OK You Mccain Lovers, Volunteer to have Nuclear Power Plants in or around your Neighborhoods, or live with the knowledge, that your neighborhood will be a Nuclear War target, if World War 3 occurs !!!


Not to mention your Offspring being born with 2 Heads and Your Families being Plagued with Brain Cancer or Various forms of Cancer !!

Oh, an the Sweet yet Slightly Nuclear Tainted Water, you`ll be Drinking for Generations, as well as the Fish & Wildlife we`ll all be Consuming...Hmmm Hmmm Good Eating & Drinking.

By all means.....Vote McCain



George Bush Jr....

1. The Biggest of Big Spending Presidents.

2. The Biggest War Monger, Under False Pretenses and the War Cost to he American Public...at the Sound of 20 Billion per month.

3. 1 Million Plus Iraqi Children, Women & Men & over 4,090 US Soldiers Killed...

All under False Pretenses.

4. McCain, Oh Yeah, he won`t raise your Taxes, Worse than when George W. Bush Sr. Promised `no New Taxes` knowing Full Well, there has never been a time in Congress or a Presidency, when there was never a New or Established Increase in the Taxing of US Citizens, Inflation & Population dictate taxes and Taxes are Never ending, Live with it.

I''m hearing through the grapevine that Cheney has actually monitored personally a torture interrogation at Guantanamo in Cuba - even thought these interrogations are illegal - that means cheney just performed an illegal act - because he did not report or try and stop it.

I also hear the Rumsfeld also witnessed personally interrogations at Guantanamo, Abu Greub, and in Afghanistan and a number of other countries.

If these reports are true - they need to be arrested.

McCain needs to say this to Obama during a debate: Drilling for more oil is part of the solution, along with increase fuel standards, increased Nuclear power plants, and increased wind and solar generation facilities. Senator Obama is wrong to say no to more drilling. Voting against more drilling is cutting off our nose to spite our face...and Senator Obama is the surgeon...and I thought he was a lawyer. The McCain camp is free to use that or hire me for more zingers.

Until the green movement recognizes that nuclear energy is a green alternative, and the only realistic alternative to combustible fuels, we will be stuck on this carousel until the American way of life ceases to exist. But that is an end that the greens seem to welcome.

A monkey can run this country better than Obama. Obama kicked Islamic women out of his rally this day so the TV cameras would not associate HIM with Islam. I guess Obama doesn''''t really represent ALL of us after all.

ROFLMAO Now you see, this is what happens when you FAIL in school and become a Neo Nazi! This post is pure fascism top to bottom but the last part is the funny part. Here is someone who would have, in a heart beat, have been on here trashing Obama as having Ties to Muslim Extremist IF those ladies had shown up in the picture. So two low level Champaign Workers removed them and??? This fascist losers is on here trashing him for the actions of these lower level workers. I''m not EVEN going to get into the trash about Clinton''s years in the White House except to say, how many of you wouldn''t trade the Clinton Administration for George W. Bush!! ROFLMAO McSame is a flip flopper that puts everything we''ve ever seen before him to shame. NO ONE, and I do mean NO ONE, knows where this guy actually stands on anything... he will say or do ANYTHING to get elected. We already KNOW were that leads now don''t we!! SIEG HEIL BUSH!!
