He's taken his campaign staff from Michigan, which means he's given up on that state.


And, today he's @ home, not on the road ,on the campaign trail???

Watch for his ads. They say he's going totally negative. Republicans don't have anything to offer the American people, so they use racism, lies, scare tactics to win. It's worked for them for a long time. McCain has said he'd run an honorable campaign, now we'll really see how honorable John McCain is.

Maybe he is just going after the Democratic vote, we all know how you guys respond to racism and lies!

Maybe he will find some pictures of Obama with acne or something, you know something similiar to them nice adds the Liberals put out of McCain's scars after surgery. You know them up building and honorable Democratic adds!

You are a hypocritical idiot!

McCain Will Take the Gloves Off

The McCain campaign (read: Steve Schmidt) has decided that being a war hero is not good enough, being a POW is not good enough, being a maverick is not good enough, and being a reformer is not good enough, so the mud is about to start flying. The campaign has pulled all its positive ads touting McCain's experience and long service to the country. From now on, the entire focus will be on Barack Obama's associations with convicted Chicago developer Tony Rezko, 1960s radical William Ayers, and Obama's former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. It is a high-risk gamble, but McCain loves to roll the dice.

But this fierce new strategy has two potential downsides. First, while partisan Republicans will love it (as they loved Sarah Palin's convention speech), negative ads don't always work so well with independents, whose votes are now crucial to both sides. Second, there is a very real danger that either Obama, or more likely, Democratic 527s will start throwing mud right back at McCain. A few choice subjects for negative ads are (1) his taking bribes from convicted felon Charles Keating in the 1980s, (2) the fact that he is an old man who has had a very dangerous form of cancer four times, and (3) the way he divorced his crippled first wife to marry a beer heiress worth $100 million. Clearly Schmidt knows all this but apparently he feels he has to shake things up before it is too late. It is going to get real messy.

I have to agree with oldtimer on this one -- when the truth finally comes out about Barack Huessein Obama it's "going to get real messy"
How can people be so blind --

Heres more of the same article-- I doubt if Obama directly throws mud at McCain or Palin- being better off to concentrate on the economy-which is going to get much worse before it gets better--and the connections to McCain and "Foreclosure Phils" deregulate everything, let the Fatcats police themselves theory.....

But the 527's will bring up everything Bush/Rove used in 2000- plus Palin, who's still on very shakey ground even amongst some of the conservatives....

Alaska Supreme Court to Hear Troopergate Appeal

If the Democrats want to get nasty, another line of attack is Troopergate, the story around Sarah Palin's firing Alaska's commissioner of public safety for refusing to dismiss her estranged brother-in-law. This story is back in the news again because the Alaska supreme court has agreed to hear an emergency appeal from laywers trying to shut down the investigation, even though it was ordered by the Republican-controlled state legislature. The two sides will present oral arguments next Wednesday and the court will rule on Thursday. A report from the retired prosecutor hired by the legislature to investigate the matter, Steve Branchflower, is due Friday. If Branchflower determines that Palin abused her authority as governor to settle a family score, she will be in for withering criticism and McCain will have to answer questions about how good he is at vetting personnel. It would be much better for him if the whole investigation would just go away.

I don't doubt that Obama had rather talk about issues, but since McCain's view is the same as Bush's, he's not in a position to do that. So he'll do what Republicans have done for the last two elections: personal attacks and lies. I don't see Obama going back at him, but the 527s can come back online pretty quick. And I think they will.

Obama has a lead in two of the biggest issues on voter's minds today: Healthcare: McCain offers a rehash of Bush's healthcare plan. Iraq: McCain offers us more of Bush's disasterous Iraq war. Obama doesn't have a magic formula for getting this country back on track. In fact, he's said that if he's elected, he'll have to cut back some of his proposed spending programs because of the financial crisis Bush is leaving this country in. But if he's elected and can get us back on track during his first term......

Altho personaly I believe we/the US/Repubs lost all conservative values long before the bailout- shortly after the election of GW- and whatever mud McCain throws the people don't want another Bush or Repub....

This isn't just a McCain problem- this is a total Repub problem:

We also have 1 House poll and it could be the handwriting on the wall. NM-02 is a solid (R+6) Republican district. This is the seat Steve Pearce vacated to run for the Senate. Despite the district's leaning, Democrat Harry Teague is ahead of Republican Edward Tinsley 47% to 43%. If Republicans are having trouble holding open seats in solid Republican districts, they could be in real trouble in many other House districts that haven't been polled.

Current projected results from the polls:

electoral college:
Obama 338 McCain 185 Ties 15

Senate Dem 58 GOP 42

House Dem 242 GOP 192 Ties 1

I HOPE what we see is McCain bringing up all the crap in Obama's history;

1) The earmark his wife's employer got and her subsequent hefty raise.
2) Obama getting a sweetheart real estate deal from a guy who relied on politicins (like Obama) getting money to fund projects that this individual profitted from - and who is now in jail for fraud.
3) Obama hanging out and associating politically with unrepentant domestic terrorists.
4) Obama belonging to racist organizations who give awards to people such as Louis Farrakhan.
5) Obama making racist comments himself (as would be expected from somebody who belongs to a racist organization)
6) His involvement with ACORN
7) How he got his opponents thrown off the ballot so he could run unopposed for the Illinois State House.

These are just a few things that I could come up with off the top of my head. McCain doesn't have to do anything negetive, he can just bring up facts - doesn't even have to stretch the truth at all. Frankly, I don't understand why he hasn't done so already. He could bring up an "Obama shady bastard" story per week for half a year.

Obama About to Be Hit on Questionable Associates
October 04, 2008 10:28 AM

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the FBI is looking into whether or not former Obama pal Tony Rezko -- convicted in June of attempted extortion, mail and wire fraud, and aiding and abetting bribery -- paid for all or part of $90,000 worth work on the Northwest Side Chicago home of Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Rezko apparently liked helping out his politician pals on their real estate transactions. As you may recall, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and Rezko's wife, Rita, bought adjacent properties in a controversial and complicated series of real estate transactions, one of which Obama later called "boneheaded" because it might cause people to think he'd been done a favor in exchange for something untoward, which he denies is the case. Rezko at the time was under federal investigation.

A federal judge Wednesday froze more than $100,000 of Rezko's cash. Rezko's sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 28.

The conservative Judicial Confirmation Network is running a TV ad tying Obama to not just Rezko, but William Ayers (now using cartoons to spread his ideas) and the bombastic Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

"We don't know who Barack Obama would choose" as a Supreme Court justice, the ad says, "but we know this. He chose as one of his first financial backers a slumlord now convicted on 16 counts of corruption. Obama chose as an associate a man who helped to bomb the Pentagon and said he 'didn't do enough.' And Obama chose as his pastor a man who has blamed America for the 9/11 attacks."


There's also a curious story bubbling out there about a former Obama poker buddy, Will County Executive Larry Walsh, and questions leveled by a political opponent about Walsh's connections to a county contractor.

It's unclear that Walsh did anything remotely wrong, but, hey, it's October.

Meaning?

Meaning you should expect to hear much more about these Obama associates -- some questions fair, others not; many associates legitimately slimy, others mere road kill on this political Autobahn -- in this last full month of the campaign.

To wit: the Washington Post reports that Sen. John McCain's campaign -- convinced that the maverick thing alone isn't working -- is about to open up a can of whoop-ass on Obama with a focus on his personal associations.

"We're going to get a little tougher," a senior Republican operative tells the Post. "We've got to question this guy's associations. Very soon. There's no question that we have to change the subject here."

Fasten your seatbelts!

IT"S ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!


Talk radio has been calling for this for a long, long time. I was elated when I heard this on Fox News tonight.

The single reason that Obama is 1.) the democratic presidential nominee and 2.) "leading in the polls", is that the masses have no idea what Barry Hussein Obama is really about or what he really stands for. Oh, sure, there's the far left, wacko, kool-aid drinkers that would vote for the devil himself if there was a "D" after his name (Oldtimer, don, Kola, fff, etc.), but the vast majority of people have no idea what Obama is really about.

I hope they pull out all the stops on this campaign. There is so much information that desperately needs to get out. People have got to become informed, and the mainstream media is NOT going to do it. Journalism is dead and gone. It's going to be up to the alternative media and the McCain campaign itself to get the truth out there.

McCain/Palin is by no means the perfect ticket, but God help us if Obama were to win. I can promise you this much, if Obama would win, the economy would soon become the very least of our worries!

Just for info- I haven't voted for a (D) President in over 30 years- and ironically the last one was also because of a totally inept, corrupt, and paranoid (R) administration that tried to go around the Constitution and put themselves above the rule of law....

I have never followed one cultist party....

Oldtimer, you, for one, actually strike me as a fairly intelligent person. You actually normally post facts to back your points of view instead of just spewing filth from the keyboard. How can you be missing this one so badly?!?!

I don't think I am...I spent 30 years protecting that Constitution and the rule of law that includes that "NO-ONE" is above the law-- to watch George W. Bush just tear down all those principles-along with tear chunks out of the Constitution- and be totally supported by a rubber stamp "yes boss" Republican Congress...

I can't vote for those Republicans or for McCain, who walked in lockstep with his arms around Bush- and has a history of representing everything I abhor in a man who's principles of the day are decided by who has the most money to offer.... :(

I have said numerous times on this site- that Americans as a whole and as a government are usually slow to react and seldom proact- but when it finally gets to the point of reaction- they will overreact...
We've went past the point of reaction...

The American people are slow to wrath, but once that wrath is kindled, it burns like a consuming flame. - Theodore Roosevelt
