Comments: "The Day (sic) John McCain lost the election."
''At a time when the Bush administration was nationalizing big portions of the (grateful) financial services sector, charges that Obama was a socialist, the redistributor-in-chief, the second coming of Eugene V.

Election 2008
Against the backdrop of the worst economy since the Great Depression, and with the electorate polarized as never before, Mr. McCain cannot hope to win by tilting primarily towards conservative hot-button issues. This election is likely to be decided by relatively moderate and independent voters, and their top three concerns are, in descending ...

How does a democrat tick?
Democrats are into politics for the sole purpose of obscuring the definition of morality, and passing subsequent laws that make morality illegal in the United States. Democrats want all lights to be green and let everyone fend for themselves at the intersections. Because of the irresponsible and inconsiderate lifestyle of this misrepresentation ...

The Big Bailout...Ha!
There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently?

The hero???
McCain has turned into a hate filled man that doesn't have anything to bring to any discussion. I think the lipstick joke was on Sarah and destroyed her as a serious VP pick. His constant use of lies gets to be a little boring after a while. This week they have tried to bring up that Rezko and the guy that set off some bombs back in the 60's but ...

How many trillion will that take? And, just how fraudulent will it play out? Maybe Bush can start a new war with Russia, or, Iran.

An Unfamiliar Hand
Obama would be better served if the country were in better shape and not teetering toward economic crisis. There is so much unknown about him and his policies so vague and undefined, but still tinged with an almost socialist brand of liberalism, that he seems a far riskier choice than the steady hand of McCain. Worse for Obama he is associated ...

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 ...

Obama "Talk the Talk...but can he Walk the Walk" Part 2
Obama “Talk the Talk… but can he Walk the Walk” Part 2 In 1999, Barack Obama was faced with a difficult vote in the Illinois legislature — to support a bill that would let some juveniles be tried as adults, a position that risked drawing fire from African-Americans, or to oppose it, possibly undermining his image as a tough-on-crime moderate. ...
