Anna, There have been a lot more lies told about Obama than about all the Republican candidates that ran for the nomination combined. Even McCain keeps telling lies about him. The right can't win the battle of ideas, so the smear the names of true war hero's like Max Cleland, and John Kerry. Personally I think we (the progressives) fight fire with water, ie: lies with truth

it is a good thing that cindy didnt try snorting the powder

Andrew,

Can you please elaborate on what you believe is the battle of ideas? Mine are pretty simple - Christian values - Pro-Life, Less Government, Strong Military (Freedom isn't Free), and Capitalism.

What are your views? Truth? I can't think of anything more true than faith.

The names are Barack Obama and John McCain. I'm sick of the extremists on the right and the left constantly belittling our candidates. If you don't like America leave. If you don't like McCain vote for Obama and if you don't like Obama vote for McCain. When you'll call Obama Osama you denigrate America. Why'll most of the sick people are on the extreme right this election, they employ the same end justifies the means as the extreme left does. We in the middle need to demand civility in this country and stop the denigration of America in this election.

Incoming mail is fully scrutinized. Outgoing isn't to the same degree.

you guys are all so intelligent, i love comments on articles. Someone mentioned something about an osama though, did he have the evidence linking him to 911? cause i'm still waiting for that...
And speaking of anthrax letters its such a coincidence that guy who was the sole individual responsible for the antrahx letters committed suicide. no loose ends! america f*ckyah!

So, I guess the Republicans are not
dignified enough to apologize to the
democrats, accussing them in
creating this "Terrorism".

I am an independent voter and like to look at the candidates ideas in a civilized manner.

It strikes me that these comments from our left leaning posters are quite low on logic and reasoning.

Is there something about being a liberal that reduces IQ?

Steve, Pro Life yet you will execute people. We all have family values. I love my family even if some of them are gay. This myth that less government is better is just that. Look how well FEMA ran under Clinton. Even as bad as they responded to Katrina, the Gov. still did some good. Government is more than protecting your right to bear arms. What we are operating on right now is predatory capitalism. Some of that thanks to Clinton (deregulation). We need to operate under capitalism. I was in the military unlike most Republicans. Freedom isn't free, but also those who give up liberties for security deserve neither. B. Franklin
As for Christian values. Those are mostly not practiced by Christians today. Torturing your enemies is not Christian. Oh, and Steve show me besides the bible where Jesus Christ is mentioned. There is no historical record of Jesus Christ. Thats what makes this country so great. I don't have to believe in Jesus Christ as the savior. A lot of the founding father didn't. They were Dieist.

WOW! What a brilliant crook! Think that he went to the University of DUMB!

HELLO :

I am BarackOsamaDotNet and How Dare YOU denigrate my friend ObamaOsamaDotCom ... I guess 'Libs' don't understabd that Freedom of Speech IS Just That ... FREE (and paid-for by the blood of our military) !!
And, for now, I can share my viewpoints the same as you (unless the 'Libs' win the WhiteHouse) !

And WHY is it that BarackO and TigerW, both half-black, try to play-up their blackness ... could it be that they are ashamed of their OTHER-Half and trying to play the 'race-card' with US !!!

You know, I am READY for a Black AMERICAN to become president, just not that liar Barack ... I would prefer Rev. Wright, because AT LEAST he speaks the TRUTH about how he feels, as wrong as it is !!!!

Say What You WANT, But THE Truth WILL Come Out ... You'll SEE Barack EXPOSED for who he REALLY Is at

MCCAIN DOES NOT SPEAK FOR THE CAMPAIGN -Any questions

Debra, Cindy McCain was a drug addict. That comment could have some truth to it.

Anna, almost everything that I posted is on the record. Since you didn't question any specifics, you must be a typical Republican who wants to paint your guy as a saint while hurling every innuendo imaginable at your opponent. If you aren't aware of any of the specifics of my post, let me know I'll try to give you an education. Search for Viet Nam vets against McCain; it's a good start.

Yawn. Look at the stupid humans argue over petty nuances. I shall make money selling both sides supplies for the silly wars that I instigate, then I will buy out their leaders. In the mean time I'm enjoying sexual gratification from all your religious gods and spiritual charlatans.

The maturity on this forum is seriously lacking. Many of you need to stick to the topic at hand and keep the childish comments to yourselves.

As far as the letters/package goes, it is glad to hear that the people were not in danger and the source of the packages have been identified.

Mike's problem is that drinking that Republican kool-aid causes a second childhood. He can't debate with reasonable thought or facts, so he hurls insults as he did in the fourth grade. He imagines that somehow that makes him appear tough when actually it just makes him appear like someone who has no self control, like his bellicose hero, John McNasty, as he was called in high school. Ol John has so little self control that he once called his second wife the "C" word in public. He's also threatened other Senators and foreign dignitaries when they didn't say what he thought they should say. Having him as President could have us in a couple of more wars fast. He's joked about bombing Iran, and was ready to go to the next level against Russia recently and he's not even the decider. God help us if he does get a third Bush term. He's even worse.

Vote for McCain if you want to criminalize abortion, love war, and want to help big energy gain total control over our future. McCain has a long history of aiding big energy. Once he even had Native Americans evicted from their reservation so his buddies in a big coal company could get at those mineral rights. So what if some of those Indians dies from the expulsion. They were just wasting the land anyway. John knows how to exploit things.

how truly sad, tragic, and pathetic some of you are. why so bitter, vile, and angry? as a hillary supporter i still have not made up my mind who to vote for, if at all, but reading posts like this by obama supporters sure makes the job easier. i just figure if this is the hope, and change, obama speaks of, and if this is what he inspires in you (his supporters) i want nothing to do with it. goodnight.
