TennMom : I'm curious to know whether the Navy wife and mom, who trusts McCain because of his military service, voted for George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. Since she is a delgate, the odds are she did. I suppose military service is important only when the veteran is a Republican candidate. One more hypocrisy, courtesy of the good old GOP.

Lurker : Sarah [Palin] has had some experience as the commander in chief of the National Guard. She’s traveled overseas with the units,” Rob Gleason, Chair of Pennsylvania Republican Party, said. Are they kidding? She didn't go "with" them, she went to visit them. When has she ever been in "command" of them? They give her a lot of credit for weak reasons. She has international experence because AK is near russia? She is an energy expert because her state has oil? Huh??

Doc in FLA : The Dems need to stop trying to tie McCain to Bush and just stand on their own. That, of course, won't happen because Obama would collapse under close scrutiny. Besides memoirs and speeches, the "Community Organizer" is all air and hair spray!!

Howard : The Republicans express pride in America, citing it's great achievements and benevolence ... while the democrats spew a constant drumbeat of criticism and guilt towards America. This paves the way to their call for an overall change. But, many of the democrat's proposed changes involve throwing out the baby with the dirty bath water. For example, McCain/ Palin want to assist business with tax breaks ... while the democrats want to increase taxes to business owners. The democrats want the government to redistribute money, by simply handing it over to non producing Americans. Well, check out today's 6.1% unemployment figures. Cutting the legs out from under employers will only increase those unemployment figures.

mase : I would vote for someone that has a record over someone that has no record at all, like Obama. What has he done besides speeches. Beware of the silvertongue people. Don't be fool.

Jacob Freeze : We beat the Nazis without torturing prisoners, but Bush/Cheney decided that a few raggedy Taliban in caves were more terrible than the enormous German Army, and they disgraced the United States with crimes against humanity that Eisenhower and Roosevelt and Patton and Abraham Lincoln and Washington and Grant and even William Tecumseh Sherman would have condemned as contemptible sub-human perversions. Palin and McCain want to continue these perverted crimes against humanity. Sarah Palin is just another Republican torture-pig and pervert. John McCain is just another Republican torture-pig and pervert. A vote for Palin/McCain is a vote to disgrace the United States and the all the generations of our brave soldiers who rejected torture as a perversion unworthy of even the lowest human garbage.

Dan Shanahan : President Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz manipulated the country and Europe, the United Nations into Iraq. McCain supports continuation of this catasropic subterfuge. The economy, financial insitutions are teetering on collapse, unemployment is climbing --- and the Republican party is fragmented, and in no condition to run the country after 8 years of arrogance and disastrous mistakes.

Robert White : Sarah Palin needs information: Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor.

Juan : It's comments like above that remind me that most of the Democratic voters live in a fantasy world. Comparing the Taliban/Al-Queda to the Germany army in WWII is just plain stupid. Germany was one of the most respected nations in the world at the time Hitler began his march. Hitler astutely picked up on the anti-semitism that existed throughout Europe at the time & used that to his advantage. Nations chose to align themselves with Germany rather than put up a fight. Throughout history, torture has been used as an effective means to gather information for strategic planning & intimidate the enemy. This is what warfare is. China's Art of War consider's torture an effective tool of warfare. While other military superpowers don't blink an eyelash when it comes to their legal use of torture, the US exercises great restraint with a system of checks and balances. I doubt if many liberals have ever bothered to read up on it. Any act of torture by the US is subject to inquiry regardless of rank. "Following orders" is not a get out of jail free card. An indep investigation is carried out & if the committee finds the act of torture to be unwarranted there can be severe consequences. Simply put you risk your military career when you engage in acts of torture. No other nation can say that.

puzzled : You can blog here all you want to but the message is missing the very people we must convey it to. How do we communcate Obama's message to the masses, i.e., those republicans who believe the lies, ignore the truth and are afraid of change. Seriously, how can this be done. You can be sure that none of Palin's fans are reading this website or any others that reliably publish the information these people need to hear. Obama's win is in this answer and I am stumped and frustrated. "On behalf of the U.S. and the world" we must somehow tell it straight to the middle of this country right in the middle of their dinner hour. Someone or all of us need to get in front of a camera, interrupt them and get them to listen. I'm thinking an interview or two with some very average replublicans; in which they are asked what they actually feel mccain/palin will do to help in regard to healthcare, getting their son or daughter home from the war, their kid's education, heating their home or filling up their car and cleaning up the environment. All on camera... all in front of the rest of the country. They will have no answers. Just as mccain/palin have none. And then the rest of us must fight to the bitter end to get Barack Obama and Joe Biden elected. That is the charge.

Commn Sense : When will America wake up? We are debating who has more experience. Neither has experience as President. Anybody can be President. George Bush proved that. Our priorities are seriously flawed. We are trying to come up with a 700 billion dollar bailout plan. The American people donated money for Katrina. Where was the bailout plan for that catastrophe? Who is addressing the shortage of gas in Georgia? There are millions of people being forced into poverty by high gas prices. Can someone speak on that?

Bob : Jesus was not a community organizer! He is the Messiah. This is typical Democrat name calling! When they can't debate the issues on their merit, they resort to name calling and citing false data. Stop the Socialist train wreck and let's unravel all the failed socialist policies of the New Deal!
