If a black, conservative Republican were on the ticket, I would love to see what the libs and their buddies in the media would be saying about race!
Oh yes, I was a white guy raised on the south side of Chicago when there was no crime, no gangs, no public school kids getting murdered. What a difference a few goody-two-shoe white liberals and a community organizer can make!

JOHN McCAIN'S DELIRILOUS ATTACKS ON OBAMA CAN BE EXPLAINED.
McCAIN AND HIS GROUP ARE A BUNCH OF SINKING SWIMMERS.NORNALLY A DROWNING MAN HAS ONE CRITICAL CHOICE,TO STAY ALIVE BY GRAPPING WHATEVER HE CAN HOLD ON TO.McCAIN SEES THE ATTACKS AS A VERY STRONG LIFE LINE,WITHOUT WHICH THEIR FATE COULD BE FORETOLD WITH A HIGHER DEGREE OF CERTAINTY.IS A NATURAL INSTINCT. ACTUALLY McCAIN'S CAMPAIGN DRIFTED INTO A CRAMP-PAIN,AND FEW CHANGES WERE MADE IN ORDER TO GET A PAIN KILLER.THE ONLY PAIN
LESSENING AND STRAIGHTEN REMEDY AVAILABLE WAS THE ATTACKS,NOT THE ISSUES THAT MATTERED MOST.ONLY FEW SHALLOW MINDED PEOPLE WILL FALL INTO McCAIN'S MANIPULATION CAULDRON.
McCAIN'S GROUP FROM THE ATTACKS ARE BASICALLY SAYING," SINCE WE CANNOT GET HIM IN ANYWAY,JUST THROW THE SH--T ON HIS FACE ,S HE CAN SMELL".THE BOOMERANG HERE IS THAT,THE ATTACKS HAVE BECAME A PERSONALITY MEASURING METER.CLEARLY THE ATTACKS SHOW THE PERSONALITIES OF ALL INVOLVED.IT SHOWS HOW LOW THE GROUP CAN CONDESCEND TO SHIFT A MEASURING SCALE ON WHICH THEY ARE NOT WEIGHING MUCH.
THE "X" FACTORS IN JOHN McCAIN'S BARGAINING BASKET SHOULD INVOKE CRITIAL APPRAISALS ON HIS BID FOR THE HIGHEST POST IN THE MOST FREE AND CIVILIZED WORLD.JOHNNY IS KNOWN TO BE IMPULSIVE,HOTHEADED AND HOT TEMPERED.THESE INGREDIENTS ARE VERY
UNSTABLE AND CAN CATALYZE ANY SITUATION INTO A CHAOTIC ONE.WE HAVE LOST MANY CHERISHED YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN ALREADY.THE PAINS CANNOT BE SIMPLY BLANKETED WITH THE LOVE OF COUNTRY.YES THE PAIN COULD BE TAKEN IN JUSTIFIED SITUATIONS,NOT WITH A WASTEFUL
AND SENSELESS WAR.A WAR WE WERE MANIPULATED INTO."ENOUGH IS ENOUGH".SINCERELY, I AM SORE AFRAID JOHNNY COULD DRAG US INTO ANOTHER ONE.OUR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN HAVE FULL RIGHT TO LIVE OUT THEIR LIVES.WE CANNOT AFFORD TO WASTE THEM ANYMORE.
THE POST OF A USA PRESIDENT IS NOT A PICNIC CAMP.
CAN JOHNNY AT HIS AGE WITH STAND THE RIGORS AND THE STRESS OF THE OFFICE? I HOPE McCAIN WILL RUN A CAMPAIGN ON THE ISSUES THAT MATTER MOST TO AMERICANS.THE ATTACKES ARE MANIPULATIVE AND UNDER RATES PEOPLE'S INTELLIGENCE

Perhaps I stand alone. I see a humorous paradigm. The fact remains Paris, Britney, and Lindsey have all given us a window in which everything they do is presented as news. As they preformed for the cameras, they are the medias little darlings. Just as the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party. The last President to have such attention from the news media, they looked the other way. Just as members of his Secret Service staff did. At least the Senator from Illinois, has kept his pants on. And as far as we know is wearing his undergarments.

Focus on the people behind the negative strategy, the new McCain campaign. Use their strength (the negative campaign) against them, repeatedly.
1. The takeover is now complete. The McCain campaign is now run by the Schmidt/ Rove/ Cheney/ Neocon/ Haliburton/ Swiftboat/ Smear apparatus. The same team that gave us Bush, the same dirty politics, the same distractions, the same disaster awaiting the country and economy, is now in controlling the McCain campaign.
2. They know how to win Presidential campaigns. And when let loose in the Whitehouse in just 8 short years – they will also run the economy into the ground, lose 50,000 jobs per month to China and India, send billions a month in US wealth to middle east oil despots who stoke terrorism, lose prime US assets to our enemies, lead us into record national debt, the subprime crisis, Enron and more.
3. They must think we are stupid. Will we vote against Rove, Cheney and the neocons and show them that you can’t fool all the people all the time. Will we tell McCain it is sad that he is embracing the same dirty politics and desperate Bush strategist that smeared McCain, his family and his adopted Bangladeshi daughter Bridget in 2000.

Let me understand, it is better to have a member of the Keating Five (which cost the taxpayers 3.4 BILLION dollars when Charles Keating's Lincoln Savings & Loan failed) McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating after Keating gave McCain at least $112,00 in contributions. In the mid-1980s, McCain made at least 9 trips on Keating's airplanes, and 3 of those were to Keating's luxurious retreat in the Bahamas. McCain's wife and father-in-law also were the largest investors (at $350,000) in a Keating shopping center; the Phoenix New Times called it a "sweetheart deal."
I'm not even going to get into his lying about his religion for political reasons, his adultery, his second marriage to a drug addict who steals drugs (as most drug addicts DO) - but i SHALL end with this quote from a gentleman who worked closely with Senator McCain for 35 years:
"The thought of [McCain] being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me." -- Senator Thad Cochran of Mississippi

After many years of demonizing President Bush in preparation for this election, the Democratic Party in concert with the liberal media, first cast Obama as a "Rising Star", then transformed his character into "Super Star Obama", followed by the most recent world tour of "Barack the Obamessiah". I swear, I can't tell where movie ends and the campaign begins.
After being subjected to the - Obama dog and phony show for so long, I've memorized his script and am now able to speak his words in unison. As a snake oil salesman he ranks high. As an acceptable candidate for the Presidency of the United States of America, he falls seriously short.
I'm not sure that "flip-flopper" or "waffler" clearly defines Obama. Personally, I consider him to be a slithering narcissist.
One of the most telling traits of narcissists is to contradict themselves, most often in the same breath and same sentence. When asked which one they meant, they'll deny what they originally said by implying that you misunderstood or that they never said it in the first place.
When confronted with a "flip-flop", Obama slithers around his original statement to "clarify" what he "meant". Then he slithers around his most recently stated position, cleverly linking it to the original position. In other words, he contradicts facts by slithering around the truth to convince you that he never changed positions at all. Obama has done this time and time again. How many times have you heard his defense begin with..."I have always said", or "I have said consistently", or "the people who say this obviously have not been listening to me", or "let me be as clear as I can be"... etc.? These are the words of a narcissist. Search on Google or You Tube for "Obama lies", "Obama flip flops", etc.(use your imagination), then listen carefully to what he says and do your own research (these things are easily fact-checked). Sadly, the main stream media continues to enable Obama by consistently granting him "do-overs" on his positions.
Socialism is in the wind and the smell of it has the Democratic Party in an orgasmic frenzy. Barack Hussein Obama is nothing but a suit stuffed with a lifetime of associations with militants, socialists, communists, Marxists, etc. (again, these things are easily fact-checked).
His childhood mentor was Frank Marshall Davis, a communist. In his books, Obama admits attending "socialist conferences" and choosing Marxist professors as his "friends". He has been groomed all of his life for this moment and only you can stop him. Be informed, take time to research, ask questions and seek the truth. If you choose not to, then you have everything to lose!
The beginning of wisdom is found in doubting; by doubting we come to the question, and by seeking we may come upon the truth. - Pierre Abelard

McCain is doing a great job of making sure the world is seeing Obama for what he is. Hope, Courage, Change, soak the rich, big bad industry (oil companies). The reality is that Obam has no direction and no definite plans. For instance he says lets skip off shore drilling because it will take years to lower energy prices. So does he think they can build our renewables in less time. They need both renewable and drilling.
But here is the reality; Obama will tax and redistribute wealth, he is for union organization even though he knows it will hurt the U.S.
He is for higher energy prices, telling us how to live our lives and making sure big government is in control.
How can people be for that.... Oh yah the left is use to hand outs and not earning anything but being given it so I guess Obama intends to join with Pelosi and Reid (doesn't he always look like he's drinking) and just give it away because that will buy them votes.

John McCain is confused, showing signs of early dementia and is just reading talking points from corrupt Republicans. Another four years of Bush would totally destroy our country and this is what the American people would get with McCain. For the sake of our country, we must make sure that Barack Obama is elected President.

Judging from the trumped up outrage and indignation of Obama and his bloggers, over Senator McCain's Moses comparison ... I'd say that Senator McCain struck a nerve. It also shows that Obama is a pompous narcissist, who takes himself way too serious, and has no sense of humor. Besides, when someone walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck ... they shouldn't flip out when someone calls them a duck ... and, in this case of self Idolatry, and virtual worship by his followers, Obama puts Huey, Dooey, and Louie to shame.

This week the McCain campaign has seemingly switched gears. At first I was shocked, but not anymore. The Celebrity ad, the Messiah ad, and calling Obama out on the race card were great moves. It shouldn’t be considered negative to show your opponent how you see them. All of those topics and how they were presented is how a large portion of the population sees him. If Obama, or his supporters have a problem with the content, then they might want to look at Obama’s message and his campaign tactics.
