p.s. Jews are bad? Oh come on. Stop echoing Obama talking points...
1. So? McCain is a Senator as well. 2. No. This is a joke: Did you see that Obama raised $55-million last month? That's almost $1-million per state! 3. Lame. He's supposed to be a New Kind Of Politician. He offered to meet McCain anywhere and anytime, and then backed out of that. By your logic, I suppose McCain should just refuse to debate Obama at all, since odds are any moderator is going to be biased against McCain. Maybe you would prefer all debates be held on MSNBC? And back to the New Politician thing, one common criticism about American debates is the basic "scriptedness" of them all. Town hall meettings/debates are supposed to get the audience more involved and get the candidates to have more back and forth banter. Again, your reply is, honestly, lame, and Obama's behavior shows he is a typical politician.* 4. Either way, he decided it is better to sound like McCain. Or is he just not ready for the job? 5. What questions are within his pay rate? McCain answered the question. Why couldn't Obama? All he had to do was say (for example) "After the umbilical cord is cut." 6. Well, as someone else pointed out, Rezko apparently does not live next door to Obama. My bad. But he did buy the adjoining property, then sell part of it to Obama.

* And to make matters worse**, he a typical CHICAGO politician.

McCain is old, yet: -it's Obama who needs a week-long vacation -it's Obama who thinks there are 57 or 58 states -it's Obama who is afraid to debate McCain at 10 town-hall style meetings, after saying he would debate him anywhere and anytime.
McCain doesn't know his position on issues, yet Obama: -After his initial weaselly response on the Russian-Georgian conflict, then condemns Russia, deciding that it is better to sound like McCain. -was the only IL state senator to speak out on the statehouse floor against a measure that would prohibit "finishing an abortion" in the case of a botched abortion where the child was actually born alive, and still thinks the question of when life begins is above his pay grade.
Good lord.
I'm not necessarily a McCain supporter, but if you're going to criticize him, please come up with something better than that.
Tho I'm sure Obama knows where his house is, too. Right next door to a convicted felon. Tell me again why Gov Blago isn't speaking at the convention this week?
And last time I checked, while Obama was refusing money from oil companies, he has no problem accepting all kinds of money from oil company executives.
You're who-gives-money-to-who line is really irrelevant.
Unfortunately.
Please stop trying Repubs as the only ones who take money from oil companies. Or from any company. We can play that game all day and end up nowhere.
Actually, Republicans are (supposed to be anyways) about getting the government out of the way so that businesses and individuals can more easily succeed.
Tax breaks for "alternative energy" ARE stupid.
Look at how the price of food has gone up. It's partially because of the subsidies the gov't pays for companies to use ethanol. Thanks, gov't!
Get the gov't out of the way (largely, anyways) and let companies figure out how to solve the energy problem. It's like when California decided to, by law, phase out incandescent bulbs in the state, and then a week or two later there was a story where someone had managed to increase the efficiency of a regular bulb to be near that of a CFL. And without using mercury. Thanks, California! Brilliant!
An entire post with not one rational thought in it. Good job.
Re that Barack is Muslim: Hillary's people spread that one around. The Republicans had no need to do anything like that; it was too much fun watching all the Democrats fighting amongst themselves. And still fighting.
Re Iraq & 9-11 link: While Iraq/Saddam may have had no direct link to 9/11, there was definately a link between Saddam an al qaida. You can start with a youtube search for "abc news saddam bin laden." Also try looking up Gen Wesley Clark and get his opinion on where Bin Laden would likely run to if his Afghan base were destroyed. Your last sentence is naive and ignorant. Witness Iraq & al Qaida, and Iran & North Korea for starers.
And should I mention Rosie O'Donnel and her ilk (Kos, anyone?) who still think 9/11 was an inside job, and who still think the temperature inside the Trade Center was not hot enough to cause the buildings to collapse?
I'm going to guess you prefer Fox News to CNN or any less biased network
Less biased than Fox? If you can name one, please do so.
Remember, even Hillary has said that she got the most fair coverage during the primaries from Fox News. All the other "unbiased" networks are stumping for Obama now.
In all of that, not a single mention of the alternatives to oil. Not a single mention of nuclear power. Not a single mention of wind power. Not a single mention of solar power.
Yes!
We need a wind farm on Martha's Vineyard!!
Oh wait....Ted Kennedy stopped that, didn't he? My bad.
How could they have known that if they weren't allowed in the country to actually do the inspections?
Bill Clinton told us he had WMDs.
Hillary Clinton & John Kerry both told us he had WMDs and was an imminent threat* to the country.
-john
* please note that, to the best of my knowledge, no one in the Bush administration claimed Saddam was an imminent threat. that allegation started with Democrats.

But the notion that corruption is the norm in industry is a sign of maybe a bit of ignorance and paranoia?
Silly.

The statement has been "waterboarding is torture."
If that statement is true, then we are torturing our own people in the Armed Forces.
If the statement is not true, then what's the complaint? It is more along the lines of "agressive questioning" than "torture."
Secondly, you do realize that either type of corn would need to be grown on the same plot of land, yes?
You know what's funny, people blaming the democratic congress for all of our problems.
Funnier than people blaming Bush for all the world's problems?
" solve major issues like climate change "
I thought the issue was global warming? Now it's "climate change"?
Good luck "solving" that one....
When Navy Seals go thru waterboarding as part of their training, are they being tortured, too?

More government brilliance:
http://www.smallgovtimes.com/story/08jun12.government.work/
a) As you note, gas prices have gone up 90% in the last two years. IOW, since democrats took control of congress.
b) Please explain how taxing the oil companies is going to lower the price of gas.
Both Roberts and Alito basically lied to Congress [washingtonpost.com] to get appointed
THAT's your reference? Ted Kennedy?!?!
Good lord! This is the man who let a woman suffocate rather than own up to drunk driving and potentially ruin his political career!
The same jerk who tells us all to use "alternative" energy, then fights to keep a wind farm off of Martha's Vineyard because it would ruin his view!
Sheesh.

And by "maybe," I mean likely should have....
