Dude. They have to rhyme.

Also: Please define "safety." Do you mean "secure"?

As in, feeling secure we won't loose our homes?

Feeling secure we won't loose our health care insurance?

Feeling secure we won't loose our retirement nest eggs?

Feeling secure we won't loose our jobs?

Feeling secure that if we loose our jobs, we won't also loose our health care insurance, and if we loose that too, secure that we won't loose our homes and our retirement nest eggs if we do end up in the hospital with a catastrophic illness?

Or do you just mean "national security" and "economic security for bankers and investors?"

Well, it's not clear that Americans feel more secure about the economy with Obama than they do with McCain.

A recent Rasmussen poll, for example, found that McCain is more trusted when it comes to the economy.

Are you trying to prove that Americans are idiots or something? McCain is the guy who freely admitted he doesn't have a clue about economy...

Please, don't harass our conservative visitor. He's tired, and merely looking for a bridge to sleep under, so he doesn't get caught in the open by the midday sun.

What you failed to mention was that the past was good.

Care to elaborate on which parts? I think there have been parts that where not so much good, but perhaps I'm mistaken, and that the entirety of human history "was good."

So far everyone has failed the test...

Clinton is NOT a candidate any longer.

I'm going with this one. "Drool" just works on so many levels.

Clinton - Reconciliation (P.S. Release thy Delegation!)
