More than 1.1 million dollars donated to the John McCain campaign by Big Oil! Does that finally tell you who benefits if the offshore drilling promoted by McCain and Gov. Charlie Crist becomes a reality? Don't get it yet?

Then maybe the record $482 billion deficit being left by Bush (does not include costs of the act of aggression in Iraq) will get your attention. These corporatists are not "fiscally responsible." They have darned near bankrupted the country, and that means you and me, the ones stuck with no money for essential services will have the honor of trying to survive.

Barack Obama has just returned from an amazing trip to Afghanistan, Iraq, Germany, France, Israel and England. Some of these countries have long since ceased to be "friends" of the United States, but all greeted Obama warmly. If you watched his meetings with the troops, you saw genuine smiles on all their faces, not the stiff looks that greeted McCain or Bush on their last visits. Does the U.S. need the return of friendship and support from countries around the world? Folks, we are up to our necks in two "wars," darn near bankrupt and at the mercy of worldwide creditors. Without the return of support from new and former allies, we are lost.

McCain's campaign gets nastier day by day, to the point that he has now fundamentally accused Obama of sedition. What you hear on the news is that people still don't know Obama, but do we know McCain? From his own party: Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., said: "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine." Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., in an interview with Newsweek in 2000 said, "I decided I didn't want this guy anywhere near a trigger."

This from the guys who know him best. He is famous for his nasty temper and foul mouth and, as far as his intelligence goes, he graduated 894th out of 899 graduates. If daddy and grandpa were not admirals, he would never have made the rank of captain ...

everyone knows who John McCain is:sarcasm: I am so sick of this shit about everyone knows who he is I know who he is and what I know I don't like. They try to pretend as though this whole country knows who he is there is a new generation of people who don't know who he is and don't give a damn...
