But McCain told next door Michigan that "your jobs are never coming back".

Sounds like Pork-Barrel Palin in not reading the memos.

Southeastern Ohio rivals the worst area of West Virginia as an irremedially economically depressed region. Palin's to promise renewal of the reason is like a promise of cultural and economic re-birth of Cleveland or Detroit.

Don't vote for more of Republicans doing away with jobs in this country, and your state OHIO. Don't let Republicans divide us Dems with more promises and no-shows after the elections are done. They will support more of the same Bush policies. You will not benefit. Look at the last eight years. Need I say more?

We, "true Americans," need to ask ourselves this:
Do we really want to go ahead and toss all of our American values aside and put a man in the White House who the Muslims hail as "their messiah?"

http://www.youtube.com/watch...

Here is another site that has done its homework on Obama.
http://www.theobamafile.com/

Obama is not answering my questions. Is he really the Muslim messiah?

Is Obama being honest about the way he is really going to change America if he becomes president?

Oh, and I have had it with the Obama drones and Rabid ACORN squirrels!

I would like one Obama supporter to explain the consequences of Obama's well documented and planned tax increases to our economy which is in the midst of an economic meltdown?

I understand his platform, I just want to hear from one person who has an intelligent answer about the consequences to our economy.

Crowd protests Palin outside state Capitol

The Associated Press

Published: October 12th, 2008 12:15 AM

JUNEAU -- People protesting the policies of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin rallied in the pouring rain outside the state Capitol

They carried signs with sayings like "Real women are not lipstick wearing pit bulls."

Unlike other pro- or anti-Palin rallies that have been held around the state, the Saturday morning event did not draw a counter protest.

Former state public health director Peter Nakamura told the crowd that Palin has done little to insure quality health care for Alaskans.

Paula Terrel, a commercial fisherman, described Palin's record protecting fisheries as "dismal" and Tony Strong, an attorney and Tlingit Indian, said Palin was no friend to Alaska Natives.

How are Repulicans "doing away with jobs"? We're the party of capitalism and free enterprise, why would we want to do away with jobs? That's nonsense.

I've heard Obama say he wants to tax companies that send jobs overseas. Un, hey Barack have you ever heard of comparitive advantage? His policy to tax companies is totally ridiculous.

First of all, we're in a global economy and so all that will do is give an advantage to foreign competitors.

Second of all, what can he do about the Chinese being willing to work for fifty cents and hour with no benefits or worker rights?

Jobs are going overseas due to low labor costs and his answer is to increase taxes on US companies? All that will accomplish is that companies will flee the USA. Good job Barack!

They probably aren't coming back. The Chinese are going through a revolution of becoming the world's manufacturer and they have 3 BILLION mouths to feed.

What is boy genius going to do about that? Shut down Wal Mart? I don't think so.

The choice is between the Americanism of John McCain and Sarah Palin or the euro-socialism of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

Obama says he's only raising taxes on people making over nearly $200,000per year. He plans to lower taxes for those making under $200.000per year.

The consequences? How about the BENEFITS! Clinton raised taxes, yet still provided this country with the greatest economic boom. How is it that Bill Clinton did everything that George Bush doesn't, and yet had the greatest economic expansion in the history of this country? How did Bill Clinton manage all he did? You Republicans are jealous of Clinton, that's all. He can do circles around any one of you. He will help Obama, if Obama asks for his help and advice. We will rebuild the lives of people that have suffered in this country. People will stand up to all that is wrong with the Bush Ad, and his buddy, McCain.

With Governor Sarah Palin's 86% approval rating the "crowd of a-holes like you" was small.

Blow-Hards like you should go get all the Happy Meals you can; you are going to need them.
November is getting closer and there isn't shit blow-hards like you can do about that either!
wink wink
Is the above the best response you have? News for you: You lose if John McCain wins and You lose if Barack Obama wins...
Obama's plan to fund his One Trillion Dollars in Trinket Promises and new spending is based on the high point of the President GW Bush economy...not the low point bought about by lowlifes like you who made democRats a congressional majority.
For nearly two years the democRat congressional majority blocked all measures to stop the price of gasoline, food, etc. from skyrocketing.
The democRat Party sent OPEC a message that the USA is beholden to them. Not a message that the USA will go after its own oil which would have helped stopped the price escalation. Instead OPEC laughed at the stupid Americans. They assume this whole country consists of spoon-fed gutless wonders just like you...too dumb to get out of the way of a moving train.
When President GW Bush lifted the ban on offshore drilling the price of oil began coming down...And now that the country is bankrupt supply and demand is reducing the price of oil. Of course oil will go back up and when it does the same economic downfall will result if the USA is not prepared.
Barack Obama and the democRat Party are not the ones who will focus on energy independence. They’ll waste energy and spend millions on politically correct gizmos and gadgets that will not solve anything for the next 50 years or more. In the meantime, oil is the life blood of this country. If you suddenly take away all oil related products surrounding you, you would be sitting naked on a pile of dirt.
Obama wants to tax business and industry so he can claim to give peons a tax cut. In this current economy business and industry cannot afford any tax increase. Any business and industry tax increase will be placed on the backs of peon consumers by increasing the costs of goods and services. And of course don’t forget laying off workers, investing nothing or closing its doors…Why bother with more Obama big government headaches and regulations when running a business is headache enough? So take a look at the future economics surrounding airlines, auto industry, etc. It says down goes Obama and up comes despair and breadlines...enjoy.

Capitalism and free enterprise. That's a quiet little joke for "taking care of corporate America and their CEO's." All that cheap Chinese labor is for stuffing the bank accounts of CEO's and execs. Everything is made in China, and things should cost well below what they were when things were made here in America. However, when the item is shipped back, it costs the same as before. NIKE, for instance. They should cost about $20.00 a pair, with all the labor costs. Why do they still cost the same and more, as before they were made in China? Answer: All the extra profits went into the bank accounts of the CEO's for their golden parachutes. All the companies are interested in the same thing----more profits for themselves and their CEO's. Greed, greed, greed. It's all about greed.

I agree. Ask JohnLa to post the goals of the Alaskan Independence Party.
"Keep up the good work," Sarah Palin told members of the Alaskan Independence Party in a videotaped speech to their convention six months ago in Fairbanks. She wished the party luck on what she called its "inspiring convention."
The Alaskan Independence Party, founded in 1978, initially promoted "the Alaskan independence movement." But now, according to its website, "its primary goal is merely a vote on secession."
I wonder what JohnLa thinks of Palin speaking to, and her husband being a member of group that wants to secede from the U.S.
At the same time she has no trouble taking huge earmarks from the U.S. for wasteful projects. They want to secede, give back anything that was paid for with Federal funds.
But I ramble. The only way the McCain sheep like JohnLa would have a problem with the situation above, is if a Dem was the subject of those facts, and not Sarah Palin.
Since the ersatz messiah Barack Obama has a bone to pick with The United States Constitution and you used the year 1978 to validate your propaganda...
Well Sherman, set the Way-Back Machine to around 1858.
Didn't you disgruntled democRat Party turds secede prior to the Civil War? I think so. So while we're at it...Perhaps you secession scumbags can apologize for your legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, KKK, lynching, etc. You hypocrite puckin morons.

The federal budget is $3 trillion. Obama's plans will cost an additional $850 billion.

Do you think you can 'tax the rich' enough to cover that spending?
