Clearly amnesia is the Repugnicant party's greatest ally.

If the Iraq debacle were occurring under a Democratic administration, there would have been mass resignations from the party as well as impeachment proceedings a few years ago. If McCain steals, um I mean, "wins" the election, rest assured, more macho bullshit will be coming out of the White House and more crap will be swept under the rug. posted 05/10/2008 at 20:18:08
Well, the Repugnicants and various news outlets and pundits hounded Teresa Heinz Kerry to release her taxes. After some time, she release partial records. Talking heads "made" it damage Kerry's campaign. Where is the outcry this time? Seems pretty quiet; not a peep. Double standard anyone? posted 05/10/2008 at 01:28:16

Well, I suppose Hillary also:
manufactures and fixes her own car (and maintains it)
does her own dental work
does her own surgeries
designs and builds her own houses
manages her own money
draws up and executes her own contracts
would've handled her own divorce when Bill was....well, you know

What a shame and a dissapointment she is.

Yet another assault on knowledge and intelligence, this time aimed at economists and people who listen to them. In that respect, it is more of the same crap that Bush peddles. "If you don't think and believe as I do, you're an elitist against US!"

At this point, none of them are standing close enough to get their finger anywhere near that hole of the dam.
According to a litany of economists, suspending the gas tax, while sounding great now, won't do anything other than possibly eliminate thousands of highway jobs and reduce the amount of money collected for highways and bridges. Do we really need another Minneapolis bridge collapse? No! And states are already strapped for cash, including funds for bridge and roadway repair.
Obama has taken heat for supporting one as a state senator and not supporting one now. Who knows...perhaps he learned from his previous mistake? It has been documented that the tax suspension in Illinois did not work as all had hoped. Clinton did not support one in the past, but now she does as she campaigns for President. I can't recall McCain's previous stance. Seems more like political posturing to get in "good" with voters now, until the end of the summer when voters realize that they saved maybe $20.
Instead of yaking about those damn lapel pins, I want to hear more about the candidates' thoughts on energy policy and any future plans for government assistance in alternative energy sources. You know, some time ago, the US used to be known as a nation of entrepreneurs, innovators, and problem solvers. What the HELL happened? posted 05/02/2008 at 01:25:01

You know, when you go shopping, there are numerous beers, wines, potato chips, paper towels, toilet paper, cereals, etc. to choose from. And we only have two political "parties". Actually two groups:
One a loose conglomeration of "free thinkers" that coalesce into one larger group around some common beliefs.
The other a tightly organized unit that never wavers in its use of strict rules and talking points and minimizes dissent. They never veer off course, even if the course is utterly disastrous and wrong.

So if Obama is to blame for Wright, that means McCain should be apologizing his ASS off about Hagee, Robertson, and Falwell since he has decided to kiss their asses to pull in the religious right vote.

Otherwise, we will be stuck with more of the same in McCain: stuck in Iraq; stuck with cronyism and no-bid contracts; ignored laws and treaties; a politicized, witch-hunting government; a failing economy with jobs flying overseas; $5 gas to put into cars with shitty gas mileage polluting what's left of our atmosphere; a bully president; etc etc etc.

And I suppose she didn't mean to say he was elitist after saying people are bitter? Seems to me A LOT of people are bitter, hence the popularity and the strong arguments flying around on sites like this.
And I also suppose that she knows all about race and poverty, helping the disadvantaged as a community activist, teach constitutional law? And I suppose that Hillary knows how Congress is a co-equal branch of government that is to provide checks and balances on the other two? Perhaps she does not since she rubberstamped the welcome mat at the entrance doors into Iraq.

If there was a candidate that knew all about the issues, we wouldn't need campaign aides/surrogates,teams, committees, cabinets....we wouldn't vote for candidtates who talk about God all the time...we would vote for God himself...or at least the candidate who has God talking to him/her more. posted 04/27/2008 at 15:11:05
10 million people watched BULLSHIT questions on non-issues. That wasn't a debate. posted 04/27/2008 at 15:00:59
Why give her ANOTHER shot at twisting his words? Maybe Obama has learned from Gore a bit here: Whatever he says, someone will twist it, contort it, transform it into something unrecognizable. The press will then get hold of it, and without doing their jobs and checking the facts, perpetuate the lie. Given that, it has very little to do with being able to defend yourself when your message gets lost in the haze of inaccuracies.
The debate would be a good idea, IF BOTH were committed to talking about the ISSUES, instead of trying to rehash old SHIT to keep it going in the news cycles.
Like we need ONE more debate, after having 21?! Instead of only attacking each other, they need to hone in on McCain. This joker is getting off scott-free right now.
On another point, I think it is a bit absurd to call Obama an elitist, when you look at his history and compare it to McCain and Hillary (and Bush and Kerry for that matter.) posted 04/27/2008 at 14:11:06

I think it's the Repugs that like terrorists, American and otherwise. After all, by using the terrorists to scare the SHIT out of everyone here and abroad, the they have managed to stay in power, even with the most vile, corrupt, partisan, ignorant people in the upper levels of our government. Without fear, these criminal assholes would have been bounced out of office through impeachment, elections, and investigations years ago.
And now, here we are. The Repugs are trying to cast Obama as the evil, God-hating, average American-hating, elitist, black Muslim who will destroy the government and steal all of our freedoms, while taxing the shit out of us.. They are trying to cast Hillary as the evil, tax raising bitch who will let terrorist overrun the country because she is too scared to do anything. WHAT A BUNCH OF RACIST, SEXIST CRAP!
Alas...they are trying to cast McCain as the 'True Hero' who will regain America's lost prestige and goodwill, rescue us from the terrorists as well as ourselves, protect our troops, and jump-start the sagging economy with his vast amount of knowledge. He is the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-caring, mild-mannered centrist who will cross the aisle to bridge the divide and unite us. WHATEVER!

I wonder if she is so indignant with people at ballgames when they talk during the national anthem?
Last I checked, there is no patriotic requirement to wear a flag lapel pin nor put your hand over your heart during the national anthem. If that is what annoys her about Obama, you have problems.
So I suppose if Obama got easily flustered, she would have a problem with him. It's not like he took a bunch of taxpayer money and shipped it to some other country to be lost, without any accounting for it. It's not like paying taxpayer money to some huge company in a no-bid contract and that company ends up doing shoddy work, if they do any at all. Give me a break, lady. Sheesh.
