I only wish more on the right felt the same way.
I totally agree. I am an Obama supporter but if McCain wins I will support him and hope that he succeeds.

(and doesn't die in office because Palin makes me queasy )

McCain made the decision to go down this path and I believe in my heart that he is regretting it now because all it did was incite fear and hatred. When he saw this was happening he started to back down, but I think it's too late.

I predict that after he loses, McCain is going to come out and apologize for this.
He should.

You bots act like OBama and his supporters are pure and innocent. They are part of the dirtiest, thugish campaign I have ever seen.
Neither campaign is pure & innocent, however the dirtiest & meanest campaign as of right now is McCain's.

We have had 8 years of this fear mongering government, red, yellow, orange..
Why should it change with McCain?

It scares the hell out of me to see these people out there yelling out, "KILL OBAMA", TERRORIST, MUSLIM, etc. These people don't realize just watching them, makes me wonder, who is the Terrorist?

Well, McCain's tactics have bit him in his butt--a good lesson for all politicians to learn.

You have a very narrow outlook on the whole picture of this. Just remember the pink t-shirts screaming and rallies screaming and yelling at the RNC to bring your view point back into a more logical scope.

You guys vilify an entire group which if the internet polls are close would be almost 129 million people for the actions of a very few.

So now McCain is suppose to be everyone in his following? He controls their thoughts and comments?

Okay here we go again with the irrational assumptions bashing an entire group of almost 129 million people for the actions of (in your case) one person.
