New Report: Reserve Supplies of Kool Aid “Dangerously Low”

The big question haunting obama campaign headquarters these days is, “Is there enough kool aid in the world to keep our troops believing and fighting for us?” Winston Churchill famously said that “rum, sodomy, and the lash” were responsible for the success of the British Navy. There may not be any sodomy or corporal punishment on Obama’s Ship of Fools (oh pipe down about Larry Sinclair, ya swabbies!), but whoo-hee! that Kool Aide is some powerful juice!

It eats your brain and forces you to repeat the same phrases over and over again: Barack, Barack, Barack. O-Ba-Ma, O-Ba-Ma. Man! It’s weird. And what’s with all his supporters referring to him by his first name? It’s like they think he knows who they are. Snap out of it! Barack has no freaking clue who you are. He does not care! Wake up! It’s really kind of creepy.

The effects of this Demon Kool Aide also include an irresistable desire to attack women. It’s weird really. Drink enough of the red juice and Blam! Your latent bullying instincts suddenly take over your brain and your will. Five minutes before you were a mild-mannered cubicle jockey splitting your time between wondering how a schmuck like you was ever going to get a piece of the late stage hyper-capitalist ACTION and checking out free porn sites on the internet while playing WoW with all your online buddies, and then BOOM! You suddenly find yourself writing emails like this to people you don’t know:

You guys are a f*cking joke. You pretend to be Democrats, but you’re really Republicans. You’re not fooling anyone. Not really.

A real Dem, or real Independent who has a brain, would not want a man who’s supported Bush 90% of the time for these past 8 years, and been a cheerleader for the unnecessary war in Iraq. That would be McCain, in case your possible Alzheimer’s brain needed reminding.

So go ahead and vote for McCain. Let’s have at least another 5-10 years of war in Iraq, an unsupported war against the Taliban and Al Queda in Afghanistan, a f*cked up economy for another 4-8 years. Why not? You’re rich, you PUMAs, so you don’t care, you’re not hurting financially. No one who’s really hurting financially is supporting McCain.

Yeah, the economy has been entirely stagnant for the past 8 years. Let’s keep that up.

Too bad you people don’t have any brains. If you don’t live in the still-backwards South, where the education of the American citizens is STILL the lowest in the country, I’m sure they’d welcome you there.

Or you click from “Hot Teen Chicks Delivered Straight to Your Door” to this IBD/TIPP Poll showing that O-Ba-MA has lost his lead over McCain and the race is now statistically tied with fully 11% of respondents still undecided (in the primaries, undecideds broke for Clinton 4 to 1 and 5 to 1). Also this year pollers are experiencing an 80% hang-up rate. In normal years the hang-up rate is around 40%. And to really get you boys, um deflated, there is also the news that even though O-Ba-MA spent millions on ACORN and other efforts to increase voter registration this year, so far polls are showing that the number of new voters casting votes for the first time is the same as it always is, around 13%. Yikes. Now that’s pretty emasculating.

Kinda makes you want to do something like THIS. Or THIS.

Not us though. We Pumas have always been repulsed by campaign violence, cheating, and intimidation. We saw enough of it first hand in Nevada and Iowa and Texas during the primaries. We were hounded from enough political blogs and online sites to realize we REALLY don’t like it when violent, bullying, cheating elements take over a campaign. In fact, that’s EXACTLY why we started the Puma Movement in the first place.

To challege people like you.

Pumas, there are 11 days left. Don’t give up and don’t give in. Here’s a suggestion I received in email this morning for something anyone can do. Get involved. You’re an American citizen.

Act like one.

Video the Vote 2008

Video the Vote is a national initiative to protect voting rights by monitoring the electoral process. We organize citizen journalists—ordinary folks like you and me—to document election problems as they occur. And then we distribute their footage to the mainstream media and online to make sure the full story of Election Day gets told. Watch our 2006 highlights and join us as we Video the Vote this November.
http://www.videothevote.org/
Another suggesion to contact your local/county campaign headquarters, and sign up to be a poll watcher! They may assign you to your own precinct or assign you to one that doesn’t already have a watcher. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!! WE MUST COVER ALL OF OUR PRECINCTS/DRISTRICTS!

I’ve sent out a ton of alerts to the media and got a response from Lou Dobbs. If anyone wants to call in on an issue, please do it. I sent him Billie Jo’s prowl from yesterday and all I have on Obama. If anyone wants to call in to his show and discuss anything anti-Obama, please do it.

“Thanks for your email. You make a great point, and we’d like to bring it up on the air during the show. So please give us a call at 1-877-553-6227 between 3 PM and 5 PM (Eastern Time) and let’s talk about it.

Most of all, thanks for listening, and for being part of the Independent Nation.

All the best,

Lou Dobbs and the staff of The Lou Dobbs Show”

P.S. MURPHY, all of your preambles are so great, I can only read in awe of you!! Great job as usual

#6 PumaDuma on 10.24.08 at 7:46 am

I received this yesterday from VA PUMA…PLEASE HELP!

NoHillaryNoVote, on October 23rd, 2008 at 9:49 pm Said:

I am sharing this idea on several blogs this week where others are not supporting Obama.

For the record:
I am a PUMA in northern VA
I am a Black woman
I am a registered democrat
I am one of the voters who supported Hillary Clinton in the primary

AND I am not voting for Obama-Biden.

I am so tired of hearing about Obama spending big bucks to run his infomercial on October 29th by trying to blanket mainstream television airways.

I think we need to begin to promote a “Turn off Obama-TV” on October 29th. I say – Do NOT Listen to or Watch Obama’s 30 minute commercial on October 29, 2008. Obama thinks he can MAKE us listen to what he has to say by spending all that money in order to have his commercial on several networks at the same time. We do NOT have to listen. We do NOT have to support this gimmick.

Let’s all participate in: “Turn Off Obama-TV” that night. On October 29th for that specific 30 minutes: Push mute – Turn down the sound – Change the channel – or Turn off the television. Do not listen to any more of Obama’s hot air, false promises or his lies about McCain-Palin.

INSTEAD for that 30 minutes do something else with your brain cells — (here’s a few ideas)

Watch a different tv program
Watch a DVD or video
Listen to the radio
Listen to a CD
Read a book or magazine
Play a board game
Surf the web
Watch YouTube videos
Call a friend on the phone
Play a video game
Write an email to a friend
Work on one of the word games or word puzzles in the newspaper
Play the piano (or instrument of your choice)
Do some exercising
Play a card game
Work on your family’s scrapbooks
Bake Halloween cookies or cupcakes
Work on your favorite hobby

Between now and Oct 29th – Let others know that you are choosing NOT to listen to & to NOT watch Obama’s commercial. And encourage others to join in a national response to this media effort.

Please join me by choosing to turn away from Obama’s efforts to control the outcome of this election by spending so much money on a one night media blitz.

Tell all your family & friends to “Turn Off Obama-TV” on Oct. 29th!!

Great post Murphy.

For all the spynobots;

I AM a registered democrat for 33 years.

I AM a lifetime resident of OHIO, (voter fraud state thanks to ACORN and Jennifer Brunner Secretary of State).

I AM educated and a small business owner.

I AM NOT supporting Barack Obama.

I AM NOT racist, I AM wise.

I WILL be voting for McCain for the next POTUS.

Get it, got it, GOOD!

NYERS ‘SWING’ & MISS BAD OHIO VOTES NIXED

More VOTED FRAUD – But “no evidence of criminal intent” and will not pursue charges.

The ballots of four wealthy New York Democrats were yanked yesterday after they admitted they set up a temporary house in Ohio and then voted in the battleground state. (There were more than these 4)

It’s also on FOX News right now!!

#11 hoosiermike on 10.24.08 at 8:18 am

The story about the McCain campaign volunteer is just sickening. That just infuriated me. And last night I caught a news bit that was talking about the extraordinary amount of money that Soetoro is spending in this campaign. They described it as essentially a “blank check” that he has to run his ads in whatever state he wants. They talked about how grand his crowds were and blah-blah-blah….

So first thing in the morning today, I jumped on the McCain/Palin website and donated $15.00. I know that’s not much, but right now it’s all I can afford to give this week, and I desperately want to see this fraud lose. I’ve only been able to give about $30 to McCain/Palin so far, where I was able to give Hillary a lot more than that.

I would fall over rolling on the floor with laughter and glee if on Nov. 5, after spending hundreds of millions of dollars from so many clueless O-bots, Obama loses. I know it’s still possible, and I know we can influence this election. Heck, we already have in many ways, and I firmly believe if BO loses, it will be mostly due to PUMAs like us that never give up.

Here’s an idea PUMAs. Lou Dobbs (I know, CNN, ugh…) spends a lot of time talking addressing the illegal alien issue. Maybe we should sic him on ole’ Barry Soetoro. The Berg case deserves national attention on news outlets. If one covered it, then others would be pressured to follow…

#12 BrianH on 10.24.08 at 8:19 am

Personally, I think Oblabla is done like dinner.

#13 hoosiermike on 10.24.08 at 8:20 am

Anyone want to match my donation to McCain-Palin Victory 2008?

Thank you for your generous contribution of $15.00 to McCain-Palin Victory 2008. If I have the honor of standing up for you as the next President of the United States along with the conservatives in Congress, it will be because you stood by us during this historic contest.

#14 1gypsy4mc on 10.24.08 at 8:21 am

11 hoosiermike That was nice of you. I’m going to do the same thing. Next week will really be critical!

#15 Quinn4Hillary on 10.24.08 at 8:28 am

Great one Murphy!

The effects of this Demon Kool Aide also include an irresistable desire to attack women.

Sounds like the Kool Aid is now being laced with a Political GHB Drug. GHB = Gone Hogwild for Bomma.

I’m heading down to Florida to canvas this weekend thru Monday…. the disheartening thing about it? The same gals (some of them, not all) who I traveled with during the Primary for Hillary, have now jumped ship for BO – in the past 2 to 3 weeks ALONE.

I truly wish the Kool Aid *would* run dry!

In 2004, Axelrod worked for the presidential campaign of John Edwards. During the campaign, he lost responsibility for making ads, but continued as the campaign’s spokesman. Regarding Edwards’ failed 2004 presidential campaign, Axelrod has commented, “I have a whole lot of respect for John, but at some point the candidate has to close the deal and—I can’t tell you why—that never happened with John.”[6] [7]

In 2006, Axelrod consulted for several campaigns, including for the successful campaigns of Eliot Spitzer in New York’s gubernatorial election and for Deval Patrick in Massachusetts’s gubernatorial election. Axelrod also served in 2006 as the chief political adviser for Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chair U.S. Representative Rahm Emanuel for the U.S. House of Representatives elections, in which the Democrats gained 31 seats.

seems Axelrod, loves men who love to commit adultry, so why would he or Obama care about how women candidates are treated, a fine chicago man, yeah right,

#55 Henerietta on 10.24.08 at 9:36 am

I have thought for a while that the ACORN registrations will not net the Obama campaign many votes. Now that they have been caught registering the same people multiple times, those people do not dare show up to vote those multiple times. It would mean they would surely go to jail. Some people who thought they could pull of this fraud may have many, many, many second thoughts, especially since some states have already arrested individuals who allowed themselves to be serially registered.

I NEVER, EVER thought I would agree with or be listening to Rush Limbaugh. But on Fox this morning he said McCain should be out telling the truth about who got us into this finanacial mess….instead he is afraid to lash out directly at the Dems because he is worreid about losing the Independents. He referred to the info in this article which was posted on this site by someone a few weeks back. I copied it and sent it to a bunch of my liberal friends. It’s worth reposting:

************************************
Wake Up, America
By INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Monday, October 06, 2008 4:20 PM PT

A nation that doesn’t know history is destined to repeat its serious mistakes. People swayed by carefully crafted political propaganda relentlessly repeated and effectively delivered can easily lose their freedom and way of life.

——————————————————————————–

IBD Series: After The Rescue: Challenges Ahead

——————————————————————————–

How many times have you been told by soaring, almost hypnotic oratory that “the direct causes of our financial crisis and subprime real estate loan mess were the greedy banks, big corporations and the failed economic policies of George Bush”?

It’s common to blame the one in power. This time, however, it’s 100% wrong.

Every American, young or old, must be told who was really behind the subprime loan disaster that threw our economy off track and injured the good people who lost their homes — like those now boarded up in Cleveland and other major cities — plus the millions of other citizens hurt by yet another failed Big Government-run program gone awry.

In 1977, Jimmy Carter and a Democrat Congress created the Community Reinvestment Act mandating that banks make more housing loans to lower-income and inner-city borrowers. It was for a well-intended social cause and even appeared to work in the 1980s.

View larger image
But in 1995, President Clinton imposed even tougher regulations that forced banks to make dramatically more subprime loans to previously unqualified people with lower credit scores in higher-risk areas.

Government regulators rated banks by how well they performed in meeting these strict new CRA obligations. Failure to comply meant stiff penalties and limits on mergers, acquisitions and expansion.

Big Government forced the lowering of long-proven safe-lending standards. Most of the more than $1 trillion of new subprime CRA loans had adjustable rates. Many required no documentation of the borrower’s income and little or no down payment.

For the first time, the Clinton regulatory rules allowed and encouraged lenders to bundle the new, riskier subprime loans with prime loans and sell these packages to other institutions. The first one hit the market in 1997. That tragic blunder let loan originators make their profits faster and eliminate any future risk for those lower-quality loans. It let them turn around and make even more CRA-type loans and sell them off in packages again, with little future risk.

It was a government-sponsored pyramid scheme, with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac providing the implied government backing by buying ever larger amounts of these risky subprimes.

Freddie and Fannie also became heavy donors to top members of Congress. These included Sen. Chris Dodd, a young Sen. Barack Obama and Rep. Barney Frank, who aggressively defended the highly leveraged, extremely risky lending against any reforms.

Ironically, the Bush administration repeatedly went to Congress in 2004, 2005 and 2006 to obtain stronger oversight and some limits on Freddie and Fannie’s reckless subprime lending. And each time, it was voted down by Democrats in Congress, led by Frank, now chairman of the Financial Services Committee.

Bottom line: This whole mess was another Big Government program created, designed and run by Democrats. It started with great intentions but resulted in typically awful unintended consequences that materially hurt the very people they were supposed to help.

Worse, this incompetence put our financial system in jeopardy. It’s reminiscent of LBJ’s two lost wars — the War in Vietnam and the War on Poverty.

Many government housing projects, though well-intended as part of LBJ’s War on Poverty, later deteriorated into slums that became recruiting grounds to get very young new gang members.

That’s how we got into this financial mess — and why the $700 billion rescue package was passed

I once belonged to a discussion board with people living abroad. Some of them actually advocate open borders between ALL countries, including the USA! They think every nation should allow anyone and everyone to come and go as they please. They say this is the ‘natural way’ the world is supposed to function. They were agast that I thought otherwise.

Guess what? These people ALL support Obama.

LYNN DE ROTHSCHILD WHO HERSELF IS A BRILLIANT WOMAN AND ATTENDED A COLLEGE THAT EVEN GRETA SAID SHE COULDN’T GET INTO HAS AFFIRMED THAT SARAH PALIN IS EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT AND THE QUICKEST STUDY SHE’S EVER SEEN!!

MY GOD, ISN’T IT OBVIOUS?

Sarah Palin negotiated the largest infrastructure project in the history of the united states! A $40 billion dollar natural gas pipeline!

A stupid person can’t do this kind of a deal!

She also runs an $11 billion dollar budget and 29,000 employees in Alaska. Obama has only managed to give nearly a billion dollars to the corrupt ACORN.

Need inspiration to “keep going” this morning?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdzh_M14Vo4

Let’s not give up now folks! We have to win this election and defeat BHO. Failure is not an option….we’ve tasted defeat once when the ONC cast us and Hillary off to the side!

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to feel that extreme disappointment and grief again that we felt during the roll call vote at the convention.

Let’s keep going. No one else is going to defeat Obama. WE have to. WE are the ones that have worked so hard and come so far, and with only 11 days to go, now is definitely not the time to slack off.

We need to double our efforts to sway every undecided voter we can reach to vote for McCain, and instill doubt in the minds of those leaning towards BHO. Let them see the truth about this fraudulent, sorry excuse for a candidate.

I’ve been also donating whenever I can to the McCain-Palin Victory 2008 fund. It’s frustrating that BHO is outspending McCain 4-1 and more across the U.S. and we have to see and hear his trash every day on the TV and radio.

Let’s make the difference in this last week and a half!

If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going! If there’s shouting after you, keep going! Don’t ever stop! Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going!

–Hillary Clinton, 2008 (paraphrasing Harriet Tubman)

#89 Rabblerouser on 10.24.08 at 10:02 am

Good Morning PUMAs. I’ve been staying away from TV and the media in general. I’m so disgusted. It seems like it’s a foregone conclusion that BO will / has won. He’s strutting around like he’s already the winner. Just makes me feel more contempt for him.

This weeks Newsweek has a cover story:
How a President Obama might govern a center-right nation

If no one can see the contradiction in this then we’ve all been secretly given mind altering drugs. If America is a center-right nation, why would the majority of Americans vote for someone who is so extremely on the left? There are two possibilities if BO is “elected”. That Americans are just plain stupid. Or the more likely scenario, that this is all fixed.

I’ll be stopping at the McCain headquarters in Keene, NH today – I have some errands to run in that area. I’m bringing those flyers with me and I’ll be sure to wear my Demcrats for McCain pin. We have a little over a week left, but there still may be hope.

Pat Buchanan on the Media.

P.S. I voted for Pat Buchanan for President on one issue alone, illegal immigration, which I am rabid about. He was going to put a moratorium on legal immigration for 5 years. We have too many people coming here and we need to stabilize the country. Obama is planning to give illegals drivers licenses, medical care, and the like.

As a registered Dem, I can tell you I have crossed party lines many times. I note on this blog some of you have never crossed party lines. I usually vote issues that matter to me. That is why I think “Joe the Plumber” will be a huge boost for McCain.

#92 KarenWI on 10.24.08 at 10:05 am

Good Grief! That email Murphy has in the header is disgusting! Apparently that koolaid drinker doesn’t know that Obama voted “present” on all of the important bills, and the rest voted 97% of the time with Pelosi, Reid, and the rest of that “pack”. To make matter worse, he forgot that the economy was GOOD for the first 6 years of Bush’s presidency (with the exception of the time after 9/11, which would wreck the economy after ANY president); and only got bad after the dems took over the congress 2 years ago! The emailer also doesn’t grasp what Biden said, and how having Obama as president would cause an international crisis that we wouldn’t have with a president McCain- and that Obama’s decision would be one we wouldn’t agree with!!! That emailer also doesn’t understand how much more important it is to save our country than to be loyal to a party! Drinking the koolaid has numbed his brain so it can’t think with any sense or logic anymore…. I feel bad for him, losing his brain like that. Sounds like a candidate to go see the “Wizard of Oz”..

When she was challenging him to stop the spinning and answer her question, he got his “Bad Billy” face on (where his eyes roll up in his head and a contorted grin stretches across his mouth) and he accused Fox News of “having a dog in this fight…”

Info–Just SayNoDeal
We never thought we’d be here, but we are.
On June 8, a group of Hillary’s most ardent supporters formed a coalition called Just Say No Deal. What followed was a viral explosion which grew organically and virtually. We put our families, jobs, reputations and even, in some cases, our lives and safety on the line, to stand up and speak out in the media against the corruption of the DNC and the thuggery of the Obama Campaign and ACORN. The abuse inflicted upon Hillary supporters in the blogosphere and on the trail is now being felt by McCain supporters. And as a female candidate, Sarah Palin is getting a taste of what ‘Our Gal’ went through.

Just Say No Deal is made up of ordinary Americans: moms, soldiers, doctors, nurses, waitresses, landscapers, bankers, delegates, election judges, precinct chairs, professors… and yes, even plumbers. Google ‘we will not be silenced’ and hear their stories for yourself!

No matter who you are or where you stand TODAY, the injustices that brought us together this year were REAL.
That said, you may have moved on and we respect that decision. We truly do.

****UPDATE: PLEASE Do Not Call the Courthouse******
************** about Phil Berg Case *************

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

First, a reminder: DO NOT CALL THE COURTHOUSE! I have spent a half-dozen years building relationships there, and do NOT want to see these people pestered. Is that clear?

Second, I was told yesterday afternoon that the order would likely be coming down either late yesterday–5:30 to 6:00 p.m.–or some time this morning. Obviously, Judge Surrick has the final word on this, and if he feels that he is not satisfied with his memorandum, especially considering the number of new filings this week, it may be later.

Regardless, news will come here as soon as I get it.

Incidentally, Philip Berg was on Michael Savage’s radio program last night and spoke about taped evidence, and sworn affidavits, that he has showing Obama’s paternal grandmother in Kenya saying that she was present in the delivery room for his birth. I know for a fact that Berg does indeed have tapes of this kind in his possession — but as the parts I heard were in a language I did not understand [and he was in the process of having translated], I cannot attest for sure that the tapes contain what Berg contends.

For now, that’s all. Keep checking here, and if something does indeed happen, you’ll at least hear basics right away.

SHE DEFEATED OBAMA AND THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE, WHICH HE VOTED REPEATEDLY FOR. TWO TIMES. MAYBE OBAMA HAS SOME “SOUR GRAPES FROM BEING BEAT BY A WOMAN?

It’s always possible that the incident didn’t happen. BUT the article that you posted doesn’t say anything about the police not believing her.

In fact, this is what it says at the end.

“Police said she described the attacker as black, about 6-foot-4, and said he was wearing dark-colored jeans and a black tank top. She said he had a knife with a 5-inch blade and ran from the scene on foot, Harper said.

“We are treating this as a credible report,” he said.

The ATM has a security camera, and investigators were trying to watch the video.”

#111 Headclunker on 10.24.08 at 10:30 am

I have been posting about the Pittsburg victim and the only push back I have been getting is that the “B” is “backwards”. Some claim that indicates she drew it in the mirror but her story is that she was on the ground with him sitting on her. Contrary to hyp, there is no report he was directly facing her.

****WOW! More MSM in the Tank Alert ****

Confirmed: MSM Holds Video Of Barack Obama Attending Jew-Bash & Toasting a Former PLO Operative… Refuse to Release the Video!

snip -

On Wednesday I talked with Peter Wallsten from the Los Angeles Times about the article on Obama and Khalidi:

Wallston was one of the few mainstream media reporters to report on this radical Obama associate.

Wallston said that the article was written after he watched video taken at the Khalidi going away party. When I asked him about the video he said that as far as he was concerned he was through with the story.

I asked him if he was planning on releasing this video of Obama toasting the radical Khalidi at this Jew-bash. He told me he was not releasing the video. He also would not comment on his source for the video. Wallston also said he did not know if Khalidi’s good friend Bill Ayers was at the event or not.

So, there you have it.

The LA Times has video of Obama toasting a former PLO operative at a Jew-bash but will not release the video.
This is outrageous.

Obviously, this video would do great damage to Obama who struggles with Jewish voters due to his circle of close anti-Semitic friends.

NObama is NOT good for our economy, investors, wallstreet, small business owners are worried of his tax increase especially this time when our economy is in recession. Even NObama supporters in Wallstreet are now against his tax increase.

This economy is not in favor of NObama and the Democratic Party, in fact it is frightening to have Democratic lead Congress and Democrat President, it would move this country towards DEPRESSION due to new spending of NObama amounting to another trillion dollars and his TAX INCREASE!

Testing Obama’s mettle

By Caroline B. Glick

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | In a week and a half, American voters will elect the next US President. Their decision will impact the entire world.

Democratic nominee Senator Barack Obama now enjoys a significant lead in the polls against Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain. For McCain to win, a lot of Obama supporters will need to reassess their choice for president. This week, Obama’s running-mate Senator Joseph Biden gave Obama supporters a good reason to change their minds.

In much-reported remarks to campaign donors in Seattle on Sunday, Biden warned that if Obama is elected to the White House, it will take America’s adversaries no time at all to test him. In his words, “It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama … The world is looking … Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate.” Biden then continued, “And he’s gonna need help …We’re gonna need you to use your influence …within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.” Many commentators have minimized the importance of Biden’s remarks by claiming that all new leaders are tested.

But this is not exactly correct. World leaders test their adversaries when they perceive them as weak. When Dwight D. Eisenhower was elected US president in 1952, the Soviet Union did not move quickly to test the man who had led Allied Forces in World War II. When Ronald Reagan was elected president in 1980, the Iranian regime released the US hostages it had held for a year and a half. In speaking as he did, Biden essentially acknowledged three things. First, he recognized that Obama projects an image of weakness and naivete internationally that invite America’s adversaries to challenge him.

Second, by stating that if Obama is tested a crisis will ensue, Biden made clear that Obama will fail the tests he is handed as a newly inaugurated president. After all, when an able leader is tested, he acts wisely and secures his nation’s interests while averting a crisis. Finally, Biden made clear that Obama’s failure will be widely noted, and hence, “it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”

In light of Biden’s dire warning about his running-mate, the central question that Americans ought to be asking themselves is whether or not Biden is correct. Is it true that Obama projects a posture of weakness and incompetence internationally and is it likely that this posture reflects reality? Unfortunately, it appears that Biden knows exactly what he is talking about. Take Iran for example. Obama has stated outright, that if he is elected US president, he will offer to conduct direct negotiations with his Iranian counterpart President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without preconditions.

Yet two weeks ago, the Iranians made clear that their dispute with America is not about who occupies the White House, but about the nature the US. Speaking to the official Iranian news service IRNA two weeks ago, Iranian Vice President for Media Affairs Mehdi Kalhor stipulated that Iran will only agree to meet with a US leader after America has bowed to Teheran’s will. In his words, Iran will refuse to hold such high-level talks “for as long as US forces have not left the Middle East region, and [the US] continues its support for the Zionist regime.” Kalhor explained, “It is stupidity to hold talks without any change in US attitudes.”

After naming its price, Iran has since done its best to make its preconditions palatable for an Obama administration. This it has done by claiming that it will not attack the US, it will only attack Israel. Just after Kalhor’s interview, Seyed Safavi, a senior advisor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told a diplomatic audience in London that Iranian leadership circles are now debating the option of attacking Israel without attacking US forces in the region. Safavi added that chances for direct negotiations between the US and Iran will increase if Obama is elected. Alluding to Kalhor’s remarks, Safavi claimed that sanctions against Iran have failed and that if the US expects Iran to stop enriching uranium, it will have to take “firm and significant” steps in Iran’s direction.

Then on Wednesday, in a visit to US-ally Bahrain, the speaker of the Iranian parliament Ali Larijani gave Obama the regime’s official endorsement. Larijani said, “We are leaning more in favor of Barack Obama because he is more flexible and rational.”

Iran’s pre-US election behavior indicates that Iran will waste no time testing Obama’s mettle. Iran is behaving as if it fully expects Obama to do what his supporter Rev. Jesse Jackson expects him to do. That is, like Jackson, Iran expects Obama to end “Zionist control” of US foreign policy. And to aid the process, the Iranians are willing to leave US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan alone as they attack Israel with their nascent nuclear arsenal shortly after Obama is inaugurated.

In his remarks on Sunday Biden made clear that he does not believe that Obama will agree to use the US military to confront Iran or any other enemy. His rejection of the use of force is not due to a sense that force is not necessary. Rather it is due to his dim assessment of America’s military capabilities. In his words, “We do not have the military capacity, nor have we ever, quite frankly, in the last 20 years, to dictate outcomes. … It’s so much more complicated than that. And Barack gets it.”

Given the Democratic ticket’s belief that the US military is too weak to protect American interests, it could be expected that Obama and Biden would support strengthening the US military. But the opposite is the case. Obama has called for slashing the US military budget, cutting back the US’s anti-missile programs and scaling back drastically the US nuclear arsenal. That is, although Obama has claimed that he will never take the option of the use of force off the table, by refusing to strengthen the US military which he perceives as weak, he is making certain that the US military option is ineffectual.

In certain respects, if Americans elect Obama to lead them on November 4, they will be repeating the decision of Israeli voters who elected Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to lead them in March 2006. Like Obama, Olmert ran on a platform of appeasing Israel’s enemies.

In addition to his plan to curtail US military options by decreasing US military budgets, Obama’s appeasement platform includes his pledge to abandon the Bush administration’s sole foreign policy success in its second term by pulling US forces out of Iraq. He has also promised to exacerbate Bush’s second term policy failures by expanding the outgoing administration’s penchant for courting US adversaries.

In 2006 Olmert’s electoral platform included a na�ve and defeatist pledge to unilaterally withdraw Israeli civilians and military forces from Judea and Samaria. As for Iran, Olmert’s policy was to abdicate Israel’s responsibility to prevent its own destruction by relying on the Americans and the Europeans to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Biden’s warning that Obama will be tested and found wanting by America’s adversaries almost immediately after entering office echoes warnings by politicians and commentators in the lead-up to Olmert’s electoral victory in 2006. As subsequent events showed, Olmert’s critics were correct.

Olmert was tested and found wanting when in July 2006 Iran’s Hizbullah proxy went to war against Israel. Just as Olmert’s political opponents warned, and Israel’s enemies expected, Olmert’s naive perception of international affairs, his strategic incompetence and his exaggerated view of his own importance caused him to fail abjectly when his country needed him.

Largely due to Olmert’s weakness and poor judgment, Israel was defeated by Hizbullah. And Israel’s defeat fomented a radical reordering of the regional balance of power in Iran’s favor. Hizbullah took over Lebanon. Hamas took over Gaza. Syria is being feted by the Europeans. Iran stands in the doorway of the nuclear club.

Olmert’s failure not only strengthened Israel’s enemies, it caused its own allies to reassess its value. After the war, the Bush administration embraced Europe’s failed strategy of appeasing Iran and the Palestinians. Washington eschewed confrontation with Teheran and has renewed its push to compel Israel to withdraw from Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem despite the certainty that any territory Israel vacates will fall under the control of Hamas and Iran.

Iran will likely be the first US adversary to test a president Obama. And Obama will have no idea what to do. While Obama has stated repeatedly that a nuclear-armed Iran is a “game-changer” Obama’s own rulebook for international relations has no relevance for dealing with Iran’s game.

Obama views international relations as a creature of American will. If America is nice to others, they will be nice to America. But the fact of the matter is that regimes like Iran hate the US regardless of how it behaves. The only question with strategic relevance for Washington is whether the Iranians also fear the US. And Obama has given them no reason to fear him. To the contrary, he has given them reason to believe that under his leadership, the mullahs can defeat America.

America stands to elect its new president in times of nearly unprecedented dangers. Iran is on the threshold of nuclear weapons. Thanks to the Bush administration, North Korea now feels free to vastly expand its nuclear proliferation activities. Oil rich states like Venezuela, Russia and Iran recognize that with global oil prices decreasing, now is the time to strike before they are impoverished. And the international economic turmoil will cause Western nations to recoil from international confrontations and so embolden rogue states to attack their interests.

For Israel, this state of affairs could not be more dire. As these threats mount, we find ourselves bereft of political leadership. Although Olmert has finally resigned, he remains in office as the caretaker prime minister until someone forms a new government. In the best case scenario, elections will be called and Olmert will remain in office for the next four to six months. In the worst case scenario, he will be replaced by Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.

Like Obama and Olmert, Livni is perceived as weak and incompetent by Israel’s enemies. Unlike Obama, Livni is judged not only by her words, but by her deeds. As foreign minister, Livni was an architect of the ceasefire with Hizbullah under which Hizbullah has taken control of Lebanon and rearmed. She is an architect of Israel’s current policy of expanding the Hamas terror state to Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem. She is an architect of Israel’s policy of doing nothing to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

The prospect of an Obama-Livni partnership in policy failure is enough to keep men and women of good faith up at night. Certainly it should suffice to convince some Obama supporters to reconsider their options.

As horrific as it can be to not be believed, I’ve volunteered for them, gladly!

It’s quite telling when the perpetrator (or accusers-defendants) won’t take one, or their lawyer says: “Well, those results are not admissible in court.”

…but the fact that she took one -and/or the perpetrator (if caught) refused one, is!

…it also helps the police stay motivated in looking for and finding the suspect.

‘I made a mistake,’ admits Greenspan
By Alan Beattie and James Politi in Washington

Published: October 23 2008 17:37 | Last updated: October 23 2008 21:26

Alan Greenspan, the former Federal Reserve chairman, said on Thursday the credit crisis had exceeded anything he had imagined and admitted he was wrong to think that banks would protect themselves from financial market chaos.

“I made a mistake in presuming that the self-interest of organisations, specifically banks and others, was such that they were best capable of protecting their own shareholders,” he said.

the second of two days of tense hearings on Capitol Hill, Henry Waxman, chairman of the House of Representatives, clashed with current and former regulators and with Republicans on his own committee over blame for the financial crisis.

Mr Waxman said Mr Greenspan’s Federal Reserve – along with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the US Treasury – had propagated “the prevailing attitude in Washington… that the market always knows best.”

Mr Waxman blamed the Fed for failing to curb aggressive lending practices, the SEC for allowing credit rating agencies to operate under lax standards and the Treasury for opposing “responsible oversight” of financial derivatives.

Christopher Cox, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, defended himself, saying that virtually no one had foreseen the meltdown of the mortgage market, or the inadequacy of banking capital standards in preventing the collapse of institutions such as Bear Stearns.

Mr Waxman accused the SEC chairman of being wise after the event. “Mr Cox has come in with a long list of regulations he wants… But the reality is, Mr Cox, you weren’t doing that beforehand.”

Mr Cox blamed the fact that congressional responsibility was divided between the banking and financial services committees, which regulate banking, insurance and securities, and the agriculture committees, which regulate futures.

“This jurisdictional split threatens to for ever stand in the way of rationalising the regulation of these products and markets,” he said.

Mr Greenspan accepted that the crisis had “found a flaw” in his thinking but said that the kind of heavy regulation that could have prevented the crisis would have damaged US economic growth. He described the past two decades as a “period of euphoria” that encouraged participants in the financial markets to misprice securities.

He had wrongly assumed that lending institutions would carry out proper surveillance of their counterparties, he said. “I had been going for 40 years with considerable evidence that it was working very well”.

Republicans on the committee dissented from some of the Democratic attacks, and said the government-backed housing entities Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae had also been to blame.

“It wasn’t deregulation that allowed this crisis,” said Tom Davis, the senior Republican on the committee. “It was the mish-mash of regulations and regulators, each with too narrow a view of increasingly integrated national and global markets.”

Mr Greenspan said that when, as Fed chairman, he declined to advocate regulating credit default swaps – derivatives that have been blamed for worsening the crisis – he had been following the will of Congress.

The reason the police might think the B on the girl’s face may be self inflicted is that it is backwards. That could indicate it having been done by her, using a mirror. Some artists have done self portraits using a mirror, and left appears to be right, making the portrait a mirror image rather than a correct face on portrait. This is how some people can tell a self portrait from one done by someone else.

If the perpetrator had shoved her to the ground and put the mark on her face, it would likely have been going in the right direction, but if her held her with his arm around the neck, the mark would have been upside down and backwards. I looked at the photo again, and it does appear to be upside down, though it may just be my own reading of the photo. There are other marks on the other cheek, which would indicate a struggle.

My conclusion: I don’t know if it is real or self inflicted.

“Congress Mulls Major 401(k) Tax Changes”
Investment News
Oct. 7, 2008

Chief among them was eliminating $80 billion in tax savings for higher-income people enrolled in 401(k) retirement savings plans.
This was suggested by the chairman of the House Committee on Education and Labor.
“With respect to the 401(k), it appears to be a plan that is not really well-devised for the changes in the market,” Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., said.

“Would Obama, Dems Kill 401(k) Plans”
U.S. News and World Report
Oct. 23, 2008
House Democrats recently invited Teresa Ghilarducci, a professor at the New School of Social Research, to testify before a subcommittee on her idea to eliminate the preferential tax treatment of the popular retirement plans. In place of 401(k) plans, she would have workers transfer their dough into government-created “guaranteed retirement accounts” for every worker. The government would deposit $600 (inflation indexed) every year into the GRAs. Each worker would also have to save 5 percent of pay into the accounts, to which the government would pay a measly 3 percent return. Rep. Jim McDermott, a Democrat from Washington and chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee’s Subcommittee on Income Security and Family Support, said that since “the savings rate isn’t going up for the investment of $80 billion [in 401(k) tax breaks], we have to start to think about whether or not we want to continue to invest that $80 billion for a policy that’s not generating what we now say it should.”

with all of this early voting going on, is BO going to have ANYONE voting for him on Nov 4th??

#167 Lara08 on 10.24.08 at 11:43 am

#161 By the way, if you are too young to have 401 (k) plans please ask your parents about this. They are a good deal the way they are right now. Getting only 3% return on them through government bonds is a bad deal.

My letter to fox:

Dear Fox News,

While this year you have been the shining light of truth in media reporting, the focus on Mrs. Palin’s wardrobe is inane and beneath you. I would much rather you investigate the following: Money paid by Sen. Obama to Delegates who then voted for him at the Democratic Convention in spite of the fact that their constituents voted 50% or MORE (in some cases 80%) for Hillary Rodham Clinton, Verifying ALL of Senator Obama’s donations making sure that he is not breaking some/ALL of the laws regarding political donations, Investigating monies paid to ACORN by Senator Obama AND investigating the massive voter registration FRAUD and voting FRAUD being perpetrated by both of them, Investigating the MASSIVE primary caucus voting fraud that allowed Senator Obama to claim victories in states where he most certainly did not win (start in Texas because I live here and I am involved in a law suit filed 1 week after the caucus vote by a black female attorney alleging MASSIVE voter fraud by Sen. Obama and ACORN), Investigating AND reporting on the fact that there is a law suit filed in Philadelphia by a Mr. Berg alleging that Senator Obama has failed to file a birth ceritificate that is both VALID and that shows he is an American citizen and that today Sen. Obama is in default of the judge’s demand that he prove up said document, Investigating and reporting the violence being perpetrated by Sen. Obama’s supporters on Americans, etc., etc. etc.

Please get to work NOW on these issues.

Sincerely,
Jennifer XXXXX
American citizen with valid birth certificate

Woke up to AOL telling me republicans are leaving McCain, that Newsweek and NYT’s are saying Race is OVER and BO has won, and yet in MY HEART I know that we will win…

NO WAY is America voting for Hussein over A HERO, NO WAY is America voting for SPREAD MY WEALTH vs. CREATE NEW WEALTH, NO WAY is America voting for Rev. Wright vs. what is RIGHT, NO WAY is America voting for a LIAR, a SEXIST, A RACIST, and a MARXIST….

NO FUCKING WAY…..

GET TO WORK PEOPLE–TALK, go door to door, call, honk your horn, make a sign….this is WAR and we can’t win if you won’t join the fight!!!

And GOD DAMN IT yes I am crying but when I walk out of this door I will have my game face on and EVERY person I convince to vote McCain is one more vote for HILLARY…

DEAL WITH THIS DONC….I AM THE PERSON YOU WERE HOPING WASN’T COMING….I AM MY OWN HERO….AND I WILL NEVER BACK DOWN!!!

My kool aid was Blue…maybe that’s why it didn’t work….LOL LOL
and I can argue statements like this…..
“who’s supported Bush 90% of the time for these past 8 years”
Oh really?…McCain has only voted 88.1% party line this term and his average for

the last 9 ZComgresses is 83.9 and has constantly been in the bottom 7 of part

line voters….while Obama has an average of 96% voting party line for his 2

Congresses……..So who is crossing the isle and working with the other party?
McCain’s record:
102nd Congress 88.6
103 85.3
104 86.5
105 83.6
106 83.1
107 76.2
108 84.5
109 79.4
110th 88.1

“an unsupported war against the Taliban and Al Queda in Afghanistan”
OK so since when are we against the war on the Taliban, Al Queda, or terrorism….we may not be for the War in Iraq but that is completely separate issue all by it’s self.

“You’re rich”
Yeh I’m one of those “Rich Puma people”…if you consider less than $9,000 a year on disability RICH.

GOOD GREIF they really need to get their heads out of their high paying jobs, iPods/Blackberries, Youtube videos, and idiot blogs……….UUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!

“There may not be any sodomy or corporal punishment on Obama’s Ship of Fools ”

I looked up Sodomy in the dictionary online. it gave as one definition. We know the more common definition.

bes·ti·al·i·ty

The quality or condition of being an animal or like an animal.
Conduct or an action marked by depravity or brutality.

So if beast or bestiality seems to fit then sodomy might be present in the O Boo Boo camp.

the above is posted with the hope of a few chuckles not to be taken too serious. I do not want the Obambi police to get after me.

THANK YOU! That is keeping me going. Not able to post much lately – too busy fighting an uphill battle here in PA.

I’ve committed to distributing over 1,000 of Freddie’s flyers, making multiple (although sadly small) contributions to the McCain-Palin Victory fund, and making calls for McCain.

I am a PUMA Democrat, well-educated, NOT a racist, and have a 401k that has turned into a 201K.

But, I will not give in, I will not give up, I will not shut up and sit down, and I will defiantly cast MY vote for McCain-Palin in November.

NObama. NObiden (sorry Joe). November. NO DEAL.

This would kill us all in the long run.
Can this be added to PUMA flyers by any chance.
Joe the plumber has all the more reason with millions of middle class to take up an action against this!
And for people that have not voted yet – It has to be all republican or your 401 K is screwed (that includes possibly equivalent schemes on self-employed)

“A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Voting Booth”
The Minority Report
Oct. 23, 2008

On the way to their polling place, she said they were all very excited but she kept having this funny feeling in her stomach. Upon entering the voting booth, she said, the anxiety worsened and standing there poised to cast her vote a little voice or call it instinct began gnawing away at this life long Democrat (life long – well she’s only 35) She finally said “I can’t do it… I can’t vote for Obama, he’s just not ready” and voted for McCain.

Scott McClellan fits in the disaffected, disgruntled former Bush/Republican employee club,along with Colon Powell.

He stood there defending Bush’s war, a tool of Bush/Cheney/Rummie – just like Powell – and now he’s coming out supporting Obama trying to ease his guilty conscience. I say you’re a day late and a dollar short, Scotty. Where were you when it mattered.

If you’ve got a guilty conscience for being a player in foisting the “Great Lie” on the American people, go see your priest. Leave the American people alone. One act of eslf-serving deceit was enough. Go away, Scott McClellan. Your word means nothing. Your endorsement is as empty and worthless as your judgment and your integrity.

cOPEN POST TO UNDECIDEDS WHO ARE READING THIS BLOG:

WHAT CRITERIA WILL YOU USE TO DECIDE YOUR VOTE ON NOV 4?

Here are some simple ones:

When you or I have to apply for a job ,.
we have to fill out a preemployment form showing documentation that, in fact, that we are citizens of the United States. That has been going on for some time..Never noticed? It is true. WHY SHOULD NOT BARACK OBAMA HAVE TO DO THE SAME?

When you or your children wish to change schools or you or your older children wish to apply for a job that requires certain skills or education credentials, we have to send transcripts or access to same if the employer wishes to review them prior to hire…WHY SHOULD NOT BARACK OBAMA HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING? No transcripts, nothing is made avaible about this man in that area.

If you or your children were going to committ to a businesspartnership or friendship with someone you had not known very long, and you had received credible information re unsavory contacts between the individual and that person, Would you not require something other than …oh he was just some guy who lived in the neighborhood …as a sufficient answer prior to committment? Why should Barak Obama be able to do less re Ayers and other long standing committments?

If you earn your money and pay taxes, why should someone who does not pay taxes get tax money back?
From what? Do you really believe that makes sense?
Why should Barack Obama come up with a plan to make everyone do that? And why would you want to support that?

Frankly, I could go on and on…I invite other PUMAS here today to ask here open ended questions to any Undecided voters who may be reading this blog…
It just does not make sense to elect a person who refuses to provide or to do even the things I indicated in this post that everyone of us…working people has to do or needs to consider everyday. Why should he not?
Who is this man? Do you even have a clue? Think!

#194 shampoovta on 10.24.08 at 12:10 pm

“Poll: Voters Against Obama ‘Wealth Redistribution’ Plan”
CNBC
Oct. 23, 2008

ATI-News/Zogby asked likely voters: “John McCain and other critics say Barack Obama is heavily influenced by people and organizations which seek social justice through redistribution of wealth in America. Do you agree or disagree with efforts to bring social justice by the redistribution of wealth?”

By a more than two-to-one margin, undecided voters disagree with such efforts to redistribute wealth. In total, 57 percent of undecided voters said they disagreed, while only 24 percent said they agreed (19 percent are not sure).

A majority (52 percent) of self-identified Independent voters also disagree with efforts to bring social justice through wealth redistribution. Only 39 percent of Independents agree (10 percent are not sure).

My Response to Ken Vogel’s response to my email comment on his article: ‘what are the candidates hiding’ (“Transparency”)

Kenneth P. Vogel
Politico
703.647.7985
http://www.politico.com

Dear Mr. Vogel:

I have received your reply:

“He has disclosed a copy of the birth certificate, whereas the other things I mentioned have a lower level of disclosure.

That said, we had to narrow the list to 10, so some wound up on the cutting room floor.”

—————-

Mr. Vogel, do you remember how the media was all over Obama’s campaign request for Clinton’s tax returns, McCain’s medical records, the McCain’s 5 houses and 7 cars?

Mr. Vogel, do you count how many articles and news segments have covered Sarah Palin’s interview mis-statements, the tone of her voice, the number of days she has been in public service, whether she is an asset or liability to the McCain ticket and all of the reason why she is summed up as an “unqualified liability”?

Mr. Vogel, do you realize how much media coverage is being attributed to how much the McCain/Palin campaign has spent on Palin’s public appearance clothing (Palin: A non-millionaire-status Governor)?

Mr. Vogel, if there was the slightest possibility that Sarah Palin is not Constitutionally – or otherwise qualified to become the Vice President of the United States — PLEASE TELL ME, which detail of your investigation would “end up on the cutting-room floor”?

I certainly have read enough “Investigative articles on Secrecy” to know that REAL REPORTERS ALWAYS LOVE TO HIGHLIGHT the “details” they had the hardest time getting access to, and/or could not gain access to, and why?

The REAL STORY HERE, Mr. Vogel, is not what Barack Obama is willing to reveal about himself, through his image making machine – but what he has somehow managed to block access to!

The details of Obama’s history – isn’t what he has manufactured – but the “secrets” is unwilling to let the public see!

That is what I THOUGHT that your article on “Secrecy” and “Transparency” was all about?

Not exactly, right? McCain/Palin, Yes? Obama/Biden, No.

P.S. Given the fact that the Obama’s do not dispute that he was an Indonesian citizen, are you not the slightest bit curious as to when he reclaimed his U.S. citizenship?

If not, then what’s all the fuss about Arnold Swartzneggar and John McCain’s constitutional eligibility, medical records (steroid use, skin cancer), record of service?

What the heck, lets all ask Muammar Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi to run next time,he would love that “cutting room floor” you reserve for those you do not so OBVIOUSLY endorse!

Mr. Vogel, get a job you are actually qualified for or change your resume. Because, sir, it is evident that FAIR, BALANCED, TRUTHFUL AND UNBIASED JOURNALISM – REPORTING – is either not your strong suit or simply not what Politico is paying you for.

If only that “Cutting Room Floor” could talk, it would be telling us everything that Obama and his Campaign is refusing to release to the American Voters – who HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW!

THAT PUMA DEMOCRATS (AND THE BERG LAWSUIT AGAINST OBAMA’S “SECRECY AND LACK OF TRANSPARENCY” ) ALREADY KNOW!

#199 Lara08 on 10.24.08 at 12:14 pm

#176 LotusBoy

401K tax removal clause is insane. Another example of spreading the wealth, taking it from those who’ve disciplined themselves, scrimped and cut back to build up their own retirement funds and give it to the government to redistribute to people who fiddled while Rome burned. People are supposed to “trust” the government to handle their retirement funds? Social Security is already in big trouble – predicted to be bankrupt by the time the last of the Baby Boomer generation needs it, if not before, and now they want to dip their hands into peoples’ 401Ks and discourage people from contributing to their own retirement financial well-being.

We need MORE incentives like the 401K tax benefits we have now, NOT LESS! Once again Obama is asking people to follow him right over the cliff.

This is probably not the time to bring it up but on the drive to work I was thinking can you imagine the Oessiah actually running the country with Pelosi and Reid and his little band of misogynist thugs as back up? What this country needs is a centrist government that works only for The People. We are just coming out of 8 years of hard right idiocy and the last thing we need is 8 years of hard left idiocy. I hate to think.

We have a corrupt government that is out of touch with the people, a corrupt press, and a lot of religious leaders are corrupt. McCain is a good man and he is willing to give women a hand up. He just has to win.

And regarding Palin. When she is asked why she doesn’t give interviews to the press she should just say because they have proven themselves to be unable to engage in intelligent discussion and it is a waste of my time. I don’t have time for their silly gottcha games the future of our country is serious and that is where my focus is.

I want to call the SoS for each swing state to find out if 1) they have early voting, 2) if so, will they be releasing unofficial numbers as they come in for each candidate, and 3) if so, was that outlined by the state legislature when they passed the early voting law, or is it a gray area that the SoS has discretion on.

#207 tashacakes on 10.24.08 at 12:24 pm

This morning I logged onto johnmccain.com and signed up for the volunteer phone bank. This was no small feat for me because I suffer from a “phone phobia”. I have always been terrified to initiate calls to people, even to friends and relatives. Since I live in a deeply blue state (CT), I figured reaching out to swing staters was a better use of my time than trying to persuade people right here.

I made 10 calls so far, left 5 messages, got one wrong number, had 2 answering machines cut me off and spoke to 2 live people. One guy was a little on the fence because he didn’t like the story about Sarah and the clothes! Can you imagine!? I assured him that the Obama campaign has spent tons of money on expensive suits for him and outfits for Michelle as well. I also told him that Sarah’s clothing would be auctioned off for charity. I think I may have actually made a difference with that one vote.

One woman in Ohio had a son who was killed at the WTC on 9/11. She was such an inspiration! She is a strong McCain/Palin supporter (a pro-choicer who LOVES Sarah and isn’t at all worried about Roe v Wade). She reports that Ohio is coming together for McCain. She actively speaks out for McCain and against Obama. She also told me that she is especially vocal in the Jewish community. I thanked her for being such a powerful voice and I told her how terribly saddened I was for her loss. This woman was such an inspiration to me. SHE MADE MY DAY!

I encourage everyone here to volunteer for the phone bank. It will lift your spirits and you CAN make a difference!

Anna-they go to private, even though he was in charge of the Annenberg Challenge with Ayers to improve Chicago schools (and gave the money out to special interest voter groups mostly)-his kids were above that. Isn’t that sweet?

So its okay to complain about people not caring about inner city schools but his kids don’t go there because they are too good AND he took the money to improve the schools and squandered it on buying his lobbyists. NICE

Bill O’Reilly thinks that Colin Powell is upset because of how he was treated by the REPUBS—Dick Morris—can’t believe I can stomach this man—said he thinks it is because he had left the liberals when he sided with the REPUBS and he is just going home basically to the AA community since he was outsed by Jessie jackson, Al Sharpton when he was in Bush’s corner. We knew that he was in Obie’s corner from the onset no surprise there and btw wasn’t he part of the cause for the Iraq war, no biggie Mr. Powell.

I am posting because I was just verbally attacked by one of the local GBLT leaders who said that I was a SILLY GIRL fighting over NONSENSE…..(note: He is close friend with my parents and we will be having a LONG talk about him tonight)…and he said that he knows I have been talking ill of their group. When I said (and for the record 80% of my BEST friends are gay/lesbian and I DO NOT CARE about skin color or race or sexual orientation I AM NOT RACIST or BIASED in any way except I CANNOT stand DUMB OR MEAN) I would take a lie detector test to prove them a liar he said NO–he knew I was a liar.

RIDICKULOUS–these people ARE INSANE and how dare this man just call me a liar. I am shaking. SHAKING with anger. I am trying not to cry but this is too much.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, I am going to PROTEST TODAY. RIGHT NOW. AT THE POLLING PLACE ON W. GRAY….And I will be standing up for MYSELF, FOR HILLARY, for ANYONE BEATEN DOWN…I WILL NOT GIVE UP and I WILL NOT GIVE IN…

This site has probably been posted alot before but new to me. From what I gather, this is a journalist? who covers the federal courthouse of which Berg filed the lawsuit. He said he is the one that broke the lawsuit when it was first filed and he will hear and post as soon as the decision comes down, hopefully today. He said that he normally suspect that Surrick would dismiss the case based on sanding but he has heard some rumblings from others at the courthouse saying that Surrick may rule in favor of Berg, or at least partially so.

A good read…try and take a look. I like the guy.

#232 LotusBoy on 10.24.08 at 12:43 pm

BrooklynNY – Thanks for the response.

Also, there are other posts about borderless community.
Here is my take on it.
If any of those that believe in a true borderless community and country start by doing this:
Tear down your Garage door! Tear down your Front door! and tear down your patio door!
Yeah, if you think you can live without any enclosure for your privacy and protection then do this!
If you practice what you preach then I can resonate with your belief that we should indeed have no borders across states, countries and continents.
If you truely believe in unprotected anything perhaps even shed your clothing a la petite Britney Spears.
And when you do all these, I am sure all the hens will come home to roost!
If now you have realized that your thought is all wrong and faulty go back and reassess why you are better off not following Saul Alinsky and Ayers’s doctrines. Yes, they are, in my opinion worse than the non-existent BUSH DOCTRINE.
And if you still do not believe in what I say about having borders and enclosures where you should, then I am sorry you might be a victim of your falsified beliefs!

SHORT LETTER TO THE EDITOR
(For anyone interested in sending letters, it’s now or never since it takes a few days for them to be reviewed and often a few more days if selected, to be printed.)
————————————————–
Barack favors transparency in government, yet we have yet to see his birth certificate, records from Occidental College, Columbia College, Harvard University, Selective Service registration, Medical Records, Illinois State Senate schedule, Harvard Law Review or University of Chicago articles.

He used to speak of uniting Americans, now he urges his supporters to argue and get in people’s faces while accusing those who do not support his, racists.

Obama talks of equal pay for equal work, yet pays his female staffers 78 cents on the dollar compared to his male staffers.

He was in favor of public campaign financing, then opted out.

Strongly against FISA, then, surprise, voted for it!

Wants to help those in need, yet ignored the plight of families living in uninhabitable housing in his state senate district.

He’s for public school education and against school vouchers, but sends his own children to private school.

Says he is a friend to Israel yet embraced the anti-Semitic rants of Reverend Wright for 20 years.

When asked whether he would run for President after he won his US Senate seat, Barack Obama said he would not, citing the thing we all know to be true: Lack of experience. Yet once again, he changed his mind, and left his hollow words behind.

There is no record of achievement. All we have are words. And he doesn’t keep his word.

I sat in his church and listened to this guy for 20 years but don’t remember anything bad he said. I know the name ACORN but…don’t recall any affiliation with them, giving them huge amounts of money, working, representing, training them. I know I was born…somewhere but don’t know remember where, I was only O years old at the time, what do you espect from me? I don’t remember my name because I have so many, I forget which one I used where….

Man, just the person I want in office. He walks out of one room into the next and forgets EVERYTHING. Scary, he gets that 3am call that the world is at war and he goes back to sleep, wakes up and says, ” oh, what a great day, glad nothing mportant is going on today!!”

#244 ck on 10.24.08 at 12:58 pm

Has anyone else seen an editorial (“guest opinion”) in their local paper written by Wade Rathke? Yes, that Wade Rathke, founder of ACORN, whose brother Dale Rathke, working for ACORN subsidiary CSI at the same ACORN address in New Orleans as Wade embezzled nearly a million bucks. Rathke has an editorial in today’s Billings Gazette (MT). I’m thinking this editorial must have run in other papers and who knows where else. He’s claiming the problem isn’t ACORN, but “difficult voter registration.” These days, when anyone, anywhere can register to vote in front of their local Wal Mart or Target or supermarket, Rathke’s claim is preposterous. PUMAs, I think we need a letter-writing action on this. Thanks for all you continue to do.

Well folks, welcome to World Obama where That One will “transcend race”. :roll:

**** 1995 Obama Race Baiting Video Discovered ****

It sounds like those first 10 years with Rev. Jeremiah Wright rubbed off on The One…

The post racial candidate Barack Obama slams “white executives” living out in the suburbs who do not want to pay taxes to inner city children in a 1995 interview:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7fi8STNlxM

Obama talks redistribution and salvation- bashes whitey:

Obama admits his Redistribution of Wealth is to SAVE the African American community SO HE CAN ENSURE HIS OWN SALVATION! (and Our Countries Salvation) He compares the plight of African Americas to the ethic genocide’s of Bosnia and Africa. He blames all of African American problems on “ONE GROUP” who suppresses them.

And, He says WHITE people don’t want their taxes to help black children.

Obviously, Obama’s plans to redistribute wealth is not something he just thought up.

Funny- This is the same millionaire who won’t send his brother living in a slum hut 20 bucks.

THIS NEEDS TO GET OUT THERE: OBAMA PATRIOTISM

This is one of the most dispiriting things I have ever seen in an
election for the highest office of our country. Not only should this
man be relieved of his duties as a Senator but should never never be
considered for this high office. Please pass this on to some of your
Democratic friends to see their take on it!
The following is a narrative taken from Sunday Morning’s televised
‘Meet The Press’ and the author is employed by none other than the
Washington Post!!
From Sunday’s Televised ‘Meet the Press’ Senator Obama was asked about
his stance on the American Flag. Obama Explains National Anthem Stance
Sun, 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, General Bill Ginn’ USAF (ret.) asked
Obama to explain why he doesn’t follow protocol when the National
Anthem is played. The General also stated to the Senator that
according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171…
During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed,
all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention
facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. At the very least,
‘Stand and Face It’
Senator Obama Live on Sunday stated:
‘As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as
taking sides, Obama said. ‘There are a lot of people in the world to
whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem
itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air
and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less
bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like To Teach the World To Sing.’ If
that were our anthem, then I might salute it.’We should consider to
reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better
offer our enemies hope and love. It’s my intention, if elected, to
disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren.
If we as a Nation of warring people, should conduct ourselves as the
nations of Islam, whereas peace prevails. Perhaps a state or period of
mutual concord between our governments. When I become President, I
will seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who
have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from
disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation have placed upon the
nations of Islam an unfair injustice. My wife disrespects the Flag for
many personal reasons. Together she and I have attended several flag
burning ceremonies in the past, many years ago. She has her views and
I have mine’. Of course now, I have found myself about to become the
President of the United States and I have put aside my hatred. I will
use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a
new path of hope. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country’s
First Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States
of America.’
WHAAAAAAAT the Hell !!!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it right. This could possibly be
our next President.
I, for one, am speechless.

I received a phone call from Capricia, who has worked for Hillary for 17 years in response to my call that I wanted my contribution money back. She gave me all this baloney about why she is supporting BO. I flat out told her the Clintons were embarrassing themselves and have lost all their credibility. I’ve faxed both Hillary and Bill Clinton and asked them to stop. Apparently, it’s the Clintons before country. This election has opened my eyes and I’m finding out a lot about people I trusted. No more, I’ve voted already for McCain/Palin and will think long and hard before I vote for another Dem. The sad part is Hillary lately looks like she’s enjoying herself.

LETTER TO BILL CLINTON
——————————————–
Dear President Clinton:

I am writing to you as a life long Democrat, as someone who proudly supported you throughout your eight years in office and who looks to you as a leader with enormous power and influence.

As such, I am writing to you today to implore you to stop campaigning for Barack Obama. He hasn’t got the necessary experience to be President of the United States and has highly corrupt political practices. As I am sure you are well aware, it appears quite likely that he stole the nomination from your wife.

Mr. President, does nothing trump party loyalty?

You have already been the President of the United States and leader of the free world. You owe nothing to Barack Obama who is an ill-prepared and highly misguided neophyte.

Will no one stand up and say what needs to be said? Will you not be a true leader and say that you can no longer affiliate yourself with a candidate and a campaign that nurtures a confrontational atmosphere, that accuses ordinary hard-working Americans of being racist simply because they do not support Senator Obama, and that you have other priorities to attend to?

Millions of Americans look to you and your words as a trusted guide. You are misleading them by aligning yourself with this sham of a candidate.

Please stop. It’s demeaning.

I would urge you to speak truth to power, but you are power. So, just speak the truth.

#277 ladyhawkke on 10.24.08 at 1:35 pm

“TRANSPARENCY” IS OBAMA’S NUMBER ONE “FAILED POLICY”.

BECAUSE OF THIS, EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF HIS CAMPAIGN SHOULD BE CONSIDERED PURE, ADULTERATED SPECULATION

Somebody posted earlier that Rush was going to have some tape on or something with BO saying something unbelieveable. I’ve been gone to the dr’s office all morning for a pre-op exam (which is now “on hold” because the pre op exam is showing some heart problems and blood pressure problems – too low I guess- that the dr wants to fix before I go under “the knife.” Anybody hear Rush? Anybody know what that tape was about?

#286 imtoast on 10.24.08 at 1:43 pm

Ayers and Dorhn were never tried or convicted of their crimes. Bill Clinton didn’t pardon them. However, the bombing of the police station in San Francisco was reopened three years ago and Dorhn was responsible for that one, maybe the FBI will finally get her.

BDS or Bush Derangement Syndrome is my biggest problem with some fence sitters. They can’t see past their hatred of Bush. In their mind a vote for Obama punishes Republicans, when in reality it punishes us all.

And they all have college degrees. Why do lack common sense? Especially when I talk to people that work with their hands, and can reason with them.

Second problem is PDS, Palin Derangement Syndrome. This is worse in part because they believe all the media talking points, that should be applied to Obama not Palin.

I’m not giving up, but for the life of me I cannot understand why people can’t see the creeping socialism.

“By turning off their Address Verification System, or AVS, at the Obama website, the Democratic candidate was able to raise a record $150 million in donations last month from millions of donors from all over the world.

Jeff – Oy. Thanks for the update. You may want to send it directly to Murphy and repost from time to time today. Someone on the blog yesterday said she thought there was more to the story than met the eye. I guess she was right.

Lots of crazy stuff flying around. (This on the heels of the fake MO receipt.) Probably best to take a deep breath and wait to make sure stories are legit. As we get closer and closer to election day, likely more of this will be happening on both sides.

I’m gonna’ just stick to the facts at hand to be safe from here on out. There are plenty of them?

I have to wonder whether this young woman was browbeaten and coerced to change her story. Having been a victim of physical as well as sexual assault, I know firsthand that the enormous trauma of these experiences can cause memory lapse and partial amnesia. I believed this young woman’s story. I thought this nation had moved past the stage of blaming the victim in such cases. The shifting reports from the police would indicate that we haven’t. Where is the video from the ATM to corroborate this young woman’s story? Or is that also now being edited for purposes of covering up this crime because it might negatively affect the outcome of this election? Has anyone investigated whether the symbol scratched on her face is a gang symbol of some sort? When is this nation going to stop covering up and excusing verbal, psychological and physical abuse and outright violence against women? We’ve all witnessed it and/or experienced it, even throughout this election season. Apparently anarchy and barbarism have supplanted the rule of law and we no longer live in a civilized democratic society. Welcome to the third world.

Anyone on AOL? Since they changed their homepage layout I’ve had nothing but trouble – one whole day couldn’t send any emails. Seems to be an Internet-wide problem – Google went down for a while yesterday or the day before.

Good morning PUMAs. I am gonna try to stay away from the drama on the blog today if I can, I feel a black cloud is overhead and I have my tinfoil umbrella up.

If any of you want to do a prowl getting the word out about ACORN connected to voting fraud and caucus fraud and more…I am posting my letter below:
—-

Dear fellow citizens and News Reporters,

The reason no one focuses on Barack Obama’s “community organizing” is
because few understand how it fits into the
big picture. focus, trace, read – revisit if necessary – but do
understand why:

A) Obama has gotten to where he is and why he threatens to continue that meteoric rise – with your tax money – straight to the white house.

B) How Obama, his advisors & the democrats are linked to the biggest financial meltdown since the Great Depression.

A great graph and explanation of Obama’s links to corruption:
http://www.justsaynodeal.com/acorn.html

Millions of Clinton Democrats already know this information and will not vote for Obama. It is up to the news media to report the information and get it out to the public instead of reporting their own opinions as news.

If you need more proof, here is a link to research done on the Democratic Primary that proves the voting fraud in the caucus states, using Camp Obama aggression along with ACORN voter fraud:
http:// http://www.lynettelong.com/CAUCUSFRAUD/

This is also how the $800,000 the Obama campaign gave to ACORN in the Primary was used to overthrow the primary election from Hillary Clinton. Obama is now using these same techniques to steal the General Election from John McCain.

Keep this information from the public and Obama will be our next
President.

Thank you,
xxxx
xxxx Democrat

—————-
I am sending this info to anyone and everyone. Much of the info was taken from Just Say No Deals great graphic on ACORN, some of their info and Lynette Long’s website. I think these links are more convincing than almost any issue that is currently in the news right now. I will even send them to that long list of news agencies in the Action Center.

#318 pooh496 on 10.24.08 at 2:13 pm

Once again I ask you to visit Michele Bachmann’s Congresswoman from Minnisota and friend of Sarah Palins website and donate. After an appearance on Chris Mathews where he convinced her to say that Obama was anti american he raised 1.3 million for her Dem opponent and Nancy Pelosi threw in another million to try and defeat her in her re-election bid. I think we need to show her some love and donate what we can. Thanks!!!

Re: ATM “Mugging”

There’s a blog I lurk on which posters follow a 48-hour rule. That is, usually if you wait 48-hours, you get some more facts to set the story straight and get at the facts. Perhaps we might look at something like that.

Of course, the 48 hours on this story hasn’t expired yet.

#322 BrooklynNY on 10.24.08 at 2:16 pm

BTW, I wonder if BO’s grandmother knows she’s gonna die before the election is over? Kinda sick if you ask me to announce to the world your grandmother is dying and give her date of death while she’s recuperating from a broken hip.

Really the action of a “loving” grandson….Maybe in Obamaland, but not in my world.

#323 alohapuma on 10.24.08 at 2:16 pm

How does someone give themselves a black eye? I suppose it’s possible, but I would think this woman would have some kind of history of instability….not that it should be broadcast…

What do you wanna bet they won’t file charges and this will disappear. It could very well be a hoax, but I don’t think we know enough yet.

I’m not saying the story of the women that was assaulted is false, but what makes me a little suspicious is the “B” is so perfect. If someone was doing that to me I would be thrashing. Also the fact she refused medical attention is a little suspicious.

I would just hate if she was a “plant” just so later BO campaign could debunk it and gain sympathy.

Not that you’re the expert on this, but since you’re posting on it: How can a campaign turn that function off on their site? Or, more to the point, if they do, shouldn’t the FEC be suspicious?

ON DRUDGE RIGHT NOW:

Police: Campaign Volunteer Made Up Attack Story

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― Police sources tell KDKA that a campaign worker has now confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter “B” in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker.

Ashley Todd, 20, of Texas, initially told police that she was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield and that the suspect became enraged and started beating her after seeing her GOP sticker on her car.

Police investigating the alleged attack, however, began to notice some inconsistencies in her story and administered a polygraph test.

Authorities, however, declined to release the results of that test.

Investigators did say that they received photos from the ATM machine and “the photographs were verified as not being the victim making the transaction.”

This afternoon, a Pittsburgh police commander told KDKA Investigator Marty Griffin that Todd confessed to making up the story.

The commander added that Todd will face charges; but police have not commented on what those charges will be.

According to police, investigators working on the interview process detected several inconsistencies in Todd’s story that differed from statements made in the original police report.

Pittsburgh Police Public Information Officer Diane Richard released a statement earlier today, saying: “Because of the inconsistencies in her statements, Ms. Todd was asked to submit to a polygraph examination which she agreed to do.”

No photos of Todd are being released by Pittsburgh Police at this time.

The investigation is continuing as officials determine what charges will be filed.

http://kdka.com/local/attack.McCain.Bloomfield.2.847628.html

UGH! I can’t believe it. Why would a volunteer do something like this to undermine the credibility of other volunteers? There are PLENTY of other BO supporters’ offenses against decent people so as to not have to invent one yourself! You bet the MSM is going to be ALL over this one.

The Pittsburgh beating story

Why do the headlines not say the same as the police PR people on the video?

The video says she didn’t remember which ATM she tried to make a withdrawal from and then they say she didn’t make an actual withdrawal from that one. ?

We have a headline claiming a confession about making up the beating story, but we don’t have the name of the person who gave that statement. We do have some AA police officials willing to talk on camera about the case; why are they not willing to say what the headline says on camera?

We know what the MSM can do, we know what happened to Joe the Plumber, we know Pittsburgh is a city where the Black Panthers promised protection for BO, what do we know about the publication that printed this?

The turn in events is following Murphy’s prediction so closely I am not willing to call it a false story just yet.

How do you give yourself a black eye?

RODHAM – How great to see you! And, really glad you’re going to make calls. I think you’ll find that once you make the first couple, you’ll overcome whatever nervousness you may feel. It’s very empowering to be able to speak to people and help an undecided voter think through the crucial issues. Lots of times, you’ll just get a voice message machine, and even then, you can take great pride in knowing you left a very gracious professional message and even that in itself will reflect well on the McCain campaign. I remember when I was making calls for Hillary, a lot of folks commented how Hillary’s callers were so polite as compared to Obama callers who were very pushy and rude.

#334 Anna7000 on 10.24.08 at 2:30 pm

Mixed feelings about adding any more type to the attack story, but here goes:

As for how someone gives themselves a black eye:

1. There have been other cases where people mutilated themselves in ways hard to imagine someone doing to themselves in order to advance some goal they had in their mind.

2. She could have had a black eye already from who know what sort of accident or abusive encounter and decided to seize the opportunity. (As for the black eye, it appeared so black it made me wonder a bit if it hadn’t occured a day prior since the body doesn’t usually respond that fast with that color after an insult.)

Enough on this from me.

I just finished 28 phone calls to undecided voters in Ohio. I left 14 messages, got 3 wrong numbers and talked to 11 real people. Here’s my results tally sheet:

People who already voted for McCain/Palin- 3
People who will “definitely” vote for M/P- 2
People who will “probably” vote for M/P- 2
Confused people who had no idea who the
candidates were- 1
People who’re refusing all political calls- 1
People who will “definitely not” vote M/P- 1

I’m very encouraged and will make more calls on Monday. Come on everybody– Join me!

It’s fun, easy and very liberating. Go to johnmccain.com and get started. There’s a script to make it easy. I adjusted the script only slightly by saying upfront that I’m a life long Independent who’s strongly supporting McCain/Palin this year. I veered off script a few times when people felt like talking. The reception i got from people was very positive, for the most part.

#347 utahpuma on 10.24.08 at 2:49 pm

I apologize if this has already been posted. But, I received this email from Bill Clinton and it really troubles me that the Dems what a filibuster-proof Democratic Senate majority. So in other words, nothing but Dems so they can vote on anything they want without any checks and balances. This is a very dangerous situation that they are aiming for.

*********************************************
I don’t have to tell you how important this election is to our country. But I do want to tell you one thing that will make a tremendous difference for Barack Obama and Joe Biden as we go forward: A filibuster-proof Democratic Senate majority working by their side.

Now, reaching the filibuster-proof 60 votes isn’t going to be easy. There are a lot of races that are just about as close as they come. Let me tell you about three must-win races where you can help put Democrats over the top.

In Minnesota, Al Franken has faced some of the worst negative attack ads we’ve seen this cycle, but he’s got a great shot of picking up this seat for Democrats.

In Kentucky, Bruce Lunsford has the chance to kick the Republican’s Senate leader out of office – and you’d better believe the GOP is putting everything they’ve got into this one.

And, Jim Martin is running a race in Georgia that everyone thought was a long shot, but recent polls show the race neck and neck. If you help him keep his momentum going, we can add this one to the Democratic column too.

These races are all dead heats, and all in Republican territory that we can capture. And you better believe that Republicans are shifting their resources to deliver their most offensive, over-the-top attacks into these states. It’s up to us to make sure Al, Bruce, and Jim have the resources they need to fight back and win.

Help give Barack Obama a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate by contributing to Al, Bruce, and Jim’s campaigns today.

I don’t think it will surprise you that Hillary and I talk about the Senate races all the time. After all, she’ll be working every day with the winners next year.

I know that these three races are critically important to her — and they should be to you, too. It isn’t just because they’re so vital to our chances of getting 60 votes in the Senate. It’s also because you can make such a difference in all of them and we know that when Democrats work together – we win.

The decision you make right now might be the factor that puts one or even all three of these great Democrats over the top on Election Day. Trust me, I’ve been in politics long enough to know what a difference your support can make.

Make the difference for Al, Bruce, and Jim — contribute to put these three great Democrats in the U.S. Senate.

With your help, we’re going to have a great day on November 4. So let’s keep working for these next 11 days, and then let’s win together!

Thank you for everything

Oh my gosh, the Americanthinker.com says that the GOP has decided to stop funding Buchanan to get relected. She is the one that said on Chris Matthews’ show that Obama “might have anti-American leanings”. They DROPPED her. That is not RIGHT.

Speaking in Pennsylvania, the Republican veep candidate details her agenda in her first major policy address.

Focuses on giving more choices to parents, devoting additional resources to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and putting a larger effort into reform and refocus.

Read her full remarks here.

“refused medical attention”

This is a definite red herring. If you have ever been involved in even a minor accident you know the police have to check some sort of box that justifies whether they called an ambulance. You need consent to treat someone who is conscious. A report I read said she did go to a hospital and got an MRI and other treatment. If I was injured I would not let the police arrange my treatment, I would make my own arrangements.

Clearly it is in the interest of the Obots to discredit the story quickly whether or not it is true. It’s enough to point out the news item. I am not going to add to the echo chamber by repeating the Obot talking points. I would prefer to wait for a statement from her lawyer.

You don’t need a crystal ball to know that someone who makes a charge like that against the Obama machine will need a lawyer worse than they will need a doctor.

I have – Bush the first, 1988. Just once, though

But I was young and stupid back then. :) Being in AZ – the home of Barry Goldwater – I was infused with Republicanism.

It’s a disease I cured myself from by voting Clinton when I realized the Repub party was out of touch. Now it looks like for the time being the Dem party leadership is out of touch.

Since then, the only Repub I’ve voted for was John McCain – for senator. I only did that recently when he last came up for re-lection. I’ve watched his entire political career and haven’t always been his biggest fan.

But make no mistake, I voted early and voted for him for Pres.

#360 utahpuma on 10.24.08 at 3:00 pm

Email from McCain/Palin campaign. There’s a big push on this weekend in Utah for making calls into New Mexico. Looks like I’ll be on the phone most of the weekend.

Ironically, Hillary is supposed to be stumping in New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah this weekend too.

Its probably some ploy. He is going to say she just confessed that the man he thought was his father isn’t or something. But we all know that he knows all the pertinent facts and would make sure of it before he ran for office.
I think he will try something because the polls have McC w/in 1 pt and people are voting today.

I can only pray it is something that will take him permanently out of the race.

#363 utahpuma on 10.24.08 at 3:01 pm

I was expecting a lot more negative feedback from the Obots, but to my surprise, NO.

I had less than 1% of protesting from the Obots. Hmmmm.

I also heard something from a twenty something that will not vote obie after I bent their ear off…but will not vote for McCain because he “holds his hands at his side like guns and has his thumbs in his belt loops like a cowboy.”

At least he isn’t voting for obie.

Way to go Naomi Judd she stood up for Palin !!!
Country Star Naomi Judd came out of retirement to stump for Palin.
At least 20,000 came out for a rally that was originally scheduled for 4,000.
Country star Naomi Judd just took the stage at the rally, decrying how Gov.
Sarah Palin has been treated by the “liberal media.” The News Leader reported, “Mama Judd is mad,” she told a cheering crowd. “I could not stand by one
more moment while this fabulous woman is viciously attacked.”

Hi all, just got back from picking up groceries @ Whole Foods and left a trail of Freddie’s flyers up and down the aisles. Slipped some in unattended carts too. Everyday it feels like I’m on a roller coaster. One day is full of promise and good news, the next it feels like I can’t stand against the flood.

I was still mad about the concocted “clothing scandal” and now I see yahoo has an article posted about how much Palin’s stylist gets paid. How do we find out how much the DONC spends keeping their pretty boy scrubbed up and looking nice?!? I’m quite sure MO doesn’t give him a home haircut sitting in a kitchen chair on the front porch. And those suits he wears didn’t come from any thrift store! Geeez! What about some real issues that will matter?!? That above post about the guy basing his vote on the clothing thing makes me want to scream.

Supported Nancy Johnson when she was my Republican Congressional representative. She was excellent.

Worked on Joe Lieberman’s Independent Senatorial campaign to defeat the clown, Ned Lamont, that moveon.org endorsed here in CT. Come to think of it, Ned Lamont was a lot like NObama — completely unqualified!

Was looking seriously at Hillary, became horrified at the treatment she received by the ONC and will be voting for McCain/Palin.

Everywhere I go I tell anyone and everyone what is negative about Obama, that he will RAISE taxes DURING a recession, that he will give a green light to DOMESTIC terrorists like BILL AYERS to continue attacks on the United States, that he will take away our right to bear arms, which he voted for time and time again! THAT he will make all ABORTIONS fundable through a taxpayer system, so regardless WHERE you are on the issue you will be paying for women to terminate their children. THAT 1/2 of OBAMA’S campaign contributions came from FOREIGN INTERESTS! THAT our ENEMIES want OBAMA elected because they KNOW he is easily manipulated! THAT Obama will COST jobs, when he taxes corporations and small businesses out of WORK and they are forced into lay-offs, cutting benefits, insurance, retirement, and hours. THAT we all will suffer from the LARGE increases in GAS and FOOD as a result of his HIGHER taxation…that he will take us from a recession straight to a depression! THIS is not a RACE issue, this is NO LONGER about the war (which has shown some great successes and even the Iraqi people are speaking FOR the USA and our efforts…BUT that this IS about SOCIALISTS, and LOSING AMERICA and FREEDOM forever! THAT this is not about adding 300 bucks to people who ALREADY get back all the employment tax they pay in ( IF they pay tax at all), this is about SAVING our FUTURE! AND that of our CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, are you all ready for Hillary to assume the role of Democratic candidate for President of the United States?

http://www.obamacrimes.com/

Important part of the article:

Now Berg cites Rule 36 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which states that unless the accused party provides written answer or objection to charges within 30 days, the accused legally admits the matter.

Since Obama has only filed motions to dismiss and has not actually answered the charges in the lawsuit, Berg claims, according to Rule 36, Obama has legally admitted he is not a natural-born citizen.

Now Berg is asking the court for a formal declaration of Obama’s admission and asking the Democratic National Committee for another presidential candidate.

In a statement released today, Berg argues that he filed Requests for Admissions on Sept. 15, meaning Obama had until Oct. 15 to answer or face the consequences of Rule 36.

“Obama and the DNC ‘admitted,’ by way of failure to timely respond to Requests for Admissions, all of the numerous specific requests in the Federal lawsuit,” Berg’s statement reads. “Obama is ‘not qualified’ to be president and therefore Obama must immediately withdraw his candidacy for president and the DNC shall substitute a qualified candidate.”

It is very important to verify EVERYTHING , and to not jump to conclusions . Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see .

Posted: Thursday, October 23, 2008

McCain has cut into Obama’s lead for a second day and is now just 1.1 points behind. The spread was 3.7 Wednesday and 6.0 Tuesday. The Republican is making headway with middle- and working- class voters, and has surged 10 points in two days among those earning between $30,000 and $75,000. He has also gone from an 11-point deficit to a 9-point lead among Catholics.

A new tape of Bill Ayers from 2002 has emerged in which he says he is a Marxist and an Anarchist … and he reiterates that he doesn’t regret that he took extreme measures against the United States (implying the bombings).
Ayers was in a conference with BO a few days after he made those statements. This is another proof of BO/Ayers ties and BO’s likely knowledge of Ayer’s radical and Communist views.

#404 BillieJo – a lot of them I thought answered either never or once for Bush Sr.
As far as I am concerned, put me in the never a Democrat category.
Perhaps PUMA, Murphy, Rothschild, Heidi Li, Asian4Hillary, mountainsong, Henreitta, Snowtiger, MamaPuma, HPBoston, Osaka, Bluesgal, NewOrleansPuma, DWP, Greenfun, BillieJo must all be at the helm of the DEM party and then I shall register as a DEM!

I think the DEM party has always been ‘Et tu Brutus’ to common man and they have always had a punch bag in Repub and people have willfully accepted it. This economic crisis is a generated one and as a main ingredient the housing crisis exposes how much DEMS were in it. Thanks to all the DEMS in this, people are paying the price and yet willingly following the messiah just because Nancy Pelosi says so.
Someone earlier pointed out the Bush Derangement Syndrome and the Palin Derangement Syndrome. I think beyond Nov 4th there would be a surge in DEMs Derangement Syndrome the only syndrome for which PUMA would have a cure.

Please go to this poll by a publication in VA asking who’s better for the economy (scroll down, to the right). McCain needs to win it. Might affect the outcome. Worth the few seconds it takes to vote.

#437 Anna7000 on 10.24.08 at 4:02 pm

Quick check in….

1. If it looks like it will be an Obama victory in November, does anyone think that we should apply the same down ticket strategy, only in reverse, when voting? We were going to vote McCain and then down ticket Dems to make sure we had checks and balances. BUT, if it looks likely Obama will win (and I can’t believe I’m going to say this), maybe wise to vote down ticket Republicans to keep Obie in check.

2. Never voted Republican in my life till now.

3. Landi, I want to hand it to you re: a comment you made yesterday that has proved very wise, at least to me in retrospect, which is to remain focused on the big issues and not get distracted by stuff that comes up that is not front and center to the main reasons why we must defeat BO.

4. Murphy, I would suggest you remove the threads that announce issues that we now know to be erroneous. It weakens our credibility.

5. And on the subject of threads, IMHO, the issue that mick posted about the FEC filing by the GOP against BO regarding possible foreign contributions is the sort of thing we should have posted at the top of a thread.

Let’s keep our eyes on the big issues, try to avoid stuff that stirs up highly reactive emotions, stick to the facts and keep pounding away.

It’s down to the basics now: swing states. For me that means two things: making calls and urging others to do so.

Great job Texas!!!!
I feel the same way, I would never vote for a Republican this year if my choices were for someone like Rhomney, and if a Democrat hadn’t screwed half of his own party by cheating. I struggled with a vote Repub, but the more dirt that came out over this year, the easier it is to use that one vote a a protest.

Billie Jo – Yeah, it’s the site that stands for African Press International, or something like that. Hillary2008 said she started having computer problems after she visited the site. I started having identical problems, but hadn’t recalled that I had gone to that site. But, while I was out earlier I remembered that I DID click on a link to the site a few days ago cause I was totally out of the loop about what this whole issue was about and was curious. Don’t know if it’s just a coincidence or if the site has a virus it passes along. I’ve run all my virus scans and haven’t come up with anything. But, there’s definitely something seriously wrong with my computer and it’s similar to what Hillary2008 describes as what her computer is doing.

“…As Palin herself pointed out in a recent CNN interview, imagine if she had been the one to imply that electing Obama would invite calamity. Biden does it, and the media shrug.

Re the Ashley Todd story: Respectfully, could we ask that everyone here stop the ‘OMG!’ reactions to reports that she supposedly ‘made it up’? There are many potential explanations for this, including the possibility that she was a BO ‘plant’ to begin with. There’s also the possibility that her story was true, but she’s been browbeaten, coerced, threatened (or paid) to change it. As to the supposed inconsistencies in her story, these could be attributable to memory loss/amnesia as a result of emotional/psychological trauma (plus the head injury). All I’m asking is please don’t jump to conclusions until we hear something more substantive, hopefully from whoever is representing this young woman.

#437Anna: Obama is not going to win and I will not vote for a down Democrat ticket re Senate or Congress at all. The strategy of downticket Democrats is, in my view, no longer a strategy that in anyway supports retaining the semblance of any nature of this Republic, especially if the Democrats get a majority or veto proof Congress. NO…No Down ticket strategy here, I assure you. Any new person coming in is coming in on the same backs of the same slime sleze of so called Democratic “leadership” and money and intimidation tactics that has usurped this party. I had advocated in other places after the Dem primary to vote a Veto Proof Congress . This would be the worse thing that could happen now other than Ojingo.
The so called Dem leadership, now with the 401 k ideas clearly intend to raid and/or nationalize every source of money they can, as they move this country to a one world,banking financial system that feeds the very people and forces that have us where we are financially in the first place.

At least 20,000 came out for a rally that was originally scheduled for 4,000.
Country star Naomi Judd just took the stage at the rally, decrying how Gov.
Sarah Palin has been treated by the “liberal media.” The News Leader reported, “Mama Judd is mad,” she told a cheering crowd. “I could not stand by one
more moment while this fabulous woman is viciously attacked.”

Anna et al. re: down ticket voting: IMHO, this might not be the wisest strategy but I am so fed up w/ the democrats strutting their feathers, they practically have already claimed a filibuster proof house that I voted straight down ticket republican.
My early ballot sat on my desk for a few weeks before I did it but I have known in my heart for a long time I could not support a single democrat this year.
I have mailed in my ballot and here in Az although I changed my registration on June 2, I wonder if they still track me as a demo because we have gotten so many calls from the local democratic committee.
So, hopefully they think I have voted demo when they see my ballot come.

BTW- just spent an hour calling for McCain, I go in thru the justsayodeal site so I am connected only to dems and indys- got a lot of undecideds and a few BOs, no firm McCains but I did a lot of convincing- it gets easier w/ every call

Not to dredge up, or continue, ad nauseum, drama and issues from other threads, but I’ve noticed in comments, other than yours, that the point was missed. The original commenter said she knew what she would have done in the situation in which the woman found herself. the issue was not so much the questioning by other women.

I’m against editing the blog /intro pieces / comments. Acknowledging or not, the theme of the blog was an honest mistake, and that mistake does not negate the centuries of violence against women. I’m also against demanding the burying or removal of blog/thread themes that make me uncomfortable.
I’d rather leave those determinations to the blog owner, or leave the blog for the period of time between the current and new theme, or barring those options, just start my own blog.

A minute ago, while I was on the blog, a neighbor lady came by to tell me she’s moving to another place for Seniors in Seattle. I had my TV on so I muted it. Well, who’s face should appear but BO. The woman starts going on and on about how wonderful he is and how the democrats are going to ’save the world’ and how she hates McCain cuz he’s a “military man” , yada, yada, and then she launches into Sarah Plin.
So by now I’m getting a little irritated so I tell her I don’t give a rat’s ass about Obama.
She says, “Hmmph!! Well, I don’t give a rats ass about McCain or whether you like it or not. What do you think of that?”
LOL You got it~~~ I said, “Oh, Hell, Nooo!!! NOT in My house!!! Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but I was having a pleasant afternoon and I’m not gonna have someone shoving Obama down my throat in my own house!!”
So she says, “Well, if you’re going to be mean about it, I’ll just leave.”

Obama does seem to bring out the worst in people. Because of him the DNC forgot all about the laws of the land, friends are fighting and dividing over politics, and race relations have been sent back to the 1950’s. He is only campaigning and looks at the damage he has caused, imagine him in the white house. I am also concerned about the massive election night event he has planned out side in a Chicago park. When he loses I guess that is where the riots will start. He is a dark force.

#500 NewOrleansPuma on 10.24.08 at 4:46 pm

Mountainsong: Isn’t it fascinating, just as an aside, that so often people who come into one’s space, home or not, call the other mean or get all bent out of shape when edconfronts with opposition to comments made which were somehow just supposed to be accepted by you as “neutral”, when in fact they are not? I have found this to be true no matter the subject over the years, which is why when anyone does that to me re any subject I immediately respond my opposition directly. Apparently, a lot of people do not do that or so many would not automatically assume what they say is ok, but what the other might think is unacceptable to even say in the air! Human beings can really be bound totally around our own lit tle individual worlds…and this election really has revealed that solipsistic tendency!

#507 notfollowinthepiedpiper on 10.24.08 at 4:56 pm

In spite of polls, and all the MSM spew about their messiah, I do not see how BO could win this election for one simple reason. The last two elections went to Rep. even with the party solidly united. If even a quarter of the democrat party casts protest votes for McCain (and that’s a conservative estimate) the numbers just won’t add up.

505 slyt2 I thought the same thing, if Granny is so sick why is MO stumping today and where are the kids. The whole story smells foul.

I watch Sarah on Hannity last night and was impressed by her point on Ayres, what does Ayres and others see in Obama. I never looked at it that way before.

#509 HP Boston on 10.24.08 at 4:57 pm

slyt2 on 10.24.08 at 4:54 pm #495 NobamaNetwork well of course they are reporting he is going there for Grandma , the reports saying she is dying (not going make it to election, maybe not even to her birthday on Sunday) that is what the news said but the question is why isn’t his whole family there then and why did he wait so long, I think it has to do with Andy Martin and we may see Grandma make a miracle recovery but then I could be wrong..

You are WRIGHT! OBAMA is dead wrong………….

I read somewhere, an interview with Granny’s brother. He said she was doing ok. Said he was going to visit because Sunday is her birthday.

#512 SusyT on 10.24.08 at 4:58 pm

Kempion,
I just had that same conversation with my husband, regarding the possibility of an Obama plant!

#513 NewOrleansPuma on 10.24.08 at 4:58 pm

#slyt2: I am sure this old lady has had to swallow a hella va lot of heartache from the likes of this piece of crap, Obama, over the years for many reasons, as well as suffer the repercussions of seeing a daughter totally turn out to be a whacko looser…I hope the poor soul can die ,if she is to do so now, in peace, with whatever fantasy or real memories of love she can retain.

#506 Kempion – Very much so! If the person is not true then how false can she be to do this. I don’t expect this to be an isolated incident. No one would make a jack ass of oneself unless there is something in it.
I think what is in it for her is the OBOTism.

#522 slyt2 on 10.24.08 at 5:05 pm

#510 stoney42 hmm i know they did say that about her birthday but on some interview he said he wasn’t there when his mother died and he wouldn’t make the same mistake with his grandma, now that being said this morning they said he wasn’t allowing press with him on visited but they did talk to someone who was there and they said she is very bad and don’t know if she will last to her birthday . So see you heard what you heard and i heard what I heard so the story just changes i swear his whole life is a freaking lie.

I have confused everyone. It was Granny’s brother. He lives somewhere here in the States. I read it off of a link someone on the blog provided. Can’t remember what link. Granny’s brother was interviewed right after BO announced he was going to visit Granny because she was ill. Granny’s brother said Granny had a problem with her hip, was home from the hospital and that he, the brother was going to visit her because its her birthday day Sunday – not because she is ill.

Did any of you hear the call-ins on Hannity today? One was a lady who had received a call from the Gallup poll…. I don’t remember the whole scenario, but I remember thinking it was pretty slanted. Anybody remember what that was about?

By the way… the “polls” are saying that Palin has a 51% disapproval rating now. That is REALLY hard to believe! Considering how high the rating was for SNL with her on it, considering how large the groups are to see her…… this is really really hard to swallow! Can’t help but wonder who on earth they “polled” to get THAT result!!!

NobamaNetwork on 10.24.08 at 4:45 pm Obama does seem to bring out the worst in people. Because of him the DNC forgot all about the laws of the land, friends are fighting and dividing over politics, and race relations have been sent back to the 1950’s. He is only campaigning and looks at the damage he has caused, imagine him in the white house. I am also concerned about the massive election night event he has planned out side in a Chicago park. When he loses I guess that is where the riots will start. He is a dark force.

Despite what the Bots try to invent, Sarah draws more crowds than Bozo so that 51% is BS.

My mom got a poll call last night. She was too afraid to hang up thinking they would assume she was a McCain supporter and she was too afraid to tell them she was voting for McCain so she lied and said she was voting for Bozo.

My mom told me she is so scared of BlahBlah and his cult goons that she is afraid they could trace her number and do something bad to her, her property, her credit and so on.

I wonder how many people are handling this the same way. It could be a reason the poll numbers are so skewed.

Well, a man in a truck drove by and said, AND I QUOTE “I WILL KILL YOU” and “I WILL GET YOU” right on the street. He drove by TWICE. Then, a man in a blue car drove by with a sign that said “I HOPE YOU GET CANCER AND DIE ALONE” and he drove by FOUR TIMES and the last two times he just screamed out “DIE.” He also used an obscene gesture.

NOT NICE people…really not nice. But I stood up and EACH TIME AN OBOT said that I would yell-and I HAVE A LOUD LOUD VOICE–”I was just threatened by an OBAMATON….par for the course as OBAMA has run a thug campaign where violence and misogyny are commonplace.” THe obots holding signs were NOT HAPPY, but the truth hurts….DEAL WITH IT….

I was also threatened and slandered by the local GLBT group, and I am going to have my attorney deal with it Monday morning. I was called “stupid, ignorant, racist, ugly, silly, full of nonsense, etc., etc.” and I was demeaned with obscene gestures, laughter, and photographs. BUT GUESS WHAT….I COULD NOT CARE LESS and I will be there HOLDING MY SIGN until you take it from my COLD DEAD HANDS and even from my grave I will rise and TAKE IT BACK!!!

UPDATE. 3:17pm Friday

I’m on the road, confined to Blackberry, and just got word that the decision will likely NOT be today after all. First, I was told it would be on Thursday or Friday. Then, I was told yesterday that it would be at the end of yesterday or this morning. Now, I’m being told not to hold my breath.

Listen, it’s understandable. No judge wants to be overturned, especially with something like this. Take heart in knowing that, personally, I think it would take longer to side with Berg than to dismiss him, but that’s just a amateurish thought. Still, I AM dissapointed, but also am glad that I will be able to bring details to you in full, details I couldn’t provide on Blackberry.

#551 KER on 10.24.08 at 5:32 pm

I’ve voted Dem in every election since ‘72 (my first).

This year, I watched hours and hours of the Congressional Dems on C-span give the house away to Ben Bernanke, Paulson, the Mortgage Brokers, the Bankers, Fannie and Freddie, Wall Street, basically ANYBODY except average Americans.

At the same time, I watched, to my amazement, as Congressional Republicans came forward and made speech after speech after speech imploring the Dems to get off the Wall Street teat and back on the side of We the People.

To a life-long Dem, it was astounding.

Unfortunately, the Congress was solid Dem majority so they were able to easily continue f*cking all average Americans and keep giving it all away to Wall Street.

Although I was not yet comfortable, after years of Dem brainwashing, to vote for a regular Republican, I knew I could NOT vote for a Dem president. So I voted Ron Paul in the Primaries, a man with real principles.

I sincerely doubt I will ever vote Dem again. Aside from 2 or 3 really principled dems, the whole Party is in the tank for big money and, it’s their whole raison d’etre at this point.

I now believe that the Dems have been losing their voting base for years, thus their insistence on “creating” one, that is a solid poverty-stricken majority that they can then claim they are helping.

They accomplish this via rampant inflation (impossible for the poor to keep up with), illegal immigration (drives wages down and creates yet more poor people).

Then they create social programs that throw these people that they have damaged economically a tiny bone, a very low level existence that keeps them dependent on the gov. dole. A vicious, premeditated circle designed to manufacture a poverty stricken base that will then vote for them.

and if they don’t care to vote? create a Gov. Program (ACORN) that will come as close to forcing them to vote as one possibly can.

whoops, can you tell I hate the Dems now?

After McCain wins, I’m going to check out the Constitution Party. I want the Dems to go away and be replaced by a new Party that really DOES care about the poor and supports them in finding a dignified place in life, not a cracked up existence in some American Slum.

He couldn’t counter many of the arguments I made (I know alot thanks to all of you), and he even stated that he doesn’t like BO, but he is going to vote for him anyway.

I made all my points. He debated back with BO talking points. So I failed to get him on board for NOBO, but hey, I tried.

Thanks for listening. Needed to vent.

#539 KarenWI

The caller was asked two questions: 1) did she approve or disapprove of the job Pres. Bush was doing–she said she approved, 2) what was she most concerned about–she said national security, taxes and the economy (I think that’s the right order) to which the Gallop pollster asked her to wait and then never came back on the phone.

#564 KarenWI on 10.24.08 at 5:52 pm

#551 KER- a couple years ago the repubs (the bill was co-sponsored by McCain) tried to fix Fannie and Freddie before it got bad. The dem leadership (including Obama) stopped it cold. My personal opinion (which I will never be able to prove) is that the dems KNEW the problem even back then, and PLANNED all of the mess we’re in, by standing in the way of a cure… knowing that they could “stick it to the republicans” later. It’s happening just like they planned…. with an added bonus that the timing is just before the election. The sad part is… the public seems like it wants to reward those who knowingly created this problem by not only putting them back in, but putting all their buddies in too!

#565 Rodham in Flag on 10.24.08 at 5:54 pm

#569 Ex-DemInVA on 10.24.08 at 5:58 pm

I received this well-written letter via E-mail from a friend today.

Letter from a Virginian to Obama

To Barack Hussein Obama,

The New York Times carried a story on Saturday, October 4, 2008 that proved you had a significantly closer relationship with Bill Ayers than what you previously admitted. While the issue of your relationship is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about it.

The Chicago Sun reported on May 8, 2008 that FBI records showed that you had a significantly closer relationship with Tony Rezko than what you previously admitted. In the interview, you said that you only saw Mr. Rezko a couple of times a year. The FBI files showed that you saw him weekly. While the issue of your relationship is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about it.

Your speech in Philadelphia on March 18, 2008 about ‘race’ contradicted your statement to Anderson Cooper on March 14 when you said that you never heard Reverend Wright make his negative statements about white America . While your attendance at Trinity Church for 20 years is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America on March 14.

In your 1st debate with John McCain, you said that you never said that you would meet with the leaders of Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and North Korea without ‘preparations’ at lower levels … Joe Biden repeated your words in his debate with Sarah Palin … while the video tape from your debate last February clearly shows that you answered ‘I would’ to the question of meeting with those leaders within 12 months without ‘any’ preconditions. While your judgment about meeting with enemies of the USA without pre-conditions is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America in the debate with McCain.

On July 14, 2008, you said that you always knew that the surge would work while the video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you stated that the surge would not work. While your judgment about military strategy as a potential commander in chief is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America on July 14.

You now claim that your reason for voting against funding for the troops was because the bill did not include a time line for withdrawal while the video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you voted against additional funding because you wanted our troops to be removed immediately … not in 16 months after the 2008 election as you now claim. While your judgment about removing our troops unilaterally in 2007 is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about your previous position.

You claim to have a record of working with Republicans while the record shows that the only bill that you sponsored with a Republican was with Chuck Lugar … and it failed. The record shows that you vote 97% in concert with the Democrat party and that you have the most liberal voting record in the Senate. You joined Republicans only 13% of the time in your votes and those 13% were only after agreement from the Democrat party. While it is of concern that you fail to include conservatives in your actions and that you are such a liberal, the greater concern is that you distorted the truth.

In the primary debates of last February, 2008, you claimed to have talked with a ‘Captain’ of a platoon in Afghanistan ‘the other day’ when in fact you had a discussion in 2003 with a Lieutenant who had just been deployed to Afghanistan . You lied in that debate.

In your debates last spring, you claimed to have been a ‘professor of Constitutional law’ when in fact you have never been a professor of Constitutional law. In this last debate, you were careful to say that you ‘taught a law class’ and never mentioned being a ‘professor of Constitutional law.’ You lied last spring.

You and Joe Biden both claimed that John McCain voted against additional funding for our troops when the actual records show the opposite. You distorted the truth.

You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted against funding for alternate energy sources 20 times when the record shows that John McCain specifically voted against funding for bio fuels, especially corn … and he was right . corn is too expensive at producing ethanol, and using corn to make ethanol increased the price of corn from $2 a bushel to $6 a bushel for food. You distorted the truth.

You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted like both of you for a tax increase on those making as little as $42,000 per year while the voting record clearly shows that John McCain did not vote as you and Joe Biden. You lied to America .

You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted with George W. Bush 90% of the time when you know that Democrats also vote 90% of the time with the President (including Joe Biden) because the vast majority of the votes are procedural. You are one of the few who has not voted 90% of the time with the president because you have been missing from the Senate since the day you got elected. While your absence from your job in the Senate is of concern, the greater concern is that you spin the facts.

You did not take an active roll in the rescue plan. You claimed that the Senate did not need you while the real reason that you abstained was because of your close relationships with the executives of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Countrywide, and Acorn … who all helped cause the financial problems of today … and they all made major contributions to your campaign. While your relationship with these executives and your protection of them for your brief 3 years in the Senate (along with Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer, Maxine Waters, and Chris Dodd) is of concern, the greater concern is that you are being deceitful.

You forgot to mention that you personally represented Tony Rezko and Acorn. Tony Rezko, an Arab and close friend to you, was convicted of fraud in Chicago real estate transactions that bilked millions of tax dollars from the Illinois government for renovation projects that you sponsored as a state senator … and Acorn has been convicted of voter fraud, real estate sub prime loan intimidation, and illegal campaign contributions. Tony Rezko has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to your political campaigns. You personally used your political positions to steer money to both Tony Rezko and Acorn and you used Acorn to register thousands of phony voters for Democrats and you. While your relationships with Rezko and Acorn are of concern, the greater concern is that you omitted important facts about your relationships with them to America .

During your campaign, you said: ‘typical white person.’ ‘they cling to their guns and religion.’ ‘they will say that I am black.’ You played the race card. You tried to label any criticism about you as racist. You divide America .

You claim that you will reduce taxes for 95% of America , but you forgot to tell America that those reductions are after you remove the Bush tax reductions. You have requested close to $1 Billion in earmarks and several million for Acorn. Your social programs will cost America $1 Trillion per year and you claim that a reduction in military spending ($100 billion for Iraq ) can pay for it. While your economic plan of adding 30% to the size of our federal government is of concern, the greater concern is that you are deceiving America .

The drain to America ’s economy by foreign supplied oil is $700 Billion per year (5% of GDP) while the war in Iraq is $100 Billion (less than 1% of GDP). You voted against any increases to oil exploration for the last 3 years and any expansion of nuclear facilities. Yet today, you say that you have always been for more oil and more nuclear. You are lying to America .

Mr. Obama, you claimed that you ‘changed’ your mind about public financing for your campaign because of the money spent by Republican PACs in 2004. The truth is that the Democrat PACs in 2004, 2006, and 2008 spent twice as much as the Republican PACs (especially George Soros and MoveOn.org). You are lying to America .

Mr. Obama, you have done nothing to stop the actions of the teachers union and college professors in the USA . They eliminated religion from our history. They teach pro gay agendas and discuss sex with students as young as first grade. They bring their personal politics into the classrooms. They disparage conservatives. They brainwash our children. They are in it for themselves … not America . Are you reluctant to condemn their actions because teachers/professors and the NEA contribute 25% of all money donated to Democrats and none to Republicans? You are deceiving America .

Oh Mr. Obama, Teddy Roosevelt said about a hundred years ago that we Americans should first look at the character of our leaders before anything else.

Your character looks horrible. While you make good speeches, motivating speeches, your character does not match your rhetoric. You talk the talk but do not walk the walk.

1. You lied to America . You lied many times. You distorted facts. You parsed your answers like a lawyer.

2. You distorted the record of John McCain in your words and in your advertisements.

3. You had associations with some very bad people for your personal political gains and then lied about those associations.

4. You divide America about race and about class.

Now let me compare your record of lies, distortions, race bating, and associations to John McCain: War hero. Annapolis graduate with ‘Country first.’ Operational leadership experience like all 43 previously elected presidents of the USA as a Navy Officer for 22 years. 26 years in the Senate. Straight talk. Maverick. 54% of the time participated on bills with Democrats. Never asked for an earmark. The only blemish on his record is his part in the Keating 5 debacle about 25 years ago.

Mr. Obama, at Harvard Law School , you learned that the end does not justify the means. You learned that perjury, false witness, dishonesty, distortion of truth are never tolerated. Yet, your dishonesty is overwhelming. Your dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty that caused the impeachment and disbarment of Bill Clinton. Your dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty of Scooter Libby. You should be ashamed.

Mr. Obama, it is time for us Americans to put aside our differences on political issues and vote against you because of your dishonest character. It is time for all of us Americans to put aside our political issues and vote for America first. It is time for America to vote for honesty.

Any people who vote for you after understanding that you are dishonest should be ashamed of themselves for making their personal political issues more important than character. Would these same people vote for the anti-Christ if the anti-Christ promised them riches? Would they make a golden calf while Moses was up the mountain? Would they hire someone for a job if that someone lied in an interview? … of course not. So why do some of these people justify their votes for you even though they know you are dishonest? Why do they excuse your dishonesty? Because some of these people are frightened about the future, the economy, and their financial security . and you are preying on their fears with empty promises … and because some (especially our young people) are consumed by your wonderful style and promises for ‘change’ like the Germans who voted for Adolf Hitler in 1932. The greed/envy by Germans in 1932 kept them from recognizing Hitler for who he was. They loved his style. Greed and envy are keeping many Americans from recognizing you … your style has camouflaged your dishonesty … but many of us see you for who you really are … and we will not stop exposing who you are every day, forever if it is necessary.

Mr. Obama, you are dishonest. Anyone who votes for you is enabling dishonesty.

Mr. Obama, America cannot trust that you will put America first in your decisions about the future.

Mr. Obama, you are not the ‘change’ that America deserves. We cannot trust you.

Mr. Obama, You are not ready and not fit to be commander in chief.

Mr. Obama, John McCain does not have as much money as your campaign to refute all of your false statements. And for whatever reasons, the mainstream media will not give adequate coverage or research about your lies, distortions, word parsing, bad associations, race baiting, lack of operational leadership experience, and general dishonest character. The media is diverting our attention to your relationships and ignoring the fact that you lied about those relationships. The fact that you lied is much more important than the relationships themselves … just like with Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon … Monica Lewinski and Watergate were not nearly as bad as the fact that those gentlemen lied about the events … false witness … perjury … your relationships and bad judgments are bad on their own … but your lies are even worse.

Therefore, by copy of this memo, all who read this memo are asked to send it to everyone else in America before it is too late. We need to do the job that the media will not do. We need to expose your dishonesty so that every person in America understands who you really are before election day.

Mr. Obama, in a democracy, we get what we deserve. And God help America if we deserve you.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., speaks at a sta…
3 hours ago
Loading… Must Read?Thank YouYes 166

PHILADELPHIA — His backers feeling increasingly confident, Democrat Barack Obama made a slight nod to his Republican rival on Saturday and asked voters to have faith in him as the next president.

Even as he criticized John McCain’s economic policies, Obama acknowledged that the GOP nominee has asked his supporters to temper their attacks on him.

“I appreciated his reminder that we can disagree while still being respectful of each other,” Obama told thousands of supporters at the first of four outdoor rallies in Philadelphia.

“Sen. McCain has served this country with honor,” he said two hours later, in the city’s Germantown neighborhood. “He deserves our thanks for that.”

At a town-hall event Friday in Minnesota, McCain took the microphone from a woman who said Obama is an Arab. McCain said, “No, ma’am,” and he called Obama “a decent, family man.”

McCain drew boos at the same event when he told a supporter who expressed fear at the prospect of Obama’s election that the Democrat is a “person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States.”

Those reassurances aside, McCain’s TV ads continue to attack Obama sharply. Some hit his ties to a former radical who co-founded a violent anti-war group in the 1960s. Yet on Saturday at an event in Iowa, McCain didn’t mention the past association and focused on their policy disagreements.

Obama referred to the ads Saturday. “We’ve seen rough stuff on the TV from them,” he said. “I can take it for four more weeks,” but the nation cannot take “four more years of Bush-McCain economics.”

“I will be a president who puts you first,” he said, asking voters not to lose hope in the economy before President Bush can be replaced.

Polls show Obama leading in several battleground states, and some of his top surrogates feel victory is nearly in reach.

“The one thing we can’t let happen is for us to be overconfident,” Pennsylvania Gov. Edward Rendell told donors at a Friday fundraiser, where he introduced Obama.

Although Obama says anything can happen in the campaign’s final 24 days, hints of his optimism are creeping into his unscripted remarks.

“In some ways this is a celebratory event” as “we’re now coming to the end of what has been a two-year process, an extraordinary journey,” Obama said at a second Philadelphia fundraiser Friday night. The host, Comcast executive David L. Cohen, said the two events raised more than $5 million.

As 250 major donors ate beet salad and mahi-mahi under a huge tent, Obama seemed to look ahead to his first term as president.

“We’re going to have to make some priorities, we’re going to have to cut some things out,” he said, referring to expensive goals such as improving health care, schools and college affordability.

“I’m going to be in some fights with my own Democratic Party in getting some of that done,” he said.

Defying tradition in GOP-leaning states, he said, he is leading McCain in Montana and North Carolina. His lead in Virginia, which Democrats last carried in 1964, is 6 or 7 percentage points, he told the donors.

Obama added, however: “Who knows what can happen in the next 25 days?”

Democrats have carried Pennsylvania in recent presidential elections, although sometimes narrowly. McCain has campaigned aggressively in the state, but polls show Obama leading.

Democrats usually win huge margins in Philadelphia and try to minimize their losses in the state’s smaller cities and more rural areas. Obama’s barnstorming of Philadelphia was designed to drive his base’s vote as high as possible.

Under a brilliant blue sky, Obama’s four events here drew 60,000 people according to Philadelphia police, but it was impossible to verify the estimates. At some sites, thousands of people were unable to get through the gates. They stood on cars and craned their necks for a glimpse, sometimes blocks away. Crowds cheered Obama’s motorcade as it arrived and left each site.

Obama read the same speech each time, but he ad-libbed a bit and seemed increasingly buoyant as the day progressed. Telling his favorite new story about buying pie from a Republican-leaning Ohio diner owner, he joked with a woman who called out from the Germantown crowd.

“You will make me some pie?” he asked. “What kind of pie do you make? Sweet potato pie?”

As the crowd roared, he poured it on. “We’re going to have to have a sweet potato pie contest,” he said. “I’ll be the judge, because I want my sweet potato pie.”

I’m so sick of people like this. This person should be the poster child for pro-choice or condom use. Way to go Murphy on calling this waste of human life out for what it really is:

“Too bad you people don’t have any brains. If you don’t live in the still-backwards South, where the education of the American citizens is STILL the lowest in the country, I’m sure they’d welcome you there.”

Hello! I’m from the south. I have a BA and a BS and I’m working on a masters!! I lived most of my life in the mtns. of VA and now I’m in NC. Voted Dem, registered dem, but not a backwards idiot. I have brains and I will not support a ticket that does not deserve supporting. BO’s plans on taxes and gov spending are crap and that’s just my short list. I would have voted for Hillary no problem. Her platform deserved supporting.

That’s a good sign! I just sent in the mail today another donation to McCain/Palin as well. I made my first contribution to McCain in early June when I left the Democratic party and became an Independent. I have never voted straight Republican before. I voted once for a Republican in 1988 – GHWB. This year, it is straight Republican. I cannot wait to cast my vote for McCain/Palin. I may not agree with all of their policies, but they are two straight-forward, honest, hard-working people who love this country and will put the country first!

Had a good sign today. On my way inot work In had one of my favorite radio stations on. They have a “morning zoo” format, which I rarely listen to. Thye usually go after McCain or Palin.
Anyway, for the first time, they were making Obumbles jokes. All morning long.

DO these people not synch their lies? WOULD they know what the TRUTH is? HOW is it that ACORN escapes, with blatant voter fraud and over 1 Billion in taxpayer money to perpetrate election fraud and YET, SARAH PALIN’S donated clothing is a newsworthy issue? Ayers is shoved under the rug as a NONE issue, no matter that PEOPLE died in his bombing spree….HE is an OKAY guy, and Michelle Obama’s over indulgence of caviar, champagne (1,000 bucks a bottle) and lobster is WORTHY of an apology for OFFENDING HER????

And yes, my husband and I both voted this past weekend: Republican Ticket. To be honest, it still feels wierd to type the “R” word. But then again, Senator John McCain isn’t really a true “R” anyway, is he?

There’s only one Dem Senator in my state of Oregon who would have gotten my vote, and thankgod his term wasn’t up for re-vote–Senator Ron Wyden–who by the way is proven to work across Party lines and who is a true, loyal fighter for the people and issues of this State. So I felt my Repub Ticket vote would be balanced with Wyden still in the mix.
These two Oregon Dems voted McCain/Palin ‘08–first time, and it felt goooood!!!!

#611 diva2 on 10.24.08 at 6:33 pm

Saw it on fox today. Don’t remember who they were but one said he endorsed nobo, another one wasn’t happy about McCain/Palin and one more was really ticked off about the way McCain handled his campaign (don’t think this last one actually supported nobo).

What is interesting, many republicans are speaking out saying they don’t like McCain’s pick of Palin and are really ticked off. Who gives a you-know-what at this point. Palin was selected and if Republicans are angry about this, is this worse than having everything run by the undem dems. They are repeating similar rhetoric to Powell’s rhetoric. I wonder if they are getting alot of pressure from other Dems in Congress??

#612 ontherocks on 10.24.08 at 6:34 pm

I try to find the silver lining in things, but I have to admit I am getting really worried that BO will be our next POTUS. The media makes BO look like the second coming of Christ and his fans are getting more bold by the day.
I know a poll is just a poll and the only one that counts is on Nov. 4th. I am just feeling down about this.
I have given money to McCain, I have made calls, I have passed out fliers and talked to people until I was out of breath some people get it and some people just think I am nuts.

I don’t understand why the Repubs would go along with this except for the big money behind BO. It’s all corrupt and they must be also. They don’t like McCain because he is not one of them and I don’t undetrstand why they don’t like Palin, she surely is conservative enough. Actually too conservative for me although I voted Repub all the way.

I recognized one of the guys but don’t recall his name. He MAY have been retired Congress but I don’t know for sure. I didn’t think so. Was only partially paying attention. They may replay the info.

JenniforHillary YOU ARE BRAVE. I have endured similar during the primary days….I will be out tomorrow in Philly, PA WITH FREDDI FLYERS!!!!!!!!!! Taking abuse again!

FREDDIE…..thank you for all of your help with flyers. I received the second package today. Are you sending me more on Saturday? I will distribute tomorrow to workers who will push NOBAMA to the Undecideds.

PUMAS BE VERY CAREFUL GOING OUT ALONE DOING ANTI OBAMA WORK, especially in Light of the girl/atm story. Obonots are driven by HATE AND EVIL, and will stop at NOTHING to have their way! Work in PAIRS in any uncertain areas…..TAKE NOONE FOR GRANTED!

“Carole Love, who now lives in Texas, praised Obama for taking time away from the campaign to visit Dunham.

“It shows what kind of a person he is,” she said. “It’s absolutely so fantastic that he stopped everything to come see his grandmother.”

~~~~~~~~~~

REALLY NOW?? Stopped everything and came to see his granny THREE days later? When they’re not sure if she’ll even make it through another week, he was fine with waiting 3 days before showing up?? Spent the time on a nostalgic walk through his old neighborhood with a gaggle of reporters in tow, instead of by granny’s side? Let’s see, could there be another motive… like trying to make himself appear human to the voting public?

#623 KarenWI on 10.24.08 at 6:41 pm

diva2- I’m sorry but I have a hard time believing that more than one or two active repub’s in the senate or house are going to come out saying they support Obama. There are one or two “turncoats” (who are more RINO’s than anything else) but until I know the names and either see it in black and white or else in print, I guess I’m gonna be stubborn and not believe it. I’m not doubting you diva2… I just wonder how many of these are ACTIVE senators and house members… and not former ones, for example…

#624 ontherocks on 10.24.08 at 6:41 pm

I think the GOP needs some emails to remind them that you can’t win an election by dissin McCain. Even if you don’t like him or Palin; compared to BO they are angels.

#625 VAKatforPalin on 10.24.08 at 6:42 pm

From Fox News… Republicans for Obama… pissants!

Former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, a Republican, endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president on Friday, citing the senator’s steady leadership, good judgment and ability to unify Democrats, Republicans and independents.

“Sen. Obama is a once-in-a-lifetime candidate who will transform our politics and restore America’s standing in the world,” Weld said in a statement.

“We need a president who will lead based on our common values and Sen. Obama demonstrates an ability to unite and inspire. Throughout this campaign I’ve watched his steady leadership through trying times and I’m confident he is the best candidate to move our country forward,” he said.

Weld joined other prominent Republicans endorsing Obama over GOP nominee John McCain in the campaign’s final weeks, including former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former Minnesota Gov. Arne Carlson and Scott McClellan, former press secretary to President Bush.

Last year, Weld came to New Hampshire to campaign for another former Massachusetts governor, Republican Mitt Romney, who ended his bid for the presidential nomination in February.

Weld was governor of Massachusetts from 1991 to 1997. Before that, he was U.S. attorney for Massachusetts under President Reagan and was later led the criminal division of the Justice Department.

Thats what they want. To get us feeling that there is no hope of victory. Just like they did to Hillary.
Think about this.
It should be a democratic runaway by any reasonable standard. It isnt. There should be a huge difference in newly registered voters there isn’t.
There should be a huge nargin of the early polling for Carpathia, After all, he promoted going early and McCAin didn’t.
The margin? 2%.
Pollsters are being hung up,on at twice the normal rates. 80% That means people are angry at the pollsters.
The AOL straw poll has accuretly prdicted the winner in the last three elections (maybe it was the last four). Even though the obots have tried to manipulate the poll, McCAin keeps winning.
Everyone of those facts points to a McCAin win.
Oh and PUMAS should all be on board with bobo by now.
Any PUMAS like to tell us how much they now support The Chosen one?
Keep working. We are winning.

Once again I ask you to visit Michele Bachmann’s Congresswoman from Minnisota and friend of Sarah Palins website and donate. After an appearance on Chris Mathews where he convinced her to say that Obama was anti american he raised 1.3 million for her Dem opponent and Nancy Pelosi threw in another million to try and defeat her in her re-election bid. I think we need to show her some love and donate what we can. Thanks!!!

#640 atypical on 10.24.08 at 6:50 pm

I sent this to the media in several states. Had one obot (apparently) tell me that it was just propaganda and not even believable.

OBAMA PATRIOTISM
This is one of the most dispiriting things I have ever seen in an
election for the highest office of our country. Not only should this
man be relieved of his duties as a Senator but should never never be
considered for this high office. Please pass this on to some of your
Democratic friends to see their take on it!
The following is a narrative taken from Sunday Morning’s televised
‘Meet The Press’ and the author is employed by none other than the
Washington Post!!
>From Sunday’s Televised ‘Meet the Press’ Senator Obama was asked about
his stance on the American Flag. Obama Explains National Anthem Stance
Sun, 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, General Bill Ginn’ USAF (ret.) asked
Obama to explain why he doesn’t follow protocol when the National
Anthem is played. The General also stated to the Senator that
according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171…
During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed,
all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention
facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. At the very least,
‘Stand and Face It’
Senator Obama Live on Sunday stated:
‘As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as
taking sides, Obama said. ‘There are a lot of people in the world to
whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem
itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air
and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less
bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like To Teach the World To Sing.’ If
that were our anthem, then I might salute it.’We should consider to
reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better
offer our enemies hope and love. It’s my intention, if elected, to
disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren.
If we as a Nation of warring people, should conduct ourselves as the
nations of Islam, whereas peace prevails. Perhaps a state or period of
mutual concord between our governments. When I become President, I
will seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who
have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from
disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation have placed upon the
nations of Islam an unfair injustice. My wife disrespects the Flag for
many personal reasons. Together she and I have attended several flag
burning ceremonies in the past, many years ago. She has her views and
I have mine’. Of course now, I have found myself about to become the
President of the United States and I have put aside my hatred. I will
use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a
new path of hope. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country’s
First Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States
of America.’
WHAAAAAAAT the Hell !!!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it right. This could possibly be
our next President.
I, for one, am speechless.

#633 Snowtiger

Yes, that is a strategy. A previous post I made was that we know endorsements don’t mean anything, only the vote counts. We also know it is a typical campaign strategy to make the voters THINK they are ahead so people either will say, “what the heck, he is going to win, why waste my time voting or well, he is going to win anyway, might as well will just vote for him.” We know this didn’t work with Senator Clinton but who knows anymore!

I think at this point in the campaign a lot of people are turned off to politics and are angry. I think some of the messages regarding Obama’s associations have gotten through. A friend told be that he had a doctor’s appointment yesterday, and patients in the waiting room asked to change the TV from NBC to Fox News. Not a single person objected, and most were vocal concerning their dislike on NBC.

Granted, I live in a Red State, but the level of anger among people here is very high.

PUMAs simply embrace whatever makes them feel like a victim today. At first it was misogyny, then it was “the race card,” then the nefarious machinations of the Democratic Party, then their well-earned abandonment by Hillary and Bill.

Now it’s “socialism.” Meanwhile, you are utterly snowblind to the dangers of another Republican administration, and giddy at the thought of foisting one on the rest of us because your own party “hurt” you.

Hate to say this but there are some Republicans that don’t view McCain as a Republican so they don’t feel they need to support him. This is their way to ” get back at the party”.

is a staunch conservative, was not happy. It took me and my aunt to turn her around….

Gov. Weld, Colin Powell, and these looney politicians have the funds to fall back on under the draconian BO, if he is elected. However, this election will be decided by Joe the Plumber, Pumas, Harriet Christian, Latinos, Asians, and so on.

The public is angry at BO, the MSM, and these politicians because they are willing to risk our future on the biggest socialist and marxist candidate in American history. Shame on them!

Donated to Michelle Bachmann two days ago.

KAREN – The 4 GOP congressional leaders voting for BO are mentioned in the Washington Post Op-Ed piece by Krauthammer today. Sorry. Don’t have the link handy, but it’s been posted a few times on this thread.

The quality of life in America has been steadily shrinking for decades. I have a dilemna~~~I do not wnat to live anymore if Obama becomes POTUS
————————————–
Okay, so you have three choices:
-Seek therapy
-Leave the US, or
-Kill yourself.
or
Go to therapy, if that doenst work, leave the country, if that doesnt work, kill yourself.

Sorry to sound so cold and direct but you’ve talked about suicide for weeks now, and I resent it because you’re laying that heavy serious trip on people who aren’t skilled enough to help you in a venue that isn’t suited or intended to seal with suicidal leanings.
So, take responsibility for yourself and stop laying that trip on us. We can’t help you in that area.
Good luck.

This is really getting scary. Republicans Congress people are jumping ship and endorsing Obama. THEY know this potentailly means they will have NO power in Congress if DEms run everything. Something is SOOOO fishy. I would give anything to know what they were being offered or how they were being coerced or threatened. I am guessing it is a different way to get earmarks in. If you endorse nobo, we will give you a gajillion dollars for your state.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It does not matter to me, I am for voting out ALL incumbents anyway. length of time spent in congress completely corrupts most of them. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. But I would recommend punching tickets very carefully, do you have links to this data?

#704 VAKatforPalin on 10.24.08 at 7:28 pm

Tom Ridge article and he was on Chris Matthews when he said it….

“Yup, he said it.

Former Pennsylvania governor and homeland security secretary Tom Ridge said today that John McCain can’t become president without carrying Pennsylvania and that the race would be different if McCain had chosen him as his running mate, instead of Sarah Palin.

When asked if he should have been chosen, Ridge told reporters in the Keystone State, as reported in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: “I think we’d be foolish not to admit it publicly.”

Ridge, the campaign’s national co-chairman, said McCain “had several good choices and I was one of them.”

But he still defended Palin, calling her a “typical, bold McCain-like choice.” There’s the perception she was perhaps a bad choice for McCain because “she’s been hammered by the pundits,” Ridge continued.

“Sarah Palin is the best choice for the ticket overall,” countered McCain adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin said today. “I hope we take Pennsylvania handily and I hope Governor Ridge helps us in that.”

Ridge told MSNBC’s Chris Matthews last night that Palin will make more appearances in his state next week, and he will be campaigning for McCain with her. McCain also has scheduled several campaign stops in the state early next week, including a joint appearance with Palin in Hershey on Tuesday.

Asked by Matthews if she still has “the new car smell,” apparently referencing whether she still excites crowds there, Ridge said “there a certain genuineness and authenticity” to makes the crowds go wild.”

Ridge was a popular Governor here in PA but I remember hearing one reason he wasn’t picked for VP was because he is pro-choice and McCain wanted to firm up his base.

By the way, I’ve only been a Dem or Independent, and as far back as I can remember, I’ve only voted for Dems.

I don’t know what to believe on the News this evening, everyone has a different poll – any good news???

I’m really ticked about that supposedly “attacked victim”. Man, I posted that thing all over before going to work!!

OK, what’s the GOOD NEWS??

I almost forgot to mention that I was listening to Hannity on the radio on my way home from work and a PUMA called in and spoke with Sean !!!

Her name was Lisa – from CT – and she was with the Party Unity My A$$ PUMAs and she did such a great job!!!! It was so cool. She told Sean that there are huge numbers of us out here and we are not being polled but we’re working very hard to defeat BHO. She asked to send a message out to other disenfranchised Hillary supporters – REMEMBER THE PRIMARIES! REMEMBER THE CAUCUSES! It was way cool. :D

#714 RedStateGuy on 10.24.08 at 7:38 pm

Don’t let this crap about some Republicans jumping ship get to you. As a Repub myself, I honestly don’t buy it. If some are, they were just fakes like Powell. Sounds like sour grapes from Tom Ridge. Republicans are scared to death of BO getting elected.

Rush Limbaugh has had issues with McCain in the past. But he is 100% behind McCain/Palin. Rush is the guru of conservatism.

I first heard of you all on Fox News during an interview of Geraldine Ferraro (who it seems has drunk the Kool aid). You are a strong, formidable group. Do NOT pay attention to the polls. They are not accurate! The only way they could be accurate is if they polled the same demographic of people each day, which is impossible to do.

PUMA ALERT

Four GOP Congressmen did not support BO today. According to the Charles Krauthammer article, he was talking about Colin Powell, Christopher Hitchens, Ken Adelman, and Christopher Buckley. Folks, please be careful, the current political race is full of contradictions and changes by the minute.

I am attaching the first two paragraphs of Krauthammer’s piece:

October 24, 2008
McCain for President
By Charles Krauthammer

WASHINGTON — Contrarian that I am, I’m voting for John McCain. I’m not talking about bucking the polls or the media consensus that it’s over before it’s over. I’m talking about bucking the rush of wet-fingered conservatives leaping to Barack Obama before they’re left out in the cold without a single state dinner for the next four years.

I stand athwart the rush of conservative ship-jumpers of every stripe — neo (Ken Adelman), moderate (Colin Powell), genetic/ironic (Christopher Buckley) and socialist/atheist (Christopher Hitchens) — yelling “Stop!” I shall have no part of this motley crew. I will go down with the McCain ship. I’d rather lose an election than lose my bearings.

Can anyone suggest a link/source for a brief, to-the-point article re Wade Rathke, Dale Rathke and the ACORN fraud? I need something to help create a letter to the editor for a local paper. The paper carried an editorial by Wade Rathke claiming that the voter fraud problem isn’t with ACORN, but with ‘difficult voter registration.’ I’m appalled the paper would even run his ‘guest opinion.’ Wade Rathke had to give up his role as head of the U.S. ACORN organization this past summer when it became known that his brother Dale embezzled nearly $1 million in funds. Wade Rathke now runs ACORN Intnl, which operates in Mexico, Dominican Republic, Canada, Peru, Argentina, India, Kenya, Indonesia, South Korea and other countries. (Does that frighten anyone else?) Thanks.

Poll Numbers – The race is tied

IBD/TIPP Polls were the most accurate in the 2004 election.

October 23, 2008

“McCain has cut into Obama’s lead for a second day and is now just 1.1 points behind. The spread was 3.7 Wednesday and 6.0 Tuesday. The Republican is making headway with middle-and working-class voters, and has surged 10 points in two days among those earning between $30,000 and $75,000. He has also gone from an 11-point deficit to a 9-point lead with Catholics.”

“An analysis of Final Certified Results for the 2004 election showed IBD’s polling partner, TIPP, was the most accurate pollster of the campaign season. Learn more at http://www.TIPPonline.com

Just received for the National Republican Trust…
We Raised $1 Million in Emergency Effort to Stop Obama

We can make a huge difference.

You can help us.

Message from The National Republican Trust PAC
From Scott Wheeler
Executive Director

Dear Newsmax Reader:

We did it!

Our goal two weeks ago when we decided to launch our emergency effort to stop Barack Obama was to raise $1 million online.

As of today — and with your generous help — we hit that mark!

With the incredible support, we have been bombarding Ohio and now Florida with ads attacking Obama for his radical agenda.

Polls in Ohio show big movement for John McCain and the latest Florida polls show that race is tightening there too.

You are helping to make a difference. Your donation dollars are going to buy lots of ads.

I want you to know the National Republican Trust doesn’t spend your money on fancy offices and high priced consultants.

Almost all of our net dollars raised — after marketing costs — are going directly into our ad war against Obama.

That’s just one of the reasons we have earned the praised of pro-McCain strategists. Fox News analyst Dick Morris has praised us and said we can have a huge effect on Election day.

We want to have that effect.

We want to broaden our ad campaign to three more battleground states in just days.

Our goal now is to raise another $1 million in the next 7 days.

We can do it with your help.

To help us accomplish this goal just Go Here Now!

Just Days to Election Day — Obama Can Be Stopped

We have just days to go before Election Day . . . time is running short for us to avert a major disaster for our country. That disaster’s name is President Barack Obama.

But this disaster can be averted. I’m confident about this — even though the slanted media are overstating Obama’s inevitability.

But the numbers don’t lie.

Several polls out this week show the race is so close it’s a dead heat!

Despite the full-court press to destroy McCain and Sarah Palin, Katie Couric’s antics against her, and a daily onslaught of media spin . . . McCain is still within striking distance.

The stakes have never been higher for the future of the country.

We either patriotically turn the country over to a man who has proudly served his nation in war time and peace — or we face electing a man who has a checkered past, a man who has counted domestic terrorists among his friends, and a man who spent 15 years in a church where his pastor regularly damned and condemned the United States.

Barack Obama is not simply a risky choice as our next president — He is a dangerous one.

This is why I have taken the helm here at the National Republican Trust Political Action Committee.

Here at the National Republican Trust, we understand our mission. It’s simple. It will also drive the left-wing media nuts.

Here’s the plan: We will tell the American people the truth about Barack Obama!

Every time John McCain or Sarah Palin tries to tell the truth about Obama, they are painted as mean-spirited and negative.

We here at the National Republican Trust can do the job McCain and Palin can’t.

But we need your help. Time is urgent — it’s crunch time.

You Can Help Us — Donate Today by Going Here Now

In the closing weeks of this election, Obama is trying to remake himself as a moderate to win over lower-income, white, Democratic and independent voters.

He wants to hide the facts about his record. He is the most extreme liberal ever to be nominated by a major party.

We all know his 100 percent liberal rating in Congress, his support for the TOTAL gun ban in Washington, D.C., his opposition to protecting babies born alive, and his support for tax increases.

But there is one issue almost all Americans agree on: Illegal aliens should not be given free Social Security benefits, Medicaid and driver’s licenses.

Worse there are 12 million illegal aliens in the U.S. and Obama wants them all to get amnesty.

This massive influx of new citizens demanding more government benefits will bankrupt the United States!

We need to inform millions of Americans about this man and his risky judgment.

We are already airing our new TV ads exposing Obama’s support for Social Security, driver’s licenses and free benefits for for illegals.

But we need your help. We’re already finalizing our ad budget in key swing states. The more you can donate to us today, the more we can spend in the coming days.

And don’t forget, you can donate a maximum of $5,000. Your spouse can also make a $5,000 donation.

With $5,000 we can saturate a whole city/market in a key swing state for one whole night.

But even $1,000 helps us. With $1,000 we can run 10 TV ads in a key market.

Whatever you can give, $500, $250 or any amount, can make a huge difference.

We at the National Republican Trust PAC appreciate your support and love of our country.

We will not fail you. Too much is at stake.

Help Expose Obama’s Radical Plan — Go Here Now

Thank you again for making our effort possible.

Yours for America,

Scott Wheeler
Executive Director

P.S. The latest press reports indicate that if McCain were to hold Ohio and Florida, and win just Virginia or Pennsylvania, he will defeat Barack Obama. This isn’t a dream — it can happen. We need your help, please Donate Here Now or call our special toll free donation line at 1-866-957-1467

as WE do not have a land line phone. We use cellular as

This was posted on Confluence…

Why do you think that the presidential candidates are always holding events here? Anyway – point is: FLORIDA will not go to the FL-primary and convention vote hoarder Barack Obama – the PUMA vote is in EFFECT. I’ve waited to see the SUSA polls for today, but the latest numbers for SUSA says the following for Florida:

52% of Hispanics are voting McCain
22% of African-Americans are voting McCain (WOW!)
13% of Liberals are voting McCain
39% of Moderates are voting McCain
34% of Pro-Choice voters are voting McCain
53% of Central Florida is voting McCain
18% of registered Democrats are voting McCain
44% of Independents are voting McCain
39% of non-Religious people are voting McCain.

The Florida Panther
PUMA is in definitely in effect. Normally, the above mentioned demographic groups would be skewed towards the Democratic side. Despite that, and as we’ve seen in previous elections, even a 1% difference means a LOT in Florida – Mel Martínez won his senate seat against the great Betty Castor by less than 100 votes. Too close to call and EVERY VOTE has to be counted and verified.
