I thought Obama was going to use public funds for his campaign, instead of relying on support from lobbyists and special interest groups? At least, that was his position last year, when he wasn't raking in the bucks. He and McCain both pledged to do so in 2007, in the…

Watching "The View" for anything but entertainment is like watching The OReilly Factor for hard news.

Check Gibson interviewing Obama in June vs. Palin in September. Totally different questions and attitude.

You may want to compare Gibson's interview with Obama and his interview with Palin. With Obama, he threw soft questions of the "how do you feel about..." variety almost exclusively. For Palin he was more confrontational.

As for McCain and email, there is a very good reason he does not…

SS; I WOULD like to vote for McCain, but unfortunately it is not possible. As to his position regarding Iraq, he was one of few who correctly predicted the success of the surge strategy.

I would trust him more than the two lawyers nominated (for what, the thousanth time?) by…

Zurconium;

Every man has his breaking point. McCain reached his, as did countless other prisoners who were systematically brutalized by the North Vietnamese. I can't recall other PoWs who held it against him. As for "special treatment", McCain REFUSED special treatment due to his father's rank. In McCain's case, it…

No hero? His willing self sacrifice under horrific conditions while a PoW more than qualifies him. Doing the honorable thing, knowing there would be a horrible price to pay in terms of torture and agony, marks John McCain as a man among men.

Succinct answer- Palin has very little foreign policy experience. Then again, she doesnt need it, she's not running for President. Obama, similarly, has very little. The BIG differernce is that Obama wants the top job. Apples and oranges.

The real choice is between a hero (McCain) and a well meaning,…

Question for all the Republicans out there - what's your view on Sarah Palin's non-existant foreign policy record or the apparent fact she got her first ever passport only last year?>About the same as my views on Obama's similar non-existent resume. The big difference is that Obama wants the TOP…

One thing that struck me. Even IF the wrestlers test positive for THC in their blood, what proof is it that they actually smoked weed here in Japan? As far as I know, it shows up in your blood for a long time. It is easily possible that they smoked…

If my brother in law tasered my 11 year old nephew, I'd do a helluva lot more that just try to get him fired.

I remember when Biden was chosen, people were applauding Obama's prescience. They were all sure that Biden would be great in fulfilling the traditional Vice Presidential…
