We did not CARE about his trip overseas. He is not INTERESTING and ENGAGING like Obama. Why would crowds of (probably going to be thousands) come out to see an American man who is running for president? Because they CARE and they know Obama's presidency is a movement by the people. It's not marxism when the people protest and rebel. It's our wonderfull American right! &amp;nbsp;We are rebelling right now. We want a safe world so we can all live in peace. &lt;/p&gt;

Higher taxes big big big big government that will control everything thing we do, killing babies ( yes he backs partial birth abortion) guess if the head don't come out its ok thats sick. You work all your life and invest and he will double the tax on the profit you make. He has flipped on every issue and then lie's about it. He is not even black by the way.Wake up people and do you research you will find out how crazy he is. The drive by will not tell the truth left wings hacks all of them. I like my freedom and I don't need a hand out from anyone because I work hard and don't live above my means.&lt;/p&gt;

Fist Jab</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;McBush should be grateful that he's being ignored. He would be the laughing stock of the Republican Party if any news about him were to be brought to the surface. Oh? He already is the laughing stock? Well, there you go....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To &amp;quot;Justchad&amp;quot;, you're welcome to contribute all your money to &amp;quot;big big big&amp;quot; oil, bail out the &amp;quot;big big big&amp;quot; banking system with your taxes, watch cookie cutter talking points instead of news on the &amp;quot;big big big&amp;quot; media conglomerates, allow &amp;quot;big big big&amp;quot; government to suck your pockets dry and hand the contents over to &amp;quot;big big big&amp;quot; business while they avoid paying taxes to our country (can you say, offshore tax havens for Halliburton (Cheney's people) and other megacorps?) so you have to pay even more.... You know that's just the beginning of the list. Four More Years! Yeah. McBush for President of the Isolated United Oligarchy of America.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm glad you live within your means. I guess the rest of us are just whiners.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Where can I get some of that Koolaid? Sounds pretty potent!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why would you support the very people who have always turned around and stomped on you? What is the appeal? They don't even give you a &amp;quot;safe word&amp;quot; for when things get a bit too painful- they just keep sucking your brains and eyeballs out so you can't recognize them for what they are!&lt;/p&gt;

Here's what we got from the last &amp;quot;experienced&amp;quot; Republican. &amp;nbsp;Our economy is a wreck, our houses are going down in value, we are in the middle of a horrible mortgage crisis, most of the country is experiencing $4+ a gallon gasoline, we are involved in two wars, many people around &amp;nbsp;the world do not like Americans, some actually disrespects us, and there are those who absolutely hate us. And &amp;quot;justchad&amp;quot; wants to know how could anyone back Obama? Is he insane?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;NOW WHAT ARE THEY COMPLAINING ABOUT!! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What!! &amp;nbsp;You have got to be kidding me!! &amp;nbsp;McCain has no room to talk. &amp;nbsp;This must be a ploy by Camp McCain to play the Refs!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was McCain who complained that Senator Obama had 'no recent' Iraq trips under his belt. &amp;nbsp;Ironically, Obama the consummate gentleman and accommodator decided that after a long and historic primary battle with the Clinton's he would go to Iraq.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now Molasses McSame has a problem with Obama's trip to Iraq. &amp;nbsp;Is the world watching this?? &amp;nbsp;There is no satisfying these people!! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Barack cannot help it if he is a rock star that exudes hope, while McCain looks in the rear view mirror at his better days and struggles to remember his stump lines. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Message to Camp McCain, , , Senator Barack Obama is &amp;quot;The Chosen One&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;Get use to it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;GOD Bless America!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;GOD Bless Obama!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let me begin this way: Medical procedures are not the business of government to interfere in. &amp;nbsp;I don't know when &amp;quot;life&amp;quot; begins and NO ONE knows for certain when &amp;quot;life&amp;quot; begins. &amp;nbsp;Does it begin when a fetus can survive outside the mother's womb? &amp;nbsp;Does it begin at conception? &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If &amp;quot;life&amp;quot; begins at conception, then is God committing murder when a miscarriage happens? &amp;nbsp;I &amp;nbsp;don't think so. &amp;nbsp;Thus the question, when does life begin? &amp;nbsp;YOU don't know, I don't know ... only God knows ... and neither YOU nor I are God.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is a big difference between God's laws &amp;amp; Man's laws. &amp;nbsp;God gives us a free will to be right or wrong, why won't YOU?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, to begin with Partial Birth Abortion, a term the Republicans use. &amp;nbsp;Psst... it's medical term is third term termination of pregnancy due to gross abnormalities of the fetus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ya see, Justchad, women in their third term do NOT use abortion as a means of birth control. &amp;nbsp;Women whose fetus' either don't have a brain, or brain stem or maybe the fetus is rhesus positive and the mother is rhesus negative, which will result in a baby being born dead. &amp;nbsp;Don't get me wrong, in the first case (no brain) the fetus will be alive &amp;nbsp;so long as the fetus is connected to the umbilical cord. &amp;nbsp;No brains in a fetus are usually due to environmental conditions ie., pollutions in water, rat feces in water and/or food (primarily in the border states). &amp;nbsp;In the later situation, different rhesus, the baby usually dies in the womb 3 or 4 weeks before delivery so the mother is faced with having to carry a dead baby her last month until the body naturally expels the fetus from the womb. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other times, fetuses do not have certain organs to maintain life moments after birth. &amp;nbsp;Usually these abnormalities are not discovered until the late 2nd. term of early 3rd term of pregnancy. &amp;nbsp;The doctors give these women the news of their child's dire condition and the women has 2 choices. &amp;nbsp;1) Continue to carry the child knowing it will die at birth or will already be dead at birth. 2) Abort the pregnancy, clean the womb (D&amp;amp;C) and try again for a baby. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Justchad, If you were a women -- longing for her child -- and one of those issues faced you, what would you do? &amp;nbsp;And, would you want the government dictating YOUR ... YOUR ... morals? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As for the Obama's taxes ... you need to re-join the United States Of America and leave Hannity's America ... Obama is NOT for higher taxes unless you are in the top 1% ... ya know Millionaire. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BTW: &amp;nbsp;Carly Fiorina, John McCain's Top Advisor, said this week that John McCain was for raising taxes. &amp;nbsp;I don't know if she told him yet, but that is what she told a women's group. &amp;nbsp;She also said McCain was for Equal Pay for Women, again, something McCain is against - but she said he was for. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, back to rebutting your drivel, Rich people should pay more taxes, they have more to defend from an awful dictator invading our country. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You want to talk about FLIP/FLOPS. &amp;nbsp;I count 86 flip/flops from McCain. &amp;nbsp;Starting with his new rejection of his own BILLS! &amp;nbsp;McCain/Feingold &amp;amp; McCain/Kennedy ... the list goes on and on and is doubled daily .. sometimes hourly, like the number of US brigades in Afghanistan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You like to work hard? &amp;nbsp;So do ALL Americans. &amp;nbsp;McCain is a strong supporter of Free Trade, at the expense of the American worker.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;McCain answer on Free Trade that will NOT go over with American workers:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Q: Should trade agreements include provisions to address environmental concerns and to protect workers' rights? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A: No. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;[Source: National Political Awareness Test (NPAT) Nov 7, 2004]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Turn off your radio and do YOUR homework ...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;.... Nuff said. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
