While Rome burned...They talked about lipstick

Obama needs to attack what the republicans say and do. I don't mean negatively. Just stay on message and continue to show the diversions.

The republicans try to solve everything with tax cuts. Alan Greenspan said McCain's tax cuts will not work. There is not enough pork in Washington to add up to over $300 billion McCain is proposing.

I fear that McCain will start to eliminate social programs. Like caring for the troops. Or healthcare for college students. Or healthcare for the elderly.

I don't think there will be a terrorist attack. I think they will catch Osama Ben Laden. That is why they are sending special forces into Pakistan now. It will be the October Surprise. That is my guess anyway.

I believe you are correct Twodee. But an election can't be stolen if the people see an apparent landslide victory lost at the voting booth. This has to be kept close by the media in order for them to steal yet another election. with the media telling the world they are tied in this election cycle purging the voter rolls will go unnoticed and vwalah, Florida all over again. Supreme court steps in for the second time in american history , stops all recounts and hands the presidency over to McCain.
On a side note; Vegas bookies are now taking bets as to the date of the next terrorist attack. Available dates for betting? Sept. 12 through Nov. 6th

Who's ready for the mudslinging to end? *raises hand*

Republicans and Democrats aside the media is making a killing at keeping the noise up about anything sensational. SO, this may not even have anything to do with politics. Where are just watching another corporation take advantage of it's unsuspecting prey. Same reason we are told the polls say this is a close race. I have my suspicion this race is not at all close. But it makes for lots of great tension, suspense and emotional upheaval. Reality TV at its finest. Who will get voted off the show? McCain or Obama?

Being a true and native Texan, I am embarrassed that the illegal junta designed by Karl Rove, who is the devil incarnate, along with Dickie C, Rumsy, an untold number of major and minor accomplices including some Democrats, and Dubya as The Puppet, was hatched in the place where I was born. I feel contaminated, and I am disappointed that many of my family and friends in Texas blindly support the junta's objectives without knowing that they are supporting criminals who have stolen America through fear and greed. I am sure Dubya wishes he had never had the job stolen for him, judging by the way he has aged. There is not much joy in being the puppet of monsters. McSame will not last long, and then Palin will become "The Puppet" with LIPSTICK.

Check out a book called "The Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein. The illegitimate junta that currently runs our government has used every underhanded and illegal excuse at it's command to solidify and maintain control of our country. Dubya's, and now McSame's masters are using lies, deceit, fear, electronic voting, and are probably not above using force, to steal the 2008 Vote from US all. If even one vote for Barack is stolen then all votes will have been stolen, even the votes of those who unwittingly support the junta.

If Barack is able to take even limited control away from the Corporate Governance Apparatus now in place, It will be the result of a Revolution where All Americans, with blinders removed, stand in Unity and say no way, no more, no how! Puppet McSame and his pal Lipstick must be seen for who they really are.

King George Dubya, as the factotum for the illegal junta ruining our country, is no different from the King George that our country's founders fought. The stakes are that high, and Americans are at the same crossroads that our founders were. Will we Stand In Unity, or fold our hand and go find a place to hide?

"You can put lipstick on a pig, It's still a pig." The McCain/Palin camp should not be offended by this, It is the pigs who should be put off by being compared to those horrendous republicans.

*sigh* We seem destined to keep repeating the same mistakes.

I hoped the one lesson America would take away from the Bush years would have been that issues, judgement and intelligence matter.

Not only did we not learn that important lesson, but we have gained even more pride in, and determination to elect the people that are as ignorant as the common man or woman.

Let's all hope the electoral college has our backs...

You can't state the media is to blame when you read a newspaper (media) and agree with its statements. Or a TV show on MSNBC (media) because they too are part of the big bad media. Nor can you state such about online news organizations (media) because they are umbrellaed under the same theme. This goes for comedy shows that pretend to give news while actually giving their unbridled opinion (media).

biden who? have we made the wrong choice?

The media can definitely share the blame... Let's about Phil Gramm's duplicity in the housing crisis, and him possibly becoming U.S. treasurer, if McCain's elected president.

The politics of distraction is a very dangerous one to play.... Focus people, focus!!!!!!

The whole republican campaign thus far has been smear tactics and issue avoidance. After "Dubya" though, none of this surprises me. What does, however, is that Americans still buy the crap.

"what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul." -Quote from Billy Madison

It is Rove. It is the Republicans, AND the news media that refuses to tell us what they have did, and are doing to us.

Well we have more than one source of information and the responsibility to fact check and get the right information is on us. Mainstream media has became irrelevant in providing information as evident from the coverage of the election. so all those voters who care about issues and the future of this nation should do their homework and get the right information.

we just keep getting dumber and dumber as a society every single year. the movie idiocracy is going to look like a documentary in a few years. wait and see

That was the whole point. Republicans count on the medias greed for ratings and the general publics lack of intellect to appeal to the lowest common denominator whenever possible.

The mainstream media is doing a terrible job in their campaign coverage. This is really where we feel the loss of Tim Russert, whose coverage was always focused on the important stuff.

It's Rove/the McCain camp and their media followers that are perpetuating the shitty waste of time comments,

Obama is taking the high road. NICE WORK!!

it's not karl , it's not the republicans.It's the American public that is willing to accept the ungarnished crap toss at them by the "news" media in lieu of content ,in lieu of truth.It's just that simple.

It is all the Republicans have got. If they can stir shit people won't notice the senile old man and the goof ball bitch.

Jesus Christ.
Such petty arguments these people have.
Why can't we see this?

Damn you, Karl!

Let' s admit it, she is a pig for pork. Alaska gets more per capita than any other state.

The republicans have used this term about a half a dozen times in the last year, and now its a big deal when Obama says it. Nice way to side step the issues McBush.

Pig = bad but pit bull = good? Politics of STUPID!
