  THIS IS SLEAZE:
  Near the end of a town hall meeting in Johnstown, Pa., a woman arose to offer a passionate plea to Barack Obama to “stop these abortions.”

  Obama’s response was cool, direct, unequivocal.

  “Look, I got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old. … I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”

  “Punished with a baby.”

  This is one misdirected full of hate piece of crap person- and this is not to say I like McCain,as I do not, but this guy is a piece of crap (in case you missed it first time)

  This is also coming from a campaign that attacked a woman’s 17 year old daughter and through their sleazy Daily Kos friends her retarded baby.

  I believe a mother should have the right to retroactively abort up to and including the age of 18 years old.

  Quoting Barack Obama on September 1:

  “Let me be a clear as possible: I have said before and I will repeat again, I think people’s families are off limits, and people’s children are especially off limits. This shouldn’t be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin’s performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president. I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories.”

  So when, exactly, did the Obama campaign attack Palin’s daughter? And I love how Palin and the McCain campaign complain about people making her pregnant daughter a story, but then they turn around and prop up that same daughter during the convention, and I don’t know how many times I’ve heard her or someone in her campaign talk about her son being deployed to Iraq. They’re absolutely right in calling people (not the Obama campaign) out for focusing on her daughter, but they can’t have it both ways.

  How incredibly naive some people can be..of course the candidate will say that.

  How incredibly skeptical some people can be. He’s said that time and again throughout this race, and his campaign has always tried to keep the focus on the issues, not on the peripheral nonsense (like this) that the McCain campaign has used to try to distract voters.

  A Dan Quayle mistake from Obama?

  From Rush Limbaugh’s radio show yesterday….

  You are aware, probably, that Barack Obama lost his bearings recently
  and said that he was going to campaign in all 57 states.
  You heard this? And most everybody chalked it up to, ‘Well, he’s tired.’
  You know, this is a Dan Quayle moment. I mean, Dan Quayle goes out there and misspells ‘potato,’ and we still hear jokes about it.Barack Obama says he’s gonna go out and campaign in 57 states! He was just tired, you know, it’s been such a long campaign, he’s been so many places, he probably thinks there are 57 states. Well, I have here a printout from a web site called the International
  Humanist and Ethical Union .And here is how the second paragraph of an article on that website begins.’Every year from 1999 to 2005 the organization of the Islamic conference
  representing the 57 Islamic states presented a resolution to the United Nations Commission on human rights called commbating.’
  Obama said he’s going to campaign in 57 states, and it turns out that there are 57 Islamic states.There are 57 Islamic states!
  So did Obama just lose his bearings, or was this a more telling slip,ladies and gentlemen?

  Dan Quayle had a greatest hits of gaffes. You guys are reaching here.

  I understand you don’t like Obama, but McCain is borderline patholigical with the the way he has run this campaign.

  You guys hate Obama so much that you think this woman from Alaska is the second coming of Ronald Reagan.

  Imagine how bad you guys would be whining if Palin had a racist preacher baptize her kids, had gone to the same church with a racist preacher for 20 some years..what a joke. Also, why would a moderate like Obama say he would not have voted for welfare reform? Look it up. He’s no moderate.

  I think if Palin had had a racist preacher baptise her kids or marry her, it would be helpful to McCain Palin. That is the paradox here.

  Whereas the average American sees an uppity negro when it is revealed that Obama’s preacher is a jerk, they see a comrade in arms everytime Palin is revealed to have some white trash problem in her past. It is a subtle manipulation of white America.

  Sure…it would be REALLY helful.

  By the way, what is a “white-trash” problem”? Having a kid out of wedlock? Look at the numbers if you think that’s a “white-trash” problem..

  The whole using her power in the attempted firing of the brother in law who gives electric shocks to his son, is straight out of Jerry Springer

  So is her interest in banning books, and her belief that the war in Iraq is a mission blessed and designed by the Lord Jesus Christ.

  Putting a tanning bed in the governors mansion is also pure Jerry Springer.

  All of these things buy Palin points with rural America

  Putting a tanning bed into the governor’s mansion that you bought on your own in a land that has a number of months without much sunlight is not a big deal.

  She doesn’t believe the war in Iraq was a mission blessed by God, and she doesn’t believe in banning books. If you’re going to believe all that garbage without evidence, you better believe that your boy Obama’s proven ties to socialists and black racists is a tad more scary to the average American. But hey, when does a good liberal let facts get in the way?

  Nick: You should not deny these stories, you should thank god that Palin wants to ban books and do sunbed tanning

  Fact is that we are right now in the middle of the most extraordinary collapse of the most prestigious financial institutions in this nation and instead of talking about it, the nation is talking about Palin. That is good for McCain.

  If we really get down to it, you can tie very clearly 8 years of GOP leadership under George Bush to the unbelievable events we are witnessing. It is much better for McCain if we talk about book banning.

  While I agree Bush is a disaster, blaming the current situtation solely on him is way too simplistic. It’s like blaming Nixon for the Vietnam War.

  This mess is 40 years plus in the making, and both sides are to blame.

  FYI, I am not Nick.

  SRG – sorry about that, you make CAPS just like Nick, I presumed you had adapted a second persona. Sorta like an on-line split personality disorder.

  It is mighty convenient for Republicans to blame the last 40 years and not the policies of the Bush admin for our current crisis. I am not so sure.

  There are solid macro economic facts that lend credence to the hypothesis that this whole house of cards tipped, directly due to Bush incompetance. Starting with the record deficits which are soley the responsiblity of Bush.

  No problem JP. I know what you mean. Jamey is the only one I know who poses as “Tracey” sometimes.
