1. You mean they are not media whores like Obummer? Kool!

2. Is it any wonder that John McCain and Sarah Palin may be playing their cards a bit close to the vest, considering just how blatantly the media is cheer leading for Obama to win the election?

These shameless Obama groupies in much of the media have long since given up any and all pretense of objectivity when it comes to this Presidential contest.

And is the media getting their widdle feewings hurt because McCain and Palin won't dance to their tune? Oh. Too bad.

3. With HACKS like you out there I do not blame her. If you looked at Obama/Bidden you will notice a slight riff occuring maybe you should look at that Bidden telling the press the Obama's ads were not correct or even fair. Then turning around and stating that they were perfectly legit. YEAH McCain shows leadership Obama wants to talk typical. The ship is sinking and Obama preaches. Yeah THE ONE. The CHOICE IS CLEAR MCCAIN?PALIN 08

4. So after 8 years of State Run Media...the idoit Repukes are looking for another 4?
Where is the media outrage..can you imagine if Obama pulled on these stunts?
The GOP media machine would eat him alive.
WAke up lemmings and don't let the Corps tell you who WE as a country will elect as a President.
The stakes are too high..they already picked the Dem candidate for us and I am a dyed in the wool Dem.
Scream from the rooftops for acountability.
No Bush BAil OUT.
No McInsane/Moose killer Palin pass from the MSM.

I thought she was a journalism student or something.

8. Who cares Ana about press coverage of McCain and Sarah. That isn't news. The United States Congress has a 9 percent approval rating and we the people are giving this inept and lazy crowd $900 Billion for a bail out that would have never happened if they would have been doing their job.

Mark my word Ana, half of this $900 Billion will disapppear in the halls of Congress. At which point they'll extend their sticky hands again saying it wasn't enough.

9. McCain/Palin are applicants for jobs that want to skip the job interview because they have nothing of value to say and a lot to hide in relation to Palin. Isolationist candidates who are not willing to state their plans and answer any questions (even not rehearsed ones) don't deserve to be hired.

10. Willet - sad but true.

Cliff Mansfield at 10:07PM on Sep 24th 2008

11. Phil -- just because they will not play Kabuki Doll for the liberal media doesn't make them anything other than smart.

Hammer of God at 10:09PM on Sep 24th 2008

12. I SAW SARAH PALIN ON CBS, I SAW HERE ON FOX . I ALSO KNOW THAT SHE IS BEING INTERVIEWED BY KATIE COURIC. I THINK WHAT YOU MEANT TO SAY IS...MCCAIN AND PALIN HAVE SHUT OUT THE EXTREME LIBERAL GOTCHA MEDIA. HOW MANY MORE LIBERAL KOOKS SHOULD SHE SIT DOWN WITH (WHILE BEING LOOKED NOSE DOWN ON ,OVER THE GLASSES AT)?? YOU LIBS SURE ARE HIGH AND MIGHTY. AS THOUGH SHE MUST BE INDOCTRINATED BY THE GODS OF THE MEDIA. I AM LEARNING JUST WHAT I NEED TO BE WITHOUT YOUR HELP. THANKS TYTURD...BUT NO THANKS.

13. Eric - Kinda harsh, bud! I think you should apologize to TURDS for comparing Stenk to them.

Hammer of God at 10:17PM on Sep 24th 2008

14. IT WAS OBAMA'S ORIGINAL IDEA TO POSTPONE THE DEBATE BUT MCMESS JUST BEAT HIM TO THE SPOT LIGHT (CNN). IF OBAMA WOULD HAVE TOOK HIS PLAN TO CNN BEFORE MCMESS, PEOPLE WOULD BE SAYING THAT HE IS RUNNING AWAY FROM THE DEBATE. HIM (MCMESS) AND THE DIXY CHICK (PALIN) ARE PATHETIC.

15. Reverend Botts has said "Directors, Officers and Lobbyists have donated $169,000 to McCain, and $16,000 to Obama."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

But, that all seems kinda petty amounts that Reverend Botts talks about and overlooks a proven source of donations to candidates, "opensecrets.com". And why, numbers Reverend Botts are different. Throughout his political career, Obama has gotten more than $125,000 in campaign contributions from employees and political action committees of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, second only to Dodd, the Senate Banking Committee chairman, who received more than $165,000.

Why not quote these numbers from a qualified source?
What number does OpenSecrets say McCain has gotten from Fannie and Freddie Reverend Botts?? Not the $165,000 you quote without a source.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Revenend Botts also points out $15,000 a company Rickster ownes had been getting monthly up till last week. So what is the connection? What influence did that have on McCain?????
Suggested but not spelled out.

If McCain is so tainted by your "McCain lobbyists" in this financial mess, keep in mind while Reverend Botts point fingers between now and Nov. 4: it was Senator John McCain who was one of the three cosponsors of S.190, the bill that would have averted this mess.

Then Reverend keeps forgeting these monies:
As chairman of the Senate Banking Commitee , is a first term Senator pulling down almost $300,000 a year from Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG, Countrywide Financial, and Washington Mutual? He has not even completed his fourth year in the Senate and received a total of $1,093,329.00 from these eight companies and their employees. (all data from OpenSecrets.org). John McCain’s numbers, according to OpenSecrets.org for the period 1990-2008 (i.e., 18 years worth of data) only collected $549,584.00. In other words, Barack is receiving $273,582.25 (and 2008 is not over) per year while McCain raised a paltry $30,532.44.
Want another shocker? Barack Obama has received more from one source–Goldman Sachs $542,252.00–than McCain has from all of the companies combined. Who the hell is more beholden to lobbyists? And why does a junior Senator from Illinois rate this kind of dough? (more here)

Reverend Botts-how do you overlook all that money and talk about Ricksters $15000 a month for his company with no tainted connection mentioned or the $165000 McCain money connection you make with no tainted connection of what it even means.

Reverend Botts-How about the bonuses 2 former Fannie Mae CEO's got, you do not mention them and they are in the millions for screwing up Fannie Mae.
So where are former Fannie Mae CEOs like Franklin Raines ($90 million in salary) and Jim Johnson ($21 million in salary in one year)? As you might expect, they're serving as Barack Obama's key economic advisers. (Source: Washington Post)

They are Obama's key economic advisers on this Fannie and Freddie mess that caused the present financial mess. Really cool, and your concerned about McCain $165000 and Rickster $15000 a month. Petty thoughts.

And as Congress looks into this mess about the Bail Outs, we see CHRIS DODD bring down the gavel. WTF is Dodd doing there? That's like Lucky Luciano presiding over the Al Capone trial.

Reverend Botts, still waiting for you to show me proof or something substantial that shows Hussein Obama was a Christian and not a Muslim during the early part of his life up to when he moved to Hawaii.
