McCain is a failed candidate. He's a disaster; ... They've got nothing going for them this year. Nothing. So expect a vicious attack on Obama from the Republicans and their sleazy allies.
Don't count your chickens before they hatch. There was absolutely no way Gore or Kerry could have lost to Bush but they did. I also wouldn't rule out Bush declaring martial law and staging a coup d'etat. Finally, they rigged the elections in 2000 and 2004 and the Democrats lay back and enjoyed it, what makes you think that if the results were completely rigged and Obama received one vote from a voter in Alaska, not even his own, that they wouldn't again pretend everything was normal and nothing was wrong, everyone in the nation wrote in Bush's name and he was despot by "popular" acclamation.

The republicans will scorch the earth to knock Obama out. Expect allegations of infidelity, racism, wife and child beating, sleeping with animals, fathered 200 crack babies. I expect the worst kind of bullshit and the Secret Service better double their officers. The republicans, backed into a corner, will do and say anything and we have at least 30% of Americans who agree. Most of these goobers who voted for Bush twice are exactly the people who should vote for change but they are more afraid of the Mexicans and Blacks taking over than what is good for their family and the republicans will be stirring up these crazy bastards on a daily basis.

OK, so Bush gets his Iraq spending bill, with a couple of crumbs thrown in for an extension of unemployment benefits and more educational funding for GIs...but Dems backed down on more taxes for wealthy couples and are still giving Bush what he wants...billions, of course.
Spend, spend, spend in Iraq (with most of that money going to private contractors). And six more months of this bullshit.
Dems are NOT in a position of power in Congress, as some incorrectly believe. That won't happen until next year, when most of the damage to this economy, and a still unclear exit from Iraq will be accomplished. Lots of hard work ahead for Obama and, hopefully, a clearly majority Dem Congress.
This bill is a real victory,” Mr. Boehner said. “It gets our troops the funding they need for success, without hamstringing our commanders in the field with politically motivated war restrictions. It provides new resources to help our veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan get a better education, without raising taxes unnecessarily on the American people. It also does not include billions in unrelated wasteful Washington pork that was added by Senate Democrats.”
Our wonderful leaders in Washington gave Bush his $163 Billion for the bottomless pit in Iraq. Is there no one in Washington aware that we are bankrupt as a nation and that we need to stop the spending in a country where we have no future and start spending here building roads, bridges and jobs. But, I guess they are all doing well financially so fuck the rest of us.

Democrats appear to have a bigger tent but when it comes to who controls the tent I see no difference between them or the GOP party bosses. President Clinton's legacy have only "left" the little people in need of more help and even hungrier for change. The two parties as far as I am concerned are different hands on the same body.

Why are Dems giving the #1 Criminal what he wants, when only 22% of the country doesn't think we're headed in the wrong direction? That's complicit, that's complacency, and that's collaboration by the legislative branch, most of whom in office now need to be drummed out of office.
May they all have to go on food stamps, Medicaid and live in public housing...or at least SS and Medicare. Let them live the lives tens of millions of Americans have to get through every day because of Congress's actions in caving in to this awful Criminal.

Agree - I have never hated anyone, or anything in my life - but the Bush cartel and the fascists that follow them have been the only "black mark" during my lifetime - the rat bastards have been controlling this country in the background and foreground since the 1930's (beginning of the American Fascist Party).
BREAKING: An American speaks up!
Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba, who led the investigation into prisoner abuse at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison accused the Bush administration Wednesday of committing "war crimes" and called for those responsible to be held to account.

I've never seen a group of people so determined to destroy a country. Anybody planning to vote for republican, something is wrong with them. And there are alot of them I realized awhile back and ever since then I'm cautious about letting any stranger into my circle. And anybody who still opposes gay marriage is a turd but at least you can tell and avoid those types. Vocally opposing gay marriage is like jumping up and down yelling, "Hey everbody!! I'm a turd!!! Avoid me!!" It's scary that there's all these reptiles walking around.

Kind of funny.
I was in a real working man's bar last night (I can say that without being sexist, because I rarely see women in the bar), owned by an old Greek couple.
The wife, who everybody calls Momma, was picking up the papers and noticed a cover story about a gay couple adopting a couple girls, and she got in a bit of a snit.
"Did you ever see anything like this?" she said in her very heavily accented English, as she pointed to the paper and looked at me. I sort of laughed and said "That doesn't bother me."
Then she asked another guy in the bar what he thought, and he said something like "A lot of kids only have one parent." She asked him if he had a family and he said "I have a daughter but I'm divorced, so I know what I'm talking about."
Thinking there must be some kind of conspiracy afoot, she then asked the female bartender what she thought, and the bartender laughed and said "I'm not getting involved in this."
Then Momma sort of wandered back to the grill area, mumbling to herself.

Why Does the Moon Look Bigger on the Horizon?
As the full moon rises this Wednesday evening, June 18, many people will be tricked into thinking it's unusually large
The moon illusion, as it's known, is a trick in our minds that makes the moon seem bigger when it's near the horizon. The effect is most pronounced at full moon. Many people swear it's real, suggesting that perhaps Earth's atmosphere magnifies the moon. http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20080617/sc_space...

You mean that can get worse than they already are? Congress has turned into the most filibustering any party has done since the republicans lost their majority. All they can do is try and stop progress of the other party by being obstructionists and to hell with the country. It's time to send them all home so they can find a real job. Let's see how long it is before they start whining about being pulled forcibly away from the government teat.
