Comments on: McCain's Acceptance Speech Draws Bigger Audience Than Obama's

It seems to me that the two candidates are very CLOSE in the polls and in the number of TV viewers, etc. Anyway, I am an undecided voter and I have a basic question? Why is taxing the rich such a desirable thing to do? Isn''t our economy based on everyone getting his/her chance to be rich? Shouldn''t we just have a consistent tax rate for all? I am waiting for more details from these 2 candidates on their specific plans.... THEN, I''ll decide who I am voting for. I don''t even listen to all of the political name-calling.

Barack Obama will make a better President than John McCain. The white male continues to think it is of the superior race and the superior gender. Some white men should be ashamed of their forefathers for killing the Native Americans, Aborigines, the Mauri people of New Zealand, the Aztecs of Mexico, and stealing their land. Bush stole from the American public with 8 years of trashy administration. Enough alrady!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Obama. If I was white, I would be ashamed of the history of the white male. Therefore Republicans should be ashamed of the history of the last 8 years.

McCain has mobilized the hard right wing of the Republican Party and they are coming out in droves -you know- the Ralph Reed, Phyllis Shattley, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O''Reilly crowd. They were the power behind Bush and now with Palin they will be the power behind McCain all carefully orchestrated by the Karl Rove band of dirty tricksters. So we change the name from Bush to McCain but that is the end of the change he now mumbles on about. Furthermore McCain has turned this election into a soap opera about Sarah Palin and her family. When people are losing their jobs, their homes, and soldiers are losing their lives McCain wants to turn extremist social issues. Why are we talking about Roe v. Wade again instead of the economy? Why has religious fundamentalism reared its ugly head again instead of a debate about energy or foreign policy? This is the cynical legacy of a fake maverick pretending to be a straight talker. McCain has turned this election into a three ring circus to avoid facing the truth: We have had eight years of a nightmarish Bush administration and he will bring us four more years of the same economic policies and enthusiasm for war. The McCain of 2000 is dead, meet the McCain of 2008, former war hero who now hides behind the skirts of PitBull Palin ! He can run but he cannot hide from 8 years of failure.

A simple explanation why more watched McCain than Obama? Neilsen does not measure those got tired of all the political commentary and decided to watch it on C-SPAN.

people wanted to listen to sarah and not obama or michelle they had nothing to say and will have nothing to offer america

The little lady in the kitchen will put away her apron and VOTE on election day for a chance to have a woman in the White House ---whether she agrees with her or NOT!!! That''s what the bama is worried about.

A worker at Denver''s Invesco Field saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic National Convention that were headed for the garbage.

Even though The Democrats had no use for the flags, the Republicans did. The Democrats'''''''' discarded flags were used at a McCain/Palin event in Colorado Springs.

You would think that when your standard bearer has a record of disrespecting the flag, and even replaces the American flag with the Obama logo, his campaign would be a lot more sensitive to the issue.

Liberals have proven they are the: Americans Losers.

This was no surprise, it seems all Obama can do effectively is make a speech. They drove the one real candidate out the door and now BEG her to help him get elected. A sorry state of affairs if I ever saw one.

There is a COVER!!! Here is what Rick Davis has to say about public access to Sarah Palin, http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032553/vp/26559911#26559911.

It appears the Rick Davis is running the campaign instead of the nominee. What is wrong with this picture? We better be skeptical.

Vets we heard McCain extol his POW experience, but if you listened to his acceptance speech. This man will create addition tension in the world to line the pockets of war profiteers like Blackwater.

This man has dementia like Regan during the last few years of his administration. He can remember the past with clarify, yet unable to remember what happened yesterday.

American, please join me in bring in a fresh administration so that the truth behind the wars and decision-making can be exposed.
