		<description>ACORN&#039;s argument was deemed &quot;absurd&quot; by the judge.  Sounds like they hired Obama as their lawyer again.</description>

		<description>From 2004:

The Real ACORN: Anti-Employee, Anti-Union, Big Business

&lt;blockquote&gt;Despite its ardent public support of higher wages and union membership for all workers, ACORN has made repeated attempts to block the unionization of its own workforce while paying below-minimum-wage salaries to its employees. In addition to the extensive union-busting detailed by the NLRB (see Appendix A), ACORN unsuccessfully sued the state of California to be exempted from the minimum wage. In its appeal of that suit, ACORN argued that the reduction in the number of employees resulting from the minimum wage would violate its First Amendment rights. ACORN’s claims were labeled “absurd” by the presiding judge.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>Another good article about how the face of America will completely revamp with an Obama presidency.

As with much of what Obama utters, the details , the nuance and often chunks of information are obliterated. 

“Change” is a word much like “space”. It does not connote parameters involving volume, speed, direction, impact , timing and most importantly those with whom it will be associated with. Either those that will generate it nor those that will receive it.

Clever, but Americans ultimately will be neither fooled nor coerced.

		<description>Yep.




And I hate to say it, but if it wern&#039;t for Ross Perot&#039;s presence in the 1992 Presidential election, Bill Clinton &lt;em&gt;may&lt;/em&gt; not have won.  Perot (I think) was GWB Sr.&#039;s spoiler.</description>

		<description>benny-
I agree.
Let me add that the media- journalists- who are supposed to be members of the Fourth Estate who serve as another safety net in the checks and balances system- this media supports Sen Obama...



If he wins, we will never learn the truth because the msm supports him, and our constitutional rights (SEE FISA AS EXAMPLE) will be slowly chipped away so independent journalists and citizens will have no protection or venue for public research or discourse.

Watch for more restrictions to be placed on the internet- usage and access.</description>

		<description>IndayHill?

Does anyone AUDIT   HOW candidates spend their contributed receipts?


Are we sure that all of Sen Obama&#039;s receipts as campaign contributions are being spent in the US in his effort win election?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;McCain asked them not to!&lt;/blockquote&gt;





&lt;strong&gt;Something&#039;s telling me McCain&#039;s not going to need the ads to win.




I hope the 527s run anyway!&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Maria3
Someone should make a You tube video of this &#039;taling points&#039; memo and write articles about this.

This is DISGUSTING.

Talking Point memo for a presidential debate?


Is our msm so dumbed down that they need this for a debate coverage?



I CHALLENGE, I DARE, the msm to broadcast or write articles about tonight&#039;s debate-  W I T H O U T- using the same language that the Obama campaign memo counts.


I hope someone analyzes transcripts and compares word for word- how many articles, broadcasts will contain the exact same language as the Obama memo.


And then...do a YOU TUBE video showing how dumbed down and lazy and in the tank our msm has been during this campaign.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Yes, the spot worked. Yes, they believed the charges against Obama. Yes, they actually think he’s too liberal, consorts with bad people and &lt;strong&gt;WON’T BE A GOOD PRESIDENT…but they STILL don’t give a f***. They said right out, “He won’t do anything better than McCain” but they’re STILL voting for Obama.&lt;/&lt;/strong&gt;blockquote&gt;




I don&#039;t trust that letter.





Some of the highlighted bold remarks above looks strangely similar to a post that I saw here at NQ the other day.  The poster stated that he/she spoke with his/her AA friends about Obama the other day&amp; that they basically said the same thing above.






This &quot;letter&quot; looks like a patchwork of NQ posts bundled with pro-Obama MSM &quot;talking points&quot; &lt;em&gt;(ie:  &lt;strong&gt;&quot;The next was a woman, late 50s, Democrat but strongly pro-life. Loved B. and H. Clinton, loved Bush in 2000&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;&quot;54 year-old white male, voted Kerry ‘04, Bush ‘00, Dole ‘96, hunter, NASCAR fan…hard for Obama&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;  





This &quot;email&quot; looks suspect.  If is &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; a fake, then I don&#039;t know what the writer hopes to accomplish by circulating it.  It &lt;strong&gt;certainly&lt;/strong&gt; won&#039;t keep Republicans, Independents &amp; Democrats from voting for McCain en masse on Election Day.  If this email is legitimate, the same applies.  It won&#039;t change anything.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>But those two cases have not completed the process. That&#039;s the problem with focus groups also. All in all the science or psychology of focus groups is not longer scientific any more. Yes, society maintains all of these instruments alive and well because too much economic interest, specially academic interests rest on them. But social interactions in 2008 with the internet as fast as it is has broken the reliability and validity of these instruments. They don&#039;t measure what they think they are measuring. For example.

Today the stock market dropped 750 points. Those two cases would not mean anything anymore. The data is old, too old, is simply archival notes.</description>
