Carter all over again
I think McCain needs to remind voters what happened the last time we had a Democratic candidate loved by the media. Look at what happened to the country when Carter was elected with a Democratic controlled congress. I think history is repeating itself.
MEAN spirited comments
I am appalled at some of the comments on this site. One of the most hateful talked about McCain laying in state in new suits... and this from Ivy Leagy Lady, "until he picked a lame brain running mate who is vulgar and uneducated. His mean spirited campaining was the last straw." Vulgar? You have no basis for comments such as this. And talk about the pot calling the kettle black. This is very mean-spririted. We should be civil and agree to disagree. Just because you say it doesn't make it true. If you disagree with Republican ideas - say so! But don't stoop to such vitriolic, hateful words.
I am a McCain/Palin supporter because they have records. You can go to past campaigns they have run and see that they have fulfilled promises. The same cannot be said for Barack Obama. I am also looking for a leader that has been tested. John McCain is that man. There is no more serious foreign relations thinker in our government today. I have deep reservations based on Obama's take on the surge in Iraq as well as his initial response to the Georgian crisis. In these dangerous times, I can't think of a more important issue than our national security.
I know many who disagree with me, but let's keep the discussion contained to the issues that will impact all of our lives.
Some of these posters are so weird!
I am one of the early voters and I cast my vote for John McCain. I have trouble believing or trusting Barak Hussein Obama. I don’t believe he was even born in the United States, but instead in the country of Kenya. That’s a lawsuit against the Obama campaign and the DNC by an attorney stating that Obama was born in Kenya and the MSM refuses to make it well known. Obama is a socialist plain and simple. The United States was built on capitalism. If socialism is what you’re looking for...move to Europe. Who cares about negative campaigns? In the big picture, what do they really matter? It’s a very silly and dangerous reason for choosing a candidate. I can’t imagine four years of Barak Obama quite frankly. I don’t think he could really be all that patriotic if he refuses to wear an American flag lapel pin. He’s running for the highest office of the land and he can’t even find the patriotism to wear one. I hope that John McCain gets his Thomas Dewey moment.
