            <title>Palin Deliberately Infiltrated GOP by Independence Party</title>
            <description>AIP&#039;s creation was inspired by the rabidly violent anti-Americanism of its founding father Joe Vogler, &quot;I&#039;m an Alaskan, not an American,&quot; reads a favorite Vogler quote on AIP&#039;s current website, &quot;I&#039;ve got no use for America or her damned institutions.&quot; According to Vogler AIP&#039;s central purpose was to drive Alaska&#039;s secession from the United States. Alaska, says current Chairwoman Lynette Clark, &quot;should be an independent nation.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;
Vogler was murdered in 1993 during an illegal sale of plastic explosives that went bad. The prior year, he had renounced his allegiance to the United States explaining that, &quot;The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government.&quot; He cursed the stars and stripes, promising, &quot;I won&#039;t be buried under their damned flag...when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home.&quot; Palin has never denounced Vogler or his detestable anti-Americanism. &lt;br /&gt;
Palin&#039;s husband Todd remained an AIP party member from 1995 to 2002. Sarah can be described in McCarthy-era palaver as a &quot;fellow traveler.&quot; While retaining her Republican registration, she attended the AIP&#039;s 1994 convention where the party called for a draft constitution to secede from the United States and create an independent nation of Alaska. The McCain Campaign has reluctantly acknowledged that she also attended AIP&#039;s 2000 Convention. She apparently found the experience so inspiring that she agreed to give a keynote address at the AIP&#039;s 2006 convention and she recorded a video greeting for this year&#039;s 2008 convention. In other words, this is not something that happened when she was eight! &lt;br /&gt;

            <title>To the elderly and disabled on Medicare/Medicaid,</title>
            <description>I am curious if you who are supporting John McCain knows he plans to cut Medicare and Medicaid during his Presidency?  I am specifically curious of those elderly people living in Florida, Ohio, and deep south if you prefer to vote for cut in your livlihood just to keep from voting for someone whose plan is to not tax you at all? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s simple:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
McCain      you will pay taxes on your income and insurance coverage but your income will cut as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Obama       you will keep your Medicare/Medicaid income and you will not pay taxes at all.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The news media reported on this yesterday, but I do not think they are showing it enough because I am sure Medicare/Medicaid recipients - like myself - cannot afford a cut in our income.</description>

            <title>Proof that McCain Camp does not put Country First</title>
            <description>McCain and Palin&#039;s theme is they put country first.  Palin has been campaigning that Obama POSSIBLY associated with a terrorist. Well here is proof that Sarah Palin herself actually PARTICIPATED with a group who does not want to in America.  Notice the title over her head, it says ALASKA FIRST.  Most importantly, this group had a convention THIS YEAR AND SARAH PALIN IS DOING THE WELCOMING SPEECH THIS YEAR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
@@@ Heres Palin from THIS year addressing the Alaskan Independance Party.... Alaska First! not country first.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.akip.org/conv08.html&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember, this group was founded by a man who actually said I HATE AMERICA and Sarah is doing the welcoming speech?  Everyone O.K with this from a possible Vice President of America?</description>

            <title>McCain/Palin KKK Rally</title>
            <description>The tone of McCain and Palin&#039;s rallies lately are starting to appear to be like the KKK rallies in America&#039;s not-so-distant past.  This concerns me because they have supporters out there publicly shouting &quot;Kill Him&quot; and McCain and Palin are enjoying this display.  They are inciting domestic terrorism.  Does he really want to go there?  The only thing that was lacking was white hoods and nooses. John McCain should realize that he represents White America and is sending a clear message to all minorities in America that this is what we do to keep you out of our White House.  All Americans should contact their representatives to denounce this racial display - especially from someone who is trying to become the top leader of America.  I have already sent messages to John McCain and Congress denouncing this activity because I am sure America does not want to return to the days of Martin Luther King. Minorities should send a clear message to congress, as well, that we have every right to pursue the Presidency of the United States without candidates inciting death threats because of our race.</description>

            <title>McCain to cut Medicare and Medicaid</title>

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/06/mccain-plans-to-cut-medic_n_132169.html&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So all you elderly people (and disabled people) who just can&#039;t stomach voting for Obama.  Look at what McCAin is going to do for you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, by the way, choosing Barr and Nader or not voting at all, still helps McCain which means you could end up with your livelihood cut.  &lt;br /&gt;
Vote Obama for your Mama.</description>

            <title>POLITICAL CARTOON</title>
            <description>PICTURE THIS, There is this innocent creature called working class citizen caught in this animal trap labeled Bush Economics.  She is in pain and struggling to get free.  Her children standing by frightened and hungry hoping mother can get free to tend to them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along comes Sen. Obama who says, &quot;Let me help you by freeing you from that trap, but you have got to stop trying to bite so I can help you,&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The struggling creature continues to bite at Obama and replies, &quot;No, you cannot help me because you are Black&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then Sen. Biden says, &quot;Then let me help you by freeing you from the trap?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The poor struggling creature replies, &quot;No, you are with the Black guy and you&#039;re not a woman.  I prefer to wait for McCain/Palin because&lt;br /&gt;
hopefully McCain will drop and then I will have a woman for POTUS to help me&quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The creatures children look at each other in surprise and disgust saying, &quot;What the F?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sen. McCain drives up with a truck load of shiny new Bush Economics traps on his truck.  On each new trap, the word &quot;Bush&quot; had one line drawn through it and the word &quot;McCain&quot; was written over it. The struggling mother&#039;s starving children saw the traps and cried, &quot;Screw This&quot; and ran off into the woods to save themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
McCain looked down at the struggling mother and she cried, &quot;Finally , you have come to help me.  Please hurry.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sen. MccAin said, &quot;Let me tell you how I will help you.  I am going shake up Washington and I am going to go against Bush Economics.  Now, don&#039;t pay any attention to my little collection piled on my truck. (wink wink).  Did I mention I was a POW?  I think I will let my PRESIDENTIAL candidate - oops VICE presidential candidate Sarah Palin speak for me now.  Sarah?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The disappointed creature turned with hope in her heart to Sarah Palin because she is a woman who was a lot like her so the creature knew her help was finally there.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There stands Sarah Palin looking down a rifle scope, pointed at the creature saying, &quot;Now just stand still.  I have experience.  I will get you out of that trap and collect a bounty for each of your paws.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The end of the story is Obama moves to Hawaii with his family and lives a successful life with his Harvard Law Degree.  His daugthers received a good education and Sasha did become the first Black female President of the United States.  Biden returned to live a successful life - still catching that train home everyday to his loving family.  HIs son returns home safely from Iraq because Bush continued to follow all of Obama suggestons and did get the troops out of Iraq.  McCain had a dehabilitating stroke and resides the rest of days on Geritol Therapy is swank nursing home.  Cindy ran off with Sarah&#039;s husband.  Palin (due to McCain&#039;s stroke) did become President but continued to utilize her office trying to get back at her ex-brother-in-law at government expense.  Iran leader did gain control of America but we all had plenty of jobs working in his nuclear war plants. Oh, what happened to the creature?  The last I saw, she was still in that now rusty trap with lead poisoning - no health care to treat her.  Her childen ran off into the woods to fend for themselves and are now the products of the wilds because they never got a decent education to succeed in life.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note:  this would have been a hilarious cartoon except it is possible reality.</description>

            <title>GOP MAY USE HOME FORECLOSURES SUPPRESS VOTES</title>
            <description>Democrat voters who may be under a home foreclosure need to beware.  There is an article out (Think it is huffingtonpost.com) that the GOP in MICHIGAN (OF ALL STATES) may try to suppress Democrat votes if voter is under a home foreclosure.  Here is how it works (somewhat legally).  The voter&#039;s registration is attached to a particular address when it is certified, right?  If that home at that address is under foreclosure proceedings, then the voter&#039;s registration can be challenged on election day.  Since Michigan has been hit hard with lost jobs and increased home foreclosures, guess which block of voters are more likely to be challenged?  Democrats.  This will create a long line of stalling voters and may discourage some not to even come out.  There are some people who are facing foreclosure but will still be living in that house because it takes months for foreclosures to process, this trick will still apply to them.  This GOP tactic may not only apply to Michigan, it may apply in other key battleground states in their attempt to suppress votes.  Especially, in states that are Red states which has gotten a huge Democrat voter registration (thinking about North Carolina). Watch out.  If you are a voter facing any foreclosure activity, MAKE SURE YOU REGISTER TO VOTE WITH A CURRENT ADDRESS!!!  If you have moved from the foreclosed home to a relative&#039;s address, make sure your voter&#039;s registration card reflect the relative&#039;s address, etc.  If you will still be living in the foreclosed home on November 4, 2008, make sure you check with your registration office to see what else you need to bring with you TO THE POLLING PLACE AS PROOF YOU ARE STILL LIVING IN THE HOME.  DO NOT WAIT UNTIL ELECTION DAY.  I sent a copy of this article to Democrat Headquarters to see if steps are being taken to address the legality of this or to learn what alternatives the voters can use so they can have this information BEFORE ELECTION DAY.  This is just a FYI to all Democrat voters of desperate Repub. tactics. I also sent a copy of the article to MSNBC to report the facts on this as well.  Thanks.</description>

            <title>I HAVE AN IDEA</title>
            <description>Now, I do not have a lot of computer savvy but is there a way that all Democrat supporters can send a message to one website?  The reason I asked this is because no one really knows how many people are going to vote come November and the polls are so inaccurate - especially since there are millions of new young voters and cell phone only voters who cannot be reached to be polled.  This leaves room for a lot of spin and playing up or playing down the actual numbers.  So what if all the people who have made up their minds to vote Democrat this year send an email or letter or postcard or fax (maybe to the Obama website) which simply states:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My name is John Doe/Jane Doe, registered voter #00000 and I will be voting Democrat November 4, 2008 because this election is about me and I demand change from old politics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This will be a historical grassroot effort from the people free from news media spin, sleezy counter campaigning, etc.  Obama keep saying that we, the people, have always had the power to change Washington but right now, we do not know how to utilize that power from the bottom to the top.  It can be advertised by someone like Keith Olbermann to help get the word out.  I am sure the Republicans will copy but at least, America will know BEFORE NOVEMBER where the numbers stand for either candidate, and it will also reveal to voters who tend to stay home how important it is they come out as the numbers come in.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My only concerns is WHEN Obama/Biden start receiving all the millions of responses, can a computer handle a tally that large?  That is why I said I am not computer savvy (smile).  Can this make a computer system crash?  I even thought of using my own email address to do this but, again, will this make a system crash?  This may be a stupid idea but wonderful things have happened in history because the answer was stupid, simple, but marvelous.</description>

            <title>Walmart Moms for McCain? Unbelievable.</title>
            <description>This is my last ditched effort to reason with struggling voters who are actually leaning toward John McCain and Sarah Palin  These two  are openly lying to the voters.  Their lies have been fact-checked left and right on all the news media and the facts that are coming out are clearly showing we are in deep trouble if you vote them into the White House.  Historically, we blame the candidates for winning or losing elections but the truth is. We the people are ones who vote in the ones who oppresses us.  Bush did not win the White House - you voted him in. So you got what you voted for.  This includes those who did not vote at all.  Remember, Al Gore lost by a little over 500 votes.  A mere 500+ people did not even bother to vote but I am sure they are the main ones crying everyday about unequal pay, low wages, losing their houses, gas prices, grocery prices, and poor health care for children, elderly, and veterans.  Guess what, that is not George Bush&#039;s fault.  He really did not hide the fact that he was weasel and all you struggling folks voted for his lies - TWICE.  Well, this year is different.  You all are not blind this year with internet and news coverage and pubicized fact-checking, all of us voters are more informed about each of the candidates.  The Republicans are not even TRYING TO HIDE THE FACT THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT YOUR STRUGGLES and, behold, history repeats itself.  Some voters are actually voting for McCain/Palin (despite the open deceitfulness and treachery) because he is a maverick, because she is a soccer mom, because she is &#039;hot&#039;, because he was a POW, because she is a woman, because she can field dress a dead moose, and the list goes on.  None of these issues will feed your family or address your health care needs but some of these Walmart moms and soccer moms and moose hunters are voting for them for these reasons. McCain is actually saying that this election IS NOT ABOUT THE ISSUES - IT IS ABOUT PERSONALITIES. That&#039;s pretty straight talk as far as I am concerned.  Bottom line, Folks, if you and your family is still suffering in the next 4-8 years&lt;br /&gt;
(assuming McCain wins), then this is exactly what you voted for. I am sure McCain won&#039;t be suffering, Palin won&#039;t be suffering, Obama won&#039;t be suffering, Hillary won&#039;t be suffering, and it will not be either of their faults because you and only you are responsble for your vote or lack of.  Good luck to us all in November.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I AM VOTING DEMOCRAT  YEA AAAAAA!!!</description>

            <title>Some Ohioans Say Won&#039;t Vote for Black Man</title>
            <description>I was listening to CNN tonight and a guest (I think his name was Gergen) said there were some Ohioans who said they just could not vote for a Black man.  Being a older Black woman I will say this very calmly - oh well, so be it.  Now according to the news, people in Ohio have really been hit hard economically just like the rest of us working class citizens and now this election could deliver control of the White House to a political party which has fought for their struggles and they cannot vote for that party because the candidate is Black? I hope all you Black Americans are paying attention.  We are good enough to overlook the &#039;Jim Crow&quot; era and vote for the White Man for years; we were good enough to fight and die in America&#039;s wars right beside the White Man for America, but we are not good enough to be in America&#039;s White House? How ironic, all of our sons and daughters are dying in Iraq for Iraqees and at the same time the Iraqees are hating us.  Obama (with his Harvard Law Degree)chose to serve as public servant to struggling people who hates him simply because he is Black.  It is just that simple.  He would have been O.K. if he was not Black. Well, my Black brothers and sisters, you now know where you fit in the scheme of things in America&#039;s politics. I hope every last one of you remember this in upcoming elections.  And if McCain wins because there are &#039;Christians&#039; who cannot vote for a black man, I hope they can look into the eyes of their homeless children, their starving children, their sick children or their  children dying in McCAin&#039;s wars and explain to them that they had to suffer because they just could not vote for a candidate who tried to protect them simply because he was a Negro.</description>

            <title>PERFECT QUOTE FROM KEITH OLBERMANN</title>
            <description>&#039;HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU&#039;RE GOING TO GET HIT UPSIDE YOUR HEAD BEFORE YOU REALIZE WHO IS HITTING YOU?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BUSH ECONOMICS IS WHAT HAS BEEN HITTING YOU UPSIDE YOUR HEAD FOR 8 YEARS AND SOME ARE ACTUALLY CONSIDERING VOTING IN MCCAIN/PALIN FOR MORE OF IT?  SOME SOCCER MOMS LIKE PALIN BUT THEY ARE THE SAME MOMS WHO CANNOT AFFORD GAS TO GO TO SOCCER.  SOME HUNTERS LIKE PALIN BECAUSE SHE CAN FIELD DRESS A MOOSE BUT THAT SAME HUNTER IS CURRENTLY FEEDING HIS FAMILY WEINERS BECAUSE HE CANNOT AFFORD TO HUNT. SOME PEOPLE THINK MCCAIN IS A MAVERICK AND HE IS REALLY A DUSTRY OLD BURRO.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BOTTOM LINE;  HOW HUNGRY DOES YOUR FAMILY MUST GET BEFORE YOU REALIZE YOU ARE VOTING IN THE ONES WHO ARE OPPRESSING YOU?  IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING, THEN WHY DID YOU VOTE BUSH ECONOMICS IN?</description>

            <title>Another Republican Endorses Obama</title>
            <description>link:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0908/Koch_backs_Obama_calls_Palin_scary.html&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Former New York Mayor Ed Koch, who endorsed and worked for George W. Bush in 2004, is endorsing Obama today, NY1 first reported.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I asked Koch just now what prompted the move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;The designation of Palin to be vice president,&quot; he said. &quot;She&#039;s scary.&quot;</description>

            <title>DEMOCRATS FOCUS</title>
            <description>PALIN IS A DISTRACTION.  What have been blaring on T.V. since her selection?  Mooses, oil drilling, pregnant daughter, bridge to no where, troopergate, etc.  While everyone (especially the news media) is looking at Palin, McCain is skimming by advertising lie after lie and is not being called out on the lies.  Well, tonight, the news media is starting to show fact checks and I am glad that they are.  But back to us - the people - we need to stay focus.  I saw them interview some McCain voters tonight and a few females were asked if they were voting for McCain or Palin and - blessed their estrogen hearts - they said Palin because &#039;she is straight talk&#039; or she&#039;s tough. See how easy my female counterparts can be decieved?  People with a cool head were quickly able to see through all the spin and lies the Republicans were throwing out but these poor little darlings fell for Palin&#039;s &#039;tough talk&#039; (I guess they did not realize that Palin was saying what MEN HAD COACHED HER TO SAY).  I wrote Cnn and MSNBC about reporting facts floating around our there that the voters need to know about and tonight, CNN did a good job in showing facts on MCCain and Palin&#039;s campaign lies. Rachel Maddow was great, too, in giving out the facts.  But this is not the burden for news media to bring the facts to you.  If the issue affects you and our family personally then fact-check the candidate you are voting for.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I AM GOING DEMOCRAT ALL THE WAY!!!!</description>

            <title>HERE IS THE GAME PLAN DEMOCRATS</title>
            <description>STAY FOCUSED ON THE ISSUES.  Today I watched Chris Matthew question a Republican woman and he asked specifically what was John McCain&#039;s plan for people losng their jobs.  She immediately started spouting meaningless McCain talking points - none of it answered Chris simple question.  He did not let her DISTRACT HIM.  He came back on her 3 times with just that simple question and she eventually gave a green job summary which is the Democrat platform.  Folks, the Republicans do not have a plan for working class people. Now, as voters, it is our responsibility to fact-check what McCain and Palin is saying.  I think the news media has finally to message and is now showing the facts behind what the candidates are campaigning on.  Most of McCain&#039;s and Palin&#039;s have already been proven to be lies.&lt;br /&gt;
This is good.  So voters, the ball is in your court and like Obama said on Countdown tonight.  The decision is really simple - and it is.  Have you and your family been doing O&gt;K&gt; for the last 8 years?  IF you have, then McCain is your man because he and Palin are proven to be an extension of George Bush - they are not different.  Palin is more like Bush than McCain. If you have been struggling then the Democrats platform is addressing your needs.  If you undecided, asked the Republicans to be specific about what is McCain policy in addressin equal pay for women, taxes, jobs, health care, etc.  Don&#039;t accept an general answer that realy does not answer your question like that lady attempted to do with Chris Matthews tonight.  Keep their feet to the fire and if you do not get an answer it is because they do not have an answer.  Now go vote and accept the consequences of that vote.</description>

            <title>PALIN FOR PRESIDENT</title>
            <description>SPREAD THE WORD THAT REPUBLICANS ARE VOTING FOR PALIN FOR PRESIDENT AND WATCH MCCAIN SELF DESTRUCT BECAUSE THIS IS TRUE.  NEWS MEDIA IS ALREADY CATCHING ON THAT THE REBPUBS DO NOT WANT MCCAIN - THEY WANT PALIN.  THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN TESTED WITH EVANGELICALS ON CNN.  BAY BUCHANAN ACTUALLY STATED ON NATIONAL T.V. THAT SHE WAS NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN OR ATTEND THE RNC CONVENTION BUT PALIN CHANGED HER MIND. IN FACT ONE EVANGELICAL MALE STATED THAT HE DID NOT THINK MCCAIN BY HIMSELF WOULD WIN THE ELECTION BUT NOW THINKS THAT PALIN CAN WIN IT.  THIS WILL PISS MCCAIN OFF - ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS TRUE.     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;REPUBLICANS ADMIT THEY ARE VOTING FOR PALIN - NOT MCCAIN&#039;.</description>

            <title>Joe Lieberman to Train Palin on Foreign Policy</title>
            <description>According to:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/04/AR2008090403557.html?hpid=topnews&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joe Lieberman and other Republican experts are going to train Sarah Palin on Foreign Policy.  Let me make sure I got his straignt.  Palin has been abroad only once to Iraq so she will receive one semester of Foreign Policy 101 so she will be perfectly qualified to make decisions for America as POTUS when McCancer dies or become incapacitated.  And everyone is O.K. with this?</description>

            <title>President Palin - &quot;Vice President McCain</title>
            <description>This should really blow McCancer&#039;s head off.  Palin afterall is the one who brought the Repub base to McCain. Even Chuck Todd reported tonight that looks more like Palin&#039;s Party and not McCain&#039;s.  The crowd cheer her more than McCAin.  Spread the word that Palin is the leader of the Repub Party and watch the petty Repub rodents tear each other up.</description>

            <title>OMB - NOW REPUBS USE 911 FOR VOTES?</title>
            <description>lET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kill our children for Iraq oil?&lt;br /&gt;
Use Downs Syndrome baby to get women votes?&lt;br /&gt;
Exploit American guilt to get POW votes?&lt;br /&gt;
Use Hurricane catastrophies to get votes?  &lt;br /&gt;
Praise a VP candidate who wants to separate from the United States as one who &quot;puts country first&quot;?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I must say, I truly do not believe George W. Bush is this butt ugly as is McCancer and Sarah Phallus. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the picture of the God-Loving Evangelicals.</description>

            <title>Republicans Not for McCain they are for Palin</title>
            <description>Bay Buchanan was interviewed on television this a.m.  She actually said she was not going to go the convention or vote for McCain but Palin changed her mind.  Listen to me carefully.  McCain&#039;s base did not even want him so it took a unknown female with no experience to get the Republicans to vote for him?  His party is voting for Palin - not him. Palin better watch out because when John&#039;s Geritol kick in and he realizes that, his petty ass will dump her because he wants to be on top and currently Palin is the &#039;MAN&#039; OF THE HOUR. (LAUGH).</description>
