    No, no, if it had been Obama or Biden's daughter, then they would have had the baby killed and the Left would have swooned over how they uphold their Liberal views in their daily life.

    The American people are tired of partisanship.

    The Democrats solutions to problems is to have an overwhelming majority so that their looniest socialist ideas can be rubber-stamped by a Democrat president.

    It was a bad idea when "small government" Republicans had that control, it will be worse with a bunch of Democrats that will send men with guns to take our money to support their socialist programs.

    The Democrats are promoting divisive class warfare in order to get into power, by punishing the successful through redistributing their wealth.

    Who cares about the individual approval rating of the members? If they are so partisan that they can't work with the other side, then they deserve the low Congressional approval ratings and should all be thrown out.

    IMO, the only laws that should get passed, would be reasonable ones that both parties agree with.

    (I'm voting for gridlock. The less Congress can get done, then the less stupid laws they can pass.)

    Did you bother to even look at PEPFAR? Bush doesn't get enough credit for his African Aids relief efforts.

    "To slow the spread of the epidemic, PEPFAR supports a variety of prevention programs: the ABC approach (Abstain, Be faithful, and correct and consistent use of Condoms); prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) interventions; and programs focusing on blood safety, injection safety, secondary prevention ("prevention with positives"), counseling and education."

    How can anyone take seriously a candidate where his supporters spread such lies?

    That's right, make fun of a war hero that sustained permanent injuries while serving his country. A simple Google check would have shown why it is extremely difficult for him to use a keyboard. You would think that Barry knows how to use Google and would have known this before releasing his attack ad. Or maybe he does, and likes to attack cripples, like he attacks women and bitter people that cling to guns and religion.

    Do you seriously think that a Naval Officer TRAINED TO FLY FIGHTER JETS and TAKEOFF/LAND ON AIRCRAFT CARRIERS doesn't have the mental capacity to use Google Mail?!!!

    I'm wondering about the mental capacity of some of these Slashdot posters.

    I recall a previous charismatic leader that was elected in the 1930s, that had few accomplishments other than writing a book about himself. He had a funny moustache and didn't even come from their country! But he sure taught those oppressive French, Brits, Poles, Russians, etc. a lesson.

    I lived in Alaska for 5 years and never heard Wasilla pronounced as Wasilly. As so many of BO's "regrets", he got caught, again, revealing his true feelings.

    Obviously, the BO camp wasn't taking Sarah seriously and tried to trivialize her accomplishments. A Freudian slip, if you will.

    Obama is just another political hack. His constant lies reveal his insincerity. I don't believe he truly is a racist for associating with Rev Wright for 20 years, but joined the church to achieve black cred. He wasn't black enough for Chicago politics. Now that he doesn't need it any more, he simply dropped it.

    The One is an empty suit. He has accomplished nothing other than writing books about himself.

    As the most liberal members of Congress, BO and Biden have not shown any evidence of working across the aisle, like McCain has. America is tired of partisan politics. The Democrat party has chosen the most liberal members of Congress and plan on ramming all of their bad ideas through, overriding any opposition with no regard to compromise. This will not happen. Why do you think this Democratic Congress has the lowest approval rating in history? It's pretty embarrassing to have a lower approval rate than Bush ...

    Of course, when the Socialist Democrat ideas get rejected, again, they will claim it is because of racism. You guys really need to get a clue. There's a reason why McCain/Palin have jumped ahead of BO, and it's not because of racism.

    Ah, yes, and when the Democrats were in the minority they always tried to work across the aisle. Like when Bush tried to fix Social Security to keep it from going bankrupt (which is still a problem everyone is ignoring).

    No, the Democrats are not interested in working out a compromise and only want to hammer their idealogy through whatever manner they can. Hence their call for a filibuster-proof majority. You can continue your lies (Bush *has* signed legislation), but we know the truth.

    To "Swiftboat" someone, is to reveal a candidate's lies by telling the truth.

    The Swiftboaters were not sued for libel, hence they were telling the truth.

    But when you tell the truth about Democrats, then you are accused of lying.

    Kerry lied and was caught. That really pissed off the MSM and the Democrats.

    New Orleans has had decades of corrupt, incompetent Democrat rule. They couldn't follow their own evacuation plans, so instead they want to blame the Feds. You notice that the disasters since then have not been blamed on the Feds? That's because those people are used to depending on themselves instead of the government, and they don't have the corruption problems that exist in New Orleans.

    The Democrats have controlled Congress the last two years. All the pork barrel spending they have tacked on is not helping the economy. What have they done the last two years to help it? This Democrat Congress has the lowest approval rating in history, even lower than the President you vilify. How can anyone justify giving these people total control of government?

    Don't forget the 3000 Americans that have died in the towers. So, over 6000 Americans have died to terrorists. (And more than 10 times that of the enemy.) I am proud that our soldiers have been fighting the terrorists (and kicking their ass) in Iraq instead of here. It is amazing how few soldiers have died. Compare this to any other war we have had.

    Over 250,000 people have died on our highways since the war started and these deaths were not involved in keeping us safe. Many more will die on our highways as MPG restrictions require cars to be lighter. What is the Democrat Congress doing about the 43,000+ people that die on our highways every year?

    I know, you are accusing me of fear-mongering by talking about the terrorists, but you brought it up. Let's get back to the Al Gore fear-mongering due to Global Warming^h^h^h^h^h^h^hChange.

    Democrats aren't heavy spenders? Take a look at the Washington state economy, where the Democrats control everything. We have the largest gas tax in the nation and state spending has gone through the roof! We are having record deficits now; we had a budget surplus when she started.

    2 years ago our liberal Governor took credit for how well our economy was going. She can now take credit for trashing it.

    The problem with the Republicans is that they controlled everything and let the power go to their head. I firmly believe we cannot let one party control everything like we did before. Washington state is a perfect example what will happen if the Democrats control everything.

    The Democratic Congress's approval rating is lower than Bush's! And you want to give them *more* power?!!!

    That's not quite true. Democrats blame guns for the problem, not criminals.

    Republicans agree with your position that people should be charged with a higher crime if they use a gun to commit a felony. We are trying to protect law-abiding people, not criminals. Lock them up for the rest of their life, for all I care.

    The current problem is that existing gun laws are not being enforced, and gun charges are plea-bargained away.
