People keep believing the same stories for another 8 years so we can really jump in the sewer.

If Obama wanted to emulate McCain''s attack ads, we would hear robocalls in the Heartland informing America''s patriots that McCain:

a) was in the pocket of former Lincoln Savings & Loan president and convicted criminal Charles Keating;

b) was buddies with fellow convicted criminal Republicans Ted Stevens, Tom Delay, Scooter Libby, Bob Allen, Trent Lott, Jack Abramoff, Don Young, Larry Craig, Randy %u201CDuke%u201D Cunningham, Tom Feeney, Alberto Gonzoles, Bob Ney, Rick Renzi, Richard Curtis, Steven Griles, Mark Foley...etc;

c) accepted political donations from the Watergate convicted criminal G. Gordon Liddy;

d) picked a runningmate mired in scandal (Troopergate) and has acted "unethical" according to her own people - - and doctored expense reports to bilk her taxpayers;

e) gave up information to his communist captors in North Vietnam, whereas other American prisoners did NOT;

McCain has a lot to answer for. You can%u2019t call yourself a patriot while voting for criminals.

How can McSame break from George Bush on economics?

He just said yesterday that they both share the same philosophy.

We can''t afford more of the McSame...period.

[walt1944-2009]

John McBush McCain has "pledged" to break with the Great Emperor Bush II on the "Ferengi" economics which the Great Emperor has been pushing for the past 8 years.

McBush is deciding to break with the Great Emperor Bush only 8 days before the election which the polls are saying he may lose BIG TIME anyway!

Why McBush didn''t decide to break with the Great Emperor Bush 8 MONTHS ago, is a puzzle, but we are talking McBush here, not someone in complete possession of his faculties. I guess he was too tied up with trying to remember how many homes he had!

SIG HEIL, NOBODY LOVES ME!!!, BUSH!!!
sig heil, NOBODY LOVES ME EITHER!!!, McBush!!!
sig heil, NEIMAN-MARCUS LOVES ME!!!, Palin!!!

How about %u201CAshley the Todd%u201D?
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 24, 2008 Latest Dirty Trick to Sway Election Backfires - Thwarted by Pittsburgh Police Dept: - McCain Worker Made Up Attack Story - PittsburghWoman To Be Charged With Making False Report After Claiming %u201CB%u201D Was Carved Into Face By %u201C6 Foot 4 Inch Tall Black Mugger%u201D .
A John McCain campaign volunteer made up a story of being robbed, pinned to the ground and having the letter %u201CB%u201D scratched on her face in a politically inspired attack, police said Friday. Ashley Todd, 20-year-old college student from College Station, Texas, admitted Friday that the story was false, police said.
Maurita Bryant, the assistant chief of the police department%u2019s investigations division, said Todd is being charged with making a false police report.
Todd worked in New York for the College Republican National Committee before moving two weeks ago to Pennsylvania, where her duties included recruiting college students, the committee%u2019s executive director, Ethan Eilon, has said. Eilon declined to comment on the investigation Friday or to help The Associated Press contact Todd.
This story reflects desperation, and shows the level at least this McCain campaign worker, (rogue, I would assume and hope!), was willing to sink to in the final pre-election push!!!

In the last two Bush elections, Big Oil, Big Pharma, and Big Tobacco bankrolled Bush to the hilt. No complaints then from Republicans, as a small oligarchy of corporations was buying the US Presidency away from 300 million Americans!

We didn''t donate enough to Gore''s & Kerry''s campaigns to help them defeat the Republican sleaze machine. They lost, and we, the people, lost big time - Republican-made disasters just keep on breaking down on us every day!

But we learned from that experience - today, more than 3 million citizens have donated between $5 and $100 to the Obama campaign.

By the sheer additive power of this huge public response, we have enabled Obama/Biden to wage this campaign, and to beat the sleaze machine of McCain/Palin/Rove & Fox News.

I am proud to be one of those contributors!

We, the American people, want and desperately need integrity back in our politics, and in our economy, and yes, we%u2019ve been digging deep into our pockets to help Obama & Biden achieve this goal!

We now have the great democratic privilege to vote, and to put an end to this sickening era. The politics of ploys, stunts, slime, sleazy robocalls, and culture wars, and Rupert Murdoch%u2019s Fox News, will be defeated in a landslide victory!

Spread the Wealth? Sarah Palin, now worth $1.2 Million, created a new Republican %u201Cno-tax but spend & spread the wealth%u201D model:
no taxes in Alaska (no sales tax, no income tax),hundreds of millions in "socialist welfare" (including thousand dollar checks to all),
including the %u201CBridge to Nowhere%u201D (flip-flopping for it before she was against it!),
even hiring a D.C. lobbying firm to get millions while small-town mayor of Wasilla (pop. 7,000!),
paying for this %u201Cspreadin of the wealth" by boondoggling taxpayers from the %u201Cother 49%u201D for hundreds of millions (%u201CI spend, you pay!%u201D)
and slyly covering her trail by babbling on about %u201Cgovernment get out of my way%u201D in the debate with Biden!

Sarah got creative with her wardrobe, too, spendin lavishly on herself:
$4,716.49 on hair and makeup just through September,
$22,800.00 on makeup Oct. 1-15,
$5,102.71 at Bloomingdale%u2019s New York,
$9,447.71 at Macy%u2019s in Minn.,
$49,425.74 at Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and NY
$75,062.63 in a whopping%u2019spendin spree at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis (doggone it, she%u2019s goin upscale on us real fast!).

Then there%u2019s $21,012. for her three daughters%u2019 64 one-way and 12 round-trip commercial flights (paid by the state of Alaska, admirably provin Palin%u2019s credentials as an equal-opportunity biller)!

Republicans used to belittle former Sen. John Edwards%u2019 $400 haircut, but compared to Palin, that%u2019s chump change!
