I beleie sleepy might be referring to GHWBush flying to Iran to delay the release of the hostages, and also GWBush and the forged documents reported by Rather.

.....and the BushII DUI on the very eve of the election; yeah, it was true, but c'mon, releasing the info the night before the election was crooked pool.

I am 100% confident it will be done again too.

Yeah! Thank goodness there aren't as many racist wife-beater-shirt-wearing people who stake hand-written lawn signs in their front yards!

Yes, it says MUSLIN.

Anecdotal evidence, but disgusting indeed.

Lacasse sounds like a winner (sarcasm intended, just so there is no mistaking that). Ick.

I'll bold the part I'm in disbelief at.

Btw: The media has shown that they will indeed "uncover" some story that can't be proved right before the eleciton......I'd bet money on it....thankfully, the public is quite use to it now and unless they really can prove it they won't fall for it.

What's McCain/Palin lying(not that I am conceding that) on stage at the convention got to do with what I said

Do you deny that they lied? It's not hard to find the transcripts.

Anybody can answer this that wants to but I am specifically directing my question to scaeagles since he has in the past mentioned that a big source of his problems with McCain was his immigration stance and that he doesn't particularly trust his "saw the light" conversion in the primaries.

What are your thoughts on this ad? It is a Spanish language ad* criticizing Barack Obama for not supporting his comprehensive immigration reform bill. The one that almost tanked him early in the Republican primaries and the one that he has since (in English anyway) renounced. Does this call into question the bump you got from Palin's selection (since you have stated that the selection helped you feel his position changes might be sincere)?

* The ad is in Spanish. I don't speak Spanish. So I have relied on others to convey the content of the ad. I have checked a few sources and the -- generally pro-McCain -- comments on the video and they are all pretty consistent. However, if it turns out I was misinformed I'll readily admit it.

If McCain is back on the McCain - Kennedy crap I may very well not vote (for President). This has been an issue McCain has been playing both sides of, but after his comments about how he heard what the people were saying in terms of objections I had not heard that he was playing the other side again.

You have to go with your gut. Both candidates ... heheh, ALL candidates, are liars. You can't trust what they say ... you certainly can't put any faith in what they promise.

You have to go by your instinct, their history of actions, maybe their body language ... because the words they speak are next to meaningless.

In this regard, McCain has a long history to study. But one must study the actual history, and not what the candidate or the press have said about it. McCain's history has been completely distorted and romanticized by the press throughout his tenure in the Congress. Finding the truth takes more work than 99.372% of voters want to bother with.

Obama's got a history, too. It's less lengthy, but more easily examined. The press have only romanticized the last few years.
