>>> There is a great newspaper endorsement for Barack Obama from the Storm Lake Times:
Obama for president
Enough is enough. The Republicans have had eight years to mess up this country and it¹s time for the Democrats to put their hand to the tiller. It¹s time to make history and elect Barack Obama of Illinois
president in November.
The Republicans had their chance. They controlled Congress and the White House for six of the last eight years. They have run roughshod over civil rights, confused the Bible with the Constitution, started a huge
war in Iraq based on a pack of lies served up by the Bush Administration, run up the national debt to frightening heights and now propose to bail out the corporate chieftains who put us in this financial mess.....
.....John McCain is using the same set of navigational tools as George W. Bush. McCain built a career tearing down financial regulation. He refused to accept a timetable for our troops to leave Iraq, despite the Iraqi government demanding one. He opposes incentives for renewable fuels production that could help wean us off our dependence on oil. He wants to appoint a commission to study the financial mess we're in. It's just more of the same old tired Republican map.....
Exactly!
*** What is it with the McCain campaign? Do they have anything to offer people other than to smear their opponents? He wants to reward banks with overpaying them for the mortgages? McCain once again rewards banks and financial institutions for doing something they should have done in the first place---- help people stay in their homes.
*** NY Times: Panel To Study Military Eavesdropping
The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator John D. Rockefeller IV, said Thursday that the committee would investigate claims by two military eavesdroppers that they routinely listened in on private calls home from American military officers, aid workers and journalists stationed in Iraq.
Mr. Rockefeller, Democrat of West Virginia, called the accusations “extremely disturbing.”
“Any time there is an allegation regarding abuse of the privacy and civil liberties of Americans it is a very serious matter,” he said......
OMG! OMG! Is this the way the Bush administration supports the troops by spying on them????
> Here are some words of wisdom from my 85 year old mother:"The Republicans are so dirty. Why do they keep saying such terrible things about Obama?"
