You haters might want to look at this:

It is realized that those who have already made up their minds will not change them (regardless of facts), so this is for the
undecided who may be wondering about the qualifications of possible VP credentials…or possible presidential qualifications.

Question: What is America's first line of missile interceptor defense that
protects the entire United States?

Answer: 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard.

Question: What is the ONLY National Guard unit on permanent active duty?

Answer: 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard

Question: Who is the Commander in Chief of the 49th Missile Defense
Battalion of Alaska National Guard?

Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska

Question: What U.S. governor is routinely briefed on highly classified
military issues, homeland security, and counter terrorism?

Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska

Question: What U.S. governor has a higher classified security rating than
either candidate of the Democrat Party?

Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska

According to the Washington Post, she first met with McCain in February, but
nobody ever found out. This is a woman used to keeping secrets. She can be
entrusted with our national security, because she already is.

Obama is an angel of light, and his agenda is a bigger government with more regulation. This will sap our productivity and require more and more taxes. Be prepared for 50%+ payroll and self-employment taxes.

McCain had it right when he said in the debate that Obama promised his Illinois contituents tax cuts and instead voted 55 times to either increase taxes or vote against tax reductions.

He may look good on the outside, but don't say I didn't warn you about his real agenda.

Question: When was the last time we were invaded through Alaska?

Answer: Never

Question: When was the last time we had combat missions anywhere else but Alaska?

Answer: Every day

If we were in danger of getting invaded by the North Pole or we needed someone to keep an eye on invading forces from Russia from their house, then maybe I'd trust Gov. Palin's national defense experience.

Sen. McCain has the experience, Gov. Palin has none. And although Sen. Obama's not as expericienced as Sen. McCain, Sen. Biden to compliments him.

Even you said McCain looked like a frail puppet during the debates. Be honest. McCain/Qualin are both puppets.

Yes I like to tell the truth instead of being led around like a LIB sheep..

McCain sounds like Elmer Fudd and 0'bomber sounds like Mario Cuomo..Both make me nervous and I don't think either one is the right man for the job.

That poast about Palin was interesting because I hadn't seen those facts before.

Then you should run for president or vote for someone in a third party. Truth is that these two beat out the others in their party fair and square and if you don't like it, then you should jump ship to anotherp party.

To the Mr/Mrs. Undecided Voter,

Senator's McCain and Obama have been using the same talking points for 6+ months. Their VPs have been the same since they were selected over a month ago. The second debate last night was just like the first, just with a different format, so the third will probably be like the first too. If you haven't made up your mind yet, ur just too indecisive function normally in life. WTF are you waiting for? One of them to reveal that their an alien? Pick someone already.

You mean about her support for the Alaska Independence Party? The founder Joe Vogler talked about his HATRED for AMERICA:

http://www.youtube.com/watch...

Both parties should demand that McCain and Palin denounce Vogler and the Alaska Independence Party. In March 2008, Palin said she "shares the party's vision."

FEC: Obama funds from abroad may total $3.3M
Updated 12h 3m ago | Comments196 | Recommend14 E-mail | Save | Print |


DIG INTO CAMPAIGN DOLLARS


USA TODAY's interactive campaign finance tracker lets you examine and filter donations by state, date, amount and sector.

What's this?
WASHINGTON (AP)— Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has raised about $3.3 million from contributors who did not list a home state or who designated their state with an abbreviation that did not match one of the 50 states or U.S. territories, according to records provided by the Federal Election Commission.
Most of those contributors did identify themselves as living abroad in foreign cities. Under federal law, foreign citizens cannot make political contributions, but U.S. citizens living abroad can.

The Republican National Committee filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission on Monday asking for an investigation of Obama's foreign contributions, among other things.

The FEC on Monday provided The Associated Press with a spread sheet of potential overseas donors that did not include contributors who left their state designation blank. As a result, the list was incomplete.

The $3.3 million total does not include donors who have given less than $200 and whose contributions do not have to be itemized. Some of that money could also have come from overseas. About half of Obama's $455 million in contributions so far are unitemized. The campaign does not identify those donors.

FIND MORE STORIES IN: Internet | Tennessee | Barack Obama | Nashville | Republican National Committee | Federal Election Commission | David Axelrod
Obama senior adviser David Axelrod, speaking to reporters en route to Nashville, Tennessee, on Tuesday, noted that anyone can donate to the campaign through the Internet. "We monitor these things as best we can," he said.

Republican John McCain's campaign lists all his donors, even those who give less than $200, on his website.

The Obama campaign has begun to request passport numbers from donors to verify their citizenship.

Asked why the Obama campaign does not do the same and open its database to the public, Axelrod said the campaign returns improper contributions.

"Obviously we've got a huge database of contributors," he said. "It's valuable to our campaign ... We're probably more forthcoming about disclosure than anyone."

Independent watchdog groups, however, have asked the campaign to provide more information about its fundraisers and to at least provide information about small donors by zip code or country from where they donate.

Ya she's older than I am for sure, so I see her as old woman, have you heard her voice?!?! Like screeching owl or something!! I find it remarkable that she does ignore american press, she really wants you to vote for her on face value, very interesting she has pulled this off and with 30 days until vote, do not expect her to do this. You will be voting blindly for a facade rather than real old woman underneath the facade, watch and see comrade!!!

What are they waiting for?

November 4th maybe? Why the hurry? Deadline's in 27 days.

Besides, looking at the state to state polls, the die is probably cast. McCain behaves as if his internal polls show the same thing.

Strangely enough, Sarah sounds kind of like the girl on the radio advertising for Iceland. Maybe it's an arctic thing with the voice.

Under Obama, most probably will be calling each other comrade as there will be little incentive for anyone to work more than the minimum.

Relax they will. I suspect most "undecided" voters pretty much know where they lean but they are keeping it to themselves. It could be so as not to be lumped into a camp such as conservative or liberal because both are likely to get you attacked. If the person leans McCain, their liberal friends might rip them up. If the peson leans Obama, he would be butchered then next time he or she goes to church. It could be the way they lean is based on something supeficial such as carefully hidden racism or liking a candidate because he or she is attractive. But when that curtain is pulled, the vote will be made, even if we all have to hold our noses to vote either way. By November 5th, unless something weird happens, we will have a president elect.
