common sense?

WOW does that mean that you will hire just about anybody to run for the POTUS?

What is common sense telling you now?
Is it telling YOU to go apply for the CEO position of Bank of America?
Hey if Obama can run for the POTUS with no experience, then SURELY YOU CAN GET THE CEO POSITION AT ONE OF THE LARGEST BANKS.

Now let me introduce you to something called 'reality'.

Obama is all talk, and likes to lie a lot.
He said McCain voted for Bush 90% of the time, when OBAMA was ALSO voting for Bush.

Any educated person knows what will happen when you raise taxes on small business/large corporations. Say good bye to the jobs!
You wonder why some guy from India is answering phone calls for most large corporations.

I'm voting for Obama because I HAVE COMMON SENSE. You want a candidate who flat out, undoubtedly LIES and tries to pass it off? go ahead. You wanna guy who votes WITH BUSH 90% of the time, go ahead. You wanna guy who has picked a candidate, not for her merits, but for her lady parts? go ahead, but I won't be doing so, and I won't be grouped in with a bunch of people I couldn't have less to do with.

Ok, let's talk specifics. What part of Palin's success is a lie since you say I'm brainwashed? Please indulge me.

I'm a small business owner and you better believe if they increase payroll taxes that will be one less employee to hire in the future. I don't think Obama is dumb enough to do this.

What on earth has Obama done? Someone.. please.. what? He gives a good speech. He went to Harvard. He was a community organizer. Even in politics he's got nothing. He voted present so he wouldn't offend anyone, either that or he didn't understand what they were voting on. And half the time he was in the senate he was campaigning. The guy has nothing. Did you watch his interview on O'Reilly? Oreilly tore him to pieces. If the guy can't answer questions by a tv anchor without studdoring.. duh.. duh... uh...uh.. then how the heck is he going to handle Putin or Ahminajad? He's great with a promptor but without it you see the true Obama... Hollow and not even kind of close to being ready to be President.
I'd like some kind of "corruption" she fought. While in the meantime, she doesn't let investigators that she didn't handpick look over what SOULD be a very simple investigation. Of course Alaska loves her, they get money for nothing at all! Oil companies drill and the citizens get paid, meantime, Palin takes credit for something she had no hand in creating, that she mearly signed off on. She has hired high school friends for high paying jobs with high credentials like "she liked cows". She billed the State for thousands of dollars in "travel expenses" while she worked from home. Yeah. Really taking on the corruption.

OReilly is a hack. Watch the SAME interview and see if he lets Obama answer any of his questions before he cuts him off. Obama doesn't have short answers all the time, and I prefer that! He has complex solutions to complex problems. If he says "um" that is far from something to disqualify the man. It means he's thinking. He's putting in thought, which is less than I can say for McCain and his VP pick.
"I'll find Osama Bin Laden and I will follow him to the gates of hell!" Okay..... how? By staying in a country where we know he wasn't when we came in and isn't there now?

But then, it wouldn't be 'illegal' would it?

It's 90% with his party for McCain. Obama has voted 97% with his own party, the one that has controlled congress for the last two years and gotten nothing of value done. Look up the facts of Senate legislation between McCain and Obama - who's co-sponsored and signed bills with the other party? McCain is somewhere around 50-55%. Obama is around 10-15%. McCain's got years of actually working with people he doesn't always agree with, and he's not afraid to upset his own party by voting against them. Obama is simply a Democrat party puppet, and that record stands for itself.

McCain is ALL ABOUT working with other countries when it comes to business. Obama is the only candidate talking about STOPPING companies from moving jobs overseas.

Show me a SINGLE source that says Obama lied. I haven't seen one.

If you think Obama is unqualified, tell me what they are doing with Pain? They could have continued that attack legitimately, but now they put Palin out there, and everyone knows what she is. She's not the best option, but she's a woman, and so there in lies the reasoning. If you think she was the best choice, tell me what she has over other governours?

Yeah, but he gives a dang good speech. Oh and he's black. We've never had a black president so that must be a good thing. Oh, and he gives a good speech. Oh, and he went to Harvard.

80% of the people approve of her in Alaska. She's not giving away enough money so that 80% of people would like her. She did something right. Again, real problems and she found real solutions. Obama has faced a few real problems but he got confused and just voted present.
