First, on the question of whether or not the candidates would consider appointing someone to the Supreme Court who disagreed with them on issues, such as Roe v. Wade, did McCain say that in making appointments he would not use a litmus [test] of whether or not they agreed with him, but would instead make appointments based on qualifications, and then after clarification state that no one he feels is qualified would have a different opinion than him on the issue of Roe v. Wade? So, is this not a litmus test for him to measure qualification?

Next, did McCain actually refer to the assassination of JFK as “the intervention?” This really concerns me considering the recent instigations of violence by the republican candidates and the prejudice and hate language that the republican candidates have used toward persons from the Middle East and those of the Muslim (all of which are not fundamentalist) religion. Even though Obama is neither of this origin nor of this religion, their intention is to try and associate him with both, thus inciting violent hatred toward him. Aside from the fact that it is no more acceptable to incite prejudice and hatred toward Muslims and other Middle Eastern individuals than it would be toward African Americans, they are doing this and attempting to get radicals to believe that Obama is one or the other, or both, but they are really putting many people who are of this origin and religion in extreme danger. Are they perhaps suggesting to the radicals who attend their rallies that an assassination would be an “intervention”?

Next, did McCain say that his solution for the problem of education is to give Washington D.C. residents an advantage over the rest of the nation by increasing the number of them who receive vouchers, while leaving some Washington residents who can’t afford the difference in tuition cost even with a voucher to suffer through public schools along with all the other states in the country, schools that he then intends to fill with uncertified, and thus possibly unqualified pseudo teachers?

Finally, is Joe the plumber the same Joe Wurzelbacher from Ohio who already owns a plumbing business, and a construction business, and JCC Investments (the company listed at the same address as the plumbing and construction businesses that has an income of 2.5 million dollars a year?)

These are the questions that are keeping me up tonight, I think that I surely must have misheard some of this, because these crazy dystopian ideals could not possibly be coming from a candidate for president of the country that leads the free world.

One thing that bothered us, though, was Obama’s closing statement:

You know, my father came from Kenya. That’s where I get my name.

And in the ’60s, he wrote letter after letter to come to college here in the United States because the notion was that there was no other country on Earth where you could make it if you tried. The ideals and the values of the United States inspired the entire world.

I don’t think any of us can say that our standing in the world now, the way children around the world look at the United States, is the same.

And part of what we need to do, what the next president has to do–and this is part of our judgment, this is part of how we’re going to keep America safe–is to–to send a message to the world that we are going to invest in issues like education, we are going to invest in issues that–that relate to how ordinary people are able to live out their dreams.

And that is something that I’m going to be committed to as president of the United States.

Barack Obama may be the world’s leading expert on Barack Obama, but he managed to misstate a crucial fact in his father’s life story. Obama père came to the U.S. in September 1959.

We get more illegals either way. We get liars and exaggerators either way. We get ignorance and deadly preconceived notions either way. We will have either a tunnel vision olster or a rank, smooth talking neophyte at the helm as we course through the failures of our financial system–one going to sleep, or the other just itching to dump cash onto his followers by any means possible, or to just be “present”. In this time, it may be fortunate that there will not be much free cash floating around!

It is just that each candidate has his flaws in different areas of governance. There must be some sort of spillover of incompetence from the faulty areas to the supposedly correct areas as well. At least McCain has some experience in military affairs. Obama has none.

We are screwed in 08, but less so with McCain. The real problem is going to be the Congress under the left’s creamy, slippery hands, and with too many RINOs and spenders on the right.
Keeping the Presidency in Republican hands seems to be the only brake we csn possibly have on a wild ride for America.

Low class jerk.

Hey, easy there skippy, your Cubbies haven’t won anything yet, so you might want to hold back on the cockiness, lol. And, I have friends in France that do think Obama has a tail. (yes, I need new friends)

Good luck in the playoffs……
see you in the Series.

WHAT?!?! Obama got schooled as a complete and utter moron who compounds his errors by being stubborn about them, who falsely used Kissinger as a reference which Kissinger says is wrong, and who had 3 positions on Georgia and basically just ended up coming around to McCain’s first instinct.

Obama is the least qualified candidate for President in a long time and will indeed be dangerous for our long-term national security. it boggles my mind that we’d pick the neophyte who was wrong about the surge over the maverick McCain who was right about the surge, right about Fannie Mae, right about 9/11 commission, and right about many other things..
