Wright or Keating 5 come into this campaign, and their respective candidate can count me out.

"I recall a fax sent out the Friday before the 2000 vote by a Democratic attorney in Maine revealing Bush's DUI from a generation earlier. It cost Bush almost the entire evangelical vote . . . about 5 million "

LOL! I'll take an ounce of whatever it is you're smoking, rubbing on your belly, or whatever!

What a surprise that the Tennessee Republican Party - little more than a racketeering operation for racist trash - is at the forefront of this push.

Once upon a time the TNGOP had some semblance of decency. We still have relatively moral people like Lamar Alexander that represent the TNGOP. But in the last few years the scumbags from Williamson County (home of Marsha Blackburn) and their vehement racist co-districters in suburban Memphis have taken over the party. The old, moderately conservative East Tennessee Republican Party of Howard Baker has given way to something hideous. Remember, it was the TNGOP that claimed Obama was wearing his "native Muslim garb" in the Kenya photo.

DLS: "I believe that if Obama could just start saying "Bush economy, Republican economy" he could clinch the election. All McCain can do is say "Watch your wallets and your liberties" and many would laugh in his face or just stare at someone saying that now."

Wow. I agree with DLS. I'm gonna have to note this on my calendar.

Sil, Rowr. Get em, girl. I would add especially, and have often, a note to young people. The "borrow and spend" Republican policies are trashing your future prosperity. Old farts like me will exit the scene without paying down a dime of the $11 trillion debt. It's all yours. Want us to run you up some more? The Republicans will be glad to borrow and spend you into way more and they'll pocket it for you. Of course when the CEOs and lobbyists have bought all the yachts and multiple houses they want, maybe they'll let a trifle trickle down to you. Good luck.

And for those with kids, or who plan to have some, congratulations. The GOP has handed every new American a $31,000 BIRTH TAX, and every taxpayer owes $234 per MONTH interest on that debt, without paying down a bit of principal. You can make your checks out to Communist China.

"...will attain power but have part of the country passionately against him from day one and take power in yet another highly polarized, high personal political climate."

I'm beginning to believe that this is going to be the picture regardless of who becomes our next president. More likely with McCain, but I don't think Obama will be getting much love from the Repubs if/when he takes office.

You republicans better think of something besides party loyalties and the usual schtick this time around.

If McCain gets in, the world will INSTANTLY lose confidence in our nation's ability to recover its economy. And the Great Depression will look like a small blip in comparison. Know all those cocaine, caviar and prostitute parties you guys have when you're not at church pretending to be holy? Yeah, those will be distant memories. Grab a plow and a mule. You're going to need one.

You, me, all of us need Obama to win more than we need our egos, gloating, head-games, "wins" and "losses". McCain is a myopic, erratic cowboy. You may not think so, but that's how the rest of the world sees him. And we need the rest of the world right about now to have confidence in us. B-A-D-L-Y.

Give the dems four years to plead with the world, get our economy back on track so you can come back, blame the whole mess on us and claim victory and get the old GOP gravy-train back up and running full-tilt. You know, the usual.

Don't cut off your noses to spite your faces. Back up and look at the big picture. The REALLY BIG picture when you're considering promoting McCain/Palin...no matter what the CO$T.

fear and smear. That's all the GOP has to offer us at this critical time. To quote DLS, "disgraceful"

DLS said: "...and low-life comments on lefty talk radio."

I have heard some people actually live in THAT magical neighborhood where one can pick up lefty talk radio. . . just to the left of Berkeley, across the freeway.

Never managed it myself. I suppose it is like that Magical Oriental Shop downtown that disappears when one goes back to find it.

October is the month for surprises, no?

I recall a fax sent out the Friday before the 2000 vote by a Democratic attorney in Maine revealing Bush's DUI from a generation earlier. It cost Bush almost the entire evangelical vote . . . about 5 million . . . and made Gore competitive for the first time.

So hey . . . it is an American tradition!

(One can only imagine the fax Silhouette has been keeping in reserve for this moment! :)

We know you're the GOP mole here Chris. So are you saying you know something we don't know? ; )

What else does McCain have? Honestly. He's always been weak, plodding, a mere "survivor," the "default candidate" by anyone spooked by lib-Dem threats to America! [tm]. And while far from all of us are suffering currently, there are many desperate people in this economy (who were that way before the current mortgage-based crisis on Wall Street this week) who aren't going to care about propriety, constitutional federalism, market versus command economy or interventionism -- they don't care about what to them is inane BS when they welcome assistance with their plights NOW.

I believe that if Obama could just start saying "Bush economy, Republican economy" he could clinch the election. All McCain can do is say "Watch your wallets and your liberties" and many would laugh in his face or just stare at someone saying that now.

As to the Biden-Palin debate, I welcome the entertainment. Despite her godawful conflicts of interest, I doubt Ifill is going to mistreat Palin -- that will be left to the rest of the media and the frequently _vicious_ and low-life comments on lefty talk radio.

Wright eh? You know what else is next...

They'll do it in a pinch. Mark my words. And "pinch" is going to describe what they'll be in just about 5 minutes into the Biden/Palin debate.

Just what a failed campaign, a failed and flailing McCain needs to salvage his election. Not debate the issues, not provide solutions to our nation's problems (read crisis), not discuss plans, vision and ideas for his presidency (should he miraculously win). No, none of that, but something our country really needs: More sleaze, more lies, more mud, more slime.

Re: Republicans Urging McCain To Use Reverend Wright Issue ASAP

Not just Wright (Resko, too), but ACORN -- disgraceful!

Of course, yes, "Keating Five" comes back at McCain as well as naming lobbyists on McCain's campaign team this year, and so on.

Look at the puppet! Look at the puppet!

Pay no attention to the failed policies that I endorse or the comically inept VP candidate that I chose or the lack of personal control that I exhibit.

Two words: "Keating Five"

McCain has his own poor choices in relations in his past. If he's going to try guilt by association against Obama, he ought to be ready for his ties for the LAST big financial disaster to strike the USA to be brought up as well. He's been spared this so far, but if he starts to bring Wright, Rezko, and Ayers into the campaign, I really hope Obama hits him hard on his role as one of the Keating Five.
