President Obama?
President McCain?

I don't like either of them. I wished Al Gore was running for President. He could have won by a landslide.

Folks...
Remember to vote based on "accomplishments".
Never vote based on "promises".
Never vote based on "popularity".


Schwazzeneger is the governor of California. He was helmed like the messiah in the California. He said he will solve the budget issues and look what happened, less money for the schools, etc.

Hillary Clinton as first lady promised that she will fix the health care system so everyone can afford it. Did she really fix it? Nothing changed.

Don't be taken by promises for change.
VOTE BASED ON THE CANDIDATE'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
REAL LIFE ACCOMPLISHMENTS that help the public and the country speak more than words.

Unfortunately, many Americans are stupid and are easily taken by a good speaker who promises change but has no backing or any major accomplishments to speak for.


DEFINITION OF PATRIOTISM
McCain: Patriotism is 'putting the country first' before all else
Obama: Patriotism means 'faith in one another as Americans'

Who has the better definition?
Based on McCain, if I do not put the country first, then I am not patriotic.
Based on Obama, if I do not have faith in Obama, then I am not patriotic.

Which one makes more sense to you?

Even many McCain supporters have to admit they believe Obama will be president even though they dont want it to happen.

McCain is older and has been around longer, of course he has accomplished more than Obama, I just really don't feel real positive about those things that McCain has accomplished. Give me Obama and a hope for better in the future.

And I'm concerned that what he says will never happen and things get worse. I don't know if more of the same is better than losing everything we have.

What did McCain accomplished for Arizona as its senator?

What did Obama accomplished for Illinois as its senator?


Accomplishments NOT promises speak louder in my opinion.

Anyone idiot can make a promise and make it believable.

Politicians tell people what they want to hear. It's up to us to do the research, understand the scope of their power and make the best choice.

Hey, any idiot can give any hope for the future.

The difference is who is lying and who is not. That's why base your votes on real life accomplishments. That is the only way. People are easily taken by promises and they have not learned.

I can tell you right now, if you vote for me.
-There will no longer be poverty.
-The middle class will become upper middle class.
-There will be wealth and happiness for everyone.

Do you believe me? That's how stupid and desperate people are. The people who fall for this are usually the greedy people who easily fall for scams.
