I curious to know why you feel that a connection Obama had 40 years ago (by the way that would have made him only 8 years old) is SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than an associations McCain had just 20 years ago.

Sarah Palin addressed the AIP convention only a couple of months ago and said "I share your values" and "keep up the good work" -I wonder what she meant???
The AIP founder was murdered in a explosives deal gone bad. I'd call that domestic terrorism, wouldn't you?

Individuals at a law firm founded by Charles H. Keating, Jr., who symbolized how political influence contributed to the collapse of savings and loans in the 1980s, have bundled at least $50,000 to John McCain's presidential campaign since June, the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics has calculated, making the Cincinnati-based firm McCain's sixth-largest contributor during that period.

He clearly did not learn that deregulation of the S&L industry which cost thousands their savings and pensions was a bad thing.
He clearly did not learn that deregulation of the Finance Industry which is costing millions their 401k and pensions and savings, is a bad thing.
He has even found ways to cheat his own Campaign Finance Reform.
How can we reward a man who was unable to learn a thing from what he has described as "his most horrible personal event"?
I say we defeat McCain in 2008.

Ayers might have been an unhappy and disgruntled young man but he has turned his life around and is a valued member of the community and is a distinguished Professor. He was never convicted on any of the charges yet Charles Keating the McCain's personal friend and confidant was convicted on 73 counts and was sent to prison.
As the World as we know it comes crashing down as a result of the financial debacle bought about by the Ruthugs and their greed and dishonesty their only audience is amongst the 'Joe six packs' ! Alas even the 'Joe six packs' seeks knowledge and better future that neither Palin nor McSame can offer.

What I do not understand is why the reporters in the media NEVER mention the fact that ALL charges were dropped against Bill Ayers in the 1970s! And that Bill Ayers is a Distingushed Professor who does everything he can to help Americans in need. Do you think Keating (and the McCains and Palins) help Americans in need? Hell NO they don't. They help themselves and they are greedy bastards.

gone. Squeal on me and you will feed the fishes. The government learned a lot when they
investigated the Mafia. These are clearly the tactics the present administration has used. I
will not include everyone in office with this verdict but most of them. They should be fish food.
To me Obama is fresh. Not too tainted for years in office. He is fresh enough, smart enough and
he has lived what most countrymen have lived. He is empathetic to the peoples needs. When he
is elected, I pray that the secret service protects him with the same zeal they protected the present
occupant of the White House. Bush was so bad that we couldn't rely on a foreign entity or the mob to do him in. He managed to do to our country what no war, attack or nuclear bomb could do. He has destroyed our country. BinLadin really didn't have to lift a finger.

Cindy always says she is the only child. She lied even when she was talking to a christian channel talking about being the only child.
She cut off all of her sister credit cards and her nephew's too after their father died. She didn't give them anything.
By the way has anyone noticed that she acts like she is too good to shake supporters hands.

Sarah Palin comes from the "woods" and has no idea how the rest of American working class make it ,everyday living,working,kids,single parenting,etc is hebrew to her.She knows what "moos" eats and when to hunt them.
Mrs Michelle Obama has a law degree from Harward law school and she attended Princton as well she did it on her own without "rich daddY". I have so much respect for Michelle Obama. She will make a fine first lady to this country and we can be proud of our President Senator Obama and his first lady Michelle Obama! Please don't be fooled by Mc Cain's and Palin's dirty politics. It is disgraceful.

as a US Senator brought on the carpet by the Senate for his dealings with the Keating5.
They are relying completely on the ignorance of their supporters and feeding those supports
lie on top of lie on top of lie. Not only that, but they are spewing hate and violence. If their supporters represent the a huge part of population than we as a country deserve to go down. Our beautiful country is coming close to just a foot note in history as a failed experiment in societies.
When Cindy McCain finally opened her mouth, we heard nothing but slander and hate. Go home
Cindy and relax. Hopefully you will not lose all your wealth in the stock market. If you do lose everything then you can join the poor unfortunate masses. Then I may wish to hear from you.

She lacks any coloring, is drawn, stiff, her eyes dart around, and then she has this fragile physique. I would love to be able to get a close look at her and just a couple of minutes to really observe her. My students used to laugh, as I would be able to speak to a patient, observe them for a few minutes, see how they answered questions, and then be able to tell them what they would find on their lab work. It always stunned them.

still think she looks like she is on drugs...the skin, her thinness, the lack
of expression at times, all seem like someone who getting everything they
need from narcotics. On the other hand, maybe she is bulemic or anorexic,
which could be helped along by a nice drug cocktail.

Alaska Abuse of Power report. McCain's judgment is in serious question because he chose
a VP running mate under investigation then tried to suppress that investigation because he
didn't vet her at all. My friends, McCain is for himself and only for himself. Sarah is for herself and
only for herself. He thought that choosing a corrupt government official would work for him and
his agenda. That is right. She will do anything and I mean anything to climb the political ladder.
Cindy McCain could easily just dump the old fart. It would serve him right after what he did to his
first wife. He needs mental care after all those years as a POW. He most certainly doesn't deserve the presidency of the USA.

the bible that says something to the effect, "Thee who are without sin cast the first stone" The bible
was talking about the stoning of a woman who had committed adultery. What happened to the man
who did the same? I remember. Those Bible folk have a double standard.
McCain has thrown mud and he should expect to get mud slammed slap in the his face for his transgressions.
I can see why McCain fought so hard for deregulation of the markets. He was protecting his wifey pooh's interests so he could go home at night and live good. What a complete sham he is.

A drug addict (possibly recovering), she suffered a stroke from which she recovered, but strokes (bleeding in the brain) inevitably damage intellect. This is a geriatric disease. She had it 30 or 40 years too early. Her intellectual deficiencies may be the reason McCain goes mad every time things are not exactly to his specifications. His lucky charms suggest a magical disorder. He is compulsive and has severe anger management problems. His frequent outbursts of cursing other senators (especially Republicans) and his wive, indicate an incurable naval captain syndrome. He is long retired on full disability (which means a total incapacity to work at any gainful employment). He is healthy enough to ride horses and jetski with foreign politicians. He has defrauded the government of millions, while brain-damaged Iraq veterans are often unable to get a full disability rating even though they cannot even take care of their own personal needs. He is a disgrace to all wounded veterans..

The Republicans are complaining about Obamas “TIES” with a person who had a shady past who was brought to justice.
The Democrats (who haven’t even brought up this issue with Cindy McCain & Charles Keating JR — YET), will showcase this issue on McCains “TIES” with a person who had a shad past who was brought to justice.
It’s not about Racism, it’s not about Negativity.
The issue is about Historical Ties during a specified period of time.
People are not understanding that we cannot change the past. However, we need to look towards what can we CHANGE TODAY, to prepare for a better tomorrow.
The PROBLEM: How to get people to TRUST again, & NOT take advantage of situations for their own personal gain. At the end of the day, this issue with Cindy McCain & her connection with Keating was about MONEY. Plain & simple. A relationship that was in her best interests at a specified period of time. Not whether it was bad or good, but, how much MONEY for their own self interest.

This is extremely dangerous for the country when you have a bunch of crooks leading it. Look at the Bush administration, they did the same and our grandchildren are going to pay for it. With the McCain/Palin ticket who is going to pay for their mistakes?

No comparison at all.
All we see from John McCain is greed, for money, for power, and I have to wonder if it isn't Cindy's greed that drives this. She found a likely prospect to marry, bought him into the Senate, then she wants to be First Lady.
Today Mr McCain slipped up and acted like a decent man; I keep wondering who's in there and how can he be played into the stupid things he does. If Keating was about Cindy pulling down more millions, what is the fascist rally business? Mrs Palin loves playing Pinochet, but she was picked for being the mean high school popular girl. Troopergate underscores her childish viciousness. Did Cindy understand her and push that choice? Few men understand the really vast ability of some women to bully with words but Mrs McCain would understand it. And why dirty her own hands with it before she became The First Lady?
One just wonders about things. Cindy wouldn't be the first ambitious woman who picked out a husband to get her there. Back in the day, that was the only option for women.

Also, people will probably not believe it anyway. What is more interesting is the people that are behind the seens of McCains campaign. Almost all of the Lobbyist who are running his campaign have ties to Russia, China, Iran and Dubai and some of those countries most shadiest characters. It makes me wonder why these people left positions where they were making muli-millions of dollars to work for McCain. Are they working to get McCain into office for an alternative purspose?

he will do anything to get himself into the whitehouse. like obama said in a nice way, McCain is erratic.
all one really has to do is look into his eyes and realize quite clearly that is not connected to what he is saying. his mind is running a mile a minute and he has no idea of what he speaks.
anyone who gets a divorce after his wife has a bad accident that compromised he looks a bit, is a rotten human being. then he marries a rich, barbie doll, with about as much substance as her now husband.

Keating and his cronies plus McCain and Cindy need to be held accountable... Fact (Cindy McCain by more then a passing association and that other one... John do you have more then a passing relationship with your wife?) .... MY FRIENDS MY FRIENDS
If you want my vote stop the negative Ad’s, the lies and misrepresentation of association.
Show me the results of the negative aspects of any relationship and association and demonstrate it in a way that is fair and you may get my VOTE!
Be very careful that in doing so you do not open doors to your life that can be distorted as you and your team ahve done to Obama.
State the facts and only the facts and do not distort them, offer sound bites, and spin them with false associations that the only proof is that you want it to be something that benefits you. Lets show what honorable men and women do, be honest with a pride of self and country that is the lighthouse for all in the world.
If you call this behavior of late the kind of a leader of the free world and democracy I will tell you, you are loosing my vote.
Please act like adults that have earned the respect of those around you and stop acting like your entitled to my respect just because your a veteran and POW. For your service you earned all the respect I have for the patriotic efforts but do not expect em to close my eyes to your bad behavior of late.

While it is unfortunate that McCain was held for as long as he was as a POW he should stop using that experience to gain sympathy. I myself am more sympathetic towards all those whose names are written on the Viet Nam Wall in DC, all of those who returned and left to the streets, homeless, jobless, and sick; all of those children seeded by rapists, all of that 'collateral damage' there, on and on and on. All of the above been protested against by Ayers and so very many others, without the loss of life.

We have entered another Bailout crisis and McCain had his hand in the cookie jar yet again. This time he did the smart way. He did in only a way a Maverick can, he did it in style.
McCain saw first hand the economic crisis from the Lincoln Savings and Loan Scandel. He saw the housing market collapse and the economy crumble. And when he sat in front and center of the Senate Ethics Committee hearing he was stoic and poised. I saw the Maverick.
McCain tried his darndest to protected the Charles Keating from the Government, but his mission failed, his cover was blown and his mission failed. Keating stole both investors and Lincoln Savings and Loan depositors money and was eventually convicted. No more campaign money for McCain and no more free trips for his family. McCain was devestated. His only comfort was the newly deposited Multi-Millions dollars his wife just deposited thanks to a less than $400,000 investmentment.
McCain saw how upset Taxpayers were and how this almost 3 Billion Dollar Bailout left his country in turmoil and chaios. But he thought "Screw the Taxpayers", if any economics trickles down to them, they ought to be happy with the scrapes. But he did not want to have to go through a Senate Hearing again, he thought "I am the Maverick". The taxpayer will deal with anything the Maverick throws at them.
So McCain and Phil Gramm worked together to put laws into place that would prove to be heroic. Phil Gramm pushed his Commodities Bill into Law and McCain chipped away at laws and policies that would prove to be a legal hinderence. It was easy to get other Senetors on board, everybody know Congressional Members can dictate but can't read. And for those who did read, they someone pay bribe them and so the lobbyists continued to unload a boat load of money in their accounts.
It was hard work, but McCain, Phil and all of self proclaimed dyslexic Congressional Members who have been in office since the late 1980's accomplished their goal.
We are in yet another Bailout. All of those Congressinal Members who have been around since the late 1980's don't understand what happened. They just know they have been bribed sorry paid an awful lot over the years buy people we call by lobbyist.
Thank you McCain, you are the Maverick behind the deregulation of our financial institutions. Thank you Congress for not know how to read or comprehending the housing issues during the House Financial Services Committee hearing, Sept 10, 2003. It never dawned on them to look into anything, after all the money was flowing like water. Thank you Cindy McCain for letting taxpayers know "I Know How To Get Paid."
Now Cindy McCain and John McCain sit back and enjoy a Bud's Light. I wish I could pay for it but I just lost all my money in the Stock Market and I have to help Bailout the all of these business. But hey if they send me another "Economic Stimulus Check", instead of paying down debt, I could buy a 6 Pack of Bud Light and we can sit outside and stair at the stairs. Sorry I had to give up cable and I won't be renting movies for a long time.
PS: Could I sell Tickets, I need the money to send my kids to college and Mrs. McCain can I have the name of your Investment Broker, I can part with $2.00 and my dad can part with $2.00, we want to play to win.

I myself have found myself am mesmerised by her beauty, as McCain stumbles thru those pathetic,
empty, speeche's he gives at those ralley's filled with bigot's and drones.
Let's also keep perspective on the fact that McCain is whoring to the neocon's and banking

on his military service as an indication of how much he loves America and Americans when he "not
so silently" stood by while Keating and his friends financially "raped " the very people he claims to love,
and then marries an elitist and then turns a "not so blind eye" to her lucrative financial involvement with the same parasite. He says he wants to save this country from it's financial crisis. Does he plan to do it
by surrounding himself with the very people who helped create it. I think so. He is a liar and a coward!!

No wonder McCain said Sarah needed clothes when confronted with her $150,000 clothing shopping spree. While we all agree that Sarah needed clothes, but no designer clothers. He is so out of touch with the average person. He was bought and paid for by Cindy McCain after he met her in a bar while his wife was suffering from an accident.
I absolutely have no respect for this man.
