These are facts about McCain, his family, his life and all the mistruths that he likes to brag about. Please take the time to watch these and you may be shocked.People everywhere have the right to know these things about John McCain.He is no maverick. He would be a disaster as President. He is strictly out for John McCain and has proven he will say or do anything to get elected.Please help Barack and share these facts. McCain’s campaign is getting nastier.
Thanks, LuAnn

When did yellow journalism come back in style? (“Yellow journalism is journalism that downplays legitimate news in favor of eye-catching headlines that sell more newspapers.”) I used to love checking my news sites every day. The local papers website, CNN, MSNBC; but now it seems that these sites are more about stories and headlines that will gain readers attention rather than important stories. It makes me sick that ever since John McCain chose Sarah Palin as his vice –president running mate, the news has IGNORED the important issues. No one should care about Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter. They should care about her stances on birth control; abstinence only based sexual education programs, and earmarks. It makes me sick that when Barack Obama used the phrase “you can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig,” the media overplayed stories about the topic rather than noting the fact that the quote was used in John McCain’s political advisor’s own book.
I am ashamed of the profession that I once full heartedly wanted to become a part of. I still want to become a part of it, but so I can try to help end the false smears and allegations that come up in the news all of the time. It is not right.
Since when did news outlets not point it out when a politician was lying? John McCain’s numerous false claims on Barack Obama need to be proven wrong. The media ignoring an issue and not investigating the claims is just as bad as making things up. It just makes me wonder if ALL of the mainstream news outlets are completely bought out by major corporations. We all know Fox News is hopeless. It should be “Faux News.” It disgusts me and cracks me up all at once. If you go to Fox News “POLITICAL” section
http://elections.foxnews.com/ I mean it might as well be called the “Sarah Palin” section.
Hopefully America can do the research for themselves before listening to these “accredited” news sources for the facts.
I am not sure if you got to see Barack on the Letterman show last night but he was fantastic.

I just posted this video on the DIGG site and really would appreciate you going there and digging it.
I took a swipe at McCain and how his VP pick was strictly a political move and how Barack vetted Joe and made "HIS OWN DECISION".
If we can get enough Diggs on it it will possibly be in the top 10 of the day and everyone will see it.
It would be super exposure for Barack as he commented on the stupid "lipstick on a pig" controversy and made some other great comments on several things. He showed both Humor and also made some great POLITICAL points!
Please take a minute, watch the video and PLEASE go to DIGG.com and digg it. The Republicans have been burrying some of our good stories on the DIGG site so PLEASE help!
I had great seats for the Obama event in Terre Haute. I took some pictures and made a couple of video clips.
See the photos. Viewing them as a slideshow works best.
See the videos I got from my seat.
Several of the major news organizations were there. There's a 10-minute professional video of part of the event, too.
It was a great event! Thanks to all the folks who worked to make it happen.

I wrote this for my personal blog, www.kristenszatny.blogspot.com which as of lately seems to have a political theme. I research all my blogs and put my opinion in them too. But the facts are true. Anyway I just though I would share this information with you:
John McCain announced today his choice for his vice president running mate. She is the governor of Alaska. Before I give you my opinion on his choice I will list some TRUE facts about Sarah Palin.* she is 44 years old* she was the first woman to be elected the governor of Alaska in 2006* she served two terms on the Alaska City Council and was elected mayor of Wassila, Alaska* she has a journalism degree* she was involved in beauty pageants and came second place in the Miss Alaska pageant* she worked as a news anchor as well as a commercial fisher woman with her husband* she is PRO-LIFE even in rape cases- She has five children one with down syndrome* she is pro-religion being taught in schools* she opposes same sex marriage- Her first veto was to kill a bill allowing rights to same sex partners*She doesn't believe in global warming* She sued the Interior Department for listing polar bears on the list of almost extinct animals* Wants to drill for oil in the arctic* Pro-death penaltyMy opinion is that John McCain is a hypocrite. He talks about Obama being young and inexperienced for the job. Granted she is running for Vice-President, not president, but if and when McCain has a heart attack and dies, she would be leading us. Obama is way more qualified to run for political office than her. Not just because he has a few more years, but because he CARES. He talks to the people, finds what they want solved and tries to do it. It doesn't seem like she has any motivation at all. I believe McCain chose her because as a woman he feels like the Hillary Clinton supporters that aren't backing Obama just yet- will vote for him. I would love to hear from a conservative about how they feel about this choice. What do you think Sarah Palin will positively bring to the table?
But what I will not do is suggest that the senator takes his positions for political purposes. Because one of the things that we have to change in our politics is the idea that people cannot disagree without challenging each other's character and each other's patriotism.
The times are too serious, the stakes are too high for this same partisan playbook. So let us agree that patriotism has no party. I love this country, and so do you, and so does John McCain. The men and women who serve in our battlefields may be Democrats and Republicans and independents, but they have fought together and bled together and some died together under the same proud flag. They have not served a Red America or a Blue America -- they have served the United States of America."
It's like he is taking the higher road. He is not going to sling mud or slander the name of John McCain. He just HONESTLY wants to look out for the best interest of the people. I believe even if he doesn't win the election (which he better) he will still work just as hard to make sure things happen.
The convention watch was a success. According to the local newspaper online there were 80-150 people in the crowd watching. It was a great audience in Terre Haute. I hope that a lot of the people there will get involved in the parade this upcoming Monday as well as helping to register people to vote over the weekend.
Good job to whomever set up this convention watching event!
I have been a Barack Obama supporter from the start. I mean I always liked Hillary Clinton as well, but Obama just stood out to me more! I have written several articles about him on my personal blog. I have decided as it is getting closer and closer to the election that I want to get involved! I want to help in anyway that I can in getting him elected as the next President of the United States because I believe in change. I believe Obama can change and fix our country back to the respected nation it once was.
I believe everyone is entitled to their opinions. I also believe if people were properly eduacted instead of just listening to slander and mudslinging, they would see that Obama IS the BEST choice to lead our country into the future.
So far I have invited several friends and my mother to sign up for this site. I have also been trying to look for local groups in Terre Haute, Indiana (I JUST RECENTLY MOVED HERE ABOUT A MONTH AGO FROM SOUTH NJ/PHILADELPHIA). I want to try to get as involved as possible even though I have no campaigning experience.
Well here we are 4 weeks away from the Indiana Primary...
Indiana is a close state. Barack can win. And if he does it's my opinion that the race will be over.
So, LET'S GO INDIANA!
