Time to Light a Fire Under McCain NOW!!!! (WI Rally)
The Weekly Standard ^

Posted on 10/09/2008 2:11:45 PM PDT by DocT111

Waukesha, Wisconsin -- In response to a broad question about how Barack Obama "got here" -- presumably got his lead -- John McCain didn't name Bill Ayers but spoke of him directly. McCain said "We don't care about an old washed up terrorist and his wife" who said earlier this decade that he wished they were more successful. (Several in the crowd chanted: "Yes we do!")

McCain noted that Obama had referred to Ayers as "just a guy in his neighborhood," and said "we know that's not true. We need to know the full extent of that relationship to know whether he's telling the truth to the American public."

Sarah Palin, following up, took a shot at the media. "Mainstream media isn't already asking all these questions, you guys have to help us....When will the questions be asked and when will we get answers?!"

UPDATE: The next question came from a black McCain supporter, who reminded McCain of the candidate's plea at the convention for his supporters to do everything possible to ensure a victory. The supporter said: "I doubt that anyone has taken, pardon me, the ass-whoopin' I have taken for doing that." He then implored McCain to go after Barack Obama at the next debate and asked him to raise ACORN and Reverend Wright. "I am begging you, sir," he said, as the crowd stood and applauded.

"Yes, I'll do that," McCain responded, before promising to offer "a positive plan for America's economy."

Okay.

McCain has JUST GONE ON RECORD as saying he will ask The One (piss be unto him) about ACORN at the next debate.

I will be listening, Senator.

This is what I’ve been talking about. Where is our Navy Fighter Pilot that would shoot down and enemy of his country? Come on John, rip this guy a new butt and send him back to where he came from......Indonesia.

Obama loves the accusations, keeps the focus on him.
Increasingly, the election is all about Barack Hussein Osama.
As long as something is said about him, doesn’t matter what it is, the spotlight is on The One.
Then, he gets all the free time he wants from DBM to deny and to moan about the nasty Republicans making nasty attacks on po’ lil’ Bammy, who only cares about “making democracy work.”
Great soppin’ sobfest last night with Charlie Gibson....
more to come.

I thought I read on another thread that Obamanation hired ACORN to do GOTV. He did this knowing that they commited voter fraud in 2004. Why isn’t McCain jumping on this in a big way? Nothing is more scary to many Americans than a threat to our democracy.
