		<description>Yes, the evil Annenberg foundation; its funding of Sesame Street probably made me the radical socialist that i am today. Where was Obama&#039;s real birth place...please don&#039;t tell me it was the Panama Canal Zone, wait, that was where John McCain was born.

Charles Keating, Liddy, lobbyists for Saddam Hussein...jeez, i could go on but i don&#039;t have all day either.

And i&#039;m no Obama fan, but most of this stuff is either crap or the political same old same old right across the aisle. Of course, Obama never violated the Military Code of Conduct and collaborated with the enemy, but he is - apparently - a socialist and that&#039;s much worse...or so i hear.</description>

		<description>Spycake,
Ayers, The Annenberg project, His shady real estate dealings, cronyism, sweetheart deals, direction of federal funds to supporters, his real birthplace, Chicago Thug Politics,  ACORN, his wife&#039;s sudden raise in pay grade when he became a senator and diverted funds to her employer,.....I could go on, but I don&#039;t have all day.

		<description>I am going to central america next year on 4-months of volunteer work.  By then, the US will have a new president.

If Obama wins, I will visit your country, meet your people, and pump my hard-earned money into your struggling economy.

If McCain wins, I&#039;m giving the US a miss, and losing even more respect for the 51% majority of American people.  I will just hope not too many of your children are raised by single mothers after you invade Iran.</description>

		<description>Steve, every intelligent Republican I know (and hey, it&#039;s a red, red state) now prefaces any remark about Palin with, &quot;She&#039;s a wonderful woman and a great mother, but...&quot;  Even among the faithful, she&#039;s gone straight to &quot;Bless her heart.&quot; That&#039;s pretty fatal.

On the other hand, McCain not only escaped unindicted from the S&amp;L brouhaha, he was re-elected. Handily. 

I&#039;m going for &quot;C&quot; this time.</description>

		<description>Jeff:

Please explain how the media has failed to &quot;investigate&quot; Obama over the last two years.  You do realize that if there is no serious connection between him and Ayers, there isn&#039;t much for the media to conclude?  Unless they simply fabricate it (insert joke about Dan Rather here) -- I hope we&#039;re not blaming the media for that now, are we?  And if Rev. Wright is just a crazy loud-mouthed preacher, there really isn&#039;t a whole lot to report there either.  Some wild stuff has been said at my longtime church too, but you&#039;d have a dilly of a pickle attributing any of it to me, because I&#039;m fairly passive in that environment.

I guarantee that the &quot;so-called mainstream media&quot; would not hold back if there was any shred of a serious problem in any of these controversies.  This is a very active media, regardless of partisan leanings, and such a story -- if true -- would be the scoop of the century for any media outlet.  (Such a story, proven false, could also be its ruin -- insert Dan Rather joke here.)  But there hasn&#039;t been any true, meaningful revelations yet, nor does any appear to be forthcoming given the facts of the stories: it&#039;s all been very tangential &quot;guilt by association&quot; or worse, just bogus rumors and innuendo.  This applies too to the continued belief that the media is &quot;gun-shy&quot; and holding back on some sort of bombshell because it fears the repercussions if it is false, a very unlikely proposition given the size and activity of the modern media.

I don&#039;t like to invoke the specter of McCarthyism, but McCain repeatedly bringing up Ayers and demanding that the American people need to know the full extent of their relationship is a little creepy.  It&#039;s &quot;guilty until proven innocent,&quot; it doesn&#039;t work in a successful judicial system, and likewise it doesn&#039;t work in an even mildly constructive and responsible media or political discourse.</description>

		<description>Neither McCain nor Obama have your best interest in mind! They are servants for the global elite. Their job is to enslave you without you knowing it. In the interview Obama claimed it would take a 40% flat sales tax rate of 40% to properly fund the government. That is wrong and he is lying to us. Dr. Ron Paul has stated a 23% sales tax rate would be sufficient because large corporations are the ones who spend the most money. Don&#039;t let these crooks enslave us and take away our liberties. Vote for Bob Barr, write in Ron Paul. STOP BEING SHEEP.</description>

		<description>As a libertarian (lower case), I didn&#039;t want anything to do with John McCain. He was the absolute last choice for all the Republicans I know as well. Somehow the media got him nominated, and now we&#039;re faced with the choice of barf soup or a shit sandwich.

I love the description of 0bama as &#039;accomplished&#039;. Name one. A flim-flam man from the south side of Chicago, he&#039;s adored as the answer to all the problems of an economically troubled nation (Germany, 1933?), with his linebacker-in-drag wife who has to dress carefully to hide her &#039;Kill Whitey&#039; tatoo.

As for the blog admonition, &#039;Think--it ain&#039;t illegal yet...&#039;, no, but it will be soon, and it will come from the left.</description>

		<description>Once it became clear that Joe-the-Plumber wasn&#039;t what he was claiming... one of &quot;us&quot; (i.e. the cool kids who make over $250K), McCain dropped him like one of his crashing jets and went to look for his newest BFF, a REAL rich dude... enough of these peasants who don&#039;t deserve tax breaks</description>

JOE THE UNLISCENSED “SCAB” PLUMBER
JOE THE NON-UNION, UNLISCENED, SCAB PLUMBER  gives a bad name for Unionized Journeymen  plumbers.

Using McCain’s 6-Day 10hr shifts Joe could have made in excess of $250,000.00 WITHOUT EVEN OWNING THE BUSINESS!

You say how? An PRIMARY &quot;A&quot; DIVISION JOURNEYMEN in LOCAL #1 makes $80.26 per hr (including benefits) X 6 days a week 10 hrs a day = $3,210.40 Regular Time + 20 hrs OT @ $120.29 = $2405.80 = $5616.20 x 52= $292,042.40!

So JOE THE &quot;SCAB&quot; PLUMBER could pay his TAXES and get a new van if he was a PROUD AMERICAN  &quot;A&quot; DIVISION JOURNEYMEN in LOCAL #1. 

Don&#039;t believe the numbers? Call the Joint board and check! 

(718) 752-9630 or I can post a link to the wages.

Good Luck JOE THE UNLISCENSED “SCAB” PLUMBER”

Vote Union Today = OBAMA 2008!</description>
