More polls, more good news for Obama
A new set of battleground state polls show Democrat Barack Obama ahead in Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Republican John McCain is holding on in his home state of Arizona.
In the CNN/Opinion Research Corp. polls released this morning, Obama leads 52 percent to 45 percent among likely voters in Nevada, 52 to 46 percent in North Carolina, 51 percent to 47 percent in Ohio, and 55 percent to 43 percent in Pennsylvania.
In Arizona, McCain leads 53 percent to 46 percent.
The polls are the latest that show the potential for Obama making deep inroads into traditionally Republican states, setting himself up for a possible electoral landslide on Tuesday.
The surveys were conducted Oct. 23-28 and have margins of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points in Arizona, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and 4 percentage points in Nevada and North Carolina.
An NBC/Mason-Dixon poll put the race closer in Pennsylvania, with Obama leading 47 percent to 43 percent among likely voters. It was conducted Oct. 27-28 with a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

I agree, we must get out there and vote for Obama! We must look at the big picture, if either candidate gets elected and then the vp had to step up who would be the better replacement? Biden by far! !!!!!!!!
VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! It's important to get out there.
his half brother lives in a HUT in Kenya and his Aunt lives in public housing..instead of spreading his wealth (tack on michelle's $300,000 diversity coordinator job in Chicago) to fill his "loved" one's pockets, he will use our hard earned money.
get out and vote!!!!! lets send a message of unity, change and a new america. obama is the person along with us who can do that. roger
Bruce J,
I'm curious. If Diebold Effect is supposed to help the Republicans, why did the Democrats gain control of the Congress in the mid-term election in 2006? Oh wait, the Diebold Effect - because of the alignment of stars and planets - only works in a Leap Year. Right?
I see you all have not lost your fight :
GOOD! Because we have a lot to do. You! (the American people) are going to have to take back control of your elected government at every level, and set your government back on the right path of service to you, and the greater good of the World.
Barack Obama and the democrats are your best hope of doing that now. Tell your family, friends, and everyone you know to support them as best they can. Because the Bush McCain vote fraud, vote cheating, vote buying, vote manipulation machine is already hard at work to cheat you again. And we all know what a disaster that has been the past 8 years of Bush McCain.
Barack Obama and the democrats will need all the power you can give them at every level of government (Federal, State, County, and local City elected governments). Obama and the democrats will have an enormous mess to fix for the American people, and the rest of the World. A mess caused by the corrupt Bush McCain administration.
You see, starting back in 2000, and before 911, it was mostly the Republican governors, Republican legislatures, and county elected Republican officials that conspired with the corrupt Bush McCain administration to raise college, and university tuitions by the fastest, and highest rate increases in American history. Some state tuitions went up by as much as a WHOPPING! 30% in one year.
The reason the Bush McCain administration did this was to force struggling working class kids into the military to pay for the sudden jump in tuition. Which was forced on them by the corrupt Bush McCain administration, and their corrupt Republican Governors, and republican controlled state legislatures.
See, Bush McCain had plans to get us into all these immoral, foolish, criminal, and unnecessary wars from the start. So they could use these wars to seize power, and later to get reelected. But, for their evil plan to work they needed more volunteer soldiers struggling to pay for an education whose blood they could spill to help them seize more power. Remember Bush McCain's "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!" theatrics.
The exploitation, and lost lives of these finest Americans is despicable, disgusting, immoral, corrupt and criminal. And it makes me SICK, and ANGRY!
You will have to vote for Obama, and the democrats in overwhelming numbers to overcome the Bush McCain vote fraud machine. Vote early if you can. Then help your fellow Americans cast their votes now, and on through election day. Vote for Obama, and the democrats like your life, and the lives of your loved ones depends on it. Because it does. You will not survive 4 more years of "Let Them Eat Cake" Bush McCain, and their republican allies.
Just look at the mess we have now.
You can fix this mess with your votes for Obama, and the democrats. And REMEMBER, no matter which of us may stumble or fall, the rest of you must continue to surge forward for Barack Obama, and the democrats, and for your-selves most of all. The children, and the World are counting on us.
It's in your hands now. And I know you will get it done.
God bless all of you.
JACK SMITH - WORKING CLASS... :-)
Get out there and vote!!
Obama 08
Haha... My post was a joke. HBOMB is the winner. I was making fun of idiots like David Allen Greir from Chocolate News. (DAG... get it?)
Thank you No drone Nobama and Reality Dealer for you intelligent responses... I dont blame you for not realizing that I was joking because sadly there are plenty of people who actually believe that nonsense.... Like, the people who actually agreed with that rediculous post?
Thank you Canada! We're not all blind here in the US. Bush was a disaster and we NEVER want to repeat THAT again!
What everybody needs to be worried about is the Racial Rioting that is going to happen when McCain squeaks in a win by a hair. The whole country has been force fed Obama for two years. He has been promoted like a movie star and his fans are not going to be happy win he dosent win the Oscar
john (saudi arabia)..with all do respect john, but who the hell are you to say what is best for America?
how many terrorist attacks did we have during the clinton years? uss cole, wtc...etc
To Joe Blow (#17):
If your for abortion,homosexual marriage,socialism,and a weak military,vote for Obama.
Well, here's my scorecard according to your scoring:
Abortion: Yes, so is Obama, McCain is against it, but wouldn't do anything to overturn Roe v. Wade anyway, so it's basically the same, but slight edge to Obama because his position is closer to mine.
Homosexual Marriage: Yes, unfortunately neither candidate is for this though, so neither really fall in line with my view, Obama is for recognizing civil unions, McCain seems to be too, although he has expressed that he thinks it should be a state decision. Personally, I (a straight, married white man) think it is a civil rights issue to not discriminate based on orientation, so I give another slight edge to Obama.
Socialism: If a 3% increase in the top 2 income brackets is considered socialism, then sign me up for some of that Reagan/Clinton socialism please. Advantage Obama.
Weak military: I am 100% against a weak military, we need to be strong, and we need to use our resources wisely. Both men plan to keep the military strong, Obama's plans for how and where to use it make more sense (more in Afghanistan, less in Iraq). So count this one for Obama too.
Now, let's see if I look at all of the other issues that I care much about: energy policy, Obama... unions, McCain (you didn't see that coming did you? but i do dislike Obama's stance on unions, he will make them too strong imo)... foreign relations, Obama (talk more, go to war less)... education, Obama...
Well, I think I've made up my mind. Thanks for the questions!
Why would America REWARD complete Republican failure ?
We wont.
Yes EVERYONE, don't rely on your neighbor picking the next President. Get out and VOTE.
Quit cruising the net...
Get off your lazy butt and go vote!
From China - Please dont vote OBAMA - he will take the jobs away from China which we took from USA .. support the chinese.
The rest of the world is voting in conservative leaders because they are sick of seeing the liberals destroy their countries. We need to get rid of our liberal congress. Our liberal congress has an even lower approval rating than President Bush! Our economy was doing much better until the congress went democrat two years ago. I hate to imagine all branches of government democrat.
What surprises me most is the number of folks that do not look deeper into the right wing talking points. The McBush/Caribou Barbie campaign does not have a single suggestion to change the direction of this country.....the entire campaign has been attack, attack, attack.....I am still wondering about the real truth of McCain's POW experience......I do not trust his word.
VOTE as if your life depends upon it, because it does.
Canada and Saudi Arabia why don't you worry about your own countries eh? Why should we Americans choose our president based on what you think... That's just foolish.
Don't be overconfident that we got this in the bag!!!
We gotta work harder these last few days..
I'm volunteering the next couple of days up to Election Day.
"Yes, we can!!"
OBAMA/BIDEN '08
Watch fox on tuesday nite,It's going to be funny to see sean the liar crying!
I am tired of people talking about Iraq and what is best for our troops when they have no right to even comment. If you take the time and listen to what the men and women who are currently serving say about who their Commander in Chief should be, they choose McCain. That means something!
People who vote for Obama are doing so because they hate Bush...So incredibly ignorant.
I personally work very hard for my money and am not in favor of "sharing the wealth". If people want to be successful, get off your lazy butts and get a job and stop relying on other people to carry you.
just vote for OBAMA and then there will be blessing change in America.
VOTE EARLY... VOTE OFTEN !
For Obama/BIden
And welcome in a breathe of refreshing air!
Go find the Boston Phoenix from last week or the week before and read the profile of John McCain. The man is a fraud... His POW history is less that it seems, and he's built his progress on the shoulders of his father, grandfather, wife, father-in-law (sounds a lot like GWB in this respect). Yes, he's a maverick... Someone who will lurch from issue to issue, scattershot solutions, sending Pit Bull Palin to turn back 50 years of social progress. You want a Great Depression? McCain will be glad to give it to you.
There is a clear choice in this campaign and it is Obama. His leadership, policy and temperment are exactly what we need.
No matter what the polls say, go vote, vote early if you still can. No matter what happens, no matter how long the lines are, vote.
Our brave men and women in the military fought for us so we could vote. It is not just your right to vote it is your duty to vote, no matter who you vote for.
This is what people are saying:
Fox showed a clip of Clinton allegedly "complimenting" Obama for having called all of Clinton's economic advisers during the financial crisis. Clinton also "complimented" Obama for supposedly knowing nothing about the financial situation, but having the courage to admit he didn't know much and the courage to tell Clintonites he wanted to know more. This is problematic on a number of levels.
This tells us that Obama does not know anything, he had to call Bill Clinton for his advice. What if Bill Clinton won't give Obama his advice later. Halloween is coming!

# 41 - TANG - R u an idiot? Go back to China stupid illegal immigrant, what do you know? Shut the hell up! CHINESE? What a shame.
Joe the so-called plumber is an embarrassment to working men and women. My father was a plumber who learned his trade as a young teenager during the Great Depression. He was a hard-working family man, WWII vet, election day poll worker, and staunch Democrat. He saw first-hand throughout his life how the GOP represents the interest of the rich. I'm proud to carry on his deep love of country, respect for the privilege to vote, and understanding of who's looking out for the working class of America.
Don't give into the fear. All the republicans have left is fear and this time it isn't working for them. McCain tried to engage Obama on the issues but it got him nowhere in the polls, so he reverted to the same tactics that were used against him by Karl Rove in the 2000 primaries. Fear and character assassination. But this time the country is too tired of the BS. Obama will get his chance to govern. I hope he proves up to the challenges that face him.
A vote for Obama is the only sane choice in this election.
The repubgants wingnut idiology just makes it more clear. They lie about Obama character, they lie about who he is and what he means and they lie about everything it seems.
As a former Marine and an officer I would not like to serve as John McCain as my Commander-in-Chief (CnC) and if Sarah Palin would ever to become the CnC I would seriously consider leaving the military as fast as possible. The men and women in our military care deeply about who is our next CnC and Barrak Hussien Obama, I beleive would make an incredible Commander-n-Chief
So, No drone Nobama, "political historians and economists" say that Obama's policies will cause an economic depression? Enlighten us - name a few of these experts.
To 44. Simply because if the American economy goes down, our (Canadian) economy goes down with yours. Ex. The deregulating mess in your finance sector is putting you into a recession which is affecting us even though our well-regulated banks never went for the sup-prime drinking binge. Whatever we do, our economic destiny is linked with yours ! Since we believe Obama will do a better job putting your economy on the right track, just like FDR did, we hope you will elect him.
MyView49 says, "I hate to imagine all branches of government democrat." Don't worry, MyView - you only have to imagine it for six more days and then it will become a reality. Enjoy!
Why don' t the whole bunch of you losers just shut up and go vote for whichever candidate you prefer. JUST VOTE and keep your psychotic ramblings to yourself.
NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR PARANOIA, CONSPIRACY THEORIES, ETC.
Another quarter, another record setting profit for ExxonMobil. As an Exxon executive I implore to PLEASE VOTE FOR McCAIN!!!! "Drill baby drill" is music to my ears!!!! Don't vote Obama, he'll introduce alternative energy which will decrease the value of my gas. My middle eastern friends and I will have to live with just good sized profits rather than ridiculously large ones. You guys did us a favor by voting Bush in twice, you can do it again. FOUR MORE YEARS!!! FOUR MORE YEARS!!!
The only way to truly shake things up is to have one party at the helm. GO DEMS!
Obama - Not transparent at all.
McCain- Another Bush.
Which is the lesser of two evils?
To say if Obama wins, are military will be weak. False.
It would be one thing, if we where getting oil from Iraq, where not.
What is the benefit of being there? - We need to be conducting special operations, in rogue nations, not another Vietnam in Iraq.
Who Smarter in General? Obama or McCain- Enough said.
The outcomes of the most polls have been reflectively persistent with the measurement of the people' attitudes toward both presidential candidates how they stand for the issues and how their visions and proposed policies will be affecting their life particularly with the hope of the economic betterment, health care affordability, college affordability and enjoyment of good economic time again like under the President Clinton. He left surplus multibillions for the country when he had left an office of the presidency. When people look at today national debt that has risen from $5 trillion in 2001 to $ 10.5 trillion, something is so wrong.
Tired of very ignorant people too, Scott.... unless you earn a fortune, you will gain money from the Obama plan (see Business Week yesterday or check the tax calculator on the Obama site). Secondly: If you already earn 250,000 or more per year and you don't have a good accountant, then you are working for nothing, under any president. Your post is a typical right wing scare tactic and most know it by now.
I work very hard, too, self-employed for 28 years. I don't see many weekends off, I work all the time, 60-70 hour weeks. I have family, and happily my home office doubles as a playground, so I get to see them a lot.
My support is wholeheartedly for Obama, because that man has compassion and understanding. He is intelligent and judicious. Our country needs that, inside and out. No one talks about foreign policy, but a world at peace is a world of prosperity. And mcCain is a war-monger, as bad or worse than Bush. Because of Bush, with the support of McCain, 4200 families in this country are in pain. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have been killed, and we are responsible. Thousands in Afghanistan and Pakistan are also pining for their brother, sisters, their children. And McCain sings Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran?`Has that man learned nothing from his bombing of Vietnamese civilians?
As for Palin: I'd love to see a woman up there, but give me an Olympia Snowe, or, yes, Hillary Clinton. But not Palin. She was chosen as a trophy, and that is horribly demeaning, it was a despicable act on the part of McCain, and believe me, he knew what he was doing. I am not interested in having alleged "Mavericks" up there fooling around with lobbyists and the oil industry, pumping more money to the rich, the corporations, the oil industry (which earned record profits again! If McCain and Palin win, they will have all the money in the world).
Even if I had to pay more taxes under Obama, which is not the case, I would. Our infrastructure needs it, our schools need it, our families need it, we must remain competitive in this world, and we are being overtaken rapidly. We have to get off our rears and stop muttering that we are the greatest without the slightest evidence. China has produced three times the number of engineers than we have in the past year, in 2000 they hardly produced any. And McCain is muttering about "drilling"? We need to ride the power of the green revolution, not continue banking on yesterday's energy supplies.
That's Obama, he thinks globally, he thinks better, he has more sustainable plans. McCain missed the boat. His campaign has been a disgraceful puppet show that has demonstrated the violently ignorant underbelly of our society. What is with you rightwingers, are you ever satisfied? Is there anything you like in this world? Why all the envy, the lack of humor, the fear, the dramatics. Have you no confidence in our nation? Or do you actually hate its freedoms?
No Drone wrote, "Actually DAG, voting for Obama WILL cause another Great Depression. So say political historians and economists. ..."
Well, according to a survey by "The Economist", the most respected magazine of professional economists:
"Eighty per cent of respondents and no fewer than 71% of those who do not cleave to either main party say Mr Obama has a better grasp of economics. Even among Republicans Mr Obama has the edge: 46% versus 23% say Mr Obama has the better grasp of the subject. "
"Mr Obama scores better on nearly every issue: promoting fiscal discipline, energy policy, reducing the number of people without health insurance, controlling health-care costs, reforming financial regulation and boosting long-run economic growth. Twice as many economists think Mr McCain’s plan would be bad or very bad for long-run growth as Mr Obama’s. Given how much focus Mr McCain has put on his plan’s benefits for growth, this last is quite a repudiation."
I refuse to listen to anyone that voted for Bush in 2000 or especially in 2004. You made your mistake, now go away. Take our country back from the right wing radicals. Vote OBAMA.
DemocratforObama08, stop calling yourself an Independent... We both know that's just not true.
Everyone should stop acting like the mean evil top 10% are all living like kings while the rest of us are slaves or something. What America do you live in? Some people are rich... who cares? Last time I checked, the middle class doesn't have it that bad. They sure do like to complain though! Come to think about it, we take care of the poor pretty good too. This is America. Stop complianing. If you want to be wealthy, work hard and stop looking for handouts.
VOTE early if you can. VOTE on November 4 if that's your only option. VOTE no matter what. If you don't vote, then McCain/Palin will take what's left of this country and flush it down the toilet.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!
Wife just voted for Obama !!! Yay!!!
Listen up Dantheman . We speak our minds because you have the most powerful nation on earth and so far all your country is doing is terrorizing everyone else. We are part of the Global Community and we have a right to speak up about your election. I'm surprised that the US has not invaded Canada for our oil in Alberta - oops don't tell Bush !!!
I hope Obama wins and plunges is into a greater depression. It wont effect my business, and Ill be able to buy all your de-valued real-estate
Obama/Biden's private campaign is beating McCain/Palin's socialized campaign.
On Tuesday, many millions of youth , minorities, and disenfranchised will trudge to the polls and make Barack Obama our next president by a large margin. Nobody's buying into the republican BS fear tactics this time around. The financial collapse was the final nail in the neocon coffin. I hope Obama is up for the challenge as it will be a very difficult one - but his victory will let the world know that the american people are ready to take a new course. It will be a victory celebrated by our friends and our foes alike. It will signify some hope for a more peaceful future.
Socialism will be the next-stage in political systems. The whole world will be socialist in some years. Obama is not a socialist, but at least he is a right choice, he is social-democrat. By placing Obama in power, USA will begin its road toward a real democratic socialist participative system where US citizens wil be architects of their own destiny. And where the US government won't be the all mighty powerful GOD, but just a servant of the people. Socialism will finally democratize USA and will fulfill the goals of the US founding democratic fathers. So please help USA beging its trip toward socialism by voting for Obama and Biden. And by destroying the hegemony of the obsolete ideology of neocons (Capitalism)
DO NOT VOTE FOR A SOCIALIST!!! Please look into Obama's Ideology. Very
scary.
Boy oh boy....you republicans are running scared ...arn't you?
You had your eight years. Now step aside, we true blue americans, who know a lie from the truth, will be in charge for the next 8 years.
Go ahead, sit in a corner and pout.....
....Media Polls never dictate to me personally..........I vote with my convictions, and I will vote for the McCain-Palin ticket without any reservations as to what is best for the United States at home or abroad!!
After hearing the latest news there should be no doubt in anyone's mind that we need a President Brack Obama. Six governors are asking for some of the bail-out funds to help keep the auto-makers in their states from having to lay=off and or shut down and the reason they were given for not getting any help is because the Fed.Gov is assuming that these auto=makers will go under anyway so giving them any money in order to help keep them would be a waste of taxpayer's money. This is a clear example of what the economy would be like with John McCain in charge.
Hey Tang.........Listen up, pal......"One order : large chicken wings- -large Chicago chow mein- -large Egg Rolls and a large order of Lon Har Que"...........ittty-Wa----Hubba/Hubba------Chop/Chop!!!!
i don't trust the polls at all. I can't help feel that the Republicans are going to pull something....Excuse me, I have to get ready for my second job. Can't afford anothe 4 years of this.
Yeah, let's vote for McSame so we can stay in Iraq. To you folks who think Obama will put us in a depression, you don't really know that. Paying for the disgusting war that BUSH started, we're pretty much there already; if we stay there, we will be. McCain is an angry, despicable war monger with nothing to say to the public and will follow in Dub-ya's footsteps. And let's not forget, he has admitted he's not real with it on economics. Do you think he's going to help us? He wants to cut Medicare, continue the tax breaks for OIL COMPANIES and the RICH, do away with tax breaks for corporate america, which could result in them dropping health care coverage for their employees (do you want to pay for that?), tax health benefits. This guy is insane and has no idea what he's doing...did I forget his dumb-ass running mate whose on her own little power trip?
Yeah, Reality Dealer we'll face such terrible debt with social programs that actually HELP people educate themselves, allow themselves to get medical care without going bankrupt, keep a bit more money in their pocket, and create jobs. But, I guess you'd rather k our kids and grandkids over an unjust war, GW's $700 billion socialism bailout of financial industry CEOs and grossly mismanaged companies like General Motors, and selling our debt for $10 billion a month in Iraq to the Chinese. NOW that is money well spent!
and, by the way.... VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!!!!
Subject: FW: JOE BIDEN
I feel an obligation to honesty and truth to share with you some facts. My Father and Mother instilled in me the values and morals of treating people fairly and always being honest. If you purchase something, you pay for it. If you borrow something, you give it back.
I have been 'stiffed' three times in my 30 year professional career by someone who I rendered services to, gave a finished product to, but who refused to pay for those services even though they acknowledged the services and products were correct,
were what they asked for, and were never challenged for not being correct. I am lucky in having only three, but those three hurt badly.
Joe Biden was one of those people. I worked on his 1988 Presidential campaign financial disclosure engagement. I busted it for him and got everything right. He stiffed me for over $15,000 worth of work. He refused to pay once he dropped out of the
race. I did similar Capitol Hill campaign financial disclosure work for Bob Dole, Pat Buchanan, and a Democratic candidate for Ambassador to New Zealand. All of those folks paid even though they lost the election or did not get the appointment. That type of work is very demanding and very tedious because your efforts are scrutinized by Congress. Biden did not care.
I am on the Board of Directors of a company that owns a majority position in a private jet management company in Northern Virginia. They manage jets for businesses and rich folks. They also charter planes to the public. This past winter John Thompson chartered over $250,000 worth of air time. He paid every penny.
Joe Biden, in his latest unsuccessful run for President, chartered over $150,000 worth of air time. He PAID ZERO. He continues to refuse to pay stating his race is over and he is out of money. He never once complained about his flights. Joe Biden is a rich man. He could pay.
Joe Biden is a liar and a cheat. I know it first hand. Character is what life is all about. Joe Biden is a man of bad character and sets a bad example for America.
I feel compelled to share this dark side of a man who asks for your vote and trust.

Scary scary scary...that's all you can say about Obama? A 40% drop in stock prices in a year? That's not scary? Collapse in home prices? That's not scary?
Palin? She's not scary?
Obama is an island of tranquillity in a sea filled with these monsters.
Screw Obama and his buddies Franklin Raines & William Ayers
hmmm let's see.... what party was in power 1920 -29 leading us into the Great Depression after the "roaring 20s"? Republican? And who ran the country when the steel belt turned into the rust belt, Chrysler got bailed out, unemployment peaked at 15% Reagan. And the 4 years leading into the 1991 recession? George Bush 1. And now, greatest crisis since Great Depression? Republicans under GW. Does we not see a pattern here!!! The facts speak for themselves... though of course, we'll blame all that on the part y in power before the part y that was in power before theses crises right? Republican fiscal responsibility, trickledown theories, and being leaders of economic growth? MYTH!!!
Hey Moonfish, no one is trying to take away your right to speak up. I can't stand how liberals always try to insist that their rights are being violated. I never said you should be arrested for expressing your views... That is your right. But I also have the right to tell you that I don't care what your views are and that you annoying eh?
i didn't realize john Mccain had "un"suspended his campaign?? HE made such a big deal about suspending it, with the press conference and all, so he could go save the day, and would not return until "this crisis was solved." It hasn't been solved, so i assumed his campaign was still suspended. Did I miss something here other than the fact that that was all total BS grandstanding that blew up in his face, yet again?
I thought so...
VOTE!!!!
Wow... I just think it is time for Obama. McCaine though not GW is close enough. The Republicans controlled the House and Senate for half the term and they had good old GW in office for 8 YEARS! IF anyone wants to blame the Clintons... sheesh... In any case, if my team did what the republicans did over that long a time...I would expect to be fired (a long time ago) for the betterment of my company...in this case the US. As for who's tax policies hit who... in the end we only have $XYZ to pay for ABC. If we didn't have the debt double over a trillion dollars these decisions would not have to be made now. Everyone of us will pay and have been paying... how it is packaged is not a big concern..we need a plan that can try to get us out of it all.
yeah I love Mccain's socialized campaign!!!!!
Stop spreading lies about Obama being a socialist. Soooo lame and desperate.
The news has been great thus far! However, the only way we can actually impact our future is by helping Obama however we can, make some calls, enter some data, give your helping hand. Also, he wont win unless you VOTE! GO VOTE... VOTE... VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey No drone Nobama,
What History class did you take??? Intro at UMass Boston? Maybe if you had an actual education, you might be under the impression that Bush is the one leading us to the Great Depression like Hoover with massive, unaccountable government spending. Obama, however, is the one similar Roosevelt by increasing government-subsidized aid to those who need it, similar to the New Deal. You wacko conservatives think you know how to solve the world's problems but you never really spend any time thinking.
VOTE OBAMA!
The same people who gave us Bush/Cheney are now telling us to vote McCain/Palin. Same old same old, and it isn't going to work this time. The GOP has set this country back 40 years, and we can't afford any more of their trickle down economics and empty headed foreign policy. What a disaster.
We're bailing out Wall St., while Main St. gets screwed. Tax cuts for millionaires wasn't enough for these guys, now we have to pay for their greed and ignorance. Talk about socialism.
McCains campaign shows exactly why we can't afford four more years of the GOP. He doesn't have a clue.
Obama - SHOW ME YOUR COMPANY AND I WILL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE!
OBAMA -- SHOW ME YOUR COMPANY AND I WILL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE. I AM OPTIMISTIC HE WILL APPOINT REV. WRIGHT AND AYERS TO HIS CABINET. WHAT WERE HIS WORDS...OH I REMEMBER .... NOT GOD BLESS AMERICA - GOD DAMN AMERICA! THE GOOD THING IS HE WONT MAKE US PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE AMERICAN FLAG. LETS GET OBAMA OSAMA BIN LADEN AS TED KENNEDY PUT IT INTO THE WHITE HOUSE. I WOULD LOVE TO LIVE IN A SOCIAL COUNTRY. FINALLY HIS WIFE WILL BE PROUD OF AMERICA. WHO DOESNT LOVE DOMESTIC TERRORISTS! VOTE OBAMA EVERYONE!
Rev. Wright for VP
the globe is screening my comments. gee I bet you wouldnt I said I was voting obama
Darren, the tax policy you quote from the TaxPolicyCenter.org (which, by the way, is connected to the "liberal" Brookings Institute says this about proposed tax cuts:
Both John McCain and Barack Obama have proposed tax plans that would substantially increase the national debt over the next ten years, according to a newly updated analysis by the non-partisan Tax Policy Center. Compared to current law, TPC estimates the Obama plan would cut taxes by $2.9 trillion from 2009-2018. McCain would reduce taxes by nearly $4.2 trillion. Obama would give larger tax cuts to low- and moderate-income households and pay some of the cost by raising taxes on high-income taxpayers. In contrast, McCain would cut taxes across the board and give the biggest cuts to the highest-income households.

#92 I am annoying ??? (because I speak the truth). You - you are just plain stupid !!!
$15 Billion a month to fight a war... being in a foreign country where you (the US) have no right to be. No wonder your economy is on the brink of collapse - and some of you dumb asses are thinking of having another Republican President ....DUH ....
Oh...let's not forget Sarah - her ego is as big as the state of Alaska !!!
The general view up here is that she is nothing more than a High School Prom Queen. And so DIPPY - evidently McCain's brain is not in his head - wonder where it ws when he chose her ???
I might let her manage a restaurant or a small motel - certainly nothng more.
I came here from another country and believe me from what I have seen in other parts of the world this is the best place to make something of yourself. Obama will only reward the lazy and we will become the hell hole so many of us left.
Dantherman, Wrong Again.
I guess you are not in the middle class if you think the middle class does not have it so bad. Dantherman you, again, have no clue and only spew out GOP dogma. Your sound just like McCain's ex economic advisor, "Americans are a bunch of whiners" guess that make you just a GOP suck up. Your skin must be so thin cause you can't stand when people defend the truth,. Dantherman you are just a Tool.
If the GOP had actually had a point and not just attacks they maybe in this race.
I love reading some of these comics (oops meant comments). Good for a laugh.
Glad I don't live in Mass anymore. Sounds like everyone is very unhappy there. Is Mass still a state or is it its own Socialist country now?
I am not going to vote for someone who helped this economic crisis get started in the first place. Good old ACORN...Shame on them for forcing companies to lend money to people that can't afford it. Obama should be ashamed. I hope people understand that he is not the answer
I'm voting for Sen John McCain as soon as the polls open up!!
#98 -- why are you dissing U.Mass Boston? It's a great school!
As for Obama, he's the only sane choice. I mean, has anyone been watching McCain the past 2-3 weeks? He's totally lost it. You want his finger on the button? Are you nuts? obama is going to campaign in Arizona cuz he has a chance to humiliate McSame in his home state. Remember GHW Bush sailing into boston harbor to humiliate dukakis in '88? Payback is a b**ch aint it GOP?
Dear comrades, leftists, democrats and anti-Republicans: NOT TO WORRY, NOT TO WORRY AT ALL !!! My absolute Hegelianist philosophy tells me that the American masses are waking up, are evolving into accepting the socialism paradigm. The world indeed is heading toward socialist-democracy, toward Corporations being nationalized and under state-ownership control, toward the Universal Welfare State, and toward social-democracy paradigm. The free market, Reaganomics ideology of oligarchic control of the economy is over, it doesn't work, and it collapsed. Lenin was right when he said that Monopoly Capitalist Imperialism was the last stage of capitalism. The Republican Party will not rule USA again. The Republican Party is destroyed, demoralized and hated all over this country. Nobody loves Republicans anymore. All the people in this blogger who deffend Republicans, are just desperate workers of the Republican Party. But Mccain and Sarah Palin are done for !!
The problem is not lack of consciousness of the American masses, but the fact that the reformist elements in the leadership of both parties, do not have a clear socialist perspective. The only solution for USA is to expropriate the key levers of the economy (the banks, the land, the food distribution chain and the remaining industries) and put them under the democratic control of the workers and peasants within a Socialist plan of production. This and this alone can solve the urgent problems facing the United States of America today.
re: support the troops. 1. Being an American, I have free speech whether I
know anything or not. 2. Among troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan
Obama outraises McCain 6-1. Money talks, BS walks. the Disabled
American Veterans gives Obama a B, and McCain a D. And McCain wants
to continue the mistake in Iraq. And Marxism is a failed experiment, if
you didn't notice.
Mr. Socialist-Marxist makes me laugh. It was a very funny satire piece. Every line was funnier than the last! Government expropriating land, for crying out loud! I'm sure the peasants who own that land won't mind much! Funny stuff. I hope you post again, mister. You is one funny sumpm or nuther.
I am baffled at the assumption of a lack of intelligence by republican pundits and die hards who have been comparing Obama's tax plan to what Hoover did (and then subsequently telling people to take a history lesson.)
Hover raised the top income bracket's tax rate 38% from 25% to 63%. Obama is simply proposing rolling back the bush tax cuts, and taking them to the levels there were at under Clinton.
Now, under Clinton's tax levels there was positive job creation, under Bush there was negative. Obviously, correlation is not proof that said tax levels were responsible for the job creation levels under said presidents, but it surely shows that the claim that lowering the upper brackets' tax levels will create jobs and raising them will lose jobs holds little water.
The future prosperity of the country's economy is entirely based on the spending power of the middle class, not the tax rates for corporations. If the middle class has the money to make purchases and invest, corporations and small businesses will see revinue increase dramatically. This increased purchasing power will directly cause increased demand in all sectors, thereby creating a need for increased production, and more jobs. Add on to that the fact that increased revinue for Corporations means increased tax revinue for the US, we will see (combined with decreased spending) an ability to decrease or eliminate the deficit, and start paying down the debt, or maybe the billions of dollars for Iraq which has not been payed for yet.
Here is one for you dem how come in every high taxed state they are running in the red crying for federal help. FDR was so great with his new deal and second new deal, oh yea I forgot less than 4 years of great deals in 1937 unemployment went right back up and the recession started over again. The only that help FDR was the war dont get me wrong I liked some of his ideas. Carter raised taxes big goverment spending look how the economy went. Regan cut goverment spending buit up the military cut taxs we had some of the best years. all I can say is look at what happens almost every time you have big goverment spending and raise tax the economy takes a dump, and the next president gets blamed.
Pennsylvania! Is the McCain camp going to try to steal this election like Bush stole the last two? Is this why they are trying to say their internal polls are showing a closer race?
Enough already with accusing Obama of being a socialist. What do you call a $700 Billion dollar government bailout of private corporations, banks, and people that lived beyond their means in houses they couldn't afford? Bush took OUR money and gave it to them as a reward for all their greed and bad decisions,and McCain supported it. THAT is socialism. You can't agree with it when it suits you, and then disagree with it when you want to use it to drag your opponent through the mud. McCain can't have it both ways. Since he voted for the $700 billion bailout, he is just as much a socialist as Obama.
BTW, What's wrong with having intelligent people run the country for a change? The last thing we need is 4 more years of lying, covering-up, ignorant, "Joe Six-Pack" alcoholic moron mentality. Since when are brains, professionalism, dignity and statemanship a BAD thing? VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN!
One cowby about to leave the White House - God forbid that the other cowboy takes his place. All those billions of dollars per month being wasted on a war that yoy can't win and in a place you don't belong. Think if all that money had gone to medicare, education and housing - you'd still have money left for Homeland Security. What mismanagement of taxpayer's dollars. Don't vote for the clone - vote for Obama !!!
now let me think, share the wealth.what a horrible idea-let the poor and uneducated fight a war/ i mean an occupation/ there are more terrorist in compton,ca./ hockey mom as president / do you people know our military spending is 4 times greater than the next 14 highest spending countries, but we spend 1 % of our budget on welfare, boy all those hand outs/ how dare we give help to all those (losers ) gop term- yeah you bet we should be mad / ceo's make more money in intererst in one day ,than i will propably make in my lifetime- that;s right share the wealth/ obama doesnt have all the answers, but he has a connection i think better to the ordinary person than mc cain will ever have-
Too much to steal this year. The wave is crashing on the repubs and it would be impossible to steal the number of states McCain needs.
Obama is much more cerebral than McCain and I'd rather have a brilliant man with less experience than a dogmatic old man who graduated 2nd to last in his class at the Naval Academy. Palin is, as Cornell West said, "not dean's list material" In this uncertain time we don't need a tottering old man and his lipsticked pitbull.
vote,vote,vote, on november .4, so we can rid washington of the do-nothing gop for ever we need a new start from we have had for the last seven years and nine months .please say no.no,no,no to mccain/palin. our future depended on it.
