#25 A PSALM from the FIRST BOOK OF DEMOCRAT Obama Is My Shepherd, I Shall Not Want. He Leadeth Me Beside Still Factories, He Restoreth My Faith In The Republican Party, He Guideth Me In The Paths Of Unemployment. Yea, Though I Walk Through The Valley Of The Bread Line, I Shall Not Go Hungry. Obama Has Anointed My Income With Taxes, My Expenses Runneth Over My Income, Surely, Poverty And Hard Living Will Follow Me All The Days Of My Life. The Democrats And I Will Live Forever In a Rented Room. But I Am Glad I Am an American, I Am Glad That I Am Free. But I Wish I Was a Dog, and Obama Was a Tree. |

#24 You did notice he's an African American didn't you? What else is there? I don't care if he's green and purple with yellow polka-dots, he's still an empty suit that can't tie his own shoes without help. God Himself will have to help us if he gets elected. Even Tonga could pull a snow job on Obamaramadingdong. |

#23 even the most liberal mainstream candidates would at least try to look like they understood and appreciated traditional American interests, That's above his pay scale. |

#21 When OBama slips his handler's leash, he is incredibly stupid Say rather, when Obama lets his mask slip his handlers wince. |

#20 When OBama slips his handler's leash, he is incredibly stupid. And dangerously naive. If he wins, he is going to get a lot of people and a lot of Americans killed. |

#18 bigjim-ky, Sounds more like an easy rationalization by someone in the cracks of fault lines of a dying business. "See we're not bad we just are in the pay." So his self justification is the old punch line - we know what you are, we're just negotiating the price. Given around 90% of the media is registered to one political party, its not about money. If it were about money, the NYT, LAT, etc wouldn't have been pushing the crap they have for the last couple decades as their readership dropped like a lead balloon. The bottom line a long time ago would have adjusted their perspective. |

#14 My father was having a cocktail at the local bar where he lives in the Bay Area, CA , the other day and got into a conversation with a local newspaper editor. The guy basically told him that whoever has the biggest stash of money and spends the most on ads gets the press backing. Newspapers and TV stations are in business to make money and picking the right candidate can make or break a small local paper. This guy claims that it's ALL about money to most papers, they don't give a toss about politics, many of his employees are older guys who are conservative in their views and wouldn't normally support a dickweed like obama. |

#13 How is it possible that this man can be considered electable by any serious person? Back when I was a Dem, even the most liberal mainstream candidates would at least try to look like they understood and appreciated traditional American interests, especially abroad. Am I idealizing the past when I say that? You did notice he's an African American didn't you? What else is there? |

#10 From Powerline: "So our "charging into" Iraq--with dozens of allies, supported by a U.N. resolution, as a last resort after six months of build-up and negotiations, to unseat one of the cruelest dictators of modern times who had twice invaded neighboring states, was in violation of more than a dozen U.N. resolutions and was responsible for the deaths of something like two million people, who was shooting at American aircraft and had tried to assassinate a former President of the United States, in Obama's childish mind, was just like Russia's "charging into" Georgia, which resembles Saddam's Iraq in no respect. And, of course, we invaded a horrifying charnel-house so as to establish a democracy, whereas Russia invaded a peaceful democracy that it wants to re-incorporate into its empire." |

#9 “They can’t charge into other countries. Of course it helps if we are leading by example on that point.” So I guess this means your Pakistani plan was a load of shit, Barry? |

Back when I was a Dem, even the most liberal mainstream candidates would at least try to look like they understood and appreciated traditional American interests, especially abroad. Am I idealizing the past when I say that? If BO doesn't get trounced in this election, I am going to be seriously worried about the American electorate. Here's hoping that the debates between him and McCain will make more clear to non-political junkies what seems so glaringly obvious to me. |

#7 not a good strategy. Most middle americans who oppose the war, do so, I think, because they think it wasnt worth it for US. Not cause they think we commited aggression. Much like the middle american response to VN (im talking the response, not the strategic reality, so spare me a discussion of that). This wont play well with swing voters. |
