[HonestConservative]

Thank you.

Got it.

At last I can give up the Ambien.

Could Danforth be nore bored by this.

“Pillow Fight!!!!”

[traderrob6]

Indeed, now we have a plethora of “yammerers”

[Mac from Cleveland]

I don’t know if he’s spoken yet or not-but he hasn’t done much up till now. If/when he does, and it gets results, I’ll do cartwheels.

He’s had 2 debates with the whole country watching, and what’s he done?

Gee, maybe he’s just saving it up for his concession speech.

Anything from the press conference?

Anything?

[HonestConservative]

Thank you. I’ve been looking for an explanation of that.

Basically he gives you a tax credit of up to $5000 and then you have to use that to buy health care insurance and if you have any left over it goes into an account for out of pocket medical expenses. So instead of sending it to the government, you use it for your own health care. Somehow Obama has said this is a tax. Go figure. From McCain's website, which Obama is citing but distorting:

John McCain Will Reform The Tax Code To Offer More Choices Beyond Employer-Based Health Insurance Coverage. While still having the option of employer-based coverage, every family will receive a direct refundable tax credit - effectively cash - of $2,500 for individuals and $5,000 for families to offset the cost of insurance. Families will be able to choose the insurance provider that suits them best and the money would be sent directly to the insurance provider. *(This sentence was referred to in a recent untruthful attack ad by Barack Obama. Click here to read the facts.) Those obtaining innovative insurance that costs less than the credit can deposit the remainder in expanded Health Savings Accounts.

It hasn’t started yet.

It is just amazing how that spokeswoman can ignore every fact that has been investigated and proved that ACORN is registering people fraudulently. She says every registration is checked and the person is called to verify they were the person registered. So did ACORN call 48 times to verify the young man who was questioned yesterday by the election commission in Ohio?

I say she lied. I say they call no one!

I know Megan just want to call her a lier!

[A_Tradition_Continues]

Obama was in charge of the Project Vote/ACORN registration in 1990s in Chicago. Were there any false registrations then?

You've got to be kidding!!! It's CHICAGO!!! Even Jimmy Hoffa voted.

On the Fox Live Desktop thingy, they took down the “McCain Acorn Presser” feed, then changed it to “Acorn Presser”.

Did they have it wrong?

Is it Acorn that’s going to speak, and not McCain?

[beaversmom]

Ah crap, Fox is going to run a press conference from ACORN in a few minutes. That’s going to be propaganda free I’m sure.

[varina davis]

You might be right.

[SE Mom]

I have a headache now- it appears you’re correct- ACORN is going to have a press conf to defend all those nasty, ignorant accusations...this doesn’t appear to be a McCain press conf??

[apastron]

I think that the McCain campaign - represented by Danforth - had a presser, and now ACORN is having their own.

[freespirited]

It’s on CSPAN 2 now.

[Texas4ever]

thank you...i’ll go make some popcorn!

[Fishtalk]

I dunno. I think it was Megan Kelly who interviewed one of those ACORN creeps and she didn’t suffer any nonsense.

And why should they? These people pee upon our feet and tell us it’s raining. And we should smile and ask for more?

And hey, if these people are not out to steal an election than they fall on the backup plan. Which is to have three or four battleground states in question and to make the USA a mockery far worse than the Florida debacle.

ACORN guy speaking now. Of course they pick a nice normal looking white guy.

[Mac from Cleveland]

Maybe they’ll say nice things about McCain-one hand washes the other.
