If, Obama = Socialism, So Does McCain-Palin

(ONNpolitics) -- With all this socialist talk, coming from the GOP ticket, you'd think we had traveled back to the election of 1920, when Eugen V. Debs made his fifth presidential bid as a candidate of the Socialist Party.

In the final two weeks of the 2008 Presidential campaign, as Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama, widened his lead by as much as 10-points, his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain has ramped up charges of socialism. We've heard the stories of "Joe the Plumber" and we've seen Sarah Palin label Obama a socialist, but after a closer examination we see that these accusations are nothing but desperate attacks to get back in the race. Research reveals that both Palin and McCain have endorsed similar policy's to Sen. Obama's tax plan in years past and present.

Journeying back to Sen. Obama's "Joe the Plumber" response, we saw an explanation that detailed a tax cut for income earners making less than a quarter-million dollars per year. The man was worried about the plan possibly raising his tax liability if he were to buy his employer's business (which turned out to be a farce). This became the center piece for the McCain campaign to paint the Obama camp as socialist. But after a little research we find that McCain endorsed the same policy platform back during his 2000 presidential bid. He basically said to a college student what Obama said the "Joe the Plumber", verbatim.

So, this leaves me to wonder, what is McCain actually talking about? Is he really that desperate?

But it doesn't stop there. Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska (Republican Vice presidential nominee), became the right-wing attack dog, living up to her nickname as pit-bull with lipstick, as she ramped up charges that Obama endorses socialism, even dubbing him "Barack the Wealth Spreader". And yet again, after a close examination of her political career, we see that she has favored a policy that increased taxes on high-earners to relieve taxes for lower-earner.

Currently, Alaska residents enjoy a $3,269 check from the state government, padded by a $1200 increase by Gov. Palin this year, that is paid for by high levies on oil companies that operate in Alaska's oil fields. Gov. Palin was quoted in a magazine saying that "Alaskans collectively, share in the wealth [of oil company revenues]." All of this surfacing after she has been on the offensive against Sen. Obama in the last two weeks.

So, what's the big deal with all this socialist talk coming from the McCain camp, when both John McCain and Sarah Palin endorse policies that they attack Obama for? There is only one answer to that question -- desperation!

It comes as no surprise that the McCain camp would have to succumb to petty attacks in the last leg of the presidential race - they simply have no footing on issues that really matter to Americans. The economy is in shambles; the middle-class is eroding; and health care is out of control. These are the issues that Sen. Obama has been able to communicate his leadership on, and it has paid off. So, in the final days of the campaign, let's stick to the issues, knowing that every attack thus far has proven to be unfounded and absurd.

Candidates Trade Comedic Barbs

(ONNpolitics) -- Thursday night, the two presidential candidates, (D) Sen. Barack Obama and (R) Sen. John McCain, traded comedic jabs as they teamed up to speak at the 63rd annual Al Smith Memorial Charity Foundation Dinner in New York. I must admit, it was a breath of fresh air to have a humorous approach from both candidates.
