McCain-Palin for poor and middle class

Obama does not know what its like to be poor.Obama is in this election for his own gain mostly his popularity.You should at least know how many states there is he has stated several times he has campaigned in 57 states and has 10 more to go.Where has he been campaigning it must be more than the USA.To be 1st lady you should love your country Michelle has said she has never been proud of her country and the USA is mean.I have always been proud of my country right now I am not to proud of a lot of ctizens who want to vote for Obama.We and Sarah Palin are like the voters in Pa we cling to our guns and religion.I love God and believe in the 2nd amendment we have a right to own guns.Most people would not sit in a church for 20 yrs that taught hate and racism what do you suppose he learned there but hate and racism against whites.If we elected someone with hate for white people what kind of government will that be?Obama wants laws passed for gay marriages and partial birth abortions and your teen could get abortion without you being notified.Marrige is for a man and a woman and i want to know if my teen is laying risking her life and i don't believe in murder.Obama hollows he is a christian he better read his Bible about murder and sexual sins.He knows he can't do the things he promises but just says anything trying to get elected.Lets elected people who love their country and will work for us McCain and Palin is our only choice.I have been voting 40 yrs I voted for Hillary I have always voted democratic Never in that 40 yrs have I voted republican but in November i will for the 1st time vote republican I will vote McCain.We need people in office who love the USA and McCain does.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hammonton, New Jersey. July 8, 2008.

A new web site was launched on July 4th with the hope of having a significant impact on this year's crucial Presidential election. The web site, www.DemocratsforMcCain.com, targets Democrats that find Senator Barrack Obama wanting and, more importantly, those Democrats that will be voting for Sen. John McCain come this November.

"We believe that our site will reach out to all of the Democrats for McCain – the Democrats that have the courage to acknowledge that they will cast their vote for John McCain in November," states Frank Pinizzotto, Director of Development, for www.DemocratsforMcCain.com.

"Why Courage? How many Democrats have you spoken to that are willing to admit that their Party Candidate is not ready to take on the office of President of the United States? President Obama? I might vote for him in '16, but not now. Not today. Three years in the Senate makes not a good President of the Free World. I have spoken to a lot of Democrats for McCain, but they have been up until now unwilling to publicly speak out. A new silent majority. A middle class, hard working majority that cannot trust their future to someone so untested. No one can say that John McCain is not ready. He has been tested like no other Presidential candidate in the history of our country," continues Pinizzotto.

"Many Democrats, and Independents alike, feel more comfortable with John McCain. His record of bi-partisanship. His military record. His record in the Senate. People know what they are getting with John McCain. Organizers of DemocratsforMcCain.com hope the site will free up the 'silent McCain majority' and start a real discussion about the qualities that are needed for the next President of the United States."

The site is hoping to reach supporters/volunteers nationwide to help spread the word that it is "okay to support McCain, not matter what you are registered as at the polls", claims Pinizzotto. "Joe Lieberman is just the start of this movement. Once Democrats learn more about John McCain, they will see that he is ready, and ready today, to be President. We think that www.DemocratsforMcCain.com will have an impact on who gets sworn in as the next President of the United States. And that person will be John McCain."

RE: REAGAN DEMOCRATS

DEAR REAGAN -

I TRIED TO LOOK UP THE REAGANDEMOCRATS.COM. IT'S NOT THERE. ARE YOU STILL POSTING? ANOTHER IS "REAGAN DEMOCRATS BACKING MC'CAIN "ON THE MC'CAIN BLOG.

RE: REAGAN DEMOCRATS

I AGREE WITH "MC'CAIN DEMOCRAT." AS A BLUE DOG DEMOCRAT, I FEEL SEN. MC'CAIN HAS MORE TO OFFER. WE HAVE TO PUT THE NATION FIRST. AS SEN. LIEBERMAN SAID.

DemocratsforMcCain.com

I think I was ahead of you and the curve on this one.

Being dissatisfied with Bush in 04 and not being able to vote for Kerry, I bought the following domain names in July of or: writeinMcCain.com, DemocratsforMcCain.com and DemocratsforJohnMcCain.com.

I was recently contacted by the RNC which had a desire to purchase the domain name democratsforMcCain.com. But they offered a rather insignificant sum. The DNC and the Clinton, Obama and McCain campaigns have shown no interest.

So what could I do? I do not have the time, talent, expertise or money to get such a site up and running. So I have listed them for sale on e-bay. If anything, this has been a fun ride.

Thought you might like to know that we appear pretty smart right about now: you with an article about this hot topic in the campaign and me buying these domains four years ago.

McCain Democrat

If Obama is the dem. nominee, I will vote McCain. I like moderates as leaders and check and balances (Rep. president w/Dem Congress and vice versa).

Also, I can't seem to name 1 (EVEN 1 ) important political accomplishment of Obama. To Obama supporters: name 1 accomplishment of your high holiness. Cmon, just one.

Each to their own reality

I tend to agree with Robyn, Jane. I, too, voted for Reagan in the 1980's, but unless McCain turns back to his historically moderate stances (which, after his latest announcements seems unlikely), I'm voting for any liberal the Democrats put up. Why? Because after 8 years of 'compassionate conservatism', we have 4200 American soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines dead (with tends of thousands wounded), an economy in the toilet, an ecology raped by favoring corporations over Citizens and the reputation and prestige of the United States of America tossed in the dump for no apparent reason except to ensure the price of oil stays high. With 'leadership' like that, and with McCain now publicly supporting it all, I can't support him, regardless of any campaign promises. Back in 04, I would have supported him. Today, no way. And as for women voting for McCain to spite Obama, I'd expect women to vote according to their common sense instead of knee-jerk, kindergarten, tit-for-tat reactionism. Unless, of course, you don't think American women are capable of making informed, rational political decisions.

Sorry Jane ...

Have to disagree. Voted for Reagan in the very first election I was able to vote it. I'm a white 45 year old female, well educated with a better than decent paycheck. Obama got my vote in the primary and he'll get it again in Nov.

I would have voted for McCain if he'd run in 2004, but after George, I'll never vote for a Republican again ...

McCain Democrats

Obama will not get the Reagan Democrats. Also, many women will vote for McCain in order to protest the slanderous and biased treatment that Hillary Clinton received. Many elderly democrats have very fond feelings for Clinton. They too will vote for McCain. Good luck, Barrack. You promised the Democrats unity, and you gave us a civil war. Congratulations.
