I think this election will be the begining of the end for America as we know it. The media and radical liberals are seeking a divide and conquer win. That division will be permanent. Then we will fracture beyond that, at which point we will not be able to function.

The idea of graduated taxes has always been unamerican.

With the quality of life going down in the states, I think we will see "quality citizens flight" to other nations.(expats, I consider people protecting wealth, not peolpe trying to build wealth)

I also believe home grown terrorism will expand due to a hopelessness built on the decline.

McCain/Palin will win.

I considered myself a Libertarian, I chose to support Hillary because of her stance, her strong committment against men who dominate the world. Until I saw Sarah Palin, and studied about McCain's achievement, I definitely will vote for McCain.

The more the extreme Left Liberals attack women like Palin, the more women like myself will support Sarah Palin. If Hillary attacks Palin for Obama, I sure will abandon Hillary for ever.

I was not originally an obama supporter (usually repbulican, but could swing), but have decided that the country needs a change, and a new look at problems that have been developing in our country. What is the saying? If you want the same results, just continue doing the same thing. This is what is going to happen if we end up with Mccain.

If Barrack Obama wins the presidential race it means that Americ's first black president will be the descendant of slave OWNERS rather than slaves.

Who says America doen't get irony..........

It appears that John McCain is going too negative too soon. He doe s not offer America any hope. Fear is not a platform. He needs to look at real problems and speak to them with a clear vision. Going negative will only make the problem worst for not only America but for McCain as well.

I am really growing tired of reading post that state "Americans are all really getting sick of Republican..."

1) Bush was elected TWICE!!!

2) The 2008 election polls are too close to call (usually within margin of error) because ALL Americans are not sick of Republics, you are.

3) If it weren't for New York State and California - neither of which represent any other segment of our society - a demoncrate would never, ever, EVER be elected. Don't believe me, check your history abd then do the math.

If you hate McCain, fine but quit speaking for me and the other 300 million Americans that can speak for themselves.

P.S. Obama doesn't have a chance. McCain hasn't even campaigned, almost stayed completely out of sight during your own parties stupid in-fighting. McCain will wait until two months before the election, and then blitz your sad candidate with topics like your "COMMITTED" candidate who didn't even bother to fulfill his first and only term in a federal office. Missing more than half of his votes. Yes, McCain missed a lot too, but McCain has been in public and Military service for his life. Obama is a joke.

THE REPUBLCIANS HAVE RUN THE USA INTO THE GROUND WITH THEIR LIES AND WARS. And they dont care. so long as they skim off the top of the USA economy. PLEASE people of America, OBAMA IS THE ONLY CHOOICE FOR YOUR CHILDFREN. AND FOR ENDING THIS WAR THAT HAS BROUGHT ONLY SHAME TO THE USA. I WANT TO BE LIKED BY EUROPE AGAIN.********** Oh you poor baby, your neighbors won't let you play with them? If you had any real sense you would realize that Europe doesn't give a d__n about you. They are super jealous of OUR country & want us to be destroyed as a nation so they can use our country's resources for their own personal gain. The Islamic States are deadly afraid of the freedoms in this country, too many of their children are tasting what real freedom is & want to keep it. They're afraid of losing the absolute power they've held over them for thousands of years, so they must do everything they can to destroy our country. You bamabots following bama like blind mice are only contributing to their plan to destroy the US from the inside. Are you proud of your contribution to Islamic terrorism? That's what a vote for this bama character and your actions amount to!

Regardless of what you say or do, us elder folk & the US Armed Services will save this country until you get old enough to appreciate what you really have here in OUR Country, the GREATEST NATION EVER TO BE! God Bless the U.S.A!.& there's nothing you can do about it, ......Nobama '08 or EVER
