Who Are They?
Reply
Campaign politics have taken us down
The dark abyss where souls are sold
Where prime-time smiles and heroes drown
In vainglory and in old war tales too often told.
Forgetting duty and country for cronies and clan
They lynch the name of a Christian man
Make him foreign. Call him Abdul and Hussein.
Is this the shining maverick, John Sidney McCain?
Your friend now comes to America’s towns
With Exxon’s beauty queen and paid for clowns
Cloaked as witch hunting populists with glossy lips
Flag-waving bootlickers from big oil politics.
Who are these candidates - slingers of hate,
Farmers of racism, cutters of bait?
Indifferent to hunger, poverty, and war
As usual, they’ve come for your vote once more.-

Wow! That was great SC.. I am going to send the link to my sister. I almost have her converted, but it's been hard. She was married to a republican for almost 50 years before he passed away. During that time, she strayed from her roots, but i think she's taking a more informed and intelligent view of things now, instead of having someone TELL her how to vote.

Now i have to start working on my other sister too, same case scenerio, except her husband still tells her how to vote. I am so glad my husband tells me to vote my conscience, and he will do the same! -

That's great n2n. One of my friends who was sitting on the fence about this election has given up considering McCain since the nature of his campaign...that McCain had broken his promise about keeping his campaign about the issues and not character assassinations. My friend, Nick, told me this after viewing the video this morning. Glad to hear you will send this around. Keep up the good work!

Just some added views.
It's late in the campaign, Palin and McCain are still out and about.
They fly here, swoop there and scurry to and fro.
Wherever they go, party politics,hatred and lies they spout.
Palin with "Say it ain't so Joe" While McCain asserts "I know, I know."
"Barrack Hussein Obama" they cry out to a receiving crowd.
Opening the gathering using a name to inflame.
Acting surprised when the anger gets loud.
It is to their own sorrow and name they defame.
America awaits the dethroning of Bush with a hopeful eye.
McCain and Palin want more of the same.
We have become weary of the same old lie.
A vote for McCain and Palin is a vote for the lame.
Just thought I'd add a little fuel to the fire so to speak. LMAO hahhahahahahaa
Hope you don't mind. -

You want another Carter I guess. Obama and Carters fiscal policies are the same. Stagflation here we come. High unemployment peaking at 10%. Inflation at 12%. mortgage rates over 20% at times.

Sounds great to me. I had great raises then just to slip behind in what my money would buy.

Listen to the far left call names. No facts just names. Beautiful presentation to hate speech. Such a thing to be proud of spadecaller.

Why don't you do one about Obama and what he has done?
With Ayres he funneled money from the foundations to very left wing education projects teaching revolutionary ideas that Ayres put into practice as a weather Underground bomber.
There was the money from Ayres and Obama's foundations to ACORN (a very left wing organization) and his teaching their staff. They went out and attacked banks pushing for the CRA loans that helped bring down the financial mess we are in.
Obama even represented ACORN in a suit against Citibank trying to force them to make more bad loans.
Stymied for a while because Fannie and Freddy would not take the risky mortgages ACORN went as a lobbyist to congress to push reform of CRA in 1990. They kept the lobbying up and in 1992 Clinton became president and the reform to CRA was passed and through 1995 the rest of their reforms took effect along with the reforms to CRA.
Obama has given $800,000 to ACORN from his campaign contributions and now they are being investigated for voter registration fraud.
Then there is Rezco and his close association to the Daley corrupt machine. He helped Obama get elected to his first office.
Rezco brokered a sweetheart deal for a house for Obama. Low interest and broke up the property for him.
Obama wrote letters to the state offices on behalf of Rezco.
Obama fought diligently against a bipartisan group of legislators who were trying to stop the corruption in Chicago. Obama spoke and voted against this group.
Obama voted several times against the right of a baby born after a botched abortion. He voted to keep allowing live babies to be put in the garbage or left on a shelf to die.
He was so conscientious about the legislation he voted present almost 130 times.
If spadecaller is true to form I will be compared to Hitler. If he is up to date with the latest Democrat talking points I am a racist because I am against Obama. Which will it be spadecaller?-

Endo, you are such a loser! You never read articles, you never watch the videos, but you jump in and start the same old garbage on every thread! Scared of Karma, are you?

Where was the "voter fraud" squad when Bushie had Katherine Harris and Jeb help him steal Fla in 2000? Now you are scared to death that Obama just may get an illegal vote and you rant it ad nauseam!
Rezko brokered a sweet deal,, how many times have i read your lies on that issue?
I don't think you're a racist because you're not for Obama, i think you're a wacked out winger who wouldn't cross a party line if it meant saving your whole family from fates worse than death. It's all about winning to the likes of you and your ilk, and nothing takes priority to that. -

ACORN, did someone whine about ACORN and its efforts to help the poor exercise their constitutionally guaranteed right to vote?

Maybe you should take it up with this guy? He was for ACORN before he was against it.

Isn`t is funny how its ok for Bush to be directly connected to the bin ladin family through family business connections, like Ayers & Obama, and Bush actually let the bin Ladin family escape without questioning after 9/11 without the FBI being able to interrogate the family of the man behind 9/11. This even though two of OBL`s brothers in America were on the FBI`s terrorist watch list. That is ok because bush is a Republican and Republicans don`t give a ****e about the 9/11 victims.
Reply
When Rove told Rezko that he knew about the outing of Plame before Rove told the investigators he knew, that was ok because Rove is a Republican, right?
Why didn`t Bush invite Rezko back to the WH for another Christmas dinner with Laura this year? A little too hot? And here we were told they were close buddies.
Neil Bush made $5M off of NCLB in Fla, selling non-NCLB certified to the schools of FLA thereby gouging the taxpayers while giving subpar quality education to their children in return. His NCLB biz is booming.
How about the Bush family tight relations with the Moonies? You voted for Bush twice despite their close ties over the past three decades. What`s up, you`re not a hypocrite are ya??
Reagan/Bush/Rumsfeld/Cheney connected to Saddam Hussein. Did you forget? How about the Contras? Your hero Reagan was buddy-buddy with the American nun-raping and murdering Contras. Ollie North, the former traitor, enemy enabler, and drug smuggler is now a Fox host.
McCain was the worst of the Keating Five, yet whined his POW way out of taking responsibility for that. He`s given away many entitlements and interfered with the FCC on behalf of his lover/lobbyist Vicki Iseman. Bush/McCain are responsibility for all the thousands of babies, born and unborn, that were killed in Iraq. -

"Old news to me. This is why I and many other Republicans find it hard to support [McCain]".
Endo, the concern I have is that, based on past statements of yours like the quote above, I'm not sure that you cons know who *you* are anymore. ;-(

I don't even think about you, Endo. But, I am sure you have good reason to be so defensive.-

I only go by your past posts. You like to make Christians and Hitler be the same. The current fad is to call anybody against Obama a racist. Your post this time has hate speech in it.

These lines all exude hate. But you think it is simple truth you are so biased. You accuse the opposition of what you are doing. Accusing a former prisoner of war of "forgetting duty and country for cronies and clan". You should be ashamed. This is what you are all about I guess. Spewing hate and being blind to it.

Obama was seven years old when Ayres was planning terrorist plots. Look at the bradblog for the latest on the ACORN lie. Rezko, puhleeze! The abortion thing nonsense. You have only spouted lie after lie and propaganda. Don't you conservatives get it? This technique of personal attacks isn't working! It only sounds good to the people that are spouting it. It does nothing for the rest of the people. McCain himself realized it's not working. When are the hell of the rest of you going to wake up!?!

Then they worked side by side and were friends for several years. The Woodes and Annenburg foundations giving money to ACORN and groups that taught the revolutionary concepts that Ayres had as a terrorist. Obama also steered money to Ayres from the Annenburg as well. In the middle of this the picture of Ayres standing on the US flag was run in the Chicago papers.

Your hero who had nothing to do with Ayres.

Thanks for this Spadecaller.

And it was on target. The mention of McCain only once and to put a name to who everyone knows is speaking what your poem illustrates.
And yes, they want your vote. So did Bush.
And too many gave it. Now we wonder what we would have had these past four years if we hadn't listened to the hate speech in 04. -

"The liberals" ...One has to be a bigot to lump a whole group into one category. If you have difficulty understanding the term, "bigot", look it up in the dictionary.
Not all supporters of McCain and Palen are racists and bigots; but more than enough are. One has to be blind deaf and dumb or in denial to refute that. Even McCain "appears" to be ashamed of many of his supporters...or is that another fact to overlook?-
