Well. I guess we know what these people think now about Obama. Probably not good news for McCain in he long run. I baffles me how people can be called what they are called by Obama and sill support him in those parts. Damn shame.

It’s Scranton. They’re Democrats. They have voted for Democrats forever. We used to watch the Democrat ward heelers go around Court House Square and round up the drunks to take to the polls. Just before closing they would send in flunkies to vote for the names who did not show up yet.

They will vote for Obama, and spend the next four years complaining about all his stupid actions and traitorous behavior - and then they will vote for him again, just like they will vote for Casey again.

It’s Scranton. They’re Democrats.

Sure is a big disconnect between stories like this and the barrage of polls showing Obama leading in PA by 15 points.

If he were really up by 15 points in PA, why have both campaigns spent the weekend there? Both sides must know the media polls are crap.

It’s pretty bad when voters say they’ll take the “smug”, Marxist community organzier over the American war hero just because the “smug” guy is black.

"If he did that, he'd go a long way toward helping himself."

Are you kidding? He won't soil his hand with one that touched a Bible or a gun.

McCain could win Lackawanna County (Scranton Area) if he would send Governor Palin there. Lots and lots of PUMA’s and even a local Democrat personality who has become a McCain/Palin supporter.

FALSE rumors about Obama being Muslim??
I don’t think so, and neither will you when you go to
‘The Obama File’, http://theobamafile.com/
Read the section entitled, ‘Islam’ and the section entitled, ‘Religion’.
This massive file is written by our own FReeper and great American, Beckwith.
the information in this file is from (and backed up by links to) Obama’s own books, speeches, news articles and matters of record.

IMPORTANT
Be sure to add your name and town and email - or they won’t read them.
When emailing. they won’t read mass emails so put just one email add in the “to” line then click on BBC at the end of that line. a BCC line will open just above subject line. copy paste the rest of the addresses in there and each recipient will see ONLY their name.

And while your’re at it, call out McCain on his dumb remarks re; Obama and tell him to wake up and get out there and FIGHT.
CALLING OBAMA A RESPECTABLE FAMILY MAN THAT WE NEED NOT FEAR IS OUTRAGEOUS!

McCAIN TAKING THE ABUSE AND INSULTS FROM OBAMA AND REFUSING TO FIGHT BACK IS OUTRAGEOUS!

WE’RE NOT TURNING THE WHITE HOUSE KEYS OVER TO BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA- NOT IF WE ON FR, RUSH, HANNITY AND FOX HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!

FReep McCAIN/ MSM OUT.

HOW LONG CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS??

.

McCain is losing this campaign because he refuses to fight Obama and his lies, and dirty tactics such as ACORN voter fraud. He’s just been rolling over (or bending over, I should say) and accepting the abuse heaped upon him- and expecially Sarah Palin.
The anemic attempts by the McCain camp to fight back within the last few days just ain’t gonna get it.
He should have been hitting Obama back hard months ago.
He needs to get out there every day and FIGHT BACK.
Email Republican headquarters/McCain.

FReep ‘EM OUT!

CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS?

REMIND McCAIN THAT HE HAS AN OBLIGATION AS OUR CANDIDATE TO FIGHT BACK!
To h*ll with bipartisian BS!
To h*ll with PC!
To h*ll with ‘conducting a respectful campaign’as McCain has said, and vowed to do.

RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGNING WENT STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW WITH OBAMA’S NASTY, BRUTAL COMMENTS SUCH AS;
‘lipstick on a pig’ and ‘You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.’

Take off the gloves, McCain!

Hit the Marxist/Muslim hard with Ayers, Acorn, Violation of Logan Act, abortion, 2nd admendment, Campaigning for Odinga!!
Get off the d*mned economy issue. State that Obama/Democrats/ACORN caused this meltdown. State McCain offered a proposal to avert the meltdown and GET OFF IT.
Obama is counting on keeping this going to take the spotlight off his sordid past and dirty dealings!
NOTHING is more important than waking America up to this Marxist/Muslim!! DO IT. EXPOSE HIM!

Now that is racism.

“It’s Scranton. They’re Democrats.”

If McCain had any chance of winning PA he needs these democrats.

“I work two jobs and my husband works a job,” she said. “That’s terrible. Where’s the American dream in that?”

When you vote for Obama lady, you will be working three jobs and your husband two to pay for all the taxes and yes you will get change to raise your family on.

I'm amused at just how flummoxed some of us seem to be with stories like this. So 'Rat folk are voting for OsamaObama - reluctantly. AND?!

How many of us are voting for McCain - reluctantly?

I would be willing to bet my next paycheck that better than 90% of ALL Americans ('Rats and 'Pubes) are wondering just where the hell our respective parties have gone. I have. For YEARS.

Thanks, "shrub". And thank you, too "Juan".

McCain could win Lackawanna County (Scranton Area) if he would send Governor Palin there.

Actually, you are probably correct on that. She is very well liked up there.

In another example of the incompetence of the McCain campaign staff, they lost another of countless opportunities when they did not send Palin right into Scranton the day after the convention and have her say something like "I have guns and religion, and whatever I say here in Scranton is the same thing I will say in San Francisco".

Instead, they sent her to Gibson and Couric.

What exactly does she want, to sit on her ass and collect a ton of cash?
Many people have to work two jobs because of taxes, and also many people work a lot because they love to buy things they shouldn’t to impress their friends and family.

It's also the wall street thing, ya’ know?
McCain has NEVER said to Obama in a debate after being accused of being like Bush, “Well, Barrack, the financial mess has nothing to do with Pres. Bush, it was YOUR party that has been in power for two years in congress, and it's YOUR party who precipitated the collapse of two of the biggest mortgage companies in this country.”
