"ITS A RICH MANS WAR AND A POOR MANS FIGHT"I think our service members should be honored because the vast majority enlist with the most honorable of intentions. Even more - after those intentions have been abused by those in power waging useless wars and use them as pawns by claiming people disrespect them when in fact we disrespect the fact that they get shoved into harms way for no good reason.when some like John McCain puff up their experiences and make phoney claims like saying he turned down early release when the Vietnamese learned he was the son of an Admiral when in FACT in his own personal account in 1973 he said the Vietnamese refused medical treatment until they learned his dad was an Admiral which was within DAYS of his capture. His claim of "country before self" in his case turns out to be a lie http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/2008/01/28/john-mccain-prisoner-of-war-a-first-person-account.html?PageNr=1 Also the code of honor dictates you DONT give aid to the enemy. He made some 60 propaganda broadcasts for the Vietnamese. Why are they stashed away?Quote from his personal account:Sometime later, "The Bug" came rushing into the room, shouting, "Your father is a big admiral;now we take you to the hospital."you will also discover that he lied when he claimed the "cross in the sand" story. In his account he mentions Christmas 5 times but NEVER the "Cross in the sand"! Why would it take him until he wrote his book some 25 years later to "remember"?Furthermore i have the GREATEST respect for the Vets that are without limbs and homeless with dwindling help from the likes of McCain who is collecting 100% disability while living between 10 homesTanner read the article it is on USNews site in McCain's wordskilla what it proves is that under torture you will say whatever the torturers want you to saykilla what it proves is that under torture you will say whatever the torturers want you to sayGary if he made them then it is proof that he didnt "put country before self" as he loves to claim todayhttp://www.usvetdsp.com/mcianhro.htm

Capital Gains Taxes, Dividends Tax, INHERITANCE TAX ect. Ect. (RIGHT, we’re getting this info. From people who are richer than ever)Here's the deal:Why are people so stupid?Mc/pain = rich people (not middle class, which is Small Business)Ob/biden = mid/poor class (most of us, @ least 175 million) If you’re in the middle and poor why are you selecting the Republican Party??And about the tax code, you should know all the facts:As of right now, if your investing this means you’re making to much money, way more than the common American and of course your advisor would suggest to lower your tax bracket for the end of the year by investing x percentage of your salary for the future. Now, that been said you will understand that you will not be paiding the x-tax rate issue by the IRS but a lower one, a great relief for your pocket (good news 4 u, not so good for the America). Now this should make you feel a little bit dirty because you’re actually cheating yourself for not paying the right about to the IRS, right. Of course you can explain that you have the rights as an American to Invest for your future, but keep in mind you are not the ONLY person in America so actually your cheating to the American people, right (Loop-hole). Ok so you will retire with all your promise investments (remember you been avoiding all those x-tax rates for more than 35+ years, is time to pay up, don’t you think: CAPITAL GAINS TAX, DIVIDEND TAX , INHERITANCE TAX, (YOU GET MY POINT)haahaha that's my point, Alot of us are so afraid that we need rich people in the American payroll but for some weired reason they forget that only a few will enjoy this life style. I would say good for you leave this Country and go try the same greedy ways in another country, let see how long you last.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080904/ap_on_bi_go_ec_fi/productivity;_ylt=ApxMlJ9tI5OrxD42_ahLk8dv24cADoes that mean the richer or getting richer & poorer are getting poorer

This amounts to our billions bailing out private banks as they get richer and we pay, very nice arrangement how do I get in on the looting of taxpayers? I want billions for my Swiss bank account too. This is better than the Iraq war scam pillage.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/mortgage_giants_crisis

This is a serious question so please I mean no harm or to make people hate me. But its been a total of three years since I have not watch tv, I can't stand hearing how rich people on the news do stupid things or seeing magazines about a gross looking item like shoes they bought for 500.00 dollars when people like me have to save and 500 dollars is like two weeks of pay if I do overtime! But the pricey things they buy is to question their taste.I even tried to be nice, a total of two rich guys asked me out and guess what? Like most rich guys because they have money they want to use you for sex in return : ( I even turned another one down who offered 20.000 dollars yes temping, but my morals and am a virgin I didn't give in....and now I feel stupid but I guess I did the right thing.But to me they seem so selfish and uncaring on whats going on.I myself want to be rich BUT I will help others without the greedy knowing that since I help others I can get it all back through taxes. Yes rich people who help others get it all back through taxes....they make sure.But I miss watching tv, I miss having a peaceful mind set. Its just so unfair. I want this new outfit but will have to save for it, when they can buy it now also I have to pay for school when they...............ok my point is how can I get over this? Am really a nice person and I knew a rich guy who got rich off of others but again am not a slut sadly. How can I get over this?lol sorry wrong section!!! Was suppose to go to culture section. But just answer if you can, don't want to use up more points. Sorry again.Brain S. what you said is very true, I was complaining about the friends I made either they need more money then me or were begging for my last and when I needed help they were long gone or pretend they forgot. But your right you and somebody A. gave great advice.

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1593771/20080828/yankee_daddy.jhtmlI love his quote about two kinds of insurance "rich have great insurance, poor don't." Really? I'm a normal middle class guy who used to work at a hospital. I know what a racket insurance is, and have seen people from ALL walks of life failed by their insurance company, in several ways. It's not just the Bronx, idiot. It happens in the burbs too.And if you think your healthcare will improve when everyone is given free healthcare, you are sadly mistaken. You think it's hard to get into a Specialists office now? He obviously is very uneducated, and is totally clueless when it comes to grown up things. Stick to one syllable words and smoking and drinking all day, friend.Hilarious!!!!Oh-and this is RHH related because Fat Joe is a hip hop "artist." Another chuckle.Informed, polite, intelligent answers I'm getting here. Put down the microphone, turn off the mixer, pull up your pants, stop speaking slang, and read a book. It'll do you some good as well as gain you some actual credibility as American citizens.

I'm not american...Im not even IN america lol but u know what...I watch the news. and I would say that anyone who votes for Mccain is just falling for his traps. I believe that although he has more experience than Obama....He is a sly, Selfish, cunning person. Hence his choice in running mate. He didnt pick someone who could run this country in case something happened to him. he picked someone who could win him more votes! Female votes! He thinks about himself before he thinks about wats best for America. Do u really see Pretty Ms Sara as President when McCain dies of Cancer? she cant do it! Yea...Obama may have hurt himself when he didnt pick Hillary as running mate. But i believe that his decision was not for the betterment of himself..but that country !! He didnt choose the person who would give him the most votes (Hillary). He chose someone who is able to run that country if something should happen to him. He thought of AMERICA!! I think that was a wise noble choice which is quite refreshing when I see the old Political tricks that McCain is pulling on the American people. And if they are too blind to see that....its their loss of a GREAT president. And how can Americans be so tired of Bush...and Complain about him...Yet support McCain??? McCain is just a clone of bush who yells WAR WAR WAR!!! It doesnt make sense....and by the way...Saying Obama doesnt have experience is true.. he is INEXPERIENCED when it comes to ripping off the american people and lying just to get richer. he is INEXPERIENCED when it comes to thinking of himself and being hungry for power. Ya...McCain is WAY more experienced in that. And I believe that Obama really has Change to offer this country... McCain will just be a terrible reflection of Bush and his rediculous policies... THINK AMERICANS !!! THINK !!Now tell me americans...What DO u think ?? if u even think at all...I bet u guys wished that u had voted for Al Gore now huh...now that u saw what Bush did !! dont make the same mistake twice......Oh um...I aint in europe lol Im in the Caribbean BabyQuestion for Wish2tre..and wat not. Why do u believe that Its americans job to rescue the world ?? If by rescuing u mean....doing the same thing that happened in Iraq in my country.....then leave us alone...thats fine by me ! No 1 asked america for its ''protection'' from wat THEY think is right and wrong. When the world needs help..it will ask. but dont come bargin in without consent like u own the place

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080908/ap_o...These places have been hit by one cyclone after another, they are not rich countries, and they were battered last year at this time too.306 people have been killed in Haiti alone.(I'm asking this in R&S because religion is supposed to make people care about others and do something to help them, not just argue about theology.)Make that 600 dead in Haiti, with thousands left without water or food for 4 days.

And please spare the Clinton references as he is neither divorce nor did he confess (I know he lied) he was almost impeached for it and in 1992, during the course of his campaign, Bill Clinton was forced to make the euphemistic admission that he "caused pain" in his marriage. McCain was still married and living with his wife in 1979 while, according to The New York Times' Nicholas Kristof, "aggressively courting a 25-year-old woman who was as beautiful as she was rich." McCain divorced his wife, who had raised their three children while he was imprisoned in Vietnam, then launched his political career with his new wife's family money. In 2000, McCain managed to deflect media questioning about his first marriage with a deft admission of responsibility for its failure.What does this say about McCains Morals and family values? Then we had Giuliani speaking Tuesday night. Come on Giuliani????Giuliani informed his second wife, Donna Hanover, of his intention to seek a separation in a 2000 press conference. The announcement was precipitated by a tabloid frenzy after Giuliani marched with his then-mistress, Judith Nathan, in New York's St. Patrick's Day parade, an acknowledgement of infidelity so audacious that Daily News columnist Jim Dwyer compared it with "groping in the window at Macy's." In the acrid divorce proceedings that followed, Hanover accused Giuliani of serial adultery, alleging that Nathan was just the latest in a string of mistresses, following an affair the mayor had had with his former communications director.Yet the Republican have better morals...............................It seems when it comes to personal morality there is one standard for Democrats and another for Republicans (and another one entirely for the Clintons).But I must point out that McCain is the first confessed adulterer. This comes ten years after infidelity was considered a dealbreaker for a presidential candidate, the party that presents itself as the arbiter of virtue may field an unprecedented two-timing trifecta.Address the double standard BTW: The fact the McCain still pays alimony is of no consequence he is worth 40 mil without the wife's money and he blind sided his wife.

My answer would be: Yes.Why? Hmmm, there are many factors that would prompt me to exchange an organ for monetary needs. I had been following the news in Singapore on Mr Tang... That set me thinking... Of course, there are many different classes of people... Some whom are rich and well-to-do. Some not here not there, some in the lowest points unimaginable to a normal working class individual. Scenario 1: I would 'trade' my organ in exchange for monetary assistance if any of my immediate family or loved one were to be seriously ill (this is of course because my medisave IS insufficient to cover the medical costs involved). Scenario 2:I would 'trade' my organ in exchange for a lease of life - Hope. I suppose this is a gamble end of the day. New lease of life for 2 parties. The recipient and myself... Everything else after is a question mark. How recipient takes care of his health post-op? How donor make good use of the monetary exchange post-op? Etc... By hope, I dont mean investing huge amounts of time and effort on vice means, but really, chart out a better future. For example, go for a proper education one never had. For the older group (lesser to non educated), set up a small stall, at least to make a couple of bucks at day end to start off a new day tomorrow...I am hoping to hear views from you. Please share your opinions.

Both of their fix-up plans rely heavily on tax cuts, but in sharply different ways that speak to the historic differences between Democrats and Republicans.McCain, borrowing a page from Ronald Reagan and President Bush, would keep tax rates low for higher-income taxpayers and slash rates for corporations, arguing that this is the way to jump-start a lethargic economy and create more jobs.Obama, focusing on a theme of many past Democratic campaigns, seeks to target his help to the squeezed middle class and address the growing income inequality between rich and poor. He would retain all of the Bush tax cuts for families making less than $250,000 a year, but would do away with Bush's cuts for people making more than that.The money raised from tax increases on the wealthy would be redirected by Obama to tax relief for lower-income Americans.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080908/ap_on_el_pr/candidates_economy

Throughout the last several decades, we have seen the world’s dependency on oil and gas, which are among two of the most important resources, growing at a rapid rate. The economy is influenced by many factors that determine its surplus or deficit. As the demand for oil and gas grows, the American family spends an average of $200 to $300 in gasoline every month. Oil and gas continue to be major contributors to the stability or instability, of the larger economies, such as those of the United States, Germany, and Japan, and the third-world nations as well.The world, as a whole, depends greatly on oil and gas as their main energy source. Our economy has continuously shown that it is seriously affected when gas and oil prices are on the rise. Over the last several years, the price per barrel has set record highs, and many economists question whether the price per barrel will ever drop to the forty or even the fifty dollar range. According to the Oil Price Information Service, supplies are still at a relatively good level, in spite of the growing demand for greater consumption. This demand has pushed the price of the gallon of gas in the United States from a comfortable amount of $2.09, to more than $3.50 a gallon, within the last several months. This price surge has been the highest since last year. Since our entire economy is oil energy dependent, that has raised the prices of both perishable and nonperishable goods that Americans purchase. Many analysts are in accord with the probability that it will reach $4.00 a gallon, by summer’s end. The catalysts responsible for these sharp increases are directly related to the many disruptive current events that we hear in our news channels. Recent world events such as the war in Iraq, the instability in Nigeria, and the conflict between Chavez and Bush have all contributed to the price of oil going up. This in itself has translated to an increase in gasoline prices. The war in Iraq has also caused instability in the region and a decrease in production, coupled with an increase in demand from emerging nations such as China and India. The oil rich country of Nigeria has also been dealing with internal political conflicts, which has brought about sabotage and chaos in its region. While it is dealing with these local problems, it too is unable to focus on maintaining a production level needed to keep the price per barrel of oil at an acceptable level. It has been obvious that in the international market the consumption of oil and gas is increasing day by day. It is due to the fact there are numerous more advancements in the field of science and technology so we have more requirements. Despite of all these facts we have limited reserves of gas and oil in many countries so import usually results in the facts. All we can do is to pray for betterment and wait for a miracle. Our energy future is extremely important to everyone with costs increasing by double digit amounts almost daily. When asking about the price of anything, the answer is always "Supply and Demand". The demand for fuel is higher. The supply is limited.There are also conflicts of interests between Venezuela’s president Hugo Chavez and the George Bush’s administration. Constant quarrels between the two presidents may also fuel the price problems. Venezuela's proven oil reserves are among the top ten in the world. Oil generates about 80 percent of the country’s total export revenue, contributes about half of the central government’s income, and is responsible for about one-third of the country’s gross domestic product. In addition, the falling American dollar, coupled with the United States credit woes in the secondary mortgage market and its ominous banking industry, the U.S. dollar’s purchasing power continues to get battered. OPEC: Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. OPEC's mission is to coordinate and unify the petroleum policies of member countries and ensure the stabilization of oil markets in order to secure an efficient, economic and regular supply of petroleum to consumers, a steady income to producers and a fair return on capital to those investing in the petroleum industry. One of the greatest questions that has loomed over OPEC’s ability to keep the price of oil below an acceptable level, is whether or not OPEC will have the capacity to produce an average of 20 million barrels of crude oil, per day. It is no secret that OPEC has been known to submit false capable production numbers on several occasions. The international markets have on several occasions questioned whether or not they are actually capable of meeting the required production levels, or are they simply in a position where they may not be able to sustain the needed production levels, to combat the increasing price of gas. With these issues looming over our minds, the United States is now in a position where it must allocate a great amount of time and resources to curtail its dependency on foreidependency on foreign oil; however, the cost of this exploration will likely result in an insurmountable cost, that will be measured not on a monetary level, but on the loss of animal species and the habitat where those species reside. biological, seismic, and geological studies were used to complete a Legislative Environmental Impact Statement that described the potential impacts of oil and gas production in these areas. The results found has supported the environmentalist claim, that drilling will result in irreparable losses to several species that are common to the serene habitat. Polar bears and the millions of migratory birds that depend on the vital habitat would become extinct due to oil spills. Much of the nation’s coastal waters are offlimits to new oil and gas leasing until 2012 under executive orders first issuedby Bush’s father, President George H.W. Bush, in 1991 and extended by President Clinton in 1998.In addition, Congress has taken action annually since 1981 to preclude drilling in coastal areas. But high petroleum prices have caused policymakers to begin rethinking a variety of issues, including opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to energy exploration and imposing mandatory limits on greenhouse gas emissions from oil refineries and power plants. In addition, whether or not the areas have the necessary amounts of crude oil in the grounds has become a difficult question to answer. Although production has been going on in Alaska, on the Naval Petroleum Reserve since the 1970’s, it is at a very bare minimum, and it is not likely to impede on the ramped price increases, that we are seeing. Suppose the domestic production levels were actually sufficient to keep prices at bay, would our problems be resolved?The unfortunate answer to that questions is no, because during the early 1900’s, there were heavy tariffs imposed on domestic oil drilling. These tariffs were created to keep oil companies form drilling in these areas. During these early times, foreign oil dependency became that much more appealing, because there was never a tax imposed on the imports of foreign oil. It became cheaper and safer to import oil from other oil rich countries in the Middle East, Africa, and South America. In essence, the good tariff taxes that were levied some 60 years ago are now actually not so good, as far as making a strong argument to extract domestic crude oil today. Environmentalists, however, contend that it has kept our serene frontier less prone to species and terrain depletion. With so many different issues that we must contend with, to extract crude oil for our personal consumption, it is not difficult to understand why it has always been a very complex issue that the world must resolve.There is no real definitive solution to this problem, and as more problems come about, we are likely going to see this problem manifesting to major global problem.

As a struggling poor scientist, I already know the answer to that question. However, it looks like the rest of the public need to be reeducated right here and now. No, it's not a math, or English quiz that we shall conduct here. For this particular lesson is a lesson in simple one-on-one physics. If you boil water (H2O), it produces a lot of steam and a tiny amount of hydrogen gas too. However, if you electrify water it produces a mix of hydrogen and oxygen gas. Did you know that pure oxygen like its counterpart hydrogen is also highly explosive too, that's why you don't smoke a cigarette when breathing it after some surgery? I watched some News Channel report the other day, and the top story had to do with going back to those smaller Japanese imports. (The Reason) “That good old Fuel economy jazz"After hearing that, I thought to myself; “my God”, has all our God-given intelligence been somehow suppressed too? I mean; it's so simple and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out either. Everybody is now so concerned about the rising cost of fuel, be it; gasoline diesel or jet fuel. Yes, folks we have all become so concerned that were now enslaved by it. Yes so enslaved that many have temporarily postponed those family vacations in the wake of the rising fuel costs. There's even some foolish talk about lowering the speed limit on those expressways to 55 once again. The good Lord only knows how truly upset and outraged I have become as the summer season goes slowly by. I'm sure that you too (unless you're already filthy stinking rich) feel that rage growing inside.

I have several groups and would like to customize the newsletters, I think the indication was to use rich text?

They were talking about it ANTM, where one of the contestants was asked to go to saudi arabia to "model," but she saw through it.Does anyone know more about this practice? like are there any news articles or anything talking about traficing american or european girls to saudi arabia?

The liberals in my city are fuming over McCain's choice of a woman VP. The only effective argument they had against McCain was that he's another George Bush and electing him would not be a change. They fully expected him to choose a plain vanilla, rich white guy, and when the news came accross our computers that he didn't, the F word flew freely and loudly. They can't very well go on and on about how historic Obama is because Palin is historic also. They can't risk insulting working mothers, and of course arguing her inexperience opens up a huge can of worms for Obama as well.So what do you think their new strategy be?

Do you hate the rich manipulative scumbags who makes posts on here pretending to be poor and middle class and asking questions about why Obama wants to raise taxesor do you hate the average bible thunping fox news watching Republican who doesnt know any better and is just brainwashed by Fox Newsme I hate the manipulative ones more, they are ultimatly the problem in America and it would be awesome if we could line them all up and slit their throats, that would be so awesome

I know she's uber-rich and can flaunt it, but geez!"Vanity Fair editors estimated that McCain's fierce saffron shirt dress with the popped collar, diamond earrings, four-strand pearl necklace, white Chanel watch and strappy shoes totaled up to $313,100."http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080905/ap_en_ot/cvn_gop_fashion$313 THOUSAND dollars for one outfit?!If Michelle Obama wore a $300,000 outfit, the Republican cries of "elitist!" would never end.When Cindy McCain does it, all we hear is "well, she's rich and that's ok".No, I'm not jealous. I don't wear dresses or pearls.Philip: I didn't ask about her charitbale contributions, which I know are substantial. I asked about her $300,000 dress, and what kind of message that sends to poor and middle-class people.

Yahoo is for all Americans. Rich and Poor, Black and White, Liberal and Conservative. It just sickens me on the liberal bias found in Yahoo news. We as conservatives should also have a voice as well. We are so weary of this. Would you please consider partnering with conservative news. I am not saying to ditch the associated press, I am sure some americans prefer this slant on the news, but please do not forget us conservatives. We love yahoo too, we use your mail, answers, search, videos, pictures, travel, directions, ect. Why not be more fair and balanced and include Fox news or someone to represent our views. Thank you for considering this and for your time.

Miracle Ice Cream by Adrienne Rich Miracle's truck comes down the little avenue,Scott Joplin ragtime strewn behind it like pearls,and, yes, you can feel happywith one piece of your heart.Take what's still given: in a room's rich shadowa woman's breasts swinging lightly as she bends.Early now the pearl of dusk dissolves.Late, you sit weighing the evening news,fast-food miracles, ghostly revolutions,the rest of your heart.

"Christopher Foster the multi millionaire"" missing multi millionaire""arson millionaires mansion" That's all i see and hear at the moment, there are a billion worse things going on in the world, why focus and this. Awhile back a millionaires wife was stabbed while walking her child she did not die but this made national news while on the same day a girls body was found chopped into pieces but just about made the local paper. I'm so sick of this S*£t someone help me out here

LOL! How out of touch can you be, Johnny??"The top 1 percent of all households owned 35 percent of the world's wealth last year. Meanwhile, the top 0.001 percent, ultra-rich households holding at least $5 million in assets, commanded $21 trillion -- a fifth of the world's wealth."http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080904/us_nm/wealthmanagement_report_dc

there is no such thing as liberal bias?That is such bullshit,and I'm a liberal!It's so obvious.I know what the argument is. All the networks are owned by rich,white dudes who would not like Obama's tax increase,and that they're conservatives.Ted Turner is the owner of CNN,and he's considered liberal.I just find it crazy.Look at MSNBC.Keith Olbermann is the most liberal on that network.He constantly rails against Bush. If the network owners were conservative,don't you think they'd tell him to shut up. CNN is not,in my opinion,incredibly biased towards Democrats,but it's obvious they favor Democrats. CBS,ABC,and NBC also favor Democrats. MSNBC is the liberal version of FOX News. They haven't stooped to FOX's level yet,but they're getting down there pretty fast.Also, these networks are not closely monitored by their owners like FOX News is monitored 24/7 by Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes.I'm not saying that the owners of the other networks are rooting for Obama to win,but they're anchors and reporters are pretty biased towards ObamaYes,I know about the Reverend Wright thing.I also know about the other media circus over Democrats like Eliot Spitzer,John Edwards,and Bill Clinton,but that's because those are hot stories.Especially with Obama,he hadn't messed up,and the Wright thing was the first time something controversial came out about him.Look at the newspapers as well. NYT,LAT,the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune.They're all pretty liberalAm I the only liberal who believes there is such a thing as liberal bias?@ Swizzlestick,so just because I said that there's a liberal bias,I'm suddenly an idiot like Rush Limbaugh? Just because I don't agree with all liberals,I'm suddenly a douchebag neo-con like him? That's what the other side does isn't it?

John McCain voted against establishing a national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now he says his position has "evolved," yet he's continued to oppose key civil rights laws.1 According to Bloomberg News, McCain is more hawkish than Bush on Iraq, Russia and China. Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says McCain "will make Cheney look like Gandhi."2 His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban.3 McCain opposes a woman's right to choose. He said, "I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned."4 The Children's Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children. He voted against the children's health care bill last year, then defended Bush's veto of the bill.5 He's one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires. The Associated Press reports he and his wife own at least eight homes! Yet McCain says the solution to the housing crisis is for people facing foreclosure to get a "second job" and skip their vacations.6 Many of McCain's fellow Republican senators say he's too reckless to be commander in chief. One Republican senator said: "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He's erratic. He's hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."7 McCain talks a lot about taking on special interests, but his campaign manager and top advisers are actually lobbyists. The government watchdog group Public Citizen says McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates.8 McCain has sought closer ties to the extreme religious right in recent years. The pastor McCain calls his "spiritual guide," Rod Parsley, believes America's founding mission is to destroy Islam, which he calls a "false religion." McCain sought the political support of right-wing preacher John Hagee, who believes Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for gay rights and called the Catholic Church "the Antichrist" and a "false cult."9 He positions himself as pro-environment, but he scored a 0—yes, zero—from the League of Conservation Voters last year.10 Sources: 1.

Let's see. Your base is of the old, rich, uneducated, and/or just stupid blind followers.The Democratic base is of the young, working class, middle class, educated and/or poorGWB has made great strides in widening the huge Third World like gap between the Rich and the Poor. Also between the Rich and the "middle class" which is basically poor nowadays. That puts your base in the minority - just like the low turnout at your convention. Obama packed a record number of people at his acceptance. McCain won't do that and that's bad news bears for you.

New NFL Rules Include Coin-Toss ChoiceNEW YORK (AP)—The NFL decided last April to allow coaches to make a choice if they win the coin toss at the start of the game—take the ball or defer to the second half, just as they do in college.It takes effect when the Redskins visit the Giants Thursday night in the season opener, one of several new rules for the 2008 NFL season.In the exhibition season, most teams have done it the old way—they have chosen to take the ball. But that may have been because coaches wanted to look at their offenses quickly so it could change when the games count and they decide they’d like to start the second half with offenses on the field.“I think there are some advantages to deferring but we have played in an awful lot of games where, when we win the toss, we take the ball and we have done well in a lot of those games as well,” New England coach Bill Belichick said when asked why he took the ball at the start of Thursday’s game.“I don’t know if there is anything to getting the ball and having first crack at it or giving it up and having that first possession in the second half.”The coin toss deferral is one of several new rules, most of them geared to defense after a decade of rules that generally helped the offense.They include:— Giving designated defensive players a radio in his helmet, allowing coaches to relay defensive signals just as offensive signals are relayed from offensive coaches to the quarterback.— Eliminating the 5-yard penalties for incidental face masks. Only the 15-yard penalty for grabbing and twisting the mask will be enforced. In addition, officials will be on the lookout for offensive players who latch on to the face masks of defenders in an effort to take them out of plays.— Eliminating the force out rule. In the past, officials could rule a receiver whose feet had not touched in bounds had made a catch because a defensive player had forced him out. Under the new rule, a receiver must land with both feet in bounds regardless of whether or not he is hit while in the air.“We feel that with so many levels of judgment that go into the force-out call, it creates a more consistent play when either you get your feet down for a complete pass or you do not,” says Atlanta president Rich McKay, co-chairman of the competition committee, which proposed the change.— Extending instant replay to cover field goal and extra points and illegal forward handoffs. One reason the rule was added was a play at the end of a game in Baltimore in which Phil Dawson’s 51-yard game-tying field goal attempt for Cleveland bounced off an upright, then off the support behind the crossbar. Officials first ruled it no good because they thought it had hit the crossbar, then conferred and made the correct call.The Browns went on to win in overtime.— Muffed snaps will now be in play if they are not touched, allowing the defensive team to recover. In the past, they were ruled a false start.http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-nflruleschanges&prov=ap&type=lgnsAnd yes, it's a looong question; it's a looong list.

They're the richest country in the world for goodness sake, their government should be bussing them all out to luxury hotels across the country, not making 'news alerts' and making the rest of the world watch in perpetual boredom.What should be on the news 24/7 is the ongoing plight of all the 3rd world and war torn countries in the world, but you dont hear any of that on a regular basis do you? (apart from Iraq and currently Georgia of course)

Will you help me call the delegates, to nominate Ron Paul?This is the same way Abraham Lincoln got nominated... as Lincoln was the presumed loser... and was the underdog.In this case, of Ron Paul, we have seen how the people support him, more than any other candidate. How so, might you ask?His message, his brilliance, and his credibility. Ron Paul is not only a Vietnam Vet, but he is a Medical Doctor (the only candidate whom is qualified to talk healthcare,) and he is a 10-term congressman.. thats a pretty long time.As being the only candidate to VOTE AGAINST THE PATRIOT ACT (Yes, Obama and McCain were avid supporters..) and against REALID, he seeks to abolish the IRS, and pull our troops home from all over the world...he has a vast plan for action, that never gets the chance to be heard.. Read: Revolution A Manifesto.It is a guide to how America can work without the IRS, how we can re-incorporate the Gold Standar, pull our troops home and save billions, and re-make America into a country that produces, rather than consume!!!!McCain and Obama wish to increase ties to the UN, both virtually have the same foreign relations idea... dont ask me, read it on the Council on Foreign Relations homepage.. which , yes, both are members on this council, which is not governmental, yet forms agendas and ideas on how to pursuade government.Obama ideology will increase the size of the government, in fact, where we have even less control and freedoms over it. The same is true with McCain..none of them ever speak of increasing states rights, and eliminating the Federal Governments role in your life. FOLKS WAKE UP, YOU ARE BEING TAXXED ON TAXXED MONEY. Thats not even a conspiracy, thats common knowledge. You pay taxes out of your pay check, and than pay more taxes on what you purchase... on money that has been taxxed.BOTH OBAMA AND MCCAIN SUPPORT THIS.... DONT SCREW UP!!! WE HAVE ONE LAST CHANCE FOR HOPE: Ron Paul!The media would not let us advertise on the major stations, thus creating a problem with getting his name out there, plus many people believed that he had dropped out of the race when FOX news discluded him from the forum debate. RON PAUL WON ALL OF THE NON-MULTIPLE CALL LINE POLES, ON FOX NEWS, AND CNN.Fight the coorperate media celebrity superstars. The media wants you to vote for McCain and Obama, this is why they advertise them so fervantly. They believe in their messages, because big coorperation benefits from this.Obama says he will tax the rich, and reduce taxing on the middle and lower class... but this is not as good as it sounds. When you increase tax on major coorperations, and the rich... they tax you back, buy increasing the amount of all merchandise, and goods that they sell...basically, when the rich is taxxed, only the rich can afford to buy anything. SO YOUR STILL GOING TO GO BANKRUPT!!!!CALL YOUR DELEGATE FOR RON PAUL TODAY. RON PAUL WILL ACCEPT THE NOMINATION IF US PEOPLE STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WILL YOU?????

At the start of the day when I heard the news, I thought "no, us Democrats are fukced."Now I think "yes," because of these uncovered reasons:1) She is under investigation in Alaska for abuse of power2) She supports big oil (her husband works for an oil company)3) She is opposed to listing the Polar Bear as an engangered species, and is suing the federal government4) She supports Pebble Mine which will destroy the richest salmon run in the world5) She supports aerial shooting of bears and wolves in Alaska6) She is strongly opposed to reproductive rights for women7) She supports drilling in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge8) She has no federal or international experience & has only been mayor of a small town and a beauty queen!9) She stands for everything that Hillary Clinton stood against10) She is pro-war

Did you know that ol' Barry Obama has a Half brother that lives in a poor African country, making $12 a year? B.O has given this man $0 towards anything in his entire life. What ever happened to this man who wants to take from the rich and give to the poor? You dont hear about that on the mainstream news networks do you?The only ones who have ever sent him money were two people off of the glenn beck conservative talk show.what do you think about that?

Watching the news the other day, this is what I got from a conversation on both candidates about taxes:McCain-wants to take an equal percentage of taxes from richer and poorer citizens. As in if the government taxes rich people 20% of their annual earnings, they will tax poor people 20% of their annual earnings.Obama-wants to tax poor people a far less percentage (say 10%) amount of their annual earnings, while raising what percentage (say 20%) the rich must pay in their taxes for annual earnings.Whom do you agree with and how would that be fair?

Remember when John Edwards was criticized for getting a $400 haircut?For the McCains, that's peanuts. First we had John McCain unable to tally up the number of homes the couple owns. He also quipped that unless you make $5 million, you're not rich, but middle class.Now it's been revealed that Cindy McCain's outfit at the Republican convention cost around $300,000.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080905/ap_en_ot/cvn_gop_fashionDo you think the McCains' extravagant lifestyle will have an impact on the election, considering the current state of the economy?

This is from CANADA not from McCain, and McCain did not interact with the Saudis. That's really sorry that you tried to bring in an unrelated name.Percy Sutton is on video stating the association, so it's not only one article that talks about this.

This is a serious question so please I mean no harm or to make people hate me. But its been a total of three years since I have not watch tv, I can't stand hearing how rich people on the news do stupid things or seeing magazines about a gross looking item like shoes they bought for 500.00 dollars when people like me have to save and 500 dollars is like two weeks of pay if I do overtime! But the pricey things they buy is to question their taste.I even tried to be nice, a total of two rich guys asked me out and guess what? Like most rich guys because they have money they want to use you for sex in return : ( I even turned another one down who offered 20.000 dollars yes temping, but my morals and am a virgin I didn't give in....and now I feel stupid but I guess I did the right thing.But to me they seem so selfish and uncaring on whats going on.I myself want to be rich BUT I will help others without the greedy knowing that since I help others I can get it all back through taxes. Yes rich people who help others get it all back through taxes....they make sure.But I miss watching tv, I miss having a peaceful mind set. Its just so unfair. I want this new outfit but will have to save for it, when they can buy it now also I have to pay for school when they...............ok my point is how can I get over this? Am really a nice person and I knew a rich guy who got rich off of others but again am not a slut sadly. How can I get over this?

They've both been poor and know what it's like.I'm not faulting the McCains for their wealth. I'm faulting them for TRYING to ACT like they can relate to something that they haven't a CLUE about.

John McCain voted against establishing a national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now he says his position has "evolved," yet he's continued to oppose key civil rights laws. According to Bloomberg News, McCain is more hawkish than Bush on Iraq, Russia and China. Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says McCain "will make Cheney look like Gandhi." His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban. McCain opposes a woman's right to choose. He said, "I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned." The Children's Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children. He voted against the children's health care bill last year, then defended Bush's veto of the bill. He's one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires. The Associated Press reports he and his wife own at least eight homes! Yet McCain says the solution to the housing crisis is for people facing foreclosure to get a "second job" and skip their vacations. Many of McCain's fellow Republican senators say he's too reckless to be commander in chief. One Republican senator said: "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He's erratic. He's hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me." McCain talks a lot about taking on special interests, but his campaign manager and top advisers are actually lobbyists. The government watchdog group Public Citizen says McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates. McCain has sought closer ties to the extreme religious right in recent years. The pastor McCain calls his "spiritual guide," Rod Parsley, believes America's founding mission is to destroy Islam, which he calls a "false religion." McCain sought the political support of right-wing preacher John Hagee, who believes Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for gay rights and called the Catholic Church "the Antichrist" and a "false cult." He positions himself as pro-environment, but he scored a 0—yes, zero—from the League of Conservation Voters last year.Sources:1.

..........The Ant and The Grasshopper...............-This one is a little different.....Two Different Versions!.... TwoDifferent Morals!-OLD VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.-The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.-Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.-The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold. MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!---------------------- ---------------------MODERN VERSION:The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building hishouse and laying up supplies for the winter.-The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.-Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference anddemands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.-CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.-How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? -Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.'-Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, 'We shall overcome.' Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.-Barack Obama and Joe Biden exclaim in an interview with Larry King before the election that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper and, after the election, both claim that spending cannot be cut and call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.-Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.-The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of greenbugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home isconfiscated by the government.The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it.The ant has disappeared in the snow.-The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.-MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2008.

10 things you should know about John McCain (but probably don't):John McCain voted against establishing a national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now he says his position has "evolved," yet he's continued to oppose key civil rights laws.According to Bloomberg News, McCain is more hawkish than Bush on Iraq, Russia and China. Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says McCain "will make Cheney look like Gandhi."His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban.McCain opposes a woman's right to choose. He said, "I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned."The Children's Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children. He voted against the children's health care bill last year, then defended Bush's veto of the bill.He's one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires. The Associated Press reports he and his wife own at least eight homes! Yet McCain says the solution to the housing crisis is for people facing foreclosure to get a "second job" and skip their vacations.Many of McCain's fellow Republican senators say he's too reckless to be commander in chief. One Republican senator said: "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He's erratic. He's hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."McCain talks a lot about taking on special interests, but his campaign manager and top advisers are actually lobbyists. The government watchdog group Public Citizen says McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates.McCain has sought closer ties to the extreme religious right in recent years. The pastor McCain calls his "spiritual guide," Rod Parsley, believes America's founding mission is to destroy Islam, which he calls a "false religion." McCain sought the political support of right-wing preacher John Hagee, who believes Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for gay rights and called the Catholic Church "the Antichrist" and a "false cult."He positions himself as pro-environment, but he scored a 0—yes, zero—from the League of Conservation Voters last year.

Just like his comments about abortion at Saddleback and his original thoughts about the surge in Iraq.WASHINGTON - Democrat Barack Obama says he would delay rescinding President Bush's tax cuts on wealthy Americans if he becomes the next president and the economy is in a recession, suggesting such an increase would further hurt the economy. AP-NewsSo, how will he raise money for all those promises?

So much for the "fifty-state strategy" that they and Howlin' Howie Dean have been bragging about for months now. If you'll recall, that strategy was predicated on buying the Presidency by blanketing every state with thick wads of cash sucked in from rich Dems and the likes of George Soros.Alas, a-wishin'-an-a-hopin' turns out not to be an effective electoral strategy. Too bad those oh, so smart folks figured it out this early. lolBTW, ain't it nice to know that AP, that paragon of the left-wing press, is running yet another puff-piece on Mr. Perfect where it discovers him to be finding "hope" in Ohio. It would be hilarious if it weren't so predictable.Source: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080906/ap_on_el_pr/obama_strategy
