Why bother?
October 7, 2008 - 20:06 ET by pwoz(repost from earlier today)
McCain's already lost the election. His lack of a spine in calling out
SOCIALISM on Obama, as well as the support of that pathetic "bailout"
guaranteed the comrade's victory last week.
it's tough to kick the rino

Journalism is the opium of the liberals
Its Obvious...
October 7, 2008 - 22:01 ET by aerovelo...That McCain isnt the star on this ticket. He just cant wow them like Sarah.
He did pretty well, but he does need to realize, his job at this point is to hold the door for Sarah. If he cant do that then I guess Obama is holding the door for Hillary.
I still believe Sarah and John can pull it off. All they have to do is keep hammering Obama's lack of experience and shady past. The dems have their fingerprints all over our current financial situation and if Sarah and McCain cant make hay with that...then I dont know what would.
McCain has to realize also, he is not going to win any Dem voters...what he has to do is get the conservative right to start frothing at the mouth over a win in November. If he can get them to come out and bring two friends, he stands a chance.
Someone said he should stop saying "my friends". I think he should stop saying "we need bipartisan effort". Screw that, inspire your base, insure they come out for you in droves. McCain, your base gives a crap about bipartisanship.

Ask yourself: Do I want a good paying job, or do I want a government hand out. Its that simple!
Obama is evil, through and through (important, read on)
October 7, 2008 - 23:28 ET by wdhorningPresident Bush helped to stop WW III by ordering troops into Iraq, a war Obama opposed (read on).
Look at what Iran is doing today. It is spinning up its yellowcake for the obvious purpose of making nuclear weapons.
Had Obama been president in 2003, instead of Bush, we would have never
gone into Iraq. Instead, Saddam would have soon kicked the IAEA out,
and right now be spinning up his 600 tons of yellow cake, just like in
Iran. (And 600 tons can make about 142 nuclear weapons.)
And as soon as Iran and Iraq both built enough nuclear weapons, the two
countries would start WW III, destroy 1/3 of the world's energy
sources, making the current financial crisis look like a child's piggy
bank broke open or something compared to a world-wide economic
depression, and this all would have virtually tossed us back into the
stone age, all thanks to a man named Obama.
And to the rest of you traitors to the USA, the U.S. military, this
past summer, pulled the 600 tons of yellowcake out of Iraq, and all I
have to say to you traitors, if 600 tons of yellow cake, enough for 142
nuclear weapons, is not WMD, what the hell is? You are morons!!!! And
you are traitors for speaking against this war!!!! And you supported,
de facto, WW III !!!!
============
Now for the really evil part of Obama. He went to visit his cousin in
Kenya in 2006, and made a really big speech to his cousin's followers,
encouraging them to support his cousin. Before and after this event,
his cousin has waged genocide in Kenya, killing and raping women and
children, and even has burned alive church goers inside of churches,
and he has driven the populations away from their lands and homes. His
cousin is still operating in Kenya and still murdering people. Any
person who supports a genocidal maniac like Obama's cousin, is himself,
evil through and through, and that is Obama. There is no other
explanation that fits this maniac, but that.
========
There is clear evidence, per the Fox Hannity report on Sunday past,
that Obama has given significant support to local Palesinian
organizations in the Chicago area, who are not trying to bring a
peaceful solution in Israel, but rather are supporting most of the
ant-Israel terrorist organizations in the Middle East. Obama therefore
lies when he says he will defend Israel. That is lie by the king of
liars. If Obama wins, Israel can kiss its ass goodbye.
========
With repect to un-repentent Bill Ayers -- Bill Ayers, in his own living
room, helped Obamas start his political career, and prior to this Obama
worked with Ayers for 4 years solid on "community organizing" efforts.
This was no casual, chance meeting or two, this was a virtual
conspiracy to help Obama rise up the ranks. And for what purpose should
he become president? Help terrorists bomb targets in the US? Help
destroy the USA from within? Start a race war? Start WW III? That is what
it sounds like to me.
Obama eats, drinks, walks and talks, evil. He is a danger to the USA,
and even to world stability. Elect him, and kiss your ass goodbye.
=============
Now to borrow a line for Rev Wright, and I mean no personal threat,
I will leave that up to God, by soft prayer is "God damn Barrack Obama".
And remember, for 20 years, Obama heard racist, hate filled, "God damn
America" style preaching from Rev Wright.
(By the way, I have been to
black churches, where they love the Lord, and they do not preach like
this and guess what, these people are mostly not on welfare or any
other type of "fare" because the Lord has given them the inspiration to
educate themselves, work hard, and get ahead, and so do not need
government handout, and many whites and other nationalities often
attend these churhes, too.)
============
Spread the word, folks. This man, Obama, is evil, through and through, his associations and support for evil people proves it.
- Obama is a "maniac"
- Obama is a threat to the peace and security of the USA
- Obama is a threat to the world's peace and security.
- Obama is out to completely destroy the US economy, by raising taxes on businesses so high, that the majority of businesses will fail. What
good is a personal tax cut, if you are out of work, because the company
you once worked for is taxed out of business?
And then, if he succeeds in doing this to our economy, he will start
screaming that "capitalism is a failure," and start screaming "it needs
to be replaced with socialism/communism", which is the plot probably
hatched in Obama's mind, with the help of his communist buddy, Bill
Ayers.

It's 1976 all over again
October 7, 2008 - 20:48 ET by Scout FinchAmerican people are not hurting enough from Democrat tax and spend policies. And Bush has kept them safe from terrorism, so they have no fear about Obama's connections Khalidi and Ayers. They've enjoyed a pretty robust economy, so they figure we can afford to have "free" national health insurance.
In '76, we had a lukewarm Republican running against a fresh new face from Georgia in an election held after eight years of a Republican White House. We all know who won. And we all know how those four years played out.
It wasn't until our economy was in the toilet and our misery index was high enough to vote him out of office after one term. Can our country handle one term of Obama? Guess we'll find out.

October 7, 2008 - 23:04 ET by RedboneProIf he voted against it, it would have prevented the bill going thru, so they'd have to use an 'axe' to cut all the pork off. In doing so, many dems and probably republicans may have not passed it. And seeing how if something, anything even if it had some fat on it didn't pass, could be a very disasterous thing in both the short and long run.
Although, I still think it should've been passed without any fat or 'pork' in it. This bill shouldn't have been about anything else EXCEPT for the issue of rescuing the housing market/mortgage crisis. None of this pork for wooden arrows and what-have-you.
And it should be duly noted that the democrats in Washington are the ones that PREVENTED any types of regulation or oversight. According to them, everything was fine and honkey doory.

Or was it with the guy with freddie mac, not sure... maybe both?
Didn't President Bush, (current President) bring this issue up to legislative branch over 10 times in his time in office? Was it not the democrats that ignored and rejected these calls from the President, to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?
Didn't house republicans try to get some oversight on this? Wasn't McCain one of our elected representatives that actually tried to fix and call attention to this years ago?

In many cases, the so-called “idle” leases are not idle at all; they are under geologic evaluation or in some stage of pre-production development and could be an important source of domestic supply in the not so distant future. Collectively, companies spend billions of dollars to obtain
leases, pay rental fees each year to continue to hold them, and then pay to conduct surveys and other exploratory activity before production even starts. If a company does not produce from a well within a specified period set out during the lease term (usually five or 10 years depending on the area), it relinquishes the lease back to the government and loses all the money it invested." - American Petroleum Institute
