Bush Casts Vote For McCain

By: Brian Montopoli
Topics: George W. Bush

President Bush today cast an early ballot for Republican presidential nominee John McCain, the Associated Press reports.

The president and first lady have traveled to Texas to vote in past elections. The pair plans to be at the White House on election night this year, according to AP.

An interesting side note: In an effort to draw attention to the vote, the campaign of Barack Obama, which has repeatedly tied McCain to the unpopular Mr. Bush, emailed the AP report about the vote around to campaign reporters.

Still have not seen any one dispute what I wrote. Just more emotions. Come on Barney, explain your social engineering programs. Show us the film where some little regulator showed up and told you, Maxine Water, and John Lewis, etc, that Fan/Fred were in trouble. You 3 called him every name under the sun and to just get out of Dodge. There were NO problems.
Now, let me tell you another little deal that is underway with small business (those folks who hire 70% of the workers and who OB wants to tax). If you can open or invest in a Temp Agency, go for it. Plans are already underway. If you are NOT a SKILLED worker, be aware. You offset the upcoming taxes with getting rid of some 30% benefits which the Temp Agency has to cover. Temp agencies are getting real excited over this one.; Reply to this comment

I wonder...who did you vote for in the past two elections? My money''s on Bush, in which case...if that is where you head has lead you in the past...I will certainly be running in the opposite direction this time around.

by insight2008 October 25, 2008 11:13 AM EDT: Well,well. CNN reports today that OB''s worn out lie about McCain giving tax breaks to co''s outsourcing was just that..a lie. Now does that really surprise anyone. If you still believe it, name me 3 companies that received any such tax break. Do not exist. Let''s see if the following reports from the WSJ and others are correct about OB and sister Pelosi''s spending plans with YOUR money:
1. Worldwide poverty fund of $810 billion. We will now feed everyone.
2. Soc Sec to become a welfare state wherein lower wage earners will be given additional funds. Now, that should get seniors'' attention.
3. 1.5 bil for trial lawyers tax relief. What !!
4. New payroll tax for job loss insurance. You get money to make up the diff between your old job and your new one. Good grief!!
Now, where in the hell is this money coming from. Pelosi, keep running the printing presses.
OB is ushering in the biggest smoke and mirror administration in history. Socialist America.
Keep voting from your emotions rather than your head. That is smart.
By the way, will we ever get to see Barney in front of the Dog/Pony show going on in DC and explain how he broke America by REFUSING to have Fan/Fred REGULATED as Sen Hagel desired and McCain voted for. Look it up..it is in the Record.; Reply to this comment

I mean his supporters are so COMMITTED(heh heh) to McCain that they''ll carve up their own faces, lie to the police, tie up public safety resources and actually threaten the safety of innocent black men on the street.

Rush Limbaugh was absolutely wrong. Events have shown that General Powell was absolutely right. it seems that the judgement of a 4star star general, Ranger and expert infrantryman were a little more accurate than those of dope fiend and draft dodger Rush Limbaugh.; Reply to this comment

by dalva0 October 25, 2008 9:14 AM EDT: Obama and Obama''s people makes AMERICA sick!! They are alredy behaving worse than COMMUNISTS in power.

If they dont like ''critiques'' about them, they go after that person. If they feel their are threated by any reason...they pursue revenche.

When the truth is: IT IS OBAMA THAT NEEDS TO INVESTIGATED. He and his whole entorage. If this man wins this election, mark my word, AMERICA is in for a very turbulent time. There will be things coming up about this man...it will be like a TSUNAMi! and even if the Media try to suppress it...nothing is going to STOP America''s rage.

In fact the Media will be so guilty it will frantically cease to be for a great period o time.

If you think President Bush, who is truly a great Leader, is bad...you wait Mr. Barrack Hussein Obama.

Plus,
VOTING is supposed to be private! or secret!
If I were Jena Bush I would sue the person here who said she voted Barrack Hussein Obama.
Such a great Lie! Be ashame Oba-mites! stop lying!
Go and destroy Kennya. Not our great country.

Oba-mites are a TRAGEDY for AMERICA!; Reply to this comment
