Today is John McCain's birthday. He is 72 years old. Both his father
and grandfather died of heart attacks before age 72.

yeah, well this is a " Hail Mary " Play by the Neocons;

Clarence Thomas - like,

Picking someone because of their ideological beliefs

not their qualifications for the job..

Nice lade though..

Well at least she runs a State, all Obama has run is his mouth!
It depends on what you think experience is. It is obvious you do not
care, you just do not like Obama.

Obama is one of the most openminded and relentless seekers of truth
among us. His writings at Harvard and his book "The Audacity of Hope"
and the way he managed his successful political campaign against the
bigots and the Clinton machine, his selection of Biden for VP, ,
certify him as unusually qualitfied to be president of the USA and a
world leader. It is unarguably, that simple.

Palin is irrelevant.... and so is McCain, Obama and Biden. The issue
is... do you want the USA to be conservative in the hatefull sense or
liberal, in the "we are our brothers keepers" sense?


Do you want a theocracy or separation of church and state?
Do you want privacy and security or domestic spying and extortion?
Do you want an alternative energy economy and the 3MM new USA jobs it
creates or support tax breaks and the ruse of expanded domestic oil
dirlling and it's depletion of our security, wealth and jobs?
Do you want tax breaks for the rich AND the funneling of government
hotchecks to Republican cronies?
Do you want trickle down economics or do you want a strong labor
movement?
Do you want excellent, cost effective healthcare or do you want the
private insurance industry to take 30% off the top and dictate what
services you will get? The big lies: medical saving accouts are good
for you and America . The big truth..60% of the medical profession
want a single payer government run system rather than an insurance
company run system!! The other big lie delivered by all
Republicans: IT IS NOT ABOUT SEEING THE DOCTOR OF YOUR CHOICE!!

This election should not be presented as about race, McCain, Obama,
or the Democrats. It is about a Republican Party that has morphed to
no social redeeming value, a party now steeped in

propaganda and rmisinformation
unbridled greed
censorship
militarism
deficits
bribery
extortion
retribution
theocracy
racism
corporatism
imperialism
cronyism
incompetence

There in lie all the Republicans. That is why in the last eight
years, with Tom DeLay's help ALL the Republicans in the Congress and
Senate voted with G W Bush 90+% of the time except Ron Paul.. who is
not an official Republican thus he is excluded from their convention
and policy boards.



On religion-what do we have to do to universalize in the populace
......a vibrant
penchant to seek knowledge and truth? You don't.....


Apparently it's inherent.... from Albert Lea to Crawford; from Beirut
to Tehran. That's why the religious right ....Islamic to
Fundamentalist Christian,,from Judaism to Catholicism....have the
followers they do.


And the super rich rise above the lemmings. Smiling, and gloating they
quietly go about increasing their wealth and enjoying their power over
people and commerce. Knowing that religion is primarily for
controlling the masses....and the gullible needing a crutch.


So...how do you counter the purveyors of truth...the religious
right...their underlying methods and precepts generating hate,
bigotry, intolerance...the encouragement of war and killing literally
and figuratively for.......god?


And that boys and girls...pretty much summarizes the "evil" and
destructiveness of organized religion.


Anytime a preacher speaks against someone's personal behavior, the
sins of the bible, Koran, Quran.... walk out.
