Obama's woes have nothing to do with 'lipstick'

Palin is NOTHING but lipstick on a red herring!

....I am John McCain and I approve these lies.

Now let me understand this... I must be missing something ! Palin considered herself a "Pit bull" and Obama called his wife a "Pig"? I though his family was off-limits for any mud slinging ? Aren't they only allowed to sling mud at Palin and her family ?

And was it lipstick on a pitbull
or lipstick on a pig
or lipstick on a monkey ?

Why, oh why, are we still talking 'lipstick'? Don't you know this plays right into McCain's hands?

Move on!

McCain and Palin are a virtual roadmap of  LIES, DECEIT, ABUSE of POWER and TREACHERY. To run on a transparent "change" platform is the biggest farce in American History!!!! Simply put, McCain and Palin represent big GOP "business as usual" except now, they are to be endorsed by GOD. McCain's team is filled with corporate lobbyists, Palin's regurgitated speech was scripted by Bush's former speechwriter Matthew Scully and it is on the record that Karl Rove offers up advice. That's not change! The daily vetting drip, drip, drip from Alaska is coming in louder and louder and coincidentally,  Palin STILL can't take a 3am call from the media! McCain's ONLY response? Distortions and swift-boating set intentionally loose like red herrings while the needs of the American public remain addressed with complete silence. I don't profess to have a crystal ball about the elections, but in my book, McCain will always be loser. I see no honor in anything thing he says or does only vicious, ugly, insular opportunistic greed. Tell me, which kitchen does McCain sit at the table (sexist remark coming: while Cindy does the dishes) and they talk about YOU?

Obama/Biden: Change We Can CERTAINLY Believe In

You poor bitter people! You can spew vitriol like no other because you are angry and bitter but you have no guns or religion to cling to so you have to cling to making inane remarks about two perfectly qualified people on this blog. I hope you like Canada or Cuba because McCain is going nothing but up in the polls and american women love Palin--she's up 12 points in that demographic today. The battleground states aren't looking too blue anymore either--several are already red and the rest are purple. Ouch!

I used to wonder how Hitler could deceive a whole country into committing genocide. I don't anymore. A country in the economic dumps, a culture war, and a myriad of propaganda. McCain's entire campaign whiffs of NAZISM.

McCain-Palin Distorts Our Finding..

…With its latest ad, released Sept. 10, the McCain-Palin campaign has altered our message in a fashion we consider less than honest. The ad strives to convey the message that FactCheck.org said "completely false" attacks on Gov. Sarah Palin had come from Sen. Barack Obama. We said no such thing. We have yet to dispute any claim from the Obama campaign about Palin...

McCain? Thanks, but no thanks.

marie,

Where are you getting your facts -FOX? Pleeeese, this year and the issues at stake a republican ticket would not win an election even if it read Jesus/Maria Magdalene. Never mind McCain/ Palin. As for all American women love Palin statement - please speak for your self and do not generalize.

I am a woman and I will never vote for someone based on gender, color or religion. I need to see a resume and prove of record. The appointment of Sara Palin only shows the republican party's contempt tours women - that think that us idiotic and irrational individuals will only vote for her because she is a woman. I am a former supporter of Hillary and I can assure you that Sara Palin the politician and her resume did not impressed me.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

Unfortunately Obama has no resume. He has not one achievement in his life except winning the democratic nomination. At least if he had been a mayor he may have one decision he can point to that he made.

I don't see how the country can vote for a man with no resume and stated that there are 57 states. It's just to bizzare.

Dear grammie, as a LIFE LONG Republican, I want you to have a good day,,,,,,,,of course you can't,,,,,,,, but I do incourge any and all lies, hate, and {posably some fake documents? } that would be great,,,,,, please keep up the good work, and get McCain and Palin elected so this country won't be turned into the USSA. Please MORE, MORE, MORE! ! ! ! THANK YOU.

So you will vote for him without any plan? Change is not a foreign policy. Change is not a domestic policy. Change which promises billions to special interest groups will cost them and the rest of us right out of our pockets. Obama's change (if elected/not likely now) will probably be (according to leading analysts in economics) the tipping point into Depression for the US and probably world wide.

Give us a plan or don't expect us to believe in your change even if you call it "a change you can believe in!" We don't!

I Do!!

Marie: in fact, I think the only change count after the election is over is the policy. After all, we may not see them in person again once they step into the office. Only the policy will effect our life. Just like Bush did twice. We liked him, we loved him, but the policy that he carries out leaving us struggling today. No doubt, anyone who steps into office will face quite difficulites since Bush left us a huge difficit. That's why we have to stop the war in Iraq. Even we stop all corruption in Washiongton, if the war continues, there will be no money spending in US. In addition to that, the eduction will be far behind the world if we don't fix it now. US is behind on this already although US has the best schools but you see more and more international students taking the higher score. Don't take from me, check it out yourself. Compare the plans line by line and see which one works for you.

cholla, I'm sure we're all waiting with great enthusiasm for your words of wisdom.

Sarah, what policies of Bush's that he proposed do you think has hurt our economy? I figure you will mention the war but at the same time that increases prodiction costs and increases jobs in the US I know we do spend a lot there but that is not the reason for hurt in our economy. The rest of the world is performing at the same rate and most countries have a higher unemployment rate. The housing crisis has nothing to do with Bush but with Americans over spending, gas prices would not be as high if Clinton did not ban drilling and we would be getting oil from certain spots right now in the US. Please give me some bills that Bush has passed into legislation so that I can understand your point better. I do not think our economy is hurting from 1 person if you look into history economies always fluctuate.

You better think again. It is none of the above. Check this out: Obama, the first B-L-A-C-K presidential nominee of a major political party was doomed from the start. I just can't forget how the woman who ended up getting Oprah to be her slave/ maid after having gone to jail for striking the womans husband in the movie, The Color Purple. It wasn't enough to have been her maid all those years but then the lady offered to let her go visit with her relatives for just one day, Christmas all the while knowing she was not going to let her have that pleasure. So she thought up some asinine way of keeping her from her family and then when she had her way she just smiled! This is what has happened to Obama. At first when he started his grass roots campaign, not all black people were on board, most were in disbelief that a black man could aspire and possibly attain to the office of the presidency. But the white people were flocking to Obama so the black people started to listen up. Well it hasn't taken long before the white people en mass have decided to go with the old white guy and his shiny new white woman side kick instead of Obama. voila! It was something that never was suppose to happen anyway!!!!!!!!!

You are truly strange, Marie.

Marie your philosophy is so off that I do not know where to begin. Africans Americans are usually dems anyway. I think many people thought Obama would be a good candidate just on hype alone and then when they began to look into this CHANGE and his life they found many faults that would make him not able to be president at this time. He is the most liberal man in the Senate and I do not think people realized just how liberal he is. I think people also started to see that he has special interests groups and is more of an insider than they originally had though he has just as many flaws if not more than the rest of the candidates. He is a great and drawing speaker but when you look up his seat in the Senate he has literally done nothing and to have all of this passion and do nothing in the Senate makes him look like a hypocrite.

Why wait move Now!! Obama/ MCcain are one in the same . I think you would be better off moving to Cuba there more like what your looking for.

DURKA DURKA

carolyn-452703 - Need any help packing? You're right; it is about issues. Remember to turn off the lights when you leave. bob-413984 suggestion about Cuba was pretty good, much nicer weather and you can be part of a nation that may eventually have a hope of the most minimal individual rights. As long as you agree with the government (government agrees with you) you will love it there. If not I'm sure they will welcome your dissent.

why don't you and bob move, you people like to control everything, and when something or someone doesn't agree you are nasty and rude, just like your candidates, McCain and Palin. ANYONE who would call their wife a cun*, in front of other people should not be president. If my husband had ever called me that, he would have awaken without his most precious 2 possessions. I feel so sorry for Cindy, having to live with such a creep. Maybe she should divorce John, then he could marry Sarah, and they could live happily ever after, in Alaska away from normal people.

I agree. Go now. I thought the article was interesting. Most have made the same observation - that it is all about Barak Obama - his grandstanding in Europe, at the Denver convention (a temple with pillars - you have got to be kidding) Getting to the point - Obama is self-centered and arrogant. Not character traits that I admire. Also, if he is going to talk about issues - do you know that Obama now has the third version of his tax plan. It includes not raising taxes on the so called wealthy as doing that in a recession would cause more economic problems. A lot of the individuals that Obama would tax are small business owners who would then lay off workers - also if taxes are increased to businesses the costs just get passed down to the consumers. That's why if you notice - he has changed from talking about taxes to education. (if you want more information on the Obama 3.0 Tax Plan - see the September 9, 2008 article in The Wall Street Journal titled, "Obama Tax 3.0.)

"Obama and his running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, see America as a nation in which government plays a primary role in individual lives.
John McCain and Sarah Palin see the individual as primary and government as a protector
of freedom that can help the less fortunate become self-sustaining."

Obama/Biden are doomed to fail because they are not discussing issues. They are more concerned with their own egos.

Sorry you bought that ocean front property in Arizona from McCain. I hear his political speak all over again when I read your comment. You must be rich or you are one of those who believe McCain when he said he wants to make you rich. (LOL) In any event, I can see that the last 8 years has been kind to you enough so that you want at least 4 more. When the price of gas reaches $7, $8 or $10 a gallon and this country is enbroiled in a third war and we are having massive oil tanker spillage. not to mention more global warming. I do hope you have invented the first hydrogen powered car or not have any children you will have to send into battle, or you can't take a decent vacation to a beach resort because the beach is an eyesore and is closed, and lastly I hope you can afford to cool or heat your home in summer/winter but maybe it won't even matter by then because you will have voted for McCain and you and him wanted "country first and real change and you got it!!!!!!!!!!

bob-413984Why wait move Now!! Obama/ MCcain are one in the same . I think you would be better off moving to Cuba there more like what your looking for. __________________
Dear Bob: are you part of the dumbing down of America????? Your and you're are two SEPARATE words/comcepts. You should have used you're which is a contraction for you are. So republican of you to make this mistake LOL

integrity first who really cares in here if someone uses your instead of you're if you are in here to debate or make comments these ones are always annoying. Republicans are wealthier and more educated than democrats. If Clinton did not put drilling bans on everywhere we would not have the gas prices that we do now. Marie I think you should do some research on global warming and cooling. Neither President will change much considering that other countries are lacking in participation to reduce their emissions. People who vote republican do not have to be rich but understand tax code more so than dems the difference in tax people pay is ridiculous it ranges from 0-40% with the top tax payers supporting 80% of the US.

If you really were intelligent you would know the facts on who placed the ban on off-shore drilling. It wasn't Bill Clinton, it was George H.W. Bush. I read the posts of many of the McCain supporters and am amazed at how little knowledge they have when it comes to facts. They accuse Obama supporters of drinking the Kool-Aid, yet they are the first ones to believe anything someone from their side throws out, without even doing their homework first. That's what you call "more educated"? Sounds more like what a dunce would do.

It was actually not George H.W. Bush, in 1982 the senate and house voted to place this ban. G.W. Bush was VP then. The dems in the senate are fighting to not lift it and it could be lifted in Oct. I guess we will have to see when they get back from their summer vaca. The House in 2006 voted to end the ban but the Senate did not.

McCain is floating in his own sewage and can't be clean in his frenzied effort to keep the power and money on the Republican side.

Obama is having a hard time staying on the high road because of the misleading and deceptive lies that McCain is throwing at him.

Everyone needs to get out and speak to those who will vote in November. The survival of our American Democracy depends on it.

Good point, fisherman. It is amazing, just look around my small town and see all the Obama bumper stickers, and yard signs and I live in a middle class neighborhood in the South.

I don't know how it is in your part of the country but the only reason you see only Obama swag out here in the Pacific Northwest is because if you put out anything else, your property will be damaged and you will be abused - verbally and physically.

We have a big music event over Labor Day called Bumbershoot and Obama's people got into the King County GOP tent, ripped up everything and then tried to set it on fire. The regular abuse of conservatives out here may keep them quiet but it doesn't stop them from voting.

Well said, I agree whole heartedly. The media use to report the news and they would explain things that need an explanation. Now they entwine their own political biases into their reporting so most people hear what they should think instead using their own reasoning power and coming to their own conclusions. But the American public has had this mind conditioning so long from the media until they cannot even tell when it is their own thought or something planted by the media which is almost entirely conservative. If they aren't, with just a little pressure from the right wing conservatives, they cave!

philly, fineman is an American just as you are, and we still have much of our freedom of speech even though you and your candidates seem to want to curtail it. If you don't like what you are reading, go to some other place that fits what you believe, you don't need to be calling people names for expressing their opinion.

Elaine, I agree, I think it's time for Obama to get down and nasty, although that isn't his style, so maybe Joe can do it for him, like the way Sarah is pulling the press away from McCain. The media is so wrapped up in the Sarah frenzy that they are totally ignoring all the stupid stuff that McCain doing now.

Palin doesn't ever have to sit down with the reporters and answer hard questions. Remember - they said they will follow their own agenda and do what's best for the campaign. As long as she is getting the glamorous magazine cover shots and favorable attention in the media, she will just smile and wave, and speak the pre-approved sound bites.

Joe cant do it for him... Joe said Today that Hillary was the better Choice. thats funny even Joe Biden thinks that Obama makes Bad choices..

What if Biden resigns and Obama ask Hillary to be VP.
This would stop Mc Cain/Palin in their tracks.

McCain has laid out NO plans. At least Obama has some. McCain thinks he's going to win on his and Palin's personalities, not issues. How sad is that?

It is hard to believe, cityofangels, that if you want to know about Obama so bad why you haven't bothered to find out. It's all there on the internet, all you have to do is go to his website. It hasn't changed since the thing began.

Whitebird, You are such a fool. Obama has no specific plans to solve any of the problems that he continues to speak of. You are typical of the lambs that fall for the political rhetoric spewed by politicians. All Obama has done is recite a litany of problems he is going to solve. That isn't a plan. Where are the details? He has none. I don't want to know "about Obama", I want to know , SPECIFICALLY, how he plans on doing all he says, and how he plans on paying for it. You are to caught up in the imagery and political BS.

cityofangels 1: which part do you want to know about Obama's plan? I am not a democrat. I am try ing to find out the plans from both sides. I think it is common sense if you spend billions of dollars a month in Iraq, there is no money spending in domestic. That causes the major trouble the last 8 years. If there is no money spending domestically such as infrastructure, such as paying higher salary for people, people don't have money to spend. Just like if we are struggling paying college loan, we will not have money to spend on the other stuff. I did business with China and manufactured goods for Macy's and other chain stores, I noticed the business becoming harder and harder. The US dollar value is dropping, Chinese kids are doing better in school than our kids. Even the Internet speed is faster than ours. It is a serious time for US not to getting worse. My prayer is may God guide us to put the differences aside and do the right thing for our children. So we do need look into both sides proposal carefully. After all, they can get us excited, getting emotional, at the end of the day we are the ones who pay our own bills.

Only fools call other people fool, cityofangels. And believe me I am not a lamb. You are too caught up in yourself obviously, to check the truth out. Why don't you tell US what McCain, the old man, has planned for the United States? I would be interested in hearing from someone as intelligent as you. What do McCain and Palin plan to do about the $470,000,000 deficit, about health care, about Iraq, about Iran, about education? Let's hear from cityofangels, he's( or she) going to tell us why McCain is better than Obama. Go.......hello cityofangels, we are waiting. drum roll, please.

Good post, sarah. I, too, worry about the children, since I am a teacher.

Although we do spend money in Iraw hopefull that war will be ending in the next 2 years with victory and an ally. We spend triple that in welfare a year and Obama plans to increase it, along with adding universal healthcare, another stimulus chech, tax cuts for the poor, the only reason why Bill did decent was because he cut welfare and military spending and then increased taxes. What is the working class that he speaks of? Is that middle class or lower class I am not sure when I here that phrase. Obama will not be able to get us out of war that much faster and he will spend more money than other presidents on social bills. If you look at the bills he votes yes to in the Senate they come with a high price tag. If he increases taxes it will only hurt business and will encourage job loss. Economys always fluctuate, in the 70's and 80's we had some issues and we always bounce back, the main problem right now is that Americans are awful with their money and have enormous credit card debt, mortgages, etc. This time the fluctuation is different because people had so much debt to begin with.

doesnt matter ur in ca, it goes for obama anyways

I am a Republican who resided in NY. Every year my vote would get ignored by the democratic majority. Now, I have semi-retired in Florida, along with hundreds of thousands of other former NY'rs. We live in Florida, and now our votes count. In the current election, the Florida Republican vote will count and will have an affect on the outcome just as it did in the last election.

It is so good to finally have a voice.

social, You are obviously a democrat. No intelligent republican would switch parties and vote for the most liberal democrat.

I'm from the South, white, and voting for Obama, as are plenty of my friends and co-workers. So I don't know where you get your information from.

Wow the whole 10 of you will really turn this election around and make up the majority. Thanks for the input.

The only reason McCain picked Palin is to distract the country from himself.

And it has worked!! The only thing the guys at work talk about is how hot she is, lol, funny how republicans make their own candidate for VP the butt of the joke.

If she can't take the criticism and the sexist nature that this country spews, then she has now business running for office.

Perhaps she needs to make sure she has on her big girl panties!

MKR, haven't you posted this before? Just wondering.

MKR wrote: "Howard Fineman is a right wing stooge parading as an independent voice." I've been listening to Howard Fineman quite a bit during this election year and I have yet to hear him say anything complimentary about Obama without sounding forced. Fineman has pushed the "Obama is uppity, uh excuse me, I mean proud, Obama has too much pride meme since it the possibility of Obama winning the primaries became more than wishful thinking.

Obama is proud and stubborn.

So is EVERY other politician out there. It is part of what makes them successful in their field. Whether his pride, or arrogance (depending on one's POV), is more glaring than others or whether it is beyond what the majority of voters will be able to stomach remains to be seen.

They won't be able to touch Obama in the debates, can't wait.

Bob, my friend, I think you are a tad confused, must be why you like McCain so much. It's McCain who steals from Obama, hello. Obama was talking change and here comes the old man, gotta have change. How weird. Isn't McCain a Republican? Isn't Bush a Republican? Yes, last we checked, McCain agreed with Bush at least 90% of the time. How can you change from what your party wants? They pay the bills after all. Strange, just what ticket does the feeble old guy think he's on this week?

obama voted (agreed) with democrats 97 percent of the time, so much for change.

that's because democrats ARE right 97% of the time. I'll give you 3% 'cus I'm in a good mood.

I suppose what is correct is more of an opinion. Still not change, more of the same from both sides. Congress, with democrat majority, has lower approval rating than bush.

Once Obama is president we'll see lots of change for the better.

I wish for once an accountant would run for president and and maybe economist for vp. Both sides are spending too much. All the lawmakers and lawyers arent very good at math as they cant seem to keep spending inline with revenue. Forget terriorist, I am more worried about owing money to foreign countries.

We have one really intelligent person running, one with a law degree, graduated top of his class. He probably knows a little bit about accounting and economics, too. And we do owe lots of money to China now. Hope Obama is up to fixing the deficit. Obama/Biden '08

I think Obama will be great for the deficit when he increases spending on welfare, universal healthcare, another stimulus check, and increases taxes on those evil rich people and we will see how much we can get out of them. We do deserve their money and they should provide not only jobs for the country but almost 80% of the funds for the gov to run on. Maybe by doing so more jobs and opportunity will come about. This change you people want is for the worse.
