The MSM tools that have moderated these debates have very carefully avoided offering the candidates any opportunity to explain their respective positions on the 2nd Amendment or the Fairness Doctrine.

"In addition to differences on taxes and spending, McCain said Obama advocated trade policies that recalled those of Herbert Hoover, who presided over the start of the Great Depression."
This part of an Obama presidency will be interesting. The Dems recently screwed our allies in democratic Columbia on expanding free trade with them either because Pelosi and friends are pro-Chavez (possible future Sec. of Education Bill Ayers certainly is) or because they are beholden to the unions and, like most "liberals" these days they lack a basic understanding of economics.
Either way it doesn't look good for certain countries heavily dependent on trade with the US.
I doubt Obama would go after Mexcio though - he needs the Hispanic support and to at least appear sincere about helping less fortunate nations.
But Canada is going to be a different story I think.

"Which party does the oil corporations have in their pocket? Hint: long history of tax breaks for the oil companies."
Which party is in the substantially deeper pockets ( 6, 7 times deeper) of the lawyers and legal firms?
Hint - they are so indebted to them they have put two of the same on their ticket, to signal their shared enthusiasm for screwing the middle class and the productive people in America and calling it "change".

By who?
Is it the secret handshake crowd, in faraway Zurich?

"We just had to make up stuff about WMD in Iraq as an excuse to invade despite no ties to al-Quaida or 9/11."
Well then, counselor, maybe you can tell us why Bush supposedly 'made up stuff about WMDs'.
You know - motive.
What was it?

"Shouts of “traitor,” “terrorist,” “treason,” “liar,” and even “off with his head” have rung from the crowd at McCain and Sarah Palin rallies, and gone unchallenged by them."
Lies, lies and more 'liberal' lies.
Secret Service says "Kill him" allegation unfounded
By Andrew M. Seder aseder@timesleader.com Staff Writer
SCRANTON – The agent in charge of the Secret Service field office in Scranton said allegations that someone yelled “kill him” when presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s name was mentioned during Tuesday’s Sarah Palin rally are unfounded.
The Scranton Times-Tribune first reported the alleged incident on its Web site Tuesday and then again in its print edition Wednesday. The first story, written by reporter David Singleton, appeared with allegations that while congressional candidate Chris Hackett was addressing the crowd and mentioned Oabama’s name a man in the audience shouted “kill him."

"As Barrack Obama's speeches have often made clear enough over the past months, both the Democrat and Republican parties represent the interests of two factions of America's ruling elite"
Who are these two?
Can you name the people and groups that comprise even one of them?
It would add a little credibility to your repetitive posts.

above post should read as follows
But the defeatist Left just comes with the usual snark ("Another number 2 eh?") or conspiracy ("I question the timing") or idiotic moral relativism ( Al Qaeda kills tens of thousands;renegade MPs killed one Iraqi at Abu Ghrab, it's all the same.)

Is it just me? I imagine ordinary folks hear news of this monster's death and they cheer. AQ targets women and children and unarmed men. It is known all over Iraq. It is what made ordinary citizens in places like Anbar turn against them.

"I'd use a basketball analogy."
While you still can.
Think what Obama and ACORN - style 'true diversity' and 'social justice' is going to do to the game at the pro level, where so few have so much.

"I suppose some Americans find Canadian politics boring is because we ignore trivial matters that end up dominating American politics"
Who said we find your politics boring? I read on here that Canadians find it boring.
You're just another quaint imitation of British parliament as far as we can tell.

"Anybody (election candidate) who distance himself/herself from Bush is likely to win !"
How insulting to Canadians. So you mean to say that their country is such a non-entity and so devoid of domestic issues and identity that clear victory can only go to the guy who fulminates longest and loudest against Bush?
Hey - will a bilingual Bush-hater unite the country, solve the pesky Quebec problem?

"...the GOP opening of globalization that sent the jobs of the cities you mentioned abroad where labor is cheaper and corporate profits higher."
Poor libs still think it's a zero sum game.
How many jobs will be going to places like English-speaking Ireland (corporate tax rate 11 percent) because our Dem-controlled Congress wants to keep America's corporate tax at 39 percent or even higher under a tax and spend Obama Reid Pelosi administration?
Which party wants instant citizenship for the 12 to 20 million illegals in America? How many jobs will that take? How does Obama plan to suddenly accomodate all those illegals in a health care system already faultering badly.
Worst of all the Democrats are poised to rob from the American worker the right to privacy on a union vote in the work place. This one absolutely amazes me. Under Obama union employess will see the secret ballot disappear from the workplace.
When they aren't buying votes with welfare and blanket amnesty the Democrats are stealing them via ACORN or denying them in the workplace.

CNN not long ago ran a story about the ten poorest cities in America:
"...Detroit, whose mayor has been indicted on felony charges, hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961. Buffalo has been even more stubborn. It started putting a Democrat in office back in 1954, and it hasn't stopped since.
Unfortunately, those two cities may be alone at the top of the poverty rate list, but they're not alone in their love for Democrats. Cincinnati, Ohio (third on the poverty rate list), hasn't had a Republican mayor since 1984. Cleveland, Ohio (fourth on the list), has been led by a Democrat since 1989. St. Louis, Missouri (sixth), hasn't had a Republican since 1949, Milwaukee, Wisconsin (eighth), since 1908, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (ninth), since 1952 and Newark, New Jersey (10th), since 1907.
The only two cities in the top 10 that I didn't mention (Miami, Florida, and El Paso, Texas) haven't had Republicans in office either -- just Democrats, independents or nonpartisans.
Over the past 50 years, the eight cities listed above have had Republican leadership for a combined 36 years. The rest of the time -- a combined 364 years -- they've been led by Democrats."

"Canadian politics is just downright boring"
I hear this from literally every Canadian I know.
Seems to me that when it comes to health care the body politic really suffers up there...
