Belz and Martha talked about how there should be more outrage that Americans were led into war by lies.
The non-partisan, non-profit Center for Public Integrity released a report this week documenting 935 falsehoods put out by the administration regarding the War in Iraq. Anyone concerned with this issue should share this irrefutable information with everyone possible. The impeccable documentation is a smoking gun.

Bill Frist attached the UIGEA (Unlawfull Internet Gambling Enforcment Act) as an amendment to a must pass port security bill in 2006. What do you think about an unrelated item being attached as an amendment to a bill at the 11th hour?

Obama went down in Democratic support after he made his Reagan remark, not because of race. The primary voters are more Liberal, not Reagan Democrats. Don't you think Obama lowered himself to politics as usual when he purposely tried to court Reagan Republicans and knocked himself off his pedestal?

Ever since Barak Obama picked up the endorsement of the culunary workers union, Hilary Clinton's secret service detail has now been saddled with the added duty of taking the first bite of all her bacon-double-cheeseburgers at her favorite diners along the campaign trail.

Perhaps you'll read this comment, perhaps not.
When discussing the topics covered by the candidates, I think it is important to keep in mind that the MEDIA, regardless of whether it is Wolf Blitzer, O'Reilly, Olbermann, etc., that drive people's perceptions of what is important in this race. They tend to conflate recent news stories with the campaigns, highlighting current goings on over events that are still occurring or that should have a greater coverage in the news. Corruption, the FCC Auction of wireless broadband, Senator Craig and his on-again/off-again resignation, Katrina recovery, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Chinese anti-naval and anti-satellite buildup, etc. All of these topics are off the radar due to their lack of headlines or 'newsworthiness'. Never forget that the media have enormous influence on what our candidates think is important at the moment, let alone what snippets fall to the populace when it comes to polls.

Why do people assume it will be a "co-presidency" if Hillary is elected? Is it because she is a woman and can't do it on her own?

I have never posted here before but I have been a fan of your show. Not to big on the posting thing, But I feel that this is something important and I would like you to at least watch this video. It is proof of NH fraud and youtube is now censoring the comments and the number of times viewed, This is not likely to make it on the news. This is a violation on the American people. It isn't about any one candidate but about the fact that we, the people may not even be deciding who our next president is. Please watch....you will see. The video is made by blackboxvoting.org.

Is it not true that the main reason violence is down in Iraq after the surge is that we are paying insurgents and terrorists not to fight us? Were there not also reports of American contractors paying militant groups not to attack their convoys?
I always thought there were laws against funding terrorism. How come Halliburton and the government are exempt from these laws?
Does this not also highlight that the real solution to the Iraq "catastrafuck" is to built an economic infrastructure so people can work and pay to feed their families. And how can we achieve this when, due to our actions, almost every smart Iraqi got the fuck out of there years ago?

Bill
Does anyone on the panel believe that you need some sort of political experience to be the President and if so for how long?. I mean Obama has only been a senator for 3 years, John Edwards and Hillary Clinton do have some experience on the democratic side and well the republicans McCain is possibly the only one. Could you please stop the Clinton bashing every week I mean whether they get to white House again or not and for all his faults Bill Clinton did do a good job when he was President. Outisde of his affair the country was in good shape. Come on look what happens when you vote for a guy that has no experience at all i.e. George Bush

During Nam every man, woman and child killed were touted by the Pentagon press as Viet Cong--It's no different in Iraq only the dead are called Al qaeda.

sorry, who cares? there is little diference between islamic fundamentalists and cristian fundementalists, the people will never win here and never in the Middle Esat, as long as these 'types" have such a huge voice. I am sorry for my children, it won't happen in my life, but without a doubt it will happen for my grandkids. It starts with things like "god hates fags" and abortion clinic bombings and will lead to assasinations of people who are 'against" cristian values.
It is not Muslims that are the enemy to "AMERICA" is the threat to the "curch vs state" that this country was founded on!
I am a Canadian, who carry's a legal 'green card" I can't vote and it pisses me off that these idiots that have no personal opinion, and do what thier "paster' minister, reverend" tell them. that is note a vote, in the defined.

what do you think of the way Mitt Romney has been speaking at Staples stores and talking about a "solutions-oriented approach"? are people stupid enough to think that this fuck has an EASY button?

There are very few differences between the parties. I believe there is a ruling class and a "less than" ruling class. Do you see a candidate that could be a non-ruling class member? How does someone try to effect change without wasting their vote?
