They probably will. But the Electoral College looks favorable for Obama.

McCain has to campaign with Palin to draw a crowd. She said again today that he knows how to win wars. Where would he have learned that? Certainly not from experience. He has indicated he is willing to prolong them forever.

But Obama’s running mate, Joe Biden, told a Scranton, Pa., TV station on Monday that Obama’s tax break “should go to middle class people — people making under $150,000 a year.”

“You getting an idea of what’s on their mind, huh? A little sneak peak,” McCain said, pointing to Biden’s comment. “It’s interesting how their definition of rich has a way of creeping down. At this rate, it won’t be long before Senator Obama is right back to his vote that Americans making just $42,000 a year should get a tax increase.”

Now it sounds like they are just going to keep the tax increases for themselves, just like democrats always do.

McCain and Palin say NO to spreading anything around. They say that wealth should not be spread around. Instead it should be clumped in the pockets of the wealthy because once the wealthy are wealthier then they will spread the wealth around on their on. They don’t want or need anyone else telling them how to spread wealth around and besides maybe they don’t want to spread anything around. Besides if they spread wealth around then it won’t be wealth any more now will it. It’ll just be spread. More like a cheap margarine and there are too many obese people in this country already so the last thing they need is cheap margarine. So, it’s just plain wrong to spread wealth.

You want to know why the race is tightening, other than the obvious?

The Associated Press Published: October 28, 2008

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The Virginia NAACP has sued Gov. Tim Kaine, arguing that the state failed to prepare for an unprecedented turnout of voters in next week’s presidential election. The complaint, filed late Monday in U.S. District Court in Richmond, alleges that with record increases in voter registration, the state failed to provide enough polling places. It asks the court to put the federal government in charge of the election in Virginia, to reallocate voting machines to precincts most likely to have long waiting lines and to keep polls open for an additional two hours.

Suing over ‘racism’ for an election that hasn’t even taken place yet? People are sick and damned tired of these Obamaniacs; what’s the problem? ACORN got too many newly registered deceased voters, family pets, entertainment-park celebrities, and professional athletes lined up waiting?

And you people are wondering why the race is tightening? Your absurdity and stupidity defies even the most far reaching stretches of logic. Ever heard the stort about the kid who gets caught with their hand in the cookie jar?

But, I agree that it is hard to argue that Chambliss isn’t a Marxist…

Meanwhile, Chambliss and his aides seem to be worried that Republican voters might not show up on Election Day.

“It’s so important that we have turnout,” Chambliss told about 80 Republican loyalists Friday at the courthouse in Fayette County, a GOP stronghold south of Atlanta. “The other folks are turning out — in record numbers,” he said.

In a warm-up speech for Chambliss at the Fayette County courthouse, conservative Republican Rep. Lynn Westmoreland told the crowd, “If the Democrats get to 60 in the Senate (with that uppity Obama), we’re going to be in real deep trouble.”

“Why aren’t the Republicans hearing that message?”

I have a theory. And it does not involve second gunmen on grassy knolls, Marxists or aliens and Elvis.

When the GOP finally won control of the House in 1994 they had been the minority party for forty consecutive years. FORTY YEARS!

When that finally changed, a very sad thing happened for America. Rather than put their money where their mouth was and show the nation that they were the better party which could more effectively govern, they became obsessed with retribution, revenge, pettiness and unbridled avarice.

All things non neo-con had to be purged.

But myopically they practiced their “art” using the same sleazy, corrupt methods. And took them to new heights, or should I say, depths.

Worse, rather than give a flip about what hard working, middle class Americans really wanted, which wasn’t all that much, just a fair break now and then, they put their intransigent agenda and their monied cronies first, last and always.

Sadly it took 12 years to realize for most, but not all of us Americans, that these clowns were actually worse than the awful Democrats.

In the meantime they exploded the size, cost, scope and interference of the federal government.

Not only did they turn a blind eye to the corporate criminals, swindlers and liars who plundered the American people’s money, they participated.

They executed a criminal invasion of another country that has cost us nearly 4200 American lives and untold billions of dollars.

They coddled and pandered to obvious religious frauds and charlatans simply for the votes of their lockstep, intolerant reactionaries.

They joyfully participated in the wanton defilement and destruction of this planet for nothing but money and power.

They silenced any and all voices that did not exactly match what they wanted to hear.

But worst of all, they took the enormous good will of the American people and the citizens of the world and threw it away like garbage.

So now we have a nation that trusts these “leaders” and their government as little as at any time since Richard Nixon.

And that is why they are looking at another forty years of being on the outside looking in.

And why millions of Americans, even lifelong Republicans, are not going to forget, or forgive them, anytime soon…

Poverty doesn’t discriminate between political parties.

Conservatives and Republicans rely on government programs as well. The fact is much of it is caused by illness or injury. Certainly there is a very small segment of the population that hasn’t broken the poverty cycle, but the money they receive goes directly back into the economy. Our challenge is to break that cycle.

Reagan and Bush, professed conservatives, are responsible for 90% of the national debt. Without that debt and the wasteful spending in Iraq, you wouldn’t have to have your taxes raised. That said, true patriots would pay it and be thankful they were in a position to do so. But I disagree with Obama’s tax plan. Certainly the rich can and must pay more, but so should the rest of us. We need something similar to what Clinton passed in 1993, that increases taxes and also reduces spending, to put us on a path to a balanced budget and fiscal responsibility. It has to be done carefully tho so as not to contribute to slowing the economy even further.

This is on website www.truthorfiction.com Campaign Contributions From Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac for Senator Barack Obama-Truth!

Summary of the eRumor:
An eRumor called the “Barack Obama’s Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Connection” claiming that Senator Barack Obama ranked the number two spot in campaign contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The Truth:
John Gibson of Fox News wrote an article by this title on September 16, 2008, quoting sources from the Center for Responsive Politics. In it, Gibson stated that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had used “huge lobbying budgets and political contributions to keep regulators off their backs.” According to the article, “The top three U.S. senators getting big Fannie and Freddie political bucks were Democrats and No. 2 is Sen. Barack Obama.”

The Center for Responsive Politics (CRP), according to their web site, is a “nonpartisan guide to money’s influence on U.S. elections and public policy.”

According to the report posted on the CRP web site Donations for the Illinois senator from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac report between 1989-2008 tabulated up to $126,349. The same report show John McCain contributions from the same group tabulated to $21,550.

A New York Times article dated September 9,2008 stated both candidates had ties with the lending giants but Senator Obama “is second among members of Congress in donations from the firms’ employees and political action committees.”

Joe the plumber has been very good for McCain because it put the face of a hard working white man in the minds of the majority voter. It sounds better to refer to Obama as a sociolist instead of a Arab or the N word. America is still America when it comes to race.

On Wednasday next,I’ll crawl out of bed in the morning and check the computer to see what adjustments I have to make in my life to survive the next 4 years.With McCain the adjustments will be minor.Not so with Obama.Many adjustments will be required to survive with him at the helm.I’ll have two short months to make them which is plenty of time.

Listening to you right-wing crybabies is enough to make me puke. You’re so concerned that the media hasn’t made a big deal out of Obama’s associations. I’m here to tell you that there’s not a single registered voter in this country that’s not aware of Reverend Wright or Bill Ayers or the fact that his middle name is Hussein or any of the other red herrings you’ve thrown into the debate. EARTH TO REPUBLICANS: we’ll take it into account before deciding we STILL are going to vote for the man.

How about this one, Repukes: John McCain is AN OLD, OLD MAN. He’s had cancer. He may well STILL have cancer. He refuses to divulge his medical records. He may die in office. Why hasn’t that ruthless liberal media pounded McCain on his health and age?

Get over it. Your gig is up, you know it, and you cry like the liberals you constantly disparage. Life ain’t fair…at least that’s what you told the Democrats in 2000 and 2004…right? RIGHT?????

these socialism scare tactics are just plain crap. whne did america start become country with so many scared rats? fearful of the mention of any pretend boogeyman. the fact is the only thing that will be redistributed is the top heavy wealth at the top. that’s what is killing free market capitalism. excessive greed at the top. there is a trickle down but isn’t insufficicent for people to live off of. slowly starving from not getting enough everyday. just like the long term effects of not getting enough to sustain life on a daily basis does to concentration camp prisoners. they slowly wither away. for capitalism to work it needs to be a steady flowing stream down. not a trickle, it’s not enough to keep the wheel turning. stop trying to scare other americans on ideas that not only have been proven false in these last few years, but have been proven false more than once in history. and remember everybody, that little ol’ university of georgia in athens is state created, state funded and state regulated. you know what that make uga? you got it, a socialist institution. don’t you like the dawgs? you must be a liberal or a witch or a heretic or something.

The race is tightening…because many people are about to vote against their best interests AGAIN! Questions that should be asked are this: Is it not redistribution of wealth when 3000 people are laid off and the CEO gets a mega-bonus? Is it not redistribution of wealth when the CEO makes 200 TIMES what the lowest-paid employee makes? Is it not redistribution of wealth when tax breaks are given to corporations that send their jobs offshore and unemployment rises due to this fact? Is it not redistribution of wealth when the preponderance of those with wealth pay less in taxes than those in the middle class? I thought that “for whom much is given, much is required!”

For you to whine about socialism or Marxism or whatever ism suits your slanderous bent is an indication that you would rather have your tax dollars directed to major corporations and not to your fellow Americans. Frankly, you’re too ignorant to be calling the shots, and America is sick of it.

Maybe he extend the time for a few months after birth to really see i want to keep the kid. That would be really open-minded of him. 6) he a much better color than McCain 5) people won’t think i’m intelligent, cause the liberal bloggers say only uneducated/unintelligent people could possibly vote for McCain 4) i really like socialism 3) i really like big government 2) i get to still sit around and get a bigger piece of the pie 1) Al Qaida ain’t visited us in the past seven years and I really miss them “nice and misunderstood” people and Mr. Obama will leave them alone in Iraq and that region so they can get strong again and come visit us again or may be we can have Gulf War III in a few years.

It occured to me last night that everytime i’m on any of these blogs, I hear the right-wingers say “If you don’t like America you are free to leave on whatever boat you came on. So for all you republicans who don’t like the idea of an Obama presidency”FEEL FREE TO EXIT THIS GREAT LAND AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE.” Because he will be the next COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. These idiots think that democrats are voting for Obama because we want welfare. But just like their NIT-WITTED vice-presidential pick and that guy that picked her, they don’t understand that you can’t pay a $2,600.00 a month mortgage, $455.00 to the bank for your car payment, life, health, car insurance, groceries, cable, lights, water, clothing, etc. on a welfare check. Republicans have to be the dumbest people this country has ever produced. Some are milking the welfare system, but I have been lucky to have a job all my life. And wouldn’t quit it to get a welfare check. But also look at it this way. McCain and Palin would keep paying money to rebuild the infastructure of Iraq, feed their children, educate their children, build new fire and police stations, while our government officials are closing down our stations, and laying off our police and firepersons. All while Iraq has a government surplus of BILLIONS of dollars, to spend on whatever they want. Their officials live the high life while you ‘Dummy-REPUBLICANS’ sit around broke as hll, mad because you don’t want to put a man of color in the White House. I know all of you are not racist but the majority of you are. Just so happens that i’m not running for office so I have the distinct priviledge of telling the truth without giving a sht who doesn’t like it. Obama would never say they “R” word because he believes in unity and for that I respect him, I also believe in unity but I believe I can call a person what they are and still have love in my heart for them.

There you go spouting blanket statements and slurs when you “abhor” blanket statements and slurs when they are made against your point of view. I did not vote against Obama because he is a man of color, I voted against his wish to institute government controlled healthcare, redistribution, leave Iraq prematurely so that we have to go thru another 9/11 or go back to the region again at a later date. As for racial bias occurring in the vote, that works both ways, but it is probably not as blatant as you spout off about. Lastly, sounds like this country has been pretty good to you, such that you afford a $2600/month mortgage. How are you going to make the payment when Obamanomics help redistribute wealth from your pocket to someone elses pocket?

didn’t government get a lot bigger under bush/cheney? what entitlement programs did they get rid of when they had a chance? you know when they were in control of the white house and congress. they created trickle up economics for the rich. we may be paying lower taxes but more money is leaving our pockets. most of us, regular americans are hurting financially. more capital gains taxe cuts for powerful corporations is not going to help this country. the real people republicans are mad at is themselves. but they are too afraid to admit fault because they might lose face. even if that means running america into the ground first. republicans direct your anger and frustration at the republican party. they have not been who they said they would be, they duped you and are now making you look more foolish than ever for supporting them. obama is not winning this election as much as the republicans are losing it. people are tired of watching americans tear down other americans and all from the side that preaches united we stand. the biggest mistake was not selecting john mccain as your man in the 2000 election. he might have done a really good job. but now john isn’t half the man he was in 2000. the maverick has been hamstrung by the far right in his own party. instead a man like george bush who never served his country with honor when he had a chance when he was in the military was selected over a once decent man that did serve with honor. if you truly love america, like most people do who are on this blog or they wouldn’t even be here, you would never want our country of freedom to be a religious state and you would never want someone like sarah palin that close to running the show. the republican party can get better, but only if republicans start holding their own party accountable for it’s negative actions and stop looking to blame anyone and everyone that doesn’t shut up and do as they are told and blindly follow the propaganda.

dw - we already have national healthcare and it sucks for us ordinary americans. our medical insurance rates keep going up to cover the uninsured. anybody that goes to a hospital emergency can not be denied treatment. so their bills get heaped on the middle class. it needs to be done smarter and more fairly. and we can easily pay for it by no longer giving any money to illegal immigrants or by eliminating that entitlement program for lazy muslims called the iraq war. the iraq war was stupid and in todays’ world it’s hard to win a war like that. to win the war in iraq we would have to do things like sherman did in the civil war and in the indian wars out west. near genocide to the inhabitants. or else they will always fight for their land, just like we would. the war in iraq is not winnable unless we do them the same way as we did the japanese in ww11. it won’t happen like that, this is a defense contractors war not a patriotic war for america. a war that was supposed to save american lives has now crippled and killed many more people than died in the towers in 9/11. i love my country and am a honorably discharged veteran and patriot, but i think this country needs to acting smarter and stop acting like a big spoiled bumbling bully to the rest of the world. it’s not helping us. as far as redistribution, it’s just the excess money of greed at the top that anybody wants to regulate and redistribute. that’s fair. rich is ok, but when it is just greed and it starts hurting all of america just to pyramid some poker chips, that’s wrong. i hope you don’t believe rich people are looking out for you, they’re not. what is it that our country exports today? what is our main industry in this country today? i’ll tell ya, our main export is war. our main industry is defense contracting, and the way we have been using it, it should be called offense contracting. i worked at 2 defense contractors in atlanta for 20 years, they don’t want peace. the best way we can avoid another muslim terrorist attack is to stay away from them as much as possible. stop meddling in their business and sweep around our own back door first. we can stop put the shah in place in iran. we can stop getting involved in russia’s afghan war and let them enjoy an iraq type situation and not us. we can let saudi arabia fight their won war with saddam. and we can start using all energy sources available to us, not just oil. believe it or not, there are a lot of moms and dads and kids in the rest of the world that wish al qaeda and u.s. defense contractors would stop causing so many unnecessary problems.

I’m shocked….the AJC endorsed Obama and Jim Martin!?! Who would have guessed it?

Polling is skewed, random and done in favor of the Democratic party. They attempted weeks ago to say its a landslide in an effort to sway the undecided from voting either party. The thought process being that the undecided voter would assume their vote wouldnt make a difference, hence they would stay home. Remember when all the major networks predicted Al Gore the winner before the race was even over. They also did everything but elect John Kerry. They finally think they have the best chance in Obama and they’re pulling out all stops to see he wins: which includes ignoring Obama’s past, making a big deal of Sarah Palin trying to fire her ex-brother in law because he tasered his 10 yr old son for misbehaving. Also, notice the softball questions asked of Biden and Obama but the media’s hatchet job on Sarah Palin interviews w/Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson where they edit it to make her look stupid. She’s the Gov of a state and has more leadership ability than the Community Organizer. AJC, CBS, MSNBC,etc..all think we are a bunch of dumb asses who will buy the crap they are peddling.

A good portion of what you said makes good sense and is articulated without the standard blogger jabs. Those jabs although fun to read don’t help give merit to those folks point of view. But, regarding healthcare, you said we already have national healthcare, okay let’s call it government controlled nationalized healthcare that Obama supports. You’re playing the symantics game on that one. You are correct that the middle class pays for the rest. But to think that will “change” is in my opinion wishful thinking. Obama will remove our payments to healthcare providers, but he will eventually increase our taxes and take it that way to pay for us and everyone else. So the ordinary American (and I am one) will pay the bill. As for your thoughts on greed, you are correct, there is way to much greed.

wrong again mr. bias. i don’t like war, in general i am against it. but sometimes wars are going to happen and they have to be fought like attila would fight them, or caesar would fight them, or patton, or alexander. total all out! but no more police actions, no more stupid, unnecessary wars like vietnam and iraq. sherman said that war is cruel and the crueler it is the sooner it will be over. actually saving lives in the long run when it’s done that way. but iraq was a stupid war to start that has been handled in a stupid way. we can do better. but never fight a war if you can’t make civilians part of the equation. sherman knew that, the british learned that eventually in the boer war. never go into a war if your not willing to salt their fields, drain their reservoirs or level their cities. a nice war doesn’t work. tip-toeing so as not to offend anybody in war doesn’t work either. all out or nothing at all, that’s where i stand. you go to sadr city and you tell everyone there they are going to cooperate completely you will level their city. and when they don’t comply, you level city. not even a single animal remains alive. that’s how ghengis and attila did it. and you know what? the next city they came to opened their gates and fully complied. that actually saved lives in the long run. letting a guerilla war get out of hand just perpetuates the killing. i could never be a general and give the orders, but that’s how you fight a war.

and if i really wanted to bring the muslim world to it’s knees it would not be through limited police actions. i would get my allies on my side kinda like we did in the gulf war, i would negotiate if possible and if we couldn’t work anything out i would start a ww11 military type campaign with a draft for all americans being eligible, even the rich and even those in college. that right there would stop a lot of wars. but no war is ever worth fighting if the majority of the people in the country don’t approve a draft. people will always support a defensive war when their land is attacked. but no one would approve a draft for something like iraq. but a true all out war against the muslims should be special forces, paratroopers, cruise missiles, the works in afghanistan. normandy type amphibious landings from the indian ocean through pakistan and landings from the meditteranean sea through lebanon. all linking up and isolating iran and iraq and just plain squeezing the life out of them til they capitulate. that’s how a war is fought. still think i’m a liberal pal? still think i’m for the terrorists numbskull? i’m just tired of the stupid!
