McCain lobbed attacks on Obama today as the markets were in freefall.

Republican John McCain is calling Democratic rival Barack Obama a liar.

The GOP presidential candidate told a campaign rally: "Sen. Obama has accused me of opposing regulation to avert this crisis. I guess he believes if a lie is big enough and repeated often enough it will be believed."


Read more about the turmoil in the markets today.

It has been another extraordinary and traumatic day on Wall Street, with the Dow Jones industrials plunging as much as 800 points before closing with a loss of about 350.

The catalyst for the frantic selling was investors' growing realization that the credit crisis is likely to take a heavy toll around the world. And while the Bush administration is starting to implement its $700 billion financial rescue plan, that and steps taken by other governments won't be enough to stop the global spread of credit troubles.

Sarah Palin is inciting hat-e and spre-ading absolute lies about 0bama. Sar-ah speaking in t-ong-ues, excuse me "fa-lse" tongues Palin is no Christian. She is what you call a neo-con period.

Don't go to church, Palin, and pretend you're a christian, when you are breaking the ninth commandment: Thou shalt not bear false witness.

Who are these right wing radi-cal evangelicals who pray on Sunday and si-n from Monday to Saturday? Spre-ading h-ate and li-es and praying to God to ra-in on 0bama's acceptance speach is not going to win you the election, lady.

Does "how society treats its most vulnerable" include driving bums, drug addicts and felons to the polls on the last day of "register and vote on the same day with no address verification necessary" and bribing them with cigarettes, money and liquor to vote for Obama?

Um.....Hyp­no? Do you want to take that back?

LA Times: Gov. Charlie Crist last week announced that, thanks to a new rule he enacted, about 115,000 felons who had completed their sentences had become eligible under his administration to have their civil rights restored. Liberal groups such as People for the American Way hope to track down even more who could have their rights restored in time to permit them to register and vote in November.

Experts say felons are disproportionately black and, if they can be found, more likely to be Obama backers.

Barack Obama holds a 20 point lead in the polls in terms of the public's enthusiasm for their candidate.
Fifty-eight percent of Obama voters say they are very enthusiastic about their candidate, while only 38 percent of John McCain voters say the same about the Arizona senator.

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is moving further ahead in all national polls Monday in the wake of economic downturn and financial crisis

The latest CNN survey found Obama now leads McCain 53 to 45 percent, doubling the 4-point lead Obama held in the last CNN poll in mid-September.

The Gallup daily tracking poll also show Obama leads by 8 percent, with 50 percent of the respondents supporting him and 42 percent supporting McCain.

In all other national polls, Obama's leading margins range from6 to 8 percent.

Pollesters said the Obama's gains could be attributed to the financial turmoil, record-low approval ratings for Republican President George W. Bush and a drop in the public's perception of Republican presidential candidate John McCain's running mate Sara Palin.

CBS Poll - Presidential Race Tightens

(CBS) In a sign that the race for president has returned to about where it was before the first presidential debate, the Obama-Biden ticket leads the McCain-Palin ticket 47 percent to 43 percent among registered voters in a new CBS News poll.

The Obama-Biden ticket led by a wider margin, nine percentage points, in a CBS News poll released last Wednesday, before Joe Biden and Sarah Palin faced off in the vice presidential debate. Obama-Biden led by five percentage points on Sept. 25.

In the new poll, the Democratic ticket leads by 3 percentage points, 48 percent to 45 percent, among likely voters.

Funny, wasn't that a Republican tactic the last 2 elections? I believe that it was!!!!

Wow, Republicans have really advanced the application of projection of their own actions and guilt onto others.

"if a lie is big enough and repeated often enough it will be believed." - John McCain, from the Karl Rove play book

This is also something that the Republicans have used extensively, yet they cry foul if it starts to feel like it is being used against them. Republicans in general, SarahPalinRulez being a great example, love to be the bearer of double standards. It's fine as long as they are the only ones committing the act. When someone else returns the favor, it's an aggregious and unpatriotic act.

Personally I'm getting sick of republican's beating everyone over the head with the American Flag and the Crucifix, insinuating that they alone decide who is a patriot and or a Christian.

The remarkably hypocritical, pandering and craven transformation the "Straight Talker" has undergone since 2000 is itself an unsettling reflection of the depths he will sink to try to win. Consider that Tucker Eskew, who helped craft a tremendously devastating smear campaign against McCain in the 2000 South Carolina primary, is NOW a McCain campaign adviser. His task is in part to tutor Palin in her role as the misunderstood and maligned outsider. The Straight Jacket Express has no shame, so honor and no conscience and should be treated as such vigorously until election day in November.
