McCain's Prospects Depend on Telling Truth About Obama
Townhall.com ^ | October 14, 2008 | Phyllis Schlafly

Posted on 10/13/2008 10:51:52 PM PDT by Kaslin

The media are piling on against John McCain and some pundits are predicting it's all over, that Barack Obama has somehow won the election. As the old saying goes, it's not over until the fat lady sings, and it's high time for the fat lady to sing about Obama's scary agenda and the many reasons why it is too risky to elect him president.

We need to hear more about ACORN, the special-interest group that would like to steal this election by registering people who are not eligible to vote, such as registering ghost voters in Nevada under the names of the Dallas Cowboys. Obama's years of close association with ACORN need to be known to the public.

We should hear more about Obama's political friend William Ayers, the unrepentant bomber and Ward Churchill-type professor, who has a really scary plan to remake the curriculum of public schools in order to turn kids into radical socialists like himself. Obama helped deliver big bucks to Ayers' radical education project in Chicago.

Obama has already introduced one bill in the U.S. Senate called "Positive Behavior for Effective Schools Act," which would implement Ayers' social-outcome notions, and another to teach kindergartners Al Gore's propaganda about climate change. Voters should be reminded that Obama has called for making "sure your child can speak Spanish."

We need to have further explanations of the hateful attitudes Obama expressed in his autobiography "Dreams from My Father." We need further investigation of author Jack Cashill's evidence that this book was actually ghost-written by William Ayers.

The media have carefully crafted the several presidential debates to avoid two issues that are helpful to John McCain and hurtful to Obama: immigration and abortion. Let's get those issues out on the table.

Voters need to know that Obama favors giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. This practice is so unpopular with the voters that it brought down the political career of New York's recent unlamented Gov. Eliot Spitzer and caused the recall of California Gov. Gray Davis.

The one debate where the abortion issue was discussed was at Saddleback Church where Obama revealed his unacceptable attitude with the stupid statement that a discussion of the personhood of an unborn baby is above his pay grade. What's really above his pay grade is the job of U.S. president and commander in chief.

Four-dollar gasoline at the pump and the need for energy independence by drilling for American oil could be the No. 1 issue in the 2008 election. It should be hammered home to the voters that McCain and Sarah Palin are on the right side of this issue and Obama is wrong.

American voters need to be told that the current financial crisis was caused by the liberal policies of men who are mostly Democrats. A September 30, 1999, news article in the New York Times explained how Fannie Mae, under its then chairman and Clinton-appointee Franklin D. Raines, took on "significantly more risk" by demanding that the banks give subprime mortgages to low-income people who could not afford the houses they were buying.

By the end of the Clinton administration, 44 percent of the loans purchased by Fannie Mae were these risky mortgages. ACORN accelerated this practice by getting unemployed people to demonstrate in bank lobbies, demanding that more mortgages be given to people without adequate credit.

Good U.S. manufacturing jobs were moving overseas years before the current financial crunch. The Clinton administration globalists, the policies of Clinton's Wall Street friends such as Robert Rubin, and the trade agreements that discriminate against American workers and products are all part of our current economic distress.

The American people should be reminded that everything Barack Obama proposes will require higher taxes. Only tax reduction and the encouragement of good U.S. jobs will promote economic recovery, not tax increases or taxpayer bailouts of the billions lost by avoidable mistakes.

State amendments for traditional marriage are repeatedly adopted by the voters. The public should be reminded that Obama opposes these amendments and said he "respects" the outrageous California same-sex marriage decision.

The Democratic Platform adds, "We oppose the Defense of Marriage Act." DOMA is one of the most popular laws ever passed by Congress; it protects us from judges who try to force other states to accept the gay mischief of Massachusetts, California, and Connecticut.

The voters should be reminded that Barack Obama is promising all kinds of costly benefits to be paid for by the already burdened taxpayers, such as his bill to implement "the U.S. Millennium Development Goals, which aim to cut extreme poverty in half by 2015" and "double" our annual spending for this goal.

Voters, not polls or pundits, will decide this presidential election. It's time to make sure the voters have as much information as possible about the candidates.

It is like the campaign has not recovered ever since Obama Saul Alinskyied the bailout meeting by derailing it before the 1st debate.

Time for payback. Time to call Obama out on Black Liberation Theology, Wright, Rezko, Odinga, Frank Marshall Davis and ACORN/CRA/Economic crisis.

With the economy the way it is, the priority among voters is $. Who with business experience was the only chance for the Republicans to win? And he got crap canned because he wasn’t a ‘christian’ but a ‘mormon’. Hope everyone enjoys the next 8 years of socialism.

Let the flaming commence....

Where the hell is Romney, Huckabee, et.al.... trying to support this party’s ticket! They are worse than traitors. Even Hillary is supporting her party’s ticket as despicable as it is!!! I am so freakin’ tired of this personal ambition that seems to trump the needs of the country.

The RINO wing, conservative wing,
Christian wing, righter wing ... whatever... better freakin’ step it up and show the people that they DO CARE about more than their own personal ambition! They should get their butts out on the stump and make the case against this socialist take over of our country!
Or they should just screw off.... and I better never hear them open their PIE holes again!

(Sorry for use of Pie, I know it’s one of the ONE’s favorite things)

Telling truth about OSSABAMA and about ALL THE ISSUES.
Takle OSSBAMA on every issues,hese lies,flip-flops,misunderstandings...

McCAIN didn’t attack O. on his weak foreign policy and understanding of the world stage and iSSlamo-terrorism.
It’s not enough to stay focused on IRAK,the “surge” and AFGHANISTAN...

Senator John S. McCain has the power to bring the Obama campaign to a screetching halt. He has not done so for reasons known only to himself.

Senator Obama promised transparency. He has stonewalled on, 1) producing his birth certificate, 2) producing his medical records, and 3) producing his university records. All those documents have one thing in common: they state where a person was born!

The problem with witholding documents is that not everyone who is tasked with maintaining vault records is a passionate partisan supporter of the person wishing to hide their records.

So, information has leaked out concerning the vault copy of his Hawaiian birth certificate - it doesn’t exist. And the contents of Senator Obama’s entry submission to Harvard states that he was born in Kenya.

Does McCain truly believe in the oath he took to uphold the US Constitution? Doesn’t protecting our nation involve exposing the truth about a possible illegal alien poseur? I really wonder why Senator McCain has been hesitant to move against Senator Obama.

for McCain to mention Ayers he needs to say AYERS GAVE OBAMA HIS FIRST JOB.

OBAMA was responsible for the money TO RADICALIZE students.

What kind of a lawyer, what kind of american administers a program to teach students to kill their parents?

while we are at it:

what kind of a lawyer pushed to have FM/FM engage in HIGH RISK SUBPRIME LOANS?

BTW folks does ANYONE realize that the finanacial markets we have not did not exist in 1932? (we also did not have computer trading, blackberrys, cellphones, laptops, online trading)

He is going to have to FIGHT and be SEEN FIGHTING

perception is reality.

Another thing that should be pointed out regularly is that Obama has promised that the first bill he will sign will be the FOCA “Freedom of Choice Act”. This bill not only declares abortion at any time and for any reason to be legal and prevents states or lower jurisdictions from restricting abortion in any way, but also removes all conscience clauses that protect individuals and institutions. In other words, Catholic institutions per se will be forced to go out of business, as will any others that as a matter of policy do not permit abortions. Individual doctors and medical personnel who are now excused from participating in abortions for reasons of conscience will also be forced to participate in them.

This is an evil act in so many ways that it’s hard to know where to begin. And Barry has already promised that it will be the FIRST one he signs.

No one is focusing on another thing that this brings to light, the totalitarian, vindictive quality of Obama’s vision. He doesn’t simply want to win: he wants to destroy his opponent. This is typical of today’s left. If Obama gets in, this will become government policy in ways that we cannot even imagine because they conflict so greatly with what America was meant to be. I am really sick when I think about it.

........McCain probably told Thompson, Hunter, Tancredo to get lost..............

You got that right. This is the cockamamie idea of McC's braintrust----the nitwit pukeneos. The pukes prefer McC suck up to Lieberman, RINO Giuliani and amnesty-pusher Hernandez.

The pukes are a tiny group of conservative-haters, obsessed with religious cleansing of the Repub Party. The puke game is have McC look like a borderline liberal who is a sap-happy "bi-partisan" candidate. Conservatives are not wanted. Thanks to the pukes, McC is losing.

Puke stooge Lieberman is touted as McC's top surrogate AT THE SAME TIME Lieb writes out a $100,000 check to Dems to protect his creds. Lieberman is a calculating, deceitful conman. The Ntl Right to Life Committee has notes circa 1988 when he ran for the Senate. BACKSTORY Based on an internal Lieberman poll indicating pro-life votes were there for the taking, Lieberman courted Catholics, and made pro-life promises that he had no intention of keeping. (He was then Atty General running for pro-abort Sen Weicker's seat.)

LIEberman swore he was pro-life and made many, many pro-life pledges to Connecticut pro-life leaders. Lieberman got into the Senate----thanks to the efforts of pro-lifers and Catholic clergy who were conned by Lieberman (ol' Joe must be right proud of that con job that got him elected). Once in office, Lieberman became an unwavering abortion rights supporter, voting consistently pro-abortion, and even voting to uphold partial-birth abortion on six separate occasions.

Lieberman is notorious for being on both sides of the political fence. He says one thing to make people believe he's a "moderate" when his votes show he does the exact opposite---does that sound familiar, Sen McCain?

EXAMPLE Lieberman and ex-Reagan Education Secy Bill Bennett used to give out "Silver Sewer Awards" to express opposition to Hollywood's salacious, sexually explicit and violent music, TV and movie output. Then when Sen Lieberman became Vice-president Gore's running mate, he went to Hollywood on bended knee, promising to strengthen Hollywood's ultra-liberal control over America, in exchange for votes and campaign financing.

EXAMPLE During Clinton's impeachment, Lieberman went on and on, railing against Bad Boy Bill---but when it came time to put his money where his mouth was---LIEberman sucked up and voted AGAINST impeachment.

The Lieberman-puke scourge has gone on too long. The pukes vile conservative-hatred is losing the race for McC.
