OK, abortion may be a talking point for evangelicals. We're all going to hell if we agree on choices for people who do not all share your religious beliefs. But look at it this way. You voted for Bush because you liked his morals. THAT DID NOT CHANGE ROWE VS. WADE. Vote for the person that can do the most good. NOT religion my friends, the country is more like a business. If abortion wasn't legal, it would be done in a back room with less safety and a slip of a dollar under the table. Obama makes sense. McCain acts beligerent and hostile. Personally I wouldn't even want him as a friend. He doesn't have the personality of a christian, why vote for him.

I too found out while stationed overseas just how the rest of the world sees americans. I was told while in some countries (greece, turkey,italy not to wear t shirts with grafitti on them as that makes you stand out as an american. Now, for john mccain and his lies. This guy has scraped the bottom of the barrel to discredit obama. It's race plain and simple for the voters who say obama is bad for the country. They are afraid that he may have some influence in helping the common folk. John Mccain has called him everything except the n word. This is the same mccain who had to have dad and grandpa get him into a service academy, who wrecked an expensive aircraft and had bad fitreps and was generally a hot dog. He was raised the same as bush , with a silver spoon who never had to worry about paying for college. with obama you have the exact opposite. I only hope that this lying to the citizens comes back to bite mccain in the butt and he loses by a landslide. Hey, I'm white, retired military, middle class, married, straight and damn tired of bush and his coward vp cheneys policys, the trickle down economics. November can't get here soon enough.

I, like many Americans believe that character, honesty, and integrity really do go to the foundation of who the next president should be.Obama is ahead in the polls because Obama is dramatically outspending McCain with television advertising ... he has a biased media in the tank, who provides him with more and better exposure, and editorial endorsement ... Obama has 96% of the black vote ... he enjoys the relentless support of a completely biased entertainment industry, plus the left wing educational community, plus massive illegal, or unethical fund raising, and voter registration drives, by groups like Acorn ... not to mention the fact that thanks to democratic propaganda, McCain has to carry Bush's weight. At this point in time, many Americans are also beginning to question the validity of the POLLS. Are they skewed, like the biased media? Do they truly reflect reality? Are the sample groups mostly black voters? If the Democrats are so sure they've already won, how come the keep trying so hard to make the rest of us believe it? Just like they did against Hillary! There is a good chance that if we can keep voter fraud out of this election, that on November 4th, the actual voters, in the privacy of their booths, will elect McCain/Palin, by a comfortable margin.

I love my country and I have served in its military for over 14 years. The greatest insight into the turmoil of the American mind set is once I started going overseas and then began to look at Americans as others do. I found that we are loud, disrespectful and believe we are the end all, be all of the world.
That simply is not true. Our GREED, NEED TO LIVE LIKE THE JONES, and desire for others to respect us has driven our morals to historic lows.
We are failed ourselves and the younger generations, we need to use the current crisis and make it right. I dont want to restore our country in the eyes of the world. I want to make a new image one with is more complete as a citizen of the world.

While I am sure this country contains many prejudice people. ( black and white) I find it annoying that the race issue is always brought up. Why is Obama always referred to as a 'black man' when he is just as much white as he is black. He was raised by a white mother and white grandparents. It is only because the racist card can be played when someone has something negative to say about him.

Jesus was sacrificed for the sins of all mankind, not just white people. Your humor is upsetting; I know of no Christians who believe such a thing.

America suffers from Podhoretz Neo-Con and Leiberman Neo-Lib political cancers, in her executive, legislative, and judicial organs; and in Hollywood and the news media. Their subversion of foreign policy, Christian morality, nationalism, and traditional labor relations are notorious.
The 9/11 Terrorist Spectacle is one of the lesser symptoms caused by their hate provoking foreign military interventions. The un-patriotic and illegal Neo-Con Iraq War in support of Judeofascist Israel is costing over a trillion dollars and killing more than 4,000 young patriots; and doing worse damage to Iraq. The military intervention in Afghanistan is needlessly creating more suffering and hatred there.
Roe vs. Wade is sacrificially killing more than 45 million children by their mothers. Naturally, Neo-Marxists and their following of Christian heretics, not wanting to be stigmatized as morally depraved child killers, want every woman to sacrificially kill her children.
Money scammed and extorted from blue-collar rednecks and school teachers by the Neo- Marxist union lobbies, SEIU and NEA, is electing Congressional political prostitutes who enact legislation that subverts Christian culture, nationalistic unity, freedom from excessive governmental regulation, and capitalistic free enterprise.
These malignant cancers got started in America 60 years ago, when millions of pitiful defeated Marxist refugees from Nazi Germany and Marxist Soviet Union were trustingly accepted as immigrants by inexperienced America, after their rejection by experienced Europe. History suggests that their destruction will inevitably occur, with surprising speed. Russia was utterly devastated by Marxist cancers for two generations, and is very slowly recovering with the gradual introduction of democracy, freedom of speech, nationalism, and Christianity. But Germany under Hitler, and Spain under Franco, quickly destroyed their Marxist cancers, before they could seize control over vital governmental organs. Each healthy nation naturally has a unique defensive immune system for destroying malignant political cancers. England’s immune system is so effective that Marxist cancers are unable to grow.
America’s Constitution is quite extraordinary in that the supreme defensive governmental organ of the People is the grass-roots town militia. When executive, legislative, and judicial organs become tyrannical, militias spring-up over-night in every town to restore freedom and democracy, by guns and gallows revolutionary justice. America promises to put on the greatest revolutionary show on Earth, to the tune of “God Bless America”. The militia man with Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Assembly, and the Right to Bear Arms go into action in a minute, clutching his Crucifix and gun. With Separation of Church and State, his pastor never tells him how to fight for his Country, and his general never tells him how to pray to his Christian God.
Staunch Protestant, Catholic, Mormon, Evangelical, and Fundamental crusaders in the Cultural War indirectly support the revolutionary militias, when they forcefully condemn the heresies and inter-denominational strife that is destroying America’s Christian culture.

If we are True Christians and as such true to Him (Him not being Senator Obama of course), then we can not be considered faithful when we cast a vote for someone who wrongly believes and professes to be Christian, yet believes there are other ways to heaven than through Jesus Christ. Christians should not only be offended, but completely insulted by the claim made by the Media's favorite candidate for 2008.... Well here is one Maryland Vote not going to Senator Obama - I hope he likes the Senate well enough to remain there another eight years.

The whole American election boils down to just one (1) and only:
Battle Ground State = Armageddon (literary) = Maryland State.
The are only four possibilites:
(1) Obama got elected. Maryland vote for Obama. Naval Academy stay in Maryland.
(2) McCain got elected. Marylad vote for McCain. Naval Academy stay in Maryland.
(3) Obama got elected. Maryland vote against Obama. Naval Academy stay in Maryland. It not feasible for Obama to reloate the Academy because it generate income to the state of Maryland. Many Black live in Maryland. The only thing Obama can do is to send in his secret police and get rid of his Black traitors.
(4) McCain got elected. Maryland vote against McCain. McCain relocates the Naval Academy. The problem is Arizon is the most arrid or driest place in the U. S. The entire state is a desert and Grand Canyon. How can a Naval Academy locate in a place with no water? So during this election McCain can campaign by saying if him was elected and Maryland vote against him then he will relocate to the state where there is plenty of water. So where else but the Great Lake and Illinois. McCain can also suggest other Great Lake states such as Ohio, Michigan, New York, Wisconsin, or Minnesota depending on who are going to elect him. So people in Illinois will vote for McCain and Maryland will have no choice but also vote vote for McCain. Since Maryland is the Black Capital near the nation's Capital and Illinois is a Black State, if Obama loses there, then their is no way he can win this election. The main issue and prize for this election is nothing else but the Naval Academy in Maryland.
