I do my research, and BEFORE any decision to vote, not trusting the media...

Obama was smart not to do the Town halls....... McCain is very good. He has too much appeal for a centrist voter.

Kiss_My_Karma:
She "didn't blink" when McCain asked her to be on the ticket, yet a week prior she wanted a job description.

HalftimeDad:
But at some point it is going to come back to issues, and on that the Democratic ticket has a clear advantage.

Overall, there should be a 3 - 5 % point Democratic edge come election day, but a significant edge in electoral votes.

If you repeat a lie often enough, many will believe it.

We are still really far out, with just over a month to go to the debates. So much can happen to either side between now and then, that I don't think EITHER side should start putting on party hats at this moment.

Bluesman2008:
About as far as being a smart aleck got McCain in the Navy. I'm sure his admiral father and grandfather are rolling in their graves. He was a jerkoff in the military and a womanizer and he still is. Some things never change.

McCain underwent treatment for his injuries, including months of grueling physical therapy, and attended the National War College at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C. during 1973–1974. Having been rehabilitated, by late 1974, McCain had his flight status reinstated, and in 1976 he became commanding officer of a training squadron stationed in Florida. He improved the unit's flight readiness and safety records, and won the squadron its first-ever Meritorious Unit Commendation.

McCain served as the Navy's liaison to the U.S. Senate beginning in 1977. In retrospect, he has said that this represented his "real entry into the world of politics and the beginning of my second career as a public servant." His key behind-the-scenes role gained congressional financing for a new supercarrier against the wishes of the Carter administration.

McCain retired from the Navy on April 1, 1981 as a captain. His 17 military awards and decorations include the Silver Star, Legion of Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star and Navy Commendation Medal, for actions before, during, and after his time as a POW.

I did not even try to watch her speech.

So, come on, Dallas. If you have something, then bring it.

I remind them that Republicans slander their opponents with lies and innuendo; we don't.

turns out the lipstick on the pig comment had absolutely nothing to do with Palin, he wasn't even talking about her. I swear people don't even listen or read the comments they just copy and paste the chain e-mails into the freaking forum.

The woman is a conniving, pathological liar that is severely challenged in the ethics department.

Bluesman2008:
We have to change election funding immediately. It MUST be publicly funded so that everyone is on a level playing field. When it takes hundreds of millions of dollars to run a presidential race, we will ALWAYS get the best (or worst as the case may be) government money can buy.

DallasFlier:
Wow, so you're supporting the guy who lied, broke his public promise about using the public funding and following the rules, so he could take the big money that you're complaining about? To quote you directly, "sounds like the epitome of ignorance to me."

Paul rejects McCain's plea for endorsement

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Ron Paul says he rejected John McCain's appeal for his endorsement.

At a news conference Wednesday, Paul said he received a surprise call from McCain's campaign on Tuesday asking for his endorsement. Paul turned them down.

Paul said: ''The idea was that he would do less harm than the other candidate.''

Paul won no primaries in the Republican nomination contest but developed a strong following on the Internet. He appeared at a news conference with third-party candidates, including Ralph Nader and former Georgia Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney. Paul suggested backing the non-major party candidates.

I trust that all these clear up any confusion about the citations first mentioned.

On the Cloture Motion H.R. 3221
Moving the United States toward greater energy independence and security, developing innovative new technologies, reducing carbon emissions, creating green jobs, protecting consumers, increasing clean renewable energy production, and modernizing our energy infrastructure, and to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide tax incentives for the production of renewable energy and energy conservation.

You're just too funny. When McCain lies, it's always a mistake but anyone else? It's a lie.

Responding to an Israeli reporter's question Wednesday on his commitment to protect the Jewish state, Barack Obama pointed to a bill "we passed" in the U.S. Senate Banking Committee that tightens sanctions and authorizes divestment from Iran. "My committee," he called it.

Except that he isn't a member of the Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs.

"Just this past week, we passed out of the out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee - which is my committee - a bill to call for divestment from Iran as way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don't obtain a nuclear weapon," Obama said at a press conference in Sderot, Israel.

how I would LOVE to put together ads for the Obama campaign!! I'd have Obama up my 20 points in less than a week with my ads.

One word: Obama. He also wants to get lobbyists OUT of washington. We MUST do that. This government was SUPPOSED to be by the people and for the people and NOT by the corporations for the corporations. We're in debt up to our eyeballs because lobbyist have more power than the people do simply because corporations have all the money. The people have to put a stop to that cronyism once and for all or nothing will change. We have to change election funding immediately. It MUST be publicly funded so that everyone is on a level playing field. When it takes hundreds of millions of dollars to run a presidential race, we will ALWAYS get the best (or worst as the case may be) government money can buy.

Or the eBay bullshit--yeah, I know--she DID put it on eBay, blah blah blah. The truth is, she didn't sell it on eBay--not a big deal, in light of other far more serious things going on in the world--but you have to ask yourself: Why lie about something so easy to disprove? If she lies about freaking eBay, then what about the really BIG stuff?

welldonemedrare1:
I am a Vietnam POW and I can tell you...it does not qualify you for Anything! And John McCain has Never Led Anything and is nasty un-disciplined Dude! I am 67.

Right on Brother! And I am a Vietnam POW, age 64!

MG:
Based on the fact you said Obama wasn't there to vote (he was) , I think you may have got the wrong bill.

Let's see what other information we can dig up, and see if someone's going to eat some humble pie here.....and who that person may in fact be.

59-40 .........and one vote changed (after voting) to return it to 58-41

Does that satisfy your needs ?

On the Cloture Motion H.R. 3221
Moving the United States toward greater energy independence and security, developing innovative new technologies, reducing carbon emissions, creating green jobs, protecting consumers, increasing clean renewable energy production, and modernizing our energy infrastructure, and to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide tax incentives for the production of renewable energy and energy conservation.

On the Cloture Motion S.Amdt. 3983 to H.R. 5140 (Recovery Rebates and Economic Stimulus for the American People Act of 2008)
Of a perfecting nature.

Interestingly though, Obama's own Senatorial website says that bill (voted on 2/28) was actually defeated 48-46, with a 60 vote majority required. Oh, by the way, Obama was ALSO absent on that one, according to his own website. According to Obama's website, there were NO votes for cloture in February on any bill about anything, where the vote was 59-40-1.

http://obama.senate.gov/votes/index.cfm?start=161

So, who ya gonna believe, that paragon of journalism the Huffington Post that you guys love to quote so much, or Obama's own website? Because, its pretty clear, ONE of them is lying!

Look her up, she's got a pretty compelling bio, maybe even better than your would-be VP.

She met oil millionaire Michael Huffington, a family friend of the Bushes at a 1985 party hosted by Ann Getty in San Francisco. The couple were married in 1986 at a wedding paid for by Ann Getty, who had declared that she needed to find Arianna a husband. They moved to Washington, D.C., when he was appointed to serve as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Negotiations Policy. They later established residency in Santa Barbara, California, in order for him to run in 1992 as a Republican for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, which he won by a significant margin.

The couple divorced in 1997. The financial terms of their divorce agreement remain undisclosed, but Huffington gained most of her wealth from her husband. Arianna Huffington chose to retain her former husband's surname, although she had been known as Arianna Stassinopoulos Huffington during the period of her marriage.

Meanwhile, (covered, as usual, only by the huffington post)

As for the poor judgment, they have found no more and really less complicity in Obama's poor judgment with Antonin Rezko. It's a moot point really but as they say "What's good for the goose is good for the gander". If your campaign point is poor judgment of your opponent, then be prepared to answer why your poor judgment in the past is no longer a part of what you are. Sounds fair to me.

Well, actually I was wrong in my post above...
In fact they DO have the right to "say how it's being used" and whether or not they agree or disagree with the way it's being used... as per the Constitution of the United States of America.
However, they don't have the right to control how it's being used once the license is given.

Um, he IS one of the Keating Five.

Cranston (DEMOCRAT): severely reprimanded

The Senate Ethics Committee ruled that Cranston had acted improperly by interfering with the investigation by the FHLBB.[16] He had received more than a million dollars from Keating, had done more arm-twisting than the other Senators on Keating's behalf, and was the only Senator officially rebuked by the Senate in this matter.

Cranston was given the harshest penalty of all five Senators.

Riegle and DeConcini (both DEMOCRATS): criticized for acting improperly

The Senate Ethics Committee ruled that Riegle and DeConcini had acted improperly by interfering with the investigation by the FHLBB.

Glenn (DEMOCRAT) and McCain: cleared of impropriety but criticized for poor judgment

The Senate Ethics Committee ruled that the involvement of Glenn in the scheme was minimal, and the charges against him were dropped. He was only criticized by the Committee for "poor judgment."

The Ethics Committee ruled that the involvement of McCain in the scheme was also minimal, and he too was cleared of all charges against him. McCain was criticized by the Committee for exercising "poor judgment" when he met with the federal regulators on Keating's behalf. The report also said that McCain's "actions were not improper nor attended with gross negligence and did not reach the level of requiring institutional action against him....Senator McCain has violated no law of the United States or specific Rule of the United States Senate." On his Keating Five experience, McCain has said: "The appearance of it was wrong. It's a wrong appearance when a group of senators appear in a meeting with a group of regulators, because it conveys the impression of undue and improper influence. And it was the wrong thing to do."

Several accounts of the controversy contend that McCain was included in the investigation primarily so that there would be at least one Republican target. Glenn's inclusion in the investigation has been attributed to Republicans who were angered by the inclusion of McCain, as well as committee members who thought that dropping Glenn (and McCain) would make it look bad for the remaining three Democratic Senators. Democrat Robert S. Bennett, who was the special investigator during the scandal, suggested to the Senate Ethics Committee that it pursue charges against neither McCain nor Glenn, saying of McCain, "that there was no evidence against him."

marriage is a traditional arrangement between a man and a woman for the sole purpose for legitimizing the children ...there for purely religious orientated...there for why force the issue of whether two same sex people can marry ...civil unions which afford the same rights and protections as marriage..without stealing the name from the traditional marriage why is this not acceptable ...a marriage by another name ...and we can live together in harmony ..its like the Gay groups invading the church in San Fransisco ...what point did that serve other than to intimidate religion ...why cannot freedom from religion and freedom of religion co exist side by side

Sarah Palin is the US's answer to Margaret Thatcher! Anyone who thinks she cannot handle the job or deal briskly and efficiently with ANY issue, including foreign governments ... well, they haven't met our Sarah.

As an Alaskan resident as well as a resident of Wasilla, AK, where Sarah Palin was at one time Mayor ... I can speak with confidence. Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska is exactly what she portrayed during her introduction this morning and exactly what our US Government needs. She is ethical to a fault (if there is such a thing), a refreshing change to the status-quo and as smart and determined a PERSON (gender really isn't an issue here as far as I'm concerned) as anyone could ask for at the head of government.

Sarah is no naive 'small town mayor' — she just *started out* there. BTW, as Mayor of Wasilla<, she brought this 'small town' through a lot of GOOD changes and left it at the end of her term having grown to the 4th largest CITY in Alaska — a lot of growth and a stronger economic base than ever before.

She has EXECTUTIVE experience *running a government* (something NONE of the other candidates can actually boast, even John McCain) as Governor of Alaska and got there by defeating the *incumbent* Republican Governor, who was definitely part of the 'old school' and who WAS very much in the pocket of the big oil companies. We in Alaska wanted change — and we got it in the person of Sarah Palin!

Sarah Palin is everything she looks to be and more. Her approval rating as Governor of Alaska has been as high as 95% and is currently leveled out consistently in the upper 80 percentile throughout the state (and in both parties) - the HIGHEST approval rating of ANY sitting Governor.

Sarah has been turning around corruption in the Legislature of Alaska - turning things on their ear for that matter; cutting spending in spite of the increased income the state is currently receiving due to the high oil prices - she has insisted on putting a huge amount of the 'windfall' into savings for the future rather than spending, spending, spending - and has insisted from the get-go on what she refers to as 'honest, ethical and transparent governing' - no more closed door meetings and dealings - the big oil companies thought she would be a pushover and have learned better to their chagrin.

She understands the 'real people' and the economic issues we all face (Alaskans along with the rest of the country) - she was one of 'us' not long ago. Rather than passing useless 'laws' or throwing money at pet projects, she (most recently) temporarily suspended the state gas tax (on gasoline at the pumps, fuel oil and natural gas for homes, etc.) and has ordered checks issued to ALL residents of Alaska this fall in an attempt to assist with the burden of high fuel costs for the upcoming winter. I could go on and on, but that's enough for now. She isn't doing these things to be popular – she is doing it because her constituents are HURTING financially and she can help.

She became Governor of Alaska by defeating the Incumbent Republican Governor and doing it *without* the money or the support of the Republican Party, which was amazing in itself - and she won by a landslide. The 'powers that be' at that time totally underestimated Sarah and learned better the hard way. She has done exactly what she claimed she was going to do and is just as popular today as the day she was elected - perhaps more so since even the Democrats up here seem to like her - she works well with both sides in the Legislature here.

Sarah 'belongs' to us (Alaskans) ... and although we are going to be terribly sorry to see her leave before she finishes the job she started here (two years ago) straightening out OUR State ... we understand she is needed for a bigger purpose and hopefully her Lt. Governor will be able to fill her shoes here and continue the job.

As for worrying about what would happen if McCain were to die or step down or whatever ... Up here in AK we've only been wondering how long we would be able to KEEP Sarah in Alaska and have seen her as our first woman President of the USA from the start. It's always been a matter of whether she would wait until the end of her TWO terms as Governor (no doubt at ALL that she would be re-elected if she ran for a second term at the end of her current term) ... or end up in Washington sooner. She could do the job TODAY.

Personally, I feel a lot better about McCain now that I know he has someone as savvy, as strong, as ethical and as steady as Sarah at his back. She will be an excellent Vice President ... and my guess is she will be our US Republican Presidential candidate in four years - AND by then the country will KNOW her – will love and respect her as we do here - and she'll win by as much of a landslide as she did here in Alaska. I only wonder if McCain has a clue what he is unleashing on the US of A. She is going to be a fresh wind, but also a strong wind.

Is that enough of an endorsement? If not, I'll add this ... Jerry and I have for many years felt the best 'vote' was to vote for the lesser of two 'evils' and hope they didn't do too much damage. Two years ago during our State Governor's race was the first time EVER that we actually asked for not just a little sign to put in our yard showing our support of our candidate (something we've never felt the desire to do at all before) - we asked for a full 4' x 8' 'SARAH PALIN FOR GOVERNOR!' sign and were proud to have it. She hasn't let us or Alaska down. She will do the same for the USA if given the opportunity.

She did want to ban books. She wasn't able to. Full stop.

faith2565:
So, MG it is fair game. But, I still love you!

The only reason some books weren't banned is because the librarian stood up to Palin.

You're giving Palin credit because she wasn't able to ban the books she wanted to?

Fact 1 again.....No Books Were Ever Banned.
Fact 2 again.....No Books Were Ever Removed.
Fact 3 again.....No Attempt To Ban Or Remove A Single Book Ever Took Place.

In early February, the Senate version of the Stimulus package had provisions for roughly $5 billion in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and green jobs. That $5.7 billion package included:

* 1-year extension of the Production Tax Credit-$3 billion
* Solar, fuel cell, and micro turbine investment credits-$130 million
* Clean Renewable Energy Bonds-$400 million
* High-efficiency appliance credits-$323 million
* Energy efficiency credits for new homes-$61 million
* Energy efficiency credits for home retrofits-$1.5 billion
* Energy efficiency credits for commercial buildings-$153 million


When the vote for cloture came up on the Stimulus Package including this funding for green technologies: 59-40-1. Do I need to tell you who was the one Senator Missing in Action and Absent WithOut Leave?

MEDIA: "Uh, Governor Palin. You said that you sold that plane on eBay for a profit. That's not true is it? In fact Senator McCain repeated that during the convention. What do you have to say about that"?

PALIN: I hunt moose. Make no mistake about it".

Jesus.. I can see it all now.

Laura Bush's outfit was in that price range, Cindy's was in the 300,000.00 price range. I love you, but that is the truth.

From the people who brought us the Edwards story, apparently they are going to expose a similar story about Palin and her husband.

I heard rumors ranging from affair to being swingers. . . Perhaps we found her excape clause after all. . .

Not sure when the news is suppose to break, but anything this juicy should happen by Friday.

Obama has missed 231 of the last 398 votes in the Senate, dating back through July of last year.

McCain has missed 146 of the last 179 votes in the Senate, dating back through July of last year.

I don't want some bottom of the class guy in the White House!

Rhetorical nonsense. Please provide evidence that Obama has "squandered" his Senate seat.

I want a smart guy who has the temperament, intellect, and skill to be our next president. Barack Obama is that man! He certainly has shown his sound judgement by selecting Joe Biden for his running mate.

I think he (Obama) can be ready but right now, I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.

I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off.

How frigging dumb do you have to be to post obvious lies?????????????

dictionary.com . . . In case you don't understand any of the words in my post!

During her speech at the Republican National Convention, VP nominee and Alaska governor Sarah Palin said that when she took office she first started cutting state spending by selling her predecessor's jet. Then Palin nailed a crowd-pleaser saying: "I put it on eBay." And it's true, she did. But eBay, then helmed by Palin's fellow RNC speaker Meg Whitman, couldn't handle the business. Palin's people listed the jet three times on the site, but no one would bid a minimum of $2.5 million. "The eBay thing didn't work out very well," a local paper wrote after the failures. Palin eventually sold the jet using a traditional aircraft broker, selling it for $2.1 million — $500,000 less than the state paid.
