Planned Parenthood (PP) released its annual report this week. It would appear that for Planned Parenthood, crime does pay -- as long as it is crime against humanity.
Last year, while the rest of the nation was seeing a downward trend in relation to abortions, Planned Parenthood was perpetrating over 15,000 more abortions than the year before, for a grand total of 305,310 (while apparently offering no post-abortion counseling to the women who enter into PP's "clinics.")
Added to this mayhem, Planned Parenthood distributed over 1.4 million "emergency contraceptive kits" containing the abortifacient called the "morning after pill."
During this time the organization only did 4,912 adoption referrals.
All this proved very profitable to Planed Parenthood as they posted a net profit of $1.014 BILLION. A clear 34 percent of that figure came from you - the U.S. taxpayer. Government grants to Planned Parenthood allowed the abortion industry to spend on a variety of things including contributing $10 million to elect President Obama and spending close to $1 million to lobby Congress for even more cash, claiming poverty in this time of economic crisis!
This investment by Planned Parenthood has paid handsomely as increases in government funding have led to an increase in the number of abortions the group performs. Only when the abortion industry is completely separated from the government funding spigot will President Obama have any credibility when he says he wants to "reduce the number of abortions." Local governments like Orange County, California and Corpus Christi, Texas have realized this and defunded their local PP's - when will Congress?

Filibuster Nomination of Judge David Hamilton
Fromt the "Pray in Jesus Name Project":
URGENT NEW PETITION!
Please click, sign, and WE WILL FAX your petition automatically to ALL 100 U.S. SENATORS right away (saving you hours of labor)!
Dear Citizen Activists, To the delight of many liberal groups, NO REPUBLICAN SENATORS have yet promised to filibuster this bad nomination of the most dangerous liberal extremist, anti-Life, anti-Liberty, anti-Jesus Judge David Hamilton to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. We must demand a filibuster to oppose him. President Barack Obama has just nominated federal Judge David Hamilton, who has issued controversial rulings (banning public prayers offered "in Jesus name," and hastening the abortion of unborn children), to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals (the same court that has reversed his aggressive decisions for many years).
PLEASE SELECT HERE TO SIGN AND FAX YOUR PERSONALIZED PETITION TO ALL 100 U.S. SENATORS, OPPOSING THE ANTI-LIFE, ANTI-CHRISTIAN JUDGE DAVID HAMILTON.
Judge Hamilton is the worst of Obama's 15 new liberal appeals court appointees. The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals covers Wisconsin, Indiana and Illinois. Since most cases never reach the Supreme Court, the federal appellate circuits often provide the last word on cases affecting life and liberty.
READ THE FACTS: The Judicial Confirmation Network quickly opposed Hamilton's nomination, stating that "President Obama's first nominee to the federal appeals courts -- specifically the appeals court based in Chicago -- is an ultra-liberal named David Hamilton who is a former fundraiser for ACORN and former leader of the Indiana chapter of the ACLU. He was nominated to the district court bench by President Clinton even though he had no judicial experience and was rated as 'not qualified' by the American Bar Association ." Hamilton ruled in 2005 to ban the practice of opening the chamber's business with prayers mentioning Jesus Christ or using terms such as "Savior." He said that amounted to state endorsement of a religion. (But he ruled prayers to "Allah" were perfectly lawful.)
ANTI-JESUS, BUT PRO-ALLAH? Judge Hamilton wrote: "The injunction orders the Speaker...that the prayers should not use Christ's name or title or any other denominational appeal...If those offering prayers in the Indiana House of Representatives choose to use the Arabic 'Allah'...the court sees little risk that the choice of language would advance a particular religion or disparage others. " In other words, Judge Hamilton ruled the words "Jesus" or "Christ" are illegal words, prohibited for public speech, banned by the First Amendment, which somehow prohibits freedom of religious expression, and makes Christian prayers ILLEGAL in a public forum. (What crazy version of the First Amendment is he reading?)
Thank God, I took action in 2007 and provided legal arguments to the Indiana Attorney General who appealed to the 7th Circuit Court and WE WON a 2-1 decision overruling Hamilton, restoring the right to pray "in Jesus name" in Indiana.
PLEASE SELECT HERE TO SIGN AND FAX YOUR PERSONALIZED PETITION TO ALL 100 U.S. SENATORS, OPPOSING THE ANTI-LIFE, ANTI-CHRISTIAN JUDGE DAVID HAMILTON.
ANTI-LIFE BUT PRO-ABORTION?
In 2003, Judge Hamilton struck down part of an Indiana law on abortion. The reasonable law had required abortion clinics to simply give women information about alternatives to abortion in the presence of a physician or nurse, 18 hours before the procedure, until Hamilton ruled to hasten abortions . But thank God, the 7th Circuit Court also reversed Hamilton's bad decision in that case.
If confirmed now Hamilton will sit on that 7th Circuit Court (the same court that frequently overruled him) with terrible power to rule the heartland with his anti-life, anti-liberty, anti-Christian agenda.
WE CAN WIN THIS BATTLE!
We've already sent thousands of faxes to the full Senate, and we're getting results! On April 1st, Senator Orrin Hatch led all Republicans to walk out of the Senate Judiciary Committee, in protest against the Democrat "rush job" to confirm Judge Hamilton. Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, said he was troubled by Hamilton's ruling against a sectarian prayer to open the Indiana House of Representatives. Even Senator Arlen Specter expressed concern. But will they vote unanimously against Hamilton?
Unfortuantely retiring RINO Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN) endorsed Hamilton, endangering his own state of Indiana and ruining his own legacy. Lugar's five phone numbers are: Indianapolis (317) 226-5555, Evansville (812) 465-6313, Fort Wayne (260) 422-1505, Valparaiso (219) 548-8035, DC Office (202) 224-4814. Everybody please call all five numbers today, and especially ask your Indiana friends to call Sen. Lugar .
Then please forward this email to your Indiana-Illinois-Wisconsin friends, and to all pastors in all 50 states, and click here to download a church flyer that pastors can copy and distribute.
But first, take action right now! I pray you will not hesitate, but sign the petition and WE WILL FAX your petition right away, automatically to all 100 U.S. Senators...

Office of the President Elect
Alright, I'm sure I'm late in commenting on this, but has anyone seen any President elect with a sign for the podium that says "Office of the President Elect"? Isn't that just a bit pompous and pretentious? Or have I never noticed it before?
And what's with this bit about wanting to move into the White House guest house, Blair House, on January 2nd instead of the normal January 15th date?
Not to mention all these press conferences. The media shows Barack's comments BEFORE they show the current President speaking.
The media has anointed The One and even the Blago crud isn't going to tarnish the halo they've put on his head.
I wonder how anyone manages to keep a normal sized ego with everyone sucking up to them. Look at what happens to normal people when they get to Hollywood or become a sports star. So many of them start to believe the hype.
It's going to be an interesting four years.

Obama, Memphis, Defacing Public Property
From Linda Shaw (thanks):
===========
BARACK OBAMA TO APPEAR IN MEMPHIS COURT ON CHARGES OF DEFACING PUBLIC PROPERTY
President-Elect Barack Obama Faces Charges in Memphis
Reported by: Kevin Holmes
Email: kholmes@myeyewitnessnews.com
Contributor: Shane Myers
Last Update: 1:12 pm
MEMPHIS, TN – President-Elect Barack Obama is scheduled to appear in a Memphis court on charges of defacing public property.
According to court documents, a public works employee filed the charge after he says he found 512 campaigns signs illegally placed on right-of-way land in the city. The document says the signs were found on Germantown Road, Walnut Grove Road, Sam Cooper and Mendenhall Road.
City of Memphis spokesperson Toni Holman-Turner says the employee was just doing his job. She says citations have been issued to numerous politicians in the past, including Mayoral, Sheriff and Attorney General Candidates. Memphis City Council passed an ordinance three years ago that made it illegal to place any signs near the right of way.
The ordinance was originally put in place for homeowners, to prevent them from placing signs (like for sale, for rent and yard sale signs, etc.) near the right of way. The City says campaign signs aren't exempt.
According to Holman-Turner, three letters were hand delivered to Obama’s local campaign office and there was no response. She says taking Obama to court was the next step.
Attorney Jay Bailey will be representing the President-Elect. While the City of Memphis says its employee was just doing his job, Bailey feels the city worker just had an axe to grind. "This guy just had a problem with Barack Obama and decided to use his badge."
Bailey says he plans to file a motion to dismiss this on the grounds of selective prosecution.
President-Elect Obama missed his initial court appearance, and the case has been reset to December 8, 2008, in Environmental Court. Obama and his campaign could be fined up to $50 per sign. 512 signs equals $26,500, plus court costs.

Frustrating times... Exciting times...
I've been listening over these past few weeks to liberals, conservatives, independents, talk hosts, commentators, and seemingly everyone who can find an audience dissect the election. Everyone has their theory or locked-in-stone belief as to why Barack Obama won.
John McCain was too liberal. John McCain was too conservative.
The economy. The economy didn't matter, McCain would have lost anyway.
The media.
George Bush left a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
No way a Republican could have won, no matter who he was.
John McCain had a better chance than anyone.
If the Republicans had chosen a staunch conservative they might have won.
Sarah Palin was the kiss of death.
McCain wouldn't have gotten anywhere near as close as he did if it weren't for Sarah Palin.
I could go on and on.
God was behind Barack Obama.
God was fed up with us for not following him and he's punishing us with Barack Obama so we'll get back on the right path.
I understand the kids didn't come out in droves. I've read that moderates pulled for Obama rather than McCain. I've heard the Republicans didn't come out to vote.
None of it really, really matters unless we're going to use the knowledge that we lost to build toward a better future.
I'm excited about all the things I see going on right now and frustrated by others.
The excitement comes from all the groups that are forming to work toward the better future I mentioned. People are tossing aside titles and finding common ground. We have Democrats who are disgusted with their party joining hands with Independents and Republicans. We have Republicans who've just claimed the name without any involvement getting involved. There is a burst of energy that I hope sustains us through a victory. There is an enthusiasm that I hope carries us through the next tough years we'll be enduring.
That's my frustration. I hear what Obama is promising and I am frustrated. Things that are looming include the Fairness Doctrine (shutting down free speech), the Freedom of Choice Act which will eliminate the choice of life for many, the court appointees that could drastically affect every decision of law for decades and so many other actions that tear away at the foundation of our country and the Constitution.
While we have so many who are organizing and banding together at this time, we're going to need those sleepy heads who've skated by, just living day-to-day, to wake up. We are going to need to find a way to educate people, to arm them with real knowledge. Yes, the Internet is on fire with a conservative fervor like I've never seen before. But if America is sitting in front of the boob-tube watching Ugly Betty and their favorite soap, all of our efforts on the Internet are not going to be quite enough.
We have to figure out a way to get on main stream media. We have to make inroads into the news media. How? One way is to raise our children to be reporters, to start newspapers, magazines, to be conservative actors and similar. The problem is trying to break into those liberal bastions! You almost have to be an undercover conservative until you reach a certain point. You have to live in the closet.
I don't know if that's a reasonable suggestion. Being the rich conservatives that we are (cough, cough), maybe we just need to raise the dough and buy up all the media outlets. Hmmm... maybe we need to start a fund to buy up newspapers and television stations! Ha. I think I've hit on something. Let's start a fund and get everyone contributing with the idea that we one by one buy up media outlets across the country.
Whatcha think? Worth a shot? I'm going to propose it to the Read My Lipstick Network and see if we can't collaborate with other groups to start that movement. Gee, keep typing long enough and maybe a worthwhile thought occurs. We'll see.

Catholic? Found a couple of great links / pages / groups for you
I saw the video below on our Read My Lipstick Network group page on http://www.teamsarah.org/. After I watched it I went to the website (http://www.catholicvote.com/) and I signed up for updates. I was invited to participate in a conference call this evening (along with over a million others who're participating) but didn't read my emails soon enough. I took a look and they're going to do another one on Wednesday night at 9 p.m. ET so I've signed up to listen in (phone or webcast). Here's a link for the sign up: http://www.priestsforlife.org/conferencecall/index.aspx
Here's the video that was on the Team Sarah page:
The group doesn't say who they're supporting for President, but they're pro-life so you have to believe they can't vote for Obama since he's so openly anti-life. I refuse to say pro-choice. It's not a choice for the baby in question, it's a choice for the selfish owner of the body who did what was necessary to bring a life into this world without taking proper precautions. I'm not talking about rape, incest, etc. when I talk about stupid women who do whatever the heck they want then kill babies as a means of birth control. It's too darned easy these days to take a pill and use a condom (although lord knows that's not fool-proof).

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses...
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses... your homeless, your criminals... and we'll turn them into great Barack Obama voters!
ACORN is not alone, they have outreach projects like Project Vote. They're not alone in their subversion of our voting process, other Democratic and similarly biased groups are hitting the jails, the homeless shelters and under the bridges to find voters. If they can't find enough people to take over a precinct or district, they make them up.
I think the Republicans, the Green Party, the Libertarian Party and other non-Democratic groups need to band together to call for a massive review of all registered names. I'll contribute to the cause. We need to hire independent groups to take the lists and simply match them up against addresses. It shouldn't be that big a deal to run a comparison program in this age of computers.
Heck, take part of the money the government gave to ACORN and use it to clean up the voter rolls.
There needs to be a massive outcry of indignation from the public! We need to write to all of our elected officials, to our local County Commissions, City Councils, voter registration boards, election officials and the media saying we want it cleaned up and a complete review.

Movie --- HYPE the Obama Effect
A movement is sweeping the nation. Frenzied crowds gather in every state. Young people chant and sing. Women swoon. The result is record voter turn out and a rare political enthusiasm. At the head of this unprecedented phenomenon stands a charismatic figure intent on becoming the President of the United States.
"I'm asking you to believe.""We are the ones we have been waiting for.""Yes, we can!""Change.""Hope."
These words, from Barack Obama, have inspired everything from outrageous videos to the largest campaign fundraising success in history. He has taken what was considered a sure bet Clinton machine and turned it on its head. His supporters claim he is the new Martin Luther King, Jr. He is hailed as this generation's John F. Kennedy. This documentary explores the HYPE behind Barack Obama.

A shout out to Ohio Republicans!
Wow, this is turning out to be a nasty situation in Ohio. Now I'm hearing that the state isn't going to allow independent observers at the polls or something to that affect (effect? always get mixed up on those two ;-).
I'm going to assume you've all heard about the controversy with the absentee ballots, how they're allowing people to register and vote at the same time. Talk about an opportunity for cheating! There should be a waiting period so they can check out the identification and validity of residency and other issues.
I have a feeling Ohio is going to be Florida revisited.
I've heard they're taking the homeless and dragging them down to register and vote.
I'm going to take a look to see what's going on with the state excluding poll watchers. I don't even think they can legally do that.
Barack Obama's ties with ACORN scares the heck out of me. You know they're out working hard to steal votes.
I've included just a FEW of the zillions of hits on voter fraud and ACORN. This is one nasty group and Barack Obama is attached at the hip with this group. They're out to steal our country. People better not be asleep at the wheel 'cause the masses are voting as I type.
Help get out the legitimate vote! Make sure everyone you know votes, help friends vote absentee, do whatever you can to get honest voters to the polls!!!

Inside Obama’s AcornBy their fruits ye shall know them.
By Stanley Kurtz
What if Barack Obama’s most important radical connection has been hiding in plain sight all along? Obama has had an intimate and long-term association with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (Acorn), the largest radical group in America. If I told you Obama had close ties with MoveOn.org or Code Pink, you’d know what I was talking about. Acorn is at least as radical as these better-known groups, arguably more so. Yet because Acorn works locally, in carefully selected urban areas, its national profile is lower. Acorn likes it that way. And so, I’d wager, does Barack Obama.

More ACORN Vote Fraud Attempts
Posted on September 15, 2008
-By Warner Todd Huston
The union supporting, Democratic Party pushing, extreme leftist Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has been caught trying to jerry-rig voter applications in Michigan. It is looking like fraud on a massive scale in Detroit as ACORN tries to fill the Democrat voter rolls with fake Democrat voters.

Barack Obama’s taxpayer-subsidized old friends at ACORN have been very, very busy lately. And ACORN Watch is here to give you the rundown on all the latest shenanigans on your dime.

Alaska's Political Circus / Web ad
Today, at a Palin Truth Squad Press Conference in Alaska, the McCain-Palin campaign announced the release of its latest web ad, entitled "Alaska's Political Circus." The ad chronicles the antics of Obama partisans that have transformed a previously nonpolitical inquiry into a political circus designed to undermine Governor Palin.
The web ad can be viewed at the Palin Truth Squad's new website: www.PalinTruthFiles.com. PalinTruthFiles.com is a resource for voters to arm themselves with the true facts of this tainted inquiry.
Script For "Alaska's Political Circus" (Web 1:20)
ANNCR: In Alaska. The circus has come to town.
When Gov. Sarah Palin dismissed Walter Monegan over insubordination regarding his budget, blogger conspiracy theories started to fly and an investigation ensued.
Meet Sen. Hollis French. An Obama supporter.
He moved the investigation deadline to the middle of the presidential campaign, saying it could lead to an October surprise.
Meet Sen. Kim Elton. An Obama donor who continues to ignore the calls of his own committee members to reconsider whether the investigation is legitimate.
And then there's Steve Branchflower. Appointed as a QUOTE independent investigator by Elton. Branchflower and French were recently exposed for colluding on the issuing of subpoenas.
So why are they even investigating Gov. Palin? Conspiracy theorists say it's because Monegan was dismissed because he wouldn't fire Trooper Michael Wooten.
Even after Wooten was cited for tasering his 10-year-old stepson.
Secrecy, collusion, and October surprises. It's nothing more than a three-ring circus emceed by Obama partisans.

Sarah Palin, Joe Biden, Hate and the Media
Joe Biden has been on the Washington political scene for what, 35 years or so? Sarah Palin has been on the Washington political scene for a bit over a month?
Joe Biden makes a gaff and it's cute, funny, and, you know, "just Joe".
Sarah Palin makes a gaff and she's not ready for prime time.
Joe Biden has an interview with Katie Couric and she's touching his knee, cutting up with him, obviously comfortable with him (and he still makes a gaffe ;-)
Sarah Palin has an interview with Katie Couric and the setting is stilted, Katie manages to control her facial expressions but not the gotcha mentality and she gets her moment.
I was listening to Fox & Friends for a minute or two this morning and they were talking about the women who absolutely hate Sarah Palin. One of them commented that it seemed to be big city not mid-America who had a problem with her.
I've heard that before and have kind of picked up on it myself.
Here's my theory on that one:
Sarah Palin is fulfilled and happy. She has a career and is accomplishing something meaningful with her life. She has five beautiful children and a real-dude husband who's cute and supportive (which is like extra icing on the side, eat it with a spoon!).
These New York types and Hollywood-the-world-revolves-around-me types see how shallow their lives really are. She shows how meaningless much of what they do actually is, how little they bring to the table. She makes them feel inadequate.
For the rest of us, those who don't have the need for public adoration and don't need to have our egos propped up by others, Sarah is a true, true breath of fresh air, someone we can admire. We're pleased she has accomplished all she has and don't feel the need to tear her down to make ourselves feel better about who we are.
We can have our inadequacies but we're able to accept ourselves and we're strong in ways that the women who have to tear others down to feel good will never be.
Strong women, truly strong women, love Sarah Palin. Those who need outside props to fill their inner space can't handle anyone of competence.
Think about it! Just by being who she is Sarah Palin makes them feel small. The cling to their groups (not their guns and religion ;-) to give themselves an identity.
I can understand not liking some of the things Sarah Palin believes in and not wanting to vote for her. But hate? But this obsession some have with her? I heard Tina Fey talking the other night about playing Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live. She was having real problems with it, said she hoped she never had to play her again after November 4th. It wasn't so much what she said as how she said it that showed her absolute need to be accepted by her peers.
Ah well, I could go on in this vein until long after all the cows in the world were home in their barns and still not touch on all the underlying personal instability that makes a person have to hate someone they don't know. Irritation that the Party they hate and vilify might be the first to accomplish what should be there's by right (first woman President) plays into things for some. The Democrats blew it when they didn't choose Hillary Clinton and they can't stand it that the Republicans might beat them to yet another first. They are fanning the winds of resentment and hate just as much as they can.
It's up to us to fight the good and decent fight for Sarah Palin, John McCain and true Republican values (not the ones some of our so-called leaders have ignored for these past years).
Don't let the media get you down and don't make the mistake of letting your moods swing with the various leanings of the media or the polls. Stay strong, keep your spirits up no matter what the media tries to cram down your throat and let's win in November!!!

Deal or No Deal, Dems Continue the Lie
There's a comment on another one of my posts, which I'm not going to bother to approve*, saying they had a bailout deal before John McCain showed up and the deal fell through because the Republicans were just supporting their candidate, it was just politics, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Give it up.
Even conservative Democrats are saying there wasn't a deal. The rest of the Dem crew are just twisting and avoiding and will never say they were wrong.
The Democrats had the votes to go ahead if they wanted, John McCain or no John McCain. They didn't have the guts to cram their so-called deal down the throats of the American public without the support of Republicans. No guts. They didn't want to be the ones to be blamed if their version fell thought. House Republicans had NOT signed onto it, and many conservative Democrats were relieved when John McCain came in to save the day.
At least John McCain cared enough to be there. He took a huge risk when he put his campaign aside and I appreciate the fact that he was willing to attempt to help, regardless of how much of an impact it may or may not have had. I love how he's handling this, especially his comments this morning about whether to take credit or not! He simply did what he felt was right and Obamababy felt like a phone call or two was sufficient. Some leadership.
It's a proven fact that there was no deal. Nada. The Democrats made a huge mistake in their rush to come out and say there was a deal and they blew it. The only people who are believing their twisting of reality are Obama zombies who'd believe anything that came out of the mouth of their chosen one or his chosen representatives.
* yes, I'm censoring 'cause it's just more twisting of facts and not worth anyone's time.

"Patently False" - the truth about McCain's roll in the bailout dealings
"This sort of clumsy attempt by Harry Reid and the Democrats to say that a deal had been reached at one o'clock yesterday afternoon and suddenly, to put it in Harry Reid's words, 'and then guess who came to town and it completely fell apart?' I mean that is a patently false explanation of what happened." -- The Examiner's Bill Sammon
"There wasn't a deal. You have to first have to accept a predicate that there was an arrangement agreed to by all of the necessary lawmakers and authorities -- that was essentially a piece of paper and a proposal that had been discussed and agreed to by one senate committee that's not the same as a deal."-- Fox News' Carl Cameron
Fox News
September 26, 2008
Fox News' Jon Scott: "Carl, give us your assessment of the statement that Harry Reid made a little bit earlier during that news conference. He didn't use John McCain's name, but he said that things were proceeding along swimmingly, essentially. And they were, you know, getting close. And then he said a certain person came to Washington and the wheels fell off. Is that an accurate description of what happened?"
Fox News' Carl Cameron: "No. There wasn't a deal. You have to first accept a predicate that there was an arrangement agreed to by all the necessary lawmakers and authorities -- that was essentially a piece of paper and a proposal that had been discussed and agreed to by one senate committee -- that's not the same as a deal. A deal in budget parlance and bailout parlance requires the White House, the regulators, the House and Senate Republicans and Democrats.
And because House Republicans were not given an adequate seat at the table, Republicans had great misgivings about this -- the American people have great misgivings about this -- I mean 60% and more in many polls say that the public just doesn't like this. They think its way to big a bailout with not enough insurance that the Devil is not in those details. So McCain's role in this was to bring about progress for a deal, which as of this hour has not yet existed. They are getting clo ser, they say, but yesterday because there was a commerce committee deal does not constitute finality, that was McCain's point and he has been making it since Monday. And Harry Reid saying that we shouldn't inject Presidential politics into this and then immediately turn to John McCain raises some questions. Everybody is playing politics, with less than 40 days before the election, of course this was going to be looked at through partisan prisms, but how about looking at it through taxpayer prisms, taxpayer glasses. All of this discussion about we're worried about Wall Street, but more about main street -- taxpayers are included in both of those places, and Republicans in the House say they were not brought to the table adequately, and these aren't John McCain's idea's per se, he just brought all the people together so that these ideas could be articulated and if Democrats buy into them, that will be part of the deal as yet uncut." ...
The Examiner's Bill Sammon: "First of all I just wanted to say, I want to echo what Carl said, this sort of clumsy attempt by Harry Reid and the Democrats to say that a deal had been reached at one o'clock yesterday afternoon and suddenly, to put it in Harry Reid's words, 'and then guess who came to town and it completely fell apart?' I mean that is a patently false explanation of what happened. And it would seem to be an attempt to preemptively set up John McCain for blame when he did arrive in town because there wasn't a deal."

John McCain's Remarks on the Economic Crisis
New York, NY
Wednesday, September 24, 2008
America this week faces an historic crisis in our financial system. We must pass legislation to address this crisis. If we do not, credit will dry up, with devastating consequences for our economy. People will no longer be able to buy homes and their life savings will be at stake. Businesses will not have enough money to pay their employees. If we do not act, ever corner of our country will be impacted. We cannot allow this to happen.
Last Friday, I laid out my proposal and I have since discussed my priorities and concerns with the bill the Administration has put forward. Senator Obama has expressed his priorities and concerns. This morning, I met with a group of economic advisers to talk about the proposal on the table and the steps that we should take going forward. I have also spoken with members of Congress to hear their perspective.
It has become clear that no consensus has developed to support the Administration's proposal. I do not believe that the plan on the table will pass as it currently stands, and we are running out of time.
Tomorrow morning, I will suspend my campaign and return to Washington after speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative. I have spoken to Senator Obama and informed him of my decision and have asked him to join me.
I am calling on the President to convene a meeting with the leadership from both houses of Congress, including Senator Obama and myself. It is time for both parties to come together to solve this problem.
We must meet as Americans, not as Democrats or Republicans, and we must meet until this crisis is resolved. I am directing my campaign to work with the Obama campaign and the commission on presidential debates to delay Friday night's debate until we have taken action to address this crisis.
I am confident that before the markets open on Monday we can achieve consensus on legislation that will stabilize our financial markets, protect taxpayers and homeowners, and earn the confidence of the American people. All we must do to achieve this is temporarily set politics aside, and I am committed to doing so.
Following September 11th, our national leaders came together at a time of crisis. We must show that kind of patriotism now. Americans across our country lament the fact that partisan divisions in Washington have prevented us from addressing our national challenges. Now is our chance to come together to prove that Washington is once again capable of leading this country.

Barack Obama Attacks Running Mate For Having Bailout Position
I watched a few minutes of the interview discussed below because someone had left the TV on NCB when I flipped it on this morning, couldn't hack it... but I tried so I'd think that was worth a few brownie points for stamina? right? If it had been on any station other than NBC I might have been able to hang in there a bit longer, but I'm joining the boycott against the station so it isn't going on in this household. (See Barracuda Babe's blog for more on the NBC thing. http://barracudababes.blogspot.com --- I love this Read My Lipstick Network of blogs!)

NBC's Matt Lauer: "Three minutes later in an interview with Meredith Vieira, Joe Biden, your running mate was asked the exact same question, 'should the federal government bailout AIG?' And he said, 'No, the federal government should not bailout AIG.'"
Barack Obama: "I think that in that situation, I think Joe should have waited as well."
