How ironic is it that NOW that the race is close John McCain is closing the gap by campaigning with (so stupid) Sarah Palin, and the Obama camp has put THIER fabulous RUNNING MOUTH, I mean RUNNING MATE Joe Biden (as in biding my time) UNDERGROUND? Do you think this is the agenda Joe Biden agreed to with Barack Obama before he agreed to be the VEEP?

Yes, some polls are tightening, but here's another to think about: a new poll by CBS News and the New York Times shows 59% of people believe Sarah Palin is not ready to be vice president. That's up 9% from earlier this month. She's not ready, which means we're not ready for John McCain either--he made a BAD CHOICE. At to her political future, if Barack Obama gets elected and he goes up against Palin in 2012, I STILL predict Obama would TROUNCE her. But let's talk about now. This election is too important to choose the wrong candidate, and Obama is clearly THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB. John McCain showed poor judgment by choosing Palin; if he's elected, what's to prevent him from using more poor judgment, possibly at a crucial moment? Barack Obama will lead with intelligence, clear vision, even temperament, and decisive action. HE'LL CUT TAXES FOR 95% OF AMERICANS, he'll create millions of new jobs, he'll fix the economy and make SMARTER decisions about our military and defense. 5 long years later, we're still MIRED DOWN in Iraq WITH NO END IN SIGHT. We desperately need a CHANGE. VOTE BARACK OBAMA! And vote early, this week.

Undecided Voters !!! What is the final litmus test as to whom to vote for on Tuesday? In this crazy World, who do you want to have the keys to the Nuclear Arsenal of the United States? Who do you want as the Guardian of our National Security? Who do you Trust with our State secrets? The answer for me is clearly the candidate who puts America First! The candidate who has already demonstrated the williness to die for his Country? I want a Commander in Chief NOT a Redistributor in Chief. Make the right choice for America Vote McCain - Palin

Here's another chunk of truth...a picture from the dinner Obama attended that the LA Times is trying to hide. inconvenientman.blogspot.com

One of the posters here linked to a photo of Obama at the farewell dinner for pro-Palestinian Khalidi. McCain conveniently is asking the LA Times to release a video of that dinner that it was given in confidence, knowing the newspaper can't release it without the approval of the person who gave it to them. Ironically, John McCain has been a friend to pro-Palestinians, too."During the 1990s, while McCain served as chairman of the International Republican Institute (IRI), the group distributed several grants to the Palestinian research center co-founded by Khalidi." "A 1998 tax filing for the McCain-led group shows a $448,873 grant to Khalidi's Center for Palestine Research and Studies for work in the West Bank, the Post notes. The relationship extends back as far as 1993, when McCain joined IRI as chairman.. Foreign Affairs noted in September of that year that IRI had helped fund several extensive studies in Palestine run by Khalidi's group, including over 30 public opinion polls and a study of "sociopolitical attitudes." Chicago Tribune Maybe some of that $400,000 was used buy bomb equipment to kill innocent Israelis. That means, oh no! McCain sends money to terrorists! Seriously, do you expect statesmen not to associate with people whose politics they don't care for? Only a provincial bumpkin could be that isolationist.

I am a big surprised McCain is creeping up already, i wonder if the liberal illuminati are starting to sweat? If still seems to me that Obama has this think but crazier things have happened right. I think it will be very interesting to see what Obama does as the margins close and he gets more nervous. He has been so smooth to date, i wonder if he's going to crack.

Obama's "to be taxed" list keeps expanding ....now, Seniors with a $50,000 income and over have joined the RICH folks to be taxed...so much for having worked hard and living frugally for 49 years! Dems voting for Mc Cain!

McLeanGirl is talking nonsense. All those associations were pre-911, when those organizations were thought to be helping the POOR PEOPLE of Palistine. It was not until later that they were unmasked as a terrorist front group. Yet, the Communist Organizer had close relationships with unrepentant and convicted terrorists -- foreign and domestic. How can he swear to protect our nation from threats "foreign and domestic" and to "uphold the Constitution" when he has shown to be friendly to the former and antagonistic toward the latter? If you value our safety and sovereignty, you will vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Independent PA Voter - Voting for Obama. McCain is once again promoting his experience vs. Obama's new ideas.... In my mind - McCain's experience equals (=) same ole'thing which is evidenced in his campaign - mudslinging, lies, misleading the american people, internal chaos, in-fighting, erractic and reckless - and this is what experience will get you. Voting for change - votiing for Obama!

http://israelinsider.ning.com/profiles/blogs/2018399:BlogPost:11939 eyewitness source, who Ross calls "a person who has provided useful, accurate and unique data from LA before" writes: Saw a clip from the tape. Reason we can't release it is because statements Obama said to rile audience up during toast. He congratulates Khalidi for his work saying "Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine" plus there's been "genocide against the Palestinian people by Israelis." It would be really controversial if it got out. That's why they will not even let a transcript get out. The eyewitness' use of the word "we" suggests that he is a Times staffer. In a separate development, a European financier, cited by the Atlas Shrugs blog, has offered a $150,000 reward for provision of the tape.

BETTER WAKE UP TO OBAMA'S OTHER PLAN FOR AMERICA !!! This is just the beginning people, remember Hitlers 'Brownshirts' ? We already seen this behavior with Obama when he personally attacked Joe the plumber by mocking him and poking fun of him the very next day since Joe dare to question his policies. Under an Obama Presidency, Barack Obama's Brownshirt goon squads will pattern the same fascists in Nazi Germany. Obama was a founding member of the board of Public Allies in 1992, resigning before his wife Michelle, became executive director of the Chicago chapter of Public Allies in 1993. Obama plans to use the nonprofit group, which he features on his campaign Web site, as the model for a national service corps. He calls his program, "Universal Voluntary Public Service." The real mission is to radicalize American youth and use them to bring about "social change" through threats, pressure, tension and confrontation... the tactics used by the father of community organizing, Saul "The Red" Alinsky". The Obama's want to create a boot camp for radicals who hate the Military and stick the American taxpayers with the bill. Obama plans to fully fund it and expand it into a national program that some see costing $500 billion.

Cyn508 is a typical Obamazombie. "Vote for change"...well change is what you're going to get. Here is the change we're going to get: Loss of Privacy in Union Voting (Union goons coming to employee's houses to get them to join the union) Confiscation of income from hardworking americans to give to people who don't pay income taxes Confiscation of individual 401K plans thru loss of tax deduction of contributions, and comingling of 401K fund with social security Suppression of Free Speech through implementation of the "fairness" doctrine Huge stifling of job growth through increased taxes on capital, investments, and payroll. (sidebar**Obama proves he's a moron by trying to snakeoil sell a $3K tax credit for every net new employee a small business hires. What a moron. It costs on average with salary, benefits, & training $55K to add a new employee. Are business owners going to line up to pay $55K to get a $3K tax credit? Small business add jobs when their growing and their markets are projected to grow. All Obama's policies will do is stifle growth) Cowtowing to dictators like Chavez and Achmijinighad, & Putin Turning more power and our sovereignty over to corrupt organzations like the UN Begin the legal immigration path to 18MM illegal immigrants (future leftwing voters) Yup...that's change.....
