I see the "islamo-terrorist"-type comments popping up again/as usual...

Funny, how those kind of people are so willing to ignore the fact that there isn''t anybody in either party who doesn''t favor hunting the terrorists down like the mad dogs that they are and simply slaughtering them.

lollll...they still hold onto the straw that, if only they try hard enough, they can scare America stupid again...

First McBush says lobbyists have no influence in his campaign. Then it comes out that several of his top advisers are, in fact, career lobbyists. Now McBush is making a show of pretending to separate himself from his lobbyist buddies.


John McBush....the best President money can buy.

If you could drive all of the lobbyists out of Washington, it would still take 20 years to clean up the mess they made.

"I know six voter who will stay home and not vote if Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee. These are hard core Democrats. This is scary. If I know six, how many others are out there?" ****** I know quite a few people who live below the poverty level that voted for Bush twice because "he''s the kinda guy you''d like to drink a beer with". What can I say, there''s no shortage of stupid/ignorant people in this country who will shoot themselves in the foot come election day for the stupidest of reasons. Give credit where it''s due, the GOP has done a great job in manipulating people''s fears to the point that they vote against their own economic interests (and for the interests of the top 1% elite). It never occurs to these people that they''ve been suckered for the past 8 years.

McCain''s new focus is a classic example of Republicans overplaying their hand, yet again.

Rove liked to "make our weakness our strength", and did it reasonably well for Bush. The Rove wanna-bees in McCain''s campaign are trying the same strategy, and failing miserably. McCain has lobbyists running his whole campaign, even lobbying from his "straight talk express" bus. It''s all a laughable farce.

Americans can''t trust this twisted old liar, and they know it. He''ll do his best to talk tough and sell fear, his surrogates will do their best to spread lies and push racism, and in the end they''ll all look like cowardly fools.

Bring on the general election.

ERoosevelt08:

Oh give me a break! 8 years of George W Bush, and Barak Obama "scares" you?

Quite honestly, it IS better that you stay home because clearly you are too STUPID to vote!

-------------------------------------------------
If Obama scares you that much, and which he should , you should have your voice out there. ONE LESS VOTE FOR OBAMA EVEN IF YOU DONT CARE FOR MCCAIN. OBAMA CAN NOT BE PRESIDENT.

Muslim Extremist will do anything including get a President in Office who will sympathize with them.

Obama Pastor Rev Wright Praises Hamas and writes about them in his Church Bullentin. Since Obama told us Wright is a Mentor for 20 years, I am afraid Obama is just telling us what he wants us to hear. But pay closely attention to Barack Huesain Obama acitons and associates.

The question is if we want a man in the White House who will regularly give his ear to the likes of a Reverend Wright, his and Sabeel%u2019s replacement theologies, and pro-terrorist propagandists like Ali Abunimah on a regular basis? In one sense, Obama could be considered the ISM%u2019s Manchurian candidate given his wide connections to ISM activists and campaign movements such as the Wheels of Justice Tour, Joseph Carr a.k.a. Joseph Smith, Hannah Mermelstein, Anna Baltzer and others.
