Mccain has brought proof of change in the pick of Sara Palin as Vice President.

He is just old. He forgot what he stood for so, he had to steal something off of Obama.
And all those adds about Obama’s celebrity status should be displayed again with
McCain and Failin!

Do we really want Joe Lieberman as Secretary of State?

McCain is the original “change” candidate.
He has been fighting in the Senate for reform for years.
I guess now Obama is the “Surge” candidate?
What the????

McCain and Obama are not stealing each others message. Their messages are really similar with each one having a different approach to destroying the U.S. as we know it.

One wants big government and a socialist component. A gradle to grave mentality.

The other wants to give up our nations sovereignty by giving 30+ million illegals amnesty. In doing so he would forever change the face of our nations.
(don’t believe that 12 million number they have been throwing around. They have been using that number for years and the influx has continued mostly unabated)

If McCain and Obama are the best this country has to offer for the highest job in the land we, the American people are in very deep trouble.

Niether candidate has us, the “taxpayer” nor our “country’s best interest in mind”. Niether will get my vote this election. I will be writing in Mitt Romney, a real Republican.

I will be awaiting the next election and Romney’s return to bring sanity back to the Republican party.

Crash McSame is a reckless oportunist. Of course he is stealing Obama’s message. He is also a liar. He will not bring any change to Wahington. He just wants to be president. McCain the “Maverick” is copying. Followers cannot lead

“Come on! I mean, words mean something,” Obama says.

He better hope words mean something, he’s been depending on nothing but words his entire campaign. Record? No. Leadership? No. Give us a break Nobama! Sarah Palin would make a better president than you. You’re not even on the same playing field as McCain.

That is funny: Obama complaining about words meaning something. When Obama talks, you know it is meaningless nonsense.

I would mcuh rather have McCain’s 90 % with Bush voting record, than Obama’s 95% voting record with Dingy Harry Reid and Nancy Piglosi. The democratic pundits continually try and besmirch President Bush’s record but in reality he has done a lot of good things for this country. There are many things that are beyond the control of the President and the fact that he doesn’t want to fund every hand-out program that comes down the Beltway is a good thing. I am not rich by any stretch of the imagination but what I have I got by working for it. It is time that people learned that government isn’t responsible for all the woes of the country.

I’d expect nothing less from all of these politicians It’s comforting to know that everyone thinks status quo is not the way to go.

Well, it’s like how Pizza Hut introduced those nasty pastas and now Domino’s is also putting out pasta. So now you have two nasty pastas, except that one comes with a Vice Pasta with trogloditic views–er, sauce that people are falling in love with for some strange reason.

In all honesty, I think McCain did steak Obama’s message. Will it work? I’m not sure. Ms. Clinton tried the same but didn’t work for her, although one may argue that it did, since from the moment she went for her change message, she basically started winning all remaining races.

I think this is going to turn off independents, or at least I believe it should. It just doesn’t seem like the Republicans (which prove very creative in their TV attacks to Obama) can come up with a message that sticks with the electorate and stick to it. If they go on Country First, like they do, well, I need them to define what it means, as much I want Obama to define what change means.

Obama is THE change candiate. The sooner American voters (exspecially undecided..how can one be undecided at this point?? Oxymoron!)realize this, the liklihood they will be made better off.

Obama might not be the answer, but he is the only hope of an answer we have. Go with hope and change.

I thought I was the only one that noticed. The RNC was filled with plagiarism of Obama’s message. “Change”, “Change”, and more “Change”. And one Republican speaker said “It’s not that Obama doesn’t care — it’s that he doesn’t get it.” An obvious rip of Obama saying that it isn’t that McCain doesn’t care, but that he doesn’t get it.

He can try, but it isn’t gonna work, the American people aren’t stupid . Here it is going into the 4th qtr of the game and now McSame realizes that CHANGE is what we want & so desperately needs. He’s a little too late and slow in the GAME to be trying now to adopt CHANGE. So his picking of someone(Palin) far from washington yet who views are so typical of washington, isn’t going to automatically make him a change agent. He thinks he’s got his “Female Obama”, close but no CIGARS. The Republican VP pick is nothing but McCain’s way of trying to DUPLICATE Obama’s energy, message and personality style.

Obama/Biden (Real Change)

Certainly Mc Cain wants to grab onto what he thinks will get him elected. If he was still the maverick he used to be he never would have been nominated.

Well, McCain’s really trying to, but it’s patently ridiculous. The only change McCain has on his record is the change from a relatively independent thinker as Senator McCain into a Rove/Cheney/Bush clone as Candidate McCain.

No. It’s dumb to even suggest it.

They not install stole the “Change” message but yesterday they also used “More of the Same”, referring to Obama’s platform. I just wonder why the Republicans can’t come up with better ideas.

PS: Also wondering why is McCain running for president. After listening to his speech, I wish her were the Senate majority leader instead. He’ll be much more effective there than it the White House.

Of course, Senator McCain is going to grab onto anything he thinks will help him win. He is not an agent of change. If he were still the maverick he used to be, he never would have been nominated by the GOP.

I am a life-long Democrat and a “liberal libertarian”. (No, they are not mutually exclusive - just difficult.) I will be honest about something: if John McCain had won the Republican nomination in 2000, I would have had to actually think about my choice for the first time since reaching voting age: Al Gore (Mr. Green) vs. John McCain (Mr. Maverick). I was actually looking forward to that choice. However, McCain was beaten by the Rove Machine, and we got eight years of Bush. (Needless to say, I am not a fan of Bush or Rove.)

When McCain announced that he was running in 2008, I got excited again. I like the libertarian aspect of his politics, and was looking forward to contrasting it with the statist attitudes of the Democratic candidate. I was concerned, however, because McCain has been behaving like a Good Republican Boy for the past eight years, and my (since confirmed) suspicions were that he was being well-behaved so that the Rove Machine would be on HIS side this time. In other words, he violated his most basic principles to have a crack at the Presidency. In short, he sold out.

To use the perjorative of the last election, John McCain is a flip-flopper. Not just a mild-mannered “I thought about it and changed my mind” flip-flopper, but a slimey politician “do whatever it takes to get my way” flip-flopper. He is clearly more concerned with becoming President than he is with sticking to his principles. He has shattered my confidence in his ability to do anything he says he will do.

John McCain has lost my vote. I will vote for Barack Obama.

Is McCain Stealing Obama’s Message?

ONLY FOX NEWS CAN ASK DUMB QUESTION LIKE THIS ONE.

Answer: Who cares if John McCain is stealing the nessage, he can steal as many he wants, but he would like to also steal ideas and inetntions of message. Well, he can’t have those, and I am sure that he wouldn’t even take them, because it exposes him and his cronies.

Change is not Obama’s exclusive property even though he thinks everything is about HIM.
McCain has retaken the change mantel because of his bold selection for VP and his effective
speech that framed what “Country First” actually means.

Isn’t it called ‘re-inventing’ oneself? See what your opponent is doing that works, then use it yourself, like it was your own invention? Brilliant! Sneaky, but brilliant. A

And with a gun-toting soccer-mom beauty-queen at your side, it might work because…aw, geez…because a large segment of the voting public are so easily bamboozled by ’smoke & mirrors.’ Reminds me of the movie ‘Chicago’…razzle-dazzle them!

Yes John McCain is trying to steal Obama s message of change. He and all the Republicans will steal , lie, cheat, deny, as they have for years. No way can they run on their miserable record.
Sad to say some people believe those lies. And I am so tired of hearing of the 5 years as a POW from that old man who has a mental problem that will explode after he stops treatment and the medications they give him to control his temper. He is dangerous. That old woman from Alaska has not given an interview to reporters???? They will not let her until she is programmed to say the right thing. How sad this great country has fallen to after the past 8 years.
God help my Grandchildren.

He has to steal Obama’s message because he doesn’t have one of his own. I want to know exactly what he is going to do for this country beside make the oil people richer?

Jon McCain Has been fighting for change for years. He has tried to get change through such as campaign reform. Obama said he was for for it and now that he is raising tons of money he is against it. His own party has wondered if he isn’t too Liberal for the job. He has co-sponsered more bills with Democrats in one year than Obama has in his career. That’s right I forgot that Obama has yet to auther one peice of legislation. He’s too afraid to offend either side during his election cycle! I forgot the Democrats have been in charge of Congress for the last 4 years and they have gotten the least done of any Congress. I think both sides need to come together and find the middle ground on issues and write legislation that every will be ok with. They don’t because they wont have anything to separate themselves from the other party with during election cycles.
Obama has waffled on so many issues I can’t count them all. Anyone that claims John McCain is anything like Bush on issues, doesn’t know much about the man.

MCCAIN HAS DONE BRILLIANTLY, AND HAS PAYLIN THE CHANGE CANDIDATE.
WHEN OBAMA WAS 11 YEARS OLD BIDEN ENTERRED CONGRESS “OLD NEWS”, BUT THE GOV. OF ALASKA IS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR AND
EVEN THOUGH I AM A HILARY PERSON I’LL VOTE FOR MCCAIN, BECAUSE HE IS A MAVERICK AND A DOO’ER, AND PUT A WOMEN ON HIS TICKET AND SHE IS A WIN,WIN,WIN, AND FRESH AIR
NORMAN DEM OF HILARY

Duh, and it’s a complete fabrication. How can you now run your platform on change when you’ve voted with GW 90% of the time? The policy platform McCain is running is almost identical to Bush’s failed policies of the last 8 years. How can you be a Maverick when you’re no different than Bush? Eight years ago McCain was a Maverick, he did what he wanted to do, and was a different kind of politician. Unfortunately, he has flip-flopped more than any over the last few years on stances relating to Torture, Special Interests, Campaign Finance Laws, Jerry Falwell, Iraq, Abortion, Bush’s Tax Cuts for the wealthy, Ethanol, Gay Marriage, Confederate Flag, Gun Control, Housing Relief, The Estate Tax, Wiretaps, Immigration Reform, Offshore Drilling, Guantanamo, and Minimum Wage.

McCain can only run on a platform of lies and misinterpretations of Obama’s policies. And that is because he has no platform to run on given the last 8 years of failed George Bush policies. You’ll notice he didn’t mention the economy in his speech the other day, kind of important to the American people nowadays, don’t you think?

Of course, what else can you do when you have nothing to say. Copy-cat the opponent. Not much of a maverick, just a copy-cat, I did that in 3rd grade.

Report this Fox/McCain news

Of course the GOP is stealing Obamas platform because people are listeneing to Obama and ignoring McSame - even his nickname McSame is the into-change name. In the end neither candidate is going to change anything that matters, there will be continued war, continude trumpeting of the war on terror, continued incarceration of potheads, continued expansion of executive power and continued eroding of our civil rights.

Change something important, repeal the Patriot Act, repeal the 16th amendment, eliminate the IRS, join the Revolution!

Did you guys at Fox mess up Obama’s syntax on purpose?

McCain did not “steal” Obama’s slogan of “Change” It was Obama and his campaign managers who stole it from the man who ran with that spirit in the year 2000: John McCain.
Barack Obama has gradually “stolen” many pieces of nearly every one of his opponents during the past year. He assimilated parts of all his vanquished opponents, much like the Borg in Star Trek!

If McCain is stealing Obama’s message, then Obama stole it from a good number of other candidates for president.

Soon he’ll be talking about “Hope”………McCain is trying to drown out Obama’s message by saying he is the vessell of change and Obama is a typical politician….

Mccain should have used “reform” at least he could have said it was original……

Obama is worried that people are now turning away from him..he can see his votes being taken away from him. Voters doesn’t seem to believe him anymore.

Wow fox!! You almost admitted that Obama Has actually given a detailed plan of the change he will bring.(”before ticking off his own definition of change on the issues”) If you guy’s were truly “fair and balanced” you would tell the public what those plans are and stop saying he does not have any solutions.You may not agree with his health care plan or his increased taxation of people making 250,000 and more, or his increased tax on businesses that go overseas, but don’t say he has no plan. The thing he does not do is bring fear based politicking to the show. The republicans are doing the same thing they did in the last elections which is lie lie lie. All the republicans can do now is steal Obama’s message of change because that is all they have.
It is strange how we have put ourselves into massive debt and nobody wants to pay for it. God forbid we have socialized medicine so we are all taken care of. We have been doing the same things for the last 30 to 50 years and we keep going further and further down the list on education,health care,employment,and quality of life but people still think we should vote for someone who has been in Washington for the last 20 plus years to get the change we need?
stealing Obama’s message of change is all they have.

Every presidential campaign is about “change” … this isn’t anything that Mr. Obama has invented!The difference between the candidates is Obama wants to smooth things on the surface and McCain can’t wait for the opportunity to start shaking things up and rewire a broken system. What Obama really represents is MORE of the same. He’s running on the same issues of education, healthcare, increase this, decrease that … that have been part of every election. For the first time I believe McCain and Palin have not only the desire, but the chutzpa to get at the root of some of Washingtons biggest problems … not all, but he is a trend setter. Obama claims he wants to heal the rift and bring everyone together and has the Speaker of the House on stage telling the DNC how proud she is of all they’ve done. Nancy Pelosi is part of the problem. Every senator and congressman is part of what is wrong in Washington. McCain told his own party to their face and on national tv that they had failed; he also included an Independant/Democrat speaker at the Republican convention. And the next morning the Democrats were enraged saying Lieberman risks being removed from committees he chaired because of his actions — he didn’t insult Obama. For the record, the security of this nation is an issue. For the record, being President requires more than being ‘present’. I’d be curious to know what those 130 votes were on that Obama couldn’t decide between Yes or No. This election was recharged in the past two weeks … and all I hear from the Obama camp is “more of the same”, “more of the same” — they deflect or become defensively reationary … but let me tell you CHANGE REQUIRES ONE TO BE PROACTIVE. And I’m sorry if I don’t sound ‘respectful’ … trust me I do care about this country.

There is no doubt who is the copy cat here to pick up on a few points in the race, nor is there any doubt who is more gifted to bring peace and the idea of hope to the world than any new face. I think it is time for Mr. Obama to come out and declare what he intends to do with Ms. Clinton, or his race to the White House is getting boring. If he declares her as his Secretary of State to be, then she can do a much better job than as if he would have picked her as his VP just to wait for something nasty to happen to him in order to get into the presidency. I think both would make an excellent team with all the markings to become a beacon to this world. Hans Zeunert

Really? Does anyoine remember the 2000 primary when John McCain was almost excommunicated from the Republican party for promoting change in the way Washington conducted business? John McCain has been about change and reform from the very day he entered politics. That is an undisputable fact!

[...] themselves as the true change, Washington outsider ticket during the last 8 days–leading to criticism from Obama today who accused Palin and McCain of being disingenuous in their call for [...]

[...] themselves as the true change, Washington outsider ticket during the last 8 days–leading to criticism from Obama today who accused Palin and McCain of being disingenuous in their call for [...]

When McCain said “change is coming,” he must have been talking about Senator Obama! McCain may be a rebel and a rancous rabblerouser but he has never been a maverick in the sense implied. He had over 20 years to make changes in Washington and failed to do so. His wife and family never saw fit to move to D.C., so he just kept partying with the lobbyists.

So much for Obama being the agent for change. He doesn’t have a platform of his own to stand on so his only option is to continually pair Bush with McCain in the hope that some of the unpopularity experienced by Bush rubs off on McCain. Sort of like a “guilt by association” stance. I wonder….Bill and Obama are both Democrats. I guess that makes Obama just as guilty for Monica as Bill is.

Bush speech writers and Carl Rove strategists are pulling the strings now. McCain / Palin are deceptively running with the ‘change’ platform, highjacking Obama’s message of change and moving Bush’s third term campaign to the far right of the Republican party. It appears McCains experience platform seems to have shrunken. That’s not leadership, that’s pandering. As well, I hear that the Bush / Mcain / Palin campaign are stealing democratic campaign property (flags) in an attempt to smear their opponent. Politics as usual among the republican party.

No. Actually Obama’s change is just words and Biden the 35 year same old politics. no change there.

McCain’s change is by deeds and Palin is a perfect example of the reforms.

Of course Maverick McCain and Pitbull Palin are stealing Obama’s campaign messages because they have no messages to really this country’s ills. McCain and company are totally pathetic. They offer nothing but lies and deceit and smears. If they think these tactics will win the White House, then they have bumped their heads.

Obama want to change but he dose’nt know how to change because his message did not clear
McCain is very clear. i trust the one have clear message beter then those who not even know
him self talking abuot.

No McCain did not stealing Obama message

THE REALITY IS, THAT McCAIN’S MAVERICK INDEPENDANT MINDED WAYS THAT ACTUALLY BENEFITTED THE LEFT & DEM’S IS NOT APPEALING TO THE REPUBLICAN BASE. PALIN IS THE BASE. THAT’S WHY YOU SEE CROWDS TURNING OUT OF 20,OOO TO 30,000 PEOPLE ALL WEEK. SHE’S THE 800lb ELEPHANT ON STAGE!!!

THE DEM’S ARE NOW SCARED, THE MEDIA IS UPSET THAT THE 32 INCH WHEELS BE COMMIN OFF BARACK’S ESCALADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If John McCain is going to be 4 more years of Bush,Obama is going to be 4 more years of Carter.Scary!

Pathetic McCain…pathetic……..
no substance to McCain…lots of air…he is the kind of guy that will say whatever it takes to get in and then will do what is dictated by the conservative forces he serves. pathetic…
and sarah you are sub-pathetic..don’t forget to put on your lipstick.

THE REALITY IS, THAT McCAIN’S MAVERICK INDEPENDANT MINDED WAYS THAT ACTUALLY BENEFITTED THE LEFT & DEM’S IS NOT APPEALING TO THE REPUBLICAN BASE. PALIN IS THE BASE. THAT’S WHY YOU SEE CROWDS TURNING OUT OF 20,OOO TO 30,000 PEOPLE ALL WEEK. SHE’S THE 800lb ELEPHANT ON STAGE!!!

It’s quite pathetic, really. McCain’s ads making snide comments about Obama’s popularity, were nothing more than temper-tantrums from a has-been who missed the old days when the spotlights were on him.
Once he got over it though, he simply hopped onto the Obama train through osmosis: he hired a charismatic and accomplished speaker who became—dare I say it?—a CELEBRITY within days. McCain can now rest until November, while the two celebrities duke it out.
The only “change” in the McCain-Palin ticket is that the new VP would be better looking and evidently also a much better shot than Cheney.

John McCain can claim to be the change canddate, but he risks coming across as a typical politician willing to say what he thinks he needs to say to get elected. He has voted with president Bush 90 % of the time. That says to me he will be more of the same.
He has gone to the same group as president Bush did to get his foreign policy advisors. The Project for the New American Century gave the Bush administration Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Scooter Libby, Paul Wolfowitz, and others. In other words, the very people who planned the Iraq war and managed it badly for the first few years. John McCain has chosen as his foreign policy coordinator the former head of that group, Randy Schuenemann, and has at least 9 former members among his team of advisors. “Change” is a nice slogan for John McCain, but it is a lie.

Senator McCain and Governor Sarah Palin ARE change. The change that has eluded Obama when he chose an old insider, Joe Biden to make up for the experience he himself lacked. THAT is not change. It resonates well with the voter to fix the government and govern in a way that those elected to serve can do the nation’s business. With the approval rating of Congress in the toilet, this does matter to voters. The current approval rating of Congress is LOWER than that of President Bush, IF that is possible. When you propose change, like the economic programs of Obama, you have to look at how that change will affect most taxpayers and it is a disaster waiting to happen. Obama, with a cut and run mindset, is not a good candidate to be Commander-in-Chief and his refusal to fund the troop vote earlier is ridiculous. Despite Obama’s rhetoric, he would disarm our nation if he had the votes, much like Diane Feinstein, et al. He has largely ignored the gun control debate because he is on the wrong side of the issue, as is Biden, and always has been. Protestations to the contrary are lies for anyone familiar with his record on the issue, out and out lies and misrepresentations of his views on gun bans and gun control. If Obama is weak on experience, judgment, economic and defense policy, then what, if anything, does he actually bring to our republic. My sense is it is more government, higher taxes, despite his comments to the contrary, more gridlock, and with his Marxist and extremist views, God only knows what he would do as President of the United States. The only thing he has been doing is participating in a character assassination of Governor Sarah Palin. That won’t cut it, and voters are starting to recognize well that Governor Sarah Palin is intelligent, articulate and actually USES her brain. The kind of change that McCain and Palin are seeking are, indeed, reform, and clearly a change in the way the government conducts business. For example, why should the government tell a parent where they have to send their children to a public school? Why NOT return this extremely important decision to the parents, where it SHOULD reside? Why force children to stay in consistently failing schools? Democrats do NOT generally turn ANY important decision over to the people they “govern”. They do not trust law-abiding citizens to have a firearm at home, like D.C. and Chicago right now. Not even for self-defense in your own home. That is just wrong. Why not have affordable insurance and not have the government dictating where and when, and IF you can get certain medical procedures? How does that benefit our population? Senator John McCain did not steal Obama’s message, he owns it and is prepared to act, rather than hand out useless rhetoric ABOUT change.

are there still people out there that think bush has done a good job as president? are there still people out there that want more of the same…republican politics…hard to believe when you look at the world situation…

McCain and all the other right-wing wack jobs running our country have spent eight years changing our lives for the worse. We’re really in bad shape right now. America needs a Roosevelt not a Hoover. Go Obama!

McCain has been fighting for all these years? he admitted himself he has voted with Bush 90% of the time, so what would he have to fight for? To get the Bush policies approved? Seems that for all those years congress did that for them both and still has a problem not letting Bush and his party rule the country. McCain is a tired, old, POW, that unlike most POW’s, he uses his to try to be president. He makes out like what he experienced was the only EXPERIENCE in that era over 40 years ago. A lot of bad terrible things happened to people, and McCain had his life changed for that. But NO, he isnt the Change Candidate, unless he is going to change back to what he believed before he started running for president. Months ago, he was washed up, and the republican party decided that Romney was too Morman, and Huckabee was too radical, and Governor 9/11 Ronald Regan was jsut unbelievable, so they chose McCain as a champion to rally behind. They havent really rallied and now since he has picked the Hockey Mom whom was mayor and governor, and has evidently not been available enough to her kids, as she has been busy running Alaska, and hasnt even had time to pay attention to the IRAQ WAR, her words not mine, well this woman, has “Shook” up the press and now she is the ROCK STAR, but for some reaosn, the democrats wont give pay back where pay back is due. McCain is really sad, and the people that sat there and watched his sad, tired, poorly read speach, and still will vote for him only because Barack Obama is Black, or they really think McCain is going to stray from the path of Bush, are as sad as McCain is. I wish the democrats would wake up, yeah they will talk the talk, but will they get out the vote????? Democrats have managed to register so many potiential voters, but will they actually make the effort when it counts? I hope so, I really dont want my 17 year old son, having to give up his life to wage war or Russia or IRAN, or whomever McCain and Palin decides to be total Mavericks toward. And they will be that way, and they will think country first, as in Our wountry will always win, and we are willing to sacrifice whomever to prove that. I for one am not willing to have that happen.

WAKE UP AND VOTE for Barack Obama and get this country back to where it needs to be, not in debt to China and praying for oil from the whomever we can afford to buy it from.

Obama/Biden - “Change We Can Believe In”

McCain/Palin - “Proven Change We Can Refer To With Tangible Accomplishments”

McCain…what did you learn at the Naval Academy..do you remember? I was in first grade when you were there, now I am retired.. Maybe that is what you can do after the election. Don’t put yourself through this, it is much too much for you…. Give it a rest.

McCain IS Obama’s message…. McCain is on the take IN and OUT of Washington, DC… from the Keating scandal to appointing the Alaskan pitbull as his master, he’s the message: GET OUT OF THE WAY GOP… YOU BLEW IT FOR THE LAST TIME!

Didn’t know that campaign messages were property that could be stolen. Seems to me that Sen. Obama is finding it difficult to believe that there is another type of change other than the one he champions. To constantly complain is not very presidential nor is it very uplifting. Guess Oprah hasn’t told him about ‘The Secret’.

McCain and Co. will do a lot more stealing if elected. That’s for sure.

THE OBAMA BUS FROM ILLINOIS AND THE LOBBY BAGGAGE

The Golden Child of Cook County Politics now has his eye on the White House. The Obama bus from Springfield Illinois has had a lot folks underneath it, long before we started our body-count during the primary season:

Illinois Senator Alice Palmer, Senatorial candidate Askia, Cook County Commissioner Forrest Claypool, “Boss” John Stroger and other unfortunate state aldermen, commissioners and senators. Then, there’s ALL of those lobbyists (Yeah — LOBBYISTS — lots of ‘em) PAC representatives, corporate contributors, union bosses, financial services, real estate developers, healthcare providers and oil companies.

There’s STUFF under the Senator’s bus too, not just people: Illinois anti-corruption reform bills, West-Side Chicago initiatives (not the South-Side, of course; that’s Obama territory and those initiatives were shoved into Obama’s hands by the Daly Machine), budget cutting legislation, abortion legislation, the list goes on and on.

What seeds Emil Jones sowed for Obama in Chicago were cultivated by Dick Durbin in Springfield, and the rest is history.

It’s a big bus, but it can float now! And it just may float right down Pennsylvania Avenue on a sea of trampled and discarded American flags, right into the White House. What a Wonderful CHANGE that will be!

I have to agree that McCain did jump on Obama’s bandwagon. The “Change” theme has always been Obama’s right from the start, and this is something that McCain’s campaign has repeatedly tried to write off as mere talk. I was a Clinton supporter and even I can’t deny that. Whether McCain could bring change or not is up for debate, but why criticize the vision and hope for change and then try to be that visionary voice for change?

Palin likened herself to a trained pet. What else is a pitbull?

MCCain, your generation’s regressives ideals on what the world SHOULD BE, has left it worse off. I’m voting for Obama, because he has REAL vision on where your party’s rule has this country headed — continual economic collapse. People like McCain would rather have 100% of a crumb then share the whole pie.

I’m voting for Obama. Taxing countries who decide to no longer emply Americans, here in America is something I had hoped to see. If you want a tax break, create jobs here in the USA. So simple, its brilliant.

So, Obama, who voted 97% of the time with the democratically led Congress with the worst approval rating of any Congress in history wants us to believe *he’s* the champion of change? Now that’s audacity.

McCain/Palin on “change”: Proven ability to change how government does business in Washington.

Obama/Biden on “change”: Proven ability to bring change for the good to middle class Americans.

We’ll see in November what counts to Americans.

John McCain is pandering to his base. If he was really a candidate for change, he would not have allowed a far right wing candidate to run for his VP. He would not stay with the Republican party which has failed the American people for eight years, and he would not be following Rove’s Machiavellian strategy which is to change on the fly by misrepresenting yourself as a follower of your opponent’s statements.

I guess all is fair in love and war and IMO this election is a battleground for the soul of America, and I tell you, McCain is not on the side of light.

McCain/Palin = being afraid

Obama/Biden = being strong enough try for true change and new hope

Why are so many Americans so afraid?

Stand up and realize we can, WE MUST, do better!

Another veteran shouting out for Obama/Palin.

YES: McCain is stealing Obama’s Message.
HE SHOULD RETIRE NOW, HE’S TOO OLD.

The GOP has been looting and plundering our nation since they got to the trough in Washington. The surprise is not that they are stealing the bumper stickers, the surprise is they’re leaving the bumpers behind.

Fondly,
Dwight Whayle

Yes,

Read the play book, this is tit for tat defense. They sat down a figured out why Obama was slamming McCain in the polls. They are trying to macth his message, youth, Minority, underdog appeal and what ever it takes to take him down.

Not this time!

Eight is enough!

McCain is about fair change whereas Nobama is about…hmmm..what is nobama about??? Mccain tells the meaning of change and does explain what he means whereas Nobama just leaves the question hanging and lets you, the voter, define change for him which means that he does not go into detail.

When McCain votes, he says yea or nay but Nobama shows his vote by saying “PRESENT” which is definitely change but it doesn’t represent the yea’s or the nay’s.

I look at it this way, if a person wants to keep more of his hard earned money for himself and his family plus be able to defend himself by keeping a weapon at home such as a shotgun, rifle, or pistol, vote for McCain.

BUT…if a person wants to moan, groan, whine, and give the gov’t more of their hard earned money and wants the gov’t to take care of them and also remove their ability to protect themselves by removing all weapons…rifles, shotguns, pistols, etc…..from their homes then vote for the derelict called NOBAMA!!! He’ll definitely “CHANGE” your pocketbook and your safety.

The only change Palin has hoped for is one where Alaska would secede from the US.
Yeah, I said it.
They also wants to CHANGE the Constitution to include prejudices……
and…….well……..
I think that may be all the change this ‘Couple’ has spoken of.
It is amazing to me that smart, educated people are even giving this circus side show/McCain and Palin the time of day and defending them. This VP pick just shows the lack of faith the McCain campaign has for the American people.

Obama IS RIGHT (once again), Republicans DO think the American people (actually, just the middle class) are stupid. Otherwise, they wouldn’t blatantly STEAL Obama’s tactic’s on campaigning as well as pick a COMPLETELY UNQUALIFIED person to run as a VP.
Palin could not be more out of touch with the rest of America (there is no inner city Alaska). She could not be more out of touch with the rest of the world (she has only been out of the country ONCE and got her FIRST passport a little over a year ago!) My own mother has just as many children and has more international destinations under her belt than Palin - does that mean that my mother is just as qualified, if not more? My mother is way more scary too.

And Don’t even begin to say she has as much experience as Obama, because anyone who compares their records and accomplishments knows that an IVY league education, more than a decade in public service/office beats a lone Bachelors Degree and 2nd place in the Miss Alaska pageant.

I am amazed that anyone with a slice of education would support this shameful Republican Duo.

Wake up America. Wake Up MIddle Class (and yes, most of us are).

The real patriots are the ones who care for this country enough to say that it needs improvement.
