Typical baloney from DoRight. We all know it has been proven time and time again there is no story, no relationship (EXCEPT that of certain Republican politicians), and my god, as badly as McCain wants there to be one, you would think they would have been able to dig something up by now. But regardless of that, why let a little thing like the truth get in the way when you subscribe to the Carl Rove school of dirty ball politics, right?

Nevertheless, please keep up the good work DoRight, I have no doubt just seeing you endorse McCain is enough to drive many who were on the fence to run screaming to vote for Obama.

Do Right,
You comprehend nothing....not even that there is no correlation between a supposed IQ of anyone and the associations one keeps. Keep it up. You only serve to embarrass yourself. Better yet, go back to a real school and really learn something, anything, that you can intelligently discuss. You cannot even write the language.

An excerpt:
Not a single poll has Mr. McCain ahead. The RealClearPolitics average of national polls as I write, rounded off, is Obama 50%, McCain 43%. Actually Mr. Obama has 50.1%, and if that is true and holds, it would make him the first Democratic presidential nominee since Jimmy Carter to break 50%. But I find myself thinking of what that 43% means. It's a big number, considering that this is the worst Republican year in generations. Amid two wars, a deep economic crisis, a fractured base, too much cynicism, and a campaign with the wind not at its back but head on in its face—with all of that working against Mr. McCain, 43% of the American people say, right now, in these polls, they are for him. And there are a significant number of undecideds. Four years ago about 122 million people voted. Forty-three percent of 122 million is 52 million people, more or less. A huge group, one too varied to generalize about because it includes flinty elderly Republicans from New England, home-schooling mothers in Ohio, libertarianish Republicans in Colorado, suburban patriots outside the big cities, and many others.
They are the beating heart of conservatism, and to watch most television is to forget they exist, for they are not shown much, except at rallies. But they are there, and this is a center-right nation, and many of them have been pushing hard against the age for 40 years now, and more. For some time they have sensed that something large and stable is being swept away, maybe has been swept away, and yet you still have to fight for it. They will not give up without a fight, and they will make their way to the polls.
And they will be a rock-hard challenge to Mr. Obama if he wins.

Con't
This is the thing: If Mr. Obama wins, and governs as a moderate liberal, not veering left, not seeming to be the cap that pops off a kettle that's been boiling for eight years, but governs to a degree, at least in general approach, as Bill Clinton did—as a moderate Democrat well aware of the terrain—he may know some success. And he may be able to tamp down the insistence of the long-simmering left by the force of his own popularity, which will grow once he is president among grateful Democrats, and others. But if he goes left—if it comes to seem as if the attractive, dark-haired man has torn open his shirt to reveal a huge S, not for Superman but for Socialist, if he jumps toward reforms such as a speech-limiting new Fairness Doctrine, that won't yield success. It will yield trouble, and unneeded domestic arguments. We have enough needed ones.

Mickey, first thanks for your response. We will agree to disagree on whether Palin is qualified to be president based on her experience of two years as governor of Alaska.
Quite honestly when I listen to Sarah Palin talk she reminds me of "Chauncey Gardiner" in the movie "Being There". A whole bunch of platitudes with no substance behind what she says. What is even more alarming is that she reminds me of GWB without the swagger - another person who has no substance whatever and talks in platitudes.
Your comment about conservatives critical of Palin being elitists would have had some basis if these same individuals reacted similarly to Reagan and Nixon - neither of whom could be deemed to have gone to the best schools or come from the right side of the railroad tracks.
On much of what you say, we are not too far apart. I went to college in the sixties and it left its mark on me. I am a social liberal on most issues but a fiscal conservative probably the result of my professional background and corporate experience. Personal responsibility is for me is very important. People need to live with the consequences of their action.
I don't have doctrinaire views. I could vote for a Republican for president and have done so - the last time was in 1988 when I voted for Bush 41.
"let's look at why Republicans are so repelled by Barack Obama. Three little words: Lack - Of - Experience."
Well, that is a reservation I have about Obama but I have far greater concerns about McCain. I used to like the guy but his recent run have accentuated his well publicised negatives. He really comes across as erratic and almost unstable in the way he has campaigned. The irony is that if he had stayed true to his core beliefs, he would have done a whole lot better - as opposed to trying to cater to the base. His militaristic approach to international affairs is alarming - and that is a core belief. I am convinced that if he is elected we will be at war more or less continually with real and imagined threats.
BTW, you should be careful citing Iran and other countries who would like to see Obama elected - after all, there was a recent report that Al Qaeda would like to see McCain elected because that would be the surest way that the US would continue to alienate Muslims and strengthen Al Qaeda including providing them with more recruits.

The former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, from the first administration of the twice-unelected president George W. Bush (2001-2005), has openly endorsed the Democratic party's presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Powell's endorsement of Obama, a puppet of the Israeli Rahm Emanuel, has less to do with Obama's African roots than it does with getting Emanuel and his Zionist gangsters back into control of the Oval Office. Emanuel, the real boss of the Democratic party is the son of a real Israeli terrorist (Irgun) and thug-in-chief of the party.

UGLY, it would be interesting to know how you became such a wacko and who supposedly hurt you so much that you can only see life through racist, anti-semitic glasses. Your statements are laughable except they show an individual who needs help, but sadly, does not know it and never will.
