How to Beat a Rock Star: ‘Substance.’

Yes, wrong change. It's always wrong to make "drastic changes" in the make up and structure of our system especially at times like this. I would hope for Hillary to win Democratic Nominee. At least either one of them, my beloved country's system remains in tact. Look at 2004, those Republicans holding both White House and Congress maintained the status quo and order maintained by both Republican and Democratic leaders of the past who might be bickering, both their general interests are centric.,... meaning the same.... MARKET-DRIVEN ECONOMY. Your Nominee-select Obama's viewpoint are fundamentally SOCIALIST. A Young leader (46) with attraction to young voters have been the main ingredient of most cruel, deviant imperialists such as Hitler, Mao Tse Tung.... you may even call your very own JFK who went to war in Vietnam without any valid cause .... no 9/11.

I actually wish Gen. Colin Powell running for President.. . . Maybe next time, although he has stated in the past that he was not interested in the job.

Zombie, Barack Obama never even met his half brother Malik until three years after his father died, when Barack was in his mid-twenties. Malik never spent one instant with Barack as children, so how would Malik know anything about Barack's childhood?

Furthermore, Malik recently was quoted as saying that he felt Barack would be a good President for the Jewish people, and that Barack would not take the Muslim side in the Israel/Palestine conflict.

I haven't seen the website you mention, but I bet it is brought to you by Operation Chaos. The website is called "Stuck on Stupid" How very appropriate.

So, sharenews, now Obama's expected to MEMORIZE all the intricate DETAILS of entire speeches, not just the gists of them, just to prove that he wholeheartedly believes/supports waht he's saying? Do you expect McCain to memorize his speeches dwon to the last detail? I didn't think so. So McCain's gaffes have to do with not being able to read the teleprompter, Obama's with losing the teleprompter altogether, but they are to be compared as somehow the same? Really? Why does Obama have to show himself better to be considered equal, superior to be viewed as better? Age can't be used against McCain nor gender against Hillary, but race sure as hell is used against Obama, masked as uneasiness with inexperience and doubts about religion and patriotism. (Do McCain and Hillary always wear flag pins? I don't seem to recall seeing one always on the lapel of her pantsuits. Are their churches' beliefs being explored? No? No youtube videos there? I wonder why.) Whatever. You're getting really transparent, share.

Obama's gaffes are charming. McCain's gaffes are senile. You're funny, share.

Wasn't your main argument against the "Gas Holiday" that the oil companies would just raise prices to compensate for the tax burden? What do you think the Corporation will do when Obama taxes the hell out of them? You think they will take in the rear from the government and give more money to R&D? Or will they raise prices, cut R&D funding to raise their stock prices? 99.999% will do the later.

Nins, what's Sen. McGreen's (BamBam) definition of the Middle-Class. GIve me some numbers. Heck I know, but why don't you post your great numbers and stats like you always do for everybody else to see.

Let's do talk about character, shall we? McCain's character= 1) cheated on his ill and crippled 1st wife and then divorced her because she wasn't going to recover and of course couldnt handle that. Talk about a cop out. 2) Calls his second wife a despicable word. 3) A shame. I used respect him for being a war hero until I learned of this.

Hey BoogieShoes! Believing in Lib-Bias Polls is the same as believing in the Tooth Fairy and/or Easter Bunny. Would you like a rotten egg? LOL!!!

very well said, the blogger below said vote McCain it's a matter of character,
for me it's beyond character it's who can bring our troops home from a war that's been going on for over 6 1/2 years, it's about our soldiers living in terrible conditions. It's about our economy foreclosures, high gas prices, among other things that weaking our Country day after day.

It's about the Bush administration that have me and millions of other Americans wondering what happen to our government, we are not respected, we have isolated our Country because of people desires to be BIG AND BAD, Mr. tough guy Bush, now he is on his way back to his texas ranch filty rich, along with Mr. Cheney who is still receiving money from Halenburton, who are over in Iraq working contracts.

Mr. McCain who stands on the side of Mr. Bush shows me how sick he is and his policies, there's nothing he can say, to defend a man who's ratings are lower than anyone in Presidental history is madness.

I will take my vote which I cherish dearly and proudly vote Obama

Its fear politics stars. The Dems, who have been crying out about the use of fear politicking during the 2004 election, are using the same tactics. The Democrats never expected McCain to be the nominee, they expected another right wing whacko like Huckabee or Guiliani to be the nominee, the road to the White House would be easy. I can't talk for everyone but I know a lot of Clinton Dem's could and never would vote for those guys. The Dems would still be using the same, "HuckaBush" or "Bushiani" to tie them all to Bush.
There was an article on RCP (I'm sure since I can't remember the title some will say it never happened) that during the last DNC meeting the top Dems, couldn't stop talking about "McBush" but didn't have much to say about Obama. You'd thing with the era of "New Politics" they would be talking more about how great and wonderful Obama is and let that be enough to persuade the electorate to vote for him right?
Obama and the DNC keep talking about "100 years in Iraq." (http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/smear_or_be_smeared.html) *there a credible link for you*
Clearly taking that "sound bite" out of context btu crying out when Wright was "taken out of context."
Now they can't stop talking about Abortion. Saying that McCain is going to make Abortion illegal. Another flat out lie, the reason they are scared is because *IF* McCain picks someone like Scalia, then the court will over turn Roe and you know what happens then....this is what the Dems fear... Its goes back to the STATES. Remember that pesky Bill of Rights, there was one on there about States rights. I find this especially funny because thats the argument the Dems use for Same Sex Marriage, that it is a state issue.
Somewhere in the surge for Change, the Dems wheels have fallen somewhere. They are too drunk for the prospect of at least 2 years of Absolute Power , that they forget how much they have been complaining about the vulgar display of power the GOP has had for the last 6 years. If I see Obama beating McCain in the polls come November, I'm voting straight GOP in all congressional and my one Senatorial elections this year. I'm more afriad of what kind of mess the Dems will do with all that power than anything else. That said I really do support McCain. I liked him ever since 1999 when he first started to run. I never really cared much for Gore, but against Bush that was a no brainer, same for Kerry. Kerry wasn't the best the Dems could have put up but against Bush no brainer. You have to question the judgment on some of these, Republican voting for Obama. Are they such great judge of characters when they voted for Bush twice?

READ MY LIPS!!!

John McCain, nor BO, is going to touch Roe vs. Wade! STOP THE GOP FEAR MONGERING! You DemKats crack me up, you'll use the exact same "scare tactics," right out of the GOP Playbook, in a devious attempt to gain Hill supporters. Shame on you!

Please, let's all come together and do the WRIGHT THING! Meeeeoooow!

No, bella, YOU are wrong. "MCCAIN IS A TRAITOR"

CNN did a piece on McCain where he admitted giving the N. Vietnamese strategic points of U.S. soldiers. In return, he received favorable treatment from his captors. He revealed military positions, and aided in anti-US propaganda during his capture. That's called "RATTING OUT YOUR BUDDIES".

Google- "POWs against John McCain" or,

It's a fact that McCain's daddy and grandaddy helped conceal by using their Naval status to classify the transcripts of his capture. Most POWS documents were declassified, while McCain's were still being protected.

Re: "war cooked up by the bushies"

I totally agree with you here! I think most people realize now that the war was cRoOked up by Global Elitist, which includes the Bushies, Klintoonies and the Blair-witch doctor and Co. (and many other Global Elitist). There are numerous reasons why the war was really started, but most people know now that it definitely wasn't over WMD's. LOL!

But hindsight is 20 / 20. With the exception of the new Messiah (BO - yeah right!), we all pretty much got buffaloed! The current Admin and Big Corp Media sold us all a crock of BS. But that's neither here, nor there now. "W" has made a mess and John McCain will have to do his best to fix things. As we all know now, it's not gonna be easy. But at least John has the experience to get the job done!

I'm sorry, Bella, but in his autobiography, John McCain admits to collaborating with the enemy while he was a POW.

Me personally, I do not hold this against him. Lord knows what a person will do when tortured.

What I do hold against McCain is the fact that he blocked a bill to allow families of POWs and MIAs to gain access to their loved one's military records. This bill passed the House of Representatives with an overwhelming bi-partisan 100% of the Representatives voting in favor of it. It then was sent to the Senate, but it never reached the Senate floor, because John McCain killed it in committee.

McCain says that his reason for opposing this bill was because "There were no POWs left behind in Vietnam." Even if this is true (and that is a big if), McCain's reasoning is specious. His excuse does not address the MIAs, or the the fact that the families of both the POWs and the MIAs wanted access to their loved one's records for personal and sentimental reasons, to help them heal and grieve. During the committee hearings, John McCain's angry badgering reduced a mother of a MIA to tears on national TV. He actually was calling her names and telling her she would never, ever see her son's file.

Why would McCain do such a thing? Why would he refuse to allow families access to the loved one's records? Why would he kill a compassionate bill in committee, never letting it reach the floor? It is because he knew that if he allowed that bill to go to a vote it surely would have passed, and then HIS military records would be open to public scrutiny, and the world would have cold hard facts about exactly how much he collaborated with the enemy.
