McCain vs. Obama: The online race

The only thing I can think of is, if McCain wins the election, this November, America as I knew it will hopelessly be gone. After the last 8 years, why would anyone in their right mind want more of the same - or worse. How smart would that be?

I could not agree more.

Did you happen to catch the end of his acceptance speech for the nom? "FIGHT WITH ME" FIGHT WITH ME" - over and over again. I would have preferred "Work with Me!" Then there is Palin. Please. "God's War" is she kidding? First off, isn't there a separation of State and Church - oh wait... we can use the word "god" when we want to make a point, but I digress. Secondly, it reminds me of the froot-looped terrorists, aren't they fighting gods war??

You two must be Socialists.

Barak Hussein Obama!! Why don't you folks check out the real story on this guy? He's a big fraud who won't even salute our American flag... I just got done serving 2 tours in Iraq and that is disgraceful to me. McCain's got my vote ten times over.

The only thing I can think of is, if Obama wins the election, this November, America as I knew it will hopelessly be gone. Both literally and figuratively.

Welcome to the USSA (United Socialist States of America).

At Obama's presidential inaugural address:

- Reverand Wright will lead the convocation in a "Goddamn Amerikka" prayer.

- William Ayers will set off dynamite to knock down the Washington Monument.

- We will lose our right to vote (see Obama's sponsorship of the pro-Union voting bill).

- Our 401k's and IRA's will be dessimated by taxes.

- We will be told to quit our jobs and work for the State.

- Forums such as these will be banned for fear of anything bad being said about Obamessiah.

Barak Hussein Obama!! Not during or after this war will I vote a man with that name into presidency. Is he Saddams' cousin? Why don't you folks check out the real story on this guy? He's a big fraud who won't even salute our American flag... I just got done serving 2 tours in Iraq and that is disgraceful to me. McCain's got my vote ten times over cause he's a man of honor, with a great choice for VP backing him up.

More people watched McCain because the Democrats, Progressives and Independents were watching along with the Republicans. We are more open minded people and we want to hear both sides. We do not operate in the (group think mode) We listened off and on as much as we could stomach .
We listened for ourselves, instead of waiting for network republicans and politicians to translate for us.
after all we do speak english !
We listened but ..............
WE DID NOT LIKE WHAT WE HEARD

Oh Please! McCain is not Bush. Please remember that not all Republican views are shared between the two of them. Obama offers "change" thats a strong word for little experience.

Obama offers change. Change for the worse. Change you can be afraid of. Obama is extremely liberal. McCain is moderately conservative. In this election, we have a choice between an extreme liberal and a moderate. I can't see why anyone (who isn't looking for the government to provide them more services for free) would want Obama over McCain.

McCain is not Bush. Bush being an unsuccessful president should not condemn McCain. Are we going to slam Obama because Carter was a loser? If Obama becomes president, it will be a very, very sad day for America.

The choice of Governor Palin is not only irresponsible, but contemptuous of women and our capacity to make intelligent decisions. How could a man who said (and I believed) "I would rather lose an election, than lose a war" choose to put someone so unprepared, a heartbeat away from the nuclear button. If McCain were to win and she, heaven forbid, ever had to take over, not just the USA, but the world would be endangered. Obviously, it's more important to "win an election" than to put the country (and the world )first! Roberta Enschede

You McCain supporters are losers no matter if McCain is president!

Why is the "new" Republican slogan "Change"?

Why are Republicans scrambling for "celebrity" spotlight with Palin?

Why are Republicans hiding Palin from the press?

Why are Repuclicans forced to commit to lies to attack Obama (and use his middle name as some symbolic evil) about his religion, name, birthright, etc.?

Desperation anyone?

I bet if that was Obama's daughter that was pregnant and not married him and his family would be dragged through the mud. People would be whispering, ranting and raven, put them down. But then yet they don't say anything because Palin and her family are non-Black.

Please people - all those Obama smears have been disproven over and over. Why aren't you listening. You are going to vote like sheep being led to the slaughter and get four more years of Bush policies and put our country so far behind economically and on the world front. McCain supported Bush 90% of the time, his campaign people are mostly lobbyists who he will reward with responsible positions they are not prepared to handle (remember Brownie and Katrina) and things won't get better, in fact, they will get worse because Palin is even more conservative in Bush and believes in taking away our American rights to be free to choose our own religious beliefs and moral values and not hers! The American people have been fooled twice by Rove and the GOP lowdown tactics. Now don't tell me you are ready to be fooled again. Don't you learn?

Obama's all the way Do not want to see more of the same... I don't know the guy but I know that McCain is going to keep using Bush ways of doing Politics

I just wonder why "socialist" is a bad word. It only means that you put your political emphasis on the well fare of the people rather than capitilists, who are more concerned with the almighty dollar.

I'm really afraid that if McCain wins the election, or if he fudges it like our current president who was never really elected, than there will be rioting in the streets. You can only squeeze blood from a population so long before they fight back.

I feel like Just because Busch is a republican and we've hit some unsteady times doesn't mean all republicans are bad. What about when Bill Clinton had an affair, or admited he smokes pot, did that change all Democrates to republicans, I don't think so. I agree I would rather have another 4 years living like George Busch is still In office than knowing there is some musslim, who don't even believe in saluting the american flag running our country. Or having somone who is friends with the people who KILLED OUR PEOPLE, friends, family, neighbors, kids, when they hijacked planes. Some of you people are Crazy!

It seems to me, after all this time of Bush's policies and after all we've been through..... whoever is not voting for Obama would have to be a person that is not ready for a black president. Any other excuse for voting for mccain simply does not make sense.

After all the newsclips that showed McCain backing Bush all the way and then his lame attempt to distance himself when he wants to attempt to dupe the American public, anyone would want to follow this very tired thinker, is beyond me!

Obama is a man of intelligence and grit. You can hear the intelligence not the rhetoric, when he speaks. He's not sooo sold out to big oil that he'll likely mire us into more war with less developed, less "white" countries. And quite simply he's not going to give tax breaks to all the wealthiest in the country. He's a real guy, for real people--I mean he's done it, look at what his life has been; he's made it.

He

Secondly, it reminds me of the froot-looped terrorists, aren't they fighting gods war??

Fruit is spelled FRUIT.

The choice of Governor Palin is not only irresponsible, but contemptuous of women and our capacity to make intelligent decisions. How could a man who said (and I believed) "I would rather lose an election, than lose a war" choose to put someone so unprepared, a heartbeat away from the nuclear button. If McCain were to win and she, heaven forbid, ever had to take over, not just the USA, but the world would be endangered. Obviously, it's more important to "win an election" than to put the country (and the world )first! Roberta Enschede

LET'S BE MATURE WOMEN AND BACK OFF ON THE HYSTERICS, SHALL WE?

I hope McCain wins. The only way we are going to have "real change" is if McCain finishes what Bush started, and runs this country into the ground. When we are completely bankrupt and the Soviets invade the US... Then these McCain morons will know the definition of Socialist.

The President of the United States represents a melting pot of people with different beliefs and cultures. I have watched this presidential campaign from the democratic disaster to this new fresh twish of Republican renewal. The Republican ticket and the Republican party show the respect I expect from the President of the United States. I have been appalled by the things the Democratic nominee has said about our country. And those statements were the only statements he has made that sounded true and honest.

There is something that all of you Obama supporters should note: The more senior voters are voting for McCain.

That is because after all they have seen in this world, they recognize what is real and what is not. Obama is a figment. There is no substance. He is the equivalent of smoke and mirrors and has the youth of the country ready to follow him into the river like the Pied Piper. That is because they have not seen enough to know what is real.

John McCain has served this country in ways that very few living today ever had to. He did it so you could log in here and say whatever you want. He and so many like him made your comfortable existence possible.

Obama has no record. If he did, he would tell you about it. Did that ever occur to any of you?
John Slade above is a perfect example. He states of Obama that he doesn't "know the guy, but... " he is going to vote for him anyway. John, really? Think!

Why would you say that Republicans are going to vote like sheep? It is clearly the other way around. Democrats are supporting a candidate that has hardly any experience compared to McCain. Put parties aside, and I would much rather have a candidate that has some experience running our country. Democrats are like sheep because they are following what is mainstream and in the media. The liberal media hates Bush, and it is popular to hate Bush. They are using this to say that all Republicans would be like Bush and therefore you should vote for a non-Republican. Well McCain is obviously a different person, and is not going to do things exactly the same. Besides, all the hatred towards Bush is ridiculous and misplaced. When you're the President in time of war and economic downturn, you're not going to be very popular, but you can't blame everything on the president.

While both of these candidates are controlled by corporate globalist interests the idea that you sheep are even falling for McCain is sicking. Take a look at both these candidates foreign policy's their virtually identical, but McCain openly states that he wants America in Iraq for 50 to 100 years.
Read a book, research topics before you give your opinion. If you really love the republic demand that the constitution is restored. Ten years ago would any of you believe what is going on today? Don't even bring up 9/11, it was only 3000 people and some buildings. Is that really all it takes for you to bow down to tyrants? The Nazi's were a much bigger threat, our grandfathers did not surrender their rights for "safety"? Wake up Wake Up if you don't soon you never deserved to be born free slave

Vote for McCain !!!

VOTE OBAMA!!!!!!!!!

I think it comes down to who you can trust. As for me I've went back and forth. I would like to vote Dem but I trust McCain.

Notice that McCain supporters have not much to say except to bring up previously disproven Obama rumors. Let it go .. it's not working.

Just so you guys know, McCain has zero experience. ANY conservative has zero experience. You can't deny progress for thirty years and proclaim "ha! experience!"

And no, I'm not a socialist, and no, I'm not an Obama supporter. I'm not on the Obama train, so don't feed me that balogna about his "anti-Americanism" and "outlandish inexperience". I just feel like, you know what? I have to vote for somebody who's going to help America. I have to vote for the man who obviously excersices better judgement. I have to vote for the party that is more for the people than the profit (DRILL BABY DRILL? GOP, is that REALLY the best you can do?). Well, nevermind, I can't, because I'm seventeen.

The bad thing about democracy is we have underqualified voters. Don't ruin my life with your ignorant, sometimes even bigoted policy, please?

Thanks guys, this would mean a lot to me.

The Obama Tidal Wave

We are witnessing a political phenomenon with Barack Obama of
rare magnitude.

His speeches have inspired millions and yet most of his followers
have no idea of what he stands for except platitudes of 'Change' or that he
says he will be a 'Uniter'.

The power of speech from a charismatic person truly can be a
powerful thing. Certainly Billy Graham had charisma.
Both his manner of
speech and particularly the content changed millions.

On the extreme other hand, the charisma of Adolph Hitler, too,
inspired millions and the results were catastrophic.

Barack Obama certainly is no Hitler or a Billy Graham, but for
many Americans riding on the Obama Tidal Wave it is just like a surfer who
might be ecstatic and euphoric while riding a tidal wave, but the reality of
the ride is what happens when it hits shore.

Just Some of What Defines Barack Obama:

.
He voted for partial birth abortion.

.
He voted no on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state
abortions.

.
Supports affirmative action in Colleges and Government (quotas).

.
In 2001 he questioned harsh penalties for drug dealing as being
too severe.

Says he will deal with street level drug dealing as minimum
wage affair.

.
Admitted his use of marijuana and cocaine in high school and
in college.

.
His religious convictions are very murky.

.
He is willing to meet with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Kim Jung
Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

.
Has said that one of his first goals after being elected would
be to have a conference with all Muslim nations.
Why?
.
Opposed the Patriot Act.

.
First bill he signed that was ever passed was campaign finance reform.

.
Voted to allow law suits against gun manufacturers.

.
Supports universal health-care.

.
Voted yes on providing habeas corpus for Guantanamo detainees.

.
Supports granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.

.
Supports extending welfare to illegal immigrants.

.
Voted yes on comprehensive immigration reform.

.
Voted yes on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social
Security.

.
Wants to make the minimum wage a 'living wage'.

.
Voted with Democratic Party 96 percent of 251 votes.
(241
votes Demo, 10 votes Republican)
.
Is a big believer in the separation of church and state.

.
Opposed to any efforts to Privatize Social Security and instead
supports increasing the amount of tax paid into Soc. Sec. Tax Increase.

.
He voted No on repealing the Alternative Minimum Tax which now
hits middle income brackets. Tax Increase.

.
He voted No on repealing the 'Death' Tax. Tax Increase.

.
He wants to raise the Capital Gains Tax. Tax Increase.

.
Has repeatedly said the surge in Iraq has not succeeded...which
is not true.

.
He is ranked as the most liberal Senator in the Senate today
and that takes some doing.

If your political choices are consistent with Barack Obama's and
you think that his positions will bring America together or make it a better
place, then you will probably enjoy the ride and not forward this Email.

If you are like most Americans that after examining what he stands for, are
truly not in line with his record, it would be prudent to get off the wave
or better yet, never get on, before it comes on shore and undermines the
very foundations of this great Country.
We have limited time to save
America or the Supreme Court as we know it.

America has NO future with McCain and Palin.

For me, this surreal moment - like the entire surrealism of the past ten days - is not really about Sarah Palin or Barack Obama or pigs or fish or lipstick. It's about John McCain. The one thing I always thought I knew about him is that he is a decent and honest person. When he knows, as every sane person must, that Obama did not in any conceivable sense mean that Sarah Palin is a pig, what did he do? Did he come out and say so and end this charade? Or did he acquiesce in and thereby enable the mindless Rovianism that is now the core feature of his campaign?

So far, he has let us all down. My guess is he will continue to do so. And that decision, for my part, ends whatever respect I once had for him. On core moral issues, where this man knew what the right thing was, and had to pick between good and evil, he chose evil. When he knew that George W. Bush's war in Iraq was a fiasco and catastrophe, and before Donald Rumsfeld quit, McCain endorsed George W. Bush against his fellow Vietnam vet, John Kerry in 2004. By that decision, McCain lost any credibility that he can ever put country first. He put party first and his own career first ahead of what he knew was best for the country.

And when the Senate and House voted overwhelmingly to condemn and end the torture regime of Bush and Cheney in 2006, McCain again had a clear choice between good and evil, and chose evil.

He capitulated and enshrined torture as the policy of the United States, by allowing the CIA to use techniques as bad as and worse than the torture inflicted on him in Vietnam. He gave the war criminals in the White House retroactive immunity against the prosecution they so richly deserve. The enormity of this moral betrayal, this betrayal of his country's honor, has yet to sink in. But for my part, it now makes much more sense. He is not the man I thought he was.

And when he had the chance to engage in a real and substantive debate against the most talented politician of the next generation in a fall campaign where vital issues are at stake, what did McCain do? He began his general campaign with a series of grotesque, trivial and absurd MTV-style attacks on Obama's virtues and implied disgusting things about his opponent's patriotism.

And then, because he could see he was going to lose, ten days ago, he threw caution to the wind and with no vetting whatsoever, picked a woman who, by her decision to endure her own eight-month pregnancy of a Down Syndrome child in public, that he was going to reignite the culture war as a last stand against Obama. That's all that is happening right now: a massive bump in the enthusiasm of the Christianist base. This is pure Rove.

McCain made a decision that revealed many appalling things about him. In the end, his final concern is not national security. No one who cares about national security would pick as vice-president someone who knows nothing about it as his replacement. No one who cares about this country's safety would gamble the security of the world on a total unknown because she polled well with the Christianist base. No person who truly believed that the surge was integral to this country's national security would pick as his veep candidate a woman who, so far as we can tell anything, opposed it at the time.

Let's be real if we voted Obama as president than his minister's words would ring more true than ever. This would be a God damned country! As for seperation of church and state...it's about time that somebody brought back the morals and virtues this country was founded upon!

God Bless America and McCain/Palin

Hey you guys who are voting for McCain. Are you actually listening to his commercials? I mean he keeps bringing the same stuff up. Like how Obama was supposedly friends with somebody who bombed the white house? Obama was only 8 years old. I mean you guys don't even know what your talking about your just repeating the commercials. I mean some of you guys don't even know how to spell Bush!!!

I cannot believe all of this trash talk---you guys are doing exactly the opposite of what you should be doing---you're dividing instead of uniting based upon nothing more than "empty" promises of change (and blah, blah, blah). You're doing exactly what these politicians want you to do, they're the puppeteers and you're the puppets!!! I ask: how much has your government really done to help the American tax payers---who are the pillars of our society, without whom our economy would completely fall apart---support their families and live that all American dream? When was the last time you received a gasoline voucher or a gasoline tax refund for the miles you travel back and forth to work so that you can support the economy? When was the last time the politicians took pay cuts, turned in their company vehicles and government funded vacation homes in order to avoid forcing another tax increase on the working men and women of our country? When was the last time you received a "real" tax or insurance break? When was the last time your government actually assisted you when you needed it sans a bazillion miles of red tape and hoops to jump through (cause if you're like any other American you're too young, too old, make too much money or don't make enough to even qualify)? When was the last time any elected official or career politician truly kept his word and did something for the good of the people instead of the growth of the government or special interest groups (i.e., big business, insurance companies, deep pockets, etc.)?

I support our country and the men and women who put their lives on the frontline for it---those men and women are the reasons we can sleep securely at night, why we can be thankful we live in a free country----and I too am insulted at any American running for the office of President who "sometimes salutes the flag and sometimes not" - what kind of crap is that? I support "legalized" immigration, securing our borders, freedom of religion, term limits, abolition of career politicians, a woman's right to choose, for English to be deemed as the official language of our country, for the word "God" to remain within our Pledge of Allegiance, for our National Anthem to NOT ever be translated or sung in any other language, the cessation of professional lobbyists who serve special interest groups with the most money and, mostly for the rights of the AMERICAN PEOPLE to be placed-ALWAYS-above and before those who are not. It was so many years ago that those who befriended terrorists were bound to be thought of as threats to the safety of our great nation--yet I somehow am supposed to be concerned or sympathetic a terrorists rights over mine? I'm sorry, can you please pass me that crack pipe you're smoking?

I personally, am sick of the years and years of nothing but empty campaign promises, higher taxes, less benefits, lies and deceit, and constant political party bickering which only serves to widen the gap----how can change ever be effected if all these two political parties ever do is agree to disagree? I'm tired of being over-taxed, over-worked, underpaid----LIED TO! I don't care what side of the fence you're on----Democratic, Republican, American Independent---what color your skin, hair or eyes are...and that shouldn't matter to you either. Right now, each derogatory, accusatory and personal attack I've read here shows that those particular individuals are no better than a group of kindergarteners arguing over who gets to sit next to the teacher during reading time (it's actually the same behavior being dispayed by our politicians...imagine that----you guys are great students).

Real change will only happen when the American people WAKE UP and stop letting the politicians divide us, put a stop to the inequities for all American citizens as perpetrated by our government, get rid of career politicians who suck our economy dry and we cease the wasteful and frivolous spending of our hard earned dollar. The Gettysburg Address (A. Lincoln) states: "A government of the people, by the people, for the people" but I think somewhere along the way we as American citizen lost sight of this.

Additionally, for any woman to chastise another who chooses to run for any state, local, corporate, county or government office, including V.P., should be ashamed of herself --- Rosa Parks, Susan B. Anthony, Ida B. Wells, Sojourner Truth, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton have go to be turning in their graves!

Lastly, for those of you who choose to throw out the race card here, you've only revealed your own ignorance---if you ever did any real genealogic studies you'd know that we are all descendents of Mother Africa anyway. Anyhow, anyone who uses the race card as a justification, argument or crutch is the one who is actually practicing and promoting racism...those who lack tolerance and its teachings are those whom I have profound pity.

At this point, God save the Queen (cause we may be back in her grasp someday the way this country is heading)----WAKE UP YOU GUYS!

Bless the USA!!!!

If you want Obama's national health care, please watch how FEMA handles the Ike disaster in Houston/Galveston. It is not about who is president. It is about how many bureaucrats run your lives. Vote Obama if you want your health care run by the same bureaucrats that handled the Katrina and Ike disaster.

I own about 14 acres of land, and a modest cabin in Alberta. Its surrounded by forest, lakes and streams; plenty of fish, game and wildlife for miles.

If Obama is elected president, I will leave this once great country and make the above my permanent residence.

Obama is the great divider and will absolutely destroy this country; every facet will be unrecognizable. I know that those who have been fooled by him cannot be shown the truth, and my heart is heavy with sadness for you. Millions of lives will be destroyed if your messiah wins the election.

I'm just wondering if anyone has listened to Obama's preacher ? I don't know about any body else but he sure scares me !!! Oh and before I forget Obama's "supposed friend" is William Aires and it wasn't the White House he bombed, { do the research) and he is associated with him. I don't like the shape this country is in either. My husband and I work very hard and times are tuff , but I will not roll over on my morals for "change"at least not the kind of change Obama wants!!!! Please everbody get the FACTS, NOT HEAR SAY!!!!! Also know that Bush doesnt make all the decisions by himself, you do know the Democrats are the majority in the House & the Senate, for how long now....hum ? And last of all we should not JUST turn to GOD in times of 9/11 or Katrina ,or any other horrible times!!!! This country was founded under God and we should not have to change that for anyone coming in this country or already in !!!!!!!
I wonder does Obama really think peolpe from Pa & Ohio
cling to guns and there religion???

GOD bless this country & our soldiers that PROTECT us !!!!!!

Better socialist than poor, but that's what the republicans have done for us over the past eight years. what kind of dummy votes to benefit the wealthly unless they are wealthy. I think if you want to vote republican, you should be prepared to pay for the 10 trillion dollar debt. and, you don't get the option of socialized healthcare (buy the way dummies, most of the civilized world has this already..it's not perfect, but if you got your head out of the sand and research it, you'd discover that it's good for business too).

Let the republicans pay the 10 trillion deficit!!!

to #40..

Dear #40, I too am deserting if McCain wins. I won't hang around and pay for your mistakes and those of a party that can't walk their talk!

#29, research McCain's voting record. do the same with Barack's career choices and ask yourself who is more genuine. Barack has had many career choices to make in his political life. I respect a guy who turns his back on high-powered legal practices and a 250k salary to instead work with the community.

Also, i wonder why Mccain has so many lobbyist and former lobbyists. and, why is the republican party running advertising for McCain using GOP money. Could it be that the republican party wants to retain power? so, they destroy any remnants of the economy that might be left over when Bush leaves?

Why can't you folks appreciate a good man when you see him(no, ..not talking about John here folks). Maybe you're all just hung up the 'black' think, huh?

woah, #37.

should i be discouraged at any of this. what do have against paying your taxes anyway? you shoulda been on the minnesota bridge when it collapsed. if you were, and still breathing, you'd want someone to spend some bucks on the crumbling infrastructure.

oh yeah, your republican, so you'd want that money to come out of medical care for poor children, huh? come on America. Take care of your own and stop running up so much debt.

BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!! WHO WANTS A 998967 YEAR OLD PRESIDENT WHO WILL DROP DEAD ANY DAY AND THEN PALIN? SHE NEED TO ENROLL IN AMERICAS NEXT TOP MODEL RATHER THAN RUNNING AS A VP C'MON NOW. ALL U WHO VOTED FOR BUSH SCREWED OUR COUNTRY UP, NOW U WANNA CONTINUE BY VOTING FOR SOMEONE WHO DIFFERS IN NOTHING. PAALLEAASEE --EF THE REPUBLICANS, ITS TIME TO LOOK OUT FOR THE LESS WEALTHY, AND ALL U 89 YEAR OLDS VOTING, REALIZE U WILL DIE SOON WE DONT NEED UR INPUT THANKS

DEMOCRATS ARE NOT FOR THE POOR AND REPUBLICANS FOR THE RICH, maybe back in the 1900's. Oh, I wonder who's going to pay for this "socialist" healthcare?!

Stop bashing people for who they are going to vote for. Just vote for who you think will better this country. Don't listen to the lies about either parties. Just sit down and do your research. Don't listen to the bashing that is going on to each other of either party. Just get the facts and follow your beliefs. Stop acting like children not getting their way. We are Americans and we have the right to vote for who we believe will better this country. I will be voting for who I believe will make this country safe for me and my family now and in the future. Who will make this country a place I love to call home. A place were me and my children will have the opportunity to better our education and have a good paying jobs for American Citizens. We all need health care, retirement plans and a good strong economy. So really people please think before you vote and stop putting people down for who they will be voting for. Just do your part and don't put someone down because you don't believe that who they are voting for is the best for the job (they may feel the same way about who you are voting for). No one is perfect we all make mistakes. Even the President of the United States is not perfect.

McCain and Palin will go and clean up Washington DC. The government is so corrupt and has been for years (Dems and Repubs both). They don't care about the people of America. McCain & Palin do. Their records prove it. Obama believes in partial birth abortions even in the last trimester. Does everyone know what that is?? The baby's head is delivererd and then crushed. Then the rest of the baby is delivered dead. if the baby that is aborted comes out alive Obama says the doctor has to leave it to die.The whole thing is DISGUSTING and INHUMANE. Sarah Palin is popular because she is "real" not a fake like Obama. Last week he was in Hollywood having a big party with Streisand, Speilberg etc. who all live in vaccum and don't have to worry about money. Wake up people.

I see that the majority of posters here are pro McCain/Palin and that is encouraging. The baby boomers (of which I am one) seem to be very reticent to vote for a candidate whose main focus is "change" but seems to have little substance to back it up with. We have become tired of the campaign promises and are more practical in our voting. I predict a win for McCain after a close race. The polls may show increasingly more and more support for McCain as the debates get underway.

McCain is the only choice for president. Obama is not ready to lead! McCain knows what he is doing and FIGHTS FOR OUR COUNTRY! Obama can't even put his hand over his heart! What kind of leader will HE be?

"There is something that all of you Obama supporters should note: The more senior voters are voting for McCain.

That is because after all they have seen in this world, they recognize what is real and what is not."

It's only because those old geezers don't want the U.S. to change. They're not ready for change.

And if you're against Obama just because of his name, then shame on your ignorant self. Obama will bring real change to the country, not the shit Bush has been dumping all over this country and that McCain plans to continue.

"Obama is not ready to lead!"

Well, do you think Palin will be ready to leave once McCain drops dead from a heart attack a month after he's been in office?
