McCain a short fuse Palin a dim candle

It is not a smart or safe thing to elect McCain and his hair trigger temper and put him in a position of total power, if he loses his temper with a reporter, or in a debate how can this guy think he can deal with the world. McCain has a short fuse and is getting a little slow on reason and seems to have no problem tossing out ethics to win as he has run to the extreme right that is tearing the republican party in pieces. Palin thinks Barney is a real dinosaur and the Flintstones was a documentary. As she runs with the same wing nuts that are destroying the republican party and at the extreme they are as nutting as the Iranians, So the last thing America needs is a dim candle and a short fuse in charge.

Hopfully not only with Obama and Joe from Scranton win but hopefully after the election is over the republican party will go home and give it self an exorcism as a man once said.

Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel and religion is the first. It only goes to show haw bad and for how long our schools have been failing to teach kids, and now some of the kids are grown up to be old fools. Like Barry Goldwater said when McCain came to Arizona, McCain is a carpetbagger. I think looking at what the far right economic trickle down economic plan has done, we have been carpet bagged enough. America does not need narrow greedy people wanting more needful things filled with hateful talk. We need solutions of the middle class and for our kids future. Time to put the mavericks back in the Crawford coral. McCain has 7 houses, and a 100 million dollars, and he is tight as a tic. If Barry was alive he would vote for Obama

Smearing Obama

People who call Obama a socialist are either ignorant or lying. The ignorant ones, it seems to me, are just trumpeting what they hear from conservative know-nothings who have a stake in smearing Obama.

For those who are looking for an intelligent, calm, mature, thoughtful leader, Barack Obama is indeed the only choice.

Also, for middle class Americans who want someone who understands their lives, I have an interesting fact for you.

Barack Obama: One house, one car (American)

John McCain: 8 houses, 13 cars (three foreign)

So who is the elite here? John McCain has over 100 million dollars and is focused on looking out for wealthy people. Barack Obama is for all the rest of us.

women are "more economically vulnerable" than men, says Susan Carroll

rebeca of TX is either a male, or a female contributing to the fact that women are the other half of the world population being the usually underpaid and easily replaced underdog.

Women should be the 'underdog' because God gave them the responsibility to carry and raise the future ??! Women in the US, and in other places of yesterday and today are subject to "politics" of males who think they know how to run and rule the world.

(reminder: the world is a hell to a lot of people, thanks to the "leaders")

Obama rather has an "ol boy" as running mate. That already speaks for itself.

By the way Obama is indeed a socialist. American education or yours is lacking if you think he is not.

And all his wealthy friends just have the money to keep him as a hobby.

They feel guilty for living in wealth every day, and taxes don't hurt if you have quite enough. Then, at the same time, they need the "underdog" to watch or buy whatever is making them more cash.

Obama needs a band-aid for his soul. Big house, big education and a big need to forget feeling guilty for all the spread wealth in the Obama household.

Next thing you know the US is a second Europe. Not a place to immigrate to make living or start a business, but a place to get free money every month, paid for by the stess out tax payer.

Be generous, help your neighbour, support charity and SHARE your wealth, don't let some "leader" with the x.. factor do it for you.

Govenor Palin

Govenor Palin is NOT Vice President material as she is lacking the intelligence, honesty and demeanor to lead Americans, let alone the folks in Alaska. She has raised the divisiveness of this nation to new levels in her speeches, which is a reflection of her past associations with the Alaskan Independence Party. Her denials of wrongdoing in the "Wootergate" scandel is an affront to the Alaskan Legislature and an indication of the problems she could cause as Vice President. There is now another investigation of coruption and bribery in the building of her home by contractors who received special treatment for new construction when she was mayor. Her most glaring problem is her destruction of a good man in Senator John McCain. Unfortunately, this brings us to the real problem. Senator McCain will lose this election for nominating such an incompetent and devisive person to the second highest office in the land. I do believe the American public is left with no choice but to vote for Obama for President rather than have Govenor Palin, as a naive and corrupt politician as Vice President. Sorry John.

Shame on you Mccain!!!

Shame on you McCain! You should be ashamed of your most recent low-ball attacks. Palin is an idiot but you should know better!

Palin

She is the best thing that has come through the political arena in a long long long time. The McCain/Palin ticket is the one we are supporting!!!

One thing about Obama.....look at his bedfellows, Ayers is just one of many who have questionable characters. Just like a hooker, Obama is, you get him and everyone he sleeps with to get a vote. You must really hate your children and grandchildren to vote for him.
