#1 Most Dems are buying Obama's leftist solutions. Meanwhile, Senator McCain is showing compassion to victims of economic conditions while floating good ideas on better regulation of home-finance operations.

#2 are you sure those McCain ideas are that great?I haven't heard anything different than most other politicians, from both sides,it sounds like sweet talk. I will vote for him if Hillary is the Dem nominee.Anyone but her.

#3 The d-candidates can suck a turd through a kofi straw. McCain better get his domestic turds in a line if he wants people like me to show positive. (IMHO)

#5 A preceding piece and worthwhile read. Both parties are dirty as hell as top heavy donors sway their votes but this election the paper trail tells the tale in greater clarity.

Business Donors Bypass McCain

#6 Did Kerry's commanding lead in the 2004 election's money raising game guarantee him victory duing that election cycle?

Watch for how the numbers of small donors go, rather than the cumulative amounts of big ones. So goes the election.

#7 Attention small doners, Bob Barr may announce his candidacy for President. You may not love him, but he will be the easiest for patriots to elect. He will be running because he sees there is no real patriotic American in the race, just elites, commies, and cranky old farts.
I used to believe in the Republican Party, but after the 7 years of free spending, the national debt has passed critical mass, and the resulting plunge of the value of the dollar is a reality.
We are phucked my friends. Our greedy Congress and willing President have sold out our childrens heritage.

#8 Radio sez all of Obama's donors are small time - the average is just $96.

I've donated $50 to my favorite terrorist news blog, but never a $100 to a politician.

Question: How hard would it be for soemone with a lot of cash - say George Soros, for example - to generate thousands of small-time 'donors'? Wasn't that the suggestion of one of Hilly's friends in Caliphornia? Or am I just being paranoid?

#9 Bob Barr may announce his candidacy for President.

Oh goody. The political-comedy team of Barr and Nader.

#10 The easiest thing in the world is to sling shit, Pappy. What else can you do ?
Why don't you remind us of Bob Barr's comedy routine. I can't remember one.

#11 As a lifelong resident of GA's 7th congressional district you can have Barr.

#12 What else can you do ?

Come up with an idea for a TV show?

Described as 'populism on drugs', NBC's newest show "Fringes" features two presidential candidates from opposite ends of the political spectrum forced by necessity to campaign together.

This week's episode shows Ralph and Bob mistakenly sent by their staffs to spend the night at a home of the other's supporter. Hilarity ensues when the candidates manage to convince their hosts to support them instead. Bob also develops an insatiable appetite for hummus, while Ralph receives disturbing news that a major automaker has made a major contribution to his campaign...

Saturday 10:30 p.m. - Just before Saturday Night Live!

#13 wx, you're welcome to vote for Barr, assuming you get out to vote at all. Will you also vote Democrat down the ticket? In protest that your chosen one (whoever the f*ck that could be) isn't on the ticket? I'd preferred Hunter, Thompson, etc., before McCain. I'm also mature and intelligent enough to know they aren't on the ballot, dipshit, and McCain is the best of the choices. You continue to depreciate the wxjames brand here....
