How to vote for John McCain

I'm French. I'm surprised to see that a lot of American people will vote (november 4th) for John McCain. This man, many years ago, killed a lot of people. This people still suffer from this american attacks in their country... John McCain will do the same thing than George W. Bush. John Mc Cain isn't pacifist but, there is an economic and financial crisis in the world, and the world needs a pacifist president in the USA. Because USA is the most important country in the world, because USA can change evevrything in the world! Please, thing about it...

obama

can u tell more about the things between pbama and john

To the independent voters...

Even you out there who belong to either the Dem or Rep parties and are still unsure...

Please, I implore, seek out truly independent journalism and compare the facts from each party.

Many of us have already made up our minds. We are now the peanut gallery, and a lot of the time do nothing but act as cheerleaders.

So, ignore us and go find the truth of it all.

Sarah The Shopper

At times like these we need Sarah the Shopper to pump up the economy. Think about the number os jobs she created by spending $175,000 on clothes. I can't wait to see how she spoils her out of wedlock grand daughter when he is born.

Back to Jimmy Carter

Paul Lehman of Wy, I think you are right. The "change" Obama wants is to go back to the failed Democratic policies of Jimmy Carter. Bill Clinton fought for NAFTA and free trade. Obama wants to renegotiate NAFTA and is against new trade agreements that will open new markets for goods produced by American workers, when the other country already has free access to our markets. Bill Clinton declared that "the era of big government is over. Obama proposes a government program for every problem.

CAPITALISM

AMERICAN CAPITALISM IS ABOUT TO CHANGE

Don't let politicians, particularly the next President-wanna-be implement legislation that will deconstruct the system at the core of American society.

Distractions and competencies

The political attacks are planned to distract from our thinking about capability to analyze and communicate, to have this capability to analyze and communicate result in good judgment in choosing advisors and in coordinating the best ideas for America, not just the simplistic ideas. The simplistic distractions are planned to keep voters from thinking about how much poor judgment (Like Keating Five, the relationship with the Bin Ladin family and the last eight years of agreeing with the administration on war and deregulation) costs Americans in resources and in life and limb.

The special interests and lobby groups want to buy government decisions on the cheap and take advantage of Americans without having to deal with the complex results that might cripple our nation. They get people from the top of their class to represent them and manipulate to take advantage. We are too lax about the possibility that we might be represented by those from the bottom of their class and that we might be making it easy for the special interest lobby groups to take advantage of us. Again!!! They "spread the wealth" from the middle class up to the rich who pay for their services.

Having effective and timely studies by our government led by those from the top of their class has been lacking at great cost to us all. We have lost planes due to neglect in the timely study of flight manuals. We have lost lives and livelihood due to neglect in the timely study of intelligence information. We have lost a solid economy due to neglect in the timely study of needed regulations and deregulations. We have lost our standing in the world due to neglect in the timely study of diplomacy and when and how to successfully use it. Our country has had to have an expensive surge with financial payments to those who would oppose and expensive bailout with hopes that these, although expensive, will fix some of the poor judgment and will work in the long run.

It is time to replace the simplistic attitudes and ideas useful in manipulation with a stronger understanding of ideas useful in doing the strong work needed to get us back on track. This needs to be led by a dedicated president from the top of his class, rather than by the special interest lobby groups who are carefully selected and paid to take advantage of America.

Again!!! Let's be careful in rebuilding our country's capabilities. We cannot buy off on Palin's advice not to be concerned about killing civilians. We cannot buy off on McCain's “I know how to” claims on how to win a war , fix the economy and so on. These are simplistic ideas of those from the bottom of their class, not based on effective studies. They are useful in delighting the emotions of supporters.

It is time to change our national diapers.

Things are quite a mess and we are all to blame. We elected them to office, reelected them, continued in our individual and national auto-pilot consumeristic mentality of blind spending while thinking short-term, looked the other way and now we are paying the price. We need to pull our thumbs out of our mouths and quit whining. We did it to ourselves!!

Vote for change!!

Put down your fears pick up your rears, take some friends to the polls and VOTE. Make a party of it. Have fun. This is our country so let's take it back from the politicians and give it to the public servants and let them serve. Let us not wait for them tell us how they are going to fix it. Let's get involved and TELL them how to fix it. VOTE!! It is your only chance to make a difference!!

Let's reward the honest public servants with recognition...then elect a new set before the old ones fall prey to corruption and become politicians. Let's jail those that lie to our faces, send our family members marching into a far away land in the name of ego, fear and greed. They plan for chaos because when the entire nation is looking in the wrong direction, the system can be magically manipulated and they reap huge profit. We look like the Keystone Cops to the rest of the world.

It is time for every American to turn off the tube, turn on the target-marketing filters, quit buying things we don't really need, cut up the credit cards if we can't afford to pay them off at the end of the month, take the butt of either hand, bonk ourselves in heads for getting sucked into believing that when the going gets tough, it is best for the economy to to spend, even if it means charging it to cards we can't pay off at the end of the month!!.

Go to a charitable thrift store with a good donating demographic because they have the highest quality goods for the best prices and buy good as new for $0.25 on the dollar or less. You save money and support charity all at the same time.

The only things we should buy new are the basics....underwear, socks, shoes, etc. We are just too busy, vain and lazy to do otherwise. Take the extra money you have at the end of every month and pay down your cards. You will be amazed how this works and how good you feel when you pay off those credit card debts and give the card company "the fist".

If we are to survive as a nation we must evolve by becoming individually engaged in better understanding how it all works, think long-term, and think about who will be our president beyond either Obama or McCain.

Do it NOW!!! VOTE for change!!

Barack Obama is not more intelligent

When Senator Obama stated he had visited "all 57 states" was that just shear stupidity or was he referring to the 57 states of Islam he learned in school? As far as judgement, he is and was a friend and associate of an avowed terrorist and his wife (also an avowed unrepentent terrorist), a radical racist anti-white, anti-American minister, a radical anti-American priest, and apprenticed under an avowed Marxist. He has NO executive experience. He voted "present" 130 times because he was hiding his true beliefs so he could run for president. He has been in the U.S. Senate for less than one term and has done nothing of note. He represented ACORN in court, provided over $800,000,000 to ACORN from the foundation he and the terrorist Bill Ayers served as board members together, then his campaign hired ACORN to "register" voters for him. ACORN has been indicted in several states for voter fraud and is under investigation in 14 states. Barack bought his house through a shady deal with a now convicted felon. Barack Obama used cocaine and admitted it. There is a serious question about him dealing cocaine too, but the liberal media won't investigate that. Obama is a wimp that would NEVER fight for his country, like many of the liberally endoctrinated college students today. He is an arrogent misfit and will destroy our country if elected. His wife is of the same cloth. Her thesis was anti-white. Apparently the majority of black Americans are racist too, since polls say 95% will vote for Obama. Senator McCain fought and bled for this country. He endured torture that would have made most of the bleeding heart liberals supporting Obama run crying to their mothers. He flew Americas fastest fighter aircraft, which requires quick thinking, superb reflexes, and intelligence. McCain has neer taken a dime of pork barrel earmarks. Obama has taken approximately $1,000,000 per day since he has been in the Senate. McCain is a man of honesty that holds to his word. Obama is a liar, with an example of promising to take public financing and then backing out at the last minute. Obama has seriously misrepresented his beliefs just to better his chances of election to the presidency. He is a true socialist. He believes that if you work hard and succeed in making some real money you must turn over a large portion of the riches you earned to the people that will not work and want to live on someone elses income. He believes that the government owes people a free healthcare program, instead of people standing on their own two feet and earning their own way in life. All these college kids that support him may as well stop trying to learn anything and trying to succeed, because the America Obama wants will take what you earn and give it out in the housing projects where many of the social leeches live.
