For all of you saying we 'fixed' the elections--selective counting, maybe, but I can assure you that Liberals do plenty of it around the country too. I know that as a fact.

They went to the wrong country, they knew before they went it was the wrong country...only reason we are there is because Bush had it out for Saddam because Saddam didnt like his daddy to much. Also for oil, and money. Thats what this war is all about. Iraq had NOTHING to do with what happened on 911. This has been proven. Do we have Bin Laden? Did we find "weapons of mass destruction"? Did we get the "evil doers" that redneck George likes to talk about so much? No we didnt. If you think Mccains going to keep you safe you are nuts. That rotten b*stard wants to go to war with the world. He said he will stay in Iraq for 100 years, and he preaches this BS country first sh*t. He isent putting America first. His vp pick cant even control her own family, how is she going to control America? She has NO experience. Since all the republicans like to bring up things about Obamas past...how about Sarah Palin? She is involved in dirty politics in Alaska already. Trooper gate (perfect example of Mccains right to work bs) she fired the head of the state police force in Alaska because he wouldnt fire a trooper that divorced her family. Mccain has voted with bush over 90% of the time. Does that not tell you something? Look whats happened to this country the past 8 years. We are a laughing stock to the rest of the world. In Pennsylvania like i said before, Republicans arent for blue collared steel workers, coal miners, or anything else. They are not for the working man. They are for the big companys, and the wealthy. How anyone in this state can vote for that is wrong. I am a union worker at a mill. Mccain like most republicans likes to ship jobs overseas, or down south to right to work states were his ceo buddys can make there giant profits. He is not for the disabled, or for elderly people. He is a rotten old man, reminds me of Cheney. All the lobbyist that are for him, do you really think gas is going to go down? Obama is NOT a terrorist like some republicans make him out to be, hes a smart, young, down to earth guy with good plans and ideas for a better America. Call him what you want, but if you dont vote for him dont b*tch in a few years when we are in a depression.

Also Mccains little thing about wanting to call off the debate, all that was was a republican plot to make morons who can be brainwashed easy that he cares about the economy. The real reason is because he cant debate Obama, there is not one issue Mccain is right about. He has no answers. He is another Georgie Bush. If he cared about the economy, he wouldnt have voted with Bush 90 percent of the time. He is a joke, and will make this country continue to be a laughing stock to the rest of the world. I prey that he doesent win in November because we cant take 4 more years of Bush.
I'm truly pleased we have people in this country like you who represent Obama.

Sorry, but it is truth. It speaks volumes about Obama's judgment and integrity. That is what we're looking for. Dig up some stuff on McCain, if it's true I would like to see it.
Don't forget McCain's association with pastor John Hagee. McCain even defended Hagee after the pastor's infamous remarks about Jews during the Holocaust, and Hurricane Katrina being punishment for New Orleans for hosting a gay parade.

We can go on and on about associations. As a leader once said, it doesn't matter if the cat is black or white. As long as it catches mice.

The most important thing is where do the candidates stand on the issues? Religious conservatives saw Bush as a saint in his contest with Gore in 2000, after what happened under Clinton. But look what happened after 8 years of Bush. Our healthcare is in shambles. We pay a whole lot more in premiums than other countries and get lousier healthcare. We had a surplus eight years ago and now our national debt is the biggest in history. We have fallen behind other countries in science. America's reputation around the world has suffered from our unilateral foreign policy.

If the next president can deliver regardless of his associations, whether it be Obama or McCain, I'll vote for him in 2012.

I don't like the inference that everybody who doesn't like Obama is a republican and/or or that everybody that dislikes McCain is a democrat. I'm a libertarian who's voted for republicans, democrats and other parties. I've taken the "which party fits you best" tests(not the phony ones worded to convince you you're a certain party), and am actually a centrist leaning towards being a libertarian. I just see through Obama and don't trust him. He's good on a few issues, taxes, repealing NAFTA. But relies heavily on 20/20 hindsight and others ideas that he then claims to be his own. He has a whole machine geared to making him look good. I don't see anybody trying to make McCain into some kind of superman.
And bashing Palin is a two edged sword. She's got just as much, more, really, leadership experience as Obama, just not the partisan pandering skill. And right now a complete outsider to Washington DC is what this country needs most, IMO.

Do you really know anything about Obama? How he started in Chicago, how he made it through Harvard in top of his class, how he could of made millions in a top N.Y. law firm in his late 20s, but went back to Chicago to be elected for the senate to help working for the middle class in Chicago?
Do you know anything about him.

I love this country. It just saddens me anymore that a person who is obviously extremely intelligent, top of his class in Harvard, works for middle class, will be outvoted because of typical Karl Rove BS on making voters vote on retarded issues such as who the VP running is.

First of all, she is running for VP, not President. Can we please forget about her. Sadly, her retarded behavior during interviews, and most stupid as ever answers doesn't make her any less popular to the "I vote only because of American Idol issues" voting crowd.

This women is so out of touch with America it is not even funny.

I love Karl Rove. He makes this election "Palin (fiesty, conservative, gun shooting, hockey mom) Vs Obama (Evil, corrupt, black guy, who is going to beg as white folks for change). Sad thing is it works for 60% of the voting population. I say we go to Fasicsm. It works better.
