"Hundreds of Economists Sign Letter Opposing Obama's Tax Plan

That's only hundreds of votes for McCain. Not enough to win the election. < :-)

There's nothing racist in McCain's boast he will whip Obama's "you-know-what" in the last debate. This is something an elder says to a younger person and McCain is free to emphasize that difference and try to use it to his advantage. If Obama made such a pledge, however, it would look like he was planning to beat up on an old guy. Plus, as the front-runner he doesn't need to issue such proclamations to rally his base.

The problem for McCain is can he deliver? In the house I grew up in, "All right kids, I'm going to whack in a minute!" made it very clear Dad is mad and he's gonna act on it. McCain is a lot less fearsome frankly.

He's taken vague "we've got to cut government spending" positions without actually putting forward a set of numbers. Over the course of the campaign he's alternately promised to balance the budget at the end of his first and second terms. He might have been able to get away with that prior to the financial meltdown, now it's a lot harder.

A non-issue would be Troopergate if the Republicans were running a clean campaign.

Well...candidate mccain had better whip Obama's "you-know-what."

According to RCP.com, Florida has gone from being a toss-up to "leaning Obama."

That gives Obama a staggering 304 to 158 lead in electoral votes (364 to 174 with no toss-up states) to go along with his 7 point lead in approval rating.

At the rate things are going, not even diebold will be able to pull mccain's fat from the fire.

"ACORN is such a non-issue"

Watch how quickly ACORN, does, in fact, become a non-issue.

In this video the crowd is asked if they know Palin. Of course this well-informed electorate can also tell you about Obama.

Acorn is an issue. They should get credit for the good things they've done and blame for the bad things they've done (voter fraud, failure to disclose embezzlement).

Wow, I'm glad I took the high road on this one and said Acorn is an issue!

This just in:

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1008/AcornpushesbackhugsMcCain.html?showall

The beleaguered Democratic-leaning community group Acorn sends over this photograph: John McCain, in March of 2006, sitting beside Florida Rep. Kendrick Meek at an event Acorn co-sponsored in Florida.

The immigration event, which other photos show was packed with red-shirted Acorn member, was co-sponsored by the local Catholic Archdiocese, the SEIU, and other groups.

McCain, still spiting much of his party on immigration at the time, was the headliner.

Bertha Lewis, Acorn's chief organizer, said in a statement that came with the photo, “It has deeply saddened us to see Senator McCain abandon his historic support for ACORN and our efforts to support the goals of low-income Americans."

”We are sure that the extremists he is trying to get into a froth will be even more excited to learn that John McCain stood shoulder to shoulder with ACORN, at an ACORN co-sponsored event, to promote immigration reform," she said.

That was about the lamest video I have have ever seen. Sheesh.

Compare that to this.... No person questioning and trying to elicit a negative response required on this one, just a placard that with Mccain on it.

Thank you very much. You posted the perfect video to make my point. I posted a video that did not direct people to think a certain way by posting words over the picture. You posted a video with words pasted over the video that are lies to spread filth that makes liberals appear anti-patriotic. It said "Fact: Islamic radicals would be more welcome on the upper West Side than American patriots." So do you stand by that statement or not? Furthermore it stated "The "liberals" always extend their sympathy to those being bullied and rejected...not to the American patriots...but to American enemies." Vile words. That is complete filth and I will take the words and the fingers of the liberals any day over that filth. Not one of those people called McCain a terrorist. More lies: "Area intellectuals boo and jeer them well... ...just as they have been taught to do" " Zero tolerance to the opposing viewpoint... ...yet they want to impose their rules over our lives." While obvious supporters are high five-ing and shaking hands with the marchers no one harasses them however the words say "Out-of-towners? Foreigners? Or did some conservatives manage to survive...the liberal bullying?" " A bumpkin from flyover country might think New Yorkers are booing al Qaeda that's bent on destroying their city. " ""Liberal" elites believe that all ideologies are morally equal... ...except the one that supports capitalism and individual liberties... ...the only ideology that makes their own lavish lifestyles possible" I made the word one bold because they believe they are the only ones who support capitalism and individual liberties. Mixed economies also allowed lavish lifestyles. But here is the worst filth of all, "The leftist idea of unity is, and always has been... THE ELIMINATION OF DISSENT." In your video I saw some McCain supporters just walking down the street supporting the McCain marchers; they were not harassed one bit. You can say they were rude all you want but they did not interfere with their right to march. Obviously this guy doesn't take kindly to the modern rude dissent. We must disagree in his manner. There were no threats. I did not like it when the alleged liberals said "go home." But it was no threat,

You posted this video in your comments. Are these the words you want to hear McCain say tomorrow in the debate. I have no problem with the action of the area folks. They did not stop the procession. Those who were not marching but who supported the marches were not bullied; no one even commented to them. I saw no anger like I have seen with the Republican supporters. I see people very much acting like they would when there was a bad call at a ballpark. The McCain people did make a bad call. They came there to get a reaction and they did. I say Booooo . . . your ideas suck, myself. I would have told them the same thing. They were fervent not angry.

I do wonder how you can post something like that with those words. If you believe liberals want to eliminate dissent why don't you say that on this thread or any other thread. If you don't condone what the words said you should have said so when you posted the link. Saying it now has much less meaning. I want to add that I do not like when someone goes to the other parties conventions and says negative things or boos or gives the finger. This was a public street and both sets of people got to have their say. If you want to say they are rude so be it. I was glad to see fervent liberals make their displeasure known.

I would love to hear McCain's evaluation of this event at the debate. I would love to hear him comment on the words pasted over the video. If McCain said "Islamic radicals would be more welcome on the upper West Side than American patriots" he would drop in the polls quickly. Let McCain say "A bumpkin from flyover country might think New Yorkers are booing al Qaeda that's bent on destroying their city" at the debate tomorrow. Let him say this simple statement "A group of McCain-Palin supporters dare[d] to - march through the Upper West Side Infidels in the liberal Mecca...." and see what happens. The use of the word Mecca is inflammatory

I meant to hit the 'Preview' button not the 'Submit' button so I did not get the formatting I wanted nor did I properly proofread and arrange my grammatical structure. So please note that I would not normally submit a raw rough draft without a great deal more work to make it readable and presentable. So now it is what it is.

goodDonkey, thanks for detailing the brainwashing that goes on with the wording over the videos. It is sad and amazing how people succumb to that garbage. Sadder still that would pass it on by posting it here. --Cirroc

it doesn't matter that the financial crisis was caused mainly by Democrat policies.

Sarge, can you name those policies please? Or did you actually mean policy singular?

And could you name some specific Democrats? I hope its not Jimmy Carter (again.)

If it has something to do with Carter, or even Clinton, please explain why the Republican controlled Congress we had all those years Bush was president (and it did include John McCain) did not forsee and avert the disaster. Thank you. --Cirroc
