Bull, Obama has zero experience, has zero credibility in bipartisanship, won his pervious positions by finding "technicalities" to get his opponents off the ballots, and has shady associations.

Bush is stupid. Cheney is evil. They put us in a war that didn't need to happen, the economy is tanking and I can't afford gas for my tank - car nor heat for the house. But yeah, you go right ahead and vote for McCain and Pawlenty ---- be as dumb as Bush as you want to be. Stupid right wing nuts would vote for the republican elephant because they are too racist to ever vote for a black man. Hey, go sign up if you agree with this war so much. Or go re-enlist or whatever it is you racist rightwing chicken hawks do.

I could have maybe believed McCain...8 years ago. Then he was fighting against the extreme right wing elements of his party and the stupid "moral majority" of Falwell and goofy Pat Robertson who is waiting for the sky to fall. But in the past 8 years he would say and do anything if it meant getting to the point where he could run for president today. Compromised all of his "straight talk" principles because his ego wanted to be in the White House so bad that he completely caved in to Bush and Cheney. Voted for Bush initiatives 95% of the time. Yeah, that's independent of the stupid dumb *** alright. Republicans, you got nothin'.

McCain's Flip-Flops on Domestic Policy should attract Clinton supporters:

1. McCain wanted to change the Republican Party Platform to protect abortion rights in case of rape and incest. Now he believes the opposite.

2. In 1998, he championed raising cigarette taxes to fund programs to cut underage smoking, insisting that it would prevent and provide resources for public health programs. Now McCain opposes a $0.61-per-pack tax increase, wont commit to supporting a regulation bill he's sponsoring, and has hired a Phillip Morris former lobbyist as his senior campaign manager.

3. McCain defended "privatizing" Social Security. Now he says he's against privatization.(although he actually still supports it.)

4. McCain supported storing spent nuclear fuel at Yucca Mountain. Now he believes the opposite.

5. He argued the NRA should not have a role in the Republican Party. Now he believes the opposite.

6. On Social Security, McCain said he would not, under any circumstances, raise taxes. Soon after, asked about a possible increase in the payroll tax, McCain said there's "nothing that's off the table."
