Shot Through the Heart

Rock Star's don't make you win the election. They are just a big show and this band has been around a long time. Of course Obama likes rock bands because they have been known to be on drugs. And most of them can't sing. They need the backup to cover it up. Bruce Springsteen never could sing but this generation don't know the difference.

scaredtodeath: I think you got that all wrong. Cindy was not a heavy drinker, but I do know that Obama was along with his drug habit. Cindy's problem was she was addicted to painkillers, not cocaine. People that are in pain can be addicted to painkillers because the pain is severe. But a person on cocaine can become an addict for years. Obama started his habit at age 17 and was an addict for a long period of time.

Who cares how many homes McCain has. What has that got to do with the election. And maybe he didn't want to state how many he had. Its no one's business and people shouldn't ask. McCain is campaigning to become president not a real estate broker. And most of those rock stars are on drugs and booze like Obama was in his younger days. They live a wild life and this band is known for that. Plus the Palin-Biden debate is going to attract millions of viewers and Palin will give Biden a run for his money. She is a good match for both Obama and Biden and McCain made the right choice. They are drawing crowds now that McCain did no do before. He has a good chance of winning this election. And the women in Florida are boycotting Oprah which is good for Palin.

Jake, it isn't a bad joke it was just something that doesn't make any sense at all? I mean is it some inside joke or something?

If you inherited lots of fortunes from your parents, it's none of anybody's business how you'd spend it.
Cindy adopted her daughter from an orphanage in Bangladesh. The girl was sick at that time .
This girl survived because of her.

Cindy didn't become rich from stealing tax payers money. It is hers. I think if your parents left you money like that you wouldn't not be complaining either so stop the jealousy.

How come no one questions Obama's 3,000 dollar shoes?????

How many homes do Y O U own?

How much do you earn per hour?

What kind of drugs do you have in your
medicine cabinet?

How much do you contribute monthly to Obama?

None of this is my business... just as none of your comments about Cindy McCain are any of yours.

She is a woman who has given a lot of time and a lot of her money to help children with birth defects.

The money she inherited from her father allows her to do this but she does not HAVE to.

She adopted her daughter Bridget and has given/is providing her with a life filled with hope and possibilities.

She has done the same for other children as well.

The money she spends on her clothes keeps dress designers and store keepers and fabric manufacturers and seamstresses in business.

Same goes for the houses.

She takes NOTHING from you.

Obama says you're supposed to refrain from Dissing the wives and families of candidates.

I guess he only meant it in behalf of Michele!

But it seems a bit hypocritical to me with all the talk of selling planes on ebay and ousting personal cooks, for you on the other hand to walk on dirt with $500 shoes and not being able to keep track of how many houses you own. Dontchya think.

YES. I DO think!

And you are mixing apples with avacados!

The sale of the plane and the excising the cook from the Governor's staff was to save the state money.

It had nothing to do with personal gain or, indeed, personal worth.

That type of information should be duly noted for the public record.

However,the use of one's own money for expensive shoes is nobody's business but your own !Nor is it any of your business when there are situations wherein either because of genetic reasons or inflicted injury there might be a very real need for specially lasted shoes.

But the showering of outrageous quantities of money on publicity and not-necessarily fair play...... should, in my opinion by limited if by nothing else then certainly by as candidate's sense of propriety.

Obama has outspent every other candidate in this year's elections, and Axelrod has done an excellent job of runnign his campaign! Yet dollar per dollar, I don't think he has gotten his money's worth!

Perhaps, that's because he's not worth all those dollars!

People here always bring up the second wife of McCain....These are the same people that are probably cheating on their own spouses.

The joke doesn't make any sense.I think Jake needs to get some rest -his comment about McCain hating obama was offensive and mean. Jake was venturing into Olbermann territory with that crack.

Let's talk about the second wife, Cindy, who he applied for a marriage license with before he even divorced his first poor disabled wife that waited for him while he was a POW. Cindy, you know the one that stole prescription drugs from the NGO she was helping and blamed it on the doctor and what about the Keating 5? But, let's talk about Cindy's $300,000 outfit that she wore to the convention, the first night that she spoke when she was with Laura Bush, although I think Cindy spoke every night. That was probably put on her American Express with the other charges that came to $750,000 for one month and her daughter's charges of $50,000 for one month. Talk about being out of touch. How many homes to you own?

Like Freud said, "there are no jokes." The phoniness of liberal celebrities is utterly interchangeable. Bon Halen... Van Jovi... same person, really.

Bon Jovi, Van Halen, who can tell them apart? Remember, Jake, as Sarah Palin's motto goes, "You're a loaded gun./There's nowhere to run./No one can save me;/The damage is done./Shot through the heart/And you're to blame....I play my part and you play your game...."

$30,800/person...
What do they give you in return?

questioner,

I agree it is selfish to purchase a hair cut for $400, I also don't know what it took to build that stage in that football stadium for the democrats, but if indeed the DNC and Obama decided to splurge beyond the usual money splurge dedicated to political conventions on that setup then I'm not in agreement with that either.

But it seems a bit hypocritical to me with all the talk of selling planes on ebay and ousting personal cooks, for you on the other hand to walk on dirt with $500 shoes and not being able to keep track of how many houses you own. Dontchya think?

More encouraging economic news from Bush/McSame. Unemployment reached a five year high last month as 84,000 Americans lost their jobs. 9.2% of Americans are either making late mortgage payments or are in foreclosure.

Let's talk some more about styrofoam pillars.

Perhaps $500 dollar dress shoes might ring...

And what about a $400.00 hair cut for a
M A N?

Actually, if I had the money to spend foolishly..... it would be nobody's business but mine.

I do find it offensive, however, when a politician is comfortable spending millions of dollars "donated" by supporters who are way less than wealthy... to show off his big ears and ego in the biggest, gaudiest arena he can find!

Obamabots funded Obama's extravaganza last week - 6 MILLION DOLLAR styrofoam columns and doors at Invesco Field - while many Americans are scrambling to afford milk and bread.
No - Obama doesn't get it!

I agree with the above!

This was the first year I sat (in front of a TV) and watched the Republican convention.

I didn't understand the silly hats, but I DID understand the support McCain has come up with not only from his many friends and compadres, but also from outside the Republican clan.

And I was impressed by the enthusiasm which and (most of )the speeches which rang out in his behalf; They were not just words,,, empty words; they were incident specific and goal oriented and worth listening to.

In all, I was surprised at the excitement generated by what I thought was the party of old men ;-).

I was wrong!

So tell me please.

How much did THIS convention cost as compared to Obama's last week?

...a bell.
