I gently suggest you check some of your own spelling before criticizing others.

At least I tried to bring some funny with my critisism, instead of just talking down to others. Im sure you made fun of dyslexics in college, if not in high school as well.

ETA: I do understand making fun of dyslexics has become a national pasttime in the last 8 yerars that Shrub has been in office.

I don't think people would purposely make fun of someone with a learning disability, or a handicap. Well, adults, I should say. Kids can be mean, and are known to be bullies and antagonize those weaker than they are. Well, some adults do as well, but they just need their butts kicked.

I can make fun of my own problems, lol, and be self-deprecating, but that's not like making fun of someone else.

I won't argue that McCain's ads are very "negative". But WHY do they need to go 'negative'?

Could it be that the 'regular' media won't talk about Obama's negative aspects? Could it be that the media does Obama's dirty work for him?

I wonder what the result would be if we did a comparison of negative media stories about Obama as opposed to McCain.

Or to put it another way most of you here want to argue style over substance.

Do the right thing.... Don't vote for either one of these guys. Send a REAL message to DC.

Why do they need to go negative - I've been asking myself the same question. Are they afraid to stick to the issues, the economic mess? Whatever the reason, they are turning off many voters - and making themselves look foolish in the bargain.

Would it matter to you? If McCain went positive and only talked about the issues, could it change your mind?

But don't worry Grace.

Unless BO makes a massive, earth shattering blunder, he is going to win. I just pray that my fear of just how massive Big Brother gets under him is wrong.

Once again, you are totally off base.
