so far in this campaign, is outright lies, negativity, and fear. IMHO, both sides have been doing the exact same thing. :roll: And my question is do the people who 'run' these campaigns actually think the majority of people fall for that kind of crap?? :evil: They obviously do. How else did the rig...

Oh, well, hell, that seals it. He's DEFINATELY qualified to be president. I expected a snide remark there after being wrong. Glad that you are being educated though... you really ought to learn as much about a candidate as possible instead of just assuming. Reading his entire About page at http://o...

I didn't see the interview but did she answer any questions by saying "that's above my pay grade" like Obama did a couple of weeks ago? No but she did say that she has foreign policy experience with Russia because you can see Russia from Alaska. So she's seen Russia more than Barack Obama...

She clearly had no idea what the Bush Doctrine was. Many people don't, but someone who is running to be VP of the United States should know that. Joe Biden already stated (to Anderson Cooper sometime back) that HE had no idea what the Bush Doctrine was. I thought THAT was odd, since, he's not only ...

I thought the interview was tough, but fair. She needed to be asked tough questions. To me though, her answers sounded canned, like she was just reciting what she had been taught the last 7-10 days by the Bush advisers that were following her around, prepping her on foreign policy (true story). She ...

McCain appears to be at odds with his running mate on what he has made one of his biggest issues... pork barrel spending and earmarks: http://dyn.politico.com/printstory.cfm?uuid=4E2E5BFD-18FE-70B2-A815903CFF648F68 “We’re not going to spend $3 million of your tax dollars to study the DNA of bears in...

Re: Interesting radio piece

On my drive between jobs today, I heard a piece on NPR about the McCain's current campaign strategy. The statement was that he was "Swift boating" Obama by running right at his strength, ie stating that he is the candidate of change. I hope that the people are smart enough to see through ...
