Yup. OBAMA was right on the war;
OBAMA seems to be right on the economy situation;
And Sen. McCain and cronies? (GRAMM and the Deregulators-that could be a really bad band) Flailing about with quick-trigger comments and positions, back-and-forth, all wrong, just
ANOTHER BAIL OUT brought to the taxpayers FROM THE JUDGMENT OF KEATING 5 !

"...Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking..." This statment by McCain deserves more attention than just reporting that Obama talked about it in a speech. It puts the lie to everything he has said this week, plus he claims credit for the deregulation of the banking industry. People deserve to know.

Great shots. Should all be ads
pounding home each point with quotes and video clips and senate votes from Sen. McCain and the Repubs.
Keep linking the faces of LOBBYISTS and bank connections with being on the McCain campaign payroll.
Tough, hard. 77% AND COUNTING!

McCain is running as fast as he can from his record on deregulation... he's likely to say anything and everything over the next couple of weeks to keep the narrative away from his long history of deregulation, including his vote for the Gramm-Leach-Bliley act in 1999 that largely got us into this mess!

He's flip-flopped on just about everything... now he's skirting his own campaign finance reforms:

No competition, no advertising. We'll save a bundle, and we'll look good in our National Uniforms. Then we can watch Barack lecture us every night on the tellie.

Every day a new verbal gaffe from the Dumb and Dumber ticket. Yeah the fundamental deregulator wants to deregulate the health care industry to ensure we get ripped off for essential health care services and that the insurance companies can deny payment without supervision or responsibility. Proof that Flip Flop McCain can't keep his talk straight!

The $700 billion taxpayer funded bailout of Wall Street is nothing less than a bailout of the republican party and the McCain campaign who brought us Reagan's Voo Doo economics that created this whole mess. This bailout is nothing but stealing from our children and grandchildren and we adults should be apologizing to them for the reckless deregulation brought on by the lobbyist loving Reagan foot soldiers. Heck of a job Johnny!

Go Obama/Biden 08/12!

Keep it up Barack!
The voters need to be aware how out of touch
Mccain is with middle class America and what
is GOOD for this country.
He and Bush really pushed to privatize Social
Security. And, am sure, since he is a non-
regulation guy, we would be in as big a mess
as we are with his banking policies.
We cannot let the republicans continue to
destroy our great country.

McCain's thoughts, words and position is so scattered. The only way Tucker Bounds can keep sweeping up the stuff McCain spews is by throwing it on to the opposition. Yea, Tucker we "get it" alright.

The debates will bring it all home.

Great campaign fundraising by location map MSNBC!!!! Interesting data state by state for each candidate. I see Obama gets more donations in Alaska than McCain. Great tool. Thanks!

As long as FOX news is allowed to lie without being called on it by other media outlets, other than Keith Oberman and The Daily Show our national discourse will never be of any benefit. It's simple. Don't allow people to say what 'some one else meant', use the video of them contradicting themselves and then allow them to explain. Don't allow them to change the meaning of words! "Fundamentals" this is a term that has been taught in economics classes for a hundred years. The media needs to fijnd a backbone and realize their responsibity to the Nation! Allowing a party mouthpeice to take up valuable aitr time repeating the same lies serves no one!!!

"Barack Obama has proven he will say and do anything to put his superficial ambitions over the real challenges Americans are facing.”

How the hell can the McCain camp make statements like that with a straight face?? When their candidate has changed faces so many times just this week alone that I'm suprised he didn't give himself whiplash. Combine that with all his many, many gaffes this week, and it's SO CLEAR this man is putting his quest for the white house first and foremost. Country First my a$$. John McCain First is more like it.

I can't believe we let McCain and Graham get away with this crap. All my savings up in smoke because they wanted to deregulate Wall street like thy did the energy sector. That got us skyrocketing gas prices thanks to futures trading and Enron.

Not he wants to do that to healthcare! OMG! And if he dies we have Palin in change of the economy.

Not this time, even die hard republicans need to wake up, we do need change in Washington, and not a pretender like McCain.

Scare tactics? McCain said he would cut spending and he said SS cuts are on the table. He backed Bush's plan to "privitize". I am at times incredulous that McCain and his people tell outright lies, and then when called on them, they lie again! Somehow he seems to continue to fool about half the people. Only ignorance and/or racism can explain anyone voting for McCain.

MSM - FR

Please make more than just a footnote that these dishonorable people are trying to flat lie on a daily basis to win this election. You need to elevate this loudly and as often as they do it so the lowest info voters get the message. Obama needs to be called out as well when he does. To pretend "both sides do it" is irresponsible.

When you take your head out of the sand take a look around. Obama's whole point is that we're NOT the #1 superpower in the world anymore. But there's hope. There's no question that people want to immigrate here, but your comparison is like saying we're the thinnest kid at Fat Camp. Obama will rebuild our prestiguous status in the world and put us back on that pedistool where we belong. OBAMA-BIDEN 08!!!

Senator Obama has my caucasian vote for sure!! — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 18:38:58 GMT

I agree with Senator Obama 100%. He is saying it right! Tucker is an intentional idiot- he says stupid things because he is paid to say stupid things that are lies. He would have to 'disappear' if he told the truth like Fironia told the truth, mccain and palin couldn't run a corportation which implies they sure can't run a nation of corporations!

I would like to remind people that the office of president and vice-presidet are 'public servant' offices. There is limited privacy. If you run for office, the need to be open is inheritant. I want to see Palin's tax returns for at least the past 2 years that she has been a governor. That is fair.

Or

are we going to continue as a nation to support a dual dictatorship inwhich the only accountability our "public servants" have is to say "no comment" and "executive priviledge".

At this point with Cheney's private business in Iraq and his income secure because he moved it overseas(being protected by the taxpayers) and the Bush legacy a travesty although he personally made millions and has increased his wealth as president, it appears that even with an intelligent, effective leader such as Senator Obama ready to take on the job, the ONLY reason he is not more ahead in the polls is his race. How incredibly sad that the bigots of this nation would rather wallow in a depression for years than select a competent leader.

That's what I'm talking about. On every hand Obama is able to refute McCain's lies with the facts and McCain's own statements and record. Then he offers his plan. Those things he has fought for in Illinois and the policies he wants to put in place as president.

McCain, on the other hand, has lied, misrepresented and flip-flopped on a daily basis, saying whatever he thinks will go over big that day and provide himself a good sound bite. Even if his proposals were good, which they are not, how can we believe he would do it?

But, the thing that burns me up the most, is that he believes those of us who see and hear him on a regular basis are stupid and that the racists will use his lies to convince LIV voters that they are true.

DON"T LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT! ANYONE WHO LIEs LIKE THAT TO GET THE POSITION, WILL LIE EVEN MORE TO KEEP IT!!!!!
