This is becoming a broken record. Nobody thinks McCain is the right man for our times. Not even the folks who know him best!!! Republican Charles Mathias served in Congress from Maryland for 26, years, in the House for 3 terms beginning in 1961, three terms in the Senate, retiring at the end of the term in 1987. Mathias who has known McCain for many years, does not criticize him in any way. Rather he affirms his choice: Source

The embarrassment of riches. Wow! http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1008/14963.html Interesting how this "Commie" "Terrorist" is appealing to so many folks who call themselves Republicans. Could it be, maybe, that they're looking through the smokescreen and seeing the reality that Obama is really a Centrist with better plans for the future of this country?

Being Barry Goldwater's granddaughter and living in Arizona, one would assume that I would be voting for our state's senator, John McCain. I am still struck by certain 'dyed in the wool' Republicans who are on the fence this election, as it seems like a no-brainer to me. Myself, along with my siblings and a few cousins, will not be supporting the Republican presidential candidates this year. We believe strongly in what our grandfather stood for: honesty, integrity, and personal freedom, free from political maneuvering and fear tactics. I learned a lot about my grandfather while producing the documentary, Mr. Conservative Goldwater on Goldwater. Our generation of Gol…

Check it out. The evidence is clear. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3AvZqYC4mw

Wow! Current poll shows McCain with a 2 point lead in his home state, 43.5 percent to 41.5 percent. Within the margin of error. Link here. The Republican "brand" is damaged beyond repair if this happens. Not that I mind.

Pokes fun at politics in general, not a liberal or conservative favorite, a parody, makes me laugh anyway. http://www.peteyandpetunia.com:80/VoteHere/VoteHere.htm

Per the AP story this morning: WASHINGTON — Al-Qaida supporters suggested in a Web site message this week they would welcome a pre-election terror attack on the U.S. as a way to usher in a McCain presidency. The message, posted Monday on the password-protected al-Hesbah Web site, said if al-Qaida wants to exhaust the United States militarily and economically, "impetuous" Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain is the better choice because he is more likely to continue the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. "This requires presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain, who pledged to continue the war till the last American soldier," the messag…

So, creative soul, I literally just found something shockingly creative, I had to pause my life and share immediately. This thing is a pixel miracle. It’s packed with color chaos, next-level thinking, and just the right amount of designer madness. Suspicious yet? Alright, go look right on this link! You’re still here? Fine. Imagine a caffeinated unicorn whipped up a site after reading memes. That’s the vibe this thing of wonder gives. So go ahead, and share the love. Because real talk, this is pure genius. Boom.

From MSNBC: From CNN: Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAm-Nvk3FAw Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2AiQ5ShYSU If McCain can't even vet his own VP choice, what does this mean for the country? We've had enough loose cannon's in the Whitehouse. Sorry I don't have some source like RabidDogRepublican.com or something to quote. The mainstream media will have to do.

I'd like to change my user name to McGowan. It is a funny WSCR related Bears joke for the idiots who loved Josh McCown during the Trestman era and didn't know how to pronounce his name.

The entire article is great but I thought I'd share just this one part. I recommend checking it out completely by clicking this link. Keillor is a brilliant man who speaks from the heart but with such clarity...

Why Arizonans dislike McCain In a Paradise Valley shopping mall, Martin Dunleavy takes a break from the scorching Arizona sun. He is wearing a cap emblazoned with an eagle and an American flag, and describes himself as somewhat conservative. He adores Sarah Palin, whom he describes as "every man's woman." How about John McCain, Arizona's senior senator and the state's first plausible presidential candidate since Barry Goldwater in 1964? Dunleavy shakes his head: "You just can't trust McCain." Nobody besides a few excitable Democrats believes John McCain will lose Arizona. Presidential candidates nearly always carry their home states. But McCain is less popu…

I can't believe the American people fall for this b.s. he keeps feeding people: Obama Lie No. 1 — I will tax just the rich. There is no such thing as a tax on just the rich. Taxes on wealthy people affect everyone. Remember, Obama defines anyone making over $90,000 a year as "rich." Many "Joe the plumber's" discovered that Obama thinks Joe's rich too. Under Obama, he won't be able to hire new employees and grow his business. Joe's not alone. Obama says he'll strip away the FICA cap at $90,000 for every worker. That means every dollar you earn over that amount, you'll pay 7 percent! Obama Lie No. 2 — I want to give a tax cut to the middle…

Damn man, I hope this doesn't get any worse. Another 700 points down today? When the hell does it end? The market isn't getting any warm fuzzy feeling from this dingbat President. If he can't f*cking LEAD he should step down now and let someone else do it. Of course, we have to insist that Cheney leave with him or we'll be in 7 wars before January. A recap of what 8 years of Republican Leadership gives us: * Multiple wars with no end in sight * An economic depression (or deep deep recession at best) * Your phone and email is all under surveillance * 2 new Pro-Life Supremes * A $10 trillion deficit * No credibility left on foreign policy... …
