Palin has more experience than Obama? Like Bush had the experience to run this country? Yeah run it into the ground.

Most Americans are not taking polls. They are watching, waiting and ready to vote for OBAMA08. The polls mean nothing. And the only hype when it comes to Americans, so it seems in the media, is who the whites and blacks are voting for. There are a whole lot of races in between. More than black or white. If their countries want Obama, they are going to comply with that on the ballots.

We talk about who has the most experiance to lead the country, well isn''t "experiance that got us into the situation that we are in now? We don''t need experiance. All experiance means in politics is a new way to get around doing what needs to be done. We need new ideas, a new look at old problems, To me experiance is old school politics. If thats what Mcain/Palin is offering, then we need to go another way.
Go Obama/Biden08

JOHN MCCAIN IS NOT A WAR HERO
By his own admission Senator Mccain
Broke, under his Vietnamese interrogaters,
During his Capture in Vietnam-

I am no McCain supporter but your comments are outrageous and do nothing to help Obama.

McCain is clearly a war hero. He fought for his country, got captured and was tortured. His injuries show to this very day as he cannot lift his arms past his shoulders due to being bound and tortured for years by his captors.

Any man, tortured like McCain was would break in some fashion or another. I undertsand he gave names at one point - the names of pro-football players. My guess is that you would have screamed like a little girl and told anything and everything the enemy wanted to hear. Luckily, you will never know what it is like to be tortured.

But being a war hero is not the only criteria to be President. His decisions and actions in congress and in support of Bush-Cheney in my opinion disqualify him for the job as President. Bush-Cheney-McCain policies cannot continue for the good of America and the free world.

.. Wake up America..don''''t get stuck on party lines or ideology. ..PhillyLatina "

I applaud your call for America to wake up! But you are one of those people.

Don''t get stuck on party lines? Have you seen what the Republicans have done to this country over the last 8 years? George Bush,the head of the Republican party got EVERYTHING HE WANTED FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS! A Republican Congress, every bill he introduced put into law, got his war, got his tax cuts, got his environmental policies and an infinite number of his people appointed into government; most incompetent cronies, and spent $9 trill all on credit.

The result? I will not insult your intelligence to state the obvious.

Now we are supposed to believe that McCain, the #3 man in the government behind Bush and Cheney for the last 8 years, and at the top of the republican party for 20+ years will reform government? Are you kidding me? You just got to be.

Obama is not a Socialist. He is intelligent, well spoken. He has fresh new ideas that have never occurred to the Republicans. One example, an energy policy.

Yes, America needs to wake up and look at the 2 candidates and elect Obama. If McCain is elected, we will have another 4 years of Bush politics. McCain doesn''t deserve the Presidency after what he has done in partnership with Bush and Cheney.

I listened to McCain. I listened to Obama.

There is no contest. Obama has the answers. McCain looks uninspired.

"McCain, Obama Sound Call To Serve"

A call from 2 politicians for Americans to serve their country. Well, you know which Americans above all others could start serving their country before everyone else? Congress.

Did anyone see McCain say on CNN Presidential Forum (when answering the community organizer question) "it''s easy for me to go to Washington and frankly be somewhat divorce from the day to day challenges people have." Now answer this...how can McCain be this change agent if he doesn''t know what our problems are? You can go to CNN and see the clip for yourself. I would take that clip and slam him with it.
