Well Obviously this person is against McCain...First off...Obama is a good speaker but thats about it...all he says is CHANGE ...I will should you change...How is someone going to show change with no experience....I guess you can have change when you tax everything out of the people...he is all about giving his money to the media and having them show him off...I would rather have someone like McCain who is more down to earth and doesn't use his money to his advantage! the media is against McCain because Obama is throwing money at the media! Just be prepared to be taxed to death...and be put in a further recession!!!!

One other thing...
People are saying that McCain's tax cuts are for the "rich?" This may be true. But think about this... When health insurance goes up, who gets hit in the end? The employee. When antyhing goes up for a corporation (big or small), we, the employee gets hit in the end.
When companies play less in taxes, that means, more jobs and more income to the employee. If you tax a corporation more; that means a smaller bottom line for the corp, and either small benefits or smaller salary for the employee.
In the end, the employee ALWAYS gets effected. It's like anything else.
Look at what happened with oil. Who paid for it in the end? The consumer, in more ways than one.
It will almost ALWAYS trickle down to the consumer/employee. Period.
ONE of the things Obama has stated is that he wants to "...spread the wealth." THAT is socialism/communism/Marxism.

RESEARCH non-biased material and get the truth!

I seriously challenge everyone to research these candidates for yourselves. Seriously, I find this absolutely ridiculous!
I would start right here:
McCain: http://votesmart.org/issue_rating_category.php?can_id=53270
Obama: http://votesmart.org/issue_rating_category.php?can_id=9490
This is just ONE web site of MANY! These web sites are seeking the truth!
I am a McCain supporter. Do I think we have the best two candidates this country has to offer? No. But from the two we have, it is McCain by far!
Change, change, change… We’ve all heard it. But what is behind all of that?
Obama claims he will not raise taxes (period) for ANYONE that makes less than $250,000 a year, right? Well, not really… See… Obama has already stated that he will let the Bush Tax Cuts expire! What does this mean? Look for yourself:
Child Credit: This credit will shrink from $700 to $500 per child on January 1, 2011.
The Income Tax: Rates will increase between 3 and 4.5 percentage points in each bracket on January 1, 2011.
The 10 Percent Bracket: The bracket will be eliminated on January 1, 2011, raising the income tax burden of many workers by 5 percentage points.
The 15 Percent Bracket for Joint Filers: On January 1, 2011, the upper limit of this bracket will shrink from 200 to 167 percent of the upper limit of the 15 percent bracket for single filers, creating a marriage penalty.
Standard Deduction for Joint Filers: On January 1, 2011, this will shrink from 200 to 167 percent of the standard deduction for single filers, creating a marriage penalty.
The Estate Tax: The top rate for this tax will increase to 60 percent on January 1, 2011, and the value of an estate exempt from taxation will shrink to $1 million, which is less than it is today.
This is just ONE example of the MANY ways he has deceived MANY! Please folks. Open your eyes! Research for yourself. I was an Obama supporter, but something in my gut said this guy was too good to be true. After researching him for over 9 months, I was right.

There is no way anyone can justify voting to a Republican in 2008.
McCain says he is a leader? Of What? He has never even been Majority/Minority Senate leader
McCain says he is tested in what? No dying in a POW camp. Him and 6,000 other Americans did that in Viet Nam
McCain says he understand middle class folks - he didn't mention them until Obama said he never mentioned them. McCain has 8 houses and 13 cars, has never been middle class. His tax cuts are for the rich but they idiots that are voting for him pretend not to know that.
Go to barackobama.com and use their slick tax calculator. it will tell you how much you will save in taxes under Obama and under McCain. It was devised by the Independent Tax Policy group!
BTW - McCain/Palin's crowds don't look like they represent America in the 21st century. They look like America in 1950.
Take a look at Obama's crowds, they look like America of the 21st Century!
Obama/Biden 08

We will be voting, and it will NOT be for Obama who supports infanticide! He voted against keeping alive any infant born alive after an abortion.
No one who supports murder should be Commander In Chief of our country.
His Tax plan will drain America of whatever resourses it has left. Please do some research. The Dems are going like cattle into slaughter.
Who will be paying for a Universal Health Plan? The Canadians have it, and they all flock here for their surgeries. Hmmm
There must be a big problem with it. Do your research.
He gives good face, good speeches, but he is inexperienced - big time! Dumb Dems! Inability to think out of the box! Unwilling to do some research.
Obama is getting his campaign money from -- Muslem friends and others out of the country. Where will his alliances lie? Think Dems - think REAL HARD!
McCain does not have to learn ON THE JOB! He actually knows whether he is coming or going. He actually knows the names of the leaders of the foreign countries. Obama's jaw dropped because HE DIDN'T! McCain knows how to deal with foreign countries and their leaders. Obama - well, he's still in the toddler stage. I don't want a "toddler" for a leader!
Christians and Jews band together and vote McCain/Palin.

With ten days to go until the election, its possible theft via the White House invading Syria just in time to jigger voter focus towards the national security issue that favors McCain should not be taken lightly. For the conservatives’ success with this October surprise or other skullduggery to steal the election would leave Sarah Palin a heartbeat away from having her finger on the button that launches our nuclear missiles. This is to put the media on notice that not repudiating the likes of this smiling hatemonger will not be tolerated, even if I have to send this message out to every last person in America myself. She has been just what her boss, John McCain, needed, her practiced-in-the-mirror smile the perfect accessory for this inanely dumb broad who would distract us from all the important issues of the election and from the conservatives' efforts to steal the election by race baiting and any other means they feel necessary. They will stop at nothing.
