Look, McCain's full of it, yet so many of you here get so mad. Let's just call s**t s**t and get on with fixing the country. If you don't like/know Obama after TWO YEARS, you just aren't paying attention. Guys like Letterman are doing what the media SHOULD be doing: calling foul and pointing out what these people are trying to get away with.(nuts to you, Dupage Mom!)

<quoted text>Racist past and corrupt associations? Nothing's been proven!!! But given your party's penchant for stretching the truth, why wouldn't their lemmings. Cesspool of corruption? You're splitting hairs with Alaska, aren't you? And I would always prefer a Harvard education than Ms. Palin/Mr. McCain, all things being equal.
I guess 20 years in a racist church, learning BLT racist propaganda doesnt' make you a racist, does it? Are you saying he wasn't a buddy of Ayers? Rezko? Chicago/Illinois are the most corrupt in the nation. Have you read Obama's wife's thesis?
Bush went to Havard also - so you must be happy with him! My take is that a Havard education just isn't what it used to be - although Harvard graduates still seem elitist - like those from most private schools.

Obama sat through 23 years of hateful and racist sermons of the reverend Jeremiah "God Damm America" Wright and he says he cannot remember them. If Obama cannot remember or lies about things like those sermons what happens if he gets in the White House?

Those confused people are called Obama supporters. Obama says he's black - his choice I guess. I'm telling my kids to put themselves down as black also (even though they have blonde hair and blue eyes) but - under the teachings of evolution - didn't we all come from africa? Ergo - if the son of a guy from Kenya (not a citizen) and a white woman have a kid - he gets the benefit of affirmative action to get into schools - and choose what his race is? Then so should everyone else.
Only history being made is a reaffirmation of how stupid the American public actually is.
Have you been paying attention to the events of this week?

Look up CONFUSED and you will see a picture of John McCain. In fact, in about a year they will make McCain's last name a verb!

Example:
"I'm sorry, you must have me McCained, with sombody else!?

To comment on America is normal.
Banning witches is weird.
Unfortunately America has a history of banning and hanging witches with the Salem Witch Trials that took place in Massachusetts.

LOL. That's funny. It also strikes a chord of truth. McCain's getting criticized for not believing that Palin can handle herself. Apparently, she can field dress a moose but cannot field questions from the press.

Yeah, we also ended it 300 years ago. Palin's witchdoctor got his start witchhunting a young innocent woman (who he said was causing car accidents) out of a Kenyan town.

How about an investigation over the past year on the Democrats that stole the immigration vote. The RESULTS of the investigation concluded that they did, in fact, botch the vote. An investigation is one thing, being found guilty is another.

----------

September 25, 2008

WASHINGTON — Democrats incorrectly closed a vote on the House floor in August 2007, which would have resulted in Republicans prevailing on an immigration issue, according to a special bipartisan House committee.

The committee found that "the vote tally of 212 yeas and 216 nays that was finally announced was incorrect. It is either 215 yeas and 213 nays, which would have reflected the tally at the time the chair prematurely announced the result, or 211 yeas and 217 nays."

The committee, led by Reps. Bill Delahunt (D-MA) and Mike Pence (R-IN), issued a final report on what Republicans alleged was a "stolen vote" and spent a half million dollars on an investigation.

During a rancorous House session late on the night of August 2, 2007, presiding officer Rep. Michael McNulty (D-NY) closed the vote and announced it was tied at 214-214. By rule, tie votes in the House lose. That was the result Democrats wanted on this particular vote. But the unofficial "scoreboard" in the chamber briefly flashed 215-213 in favor of the Republicans, meaning votes were still being cast electronically.

In protest, House Republicans walked out of the chamber on the next vote and demanded an inquiry.

During the investigation, which lasted more than year, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) admitted in hearings that he yelled at McNulty on the dais to shut down the vote. He also barked at the House parliamentarian, "We control this House, not the parliamentarians," when he thought they had advised McNulty to keep the vote open.

Delahunt described the investigating process as "long and tedious."

A congressman from the Bay State, Delahunt said the circumstances surrounding the vote were a "perfect storm." He also suggested that part of the problem stemmed from votes routinely being held open longer than the usual 15 minutes allowed.

Delahunt also commended McNulty for admitting his mistake in closing the vote early. He said later that there "should be more members like Mike McNulty."

"Even in error, he has made a contribution to this institution," Delahunt said.

McNulty is retiring at the end of this Congress.

The top Republican on the panel, Mike Pence, called the August vote "a dark moment" in the House.

Yes, Bush is educated, but abuse of power was his downfall. Although I didn't vote for him, He was my President, and I stood behind him. I'm not making the same mistake with his twins, McCain/Palin.

Based on McCain's and Obama's ages - it's only an 8 year diffence.
Based on everyone saying McCain is too old - maybe they should rethink their position.
I'm disgusted by this racist post and astonished there hasn't been stronger reaction to it. What are you suggesting, "noneoftheabove" -— that there's something inherent in the African-American male experience that makes it more likely they'll abuse drugs than their white counterparts? Where did you pick up this particularly nasty factoid -- at your last Klan meeting? Even a marginal moron like you can check the facts and know substance abuse is no respecter of race or sex or age. But that isn't even the most heinous part of your comment, is it? What's most disgusting about you is your closed, bigoted mind and the delusions that spring from it. I'm sickened having to share air with you and your ilk. Hateful defensiveness of your caliber leads to just one question: what are you so afraid of? Would truth -- or even just your contemplation of truth -- so destroy your worldview that your beliefs are superior and therefore constitute fact? I will do my part to make sure, come November 5, that I DEMOCRATICALLY defeat you and your candidates. Oh, and FYI, I'm a white woman... and your racist remarks are offensive to the human race.

David Letterman should do his next Top Ten list on the "Top Ten Senator's recieving the most Campaign Contributions from Freddi & Fannie executives".

Eight of the top ten would be Democrats and No. 3 would be Sen. Barak Obama.

If you think Bush is elitist, My view is lightly different than yours, since I don't consider lower 20th percentile elite. You must be pretty impressed with doctors as well, since they went to medical school. I, frankly, view 50% of doctors graduating in the bottom half of their class.
