Yet somehow the talking heads are trying to convince us that this country will vote another Republican in. Wen pigs fly they will. We may not be the smartest nation on earth but we are smart enough to know when we have been hood winked. I have been saying this for yearsssss now "HE IS THE WORSE PRESIDENT EVER." It's now being proven!

That is PRECISELY the problem... stupid Americans. And in this case, a very specific class of stupidity. How is it that 68% can disapprove of Bush, with roughly the same size subgroup deeming the Iraq war a mistake, yet John Beach Boy 100 Years War McCain, promising a CENTURY'S worth of the same Bush stupidity if he becomes president, now polls about even in a proposed matchup with either democratic candidate? WHAT IN THE HELL is wrong with the people in this country?? The instant McCain was heard singing "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" the entire nation should have gasped in collective horror and run screaming from the senile lunatic. But no, instead... HE GETS SUPPORT! HE GETS THE REPUB NOD!! WTF!?!??

All great questions. I also find it extremely hard to believe that he could be even remotely closed to running neck and neck with either Hillary or Obama. The campaign funding doesn't bear this out and the record numbers of Democrats showing up at the primaries doesn't square with this either. But if we remember how we got into Iraq in the first place, I guess it's not so hard to understand how John McCain could be doing so miraculously well.

LOL
You libs don't understand the middle America and small town America. You repeat your lies back and forth so much that you believe them. Keep in mind that the Democrat congress still has lower ratings. Then you wonder why McCain's ratings are so high?
Most Americans want lower taxes and smaller government. Look at what your candidates offer. Big increase in government and much higher taxes. The bologna about taxing the rich is ridiculous. They are already over taxed and any increase will mean lower revenues like EVERY other time it has been raised. Kennedy was the last Democrat president that understood that. He lowered taxes which increased revenue.

"Keep in mind that the Democrat congress still has lower ratings."
--Lower ratings than Bush's yes. Lower ratings than the GOP, no. Americans are angry at both parties for the perpetual gridlock but they still trust Democrats to run their more than Republicans. That's why Republicans were kicked out of power in 06,' that's why so many more Republicans are retiring (aka under investigation), that's why Denny Hasturd's seat was snapped up by a Democrat, than Democrats, it's why Democrats are raising way more campaign money than the GOP, it's why Speedy Gonzales is unemployable, it's why so many Republicans are repulsed and horrified that you conjobs have poisoned the party and becoming independent or crossing party lines...pheww...I gotta rest...

--Uh...No, look at what the GOP gave us and remember why you're no longer the majority. The largest government in history, Endo. That's a fact you can't deny--brought to you 100% by the GOP majority. And Tax wise you shafted everyone except the wealthy. America knows this. That's why you're lying that Democrats are gonna raise taxes on the middle class and the poor when you know it's Bush's ultra wealthy friends who are gonna have THEIR taxes rolled back. You know this, Endo. The more you conjobs whine about the rich paying too much tax, the more obvious it becomes that your diapers are soaked and you know the Chimp gravy train is gonna be derailed by the Democrats come November. LOL...That's all you're talking about--what's gonna happen to your tax cuts. The sky is falling if Democrats get elected. Hehe...No one believes you conjobs, Endo. Keep spinning and keep lying.

There is no such thing as a fact Endo can't deny. He's a full-fledged, Bush/Cheney dead-ender, authoritarian goose-stepper. Nuanced thinking is not his thing.

Endoscopy, talk about repeating! "Democrat congress" -- an epithet right out of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity's playbook. McCain's ratings aren't so high, throat scope, and your other info isn't so hot either.
Clinton (Bill) DID lower taxes on your beloved rich, ruling class. (P.S. Are you one of them, or just one of 95% of Americans who mistakenly believe that someday they'll be rich?)
Another point you're flabby on is who is for big gov't. Bush added more to our govt workforce than any other president-ever. He added a whole new cabinet position (Homeland Security - ha-ha), the TSA, a new post to coordinate the wars in Afghanistan & Iraq because neither the Secty of State nor the Secty of Defense could manage the job...he added tens of thousands of contractors to the government payroll (Blackwater, Halliburton, etc.), he dismantled FEMA (before Katrina), firing 1,400, then had to rehire 4,000 FEMA workers to manage what worked just fine before...LOL yourself.

Endoscopy--you really have an appropriate moniker b/c I feel like I've been having one for the last 7 years under Bush. Also, why is it that whenever someone criticizes this Administration, folks like you call us "liberals." I'm not a liberal as that term is currently used. Further, you sound like you want smaller government; therefore, you must hate the Bush Administration, which has ballooned the size of government and the deficit.

--Because if you disagree with Bush you're a "lib" or you "hate" America or you're "for the terrorists". ;-P

McCain`s ratings high?
What have you been smoking?
The reason why middle-class working America is going to boot McCain a new one is because we are sick and tired of high taxes and we know that he is just another special interest puppet willing to sell our prosperity for extreme wealth for a few cronies.
We`re sick of big govt and McCain promises even bigger govt than the record govt of George Bush.
We`re also sick of the Republican bullshi* of pretending that spending does not mean taxes. That may work on the kool-aid crowd, but it sure as hell does not work on thinking Americans.
Bush`s shirking of taxes to states so he could waste more on his corrupt buddies did not go unnoticed. Bush`s shirking of taxes onto our children and the transfer of wealth from working class to idle rich did not go unnoticed.
We need McCain like we need another 9/11.

I am hoping GlobalW. I am hoping that you are incorrect, this country maybe; even this planet couldn't endure another bush type presidency in the White House. We are on the verge of economic collapse as it is, to continue down this road would be the biggest disaster in the recent history of our nation. I don't get how you can think that things are good while you are paying almost $5.00 a gallon for gas when OPEC say they haven't slow down production, the chairman of OPEC said this about 2 months ago, your cost is high because your leaders has dictated that it be made high. Shocking to find this under the rule of an oil man. That there is still 28% of the American standing with this fool is shocking.

I knew we were in trouble when a friend of mine who is a mechanical engineer grad from OSU said to me over lunch one day, " Bush is smarter than Clinton." I almost choke when I realized that he meant educated, now this is a very smart man that uses the internet and he was shocked to find that Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar. You might be correct GlobalW, it's not just the stupid that are voting for these idiots.

Don't get me wrong, I never said things were going good. Although my business is booming. I'm just pointing out that Bush somehow got elected... twice.
Its in the interest of huge world corporations like Exxon for other world economies to grow. China and India have the potential to far surpass our energy uses and big oil wants to be there to make sure everyone can fill up their cars. Nothing wrong with that but I would rather see the trillions of dollars we'll be sending to China go into the American infrastructure.
I felt there was no way possible that Bush would have been elected a second time so now I just hope for the best.

Uh, yeah... the key word there being "somehow". Not exactly elected, either time. Electoral corruption is one of the hallmarks of incipient Fascism. We're well beyond that stage.

Uh, actually it will.
When the Bushies gave the oil companies a free hand to gauge the American public during a war, did prices and profits go up or down? We all know they went up to new records.
See, where the rubber meets the road those arseholes are corrupt SOBs out to steal from us as much as they can get the politicians to let them. And the Republicans are very consistent at selling out their fellow Americans.
You`ve got to be pretty damn gullible to believe otherwise after the last seven years of the Bush oil industry handouts.
If a Dem becomes prez, I guarantee the price of gas and the gas profits will come down. Guarantee it!

You're like a little anti-tax whirling dervish, aren't you, Argo? LOL The Republican Party is over. Don't you get it? Your trickle down elephant crap economics looks, feels, and smells, just like what it is. We've been trapped in this GOP sh*tstorm for the last 7 years and the American people have decided that enough is enough and we want out of it. You can cry and screech and lie about taxes all you want. Americans aren't buying it. We won't forget the Bushco largest government in history, record gas and food prices, Cheney's secret energy co meetings, SCHIP, largest deficit in history, the dollar, the trade deficit, destruction of the military, 9/11, Iraq, Abu Ghraib, wiretapping, waterboarding, GITMO, missing e-mails, macaca, Katrina, Schiavo, sub-prime crisis, Bear Stearns, Enron, Plamegate, Gonzogate, Gannon, Abramoff, Foleygate, Haggard, Hastert, Cunningham, Stevens, Delay, Katherine Harris, 2000 "Election", etc etc...We WILL NOT forget in November. Believe that.

First, "dervish" "1 : a member of a Muslim religious order noted for devotional exercises (as bodily movements leading to a trance)"?
Half of the things you list are either false, your opinion, or simply propaganda. There is no way I will waste my time to rebut with fact each of your opinionated and/or false claims.
However, let's look at the wonderful world or Democrats in charge. Start with New Orleans. Yes, just a panacea... And the big Katrina debacle was mainly rooted in the Governor of Louisiana, Kathleen Blanco, Democrat who refused to allow the National Guard into the state until after the chaos.
How about the "war on poverty". After trillions spent, the data shows nothing has changed.

Sure let's try the Dem way again. I don't know about you but I work for a living and am not excited about knowing that with the Democrat plan I am sure to pay more taxes. So is anyone else making $31,000/year and up.

I hate to say this, but the race isn't over until it's over. I hope you are right though.
