[bobnjersey]

["I just think it''s adding insult to injury," Raskin said of the Republican comments. "First, to create an economy that leaves out so many people and then to insult people who are trying to help." ]

and they say those on the left are the elites?

ozonmojo,

Lobbyists work for the Corporations
Community Organizers work for the Citizens

If the U.S. Government is WE THE PEOPLE, how can you compare the two????

[ozonmojo]

We all know what the community organizers are.They are part and parcel of the political machine just like the lobbyists are but at the lower level.To portray them as Mother Theresas is hardly the truth.

"If McCain can hike across the Grand Canyon, then why should he be getting disability payments from the government that are tax-exempt."

[whatithink1]

McCain = $58K a year in disability payments from the government????

[sdmv-2009]

Jesus was a community organizer.
Pontius Pilate was a governor.

[whatithink1]

Why does McCain collect Social Security Diability? Does he look disabled to you?

[red1952]

Republicans only hope is to mock and belittle. They have no answers to any issues so the divide. And those robot delegates just eat it up. Wow, they really have been brain dead for eight years. Looks like they''re hoping not to think for another four.

OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!

Fear and smear is all the GOP has. Shameful.

The GOP has been in power for 8 years, why spend so much time on Obama and none on your own accomplishments?

[shouterguy]

"Fight with me."

You got it.

Doesn''t like community organizers. Right. Because CHANGE COMES FROM THE TOP DOWN. Right, my friend?

Given the number of lobbyists, CEOs, special interests and religious right-wingers in the convention audience, I have no doubt Mr. McCain was utterly sincere in saying, "I work for you."

Change is coming, my friend. More than you counted on.

Palin''s and Giuliani''s remarks were dispicable. Shows them to be the elitists who are out of touch with people and their problems.

By the way, Giuliani is HATED by NY firefighters and cops for the way he treated them and families. And also for the way he is exploiting and profiting from 9/11. Check out this link:

As far as Sarah Palin, she...
-Believes that creationism should be taught in schools, not evolution;
-Believes that women shouldn''t have the right to choose; even in cases of rape and incest or severe medical indications;
-Believes that citizens should have the right to bear AK-47s;
-Believes only in abstinence education; despite the fact that her daughters have been having unprotected ***;
-Has only been out of the country once in her life and that was just last year;
-Was mayor of a small town with fewer than 6000 residents with a budget of less than 12 million a year and fewer than 50 city hall employees;
-Is governor of a state that is closer to Russia than to Florida;
-Was part of a group that wanted Alaska to succeed from the Union.
-Is being investigated in 2 State of Alaska firing scandals
And this woman could be our next vice president and possibly our president?!?!? Scary!!

Community organizer = liberal rabel rouser!! Let them be anger, they should find a real job and stop agitating everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

schotzy81,

Liberals are not as good with the mean-spiritedness as you guys are but if we don''t fight back with the same weapons used by you, we end up like Gore. Nice guys seem to finish last these days. Funny thing is, we turn the mirror on you, and you don''t even like it.

qatharms,

You mean people who actually working with real people in the trenches finding out what is really going on and needed by Americans doesn''t help one be a better president FOR THE PEOPLE?

[qatharms]

Nobody said that community organizers are bad. All we say is that achieving consensus that a group of jobless people should look for jobs is not the same as being the chief executive and leading an nation to prosperity and security.

[christiansin]

Wasn''t Jesus a community organizer?

[whatithink1]

""This is an election that I understand to be about the middle," Beckwith said. "People active in community life and who have aspirations for their communities - it seems to me that anyone would want to speak to those people respectfully.""


You would think. However, Palin/McCain/Guiliani are speaking to their base and their base is mean-spirited, hateful and full of spite.

[wogerwabbit]

...and now the Republicans are calling for change...after 8 years of disaster and the 8 previous years trying to destroy the Clintons and the country be damned.

[talkingham]

Wow, I''m sure this has the repugs shaking in their boots.
