- Attacking the Candidates wife is low class and its shows how bankrupt the Republican party actually is. With wars in Afghanistan & Iraq, a foreign policy that has diminished our standing in the World from friends & foes alike, an economy in tailspin, etc. The Republican party cannot compete against Sen Obama on the merits of the issues challening America. This politics of division and fear mongering has worked in past elections, but not this time! Call me chauvenistic but, I believe if you have differences with me, let''s deal with it, however leave my family out of it or deal with the consequences.

Why don''''t YOU address his point. Here in Kentucky it''''s the same. YOU got something to say to a man you say it to him, you do NOT pick on his wife or family. This is desperation at it''''s worst and everyone can see it.

WOW, what an extremely sexist thing to say. Your wife can''t take up for herself? Do you have her barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen?
Lighten up freak, if you put your self in the spot light and say something jacked up then people will call you on it. If You DON"T want that then don''t stand at a podium and talk.- Reply to this comment
- History does NOT bear you out here. Before 1994 the Republican Party didn''''t have complete control of both houses of the Congress but ONCE in 70 years. I think this one may be worse than the McCarthy Mess that cost the Republican''''s so dearly. No it''''s going to be a long, maybe a very long time before Republican''''s can again claim a majority in both houses of congress.

What I said was exactly right. Because even thought it was for 70yrs they did lose and like I said it is a cycle. Just like when the republicans won a little over ten years ago, they won everything and just like the Demss is this time they have it all. The problem is that now that the Dems will have the house,the senate and more than likely the white house, and that means if things go wrong then there will be no one to blame but themselves and that''s never good because it only shortens the time you have to control the govt. If the other party has at least one then you can blame them - Reply to this comment
- I am proud of my country, but extremely ashamed of its government.
All of us, at one time or another, have said things which, if available for instant replay, would make us look either racial, bigoted, unpatriotic, anti-male, anti-female, uneducated, anti-social, stupid, or any combination of these.
Things can and often are also taken out of context in order to make someone look bad, although I''m sure politicians never do that.
To imply that any of the candidates or their wives who have been involved in this presidential contest are somehow unpatriotic is beyond stupidity, and the majority of the American people see through it for what it is. Slimy politics. - Reply to this comment
- Senator Bob McCorker has a problem with the First Amendment too huh? Who''da thunk it? These McPublicans like to strain at gnats in the press ALL DAY LONG. But in the meantime, they are helping their fellow CFR member accomplices in the democrat party in selling of the country''s assets......AND NOT A PEEP OUT OF THEM! Spain just won the bid to sell the Pennsylvania Turnpike, America''s first super highway that WE THE PEOPLE bought and paid for the tune of 12.8 BILLION dollars. And our government, by the people of coarse, has the nerve to fall all over themselves looking for TRAITORS here. Not only are they the traitors , but I say they are also "THIEVES" in selling things that do not belong to them......Welcome to the North American Union?....The Security and Prosperity Partnership (partners with who?)......And the "Conthervative" Radio Talk Show Hosts have the nerve to label RON PAUL as a kook. Good luck to you McHosts,....you won! Now live with it!

- The republicans owned the senate and the house for over ten years! Now the democrats have and in another 6 to 10 years the republicans will have it again
Because get this no one political Party will be on top forever. No matter how good of a job they do, people will always get sick of the same party running the country for too long. It''''s just the nature of things

- I feel so sorry for Real Republican''s. They see and understand what these creatures are doing to their party but they seem helpless to stop it. The worst they become the deeper the party sinks.

- Call a spade a spade. This woman is an unpatriotic, unamerican, racist radical. Obama may not want Southerners telling the truth, but we have freedom of speech too. Someone needs to apply duct tape to this woman''s mouth.

- In Texas when a man has a problem with another man, we confront that man and not his wife. The Tenn GOP guys seem to lack some cajones.

- In order to be proud of something, you have to have achieved something worthy of being proud of... and being "proud" doesn''t mean that you say, "Well, at least we aren''t as bad as other countries, and if you don''t like it, move there..." This isn''t pride, its arrogance.

- Are we proud of the patriot act? Are we proud of torture? Are we proud of gitmo and the european gulags the CIA is running? Are we proud of the bush admin''s warrentless wiretapping of our phones? Are we proud of still after all this time being addicted to oil? Are we proud of our educational system? Are we proud of blackwater, ENRON, haliburton, cheney''s secret energy meetings with the energy companies? Are we proud of the outing of a CIA operative (a true hero - Valerie Plame)? Are we proud that bush has given up golf for the troops?...
Just what are we proud of? - Reply to this comment
- what does Mrs. Obama''s comment have to do with anything? does it help us come up with solutions to the many serious problems are country faces? should we continue to be "proud of our country" and yet do nothing to fix the problems?
I agree with Mrs. Obama''s comment. Its been a long time since I''ve been "really proud" of my country. Someone tell me what we have to be proud of? Anyone?... Are we proud of the Iraq War? Are we proud of the way veterans are treated? Are we proud of our economy? Are we proud of the corruption and paralysis in washington? Are we proud of the jobs been shipped overseas and the destruction of the middle-class? Are we proud of the 37 million people living in poverty in our country? Are we proud of the 20 million American children that don''t get enought to eat? Someone tell me, Just what are we proud of? - Reply to this comment
- If Obama doesn''t want his wife to be criticized then he needs to tell her to keep her mouth shut or keep her out of sight...just like he did with Rev Wright.

- I think it is scary that Obama said, "Republicans'' who think they can attack Michelle better watch out," or something to that effect. What is he going to do? Was that a threat? I thought freedom of speech was guaranteed by the Constitution.

- If Michelle doesn''t want criticism, she shouldn''t be on the campaign trail. She should confine her activities to a web site dedicated to the exchange of recipes.
