Such gross misrepresentations make me feel sorry for people who post stuff like this. I don't care if it'd be about McCain's age or Obama's hope. Both men have put a lot of time and effort into our country and although we may not agree with either of them (or agree with both wholeheartedly), this does nothing but to lower the bar of intelligence. If we are to prosper as a society, it is because we seek to address issues and not simply put forward myths, lies, and stereotypes. I do not agree completely with any candidate in the race but I can say that I do have a feeling that no matter how they feel on the issues, they both do care deeply for America. When you're ready to make positive changes for this nation, I do hope that you personally will lead by example. It is so much easier to complain about the dark than to be the light for all to see. If you are going to make a political post, that's great, I applaud you for being a responsible citizen and wanting to help make our country and our world a better place. Simply, do so with dignity. Make your arguments and your mark and be able to stand back and look at it and think, "wow, I'm proud of what I did to help make things better". I challenge you to not conform to the lowest common denominator, to not pass on baseless rhetoric, and to fight for the rights of others (especially with those with whom you disagree). Let us begin to make our nation better by holding our candidates responsible. It's ever more important to hold those whom we agree with up to a sharper magnifying glass than those whom we disagree with. Start with yourself and make a positive difference and help transform this world into one constructed out of the kindness of men and women's hearts and the dreams of a better tomorrow.

He is pretty sure of himself.... There is nothing modest about him, when you go as far as to do this .... You know there is a saying, that you meet the same people on the way down as you did on the way up...

Geez, Dan needs to write his own article. He got pretty long winded in here. That's the most I've ever seen him post in a picture. Usually it's just "nice shot".

Caption for this photograph: "When I promised to filibuster the FISA Amendments Act, I had my fingers crossed. Gee, sorry I forgot to tell you that, all you Democrats who voted for me in the primaries."

I'm a progressive Democrat. I supported Obama. But now, he's betrayed the Constitution and embraced one of George W. Bush's worst crimes.

Barack Obama told us he would do one thing. Then he won the primaries, and did the exact opposite of what he promised us.

Why should we believe a single word that comes out of Barack Obama's mouth?

I found this picture today, and think it should be removed Delores. IT WAS AFTER ALL FROM A CAMPAIGN APPEARANCE.

Today Obama Stands Behind the Great Seal of the USA...and generally photographers do not try to make him look 4 foot 6.
