Yeah right! That''s why Darth went to the state? That''s why the Reich spent MILLIONS? Just keep on with the excuses sparky... the day of Wedge issues like you post is GONE. Now, when confronted with the basic EVIL and Corruption of Bush and the Religious Reich, American''s can see for themselves what the Republican Party has become. It ain''t good and NOTHING anyone can say will make it so. By the way his BIGGEST promise? He would NOT vote for anymore Free Trade Agreements!! SIEG HEIL BUSH

Good try at spinning. First, you get to keep your guns anyway, and Roe v. Wade won''t change anytime soon, so while those make great "wedge" issues, they don''t matter. On those issues that matter, like health care and taxes and the war and judges, he will vote with the party. You lose.

Absolutely, but I think that Americans are finally waking up to the fact that the name of one''s party means absolutely nothing anymore, they voted for an anti-abortion pro-gun rights conservative person, period.

It also suggests that "Republican" politicians have totally ruined their party''s brand name, which is now indelibly linked with corruption, collusion, fascism, war, intolerance, financial mismanagement, and personal perversion, and the truly funny part is that they did it to themselves.

Just a road bump in the road to victory for McCain.

With things as rosy as they are in the country, why should we change direction?

Gas at $4 a gallon.

4072 killed in Iraq.

$3 trillion squandered in Iraq.

Heck we need four more years of the same!

Go McCain Go!

94 MORE YEARS 94 MORE YEARS!

(in Iraq, that is)
