NOT voting for McCain

As a small business owner I contacted the McCain office here in Phoenix (my office is a couple blocks away from his) to voice a concern given his talk of being for small business. My father was a Republican and was active in the GOP, volunteering on a previous campaign. I received no reply (or a reply that he was not going to reply). I am not convinced that someone who says they are "for me" as it were, and who does not them address my concern as one of his constituents in Arizona (Phoenix, no less), will "be there" for me as President. I, and my family and friends are now converts and we are voting for Obama.

Stuttering and stammering

I don't think stuttering is a bad thing when you don't have a prepared speech. Try getting up in front of thousands of people and coming up with a speech off the top of your head. McCain does it too, and even more so when he HAS something prepared.

Further, if you want to talk about shady connections, what about the Clintons with Whitewater and McCain with the Keating 5? Not to say that I don't respect them, but don't make it seem that other candidates are shining pillars of morals and values.

Finally, you want to talk experience, McCain hasn't even served on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Obama is actually the chairman of the sub-committee on European Affairs, and now has Joe Biden on his ticket. I trust him more on foreign affairs than I do McCain.

NOT!!!!!!!

I am a baby boomer (age 56), and I will vote for Obama in November. He is the right person for the job at this time. There is no doubt in my mind. All my baby boomer friends will also vote for Obama.

PUMA Forever!

Is it a prerequisite for PUMA membership that a person be hugely fat with a loud mouth or some sort of soft boi?

well...

who cares?? honestly, who cares? if these women can't get their act together and support obama then they deserve to lose their right to control their own bodies. too much is at stake to flirt with the idea of support johnny mcbush.

wake up.

Give me a break, of course he's using Clinton

Hey um, collossal has 2 ss and if Barack is so ignorant than how did he defeat one of the most well-oiled political machines? Actually, he has a very fine mind, unlike that of McWar and McBush and he WILL make a good president. Finally, the terrorism thing is really old. Of Course there are global hot spots that we need to pay attention to, but we are not an empire and in case you haven't noticed, we pretty much suck at colonialism. Getting off oil should be the first priority and your guy is happy to spend his time riding rigs to show how in the pocket of big oil he is. Fill your tank, support a Saudi. Good job... Oh and is anyone else sick of the Republican fear and smear card when their actual policies SUCK. Please, you want more of the same losers?

Glittering man of personal weakness, collosal ignorance. Sounds like McBush. Thank you.

MCCAIN & HILLARY TICKET - MCCAIN'S NEW AD

In John McCain's new ad, which can be viewed at

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8Ta8IZ9sa0

McCain states that Hillary won millions of votes.

Hillary did win a good portion of democrats' votes.

If McCain is sincere, and genuinly belives Hillary

would be the best vice president (as his ad suggests),

maybe McCain will "reach across the isle" and ask

Hillary to join him on his ticket. That would mean

McCain would have all the republican votes, and

also a good portion of the democrat votes.

It seems like McCain would be smart to select Hillary.

On the other hand, if McCain is just USING Hillary

for his own personal agenda in a mud-slinging campaine,

then shame on McCain for using Hillary, or for using any

woman with so little regard, to satisfy his own desires.

If McCain is not for responsible change, is not willing

to reach across the isle to work with both republicans

and democrates, and if his belief in Hillary as a good

VP candidate, are all lies, then why on earth would any

woman who respects Hillary Clinton support McCain??

We'll have to wait till John McCain announces his

running mate to see just how genuine he is, or if

he is simply using Hillary to further himself.

See McCain speaking to the press:

jeff's right on..

This man has inspired a cult of young people that say they will vote for obama because "he's a rock star". How many times did we hear that one! well, he has said nothing so far, he's a man that was thrown into this position and seems to realize he is somewhere that he doesn't belong. Like a "stranger in a strange land". He can hardly speak unless it is in front of him written down, he is filled with uuhh's and stammer and stutter and it is a sad mess! What we don't need is a sock puppet president! a president that all of Islam is praising! Nope that is not good.
