John McCain and Sarah Palin - stick with the issues!!!

How on earth can you two pursuade any voter to vote for you when you show the country your worst side? Is this how problems get solved?? Is this how challenges get faced?? Is this how budgets become balanced? Is this how social problems get resolved??

What kind of voters are you trying to attract?

Obama%u2019s campaign said that Obama did not know who Ayers was. They both lived in the same neighborhood in Chicago and he didn%u2019t know? How can anyone believe that he wasn%u2019t told by someone who Ayers was. I also find it hard to believe that someone who is supposed to be so educated never heard of Ayers. That%u2019s like saying someone who lives in California doesn%u2019t know anything about OJ Simpson. It amazes me how Obama%u2019s supporters can call McCain and Palin liars and not see the lies in Obama.

It''s a shame that grown people who want to run our county resort to this kind of behavior - we are a county in a crisis. We should be hearing what they intend to do about that. As for the Ayers issue, we''ve been there done that in the Primary and apparently people have moved on according to the polls, so why don%u2019t you and talk about something that matters, gee I don%u2019t know maybe the economy!!!!!!!!!!

There are just way too many sordid individuals connected to Senator Obama. The facts are that:"[Ayers participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, the United States Capitol building in 1971, and The Pentagon in 1972]"

Some additional historical information from Wikipedia on William Ayers: %u201C[In 1970 Ayers was called a national leader of the Weatherman organization and one of the chief theoreticians claiming revolutionary war against the United States government and the capit*list system should begin immediately.

Their founding document called for the establishment of a %u2018wh*te fighting force%u2019 to be allied with the %u2018Bl*ck Liberation Movement%u2019 and other %u2018anti-colonial%u2019 movements to achieve %u2018the destruction of US imper*alism and the achievement of a classless world: world comm*nism.%u2019

It appears that for Senator Obama, the Obama Campaign and the Leadership of the DNC %u2013 the Means Totally Justifies the Ends. Just like it did for William Ayers decades ago when he decided to become a Terrorist and for Senator Obama when he decided it was politically expedient to make use of and associate with Ayers!

McCain stepped in to use official clout to facilitate sale of land that Diamond had wanted.

CRAIG BERKMAN borrowed $5 million from the investors whose funds
he controlled without their permission, and even failed to tell "most" of

This is so low. What are they even trying to imply? He has served on community service boards with Ayers who is now and has been for a long time a distinguished professor. Do they mean to say that if Obama is elected he will use his power to commune with terrorists? It is so ridiculous and low. There is no politician who has not had some ''associations'' with people of ill repute. McCain certainly included. The question is - what was the association, was there impropriety? and how will that effect them as president. This has long ago been answered regarding Ayers. It is sad to see someone tout themselves as an honorable war hero and run such a dishonorable campaign. As for Sarah Palin, she doesn''t know what''s going on. She is just a tool and too ignorant to know it.

"The Obama team%u2019s effort to cover up Barack%u2019s ties to Ayers included an organized campaign to intimidate a Chicago radio station (WGN) that planned to interview Stanley Kurtz

Ayers does live in Barack%u2019s neighborhood (or vice versa). In fact, Barack and Bill currently live about two blocks apart on Greenwood Avenue and 50th Street. And before Barack%u2019s %u201Cboneheaded%u201D deal with convicted felon Rezko to purchase the Greenwood mansion, Obama lived about 1-1/4 miles from Bill. But the dismissive %u201Cjust a guy who lives in my neighborhood%u201D is a lie because Ayers was not just some fellow Barack bumped into at the corner market. They have a relationship that goes back nearly 20 years. Ayers was Barack%u2019s friend, employer, colleague, and political supporter."


It is entirely fair to judge Barack by the people he surrounds himself with. "

jtr, what a cheap shot. McCain is a war hero who was shot down over a target - he didn''t "crash" his plane due to personal ineptitude.

When you sink so low as to attack a man who fought for his country... when you attack him for being shot down and becoming a POW... when you attack him for being a true American hero and serving his country...

I see where you are coming from.

You don''t love America, do you?? Or else where did that comment come from???

McCain positioned himself as a military expert who knew foreign affairs inside out - except that it wasn%u2019t true. McCain%u2019s only military experience was graduating from Annapolis in the bottom 1% of his class, then crashing 5 planes due his disregard of learning how to fly. He spent most of his time in the military as a POW after, again, crashing a plane. Fellow POW%u2019s who were captives with McCain in Hanoi say his nickname was %u201Csongbird%u201D because he talked so much to his captors, and that McCain was given special treatment because his father was a four star admiral.

rjs - Oh, I see... women are just stupid just because they are women, huh??

Governor Palin ran the state of Alaska and singlehandedly cleaned up abuse and forced oil companies to break their monopoly and got Alaska back on the side of the people as GOVERNOR.

She''s not incapable of an independent thought just because she is a woman.

She''s proven that by her experience. She still doesn''t agree with McCain on a number of issues.

She''s a pitbull - and just what we need. She really CARES about Main Street.

Independent... how ignorant are you?? This man belonged to a radical group that bombed the US Capitol and the Pentagon.

He personally ADVOCATED for children to kill their parents.

A "distinguished" man??

Really?? His wife revelled in the murders of Charles Manson and said, "They killed those pigs and then stuck a fork in them. Wild!!"

"Distinguished"???

The Ayers were seeking to overthrow the government to create a radical left communist state.

That''s what I''m concerned about. Obama''s association goes back 20 years ago with them a lot closer than what he says. (He lies.)

Bernardine still says she''s a radical and Bill Ayers says he wishes he would have done more.

"Distinguished"??

Well, if you like radical left socialist communists who seek to overthrow the government, bomb US targets, advocate children killing their parents, and "cheer on" Manson - if that''s what you call "distinguished"... guess so.

But I would think you are so radical... you''re a communist who advocates violent overthrow of government and murder... if you really think that is "distinguished".

Check out the facts. Learn the truth. I did. It didn''t take long. I just read up and went outside the MSM - because they don''t report all the news or facts. They like to believe Obama''s lies... or are just stupid.

Here we''ve had this complete meltdown... and Obama is still "selling" all these "government programs" to these deluded American voters who think "government" can create wealth for THEM.

Ummmm... Main Street = Government.

If they don''t have the money - neither does government.

We need jobs, we need business to create jobs and pay better.

We need to compete better to have better jobs.

Obama is a liar. Where is the money going to come from that he says he''s going to give to Main Street??

Ummmm... duh. Main Street - the only place to get the money.... is from YOU.

You''re not working?? You don''t have jobs?? Government is... YOU.

The only people who "profit" from socialism are those who are not working. Cuz MAIN STREET is forced to pay for those people.

That''s why we had a mortgage meltdown.

Anyone who thinks these are Palin''s words or thoughts is out of touch with reality. These are our OLD friend John McCain in full bloom!!! Anyone who has seen this man in action on the Hill knows how vengeful, mean-spirited, and untruthful he is. This lady hasn''t had an original thought since she decided what gown to wear in her pageant. As for the racist overtones of the remark, all one has to do is read some of the above comments. It''s a shame that some in this country haven''t advanced intellectually past tar and feathers.

I typoed. Obama bought his house $300,000 UNDER listing price same day Rezko bought an adjacent lot at FULL PRICE payola to anyone who doesn''t have the wool pulled over their eyes.

Dirty dealings.

JUDAS OBAMA - ANYTHING FOR MONEY AND POWER... dealings with Rezko... we''re not so blind and ignorant not to be able to see the relationship between the 2 purchases.

Rezko isn''t going to pay full price... if one of his buddies can get $300,000 knocked off a full listing price unless it''s a dirty money laundering way to throw $300,000 into Obama''s pocket net for political favors.

JUDAS OBAMA - FRIEND OF REZKO - NO HONOR AMONG THIEVES.

Wake up.... Obama is a dirty politician who would sell out AMERICA for MONEY AND POWER. HE''s proven his character... JUDAS CHARACTER.

REZKO is a convicted criminal and friend of Obama. A LOT OF MONEY changed hands between money in Obama''s hands and MONEY in Rezko''s hands... and vice versa.

OBAMA bought a house at full listing price THE SAME DAY REZKO bought an adjacent lot at FULL PRICE...

DIRTY CHICAGO DEALINGS WITH CONVICTED CRIMINALS!! We may have been born at night - but it wasn''t last nite.

Look into the truth and take the MASK OFF OBAMA!!

JUDAS - MONEY LOVING TRAITOR!!! JUDAS OBAMA - betrayed his mentor Alice Palmer for money and power - and THERE IS NO HONOR AMONG THIEVES.

NO HONOR, NO LOYALTY TO ALICE PALMER - OR JESUS CHRIST - OR ANYONE ELSE!!

JUDAS OBAMA - NO CHARACTER, NO LOYALTY, NO HONOR - NOT QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT

Bill Ayers and a Barack Obama connection.

Chicago has a tradition for bomb makers beginning with the Haymarket affair bomb that killed 7 police officers in 1886. The bomb was thrown during a May Day rally for striking workers. There is a statue in Haymarket Square marking the place of the bombings.

A Chicago native the Unabomber is now serving a life sentence at SuperMax Federal Penitentiary in Florence Colorado for killing three people with mail bombs. The Unabomber Ted Kazinski grew up in the Chicago area, graduated from Harvard University before getting his PhD in mathematics from the University of Michigan, and then taught at U.C. at Berkley. The Unabomber received his moniker by targeting universities and airlines. Ted Kazinski later targeted professors at Northwestern University in Chicago and a United Airlines President with his bomb packages.

Bill Ayers the Weatherman bomb maker is two years younger than Ted Kaczynski the Unabomber, but both have Chicago connections and both received degrees from the University of Michigan about the same time. Bill Ayers received an undergraduate degree in American studies and Ted Kazinski received his Phd in mathematics from the University of Michigan a year earlier than Bill Ayers%u2019s undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan. Bill Ayers went on to get his Masters in teaching at Columbia in 1987.

mydog... political CORRUPTION in a DIRTY Chicago politician is nothing to GLOAT OVER!! GIVE US INVESTIGATIONS OF REZKO/OBAMA!! Obama used FASCIST tactics to try to "shout down" Stanley Kurtz and the people of Missouri. Obama thinks he''s above the law and can silence those who would hold him accountable with Chicago politician dirty shameful tricks of intimidation threatening the people of Missouri if htey say he''s not a Christian. HE''S NOT A CHRISTIAN!!

He says there are "many ways" to salvation and Jesus Christ isn''t the only way. OBAMA IS A JUDAS, and he tries to use prosecutors and police to intimidate people from saying he''s not a Christian. He''s not.

And he tried to silence Stanley Kurtz. He knocked Alice Palmer - HIS MENTOR - out of a political race BY DIRTY TACTICS.

JUDAS OBAMA!! NO LOYALTY, NO CHARACTER, A TRAITOR TO HIS MENTOR!! JUDAS!!
