    Obama said: McCain says he will follow bin Ladin to the gates of Hell , but won’t follow him to the cave where he lives.

    Those are fighting words. That was completely uncalled for.

    McCain is not Bush, no matter how many times Obama says it. McCain has not agreed with Bush 90% of the time.

    And…

    What’s up with the Southern accent???

    Really?
    Does he know the true cost of that type of insurance?

    Great! So why doesn’t he start with military families? We’ve been advocating for years that we should have FEBH, since our spouses are Fed Govt employees, their families should fall under the same benefit umbrella.

    I can’t frigging stand it anymore. I am about to fly through my television screen. The amount of crap he is spewing,the lies he is carrying out right now concerning Iraq, terrorism and everything else is just freaking too much. How can any human being shovel that much crap and actually be taken seriously. The fact that he thinks we don’t know better, is just maddening.

    OMG…trying to pretend to talk tough and sound like a Conservative is just too much.

    I am going to go throw a football with my daughter. I just can’t stand this anymore.

    Lord, in all honesty, if you care for this country and what it means to the world, do not allow this man to win in three months. Please, I care too much for my children to let this man in the Oval Office.

    I am with you on that one…..I have always said – our military should earn what we pay our Representatives and Senators and they should earn the wages of our military.

    Because it is our Military who PROTECTS us!

    regarding the tax cuts …

    it is smoke and mirrors becassue the way they crunch the numbers …

    it is true that his “numbers” give a bigger tax cut to certain income levels …

    what they fail to point out is that under McCain the Bush cuts become permanent so the tax cut is against those numbers …

    under BO they repeal the Bush cuts first … then his tax cut is against a higher taxable amount so you actually end up with less money …

    I hope the Hurricane does not cause too much damage anywhere, let alone NOLA. Of course it could be Bobby Jindal’s coming out. Jindal/Pawlenty in 2012 or Pawlenty/Jindal, depending on what happens this year.

    Good night patriots. Tomorrow we see if McCain has sold us completely out.

    McCain just aired an ad saying he did a good job. I thought that was extremely classy of him. THAT’s one of the things we need in a President.. Class, & Humility..

    Some others commented on the ad earlier in this thread and weren’t very happy. I don’t necessarily have an issue with it. I agree it was very classy and maybe had a little strategy behind it.

    Why do they keep saying that nobody could attract a crowd as big as Obama did? MANY other ROCKSTARS have done it…

    Dan Lee …

    BO “READS” a good speech from the teleprompter …

    He has yet to “GIVE” a good speech on his own …

    I, too, thought McCains ad tonight was great.

    Makes BO look small for attacking McCain.

    I think the ad was good, because Obama’s arrogance & lack of humility is what will eventually be his undoing..
