Indeed, the story could not come at a more inopportune time for the McCain campaign. During a week in which the Republican ticket is trying to highlight its connection to the working class -- and, by extension, promoting its newest campaign tool, Joe the Plumber -- it was revealed that Palin's fashion budget for several weeks was more than four times the median salary of an American plumber ($37,514). To put it another way: Palin received more valuable clothes in one month than the average American household spends on clothes in 80 years.
- Didn't the Republican party spend 150k+ in the month of September on her wardrobe? Yes... they are in touch...********
- and Obama's wife? come on. You can't win with you guys. You called her "white trash" and then she dresses well and you call her a moneywaster********
- you call her a moneywaster********
- Mrs Obama earned her money********
- and clearly she can spend it as she sees fit. She is not getting a wardrobe handout from the DNC.********

How can this be?!
The poll, which found Obama at 44 percent and McCain at 43 percent, supports what some Republicans and Democrats privately have said in recent days: that the race narrowed after the third debate as GOP-leaning voters drifted home to their party and McCain's "Joe the plumber" analogy struck a chord.

Very racist, I know.- showing Bush as chimp is just as offensive and wrong. But because you are fair and balanced in a Fox kind of way- you want a pass. Sophist.********

- A comment on race? Well get used to it, that's going to be inevitable if Obama wins. Even from his own kind.********
- They'll be calling him an "Uncle Tom, hasn't paid his slavery family right dues" if he wins. I can see it now.********
- But still, please explain. You all support evolution for the most part. We all come from chimps. Racist? I think not!********

Zogby Battleground Poll: McCain Regains Indiana; Obama Still Surpasses Electoral Threshold With 273
http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNe…Zogby Interactive polling of 10 Presidential battleground states has shown John McCain capturing a significant lead - for the time being - in the state of Indiana, causing the Hoosier State to move from purple to Republican red. The move increases the ticket of John McCain and Sarah Palin to 174 Electoral College votes in the Zogby calculation.
We shall see my friends.

JazX "From his own kind" What kind is that? Intelligent adults?

"I'm still confused, you're going to have to explain to me what is the difference. BushChimp or ObamaChimp? Enlighten."
- JazXLet me spell it out for you dumbass. Monkeys/chimps are characters for a couple of different things depending on context. They can imply curiousity and mischief.
In the case of George W. Bush one can reasonably say that he resembles, and shares namesake with the cartoon Curious George. Insulting, maybe? But more of a light hearted jab than anything else.
Insunuating that a black man is a monkey or a chimp has racial overtones. And if you don't believe me here is a lovely website made up of rascist jackholes discussing their favorite terms to call African Americans (warning: incredibly offensive):
http://www.chimpout.com/forum/sh…
Now JazX either you know this and are fucking around which makes you a complete and actual asshole racist, or you don't and you're just dumb.
If you still question it's usage, please visit an African-American community in your neighborhood and call any random person a "monkey". Please have a friend along with a video camera because I'd really like to watch what happens next.
Either way, consider that you now have enlightenment on the issue.

- Ohh no, I grew up in an African-American area and lived in Africa.********
- Now, back to my question, how is it you can compare Obama? he looks like curious too.********
- And you called all your african-american buddies "Monkey" and they were cool with that, eh?TheBlueOne
- Don't lie.calcium
- You've answered my question about you. Thank you.TheBlueOne
- Racial overtones? Most Democrats believe in evolution, no? I can't also compare Obama to a chimp?********
- I don't call people "chimps". I posted a picture of a chimp and Obama '08. And then showed bushchimp.com.********
- According to evolution, and the migration of homosapiens, haven't some groups retained certain traits?********
- BTW, how Liberal of you all to judge me for posting both the Obama pic and Bush-Chimp website. Fair and Even********
- You only posted the Bush-chimp website because you knew you were being racist. That's called "back peddling"calcium

JazX,
I will explain to you the difference between slapping an Obama logo below a Curious George eating a banana image and putting a picture of Bush next to a chimp making a similar face. I'm only doing this because you can't seem to have an argument without pulling a Pee Wee Herman "I know you are but what am I?" like phrase and claiming ignorance to MULTIPLE racist posts.
In the instance of the Bush images, they are a commentary on his intelligence and reference to many people joking that he is low on the evolutionary chain with regards to intellect. Not that juxtaposition would make a big difference with regards to the Obama argument, but this obviously does reference the simian emotion charts.
Putting an image of Curious George above an Obama '08 logo is a blatant and obvious image of racism. The image is not making fun or poking fun at his intelligence, but they are obviously just straight up calling him a "monkey" which is a reaction due to race. The thing is, people have used not only the term "monkey" or "porch monkey" to degrade African Americans in the past, but Curious George was also used by various KKK and skinhead movements in the past in their propaganda.
So hopefully this clears things up for you.
Also, I found this video of your dad.

- Thanks for that windbag explanation. Same; same. If GWb looks like curious, I can justly also compare Obama.********
- And as for the KKK, be careful what you wish for with Obama. You might see that again.********
- At least a larger increase in it and more private clubs, etc.********

i don't agree with your political views, JazX, but I occasionally listen to you because you are intelligent and respectable and present a point of view to be considered ...
hahhaha. no that's really not true.
