Well, here comes another Civil War in America. I wonder how many innocents will die in this one.

Iran endorsing Obama? Not a huge surprise. A fascist state supporting a fascist dictator-like candidate who will overwhelmingly socialize the U.S.

Yup, $605 million can buy a lot of votes.

I love how Obama can lie so easily and tell the public that he is willing to give 95% of the population a tax cut. It's not even a tax cut in the first place. The plan offers a $500-$900 tax rebate. Of course, this is after he eliminates all of the tax cuts Bush gave and hikes the death tax (yes, that's right, you are taxed 3 times when you die), the dividend tax, and income tax. You may get $500 in the mail, but you will be spending an additional $1500 if your make below $60,000 a year and an addition 15% for every $15,000 above that.

I agree with FandB. The debate went well for Palin, and the Obama camp was not expecting a nearly flawless night. Once again, people will be looking at the McCain / Palin ticket after her performance. This is precisely what the ticket needs to keep things fresh after two weeks of fear mongering in the senate.

For a sexually deprived, that's right not depraved, country like Japan, they should be hailing the arrival of Duchovny. BTW, he is a wonderful actor and deserves more than a preposterous label that belittles his accomplishments.

I remember back in the early 90s that McDonald restaurants had to stop serving the McRib after nine incidents of contamination. Mice were being pressed into the patties.

Of course, why should only the station profit by airing popular music?

The Democrats should have taken President Bush's advice in 2003 when he fought for the establishment of a committee to regulate financial institutes like Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and Lehman Bros.

Of course, Democrat presidential nominees for the past 12 years have been in their pockets. It is not a surprise that they blocked all efforts to cease any proposals and bills to regulate these institutes:

Have fun looking over that.

The Democrats have ruled Congress for two years, and all they have done is run the American economy straight into the toilet. While the Lehman Brothers were handing out loans to people who didn't even have jobs, the Democrats were huddling together trying to push the Republican MINORITY to vote on bills that "officially" discredit Bush foreign policy. Nice job, Democraps. I am sure Hussein Obama will be able to campaign on the Democraps failure.

eh, English is overrated anyway. Translators should focus on German if English is too difficult. Americans should be able to cope with that at least.
Posted in: The English of most would-be translators is awfully poor. Few Japanese can actually read English accurately.

buddha4brains: Is that why Obama lost the majority of his prospective voters in the poles? Because the Democrats are slowing down to look at an accident?

The Democrats are going insane over the fact that November is still months away and they already lost. Obama / Biden have no idea what they are doing or going to do to prevent the carpet from flying away from beneath them. So instead they launch this massive attack on Palin's family and character, which is very similar to what Kerry attempted before it backfired. Unfortunately, the Democrats don't learn from their prior mistakes. And for that they will lose what could have been an easy election. Instead of attacking a Vice-presidential nominee, which is humorous in itself, maybe Obama and Biden will return to the true issues.

SuchiSake3: I'm sure Clinton had nothing to do with the slack of security that lead to the terrorist attacks. Except for the fact that he decreased military budgets by 63% then spent 720 billion dollars of Social Security funds on wasteful social welfare programs that did nothing but increase crime. And to think that no terrorists existed until the Iraq war is preposterous, seeming how we've been fighting the war on terror since Reagan. Just because Clinton decided to ignore the problem, that doesn't mean it disappeared. The so-called "6 trillion dollar debt" is once again just liberal propaganda that doesn't even exist. We still have less debt than what Clinton had before transferring our Social Security earnings. And lastly, they did talk about health care, tax cuts, and global warming, just in case you missed the perfect speech by McCain. Matter of fact, the Republicans are the only people actually providing details on their plans rather than spending hours on criticizing problems that may or may not even exist.

Palin proves herself once again with a great speech. She laid out who she is, what she has done, and what she will do. Obama is in some serious trouble. A Republican Vice-Presidential nominee woman with more experience than the Democratic Presidential nominee will be the talk point for months. There is nothing Obama can do to move around it. Instead, he sends his attack dogs in the media to diminish her reputation, and yet they are failing one-by-one. No wonder Obama's 8-point bounce from the DNC convention is rapidly disappearing.
