With just two days to go before the presidential election, an election the chattering class has flatly declared to be the most consequential of our lifetimes - or, some would have you believe, ever - Barack Obama is playing a sort-of prevent defense, waiting for the clock to run out. The Democratic nominee is sitting on the ball, hoping not to make any more gaffes that could cost him his lead in the polls.
It's easy, of course, when you have a defensive cordon provided by a news media so unabashedly in the tank for Mr. Obama that they need scuba gear, but since they are unlikely to ask their president-in-waiting these questions, his Republican rival John McCain ought to, because the American people deserve answers to them. (Regrettably, these questions should have been asked in the debates, where they would have been heard by tens of millions, live, unfiltered and unedited by those some same news media lapdogs. But better late than never.)
-- With the announcement that you raised an additional $150 million in September alone, you're on pace to raise and spend something on the order of $650 million during the campaign. Together with your Big Labor allies and liberal 527s spending perhaps $350 million more on top of that on your behalf, we're looking at a staggering $1 billion. Furthermore, it has been reported you're out-advertising the McCain campaign 4-to-1 around the country. Aren't you essentially trying to buy the presidency? When was it put up for sale to the highest bidder?

Media is 0-porn. Bought. Paid for. Does ‘everything.’
The October surprise? Gas prices & the economy/bailout for RePO.
Nice job, guys.
Has your husband ever spent 500 bucks on one meal of lobster and caviar?
Less than 36 hours!!! The clock is ticking...one final push to save the U.S.A.!
The challenge:
Between NOW and election day, convince at least two Obama/Undecided voters to vote for McCain. (family, neighbors, friends, people waiting in the check-out line) Further, convince these two people (or two others) to take up the same challenge. (Like a chain letter)
So you have converted people in the past? Good, but we need more!
Many Obama supporters are mindlessly supporting him, with no real reason, this means it is VERY easy to get them to switch over. Even if you fail, other Obama/undecideds may be in the room and hear valid arguments and question their faith in the One.
Don’t kick yourself a week from now saying “I could’ve done more....”
Do your part...your country depends on it!
