for the middle class. It is time for a change. I will take the Clinton administration taxes any day compared to the way we are currently living. I have already voted for Obama and hope he is elected on Tuesday.

    According to FactCheck.org, The top 1 percent of all households got 18 percent of all personal income and paid nearly 28 percent of all federal taxes in 2005, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The top 1 percent now pay a significantly larger share of taxes than before President Bush's tax cuts, and also have a larger share of income....

    The share now borne by the top 1 percent is the highest it has been since 1979, the earliest year for which CBO has figures. And surprisingly, it is larger than in 2000, the last year of President Bill Clinton's administration, before President Bush signed a series of tax cuts that benefited upper-income taxpayers by cutting the top rate on federal income taxes, cutting the rate on capital gains taxes and reducing the estate tax. One reason is that the top 1 percent now receive a greater share of income than at any time covered by CBO's statistics, though those households receive only slightly more than the 17.8 percent share they got in 2000....

    One guy said he read both Mccain and obamas site. Ha McCains site looks like it was set up by a 6 yr old. McCain has said himself he doesn't even know how to use a computer. what does he need a site for. McCain also plans nothing for college education. His education plan is to make more programs in schools for special needs kids just because Palins kid is retarded.

    McCain needs more for higher education. Middle class people should be able to focus on school and work part time. They shouldnt have to work two jobs just to pay for school.

    The middle class use to be real middle class but they are just getting poorer and poorer, theirs not really any middle class anymore. Theirs either Rich or Poor and the rich keep all theit money circulating in their 5 percent. It hasn't tricked down for crap and the more tax breaks the big corporations have the poorer the middle class are getting. This is not socialism. Their will never be sosialism in the united states. Weve tried it bushes way for the last 8 years. What the heck are those right wings so scared of it being tried another way for and as soon as the elections over mccains going to drop joe the wannabe plumber like a hot potato by the way.

    Vote Obama
    Vote Freedom from welfare for the rich!

        McCain never said he doesn't know how to use a computer, he said that his war injuries make it difficult to use a computer. You are a moron.

        You know...I am all about helping people, but guys like you that choose to believe that you are a victim and that everyone else should be responsible for making sure that you get your next break in life disgust me. Why don't you get off your butt and create some opportunity for yourself? I worked three jobs during the school year and two during the summer to get myself through school and I am a better man because of it because I was enriched by the challenge and chose not to be disheartened by the circumstance. What the hell do you think made this country the greatest country on the face of the earth...a bunch of people belly-aching about not getting enough help form the government? I think not. We are great because we are a country of people who risked everything to make their lives better, who moved themselves and their families, in most cases, thousands of miles to a new land where opportunity abounds for those who ahve the guts and grit to scratch out a better tomorrow for themselves today. Get a life.

          Actually he laughly said that he did not know how to use a computer. It may because of his war injuries, but on the particular occasion that I saw him, he did not mention war injuries.

    Why "I" am Voting for Barack Obama.


    Because I believe the government will do a
    better job of spending the money I earn than I would.


    Because freedom of speech is fine as long as
    nobody is offended by it.

    Because when we pull out of
    Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what they're doing
    because they will now think we're good people.


    Because I believe that people
    who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday CAN tell us that the
    polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start
    driving a Prius.


    Because I believe businesses should not be
    allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to
    break even and give the rest away to the government for
    redistribution as THEY see fit.


    Because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite
    the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would
    NEVER get their agendas past the voters.


    Because I believe that open borders and
    government give-aways to foreigners is a great way to
    grow a nation.

    Because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun,
    and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from
    murderers and thieves.

    Because I believe oil companies' profits of 4-5%
    on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same
    gallon of gas at 15% isn't.

    Because I believe in the separation of Church & State
    and that preachers should not be allowed to advocate from the pulpit for a particular party or candidate unless the party or candidate is a Democrat.

    Because as a Union Member, I believe that my votes
    should be a matter of public record.

    because I believe that when a Life begins should be
    a matter of one's personal choice.

    Because I want Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chris Dodd,
    Barney Frank, Al Sharpton, Charlie Rangel, Charles Schumer, Hillary Clinton,
    Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, et al finally having FULL reign on passing their radical agenda for the benefit of the majority of the American people.

    Because I believe that Felons and the Homeless should be allowed to
    vote as long as the latter can provide the bench location where they reside.

    Because I believe that taxing the HELL out of my boss will make my job
    more secure.

    AND FINALLY

    Because I don't believe you can judge a person by the company
    he (she) keeps.

    • Posted By: Carlie02 @ 11/02/2008 2:46:31 AM

      Siciliano: As a psychologist, I can tell you for sure that it's possible to judge the character of a person by the company they keep...but it shouldn't take a degree in psychology to figure that out. Common sense says one doesn't associate with such a group of unsavory characters if there's nothing in common. It might be possible to excuse one such person, but surrounded by such people? Not a chance Obama is in disagreement. There's much more, too....but the L.A. Times refuses to release a video that shows a long friendship with yet another questionable character. Even Michelle Obama is scary; I've read Bill Ayers' Rules for Radicals, and certain themes in her speeches are lifted straight from that book! One thing is for certain: I know now never to trust the mainstream media again; they have lost all credibility with me. Some of the Left's pet projects will occur right away if Obama is elected, but Obama's ulterior plans will only be revealed gradually...and the mainstream media will be held directly responsible for massaging the truth about Obama, for perpetuating his lies, and for withholding vital information from voters. One final thing that's off topic: I notice that some on this board want to crucify McCain for his indiscretions upon his return from 5+ years of torture in a Vietnamese prison. I have to question why they suddenly have an attack of morality, when they gave a pass to old B.J. Clinton, who disgraced this country, performed his dirty deeds in property you and I own, and who continues his indiscretions to this day?
