My uncle lives in Italy quite comfortably. He maintains a house in Tuscany and Phoenix. The major expenditure - healthcare - isn't an issue for him as an Italian citizen.

If it's Romney, Biden will have a blast comparing his Iraq-bound son to Romney's five mommy's boys.

McCain needs to be tested for Alzheimer's. Seriously.

I know very well who he is. He's also the former head of the DNC. And if people in Pennsylvania are stupid, don't blame him.

Ed Rendall is one of the biggest and unabashed Hillary backers on the face of the earth. He's still po'd over her loss and makes no attempt to hide it. I wonder how much THAT plays in his statement? Duh,

I guess since she met her husband while he was still married to someone else and they carried on an illicit affair whist he was still married to someone else she figures he could well do it again ....

And if John Kerry had made this gaffe regarding houses purchased mostly with HIS rich wife money you wingnuts would have been delirious with joy. But he didn't. So either McCain is rich and out out touch, like his party's leader (New Orleans under water? just jump in the Land Rover and head for the country home) ... or he's senile. Take your pick.

Many of you are missing the point, "white" will be almost impossible to define at that point.... Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, then we can focus on other stuff that matters like what Britney's up to.

An article I read this morning quoted an aide or someone purporting to be close to Powell as saying Powell is "looking for a reason to vote for McCain". Interesting.

Well then it's no wonder that the Powell camp is contradicting the story, isn't it? Hence the headline that Power is endorsing Obama is technically, probably, incorrect. I myself see it as an improbable occurrence. For Powell to endorse Obama is to repudiate much that he himself has "stood for" if you will in terms of his support of the GOP and its policies. If McCain was some sort of loose cannon I could see Powell breaking with the party but McCain is no more or less a nutjob than the rest of them. Powell would have to be very convincing and apolitical (almost impossible in politics) in making such a break because the GOP smear machine would just turn around and swift boat him.

I think those people liked Hillary more - I couldn't say because I am not old enough to have been a hippie. Jarhead

Actually READING the ARTICLE, Powell's camp is denying this to be the case. In any event if it is true, what will be interesting are his reasons.

Yet that's exactly what you're doing. When WE do it, it's good. When someone ELSE does it, it's bad. With Iraq, it was arguably in our interests to invade (according to wingnuts). With Georgia, it's not in the US's interests to have Russia invade...Russia as the invader believes otherwise. "Circular thinking" is not a bad thing if it means the ability to turn things around and look at it from different perspectives. You don't have to AGREE that Russia did the right thing. But you can certainly understand their rationale. Given that the US "had its reasons" and Russia "had its reasons" ... invasion is invasion. None of it's good no matter WHO does it. And if you can't then you do your fellow wingnuts a great disservice, reinforcing the stereotype (hmm is it a stereotype if it's true) that wingnuts are narrow-minded, warmongering, knee-jerk reacting Neanderthals who don't give a rat's ass about humanity until something bad happens to THEM.

HEY! DON'T FORGET ABOUT POLAND! YOU FORGOT ABOUT POLAND!

Thanks for proving my point - judging him on his appearance, eh? I don't know about the teleprompter, please share with the board the facts around Obama's never being able to give a speech without one. But it is fun what one learns here. SD Marine is bald and since you object to Obama's appearance you must be old and ugly. But thanks again for proving me right, it must means SO much to me to be validated by narrow-minded neocon pinheads.

Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili on Wednesday called for John McCain and other American leaders to do more for Georgia in their response to the conflict in his country. “Yesterday, I heard Sen. McCain say, ‘We are all Georgians now,’” Saakashvili said on CNN’s American Morning. “Well, very nice, you know, very cheering for us to hear that, but OK, it’s time to pass from this. From words to deeds.” McCain told a crowd in Pennsylvania yesterday that he had called Saakashvili to express solidarity with the people of Georgia, saying: “Today, we are all Georgians.” McCain’s foreign policy adviser Randy Scheunemann told reporters on the campaign plane Tuesday that McCain’s remark “obviously meant a lot to Saakashvili personally, but more importantly the message it conveyed to the Georgian people in this really, time of unprecedented national emergency.” Scheunemann said McCain and Saakashvili are friends who have speaking daily throughout the crisis. cnn.com

And if McCain had a solid platform to stand on, he wouldn't feel the need to take this route. In fact it speaks volumes that he's not running on his record.

Hot chicks digged Bubba too and it didn't hurt him at all...till he got caught with one. Eat your hearts out.

First, he's not boycotting because he's not President. If he actually ATTENDED then you wingnuts would be screaming that he has some freakin nerve acting like he was already elected...like you did when he was in Germany. If all you can find to nitpick him on is crap like this then it's no wonder that this country worships ciphers like Paris Hilton and elects morons like George Bush...preoccupation with stuff that doesn't matter, may not happen and is not important at this point in time .... while the big stuff goes unnoticed. My grandmother would have called it "not seeing the forest for all the trees".

Speaking of cops - did you see the Iron Pig who shot the Hell's Angel in Sturgis last week? Hoo boy. The circumstances are unclear but it really doesn't matter because once you hurt a Hell's Angel, it's war. Yikes.

Read past headlines? Since when are headlines facts? About three pages ago it seems someone was being crucified for claiming that much of the world was against the US invasion of Iraq....you could garner that from their headlines (fact? or not fact?) and the UN vote (irrelevant, right?) Perhaps the problem we have here is that people read ONLY headlines.

You much mistake the matter if you think I support ANY INVASION by any country of any other country. So, it seems that the Russians are far far worse than that evil tyrant Saddam. Human rights issues, you say? Then why do not WE, the almighty United States, in turn invade Russia? We need to bring freedom and democracy to those downtrodden Russians and free the helpless Georgians.

I believe is was the conservatives who stated that "the UN is irrelevant" when the UN objected to the proposed US invasion? So why cite it NOW?!

America the Annointed, is that it? Read much history?

Now THERE's a well thought-out and articulate response. Characteristic of you of course. Poor, poor wingnut. If it's not black and white the exploding head comes into play. KaBOOM! And then we lash out. And how typical once more that you use the label of handicapped person to denigrate people with whom you disagree. You some something against retarded people? It's not their fault. What about people with CP? MD? Cystis fibrosis? Do people in wheelchairs also disgust you? What about amputees - lord knows your President's helped create a whole bunch of them. Cancer patients? Lepers? A sovereign nation invades a sovereign nation. The invader thinks they're right. The invadee tends to disagree. The invader has what they think are good reasons to invade. The invadee begs to differ.
