" Got news for you. The war we are in is the UN's fault when they allowed the Jews to occupy 'their' land without fairly compensating the Arabs and others that lived there. Bush NEVER said the struggle would be easy or that it is over. Mission Accomplished was in regard to ridding the world of the BIGGEST environmental Criminal in HISTORY! The UN and Annan with the BRIBES to OUR ALLIES by the butcher Saddam, is the ONLY reason the UN whimped out. We should have ousted Saddam years earlier! Further, gas would be $10 if the axis of evil had their way and we would have had further attacks on OUR soil with STRENGTH and Resolve. On July 4th remember a VET so you can rant and rave your treason all you want! "

" Isn't it funny that someone who thinks he has "common sense" fails to show any when it comes to Bush and his mishandling of Iraq or the "war on terror". When you can't see a fool for what he is, you look through your rose colored glasses (especially if you watch FoxNews) and ignore the facts. Once you do this, you make up things and repeat them often enough until you convince others that they are the facts. Then you employ the Rove smear approach. However, this time liberals are standing up by ramming this mess back at those in charge, the Bush Republican Guard Party. Kind votes for Iraq funding because he wants to make certain he did his best to fully support our troops by not abandoning them. Its time to bring them home and require Iraqis to defend themselves. "

" Using wiseup's own words, then the biggest liar is Bush himself. He can't really tell when a mission is accomplished. He can't simply read a report informing him of an impending attack. Record oil profits with taxpayers money as well. Bush even promised to restore integrity to the White House. Another failed promise. Bush is a liar and bilked many Americans into believing him. I didn't and never will. I don't need to use CNN to see the truth; Bush's failures to act demonstrate he can't be trusted with the truth because he acts above the law. "

" endtosocialism - you have been to Iraq twice (are we to assume as part of the war?) and loved it? That is disturbing but you are free to your opinion. As for the "if you havent been there you dont have an opinion" tripe - this isnt a repressive dictatorship wherein everyone is entitled to agree with the leadership and dissenters dont exist. Remember, the current explanation for our presence in Iraq is to instill democracy and freedom (so the party line goes) - that applies here also. "

" Dear "anenedtosocialism" Bush is lowest class loser we've ever had in office and he will face War Criminal charges when he finally leaves office. Of course no one can stop you from fawning over such a failed man, that's why our troops are dying....for your right to support an idiot like Bush. "

" Obama would be judged a fool if he passed up the possibilty of having $300 million for the Campaign instead of $84 million. If the shoe was on the other foot we'd hear free market arguments, etc..... Obama is not using Taxpayer money like McCain will....I sense a lot of bitterness on the right. They've been exposed over the past 7 years as being absolutely liars and erroneous on all major issues facing the USA. Bush's ratings hover near the drinking age and 84% of Americans say we're on the wrong road. "

" You liberals on here never cease to amaze me. Its the same old rant every day with you; Iraq is an illeagal war, Bush is an idiot, Bush didn't stop hurricane Katrina, Bush is just lining the oil companies pockets, ect... As for the Iraq war, unless you've been there don't say anything. I've been fortunate enough to go twice and I loved it. Don't take too much stock in everything you see on CNN (the Communist News Network), who try to vilify the military and make it look like we're losing the war. As for Bush, you have to give him credit. As much as the left bashes him and resorts to name calling, you never see him stoop to that level and personally attack the liberals. That shows class which is lot more than most of you show. "

" blogger, just for the record. if something is the truth, it can't be called a smear. but as usual some have a hard time staying on subject. the subect, or editorial, was about Obama. and he is the same old same old politician, one will do or say whatever it takes to get votes. if this was editorial about McCain, i'd be saying he is the same old same old also. "

" More of the same old same old would be McCain (90 -100 % voting record in the Senate going along with Dear Leader). Pretty tough to tell them apart, in spite of the Tough Talk Express spin. As for smear merchants Common Sense, Karl Rove and Swift Boaters wrote the book and Rove continues to work his magic even though he isnt currently playing puppet master for Bush a la Charlie McCarthy. As for moving closer to the middle, at least he recognizes that one exists - that "the party" does not start and end with prostituting himself to the extreme right. "

" Ha ha! Yup, all you libs that think you have found your savior, just watch as Obama moves ever closer to the middle as the election approaches. Don't get too excited about him, as many people will start really thinking about their vote when push comes to shove, and your guy will probably end up back where he came from, in the senate. But then maybe he can build some sort of record that people can look at and actually have some idea what he might REALLY do if he were to become president, contrary to the present situation. Even if he were elected, he would need the support of the conservative dems and some republicans to get anything done. You look at him and the fireworks start going off, simply because he isn't a republican. How dumb can you be!? Hillary would have been better than him! "

Folks should write to the Wisconsin Democratic Party headquarters and lodge a strong protest! Kind no longer deserves Democratic support. "

" This paper's nitpicking at Obama while McCain gets a free pass is frustrating. We get these kinds of articles about Obama, but only articles about McCain's bowling scores and what TV programs he likes. It's fair to criticize Obama for this decision, but get over your schoolgirl crush on McCain. How about an exploration of his undeserved reputation as a campaign finance reformer when his campaign staff is made up of former lobbyists? "
blogger wrote on Jun 24, 2008 9:08 AM:
" It all boils down to what kind of non-taxpayer support you approve of. We are fixated on the totals - how many millions Obama will now have vs McCain. But as BGS pointed out it DOES make a difference that Obama can generate his money from a large number of contributers sending modest amounts, vs large corporation largess. Which is a more democratic (note: small d) process? Until public financing is the only legal way to fund campaigns (I can hear the special intersts and corporations complaining already) $$$ = free speech. Whose $ is the issue. "

If I were you, I'd keep my mouth shut about "smear." The only rules you Republiscums abide by are the ones you make up while ignoring all others including the Constitution... "

" Dear "Common Sense"....Moveon.org disbanded after Obama's suggestion that no "527's" be used on the "left". Keep up to speed. As for "rules"....you're not suggesting the Republicans are honorable rule followers, are you? Obama didn't break any rules....he simply changed his mind as the "terrain" changed. It's a sign of intelligence. Obama's campaign is being funded by millions of common folk giving donations averaging less than $100.00. He will not be beholden to major corporations. It's the kind of system many like. "

As for Obama, he's a democrat; therefore, we all know he is not required to abide by rules or promises he/they have made for themselves. This is nothing more than I would have expected. "
