New York Republicans Admittedly Ambivalent On McCain-Palin

“Well put.”
A 'Terrible' Debate Performance By Brokaw and Organizers
Commented Oct 08, 2008 at 09:19:44 in Politics
“That was my first issue with this debate as well. The problem is that JMc has no domestic policy to speak of. The only time these people condescend to speak to the middle class is when they are looking for votes. Brokaw gave him a pass last night. Lame.”
Colorado Women Come Out For McCain-Palin
Commented Oct 04, 2008 at 13:51:48 in Home
“I'm sorry, but there is no excuse for ignorance in today's world. I know that Colorado has broadband and libraries and everything a voter needs to inform themselves. If people choose to be ignorant it is because they are lazy and disinterested.
I know because I'm in Dallas. That puts me in the nest of ignorant voters. We call them RINOs. Republican In Name Only. They vote the way they do because that's what they were taught. If they actually took the time to inform themselves they would be a lot closer to the middle than they care to admit. I've managed to convert a few close friends, but I'll be shocked if O can take Texas. Colorado should be a cakewalk.”

“Here in ruby-red Kansas we call them ostriches. That's because they "stick their head in the sand" when confronted with the truth. There was a best selling book "What's the Matter with Kansas" about this phenomenon, written by former Kansan Thomas Frank who also blogs occasionally on this post.
Living here, being surrounded by so many intellectually UNcurious people, is definitely out of my comfort zone. My husband is a farmer and, as such, is pretty much married to the land. Some of his relatives STILL believe George Bush was a great president. I'm appalled by people's lack of interest in the issues in our current tough times. I'm amazed that they can vote in kneejerk unison with the rest of the red chorus without "blinking" (borrowed from Sarah Palin). I'm amazed that they can look at themselves in the mirror and not be concerned about the futures of their children and grandchildren. I'm amazed that if they lose their job, their health care, their house, they still say "......but you wouldn't vote for a Democrat, would you?"
"There are none so blind as those who will not see".”

The Scandal that Tells Us All We Need to Know About McCain and Palin

“Great article. Too bad most Americans don't read. Is there a way to make this article into a coloring book or something?”
Joe Knows National Security
Commented Aug 28, 2008 at 10:40:38 in Politics
“After the first WTC bombing it became Clinton's top priority. There were no more bombings here under Clinton. Only after GWB cut the counter terrorism budget by millions of dollars and began to look the other way were we hit again. Why can't you see that?”

“Perhaps not, but he's been their biggest recruitment tool. He's created far more than he's eliminated and he's done it in hiding from thousands of miles away using our brave young men and women. Please don't buy into the fear mongering.”
"But He's a Muslim!"
Commented Aug 26, 2008 at 09:48:40 in Politics
“Even if he were a Muslim it shouldn't matter. The vast majority of Muslims are peaceful, intelligent, free thinking people. The problem is EXTREMISTS. We've had a Christian extremist running the show for almost eight years. This is a far more dangerous scenario because not only is he a religious zealot, he has the resources to destroy entire nations. Wake up, people! McCain is just as dangerous. There is a reason for separating church and state. GWB is the poster child for that.”

“Islam is just like Christianity, Judaism and the lot... All religions SAY they are about peace and love, but they all have done MUCH more harm to humanity than any other man-made dogma.”

“GWB isn't even a Christian extremist himself (just like he isn't really a cowboy), he just aligned himself with the "Christian Right" to get elected. Even worse.”
The Anatomy of a Deception: How The McCains Changed Their Baby Adoption Story Just Before 2008 Campaign Began

“It's just another example of distorting the truth. They took something that was a completely noble act and tarnished it beyond belief. This is the action of a truly soulless individual and is in no way presidential.”

“You obviously did NOT read dubya's resume before voting for him. Twice. You've got to be kidding me.

Baghdad Bling

“That coupled with the fact that we were "liberators" and are being greeted daily as such. According to what I've read they were supposed to pick up the tab on this.”
The Audacity of Contempt

“Unfortunately you are "preaching to the choir" in this particular venue. Great article though. If only we could get this message out via Big Brother.”
Yes Conservatives, Inflated Tires Beats Coastal Drilling
Commented Aug 05, 2008 at 15:51:47 in Green
“He is willing to compromise a bit to get his energy bill passed. He does not WANT to drill. Unfortunately, he can't just pass his own legislation. He needs votes and sometimes compromise is the only way to get those votes. Sad but true.”

“Sad but true this is just more of the same game.”
SeaBoatbuilder replied on Aug 05, 2008 at 22:35:58
“Exactly! Unwillingness to compromise is why this nation has been in partisan gridlock for so many years.”
Reading The Pictures: "Dollar Bill McCain"
Commented Aug 02, 2008 at 12:04:50 in Media
“He seems to have scanned a hundred dollar bill in its entirety which is illegal. Maybe they should just pick him up for counterfeiting.”
j.gold replied on Aug 02, 2008 at 15:27:38
“It is not illegal to scan money, only to print it.”

“Are you kidding me?!?! Do you even know the definition of Liberalism? When the president talks about freedom and the rights of individuals he is describing Liberalism. These are the very ideas that he pretends to be defending in this horrible war.
