What the dems need to be talking about
Mr. McCain says the reason he is running negative and false ads is that he did not get the debates he wants and the trip to Iraq with Senator Obama that he wants. That puts him in the same group with 2 year olds. Do you want a two year old to be president? It also says this is the way he is going to be with congress if he does get elected. That ...

Wow- just a little slanted? Palin terrific reform alternati
This must be the well-balanced part; half arguing why Obama, and the other half why not McCain. So- McCain claiming that Palin is qualified to sit in reserve now means that Obama is also qualified? Why doesn't it work that while, yes- Obama selected a more experienced running mate, that was because he needed to; McCain was able to fill other ...

Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias
How the Media Vote. 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.

Put Obama on the spot with his lies-Part 2

Obama's Nobel Prize-McCain Stole the Election
Isn’t interesting how all the major TV and cable networks (except balanced FOX), along with all of Hollywood (except Chuck Norris), the entire music industry (except country) all of academia (except economists) and all European Nations (including Canada ;-) are pushing for Obama and the polls are still close?!

Webb Crawler and the New Messiah
Senator Webb would bring gravitas to a very light ticket, but much of the weight would be, as is said in avionics, drag. As noted, Webb has left a long trail, both in writing and action. The presumptive Democratic nominee, Mr. Obama, likes to bill himself as a uniter, someone who can reach across the other side of the aisle (though his very brief ...
