That is the point I was trying to make!! WE have a nation about as screwed up as it can get. The PEOPLE responsible for that problem is the REPUBLICAN''s. Now either McCain IS one of them or he isn''t. IF he is he needs to be HERE telling us all how he intends to KEEP our good paying jobs right here in the good old USA, not exporting MORE of them too! - Reply to this comment
- since winning the war on drugs has been so successful I clearly see why McCain is there - for more war. I would love for him to speak at length on the economy for once, giving specifics to how he will pay for his tax cuts for the rich, etc.
Then if he could speak about our crumbling infrastructure, and how he''ll pay for it''s repair while fighting in Iraq. I''ve heard the word leevee so much I think it''s a popular kids name.
Next maybe he could address how we will send more troops to Afghanistan now that more troops are dying there than in Iraq. Maybe he could tell me something like, ''no, having the surge in Iraq is not short changing our efforts in Afghanistan'' or some other form of bold face lie to make me feel better.
After that if he could say how he will enforce trade laws with china while we keep borrowing from them to pay for the war in Iraq.
He might even feel ballsy and speak on what he will do with all the nuclear waste we will generate by building hundreds of nuclear reactors instead of improving our green power technologies.
That''s what I want to hear about. Not about who''s partiotic, not who served in the military and how, not abot Colombia taking our money while coccaine is just as popular as bottled water. - Reply to this comment

Well now we have TWO choices there my friend. ONE obviously wants to continue the same policies that we have had now for a long time. One wants to continue to export our jobs and do NOTHING to change the course of the nation. THE other does NOT! Not much choice that I see. Obama is the ONLY logical choice PERIOD. - Reply to this comment

You know YOU and the Republican Party told us 30 year ago that YOU had the solution to our dependence on Middle Eastern Oil... here we are 30 years later and you are saying the same old things. Drilling MORE holes in the earth for something that IS going to run out is NOT going to make us energy independent and that''s just a fact. - Reply to this comment
- This guy is proving to be just another Republican. IF he truly believes his Party was wrong. If he believes we need to change direction, then HE needs to be HERE telling us just where and how he intends to lead us. When I hear Obama speak I hear a clear vision of where he wants to go. You can either agree or disagree but the vision is very clear! When I hear McCain speak all I hear is deception... attempts to get away from discussing the hard tough questions. I see a box of Bandaid''s NOT change at all.

- John Kerry February 23, 1998
"Saddam Hussein has already used these weapons and has made it clear that he has the intent to continue to try, by virtue of his duplicity and secrecy, to continue to do so. That is a threat to the stability of the Middle East. It is a threat with respect to the potential of terrorist activities on a global basis. It is a threat even to regions near but not exactly in the Middle East
Al Gore September 23, 2002
"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
Bill Clinton February 17, 1998
"We have to defend our future from these predators of the 21st Century.... They will be all the more lethal if we allow them to build arsenals of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them. We simply cannot allow that to happen. There is no more clear example of this threat than Saddam Hussein."
Ted Kennedy September 27, 2002 "We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."
Chuck Schumer October 10, 2002
"It is Hussein''s vigorous pursuit of biological, chemical and nuclear weapons, and his present and future potential support for terrorist acts and organizations that make him a danger to the people of the united states." - Reply to this comment
- This moron says that "partisanship ends at the water''s edge" when this is so obviously part of his presidential campaign. What a hypocrite! Also who in the hell is he to talk to anyone about human rights when he voted in favor of torture here in America! He needs to retire his wrinkly senile backside to Sun City!

- Oil is making millionaires in North Dakota . State and industry officials say North Dakota is on pace to set a state oil-production record this year.
When oilmen wanted to drill there last year, Stohler, 83, doubted oil would be found two miles underground on his property. He even joked about it
In less than a year, Stohler and his wife, Lorene, 82, have become millionaires from the production of one well on their land near Dunn Center, a mile or so from the sod home where Oscar grew up. A second well has begun producing on their property and another is being drilled
all aimed at the Bakken shale formation, a rich deposit that the U.S. Geological Survey calls the largest continuous oil accumulation it has ever assessed.
OBAMA FIX FOR HIGH GAS PRICES:
1. NO deep sea drilling
2. No reduction in the federal gas tax (20 cents per gallon)
3. No Arctic drilling
4. No Rocky Mountain drilling

- McCain should ask his butt buddy Uribe exactly how much he got paid to cover up the fact that his cousin is a dirty stinking murderous terrorist

- NAFTA and other free trade deals were a flash point in Obama''s primary campaign against Hillary Rodham Clinton.
McCain''s trip to Latin America followed a visit last month to Ottawa, Canada, where he also promoted free trade.
OBAMA IS NOT FOR FREE TRADE- IF IT WASN''T FOR FREE TRADE OUR ECONOMY WOULD SINK EVEN DEEPER INTO S---.
WE NEED BOTH JOBS AT HOME AND TO EXPORT ABROAD. WAKE UP. - Reply to this comment
- In an effort to demonstrate that he is qualified to be Great Emperor, no matter what Gen Wesley Clark says, "Bagdad John McBush" McCain has gone to Columbia to "press" Columbia''s president on human rights.
It is also rumored that "The Great Pretender" McCain might also be trying to influence Columbia''s president Uribe to support HIM in the US elections and thus "INFLUENCE" any Columbians living in the USSA, legal or not, to vote for McCain. McCain would be using for leverage the CFTA that has been stalled by the evil, cowardly Whimpo-crats in Congress.
McCain has promised Uribe that if he is elected/appointed Great Emperor, he would "muscle" CFTA thru Congress, no matter what the people of the USSA want, and throw in a Hannah Montana concert as well!
SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!
sig heil, DEFINITELY MORE OF THE SAME, McCain!!!! - Reply to this comment
- This is very crazy for John McCain to press Colombia for human rights when a Texan from Pasadena just shot two Colombians to death while robbing his neighbor''s home. Human life is precious, but Texans can exhibit fear during a crime and legally shoot anyone. In Texas, they often arrest people found to be illegally there, and prosecute them and execute them, without ever giving the aliens access to their homeland embassey for adequate legal representation. Human rights are great, but John McCain needs to go to Texas and preach the same thing. Ignorant Texas are spreading the outrageous attitude about legally throwing human life away for simple criteria.

- Oh, geez. Hey, McCain. You''''re an American. Your gigantic problems are at home in America. Are you trying to become the American version of Nicolas Sarkozy (French president), who since his election has stuck his nose into seemingly ever country except France?

No he''s making plans to do what Republican''s do best... EXPORT MORE American Jobs... Big profits in that for the Rich and CEO''s who pay the freight for the Republican''s you know!! Sieg Heil Bush - Reply to this comment
- I can see right now what McSame intends to do in this election. Go from nation to nation talking about EVERYTHING... just don''t talk about the Good Old USA and what''s going on HERE. Course he and his pals in the Republican Party CAN''T talk about the Good Old USA and what''s going on here because it''s a MESS the likes of which we have never seen. When you were in charge and that MESS was created it''s kinda hard to talk about... especially when you propose to continue the SAME Policies!! Yeah John maybe you should just STAY over there... THEY are most certainly doing better than we are here!! SIEG HEIL McSame!!
