Well, then maybe the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute can open up offices in the "Green Zone" and finish their research in-country for that first-hand veiw.

For the McSenile fans: Why does he refused to sign Jim Webb''s new G.I. Bill and why did he vote against military pay increases this year? He is one of the most anti-vet Congressmen in Washington. Check the record. And, since we are so interested in the health of a President, exactly what type of therapy did he receive for the stress of those years in POW camp? Why did he break and make anti-American statements while in Hanoi and what are the long term psychological implications of such an experience? Even Republicans should be interested in that information before voting for him.

I used to like this guy, until he went on the GOP waffle iron. Now campaign financing? Call him McNot. He is already out raised by Obama 3 to 1. McSame will need the swift boat slimers to spend private money because even with 4 of D.C.''s top lobbyists as his chief advisers, and no comments about McCain''s hypocrisy, he just can''t get corporate money nor everyday Americans to ante up. Why? Because he offers no hope, just more of the same.

Yeah, everything is just peachy rosy in Iraq according to Bush, Rove, McCain, Petraeus.
So, what else is new?
They will never see anything wrong because their hubris blinds them to the truth.
Gimme a break.

J, Clinton does not read from prompters but certainly has trouble with facts.

Obama does not give much detail in his speeches requiring memorization.

Only Bubba could talk extemporaneously and that is because of the whoppers he had told his wife for all those years.

read an auricle a few months back about the GOP concern that Obama would get the nomination. They were concerned that if they swiftboated him it could be thrown back in their faces that they are racist. Having Condi on the ticket could blunt that as well as split the African American vote.

Won''t work. Everyone will see right through it. Condi has had her nose up Bush''s rear for eight years and has not had an original thought of her own. She has pretty much failed on every foreign policy mission she has been on. Actually, it might be kind of cool to see MCain try to put a black woman on his ticket. Gosh, we can''t let the Democrats get ahead of us on acting like real Americans and embracing all of our citizens. The GOP shoud be the GOWMP, Grand Old White Male Perverts.

McCain has certainly taken some controversial positions.

The reason McCain continues to get media suport is that he stands there and takes it when questioned on those controversial positions and gives his reasoning.

He does not make up stories.......

John "The Great Pretender" McCain has saif there is a "sense of normalcy" returning to Iraq.

Instead of no clean running water, now 1 out of 10 children get a cup of clean water. Instead of 4 hours of electricity per day, there is now 5 hours; which means people have an extra hour to lead normal lives before they have to run hour and lock their doors.

The questions present themself, if Iraq is returning to normalcy, when will we see Corporate America move its glass and stainless steel towers to Bagdad? When do we see the troops start coming home? When does Iraq start paying us back from the "phantom" oil revenues it is supposed to have to cover the cost of the war? When will "Bagdad John" start buying riverfront property in Bagdad?

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!
sig heil, (more of the same) McCain!!!

Good article on McCain''s son in Sunday paper.

The reason for not talking about him is so that Senator McCain does not make him a target while in Iraq and also so that his son is one of the guys in his platoon. His son is a lance corporal.
