Details to come, but the Buzz is Barack Obama will be campaigning Monday in Tampa.

Don't need his sleazy ACORN training here. Go back to Chicago where illegal politics plays well. You don't even like the Rays. GO AWAY!!!

Let's all ask him how he can ask for our votes now when he said our votes should not count in January.
People living in Tampa went to vote for him in January who once sat-in at lunch counters to gain the law changes that made possible Obama's success. They lived long enough to have seen Jim Crow disenfranchisement replaced by the first viable African American candidate for president telling them, once again, their votes can't count.
Some guy?

4:00 I already asked him that, and he said the GOP were behind it, as they nearly always are. He also explained that he was just one of the candidates at that time and was following the rules. He also described "Operation Chaos", a GOP campaign strategy to make it appear that their was a division within the Democratic Party, but explained that any Hillary supporters that might have been fooled immediately reverted back to the DEM camp when McInsane chose Palin as his VP.
Now that issue's long behind us and I think I'll somehow manage to forgive him and vote for him when it really matters.
That's one thing i like about Barack Obama. He cutrs right through McCains BS and tells it like it is. Wish I was able to hear him speak on Monday.

Maybe someone can explain to Obama that Socialism has never solved an economic crises.
And they gave Obama a college degree? Where is Joe the Plumer when you need real world common sense?

further on JOETHEPLUMBER.....
"Unlike some other states, Ohio does not have a formal statewide licensing system for plumbers. BUT the city of Toledo and other municipalities do, Mr. Joseph said, and Mr. Wurzelbacher has NOT met those requirements.
“All contractors are licensed, and he does NOT HAVE have a license, either as a contractor or a plumber,” the union official said, citing a search of government records. “I can’t find that he’s ever even applied for any kind of apprenticeship, and he has never belonged to local 189 in Columbus, which is what he claims on his Facebook page.” [LIAR? FRAUD?]
According to public records, Mr. Wurzelbacher has been subject to two liens, each over $1,000, one of which — a personal tax lien — is still outstanding.[TAXCHEATINGWEASEL?]
And his question to Mr. Obama about paying taxes? According to some tax analysts, if Mr. Wurzelbacher’s gross receipts from his business is $250,000 — and not his taxable income — then he would not have to pay higher taxes under Mr. Obama’s plan, and probably would be eligible for a tax cut.[TOO STUPID TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GROSS AND TAXABLE INCOME?]
Mr. Wurzelbacher is registered to vote in Lucas County under the name Samuel Joseph Worzelbacher.
“We have his named spelled W-O, instead of W-U,” Linda Howe, executive director of the Lucas County Board of Elections, said in a telephone interview. “Handwriting is sometimes hard to read. He has never corrected it in his registration card.”{ILLITERATE?]

Considering the unrest in the country and Obama's spending on ads, he should be overwhelmingly ahead right now. It shouldn't be close. Why is it?
Because you doubt.
Obama's numbers and nuances don't add up. You doubt he's sincere about change you can believe in. You doubt he really reaches across party lines to do the work of the people.
You doubt him because he has ties to terrorists, felons, and racists.
You doubt him because he votes present or outright shows disdain for newborn babies under the guise of women's health.
You doubt him because no friends from high school and college have come out to support him.
You doubt Obama and THAT his why McCain will win.

I have quit being surprised about the stupiditys displayed from the republicans it is hard to find a more left in the 19th century group of people anywhere.
And the typical agenda from republicans anything but us and you are communist and out to put socialism in this country.
Hate to break it to you all but i strongly suggest you actually learn the meaning of those words that you toss around like you knew what they mean.
Obama can be found fairly far out on the rightside of the political spectrum in an international perspective. But that is something i fully expect the boobirds to not understand since in there opinion anything but McSame and you are a socialist looking to instill communism in USA.
Keep up the pressure and dont let McSame and his cronies steal another election. This country would have been far far far better of if Al Gore had been the present President.

The FBI investigates Obama's ACORN for rampant voter registration fraud in 20 states:
WASHINGTON (AP) - The FBI is investigating whether the community activist group ACORN helped foster voter registration fraud around the nation before the presidential election.
A senior law enforcement official confirmed the investigation to The Associated Press. A second senior law enforcement official says the FBI was looking at results of inquiries in several states, including a raid on ACORN's office in Las Vegas, for any evidence of a coordinated national effort.

I wish he was coming down here to Miami. I will have to drive up to see him. We cannot afford four more years of Republican corruption and lies. Jeb Bush, George Bush, Karl Rove, the financial crisis, I'm sick of it. I can't take another four years. The Republicans are a decadent, corrupt party and they are nervouse because the easy money trough to all their cronies mouths is about to be shut off. No more corrupt handouts... the investigations of all the corruption are just about to begin. What goes around, comes around. Republicans, get ready for a taste of your own medicine!!

Are these the same guys from Tampa who are, as Obama put it, "clinging to their guns and religion?"
You libs are always quick to call everyone else a racist, when you are the only show in town.
Posted by: | October 16, 2008 at 09:48 PM
The economic plan that Obama revealed is not his own. Of course, when he talks about sending kids to school in exchange for community service- that's the military! Did you get that? (Mehopes.) However, they will be tabbed as "Peace keeping forces." How quaint.
Of course, socialism cannot work, until the moral fiber of humanity improves. Interestingly, Obama is unaware of this. He believes that socialism will cause the moral fiber to improve....quite backwards.

After reading soem of these post I undestand how W. won in 2000. The Republicans are on the ropes. After eight years of Bush they are running away for the party brand name. After losing when confronting the real issues Americans are concerned about McCain has resulted to lies and smears. Even the Gov is backing away from good ol McCain skiping a campaign event to go to Disney World.
Republicans want to label Obama as a SOCIALIST but agreed with the $700 billion bailout plan. That is social welfare for corporations. Trickle down economics is a scam. It's funny that most of the people that supports Barack Obama (Hollywood ect.) are wealthy. They undestand that the progression of the middle class is essential to a strong economy...
Obama/Biden 08...
Posted by: Enlightened | October 16, 2008 at 10:40 PM
It doesn't matter if Joe the plummer is licensed, or drives a volvo. What matters is only what Obama said to him, which was essentially, "I believe in a re-distribution of wealth. If you make to much, you need to share it with others that don't really deserve it". It's a core Marxist tenet. To each according to his ability to pay. In other words, tax the producers of the country, distribute their wealth and create the ultimate welfare state.

From Dreams of My Father:’I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.’
From Dreams of My Father : ‘I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.’
From Dreams of My Father:’There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.’
From Dreams of My Father: ‘It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.’
From Dreams of My Father:’I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa , that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself.

Im so afraid Race will be an issue, especially for older voters still stuck in the 1963. Obama is the better candidate....all the angry bitter racists would realize that if they had never seen a picture of Obama and just listened to what he says and does. Florida is a vile state and I can't wait to move. What's holding me back? The economy....which I blame on Bush and McCant will only be more of the same. Stop whining about Chicago and let's talk about the Keating scandal....

You idiots that keep spewing the trash that the Republican party throws out are really pathetic. Think for yourselves instead of just repeating what they tell you to. John McCain is a hypocrite. To employ the same folks who bad mouthed him when he was campaigning against Bush tells you a lot about him. He only wants to win, not because he cares about the middle class, just to affirm an ideology. You should all be ashamed of the Republican tactics and campaign. If they speak for you, you are a sad lot!
Posted by: Anny | October 18, 2008 at 12:44 PM
I'm so embarrased and saddened by those who do not see the plight that country is facing in the hands of president Bush. Facts are facts, and McCain voted with bush 95% of the time. It appears as if your ears don't work if you can't hear the news and the state of the economy, and your eyes must not work as well if you can't see the increase in homeless people on our streets due to the home forclosures and the rich getting richer. In fact I forget you are absolutely heart less and could give a care less about the less fortunate and opression people experience in this country, because government should not take care of its people. Disgusting. I can't wait for Obama to take office.
