A good line, but not Obama's

Joe Biden is turning out to be a great mentor for Obama. He's teaching him everything he knows about plagerism!!

Way to go Joe!!!

I’m a white 60-year-old Republican Grandmother. My home is few miles from John McCain’s ranch in Northern Arizona.
And No - his ranch is not in Sedona, as the press likes to state, it is in Cornville. When I moved to Arizona I registered as a John McCain Republican. Unfortunately it was the OLD John McCain, before he became a clone of George Bush.
Today because of my fears for the economy. Bush’s war of revenge. And my fear of the control of the Radical Conservative Republican’s, lower taxes for the wealthy – the hell with the economy. I have been donating to Obama’s Campaign. Why? because I could afford to pay a little more in taxes I would rather pay a bit more now then leave the bill to my grand children, great grandchildren, great great great grandchildren.

Sure nice to have a remarkable teacher like Joe Biden, The Great Plagerist on the team!

That's MY saying Obama! Go think of your own stuff!

IS SARAH PAHIN A NEW ROCK STAR WITH POOR JUDGMENT?
What I see is a woman who used her poor judgment as a prop to win the sympathy of the American voters. Sarah Pahin uses poor judgment and the GOP makes her out to be a hero! The issue should not be about Sarah Pahin not having an abortion; the issue is that she did not have the good judgment to use birth control. Any intelligent person knows that when you choose to have unprotected sex at 43 you have a very high probability of having a child with Down Syndrome. The republicans are making her out to be a hero because she used the bad judgment not to prevent the pregnancy in the first place. I'm a mother of three, quite well educated, and moderately politically active. I am also a registered Arizona Republican. I do not have the experience, judgment and intelligence to have my finger on the nuclear button and I do not feel that Sarah Palin does either.

I too am a registered Rethuglikkka, er, Republican. And I too am disgusted at what those stupid, ignorant, malevolent, evil-hating Bushies have done in trampling on the Constitution. Where's my free health care? Where's compassionate conservatism? Where is the Europeann approval? How dare they think they can ban late term abortions? Thats it--I may be a registerd Conservative Republican who voted fr Reagan 3 times, but I am never voting for McSaim. I'm voting fo rBarack Obama because I believe in the future...which is coming.

Obama is a 'toon!

And so are the Boston area voters who post on this board. Sure glad your vote won't be worth much. Your state is so saturated with mindless drones that any objective opinion is shot down.

My vote will actually mean something in this election and make a difference! Yours will not.

McCain/ Palin '08 and '12 !!

Vera, well said!!! Bravo! And bless you for your honesty and, quite frankly, cutting through the BS. You've pretty much summed up this election. If this were the 2000 John MCain, I'd vote for him and his experience and his TRUE "maverick" beliefs and actions.

This isn't the 2000 John McCain, though. He's changed, most likely to move away from the center -- the very independence that gave him that "maverick" reputation to begin with -- and much more, obviously, to the far right in order to secure that "conservative base".

It's time to stop clinging to ideaology, and start using our brains.

Your blog alone debunks the myth of the liberal media supporting Obama and slandering McCain - all of your posts are either anti-Obama or pro-McCain! wow! From the boston globe? Is this for real?

Once again "THE ONE" Obama and his sidekick, GOFER Biden can't think for themselves and obviously the speech writers can't either. Obama has an excuse for everything and not responsible for nothing. His "CHANGE" is his mind and on major decisions "He will OBSERVE the situation". His new slogan should be "I AM THE BEGINNING OF THE END". In one of his books he even quotes his ever famous Rev.Wright.

Perhaps Mr. Obama should thouroughly review the record of John McCain. Upon review he will realize that McCain does not just go with the flow of the Republican administration. Then again I am sure he already has but thinks it is best to maintain the false hyperbole.

Bible in one hand, pork barel on othe other hand. The word of God from one side of the mouth, invectives from the other side.

Sarah Palin goves evangelicals like us a bad name. Go home and look after baby Trig - God gave him to you cause he knew you'd make time for him.

THERE'S a good one!!

A republical who sucks up and repeats the liar's parrot calls of "Tax and spend!" and "Privitization!" calling liberals who question authority mindless drones! And from the send Curious George back to Washington state of Ohio to boot! It's good to know that Curious George's second recession will cause alot more pain and misery in that flat backwater state than in Massachusetts, because we actually have jobs here.

The mindless ones are the ones who actually believe that McSame and Sarah Wailin' represent any kind of change! Just goes to show ya... The required traits for a republical voter are stupidity, greed, hypocracy, greed, dishonesty, greed... And more greed!

On I see the PAID Obama bloggers are out in full force. They always "claim" they were once a republican and are not discusted with McCain. Yeah right! That is why McCain is not AHEAD in the polls because of all your former Republicans switching sides. It is so laughable! The good news is the PAID Obama bloggers only get to VOTE one time! Also, I am not even sure that Obama will even be allowed to continue running as it seems he is NOT an American Citizen. www.obamacrimes.com Go McCain/Palin!

You on God's earth really is willing to trust a no neck, no am length, beedy little eye George bush wanta be. If McCain wins we are all in trouble. You republicans think if he wins everything will be cool cause he is for the rich. Well let me give you a dose of reality, if he wins the poor will get poorer and that means you all better look out cause then they will be robbing you, your house, stores and so on. They might even sleep on your door step.

Rich people think he will be good cause he is willing to give a tax break and he has already shown that he thinks if you make under a certain amount you are basically nobody. Well who is he to judge, he is nobody. Things will get so bad if he gets into office, I am afraid for our people.

Wake up. Anyone who thinks Obama will leave a less bitter economic legacy behind than McCain cannot seriously consider themselves to have been a Republican any time in the last 30 years. This whole cross-over voter routine is getting ridiculous.

I love McCain and Palin.

Let the newspapers, networks and actors/actresses schill for obama/biden.

McCain and Palin WILL WIN THE WHITE HOUSE.

Mark my words.

GO REPUB"S

Bless you Ohio independent voter.

I hate Bush. But, not for the reasons you would suspect. He should have closed the borders to illegals. He should have not swayed his actions based on liberal polls. He should have nuked Iraq and not put our soldiers in danger. He should have captured Bin L and dragged his body through NYC on the back of a caddy. He shouldn't of tried to get his friend into the supreme court. He has given the elephants a bad name. But, I cannot vote for a socialist with no experience. McCain is by far a better choice for a million reasons.... however, I'll have to hold my nose while I vote for him.

As a lifetime, card-carrying member of the Democratic Party and of the Atheist Human Fund, I have to go against the stream of this topic being taken over by Republicans.

I can't bring myself to vote for Obama and old-man Biden after their treatment of Senator Clinton. If only the true Senator were on the ticket, I could vote for Obama despite his misogynistic campaign. But not now.

I DOUBT THAT VERA IN COMMENT #2 REALLY COMES FROM ARIZONAAND READS THE GLOBE. I LIVE IN BOSTON AND NEED TO WEAR A BARF BAG WHEN I READ IT.

The party of small fiscal austerity, low budgets and lower taxes, has presided over the Bear, Stearn bail out, yesterday's Freddie, Fannie bail-out, which the new GOP rock star Sarah Palin confused on the campaign trail, and is still pursuing 'victory"
Iraq. Senator Mc.Cain gives a speech in St. Paul about foreign policy and forget about Afghanistan. Travelling abroad, he confuses Sunni and Shiite. Since this is a change, election, I can tell you this is not the kind of change I want. After eight years under the most dysfunctional administration in American history, I don't think mere "reform" is enough; after all, Senator McCain was in the Senate throughout the entire Bush Presidency. We need real change which will move the middle class forward. Today in Kissimi, Fl, Senator Hillary Clinton said," I have spent 35 years in the trenches to make the lives of middle class Americans better, with better healthcare, better schools, and a secure retirement. I believe in equal pay for equal work, for choice." For those who in Massachusetts who voted overwhelmingly for Senator Clinton, the choice is clear as she said today. "No McCain, No Palin." Vote Democratic.

Ban Birth Control! Vote Palin!

McCain/Palin 2008 - American Values First!

Why is everyone in the blogosphere so mean? Do you people act like this toward others in real life? I don't care which side people feel allegiance for, the tone of the dialogue on the internet undermines all serious consideration of issues and ideas.

Bottom-Line: Barack Hussein Obama is an empty-suit who can't speak unless he is fed lines. He is the creation of the radicals and liberals who want a Socialist State. He has surrounded himself with socialists all his life. That's a fact - not a talking point. McCain/Palin is not the perfect ticket, but my God, they love America and the Free market system and the U.S. Constitution. Any questions my fellow Americans? Country First.

What I see is a woman who used her poor judgment . . . Sarah Pahin uses poor judgment and the GOP makes her out to be a hero! The issue should not be about Sarah Pahin not having an abortion; the issue is that she did not have the good judgment to use birth control. Any intelligent person knows that when you choose to have unprotected sex at 43 you have a very high probability of having a child with Down Syndrome. The republicans are making her out to be a hero . . .she used the bad judgment not to prevent the pregnancy in the first place. . . .

THIS IS DISGUSTING. WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO CHALLENGE THE DECISION OF A 43 YEAR-OLD WOMAN TO HAVE A CHILD? YOU, MY FRIEND, SOUND FRIGHTENINGLY LIKE THE REPUBLICAN MORALISTS YOU DECRY.

T

"McCain/Palin is not the perfect ticket, but my God, they love America and the Free market system and the U.S. Constitution. Any questions my fellow Americans? Country First."

Wow. How's it feel in that Suburban Ivory Tower of yours? Mmmm, sounds pretty cozy out there. You sound like you have a lot to be protective of out there in your nice cozy Suburban Ivory Tower. Lemme guess: you make more than the magic $250K cutoff? I'd be scared too, if I were you...

Here's a quote for you Republitrons, those of you blinded by the Righteousness of Your God-Given Free Market Patriotism:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Dick Cheney? Ha, no. But good guess!

The lies are starting to unfold. I hope you have the strength to bear the truth and that you have a REAL BELIEF in this country when that little shell that you live in out in suburbia starts to crumble just a little bit.

Karl Rove "Country First" propaganda isn't going to get you there.

Too bad Obama is going to win, then you repuglists can go crawl back under your rocks. After destroying this country for the last 8 years WE ARE TAKING IT BACK MAKE NO MISTAKE. Polls come and polls go but when that Tuesday in November rolls around I am going to laugh so hard in every republicans face that thought McPalin had a chance lmao!!! I predict that Obama takes half the southern states and a lot of western states as well. It is not going to be close at all.

OBAMA 2008 - CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN AND COUNT ON!!!!!

Senator Obama gave Toles his due tonight on Keith Olberman. No story here.

I'll be voting for McCain in '08 because, despite everything, I think he really believes he can cut back government spending. As to '12, however, McCain is not likely to run again; I doubt I'll be voting if it's Pailin against Hillary Clinton.

You Repub zombies are funny....Palin read a speech off a teleprompter that weren't her own words--and you give her credit!! Every talking point that she hits aren't her words--and you give her credit!!! Everything that she has taken credit for in AK --has been proven to be--LIES or at best half-truths!! For the FIRST time, she speaks about an IMPORTANT issue (Fannie/ Freddie), she proves that she doesn't know ANYTHING about it!! Basically, she's said many good "lines"--BUT THEY'RE NOT HERS!! If Obama's an empty suit--she definitely IS. Is THIS who you want to be a 72 year old heartbeat away from the President??!!

I agree...no need for hateful words, lest you desire to be a part of the problem. Obama will win. He will win becasue he deserves to and we deserve an individual like him in the big house. P.S. I love the Obama bashing...just more attention focused and directed in his way...you cant stop the change is a comin'...Obama/Biden baby!

A few observations:

1) None of you can spell. It's no wonder that Americans in general lack the capacity for rational inquiry regarding what they hear on television.

2) Ohio Independent Voter: You say Massachusetts residents can't respect or heed "objective opinions." Opinions are never objective; they are, by definition, subjective. Ex: "Barack Obama is bad" is an opinion, you personally think this because your value system has processed the information you received about him and spit out this result at the back end.

Conversely, "Barack Obama will provide a tax cut for the vast majority of those making under $250,000 per year" is objective. It implicates no normative judgments. It can be proven.

I hope you find this rubric helpful in ironing out some of the apparent problems you have had confusing facts and opinions in the past.

Cheers.

I am not ready to vote a Muslim into the highest eleted office in the land. Michelle wears a Burqua to her "Hail Saul Alinsky Community Agitation' meetings. Moreover, I voted for FDR, Truman, Stevenson, Kennedy, LBJ, Happy Hubert, McCarthy (write in), Carter (the greatest President in the history of the world; the best foreign policy ever, and really had a handle on the economy) Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, and John Frenchy Kerry. I am a life long Democrat. My shits all come out shaped like Donkeys. But this year, I am voting Republican because I do not want my little bastards living under Sharia law.

SuburbanGOP: You're of course entitled to your opinions about whether Barack Obama is a socialist or not; I happen to think that's a straw man (I also think you know that it is) but that's not what this response is about. What I find particularly objectionable are your last two sentences: "Any questions my fellow Americans? Country First." (sic).

Implying (or flatly stating) that those who do not agree with you don't love America is the easiest, most cowardly response to any political argument. That's right: cowardly. Why wouldn't you rather defend your ideas, instead of impugning the motives or patriotism of those who disagree with you?

I sincerely love this country; we just happen to disagree on what is best for it. I want America to be strong and secure, but I think using American hard power around the world (Iraq, Iran?) makes us weaker and less secure. Based on your comment above, I suspect that you are not prepared to respond to that argument in a rational or civil way; you'd rather call me a pansy.

I really love this country, and I'd love it to be less burdened with crime and the social decay accompanying dysfunctional family situations. I believe poverty and a substandard education system lead to joblessness, desperation, crime, and dysfunctional family situations, in a giant vicious cycle. I think the state should try to step in and break that cycle if need be. Based on your above comment, I don't think you'd be willing to discuss whether you think that would work; you'd rather call me a commie.

The point of all this is that if people want respect for their positions, they need to explain why they're good, or better than another alternative. The name-calling only proves that you, and most likely your ideas, never made it past the elementary school playground.

If you as a Democrat are on the fence about voting for McCain, here are some thoughts to keep in mind:

1 . A NEW kind of Politics  — Voting for the Best Candidate regardless of Party (Joe Lieberman urged you to take a long and hard look at John McCain - during his speech earlier this evening).
2. McCain won’t raise taxes.
 3. Experience and Accomplishments Matter!!!
4.  Bpartisan record of working with Democrats.
5. In 35 years, no Republican President has threatened Roe vs. Wade. 
6. The President can only nominate judges, while a Democrat-controlled Congress will appoint them.
7. Energy Independence for the U.S.A. using all means available.
8. 100% open government and unfettered press access.
9. John McCain risked his political career to do what he has thought best for the country on several occasions. 
10. Never earmarked a single pork barrel project for Arizona.
11. Sarah Palin for Vice President!

Lastly, THE issue is about having a voice in the Dem. Party. This is about preempting the corruption and fraud that was perpetuated by the Dem. Party being ensconced in the White House. Furthermore, this is a PROTEST vote, BECAUSE the Dem. Party has forgotten or sold out its principles for the radical left and thus forgetting its classical liberal roots. To suggest the people are only voting because their nominee lost only shows how completely OBLIVIOUS YOU are of the ISSUES.

The myth that Palin is such a hardcore social conservative is simply a myth…. Here’s some quotes from her in debates…
———————————
In a recent survey you said that you would support abstinence-until-marriage education but that you would not support explicit sex-ed programs. What are explicit sex-ed programs, and does that include talking about condoms in school?
Palin’s answer:
No, I don’t think that it includes something that is relatively benign. Explicit means explicit. No, I am pro-contraception, and I think kids who may not hear about it at home should hear about it in other avenues. So I’m not anti-contraception. But yeah, abstinence is another alternative that should be discussed with kids. I don’t have a problem with that. That doesn’t scare me, so it’s something that I would support also.

that's it? your newspaper made a new page for this story that a politician took a line from a cartoon? "watch out ____!"

thank you. i just wasted my time reading this article. it's not even worthwhile...

Dear Tom Toles and Joe who,

McCain's first campaign theme was lifted from antidepressant advertising and his current campaign theme- Change- is lifted from the Obama campaign. Your McCain/Bush cabal has now "lifted" Obama's policies on ending the Iraq war. So who is the real "plagerist"?

jvsp.... "McCain won't raise taxes". How can someone as wealthy as you have the time to post nonsense like this on a blog. Oh, you must be in the top 1%, in which case he will lower YOUR taxes. Obama will only raise taxes on people making over $250k - or about 1% of the population. I am in the mid 60's and will receive a much larger tax cut from Obama than McCain.

McSame/Palin '08 - "Looking out for real estate investors and the super rich. Let the poor folk continue to be poor."

Oh no! Obama took quick action to correct an inadvertent mistake? Scandal!

I am not a fan of Sarah Palin, but what gives you the right to say that she made bad judgment in deciding not to use birth control thereby producing a Down's Syndrome son. Before passing judgment you should know that there are younger mothers under 40 who have had babies with Down's syndrome. Besides Sarah is a married woman whose husband is supportive. For your information, with love and proper care many individuals with Down's syndrome have grown up and had productive lives. You should also know that not all Democrats believe that Abortion is the answer to birth control. I applaud Palin because she chose to bring a disabled child into the world, and show him love. What's wrong with that? The more people like you continue bashing this woman for making a rational decision like this, the more people will start gravitating towards her, although they might not believe in all her positions.

Will the American people hire as the chief executive of their government someone with no executive experience. Management experience is a pre-requisite of all managment jobs in America that are not entry-level positions.

The Dems think so little of experience that they have given the American people a candidate for executive office who has never been an executive in his life.

Good God! So last night Obama goes on Olbermann and he references Toles before delivering the line, which absolutely kills the whole thing. Seriously, you're going to quote a cartoon? And what's worse, it's not like the sentiment Toles expressed was Aristotilian. It's something that ought to be flowing naturally from Obama. But here's his problem...the same Gore/Kerry affliction of all Democratic candidates--a constitutional inability to talk frickin' straight!@#$@#. It's maddening to watch it all happen again. Sarah Palin may be a liar. but she's a straight-talking liar, which is why she's got Obama by the short and curlies...and will soon have the country there as well.

Since the caption is just a twist on a something team McCain put out there, my friends and I were saying it a pool part last week (although we did chant USA! USA! how original was that?). We never saw the cartoon - honest. It's just a very obvious thing to say. Guess what - some people at that party also said Palin looks like Tina Fey or the Fair Godmother from Shrek - not because they are copycats, because these things are freaking obvious.

Now, if the cartoon had been clever and witty...

Stay tooned - some boonies cartoonist or blogger will be able to prove they wrote if first.

Toles cartoon is humorous because it reflects the truth. John McCain says he is for change, but he hasn't done anything the past eight years to prove he is a man of his convictions...he co-authors an immigration reform bill with Ted Kennedy, but when his ambitions get knocked around conservative polling numbers, he does a complete reversal and says he wouldn't vote for the legislation he wrote. McCain initially opposed the Bush tax cuts, but when conservative polling numbers indicated this would hinder his ambitions, he reversed himself and fell in line with President Bush. The "maverick" used to oppose offshore oil drilling, but then joined the Bush-Cheney "drill first" crowd when poll numbers went against him. Any notion of political courage and personal integrity is belied by fits and reversals.

Even on an issue of the deepest moral conviction, forged from McCain's personal, heroic experience, McCain backed down and compromised on torture. His moral equivocation makes it "a national disgrace" for the United States military, but its acceptable if done by our CIA. McCain has lost his spine. His ambition has succumbed to political expediency. Sarah Palin is just the latest example that McCain will risk our national security for poll numbers.

But, Palin is so cute and fiesty...not too intellectual...and anatomically correct...America has a new Idol. A regular Margaret Thatcher with great gams...and an AK-47. To paraphrase...she's Dick Cheney with lipstick.

America...what a country!

Tom Toles put out a cartoon for public to read, enjoy & recount to others as appropriate so they may enjoy too..... He should feel pleased that his work is considered good enough to be passed on to others...

Barack found this line very appropriate & used it in Keith's interview & he did credit Toles in the interview. He did not try to pass it off as his own...Maybe Scott needs a fresh pair of hearing aids so he can hear the interview & report correctly & truthfully...

Shame on you Scott for passing on lies & shame on all these people who (do not take time to check the interview for themselves & would) blindly jump into the well..

Obama wll win the presidental spot for the white house.

Hey, I want in too. I used to be a Democrat, and I'm a Republican.

Hey T Bounds, what a joke you are -- stop parading as a (hold on, let me look this up) haughty, supercilious intellectual.

YOU WROTE: Ex: "Barack Obama is bad" is an opinion, you personally think this because your value system has processed the information you received about him and spit out this result at the back end.

Ok, let's begin with "Ex". Actually, the correct term is E.G. exemplia gratia, the Latin for "exemplia gratia" for example. Nice work, retard. Umm, I digress. "You personally", as anybody who knows anything about the written language can attest, is redundant. Finally, you really need to get your tenses straight: you need to insert a HAS before spit, and the sentence, as constructed, is really a meaningless run-on. Don't drink and type!

America doesn't need an ideologue right now (Bush or Obama). Realpolitik lives -- John McCain 2008.

To T. Bounds. You say, "Conversely, 'Barack Obama will provide a tax cut for the vast majority of those making under $250,000 per year' is objective. It implicates no normative judgments. It can be proven."

Well, it can't be proven until after the election and then only if Obama wins. It WOULD BE objective to say, "Barack Obama SAYS that he will provide a tax cut for the vast majority of those making under $250,000 per year."

You mean he "Bidened" it again???

Vote for McCain and see what you get. Most people vote the way their parents, best friends, or co-workers vote. This is very very sad. Find out for yourself what the true issues are. Explore beyond the rhetoric. Make it a point to find out exactly what these candidates stand for, how it affects you and your family, and the well-being of this country as a whole. We, the People vote and elect our nation's president. Many of you are looking at skin color or whether the candidate is male or female. How infantile and asinine. Let's get with it people. A lot of brainwashing has taken place by the uber-conservatives, particularly among our most ignorant Americans who think that having all the money in the world with a shot gun in their hand is normal and acceptable convivial fare when they don't even make enough money to reap the benefits of the tax cuts. Not for YOU, but for the wealthy. Let's face it, the economy is in turmoil. Foreclosures are more popular than Starbucks. Businesses, companies, banks are folding under or borrowing money from Asian or Middle Eastern nations. People are losing their jobs. McCain is talking about change? Is he a true maverick for change? 9/11 is not connected to the Iraq War which Bush said himself is not winnable. How do you win an occupation? How? Have you actually conceptualized what our troops and Iraqui civilians experience on a day to day basis? Have you been there??? Where is Osama Bin Laden? Come on, wake up and smell the Starbucks or the foreclosures for the matter! Stick to the issues, Sarah Palin is in no way, shape, or form an acceptable replacement for Hilary Clinton. She tells tall tales with the same repeated talking points. She is not even running for president. She is an excellent telePrompTer reader.

SARAH...SHE WILL... SHE CAN...WATCH HER GROW ON YOU....GIVE HER A CHANCE. WE HAVE OBAMAOBAMAOBAMA SHOVED DOWN OUR THROATS 24/7...24/7 I'M PAST SICK OF MR. COOLJOCK HE IS NOT EVEN FROM OUR COUNTY! CHECK IT OUT ...ASK HIM TO SHOW THE GOODS/PAPERS AND THEY SAY HE'S FOR THE USA....JUST ASK HIM! NOT BORN IN THE USA....JOKER....
