By the way, this entire post is from Fox News. http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/28/ob...n-election-day/ Way to spout the right wing talking points. Hey, here's something for you to consider... Maybe, just maybe, Obama realizes that the turnout on election day is going to be massive. Maybe he realizes that some folks, particularly in poorer areas where they don't have the best or most available polling equipment, may need to wait in LONG lines to register their votes. Maybe, just maybe, he's looking ahead and thinking this might cause some a lot of discomfort with their employers and they'd be better off if they didn't have to worry about it while standing in these long lines. I recall video from the poorer areas of Cleveland in the last election where people were waiting in 2 mile long lines to go vote. I'd say that would be discouraging. I'd say some of those folks would miss a lot more of work than they planned, no? Or are you trying to play the old "Shiftless" card on Obama supporters? Are we all just lazy? Why do you think that way?

I've lost a lot of respect for him and a few others. Can't help it. But I doubt he'll lose any sleep over it. After all, I'm just an unemployed hippie.

Here's some more video from a McCain/Palin rally. Damn, do these people really represent Republicans in America? I sure hope not. But what I see here is really ugly. And McCain is pushing all the right buttons with these folks, feeding their hatred. And then people are surprised when the FBI arrests skinheads planning on wiping out 100 African Americans along with Obama. I'll tell you one thing, no matter how this turns out, I fear for my country. I can't believe people like this exist in the 21st Century.

It was a huge mistake. That was clear to anyone with a brain then. And what did McCain do? He followed Hillary's plan and just made it more disgusting and more blatant. I guess he thinks she had the right idea on what the American People want to hear about during this campaign... Earth to McCain... SHE LOST!

Ah, the bottom line for the idiotic. Lose an argument and threaten violence or try to just shout them down. I see this happen on Fox News almost every day. So you want to kick my ass now? LOL I'm 43. My days of fighting fools like you ended about 8 years ago in my mid-30's. And no, I didn't say everyone is voting against him because they're racist. It is a big reason, however, and if you deny it, you're blind. Answer the question, should McCain/Palin be addressing this hate at their rallies or should they just let it slide? You realize that if they did, it would lose them votes. Is their acceptance of racism bothersome to you? These are the questions. Not whether or not you can (or would like to try to) kick my ass.

You really think he has any credibility either way? LOL

I'm certainly not a socialist either. But I do believe and stand by everything I've posted here which clearly has nothing to do with supporting socialism. And as far as I'm concerned, we all need to stick our necks out these days or we'll end up with 4 more years of the same old same old that got us where we find ourselves today. Note that not one of these guys talks up McCain. They rip on me or call Obama names. This thread (or another like it) is a low water mark for them, calling me a crack head or some such. I'm the father of a great 10 year old boy and I live in a nice house in the Chicago suburbs. I've worked for the same company now for nearly twenty years and I've made a nice living doing so. I pay my taxes, vote and work for political candidates I believe in. I've voted for Republicans in my life on a number of occasions. None of this sits well with their right wing smear of who I am or what I stand for. See, it's really easy to rip something down. Harder to build. But it can be fun and/or funny. I've tried humor here any number of times, basically to get this topic some traffic. I dish it out and I'm OK with taking it. I'm glad there are some here who can see the difference between the slime McCain's campaign is putting out and reality. Nobody on McCain's bus really believes Obama is a terrorist or a commie. They're just giving the dopes, the racist and the Fox News viewers some red meat. That's all. I understand that. And it seems it won't work this time. I pray for this country that is doesn't. 4 years ago I knew we were on the wrong path. I knew electing Bush again was going to continue that spiral. I never saw this coming, however. I didn't think his leadership or lack thereof could take us this deep into the shit. I know now, that we need energetic leaders, competent people in government, and new ideas. I see none of that from McCain. So, gents, whack away at me if you need to. Maybe it's the only way you can deal with the realities and truths I bring up here. No problem. But understand this... your ideas about who I am are way off base. I don't think any less of you; I just think your ideas for our future are dangerous. We've tried your program and we've seen the results. Two Republican Presidents in a row have led us into recessions. So, please, pretty please with sugar on top, shut the f*ck up and stand in the corner. The adults have work to do to save this country from you and people like you. There are lots of good folks out there like me working hard every day to make sure your discredited political philosophy hits the dustbin of history. I hope you appreciate our efforts when in 4 years from now, things are a lot sunnier. You can thank me then.

UPDATE: You can see a short video showing the humor Obama uses to deliver this speech. As I've noted many times, there is no way McCain is going to convince America that this guy is anything but the genuine article. ORIGINAL POST: I suggest you read this if you want to cut through the crap some of our right wing members are posting here. If you don't think what Obama here says is compelling, or you simply don't believe him, fine, vote McCain. If, on the other hand, you're touched by his words and you've got no reason to believe McCain more than Barack, think carefully about what we've seen happen to this country over the last 8 years and maybe even consider giving the other guy a shot. I've been posting a lot of information here about how Obama is being endorsed, day in and day out, by news organizations and Republicans across the country. It seems they're not buying the negative stuff McCain's team is putting out there. So, here is Obama's actual plan...

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

The next time Drunk Bomber tells the truth will be his first. Notice he doesn't address the issue at all. He just responds with a "they did it too". In other words, he condones racism. A fact I believe is why most people voting against Obama are doing so. They've got other "public" reasons they claim but let's face it, NOBODY with any level of intelligence really believes Obama is a terrorist or communist. There isn't any way possible anyone can size up these two gents and make a decision that McCain is better suited to solve the enormous problems in this country better than Obama can. McCain's got no new ideas, no energy, no plans. And he put his campaign first and "Country Second" by picking Palin, Bush in lipstick. See this link for how a strong conservative, Chris Hitchens, sizes her up. He's brutally honest when he says: "a woman who is a religious fanatic and a proud, boastful ignoramus." Other than the woman part, it sounds just like W. Haven't we learned from our 8 year mistake? The folks telling us to "trust them" said the same thing 8 years ago. I don't know about you but I'm sick of listening to the people who put us in this position acting like they're the experts. They haven't got a clue. F*ck them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9T0FI2axbU Sickening. Do the McCain backers here think this sort of thing belongs in our politics? Step up and put yourself on record.

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 Sen. McCain. It is easy to look at Sen. Obama and see a return to the smart, bipartisan economic policies of the last Democratic administration in Washington, which left the country with the momentum of growth and a budget surplus that President George Bush has squandered. On the most important issue of the day, Sen. Obama is a clear choice. *** Yet despite her formidable gifts, few who have worked closely with the governor would argue she is truly ready to assume command of the most important, powerful nation on earth. To step in and juggle the demands of an economic meltdown, two deadly wars and a deteriorating climate crisis would stretch the governor beyond her range. Like picking Sen. McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time.

http://www.economist.com/Vote2008/ Et tu, Australia? LOL! The whole world hates Repugs.

LOL! Same old song and dance from you. And Obama is a socialist because he wants tax breaks for the middle class instead of the wealthy. You guys kill me.

The 8 year nightmare for this country will end IF Obama wins. I'm not saying he will. No jinxes here. People like you, with your ploitical philosophy have been discredited. Your opinion is completely without value. You expect us to trust you after what YOU'VE done to the country? BWAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! Try again. And you're the one brainwashed by 30 something years of Republican talking points. Oh, the media is biased!!!! WAAAAHHHHH. Bullshit, the only biase out there is Fox News which I'm sure you watch religiously. Or Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity on the radio. Most folks who want the truth avoid those sources. You're probably calling into their shows every day. If you think the items I've posted here are biased, it shows yours. I've posted items about several Republicans jumping to Obama. I guess they've been brainwashed too. God damn are you dumb. You quoted barkingmad.com or some shit. LOL!

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 might make people reconsider their vote based on their most base instincts. Appeal directly to race. That's what it appears they did in this case folks. They were quoted as being out ahead of this story before the police. McCain tried to somehow make this incident about Obama. Why? What tied this case to the Obama campaign? And then it turns out... She made up the story. It never happened. Just like Joe wasn't real, although this is so much uglier. I'm disgusted. Look deep into your soul before you vote next Tuesday. Ask yourself if you're really voting for the best man to lead this country out of this mess. And realize that McCain was willing to do and say anything to become President. Remind you of anyone? We don't need 4 more years of that "anything goes" abuse of power in Washington. Of course, that's just my opinion, but damn if I'm not backed up by the facts.
