McCain Campaign Offers Rewards For Turn-Key Comments

According to a story at the Washington Post, John McCain's presidential campaign is offering more than moral suasion to fire people up for a McCain presidency; they're also offering ready-made snippets of rhetoric for interested supporters to supply under their own names in public comments to online news sources and forums. Such pre-written commentary by itself is neither new nor necessarily nefarious, but it seems a bit off-kilter that prolific commenters are eligible for rewards — not just campaign swag like hats and stickers, but higher-ticket items like a ride with McCain on his campaign bus. Probably a script could be whipped up to compare the canned suggestions on the site with "grassroots" comments on political news sites around the web.

Actually, he's relaxed and comfortable. Also a slick liar.

Obama sold his soul to the Chicago Political Machine decades ago. His Justice Department is going to be a hoot.

Did Obama study throwing US Constit. out window?

Until this summer when the FISA bill came up for voting, I didn't know they taught future Constitutional Law professors the proper techniques to be used when throwing the US Constitution out a window.

Got to have proper form when you are in your Constitution throwing motion. Don't forget to keep your eyes on the Constitution as it flies through the open window. Your follow through on the throwing motion is critical.
