Your wrong

Indictment coming! Well Mr. Obama should have been vetted by the msm. Mr. Rezko is cooperating with the feds and turning on the messiah as well as the Gov. of Illinois. You heard it first from me, a little birdie told me this will happen in the next few weeks! Maybe now people will realize why Bill Clinton has been so smug the last few weeks.

Boo hoo hoo

You have been eating too many nasty cookies. You should try pointing your finger back to yourself to find the source of your inner nastiness and anger. In addition, you might try taking an English composition 101 course over again and try harder to pass it this time. You have nothing to offer.

MaCain and Palin

I think that John McCain is so out of touch with the average Joe's needs it's un-believeable. The picking of this moose killer for Vice President of the greatest country in the world is crazy, what is he thinking? God help us if this man wins because it will be like stepping back in time, hopeless. Palin does not have a clue of what she is stepping into and is not ready for the role she might be called on to play. You can't count her out because McCain is seventy-two years old and seems to have dementia sometimes she could become President one day. Isn't that scary! American citizens please think before you VOTE! This is so important.

McCain v. his own party

Part of the problem throughout this campaign for the rs has been McCain himself. Over and over again, they try to crank up the machine, and then McC does something that makes them assume the fetal position for awhile and then they try to come back again, and then he does something else horrible, and they have to try again. Just imagine how they felt when he suspended his campaign and tried to cancel the debates. And it has not gotten better from there. Palin is no counterweight because she doesn't recognize the risks unless someone feeds them to her, out of sheer political inexperience.

Apparently he really doesn't like them and keeps bringing out the fighter pilot jock part of his personality, the risk-ignorant, cocky, excessively self confident and self-absorbed part, that makes all the rest of us know why we think fighter pilots are unstable and unreliable except when on duty. Callng it "maverick' is window dressing for unstable and unrealistically confident of all outcomes, with no view of downsides. And they don't like him either as the recent vote shows.

This is what makes the vaunted negative machine less useful this year, because their candidate does not stay out of the way and let it work, and keeps giving the other side ammunition.

May turn out to be an unfortunate turning point

Unless Obama starts supporting the people in this bailout business and stops saying he's in favor of this incredibly flawed bill and that he'll fix it when he's in office, he may just lose the election on this issue. If McCain's people have him support the people instead of Wall Street, whether or not he is telling the truth, the people will go with him.

I have never been unable to get through to the toll free Washington lines until now. That means that probably millions, or at least 10s of thousands, of people are calling about this issue. They didn't do that about the invasion, torture, the justice department debacle, destruction of the constitution, or anything else. Get us materialistic Americans in our pocketbooks and maybe we'll actually do something. That something could cost Obama the election unless he starts supporting alternate bills (like DeFazio's) instead of the Paulson Wall Street bailout.

Ah, if only... but you forget, when all else fails there is always election fraud.

The same machine that put Bush in power will do it's utmost to insure a McCain victory. Just further proof that our democracy has been subverted by a corrupt cabal, a secret society of power and wealth, a conspiracy of greed and murder. I only hope that the appointment of a special prosecutor for the firing of the justice department lawyers will begin to widen the cracks in the dam that holds back the evil secrets.
