McCain echoed that sentiment. He said Obama is getting overconfident and is "measuring the drapes" in the White House.

"The national media has written us off," McCain said, prompting loud boos and chants of "Liberal media!" from the crowd.

McCain's message on taxes resonated strongly with many in the crowd.

Stafford resident Emily Harvill said she was supporting McCain because "I'm not ready to give my hard-earned money to people to sit around and do nothing. I'm not ready for socialism."

A half mile down the road from the McCain rally, a group of Democrats gathered later in the day to denounce the McCain campaign for its automated calls that included statements about Obama's ties to former Weatherman Bill Ayers.

Former Lt. Gov. Don Beyer said the calls were "misleading and deceitful."

Beyer also criticized McCain spokeswoman Nancy Pfotenhauer for remarks she made in a television interview earlier in the day suggesting that Northern Virginia, which has tended to vote more Democratic than the rest of the state in recent elections, isn't "real Virginia."

"Not real Virginia?" Beyer said. "Let me remind you that George Washington was from Northern Virginia."

I believe the term is "bastee" Couldn't resist. Love the idea of a sitcom. If I had a product to sell I think I would buy some ad time. Hey Grace, why pick on crazy people? Don't pick on Bubbadeanie just because he dropped a pill and missed a day. He has old eyes like me, Right Buddy? Smart ass, by best quality!

Enough silliness from me. What does that make Obama's mother then. Give me the guttural term. Where I grew up, people with hate in them would have called her a slut, a whore, a tramp, trollop. Something along those lines. Since he, who had nothing to do with his birth is a 'BASTARD' what would that make his mom? Give me your response on that Saved. I would image her label would be more harsh than that of a BASTARD CHILD. What would that name be Saved. Ball in your court preacher boy.

bubbadeanie...I think I have an answer for you (posted by savedbygracealone , Oct. 23, 2008 2:10 pm)   
Obama mama wasn't married, so that makes him a bastard. I didn't make that up, it's fact. Now, if she was a virgin on top of that....could it be? then he'd truly be qualified to be your "messiah". All we need to do now is see if Obama was born in a manger in Hawaii/Kenya, or perhaps....Bethlehem? I heard he made a stop by there on his "OBAMA WORLD WIDE SURRENDER TOUR". You can keep your homosexual fantasies to yourself. Check that dosage dude.......it's getting worse.

I love it when I ask you questions that make you look like the nutcase you try to be. Tough question wasn't it. Kind of went against the grain of what you try to act like you are. I am upset that you will not be my boyfriend. I think it would make for a great sitcom. Two boys from Spotsylvania who give up their heterosexual lifestyle to become the couple they always wanted to believe. I can't wait for the first cover dish support at your church. I am wearing my moomoo! HELLO FRISCO, HERE WE COME.

DRay - thanks for the info (posted by lifeisbeautiful , Oct. 23, 2008 10:27 am)   
Why concern is more that they "investigated" this guy just for asking a question. What's next?
