Also, McCain has picked Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as his VP.

You nailed that one, who's your insider.

Oh boy, Palin's 17 year old high school daughter is pregnant... The other side said nothing would be talked about over the subject, no shots made. But as always the Media is making sure they have their say.

I care about my gun rights and for me to keep them McCain/Palin have to win. This is going to be so close of a race.

Sometimes working for the FAA and having friends around the country at different airports helps.

Or just watch CNN at 7am in the morning when they say "A flight just left Juno for Dayton and we believe Palin is on the aircraft" ;)

The only thing funnier than that is actually voting for Obama.

Why? Are you happy with the way things are going right now? I really don't think you have seen the current situation in many, if not all, parts of the country. McCain isn't promising anything new; it's just going to be the same as Bush. Are you going to bring up the issue of experience? It's very likely that McCain might die during his term and Palin will be in charge, and that's pretty scary.  I hope you know something about her, because most people still don't. She has less experience than Obama, being a mayor of a small town and a governor, and that makes her qualified to lead the WHOLE country? Atleast Obama has experience in the Senate and has done many good things for Chicago, unlike Palin and her recent investigations . Bet you haven't heard about those. Troopergate? Bridge To Nowhere spending? Personal spending? What foreign policy experience does Palin have? She claimed she visited Iraq but an investigation proved that she went to the border but never actually set foot into the country, since she didn't have clearance to do so. So we are at a crisis with Russia, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan and you want someone to be in power who claims she can "see parts of Russia from here in Alaska" when asked about the situation in Russia!

Or are you just scared that a black man might have power and be able to make decisions? Oh now you are going to say he's Muslim, aren't you? What does religion have anything to do with this? Did he say that if he becomes President, everyone has to be a Muslim? This is America, a land of diverse people. This land never belonged to you, it doesn't belong to me, and it doesn't belong to him. We are in this country as a whole.

It was wrong for us to go into Iraq. Do you know why people like them attack us, like they did on September 11? It's because we have been in their country, telling them what to do. I'm sure you wouldn't like it if some foreign nation came into America, took over and told us what to do. The "terrorists" didn't even come from Iraq. Maybe if the US had focused on Afghanistan or Pakistan, we wouldn't have been going on for this long. Yes I'm grateful for the soldiers who gave up their lives to help keep our "freedom" but that doesn't mean that they want to keep fighting, nor do we. They are the ones who signed up for the army and wanted to fight; no one forced them to be in it.

Back the political side of this...I'd rather have something new and turn this country around rather than keep going with the same policies and hope that it will change something. If you think fighting your way through to gain support of other countries and settle problems is a good idea, have you paid attention to the last 8 years?

McCain is PROMISING change.  Obama on the other hand doesnt have any key factors in any economic policies at all.  If Obama is elected, enjoy your tax incentives while the nation crashes below your feet.  Taxing the wealthy, the people who hold this country together, will only come back and bite you right in the ass.  I personally believe that Palin is a great choice for a VP.  Have you ever listened to one of her speeches or are you just basing your assumptions on what the media tells you.  Dont worry, the media will always steer you on the right path.

How dare you accuse me of being a racist or having some disgust in whatever religion he is.  I personally have no problem with diversity, but it seems that you must since you have brought it up.  I didnt say anything about religion at all, so to answer your question about what religion has to do with this, my answer is NOTHING.

Saying bad things about what decisions were made 8 years ago with the war has nothing to do with now.  Are you percisting that we should just bail out with the war right now?  If so you are idiotic.

So to politics:  McCain promises economic goals whereas Obama doesnt have any clue about economics, but seems to only have a sight into socialist policies.

P.S. If you still believe that FEMA is terrible, like Obama, you are also wrong.

Why not? I'm just addressing a big issue that affects a lot of people.

And what would that be?

Why is she a great choice? Back up your statements. What can she do that Joe Biden can't? I've listened to her speeches, and I've also listened to all the others'. Have you ever noticed that McCain or Palin never talk about how they will address a problem? They just say the problem and that they will fix it. That's not very reassuring.

Quote

What I wrote before doesn't accuse you of being racist. Many people who don't like Obama always say something along the lines of his Muslim name.

Quote

Actually it does. If the choices had been different, maybe the country might have been better off today. You really think that all the money and resources spent on the war haven't contributed to our failing economy?

Quote
Are you percisting that we should just bail out with the war right now?  If so you are idiotic.
Did I ever say to pull our right now? Read my reply again. I said if they had actually focused on the countries that were responsible for the attacks, maybe we could have been done faster with this.

Quote

And what goals would those be? All I've heard come out of his mouth is "country comes first" and "that's not change we can believe in." If you paid attention to his speeches, you can tell he either doesn't know what he is talking about or is lying about it.

Quote

Don't take things out of context. He was referring to what they did and didn't do when Katrina came. If you don't know what I'm talking about, read this. This is where you got your assumption from. \/

We can talk about what happened for a few days in 2005. And we should. We can talk about levees that couldn't hold; about a FEMA that seemed not just incompetent, but paralyzed and powerless; about a President who only saw the people from the window of an airplane. We can talk about a trust that was broken - the promise that our government will be prepared, will protect us, and will respond in a catastrophe.

wow roshan, pretty good post. Ya i hate that soccer bitch Palin, and McCain has a 30% of dying in office. Palin didn't even know about bush's policies when she was asked about them during an interview, i'll try to dig it up but she just makes a total ass of herself in it.

Anyone who votes for Obama must first understand the basics of Economics.  Refer to the post above this one.

Oblivious to the facts.  Obama wants to redistribute the wealth in the country which has also been tried by many other presidents and has always failed.  Taking money away from the wealthy is going to result in less jobs overall.  McCain actually has a really good electricity and power policy.  I believe that nuclear power is an amazing way to go.  Did you know that 95% of France's power comes from nuclear power?  Obama on the other hand wants to invest lots of money into renewable energy, which coming from a pocket-pinching economy isnt the right way to go.
It seems that you believe that simple Socialist problems will have a huge effect on worldly economic issues.  Taxing the oil companies over seas is just going to make them raise the taxes and stir up different ways of making those profits back.  Yes both candidates both believe that we are very dependent on foreign oil, but why not create or own ways of finding our own oil.

So saying that people dont like Obama because of his Muslim name is the same as calling McCain old.  Yes McCain is going to be 72 on election day, but that would only be the oldest by a mere 3 years over any other president.  Both serve the same purpose of being completely irrelevant....


The war effort is a case that really only has on tie to both canidates.  McCain is only promissing that he will not let the terrorists win the war.  He sees that Americans along with other countries of the world have spent alot of resources and knows that it is for the better.  Moving the war to another part of a country is not going to help spending or resolution any better than it is right now.

I stand by my word, FEMA was not at fault when Katrina hit.  Learn the facts of what actually needs to happen for FEMA to step in and help.  Then read up on what happened around the time before and after Katrina hit.  Then you will find the answer to why you are wrong.
