Political Punch

I read the comments from both Sue and Rachel and I position myself with Rachel and agree with her 100%. Thanks for being so clear. I have some of my Republican friends suddenly liking to support Obama constantly saying “I can’t stand that woman” don’t know what she did to deserve. They say it is her staying with Bill after his affairs. I thought marriage is that sacred bond worth working for! Guess, I’m wrong.
For all those people that bash Hillary, I have not found one reason other than she is a Clinton. While, having Bill Richardson speak ill about Clintons on his behalf (about the dynasties running the White House), Obama conveniently forgot what political credentials all the ‘Kennedies’ bring to the table to support him. Wasn’t that a political dynasty?

Never in my lifetime I thought I would not vote for a democrat. Obama ‘changed’ that for me. I realize now, I take my right to vote too seriously to waste. Will I vote for McCain? Never! I’m more than positive that none of the Obama people would have come to vote for Hillary for the only reason she stayed married to a guy called Bill (suddenly a guy who is going down in the history as the one of the great political minds is becoming a the bad guy! That’s the Obama group’s doing. Actually this is the reason , and this is the divisiveness that Obama brought to the campaign that make me not like him. Those who can’t see this sly politician may like him) to get political clout! They can’t force me to vote for Obama either.

TrueAmerican, we are NOT losing the Battle of Afghanistan. The Taliban and al Qaeda have gotten a lot of news coverage with their recent incursions into Afghanistan. But that is because several of the countries under UN command will only allow their military to act as peacekeepers and will NOT allow them to fight. It makes winning the war more difficult, but we are winning the war none the less.

And yes I certainly do believe going into Iraq was the right thing to do. Saddam Hussein refused to comply with the conditions of the 1991 cease fire--conditions that he agreed to in toto at the time--for 12 years. That was long enough. So when Saddam Hussein failed to comply with President Bush's final ultimatum, President Bush rescinded the cease fire and resumed the war.

You can argue all you want about not finding WMDs, but that is IRRELEVANT. Saddam Hussein committed a material breach in the cease fire and we had every right to resume the war.

Eileen:
sweet darlin', I'm assuming that as you were able to post here that if you were so inclined you could browse yerself over to 'Barry's' website and do some reading about what he stands for and believes..and... re: "this is a very dangerous man". wow.. where have you been for the last 8 years?
Did you get your quota of Johnny McCain points for posting today, I hear they're giving out neato handbags.

Barry is a man for “all seasons” and “all people”. He says what he needs to say to the audience he happens to be speaking too.

When he addresses the right, the left assumes he is only saying that to get elected and then will put in the policies of the left.

When he addresses the left, the right assumes he is only saying that to get elected and then will put in the policies of the right. This way he never gets anyone mad at him enough to hold him accountable for his words.

Example: When speaking to the Jews, he said Jerusalem should remain their capital. When speaking, the next day to the Palestinians, he said there would have to be consideration for Jerusalem for both Jews and Palestinians.

Nobody knows who this man is and what he believes in. This is a very, very dangerous man. He is not running for President of the United States, he is running for ruler of the world. That is the reason for his overseas trip, he was trying to impress other citizens of other countries. But this is an American election and we, the American people, will select our own President in November and that will be President John McCain!

What "truth" is that? Stopping the war in Iraq? Nope. Stopping the war against Iran? Nope. Stopping FISA? Nope. Restoring the Constitution? Nope.

Maybe when people realize both parties are a bunch of liars, we can unite and bring real change, but as long as we have our budweiser and doritos and Dancing with the Stars, I think we'll always have false hope.

Lets have an intelligent debate people! Quit the insults,ok? On the one hand the choice is an incredibly articulate, caring , human being, Barack Obama. Try not to forget that he is an American, born in the good old U.S.A.People are treating this guy like he's from another country for God sake!He is a young husband, father, taxpayer, from a very humble beginning. He knows poverty, he has lived it! The U.S. constitution talks about equality and freedom for all , give him that at least! Questioning someones patriotism just because they haven't defended their country with a gun, or dropped bombs on thousands of innocent people to show your patriotism is just plain stupidity!!! On the other hand you have an old , tired political hack who's only claim to fame is that he was shot down and was in captivity. He the didn't do anything patriotic, Old history. But true. How does this give MCCain more credentials than Obama??? Give your heads a shake! The country is in trouble, leave the B.S.out and get serious. The time for silly season is over!

You have to feel sort of sad for McCain & Co. when Paris Hilton has a 'response ad' that kicks his butt.
Can't wait for the McCain 'Keating 5' scandal to get some air time as well as those major policy adjustments with Jerry Falwell, Bush tax cuts. It's amazing how when McCain changes his mind completely, it's a 'policy move' and when Obama adjusts his position it's a 'flip-flop'. Everyone should check out McCain and the Iran/Contra affair.

I used to like Mcain but not anymore. His negative ads have put me off. He now looks like a grumpy old guy. I never used to admire Obama believing he is all talk. Now I admire him; he inspires me and I think we should put faith in this bright guy.

He must fear everyone then since he does not have truth on his side!!

Marylou everyone is entitled to their own opinion but not their own facts.

I too resent Obama's attempts to buy votes. From his "no income tax for seniors earning less than $50,000" to his "$1,000 to every middle class taxpayer" he sure is using the bait to lure in Hillary supporters and Independents. There's no such thing as a free lunch and the simple truth is that there isn't enough money from the sources Obama intends to tap to pay for all of his handouts and promises. Once elected, he'll have to pare down his list of promises to his priorities which won't include middle class taxpayers or seniors.

Look it up, Sue. When Obama started running for U.S. Senate the Iraq War was popular. So he took his anti-war speech off his web site and uttered nary another disparaging word about the war. What would you call that? I could have called it flipflopping, but that word has been used (correctly) so many times to describe Obama that it's lost all meaning.

Obama is deceptive.

You can read it in his books and see it in his actions--past and present.

He says he is a different kind of politician. But we know he is up to his neck in dirty Chicago politics.

He says he transcends race, but uses the race card for sympathy.

It would almost be worth it for Obama to become president--because then his fall will be greater. But I love America and he may take us down with him.

"And of course, since being elected (running on a pro-Iraq platform) he's voted with the majority and done nothing to attempt to end the war."

Barack Obama ran on a pro-Iraq platform? That's funny. Oh, and you forgot to mention him being an empty suit. You can't be a loyal little McBushie without saying that.

Obama is buying votes now with his $1,000 gift per family. Sure everyone wants the money...but stop and think about this as it just means that prices at the pump will be adjusted to $10.00 a gallon to make up the difference. Most families will spend the refund on food, bills, rent and the have to face the huge fill ups forth-coming. Tell Obama he is done buying votes and to put AMERICA first.

Obama's truth is a the equivalent of fuzzy math. In 2002 he went to an anti-war rally and told a bunch of anti-war protestors what they wanted to hear - his famed Anti-War Speech that he hung his campaign on.

Since then he's not only admitted that he didn't have access to all of the intelligence our U.S. Senators and Congressmen based their votes on, but has said he's not sure how he himself would have voted.

And of course, since being elected (running on a pro-Iraq platform) he's voted with the majority and done nothing to attempt to end the war.

Obama is a fraud.

The McCan't attitude won't transform this country ... and neither will the cynicism he engenders. Positive attitudes and everyone's small steps settled the continent, won WWII, sent an American to the moon -- and, will make us energy independent. Do we really want the cynicism of McCan't to prevail? All the old man adolescent rebel offers is a taking away of hope by mocking the small steps that ordinary people can take. How crippling, how dysfunctional, how disturbed.

Obama is not perfect,
But Maccain?
No way.
Americans deserve better than that.

Sue, I didnt say Obama, I said Obama supporters, I cant go onto a blog lately without Obama supporters bemoaning the fact that Bill hasnt praised Obama enough, forget that fact Obama's own wife said that if Hillary won she wasnt sure that she would support her. Why is bill different? Yes I guess we see things differently that is the biggest problem. I truely beleive that Obama supporters could careless if she gets help paying off that debit but will cry foul if she is not out supporting Obama, which she will be starting friday. I understand that it is Hillary's debit but family is suppose to help each other out right? I am 33 year african american female and have voted for a democrat every since I could vote( the only democrat I voted for that won was Bill) but at this moment the only thing I can say is that I am not voting for McCain, that doesnt mean I am voting for Obama. I may change my mind by Nov. At this point I am truly not sure. I have never been more uspet by an election than I have at this point. I cant understand why Ron Paul a republican who hold his own convention can be hailed a hero and his supporters get respect and hardly no pressure from RNC, where Hillary supporters get called hateful names because they show support. I am not a delusional Hillary supporter I am just a supporter. In a decison that is hers alone she didnot sign papers to have her name be on the roll call for the convention and she still gets no respect. I am not sure what it will take to get past the stalemate.

Reparations:

Obama says an apology would be appropriate but not particularly helpful in improving the lives of black Americans. Reparations could also be a distraction, he said.

In a 2004 questionnaire, he told the NAACP, "I fear that reparations would be an excuse for some to say, 'We've paid our debt,' and to avoid the much harder work."

Rachel,

Excuse me, I mean presumptive nomination and presumtive nominee.

Rachel,

As far as I am aware Obama and Bill Clinton have spoken only once since he received the nomination. Where do you see Senator Obama demanding that Bill Clinton speak for him? We are obviously speaking from 2 deep divides on the Democratic fence. I mean I am assuming you are still intending to vote as a Democrat. From what I see from where I sit my arse, they are at a stalemate. The Clintons are thinking Obama has not done enough to help with the debt, and Obama is wondering what kind of an asset President Clinton could possibly be with a chip on his shoulder. We just see things differently.

Staniam, but Obama now says that an apology and reprations for slavery are not needed(dont want to scare white people. He talks out of both sides of his mouth so much

Sue its really easy for Obama supporters to claim oh I would have voted for hillary had she won. I don't beleive it one bit!!! There would have been all sorts of alligations beign thrown around. Also if you believe for one mintue that Obama would have not tried to position himself as vp had he lost and came in second place I think you are mistaken. He is a typical politican, he had his lawyers challenge all of alice plamer;s signatures in her bid to get on the state sentate ballot in Illnois, and he had his lawyers blocking a revote effort for florida and michigan. 10-1 he would have had his lawyers fighting for him the 2nd spot on the ballot. Again I say what are the Obama supporters beef you can make everyone love Obama he won and he and his supporters obviously feel he can do it without them. Al gore is the one distanced himself from Bill because of scandel just like McCain wanted to distance himself from Bush, and it cost Al the election well that and a little electin fraud. While you may be sick of the Clinton supporters demanding things from Obama, I am sick of Obama supporters who for months told bill, hillary to shut up now demand they go out and speech highly of Obama.

"you need to just deal with the fact that Obama cant win without the Clintons and Hillary as VP"

I did not say I am sick of the Clintons -- I am sick of the Clinton supporters. There is a big difference. I guess the worse is the constant threats, like you can't do this without us supporters, etc. Really? You want to take your ball and go home and be damned to the Supreme Court? And to be honest, that PUMA stuff is lame. As for the Clintons themselves, I think the feeling that you supporters are trying to force Obama supporters to try to help pay off her Mark Penn debt is lame. And I think Bill Clinton's refusal to say that Obama is credible says more about Bill Clinton (so many memories that raises of how he treated Al Gore) than it says about Senator Obama. However, if the shoe had been on the other foot, I would have voted for Hillary -- I would not have demanded that Hillary select Barack as her VP because they do not fit each other, they do not suit each other's brand.

Sue, I am sick to death of most Obama supporters. I mean they constantly bash Hillary, say she's not helping Obama when in fact she has appeared with him more than any of the other democratic nomniees. I dont recall any other number 2 person beign forced to help the winner. I don't get the Obama supporters your guy won and you all think he can win without clinton supporters so why so angry because some clinton supporters don't support him? I bet if Clinton had won all the Obama supporters would still be having fits. Bill doesnt have to help Obama 10 to 1 Obama doesnt even want his help. Hillary will be out to support Obama friday in Nevada(lord knows why he hasn't really tried to help her).

I am sick to death of Clinton supporters. They should have their voter registration cards taken away for being self-destructive, ruinous idiots that deserve McCain and Karl Rove, and they should have the Republican brand stamped on their foreheads for all to see.

re: Martin's comments: "
'Obama's far left leaning policies'

such as?

Senator Obama far left leaning and socialic poliies have definitely hurt the Democratic Party. Many democrats have changed to independent status and are thoroughly disgusted with Obama, the DNC and both domestic and foreign current policies. Many Clinton supporters have not been won over to Obama's side.

barbara Tate

You are in no position to make demands or suggestions of Demands to the Clintons by the Obama campaign... Obama will lose without Clinton its simple math and you know it hes sinking fast the enthusiasm is still there but like I said in the primaries you dont want a rock star or someone your kid told you to vote for you want someone that can be effective so you will be happy with Hillary as VP and we can win the election its not a time for people in their 40s or whatever to wake up from a stuper and start voting for a candidate that their kids told them that they had to do thats crazy

I love the comment by one of the responders that Obama has besmirched the good Democratic name. Holy cow! I thought Bill Clinton did that back in the 90's when he had his fling with Monica. And it seems that he is now trying to see to it that Obama loses this election. Well, I can guarantee that if he doesn't get over his mad fit over Hillary losing, she will never get this party's nomination. She will lose even bigger if the Clintons try to sabotage Obama's campaign. The whole party leadership will turn against her big time.

I think not not just anyone can run for president.... you have to have an ego! That being said,Obama has to get over his hardcore supporters crying that he has moved to the center and he should seal the election by pickign Hillary Clinton.... because Like PRESIDENT Clinton said the only qualifications for President are being 35 and a natural born us citizen but running for president or even being VP for 8 yrs doesnt prepare you for the job! Bill Clinton is stil the smartest guy in the room.. lets pick Hillary and get this show over with!

"Sounds like Obama was on fire today!"
shouts Bill. He was. A smouldering
Kool butt in his pants pocket.......
Air in your tires is great/smoking can
kill you.

That's pretty funny coming from someone who wouldn't know the truth if it smacked him in the face.

Yeah, like the "truth" that Obama sat in Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years and just had no idea where he really stood on things. Barak Obama is a consummate poseur and this is the truth that, God willing, will be fully revealed by election day.

TG:
"Do you think Mccain can be successful in 10 town hall debates"
________________
Yes, I do....

Of course, Obama's sliced them down to three..... the less for him to have remember... but if he plays it fair and square, I think McCain will be terrific.

Do you think Mccain can be successful in 10 town hall debates. I'm in doubt even one. Because, with out reading the script it will be hard for him to analyze the current economic situation. regarding war in Iraq. No one can claim to be a winner or a loserat this time. We won that war during Sadam Hussein with in a few days. That was a real victory. After that we stayed there as a peace keeper. We can leave any time with out shame.

It's really amazing that the Republicans like to ally themselves with outright stupidity, willful ignorance in the face of facts that are easy to check. It is no mere coincidence that the supporters of "intelligent design' and the 'creationist museum' are evangelical Republicans.
I wonder if McCain is able to string along multiple sentences with accurate information without sneering and laughing at his own jokes, and, without the trailing Graham & Lieberman to correct him? I also wonder what McCain will say when all the truth is revealed about how the Iraq war really started?
Give me more videos of McCain and Bush hugging and kissing!

Mr. Obama, who has faced being shot by numerous cameras to show his "courage", was led by a person in the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance - now that's leadership. Clearly Mr. Obama is a self-Truther like other self- serving narcissicists - a worthy successor to Bill Clinton who exceeds even his self-aggrandizement.

The consequential cost of the Iraq and Afghani War is now estimated at somewhere above 2.4 Trillion Dollars.

And the fact that the war is funded by "emergency appropriations" means that the costs have not yet been factored into the national debt, which Bush has raised from $6 trillion to $10 trillion during his incompetent and corrupt administration.

Too funny. He talks about having the facts on his side, then says there would be a trillion more dollars to spend locally if not for the Iraq war. Um, yeah, FALSE! First off I don't think the total cost is at a trillion so there is a lie right there. Secondly, the war in Iraq is not funded through the budget process, its funded through emergency appropriations. Once the war goes so goes the money so not going to war does not equate to more money in the government's budget.
So yeah Barry keep talking about "facts" because you look dumber every time!

Not only do we have a choice between McCain and the fraud NObama, we ahve a 3rd choice. Nader/Gonzalez.
The press does not want you to hear about Nader but he secured his name on the ballot in Michigan today. Saturday, he was selected as the Peace and Freedom candidate in California.
He is almost at 10% nationally and that means he will be in the debates.
Everyone knows the NObama stutters so he does not want to debate someone as intelligent and experienced as Ralph Nader and Matt Gonzalez.
We will all get to hear duh duh duh over and over..
Once the media blackout is over, Ralph will win this campaign and NObama will be but a bad dream

"...define victory in Iraq."

Ask McCain. He was clear that victory is a stable self-sustaining democracy in the heart of the Arab middle east.

Is that a bad outcome or do you believe no such outcome is possible?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ask the British, who tried to democratize Mesopotamia. They could give you an earful on how successful that venture turned out to be.

I believe that some people are completely forgetting the reason that it is so important to beat McCain.
Do you want to continue to worry about your job, and foreclosure on your house? Do you think about being without health insurance? Consider the never ending war, the disrespect of our allies, the high gasoline prices, and the $4.00 cost of milk. Cereal is a luxury now. The humongous deficit,and joining many vets that are living under bridges because they are homeless. THINK how it would be to be homeless.There are entire families that are homeless now and through no fault of their own.
Don't be fooled because gas prices are coming down. Big oil has profited at the disgraceful tune of $1,500 a second . Yes, that's right.With election coming, they may start dropping prices temporarily.
Give Obama a chance. I believe him to be sincere and ambitious to get our country back as it was when Bush took over.

i would love to know thw truth about his birth certificate. that will probably blow this whole thing up.

Based on the recently published book by Ron Suskind entitled, "The Way of the World", key documents that connected Atta with Saddam Hussein's government were forged by the CIA at the orders of the White House. Again, Obama is right and McCain is dead wrong. The war was illegal. If I were a young Marine (I am a former Navy Corpsman) I would be furious.

Obama does not cower? Does not BULLY?
Who are they thinking of? The NObama we see is a divisive arrogant fraud and a BULLY
We want NADER/GONZALEZ 2008

You know, despite the fact that if we had followed my recommendation not to go into the war in Iraq we would have about an extra trillion dollars to rebuild our economy, we would have been on the path of energy independence, we would have finished the job in Afghanistan and gone after al Qaeda. -----------------------------------------

Of course the US Senate always listens to an Illinois state Senator.. He is an idiot.

"...define victory in Iraq."

Ask McCain. He was clear that victory is a stable self-sustaining democracy in the heart of the Arab middle east.

Is that a bad outcome or do you believe no such outcome is possible?

Sally J, before you ask Obama if he wants to "win in Iraq", define victory in Iraq.

I just did a search on - truth likes Obama.

About the only thing that came up was Bill O'Reilly.

Say what??

Has anyone asked Obama if he's still driving his Chrysler 300C Hemi?

The more barack talks the more he does sound like the head of some religous cult group. Where are the blogs on the other people running for president, I dont think barack or mccain should be president.

I must admit, the more I hear Obama speak, the more I like him. Anything at this point is better than anything "McBush" can do for us.

The Obama campaign must have a dozen or so paid campaign workers named truth.
LOL

Woman over 60 , they're is no " war in Iraq " it's an occupation .

Obama will unite us. He will make us one. He is the one.

I appreciate his working relationship with Pelosi, Reid, Hoyer, Dean, Brazile, et al.

And, I will always remember his principled stand on such issues as FISA immunity, funding faith based initiatives, equivocation on marriage rights, duplicity on reproductive rights, capital punishment support, class action fairness, business as usual on healthcare issues, abandonment of campaign and election financing reform, ..., call to tap oil reserves and drill off-shore.

Kurt, if you think that McCain is calm, steady, experienced and reliable, then Rove and his buddies are doing their job well.

You should talk to a few (Republican) senators who really know him. They shudder at the thought of his being Commander in Chief because of his well known temper tantrums.

Reliable? Reliable at what? He changes his tune with the breeze. EVen the ladies who work here in Idaho in the quilt shop see him as pandering like crazy to the GOP. THey'd have voted for him 8 years ago, they told me. But not now, he's changed too much.

You realize, of course, that after he started touting off shore drilling, the oil companies contributed over $1,000,000 to his campaign, just in July.

Would some reporter please ask Obama this question:
Do you want the U.S. to win the war in Iraq?

Well, I guess that means he is afraid of McCain.

If Obama was on fire today, it is because he is in deep in too hot water where he put himself with his own foolishness. His energy plan is full of holes and misinformation.

Oh Please--a Chicago politician with truth on his side? --with Soros backing to boot???

I'm from Chicago--no one can convince me of Obamas "purity" and "above Washington politics" act!

If Obama is old news, McCain is prehistoric. No wonder he is accused of so many gaffes. No one has found his Rosetta stone.

Jake,

You need to get PARIS HILTON RESPONSE AD to MacCain. Very funny and quite smart, I would say.

Obama responded to McCain's ridiculous "10 town halls" proposal, which included dates on July 4 (when nobody is home)and left no time for campaigning, with his own reasonable proposal of 3 town halls. Obama's still waiting for an answer. I'll give McCain the benefit of the doubt and assume Barack sent his counter-proposal to the wrong address -- after all, it's hard to keep track of McCain's 11 homes. Jake, why not ask the McCain camp what they're afraid of?

Sounds like Barack was on fire today!

Further evidence the US is going socialist, since the pledge was written by one.

I, too, have much respect for Sen. McCain's sacrifice during the Vietnam War.
But that was 38 years ago. A lot can obviously change in 38 years.
In fact, it appeared to have changed a lot by 2000, when he allowed GW Bush & Co. to shamelessly smear him during the GOP primary. He appears only to have gone downhill since then.
He may have been fit to lead once. Not anymore.

After looking at the latest info on 14 polls, Obama is ahead in 8 and McCain in 6. But when average, Obama is less than two points ahead--which means they are in a dead heat.
Also 68% of people polled felt Obama was wrong in not debating in town hall meetings.

"This is just another reason to elect Senator Obama. He does not cower; AND he does not bully. T

Posted by: Kim | Aug 5, 2008 5:36:55 PM

Then, let me get this straight, exactly who are you calling a coward and a bully?

So, Obama must fear a lot of men then, considering how rarely he has the truth on his side!

Obama wears a "flag pin", say's "the pledge", reconsiders his stance on "offshore drilling" softens his position on "Iraq".....maybe he is just a politician after all...just inexperienced.

bombem: I was responding to another poster who insulted McCain by saying he couldn't remember the Pledge of Allegiance. I responded by saying McCain "lived" the pledge in Vietnam. So I think you misread my post. I have the greatest respect for McCain's sacrifice.

Bush and Cheney endorse McSame for president.

Posted by: KenHussein

Better than Bill Clinton refusing to endorse the phony jacket.

First, it was Sen. Obama who refused John McCain's challenge to a series of town hall meetings.

Second, which "truth" is on Obama's side? The one where followed John McCain's lead on a response to climate change? The one where he again followed John McCain's lead on off-shore drilling? Or where it really was Sen. Obama who voted for those Big Oil tax breaks when Sen. McCain voted against them?

Be careful what you ask for Sen. Obama, the truth can be a scary thing.

Ralph you wrote: "There's more oil in the reserves than reported? The wounded veterans'complaints are dislusional? The GOP has a way to stop global warming ONLY if they're elected in office? The GOP has a concrete plan for immigration reform to be revealed November 5th? The HIV/AIDS epidemic is a figment of the Americans' imagination? 100% of lost homes through foreclosure will be recovered? The 2% of upper income will buy health insurance policies for ALL Americans? Jobs will be created and available for ALL after November 5th?"

I have not heard or seen a single one of these statements or promises made by any Republican. Nor are they part of the Republican Platform. Please provide sources for your claim.

The 'Keating 5' were on McSame's side. President Bush and Cheney endorse McSame for president.

TrueAmerican, we are NOT losing the Battle of Afghanistan. The Taliban and al Qaeda have gotten a lot of news coverage with their recent incursions into Afghanistan. But that is because several of the countries under UN command will only allow their military to act as peacekeepers and will NOT allow them to fight. It makes winning the war more difficult, but we are winning the war none the less.

And yes I certainly do believe going into Iraq was the right thing to do. Saddam Hussein refused to comply with the conditions of the 1991 cease fire--conditions that he agreed to in toto at the time--for 12 years. That was long enough. So when Saddam Hussein failed to comply with President Bush's final ultimatum, President Bush rescinded the cease fire and resumed the war.

You can argue all you want about not finding WMDs, but that is IRRELEVANT. Saddam Hussein committed a material breach in the cease fire and we had every right to resume the war.

The GOP has to LIE to this country in order to get support. What's next?

There's more oil in the reserves than reported? The wounded veterans'complaints are dislusional? The GOP has a way to stop global warming ONLY if they're elected in office? The GOP has a concrete plan for immigration reform to be revealed November 5th? The HIV/AIDS epidemic is a figment of the Americans' imagination? 100% of lost homes through foreclosure will be recovered? The 2% of upper income will buy health insurance policies for ALL Americans? Jobs will be created and available for ALL after November 5th?

The sad thing is ----- the GOP has tried this through brainwashing the comfortable.

Try speaking the TRUTHS because Americans are definitely paying attention to LIES ----- THIS TIME.

The polarization in our Country is self-evident on this blog. Few bother to be just basically polite, much less civil.

Disagree with me until the cows come home; I appreciate thoughtful debate. Yet, the debate will soon degenerate into a barroom brawl if the disagreement proceeds with insults, vitriol and ad hominem.

Remember that we are all Americans and this Country belongs to all of us, not simply those with whom you agree.

This is just another reason to elect Senator Obama. He does not cower; AND he does not bully. T

Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright were all truths on Obama's side.

Vanessa -

Whatever. I can see, but you are just a blind supporter. Shall I trust your fuzzy math?
