This is why his VP choice is VERY important.....very good chance he/she will be the next, next President of the United States

He might be a good choice but if McCain chooses Mr. Moneybags I'll be voting for Bob Barr. And no this isn't wealth envy. It's just he is a big pompous stuck up jerk. It's lucky he was able to finance his campaign all by himself or he would have gone nowhere because he is as authentic as an aluminum Christmas tree.

But you are right about he may be able to put some other states in play that might not be in play now.

Weapons found in Iraq NOT made and supplied by Iran afterall

I consider myself a left-ward leaning Republican.

I heard something this morning that just made me want the elections to come that much quicker. Bush said that he gave up golfing to show support for the troops in Iraq. How is giving up golfing showing support????

Had I not heard the news blip and the words coming out of his mouth I would not have believed anyone could be so stupid.

Golf = terrorism.

Well at least for now the Republican Party is the party of Stupidity. In addition both Bush and McCain acknowledge Global Warming. Haven't they read the latest papers? We're headed for the next Ice Age now. Get with it! Geeze!

I am sick of "Global Warming" or "Climate Change" being used as political action words. We should be taking good care of our planet, not for political reasons but because it is the right thing to do. The Lord blessed us with this wonderful planet. We shouldn't abuse it for that is a sin.. The only politician who has ever spoke on this matter with common sense is Mike Huckabee. Global Warming/Climate change is irrelevant. We should be doing everything we can to protect our planet and to keep it beautiful.

I thought it was incredibly noble of him, especially since his game needs work. It is stupid- I could understand if he gave up vacations, or donated his salary to causes that support the troops and their families....but golf?

It's the hardship of not being able to hang with his cronies, I guess. Apologies, but this man makes me absolutely sick. He is a constant embarassment as the world representative and "leader" of my country.
