Attention all republicans in the Primary States soon to vote... I know it will be hard to keep the vomit down. But, vote for Hillary. This will cause the Democratic Party to continue to tear itself apart. Make a donation to McCain''s campaign next week and pull the lever that says Hillary.. We''ll thank you for taking one for the Team!

The Iraq War has been bad news for Iraq and the US citizens and our military (except for Halliburton, Blackwater and Cheney) but very good for Israel.

That''s the bottom line to it all.

Hey McCain,,,,,, I see you understand & admit today that going into Iraq was a mistake --- But that mistake is not in the past,,, it''''s in the here & now, we don''''t want you repeating the same mistake

Barack Obama could improve his standing in Northern Texas by promising Federal funding for mechanical bull research and development.

J, we have the Hillary ad running here about "the phone ringing and who will answer......... Good ad but the answer should be "McCain, here.

----------

Hillary and McCain have similar vile world views. Not suprising that she would run an ad that McCain voters would like if it was from McCain.

That''''s why I''''m for Obama rather than Hillary.

This article contains the required six (6) references to "al Qaeda".

It contains the full phrase "al Qaeda in Iraq" four (4) times.

AP and CBS will receive suitable compensation from their masters as agreed.

Just bypassing instant Terrorislama spam.

Don,,,, I am a bit over sensitive yes.... I hate dirty campaigning from either side in no way is any of it good for this country ----- But too many people take adds & rhetoric as their actual stance on issues.

Yes Obama has been totally constitant opposing Iraq, he is not in any way going to pull us out as soon as he gets in, surrender or abandon our efforts. Neither would Hillary.

As a matter of fact our military in Iraq is using time tables, to think they aren''t is just silly... And to assume they wouldn''t support the next President just as hard as they do Bush''s policies is also wrong.

J, also, the only ads we are getting from Obama here are the "I was against Iraq from the beginning" or "this administration is the reason for the high CEO salaries".

Two ads that don''t wash real well in Northern Texas. Not sure who is doing his planning there. Down south they might be working better.

J, you are too sensitive as that was not an anti-Hillary comment from me. Just an observation about what we are seeing here.

The gloves are off here and wounds are being delivered.

I hate empty rhetoric. Can not stand it. Probably comes from work where you run into empty suits from time to time. Fire those guys.

The general election will be best served by a contest between Obama and McCain as the choice for America will be as far apart as we have had in a long time. Hillary is not that far apart from McCain.

Don,,,, You are stuck on the anti-Hillary rhetoric --- Get through it

I''m not supporting her, but McCain is out to lunch & has become a party puppet.

Don,,,, I''m really not that familiar with Sam Johnson, wikipedea lists him as a librLibertarian.... You say he''s an ultra conservative, then he probably is ----- And another Bush this country does not need ----
--- We need to win a war on terror while addressing problems in the rest of the world & Bush/McCain are ignoring & are creating more problems Reagan created in setting up more genocides

J, I think you have the Sam Johnson''s confused. This one is ultra conservative in a very conservative district.

J, you have to acknowledge the good and the bad in each candidate or you will be swayed by the BS sound bites.

Don,,,,, Sam Johnson was also a liberal republican, a member of the Libertarian Party --- A far cry from right wing conservatives.

You''ve got to stop reaching pal...... McCain has Flip-Flopped on his own principles.

Don,,,, That was only one life experance, a long long time ago ------ McCain''s political experiance is as a Goldwater republican -------- He''s flip-fopped on his own ideals & teachings & as I''ve pointed out he''s now become a very big part of the problem with bad government.

J, there is one big difference between the candidates.

McCain has had a full set of life experiences.

His rhetoric does not match up with Obama or even Hillary but he has experienced more than any of us would ever want and his opinions are forged from those experiences.

Interestingly, here in North Texas we are represented in the US Congress by another POW - Sam Johnson. Sam approved of waterboarding. McCain did not. Although McCain says Sam experienced the worse, Sam says it was McCain.

Life experiences.
