Given the history of embarsassing relatives of presidential candidates, I find it difficult to see how this becomes a game changer.

Shut up and pass me another Billy Beer.

What if one of the candidates had an illegal alien fugitive relative who was living on welfare, commiting election fraud while sending illegal campaign donations? And being protected from deportation and prosecution by high level government officials. If only the  mainstream media will give this outrage the coverage it desrves.

Ooohh, Ooohh, I know the answer to that one, John McCain will grant her amnesty and citizenship then his buddies will sell her an overpriced house with a bad mortgage which McCain will buy back with our tax money and give her a new mortgage.

And of course Joe the Plumber will do all of her landscaping for freee while singing her to sleep.


Did I get it right???  Cuz if not McCain has flip-flopped his positions again.

This is a non-starter for McCain, the last thing he wants to bring up is illegal immigrants. His base hates him for his attempts at amnesty.

This one plays for Obama, creates a connection to the Latino community and brings in that vote.

Nonsense ahpoo,

Since the media is so in the tank for Obama bin Lyin hers is one of the few places you can actually get the stories the msm will not tell.

When I see the abbreviation "msm," all kinds of red flags go up. People who complain that one candidate gets more negative stories than another make the incorrect assumption that both candidates have equivalent negative and positive aspects. For the media to equalize their positive and negative stories about two candidates who are not equally competent, qualified, etc., would also be dishonest. Your problem is not that the media has a liberal bias, it's that the facts have a liberal bias.

By the way, do these stories ignored by the msm include McCain meeting his wife in a bar while married to his ex? How about the nature of his relationship to Charles Keating? Or that he called his wife a cunt? Oooh-or Cindy's drug habit? Sarah Palin's secessionist husband? Her inability to string together a cogent thought?

Sometimes the msm ignores stories because they're bullshit distractions planted by partisans to inflame and confuse slower voters.

Aw come on.  Who here hasn't called his wife a cunt?

Being an enlightened man of the times, I have never called my wife a cunt.

I was referring to his wife, which may be a bit misleading as I'm referring to his current wife.

I'd never call your wife a cunt, Taint.  It wouldn't be anatomically correct.

It'll make headlines when he calls Gov. Palin a cunt.  Any day now.

The Republicans real wet dream is a return to the 1984 Reagan vs. Mondale election....
