I get so angry at those who say Dems do this the same as Reps or even more like McCain did in the 3d debate. It simply is not true! Reps were convicted in New Hampshire, and we all saw what Katherine Harris did in Florida in 2000 purging people from the voting rolls whose names were even SIMILAR to convicted felons-even purging a young woman with a female name when the felon was a man with a male name, and Blackwell in Ohio in 2004, pulling voting machines from populous democratic precincts!

Republicans disgust me even more everytime i hear something about their methods.

Oh and by the way, Obama already won!! So just take your posts down and lick your pride, where it was hurt of course.

War must be justified. Otherwise they wouldn't have gone and checked for WMDs (not that they found any). But still they tried the best they could to justify the war.

Don't even compare the WWI and WWII with this dumb war. As for soldiers they are the poor folk who are used to wipe the asses of the rich and powerful. They only obey orders and for that reason must be honored no matter what war they are in.

You folks have a truly amazing tool here, this reporting, news, information 'is'/and hopefuly by tomorrow 'has' changed the world and as far as common unity changed the world. the only way through this is together.

why not choose another one of the thousands of war heroes? Why McCain? And if service makes you eligible to be president why did they not vote for Kerry in 2004. Why did everybody vote for Bush who dodged service just like Rumsfeld and Cheney.

Seg 7:19 James rucker statement...How do we know that ACORN was not "set up" to look guilty by those who are bashing ACORN? Wish there was hidden video to show who submitted these ballots. Sounds to me like ACORN haters may have tried to discredit ACORN and they failed... what's ur take?

conail23, this is not about soldiers of past u ignorant fuck, our troops were sent to iraq to die not for our freedom but for iraqs oil. and yes we are winning the war on terror cause once obama becomes president then we would have defeated the worlds most dangerous terrorists, and that would be the bush administration. i know u were the first on line to buy palins ultimate bridge to nowhere...you stupid shit head faggot.

[Conail23]

you cant use war to get things to go your way??? Tell that to our soldiers of the past who saved the world in world war 1 and 2! Peace comes thru victory! We're winning in Iraq! Were winning the war on terror, BUT OBAMA WANTS TO PULL OUT AND SUURENDER! McCain & Palin 08!

[slytheron]

what was that movie Matrix all about? I think things are starting to get really creepy around here.

[slytheron]

I don't support McCain. But still I respect him as I would any man who has gone through for his country. However your mentality that great service equals good policy is ludicrous. McCain is a war dog and nothing more.

You can't use war as a way to get things to go your way. That is a more Hitler thing. That's not how America does things.
