Comments on: Starting Gate: How Bad Could It Be For GOP?

[thibbye]

NBC''s decision to put Palin on so close to the election should show the fascists who actually controls the media. It''s a blatant move to try to prop up their guy. The "liberal" media is supporting Obama? What a joke.

[maggietexas4]

In my neighborhood, the people who are mean spirited are voting McCain. The people who I see living true Christian lives are voting Obama. Bush fooled a lot of Christians and some of them just can''t admit they were wrong and fell for a lie that has come close to destroying this country. McCain has hired the same Bush campaign workers and he is trying to lie his way into office like Bush did. It won''t work this time. And Palin!!!! Palin is a joke. . . . merely the product of a PR firm. Her big crowds aren''t all supporters. Remember. . .train wrecks draw big crowds too. I had little respect for her but when she failed to reprimand her audience for yelling "kill him," I lost ALL respect. She is dangerous and unstable like McCain and they are certainly not acting "Christian."

You are right on the mark with this post! These people have used Religion like a battering ram to gain power in the political arena. The problem they will find is that when you are IN the arena and you''re Party gets voted out, you go with it.

Republicanism - deregulation, corruption and cronism, no-bid billion dollar contracts to friends, use and condoning the use of torture, preminent wars with no end, lack of oversight everywhere, zero accountability in money spent on wars and related contracts, imperialistic powers self-granted to the President and VP, grandizement in changing the law to suit whatever they want when they want with no Congressional vote or approval, politizing all the Federal courts with party loyalists, controlling the media and using the media for propaganda (FOX), using 9/11 as reason to spy On Americans on their phone calls and internet messages without FISA approval, changing the constitution to wipe out habeus corpus, ousting a covert CIA agent out of revenge for telling the truth, watching thousands of scared people sit in filth and sqwalor in the stadium in new Orleans for three days before acting (outrageous), ignorning our infrstructure because we had to pay the industrial war complex first, creating their own intel and or cherry picking intel, hosting closed door engery summits, having no regard for the law and ignorning subpoenas, insisting on a democracy with no transparency - Let''s put this Republicanism on the old barbeque until it is burnt to the crisp. Good riddence!

Dr. Wheeler YOU are an idiot

[roseb6889]

Obama is not the one inciting hatred and terrorism! Who is %u2013 McCain and Palin! I%u2019m ashamed that the GOP has come down to being a bunch of bigoted hate mongers, you should all be ashamed.

[realsolutions]

Thank God that the old-time republican philosophy is finally withering away. It is finally a turning point in the course of this great country. Finally, people have realized that the old-time views don''t work and that it''s time to try something new. Finally, this country will have a chance to try new methodologies and leave the same-old useless and failed methodologies of the republicans behind. Go Obama!

[texbestest]

I am a redneck for Senator Obama and Senator Biden. Senator McCain may have more experience than Senator Obama, but his judgement in how to select a running mate and run a campaign suggets Senator Obama has better judgement.

[dagrandma]

misha128: Thanks for posting all of the stories on how fellow Republicans are distancing themselves from John McLame. Isn''t it odd that they are all bailing in droves from the campaign of John McCain, the supposed war hero? And yet no one''s bailing from the campaign of Barack Obama the supposed not-born-in-America-terrorist-Muslim? Gobama!

[willcaine]

All that stuff about government is the problem not the solution, and government regulation stifles free enterprise: people may buy that when times are good, but when hard times arrive, they scuttle back to the government''s umbrella.

[misha128-2009]

I appears there are some Republicans that recognize bad tactics when they see them. ====

[misha128-2009]

And even one more ---

John Weaver, John McCain''s former top strategist, says the Republican candidate is making both a moral and a a tactical mistake by letting abusive hecklers have free rein at rallies:

"People need to understand, for moral reasons and the protection of our civil society, the differences with Senator Obama are ideological, based on clear differences on policy and a lack of experience compared to Senator McCain," Weaver said. "And from a purely practical political vantage point, please find me a swing voter, an undecided independent, or a torn female voter that finds an angry mob mentality attractive."

[misha128-2009]

And another Republican ---

From a Norm Coleman, incumbent candidate for U.S. Senate in Minnesota, press release:

%u201CAs of today I am suspending all negative campaign ads and am calling on those who support me to do the same,%u201D Coleman said.

[misha128-2009]

Another Republican ----

Former Republican Governor of Michigan William Milliken tells the Grand Rapids Press that he''s "disappointed" in John McCain and the campaign he is running:

He endorsed John McCain in the presidential primary, but now former Republican Gov. William Milliken is expressing doubts about his party''s nominee.

"He is not the McCain I endorsed," said Milliken, reached at his Traverse City home Thursday. "He keeps saying, ''Who is Barack Obama?'' I would ask the question, ''Who is John McCain?'' because his campaign has become rather disappointing to me.

"I''m disappointed in the tenor and the personal attacks on the part of the McCain campaign, when he ought to be talking about the issues."

[misha128-2009]

Republicans sound off --

Rep. LaHood, who has represented Illinois'' 18th district for seven terms and is retiring in January, told WBBM Radio that Palin should control the racially-charged heckling at her rallies:

WOW! We can all tell you''re a republican just by your nastiness! Your mother must be so proud.

By the way, I did look it up and found that they are aquainted but do not have "deep roots". So again, I ask that you produce your proof for your "deep roots" comment or stop spreading lies!

[skip2171]

pmsnbc2: "...nobama sat in a chuerch for 20 years listening to his MENTOR spew ani-American racist hatred..."

Just like McCain/Palin and you republicans are doing now!

[mattcat25]

Is John McCain and Sahara Palin running for an office to administrate our government?
Or, are they running for hall monitor of Barack Obama???

[dagrandma]

IrishKay1: "DID YOU FORGET WHAT THE HELL YOU WERE FIGHTING FOR?"

Hell, no. I was fighting for the right NOT to vote for a pi$$ a$$ little elitist himself who, had he been Sarah''s little Joe Sixpack without powerful family ties, would have been booted out of the Navy before he even got to sniff the air of Vietnam. Oh, and also the right not to vote for his third wife too.
