McCain/Palin Press Release: “LYNN FORESTER DE ROTHSCHILD, MEMBER OF DNC PLATFORM COMMITTEE, ENDORSES JOHN MCCAIN” [Update]

By SusanUnPC on September 17, 2008 at 1:00 PM in DNC, Economy, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, McCain/Palin 2008, Qualifications

From the McCain/Palin Press Office:

ARLINGTON, VA — Today the McCain-Palin campaign announced the endorsement of Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee.

“In an election as important at this, we must choose the candidate who has a proven record of bipartisanship and reforming government, and that’s John McCain,” Rothschild said.

“We can’t afford a president who lacks experience and judgment and has never crossed party lines to work for meaningful reform. Amid tough economic times and foreign policy concerns, we need someone who is ready to lead. Although I am a Democrat, I recognize that it’s more important to put country ahead of party and that’s why I support John McCain.”

Rothschild, an attorney and businesswoman, supported Sen. Clinton during the Democratic primaries. She will campaign for Sen. McCain through Election Day.

###

I am profoundly impressed with the fortitude it took for Lynn Forester de Rothschild to make this decision and proudly announce her preference publicly.

Some of the saddest recent incidents on TV news have been the parade of sad-sack Democrats like Howard Wolfson and Lannie Davis trying their best to appear enthused by Obama’s candidacy when we all know that THEY know he is not qualified and is not ready to be president. (Note: This is not intended in any way to criticize Mssrs. Wolfson and Davis, because I have so very much respect for them. I am just sorry that their party affiliation has put them in such a difficult situation.)

It is time for a highly prominent Democrat — and a member of the Democratic party’s Platform Committee — to take a stand, and say what most of Hillary’s supporters are surely feeling and thinking. We are all indebted to Lady de Rothschild’s courage and willingness to speak her mind.

For more on this momentous endorsement, see our earlier related stories today:

UPDATE:

Of course, as memeorandum.com makes clear, the know-it-all Obamabot bloggers like Matthew Yglesias could not wait for Lynn Forester to make her statement today, and to hear her reasons for her endorsement. No.

Irony truly is dead as Lynn Forester de Rothschild endorses John McCain on anti-elitism grounds:

“This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don’t like him,” she said of Obama in an interview with CNN’s Joe Johns. “I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.”

The problem with Yglesias’s clever put-down? Lynn Forester de Rothschild didn’t say that today. She said it in early July. Furthermore, her remarks were — surprise, surprise — taken out of context by Yglesias et al. Here are all of her remarks in “Clinton donors hesitant to show love for Obama,” the full CNN story on July 9, 2008:

With that debt yet to be paid off, some of Clinton’s supporters are balking at the idea of forking over donations for Obama — especially if he does not choose her to be his running mate.

Businesswoman Lynn Forester de Rothschild launched a Web site bringing Clinton supporters together to put the pressure on Obama.

“We are being asked to embrace party unity without the fair representation of Hillary Clinton and her 18 million voters,” she says on her Web site. “Party unity requires bilateral action. We ask Barack Obama and the [Democratic National Committee] to respond.”

De Rothschild is one of the so-called “Hillraisers” — supporters who raised at least $100,000 for Clinton. She’s yet to fork over any cash for Obama, and she doesn’t know if she will.

“I certainly know there are lots of people who are withholding their money,” she said.

“This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don’t like him. I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.”

That sentiment may be sending some Clinton fans into Sen. John McCain’s court. …

I think that, when she made those remarks, she was dwelling on Obama’s failure to come through and help retire Hillary’s debt as well as Obama’s arrogant refusal to reach out to Hillary’s supporters.

Just boycott their movies, we have. We don’t see anything that has a touch of Obama’s cheerleaders. With the exception of Robert D our wise guy mafia man, everybody that attended the fundraiser will not see a penny at the movies from us.

The demise of America began with the unholy alliance of the MSM and the Bush administration leading to the Iraq war. This alliance is now between the MSM and Obama.

I heave not heard what this alleged comment from McCain is but let’s assume McCain made an ambiguous statement that could be interpreted as you question. It is possible this was no mistake. McCain could be setting up Obama. He will be outraged and call McCain a racist. This will open the floodgates for McCain to show America who the real racist is, “Typical white person 20 years in a racist church fomenting a race war accusing the Clinton’s of being a racist” Obama.

I completely disagree. Think 2012.

Hillary has to avoid any appearances of aiding and abetting McCain/Palin at this time, and to give every appearance of supporting Obama. She has to. Otherwise, she will be blamed when Obama loses. (Of course, his rabid followers will find ways to blame her no matter how much effort she expends on Obama’s behalf, but their nastiness will be more muted and so will that of the media.)

She HAS to play this game just right. Keep the faith.

Lynn Forester isn’t and will not run for office. She is free to do as she wishes, the Democratic party be damned. However, Hillary’s future depends on the Democratic party. Different situation entirely.

I also linked to a fascinating article that describes her considerable accomplishments as a brilliant businesswoman in her own right. Further, she is an attorney. But, you can label her an elitist to suit the feeble arguments you have rattling around in your head to justify support for an unqualified, unready presidential candidate.

Since when does creating your own fortune through very hard work, brains and great business sense make one an elitist?

No Carol,
Don’t think any less of Hillary for this. If she had gone, centrist republicans will think she’s there to have a confrontation or to steal Sarah’s thunder. From the democratic side, her actions or reactions to Sarah will be placed under a microscope and interpreted every which way: those bots who detest her will say she is being ‘nice to Sarah’ and they will remember it all the way to 2012. I like to think that it is consistent with her earlier statement that she is not going to be a club to be used against Sarah. I have confidence in her judgement.

i have a sense that the obama cartel wants to get Hillary and Sarah on the same stage/format, whatever, to pit them against each other, or contrast them in a light that diminishes Gov Palin.

the dem elite dickheads love a good catfight. get a woman to attack another woman. do their dirty work for them.then it’s ok i guess to be a woman on woman misogynist. kind of like it’s ok for obamacoup black on black racist attacks.

Hillary is too smart to fall for that. she will keep it about issues. she will take flak for that. when the bobo loses, Hillary will be blamed for not helping in the effort to destroy Gov Palin.

Sen Clinton is a class act.

Gov Palin will however, get to the White House before her.

that’s the way the dem elite manipulator of democracy cookie crumbles.

I suspect Obama campaign may be trying to divide and conquer here too.

They may be trying to get ‘formerly clinton but now McCain’ supporters to fight with each other as they (Obama campaign) engage in political attacks claiming HRC is angry with Palin or McCain (or vice versa).

They are trying to pull away from McCain some of the votes he got today from Hillary supporters who were waiting to see what Lynn Forrester would do. They are trying to divide and conquer…

I don’t believe McCain will ever desert Hillary. But, if he were to loose what could he do to help her? I think they know what they’re doing. I’d be willing to bet Hillary called Sarah as well to let her know she couldn’t appear with her. The DNC leaders are using/threatening something against Hillary, I feel it. Remember the primaries, the convention. Hillary said he’s her friend. Bill talking about them teasing each other back and forth about the GE. He had the experience, the know how. Now he doesn’t? It doesn’t add up. There is some reason why this sudden shift to try and give the appearance that they’re distancing themselves from each other.

http://mmb silverfox

diana….

i have felt for quite some time that the Clintons are under some kind of threat. this includes Chelsea. i think Bill and Hillary are protecting their daughter.

remember, the scum that obama is working for are not above having enforcers making “offers you can’t refuse”.

Hillary is doing the best she can to keep herself and her family safe, while at the same time keeping her deeply feminist center away from woman on woman violence. she knows full well what that feels like, doesn’t she.

pray for her and her family’s safety.

LandOLincoln

Her good friend is not running away from her. Please note that whenever they “attack” each other it’s always on the issues, never personal.

And anyone who thinks Lynn Forester de Rothchild did what she did without Bill & Hill’s full knowledge and approval, is delusional.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton had been set to be at a rally Monday outside the United Nations to protest the speech there that day by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Just sit back and watch the chess game–and if you’re PUMA, listen for the cat whistles (which have turned into trumpet blasts the last couple of days).

Cat whistles: Hillary’s PUMA orange pantsuit and James Carville’s brand new Puma brand sneakers on prominent view at the Dem convention; Big Dog’s comments about Candidate X and Candidate Y; McCain’s PUMA orange tie the night Sarah Palin accepted the VP nomination.

Trumpet blasts: the Big Dog’s choice of McCain to be the lead-off speaker at the CGI; Lynn Forester de Rothchild’s very public “defection” to McCain/Palin. I mean, does anyone really believe she did that without Bill & Hills full knowledge and support?

Also, please remember that Obama has been moving right–even to the extent of voting to the right of Hillary AND McCain on several very important pieces of legislation–while McCain has been moving left.

Finally, please notice that when Hillary and McCain “attack” each other, it’s always on issues, never personal. They’re close friends and it’s my personal conviction that they’re making common cause right now in the interest of each taking back her/his respective party.

And their common enemy is George Barack Obama-Bush.

James-

Read my posts above.

Sen Clinton is too smart to be a pawn for anybody and Sen McCain is too smart to use her as one.

Use common sense. If you were Sen McCain or Gov Palin and you just heard Lynn Forrester’s (a strong and important clinton supporter) announcement about supporting your campaign today, what would you do? Insult Sen Clinton?

I suspect some political attacks being generated by Obama campaign to divide the ‘formerly Clinton but now McCain’ supporters .

Lynn’s announcement today must have rattled them very badly.

Denounce these false rumors wherever you see them. That is all this is-propaganda on the part of the Obama campaign. They hope that if they repeat this false statement enough times it will make it true.

Then, after you denounce this propaganda- GET THE TRUTH OUT about what Sen Obama really stands for. Dont let them distract you. Dont allow swiftboat attacks to go unchallenged AND dont neglect the URGENT need to get the truth out there. Too much at stake.

She really doesn’t have any choice. If she’s gonna run again for president, it’s gonna hafta be as a Democrat. So with that in mind, she can’t afford to piss off half the party by attending an event with the GOP VP nominee less than 50 days before election day.

People would have great respect for her just to see her be there as an American. Now by pulling out, the press is making a bigger deal out of it then if she were to show up.

The man running the event said he could have put Palin at the end Hillary at the beginning and they would never even be seen together or see each other so why drop out entirely ???? I think Hillary will have to explain this. She has been there before and it is a NYC function. Its odd she will not be there very odd..barry & co. must have screwed her some how There could be a very interesting story to investigate…(what am I saying ) you need a press corps for that

Don’t you think Hillary is merely avoiding the press turning her attending the same event as Palin that the press and the BO supporters will attack her for being a traitor?

She’s damned if she does, and she’s damned if she doesn’t.

I do know this. If Obama gets elected. There would be no chance for Hillary until 2016. So if anyone here wants her to run in 2012 make sure Obama doesn’t get elected.

That said, we are all in terrible trouble if Obama gets in the WH. He is big on symbols, anyone remember the upside down flag on his DNC tickets for his temple drama queen act?

Race is arguably the biggest issue in this election, and it’s one that nobody’s talking about.

The differences between Barack Obama and John McCain couldn’t be more well-defined. Obama wants to change Washington. McCain is a part of Washington and a part of the Bush legacy. Yet the polls remain close. Doesn’t make sense…unless it’s race.

These displays only highlight the political stupidity of the Democrats. If race is that big an issue and if, as they say, this is a crucial year to get a Democrat in the WH, then why are they running a totally green freshman senator who is a black man?

Will Smith

Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius publicly considered the possibility that Sen. Barack Obama’s race might be a factor in this year’s presidential election during an appearance here Tuesday.

“Have any of you noticed that Barack Obama is part African-American?” Sebelius asked in response to a question about why the election is so close. “That may be a factor. All the code language, all that doesn’t show up in the polls. And that may be a factor for some people.”

The remark, delivered in the governor’s low key, folksy, out-from-behind-the-podium style, raised a couple chuckles but few eyebrows in the downtown Iowa City crowd, but Republicans took offense and responded in short order.

“Governor Sebelius’s remarks in Iowa City today are hurtful and divisive at best,” said Republican Party of Iowa Executive Director Caleb Hunter in a press release. “With less than 50 days to go, Democrats will continue to try and change the focus away from the issues that will decide this election.”

The rest of Sebelius’ remarks in Iowa City stuck closely to the Obama campaign’s talking points.

Has anyone else read these? Someone from Democrat Underground tried to auction off Palin’s infant on Ebay! This is funny to them?

Apparently, a poster at the radical nutroot site, DemocraticUnderground, created a fake listing for someone pretending to sell baby Trig on ebay. The faux listing read “Baby used prop newborn boy 3-6 months special needs,” and included a description that called Governor Palin a “pushy social climber, unwilling to let pregnancy and children stand in the way of ambition.”

Then there is also this gem:

Like many, I am troubled by the implications of Alaska governor and Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s decision to knowingly give birth to a child disabled with Down syndrome. Given that Palin’s decision is being celebrated in some quarters, it is crucial to reaffirm the morality of aborting a fetus diagnosed with Down syndrome (or by extension, any unborn fetus)—a freedom that anti-abortion advocates seek to deny.

It’s no longer Palin that is running for office, now it’s an innocent infant.

Another wonderful piece:

Kos To Kossacks: We Haven’t Been Scummy Enough!

I’m not about to revert to writing puff pieces about Obama thinking that his magic “new politics” bullshit will carry us to victory. He may or may not believe that crap, but I don’t. We’re going to win this thing the way campaigns are won — by playing hardball. Politics is a blood sport. Republicans understand this and never flinch from flinging the shit. We won’t win until we learn to fight back in kind. And I’m more than happy to get down in the mud with our friends on the Right so Obama doesn’t have to.
So far, before this pronouncement, Daily Kos has managed to achieve the following:

Sarah Palin’s youngest son is her grandson — Trig is actually her daughter’s son, possibly by Palin’s husband.

Sarah Palin belonged to a radical Alaskan separatist group.

Sarah Palin tried to ban books at the city library when she was mayor.

Sarah Palin slashed funding for helping pregnant teens.

The FBI arrested him and he may go to jail.

If a stupid news anchor can get caught and arrested for doing this – where are the feds on this one?

And when material is obtained illegally, it’s not admissible in court. The court of public opinion is another matter, and unfortunately for the Obots, the only arena in which this will play well is in their sick little circle of malice.

We had a situation recently where a local newscaster with some standing was fired from his job for hacking into a co-worker’s personal e-mails.
She was seen as the victim in the scenario.

Obama Sued in Philadelphia Federal Court (Constitutionally Ineligible for the Presidency)
| 8/21/08 | Jeff Schreiber

Posted on Thursday, August 21, 2008 5:00:24 PM by LdSentinal

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2065855/posts

A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.
Phillip Berg, the filing attorney, is a former gubernatorial and senatorial candidate, former chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery (PA) County, former member of the Democratic State Committee, and former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania. According to Berg, he filed the suit–just days before the DNC is to hold its nominating convention in Denver–for the health of the Democratic Party.

“I filed this action at this time,” Berg stated, “to avoid the obvious problems that will occur when the Republican Party raises these issues after Obama is nominated

Rezko’s sentencing date has now been pushed back to at least October 28, 2008, which is less than a week before the November 4, 2008, General Election.
Additionally, “Rezko’s attorneys, led by Joseph Duffy, now have until Sept. 19 to file motions,” Coen wrote.
The power (and memory) of a verdict in early September would have had some time to dissipate by the end of October. A verdict at the end of October will continue to roll and tumble in the media spin cycle right up to the very day when voters step into the voting booth. Add to this the possibility of numerous motions reported by the Chicago press, things look to be getting interesting.
Tony Rezko will not be forgotten quickly enough for Obama.

In Case You Missed It: Financial Gloom Doesn’t Halt Glitzy Obama Fundraiser

From Reuters

By David Alexander
September 16, 2008

So what does Barack Obama do after a hard day of defending the common man during the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression?

Throw a $28,500-a-head fundraising dinner, of course.

Followed by a $2,500-a-head reception featuring Barbra Streisand singing a song or two.

The Democratic presidential candidate spent the day Tuesday campaigning in Colorado, where he talked to supporters about the mortgage crisis that has reshaped Wall Street and caused many people to lose their homes.

Then he jetted off to Los Angeles Tuesday evening for a pair of glitzy fundraisers that could be the biggest for Democrats during this election cycle.

Republican John McCain lost no time pointing out Obama was courting the stars instead of ordinary folk.

“(He) talks about siding with the people, siding with the people — just before he flies off to Hollywood for a fundraiser with Barbra Streisand and his celebrity friends,” McCain told a rally in Vienna, Ohio, a critical battleground state. “Let me tell you my friends, there’s no place I’d rather be than here with the working men and women of Ohio.”

Try again. A prominent Democrat and member of the DNC Platform Committee and major Democratic fundraiser and Hillary supporter has endorsed John McCain not because he is a Republican but because Obama is not qualified to be president. Sidestepping the core truth does not change these facts.

Wealth actually doesn’t make one an elitist. It’s an attitude among some wealthy and/or educated people, and in case you are not aware, Obama is actually wealthy compared to most americans.

“Elitism is the belief or attitude that those individuals who are considered members of the elite — a select group of people with outstanding personal abilities, intellect, wealth, specialized training or experience, or other distinctive attributes — are those whose views on a matter are to be taken the most seriously or carry the most weight; whose views and/or actions are most likely to be constructive to society as a whole; or whose extraordinary skills, abilities or wisdom render them especially fit to govern [1].”

Yup, I guess you could call me an elitist even though I’m financially upper middle class because I’d never be caught dead in public with the likes of you.

Elitism has nothing to do with money.

Some of the worst elitists in this country make very little money. Because they studied art history or sociology or ethnic studies in college, however, they look down on everyone else as not as “enlightened.”

I mean, god, NIKES (no income kids with education) are usually the most vicious and ready to put down others.

It’s a sense of entitlement. I’m 26. I know them. They all expected to be making well over 6 figures just because they got a degree. Reality will come for them soon enough.

We all realize the "trolls" can be irritating, but the thing to do is to ignore them, not feed them. And most especially it is critical not to stoop to their level. I'M PLACING YOU ON MODERATION FOR NOW. - SusanUnPC at gmail dot com]

Elistis is defined as…

(dictionary.com)consciousness of or pride in belonging to a select or favored group.

(american heritage dic)The belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources.

So even if you are not rich but comments that “the small town people of America cling to their guns and religion” is an elitist comment and makes the person an elitist.

Does your sad widdle ukelele have more than one string?

bummin’ aren’t you there sparky? Your boy looks terribly out of touch. Rather like bush? hahahahaha

Paul3triple

haahaha, i am listening to obama and he is just talking about mccain. It is funny because for twenty minutes he has not said ANYTHING about what he will do.
He thinks it is a mistake to cut taxes for businesse’s, corporate and small. He is the guy out of touch. If the market is melting and business is pinched you cut their taxes to loosen money up and creat opportunity. McCain is going to cut our corporate tax by ten percent. Our corporat tax is the 2nd highest on earth. That is fact.

also, i cannot believe what i just heard. Major Garret on fox said the obama campaign does not want to lay out any specifics because they think they can drive voters to the polls just by saying he is different.
I shit you not, the guy who cried all week to get back on issue has a crisis on his hands and says forget the issue lets just talk about the republicans.
He is losing it, laughing at his own jokes. I told you they baited him. Now he is not talking issues just mccain because he thinks the gallup poll means no one cares.
HAHAHAHAAAAhHA.
ritamary

I am sure Hillary pulled out of the event with Sarah Palin for very good reasons. I think she does not want to give the corporate media a chance to try to invent a story where there is none. The media will do anything to try to make these two women look bad. Have you noticed???? Why give them the opportunity? Hillary has already stated she will not be used to attack Sarah Palin.

You people here who are attacking Hillary are no better than Obots. She fought a good, hard fight but she had the Democratic Party leadership and the corporate media shills against her. If Hillary wants to run in 2012 she will need the Democratic Party backing.

Arabella Trefoil

Ignore the trolls.
Soldier of Christ

Yes- that is the reason she didn’t. And the people that are attacking her are disappointed or just are true republicans. But, this is an important event, though, she could have just send Bill instead. The democrat party does not know that MY state Florida has a very large majority of Jews and you can bet they will NOT win Florida. Maybe that is what Hillary wants- ever thought of that? What can slap Obama more? Losing the state that he refuse our votes to count!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The thing about Hillary canceling is that it is and has been a bipartisan event a bipartisan group.
Her spokespoeple are also saying they were tricked and did not know she was going and canceled when they found out.
That is all a bit disingenious but the rest of america will judge for themselves.

I just want to say to. JM/SP ticket has pinned obama.
I am sure JM08 will be here in a few hours saying were doomed. The fact is they made the obama team ABANDON ship on the foundation of his campaign. They totally changed strategy and it is one doomed to fail mark my words. The swing group of folks in the middle and hillary voters want to hear someone who will fight for them and give them a coherent aproach to the matters at hand. Obama is running to his angry left base, not good. McCain officially has taken the High road and ripped the change mantle off of him. That was the strategy JM 08, IT WORKED!

Arabella Trefoil

How can you mentor JP08 the way you do? You have amazing patience!

He needs to get his chi in balance before he makes himself ill. It’s a shame people get themselves so worked up.

Soldier of Christ

It is better than all the mentors that Obama has……

Danny

As a lifelong Democrat I agree with every word Rothschild said and will also vote for McCain/Palin. We cannot let Obama be rewarded for inexperience, lack of judgement and no ability to speak without a teleprompter. What a phony.

Bill Clinton was right – This election would be a “game changer” (if Obama gets the nomination). I see a 49 state loss for the Democrats and the House and Senate will be go back to the Republicans because the Demcorats couldn’t handle the hard work of impeaching Bush and holding corporations to account. Something John McCain and Sara Palin can and will do for America.

Annie Oakley

That’s pretty much the way I see it. And I love what Rothschild said.

“In an election as important at this, we must choose the candidate who has a proven record of bipartisanship and reforming government, and that’s John McCain,” Rothschild said.

“We can’t afford a president who lacks experience and judgment and has never crossed party lines to work for meaningful reform. Amid tough economic times and foreign policy concerns, we need someone who is ready to lead.

beverly leslie

Go Lynn! How refreshing to see someone standing up to the Obots! I have much respect for this woman from New Jersey who is self made.

With the defections coming out of the Democratic party you would have to ask yourself as a voter, why is this happening? What is it about barky that is making everyone run in the opposite direction?

Seek and ye shall find!

Does anyone here knows where my 367 neighborhood community order Mccain/Palin sign for our yards? There is one sign in the entire neighborhood and it is for Obama- and it is giving us a nightmare everytime we walk our dogs.

BREAKING NEWS:

Uh-oh…

Obama is inching back up in the national polls. Look for movement his way in the state polls in the next week or so. Looks like McCain’s gimmick of selecting Palin is wearing thin, especially now that people realize she is not as advertised and DEFINITELY NOT READY FOR PRIME-TIME!

Try again in 2016, dog-killer!

What’s the difference between M. Vick and S. Palin? Nothing.

Actually on FOX yesterday it was discussed how the state polls and national polls are out of synch by a week or so, so that is why the state polls don’t match the national and so on. I am not sure which way they are off, but I am thinking if the state polls started looking good early this week, by early next week the national goes up? Don’t know, I’m just saying.

Paul3triple

sorry charlie but that is only one poll with them statistically tied. If that is significant then you should be freaking out because MacPain ticket is still ahead in Rasmussen which polls more poeple.

UPDATE

Well, don’t blame Yglesias, he is just showing his ignorance as most Obama supporters.

Having money doesn’t mean you’re an Elitist just like not needing to point out that because an Obama supporter does not have much money that that doesn’t mean they won’t act like a snob or an Elitist either. Wannabe’s never needed the bank account to fit the crime.
kgirl1028

You know just when I think I can’t get tick off with the obama campaign I do, and charlie gibson is right about obama inching back up it how ever Palin was front fire. the woman is campetent while your opponent isn’t and if her comments hadn’t been edited, to distort ABC’s agenda, then people would know how competent she actually is.

But i’m really, fracken pissed now that bull crap about obama runnign a sleazy campaign foolishness is full of crap. I”m sorry, but I lived under bush for eight whole years, and I am so tired of big fat fauds not being held accountable for their blunders an lies. I want obama’s legs knocked from under his campaign. can not stomach this, any more i”ve had my fill, I am sick and tired o being denied effective leadership. I’m sick of distortions of good people all to prop up this selfish little man. I am not a person that likes confrontation, but a Jefferson et al said when repeated insults occurs what we have the duty to rise up. I’ve had enough, of Barak Hussain Obama and his merry band of in the tank journalist, I saw what these jerk offs did to hillary clinton, i watched as they implied over in over again, that was incompetent, that she was wrong for not stepping down, that she was racist. I’ll be darned if I let them doing it again to Palin and McCain. I have had enough! either we take a stand and squish this cockroach or he gets in the white house. Now what the hell can we do, to make SURE obama does not win. cause honestly we have the information, and it needs to get out. The fact is this simple the Democratic party as of now is lost to this cause, so what we need are independents and swing voters. And truthfully we are becoming an echo chamber except for the few bots none of us like obama, now how do we get the message to the masses. cause if we don’t come November Obama will be president. People need to know that man is a snake, People need to know about the caucus fraud, people need to know about Palins doctored interviews, people need to know that this little traitor has played around wit the lives of american troops to benefit himself. Because MSM is not going to tell anyone this. we need to cut up that maxed out Race card. I’m sick of obama, and the morons who sent him, and i’m sick of waiting on conservatives to do kick his behind the right way.

csuzeq

If that man gets elected, there will people who need to answer for how they allowed such a dangerous person in charge of this beautiful country. My list includes Bill and Hillary, Carville, John McCain, Sarah Palin and Biden, too!

kgirl1028

Honestly it’s not their fault, it’s the fault of the american people from being lazy, and not trying to find out more about people than what’s on TV. It’s called poor judgment. the american people leave themselves open to explotiation, everytimes they don’t challenge their government and their media. and when you do that you leave yourself open to this type of exploitation.

“My list includes Bill and Hillary, Carville, John McCain, Sarah Palin and Biden, too!”

All pollsters agree that until the debates, numbers don’t mean a thing. Yes, Sarah gave a big bounce and it settled back still with McCain ahead.

Once people get a new picture of Barry sans teleprompter, uuuuhhmmmmummm, it’ll be all over.

I’m a PUMA, but if McCain and Palin keep talking about being “reformers,” we should call their bluff and ask them to investigate the most corrupt Presidential adminstration ever.

And, the pollsters still can’t figure out that PUMA’s/Independent (often one in the same) are making an impact. Especially old fogey McCafferty. Women and other Dems abandoning the Dems for McCain? Must be racist.
