Eric — if you’re going to make acquisitions about something having to do with US Tax Code, perhaps you’ll want to know something about what you’re taking about first.

501(c) is an IRS classification for non-profit tax exempt organizations. This organizations includes arts, science, health, humanities, religious etc. groups are EXPLICITLY PROHIBITED from engaging in ANY political activity WHATSOEVER.

What I suspect you’re thinking about are 527 groups. They are radically different animals than 501(c) organizations.

So, before you start burning down museums, churches, or hospitals take a little consideration of where you’re putting the match.

As to the rest of the post — listen to what’s actually coming out of McCain and Palin’s mouths! For shit sake, they might not be in control [ha ha ha, McCain = Control, that's precious] of the campaign but they sure as hell are in control of what comes out of their own mouths.

If my mother heard me talk like McCain or Palin I would have a bar of Ivory soap in my mouth faster than I could say another word.

This goes to the point of honesty and goodness, both of which are clearly terms and intellectual challenges that McCain and Palin are not up to.

#17 – Not to be technical, but if you had a dollar for every man, woman, and child alive today you would only have roughly $6.7B. Clearly not enough for a bailout

Friends,

I believe that certain fringe elements of the Republican Party fall into that rare category of sub human beings that believe what we have been telling them, poor bastards.

You know the kind. You’re at a party in Scranton telling Irish jokes and one of these drunk idiots walks over thinks you’re calling him names, so he punches you out.

People that think we are serious just can’t throw a joke.

#17, john,

If i had a dollar for everytime I have heard the words “dumb” and “stupid” come out of an Obama supporter’s mouth I would be able to fund another bailout!

That doesn’t speak too well of the Republican Party.

Ron Larson says:

He’s [Obama] is an Arab? What the hell is she smoking?

Steven Long says:

And in that clip I see a glimmer of the McCain I’ve liked for so long. A reasonable man that is for ‘doing what is right for the nation’ instead of ‘doing what is right to get elected.’

Of course if he thinks he can do better for the nation by getting elected he mike get a bit fuzzy headed.

I fear that the campaign is going to divide America significantly and Obama will win, be handed an angry nation looking for scapegoats as the economy slogs along. Obama is inheriting bad times, I guess it could give him the opportunity to impress, or it could damn him to being a one term president.

OmegaMan says:

McCain is an American first and a Republican second. My views differ from McCain and have voted democrat all of my life. But I truly believe he is a decent American and this is not a direct wanted artifact of his campaign, though he wants to paint doubt about Obama but that is politics.

Heck I have a brother on the far left who thinks Clinton was a Republican president. Trust me there are flakes and nuts on both sides….(not that my brother is a flake, but sometimes a nut).

Greg Allen says:

Americans are desperate for a leader with positive ideas to get us out of this economic quagmire the conservatives have led us into.

Meanwhile, McCain has gone 100% negative in his campaign.

This has been the main campaign strategy for the GOP since Nixon.

For a change, it’s biting the GOP candidate in the butt and McCain is trying to get out of it.

Does McCain REALLY respect Obama? I doubt it.

Pagon says:

-#34 Stephanie, Ask your grandfather if he would vote for a black republican presidential candidate? (like that will ever happen)

“Even McCain is embarrassed by the ignorance of his own supporters.”
No he’s not. He counted on it (they all do, to a degree). It took so long for him to be embarrassed, because his tactics are coming back to bite him.

If his divisive, code worded racism continued to work – and it still may – he wouldn’t be embarrassed at all. Then we’d hear his inaugural address exhorting all Americans to pull together yada yada yada. Sound familiar?

“Maverick McCain has let his party run over him to run his election.”
“McCain has lost control of his campaign”
Can’t control his campaign?

What? What?

He’s the candidate – It’s his campaign – He’s responsible for it. End of story.

I’m really sick of hearing how the people in charge are victimized by their evil subordinates and followers, therefore, we should let them off the hook.

Poor George – victimized by Rumsfeld and Cheney. Poor John – victimized by his supporters. BALONEY!

Find the courage to see things as they are. In other words, grow up.

R.O.P. says:

Sadly these morons live close to my neighborhood. Kind of reminds me of Paddy-O. I am moving out of the country if McCain/Palin win.
