Last Stand For Outgunned McCain

Last Stand For Outgunned McCain

With only seven days to go, it seems almost clear that Obama has won it already. He raised more than $603m while McCain scraped together just over $380m.

Obama's ads are everywhere and are accessable to the less-well off members of society - such as in between sports events on TV. I'm not maiking any kind of judgement call on people who watch sport on TV, just saying that if you can't afford to go to the event, you watch it on the box.

Yet maybe it's not so clear-cut as to who has the more obvious campaigning; - many people have still not registered and some that have registered are being denied due to computer errors in a new system. There's also the fact that McCain is a celebrated war hero and we all know how America loves them war heroes.

Ha! spammer

Yeah, I was going to reply to that guy, Rajiv or something, who posted a money-making comment, but the comment was deleted before I could reply to it. He kinda reminds me of 'mary4u', who seemed to be my own personal spammer a couple of days ago.

It was a comment spammer

He popped up late last night and spammed a number of her articles with a money making link. JOIN XOMBA IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD!

@Hellcat... which stalker?

Who's your stalker? Can't tell because of the way the comments are arranged here.

Sour Grapes, vbm

The Republican Party is going to lost the White House and many seats in both the House and Senate, possibly making Congress filibuster-proof. That eventuality is an indictment of Rovian politics that have tanked our economy, made enemies where we once had friends, and turned the government from a representative republic into socialism for the rich. It is interesting that you whine about a black Democrat being elected into the highest office in the land for the first time in history, but you DENY the damage that the Internal Revenue Service has done by overstepping its authority under threat of force and the usurpation of power from We the People by the Federal Reserve Act. It is the latter two entities who have stolen our futures and those of our children and grandchildren by forcing Congress to borrow at usury rates what the Constitution says it is supposed to mint for itself. Rather than have the Congress only spend what it can bring in through taxes, those entities allowed for "EZ" financing of the ambitions and adventures of imperfect men in Washington. Whining about what "might" happen if a black man gets in office in disingenuous because the damage to our economy has long ago been done and not by Barack Obama. The time has come when for you and other Republicans to accept the fact that you are going to lose the election and begin to focus on helping President Obama fix the country.

Where's the proof, lmorovan?

The proof, as they say, is in the pudding. The trouble is you don't even show us the milk that goes in the pudding. All you've shown us is the kool aid that paranoid people within the Republican Party have been drinking. JOIN XOMBA IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD!

Maybe they don't warrant media attention because those ideas only exist in the overly paranoid minds within the Republican Party who would rather see the country destroyed than have a black Democrat run the country? You don't seem to want to post links to the "facts" you "report" but I've been able to impeach what you've posted so far by dispassionately viewing the entirety of what was claimed. Much of what you post comes from conservative tin foil hat blog sites that play your fears like a Stradivarius. JOIN XOMBA IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD!

The circular argument of media "bias"

"Most reporters are Democrat." As Jdub points out, even if that's true, it doesn't mean that's going to influence everything they do. There probably are more Democrats than Republicans who are reporters, but instead of being some conspiracy, maybe it's because Republicans for the most part choose not to go into journalism. And I wouldn't be surprised if some Republicans don't want to go into journalism because they don't want to work in a field with so many "liberals."

like I said, you are blind

What ever you or I say the media is, liberal or slight slant right, doesn't really matter. What matters is they are blatantly affecting this election by slamming the Republican Party on petty bull crap and giving Obama and the Dems a free pass on the very issues that would sway public opinion on the candidates. Obama's economic plan is simply another BIG Welfare plan, to take money others make, and give it to those who haven't earned it. Its absolutely NOT Governments job to redistribute wealth. The reason we HAVE income taxes is to raise revenues to RUN the Government, not to REDISTRIBUTE wealth. If individuals who EARNED the wealth want to REDISTRIBUTE it, then thats called charity....and thats great. When Government takes it, then thats called TYRANNY. The American Dream is DEAD, if Obama's brand of CHANGE is unleashed on the American people. 46% of the 95% of people Obama claims to be giving tax breaks don't even contribute to the tax base. How can they recieve a tax cut when they don't pay taxes to begin with. ANY MONEY THEY GET FROM TAX REVENUE WILL BE STRAIGHT WELFARE. What is it that that the idiotic Obama supporters don't understand about this issue.

The "liberal" media

If the "liberal" media would follow the true liberal tradition, I would be all for it. But it has become an instrument of the most reactionary, extremist, socialist, anti American voices and agendas, which makes it totally deceitful and unreliable, and to a point, dangerous.

jdud, read all of this and realize how you've been blinded....

Are you going to try to tell me that the media would have not beaten the Ayers and Rev. Wright relationships to a pulp had John McCain been accused of having them. And un-like the $150,000 Palin wardrobe, the mainstream media hasn't said a word about the $800,000 The Obama camp gave Acorn for "Stage Lighting and Production". Nor are they saying anything about the $250K small business "Joe the Plumber" tax penalty threshold now being reduced to $150K. Nor are they saying anything about Obama's plan for making it mandatory for people that have corporate 401K's to contribute 5% into a government managed program that will return a 3% yield, and the people managing this program are the same people that have done such a wonderful job with our social security system funds. What ever happened to letting people decide for themselves where they want to invest their hard earned money. Nor do you hear Obama's anti-American remarks regarding the US Constitution. You hear of race being brought up in this election; without fail, it is the Obama camp that brings it up. He is the biggest racist in the country. Nor do you hear the mainstream media mention how Obama funneled thousands of dollars of cash to Rashid Khalidi's anti-Israel Foundation through his work on the Woods Fund. In 2000, Rashid Khalidi, a former PLO operative who justified Palestinian terrorism as contributing to “political enlightenment,” threw a fundraiser for his friend Barack Obama. Obama already plans a bill that will cost tax payers $850,000,000,000.00 to feed the world. Do you not think that our economy and starving families should be taken care of before feeding the rest of the planet? But you don’t hear about this from the mainstream media either. You don't hear these things from the main stream media because the drive by’s biased toward Obama and the liberal left-wing socialistic policies his bring to this country. Imorovan, like me, just doesn't like to see the real issues swept under the rug while the left-wingers liberals have absolutely nothing to talk about other than beating the hell out of "Joe the Plumber" and Sarah Palin's wardrobe. The imminent international crisis should Obama be elected has been defined through his relationship with the PLO and his sympathy for the Palestinians. He will back them in some form and turn his back on Isreal, which will empower the Palestinians and the entire Muslim world. All the Obama supporters say they want change, but you are too blind to see that the change you are asking for will bring this country to its’ knees. Careful what you wish for, you just might get it. What is going to happen in this country if Obama doesn’t win? Revolution? Street riots? Or, what if he does win?
