And I liked this:
MCCAIN: Senator Obama suspended those requests for pork-barrel projects after he was running for president of the United States. He didn't happen to see that light during the first three years as a member of the United States Senate, $932 million in requests.
Maybe to Senator Obama it's not a lot of money. But the point is that -- you see, I hear this all the time. "It's only $18 billion." Do you know that it's tripled in the last five years? Do you know that it's gone completely out of control to the point where it corrupts people? It corrupts people.
That's why we have, as I said, people under federal indictment and charges. It's a system that's got to be cleaned up.
(my emphasis)

LOL! I have to run out for a while, and do some errands and see my dad, but I look forward to following this thread when I get back. Have a good day Dave.

Perhaps I needn't worry about how Palin does against Biden in their upcoming debate. Biden, FDR and the Invention of Television[/size] In a sit-down interview with CBS Evening News’ Katie Couric that aired Sept. 22, Sen. Joe Biden tried to make a historical comparison between political leadership during the trying economic times of today and yesterday. But he got some of his history wrong. Biden told Couric: “When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed.”There are several things wrong with that statement. First, the stock market crashed in 1929. FDR wasn’t the president; Herbert Hoover was. He served as president from 1929 until 1933, when Roosevelt, who went on to be elected to the top office four times, was inaugurated to his first term. Second, if FDR had been president in 1929 and wanted to make a public statement on the state of the economy, it likely wouldn’t have aired on television. Because no one had a television yet. The TV was introduced to the public at the 1939 World’s Fair in New York, almost 10 years after the crash. The Democratic vice presidential candidate’s mistake was picked up by the Associated Press and several other news organizations after the interview aired. from FactCheck.org wire.factcheck.org/2008/09/24/biden-fdr-and-the-invention-of-television/ |

Brings back images of Dan Quayle or Spirew Agnew as V. P. Obama will have to hide him in the VP mansion at the Naval Observatory, in order to avoid the embarrassment of having him speak in public., if elected. Hopefully, it will be a moot point when McCain is victorious.
He probably thinks the cold war was a conflict fought in winter. What a moron. I can't believe that someone would say such a thing. Either he is an idiot, or the person that wrote a speech for him is a total goof.
Anyone ever been to Delaware? It is several miles of beautiful seashore, just south of the credit card capital of the nation, and north of a lot of chicken farms, gambling outlets, one Nascar track and 4 walmart stores.
It barely qualifies as a state. It is like God dribbled when he was creating Pa and Md, and left this little spit of land in the form of Delaware. It did however save a lot of bridge building when connecting Philadelphia to Virginia Beach.
