Who doesn't want to win ? But it's the way it is won or lost that's important. Is the election more about demolishing the opponent's character with controversial accusations to win at all costs or is it instead about attacking the opposing points of view and articulating better solutions to problems that the nation faces.

Bush. He could see today's nightmare coming several years ago and requested new regulation on the mortgage monoliths.<BR/><BR/>Congress refused to entertain the notion of regulation, basically telling people "there's nothing to see here, move along".<BR/><BR/>But The One doesn't deal in truth and facts. He's delusional and desperate. Which shows in his ads and speeches.<BR/><BR/>I say - let him talk all he wants. He continues to dig himself a nice big ole hole; I only hope the evil triumverate of Murtha, Reid and Pelosi join him there soon.<BR/><BR/>The whole thing about McCain and the use of computers and e-mail is so egregious - the man has physical disabilities that make it painful if not impossible to use a keyboard for long periods of time. It's disgusting that Obama's camp knew about that, yet went ahead with their slimey attack ad anyway.<BR/><BR/>Bastards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-49402546756504889432008-09-16T22:36:00.000-06:002008-09-16T22:36:00.000-06:00So glad to hear that your property survived the st...So glad to hear that your property survived the storm. It was soooo huge. We had the small eye of Hanna go over us and the winds were just minimal, still a few tree tops broke off out in the preserve behind the house. Hanna gave the middle of the state quite a lot of rain, but not us.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, do you think the Clintons are REALLY behind Obama... all the way? Or are they attempting to do enough to look involved but not enough to make a difference... could they be hoping that McCain wins, thus giving her another chance in four years?

And people support a man with SO little experience and so many questions unanswered while they GRILL Palen to an inch of her life.<BR/><BR/>disgusting......we should have known Obama's makeup when he picked Biden.

I read e-mails all the time, but the communications that I have with my friends and staff are oral and done with my cell phone. I have the luxury of being in contact with them literally all the time.
