Do you get the feeling the media is trying to give the appearance presidential campaign is closer than it is?

when in reality on of the 2 major candidates has no chance of winning at all due to the atmosphere in the country currently?





I will eat my hat if this election is closer than 54% to 46% in the national voting.Do you get the feeling the media is trying to give the appearance presidential campaign is closer than it is?
i agree that Obama is gonna win.but the media first and formost is a business.close races sell newspapers.excitment sells newspapers.you get what i mean........Do you get the feeling the media is trying to give the appearance presidential campaign is closer than it is?
I think your saying McCain doesn't have a chance. Remember the Dems are great at losing elections that should be a given. Any normal non radical candidate would have no problem beating the Repubicans but the Dems are putting forth a radical racist black seperatist with no significant accomplishments and a lot of controversial connections and events. It will be close. Over half the country says Obama has no experience. Half the country does't believe Obama.
What ';atmosphere'; are you talking about? The media are merely quoting various independent polls that come out on a daily basis. Admittedly, a lot of the media are biased, and they can pick and choose which polls to quote, but everyone is free to look up the polling data himself on the Internet. The media have a lot less influence over people than they used to.
it is there job to drag this out as long as they can


hey its beter then talking about some dead kid or what is the newest thing not to eat is





i love to see the ticker like on cnn when they run out of stuff and need to make something up


yesterday i seen one man attacked by bear defends self, local man grows own vegitibles, man shoots lawn mower after it wouldn't start(lol),


it was yesterday and i laughed my butt off





but yea the election will be close





goodluck
People are very upset about the economy and that favors the Democrats but there is still a lot of racism in this country. I don't think that the media is involved in any manipulation. I think the numbers are as close as the polls represent.
I think so, but I don't mind, closer races are more interesting.
I agree, furthermore Obama is the winner
ddddddddddd
Nope!

Working in Communications dept of a Political Campaign?

Hey I would like to work for the communications dept of a political campaign, dont knwo much about it,





what does it entail? Working in Communications dept of a Political Campaign?
If I were you, I would wait find someone working for the Obama or McCain campaigns. Then, after the election, see if you can get contact information for someone in the area you are looking to work in and schedule an informational interview.





At this point, you will not be able to do anything for the current election besides volunteering at the basic level. (my opinion)

Aren't we lucky McCain suspended his campaign and spearheaded the economic stability act?

I wouldn't have lost my 401K if he didn't.Aren't we lucky McCain suspended his campaign and spearheaded the economic stability act?
Yes, I mean where would we be without all of his admitted ';lack of knowledge on the issue'; and his ';sitting in a room quietly'; and then after the bill he supported got passed he said lets veto it! I mean I love the ';straight talk'; and dedication he has! Anyway, Im going to get billions of thumbs downs but I don't care! He himself said he has a lack of knowledge on the economy and he literally sat quietly in the gathering her requested? It was reported that at least at the end Obama asked questions and never FLIP FLOPPED on his support of the bill but the McCainanites will say otherwise!! VIVA IGNORANCE!!!Aren't we lucky McCain suspended his campaign and spearheaded the economic stability act?
Obama literally phoned in his answer to the crises. People complained that Bush spent some time reading a book to children when 9-11 attacks came and then they gave Obama a free pass for doing speeches while Congress was trying to get a bailout going. Bush literally had to call Obama back to do his job as head of the Democratic Party.
Yeah...geez imagine how bad it would be if he didnt!





Hope everyone in America is asking themselves this question.
Erratic and Unstable. Not Presidential.
I guess he felt he had to do something after saying the economy was stronge
You betcha!
That was nothing more than a political stunt. Are you for real?
Yeah....


lmfao!!!


he just sat there!
In the end, I don't think it really matters. :P





We're just reaping what we've sown and no government can fix that.
And where was Obama. . . . ? He was on his cellphone not even doing his job as senator.

Do you believe all Barack Hussein Obamas campaign money is coming from the US?

I think theres millions coming from overseas because i just aunt buying all these millions hes got rolling in i believe theres a foreign source somewhere what do you think?Do you believe all Barack Hussein Obamas campaign money is coming from the US?
If you go to the New York Times politics section you will find a total breakdown of all the candidate's financial contributions. Most of Obama's donations have come from people across the country. Some of them donate $25.00. Thereafter, they are asked for repeat donations. He has quite a cyberfinancial machine. I know, I've been donating to it for some time now. It's very well organized. I want this man running our country. He gets results. Hillary's campaign, meanwhile, languishes in the red.





Obama for America!Do you believe all Barack Hussein Obamas campaign money is coming from the US?
I think you are correct. How else does a jr. senator suddenly have access to millions upon millions of dollars? Oh, yeah. I forgot. He's got Oprah.





For all the people who will say it's from donations from people who believe in him, etc,etc: I find it obscene that people would empty their pockets for a politician, when they couldn't scare up anywhere near that amount for relief of WTC victims families or the Gulf Coast victims of Katrina.





If people supporting, giving money to, and voting for Obama are that gullible and shallow, then they deserve the creep.





Edit: To edthespa: Okay, enough. Why not call him by his full name? I can't count the number of times I have seen the name Hillary Rodham Clinton. So why not say Barack Hussein Obama? It's his damn NAME. Why does it offend you to hear it? It seems it affects Obama's supporters more than it affects anyone else.
I don't think that Obama is getting any more overseas support for his campaign than McCain or Clinton (or any previous candidate). There are always countries, companies and individuals outside the U.S. who have a vested interest in a given candidate winning, and they'll always try to find ways to influence the campaign, just as Americans try to influence other elections. So no, there's no conspiracy at play here.





Side note: you realize that by insisting on using Barack's middle name that (a) you're not scaring anyone off, we all get that his middle name is Hussein and (b) you're outing yourself as just another exceedingly biased right-winger?
There appears to be on the surface a glut of money coming


in from unknown sources, There aren't enough Nickel and


DImers out there to do this,,, Not in this economy. So Barack


is using his Lobbyist, Pacs And Special Interest, as he did


in SF when he called us Clingy and in love with out guns and


god. Time for the FEC to shut down the boys money,, unitll


the can prove where it is coming from.
That depends... Do you believe the Federal Elections Commission is doing their job in investigating all the candidates' finances?





I happen to trust the FEC and the job the do.





To answer your Q: It would be impossible for him to do so. Every penny has to be accountable to the FEC.
Of course it's coming from the US! He's getting tens of thousands of $100 donations. His donor base is nearly 2 million people. That's the key!





We don't need another baseless conspiracy theory. Why are people so afraid of how diverse and powerful the Obama base really is?








Obama 2008
Yes, I do believe it's coming from the US. As in United States, or in us the american public who are tired of the same old politics as usual.
of corse there is money comming from overseas.. duh





every president has gotten campaign funds from overseas. Including McCain and Clinton (both receive/received money from china)
He's gotten money from Muslim organizations, and from European Neo-Nazi's...





He is a truelly EVIL man!!!





And to J Aides: Why don't you go catch A.I.D.S you stuck up snob?
no! his billionnaire friend Auchi sends Obama millions in small amounts pretending to be plenty different people.


Others do that too ( like Hamas).
His pals in the Middle East are funding him. He's along lost cousins and half brother would really like to gain control of the USA from the inside out. GWB has been hard on them and McCain will be just as hard.
Doesn't matter where it comes from. Who does he owe what for the money is what should be worrisome
Well we kjnow as a fact that the Clintons get money from Dubai, China and Colombia
Yes, it's isn't like when Bush run and took money for the Middle east.

Which charity is Hillary donating the illegal campaign contributions too?

Hillary has said that she was going to donate the illegal campaign contributions. What charity is she donating it to? A charity is something like the Red Cross or a church. Anyone know this info?Which charity is Hillary donating the illegal campaign contributions too?
This one.





http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0鈥?/a>Which charity is Hillary donating the illegal campaign contributions too?
Al Quida? I dunno
Monica's Way-- a charity for used White House interns.
She can slide it over to the breck girl can't she?





If she had any brains she'd make out a check to John Edwards wife and get huge brown nose points for her charity... And gain a huge following as a result.





But in all honesty the woman has no brains when it comes to easily gaining votes instead of opening up her yappy mouth (losing impressionable voters) and saying she has a ';plan'; for this or for that.
She has many foundations that are in her name that she will probably donate to.
probably the ';Elect Hillary in '08'; fund.
Hadn't thought about that. I bet it's one that would be ';beneficial'; to her.
Save The Cankles.
Bill put it in a cigar box for safe keeping..
Knowing Hillary the way I do, I am sure it will be to a righteous cause that needs these funds. However, I was under the impression that she was returning these funds. Either way, the church will not take illegal funds.
A portion to Fred Thompson's campaign and some to McCain's....
moveon.org. They will just donate it back to her.............
It's going to the Bill Clinton Foundation for Wayward Interns.
Probably going to the fund to teach Republicans how to read and do 'rithmetic.

    Why is John Mcain really suspending his campaign?

    Is it because he is behind in the polls and Sarah Palin will get eaten alive when she debates Joe Biden? He wants to go to Washington to help solve the financial crisis that he helped create right? I think the man is full of crap and I don't trust him to be President with decisions like the ones he makes. He may look like a hero to some people but I question his judgment on this one. Anyone remember the Keating 5? If you don't then look it up and see how Mcain helped us get into this mess to begin with!Why is John Mcain really suspending his campaign?
    Why? He's trying to get Palin off the debating schedule all together by taking her time slot next week. These debates are set up a year ahead of time and it would be hard to get another site arranged on a minute's notice so, ';Oops, we tried to find another time for Palin, but we couldn't.';Why is John Mcain really suspending his campaign?
    exactly! I believe the main reason he is suspending his campaign is to postpone the 1st presidential debate to a later date, therefore having to cancel the VP debate all together, due to the amount of debates left and the shortening number of days till election...In doing this McCain will not have to expose Palin and let the US see Biden rip her apart on National Television





    but Obama is fighting this and is not gunna let it happen


    GOOD WORK OBAMA!!
    Don C: I live in part of the area effected by hurricane IKE, we as Texans don't need the presidential help as we are not cry babies like our neighbors and we don't need a photo op. President Bush has in fact been here to take an aerial tour days after the storm. Our Governor, state officials and citizens are handling this disaster as they are capable. Another reason they can't be here around everything is even most residents can't return.





    Now to answer the question:


    John McCain is doing the duty he was elected and sworn to do.
    There are many reasons to suspend the campaign. Since they are both Senators they should be working to resolve this problem, but if they keep up a campaign while most Americans are suffering who does it hurt? Not the campaigns who have multimillion dollar budgets. You may want to look at Clinton, who helped move manufacturing jobs out of this nation that helped bring us to this point.
    If I had to speculate I would offer these two reasons:





    1. Refocus the media coverage away from Obama's strengths (mission accomplished)





    2. McCain is not a good unscripted speaker. He's not quick with comebacks and takes his time with his answers. Any plausible reason to avoid a debate works in his favor. (mission accomplished)





    3. They have to avoid, or at least postpone a Palin debate at any cost. The more she opens her mouth, the more clear it is that she is not up to the challenges of the job.
    He knows that the Republican party is in trouble and can not get a life line that is tied to the the ships cleat with the proper seaman's knot


    .


    The last 854 billion life line was not even in the right part of the ship to be thrown over board to save the troubled ones


    .


    And now they want to fling over another life line of 700 billion


    .


    And McCain know that the Republican party screwed up big time this time


    .
    McCain sure as hell isn't afraid to debate Obama Friday on Foreign policy! Why wouldn't Obama debate McCain the 10 times that McCain wanted to in town hall meetings? Hmm?





    LOL! Big expectations you have there that Biden will eat Palin alive! We shall see, won't we?





    McCain certainly is not in any way shape or form responsible for ';this mess';. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were on his hit list!
    Yeah, I think you got it. He wants to take credit for the bailout, delay the debates and avoid reporters who have lots of questions for him about the Keating 5, Sarah Palin and her various scandals, Rick Davis and Freddie Mac, Phil Gramm, Carly Fiorina and on and on and on...
    IF HIS INTEREST WAS REALLY SUSPENDING THE CAMPAIGN BECAUSE HE IS SOOO CONCERNED WITH THE CRISIS, THEN WHY DIDN'T HE CALL OBAMA AND PROPOSE THAT THEY MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT TOGETHER... I MEAN ISN'T THAT WHAT HE WANTS?? ';ITS A TIME FOR BOTH PARTIES TO COME TOGETHER';





    BTW, BEFORE MCCHICKEN MADE HIS LITTLE ANNOUNCEMENT, OBAMA CALLED MCCAIN PERSONALLY TO SUGGEST RELEASING A JOINT STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF RESOLVING THE BAIL OUT. MCLAME IS PATHETIC.
    He is a Senator. He is doing what the people of Arizona elected him to do. He's not waiting around to be summoned if he's needed. He realizes that he has responsibilities, and he his performing his duties as a Senator.
    When he comes up with a bipartisan solution while Obama fiddles, you'll see why he went to congress to earn the pay that we give him.





    Good luck with those polls after that. Substance always wins over talk when people notice the truth.
    Yes to all the points you have made.





    He is suspending his campaign as an attempt to change the polls...I am not so sure that this latest stunt from the GOP Distract %26amp; Avoid Machine is going to have the desired effect.
    Whenever my 5 year old has to go in to get immunized, she always fakes needing to go to the bathroom because it's ';urgent';. Of course we go and find that she's just buying time because she's scared.


    My daughter is 5 years old. What's McCain's excuse?
    He is an intellectual lightweight who will be blown away by Obama. His pathetic stunt has backfired because there are already enough Democrats to make the bailout vote pass. McCain better get his stupid @ss in that debating hall tomorrow.
    Yes he is. He's a leader of the CENTRISTS in the Senate. He needs to be there.





    Geez y'all are shortsided becasue of the Obama glasses your wearing.
    Its a publicity stunt. He's trying to change the momentum. He also wants to get the VP debate scrapped. He KNOWS its nearly impossible to change the debate schedule on such short notice.
    Better that he shows everyone that he freaks out and panics in a crisis now than after the election.
    Because he's a COWARD.
    Full of boloney if you ask me.
    i agree with everything you said.... McCain is just hiding
    the real answer be on a count he just is realizing that we gonna PAINT THE WHITE HOUSE BLACK!





    Obama baby!
    ALL THOSE SCENARIOS ARE 100% TRUE....GREAT OBSERVATION!
    He's in deep trouble, and can't use his POW experience as a crutch now.
    it's a stunt for all the imbeciles that fall for it
    Sounds like a rant to me.
    I really don't know why he did it, maybe you're right.
    It's a gimmick to slow down Obama momentum, McCain can not walk and chew gum at the same time it's something the next president will have to do on a daily bases.When John McCain held an unexpected news conference mid-Wednesday afternoon he addressed the current economic crisis with direness previously unseen. His campaign would be suspended, he told reporters, in order to work on the bailout legislation in Congress. The debate scheduled with Barack Obama on Friday night, he added, could be postponed.





    Observers, critics, even fellow Republicans, were left wondering: where did this sense of urgency come from? After all, it was this past Sunday that McCain hinted on sunday new networks that he would support the bailout ,we have to stop the bleeding only to express deep criticisms on Monday and then admit he hadn't even read the three-page proposal on Tuesday.





    I have not had a chance to see it in writing, said McCain . I have to examine it.





    The move permeated with political opportunism an attempt by McCain to grab the leadership mantle he did not own and divert attention from poll numbers that were plummeting. On Wednesday morning a Washington Post-ABC poll had McCain trailing Obama 52 percent to 43 percent among likely voters. The internals were even worse: 54 percent of white voters with economic anxiety favored Obama.





    When will McCain release his real medical records


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHvJPGnkQ鈥?/a>





    OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 .



    The liberal media which no doubt you watch are very anti McCain. Sarah will have no problem kicking Joe Biden, he will help her with comments like Great Depression being explained on TV and having the wrong president in the white house during the great depression. If Sarah had made a stupid comment like that the liberal media would be eating her alive. But Old dummy Joe gets another pass.
    I am happy he is finally doing his job, whatever his motivations might be.





    Why is Obama not taking a position on this?

    Does it bother you that McCain's campaign staff is loaded with lobbyists?

    His main campaign strategist is a lobbyist for Georgia (the country), coincidentally Bush just approved a 1 BILLION aid package for Georgia.





    Also, many of McCain/Palin's speechwriters are bush vets.Does it bother you that McCain's campaign staff is loaded with lobbyists?
    Yes it does bother me, because unlike Obama who gets his support from the american people who donate and stand up for change, McCain only cares about one thing...money. And we all know money is the root of all evil, anything or anyone that is driven by money and greed, will soon fail. Does it bother you that McCain's campaign staff is loaded with lobbyists?
    No. Does it bother you that Obama the guy who supposedly is not beholden to special interests, took three times as much money from Lehman Brothers and more than twice as much from AIG.





    And who did the now Government financed mortgage broker Fannie Mae give its money to when it wanted to influence a politician?





    OpenSecrets lists the top three politicians in which FNMA “invested” from 1989 to 2008.





    Top Recipients of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Campaign Contributions, 1989-2008





    Name Office State Party Grand Total


    Dodd, Christopher S CT D $165,400


    Obama, Barack S IL D $126,349 ($6000 came from the PAC)


    Kerry, John S MA D $111,000





    Does it bother you that Obama's economic adviser, Austan Goolsbee, secretly told the Canadian embassy that Obama's demagoguery against NAFTA in the primaries was just a Styrofoam-pillar bid to win the Ohio vote.





    Does it bother you that Obama tried to stall GI's withdraw from Iraq until after the elections. Funny, that's not what Obama told voters. He has made an immediate pullout the cornerstone of his campaign.


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z33E3RnrI…
    only if it bothers you that one of Sen. Obama's advisors was previously a President of one of the just nationalized mortgage operations, made something like 50 million in less than a decade for doing that, AND oversaw the operation when the books were being kept crookedly [as per later settlement with the SEC].








    oh.
    No. It doesn't bother them.
    No. Does it bother you that Obama's chief economic adviser is responsible for the bankrupt AIG?
    Not anymore than it bothers me that 300 ethanol industry members are writing obama's energy policy.
    Please.......... it bothers me that Obama won't share the money he has raised with his own party.
    WHINERS!!!!! Just cuz you have no money!!!!

    Did Hillary replace her Caucasian head of campaign with an African American to appeal to African Americans?

    Hillary has been strugling with African Americans. It seems too convenient that she made an African American the head of her campaign just 2 days before the Maryland, DC, and Virginia primaries. Would you agree?Did Hillary replace her Caucasian head of campaign with an African American to appeal to African Americans?
    you got it right.





    it's just another stunt pulled by hillary and her camp.





    right before every primary and/or caucus, hillary pulls some stunt.





    her latest stunt is parading this african-american woman around right before tuesday's primaries and/or caucuses.





    if this woman were so good, why didn't hillary hire her from the get go?





    she used solis (a hispanic, and former campaign manager) to help get the hispanic votes. so now she's using a black because she thinks that'll help her to get the black votes.Did Hillary replace her Caucasian head of campaign with an African American to appeal to African Americans?
    Check your facts. The previous campaign manager was born to Mexican immigrant parents (therefore not ';caucasian';)

    Report Abuse



    Now come on. That's implying Hillary is a sneaky, manipulative, duplicitous ******. How rude...
    I think its a fair question. Hillary is in a fight with someone she didn't think she would have to deal with. Votes that she thought she could count on she can't. Her camp has been alleged to be playing the race card. So this looks like ';See, we have a black, female campaign manager, we can't be racist.';





    I think the combination of the race being the way it is along with how long the campaign season is justifies the switch. The campaign manager sets up the approach of the campaign. Clearly this campaign is not doing what Senator Clinton would hope that it would be doing. John McCain did the same thing, look at where it has gotten him.





    I would give the Senator the benefit of the doubt, but that is fair question to ask. I think Obama is running a better campaign. It doesn't mean he should be President, but does it matter if his campaign gets more people to vote for him than anyone else?





    I will say this, if this is an attempt to show black people that they should vote for her because her campaign manager is black, it goes to show you what she thinks about the black vote. That it is easy garnered based on race, which in it self is racist. That could explain why Dole( the Latina) was the head of the campaign in the first place, catering to the illegal alien lobby.
    I do wish people would not vote for a candidate based on race or sex.
    Actually, Patty Soliz Doyle is Hispanic and pro Amnesty, not caucasian.





    The replacement is an expert in receiving campaign funding from the Chinese. I understand that Hillary is cash strapped at the moment.
    Why is America so hateful when it comes to skin color, so what she hired someone else why keep bringing up race
    Is she black? Even if she is, what the hell difference would that make? Why would someone change their mind when that has NOTING to do with being nominated? If her race was a motivating factor in her becoming the campaign manager, Senator Clinton needs to go sit down and give up.
    We have no idea why she did that. You can speculate as much as you want. I suggest you find something better to do.
    Well the crying wasn't working any more she had to do something
    Point blank, Yes it is.
    If she did then she's pathetic. What a flip flopper. She still ain't winning the black vote.
    No, I don't agree.
    It seems, does not mean your right about it, some african american are for Hillary as well you know!!

    Will John McCain be running any positive campaign ads?

    So far nothing but attack, attack, attack. Is the reason he's not running any ads on his actual positions because he's flip-flopped on most of them? Since his campaign in 2000, he's not even the same person.Will John McCain be running any positive campaign ads?
    And the Democrats have supported the Bush Presidency?





    Dems just yell about attack ads. They have no trouble making there own.Will John McCain be running any positive campaign ads?
    You wanna talk flip flops?





    Lets talk about Bidens view on Obamas readiness to be President





    '; have you seen any negative Obama ads';





    Yes. Come here to Florida, they play 2 I can think of all the time
    Since he'd be going to the gates of Hell to get Bin Laden and will more than likely pulled right in due to his adulterous behavior I doubt it.
    I hope not! I hope he digs up every piece of garbage he can on Obama.. I am sick to death of the press letting Obama have a pass..





    Hell he can attend a racist church for 20 years.. that's okay with the press.





    He can call a racist preacher, his kindly old uncle.. that's okay with the press.





    He can promise one thing one day and change it the next.. that is okay with the press.





    His wife can finally become proud of America when her husband starts running for the presidency.. but even that is okay with the media.





    He has all sorts of prior friends and even relatives under his famous bus.. and that is still good in the eyes of the sickeningly biased press.





    So I say. Go McCain.. dig up the dirt and let us have it. This man is a big sham.. a pretence.. an inexperienced nobody playing a big game because he has a lot of Chicago backing.. find out about that!
    Go soak your head in vinegar.





    The ad showing Joe Biden dismissing Obama as too inexperienced to be president and all but endorsing McCain as ';better for the country'; is very POSITIVE.





    A negative ad or comment is one that presents a lie or is deceptive. Obama said, ';McCain wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years.'; That was a bald-faced lie. When he said ';I feel'; the Republicans will play the race card when he was already playing it, is deceptive. The Republicans have not played the race card. Obama has been the one doing that.





    McCain is very much the same person. When time and circumstances change, intelligent people change with them. When polls change, opportunistic people change with them. And that is EXACTLY what Obama has been doing.





    Besides, haven't you heard that Obama chose Biden so his running mate could be his attack dog?





    Stop fooling yourself. You're the only one getting fooled.
    How about this one?





    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDVUPqoow鈥?/a>





    It's very positive.
    I would probably would have agreed if I didn't see this morning a Obama ad attacking John.








    I don't like either John or Obama but to see how people easily can talk trash about one party without accepting their own faults is funny.





    Both parties are idiots... I'll my laugh my *** off just watching how stupid each of you look. Do you honestly think your bickering does America any good?
    Is it possible that anything he says about Obama will be construed as negative by you.
    why should he run positive ads


    against dupes like obama and mad dog biden the plagiarist





    come on wake up and smell the coffee bunky





    this aint college - where if your Biden you steal someone elses words for a term paper


    and brag about how high your IQ is in Public


    where your closest pals are life long hack politicians like fatboy kennedy and Chris ';I got a low mortgage Rate Dodd';





    machine politics same ole same ole and you thought all along that obama was different lolololol





    like I said wake up
    Gee McCain has been joking about bombing Iran, telling us there's gonna be more wars and now he runs all these negative ads. I haven't heard a positive word out of his mouth and his jokes are absolutely disgusting imagine a president joking about bombing Iran? What a sick sense of humor, He even called his own wife a c-u-n-t in 1992 maybe If McCain's put on some medication that calms his temper maybe then he'll stand a chance of winning this election.





    Obama is just a arrogant man who cites hope and change but is truly a wolf in sheeps clothling.

    Personally, I've seen one (count 'em ONE) pro-McCain ad and 4 pro-Obama ads. (Honestly, with DVR, I don't watch many commercials). One the flip side of that I've seen 4 anti-Obama ads and 1 anti-McCain ad.





    But you use what you have to get what you want.
    NOcain. He makes me want to vomit with his negative ads.
    Flip Flop McCain


    Pro -choice -2000

    When you have not much to positively say about ones self %26gt;


    This becomes -


    Positive McCain = Oxymoron


    Much like intelligent - McCain supporter


    My opinion of the debasing , stupid smears on Obama .
    Doubtful, he said he wants to run a campaign based on the issues but he was lying just like Bush does. They never think there is a ned to tell the truth unless it is advantageous to do so. I would just like to see him run a ad based on truth even if it is a attack add. McCain is just a bitter, dishonest, greedy, manipulative, power hungry old man on the verge of senility. He will no doubt start a war somewhere if elected.
    He already is. Here's one featuring Hilary Cliinton talking about the lifetime of experience of McCain and one speech of Obama.
    and obamas been all sunshine and roses right? i mean when he called hill an annie oakley then that wasn't negative right? that was the most positive thing people could say. obama should stop letting other people fight his battles for him cnn, nbc are both dripping poison to any opponent of obamas and now hes letting biden fight his battles for him. obama should start being a man stop letting everybody else go negative for him and stop misrepresenting himself. i don't like mccain im for hill but this whole double standard where obams concerned pi***sses me off.
    i've seem lots of positive ads of himself that don't even mention obama. i think you have selective memory. also, wasn't obama the one saying that he's a new type of politician and won't go negative? what a liar.





    Swizzle, are you saying that the 7 houses ad was positive? What about the 100 year war stuff? All garbage from your Messiah. Enjoy worshipping him.
    You're right. McCain was the 'maverick' in 2000, with his own ideas and his own agenda. The party leaders didn't want that so they smeared him. McCain decided to come back and be a 'team player', so now he supports the Party Agenda, even though he had to flip-flop on all his main position points to do that.





    So now McCain has to back all the failed policies of the Bush administration, because those are the party policies. He has to pretend he thinks Bush is doing a great job and everything is just swell. No wonder he seems out of touch!





    But he can't win by constantly promising to keep the war going, to give more tax breaks to the rich, and to keep building up bigger and bigger debt. So all he can do is attack Obama. Besides, that's what the Republicans do best anyway--all of their presidential campaigns are mostly negative.





    And I have to say it's really kind of a shame. You almost have to feel sorry for McCain. I had respect for him once. If he was running as an independent with his own ideas, I might even have voted for him.
    I hate the new John McCain. I am serious if he had won the Republican primaries in 2000 I'd vote for him and donate money to him...I'd have the same passion for him that I'd have for Obama now...but McCain sold out for Bush's policies...McCain flip flopped on the Bush tax cuts, and he still supports the war even when we know it was based on a bunch of lies. People always say they want small government well that's what Bush gave you...he didn't help in Katrina, he keeps all national concerns to himself and everything is behind the curtain with his whole adminstration...the same people who were in Bush's adminstration are running McCain's campaign...now what does that tell you...Nothing will change
    Yes, McCain is basically running as the ';anti-himself'; in 2000.


    Negative ads work - that's why that's all he's doing.
    I don't know but if he expects to win he is going to have to run a lot better campaign then he has so far.
    Yes I've seen negative Obama adds even though I'm not Alicia. And why does he need to run positive adds when Obama gives him so much fodder for running add showing how empty Obama is.





    Have you seen one definition for what change means? Is ';Hope'; somehing physical that you can put your arms around? Has Obama actually defined himself? No. So McCain is left with defining who he is or isn't. He isn't anything substantial and he is an empty suit with no proposals other than inflating tires.





    For all you guys complaining that ';McCain'; has changed for the election, doesn't that mean as soon as the elections is over he'll go right back to being a Democrat again? So what's your complaint? He'll give all you liberals what you want if elected anyway!





    McCain 08. The Other Democrat.
    He broke his promise to have a clean campaign.... so anything he says is rubbish and lies.

    Why does the Liberal party always single out race,gender,sexual orientation in there campaign platform?

    Why not address Americans as a whole and don't promise special rights to these groups nobody should have special rights no matter who they are!Why does the Liberal party always single out race,gender,sexual orientation in there campaign platform?
    It seems like anything that is bad for the country, they are for. I am so diametrically opposed to the liberal agenda.Why does the Liberal party always single out race,gender,sexual orientation in there campaign platform?
    the liberalism disease! I second that mentality. The race issues, i think are pretty much done with, even the gender rights campaign was alright when it started..


    But come on sexual preference...that's where I draw the line. no more BULLSHIT please!

    Report Abuse



    These people are not given special rights. They are given special laws because their rights have been violated, and these laws try to make up for it. For example, gays have been discriminated against by not allowing them to be married. So we have to pass a law that allows gays be married. Same with black and white couples. It used to be blacks were treated separately, and has recently as today inter-racial dating and Bob Jones University is against school policy. So we need to pass a law saying that a black person can marry a white person.





    If you were familiar with all the ways these groups have been discriminated against, you probably wouldn't ask such a juvenile question. But I digress.
    Liberalism is anything but liberal. I've never understood why liberals claim to be for individual rights, but then go and enforce laws that prevent individual choices. The Chicago sun-times had an excellent article today about how paternalistic big city governments have become. ';The Nanny State';. From prohibiting trans-fats in foods, to smoking bans, a decrease in liquor licenses, an increase in security cameras to mention a few. Democrats run all the Big Cities in America. How do you explain these findings. It comes as no surprise that they play the race and gender card. Democrats want you to feel like a victim.
    because they don't care


    and they talk about equality when really they're just as bad as everyone else it's unfair like say if someone is straight and someone is gay is applying for the same job and the straight guy more experience than the gay guy but they gay guy gets the job because he's gay


    and it gives people an excuse to use their orientation, race, and gender as a crutch and a way to get through life that's not fair now is it?
    They always say things to these people because they care about their ';rights.'; I, as a Conservative, usually don't mention it, unless specifically questioned, and then I get nervous because when you tell people that you're against gay marriage, equal pay, and affirmative action (by the way what the hell is that? I have to ask Dick), they might not support you. Just don't be upfront about these things, its not necessary.
    They cannot, the second issues come up Obama flips an flops and changes his mind to meet the audience so they cannot quote him on issues...





    For gun control, for the 2nd amendment.





    No private funds for election....ooops, private funds are for me!





    For the war, against the war...





    Flip.....flop





    No flag, ooops, need the flag...








    So, lets talk about race, etc...





    Amazing.





    McCain 08 he has GOOD character and judgment
    It is a way to divide people and foster class envy. Once people are divided then they will vote for their own interests instead of what is good for everyone.





    Liberals like this because people won't band together against them and they can then pander to each group by offering free handouts. This keeps them in power and their agenda moving forward.
    Because the conservatives are the ones with the problem with our race, views, sexual gender and sexual orientation





    They want to just be treated the same you say it ';no special treatment'; well then treat them the same and it wouldn't be brought up
    The once great Democrat Party has become little more than a patchwork of many single issue, groups who view themselves as the victims of ';whatever';. None of which, has the best interests of America at heart.





    *
    They are racist,sexist,straight bashing, frauds and should be water boarded and sent to Guantanamo with no representation.
    Because they are sectarian fools that would have this country Balkanized within a generation if given the chance.
    Because Democrats represent all of the people whom the republicans have historically tried to disenfranchise.
    how bout taking out the emotional issues and get down to business. instead of bickering about bs issues that waste money and fill politicians wallets
    Exactly
    Their playbook has a limited number of plays.





    Been there done that...so what can brown do for you?
    That's the Republican's game. They are the ones who don't want ';gay marriage'; and want ';hispanics to carry ID cards';.





    The Republicans have all the rules.





    Liberals simply say, ';Be proud of who you are.';
    Sorry, State Side, this is the Republican Platform.

    Critizice everyone else: the current administration, my opponents, the other party, other politicians, forgein leaders, forgein policies, other people, just blame, blame, blame everyone else but me. Then, I'd be sure to say how I'm perfect and so much better than everyone else. That should work. Oh yeah, and spend excessive amounts of money on putting my name everywhere. I'd be sure to win!What campaign strategy you would employ if you were to run to President?
    Work the South through black churches and other traditionally African-American groups, point out to the working class of all colors how much they've lost with the disapperance of manufacturing jobs and NEVER fail to express religious and family values (sometimes hard for an Episcopalian).





    The midwest would be similar: blue collar traditional Democrats. The northeastesrn liberals mostly want to know that one is progressive on social issues and well versed in economics.





    The west could be difficult for me but I would stress water concerns, human rights and civil liberties.





    Finally, I'd pick a running mate who could win a big state I normally would not.What campaign strategy you would employ if you were to run to President?
    I'd be honest, that's why I wouldn't have a chance.

    How much money did the democratic party pay Sarah Palin to sabotage her own campaign?

    Nothing. She obviously wasn't too found of her position so she sabotaged it herself, I mean there have been moments that she said she was not ready for this position...so what more can i say?How much money did the democratic party pay Sarah Palin to sabotage her own campaign?
    I want to know how much they contributed to the McCain campaign. He was the most liberal Republican running in the primaries. I wish Tom Tancredo was the candidate.How much money did the democratic party pay Sarah Palin to sabotage her own campaign?
    Oh give it a rest already....I thought their was a mandate for your messiah to win. McCain could have chosen Jesus as his running mate and he still would have lost, quit making excuses for your sorry candidate.

    Completely untrue. Why do you ask these things? Didn't Obama win? Who cares about Palin?
    Good grief. You democrats are obsessed with Palin. AND THE ELECTION IS OVER!
    Well if that's the case, then Sarah Palin is there for the money and not for her country. Palin was a joke.
    None. She did it all by herself. She didn't need any help with that.
    It'll be fun watching Obama screw up. Looks like he's getting overwhelmed.
    The scary thing is, I think she was actually trying to win. And *that's* how she acted.
    Wow! Here come the imaginations again!

    Is it me or is barack obama always in martin Luther King mode and campaign mode when will he start leading?

    zerObama never had any accomplishments in business, or in the Senate, never took a stand on anything except abortion and ACORN,


    never sponsored any legislation, and could only vote ';Present'; on legislation, thereby avoiding taking a stand.


    Now, we see the old zeroboam back once more, the ';community organizer';, the downtrodden victim, and the consummate campaigner.


    Surprising, anyone ever expected anything different.Is it me or is barack obama always in martin Luther King mode and campaign mode when will he start leading?
    Actually MLK was a great leader, so I think it's good that Obama has that characteristic. Also, the way Obama ran his campaign demonstrated that he was in fact a great leader. so with that said, i don't understand your question. He is leading and has been since Jan 20, 2009.Is it me or is barack obama always in martin Luther King mode and campaign mode when will he start leading?
    Most people will criticise you but I agree, although it is obviously very early to criticise him.


    Let's give the man a chance.





    However, I wish people would stop thinking of him as a black president. Even the Republicans think they now need a black man to get votes. The reason he's there is to change things, for everyone - not just black people. That seems to be secondary at the moment.
    ?????





    Dunno what you mean at all; and you didn't explain.





    He HAS started leading. He's done more in this tiny time than any prez before. I guess you don't have any access to news.





    Here:


    http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing_room/鈥?/a>





    Read for yourself.
    It's you. Bush was the master of the permanent campaign. Obama is looking to fix the country--he already won the election, dude.
    It's mostly you. I have seen that description also in the media but I think that you and some in the media need to adapt to his style of leadership.
    Wow there is a tremendous amount of racism in that question. During his first 100 days Bush spent more time on vacation than any other president. Did you get on yahoo and ask, ';When will he start leading?';
    Obama is a follower not a leader
    Why don't you try and be original instead of repeating some other losers bullsh*t? Ditto head.
    Those of us with experience knew that when the going got tough, all Oprahma would do is give a speech.
    Definitely, you. He has been a leader and a doer since January 20th.
    You see what you want to see.
    Pay 'tention, dude.
    It's just you...trust me on that one.





    BTW, what would you know about MLK enough to make a comparison?

    How long does the resident evil 5 campaign last for?

    Roughly, How long does the campaign for re5 last for... (In hours)


    Thx in advance :DHow long does the resident evil 5 campaign last for?
    take anywhere from 20-30 minutes per chapter times that by 16 chapters so anywhere from 6-8 hours total game time.


    for the first two difficulty settings then id say about 30 to 45 minutes per chapter for the next two difficulties so that's about 8-12 hours of game time.


    so in total about 40 hours of total game play.


    which is good. b/c i'm going to play this game on every difficulty until i get everything maxed out and have infinite ammo for everything.How long does the resident evil 5 campaign last for?
    as i've been playing it the past couple days, it seems like it's going to be a fairly short campaign, but don't let that stop you from playing it. it's pretty good. not my favorite out of the series, but definitely a keeper.

    Have there been any issues that have received too much attention in this presidential campaign?

    What issues, if any, were blown out of proportion?





    Thanks.Have there been any issues that have received too much attention in this presidential campaign?
    Sarah Palin's wardrobe. After all the whining from the opposition about


    ';sticking to the issues';, this becomes a so-called issue. Have you ever noticed the only time there have been ';issues'; that had to be refocoused on, it's to avoid answering to any accusations from the other side? Interesting, the issues only matter when he says so.Have there been any issues that have received too much attention in this presidential campaign?
    I don't think there really has been much attention paid to the issues except McCains age and association with Bush and Obama's inexperience and association with terrorist. I would like to have heard what each thinks about the illegal situation, drugs, why they both voted for the BAILOUT when 80% of the people were against it. I am tired of not being able to pin these people down on issues. WE Vote for candidates and we really don't know how they stand on issues.
    Actually issues really haven't been discussed that much to be blown out of proportion. All I've been hearing about is smears and conspiracies, neither of which tells me about my future taxes, how far my dollar will go, etc.
    It's too bad there are so few actual issues discussed. I tired of hearing ';he is a socialist';, he is a ';Muslim,'; she spent $150,000 on her wardrobe. Can we please talk about real issues?

    Did Hillary replace her Caucasian head of campaign with an African American to appeal to African Americans?

    Hillary has been strugling with African Americans. It seems too convenient that she made an African American the head of her campaign just 2 days before the Maryland, DC, and Virginia primaries. Would you agree?Did Hillary replace her Caucasian head of campaign with an African American to appeal to African Americans?
    you got it right.





    it's just another stunt pulled by hillary and her camp.





    right before every primary and/or caucus, hillary pulls some stunt.





    her latest stunt is parading this african-american woman around right before tuesday's primaries and/or caucuses.





    if this woman were so good, why didn't hillary hire her from the get go?





    she used solis (a hispanic, and former campaign manager) to help get the hispanic votes. so now she's using a black because she thinks that'll help her to get the black votes.Did Hillary replace her Caucasian head of campaign with an African American to appeal to African Americans?
    Check your facts. The previous campaign manager was born to Mexican immigrant parents (therefore not ';caucasian';)

    Report Abuse



    Now come on. That's implying Hillary is a sneaky, manipulative, duplicitous ******. How rude...
    I think its a fair question. Hillary is in a fight with someone she didn't think she would have to deal with. Votes that she thought she could count on she can't. Her camp has been alleged to be playing the race card. So this looks like ';See, we have a black, female campaign manager, we can't be racist.';





    I think the combination of the race being the way it is along with how long the campaign season is justifies the switch. The campaign manager sets up the approach of the campaign. Clearly this campaign is not doing what Senator Clinton would hope that it would be doing. John McCain did the same thing, look at where it has gotten him.





    I would give the Senator the benefit of the doubt, but that is fair question to ask. I think Obama is running a better campaign. It doesn't mean he should be President, but does it matter if his campaign gets more people to vote for him than anyone else?





    I will say this, if this is an attempt to show black people that they should vote for her because her campaign manager is black, it goes to show you what she thinks about the black vote. That it is easy garnered based on race, which in it self is racist. That could explain why Dole( the Latina) was the head of the campaign in the first place, catering to the illegal alien lobby.
    I do wish people would not vote for a candidate based on race or sex.
    Actually, Patty Soliz Doyle is Hispanic and pro Amnesty, not caucasian.





    The replacement is an expert in receiving campaign funding from the Chinese. I understand that Hillary is cash strapped at the moment.
    Why is America so hateful when it comes to skin color, so what she hired someone else why keep bringing up race
    Is she black? Even if she is, what the hell difference would that make? Why would someone change their mind when that has NOTING to do with being nominated? If her race was a motivating factor in her becoming the campaign manager, Senator Clinton needs to go sit down and give up.
    We have no idea why she did that. You can speculate as much as you want. I suggest you find something better to do.
    Well the crying wasn't working any more she had to do something
    Point blank, Yes it is.
    If she did then she's pathetic. What a flip flopper. She still ain't winning the black vote.
    No, I don't agree.
    It seems, does not mean your right about it, some african american are for Hillary as well you know!!

I haven't heard a positive word out of his mouth and his jokes are absolutely disgusting imagine a president joking about bombing Iran? What a sick sense of humor, He even called his own wife a c-u-n-t in 1992 maybe If McCain's put on some medication that calms his temper maybe then he'll stand a chance of winning this election.

    A negative ad or comment is one that presents a lie or is deceptive. Obama said, ';McCain wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years.'; That was a bald-faced lie. When he said ';I feel'; the Republicans will play the race card when he was already playing it, is deceptive. The Republicans have not played the race card. Obama has been the one doing that.





    McCain is very much the same person. When time and circumstances change, intelligent people change with them. When polls change, opportunistic people change with them. And that is EXACTLY what Obama has been doing.





    Besides, haven't you heard that Obama chose Biden so his running mate could be his attack dog?





    Stop fooling yourself. You're the only one getting fooled.
    I would probably would have agreed if I didn't see this morning a Obama ad attacking John.








    I don't like either John or Obama but to see how people easily can talk trash about one party without accepting their own faults is funny.





    Both parties are idiots... I'll my laugh my *** off just watching how stupid each of you look. Do you honestly think your bickering does America any good?
    I don't know but if he expects to win he is going to have to run a lot better campaign then he has so far.
    And the Democrats have supported the Bush Presidency?





    Dems just yell about attack ads. They have no trouble making there own.
    You wanna talk flip flops?





    Lets talk about Bidens view on Obamas readiness to be President





    '; have you seen any negative Obama ads';





    Yes. Come here to Florida, they play 2 I can think of all the time
    Since he'd be going to the gates of Hell to get Bin Laden and will more than likely pulled right in due to his adulterous behavior I doubt it.

    Why does the Liberal party always single out race,gender,sexual orientation in there campaign platform?

    Why not address Americans as a whole and don't promise special rights to these groups nobody should have special rights no matter who they are!Why does the Liberal party always single out race,gender,sexual orientation in there campaign platform?
    It seems like anything that is bad for the country, they are for. I am so diametrically opposed to the liberal agenda.Why does the Liberal party always single out race,gender,sexual orientation in there campaign platform?
    the liberalism disease! I second that mentality. The race issues, i think are pretty much done with, even the gender rights campaign was alright when it started..


    But come on sexual preference...that's where I draw the line. no more BULLSHIT please!

    These people are not given special rights. They are given special laws because their rights have been violated, and these laws try to make up for it. For example, gays have been discriminated against by not allowing them to be married. So we have to pass a law that allows gays be married. Same with black and white couples. It used to be blacks were treated separately, and has recently as today inter-racial dating and Bob Jones University is against school policy. So we need to pass a law saying that a black person can marry a white person.





    If you were familiar with all the ways these groups have been discriminated against, you probably wouldn't ask such a juvenile question. But I digress.
    Liberalism is anything but liberal. I've never understood why liberals claim to be for individual rights, but then go and enforce laws that prevent individual choices. The Chicago sun-times had an excellent article today about how paternalistic big city governments have become. ';The Nanny State';. From prohibiting trans-fats in foods, to smoking bans, a decrease in liquor licenses, an increase in security cameras to mention a few. Democrats run all the Big Cities in America. How do you explain these findings. It comes as no surprise that they play the race and gender card. Democrats want you to feel like a victim.
    because they don't care


    and they talk about equality when really they're just as bad as everyone else it's unfair like say if someone is straight and someone is gay is applying for the same job and the straight guy more experience than the gay guy but they gay guy gets the job because he's gay


    and it gives people an excuse to use their orientation, race, and gender as a crutch and a way to get through life that's not fair now is it?
    They always say things to these people because they care about their ';rights.'; I, as a Conservative, usually don't mention it, unless specifically questioned, and then I get nervous because when you tell people that you're against gay marriage, equal pay, and affirmative action (by the way what the hell is that? I have to ask Dick), they might not support you. Just don't be upfront about these things, its not necessary.
    They cannot, the second issues come up Obama flips an flops and changes his mind to meet the audience so they cannot quote him on issues...





    For gun control, for the 2nd amendment.





    No private funds for election....ooops, private funds are for me!





    For the war, against the war...

    No flag, ooops, need the flag...








    So, lets talk about race, etc...





    Amazing.





    McCain 08 he has GOOD character and judgment
    It is a way to divide people and foster class envy. Once people are divided then they will vote for their own interests instead of what is good for everyone.





    Liberals like this because people won't band together against them and they can then pander to each group by offering free handouts. This keeps them in power and their agenda moving forward.
    Because the conservatives are the ones with the problem with our race, views, sexual gender and sexual orientation





    They want to just be treated the same you say it ';no special treatment'; well then treat them the same and it wouldn't be brought up
    The once great Democrat Party has become little more than a patchwork of many single issue, groups who view themselves as the victims of ';whatever';. None of which, has the best interests of America at heart.





    *
    They are racist,sexist,straight bashing, frauds and should be water boarded and sent to Guantanamo with no representation.
    Because they are sectarian fools that would have this country Balkanized within a generation if given the chance.
    Because Democrats represent all of the people whom the republicans have historically tried to disenfranchise.
    how bout taking out the emotional issues and get down to business. instead of bickering about bs issues that waste money and fill politicians wallets
    Exactly
    Their playbook has a limited number of plays.





    Been there done that...so what can brown do for you?
    That's the Republican's game. They are the ones who don't want ';gay marriage'; and want ';hispanics to carry ID cards';.





    The Republicans have all the rules.





    Liberals simply say, ';Be proud of who you are.';

    What campaign strategy you would employ if you were to run to President?

    Change the rule that says you have to be born in the US to


    become President of the US.


    That's the first hurdle.What campaign strategy you would employ if you were to run to President?
    I'd be honest, that's why I wouldn't have a chance.What campaign strategy you would employ if you were to run to President?
    Critizice everyone else: the current administration, my opponents, the other party, other politicians, forgein leaders, forgein policies, other people, just blame, blame, blame everyone else but me. Then, I'd be sure to say how I'm perfect and so much better than everyone else. That should work. Oh yeah, and spend excessive amounts of money on putting my name everywhere. I'd be sure to win!
    Work the South through black churches and other traditionally African-American groups, point out to the working class of all colors how much they've lost with the disapperance of manufacturing jobs and NEVER fail to express religious and family values (sometimes hard for an Episcopalian).





    The midwest would be similar: blue collar traditional Democrats. The northeastesrn liberals mostly want to know that one is progressive on social issues and well versed in economics.





    The west could be difficult for me but I would stress water concerns, human rights and civil liberties.





    Finally, I'd pick a running mate who could win a big state I normally would not.
    I would surely have to keep and eye on the Clinton Maffia family. So many of their acquaintances have died mysteriously. I would watch my back for sure, the backstabbers son of .......

    How much money did the democratic party pay Sarah Palin to sabotage her own campaign?

    Nothing. She obviously wasn't too found of her position so she sabotaged it herself, I mean there have been moments that she said she was not ready for this position...so what more can i say?How much money did the democratic party pay Sarah Palin to sabotage her own campaign?
    I want to know how much they contributed to the McCain campaign. He was the most liberal Republican running in the primaries. I wish Tom Tancredo was the candidate.How much money did the democratic party pay Sarah Palin to sabotage her own campaign?
    Oh give it a rest already....I thought their was a mandate for your messiah to win. McCain could have chosen Jesus as his running mate and he still would have lost, quit making excuses for your sorry candidate.

    Completely untrue. Why do you ask these things? Didn't Obama win? Who cares about Palin?
    Good grief. You democrats are obsessed with Palin. AND THE ELECTION IS OVER!
    Well if that's the case, then Sarah Palin is there for the money and not for her country. Palin was a joke.
    None. She did it all by herself. She didn't need any help with that.
    It'll be fun watching Obama screw up. Looks like he's getting overwhelmed.
    The scary thing is, I think she was actually trying to win. And *that's* how she acted.
    Wow! Here come the imaginations again!
    They didn't.

    Is it me or is barack obama always in martin Luther King mode and campaign mode when will he start leading?

    zerObama never had any accomplishments in business, or in the Senate, never took a stand on anything except abortion and ACORN,


    never sponsored any legislation, and could only vote ';Present'; on legislation, thereby avoiding taking a stand.


    Now, we see the old zeroboam back once more, the ';community organizer';, the downtrodden victim, and the consummate campaigner.


    Surprising, anyone ever expected anything different.Is it me or is barack obama always in martin Luther King mode and campaign mode when will he start leading?
    Actually MLK was a great leader, so I think it's good that Obama has that characteristic. Also, the way Obama ran his campaign demonstrated that he was in fact a great leader. so with that said, i don't understand your question. He is leading and has been since Jan 20, 2009.Is it me or is barack obama always in martin Luther King mode and campaign mode when will he start leading?
    Most people will criticise you but I agree, although it is obviously very early to criticise him.


    Let's give the man a chance.





    However, I wish people would stop thinking of him as a black president. Even the Republicans think they now need a black man to get votes. The reason he's there is to change things, for everyone - not just black people. That seems to be secondary at the moment.
    ?????





    Dunno what you mean at all; and you didn't explain.





    He HAS started leading. He's done more in this tiny time than any prez before. I guess you don't have any access to news.





    Here:


    http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing_room/鈥?/a>





    Read for yourself.
    It's you. Bush was the master of the permanent campaign. Obama is looking to fix the country--he already won the election, dude.
    It's mostly you. I have seen that description also in the media but I think that you and some in the media need to adapt to his style of leadership.
    Wow there is a tremendous amount of racism in that question. During his first 100 days Bush spent more time on vacation than any other president. Did you get on yahoo and ask, ';When will he start leading?';
    Obama is a follower not a leader
    Why don't you try and be original instead of repeating some other losers bullsh*t? Ditto head.
    Those of us with experience knew that when the going got tough, all Oprahma would do is give a speech.
    Definitely, you. He has been a leader and a doer since January 20th.
    You see what you want to see.
    Pay 'tention, dude.
    It's just you...trust me on that one.





    BTW, what would you know about MLK enough to make a comparison?

    Thx in advance :DHow long does the resident evil 5 campaign last for?
    take anywhere from 20-30 minutes per chapter times that by 16 chapters so anywhere from 6-8 hours total game time.


    for the first two difficulty settings then id say about 30 to 45 minutes per chapter for the next two difficulties so that's about 8-12 hours of game time.


    so in total about 40 hours of total game play.


    which is good. b/c i'm going to play this game on every difficulty until i get everything maxed out and have infinite ammo for everything.How long does the resident evil 5 campaign last for?

    Thanks.Have there been any issues that have received too much attention in this presidential campaign?
    Sarah Palin's wardrobe. After all the whining from the opposition about


    ';sticking to the issues';, this becomes a so-called issue. Have you ever noticed the only time there have been ';issues'; that had to be refocoused on, it's to avoid answering to any accusations from the other side? Interesting, the issues only matter when he says so.Have there been any issues that have received too much attention in this presidential campaign?
    I don't think there really has been much attention paid to the issues except McCains age and association with Bush and Obama's inexperience and association with terrorist. I would like to have heard what each thinks about the illegal situation, drugs, why they both voted for the BAILOUT when 80% of the people were against it. I am tired of not being able to pin these people down on issues. WE Vote for candidates and we really don't know how they stand on issues.
    Actually issues really haven't been discussed that much to be blown out of proportion. All I've been hearing about is smears and conspiracies, neither of which tells me about my future taxes, how far my dollar will go, etc.
    It's too bad there are so few actual issues discussed. I tired of hearing ';he is a socialist';, he is a ';Muslim,'; she spent $150,000 on her wardrobe. Can we please talk about real issues?

    Where atheists disappointed that Obama and McCain meet for the first time on the campaign trail in a church?

    i know it was a while ago...but just curios...Where atheists disappointed that Obama and McCain meet for the first time on the campaign trail in a church?
    Somewhat. But the religious bloc is large, and it is difficult to avoid pandering to them.Where atheists disappointed that Obama and McCain meet for the first time on the campaign trail in a church?
    Since both candidates believe in God, they make personal prayer apart of their daily life, I think it is only natural that they meet in a church...often elections get bogged down by the zealotry of the campaign machine...there is a great deal of mud-slinging, of half-truths and even the occasional use of rumors...I think both candidates are taking time out to talk to God together (';where two or more are gathered in My name...';), because they know the struggle ahead for both may at times be filled with things God doesn't want people to do....or have to suffer...
    I think it just shows who runs the USA. Is it about social Justice? is it about how well each can run the economy? is it about truth? NO! its is about superstition and ignorance.

    Is Bill Clinton hurting Hillary on the campaign trail?

    He just goofed up again, going face to face with a heckler, on the campaign trail. I don't have a link, but it's on CNN now. I'm beginning to think that's why Al Gore didn't want him. Do you think he'll say or do something stupid before the election?Is Bill Clinton hurting Hillary on the campaign trail?
    I don't really see how he is helping her in any wayIs Bill Clinton hurting Hillary on the campaign trail?
    He already has and the more he's out the the more bold he will get.
    All he's doing is reminding American people that it is time for new blood in the white house. It depends on POV but I think that he isn't doing much to help Hillary
    Every time he speaks for her he shows that he will be more incharge than Hillary. I think he may have helped Al Gore, but only a little. If Hillary becomes nominee and Bill does say something stupid, Billary is going down.
    Absolutely, he's hurting her and will continue to do so because, as he's proven time and again, he just can't reign himself in, no matter what he's doing. Can you imagine what he'd be like as First Man??
    YES, ABSOLUTELY

I mean, the poor gay people are on the verge of rioting in fear that they will both put into effect a federal ban on gay marriage once they get into the White House and we can't have that! The truth is, that the McCain camp is really beginning to tick a LOT of people off right now and it seems that they have now raised the IRE of the Justice Dept. Let's see if anything happens though. We'll find out if the Republicans REALLY have control or not.

    What reforms eventually resulted from the Populist campaign?

    The Populists, or People's Party organized during the 1890s to secure political and economic reforms benefitting farmers and, to a lesser extent, industrial workers. The party ran its first presidential candidate in 1892 and adopted a platform calling for increased government regulation of the railroads, the substitution of income taxes for property taxes, the creation of government storage and credit facilities, labeled regional subtreasuries, that would loan farmers money while they waited for crop prices to rise, and the free coinage of silver in order to increase the nation's money supply.

  • Why did John McCain go to DC instead of being out on the campaign trail?

    did last nights debate convince him he doesn't have a chance?Why did John McCain go to DC instead of being out on the campaign trail?
    He is doing his JOB as a US Senator. This bill hinges on the House GOP. They want the burden placed on Wall Street, not the taxpayers. McCain is working with both sides to hammer out a solution.Why did John McCain go to DC instead of being out on the campaign trail?
    McCain cares about the country more than his campaign. Obama is following the instructions of his socialist backers and ignoring the needs of the country to try and promote his campaign. I admit Obama had nothing to offer in DC so why waste time going there. He is like a fish out of water without his teleprompters.
    Maybe because he's still on the US Taxpayer payroll as a Senator, has responsibilities and the US is in a huge financial crisis.





    He seems to be rising above politics and putting the country before his campaign. It's called integrity.
    Perhaps John McCain thinks his country is first and politics second? obama only thinks about himself and his and michelle's ambitions.
    Funny both senators SHOULD have been in DC until this matter is settled. Where was Obama for his JOB, you know the one WE pay him to work as after all the campaign trail is not his paid position.
    Oh I don't know maybe to do his Job he is still a sen. so is Obama but that must not mean anything to him right now he has his sights sit on destroying America and nothing not even his Job can stop him.

    Why is the Battle of Pozieres as significant to Australians as the Galipoli Campaign?

    In the words of Australian official historian Charles Bean, the Pozi猫res ridge is ';more densely sown with Australian sacrifice than any other place on earth.';





    The German commander ordered ';At any price Hill 160 Pozi猫res ridge must be recovered.';





    From their vantage in the O.G. Lines on the eastern edge of the Pozi猫res ridge, the Australians now looked over green countryside, the village of Courcelette close by and the woods around Bapaume five miles (8 km) away.





    Pozierers was a costly battle for the Australians, but the gains were tremendous. They had put real pressure on the Germans for the first time. They were looking at the back of the German lines, something the entire British and French Armies had not been able to accomplish the entire war.Why is the Battle of Pozieres as significant to Australians as the Galipoli Campaign?
    The significant loss of life and the displays of mateship and comradeship between the Australian soldiers.

    Need ideas for a direct marketing campaign for a lighting fixture?

    / lamps / electrical ligthing store... Thanks for letting me pick your brains!Need ideas for a direct marketing campaign for a lighting fixture?
    Make it unusual - maybe shaped like a lightbulb with the words





    ';Here's a Bright Idea';





    Then put brief details of your company at the bottom and invite them in to be ';illuminated';Need ideas for a direct marketing campaign for a lighting fixture?
    I am constantly receiving flyers in the mail. selling and promoting all sorts of services and products. MORE JUNK MAIL!!! Direct marketing is like fishing, you know there are lots of fish in the lake, but you throw in a line and hope to catch one. Direct marketing is the same. you let everybody know about your product and hopefully someone in that group will want it. If you want to advertise that way. your advertisement MUST stand out from all the others. You must first get them to read it. So pictures and as little writing as possible works best. To much information will make the customer glance over it. You're objective is to get them into your store!! where you can sell the products. Your direct marketing should focus on getting them to visit your store, Market the store, not the lights.


    As for some other marketing ideas.


    Consider, Doctors offices, Clinics, display/show homes, Hotels etc. Offer to loan/provide lamps (change regularly) for their waiting rooms etc. in exchange for them allowing you to place your company business card at the lamp base. Also place brochures in with the magazines.
