The real kicker is not just the obvious fact that the Bush administration mislead us all into war. It's that in order to maintain the fiction, lies were repeated over and over again. Even today, the Bush administration is still lying- by omission this time. The Bush admin wants to keep its long-term plan for Iraq secret from the American people. Since when did the voters get to decide if our government got to squander our military resources in one country?

I'm sure that Bush and his cohorts are furious that the Iraqis have spilled the beans, undoubetedly as a form of bargaining strategy. It kind of takes the wind out of McCain's sails to have to deal with the possibility of dozens of permanent US bases in Iraq. That's not to say he isn't supportive of that plan. Just that he, like Bush, doesn't want others to know it. After all, this is the guy who is still stinging from the backlash to his "100 yrs" comment.

I thought Solis-Doyle was given the shaft by the Cinton campaign and essentially blamed for what were Bill Clinton's and Mark Penn's problems. Patti wasn't the reason the Clinton campaign ran into trouble, but I guess she served as a convenient scapegoat. Hopefully, she will have a better experience on the Obama team if she can run her show and not be countermanded at every turn by a character like Mark Penn.

Why? It's on the TV, it's a story. It has become a story as much as the smears.

There's no way to prevent stupid people from being stupid but one can do much to swamp them with accurate information. Even Fox has run this story repeatedly. It certainly doesn't help tp take the high road like John Kerry.

Good point. Solis-Doyle should help Obama with Latino leaders. I don't know if that indicates a Richardson VP but it certainly points to Obama making an all-out play for this block of voters.

I am solidly pro-choice. What you advocate isn't choice of procreation. It's one of two others things: a loss of control over one's body (forced abortion?!) or abandonment of children. The law, rightfully, precludes both.

Nature has created something that cannot be changed by man (yet). Women carry babies. Once a woman is pregnant, that pregnancy cannot be terminated without her consent. That may seem to place men in an inferior position but then women, not men, must carry babies. That is the burden or privilege we have. Therefore, pregnancy is our choice.

Furthermore, sex is essentially the only way to naturally become pregant. Logically then, if one engages in sex, one takes on the burden/privilege of pregnancy. In short, after the test turns color is too late to complain. That's why birth control is key.

There have been legal cases where trickery or fraud is alleged in a woman becoming preganant against her partner's wishes and actions. I've never heard of a case where the man is let off the hook financially. Perhaps someone can find one out there for me. Judges usually say, "too bad, you must pay." However, in at leats one case where a scientist essentially stole her partner's sperm, the judge allowed the woman (mother) to be sued even though the dad payed support.

Well said. McCain should be embarrassed. The Internet has been around a long time. He's just lazy.

But this is America. Land of low-information voters who are easily led, like sheep. They may not have a clue as to what McCain's policies are and more importantly, what those policies mean for them, but they'll vote for the Old War Hero. Obama will need all of his "elites" to fend of the lemming brigade this go-round.

John McCain needs to be held accountable for his absurd comments about "100 yrs" or withdrawing troops not being too important. The fact is that the Bush admin and many in the GOP, including McCain, have a clear vision of the US occupying Iraq for many decades to come. This is an outrage. We are not at war with Iraq (how could we be since they didn't attack us) and we have no legitimate purpose there. We need to leave.

And like the woman in the ad says, John McCain, you can't have my son either

...for decades if need be in Iraq. Why in the world do some posters not get that this is the REAL mission in Iraq? That much should be stunningly obvious by now. The Bush admin is actively trying, as we speak, to ram through a deal allowing our troops to remain in iraq after the resolution expires this year. What does that tell you?

MoveOn members voted by 70% to back Obama. That's called democracy in action. Don't like it? Don't donate to MoveOn. Don't be a member. This org had every right to support a candidate that had the overwhelming support of their membership. Again, we call that DEMOCRACY. I know, I know. To you, democracy is Hillary Clinton sailing unopposed to the Democratic nomination because, well, she's Hillary, right?

Bravo for Obama. I could not possibly care less about the "principle" here. There is none when the other side has tens of millions of dollars and is already painting Obama as a muslim terrorist and his wife as a former Black Panther.

Screw that! Let's bury the GOP with funds raised from average americans and keep McCain out of the White House.

You're wrong. Third parties in the United States only serve to promote issues that are not being addressed by the two major-party candidates. Campaign finance reform is little understood and rarely discussed by most voters. This year, it's dead, drowning in the big issues like the economy, the Iraq War, terrorism, the housing and energy crises. You really think campaign finance principles will drive millions of voters to toss their votes to Bob Barr?

Same party, same policies, same failed results. Repeat until November 2008. It's winner.
