"Bagdad John McBush" McCain has invited Barack Obama to 10 town hall meetings to discuss matters that only "Bagdad John" wants to discuss. After all, he is a military man (we think, even though he won''t vote for the GI Bill) so he only wants to talk about Iraq, and nothing else.

Who cares if you lose your job, are going to lose your house, have spent you tax rebate money on gas for the car and groceries for the family, and can''t even think about seeing a doctor, dentist, or going to a "non-profit" hospital?

Despite this, "Bagdad John" wants us all to be "safe and secure" by fighting the "terrrrrrrrorists" in Iraq instead of making life better for US HERE and having the wealthy and elite continue to lead the "American Dream" even though you can''t afford it now!

How about having a few debates, not at a town hall, but at an unemployment office! You NEVER see a politican, neither neocon Fascist Nazi Republican or cowardly Whimpo-crat, even NEAR an unemployment office! Train stations are OK, even post offices are OK, but definitely NOT unemployment offices.

Unfortunately for "Bagdad John" and the neocon Fascist Nazis, unemployed people VOTE TOO!!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!
sig heil, DEFINITELY MORE OF THE SAME, McCain!!!!

These are the quality people that will most assuredly get Obamas vote. You know the group - everything is Bushs fault and it is the governments responsibility to take care of myself and my family.

They''re running on hope at the moment, taking comfort from the odd tidbits of good news.

Don''t worry America, all those tax cuts Republicans gave to the super-rich are going to trickle down to you eventually. Right?

"Average hourly earnings for jobholders rose to $17.94"

Why doesn''t ANY media portray the numbers that REALLY matter?! With one percent of the population holding the majority of everything, the term "average" is meaningless.

Tell us what the MEDIAN hourly earnings are for americans... bet it''s less then half of the "average" number that the media keeps pushing down our throats.

This is all the fault of liberals. The business community clearly fears communism and they are laying off workers due to this. Lets pray and hopefully President Bush can save us once again.
