He is a known prevaricator. |

1. Illegal immigration: why won't either of you defend our borders?
2. Cap and Trade: why are both of you determined to surrender our national sovereignty to a global carbon scheme that is based on dubious scientific evidence and will impose the biggest, most expensive and most opaque bureaucracy in history?
3. Boxers or briefs?
What the heck, this IS after all the silliest election ever. |
|
Those questions attempt to repeat the smear and fear crap which Obama has had to deal with. |
|
|
How about letting the candidates ask each other questions??? |
|
In my column today I deal with this exact issue.
http://www.tygrrrrexpress.com/2008/10/what-john-mccain-must -say-and-ask/
Here are 3 bullet points.
1) Obama was against the Iraq War from the beginning. If he were in power, Saddam would still be in power, paying $25,000 to Palestinian homicide bombers. Is Obama glad Saddam is gone? If yes, how can he be without giving credit to George W. Bush?
2) How can Obama cut taxes on 95% of Americans when only 62% pay any taxes? Isn't that wealth redistribution, aka socialism?
3) How can Obama claim he wants to repair world alliances when he rejects free trade agreements that anger our allies, such as South Korea?
Respectfully,
eric aka the Tygrrrr Express

The missile defense shield? Rezko? Socialism?!?!?!
If you think this is what Joe Average in Toledo, Scranton, Lansing, Pensacola or Boulder cares about, then you shouldn't be surprised by the feeble poll numbers McCain is putting up in those states. |
|
1. Senator McCain, you and your running-mate, Sarah Palin, represent the first ticket in American History to have two candidates who have both been admonished for ethical violations. How can you run on a platform of reforming Washington when you two have the dubious distinction of being the most corrupt politicians to ever run together for the highest offices in the land?
2. Senator McCain, you have been critical of Barack Obama's association with Acorn. How do you explain your appearance (and endorsement) as their Keynote Speaker in 20066?
3. Senator McCain, you continue to raise Barack Obama's association with Bill Ayers, claiming it speaks to his judgment. Can you tell us how your close association with your "friend" and convicted felon, G. Gordon Liddy, is different? |
|
...ask NO questions. They'll be boring or irrelevant and, in either way, designed to spare his candidate.
Instead, let the candidates question each other. Proscribe the question length, responses and counters.
Now, THAT could be a lively and informative interchange. |
|
|
|
to try to get money from previous GOP supporters, including prepaid Fedx to send back money? Is this true, Hugh? Desperation if it is.
Question to Obama: What do you think Sen. McCain's biggest lapse of judgment was in this campaign? |
|
|
Since you are going to be demolished on election day, would you consider changing your ads from 100% attack on Obama to saying positive things you would do if elected? This might salvage your reputation as an honest and independent Senator and leave you with some dignity as you go into retirement. |
|
|
It is true. I received one of those pre-paid Fed-ex envelopes and returned it with McCain pesos inside. |
|
|
Sen. McCain, you rejected the desires of American citizens for enforcement of our immigration laws in favor of pandering to The National Council of The Race (LaRaza in Spanish) for votes, promising amnesty for illegal aliens, you are now polling less than 25% hispanic voters, about 1.75% of total vote, how's that working out for you? |
|
I heard about it from a friend, who returned it with a letter telling McCain why he's voting for Obama. He started an email chain telling people to do that, to waste the campaign's limited funds.
You get what you reap, McCain. |
|
|
Please comment on the RICO suit filed in Ohio against ACORN and your campaign's contribution to the group. |
|
Sir, youve said that you would not deploy "untested missile defense systems". Can you point to an example of a weapons system that meets your expectation of proper testing prior to its deployment? For example, was 'Stealth technology' sufficiently tested prior to its use?
Second question on the same subject - If you are against missile defense systems, does the same logic also apply to anti aircraft systems? Can you explain why a nations defense against missiles is going to cause international problems while defense against aircraft is simple common sense? Can you explain what you consider to be the key differences between aircraft and missiles to the American public?
|
|
|
I have been returning 3-4 postage paid envelopes a week stuffed with McCain pesos. When I got the Fed-ex envelope I almost did not return it like the others as the cost is so much more. Then I figured why not, they haven't been listening at all, after the first 20 I would have thought they would have removed me from their mailing list, just not that bright. Kind of like pandering for the votes of illegal aliens and ignoring those of citizens who want their government to do its job and enforce the laws. |
|
1. Senator McCain, can you explain why you helped Charles Keating rip off so many elderly and retirees of their pension money? Was is solely because he took you on his vacations for free and let you ride in his jet? And was that enough of a payoff - along with the money you received from Keating - for you to sell your soul by pushing for de-regulation so he could steal the life savings from all those unsuspecting people?
2. We've seen that while you've diminished your own role in the Keating Five, claiming you were a lesser player in the scheme, it actually turns out you were the ONLY member who was given special treatment and more money. Please explain the discrepancy.
3. You've claimed that you crashed your navy planes as engine malfunction and plane malfunction, when actually virtually all of your crashes leading up to the one in Nam were pilot error. Explain the lies to us.
4. Did you REALLY bail on your servicemen on board the Forrestal and hide below deck rather than help others put out the flames that eyewitnesses have claimed you were responsible for - watching the horror unfold by closed circuit TV in the room? And rather than mourn the deaths of 134 men with the heroic crew who worked feverishly to save their lives, did you REALLY instead zip off to Saigon for some "welcome R&R".
5. Why did you cheat on your first wife who stood by you through all your documented infidelities and struggles with insubordination, temper tantrums and "cowboy pilot" recklessness?
6. And finally, how can you call Senator Obama's character into question when your own character is so very poor?

why do not you help your brother in Kenya who is living on $1.00 per month?
Why do you think rationalizing your vote on the BAIPA act is moral?
Why do you think Americans should pay for the abortions of women who are too weak to say no to sex?
Why do you think partial-birth abortion should be legal?
Why did you support a law outlawing or using confiscatory taxes on ammunition?
Why will you not provide an official copy of your birth certificate?
Why should Americans believe anything you say after hearing you say in 20 years of listening to Rev. Wright he never said anything negative or derogatory about the U.S.A. or white people?
Did you have a ghost writer on your book "Dreams from My Father? If so, what was his name?
Why have you not repudiated William Ayers?
Will you appoint William Ayers to your cabinet?
Do you believe every law-abiding American has a right to own an unregistered hand gun?
Do you believe government should have more control over individuals decisions, i.e. the decisions of small business owners regarding health insurance?
Why should an American who decides to forgo college to begin a trade be forced to pay for college for someone else? |
|
what do you mean when you say that under your administration every American will be required to serve according to your ideas of what constitutes service?
How much will all of your programs cost in government monies? If you do not know the cost, why is that not irresponsible to propose programs without knowing their costs?
What is it about the American Dream that is most appealing to you?
Do you believe the most important thing about America is protecting the individual from government controls?
Do you believe that government is best seen as a benefactor to its citizens or as a problem for its citizens? |
|
|
How can you oppose a woman's right to choose under the argument that "all life is sacred" while also opposing mandatory healthcare for children? Are you arguing that it is irresponsible for a rape victim to have an abortion but it is completely acceptable for a parent to deny their children health insurance? Does a child lose the protection of the Republican party once they are born? |
|
"Why do you think Americans should pay for the abortions of women who are too weak to say no to sex?"
So, Sarah was too weak to say no to Todd about sex when it is clear that women over a certain age are more predisposed to have special needs kids?
But more importantly, Bristol Palin was too weak to say no to Levi?
Interesting. |
|
Why are you willing to desert Iraq before victory is assured? If you want to stay until victory is assured, does that include staying three years, five years, ten years or more if necessary? |
|
we just want answers. If you already know the answers to our questions, help us out here and provide them!! |
|
I will pretend to be a McCain surrogate and answer your questions.
Children without health care are still allowed to grow and thrive. Children who are aborted are dead and have no future.
It is not the government's role to decide how parents best support their children.
There are many laws in America protecting and supporting children. Neither I (Senator McCain) nor the Republican Party are advocating eliminating these laws protecting and supporting children whose mothers do not abort them.
Bring them on jeramy. You will notice JSM supporters can answer stupid leftist questions. Now how about answering those questions I posted.
For example, why will Obama,Jr. not provide an official copy of his birth certificate? If he was born in Hawaii, it is very simple to get a copy.
Or how about the one about why he believes partial-birth abortion should be legal? |
|
neither Sarah nor Bristol spent taxpayers' dollars on abortions.
You are right they did not say no. You are wrong that they chose to have a taxpayer funded abortion. They chose to accept the consequences of their decisions as any moral adult does.
Did you have a point you were trying to make?
You certainly did not answer the question which was Why do you think Americans should pay for the abortions of women who are too weak to say no to sex?
You and jeramy both write and think like someone who is less than 15 years old. |
|
"Or how about the one about why he believes partial-birth abortion should be legal?" Okay, well believes that a woman should be allowed to get an abortion but he DOES NOT BELIEVE that aborted children who are born alive should be killed. He voted against a bill which banned killing birthed infants (which was redundant since it was already illegal under state and federal statutes) because the bill contained language which jeopardized roe v. wade. He proposed a bill that was identical except it included the phrase "to the extent that it does not violate the supreme court decision on roe v. wade".
"why will Obama,Jr. not provide an official copy of his birth certificate? If he was born in Hawaii, it is very simple to get a copy." He has, it is on record. Some disgruntled Clinton supporter tried to claim it was a fake, his claims have been thoroughly disproved.
Do you have any others... |
|
Well, I can see why you might want to pursue that storyline, but when the history of this election is written, historians will see that second debate as part of the continuum where Barack put the fears of the people to rest.
One word for you guys: supermajority. |
|
|
You ask all the wrong questions. No wonder your team got us in such a quagmire. We're tapped out, chump, thanks to you guys and your leadership. We'll get out of Iraq honorably, but we ain't gonna stick around chasing stupid policies just to save your political hide. |
|
you need to read better. I am not talking about abortion.
You said that Obama supports abortion for women who were too weak to say no to sex. Regardless of who pays for an abortion, or whether anyone even has an abortion, would you say Bristol Palin was too weak to say no to Levi? Simple, direct question. Answer it.
I bet if Bristol had an abortion, you'd find a way to justify it because she is imperfect, right? But if others have abortions, not ok? |
|
How can you possibly argue that mandatory health insurance for children should be a right, while at the same time criticizing parents for not being the ones to provide their children with health insurance? If parents want to insure their kids or NOT insure their kids, that is their fundamental "right" to do so, sir. Just because parents might choose not to insure their kids does NOT mean they don't treat their kids for whatever medical needs they may incur. They just pay for the cost on their own.
The point about mandatory health insurance for kids is that it shifts the PAYOR BURDEN TO third party tax-payers and AWAY from the families that may have the needs. It's just so sad that you can't grasp this. |

Nautical metaphors could sink Obama
A newly discovered anecdote from Bill Ayers' 1993 book "To Teach" solidifies the case that he is indeed the muse behind Barack Obama's "Dreams From My Father."
In the book, Ayers tells the story of an adventurous teacher who would take her students out to the streets of New York to learn interesting life lessons about the culture and history of the city.
As Ayers tells it, the students were fascinated by the Hudson River nearby and asked to see it. When they got to the river's edge, one student said, "Look, the river is flowing up." A second student said, "No, it has to flow south-down."
Not knowing which was right, the teacher and the students did their research. What they discovered, writes Ayers, was "that the Hudson River is a tidal river, that it flows both north and south, and they had visited the exact spot where the tide stops its northward push."
In his 1995 book, "Dreams From My Father," Barack Obama shares an intriguing story from his own brief New York sojourn.
|
|
He tells of meeting with "Marty Kauffman" at a Lexington Avenue diner, the man from Chicago who was trying to recruit him as a community organizer.
After the meeting, Obama "took the long way home, along the East River promenade." As "a long brown barge rolled through the gray waters toward the sea," Obama sat down on a bench to consider his options.
While sitting, he noticed a black woman and her young son against the railing. Overly fond of the too well remembered detail, Obama observes, "They stood side by side, his arm wrapped around her leg, a single silhouette against the twilight."
The boy appeared to ask his mother a question that she could not answer and then approached Obama:
"Excuse me, mister," he shouted. "You know why sometimes the river runs that way and then sometimes it goes this way?"
The woman smiled and shook her head, and I said it probably had to do with the tides.
Obama uses the seeming indecisiveness of this tidal river as a metaphor for his own. Immediately afterwards, he shakes the indecision and heads for Chicago.
This one anecdote holds a host of problems for Obama. For one, the East River would be hugely out of his way no matter where he lived in New York and especially if he lived anywhere near the Columbia campus on the upper West Side.
More troubling, his serendipitous journey to the river enables him to tell a story that is transparently fabricated and almost assuredly hatched in the weathered brain of Bill Ayers.
Even were there no other clues, Obama's frequent and sophisticated use of nautical metaphors makes a powerful case for Ayers' involvement in the writing of "Dreams."

Whose wealth do you want to spread, and to whom? |
|
Fannie Mae was started by Democrats, supported by Democrats, raped and looted by Democrats whom you've hired as campaign advisors, will you pursue prosecutions against the CEO's of Fannie Mae for fraud?
Will you demand ethics investigations into the role members of your own party played in the destruction of the world's economy?
Will you return the campaign donations provided by Fannie Mae?
Will you make public a list of the foreign donors who've donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to your campaign?
You said that you may have to put some of your agenda off till the financial crisis has quelled. Will you be specific about what parts of your economic plan you'll have to put on hold?
Yes or No. Do you think self-sufficiency is preferable to dependency? If so, does giving someone something they haven't earned encourage self-sufficiency or dependency? If not, why is dependency preferable?
Are you opposed to vote fraud? Will you prosecute those who've committed vote fraud, even if they are funded by your campaign?
|
|
Did you have a ghost writer on your book "Dreams from My Father? If so, what was his name? NO. This was written entirely by Barack. UNLIKE McCain and HIS books, btw.
Why have you not repudiated William Ayers? HE HAS. He has denounced the man's radical past. Ayers is now a respected community leader in eduction - something Republicans have shared with him and crossed paths with him in their work. To denounce the man's work NOW as he stands in the community today, should be asked of every Republican who has worked with him in this capacity as well. When will McCain repudiate the odious past of G. Gordon Liddy? HAS he? I think not. And THIS should be a problem for him. YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE, EDDIE. Shameless one, at that.
Will you appoint William Ayers to your cabinet? ANSWER: Kinda like appointing Gonzo, Palin, Liddy, Rove - all people who have committed unlawful acts? No - Obama's more honorable than McCain/Bush
Do you believe every law-abiding American has a right to own an unregistered hand gun? ANSWER: I hope he doesn't.
Do you believe government should have more control over individuals decisions, i.e. the decisions of small business owners regarding health insurance? ANSWER: or say, who can and can't get married, have an abortion or protest during a GOP campaign rally? Or does the Government's big brother attitude work only if it suits the GOP and it's shameless, misinformed dupes?
Why should an American who decides to forgo college to begin a trade be forced to pay for college for someone else? ANSWER: why should an American who disagrees with wars based on a lies be forced to pay for it anyway? |
|
I have in no way criticized women who accept responsibility for their decisions as Sarah and Bristol have. My question was about women who refuse to accept the consequences of their own decisions and instead of accepting the consequences expect taxpayers to pay to have their children killed. That is what Obama, Jr. supports and that is what my question was about.
You are the one who is deliberately distorting the question. You are the one who is trying to separate the relationship my question established between taxpayer funding of abortion and women wanting to evade the consequences of their free decisions.
You must be very very young, because your thought reasoning ability is incredibly immature. |
|
Are you a patriot, Senator McCain? If your answer is "yes", please explain given this:
"he Washington lobbyist John McCain has named to head his presidential transition team aided an influence effort on behalf of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to ease international sanctions against his regime.
The two lobbyists who McCain aide William Timmons worked closely with over a five year period on the lobbying campaign later either pleaded guilty to or were convicted of federal criminal charges that they had acted as unregistered agents of Saddam Hussein's government.
During the same period beginning in 1992, Timmons worked closely with the two lobbyists, Samir Vincent and Tongsun Park, on a previously unreported prospective deal with the Iraqis in which they hoped to be awarded a contract to purchase and resell Iraqi oil. Timmons, Vincent, and Park stood to share at least $45 million if the business deal went through.
Timmons' activities occurred in the years following the first Gulf War, when Washington considered Iraq to be a rogue enemy state and a sponsor of terrorism. His dealings on behalf of the deceased Iraqi leader stand in stark contrast to the views his current employer held at the time." |
|
|
Are you worried that you associations with terrorists will prevent you from getting FBI clearance? |
|
I see you do not know the answers to my questions either. Par for the course for Obama, Jr. supporters.
Defense of our country is everyone's obligation.
Providing a competitor with a college education should be no one's responsibility other than the one receiving the benefit.
You are right, Obama, Jr. has not repudiated Ayers. He has only repudiated his terrorist activities (what moron would not repudiate bombing the Pentagon?). He still defends his associations with Ayers, who is unrepentant for his violent terrorism.
You only hope he would not appoint Ayers to his cabinet. That is why I want the question asked. No one knows if he would. He values his association with Ayers over his mentor of 20 years, Rev. Wright, whom he did repudiate.
Prove the book was written entirely, without a ghost writer, by Junior. You do not know. You are just spouting what you want to believe.
You provided evidence that you know none of the answers to my questions, which is my point in asking them. No one knows the answers, because Obama, Jr. will not disclose what he really thinks and believes.
|
|
why do not you help your brother in Kenya who is living on $1.00 per month? Debunked garbage. The man came out recently and told of his disgust for the RW shillhorn using him to slime his half-brother. http://mediamatters.org/items/200808260023
Why do you think rationalizing your vote on the BAIPA act is moral? ANSWER: another baseless allegation aimed at garnering the Catholic vote and adding the time-honored wedge to a failing campaign for some loft. McCain's healthcare plan would put more women into a position of no hope, and will likely have to turn to abortion to deal with costs of healthcare. His is not a pro-life healthcare plan. In fact it is the opposite. So start parsing that one over, willya?
Why do you think Americans should pay for the abortions of women who are too weak to say no to sex? ANSWER: because they'd pay for the research and the coverage of meds that keep those men from losing their ability to 'perform' and act irresponsibly.
Why will you not provide an official copy of your birth certificate? ANSWER: when McCain provides his detailed medical report AND mental health report to the voting public so that we might make an informed decision regarding his shaking health and mind.
|
|
Senator McCain has no lobbyists working for him. You are lying when you say that.
Former lobbyists maybe, but no lobbyists are working on his campaign.
Maybe you could exert a little effort and try to tell the truth occasionally. |
|
|
Come on, eddie. Be honest: do you really expect to completely ignore the points I made about your questions and not realize that what you are doing is counterintuitive to supporting McCain? You don't even ACKNOWLEDGE McCain's horrible past, do you? The accusations you make of Obama - falsely, I might add - actually DO parallel much of McCain's own very real history. To deny this is to admit to a moronic mindset. |
|
thanks for the answer, but that is not what Obama, Jr. says. He says we will be out within sixteen months. He has never spoken of staying until victory is achieved in Iraq. |
|
|
Rick Davis received money until September from Fannie May - while he was in McCain's employ. He is STILL selling access to McCain - that's what lobbyists DO. Every one of McCain's lobbyists on his campaign have an agenda, and while they may not visibly make money from their lobbyist careers, they are certainly using their influence on McCain's policies. Cheney claimed he wasn't on Halliburton's payroll as VP, but Halliburton won no-bid contracts in Iraq and N.O. That's called war profiteering, my friend, and cronyism runs rampant with these guys. McCain is NO different - ask Charlie Keating |
|
Are lobbyist illegal or something? I do not get it.
Did McCains people cause the world economy to crash in order to gain political advangate?
My question to you V.O.Treason.
What is your socialist Democrat dreams modeled after? Are they Hugo Chávez of Venezuela or a Fidel Alejandro Castro of Cuba fame?
Which one of these two 'Hussein Obama concepts are you voting for?
|
|
1) Senator McCain, your campaign has issued a press release trumpeting that it has been endorsed by Leonora Annenberg. However, it has been discovered that Leonora and Walter Annenberg have in the past given $50 million to William Ayers, whom you describe as a domestic terrorist. The Annenbergs, who are Republicans, have also give money to George W. Bush, Rick Santorum, Fred Thompson, Strom Thurmond and Mitt Romney. If you stand by your criticism of Obama for working with Ayers, do you also strongly condemn the Annenbergs for funding a man whom you call a terrorist? And would you also condemn Santorum, Thompson, Romney and other politicians who have endorsed you and, in effect, accepted money from terrorist sympathizers?
The information is from here: http://www.republicansforobama.org/?q=node/3027 |
|
|
The US Personal Reliability Program bars any military personnel who confessed to the use of cocaine and a number of other illegal drugs at any time from working with nuclear weapons or commanding nuclear equipped units. Mr. Schiffer should ask Mr. Obama why the PRP would not bar him from being Commander- in-Chief of our nuclear equipped military. |
|
he supports partial-birth abortion as you agreed. He also voted present or against the BAIPA that contained the language about affecting the right to abortion. Besides since when do you put an abstraction before protecting innocent children. He also supports taxpayer funding of abortion and he supports eliminating all restrictions on abortion. Then, like a coward, he avoids his positions on these issues like they are a plague, but he does not repudiate them. He just does want them to be known to the general public.
|
|
Walter Annenberg was not alive when that grant was given to Ayers. |
|
That's why Patrick49. He is the civilian commander of the military and is not subject to military codes of conduct. Military regulations do not hold for the civilians who control the military.
Nice try, though. |
|
But Leonora was. Do you think she is a terrorist sympathizer/funder and should McCain reject her endorsement and the endorsements of all the politicians who took money from this terrorist enabler?
Try to answer the question straight. |
|
there are no lobbyists employed by McCain's campaign. If you have evidence proving otherwise, provide it.
google Jill Stanek if you want the truth on Obama, Jr. and the BAIPA. The National Right to Life will also be able to provide you with the details. Do your really not know Obama, Jr.'s record on BAIPA or do you not want to know his real record or do you know his record and are just trying to hide it?
|
|
I am talking about his brother not his cousin who led the violent attempt to overturn Kenya's elections. Of course, his cousin has money.
If you would leave a family member in abject poverty, than Obama, Jr. is your man. |
|
|
just clearing my throat eddie. |
|
|
We know pretty much about McCain, but very little about Barack's human side behind his political persona. Bob should deal briefly with that with a question that reveals both candidates' private life. Barack is still shrouded in mystery. I have not heard or read any testimonials from his college friends, business associates and colleagues before he entered politics. I would've like to have heard from his grandparents, who are noticeably absent, about their grandson if they are able. The more we know about the candidates aside from their politics, the more informed we'll be. Barack appears to be a loner by nature and says very little about himself. That in itself is an uncomfortable situation, at least for me. |
|
maybe you do not realize it, but answering a question with a question is different from actually answering the question.
You are not alone in not knowing anything about Obama, Jr.'s past. Millions of Americans are in the same boat.
You must be one of the children reaching puberty this year.
Maybe you have sources that can be reviewed for your questions concerning JSM's military record. I would like to review them.
As far as Keating, both Senators Glenn and McCain were exonerated of any wrong doing. The Democrat who led the investigation has stated that.
Please cite your sources that demonstrate the falsehoods in my questions. |
|
Ayers past and supported the funding in spite of it? Also, is she the one who has to sign off on all Annenberg foundation grants?
If the answer to both of those questions are yes, than I think she too is very mistaken to trust Ayers. |
|
The Hon. Walter Annenberg was most definitely alive in the '90's and very much involved with Annenberg Foundation at the time.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Annenberg |
|
You have bad morals and have sex, you get pregnant, but because you don't abort it, no harm, no foul.
And I'm supposed to be impressed by Bristol why? She couldn't honor her mother's alleged morals, but she gets a pass because she didn't abort?
Answer the question, Eddie...if she had the abortion, Bristol is a bad girl, right? Just like a leftie who has an abortion, right? Same? Right? |
|
I have answered all of your questions, do you plan to do the same for mine? Asking a questions prompted by my question is not answering my question?
Also, I am unaware of JSM's horrible past. I do not consider your saying something makes what you say factual.
I am only too willing to review your sources for your questions concerning his flying record |
|
William Timmons, the Washington lobbyist who John McCain has named to head his presidential transition team, aided an influence effort on behalf of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to ease international sanctions against his regime.
The two lobbyists who Timmons worked closely with over a five year period on the lobbying campaign later either pleaded guilty to or were convicted of federal criminal charges that they had acted as unregistered agents of Saddam Hussein's government. |
|
|
Too bad you can't moderate this debate. It would be an electoral landslide for McCain. Loved your questions! |
|
two things. First, are you equating Cindy McCain's sister's lifestyle with Obama, Jr's brother's lifestyle?
Second, what do you mean by broke? Is she living in a homeless shelter? Also, do you know that the family has done nothing for to help her? I would be interested in any citation you can provide showing the McCain's are not helping her and indicating how destitute her life is now. |
|
|
How can Obama talk about creating jobs when we've literally been giving American jobs away. Too many Americans think they're too good to do certain jobs - which is another reason the economy is tanking. |
|
so if one is not very familiar with ayers, say you were a child at the time and his bombings didn't exactly come up in those board meetings 40 years later and you see scores of dems AND REPUBLICANS working with him on his projects, you see that as a reason to be forgiven for working with him? good to know.
but even then you only see annenberg as "very mistaken" to trust ayers and give him FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS!!! very mistaken? not exactly the language used to describe obama's association with ayers, but intellectual honesty is in short supply nowadays.
oh, and what about all the politicians who took money from the annenberg? should they have know she gave FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS and was a supporter of a domestic terrorist? and should they be rebuked for accepting support from the funder of a terrorist? |
|
having someone abort your child is always objectively immoral. Sex outside of marriage is always objectively immoral.
However, Christ came to offer forgiveness to the repentant. In other words, sins can be and are forgiven if the sinner is truly sorry and truly determined to not sin again.
Although YOU may be, I am not in the habit or position to be judging the state of anyone's soul.
Is there anything you do not understand about my answer? I will be happy to claify it. I tried to make it as straight forward and direct as I could. |
|
you are hallucinating. I did not bring up Bristol anywhere in my question. I do not know why you are obsessed with her and her pregnancy. I have never said sex outside of marriage was an acceptable behavior.
Where are you getting these weird ideas? Peyote? |
|
if you know so much, when did he die and when was the grant given? |
|
eddie, uh, cindy mccain has said she's an ONLY CHILD. that doesn't really sound like she's providing support, let alone acknowledgement, for her half-sister.
but for more information on that you can just use google and see what support she's received over the decades. (hint: about 1/1,000,000,000th of 1 percent of mccain's wealth). |
|
|
Hey Hugh, I like your questions but they wouldn't work for McCain in the debate format, in my humble opinion. I think they are a little too inside-the-beltway type questions. We need questions that would hit close to home with Americans--especially the ones in Ohio. BTW, where the hell did that Browns performance come from yesterday? |

you are right on the Annenberg foundation and when walter died (after the grant). If he and his wife knew the purpose of the grant and who was ramrodding it, they are no better than Obama, Jr.
Yes they all are responsible for knowing whether they are advancing the agenda of someone as depraved as William Ayers. That goes for all Dems and Republicans who might have benefited from a relationship with Ayers or more importantly assisted Ayers in his lunatic agenda. |
|
|
see my last post at 4:30 pm. That should have been addressed to you. My apologies. |
|
I am sure you are trying to make a point. I still do not understand it.
It seems that you think the condition Cindy McCain's half-sister finds herself in is comparable to the situation that Obama, Jr.'s half-brother finds himself in. If that is your point, I believe it is irrational and ignores reality. |

McCain should give up on Obama's past and focus on the damage that Obama's economic policies will do to our economy. It's bizarre to think that the very policies that were used to create the great depression and the malaise days of the Carter era are going to somehow work now.
Obama's associations are a problem since it shows the type of people he feels comfortable hanging out with and it shows that presidential candidate Obama is a fascade created to put a radical leftist in power. McCain is too much of a chump to pursue this avenue of debate so he may as well stick with what Americans are really concerned about. |

Thanks. Sometimes I have my moments;) |

So you think it that the government should guarantee the health of fetuses (when the fetus is still part of the mother's body) but once the child is born, the government no longer mandates health care... yeah that makes a whole lot of sense. Even if life began at conception, it certainly wouldn't end at birth. |

eddie,
i appreciate the honesty on annenberg. i e-mailed hugh that information. i doubt he'll show the same integrity.
as for the sister, it is not directly parallel, of course and, truthfully, it did shock me that obama didn't cut this guy a check, pay for him to get job training or something. but the point i'm making is one of scale. obama's $4 to $5 million dollar fortune should be shared to raise his brother from poverty the same way cindy mccain's $100 million fortune should have been used to raise her sister from working class.
if you're worth $100 million, a direct descendant of your father, the man who made the money, should benefit....and not just get $10,000, credit card payments and some tuition.
now cindy, of course, isn't obligated to give one dime to her sister who she barely knows. and obama isn't obligated to give to a brother he barely knows. |

Here is a suggestion for McCain's closing comments in the debate. (The key words are: "Change", "The Right kind of Change" and "More of the Same").
When Democrats edged out Republicans to gain majority in the Congress in 2006, they did it trumpeting a message of “change” which is now being pushed once again by Senator Obama who is carrying the water for the Democrat leaders in the Congress. Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid both rode a wave of ending the Iraq war immaterial of the outcome, advocated a change from the so called corrupt Republicans and to run the most ethical & civil government. Lo and behold what did we get in the last two years? The Iraq war is winding down and our troops will return with honor just as President Bush wanted; we have seen a do-nothing congress waste two years of people’s time piling heaps of abuse on the administration and our troops while doing nothing to alleviate the energy crisis. And we now find out that the Democrats’ egregious greed and corruption are at the base of the meltdown of our economy going all the way back to Jimmy Carter. Beware of the “change” when it comes out of a Democrat’s mouth. If this is not enough, wait until you get Obama who is buddy with a domestic terrorist and an America-hating pastor ascends to presidency, assisted by the Democrat Congress. You get “MORE OF THE SAME”!
McCain-Pelin may not represent the best among us but have better plans than Obama-Beiden to bring about the real “change” to turn around this tanked housing market, flailing stock-market and make our country energy independent. They have proven records to show what they could accomplish in their individual arenas to put government on our side. Vote for real change, vote for McCain-Palin ticket this November!
|
|
ok. but you didn't address any of my points about the annenbergs giving FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS to a terrorist and many republican politicians, mitt romney, fred thompson, george w. bush, strom thurmond, etc. accepting the financial support of annenberg, a woman who, by their definition, is a terrorist sympathizer. should she be pilloried. and if obama should have known, should all those politicians not have known as well...and suffer equal rebuking?
eddie has even admitted as much. let's see how long it takes intellectual honesty to creep out of you. |

"obama's $4 to $5 million dollar fortune should be shared to raise his brother from poverty the same way cindy mccain's $100 million fortune should have been used to raise her sister from working class."
What a crock of SH*T! Obama's the one preaching wealth redistribution...er...I mean, "fairness". Like all socialists, he's generous with everybody elses money but his own.
You're as pathetic as your messiah.
|
|
remember I said anyone who associates with, accepts the assistance of or aids William Ayers should be suspect. I did not go so far as to say anyone who associates with someone who associates with Ayers should be suspect.
Even I have my limits on how far to draw inference by association. |

I do not believe you would ignore the desperate economic plight of a blood brother, even if you had just become aware of his existence. I do not believe 99.99% of Americans would react in that situation as has Obama, Jr.
This along with his votes on BAIPA lead me to question Obama, Jr's fitness for any position of leadership. He is a cold and calculating man.
When I speak of my distrust of him, I have reasons. It is not simply political. I have been a registered Democrat, also registered Independent and am now registered Republican.
I voted for George McGovern (my first vote for POTUS) and for Eugene McCarthy (my second vote for POTUS). I do not come to my beliefs and positions lightly.
As I have said before, I would not vote for Obama, Jr. to save my life. Again, I do not say that lightly. |

you like so many fundys are hypocrites. Your Christian kid gets pregnant, she's fallen, she's imperfect. My non-Christian kid gets pregnant, she's a ho.
I am so glad that the GOP is going down in huge flames. Perhaps the intelligent members, the educated members of the GOP, will wrest control from you fundys and nutters and you can all create your own party. You can call it the JESUSFORGIVESUS party.
Beyond laughable. Enjoy the next 8 years of Obama and Biden. With the world respecting us again, we'll maybe have a chance at being a real world power again. |
|
The Annenbergs are not the terrorists. Nobody has accused them of such. There is absolutely no reason for politicians who received donations from the Annenbergs to suspect that they were funding terrorists.
And I'll bet that precious few Republicans are within 100'-pole distance to the Annenbergs now.
Ayres is the terrorist. Obama knew this. If Obama says differently, he's lying.
But what else is new? If I were trying to get elected to national office and I had friends like Khalidi, business partners like Rezko and Ayres, a minister like Wright, a mentor like Frank Marshall Davis, the rapist CEO's of Fannie Mae as campaign advisors,......, I'd lie my a** off too. |
|
"socialism and wealth redistribution has nothing to do with sharing wealth WITHIN A FAMILY."
Yeah. It does. Yes or No? Is self-sufficiency preferable to dependency?
|
|
|
it is preferable, yes.....except for one thing.....pssst....cindy mccain inherited the money. she didn't earn it. so she is as self-sufficient as her sister. |

I always enjoy myself, but thanks for the well wishes.
There is nothing Obama, Jr. can do to take away my joy. However, not everyone has the ability to enjoy and endure that I have and it is for them that I speak.
Everything I know about Obama, Jr. makes him a disaster for the little (little both in age and knowledge) ones.
I know of nothing in his past that demonstrates concern for anyone besides himself. If you know of something, you should let me know. What good has Obama, Jr. done for society? What are his successes? Their would be fewer attacks if he or you could come up with something, anything!!! |
|
If we elect Obama, the world will love us because we'll have a limp-wristed castrati as President.
Yet another reason to vote against Obama. I'd rather be hated because of fear, than be loved and viewed as a pu**y.
Pacifism is the privledge of the protected. |
|
|
|
there is a fundamental difference between falling and repentance and falling and defiance. If you cannot understand that, further conversation is simply casting pearls before swine and since I have been advised not to do that. |
|
I don't care how she got her money.
Does giving someone something they didn't earn encourage dependency or self-sufficiency? |
|
|
You can't throw in the towel, you are the one who wanted McCain from the get go. We couldn't have a candidate that WOULD secure the border and enforce the law, what a large majority wants, because "McCain was the only one who could beat Hillary". The GOP now has the oldest candidate ever, who said he doesn't know economics, that won't take it to the Democrats. Don't you wish you had Duncan Hunter now? |
|
enough. You are a hypocrite. All fundys are. You have ministers who rant against gays because they are gay. You say being gay is a choice, yet you won't answer the question asked of you repeatedly--when did you choose to be straight, before or after you tried gay sex and didn't like it? You want privacy for aberrant lifestyle choices like homeschooling (as anti-social a thing as can be), but you won't let gays get married because somehow their marriage harms your world.
I'd ask John McCain what he would do if his daughter told him she is gay and intends to marry her partner. Same to Sarah. The only way to ferret out their hatred would be to force them to admit that they would bring in the exorcist to get rid of the gay demons. LOL. foolish fundys. |
|
|
is that you were to e-mail your questions directly to Hugh (see above blog) and he will try to get the questions to the moderator. Sheesh...no one cares what your answers are you foolish children...and gotcha questions are redundant. Remember to read for content...my third graders do better than that! |
|
I just hope this moderator finally forces them to answer the questions they're asked instead of just being vague or talking about something else altogether.
I get it: Obama wins the popularity contest, but that's NOT WHAT I'M VOTING FOR! I want who's going to be right on the issues! I pray they force them to tackle real issues this time. |

You have advocated educational programs that include denying federal funding to young people that choose not to participate in your civilian work corp, which you insist would have a budget larger than the Defense budget. Your education record includes 7 years on a board dedicated to radical ideology formulated by Bill Ayers, a domestic terrorist who visited Venezuela last year to applaud the communist regime of Hugo Chavez and his indoctrination program as a model for American school Children. How can average American families educate their children if they are financially punished for not complying with such a radical socialist education program? |
|
|
Senator Obama, if you are elected President, will we members of the MSM be expected to be on our knees all the time or can we rotate and take turns? |
|
Simple question:
Why has there not been another terrorist attack on our homeland since 9/11/2001?
Followup question:
What policies did the Bush administration put in place that you supported that has resulted in us not being attacked in over 7 years? |
|
|
The gov't isn't "guaranteeing the health" of a fetus but protecting its right to live. Its guaranteeing precisely that--a right to a life and nothing more. Your analogy is absurd sir. |
|
|
one word for you, "explicitscriptures". You found any, YET, "chump"? |
|
Senator Obama you have called Rev Wright and Father Phleger your mentors! Both of these gentlemen have rabidly racist views of this country! Your church of over 20 years held as a basic tenent that blacks are "captives" in an America designed to "kill and/or imprison the
talented tenth" of the black population! Can anyone be deeply affiliated with these mentors and church over almost all of his adult life and not have his judgement and character strongly questioned by any thinking American?
Any white politican who had the same ties with a the KKK or similar organizations would have to answer the hard questions of why would he have any connection whatsoever with such a vile hate spewing organization! Why should America accept at face value your statement that you have resigned from this church and won't talk about it because it has become a distraction?
Senator Obama your sorry record of choosing your mentor, church, pastor, friends, co-board members and political allies speak volums about who you think should have a strong voice in your term as president! Why should anyone think differently? |
|
McCain could you please aks Mr. Obama why he has such a long list of friends that are radicals and american hating?
Obama could you please explain to America why it would be in our best interest to loose in Iraq?
Why do you think you have any idea how to lead Anerica in the war against terrorist?
Why, if you believe in redistribution of wealth did you give so little to charity through out your life? |
|
Here are a few questions for Senator McCain:
1 – During the 110th Congress you voted on ten separate occasions to deny additional funding for veterans benefits. You also opposed extending the “GI Bill” to provide a college education to all returning vets, as was done after World War II. Will you pledge as President actually to care for our servicemen and women instead of just giving the issue lip service?
2 – As a Senator you’ve endorsed war or the threat of war against a number of countries, including Iraq, Iran, Panama, Russia, Afghanistan, Syria, North Korea, Serbia, and China. As President will you pledge to adopt a more rational attitude and not risk the lives of our brave military in such a reckless manner?
3 – Since abandoning your first wife (and daughter) in order to marry a wealthy heiress, you’ve led a privileged, luxurious life, while supporting policies (such as the 'privatization' of Social Security) that would threaten the financial security of millions of elderly people. Do you promise as President to take a more responsible positions regarding those less fortunate than you?
4 – According to the non-partisan Children’s Defense Fund, you have the worst voting record on children's issues of any contemporary Senator. As President will you devote more attention to the well-being of our most defenseless citizens and stop pandering to anti-abortion extremists?

one person, this eddie idiot, dominating almost the entire conversation yesterday with nonsense about Obama. Or as he calls him "Obama Jr." Not sure what that's supposed to mean but ha. ha. very funny. grow up! |
|
he has just as much, if not more, shakey associations - so please don't go there tonight with the Ayers nonsense.
McCain and this Palin idiot are both corrupt. But don't take my word for it, research them yourself, objectively, and find out just how much nonsense and unethical behavior they have been involved in. Palin is currently facing ethics charges. Despite the fact that she seems as if she's in a state of denial.
All bets will be settled win the voters go to the booths on November 4. Obama and Biden will be sworn into office in January - you can bet on that. Sorry if it makes you mad, but that's the way it goes. |

Yes, Ayers posed for his portrait trampling the american flag. And yes, he and Obama were associates. But Obama was only 40 years old at the time! |
|
1)Considering all of the legitimate complaints and state investigations of ACORN this election cycle, would Obama appoint a special prosecutor to investigate ACORN organized voter fraud. Would he demand that Congress defund this organization?
2)Consdering the huge amounts of taxpayer's cash the Wall St bailout is costing us, and the ongoing War on Terror, which domestic programs would Obama be in favor of cutting or scraping altogether?
3)Does Obama plan on extending the Bush 2003 tax cuts, or will he let them expire? Will Obama demand that Congress rescind the Alternative Minimum Tax? |
|
|
that flag thing- it's just a symbol. It doesn't reflect a person's patriotism. Obama loves his country. He has been stressing that ever since his wife and Reverend's speeches became public. |
|
What is the difference between a "precondition" and "preparations" prior to diplomatic meetings? What "preparations" would you make?
In light of the fact that Achmedinijad has remarked that HE has "preconditions" for meeting with you, would you meet those?
When have you put yourself in an uncomfortable position in order to defend America? For example, did you ever speak up to your associates, or your fellow congregants to do so?
Why the lapel pin, when you made an issue out of it being a false symbol before?
You told Germans you are a "citizen of the world". Why didn't you tell them you were an American?
You said you'd like to downsize our military and look to the UN and NATO should those kinds of needs arise. How helpful have they been in the past. Do they have America's defense at heart?
You and Mr. Ayers funded schools that traded the pledge of allegiance to the flag for a pledge of allegiance to the world. Do your children say the pledge of allegiance?
Did you register with selective service on your 18th birthday or at any time thereafter? If not, why not?

You told graduating college students to forego corporate money and serve their community. You got rich as a community organizer. So were you saying they should forego money, or just corporations?
Your previous statements about your vote on the Born Alive act have been shown to be false. You were no doubt condufsed. Can you explain why you voted against it?
You alluded in your last debate to use of our military where genocide was involved. Do you consider that no such thing was happening under saddam hussein?
You have stressed the importance of killing bin Laden. Once that is accomplished, what then?
You proposed that the US pay a Global Tax to the UN that would essentially amounts to about $845 billion dollars. That's a couple thousand per taxpayer. Can you explain why?
You say you will save lots of money by pulling out of iraq. But you propose a surge into afghanistan. Where exactly will the cost savings occur (are the soldiers going to afghanistan for free? without supplies? what?)
You have said you will cut taxes for 95% of the middle class. But your proposal is really just a rebate check to people (not necessarily all taxpayers). The tax rates really won't go down. How can you say it's cutting taxes?
Why is your campaign using children in ads so much. Do you believe it's ethical?
Who specifically awarded you your college scholarships?
What do you plan to do specifically for the african american community that you will not do for whites? |
|
|
Hey Bob, whats that thing on your face? |
|
Ok... here's a question for Obama and any Dem out there...
If you have 1 employee, Mike, who earns $60K/yr, and another employee, Tom, who earns $40k/yr, would you say that it's perfectly ok to tell Mike that he has to give Tom $10K of his salary so that they're both earning $50K/yr? I mean, that would be fair right? It shouldn't matter that Mike possibly worked harder, or is more skilled at what he does than Tom... It's not fair to Tom that Mike makes more than him right? So, Mike should be perfectly willing to give Tom $10K/yr. right?
Yeah, ask any Democrat if they would be willing to do that? Actually, if they really do believe in that, then I assume they're already doing it right? Or at least when tax time comes, they send in an extra $100 when they pay their taxes right? Please... |
|
|
hilarious. good questions too. |
|
Well done! You're a rock star. It was good to read your measured conversation with those from the left.
|
|

We need more questions like these at these debates. These debates have become painful to watch. There is nothing new to learn in these debates anymore. The illuminati media is simply trying to reinforce the status quo. Anyone who turns on nightly news or boots up a computer, or listens to radio has heard the same lies form these candidates over and over. Obama is the worst, for while he is promising massive and radical changes to government, it is the same script we've been hearing, all the while new reports point Obama out to be nothing but an idealist. |
