Even the most reasonable Democrats on the media landscape can’t seem to muster any outrage about him,

Because on an ideological basis, barry, schumer, pelosi, frank, reid, feingold etc. are ideological comrades with ayers. I hope all you mccain and huckster supporters are happy. Romney would have cleaned barry’s vacuous, propaganda butt in this election. Instead you gave us a stammering idiot for a candidate and future under the steel toed boot of a fascist state.

“Hard pressed on my right, my center is yielding, impossible to maneuever – situation excellent, I am attacking”

Hanson thoughtfully includes the following excerpt from a 2004 interview with Obama. McCain would be smart if he simply read the quote and asked Obama about his relationship.

In a 2004 interview he bragged that he went to Wright’s Trinity every Sunday (even on THE SUNDAY?) and had some rather inspirational mentors (GG is the Chicago Sun-Times interviewer):

GG: Do you still attend Trinity?

OBAMA:Yep. Every week. 11 oclock service.

….

GG: Do you have people in your life that you look to for guidance?

OBAMA:Well, my pastor [Wright] is certainly someone who I have an enormous amount of respect for. I have a number of friends who are ministers. Reverend Meeks is a close friend and colleague of mine in the state Senate. Father Michael Pfleger is a dear friend, and somebody I interact with closely.

GG:Those two will keep you on your toes.

OBAMA: And they’re good friends. Because both of them are in the public eye, there are ways we can all reflect on what’s happening to each of us in ways that are useful. I think they can help me, they can appreciate certain specific challenges that I go through as a public figure.

John Murtha may be helping us out in PA. He called western Pennsylvania voters racist, but thinks Obama will still win the state.

Did you hear that folks in western PA? You’re racists.

Being called racist by a traitorous, bribe-taking smear artist is not that big a deal.

Gay marriage and abortion should go back to being state issues. Conservatives do have a majority on those issues in many states, but do not on a national level. We have to get our national campaigns back to traditional economic and national security issues that the vast majoroty of voters care about and vote on.

The fact is that the Republicans won in 2002 and 2004 only by using the social issues to drive up turnout among evangelicals. But that well is dry now, and by pandering so much to that wing of the party we have turned off millions of economic conservatives and defense hawks who are socially more liberal.

Did you hear that folks in western PA? You’re racists.

As a Christian and a heavy conservative

I’m a Christian (Catholic), too, and a life-long conservative, including on most social issues, but I object to a small group of people trying to use the mantle of conservativism to legislate personal morality or promote Christianity. I would take a dozen Joe Liebermans or Rudy Giuliani’s in the party over one of these folks who cannot bring themselves to support our nominee because he doesn’t pass their litmus test on what they think is a real conservative.

I hope they form their own party.

Some genius in the McCain campaign decided it would be a good idea to run a misleading ad about a totally obscure bill on sex education in Illinois. It dropped like a stink bomb and the stink only got on McCain. That ad was completely out of the blue and the mieda jumped all over it.

The the same geniuses decided to try to play identity politics over the “lipstick on a pig” comment by Obama. He lured them into a trap and they walked right into it. Republicans do not know how to play that game.

Until the week those two ads dropped, this had been a superior campaign which had Obama on his heels. The media rescued him by going after McCain’s “sleazy” and untrue ads. Of course they piled on, but the McCain campaign deserved some brickbats for those ads.

U.S. Rep. John Murtha says his home base of western Pennsylvania is racist and that could reduce Barack Obama’s victory margin in the state by 4 percentage points.

So that makes it dead even and still three (3) weeks to go.

McCain strategist: We lost the spin war about campaign negativity

Then you are relieved……………… Who wants to win this thing because our country and entire way of life is about to change, and not for the better?

MCain needs to do it in a thoughtful way and if need be, read a prepared statment of facts. Otherwise, stop pissing and moaning about the msm (because they are not going to change) and prepare to go home.

It is just that simple.

It was a joke, you know. A little off color and not my style, but very much a joke.

I was attempting to as well, but failed rather miserably…

Keep telling yourself that the reason McCain is behind in the polls is because he is not Christian enough or conservative enough to motivate the religious right to support him. I guess you guys will be safe in your churches or bunkers or whatever, but the rest of us will have to live in a post-Obama U.S. if McCain doesn’t win so we’re planning on voting for McCain, warts and all.

As a Christian and a heavy conservative, this logic baffles me. Sure, McCain’s more of a secular sort, but to consider OBAMA a better moral option is ludicrous. And frankly I think Palin more than makes up for anything McCain might be lacking in that department.

And thanks to all you early McCain supporters that the GOP gets killed in the process because you wanted the party to be just like the Democrats instead of standing for traditional conservative principles. You are as guilty as Democrats of destroying the nation. I hate you just as much as I hate Pelosi or Reid.

Thanks for that life-affirming message from one of our resident concerned Christian conservatives.

I think you’re in the minority and McCain-Palin will win, but if he does lose the silver lining is that the Republican party will have 4 years to clean house of the shrill minority like you who want to turn it into the party of Christianity to the exclusion of any social moderates or non-Christians. I have yet to see how pandering to “Republicans” whose hot-button issues are creationism and gay marriage has gotten the party anywhere this year.

Well, unless the booths are at a Cigarette machine or Popeyes Chicken franchise.

Ouch. Or a crack house.

I wouldn’t dare watch MSNBC today … I would soon start to question all reason for life on Earth if I listened to Olby…

petunia on October 15, 2008 at 3:46 PM

LMAO. Have faith. Pray hard.

petunia on October 15, 2008 at 3:44 PM

Petunia, I don’t know if you listen to Rush, but this morning he was talking about the polls. They are all over the place. We know that some polls weight their questions based on the number of democrats/republicans that are registered in that state.
Acorn is now under investigation for registering tens of thousands of false voting registrations. Most of those are for the democrats.
So, Acorn is probably also affecting these polls by “stuffing the democratic side with fraudulent registrations”.
2004-exit polls said that Kerry had it. They were wrong. How many people stayed home because all was lost. We will not know before Nov 5 who is the winner, hopefully Nov 5.

And now we all know why McCain picked Sarah Palin: McCain eats babies.

BigD on October 15, 2008 at 3:40 PM

Dude.

(And if I said instead my knee-jerk instant-thought response, I’d likely be banned or at least beaten to a bloody pulp, so I’ll behave >_>)
