Oh my God, John McCain is at a camapaign event in Jacksonville.
He is lying through his yellow-stained teeth... Now, he's propping up Free-Trade to Columbia? What the fuck? AND then he says WallStreet needs regualtion that RepubliCONS don't support. AND he says that Obama is attacking Gov. Palin. Everything that is coming out of McCain's mouth are lies. Why the Fuck isn't Obama on t.v. first today anyway? McCain looks like he's on top of the issues, even though he doesn't know what he's talking about, he's out there first. What in the world. My God the lies that are coming out of this man is disgusting.

1. The mouth-breathers are cheering.
Notice they won't show you how big the crowd is.

13. Personally, I'm surprised McCan't is up... AND yes, I hate them showing McCain this
early in the AM and lying about everything he's saying.. Seriously, are these people that stupid to cheer for Free-Trade with Columbia? Free-Trade has given us such great things like the outsourcing of every damn job..

I'm NOT panicing.. JUST pissed off that he's out there first, lying like a dog, and smearing and distorting all the issues.. Democrats have run congress for 2 years.. look at the mess they've created... Blaming Obama for pork, when he's running with the Queen of Pork... Telling people that Obama is attacking Palin, when Obama barely even admits she's on the ticket. He's such a slimeball.. and then he smiles in a really creepy, strange "I'm a pedophile" way.

27. That word "panic" is rather poignant today, eh?
Still, I wouldn't characterize as "panic" a simple desire that our candidate be afforded the opportunity to get out in front of the market storm.

An economic meltdown could potentially change everything.

3. New tactic. Force the lie that Obama is directly attacking Palin.
Clearly Rovian.

5. I've been watching MSNBC...
...and the first story was about McCain changing the electoral map and gaining on Obama.

The second story, was about McCain's latest speech, which they showed a full ten minutes.

Now, they're talking about how McCain is beating Obama in the polls by 11 points, and why
McCain is winning over white women.

Is Barack Obama still running for President? Is he still campaigning?

14. I noticed the same thing about the media.
They are promoting McCain so much. They show him speaking at every venue. They hardly ever show Obama. They are setting us up for failure and I am afraid it is going to work again.

15. I'm sure he will sound better than McSame, but McSame is up and hitting the ground first
Well, at least that's the way the media make it appear.

8. I think he must be travelling with a "screaming section:.. The
crowd sitting behind him kept looking to their left everytime the "crowd" started screaming...(at the official applause lines)

22. I wonder if he pays some cheerleaders to run around with him to clap and cheer
and get the audience pumped up.. I noticed at the intro to Palin, they had cheerleaders come out and pom, pom up the crowd.. I thought it may have been because of the connection of Palin to cheerleaders.. But was she actually a cheerleader? Didn't she play basketball? So, perhaps that's their typical MO... to try and pump some life into people in the crowd.... Also, I think he's been on a normal regimin of amphetamines.. He's talking so fast and with such force.. I beleive they are pumping the man full of speed.

9. Um, John, YOU don't support regulation!
You, John Sydney McCain III, voted to repeal the Glass Steagall Act, which your economic "guru", Phil Gramm, sponsored, and which set the stage for the financial meltdown we're witnessing today, so STFU!

10. Obama's doing a morning rally in Colorado today (that's mountain time).
He'll be doing a larger event in the afternoon.

Miss Piggy will be campaigning in the state also, so it will be interesting to compare coverage.

11. I think McCain's entire election platform now consists of "Don't be mean to Sarah!"
with maybe a little dash of "Maverick!"

12. Better to have Obama on last, actually, as long as it's time for the prime time talkers
like Olbermann.

I think you should take a nice walk...

19. Perhaps, everything about McCain just pisses me off.
He was never an option for me, but he didn't seem as reprehensible as many RepubliCONS.. when he hired Rove minions and went so negative, his image makes me want to puke.

28. the media likes to lie and distort. they will take a pitiful crew of hundreds or several thousand
using close shots and crowd mics and pretend its impressive.
they also routinely use close shots and selected audio to avoid showing huge demonstrations when it doesnt suit them.

anyone can see that there is no balance between the crowds the democrats have been bringing in and the small groups the republicans have had. somehow its in the msm's interest to pretend there is little difference.

my eyes tell me the election is not close. my brain compares the reported polling numbers and it doesnt add up.

20. Oh, I stopped watching ABC a long time ago, but I know many people like my
mom still watches it before she heads off to work. I'm watching MSNBC. In the AM, they are the worst propaganda fluff shilling for pugs.. They only get better at 8pm.

21. Calm down
Obama will be on at 11:00. It really doesn't matter whose rally starts first when speaking to a different group.

McCain's discussing the economy and pushing the export meme again. Remember that's cigarettes. Not an area he wants to get specific about.

McCain has nothing to say that isn't a lie. You knew that when you listened in :) So don't be upset about it. The longer he lies, the worse it is for him when the truth hits home.

W is supposed to talk about the financial situation. (He is SOOOOOO irrelevant now.)

This is good.
