You had to love her debate for the Joe Sixpack's of the world---Instead of having phone s.e.x. she was having TV s.e.x. with them as she winked and licked lips and did the little low half-hand wave, and smiled her way into the seduced hearts of the lonely hearts club slurping their beers at local bars across America---what a treat to watch. BUT IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPID--I'M VOTING FOR OBAMA and BIDEN in '08!!! You should too when you sober up.

What the heck did Palin say on that one and only phone call she had with McCain to convince him such a light weight could be trusted to be his running mate let alone be trusted to be a heart beat away from the presidency?

How gullible and naive is John McCain?

I'm one of those "ol farts SwampFox-82nd. If it wasn't for us and those older then us, you would not have the freedom to make your remarks. You have demonstrated that you are vermin, traitor, war criminal and a dumb ass.

If Gov. Palin supposedly taking $25,000 in gifts makes you mad, you should be livid over the fact that Obama took over $110,000 from those who started our current economic crisis. You should be livid about his association with an individual who is proud of blowing up government buildings and private homes. That is treason! Poor people give Obama campaign money which Obama turns around and gives to an organization such as Acorn. Thats vermin. If you are so concerned about this country, put away your bigotry and look at Obama.-

Interestingly, the $110K was in legal campaign donations. McCain has taken in over $400K throughout his career.

Also, it is not like Ayers is OBL and a family friend/business associate of the Bush family. How many Americans did OBL kill? What did bush do with the Bin Ladin family immediately after 9/11 when the FBI was rounding up all arabs for interrogation? The Bush`s have a closer family connection with the terror funding Saudis than Obama has with Ayers, who never even hurt a single American.
Your anger is such transparent BS and your righteousness is lost on thinking Americans.
McCain is the real vermin. By voting against troop funding, against VA funding five times (yeah he screwed you too), against equal down time for troops, and against armor McCain showed his true traitorous colors. He was even against the New GI bill because it would give our troops too much opportunity.
So, no, if you can put your country ahead of your own bigotry for a moment, you will see that there is no choice but Obama at this point.

Politicians make me tired. Of course they take anything they can, they are intrinsically greedy. Then comes the next question, If things are not given to them, do they simply take them? Lie,cheat, steal.

The good news is they carry these sins with them through eternity. To a place there is nothing to kick-back to them, no designer clothes, no one to lie to, no one to plea for mercy to.
