Re: No mention of broken campaign finance pledge
It's totally possible! I make less than 40K a year, and I have donated between 15$ and 25$ dollars when I could - for a total of a little over 100$. The way I see it, I could go to the movies (10$ min for ticket, 20$ if I go with my husband, easily 40$ if we get popcorn or anything) OR I could contribute to the campaign of a person I really ...

Bloodthirsty mobs.
Given this recent article, I would love to see what Mr. Dickerson has to say about the video showing recent rally attendees at a Strongsville, Ohio McCain event.

I felt more anguish at being reminded by Joe Biden that so many of our politicians who know better still find it too politcally risky ...

The main benefit of this new hurricane in the New Orleans, Louisiana area, if you can in any way couch this natural disaster redux in such terms, is that President Bush and the current Republican White House and Administration get to improve their performance. Already, Bush is on the ground and in charge. Our President has appeared on my ...

Hillary Supporters=Closet Republicans
In my, albeit inexpert, opinion these so-called Hillary supporters are no more than Republicans who wanted to vot against Obama. I wonder, if your ask them for whom they voted for president in the last few elections, who would it be. Most likely Republicans.

U Have to Break GOPeggs to make an Omelette
Obama was never going to be able to keep this election 'clean'. With Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, Beck, with Rove and Buchanan and a host of bloodsucking GOP operatives running loose, the innocent little ones are just not safe. And any man knows, if you want to keep the kids safe, you have to make your presence felt, either by making a lesson ...

Surveys of journalists’ self-reported voting habits show them backing the Democratic candidate in every presidential election since 1964, including landslide losers George McGovern, Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis.

Liberal Media Lies
Political logic augurs a Democratic triumph in looming US elections but Barack Obama’s White House duel with John McCain is still a statistical tie, prompting some to wonder why he is yet to break away. Political logic augurs a democratic triumph? Augur: To predict, especially from signs or omens; foretell. What signs or omens are they looking ...

Re: Put Obama on the spot with his lies-Part 2
Obama misleads and LIES on Oil Profits Speaking to a town hall meeting on July 31, 2008. Barack Obama tries to slant the money made by the oil industry as being bad. What he once again neglected, ignored, chose not to mention on purpose is the record amount of money the United States Government has raked in from Exxon. Once again the politicians ...
