I'm also still mystified as to why anyone thinks John McCain will make anything better, given the economic and political hole Dubya has dug for us over the last 7+ years.El Angelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14145024095815950963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-303985246257353062008-08-23T21:20:00.000-04:002008-08-23T21:20:00.000-04:00Steve said...Most of the millions who support Obam...Steve said...Most of the millions who support Obama do so because he is obviously very intelligent and learned, a good listener who takes others' views seriously, non-ideological, and committed to forging a society that is more fair and better balanced economically. <BR/><BR/>That! is some FUNNY stuff.<BR/><BR/>non-ideological The most Liberal Senator.non-ideological.<BR/>ha ha ha ha ha...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-9302339805154911022008-08-23T15:53:00.000-04:002008-08-23T15:53:00.000-04:00I don't know how much you people are into horse ra...I don't know how much you people are into horse racing but I don't think you want John Kyl bringing an internet gambling bill to John McCain for his signature.<BR/>RGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-57717283476445002772008-08-23T15:41:00.000-04:002008-08-23T15:41:00.000-04:00Do you mean socialist as some sort of insult? If ...Do you mean socialist as some sort of insult? If so, I presume you'll duly return any social security, medicare & medicaid money when the time comes -- these are indeed socialist programs and were labelled as such and opposed vociferously by republicans at the time of their enactment, as were minimum wage and child labor laws.<BR/><BR/>If you hate socialism, you can't vote for McCain because he isn't exactly calling for doing away with any of the above. He knows better. Without making socialistic reforms within the capitalist system, capitalism wouldn't have come out of the depression and would have been overthrown by fascists or communists.<BR/><BR/>And, ahem, do you perhaps have a little problem with race? Why would you presume one could only support Obama out of guilt? Is it so hard for you think no black could be truly deserving on his own merits? Or that he is a black candidate who will really serve all people, not just blacks? Most of the millions who support Obama do so because he is obviously very intelligent and learned, a good listener who takes others' views seriously, non-ideological, and committed to forging a society that is more fair and better balanced economically. And he had the wisdom and courage to oppose the invasion of Iraq -- just about everything he said in his 2002 speech on the topic has been proven correct. <BR/><BR/>Maybe you're wealthy enough that you will really benefit from the McCain tax cut. Or maybe you need to turn Mr. Limbaugh off for a few hours and live in the real world.steve in nchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04061356872686618093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-22287975862414537662008-08-23T12:26:00.000-04:002008-08-23T12:26:00.000-04:00I second the Baron Von Tap in the 7th.

I guess the number of houses you own is the big Democratic issue for today. One of my big issues is the cost of fuel. I just paid $37 to fill up a Honda Civic. <BR/>If Joe needs another house he can contact BO’s realtor Tony Rezko – when he gets out of jail.<BR/>For those of you going to the simulating at the Big M today remember it closes at 5:30 because of the football game there tonight.
