The Trail: A Daily Diary of Campaign 2008

Ha Ha! Him funny! That make him good president! We laugh ha ha. We laugh much when start draft. Bomb Iran. Ha ha. No smart Obama. No. No. Presidents who think are dum. We need more funny Bush. Ha.

Fidel Castro promised Change as well. Republicans promise lower taxes but isn't it funny how prices of basic commodities always go way up when they are in office? What good are lower taxes if your dollar buys less and housing values sink. Nixon? Reagan? Bush? What this country needs is a tax designation system where the people choose much like there insurance which programs get funded and how much of their taxes go to what area. This tv show could be more fun than American idol. Lets see how much trickle down compassion there is and how much we give to the military. I think that the people would be astounded if they saw the federal government profit and loss statement. Let the people decide the budget and the spending. Flat tax will never work or be accepted. We the people need to go out and kick some ASS to change this country not a bunch of already wealthy statesman and politicians.

I'll take John McCain. Change can be very bad. I haven't liked much of what Sen. Obama has offered. He has a gleaming view of the future, but at what cost to the citizens of the USA? I'll take a very gradual grooming of our current society, thank you.

Why anyone would want Bush #3 in office, is beyond me? I guess they are thrilled with the idea of more of the same. I call it insanity.

Mitt who? Oh, yeah, that guy. No thanks.

NinaK-Have you read Mitt's "Issues" section at mittromney.com?

He is definitely the right Man for the Job.

McCain is One Dimensional-Military!

The Bad news, THIS COUNTRY IS SICK OF THE FIGHTING!

The Biggest Reason, BECAUSE WE ARE BEING TARGETS!-NOT Fighting! Rattling Sabers and Making Waves, NOT ENDING Anything!

We want CLOSURE!

That said, the President does not actually DO the Fighting. The President, ENFORCES The Federal Laws.

So, who is talking about ENFORCING Laws?

McCain? Obama? Clinton?

LMFAO! :-D

Starting WHEN? As Congressmen, they ALL sat on their butts not doing a DAMN THING! All three want to waive their obligation to enforce the Laws so badly broken, by proclaiming it is all "Bad Policies". Amnesty! Do Over! NEXT Time, we will actually do what we are supposed to! Promise! ;~)

I judge by actions. All three Congressman have displayed all the Actions necessary, to make me not want to let them within a THOUSAND MILES OF THE WHITE HOUSE! :-(

There is only ONE Group that can authorize the Funding for Enforcement of W-4/W-2 Employment Verification. Congress!

These Jerks from Congress-DID NOT!

Because of it, MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of Criminal Invaders have STOLEN Skilled Jobs from Millions upon Millions of Americans, DESTROYING OUR WAGES AND COMMUNITIES.

Mitt Romney/ Huckabee!

We Rallied to stop the Amnesty once, we can Rally to keep a Traitor OUT of the White House This Time!

Consider how many people Vote. This is a Cause, Americans WILL GET UP AND VOTE OVER!

Then, Mitt also knows Economy! :-)

It's only funny to point out McCain's age among his campaign folks and on late night television.

When is the mainstream media going to put McCain's age to the test by having him and his campaign answer these questions?

1) McCain's mother is a vibrant 96-year old woman. McCain is nearly 72 years old former Vietnam POW. But what about McCain's father? He died at age 70! He died on a military aircraft en route from Europe on 22 March 1981.

2) McCain has yet to release his medical records. Why? If nothing is to be made from McCain's medical records, they would have been released a while ago. He has already had bouts with skin cancer.

3) When does sharpness of mental and physical faculties start to decline? At what age do we start to question McCain's reasoning and judgement. It is a medical fact that we will all experience this if we live to be 65 and over.

It's time for a "new generation" of grafters...

Senator McCain is an ELDERLY man running for President of the United States and as Commander-in-Chief. The Republicans would have done much better with Mit Romney as the nominee rather than McCain. Someone said McCain looks like grandpa....I beg to differ, he looks like greatgrandpa. The Presidency and the Office of the Commander-in-Chief are very demanding and require clear thinking and vision. Judging by Senator McCain's many flipflops and his latest efforts to "reinvent" himself, I am inclined to believe he has been, and is, losing touch with reality. He has been in Washington for how many years?? He is entrenched in the policies and politics that have led to the sad and unnecessary mire in which we find ourselves, both here in the USA and abroad. Do you really want more of the same??

McCain voted 90% Bush agenda over that last 8 years.

You want more of the same, vote McCain.

My vote is for Obama.

A Great American .... I would really like him as my neighbour .... but I would not want him as my President .... The country needs to make a dramatic change in direction and regain its status in the world ... to much damage has been done to the USA by the Republican Party and the likes of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice and Rove!

He seems more like my grandpa than someone running for Pres.

After all his PoW stress and attempted brainwashings, I'm not sure he is still mentally stable in his old age....and VERY doubtful about 4 years from now.

I do have respect for McCain. I, however, do not think he has what it takes to run this country. He may leave this up to Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rove. Basically, if you want more the same vote for McCain.

I liked it.

Still, one hundred years of war and depression does not sound appealing enough even after a good laugh.

I hope to see him joking about why he didn't win later, not about what a coincidence it was that he said he could end the war in Iraq in 5 years... right after we re-elect him...

I"m voting for change...

First off, this struck me, in general, as a first class act of crookedness, not so much for McCain, who is simply doing what comes naturally to a candidate for President, but rather our society as a whole. What is happening here is like an intricate crystal of corruption, with light difusing through it being "other corruption bits."

First, The Candidate is being given not free, but PAID for airtime to promote a political message. Despite what he said, the plea for you to vote for him was what it was. He could have told you chickens were from Jupiter, but once he asks you to vote for him, his rhetorical content is immaterial.

second, While asking for votes, albeit in a jocular manner, the candidate got to use Rhetoric in the way Thrusymachus does in the Platonic Dialogues. He uses superior rhetorical devices to win over "muddy thinkers," which is EXACTLY what Socrates and Plato were complaining about in the Dialogues, even as far as the implication that by just BEING on SNL his "argument," is given credulity. Reminder: Socrates was executed for advancing the position that Thrusymachus and his cohorts were using "fuzzy" logic.

Third, McCain is not "old." I have a 90 year old friend. McCain is only 72.

I loved it. Not only courageous, powerful and dripping with integrity, he can make fun of himself and the world around him. I look forward to his inauguration.

Indict the War Criminals!!! Send the White House Killers to face the International Criminal Court for War Crimes! Oil prices will drop once these Morons are out of DC.

Economist: War to cost $3.5 trillion
Nobel economist tells Congress about impact of war that White House said would cost $60B.
Bob Deans / Cox News Service

WASHINGTON -- The Iraq war will cost Americans between $3 trillion and $5 trillion, including military spending, broader economic costs and decades of benefits and medical care for combat veterans, a Nobel prize-winning economist told the Joint Economic Committee on Thursday.
The upper end of the estimate is nearly double what the same economist, Joseph Stiglitz, projected two years ago. He attributed the dramatic increase to the continuing intensity of the war, which began five years ago next month, and the likelihood that operations there would continue for at least another year.
The war's gravest toll has been paid in blood. Fighting in Iraq has so far taken the lives of 3,973 U.S. troops and left nearly 29,300 wounded. Its staggering expense, however, has dwarfed the 2003 White House war estimate of $60 billion, and the price is rising.

"America is a rich country," said Stiglitz, a Columbia University professor and former World Bank chief economist.
"The question is not whether we can afford to squander $3 trillion or $5 trillion," he told committee members. "We can. But our strength will be sapped. ... There is no such thing as a free war."
Taxpayers have spent $607 billion to pay for the war through September, according to the staff of the Joint Economic Committee, made up of Republicans and Democrats from both houses of Congress.
The true cost to date, though, is $1.3 trillion, the committee staff estimates, when taking into account the costs of caring for wounded soldiers, replacing equipment lost or destroyed, the economic impact of disrupted oil markets and lost work time for reservists and other expenses.
In a report published last November, the committee estimated that the war would cost Americans between $3.5 trillion and $4.5 trillion by 2017.

Maybe this backfires, and McCain's attempts at making light of his advanced age actually brings more uneasy attention to the matter. Not good when TIME does a major piece on the severity of his skin cancer and high risk of fatality. And then he jokes about it? Boo...

Go McCain! If we can have "hope" and "change" without any explanation of the whys and how much it will cost, then let's have "oldness" as well. After all, the Asians respect the elderly and look how they've taken over the world economy. There must be something to it. Meanwhile, Go Hillary! Most qualified candidate for President in 2008! Hillary, if you don't get the nomination from those disrespectful Dems, run as an Independent! You have the vote of this lifelong Democrat!

McCain has the "oldness" to be dead. Like his brain, which flip flops all day long.

Shiite. Sunni. Who cares, right you old fool?

I watched it and thought it was stupid. My only thought was "how does he not have to pay for this as a campaign spot?" I thought the bit about GE's control over NBC was only a joke on 30 Rock.
