<![CDATA[Just want to have fun with y'all.. Listen, every so often I like to lighten the mood. Got some crazy vids, they happen to be about Obama, but both sides of the aisle can laugh at them cuz they're funny and creative. Ok, first, this Rev Manning guy with the "Barack Obama.. He's not a BLACK MAN! He's Bi-Racial!" rant. This is kinda funny watching it cuz you can see the lunacy in his eyes, and the way he speaks is kinda funny at times, fast then slow and all with the tempo. Either way, the really funny stuff starts around 3:30 into the video. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAHiuqhFgIs" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAHiuqhFgIs</a> Then, the really funny stuff is the site ytmnd.com (stands for You're The Man Now, Dog!) people on their site took this guy and ran with it, they start with restating the parts of the speech they like and think is funny.. <a href="http://obamastillnotablack.ytmnd.com/" rel="nofollow">http://obamastillnotablack.ytmnd.com/</a> Then somebody picks up on it and does a remix.. Pretty good actually, I enjoyed listening to the song, and i'm an Obama supporter, so really, this is fun and funny! (still trying to convince ppl cuz it can be so volitile in here sometimes!) <a href="http://black-man.ytmnd.com/" rel="nofollow">http://black-man.ytmnd.com/</a> Then an nice little FAKE news story, which ia really really creative IMHO.. <a href="http://obamanews.ytmnd.com/" rel="nofollow">http://obamanews.ytmnd.com/</a> The "I can break these cuffs" and other stuff are other fads on ytmnd.com, some might be familiar with that, but some might not be, I dunno, and I'm not about to explain all the rest of it..lol. Then the most recent tonight that inspired me to post right now.. the combining of the Scatman fad on ytmnd (great song, btw.. ) and the "Black Man" thing that these links have been about. At any rate, some nights the creativity on this site blows my mind, and since it's political in nature, thought I'd share it with cons and libs alike.. enjoy. <a href="http://blackmanscatman.ytmnd.com/" rel="nofollow">http://blackmanscatman.ytmnd.com/</a> And those who know me, yeah, I'm on another drunken stupor on CL ]]>

<![CDATA[Re CNN Confirmed Have you read what you published? Most of the article describes a governor doing her job, trying to create jobs, get competitive bids, and publicize her state. The per diem may be a little bit troubling but are nothing compared to our recent democratic mayor in Detroit. You are seeing what you want to see, not what is there. I am not a McCain supporter, but I find blind twisting of facts in support of a candidate like this troubling. Are all Obama supporters Lemmings?]]>

THIS is classic of McCain supporters. McCain wishes they weren't so stupid, and I'm certain he knows he's going to LOSE this race as a direct result of the retards that have to be told this. I just love the lady saying "Obama's an Arab" McCain tells her "No he's not" and the lady says " He's NOT ?" OMG how utterly embarrsing for you McCain people that have been lied to BY YOUR OWN PARTY. McCain has NO IDEA what TO DO with you retards, either!!!]]>

<![CDATA[This repetition of endless accusations reminds me of the days of Bill Clinton. The irrational hatred, the mindless notion that the Democrats had a secret agenda. I wish we could discuss issues, maybe there are answers we could both agree on. I know some of us don't like to think this way, but we are all in this boat together. We may think a little different about our problems and solutions, but we all want good jobs, security, a good school for our kids, and safe neighborhoods. That said, I am shocked at the level of hate for Obama. Aren't you guys sick of Bush Clinton Bush Clinton? McCain had to kiss the Bush ring, we all know that. They will own his presidency too. No one owns Obama. He is not a Clinton, Kennedy, or any other powerful families favorite child. I know there will always be a radical fringe who will do or say anything, but why are so many of you following the Pied Piper? You will just end up humiliated again when all the conspiracies are proved wrong. Speaking of Clinton, don't we owe the Clintons' an apology for thinking the worst of them all these years? Now that we know that all the conspiracies and allegations were investigated and they came up squeaky clean. Ok, not squeaky clean, but clean enough. ]]>

<![CDATA[From the Los Angeles Times At what point does it become ridiculous? McCain’s attempt to convince us he and that Palin are “change”....??? They remind me of two pathetic soap actors! Mr DEREGULATION is part of the problem. 26 YEARS OF CORPORATE RAPE AND PILLAGE, the kind that McCain’s “economic expert” Phil Gramm , the ENRON MAN, and Gramm’s big bush oil wife whore, work so hard for. McCain’s drive to get 38 million Mexican flag wavers AMNESTY should be enough to get him driven from the senate and sentenced to an OLD MAN’S REST HOME... McCain, no matter what costume he has on, no matter what rant someone’s written up for him, is simply an OLD BUSH! “Big business was granted wide access to Sarah Palin's office during her first 20 months as Alaska governor, but she rarely met with labor, environmental or other groups pressing alternative views...” Big business, lobbyists had Sarah Palin's ear Alaska's governor met with them at least 36 times, according to her calendar. Other groups were not as fortunate. By Stephen Braun,, Tom Hamburger and Chuck Neubauer Los Angeles Times Staff Writers October 11, 2008 WASHINGTON — Big business was granted wide access to Sarah Palin's office during her first 20 months as Alaska governor, but she rarely met with labor, environmental or other groups pressing alternative views, her official calendar shows. On at least three dozen occasions, Palin, now the Republican vice presidential nominee, spoke with executives and lobbyists working for an array of energy, mining and tourism firms with major investments in Alaska. Among those who visited Palin's Juneau office multiple times were the chief executives of Exxon Mobil and ConocoPhillips, as well as several dozen other top oil and gas company officials. "We have not had problems with access to Gov. Palin or her key department people," said Ashley Reed, a lobbyist who was on a team of natural-gas officials who met with Palin in April 2007. Reed was working with Enstar, a gas firm seeking approval for a natural-gas "bullet" pipeline. Despite that access, however, Palin has cut an independent course on oil and gas issues -- which has won wide acclaim from Alaskans. She forced the companies to share windfall profits with the state, moved to pull the lucrative leases of those that were not actively exploring for oil and chose a Canadian firm to manage a major gas pipeline project. Still, Palin has held few meetings with groups holding alternative views. Her calendar shows that Palin met four times in those 20 months with officials from the Teamsters, who endorsed her 2006 gubernatorial bid, and the AFL-CIO. She also held two sessions with members of a conservation group seeking state support in addressing climate change -- an issue on which Palin does not see eye to eye with environmentalists. "I don't think we've had the time we need to press the importance of our issues," said Kate Troll, executive director of the Alaska Conservation Alliance. The activists have not been granted a follow-up to a February 2007 meeting with the governor "despite multiple requests," said Peter Van Tuyn, an Alaska environmental lawyer. In an August interview with National Public Radio before being named John McCain's running mate, Palin declared: "I've had about two lobbyists, two, maybe three lobbyists who have snuck in [to her statehouse office] with a group of people. So I can't say they've never been in, but we don't invite lobbyists in." According to her calendar, however, Palin has met with more than a dozen registered lobbyists since taking office in December 2006. Taylor Griffin, a McCain campaign spokesman in Anchorage, insisted that Palin "has a policy that she does not meet with lobbyists. As governor, she has hundreds of meetings and, as she concedes, occasionally a lobbyist slips through." But the policy "was never clearly articulated," a former senior aide said. "It didn't get applied consistently." Though some veteran lobbyists have complained about being effectively barred from Palin's office, Reed and several others said Palin's aides were aware before the meetings that lobbyists would be coming. "My personal experience is they've always welcomed discussions," Reed said. In several cases, registered lobbyists met with Palin and returned for second sessions. Robert A. Evans, a veteran lobbyist in Anchorage, and several Safeway supermarket executives met with Palin on April 17, 2007. Eight days later, Evans returned to her office with a team of executives from Agrium, an ammonia and fertilizer operation. Lisa Parker, an Agrium executive who also is a registered lobbyist, was among them. Evans confirmed the meetings but otherwise declined to comment. The Times obtained Palin's calendar under a Freedom of Information Act request. The governor's office turned down a similar request for calendars and schedules pertaining to her husband, Todd Palin, who reportedly has played a prominent role in her decision-making. Gov. Palin's office said her husband does not keep a calendar. In addition to meetings with big business and lobbyists, Palin's calendar indicates that she filled her daily schedules with dozens of media interviews. That access seems a far cry from her recent complaints that the national media has "filtered" her message as a vice presidential candidate. According to aides, Palin wooed reporters in Juneau with plates of brownies and telephone calls on their birthdays. Courting the Alaska press proved to be a key component of her soaring popularity in the state -- long before she struggled during interviews with national television anchors Katie Couric and Charles Gibson. "She craved publicity and the poll ratings that came with it," said Larry Persily, a former Alaska journalist who worked for Palin in Alaska's state office in Washington until earlier this year. The calendar also details Palin's frequent stays at her home in Wasilla, Alaska -- which became a source of controversy when it was learned that she collected per diem allowances while away from the governor's mansion in Juneau. Palin received a $60 stipend for each of the hundreds of days she worked out of Anchorage and stayed at home, about an hour away. Alaska officials said she is entitled to the per diem when she works outside the state capital, and Griffin added that Palin has spent much less on travel and security arrangements than her Republican predecessor, Frank Murkowski. Palin collected the per diem for six days around Christmas 2007 when she had no events listed on her official calendar. She was paid for Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve but did not seek stipends for Christmas or New Year's Day. Her official work away from Juneau for which she received stipends included visits to libraries in Wasilla and nearby Palmer, a stop at the annual Bear Paw Festival in Eagle River and attendance at the Moose Dropping Festival in Talkeetna. ]]>

<![CDATA[To the lady. It is my opinion that the GOP activists need to increase the distortions given McCain's slide in the polls. Keep in mind that the tactics used by the right have been handed down from Atwater (Bush 41) to Rove (Bush 43) to McCain (Bush III). McCain was finally embarassed enough to speak down to the rabid crowd. Here is an excerpt from a newpaper article: "Late in the town hall meeting, Gayle Quinnell of Shakopee called Obama "an Arab." Taken aback, McCain shook his head and, taking the microphone from her, said, "No, ma'am. He's a decent family man, citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues." After the rally, Quinnell was unrepentant. "You can't trust Barack Hussein Obama because he is a Muslim and a terrorist," she said." (Star Tribune) This is the extent that the right have fanned the flames. Palin didn't stop the 'terrorist' and 'kill him' shouts from the previous day's mob. McCain, to his credit, stomped on a couple of kool-aid-drinkers. Unfortunately, there is an element among the righties that simply do not think. They only regurgitate the Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity, Liddy garbage. ]]>

<![CDATA[Obama will tell every and any lie that he thinks will help him get elected. Remember his promise to not take public campaign funds? As soon as he saw he could do better, he flipped (aka lied). He's going to cut taxes, even though he voted against tax cuts in the past. He's going to cut spending, even though he's proposed more than a trillion dollars in new programs. And then there's Biden. I don't know if he's just clueless or if he's delusional. He made so many huge errors of fact in his one debate I think there should be real concern about his ability to serve. He's the guy who's supposed to be a "foreign affairs" wiz? He proved he doesn't know WTF is going on in the Middle East. Even his answer regarding the duties of the VP was so idiotic the average grade school civics student would know Biden didn't was delusional in his answer. How can Biden be ready to serve as VP when he doesn't even know what the duties of the VP are? It's just too risky to vote for Obama. He has no real relevant experience and Biden is a moron.]]>

Is he still doing the gay sex and cocaine thing? Or just one and not the other? And by the way, how am I misinformed? Obama's mother is trash and his father was a drunken loser. That's well established fact. Maybe you should stick to ironing. Excuse me, but I am NOT Frenchy or whoever you think I am. I am a woman that saw this post and thought that you were a jerk, so I put in my 2 cents. If you don't like it....tough.

<![CDATA[At last the Honorable Senator McCain lives up to the title. His HONORABLE actions yesterday may not bring him enough votes to win, but he is returning to the image of the decent man that he is. At the Minnesota rally, he forcefully rejected the 'mob mentality' that has permeated the Republican activists. As McCain chastised the lady who was afraid of Obama because he was 'arab' (McCain rightly dispelled that lie) and the man who attempted to vilify Obama ("I have to tell you he is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States"). McCain still won't get my vote (Palin choice is still a disastrous example of knee-jerk poor judgment) but he is regaining my respect. ]]>

<![CDATA[ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Oct 10) - Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday. The politically charged inquiry imperiled her reputation as a reformer on John McCain's Republican ticket. Investigator Stephen Branchflower, in a report by a bipartisan panel that investigated the matter, found Palin in violation of a state ethics law that prohibits public officials from using their office for personal gain.

Barack Obama barely knew his father and went through considerable pain over not having a father in his life. If you are man, and you had a father, can't you at least have the decency to understand how hard this must have been for him as a young boy? To go into details about his father's choices in life, which have NOTHING to do with Barack, and to talk about what happened to him in that car accident are nothing short of unforgivable. Regardless of who you are supporting in this race, you have the responsiblity of acting like a decent human being. I hope you can look at yourself in the mirror, because I have no respect for someone who thinks like you do. ]]>

<![CDATA[ "WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY'S SON SAYS HE IS PRO-OBAMA"....Christopher Buckley explains why he's not writing his endorsement of Barack Obama in his usual column at the back of National Review, the magazine his father founded: My colleague, the superb and very dishy Kathleen Parker, recently wrote in National Review Online a column stating what John Cleese as Basil Fawlty would call “the bleeding obvious”: namely, that Sarah Palin is an embarrassment, and a dangerous one at that. She’s not exactly alone. New York Times columnist David Brooks, who began his career at NR, just called Governor Palin “a cancer on the Republican Party.” As for Kathleen, she has to date received 12,000 (quite literally) foam-at-the-mouth hate-emails. One correspondent, if that’s quite the right word, suggested that Kathleen’s mother should have aborted her and tossed the fetus into a Dumpster. There’s Socratic dialogue for you. Dear Pup once said to me sighfully after a right-winger who fancied himself a WFB protégé had said something transcendently and provocatively cretinous, “You know, I’ve spent my entire life time separating the Right from the kooks.” Well, the dear man did his best. At any rate, I don’t have the kidney at the moment for 12,000 emails saying how good it is he’s no longer alive to see his Judas of a son endorse for the presidency a covert Muslim who pals around with the Weather Underground. So, you’re reading it here first. The modern GOP is the party of Newt Gingrich, Tom DeLay, Karl Rove, George Bush, Dick Cheney, John McCain, and Sarah Palin. It's not just off the rails. It doesn't even know where the rails are anymore.]]>

<![CDATA[I laugh at you. You have no idea what's going on. Do you? The conservative agenda is dead. Trickle down? Dead. Supply side? Dead. Never again will people hold to the idea that the rich deserve to pay less taxes than the middle class. You can listen to the news, the conservative policies are dead. You can blame the Democrats, but everyone knows the truth. The ideas were Reagan's, implemented by Clinton, Newt Gingrich, and Bush Sr, and now this poisoned fruit has destroyed the countries finances under the faithful stewardship of GW Bush. GM and Ford stock are on "death watch". Do you laugh about that? Delphi is bankrupt. Is that funny to you? I bet seeing 10% unemployment is a real hoot to you. You must be a bankruptcy lawyer to be so happy.

<![CDATA[Nice story in preceding post from Mr Rove and the wallstreet journal, I will cut and paste this one about McCain for you from my source... A McCain Flip-Flop on Osama bin Laden? On August 7, 1998, hundreds of people were killed when terrorists detonated car bombs at the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya. Almost immediately, the United States had evidence that a little-known group called al Qaeda was complicit in the attacks. Though al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden had been plotting against the United States for years, this act of mass-murder won the band of Islamic terrorists and its leaders worldwide infamy. Weeks after the attack, President Clinton fired scores of Tomahawk missiles at a suspected al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan, and he also attacked a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan his administration claimed was a chemical weapons plant. Ten years later, this past August 7, John McCain released a statement on the anniversary of the embassy bombings. It was a harsh indictment of the Clinton administration and others who in McCain's estimation had not regarded the threat of al Qaeda with sufficient seriousness back then: Today marks the 10th anniversary of the al Qaeda terrorist attacks on U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed more than 225 people, including 12 Americans, and injured thousands others. The attacks made it painfully clear that al Qaeda's terrorist call to arms to attack Americans anywhere in the world was not an empty threat. The attacks proved the vulnerability of U.S. installations overseas, and demonstrated -- to any that needed further evidence -- that al Qaeda was a well-funded, organized and treacherous terrorist organization determined to kill Americans. Tragically, the U.S. response to the 1998 embassy bombings was wholly inadequate in addressing the threat posed by Al Qaeda despite the horrific toll of the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. Too many Clinton Administration officials refused to act effectively to counter the dangers posed by al Qaeda. Three years later, al Qaeda's commitment to kill was devastatingly brought to our soil. But at the time--even after the embassy bombings--McCain, too, was slow to recognize the nature of the threat posed by al Qaeda and bin Laden. Weeks after these attacks, he even came across as dismissive of bin Laden as a danger and showed no enthusiasm for hunting down this terrorist and his al Qaeda allies. And he did so in a Mother Jones interview. In mid-September 1998, journalist Jason Vest, on assignment for the magazine, conducted an hour-long interview with McCain. At the time, McCain's efforts to pass campaign finance reform and anti-tobacco legislation had made him, as Vest put it, "the darling of political reporters." Much of the interview covered issues of money and politics. But with the embassy bombings still in the news, Vest asked McCain about bin Laden and how to deal with terrorism. The following exchange ensued: Vest: You not only have had combat experience in Vietnam, but you were also a prisoner of war. When you look at terrorism right now, with people like Osama bin Laden, do you have any reservations about watching strikes like that? McCain: You could say, Look, is this guy, Laden, really the bad guy that's depicted? Most of us have never heard of him before. And where there is a parallel with Vietnam is: What's plan B? What do we do next? We sent our troops into Vietnam to protect the bases. Lyndon Johnson said, Only to protect the bases. Next thing you know....Well, we've declared to the terrorists that we're going to strike them wherever they live. That's fine. But what's next? That's where there might be some comparison. McCain's answer makes it seem that he was not overly concerned about bin Laden or eager to go after him and that he was worried that military action against al Qaeda could draw the United States into another quagmire. That is, he was talking like those people whom McCain attacked in 2008 for not having realized in 1998 that "al Qaeda was a well-funded, organized and treacherous terrorist organization determined to kill Americans." On August 20, 1998--the day that Clinton attacked the al Qaeda camp in Afghanistan and the factory in Sudan--McCain did issue a press release praising the military action as a "welcome response" He added that "American credibility and resolve have been enhanced by today's strikes." Two days later on CNN, he again hailed Clinton's response: "The president's decision to strike and his administration's promise to prevail in what may well be a long-term campaign were right." But a search of the Congressional Record at www.thomas.loc.gov indicates McCain made no statements on the Senate floor regarding bin Laden or al Qaeda any time that year. And a Nexis search of the six months following the embassy bombings produced no references to any McCain comments related to this terrorist outfit and its leader--other than his praise for Clinton's retaliatory strikes. McCain's 1998 remarks to Mother Jones and the absence of public statements from him about bin Laden at the time suggest that McCain had been as much behind the curve on al Qaeda as the people he would decry ten years after the fact. At the time, he did not in public treat al Qaeda as a serious danger or advocate swift and extensive action. A decade later, he had no reason--other than politics--to be pointing fingers. You quote Rove and the Wall Street Journal and I shall quote Mother Jones. Should pretty much equal each other out.]]>

Regardless of who you are supporting in this race, you have the responsiblity of acting like a decent human being. I hope you can look at yourself in the mirror, because I have no respect for someone who thinks like you do. ]]>

<![CDATA[You disappoint me. We know you frogs hate Bush. But you ignore the strong economy we enjoyed until the democrats won congress. Since then, everything has gone to hell. Except that we haven't had a terrorist attack in 7 years. Some people count that as a pretty significant achievement. But you know what? Bush isn't running again. He served his two terms. Beating democrats twice. And John McCain is running now. You say he came from "privilege". His father and grandfather were admirals in the Navy. Not exactly CEOs on Wall Street, but pretty significant achievements. Not big money jobs, but lots of responsibility. And Obama's father? A drunken womanizer who left his wife and kid to return to Kenya and get drunk, crash his car and lose his legs. As far as who McCain is, here's some educational material............ Wall Street Journal * APRIL 30, 2008 Getting to Know John McCain * It came to me while I was having dinner with Doris Day. No, not that Doris Day. The Doris Day who is married to Col. Bud Day, Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, fighter pilot, Vietnam POW and roommate of John McCain at the Hanoi Hilton. As we ate near the Days' home in Florida recently, I heard things about Sen. McCain that were deeply moving and politically troubling. Moving because they told me things about him the American people need to know. And troubling because it is clear that Mr. McCain is one of the most private individuals to run for president in history. [Getting to Know John Mccain] AP * Col. (Ret.) Bud Day with John McCain at a campaign stop in Pensacola, Fla., in January. * When it comes to choosing a president, the American people want to know more about a candidate than policy positions. They want to know about character, the values ingrained in his heart. For Mr. McCain, that means they will want to know more about him personally than he has been willing to reveal. Mr. Day relayed to me one of the stories Americans should hear. It involves what happened to him after escaping from a North Vietnamese prison during the war. When he was recaptured, a Vietnamese captor broke his arm and said, "I told you I would make you a cripple." The break was designed to shatter Mr. Day's will. He had survived in prison on the hope that one day he would return to the United States and be able to fly again. To kill that hope, the Vietnamese left part of a bone sticking out of his arm, and put him in a misshapen cast. This was done so that the arm would heal at "a goofy angle," as Mr. Day explained. Had it done so, he never would have flown again. But it didn't heal that way because of John McCain. Risking severe punishment, Messrs. McCain and Day collected pieces of bamboo in the prison courtyard to use as a splint. Mr. McCain put Mr. Day on the floor of their cell and, using his foot, jerked the broken bone into place. Then, using strips from the bandage on his own wounded leg and the bamboo, he put Mr. Day's splint in place. * Former POW Earnest Brace describes conversations with John McCain through the walls of a Hanoi prison. * Years later, Air Force surgeons examined Mr. Day and complimented the treatment he'd gotten from his captors. Mr. Day corrected them. It was Dr. McCain who deserved the credit. Mr. Day went on to fly again. Another story I heard over dinner with the Days involved Mr. McCain serving as one of the three chaplains for his fellow prisoners. At one point, after being shuttled among different prisons, Mr. Day had found himself as the most senior officer at the Hanoi Hilton. So he tapped Mr. McCain to help administer religious services to the other prisoners. Today, Mr. Day, a very active 83, still vividly recalls Mr. McCain's sermons. "He remembered the Episcopal liturgy," Mr. Day says, "and sounded like a bona fide preacher." One of Mr. McCain's first sermons took as its text Luke 20:25 and Matthew 22:21, "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's." Mr. McCain said he and his fellow prisoners shouldn't ask God to free them, but to help them become the best people they could be while serving as POWs. It was Caesar who put them in prison and Caesar who would get them out. Their task was to act with honor. Another McCain story, somewhat better known, is about the Vietnamese practice of torturing him by tying his head between his ankles with his arms behind him, and then leaving him for hours. The torture so badly busted up his shoulders that to this day Mr. McCain can't raise his arms over his head. One night, a Vietnamese guard loosened his bonds, returning at the end of his watch to tighten them again so no one would notice. Shortly after, on Christmas Day, the same guard stood beside Mr. McCain in the prison yard and drew a cross in the sand before erasing it. Mr. McCain later said that when he returned to Vietnam for the first time after the war, the only person he really wanted to meet was that guard. Mr. Day recalls with pride Mr. McCain stubbornly refusing to accept special treatment or curry favor to be released early, even when gravely ill. Mr. McCain knew the Vietnamese wanted the propaganda victory of the son and grandson of Navy admirals accepting special treatment. "He wasn't corruptible then," Mr. Day says, "and he's not corruptible today." The stories told to me by the Days involve more than wartime valor. For example, in 1991 Cindy McCain was visiting Mother Teresa's orphanage in Bangladesh when a dying infant was thrust into her hands. The orphanage could not provide the medical care needed to save her life, so Mrs. McCain brought the child home to America with her. She was met at the airport by her husband, who asked what all this was about. Mrs. McCain replied that the child desperately needed surgery and years of rehabilitation. "I hope she can stay with us," she told her husband. Mr. McCain agreed. Today that child is their teenage daughter Bridget. I was aware of this story. What I did not know, and what I learned from Doris, is that there was a second infant Mrs. McCain brought back. She ended up being adopted by a young McCain aide and his wife. "We were called at midnight by Cindy," Wes Gullett remembers, and "five days later we met our new daughter Nicki at the L.A. airport wearing the only clothing Cindy could find on the trip back, a 7-Up T-shirt she bought in the Bangkok airport." Today, Nicki is a high school sophomore. Mr. Gullett told me, "I never saw a hospital bill" for her care. A few, but not many, of the stories told to me by the Days have been written about, such as in Robert Timberg's 1996 book "A Nightingale's Song." But Mr. McCain rarely refers to them on the campaign trail. There is something admirable in his reticence, but he needs to overcome it. Private people like Mr. McCain are rare in politics for a reason. Candidates who are uncomfortable sharing their interior lives limit their appeal. But if Mr. McCain is to win the election this fall, he has to open up. Americans need to know about his vision for the nation's future, especially his policy positions and domestic reforms. They also need to learn about the moments in his life that shaped him. Mr. McCain cannot make this a biography-only campaign – but he can't afford to make it a biography-free campaign either. Unless he opens up more, many voters will never know the experiences of his life that show his character, integrity and essential decency. These qualities mattered in America's first president and will matter as Americans decide on their 44th president. Mr. Rove is the former senior adviser and deputy chief of staff to President George W. Bush.]]>

<![CDATA[Just shows how people side step what they can't respond to. If you love Bush and McCain, name me one thing Bush got right in eight years. Bush and McCain... Two men, both children of privilege, handed fighter jets to toss in the ocean at our expense. (that is where rich kids serve) Neither ever studied in school or played sports, just rich brats drifting along. Both claimed epiphanies of sorts and ran for elected office, both claimed to work with both sides... Both have a muddy record of accomplishing anything. I wonder what the nicknames Bush and McCain had while flying? No one ever mentions it. Obama grew up without his father, was lower income, and achieved everything he is today through hard work and sacrifice, and without forgetting his roots either...]]>

<![CDATA[Dear Frenchy, We appreciate when you Frogs share your opinions about our way of life, our military decisions and our political decisions. And we especially appreciate it when you tell us how you despise President Bush. You bitch about "Your President" when maybe you should be more concerned about your own president; the horndog. If we knew then what we know know you'd be speaking German. Your president has moved this country further down the road of socialism than any other president. Your president has done more to undermine the financial system of the United States than any other president. Your president has done more to make our allies not trust us and turn their back on us than any other president. Bush is the worst leader since Nero! The only bragging point Bush has against the possibility of himself being the most absolutely stupid and inept leader in all of human history is that he never started a ground war with Russia in the fall. But he is working on it... ]]>

<![CDATA[I read some of the article, same old lies and innuendo. The article slants everything in a light critical of Obama and is very light on facts and heavy on suggestion. You could spew this garbage about anyone. Honestly, there is nothing there at all. The Poster labels his ad Truth... People know truth, truth is proof of allegations. The poster labels his ad Truth because he lacks the evidence of proof and so must trick you by declaring that he has already found the Truth, yet he only has allegations. Why is Truth poster trying so hard to make you believe him? because it sure is easier to spread a hundred lies to make you not vote for someone than it is to inspire you to believe in something. ]]>

<![CDATA[Your party has given us the most liberal President in history. He has enacted huge new government programs, created giant new agencies, thought he could turn Iraq into a Democracy by bombing the shit out of it, and destroyed any property and privacy rights we had. Bush is Lyndon Johnson all over again! Substitute the words Iraq and Vietnam and it's the same God damn thing! Your president has moved this country further down the road of socialism than any other president. Your president has done more to undermine the financial system of the United States than any other president. Your president has done more to make our allies not trust us and turn their back on us than any other president. Bush is the worst leader since Nero! The only bragging point Bush has against the possibility of himself being the most absolutely stupid and inept leader in all of human history is that he never started a ground war with Russia in the fall. But he is working on it... Your President has done nothing, not one single good thing for America. Thanks for foolishly starting wars, thanks for doubling the national debt, thanks for the collapsing bridges and drowning cities, and thanks for not capturing Bin Laden. Now as the election season approaches, we have no solutions for our wars, we have no recourse to our upcoming depression, we have no way to pay for all the promises the politicians of past promised us. Yet you worry about socialism? Get a Fucking clue! We are BROKE! we got no money for socialism! That's for countries who don't trade all of their wealth away to the Chinese and big oil. The only fairy tale is the one we will tell our kids and grandkids, the tale of the Clinton years, and how you could get multiple job offers when looking for work, how housing was a good investment, how the stock market went up every year, how the family could afford Sunday drives, how most of us thought we had a bit of security. They won't believe us, but it will help them sleep. ]]>

<![CDATA[A proud and strong democratic country was starting to become aware of the corruption in goverment and was wanting to elect a new president and vice president. They began looking everywhere.. They looked to actors and lawyers to Patriotic Americans and Hockey Mom's. Well one day.. the Socialists said if you elect me I will be a good president.. The Country said but if we elect you, you'll take all our money and use it in ways that don't represent us. You make us a socialist country.. Like has happened before. You'll use your power to further weaken our country and debase the family. You will appoint your radical friends to positions of power in our country. The Socialists that had some really really bad friends said he would'nt he said he would take care of the middle class. He promised he would be a good president. So the people elected him.. and then over time he started making Changes..to the country. Why did you take away our freedoms, why are you imposing your belief's on an entire country... cried the people Why are social programs eating away at the things we have worked at for so long thought the country. The people began to wonder and they asked the president.. Why did you do this to us.. You knew what I was when you elected me.. said the president and he wandered away... ]]>

<![CDATA[The issue of who started it is not really at the heart of this particular debate. If you fall off a cliff, it is important to know who pushed you, but this is not a cliff, this is a downward spiral and we could have stopped it anytime during the last two previous years. People change policies all the time. Giving sub prime loans was a good idea. It was also a good idea not to give too many with the economy slowing down. Someone simply took their hand off the rudder. So we can blame the Democrats, bankers, Republicans, irresponsible borrowers, and a dozen other causes, but no one did anything and here we are. No bailout will save us, only good fiscal policies and avoiding panic is all we can do now. We simply have to ride it out. Maybe now is a good time to fine tune NAFTA...]]>

<![CDATA[I like a lot of ideas about Libertarians, but overall they are too ideological. My opinion is that too much Ideology takes away all practical solutions. Such as drugs, Libertarians think all drugs should be legal to all people any time, including minors. They believe this because the constitution protects your right to the pursuit of happiness, not pursuit of happiness at age 18. I think it's crazy to allow no federal government intervention into drug policy. I also think it is too hard to enforce drug policy on a state by state basis. Sometimes we need an expanded federal government for a commonality of laws and standards. But I would much rather debate these points than engage in the current discussion of why our government has gone insane and started giving money to anyone who will accept it in the hopes of "saving the economy". Our government has turned into a complete joke. Will any politician stand up and declare that we have nothing to fear but fear itself? I doubt it. ]]>

<![CDATA[Any conservatives listen to McCain's new bail out plan? Everybody gets a bunch of money except the poor honest SOB paying his bills on time every month.

If your posting was wrongly flagged down ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Title: (politics) Pants on fire OBAMA: "I believe this is a final verdict on the failed economic policies of the last eight years, strongly promoted by President Bush and supported by Senator McCain, that essentially said that we should strip away regulations, consumer protections, let the market run wild, and prosperity would rain down on all of us. It hasn't worked out that way. And so now we've got to take some decisive action." THE FACTS: McCain has indeed favored less regulation over the years but supported tighter rules and accountability on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two years before the start of a financial crisis prompted in part by those giant mortgage underwriters. Obama was not a leader in that unsuccessful effort. Some of the current problems can be traced to legislation passed in 1999 that lifted many regulations over the financial industry. That deregulation was championed by President Clinton, who signed the legislation, and by former Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, now a top Obama economic adviser. * it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests ]]>

I just asked in my post because all I know fo Obama is that he is for change. What does that mean? Change scares people when they don't know what is meant by that. So, they look at what accomplishments they have achieved in the past to see what changes may be made in the future. Really all was after is to help me make up my mind on where to place my vote. I tend not to vote for party, but more for the individual. Personally, I don't like McCain. And don't worry, I don't like Cynthia McKinney either. So, actually I am trying to decide between Obama and Bob Barr. ]]>

<![CDATA[Most presidents didn't have a voluminous list of accomplishments before they become a President. They usually serve in a state house, rise up to Federal service or as state governor, then run for the Presidency. Some go the path of General, sometimes preacher, others are rich people who can finance privately. The problem with accomplishments is that they take a lot of time, but time is deadly. I think Thomas Jefferson, James Polk, or John Kennedy would be good presidents, problem is they are dead! McCain will be dead soon too, then we will have our beauty queen at the helm. So let's reconsider... You are allowed to vote for anyone, for any reason, but I vote for men who have a dream, a vision, and a path to reach it. The most respected, accomplished, and admired President who has done the most for the common man and the whole world who is still alive is Jimmy Carter, but Jimmy has endorsed Obama, so listen to all that wisdom and experience and accomplishment you value so much. Vote Obama!!! Below is a cut and paste of about half of what Carter actually accomplished. He did way more not mentioned that he never took any credit for. Jimmy Carter served as president from January 20, 1977 to January 20, 1981. Significant foreign policy accomplishments of his administration included the Panama Canal treaties, the Camp David Accords, the treaty of peace between Egypt and Israel, the SALT II treaty with the Soviet Union, and the establishment of U.S. diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China. He championed human rights throughout the world. On the domestic side, the administration's achievements included a comprehensive energy program conducted by a new Department of Energy; deregulation in energy, transportation, communications, and finance; major educational programs under a new Department of Education; and major environmental protection legislation, including the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. Mr. Carter is the author of twenty-three books, many of which are now in revised editions: Why Not the Best? 1975, 1996; A Government as Good as Its People, 1977, 1996; Keeping Faith: Memoirs of a President, 1982, 1995; Negotiation: The Alternative to Hostility, 1984, 2003; The Blood of Abraham, 1985, 1993, 2007; Everything to Gain: Making the Most of the Rest of Your Life, written with Rosalynn Carter, 1987, 1995; An Outdoor Journal, 1988, 1994; Turning Point: A Candidate, a State, and a Nation Come of Age, 1992; Talking Peace: A Vision for the Next Generation, 1993, 1995; Always a Reckoning, 1995; The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer, illustrated by Amy Carter, 1995; Living Faith, 1996; Sources of Strength: Meditations on Scripture for a Living Faith, 1997; The Virtues of Aging, 1998; An Hour before Daylight: Memories of a Rural Boyhood, 2001; Christmas in Plains: Memories, 2001; The Nobel Peace Prize Lecture, 2002; The Hornet's Nest: A Novel of the Revolutionary War, 2003; Sharing Good Times, 2004; Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis, 2005; Palestine Peace Not Apartheid, 2006; Beyond the White House: Waging Peace, Fighting Disease, Building Hope, 2007; and A Remarkable Mother, 2008. In 1982, he became University Distinguished Professor at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and founded The Carter Center. Actively guided by President Carter, the nonpartisan and nonprofit Center addresses national and international issues of public policy. Carter Center fellows, associates, and staff join with President Carter in efforts to resolve conflict, promote democracy, protect human rights, and prevent disease and other afflictions. Through the Global 2000 programs, the Center advances health and agriculture in the developing world. It has spearheaded the international effort to eradicate Guinea worm disease, which will be the second disease in history to be eliminated. President Carter and The Carter Center have engaged in conflict mediation in Ethiopia and Eritrea (1989), North Korea (1994), Liberia (1994), Haiti (1994), Bosnia (1994), Sudan (1995), the Great Lakes region of Africa (1995-96), Sudan and Uganda (1999), Venezuela (2002-2003), Nepal (2004-2008), and Ecuador and Colombia (2008). Under his leadership The Carter Center has sent seventy election-monitoring missions to the Americas, Africa, and Asia. These include Panama (1989), Nicaragua (1990), Guyana (1992), China (1997), Nigeria (1998), Indonesia (1999), East Timor (1999), Mexico (2000), Guatemala (2003), Venezuela (2004), Ethiopia (2005), Liberia (2005), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (2006), and Nepal (2008). The permanent facilities of The Carter Presidential Center were dedicated in October, 1986, and include the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum, administered by the National Archives and Records Administration . Also open to visitors is the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site in Plains, administered by the National Park Service. Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter volunteer one week a year for Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization that helps needy people in the United States and in other countries renovate and build homes for themselves. He also teaches Sunday school and is a deacon in the Maranatha Baptist Church of Plains. For recreation, he enjoys fly-fishing, woodworking, jogging, cycling, tennis, and skiing. The Carters have three sons, one daughter, eight grandsons, three granddaughters, and one great-grandson. On December 10, 2002, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2002 to Mr. Carter "for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development." ]]>

<![CDATA[You'll never vote for him, so what's the point in asking (or answering)? You're a somewhat convincing liar though, I'll give you that.]]>

<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives2/2008/10/021724.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives2/2008/10/021724.php</a> On Wednesday the 1st of October I received a call on my cell while in the car with my husband. It was a woman who identified herself as calling from the Obama Campaign. The phone # she called from was 903-798-6020 which lists as “Obama Volunteers of Texarkana” (Texas). She asked if I was an Obama supporter to which I replied: “No, I don’t support him, your guy is a socialist who voted four times in the State Senate to let little babies die in hospital closets; I think you should find something better to do with your time.” I hung up. Thursday, October 2, I answered the front door to find the Secret Service. Immediately I thought of the call and was furious that apparently you are not allowed to call Obama a Socialist without the Secret Service coming to investigate. Instead, they asked me about the following comment, relayed by the Obama Volunteer of Texarkana who called me, unsolicited on my cell phone: “I will never support Obama and he will wind up dead on a hospital floor.” My husband laughed and told them “No, she called him a socialist but she never said a word about him dying.” I gave them my actual quote. The woman asked insolently “Oh? Well why would she make that up?” I replied that I supposed she wasn’t happy about what I said about her candidate and the Agent said “That’s right, you were rude!” The last time I checked being rude wasn’t a crime in America. Luckily the big file they had gathered on me didn’t indicate mental instability or a past life of stalking/crime, however they did want to know how I felt about Obama. That was my limit. I told the Agent in no uncertain terms that my thoughts were not pertinent to their investigation, that this was America and the last time I checked I was allowed to think whatever I wanted without being questioned by the Secret Service. In fact, even if I had said what she claimed, that isn’t a threat. I told them (again) and my husband verified that the statement reported by Obama’s volunteer was a lie. I asked them if there was a tape of the call and they said no. I said, “So on the word of a ticked off Obama supporter you are on my porch with no other evidence and you want to question me about my THOUGHTS!?” They informed me that there was no evidence she was an Obama supporter…someone calling from his campaign…are you kidding? I was not allowed to know the name of my accuser at which point they informed me that it wasn’t like I was in a court of law, YET, as if this was a good thing. I recognized this as a veiled threat. I told them I would happily go to court since I did nothing wrong and at least then my accuser would have to face me rather than sending the thought police to my house. They then said they were trying to do me a favor, that they came to me first before “embarrassing you by going to all your neighbors and family”, another threat? I told them to be my guest and talk to whomever they wanted but they weren’t going to investigate my thoughts on my porch. They also informed me that it would be easier if the next time a supporter calls me I just say “Yeah sure count me in, or just hang up” apparently so she won’t get her undies in a bundle and give them more useless trips. Yeah right. I said “Look, someone calls me unsolicited on my cell phone to ask me to support their candidate and I can’t tell them why I don’t?” I said I was sorry they made a wasted trip but if they had a problem with some made up lie they needed to go talk to her about it because it wasn’t my fault they had to drive from Houston for nothing. At one point I went inside and got a notepad to record their badge numbers and they refused to show me their badges. They had done the quick flip when they arrived. I asked for a card and the female Agent refused to give me one stating “You’re not going to get a card.” The male Agent gave me a card and told me I could contact Houston with any questions. The fact that the volunteer lied, the fact that the Secret Service came to my house to question me about my thoughts and feelings and threaten to embarrass me to my neighbors and go to court if I didn’t cooperate is not really the tragedy here. Because that girl on the phone doesn’t have the pull to send the Secret Service to my home. Someone high in the ranks of a campaign working for a man who may be the next President of the United States of America felt comfortable bringing the force of the Federal Government to bear on a private citizen on nothing but the word of a partisan volunteer. I want to file a counter complaint that false charges were made, that a false report was given to a peace officer. The Secret Service told me I cannot because they will protect the identity of the complainant. I also want the file they have on me destroyed and I want to know that my phone isn’t tapped, etcetera. I am hearing a lot of “Out of my Jurisdiction”. Do I also hear jackboots?

<![CDATA[Plutocracy defined: Plutocracy is rule by the wealthy, or power provided by wealth. In a plutocracy, the degree of economic inequality is high while the level of social mobility is low. This can apply to a multitude of government systems, as the key elements of plutocracy transcend and often occur concurrently with the features of those systems. Forms of control A Plutocracy is a government controlled by a minuscule proportion of extremely wealthy individuals found in most societies. In many forms of government, those in power benefit financially, sometimes enough to belong to the aforementioned wealthy class. Classically, a plutocracy was an oligarchy, which is to say a government controlled by the wealthy few. Usually this meant that these ‘plutocrats’ controlled the executive, legislative and judicial aspects of government, the armed forces, and most of the natural resources. To a certain degree, there are still some situations in which private corporations and wealthy individuals may exert such strong influence on governments, that the effect can arguably be compared to a plutocracy. If there are no forms of control within the society, the plutocracy can easily collapse into a kleptocracy, "reign of thieves", where the powerholders attempt to confiscate as much public funds as possible as their private property. A kleptocratic state is usually thoroughly corrupt, has very little production and its economy is unstable. Many failed states represent kleptocracies. ]]>

<![CDATA[the Chicago Annenberg Challenge was a huge deal of money spanning years and many important people were involved. The goal was to further public education. (Not bomb things) For those with the will, this is the report on who worked for it, where the money went, and what was attempted and accomplished. <a href="http://ccsr.uchicago.edu/publications/p0b06.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://ccsr.uchicago.edu/publications/p0b06.pdf</a> Are all the people who worked on this project terrorists or sympathizers? Are all the people who knew Ayers terrorists or sympathizers? I doubt it, otherwise they would be a hundred man army, at least. About Ayers... If the government let this guy out of jail and work in public schools, why should Obama consider him a threat? I mean, really! Did he even know initially? Shouldn't we blame Bush Sr for being soft on terror? I bet there are sex offenders in your neighborhood, but do you know them all? This guy was not on any "list" and I bet there are plenty of people who never even heard about it. When you meet someone new, do you Google their name and do a background check to see what they were like in the sixties? C'mon! And yes, you will keep hearing the fact that Obama was 8 years old, because that shows the irrelevance of the argument. You see, Ayers was a radical domestic terrorist in the sixties, but a school reformer and community activist in the nineties when Obama would have known him. It's like Reagan being a B movie actor in the fifties, but being President in the 80's. He wasn't just acting a part, he was actually President! Because He Changed. Get it? Maybe you people should go back to talking about why you love McCain so much, how him and Palin will save us, lower our taxes, and maybe give us a revealing up-skirt shot. ]]>

He wishes he would have done more bombing. And he's still a radical American hater. And Obama and Ayers relationship is more than "just neighbors". It's just more BS like the Rev Wright relationship. Twenty years in the church, but didn't hear the anti-American rants. Even though they sold videos of those sermons in the church lobby.

<![CDATA[Smear groups and now a desperate McCain campaign are trying to connect Barack to William Ayers using age-old guilt by association techniques. Here’s the truth: the smear associating Barack to Ayers is “phony,” “tenuous,” – even “exaggerated at best if not outright false.” William Ayers is a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, with whom Barack served on the board of an education-reform organization in the mid-1990’s. According to the Associated Press, they are not close: “No evidence shows they were “pals” or even close when they worked on community boards years ago …” Smear groups and the McCain campaign are trying to connect Obama to acts Ayers committed 40 years ago – when Barack was just eight years old. Here’s what the New York Times reported on the connection: But the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers, whom he has called “somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8.” Barack has publicly denounced Ayers’ radical actions from the 1960’s: Senator Obama strongly condemns the violent actions of the Weathermen group, as he does all acts of violence. But he was an eight-year-old child when Ayers and the Weathermen were active, and any attempt to connect Obama with events of almost forty years ago is ridiculous. ]]>

<![CDATA[I pulled this article from June and posted part of it to remember the young innocent heady days of our youth before the Republicans melted our economy. CBS Poll: Obama Leads McCain Obama Ahead By Six Points, But Threat Looms Of Many Clinton Voters Planning To Back McCain June 4, 2008 The Economy And Gas Prices: Thirty-four percent of Americans cite the economy as their top concern, more than any other issue. That's followed by gas prices, cited as the top concern by 16 percent of those surveyed, the war in Iraq, cited by 15 percent, and health care, cited by 4 percent. Sixty-five percent say that the recent increase in gas prices has caused them financial hardship - and 36 percent say that hardship is serious. Nearly nine in 10 Americans expect gas prices to go up even further over the summer. Nearly one in five Americans say their income is not enough to pay their bills. Nearly half of Americans say they are making just enough to pay their bills. Americans have become slightly more optimistic about the economy than they were in May, though they still remain overwhelmingly pessimistic. Twenty percent of those surveyed say the economy is in good shape, up from 16 percent a month ago. Seventy-eight percent say the economy is in bad shape.]]>

<![CDATA[Randy Lewis, 43, admitted to Tennessee cops he had drunk at least 15 beers and downed spirits before his van rolled at speed, landing upside down. Police reported he smelt strongly of alcohol and cocaine was later found in his system. Lewis tried to claim he had been driving - but two children aged 10 and six, who were passengers in the van, revealed his son had been behind the wheel and had lost control. A 38-year-old woman was also found to have been travelling in the van - and had to be tackled to the ground by police to stop her stuffing pills in to her mouth. She suffered a broken bone in her neck in the incident, while Lewis and the children were treated for minor injuries, including multiple cuts. Lewis, who was wearing a T-shirt reading "Buy This Dad A Beer" when he was arrested, has been charged with seven offences, including reckless endangerment and child abuse. He is also accused of driving under the influence as state law does not require that the drunk owner of the vehicle be behind the wheel to be charged with the offence. Paula Elaine Evans, who was the other adult travelling in the van, faces charges including aggravated child abuse or neglect. She claims she told Lewis that the child was too young to be driving. When police searched her bag they found four different types of pill, including a methadone replacement and an anti-anxiety drug. Both Lewis and Evans are in custody. The children have been taken into care.]]>

<![CDATA[Is this why conservatives love John McCain? Getting your government handout? You talk about Obama being a Marxist, but look at what McCain is going to do! (CNN) At the second presidential debate Tuesday, McCain suggested that the government buy up bad home loan mortgages and renegotiate at the new diminished value of those homes. Under McCain's proposed $300 billion mortgage rescue plan, much of the burden of paying to keep troubled borrowers in their homes would shift to taxpayers. Those people with mortgages who are upside down in value, yet have continued to pay, shall henceforth be known as "the dumbest bunch of suckers who have ever lived" McCain's original plan called for lenders to write down the value of these mortgages and take those losses. It is obvious he will pander to any level. I wonder how we will redistribute this money... Maybe your new catch phrase could be "From each, according to his ability; to each, according to his need." ]]>

<![CDATA[No no no, try to understand this one. The Americans and Russians, at the height of the arms race, realized that if they continued in the usual manner they were going to blow up the whole world. One day they sat down and decided to settle the whole dispute with one dog fight. They'd have five years to breed the best fighting dog in the world and whichever side's dog won would be entitled to dominate the world. The losing side would have to lay down its arms. The Russians found the biggest, meanest Doberman and Rottweiler ------- in the world and bred them with the biggest meanest Siberian wolves. They selected only the biggest and strongest puppy from each litter, killed his siblings, and gave him all the milk. They used steroids and trainers and after five years came up with the biggest meanest dog the world had ever seen. Its cage needed steel bars that were three inches thick and nobody could get near it. When the day came for the fight, the Americans showed up with a strange animal. It was a nine-foot long Dachshund. Everyone felt sorry for the Americans because they knew there was no way that this dog could possibly last ten seconds with the Russian dog. When the cages were opened up, the Dachshund came out and wrapped itself around the outside of the ring. It had the Russian dog almost completely surrounded. When the Russian dog leaned over to bite the Dachshund's neck, the Dachshund reached out and consumed the Russian dog in one bite. There was nothing left at all of the Russian dog. The Russians came up to the Americans, shaking their heads in disbelief. `We don't understand how this could have happened. We had our best people working for five years with the meanest Doberman and Rottweiler ------- in the world and the biggest, meanest Siberian wolves." "That's nothing," an American replied. "We had our best plastic surgeons working for five years to make an alligator look like a Dachshund." ]]>

Funny thing is, some of you actually believe it. Even though Clinton did great things for this country and everyone prospered, you conservatives would rather have depression, bread lines, and Republicans.

What kind of sliding scale are we using here?? Using your standards, Keating 5 , what was McCain convicted of. Re Larry Craig, what was he convicted of. In one instance, no charges were ever brought.

Oh wait, even if you ARE convicted, sometimes it's still ok with them a la Cindy "I fight my Husband's battles now" McCain. ACORN is far from a "terrorist" organization as they'd have to use fear and killing of civilians to qualify. They have bad apples in their organization that try to register people to vote, and register some fictional characters too. They try to "steal elections" at the grassroots level, while Diebold and Republicans use a voter purge "top down" method. I see little difference.

<![CDATA[ The one on his web site is lacking a number of important print and embossing marks that come on OFFICIAL birth certificates, the kind that can be physically inspected, not just posted on a website, doh! ---- Obama's Birth Record Found in Kenya, Why Hawaii Birth Cert. Fake, Obama's First 10 Executive Orders Berg argues that Barack Obama was born in Kenya in 1961 to an American woman, Stanley Ann Dunham, and a Kenyan man, Barack Hussein Obama Senior, as reportedly shown by a birth certificate from Mombasa Maternity Hospital. According to the law at that time, a parent could pass US citizenship on to a child born abroad if the parent was at least 19 years old. Obama's mother was only 18. No hospital birth certificate has been produced to show Obama was born in Hawaii, only a certificate of birth registry after the fact, which forensics experts have denounced as a forgery. Moreover, when Obama was six years old his mother remarried and moved with her husband to his country, Indonesia. Records indicate Obama was naturalized as an Indonesian citizen. Indonesia does not allow dual nationality, so even had he been born in Hawaii, he would have lost his citizenship then. Even if Obama is able to provide a US birth certificate, a dozen more insurmountable scandals face this unelectable candidate, which the Republicans can hardly wait to unleash on him after he is nominated.
