From a Sarah Palin speech today:
“There’s been a lot of interest in what I read lately. Well, I was reading my copy of today’s New York Times and I was really interested to read about Barack’s friends from Chicago. Turns out, one of his earliest supporters is a man who, according to The New York Times was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, ‘launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol.’ These are the same guys who think patriotism is paying higher taxes. This is not a man who sees America as you and I do – as the greatest force for good in the world. This is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who targeted their own country. This, ladies and gentlemen, has nothing to do with the kind of change anyone can believe in – not my kids and not your kids. The only man who can take on Washington is John McCain.”
Out-friggin-standing!

Sorry but this is a dead issue. It is fine for Palin to mention it over and over but not McCain. McCain has to hit Obama very hard on the housing mess….Also Obama’s disastrous housing projects in Illinois. The issue going forward is the economy..not Ayers, not Wright…maybe Rezko.
Get the Mccain surrogates out there….Mitt Romney for one. They have to be out there on television attacking Obama and the Democrats on this issue. It has to be a relentless assault. It is there for the taking, the McCain campaign has to take full advantage….never give up…relentlessness.
WOW! Way to go Sarah… keep it going! I hope she will be everywhere on all medias for the rest of the campaing. Since she creates excitement and curiosity, everybody will be listening to everything she says. Perfect!
And if this is not enough to turn the campaign around, well let’s take out the big artillery. Let’s Bush attack Iran… that should do the trick, every stupid coward leftists will be so scared, they will all vote for McCain, because they know that in time of war Obama will be a big ZERO.
Thanks God for Sarah Palin.
I have one question why is Senator Lieberman the former and recent candidate to the Vice Presi
dency of the Democratic Party NOT VOTING FOR OBAMA?
Obama can play down as much as he likes his associations with Ayers, Wright and the idiology of Saul Alinsky if all American would stop for a second and think for themselves they can reach their own conclusions, ….look around and see the situation that the countries of the world leaning to socialism are today, unemployment in Europe is much higher than in the US, the medical social plans are they working>? No they are not. Look at Canada, look at Sweeden etc.
Look at the people in Venezuela and the people in Cuba.
Gail you are so right. Here in Canada the Health free plan system is a complete fiasco. Emergencies are crowded all year long, they even refuses people. You have to wait up to a year before someone can get an operation. Just to see a doctor takes more than 6 months, you have time to die before you see one. Not so long ago, we had to send our cancer patients to the States so they would be treated. It is a complete failure. Rich people go out of the country to get treated.
This is why this year we want to give ourselves a majority Conservator Government with Stephen Harper on the 14 of October. He is for a combine public and private Health care system. He doesn’t believe in Kyoto either. He believes in Free Market and Milton Friedman theories. He lowered the taxes and the income taxes. He is great! Since 3 years is has governed as a minority government and was block most of the time by our others leftists party. But this time it looks like he will be getting a majority. He would work hand in hand with McCain. I sure hope he won’t have to cope with Obama communist mentality.
Curt: We’re working in parallel tracks today. Mata must be off somewhere or I would expect a similar post from her too.
It’s about time McCain pulled his head out of his a#* and started to FIGHT!
“Reading my copy of the New York Times”
Someone please tell Ms Couric.
It was nice that they were able to go through the Times’ covering for Obama and pick out the pieces that mattered.
‘Palling around with terrorists’ is a reasonable start, but I think the message (which I think could comfortably be reinforced with a little careful quoting from Obama’s books) is that Ayers and Dohrn exerted themselves on behalf of Mr Obama not because of friendship but because of ideological compatibility.
Terrorist mentor, furthest-left voting record in the Senate, flesh it out and start swinging with it.
Oh Sarah, there you go again, golly gee
Wanna talk about the Keating Five? You bet! Wanna talk about how many Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac lobbyists, let alone Bush-ies are working on McCain’s campaign? Darn-tootin!
Wanna talk about adultrey, about a candidate that leaves his comatose wife for power and money? Say it isn’t so! Wanna talk about First Dude’s and your own tax evasion? Bring it on! Wanna talk aout witchcraft? Yes Sir! Can you say troopergate? Uh-huh, Joe Sixpack! Wanna talk about a 100 year war in Iraq? Hootananee!! You wanna talk about all of this? BRING IT ON!!
Mugsy,
You are the reason why USA is in so deep trouble today. Stop taking your information from a popcorn box. You are in for a big October surprise my dear. I’m already laughing at you.
You say: “Golly gee… Darn-tootin!… Hootananee”
I will reply you: “Youpla boum, tagada tsoin tsoin”
Sarah is going to hit Obama so hard he will be begging for her to stop. But, she won’t and HE WILL LOSE!
All a bunch of left-wing canards that have nothing to do with reality — associations that are either from the long past, did not exist, or are the fantasy of left wing kooks like Mugsy.
Obama has direct connections to Ayers, a 20 year relationship with racist pastor J. Wright, and clear connections to convicts like Rezko. These don’t matter to kool-aid drinkers like Mugsy — why don’t you join the children’s choir and start singing “Obama our saviour.”
mugsy, do you get everything backwards? Seems all the Freddie and Fannie folks who destroyed the housing market are working with Hussien O. Guess they’re showing him how to steal more than the $3 + million he’s already stolen from funds he was supposed to help the poor with.
Now it’s coming out the $200 million or more of Hussien’s campaign booty arrived directly from the terrorist in the middle east. The FEC is looking at it but they’re too slow. If Hussein is elected he will be removed and put in prison within 6 months, if Islam doesn’t kill him as an Apostate first.
Here’s Hussein’s playmates who bribed him (over $500,000 for his senate votes”:
Franklin Raines was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae. Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when auditing discovered severe irregulaties in Fannie Mae’s accounting activities. At the time of his departure The Wall Street Journal noted, ” Raines, who long defended the company’s accounting despite mounting evidence that it wasn’t proper, issued a statement late Tuesday conceding that “mistakes were made” and saying he would assume r esponsibility as he had earlier promised. News reports indicate the company was under growing pressure from regulators to shake up its management in the wake of findings that the company’s books ran afoul of generally accepted accounting principles for four years.” Fannie Mae had to reduce its surplus by $9 billion.
Raines left with a “golden parachute valued at $240 Million in benefits. The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear. http://housingdoom.com/2006/12/18/fannie-charges/ . The Government noted, “The 101 charges reveal how the individuals improperly manipulated earnings to maximize their bonuses, while knowingly neglecting accounting systems and internal controls, misapplying over twenty accounting principles and misleading the regulator and the public. The Notice explains how they submitted six years of misleading and inaccurate accounting statements and inaccurate cap ital reports that enabled them to grow Fannie Mae in an unsafe and unsound manner.” These charges were made in 2006. The Court ordered Raines to return $50 Million Dollars he received in bonuses based on the miss-stated Fannie Mae profits.
Tim Howard – Was the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae. Howard “was a strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure a “stable pattern of earnings” at Fannie. In everyday English – he was cooking the books. The Government Investigation determined that, “Chief Financial Officer, Tim Howard, failed to provide adequate oversight to key control and reporting functions within Fannie Mae,”
On June 16, 2006, Rep. Richard Baker, R-La., asked the Justice Department to investigate his allegations that two former Fannie Mae executives lied to Congress in October 2004 when they denied manipulating the mortgage-finance giant’s income statement to achieve management pay bonuses. Investigations by federal regulators and the company’s board of directors since concluded that management did manipulate 1998 earnings to trigger bonuses. Raines and Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004.
Howard’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $20 Million!
Jim Johnson – A former executive at Lehman Brothers and who was later forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO. A look at the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight’s May 2006 report on mismanagement and corruption inside Fannie Mae, and you’ll see some interesting things about Johnson. Investigators found that Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson’s 1998 compensation from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million when it fact it was $21 million.” Johnson is currently under investigation for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie Mae.
Johnson’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 Million.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
FRANKLIN RAINES? Raines works for the Obama Campaign as Chief Economic Advisor
TIM HOWARD? Howard is also a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama
JIM JOHNSON? Johnson hired as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and was selected to run Obama’s Vice Presidential Search Committee
IF OBAMA PLANS ON CLEANING UP THE MESS – HIS ADVISORS HAVE THE EXPERTISE – THEY MADE THE MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE. Would you trust the men who tore Wall Street down to build the New Wall Street ?
This response is from Steve Diamond, one of two people that have been sifting through the CAC papers. Apparently, the papers show that Obama is a liar. Who knew?

Stanley Kurtz is the other person investigating, got at the papers through a FOA, but was initially hampered by another Obama crony, yet another domestic terrorist pal of Ayers, who attempted to prevent him from having access. He even almost fooled the library into releasing the papers to him.
Obama’s own camp sent the Obots out to disrupt a WGN radio program that invited Kurtz and someone from the Obama campaign to speak on air about Obama’s relationship with CAC, and Ayers. Even though Obama had the chance to send someone from his campaign, he didn’t instead unleashed the dogs to disrupt the program. What is it the thugs of Chicago are attempting to hide.

Obama and his dirty corrupted team are already stealing Ohio

Dave – please take that long-debunked nonsense elsewhere.
And as for Todd’s past participation in the AIP – if you lived in Alaska where the Federal government controls 95%+ of the land including the mineral rights, etc on it, you might think a little more local control was a good thing, too.
@Dave:
She was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, a group that wants Alaskans to vote on whether they wish to secede from the United States. She’s been registered as a Republican since May 1982.

This garbage was orchestrated and circulated by an Obama supporter, Charles Winner.

Dave,
Believing in long debunked nation socialist propaganda I see.
But Dave is just fine with Ayers, Soros, Wright, and a plethora of darker characters Obama is wed too…. But just as long as they are left-wing anti-Americans.
Craig,
I keep telling my Yankee friends how socialized medicine is such a fiasco. I’ve been to Canada numerous times and the stories I get from the locals is the same…..single-payer-healthcare SUCKS (with all of the horror stories)!!!! But a lot of people think that socialized healthcare would be devine, that it would “level the playing field”.
They think it would be “free” and that the poor would get the same kind of care as the rich, yadda, yadda, yadda. When the truth hits (rationing, long weight, added taxes) they’ll only complain even more.
We don’t have the money for this….period.
“We don’t have the money for this….period.” (Timothy)
We don’t either. Just in the province of Quebec (7 millions people), the Budget for the last fiscal year was:
Health: 44,3%
Other ministeries: 30,8%
Education: 24,9%
See graphics:
http://www.radio-canada.ca/nouvelles/budget/qc2007rev/sante.shtml
This year the budget will be at least 50% for the Health. Half of the budget goes on the Health care System. And it is still rotten… it gets worse every year. On top of that, we lose our doctors and nurses to other countries with a private system… it pays more. The operation rooms are close half of the time, Surgeons have quotas, because we lack staff medical employees.
Have your Yankee friends read my comments, they will change their minds. Just to give you a hint, my sister called yesterday for a rendez-vous for a dermatologist. The closest date they could give her was in 2009… the 3th of november 2009. She said: Thanks, but no thanks. She will be going down the boarders to see one next week… in your country in Plattsburgh. That’s how bad it is. So please don’t let Obama govern your country.
Timothy,
My answer to you is coming. It is just stuck in spam right now… keep watching, it will appear shortly.
This talk about health care reminds me of this, every time:

I always said, “there’s a reason why nations with universal health care are moving toward privatization.”
TALK IS CHEAP … CHECK OBAMA’S RECORD !!!
A candidate’s track record, and associations are always a legitimate issue when running for President. Let’s take a look at the qualifications, judgement, and experience of Obama, who is running for President. Obama had 25 years to fulfill the potential he displayed as a rising start at Harvard Law School … and, how did he live up to that potential? … He chose to align himself with anti-American racist, Jeremiah Wright for TWENTY YEARS … along with Ferrahkan, Rezko, Ayers, and others. As a community organizer, he registered thousands of voters in Chicago … then, when he ran for the state legislature, he took away their votes, by disqualifying his opponent (a black woman) on a technicality. As a U.S. Senator, he voted present 160 times … he never called a meeting on the Afghanistan committee he chaired (although he NOW says we must shift all our military from Iraq to Afghanistan). He claimed Foreign Policy experience from a 9 day whirlwind photo op to 6 countries. And, he spent almost half of his tenure neglecting his responsibilities as a U.S. Senator, so he could run for President. Senator McCain served America honorably for 22 years in the military. He proved his love for America, as well as his honor, integrity and character, by refusing early release as a P.O.W., even while being tortured. He served America as a ‘contributing’ U.S. Senator, working across the aisle, for 20 years. If Obama’s Twentyfive year track record shows he lacks judgement, and can’t be trusted, who cares what he says about Health Care and the Economy! What Obama never learned is Character. He simply can’t be trusted … ask Jeremiah Wright, a friend of 20 years, who Obama betrayed for personal ambition … and, you Obama supporters really think he won’t betray you If he gets elected??? If he gets elected, you Obama supporters will be facing a HUGE disillusionment !!!
