And dissing community organizers (who do damn good things for little or no pay) and calling your wife a trollop and c*nt are so much better. Not to mention that thinking that just because you pick a woman on your ticket (who in fact is anti-woman) will garner women's votes because she's a woman is insulting.

We should just program a robot with the bits and pieces we want from each candidate (pro-choice, tougher on illegal immigration, better economy, less war mongering, etc).

OMG SKYNET!

LOL.  You should take a trip to chicago and see what these "community organizers" have actually done.  High crime, violent streets, etc.  That is certainly nothing to be proud of.  But lets remember that Obama was working for ACORN, the countries largest voter fraud organization.  Look it up.

Please list 3 accomplishments for Obama.  Be sure to leave out his associations with William Ayers though.

Anyways, the way this hacking has been covered has been disgraceful.  The same tech sites that run around all day screaming about "privacy" are the ones who keep giving this story fuel.

And can you please show evidence that he called his wife that name?

Silly people, don't you know you pick a candidate based on superficial details like their name or hair or the way they dress.

Automatically counting out the candidates who have been the butt of the wittiest cutdowns on some random forum is always a sure-fire way to pick the best person for the job as well.

I second that emotion! Not to mention the fact that the man has a life experation date comin up....and do we really want this Palin nobody as our president? Extremely poor judgement on McCains part. There should be a cap on how long you can hold these positions...say 50 years old and your out...period...as well as health requirments. What stake in the future does someone hold that's 90 years old....sittin in a whell chair with one foot in the grave and pissin in a bag? We need younger people in office. And as far as experience for the position of president...nobody has that...its learn as you go...I've yet to see job training for that position.

In Fairness , I have to say McCain is more qualified to lead the United States than that warmonging cylon Bush, and the US voted his ass in .. Twice

Speaking of qualifactions , Dick Cheney was SecDef and he's vice president. He deferred military service at least 4 times. How fucked is that? a SecDef who DEFERRED MILITARY SERVICE.

Amother thing we need is the option to say...NO...we vote for none of the above...none of you are qualified...you whine and lie to much...try again!

I vote for an All aboard the fail boat emote for political threads.

Well, maybe if she knew the difference between truth and fantasy...but she has to know the difference unless she's psychotic, so that "fantasy world" of hers has to be, at it's base, yet another lie to be perpetrated on the American people.

When power and aggrandizement are the goals, people: Anything goes!

i truly feel sorry for anyone who votes for McCain/Palin. this country is in dire need of a new direction in leadership and McCain/Palin will not provide it. McCain is trying to say he is a candidate of change but he has voted in line with Bush over 90% of the time and he has admitted to it.

3 years ago, i was telling everyone i was hoping McCain would run. i was actually a fan of his and probably would've voted for him dependent on who the other candidate would be. but McCain has aligned himself with the religious right and his "straight talk" and truthfullness has taken a dive. 3 years ago, he stated the leaders of the relgious right should not have any influence in politics. why is he such a fan of theirs now? he'd rather lose his integrity than lose an election, i guess.

Obama is a racist or so at least somebody in this thread says. i highly doubt that. the man's mother is white! remember, whoever said he is a racist, racism goes both ways and you ARE guilty of it by making your comment.

Palin can see Russia from her window and that makes her an expert in foreign policy? and don't say Obama isn't, either. Obama has NEVER made claim to being an expert. don't say McCain is! he didn't even know Spain isn't in Latin AMerica the other day.

you know, it's quite humorous that all Wassila town council meeting minutes are now removed from the town's site. I was reading them 2 weeks ago. i wonder what national election campaign had them removed.

i also wonder why Palin doesn't want her husband or staff to be questioned regarding Troopergate. if they have nothing to hide, answer the question!

in case you're wondering, i am a registered democrat but i vote for the individual, not the party. if a republican or independent is the better person, i vote for him/her. i started voting in 1976, have never missed an election (local, state, or national), and have NEVER voted a straight ticket. if i thought Mc/Cain/Palin was better for the country, i'd vote for them. they aren't, tho. just because McCain was a POW doesn't mean he's a better candidate. i'm tired of that logic. years ago, i worked with a man who was a POW for for years in a German camp in WWII. he had physical disabilities the rest of his life due to the torture he received in that camp. Jack was the nicest man i've ever met and i miss him a great deal but i'd never consider voting for him for the office of President of The United States.

and when it comes to earmarks, when did obama ever say he hadn't asked for any? not once has he claimed to not asked for any. in my mind, it's every elected official's responsibility to get as much aid from the federal government to make things in their respective town, city, or state better. don't claim to have never asked for any or a disdain for the process when you've been a supporter of the process since the first day you were elected, though! "Thanks, but no thanks" my ass! the woman wanted the bridge built while she was running for governor. she can deny it all she wants but it's public record unless the McCain campaign has all the records removed and the videos removed from YouTube.

here's something that i find interesting:

Let's look at the educational background of your two options:

Obama:
Occidental College - Two years.
Columbia University - B.A. political science with a specialization in international relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

& Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in political science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

vs.

McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 of 899

& Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in journalism

Um, maybe reading comprehension is not your strong suit... or is it that you just ignore whatever doesn't fit your myopic view of the inside of the sandpile your head's stuck in... Of maybe you are just the average lefty.

What is it about the left that they can't read a full bio of a candidate?  They point to Palin's time as a mayor, but gloss over the part about her being a Governor.  They praise Obama's "community organizer" experience and act like he's never encouraged voter fraud (which is what the criminal organization ACORN is all about).  They acknowledge LT. McCain's time as a POW but completely ignore the rest of his 23 year career and 4 years at Annapolis.

Not even pilots can make Captain without a command.

McCain's command was not a combat fleet command, true, but commanding a training unit is no walk in the park and it is still leadership... Especially when the competition has no DD 214 or anything even smelling of civilian leadership experience.

the fact obama voted with reid and not bush is a rather good thing, isn't it? it is when you consider how wrong bush has been.

can you tell i never voted for bush?

no, i did not vote for Obama in the Indiana primary.
