LMBO!! I wanted to watch it and missed it when my son and DIL showed up for a visit.

I hope it gets repeated tomorrow so I can see it.

No sympathy for O-man here. He's already showed how much against this country he is along with his wife. IMO they can pack up and leave the country on the first boat to China.

SHE GAVE A PRESIDENTIAL SPEECH last night - terrific, posed, intelligent, firm - not cold, harsh and shrill like Hillary... or even Michell for that matter. Just brilliant.
Yeah, I think I heard that flush too. heheh

I was impressed with her! I think she will make a good VP!
McCain and Palin have my vote

What a bunch of mindless boobs, so easily swayed by a pretty woman giving a good speech.

Hey, isn't that what you have been saying about Obama supporters, that they follow mindlessly because he gives pretty speeches?

Hmmmmm....as the election cycle turns.

Funny post btw, did that take you all night to write?

Wrong again POV & DD. Obama speaks of nothing but change. Change what?

She spoke of herself, her running mate, and then she said what they would do. She also spoke of the Demrats and what they would do. She made the choice simple.

If you two want higher taxes and no experience then vote Obama but, if McCain wins will you send me the money you were going to pay in taxes had Obama won? Trust me, I'm needy.

Phrank, I will pay higher taxes if that means that our country will be better off in the long run.

Clinton balanced the budget and left office with a surplus. More Americans were able to buy homes than ever before, including me.

Wages rose as well.

What did we get with a republican president?

Read Newsweek much? :)

"It's my freaking money!!!"

This should be the mantra of the Republican party. The party that prides itself on being the "moral" compass of America, yet when it comes to helping those in need they are the last ones to want to give. Seems to me that the bible is quite clear on how we are to take care of one another. Sounds like phrank is the typical selfish Republican who thinks only of himself. Admittedly some of our welfare programs need a revamping so they are not as easily taken advantage of, but we shouldn't punish those in need because of those few that take advantage.

I'm with you POV. If more of my taxes will mean less of my money towards health insurance, and at the same time get healthcare to those that can't afford it then by all means have at it.

I am so excited about this election. This is so much fun!!!

Phrank, these "bad loans" you speak of have nothing to do with the people who bought houses in the late 90's and early 2000's.

Sorry to burst your bubble there...

And yes, it is "our money". However, DDawg is right as well. If that means helping others, I am all for it.

Remember, Jesus was a liberal... :)

Well I am speaking specifically of healthcare when I talk about the willingness to give up paying the insurance company and pay additional taxes instead. It helps everyone, and takes the profit out of it meaning healthcare decisions aren't being made by greedy insurance companies that care more about profit than getting you healthy or keeping you from dying. I guess if you ever have that situation or have a loved one denied you might see it differently. As for other government programs that help the needy, they do need reform and they do need to be watched by those outside the goverment which would help ease the minds of those of us that think some fat politician is taking the money. I don't trust the government completely either, but if you think Republican politicians are any better morally, or don't steal, or don't cheat etc. you are extremely naive. There is some satisfaction to seeing people who are downtrodden taken care of and helped up. Not for life, not to the point they are bleeding the system, but helped back on their feet and given a second chance. We are the wealthiest nation in the world, we should have no starving children or homeless.

DD - "I don't trust the government completely either, but if you think Republican politicians are any better morally, or don't steal, or don't cheat etc. you are extremely naive."
Here we totally agree. I do think that there are some that are more honest than others on both sides. That's another reason I'm voting McCain over Obama.
