"America''s youth listen to Rap and think it''s music.

What do kids know about who is qualified to lead this nation? I remember the mock national elections held in school. What did I know about politics when I was a kid; nothing! They haven''t lived long enough to make an informed decision. That''s why they have more automobile crashes than other age groups."

I bet they know enough to stay away from you.

Is it black music and that''s why you hate it? Are you a racist or do you just not like rap music?

Rap music is just as good as Country and Western (which I also listen to - but none of that Garth Brooks cr@p - Johnny Cash is where it''s at), rock, classic, electronic and 60''s, 70''s and 80''s.

Heck, throw a bit of Glen Miller in there as well - it''s all good.

Who is McCain kidding???? He doesn''t understand much about this country, the people in it or the economy. Or he wouldn''t have been one of Bush''s favorite lap dogs for 8 years. He keeps talking about ''change coming''. When he is the same old regurgitated mess. Why did he wait until now to try and change things???? The rest of us knew Bush was on a collision coarse with his ''borrow and spend'' Republican policies. That eventually it was going to blow up in his face (it always does). Right now we need to start investing money in this countries infrastructure and create jobs in the worst way. Or the economy is never going to get better. But, that isn''t McCain''s plan. He has said it numerous times. As far as Republican''s are concerned jobs and infrastructure are pork!!!!

And what state of the Union do you call home? Tell me so I can look up the number of *** offenders in your state."

What does that have to do with the Republicans and GW Bush not adopting McCains "solutions" to the economic crisis because they are cr@p?

Are you trying to impress me with the fact that you know how to use Google?

Are you some kind of a moron?

Well, if we ever need a Manchurian Candidate, I''ll be sure to vote for him.

But we don''t.

Let''s see what other Vietnam Vets - who have also been through fire (literally) think of McCain.

Now lets have a look at some nice photos of John McCain hugging the same Vietnamese that apparently "tortured" him.

And you put your full support behind Barrack Obama after listening to his lofty speeches laced with generalities about how to lead this troubled nation?

If you and millons of other Americans buy into this county-fair barker''''s pitch then good luck to AMERICA because we''''re all going to need it badly come November fifth."

Generalities? McCain is throwing around more generalities than everyone else combined.

Tell me this:

If McCain''s ideas are so good and will get us out of this mess that we''re in, then why hasn''t GW Bush and the Republicans implemented them already?

Because they won''t work.

The fact is John McCain served his country during wartime and spent many years as a POW during that service. McCain has been through the fire.

Posted by KyRock1 at 08:59 A

Do you have any idea how many soldiers were POW''s? Do you have any idea how many of them used their POW status to promote themselves?
None that I know of, they are proud and private.

What would you say about a guy who initiates a startup company 22 months ago. Raises 250 million in capital, has over 3 million individual investors, builds an organization with offices in 50 states, and beats out all his competition within 12 months.

That would be Barak Obama. Executive experience we can count on!

What is the issue with votes? Don''t these people know that their vote does not count. Get a clue, not everyones vote counts. Only those electorial votes count, not the average American Citizen''s vote, only those special people with voting power counts. Rhetoric, rhetoric, and more rhetoric from both sides, saying whatever they think we want to hear before the election and then after Nov 5th they are off doing their thing and they quickly forget the people. I have lost my faith in this form of government, it is now run by the few and represent an even smaller group. It is all about wealth and who has what, well this government has taken almost everything not nailed down and swindled the rest through their misuse of the laws. Thank you but I''ll pass on wasting my time casting a vote that is not counted.

I am voting for McCain for one reason and one reason only, because he is white.

Posted by jamesm12341 at

Sharpest knife in the drawer? Wow--did you just make that up?
Doesn''t that go back to the 70''s---my grandkids don''t even use those phrases.

I think most people here know how to spell james, sometimes just hit the wrong keys on the keyboard, but hey--you humor us with your nonsense.

"After watching the video clip about McCain then decide if you want an unproven leader like Barrack Obama taking command at the helm when the ship of state is caught up in a financial hurricane."

So, let me get this straight - you watched a video from McCain''s website, which was written for McCain, produced for McCain, and recorded for McCain and that''s convinced you that he''s the right person for the job?

Gee - they were right - a sucker is born every minute.

Good luck - you''ll need it because Obama is going to win.

So let me get this straight---this article states McCain unveiling tough new rhetoric and another states Obama Has New Economic Proposals---

Hmmmm, who would you vote for The "fighter" or the one with new "ideas"?

In times like this--new ideas make more sense--rhetoric is, well, just rhetorical.

I can''''t believe how one sided the media is about covering the candidates and they have no shame about the unfair coverage! America look beyond the media and vote!!!!!!!!!!!

..................................

I''m sure Democrats feel the same way. Look how many articles blame the mortgauge crisis on loans to poor minorities instead of Republicans, it''s bunk but they still make the news.

Hostile Territory

Much attention has been focused on ugly comments aimed at Barack Obama from some people attending rallies for John McCain and Sarah Palin.

But consider these incidents that have received little or no media attention. At least four demonstrators at a Sarah Palin rally in Philadelphia Saturday wore t-shirts that referred to Palin as a four-letter word too obscene to quote here.

Friday, vandals attacked the York County GOP headquarters in South Carolina. The Rock Hill Herald reports the culprits stole campaign signs, defaced a McCain banner and spray-painted "Republican means slavery."

The Portland Tribune reports two men were charged with felonies after making a Molotov cocktail and burning down a McCain sign.

And, a YouTube video shows a pro-McCain march in New York''''s liberal Upper West Side during a street fair in September. The McCain supporters were greeted with middle-finger salutes %u2014 sometimes two at a time %u2014 and told to "go home" and that they had "no brain." One heckler even likened the marchers to Nazi Germany.

I can''''t believe how one sided the media is about covering the candidates and they have no shame about the unfair coverage! America look beyond the media and vote!!!!!!!!!!!

Was Obama or Biden on a soap box revving up the crowd with rhetoric that caused these individuals to do these acts...

Thought not...
