Just say Nobama! We are PuMaS, we support Hillary. We are PuMaS, we have PMS. We are PuMaS, we will vote for McCain and then Hillary will win in 2012! Don't say we didn't tell you so!

honestabe said, What's wrong with McCain? Why can't he keep his staff together?
==============================

And how many staffers has obama kicked to the curb?

anything is better than obama and his stupid fist bump - there hasn't been a nerdier black guy since erkel.

Try again. "

Nope, you are wrong. George W. Bush had his hand on the trigger. He was where the buck stopped, and is the worst thing that ever happened to America so far as an overall effect.

If this is true, McCain will have some problems: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afawZWEtCKc

This article glaringly omits that Steve Schmidt and several other high-level McCain operatives are being directed by Karl Rove. Same Bush gang; same Bush agenda.

Get ready: Sleazeball #1 is now in place.

Now why would anyone think that McCain is just another Bush after flip-flopping on taxes, torture, the environment and immigration? And now McCain has Bush's minions running his campaign? Give me a break!

"Oh, yeah...because those guys are responsible for killing tens of thousands of innocent people, shredding our Constitution, bankrupting the nation, placing us on the list of rogue nations regarding human rights, weakening our military, strengthening our enemies worldwide and invading countries for money, oil and revenge against the wrong people...or so they thought...until they lost."

Your sophomoric blathering tripe is old worn out and ineffective. Get some new material. Surely there must some updated talking points the Socialist use from moveon or code pink or what ever you guys buy into. Pitiful really.

"Sounds fantastic compared to another Bush term. We'll take it!

Scared? Yeah, we can tell and we LOVE it.

Time for a change. Obama 08!"

It comes as no surprise that the Obama cult members would accept that as a fact and go on about their worshiping of their deceitful Messiah. I have to wonder though just what do you think his "change" means. If your answer is Socialism, high, HIGH taxes and redistribution of income then you are on the right track.

Sunny Florida creid: "But the movement that is "NoBama" is not just about of lack of faith in his abilities to lead this country, but more about the fact that if we support the candidate that was shoved down our throats by the DNC, the media, and the "party leaders", rather than the one who won the popular vote, then we can offically kiss "democracy" and free elctions good by. We are no different than any country with fixed elections, propaganda and backroom deals. THAT is the goal of the JUSTSAY NO DEAL coalition of sites. Go PUMAS! Go McCain! Come and get us!"

Yeah, woo-hoo. I hate to be the one to tell you this, but we don't give a squirt about your pathetic little protest. Your hysterical dingbat lunatic fringe is like 2-3% of Hillary supporters and the millions of new Dems Obama brought in will MORE than make up for your childish little tantrum.

So don't let the door hit yer big ol' butt (just a hunch) on the way out of the Democratic party.

We're glad you're gone, so have fun rejecting everything Hillary ever fought for and voting for McCain...and LOSING. Again.

And of course Obama won fair and square, but way to embarrass women everywhere with your petulance. Way to go PUMA!

===================================
You are so juvenile it is disgusting. All this nonsense that you have spewed in your post lets everyone know that you have no knowledge about elections and or the politics of this country.

When has the presidential election ever been won by the popular vote? If this was the case then Al Gore would have been president in 2000. But, I suspect that you already know that and your post is just to vent the fact that your chosen candidate lost the democratic primary.

But if you expect anyone here or anywhere else to beleive in the sincerity of a voter who claims that their chosen candidate was Hilary Clinton (who lost) and now is now voting for McCain to teach the Democrats a lesson then you are more stupid than your post depicts.

If you want to support McCain then do so. This is your right in a democratic society but stop calling foul in an arena where clearly there was no foul committed.

Grow up!

What's wrong with McCain? Why can't he keep his staff together? Why so disorganized and lack of focus? Is this how McCain would run the WH. No thanks!

Hey, not as bad as Wright, Rezko, Ayers, Pfleger, Weathers, Farrakhan, and Al Sharpton.

Wake me up when the succinct comments of this section outweigh the inability to wake Senator McCain and his minions up from the Republican Party's slumber and awe of the 1960s and Vietnam...

Could we stop living that war? It's 2008~!

It's SO annoying. Droning on and on about NOTHING, and then - out of the blue - a missile hits a plane. And a president is born.

That is so lame. And it's only July...

That's all they got?

Next.

What's funny is as much as McCain wants to distance himself from Bush he has now hired all of Karl Rove's Bush campaign to run his own campaign.

So if he gets elected do we see all these criminals (Cheney, Rove, Abrahmson)all going in and out of the White house office building again dipping once again into the public trough?

Wow, kind of like your worst nightmare huh? Kewl.....enjoy it!!

That's enough of a GOP pep talk. But, I don't think Captain America is doing so well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well said. McCane is passing into the "saber tooth tiger" category. He is a bit out of touch and old fashioned. In this case old school is not a good thing.

Obama has a whole lot more instinct for management and organization that was very apparent in how he overcame the Clinton juggernaut. McCain appears to be sleep walking and not really concerned about his ineffectiveness. Maybe he isn't even aware of it. Does he have Giuliani on his executive strategy staff?

I like Obama for his vision, his confidence, his accurate perceptions and his energy. All vitally important qualities to steer the ship of state. Its going to be a real breath of fresh air.

How many attacks can you document at home or abroad before 1980s (hint: before Reagan took office)? I know many people who were excited to work in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, Malayasia, Indonesia, Phillipines.

Not being attacked by jetliners is not a coincidence, because of the airport/airline security measures. Nothing to do whatsoever with the war in Iraq. Most of the people we are fighting against there wouldn't be able to point to US on the globe or in atlas.

Practicing Osteopolitics ain't easy. But this party platform invented under Reagan and then resurrected in 2000 is not cutting it for me in 2008.

In my mind, I still hear Bush saying, "I believe in supply-side spending", "Corporations are people too", and "The Economy is fundemenatally sound". Would be ok if they were political soundbytes but these ideals were actually put into practice ? I have to clue where these metaphyscians got a clue but to me they still have not a clue.

Today I heard so much rhetoric on cutbacks at Starbucks by the MSM it was amazing. Luxury item purchases decrease in proportion to disposable income. I guess those rebate checks were not spent at Starbucks. Now where oh where did that money go, gasolene maybe ? Makes me proud to be an independent now as a former lifetime Republixcan, ahhhhhhh, Independence Day, indeed.

AND WHAT EXACTLY IS mCcain's message?

Let me guess: "I'm a Senator. I was a POW. I got shot down. I'm on the Armed Services committee. I'm a military veteran."

WHATEVER.

Spin it, shake it, spray it - however you want. It's still the same old John McSame. Bush III, minus 1. Nice snub, btw, senator, by Rove and Bush in 2000. And you still are sucking it up.

For what? To have you shot down in November 2000 also? This time maybe Paris Hilton will console you.

That, btw, was satire. Dude.

"More Americans have died since 9/11 than on 9/11! And at what cost? And at what security? Do you feel safer now to roam the world including the Mideast as you used to do so freely?"

Roam the Mideast? Probably never was a good time to roam that area. There certainly were plenty of attacks prior to 9/11 including NYC WTC the first time. No attacks on our homeland and that is no coincidence. The terrorists have had there way with the innocent for sometime now. It did not begin with 9/11. You do know that correct...because you have been roaming for sometime.

It is the message, STUPID!

It's not about campaign manager(s)
It's not about organizational structure
It's not about execution plan
It's not about # spins
It is not about ....

You got the hint?

Repukes LIE when they say we haven't been attacked since 9-11.

The Anthrax attacks happened AFTER 9-11.

And Chimpy's goons haven't caught the terrorists in that one either.

If we haven't been attacked since then, it is not because of Chimpy but DESPITE him.

Chimpy invaded the wrong country at the wrong time for the wrong reasons and now we don't have enough troops to go after Bin Laden in Afghanistan.

You Repukes are WRONG as usual.

Honestly now, if Captain America cannot forge an effective campaign with a four-month head start what make people think he can lead a country? I don't care what sort of hero jet fighter pilot he was 50 years ago. Who, or what, is he today?
He cannot raise sufficient funds for a Fall campaign so the taxpayers are bailing him out; the Bush people are raising what money they can for him; Karl Rove is quietly installing opeatives in the Cheap Shot Express' to replace the old tires McNane put on; he has all but moved into the RNC because he cannot get a campaign apparatus to call home; he is about to bring on a man he hates onboard as his Veep candidate out of desperation..Mitt `The Knife' Romney..because Mitt has the perfect political soul (empty) and can attack Obama for the cameras will be poses pious, raise money where even the Bush people cannot, and deploy is quiet Mormon army in those precious western states. That's because `Captain America' has virtually no grassroots organizations outside the RNC in any of his former 11 regions.
McCain's his policies have earned him the nickname `McSame' because he essentially has no significant policies of his own.
That's enough of a GOP pep talk. But, I don't think Captain America is doing so well.

In other news, a domesticated CHIMP is missing in a forest in California.

I didn't know Bush was in California.

Who is this Obama guy? Do we really know. We know of some of his wacky associates, freaky 20 + yr church, strange liberal voting record, childhood / religion is unclear, parents, who are / were they, what does he really, REALLY believe.

Is it all just a hope, change, turn the page (and what DOES that mean), yes we can (what?).

Who is this guy or does it matter as long as the naive "feel good" about voting for a black man? Is that what his attraction is...lofty arrogance spoken by a black (sort of) man? Astounding.

Why the metric has to be so narrow as "not being attacked" or "not being attacked on the mainland" or "not being attacked on the mainland with American Airline Jets rammed into tall building in morning in September?"

More Americans have died since 9/11 than on 9/11! And at what cost? And at what security? Do you feel safer now to roam the world including the Mideast as you used to do so freely?

If not being attacked is a true metric, it was already achieved on 9/12/2001 because there were no attacks on 9/12/2001.

What a bunch of myopics!

If a B-sh Brother campaigns for you and does exclusive fund-raising for you( approval ratings of 28%..be sure..it is the King Midas Touch. You will turn into a statue of gold and be way-laid...

Bush Brother, 2012!!!!!!!!!!

Things are indeed falling apart!

Yesterday Cindy wore a tangerine colored sweater/jacket to match McCain's tie, and today there is no color matching!

And I don't think Cindy asked the pilot when boarding the plane "Does this work?" What if it did not work? Or made a big noise of a different kind?

What a mess!

JOHN McCAIN'S 3R ECONOMIC PLAN 2008
Abbreviated version

Republican Candidate John McCain with a progressive outlook, comes through for America with his 3R economic plan. In the persona of Theodore Roosevelt, McCain's plan just makes sense.

NUTS AND BOLTS of the plan are simple.

The US needs a separate tax revenue source before it can move away from fossil energy fuels which supply hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes for state and federal agencies.

This move from fossil fuels to clean, affordable energy can only be done in one of two ways.
1. Halt all projects paid for with taxes at the pump and other fuel taxes, OR,
2. John McCain's Economic Plan involving the 3R's, Rethink, Reform, Reinvent.

Here is the John McCain 3R solution.

The US needs alternative taxes if we are to drop the petrol products tax and utilize new alternative fuels and new power sources. This is where the taxes will come from.

McCain's 3R is about technical, closely monitored and rapid hands on training from pros to create new pros. Thousands of currently-job-displaced "once leaders in the manufacturing arena" will be asked to train and play instructor rolls in the 3R plan.

Paid, of course, as these new leaders will help create a whole new style of prosperous America. A massive restructure providing thousands of new American MFG companies means millions of new jobs for infrastructure alone.

1. RETHINK: America must see globally on what America is capable of in our current state of technology, engineering and meet the demands that face the world.

"RE-Think" the basic job goals involve the dwindling retirement, health care and social security plans that are failing Americans. With a strong base and a higher Gross Domestic Product (GDP) America has a new bargaining chip in the way we live and the ways we retire.

Private Sector framework is in place and current laws allow the 3R to happen. The Progressive attitude of John McCain to get things done by crossing party lines will resurrect America.

2. REFORM: The American people must demand higher quality products and less restricted trade routes for Made in USA components. We will lead the way of MFG again!

The USA will reform its dead manufacturing base to create the most innovative and green-engineered products possible. We will compete in a world market along with other high quality products. Our Private Sector teams are making this reality now.

3. REINVENT: America and Americans must reinvent themselves to reach and maintain these standards and by sheer American ingenuity, control the world's marketplace in the competitive manner, as the USA has always been proud to be #1.

Americans are going back to McCain's 3R-schooling program where they are paid to reinvent their skills and learn new skills to design and lead their personal LLC, Corporation or joint venture company. That's easy enough to comprehend and just as easy to implement.

The 3R plan is designed as a six-month rapid advancement system. Graduates may return for additional skill enhancements from time to time, or step up after new advanced training in executive management.

New jobs are the mainstay for Creating a new guard for Social Security.

While manufacturing is a very important part of this plan, thousands of other new businesses must to be created to meet the new surge of 3R manufacturing industries to create a new era of prosperous Americans.

Initial estimates of 1 in 5 students will begin his or her own company and drive even more Americans into a viable lifestyle with real jobs, real benefits and a retirement to look forward to.

This 3R plan will be done without costing taxpayers (or the government) additional funds. America has the means to follow through with John McCain's 3R plan, ready and in place across the USA. The buildings we need sit vacant for the most part. By assuming leases on abandoned stores and factories across America with MC-3R schools and mini-manufacturing training centers, the USA made products can be sold and support the stores. Building owners write off the loss in taxes over a few years if they donate the space!

This is the new place for financial speculators to invest!

The speculators who first drove the economy with mortgage investments and most recently with crude oil investments have a better arena for their investments. America as nation of industrious individuals who want to work and want to succeed will make them huge profits. The supply of eager Americans with ideas and dreams to prosper is limitless.

Although the thousands of new businesses manufacturing USA Made products is exciting enough, the real excitement comes from the massive amount of additional jobs that will be created to provide the new housing, new buildings, new parks, shopping, grocery stores, schools, government outlets and so much more.

McCain's Straight Talk Decisive nature embodies a Progressive Theodore Roosevelt more than any US presidential candidate in history since the original Rough Rider blazed the greatest era of growth in America.

We need John McCain to lead our nation with the same type of change.

THIS DRAFT COURTESY OF:

John Lewis Mealer,
Founding President of Mealer Companies

"We haven't been attacked in the past 8 years? Huh. Republicans can't do math or have bad memories."

Boy, you got me there. 7 yrs 10 months 8 days approx. 16 hrs. Feel better now.

and what does "can't do math" mean?

If it aint Broke don't Fix it. Rick Davis Big Time Lobbyist with serious Soviet connections has been fired (replaced) by Steve Schmidt as McCain campaign manager. Steve was George Bush campaign manager and Cheney strategist. McCain finally came to the realization that his campaign was Broken. With Steve Schmidt in charge (for now) looks like we have George Bush II repackaged as McCain. Schmidt may have won the election for Bush, but after losing the Country, voters won't support Bush II in the person of McCain. With Schmidt McCain's campaign is now unrepairable.

"Looks to me like the socialist Dems want to spend our money on our people and the borrow and spend Reps want to spend our money on wars. Hmmmmm...."

Riiight the Republicans actually want to protect this country and if that means killing al Qaeda and Taliban so be it. But you are correct about the lib dem socialists, they want to buy votes with entitlements...or as you say "spend money on our people". Hmmm

Americafirst - Can you inform those of us who aren't apparently as "enlightened" as you what John "What Can I Do For My Country" McCain as you call him, is going to do for our country?

Absolutely, we have not been attacked and the economy has been the most resilient with steady growth, low unemployment and interest rates."

We haven't been attacked in the past 8 years? Huh. Republicans can't do math or have bad memories.

As you are exiting the darkened moviehouse where the multi-reel dramedy you have been perceiving as reality for the last several months is finished rolling the credits, please note that in the real world Hilary lost and that Obama studiously avoided race-tactics. That was Bill who tried to make Obama the BLACK candidate instead of a presidential candidate in a place where it was a historically hot issue. Remember segregation. Obama conducted a brilliant campaign using the system created by the Democratic Party when he was too young to hold public office. His David vs. Goliath defeat of a practically annointed candidate is proof enough of his ability try and put this broken country back together. Just because someone looks good on paper, doesn't mean they are in fact better and this country has had enough examples of this to prove it. You need a refresher course in US history if you don't believe me -- any source you want to use the truth is in all of them. You obviously have enough intelligence to string words to form sentences, but common sense and rationality are lacking. You don't punish Obama, you punish yourself. You are a disgrace to the women's movement, past, present and future. The longer you cling to your bitterness (deliberate and appropriate word choice), the more you bring shame on yourself and embarass Hilary. You will be embraced by the Republicans until they have your vote and then you will be booted out of the bed like a $5 hooker. Have some self-respect, please. Your behavior gives credence to all men who think women are emotionally and intellectually unstable. Thank God your numbers are small and we have Hilary to offset your kind. If you genuinely care about the future of this country you will continue to follow Hilary to Obama. You can try again in 2012, but the 2008 primary is OVER fair and square by the rules agreed upon by both candidates. Grow up, you're a middle aged woman and temper tamtrums are truly unbecoming after the age of 4 or 5. I am sorry you feel marginalized, but you are going down the wrong path if you want vindication. Put your energies to constructive use or stay home until the urge to key Obamas car, TP his house and throw water balloons at him passes.

Want to see how they govern? Watch how they campaign. One has an organization that ran circles around the 'best politicians' in America. The other wins the primary by default and can't get himself or his campaign organized to do anything. More Bush-like incompetence? I don't think America can stand another 4 years of failed government.

Re: Policy Discourse

This is great news.

Senator McCain needs to clarify his policy goals first and then derive a theme to fit into his overall policy discourses--instead of "distancing" himself from Bush. McCain also needs his own voices that work for his policy visions, instead of defending himself from Obama's charge of "Bush's Third Term."

Senator Obama has no policies that make sense. His economic policy is even dangerous threatening multilateralism and international trading system, WTO. The fact that the Democratic Party itself is discrediting 8 years of Clinton administration in that he expanded free trade agreements and initiated the institutionalization of WTO under his leadership is just a populist discourse.

Senator Obama's protectionism won't work for the twenty-first century. His economic
policy shows that he has no clue how many international trade agreements the United States currently has to enforce to revitalize the economy of the United States. The United States has to commit itself to international trade agreements under the rules of WTO as a global leader.

When Senator McCain has a clear global vision for America, voters will see that Logic of free trade in relation to national security, which has been tested most effective since the Reagan administration.

McCain finally caught on with this campaign cycle's mantra: CHANGE. McCain is now touting that he also is for change and to prove his point, McCain's new campaign slogan: Changing one lobbyist to another lobbyist once a week; that is my sort of CHANGE.

Have the lib dem Socialists done anything good for this country over the past 8 yrs? Anything?

If there was any doubt that McCain is Bush-lite this should remove it.

"Mr. Schmidt is a veteran of President Bush's 2004 re-election campaign and he worked closely with Karl Rove, who was Mr. Bush's political adviser." New York Times

"Obama also is changing his positions daily - you will shortly see him come out in favor of an open-ended Iraq commitment - no withdrawal, no timeline. Let's see what the left-wing kool-aid crowd says about that when it happens."

Umm... pgr88, do you have any basis for that, or did it just sound good when it was going through your mind?

not a chance

Just remind McSame every morning what he's supposed to be furious about, and keep him from biting anyone important, and you should be ok.

"Schmidt's going to run the campaign. He's still going to report to Rick. But he's going to have much broader ability to make decisions," said one top McCain aide. "When he says something to the political people, there will be no question, no discussing."

Sounds a lot like the arrangement Bush, Cheney and Rummy had for the Iraq war

I'd prefer to see Obama elected because of his broader interest in public sector projects. But I also like and respect McCain. My problem is that I liked him because of the positions he took in contrast to President Bush (whom I despise), and in an effort to curry favor with the right wing elements of the Republican party--which people tend to forget, are no more the only members of the party than are all Democrats left-wing liberals--he's basically abandoned everything that he used to espouse.

Want to see how they govern? Watch how they campaign. One has an organization that ran circles around the 'best politicians' in America.

Sorry, I stand corrected---by her Royal Highness of Crawford and all the Lowlands.
Laura (I need another ciggy) Bush, has just informed me that Shrub was not doing the "MONKEY" in his Jodhpur on the flight deck he was doing the "CHIMP"!!!

McAdmiral can rearrange the deck chairs but his blind focus is still going to be the same.....gazillions of dollars wasted on endless wars, more pandering to Bush's petrodictators and bigger tax cuts for the wealthiest in society. Under a McCain presidency, get used to shrinking middle class incomes and exploding deficits that could swallow the next generations.

It's tough to get one's message out when main-stream media reporters are getting tingles up their legs and are openly in the Obama camp.

Obama also is changing his positions daily - you will shortly see him come out in favor of an open-ended Iraq commitment - no withdrawal, no timeline. Let's see what the left-wing kool-aid crowd says about that when it happens.

anything is better than obama and his stupid fist bump - there hasn't been a nerdier black guy since erkel.

Hey I still see Shurb in his Jodhpur doing the "MONKEY" the flight deck!
That's one that's hard to beat!

If we can't have Hilary, I will vote for McCain. Obama has no realpolitik experience and he is nothing more than a puppet for Howard 'YEEEIOOOOUUUUWWW' Dean, Axelrod and his minions... THey are trying to ramrod this political Neophyte down our throats. Tell me one thing, ONE thing he has done while in the Illinois Legislature or the Senate for that matter? Mr. McCain has repeatedly worked across the aisle to work with the Dixiecrats, McCain/Feingold, McCain/Kennedy, McCain/Lieberman.. Plus he has the war wounds and medals to go along with them to prove he is a born leader. If I can't have Hill, I'll vote McCain!

lets make it simple
McCain = what can i do for my country
obama = what can my country do for me
the choice is clear -- McCain 08

Hey Simpletons, ya'll got that?

The campaign shake-up news is certainly `inside baseball,' and will be yet-another hot topic gone cold in about one news cycle, but I am afraid yet another capaign staff shake-up really does give credence to doubts about Captain America's ability to run anything, or even preside over anything. He's just not up to the task. He's out of it.
And, he's in Colombia? Maybe Mark Penn is available to join the Rovian `professional set' that's coming to Captain America's rescue.

Coward - I think you need to add more Tin Foil to your Dittohead.

If you can't run an effective campaign and have to rearrange campaign managers because you initially made the wrong choice what does that say about your ability to effectively run the country. Sounds too familiar to Bush's administration. Good luck Mclame.

The time is near when the idea of "PROVING ROVE LIES" to be lies is nearing end. The time of takinking the offence is near. McCain's testimony with regards to his not remembering the "SPEAKING FEES" he got from Keating on his tax returns will be played on UTUBE. The evidence of his confessing that America was the only problem in Vietnam will be played on UTUBE.
Some of the erratic outbursts at imaginary rats gnawing at his eyes will be played on UTUBE!!
AND DON'T CALL THESE SMEARS ROVITES, WHAT THEY WILL BE IS RECORDED FACT!!!

Think about this - you have a boss who keeps shaking up the office with staff changes, new policies and other panic-driven moves to "do better" for shareholders, clients and interested observers. In the past, we'd ask "would you buy a used car" from such a fellow? Nowadays, the question might be "would you trust your country to someone who lives in Shakeytown?"

lets make it simple

McCain = Graduated 994th out of 997 students

obama = Harvard Grad

McCain = You don't need your current job, you have a job in our military!

Obama = You don't need that military job, you have a job in our country!

Clinton = I need a job.

I wonder how much the Republicans are funding Al Qaeda and the Taliban?

These Republican paid terrorists are the only thing keeping Republicans in office at all.

mccain would lead us into another war, and generally behave aggressively, while handing money to oil and coal instead of creating energy independence. his policies are backward.

lets make it simple

McCain = what can i do for my country

obama = what can my country do for me

the choice is clear -- McCain 08

So,what is really need here is simple just
have someone shake up Amnesty John McCain
missing brains or empty hardhead about the
need to stop McCain's endless damn fool
pandering to the Hispanic and Mexican Vote
and not stopping Illegal Alien Criminals
Invading the USA and cface the reality that
we just had another female Phoenix Police
Officer shot by one of Amnesty John McCain
and Flip Flop Barack Hussein Obama's pals,
Illegal Alien Criminal along with the 11
Phoenix Area Cops Killed By Illegal Aliens
in the last four or five years now then.
And while Amnesty John McCain is off trying
to get elected El Presidente of Mexico for
Life and Whacky Baracky Hussein Obama is
off doing a "Rock Star World Tour" on us
as well. So voters remember both McCzin
and Obama support Illegal Alien Amendsty,
Open Borders and Instant US Citizenship
for all Illegal Aliens on election day.
So do I need even mention the issues like
the War in Iraq, Getting Osama bin Laden.
the Failing Economy et al here? NOBAMA and
NOAMNESTYMCCAIN! What a pair of losers!

I'VE LOST MY MARBLES...HELP ME MR. SCHMIDT, I'VE LOST MY CAMPAIGN MARBLES...DOESN'T IT LOOK LIKE MCCAIN? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZLAlceZ2qo&feature=related

"Republicans sure do like to scream about Democrats being "Socialists". You'd almost think Obama was the one who recorded Communist.."

They are socialists and Obama is a socialist. So your analysis is pretty accurate. Good job.

Republicans and Democrats are ALL Americans......dont forget that.....they just have different views and need to work together....

On to politics, has anyone checked out Fox.com's Polls????

Probably not, unless you go to realclearpolitics.com and see that Obama is ahead of McCain by 4%

and now about Steve Schmidt....he was successful at getting the Govenator re-elected (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and played a huge role in getting Bush elected and Re-elected.....There is not any dirt on this guy, just the guys he helps elect....

But, if McCain is trying to set himself apart from george Bush, he is not doing well in his voting record, which 90% of the time matched Bush, or his issues and fundraising, which Bush has helped endorse and prepare, or the people behind the scenes in McCains camp......McSame is starting to stick and thanks to the internet.....

I know Republicans want another Republican in offic, I do too, But McCain is not that guy......

Grampy McStiffy's campaign is sinking like the Titanic. Last one off is a rotten egg.

Have the lib dem Socialists done anything good for this country over the past 8 yrs? Anything?

**************************
Won't be too hard - emerged from that 110 bag of cookie dough already?

Have the lib dem Socialists done anything good for this country over the past 8 yrs? Anything?

Good! Let's get a strong message out there from mcCain about his being the better choice for President.

One thing to do is tap into the many grievances that the former Hillary suporters have with their former party. Who are we? The PUMAS! Let me assure all, our "goal" is not to beat the Republicans, it's to ensure that democracy, with a fair and free electoral system is upheld. That is why the Obama people don't get why we PUMAS are so ticked off and so intent on making sure the Selected doesn't become the next POTUS. If he had real qualifications, practiced non-Chicagoan campaign strategies, had a record we could actually review and believe in, and actually kept his word on his "positions" longer than a couple of weeks, we might actually be more inclined to listen. So we are open and ripe for the McCain camp pickings.

What the Just Say No Deal coalition of websites and supporters can not tolerate is a selected nominee (presumptive,since nothing happens until the "Roll call" at the convention) who was given delegates that Hillary won in MI. Or that he was given the "uncommited" votes in MI - since when do the rules of the DNC say that a candidate should receive delegates from voters who didn't even choose that candidate? It's about democracy stupid!

I don't trust Obama because he changes his mind on everything he says he stands for, because he cries "race" everytime someone questions why he has no record of the very "change" he talks so eloquently about. Because his resume is one of the thinnest of any presidential candidate in the history or our country. I could care less about the color of his skin or the parents he was raised by. I do care that he didn't show enough "good judgement" to leave a church where his pastor spoke divisively and racially for 20 years. The list goes on.

But the movement that is "NoBama" is not just about of lack of faith in his abilities to lead this country, but more about the fact that if we support the candidate that was shoved down our throats by the DNC, the media, and the "party leaders", rather than the one who won the popular vote, then we can offically kiss "democracy" and free elctions good by. We are no different than any country with fixed elections, propaganda and backroom deals. THAT is the goal of the JUSTSAY NO DEAL coalition of sites. Go PUMAS! Go McCain! Come and get us!

Yess we are. In spite of what CNN tells you!

Gosh, Republicans sure do like to scream about Democrats being "Socialists". You'd almost think Obama was the one who recorded Communist propaganda for the Viet Cong.

It rarely surprises me when these bold talking republicans are too gutless to sign their bada$$ postings. Rave on coward.

MCCAIN KEEPS THAT CONTORTED SMILE ON FOR THE PUBLIC--BUT IN PRIVATE, EVEN HIS POLITICAL LACKEY'S SEE HIS VENOM, AND ARE FRUSTRATED WITH NO MESSAGE, OR AT BEST MUDDLED MUMBLINGS.

Yep, a campaign with no support and no traction does a shakeup to try to get some.

It won't work.

Google "Green Zone Follies", and "McCain Navajo Peabody Western" to see why he should not be where he is.

And for the Kool-Aid overdosers on both sides, get thee to a detox facility!

"And with prices of everything going through the roof..."

------------------

Question: If you tax businesses, who do you think actually pays the tax?

Question: In Obama's plan to auction carbon credits, who do you think ultimately pays for them?

Hint: The plan is designed to reduce energy consumption and includes a $100 billion a year for the poor to pay their electricity bills.

Yep, it just gets better and better for the "Find an f'ing message...oops, watch the flip-flops" Straight talk express. Maybe Cindy can buy him a clue on her Amex card...

Is Obama a slick South Chicago Black Liberation Street Activist with ultra Liberal Socialist views?

Are we now winning in Iraq?

"ethnic slurs and racist innuendo"

Typical lib dem slug. Throwing out that tired old race card.

They will never have any solutions, never have any ideas, only whine, moan, complain and imagine or fabricate to s
