Presidential Election Political Smackdown FFA

I'm not so sure McCain stepped up on his own accord. This has been happening for a while, even at McCain's own speeches from what I've seen in the news and online, and the story gained real traction in the media several days ago, but it wasn't until yesterday that McCain stepped up. I agree that it's nice to see and is more like the old McCain, but the way events unfolded I wonder if he would have allowed it to continue if the media hadn't run with it. I am still waiting to see if Palin tempers her speeches. Insults and innuendo and are pretty much all she has from what I've seen.

Kudos to David Gergen for helping this story get legs. He was on several shows over the last few days bringing this up.

Something I'm wondering is if the Secret Service actually stepped in and told him to start defusing this kind of thing, worrying for their own safety.

In other news, Palin booed at a hockey game. They turn up the music to drown out the boos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7TgDanmWkg

Well, at least the republicans have clearly delineated the playing field.

If Obama has to answer for what every nutjob in the democratic party in Chicago did back in the 1960s, then we can clearly hold McCain responsible for all the people today in his crowd calling for assassinating Obama. So, McCain and the republican party clearly supports domestic terrorism.

I've had actual work to do for a while and haven't been able to check this out. I'm back for a day and thought I'd do a quick hit and run.

Here is a partial list of stuff I have been compiling. Suffice it to say that for the most part, any one of these issues would preclude me from voting for a candidate unless I thought his opponent was Hitler reincarnated. Again, this is a partial list.

Obama and Acorn back to 1992

Check this out and then click on the video at the Acorn at the bottom and the acorn in the middle.

OK, the interviewer here asked people in Harlem if they would vote for Obama or McCain. The interviewer reversed the two mens profiles. That is, he presented Obama as pro-life, "against" stem-cell research, etc. and even listed Sara Palin as Obama's running mate. He then gave McCain Obamas profile.

The results are hilarious! Again, it goes to prove that in a democracy you get the government you deserve.

Factcheck not so factual: A lot of people are using factcheck.org only to find out that it is an Annenberg organization.

And who is Annenberg?:

It is the organization Ayers and Obama worked together on regarding the now infamous $50mm.

Just thought I'd throw this out there, since it's meaningful to me. Christopher .

Some context, he's argued against the media for berating McCain over owning too many homes, and he's argued in the past that the media has been to quick to jump on Palin. In this article, he also points out that he thought Clinton should not have been elected due to character flaws. Also, he considers himself a single issue voter, where his issue is the war on terror (for it, not against it like so many peace-niks).

Oh, and it actual written text, rather than a YouTube video!
