Good evening, and welcome to the new week's thread.
We enter the last 3 weeks of the campaign, 1 debate to go, and a reported very large ad-buy by the McCain campaign.
Something, something... must happen soon to re-energize the R ranks and the candidate himself, altho NOT his running mate who continues full steam ahead.
In Nobama news, ACORN and his Rezko ties continue to draw some scrutiny, and perhaps by Patrick Fitzgerald in Chicago.
An oh yes, there's the economy and the markets, both here and worldwide...
Hello, hello....
Have you noticed that you pick “ATRW” in general chat, but the thread, at least initially, appears on the other side??
According to a blurb on World Net Daily, Yosemite Sam says he’s going to get tough Wednesday night in the final debate. Here’s the link........I hope it works.

Welcome, Tucker, to America - the Right Way!
Neets, prayers are continuing.
Thank you, Molly, for keeping us going every week. Lysie, your work and faithfulness to our thread is very much appreciated.

Tucker, good to see you here...Yosemite Sam...Ha, ha. I just LOVE Mark STeyn. I sure hope McCain gets tough, my goodness...this election seems to be between Mr. Weak, and Mr. Weaker..
Good evening.
Just passing through on my way to bed.
Hope y’all had a good weekend. See you in the morning!
Good morning. I’m going to find my local Acorn and register to vote.
By the way, Obama had not been running ads in TN since McCain was so far ahead. That changed this weekend.
>>More from Mark Steyn - good stuff to chew on... “A cold civil war”
Yep - I’m predicting a gunless Civil War where the country is put back the way it was.
We're all practicing for the coming malaise
>>The ad is the one where he promises tax breaks if you make under $250k
I’m considering going door-to-door and get signatures from people that if he breaks his promise we’ll break ours and not pay it.
Good morning.
And, tell me why O is running ads in Illinois!??
He has so much foreign money that he just doesn’t know what to do with it?

The Tax Foundation estimates that under the Obama plan 63 million Americans, or 44% of all tax filers, would have no income tax liability and most of those would get a check from the IRS each year. The Heritage Foundation's Center for Data Analysis estimates that by 2011, under the Obama plan, an additional 10 million filers would pay zero taxes while cashing checks from the IRS.From the WSJ Editorial Obama's 95% Illusion
I tried several times to post an article but it isn't working this morning. Maybe I have to pay my dues first?
It was French president Nicolas Sarkozy who actually uttered the words, but you could draw the same message from watching the televised debates in the United States at both the vice-presidential and presidential level. You know that America's founding economic philosophy is in deep trouble when candidates for our nation's highest office refer easily to "Wall Street greed" and "predatory lenders" to explain the global financial crisis. And those are the Republicans.Where are the champions of free-market capitalism? Someone needs to remind us all that two great works were published in 1776, both representing game-changing advances in human freedom: The Declaration of Independence, authored by future American president, Thomas Jefferson, and "The Wealth of Nations" by Scottish economist Adam Smith. Both embrace the social wisdom of individual liberty; both extol the importance of personal responsibility.
Testing........
Tried to post something a few minutes ago and it wouldn’t go.....
Good Morning Everyone!
One of the biggest regrets of my life is that when I got the call asking me to go to Florida in 2000 to assist with the hanging chad observation, I turned them down.
I am going to have my bags packed and ready to roll on Nov 5

Well, I’ve posted, but it isn’t showing up, even when I refresh.
In any event, Good Morning to all. FR appears to be constipated this morning.
Good morning.
Only in America are they so equally balanced. Elsewhere in the West, the true believers in the Nanny State have long since prevailed.
Democrats and Republicans have become two solitudes, and so, the result of the election will be ugly, no matter which side wins.
If McCain wins, the left will indeed get ugly. If zeroman wins, that half of the country will be horrified.
If McCain wins, the left will certainly get ugly. If zeroman wins though, the right will be only be horrified.
Good morning Dawn Patrol, hope this post goes through this time as it's the second try I've made on it.
Good morning.
Toby, this ping is to help you find the thread.

Good morning.
Toby, here’s a ping to help you find the new thread.
Oh, this is irritating. My threads aren’t refreshing! For some reason, no new posts are showing up at all. That’s why I posted “good morning” twice. I’m betting I won’t see this post either.
I must have a virus.
I cannot access any posts past #11, yet I can see there are more posts there.
He’s feeling mighty confident.
Raven, and McCain's back in MI...huh?, huh??? /sarc...
everyone, hello...had a little "cold" feeling last night, and really slept in this a.m.
This is really weird. I’ve switched computers and there are no page updates on this computer, too. So maybe it isn’t the computer, but maybe it’s FR. I’m moving to the Yahoo site.
I can see on the ping page that there are new posts to ATRW but I can’t get to them. Weird!
Fighting a cold this a.m., so I think I'll take it easy
Is FR broken? nothing seems to have updated since 4 am?
I also heard that many people have already voted absentee or by early voting....so, even if the messiah falls on his empty head, he will still receive a percentage of the votes.
McCain jolly well better get tough! Let's hope, that if he does, the dumbed down electorate will understand him.

Thanks for the start , Molly.
I’ve been trying to post, but been unable to! This is a test...again...
I have posted twice and it isn’t showing up. Trying again.
Where are you guys? I try to post but it doesn’t show up anywhere :-(
Good Morning Molly. Thank you and lysie for getting us together each day. You two are like blue-white diamonds without flaws.
Yes, at times I have noticed that.
.....That changed this weekend......
I live in Tri cities and it did in fact change. I assumed the change and the Obama ads were directed north into Virginia.
“By the way, Obama had not been running ads in TN since McCain was so far ahead. That changed this weekend”
YES, he also started running ads in Oklahoma...where we are 66% for McCain.......I guess he’s got plenty of money to spend. Amazing.....
This is test. I posted breakfast and a reply to Molly’s question, but I don’t see either. Test!
I am having a tough time finding todays post,,,,,Me? ‘puter’?
HELP! HELP! SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME! CAN NOT FIND TODAYS POSTS!
