		<description>There’s a big. . . no, sorry, HUGE difference between “Iran is training Al Qaeda” or “cooperating with Al Qaeda” and “Iran is a big country with a very porous border, unfortunately located between Afghanistan/Pakistan and Iraq. In fact, no one can travel on the ground from Taliban/Al Qaeda country to Iraq without passing through Iran.”

Until the US can guarantee that no Central American can ever cross into the US, they have no &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/dell/latitude-x300.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;dell latitude x300 battery&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.batterylaptoppower.com/dell/inspiron-1300.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;dell inspiron 1300 battery&lt;/a&gt; place criticizing Iran for allowing guerillas to transit their country.</description>

		<description>I support the Dems, but there is evidence of Iranian involvement in training Sunnis.  There was an old NYT article, see link, and doesn&#039;t Iran support Hammas which is Sunni?  Where are the reports that says Iran doesn&#039;t support Sunnis?  We should not fall prey to the same type of echo chamber crap that the repugs do.</description>

		<description>Dobbs: &lt;i&gt;&quot;McCain is guilty of gross over-simplification on an extremely sensitive national security matter.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Of course McCain is over-simplifying. 

He is pandering to the overly simple minded lot that are the hard-core Bush loyalists and supporters. Those people &lt;i&gt;need&lt;/i&gt; to fear something or someone. 

And it is just &lt;i&gt;so&lt;/i&gt; easy to fear someone with a lot of facial hair who speaks funny...</description>

		<description>If the contest for the White House followed the rules of &quot;Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,&quot; John McCain would be going home empty-handed. At last four times in the past month, George W. Bush&#039;s would-be Republican successor sounded the alarm over a non-existent Al Qaeda-Iran alliance in Iraq. But for a lifeline from Joe Lieberman, McCain would have been booted off the stage by now.

		<description>McCain seems like he is going to try to run a clean campaign. He may simplicate, but he doesn’t - so far, I know - seem likely to go for cheap shots against his opponents.


McCain is very good at the usual GOP tactic of sacrificing troops and still getting his filth out. Obama will take a tamporary hit from inderpendents, but very few Americans are interested in McCain as another failed Bush-lite. This will be the death march of the GOP, and we will be cheering all the way. The dirtier mcStain gets, the more lies he tells, the mnore ignorance he shows, the more disgusted the people will get with the failures-that-be. McLiar will be lucky to take Arizona.</description>

Keltoi , WOW, thanks.
Hillary is toast and knows the only way to win is to go against the will of the people. The people have had enough of this bull and all this makes her look very ugly.&lt;/em&gt;

I would &lt;strong&gt;HATE&lt;/strong&gt; to be Howard Dean right now.  Personally, I think the Preachergate thing is utter BS, but Obama is wounded, time will tell how much.  And Hillary&#039;s only hope at this point is an insider coup d&#039;etat.  Obama&#039;s association with Wright hurts him most among independents, a group you need and a group McCain does very well with.  Fasten your seatbelts, the next 7 months are going to be a ride.

Have a great day, all.</description>

I’ll believe it when I see McCain step up to the plate and criticize his aid for doing what he did. Just allowing this person to leave his campaign is not running a clean campaign. Unless he says something about his minions doing the dirty, he is tacitly agreeing to the behavior.&lt;/em&gt;

Well, canned is canned...I am not sure what Obama said about Powers after she resigned, or Hillary vis Ferraro, but actions speak louder than words.

A Obama-McCain match up has the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;potential&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; to be a pretty elevated campaign...it is the attack of the surrogates I worry about.</description>

I am not a math wiz, and if I am wrong please correct me, but my math is telling me Hillary needs 76%, not 65% as I heard on the news of the remaining delegates to win or reach the 2025 mark. According to my math, Obama needs to win 56% of the remaining delegates.&lt;/em&gt;

Check this thing out, it is a really cool Delegate Counter which allows you to plug in what you think the results of future primaries will be and what that would mean to the count.

But the upshot? Hillary is toast without the Superdelegates ignoring what is basically an insurmountable Obama lead in the Pledged.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;McCain seems like he is going to try to run a clean campaign. He may simplicate, but he doesn’t - so far, I know - seem likely to go for cheap shots against his opponents.&lt;/em&gt;

I&#039;ll believe it when I see McCain step up to the plate and criticize his aid for doing what he did.  Just allowing this person to leave his campaign is not running a clean campaign.  Unless he says something about his minions doing the dirty, he is tacitly agreeing to the behavior.</description>

I agree -- I haven&#039;t heard any smears toward either of the Democratic candidates coming directly from the McCain camp, either.  Let&#039;s hope this continues after both conventions are over.</description>

		<description>I have no real objection to advertising that only says positive things about the product being advertised.  For example, when McDonald&#039;s advertises their Big Mac, they conveniently leave out the part about how they taste bland and are mostly bread.  While it doesn&#039;t show the whole picture, we as a society have come to accept advertising of any sort for what it is -- propaganda.

I do have a problem when advertising makes blatantly false claims and information that directly refutes those claims is deliberately covered up.  An example of this might be a cigarette ad in the 1960&#039;s that says smoking their product is perfectly safe, when the tobacco company running the ad already has information that smoking can kill you.

So on which side of the fence does McCain&#039;s &quot;Fact Check Sheet&quot; fall?  I find it hard to believe that the McCain camp would be aware of only part of Odierno&#039;s statement.  Assuming they were aware of the whole statement and just cherry-picked the words they could spin to their advantage, their &quot;Fact Check Sheet&quot; doesn&#039;t have much to do with actual facts.</description>
