sorry, video is no longer available. This seems to happen a lot when something goes against Obama and not for him.

Hi, JTBB, I cannot access this link!.......nm

You obviously have access to the internet...
What you should do is research for yourself instead of listening to the news readers. Their superiors very often have an agenda for their candidate, whoever that may be.
There's a lot of info out there, and a lot you have to sift through. But if you're truly looking for the truth, you'll figure it out if you do enough research.
I say this because we live in a unique time. We do have access to information like never before. It scares me to think that our media does not generally do what they are supposed to do and make clear distinctions so we can make clear decisions. They are supposed to be watchdogs, not report on nonsense tabloid issues.
I pray that we never have a government like they did under Stalin, and others. There was propaganda back then also, but there was no way for the people to know other than what they were told because the government controlled the media. And believe it or not, there are pols who want that kind of control today.
Sometimes the media does their job, but what we're told about a particular person/politician seems too incredible to be believed, but if we dig around, we can find out a lot and make a more informed decision regarding our country. The average person, years ago, didn't believe there were men who craved power so badly that they would destroy their own, but they did, and history bears that out. Current events in other countries also bears that out.
You know what they say, those who forget [or simply ignore] the past are destined/doomed to repeat it. I want our politicians, whether dem, rep, or indy, to learn from what has been done against this country, and I want them to put our interests first. Our interests being to do the job they are constitutionally required to do, and that is to provide defense, protect this country from those who would do us, or our allies, harm.
Yes, we need to come to the aid of those in this country who cannot provide for themselves, but it has gotten out of hand and mired down in wasteful bureaucracy and is not getting to those who actually need it.
My pet peeve, I don't want to hear how the world is against us. We've been there for everyone, and when we are for them, they certainly accept it, and then turn against us like a relative that only comes around when they want something. When we don't do for them, we're lambasted, but we cannot be everything to the world. We can only do so much. But we are blessed and we bless others, and rightly so.
But it seems to me that some want us to be puppets and/or sitting ducks. If I hear a politician say anything that remotely looks like they want us to be liked by the world, I look for someone else, because that should not be on the agenda. If they believe otherwise, I look until I know in whom to place my trust and my hard-earned vote. I really don't put much stake in whether or not we're liked. It's proof enough to me that they all want to come here, and most are willing to stand in line for that honor.
Note: I do believe we need good relations with other countries, but we need to do what's in the best interests for our own first. That should always be our top priority.
We do think it is special. Everyone has access to...sm
affordable healthcare. We have one of the highest minimum wage rates, quite exceptional since we are a very rural state, and great support taxwise for small business. Please don't come here, you would not fit in.
Not everyone has the same access to birth control. sm
I guess you didn't watch 20/20 this past Friday night? You can view it on their website. Go to http://abcnews.go.com/2020 and click on Watch: Babies in Memphis
I think everyone who is interested in this current thread would find it interesting, whatever your opinion on abortion is. It was called "Babyland" because that's what the locals call the cemetary where all the premature babies who die are buried if their mother can't afford to bury them.
It was about how the poverty-striken areas in Memphis, TN have much greater rates of premature births and deaths of babies than the more affleunt areas. Why? Lots of reasons, but probably the main one is lack of money, which means lack of prenatal care. No insurance and no easy access to a free or low-cost clinic. Lack of education. The girl they profiled was 18 and pregnant, and they showed another girl who had gotten pregnant at 12 yrs old, now a mother at 13. I mean, yeah, a 12 y/o shouldn't be having sex - she's still a child, but how in the world would she have access to birth control? She wouldn't.
It showed how the closest clinic is only open during the day (and only 1/2 day on Sat., to cut costs). No evening or weekend hours, so what are you supposed to do, take time off work, which you can't afford, to go get birth control (or prenatal care, etc.) which you also can't afford? I mean to you or me it may seem like a no-brainer - if nothing else go to the drugstore and get a box of condoms for $10.00, or the Today sponge thingie, but maybe they don't even have an extra $10.00 (or the time and $ to take 2 buses to get to the drugstore?).
All I'm saying is, the situation is different for everyone. I've personally never had an easy time with any method of birth control I've tried, and it's a bit of a wonder to me that I've never had an unplanned pregnancy because of that. Maybe because of that, I try to be less judgmental of others. Oops, more to say but I've got to go...
I doubt other networks were given access....(sm)
Fixed Noise would be the only one that would not report the 1600 seats that were empty. Tickets were free, BTW.
This is not rocket science. If Americans have access to
it creates a win/win situation for us all. If they open that plan to such a broad base, they would be able to essentially write their own ticket in terms of policy and coverage. As the plan stands now, it is perfectly acceptable, affordable and offers broad choice.
If McCain and his supporters want to wallow around in the politics of nay-saying, fear and hate, no problem. Go for it, but don't expecct Americans who are ready for change and are looking forward instead of backwards in terms of policy to buy into all hat negativity. That's the Bush world mentality and those days are numbered now down to less than 100.
post the link only, not the whole article and the link. See rules for posting.

Okay, thanks, that's not what my link said. SM
Mine also said he failed to mention this case when being questioned. Well, there's a thousand stories out there. It really doesn't matter to me. It doesn't affect how I think of him one way or the other.

Here is one link to it:

By the way, that wasn't a good quote. That was a GREAT quote. In fact, your entire post was great. Thanks very much for posting it. You are so right and I couldn't agree with you more.

it is a 'malformed video.' Let me guess. Bush lied.

Thanks for the link.
This whole thing is so ironic. Maybe Iraqi troops will be the next to come and participate in Bush's martial law.
No link..nm
The Link
The link to Bush Body Count is in the original post. Again, I don't believe a word of it, because I believe in innocent until PROVEN guilty.

What's the deal guys?
You said you cannot get the whole link...
to come up without it being cut off. It's too long? So, you go to tinyurl, cut and paste your long link, and they will make the link shorter for you.
How odd--try link below

Good article - really talks about how nasty the media has been in this, and also more.- good read

So true about the media, isn't it?
Also saw this on CNN last night, and was surprised that they allowed this viewpoint on their website.

Thanks for the link
I've read it and can't tell if it is a more favorable article towards the republicans or democrats, so don't have anything to argue about that. However, the study only worked on 45 people? They are basing a study on just 45 people when the US is made up of 301,139,947 people (as of Jul 07). Like I say, I can't tell by the article which political group this benefits but it just seems to be an unreasonable basis to base the way a whole country votes on just 45 people (and all from the same region of the US) - again not sure if Nebraska is more liberal or conservative. Just seems like an invalid study to me.
here is another link about the same
see if this one comes through...

I don't know if this will help at all, but try this link. sm
www.PatriotPost.US
It is a conservative newsletter that, IMO, tries to present an equally balanced view of what is going on. It is not always in easy to understand words, but you get an explanation that makes sense of what is going on.
Try it, you might just be surprised.

I would like the link too
so I can see for myself. Thanks.
When you go to this link s/m
take the Match-O-Matic quiz at the right. It gives you quotes from each candidate and you have to choose which one you agree with the most and at the end, it matches you with the candidate you chose most often. Let's see how well we all know the candidates we are backing based only on what they have said.

I'm sorry that I didn't save the link to the video clip I mentioned. I did a search for Obama messiah on Youtube just now and I didn't find the one I mentioned. Much to my surprise there were tons of such videos with accusations. What I did find was this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FyEZdy-Rag&feature=related (Again, I don't know how to make a link but copy and paste in your browser. It appears to be the real deal. I didn't watch it all the way through as I am really, really busy today, so you can watch it and draw your own conclusions.
If you go to youtube and search for Obama messiah you'll probably find the original one I was talking about which I believe to be a fake. The above link, appears to me to be Obama himself in his own voice with his recognizable body language.
Try this link instead
what link would that have been?

This link's for you.

This link's for you.
I usually give news accounts but in this case I think wiki has a really thorough description of the indident here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michele_Bachmann
You have to scroll about 2/3rd of the way down where you will see Calling for the investigation of the members of congress, reaction and partial retraction. Video is on YouTube which I really suggest you watch to get the full impact...it's really different than reading about it.
Here's another article from MN

Let me know if you have any problem with the video and I'll find another link for that.

please post it. I would expect that it would be a chance for McCain to trash Obama. That's about all McCain/Palin has to offer.
Here's the link.
I made a mistake in my other post. I didn't mean to write that she asked the same questions. I meant to write that she asked the same tone of questions, putting down Obama. All in all, compared to the Biden interview, it was a McCain lovefest.
