What do you expect from a pit bull with lipstick ay?

In a recent Fox News interview she also said the following statement about the situation in Afghanistan disqualifies Obama from being commander in chief:

"We've got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there."

-Barack Obama

Stating the truth and the obvious is a bad thing I guess. If I were advising her I would advice her not to take any advice from Mitt Romney.

Wow. Throwing the Hail Mary already. Doesn't look good for the Republicans.

i thought we were past all of this...

There really isn't a connection between Obama and Ayers to talk about. This was brought up in the primaries and didn't and shouldn't go anywhere.

That said, it bugs the @$%#^ out of me that Ayers is walking around, let alone a "distinguished" professor. The man should be behind bars.

I congratulate the McCain campaign! I congratulate John McCain. You are excellent scumbags.

[hooskins]

Wow this is a bit too far.

Palin is trying, I think, here to scare the most ignorant of people out there with this statement. The problem is that, especially at this point in the game, it doesn't matter because the likelihood of the people who actually believe there is a legit connection between Ayers and Obama voting is close to nil. She's wasting her time.

And now Obama is about to hit back at the McCain campaign with an attack about McCain's connections to the Keating Five scandal, which is quite a bit more legit.

These last few weeks will be ugly, to say the least.

Funny how people get so upset when the Rep. point out people that Obama has associated with in his past. Her statement was true and if he does win office who will he surround himself with then. Va. right now is getting hit with one Obama comercial after another and all except one are negative so he has no room to talk.

[dmek25]

it was proven there was little or no connection between the two. i guess McCain doesn't want to let a little thing like facts stand in the way. and smooty is right. i just got the video obama is going to release about senator McCain, and the Keating 5

The so called "connection" is pretty weak and is an obvious smear attempt... and a pretty bad one at that. I thought the Maverick was against this sort of crap?

You'll do a lot of things people wouldn't expect when you see your last chance at the highest office slipping away...though quite honestly, I really believe McCain was not behind that. That said, he is the leader of that ship and the buck stops with him.

As for Obama's connections, sure he is "connected" to some questionable characters. But so is Clinton, so is Bush...and so is McCain. How about we point out some of McCain's shady connections? This is politics, not pre-school.

And as for the racism slant, well that's stupid. Simply stupid.

I wish.

But more than anything else I wish people would shut their traps and stick to the issues. This "connection" campaign on both sides are weak attempts to sway votes. If anything else, it turns me off to the candidate that throws the connections out in the first place. Maybe if the candidates actually cared about sticking to the actual issues, like fixing the economy, as much as they do trying to screw over the other person's campaign, we wouldn't be in such a grand mess like we are now. (Or at least would be a step closer to fixing it)

Geez. I wish these political idiots would grow up.
