You should consider giving it a rest. Republicans can use the next 8 years to regroup. Nothing's going to change that much.
Wanna bet?
What'll change big-time is your taxes.
Bet on it...

Well, I'm not happy and damn pissed off about that, and yes, I agree with you. But I think the republicans need to be spanked into reality now, and as you now, my last registered status was as a republican.

I used to vote GOP, mostly, but not always. But in 1996, I started voting Libertarian after Bob Dole ran on the ticket.

Cut taxes, increase deficits, and then he would look for places to cut, later.

He didn't dare talk about cutting Social Security and Medicare.

As for taxes, I think taxes will be going up, no matter who wins, be it, McCain, Hillary, or Obama.

How much they will go up, will vary depending on the candidate, IMO.


Folks, taxes will be going up soon, as the first Baby Boomer started collectin S.S. on January 1, 2008.

Medicare is 5 times worse than S.S.

The money will have to be collected somewhere and somehow, be it payroll, SS, or some VAT like system.

His voting record is what you can go by. Even though voting records often involve compromise.

McCain's accomplishments?

Being a Senator, just like Obama, albeit it, longer.

Well McCain is a bona fide war hero because his dumb ass got shot down and captured then spent a bunch of years learning to speak gook the hard way.

I don't consider McCain a war hero, nor hero at all.

He was bombing North 'Nam and got shot down. He was doing a job. He got caught.

The Psychiatric reports are public and the the Shrink considered McCain to want to impress, emulate, and do things like his dad and grandpa, who were both Admirals in the Navy.

And Booners is right on one thing: there are people dumb enough to vote for someone because they falsely believe they are a "war hero."

Kerry was just as much of a fraud as GWB during Vietnam.

GWB dodged the draft; Kerry awarded himself 2 purple hearts on the same day.

He was "walking wounded."

Kerry didn't deserve to be "swiftboated," and the fact that 'Nam is even discussed is ridiculous, as the Americans left over 30+ years ago.

Stupid, really.

Good. Back to reality. Obama fought in no war, and that is not to his detriment.

^ And this pic is going to cause a further backlash and loss of support for Hillary Clinton and her campaign.

All politicians do things like this when they visit a foreign nation. Even Bill Clinton wore Scottish Kilts and other ceremonial garments when he visited foreign heads of state and attended cultural shows, as a visiting politician/rep/head of state.

I think this just shows how bad Hillary is. I don't like her. She's scum, IMO.

Obama is pounding now, in national polls.

Yea, but he wasn't a head of state, jusy a measley state senator and he was down there to visit relatives.
And nat. slick willy would wear a skirt if he thought he might pick up some head and not have to unzip his pants.
I hope it does cut him back some, Hilderbeast have a harder time beating M
