“Words” : New Web Ad Goes After Obama’s Empty Promises
By SusanUnPC on June 24, 2008 at 10:31 AM in Barack Obama, David Axelrod, Delegates, Deval Patrick, Hoodwinking, John McCain, Qualifications
Larry Johnson says Obama’s supporters are getting painful whiplash — because Obama changes positions so often.
And I’ll add: Does this guy have a single original thought that doesn’t come off a teleprompter?
This effective ad from John McCain’s campaign hits warns voters that his pretty speeches are meaningless because they do not translate into 1) solid positions or 2) policy that actually will be pursued, let alone enacted.
What this ad omits is that even Obama’s seemingly effective phrases — “Don’t tell me words don’t matter” and “words, just words” — were the recycled creation of his campaign strategist David Axelrod who gave the SAME phrase to another candidate he was employed by in 2006, the now rather unpopular Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick. Heck, even Obama surrogates like Sen. Bill Bradley mimed the same words on TV news shows. (SEE the video below the compares the two “Axelrod mix-and-match candidates” speaking).
Caveat: We are not at the moment endorsing John McCain, and are focused on trusting Democratic delegates will realize, before August, that Hillary Clinton is a far stronger candidate. Many NoQuarter writers and readers admire Sen. McCain, and will vote for him if Obama is the nominee, and we welcome the free and frequent expression of that viewpoint. After August, we will assess this blog’s official position.
But Democratic delegates to the national convention had better know this: Hundreds of thousands of Hillary Clinton supporters will NEVER vote for Barack Obama. And a great many will vote for John McCain simply because they believe he is qualified to be president, and that Barack Obama is NOT qualified or experienced enough — and we’re worried sick about such a teleprompter-dependent neophyte being handed the toughest job in the world.
Below is the ad’s transcript, along with excellent supporting materials, as well as that YouTube that proves Obama was fed even the simplest lines by his marketing guru:
Ladies and gentlemen, meet David Axelrod’s latest marketing products and promotion strategies:
From my story, “Just Words, But Whose Words?“:
On the left: Deval Patrick, ultimately successful Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate, responding to then-Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey in October 2006.
On the right: Barack Obama, speaking Saturday night at the Wisconsin Democratic party dinner following Hillary Clinton. Obama got great applause, although his enthused supporters had no clue he was just reviving a well-honed line not only NOT created by Obama but by another campaign, all engineered by guess who:
What do the 2006 and 2008 mimickers share in their quest to overcome their lack of substance with lofty rhetoric? The man who has the fix for just that kind of problem: “Since last year, observers have been noting that rhetorical similarities between the two candidates with vaguely similar biographies and campaign pitches — who also share political guru David Axelrod,” writes Jake Tapper in today’s ABC News Political Punch. That’s right, it’s David Axelrod, Obama’s campaign manager who in 2006 was Deval’s manager.
– Check out more NoQuarter stories on Axelrod feeding his clients the same lines — with more videos — here.
SEE ALSO: My story yesterday — “Father Pfleger, Obama’s Longtime Confidante and Adviser, Is Back at St. Sabina” — that proves that Obama’s chief strategist David Axelrod, who created those words, is also listed as a member of the parish fundraising committee for the extremist radical priest, a devotee of Minister Louis Farrakhan, along with other politicians of, shall we say, dubious character.
The point: David Axelrod runs with a disturbing, ethically challenged crowd in Chicago linked directly to racist, radical extremists.
The second point: Barack Obama runs with the same racist, radical crowd.

Our average donation is $96, and we’ve done an amazing job, I think, mobilizing people to finance our campaigns in small increments.

All Barack Obama’s statements come with an expiration date.
Heh… I will vote for Obama…( just words )
why are you here?
The statement is facetious.
I got that, and thought it was funny - so glad I wasn’t drinking anything when I read it!
SUSAN - great work on this piece! Wow. We can only hope that the McCain people will start running that YouTube piece in which Patrick and Obama are juxtaposed - that is SO telling. Since the ones who support him claim it is all abt how he talks and his Hope/Change thing, maybe, just MAYBE, they will see he is but a duplicate of Patrick (to paraphras Clinton, “a copier we can believe in”).
Well done!!
I got it… I will also vote for O’boy. just words
aaah DUH! god I feel retarted now.
No. You feel hoodwinked! Bamboozled and okey dokeyed!
run amok!
“There is an 80% chance that I will tell my friends I am voting for Obama and vote instead for John McCain.”
Tina Fey
When did she say this? Last season of 30 Rock?
I love Tina Fey.
She Knows a Real Pig when he snorts.
The most glaring dangerous flip flop Obama has made is in regard to Iraq. Those poor Obamabots who are afraid of the draft and think Obama will bring the troops home.
If you will recall. At a debate Obama was asked about getting troops out of Iraq. He said that he would have all troops out by 16 months. Then he was asked what if Alqueda set up a base in Iraq.
Obama’s answer..We will go back into Iraq.
That means that Obama is not anti-war but just stupid.
McCain made the observation that Alqueda is already in Iraq and that it would be foolish and irresponsible to put our troops in harms way by getting out of Iraq and then retaking Iraq.
Obama and his minions are just stupid!
Hillary Clinton made the same statement. Both of them are first class panderers.
He changes his mind, depending on who he is speaking to…. So what does he say that we can beleive? In my opinion, nothing..
http://nocache.homestead.com/nativeamericansagainstobama/index.html
the very first thing i heard obama say was he would start bringing troops home on “day one” after being elected. that was when i thought this guy has no idea what he is talking about. this was early in the year. up until that time i thought we had some good candidates to choose from. obviously after that statement i flip-flopped.
Phx, take heart. He changed his mind. Again.
McCain violated the very campaign finance laws he helped write - why would Obama trust him to deal in good faith? Until 527s are outlawed, public financing is a sham.
That is what MY MAMMA told me is a COP OUT. He didn’t go for public financing because he wouldn’t have to follow campaign finance reform….In other words, he wants to be able to get money for anyone anyhow. Is he suggesting that there are no 527’s on McCain?
That argument is weak at best, because McCain could say the same thing and it would be equally true.
Your Mama was right. This is classic “neener, neener, I’m smoking crack because Tommy is” blaming someone else instead of taking responsibility. Obama said he believed in publicly funded elections to get the corruption out. Seems he just doesn’t have the strength of his convictions. Whaaah! That big old bad McCain won’t let me do the right thing.
If McCain hadn’t alienated his base he would have been raising enough money that this wouldn’t have been an issue. Too many times we act like it’s a bad thing to change your mind based on new data. I don’t want inflexibility in my President. People are just angry that McCain is about to be Hilliaried by Obama.
527s like MoveOn need to be eliminated, along with special interests money like unions as well.
Or do you just mean 527’s that you don’t like?
MoveOn disbanded its 527 last week. You may have seen it in the news.
Next Strawman?
It is a shell game. They are still a PAC.
Strawman, my ass. You can’t possibly be this naive.
So what’s the new name of the 527?
Obama dealing in good faith–that’s a knee slapper.
Broke the law did he?
Give me a break. Why this sudden realization that the system is broken, when he had previously lauded it?
He is a liar.
Then you and your candidate have some ’splainin’ to do considering Democratic 527s have outspent Republican 527s in this race 2 to 1 already. Oh an you both need to denounce Moveon.org.
527s is just one more of Barky’s bullshit excuses that hold as much water as he does, and we both know it.
I wonder how many of the morons voting for Obama, voted for Bush the first go around. LOL. THAT would be an interesting poll.
Most of them were probably in grade school when Bush won the first time around.
LOL … sad and true …. they think that the General Election is a becaucus …
Darryl..
That’s exactly what I’ve been wondering.
How many Obamabots were for Bush in 2000 when the main criteria for a great president was who would be best to have a beer with.
I know of some in my circle of acquaintances. They have been on the wrong side of politics for a long time though. 2 of my friends, who are gay, voted for Jesse Helms and have continued to vote against their own interests ever since. One of them voted Kerry in 2004, both voted Bush in 2000.
Hillary or McCain !!!!!!
Gays for Jessie Helms–Wow!
just because people are gay does not mean they are single issue voters. as a gay voter i never vote for a candidate because they are gay or lesbian, i vote on what they have done and promise to do. now i have a lesbian district representative who went out to endorse obama, you can definitely believe i am voting (and working for) her republican opposition
now voting for helms i do not understand though, but i am sure your friends had their reasons.
Maybe they’re still for Bush; they’re just trying to make sure he doesn’t go down in history as the worst president ever.
I have been thinking about this too because it feels like the same blindness leading them.
I aree, a level of mediocrity that tops out when it’s predictable tactics can’t get others to co opt, and has to offer original, critical thinking, indicative of high intellectual functioning problem solving skill sets.
Not in THAT room, I mean, look at the trolls, here, they SUCK.
To me it wasnt a very effective campaign ad.
the GOP needs to thread lightly right now, they want to say just enough but not to much. it does them no good not to get him to be the dem nominee.
The rnc has enough sense to leave the big stuff to the 527s, unlike the dnc, which has lost its mind anyhow.
I sympathize with the blogger (who wouldn’t?) but she’s still dealing with symptoms. The problem is takeover of the Dems by the extreme left, unconstitutional spending programs, refusal of government to stay within its enumerated powers, tenth amendment treated as nugatory, and so on…
Nugatory is an excellent word! You must have killed on your verbal SATS.
It’s been done before and each time, the party ends up marginized until a moderate comes to its rescue. They get this far and this is as far as they get. Nobody wants their country to be run by a bunch of radical socialists with the sense of barn animals. The problem is, they couldn’t make it in their fringe socialist and communist parties and so they have been desperately trying to take over since the last 60s. These crackpots are the reason we have only elected 2 presidents in 40 years. Soon to be 44.
Lazy Axelrod- Obama should throw him under the bus..
And heh- yeah, Harp, I’ll vote for Obama too..just words..hee, hee, But I WILL change my mind a minute from now…I’m a believer in honesty..so
NOBAMA!!
I can no longer be a registered Democrat after this whole Hussein Obama hijacking of the party. Long before these smarmy POS posters at Dailykooks were crapping in their diapers I was pounding the pavement for Dukakis in California. Sadly, for the first time since 1988 I am no longer a democrat…I think I need to take a shower now.
It wasn’t taken over by Obama, it was taken over by Dean and the party elite in D.C.
Obama is just the figurehead for the corrupt pieces of shit that control the Democratic party.
Well said.
I’ve been an Independent since the Monday after the RBC meeting.
It’s quite free’ing, actually. Easier to hop-skip through the personal attacks and seek out issues and qualifications instead of allowing anyone to falsely call me a racist.
People like me are why the DNC can’t pay its bills anymore.
Choices have consequences, eh?

hey i like that

One of the creepiest parts of Barky’s campaign has been his spewing of recycled, boilerplate, market-tested catch phrases. People’s skin should crawl over this issue, and I sincerely hope that McCain and the 527s find a way to make that happen.
Yes, I am the flip flop man, the flip flop man, the flip flop man. He must have gotten lessons from Kerry. Losssssserrrrr.
Wow! Rock em’ sock em’ Ad! Right on the nose!
(snicker)
I appreciate the clarification in regard to McCain, I cannot, and will not, ever endorse him, he is not, in any way, strategically different from Obama, and I refuse to reward a republican system that insists on a one party rule.
Period.
strategically different from Obama?
A little fogy today?
NO.
The same money people support them both, what will change?
Logic beyond your wannabe mind?
Idiot.
I apologize for calling you a fucking idiot, but the problems we see with Obama, and McCain, will be repeated until we step up to change the system, and eradicate the trolls, once and for all.
WTF would I co opt the republicans, who helped engineer the nomination away from Clinton?
Did you miss that?
Read the archives, here.
Wow.
The Democrats led by Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Donna Brazille had no problem committing voter fraud and fixing the Democratic primaries… with no help from the Republicans. There were corrupt agents on both sides who were most concerned with sabotaging Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. The Democratic party will find their version of the neoconservative infestation that killed the Republicans eight years ago, if they nominate Barack Obama in August and worse if he somehow wins. Democrats should be committed to a landslide victory for McCain.
Susan and Larry:
Even if NQ doesn’t support McCain after the Democratic Convention, PLEASE don’t let it turn pro-Obama.
There are so few places that are willing to look at Obama critically. We need you to stay on this course.
just look at Taylor Marsh, she said she could not support Obama and would use her site to against McCain. she claimed she supports the democratic principal. I just wonder how she felt when the “democratic principal” was thrown out the window last week with FISA. her site went pro-obama before Hillary’s speech. ughhh!
Yeah, I was going to ask what current democratic principle is she talking about–rigging elections, playing the race card, using rampant sexism?
This crap should scare you really. It is a testimony that someone behind the scenes is making deals with people they cannot refuse. That is really scary.
Do You remember when she had a long post about Obama being a con and being about ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT…what happened between then and now? Obama is still the same person he was 3 months ago..whaaaaaaaaat?
Well, I love the latest Obama Flop. Where he attacked Hillary for her Windfall profits tax for the Oil companies and deduct the tax from gas for the summer, Obama said ‘OH NO, that won’t work, (condescendingly) it will only save people about 30 bucks (actually avg around 70.00-which means the world to many), the Oil companies will just raise the prices to cover that Windfall Tax.’ AND NOW OBAMA IS ADVOCATING ANOTHER HILLARY POSITION THAT HE ATTACKED HER ON.
HELLLOOOO????????
One thing I would change in the post. If we take the smallest of poll results that said they would definitely not vote for Obama and STILL cut that in half, that is still MILLIONS of voters that will no way vote for Obama. MILLIONS of voters make an election. OOPPPS, LOOK LIKE B O will just have to Get Over It, when he loses.
Exactly!! When I saw this in my paper today, that was my IMMEDIATE response - ANOTHER Clinton policy on which he treated her like CRAP, then steals for his own. He is such a passive/aagressive BULLYING coward this guy!
WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?
Don’t forget Obama is registering Felons now who are largely AA’s. Addd that to his dead people vote and pet registering as well as pre-teen vote who donate their baby sitting money and you have another disaster waiting to deflate us. Please don’t sit this out. Please don’t throw your vote at and third Party candidate. Yes we want Hillary and are prepared to revamp in August..so seriously consider McCain to stop this Obama Thug. It’s more than sexism. The safety of our country is at stake.
We miss the Hillaryisms and want her, but we need to defeat Obama no matter what.
We need to defeat the corruption in government NOW!
Also, we need to defeat Pelosi this November.
Cindy Sheehan (not a big fan of but)needs grassroots help getting signatures for the 8th district in San franciso.
She needs 10,000 by August to get on the ballot and she has a lttle over 3,000 now. Please contact her if you are in the area and can help registering votes. Defeat Pelosi, Kerry, et al this November..
Make it sweet!
He’s doing it and will continue doing it until the MSM calls him on it, which will be never.
That’s why he turned down public campaign funding. He needs to pay off the media.
So that’s how he’s doing it.
Are you kidding? He trashed Hillary on that. He said she was pandering. What’s it called when he does it?
He’s a vote hooker. He will say anything. He will even make believe he gives a rat’s ass about women. I don’t trust him as far as I can throw a baby elephant. I don’t trust him with my country. I don’t trust him with my life. And I REALLY don’t trust him with my rights as a woman.
I worked for and donated to Hillary Clinton. I wanted, with all my heart and intelligence for her to be the nominee of the Democratic party and to be the 44th President of the United States. But she lost. Not fairly, not without the help of a biased media and a biased Democratic leadership, but she lost. I am sick and tired of all those so called Clintonites who now say that they will vote for McCain in November. Do you want 4 more years of Bush-Republican ruin for our staggering country? Do you really want to be the deliverer of the final blow, the knock out punch to the wounded champion ,the best chance on earth so far to get it right for humanity? IF you believe that you are honoring Hillary Clinton by voting for McCain, you are delusional and in my opinion, have never heard nor understood her message and wishes for this ship of state to course with strength, dignity, and honor once again. While I am no fan of Obama’s and have resigned from the only party I ever joined, I WILL NOT CUT MY OWN NOSE OFF TO SPITE MY OWN FACE! I have only advocated for Americans to vote , it has been our (small)duty to democracy, but I say with heavy heart: DO NOT VOTE AT ALL if you are voting in protest for McCain. That is protest by suicide bombing. If you cast a vote for McCain, you are giving approval for all of the last 7 1/2 years of Republican rule and then I ask you: What was it about Hillary Clinton that you loved? It would appear nothing.
A vote for Obama is a vote to reward sexism.
Hillary 2012 - it can only happen if Obama loses.
no i don’t agree with that. god forbid he does get in, how long do you think he will stay? it will probably be another Carter presidency.
What is seriously McCain going to accomplish with a Democratic congress?
Are you more worried about McCain or a Democratic Congress that can’t even keep Bush and his 25% approval rating in check?
Real Hillary supporters don’t use ‘clintonites’ like words- only obambots and republicans use those right wing talking points- phony Hillary supporter you.
EXCELLENT POINT. you called his bluff. Good Job!
bullcr*p. You must be plain ignorant. Think for a minute about the twisted thought pattern you have developed. I say DON”T VOTE for the republican and YOU, who want to throw away your vote on McCain- a repub idiot- call me a republican right winger with talking points. The only point YOU two make is pointing out what blind fools you be. Your points are the shape of your heads.
Obama has coopted Republican talking points, so we recognize bias when we hear it. “Socialized medicine,” “high negatives,” “deadenders,” and other predictable rightwing sexist attacks were used by Obama throughout the primaries. Many of his supporters had no idea they sounded exactly like Republicans; they would identify themselves as Independents or Democrats, though.
IF the DNC cuts off THEIR nose to spite their face, WE WILL be voting for McCain. They do not get to choose our candidate for us. We chose who we wanted, SHE won the most popular votes and Pledged Delegates and the DNC made sure they didn’t count. You CANNOT let the DNC and the DC elites get away with stealing this nomination from Hillary and not make them know they made a HUGE mistake.
NONE OF US will stay home in November. THAT would just ensure an Obama win. We will not let that happen.
The issue is, Obama is just too dangerous, incompetent, a liar and a racist, who is corrupting the party beyond repair.
Are you saying that Hillary Clinton would like us to just stay home on election day, instead of voting for candidates we “can believe in”?
I can’t see her advocating for voters to stay home.
unfortunately the clintons have a loyalty to the Democratic Party, why I just can not understand. This would be the perfect time for both of them to step up and start that new party. Those 2 people have the power to create a Centrist Party, one that shares the good points of both the dems and repubs.
I do agree with that. The Clinton’s have the power to take the DLC and the centrist members of the party, and combine it with Independents and Centrist Republicans.
Let the far far Left Pelosi, Dean, Brazier, and Kerry Dems wallow in their stupidity and irrelevance
Do you want a dictator? go to http://www.savagepolitics.com and watch the Gaddaffi video. Gaddaffi met with Wright and Farrakhan a few times and has been funneling money into Obama’s campaign. Gaddaffi even says Obama will be dictator and hopes he wins.
WAKE THE HELL UP.
This is not like other elections where you get to feel sad because your candidate didn’t win. This is a crucial election that can spell the end of America.
Country before party
Dems for McCain if not Hillary!
If you cast a vote for McCain, you are giving approval for all of the last 7 1/2 years of Republican rule
No I am not. I am voting for McCain. How I got to this point rest squarely with BO and the DuNCe.
As for “Republican rule” the ground rules are the same for either party and guess what? They both Suck. That said I don’t have to agree with the candidates positions to vote for them. I do have to have respect for them and their Character.
BO the “man-child” is not, by my vote, going to be “present”. That is not an option for POTUS.
If you don’t want another Bush in the White House, you best not be voting for Obama because they are much more alike than McCain and Bush. You think Obama cares one whit about this country? Obama cares about Obama, period.
Yep.
Anyone who stays home, writes in a name or votes for Nader is casting a vote for Obama. The only way to avoid an Obama presidency is to vote for John McCain. John McCain is a trusted hero who loves this country, proud of America and proud to be american. He is more to the center of the right and is a good strong leader.
WE WILL REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER
McCain ‘08 (no matter who the dem VP is)
“the 4 more years” is a Dem/BHO talking point that has become irrelevant. McCain is left republican while Hillary was right democrat,both considered centrists. while McCain might not be Hillary and everything she stood for, he is unfortunately the best choice we have. we know McCain, he has served his country proudly all his adult life and he is someone we can trust to protect our country. Without Hillary he is the only qualified choice.
moveon 527 is already shut down!!
I believe that was a phony move. It’s not been active since 2005 I read.
Then who put out that tacky ad with the mother and the boy telling McCain “You can’t have him?”
That was from MoveOn.org.
Yeah, I trust them as much as I do Obama.
I feel that we in Michigan owe Senator Obama a big “thank you” for taking his name off of our primary ballot.
Had he kept his name on the ballot, there may very well have been a large number of people suckered into voting for him. People, of course, who would now be ashamed of their vote.
Sooooo……without further ado……Thank you so very much, you charlatan! Thank you for not peddling your snake oil in our state. We don’t have the “buyers remorse” that you engendered in so many early primary voters.
We are so very grateful.
Now. Please take your name off of the GE ballot, and disenfranchise everybody else. That would certainly be “change we can believe in”, instead of “just words”.
May I ask?…how big of a backlash is there against BO in Michigan for stealing Hillary’s Delegates and seating the Delegates with 1/2 a vote? Are people in Michigan as pissed off as they should be or are they just going on about there lives as if there’s nothing they can do about it? Is ANYONE in Michigan trying to right this wrong?
As far as I can gauge, the mood is dour. As for anyone trying to do something, that is a resounding “Yes”.
Personally, I’m new here, and not as computer savvy as I’d like, or I’d link to some sites for you.
cut and paste them..
As far as I can see the mood is very good - Obama leads McCain in all of the State polls. The good people of Michiga, for example Flint, being more worried about future job prospects than how the Democrats selected their candidate. Goodbye Repukes. Small issues no longer worry real Democrats - they are more concerned about how to get America back to work.
no backlash according to the most recent polling. as a matter of fact, most PUMA’s must be in hiding because they are not showing up in any of the polling.
According to Rassmussen Polls 18% of Hillary voters say they will vote for McCain. Another 7 percent say they will stay at home, rather than vote for Obama.
That is virtually the same since the Primaries, when 25% of Hillary supporters said they would not support Obama.
That’s an improvement for Obama over last week, then. Those figures were even higher.
He was up to losing 38% of the traditional Dem bloc, with the ratio being about the same.
I feel that the line “don’t tell me words don’t matter” could be used in a wide variety of anti-Obama ads from here on. A compendium of all of his “misstatements” accented by that declaration would prove most effective.
For all who are wondering why Obama is ahead in polls right now, don’t forget that the ads are just beginning and anti-McCain TV ads have been running nationally for some time now. I just wish that the playing field were more even financially between the two candidates.
Ahead by 6 with a 4 point error rate means essentially……dead even.
McCain’s figures yesterday were that he was winning 53% of the white vote. No doubt that is one reason why the race card was played. That’s an alarming trend for Obama.
He’s not going to win just with AA voters.
Looking at the state-by-state polls, I’d say McCain has a darn good shot at winning, in spite of Bush.
Latest SUSA/Oregon shows Obama leading by only 2 points.
Can you believe that? Oregon???
Guess they need to have another free concert in Oregon..
LMAO.
There is a large Repub population in Oregon.
It’s a swing state.
Very likely Oregon can go McCain.
Don’t forget that huge crowd at the water front was ‘out of staters’ coming in to be part of history and to see a free concert. They were Obama supporters from neighboring states. They skewed perception.
Likely the numbers were skewed too.
that area only fits 35k max
There are four colleges in Oregon, also, and school was in session.
But these same repubs are very prepared to vote Hillary. The participation will be much higher in the GE.
That’s what’s so sad–Hillary could have easily won the GE, but no, the DNC had to go with the incompetent boob.
yes, most of the states Obama got in the primary where republican state that will go republican in November. Hillary was the only chance we had of taking any republican states…those being Arkansas, florida, and tennessee.
I saw that and laughed. I knew Oregon wasn’t in the bag for him. Washington is. But not Oregon!
Check CO and Utah……McCain has a clear shot in both states.
And it can’t be mentioned often enough that Obama’s preposterous excuse for needing more money is that the Repub Attack Machine will drive up his own spending efforts to thwart it–like no one knew until last week about the GOP’s tactics! Well, let BO have all the dough he can raise, which has “stalled” according to one source–probably like a train plowing off the tracks–and McCain can hire a couple of junior-high geeks to splice together film of Barack, Michelle, Jeremiah, et al hanging themselves with their own rope [not a racist statement].
527’s operate independently of the candidates campaigns. They can receive unlimited funding. That was a stupid argument of Obama’s. He needs the money to pay off the media and that’s it. Hotels, parties, private jets, meals, favors and kickbacks.
McCain supports torture, at the VERY least, which weakens, the structural integrity of US government.
Do you think I’m a traitor to my government, do you think I would support people who act to harm it?
Am I so weak minded I have to go into denial, after the horror of the last 8 years?
My, oh my…
After all I have written here, I’d be a uncredible, weak minded fruity hypocrite to declare any other position.
lol.
Obama supports illegal wiretapping and telecom immunity.
He couldn’t LEAD a Cub Scout den.
How do you know Obama doesn’t support torture? Is there any position Obama has taken that we can be certain reflects his true beliefs? I am not willing to buy a pig in a poke, which is what I would be doing with Obama.
Everything you written here at least makes you a weak minded hypocrite.”Fruity” is not a word I would use.
McCain supports torture? BS.
Do you every feel that maybe Obama is leading in the polls due to JUST WORDS?
Maybe people are afraid to say who they’re voting for or they’re just using words and lying.
I would also like to know if anyone has actually met more that one person who is voting for Obama?
I only know one person in my office of 150 who is voting for Obama. Unless it’s just words.
same here …. i have about 200 people working in
my factory , i don’t know of one person that
support’s Obama..swear to God
Unfortunately two of my three college graduate adult children are Obamabots. As you can imagine, family gatherings have become intense. I asked my daughter why it doesn’t bother her that the DNC took Hillary’s delegates and gave them to Obama. Her answer says it all: “I don’t understand what you are talking about.”
The Democratic lemmings in my apartment complex are Obamazoids also. I ask them why they aren’t disturbed by Obama’s relationship with Tony Rezko. Answer: “Who is Tony Rezko?”
ritamary; Frustrating for me as well, when I hear this.
I have sent Obama supporters links and talked with them about it. Poor buggers are stuck in the twightlight zone. They Don’t like Bush and because of that..it becaomes “yea but” conversation. No need to inform oneself about who the candidates are. Just don’t like Bush. SO MCCain = Bad. BO = Good, or the lesser of two.
It like “right hand meet left hand”, the blind man said.
Who is Tony Rezko?
It is amazing what ends people will go to, to not accept the fact that the entire cookie is crumbling and choosing a less qualified or experienced candidate is the answer.
I had someone say to me, “How much more can BO screw it up?”.
I don’t want to find that out.
Obama is exactly the kind of guy I’d like to sit down and have a glass of Kool-Aid with.
LOL!
Too bad he got rid of the dumb seal. I loved all the possum jokes.
A “one time deal” ??? LOL surrrre. Okey Dokey.
Investors Business Daily 6/23/08 “Obama, McCain Priorities Differ, But Neither Will Balance Budget”…”The left leaning Tax Policy Center concludes: “Obama’s generosity comes at a price…He’d raise the national debt by a staggering $3.3 trillion over the next decade, and that includes more than $900 billion in promised revenue raising that TPC could not verify…”
Obama reminds me of former Gov. of NJ, James McGreevey. Young, slender, energetic, charasmatic, so confident in his ability to lead, we all enthusiastically jumped on the bandwagon…our state senator to become Governor of New Jersey. However,he was a dismal failure. Beholding to the political machine,his world was collapsing around him. What does he do? Comes out, resigns and states “I am a Gay American”
Awesome. Flineo out did himself. The best video yet!
Thank You!
SORO will fund Obama as will the far left to hundreds of millions of dollars. This will be a bought election if they can fool the majority. I sure hope the Republicans get more aggressive in letting the American People know what a fraud EMPTYSUIT IS.
A blackman who is a racist, bigoted and an elitest. Making over $500,000…..please.
If the Republicans have taught us anything, it is this:
You don’t need a majority of voters to win an election.
Looks like the Democrats learned that lesson well. Too bad they decided to apply that lesson to a primary run.
Republicans have been serving up weak sauce attacks. By pre-empting the race issue, did Obama neutralize it? Newsweek says Obama up by 15.
If you want credibility here, stop citing Newsweek polls.
Newsweek is like the People Magazine of news.
Just trust RCP averages if you want to do poll stories. None of the pollsters are remotely close to accurate anyway. An average makes sense.
The average right now is Obama ahead by 6 points with an error rate of 4. That means they are neck-and-neck.
That’s about right, realistically speaking, for this time in the campaign.
They are just getting started.
Newsweek is owned by GE, same as MSNBC, right?
Republicans are treading lightly as they court the disaffected Democrats and Independents. McCain was the first to say Wright would not be an issue. Obama played the race card for a bump in the polls. It will all change after the conventions when the noms have been decided.
Hillary or McCain!
Your choice Obamabots!
Pack up your homophobia and take it to a Republican website, eleana.
Ditto!
Denise, unfortunately I know dozens of people who are not only planning to vote Obama some of them are working on his campaign.
dear randemp…
PLEASE GO FUCK YOURSELF. THAT IS, AFTER OBAMA FUCKS YOU.WHICH HE ALREADY HAS!
LOVE,
FORMER DEM FOR McCAIN
P.S. EAT MY SHIT IN NOV!
Who is randemp?

I had that sneaking suspicion randemp was not one of the good guys; phil’s restrained response gave me a hint.
To all the OBAMAHOLICS that keep coming this site, I here there is help out there.

You’re kidding, right?
Sorry, Susan, and Larry, I respect that this is your blog, and I am not here to insult your posters, as a matter of course.
POW!
Dear Larry and Susan,
After all we know. After all we don’t know.
If the NQ supports Obama after the convention…I’ll….I’ll….I’ll….drink spiked Kook Aid myself.
I’ll be speechless!
Wouldn’t it be fun if it were neither? And we could actually discuss issues?
I think we’ll be ready by then to kick a real football around rather than just repeat how much we hate whomever.
Take FISA, for example.
We haven’t even talked about it.
I agree with you on this Anninca - where your Government goes on oppressive anti terrorist laws, the UK blindly follows. The 100 Dems who voted with the Republicans on this should be held to account. Hopefully your Supreme Court has some guts and rules it out. Allowing the precedent of retrospective legislation is bad in so many ways
SCOTUS will have some guts if McCain has any say in the matter. He favors strict constructionist appointments.
Do you people seriously think this blog will become Pro-Obama after August?
That’s a scary thought! (But I doubt it.)
Ugh! I meant I doubt it will become Pro-Obama, not that I doubt the thought of it becoming Pro-Obama scary.
Too quick on the add comment button, I am.
No Never. Taylor is a good dem. She follows the crowd. Her unthinking mind has made her do what she has always done and she is not prepared to make adjustments to save this country from dictatorship and a balantant sexist racist elitist.

Meant well said. Just call me fumble fingers.

So it looks like Obama is just yet another politician behaving like a politician, as the good Rev. Wright has stated. So, why would that make you vote for McCain? We all knew John Kerry and Bill Clinton were just another politician as well, it didn’t stop us from voting for them.

Freedom Fighter is an Obama sucker trying to play nicey-nice. Didn’t Dear Leader tell them to be nice so we could “get over it”?
It call false advertising, which is illegal in this country. It’s fine being a politician, but try to sell yourself as something else is fraud. I would refuse to make future from someone who did that to me. In the other hand, people like you would prfer to stay in a drewam like stay instead of face your own mistake. Mccain had a record of walking the center. So is Hillary. Therefor, we can have a history to gage them. obama on the other hand, had no record, just words, broken enough promise in the short career that he had to make one wonder. Lacks principle, FISA, Publice Fund, Iraq position, etc. How can any so call educated voter support him? Is critical thinking not being teach in the school system now days? After you had yourself question his stand, you came back to support him? with two more poll had him leading only 4-6%, you came back with the 15% poll? is that the best you can do to convince yourself? Had you seen the real world, or are you so out of touch by living on the web world that you can no longer think?
future purchases i mean. sorry for the typo
McCain is a better politician with a record of reform and bipartisanship. He is principled and ethical, and he has more experience.
Yeah, but he’s not The Messiah! Just kidding, HF!
People, unless we stop supporting this careless, reckless, rotten to the core government we are all going to be up shit creek without a paddle with our hands tied behind our backs and the government pushing us under. It will be even worse for our children who will forced to live a life of violence and poverty when all the jobs are gone. If you don’t want this to happen then join the battle. We need to band together and stop supporting this corrupt beyond belief government….
We need to protest in the streets..
We need a revolution before it’s too late…..

Are YOU one of Obama’s suckers?
Did he really say that? Please cite the source.
Don’t you wonder how an organization as large as the DNC could make a decision, find a location, prepare legal documents including corporate leases, set up insurance, settle with federal, city, county, and state offices, move and furnish, maybe remodel, set up utilities, financial structures, and I’m sure much more that I’m not aware of all in 8 working days?
That sounds incredible to people who have been involved in this type of project.
Yet, the DNC-RBC settled the FL-MI problem by taking half of Hillary’s delegates and giving Obama MI delegates +4 even though he wasn’t on the ballot on MAY 31, and DNC-Obama announced their move on JUNE 12. That gave them 8 working days to set this all up.
It sure sounds like a conspiracy to steal an election to me.
you hit the nail on the head. In court this would be called “circumstantial evidence”. The judge would then supena documents and communicae to establish the intent before hand, thus allowing for NO DOUBT. This has been planned from the start of the primary.
In addition there is one more piece of evidence. The convention ends on the anniversary of the “I have a dream” speech by MLK.
It is about time McCain challenges Obama in an ad.
http://www.obama-wire.com
Obama supporters remind me of kids in elementary school. You know the kind that would tell you how to correctly suck a lollypop and if you called them out on their immaturity, they would start a fight with you. America has been reduced to this type of person. They only care about what makes them feel good. They don’t want to hear about the boring stuff. They want their sucker and they want to suck it too, catch my drift.
Yeah i get it. Just like he sucked Sinclair, right?
Better than being spoiled brats who if they lose want to take their ball away, or change the rules half way through the game, crying Hillary or McCain - Nobama 08.
My insult was better sucker!
Cuba’s Fidel backs Obama
The former president of communist Cuba, Fidel Castro, is supporting Barack Obama in the race for the White House. Castro, who stepped down in February because of continuing poor health, said the Democratic Senator was the most “advanced” candidate running for the U.S. presidency.
Can someone make a list of the terrorists that back Obama?
What the hell is Hillary doing stumping for him in UNITY NH this Friday? Doesn’t she care about her reputation?
Obama supporters are white kids who wear gaudy makeup and have not even lost their baby fat yet.
They used to be Britanny Spears fans but globbed onto Obama now. You should see these freaks.
During this primary campaign, Obama was given bully points for saying:
1) he was against NAFTA — but he wasn’t.
2) he was against the Patriot Act — but he wasn’t.
3) he would accept the limits of public funding in the general election if his Republican opponent would — but he won’t (McCain will).
4) he would join any filibuster against telecom immunity — but he won’t
5) he would practice the new politics of civility and decency — but he hasn’t.
6) he is “for” universal healthcare — but he has worked against universal healthcare
7) he was “for” holding talks with leaders of enemy nations in his first year as president, WITHOUT PRECONDITIONS — but that was never what he “meant” to say, as per David Axelrod.
~ ~ ~
I addition to reading No Quarter every day, I read Bob Somerby at The Daily Howler. Today, he shows HOW Obama destroyed his rivals by saying he WOULD accept public funding for the general election and then savaging them when they would not make a similar vow. Now that Obama has used that and similar promises to eliminate his rivals, he has BACK-TRACKED on every single statement and promise he made in the campaign.
http://www.dailyhowler.com/
Do I think Obama is worse than John McCain? I never thought I would say this, but my answer is “yes.”
McCain just wants to be president. True, he would NOT be my choice for president but being president is all he aspires to be.
Barack Obama, on the other hand, wants to be a strong-man dictator thug.
A President McCain would be hobbled by a Democratic Congress, but a President Obama would have TOTAL CONTROL. The Democrats in Congress would lie down on the floor like so many rugs for Obama to stroll on, and the media maggots would engage in endless sucking up so they would not be labeled “racists” or lose out on “access” to the White House parties and other “goodies”
It’s beginning to look more and more like I prefer McCain to Obama.
BUT I HAVE NOT GIVEN UP ON TURNING THIS NOMINATION AROUND IN TIME FOR THE AUGUST DEMOCRATIC PARTY NOMINATING CONVENTION.
Obama STILL does NOT have sufficient pledged delegates to give him the nomination and still needs the UNpledged votes of the super-delegates to win the nomination.
Let’s work on the super-delegates and show them that millions of us will NOT be voting for Obama, and that they need to back off their insane support for Obama and switch their votes to Hillary.
The Howler piece is a good reminder, not just of Obama’s Campaign Finance Flip Flop, but that the Media praised his original stance of pledging to accept public financing.
Moreover, the Howler points out the Media’s heavy criticism of Hillary for not making the same pledge. Now, the same Media is saying that the Flip Flop is no big deal, and will not matter to voters.
Obama is not the only one flip flopping. The MSM is flopping around right behind him. They praise Obama for his original position, and heap more praise on him when he changes it.
Whereas Clinton Rethugs are a tiny minority of hate filled “wont vote for the black guy” ex Dems.
Why do I have to vote for a black men? Is the color of his skin soo important that i am no allow to look past that and judge him by merit? I am not sure Affirmitive action is a good policy as it stand. We Asian can’t get into good school in San francisco because there are too many qualify, so they have to save those opennings for the AA. That is discrimination to me. What had we Asian did to the AA? Why are we paying for it? Why are the skin coloor so important? shoulding people be judge by it’s own merit? So by your definition, anyone who don’t vote for a black men is Racist. Would someone who call me a racist be consider a racist since iI am not white. That means you are a racist yourself. now, stay in UK.
You do not have to vote for anyone because of their colour but voting against your own party because of a candidates colour is indeed racist. Oh the voices are disguised - “the caucuses were intimidating” (they had black people there), the votes were “stolen” - they did not vote the right way, he is “a closet muslim”, there is “something wrong with his birth certificate”, “BoBo”.
Most Hillary supporters are indeed good people and good Democrats. OK the Primary Campaign was tough, but it is over. Certainly Obama supporters have as much to be angry about as Hillary supporters but FORGET IT. Four more years of Republican rule will get the World nowhere.
Hillary has in the main fought against the people who populate sites like this. Those claiming to be Democrats, who were playing the terrorist and race card against HER HUSBAND. These people are not Democrats. McBush set up many Shillary sites to fervour division amongst Democrats as that is the only way he can win in November. True Democrats will not play ball with them.
It’s Obama camp thqat injected Race into the primary. started in SC when he said, I guess i am a balck candidate( to get AA votes). that is the begining of the who race issue. his camp had been smearing the clintons for racist after that. Are you telling me that those Democrate legislators are republicans now? What a good people do is to vote what’s best for the country and not partisanship. as I said, Obama’s claim to new politic is false advertising, illegal in this counry. Also his issue was taking from someone else, not his own. If he does not believe it from the begining, how can i trust him to follow through? He had already changed his stand on Public fund, FISA, Iraq to just name a few, what is to stop him from changing ever issue he is for now? with the need to win election, he can throw everthing under the bus. Can you anwser any of my piont or are you just blindly following an politician who claim to be a something else? The last time i check, in the GE, you are allow to vote for anyone, not just party line. That’s call democracy, the reason I live here.
No, the caucuses were often truly intimidating, and that’s not right.
And you can certainly be angry.
But that’s BS to me, anyway. To even suggest that it was equal bashing is to tell me…..we have no common perspective.
I’ll not vote Democrat. I’m sure of that.
But I don’t belong in that party any longer.
The tent isn’t big enough. LOL*
I
The Dem Party can make do with a much smaller tent now that all they have are Eggheads and AAs.
No that is where you’re wrong. You like all Obama supporters just don’t get it. It’s all about “YOU” your needs, your wants, your desires. Wrong or Right. The “ME” generation. To hell with what is best for the country, or your fellow Americans. There are times as a woman when we have to look beyond what is best for “you/us”. When we have to make real sacrifices. For our families, our future generations. It’s nothing new, we’ve been sacrificing our hopes and dreams since the beginning of time. This is just a minor setback for us, but a major setback for the country. We will not sit back and watch happen. We know when there comes a time to stand behind something or someone to lift them up for the betterment of all Americans, to look beyond “ourselves”. Obama is not that person. What’s really sad is those on your side seem to think we’re so simple that there is only one issue that is important to us as women. That is why you don’t get it, and that is why you’ll never get it. That is why I’ll vote for McCain in 08 and once again for Clinton in 2012.
Won’t vote for the Chicago guy.
I don’t know where else to post this, so here will do. A book about Obama is in the works - check this out:

Thanks Susan for sharing these, especially LOVED the Flineo video. Flineo just gets better and better.
omigod……that video is very dramatic and I had to click it off. I watched it once.
It’s way too fear-laden for me.
I am visiting from another site that is supporting Hillary or John McCain, I am a Republican but do like my politics to be fair. The way the Hillary was denied the nomination was pathetic and very anti-American. I am not a racist as has been suggested by so many of the Obama people, I am an American that has paid attention to the political field for many years, I take my rights very seriously, I have voted ever since IKE’s first term in 1952, I vote for the one I feel is the best for my country. My opinion is important to me and I do not like the dirty tricks being played by the Obama people. Sites being taken over, threats being made, name calling by a bunch of over zealous people. All I ask for you Obama people to do is keep your opinions to yourself and I will keep mine. One of these two men will be elected to be the President of the USA, let us give the respect to the office that it deserves.
Let’s not pretend that McCain hasn’t made expedient flip-flops, such as pandering to the religious right and decrying and then endorsing offshore oil drilling. (He’s even flip-flopped on whether the would abide by the spending limits for federal matching funds in the primary.)
I would have considered it brave and principled but foolhardy for Obama to give up the financial advantage that he has built.
The mistake he made was in declaring on a questionnaire that he would taking public funds in the general election well before he could have foreseen his fundraising success.
Obama is raising money the right way, from more than 1.5 million small contributors.
If you care about Hillary Clinton’s issues, it’s time to get on board with Barack Obama, just as Clinton herself has. I admire McCain, but we do NOT need four more years of Bush-style policies in the White House.
We need to put this in perspective. Obama is the figurehead, pushed by our greedy Dem. party, DNC and the Congreessional piggies. Peolsi, Reid, Kennedy, the loser Kerry, Joe Biden, Dodd, Rohnm, the little hypocrite Robert Waxler. Have to mention Howard Dean and Ms. “Rules” Brazile. The party needs a good cleaning. The party’s thirst for money has gotten us into this mess. We need a good house cleaning. We need to support efforts such as PUMA, the million march on Denver this August. Lets be proactive, lets make those personal protest calls and emails. The party has to be shown there is a politicl price to be paid.
It is posssible that the party and Obama may be engulfed by a Watergate type of criminal coverup regarding the Larry Sinclair affair, and people being paid off for their silence. The circumstances regarding Larry’s arrest may have openned a whole new can of worms for those idiots.
Pity the PATHETIC Obama supporters … they have NOTHING left in their quivers except insults and charges that anyone who does not get down on bended knee and worship at the Obama altar is a “racist.”
The Obamazoids can no longer tell us what Obama is “for” or “against” because everything Obama told them he was “for,” he is now “against”; and everything Obama told them he was “against,” he is now “for.”
The heads of the Obamazoids are now spinning around so fast, they all look like the green-faced Jim Carry in “The Mask.”
Which is a pretty good description of Barack Obama now that I come to think of it; he IS the Masked Figure, and not to be trusted.
Everything Obama says is the OPPOSITE of what he does. He is NOT to be trusted.
The Obamazoids have nothing to “cling” to now … they are definitely desperate.
All that is left for them to do is call the rest of us “racists.”
Their Kool-Aid drinks have eaten away at their brains until there is very little brain left to reason with. They can no longer understand that someone could be hostile to Obama’s candidacy for ANY other reason than Obama’s race.
I wonder if the reverse of that reasoning works for the Obamazoids: do they also question Obama’s African-American supporters to see if they have any other reason for voting “for” Obama than because he is black.
Ninety percent of America’s black voters voted “for” Obama. Is it a form of “racism” to vote for someone simply because he IS an African-American?
The simple truth is that I have listed at least 20 reasons NOT to trust what Obama says about anything; I called them “The 20 Obama Myths.” I provided links to my sources for the facts.
The other simple truth is that I gave Barack Obama twice as much slack to persuade me he would be the best candidate, and I did that because I wanted a black man to do well. But Obama abused every bit of slack I granted him.
Barack Obama abuses the truth as easily as he abuses the American political system. Obama is NOT to be trusted.
Why is it that people will stick with a party regardless of the nominee? I have voted both democratic and republican over the years. Why isn’t our country first and party second? Even Webster lists country first and party after. I’ve seen people ask, ‘why would you vote for McCain rather than fall in line behind Obama’? For me it’s a matter of who I believe will do the least amount of harm to this country, as I do not put much faith in anyone’s promises. Candidates make promises that can’t possibly be kept. I am convinced the answer is McCain as I believe he is a true patriot and truly loves America. I simply cannot get past Obama’s sitting in that hate-spewing church for 20 years and doing nothing. Any person that wants the honor of being the President of the United States has got to care about all of us. He has shown me, with his attitude, associations and arrogance, that he does not. What about his own District in Chicago when he was a state rep, were there no white people in that district? Obviously it doesn’t bother him a bit to hear the trash coming out of the mouths of his Uncle, mentor, spiritual advisor. He has aligned himself with racists and lowlife associates. Why would anyone think the change he is talking about will be good? Obama has shown me that I don’t matter, he whines and screams race whenever it benefits him, and why not, that’s always worked for him. I would think that a person running for the highest office in this country can do better than to cry and whine and use the race card. I’m embarassed and he should be for the underhanded tactics he and the DNC used against Hillary. What a pathetic group of people. And fair or not, Presidents are held to a higher standard, and for me, Obama has failed the test of honesty and lacks integrity and has done nothing more than cause a racial divide that was unneccessary.

Know Obama
No Obama
Of topic a bit…
There has been a rash of police shootings in Chicago. Also the Gangbangers have lost their damn minds here!
Especially in the 13th. district which is, as many of you know, Obama’s district!
Where the HELL is he and why is he not doing what the people of ILLINOIS hired him to do? reddragon62.blogspot.com. I have a link up to the Chicago tribune and two stories about the violence that is sweeping Chicago. Not One F%#$*^& peep out of Barky about what is happening in chicago.
This is an awesome ad by McCain. I’m impressed.
As a person from Massachusetts- this is my message to Axelrod:
Fool me once ( Deval Patrick)- shame on you.
Fool me twice ( Nobama)- shame on me.
I won’t be fooled or shamed!
I say “No deal” - Hillary ‘08
….and ultimately a dismal failure as a governor.
Finally-I was starting to wonder if the republicans had gone all soft and creampuffy.
Hillary still puts them all to shame-wimps.
this republican is strong in her will that Obama is very bad for our country I am a White American Senior citizen and I resent you thinking I am weak.
They really still don’t get it:
1. You had 16 months to sell us Obama. If we didn’t buy him then, we are not buying him now.
2. You cannot insult us into voting for Obama. We have already been called every name in the book. What’s a few more insults going to do?
3. You cannot guilt-trip us into voting for Obama because we do not believe he represents our values or beliefs.
4. You cannot expect us to support Obama to “help” the Democratic Party because we believe that Obama is one of the biggest mistakes the Democratic Party has ever made.
5. You cannot frighten us into voting for Obama. We are strong, we are united. The only ones who are afraid are those trying to bully us into voting for Obama.
Also, why should we get behind the candidate that LOST
the popular vote? Obama has no mandate to take on this nomination.
Hillary won the popular vote.
