The only thing you know about Hispanic culture is what you read off a menu at the mexican restaurant you stopped by for a photo op on your way home to one of your 7 houses.  You are clueless.</description>

		<description>&quot;I&#039;ve been tested and I&#039;m going to test them.&quot;

Three points about this sentence: (1) When was McCain tested? 
(2) Who is &quot;them&quot;? (3) This man is unstable.  He will get us into another war!  Abort!  Abort!  Heaven help us.  Go Obama!</description>

		<description>Steve and EVERYONE ELSE IN AMERICA,

Making a statement like &quot;I&#039;m not going to be tested is with great certainty one of mte most quick ways to ensure that just the opposite happens. Has this NUT learned nothing from 9/11 NONE OF US HAD ANY IDEA THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN...we thought we were safe....I guess they showed us???? HOW CAN ANYONE in their RIGHT MIND make a statement like &quot;I will not be tested&quot; in the wake of September 11?</description>

		<description>Fact Check: Did Obama get second-most money from Freddie and Fannie?   
 
 The Statement: At a presidential debate Tuesday, October 7 in Nashville, Tennessee, Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain said Democratic opponent Sen. Barack Obama and other Democrats resisted regulating mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which ultimately collapsed and had to be taken over by the government. &quot;Meanwhile, they were getting all kinds of money in campaign contributions. Sen. Obama was the second-highest recipient of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac money in history — in history,&quot; he said.
Get the facts!
The Facts: Federal law forbids candidates from receiving money directly from companies. The nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics tracks donations from employees of various companies. The center&#039;s list of contributions from Fannie and Freddie employees places Obama second. Ahead of him is Sen. Chris Dodd, Democratic chairman of the Senate Banking Committee.
The total listed for Obama is $126,349 — a tiny fraction of the approximately $390 million his campaign has raised, according to the center. The list shows McCain has received a total of $21,550 from Fannie and Freddie employees. The list includes donations of at least $200 from those who receive paychecks from Fannie and Freddie. It also includes donations from political action committees — pooled contributions from employees.
The report spans from 1989-2008 — just a portion of the time since Fannie Mae went private in 1968 and Freddie Mac was created in 1970.
The New York Times has published a separate list looking at contributions from &quot;directors, officers, and lobbyists for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac&quot; for the 2008 campaign cycle. That list — using figures from the Federal Election Commission — shows McCain receiving $169,000, while Obama received only $16,000.
VERDICT: Misleading. No donations actually came from the companies. One method of measuring employee contributions does put Obama second overall, but another, for the current election cycle, shows McCain receiving significantly more.

		<description>Why do we pay taxes?

---Not to spread wealth (0 point, if you think it is to spread wealth)

---Not to give out welfare (0 point, if you think it is to give welfare)

---Not to support the poor (0 point, if you think it is to feed the poor)

To make our Government &quot;function&quot;.  As an example, the Republicans just waged 2 wars because they know the Government has our tax monies, and one of the functions of Government is to &quot;protect us.&quot;

Do you want Government to protect us? If your answer is YES, then vote to pay taxes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>Name one major executive decision McCain has made that would be the equivalent to that of a Commander in Chief?? He has NOT been tested and as Wesley Clarke so aptly stated flying a plane (and crashing a few) and being a POW does not qualify!! Honourable and tragic service but not involving any decisions. 

Where are the rest of McCain&#039;s military records. Only 60 out of 600 have been released!!</description>

		<description>McCain is NOT a natural Westerner.  He transplanted himself here to marry Cindy in 1980, and to have the wealth of her family to back him for political office.

And, in all the years that he&#039;s been representing Arizona, he hasn&#039;t done much to help us.  Arizona is a state that has lots of needs.  McCain has ignored us.  His only priorities seem to revolve around the next election.

Some of his worst offenses in terms of ignoring us is his lousy voting records as they relate to women, kids, and vets.  We have MANY veterans of military service who have been honorably discharged and who have needed McCain&#039;s help.  He has turned a deaf ear to them.  Those vets in Arizona  feel abandoned by McCain.</description>

		<description>Three GREAT things will happen on November 5th.
we will know Senator Obama has won..
Governor Palin will return to Alaska, hopefully never to be heard from again...
And we won&#039;t have to hear Senator McCain say &quot;MY FRIEND&quot; 40 times a day...It has become really annoying!!</description>

		<description>If you read his statement again, he said &quot;I&#039;m going to test them - they will not test me&quot;.  Doesn&#039;t that sound even more like George Bush?  Fight - FIght - FIgh!!  The ONLY LOGICAL candidate to keep us from engaging in unnecessary fights is Barack Obama!!</description>

		<description>I am just wondering, why is McCain all about war and defense when there are issues like Economy, Health, Educaton, e.t.c to take care of.

It is good to takecare of defense too but, I think it is better for the global villlage to build a global family of peace and not of war.</description>

		<description>Hey John,

I&#039;ve been to your state of Arizona.  The people are wonderful and It&#039;s a beautiful state,  but maybe you should see for yourself that maybe you should have asked for a few earmarks to help your teachers and the people who live there instead of asking to build a boxing ring.  Oh I&#039;m sorry that was not an earmark but a add on to a defense spending bill.
According to the people I talked to you haven&#039;t done Jack to help them.
There the lowest paid teachers and are not helped when they teach in the worst neighborhoods.  They live across the street from drug dealers, (I saw this first hand) and the police are so understaffed and don&#039;t have enough money to handle all the situations.  Though they are doing the best they can and are trying to make a difference.  Maybe you should help the people of your own state and not make empty promises to the country.</description>

		<description>Hawaii has a very large and active native culture, they are also Americans, and Obama lived and interacted in that enviroment of diversity most of his childhood...so excuse me if I have a hard time believing that Obama just doesn&#039;t understand native americans as well as *coff-coff * McCain.

BTW....&quot;our Hispanic culture&quot;,  pardon me?</description>

		<description>While the mob screams &quot;socialist&quot; at Sarah Palin rallies, we take note the increasing irrelevancy of McCain. This &quot;socialist&quot; label is simply the latest scare tactic of the Republican desperation machine. It&#039;s a powerful propaganda word, gets the low-info voters all riled up. Unfortunately for the Republicans, taxation does not equal socialism, and only fools will believe them.</description>

		<description>Uuuhhhmmm, don&#039;t look now but has John the Westerner managed to solve the immigration problem?  His positions have been rejected by his own partisans.  Too Mavericky maybe?   Hispanics are supporting...uuuhhhmmm...Obama.  

He was supposed to be interested in uniting people, now he is trying to mount sectional appeals.   

He was critical of robocalls and negative campaigning until he decided to use them.  

He was interested in reaching across the aisle, until he decided that democrats were dangerous socialists. 

This campaign has made history.  McCain is history.  Obama represents our future.</description>

the economy is tanking and you don&#039;t have a clue about what to do except tax cuts for the rich and your tried and failed trickle down economy.

Senator McCain, go out to your ranch and retire.</description>

		<description>This is funny, McCain has no idea what Albuquerque is like. The speach he gave makes it sound like everyone is living on a ranch and is worried about water and immigrants. I doubt he knows that Albuquerque sits on top of a giant underground lake and has no major fears of running out of water. He should stick to what he knows best, lies, deception and the promotion of fear. Vote for Obama/Biden in 08.</description>

		<description>Actually, the mountains in the background are called the Sandias - Indian for Watermelon Mountain - they change color with the sun setting in the west each evening (dark pink, orange). It&#039;s not in Mexico (as the photo caption states), it&#039;s in Albuquerque, NEW MEXICO. And we use real dollars here - not pesos!</description>

		<description>I have a question:

I see more and more posts everyday about Obama not being elgible to run for president because he supposedly is not a U.S. citizen because he was born in Kenya not Hawaii. Aside from the fact that Factcheck.org and other independant agencies have stated his Hawaiin birth certifiate is legit- wouldn&#039;t he still be a U.S. citizen, even if born outside of U.S. territory, since his mother was a U.S. citizen?

I know that if you are born on U.S. soil, whether your parents are citizens or not, you are considered a U.S. citizen. So wouldn&#039;t it make sense that the child of a U.S. citizen born in another country while their mother is vacationing would still be a citizen since their parents are?

Some one please clarify if you could. I think its a dead issue anyways since I believe he WAS born in Hawaii, but if my logic is correct then it wouldnt matter anyways.</description>

		<description>Senator McCain keep saying he has been tested, but on what?
he has been in a senator for eight years  side by side with 
President Bush and look at were we are. I have heard him
in the debates his speaches and he must not be able to hear
  because someone says onething and right behind their words say you said something all togather differant he did this allso to Brian Williams in an interview this makes him all so disrespectful
yes Senator John McCain has been tested and he has failed 
the test   let us bring honor back to America</description>

Senator McCain keepa impling that he knows this, he knows that, but fails to say what he knows, how he is going to do it, and basically says nothing.</description>

		<description>McCAIN says he knows about all our problems, he should he had a great deal to do with creating them! but he doesn&#039;t seem to be intelligent enough to explain to the American people how he is going to fix them. the only thing he talks about is higher taxes from the dems, and WAR,WAR,WAR. and added to all this he choses a VP candidate that is a JOKE to AMERICANS intelligence!
