John McCain Supporters Drowning Out the Bad News

Obama is very skilled at disarming or neutering his enemies. But if your understanding goes beyond his smile and steady voice you'll understand what will happen to America now. The permanently immature, the serious-looking silly judges Obama and his lefties favor on the Supreme Court will become a reality. There are few if any threats to America more serious than deconstructing and misinterpreting our Constitution. Respect for the Constitution has held America together for 232 years. How long did it take America to unpack the Roosevelt courts? Decades. We KNOW Obama is going to pack the courts again. He needs to pack the courts. There are too many disagreements between the Bill of Rights and the Communist Manifesto - his working model, not to have to pack the courts. He won't wait for the judges who respect the Constitution to die. The Constitution is alternately a play thing, a worthless piece of paper, a tool of convenient authority when they can twist it's meaning and propagandize former precedent.
The Supreme Court if the golden treasure they have captured. The only other threats to America of equal danger I can think of is immediately disarming and standing down the Armed Forces and all other organs or bodies which will impede his grip on power. The Borg is here.

I do hope that both parties keep in mind why they lost and why they won. That needed change that Obama hypes and what Americans want and need put him in the White House. Well, That first big change would be to get America out of the World's Policing Role. Both Parties share the blame for the sad state that America now finds itself in, and there's plenty of blame to go around. Do hope that Mr. Obama isn't A Robin Hood who steals from the rich and the poor And I would keep this in mind, if I were him. He is the elected Caretaker of a great nation,elected by the people to serve the people. And should he fail to serve the people,then he too,can and will be deposed in due time.
I too didn't vote as I am tired of Bush-ism And the Obama BS and Little Substance Platform was a turn-off for this old man,who has seen too many conmen
come down the pike.

Obama has won and this causes me great concern. I respect the man and believe he will attempt to do "right" as he sees it. My concerns are his liberal leanings and liberal record. Mr. Obama does not seem to understand that we must have productive people as the core for our society. We shall not enjoy economic success if we develop a welfare state. I oppose his goal of increasing taxes on the "wealthy." His targets for more money are mostly hard working, successful small business people. To punish their success with increased taxes is lunacy. The tax burden in the USA is already too high and the government has been out of control on spending for decades. Better to reign in the politicians and substantially reduce government spending and welfare (at all economic levels). I also fear his stand on constitutional rights, especially in regard to the second amendment. There has been a long and successful battle against Democrats to erode our right to bear arms. We must not allow politicians to "steal" our constitutional rights again.

I sincerely hope that the politics of old is dead with the culmination of this election. I am an independent and vote for the candidate. I have never been so disgusted as with this presidential campaign's name-calling that came from McCain and Palin. Combine these disgusting events with the Joe the Plumber baloney that was going on and it became more of a circus sideshow than a presidential campaign. I hope that future candidates learned a lesson and just be themselves when campaigning. Don't pander to the left or right, blue collar, white collar, no collar, whatever -- just be yourself and tell us what you believe in and what you want to accomplish. Forget the name-calling and other disgusting events of American campaigning. Tell us the facts and let us make the decision who will lead us. It's that simple.

It seems to me that by "not voting" one is apathetic about the coourse our contry should be taking.
I have voted in every presidential election since Gen. D Eisenhouer was elected presudent. Even though he was Republican I did vote for him. It is not patriotic to "not vote". It is shamful abd wrong.
I have been a lifeliong Democrat but that has not ever stopped me from voting for the one I thought would be best for the country. Not necessarily good for me personaly. The good of the cdountry should be th3e foremost objective when voting in a national election.
And that's my 2 Cents.

The conservative Policy failed to show what a communist dictator Obama can produce if elected.

I decided against voting for Senator McCain when the Republican party took to groom him for the presidency. For the last two years and possibly more Sentor McCain became a mass media man, a broadcaster like. He appeared on the news or commentaries very often yet, he did not show that he has a message, but to bring him from an unkown place to notoriety, a bizzar way of placing him on such an important ticket.
This happens at a time when his opponent, Obama is rather vulnerable, inexperienced and with no substance to his platform except a slogan:"Change". I did not vote.
