DISQUS

This election has brought out the absolute worst in this country. To some McCain and Palin can do no wrong even though the evidence says otherwise. This country, founded over 200 years ago only afforded black Americans the right to vote when Obama was 4 years old (1965) That is paramount in understanding what this campaign is faced with.

why does obama throw more money to solve problems ? a new stimulis will add huge to the deficet,why did he EARMARK $1 BILLION to his home state? why has he and others take money from freddie mac? why does his vp pick biden use money from his pac fund to pay his $50,000 amtrak transportation to and from washington? this needs to be counted as income and not some pac fund? why are they still collecting $500.00 per day while not working for there home state? these pac funds hold $100's of MILLIONS of dollars and it is not taxed as income this loophole needs to shut down ,this would raise millions in taxes,this is income just like the watress's tips are taxed ,look up your senator at www.opensecrets.org see if they have a pac fund? who gives to it and who the pac fund gives money too?

and to think biden said if a woman stands behind the president it is a step backward for women? I sure don't want this guy a heartbeat from the presidency?

ya washington is broke ,I know how to fix it? obama wants higher teacher pay HUH? well will this idea work for washington? more pay?

gee if obama gets in it will be more monney for all kinds? senate makes $500.00 per day 365 days a year and ya don't even need to be there to collect it? you can run for another job and still get the money?

wasn't it the democrats that wanted people making $100,000 get a 300 stimulis check that our grandkids will end up paying for? wonder how much of obamas plans our grandkids will end up paying?

What seems odd to me is that so many Dems, pols and press, act surprised and dumbfounded that Palin has proved popular for--wow! Two whole weeks! As if her appeal was no greater than that of a pet rock or some other fad. If they were honest, they would have to say that their amazement stems from the fact that their gutter attempts to quickly destroy her haven't worked.

You have to understand the difference--folks genuinely connect with Palin, a stark contrast to the media-driven popstardom of Obama, which is why Tom here has to admit that he is still a mystery to Americans despite that stardom. Because of this shallowness, Obama will stop being "popular" the second the press and party that built him abandons him, which will happen when he is no longer useful; Palin will have to be torn down by force.
