    thanks!

      Obama has work to do in his base, as well: Among Democrats who supported Hillary Clinton for president, about one in four, 24 percent, prefer McCain over Obama, and 13 percent pick someone else or say they wouldn’t vote. Those are essentially unchanged from an ABC/Post poll last month, before Clinton suspended her campaign and offered Obama a fulsome endorsement.

      http://abcnews.go.com/PollingUnit/Vote2008/story?id=5177916&page=1

      37 percent of 18 million is a losing number for sure.

      • beebop

        In the Washington Post article about the same poll, more bad news for Barry … this time, the Independent voters ….

        In the first Washington Post-ABC News poll since the Democratic nomination contest ended, Obama and McCain are even among political independents, a shift toward the presumptive Republican nominee over the past month. On the issues, independents see McCain as more credible on fighting terrorism and are split evenly on who is the stronger leader and better on the Iraq war. But on other key attributes and issues — including the economy — Obama has advantages among independents

        And not one 527 yet ….

        • standard

          Will is a treasure.

      • Democrat

        Then why is Obama AHEAD in every national poll?

        • ulahane

          Like he was ahead in the New Hampshire primary polls?

          • standard

            They’re gonna keep him artificially pumped up until the after the primary.

            • standard

              after the convention, that is.

        • NY still loves Hillary

          Because you see what you want to see and not reality.

        • joe

          Obama has consistently overpolled throughout the race. It is ussually at least a 3-4 point overvote for Barry in most polls, and Barry has not outperformed the polls since Wisconsin in February.

          If Mac is only three points down now, he’s in VERY good shape!!

          • beebop

            Don’t try to insert reality into their world. November comes soon enough. By then he will be so hobbled and bleeding that the sharks in Chicago will be circling … does any other city turn on a loser faster? hahahahaha

        • bert

          His lead in national polls is generally within the matgin of error. So that “lead” is VERY WEAK or even non-existant. That and a slight lead in national polls does not always lead to a state by state win in Electoral votes.

          • bert

        That exit rate is holding steady. It used to be in the low 20′s at the beginning of the race. It climbed steadily and seems to be levelling off at close to the highest exit rate of 40%.

        I’m surprised. I’m also convinced that when we start voting, that number will be higher.

    • Seattle Moss

      What reallt disgusts me folks is how these obamatrolls all assume we’re just bitter white ladies. please read below

      Comment by Seattle Moss | 2008-06-17 12:25:20

      Big mistake Phil 101..
      You get an F for assuming I’m a woman.
      I’m actually a 6′4″ white male that owns a business employing 100 people.
      unlike wussies like you, I look for excellence in all people whether they be male or female. Hillary was obviously the best choice and was denied the nomination through blatant sexism.
      I don’t have a problem with women being in positions of power.
      In fact I embrace equality of the sexes.
      I have the best running most profitable plant in town in my industry because I have the first female plant manager in the industry.
      What happened to Hillary is a call to arms for which I’m willing to defend!

  • Seattle Moss

    Wow!!!
    McCain/Clinton ticket

    Now that would be music to my ears.

    Throw off the yoke of the radical right and the radical left.
    Please McCain, do the right thing for America!!

    • Joe

      My wife said the same thing. She would gladly vote for a McCain/Clinton ticket than vote for the Selected One.

    • Diana

      Ditto! I am so happy to see other’s saying the same thing. When everyone was saying Obama/Clinton would be a dream ticket. I kept thinking no Clinton/McCain or McCain/Clinton ticket. Two moderates reaching their hands across the table to truly work for the betterment of this country. For the people of this country. Far right or Far left will not bring unity it will only bring further division. We’ve been divided for far too long. Hard core conservative didn’t want McCain. Hard core liberals didn’t want Clinton, but look what both accomplished. I think the true majority in this country travel the middle road. We want our politicians to work together for us, and our future generations. Many conservatives with liberal ideas. Many liberals with conservative ones. We’re not the problem. It’s the government that is consistantly promoting division to divert our attention from the real issues…if we’re constantly at each other’s throat we cannot solve our problems. There is only further division. I’ve alway been a firm believer in United We Shall and Will Remain Standing. Divided We Will Fall.

      • Seattle Moss

        Diane,
        You couldn’t have said it any better.
        Everyone needs to start thinking

        MCCAIN/CLINTON 08

        LETS SAVE AMERICA TODAY!!

      • Hope Floats

        I would be very excited about a McCain / Clinton ticket in 08.

      • David

        As a moderate conservative republican I LOVE this idea!!!!!!!!!! You are spot on Diana! The vast majority of Americans are moderates looking for solutions.

        • standard

          My 90 year old grandfather is so depressed about Obama, he says he isn’t going to vote, but I bet McCain/Clinton would get him to the polls.

        • stodghie

          the question is would the repub base bolt with such a ticket.

          • Seattle Moss

            Where are they going to bolt to…Mars

    • kanaughty

      that would be my dream ticket, although i still want hillary as president someday… but otherwise on this ticket she would probably be the incumbent in 4 years since i am not sure if mccain wants to run again then… that would be weird then cause then what would we do, have a dem vs. a dem or a dem vs. a republican? hmmmm. sounds interesting if it all works out right

  • Brandon

    What I dont understand is, why are some people against Obama even if “their” candidate is on the ticket? To my eyes at least, it comes off as a smack in the face Of Hillary Clinton, that people who supposedly support her so much that they would vote against a candidate that didn’t share her views out if some twisted view of revenge. I believe Obama will not picker her persicly because of people like Mr. Bower, because if you take him at face value, it would make no difference whatsoever.

    • hillaryfighter

      Brandon,

      Different voters will have different reasons in making their choices. I was originally open to bambi/hillary ticket, but no more.

      Bambi simply can’t be trusted, it’s a nightmare for Clinton to tango with his Chicago mafia. To be honest with you, the more I have learned about bambi over the past few weeks from a variety of sites, the more frightened I am. He will make a George W. Bush’s 8 years look like a heaven.

      I know I’m asking too much, but if Clinton had the utimate guts, she sould run as an independent, she will NOT be able to win in Nov, but that’s a sure way to finish bambi and his terror once and for all.
      The republic will be saved.

      A bambi white house together with his mobs will gurantee some street violence we have not witnessed for 20/30 years. It IS THAT scary.

          How about the Obama supporters in Ohio who physically assaulted a group of elderly female Clinton supporters. I never did hear him say anything against it. So apparently in the Obamanation it is ok to assault little old ladies.

          Those you see following the Obamessiah are not Democrats, though the species may try to look similar. They are in fact nothing but JACKASSES!

          I do not hate him. I just will never vote for him because he is an unqualified hypocrite with terrible judgment and a weak character.

    • Hillcrat

      What I dont understand is, why are some people against Obama even if “their” candidate is on the ticket?

      Speaking for myself, “my candidate Hillary Clinton” MUST be on TOP of the ticket to get my vote! Get it.

      By the way the “if” in your question is telling. You and many others have said you DO NOT want Hillary on the ticket, so why come down here and give us a lecture when you feel the same??

      By the way, the “many similiraties” between Hillary’s and Obambi’s policies are mainly because…um…uh….HE COPIED HER’S!!

      And we DO SUPPORT HER and ONLY HER…NO ONE ELSE MAKE’S THE CUT!

    • jwrjr

      People oppose Obama because he has no legislative achievements of his own (plenty where he latched onto somebody else’s work), he associates with terrorists past and present, and he spent 20 years and much money at a church whose teachings give a definite appearance that he will be a strong advocate for the AA community at the expense of everybody else. No doubt the other people who frequent this site can fill in the many places that I have missed.

      • Brandon

        I believe your first accusation’s to be true, and is why my voting for him is in jeopardy. The rest of your statement is absurd and you know it. This is not Freerepublic, Hillary Clinton wouldn’t want you making up things. Just because I ask to understand does not mean I am devoid of knowledge.

        • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3_jh2dO78U&feature=related Jeremiah God Damn AmeriKKKa Wright

          clearly you are devoid of knowledge.

          Otherwise you would now that all three statements are very very factual.

          Please do yourself a favor and fully investigate obama…and that would require going to places on the not other than huffington post or the obama campaign website.

          There is a massive amount of information out there.

          Try the investigative articles by evelyn pringle
          here:

          http://www.opednews.com/author/author58.html

          Again, none of his statements were absurd and if you actually expose yourself to news reporting on obama that is not leg tingly and all puff promotion pieces you would find him as frightening as we do.

      Hillary was a Goldwater Republican first, so I trust her much better on foreign affairs and believe she would have more guts and better judgment in a dangerous world.
      Obama is simply naive thinking that we can surrender our position in the world, talk to terrorists and everything will be OK.

            I’m really sorry that the world is not a utopia like they’re teaching you in college.
            I don’t want America defeated in the world. I don’t want Iran developing a nuclear bomb and for them to control Iraq and the middle east after we leave.
            I guess it boils down to a simple equation.
            Either the United States and it’s allies control the worlds vital interests or they do.

      Arrogance, “I can get Hillary’s voters, but do not think she could get mine”.

      Hate, Michelle Obama on Bill Clinton, “I could just claw his eyes out”, as if she, or Obama had ever come even close to serving this country, and other countries, as well as Bill Clinton has.

      And on and on!

      Hillary Clinton could and would make things better as VP, but she could not give Obama the merits he sorely lacks.

      So no Obama, with or without HRC.

      • kanaughty

        yes, i just don’t want hillary taking all the blame when bo’s stuff hits the fan because he ends up being a more incompetent president than the one we have now. so i just don’t want her anywhere near his corrupt administration. if he is going down, i do not want her to go down with him. it would ruin her legacy and her future to serve us the people. she deserves better, to play by her own rules for us, not to have to push an obama kool-aid line… she has worked too hard to accept 2nd and also to be involved in that scam of a candidate in any way shape or form… hillary needs to stay on her own where she shines her best for us. she will get this party back for us from those damned elites, but she can only do that by staying away from bo and gang…

    • Mirlo

      Brandon, as Mr. Bowers said, the democratic priciple has been violated, Obama was Selected, not legitimately elected. By the way, I don’t agree that he is the nominee just yet. He is the presumptive nominee and a lot can happen until Denver.

      If the democratic principle is violated in the face of America and the world, this calls for strong action. If it is not upheld, the sovereign (speak the people in a Democracy) must protest with whatever legal means that are available to them.

    • Hope Floats

      McCain is the best candidate the Republicans could run this year. He may be a hawk and have a different stand on abortion, but he has strong bipartisan credentials.

      Look at McCain’s record on the big issues of our time: Changing the strategy in the war, being for climate change, cranking down on pork barrel spending, being against earmarks, reaching across even on things that are controversial like campaign finance reform. As a United States Senator. Not casting a vote as a state legislator, but leading, being the person that’s in the middle of it.

      Obama was against Gang of 14, that gave us Justice Roberts and Alito… Obama was even against that. (Yet he was talked out of voting for Roberts by an aide.) McCain was right in the middle of it, leading that bipartisan charge. Whether it’s energy, whether it’s ethics, whether it’s reform, whether it’s spending, McCain time and time again has been saying I’m willing to lead, I’m willing to take risks. We have not seen that kind boldness from Obama.

    • http://deleted AnninCa

      Not everybody is. A very large majority of Hillary voters still want her as the VP on the ticket.

      I don’t. I think it’s patently ridiculous. I considered it for awhile, got to the spot where if that’s what SHE wanted, then fine. I was relieved yesterday to read her state firmly, “I’m not in the running.”

      She’s heads above him in far too many ways to take the slot of VP. Moreover, she ended with the popular vote lead and a new-found respect for her from people who didn’t particularly like her in the beginning. Why squander that by letting the press beat up on her instead of on him?

      Why take the brunt of every mistake he makes?

      And, it’s clear, that’s exactly what would happen. It happened all the primary season. He screws up. Her negatives went up! LOL*

      So no way, no how.

      She’s on the cover this week of magazines as a true woman hero. No need to let Obama ruin that for her.

    • It’s Not Me

      Why should Hillary, with all her experience, play second fiddle to a NOBODY loser? She’s too good for him.

      Also, why the hell should Hillary help that pig get elected? She’s a racist, remember? Racists can’t help loser candidates get elected. He has no intentions of putting her on the ticket anyway. Michelle HATES Hillary and Bill.

      I would never vote for BO. PERIOD. He’s unqualified and lacks character.

      I would, however, vote for McCain.Clinton…YES I WOULD!

  • jharp

    I honestly cannot believe what I hear.

    Obama, Clinton, have almost no difference in policy.

    McCain has big differences with both of them.

    Will Bowers, “we don’t like the selection process” therefore we are going to vote for the candidate who we disagree with on everything.

    Go figure. The world has gone mad.

      You guys come on here and post the same exact drivel under different names.

      We KNOW you are Obama paid bloggers. So you go tell AxelROVE I’m voting for McCain Because…

      If McCain is good enough to be John Kerry’s VP in 2004, McCain is good enough for my protest vote in November.Article:

      The enthusiasm of Democrats for Mr. McCain, an Arizona Republican, is so high that even some who have been mentioned as possible Kerry running mates — including Senator Bill Nelson of Florida and Bob Kerrey, the former Nebraska senator — are spinning scenarios about a ”unity government,” effectively giving Mr. Kerry a green light to reach across the political aisle and extend an offer.

      ”Senator McCain would not have to leave his party,” Mr. Kerrey said. ”He could remain a Republican, would be given some authority over selection of cabinet people. The only thing he would have to do is say, ‘I’m not going to appoint any judges who would overturn Roe v. Wade,’ ” the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion, which Mr. McCain has said he opposes.

      Chris Lehane, a Democratic strategist who once worked for Mr. Kerry, said such a ticket ”would be the political equivalent of the Yankees signing A-Rod,” referring to Alex Rodriguez, the team’s star third baseman.

      Mr. Kerry, the presumptive Democratic nominee, ”continues to be interested in” Mr. McCain, a fellow Vietnam veteran whom Kerry aides describe as the candidate’s best friend in the Senate, as a running mate, said one longtime Democratic official who works for the Kerry campaign.

      There are clear differences in policy. Obama is a tax and spend Dem. Hillary is not.

      Obama is a kick-back to the 60s. Hillary was far more progressive.

      Frankly, McCain is more progressive than Obama on energy policies, immigration, and much better prepared on foreign policy.

    Obama says would consider corporate tax cut: report

    NEW YORK (Reuters) – Democrat Barack Obama said he would consider trimming corporate tax rates as part of a simplification of the tax code if he is elected to the White House, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

    Obama said the tax code had too many loopholes and other special breaks for some companies.

    “How much you pay in taxes as a corporation a lot of times is going to depend on how good your lobbyist is,” the Illinois senator told the newspaper in an interview.

    “If we could eliminate loopholes in taxes, create a level playing field, then I think there’s the possibility to reducing corporate rates.”

    Obama wants to raise taxes on middle income families and lower taxes on corporations.

    Is Obama a Democrat or a republican?

    • Brandon

      Just as a point of information, Corporations dont pay much in taxes not because of low taxes, but because there are many loopholes to avoid paying them, the net would be an increase in taxes for corporation. Either way, voting on the issues should be something people look to, you might want to be honest on how you convey issues to people, as what you just did was highly dishonest.

        brandon. stop being a tool there was nothing dishonest at all there.

        Obama wants to raise taxes on the middle class and his social security taxes and capital gains taxes do precisely that.

        • UKforDems

          The US Government is running huge deficits; of course tax increases are necessary.

      • researchguy66

        For your information, Corporations only act as middlemen for consumers’ taxes.

        Corporate taxation is extremely regressive in that it drives up the cost of goods and services for the very people who are least likely to be able to afford it.

    • Susan1968

      Obama is a panderder to corporations. That’s what this is all about.

      And yes he is raising payroll and SS taxes on middle class Americans.

      As Michelle (Barack’s Bitter Half) Obama says:

      “We want a bigger piece of your pie!”

      Watch Michelle on “The View” Wednesday, if we’re lucky she’ll call Elizabeth: Whitey.

      Because for the first time in her life, Michelle is proud to be an American.

      Obama wants to double the capital gains tax which will cause the stock market to collapse.
      That will affect 100 million people.

      • jharp

        Wrong.

        It will affect 300 million people.

        It’ll cost about 50 million a few dollars.

        And a couple of thousand millions of dollars.

        And we’ll all be better off.

        • Seattle Moss

          Trying telling that to all the people I know that have 50k or less invested that depend on stocks to bridge the gap in their fixed incomes.

            Right, all those hard working Americnas who’s pensions and 401Ks are invested in that market.

        • http://deleted AnninCa

          Whoa, them’s fighting words. As a smaller investor, I can tell you what will happen. My broker will say, We can’t afford to sell.

          That means, investment slows.

          Smart? Not at all. The capital gains tax could go up a very small amount….maybe…..and not affect the market adversely.

          Bush didn’t do everything bad. That was one tax cut that benefitted the country.

      • Hope Floats

        Cutting the top tax rate in half has resulted in much more income being reported and taxed in every country that tried it — the US, UK, NZ and India, for example. Some mistakenly imagined that proved the rich suddenly became richer when US tax rates fell from 1986 to 1988. What it actually proved was that the rich reported more taxable income when tax rates on an extra dollar became more reasonable. If Obama doubles the capital gains tax rate during a recession, it is not taking money from hedge fund managers and giving it to the little people. Hedge fund managers will simply move their money around, and less revenue will be reported.

    • Mirlo

      And yet, one of his biggest bundlers had just employed lobbyists back in Feb. to keep up legislation that protects certain vey profitable company tax loopholes! Once again, words do not match actions of Sen. Obama! Beware!

    • Hope Floats

      His economic advisers are NEOCONS! Nobody gets it. The rats put their Manchurian candidate on the other side. The Republican brand name is poison. Obama, for his big money Wall St. corrupt handlers like Joseph Nye, George Soros and Jay Rockefeller, respresents “soft power.” He is the friendly new face who will continue Bush policy, while a bunch of wet-behind the ears high school kids keep screaming about “McBush.” God, I miss the days when they just watched MTV and stayed off the internet.

    • kanaughty

      i still say he is actually a republican, he said himself that if he thought he could be a republican to get farther politically, he would have been. so he actually just chose dem because it could get him farther faster politically. so the true dem, the one who chose to be a dem because she was a dem at heart was hillary. she used to be a republican, did not like what she saw in that people weren’t as important, so turned to being a democrat to serve the people in the true meaning of the word public servant..

  • Brandon

    I am trying very hard to understand. Hate is a strong word that I do not throw around lightly. I looked at the platforms of both candidates, Obama is down the line with clinton on almost everything, while McCain is the opposite of Clinton on almost everything. I cant Imagine having that knd of bitterness in me in play for an election of teh most powerful person on the planet, I would like to know where it stems from.

    • Hillcrat

      FYI Brandon….I turned “bitter” the day Obambi/Dean/Pelosi/MSM/Axelskunk destroyed our Democratic Party!

      • Brandon

        you do realize that even with MI/FL at full strength, she would have lost right? And yes, you are bitter. This is my problem I guess, by the math, it would have gotten her closer, but not enough to take over the lead. So really, your “bitterness” was unavoidable, so why would anyone seek to appease you?

        • Hillcrat

          The FACT is Brandon NEITHER would have had the total needed delegates, therefore, it would have been resolved in the August convention. You know when the “real delegate/SD voting” counts.

          Aren’t you being paid to ‘sway us’ to think Obambi is The One?

        • http://obamafact.blogspot.com/ Mel

          Frs ff Brdon, did Obama get 2110 pledged delegates? I will answer you, NO he did not, so he is not the nominee and he did not win, got that part? Good!
          Next, your nice routine was where 2 months ago when all the slandering and vile things were being said?

          So please tell Axelrod to keep his attempts at fooling people for those who are fools and do not play into your pathetic attempts at promoting someone who frankly has no right to assume he is anything, since he did not win the nomination with PLEDGED DELEGATES totaling 2109.

          Thank you and run along now time for your next lesson on american politics 101, not Obama’s class on fooling the system for self gain!

        • Seattle Moss

          If those primaries had counted on the date given Hillary would have had the momentum.
          SC wasn’t penalized for moving up their primary and the reason as stated by Dean was that he wanted to front load minority states.
          For that reason the Democrats lost me.

        • cellocat

          You don’t actually know that; timing is critical in a primary campaign after all. If FL and MI had been given full delegates just after they voted, or, if Obama hadn’t blocked the revote, the momentum would have been all on Hillary’s side, and she probably would have won.

          • Seattle Moss

            I do actually know that.
            On election night CNN said that FL and MI were just Beauty contests.
            If they counted then it would have been huge.

            As a result of Dean’s folly both will vote republican this year

        • beebop

          Denying her the momentum from these two HUGE victories is difficult to calculate. But certainly easier to predict than how many voters stayed home in Michigan ….

Wouldn’t it have been wiser to revote both Michigan and Florida and at least LOOKED like you cared about the Democrats that reside there and THEN earn unity?

    Excellent interview on the tape. I liked his response regarding Hillary on the ticket and the fact that a McCain/Clinton ticket would be very special – remarkable. And it would – two moderates who like each other and love America. McCain wants a universal health care for Americans and this would be a wondrous thing for Hillary to try and get through with the two arms of congress.

    Of course it would be best to have Hillary be President Elect of the Democratic Party, and she should be, but for the fact the DNC and Obama have decided to steal the democratic process and take it to the most undemocratic city of Chicago, in America, tells the story.

    Wonder if the FBI are watching all this unfold and what they will do.

    Hillary got 18 million POPULAR votes and if she was the Nominee she would get far far more, because of all the people who voted for Obama and want their votes back. Yes, they didn’t know who he was, they only thought – he spoke well with speeches he did not write. So when his background – his church and pastors came out bit by bit and still not all – not nearly all – that changed the minds of many people who had voted for him.

    And those same people, the more they saw Hillary and listened to her and recognized her passion for their lives and getting things done for them properly – then they would vote for her, if they could take their votes back.

    The media have sins to answer for and will get that boomerang they threw out against true democracy.

  • typical.white.person

    It’s Sh*t like this why I will never vote for McCain:

    Senators John McCain and Barack Obama released their Senate financial disclosure statements on Friday, revealing that Mr. McCain and his wife had at least $225,000 in credit card debt and that Mr. Obama and his wife had put more than $200,000 into college funds for their daughters.

    The bulk of the McCains’ obligations stemmed from a pair of American Express credit cards that are held in Cindy McCain’s name. According to the disclosure reports, which present information on debts in a range rather than providing a precise figure, Mrs. McCain owed $100,000 to $250,000 on each card.

    Another charge card, held by what was described as a “dependent child,” had also accumulated debts of $15,000 to $50,000. In addition, a credit card held jointly by the couple was carrying $10,000 to $15,000 in debt, the filing indicated, at a stiff 25.99 percent interest rate.

    I dunno. I pay off credit cards every month. To do otherwise, especially for multi, multi-millionaires like the McCains is the height of irresponsibility.

    And a credit card with a 25.99% INTEREST RATE! Who could be so effing stupid?

    The last thing we need is an idiot like that in the White House.

    Vote for McCain? Never! But, Obama also sucks.

    • Susan1968

      Typical White Person.

      You spend too much time at HuffPo.

      Let me educate you:

      There is no interest acrued on American Express Black cards.

      The Black Card allows approved people to hold that amount of debt for up to six months.

      Millionaires have better things to do with their cash. Like invest it for six months at a time.

      The Amex Back Card enables them to do so.

      Amex makes money on the yearly fees and the vendors’ fees.

      Vendors luvvvvvvvvvv to accept the Amex Black Card. Because only super rich people have them. And super rich people spend mucho money in their stores.

      I guarantee you Cindy McCain will pay that balance in full before the 6-month period is over.

      Class is dismissed.

      (Try a better talking point next time, sweetie)

      • typical.white.person

        Susan1968,

        The 25.99% interest rate speaks for itself.

        No one with any intelligence would ever accept a credit card with a 25.99% interest rate, period. Even if you pay the balance in full every 30 days. It is simply irresponsible. Nothing you said changes my opinion.

        BTW, I haven’t been to HuffPo in over two years, bitch. :-)

        • beebop

          Sweetie, the interest is credited back to your card if paid in fall within the six months. And why the swear word at the end? Are you so threatened by knowledge that you must be profane? Boy. Makes me happy not to be you!

      Roe v Wade scare tactic was last week.

      We already dismantled that argument.

      And if you haven’t noticed — we’ve had 7.5 years of Bush and Roe v Wade was not overturned.

      Explain that. Oh – I will!

      75% of Americans are pro-choice.

      Yup! Only 25% are anti-abortion rights.

      No polititian — no judge — will overturn a 40-year old law to please 25% of the country.

Wade to support the woman who has spent her entire life fighting for women’s rights, why should I? I’m too old to worry about abortions now. Let the 20-something Obamarhoids deal with it. They deserve a RW court.

      Besides that, Roe v. Wade isn’t going anywhere. Bush has served 2 freakin’ terms. If he wanted Roe v. Wade overturned, it would have been overturned.

    Critical Report on McCain

    The Center for American Progress Action Fund also issued a report June 11, “The Impact of John McCain’s Policies on America’s Women,” that took McCain to task on economic, health care, reproductive and civil rights policies, and the war in Iraq.

    The report notes that within the last year, McCain voted against increasing the minimum wage seven times, voted in August against the reauthorization of SCHIP, the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, and supported a constitutional ban on abortion in a 2000 “Meet the Press” interview. S-CHIP is a program that provides health insurance to middle- and low-income families. The McCain campaign press office could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

    Obama leads among female registered voters with 51 percent of their support, compared to McCain with 38 percent, according to a June 11 Gallup poll conducted June 5 to 9. This 13 percentage point lead is five percentage points higher than at the end of May, before Clinton conceded.

    McCain’s “Women for McCain” Web site offers a greeting from national co-chairs Mica Mosbacher and Judy Black, who say they share the many roles of U.S. women: wife, mother, daughter, single mother. “Balancing all of that is a challenge and we’re also concerned about the nation’s security, the economy, education, a host of domestic issues,” they write. “We believe John McCain addresses all the things that really matter to us.”

    With adjectives like “outrageous” and “appalling,” Wasserman Schultz criticized McCain’s opposition to funding universal pre-kindergarten education; his failure to support the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which would provide individuals who discover they have experienced wage discrimination an extended time period to sue their employers; and his attack on reproductive rights by calling to repeal Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that limited the government’s rights to regulate abortion.

    Even if RvW was overturned (and it should be) , all that would happen is that States would be able to legislate the issue.

    The Supreme Court made a huge error by imposing this on the entire country. This is precisely the sort of issue that screams for a State’s Rights solution. The Federal Govt should have no role in regards to abortion.

    • memyself&i

      Unfortunately, many legislatures like the cover the Supreme Court gives them. This way they don’t have to be accountable. Why do you think Obama voted present on all those anti-abortion bills in Illinois? Political cover. Roe v. Wade is also a good way for both parties to stir up their base, get “guaranteed” votes from certain groups (see how they are using Roe v Wade to scare women to vote for Obama), and it helps raise funds.

      Most women are not 1-issue voters. For those who are 1-issue voters, that issue is not necessarily abortion.

    At least with a MCCAIN presidency you will still have a democracy….You will get socialism with Obama. The leaders of the DNC and those Dems that backed Obama need to be thrown out.

If Obama gets in we need a barrier to block anything he might try to pull. It really disgusts me that most of our representatives don’t even have the balls to stand up for their country. After 8 years of drawing a paycheck for arguing, the least they could do is stand up for our country and its people. Can anyone guess what the ratio will be in congress after the election…I also have to say knowing Hillary as we all do I am finding it really hard to understand why she is going along with all of this.

    John McCain quote on Roe v Wade:

    “[C]ertainly in the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to undergo illegal and dangerous operations.” -8/24/99, and repeated three other times during the campaign.

    (and again)

    “I’d love to see a point where it is irrelevant, and could be repealed because abortion is no longer necessary. But certainly in the short term, or even-the long-term, I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to [undergo] illegal and dangerous operations.”

    (and again)

    “Though [McCain] insists he, personally, is `morally pro-life,’ he said he would work to ensure that no voter felt ‘excluded’ from the GOP ‘I would not seek to overturn Roe v. Wade tomorrow,’ he continued, because doing so would endanger the lives of women. He promised not to screen Supreme Court nominees for their opinion on Roe.”

    • UKforDems

      McCain sold out those principles to get the Republican nomination, he is no longer the social moderate.

      This was him at the online Town hall for upset Clinton fanatics.

      McCain on Roe v. Wade:

      “Roe v. Wade, we obviously will have a disagreement. I think it was a bad decision.”

      McCain on abortion rights:

      “[W]e have to change the culture of America. We have to convince people of our view that the rights of the unborn are as important as the rights of the born.”

      McCain on medically necessary late-term abortions:

      “I am unalterably opposed to partial birth abortion.”

      McCain on the two or more Supreme Court appointments the next president is likely to make:

      “I would find people along the lines of Justice Roberts.”

      “I wouldn’t have selected Justice Ginsberg or Justice Breyer.”

      “I believe that interpretation of the Constitution, and only that, should be the criteria for Supreme Court justices.”

      McCain on gay rights and “don’t ask, don’t tell”:

      “Don’t ask, don’t tell: I want to rely on the advice and counsel of our military leaders. As president … I will ask the Joint Chiefs of Staff to go back and review that and other policies to see whether those policies are appropriate, and I do rely on them to a large degree because they’re the ones we entrust the leadership of the lives of our young men and women in our military. And I’m sure you may have a disagreement with that policy.”

        McCain sold out those principles to get the Republican nomination, he is no longer the social moderate.

        I question just how informed you are. Because that is not happened.

        The whole range of Conservatives from the Social Conservatives, to the Fiscal Conservatives to the Small-Govt Conservatives.. all of them opposed McCain’s candidacy and he hasn’t done anything to cater to their grievances.

        There are many angry conservatives out there who I cant get to see that a vote for anyone but McCain is a vote for Obama.. they don’t care if Obama wins. They’re upset with their vote being taken for granted, and so they say , they will vote for the lessor of two evils.

        So you can say he’s strict pro-lifer all you want.. many Pro-lifers don’t seem to agree with you.

        “Roe v. Wade, we obviously will have a disagreement. I think it was a bad decision.”

        One could be against Roe vs Wade while being neutral or pro-choice as a matter to law.

        All Roe Vs Wade did was to prevent the States from being able to restrict abortion. Its repeal does not make it illegal automatically.

        Some people feel that the States should have their power returned to them while still being pro-choice.

        “[W]e have to change the culture of America. We have to convince people of our view that the rights of the unborn are as important as the rights of the born.”

        There is nothing wrong with that statement either. Part of changing the culture would mean avoiding the situation that would create the new life,… thereby eliminating the “need” to kill it.

    McCain said he thought Roe v. Wade should be overturned and said he would support exceptions to a ban on abortion in cases of rape, incest, and when the mother’s life is in danger.
    Source: Boston Globe, p. A11 Jan 22, 2000

    1. McCain supports the following statements:Abortions should be legal only when the pregnancy resulted from incest, rape, or when the life of the woman is endangered.
    2. Prohibit the late-term abortion procedure known as “partial-birth” abortion.
    3. Prohibit public funding of abortions and public funding of organizations that advocate or perform abortions.

    McCAIN: I am proud of my pro-life record in public life, and I will continue to maintain it. I will not draw my children into this discussion. As a leader of a pro-life party with a pro-life position, I will persuade young Americans [to] understand the importance of the preservation of the rights of the unborn.

    Q: In 1999, you said, “In the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe vs. Wade, which would then force X number of women in American to undergo illegal and dangerous operations.”

    A: That was in the context of conversation about having to change the culture of America as regards to this issue. I have stated time after time after time that Roe v. Wade was a bad decision, that I support the rights of the unborn.

    Q: If Roe v. Wade was overturned during a McCain presidency, and individual states chose to ban abortion, would you be concerned that, as you said, X number of women in America would undergo illegal and dangerous operations?

    A: No, I would hope that X women in America would bring those children into life in this world, and that I could do whatever I could to assist them. Again, that conversation from 1999, so often quoted, was in the context of my concerns about changing the culture in America to understand the importance of the rights of the unborn.

      Strawman —

      Okay – so what we have here is flip-flopping to win in 2008 because his 1999 remarks caused him to lose the GOP primary in 2000 to GW Bush.

      I personally believe McCain will not choose judges to specifically overturn Roe v Wade.

      He has not made Roe v Wade a major campaign issue.

      Flip flopping – sure.

      How about Obama flip-flopping on supporting Jerusalem “an undivided city” in less than 48 hours?

      How about Obama’s head guy meeting with Hamas? And all of Obama’s pro-Hamas advisors.

      Yet he tells the Jewsih lobby he will never meet with Hamas.

      Which Obama should Jews believe?

      In short — you will not bully me into voting for Obama on Roe V Wade.

      I don’t care. My protest vote goes to McCain.

      Let the You-tube/I got a crush on Obama/MySpace girls deal with it.

      Heck – my generation fought for reproductive rights, this generation takes it for granted.

      If you’re so worried about Roe v Wade being overturned, you should have elected Hillary because she could actually WIN in November.

    Why Iraqis Back McCain

    But I did sit down last week with four key provincial Iraqi leaders, Sunnis and Shiites, who — without actually endorsing Mr. McCain — made their views abundantly clear.

    “The Iraqis are really fearful about some of the positions the Democratic Party has adopted,” says Sheik Ahmed Abu Rishah. “If the Democrats win, they will be withdrawing their forces in a very rapid manner.”

    Mamoun Sami Rashid al-Alawi, the governor of Anbar province, agrees. “We have over a million casualties, thousands of houses destroyed,” he says. “Are we going to tell [Iraqis] that the game is over? That the Americans are pulling out?”

    Messrs. Abu Rishah and Awani, both Sunni, have possibly the toughest political jobs on the planet. Sheik Abu Rishah inherited the leadership of the Iraq Awakening movement when his brother was killed by al Qaeda last September. Gov. Awani’s immediate predecessor was kidnapped and killed by insurgents, and he has survived more than a score of assassination attempts.

    Today, the governor speaks with a mixture of confidence and foreboding. He insists al Qaeda has been vanquished. But, he adds, “Iraq is in a strategic location and has huge resources. There are a lot of eyes on Iraq.” Later in the conversation, he makes his point more precisely. “Liberating Iraq is a very good dish. And now you are going to hand it over to Iran?”

    A sense of incredulity hangs over the way Iraqis see the U.S. political debate taking shape. The governor tells a moving story about their visit to Walter Reed hospital, where they were surprised to find smiles on the faces of GIs who had lost limbs. “The smile is because they feel they have accomplished something for the American people.”

    But the Iraqis came away with a different impression in Chicago, where they had hoped to meet with Mr. Obama but ended up talking to a staff aide. “We noticed there was a concentration on the negatives,” the governor recalls. “The Democrat kept saying that Americans have committed a lot of mistakes. Yes, that’s true, but why don’t you concentrate on what the Americans have achieved in Iraq?”

    The Iraqis are even more incredulous about Mr. Obama’s willingness to negotiate with Iran, which they see as a predatory regime. “Do you Americans forget what the Iranians did to your embassy?” asks the governor. “Don’t you know that Ahmadinejad was one of [the hostage takers]?”

    Here Hussein Ali al-Shalan, a Shiite from Diwaniyah in southern Iraq, offers a view. “For a long time, Iran has felt like Iraq is theirs. Our fear [about U.S. negotiations with Iran] is, you will be giving them something that we believe would prolong our agony. We are not against Iran. We have to coexist and work toward our mutual interests. The question is, is this possible at this stage? That’s why we need the army to give a final push so the Iraqis can feel the fruits of our democracy.”

    It’s not just Iran. “There is no other country that supports us,” says Gov. Awani. “What is happening in Iraq scares everyone,” by which he means the neighboring autocracies that have something to fear from a successful democratic model in their midst.

    That only makes America’s ambivalence toward its democratic creation that much stranger to the Iraqis. Will the next administration abandon both its principles and its friends in the region? For what?

    The administration and the Iraqi government are now wrangling over a status-of-forces agreement — evidence that Iraq has reached a point where it can once again act like a sovereign nation. But the Iraqis leave no doubt that they want a deal, not least “so Iraq would be able to protect U.S. interests in the region,” as Sheik Abu Rishah puts it. Having lost 4,100 Americans for Iraq, the Iraqis are offering to return the sacrifice — assuming only that the alliance endures.

    Throughout our interview, the men did not stop fingering their prayer beads, as if their future hinges on their ability to make their case to the American public. They’re right: It does. Which is why Iraq, all but alone among the nations, will be praying for a McCain victory on the first Tuesday in November.

      gerald: This is the part that annoys me the most:

      But the Iraqis came away with a different impression in Chicago, where they had hoped to meet with Mr. Obama but ended up talking to a staff aide. “We noticed there was a concentration on the negatives,” the governor recalls. “The Democrat kept saying that Americans have committed a lot of mistakes. Yes, that’s true, but why don’t you concentrate on what the Americans have achieved in Iraq?”

      The Obama people are obsessed with the mistakes of the past.. no vision for the future. Unlike Obama, the people of Iraq can’t indulge in who should get the blame for what in 2003, they have to figure out how to live through today and have to calculate who will be their friend and who will try to kill them in the future. The people overseas have to think we’re just totally on a different planet how we are not taking things seriously. Obama’s motivation is to discredit what the United States has done. The consequence of that is more than obvious to the Iraqis… their deaths.

      The Iraqis are even more incredulous about Mr. Obama’s willingness to negotiate with Iran, which they see as a predatory regime. “Do you Americans forget what the Iranians did to your embassy?” asks the governor. “Don’t you know that Ahmadinejad was one of [the hostage takers]?”

      This is the main problem. Iran is at war with us. They have been since 1979.

      Obama wants to be their friends.

      They want us annihilated.

    Before I go night night…

    Let AxelROVE & his Obama blog agents know this:

    Forget Roe v Wade.

    Forget Health Care Insurance (Obama is in the insurance companies pockets anyway).

    Forget the latest “Hillary supports Obama so you must do what she wants” meme.

    Forget whatever “crucial” issue the Obama Camp wants to dig up to bully Hillary Supporters into voting for BO.

    There is only one issue I’m voting on this year:

    DEMOCRACY.

    The Dean/Brazile CABAL in the DNC set out to steal votes and rig an election to coronate the candidate they chose as far back as 2004.

    We all know it.

    And perhaps the neo-liberals in the DNC somehow talked themselves into believing the ends (destroying the Clintons and centrist democrats) justified the means (subverting democracy to install a neo-liberal power block) in the 2008 primary, but there are a percentage of us — maybe only 2 or 3 million of us — who they have FAILED to hoodwink and bamboozle.

    And we will do our best, as true patriots, to stop those who perpetrated this COUP within the DNC.

    And a coup is exactly what it is.

    If John McCain was good enough to be John Kerry’s running mate in 2004, John McCain is good enough for my protest vote in 2008

    Good interview with Will. I saw him on MSNBC and I thought that Navotny was dismissive and cut him off after a very short interview. Fox is definitely the place to go right now for anti-Obama developments since the others are giving it short shrift. I’m sure that Fox is enjoying all of this, but it is what it is and we have to get coverage wherever available.

      i think right now the ground shift in the democratic core voters is starting to sink in. all this grand talk by pundits that they’ll come home sounds hollow. as time goes by the media will give more attention to the break away voters. the dnc is short of cash. obama is chasing donations like the utilities are being cut off tomorrow. the campaign is saying “ohio? is that a state?” doesn’t sound positive to me.

    Got an email from a former TM poster about the McCain meeting on Saturday. McCain is actually talking to us, and he talks nice, and is not a gangsta-rappa wanna-be, like the foul-mouthed trolls here.

    McCain is not perfect, but he doesn’t claim to be. He seems sane and solid, like Hillary would have been.

    No Obama.

    I love the attempts by these political officials to force me to fall in line by name calling and claiming that I am not a real democrat. This is how they think they will win over me and other Clinton supporters?! Also, they have this air of condescension; one actually made the comment that I should educate myself more before contacting them with my opinion! Wow!

      “….Then there’s the issue of the Clintons, long the party’s most powerful and influential leaders. Convention organizers said that with the former first lady out of the race, it remains to be seen how much the couple’s loyal army of fundraisers and donors will help out with convention expenses.

      The Clintons’ close friend and top fundraiser, Terry McAuliffe, raised millions for the party’s conventions in 2000 and 2004. He’s helping to retire Hillary Clinton’s campaign debt, which is estimated to be at least $30 million.

      Two wealthy Bill Clinton associates, supermarket mogul Ron Burkle and Hollywood producer Steve Bing, have made six-figure contributions to past conventions but so far have held off doing so this year.”

    Once again, Sen. Obama, it’s that appearance of impropriety that irritates

    Blogger annabellep at Peacocks and Lillies discovered a connection between Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and another corrupt campaign contributor, Jared Abbruzzese, who was a donor to the anti-John Kerry Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and, who, in March 2007 the Chicago Sun-Times reported as “being investigated by the FBI in New York for public corruption.”

    Okay, this talk of a McCain/Clinton ticket is ridiculous. It’s time to put Clinton behind you and focus on getting McCain elected. They are far too different on all the major issues and she will never be his VP. Only McCain will help put an end to high gas prices by drilling in ANWR and off the coast of the US. All this foo foo talk of alternative energy is not going to help our wallets. More oil from the US is the only way! Only McCain will make sure that supreme court justices in line with Alito and Scalia are appointed. Only McCain will ensure our victory in Iraq. Only McCain will ensure we stand firm against that terrorist Amadinijad. We should have bombed their nuclear facilities months ago.

    The democrats are the party of defeat and are calling all of you Clinton supporters racist “dead enders”. The republican party welcomes you with open arms. Together we can take back the white house in 2008!

    The PUMA/Republican coalition for victory!

    • Hope Floats

      McCain favors domestic drilling, but he is opposed to drilling in ANWR and remains firm on that. Don’t get people confused on that point, because that’s one of McCain’s selling points to Independents. He has a good environmental record.

      From today’s Politico:

      Citing the country’s economic, environmental and national security interests, the GOP nominee will make the case that “over time we have to shift our energy usage to a sustainable mix,” the aide said.

      McCain will cite, as he usually does, wind, solar, biofuels, clean coal and nuclear energy while also touching on the need for better automotive fuel technologies.

      And he’ll also strike a populist note, criticizing what an aide called a group of “reckless speculators” for increasing the price of oil by trading on crude futures.

      There will be shots at Obama, including some that may not sit well with local energy officials in Houston. McCain will point out his rival’s support for the Bush administration-backed energy bill in 2005, a measure an aide called “a grab bag of oil industry favors.”

      He’ll also continue to press his support for lifting the federal gas tax for the summer – something that Obama, as well as many Republicans, oppose.

      But the central element of the speech will be his call to allow states to decide whether they want to pursue drilling.

      “I don’t want to dictate to the states what they should do,” McCain told reporters earlier today.

      Yet he reiterated his view that, much to the consternation of some in his party, he views the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge as “pristine.”

      “I do believe that there are places in the world where we should not drill,” McCain said.

      Yet while he’s taking criticism on the right for not backing off his long-held views on drilling in ANWR, McCain is also taking heat from sometimes-friendly environmental groups over his call for ending the federal moratorium.

      “Drilling in protected areas offshore won’t solve our energy needs in the short term and in the long term will increase the threat of global warming,” said League of Conservative Voters President Gene Karpinski. “We need to break our addiction to oil — not look for another fix.”
