I just got an e-mail from the Move AMerica Forward PAC and they said a number of media outlets in Michigan are reporting that the Obama campaign is pulling out of Mi. Have you heard anything about this and could it be as good as they make it sound? If so McCain and Palin should get back in there. AJ,

I've never heard him say the current level of spending is a given. Even Obama doesn't say it's a given, he promises to increase gov spending, with increased taxes. KB

We waste more money than can be imagined and that is where a good POTUS would challenge the first and last dollar for every program. Taxes don't have to go up if spending is controlled and limited to true societal needs. McCain should have taken this on in all government departments, even defense, which would have given him more credibility as a true reformer. Make them justify even single penny they extort from us.....that is why we have a second amendment, to keep the theives as honest as possible.

There he is, in his own front yard when Obama doing a house to house approaches with his entourage. The next thing you know Joe asked a question and because Obama's answer was more telling than he intended for it to be, Joe gets the axe. Unbelievable. These people hate average Americans. People like Palin and Joe just piss them off. The amazing thing about all this, is that Joe could be any of us.

Excellent! On another note, the Supreme court is making me very upset re: Ohio/Brunner. AJ, can you get Mark Levin or someone smart on this issue to explain what is going on?

Will it happen? Of course not. Why, it wouldn't be bipartisan. Tell the truth about your Marxist, America hating opponent? McCain wouldn't dream of it! Stock up on ammunition folks.

Show enough small business owners that they are going to have to learn not to earn too much they might think twice on voting for BO. "BO's tax policy, it stinks." I can imagine what the US would look like if he gets in, just look at the old clips of the USSR. Well at least we'll have plenty of new Russian friends immigrating, enjoying the good ole days. OT AJ: Does any of the poling take into account military votes, and which way they are siding, and if the votes will be counted?

As others have pointed out , as important as the issue is of the treatment Joe is getting at the hands of the press and the left, it is important not to lose site of what has them in this feeding frenzy. Partially it is an attempt to kill the messenger but it is also an attempt to distract that Obama basically admitted that he was going to implement socialism under the color of law. Even the jabs McCain put into his roast speech at the Al Smith dinner last night were right on the money and hit Obama hard.
