Carlos Santana -- Yo Mama in '08!
Carlos Santana probably knew we wouldn't post a blatant endorsement of a Prez candidate on the site, so he slipped his little plug in under the table -- kinda sorta.

If that gives you heartburn, I wonder what the country being in the worst financial crisis in 50 years on a Republican watch gives you?
One thing it won't give you is anything remotely close to a good quality of life.

11. He's free to vote for whomever he chooses as any other American registered voter is. The fact he mumbles it doesnt surprise me...ever seen him in concert? He mumbles the whole time, usually things about "love and life and hope and light and stars and nature"....a complete bumbling idiot sans guitar.
So shut up and dont sing or talk Carlos. I think he's back on drugs given his wife recently left him after decades of helping him get off them.

12. Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act Of 2005 (McCain's Bill Which Obama Opposed)
May 25, 2006 | John McCain
Sen. John McCain [R-AZ]: Mr. President, this week Fannie Mae's regulator reported that the company's quarterly reports of profit growth over the past few weeks were 'illusions deliberately and systematically created' by the company's senior management, which resulted in a $10.6 billion accounting scandal.
The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight's report goes on to say that Fannie Mae employees deliberately and intentionally manipulated financial reports to hit earnings targets in order to trigger bonuses for senior executives. In the case of Franklin Raines, Fannie's former chief executive officer, OFHEO's report shows that over half of Mr. Raines' compensation for the 6 years through 2003 was directly tied to meeting earnings targets. The report of financial misconduct at Fannie Mae echoes the deeply troubling $5 billion profit restatement at Freddie Mac.
The OFHEO report also states that Fannie Mae used its political power to lobby Congress in an effort to interfere with the regulator's examination of the company's accounting problems. This report comes some weeks after Freddie Mac paid a record $3.8 million fine in a settlement with the Federal Election Commission and restated lobbying disclosure reports from 2004 to 2005. These are entities that have demonstrated over and over again that they are deeply in need of reform.
For years I have been concerned about the regulatory structure that governs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- known as Government-sponsored entities or GSEs -- and the sheer magnitude of these companies and the role they play in the housing market. OFHEOs report this week does nothing to ease these concerns. In fact, the report does quite the contrary. OFHEOs report solidifies my view that the GSEs need to be reformed without delay.
I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole.
I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE reform legislation

13. Re: here I am
The O supporters don't want to hear anything against their almighty "messiah". When confronted with the facts the most any will concede is "it's both party's fault". And since when has TMZ NOT blatantly endorsed "their" pick?

14. My esteem for Mr. Santana just went in the toilet. I know this is not an apolitical site but I must vent on the stupidity of the American people with their heads up their butts when it comes to facing the facts. Nobama's associates in the past include terrorists (William Ayres), treason-spouters (think "Rev" Jeremiah Wright), Marxists (community organizer), frauds (Antoine Rezko) and anti-Americans (Louis Farrakhan, Supreme Leader of the Nation of Islam). How can this be happening? If Nobama gets elected, kiss your freedom-loving asses goodbye.

15. We already kissed quite a few of them away thanks to you @#$tard republicans..
What do we have left hrmm..
You do realize Palin has attempted to censor books in public libraries right?
Some republicans are idiots. They claim the left is going to strip us of our rights, meanwhile the right has been doing it since 9/11.
What was their mentality behind all of that? Protection is better than freedom?
They claim the left kills babies..
Yet they praise McCain, a man who dropped bombs on villages from the sky. It isn't like there were actual living children in those villages, heavens no.
They claim the left are socialists..
Yet they've been pushing the middle class into poverty..
I'd take socialism over seeing 5% of the country prosper, while the rest end up having to go the hand to mouth route..
The right bitch that the hollywood elite rip them, totally neglecting the fact most of the free world are ripping on them. But can you blame them? The republicans put a moron in power for 8 years, and they now want to put a woman who barely can grasp the english language in the white house. They claim she's one of them, I guess they think that's a good thing.
But it's always fun to tell republicans "I told you so" after the person they put in power @#$s up.
Btw.. you Bush lovers..
We're still losing the war..
McCain is just selling a line of @#$t
You can't win a war against soldiers who have no issue with death whatsoever..
They'll continue to rise up against those who've invaded their country until every single one of them is wiped out.
And that isn't going to happen anytime soon...
