John Mc Cain and Sarah Palin are members of a wicked gang of neocons who have damaged the economy of this country and started unnecessary wars that cost us billions of US$ and thousands of the lives of our young and brave soldiers. They have lied to all Americans about WMD in Iraq and unfortunately got us stuck in a quaqmire with no way out in the near future.Nobody can trust or tolerate such wicked clowns for another presidential term under any circustances. The proper place for John Mc Cain is a suitable oldman house, not the White House nor even the Senate.

elections

In response (to Vis of AZ) He said "I am surprised that EVERYONE on the democratic side is GOING CRAZY against anyone with a different opinion...."....HELLO do you see anything wrong with that sentence ????? It is not ALL on either side just the extremeist (in anything) that are the problem.

Again I have wasted my time reading a left wing biased subjective article. Why don't you say what party affiliation the author is, and we can quickly know what your comments will be.

Is there any objectivity in the media?

Elections

I am surprised by the fact that everybody on the democratic side is going crazy against anyone with a different opinion than theirs. From a different opininion to insults and hideous attacks, trying to destroy somebody just because he has a different opinion is senseless. You are not accepting a dialog, you are just trying to impose on everybody your ideas. The same thing with the extremists in Middle East, you have a different ideea, different opinion, religion they want to behead you. There is no difference at all. Start to use common sense, be willing to listen and before anything, read, check and check again, get educated and make educated judgments. Back in Eastern Europe people like these made possible a Hell named Comunism, and it started in the same way, with help from a lot of uneducated, uninformed, narowminded people. By the way Hitler started being a socialist, Lenin, Marx and Engels the same. And all of them were gifted speakers. And they destroyed a lot. Just a tought. Thank you for reading. You may start thinking now.

Obama

Obama's past REALLY needs to be checked out.. such as, there is a law suit going on now demanding he show a valid US Birth Certificate. Why is he fighting the law suit? Why not just give the proof that is being requested...IF he has it! He has not fought a fair election he agreed to contributions and then refused to honor his word! Which left McCain at a disadvantage.

So right off the bat he was dishonest. I want our boarderes kept safe McCain will do that!

Christian Values?

allie of SC,

Which Christian Values are you referring to? "Love your enemies"? "Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit those in prison"? "Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth"? Or just "Abortion is murder"? Funny, I don't remember Christ ever mentioning abortion or gay rights in the Sermon on the Mount. But he talked a lot about helping others, being meek and humble, and how it hard it will be for a rich man to enter heaven.

VOTE MCCAIN PALIN!

CHRISTIAN VALUES!!!!

Obama's Blame Bush Game Blame Obama and his ACORN cronies

It is no wonder

Keep a positive attitude. Reagan beat Carter with a landslide and the polls had the same percentages. Cheer up, vote republican, and back Mc Cain on the spending freeze and off shore drilling. America needs non government jobs, and smaller government. Sure you know this. We should focus on answers and solutions. Obama points to problems which are not caused by Bush. Mc Cain has answers. Obama and the dems should put up some real solutions, or shut up. He keeps trying to fault President Bush for the economy when the blame should be on him and his ACORN cronies.

Media lead the directions

Just like attacking Hillary from beginning in the primary campaign, almost the whole media has one thought - attack McCain! Only one thing stands in their mind, prefer young and fresh, pop star style. The media hate those aged, long public service, more thoughtfull people than those who have less moral, selfish, and avoid voting on majore decision (afraid the effect on his politic career ), put himself in front of thye country and people. Why can't you (the media),just report, let us make the decision?

McCain's character

For Brent Dunlap of UT. University of Texas at Austin?

University of Tennessee? I am graduate of UT at Austin.

On the subject of character. Good description in the US News of the strenghts and weaknesses of both candidates.

The character of the man or woman running for President is important! For more information on McCain: A recent article in "Rolling Stone Magazine." It alos raised some very real questions about how maverick John McCain may really be:
