    This is too funny. The Republicans are accusing Obama of being tied to a terrorist. I have two names for you Republicans and McCain backers, Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada Carriles.

    Palin and McCain are pathetic. They are an embarassment to humanity as well as a complete parody of 21st Century Politics. McCain's 08 Campaign is an absolute disgrace. His run for Presidency is a vile running joke. Day in and Day out Sarah Palin and John McCain manage to verbally deficated all over the campaing trail. They've vastly lowered the bar and sunk The GOP to an all time low.

    I'm fairly certain that after November 4th, John McCain and Sarah Palin's respective political careers will rightfully vanish like 2 soft farts in the wind.

    I am glad you believe they are scary because they are true and they should be scary.



    I agree with you, he will be the next president because he has convinced you and a lot of people with smoke and mirrors.

    Sounds like you have an axe to grind but carry on. I've been told this many times myself but I could careless.


    Scary in how nasty this will get in the next month from both sides. One side appears to have no other direction to go but nasty and the other trying to defend itself.


    Look lady get it right for the upteenth time. So far Obama hasn't convinced me of anything I don't intend on voting for neither but I'll sort it through and I may make a choice between the two or then again I could write in Ralph Nader.

    She gets away with saying crap like this from the media because she's purty and winks alot and drives her kids to hockey practice. This woman gets under my skin more than Cheney does, and that's saying something. Talk about a wolf in sheep's clothing...

    I think we should put out all the facts about the Keating Five (of which McCain was the only Republican) out there, including that the panel decided to put and keep a Republican in the list of those accused. Including that McCain was exonerated.

    Wow, McCain was right, he IS able to reach across the aisle ... even for for ethics issues.

    "exhonerated" isn't really the right word here ... all of them were reprimanded or called out for poor judgement ...

    So is John McCain just going to forget about the comments that Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell made on 9/11?

    I think if you've read through the thread, you'd see where I was not too pleased with some of Obama's past connections ... (note: Ayers is not one where I am uncomfortable) ... I'm not blind to it.

    But I will say ... even with whatever ties there are to Rezko and Wright, I still believe Obama would be a better president than John McCain, I mean, that's what we're trying to get at here, right? I agree with Obama's views, his vision for the country, I think he is smarter than McCain, able to handle all the coplexities of the issues better, is more level headed, is for more diplomacy than McCain ... etc etc etc ...

    Every candidate has their warts, there's no denying it. Again, as I stated, they ALL have questionable ties, they hang out with politicians all day ... of course they have questionable ties.

    You what is scary? John McCain's DIRECT association with Extreme Pastors that speak of the Catholic religion as the "Great Whore" and having ties with Hitler. That was Pastor Hagee of San Antonio. Then there's Pastor Rod Paisley in Ohio who thinks that America was establish to "destroy" Islam. As someone that believes in God, I truely think that associating with these guys is far worse that there is video proof that McCain "pals" around with than no video or pictures or anyhting that connects Obmama with any terrorists, except for living in the same neighborhood or serving on a charity board. I live near a convicted child molester. Does that make me one? No, I don't think so. I would really hate Sarah Palin if I ddn't really feel sorry for her.

    C'mon man, you quoted a McCain campaign spokesman with that quote ... of course they are going to say that.

    Any politician who did not stand up to this administration's decision, and the Bush Sr administration's decision, in regards to Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada Carilles is a terrorist sympathizer. The fact that Republicans supported harboring two well known terrorists with the blood of countless innocent lives to walk free is a disgrace. John McCain followed along willingly as both Bush administration allowed these two men to escape justice. He has no moral high ground when it comes to any other politician's association with unsavory characters.

    Well, if you use that logic than Ayers is a meaningless criticism, as he was acquitted as well.

    What makes me angry about this whole Palin/Ayers thing is not that they brought it up at all. I mean, the McCain campaign is falling behind in the polls, people's opinions on the issues are not on their side, and that camp has shown that they are not above hitting below the belt during the campaign season. Obama I am sure knew that such an attack was coming. So I don't know if it was right, but it certainly was not unexpected.

    What is so irritating about it is that it is a continuation of McCain/Palin's assumption that people are not going to be intelligent or free-thinking at all and try to discover it on their own. Palin, in her first speech about the issue, mentioned the New York Times article the same day about the relationship between Obama and Ayers as evidence that Obama "pals around with terrorists." Problem is, as you can read here, http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/04/us/politics/04ayers.html?_r=1&ref=politics&oref=slogin

    ...the article says the exact opposite thing! So not only did McCain and Palin make a claim that is dubious at best (what else is new in politics), the article Palin offers voters as evidence says the EXACT OPPOSITE of what she said it did. She's assuming that people who are reading this online or in the newspaper will not look into the issue at all on their own, that they would not say, "hm, well let me take a look at that article." It's like going outside, taking a picture of a cloudy day, and saying the picture proves that it's sunny outside today. It's bizarre.

    I don't know, it's an extremely blatant house of cards to build your house upon. I mean, at least with the Swift Boat stuff, there was a little bit of confusion regarding what the truth really was. With this stuff, what's going to happen with, every time McCain makes this claim, the papers and media continue with the fact that there is no sign Ayers and Obama "pal around" at all? There's absolutely no ground for the assertion; how long will that last?

    That being said, character assasination like this stuff is probably the only chance McCain has. I wish Obama had not followed him into the gutter with Keating Five (simply because I don't think this is going to work for McCain), but we'll see. Our economy is nosediving; I think if the majority of the country trusts Obama more on the economy, they're going to view the "Obama is a terrorist" crap with suspicion.

    I mean, you probably should. If you're trying to make a legitimate, reasonable argument for McCain and against Obama you should probably find evidence beyond the words of somebody who is paid to have his lips firmly planted on McCain's ass in word and deed.

    ...a legitimate argument? Do you really think he was trying to make a legitimate, reasonable argument?

    Of course the source is irrelevant.
