Lisa, here is a must-read on Obama’s Iran flip-flop:

Okay - I see he was an attorney representing ACORN in vote fraud lawsuit.

Lisa - I’m curious why your Dem Sens for POTUS vote against exploration to lower our cost of gas. http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=65131

Centrist,
Again you are wrong. If you would read the article you site it says Obama worked as part of a team that represented ACORN in a lawsuit again the state of Illinois for failing to follow federal requirements making it easier for low income families to register to vote (most likely the motor voter law, but I do not know). They won. There is nothing in there about voter fraud.
It would be nice if all the other presidential candidates had done any work helping to register people to vote and get involved in our Democracy.

Okay, Jo, here is a local spin. The PD had an AP (not the PD DC Bureau as usual - really, what is it that they do besides have a stupid blog) piece this week. The Congress voted on a tax and energy package it is sending to the Senate. It includes requiring some corporations with offshore offices to pay more taxes. I have heard that Sen. McCaskill’s husband, Joe Shepard, has an offshore corporation to avoid U.S. taxes. Don’t know if that is true. Perhaps you know. It will be interesting to see if or how she votes on this legislation.

A few days ago, I contacted KTRS to find out what it would cost to run informational ads to counter the smoking ban ads now run during the baseball games. $700 for 30 seconds! That price is a bit steep for our grassroots organization. Does anyone know if any form of the “Fairness Doctrine” still exists to help bring balance to the air waves on this issue?

Tim - Your pointless left-wing yapping gives me a headache. Your party is about to nominate a man who makes Hillary Clinton, the archenemy of the last generation of Republicans, look like a moderate. The Democrats seem to believe that Hugo Chavez’s ideological soulmate is a viable candidate for POTUS.

You folks have spent too much time reading the Huffington Post, and not enough time talking to real people.

Bill - There is no fairness doctrine right now. But if you want it, vote Democrat - the only people who have proposed bringing it back in recent years are Dick Durbin and John Kerry. And believe me, they aren’t advocating it so you can run pro-smoking ads - they just want to make life difficult for Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.

Lisa, I found your answer. I was watching Fox News tonight and they reported, unlike the PD that doesn’t have a DC staff, that Sen. McCain had his own version of the GI bill but Sen. Reid refused to allow it to come on the floor for a vote. He was against the Webb version because it gave college benefits after only one tour and he thought that it should be longer because of the expense involved in training troups and of course the shortage of troups while we are in a crisis. Also, Webb’s version did not allow the benefits to transfer to a spouse or child if the soldier did not intend to use the college benefits and he thought they should transfer.
Unfortunately, the rest of the media in the tank for Obama failed to mention any of this.

Centrist,
25 Republicans (including Kit Bond!) voted FOR Senator’s Webb’s GI Bill. McCain is opposed because he thinks the bill is TOO GENEROUS. Ask the troops if they think the bill is too generous. Why does McCain hate the troops?
