For ONCE we agree YD..

i WONDER if she'll write a book like that fake rape victim in N.C.did...

At LEAST this one will be Charged with a Crime..

If she did all of the damage to herself that was apparent in her picture, she must really be a "sick" kid.

Big deal a 10 year old lied , call me when you want to talk about the terrorist-liars that are Obama supporters!
Hey Jim you need to find something that is important to you and make your stand known...I am wearing a political pin on my chest every day and yes it is tough out there but is this how we want things to be ? People so racially divided that they do not dare even talk politics?

RNC08, actually she is 20 years old according to media reports. However, if the media is lying she is quite "developed" physically for a 10 year old.

Captain_Jim, as you probably realize I am very much opposed to support for the "party" above consideration for the our national interest. That's why I don't belong to either party.

I have probably voted for an equal number of Republicans and Democrats and even a few independents.

Unfortunately or fortunately, I cannot vote for McCain after him selecting Palin. I have seen the personification of her in too many real life bad "movies." And further more I could not support any candidate with such little regard for education and or knowledge.

Let's keep the liying out of politics (sounds almost impossible) from all sides. We need the truth to correct our problems. Making up stories and lying hurts us all.

Cypro you are an older person does that include you too?
And isnt political science taught inschool??
Where are you living in a shell??
Maybe you are a psycologist??
Older people cant deal with opposing views is that you too???
Looks like you dont like everyone to have opinions if they oppose yours what are opinions but views of others??

Its called free speech!!

myfreespeech, interesting name that you have......thanks for bringing it to my attention that MSNBC is a democrat network.....they should label it so that we are all warned ahead of time.... a big scarlet letter on the screen and in the TV Guide would help!! You should probably also warn former Congressman Joe Scarborough so that he can quit and dissociate himself from the network.

Apparently your idea of freedom of speech as a right, applies only to you as your name "myfreespeech" seems to indicate.

Why are some partisan Republicans so afraid of anything that anyone says other their "party talking points?" Even when it doesn't conflict with their talking points they don't like it......are multiple viewpoints/ideas just too difficult for them to deal with? Maybe they are easily confused?

A partisan refers to a person that will vote for a particular party regardless of who their candidate is. I describe it as placing concern for their party ahead of their concern for their country/nation.

BTW, as far as disliking a candidate....I view it as a campaign to become President of the United States......I am not voting for a person to become my friend.

I am always suspect of candidates and their supporters who spend more time focusing on the opposing candidate than they do on developing and presenting their own plans for what they intend to do if elected. They should be able to win on the merits of THEIR case.

Trust? Get real!! You know as well as I do that until a candidate takes office they have very little inside information and have very little idea about what they can and/or can't do. Even Reagan couldn't do everything that he had promised.

So the presentation of their plans during the campaign is more of a general presentation of their political philosophy and abilities to develop, organize, and implement a plan. Look at their abilities and successes in those areas without regard for where they were demonstrated.

myfreespeech, no, it might surprise you, but I wouldn't look very closely at McCain's involvement in the Keating "5" scandal. Nor would I consider his extra marital affair before his marriage failed, or his poor performances as a pilot before he was shot down, or his providing information beyond name, rank, and serial number to the enemy while a POW, or his student performance at the Naval Academy, or his continual support of George W. and his policies, or his father's influence as an Admiral during his military career.

No, I am more interested in McCain's detailed plans and policies for the future. How much knowledge and intelligence does or she have? How will he deal with the various problems and situations of all types. How will he make decisions and who are the people that he will consult and have as supporters? How will he instill confidence in his leadership? Will he do something other than alienate or bully people? Is he statesman like and articulate when appearing on the world stage and addressing everyone across the world?

No, you must start living in the present and preparing for the future. Living in the past is not enough. To know and properly consult history is important, but to live in the past and not acknowledge that today's world is much different would be a big mistake.

If you ever went to college and have aged since you would know that what kids do in college is very different than what they do as adults later in life. That is why most of the protests, etc develop and are held on college campuses. Perhaps you never explored, read, or were influenced by people when you were a young person. If not, or if you never made any mistakes and hopefully learned from them, you are very unusual.

I am not asking you to select Obama as your "hero" or as your "personal friend." I am not even asking you to vote for him. It is your prerogative and right as an American to vote for who you want as the President of the U.S.

All I am suggesting is that you stop the attack politics which have become so characteristic during the past few elections. Look at the facts and pick the person that you think would do the best job and allow others to do the same without you trying to blur the issues. If a candidate's positions aren't clear, demand more details and if he or she fails to provide them, then vote for the candidate that does. If your candidate is strong and clear on the issues, he or she will probably be selected for the Presidency. If not, then perhaps he or she is not the best candidate. Do what you want, and allow others to do the same without your personal attacks.

"Idealism?" Yes I believe that it is a good thing.....it is part of what was responsible for the development and continuation of our nation.
