The McCain campaign is filing a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission.
Why?
Because several of the donations the Obama campaign has received are … how shall we say this … questionable.
Fake names.
Fake addresses.
But real money.
Lots and lots of money.
And documented cases from overseas, including Palestinians in Gaza.
But it could have been nipped in the bud, according [...]

No, this is not an appeal to urge you to vote for McCain/Palin.
Although you should.
Rather, it’s about the Website VoteForTheMILF.com, which some said was a domain owned by JohnMcCain.com.
It wasn’t. And isn’t. Owned by the McCain campaign, that is.
For the uninitiated, a “MILF” is a term popularized by the movie, American Pie. It means, “mom [...]

Finally!
The McCain campaign is finally taking Barack Obama to task for his terrorist buddies.
Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK), the Republican vice-presidential nominee, criticized Obama’s long relationship with Bill Ayers.
For those that don’t know, Bill Ayers was part of the Weather Underground. Ayers bombed New York City police headquarters, the U.S. Capitol building, and the Pentagon.

Just hoping some of the Obamacrats in my family will accidentally see this and come to their senses.
Will it help them?
Probably not. Anyone still for Obama this late in the day may be a lost cause.
I just hope they don’t drag the country down with them.
And now, Yakko Warner explains the bailout…
The U.S. economy’s tanked. It’s beyond me
Why nobody knows who’s to blame.
When Washington’s involved, the markets will devolve;
The reason is always the same.
In ‘94, sub-prime mortgages were five
Percent of all housing loans, but,
The number then went up to 20 percent
Due to a perceived housing glut.
In ‘99 Clinton, with impeachment [...]

Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) is running an ad that says Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) “still doesn’t know how to use a computer, can’t send an e-mail,” in an attempt to portray the Republican presidential nominee as out of touch.
Only, the fact that John McCain can’t use a computer means exactly that: John McCain can’t use [...]

Financial Times reports that some Democrats are concerned about the Obama campaign.
A Democratic fundraiser for Congressional candidates said some planned to distance themselves from Mr Obama and not attack Mr McCain.
“If people are voting for McCain it could help Republicans all the way down the ticket, even in a year when the Democrats should be [...]
The latest ad from the campaign of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), the GOP presidential nominee, references a report from the Wall Street Journal that says “Democrats have airdropped a mini-army of 30 lawyers, investigators and opposition researchers” into Alaska to dig up dirt on Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK), McCain’s running mate.
Obama takes exception to the [...]
A poll came out this week that shows that most of the world wants Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) to win the U.S. presidential election.
All 22 countries covered in the poll would prefer to see Senator Obama elected US president ahead of Republican John McCain.
Some people think that means something. Of course, most of those [...]
There’s a dustup going on now … I’m sure you’ve heard it … regarding Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), the Democrats’ presidential nominee … making the “lipstick on a pig” comment. The fallout is that it’s considered by many as a direct attack on Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK), the GOP vice-presidential running mate of presidential nominee [...]
