  The insanity here is unbelievable

  Daniel Dvorkin wrote: Barak Obama spent a considerable portion of his youth in poverty. He worked his own way to the top.

  John McCain -- John Sidney McCain III -- is the son and grandson of admirals. He's American military aristocracy. And he married, as aristocrats often do, into serious money.

  Any blue-collar voter who thinks McCain is more "people like us" than Obama has to be, I'm sorry, a complete goddamn moron.

  FACT: An entry level military officer makes about $28,000/yr.

  FACT: Then they have to work their way UP the ladder (10 pay grades) over YEARS through demonstrated PERFORMANCE on the job.

  FACT: No one is military aristrocracy, you don't ascend to an inherited title, you have to earn it as you learn the institution.

  So before you go spewing lies, maybe you should do some research and get your facts in place.

  Here's another fact for you: BO hasn't the experience and therefore also doesn't have the vaguest notion of how to command a military force or run a Senate committee or manage a business. Now go put on your detective outfit and see if you can find the facts to refute that! I'll bet you can't...

  BO's candidacy is a sad commentary on the unrealistic daydreams and outright lies of the insane left in this country. It's really a shame he ruined the possibility for a real choice on a 2 party ticket.
