mccain and palin

i am sorry but mccain and palin have been caught in so many lies durring the last few months, they have insulted allot of hard working people, who pay thier taxes, can not afford good health insurance for thier families. palin could not even remember her part on saterday night live, they needed an stand in. how can we trust them. we also really do not need an war hero or an war margo. we need someone who can keep thier cool, and help us get out of the troubles that we are in now.

i will be glad when bush and his staff is out of office, maybe he and chany will free some of the oil wells that they own. so we will no longer have to go to other countries for our gas or oil. or have to pay up to $5.00 a gal. even though now we are paying 2.99

i mailed in my vote today. and i do hope the best person wins.

by the way obama is half white, for all the red necks out there,

pat the plummer

McCain and Joe SixPack, Joe Plumber, and Joe Blow...

to Mr. McCain:

I am no "Joe Blow", and do not appreciate reference to such, more as "put down" as such... My new slogan: I'm no JOE BLOW- McCAIN can GO...

McCain's Ignorance...

I am quite disturbed that John McCain keeps talking about how winning the war will give our troops "Diginity and Honor," and how the American people will be so proud to get credit for giving Iraq and those other countries the education and ways to manage on their own; when in fact, Our Own service men and women will be coming home from war in such mental conditions as "suicidal, mentally and emotionally disturbed, and/or physically handicapped."

So who's side is McCain in? Is he perhaps so desperate for attention and power that he has become ignorant of the 'real' well-being of the American people?

Well in my opinion, McCain is more a hypocrit than an American, he is obviously a Cold-Hearted idiot; and he needs to GET OUT of office -- Period!!
