Barack seemed determined to stay on topic and discuss the differences in their policies, even when McCain tried to blame Obama for the negative ads McCain's campaign put out, by stating that Obama wouldn't do town hall format campaigning that McCain favors.
In my opinion, there are other ways to compete, than running a negative campaign, if your opponent doesn't want to use your preferred format. I believe McCain's negative campaign strategy was a last ditch effort because McCain could not win if he stuck to talking about the real issues. He didn't have a winning economic strategy, and he had supported Bush in too many bad judgment calls.
Barack focused on education, jobs, healthcare, and tax breaks for average working Americans, and I believe that is what is important. That's what people want to hear about.
Sitting down at a table was good for McCain, since it seemed to quill his urge to roam aimlessly around the stage

TROOPERGATE - GUILTY - 10/10/08
SARAH PALIN was found GUILTY by the Alaskan legislature's
by-partisen committy (of 10 republicans and 4 democrats),
of abusing her power as governor of Alaska by terminating
Water Monegan (Alaska's public safety commissioner) for
refusing to fire Sarah Palin's ex-brother-in-law.
When the investigation began, Sarah said she would cooperate
but, after entering into the politican campaign, that changed.
McCain's campaign tried to squash many supeanas from going out.
Palin committed an ethical violation by using her husband, Todd,
to speak to over 16 state employees regarding her former brother
in-law (a state trooper) in her attempt to get him fired. She then
lied to the people of Alaska when asked about the situation.

RETINAL SCAN to VOTE - retina ID database If we can retina scan cattle,
we should be able to retina scan people to verify their ID when voting.
Our current voting system is old and allows tampering. It needs to be updated
to use 21st century technology. Retina scan, paper trail, and a copy of each
individual voter's activity printed out (on location) for that voter. Let's stop the games.

Andy Martin - The Man Behind the Whispers About Obama
By JIM RUTENBERG
Published: October 12, 2008
The most persistent falsehood about Senator Barack Obama’s
background first hit in 2004 just two weeks after the
Democratic convention speech that helped set him on the
path to his presidential candidacy: “Obama is a Muslim
who has concealed his religion.” Andy Martin is known for filing many lawsuits.
That statement, contained in a press release, spun a complex tale
about the ancestry of Mr. Obama, who is Christian.
The press release was picked up by a conservative Web site,
FreeRepublic.com, and spread steadily as others elaborated on
its claims over the years in e-mail messages, Web sites
and books. It continues to drive other false rumors about
Mr. Obama’s background.
Just last Friday, a woman told Senator John McCain at a
town-hall-style meeting, “I have read about him,” and
“he’s an Arab.” Mr. McCain corrected her.
Until this month, the man who is widely credited with
starting the cyberwhisper campaign that still dogs Mr. Obama
was a secondary character in news reports, with deep explorations
of his background largely confined to liberal blogs.
But an appearance in a documentary-style program on the
Fox News Channel watched by three million people last week
thrust the man, Andy Martin, and his past into the foreground.
The program allowed Mr. Martin to assert falsely and without challenge
that Mr. Obama had once trained to overthrow the government. An examination of legal documents and election filings,
along with interviews with his acquaintances, revealed
Mr. Martin, 62, to be a man with a history of scintillating
if not always factual claims. He has left a trail of animosity —
some of it provoked by anti-Jewish comments — among
political leaders, lawyers and judges in three states
over more than 30 years.
He is a law school graduate, but his admission to the Illinois bar
was blocked in the 1970s after a psychiatric finding of
“moderately severe character defect manifested by well-documented
ideation with a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character.”

I saw a news story that stated the sport of hunting has
increased by approximately 75% during the past 5 or 6
years, mostly due to girls and women taking up the sport.
The director of the Texas Wildlife Association, Greg
Simons said that girls and women have been an untapped
resource for them, and that states need the money from
selling hunting licenses because the money helps to pay
for wildlife protection.
I do not approve of killing for sport. If the wild animal
poses a threat to your life, your family, or your crops,
of course, I believe one should defend one's self.
Sometimes a species becomes over populated, starvation
can become a problem. In that instance, I believe hunting
is a good thing, as long as the meat is used by the hunter
to feed his/her family. And we need transparent oversight
to ensure there is enough land for wild animals to live on.
I believe a hunting license should only be issued when
the applicant has achieved a 9:10 kill to shot ratio when
tested, by the State, on a range in which the same type
of animal (which the applicant is applying for the license)
is emulated by a computerized, life size target that moves
with the same speed and agility of that overpopulated
animal (similar to police/military pop-ups of humans).
If we are going to teach children to hunt, we must also
remember our responsibility to teach them humanity.

As polls have shown Obama steadily increasing his lead this week,
McCain's campaign ads have become extremely negative, and on
the trail, Sarah Palin has told some nasty lies about Obama.
McCain supporters have launched email and blog attacks containing
false statements leading people to believe that Senator Obama is
not a U.S. citizen, that his Hawaiian birth certificate is fabricated,
that he is a terrorist, that he is the anti-christ, and much more.
As a result, McCain's supporters (as a whole) have become much
more hostile in their reaction toward Obama. They seem to fear him
to the point that McCain, at recent rallies, stated that Barack Obama
is a decent family man, citizen, and that people should not fear
Obama if he became president.
Did McCain and his campaign go too far in their negative and false
claims about Obama, to the point that they have unwittingly
endangered Obama's life, should he become our next president?
What effect would it have on the republican party if they are viewed
as accomplices in something of this nature?
What would happen to McCain's career if he was seen by the public
as the instigator of such a tragedy?
Has the republican party realized they have gone too far in their
attempt to smear a good, intelligent American citizen who is fully
qualified to be president of the United States?

The debate went well for both McCain and Obama. Attacks during the debate, were not as prevalent as recent ads might have indicated. McCain threw some punches, but Obama came back strong and drove his message home. Obama seemed to be more specific about how he plans to correct the problems facing American families.
Obama is determined to fight for the middle class working people, where McCain stated he plans to give tax breaks to everyone, including the most wealthy.
Obama was also clearly in favor of renewing relations with our allies to more effectively deal with problems in Pakistan, Iran, and other countries. I believe Obama won this debate.

FOX NEWS REPORTERS, Many bloggers have posted on your site,
that Barack Obama is not a U.S. citizen. Have any FOX NEWS REPORTERS
investigated this issue? Have they discovered the truth for bloggers who
are confused about this issue? What facts do you know about Barack Obama?

I was pleasantly surprised that Sarah was able to speak coherently
during the debate with Joe. She was much better than in her interview
with Katie Couric. I was a bit disappionted that she failed to answer
some of the questions she was asked, and was unable to communicate
any differences between the Bush administration, and McCain-Palin.
That concerns me because the Bush policies have been such a disaster.
I think Joe did very well in the debate. He stayed on the issues, and even
answered the questions being asked. I imagine it was a little easier for
Joe to address about the questions since he had dealt first-hand with many
of the issues, where as Palin's inexperience restricted her responses to
topics she had been preped to talk about.
Sarah did far better than I expected, but Joe won the debate hands-down.

Is ANYTHING from Toxic China safe? Poison from China.
We've seen many reports about toxic products from China.
Some are: milk, chocolate, toys, chairs, jewelry, furniture,
pet food, paint, pills, toothpaste and more. What do you
buy from China? Is the reason you buy Chinese products
because factories that used to make those items inside the
United States have moved overseas to take advantage of
cheap labor? Obama wants to renegociate some of our
trade agreements which give foreign countries an unfair
advantage. Would we have better quality control for items
which are produced in the U.S.?
