- "He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe''s bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.
Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air.
He walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.
Joe begins his workday. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards." - Reply to this comment
- Bottom line Republican econ. policy has devalued the once mighty U.S. dollar by close to 1/3rd.
The cost of oil/gas is totally out of control.
We''re in the middle of a Sub-Prime mortgage debacle.
McCain says:
"I don''t understand how the economy works."
We can''t afford another 4 years of this. - Reply to this comment
- "Joe''s employer pays these standards because Joe''s employer doesn''t want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he''ll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn''t think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.
It''s noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe''s deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe''s money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.
Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards." - Reply to this comment
- "He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers'' Home Administration because bankers didn''t want to make rural loans. The house didn''t have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn''t belong and demanded rural electrification.
He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn''t have to.
Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn''t mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: "We don''t need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I''m a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have."" - Reply to this comment
- "Five Reasons Obama ...Won"
1) The national election has NOT happened yet--only a loser would think that way.
2) A mob likes the guy.
3) a whole lot of republicans voted for and contributed to his campaign... and
4) he was therefore able to often spend five times what the Clinton campaign spent--and still lost very often.
5) many...persons...forget that they have more than one hand to count on... - Reply to this comment

1. Just like Reagan, Obama believes in talking to our enemies.
2. Obama''s STOP FRAUD Act provides the first federal definition of mortgage fraud, increases funding for federal and state law enforcement programs, creates new criminal penalties for mortgage professionals found guilty of fraud, and requires industry insiders to report suspicious activity.
3. Expand the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit: The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit provides too little relief to families that struggle to afford child care expenses. Obama will reform the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit by making it refundable and allowing low-income families to receive up to a 50 percent credit for their child care expenses. - Reply to this comment

Go to Obama''s website and read his positions on the issues, if you look it''s all there.
If you hold McCain to the same criteria, you will find that his positions aren''t articulated in T.V. sound bytes effectively either. - Reply to this comment
- david1737,
It''s shameful really. People resort to the same slimy tactics ever election and America loses in the end. I had hoped for better this time. Unfortunately, many are also Bush voters TWICE and they never will learn because they are never responsible for anything. - Reply to this comment

- Once again "Operation Chaos" posters have invaded this board.
Rush Limbaugh called for his listeners to disrupt the Democratic Party by creating chaos/divisiveness in the Dem. Primary.
He repeatedly instructed Republicans to (among other things) vote for Hillary, threaten to vote for McCain, and "bloody Obama''s" campaign.
This not only undermines the Democratic process, it is Anti-American. - Reply to this comment

McCain is just tired.
In fact he''s should just retire. - Reply to this comment
- McCain was one of the Keating 5
McCain/Bush and his family were all over this and it cost the American tax payer over $1.4 trillion dollars!
It stems from deregulation of the S&Ls.
Do some research. - Reply to this comment
- Five Reasons Obama Won
1. Because people are gullible and will suck up anything that you think will change your circumstances
2. Because he is the candidate the oligraphy of the DNC chose for you.
3. Because of bigotry and mysogyny
4. Because you chose to be intimidated by someone who suggested your were a racist.
5. Because gullible people would rather someone make up their mind for them rather than take a real stance and don''''t have the guts to take down the oligraphy.
