A billion dollars in giveaways.

Obama did ask for all the emarks, spending almost a billion dollars in his short senate time. He and the other liberal illuminati will spend, and then we'll continue to borrow, and be in debt to other countries.

Pro Life

One question for those choosing to vote McCain/Palin based solely on the pro life issue:

Can you guaranty that Roe vs. Wade will be overturned if McCain/Palin are elected?

Think about this, seriously. If it cannot be guaranteed that abortion will be made unlawful in the U.S., Americans will be left with the rest of the McCain/Palin initiatives as well as continued abortions.

Without that guaranty, my vote will go to Obama/Biden because they have an actual platform for the economy, for healthcare cost reduction to families, for primary/secondary/college education, for tax breaks for true middle class Americans who, like myself, are struggling more and more as we move toward retirement age.

This is a really difficult decision for me. I'm Catholic and I am anti-abortion. In my prayers I want to believe that electing McCain/Palin will put an end to abortion in the U.S. but I have very strong feelings that the issue of abortion will fall fast by the wayside because there are so many other issues that need to be addressed before anyone can even focus on abortion.

obama

I am sixteen, this election is the election that will make or brake my generation. In my opinion, Obama is the best bet, and i think the callow and incompetent people who base their opinions off of his religion are sadly mistaken. It's called separation of church and government, I wouldn't want a president to rule our country based on his religion. Not everyone has the same beliefs.. obviously. I believe Obama has the best platform,with or without military experience, he has a great head on his shoulders. McCain.. has Palin, genious. Palin is nothing but a ditz, she smiles for the camera, and repeats after McCain. The only reason McCin chose her was because he'd have a slight chance if he brought a woman into the candidacy. No McCain is not all bad, but he is very biased, and he makes very rash decisions that could ruin this country (hince Palin). I just think Obama could run this country better than McCain, well Palin since McCain isn'y looking so good.

Gobama.

ITS TIME TO FEAR, FEAR

BARRICK CHAVEZ OBAMA ELECTION MEANS 4000/5000 DOW

lawrencehoule@yahoo.com

Roosevelt said - " The only thing to fear is fear itself. Well - ITS TIME TO FEAR, FEAR. Upon Obama's election, the Dow will collapse to 4000/5000. Obama's election with his income distribution and high taxes means the DESTRUCTION OF THE MIDDLE CLASS - A DOW OF 4000/5000 turns 401k's into WORTHLESS paper.

Obama is America's Hugo Chavez. His high taxes and income redistribution will turn US into Venezuela. These policies like communist and socialist ideas lead to the destruction of the middle class and the impoverishment of the entire country. Venezuela was an incredibility rich country with a thriving middle class. Now it is an ECONOMIC DISASTER. The middle class was destroyed. If you want a SOCIALIST PARADISE like Venezuela vote Obama.

OBAMA: GREAT DEPRESSION: 10%/15% UNEMPLOYMENT AND $10.00/GALLON/GAS

Obama high taxes means a SECOND GREAT DEPRESSION, 15% unemployment and his Iraq policies will lead to collapse of Iraqi government and oil soaring to $200.00/barrel and $10.00/gallon of gas. IRAQ IS AT THE CENTER OF THE OIL PRODUCING UNIVERSE. If Iraq falls oil will soar out of sight. This is the answer to Obama’s Afghan nonsense.

mccain...

i really don't see why you should elect another bush to be president,why not change.bush is going down to be the worse president in history,and if mcCain wins he would be following the footsteps bush as walked through.obama is the way to go!!! :)

To the mike of NC

If mcCain wins, the world wont exist in 2 years time as we will have bombed Spain and Russia with N Bombs and they would retailiate etc. So very clearly you do not know anything about geopolitics

obama

hector for president.........vote obama

Of Palin vulgarity

I hate McCain and the arrogance he stands for. However even that pales with the Palin character who oozes vulgarity and profanity, which i am sure she words a lot in her private conversations

Sarah is .......

Sarah Palin is without a doubt the second most stupid person on planet earth. Obviously she caanot beat the most stupid person on earth, as this is the idiot sitting in the white house currently. The fact that he got elected is worrying and if we Americans havent learnt, then God must Bless America for things not to go wrong under a McPain administartion. Imagine Toad palin running the administartion from the Oval Office. Oh, horror of horrors

As a mathematician i can see that using McCains model will result in four sceaniors-gloom, doom, disaster or collapse. Need i say more-You do the mathematics
