McCain picking Annie Oakley could be the best thing to happen to this election.... People are going to WAKE UP!!! Obama All The Way!

geez, you mean the msm had it wrong?! another example, of not only sen. mcain's 20th century mindset but the msm's. you know, we americans really do need the media, not to just spoon-feed us the cw but to do the job of asking the hard questions, challenging the lies and digging for the truth. i had truly hoped, after the lies that led us into an irresponsible and tragic war, the msm had learned; but the only thing it proved to the good ol' lying gop is how easily the msm can be manipulated. fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Suburban Mom paying attention, IL — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 14:27:16 GMT

Every time the media floats the assumption that the Obama campaign didn't fare well in fundraising, the numbers end up being phenomenal. Let's not forget- this total doesn't even factor in the reported $10 mil Obama raised in response to Sarah Palin's nasty convention appearance.

Sarah Palin is a money-maker, all right- for the Dems. The horrific thought of this unqualified opportunist being a heartbeat away from the Presidency is mobilizing citizens like never before. I'm looking forward to the September numbers. They are likely to be staggering.

$66 million - not bad.

Interesting that so many people would support a person who has spent 21 years of his life listening to racially charged and anti-American sentiment ... is friends with a known terrorist and talks down small town people, not to mention is the main leader, vote wise, in the pro-abortion movement.

Barack Obama is two different people. He's charming on the podium and a back-stabbing phony in private.
Taped conversations have revealed this and yet he gets support. Even our enemies support him. That should tell people something but the staunch anti-Republican crowd don't give a damn. He's a democrat so they ignore it.

Obama also is too sensitive and inexperienced for the job of president. And, of course, Ms. Palin would be a better choice for VP due to her experience in both adminisrative and executive positions. She'a hard-core decision maker. She won't cut and run. By the way, you don't even hear about Biden anymore.

I think the media is under estimating Obama's campaign ability and the campaign is okay with their estimation. They are flying under the radar purposefully in order to focus on what need to be done. The press is freaking out because they are not privy to the campaign strategy; I'm fine with that because they should not show their hand until it's too late for McCain camp to do anything about it. Great news Obama has increased his donor base, I have confidence he will do well in coming debates. People who are on the fence and maybe some who will rethink their position will take a second look at what the democratic nominee has to offer......KEEP THE FAITH.

Obama runs his campaign like a business. Businesses not only have to cut wasteful spending but they have to make money as well. I've not heard one word from the McCain campaign on how they're planning on making money for this country. Obama has shown for 20 months, consistently, how to make money for this country with voluntarily dollars. McCain counts on my tax dollars that I otherwise would not be giving him. This is one federal earmark that should be cut.

The corporate media with its idolatry of Palin and its focus on idle chatter is complicit in trying to undermine the Obama campaign. The NYT is a prime example. Printing stories without factchecking to back it up seems to be the order of the day.

Just a few months ago Obama was faced by cheering foreigners "Obama" "Obama". After 2 years of hearing "Yes We Can" people are finally wondering "Yes We Can What?". Obama gives a laundry list which sounds like a state of the union speech. I will do this, that and the other thing but I won't tell you the specifics like how are we going to pay for it. Will anybody be affected whether poor, middle class, or upper class? Give some specifics Obama. Instead of flipping on every issue.

I felt a more urgent need to donate To Obama's campaign in August because McCain was attacking with his lies and it was becoming clear that the GOP was taking the low road. This month Palin's emergence on the scene has caused me to donate even more because she is absolutely unqualified to lead and she has energized the GOP base. The September Obama fund raising numbers in response to Palin will be staggering.

The problem is that it makes Americans feel like they are somehow being educated about what's going on but that is false. We're fighting wars on 2 fronts, civil liberties are going down the drain (why don't you talk about Obama's reversal on FISA!!)and we're drawing a line in the sand with Russia not to mention forcing the public to finance the private profits of Mac & Mae and possibly others.

Reid ,New York,NEW YORK — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 15:03:45 GMT

Obama has shown great managment skills and good decision making. He found one of the most powerful tools in the world, the internet. When campaining against Clinton he pulled in almost twice as much money and continues to do so. This country needs a good manager and with the intelligence to make good decisions. There are two canidates and one believes in almost a "military" type nation with domestic issues and policies coming in second.(Like Bush). Another that puts domestic problems, issues and policies on the same importance as having a strong military. We have long lost our general respect around the world. 9/11 had the world waving the American Flag and the world at our back. Iraq changed all that and the way Bush handled it. Communication to the international communities is important. Deplomacy can be a powerful weapen. Listening and not just talking or threatening is part of communication. To regain the respect of the world, we need somone that can commincate and with the brains to use deplomacy like Kennedy and Reagan. That does not mean having a weak military or not being ready to use it if we need to. But only after all else has failed or we are attacked first. Bush and McCain failed to have an exit strategy when we went in to Iraq. Bush has now left us with a military spread so thin, that if we were attacked, we would have a hard time addressing it in a quick response.A good manager or President with good advisers would have seen that coming and would have taken steps not to let us be in this situation. We should have put our forces into Afg and finished that war which would have been won by now if we handnt gone in to fill Bushs agenda in Iraq and the SOB that attcked NY is still free and alive. Obama has shown through his campaine that he makes good decisions, manages well, talks issues and problems in American on an even playing field while stressing the importance of a strong military. He is great at communicating both on domestic, international and military issues. Obama 08

I also would like to share with all of the Obama supporters, that I joined a volunteer group yesterday here in Georgia. I made 138 phone calls, out of the 138 phone calls only 24 of those phone calls were answered. I learned that the polls are absolutely nothing to me. I believe we will win big in November. Go to BarackObama website, and join a volunteer group so that all of us can work until November 4. Also, I have taken 2 days off in November so that I can be available to take people to the polls. It is a good idea for those who can take that day off. Also make it to the polls early, so that you don't be lock out by the GOP polls manipulators, This is important.

The MINUTE Sarah was finished, I was on the Obama website with my credit card in hand... and tears in my eyes. GAWD I hate Sarah Palin. I absolutely cannot stand to look at her or hear her voice. What a lying, sneering shrew!!

Sent some more $ in the following week.

Will send some more this week, too.

This is important, people. The only reason Sarah is so popular is because she keeps LYING in her speeches. Her lies have been proven to be lies, but she STILL keeps lying. I guess the more you lie, it somehow becomes the truth?

Keep sending in that money, people. This is important. We simply cannot afford to let a person like Sarah Palin anywhere NEAR the White House.

We only have 50+ days to take back the white house. Lets help make next month even bigger. If we have to throw all we have into it to make this thing work then lets do it. The Republicunts have thrown money at a situation for years and it has worked in helping them get it but once aquired they have thrown it away and ran us into the deficit we are in now due to the war. I say again of course it worked. anybody would agree but if i was losing and i threw billions of dollars and extra troops at the opposition, I would win eventually too. Its time we put our money where our mouth is in the best interest of the country. Many right wing fanatics will never agree with Obama's views due to the simple fact that many idiots over here are hell bent on racial devide, religious devides, economical devides and the other percentage just lives in a bubble because they simply cant relate to the challenges of the rest of the world. Lets put the steam back into the engine and get this thing rolling FULL SPEED AHEAD. Lets donate that extra 5-10 dollars and help with the ads. help with the registration and campaining and debating and help debunk the lies coming from the McCain campain.

I'm honestly not surprised that he's raised so much this month. The lies from the lying McCain campaign have stirred something very deep in the electorate. I've never contributed to a campaign before this election year. This year, I've been donating $50 out of every paycheck for Obama since May. We have to take back our country. While I can't really afford to have that much money out of my account every week, but its an investment in the future of my children and our country that I can't afford NOT to make. Everyone I know-even my Republican friends and family-are sick of the lying ads of the McCain campaign. Three of them have said they don't even think they are going to vote. He's turning people off of his campaign left and right. They aren't impressed with an inexperienced governor and they aren't impressed with a flip-flopping wash cloth like McCain. I'm trying to convert them to Obama-and I think I'm succeeding.

Obama's camp has been the sleaziest and most desperate, and mostly hypocritical I've ever seen. Some of the things, remind me of the Bush campaign.

I wou;dn't put it past them for collecting from same sources and rich sources, but claim other people's names.

I agree with others that have left the OBama camp, that once you take a look at what "CHANGE" Obama is offering, here isnt but a government agency for every solution and no way to pay for it. Also the capital gains scam which will hurt everyone, not just the rich.

On the previous post, (Bridge to Nowhere). I'm surprised she uses that line because she seemed to get a bit huffy with Charlie Gibson when he called it that and she responded with "it's not a bridge to nowhere" and then talked about the airport and the few residents on the island. That chic needs to get her stories straight. I'm so disgusted with her way of talking and now it seems we're playing the "word game". Now when she says things like the earmarks, it doesn't sound as thought she's against them, just the abuse of them, which she seemed to abuse them quite well....so much for the straight talk express. I wonder if any of her supporters are getting discourage or disgusted or if they are still in denial. Media, you need to help the Dems out, start hitting McCain's camp real hard and keep it fair between candidates. And remember, when both sides say the same phrase, it doesn't mean that the one side should get more publicity for it, and I think you know who we're talking about.

Obama is too smart for most Americans and those folks will use illogical motivations such as a 'commercial' or 'the race factor' and vote for Mc Cain. It's sad but true. At the end of the day politics are politics and I'm not sure what real progress will be made in the WH regardless of who's occupying it. Even if Obama wins, you KNOW that the GOP will draw definite white lines in which Obama knows NOT to cross....other wise, we'll see another JFK all over again. I'd really like to think otherwise but the truth is, our country isn't important to those at the top. When you don't have to worry about paying for food or filling up your gas tank.........your job, well it's just a job and it's much easier to debate topics than to take action. Those in the WH that do stand for change aren't strong willed enough to go against the masses and those that really run the WH. You know Microsoft, Walmart, Exxon Mobil, the Federal Reserve. I hope I'm wrong but I guess only time will tell.

I know you are thinking that Palin is running for VP not POTUS. But, McCain is just an old man compared to her energy level and If the ticket is elected do you think McCain will be the point man in the administration or the "front" man ? My guess is the latter and Palin will be in charge.

I was just watching Meet the Press and once again heard Tom Brokaw say that Americans need to get to know Obama. I have yet to hear anyone in the media say the same about Ms. Palin. After 19 months of examination, it is apparent that Americans do not want to know Senator Obama. Let's be honest for a moment. It dos not matter how much money Obama raises,we Americans do not want even a(half)Black man as president. We prefer the devil we know (McCain) and the one who knows nothing (Palin) over someone who we have been trained to distrust, regardless of education (uppity) or upbringing. Senator Obama and his wife have done everything (worked hard, good educations, help your community) that conservatives have demanded of minorities, yet they are villified because they are not ordinary enough. The biggest change we need is in mindset and attitude, and Mccain/Palin are rightfully secure in the fact that we will not do that when it comes to Black Americans.

One thing to Obama donators... don't forget to donate to the DNC, too. A lot of McCain's money is coming from the RNC, which is outraising the DNC.
If you can afford it, help the DNC, too ;)

God Bless America, We will unite and stand up for real change. We will not be distracted by lies. We are excited and energized to get to work and turn this country around from the bottom up. We will work hard through November 4th! We will show the world that Karl Rove politics do not work in our great country anymore because we actually do put our country first! Obama/Biden '08

We send a check to Obama's campiagn each month and the efforts of the "little" people are showing. The media is trying it's best to help Obama lose this election but we're smarter than that. He's got a great ground game, hundreds of thousand of new voters and a great message...and a lot of money. He's even done his best to stay above the fray with all the negativity coming from McCain. This is great news... time to go write my check for September.

Why is how much money a candidate has in the bank
any indicator of his abilities to be a great leader?
It's what the person actually has the intelligence to do with his position, not how much money he holds.
So if Obama has more in the bank, won't that go against the liberal attitudes about money being the
social evil of the world? Kind of hypocritical in my opinion.

Full Moon – Why support conservatives who listen to FOX News and talk (“hate”) radio, who want a one-party state so they (fundamentalists, war mongering neocons, white supremacists) can impose their own narrow views on the rest of the nation and the world?

As for Obama being a terrorist, I’m tired of people posting this garbage (which started with ignorant Emails long ago), so please provide references to credible sources if you’re going to make such an extreme charge.

I hope Obama does know how to throw a punch, because it’s the only way to reason with Republicans – they won’t listen to logic and facts, that’s for sure.

If we can get past the meaningless sound bites (“cut and run” is a favorite), are you saying that cooperation, diplomacy, thoughtfulness, intelligence, etc. are bad things and what we need are common street thugs to move our country forward?

Please, educate yourself about the candidates and the issues. Otherwise, do our country a favor and stay home on Election Day.

Obama/Biden - 2008!

The official retirement age in the civil sercive is 65, but would you hire a 72 years old: man or woman, armed with a resume to work for your company if you are an employer of labor? The Presidency is government job number 1 (one), and how will Americans now hire a man who's seven (7) older than the maximum retirement age-65, to lead America? Joke apart, to make matters worst, MacCain cannot even operate the compter, so, what change are the MacCain crowd and mobsters talking about? Summarily, the Republican Party in its convention got one thing very right, and that's, if you don't wear the military uniforms, you are not a patriotic American. And by the way, what's the percentage of our men and women in uniforms or in combat, out of the 300 million Americans who are not? We the rest are anti America! They the puritans and POWs' are the patriots and natural occupiers of the White House. What do you think?

John McCain hasn't had a major outing on the campaign trail since Sarah Palin has been chosen as his running mate. That is a clear sign that the republican strategist, not John McCain, knew that they would not be able to win the general election without doing something over the top. I believe this was a decision that was made within an hour or so after the historic acceptance of his party's nomination by Barack Obama. If John McCain will select the next vice president in that fashion what does that say about how his decisions for cabinet member selections. And it's very apparent that Sarah Palin knows nothing about anything. I know you've noticed how she is dodging the media, Full Moon.

In other news, John McCain has voted against new benefits for servicemembers. In his own words the benefits to be received were too generous. How can you ask our servicemembers (myself included) to put theur lives on the line, deploy to Iraq 4 and 5 times and call the benefits to be received too generous? John McCain can go to hell.

BARACK OBAMA HAS MY VOTE IN NOVEMBER!!

I donated to Obama immediately following Sarah Palin's convention speech, and I'm sure a lot of people did the same.
