Neighborhood(lums) * Open Thread [with 2 updates + "Harriet Christian needs you!"]
By SusanUnPC on October 15, 2008 at 11:50 AM in Annenberg Chicago Challenge, Barack Obama, Bill Ayers, Chicago politics, Obamedia, Pennsylvania, Weather Underground, William Ayers
Hilarious (!) Update #2: Some (former?) employee in Barack Obama’s campaign inner sanctum accidentally released all of Obama’s “talking points” for tonight’s third and final debate against John McCain. Jake Tapper has the story:
"* This is John McCain’s last chance to turn this race around and somehow convince the American people that his erratic response to this economic crisis doesn’t disqualify him from being President.
"* Just this weekend the weekend, John McCain vowed to ‘whip Obama’s you-know-what’ at the debate, and he’s indicated that he’ll be bringing up Bill Ayers to try to distract voters. (Read all.)
Update: Harriet Christian called me today to ask all of you near NYC or Scranton, Pennsylvania to join her on-the-ground group Saturday at Scranton’s “Democrats for McCain” headquarters. Harriet says the group that traveled by bus last weekend was very energized and “up” after the voter-to-voter interactions. Go here for the details, the same each Saturday — including both how to catch the bus at Penn Station or where to drive in Scranton to meet up.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
It’s the typical Obama pattern. Deny. Minimize. Block it. Deflect. Make up excuse after excuse after excuse. Try to hide the proof. Destroy evidence.
Keep legitimate press from researching documentation.
When legitimate writers and researchers like Stanley Kurtz or Steve Diamond gain access, intimidate most of the MSM from pursuing the story or charm them into the “fairy tale” story of the ascendancy of “The One.”
The media are doing exactly what they did with the lead-up and first period of the Iraq War: CHEERLEAD!
The few who questioned were marginalized, banished, mocked and ridiculed.
When I wrote to Keith Olbermann before the Iraq war, he mocked my concern. Only later, when he got his full-time one-hour show at MSNBC did he find it profitable to become the left’s cheerleader against the war. (How I wish I still had those e-mails. But I would take an oath that he made fun of my opposition to the war. That was before he found out he could boost his ratings by playing to the Daily Kos crowd.)
So it goes.
And, now, an open thread!









































I loved how Hillary called him out on this. Respectful but powerful- Loved it! How can Americans not care about Ayers. More reporters/ moderators need to call Obama out on it too. He blinked like a million times in this. Any person with have brain can see that. All he does is make excuses and acts like a victim- GIVE ME A BREAK!
I think Americans do care about Ayers and Barky’s associations. The MSM is telling us that we don’t, but the more thy tell us that, the more we search for info on our own.
That is how I got here and why I am playing Republican for a day on 11/4.
Welcome, csuzeq!
As you go about your day, talk to others about the election.
When I go into a store and someone says, “Is there anything I can do for you?”
I smile and say, “Yes, please don’t vote for Obama. He is a very dangerous man.”
Yesterday I talked to the girl at the bank about the Obama/Odinga connection.
She was smug at first and then ended up looking alarmed and thanked me.
I wrote down the names and told her to check it out for herself.
That’s right.
The American people are about to hire a new President in less than three weeks.
Just like any employer whose looking to hire someone, the employer doesn’t just look at the hype on a candidate’s resume and take all of the information on it at face value. The employer checks the resume for accuracy. He/she checks the candidate’s references. Background checks.
That’s what all Americans are at election time. Employers. And it’s our responsibility to check out candidates before we hire them
Oh I agree.
Don’t you get so tired of the media telling you how you feel?
I feel like that guy who went off on McCain in Wisconsin. I’m pissed off, I DO care and it’s NOT the economy!! It’s the fact that we have a man running for president who wants to tear our country apart. Where did he come from? Why is the msm covering up for him?? Why do they think that his radical associations don’t matter??? If this were a Republican candidate, they would have been done before the primary. Just look at what they’ve done to Sarah Palin.
If the so called “journalists” were doing their job, it would be Clinton and McCain and we could rest assured that whoever took over, they would love this country and have her best interests at heart. Obama does NOT and that should matter to EVERYONE.
I’m so sorry that McCain and Hillary didn’t run together. The Dems have got nothing for Hillary from here on out. They’ve even made her go on tv and say she has no further political aspirations. John McCain almost changed over to the Democratic Party after Dubya started torturing Iraqis.
Philip Berg posts comment on API’s website.
Another blogger posts an Update stating he had a personal conversation with Berg at midnight last night.
That same blogger has a second Update stating that he got off the phone with a “reputable source” (Berg?) and there is a recording of the conversation with Michelle Obama.
I read the same thing. Obama will be forced to resign from the Democratic ticket if this is true. In addition, the MSM will HAVE to follow this story because it involves the Constitution of the United States. It is not a Democrat or Republican issue, it is not a black or white issue–it is about upholding our Constitution. You know . . . the document in which our entire government was based?
Well Obama has flagrantly flaunted his Muslim leaning in his writing (or in Ayers writing) he has been thumbing his warty nose at America with the phony seal, refusing to raise his hand for the pledge, etc. etc. And STILL the press glorifies him. It wouldn’t surprise me if Michelle and Obama think they are totally bulletproof now, that they can say what they want and not be held accountable.

THIS STORY BUSTS BARKY’S ASS WITH A WEB ARCHIVE OF ORGANIZING FOR ISLAM…CHICAGE STYLE…
“After seeing this I decided to snoop around myself. If you follow the link you will arrive at the site of the “Community News Project of the Community Media Workshop.” Guess who funds this publication/workshop? Foundations like the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Joyce Foundation, and…..The Woods Fund of Chicago. Yes, THAT Woods Fund…”
http://insightanalytical.wordpress.com/
NOTE: All of those foundations are linked to PBS in some fashion and all linked to Chicago.
Barack Obama was on the Board of The Joyce Foundation as well as the Woods Foundation.
All roads keep leading to Chicago. PBS takes public money and I think Federal Funds. They are far from unbiased. In fact what have they been teaching our kids on Sesame Street? Much more than the ABC I think. They also regularly play a change the world song, that now makes me want to vomit.
Shocking development: Mrs Obama decides enough is enough: “My husband was born in Hawaii and adopted by his step father, does that make him unpatriotic; she asks”, on a direct telephone to API.

Has Larry Johnson seen this?
This is a bogus story and maybe a bot plant
Well if it is a plant by O-Bots….lol….It will bite Barky’s Ass just like the phony COLB did…and that was a fake…Gets people talkin about Berg’s suit…AND THAT IS A REAL LAW SUIT
Byron York is saying it’s fake.
Thanks,
I would have thought Texas Darlin would have done a post if it were true.
Obama camp: The Michelle Obama/API interview is bogus
http://hotair.com/archives/2008/10/15/obama-camp-the-michelle-obamaapi-interview-is-bogus/
Am tired of all this and in the end nothing comes out of it, for crying out loud if this man is not a citizen of the USA how the hell can he be running for President, are we all F**ing stupid in this country now?
Everyone is sitting on this story well Obama should win then if I was him I would come out and tell the truth am not a US citizen am also a dam Muslim but am President of the USA, and what a bunch of dam fools the great powerful America has, plus if anyone tries to move me out of office am going to jail them….welcome to Obama the Dictator.
I always thought Byron York was a fraud
Did Berg get a copy of the recorded interview?
Link
.
API publishes update, but still refuses to produce tapes:
So they have a recording and will release it when they feel like swell something as important as a candidate may not be a citizen of the USA and running for President, none of the media cares to investigate this, and API is taking their cool time.
Well I cant blame API if Americans don’t care about their own situation why should others. If Obama does win I know one thing if this information comes out we will be the laughing stock of the world, for being so careless with a important activity as a general election, and we all know how we love to preach to the entire world that our elections are always above board and every one should follow us.
Yep we will surly go into the history books with this one
So… what are all you fine people gonna do come November 5th? Making plans?
Anybody feel like you pissed away the last four months?
Nope….I rarely win presidential elections. LOL* I’m used to it.
The last one was Clinton, to be honest.
The way I handle this stuff is to try to keep perspective. All presidents make mistakes. All presidents do good for the country, too. And they never has as much power as people think.
It’s sort of the beauty of Democracy, I guess.
Well said, Ann. I certainly hope most PUMAs would wish Obama success… and not wish for four years of disaster.
lol
Well, if you are here to inform us our votes aren’t needed…why thank you. I guess all the NEW DEMOCRATS will be working with ACORN to take care of everything.
I don’t think I have wasted any time, I think it is good that mind controllers know that not all are controllable…they maybe the NEW BORG DEMS but RESISTANCE IS NOT FUTILE…WE WILL PERSIST!
If you hear them keep going, and so we will!
VIVA LA RESISTANCE!
No, I don’t wish that charlatan success if he steals and scams his way into the White House.
As much as you would like to capitulate and sit home on Nov 4, it ain’t over yet. Don’t underestimate the groundswell of conservative voters that will come out on Election Day, just like they did in 2004.
Even if Obama manages to game this election as well, I’m confident that we will have our “I told you so” moment(s), and automobiles will be manufactured with “Don’t Blame Me, I Voted For McCain” bumper stickers already on them.
lol. sorry, but I know barky will bring 4 years of disaster, so I’m not going to wish him well. I don’t wish destruction of the USA.
UBM…once a troll, always a troll. and, you must be scared because you never show up here unless something is going awry with barky.
voter fraud, anyone?
acorns roasting on the open fire, anyone?
ayers in the white house, anyone, along with wright, farakkan and odinga, the murderer?
Barky pardoning all radicals?
Barky getting rid of fitzgerald?
yup, the hits keep on coming.
You’re right, Dr. Kate. I’m sweating bullets. I’m whistling past the graveyard.

sorry to ruin your (premature) narrative!
We all going to feel like the Hillary of Father Flagler. But then by the end of the first 100 days in office, most people that voted for Obama will also feel like that. Maybe you will too.
So, lark, you’re going to carry this burden of negativity and spite for the next few months? The next few years? You really want to live your life that way?
Come on… let it go. America is about to turn the page.
to Socialism with a dictator at the helm, if Obama wins.
Well friend let me tell you what Obama and the Dems will do in the next 4 years. They will raise corporate tax to 50 55 60 or even 65 percent. Why? In order to provide incentives to the economy and to industry in target areas.
We are a bunch of “suckers” for a good fairy tale it seems. The fable of “The One”… and The inconvenient theory of the shrinking Arctic.
Hope this doesn’t hurt the carbon offset stocks.
http://www.adn.com/news/environment/story/555283.html
The issue for me isn’t ACORN’s methodology. Obama is right in a sense that ACORN is guilty of mismanagement as much as anything.
The issue remains for me that Obama, once again, lied to the public.
I’m a bit concerned for the voters who really aren’t taking that seriously. George Bush lied, and we’re in a war.
It would appear that deception has become acceptable. In middle class, that means it’s OK to cheat on taxes, rip off your insurance company, etc.
This loss of principle is absolutely part of the Wall St. problem. Lie to stockholders about the validity of their investment security? No problem! Everyone does it, right?
Same thing in politics. Lie to people about your relationships rather than just take the hit and move on?
The truth is that the news cycle for lying is about the same as for actual relationships.
Obama will be viewed as “smart” for having lied. He covered his own liberal tracks, so to speak, to win over middle America.
I find that a bit depressing, personally.
Lying is the issue. We deserve better.

Well, if they say the election is over (moveon.org sent out an e-mail saying they now want to win by a mandate?), maybe they know some thing we don’t?
Because they don’t really need Obama to do what they plan to do. He is a “sock puppet”. Pelosi and Reid will take turns putting their hands up him… to make him talk. But, with a mandate they can get started without him.
They will, indeed, make me nuts. I’m far, far more disillusioned with the Democratic Party than with Obama. Him, I get. Heck, I’d want to be the first AA president, too! That’s quite a feather in one’s life cap.
The slugs in WA who think they have bought him, lock, stock, and barrel?
One thing I do find funny is that I’ve watched him. Like any minority candidate who has to “shed” associations as he moves up the ladder, he’s going to “shed” them, too.
The public cannot stand this Congress. He’s not stupid. He “gets” that.
Pelosi and Reid may be the ones to find out that they are under the bus with Obama.
I know, frankly, if I were in his shoes, that’s precisely what I’d do. They have lower approval ratings than Bush. No way would I even pretend to go along with them. I would distance promptly.
THEY are toast. I predict.

GOOD FILM ON CNN ACORN FRAUD IN PA….
That Hillbuzz is really good and tracks down every lead. He currently has a donkey being followed by rain. http://hillbuzz.wordpress.com/2008/10/14/an-eeyore-free-zone/ Which is pretty much what will happen in the years to come I suspect.
Well, moveon.org is full of beans. There IS no mandate.
This country hasn’t seen a mandate in my lifetime.
Electoral college “landslides” aren’t a mandate, for heaven’s sakes.
This country is very divided and nobody, nobody with half a brain doesn’t really get that.
Liberal presidents get 2 maybe 3 liberal “moves” in. That’s it. They go too far, they’ll get tossed out at re-election time. Ditto for conservatives.
Bush’s big “move” was just a whopper. The war.
That counted for … like 10 other types of moves.
Hey! Let’s all go give Billy Ayers a shout…I had no idea this existsed…looks real…lol
http://www.supportbillayers.org/
Well, just look at all of the people who live in Ivory Towers and support O. Do they even live in the real world?
Not “O”, but Ayers…might as well be the same.
Check out name number 5 on the list of those signing the petition in support of Bill Ayers…none other than Rashid Khalidi. I also recognize several acquaintances, schoolmates, and others in my field of practice; some who I would have figured to be Ayers supporters, and others who surprise the hell out of me for being on that list.
I paid him a visit. he he

BRING IT ALL UP JOHNNYMAC…OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN…
NULLO MODO OBAMA! = NO WAY OBAMA!
AnninCA,
I totally agree. We all deserve better! It is discouraging to see so many people turn a blind eye. But I have to believe in the goodness of people. And try and stay positive. It is VERY difficult at times but at the core I think most people will reflect on this before they pull the lever. It could be the one thing that makes a difference for undecided voters.
AnninCA:
If Obama contends that ACORN is guilty of mismanagement, I’d like him to explain why he has continued to fund them, wants to make them advisers to his administration, and insists on throwing them more tax dollars. If this doesn’t speak to his lack of judgment and integrity, what does ?
printing up t-shirts that say:
2004=2008
2004 – You’re not republican if you don’t agree with me
2008 – You’re not a democrat if you don’t agree with me
I was right about Bush, I’m right about Obama.
That’s a good sum-up for me, too.
Yesterday as I was driving home from lunch out, (true story)
I was at a stop light and looked in my rear view mirror and the passenger seat lady was pointing to my right side of the car and then to the left and then hysterically laughing and talking to the driver. Pointing to both sides again and then laughing hysterically!
I LOVED IT!
She noticed my Hillary bumpersticker on one side and McCain/Palin on the other! She thought it was funny the driver male sitting next to her didn’t even bust a grin.
Some get it. Some don’t.
You GO, Girl! My McCain/Palin lawn sign is flanked by little American flags and proudly sits next to my Hillary sign. Tells the whole story.
I am predicting bumper stickers and T-shirts that say “Obama is Bush”. But just because it’s the truth… and the truth always comes out… eventually.
Obama’s fraud knows no boundary.
A Swiss citizen witnessed voter fraud in Switzerland and wrote the following at
http://purplepeoplevote.com/2008/10/05/funny-funding-for-obama/
Leon48, on October 6th, 2008 at 6:26 pm Said:
I am swiss and resident in Geneva, Switzerland.
1) I certify that the Obama campaign has raised money from SWISS residents (not US citizens!)
2) I can also certify that at a fundraising reception help in my town Geneva in early sept., several people gave the Obama campaign about 20′000 usd each which is way above the legal limits in your country.
On my local Geneva TV, a SWISS donor has actually declared “it is our duty – as swiss citizens – to help elect a black candidate because this is a historic and fantastic thing”.
I stand ready to witness and bring proof backing up my statement. I dont know who to contact in usa so I am just tryin to post a few messagges under some articles appearin to raise the question of fraudulent donations to Obama.
Leon Fiss, Geneva, Switzerland
I’ve heard similar stories from friends in Switzerland, France and Germany.
I contacted local TV channels in the States but (probably because I live in a blue state) I only got cookie cutter responses “Thank you for contacting us.”
I also contacted several French language TV stations and newspapers in Switzerland and France, but they are not intereted in this story. Unfortunately the French media are just as biased as the American media, so let’s contact BBC, Times and ITN and some German media(much fairer when it comes to McCain than the French media) and ask them to investigate!
BBC (They have offices all over Europe)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/newswatch/ukfs/hi/newsid_3950000/newsid_3959100/3959111.stm
Times Online’s Newsdesk (They also have bureaus all over Europe)
news@timesonline.co.uk
ITN (They too have mumerous bureaus in Europe)
news@itn.co.uk.
Also contact Schweizer Fernsehen(German Language Swiss TV) and Der Spiegel (a provocative German magazine)
Since I can’t write letters with umlaut(2 dots on a, e, o) here, I posted a template letter in German at the bottom of the following page.
http://colberturdead2me.wordpress.com/
with English translation of the Spiegel’s “Contact us” format.
Please copy and paste the German letter and send it to Schweizer Fernsehen and Der Spiegel!
Email this to your friends, post this on your blog and ask your readers to contact overseas media!
Hope we can get their attention!

A good song is a song worth parodying– my apologies to Katrina and the Waves…
Walking on Moonshine
I used to think maybe I’d win, and now I’m almost sure
Now I’m still out on the campaign trail, the win to assure.
I just hope now for the duration, that nobody sees
For some of the issues, I seem to have two policies.
I’m walking on moonshine– oh, oh
I’m walking on moonshine– oh, oh
I’m walking on moonshine– oh, oh
And don’t it feel good.
So what if we’re trillions in debt, and a mile in a hole
We need to spend more, and put more of us right on the dole.
Now if you’ve got money, look out– I’ll be coming for you
‘Cause I’ve got big plans, for which I will need more revenue.
I’m walking on moonshine– oh, oh
I’m walking on moonshine– oh, oh
I’m walking on moonshine– oh, oh
And don’t it feel good.
Now I’ve got the win in my sights, and soon I’ll have it made
If they bring up Rezko, Ayers, Wright– I’ll still be unafraid.
There’s only one thing that I fear– if some journalist tell
That if I should win, our new first lady will be Michelle.
I’m walking on moonshine– oh, oh
I’m walking on moonshine– oh, oh
I’m walking on moonshine– oh, oh
And don’t it feel good.
Give it a Grammy!! Love it!!

HAVE FAITH BRETHREN AND SISTREN!!
http://www.gallup.com/poll/111172/Gallup-Daily-Before-Final-Debate-Obama-Leads.aspx
I have had the feeling for the past couple days that ’something’ was happening as I watched the polls and looked a the internals. McCain’s all-out attack, albeit widely panned, is WORKING. It has planted the seeds of doubt in the minds of a gullible public and people are WAKING UP.
Yesterday, Gallup was 11 overall, 10 expanded likely, 7 standard likely.
Today: 7 OVERALL, 8 EXPANDED, 3 (YES 3) STANDARD LIKELY!
Have faith, have faith, John and Sarah are NOT THROUGH YET.
Take care,
Patrick
As with all the polls, I have to wonder more than anything, “are the pollsters calling only city dwellers? Are the rural voters being polled?” I see no indication of that in their stats.
My thoughts are that if you only call people in the cities, you’re going to get a more urban mindset than if you include the boonies. I’m not using “urban” as code for AA, but it’s just a different mindset living in a big city than it is in the suburban and rural areas of the country. I think this is one reason polls always seem to favor Democrats, then we always are shocked when Republicans do so well on Election Day.
The same thing is very observable during the primaries, when they break it down by cities and areas of a state. But I never hear that being done or accounted for in the “national” polls.
So, I tend to believe they are making most of their calls in the cities, resulting in a stronger showing for Democrats, but in the end, when you mix in all the outlying areas, it changes dramatically.
Chins up, folks! There are TONS of small towns!
He hardly knows him?
Obama launched his campaign from Bill Ayers living room in Chicago!..
Could someone please fine Obama $100 for each LIE that comes out of his mouth? We’d me more than halfway by now in resolving the National Debt!
Actually, guys, that could have a smidge of truth. These non-profit boards (I’ve been on one) are not exactly “close ties.” You generally share common goals. Ditto for academic consortiums on topics. I’d have to see what the participants actually said. And ditto for fundraising parties.
So McCain’s tactic is closer to accurate.
It’s not the perception that he and Ayers are alike, it’s the lying to the public that should be the focus.
Just say….yeah, we talked at a liberal conference, he gave a party, and I worked with a board.
What’s telling to me, anyway, is that he lied about the details of the fundraising party. That COULD be misremembering. Or a very sure sign that he has no problem at all just lying to the public.
I know, people went nuts over Hillary and Bosnia. The fact that they aren’t going nuts over his lies proves the point. They used that to smear her, because of her sex.
I agree with Lark, whom I don’t think agrees with me on many positions. On this one issue, we’re on the same page. Misogyny is the real story of this election.
Here’s what’s a bit odd for me, personally.
I have always know that was what was really the deal in my own life as a woman.
It’s rather validating.
That’s pretty sick, but it’s the truth.
A man died and went to the gates of heaven.
There were hundred of clocks – all with different times and the hands moving at different speeds.
The man asked the angel at the gate, “What are these for?”
“Well, these are the clocks of famous people that represent how many times they told a lie.”
The angel showed me a clock and the hands were perfectly still and placed at high Noon.
This is the Mother Theresa’s clock. She never told a lie.
He showed him the clock that had stopped at 2 minutes after 12. “This is Abraham Lincoln’s clock.”
“This is OJ’s clock.” The hands of the clock were spinning faster than usual.
The man asked, “Where is Barack Obama’s clock?”
“Oh, that one,” the angel said, “St. Peter took that one into his office. He’s using it as a ceiling fan.”

This from Fox News website re BO’s denial of further ties to ACORN:
Emphasis mine. Sorry.
Well, I’m just so upset that I can’t gather my thoughts today. This would be the same $800,000 that was charged to audio setup or some such BS, right, Larry?
(chuckle) what a web huh?
OF THE TANGLED WOVEN SORT…eh Dawnelle?
I was raised in the South. I know how to decode.
In short, the front organization for ACORN arranged for the bus transportion from Chicago to Iowa City. *haha
I grew up in a very, very *ahem* hands-on Democratic part of the country.
I know exactly how this works. You guys have to laugh a little.
I used to ride with our local Dem sherrif as he rounded up VOTERS in his pick-up truck, gave them a buck and beer. He always won.
Later in life, I was trained by a Dem precinct captain in Indiana during the heyday of Chicago politics. Terre Haute was total Daly country. He taught me how to circle the ballots so my “people” would know how to vote. *haha
Voter fraud isn’t anything new or even shocking.
And those of you who are surprised are making me laugh a little. It’s clear you’ve never really been involved.
AnninCA – Maybe I’m not getting the tone of your comment, it appears you are bragging that you have engaged in, supported or simply turned a blind eye to voter fraud in our country. If being a participant in unsavory practices somehow makes you more “involved” then count me out.
We all as citizens have a duty to ensure that the voting franchise is protected and not dilluted. It is what much of the world looks to us to represent. The ends do not always justify the means.
I think this web site is a perfect example of people who have taken a stance, even against their own party, to voice opposition to such conduct unbecoming of citizens of a proud democracy.
I could have mis-interpreted your message, but it came across as a lecture obout the “realities” of politics. I think most people would like that “reality” to change for the better, not the worse.
AnninCA – Let me pre-empt any response by saying that I have read many of your other comments and certainly don’t believe you meant it the way I read it. Mea Culpa for my knee-jerk comment to you.
I was 19. And nobody said circling names was illegal.
My “mentor” was a great Italian fellow. He just took a shine to me.
He cultivated me to take over.
He grew a garden every year for the neighborhood. Everyone was welcome. He fixed tickets, helped people out with small stuff, and they looked to him how to vote.
He passed it on.
He delivered, consistently, 95% of his precienct vote.
If Charlie backed you, you got his voters.
That’s old-style Daly politics.
I think a lot of you probably have no idea about how it really works.
This type of delivery of votes system is outdated, true.
But there are other methods that have clearly been in play.
I’m sure outsider votes influenced Iowa caucuses.
I’d bet my last buck on that.
It was bussed in people.
That’s old-style politicking.
This is AFTER they lied about any affiliation with ACORN, citing CSI. Now, when they got caught, CSI is not involved with THAT fraud. The lies never stop. This propaganda machine makes Bush/Cheney look honest and transparent.
I don’t understand why revealing the TRUTH about Obama and his ties to Ayers, Acorn, Odinga et al. is NEGATIVE , if McCain was accusing Obama of untrue activites it would be negative, but this stuff is factual, why is the Truth Negative?? So what is the acceptable alternative–positive lies?
Well, I think all AA politicians come up through community groups that many middle Americans would, indeed, consider subversive.
But that’s their path.
To even get the first donation, an AA politician must get it from those who fight for minorities.
That means….all of them have roots to these organizations.
It’s odd, but Obama’s willingness to throw people under the bus has worked to convince people he’s trustworthy, in an ironic way.
He won’t stand by old loyalties is what people are seeing, which is good, since a lot of those old supporters are way too radical for middle America.
So he effectively convinced middle America that he “gets” it. If he wishes to be president, he must ditch the former support system. He’s done that. That’s why, I suppose, even his lies help.
I also think that his willingness to distance has even moved someone like me to the position where I’m not voting for him, but I’m not particularly afraid. I can see good from his election.
I DO think the entire Washington DC system needs to be shaken up, and he’s not the guy to do it.
I think we’re going to see entirely too much compromise with power. And we way too vulnerable to withstand it.
He could be, in fact, disastrous as a president.
I don’t see the passion for the country, so it’s a “head trip” with him.
He may end up being the first very bad, bad AA president of the country.
I think we absolutely need a shake-up. McCain’s compromises with his party have weakened his image with me. Obama’s compromises with Pelosi and Reid are the same.
I’m personally not optimistic with either candidate. I just think we have 2 weak candidates running.
Because if they scream ‘NEGATIVE’ enough, like they did whenever Hillary criticized his record or misstatements, it will shut up the opposition. Same thing with the racist accusation. It’s a form of intimidation to silence critics.

AEQUAM MEMENTO REBUS IN ARDUIS SERVARE MENTEM
Remember to keep a calm mind in difficulties
Regarding Obama illegally receiving (actively raising) foreign funds for his campaign, I have been noticing the number of individuals who have stopped fraudulent charges on their credit cards to Obama of either $2000 or $2300. On ThreatsWatch this morning Jay wrote about a “recent disclosure of a ‘highly sophisticated credit-card fraud ring’ in Europe sending ID information to Pakistan.” Somewhere else, in a more vague memory, I read that Obama’s Columbia U. roommates, both Pakistanis, were raising foreign funds for his campaign. Anyone know anything else about this?
Also, we know there is a great big blank in Obama’s record of his years at Columbia. Ayers was in New York at the same time and they both went to or were members of the socialist organization there and I believe they both were community organizers in New York. This gets little mention — Obama’s community organization days are almost always identified as taking place in Chicago. Ocasionally Harlem is mentioned.
At any rate, I am making this connection because I believe Ayers (and through him “c”ommunists aka socialists) is/are involved in much, if not most, of Obama’s political progress and Presidential campaign. And Obama, Ayers, and the Pakistanis must have known each other. If Obama is to be President of the World, then campaign contributions from Pakistan, the Middle East and Persian Gulf, and Africa must be “legal” in communists’ and foreigners’ minds. And it must be thrilling to donate (steal) money from “wealthy white Americans” to elect the very man who will bring them (us) to their knees.
Obama releases Talking Points 12 hours before debate!
http://www.drudgereport.com/flashotp.htm
This was done to intimidate McCain not to bring up Ayers.
Ho-hum. Yes, I think this “unintentional” release of “talking points” was really quite intentional. There is nothing in the “talking points” beyond the flabbiest of cliches–totally predictable. I don’t get it–unless it’s a ploy to put McCain off-balance.
From Ace of Spades blog:
Trailer Park Common Sense (Kat-Mo)
Saturday night I was watching Fox News (go figure) and caught three morons (no relation to anyone here) and one half way decent lady talking about this election season being rough. Two Democrat talking heads were going on about the alleged racism of the McCain campaign. Their point is that, of course there is racism and McCain’s campaign is catering to it. Just exactly who is Palin talking to anyway when she’s talking to “Joe-Six-Pack”?
Isn’t she talking to all of those low-brow, low wage earners who live in trailers, drink beer, watch Fox News on their 10 year old tv and think its amusing to burp the alphabet? After all, isn’t that the only people who would be so crass as to disdain the Obama-messiah, going against the historical destiny of our nation to elect the first black president?
You know, my grandpa was kind of like Joe Biden’s dad. He was always saying really homey, cool stuff. Like, “Girly,” he always called me “girly” because I’m a girl. He’d say, “Girly, if you’re gonna be arrested for stealin’ a pack of cigarettes, you might as well steal a carton.”
It’s time that all the AoSHQ people came out of the closet and admit it. You live in trailer parks and drink beer. Or, at least, you have visited a trailer park or even driven by one a couple of times. You have definitely drank a beer or some other alcohol related beverage once in your life. Even if it was only communion wine at some friends wedding.
Of course, you support McCain. He is married to the ultimate queen of Joe Six Pack: the heiress of a beer distributor. That fact alone makes Cindy and John McCain tantamount to the Grand Dragons of AmeriKKKa. Every time Sarah Palin uses the word “Joe Six Pack” it’s obviously a coded signal to the rest of the Klan to leave the trailer park, burn crosses, drink more beer, burp the alphabet and vote for John McCain.
For the Hyde Park set, Joe Sixpack is a person to pity, look down upon and sooth their “guilt” with offers of “government programs” and “tax credits” that amount to less than a net increase in income of $500 a year. Won’t even get his kid braces. The Hyde Park set thinks Joe should have saved more money, got a better education and aborted at least one of his three children in order to be better off economically and live “the American Dream.”
Part of the Hyde Park set’s problem is that they only have the vaguest clue about economics as it associates to their personal life and economic choices, but really haven’t got a clue about Joe’s contribution to the economy. They complain about the price of arugala going up. Exactly who does Hyde Park think delivers the arugala to the super market?
What Joe Six Pack wants isn’t more government hand outs. Joe Six Pack wants the economy to pick back up so he can deliver more arugala and make his own money. He wants the price of oil, thus, diesel fuel, to go down and stay down. Joe Six Pack has been around for awhile and he he has about as much faith in “alternative energy” vehicles as he does the government. There isn’t one yet that can pull a load of arugala over the Rockies. He sure doesn’t have much faith in the government and the only thing he wants from the Hyde Park, arugala eating set is for them to open their wallets and buy more arugala.
Joe will be happy eating iceberg lettuce as long as he’s making enough money to pay the bills and get the kid some braces. And, he will live in the trailer and eat iceberg while he plans for a future where he might own a small fleet of trucks, maybe five or ten, where he’s delivering arugala two or three or ten times a day and his small business is making over $250,000 a year.
Joe Six Pack doesn’t need a business degree from Wharton to know that any time the government is talking about raising taxes on anybody while simultaneously talking about increased spending, Joe is going to get screwed. Some candidate can give Joe a tax break that nets him $500 a year more in spendable income, but he’s going to end up losing a couple thousand in the long run because companies paying higher taxes aren’t going to be buying as much product and are going to raise the prices on the stuff that Joe buys.
What’s that $500 going to do for Joe Six Pack then? His buying power has been essentially mitigated by government induced inflation. He might as well head out to his grill, light it up and toss that $500 on it to cook some cheap hamburgers while he drinks his six pack of beer.
When Obama is president, Joe Six Pack can look forward to his nightly news filled with Joe Biden and government surrogates explaining to him how they will now have to raise taxes on everybody in order to pay for the ever increasing deficit. It will be everybody’s patriotic duty to pay.
If Joe Six Pack has the audacity to complain about the lousy presidency of Obama, who raises taxes on oil and gasoline forcing the price to go back up to $4 or $5/gallon in order pay for these phantom “alternative energy” programs that still haven’t produced more or cheaper energy, and certainly no eighteen wheeler that can pull loads of product, he can look forward to being told that he is a racist, unpatriotic, idiot who just doesn’t understand how 10% inflation, the retraction of the economy and heating and fuel prices he can’t jump over is insuring national security.
The Hyde Park, arugala eaters just can’t figure out why Joe Six Pack consistently votes “against his economic interest.” Surely, they think, Joe Six Pack has to see that getting government hand outs in the form of “refundable” “tax credits” is better than earning his own money his own way. Even if it means giving up some economic and political freedom. And, having received this redistribution of other people’s wealth, he should be looking forward to the day when he finally makes enough of his own money to pay it back by supporting some other ignorant Joe Six Pack who hasn’t made it out of the trailer park under his own steam.
Joe Six Pack is supposed to sit down, shut up, take the government hand outs he is getting and drink his beer. He should be happy, too, because the “liberals” in control of the government haven’t outlawed beer. Yet. Gay marriage? Check. Running naked through the streets equals freedom of speech? Check. Drinking a six pack of beer and complaining about the socialist government? Soon to be illegal, if current activities are any indicator. He sure can’t smoke wherever he wants to and in some places they are already telling him what he can eat.
Joe Six Pack gets it. The more the government gives him, the more the government takes away. Just call it, “Trailer Park Common Sense.”
Allegedly, Joe Six Pack is the idiot.
The is no us in the US of A anymore. My fellow Americans is an oxymoron.

obama yesterday took credit for the soaring stock market. What’ll it be today?
heard McCain campaign had a fundraiser in New York last night w Sarah Palin and some of Hillary’s supporters…they raised half million dollars. Guess we all didn’t get over it did we??
Never. I will never “get over” what his campaign and the DNC leaders did to the best candidate in this race, her supporters, and our democratic process. I will never forget.
more people are reporting credit card charges by Obama campaign that are UNAUTHORIZED!!
His money-making apparatus will have to be worked out.
There was too much potential for fraud.
Look at PUMA, who said they raised 10 million for Hillary and then Hillary said, “Nope.”
Where did the money go?
I really wonder.
well they can work it out while they are sitting in jail for credit card fraud.
For sure….
Hillary raised 10 million for Obama
BARF!
Now, voter fraud by Acorn being investigated in Pennsylvania.
Wow! I had forgotten how Obama threw his “good friend” Coburn under the bus. How big is that bus anyway???
Its suspension is jacked way up high, and its got those big high tires like they use in monster-truck ralles for crushing all the little cars in sight. Lots of room under there.
the dow is sinking. the financial mess is getting worse and worse. its slowly getting very very dangerous.
I think of the steadiness of McCain & Palin and my worries subside.
“Golddust at my feet, on the sunny side of the street.”
Where’s the great Hoobert Heever when we need him?
According to Michelle Obama, the fix is already in
“My husband and I know that there is no law that will stop him from becoming the president, just because some American white racists are bringing up the issue of my husband’s adoption by his step father.”
In other words, according to the overzealous, you’re-all-racists wife of candidate for presidency Barack Hussein Obama, the fix is already in.
The candidate’s wife treated the Norway-based API as if it was already under the command of a Barack and Michelle-run White House.
With an arrogance that can only be described as stunning, Michelle Obama said API would earn an invite to hubby’s upcoming inauguration ceremony when he will be installed as the next President of the United States of America next year, if only they wrote a “good” story.

I think this story is a bot plant. It should be ignored. Do not spread it.
Why would a bot plant something like this?
The site looks pretty legit to me.
API has said they recorded the conversation and are going to release the tape. The bots are going crazy over this story with threats. Trying to intimidate them. If they produce the tapes, then what?

I want to thank you for your email.
API hereby confirms to you that the story is true and if the huge interest on this particular story continues, we will post the recording on our website in the next immediate days.
When we published the story we did not intend to cause any chaos but we are shocked by the huge interest the story is receiving from the Americans and the American Media.
Mrs Obama called us just to ask API to stop joining the mainstream hate online media that is trying to destroy her husband’s opportunity to get the presidency.
Our editorial will sit today and agree on how to release the information that will verify the story.
Very many media outlets are asking us to email them the recording but we think the best way to satisfy all at once is by publishing it on our website and people can retrieve it themselves.
We understand the urgency this may have but it is important for us that we do it right so that we do not land into problems with Obama’s just like you did while in Kenyan recently.
Yours Sincerely,

To Jerome Corsi,
We do not want to be misunderstood. We are not out to stop Obama from capturing the presidency.
We are not here to prove to people the story, but we will give proper verification so that people will understand that the story is true.
Soon, when we come with more information on the site, those who doubt the story will be surprised why Mrs Obama would choose to talk to us and not other media outlets.
We will bring out information on how she was connected to us, how she was convinced her story was safe with us and why she trusted API. And who introduced her to those who contacted API first before she personally took contact in an effort to ensure that API does not publish things on her husband that may be seen to be harmfull.
If we start dishing out audio to media outlets, we will be misunderstood. We do not want people to think that we published the story in order to spoil Obama’s chances to become the president.
Those who are contacting you demanding that the story should be verified now, should be directed by your media to check our website in the next day or two. All the information will be made available, but we must do it carefully.

Chief Editor Korir,
I understand your position. You should be aware that the reaction of my publishers and what I am getting from various news editors contacting me is that this may be a hoax. Your credibility and the credibility of your story will be increasingly in question the longer you postpone making a tape available. Right now, the Obama campaign is telling us that you are lying and that Michelle Obama never made any such call to you.

Sorry about that here is the link to the email exchange:

Damn…
just heard about another person, had 3 separate charges from Obama campaign on her credit card, unauthorized. When she called their campaign they tried to get her to leave the charges on. Her bank ended up taking them off.
Open thread, so I’ll feel free here.
I do think the country is ready to move to more responsible federal government.
I think Katrina shook everyone to their bones. It’s one thing to complain about interference. It’s quite another to realize that we’ve been supporting such an ineffectual laizee faire government.
That crisis was so mishandled that we’re still feeling the reverberations.
I want a responsible federal government, able to respond to people in a real sense.
I have no interest in continuing a Bush regime, which has gutted all the agencies which serve people. I have no interest in continuing to support corrupt CEOs. I worked for 5. McCain isn’t lying when he says: They are corrupt. These are basically sociopaths with a shine. They are money-mongerers. They will destroy stockholders in a heartbeat, without a blink of conscience.
And they have done so.
McCain is a risk. He’s Republican. Frankly, the primary reason he gets my vote is that he’s at a stage in life where nothing matters but doing good. I trust that.
Obama is a risk. He’s in the pocket of some very powerful forces. He may THINK he can do good, but I’m not sure he won’t compromise his way into the opposite.
I’m voting McCain.
And, seriously, it’s partially due to his age.
Remember, many of the Katrina woes were created by the politicians and leaders in Louisiana, both black and white. Please don’t pin it all on the Feds.
Oh, I so disagree.
LA is a very poor state. The Federal govt is in charge of the levees, and there’s not a dang thing LA politicians could do to get help to address the problem.
What I’m talking about is federal dollars spent in driving around trucks with ice and never getting to a location, FEMA trailers polluted, basics missing.
The entire world watched. The entire world was horrified.
THAT was the Republican downfall. Not the war.
It was Katrina.
Wrong, New Orleans had a Levee Board who had Fed and State money thrown at it, and the levees sure didn’t see that money. Katrina exposed a dark hole in LA politics. LA is PROUD of its corruption, where family power matters and will ruthlessly retain and pursue power.
New Orleans is the Chicago of the South.
Thank you, NObama, I saw some of the corruption when I was in New Orleans for Mardi Gras in the 80’s. Yeah, so what happened to all that money from the Feds for the infrastructure. Hmm, could it be in the homes of those upstandin’ poleeeteeeshans? Youbetcha!
AnninCa, go play another tune on your heartbreakin’ violin. This one didn’t catch on.
Pay no heed to Murder. He’s a Neanderthal from the ‘bot squad.
Yes, all the record vacation days for the GWB White House not dare be interrupted by Katrina. Condi may have even missed a shoe sale somewhere…
OT, Although it isn’t about Palin, it is a kind of pay-back for her.
The NY Post is carrying a story on its front page about Madonna and Ritchie (the front page! and there’s no coverage on ACORN!). Read the comments below, and you will find many readers are with Sarah Palin.
The POS, Madonna, will lose half her fortune to a British flake! Ha! Perfect!
Sorry, forgot the link:
http://www.nypost.com/seven/10152008/news/nationalnews/splitsville_at_last_for_madonna_133697.htm
Madonna is a no talent bleached blonde face lifted scag. Got news for her, Todd Palin wouldn’t touch her with a ten foot pole. Sarah has more talent in her trigger finger than “Madge” has in her whole overexposed scrawny ugly body. Madonna who essentially “bought” an african baby from his father, a real humanitarian would have just supported the father so he could raise his OWN c
Northland Couple Warns of Political Credit Card Fraud
Tuesday, 07 Oct 2008,
NORTH KANSAS CITY, MO. — A North Kansas City couple has been left scratching their heads after they became the victims of a political scam.
Steve and Rachel Larman say a strange credit card charge appeared on their statement this month — a $2300 donation to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. The Larman’s say they don’t want this to be about their political affiliation, but they say they’re not about to give the Obama campaign any help from their pocketbook.
They said they notified Chase, their credit card bank, to report the fraud.
“(They) said that they were familiar with this,” said Steve Larman. “It was fraud, they believe through telemarketing but they were going to be doing some more investigations.”
The Larman’s don’t want their politics to enter into what is essentially just a fraudulent charge. But they say that the charge involves the Obama campaign adds insult to injury for the registered Republicans.
“They (Chase) kept on asking me ‘are you sure you wouldnt have gone to a site in support of Obama’,” said Rachel Larman. “And I repeatedly said ‘Im voting for McCain – I would not be going to an Obama site’.”
Chase dropped the charge from the Larman’s card. The couple is thankful that they caught the charge on the card, but worried that others may not see that type of fraud on their own credit cards before it’s too late.
“You always get emails saying be on the lookout,” said Rachel. “So I just wanted to get the word out, that there’s someone out there perpetrating this against people, and to pay attention.”
The Obama campaign said they were aware of the Larman’s story, but did not have any comment.

I honestly wish that the clintons were in charge. the economy is crashing. THEY know how to handle it. in terms of the economy, McCain is average. Obama would be a disaster. anybody who expects obama to handle the economy as deftly and precisely as the Clintons are going to be badly disappointed. Its exactly the wrong time to take a risk with obama.
Benny, i agree about Obama, but i’m actually pleasantly surprised by a lot of McCain’s economic plan, but i’m no expert either. I think we would have to trust McCain to get the right kind of policy designers on it.
Beyond personal economic expertise though, the real problem any good president this term is going to face in addressing our economy is Congress! OMW! I just hate to think of what a cancer this radical nutjob Legislature is going to be over the next 4 years! Only so much a president can do to counter this kind of Imbalance of Power.
May God preserve & protect us!
Have you ever noticed how much Barfy blinks when he gets annoyed? Watch tonight. He’ll stutter and blink like you won’t believe!
He also sticks his finger in the air a lot to interrupt and purses his lips. We’ve seen it all before, and then afterward, the MSM will declare that he was presidential! Funny, to me he looks like a spoiled brat.
Rendell said today that PA is still in play. Interesting, huh?
I thought that was interesting, anyway. I like him a lot, and I think he knows PA precisely.
He knows which suburbs even are waffling.
Everyone knows the voter’s name in the PR piece is not really Mickey Mouse.
His real name is Throatwarbler Mangrove….
…though it is spelled “Graham’s Raymond Luxury-Yacht, Jr.” It’s been a while since his dad was on television and some people may mistake one for the other. He probably still plans on voting abroad, much like he does with political donations.
Repeating what he is saying actually reinforces the message. The economy is horrid and McCain is a modern Cpt.Queeg gone far past the point of return.
People, listen up!!!….The so called talking points “accidentally released” for Obama’s debate tonight was no accident at all…Anyone with half a brain can see that the “talking points” are to make Obama look like a knight in shining armor and were INTENTIONALLY put out as propaganda.
As far as the API Michelle rant, the source (API) says it has the audio tape of the conversation and will post it on their website later…We will see!!
Here we go again with another “Michelle tape” this was done in the primaries with the infamous “whitey tape” that the Obama camp even responded to by leaking “clarifications” as to what she said. Bottom line is it distracted us back then and this is going to once again take us away from ACORN, Ayers, etc.
Notice Obama’s talking points about McCain”erratic” .Do you think anyone would question his prevarication? Do you think he is “to be clear” decisive? Apparently the media dn get the irony of Obama’s projecting onto McCain his own issues.
Obama uses the term steady to describe himself. Um isn’t that the term used most frequently to describe Bush?
The exact same tactics are being used against McCain that were used against Hillary. He is truly running against the entire msm.
Obama also uses “um” and “y’know” and “let me be clear” as fillers why he’s trying to think of what lie/spin/bs he’s going to say, without really saying anything. In other words, he doesn’t want to take a position b/c he’ll probably have to backtrack/recant later b/c he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Ooh, goody, a game…
“Look, I’ve always said.”

Ageism hasn’t been well defined yet. I think he’s employing ageims.
However, it’s not anywhere close to being as popular as defining code for racism.
He’s ageist, in my opinion.
Definitely.
And I’m definitely one who views him as a false liberal as a result.
But I think I may not be the average thinker.
I notice among my friends, who are dealing with aging parents, there’s a lot of ageism and resentment.
I guess older people should feel glad there’s no ice flows. Otherwise, they might be put out on them.

Now I feel that I know everything I need to know about BO, his campaign from its early start, his career, his associations, his training, the purpose for his labor, of the Democratic party of the present day, of the leadership of the democratic party, the hubris of his campaign staff, the way and the reason they answer or do answer or address current questions on relevant issues or concerns, etc. etc.
These people, all of them, but beginning with BO are set on an specific course to create ‘chaos.’ The more chaos, disorder, uncertainty and confusion about each Independence issue is what rationalizes the whole object and goals. Chaos is what leads to the meme ‘CHANGING AMERICA,’ ‘CHANGING THE WORLD,’ AND ‘HOPE.’ Nothing else is the matter. They have no interest in solving one single miser problem or doing anything positive to solve any issues.
Case in point.
Pelozi yesterday revealed a proposal to bring to the attention of Congress a plan to issue a new stimulus package worth 300 billion dollars.
This lady is not a ignorant person. She knew exactly what she was doing. It was specifically design to derail the stock market recovery by introducing uncertainty and dependency (in other words – fear). Today the market crashed again close to 500 points. This was due not by bad news from the retail sector but by news that the retail sector was dependent on the government for a bailout.
All of it can be summarize as an appetite for chaos in order to legitimize and usher the election of BO.
I don’t follow this one.
The stock market is going to surge and crash for a long time.
Buckle up.
The stock market is not a barometer of Pelosi’s comments. It’s well past her.
It surge too high yesterday. It’s back down today.
It’s swinging wildly.
Here’s the beauty of the stocks. It reflects emotional judgments about the true condition of the economy.
GE is tanking. Airlines…in a mess. Hospitality……in a mess. Export? *ha!*
We’re not producing anything.
We’re strictly a consumer economy, with no way to actually pay our bills.
It’s not rocket science.
This economy has tanked, and all the government is doing is trying to land our blow so that it doesn’t kill everyone.
There’s no “rescue” to this situation. You can’t rescue a country that produces nothing.
We are GB 20 years ago.
Get ready.
The good news to me….GB has survived.
Well, yes, you have good points. But inside your points are the issue of ‘emotional judgments.’
The country has a limited number of leaders. Leaders are entrusted with the responsibility to lead. Their words as Barky says, mean something.
Leaders like Pelozi already know that what she says in a given evening will carry water all the way to the beach. She knows. Just like all the other leaders know.
The market had recovered somewhat from the previous bad week. There was absolutely no need to preempt today’s retail reports. No need to preempt them. She preempted them knowingly and purposely to sabotage the debate and influence the next three weeks. She knew what she was doing. She’s not a dunce.
I think you nailed it about Pelosi. It’s disgusting.
Pelosi has a blow hard article in USA today, spreading her horseshit where ever they will print it. I can’t believe I was so proud the day they named her Speaker of the House. I can’t believe it.
She has the lowest approval rating EVER.
That’s a cold comfort.
The McCain camp should be pushing that more: Do you really want Obama in the White House with Pelosi controlling the House? If they remind people that Pelosi will be given much more power, they will recoil in horror.
Actually, McCain hit on that quite well yesterday at a rally. I’m guessing it will continue to come up, because this Legislature has a historic low approval rating, as deep as 9% at times.
I think it is also important to remember that the Dow only represents 30 companies.
If you wanted to make things look bad it would be easy to target those companies for political reasons.
The troubles started around the time of the first debate and people with any intellectual integrity know that debates aren’t Obama’s strong suit.
Not everyone’s swallowed Obama’s Kool-Aid. Pass it on!
I was going to pass it on, but the guy next to me is staring off at the horizon with a silly grin on his face.
LOL!! The same guy is sitting next to me with greasy hair and a tie-dye t-shirt on with a rainbow on it.
The John McCain ‘talking points’ for tonight’s debate were also publicized on the Internet just a couple of days ago, or so. I thought it was kind of stupid to do that… Giving the chance to BHO to ‘copy’ and ‘paste’…? It was on the home page of MSN, if I am not mistaken. Can someone else saw it?
I was just listening to Bill O on the radio and someone called in and said they saw an Obama’12 bumper sticker!!! Can you believe?! So, he’s got this one buttoned-up(insert sarcasm) and now onto 2012!
Sorry, I am so upset that I am making all kind of mistakes. Should I say: Did someone else see it? (or something like that). I am so upset. Talking to other neighbors about this elections, almost everyone in my building are BHO’s ‘fans’. The main reason is because “he is graduated from the Harvard School”!!!!!!!! (and they don’t want 4 more years of the same). And these neighbors are supposed to be white ‘well educated’, (semi-professionals I would say), but, unfortunately, deaf and blind democrats.
More like Dumbocrats.
OT-did anyone read the article in Men’s Health (does Jan Wenner own this?) by Oliver Stone/ He oozed love for Barack and he also said he was “ashamed to be an American” WTF, then move to Saudi Arabia you asshat. Does anyone else think that the movie “W” is despicable? I have always hated Bush but this crap has got to stop.
W is despicable–I don’t have any love for Bush but that’s more irresponsible, anti-American bile from liberal Hollywood. Oliver Stone is a wackjob–always has been.
well, what do you do when half the nation is bent upon destroying it in the eyes of the world & in the eyes of it’s people?
So sad. But speaking of sad, when was the last time Oliver Stone even made an entertaining movie? I guess there is something in ‘W’ that narrates his own self-loathing.
RNC no longer advertising in Maine and WI, described on the CBS radio news as “traditional Democrat strongholds”….putting efforts into PA….

In the spirit of full disclosure my leanings are somewhat conservative and I have voted Republican years past, and probably have disagreements with many of you.
As a vistor to your site it would not be proper to be disrespectful, so my intent here is to proffer that on which we agree.
Although I’m conservative, I would not be happy with extreme right Republican control of government with no opposition. Where we agree here is we have a far left candidate, and a far left congress.
I’m relieved to find there are some thoughtful Americans as revealed by this blog.
It will fall to sensible Democrats and independents to halt this radical swing to the left, as Republicans have been neutered. I just hope this site represents more of you than the MSM have portrayed.
Thank you for enduring my intrusion. Kudos re “Trailer Park Common Sense”
The former Hillary backer and long time friend Lynn Forester de Rothschild was just on Neil Cavuto.
Neil asked her about Hillary’s remarks yesterday that her supporters should back Obama and not McCain.
de Rothschild said her dear friend would have some serious explaining to do if BO is elected and the economy tanks!
From Politico article “McCain talks economy with Hillary” is this. I am absolutley tickled that she is tickled!
Just so everyone knows, Farrakhan also lives just down the street, in the same neighborhood.
