Nothing like addressing a house full of self-proclaimed racists.

Idiot.

‘My HOME plan allows families who need help to apply — either at their local Post Office or online — for a new, guaranteed, fixed-rate, 30-year mortgage that will allow them to remain in their home, and raise their family with dignity.’

Wow. That kinda sounds like OUR HOME plan. Wow.

[Czar]

Lets see who wants to defend McCain on this one.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

So? You can customize that speech for any group you’re speaking to. And Senator McCain will in the coming weeks.

[hedgetrimmer]

I'm an unapologetic supporter of NAFTA, the Central American Free Trade Agreement, and the Colombian Free Trade Agreement, and why I believe a hemispheric free trade agreement is a worthy and necessary goal

Only one question to ask the candidates in this election.... Are you a globalist or an American?

Nothing like addressing a house full of self-proclaimed racists.

Idiot.

The disdain for, and total lack of respect, for politicians is growing at an exponential rate. They continue to destroy America for their own empowerment.

[hedgetrimmer]

But these people are God's children, who wanted simply to be Americans, and we cannot forget the humanity! --John McCain

Dear John,
We haven't forgotten.

[shadowgovernment]

Just when the fear Obuma McCainiaks get me thinking about voting for him..he opens his mouth and I regain my
sanity.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Put me on your list. :)

He’s running for ‘President of the United States,’ not just ‘President of a Few Disgruntled White Males.’ ;)

Why not spend your time defeating Obama, versus slamming McCain? Where was your outrage when Hillary and Obama were courting the Hispanic vote? And, yes, I know who La Raza is; I don’t approve of their organization, but when are the other MEN in My Country going to get off their @sses and man up to save Her from south-of-the-border invaders? (No offense to those here in Law Enforcement, Border Patrol and the Military; I’m retired Army. I took MY turn.)

Here’s all any Conservative needs to know about Barrack Hussein Obama:

[Barrack Hussein Obama’s record in the Illinois senate:]

- Opposed the Defense of Marriage Act; would work to repeal it in the U.S. Senate; would not vote for any legislation that would restrict the ability of gays and lesbians to marry.
- Opposed the Born Alive Infant Protection Act four times in Illinois. A similar bill passed the U.S. Senate 98-0. The Born Alive bill would have prohibited a baby from being born alive but left to die according to the mother’s wishes. Obama inexplicably opposed this bill not once, twice, or three times, but four times.
- Obama took almost $90,000 in bundled contributions from the Council for a Livable World. The council is a well-known anti-defense organization.
- Obama puts rigid ideology before what’s best for the people of Illinois, and presumably he would do that as President as well. He has on several occasions made public his opposition to the NAFTA trade agreement and his belief that it must be negotiated. All the while thanks to NAFTA, Illinois exports $1.3 billion in agricultural goods to Canada.
- Obama refused to vote for a bill in the Illinois State Senate that would have increased penalties for drug traffickers.
- Obama voted against a bill that would have delivered the death penalty to gang members who murder first responders.
- Finally, just in case you thought it couldn’t get any worse, Obama was the only member of the Illinois State Senate to vote against a bill that prohibited early release for sexual predators.

Can’t kill the innocent fast enough, can’t free the guilty soon enough!

Compare that to McCain’s voting record, and there you have it! :)

Same old, same old from McPanderer.

You have four choices; McCain, Obama, Barr, stay home (Sorry No Ron Paul). Bob Barr is no different from McCain. But a vote for Barr is essentially a vote for Obama.

From AJC Online

Apparently, among some conservatives, there’s been some dispute over where Libertarians stand on the issue of illegal immigration.

“The Libertarian Party has not exactly been strong on the issue of controlling the Mexican invasion into this country,” Boortz began.

“Actually, they have been,” Barr replied.

The two gentlemen moved to the matter of what to do with the paperless people who are already here.

Said Barr:

“You set a mechanism internally to determine who is here. And if you catch folks that are here unlawfully, and do not submit themselves to a background check that those coming into this country are going to be required to do, then you send them back to their country.”

Said Boortz:

“It sounds to me that you’re saying, if you find an illegal immigrant in this country, and they’re willing to submit to a background check, that that could open the door to them staying here.”

Said Barr:

“I think as a practical matter, that makes a lot of sense. I’m not sure how you would go about rounding up millions of people and trying to deport them. The key here is security….”

Sing it, Sister!!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Some days it feels like it’s ‘You and Me Against the World,’ LOL!

I can’t let these Nattering Neighbobs of Negativity get me down. We win, either way. Either we have McCain in the White House, or we get to spend the next four or eight years poking these “Bobs” with a sharp stick because they sat on their hands in November, 2008. :)

[MaggieCarta]

Thank you, calcowgirl.

Here's my "vote" for McCain:

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Anyone still considering voting for McBama has to be suicidal. Pandering to the this group of racists is sick.

[Czar]

"Put me on your list. :)"

You just put yourself on it.

"Why not spend your time defeating Obama, versus slamming McCain?"

And why not spend your time on McCain's few good points instead of giving us the usual parade of horribles on the Muslim, as to which we are all completely up to date. He couldn't be worse.

"Where was your outrage when Hillary and Obama were courting the Hispanic vote?"

Front and center, just where it is now that McCain is continuing his long and disgusting pattern of kissing the butt of every illegal alien his words and deeds have encouraged to enter this country illegally, his amnesty obsession giving every one them one more reason to remain here where they are not wanted.

"...but when are the other MEN in My Country going to get off their @sses and man up to save Her from south-of-the-border invaders?"

Ever hear of the Minutemen? The Minuteman Project?

"Be careful what you wish for" is still good advice.

McCain has done much to earn the enmity of the conservative base. We want nothing to do with him.

[oh8eleven]

You have four choices
There a fifth (no pun intended) ...
