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.
Obama versus McCain
I can see no political change coming with McCain or the Republicans. Why? He's too old and set in his old ways. You cannot train an old dog new tricks. McCain is too steep in the Republican ideals, which are things like blackmailing and smearing other politicians to get into the White House. McCain and the Republican party are the worst examples, as leaders, in the world. If the only way they can win election is to lie and smear good people like Kerry, Gore, and now Obama, what example are they setting for the younger generation? There's no wonder why too many young people in this country believe they can even kill others to get what they want. Our leaders' behaviors are no different from the uneducated . We can say or do whatever we want; we can hurt others to get what we want. It is so sad that even at McCain's age (when he should be preparing to meet his creator,) he is just as lacking in decency, honesty and integrity, as all the Republicans like George Bush and others.
mcCain
to me it doesn't really matters what opinion polls and political behaviourism says all i know is that when GOD says yes no one can say no. senator mcCain is the next president . I see a more greater and a blessed united state of america during McCain tenure of offices.

Obama for President
Why not! Let's give a decent regular guy a shot. I think he is sincere and down to earth, which should make up for any lack of experience. I'm sure that a lot of people would flip out at having a black(or mixed president), but they'll get over it.
John McCain is better for America
I know where John McCain stands on everything that's important to the safety and security of the United States, and on just about everything else. I may not agree 100% with all of his policies,but at least you know where he stands by his record. Obama does not have any record of any legislation that he has authoredor even really got behind agressively, and you know where he stands when thing's get tough. He run's away from long time friends and "uncles" just like he never knew them. that's NOT the kind of man I want as my president. Obama doen't have the experiance to be in a position of that kind of power. He can not be trusted I my opinion.
Obama/McCain Outside
I guess it depends on the application of 'outside'. John McCain has been 'inside' through several government systems - military, space program, Congress. To remain viable these many years required he learn the ropes, dance the dance, kiss the babies, and confer with many with similar or opposing views without resorting to fist fights. He has survived because he IS political. He does not have a reputation for forging his own path with ideas that go against the flow. No matter what song he is singing now, it is always somebody else's song. With little record of personal gumption, it appears he must depend on mis-information, and dirty tricks to not necessarily prove undiscovered plusses about himself, but rather to cast aspirsion on others, knowing the unsupported rumor will stick in the public mind as well as any truth. Not getting caught in a lie is not the same thing as telling the truth. I would appreciate him more if he was less a politician, and more a man with a mission.
Mr. Obama has been around in the public eye much less than his opponent. What I know about him is what I see and read. Few voters have the luxury of 'knowing' a candidate so we all must use what we see. It becomes necessary to seperate the wheat from the chafe when determining who to vote for. Mr. Obama has fewer people to grease because he must return past favors in the good ol' boy membership. He has fewer persons who will expect a hand-up-the-ladder in payment for endorsement now. Just because he doesn't entertain a cotterie of 'bedfellows', will not mean he cannot use his education, his ideals, and his energy to accept the problems of the office of President. I don't know if he will fix all the countries problems. He at least possesses some tools to address our problems which is more than I can say for a person who through hook or crook obtained the Office, twice! with MUCH less ability. The Bush had name recognition, and he should thank his parents they named him George. Who would have known him as Robert? (I apologize to all those people with this fine name.) He was a mediocre politian, who spiriled into an incompetent man living at 1600 Pensylvania Ave., Washington, D.C. T he American Public deserves better.
Inside, Outside...the next guy has his work cut out for him, and I wish him the support of every co-worker, and citizen. He doesn't have to be perfect, but I want to see EFFORT. I have been ashamed of the United States, the government, the policies of the current administration, the rendition, the honor of our national integrety under this administration and I am looking forward to being proud to be an American once more.
Mc Cain is Bushs and worlds' agent of doom
If you match up Bush with Mc Cain and Obama, you see 95% of Bush in Mc Cain and almost no similarity with Obama. What we need in America and ineed the whole world is real change, deep and wide. Now thats 95% Obama and 2% John Mc Cain. The 2% change in Mc Cain is in his age. Obama inspires in a way that a leader should not just America but worldwide. Rpublicans and Democrats, this is the moment we have been waiting for. Barack is the vote!
