Are we finally pulling back the Curtin on the Wizards of Oz?

i know. hard to believe possible. but he's trying.
Then there's the blank, sly slate of Creationist Caribou Dumbass to consider along with all the neoconartists and fraud specialists on Team McCain.
This election will determine if America lives or dies.
A vote for Mr. Obama is a vote for life and renewal.
A McCain vote will ensure the continued Bush/Cheney slide into history's ashbin accompanied by the usual uplifting, celebrity-heavy narrative of our wrong-way corporate media.
The republicans know how to win: you win by lying. You just lie and lie and keep repeating it. You say things to scare people. You say things that, even though they can be verified as false, still resonate with people who are too dumb or too unwilling to check for themselves.
The Dems are stupid themselves for not recognizing this. They think "this time, it'll be different. Any sane person would see more of Bush is bad, right?"
No, people don't. They see abortion, god, gays, and all the stupid, facile, American Idol nonsense and that's it.
Democrats do not need to go after this rabid crowd.
What is funny about these people is their deeply closeted racism...If I had a dollar for every one of these lifer Rethugs who said, "I wanted to vote for Obama but I'd feel safer with McCain." As these clowns try enlist my participation in their self-delusion, it takes all my effort to keep my eyes from rolling outa my head!
Most Republicans for Mr. Obama have already decided...some more will make their decision after the debates like other undecideds.
We all need to worry about the 2 weeks prior to the election...the traditional time for rovists to unleash their full-bore demons of unreality unless current sinful excesses forces their hands from the accelerator.
This nation may be "facing real challenges on the economy, health care, jobs and the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan", but most Americans are either simply overwhelmed by everything that's falling on them at once [could that be a Rovian plot! Simply overwhelm them with so much... Those with the "resources" -- ie, read: money -- to cope aren't affected so much.] or actually do think that the most vital issues are teaching [or NOT teaching] sex education to kindergarten children or porcine lipstick.
Regardless, they obviously believe that WHEN [not IF!? that's a given. Just as soon as those "terrorists" are defeated....] Iraq becomes a democracy and Iran returns to the 12th century all of America's other problems will go away and we can return to our nice, pleasant, 1950's existence where milk and gas is 25 cents and plentiful, the food and air's not poisonous, where everyone can walk the streets safely, and there aren't child predators around every corner.
Editorial
Gov. Palin’s Worldview
If he(McCain) seriously thought this first-term governor — with less than two years in office — was qualified to be president, if necessary, at such a dangerous time, it raises profound questions about his judgment. If the choice was, as we suspect, a tactical move, then it was shockingly irresponsible.

John McCain, who is shameless about promoting himself as America’s ultimate patriot, put the best interests of the nation aside in making his incredibly reckless choice of a running mate.

Sarah Palin is a LIAR!!! And the truth about her self-centered craziness and corruption are just beginning to come to light.
They tend to read and consider newspaper editorials more than most.
1. WE HAVE SUPERIOR CANDIDATE (as we always have) WHO WAS VP TO CLINTON, WAR HERO OR THE AMERICAN DREAM STORY.
2. WE WILL TAKE THE HIGH ROAD. THE REPUBLICANS WILL PROVE TO THE WORLD THAT THEY ARE SCUM SUCKING ANIMALS BECAUSE OF THEIR LOW ROAD TACTICS.
3. THE DEMOCRATS TAKE AN EARLY LEAD BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS HAVE INDEED SCREWED UP EVERYTHING THAT THEY HAVE EVER DONE.
4. THE DISTORTIONS, LIES AND BITCH SLAPPING START. WE NEVER RESPOND THROUGH THE EARLY STAGES. THE CONVENTIONS COME AND WE SEE THE BLOOD LUST AND ABSOLUTE DISRESPECT FOR OUR CANDIDATE FROM THE REPUBLICANS.
5. THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE LOSES CONTROL OF THE MESSAGE. FLAILS WHILE TRYING TO RESPOND WITH ALWAYS TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.
6. WE LOSE A SQUEAKER WHEN EVERYTHING SAYS THAT WE SHOULD HAVE WON.
7. WITH THE COUNTRY IN SHAMBLES, OUR CITIZENS DESTITUTE , AND OUR NATIONAL STANDING DESTROYED; WE FIELD A NEW CANDIDATE WITH THE BACKGROUND, EXPERIENCE AND POLICIES TO CHANGE THIS COUNTRY. HE/SHE LEADS IN THE POLLS AND SHOWS THE LIGHT FOR AMERICA. HE/SHE MOUNTS THE SPEAKER'S PODIUM AND SAYS THAT WE WILL TAKE THE HIGH ROAD ...
Come on, I have seen this movie before. I have come to the conclusion that the wimps and cowards on this site are traitors to their party and country. They whine about how bad the Republicans are, they whimper about how we can not take the low road. GET THE HELL OUT OF POLITICS FOOLS AND IDIOTS.
This is a fight for our country and the very democracy for which it stands. I puke when we are called concern trolls because we understand that this is a war for the hearts and minds of this country. Just because you people are frightened little children who cannot stomach the fight, do not stand in the way of success.
Have we become a nation only interested in who can lie the best? That is not the country I would like to live in. But apparently that is the country Bush/Cheney/Rove/McCain have turned us into.
McCain--In their hearts they know he's nuts and super old!
huge part of this problem
They are older than the baby boomer generation and very set in their ways. Just look at the voting block in Florida. In order to beat McCain Obama supporters are going to have to generate much younger voters.
MORE PAIN WITH McSAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!COUNT ON IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once the TV people took over, it turned into American Idol.
Thing is, with the exception of people like Ron Fournier and Holly Bailey, most print reporters tend to be more issues oriented and are also on the same economic plane as regular people.
The TV people are just rich talking heads who want to protect their tax breaks.
Can we please have some news/positives about what Obama is up to? I haven't seen anything on here that is good news in a while. I get all of my news on here. I am afraid we are focusing on random negatives about Palin that aren't going to take any root--and she is a total distraction from McCain. I think we need a mission--give us some ideas about what we need to do to pull the rug out from under her if we are going to focus on her. PLEASE tell us how to Dr. Laura her ass! You are one of the political leaders in this tech age and we rely on people like to you give direction--I fear that many of us on here just comment and don't do anything else other than that.
thanks
The GOP can rest assured she will receive all of the questions well in advance.
Old people take newspaper editorials seriously.

It is sad to realize every day how McCain lies habitually and has selected an even more adept liar. McSAME - PALIN, IN THE SAME LYING MOULD AS BUSH - CHENEY,
