It will be a landslide for both parties%u2026 Obama wins popular vote with huge margins in NY, CA, IL%u2026 McCain wins electoral vote keeping almost all red states except NM and IA, but adding PA%u2026 With all the info about obama that the msm has been suppressing for so long finally coming out, it%u2019s amazing how many great ads could be made to coal states, to jewish and christian zionists, to free market capitalists, to defenders of the constitution %u2026oh and palin is cleared%u2026 Don%u2019t you kind of wish the MSM had properly vetted their candidate before anointing him? I was on Hugh Hewitt discussing my phone call with Obama%u2019s buddy Rashid Khalidi the other day%u2026
For more on my phone call and more on why and how there will be a landslide for both candidates go to my blog%u2026

Oh for Pete''s sake.

Do you REALLY think that by ANY stretch of the imagination the DNC would POSSIBLY let someone who could not legally be president run for president? Give me a break. They are not that stupid.

Besides that, NO MATTER WHERE OBAMA WAS BORN, if one of his parents was a US citizen, he would have had the option to US citizenship.

This whole thing has been debunked so many times. Please use your brains, people. Americans are smarter than this. Show the world we are not stupid by not posting up stupid ***.

swensbckcuf: WHAT A MESSAGE THIS IS SENDING THE YOUTH OF AMERICA.. YOU CAN SMOKE CRACK AND BECOME THE PRESIDENT..

SO THE LIBS HAVE TAUGHT OUR KIDS TWO THINGS RECENTLY. ORAL $EX AND DOING DRUGS IS OK..

so instead our children should all just abstain from *** and wind up pregnant teenagers anyway? I''m supposed to vote for someone who says "Abstinence is the way, ummm, except for MY kid"

Becky, I don;t want you thinking I am picking fights with you, but as the only sane McCain poster on here you are the only one I have to debate with :). Your assertion about our low unemployment rate though is just not true. While all cpountries fudge with their unemployment rates, there is a school of thought that the US is the most egregious in understating our unemployment. even with that, most accounts rank anywhere between 40 and 50 other countries as having lower unemployment, including systems as diverse as the United Kingdom, Cuba, south AND north korea, Switzerland, etc.

joezap5, Oil prices never make sense...but don''t overlook the fact that Sarah Palin hasn''t been a friend to big oil companies in Alaska. Most liberals write her off completely as a stupid woman, but there is a reason she''s the most popular governor in America and it has a lot to do with taxing big oil companies in Alaska.

I know this is going to set liberals off, but McCain is friendly to big corporations because they pay taxes and because they employ Americans. They are not inherently evil. Our low unemployment rate and the reason people can start businesses in America and the reason immigrants flock to America is because of the opportunity here. If we take that opportunity for granted and assume that it will always be here regardless of our policies, we are in for a rude awakening.

I agree with your assessment. I have expressed my outrage by voting for Obama and his plans to invest in alternative enrgy. I have also swapped vehicles doubling my gas mileage, with the pledge that I will never buy another gasoline powered car or truck. If the automakers ever want to sell me another vehicle, they will provide an alternative.

Regardless of which candidate becomes president, it is a sad day in America. What a mess!

Work4justice: And, I''ll say the same thing to you as I did to Obama_Dkhed: don''''t read my post as being in support of Obama. I am supporting neither major candidate. I simply believe in truth and justice and my responsibility to clear things up when misinformation or misunderstands skews the way things look.

You seem very thoughtful. Truthfully, what bothers me the most in this election is the incredible number of donations that have come in under $200 for Obama. I work in fundraising. It just doesn''t make sense. The success of campaigns depends completely on big donors. Folks come in and want to create a fund saying "if only everyone gives $20, we''ll get there." It doesn''t work that way. What I''m afraid of is that foreigners have been giving $200 multiple times in someone else''s name on a prepaid credit card, and there is nothing to stop them. I have nothing against foreigners...they just shouldn''t have financial sway in our election. It doesn''t make any sense that this much has been raised in small donations. And it doesn''t seem to bother anyone.

It''s curious. I searched for "Ten questions for the candidates" and found nothing on your site. This reflects the blinders that keep the media focused so thoroughly on the horse race, without at least an equal focus on the issues. Imagine how helpful it would have been to frame the questions that needed to be addressed by the candidates at the beginning of the race. Perhaps we would have had a more useful discussion.

[work4justice]

You''re right, McCain helped K-B go down, and his subsequent support for it was politically motivated. I do think that''s gross, but either way, it is what it is.

And, I''ll say the same thing to you as I did to Obama_Dkhed: don''t read my post as being in support of Obama. I am supporting neither major candidate. I simply believe in truth and justice and my responsibility to clear things up when misinformation or misunderstands skews the way things look.

It looks to me like Obama is in, so I hope you''''re right and that nirvana is coming. I just don''''t think so.

It sounds like you are willing to give whoever is elected the benefit of the doubt until they prove otherwise, and for that I commend you. We are all Americans and out country is in very bad shape right now. We need solutions and we need them fast, and they will only come through unity.

What did Carter do? When he left office unemployment was double digit and inflation was double digit also. What did we end up with 20 years of republican rule so if we have to sacrifice 4 years for people to realize the left couldn''''t run a lemonaid stand then so be it.

Posted by McCain08NC

What 20 years, Try 12 years and then 8 years of Clinton who''s administration is considered the best years in the last 16 years.

Bush jr. will go down in history as a bad start to the Third Millinioum.

When Obama has finished his eight years in office Joe Biden''s campaign slogan will be: "Don''t want to return to the Bush Years? Vote for Biden".

I predict that the Democrats will be effectivly using Bush''s record to their advantage for as long as the Republicans used Carter''s Record.

Bush made Carter look good.

from Work4Justice:
There was a time when the vast majority of the elderly were the severely impoverished and lived in closets and ate dog food. There was time when we sent children with disabilities or birth defects (isn''''t that one of the pillars of the McCain/Palin camp?) off to institutions instead of finding research-based, effective ways to educate and incorporate them into society.

I guess I''m naive, but I am not aware of the historical mass dog food eating of which you speak. I really can''t believe it was a vast majority of the elderly, as you claim.

I am not against social programs. Those instituitions for the disabled of which you speak still exist; in fact there are 6 in my state today and in my opinion the need for them is terrible. The community supports are typically private providers, and that is why they work better. I am against government waste and corruption. I wish McCain supported the Community Choice Act, and I suspect that he will come around if restrictions to it are made. He didn''t support the Kennedy Brownback bill until Sarah Palin joined his ticket. He co-sponsored it and it passed soon after. You may not like the timing, but that is what happened. I hope that if McCain gets in office, K-B is an omen for things to come. It looks to me like Obama is in, so I hope you''re right and that nirvana is coming. I just don''t think so.

And, given the fact your messiah tells us in his own book how he befriended only Marxist professors.

Most anyone with two cents worth of gray matter between their ears can pretty much see that being a socialist is not what your boy seeks to be.

Here is the actual quote, which you probably did not bother to read.
Actual quote from "Dreams from My Father" [pg. 100-101]: To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets. We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets. At night, in the dorms, we discussed necolonialism, Franz Fanon, Eurocentrism, and patriarchy. When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake, we were resisting bourgeois society''s stifling constraints. We weren''t indifferent or careless or insecure. We were alienated. But this strategy alone couldn''t provide the distance I wanted, from Joyce or my past. After all, there were thousands of so-called campus radicals, most of them white and tenured and happily tolerated. No, it remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.

don''t waste your breath justice. Pay no attention to the 10 year old with the potty mouth and the SN he thinks is really clever.

[work4justice]

Woah woah woah, wait a second before you go called Sen. Obama "my" boy or "my" messiah. Read my previous comments. I was just chewing out CBS for not covering the other 4 candidates running national campaigns for president.

I am an independent and Obama is NOT "my" boy. I just believe in truth and justice.

great post. In fact, our country is based on democratic principles, but is not a true democratic state. Oue economy and business practices are based on capitalist principles, but we are not a true free market capitalist society. social Security, until we started raiding its funds for other purposes, was the most succesful socialist program in history. The graduated income tax has some socialist theor behind it, but Socialism works to restrain the individual from earning over a certain amount of money. Tax increases and reductions do nothing to restrict the earning potential of anyone; you can still make as much money as you want.

What ahs made our country so strong is we have taken the best of many forms of government (which in their purest forms, never work) and molded them into a workable model. The policies of the last 8 years have sought to tear that model down and morph them into a system that works only for the elite.

ohhhhh... your comments are so insulting and scary. they hurt my feelings and scare me. a 10 year old poster with a potty mouth. I hope your parents find out and punish you for it.

I fact, people like you are one of the reasons Obama looks like he will win in a landslide. Keep up the good work!
