If Osama Obama loses the election, we can expect a huge backlash over it.
Reply
The demoRats will come out into the streets by the thousands, causing all kinds of chaos, riots and everything else will be coming. So, we must ALL vote Osama Obama to prevent this coming catastrophe. Think I'm wrong, well then, vote for McCain and see what happens. We have no choice but to vote for Obama to keep our country from going NUTS! I can't wait!-

You people are teetering on the brink of insanity. You don't have to vote for Obama but you should if you have any sense unless you make more than 100k a year as an individual or 250k as a family. If you make that much what are you complaining about?

If you still believe in trickle down economics you have truly gone over the edge. It didn't work under Reagan and it certainly hasn't worked the last 8 years.-

If you are making 250k a year regardless of how you make it you should be sitting pretty. If you aren't you are a fool. Another 1k in taxes isn't going to hurt you. We need to start paying our debts and the fortunate ones among us need to pay their fair share. The hardest working people I know are some of the most poorly paid. Next year we will pay around 450 Billion in interest without paying a dime on the debt before we even get to any spending that actually makes a difference to a US citizen. Further enriching the Chinese and our other debt holders including OPEC nations. We must get our deficit and off budget spending under control. Trickle down and tax cuts for the rich have been a massive failure. Don't blame the Dems, they haven't had any veto power in 8 years. Bush hasn't bothered to use his. Why? The decision to go to war and cut taxes on the wealthiest Americans at the same time spurred many of the problems we see today. It was a signal to the country and our financial institutions that fiscal responsibility was no longer of central importance.

Wolfie2007: "Better bankruptcy than Obama."
Reply
You may get your wish.

"The video show everyone Obama has lied to them again."
The video shows nothing of the sort. All he promised was that he would listen to community organizations across the country? Does the US have only one community organization? -

Canadians shouldn't even have a say in this election or forum....Being located in a Socialist country and primarily liberal, of course, you clows are going to want us to vote for a liberal socialist, so we can be like YOUR liberal country and other European countries and we can all sit around a campfire and sing "Kumbaya" while sipping "hoity-toity" lattes....I don't think so ....Go back to your country and shut your pie hole...
Reply
This is OUR country, FOR the people....NOT for Canada...
So, we really could care less what you have to say....Because at the end of the day, we don't want to be like your Socialist country and I for one, will make sure everyone I meet and run across knows about Obama's lies and socialist agenda...
Even if I convert one voter over to McCain....just ONE...Makes me extremely happy because unlike Michelle Obama, I AM proud of America for good or bad and I don't think America is a mean country.....I believe in this country and the traditional way it has been run....The conservative way, not the whack-job, loony-a$$ liberal way....
So, you can put THAT in your maple leaf and smoke it....-

Perhaps you can educate us on how one would smoke a maple leaf, I know that we bag them up every fall to be taken away for recycling. But I digress.
Listen you "F." perhaps you need to be reminded "AGAIN!" we currently have CANADIAN TROOPS " fighting the real war on terror in Afghanistan, side by side
with your AMERICAN lads also.
SO when you say crap like...
"Canadians shouldn't even have a say in this election or forum ."
I have to say...How UN - AMERICAN OF YOU !

I'm sorry. You think that because Canada is ALSO fighting against terrorism that you somehow have a right to poke you nose into OUR elections? How do you get to THAT conclusion? By that reasoning, there are several OTHER countries that we must (apparently) listen to in that regard. And of course, our Constitution guarantees US freedom of speech - not YOU. In fact, I'm not sure YOUR Constitution has any such guarantee. I don't really know because IT'S NOT MY BUSINESS. Take a hint...

Well, joeblow'e, your sorry? Right....You know what I don't recall reading that the forum of politics is only for Americans. If you don't want to read or listen to Canadians comments then don't, if you don't like the opinions expressed, I guess all I can say is I'm sorry!

Where did spkguy say that you have to listen to us? All he said was that we have the right to speak. Feel free to ignore what we say. America hasn't listened to anyone until now, so why would it start now?
If fighting for your cause doesn't give one the right to speak, how about taxation. I pay US taxes, but I shouldn't even be allowed to express an opinion? How does it go: "No taxation without representation"?
You see, the problem is that our election doesn't influence your life, so you can remain as ignorant about our affairs as you please, but your elections profoundly influence our lives, so we need to be informed and we will express our opinions whether you like it or not. As I said above, just ignore us if you don't like what we say.
I didn't answer to FSU because there is no point debating with him, but you are an intelligent person, or so I thought until now, so think about what I've said. If you want, that is. After all, I'm just an ignorant, obnoxious foreigner who shouldn't be allowed near a keyboard.

Your rabid hatred of anything different from the status quo will be McCain's undoing. Keep it up. Keep pushing your hate. It only makes the case against McCain stronger.

Keep booing McCain when he talks about Obama as a human being. Keep letting that baffoon Palin shove her whole leg in her mouth. Assure Obama a victory and an end to the Bush regime.

As I have said many times before,educate yourself on anything you are to vote on,know the background not just the Media Hype. Do the research on any subject and check the sources. No it isn't easy, but your decisions affect not only your life but others around you. This is supposed to be an election for president not PR rock star. You are hiring the CEO of Firm USA. Who do you want to run the firm, a manager with over 25 years experience or the newly hired stockboy?

If you complain about Palin's experience to be VP candidate where does that leave Obama? She has more real experience than he has. Or is Obama really running as Biden's VP?

GOP's ACORN 'Voter Fraud' Lie Ramped Up
I had been intending to post an answer to the ongoing -- and quickly escalating -- ACORN smears being issued of late by the GOP enemies of democracy out there, who have decided to intensify their unsubstantiated assaults on the community organization, given its effectiveness at registering millions of low-income voters across the country....
... Doubtless you've heard the smears by now: that ACORN is committing "voter fraud", on behalf of Obama, in hotly contested swing states. The media has been all too happy to pass that garbage on, without bothering to note that, in fact, the organization attempts to authenticate every registration form their workers submit and by law they must turn in every form to election officials -- even if they find a registration to be fraudulent when they call the phone number submitted on the form, or if the forms are otherwise suspect or incomplete.
They do so, and they flag all questionable registration forms as being suspect before turning them in to officials.
The thanks they receive for registering millions of new voters that nobody else has bothered with, and for notifying officials about questionable registration forms when they turn them in, is that the GOP's democracy-hating propagandists and election officials run to the media shouting, "ACORN is committing voter fraud! They've turned in hundreds and thousands of fraudulent registration forms!"
Of course they have. They have to by law. But what those GOP despots of democracy always forget to mention is that it was ACORN themselves who notified officials about the potentially fraudulent and/or incomplete forms in the first place!
For the quickest idea of how the GOP ACORN scam has run amok, dutifully forwarded by the often clueless corporate media, and then the rightwing wankers in the blogosphere who are only to happy to help enable those who are lying to them -- by putting truth, democracy and country second -- take a look at the following game of rightwing "blogosphere telephone" concerning a recent news conference called by a Lake County, Indiana GOP chair in order to sound the phony alarm about "fraud" committed by ACORN....

You Betcha there Obama. ACORN is shaping you up to be a phony, lying, worthless, cheating, voter fraud pile of CRAP DemoRat! The problem we have is getting the word to the public about all this. Again, most of the media is coving all this up, to protect their sweet innocent little Osama Obama. PUKE ME!

Keep in mind that the whole GOP ACORN "campaign" is an effort to dupe the gullible and cover up real theft of VOTES (as opposed to registrations).

Vote Rigging and Suppression Ahead of the 2008 Election
Election Day is less than a month away, and a record-breaking voter turnout is expected in the 2008 race. But voting rights groups are warning that tens of thousands of registered voters might not be able to cast a ballot come November 4th.
Beyond the documented problems of electronic voting machines, thousands of names have been purged from the rolls in several states, including at least six swing states.
Democrats and Republicans are locked in court battles over these in a number of states across the country. While Democrats say they’re trying to prevent attempts to block votes, Republicans say they are trying to prevent voter fraud.
BBC investigative journalist Greg Palast travels to New Mexico, Michigan and Colorado to investigate how both Democrats and Republicans are accusing each other of trying to steal the election.

ACORN Response to Senator McCain's Smear Ad
Reply
October 10, 2008
"ACORN President Maude Hurd released the following statement today in response to the McCain campaign's new ad claiming that, among other things, ACORN is responsible for the mortgage crisis:
"For almost a decade, ACORN, a community organization of 400,000 families in neighborhoods across the country, has been fighting against the predatory lending practices that have robbed our members of their homes, destabilized neighborhoods, and roiled the global economy.
""In his newest ad, John McCain's campaign bizarrely claims, 'ACORN forced banks to issue risky home loans, the same types of loans that caused the financial crisis we're in today.' Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, ACORN has worked successfully to help working class families get good home loans on fair terms from legitimate banks and has fought vigorously against predatory lenders who have ripped off families in our communities. These predatory loans caused the crisis."

This has been the problem from day one with this candidate. The DNC failed to properly vet him when he first came out. He read one speech at the DNC rally in 04 and they all jumped on his hope and change band wagon. For the last year the media has been covering stuff up. I love when you ask about Ayers or Wright rather than asking him to explain this, they bring up a meeting McCain had with Fr. Flagger or that McCain said or did something 20 years ago. When things were brought up, McCain did something Barrack hasn't done, apologias. Barrack has never explained how he could sit in a church listening to the hate against white Americans and Jews. He's never explained how he can sit with a convicted unrepentant terrorist who belonged to a group that fire bombed many buildings and homes. Obama hasn't explained a whole lot of anything. Like how he plans to bring both sides to a table when he's never once talked with conservatives. I mean outside of the debates.

Obviously you watch a lot of Fox News and my guess would be that you have listened to Limbaugh. They brag about the millions they reach. Are the pathetic networks, MSNBC, and the NYT too much of a match for these conservative "truth" machines? Limbaugh brags he has something around 25 million listeners and Fox constantly trumpets they are #1 on cable. But they can't get the truth out? Why, because it isn't the truth and just enough of America has woken up to that fact to make this a much more interesting race than the past two presidential elections. These recent smear attempts on Obama are simply pathetic. But watch, they will somehow work. And if we get to election day and Diebold has to do their thing to maintain corporate control of America don't be surprised. But this time many Americans may not take these results sitting down.

"For more than a decade, ACORN members have held protests, released reports, and advocated for regulations to protect homeowners from predatory lenders. ACORN organizers and volunteers have been working day and night to help victims of the GOP economic meltdown to save their homes from foreclosure. In fact, ACORN has brought class action lawsuits against several predatory lenders, and has lobbied the Federal Reserve and Congress in support of regulations against predatory lending. ACORN has even been successful in convincing many lenders to treat homeowners more fairly and help families be able to make their mortgage payments and save their homes.
Reply
"Unfortunately, the Bush administration and Congressional Republicans like John McCain have blocked the sensible regulations that ACORN and others proposed that would have averted the mortgage meltdown. If John McCain thinks that community organizers caused the foreclosure crisis, he knows even less about the economy than previously thought.
"John McCain and the Republicans are desperately trying to shift the blame for the economic crisis they caused with a philosophy of deregulation and indifference to homeowners. All the grainy footage and creepy music in the world can't cancel out some simple, basic facts, and the facts about the economy are not on John McCain's side." -

So the moral of this story is McCain is failing and now his sad sack con followers (most of whom would have spit in his face a year ago because of his position on immigration reform) are flailing. It's comical, embarrassing and sad to watch cons trampling one another in a stampede of panic, fear, and silly prancing because they know their days of welfare, impunity, free rides, reckless tax cuts, cheap gas they can burn up without regard for the rest of the planet and their ability to pollute the airwaves with shout right wing radio 24/7 (we're bringing the Fairness Doctrine back, silly cons, so none of this horsecrap that's gone on since Bush got in office will ever be allowed to happen again--goodbye to the MSM as we know it). In short The Chimp and Con Crap Carnival will be SHUT DOWN. Finally. ;-(
