If you go over to Pastor(?) Steve Doohickey’s blog, vocies carry, you will notice there is a link to John McCain’s site. I find it interesting that they would not only endorse a candidate on their site but John McCain, a pro-war candidate. It is estimated that over 4,000 American soldiers have died and some estimates think that between 150,000 to 400,000 innocent Iraqis have died with almost half of them being under the age of eight. John voted for the Iraq war and continues to support this operation, that continues to kill our brave soldiers and innocent Iraqi children.

So is John McCain really pro-life? You be the judge.

RCJ has a great article about the the measure today. Yesterday the FOX news show of Sioux Falls, KCPO’s ‘THE FACTS’ had PUC commissioner, Dusty ‘Charlie Brown’ Johnson on the show. The first half of the show Charlie talked about a great windpower program that is a partnership with schools, then the host let Chuck rant and rave (mislead) about all the negative effects of #10 if passed. Funny how the only people complaining about #10 are politicians, business men and municipalities? Things that make you go . . . hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Mr. Powers does an editorial toon from time to time, sometimes they are funny, most of the time they are not. I see since FolkArts quit cartooning he must have gave his Microsoft Paint software to Pat.

Pat just because I was kicking your ass for a week and now you are back on top doesn’t mean you need to try to attempt political satire (we all know Republicans don’t have a sense of humor). For the record I agree with you on the Johnson debates, he should debate and I think he is capable of it, but really, 15 posts or so about it and a bad cartoon? I also agree with Todd, great political strategy, why give FREE press to a nobody whose campaign is broke. Maybe you should hold a fundraiser for Joel, Pat.

I did one this weekend about the situation that I will post today sometime.

UPDATE: and the hits keep coming.

and some more from Bob.
