John Voight is a schmuck!
Reply
Palin may be a tough-talking and yet maternal woman, but the issue is she's still on the WRONG side of the issues. That's what everyone seems to be losing sight of with all the hoopla about her kids, etc. Also, she's a Governor who's under investigation for abuse of power. Realistically, why would one of her staffers try to intimidate the head of the Troopers to fire Palin's ex-brother-in-law if he wasn't asked to do so by Palin??? Let's not forget that if John McCain is elected (God forbid) and IF he survives his term in office, he'll reverse Roe vs. Wade and reinstate the draft, among other things....not to mention probably getting us into war with Russia. It should be totally obvious that he's pandering to the Evangelicals. He's running scared of Obama and is willing, at this point, to do anything or pick anyone he thinks will get him elected...AND...how many faces of color did you see in the convention hall last night? I counted about 5 or 6. What does that say about the Repuglican party???
People, put on your thinking caps and wake up to reality. Don't be fooled by all the hype. McCain may have been a war hero, but he's as intellectually bereft as George Bush. This country needs a President with a brain. We haven't had one since Bill Clinton and are long overdue. As far as Joe Lieberman is concerned, he's a closet Repuglican and should be shot with s--t and put in jail for stinking! If I were him, I'd bring a food taster with me when I return to the Senate.-

Well written....Why is John McCain a war hero...because his plane was shot down in action? Remember, he broke down in questioning by the enemy at the time and gave in to answering all there untrue created remarks for McCain. He did this to save himself from torture. Hundreds of other american captives did not give in and absorbed the brutality. NOW THEY WERE HERO'S....JOHN MCCAIN WAS NOT.....A COWARD YES...A HERO..NO WAY!

buonefortune..so your view is that John MaCain is a coward because he served his country; spent 5 years in a 4x6 cell in absolute squalor; was beaten mercilessly on a daily basis ;and refused to leave prison early because it wasn't fair to others. What could your definition of bravery possibly be??

That's just his account of the story. There are many veterans out there that differ with this account. I think it was never investigated, because he was the son of an admiral. Do a google search on "McCain" "against" "veterans" and start reading.

I do njot know who is less informed, Jovial or Buonefortune. First, McCain cannot raise his arms above his head because of the amount of torture he endured at the hands of his RVN captors. As for being investigated, I was a member of the Operqation Homecoming Defriefing team, and we were all ordered to forget wear crimes, so even if he had said something, which he did not, he would not have been investigated. The ONLY ones who were investigated were those who gave aid and comfort to the enemy, and they were in a distinct minority, much to the credit of those who served in the US Military.

This is the account of the conditions according to his cell mate. I'm not a John McCain fan politically, but I can't deny he's a hero that loves America.

Really, and where did you get this documented information. Please show us where you got this from, because I have heard otherwise. I am thinking that you are speaking off the top of your head (& i am being nice) like a true lefty demo. Where were you in vietnam? or the gulf war or Iraq for that matter. You did serve your country? right?

How dare Jon Voight actually think for himself instead of goose stepping like the other Hollywood lemmings who can't genuflect enough to the cardboard messiah. Advocating the death of one of the few Democlowns who's willing to think for himself. Stylish. This country needs to stay away from socialism.

Perhaps you're too young to remember, but there was a real gas shortage crisis in 1973...cars were lined up for blocks, and our economy almost came to a halt. Every president since then has known we were facing an oil shortage dilemma but none of them addressed the issue, as it was a political hot potato that they avoided...caring more about public opinion than the future of our nation. Please read the comments of capecoralim below, and start thinking...really thinking. You sound bright...but are seeing the glitz, not the substance, perhaps.

Thanks, I thought you were fairly intelligent too--right up until you endorsed cape as a voice of reason. Not good. In any event, what every American has known is that EVERY time there is conflict in that region, oil prices spike dramatically 1973 oil embargo, Iraq Iran war, Kuwait invasion, etc. That's why I find it stunning that those on the right have forgotten modern history and insist on blaming this so called "shortage" on Democrats. If you destabilize oil rich regions, the price of gas will go UP. That's always happened and why cons are pretending any different is beyond me.
Reply
Let's be clear. I don't trust Republicans at all. I think they're greedy and self-serving and will lie to get a tax cut and to have a cheap tank of gas. Cons are not reasonable or logical and they are constantly proving this. You believe that Republicans have screwed you over for cheap labor yet you find it hard to conceive of the possibility that they are just as opportunistic in their pursuit of drilling for oil.
Here is reason and logic. Republicans are funded heavily by the oil companies. This alone should be a red flag and cons should understand that this is a blatant conflict of interest. Therefore their credibility is ZERO. They're trying to sustain the power of those who make it possible for THEM to stay in power and you con wing nuts act as if you don't think anyone is aware of this.
There are HUGE profits in oil and therefore there is a HUGE incentive for those who want to profit to lie, cheat, steal and do whatever is necessary to get and maintain those profits. I don't believe a word of what you're saying and I sure as hell don't believe anything cape posts. I don't trust people who are clearly willing to pimp their country for a buck and for whom no low is too low. Do not talk to me as if you think you're totally reasonable and logical because I know what cons are up to before they even know. You people absolutely cannot be trusted to run so much as a flea circus.

brother, are you serious? obama is the biggest empty headed, empty suit yet. he has no ideas, just keeps murmuring change...change what? our economy the last 8 years has set records in growth, as has the stock market. it has slowed the last year because of gas prices which has stagnated the economy. the democrat controlled congress has done nothing and refuses to drill. the gas crunch is laid at the democrats feet. all the president can do is sign into law or veto. legislation is made by congress(democrats)
Reply
obama won't wear an american flag lapel pen. why?
obama won't put his hand over his chest when the national anthem is played. why?
obama is for abortion, against life, why?
obama is less experienced than palin, yet wants to be president, not vp.
obama is a socialist, voted more liberal than any senator, including kennedy, which is saying a lot.
obama subscibes to the black liberation movement, something he was taught by jeremiah wright, which espouses hatred of whites, jews, and all about black power...it's racism in it's worst form.
with an economy that'sa lready slowing thanks to a do nothing congress, the last thing we need is a socialist who plans on raising taxes which will slow the economy more. God help us if we have to go to war with obama at the helm.-

Wow britracing, you are led to believe that the economy has failed because of GAS! You really need to wake up and realize the this economy under this current leadership has failed because of poor decisions by BUSH! He has caused a lot of issues to raised for many of year's to come. It's just didn't happen in the last year. It happen over the course of his term. Now you have someone that agreed with his views running for the same office. Not to say that who ever going to take the oath for the office is going to bring us from what we have endured for so long. It will take a miracle to correct all of this over spending and not just because of GAS so do get caught up in the hype that McBUSH could correct what these rep. and dems have took this country for. Everyone has a story and have no solution. These conventions and debates are good for only one thing. ENTERTAINMENT. Until someone get into Office and begin to give Americans back their dignity and respect, then listening to what someone could do ain't worth the small talk that they give. So I'll vote and wait to see how Obama makes the changes or McBush makes the changes or Joe or Sarah make the changes and I'll live on just as I have since I was born until my time is up on this earth. Bless Americans and Bless the one's that chooses to lead America! All this talk about who's better doesn't matter not one bit, regardless of who's there(Office) we get what we get for 4-8 years. Then we either have a 28% approval or a 90% approval that's the difference for the last 16 years for the outgoing leader and chief. (Bush now) (Clinton then). And tell me this, How in the HE double hockey stick we lose as many jobs in America in the past 2 years from 22 mil then when we had went Clinton in Office 10 years ago everything was better. If now is better then it was ten years ago, then I don't want now again. Back then I could remember when people wasn't loosing their jobs, homes, and businesses. You have people who'd you'd never thought would be out committing crimes to survive committing crimes. WOW! But anyway you have that American Right to get on here and say that because some one didn't wear a "Flag Pin" he's not qualified. That's nothing but trivia issues. But you have a canidate that's collecting Social Security and thinks there's nothing wrong with that! And you think McBush is not going to raise taxes, God help US.....

Demsrdum(actually it is republicans that are dumb), If you think Mccain is the answer that change your name to repsrdum. Mccain is part of the problem. He is for big business only, always has always will be. Mccain becames president., this country will fail. Mccain is one of the biggest liars
Reply
ever. He has no vision no new ideas nothing He is a complete zero. At least Obama has some ideas and programs to help out America.All Mccain wants to do is start more wars and enrich the military industrial complex. Mccain is not part of the solution he is a very ,very big part of the problems in this country. Learn the truth.-

Ms BKLYNBROAD,
Reply
So, you're for OH Bummer, who if elected will be a figurehead president. The executive branch will be run by committee, or most likely by Blowhard Biden. John McCain cannot reverse Roe V Wade. that's the Supreme Court's ballpark. I don't believe it will be reversed. I'd hate to see young women patronizing fly by night abortion clinics, nor abortion being criminalized again. We have enough people in prison. I am Pro-Choice. You have a choice of using condoms, IUDs, spermicides and other forms of contraceptives. Unlike OH Bummer, it is not above my paygrade to know that life begins at conception. If not, why wear condoms. It's late term or partial birth abortion I am against. Incest or rape induced pregnancies, then the mother should have that choice. If you're too lazy, too stupid,or you just succumbed to lust during a weak moment; to prevent the pregnancy, you deserve your prize. BTW, there are 57 states of Islam which OH Bummer has visited. FWIW, I will waste my vote to a man of substance rather than on an empty suit. As for Palin, it's just a chance that she'll assume the presidency. After all, she's better qualified than Pelosi whose 3rd in line. You're asking people to think; looks like you're not. Grow up and think. Vote with your head, not with what the media sez you have. -

It was under Clinton's watch that the lending institution lost their flipping minds!!!! They were loaning huge amounts of money left and right to people that had no business taking on that much debt. Now look at what is happening!!! Foreclosures everywhere. It isn't because the economy is so bad it's because these young people were lead to believe it was a free for all and they had to keep up with the Jones. Now, ten years later they are drownding in there own debt. If we would quit giving all of our money to China....something else that started when Clinton was in office, our companies wouldn't be doing as poorly as they are.

We are not "giving" money to China. We are borrowing money from them. And it didn't start under Clinton. Clinton balanced the budget and left office with a massive budget surplus.

It was the Republicans who went on a binge derulating the businesses who have been bilking the public, starting on Reagan's watch.
Stop reading those stupid emails. Start going on the government Web sites and looking at the numbers. -

Ok the investigation comment you can't even bring up. Name me one government chair holder that has not abused there power?? Look around you, all of Capitol Hill is abusing there power for anything and everything they need: republican,democrat,or liberal. And as far as being fooled, there isn't a presidential candidate that hasn't fooled the American people yet. Even Clinton stood in front of God and everyone and swore to uphold the dignity for the Presidential Office and I think we all know how long that lasted. But this is the beauty of being an American Citizen, we can all have our own opinions and then let the votes decide

Palin is fortunately on the right side of almost everything that America stands for - a true non-sociaist. She is the right person for the right job at the right time - what a breath of fresh air. She is real, a stark contrast to all the liberal phonies that talk "change", when all they want to reduce the size of your wallet and control your life. You have obviously never worked with government people - no motivation, just exist to collect a paycheck. The exact opposite of the entrepreneur. Read the story of the grasshopper and the ant - quite revealing.

Obama may have a brain, but so does Bin Laden. How can America even consider voting for a president with known ties to terrorists and criminals - it boggles the mind -

The only issue Paline discussed was what McCain DID in his younger days or what Obama had not done or was not going to do. Don't worry about that just let us know what you all are planning on doing, because name calling and knit picking has never gotten anyone far and that is not even important what McCain did let us know what he is going to do NOW!!!!!
