Campaign 2008

Academic Voters Could Push Obama to Victory in Key Swing States

Although the group is solidly Democratic, McCain isn't giving up on them without a fight

Are these the educated comments????

If these are the comments from educated Democrats then maybe there are different standards of education across our country. McCain is a piece of garbage? Put Hillary on the ticket to appeal to the uneducated? I am in the healthcare field and you are mad at Sen Obama about not having a single payer health system? check out Medicare and Medicaid, the big goverment answer is not for this problem. Check out the voters that put Sen Obama over the top to beat Hillary Clinton and they were not a very educated bunch but I am sure the lemmings who follow Sen Obama would never admit that. If these are the opinions of the Obama followers than maybe I just might have to push the McCain button just to watch all of you whine four more years.

wife cheating McCain

Funny, the media turns a blind eye on the wife cheating McCain and concentrates on Edwards. Is Edwards running for president? McCain says all americans are behind Georgians... I beg to differ. After making those bold statements to Georgia and having a campaign staff who lobby's for an invading country make false promises, no one seems to follow such blunders up. So much for the foreign expert McCain. I wonder if the 'Shrub' in the white house has any thing to say. May be, we are abiding to the "New Jersey Plan." President ...and president McCain. I forgot, we have big guns and can kill the rest of the world that questions our motives and we can make all states democratic nations. The Bush/McCain ticket has the nerve to invoke invation of another country in the 21st century. Are we as a country so out of it to sense the hypocratic verse of such accusations of Russia? When you invade a Russian speaking territory, sorry you will pay the prize. It is time for the media to speak the truth and stop misleading the public. I am not advocating the move of Russia as the correct answer. Rather if we are to place blame, we as a people should hold our press and public officials to the same standards. Guess what might have happened, if Obama had make those remard by McCain to Georgia. I rest my case.

right on target

Evangelicals are no better than Muslim fanatics. In fact, although both religions boast peace and love via their prophets word, they are both war mongers and love the military. Where i live i am surrounded by those morons and it is simply impossible to have an intelligent rational conversation with them. When their backs are to the wall they close the conversations with "youll be going to hell young man if youre not careful" "never mind what you say it is written therefore it must be so" and finally, the coupe de grace "god wrote the bible how can he be wrong?"

well the earth isnt the center of the world but that doesnt seem to matter much.

Next step folks, dont miss the "Torquema returns" opening to box offices in South Carolina and Mecca.

Voter IQ

Let's face it, 1/2 of all citizens are of below average intelligence, which goes a long way towards explaining how we ended up with 'Shrub' as president - twice.

John McCain is a Worthless Piece of Garbage

John McCain is a Worthless Piece of Garbage

Enough said.

I have viewed many hottest videos at a interracial singles dating site--- {{{{mixedloving .com}}}}}---- many black and white singles who are seeking for ideal match seriously there..

Something is Wrong Here

To pick up on "Irony", I wonder if it is troubling anybody but me that our government is chosen by the least educated, least exposed, least traveled, least informed, most provincial, most superstitious, and most bigoted of our fellow-citizens. Is this really the best we can do? Not long ago I read that in a survey, more people could name the Three Stooges than the three branches of government. Populism On Steroids gave us the last eight years. I feel scared and sick at my stomach when I contemplate the possibility of this history repeating itself.

Money and Sex for Political Ambitions

Adultery cast a shadow on a person's ethics. It does not necessarily mean that the offending person is a bad person but it defines one’s credibility and respect of the political office held or being aspired.

John McCain had a well-documented affair on his first wife, with his current wife. He even married her before a divorce was legally granted. Simply, because Cindy was young, beautiful and rich enough to support his political ambitions. But he then later went on to cheat on Cindy with a much young and beautiful lobbyist Vicki Iseman.

Vicki Iseman represented telecommunication companies on the Senate Commerce Committee that John chaired. They contributed tens of thousands of dollars to McCain's campaigns. In return, McCain championed de-regulation for them. He pressured the FCC to uphold marketing agreements that allows television companies to control two stations in the same city and introduced a bill to create tax incentives program for them. Two times, he tried to advance legislation that would permit a company to control television stations in overlapping markets. If John Edwards' political career is over, why isn't John McCain's? Is McCain credible enough to be trusted to serve as a President? Once one is a cheater, will always be a Cheater.

no hillary

Hillary on the ticket would be suicide. The only people who want this are Hillary Partisans. If Hillary was on the ticket, I and most people i know, would just not vote.

Obama has it in the bag, and all the Hillary pessimism wont change that at all. She is dead weight.

Education does not denote intelligence

Why would anyone vote for another free market zealot like Bush and McCain. Obama's market based health care plan shows he places the market before the health of the American people. We have had a failed free market based healthcare system for ever and it is full of corporate fraud as is the market based Medicare part D. I am a dissapointed democrat. Obama is doing what the free market republicans did to their party in 1994-he is destroying the democratic party for a free market corporate supremacy America.
