Q & A

How effective are personal attacks by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on each other?

The real question is what effects these negative attacks have on the voters.
Since Bush has nearly destroyed our economy, our international reputation, our military preparedness, and our Constitution, one would hope that Obama and Clinton would transcend attacks on one another and instead ATTACK the above issues.
Otherwise, they may be handing the presidency to McCain.

When it comes to money, how can John McCain catch up with the Democrats?

This is an easy question to answer.
McCain's wife needs to give him all that he needs to compete with Clinton and Obama.

McCain can pay her back later, after he receives millions for his Presidential memoirs .

Why in the years following 9/11 has the government refused to secure our nation’s borders?

My first visceral answer is that George W….The Deceiving and Deciding-Bush doesn't truly love this nation, and doesn't have a clue about what to do or what's going on.
Plus, all of the people who work within (and out) of his lying and pathetic regime (i.e. quasi-dictatorship) just do what their meister does or wants them to do.
If not, they get booted.
These unpatriotic and despicable morons, liars and thieves parade their religion and flag buttons, while destroying our country and world.
Oh, I think I'm off-topic.

The Virtual Fence should have been a done deal seven years ago.

The cameras and radar should have already been there THE DAY AFTER 9/11.

Finally, who were the terrorists, really, who carried out 9/11?

Are the presidential candidates going to have to spend more time talking about Iraq?

Yes.
They'll have to talk about Iraq, but they'll also have to do more than just talk about Iraq.
That's the Bush War Syndrome:
TALK ABOUT IT
TALK ABOUT IT
TALK ABOUT IT…
SURGE
SURGE
SURGE…
Until
Iran has made itself (or is fashioned into) a sufficiently evil enemy so that Cheney and Bush can justify and begin their new war, but this time using nukes to remove Iran from Bush's evil axis.
In the meantime, the people of this nation need to file a class action suit against George W. Bush and Richard Bruce DICK Cheney, and make them pay for their unnecessary war, and after they are broke and walking around in rags, impeach and imprison their lying hides

IT'S THE OIL STUPID!
