    What a charming feel-good story.

    I feel like vomiting.

    Sickening. Utterly sickening.

    Republicans are such FREAKING MORONS!!!!!

    Oh, goodie! Dubya and Condi are on the teevee trying to look all tough and mean, even though EVERYONE IN THE WORLD know we don't have any leverage anymore because of their mismanagement of our country and foreign policy blunders.

    THANKS REPUBLICANS! (and the media expects Americans to vote for McSame?)
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    Yeah, they're trying to make the Russians look like the heavies, even though US troops were training Georgian troops a month ago so, in all likelihood, this is some kind of Bay of Pigs Clusterfuck that the Corporate Media hasn't caught on to or doesn't want to catch on to.

    Indeed but with the "new and improved" McBush3 you get a candidate who is not only an incompetent moronic catspaw (apologies to the fine cats shown above in a completely different thread), but you get a proven letcher and adulterer as well as an enemy collaborator, crook, liar, and moral leper!

    It never changed. Despite the rotten Bush years, people still want to vote for the same, failed, republican, Bush policies, and they are donating quite generously to McCain. After all there are wealthy people out there, who benefited from the Bush/Cheney years, and it is time to give back, and make sure the same crowd with the same garbage, get another four years.
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    Actually, they're not giving to McCain....he's only raising half of the total.

    Many Repubs can't stand McCain.

    But they're all ponying up for the Party, and McCain's people are basically treating the RNC treasury as their own piggy bank.

    (Probably a violation of campaign finance laws but mccain's already broken so many laws that it hardly matters.)

    Sage: You are so very correct in your assessment of the sorry state of ignorance by the public who don't yet understand the Republican method of enrichment. When will they finally learn that Republicans are the rich and for the rich and only the rich. Ordinary middle-class voters who vote Republican have been duped and/or divided.

    WANT MORE PAIN ??????????VOTE Mc CAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Joe, how much money does Obama have on hand for his campaign?
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    Therein lies the difference between Repubs and Dems.

    If Repubs hate their nominee, they'll still give to the party.

    If Dems hate their nominee, they won't give at all

    It's a good thing the majority of Dems seem OK with Obama.

    Money, money, money...

    Many there are who openly and almost professedly regulate all their conduct by their love of money: who have no reason for action or forbearance, for compliance or refusal, than that they hope to gain more by one than by the other. These are indeed the meanest and cruelest of human beings...

    I agree. Margolis, hire this adman and plaster the airwaves with his hard-hitting creation. Time for the Democrats to show some cojones in their ads.
    I'm DemVet, and I approve of this message.

    It's far to early to do attack ads on McCain. McCain is desperate, that's why he's doing them now.

    The American public has the memory ability of a fruit fly. To do attack ads before the conventions are over or Labor day has past is a waste of time.

    Mid September would be the best time to start to take the gloves off and go after McCain personally. McCain's personal life, as well as his wife's, offer so very much to go after.

    This campaign hasn't even started to get ugly.

    That is why I strongly believe that we need no outside money for the candidates. They are not running for the President of the people, they are running for President of the large donors.

    I really do not understand the argument that it is free speech giving to a campaign. If everything was on a level playing field, wouldn't in most cases the best candidate win? Instead we have a corrupt system that promotes taking bribes.
  • BorninUSA · 1 year ago
    Exactly why we have had no candidates in several years who were not millionaires in their own right. A person who has no "money" or "family" connections in this country hasn't an ice cube's chance in hell of ever getting elected to office. Bush's daddy put him in office, Hillary 'loaned' her campaign millions, Mcshame's wife is bankrolling him, Romney would be unknown if not for his own millions. And many, many more of the same. So the old saying that anyone can be president in the U.S. is a big fat lie.
  • ron071 · 1 year ago
    BorninUSA: You have omitted the one candidate who is not running on his/her fortune (there is none ) but basically is supported by small donors and far fewer big donors. Have you overlooked the difference?

    President Bush arrived in the Napa Valley on Thursday evening, waving to about 50 onlookers as his motorcade left Sutter Home Winery on Highway 29 in St. Helena.

    I want to slap these dumb-ass Repugs who give money to hear President Numbnutz speak. These people are too stupid to live.
  • ron071 · 1 year ago
    francisv: Please read my prior comment on the topic. " These people " are NOT stupid. They know exactly how to buy the government at YOUR EXPENSE. We will be the stupid ones if this is allowed to happen for a third consecutive time.

    WANT MORE PAIN ???????VOTE Mc SAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • blackwolf · 1 year ago
    Yeah, but why in the hell doesn't the Obama campaign get it?! This is what pisses me off about Obama. He hits McCain, and they respond quick with a rebuttal. They hit Obama, and he sits on his ass counting the money we donate.
  • ron071 · 1 year ago
    It is a fascinating question to ponder how can such an unpopular president raise so much money? Clearly, those who wish to purchase a Bush product ( McSame ) for the next US rip-off. It's so very clear who the Republicans are and how they buy control of our government. We've got to break this off now before the country is totally ruined.

    WANT MORE PAIN ???????????VOTE McSAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
