Wayne of ca, there are somethings that i agree with you, ill be level headed here but from your views of " testing americans" i think that you should test your self and really think about what your voting for and what your saying. you say OF COURSE we need to get out of Iraq and im sure everyone would agree with you, we want our boys back and safe. but what would happen if we never went over there how many more attacks would there have been? war is never a good thing but its needed to keep our country safe and free. we have always had wars well before you were alive and will be well after your gone. War is a part of life. you say its coastin so much well if clinton didnt do away with most of our military then we wouldnt have to keep refunding it to keep it where any true american agrees it should be at. then you say OF COURSE middle classes need tax break well your right times are hard were all feeling it but put some one like obama in there and you will see it become harder for the middle class because the old sayin is dont F with the rich, there not going to change there life style they will find ways to not get hit hard, and lets just talk about the rich well wouldnt a good percent of them be business owners? Well if there getting hit harder then normal because of obamas ideas on taxation, they will just cut some of there spending which could be ur pay check there will be more lay offs and there will be businesses closing and people with the money will either sell what they have of go in to early retirement. I think the true question is who do you trust? some one thats fought for your country and risked his life in war and that will get the job done and is a ture full blooded american. or some one that barley did anything for the U.S. couldnt yes or no for anything only voted present until his name was on ballot. Nor would wear the american flag pin for a great lenght of time or put his hand over his heart for our flag. i can go on for over and you can to you have ur views ill have mine just know what every they say and promise alot of things but does that really mean its going to happen look at the past promises and plans have gone through. they are going to tell you what you wanna hear and really hardly do half of what they say they will. So the real question who is the true american and who can you trust

I'll be glad to see Bush go. It's hard to look at all our failures during his administration. We had a budget surplus when he took office. We had a bright future only to trade it in for stupidity and ignorance. We had peace and prosperity only to give it up for war and out of control debt. Most people in the world wished they were American. They saw us as proud people not afraid to face the tough challenges with fairness and hope but are now looking at us like we're a sad sack of gun-toting, god-fearing paranoid schizophrenic spoiled brats who got what was coming to them for voting for this mental case Bush not once..but twice!
What happened to freedom over security (give me liberty or give me death)? Why war in Iraq? Where's Bin Laden? 7 years now. Why hasn't he been killed or captured? Why aren't we better off now than we were 8 years ago? What happened to us?
Politicians can only do so much to help us get out of this mess we're in. We need to help ourselves. Give someone new a chance. Vote for Obama and take back our country.

Obama needs to win...
McCain is gonna be just like bush.

Michaela of GA 11:58AM November 03, 2008

Because of his past associations with thugs, crooks, and terrorist muslims and islims, Obama could not possible secure a security clearance to even get into the marines or the air force. Thus he is unqualified to be commander in chief, much less president.

Honestly, Bush compared to Kerry? Neither were a good choice but Bush was better than Kerry. Would you want to have a president who appeared to be confused and weak? At least Bush can be strong and handle things better than Kerry could. But do not go and compared McCain to Bush just like the rest of the Liberals have. McCain is ten thousand times better than Bush and a hundred thousand times better than Obama. Obviously you are a true liberal and do not care about Americans the way a true American (McCain) should. You put down people of this country for poorly voting according to your standards. That is not being a true American. If you were you would be out there educating and helping others not disrespecting them. That is one thing Republicans do not do.

Can you not see that 9/11 was Bill Clinton's fault !
Can you not see that Bushes purpose has been to prevent it from happening again.
Can you not see that the the us economy is good, and that wall street has been manipulated by money grubbing thieves who are now Obomas advisers.
Can you not see that Katrina's slow assistance was directly related to a black democratic mayor and a white democratic governor.
Can you not see that Bush united the nation and the media tore it apart.
And the worst is that not one of you know that the presidents job is commander and chief for times of attack where the slow deliberation of congress would not due.
Sure the president keeps congress in check.
But Congress makes the law's and policies.
The president just takes the blame.
The only problem with bush is that he is a politician and has given in to the liberals who will destroy this country.

I am writing this on a computer knowing that John McCain will not read it nor respond to it because he doesn't do e mail. (Way too 21st Century), and yet he plans to lead us into the future? I actually believe that John McCain invented the blackberry. Not the device; the one that's used in cobbler. He's certainly old enough.
When asked about how Sara Palin plans to work with foreign leaders having never met one, McCain replied "We'll cross that bridge to nowhere when we get to it".
Vote Obama.

Ron Allen of OR 1:27PM September 18, 2008

If McCain took a risk on choosing Palin for VP, will he also risk the welfare of our country? Anyone that would not even "blink" when deciding to campaign for VP and perhaps even assume presidency of the most powerful nation of the world is very arrogant and dumb! I hope our country will recognize Obama/Biden as not only America's hope but the hope of the world!!

most of these comments show the bias of the readers. Clinton first had Bin laden on the ropes and let him go. Bushes obession with Sadam ignored him.Our goverment is truly broken and both sides are responisble.Whites that vote for McCain are no more rasist than Blacks that vote for Obama are.That is a very self/rightous statment that only people who agree with you are the enlightened ones.It is attitudes like this that are destroying our country from both sides.Instead of beating down the other side which is always easier,spend your time building up your choice. If they are truly as wonderful as you believe,it should be an easy sell.There is to much HATE and FEAR in politics today.I am a democrat with a very nice house and a very nice car. Does that make me a republican,or just a very hard worker.I would guess if you could afford a Mercedes you would buy one also.Do you need to be poor to be a democrat? The republicans are wrong because of thier polites not because of thier color or thier money.
