Other then bashing Obama what substance did it have? NONE. What is their plan for us…the working american? OBAMA HAS A PLAN. then why is it no one seems to know what that plan is. why is it that people cant see the only thing Obama has going for him is he is black and there are people out there that are so afraid of being a racist that dare not judge him for who he realy is.

Reading these comments I’d assume economics don’t exist!

Ever heard of sub-prime mortgages? That’s what caused this downturn, not anything the Bush administration did. Last I checked economic issues was not a part of the President’s job description; (the Constitution, I suggest you refresh on it) just being Commander in Chief of the military and making the State of the Union Address. CONTROL of the FREE MARKET will only drive more jobs away from home, but people don’t seem to understand that…

The Manchurian Candidate Becomes A Reality. God Help Us.

Obama, whose father was a practicing Muslim and whose mother was a radical Marxist, has stated that his mother: “Was the dominant figure in my formative years; and, the values she taught me continue to be my touchstone in the world of politics”. Common sense deductive reasoning suggests that Obama’s rearing as a child, and his extended 20yr relationships, and obvious conformity, with anti-American fanatics such as Rev. Wright ( the Pastor of his church that promoted the doctrine of Louis Farrakhan ) , and Frank Davis and William Ayers, etc., etc., are in fact reflective of Obama’s true psychological makeup. A conclusion rigidly re-enforced by Obama’s San Francisco commentary denigrating folks from small-town America. Obama’s affinity for questionable associates such as Tony Rezco, a convicted felon, raises a myriad of questions. Further, his increasingly frequent petulant responses to legitimate criticism is troubling. This man’s refusal to wear an American flag lapel pin and to place his hand over his heart on the singing of our National Anthem are conditioned reflexes from his protracted association with disaffected elements in our society; visual images that Obama is certain to attempt to obfuscate in future campaign appearances; even though, he has openly admitted: “I didn’t want to offend Muslims and others who don’t like America.”. Obama is our “home-grown” version of Hugo Chavez. Further, Michelle Obama’s angry commentary directed at our country is telling. Fifty-seven (57) State Obama’s comments that he would use U.S. Military Forces against Pakistan, a Nation with a sizable nuclear arsenal, and an ally in the war on terror, even without President Musharraf’s permission; a Nation that he mistakenly believed to be Arab; his indecision/confusion as to whether Iran poses a serious regional threat; while in other commentary, stating that he would halt the U.S. military’s development of advanced weapons systems demonstrates a profound ignorance of the geopolitical threat environment confronting America. His long-term subversive associations, and his immersion in seditious diatribe have indeed revealed Obama as the real-life Manchurian Candidate.

FORMER ARKANSAS GOV. MIKE HUCKABEE: Palin “got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska than Joe Biden got running for president of the United States.”

THE FACTS: A whopper. Palin got 616 votes in the 1996 mayor’s election, and got 909 in her 1999 re-election race, for a total of 1,525. Biden dropped out of the race after the Iowa caucuses, but he still got 76,165 votes in 23 states and the District of Columbia where he was on the ballot during the 2008 presidential primaries.

FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOV. MITT ROMNEY: “We need change, all right — change from a liberal Washington to a conservative Washington! We have a prescription for every American who wants change in Washington — throw out the big-government liberals, and elect John McCain and Sarah Palin.”

THE FACTS: A Back-to-the-Future moment. George W. Bush, a conservative Republican, has been president for nearly eight years. And until last year, Republicans controlled Congress. Only since January 2007 have Democrats have been in charge of the House and Senate

MCCAIN: “She’s the commander of the Alaska National Guard. … She has been in charge, and she has had national security as one of her primary responsibilities,” he said on ABC.

THE FACTS: While governors are in charge of their state guard units, that authority ends whenever those units are called to actual military service. When guard units are deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, for example, they assume those duties under “federal status,” which means they report to the Defense Department, not their governors. Alaska’s national guard units have a total of about 4,200 personnel, among the smallest of state guard organizations.

MCCAIN: “She’s been governor of our largest state, in charge of 20 percent of America’s energy supply … She’s responsible for 20 percent of the nation’s energy supply. I’m entertained by the comparison and I hope we can keep making that comparison that running a political campaign is somehow comparable to being the executive of the largest state in America,” he said in an interview with ABC News’ Charles Gibson.

THE FACTS: McCain’s phrasing exaggerates both claims. Palin is governor of a state that ranks second nationally in crude oil production, but she’s no more “responsible” for that resource than President Bush was when he was governor of Texas, another oil-producing state. In fact, her primary power is the ability to tax oil, which she did in concert with the Alaska Legislature. And where Alaska is the largest state in America, McCain could as easily have called it the 47th largest state — by population.

PALIN: “There is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it’s easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform — not even in the state senate.”

THE FACTS: Compared to McCain and his two decades in the Senate, Obama does have a more meager record. But he has worked with Republicans to pass legislation that expanded efforts to intercept illegal shipments of weapons of mass destruction and to help destroy conventional weapons stockpiles. The legislation became law last year. To demean that accomplishment would be to also demean the work of Republican Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, a respected foreign policy voice in the Senate. In Illinois, he was the leader on two big, contentious measures in Illinois: studying racial profiling by police and requiring recordings of interrogations in potential death penalty cases. He also successfully co-sponsored major ethics reform legislation.

PALIN: “I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending … and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress ‘thanks but no thanks’ for that Bridge to Nowhere.”

THE FACTS: As mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the town totaling $27 million. In her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation. While Palin notes she rejected plans to build a $398 million bridge from Ketchikan to an island with 50 residents and an airport, that opposition came only after the plan was ridiculed nationally as a “bridge to nowhere.”

I was not a John McCain enthusiast, but I give him my full support with the selection of Sarah Palin. He couldn’t have made a better choice. Not only was it a spectacular speech, but it was delivered without the screaming and screeching we have had to endure with Hillary Clinton speeches. It is great to have a woman on the ticket.

Though her detractors point out it was speech written by Matt Scully, Sarah Palin delivered it with an earnest enthusiasm. I appreciate her drive to serve and I think her record supports her assertions. It is time for a woman VPresident and Sarah Palin is definitely right for America.

if anderson cooper was an indication she scared the media, he was almost shaking in his seat. the cnn analysts started discusing how the had treated the republicans differently. this is election is still a long way to go and lots of things can happen, but as a conservative I was pleased.
