I don't see why they didn't do it earlier. Wright was the biggest influence on Obama. He is a hateful anti-American, anti-white, Marxist asswipe.

Its about time McCain uses Rev. Wright, Michael Phlager and all the other America and White hating friends of the Manchurian Candidate.
Riots will be no big surprise. After all we owe the minorities this president right? They normally get what they want and when they don't get what they want, they have temper tantrums in the form of riots.

Uuugghhh...this campaign frustrates me. This should have been an issue for McCain when the media was running with it. Now,it will look like they are desperate...that is what the media said about the Ayers association,even tho it is quite a legitimate question.
Pretty sad when a white man is afraid to lash out at a racist black man for fear of being called racist.He had good reason to bring him up. I don't get why McCain would have worried about it,the media was bound to start calling the campaign racist sooner or later anyway. Rev Wright was a big issue. If he had been a white preacher of McCain's...I cannot even imagine what the backlash would have been.

It's about time.
If John McCain had worked closely with V.I. Lenin, and attended his lectures for 20 years, would that be a legitimate campaign issue, now that McCain is running for President? Of course it would be.
The liberals had successfully scared McCain into not pointing out Obama's close relation with Jeremiah Wright, by threatening to call him a "racist" if he did.
Awfully late for McCain to be growing a set of stones. Hopefully it's better late than never.

Actually, all of this should have been done since June. :rolleyes:

Check the map out, check out McCain's total solid and leaning then checkout how many tossups there are left and given the fact that none of the solid or leaning states will change because of the leads there you will find that there are simply not enough electoral votes out there for Johnny Lib to get elected.

Its all you RINOS have left, you have no realistic stance on the issues.
What you fail time and again to realize is the American people could give a shit less about past relationships but care only about positions taken going forward on the economy, Iraq etc. etc. and the RINO is getting walloped on those.
The way I and a shitload of others see it is he can go out gracefully and still have some dignity left in the Senate or he can make a dick out of himself and be powerless in the Senate...............his choice because he ain't got a prayer of winning now.

Didn't you state early in the primaries, and admit as much a couple of days ago, that the polls don't mean "jack shit". Why are you suddenly so obsessed with them? Do you really think polls that sample .00001% of our population are accurate? And if so, how accurate were they when Kerry had a 4% lead in the final days in 2004?

The national poll really does not matter, check out the battleground states polls and the electoral map, those have not changed in weeks, you really think they are wrong no matter the number sampled?

The sampling rates for the battleground states are generally asking about 300-500 people. I find that to be an EXTREMELY low sampling rate. Some are higher, but the rates are still very low. Let's also not forget that 90% of these "polls" suck. Some even admit for example: "Sample was 547 voters, 298 of whom are democrat, 200 republican and 49 undecided voters." Again, just an example, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out they haven't asked THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS in those states, and the sampling themselves are already skewered by WHO they polled.

Do you have a link? According to my memory the average of polls constantly showed a slight Bush lead and near the end showed him above 50%. At this time, according to what I remember, Bush had 49% in the average of polls, while Kerry had 47%, in the last week Bush barely passed 50%.

The same Annenberg Foundation that both Ayers and Obama worked for in Chicago?
Ayers applied for and received a grant from the Annenberg Foundation for The Chicago Annenberg Challenge. While Annenberg himself worked for a Republican administration, the Foundation is not about politics:

The Annenberg Foundation.
Wanna try that again?
The same Annenberg Foundation that both Ayers and Obama worked for in Chicago?
Yep, it was founded by former members of the Reagan admin., various members of the foundation served with Obama and Ayres, its been thouroughly vetted.
the Foundation is not about politics:
And neither was Obama's relationship with Ayres nor was it about anything other than education, its been vetted, most people realize this by now, thats the reson it didn't get any traction.
Wanna try that again?
Nope, its a non issue according to the voters and that shows it was non political and strictly about education.

Just checking. I do find that their Fact Check sight seems to be fairly even handed.

Your simpleton replies cannot hide the fact that the Ayres connection is being dismissed as nothing more than two guys who served on the same committeee, its getting zero traction from the citizens of the U.S.
If you wanna call that flaming fine, go ahead, but we both know differently.

Yep, that's the case and your leading the herd.
Listen to what the press tells you, its all you need to know. Then fall in line.

You see you are dead wrong, Americans compared the two candidates, found that Obama's economic plan is far superior...........you know the one where the middle class gets a tax cut............and that they were about even on foriegn policy then they watched McCain pick a dimwit for a running mate and get schooled in the debates and bingo bango Obama is way out front and is headed to victory.

So your assertion is that Americans are nothing but a bunch of dumbass sheep?
you really think that the media does not hold sway over the masses? how many times has the media reported something and the nation eats it up only to later find out its not true....even you are not that naive.
if the media were not so powerful, why is it the dems are crying about the fairness doctrine...
