Two more McCain ads on the &quot;Wall Street Meltdown&quot;: &#160; &#160; Great - more &quot;crisis&quot;mongering.&#160; Nothing spooks people into a crisis more effectively than telling them they&#039;re already in one.&#160; Or, put another way, if a man is convinced ...</description>

Here&#039;s an irony/hypocrisy. The Obama camp, who&#039;s so opposed to shopping at Wal*mart, have staff there to register voters.</description>

		<description>I love it when ED posts the &quot;Obama bodysurfing&quot; pic (I prefer to think of it as &quot;Obama &lt;em&gt;floundering&lt;/em&gt;&quot;!) because I know it&#039;s bad news for the Change pimp! Sometimes I don&#039;t even bother to read the story; the pic tells me all I need to know!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I’m reluctant to attribute our opponents’ motives to evil. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;m not, obviously.  they have no problem with cutting a hole in the back of a babie&#039;s head and sucking out the brains...thats evil.   and this is just one example. 

the so-called &#039;christian&#039; democrats in the rank and file, rationalize this because they&#039;re more worried about their own self-interest.

I don&#039;t have any other word, other than evil, to describe these people.</description>

I&#039;m reluctant to attribute our opponents&#039; motives to evil. That is a Manichean tar brush they use on us constantly. I cannot say they are evil but I will hazard this opinion: their leadership is certainly cynical, as they know fully well that the socialism they embrace is unworkable. Obviously what they crave is power and fortune. 

The rank and file? Mostly ignorant, breathtakingly stupid and, in a great many instances, psychologically disturbed.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;But how can people say that they know/trust someone who ADMITS that the economy is not his strong point?

thePajamaPundit on September 17, 2008 at 10:39 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

If you think Obama is too stupid to recognize his weaknesses on the economy, it makes sense to trust McCain more.

Obama has shown ignorant arrogance, with inflexibility and denial.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;It should frighten every American that an individual this blatantly ignorant of basic economic principles might be a heartbeat away from the presidency. It’s like putting a 5-year old behind the steering wheel.

Economic principles?  How about the principles of everything?  I wouldn&#039;t trust Obippy to run a one-pump gas station, much less the nation.</description>

		<description>If Obama wins on the Tanning Bed platform, it will give him a perfect batting average. He will never have won an election on his own merits, always by smearing, never by ideas.

I&#039;m not too worried though. We&#039;ll impeach the amateur after the first big screw up. And look for it to occur early on.</description>

		<description>Obama has never run a business, he doesn&#039;t understand how the world oil market functions or the role of commodity traders, he thinks you can tax (punish) corporations with no repercussions for their customers. He has no concept of how wealth is created - only how it can be transferred to serve some mindless goals of social engineering.
It should frighten every American that an individual this blatantly ignorant of basic economic principles might be a heartbeat away from the presidency. It&#039;s like putting a 5-year old behind the steering wheel.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Does that even make sense?

Beo on September 17, 2008 at 10:57 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yeah, a lot of people who make less than $40,000 a year are hippies and community organizers and 20-somethings in entry level jobs who love Obama.  They don&#039;t shop at Wal-Mart.  A lot of them are also city dwellers and there aren&#039;t any Wal-Marts in the big cities.  Wal-Mart shoppers tend to be middle-class white people living in rural areas and exurbs.  Wal-Mart is also the biggest gun seller in the country.</description>

		<description>Reminds me of an old Russian tale: 

Boris and Ivan are farmers and neighbors during the reign of the Tsars. Both are dirt poor, but one day Ivan inherits a goat from his uncle and is able to make some extra rubles selling the milk.

Boris is beside himself with envy. One day, while plowing his field, he stumbles across an old brass lamp. When he rubs the dirt off of it, a genie appears.

&quot;This is your lucky day, Boris,&quot; said the genie. &quot;I have the power to grant you one wish. Whatever you heart desires - be it gold, diamonds, a whole herd of cattle, a palace for a farmhouse - anthing you want and it shall be yours.&quot;

Without hesitation, Boris responded, &quot;I want that Ivan&#039;s goat should die.&quot;</description>

		<description>The contrast of ads today could not be more compelling.  McCain&#039;s is short, direct, to the point, assuringly presidential.  Obama&#039;s two minute ramble (on his website, it&#039;s just too long and rambling for TV) is loaded with bad news and more of his typical stump promises.  More interesting, as I watched Obama&#039;s tiresome, droney, two minuter, I was distracted by his reading the teleprompter which was placed to his left.  It seemed his gaze consistently fell to a phantom person just to my right.  They must have hurriedly filmed this ad, not realizing Obama never looks directly at his intended audience.  Rookies.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I’m confused, over at MESS-NBC, they say the “worm has turned,” Obama is gaining on McCain and they expect this trend to continue. And they say no one is talking abot Palin any more except Troopergate. What gives, guys?&lt;/blockquote&gt;


That network is a blatant left wing propaganda machine and everything you read or hear there should be taken with a grain of salt.</description>

		<description>The time for disregarding these polls as &quot;a Convention bounce&quot; is past. The longer this momentum goes on, the harder it will be for Obama to reverse it. Obama is now losing the most vital weapon that a politician can have- credibility. October is shaping up to very interesting. Between the William Ayers/Annenberg/Woods Foundation meme and now Obama&#039;s meddling in the Iraq troop withdrawal; this election is shaping up to be the perfect storm that could deal a devastating blow to the Democrat Party. I hope is destroy&#039;s them.</description>
