Add 50 lbs and a droopy eye and he's a dead ringer for Forest Whitaker.

I will chose Barack Obama over that old man macain ANY DAY of the week.

Most of us will be voting on a Tuesday.

You must vote absentee.

I will chose Barack Obama over that old man macain ANY DAY of the week.

Thank you, Melanie Curtis, for having the guts to use a name.

This reminds me of the 1984 campaign, which I remember, in which Walter Mondale tried to tar Ronald Reagan as an old man. Reagan shot back.

I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience,"

There is an email going round (and round and round) that Obama has worked only 146 days in the Senate. He had a poor voting record in Illinois, often voting "Present," instead of expressing leadership. His real work, by which I mean work not as a government functionary, was as a law-school lecturer and a community organizer. Neither of which to my my mind qualifies as real work.

Cindy McCain made John sign a Prenuptual Agreement so he couldn't cash in on her beer-distributing fortune. Could it be she didn't entirely trust him?
Cindy was once addicted to Vicodin and Percocet, used other people's names for prescriptions and stole drugs from the American Voluntary Medical Team to feed her habit. (Yes, it's true.) She had to make a deal with the Justice Department to avoid going to prison, and is a member of Narcotics Anonymous.
McCain himself cheated on his first wife numerous times, after she had been badly injured and crippled in an automobile accident.
Don't you sometimes wish the Republican Party could come up with a candidate who had a sterling reputation? After all the criticism of Bill Clinton, you'd think they would have searched far and wide for a really blameless couple for the White House.

Thinking about this picture some more, and about much of what I hear from the Cult of Obama, I am sure that many, if not most of his supporters would follow him anywhere, even if he were to say tomorrow, "I want to turn the USA into a communist dictatorship, and if I elected I will do so", I am convinced these folks would say "Hey, if Obama is for it, it can't be all that bad."

Don't you sometimes wish the Republican Party could come up with a candidate who had a sterling reputation?

Thank you. I was waiting for that. Let's see.

Teddy Kennedy--murderer.

Joe Biden--plagiarist.

House check-kiting scandal. 19 were named, because the first 18 were Democrats.

Daley, fils et pere.

JFK whose father bought the election by a $100K check in Chicago.

Landslide Lyndon.

Various drunken and doped Kennedys: that Smith one, and even the best one, JFKJr., who smarted off as a pilot and killed himself, his wife and sister-in-law.

The Democratic administration of New Orleans, which stole the money for levee repair and while the city was flooding the cops were stealing Cadillacs. The mayor was reelected.

Multiple voting to get Mary Landrieu in as Senator.

Rose Law Firm billing records.

Whitewater.

Clinton's refusal to release medical records.

If, and I say if, it is true that Cindy McCain is in a recovery program, she's doing something about it instead of howling how she's a victim. If she made a deal with Justice to avoid prison, if, that means that she didn't do what every other person who didn't go to prison did?

And a pre-nup? You mean that Republicans are untrustworthy when every single Hollywood tin-foil-hat model has one? Pathetic adolescent sniggering.

Do you really want more, Anonymous? I am beginning to wonder about your mind. This was so easy.

The question is not whether there are liberals, conservatives, democrats, republicans, communists, capitalists, lobbyists, clergy, business leaders or judiciaries that are dirty and undeserving (there is an over abundance of all of them); but how we, as the constituency, can rid our government of the existing ones and prevent the future ones from gaining control. The frustrating reality here at this point is that you keep trying to tell us that it is "those guys" doing it, not "our guys" doing it. We need to burn the barn down and rebuild it to get rid of all the rats!!

Theocritus:
I know your purpose is to criticize, but does that really add anything to any intelligent discourse. Rather than complaining that the Democrats have a long list of skeletons in their closet (and yes, that was quite easy to point out), perhaps we can just agreed that the McCain ticket is not free from personal problems. My point is, when has a politician in the last 50 years not been exposed for some personal indiscretion. If the media (and in this case I include all forms) can spend 24 hours a day disecting every action (or inaction)a politican commits during (and before) his campaign (and later term of office) who among us can stand up to the scurtiny? At this point, I'm just relieved to see anyone still interested in government service.

At this point a candidate gets my vote if he manages to get through a term without proving himself a complete hypocrite. And that candidate pool is getting smaller and smaller all the time.

Actually my purpose is not just to criticize although I've found that criticism is like gaining weight. You can lose #125 and gain ten back and people say, "You've gained weight." Been there, done that.

One of these days I'll do something on the Democrats who snipe at Republicans for hypocrisy with much worse skeletons in their closets. Their charge is hypocrisy, and it's a clever ruse, for it gives them absolution in advance.

Nonetheless, it's appropriate for me to point out Democratic corruption and sins when lesser Republican ones are stated.

And Stu Pidasso, I quite agree that it would be good to prevent future rats from gaining control but with as much money, and money is power, at play, it simply isn't going to happen. I admire your sentiment but think it bootless because people are sorry.

That's why I'm a conservative folks: I know people are sorry.
