Who was the guy with the lantern or candle that went looking for an honest person? Good luck with that in politics. Until there is truth in politicing and the candidates are held accountable, it will always be the same thing. Voting for the lesser of the evils, if you can figure out which one that is.

I really get sick of political parties, Dem, Rep, and their members where no matter what is said or done, it is OK if the candidate is in your party.

Good Luck America and God Bless

Dark Tales of others unfortuneate cirmustances to tug on the heart strings of America is a ploy, yet, not to undermine the people involved, it shows how Clinton manipulates the public and yet does not prove what she is capable of doing or having done to avoid such incidences. The women is a scam artist. This is not any differant than Obama promising to unite a country when he himself spent 20 years in a Church that spewed hate. Change is finally understanding that to accomplish anything you have to have a straight shooter, someone on the level, no double-talk, and certainly no BS.

Against McCain, Clinton bests Obama in swing-state polls
By David Lightman | McClatchy Newspapers
WASHINGTON %u2014 Hillary Clinton is stronger than Barack Obama when pitted against John McCain, according to new polls of three major states that tend to swing between Democrats and Republicans in November elections.
A Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday found that, thanks largely to white voters, Clinton leads presumptive Republican nominee McCain in Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania, while Obama trails the Arizona senator in Florida and leads him by narrower margins in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The results:
Florida: Clinton 44 percent, McCain 42 percent; McCain 46 percent, Obama 37 percent.
Ohio: Clinton 48 percent, McCain 39 percent; Obama 43 percent, McCain 42 percent.
Pennsylvania: Clinton 48 percent, McCain 40 percent; Obama 43 percent, McCain 39 percent.

BUT WE NEW THAT %u2013 DEAN PELOSI get you hand out of the cookie jar%u2026

This is just awful! The nerve of that Richardson. Just who does he think he is lying like that to, of all people, Hillary. Where would he come up a notion of doing something like that?


It''s enough to make an honest person smoke an inhale all at the same time. Make an example out of him - Crucify him, Bill. CACKLE CACKLE CACKLE

So, THIS is what the lunatic fringe looks like! Frightening, disturbing but, mostly, pathetic!

Obama''s grassroots organization are winning because they''re the ultimate machine with David Axelrod pulling all the strings behind the scenes.

David Axelrod''s business is astroturfing -- using propaganda techniques to create the impression of spontaneous grassroots support when in fact it''s all coordinated from the top. It worked so well that progressive grassroots orgs have flocked to Obama and actually believe it''s about them. They''ve got a wake-up call coming:

Republicans - they are the ones that used to cheat of the Democrats to pass the class. Do you really expect them to run an Honest Presidential Race - just like the last 2 elections - they have to CHEAT to PASS.
