Sad but unfortunately familiar. Politicians justify anything if they think hard enough

All of this information and yet we still have no answers concerning the Annenberg Challenge and Obama/Ayers as well as Dr. Khalid Al Mossauri who may have financed Obama''s Havard education? Please, would the media try to do some actual vetting of the empty suit Obama?

You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can''t fool all of the people all of the time except for the ones who chose to be fooled

Facts like these are why mccain/palin have to run on personality. The facts dont support their case. They say one thing but in nearly every instance the facts dont support their speeches . The republicans are, let me be charitable "playing fast and loose with the facts". When you read the actual results of palins governance in wasilla ,leaving wasilla with 18 million dollars more of bond debt than when it started, her role in the bridge to nowhere , the facts dont match her narrative ,flat out. You can put lipstick on a pig and its still a pig . Her record and the facts,take the spin out of whatever they say.Mccain votes with Bush 90% of the time ,now how is 4 mores of the same ol, same ol , gonna change washington?

We will never get to the bottom of this or any other secrets she has because she nor McCain will make themselves available to the press.

Sad but typical behavior. You can convince yourself anything is "right" if you try hard enough.

The headline is a classic case of liberal omittery. The sad thing is that many people won''t read the article to find that out for themselves that she did nothing wrong.

Man, if Obama did this, all of the right-wing nutjobs would be crying and whining to high heaven!!! But they are suddenly quiet or coming up with lame excuses as to why Palin stole all of this taxpayer money. Pathetic!!!

The GOP fought tooth and nail to keep Congress from regulating the mortgage industry.

What do we Americans get?

Another bailout.

What do our kids get?

Higher taxes for the next couple of decades.

Thanks Republicans, you preferred a government that governs the least and by those standards thats exactly what you gave America.

Thanks Phil Gram!!

It''s time to print some more money!!

The Iraq war:

TWO TRILLION American tax dollars down the drain.

Hey Bush.....my grand kids'' thank you in advance for making them pay taxes tomorrow while helping those working in the industrial military complex keep their jobs today!!

"Eminent threat" for oil???

4100 of our children die in a war for oil.

100,000 Iraqi civilians die in a war for oil.

2,000,000 Iraqi''s forced to move from their homes for oil.

Two trillion American tax dollars down the drain for oil.

Lets print some more money.

NEOCONS - the Party of "LOYALTY OATHS" to their "DECIDER OVER COUNTRY".

That young lady that testified in the Attorney FIRINGS ADMITTED that she swore loyalty to her "decider" OVER her country in her TESTIMONY.

Palin ALSO demanded a "loyalty oath" equivalent from HER underlings.

Thus you NOW GET EXCUSES for the INEXCUSABLE from those that believe in loyalty to PALIN OVER LEGAL REQUIREMENTS and the good of their STATE!!!

Sort of REMINDS me of a "gang mentality" where "loyalty" overrides even the basics in legality and decency.
