element51-seems like your own party is doing a good job in going after the empty suit. I love how you dems blame everything on the Republicans and give your own party a free ride. To date, we have had to do nothing to either hill or the empty suit. They are doing fine tearing each other apart.
And,if there is any dirt on the empty suit, I hope to God mccain has the nads to go after him. Sure know the left would do the same even if they have to make it up.

And Hilary''s friends and associates...the list of questionable characters would be limited by the number of bytes I can include here.
Why have people forgotten her intergrity, her time on boards, her money helping friends? Have we forgotten so soon?

Here''s what Obama actually said, "You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing''s replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. So it''s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren''t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."


He didn''t insult anyone. What he said reflected the facts. People ARE bitter and angry.

So that was Media, who turned Serious concerns about things above to %u201C hunting and regular mess%u201D

I am in shock, how narrow the mind of moderators is. Like they are somewhere in Zimbabwe , where people can not read and will %u201C eat the meat %u201C George will cook.
Shame on ABC.

Also, other media are doing the same %u2013 ignoring real facts but making storms in the glass of water.

media did NOT use ALL the meeting conversation, jus took the most needed "meat" from plain poor journalist with bad reputation.
They did Not even publish widely the comments of witness. just did not want, cause than..."the meat" will disappear - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-coleman/i-was-there-what-obama-re_b_96553.html
Both moderators were Awful! One can never name them intelligent in any way. Laying in armchairs like judges (with little personal achievements by the way) asking to Brilliant People staying in front of them. Awful.

Obama signed an agreement to accept federal funding for the election campaign. Now, he has virtually reneged.

How many of his promises that are oral only, and thus much easier to break, will he also back out of once he assumes office?

If you vote for him because of what he says, lots of luck, you''ll need it.

Obama''s nose grew at least a foot in length in the course of the last debate. He solemnly promised not to raise taxes on those earning less than $200k to $250k and then, in the next breath, said he was seriously considering a near doubling of capital gains taxes and a raising of the circa $90k limit at which social security taxes cease.

Anyone who owns stocks, mutual funds or a second home is subject to capital gains taxes, even if they only make $10k per year. And the increase under Obama would be $1500 per $10,000 gain.

Anyone who earns over $90k per year would be subject to nearly a 7% increase in taxes on the excess income (and 14% if they are self employed).

If this is absolutely no tax increase on those earning $200k and under, God forbid if Obama might break his promise and give us a real tax increase.

Sell your wallet while you can, you''ll have no need for it during an Obama reign.

truth...You have a good point. The republicans will manage to turn Obama into Osama ben Laden before they get through with him. And they''ll probably be able to place him as a member of that Texas cult of pedophiles. However, all Hillary''s camp has to do is have someone follow Obama around with a hidden tape recorder and they''ll be able to get all kinds of fresh meat. Give a spin doctor a tape and a knife and he can work miracles. Remember it''s a long time till the convention.

Better that bad things happen to Obama now (see story) than to happen when the Republicans get a hold of him. Don''t forget, as another Democrat, Hillary can''t bring up anything NEW on Obama, but the Republicans can and will.
