Given his positions on taxes and free trade - he wants to raise taxes on capital gains and dividends up to 28 percent and he is very anti-free trade - I really think he would be a disaster.

How would returning capital gains taxes on the richest Americans to…

George Bush has nothing to do with this thread.

Regarding accomplishments for a person seeking the office of president, Bush did set the bar pretty low. I do sympathize, however. It would be better if Americans could completely get him out of our minds.

McCain's accomplishments were fully laid…

Question: Why would a presidential candidate whose overweening narcissism led him to pen not one but two autobiographies before the age of 45 (though he has no accomplishments Americans would generally recognize as making him presidential caliber)

What kind of person labels The Audacity of Hope as an "autobiography?"…

Unfortunately, Sen. McCain said it would be just the two of them.

The bogusness of it all comes in the fact that the town hall meeting is the ONLY forum McCain wants to subject himself to. I'm all for town hall meetings -- but also for other formats as…

sailwind - Thanks for the link.

Yes, it was wonderful to watch McCain displaying his ignorance -- and counting on more of the same from his Republican sycophants. Most laughable was his assertion that ordinary citizens can ask better questions than professional journalists. (Most citizens couldn't locate Iraq on…

Or that the Republican Slime Machine claims Michelle Obama used the word 'whitey.'.

As we can see here, the Republicans are masters at lying in the service of character assassination. Ask John McCain to recall the 2000 primary season, when the low-lifes were on him with every scurrilous lie…

obama should have enjoyed a double-digit bump in any poll after being selected by Lord Soros, the U.S. liberal media and the DNC. But he didn't.

What a laugh. The Democrats just finished a very intensive primary campaign, and a significant percentage of them have yet to come over…

Smitty, I don't think it was the lack of teleprompters that bothered the Obama campaign as much as having to deal with a rigged audience.

When you have to stack the deck in order to have a shot at winning, the game is over as far as I am…
