Please ask Mr. Smith why he isn't in Iraq fighting the war his party continues to support.
so, facebook is essential to reaching young voters, but john mccain's inability to sent an email is a "superficial" issue?
hack.
Leonard, would you PLEASE stop framing questions about McCain around his "maverick" status -- how absurd is it to consider this man an outsider or an independent thinker when he has been in the senate for 26 years, voted with the sitting president 90% of the time these last 8 years and picked his running mate to appease right wing evangelicals? I mean, come on man, we expect a little bit of thought from you, not a lot of RNC talking points soft balled to your guest!
it's not about the last eight years!?!?! wha?!?!?
reform! change! maverick! country first! he got all that crap into one sentence. another fast-talking hack.
You bet that they don't want to talk about the last eight years.
All this College Republican learned in college was how to mouth GOP talking points. Pathetic.
Hi -- yes you're all right he's spent a generation voting with his party, but it's been a particularly egregious practice since W was selected for office... and the votes he's made (pro-war, anti-environment, anti-veteran, anti-family) fly in the face of what they're claiming to stand for at this absurd event ... ai, wake me when it's over!!!
