http://soundoff.com Just another WordPress weblog Tue, 28 Oct 2008 00:35:32 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en There was a time when I really admired John McCain. I distinctly remember him standing up to the "swiftboaters," telling President Bush that they were way out of line, and that Bush should direct his supporters to stop these attacks. Of course Mr. Bush did not do so, in my ... http://soundoff.com/archives/26 I watched Colin Powell endorse Barak Obama Sunday morning, and I actually cried. After so many weeks of listening to the same old vile attacks by the Republican outrage machine, I had actually given up completely on the idea that a Republican could show even the slightest signs of decency, ... http://soundoff.com/archives/25 I listened to the talking heads after last night's final presidential debate. I was stunned by their comments. Many of them indicated that Obama seemed off, disengaged. They also uniformly felt that McCain seemed to be the aggressor, and gushed that it was his best performance and finest moment. What ... http://soundoff.com/archives/24 Just when you think it cannot get any worse, the McCain campaign comes through and leads the way to new lows. One thing is sure. Sarah Palin, who should not be too cocky about her role in national politics, based on her recent performances in giving interviews and in the debate. None the less, ... http://soundoff.com/archives/22 I listen to all the Repulican talking heads complimenting Ms. Palin on doing such a great job in the Vice-Presidential debate, and I wonder why they lie to themselves. They couldn't be serious... Sure she is perky, charming, very photogenic (even beautiful), but if she were to be required to assume the ... http://soundoff.com/archives/21 I'm just wondering, shy does Sarah Palin get a free pass? All of the other candidates for president (admittedly, she was not among them) had been on the road for weeks, if not months. They had participated in town hall meeting, dabates and given countless interviews. Mrs. Palin has not. ... http://soundoff.com/archives/20 The Republicans always seem to believe that THEY have a lock on patriotism. They seem to equate the concept with sending their children off to war, or in volunteering for other types  of service to the nation. But they are NOT the only ones whose loved ones step to volunteer for the military ... http://soundoff.com/archives/19 For 26 years John McCain has ALWAYS stood for less regulation. Yesterday, he was against supporting AIG, but today did an about face and supported it. Today, he embraced regulation of the corruption on Wall Street...for the FISRT TIME, but he offered no plan or specifics. First of all, I'm not ... http://soundoff.com/archives/18 John McCain may think the economy is fundamentally strong, but most Americans do not. Millions of families are losing their homes, major investment banks are imploding, Fanny and Freddie have essentially been nationalized, jobs are disappearing, gasoline is still over $4 per gallon and our health care system is broken.
