The only change that John McCain represents is a change from Bush to more Bush.

Can't you come up with something better than the Democrat's tired, old talking points??

McCain and the RNC have more money on hand than Obama and the DNC. We've all heard the hosannas, all the money Obama's raising, whoa, it's really big, don't forget, here's a guy who promised to accept federal campaign, then when he saw his money coming in he bopped out, broke the promise, and we hear all these stories, Well, look what a great fundraiser this guy is. People love this guy, all the money, wow. Come to find out that Obama and the DNC have less money than McCain and the RNC. So Obama, running a campaign, spending too much money, failing to deliver the promised benefits, kind of like the Chicago Annenberg Challenge? Democrat social programs. One other thing, ladies and gentlemen. We keep hearing that Obama's primary qualification for running for president is his experience managing his campaign.

There's another factor about Sarah Palin that you have to remember. Daniel Henninger of the Wall Street Journal pointed this out today. The one thing that will never be said of Sarah Palin is that she's a victim. Hillary Clinton makes herself a victim and tries to play on that. Other women, a lot of liberal feminism is based on victimhood. A lot of liberalism period is based on victimhood. Sarah Palin does not go into victim mode. In fact, she doesn't complain. She just doesn't seem to complain. Yep. She fights back, is the point. She doesn't take it. I'll tell you what, as a mother with five kids, she's not going to sit here and watch those kids be destroyed by these little gnats in the media.

ROMNEY: Is a Supreme Court decision liberal or conservative that awards Guantanamo terrorists with constitutional rights? It's liberal! Is a government liberal or conservative that puts the interests of the teachers union ahead of the needs of our children? It's liberal. Is the Congress liberal or conservative that stops nuclear power plants and offshore drilling, making us more and more dependent on Middle Eastern tyrants? It's liberal! Is government spending putting aside inflation, liberal or conservative, if it doubles since 1980? It's liberal! We need change all right. Change from a liberal Washington to a conservative Washington.

Gloria Steinem in the LA Times has a column. In it she trashes the choice of Sarah because she says and Sarah it works as one name. We all know who we're talking about when we say Sarah. She trashes Sarah Palin because she's only got, what, one-tenth or something of the chromosomes of Hillary Clinton. And then, as a disqualifier of Sarah Palin, Gloria Steinem, who is now 74 years old, and if there is ever a woman who is out of touch and who no longer represents American women in much of anything, or a majority of American women, it's Gloria Steinem, and she says, look, proof that this is a bad pick is that Rush Limbaugh has been touting her all summer, which means that apparently they've got focus group data that says the mention of my name to feminist women just sends 'em through the roof.

Vote for McCain, I know I will now.

No more need to buy comedy albums or tickets to concerts. McCain trying to wear the mantle of change... is so durn funny that I laugh and laugh.
Unfort., the idiots might think it is true!!!!

Tell them long enough, and the masses will believe you.

Tell them you are not with BUsh, despite the photos and the handshakes and the endorsement, and they might think you are for change.

Funnier than... any comedian that I have seen in the past 40 years.

Democrats are the party of change: the present disasters are gop property.

Oh my!@1!!!!
