   Dobson, Soros. Opposite end of the spectrum. Which is better, which is worse? both are bad for the country.
   Actually, I personally feel that Dobson is far more dangerous than Soros. Some of his followers are true and certified nut cases! Neither understands nor respects the constitution. In fact, McCain has veep candidate who appears to have never even read it, as she sure thinks she’s got some powers in there that are not!

    Soros is way more dangerous. Dobson has some bad and some good ideas. Soros is basically all bad. Some of Dobson’s followers are kooks, but Dobson himself didn’t endorse anyone until Mitt dropped out of the race. He didn’t have the political courage to endorse Mitt, but it was sort of implied Mitt was the guy he agreed with the most. Anyway, you have Dobson who has SOME anti-Mormon, anti-Catholic followers, or you have Soros who would want all religion outlawed.

    I just caught the infomercial Well done.

    I voted for Obama. Not because I think he’s going to be an excellent president. I know he won’t be, and will be surprised if he even veers for a few minutes, to the middle right. BUT, I cannot see any reason whatsoever to reward MCCain with my vote. He has not earned it. He has not been honest.

    Dobbson way more dnagerous. Second in line would be Rick warren. I am offended that both candidates had to go kiss his ring.

    Another conservative breaks from McCain

    Why I Can’t Vote for John McCain
    I admire the man, but his party has been taken over by anti-intellectual extremists.

    By Anne Applebaum

    http://www.slate.com/id/2203125/

    “The larger point, though, is that if I’m not voting for McCain—and, after a long struggle, I’ve realized that I’m not—maybe it’s worth explaining why, because I suspect there are other independent voters who feel the same way. It’s not his campaign, disjointed though that’s been, that finally repulses me; it’s his rapidly deteriorating, increasingly anti-intellectual, no longer even recognizably conservative Republican Party. His problems are not technical, to do with ads, fund raising, and tactics, as some have suggested. They are institutional, to do with his colleagues, his advisers, and his supporters.”

    “The appointment of Sarah Palin—inspired by his closest colleagues—turned out not to be a “maverick” move but, rather, a concession to those Republicans who think foreign policy can be conducted using a series of clichés and those in his party who shout down the federal government while quietly raking in federal subsidies. Though McCain has the one of the best records of bipartisanship in the Senate, he has let his campaign appeal to his party’s extremes. Though he is a true foreign-policy intellectual, his supporters cultivate ignorance and fear: Watch Sean Hannity’s “Obama & Friends: History of Radicalism” if you don’t believe me. Worse, in a fatal effort to appeal to the least thoughtful, most partisan elements of his base, McCain has moved away from his previous positions on torture and immigration.”

    “Mormons do not come to work nursing hangovers, and they are inclined to stay put in the promised land rather than pursue better-paying jobs elsewhere. Matthew Donthnier, who is hiring for a new Procter & Gamble plant, has only one complaint about the local workforce: it can be a little difficult to persuade people to toil on Sundays.”

    Former National Review Editor and Publisher Wick Allison gives his reasons for not backing McCain anymore.

    http://www.dmagazine.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?nm=Core+Pages&type=gen&mod=Core+Pages&tier=3&gid=B33A5C6E2CF04C9596A3EF81822D9F8E

    “This kind of conservatism, which is not conservative at all, has produced financial mismanagement, the waste of human lives, the loss of moral authority, and the wreckage of our economy that McCain now threatens to make worse.”

    “Barack Obama is not my ideal candidate for president. (In fact, I made the maximum donation to John McCain during the primaries, when there was still hope he might come to his senses.) But I now see that Obama is almost the ideal candidate for this moment in American history. I disagree with him on many issues. But those don’t matter as much as what Obama offers, which is a deeply conservative view of the world. Nobody can read Obama’s books (which, it is worth noting, he wrote himself) or listen to him speak without realizing that this is a thoughtful, pragmatic, and prudent man. It gives me comfort just to think that after eight years of George W. Bush we will have a president who has actually read the Federalist Papers.”

    Don Luskin promotes the value of keeping senate and congressional seats, amongst other Republican candidates:

    The Wall Street Journal, September 12, 2008

    Divided Government Is Best for the Market

    “Then there are the various party mixes between the president and Congress. If John McCain wins and we have a Republican president and a Democratic Congress, history leads us to expect an average 10.3% total return from stocks and 3.3% real GDP growth. If Barack Obama wins, and we have a Democratic Congress too, then according to history stocks will average 13.8%, and real GDP growth 3.3%.

    But that’s no argument for voting for Mr. Obama. Vote for Mr. McCain — but vote for Republican senators and representatives too. When Republicans have controlled the whole government, it blows away anything Democrats can do. Stocks have averaged 17.5% and real GDP growth 3.3%.”

    A Perfect Storm
    by Thomas Sowell
    Thursday, Oct 30, 2008
    http://townhall.com/columnists/ThomasSowell/2008/10/30/a_perfect_storm

    Some elections are routine, some are important and some are historic. If Senator John McCain wins this election, it will probably go down in history as routine. But if Senator Barack Obama wins, it is more likely to be historic– and catastrophic.

    Once the election is over, the glittering generalities of rhetoric and style will mean nothing. Everything will depend on performance in facing huge challenges, domestic and foreign.

    Performance is where Barack Obama has nothing to show for his political career, either in Illinois or in Washington.

    Obama’s Dangerous Alignments
    by Ken Blackwell (Townhall.com)
    Thursday, Oct 30, 2008
    http://townhall.com/columnists/KenBlackwell/2008/10/30/obamas_dangerous_alignments

    Last week an enemy of the United States spoke out and endorsed an American presidential candidate – Senator Barack Obama. Taken with other recent developments, voters should be deeply disturbed with this embrace of Mr. Obama’s campaign to become the U.S. commander- in-chief.

    Ali Larijani is the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, and was Iran’s representative to the United Nations who kept that international body from taking action regarding Iran’s program to expand its nuclear capabilities. On October 22, Speaker Larijani said that the regime in Iran would like to see Mr. Obama elected president.

    Mr. Larijani is not the first hostile foreign leader to endorse or be aligned with Mr. Obama. In April, top Hamas advisor Ahmed Yousef also endorsed Mr. Obama. Mr. Obama’s long-time associate and self-described Marxist, Bill Ayers, actively backs him. Mr. Obama’s mentor and two-decade long spiritual leader, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, traveled to Libya to meet with the controversial Moammar Gadhafi. His church published a pro-Hamas piece on Rev. Wright’s “Pastor’s Page.” The article defended terrorism against Israel and denied Israel’s right to exist.

    Mr. Obama’s political alignments are alarming.

    Terrorist leaders never endorsed Bill Clinton, or Al Gore, or John Kerry. And to the best of my knowledge, terrorist leaders have never publicly supported a major party presidential nominee—until now.

    There’s more. The L.A. Times has video of Barack Obama toasting an anti-Israel activist associated with the Palestinians, and standing by as an anti-Semitic poem was read. We don’t know the details, because the L.A. Times—which has endorsed Mr. Obama—refuses to allow anyone to see the video.

    I use to love coming to this site every day to get the latest Mitt news, then some time ago-maybe a month or two, I removed it from my home page and stayed away. Why? I just couldn’t take all of the negative-McCain-pro-obama crap that I was reading. Yesterday I was listening to Rush and he read a post on a site called HillBuzz by a Sara P. (not that Sara P!) who is an Obama campaign person explaining how they infiltrate conservative websites to dishearten conservatives, hoping for an Obama win in Nov. Hillbuzz is a pro Hillary group who are tired of the way their party has been treating HC. It made me think of just what I had been reading here. It’s on this page about half way down http://hillbuzz.wordpress.com/ very interesting, right chris? steven?

    Confession of an Obama Blogger - by Sarah P (as posted to this site)

    Ok, I want to clear my conscious a little. Hopefully you could make a blog post to help some fellow clinton supporters out.

    I work for a campaign and can’t wait for this week to be over.

    I was doing it for a job. I was not a fan of any candidate but over time grew to love HRC.

    The internal campaign idea is to twist, distort, humiliate and finally dispirit you.

    We pay people and organize people to go to all the online sites and “play the part of a clinton or mccain supporter who just switched our support for obama”

    We do this to stifle your motivation and to destroy your confidence.

    We did this the whole primary and it worked.

    Sprinkle in mass vote confusion and it becomes bewildering. Most people lose patience and just give up on their support of a candidate and decide to just block out tv, news, websites, etc.

    This surprisingly has had a huge suppressing movement and vote turnout issues.

    Next, we infiltrate all the blogs and all the youtube videos and overwhelm the voting, the comments, etc. All to continue this appearance of overwhelming world support.

    People makes posts to the effect that the world has “gone mad”

    Thats the intention. To make you feel stressed and crazy and feel like the world is ending.

    We have also had quite a hand in skewing many many polls, some we couldn’t control as much as we would have liked. But many we have spoiled over. Just enough to make real clear politics look scarey to a mccain supporter. Its worked, alough the goal was to appear 13-15 points ahead.

    see, the results have been working. People tend to support a winner, go with the flow, become “sheeple”

    The polls are roughly 3-5 points in favor of Barack. Thats due to our inflation of the polls and pulling in the sheeple.

    Our donors, are the same people who finance the MSM. Their interests are tied, Barack then tends to come across as teflon. Nothing sticks. And trust, there were meetings with Fox news. The goal was to blunt them as much as possible. Watch Bill Oreilly he has become much more diplomatic and “fair and balanced” and soft. Its because he wants to retain the #1 spot on cable news and to do that he has to have access to the Obama campaign and we worked hard at stringing him a long and keeping him soft for an interview swap. It worked and now he is anticipating more access. So he is playing it still soft.

    This is why nothing sticks.

    The operation is massive, the goal is to paint a picture that is that of a winner, regardless of the results.

    There is no true inauguration draft or true grant park construction going on. There will be a party, but we are boasting beyond the truth to make it seem like the election is wrapped up.

    Our goal is to continue to make you lose your moral. We worked hard at persuasion and paying off and timing and playing the right political numbers to get key republican endorsements to make it seem even more like it was over and the world was coming to an end for you all.

    There is a huge staff of people working around the clock, watching every site, blogs, etc. We flood these sites. We have had a goal to overwhelm.

    The truth is here. I could go on and on, but you get the picture.

    I am saying this because I know HRC was better for the country, and now realize this. I was too late by the time I connected to her. To me Barack was just a cool young dude that seemed like a star. I didn’t know him or his policies, but now I understand more than I care to and I realize his interests are more for him, and the DNC and all working like puppets with dean. I always thought a president wanted the better good for the country. The end result I see is everyone dependent on the government, this means more and more people voting for the DNC. This means the future is forever altered. I don’t see this as america, so I am now supporting John Mccain.

    Sarah Palin is a huge threat, and our campaign has feared her like you can’t imagine. If it seems unfair how she has been treated, well its because she has had a team working round the clock to make her look like a fool.

    this is a big conspiracy and I am so shocked that its not realized.

    We released a little blurb the other day that the Obama campaign was already working on reelection and now putting our efforts towards 2012. This was to make it seem like it was above us to continue caring about 2008. Trust me, its a lie. David is very smart, but its a sticky ugly not very truthful kind of intelligence.

    Its not over yet, but I think the machine is working. And its a hill to climb.

    I will be quitting my post on nov 5th and my vote will be for John Mccain. Fortunately, my position has been a marketing position and I don’t feel I had any part of anything I would feel guilty for. But I look forward to getting out of this as the negativity and environment upsets me.

    I wish you all well, and goodluck.

    PS my name is not really sarah. but I am a female and I understand your plight.

    and a follow up from Lisa Schiffren at NRO

    What if it’s really close?

    “Rush Limbaugh highlighted this yesterday, and it’s subsequently getting picked up on the blogosphere today. It is, putatively, the work of a repentant Hillary staffer who moved to the Obama campaign and is appalled by what she’s learned of their deviousness and scheming, and a little ashamed of the way they tried to destroy Sarah Palin. The piece is not sourced — so it’s not clear who wrote it, or, therefore, the goal. But it makes two interesting points; one, that the O campaign understood Palin as an asset rather than a drag from the start. Two — that, according to internal polls, many swing states are much closer than public polls indicate, some perhaps leaning right, partly because conservatives don’t talk to pollsters — on the phone or at the exit. The perhaps real blogger makes the clearly true point that there has been a concerted effort to psych out Republicans and suppress McCain votes. Not entirely new news — but an interesting, telling summary.

    So what happens if/when Tuesday night is too close to call? It seems pretty possible that there will be more than one state in contention for a while. This time the GOP is prepared in many places to contest the kind of election fraud that the Democrats have been known to run against us — and each other. Voters are better able to communicate quickly with the media.

    I’ve read all the liberal predictions — or is it hopes? — of blood in the streets. And yes, if the psy-ops quotient of the Obama campaign is as high as we are coming to understand, and his inevitibility much less certain than claimed — it is easy to imagine a great disappointment in the African American community. After all, it is one thing to have the first candidate of one’s race in a serious contest. But when you’ve been led to believe your guy is inevitable, it’s hard to comprehend an honest loss.

    If John McCain finds himself slugging it out in the end game, I would love to have confidence that he will fight as hard as he can for the job. This would not be the moment for some kind of noble self-sacrifice on the altar of race relations, or someone else’s idea of the greater national good. Nope. This is a dead serious fight about the economy, national security, and the basic question of how much state control of our lives and choices is appropriate. The greater good is to win and to preserve our strength and rebuild what needs rebuilding. McCain really is a man with bi-partisan inclinations. He believes in reconciliation. This time that should come after winning, and only then.”
