Great idea - if 18 means are are an adult it should also automatically, if you are a citizen, mean you can vote!
Then we can watch as the GOP try to rewrite citizenship requirements!
WHERE was John McCain born - in a hospital OUTSIDE the American-controlled area of Panama?

We KNOW where the funds comes from - those average Americans who have finally seen through the lies that has driven the GOP these past 30 or 40 years.
The GOP is going to HAVE to steal this election - I'm tempted to videotape the voting machine screen when I use it.

in FEC Examines McCain’s Excessive Donors on The Washington Independent
Can you PROVE that McCain's donors are American??
Don't forget, GW Bush had to be tutored in World Affairs by Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia... and the Saudi's have a vested interest in keeping Republican control of the White House!

Perhaps it is true that the surest sign that the McCain campaign is guilty of something is if it accuses the Obama camp of the same deed.

It is known as "projection". When the Republican say that the opposition will do terrible things, if you look carefully you will see that the Republicans have done those sames things already, or will be doing them soon.

Actually, I'd like to know the number of small donors BOTH campaigns have - that to me is how you tell which segment of American society are their supporters.

Congress approves President Bush's spy bill
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The Democratic-led Congress yielded to President Bush on Saturday and approved legislation to temporarily expand government's power to conduct electronic surveillance without a court order in tracking foreign suspects.
Civil liberties groups charged the measure would create a broad net that would sweep up law-abiding U.S. citizens.
But the House of Representatives gave its concurrence to the bill, 227-183, a day after it won Senate approval, 60-28.
The action came amid warnings of possible attacks on the United States.
"After months of prodding by House Republicans, Congress has finally closed the terrorist loophole in our surveillance law -- and America will be the safer for it," declared House Minority Leader John Boehner, an Ohio Republican.
"We think it is not the bill that ought to pass," said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. But he conceded he and fellow Democrats were unable to stop the measure in this national security showdown with the White House.
"Protecting America is our most solemn obligation," Bush said earlier in the day in urging Congress to send him the bill so he could sign it into law. Watch Kelli Arena's report on what some call an intelligence gap »
The measure would authorize the National Security Agency to intercept without a court order communications between people in the United States and foreign targets overseas.

I miss the old days when pols became corrupt AFTER they got to DC!
And what's really funny about this is, is this line in Micheal Moore's movie Farenheit 9-11:
"Okay, so let's say one group of people, like the American people, pay you $400,000 a year to be President of the United States. But then another group of people invest in you, your friends, and their related businesses $1.4 billion dollars over a number of years. Who you gonna like?"
yup ... yup ... the Saudis, you betcha!
