Presidential Politics :)

Yeah, Carl, I saw that one on the news.....does nothing to change my mind about her..... LOL....

Bel, they removed it so I couldn't watch it.....

McCain is being a total Bonehead!!!

I just saw McCain's speach where he blames Obama for injecting politics into the bailout resolution process.....total rubbish!!! Last week, Obama attempted to get a bi-partisan solution released between himself and McCain.....and instead of trying to do that, McCain pulls a political stunt to undercut Obama by announcing that he's suspending his campaign, going to Washington to help with a resolution, and invites Obama to do the same.....for no other reason but to make himself look like he cares more about this country and make Obama look weak.....

Bush ended up inviting both McCain and Obama to a meeting where Obama led off by setting guidelines to follow for a bailout proposal.....and McCain ended up saying absolutely nothing during this meeting.....

Not too long ago, McCain admitted in a speech that he didn't know much about ecomonics.....he was right about that.....and it shows. McCain's campaign advisors are the ones "pulling the strings" to whatever McCain says about the economy......

The whole underlying problem with the bailout is that the House Republicans are trying to force the Democrats to push it through.....so the Rupublicans can go back to their constituents (who don't want the bailout) and say that they didn't vote for it.....

Picking Palin to get the women's vote was bad.....but these desperate political stunts have made me loose all respect for McCain.....

I can't say it enough.....McCain should have taken Romney as his running mate.....would have played perfectly into the current economic crisis.....

Prediction: Romney will be president in four years after Obama!!!

Very true.....McCain did nothing on his own to get where he is now.....his wife's father set him up running a beer distributorship.....and all seven of his houses where paid for with his wife's inheiritance.....which explains alot of why McCain acts like a spoiled rich kid with a temper.....

LOL..... Actually alot of truth to that.....

Does that mean I didn't miss anything??? .....

i didnt watch the debates. there were far better things to watch, like cartoons and commercials.

but my dad said today that he was impressed with her. then again, he hates obama, so anything the republicans do is going to sound good to him.

I read the transcript afterwards (much faster than watching it *snooze*). Palin seemed almost literally incapable of answering any questions, more 'maverick' rhetoric mostly, that and wanting to not look back at what her running mate had voted for/against in the past but constantly mentioning what her opponent's running mate had voted for/against. Really tedious stuff. Almost as bad as the main one last week when Mc Cain kept piling on the false accusations about Obama's voting record and making Obama waste his rebuttal time correcting Mc Cain's nonsense. I can't wait til Obama wins the coin toss to start, Mc Cain's f*cked then, cause as long as Obama just talks about his own plans and what he wants to do as president and doesn't mention Mc Cain or his voting record, then Mc Cain will literally have nothing to say ha-ha.

McCain is toast.....should have listened to me and taken Romney.....

Hey, I'm on your side.....

I am a Republican-leaning Independent who wanted Romney for president.....because of his stance on economics, national security, immigration, and healthcare. Romney was the first to start a universal healthcare program here in Massachusetts.....and it's now proven to be a very successful model for it......even though it is creating a budget deficit.....

Obama is the 'lesser of two evils' to me as well.....but I do like his healthcare plan......and I especially like his ideas on wiping out the terrorists in Pakistan and Afganistan as a means to finally ending the war in Iraq. I believe if you don't do this first, the war in Iraq is going to go on forever.....because they will keep on sending terrorist factions into Iraq from Afganistan and Pakistan if they are not "nipped in the bud". Further, I agree with Obama's idea to just go in and get them if those governments try to do do anything to stand in the way of it. I don't care how it makes us look with the international community.....this GD war needs to be brought to an end by any means possible.....so we can start attending to the huge problems going on right here at home.....

i dont know, steve, nader hasnt dropped out yet.

Speculation on Senator Obama's info-mercial tonight:

Topic: How despite saying things that may be construed as Marxist I am actually more like Ronald Regan than you might think . All those comments about distributing wealth was mis-interpreted...

Good luck Senator Obama, the nation isn't really listening much anyways so whatever... Go Yankees!

I've never seen the Republicans being this desperate before.....man, talk about making some serious leaps to unsubstantiated conclusions. I had to laugh when Obama stated ".....next, John McCain will be calling me a communist because I shared my peanut butter and jelly sandwich with someone in Kindegarten....." LOL.....

Palin is a complete disaster.....stating that they should put money into finding cures for Autism, etc......then stating that they should cut funding for research on fruitflies. Come to find out, the fruitfly research is with proteins towards finding a cure for Autism, etc. She is a total moron who doesn't have a clue about anything.....accept for spewing soundbytes as McCain's lapdog!!!

I can't believe that some are calling Palin the future of the Republican Party.....as the potential Republican presidential nominee in 2012.....they must be out of their frick'n minds!!! The Republicans might as well nominate 'Crusty the Clown'.....the stupidity couldn't get any worse......

well, obama wins it!

now dont go all optimistic on me, jffe. i think that would scare the children

Romney, pfffttt, Obama again in 2012 by 70% instead of 60% this time if he does half what he said he would ha-ha Seriously though, am I the only one still going wow, the majority grew a brain (or lost enough retirement money ha-ha) and voted for the smarter of 2 evils this time ??
