Comments on: McCain And Palin Go On The Attack

GOP Nominee Asks "Who Is The Real Barack Obama?" While Palin Criticizes Democrat's Ties To Bill Ayers, Rev. Wright

[element51]

Do any of you remember during the VP debate when Palin kept chalenging Biden for " going back to the past." She did it a number of times along with a smile and a wink. Now look at what she is doing. Dragging up the past. Stuff that has been hashed over many times. So I guess it''s OK for her to talk about the past but not OK for Biden. Kind of a double standard there dontcha think.

For the man that is 87 yrs young i hope you do not need medicare or medicade because if McCain is elected you wont have it any more. but if you have plenty of money dont worry he will get that in the end.

Will Ayers was on the board of Annenberg Chicago Challenge, funded and run by Walter and Leonore Annenberg, who were good friends with Ronald and Nancy Reagan. So Pres. and Mrs. Reagan were palling around with terrorists too!

BARACK OBAMA HAS BEEN ASSASINATED!

We will be reading this headline before Nov. 4th if Sarah Palin and John McCain keep insinuating that Barack Obama is a threat to the American way of life.

During her rally in Florida, one supporter yelled "kill him" and during McCain''s rally, another supporter called him a "terrorist".

The McCain/Palin campaign is heading down a dangerous path, especially now that so much is as stake. Lee Oswald and James Earl Ray were "Joe Six-Pack(s)".

[gwjackie]

I think John and Srah are sick people.

[andor3]

what an ugly way to lose McCain has chosen. Now he has Ms. Palin telling lies, apparently so if they backfire he can deny them and her.

According to CNN: Verdict: False. There is no indication that Ayers and Obama are now "palling around," or that they have had an ongoing relationship in the past three years. Also, there is nothing to suggest that Ayers is now involved in terrorist activity or that other Obama associates are.

On the otherhand, Palin is actually married to a documented secessionist, Todd Palin, who is a former member of the Alaska Independence Party. He was comfortable belonging to and being associated with a political party whose founder seemed to delight in denouncing the principles that hold our union together. Talk about consorting with people who hate America, Palin is married to one.

I see that Palin motivated a racist crowd to shout kill Obama. And her response? Hahahahahahah! She must be pleased with herself.

[findingtess]

And while I am still thinking about it, McCain took an oath in front of God and family to honor and remain loyal to his wife...much like he would have to do if he was inaugurated...how could we compare his disregard for those vows to the person he chose to live his wife with under God when it so pleases him to how he would act as the leader of the country he has chosen to represent? Hmmmmm.....there is more than one kind of terrorist....

So who is the real Sarah Palin, as she so often likes to ask about Obama? She kept intimate company with the radical organization AKIP for 15 years. The founder calls Palin a close friend whom he has consulted on personal and political issues, and with whom he has visted many times at her home. Hmmm.Normally, a VP candidate is not the one in charge of their running mate%u2019s campaign, but McCain has seen fit to stop campaigning on the weekends and send Palin to do his swiftboating for him and has chosen to ignore constituents in MI and VA for more beneficial states and disregarding talking with them about their issues. But that is a McCainism, isn''t it really? Perhaps we should we ask his ex-wife to shed some light on McCain''s meaning of loyalty. But, hey, John,guess what?We are smarter than that. We can tell who really cares about what we are struggling through(oh, yes,I forgot,you don%u2019t know how many homes you own much less know how hard it is to explain to your children or the elderly parent you are caring for, that you need to move because the banks that have filled John McCain%u2019s pockets for so many years have gone under or because you can%u2019t afford the gas to get to work and get what%u2018s left of wages(Thanks, John for supporting GW for all those years)from our hard work all week. We are smarter than you think we are and know what is important to us. You Betcha!! Obama cares...

Senator McCain is asking who is the real Barack Obama. That is a difficult question to answer because none of us has known Obama for 36 years. However, we have known Senator McCain for nearly three decades. We now know very well who is the
real John McCain. The real John McCain is no different from George W Bush. George Bush took an economy that was at its bottom in 2001. It is easier to rise from a bottom. But Bush managed to create a bottom that is worse than the bottom that he inherited. So far McCain and Palin have not cited one thing that they will do different from George Bush. With this kind of mavericks on sale, we will rather take the conformists. Obama has many unknowns, but McCain''s knowns trouble me more.

ObEight.

Here we go! When you don''t have anything worth while to say, you pull something out of your ***!! The old man and the airhead don''t have anything we want to hear, so he starts going negative. That is the way of the Old Grand Party. So much for being a maverick!

[spaan2]

It is quite interesting to note how desperate both McCain and Palin are trying to improve their image to voters of USA. They should rather focus on the current unemployment issues facing the average American family and come up with convincing concrete proposals how they would strive to improve the current downturn in the economy. This would assist in improving the polls of the republican candidates and provide confidence in their ability to the whole nation

[gh1418]

Talk about desperate. This is a man who says he is honest and a straight talker who in Arpil of this year, stated he would condemn any such attacks during the general election even against his own party and now we are here. Missing the true politics because he is in panic mode! This is really pathetic and for you all who vote for him, you are just as twisted as he is.

Little miss piggy, sarah piglin.

(CBS/ AP) Pope Benedict XVI says the global financial crisis shows the futility of money and ambition.

"He who builds only on visible and tangible things like success, career and money builds the house of his life on sand," the pontiff says.

"We are now seeing, in the collapse of major banks, that money vanishes, it is nothing," the pope adds.

The pontiff was speaking Monday as he opened the works of a meeting of 253 bishops at the Vatican.

Benedict says "the only solid reality is the word of God."

CBS News has gone ahead and deleted / censored comments on that article. Why CBS?

[gh1418]

I got news for McBush fans! If you think I''m going to let him and ******* Palin run this country you have another thing coming

[pughenry3]

Vote John McCain!!!!!

Ohio is proud of John Glenn and John McCain both fighter pilots who served their country when their country was at war.

Barack Obama is dumb as a doorknob to raise Keating 5 and criticize John Glenn. You just put Ohio in the Red state column.

The people of Ohio are proud of John Glenn, a former Marine Corp fighter pilot during World War II. John Glenn was awarded the Congressman Medal of Honor and flew aboard the space shuttle at the age of 77.

The Barack Obama campaign should stop criticizing an 87 year old war hero John Glenn by raising the Keating 5 scandal that happened over twenty years ago. For two people who have no military service between them and have never worn the uniform, Barack Obama and Joe Biden have a lot of gaul to obliquely criticize an 87 year old war hero and first man in space John Glenn. It is also pretty stupid to criticize an Ohio native son when Ohio is in play during this election.

Vote for John McCain, he respects veterans especially 87 year old fellow fighter pilots.

Funny how McCain is always involved with some sort of corruption that ultimately benefits the wealthy. That''s the way it is with republicans...they funnel wealth away from the poor and middle class to the rich. Things are going to get a lot worse with theis country''s economy - I don''t think that we can afford to elect another wealthy elite guy like McCain. He''s not going to change his ways, he''ll just continue the policies of bush/cheney and continue to take any money that the middle class has left.
