How sad that you have believe this drivel. Can you not go to the US Legislative website and read for yourselves the legislation passed in the past ten years? It is really, really easy. All you have to do is a little research. Why do you choose to believe the lies that have been spoon fed to you in “liberal” does.

Democrats are not afraid to argue with one another. Republicans apparently do not like to argue with one another. Whatever the upper echelon says is right is right, and no one questions anything.

There is a myth that all democrats hate all republicans. It is a myth. We don’t hate republicans, but we do hate those who wish to suppress our freedom of speech.

I call upon all republicans to get involved in their party and clean up the corruption that has swamped it, and threatens to destroy a once noble party of free thinkers whose fiscally conservative views help bring balance to legislative process.

Read your history. Research the Constitution. Strive to understand once again the roots of your own party. The passing of the US Constitution created a division of views between those who espoused state rights and those who believed that our country needed to maintain a united front against foreign interests.

I believe the Republicans are better than what the current leadership represents. Corruption is corruption.

Kerry Epting

I find it hard to believe that you think the Republicans are the only corrupt ones!
The Democrats have been in power in the congress for the last two years and have caused the gridlock we have seen in Washington. They haven’t let anything be passed, good or bad!
What about the so-called oversight committee for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac headed by Barney Franks? He reportedly pushed for the bad mortgages that caused the economic crisis!
What about the three top takers of campaign money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; Dodd, Obama,and Franks?
These people are your very own but refuse to take any responsibility for the economic crisis!
Case of the pot calling the kettle black? (no pun intended!)
I am a Democrat turned Republican because I couldn’t stand the far left liberal agenda any more!

Former John Bircher

It sure takes a kind of uneducated and/or inexperienced person to be of this GOP persuasion, probably psychopathic as well. Glad they will be gone soon!!

God bless those people. Dick Morris keeps saying these ads are game changers. We sent them a big donation. Hope it helps.

Ole Bill

Obama is going to win regardless of the racist commercials you are running. All Americans should reject this trash that you spew. We need to get behind this fine man and turn this country over to a new generation with hopes and plans for the future.

Yvonne

You should be embarrassed and ashamed of the absolute lies and twisting of facts; taking bits from an entire sermon and using it out of context; This is NOT the type of race we expected from McCain — but apparently he is stooping to the lowest level possible with these ads of lies. Do you really think people are just going to believe you and not check out the facts? If so, then you underestimate the people in Pennsylvania !!!

Kathleen

I can’t see how this can possibly be taken out of context. That criticism is usually reserved for one or two sentences. This man’s rant when on for quite awhile. He is antiAmerican. No doubt in my mind. The Emperor has no clothes. Those who can’t see it are mesmerized by bling.

e

Yes, and it is a shame that we are forced to have a president that has no honor, lies and has never run anything in his life.

Who Is Barack Obama?? And would he even qualify for an FBI security clearance if he were to apply for a routine federal government job??

Now that we know every possible detail of Joe the Plumber, maybe it’s time to reflect on the aspects of Obama’s personal and private live that continue to be sheilded from the public, with the assistance of the main-stream media.

Many people are under the mistaken belief that Presidential candidates have gone through an FBI check or some other verification of their background prior to the election process. That is not the case.

The “vetting” is done solely by the electorate, and so far the voters have received only minimal information on Obama, his financial backers, and formative years.

Would OBAMA even qualify for an FBI security clearance if he were to apply for a routine government job (as opposed to running for President)?

Putting aside documents showing his ties to Ayers, ACORN, Wright, Frank Marshall Davis (his communist mentor), etc., here are some examples of the information Obama continues to withhold:

* Obama has released just one brief document detailing his personal health. McCain, on the other hands, released what he said was his complete medical file totaling more than 1500 pages. After criticism on the matter, last week the Obama campaign also released some routine lab-test results and electrocardiograms for Obama. All test results appeared normal, but many details about his health remain a mystery.

* Obama has refused to offer his official papers as a state legislator in Illinois, and has been unable to produce correspondence, such as letters from lobbyists and other correspondence from his days in the Illinois state senate. There are also no appointment calendars available of his official activities. “It could have been thrown out,” Obama said while on the campaign trail during the Democratic primary. “I haven’t been in the state Senate now for quite some time.”

* Obama has not released his client list as an attorney or his billing records. Obama has maintained that he only performed a few hours of legal work for a nonprofit organization with ties to Tony Rezko, the Chicago businessman convicted of fraud in June. But he has not released billing records that would prove this assertion.

* Obama won’t release his college records from Occidental College where he studied for two years before transferring to Columbia.

* Obama’s campaign refuses to give Columbia University, where he earned an undergraduate degree in political science, permission to release his transcripts. Such transcripts would list the courses Obama took, and his grades. President George W. Bush, and presidential contenders Al Gore and John Kerry, all released their college transcripts. (McCain has refused to release his Naval Academy transcript.)

* Obama’s college dissertation has simply disappeared from Columbia Universities archives. In July, in response to a flurry of requests to review Obama’s senior thesis at the Ivy League school, reportedly titled “Soviet Nuclear Disarmament,” Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt told NBC News “We do not have a copy of the course paper you requested and neither does Columbia University.”

* The senator has not agreed to the release of his application to the Illinois state bar, which would clear up intermittent allegations that his application to the bar may have been inaccurate.

* Jim Geraghty of the National Review has written extensively about Obama’s unwillingness to release records related to clients he represented while he was an attorney with the Chicago law firm of Davis, Miner, Barnhill, and Gallard. Obama was required to list his clients during his years in the Illinois senate. “Obama listed every client of the firm,” Geraghty reported, making it impossible to discern which clients he represented.

* Obama has never released records from his time at Harvard Law School.

* Obama also has not disclosed the names of small donors giving $200 or less to his campaign. An exception to the finance-reporting laws exempts the campaign from reporting those who donate less than $200, but that law never envisioned the more than $300 million that has been raised by Obama in small amounts. The Republican National Committee has released its small donors, as well as McCain’s, on a public database.

* International travel records, including those showing why he was able to travel into Pakistan during a time when U.S. Passport holders were not admitted.

People who spout falsehood should be willing to defend it. The security clearance is in his senate office. The problem with you guys is you think that you can say anything and people will be dumb enough to believe you.

Hey Fatima, Is your last name Hussein ??

Does anyone else find it offensive that this man is still running for President after listening to that “Preacher” of his?

Touchet

Unfortunately no. My neighbor finally told me tonight that her husband hits her, but yet she is a good judge of character in a man, and that I should vote for Obama.

America is finished. All people care about is the reality in their heads. It seems to me america is failing bad. I will give it one more election and I’m out.

Yes! Half of America at the very least believes Obama is a viable candidate. How anybody could construct the tortured logic to accept his twenty years in Trinity is beyond me. The world has gone mad. Mad, I tell you!!!!LOL!

LOL

Peggy Sue

Highly offensive!
Thomas Bak

So what!? I watched smoking cigarette commercials on television for YEARS as an impressionable child and I don’t smoke.

John McCain selected Sarah Palin as a running mate and that says volumes about his judgment.

Go Obama!

Rob G in Chicago

Thomas Bak:

And you have selected Obama as your candidate for President, and that says volumes about your lack of judgement, so what makes you think that you can come take a crap at this site and expect anyone to take you seriously ?

Yvette

Bravo!

tony

Well if you believe in this idiot who bad-mouths his own country and whose tuition to Harvard was paid for by the Saudis ( does Atta and the rest of the 9-11 terrorists come to mind ?) Then that says volumes about your judgement!
You guys got your ” Change ” in 2006 when gas was two dollars and the economy was booming when Pelosi and her crooks got in office and look at us now !

dave e

My God, you people represent the worst that is wrong with America. Arrogant, prejudice, faith fakers, and very content sitting in your privacy spouting lies and hate. The biggest difference between people like you and the terrorists is they have bombs.

Ressa

Just read and laugh and Pray for them…regardless of the hate, and eveil words, Obama will be thier president too, no matter how much they hate him. That’s awesome! The difference between most Obama supporters and the people who are spouting hate is that I am not voting for McCain, but I think McCain is a good person and I think he is a nice man and he has done some great things for our country, I would never make racial or nasty comments about him! If he were to win he would be my president and I would respect him for that. It is so sad to see that racsist are still Klu Kluxing around and spouting hate. My God won’t let me hate… what God do these people serve? This election has forced some people to show thier true colors… to show who and what they really are on the inside… evil. All we can do is pray and hope that we come together as a nation and move pass hatred and ignorance. I say God Bless America and all Americans… And I am proud of both men for putting the work and the time and the dedication to run for president! it is not easy, they risk thier lives traveling daily and thier health because they are up late and they are eating on the go, they bothe have beautiful families and they have been through alot as well! God bless them and may the best man win!

Jamie

Did you get your facts from Rednecks for Dummies?

Nellies

Palin has electrified the Republican base & better yet, the conservative base…..she’s a winner (regardless of the outcome) and Obama is a loser (regardless of he outcome)

dave e

And you’re an idiot!

Brad McEnaney

Sarah Palin has close tied to the Alaskan Independence Party and her husband was a member for 7 years. Their founder is quoted as saying “My government is my worst enemy. I’m going to fight them with any means at hand.” So I guess this means that Sarah and Todd Palin believe this since he was a member and she opened their yearly conference.

A Witness to Partial-birth Abortion

In March of 2002, we received communication from a retired nurse who witnessed two partial-birth abortions. Scott Johnston of our research department conducted the following interview with her.

What kind of nursing were you ordinarily doing around the time that these abortions took place?

“Obstetrics.”

How many partial birth abortions did you personally witness?

“Two full-term abortions. They were done at nine months.”

What do you know of the circumstances surrounding these abortions? Why were they being done?

“One of the mothers already had three or four and she didn’t want any more.”

“The other girl was single. She didn’t have a husband and had no means of support. I asked, ‘Why don’t you put the baby up for adoption?’ She said, ‘I don’t know how it would be treated.’”

“The doctor was an O.B. doctor. I would say he was not of the highest caliber either. He had a bad reputation. He had a lot of deaths of babies that were born because he did not take care of them properly. He was sloppy. Normally, this doctor would be in the farthest back delivery room. When they did abortions, the doctors usually had their own nurse. This one didn’t. He was a sleezeball.”

How did it come to be that you were present for these abortions?

“I did not know what I was going into. I was just told to assist him [the doctor]. They just told me which delivery room to go to.”

“The reason I was in on [the first trimester abortion] is because I said to the doctor: even in the first trimester those babies have pain. ‘I’ll bet you it hurts, too.’”

Did you know ahead of time for each case that an abortion was going to be done?

“No.”

Who else was in the room?

“There was one other nurse.”

What were your nursing duties during these procedures?

“I was usually there to receive the baby and take care of the baby when it was born. Their little hands–they grasp for something. They try to grab hold of something.”

Can you describe the partial-birth abortions you witnessed? What did you see?

“He turned the baby around [in the womb] and brought it out feet first. That’s one of the worse things for the mother that you can do. I was helping the doctor hold the baby [to keep it in the birth canal]. The other nurse got the instrument [a large syringe with a large needle], handed it to the doctor, and he inserted it into the base of the skull. Then he pulled the baby out. Its little hands were grasping. When the baby quit grasping, then he delivered it. He used the syringe to suction out the brains. That’s more traumatic on the mother than if she had given a normal birth.”

“They took the [dead] baby and wrapped it up in a receiving blanket and asked her [the mother] if she wanted to hold it. She said she didn’t want to. Neither one of them wanted to see them.”

“They were sent to the morgue.”

What was your reaction?

“I was so sick. I was absolutely nauseous. I couldn’t believe all that was taking place.”

“I told the charge nurse I didn’t want to work with him anymore.”

“I think it’s such a horrible thing. I said a prayer for those babies.”

What was the reaction of the other personnel who were present with you at these abortions?

“With the doctor, he was so nonchalant. It was no big thing.”

“I never saw her [the other nurse] reactions.”

You also witnessed a first trimester abortion. Please describe what happened.

“The doctor did a sonogram to show me that the baby didn’t feel it. On the sonogram, when he started the suction, the baby’s arms spread out. It immediately threw its hands out. Its little arms spread out. So, you know it had to feel it.

[The instrument used for the first trimester abortion] it is a silver tube with stainless steel blades on it. He inserts it first, and then turns on the suction. The baby comes out all shredded. ‘Now, you watch this, and you’ll see how it doesn’t feel a thing.’ [The doctor said] I think it was kind of shocking to him. I looked at him and he looked at me, and then he wouldn’t look at me after that. I don’t think he had used a sonogram before during an abortion. It was over in a short period of time.”

“That doctor is not here [at the same hospital] anymore. He had so many malpractice suits he had to leave town.”

What is the reaction of people you have talked to since then about what happened?

“Anybody who starts talking about partial birth abortion, I say, ‘Do you know what it is?’ And I tell them what it is! They just usually look kind of wide-eyed with their mouths open. And one girl said, ‘I don’t believe you.’ I said, ‘why should I stand up here and lie to you?’ Most people are just shocked.”

PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION= MONSTER= OBAMA
Suds

I disbelieve this. I lost a dear, dear friend because she got in terrible trouble right at the end of pregnancy and it was either one live or neither live. Well, neither lived. “Partial birth abortion” is not a medical term- it is “late term abortion”. That already makes me doubt your claim to being a nurse.

200% AGREE WITH YOU. I WISH PEOPLE SEE IT BEFORE THEY ELECT THE CONMAN WHO WILL SAY AND DO ANY THING TO GET ELECTED.IT IS VERY SCARY.
Yvonne

Did you read the whole sermon about how America has strayed from God and needs to repent — right after 9/11, many fundamentalist preachers were saying the same, even predicting that the end of time was near because of the state of the nation. Get the facts before passing judgment — don’t just listen to the excerpts these people want you to hear.
Obama All The Way!

McCain looks like a liar with those tight lips and weird face. He cant identify with middle class people, he has over 7 houses! The preacher was a little harsh, but he spoke the truth about alot of horrible things white people do to african americans. Why do u think it is ok to mistreat people just for their skin color but when someone speaks up against the real truth, you’re uncomfortable with it. Get over it! The Truth Is The Truth!

Monet

Why do you think it’s okay to use the letter ‘u’ for you? I tend to disregard any opinions that can’t correctly type a sentence.

Jamie

Yes your right, we should all be accountable for any conversations we’ve had with anyone we have encountered in our entire lives. I hope I’m not even accountable for what my own mother says or have listened to half the time. What I find offensive is the ignorance people have no problem displaying. Come on people are you really that stupid to believe this nonsense these people are putting on commercials? And I guess you’re the people that believe in flying saucers!!!LOL

I understand Ayers refers to him as a “political prisoner.”

Wonder how many Americans feel sorry for Sirhan Sirhan?

Political prisoner, as if he’d been arrested and thrown into jail unjustly after shooting a man [who would have undoubtedly been President] in the head.

The unbelievable is that Sen. Kennedy and Caroline Kennedy have endorsed Obama.

dave e

What is wrong with you people, they just know each other. Obama didn’t write the dedication, Ayers is just one of a thousand people he’s met in his life same as all of us. The fact that you are an eager contributor to this dribble and crap puts you in worse company than knowing a William Ayers.

Re: Sirhan Sirhan- I remember once a comedian (can’t remember who) was talking about one of Sirhan Sirhan’s parole boards and how Sirhan had said that RFK would have wanted him to be set free after all these years. And the comedian said “The one guy who would have let you out and you freaking killed him.” LOL

Thanks for posting the ads.

I don’t think I could sit in a room with Ayers without spitting on him. I don’t get how his elite circle of friends can justify his behavior. I just don’t think I could twist reality around that much so that I could feel comfortable with his radical ideas. I suppose some people really have convinced themselves that 2 plus 2 really equals 5 and all the really cool people know that.

bethtopaz

Think about this: who are our two biggest enemies? Radical Islam and Communism.

Who killed RFK and JFK? A Radical Muslim and a Communist.

The two last great and patriotic Democrat American politicians.

Bobby was fighting the Mafia and JFK hated Communism.

Because BO will lose dramatically.
But unfortunately not because of his shady background or his lack of substance.

I think he will lose, because nobody likes him.

Not compulsively. Add his inexperience, race-baiting, and misogyny to the list. There are degrees to everything. Obama’s multiple associations, all indicating a clear philosophical pattern, either reveal a carefully disguised agenda and/or the ultimate political opportunist, who will use anyone/thing to advance himself.

There are 9 million jews in America. Why do the voices of so few have an outcome on our foreign policy? The US has more relatives in the Liberia,Nigeria,sierrra leon, cameroon area.

BHO says little to jack on defense of Israel. His no condition talk to IRAN is gonna go nowhere. Hes against space missle technology. Which means we will never develop a system to protect our allies againset missles.

Forget a strong defense. Hes gonna talk to make us all safe.

You raise some excellent questions about Jewish behavior. Interesting too how that the Jews who actively resisted Hitler fared much better on average than those who compliantly boarded the trains to the concentration camps.

Maybe those kind of contradictions are the reason why in the Bible, God deals with mankind through the Jewish people. They are representative of all of us.

Just a thought.

Sarracuda…It’s actually worse if they don’t release the LA Times tape. It just proves that, yet again, OHitler the POS has something to hide. If they would have just let it go, OHitler and his staff of 10,000 advisors would have found an excuse. Now there isn’t one. OHitler hates Jews. Period.

BREAKING NEWS: State Lawmaker Joins Quest for Information on Obama

I’m with Rep. Metcalfe. This isn’t just a Barack Obama-centric issue. This is a constitutional issue. Let’s have the documentation from all candidates, and let’s make sure there’s oversight as to eligibility in the future.

After Obama, McCain Rulings, State Rep. Wants Presidential Candidates to Prove Citizenship, Place of Birth
By Alex Roarty, PolitickerPA.com

A week after a Pennsylvania lawsuit challenging Barack Obama’s right to run for president was thrown out of court, a state lawmaker has authored a bill that would force presidential candidates to prove they’re a United States citizen before being placed on state ballots.

“As a veteran and an elected official who takes an oath of office, just like every past and future President of the United States, to uphold and defend the Constitutional rights of the citizens I represent, it is greatly perplexing and beyond troubling that a political candidate can ascend to the White House without providing sufficient documentation verifying his or her place of birth or American citizenship,” state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler County) said in a statement. “This legislation is intended to send the message that even those candidates who are running for our nation’s highest office are not above the law.”

Former Chairman of the Montgomery County Democratic Committee Philip Berg filed the suit against Obama, saying the candidate did not provide an authentic birth certificate. The judge ruled against him, saying harm from an allegedly ineligible candidate was “too vague and its effects too attenuated to confer standing on any and all voters.”

In an interview with PolitickerPA.com, Metcalfe said many of his constituents came to his office asking him about the validity of the lawsuit against Obama. When he and his staff researched the issue, Metcalfe said they were shocked to find out presidential candidates in Pennsylvania don’t have to prove that they were born in the United States, or that they are a citizen.

Every other elected office in the state must provide proof they are eligible to run, he said.

“I think the majority of citizens would be shocked there isn’t more oversight of candidates by state government,” Metcalfe said.

The lawmaker argues he is only trying to close a loophole that will put voters’ minds at ease about the candidates on the ballot. Even with the intense scrutiny a presidential candidate must endure, the state must have a system of checks and balances, he said.

“It would really be the greatest hoax in U.S. history if somebody did get past the scrutiny,” he said.

Still, it’s almost impossible to separate his stated intention and the questions some Republicans have about Obama’s origins. Rumors have spread that Obama was actually born outside the country and that his birth certificate is a fake. That birth certificate proves he was born in Hawaii in 1961.

Asked if he thinks the Democratic presidential nominee was born in the United States and is a citizen, Metcalfe didn’t equivocally answer “yes.”

“You would certainly think someone is, having held office as a state senator and U.S. senator,” Metcalfe said. “I think every American would think that.

“This has not been a question I’ve been involved in trying to investigate, as far as where he was born,” he added.

Metcalfe also said his bill will obviously not take effect by Nov. 4.

John McCain’s right to run for president has also been challenged by some. The Republican presidential nominee has born in the Panama Canal Zone while his father was stationed there with the U.S. Navy.

A U.S. District Judge in California in September threw out a similar lawsuit against McCain, saying both his parents were U.S. citizens and recognizing a law passed a year after McCain’s birth retroactively making those born in the zone “natural-born citizens.”

Metcalfe is at times a controversial figure in the Pennsylvania General Assembly. During the summer he opposed a state House resolution that would have sponsored a Muslim’s group’s convention in Philadelphia.

His high-profile stances on positions like abortion, immigration and marriage have prompted his opponent in the 12th Legislative District to accuse him of not focusing enough on local issues.

Saw the GOPtrust ad. Sad, sick hate mongering. Nothing Obama has espoused shows he holds any of the views of which you accuse him.

Makes me want to vote for Obama even more. Go Obama!

are you saying Obama’s Favorite Preacher™ offended you with his hateful words?

Yes because Obama’s relationships with Ayers (who dedicated a book to Sirhan, Sirhan), Kahlidi, Lewis Farakhan, Rev. Wright, and Frank Marshall Davis show that he is a true American patriot.

I guess my idea of being an American means I am now not in America anymore.
fif

Oh riiiiight. He didn’t sit in that church for 20 years with his “family” member Wright. He didn’t know about his constantly advertised views on Black Liberation Theology. I have a bridge I want to sell you. You are obviously that gullible.
AMERICAN SAWBUCK

You sir are deaf dumb and blind and jacked up on too much kool aid to reason with…and oh yeah maybe you are just plain STUPID !!!!!

Lindsy

I’m afraid the GOP has done too little too late. The MSM refuses to report Sirhan,Sirhan, Kahlidi or anything that would bring Obama down.

With 1 in every 5 voters already having voted and Obama leading those votes by 9%- McCain is in real trouble.

fif

Nice try again Lindsy, but they do not count the votes until Nov. 4th, so that 9% figure is mythical. Remember the exit polls had Kerry winning in 2004? How did that turn out?

Pat King

What is needed to bring back the senior vote that has been drifting toward Obama is a realistic presentation of what an Obama tax policy will do to their 401K accounts and any other investments made in their names, as in retirement fund investments.

It was recently announced that H. Wayne Huizenga is planning on selling his 45% ownership of the Miami Dolphins because of Obama’s proposed increase in capital gains tax. The capital gains tax is independent of your income level, if you make $20,000 or $200,000.

This means, in event of an Obama presidency, any stock sold after 12/31/08 will be taxed at a higher Obama rate. Therefore, anyone with any sense will sell off stock by New Year’s Eve. If you think the stock market dived in Sept-Oct, just wait for Nov-Dec. The value of 401Ks and retirement funds will go into the tank–no–to the bottom of the Marianas Trench.

Someone needs to make that point and get the old folks (of which I am one) back to voting with their heads and their self-interest.

They also need to know that Obama’s proposed health plan will put a greatly increased demand on health care and will need to be put on a triage basis. Guess who will get priority on the availability list–an 80-year-old man with severe heart problems or a 30-year-old father of four who is a computer engineer? This is not a trivial question.
Frank Wray/author

It is figured out. Sen. Clinton had the tape of Obama and gave it to the L.A. Times to use against Obama in the primaries. Hwever, the DNC did not want her to use it and it cost her the primary. They promised the DNC they would not use the tape, so it sits in someone’s desk. So sad. She is going to sell the country down the drain if they elect Obama. Frank here in Va.

fif

Figured out by who? That’s pure conjecture.

Lindsy

The senior vote may very well swing this election to Obama. They are always reliable voters and many of them are convinced that McCain is going to cut their social security- due to Obama’s misleading ads.

The GOP seriously dropped the ball on counter attacking this issue and ultimately that may very well cost us.

They also never seized the opportunity to discuss the 401k plan the Dems are proposing.

Lastly, there will be no whitey tape. If it was to be released it should have already been done. Most people have now made up their minds and it is too late to make an impact at this point.

fif

Wrong wrong wrong. Every election has shown that a large portion of voters decide in the last 48 hours.

This mentor of Obama is worth taking a look at on you tube. He makes the Rev. Wright look like Bill Buckley. I especially enjoyed the part where he encourages Moslems to cut off the nose, ears and flesh of white people.

If you don’t think Obama is a supporter of Radical Islam and communism then just google for the video of him campaigning with and for Odinga in Kenya who is an admitted communist educated in the former East Germany and who made a pact with the Muslim party to impliment Islamic Law in Kenya if they backed him.

Now all of a sudden he was born in Canada and Malcolm X is his father!! Oh, and he is a Socialist- If Obama is a Socialist then so is McCain and Palin. Make up your minds!

I just finished an administrative meeting in anticipation of an obama victory. Here is my plan:I have ten employees and really need only six. I have always tried to employ as many people as I could even if I did not need all of them.(My lowest paid staff member makes nearly 3x minimum wage plus I pay 90% of their retirement,95% of their health care insurance,100% of their contiuing education,100% of uniform costs very generous vacation,sick and personal days,generous bonuses and spending/shopping money on education tips and on and on and on) Do not forget that they pay taxes! My family and I are very good to our staff. So,if Obama wins we have decided which four to terminate. I will still be able to take good care of the six remaining tax payers but the other four will be unemployed or on welfare and not pay any taxes. Makes sense to me (tongue-in-cheek). Way to go Obama!Let us see if trickle-up works?

This will be the first time in my life but my wife and I will be voting for Obama tomorrow. I am sick and tired of this negative type of adds.

Sandy

Tyler Hunter: You and your wife , and all of America should care about the issue with Obama’s pastor for the past twenty years. This preacher is a far left radical, and blames all the problems on “white” America. he teaches hatred, not “love thy neigbor”. You know after 20 WHOLE years of Reverand Wright screaming to “hate the white people, and things like “GD America”, that Obama had to have been “brainwashed” by a lot of these teachings. Also, on Obama’s airplane he has the sunset symbol on the side which is the symbol of the muslims. And, as far as Obama’s promise to not tax 95% of the middle class is not true. This tax plan(the 95% thing) is the Federal Income Tax only. Obama is going to tax most all of you, by a whole lot, on other things you have, or use. He didn’t tell you that part. He plans to tax the 401k’s, every dividend some may get from their stock investments, he plans to greatly increase the taxes on your electricity(his words were) “your electric bills will skyrocket on my plan’,he plans to place high additional taxes on every gallon of gasoline you purchase, he plans to put many people out of jobs by charging high penalties on coal mines for any environmental emissions any plant may produce into the air to the point that he said he would bankrupt them. Biden said they plan to have no coal mining in America.
We need coal to generate a good portion of our energy and we need to improve the production of it to make it a cleaner product using better technology, which will take a period of time to better develop it. It needs to be included in America’s new energy plans. If America had of taken the time to read Obama’s books he has written, and articles his wife has written; you would all find that you need to get on your knees and start praying for McCaine to be elected tomorrow.

I have been assulted with your PSA’s for the last four days re: Obama’s association with the rev., and would NOT vote for McCain now! I have known
many priests and ministers in my 60 years, and you can NEVER predict what
message they will deliver on any given Sunday, (or if they happen to be pedifiles). I would really like to hear the whole sermon, so I can understand
exactly why he said what he did. It is so easy to take a few words out of context
and repeat them ad nauseum. I have heard alot of reverse racial hatred spewed from the pulpits of ministers professing to be delivering God’s word. As for the RISK factor: The BIGGER risk, in my
mind would be the possibility of having gov. Palin in the White House should
anything happen to McCain! Somehow I get the feeling that whatever Obama
doesn’t know, he’s at least smart enough to admit, and will seek advice. McCain
admits he knows nothing about economics, but then acts like does.

VOTE McCAIN…..PLZZ

Polls have consistently show that negative attack ads don’t work and are counter productive. I am sure the every time you ran your “Rev Wright” ad it convinced thousands more voters to vote for Senator Obama.

How interesting it is that although the Democrats symbol is the donkey, your organization are the jackasses.

The Republican Party used to stand FOR something and had principles. Now you are just fear and hate mongers. If and when the Party returns to its principles you can win elections.
ltg

It seems as if the country has responded to these weak minded “too radical too risky” ads and failed policies of the last eight years. “licences for illegals” is one of the most pathetic excuses against Obama that I have ever seen. I would like to see just for kicks how this country would function without working class immigrant labor. Is this seriously the best you could come up with? Thats really weak
Jerry the Capitalist

I just finished reading all the posts, and it is distressing to read all the negative attacks from both sides. Yes the ads were negative, and they did work to get all of the undecided voters for McCain, but it wasn’t enough. I am not a member of any political party, I am an individual private investor who is too busy to hate. If I approached investing like most people approached politics, I would have never become a successful investor.

The election is over and we have a new president. I predict that we will have a deeper recession, double digit unemployment, more companies moving overseas, and higher taxes and prices. Being a student of the world wide markets and investing, I have come to know that the markets are too huge, and beyond the control of any US President. The ball is now in the hands of the Democrats, and they can no longer blame the Republicans for whatever happens.

As an aside to that thought, it is my opinion as an outside observer that is is difficult for me to see much difference between the Republicans and Democrats. The 8 years of Bush showed an orgy of spending by both sides.

My philosophy of life is somewhere between conservitism, Libertarian, and a Constitutionalist. Since I am a Capitalist, I would wish for limited government,and personal responsibility, ahd freedom to persue my dreams. There is no party out there to represent me.

My suggestion to any political movement that wants to run the Government, is they will have to put together a grass roots movement based on a positive message, that is based on what people really want, and then put together a detailed plan that is based on real economic principles. A campaign based on that and staying on message will be heard by the American people. There will be no need for negative attacks. There is a principle in sales, that you salesmen out there will recognize, you don’t sell your product by bad mouthing your competitors, you just convince them that you have a better product.

One final thought to share. I had a college professor who conducted his annual fireside chat with my fraternity. He told us that there are 3 truths in the world. There is truth as you see it, there is truth as I see it, and there is truth as it really exists. Our job is to seek that real truth by sharing ideas and seeking it together. So please forget the name calling on this blog. Share some genuine thoughts that are thought out, and make this a positive thread of ideas.

Well that is my 2 cents worth, what about you.

I am very concerned about the silence of the Republican Party relative to the REAL cause of our current economic crisis. Where are the Conservative spokespersons who should tell the citizens and the world about the Democrats who have caused this crisis??!?!? Unless something is done SOON, history will blame the REPUBLICANS for it just as history has blamed HOOVER!!!!! C’mon Conservatives…have some guts….!!!!!!

Question for BO

During the Revolution, What would have happened if General Washington didnt cling to his religion and guns while in valley Forge Pennsylvania?

There would be no Chi-town made carpetbagger who is almost POTUS.

We have been hearing about so many tapes- so many bombshells this entire election.

NONE of them have surfaced- not a single one. And the ones that I believe do exist get conveinently hidden from the public under the ever watchful of the Obama media.

If the whitey tape does exist- the only media who would play it is FOX- and only people who aren’t voting for Obama anyway watch Fox news.
CNN and MSNBC would not play it even if it does exist.

Securety clearance is not granted just because you are elected to office. and the CIA will not grant him unfettered access to there wourld this could be bad for our country if the CIA knows something and cant tell the chosen one! think about that one

Correct.

If any tapes do exist I’m sure that Obama with his over $600 billion treasure chest has already bought the silence of them.

Well another dull tack on the board. Why don’t you go back farther, what would Christopher Columbus have done if the indians had been smart and killed the invaders right on the shores.
Jesus, are you people stupid.
