Anyone? Anyone?
He would have intimate knowledge on how to fix this?


Maybe not.

Smile Popeye McSame & Olive Oil Palin

Being an undecided voter and still observing what is called the (LOL) election process I now stand in the following position.

McSame is very much the same and has voted accordingly.

McSame states he knows very little about the US economy.

McSame is a beyond prime, military elitist.

McSame is a warhawk who will agitate other nations.

McSame isn't academically sound--graduated 894 out of 899 from the Naval Academy.

Has had disciplinary problems as a mid-shipman and temperament problems as a Senator.

Has had discipilinary actions taken against him by the Gov't. over a bank fraud problem.

McSame cannot easily relate to middle-class concerns as he nor his associates were of that class.

Has had a priviledged upbringing and career--military brat.

Has a VP candidate I have grave doubts about-- their intelligence, capabilities and character.

And that is only the tip of the ice-berg!

Well McCain seems to have to best grasp on Iraq and what to do now.

He is against abortions. (no need to get into it)

He is for middle class tax cuts. (not raising taxes on the wealthily) I like this because the wealthy are the spending class of this country. My grandfather fall into this class and injects massive amounts of money into the economy. He also is able to dole out a lot of money to charities. He does all this and still lives under his means.

He is for extending the "no child left behind act" It has worked wonders here in TEXAS.

Is for giving the government more domestic surveillance power. You call it big brother i call it big protector. By the way they are making legal what they are already doing and have done for decades.

Protects our right to own a gun. I personally don't have a gun. People kill people not guns.

Supports cutting funding to sanctuary cities.

Opposes medical marijuana. We have plenty of other better working drugs. Smoked a bit in my time and it is not a medical drug wonder.

Does not support a increase in minimum wage. Corporations are about profit they will pass it to us. (consumers) If people don't apply for a place that pays minimum wages they have to raise wages.
Cool, are we playing Jeopardy?

What are things that McCain and Bush agree on?

Was I right?

I'm actually disappointed the Republicans did not nominate a better, younger, more inspiring and conservative candidate. I guess most Republicans are too. Didn't they have ANYONE in their ranks who could have brought a fresher perspective to represent the GOP? Same stale old white guys all the time.
Perhaps the reason you get a lack of response is because everyone knows this thread is just another liberal troll. You aren't interested in having any of your questions being answered, or debating, or discussing, so nobody does. Your blatant dishonesty is what we've come to expect from liberals these days, which is why you are not taken seriously.
