So, McGramps was against a &quot;FAIR LIVING WAGE&quot; 19 times before he was out voted and now that Americans have a &quot;LIVING WAGE&quot;, fair or not, he&#039;s for it? 

He&#039;s only FOR something when he can&#039;t manage to be AGAINST it and win.

		<description>According to Marilyn Vos Savant in the generic Sunday magazine Parade, statistics show that the majority of minimum wage jobs are not in small businesses but large hotel, restaurant and retail chains. 
So much for the GOP  argument that raising the minimum wage hurts small businesses.</description>

		<description>Tom....EXACTLY RIGHT!! Stay on message..the truth comes out, sooner, I hope, rather than later. These idiots will be exposed for what they really are. I hope people are all paying attention, and they&#039;re not blinded by the flip flopping old man and the ex beauty queen...This is comparing apples to oranges.I wish for 2 things: that the media would do their jobs and expose these farces for what they really are, and that people like us, no matter what their party, get SO sick of the sh&amp;%, that they work VERY hard to get Obama/Biden elected and restore some sense of honor and decency to America.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not a violent person, but really want to punch something right now.

Barack Obama voted to raise taxes on those making as little as $42K (even though the vote wouldn&#039;t have actually raised taxes).

Barack Obama voted against funding the troops (as if McCain hadn&#039;t)

Barack Obama voted in favor of the Cheney Energy bill.

Never did he mention the bureaucracy that damns legislation.  Not one time did he point to the difficulty in the decisions made more difficult by wasteful spending.  Now he wants you to understand the nuances involved in politics.</description>

Last week he had only Democrats on the show.

In the first five minutes they aired part of the Katie Couric interview with Mcsame and a McSame ad against Obama. Sorry, doesn&#039;t equal up. If McSame had to pay for all the free ads the Corpo-Feudalist Media have given him &quot;reporting&quot; on his campaign, he&#039;d have already burned through his Public Matching Funds and be broke.

I will give Stephanopoulous credit, though, he never let Lindsey back on after he started with Kerry and I was sure he would.</description>

You are absolutely right!  He was drawing full pay, including flight pay and a housing allowance.  Hell, he was making more than most of the troops than were fighting to save his dumb incompetent traitorous ass.</description>

		<description>Why they must keep exposing McCain&#039;s lies (it&#039;s working):

&lt;strong&gt;Obama campaign buoyed by convention&lt;/strong&gt;

DENVER -- Amy Pearl is the sort of Democrat who made the Barack Obama campaign nervous. A volunteer who ran Hillary Rodham Clinton&#039;s Palo Alto campaign office during the primary season, she had doubted Obama&#039;s experience and arrived at the Democratic convention here unsure how she would vote in November.

&lt;strong&gt;She left town Friday with her mind made up: She is for Obama.&lt;/strong&gt;

Republican John McCain seemed eager to peel off aggrieved Clinton supporters with his choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. But various women&#039;s groups and Clinton loyalists said Friday that the Palin pick wouldn&#039;t spur defections.

&quot;Gov. Palin and John McCain are a good match because they both want to overturn Roe v. Wade, they both want to continue the failed economic policies of the Bush administration, and they both offer more of the same,&quot; said Ellen Malcolm, president of EMILY&#039;s List, which works to elect female Democratic candidates and endorsed Clinton in the primaries.

By the convention&#039;s end, the Gallup daily tracking poll showed Obama had taken a race that was dead even and built an &lt;strong&gt;8-point lead&lt;/strong&gt;. The margin could grow when the polling data account for everyone who saw the speech.

<p><strong>Obama campaign buoyed by convention</strong></p>
<p>DENVER &#8212; Amy Pearl is the sort of Democrat who made the Barack Obama campaign nervous. A volunteer who ran Hillary Rodham Clinton&#8217;s Palo Alto campaign office during the primary season, she had doubted Obama&#8217;s experience and arrived at the Democratic convention here unsure how she would vote in November.</p>
<p><strong>She left town Friday with her mind made up: She is for Obama.</strong></p>
<p>Republican John McCain seemed eager to peel off aggrieved Clinton supporters with his choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. But various women&#8217;s groups and Clinton loyalists said Friday that the Palin pick wouldn&#8217;t spur defections.</p>
<p>&#8220;Gov. Palin and John McCain are a good match because they both want to overturn Roe v. Wade, they both want to continue the failed economic policies of the Bush administration, and they both offer more of the same,&#8221; said Ellen Malcolm, president of EMILY&#8217;s List, which works to elect female Democratic candidates and endorsed Clinton in the primaries.</p>
<p>By the convention&#8217;s end, the Gallup daily tracking poll showed Obama had taken a race that was dead even and built an <strong>8-point lead</strong>. The margin could grow when the polling data account for everyone who saw the speech.</p>

		<description>McCain can&#039;t tell the truth.  

Since we know the MSM won&#039;t call him on his lies, I hope the Obama&#039;Biden ticket continues to expose them.  After all, it isn&#039;t the messenger who is negative, but the messages of McCain that are negative.</description>

		<description>So, I am now watching local coverage in Minneapolis about the coming RNC funeral -- er, convention.

A republican talking head is responding to a question about energy policy.  He reaches in to his pocket and pulls out a tire gauge and says the republicans have a comprehensive energy policy while Obama says &quot;inflate your tires&quot;.

I seem to recall Obama setting an aggressive challenge in his acceptance speech for the U.S. to become energy-independent in ten years.  This yahoo on TV right now brings an image to mind.  Go back to 1960 and imagine the republican response to Kennedy&#039;s emphasis on improving science education.  

Here would be the &lt;em&gt;today&#039;s&lt;/em&gt; republican response: &quot;We have a comprehensive approach to science education.  We believe that creationism should be taught in our schools.  Kennedy just wants us to put a man on the moon in ten years.&quot;</description>

When he brags, exaggerates, and lies he will be challenged!! (I HOPE?)

Not on Fox News and not by the “liberal” media. They are to busy getting the message out to be afraid of the celebrity black man.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Everyone acts like this game has started......Obama has just barely begun to send out his message through adds.  This is going to be good when it does start...right after the republican convention I am thinking.</description>
