George F.Will, conservative op-ed columnist for The Washington Post wrote another stinging article on the McCain-Palin ticket entitled “Call Him John the Careless”
Mr. Will really dislikes Sarah Palin and thinks McCain was totally wreckless in her selection as V.P. We couldn’t agree more.

It was a rainy day in Pennsylvania. The weather was so bad that the world series was cancelled (go Philly!)
McCain and Palin cancelled their rally in the Philly suburb of Quakerstown.
But Obama stood tall and drenched while addressing a wildly enthusiastic crowd in Chester, PA.
That speaks volumes. One candidate is not afraid of getting wet and [...]

An interesting narrative from documentary filmmaker, Eugene Jarecki (“Why We Fight”) on McCain, Cheney and Halliburton.

For me, witnessing the John McCain who courageously appeared in my film and the later McCain whose staff went after me for sharing his thoughts with the American public, I’ve seen firsthand how the Straight-Talk Express really works.

McCain’s Health Plan: Don’t Get Sick
We stand by our words and want to list what some other well-informed people have to say:
Elaine Rose/Mo West, Seattle Post-Intelligencer: The McCain health care proposal, which would “deregulate the health insurance industry,” is “worse for women” than the Obama plan, Rose, CEO of Planned [...]

Dan Cooper, a proud member of the National Rifle Association, has backed Republicans for most of his life. He’s the chief executive of Cooper Arms, a small Montana company that makes hunting rifles.
Cooper said he voted for George W. Bush in 2000, having voted in past elections for every Republican presidential nominee back to Richard [...]

We’re still waiting for Palin’s IRS documents. All the candidates have done show and tell but Palin.
Now we find out that Palin used $21,000 of the state of Alaska’s money to fly her kids to events where they were not wanted and didn’t need to be.
If that isn’t unethical, I don’t know what is.
If that’s [...]

Largely ignored as not one of the battle states between the reds and the blues, Arizonans have been not so quietly rallying around Obama-Biden.
IT WOULD BE SO DAMN COOL IF ARIZONA VOTED BLUE!
In the meantime read what the pollsters are saying. Right now McCain has a 3 percent lead over Obama in Arizona! At the [...]

Did you know that almost 100,000 patients die every year in hospitals?
Whose fault is that? We can blame many and do a lot of finger pointing but we won’t because there are many causes.
Nurses are over worked and under staffed. Doctors frequently treat them like crap and there’s a shortage of nurses entering the field [...]

It’s interesting that neither candidate has spent much time talking about the working poor.
It’s either the middle class or the rich people who make more than $250,000 a year.
Well, there are plenty of working poor who provide vital services such as waitstaff, kitchen workers, some hospital workers and aids, teachers aids, gas station attendees, box boys, sub [...]

Maureen Dowd is just so right on. She is the columnist extraordinaire.

I can barely stop laughing. What a joke! (not really)
McCain whose record shows that he has voted with Bush 90 percent of the time now has to point the finger.
Maybe he didn’t reach across the aisle hard enough.
The problem with McCain (at least one problem) is that he doesn’t admit mistakes and doesn’t take responsibility.
He’s [...]

For a gamblin’ man like McCain, the dice thrill him as the odds are against him. Having McCain as president could be a big crap shoot. And having Sarah Palin as his running mate certainly ups the ante for making the odds against him.
Obama plays poker which can require some strategy.
Right now if endorsements mean [...]

Palin is a loose canon out there. (according to a McCain aide). She thinks she’s going to be the next leader of the Republican Party. Hahaha!
The Republican party is in a deep hole and Sarah keeps digging. YES! Thank you McCain. Palin is, to the Democrats, the gift that [...]

This is unbelievable, especially since Schwarzenneger is a really BAD governor who has made dozens of wrong decisions at the great expense of all Californians. Geezis. The best I can say for his interview is that he did indicate that Palin is NOT qualified.

I like to put this election year into perspective and relate it to car talk.
Obama is a hybrid. He was relatively unknown and his remarkable team used new technology and organizational tools to catapault him to the top of the line. The hybrid trusted a younger, more savvy staff to think outside the same old mold in order [...]

It’s been so interesting to see how McCain and his VP Sarah Palin have beat a dead horse into the ground over Obama’s (lack of) association with William Ayers.
However, what has been completely (almost) dusted under the rug is McCain’s association with the Iran Contra affair.
Not even much has been said about McCain being one [...]

At first the nomination of Sarah Palin was deemed as a welcome shot in the arm for the ho-hum Republican party. But now that shot has spread like a shot of poisonous venom that has turned many Republicans in the direction of Obama. Colin Power is one who said that his top reason for voting for Obama is [...]

John McCain would be hysterical if the sick bastard wasn’t running for President. Almost everywhere you turn, there are YouTube videos and articles about how he voted with Bush 90 percent of the time.
Yet today he rants against the Bush administration and how he’s going to change Washington.
What the hell was he doing these past [...]

Here’s an excellent article about relationships and how body language and thoughts reveal that the McCain marriage is strained.
McCain says over and over that he didn’t know Cindy was a former drug addict…while married to him. That means he is unaware or uncaring or that he didn’t spend a lot of time at home. Living with a [...]

Both AT&T and Verizon wheeled in private cell towers to the McCain ranch in Sedona FREE of CHARGE even though they had to jump through many regulatory and environmental hoops.

You would think that a P.O.W. would have compassion for veterans of war. You would think that, right?

When Bill Clinton was president — the average American family saw its income go up $7,500, instead of go down $2,000, like it has under George Bush.
Enough said?
In the postwar era, Democratic presidents consistently produce higher growth rates, lower unemployment, better stock market growth, and less income inequality than Republican presidents.
Enough said?
