Obama sucks!! He is a muzlim and he's not a christian either so even though he won he will get assanated!!

Obama

Vote for Obama

Mcain sucks

He is not a maverick, he is what America does not need.

America needs Democrats in office,

Good people are suffering from the republican lack of priorities.

America wants A president who makes sense and our current president doe not really make any sense

Look it is this simple just read the bible and the beliefs that God has and that we should follow. Do you think God would want an unborn baby to be terminated. I don't think so you know it should not be that hard to vote if we believe in God and follow what he tells us. May God help us with this election.

McCain

McCain nor any of the republicans every have EVERYONE's interest at hand.....you got to think of everyone that is here in AMerica...not just the rich or your business partners that don't have to worry about losing their home because they are stealing from the poor instead of trying to help them.....there are hard working people out here......they have wives, family and two or three jobs and still can't pay for the little things they have.................not in the Clinton years.....just seem weird to me......something happens when republicans get in office..............

Mccain

Vote For Mccain!

Obama sucks.

Mccain is the better choice in leading governement.

No matter what!

Election

GO MCCAIN!!!!!! I really want McCain to win, his isussues are WAY more important than Obama(boo)!

Who is the big spender exactly?

Astonishing that my fellow citizens seem not to remember who it was that spent the country to the bridge of disaster. Who it was that inherited a surplus and managed in 8 years to produce a 10 trillion dollar deficit and a budget short fall of 455 billion in 2008. Who it was that was forced to nationalize the banking system (socialism?). And please, please remember that ALL taxation spreads the wealth. That is it's intention. Taxes are used by the Federal Government for many social purposes, to effect many of our behaviors. So, come on, pay attention and try to refrain from exhuberant demonizing of your opposition.

Al Queda wants McCain

Osama's plan was to attack us to provoke a response that would bankrupt us. With the great leadership of George Bush and the Republican party, aided by the gutlessness of many Democrats, he has succeeded. The think tank that gave us Cheney, Rumsfeld,and Wolfowitz, and the plans we followed in the war, has given John McCain the majority of his foreign policy advisors. Those that have liked the war in Iraq will like the wars we get if McCain is president, because he will be listening to the same type of advisors as Bush.. Anyone who wants to learn more about this should research the "Project for the New American Century."

insanity

Why would this great nation of ours cater to the exact thing that our enemies would love to see? Obama as president of the United States! What is it we like about him? Is it his plans for increased spending? Or is it the idea to take from those who make the conscious effort to sacrifice and work harder so they can make more money and give to those who choose to be lazy. If the government can be allowed to get away with this, then what about the generation after us? Will the government be able to take some of my land away because I might have two acres but my neighbor only has one?

Monster

What have we created, a cult-like monster, or even worse a 3-headed monster, Obama-Pelosi-Reid? It is the biggest well-fare system, wiht big government-control and big spending, as a result people will have less and less freedom. All who work will be punished or taxed to pay for well-fare, and finance big spending. It is the policy of the Democratic Party, and Obama is the worst kind, extremist leftist. He is simply the reincarnation of Jimmy Carter + George Bush, and will cause deeper recession, or even a Great Depression. Is it America's destiny, we will have Joe Biden, end eventually Michelle Obama, as our future presidents. After all, is Barack Obama still a cigarette-smoking playboy, at least we all know he is still smoking, and chances are he will have lung-cancer or throat-cancer? American people are smarter than that.
