Good to see you haven't lost your sense of humor.  I know some people on this board who would have tried to say what you said as a serious accusation.

I'm not laughing and the serious voters aren't either.  Tell ACORN that while your at it :)

I love you guys.

Exhaustive unbiased report concludes Sara Palin abused her power as governor, in an administration that was amateurish, childish, and transparent in its cronyism.... all while Palin campaigns as an ethically sterling reformer.

BUT WAIT! EVERYONE LOOK AT OBAMA! He is pals with the 1997 Chicago Man of the Year / Respected Professor / Charitable Board Worker Bill Ayers! Except that he's not actually pals with the man, or close with him, or involved with anything other than the same charitable and educational board activities that both democrats and republicans are involved with in the Chicago area.

But hey, if you actually DO think it matters, then surely it matters to you that McCain really IS good friends with Gordon Liddy.

"How close are McCain and Liddy? At least as close as Obama and Ayers appear to be. In 1998, Liddy's home was the site of a McCain fundraiser. Over the years, he has made at least four contributions totaling $5,000 to the senator's campaigns--including $1,000 this year.

Last November, McCain went on his radio show. Liddy greeted him as "an old friend," and McCain sounded like one. "I'm proud of you, I'm proud of your family," he gushed. "It's always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great."

Which principles would those be? The ones that told Liddy it was fine to break into the office of the Democratic National Committee to plant bugs and photograph documents? The ones that made him propose to kidnap anti-war activists so they couldn't disrupt the 1972 Republican National Convention? The ones that inspired him to plan the murder (never carried out) of an unfriendly newspaper columnist?

Liddy was in the thick of the biggest political scandal in American history -- and one of the greatest threats to the rule of law. He has said he has no regrets about what he did, insisting that he went to jail as "a prisoner of war."

Gordon Liddy on Vitenam: "I wanted to bomb the Red River dykes [sic]. It would have drowned half the country and starved the other half. There would have been no way the Viet Cong could have operated if we had the will-power to do that."

Gordon Liddy advising Brand Davidians on ATF agents: "If the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms insists upon a firefight, give them a firefight. Just remember, they're wearing flak jackets and you're better off shooting for the head."

Gordon Liddy on Hitler: When he listened to Hitler on the radio, it "made me feel a strength inside I had never known before," he explains. "Hitler's sheer animal confidence and power of will [entranced me]. He sent an electric current through my body."

But yeah. Keep talking about Obama's "radical friends". The rest of the country seems to be waking up to the transparent ugliness and hypocrisy of McCain's campaign, as demonstrated by McCain's free falling polls.

Yes, but no winning tickets have selected VPs with problems that bad.

For example- McGovern in 72 with Eagleton (he had to change VP candidates, and he lost HORRIFICALLY to Nixon)

Or as you mentioned, Mondale in 84- he was crushed almost as badly if not worse than McGovern.

Bush-Quayle only made it through in 88 because of the awful campaign waged by Dukakis. When an able candidate came up, Bush and his less-than-intelligent Veep lost in a landslide.

McCain-Palin does not seem likely to reverse this trend. Obama-Biden will reign in November.

Misdirection towards the Obama camp would be proper if the Obama camp were making these attacks. But they aren't, so misdirecting the topic back to Obama is completely uncalled for.

It's illegal because there is a law against it.  The Congress could decide they are going to rule on court cases.  It'd still be illegal.   It was illegal because it was against the laws written on the book and there were no laws to change it.  They decided to do something illegal. 

The Ayers thign was simply to show that if you aren't convicted of something legally, it doesn't take anything out of the picture.

I mean the guy bombed the pentagon and he teaches students.   Not only that but he's a highly respected teacher.

If he were actually convicted of the things he openly admits to doing he'd have trouble finding a job at a McDonalds.

It was no type of "deflection" at all.

It wasn't Clinton being able that killed Bush it was him raising taxes and then getting a bad case of seafood poisoning at the wrong time.

The Vice President really hasn't been seen as important at all until like... Gore.

Well really when Gore lost.

Dick Cheney is the first VP in a long time to do anything of significance (though unfortunitly not the good kind.)

I mean gore did some stuff but he was less a part of the Clinton Administration then Hillary was.  It was really like she was the VP.

and all I see of Obama's commercials is attack attack attack, and since he has raised so much money there are a lot of them.  btw, the 90% with Bush statistic is just basic twisting of numbers.  they only count times when Bush publicly states his opinion on a subject, and it doesn't count whether Bush states his opinion on the matter before or after the vote it will still state that McCain voted "with" Bush.

that was his definition of "rich" actually
