" Rossi was a real estate developer, how many houses does Rossi own? Does he have to ask his staff and get back to us? Grandpa McCain can't keep track of his houses, maybe it's a common trait among the republicans. Who is really the elitest? I'm planting a whole row of arugala in my garden just out of spite, besides I enjoy the color. "

" I'm not voting for Rossi or that "white haired dude". You can thank TDN Bad Boy for that. "

TDN Bad Boy wrote on Aug 22, 2008 11:00 AM:

" Both of you Liberals were brainwashed long before I ever entered the picture. But if you want to vote for a racist in Obama go ahead its your conscience not mine. I have never voted for a racist and I won't this time either. Sen McCain has the experience, and backbone to be the president. Rossi will make a great governor. We've had 30 years of Demoncrats in the mansion in Olympia and it is time to exterminate the rats. A vote for Dino is a vote for a better Washington. A vote for Sen. McCain is a vote to keep America strong and out of the hands of a Liberal Demoncrat racist who is intent on raising taxes for his social engineering agendas. "

" John Kerry has 14 houses! Is it against the law to own property and make sound investments? According you some radical communists it is. Jesse Jackson dosent even like Obama. BOOM OUTTA HERE! "

" It's been my experience in my life that the ones that scream racism the loudest are themselves the true racists. Your screams Bad Boy are deafening. "

TDN Bad Boy wrote on Aug 22, 2008 12:10 PM:

" Well let's see Duh, by your definition all the people who marched and protested the white supremist organization in Longview with me last spring are racists then? Then those in the Obama camp were racists a couple of months ago for calling Geraldine Ferraro, former Liberal Demoncrat VP candidate, racist? And all the people who criticize Rev. Wright are racist? And well let's see if a person says his grandmother was racist does that make him the racist in the family? Either way then by your definition or mine, Obama is a racist. Or is it just Republicans who point out that Obama supported a racist financially for several years, and listend to his racial rants and applauded them until Hillary's people exposed him in the election? Like I said you vote for your racist Liberal Demoncrat and I'll vote for the non-racist, most qualified candidate. Keeps my record of never having voted for a racist intact. "

DUH wrote on Aug 22, 2008 12:42 PM:

" By my definition? I don't remember giving any definition. You on the other hand are a different story. You think anybody that is not Republican is a racist. That alone makes you a racist. If believing in equal rights for all American citizens regardless of color or political leanings is being racist, well then I guess I fit that bill. At least I can keep an open mind. I don't think either party's candidate is worth a damn but I can guarantee you this, If all Republicans act the way you do... None of them will ever receive a vote from me. That's one. Keep up your hateful, name calling jibberish and I'm sure you'll lose more. "

" On this one I have to agree with DUH. If all republicans act and believe the same things that you do, then your party has lost my vote also. "

" Nothing wrong with owning 7 homes, just not knowing you own 7 homes and having to ask your staff, that's an out of touch elitest if I ever heard of one. He's supposed to be a maverick that relates to the ordnary man? Right. This is the George Bush not knowing what a grocery scanner is moment, McCain is a nitwit. "

DUH wrote on Aug 22, 2008 1:42 PM:

" I took part in that march last spring. That march was an effort to extinguish racism. What you are doing in your comments is nothing short of trying to ignite racism. "

" Bad Boys comments show how uneducated the right (or is it Reich?) has chosen to be. His mere lack of intelligence to go out and find the truth shows how asinine the Republicans are. He would have you believe that gas prices aren't nearing 4 dollars a gallon (More than twice what it was when Bush took office,) Unemployment is NOT on the rise, Foreclosures due to predatory lending aren't happening, and that the war in Iraq is going our way. IF you look through the smoke and mirrors you will see it's time for something different. Oh - and Kerry's not running for president - but if he was he would at least be intelligent enough to remember how many houses he owns. There are 2 sides to McCash - The angry guy, and the lost and confused guy. If it's not written down on paper in front of him, he does not know what to say. Just what we need - an angry old guy in his bathrobe shaking his cane in the white house. Not like Bush hasn't already made us the laughing stock of the world, crippled our economy, and driven the society to the brink of collapse. "

" I've got news for all of you. Anyone who believes that ANYONE running for president has the foggiest clue about the average American has another think coming. McCain has the proper experience compared to Obama. His integrity alone is very worthy indeed. As far as elitism goes, Obama owns a mansion worth 1.6 million that he got relative to his corrupt dealings with "brokers" that eventually may go to federal prison for racketeering. Obama will most likely come out clean, despite the pie on his fingers. I will be voting for TDN badboy's friend McCain. And his other friend Governor Gregoire (LOL). What?? You say??? No straight party ticket??? Nope, I just can't see bringing fascism to Washington State. "

" Cheney119 have you been smoking some of that arugala. It came out in the news yesterday that McCain actually owns 8 homes. So the press can't even get it right. I think you just envy anyone that has more than you. If you want to talk homes, Obama lives in a 4 million dollar mansion, and his brother in Kenya lives in a corrogated shack and makes a dollar a month. I thought that liberals were all compassionate etc, etc. How does Obama sleep at night knowing his immediate family lives in poverty, and he lives like a king?? If Obama was really compassionate, he would,(at tax payers expense of course), send a billion dollars in government aid to Kenya to take care of his family. It is the Liberal way!!
And oh by the way I saw a great Rossi bumper sticker......Vote for Dino Rossi, don't let Seattle STEAL the Election again. "

Cheney119 wrote on Aug 23, 2008 9:23 AM:

" I don't care if he owns 100 homes, the fact he doesn't even know says a lot. How many homes do you own DW, I'll bet even you know that right off the top of your head. Think of it has the McCain Housing Crisis. "

" Give up cheney, all you and people like you can do is be jealous of anyone that has more than you. I think now that Obama has picked one the most hateful liberals in congress as his running mate, McCain will win the election hands down. Even if McCain picked Daffy Duck for a running mate, McCain wins. And now that we've had a few years of Christine G. as gov., Dino Rossi will win in Washington state, (for the second time). And yes cheney I know how many homes I have, I think it's 3 or 4. "

Cheney119 wrote on Aug 23, 2008 11:15 AM:

" Good gravey talk about hateful what on earth are you conservatives so damn angry about? Prehaps it's the drubbing you'll be taking in November. The handwriting is on the wall just look at the number of republicans in congress not even seeking re-election or ones like Ted Stevens (under indictment). I think with Biden you are confusing hateful with truthful. I loved his line with Gulliani "A noun, a verb and 911" and the front runner became a laughing stock. Does that make you nervous because lampooning Grandpa McCain is way beyond too easy, his policies are a pathetic joke and agree with ratface 93% of the time. "

TDN Bad Boy wrote on Aug 23, 2008 11:16 AM:

" Well look at the Liberals comment of like a pack of rats. This is hilarious. Exactly what I expect for San Franciso North. Wow the Republicans are the reason for high gas prices? Well Da Tax Queen Gregoire has to answer for her gas tax increase. And Sen. McCain has done nicely in the polls with refusal by the Democrats to drill. Unemployment on the rise? Well follow the Demoncrats on oil drilling and watch it rise even further. And if the racist Obama wins, watch it double along with the interest rates after he raises taxes across the board. Slick Willie said he would tax the rich but go back and look who the 1992 tax increase (biggest in U.S. history) hit the hardest. The working people making between $30,000 and $60,000. And as for the mortgage problem, well I didn't exactly seeing the Demoncratic Congress doing anything to head it off. Only when Bush has pushed for support of Fannie May and Freddie Mac has Congress acted. But let's look at the racist Obama. He picks Missing Lobe Joe for a VP candidate. That's funny. Missing Lobe Joe said in campaign that Obama was the least qualified for all the Democratic candidates. That he didn't have the knowledge or expertise to be president. And in the past, Missing Lobe Joe has praised Sen. McCain endlessly. Well the only real truth we know about Missing Lobe Joe is that his brain doesn't even like his politics. I agree. "

DW wrote on Aug 23, 2008 2:27 PM:

" If Obama is really the Messiah, he should be 20 to 30 points ahead in the polls. Yet McCain is right there. As for calling McCain Grandpa, that just shows 1. How ignorant you are and, 2. How bigoted your thought process is. When was the last time you walked up to a veteran in their 70's or 80's and thanked them for their service, cheney119? If it wasn't for people like McCain and his families military service, you would be speaking German, or wearing a lamp shade for a hat. But I'm sure the granola crunching, criticle mass bicycle crowd would walk off a cliff if Obama said walk. I do have one more question though, can anyone tell me what Obama stands for besides "change", what kind of change?? "

Real American wrote on Aug 23, 2008 3:58 PM:

" Well "DW", the -change- is what will be left in your pocket after the taxes increase. Don't worry though. The media will help the Obamessiah by keeping bad news out of the limelight. Liberals will "FEEEEEL" better because the media (i.e. - ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and NPR) will tell them so. Example- the news media parrots the word recession. Many people accept this as fact. The truth is we have not had a true recession in this administration. But wait, Brian Williams (NBC) said that were in a recession so it must be true. It must be Bush's fault because my local union hall says so. If all news is bad, then wow, things are bad. It is sad that there are so many sheep in democrat clothes that cannot engage in individual critical thought. "

cheney119 wrote on Aug 23, 2008 4:19 PM:

" Tax increase for those making $250,000 or more a year, Gee aint' that tough? Even McCain didn't support the Bush tax cuts, you liar. Same with SSIC why should I pay 7.7% on everthing I make up to $110K and anybody making over $110K get off with nothing above $110K? SSIC (social secutity is just a tax plain and simple. I don't care about money I just want some fairness between rich and poor, and no more republican lies. You can only tell when a republican is lieing when their lips are moving. "

DW wrote on Aug 23, 2008 4:59 PM:

" It is going to be a hoot watching the Obama/Biden hate campagne begin. Biden has given Obama's detractors enough ammo to keep the radio talk shows buzzing with glee. I wonder how Obama's poor family, that lives in a corrogated shack in Kenya, feel about the Messiah. I think we are going to see the democratic party have some very severe growing pains. Go Hillary!! "

Real American wrote on Aug 23, 2008 5:42 PM:

" Re-cheney119; What your really asking for is socialism. Have's and have not's will still be divided in that system as well. If your angry that you have not made your millions, don't be jealous. Go and make it yourself. Show some self respect and stop looking for a hand out via everyone else’s tax money through the government. Your quote-unquote facts don't work either. This proposed increase will hit today's middle class. I am not upset that you would call me a liar. I am merely a man voicing an opinion as you are voicing too. Just don't let emotion get in the way of logic. Besides, if your so certain that Obamessiah will win, why then all the anger and stridency from you and others on the left? There is only 4 months left until Obamessiah is sworn in to bring peace and harmony to this country and the world. (The storm clouds part....) "

TDN Bad Boy wrote on Aug 23, 2008 6:46 PM:

" Anyone who believes Cheney's rant about Obama tax increase hitting only people making $250,000 should travel back in time to 1992. In the 1992 election campaign Slick "little" Willie Clinton promised tax increases for those making more than $100,000. Well, in reality to Clinton $31,000 equaled $100,000 becaue that was the level his tax increase dropped to. Does anybody believe a tax and spend Liberal is telling the truth when their lips move about tax increase? Obama plans the most massive socialist spending programs since the Carter Administration and those of us who survived that distaster remember just how bad the economy got with double-digit inflation, interest rates, and unemployment. Obama = Carter. And by the way, who creates more jobs and spends more on the economy, a person making $250,000 and above or a person making $30,000 and below? So when Liberals talk about taxing the rich what they are saying is forget the economy and employment because those two take the brunt of a tax increase. Bush came in on a tax cut promise and delivered, and for 7 years the economy flourished and people bought homes because he kept the interest rate down under 6 percent. Then the Demoncratic Congress plays partisanship politics ruining the budget. So here we go with Obama and Front Lobe Joe Biden. There isn't a healthy brain between the two. And what about change? Obama said he would change insider Washington politics. So he picks 30-year anti-American Biden? Change we don't need. "

" Real American... You said, "if your so certain that Obamessiah will win, why then all the anger and stridency from you and others on the left?" I don't see anywhere in any comments being made by Obama supporters the amount of hate, anger, and immature name calling that is present in the comments by McCain supporters. Obamessiah? Whats that? Calling Democrats and people that are going to vote Democrat racists? Whats that? Looks to me that you Republican supporters are the ones running scared. You have been since the primaries showed Democrats getting more votes than Republicans. Go ahead with your hate filled, name calling campaign. It only hurts your party's chances in November. I see from an earlier post by berryjewels that you have lost their vote also. Hey you guys, keep up the good work! "

CHENEY119 wrote on Aug 23, 2008 7:08 PM:

" Call it what you wish, it's called a progressive income tax like this country has always had. I guess we've always been socialist. Why should I believe anything you say when you don't know that. If you're doing so great why live in a town like Longview, you should move to Malibu and hobnob with the hoypoloy, right ha ha ha! "
