Whopee!   Obama wins!   Thanks McCain.  You put a woman , who was a mayor 4 years ago,on the ticket of a man 74 years old with one foot in the grave.  Second in command?  And the Republicans want to talk about experience? All this says is McCain thinks Democratic women are stupid.  He gambling that most of those 8 million votes that Hillary had will make their way into his pocket.  This is a man who can make good judgements?  Give me a break!

    " To Civically-Minded,
    Clinton reduced our military to a mere shell! The Obamassiah will emasculate it! He is ALL for a "One World Order", to follow George Soros's "money". He wants the U.N. to be the World's Police Force! We, the American Public, will NOT be allowed to own firearms! They will be afraid we will revolt again!! "

I find this especially stomach churning because I see how much Louisiana needs professional government such as Obama for restoration of our wetlands and the implementation of the Green Economy! Louisiana keeps putting the McSame Corporate Scum Bags in office that keep destroying our state and our people. How in the world is that Pro-Life?

    Geaux Obama! "

Now it's frickin almost.$5.00-Priceless. $10 billion dollars a week we spending another country when we need to be fixing our own roads schools and infrastructure. Sure elect McCain McSame and it's at least 4 more years of this crap we call the United States of America. "

    Even I know Fox News is owned by Rupert Murdock who is a HUGE Republican supporter. Last week I saw a Fox reporter try to say that that the reason McCain is not using a computer or doesn't know how to is because of his war wounds. Please stop using that as an excuse ok. My nephew is a Iraq War Veteran and has no arms and uses a computer with a mouth piece. Why is this guy so closed minded that he can't even try to learn some computer skills like the rest of us. "

    One way to prevent war is to prepare for it. That's not to say that there are not some dumb somebody’s out there. I believe in being over prepared unlike X president Clinton who tore down our military to the barest minimum. Bush had his job cut out for him to take on 9-11. "

    " To Mary,
    To tell the truth, I've NOT heard of her having any support of the "Bridge...".

    So I cannot answer you.

    Can you tell me where to find this info? "

    " To Brain:
    Just remember the Bridge to Nowhere was in Alaska and when Palin was first running for office she supported it. Now she's against it. Oh, now who's a flip-flopper for the wind of the day? "

    " Do you guys have a brain? All you are doing is cutting down the women. What if Hillary were Obama's running mate? First, Palin will have a nanny and her husband to take care of the children. Your head is in the sand!!! True MEN do take care of their children. It is not just the woman's responsibility. Palin will do a great job with McCain. You democrats are just jealous that Obama did not choose Clinton as his running mate. THAT would have been a BIG mistake. "

    " Omg, the Dems are spinning their own views against them. Look at the blatant sexism from even our local dems. "She can't be president because she might be changing diapers" that is truly an awful statement. I will spin in the other way because I care not what you smug internet people think of me. Obama would be to busy to answer the phone call about a nuke because its the first of the month and he needs to take his black behind down to the liquor store to cash his food stamps and then sell em for dope.

    " TC-- Answer a few questions regarding Obama's judgment to fund raise with Bill Ayers.

    Would you argue that Ayers' radicalism was 40 years ago and therefore he (Ayers) gets a pass?

    Put yourself in Obama's shoes--imagine yourself as he.

    Knowing what you do about Ayers, would you still associate with him? I assume you know plenty about Ayers.

    I'll hear your argument, but I'm ready to raise the bar. The point would be mute however, if you have no educated opinion on the matter. "

    What this country REALLY NEEDS, is a President, Senate, AND Congress that WILL follow the Constitution, and NOT the "slime-ball" PAC'S!
    Why do you think even the Republicans were against Ron Paul! HE is a Constitutionalist! Look at his political record, it speaks for itself!
    The commities one gets put on, can make or break a future candidacy.

    Mary, by the way, I am a STRICT "law and order" person! I STILL cheer during re-runs of cops, when they take down the cretins, curmudgeons, and dregs of polite society!

    Also, I'm-so-far-right, I'm holding YOUR left hand!{Ha,HA,LOL} "

    " To Mary,
    The Dems ARE gaining ground! But, in my opinion, it is because they are buying the votes! Let's face it, if the Obamassiah keeps telling you HE will be your savior, you will believe him. If the Dems get control of the House/Senate/Pres, then they CAN raise my taxes to give to slackers! So, IF the slackers want a "raise", they will vote for their Obamassiah!
    AND...ALL politicians ARE afraid to take on the ILLEGAL ALIENS! They are afraid they will lose their {nationality} vote! So, WE cannot expect "Washington" to save/protect US!!! "

    If our government had a multi-billion dollar surplus, maybe some of it went into "pork" futures? I mean, look at what some senators and congressmen try to push on the American people as being necessary! Bridge to nowhere, Ak. Putting a highway through farmland, which the politician owns some of the land, Even when there is already a highway in place!
    How much money do we have to spend on a FAILED social "experiment", called welfare and food stamps?

    I know,you'll blame it ALL on the war! "

    Boy are they in trouble! I've just run out of Pamprin, and the pharmacy hasn't dropped off my Estrogen and Progesterone meds yet! "

    " To Mary,
    So our deficit is going down the tubes? When WE, The USA STOPS ALL funding of foreign governments, we will have enough money to go around! We should NOT be taxing OUR citizens more, just to bail out our own slackers! If they want a raise, get a better job! Don't tax my "donkey", for the benefit of the people who did NOT take advantage of the FREE bus ride to the FREE school! Read the Constitution, it clearly states, "tax money to be spent IN the country; outside-country-spending, ONLY for Ambassadors" {paraphrasing}! "

    " Obama will lose in a landslide! McCain just turned a very close election into a sure victory by a large margin. But Obama had his chance to win. If he would have chose Hillary he would have won the Presidency, but he just turned down 18 million votes and handed them over to McCain. Plus McCain and Palin are much more qualified then Obama Biden. "

    " To the Brain: Wish you had one. You far-right extremists make me sick as a moderate. It's no wonder the Democrats are gaining ground. Same old rhetoric. The Dems tax and spend. Why don't you do a little research and see that Govmt. has grown in the last 8 yrs. and we've gone from a multi-billion dollar surplus to a multi-trillion dollar deficit. "

    After all, Senators, Congressmen, the veep AND the Pres. ALL are sworn in and are suppossed to uphold the Constitution of the U.S. BUT it is the Dems who are trying to REMOVE and/or CHANGE the Constitution to suite their OWN agenda!!

    So, John McCain picks a woman to be his Veep, and suddenly he becomes senile? If you did ANY kind of research on Palin, you would know she has MORE experience than either Biden or "your" Obamassiah! She HAS run a business, A town, a state, and family responsibilities! Your choice, BHussein Oblahblah, as a "Lawyer", he went to court approx.20 times, and LOST every case! Are you one of those who stands to get a "raise" after the Dem's tax increases go into affect?
