1. People think he'll "protect" them

I don't think the unpopulariity of the war and Bush are as much of a millstone around his neck as most here seem to.

2. 10 billion a month, that is some damn protection payment! Heh?

3. That's accurate

I don't understand people who condemn the Bush Years but are willing to consider someone who applauded every bonehead move Bush made.

6. It's not rational. Millions of people who believe...

the same things that you and I believe (Bush sucks and the war sucks) will nonetheless troop to the polls in November and vote for more of the same. I've been telling people this for months. Presidential elections are not like senate or house races where bread and butter "issues" usually take precedence. Prez elections are about image and mythology. McCain is very strong on both.

7. I don't think it's hopeless though

I mean look at the turn out in the two primaries - people kind of know, even if they pretend not to.

8. It's not - but merely thinking that Bush's unpopularity and the war's

unpopularity will win it for the Dems is wrong. If that were the case McCain would be stuck at 35% and either HRC or BO would wipe the floor with him.

10. Sorry but the economy and the occupations (plural) cannot be separated.

four of his senior aides had worked for EADS, the European aerospace group, in its successful bid for a $35bn (€22.5bn, £17.2bn) contract to build refuelling tanker aircraft for the US air force.

18. Sonofabitch!

"The lavishly-furnished custom Boeing 727 airliner (727PX) which ferried Senator John McCain on four occasions during his Presidential run in 2000 also flew Saudi Royals out of the U.S. right after 9/11, carrying an entourage of Saudi Royals from Las Vegas to London six days after the 9/11 attack in a controversial operation later scrutinized by the 9/11 Commission."
