Benefiting from Govt Healthcare While Opposing It
Think of John McCain. He is 3rd generation military; his son is 4th generation. So, 4 generations (so far) of McCains and their ancestors who never, ever had to worry about receiving healthcare (except for when John was imprisoned in Vietnam) or paying for healthcare. It is the height of hypocrisy and selfishness for Sen. McCain to oppose ...

Re: basis for 'spreading the wealth/socialism' attacks?
McCain was a socialist before he was a...whatever he is now. Watch him defend the progressive tax system in 2000 in almost exactly the same words Obama used with Joe the plumber. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2JPbQOHEkY

Thank You Mr. Hitchens!
More great news for the Obama Campaign. Phil Gramm is now named one of the 10 Most Wanted Culprits of the Financial Collapse by CNN, 10/13/08! Holy Smoke! Talk about bad associations for the McCain/Palin Campaign, I am thrilled. Not only have they sown the seeds of racist hate, but there is now a direct link to the actual demise of our ...

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 ...

Meghan McCain shows her father's hypocrisy
Apparantly Meghan McCain didn't get the outrage memo because she doesn't think Obama was sexist. John McCain's daughter Meghan is not taking offense to Barack Obama's ''lipstick on a pig'' line like the rest of her father's campaign, pointing out Wednesday morning that GOP presidential nominee has been known to use the phrase. ''I've heard my ...

Noah's double standard; skinny= racist; wrinkly & scarred=OK
This article is so patently absurd, it's barely worth responding, but I'm compelled to point out the blatant hypocrisy of Slate for printing this joke because even insinuating Chozick is racist is a very serious accusation. In this article, Noah claims that because race is so intertwined with his appearance, calling any attention to appearances ...

Obama can "Talk the Talk... but can he Walk the Walk?"
When it comes to speeches and motivating those poor neglected ignorant Democrats... Obama is the King!! Throughout the campaing, he has change position on issues several times and more so than McCain. This new position now about off shore drilling is one of his latest flip ups and is all because the polls stated that the majority of American ...
