Are you still going to try to say the debates are set-up to favor the Democrats? Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser) is where the McCains get the money for all those houses, cars and $300,000 dresses- in case you didn't know.

This is a clear conflict of interest.
Why is it a conflict of interest? Is Budweiser going to give Palin questions ahead of time?

First of all the 300,000 dress was a lie and has been debunked.

Second they do not own Anheuser-Busch, they have an EXTREMELY successful money making distributorship.

They had nothing to do with this at all.

And, before you post get all the facts.

AB the parent compnay has donated tons of money to your stupid candidate, Barack Hussein Carter II.

What are you all going to whine about now?

ANOTHER DEM POST DEBUNKED.

Take a chill pill. I think this hold thread was just meant to poke fun.

Aww but according to Ms Buchanan, it is the idea that there might be a corrolation to the book sales and Ms Ifill, not her integrity, that makes the VP debate a clear conflict of interest. So if all the McCain people watch the debates, and find they have to drown their sorrows, what beer might they be choosing, and who might get rich off of that?? Ha.

I hope she is the first lady. Then she can make sure no beer but can be sold in the USA unless it is AB.

Something Obama would have done ya know!! He loves to control everything.

Cannot wait to see this lady be our first lady. She will be awesome.

Here is a question? Since the company will soon be a Dutch one, will they have to stop to distribution since they are part of the buy American crowd or will they be happy because they are part of the free trade crowd?
