Of course there's NO ONE fueling that fire - right?

Obama has been justly criticized for his ties to former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers, who in 1995 hosted a campaign event for Obama and in 2001 gave him a $200 contribution. The two have also served together on the board of a foundation. When their connection became known, McCain minced no words: "I think not only a repudiation but an apology for ever having anything to do with an unrepentant terrorist is due the American people." What McCain didn't mention is that he has his own Bill Ayers -- in the form of G. Gordon Liddy. Now a conservative radio talk-show host, Liddy spent more than 4 years in prison for his role in the 1972 Watergate burglary. That was just one element of what Liddy did, and proposed to do, in a secret White House effort to subvert the Constitution. Far from repudiating him, McCain has embraced him.

How close are McCain and Liddy? At least as close as Obama and Ayers appear to be. In 1998, Liddy's home was the site of a McCain fundraiser. Over the years, he has made at least four contributions totaling $5,000 to the senator's campaigns -- including $1,000 this year.

Last November, McCain went on his radio show. Liddy greeted him as "an old friend," and McCain sounded like one. "I'm proud of you, I'm proud of your family," he gushed. "It's always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great."

Has anyone seen the newest ad the Texas GOP is running regarding Obama living in a mansion, wanting to live in the White House, yet ignoring his Kenyan brother who lives in a shack on $1.00 per day?

Yes, I saw it yesterday. All I have to say is, maybe they should have contacted Barack's bro before going ahead with this ad.

He was for email before he was against it.

Candy Crowley: We are with the Republican presidential nominee, George W. Bush. Thank you for joining us for your first online, on-air news interview. This is a complicated process here, at least for you and I, so let me set the stage for our viewers and our listeners.

This is an online news interview. Participants are now logging into CNN.com. They're submitting their questions live for you. To allow those online participants who couldn’t join us live to benefit, we have taken questions by e-mail prior to this. We’ve done this sort of thing in the past.

Now, participants can watch this interview on CNN.com, but they can also watch it live on CNN, on CNN International, on CNNfn, and they can listen to it on CNN’s radio affiliate station. So everybody’s watching and listening. Shortly after the conclusion of this interview, an on-demand transcript for the interview and a complete transcript of the interview will be available at CNN.com.

So having said that, there are lots of questions. But you know, here I am, so I have to ask you the first. Do you go online? I mean do you use this technology at all?

George W. Bush: I do. I do. Not only do I do it, I use it personally at my home in the governor’s mansion in Austin. Generally, I’m an e-mail person. I e-mail my brothers. Hopefully, my daughters will e-mail me when they get to college. Matter of fact, at my convention speech, I encouraged them to do so.

Our campaign has a Web page that encourages people to log on and to learn more about me and express their opinions, one way or the other. I’m told we have thousands of hits. And so the Internet is becoming more and more widespread, and not only personally, but in terms of politics.

OK. I listened very carefully and I heard this: NOTHING but music. I'm listening to an instrumental. Next up: Walk Idiot Walk. How appropriate. ;-)

Yes indeedy - it's silly season. The Law of Survival is now in effect: "It is not who is right, it's whose left."

Homelesseus - What has happened? The country got into a bad relationship a few years back and it hasn't been the same since.
