For all thinking Americans, who put country above party...there can only be one choice in this election--BARAK OBAMA!!! Then again, since when have neo cons done anything besides try to destroy the world and take America over a cliff?
#41 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:14 AM ESTSometimes, we need to be gracious and not attack someone when they have made a simple spelling error Carrie. In your life time, haven't you made a spelling mistakes? Let's not be petty.
QueenBee has a right to express herself.
Vote Barrack Obama and Joe Biden.
McCain is far more experienced in how government works. Obama has never even proposed a bill in the senate.
For someone who has so many great ideas, why has he not proposed one in the senate ?
Simple - he has no ideas of his own. He puts a spin on others words and makes himself sound so great and wonderful.
#42 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:15 AM ESTBob: I really wish all Americans would take the time to get their facts straight. Obama has proposed the following in the US senate:
Obama has sponsored 136 bills since Jan 4, 2005. Two have become law. Obama has co-sponsored 619 bills during the same time period.
Obama has Obama has co-sponsored 619 bills during the same time period.
Bob423 you hit the nail right on the head. This country is in for some real change...I just hope they like what Obama feeds them. McCain's not much better but I know his background. He didn't market himself as well as Barack.
The above info is from wikipedia.com
Bob,
McCain is not the right choice. He ran a lousy and racially filled campaign. He is not on the right side of History. Don't believe McCain lies, go and read the issues and stop watching FOX news.
Voe Obama/Biden
MCSHAME is a sham and a liar! He is no hero - he only got where he is due to his father = FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE RIDE! HE TALKED while he was a POW-he got special consideration by the Viet Cong when they found out who he was. Other POW's at least tried to escape and several died trying! Obama on the other hand has worked hard to get to where he is at!
CHANGE AMERICA
NEEDS! OBAMA/Biden '08
So were all wanting change......... Tell me what kind of change will you be happy with???????? Tell me how Barack has said he will fix the economy?Spread the wealth? Sounds like socialism to me. Fight terrorism? (talk to them???They are committed to wiping out Isreal and ALL INFIDELS!) How are you going to talk them out of that? I am not for either of them but I leave you with this thought... What has Barack Obama done while in the senate???? Other than position himself and make a masterful run at the Oval Office. When he ran for his district he took Tom Dashle's head guy and made him his cheif of staff and told him I don't know how to run this but "I can make a speech". You are all going to find out he is a politician just like McCain. If he wins I will support him, but you will get change. I'm just not sure what change.
#43 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:16 AM ESTThank God! There is someone else on here with half a brain!
John: Do you really know John McCain? I don't think you do!
A WWII bombadier, Hensley returned to the United States with an injury sustained while flying over Europe. While recovering, he met Margueritte Smith and left his wife and two-year old daughter for Smith whom he married in 1945. That same year, he and his brother Eugene began working for Kemper Marley, owner of United Sales Company in Phoenix and United Distributors in Tucson, and purported mafia boss. In a 1953 New Mexico State Police report, Kemper Marley, "is reputed to be the financial backer for the bookies" and "owned a wire service formerly operated in connection with bookmaking of the Al Capone gang." And though never charged, Marley is suspected of ordering the car bomb assassination of journalist Ken Bolles in 1976. In 1948, Jim and Eugene Hensley were indicted for falsifying liquor records to conceal illegal distribution of whiskey against post-war rationing regulations. Both men were convicted in U.S. District Court on federal charges of conspiracy and Jim Hensley was also convicted on seven counts of filing false liquor records. In 1953 Jim Hensley and Kemper Marley were again charged with falsifying liquor records. This time Jim was defended by future Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist. Both men were acquitted. In spite of being a convicted felon, Jim Hensley was somehow granted a state liquor license in 1955 (and later a federal liquor license) to found a beer distributorship. Hensley later switched to distributing exclusively Anheuser-Busch beer, and by 1980 Hensley & Co. Distributors and Hensley & Co. Wholesale had made Jim Hensley a multi-millionaire. Read more about McCain and Hensley in the article by John Doughtery and Amy Silverman.
HOW CLOSELY IS McCAIN TIED TO HIM: Hensley was Cindy McCain's father, John McCain worked for Hensley as Vice President of Public Relations for Hensley & Co. when he and Cindy first married, and Hensley used his money and influence to launch John McCain's political career.
Liddy served four and a half years in prison in connection with his conviction for his role as mastermind of the Watergate break-in and the break-in at the office of the psychiatrist of Daniel Ellsberg, the military analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers. Liddy has acknowledged preparing to kill someone during the Ellsberg break-in "if necessary"; plotting to murder journalist Jack Anderson; plotting with a "gangland figure" to murder Howard Hunt to stop him from cooperating with investigators; plotting to firebomb the Brookings Institution; and plotting to kidnap "leftist guerillas" at the 1972 Republican National Convention — a plan he outlined to the Nixon administration using terminology borrowed from the Nazis. (The murder, firebombing, and kidnapping plots were never carried out; the break-ins were.) During the 1990s, Liddy reportedly instructed his radio audience on multiple occasions on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents — telling listeners, "Go for a head shot; they're going to be wearing bulletproof vests" — and also reportedly said he had named his shooting targets after Bill and Hillary Clinton. Liddy has donated $5,000 to McCain's campaigns since 1998, including $1,000 in February 2008. In addition, McCain has appeared on Liddy's radio show during the presidential campaign, including as recently as May. An online video labeled John McCain On The G. Gordon Liddy Show 11/8/07 includes an audio discussion between Liddy and McCain, whom Liddy described as an "old friend." During the segment, McCain praised Liddy's "adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great," said he was "proud" of Liddy, and said that "it's always a pleasure for me to come on your program." Liddy called for the murder of federal agents, served time in jail, plotted murder - and after that, John McCain applauded him and took his money
HOW CLOSELY IS McCAIN TIED TO HIM: In 1998 Liddy hosted a campaign fundraiser for McCain and McCain has accepted campaign donations from Liddy over the last a decade, most recently in February 2008. McCain has appeared as a guest on Liddy's radio show multiple times, most recently in November 2007 during the presidential campign when Liddy greeted McCain as "an old friend." During the interview, Mccain stated he was
Charles H. Keating, Jr., is the former chairman of the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association. The "Keating Five" were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. McCain and four other senators were accused of improperly aiding Keating., chairman of the failed Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target of an investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB). McCain received $112,000 by 1987 from Keating and Keating's relatives and employees to McCain's Senate campaign, more than any of the other Senators. In addition to campaign contributions, McCain's wife and her father had invested $359,100 in a Keating shopping center in April 1986, a year before McCain met with the regulators. It was also found that the McCains, sometimes accompanied by their daughter and baby-sitter, had made at least nine trips at Keating's expense, sometimes aboard the American Continental Corporation (parent of Lincoln) jet. Three of the trips were made during vacations to Keating's opulent Bahamas retreat at Cat Cay. McCain also did not pay Keating for some of the trips until years after they were taken, after he learned that Keating was in trouble over Lincoln. The Lincoln Savings and Loan's collapse cost taxpayers $3.4 billion After a lengthy investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee criticized McCain for "questionable conduct," and did not mete harsher punishment because of McCain's future presidential ambitions.
HOW CLOSELY IS McCAIN TIED TO HIM: John McCain was a close personal friend of Charles Keating, McCain and his family vacationed at Keating's Bahamas mansion, Cindy McCain had investments with Keating.
In late August, 2006, McCain celebrated his 70th birthday aboard a yacht, the Celine Ashley, rented by Raffaello Follieri and his then-movie star girlfriend Anne Hathaway. Follieri, who posed as Vatican chief financial officer in order to win friends and investments, pleaded guilty in a Manhattan district court to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, eight counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering. As part of the plea, Follieri admitted to misappropriating at least $2.4 million of investor money and redirecting it to foreign personal bank accounts that were disguised as business accounts.
HOW CLOSELY IS McCAIN TIED TO HIM: McCain spent his 70th birthday aboard Follieri's yacht in August 2006.
Renzi, Arizona Congressman 2002-2008, is currently under indictment for conspiracy, wire fraud, money laundering, concealment of money laundering, transactions with criminally derived funds, extortion, insurance fraud and criminal forfeiture. In robocalls to assist Renzi in his re-election bid in October 2006, McCain stated, "Rick has represented the first district of Arizona with tenacity, honesty and integrity beyond reproach." The indictment also names business associate James Sandlin, and Maryland attorney Andrew Beardall. The indictment also refers to two companies involved in the transactions, Company A and Investment Group B. Prosecutors allege Renzi criminally concealed information about land deals to both Company A and Investment Group B, and used his seat on the House Natural Resources Committee to try to force their hand. The indictment says Renzi was trying to help his business associate, Sandlin, finish paying off an $800,000 loan Sandlin owed to Renzi. Renzi was in financial straits and needed the money and also states Renzi also never claimed the $733,000 in his 2006 House financial disclosure statements.
HOW CLOSELY IS McCAIN TIED TO HIM: Until February 2008, Renzi was co-chair of McCain's Arizona 2008 presidential campaign, member of McCain's 2008 National Leadership Team, and a personal friend. In October 2006, McCain stated, "Rick has represented the first district of Arizona with tenacity, honesty and integrity beyond reproach."
Davis is currently John McCain's campaign manager in his bid for the U.S. presidency. Davis' lobbying firm — Davis Manafort — received payments of $15,000 a month between 2006 and August 2008 from Freddie Mac, the troubled mortgage giant that was recently placed under federal conservatorship. As the mortgage crisis has escalated, almost any association with Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae has become politically toxic. But the payments to Davis's firm, Davis Manafort, are especially problematic because he requested the consulting retainer in 2006 — and then did barely any work for the fees, according to two sources familiar with the arrangement who asked not to be identified discussing Freddie Mac business. Aside from attending a few breakfasts and a political-action-committee meeting with Democratic strategist Paul Begala (another Freddie consultant), Davis did "zero" for the housing firm, one of the sources said. Freddie Mac also had no dealings with the lobbying firm beyond paying monthly invoices — but it agreed to the arrangement because of Davis's close relationship with McCain, the source said, which led top executives to conclude "you couldn't say no." Freddie Mac's roughly $500,000 in payments to Davis & Manafort began immediately after Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae in late 2005 disbanded an advocacy coalition that they had set up and hired Mr. Davis to run. From 2000 to the end of 2005, Davis received nearly $2 million as president of the coalition, the Homeownership Alliance, which the companies created to help them oppose new regulations and protect their status as federally chartered companies with implicit government backing. That status let them borrow cheaply, helping to fuel rapid growth but also their increased purchases of the risky mortgage securities that were their downfall.
HOW CLOSELY IS McCAIN TIED TO HIM: Davis is currently John McCain's presidential campaign director, and McCain told Newsweek in 2007 "Rick is a friend, and I trust him."
Currently a chief strategist and senior adviser for John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign, in June 2008, Charlie Black stated in an interview with Fortune magazine that another terrorist attack on the United States would "Certainly it would be a big advantage to him." Black is a registered as a lobbyist and is chairman of one of Washington's lobbying powerhouses, BKSH and Associates. His clients have included right-wing guerrilla leader Jonas Savimbi of Angola and such dictators as Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines and Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire, as well as Nigerian General Ibrahim Babangida, Somali President Mohamed Siad Barre, the Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the countries of Kenya and Equatorial Guinea, among others. As of February 2008, Black said he is still being paid by his firm and does work for clients in his "spare time," recusing himself from lobbying McCain: "I not only do not lobby him [McCain], but if an issue comes up that I have a client on, I will tell him that and stay out of the discussion." Though McCain often portrays himself as an anti-lobbyist politician, his senior advisor has earned more than $57 million dollars since 1998 as a Washington lobbyist. Some of his other clients include: Alcoa - $100,000; Amerada Hess Corp. - $80,000; American Financial Group - $80,000; Asoex Chilean Exporters Assn. - $40,000; AT&T - $1,185,000; AT&T Inc - $720,000; Bristol-Myers Squibb - $690,000; ChevronTexaco - $140,000; Chilean Salmon Farmers Assn. - $100,000; Colombian Textile & Apparel Industry - $80,000; Comasa, de la Optica - $80,000; Contran Corp. - $505,000; Freddie Mac - $820,000; Glaxo Wellcome Inc - $40,000; GlaxoSmithKline - $590,000; Global Strategies Group - $180,000; Honeywell International - $220,000; Importers Service Corp. - $540,000; International Franchise Assn. - $290,000; JP Morgan & Co - $140,000; JP Morgan Chase & Co - $724,000; Lockheed Martin - $487,500; Mortgage Bankers Assn. of America - $140,000; National Assn. of Mortgage Brokers - $60,000; National Foreign Trade Council - $40,000; Occidental Petroleum - $1,650,000; Occidental Petroleum - $1,650,000; Philip Morris - $1,292,500; Tobacco Quota Warehouse Alliance - $120,000; Yukos Oil - $155,000;
HOW CLOSELY IS McCAIN TIED TO HIM: Charles Black is McCain's current chief strategist and a senior advisor to his 2008 presidential campaign. Black said he is still being paid by his firm and does work for clients in his "spare time".
Beginning in 1981, Richard Quinn became the Executive Editor in Chief of the racist Southern Partisan Quarterly Review and as was still listed as the owner of the magazine as recently as 2005. Like McCain did originally, Quinn opposed the Martin Luther King holiday, writing it "should have been rejected because its purpose is vitriolic and profane." In 2000, People For American Way called on McCain to fire Quinn, listing his disparaging of Nelson Mandela as a "terrorist," his promotion of David Duke ("What better way to reject politics as usual than to elect a maverick like David Duke?") and his selling of t-shirts praising Abraham Lincoln's assassination. McCain wouldn't fire him. He rejected the guilt-by-association charge, defending the man and disavowing the publication.
HOW CLOSELY IS McCAIN TIED TO HIM: The that McCain paid Quinn's firms $184,000. An article that was posted on McCain's website in 2008 — that is no longer available — described Quinn as "a senior political consultant to the McCain campaign."
In a 2006 address, Hagee stated, "The United States must join Israel in a pre-emptive military strike against Iran to fulfill God's plan for both Israel and the West... a biblically prophesied end-time confrontation with Iran, which will lead to the Rapture, Tribulation, and Second Coming of Christ." Over the years, Hagee the right-wing pastor has waged "an unrelenting war against the Catholic Church" by "calling it 'The Great Whore,' an 'apostate church,' the 'anti-Christ,' and a 'false cult system.'" During an interview with National Public Radio, Hagee also blamed Hurricane Katrina on gays, saying the devastating storm "was, in fact, the judgment of God against ... New Orleans." The city, he continued, "had a level of sin that was offensive to God" because "there was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came."
HOW CLOSELY IS McCAIN TIED TO HIM: Despite McCain's statement in 2000 that "Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis Farrakhan and Al Sharpton on the left, or Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell on the right," McCain spent more than a year actively seeking Hagee's endorsement. In February 2008, McCain stated, "I'm very honored by Pastor John Hagee's endorsement today." Only after public outcry did McCain repudiate Hagee.
Parsley has stated that "Islam is an anti-Christ religion that intends through violence to conquer the world." Parsley has further stated that "The fact is that America was founded — I'm gonna stagger you right now — America was founded in part with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed." He also said that Mohammed received revelations from demon spirits.
HOW CLOSELY IS McCAIN TIED TO HIM: McCain actively sought Parsley's support to get evangelical votes. In February 2008, McCain stated, "I'm truly honored today to have one of one of the truly great leaders in America, a moral compass, a spiritual guide — Pastor Rod Parsley." . Again, after public outrage over Parsley, McCain was forced to repudiate him.
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's husband, Todd, twice registered as a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, a fierce states' rights group whose primary goal is for the state of Alaska to secede from the United States. Sarah Palin herself was never a member of the party, according to state officials. Founded in 1973 by Joe Vogler, Vogler stated, "I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions." "Keep up the good work," Sarah Palin for their 2008 convention, telling them to "keep up the good work."
Andrew K. McCain, sat on the boards of Silver State Bank and of its parent, Silver State Bancorp, both in Nevada, but resigned in July citing "personal reasons," corporate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission show. Andrew McCain also was a member of the bank's audit committee, responsible for oversight of the company's accounting. Regulators on Friday, September 5, shut down Silver State Bank, saying the Nevada bank failed because of losses on soured loans, mainly in commercial real estate and land development.
HOW CLOSELY IS McCAIN TIED TO HIM: Andrew McCain is John McCain's son from his first marriage to Carol Shepp, the wife John McCain cheated on and left behind for Cindy Hensley. stopthinkvote.com
Christine: didn't say I knew him just don't know the REAL Barack Obama?
I'm crossing my fingers that the GOOD guy will win THIS time- we need Barack Obama's leadership!!!
is Obama really an American, was he really born in Hawii? And if Obama wins.........how are the WHITES going to feel about being a minority.............? yeah think about it.
#46 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:22 AM ESTErn: Come on, are you kidding me? Do you honestly think they would let him run for President, if they were not 100% sure he was an American. Think for yourself! Statements like yours are very sad! I am white, and I am voting for Obama and proud of it! He is 1/2 white, remember?
Smears claiming Barack Obama doesn’t have a birth certificate aren’t actually about that piece of paper — they’re about manipulating people into thinking Barack is not an American citizen.
The truth is, Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in 1961, a native citizen of the United States of America.
“The truth: Sen. Barack Obama, born in Hawaii, is a Christian family man with a track record of public service.”

Ern - What a racist idiot!
No ERN...he was born on Mars to Slovakian parents and had all his documents changed and oh...yeah.. when you become the minority he will make you work on a plantation you should be really scared!!! yeah they are all out to get you! RUN!\
Unfreakinbealivable!
thank you.............obviously you are a bit wet behind the ears. speaking of running, start practicing
Then Obama should have no problem proving it. He says he was born at a hospital in Hawaii, his sister says it was a different hospital, his Kenyan grandmother says he was born in Kenya. So what is it ?
There is a lawsuit against him for this reason, when he moved to Indonesia did he give up his US citizenshi ( if he had one ) ? This is just another one of Obama's and DNC cover ups.
Like now he says he disagrees with Wright, it took him 20 yrs and and running for President to fially decide he doesn't like the ANTI American sentiment spewing from his pastor and best friend ???? Come on people
Do you all know John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone? His birth certificate proves it. As does Barack Obama's, which states he was born in Hawaii.
Point is moot anyway. if you are born to an American citizen, you ARE an American citizen. So let's put this useless argument to rest. They are both Americans.
Go Obama!
Ern - do me a favor please, and just explain what you mean when you say that if Obama becomes president, you'll be in the minority...are you in the minority now?... and how does one man becoming president create millions of "majority" people instantly that were not there before to make you a minority, how do you mean minority? How does that work?.
Now if you can answer that intelligently, without suggesting that I am slow, or wet behind the ears, and without sounding like an intollerant racist, Then I will take my comments back.
Thank you.
PS: I don't have to run. I live in a country that doesn't have to deal with this whole black and white BS. Wasn't it GOD who said all men are born/created equal? Does not your constitution also sate the same? It doesn't say "All white men are..." Does it Ern. I think it says All men Ern, but I'm not sure, I'm wet behind the ears.
A man of mixed heritage gets into the white house and whites turn into a minority?
What did you smoke for breakfast? Minority implies less than. If I had 10 apples and 20 oranges, the apples are the minority fruit even if I placed the apples on top of the oranges.
I think that once your IQ is safely into the two digit zone, the mixed race issue is a moot point.
Remember your world history folks, if you are of european decent, there is a high probability of your being mixed with Greek, Arab, and North African blood...this boils down to HERITAGE, the only RACE I know of is the human race.
Carolanne
McCains parents were American..............Obama's were from.............? my point is simple, if his birth is so clean cut and dry..............then why is it being investigated with our tax dollars? why is it there are 2 certificates, and the one from Hawii doesn't have the hospitals name on it? this doesn't concern you?
Thank you Repo girl...
Don't expect too many people to understand that race, colour, creed, and all that doesn't matter as to what makes a great human being, but ignorance sure makes a stupid one.
Well, it has been a long, hard campaign. I pray the man of honor, intelligence, integrity and the ability to lead and unite our country will win. Believe the American voters will vote for the future and survival of our country and that is a vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
#47 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:23 AM ESTOur only hope for the future. Go Obama!!!
I pray for you and your family.... God be with you.
#48 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:24 AM ESTGod help us. The masses are being led like puppets and Obama is the biggest puppet of all. Big money and false promises have bought you all once again. You've played right into their hands. For once we had someone like John McCain who suffered for this country and who deserves to run this country, but instead we risk getting another puppet because our citizens lack independent thinking. Any wonder why the media is flooded with Obama? Any wonder where the big money came from to float his campaign? Any wonder why he's promised to fix every single issue? You say you're hungry for change now? If he wins, in 4 years the word hungry will change to DESPERATE and for once maybe the masses won't be led.
#49 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:26 AM ESTGod help you! I think God would be very proud of Americans who vote for a President who will look out for all, not the few. Isn't that what Jesus would do? Your tactics are shameful! Fear has won out with the right side of this country. Take the time to open your mind, and think for yourself.
Christine, Obama isn't looking out for anyone but himself and his vanity ! He has a ego that has to be fed. He had to be presented at Investco field ? wants the world to love him ? wants Americans to follow him blindly ? Please he's a bad joke that needs to be taught hummilation.
The nastiness and meanness of many of you who have made comments here is shameful. Everyone has their reasons for voting for their candidate, you can at least show some respect for others opinions. It is easy to see here in this discussion, why many the world over dislike Americans and why there is growing violence in our society. Now I can see how the Nazis killed off the Jews, they allowed themselves to become like you, filled with hate for their fellow human beings. Shame.
#51 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:26 AM ESTBAKED ALASKA FOR EVERYONE!!!!
Congratulations President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden!
#52 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:27 AM ESTI think that this will be a landslide. Forget about the Bradley effect I think that this will be a Mccain effect
#53 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:28 AM ESTThere will be four words for John McCain's defeat:
George Bush
Sarah Palin
#54 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:29 AM ESTEvery time we go to the grocery market, buy clothes, gas, school supplies, etc. you get the idea, we ARE paying taxes so even if someone is on the "dole" as you call it they are STILL paying taxes. Read a book, have a thought, get an idea! Dang...
So true SandyLee! We have seen that change so far with the congress. Just think what Obama will do if he does win! That is why we would rather stay overseas to finish our contract with the military. There will BE NOTHING for us to return to.
#55 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:30 AM ESTAttention Hillary supporters:
Today is election day, the day we can make our voices heard ! Remember whenObama said " anyone would be a fool NOT to consider Hillary as his VP " Well that fool didn't ! He also led all of us to believe that he was considering her, when in fact he NEVER intended to. He never cared about our feeling or ur opinions. All he wanted was our votes and therefore lied about his intentions.
Also remember how people on this blog trashed her and tore her down, making fun of her and us. Then they had the nerve to tell us that we should get over it and fall in line and vote Obama ? Remember when they said we had NO choice, but to vote for Obama ?
Remember how you felt when Obama and Howard Dean stole the nomination from her, remember how upset you were and how obama and his supporters didn't care and how mean they are.
Well, today, we do have a voice. Today we can send a VERY CLEAR message to Obama, Dean and obama supporters. Today our feelings should be heard !
Today when you go out to vote, make it know that you're not happy, either vote for McCain or write in Hillarys name. I just left voting and I wrote in Hillarys name. I was not the only one. A group of us did it. We can make a difference ! YES WE CAN !
Today........ Remember Hillary !
#56 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:31 AM ESTI was a Hillary voter! Now I am an Obama supporter! Hillary wants us to vote for Obama. I trust Hillary and know she is doing what is best for America! You should be ashamed of yourself!
why then go and vote? you had choices but you decided to write someone else's name that wasn't even on the ballot. What a waste! I don't understand why go and vote then if your not voting for anyone on the ballot.
Hillary would have been the better choice...........and when McCain picked his Vice President to be, the oh so sad look on Obama's face was priceless. I am sure he knew then of his error. I believe, had Obama choosen Hillary.....McCain would have been dead in the water for sure. He may still be dead in the water...............but if Obama wins, we will be dead in the water. I hope the Media is happy with the way they have managed to sway the public for Obama.
I smell a Repug mole! If you truly are a Democrat then you are going against what Hillary would want you to do! SHAME ON YOU! Stay home - do not vote then!
Pay attention to what Obama does not what he says.
McCain/PALIN ALL THE WAY! If you love your freedom and your flag, you better not vote for Obama. I cannot support a man who will not put his hand over his heart during the pledge. I don't want more of the same, but Obama is NOT the answer!
#57 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:31 AM ESTIm voting for NADER. Hes on the ballot in 45 states. At least you know what he is all about. He should of been in the debates makes you wonder what Obama and Mccain are afraid of.
#58 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:33 AM ESTvote for obama: its time to change things around for gooooooooooooooddddd
hope will come in our live every day after making the right chane for America
#59 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:33 AM ESTHitler was right, control propaganda, promise purpose and change for the better and the weak will follow.
#60 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:33 AM ESTHow sad of you to compare anyone to that kind of monster.
It is 2008 and apparently racism is still very much alive.
Kathy - how did you know that Comrade was talking about McCain?
What some people dont understand is Congress passes bills and makes the decisions. Who makes up the house majority the democrats and ever since the democrats have the house majority America has gone down hill, it is not the presidents.
#61 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:34 AM ESTOne human man alone does not have the power. You are correct. But, one man with the backing of the majority in the Senate and the Congress can corrupt anything he wants to.
McCain went to Carl Rove and lost his Maverick credentials thus reminding everyone of the Bush Administration. I look for him to probably get a post on Mr. Obama's cabinet just to instill some sort of unity.
#62 - Tue Nov 4, 2008 9:35 AM ESTI don't think that would be a good idea, although I am sure Obama will put a few republicans in his cabinet. I don't think he should put McCain in there, the man is too divisive. I was sorely disappointed when he didn't choose Hillary to be his VP but I think he showed a bit of strength not doing this. He will know how to unite the parties.
