McCain and Palin for President!

[Minor Axis]

well I am voting for McCain/Palin. This country needs reform and McCain will do what is necessary to put America back on the right track. I think Sarah Palin is totally awesome.

McCain and Palin as reformers? You've got to be kidding.

Lack of honor? You've got to be kidding me.

How about avoiding the knee jerk reaction and read the entire sentence.

All the McCain campaign and Republican party can say is "Obama reneged on his promise to go with public financing". Yes, Obama said he wanted to use public financing, but according to this article, when the Obama camp met with the McCain camp, there was no interest on the McCain side for a mutual agreement.

If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election."

Not so "aggressively," according to the McCain campaign, which argues that Obama did not discuss this or try to negotiate at all with the McCain campaign, despite writing that he would "aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election."

The Obama campaign disputes this. Obama campaign counsel Bob Bauer met with McCain campaign counsel Trevor Potter and, according to Obama spox Bill Burton, Potter "immediately made it clear there was no basis for further discussion," that they weren't interested in any sort of agreement. "McCain and the RNC had spent months raising and spending money for the general election, and their basic attitude was 'You'll catch up,'" Burton says, suggesting that the Republicans were also turning a blind eye to the activities of 527s.

And now they are calling Obama a socialist. If you want to look at the largest socialistic program ever, the 700 billion dollar bailout, both Obama and McCain supported it. Hmmm. And does anyone think Buffet would support Obama if he thought he was a socialist? The Republicans are desperate and such BIG LIERS.
"If you say it, the morons will believe!!"

I submitted my absentee ballad today...

I voted for mccain, but I almost voted for Obama simply because I cannot stand Palin. I also think that she is either going to be a bad mother or a bad vice president, I dont understand how she has the time to be good at both.

Apparently there is as I've been watching news coverage of people voting, but I did not know you could do that either.

Now listen, the Republican's have to decide how they are going to frame Obama instead of all this bouncing around. First he was a celebrity, then a terrorist, then a socialist, and now a communist. All of the above? They are desperately trying to make something stick!

Well shit they got to try something.

The press won't ask the questions

Celebrity ----- Yup a political rock star :nod:

Terrorist ----- No, that is stupid. Only the far right nuts say that. Just like the far left spew their crap :nod:

Socialist ------- Sure seems to fit. Cradle to Grave baby !!

Communist----- See above under Socialist

Recently out on the stump Palin accused Obama of hanging out with Rashid Khalidi a supposed spokesperson for the PLO. This assertion was greeted with extra loud enthusiastic Republican faithful "BOOs". A terrorist? A mean nasty person that patriotic Americans especially a Presidential candidate should not associate with? But what she did not tell the crowd:

YouTube - McCain Gave Rashid Khalidi Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars

And more for your reading pleasure: The Political Junkie.

McCain Funded Work Of Palestinian His Campaign Hopes To Tie To Obama

During the 1990s, while he served as chairman of the International Republican Institute (IRI), McCain distributed several grants to the Palestinian research center co-founded by Khalidi, including one worth half a million dollars.

Is Obama a Socialist?.

Socialism refers to an economic theory of social organization advocating social or collective ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.

TPJ: This means the government owns and operates every industry. Under Socialism all the profits of those industries are shared by all. The Democrats under Barack Obama simply want to return the tax balance back to what it was under Clinton. It's kind of funny that Republicans don't want to go back to the boom economy of the 90's. And didn't McCain support and vote for the $700 billion bailout that has partly socialized the banking industry? He sure did.

Have you no shame? Keep trying losers (directed at the Republican Party and I'm not talking about who loses the Presidency)...

I like Lou Dobbs

does not surprise me he would call this out.

I'm starting to wonder if in Republican faithful eyes it's possible to be an A-rab and still be a decent person?

Moron at Republican Town Hall Meeting: "Obama is an A-rab!"
McCain: "No, Obama is a decent family man and a citizen".

I'm glad McCain corrected her, and although I think it was unintentional, it all most sounds like he said you can't be an Arab and be a decent family man.

But then you have Palin who only has to mention an Arabic name, Rashid Khalidi and you have a crowd of people who most likely don't have a clue who this guy is, eager to boo. Of course they must assume that Palin is honestly portraying the situation. :smiley24:

this is one of those "tough questions" that the media refuses to ask....it's reported, all right -and that's all well and good- but nobody's addressing it as a systematic effort to pin a donkey on obama's tail....the fact that it's most apparent on the far right is not a good enough reason just to show it in passing without calling it out for the sickness it represents, imo....

it's growing toward a fanaticism that will not be silenced when the election is over....regardless of who becomes president.....and now it has a spokesman in palin :thumbdown

As Colin Powell asked "What if Obama is a Muslim?" We only vote for Christian Presidents in this country? You might remember a time when we did not vote Catholics into the Presidency either... Hopefully the country is moving in the right direction, but at times it sure does not sound like it.
