    Vote John McCain!!!!!!!!! Vote John McCain!!!!!!!!!

    McCain probably holds the Guiness Record of surviving the most crashes. He is a luckiest person alive. We need someone with that kind of luck running our country.

    John McCain is a modern day King Arthur.

    Instead of pulling a sword out of stone, he has performed the modern day equivalent of surviving relatively unscathed five plane crashes including being shot down over Hanoi. Thousands of pilots have died in plane crashes and it takes real skill to crash land a plane and survive. If you look at the now defunct ValueJet 592 crash in the Florida swamp that killed everyone on board, it did not take a lot of skill to fly the plane nose down straight into the Florida swamp. The 911 United Flight crash in Pennsylvania is also proof of an unskilled crash landing where everyone was killed going nose down first. So John McCain???s having survived those crashes is a testament to his flying skills.

    Vote John McCain!!!!!!!! Vote John McCain!!!!!!

    Lawyers are wordsmiths by craft. Look at Barack Obama, he has written two books already at his early age. Ninety-nine percent of lawyers do not have the experience of pushing numbers around. Most lawyers are mathematically challenged. The solutions to our economic and budget crisis involve the understanding how our economy and banking system works.

    Economic and banking theory can not even be remotely understood without an ability to work with numbers with relative ease.

    John McCain like all pilots has proven mathematical ability and the quantitative experience to understand and find solutions to our economic problems. Instead of blindly relying on some advisor or group of advisors which has caused some of our economic problems,

    John McCain can step back on his own and make an independent judgment using his own computational skills whether a specific plan makes sense.

    Vote John McCain!!!!!!!! Vote John McCain!!!!!!

    The problem with Obama is a simple one. One association does not a radical make. But in Obama's case, the list of left-wing radical mentors and associates is seemingly endless, (Davis, Ayers, Wright, Khalidi , etc., etc.) with a new revelation practically every day. With that trend, a picture begins to emerge, and that picture is that Obama is as steeped, not in just left-wing political thought, but in radical left-wing economic and race ideology, to the same extent that Pat Robertson was steeped in the ideology of the radical Religious Right. I would not have voted for Pat Robertson for dog catcher, and for similar reasons, I will not vote for Obama.

    Well, one thing we know. Obama won't be a good thing if your working in the coal industry, an industry that uses coal or electricity generated from coal, or in a coal producing State. In a taped interveiw in January, Obama states:

    "So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can," Obama said. "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."

    Who on earth would take anything Newt Gringrich has to say seriously? The man's a hypocrite in his personal life and about as much in his professional life. Do any of you remember those ridiculous taped lectures he gave in the ninties? I do. They're good for a great laugh and that's it.

    As I speak , a republican liar is really at it! His name is Roy Blunt, and he is saying every lie that McCain speaks, even to the point of citing "Joe the Plumber"! Someone needs to tell the republicans, that McCain's Plumber, was booed today by real plumbers, who actually have a license. I don't know why , the republicans, just can't get someone who is honest, to be on their side! Mr. Plumber, doesn't even have a license,..and he owes the IRS, a 1000 bucks, and he lives in a 90,000 dollar house, making less than 40,000 per year, worrying about his taxes going up! What difference does it make to him, he don't even pay his taxes! The republican party has produced some of the worst liars, in History, Nixon, Tom Delay, Hoover, Bush no. 2,(appropriate), Scooter Libby, G.Gordon Liddy( also a burglar), Sarah Palin(also ignorant of the constitutional job describtion of VP) who lied about abusing her power, Rumsfeld, Cheney, and the list goes on, but I won't. I pray, that we don't swap one liar, for another! McCain did serve his country in his youth, but he isn't in his youth anymore, he has lost his integrity! I thought he was getting it back, until about a week ago, when they started up again , dodging the issues, and going after Obama , calling him a socialist, when it was republican Theodore Roosevelt(repulican, his cousin Franklin was a Democrat) started the progressive tax system, based on your income! They don't have any solutions, and so they go the "dirt" route, just like Nixon!

    Gingrich ls a liar just like the rest, he was humping , while he was after Clinton, and it wasn't his wife!As I speak , a republican liar is really at it!

    This moronic scumbag Samuel J. Wurzelbacher "Joe the Plumber" had his AZ driver license suspended

    http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/128323

    Wurzelbacher, who lived in Mesa in 2000 and had an Arizona driver's license, had his driver's license suspended by the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division on May 4, 2000, following a nonpayment of a court-imposed fine for civil traffic violations, according to court records.

    ...owes nearly $1,200 in back taxes, according to public records, still owes more than $700 to the Mesa court system.

    Records show he was cited for failure to stop at a red light and for failure to provide proof of insurance on Feb. 9, 2000, in a black Dodge truck at the intersection of Dobson and Baseline roads in Mesa.

    After failing to pay his original fine of $627.50 issued in March 2000, his license was suspended and the fine was handed over to a collection agency along with a 16 percent surcharge. The now-resident of Holland, Ohio, still owes $727.90 to the Mesa Municipal Court, according to court records.

    Hopefully the collection agency will break both of his legs so he'll never be able to walk nor work ever again. This typical Republican scumbag deserves it.

    Who cares what that lying cheating windbag has to say on anything? He along with Bush, bears heavy responsibility for where we are today. Good riddnace to a flaming gas bag

    Honestly, looking at McCain and Obama objectively (without any party affiliation or any racism) I really can't see why anybody would vote for McCain. Obama has offered a much more coherent plan to get America out of the economic disaster we are in.

    Right now, most people are anxious about the economy, fearing the worst but hoping for the best.

    Reality check: within 18 months YOU could be standing in a bread line. That's how bad it really is. And Obama will work actively to prevent this short term, as well as make us strong again long term. As much as I like McCain and admire his patriotism, he really is not up for the job, not now with the global markets falling apart.


    Obama's economic plan can be found at:

    Here's an excellent video about the economy:

    To all of the conservatives out there who think that Obama is a flaming liberal, I would like to remind you of what he did when he was elected President of the Harvard Law Review. The Law Review President gets to name ten individuals to write articles for the Review, and these ten people get to control the content of the publication. All of the minorities and the liberals thought they finally had it made, that Obama would appoint ten left wing editors. Instead, Obama appointed three conservatives, three liberals and four moderates. That year the Law Review was critically acclaimed as the best run and best written Harvard publication in decades.

    So when he wins in November, conservatives don't have to freak out. Obama is a centrist and will appoint a balanced cabinet full of active people who will really get things done. Kind of like the way our multi-cultural society is supposed to be. And exactly what we need in this time of economic crisis.

      ObamaYesWeCan is a McCain supporter. He poses as an Obama supporter and posts nasty comments designed to make Obama supporters look bad. He used to give his web address, and when you went to his website it was clear that he supports McCain.

      Not to mention, OYWC, that "Joe the Plumber" is old news. You have re-posted this one thousands of times in the past two weeks. At least write something new. We're bored out of our minds with this re-run.

      I'm an Obama supporter and I wish Joe the Plumber well.

      I know that you are trying to be offensive OYWC. Well, you've succeeded in offending McCain and Obama supporters alike. Go look in the mirror and think about the meaning of "success." Get past the smirk, then get to work on improving yourself.

    People should listen to the recording of this phone call between Palin and a comedian pretending to be French President Sarkozy.

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp=27491253&#27491253

    I have to say, Palin sounds like a nice, conciliatory person, but she also sounds as dumb as a rock. It is incomprehensible that she didn't realize that it wasn't Sarkozy, especially when he referred to "Nailin' Palin" and the fact that his wife was good in bed.

    But worse than her failure to recognize the prank is the fact that when Sarkozy referred to the Prime Minister of Canada using the name of a rock star, Palin didn't even get it -- apparently she does not even know the name of Canada's Prime Minister -- despite the fact that you can see Canada from Alaska. (Ahem.)

    Poor Sarah. She's in this way over her head.

    Not long ago, Joe Biden said that no coal burning power plant will be built. another case of misspoke by Biden? May be he was just to follow up Al Gore's suggestions that all electric power generation will be done by renewable fuel ( i.e. wind, solar and biofuel), in ten or twenty years

    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.

    So...Newt drives an Escalade and doesn't think part of a presiden'ts role is to urge Americans to conserve.

    How does this make him qualified to discuss our country's energy problem? The man is clearly part of the problem, and has no business attacking Obama's or anyone else's energy plan.

    What is most troubling in todays political climate is the promotion of hatred as a philosophy. The emergence of an ultraconservative dogma relies increasingly on the encouragement of mass hostility aimed at one group in particular - Americans with progressive political views. Liberals are spoken of with the kind of dripping contempt and virulent hostility that used to be associated with racism and sectarian religious strife. Liberals are viewed not as fellow Americans citizens concerned with the future of their country, but as ideological enemies that need to be destroyed - and eaten if possible. This view is fundamentally anti-American.

    This right-wing sect manifests a complete lack of empathy toward other Americans whom it defines as its ideological enemies. Its core beliefs are absolutely impervious to reason and are unleashing ugly and violent impulses. What makes their zeal so dangerous for our country is their willingness to do serious damage to our precious American Democracy in their quest for absolute power.

    SOUND FAMILIAR? IT DOES TO ME AND I AM SICK OF IT. IF YOU ARE TOO, VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN ???08

    Our nation better wake up and smell the coffee. With all our bail outs along with the 168 billion economic stimulus package, that btw did nothing for our economy it is hard to understand why our government can't see the need to bail us out of our dependence on foreign oil. I am appalled at all the articulating stories of green technology losing hope of being furthered because of lower gas prices. How long does anyone really think this decline will last? OPEC holds the key and we are at their mercy. They just cut 1.5 million barrels in production a day and vow to cut more if prices don't rise again. Instead of spending billions upon billions on bailouts, why don't we instead invest in renewable energy. We have GUARANTEED returns if we do this. I just read a fascinating book by Jeff Wilson called The Manhattan Project of 2009 Energy Independence NOW . I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in seeing our country become energy independent. He has a web site he can explain it better than I .. www.themanhattanprojectof2009.com
