TOP 5 REASONS OBAMA SUPPORTERS SHOULDN’T REST EASY
TOP 5 REASONS OBAMA SUPPORTERS SHOULDN’T REST EASY 1. The polls may be wrong. This is an unprecedented election.

Friedman’s Column – Making America Stupid
Tom Friedman’s column of September 13 “Making America Stupid” points out the weaknesses and faults of McCain’s campaign and the Republican policies. You’ve got to read it. He counters the the Republican mantra “Dill,baby, drill!” with Why would Republicans, the party of business, want to focus our country on breathing life into a 19th-century technology […]
