McCain has run erratic, disappointing campaign....
[I]t's as if McCain has lost his way, forfeiting principle for gain of a few points in the polls. He put on hold his long-sought quest for comprehensive immigration reform. Though widely regarded as a man of honor, he has overseen a campaign premised on purposeful distortions about Obama and his record.
Worst of all, in grasping for political edge in his choice of a running mate, he burdened his ticket and potentially the country with an individual utterly unqualified to ascend to the presidency. Before choosing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, McCain emphasized the importance of experience and sound judgment in fighting terrorism and confronting a restive Russia and a rising China. He has also questioned Obama's readiness to be commander in chief. Then he picked a running mate who clearly isn't ready.
somewhere in the back of that crowd, a guy wearing a tinfoil hat can barely be heard yelling "but he's a terrorist!!!"

The Anchorage Daily News, the largest paper in Sarah Palin's state, endorsed Barack Obama for President:
Quote:
Gov. Palin's nomination clearly alters the landscape for Alaskans as we survey this race for the presidency -- but it does not overwhelm all other judgment. The election, after all is said and done, is not about Sarah Palin, and our sober view is that her running mate, Sen. John McCain, is the wrong choice for president at this critical time for our nation.
Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand. The same cannot be said of Sen. McCain.
The final paragragh, from those who know Palin best is the real kicker:
Quote:
Yet despite her formidable gifts, few who have worked closely with the governor would argue she is truly ready to assume command of the most important, powerful nation on earth. To step in and juggle the demands of an economic meltdown, two deadly wars and a deteriorating climate crisis would stretch the governor beyond her range. Like picking Sen. McCain for president, putting her one 72-year-old heartbeat from the leadership of the free world is just too risky at this time.
Interesting article over at ABC news. One of their columnists writes about he's disgusted with how deep in the tank his co-workers are for Obama and speculates that the "old" media (ex: newspapers, network news) are pulling for Obama in large part because they believe that he'll regulate "new" media and make it easier for the mainstream press to avoid having to compete.
So, we have the "free" press pulling for candidate who will gut the First Amendment. Amazing.
I was thinking that Isreal would be scared if Obama wins because more than likely Iran is going to try something right awya probably before spring of 09. And Obama will not get involved.....I gurantee it. He'll use some bullshit excuse saying are military is too spent because of Bush and he'll watch Israel burn and then call for both sides to show restraint.
The positive is though that Israel who listens to the USA right now when we tell them not to invade Iran or other middle east countries will no longer listen to us and probably nuke Iran and fuck anyone else up that gets in their way. Basically if America votes Obama in they will be responsible for WWIII.
Obama will use the UN as his alibi, he will want to seek permission from the security council which everyone not brainwashed by Obama knows will drag out a negotiation led by Russia. Our only hope is Israel retaliates with overwhelming force. The bad side is we lose protection from God once we turn our backs on them. But if your a closet Muslim, I guess it wouldn't matter.

A lot of people think this scenario, or something quite like it, is what Biden meant when he said that Obama would be "tested" and that people would be upset by what he did.
I wonder how much of the Jewish vote he will actually get on Nov. 4. I hope there is a way to tell for real and not what they say. I mean guys like Steven Spielberg are so far to the left they are only Jewish now because it's trendy in Hollywood. They don't give a shit about Israel. But I could see a guy Like Adam Sandler voting for McCain since he is so proud of his Jewish Heritage. Just two examples. The everyday ordinary Jews I think will take a long hard look at Hussein and say uh no thank you.
sometimes I'm astounded that the democrat party hasn't collapsed under the weight of its own internal tension. they're expecting that jews and muslims, blacks and hispanics (at least the ones who will actually vote for them) will not only get along with each other but also with all the feminists, gays, and hippies.
Who's they? I've treated her far better than what many on this board would have if she were a democrat. She would have been slapped with the femanazi label & called a cunt. Me, I want to hear what she has to say but sadly the McCain campaign doesn't feel she's ready & won't allow her.

The far left is they. You aren't the far left for sure, though you turn a blind eye to their atrocities against America now that your moderate candidate has been railroaded by them.
Palin speaks everyday, her ideas are a matter of record, go ahead and believe the Olberman's of the world who say she is muzzled and don;t read her speeches or watch her talk on TV.
A local Orlando TV station interviewed Joe Biden recently(yesterday?), this anchor nails Biden on Obama's socialist views, Biden gives the standard cookie cutter answers, but she knocks him out of the water. I read that today Obama's campaign has blacklisted the station:
It's nice to see true journalism again.
Biden rambled as usual. He was too afraid to address Obama's redistribution policies and ended up resorting to a reactionary tactic that has the temerity to try and spin Marxism on Bush.
'Bush is the one who's been redistributing money upward.'
That's one hell of a gaffe. Probably wouldn't have happened if he wasn't so dead set on replying to whatever she said with, "failed Bush policies." This is especially sad since he's allowed himself to tag along with a man who thinks there's nothing wrong with the idea that money can trickle upward.

And this is why you guys are so far behind. This is exactly how you guys view America. Everyone needs to be at each others throats and divided. Obama's message since he emerged on the national stage 4 years ago has been one of unity and common purpouse, not of this division that you speak of and the gOp exploits election after election.

kool-aid man's empty rhetoric aside, I've seen enough of each of these people groups with my own eyes to know that policy can't be made to dictate reality. and away from the carefully-edited rose-colored (pinko-colored?) world the lefty media would love for you to buy into, my own eyes tell me that no matter who gets into the white house, those groups and plenty of other groups are still gonna be at odds for a long time to come. face it - you can't legislate human nature. far behind? in the words of my (still dead) friend heath, 'I'm just ahead of the curve!'
I seem to recall one or two other charismatic leaders over the years who espoused "unity" and "national purpose" and who also complained about the "constraints" on government....

You've "seen"?? What's the matter, actual interaction with "these groups" too scary for you?
STFU with your 'observations' from afar. Ever look into a McCain crowd as opposed to an Obama crowd? Or a RNC crowd as opposed to a DNC one. The differences are pretty stark. Obama and DNC crowds look like America. McCain and RNC crowds look like a suburban Rhode Island Presbyterian congregation.
Where exactly do you live anyways? you know I live in l.A. which next to New York is probably the most multicultural city on the face of the Earth. So we here don't make bullshit divisive observations from a safe distance. We live multiculturalism and diversity every single day. It's amazing how fearful you right wingers are of the changing nation and how you still cling o the divide and conquer philosophy which pretty much most people have rejected in embracing Obama.
