Is Our Children Learning?
Fully 78% of voters cite education as an important issue.

In the last Church Social I met a woman who said she wouldn't vote for Obama because his middle name is Hussein. I asked her what McCain's middle name is, she didn't know!

I sure hope McCain changes his mind about supporting torture. We imported all our best tricks from the Chinese after the Korean War - Lookee here!

Lookee here!

I am sure McCain has experienced it all and more during his own imprisonment and torture in the Hanoi Hilton.

Dang! When I first went there I got right there (first one is free??). This is the quote I was going for :SCOTT SHANE writes in the New York Times:The military trainers who came to Guantnamo Bay in December 2002 based an entire interrogation class on a chart showing the effects of "coercive management techniques" for possible use on prisoners, including "sleep deprivation," "prolonged constraint," and "exposure."What the trainers did not say, and may not have known, was that their chart had been copied verbatim from a 1957 Air Force study of Chinese Communist techniques used during the Korean War to obtain confessions, many of them false, from American prisoners<>.The recycled chart is the latest and most vivid evidence of the way Communist interrogation methods that the United States long described as torture became the basis for interrogations both by the military at the base at Guantnamo Bay, Cuba, and by the Central Intelligence Agency.Some methods were used against a small number of prisoners at Guantnamo before 2005, when Congress banned the use of coercion by the military. The C.I.A. is still authorized by President Bush to use a number of secret "alternative" interrogation methods.

I am sure McCain has experienced it all and more during his own imprisonment and torture in the Hanoi Hilton.

Yes! He even gave false confessions under torture( 1 ) - this would lead a person to wonder why he voted to kill the Senate's anti-torture bill( 2 ).

Ah so true! Maybe he is a flipper?

Looks like the expected smear-mail crusade against Obama is in full swing.

Read my lips, it's the ecnomics!

"I mean, these good folks are revolutionizing how businesses conduct their business. And, like them, I am very optimistic about our position in the world and about its influence on the United States. We're concerned about the short-term economic news, but long-term I'm optimistic. And so, I hope investors, you know -secondly, I hope investors hold investments for periods of time -that I've always found the best investments are those that you salt away based on economics."
Words of wisdom from George W. Bush (Austin, TX 01/04/2001)

ZZ - he said just about the same thing the other day - I sometimes wonder if he might not have one those pull-things on his back - pull it out, release and a string of pseudo-random phrases come out.

Are you talking about Bush or McCain?
In either case a string of pseudo-random phrases would make more sense!

According to the latest Zogby poll, 10% of Americans are giving President Bush's economic policy the thumbs up.

The other 90% are using a different finger.

Since both present presidential candidates are questioning trade policies, here is a word of wisdom from the present President:
"It's very important for folks to understand that when there's more trade, there's more commerce."

My friends, more commerce will solve all of our problems! Hey Lieberman, wonder what an Iranian looks like? Are them soonies or she-ites?

if you're voting for mccain, you're pretty much voting for his vp, he's so old he's gonna die in office.

He will most likely outlive many of the old pharts that vote for him!

That growth on his neck, eww - it wasn't there the first few times he ran for president. What is it? Alien parasite? remote control device?

McCains foreign policy seems to consist of insults and intimidations. He wants to kick the Russians out of the G8, and calls the Germans "creepy" for applauding Obama's speech in Berlin.

McCain: "Obama will raise your taxes, I won't."
