Eight years ago, the Republicans rejected McCain for Bush. They thought Bush was better for America. Now they're telling us McCain will be better than Bush (or Obama). Do Republicans believe the things that come out of their own mouths? posted 07/05/2008 at 07:49:50

- "I support [McCain] 99 percent. How I vote is based on whether the candidate is for or against life, period," Strang said. -

The number of abortions increased under Bush - to whom the extraordinarily Godly Strang gave his steadfast support.

It is the dream of every greedy megalomaniac to never have to check his work. Hell, who needs results when you've got sanctimony and a flock who think you're the voice of God. Organized "Christianity" is tthese guys' ticket to Heaven on earth with power and lots of ready cash.

If he really cared about "life", Strang would understand that abortions rise when economic conditions fall. Economic conditions fall when conservative economic policies are enacted. Sanctimony is much easier and enriching for America's pharisees. posted 07/04/2008 at 08:37:42

Did you miss the rank and foul and complete politicization of the DOJ and FEMA and the FDA and the DOD...and,...and...and? Besides the "conservative" windbags, what could possibly convince you that this would be any different? Do you really think that people who would send other people to their deaths or permanent disfigurements based on lies for no-bid contracts would hesitate to spy on their political enemies given the means, opportunity and lack of accountability?

I agree with most of the first part of your post. Our corporate for-profit "news" outlets are helping to sink us.

As to the second part: No, it doesn't make "us all" wonder about Rev Wright. If all they can come up with (and believe me, if they could come up with more they would) are 30 out-of-context seconds (which aren't all that bad if heard in context) from 30 years of preaching, the only thing I "wonder" is how we're ever going to get out of the deep holes we're in when people still care about this kind of bs?

Until we have total public campaign financing in combination with free time on the public airwaves (via abc, cbs, fox and nbc) we will continue to live at the mercy of the corporate plutocracy. It costs too much money for almost anyone with any sense of decency or genuine concern for the American people to run for office. Then, once whoever is willing to compromise themselves enough wins the office, they spend at least half their time raising money for their re-election campaign. I don't mind letting them keep their jobs if they're good at what they do but not if all they do is fund-raise.

I don't know why no one likes to talk about it, because all this campaign money is killing us. posted 03/22/2008 at 06:32:49

Yes, I think voters should be very concerned. I think that they should also be concerned that the most Senator Clinton had to do with the peace process in Ireland is some tea and a few cookies. I think they should be concerned that she tries to make it seem otherwise.

But the voters should also be most concerned that McBush lies about nearly every foreign affair he doesn't have a fatal senior moment over. At this point, not knowing the difference between Sunni and Shia and claiming qualification to be Commander in Chief, is like not knowing the difference between a bail-out and a swindle and claiming qualification to be Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Unless McBush just had a series of senior moments over a period of days and that's scary in and of itself.

If theirs is the "threshold" for CiC, Hillary can carry McBush over it and have him forevermore.

Barack Obama has shown more good sense, honesty, bravery and respect for the American people in this campaign than all the trips around the world would benefit the US in matters of foreign policy or in any other matter.
