- orelses, on 04/19/2008, -8/+38Mccain has a pre-cold war approach, which is going to cost us a lot of money to support so many new bases in the middle east. This is not a wise approach, just because he is a soldier at heart, does not mean he understands true foreign policy. He says Bin Laden speaks about Iraq being the central war on terror. However Bin Laden also says they are trying to bleed American dry; because thats all they can really do. And he just follows into that trap like all of the other neo-con suckers out there who think throwing more soldiers and money at the problem will some how fix it. Obama's approach includes a wider range of different views old and new and applies them to a more agile and thoughtful foreign policy. We have no other choice but to make things work without forcing our physical will on other countries whenever; because the economic stability and the national security of this country cannot afford it. In 2008 we have a choice to: protect the streets and borders of Iraq, or to protect the streets and borders of the United States. We cannot afford to both effectivly.
- LukasSmith, on 04/19/2008, -27/+3Obama has no real withdrawal plan in Iraq. He says at the earliest 2 years to remove all troops. Two fuking years. Might as well not even bother. After 2 years all kinds of ***** can happen like genocide and then will OBama be so quick to say oh pulling out is the best thing to do? BUt we have to let the world handle it. Together anything is possible. *****. All you need to do is look at afganistan an International effort and kosovo to know our allies are crap. Europe sat there twiddling their thumbs while serbs murdered Albanians. Actually they have been the same way in all kinds of other situations. Bosnia, Danfur. Yup Obama will be the president who probably wont get us out of Iraq. Which isnt change at all.
- kelalo, on 04/19/2008, -4/+23How can Obama have no withdrawal plan if he has, by your own admission, proposed a timeline for withdrawal?
From barackobama.com: "Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months. Obama will make it clear that we will not build any permanent bases in Iraq. He will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats; if al Qaeda attempts to build a base within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere in the region to carry out targeted strikes on al Qaeda."
Sounds reasonable to me; at this point it's not as though we can go back 5 years and pretend the war never happened.
One general rebuttal to the rest of your almost incoherent response is this; to compare the situation in Iraq with either Kosovo or Darfur reflects a total lack of historical understanding. Those situations are completely different from the one in Iraq. Do some research and educate yourself before you open your mouth and spew forth this rancid idiocy.
As for your other baseless accusation--"Obama will be the president who probably wont [sic] get us out of Iraq" what are you basing this on? Further, which candidate WOULD get us of Iraq, if not Obama? McCain? Please.
In the future, if you're going to clog up the comments with non sequitur and ad hominem attacks, try to do so at least with some elementary knowledge of English.- LukasSmith, on 04/19/2008, -5/+1I said no real timetable. I meant as in able to be accomplished. like fantasy rather then realistic. 16 months of withdrawal will end the second genocide or internal war begins. A internal war by the way that we can't ignore because the neighbors WILL react. Educate yourself on history and realize that world war 1 was started by a tiny event in Serbia that only was a starting point for the fomentation a problem that was already there. Nationalism. The problem in the Middle East is religious intolerance. These different branches of religion have been fighting each other for a thousand years and more. They continue to be hostile to each other. The neighborhood is strategically and economically important to the US. Sorry we are not just going to ignore problems in the middle east. I compare Kosovo and Darfur to what could follow US departure from Iraq merely in the sense people died murdered en masse. I believe that will happen in Iraq. I believe the Shiite who by the way are the majority of Iraq's people and have most power in government will either A. Mistreat their new power B. Never gain acceptance from the other religious branches that exist in the country. This will lead to conflict and no doubt war. Thus leading to my conclusion that no presidential candidate will be able to untangle us from Iraq. I am a skeptic while you seem to have greater belief. This belief or skepticism alone cannot be a basis for proof. You merely cut and paste sentences from Obama's official site. As a skeptic I cannot believe it. The rest of what you provided was your opinion. As a skeptic I can't just buy that either. In any case I find your view of facts or cut and paste sentences from Obama's site as legitimately superior to my view of facts. You believe I should have faith. I believe you could use a good dose of skepticism. Perhaps my skeptical nature about politicians and politics holds me back from truth. But the reality is we wont know till 16 months after Obama is elected, if he is elected who is right.
- LukasSmith, on 04/19/2008, -24/+3blah blah blah. you had nothing even remotely intelligent to say. Sorry didn't even read it. Let me boil this down for you in an english you can understand " OBama won't get us out of Iraq." Anyone who believes so has no elementary knowledge of politics or reality. And just so you know I lived in Kosovo for a while so yes I have an understanding of what happened there. And yes the kind of genocide that happened there can happen in Iraq. And no American president would allow that. Even your hippie dreammachine Obama. So ***** you.
- petrodollar, on 04/19/2008, -1/+5"And yes the kind of genocide that happened there can happen in Iraq. And no American president would allow that."

- petrodollar, on 04/19/2008, -3/+2You still haven't answered my question. Why should I or anyone else give a ***** about moslems killing each other in Iraq? It wasn't a problem in the 1980s when Iraqis and Iranians were slaughtering each other, was it?
Moslems are crazy. They talk crazy and they do crazy *****. Let them shoot each other in the streets. Stop telling me I should care. I don't.
You're the liberal, *****. You're the one spouting the "never again" nonsense. ***** you. You go and be everyone's white knight. I can't wait for the middle east to blow itself up.

- MrTulip, on 04/19/2008, -0/+1newsflash: it's already happening and the politics of a certain american president actually made it possible.
- petrodollar, on 04/19/2008, -1/+5"And yes the kind of genocide that happened there can happen in Iraq. And no American president would allow that."
- LukasSmith, on 04/19/2008, -17/+2Not that I feel I should have to explain in great detail but I lived there for 2 years because my father worked for dyncorp in Pristina on a peacekeeping mission.
- MrTulip, on 04/19/2008, -0/+1oh wow, dyncorp.
"What's more, Kathryn Bolkovac, a United Nations International Police Force monitor, filed a lawsuit in Britain in 2001 against DynCorp for firing her after she reported that Dyncorp police trainers in Bosnia were paying for prostitutes and participating in sex trafficking. Many of the Dyncorp employees were forced to resign under suspicion of illegal activity. But none were prosecuted, since they enjoy immunity from prosecution in Bosnia.
Earlier that year Ben Johnston, a DynCorp aircraft mechanic for Apache and Blackhawk helicopters in Kosovo, filed a lawsuit against his employer. The suit alleged that that in the latter part of 1999 Johnson "learned that employees and supervisors from DynCorp were engaging in perverse, illegal and inhumane behavior [and] were purchasing illegal weapons, women, forged passports and [participating in] other immoral acts."
- MrTulip, on 04/19/2008, -0/+1oh wow, dyncorp.
- kelalo, on 04/19/2008, -2/+11a) the genocide in Kosovo happened before NATO's intervention, not after. b) what is the basis for the genocide you foresee in Iraq, Nostradamus? How, in any way, is the pre-war situation (the Milosevic era) in Kosovo similar to the current situation in Iraq? Please: educate me with all your years of extensive experience in Kosovo.
- LukasSmith, on 04/19/2008, -16/+2Post war situation in Iraq is people of the same country who hate eachother not America. Which makes the possibility of Genocide great if we leave. Of course you with your limited knowlledge of history would blame this on Bush. But the reality is these people have always hated eachother. The only difference in Saddams time was the miniority sunni ruled everything. And if you had a problem with it you got dealt with. IF the people of Iraq resort to all out war or something we will have to intervene. So the troops return to an even worse situation then before. This religious battle in Iraq might then draw in the neighboring muslim countries who will pick sides. Who knows maybe even start a world war.
- petrodollar, on 04/19/2008, -1/+2"This religious battle in Iraq might then draw in the neighboring muslim countries who will pick sides."
Good.
"Who knows maybe even start a world war."
No, because non-moslems are smart enough to stay out of conflicts driven principally by hatred between various sects of mohammedism. - tharju, on 04/19/2008, -0/+1"Which makes the possibility of Genocide great if we leave" -- i think its already happening - credits to this administration..good job!
"Of course you with your limited knowledge of history would blame this on Bush." -- what we are looking for is accountability and responsibility ..is Bush our president who decided to invade Iraq to begin with? who else should i hold accountable for? oh yea Obama..right..
"IF the people of Iraq resort to all out war or something we will have to intervene" -- intervene?? why? that just nut.. do you consider yourself a god? while you are at it lets invade Sudan too...you know there is a real genocide going on over there.
"This religious battle in Iraq might then draw in the neighboring muslim countries who will pick sides. Who knows maybe even start a world war." -- in case you haven't notice yet..Saudi picks Sunni and Iran pick Shiite. Both are neighbor countries to Iraq. - LukasSmith, on 04/19/2008, -5/+1Well if you want to nitpick as far as I'm concerned congress has most responsibility. They funded this war. The democrats in congress had no real protest of the funding until a a couple of years later after most of them voted for it. Oddly they seem able to brush aside this responsibility they have in funding the war because the liberal media has totally discounted it and the public they target has little real understanding about how government works. Of course their argument is they believed Bush without demanding evidence. Something I find hard to believe considering the democrats hate of Bush even before Iraq was great. My other point is that in 1998 Clinton bombed Iraq a nation considered a threat since the gulf war. He called Iraq a threat possibly creating weapons of mass destruction. We know now all Saddam was making since gulf war were sling shots not WMD. Clinton blew up deserts with 0 weapons. So where is the criticism? Liberal media covers this up. I don't find it hard to believe that three years after Clinton bombed Iraq in 1998 that our intelligence agencies still blew asss and probably presented evidence any tense politician in tense times like after 911 might believe that led to our going into Iraq. I was talking larger region then just Iran and Saudi Arabia by the way. I was talking middle eastern wide war. Obama escapes my criticism only because he wasnt a senator at the time we went into Iraq. Would he have been swayed into voting for it. He can claim he wouldn't have but we will never know.
- petrodollar, on 04/20/2008, -1/+1"Clinton blew up deserts with 0 weapons. So where is the criticism?"
Clinton didn't cost us $3-4 trillion. That kind of money should buy us a hell of a lot more than 300k dead moslems.

- LukasSmith, on 04/19/2008, -18/+2And dont feel to smug kelalo. Your not in a unbiased freethinking article discussion group. Digg.com is infested with digg libbers. So don't imagine im not pleased by - diggs. I am. seriously. Every one makes me smile. Thats why personally I dont care squat about articles or digg comments because I know the dig libs are out in force to spam away and try to squelch different viewpoints. How sad really I think it is that digg libbers sit here typing articles to sort of pat themselves on the back and are so offended when a voice of dissent appears. I am the voice of dissent and will remain so. I can only thank God that Digg.com is not a true representation of America or that people who aren't libs realize there are better things to do then create 2000 diggs for Obama spam.
- smacksaw, on 04/19/2008, -1/+9Yeah...you're sort of going off. If I can play amateur psychologist, all of your responses are telling me that he really got to you on an emotional level.
That happens when people cannot reconcile contrary truths with strongly held emotional beliefs.
I could point out to you that Kosovo and Iraq are not the same place. I could point out to you that in the former Yugoslavia there was mixed opinion about the presence of the US, UN and/or NATO while all of Iraq and the Arab and Islamic world want the US and the coalition out. I could also point out you calling him smug is very hypocritical.
But you won't see it, will you? You're fuming at my response right now. But somehow, you understand deep down that our solution is Iraq is wrong. You just have yet to face that fact in your heart. - LukasSmith, on 04/19/2008, -11/+1Not. And yes he is smug. Digg.com is where libs go to masturbate each others egos. If you think free thought flows here your wrong. What flows here is only what libs and Obama spammers want which honestly makes this site kinda sad. Im glad its not a true representation of the US.
- kelalo, on 04/19/2008, -1/+4I have absolutely no problem with people holding different political views than my own--if we all had the same ideas and opinions, it'd be a pretty boring world. What I do have a problem with is your complete rejection of fact, your utter refusal to even listen to viewpoints other than your own, you complete ignorance of the fundamentals of English grammar, spelling, and syntax, and your unfettered antagonism of those of us attempting to hold legitimate discourse. Also, I'm female.
- LukasSmith, on 04/19/2008, -8/+1The fact is our viewpoints are so different there is no point debating. We can't agree with each other. Arguing the points is pointless because in the end neither will relent. I think the best people with strong belief in their opinion can do is allow others to express their opinion and just leave it at that. My grammar yesterday was horrible because I was writing 6 feet from my monitor with a wireless keyboard that kinda sucks. I am now typing on my laptop. So I can see clearly what I am typing. I find the grammar and spelling excuse as a very lame reason to totally discount another's views. But I can say clearly we disagree. I know your position now. I respect it. I will not argue with you on the subject because frankly there is little you could say to convince me that A. Iraq will not be a future problem if we withdraw or B. that Obama is not elevated as a human being or candidate way further then necessity or reality should allow. C. That the Obama propaganda articles are cool or great or something I look forward too. Ultimately only time will tell if you are right or I am right.

Actor 2: What change? Obama: believe in the change!
Actor 2:I'm sorry I just don't understand what change you bring that some other candidate can't offer.
OBama:Sorry this debate has no substance. I have to go submit this discussion on digg.com.- Risingashes, on 04/19/2008, -1/+9He wants to get rid of lobbyists from Washington- that's one substantial change in a few seconds of thinking about it.
How are you supposed to deal in the best interests of the country if you're indebted to lobbyists or corporations?
Should only those who can afford to bribe politicians be given eartime? Even take it down one step: Should those who can afford to bribe politicians be given more eartime than those who can't? Down one more: Should those who have connections and buy expensive seats at gatherings be given more eartime than they would otherwise even if those with more pressing issues or plans are given a larger chunk?
I'd hope that the answer to the three of the above is no, otherwise you're really misunderstanding the point of what a 'representative' is supposed to be. - smacksaw, on 04/19/2008, -2/+12Either you're a propagandist or you're dangerously uninformed. I challenge you to correct what you're saying if you have any sort of integrity as a human being. You can claim to care about the people of Kosovo, but you're talking out of both sides of your mouth and being a real piece of ***** of a human being.
You cannot claim to be a mouthpiece of decency for Kosovars and then be so ignorant about Obama. Even someone with minimal intelligence and skill at using the internet can go to his website and read his platform. For you to say what you have just said...if I were you, I would be embarrassed. You're making yourself look stupid.
You may not like Obama. That's your opinion. But you can't play loose with the facts when it would take less effort for you to know his platform than it would to shoot out 5 separate responses to the same well-reasoned post that smacked your loud ass down. You can debate him on the merits of his plan, but you can't lie about it, unless you want to look like a liar, a moron or both.
Take a break from posting, go educate yourself and come back when you've had time to absorb the facts and reconcile the truth and form a debatable opinion about it.

- pedromatos, on 04/19/2008, -3/+82The Clintons facing Fraud charges, hearing in a week and the media is not covering it.
The first lawsuit to haul a President and a Senator into Court for defrauding the Senator's largest donor as part of a conspiracy to illegally win and keep a US Senate seat will begin discovery in May, 2008 as it proceeds to trial as confirmed by the California Supreme Court.
The discovery will expose an ongoing cover-up of the campaign finance crimes and the obstructions of justice directed by Hillary Clinton with the help of Bill Clinton and former DNC Chair Ed Rendell. The cover-up rivals Watergate in its corruption of each branch of government and the media.

Many people already talking to meet in court that morning around 8AM that Friday to support Peter Paul and get it out in the media incase they wont cover it.- buhbyebot, on 04/19/2008, -1/+10They really used Stan Lee and Peter Paul. Well, they just use and abuse everyone. It's terrible what they did to Peter Paul.
- Railz, on 04/19/2008, -1/+13Good. I hope they kick her out of my State's Senate seat.
- mcnasby, on 04/19/2008, -1/+8I also hate Clinton and agree that the media has been ignoring this case, however, it has been an ongoing issue with Lee/Paul/Clinton for years now.
- deanlowe, on 04/19/2008, -2/+5Why do you suppose the media doesn't cover this? I mean they cover everything each campaign throws out there why not this? The Obama pushed the photo of Bill and Rev Wright, why not even hint at this one? I don't even see this mentioned on most Liberal blogs.

There will be time enough to get the muck-rake out during the General, when they can do their bit to ensure the GOP's hijackers get into power.

PA for Obama!- EtherGnat, on 04/19/2008, -6/+1That would be incredible, but I don't see it happening. I predict Hillary will win by 12 points or so. It won't be enough to make any difference, but it'll be enough to keep the shrew in the race.
- EtherGnat, on 04/19/2008, -1/+2Wow, why all the negative diggage? I'm just being realistic. We've seen the same phenomenon in every state Hillary has been favored to win. Hillary starts out with a big lead in the polls, which narrows as the vote gets closer. By the day of the vote Obama has almost caught up or surpassed Hillary in the polls, but Hillary wins by a significantly larger margin than the polls suggest. If you average the major polls right now Hillary is winning by 5.7%. Add 5 or 6% to that and you're in the range I talked about. From what I've heard SurveyUSA polls have been most accurate so far this year, and they have Hillary winning by 14% currently.
I'll be ecstatic if I'm wrong, but based on previous history I find it highly unlikely Obama will take PA. Don't shoot the messenger.

- jbenson2, on 04/19/2008, -2/+1All Clinton needs is a win in Pennsylvania to continue her campaign to Denver. With the millions of dollars the O-man is spending on advertising, I'm feeling pretty good about that. Operation Chaos has succeeded.

We will make sure that it can defend itself from any ttack, whether it comes from as close as Gaza or as far as Tehran." How is that different from the views espoused by our current emperor?
- Risingashes, on 04/19/2008, -2/+10The guy in charge now attacked a sovereign country. Then again he had like a 70% approval rating at the time so the majority of Americans are equally to blame. But since I'm reasonable I have to admit that the media lied as much as the administration, and the public simply couldn't imagine how bad the media had actually gotten.
What was the question? Why is Obama better than the current administration? How about because he wants to end the war? Offering to defend another sovereign country if it is attacked is a great policy to follow. If only Russia, France and Germany committed to defending Iraq if anyone attacked it the world wouldn't be where it is right now. Mutually assured destruction- the only path to world peace. - Caeili, on 04/19/2008, -8/+2They don't care. They are mindless drones that will eat his ***** regardless.

- whorunbartertwn, on 04/19/2008, -1/+0She'll likely win, but by way less than it appeared a month ago. I don't believe she'll win by enough to gain any momentum into Indiana or NC, but unfortunately the win will again blunt the calls for her to drop out of the race.
- thanakar, on 04/19/2008, -1/+1If the ***** of a debate is enough for Hillary to win then Obama doesn't deserve to win. I make it a point of not watching debates since most of them are biased anyways with the media picking the candidates who get the most airtime.

As an international citizen, this is the 1st time in my 30 odd years I have seen my natiob take such an interest.

- govsucks, on 04/19/2008, -16/+8The same Philadelphia with a black mayor and black police chief along with one of the highest murder rates in the US? I would love to hear Obamas preacher explain why white people are to blame for this. I would like to ask Obama one question: Why is black on black crime so bad in a city run by blacks and what would you do to prevent this nation wide? If the word white even enters the reply, you know he's full of *****. Its just like Atlanta, the city is run by black folks, and we have horrible black on black crime...WTF? I moved out of the city to get away from it after being mugged three times. Although I have to say that Franklin is the best Mayor that Atlanta has had for some time, she has class unlike our last mayor. I just can't take my family into the city, odds are our car will be broken into or we will get mugged. I have no appreciation for that "culture"
- exgop, on 04/19/2008, -8/+6NO!!!!!!! You can't ask Obama any real questions you might get an answer you don't want to hear.

- johnpaul191, on 04/19/2008, -3/+1I realize you are being racist, but i will point out that the Mayor of Philadelphia (Mike Nutter) is a HUGE Clinton supporter (and has been for a long time). If you watched the debate this week, he was sitting next to Chelsea.
As far as Philadelphia's gun violence, our new Mayor has been in office just over 100 days. While he had been a member of city council, he was not the status quo candidate. he beat out 2 members of Congress for the position. He has a lot of plans that may take a little time to settle in. Almost all of Philadelphia is optimistic that he can fix some things like the shootings. I'm not even going to get into the causes of the violence (often drug related, and innocent bystanders get caught in the crossfire) and how it is a large complex issue. In that case we can easily blame the suburbs too. Lots of the drugs that come through the cities are heading into suburban schools. If they were not buying it, the market would dry up.
I'm going out on a limb here, but I think Mike Nutter will prove himself to be one of the best Mayors of Philadelphia in my lifetime. I really do.- govsucks, on 04/19/2008, -0/+11) Racist!? You need to pick up a dictionary your ignorant bastard. To be a racist I would have to believe that my race is better than others. I do not, for instance, Thomas Sowell happens to be a black man and is WAY smarter than I am. Prejudice? Perhaps, but prejudging situations keeps us alive. You would be neither stupid or wrong to prejudge that a lion will eat your ass, but you would be prejudice.
2) Gun Violence!?!? I didn't know guns killed people, I though a human had to actually pull the trigger, aside from the couple of times some dumb hicks coon dog fired a shotgun into him.
3) I married a Colombian woman who happens to be darker in skin than many "Afro-Americans" and had a child with her. Once again showing that I don't think any race is below my own.
I may think collectivism is pathetic and certain cultures are pathetic but I am no racist. I am a freedom loving individual and I don't like people like Obama that want to use force to make me do the things that THEY think are best.
I will give of my own free will with great generosity to my neighbor, but I will die and burn before I will allow someone to force me to do anything. That is one thing that just never seems to penetrate that thick neanderthal like skull that many leftists, democrats and socialists seem to have.

So much so, that I want to see them brought home safely and never sent to fight an ill-advised, ill-planned, and ill-executed war to make Big Oil even richer.
I feel that I and most other Americans are fundamentally decent, hard-working individuals who deserve a government and an economy that works for them and not the other way around..
Patriotism is not wearing a flag lapel pin or putting a sticker on your car. It's believing in and fighting for the principles this nation was founded on, helping out your fellow citizen, and always striving to improve yourself and your community. It's supporting the constitution and all the rights it grants for EVERYBODY--not just the ones we agree with--and holding our leaders' feet to the fire when they stray from that.
We as a nation have made some pretty awful decisions and major mistakes that are going to be very difficult to fix; but I know we're up to the task. It starts with some serious housecleaning up in D.C., and I'm confident this next election is gonna go a long way towards getting this country's policies moving in a much more positive direction.

- exgop, on 04/19/2008, -9/+2Lets see. McCain is going to lower taxes. Obama is going to raise taxes. McCain is a war hero Obama want to surrender to the Muslim. McCain is kinda liberal Obama is a wacky far left Kook fringe liberal. One more thing McCain loves his country Obama?
- jinsundo, on 04/19/2008, -9/+2Yesireeboboroony, let's let good ole Obama save everybody. This way we can continue to do nothing but buy our neat SUV's and watch Oprah.
- nette60, on 04/19/2008, -9/+3Hitler said the same thing.....Change and thats what they got....Gotta have some brains behind that teflon!....Keep drinking the koolaid- Obama owes favors to so many people he will leave the country just like his chiaago district,,slums and crime and dirty politics.....Yes we want change but for the better!
- SuckItUp, on 04/19/2008, -7/+2Who says those who frequent Digg are all atheist? You have made Obama your god... now bend over, it won't hurt much.

The O-man will find this out come the general election. He is toast. - SicKiller, on 04/19/2008, -2/+1New Obama Campaign Wear - Fight Back! http://www.tshirtinferno.com/node/47
- utsav007, on 04/19/2008, -1/+4The crowd was enormous, the setting beautiful, and the weather perfect. Awesome! Afterward many people walked home and as we passed through city hall, chants of O-Ba-Ma bounced off the walls of the interior courtyard. I got a distinct feeling that Nutter's supporters are now Obama's. Too bad Nutter endorsed Clinton - old political ties and 'duties' die hard I suppose.

- HiCaP, on 04/19/2008, -11/+1A vote for Barack Hussein Obama will be a vote for the end of this country as we know it.
- Haz3rd, on 04/19/2008, -2/+7Good, the country as I know it sucks. I want to live in a good country, somewhere I can be proud to say I live in, not a place I make plans to move out of ASAP.
But I guess the name just throws you off, huh? If his middle name is Hussein, he HAS to be a terrorist.- HiCaP, on 04/19/2008, -2/+1Well, if you can vote for someone as far left as this guy, then we all need to make plans to move out of ASAP.
- sitykat, on 04/19/2008, -2/+2Okay, let's be real. WTF does his name and people voting for him have to do with the end of the country? Your comment stinks of religious intolerance towards Muslims, and Obama isn't even a Muslim. Obama was is a Christian. I'm not claiming to love Islam, it has its issues, but hey guess what, the majority of muslims aren't terrorists. What kind of conspiracy theory garbage are you into? If you want to talk about "the end of this country as we know it" talk about McCain and how he wants to continue a war that has gone bad in so many ways; or talk about how McCain doesn't really understand much about the economy, as he's stated so himself several times. You're a joke man.

- TheSwashbuckler, on 04/19/2008, -7/+2OMG!!! THIS made the front page?
Next we'll see: Obama goes to the restroom, Obama fanboys anxiously await his return.- nutniqs, on 04/19/2008, -1/+1Is he back from the bathroom yet?
