Washington, D.C.(Steveyoungonpolitics.com) - In a break with tradition, and in an attempt to counter Barack Obama’s announcement to accept the Democratic presidential nomination at Denver’s 76,000 seat Invesco Field at Mile High, John McCain will accept the Republican presidential nomination on the Robert Street Bridge, a reinforced concrete multiple-arch bridge that spans the Mississippi River in Minneapolis-St Paul instead of the Xcel Energy Center, site of the party’s national convention.

Site of McCain’s acceptance Speech

“For us to be able to do it on the Robert Street Bridge is an opportunity for thousands of people who would have sat through three excruciatingly painful days, only to find out that John McCain was actually going to be their candidate, to make an important choice,” said Republican National Committee Chairman, Mike Duncan. “Either work faithfully for the next sixty days in a hopeless effort to talk the electorate into voting for four more years of Republican leadership (sic), or READ THE REST OF THE STORY.

OBAMA

FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY "ANYONE" WOULD VOTE FOR BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. COULD YOU ENLIGHTEN ME? I SEE AND HEAR NOTHING BUT "NOTHING WORDS" FROM HIM. HE DOES NOT EVEN HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE SENATOR, MUCH LESS OUR PRESIDENT. TO ME THAT JOB REQUIRES MUCH EXPERIENCE IN GOVERNMENT, ESPECIALLY FOREIGN POLICY, WHICH HE HAS NONE OF. IF HE IS ELECTED EVERY PERSON THAT IS A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL SUFFER FOR THOSE WHO ARE FALLING FOR HIS NOTHING WORDS.

Life long Democrat?

You sound like a Republican troll.

After voting in every presidential election in your 64 years of eligibility (voting age was 21 when you first voted), maybe it's time for you to hang up the Ink A Vote pen and let saner heads vote for you.

Nah, not a Republican Troll, A Hillary Diehard

There's this group of angry Hillary supporters, purportedly with males, but I haven't met one yet, who are still trying to bash Obama so the superdelegates will dump him at the convention. They're the most angry, resentful, hateful and they will do anything to destroy Obama and the Democratic hopes of winning while they are at it. I think it is a new kind of mental disorder. Cal it post Hillary agitated depression?

I find it hard to believe that the public feels led astray by President Bush for leading us into a war blindsided. Where were you when Bush went to the United Nations for help in finding out if Iraq had WMD's. How many chances did we give Saddam to come clean only to hear over and over again "I need more time, No you can't enter Iraq" How many chances did we give him? If it was up to the Democratic party would we still be waiting?
Where were you when President Bush said enough... w...

Vote for Obama ?

He claims his name is African Swahili, his name is really Arabic and Baraka means blessed in that language. Barrack Hussein Obama is not half black. If he is elected, he would be the first Artab-American President, not our first black President . Barack is 50% caucasian from his mother's side 43.75% Arabic and 6.25 African Negro from his father's side, while his father was from Kenya, his father's family was mainly Arabs. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro, and 87.5% Arab. His fathers birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro .. Be careful on what changes will come our way if he's elected

The troll needs a history lesson

See his bio.

Saddam didn't kick out the UN inspectors, Bush did.

While they were doing a fine job of finding there was NO there, there, Bush pulled them out just before the first bombs dropped.

The bio and comments are a joke

This troll is sound asleep, overdosed on the right wing Koolaid. Fortunately, the number of people who are still operating this ignorant, blind and brain deada level are fewer and fewer. They're the people who listen to Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck. He's harmless on this site-- kind like a dinosaur in a zoo. We can look at his comment, laugh derisively and see the lame, pathetic nature and character of people who support the right wing vision and cause. Truly pathetic and disgusting.

I mean, intelligent right wingers know the truth about Obama. They may pass on the serial emails purporting him to be a Muslim, but it is because they know there are so many, as Michael Moore described, "Stupid White Men" who are also racists, who will believe the garbage, or, think that there are other stupid people they know who will believe.

You have to wonder how many of these right wing cretins actually believe this stuff or just assume there are enough racist, stupid redneck morons who will believe.
