cuz69, with or without McCain, there is still congress and senate. Saying that McCain equals Bush is clearly saying that republicans are republicans. If Obama is to be successful, his only chance is going for the political issues and political direction. Therefore "change" is what he needs to...

Debates is more about experience and speeches more about charisma as well as a gift of gab. Obama and Palin do great speeches. Biden has the experience for debate. McCain is rather moot on both. USA needs to rise taxes, especially corporate taxes, it's insane to think differently - you...

Jayford, don't worry - McCain is not going to last - a hockey-mom MILF will make sure he will be the one lying on his back soon enough. :D

Well, it's not easy to disprove creationism - when it's constantly evolved into including whatever is discovered in Universe. That is the philosophical "intelligent design" creationism... The biblical creationism is total bullshit of course, and everyone sane do know this. She will no doubt...

Yes, she is very conservative and anti-abortion - but I was thinking about the fact that she is a woman - and how that will be a factor for some traditionalist ultra-conservatives. :) Just like Biden stumbles in his public speeches, Palin has a very good grip on her words. With total frontal...

Hehe, USA's first MILF in office (though five kids is a lot of space)? She is truly a heartbeat away from being president, and she will probably be wearing outfits and perfume to heighten John McCain's blood pressure, get his pump running a little... Like he likes to say - the VP just hangs...

Hehe, well - just like Joe Biden was a terrible pick and a terrible speaker - Sarah Palin is an excellent, really excellent speaker... She had McCain really sporting a worried face and must be thought of as "Mrs. Integrity" standing up to the "Good 'Ole Boys Club" - up until she started...

I think McCain and his campaign have done a great trick. With regards to the persona voters are facing to choose from now, it all gets much more complex and intricate. It is no longer a focus on issues, but much more a focus on the persons... and McCain sort of emulated the strength of the Obama...

Uhm, just a comment that I should have made earlier... Besides the similarity to existentialism, there is also the similarity to Leibniz' monads - monism. Monism is the metaphysical and theological view that all is one, that all reality is subsumed under the most fundamental category of...

One would hope US voters vote because of the political issues, and not because of who the face of those political choices are... A bit of a long shot these days when celebrity status in the media has exploded as it has especially for the last 25 years. :p

We could all save a lot of money, time and resources by moving from politicians and into a e-democracy properly structured to let us vote and entrust votes with anyone we chose on specific topics. With all the technology available to us today - do we really need manual labour like news...

If China recognized South Ossetia and Abkhazia, it would look rather silly with regards to Taiwan, Tibet etc... :D

Nah, old news... Besides CNN wrote "The UN fears civilian casualties in NATO strike." It was just the rest of the world that reacted, and we're all used to it by now. The campaign in Afghanistan will surely be a resounding success story, and the template for how to invade a country in the...

hapaboy, I agree. FOX would gladly show off any crazy conspiracy theorist - because that paints all arguments about anyone/corporations trying to influence news media as stark raving bonkers madmen. By the way here is Rupert Murdoch saying that he uses his influence to support Bush views...

Interestingly, Vladimir Putin also notes the fortunate coincidence of the Georgia conflict to an ailing McCain campaign. There is no doubt there were some very interesting and realistic geopolitical rewards easily identifiable prior to the Georgia conflict. A republican election push was just...

I remember brazilian analysts and banco central representatives saying they were seeing the BRL below 1.70 towards the end of the year. There has been a lot of foreign investors who pulled out of the BM&F and Bovespa this year, and there was also a large exodus last summer. However, the...

McCain will reach out to Obama's brother - offering to adopt him. This time he will be the one who surprises Cindy, the sincere soft-hearted coot that he is... Just hope Obama's brother doesn't see the tazer that McCain is hiding under his jacket, coz he really wants that boy. Centre...

Well, there is no doubt that other networks like CNN has followed suit and adopted some of the tactics explored by FOX News and which proved successful for FOX. When it comes to the economy, it's almost always "upbeat reports" from the market snapshot commentators. The connotations used are...

For those interested - the "Hacking Democracy" documentary is also on Google video - 82 mins. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4463776866669054201 About the documentary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacking_Democracy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Box_Voting It is really...

Sure, small government - but in a democracy, you can't reduce the population. Therefore there needs to be good mechanisms in place to protect the democratic institution. Just like doctors and other professionals are wooed by suppliers, organizations etc - politicians are wooed and sometimes...
