Sen. McCain has already shown to the American people (well, at least the ones who actually think for themselves) that he is not credible because he lied, again when answering Ms. Couric''s question! The sad part of his interview is that the myriad of Republicans I''ve heard from in supermarkets, department stores, etc., have already expressed how disgusted they are at McCain fearing that their money will not be safe if he is President of the U.S. What shocked me was the fact that Palin is an example of putting women back-in-time with her stance of women should not have abortions even it is due to rape or incest. THAT REALLY PISSED THESE WOMEN OFF!

So, again, Americans being lied to by McCain will be a daily diet. And Palin, well, let''s just say that she''s already a "Yes" woman who is being pimped by the Rep. Gop party!

I have to admit that this is the stupidest article I have ever read. talk about softball.

WHAT to do think ANY candidate would say? "O Yes, I believe it is right to lie to the American people."

Just pull this article and put someting a little more meaningful on will ya?

I once had jury duty in a rape trial.

The upshot of it all was that the story of the rape victim changed every half hour. The story of the rapist stayed the same, time after time.
Guess who walked out a free man? The "victim" lied to cover up her robbery of the "rapist" for a cocaine habit. The facts began to fall into place after three days of testimony.

Such is the state of our current campaigns. Who has changed their story? Obama? or McCain

Gee, no contest here. McCain has spun as much as a weather vane in a Midwestern storm. First, I''m for deregulation, now I''m against it. Obama''s message has been consistent.

And as far as Sarah Barracuda... Why is she being hidden from the media? Too dumb and inexperienced to comment on current events?

We''''re not answering questions."

That would be the hallmark of an Obama presidency.

Transparency? - "We''''re not answering questions."

Accountability? - "We''''re not answering questions."

If credibility is important for a President to have, then McSame just ruled himself out.

Bye bye McSame. Bye bye lipstick wearing pitbull.

Because they don''t have any credibility.
