Palin paid off in the ratings for McCain. She got 37.2 million viewers so now it's up to McCain to make his post NFL season opener spot on NBC really pay off.

I still haven't read why yet but apparently Obama got $8 million in contributions after her speech.

I'm looking forward to seeing Obama on Bill O'Reily's show tonight at 8:00 est. That should be very interesting. Obama is showing a lot of guts going on that show.

In respect to taxes it seems the facts actually outweigh what Palin pointed out. He is going to raise taxes on small business. I just dont get how that will help people with jobs as small businesses employ 80% of the nation's workforce.

[George008]

He represents my district. (Westmoreland). I've meet him several times. He is a great man. I think the term uppity can be used to describe a person of any color. How is it racially tinged?

I lost your respect. Oh darn! As if I give a [!@#$%^&*].

[George008]

Well said.

EXACTLY!!

The fact IS Casey that this statement that is being used over and over again by the Obama campaign IS TRUE. The Obama/Biden campaign's latest commercial about McCain and W being the same proves it with John McCain shown in a clip admitting to have voted 90% of the time with W's policies. So if you're saying Obama/Biden and their campaign and their supporters here on SON are lying, then you're calling John McCain a liar too, which is true, but not in this instance. LOL

Ask McCain, he said it as well. See Above.

Again see above.

Again see above!

So it's ok to fire city employees for not supporting you in an election and for wanting to ban books in a library and for

leaving the city that you were mayor of in a $20 million debt?!?!?!?!?

Very racially tinged. "Uppity" has been used by racists for years to describe blacks or other minorities who are trying to make themselves better.

Funny As Hell! Jess!

Anyone know if this commericial is on youtube? I would like to see McCain saying this...

OBAMA VOTED WITH BUSH 90% OF THE TIME

August 29, 2008 by lucidpenny

Now that I have your attention…

If Barack Obama wants to claim that a McCain presidency is just another Bush term because McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time, I imagine that McCain might be able to spout similar percentages about Obama.

After all, how often did Obama vote with Bush? That’s something I think the public might be interested to know.

According to Dick Morris on Fox News tonight, he said that most of the votes taken on the floor are unanimous because, and I am paraphrasing, “they are often voting on things they are all in agreement about.”

It would be interesting if McCain would bring up this issue to put that whole “MORE OF THE SAME–ANOTHER BUSH TERM” bumper sticker to rest.

Then McCain should go one step further and “explain specifically” on which important issues of our time that he (McCain) and Barack DIFFERED and the reasoning process that went into his decision.

The mere fact that McCain or Obama voted with President Bush a certain percentage of the time means nothing unless we also consider which issues caused them to part ways and vote differently.

Most votes in the Senate are unanimous! So that would mean that for most of those votes where McCain was voting "with Bush" you would find every Democrat voting right along with McCain. Funny we don't see that in the mainstream media. Fact is, where there is an actual contested and meaningful vote in the Senate you'll find McCain voting "with Bush" only 45% of the time.

She is known for firing the status quo and shaking up government. What is this $20 mil figure based on? I have not heard this from any other source besides you guys that keep throwing it out here.

Not where I was born and raised. Which is GA right in the thick of "racist" country. Uppity here means "snobby". It seems every attack on Obama is some form or fashion racially motivated.

Yeah, funny...not to mention beyond rude and sophmoric.

[George008]

Ya'll should watch Obama on O'Reily. It's coming on in about 3 minutes. I'm gonna go check it out.

I am a black man who finds that term PATENTLY OFFENSIVE. And I haveNEVER heard anyone but someone of color refered to as uppity.

It's really too bad you don't see a problem with it.

[Wales2004]

I think that often during the course of exchanging opnions because we're not constantly looking at the post that may have generated a specific reaction, some of the "meat" gets lost.

The word "uppity" can certainly be applied to anyone but it's been more commonly applied as you've noted above. If anyone wants to defend this idiotic statement then I'd love to hear what it really means:

"Just from what little I've seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they're a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they're uppity," Westmoreland said.

From seeing very little of this couple he can tell what their background is and that they're of an elite class that thinks they're uppity. Is anyone willing to agree with him that the Obamas actually think of themselves as uppity? It's a moronic statement period.

Unless he's saying the same thing about other people who have paid their dues and are now in a higher income bracket because of it and are striving to achieve higher goals in life, then the very least one can say about this is it is idiotic.
