I find it quite insulting that the GOP thinks it can pillage the American people. Then again, maybe it can. If the public does not wake up and pay attention to what is going on in reality, we are doomed as a society. Why in the world would you elect a sell-out Repub and a conservative extremist after the last 8 years? I guess the GOP figured that if their campaign wasn't working, they would just steal the other guys slogan. Change? How does McCain represent change? He's old, out of touch and has been in Washington forever. I find it appalling that Palin attacked Biden because he is a "Washington creature." Hmmm, so is McCain. Maybe she didn't know that because she doesn't seem to know much. It is also insulting that the person who could be the next VP of the US is being hideden from public scrutiny. Obviously the McCain camp wants her out of the real media spotlight until A. they know more about her since they decided not to vet her and B. she actually learns about national issues. By the way, is Cindy McCain taking those painkillers again? If the best thing you can say about your VP candidate's foreign policy experience is that she governed the state geographically closest to Alaska, she should not be VP. I don't think the American people understand how devastating this election could be if McCain wins. As a college student, if he wins, I am seriously considering moving to another country... at least for a while. I will have lost faith in American democracy if the McCain-Palin ticket wins. With so much work to be done, how will electing a guy who bragged about voting with Bush more than 90% of the time going to help us? On another note, with so many weaknesses in the GOP ticket, if the Democrats can't take advantage of it I will be disappointed in our party as well. Senator Obama: enlist my help. If the GOP wants to play hardball we can play too. Instead of attacking experience or (good) personality, we can attack issues in a cutthroat manner. There are ways to approach issues on the atack and on the defensive. Obama should attack McCain on EVERY SINGLE ISSUE at the debates. He has no revolutionary plan. He has no change. He has no way to help this country. Expose him for who he is: a liar, a sell-out, a panderer and a typical Washington Repub. Please, the future of the greatest country in the world is at stake. How do empires fall? Failure of internal infrastructure and overextension abroad. Hm, sounds like us right now. Unless you want to live in a world dominated by China, Russia and Japan, vote for Barack Obama, the REAL candidate for change.

Until tomorrow,
A TRUE believer in democracy

Ultimately - people get the government they deserve.

I would say that ultimately people get the government that SOME of them deserve.

Count me as one who KNOWS that I don't deserve another second more of Republican leadership.

No, unfortunately, he's right. Since we're forced to include the midwest and south as part of the United States and lower the national intelligence by 20% (but raise our levels of blind faith by 100%) we deserve these "RepubliChrists" as our government. Had we leaned heavy on education in the states where they share the same tooth, perhaps enlightenment can replace "the light". Next Democrat to win the White House needs to educate these states of confusion...

Yes - like Nixon's "silent majority."

Translation - there aren't enough people really complaining to keep me from doing what I want to do.

Silence IS approval.

Americans always vote Republican

This is real. Even in 1992 and 1996 they voted Republican, except Ross Perot spoiled the party.

Don't kid yourselves; ask yourself when was the last time we (Americans) scrutinized a Republican candidate as much a Democratic one?

We questioned Gore if he were real enough?

We questioned Kerry if he were patriotic enough?

And now, we are questioning Obama if he is experienced enough?

These are things that are fed to our brains through the so called liberal media (engineered by the consevative think tanks behind them) and we accept them as lgitimate facts.

I truly believe that if McCain is elected, we have to kiss goodbye the Democratic party and the Constitution as we know it.

You can't say "is McCain young enough?" because it's not PC. Anything you say is not PC... as long as it's aimed to the right. Aim left, and you can say anything you want... from flag pins to bowling pins... What did the Democrats do when they left the White House...? They removed the letter "w" from all the keyboards. What did the Republicans do? They've managed to make elections a fraudulent undertaking aimed at disenfranchising the voices of the majority and melt the minds of the south and midwest to the point of no return. Who's the winner here? Certainly not logic... Certainly not common sense... Just the Jesus freaks, oilers, and war-sters... Anyone have tickets to Canada for sale?
