Of course character is an issue. However one has to start to wonder when the opposition becomes so obsessed with every perceived character flaw, and stop addressing the issues facing the country. At that point it looks less like a legitimate concern, and more like an attempt to obfuscate the issues and run a smear campaign. (1 hr ago | post #49)
Alice, I did not call you a liar dear. I did point out that the point that you were making, and the clip that you posted (relative to your post #26) had nothing to do with one another. If the allegations carried any real weight, or there had been a credible conflict of interest, I am sure that John McCain would have competent staff to bring litigation. The fact that he has not leads me to believe that the allegations are more smoke and mirrors to misdirect the conversation away from the issues and our current financial mess. Were this legally actionable, it would already be in court. (Yesterday | post #33)
Alice, please don't post things that are an abject waste of time. Did you watch the video you posted? The Fox News Broadcast does not address Obama ties to ACORN at all. It does address ACORN's subsidiaries, their place in the mortgage crisis, and in the bailout, but it says nothing of Obama being involved. It also claims that ACORN has been involved in these practices for the past ten years (the past two presidential elections). Given the outcome of those, it would appear that even if they are involved in voter fraud it is less than effective. I am quite through with this non-sense, if you wish to make decisions based upon fear and mud slinging, be my guest. (Yesterday | post #27)
Your article shows no specifics whatsoever, so you would never know that the extent of Obama's work was confined to two training seminars, which he conducted free of charge. It is a long stretch, even if ACORN is involved in illegal activity, to directly tie Obama to these activities. Were you outraged by the activities of the Bush administration during the 2000 and 2004 elections? There was certainly questionable activity in Florida in 2000 when Bush's brother was governor. Perhaps you would prefer Ohio, where Republican Secretary of State Ken Blackwell basically delivered the state of Ohio on a silver platter? Allegations of election fraud should be investigated and dealt with accordingly. Until such a time as there are public allegations of merit, with real proof to back them up, the race should still be about the issues facing this country. It seems that the Republican campaign are afraid to run simply based upon their merits and the issues. The ongoing smear campaign, which seems to have trickled down even to their fans on the web, is pathetic. (Yesterday | post #24)
No, actually, these have all been addressed ad nauseum, and yet there is very little of substance which has been brought forward. Constantly referring back to them at this stage in the election starts to look like an act of desperation. McCain has his fair share of unsavory history, but rather than rail on about ancient history, I would rather the campaigns concentrate on the very real perils facing our country now.

Have you forgotten that the bailout was first proposed and driven by the Executive? (Saturday | post #21)
You own views of course are unbiased? It is a little difficult to swallow such criticism, when you proceed to spew vitriol about a number of items, none of which has anything to do with the issues facing our country. (Saturday | post #16)
There is a difference between a maverick, and a loose cannon. (Saturday | post #8)
The Obama Effect: DOW Collapse Signaling Fear of Socialist as President?
Actually much of the action would have to be against private business people. Unless of course you care to admit the fault of the former Republican congress in deregulating, which allowed the businessmen to operate unfettered. (Saturday | post #28)
Oh how I had forgotten. When one has no basis for their claims, they need to smear it on thick. (Saturday | post #18)
Corsi is Back from Kenya with e-mails
Corsi, never addresses the issues. He emerges from the vapor every four years with a new series of smear books. I find it interesting that the bulk of the article you have posted comes form a publication for which Corsi works. Certainly neither Corsi or World Net Daily have an agenda? (Friday Oct 10 | post #2)
Which is more or less a direct reference to the work of Republican Ken Blackwell, whose tampering with the voting equipment, equipment distribution, and procedures, delivered the 2004 election for his party. (Friday Oct 10 | post #10)
The Obama Effect: DOW Collapse Signaling Fear of Socialist as President?
GM that is a truly fallacious argument. The market is not predicting the future at the moment, but rather it is reacting to the past. Namely the poor lending practices which have led to the sub-prime mortgage crisis, the mortgage crisis in general, and now an overall credit crunch. You have not put forth any information to support your hypothesis that this market activity is a gauge of the future. As for accusing me of blaming Bush, perhaps you should re-read my posts, as I have done no such thing. What I did say wasThis statement would apply to George as well. The policies of any one executive do not add up to the financial mess we are currently facing. (Friday Oct 10 | post #20)
The Obama Effect: DOW Collapse Signaling Fear of Socialist as President?
I see you have nothing substantiative to say, so you have instead resorted to insults. Childish ones at that. I simply stated that I believe you are overstating the importance of one individual in the process, and furthermore that you are doing so prematurely. No reasonable person could expect there to be a worldwide market reaction based SOLELY on the possibility that one person would be elected to the presidency. Nor is it reasonable, when this crisis has been impending for some time, to assign blame to the next executive in advance of their election. (Friday Oct 10 | post #7)
