Val: Perhaps Obama should have talked positively about America and the American people and not go to foreign lands to apologize for it.

Perhaps he should have looked to appeal to the real men and women in America and not entertainment industry elites.

Perhaps he should speak positively about American industry and the free market and not extol European Socialism.

Perhaps he should not speak about engineering surrendering in Iraq when victory is in sight.

Perhaps he should talk about the glory of the individual and not the power of the state.


mark: VAL

What a great explanation of Obama. Simple and complete.

Scott Malensek: Maybe Obama will take the "O" off the tail of his plane, put the flag back on, and realize that he hasn't won the election. CBS has it as a dead heat right now, and even the electoral math has it so close that whoever carries OH/PA is the winner.

It took America 19 months to realize Obama's all sizzle and no steak, but better now than later.


Jay J: Wow! McCain beat The ObaMessiah's viewer ratings?! And Gov Palin matched him?! Even as the VP pick?! And without the Baracropolis?! Hahahahah!!!

Watch the Dems now beg for more money to beat those mean and evil Republicans, all while the media continues to talk about Palin's hair and her preggo daughter but continues to ignore Obama's shady corrupt past and circle of "friends".


Ashley: Perceptive article. My family and I attended a rally for Gov Palin in Pennsylvania on 8/30/08, the day after she was announced. Just to get to the packed stadium took us hours due to the clog of people attending, as well. We all then stood in the hot sun, packed in like sardines, for three hours until the program was scheduled to begin. During that time, I had a chance to speak in depth with the ladies around me.

There was a mother who had brought her Down’s Syndrome child and couldn’t contain her enthusiasm, her hope, her joy at a candidate who understood everything this mother was also feeling and also working for her special needs child. (To our delight, Sarah Palin later held this sweet girl in her arms.) There was a PTA mom who was louder in her support than 20 teenage girls could ever be. Her homemade signs were hilarious. Then, there was young woman who works for an energy company in Ohio and was over the moon that a woman with real energy experience—not just talk and posturing—is on the ticket. There was a university worker who was so enthusiastic about Sarah that she had decided to “come out of the closet” at work and admit that was a Republican. (We collectively urged her not to do this for fear of losing her job. Liberals have a near stranglehold on education over here.) And the last woman? She was thrilled that Sarah wore skirts, makeup, long hair and serious heels. In other works, she is a woman who goes about her business actually looking like a woman.

And me? Well, I am one of those Washington elite conservatives (mentioned elsewhere in posts) who has been in the political arena since birth. Literally. When Palin was announced as the VP pick, I cried and clapped and hopped around my kitchen and then cried some more. A United States Governor who worked her way up from the very first rung on the ladder and who is not a millionaire or member of a big name family. She’s pro-business within reasonable limits, in favor of less taxes, clearing out the entrenched government bureaucrats in Washington agencies and bureaus, has serious issues within her family just like the rest of us, and is pro-life. What a day for like-minded women everywhere. And, I might add, for the men who love and respect them.

McCain / Palin ‘08


Daniel Miller: I wonder if Obama's having second thoughts about Biden? Ironically, the "change" he constantly preaches about has arrived in the form of Sarah Palin.


hippie_chucker: Obama's claim about having more "tax cuts for the middle class" is a nonstarter. WTF difference does it make if his corporate taxes have destroyed our economy? If you double the capital gains rates, (keeping in mind we already have one of the WORLDS highest corporate tax rates) HOW WILL THAT NOT HASTEN JOBS MOVING OVERSEAS?
I've talked with a stockbroker who flat out told me he will get killed if the capital gains tax is doubled.

How does giving away money to the middle class, along with government daycare, healthcare, and "free" college tuition stimulate an economy.

Conservatives believe in market forces to grow our economy. Changing the fundamental way our society works will be a disaster. Over 96% of people have jobs right now, so why the rush off the cliff to "Change" things?


Steven Fallon: It is hilarious reading how some feel McCain chose Palin because he wants woman to blindly vote for her. That is the same thing the democrats have done with an unqualified black man - and it worked. Over 90% of blacks say they will vote for him. Why? because he is black. And not only that, they tossed Hillary Clinton, love her or hate her, a woman who has been a loyal democrat for decades, right under the bus. And the dems are also counting on the "young cool" vote with Obama. So who are the voting robots here?

McCain AND Palin's speech attract more viewers than Obama's. THE TRUTH HURTS.


Spencer: I was voting for Obama but McCain and Palin's speeches have just changed my mind. It's apparent that they will actually work for our country. It was bothering me that Obama never really said what he would do - and the over the top speech set up repulsed me.

A Reader: It's amazing how the American voters changed overnight.

Just 24 hours ago they were showing their wisdom by trusting Obama's impressive collection of promises, but all of the sudden they became gullible and are now sold out on a woman who has nothing to offer except authenticity, energy, record of curtailing government waste and corruption, and irrational doctrine "country first".

And she is not even a lawyer nor a member of Washington ole boys network, just a governor of a "tiny, out of way state".

Can you imagine, the gullible people trusting Ms. Populist Governor more then two lawyers on the Democratic ticket?

Bosqcatl: I just made up my mind in the last hour for who I'm voting for POTUS. As a middle class man from A small town, who just lost his job as welder, I'm sick of being told how to feel. I can barely fill up my God Damn gas tank! And I have to buy the bare minimum at the grocery market which barely gets us through the week. I don't want government in my business but I cannot afford health insurance for my entire family of four, so i go without it for me!!!!

This is rediculous! I was mad at Obama for the bitter comment (even tho he just told the truth), and said i would not for him. Truthfully, i really did not want some African American telling me what to do. Yah I said it!

But after that horrible RNC where they said nothing for 4 days, i feel like a stupid idiot! They talked to me like i was in high school. Now I just heard McCain/Palin speak in Wisconsin. THEY SAID NOTHING! Just More jokes and then McCain said I will "Stand For You" and that was it...and walked off the stage!!!!!!! Then I just heard Obama at the same time in Scranton, NJ. He talked about jobs and cleab coal technilogy and Lowering Taxes FOR ME...For ME...For ME who makes under $250,000...That's ME! Then he said he'd give tax breakes for corporations who employ people here in the USA!!!! And penalize companies who ship jobs overseas!!! YES!!!!

It was the first time i really gave him a chance. The guy is smart. I don't want another dumb president.


I just made up my mind. I don't want to hear anymore scare tactics and stupid highschool jokes...Obamabots and all that dumb crap! They made me hate Obama for nothing, now Obama made me respect him. Man to Man...I now respect this guy. My man Bill O'Rielly respects him now too for being tough!

After watching both stump speeches. It is clear!

I'm voting Obama/Biden to lower my taxes, support pro american corporations, penalize these BASTARDS who ship our jobs away, get and keep healthcare so i can be around to help my family when i get back on my feet! And i Will get back on my feet!

Do what the hell you want, but i'm tired of the dumb, stupid crap!


Now for Obama/Biden
