Once again, McCain and the Republican Party have no real issues and so they are trying to attack Obama any way they can. McCain is spreading half truths and perpetuating these stories in order to make himself look good. There is no association with Obama and Fannie Mae’s former CEO other than a 5 minute conversation. Obama has tried to clear this up but McCain keeps promoting half truths. Despite McCain’s pledge to run a clean campaign he can’t do it. He can’t stick to his word. And McCain says alleged association such as these are what are wrong with Washington. But it took him 26 years to figure it out! McCain had a chance to fix this and he didn’t. If McCain’s arguments or stance on issues are one of “change” and fixing things in Washington – again, why has it taken 26 years? And McCain was part of the deregulation of these very industries which has lead to this mess. And then McCain claimed the economy was strong when it crashed! He tried quickly to correct himself but his real response – the unrehearsed response was out there. I hope everyone was listening. McCain is out of touch. McCain doesn’t realize the impact of Wall Street on all of us. All of the people who aren’t millionaires, who don’t own 8 homes, who are worried about gas prices and the economy will be impacted by this crash. Regardless of whatever decision the government comes to regarding this Wall Street crash it will impact us. And McCain doesn’t know it. But let’s get back to the fundraising topic and the finance reform bill that McCain helped pass (McCain-Fiegngold). McCain is now trying to find and work every loophole in that very bill he helped draft so he can maneuver the maximum contribution legally possible. I find it very concerning that McCain is finding and using all the legal loopholes he can find. This maneuvering is not within the spirit of the law. The very law that McCain helped to write, sponsor and pass now stands in his way. But now that the law no longer suits McCain, he has to do whatever he can. So now we know McCain wants rules but when they don’t work for him then he’ll ignore them or find the loophole.

It makes me sick thinking that all these liberals think that they are above everyone else. They think conservatives have a closed mind but they are even worse. They can say whatever they want and it is okay but if we disagree with them, we are intolerant but if they disagree with what we say it is okay. They are really the the ones that are intolerant of anything or anyone we believe in.

Kristopher Irizarry-Hoeksema, thank you for your service to our country, and your positive comment. I find it uneducated, for indiv to always blame a president, instead of blaming our senators and congress for not making progress. I believe it is largely due to earmarks, which the general public doesn\’t even understand. When a child strays from family values, it isn\’t always the parents fault–genetics, and associations are involved, as many other causes. O Bama has never even owned a business, needs a telepromptor, and when we are attacked, there won\’t be a telepromtor available. His wife stated that she didn\’t like America, until he was able to run for President. For all of the America haters–like their former pastor, who is having a MANSION built here, WHY DON\’T YOU LEAVE?

Many bitter people on this blog that seem to resort to name calling. Not attractive. I guesss, it’s the McCain/Palin way, to put people down. I THANK those at this event who gave mega bucks! Thank you, thank you, thank you. We need Obama! My son, by lucky chance, was invited to this event by a friend. I look forward to get his call tomorrow for updates on the event. He’s not wealthy, but his friend is. I donated ten bucks the day after Palin made her announcement. So, I’ve very thankful that those with more funds are willing to give. Thank you! Obama 08′

Ultimate diva meets other diva - Streisand and Obama, a match made in Heaven. I thought the democratic party was supposed to be “for the people” but in this case they’re only for the elitist. $28,000 a person is obscene when that money could go to help those in the hurricane ravaged areas. Obama will go to any lengths to try to buy this presidency won’t he? Where does Streisand get her facts that the Hillary supporters are behind Obama? On the blogs I’ve visited the majority of Hillary supporters have gotten behind McCain and many have even changed their party because of the horrible way she was treated. I, for one, can’t wait to see Barry’s face and the faces of those Hollywood morons when McCain becomes the next president. Go McCain-Palin!!! You’ve got more class in your little finger than these two have combined.

Barbra Streisand has donated and raised millions of dollars to benefit and better the United States. What have you name calling, hateful people done to contribute to this country.

Good Grief. Why is it such a huge crime against nature for an American citizen, who happens to be an extraordinary artist, to decide to lend her voice and her support to a presidential candidate? I just don’t get why folks so love to jump on that “Let’s burn Barbra at the stake” bandwagon when she opens her mouth and voices her opinion about ANYTHING. If more intelligent people spoke up and spoke out maybe we would be a better nation. Smells like misogyny, anti-semitism and worse, just plain narrow mindedness to me.

These elitist snobbish celebrities who think they are so clever, think they know better what’s best for us than we do, using the wealth we gave them by watching their movies, and buying their sponsor’s products. I don’t want these celebrities to buy the Presidency. The people of the United States should chose the President. Each citizen’s vote should be equal, not canceled out, or overshadowed by some spoiled celebrity. Look at the list of lame celebrities who are trying to get Obama in the white house …
Madonna, Ludacris, the idiots from the View, Rosie, Pamela Anderson, Oprah, Lohan, has been chevy chase, Susan Sarandon … These celebrities are out of touch with us Americans. They are just part of an
“in crowd clique” who think they are at liberty to use disgusting language, and make nasty attacks, with impunity. They don’t know the issues, or care, for they are insulated by their wealth, and believe they are above reproach. We, the common people are the ones who gave them their celebrity and wealth … and, we the common people are the ones who can take it back. No Wright, no Farrakhan, no Rezko, no Ayers, no Pfleger, no mean Michelle, and, NOBAMA !
