McCain rallies in Lakeville; wants to be 'respectful' (Groan)
The Minneapolis Star and Tribune ^

Posted on 10/10/2008 4:29:46 PM PDT by DocT111

Republican John McCain is telling supporters in Minnesota to stay respectful when it comes to Democrat Barack Obama.

McCain interrupted boos at a town hall meeting Friday in the Twin Cities suburb of Lakeville after he said he admired Obama and his accomplishments.

McCain says he wants supporters to point out the differences between what Obama says and what he has done in the Senate, but he wants them to do it respectfully.

About 2,000 people came to Lakeville South High School for an event that was part campaign rally, part town hall meeting.

Earlier today, he appeared at a rally in La Crosse, Wis., exhorting a crowd to help him win the White House and promising a balanced federal budget before "the end of my term in office."

"We have 25 days until the day of choosing a president," McCain said. "Are you ready to help me and [running mate] Sarah Palin win the state of Wisconsin?"

The crowd in the La Crosse Center's South Hall responded with a defeaning roar of support.

I just saw clips of the MN Town Hall Meeting. Some people in the audience asked if he was going to go after Obama. McCain said "Obama was a decent family man" and told the public not to boo him.

Gosh - what a difference from this morning in LaCrosse - I don't know what to make of this...

After the indictments and convictions, let's be just as respectful as we are to any Enemy of the State.

Make signs to tape on inside of top or bottom of back window (no obstruction of view -- or inside back window of car

VOTE NO ACORN
VOTE NO OBAMA
GOP THIS TIME

The only way Barack Obama will be elected President is for us to fail to tell enough voters.

Barack Obama & the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis

Listen to this Interview of James Simpson, by Sandy Rios, Tuesday 9/30 - WYLL 1160AM, Chicago, IL
From http://www.culturecampaign.com/culturecorner.aspx

Simpson documents his research in his article, providing Web links. He provides a rough flow chart.

"CHANGE"

Further corroboration on Obama & The Cloward-Piven Strategy:

Obama, Voter Fraud & Mortgage Meltdown, by James H. Walsh, former federal prosecutor.

On Barack Obama's Marxist connections in Chicago

Web Archives Confirm Barack Obama Was Member Of [Marxist] Socialist 'New Party' In 1996

On Alice Palmer, the South Side's Marxist State Senator, Who Hand Picked Barack Obama to Succeed Her

More on Obama's Marxist alliance with Radical Islamists:

Barack Obama campaigning with taxpayers' money for Raila Odinga, Marxist & pro-Islamist, despotic leader in Kenya

Barack Obama & Khalid Al-Mansour (old Black Panther comrade of Ayers & Dohrn and likely of Alice Palmer) who raised funds to get Obama into Harvard

And then there are... Herbert and Marion Sandler, the Pritzkers, and the "loose lips" of Charles Schumer and Harry Reid (and Henry Paulson is not above suspicion, with his control-freak power play and Goldman Sachs cronyism).

Get these breakthrough items out to everyone you know (or anything even more informative that comes up) -- voters, media, officials and staff of both parties, everyone. We have time if we act now.

When are McCain, Obama, and Biden going to resign from the Senate like Bob Dole did?

There’s a time and a place for everything.

If McCain is still trailing in the polls after the third debate-and he probably will- then I think you’ll see him get after Obama.

Remember - due to the “Kill him” comment made at a recent rally, the feds are doing an investigation. That may be why McCain is trying to calm things down. Or he could be giving Hussein a false sense of security.

The clip that Carl Cameron showed on Fox was enough.

It's no surprise one socialist respecting another.

he said he admired Obama and his accomplishments.

What accomplisments might those be, John?

This dreck is why I say and mean that McCain is better than the obscene Obama fungus but he is not presidential material. We're screwed unnecessarily no matter who wins.

For those Freepers who criticize me because I think McCain has run an ineffective campaign, here you go.

I respectfully suggest to McCain that people need to earn my respect — and Obama has earned none.

You can be respectful, but you still have to point out the differences between yourself and the other candidate. If you don’t point out who Obama is, you give him a free pass to create any myth he wants.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GOD I DON’T EVEN BELIEVE IN... HE IS NOT LOSING. A rational analysis of the polls has us at 296 EVs. It’s no reason to stop fighting, but let’s put this defeatism away. Dems aren’t gonna get 47/33 turnout on election day, ACORN or no ACORN.

Did Dole resign from the Senate or just the Majority Leader position? Not that it mattered in the end...
