SO MUCH FOR CHANGE! Obama had the chance to select the most qualified woman, who actually received more popular votes then he did, and he chose an old, washed up, has been toad. WELL LADIES, we just got shafted again by this little self serving idiot! Say "Hello President McCain!" The sexist pigs at the DNC need to be sent a message.

tomcool1277 - you''ve been blathering "hussein" for so long now, I think you''ve forgotten that Obama''s first name is Barack. You''ve been spouting hate for so long that one can''t help but think you''re very, very bigoted. Not sure whether you''re anti-Islamic or anti-African-American, but boy, your prejudice is hanging out all over the place! Tuck it in, suck it up, and behave like a grown up, if you know how.

Man, I''''ve been reading comments on all the "Obama Mainstream Media" outlets, and the Clinton supporters are PI$$ED! So much for about 18 million democrat votes. It was just a matter of time, but the young senator has bitten off more than he can chew with this one. Does any democrat have the balls to tell Obama there isn''''t anymore room under the bus to throw anymore democrats? Nah, their all pretty much gutless like Obama!

it was not dems and reb that shot that bill down it was the american people calling and shutting down the phone banks of congress get the facts right at least be fair Posted by coryellco at 02:50 AM : Aug 23, 2008
*** So who co-sponsored that bill??? AMNESTY John McCain! So why would you want to give someone that co-sponsors an amnesty bill, the presidency? That scares me more than Obama! You really think Amnesty Mccain wouldn''''t give amnesty to those over 20 million illegals when he gets the chance???? How can you stomach Amnesty Mccain? If we let over 20 million illegals into the country, we working class people need help, that Obama offers, Amnesty Mccain only offers help for very rich people and illegals!

Hey tomcool1277, who do you think the conservative person be for 2012. Man, its nice to meet someone who makes sense. Yes, the old Lincoln repulican party and how about the old democrat party under FDR ? What happened with these two once great parties ? Just ignore all those people who are criticizing your points. You make sense !

ummmm it is the GOP that shot down the AMNESTY bill,,, all the DEMONIC-RAT candidates for president were for AMNESTY,,,
it is the DEMONIC-RATS that want to grant amnesty to illegals,,, including HUSSEIN,,,
HUSSEINs solution for illegals is to grant them amnesty and have americans learn SPANISH,,,

*** Why do you say such lies??? What was that amnesty bill called again??? Wasn''t it the Amnesty Mccain-Kennedy dream act? So isn''t Mccain pretty much in favor of Amnesty for illegals then? SO if you give me a republican candidate that doesn''t support amnesty, i''ll vote for him, however, Amnesty Mccain co-sponsored that amnesty bill! Give us conservatives a candidate that doesn''t tolerate amnesty, or we will vote for Obama! Amnesty MCcain supports amnesty for illegals! For that reason alone he needs to lose for the good of our country!

Ok tomcool1277 - you convinced me ! You are right but I am conservative and will vote for a liberal president. I did vote for Carter and Clinton - twice. Maybe I am more of an centralist (no too much gov and maybe some). Thanks for the advice !

*** Yeah, I consider myself conservative also! But we can not allow Rich people and Oil Executives to get away without having to answer for what they do. If we let liberals on amnesty for illegals like Amnesty Mccain to get elected, it weakens our conservative Republican party. I like the old Lincoln Republican party. Lincoln wrote that he feared that a few people controlling most of the money in the country would lead to problems, he sure was right about that! I tell people that Obama is NOT a messiah! What he is, is the opposite of George Bush and Amnesty Mccain! That is what this country needs. We need to show that when a ruling party manages the economy so poorly like the republicans under bush, we need to change direction and not let more failed policies make us even weaker! In 2012, we will have a REAL conservative republican Candidate to go up against President Obama in his reelection campaign. If amnesty Mccain gets elected this November, expect another liberal on amnesty for illegals to get the republican nomination in 2012! That is why Obama becoming president in 2008, will actually be what is best for the country, and what will be best for the republican party!

** yes, the Amnesty MCcain/Kennedy dream act, which would have given amnesty to over 20 million illegals. A bill that DEMOCRATS and republicans shot down! So if Amnesty MCcain gets elected, you don''''t think he will try passing that amnesty *** again so that his rich buddies can have all that cheap labor?

*** How much money do you make per year? Obama will only tax those that make OVER 250,000 bucks per year! Amnesty Mccain and the republicans don''''t want rich people to have to pay their fair share of taxes! Do you really think that those tax cuts for the wealthy really help the economy? NO! They hurt the economy! Why? Because the rich people put that money from the tax cut and put it in the bank. They don''''t spend on the economy like they are suppose to! Think about it, who are the upper one percent?? Oil Company execs, Wallstreet, and Walmart Execs. Do you really think Oil execs and walmart execs need those tax breaks??? NO! Vote Obama and put and end to corporate greed!

Sen. John McCain`s support for the illegal immigration Amnesty Frankenstein Bill made many Republicans abandon him, in fact many have said they will never vote for McCain because they can`t trust him not to flip flop on the issue of illegal immigration! Many Republicans were so angry over McCain`s support for the illegal Amnesty Frankenstein Bill they said they will never vote for McCain under any circumstances!

I don''''t want Obama because he will raise taxes and then McCain will invite all of our nice friends from outside the country. Who do I vote for then ? Please provide some advice ?

** Vote Obama! Send a message to the Republican party that we will not vote for a candidate that tolerates amnesty for illegals like Amnesty Mccain. You say you don''t really like either candidate. Well, do you think after Bush and Amnesty Mccain as presidents that the republican candidates for president next cycle will get more conservative? or more liberal? Answer=more liberal, just so they win and keep the rich people interests in power. It isn''t just to oil company executives that are evil either, Walmart is very evil! Once Sam Walton died, his kids got taken over by greed! Sam use to care about getting his workers the best of everything, now they won''t even pay cashiers more than 6 bucks per hour! Yet the walmart executives make BILLIONS! If you vote for Amnesty Mccain, you will see conservatism go away forever in favor of nothing but liberalism for the rich people to stay in power! Trust me, after 4 years of Obama as president, we will get a conservative candidate, rather than AMnesty supporting Mccain!

** That was not the democrats idea! That was Amnesty Mccain and pals that came up with that non-sense! If you elect Amnesty Mccain, every republican candidate will get more and more liberal on amnesty for illegals just to get the hispanic votes. Why else would you want to elect amnesty mccain if he won''''t kick out the illegals? So rich people don''''t have to pay taxes? I''''d rather have rich people pay their fair share of taxes if they won''''t give us a candidate that doesn''''t tolerate amnesty, instead of giving us amnesty mccain!

Actually Sen. Clinton would be a good choice for the Supreme Court, shake it up and stir that pot up a bit!
Posted by tbweb at 02:23 AM : Aug 23, 2008
*** But do you really think she would want to be on the Supreme Court? I think she wants to be president someday, and being on the Supreme Court will not help her at all! I say give her some cabinet position!

Posted by tomcool1277 at 02:26 AM : Aug 23, 2008,,,

Sen. Clinton is mentally active, she needs the kind of work that engages her mind `completely` and the Supreme Court would be the perfect remedy as she would never be bored again! Sen. Clinton also has polarizing energy, if it wasn`t for that her Health Care System would have been implemented in her husbands administration, most who cited its failure cited her personality as the cause, not the plans or proposal itself but her personally!
