McCain should be polling similar numbers with Bush, shouldn't he?
His foreign policy and economic policy is just more Bush. Bush is so low in the polls, and everything Bush did is a flop in war and economics. So why is McCain as high in the polls as he is ???
Are Republicans mostly voting against Roe VS Wade ??? Will God finally bless America and things will turn around if all abortion is stopped? Is that the Republican game plan (that's how I grew up but maybe that was mostly a right-wing Lutheran thing)?
How is McCain a maverick?
p.s. Obama doesn't have to be a maverick. Obama CAN vote often with his own party. The Democratic party isn't unpopular right now - the Republican party is.

How did Bush win a second term?
Pssst. He's not Black and his VP choice is rumored to have a nice backside AND...umm...there is a certain percentage of complete morons out there that would vote for a kitten if it was the GOP choice (I call it personal pussy popularity politics or P4 for short). The P4 people don't give two bat whistles for this country or for thinking on their own.
"Do some people think that getting shot down and living to tell about it is what make you a better Commander And Chief than someone who hasn't been shot down before ???"
I can get two shots down in 30 seconds. Maybe I can be Secretary of State. I'm more qualified for that than Palin is for VP.
" I would vote for her cute nose if I couldn't control myself. "
GAK! Steady breakfast.......steeaaaddddddyyyy.
The worse and lowest thing I have heard Obama say about McCain is that he is too old fashioned to email (that was a very stupid ad, I thought).
Obama is a socialist Muslim terrorist wanna-be hung like an acorn?
If McCain wins, we'll get to spend the next 4 years with the Righties on this site gloating. If Obama wins, we get 4 years of Righties kicking puppies and blaming every ill in the world on Obama.
No matter what happens, it's just going to be brutal and ugly.
This has been another jot of the sunburnt wisdom of John McSame.
My dog is, by definition, a bitch. She has a cute nose.
I give you this: Palin knows how to sit, stay, shake hands and keep her mouth shut.
Oh wait! So does my dog.
Well...my dog doesn't have pregnant puppies still in obedience school. THAT much I know.
45% of democrats and 45% will vote along party lines 9 out of 10 election or once otherwise every 40 years. This year is a normal year. Obama should get 45, McCain 45. They are fighting for the remaining 10%.
Considering that, McCain is falling short. No poll is giving him 45%.
Because you keep an eye on them puppies ??? You don't just let them run the back fields of Alaska howling at the moon ???
(and, yes, dogs have the most adorable noses !!!!!!!)
Yes indeed Obama is far more Bush than anyone wants to dare imagine. And Biden? Just another Chaney. Keep on repeating “Bush is evil.”
And what praytell will all of you who vote for Senator Obama do? Be all sweet and nice? Cut the crap and get a clue. Quit the name calling. It's getting old and we're all tired of the same old people saying the same old rude and crude stuff day after day and yet saying you're tired of it. Ever hear the one about when there's a fire already going and you want it to go out, you certainly don't put more wood on the fire...

Okay Esther - I'll cut the crap. You're right. I should have said that if Obama wins, all the Lefties will gloat and if he loses they will be running around Gather pissing and moaning. We're Americans. We all whine when we don't get our way.
You're absolutely right Esther. Thank you for that.
Screw it, I'm just not voting. You guys fight it out amongst yourselves. I don't care anymore.
THAT sounded really really definite, huh ???
Naw, you guys go ahead and elect a President. Surprise me on November 5th.
Kay & Snowy Cat, Oct 6, 2008, 12:10pm EDT
Yes Ma'am, she's knows her business. She called me out and I appreciate that. She's right. Both sides of this argument are saying what they believe and either side will complain if it goes the other way. You guys have fun, I'm done with it.
Kay & Snowy Cat, Oct 6, 2008, 12:12pm EDT
I know Kay, I know.... I just don't care anymore.
Whoever wins, this has been one of the ugliest election cycles in memory (mine at least, and I go back to Reagan/Carter).
Kay & Snowy Cat, Oct 6, 2008, 12:15pm EDT
On the plus side, once the whole thing goes in the tank, we all get to start over on an even playing field. That's a good thing. Maybe we'll get it right this time, eh?
Peter Joseph Swanson , Oct 6, 2008, 12:16pm EDT
I dunno Peter, maybe. Why not? The two party system has certainly made a mess of things, hasn't it?
Register TODAY!!!

Good luck. I hope it turns out well for you and yours.
Keating Economics - What you Should Know <------ here it is in Hyper Link (buckle your warp speed straps and hang on!)
The fact that Bush got elected at all shows that there are more thoughtful Democrats who listen and who try to vote on facts. It's just too bad they did not think a Presidential candidate would really lie to them and steal from them to the extent the Bush administration has.
Thinking people in American have a long way to go and a lot to learn still.
Luckily, the last 8 years have caused some people to start thinking.
What Bruce? You are now making George Bush the Senate AND the House of Representatives! Damn, that guy had power! Oh wait, isn't congress in the hands of the democrats?--never mind.
Liberal Mental Giants -- scary, eh?
Indoctrination -- sort of reminds me of the Hitler youth programs ;)
I see little chance of Roe v. Wade being overturned, and my fellow neo-cons and I do not discuss it.
We talk about the war, and about the economy, and we are certain that Obama is ill-equipped to deal with either.
I don't think so.
Bush IS evil.
Bush IS evil.
Bush IS evil.
And I think this is the first party in history to shoot a friend in the face.
Usually, they're backstabbing each other. You've got to admit, Cheney has Chutzpah! Right out there in the open---blam! But they weren't drinking. It was an accident.
Keating 5 -- Keating 5 -- Keating 5!
And Dubya can't pronounce Nuclear either...but he's had the button rights for 8 years.
And isn't THAT just scarey as hell?
And Chris, Obama has talked a lot more openly about what his plans are than McSame.
And Palin has only talked the pre-scripted talks. Enough about her nose...
She's a mouthpiece.

Sure!
Oh, and from the Associated Press:
Seven Palin Aides to Testify in Abuse-of-Power Probe
Sunday 05 October 2008

Anchorage, Alaska - Seven aides to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin have reversed course and agreed to testify in an investigation into whether the Republican vice presidential nominee abused her powers by firing a commissioner who refused to dismiss her former brother-in-law.
There is no indication, however, that Palin or her husband will now agree to testify in the legislative inquiry, which has dogged her for the past several months and could hurt John McCain in the final weeks of the presidential race.
Palin, a first-term governor, is the focus of a legislative investigation into her firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan a year after she, her husband and key advisers began questioning him about getting rid of a state trooper who had gone through a nasty divorce with her sister.
Monegan says he was dismissed because he wouldn't fire the governor's former brother-in-law, but Palin contends he was dismissed for insubordination. McCain operatives called Monegan a "rogue" who repeatedly tried to work outside normal channels for requesting money.
Lawmakers subpoenaed seven state employees to testify in the inquiry but they challenged those subpoenas. After a judge rejected that challenge last week, the employees decided to testify, Alaska Attorney General Talis Colberg said.
Democratic state Sen. Hollis French, who is managing the investigation, said that, following the court ruling, he again asked Palin and her husband, Todd, whether they planned to testify.
"We've had no response," French said Sunday.

You mean like Sarah Palin?
I KNOW that Republicans have NO Credibility at this point...
I'm curious: to how many people does Credibility just NOT Matter....
It's just amazing...
Today is the last day to Register in many States....
Watch (uncensored version):
Why Should We Vote?
1. They don't listen to the "other party" - only what THEIR candidate SAYS ABOUT
the other party.
2. Fear of terrorists, liberals, gay people – that list is long
3. Religion (because God wants McCain to be president)
4. They think McCain and Palin will make abortion illegal
5. Women secretly want to be like a beauty pageant contestant like Palin and men think she is hot
AND even hotter because she passionate about killing animals
6. They don’t want a black man as president
7. They think Barack Obama is a Muslim
8. Don’t really understand the “uppity” language of Barack Obama and
says he is a “show-off” and arrogant when he appears confident
9. Hopefully Sarah Paling will bring back school prayer
10. Comfort in what is familiar and tradition – no matter how much it sucks.
Sacrifice is the keyword here.
In my opinion, you are a retarded moonbat -- you just don't get it.
we're all racist, no good SOB's...
and some of us know a SMARMY condescending look down at those of us who haven't been programmed to jump, AND are old enough to remember Jimmy Carter when we see it...
Change is NOT a destination and what I am seeing coming out of the Obama campaign looks just as much like "I am the PRESIDENT", (as in there really isn't a Congress to deal with), as anything dumb ass Dubya has been ALLOWED to get away with since Al Gore conceded, (twice).
I was a registered Democrat for over a quarter of a century... till finally I just decided that busing inner city voters to the polls as a primary method of governing, while allowing my jobs to be offshored, was not something that was EVER going to be in MY interest.
Now I am registered independent.
eh?
You forgot;
1. They hate their parents and all old people.
2. They have distain for education.
3. They only out give democrats in charitable contributions for selfish gain.
4. They are all rich and hence are the wealthy elite we must destroy
5. They have no compassion for the sick especially if related to an ill person.
6. They could care less if some radical religious nut from lets say the middle east hacks off his wife's head for adultery and chops off the hands of the youth that disagree with him on religious grounds.
7. And of course they eat their young.
Nothing left for McLame to do but call him a bunch of bogeyman names hoping he could scare some gullible half wits. Worked for Macarthy for a while.
Is that supposed to give them Credibility they don't have???
hmmmm....
no... no they are not...
But most folks with any sense are absolutely Tired of the Republican Disasters...
Disgusted by the behavior of McCain and Palin...
I understand your desire to not understand that difference...
(What sort of Break would you like??? You've already Broken the Country...)
;)
I sence that you get your history from "moveon". You might want to try reading the actual documents on record to get a better perspective of what has been happing in this country for the last several decades.
Haven't checked your "sensors" lately have you ...
Seen what's been going on with this Nation Lately???
Seen who McCain is? What he has become???
Peter is right... McCain has no choice but to be a "Maveric" ...
Seen what his Party has done with this Nation???
But McCain (and that other one) is no "Maveric" Whatever THAT is ...
He's Just Wrong, Wrong, Wrong... ;)
What IS a Maveric?
A Maveric IS an Air to Surface Missile used by the US Military ... It Detonates after going all the way Down....
is THAT what McCain is???
THAT is not something we need leading this Nation....
Peace,
Aye
