    Comment: 4+ a gallon. If Israel bombs Iran US gets involved, McBushes wet dream, except we have NO military to support a third war, more of our children die, which if fine with McCain as he does not support them anyway oh yeah, soon 7-8/gallon.

    McCain-Killing and Drilling now
    "Handsome"-kNOws it will have no immediate effect on prices and infact would take years and caot billions to even get to, cost passed on to the US in dollars on the gallon, and if there ever was oil found, NO promise from any of the US oil folks to NEVER RAISE PRICES AGAIN ABOVE 1$ a gal.

    McCain-Nucular Energy Plants Now but also thinks that NE plants have root and grow in the ground
    "Handsome"- tells George Bush the word is NUCLEAR...

    McCain-Clean Coal Energy Now, thinks this means polishing all the little pieces of coal, insists this would be a great job for illegals.
    "Handsom"-NO problem with it at all, unless you ask Sean Hannity.

    McCain-Shale Oil Now, thinks that Shale is another faction of epople from Iraq, sunni Shia, Shale, and "What the hell is a Kurd."
    "Handsome"-NO problem here either, wow he's on the ball.

    McCain-Independent from Middle East Oil or stay in Iraq for 100 yrs? What ever comes first
    Hussein-kNOws, they are out of oil in Saudi in 2015, let them dry up and blow away. along with the oil a$$es here.

    McCain-American Hero, crashed 5 fighters before being shot down, cried "my daddy is an admiral" when he was caught, willingly did 32 propagnada films for the VC, earning the nickname ":Song Bird" (google it)because as soon as he was caught he started singing for the enemy, lied to America's POWs when he said he wouild never politicize his status as a "pow", and then never stopped doing it. Turned his back on our troops on the recent GI Bill Vote, where he no showed and no voted because he was to afraid to face the music and just vote against it...my hero.
    Hussein-Not only out of power but DEAD and even though that was our "mission" we are still in Iraq and our children are still sying,

    Newsweek was the only place that said Obama was up by 15 , now they say 3 , I think Newsweeks polling is the problem. Reality is its close , its Obama by about 5-6 % , and its all meaningless until the two candidates debate.

  • Posted By: jefal @ 07/11/2008 10:33:32 PM

    And I am saying loud and clear that if Obama doesn't choose Hillary Clinton as his VP he is done with me. It will be another lost vote for Obama because I will go for McCain and the Democratic party will have another lost presidential campaign. I guess they miss calculate this one, Hillary would have done a lot better than Obama. Read my lips NOBAMA. 08.

    During this past week: McCain called the most important entitlement program in the U.S. a disgrace, his top economic adviser called the American people whiners, McCain released an economic plan that no one thought was serious, he flip flopped on Iraq, joked about the deaths of Iranian citizens, and denied making comments that he clearly made -- TWICE. All this and it is only Friday! Yet watching and reading the mainstream press you would think McCain was having a pretty decent political week, I mean at least Jesse Jackson didn't say anything about him.

    1. McCain unambiguously called Social Security "an absolute disgrace."

    2. McCain's top economic policy adviser (This is the guy that is designing his economic policy) calls Americans a bunch of "whiners" for being worried about the slumping economy

    3. Iraqi leaders call for a timetable for U.S. withdrawal, McCain gets caught in a bizarre denial and flip flop.

    4. McCain's economic plan to cut the deficit has no details and is simply not believable.

    5. McCain's deficit plan includes bringing the troops home represents a major Iraq flip-flop.


    6. McCain campaign misled about economists support. Signatures of more than 300 economists who the campaign claimed to support the plan. Only problem is that the economists were actually asked to sign up to SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Um, hello?

    7. McCain makes a joke about killing Iranians.

    8. McCain denies, flatly, that he ever said that he is not an expert in economics. Are you kidding?

    9). McCain distorts his record on veterans benefits in response to a question from Vietnam Veteran, who then proceeds to call McCain out on it.

    10.) McCain demonstrates he knows nothing about Afghanistan and Pakistan.

        Still going strong, as it has been. unlike your guy McLilBush, busy trying to clean up the horse sh!t that bush has dropped everywhere in cluding all over mccain, but of course that was consentual ;)

  • Posted By: Charles Q. @ 07/11/2008 10:28:14 PM

    If McCain would change his stance on the tax breaks so they favored the middle class and the lower class instead of the waelthy and large buinesses,he just might be able to pull it off.I would rather see him then Obama.Not because I'm a racists but the man has virtually no experience or knowledge really to run a country

    It just shows that your poll is wrong now and wrong before. The Newsweek polls have never even been close. Tell me one time when they have been right. It is a close race nationally. But from state to state it is either Obama way ahead or McCain way ahead. Newsweek needs to get out of the poll business.

    • Posted By: ara9557 @ 07/11/2008 10:25:15 PM

      Seems that you are suffering from the audacity of hope. It is going to be a close race so hold on to your seat my friend. If Obama does come out and be straight forward in what he believes, he is going to lose. He is all over the place and it appears that he is not a new type of politician, but the same thing we have been seeing for years dressed in new cloths. He has to quit being negative and talking about where he wants to take America. I doubt that he as any ideas... Seems to me that he is empty.

  • Posted By: marianrockwood @ 07/11/2008 9:26:57 PM

    yeah! What can I say. The American people will come out and elect my man John McCain.

    • Posted By: HDavidson @ 07/11/2008 9:39:19 PM

      Which John McCain would that be, 1994, 96, 2000, 04, 06, 08? Which one were you hoping for?

    The Democrat's Un-Vetted Nominee.
    . A disturbing insight into Barack Obama???s psychological makeup is revealed in three of Obama???s recent comments: (1) Speaking to the student body at Dartmouth - ???A light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Barack.???; (2) Speaking after a primary victory - ???This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.??? ; and, (3) Responding in an interview as to the definition of sin, he responded -???Being out of alignment with MY values.??? ASTOUNDING.
    Obama???s commentary clearly identifies him as possessing a dangerously narcissistic personality. He unquestionably has a mental disorder characterized by an extreme sense of his own importance, which readily explains the context of his San Francisco comments where he belittled those living in ???small town??? America who he clearly perceived as inferior to his self- constructed status of superiority.
    Obama???s admitted heavy marijuana and cocaine use in high school and college may well have played a decisive role in the development of Obama???s inflated sense of his own importance; and, his pretentious demeanor. Heavy drug use can lead to hallucinations concerning ones status of grandiosity. Another clue is Obama???s frequent confused and unintelligible babblings whenever he is subjected to a public forum where he is devoid of a prepared text by his handlers to read from; which is the reason that Obama's controllers will resist any attempt to have their candidate exposed to town-hall style forums.
    Unequivocally, this man, who has exhibited a profound lack of common-sense, should never be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office. Greg Neubeck

    While surfing the net on 'Stumble', I came across an interview with President Bush on Irish television that caused a bit of a storm in 2004. The interview conducted by the tenacious Carol Coleman of Radio Television Ireland was not aired on American television, and Bush's press officers apparently complained vociferously about the rigorous questioning.

    The video shows Bush at the absolute peak of his arrogance -- convinced of his own rhetoric about Iraq, flooded with confidence from international subservience to American power, and high off a crushing military victory that reinforced his childish fantasies of American power and preeminence.

    The problem was, Coleman was having none of it, and what transpired was a unique insight into the warped brain of the least respected and most hated president in the history of the United States.

    Interview is below


  • Posted By: Driver of wagons @ 07/11/2008 10:07:21 PM



    "Mr. President," she asked the stone faced Coleman. "You're going to arrive in Ireland in about 24 hours' time, and no doubt you will be welcomed by our political leaders. Unfortunately, the majority of our public do not welcome your visit because they're angry over Iraq, they're angry over Abu Ghraib. Are you bothered by what Irish people think?"

    Other than stutter, the president managed only to answer in vacant homilies about 'the great values of our country.'

    "We are a compassionate country," he asserted. "We're a strong country, and we'll defend ourselves -- but we help people."

    And that was about the depth of his explanation for the invasion of Iraq. Supremely satisfied with his own answers, Bush expected Coleman to be bowled over with his 'good ol' plain speakin' English', but Coleman, not infected with the American media's insatiable appetite to service power, had other ideas.

    She continued to grill Bush about the rising violence in Iraq, increased world wide threat of terrorism, and failure to find the weapons of mass destruction. Flustered and unaccustomed to serious challenges to his power, Bush displayed flashes of anger, and an increased reliance on catch phrases to argue the unarguable.

    "These people are willing to kill innocent people," he answered testily in response to questioning about the Iraqi death toll. "They're willing to slaughter innocent people to stop the advance of freedom. And so the free world has to make a choice: Do we cower in the face of terror, or do we lead in the face of terror?"

    Coleman cut through the simplistic slogans about evil doers and freedom loving Americans and continued to ask Bush serious questions about the illegal war he had just launched. It fast became evident that this was a man who really had no idea what he was doing -- someone so removed from reality that he failed to even understand what he was being asked.

    The world in Bush's mind exists of good and evil, right and wrong, and America and everyone else. He could not fathom anyone disagreeing with his nobility, and simply refused to acknowledge that a different account of reality existed.

    The interview took place almost four years ago, but is the perfect illustration of a man elected purely on name recognition, dirty money, and no discernible talent. Four years ago, there were still enough Americans who believed Bush's infantile bluster was charming and direct. Now, even Republicans do not waste their time with him, quietly wishing he would disappear and stop embarrassing their party.

    The interview with Coleman should go down on record as definitive proof of Bush's utter incompetence, a priceless picture of a madman who had no business occupying the highest office of the land.

    What's going on here. Is the "bounce" a BUST????............................

    Friday, July 11, 2008
    The race for the White House is getting a bit closer. The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Barack Obama???s lead over John McCain down to a statistically insignificant single percentage point, 43% to 42%. Prior to today, Obama had enjoyed at least a four-point advantage every day since Hillary Clinton dropped out of the race over a month ago. This is the first time his support has fallen below the 45% level since May 31.

    NOBAMA!!!

  • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 07/11/2008 9:39:28 PM

    Can you believe this??? I'll wager that Alter, and his fellow Hussein groupies, either did not know this story would air, or left in a hissy fit.

    Too late NewsWeak. People read your stuff online. It gives us a feel, for the loonies positions, but we ain't gonna waste money, for your BS. That's why ya'll are so deep, in the RED. Should have tried being real journalists, a while back. You could have really gotten your audience back. Guess Emporeer Soros said NO.

    JonJon...quit crying...It will be alright. Hussein will still go limo ridin', with you. He keeps his promises. Yeah...Right. FISA anyone???

    NOBAMA!!!

      And that fact that you also keep calling Obama "Handsome" I love it, you are comming arround ;)

  • Posted By: Arizona1 @ 07/11/2008 9:43:19 PM

    McCain has flip flopped on every major issue. He has also lied about how he voted in the past. Now he has come out against social security and his top economic adviser has said that every thing in the US economy is fine as we pay $.4.00 + for gas and food goes sky high. But why worry Cindy McCain has helped the economy by charging $750,000 on her credit card in one month. (Now there is an elitist)

      freedom requires sacrifice (which most are not wiling to do). freedom isn't free! oops...sorry, i'm sounding brain washed again!

      • Posted By: HDavidson @ 07/11/2008 9:44:16 PM

        No you're right, according to GW McCain, "freedom's cost so far has been almost 8000 Amecican lives, and 12billion American dollars a month, oh yeah and in addition there MUST BE NO SUPPORT FOR TROOPS like bush and mccain show.
        Your not brain washed, you lack the required equipment ;)

      Never thought I would say it but over time, and ofter seeing Hillary side by side with Obama, I do think she is without a doubt a better choice. With a choice of Obama or McCain I choose McCain.

      • Posted By: Richard1327 @ 07/11/2008 9:20:14 PM

        Hillary has the policies and the plans and she wants to help the people. Obama just wants to be king of the world cuz it's cool, but all this election stuff is just getting in the way.

        • Posted By: HDavidson @ 07/11/2008 9:41:07 PM

          OMG, is thattired old drum being beaten again...lol If she can behave, IF she can seperate herself from bushlike policies or Iran/Israel/Iraq, etc if she can do that....maybe 2012.

        • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 07/11/2008 9:40:58 PM

          You told the entire story. Very short and sweet, and 100% correct.

  • Posted By: clikdawg @ 07/11/2008 9:40:22 PM

    Let's simplify the discussion, 'kay? All you and I are being asked to vote for is which personality we prefer to tell us what has already been decided about the course of this country for the next four to eight years: the President of the United States is to the people who actually run the nation as the Presidential Press Secretary is to the President himself. No more and no less. A talking head by whom a presumed majority(!) of us would rather be snowed. Personally, I think either of these two Fine Americans would make a terrific new Puppet-in-Chief -- and very little else ...

  • Posted By: RO in Reno @ 07/11/2008 9:38:14 PM

    I suspect it was the move to the middle, I for one was offended when Obama made the faith based support statement.
    Not offended enough to not vote for him, That would require a whole lot more than that, perhaps if he were arrested for indecent exposure I would consider not voting at all rather than vote against the best interests of America as so many seem willing to do.

  • Posted By: HDavidson @ 07/11/2008 9:36:40 PM

    ManDr, are you trying to say you think he's "Handsome"?

    BOTH HAVE DROPPED equally, and OBAMA or as you call him B. Handsome Obama, STILL leads, plus, DUH! it's summer, tlak to me after Laborday ;)
