How much money did the campaigns raise in April, inquiring minds want to know.

~-~-~-~-~

No matter how anyone votes, the gay population will still be 5-10% of the population and they will be living among us as tax paying productive members of society.

No matter how anyone votes, abortion will still be available. The goal is to make it rare by sensibly teaching prevention along with morals.

No matter how anyone votes, prayer will still be said in school, especially before tests and sporting events.

No matter how anyone votes, the second amendment will still allow lawful gun ownership.

So this time, instead of voting against abortion and gay marriage, and for prayer and guns (those issues will never go away) -- vote for your wallet , vote for the economy, vote for the environment, vote for jobs.

Vote Democratic 2008 -- don't let the corporations and their Republican stooges win again.

Okay, how many of you out there read that sentence and thought to yourselves, "Uh oh!"

I expected the next sentence to read that McSame leapt over the podium and had to be restrained by the Secret Service from ripping that 14-year-old girl a new one!

So it's ok for McCain to be mad, and for him to say that voters are mad, (which in it's definition is incorrect, as being a term to describe rabid dogs), but it is a mortal sin of 'elitism' for Senator Obama to say that people are 'bitter'? 'Aahhh, the old double standard.

Are you taking notes Barack? If he goes there, hit him with this.

Does he get angry when more of our brave soldiers die protecting oil company profits and giving Halliburton (KDR) contracts? Does he get angry when the policies he supports are responsible for the greatest economic collapse in 50 years? Does he get angry that the country is mired in a rut, set up by lobbyists to enrich the elite?
Does he get angry that 40% of the country has no health care; and his healthcare plan will do nothing about it? Does he get angry when he confuses the Sunni with the Shiites?
No. He gets angry over nonsensical issues that won't matter to the American people.
By the way, where are your Health records? Since you use your wife's airplane, where are her tax returns?

"and you know something, the American people are angry too, and they’re not going to take it anymore, and that’s why they want change. And they’re mad, and they’ve lost their temper.”

umm... isn't that the same sentiment/idea behind Obama's bitter comments.

cuz, yeah.... i think it is.

When historians look back on the 2008 Obama-McCain race, I believe they will guffaw at how, amidst a crumbling economy, a failed war, a world food crisis, and declining American dollar and influence in the world, McCain tried to win the election by complaining about pork-barrel spending.

You are part of the problem in Washington and I hope that we can send you to the corner with all the other nuts.

Nice little jab at the twice elected President George W. Bush. Recall that this man defeated the best and brightest Democrats (I know, an oxymoron), Nobel prize winners, medal of honor/purple heart wearing candidates over two elections. Then Bush had to clean up Clinton's messes from talking to terroritsts all through his eight years in office. Isn't that what Obama wants to do, talk to terrorists? It worked so well with Bill, what could go wrong?

Pssst, McWorse, do you know about audio and video recording devices? I don't think his elevator is running all the way to the top. Definitely a weak presidential candidate.

I get mad as hell when guys like McCain pound the podium about "reform" and "campaign reform" and "the Washington lobby", when he was involved in "the Keating 5" and already got busted for manipulating the system for big business.

"After months of testimony revealed that all five senators acted improperly to differing degrees, the senators maintained they were following the status quo of campaign funding practices. In August 1991, the committee concluded that Cranston's, DeConcini's, and Riegle's conduct constituted substantial interference with the FHLBB's enforcement efforts and that they had interfered at the behest of Charles Keating. The Ethics Committee concluded that Glenn's and McCain's involvement in the scheme was minimal.[5] The committee recommended censure for Cranston and criticized the other four for "questionable conduct."" - Wiki

Its true, McCain doesn't care about our future. His Pastor told him, just start WWIII, blow everything up and God'll sort it out. Why doesn't the MSM show over and over and over the clips of McCain's pastor's radical extremist views?? This guy is truly nuts. And McCain says he's glad to have him at his side.

Question: has MSMBC turned off the comments this afternoon???

No comments posted yet on threads that were begun almost 5 hours ago!!!

I'm curious as to your motive (no disparagement intended):

* staff off today after pulling an all-nighter?

* posts getting too ugly?

* trying to help give time for tempers to cool?

Thanks!!!

Chuck,

I'm sorry this is off the subject. But speaking of being mad as hell, there is a rumor going around, and even suggestions by some of the posters, that Senator Obama is going to, or should, pay Hillary's campaign debt.

I could find no way to address this through his web-site, so here goes.

Barack, G-D knows I'm in your corner, but, I do not want so much as one red cent of my money to be spent on that spendthrift with 109 million dollars! I have been waiting to see who our nominee will be before making any further donations to the DNC.

Just as you refused to pay the street money in PA., and I fully agreed with your moral judgement in that case, I must insist on the same principle with regard to Clinton's debt.

Until I have assurance that this is the beginnings, as Chuck would put it, of an urban legend, I will be withholding my financial support to your campaign, as much as it will pain me to do so.

I am an Obama Supporter, but I have to admit, fully, that this message of McCain's is spot on target- I too am mad at Govt. Failures, BUT in particular I am Angry at the Republicans blocking good and decent Plans and Laws and Budgets because they would restrict the profits of a few of their biggest contributors and affect the possibilities of Lucrative jobs immediately after their term in Office. They also hinder the ability of certain offices to actually do their legal and Constitutionally Mandated jobs, things like packing the Justice department with Republican Operatives who looked away from voter fraud and found specious "evidence" against Democratic Nominees, let alone the whole torture fiasco, and ongoing Guantanamo Detentions, while other outright, visual and widespread fraud was occuring with the Republicans, Using a TOTALLY NON-ELECTIBLE individual, Unelectible because he is already compromised by other positions held and or owned, so that the Federal Elections Committee Cannot form a Quorum let alone get about the business of investigating the occurences of fraud and abuse of our electoral system that appear to be happening Now. Oh Yes, the Republicans like to say how little the Democrats in office, with their (bare) majority are able to do, with absolutely no mention of the fact that it has been them blocking legislation on many many topics. If some of the Investigations that have been blocked by the Republicans went forward we would see a large number of Republicans, in office and out, heading to court to defend themselves of various crimes...Mostly like steering money to themselves by steering it to friends who would hire them later...
I am afraid that the rest of McCain's message misses that point entirely and shows that he is amongst that upper class uber rich himself, detatched from all reality at Ground Level. A vote for McCain is a vote for the continuance of Bush's mad plans.....

Of course he doesn't mean we're bitter does he?

Sharonann toma, Baltimore, Maryland — Wed, 07 May 2008 21:31:37 GMT

This is why I believe McCain will win. He's honest and he's not afraid to compromise when the situation calls for it. Words are cheap, they always are, but actions speak louder, in fact he's the only person who cares enough to end the bickering. Clinton and Obama (by their actions, have no desire to compromise)--they are identical as far as policy is concerned and neither have ever crossed the aisle to bridge any impasse. They are "Shove it down your throat" liberals. Always have been and always will be. People want moderation--yes we want change, but not at any cost. Hillary believes she is entitled to the Presidency and Obama believes just saying or mouthing the words "change" is all that is needed. Both are wrong and we will see that in November.
