er, not background checks. family, what you did as a teen, you went to a party once, did you smoke pot? it's absurd. if our founding fathers were held to todays standards, washington would not have been allowed to lead our military due to his actions in the french and indian war. jefferson, don't even get me started. adams was the defense attorney for the brit soldier blamed for the boston massacre-just think if one of the defense attorneys for one of the terrorist suspects decided to run for office. sam adams, in debt up to his eyeballs. ben franklin, child out of wedlock. need i go on? yet we hold them up on pedestals, deservedly so, for what they did for country. but just think if they were around today.

All Americans.

And nobody is talking about background checks. It's the beyond absurd intrusion into someone's personal life that has so many capable, accomplished people saying, "No thanks" to a few years of public service.

LOL we had a Pres who smoked but didn't inhale, a coke lover and alcoholic and a guy who is pictured smoking a joint and can't find his birth certificate. All out before they were elected. And those are the last three!!!!

You aren't talking about salaries.

And you might reassess "who" is "paying taxes", and who "isn't"

I have no clue how anyone, even a liberal, could say that Obama was "easily the better choice" than McCain. McCain had more knowledge & experience about government and military in his pinky finger than Obama knew in 2008.

I would have to REFUDIATE that with you Uncly...
