Operation Chaos + Bittergate + Pastorgate + Snipergate + Ayersgate = President John McCain.

Barack Obama's hopes fade in blue-collar ghost towns

typically

[outofstyle]

The town's Democrat chief executive, Ralph Imbrogno, said: "The 'bitter' thing will hurt Obama - although it didn't bother me. I want to know how their programmes are going to better Americans' lives."

No one wants to know "how their programs are going to allow Americans to better their own lives."

Operation Chaos + Bittergate + Pastorgate + Snipergate + Ayersgate = President John McCain.

Agreed.

Now, if McCain could agree to a Contract With America 2008, with generally conservative principles, we could clean house (and Senate) of the stench of corrupt democrats.

One cant happen to wonder where we would be at now if the Democrats had stuck to the traditional primary calendar of years past. Well done Howard Dean!

Refresh my mind — What’s Snipergate?

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
I AM THE ONE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Oh, I got it — the Bosnia/Hillary thing....

[ExSafecracker]

I hope no police-persons or firefighters or innocent bystanders are hurt during this summers DEMOCRAT convention, this is going to be fun to watch!!

[edpc]

In Clairton, a once-thriving community, where The Deer Hunter was filmed in the mid-1970s......

Apparently, Obama is not aware that "this is this" in that part of the country.

If you are waiting on the government for that Ralphie, you have a long wait. These people are pathetic. Keep voting for Democrats.

It's Hillary's tale about ducking sniper bullets in Bosnia :-p

good evening by the way Silvie

No,no, their programs are going to embitter Americans.

You're just bitter............. How do you type when you've got a gun in one hand and a bible in the other. /s :-p

Actually, there is a little savvy underneath this...the 'true party faithful' got their marching orders from Harrisburg...from Rendell and then down the line. Rendell 'delivers' the much needed PA for Hillary...a President Hillary takes care of PA. Oh, and Fast Eddie gets a really sweet appointment or judgeship. The dead will early and often on Tuesday...

You have to really wonder about these people. Things have been going in the crapper for 30 years there without the government fixing it. And still they think that this time will be different.

Same mentality as a person with a spouse that has been cheating on them for 30 years. One has to experience a "willing suspension of disbelief" to entertain the notion that the government is going to [be able] fix their problems now.
