Well, when you're right, you're right. Okay, Bush isn't a cowboy. Let's see, what shall we call him? Hmmm. How about a Sidewinder?

Worked out real well there didn't it? I see Obama being similar in his stance, we would get a lot of we are worried, working on a solution, trying to fix the problem speeches which would make us look weak.

McCain on the other hand would have a response similar to what I would do in the same situation. "Send in the bombers". It may not be pretty, but it works!

How do you think each candidate would have handled 9-11 if they were in office? Because its very likely that we may suffer another terrorist attack in the future..who would you rather see leading this nation if that were to happen? And please tell me why...Thanks
McCain, because he has actually been in crisis situations (first-hand and long-term) is experienced with military strategies, has more life-experiences, has had more dealings with foreign leaders, and seems to have a stronger constitution than Obama. McCain is like a rock, with strength, durability, and stability. Obama is more like a pebble which can easily crumble.

Mc Cain/Palin because when you put 2 mavericks together, you can't go wrong. Also, when you have a maverick who is also a pit bull and a hockey Mom, you have got all the toughness that you need! Obama is lacking in the maverickness department. And he is not a pitbull or a hockey Dad.

McCain. I look at Obama and I see Bush in 2000. Inexperienced, in over his head, and a puppet to his advisors and other democrats.

Obama will be just as bad a Bush, just a little more leftward.

That's too easy, Senator McCain ofcourse with his years of government experience..Senator Obama would need to refer to his VP for guidance, so why is he the Pres than??

McCain is clueless, and reckless, just like Bush, and you seriously ask who you would rather have in the WH on Sept 10, 2001?

Especially since McCain called for attacking Iraq only a month after 9/11, while Senator Obama spoke out against the idea?

Wow, just wow. Some folks just aint ever gonna get it, are they?
