Who Loves Bush?
Would a Former POW Lie?
Of course he would. It’s what Republicans do when they desperately want to win and they’ve got nothing else to run on.
Social Security – Don’t Lose It!
Make no mistake. Social Security is on the line in this election. The Republicans, including John McCain, want to destroy Social Security as we know it, even though this system has served us well over the past 73 years.
In honor of the 73rd anniversary of Social Security, the Democratic Party presents this video.
Alan Colmes Shows His Stuff
Stands up against Sean Hannity who excuses McCain’s affair and abandonment of his first wife.
The Way the Wind Blows
Thomas Friedman catches the essential hypocrisy of John McCain when it comes to alternative energy. McCain talks a good talk about supporting the development of wind and solar technologies, but when it comes to his own job as a Senator, he can’t be bothered to vote on bills essential for clean energy development.
Senator McCain did not show up for the crucial vote on July 30, and the renewable energy bill was defeated for the eighth time. In fact, John McCain has a perfect record on this renewable energy legislation. He has missed all eight votes over the last year

Which Is It?
A Good Question
From Cenk Uygur at Huffington Post:
Now, we get to the most relevant question – if John Edwards’ political career is done, why isn’t John McCain’s? John McCain had a well-documented affair on his first wife, with his current wife. He has admitted in the books he has written about his life that he ran around with several different women while still married to his first wife. And don’t forget that he left her for a younger, richer woman – multi-millionaire Cindy Hensley who is now Cindy McCain – after she had been severely hurt in a car accident.
So, why are McCain’s actions any more excusable than Edwards’? Because it was thirty years ago? Does that wash it away? Will we be fine with Edwards running for office again in a couple of years because then it will all be in the past? What is the statute of limitations on an affair?
