  1. As a lifelong democrat the actions of Obama have made me sick. He now has 30 lawyers on the ground in Alaska trying to dig up dirt on Palin. I thought Obama would be different but he's more of the same. I will now vote for the real party of reform & change McCain/Palin.-Dorothy in Atlanta

    1. @corrboy ----I wish your other party followers would be as honest and intelligent as you are. Nothing but "Get Palin" since day 1.
      What happened to staying on the issues. He dropped that pretty quickly. He is guilty of doing the same things he is accusing the Republicans of doing.
      You are right...he is "Not Change" More of the same".
      Now Biden admits he is not the best guy for the job? How is that for self confidence.

  2. The equation of this year’s presidential election is simple: Obama has already attracted 90% of the black votes, and he only needs to get 40% of the rest to win. On the other hand, McCain needs to get 60% of the non-black votes, which seemed to be an impossible task one week ago. However, Sarah Palin has changed the whole dynamics. Thanks to the arrogance of Obama and his ultra-liberal advisors, how could they have ignored Hillary Clinton? Palin has shown that she can excite republicans and Hillary supporters. John McCain’s respected character and his push for reform appear to be more trustworthy than Obama’s slogan of change. After the conventions, it seems possible that the McCain-Palin ticket can capture Ohio and win in the general election.

    1. @abchen ---The I guess all black people really ARE ignorant. If they are shallow enough to vote for him because he is black then you you deserve that labeling.
      The stupidest comment I may have ever heard on the internet is yours.
      You are a maroon.

  3. Obama says regarding Palin's earmarks : "I mean, words mean something. You can't just make stuff up."
    Apparently words only have meaning when the other candidate says something. Once again he contradicts himself. He forgets he said its only words regarding us bitter Americans. Oh and I love how he is trying to compare himself to McCain's status as a war hero stating that he (Obama) once considered joining the military guess he didn't find that cause greater than himself. Seems to me Obama is worried and continues to flip flop look at his recent remarks about abortion he only says things he thinks people want to hear that is why he continuously flip flops!

  4. Palin's Desires will go haywired when she lays eyes on B.Hussein O. The tall dark African will seduce her right there in Public. She will turn into a Zombie like all the rest of his followers have done. I Obey!, Do with me as you wish. I am your handmadien!.Go now, Palin and tell McCain and the rest of the Republicans what you have seen and experience from my swivel hip movement and magical utterance.

    1. @cisneros_d -----how do a-holes like YOU have even enough intelliegence to figure out how to post comments?

  5. If everyone is serious about wanting change in Washington, why don't we vote for Bob Barr, the Libertarian candidate? What would happen if we actually voted in someone who was not a Democrat or Republican? The way this campaign is going is really making me sick and I don't want either of them as President.

  6. Matt Damon shows his utter stupidity and sycophantic tendencies like most of Hollywood elitists and Democratic followers by making the statements he has. It is so easy to pick out the MSNBC & blogger followers because 99 % of their trash being spewed is being dismissed by the unbiased media such as fact check..org.
    The Democrats are really getting scared by Palin and it is obvious.
    Now Biden states what we all knew from day 1.....he not the ebst VP candidate they could have come up with.
    Ya gotta love it.....every time the Democrats or one of their surrogates open their mouth like that bitch from SC (who incidently too bad HER mother did not have an abortion, the world would be better off without her ugly mug) they just play right into the Republicans hand. It is really amusing to watch them blow another election. They are like the Bad News Bears of politics. They just can't help f-ing up.
    Message for Fowler: The best part of you ran down your dad's leg!
    You ass.

  7. I'm looking forward to 4 more years of Republican rule!
    OBL is gonna be road pizza and AZ is going to be dead too!
    Let's elect the people who are going to finish the job and wipe out this cancer scourge forever.
    Democrats have no clue about worldy matters.
    They want to bring socialism.
    If Obama people want socialism then move your asses to China, Russia, or India. I'm sure they would love to have you.No ...you won't because even the most low down people here have the best shot at making something of themselves in this country rather than any other. 99% of the people here know it.
    It seems the system worked pretty good for Obama. He has a better life than I do.
    The last time I checked we werea capitalist society. You aspire to your own abilities and if you are desperate there are safety nets to help. Is it the best system ..no but a hell of alot better than living anywhere else. So when the Democrats paint America as a tragic experiment I say go live somewhere else then. I for one don't want socialism or charity...I have enough self respect to make it on my own.
