@ Hootowl

Ah yes... the "center" can you explain what that is please?

Over the past 8 years, the center as accepted by most people I talk to is when the Democratic party caves in to the demands of the Republicans. In other words, Bush's version of "compromise"

Please explain to me what actual policy positions someone in the "center" cares about. And please don't go into a drone about "jes plain folks can't relate to the liberal elite"

Then explain how exactly John McCain fulfills those policies - and the desires of "centrists" better than Obama.

Also, explain to me how Barrack Obama's voting record is any more "left" leaning than the average Democratic Senator.

Don't come on here and spew BS without backing it up please.

@ hootowl

Once again-

You are making things up.

Most of America (according to most polls) does NOT subscribe to the homophobic, racist, and misogynistic social agenda of the right wing (what you call the center).

Also, I think most families want their young men and women in the military to actually fight for something real... and your true colors are shown... We can not afford as a country to blow smoke up each others collective asses to coddle people who are offended by reality. Iraq was an unjustified war and that is reality - why should we say any different?

I remember all the faux outrage over Clinton sending troops to Bosnia - where were you then? I don't remember any republicans or "centrists" crying that we should just line up behind the president because the troops families would be upset. Spare me please.

And once again - you can't explain what the center is. You are talking about emotional crap that has nothing to do with the job of the president or the rest of the government.

@ Hootowl

So why does 61% of the electorate think the Iraq war was not worth it? I think you should tell them that they are not in the mainstream of opinion... lol...

I'm tired of doing the Trolls homework for them... sheesh.

Oh OK... Once again - name calling and anger from one of the resident trolls.. I guess I'm getting under your skin. Wow - you have a temper just like John McCain. Hope you don't run for president either.

Please do your homework and come back when you have some facts and figures to cite.

@ artarat

"Eskimo" is considered a slur... He is part Inuit - I can see it in his face, and in the face of his children... It's subtle, but it's there.

I could care less about the "First Dude" or "First Dud" whatever you want to call him. Keep these people away from teh levers of power or we are all going to be very sorry.

Well Duh!!!

McLame's whole campaign is run by these dirtbags... What a surprise.

The real problem is that nobody cares. He's a Maverick War Hero Action Figure. All he needs is he GW Bush Flight Suit complete with cod piece and Mission Accomplished banner and he can defeat Iran and Russia in the first week of his presidency.

Oh - and he can relate to "jes folks". So he'll probably win as our ever waning national intelligence falls a few more IQ points and the "heartland" or "regular murikans" are distratced by another shiny object. "Look over there! A woman who hates women just as much as you do!"

As a Jew myself...

I can tell you that the Likudniks and Neocons are just insuring the ultimate destruction of Israel.

Jews who support John McCain / Republicans are simply looking for someone who will OK war with Iran.

@ rupert_c

Sir-

You really are an A**hole. Making comments about someone's dead family is really pretty beyond the pale.

Why don't you crawl back up John McCain's bunghole where you belong.

Surprise!!!!

Palin, Palin, Palin, Palin.... All day and all night...

Can you guys PUHLEEEZE find something more useful to write about? You would think that no one else is actually running for office this year!?

How about some positive articles on Obama or Biden? Give us something to vote FOR instead of all this gossip magazine crap all this time.

I am seriously thinking about canceling my subscription to this rag.

Wow...

This is such transparent BS it really is mind-boggling...

Can't McPinky and the Brain work on the "negotiations" remotely? And then do the debate in the evening?

This is a naked ploy for attention from SOMEBODY!

Maybe McMoron's campaign is it's "last throes"

Black bands deserve more of the spotlight....

When I was in high school - my favorite band was Bad Brains. Bad Brains were an all black punk / hardcore band from NYC by way of DC. They laid down the template for all of the super- fast punk and hardcore that followed. Another black artist setting the trends for those who would follow.

Great strategy...

Send it to Joe....

I don't think Sarah Palin is an expert on anything other than opportunisim. She will rebut facts... with gibberish. And although she may have won the Alaska debates on style - she is dealing with a much more wide ranging set of issues that many people have formed opinions about - if she can't clearly state what she thinks on a given subject, she'll go down in flames on the national stage. Also, Biden should give her enough dead air to hang herself with - just let her ramble, she's more than likely to screw up several dozen times.
