No Choice At All!!!

Obama already has a cabinet started and plans, McCain only has bullstuff & lies. No choice in my mind!!!

Economic tsunami, depression

Our country is fixing to fall apart economically , negatively affecting about 90% of our working families.The 10% who are still doing quite well as is are the minority; CEOs in the oil industry and Wall Street. Troubled waters we're in and the main theme of McCain's campaign speeches are almost exclusively about negatism and wild, unsubstantiated accusations of terrorist association by Obama.Evidendly McCain has tanked out with sound ideas to put us into a recovery after the election.John McCain, I served in the u.s. military for 30 years and during my time in active duty you were a respected leader in the country. Most of the men that served with me have nothing but good vibes about your judgement, character. In the past two years, you have changed completely, unfortunately to the negative spectrum.You're an angry man.. a sad man.Even your own office staff have characterized you as being very easy to going to the "deep end" when discussing issues important to the country. Your earlier years demeanor of being calculating, measured, deliberate and patient when engaged in national issues has gone to the dumps, abolished; obviously to your own self-serving motive...dementia,narcissisticm coming to roost? Mr. Obama, America in the most desperate, compelling, profound ways need your leadership now!

McCain/Palin Personal Attacks

Who is funding Sarah Palin's attempts to potentially incite violence against that "terrorist pal" Obama. Where is the Secret Service on this?? Some of those crowd responses are getting frightening!

The Old Geezer and Gidget have become dangerously desperate.....

Morally bankrupt

The Republicans are morally bankrupt. They are going down hard this year and there is nothing they can do about. Let's drive a stake through the heart of "Movement Conservatism" once and for all and start a center-right coalition that will govern for the next thirty years. It will take that long to repair the damage that started with Reagan and the deregulation worshippers.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08 - Virginia is turning blue this year!

Mark Warner for Senate!!

Send Sarah back to Moosebreath Alaska to her impeachment hearings!

Clueless McCain

John McCain has admitted until recently that he has no understanding of economics. His economic plan was not put together by him, it was Bush's people who created it. He will not do well in the debate if he tries to explain or justify it. He has a history of calling for less regulation, and chose the father of banking deregulation, Phil Graham, as his top economic advisor. He will need to change the focus of the debate to attacks based on red herrings to do well. Expect a lot of lies from him tonight

The Economy

Voters always give the president too much credit when things go well and too much blame when things don't. Even when the president is from one party and congress is controlled by the other it is the president's party that is held responsible. So the current situation favors Obama.

If the voters wanted real change, they could start by voting every incumbent in congress out of office. That is true change.

No matter who is elected president, things will not change very much.

For McCain

Last Mondays speech by Speaker Pelosi, They always omit the part about how the surplus can to be. The reform of the Welfare Program. The Democratic Party will always placate to the poor, the be lived down and out. They new in 1990's that the sub-prime market would play in votes. In 1999 they deregulated the market. And the smugness of the The Demo,s Three{Pelosi,Franks' and Schuller} principle Jesters. Have played the American Voters again. The idea of a National Health Care Program. Will once again take us into a third fraud program, Welfare Fannie Mae and now Health Care. We can pray that enough voters will see thru the Democratic Party's current level of Demagoguery. But the prise us and will be the available seats on the Supreme Court.

Lord Jim

Jim Of Missouri ,are you trying to compensate for Harry Trumans racist upbring or the Missouri Klans vast membership in the 20th Century, save yourself the angst & misplaced guilt.Love your race dude,after all WE put men on the moon - while the rest of the earthbound are resolved to offering "sacrifices" to appease it. which of the candidates (write in -if neccesary)truly can relate to you & be your advocate.

McCain & Palin Association With Criminals

Palin has a very close relationship with a very radical anti-American:

Todd Palin, Longtime Former AIP Member - Alaskan Independence Party

"Palin's husband Todd was a member of the AIP from October 1995 through July 2002, except for a few months in 2000. He is currently undeclared"

third-party ("Alaska First -- Alaska Always") that wants Alaskans to get a vote on whether or not <b>the state can secede from the U.S. But her husband was a long-time member, </b>and at least two AIP officials recall her attending the 1994 convention, though she says she did not attend.

<b>Todd Palin broke the law </b>by not showing up to answer questions about the trooper investigation.

<b>McCain's relationship with G. Gordon Liddy a radio host and convicted Watergate burglar?</b>

Liddy is, one should note, unrepentant for his crimes on behalf of Nixon.

Liddy has acknowledged preparing to kill someone during the Ellsberg break-in "if necessary"; plotting to <b>murder journalist Jack Anderson;</b> plotting with a "gangland figure" to <b>murder Howard Hunt</b> to stop him from cooperating with investigators; plotting to firebomb the Brookings Institution; and plotting to <b>kidnap "leftist guerillas"</b> at the 1972 Republican National Convention -- a plan he outlined to the Nixon administration using terminology borrowed from the Nazis. (The murder, firebombing, and kidnapping plots were never carried out; the break-ins were.) During the 1990s, Liddy reportedly instructed his radio audience on multiple occasions on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents and also reportedly said he had named his <b>shooting targets after Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Liddy has donated $5,000 to McCain's campaigns</b> since 1998, including $1,000 in February 2008.

McCain has <b>appeared on Liddy's radio show</b> during the presidential campaign, including as recently as May.

<b>Listen to McCain on Liddy's show on 11/10/07</b> http://tinyurl.com/4k8f28

Check out Liddy's many radio programs that strongly support McCain

in November McCain praised Liddy for his adherence “to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great,” Chapman reports.

Excuse my less than great typing skill.

Don't let the typos devalue my assertion.
