@ Terkoy...

Hello Mr. Troll...

Ahhh... the bogus "you can't get good healthcare in the UK" argument.

Look you jackass... in both Canada and the UK you CAN get private insurance and pay for private medical care out of pocket if you have the money to do so... I am so sick of this bullshit argument it makes me want to rip my hair out.

My wife's family lives in both England and Ireland and would NEVER trade the national health system for the mess we have here.

Over and over again this BS has been proven WRONG but you keep feeding everyone lies. Or are you just a naive idiot who will believe anything that Rush Limbaugh shoves down your throat?

@ terkoy

...If the name fits....

BTW... Spain also has national health. So I'm not sure what Castro was getting that you are so hyper about.

Yes... I'm sure Obama plans to turn America into a Marxist state... Just like Bill Clinton did, and Jimmy Carter, and Kennedy, and FDR etc...

Socialism is already here, as it is in all developed countries. Socialism pays for your police, your fire dept., your roads, your educational system, etc... etc...

Please, cry me a river about socialism when someone robs your house and you call the police on my dime.

Lots of padding in this article...

I'm from Chester county PA as well, and let's get real folks... Bucks county is the land of multi-acre estates and McMansions just like Chester county. I'm not sure what part of Bucks county this guy is from... but I can't afford to live there.

Bucks county is not a working-class area.

Also, articles like this make things seem much more complicated than they are. I am willing to bet that most people who say they are "undecided" at this late date won't bother to show up at the polls. Come on folks... there are 2 choices. Pick one and move on. It's not that hard.

Either stick with the people who have been bending us over for the last 8 years or vote for someone who might actually do something to help you.

HE'S BLACK!!!! HE'S BLACK!!!! HIDE YOUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN!!!!

Don't you people get it already?

This more race baiting from the southern strategy...

Oooohhhh... Obama is going to turn the country over to the Black Panthers.

Who in their right mind would believe that Malcolm X is Barack Obama's father? Nobody... It's just more insinuation that, you know, he really is a black dude. And you should be afraid.

Really pathetic.

@ Elephantitus

Ahhh... Elephant dung is back...

Look pal - the point with the dropped g's is that it's every other word out of her mouth.

No matter, we won't be hearing from you OR her after the 4th...

Shove that up your ass Elephant droppings.

@ Elephant ass

Wow... cranky today??

Stock up on those meds - the 5th is gonna be a doozy.

I can't help it if your VP candidate sounds like Marge Gundersen with verbal diarrhea.

Since you are so fond of videos... why don't you go fetch us a video of Palin speaking intelligently about any subject... If you can produce one video where she is not either reading from a script, regurgitating GOP talking points or speaking total gibberish, I'll promise not to hurt your feelings for the rest of the day.

Cmon...

I'm not sleeping till someone call this... I want to see McCain concede. That will be the cherry on top for me.

I'm really hoping he's gonna lose Virginia and North Carolina in the end too.

Todd Palin..

Did anyone catch Todd Palin's face during McCain's speech? He looked like his head was going to explode.

I think he was PISSED.

Anybody else get that vibe?

He's NOT a democrat! Cut him lose for good...

Please cut him lose... at best he's an unpredictable menace...

... At worst he's closet republican. We don't need anymore traitors like Lieberman around.

I would have less of an issue with him if he had simply endorsed McCain... but he actively campaigned for him, stood behind him while McCain and Palin attacked Obama as "paling around with terrorists" and tore down democratic economic principles.

Send him into the dustbin of history already. We don't need his vote.

Friday, November 7, 2008 10:09 AM

No more Palin please!

I vote for no more Palin stories please. Salon was 24/7 Palin for 2 months....

Lets give it a rest already.

@ Elephantman

Why are you here??? You lost...

Go home and SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Original article: Obama's designated a--hole

This was a pragmatic choice....

Obama needs someone he can trust to get stuff done... He'll get that from Emanuel. The guy is a hard charger, his ideology is not really important... he will mostly be an instrument of the President's will.

Let's give Obama a chance to get started before we start tearing the guy up huh?

@ Elephantman

Exactly how seriously do you take yourself?

"If you punch me, I'm gonna sue you" What an ass...

Don't come on this board after LOSING and call people bitches and the like, and then expect civility.

You have not earned any respect here... and the fact that you have been WRONG about just about EVERYTHING certainly does not help you.

I hope someone does punch you in the nose... so we can watch you cry all the way to your lawyer.

BYE NOW!

Original article: The elusive Team Obama

@ sonofloud

Why is Obama obligated to pay off the campaign debt of Hillary Clinton? Give me a break... Mr. Clinton can pay off his wife's bills with his speaking fees etc... The man is a money making machine.

And it's not like Hillary did us any favors during the primary... but I guess Obama should have to pay for attack ads and smears against himself?

Sorry, but any money left over from the campaign should go towards cementing our majority status in the mid-terms.

There was no pretense that human rights is our goal, or the likely outcome, in escalating the war

Obama's exceedingly familiar justifications for escalation

The "new" approach to Afghanistan touted by White House officials seems quite old

Yes, it's Obama's war now

An uninspiring speech sells a dubious policy, but progressives who feel betrayed have only themselves to blame
