McCain

All throughout the debate McCain continually said "I know how to fix that" but in the end of the debate he said "I don't know what is going to happen??? What does his $5000.00 tax plan do to help people with no children or health insurance??? He is clearly another Bush that I don't want to see another four years of. I looked in our local classifieds for jobs today and there were all of 10 jobs in it??? Just as dad Bush didn't kill Saddam son Bush forgot to kill Bin laden??? Remember when Clinton was president gas prices were .99 cents??? It's a no brainer!!!

Imagineering

Being from Wisconsin, I've seen more than my share of spin. And we fall for it. Has anyone even checked out Obama to see if he's telling the truth? Why are some people so in love with him? Have they been lulled into believing illusions rather than facts?

Tonight in the debate, did you realize Obama lied to you when he tried to sound Biblical? Nowhere in the Bible will you find the phrase he used: "the right hand taketh, but the left hand giveth away". This is a glaring example of the lengths Obama will go to try to deceive you into trusting him. (And unfortunately, many so-called Christians have fallen for his blatant deception.)

Doesn't it seem odd that Obama remains almost too calm and collected just after the stock market dropped 500 points? Maybe he's unaffected to be in touch with anyone's personal crises. Way too cool and detached to actually do much of anything when times demand an overhaul of our system to avoid a global collapse. Does he even realize what we're facing?

Obama is a convincing orator, but where will he lead you? He makes you sympathize with him, but how is that enough to be president? He's likable and talks eloquently, but I see little reality in his words. What kind of real change will he bring about?

Did he just borrow his ideas? Socialized healthcare is Hillary's. The New Deal belongs to FDR. Dreams belong to MLK, Jr. Sorry, green went to Gore; so what's left? Clinton's "I feel your pain?"

By the way, if you recall, while Clinton and "that woman" disgraced the oval office, Bill quietly forced banks to give mortgages to people who couldn't pay for them. Now you and I are stuck with the $1.7 trillion bill that Bill left behind. (And that's only the tip of the iceberg. China was sleeping in the Lincoln bedroom while Monica was under the desk.) Now why on earth would anyone vote for Bill's choice for president?

What will Obama really do as president?

Obama will give billions to Wall Street swindlers and look the other way (that's the way they've done it in Chicago for years). Obama will give your money to people who don't pay their bills.

Obama will control your child's healthcare (Don't you remember who else wanted to control the youth of their nation?) Sorry, Obama, you can't have my child.

Obama will let millions of innocent babies die to protect his political backers. Babies will be left to die even after surviving the death procedure he supports.

Obama will crush you and your employer with taxes. And if it's only the "rich", they your employer will be forced to say goodbye to you.

Obama will lull a nation to sleep with eloquent speech and subtle half-truths.

But it's not all Obama's fault. We're in this, too. We have been a nation of imagineers, imagining there is no reality and no truth, no risk and no consequences to reckless behavior. Well, now it's all caught up with us, financially, policitally, and morally. Will you choose the imagineer who imagines away your financial and personal freedoms?

Or will you choose someone who dares to tell you the the truth about personal responsibility? He might not be eloquent or impressive; but the one who had the will to survive five years of torture will give you his leadership to defend your freedom and give you hope that is real, not imagined.

Sarah Palin is the real traitor to America.

Sarah Palin gushes over her blessing by Pastor Muthee, a "witch hunter" who has terrorized old women in Kenya and driven them out of their homes. Who is the real terrorist?

Sarah Palin is also a part of the Dominionist movement; a group that has the goal of taking over the U.S. political system. (Note to Palin/McCain supporters: You will be expected to convert to her brand of "Christianity." Dissent is will not be tolerated.)

Then we have her husband (and head of her family), Todd, who has been part of the traitorist Alaska Secessionist party:

Perhaps the McCain/Palin advisors should be more careful about the accusations they fling around.

Can McCain come up with

Anything else?? This is ridiculous and how in the heck does he expect to buy bad mortgages back after this bailout - HELLO - WHAT WAS THE BAILOUT FOR????????????????

McCain

It is a sin and a shame. McCain is a war hero. His past involvement in corruption should have made him a better person. But I guess he is like OJ. He got off once, he didn't learn his lesson either.

To "(Counterfeit )Conservative not NeoCon"

If Voglers inspiration to fix what is broken came from the Founding Fathers - the state of things today puts his frustration in perspective.Furthermore it is hypocritical of you to condemn an individual building a consensus to secceed from a dysfunctional system while you condone Anarchists like William Ayers who want to destroy people ,goverment & property.What master do you serve?

JOHN MCCAIN

I THINK HE IS GOING TO LOSE WE NEED SOMEBODY IN THE WHITE HOUSE WHO'S KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING JUST BECAUSE JOHN MCCAIN BEEN IN THERE DAT DON'T MEAN HE KNOW WHAT HE OS DOING OBAMA HAVEN'T BEEN IN THERE AND HE KNOW MORE THAN MCCAIN DOES SO DAT'S WHY I THINK HE'S GOING TO LOSE AND I THINK MCCAIN NEEDS TO STOP BEATIN OVER THE BRUSH AND SAY HE DON'T WON'T A BLACK MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE BECAUSE EVERYBODY KNOW BUT WE JUST WON'T HIM TO BE A MAN AND SAY IT AND HE'S BREAKING A LAW U SHALL NOT BE RACAIL

Mccain is over

It sure takes allot of slander and smear tactics for each of you to say something bad about Obama it just let's me know nothing has change for this country, you all would say anything just to put anybody in office just as long it is not a man of color so sad so bad but just you wait their is going to come a change. If any of you all would take the time to look up all the stuff you call your self believing you would see that this man was a boy the age of 8 when it came to the terrorist so call meeting If you can tell everyone what you all were doing then and justify it then let us all here, and if not don't slander others if you don't think your past can come back and be thrown and seen in another way when it is not that at all then so be it. You all are true mccain people you should be on his commercial nothing but slander talk nothing about the what is needed to be done NONE of his commercial all is this what we should expect NOTHING but talk. Please get a life people you do not control everyone’s opinion.

Inciting to Riot

Monday the 6th McCain in New Mexico incites a partisan to yell that Obama is a terrorist.

Monday the 6th Palin in Florida incites a partisan to yell "KILL HIM."

> > Worse, Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."

Palin's Obama Attack Backfires with a Vengence

McCain and Palins hypocrisy and transparent attempt at smearing will focus back onto them. Obama was 8 years old when Ayers and his wife where charged but never convicted. His anti-war philosophy, although very radical at the time was unpopular but he was not involved in blowing up toilets in federal buildings himself. Ayers was voted as Chicago’s citizen of the year for his work on teaching school children peace and funding raising for impoverish communities in need of school supplies. I think it’s safe to say if he is a terrorist in this day and age, he’d be in Guantanamo right now.

However, the Palins have no excuse. I’m sure they wouldn’t like voters seeing video of Todd Palin’s mentor and peer member Joe Vogler founder of AIP and Governor Palin’s warm welcome to the AIP into her Governorship in her own words captured on news archives along with Vogler in his own words here.

"The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government," Vogler said in the interview, in which he talked extensively about his desire for Alaskan secession, the key goal of the AIP.

"And I won't be buried under their damn flag," Vogler continued in the interview, which also touched on his disappointment with the American judicial system. "I'll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home."-Joe Vogler.
