    So how do you feel about Obama saying he has had no affiliation with ACORN. An obvious lie.

    I think Palin is getting a semi-pass because of the non-viability of the ticket-- sort of like the mercy rule in women's softball.

    THIS is a pretty good investigative piece that questions whether Palin's half million dollar home was built for free by the guys that built the 12 million dollar Wasilla sports facility during the same time period. I think the National spotlight is shining right on the seediest parts of the Mayor of Peyton Place. I'd be surprised if her career, let alone her ticket, can survive it.

    They are ALL a bunch of liars and thieves. I just can't decide if they were that way before politics, or a product of their environment.

    Either way, anybody who runs for a major ticket job under one of the 2 main parties in this country can't be trusted.

    Senator Obama has disclosed his relations with ACORN, past and present, fully. He represented them in a court case 13 years ago, a case in which ACORN was on the same side as the Justice Department and the League of Women Voters. He has given them training courses in get-out-the-vote methods, each of which involved approximately two hours of work and for which he was not paid. He knows some of their leaders from his days in community work in Chicago. That's pretty normal.

    Don't buy into this All-ACORN-All-the-Time coverage that Fox and the Neo-Con attack organs are trying to put over on you. It's a political witch hunt. They're accusing ACORN of voter registration fraud -- not voter fraud, mind you, but voter registration fraud. There's a huge difference. They hired some people to register voters, who forged some forms to get more money. ACORN tagged the fraudulent forms, but they had to turn them in, by law. There is, by the way, solid evidence that fraudulent registrations are virtually never used for casting fraudulent votes.

    This is all part of McCain's Weapons of Mass Distraction strategy for his campaign. He can't run on the issues, so he gives us his daily dose of media sewage to distract our attention from the fact that he doesn't have a clue.

    McCain said it himself the other day: Obama is a decent man. You may disagree with him, which I can respect, but don't buy this other crap. There's nothing to it.

    I don't want to hijack this thread so maybe you guys should just stick with the Palin bashing.

    Edit: I also agree almost 100% with joke1176

    Shavers,

    I believe there is only one choice for this year's election. We need a president who is not afraid of nothing and does not take gruff off of no one. Actually, the only thing he's afraid of is banks, and well, in today's economy that might just be the right thing to do.

    I'm making the right choice this November, I'm voting for Andrew Jackson.
