    yes, and win Clinton tried to go after Bin Laden with missle attacks, the republicans accused him of wagging the dog to divert attention from Lewinsky...perhaps if the republicans paid more attention to national security in those days instead of how they could cause trouble for Clinton, maybe the nation could have gotten bin laden.

    I know, people are comparing getting a hummer from an intern to Bush lying to get us into war, killing American's and Iraqis....and growing our government to epic proportions all while wasting BILLIONS of dollars and destroying our economny.

    Unreal.

    Oh, but if you want to go there....why not talk about McCain CHEATING ON HIS FIRST WIFE?????????????

    Nah...wouldn't want to look at all the facts...

    The coverage of a former candidate cheating on his wife received exponentially more coverage than McCain's cheating has.

    I remember TJ posted that McCain doing it was OK and that we shouldn't act like we wouldn't have done the same thing in the same situation.

    TJ posted that he was basically forced to cheat. And then others blamed it on him being a POW.

    I wish I was kidding.

    I honestly think it just helped re-launch an all-time wave of distrust in the position of POTUS, regardless of who holds the office.


    It couldn't have helped.

    come on man, Im not telling the guy who to vote for...Im just stating something that is obvious. Ask the guy who he would vote for if only mccain and obama were on the ballot and you will have your answer.

    Meh, I'm guessing he either votes in New Mexico or DC, both of which are going to go to Obama. Not a big deal. If anybody wanted to vote for a 3rd party in Texas or California, it wouldn't make a bit of difference in this election.

    He started an organization whose objective is ending the occupation in Iraq and ending our interventionist foreign policy. Neither Obama nor McCain supports either issue. He absolutely should make a statement vote.

    Was it me, or during Palin's speech at the convention, was that Denzel Washington in the audience with a baseball cap on? Just curious if anyone knows.

    I got to hang out with this guy again on Friday. He stayed at my buddy's house in Houston on his way through town, and then we went to a little meeting that the local Ron Paul campaign organization had on Saturday. He's moving back to Santa Fe to run for Congress as a Republican in 2010.
