This is a democracy and if people are unhappy they have a right and a responsibility to say so. Calling it whining is manipulating, doesn''t solve anything, and merely distracts from the issues. Manipulating should ring alarm bells that the government is derelict and will not even try to do anything.

If McLame can''t even stand to listen to things like "birth control for women," and "Viagra," it''s no wonder that he doesn''t have a clue RE: the controversy surrounding insurance companies'' discrimination.
What scares me even more is the way he froze up - he really looked like he was back in the jungle, and that is what makes him so dangerous -

McLame is seriously unbalanced - the man can''t keep himself together when somebody asks him a legitimate policy question. I don''t understand how he managed to get this far in life when he is such a basket case.

OMG!!!!!!! I laughed my A** off!! That video clip of McLame says it all.

Did you catch the one on ABC news - a reporter asked him "just exactly how does your experience as a POW qualify you for the Presidency."

McLame''s two-word response was, "Oh please."

Then after he took several minutes to "compose himself," he got back on camera and said

"I learned to love my country when I was deprived of it."

Oh YEAH, that''s leadership potential - if he was running for dog catcher or something.

I just want to know what kind of hallucinogenic drugs they gave McLame, because he is still feeling their effects.

When a larger number of votes find out Obama is not against Reparations for slavery his poll number will fall some more.

Can you post a statement from Obama confirming this?

The Dem''''''''s should have run Hillary.

The GOP shouldn''''t have run anybody.

They aren''t. They''re running a washed up has been, that is a perfect example of WHY our government is broken, and WILL NOT do ANYTHING to fix it.

You can GUARANTEE, he will maintain the status quo.

in other words, no Republicans need apply.

I agree with part of your statement.

Who in their right mind would want to be President of this country if they couldn''''''''''''''''t cash in somehow either in office or after? Posted by confused25

That was Aaron Burr''s reason for entering politics. He said government service was "profitable".
The original republican.
He lived, Alexander Hamilton died.

Posted by Barocalto at 10:49 AM : Jul 11, 2008

The more people know about OBAMA the more they like him, the more McCain opens his mouth the more people like OBAMA. A win-win situation!

Did you see the video of McLame trying to answer the Viagra/birth control question? It''s hilarious - looks like someone in a nursing home trying to remember what they had for dinner. The Republican analyst on CNN this morning called it the most uncomfortable clip he had seen in his 40 years of being involved in Republican politics. LOL http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/10/mccains-birth-control-pro_n_112048.html

Again about the elections Obama will not get the older vote which always turns out, McCain will.

It ALWAYS comes down to racism with the republicans.

That is conclusive proof, that they KNOW their candidate doesn''t match up on the issues.

Phil Gramm is a good example of an AGGIE. You can spot them by their class rings when they''''re pickin their nose and then lickin their fingers afterwards.

hungry1968 -

That''s great as long as you "get it" about why I''d like to see them all drooling in a nursing home.

I have played by their rules and they have the chutzpah to call me a whiner anyway.
