How this doesn't scare the living crap out of somebody, I will never be able to fathom. I'd sooner vote for 4 more years of Bush. My main problem with Obama, is he just doesn't seem ready. I'm sorry, while he does come off as a mastermind of the English tongue when compared to Bush or Palin, he's not particularly charismatic either. I'm not feeling the Obama fire... maybe a light simmer. Clinton had charisma, Obama only looks good when compared to the qwacks against whom he's running. He is the lesser of two evils though. Well, not evils, idiots; the lesser of two idiots. Elitist? He's not elite *enough.* I'm sorry, but as much as I love my best buddy and enjoy having a beer with him, I wouldn't want him or anyone like him to run the U.S! A president is NOT supposed to be a "regular joe;" a president IS supposed to be the elite, the best of the best, a natural leader, someone with a clearer understanding of the way the world works than most people, somebody who can make a quick decision at a time when everyone else is running around like beheaded chickens. A president IS supposed to think he's better than most, because he IS supposed to be better than most. Palin as president.

Palin may have not strayed far from the talking points, but Biden recited his own list of talking points as well. The problem came when Biden left the reservation and got off his talking points. "US kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon"? Uh, no. Biden and Obama warned that democracy in the Palestinian territories would lead to Hamas rule? Um, no. Biden's vote for the Iraq War resolution wasn't a vote for war? Um.... And on and on and on. Biden loses because he lied or at least flubbed. If Palin had made similar errors, she would've been flayed alive. That's why the SNL Debate skit went back to ol' tried and true Palinisms: she shoots wolves from helicopters. Her teenage daughter is pregnant and being forced to get married. She thinks the end of days is nigh. They didn't have anything new to throw at her, just those old, tired, debunked rumors. And that's because Palin performed well. Not bad for the lady's first major debate. It was mostly a tie, with a small nod to Palin since she came in with such low expectations.

If you're on Facebook you can track the new posts using Dr. Slogan <a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/pages/Dr-Slogans-Prescriptions/37484152742" rel="nofollow">page<a>. My goal is to fill the gap we have on the simple graphic materials that can drive the message home in 5 sec. Obama's camp is really good that. People who see Obama's threat don't highly paid pros creating graphics and as result our message is weaker. The anti-Obama posters you see on internet are nice, but they don't speak to swing voters. I'm creating the repository of graphics that will speak to the people whose votes we need to prevent the country going into very dark times. Comments and suggesstions are very welcome. And needless to say, feel free to use any Dr. Slogan's graphics on your site. Thanks, Nate.

Keep it up! Dr. Slogan,

Sen. Biden lied throughout the debate without blinking. The single claim that his new boss has never said he'd sit down with Ahmadinejad with no preconditions was an astonishing lie, given the broad availability of the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1dSPrb5w_k" rel="nofollow">video</a> that shows Obama making that very promise. Biden was serving <a href="http://drslogan.wordpress.com/2008/09/30/kool-aid-08-dont-drink-and-vote/" rel="nofollow">Kool-Aid '08</a> all night and has proven that he was a good pick for Obama. The only hope is that more people will start asking themselves the real <a href="http://drslogan.wordpress.com/2008/10/02/is-america-ready/" rel="nofollow">Is America Ready?</a> question and get the facts straight before they vote.

Believe me, the only way we are going to fix this country is if the whole country is organized. Senator Obama has already organized small groups in most cities. After the election these small groups will become volunteers to make America better. I am already working in El Paso, TX and will continue with my committment to work with the Obama for President organization. We can't expect other people to do our job for us. Let's get busy and each one can do what he or she is best at doing. Many people think being an organizer is nothing.

Ya! THAT’s me THAT’s me!! You go Palin! Screw everyone else! Give the big companies breaks so that it trickles down to me and I can buy more beer! And I want more guns damn it! MORE GUNS! Yeeee ha!” I don’t think I we the views of “Joe Six Pack” represented in government! The Republicans have always appealed to 2 types: The Rich and the stupid. The rich because they get less regulation of their companies and the stupid because they don’t really understand that the best way to get what you want is not with a gun but rather through careful diplomacy and toleration of differing opinions. Oh and one more thing about “Mavericks” – They can be dangerous! Ask Val Kilmer And, hey, what about Gwen Iffel slanting it for Obama now Republicans????? Let's hear how she helped her book!! WOW did she make Palin look bad or what?? I am not sure if I could even consider voting for someone that refers to some of her constituents as “Joe Six Pack!” I mean who in the audience goes, “Ya!
