The entire World is tired of the rebubbalicans constantly turning everything they touch worldwide to crap, every single thing they touch they screw, screw up, blow, or blowup.At least the dumasses are consistent... everything single action and everything they have said in the last 8 years is completely and utterly wrong both by logic and law. (Current situation being evidence.) Time to start calling insane mccain and the rabid Alaskan skunk/badger he brought home, what they really are, shes a crazy stinker, and he's so full of crap he needs his depends changed.They both stink and their party is way too stupid and bought and paid for to say or do anything.

Sad Chad...Ignorance must be bliss...Why are we all so worried about a Governor and former Mayor becoming President? Two years experience for the most recent job, (Governor) is too little? Then how about ZERO experience for the "community organizer"? This race is supposedly John McCain Vs Barack Obama. IF you throw Obama's running mate into the mix you have a clash of opposites. Change? If Obama dies and his running mate becomes President, what then? Biden's record is "Old School" politics to be sure. McCain's is not. They are right to say that McCain has been fought by Reps and Dems alike in his entire tenure in politics. This man was not liked by his own party!!! He IS the "Original Maverick". It's sad that people can be so led astray by B.S. as to think a man with no experience is going to bring change with a running mate that is the epitome of what they claim to change! And that those same people believe that McCain and Palin would be another 4 years of George W Bush, (OMG, please get a brain!!!) In our history, the best mix has always been the House and Congress held by one party and the Presidency held by the other, (interesting that). Yet the absolute best mix is Rep house/senate and Dem President. We can't have that anytime soon, although they've really held up their part of the bargain, those Dems, haven't they? Worst approval rating in decades for this Dem controlled congress, near GWB's pathetic rating...So go ahead, put Obama in the White House, see his change get implemented. Watch your taxes go up through inflation as he taxes the businesses that make America's engine run. (See California) Watch those businesses take their facilities elsewhere when he adds tariffs for those companies outsourcing their labor, (which is why you can buy your goods at WALMART so cheaply). And watch spending that is not war related begin to equal the spending on the war! Universal Early Childhood Education, Universal this and that. It's called socialism and it will cost your grandchildren. Finally, watch as we remain dependant on foreign oil, since he and the Dems won't pursue ALL avenues for energy independence both in the short term and long term...I weep for my children and grandchildren should he be elected.

Chris H: maybe one reason why Congress is so reviled is because the Democrats haven't been able to do what they were elected to do: end the war. Seems like anything they manage gets vetoed...McCain & Palin will be 4 more years of Bush: McCain has shown he is willing to sell out at the touch of a button; he's willing to make knee-jerk decisions, whatever the consequences. His choice of Palin is one, & you've seen how the Republican spin machine has gone into overdrive to cover up the gaffs ("Ignorance is strength," unwed mothers are OK, flip-flopping on that "bridge to nowhere" shows... decisiveness, or something).After that: Palin is of the same mould: on a "mission from God," focussed more with abortion and what other people are doing in what is supposed to be the privacy of their own bedrooms than with what's happening in her own family, against the environmental aims McCain has at least paid lip service to, etc.Which makes McCain what: a Maverick, or a loose cannon? More like doing whatever his paymasters tell him.Then again, if someone doesn't tax businesses, how will you ever repay your debt? all that money Walmart is shipping off to China? All you've borrowed from Europe & the Chinese to keep your mortgage game afloat?You do realise, don't you, that taxes and tariffs are two different things? Whereas taxes might induce companies to relocate elsewhere, tarrifs might induce them to return...?Socialised sewage, roads, schools, post office, Medicare, even a socialised war are OK, but somehow socialised medicine is not?Chad does hit the nail on the head with one thing: the world is tired of Bush & Republicans in general. McCain is widely perceived as threatening a new "Cold War" with his stupid Georgia response, and no one can seem to figure out what kind of kool-aid he must have been drinking to pick out this backwoods hick. Commentators outside the US don't have any expectation that Palin will be any more competent at diplomacy than Bush ever was. So you can pretty well kiss any expected alliances or "coalitions of the willing" goodbye... we've just about had it with Republican fall-out.
