Obama tonight...

[vraiblonde]

So he could tell a national audience why they should vote FOR him and not AGAINST BO.

The McCain camp seems to be focused on telling folks why they should vote AGAINST BO. When they should be telling folks why they should vote FOR McCain. That approach is either because they're desperate or they don't have something positive to offer.

So he should just ignore Obama's glaring flaws, like the leftwing media does?

Shhh! No talking about terrorists because it doesn't matter - it's about the issues!

?

If McCain were partying around with fascists or KKK members, the media would be having a field day - we're talking about the people who thought Sarah Palin's wardrobe was just the ultimate scandal, but don't want to discuss Ayers and Khalidi. Or ACORN. If it weren't for Fox and John McCain, we wouldn't know any of this. And you may want to close your eyes to this sort of thing, but I do not.

If you don't like Palin ,Larry, that's your prerogative, However you don't have to try to belittle her by calling her Caribou Barbie.

When she was first selected by McCain you were all gaga about her, now your BDS has kicked in and you belittle her.

She is as good a pick as he had to select from.

Lieberman would not have helped a McCain ticket, Certainly he is well known,but he didn't do much for Gore even though he sold himself out and ran with him. Lieberman no matter what , is at heart a Democrat, a liberal Democrat, he votes Democrat and is not in tune with Republican agenda. Its bad enough republicans are forced this year to vote for a RINO without having to vote for a RINO with a Democrat as his VP. Say anything you like about Palin she has done a good job in this election, she has been belittled by folks like you, she has been scrutinised obsessively, she has been lied about, they have lied about her children ,their father, she has been talked about like a piece of meat by horny middle aged guys all over America and she comes out looking like a lady,IMO a smart lady. So you just go on calling her Caribou Barbie and belittling her , you go vote for Joe Gahootinbollocks or anyone else you want to vote for because you have let your dislike of George Bush turn you from McCain who has the only chance of beating the Messiah. That's exactly what the Messiah wants you to do because a vote for anyone but McCain is a vote for Obama.

Hatred for George Bush is what Obama has and he has been spouting it since day one, and you are falling for it. I have read your posts and you are a smart guy, too bad you have fallen into the trap.

This is a point worth repeating.

The second Obama is even asked a tough question, he goes crazy and starts snubbing reporters. If you criticize this guy, he sets the dogs on you to scream "RACIST!!!".

But yeah, let's talk some more about that terrible Sarah Palin and her wardrobe costs.

When she was first selected by McCain you were all gaga about her, now your BDS has kicked in and you belittle her. Yup. Until I got to hear on the issues several times.

She is as good a pick as he had to select from. Nope. Given the economy, Romney would have bee great.

Lieberman would not have helped a McCain ticket, We disagree. An awful lot of people in the middle like Joe and like McCain for that above their party's thing they both do Certainly he is well known,but he didn't do much for Gore even though he sold himself out and ran with him. Lieberman no matter what , is at heart a Democrat, a liberal Democrat, he votes Democrat and is not in tune with Republican agenda. I shudder to think that anyone thinks Bush or McCain represent the GOP agenda

That's exactly what the Messiah wants you to do because a vote for anyone but McCain is a vote for Obama. Yup and we can go right on settling for Bush and McCain or we can stop supporting people who do NOT support our ideas of good governance

Hatred for George Bush is what Obama has and he has been spouting it since day one, and you are falling for it. I have read your posts and you are a smart guy, too bad you have fallen into the trap.

Too bad George W Bush has been such a terrible president. You can blame that on me, however. I voted for him. Twice.

 

[chernmax]

I passed on watching the Obama informical, instead I took my family out to dinner and came home and played Nintendo Wii with my daughter. My 13 year old daughter is much more informative than Obama could ever be!!!

No you didn't - you wrote in Alan Keyes in 2000, remember?

 

[This_person]

That is true. In all fairness, Larry was asking the questions. McCain still could've redirected the conversation a bit which is something politicians do all the time.

That's a fair answer. IMO, it's hard to redirect the conversation when the question is "you don't really think Obama is a socialist, do you?"

Even Dan Rather called it a strong interview, and said McCain's folk should copy it for ads for the last few days. But, it's hard to control an interview.

...thank you. I feel a little better, then. I did, however, vote for him in 2004.

Didn't I?

...or both.

Or neither. The population has proven they don't really care about the actual issues, or Obama wouldn't have the polling numbers he has. He's an empty suit with reason to be running let alone winning, but he's charismatic, young, good looking, and different. That seems to be enough for far too many people.

So, McCain talking issues makes him look old, tired, boring. He has to point out some of the juicy gossip about Obama, because it's all people will listen to at this point.

McCain has all of these positions he's taking now that are, in several cases, opposite of what he has supported and voted for in the past. He made his name being 'Mr. Maverick' and appealing to the press and voting to set himself up as just outside the party enough to be attractive to moderates.

He was attractive to the left because he was among the furthest left Republicans. A war hero that has liberal attitudes.

Put him up next to an Obama, and he looks like the furthest right you can get - because he's virtually dead center on most issues. That's why the press hates him now.

Everyone said the press would turn on him if he got the nomination. He did and they did. And he's stuck without them and stuck with his voting and legislative record. So, he wheels Caribou Barbie out to excite the right, which it did, for a time. He'd have been far better off continuing with the path he'd chosen and picked Liebermann.

Why do you minimize a sitting governor so much.

Again, what does Palin lack that Gov Clinton didn't lack when he was elected president by 40% or so of the population? What does she lack that Sen Obama doesn't lack?

That little hangy down thing between the legs.

That little hangy down thing between the legs.

IMHO, I like what she has better.

 

[Larry Gude]

Or neither. The population has proven they don't really care about the actual issues, You can say that but it doesn't make it true; people know things are wrong. They know the GOP isn't impressing anyone on how to fix it. If they don't understand what Obama would or wouldn't do or how it would work, they do know what we're doing now isn't too goodor Obama wouldn't have the polling numbers he has. He's an empty suit with reason to be running let alone winning, but he's charismatic, young, good looking, and different. That seems to be enough for far too many people.

Clinton had two full terms to her 2 years. Quit being so defensive. It's not inflammatory to say Clinton was more qualified than she is and I have said, numerous times, she is far more qualified than Obama.

You know what I'm sayin'.

 

[chernmax]

And you are exactly what I perceive of the majority of Republicans on this site.

You don't care about America, it's troops, or anything.


You care about REPUBLICANS.




"Oh...look at THAT Democrat. He voted absentee because he's going to be working all day on Election Day protecting our butts! His vote shouldn't count!"




#### You, BCP.


And some wonder why Republicans are despised.

Penalty flag on the play, idiot speaking!!!

Clinton had the most popular votes and the most electorial votes. Clinton had 14 years experience as the AK gov. Palin is just shy of two years running a govt the size of Montgomery County.

Psst, Alaska = AK Arkansas = AR

It was very well done, did what it was supposed to do, which is solidify the support he already has, and increase the comfort level of any who are on the fence.

I don't know if it can counteract the brilliant move of the McCain campaign of having Joe the "Israel Expert/Writer/Country Music Star" Plumber on the trail with them......

Yep, it's much better that Obama belittles the guy every chance he gets, and asking a question of a politician is going to result in a full blown investigation into your background, financial status, and work status.

Makes me not want to ask him any questions.. Good Strategy. Someone asks you a question you don't like, ruin their lives.

 

[itsbob]

The only thing the ads proved last night, is Obama can't keep his word. He's a liar, and has no ethics.

The only way he could have done these adds, is to have enough throw away contribution money to be able to pay for them.

If he had signed the Public Campaign Fincancing, he, like McCain, wouldn't have had the money to do them in the first place.

McCain and Obama promised to do it, only one of them kept their word. In turn, one candidate has already proven the value of "his word" and how we can expect him to act after elected. There should be no surprises when EVERYONE's tax bills go up if Obama is elected.

Good catch....
