you want a Big Brother 1984-type society, McBush is the one for you. Why does the GOP always want to intrude in private matters as long as personal behavior is concerned, but always wants the government to keep away from financial affairs? I''''m sick of these moralistic authoritarian figures that the GOP keeps hacking up.

What do you think is going to happen under Obama''s big government plan to take care of everyone from any number of government programs run on tax payer money? Do you really think after the government takes over the of job health care, oil regulation, banking, and all the other big ideas coming forward that YOU are going to have a say in how things run? When was the last time you saw a government program running effeciently and with every consideration of customer service in place...are you serious?

%u201CThere is not an independent voter in America, said Goldstein, %u201Cwho is going to choose a president on the basis of the Supreme Court.%u201D

I love these kind of universal, blanket statements that speak for everyone...coming from someone who speaks for no one.

What is wrong with questioning the policies of an imperial power like America? How can you make change for the better if you don''t question reality and don''t dissent? Does anyone still think we are on the right road with Butch in the White House and McSame leering in the wings? God help U.S.

I do not trust Obama who has not served his country proudly,in some form or another, or who feels ''obligated'' to wear a USA pin ( having it on only in question) or to be at a Church that hates Americans for over 20 years. Period. Whatever policy''s he promises is mute to me. I am white 30''s yr young woman in the middle of America and I believe I speak for all women who feel that honor and patriotism are first and foremost to being a leader of a nation.

Let''''s see how many of those Clinton voters are going to be won over by McCain''''s "new" view on Roe v. Wade.

That''s just the tip of the iceberg, check out my earlier post. If McCain appoints more right wing nut jobs to the court, our nation is screwed for another 30 or more years. This is just plain scary!

One more conservative justice on teh court will bring back the reactionary court that the US had during the 1930''s. The one that ruled roosevelt social programs unconstitutional.

I do support the GOP, because they are the ''''''''brighter'''''''' yet ''''''''misunderstood'''''''' party. I have faith in the system and cannot with a clear conscience support a man, such as Obama, whom I have not been convinced has a shred of credibility or experiance. Between the two choices it is important to vote- one must choose- if you want to be heard after the fact- so, the bottom line- MCCAIN gets my vote- He is a Patriot and Hero. Sure, you can disagree, this is America, afterall. Have a good day!

In my book McCain is a flip-flopper that has flip when Bu$h has said Flop.

From torture to No offshore drilling he has changed his views with the blowing winds.

Lincoln Savings and Loan, headed by Keating, had become embroiled in scandal and federal regulators were looking to shut it down and investigate. Keating, who had known McCain since the latter''s days as a lay about schmoozer for his father in law the Vice President of Public Relations for the Phoenix Budweiser distributor, began looking for a way to get the government to drop the investigation. Between 1982 and 1987, Keating had given McCain $112,000. Directly after two meetings with Keating, McCain called Edwin J. Gray, the chief of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, which was investigating Keating, and requested that Gray ease off the investigation. Gray testified that four other Senators, all of whom were recipients of political donations from Keating, had also contacted him with the same request. These became known as the "Keating Five." The saddest part of the entire situation, even more sad than the 21,000 mostly elderly people who had their entire life savings completely wiped out, was that it brought the appearance of conflict upon Senator McCain. And what a terrible impression that can be. Almost as terrible as working your *** off your entire life, little by little putting enough money away for retirement, and then right before retirement finding out your life savings has been robbed from you and instead of working to try to get your money back, your own senator is busy trying to quash the investigation.
yeah i''m voting for this guy

No, actually we cant disagree. If either McCain or Obama win, then their policy can be forced on us under the threat of being shot if we do not comply or choose to spend our money differently. That is not respectful of disagreement -- it is merely an act of coercion disguised as allowing disagreement. If a rapist says the victim can disagree if they want then I suspect the rapist wont get let off jailtime with the argument that ''hey, at least verbal disagreement was a kind of disagreement that was tolerated''.
