evidently barack has heard of those terms since he picked biden, responsible for "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy ... I mean, that's a storybook, man", to be his running mate.

LMAO. So you Obama supporters don't like the glimpse of reality that goes on in Wash DC and actually claim your candidate is any different?

Grow up please. Wash Dc is it's own world and if you don't know how to play you lose.

Democrats want to shut their eyes to reality. Abortion isn't ugly, oh no, but we don't want to actually SEE those babies born alive.

Sarah Palin is a treasonist witch for using a lobbyist for her small home town and obtaining Fed support to help the citizens as is her sworn duty but freaking OBAMA can be the number three lobby money taking senator from the FANNIE MAE criminals.

OBAMA talking points are being spewed by every single media outlet except Fox WORD FOR WORD including TOM BROKAW yesterday morning but Dems love to pretend it's not true (even though secretely they are thinking too bad, dirty play is fair).

Your focus on minor dumb details and not the big realities of Wash Dc and the media bias towards OBAMA will insure your continued disappointment in "the system".

So you are quite content with Washington D.C. as is, eh. It certainly has been serving us well, hasn't it.

Perhaps you are comfortable with hypocrisy. Personally I'm not. McCain use to have a moral compass. Now, not so much as his hiring of Condon illustrates. Obama should have been very vocal about the sexism surrounding Hillary's campaign; he wasn't and it could cost him big time.

And stop accusing everyone who has a problem with McCain/Palin as being an Obamafan. It's not true, though I doubt that bothers you.

and BO supported a racist for 20 years......

It gets worse than his just being in bed with Rove. He straight out hired Tucker Eskew who was one of the masterminds behind the SC debacle. McCain despises the man and has said "there is a special place in he!!" for Tucker. Rove gets the big credit because he's the big name but Tucker had his hands much deeper in that than Rove ever did.

Apples and oranges. There is little that could display the depths you're willing to sink to to win when you'll hire men you hate to run your campaign - especially when McCain holds a grudge better than anyone in DC.

Why do you constantly accuse people of not knowing what Washington is like as if you have a personal hotline to the Congress? Although it is fashionable to bash the Congress, they are us and we send them. If they are not acting as we wish it is our responsibility to reign them in. I do not want, nor am I voting for, king. I am voting for a politician. And I have more confidence in Obama/Biden's methods, ideas, and morals, than I do those of McCain/Palin.

I think you're way off. Congress is not "us". Congrss is 432 politicians that represent their states and districts. There are an additional three who might be said to represent the "us" of my state and district. However, Ms. Feinstein, Waters and the ilk do not amswer to me in any way shape oe form. That's not a we.

It's called no scruples or family pride. Mccain got owned back in 2000 and realized he needed that same person to own Obama. If it were me, I would hire the guy and on his first day wring his neck.
