- Ed Tubbs

Palm Springs, CA

_

PS to any/all of Sunday's Stage 1 panel members who may read this: I'm the fellow, the one who identified himself as an army veteran from the 60s, the one who was sitting in the front row, the one who poetically concluded with "We're going to nail that crazy m**** f****r to the wall," and who received from those gathered a rather tumultuous applause.

_

The Voting Record:

_The Children's Defense Fund Action Council (a nonpartisan evaluator of congress), in 2007 gave McCain only a 10% rating, the very worst in the senate! Here's what he voted against:

_Increase funding for children with disabilities (S. Con. Res. 21)

_Protect children from unsafe medications (S. 1082)

_SCHIP Reauthorization (H.R. 976)

_College Cost Reduction and Access Act (H.R. 2669)

_SCHIP (H.R. 976 - motion to concur)

_DREAM Act (S. 2205)

_Funding child health and education (H.R. 3043)

_Improving Head Start programs (H.R. 1429)

An "Old Army Vet" and liberal, qua liberal, with a passion for open inquiry in a neverending quest for truth unpoisoned by religious superstitions. Per Voltaire: "He who can lead you to believe an absurdity can lead you to commit an atrocity."

SO McCAIN IS NOT HIS BROTHER'S KEEPER!

It isn't like his brother wasn't Abel. Let those who can for themselves

keep those who don't have from having. Sounds like a plan!

The Haves in corporate media will not tell their sheeple the fact that John

is no disciple of any one with the Enlightenment of Jesus, Buddha,

Mohammed, or even Cecil Bill.

Remember that Cecil Bill spoke Tooey language on the Kukla, Fran and

Oliver J. Dragon show.

Cecil bill said, and I quote, "Tooey, too too, toi, tooey, ta toi tooey."

This is what we need right now, someone that speaks from his heart.

Cecil Bill's oratory could be summed up as McCain tells our troops they can

go f--k

themselves , as long as he has his say and his campaign supporters."

 

Wolfie says, "Woofey tooey toi tooey." Which approximately translates

to McCain has no morals nor ethics and shall recieve his judgement on

election day.

can't vote?

Yeah, the Republicans have probably made sure that your "6 million" registered voters can't vote, 'cause all those "registered voters" are all pets and dead people and illegal aliens.  Those mean Republicans.....

Pets and Dead people?

Shielah,

Obviously you didn't Google "caging" as Mr. Tubbs suggested. This practice doesn't target pets or dead people, it targets soldiers and people who live in traditionally Democratic districts.

But let's get down to principle's.  What is the real purpose of placing new restrictions (photo ID's, etc.) or performing so-called "cleansing" of voter lists?  Shouldn't a democracy encourage and even facilitate the voting process rather than make it more restrictive and difficult?  The real problems we face today are not someone voting as a dead person or a dog, but rather citizens of good standing being denied their right to vote for their leaders, voting machines that can be tampered with and legitimate votes that are "lost".  Anyone who supports or aids in any of these is "a mean old" whatever.
