You stay classy, Ashley Todd:
A McCain-Palin campaign volunteer who claimed she was robbed and cut by a supporter of Sen. Barack Obama has confessed to making up the story, Pittsburgh police Assistant Chief Maurita Bryant said this afternoon.
Ashley Todd, 20, of College Station, Texas, is charged with filing a false police report. . . .
"She just opened up and said she wanted to tell the truth," Bryant said. "She was upset with the media for blowing this into a political firestorm."
She fakes a political crime in the middle of a campaign, now the little liar blames the media for reporting it.

not to mention she sent the picture TO DRUDGE HERSELF- BEFORE SEEKING MEDICAL TREATMENT. Whatever, her life is ruined. Move over Linda Tripp.

This woman is a democrat party plant. She is sacrificing herself to make McCain supporters look bad. The democrat party has no limit to what depths it will sink to destroy this country.

I'm guessing you're taking the piss Petch - nobody can be THAT stupid...Right?
bone| 10.24.08 @ 7:28PM
Petch, I only hope you are joking. The real lesson here is how quick the McCain campaign and its adherents have embraced this non-story before finding out the facts... like with the fake "Joe the plumber" (unlicensed as a plumber with no real means to buy the company he discussed and makes a salary that would benefit from the Obama tax plan... and a true-blue McCain supporter. No plant there.) and McCain's grossly un-vetted pick of Palin. GET THE FACTS BEFORE YOU ACT. That's an important hallmark of good leadership. Experience isn't the best measure of good leadership in this election. JUDGMENT IS. Obama has seen the traps & avoided them while McCain hasn't. 'nuff said.

Typical McCain supporter, delusional like Joe the Plummer, Flo the crazy woman at the debate, you get the picture

Yeah, like you liberals don't have your share of freaks. Give me a break.

RE:

-------------------------------
Montreal, CANADA, October 4, 2008
TO THE NEXT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NEW PRESIDENT:
SIR:
"MAY I CALL YOU "O" ?"
Because of MAIN STREET !
Because of WALL STREET !
Because of the final electoral sprint - ending soon next coming november 2008 - while THE WHOLE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA has its eyes on YOU.
Everyone expects You to be democratically elected and see that something happen in America.
In March 1983, one of humanity's most famous spokesmen, Pope John Paul II, came to our country - 'Haîti' - and loudly proclaimed what each and every one of us had been whispering:
"Something must change here !"
Today, more than ever, a lot of people of The United States of America stand up, longing for something and working to make something happen.
"Go thou America ahead and show us thy true countenance in a positive light.' It is up to everyone to play his or her part in order to let thee regain thy mark of excellence !"
With this letter, I am communicating with You, SIR, and with the whole people of The United States of America.
You offer this country what it takes to be a 'Wonderfull Land.' Yes, let us say 'with a great people living and working together.'
Go thou, America, go ahead, following in the footsteps of one of thy sons who is now becoming one of thy statesmen.
With this in mind, to whom else could I entrust this letter sent to his Holiness Pope John Paul II when he set foot on Haitian soil for the first time, as well as its acknowledgment by the Vatican?
That letter to Pope John Paul II is intended to draw attention to the problem posed by anti-Black discrimination and its negative repercussions on the advancement of scientific progress in the West, and more precisely in the realm of Optics.
In the Western world, according to Newton's widely accepted theory, white is considered to be the synthesis of all colors. Actually, the opposite is true. White constitutes the analysis or 'visible' decoding of light or color, whereas black is its synthesis or 'invisible' composition.
In other words, darkness or blackness and, we might add, "Black Holes'" - a scientific misnomer designating invisible stars or 'Black Suns' - are a source of energy and light. Scientifically, Industrially and Economically speaking, what an asset !
That basic raw material of light energy culminates, in its most radiant form, in the neutralization of all the colors of the spectrum in the form of usually called "white light."
Therefore "absolute blackness", the absorption of all the colors, is a divisible component of light. Needless to say, Newton's theory gives only a partial interpretation of the notion of light, by excluding black. Our contribution aims at demonstrating that the black color is not only an integral part of the color process, but its true synthesis. Light is therefore shown to be a divisible whole comprising an intensity or color scale in which black is the invisible or 'absorbed' form of the energy in question.
Allow me, SIR, in order to support my statement concerning Black Holes and radiation, to pose a question asked by Hubert Reeves, Doctor of nuclear astrophysics and Scientific Consultant to NASA:
"What would have become of the Sun, if it were plunged into a high temperature radiance like the one that existed at the beginning of the Universe? [our translation]"
"Instead of emitting light, it would absorb it and, in the end, it would be completely reabsorbed into the cosmic fluid."
The cosmic fluid is what, due to an "optical mistake", is called "darkness" or the "blackness of Space". We are talking about the electromagnetic flux, that immeasurable ocean in which the planets and stars are bathed, like the sea which links all the continents together. Darkness is thus "The Sea of Space."
"What would have happened if, instead of an ordinary star like the "White Sun", a Black Hole or "Black Sun" were injected into that primordial radiation?"
"According to Einsteinian Physics, a Black Hole is a place where gravity is so formidably intense that nothing can escape it, not even visible light. Such a hole should suck in and absorb radiation and increase its own mass: E=MC2, always."
"But after Einstein came Bohr, Heisenberg, and Quantum Physic. From then on, nothing was the same as before."
"The Einsteinian version of the Black Hole is equivalent to a statement that the matter inside the Black Hole is definitely there to stay, in that volume of space. Let us quote Hubert Reeves: "Such an absolute statement is thus contrary to the "Quantum spirit", affirming that nothing is definitely localized in one place. There is always a probability of escape. If the enclosing wall is too high, a tunnel will be dug; if the prisoners are patient, they will escape. One has only to wait." [our translation]
"According to that principle, Black Holes "evaporate". Matter constantly escapes as radiation. Black Holes "shine!" Their surfaces behave like those of any body heated to a certain temperature and that radiation endlessly feeds that marvelous "Cosmic Fluid" which, wrongly and in bad faith, people keep calling "Darkness."
Nigra sum "sed" formosa!
Yes, but should we not say instead, I am black "and" comely?
Darkness, which is both source and vehicle of light, does not have to defend itself for being the beautiful and infinitely discreet raw material of the Universe. Darkness is the "Mother of the Universe."
Also, beautiful and discreet art thou, Haiti. Discreet, yes, but never outshone! Just like the Black Virgin who inspires and sheds her love on thee from the hilltop and even beyond Cité Soleil (Sun City).
Our purpose was to offer a more constructive approach aiming at correcting the abusive traditional, so-called scientific, theories of Optics.
It’s like to say that in the exceptional circumstances in which we live today - in the point of view of FINANCE and ENERGY - no exploration in the mid or long term, by the american expertise , of an additional source of energy, at the same time safe and economically profitable, should not be ruled out.
That is why, we wrote to that authentic witness to the signs of this age, His Holiness Pope John Paul II, the prophet of the new era.
Congratulations to You, Sir, and congratulations to the PEOPLE of The United States Of America - for having made it possible for this day of November to come - to mark the beginning of a "New Era of Hope !"

See what I mean? (ref. crazy post above)

Hey bone, did you conveniently forget that Joe was out IN HIS OWN YARD and Obama was the one who came up to him? The last time I looked Americans had the right to ask questions of their candidates.
Moliticon| 10.25.08 @ 8:35AM
My, my. What a lot of interesting people. Why does sociopathic young Ashley need to be honored so?
Michael Roush| 10.25.08 @ 10:38AM
Jim, Petch is that stupid. She is a card carrying member of the base; part of the crowd that still thinks W. is a great President.
Lucien, Have you been drinking?
Jim Woodward| 10.25.08 @ 11:02AM
Although I rarely agree with Mike Roush I whole heartedly agree with a post of his a couple of days ago. Posters should have the cojones to use theirs names and Amspec should make it a rule. If you have something to say, man up.

Petch says:"This woman is a democrat party plant. She is sacrificing herself to make McCain supporters look bad. The democrat party has no limit to what depths it will sink to destroy this country."
So you're saying that this woman was cunning enough to hide her true identity & intentions from the very intelligent & savvy republicans for months, and then go and carve a "B" into her face BACKWARDS? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Thomas| 10.25.08 @ 7:43PM
This is getting a little bit too weird. This woman very likely has some problems that need to be addressed. I think that it is time to let this incident lay. The courts will address the young woman's concerns.
But one thing should be pointed out. It seems that McCain supporters only harm themselves. The same can not be said for Obama supporters.
Jon Lorenz| 10.25.08 @ 8:25PM
If Ms. Todd was a Dem plant, she must have been a deeply hidden mole as she she had been previously removed from the Ron Paul campaign in Texas. (She was not just a campaign volunteer. She is a Young College Republican!!!) Where she made claims that her tires were slashed and campaign materials were stolen. Taking a leave of absence from college to join the Young College Republicans and posted in the Pittsburgh, PA area with the McCain campaign. If she had only carved an O while looking in the mirror we could have had a huge "Birth of A Nation" scenario.
What will Petch say if she rolls over and admits she was part of a conspiracy? And fingers McCain/GOP staffers in PA?
bone| 10.26.08 @ 7:02PM
So, Audrey, being in his own yard gives Joe license to step onto the national political stage, misrepresent himself, & attempt through falsehood to dishonestly sway a presidential election? Real Christian values there, girl.
Being in his yard makes no difference because it was the McCain camp who chose to exploit him.
