What they don't understand is that most Americans, and especially the ones who actually vote, can't identify with the celebrity filled, idol worshiping, glitzy, hollywood production that was supposed to be the Dems Convention. The lemmings that follow their idols every breath, don't realize that all his promises he made in his glitzy speech are absolutely unattainable in the near future. Anybody with any brains realizes that no matter what he says, the money and the math just don't add up. Of yeah, and then there's the lies in his speech. He said that McCain is against equal pay for equal work which couldn't be further from the truth. McCain simply voted against an extension of the period that people have to sue over this matter. They already have 6 months. I guess lawyers, of which Bama is one, would be for this because it would give them more oppotunitys to pad their pockets. Obama should know what lawyers can do as that's how he got into the Illinois legislature. By sending a team of lawyers to disqualify the signatures on the election petitions of all the other people running against him until no one was left. Now that's what I call a stand up guy. I'd follow him over the cliff anytime. All these obamabotic haters just can't accept that McCain is dead even with Mr. Done Nothing in the polls.

They haven't recovered from Katrina - 3 years later, and there are still many people living in trailers (we're not talking double wide mobile homes), cars, tents, and 4X4 tool sheds. They may be physically safe, but they're going to come back to a mess - again. Flooding, more mold, more loss of personal belongings. I just got back from there a week ago. It's so disheartening to see the slow progress. I think all party politics should cease, and everyone should head down to the Gulf Coast.
