McCain
Carmen seems to be as filled with hatred and unpatriotic beliefs as Michelle Obama and her mysterious deaf husband. I voted for Kerry and Gore but neither God nor my conscience would let me vote for Obama and all he stands for and for all we have not found out yet that he stands for. McCain may have some shortcomings but they are all on the table for all to see,
OBAMA OR MCCAIN
MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON US ALL. THE REPUBLICANS DO NEED A LOT OF PRAYERS. THEY ARE SO CORRUPT AND HATEFUL. THE TACTICS THEY USE TO WIN ELECTION IS DISGRACEFUL. THEY HAVE NO SOUL.
THE OTHER PROBLEM I FIND WITH THEM IS HOW THEY LIKE TO CALL THEMSELVES PRO LIFE, YET IT WAS SO EASY FOR THEM TO DECLARE WAR AND KILL SO MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE WITHOUT ANY REMORSE. AMERICA HAS LOST OVER 4,000 BEAUTIFUL, COURAGEOUS YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN ALL BECAUSE OF THEIR LYING TACTICS. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO STOP THIS BEHAVIOR?
WE NEED MEN OF INTEGRITY AND HONESTY, LIKE OBAMA , GORE AND KERRY TO RUN THIS COUNTRY. WE WOULD NOT BE IN SUCH MESS IF THE REPUBLICANS RUNNING THE COUNTRY UNDERSTAND HOW TO BE HONEST AND UPRIGHT PEOPLE. THEIR TREACHERY IS SO COMMOMPLACE THAT THEY HAVE COME TO BELIEVE THEIR OWN DECEIT.
