Nothing to do with the issues?? Serious?

Obama spent 20+ years in a black liberation church that preaches whites created AIDS. He allowed his children to sit in the pews and to be baptised in that same church. That is a HUGE error in judgement and says a lot about his character. Issues aside, if McCain sat in an all-white church that taught that black people created AIDS.. not only would he not be a presidential candidate, his state would have kicked him out of the senate. Obama is lucky he is black. That is the only reason he is still a candidate for president.

Can you really imagine if McCain went to a church like that for 20 years?

What's wrong with Governor's? Governors are in charge of huge budgets.. in charge of thousands of employees.. have to solve real problems everyday. I think being a Governor is probably one of the best resume builders to being president. Governors have a lot of the same responsibilities as presidents.. just on a smaller level.

I totally agree.

I want to see some of these people actually go run for mayor or a governor of ANY STATE.

OBAMA HAS NO EXPERIENCE.
When has he ever managed a million dollar budget?
I can't believe they think he's going to be able to manage a trillion dollar budget. OY VEY!

I'll be the first to admit, I'M PANICKING! Yes, it panics me to think that those two could ACTUALLY win! Not only is she shockingly unqualified, it's clear to me that McCain chose her only to win, NOT what's in the best interest of our nation. So, yes, it worries me.
How did you feel about Edwards as VP?

Obama has given speeches, went to a fancy college, voted present 80% of the time so not to offend anyone, and was a community organizer.

The leader of the democratic ticket has half the experience as the VP of the republican ticket.
You should really cite your sources when you plagiarize your post right off of the McCain campaign playbook.

"Fought big oil"? She WAS/IS big oil:

Alaska is essentially an "oil enclave", with 85.7% of its revenue coming from oil and gas taxes.

Everyone knows that the hard right cannot stand McCain but are "unified" just to try to get back into the Whitehouse. Once in it will go back to the normal "McCains a nut" from the right.
