Who to vote for, in a few weeks not as easy as it seems!

I am a proud to be an American for 15 years, I love this country, I cried the day I swear to become a true citizen, and sat by many who spoke different language like me, wanting the same thing like me, desiring the same thing like me.

I came from Italy where my grandfather worked as a Fascist Captain in the army, under of course Mussolini. The history and photos, letters that I've seen and read, the stories that I heard from my father and mother my grandmother and tears, the loss of many, and many tears I've seen, the news I on TV when I was a little girl of people killed, right in front of my eyes of the Holocoust. To me that History is not really History is part of my growing up and generation I've seen what the Germans had done, and Mussolini had done, and my grandpa had done in Africa, and unfortunately what many other had done.

Many made an oath that day 15 years 1/2 ago with me because they knew what the principals of this great country were, they knew what this great country trusted in, they knew what the value and moral were based on.They knew there was freedom!!! That was just not too many years ago!

And now... it's seem such a different world to me. People are not united anymore, they don't believe in each other, greed, power, wow!!! History seems to be repeating its self, with one difference, the umpire is not falling anymore in the old worlds, and country's.

All of us studied history some of us lived it, some of us still remembers it, what I see, in Obama, Biden - McCain, Palin is the rising of nothing else than a new couple of

people that means well, overpower by greed and power, and too many wealthy people, without counting old politician.

I seen it before it will happen again, the great and wonderful new loved soo loved world, the great America Umpire will come tumbling down. Who to vote for? I don't know, one knows too much, even the corners to avoid, the other one is so nice and naive, that he might forgive even the one that is going to pick his pocket couple of times.

Good intentions are to be respected, but they also come with great responsibility, of promises to keep.

Mussolini started with great intentions, but fail to keep some of his promises, he had strength and love for his people, but because of greed he lost many lives, money, lands, he believed in a God, and in the end brought the Devil into our county and into many others.

We are not even close of what Europe ever was back then, but in 15 years, education, has really taken a dive, America public school are having trouble, stock market, housing, wars, families health, jobs, industry, farming, health care. Overall the government can't even have a conversation with each other without blame-ing it on Johnny.

Let's go back to second grade for a second may be a teacher can fix the government.

Overall I know they mean well but where is the integrity that everyone wants?

Where is the Honesty?

We just need someone to lead us foreword, with integrity young or old

John McCain

What America needs now is youthful vigorism.McCain is a good man but he too old and too tied up to the past and will not offer any new ideas to make America great again.

Confidencail candidate John McCain

Who can believe that a strongest candidate like McCain is coming to serve the world from terror. He is the men that the world was waiting, He is the one, that the men, son, women were waiting for to rescue the world. america people wake and vote for McCain, the only candidate that the world trust.

He can do what God has not done on earth, John can do.

Dump McCain!!

John McCain is going to get steamrolled on November 4th by an empty suit (Obama), and there is really nothing that McCain can do to iron out the wrinkles in his own already “empty suit”.

I, being someone who will not "pick flies out of sh*t" in my choice for a presidential candidate, neither McCain nor Obama is qualified for our nations' most important job. McCain will have to choose a real dope for his running mate in order to prevent being overshadowed and having his lack of substance revealed.

The best thing that we can do is NOT nominate him at all and choose Ron Paul instead at the GOP convention in September!! Ron Paul is more than qualified, has a plan that will work and will lead our nation honorably. Ron Paul can raise the money, get people excited and has the best chance of beating Obama of all the other Republican candidates. The GOP would be foolish not to nominate Ron Paul! This will also explain why Ron Paul’s “ Rally for the Republic “ will most definitely overshadow John McCain’s presumptive nomination at the dull Republican National Convention down the street.

It's not too late to admit that McCain is a bad choice and to remedy the situation. If no one is excited about McCain now, they surely won't be two months from now. Get the geezer out now so we won't have a 1996 repeat of Bob Dole! McCain can't win if he doesn't have the support of the conservative base and nothing is going to change that, plain and simple! There will not be a last minute reprieve by disgruntled Republicans this time around to save him when most people are finally rejecting the worn-out lesser of two evils argument. If McCain remains as the nominee until November, he will destroy the Republican Party and run its members out to most likely join the Libertarian or Constitution Party, or simply drop out of the voting process all together. This wouldn't necessarily be a bad scenario as long as these people are not continuing to do the same thing that yields the same bad results. It’s time to “Dump McCain”!!

Move to National Popular Vote for President

To make every vote in every state politically relevant and equal in presidential elections, support the National Popular Vote bill.

The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states (and DC). The bill would take effect only when enacted by states possessing a majority of the electoral votes (270 of 538). When the bill comes into effect, all the electoral votes from those states would be awarded to the presidential candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states (and DC).

The National Popular Vote bill has been approved by 21 legislative chambers (one house in CO, AR, ME, NC, and WA, and two houses in MD, IL, HI, CA, MA, NJ, RI, and VT). It has been enacted into law in Hawaii, Illinois, New Jersey, and Maryland. These states have 50 (19%) of the 270 electoral votes needed to bring this legislation into effect.

hillary obama

awenshok46 of TX wrote one of the funniest comments ever, hilarious!

Is McCain that white haired wrinkled guy? Mccain is the poster child for carpet baggers. McCain is running a disgusting campaign and should be ashamed of himself. You have to wonder, if he is willing to pull sophmoric antics during his campaign, what is to stop McCain from being sophmoric in the White House. McCain is an old tired wannabe...who never will be.

Bilary to support Obama

In off the record remarks, both Bill and Hillary have expressed support for Obama and endeavored to make sure that their repoir with Obama sits on a solid foundation. Citing her husband's presence in their office in Harlem, Mrs. Clinton pointed out that they'd sourced their office cleaning staff from the local area and both had been in convenience stores run by Koreans that 'seemed unnecessarily pricey.' Bill expressed his love of jazz and basketball and reminded everyone that 'in the dark,we're all pretty much the same'.

Convention antics

If Obama names a man for VP, McCain will name a woman and attempt to ride the Hillary thing to an undeserved victory for Republicans. Obama needs Mrs. Clinton to avoid this trap. Let's hope he is as smart as advertised.
