    @Effie Perine

    honey, if you think you can beat the GOP by focusing on the issues, you are delusional. Where, exactly, have you been the last 40 years? The average IQ in the US is 100. Half the US population thinks the world was made in six days, and half the US population rejects evolution. More than half the US population STILL thinks we found WMDs in Iraq.

    I am a graduate of the USAF Academy. I thought I'd make the Air Force a career. I ran smack into the politicization of the military, and I left after doing my time. I am ashamed of McCain. He is NOT a smart man. He has NEVER earned a nickel that didn't come from the taxpayers or that didn't accrue to him because of his status as a senator. He's a patriot? Why? How? Exactly what makes you think that his patriotism can't be questioned? Where were you in 2004 when the GOP AND McCain slime went after his honorable service?

    And as for the tramp, well, I call them as I seem them. Plenty of families DON'T have their sons and daughters become teenage parents. She and her husband are BAD, neglectful parents. The truth hurts, but it is the truth.
