Cheap Car Rentals

With the cost of gas going down so rapidly latley do you think it is cheaper to drive than fly when traveling?

dealing fairly with democrats

Considering the fact that Obama has had the mainstream media and popular culture in his pocket from day one, I don't blame Republicans for fighting in any way they see fit. I learned years ago that there is simply no way to deal fairly with unfair people.

"Experience"?!?!?

Interesting how the libs (including this bozo) keep attacking Palin for her lack of "experience". Do the math and tell me how much more (or less) "experience" Obama (who happens to be running for the #1 job) actually has. He has spent a good chunk of his time as a U.S. Senator campaigning to be president....that's "experience"?!?!?! Geez! I guess when I interview for a new job I've never held, I get instant credit for having "experience" in that field sheerly because I interviewed for it. Nice how that works, eh?

You can put a set of ears on Dumbo. But he is still Dumbo.

Obama/McCain-Palin

Our Nation's soul is sick. Perhaps we should find the next president on the "America's Got Talent" show? The dumbing of America is well under way. This Nation is rotting from the inside out. To Osama Bin Laden: just be patient man, we'll be up for grabs without you having to lift a finger!

Experience

Seems Palin has more experience than Obama, although not as much bull and without all the but, but, but. Every question he is asked, comes back with "but". That gives him time to think up some kind of a political answer.

Separation of Powers

We shouldn't worry about how dirty the Republicans are or how thin skinned the Democrats are. Just vote according to the checks and balances provided in our constitution, which were designed to allow each branch to restrain abuse by each other branch.Forget party lines. If the Legislative and Executive branch is of the same party, there is no check or balance. This election, try to think on your own. If you believe the Democrats will retain control of the Legislative branch - vote Republican. If you believe the Republicans will control the Legislative branch - vote democrat. Simple, isn't it.

GO McCain 08
