McCain Holds Advantage In Demographic Renowned For Voter Turnout

[hungryman9]

Someone whom America isn%u2019t aware of is backing Obama so he can be their puppet if he gets into office. Will we ever know who this is? (Probably not.)

Let''s see Joe if I was a Republican I would say your comments are very unpatriotic. How dare you attack our Educational System. Sounds to me like you have a problem with America. Maybe you should go to France. Sound Familiar. So let me throw this one out. So if what you say is true, which I totally do not believe, why not allow the Republican system of governing take over. You may not agree with the major platform issues of the Democratic Administration but those more radical elements will never get passed because the Republicans will block it at every chance. Past Examples of Democrats stopping Republican legislation ie; Privatization of Social Security, A Woman''s right to Choose, 911 commission, Iraq Study Group, Stem Cell Research, Allow Semi Automatic Weapons on our Streets (oops the extremists won that one) etc etc. It is time for a change plain and simple. Our system of checks and balances will alleviate your worst nightmares about electing a politician that actually lifted himself up and succeeded unlike the candidates the Republicans continually put forward these days.

I preached in my day that NOW is the time for CHANGE. NOW is the time to BELIEVE in our cause. Yes WE can through my election! Now Barack Obama is preaching the same message 70 years later! I am proud to have the audacity to have hope without truth in voting for him!

I think Hitler and Obama are a lot alike. Obama doesn''''t have a mtache. I think Obama is full of hate and using you people and once he is in office you will want him out.

I saw the McCain ad this morning where they jump on Obama because he chose not to go into the hospital to see wounded soldiers. It was the right choice. Had he done it they would be all over him for politicizing the visit. There was no way that he could avoid being trashed. I had already committed to Obama but if there was any doubt in my mind, which there wasn''t, that ad would have pushed my over to Obama. What happened to the the clean campaign pledge that McCain made? Guess he flipped on that too.

[element51]

Hitler_Obama....It is quite obvious that you are very uneducated. To compare Hitler to Obama is absolutely insane. I would even take exception were you to compare Hitler to McCain. The evil that Hitler brought to this world was and still is beyond belief. If you object to Obama''s policies then please by all means express your opinions but putting up posts like this is just embarrassing. People all over the world read these threads and to have an American saying things like this is an embarrassment to us all. This type of post is nothing but empty rhetoric and adds absolutely nothing to the discussion.

"Third, Liberal/liberty means freedom to think for yourself, and make your own choices and the wisdom and moral fiber to grant that same freedom to everyone.%u201D

Which is all fine and good. The problem today is when they make BAD choices, they want the rest of the country to bail them out. The part of your statement about moral fiber should be taken out. They do NOT want to extend that to everyone else. They want to force me to see things thier way, on every issue out there.
I''ll not fall for it, thank you just the same.
I wish you a good day, Sir, and I''ll let you get back to coercing blank minds into voting for socialism.

they make BAD choices - Are you for real ?

Bush/Cheney from 2001 to 2009

Republican Congress from 1994 to 2006

Now there is some BAD choices...

John McCain judgement and experience that only comes with age:

"There''s not a history of clashes that are violent between Sunnis and Shiahs. So I think they can probably get along." [MSNBC, 4/23/03]

" I believe that the success will be fairly easy." [CNN, 9/24/02]

"We''re not going to get into house-to-house fighting in Baghdad. " [CNN, 9/29/02]

"But the point is that, one, we will win this conflict. We will win it easily." [MSNBC, 1/22/03]

"But I believe that the Iraqi people will greet us as liberators." [NBC, 3/20/03]

"It''s clear that the end is very much in sight." [ABC, 4/9/03]

"This is a mission accomplished.." [This Week, ABC, 12/14/03]

Want to repeat the last 8 catastrophic eight years? Vote McSame!

First it was Rowdy Texan then it was Rowdy Wican and now it appears to be WellHell3. I''m wondering why the need to change screen names. When your writing style is so easily identifiable why do you feel the need to change your screen name? We all know who you are and what you stand for and some agree with every word you write and the rest of us see it for what it really is. Do you actually think we are that stupid? I guess you do.

I''m a senior and I find McCain untrustworthy. He tells people what they want to here. He''s against a time line, he''s for a time line. He''s against Bush%u2019s tax cuts for the wealthy, he''s for Bush''s tax cuts. He''s against tax increases, but will raise SS taxes. He''s against torture, he supports torture. He''s against overturning Roe v. Wade, he''s for overturning Roe v. Wade. He criticizes Obama for not going overseas, he criticizes Obama for going overseas. It goes on and on and on. If he ever had principle (I''m beginning to wonder) he gave it up for the election. The man is NOT trustworthy.

[irliberal]

Republicans: The party that wouldn''t even exist at all anymore except for their platform of hating gay people and anyone who doesn''t subscribe to their particular brand of religion. These days, being a "conservative" has nothing to do with being conservative fiscally, it just means you hate minorities, love war, fetuses (until they are born) and have no sense of fiscal responsibility whatsoever. The last eight years have proven that beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Over SIX years of war. Civil rights breached by our commander in chief. Internationally recognized torture sanctioned by the White House. Two invaded and currently occupied countries. Hundreds of thousands dead, including OVER 4500 American soldiers. Billions of our tax dollars spent, and yes, are still being spent to this very moment.

Iraq, which had NOTHING to do with 9/11, is now an occupied country which will implode when we get out of it, whether that happens one, two, ten or five hundred years from now. A society that CHOOSES to be ruled by religion cannot become a democracy; it can only be a theocracy with voting cards.

Bin Laden still lives. The mastermind of 9/11 still walks free.

The one, simple word for this is: failure. No amount of deception, indignation or wailing by republicons can change these facts.

Failure of Bush. Failure of Cheney. Failure of the republicans.

Time for a change.

[omega39-2009]

the only seniors voting for McCain will be those that benefited nicely from the Bush tax Cuts, Phil (let them eat cake) Gramm comes to mind. The majority, who are on fixed incomes, will not vote to continue the Republican policies that have robbed them of their retirements.

My 91 year old father, a white male, tells me that the Bush/Cheney Administration is by far the worst ever to govern this country. He is a registered voter and will cast his ballot for Sen. Obama in November. My wife and I are in our early to mid fifties, and we are both voting for Sen. Obama. I wouldn''''t underestimate the intelligence of seniors, except for McSame who unfortunately suffers from progressive senile dementia. In any event, we could see seniors make a wholesale turn to Sen. Obama come November.

Who is Mcsame?

[larue21]

Both of my parents are in their seventies - they are active, vibrant and can work circles around a lot of younger people. And, they are both voting for Obama. The last thing they want to see is their grandchildren saddled with a third Bush term.
