This is becoming a broken record. Nobody thinks McCain is the right man for our times. Not even the folks who know him best!!! Republican Charles Mathias served in Congress from Maryland for 26, years, in the House for 3 terms beginning in 1961, three terms in the Senate, retiring at the end of the term in 1987. Mathias who has known McCain for many years, does not criticize him in any way. Rather he affirms his choice: Source

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HNNADGCyI4 Nobody on the McCain side really believes Obama is a radical Muslim with real ties to terrorism. On election night, if McCain wins, we all know he'll get up there and talk about Obama like he's his favorite person in the world. Some of his most racist followers parrot these lines because they're ignorant. But really, McCain and his team are just playing politics, right? But then we get to within 10 days of the election and things still aren't going well. Joe the Plumber just isn't getting you any traction... What do you need as a campaign? A real game-changer. Something so ugly you could tie to your opponent it m…

The embarrassment of riches. Wow! http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1008/14963.html Interesting how this "Commie" "Terrorist" is appealing to so many folks who call themselves Republicans. Could it be, maybe, that they're looking through the smokescreen and seeing the reality that Obama is really a Centrist with better plans for the future of this country?

I say you aren't paying attention... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrGPW6RZxTs Even McCain agrees he and Bush are brothers, linked to this collapsing economy.

Wow! Current poll shows McCain with a 2 point lead in his home state, 43.5 percent to 41.5 percent. Within the margin of error. Link here. The Republican "brand" is damaged beyond repair if this happens. Not that I mind.

It ain't over! That's my take. Get out there and vote and take 10 Obama supporters with you!!! But it certainly is encouraging to see someone so high up the Repug food chain be this demoralized. God, I love it! LOVE IT!!! David Frum in today's Washington Post...

http://www.adn.com/opinion/story/567867.html Some quotes… * Gov. Palin's nomination clearly alters the landscape for Alaskans as we survey this race for the presidency -- but it does not overwhelm all other judgment. The election, after all is said and done, is not about Sarah Palin, and our sober view is that her running mate, Sen. John McCain, is the wrong choice for president at this critical time for our nation. ** Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand. The same cannot be said of Se…

Being Barry Goldwater's granddaughter and living in Arizona, one would assume that I would be voting for our state's senator, John McCain. I am still struck by certain 'dyed in the wool' Republicans who are on the fence this election, as it seems like a no-brainer to me. Myself, along with my siblings and a few cousins, will not be supporting the Republican presidential candidates this year. We believe strongly in what our grandfather stood for: honesty, integrity, and personal freedom, free from political maneuvering and fear tactics. I learned a lot about my grandfather while producing the documentary, Mr. Conservative Goldwater on Goldwater. Our generation of Gol…

A libertarian is a conservative who's been busted. A libertarian is a liberal who learned economics. What is the derivation of the word Politics? It comes from Poly, meaning many, and Ticks, a blood sucking insect

Per the AP story this morning: WASHINGTON — Al-Qaida supporters suggested in a Web site message this week they would welcome a pre-election terror attack on the U.S. as a way to usher in a McCain presidency. The message, posted Monday on the password-protected al-Hesbah Web site, said if al-Qaida wants to exhaust the United States militarily and economically, "impetuous" Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain is the better choice because he is more likely to continue the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. "This requires presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain, who pledged to continue the war till the last American soldier," the messag…

I can't believe the American people fall for this b.s. he keeps feeding people: Obama Lie No. 1 — I will tax just the rich. There is no such thing as a tax on just the rich. Taxes on wealthy people affect everyone. Remember, Obama defines anyone making over $90,000 a year as "rich." Many "Joe the plumber's" discovered that Obama thinks Joe's rich too. Under Obama, he won't be able to hire new employees and grow his business. Joe's not alone. Obama says he'll strip away the FICA cap at $90,000 for every worker. That means every dollar you earn over that amount, you'll pay 7 percent! Obama Lie No. 2 — I want to give a tax cut to the middle…
