China is a boom and bust economy, don`t woory about them , they are still 3rd world, they are not a threat.

Ah, but it's a matter of perception. Didn't someone associated with the Bush campaign in '04 say, "We create our own reality."

People have grown uneasy with the…

Betzee- That`s right insult a war hero by comparing him to Japanese soldiers, who you know have a bad name worldwide.

Stealthbomber, I will refer to another columnist from the NYT's (I know I'm overquota on quoting from the liberal media):

*While McCain’s experience was heroic, did it create a…

In fact,

[M]ost Americans have turned their backs on the Iraq war, no matter how much McCain keeps bellowing about “victory.” The Bush White House is now poised to alight with the Iraqi government on a withdrawal timetable far closer to Obama’s 16 months than McCain’s vague promise of a…

I think they will go with Tim Pawlenty as the VP nod. I don't know if that is such a good idea considering that Pawlenty was forced to break a campaign spending vow late in his campaign against Minnesota's AG Mike Hatch.

Taka,

I went to college in Minnesota…

Carly Fiorina was supposed to bring Hillary's female supporters into the McCain camp. She has also been proposed as a running mate for the aging Senator which elicited the following letter to the editor of the San Jose Mercury News:

*The Mercury News reports that Carly Fiorina may be…

Well, Senator McCain can always ask Hillary to join his ticket if he feels some great injustice has been done to her.

Just as McCain's advisor thought he benefited from the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, Biden's VP stock certainly rose after Russia invaded Georgia. To listen to McCain talk, you'd…

Not hard to do.

Ah, but the Republicans made that an advantage. Don't you remember how GWB campaigned in 2000 as a "compassionate conservative"? With a mere six years as Governor of the Lone Star state under his belt he had not accumulated enough of a paper trail for anyone…

Well each man person is going to go for someone who compensates his perceived weaknesses. Obama, selected someone with a longer resume (following in the footsteps of GWB here in choosing Dick Cheney), and McCain presumably will go with Mitt Romney owing to his long career in the private sector.…

Betzee, you should have pride in the USA

Hey, just because I prefer Humphrey Bogart to Chuck Norris does not provide sufficient cause for you to question my patriotism. After all, which one was bestowed with a commemorative postage stamp?

Look we`ve just stopped a Russian military invasion without firing…

Oh, Adverts, how could you??? That's one of my all-time favorite films!

To quote Humphrey Bogart from The Maltese Falcon, "The cheaper the country, the gaudier the patriotic patter."
