%u201CI won%u2019t let you down%u201D is a nice feel-good phrase, but he couldn%u2019t give one example to convince anyone that he has a clue how to lead the US into the 2020%u2019s. What will be our industrial base? Our technology? How should our cities look? How will be cooperate with the EU, UN, NATO? How will we plan now to compete with the kind of technological innovation that China is developing and implementing? How do you cut government spending and invest in the kind of social infrastructure that he talks about? Nuclear power plants, sophisticated energy plans, retraining of the 20 million structurally unemployed, health care for special needs kids, enhanced military presence, feeding and medicating the aging baby boomers. Sounds pricey to me. The rhetoric about service, honesty, and God is like macaroni & cheese. Fills you up but clogs your arteries. %u201CValue our principles over power%u201D? %u201CCatch up with history%u201D? What the heck does that mean? Shake up Washington DC? Can you serve that with fries? The guy has arteriosclerosis.

If McCain wants to reform Washington, he should start by reforming the process by which taxes are cut but gov''t spending is not. The easiest way for him to do that is to vote for Obama. A vote for Obama is a vote to punish the GOP for NOT cutting spending, but instead handing the cost of their government services to their children via the national debt.

Democrats raise taxes. Its tough because its politically unpopular, but they don''t lie about it. Everyone knows they raise taxes because they do.

Republicans are SUPPOSED to cut gov''t spending. Its also tough because its politically unpopular (everyone wants good roads, schools, police, etc). However, the GOP LIES ABOUT CUTTING SPENDING. THEY DONT DO IT. They''ve NEVER done it. They just SAY they believe in ''small government'' but they NEVER make the gov''t smaller, even when, for 6 of the last 8 years, they OWN EVERY BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT THEY SAY THEY DESPISE!!!

Our $10 trillion national debt is 100% the fault of the GOP. Those people need to be taken out to the woodshed and BEANED!!! HARD!!! This election is our opportunity to do just that.

I think I''m gonna watch it just for the entertainment value. I hope he does a similar speech as Palin and the others with the red meat. It''s gonna be a good one. If he does what the rest have it will be in favor of us dems and even for independents. It will totally disgust most and we''ll see the negativity, hatred spewing through out tv sets. Yeah...plus they have been passing out alcohol so much at the rnc...most of these people are drunk, look at them. It''s entertaining as heck. Yeah they say country first. Bunch of hypocrites. Now McCain is gonna take the change line. He doesn''t offer any kind of change. Unless he plans to get an exorcism...or a labotomy...not sure. He is offering MORE OF THE SAME...I think it might play briefly but this new hurricaane is going to steal the spotlight..it''ll steal his thunder. Woohoo..thank God!

Just ask yourself if you want Palin, who says what she does and what we are doing in Iraq is God''s will, as pResident. Ask yourself, are you better off than you were 4 years ago? And do you want more of the McSame?

MCCAIN IS AN IDIOT JUST LIKE HIS SUPPORTERS!

"If you think hearing about it is bad then maybe you should try 5 years as a P.O.W. and see how you like that.

McCain should be thanking the NV for not sending him home in a box, instead of calling them "*****".

50,000 guys didn''t get to come home, dump their wife, marry Ms. Moneybags, get a hilltop mansion in Sedona, get a senatorship bought for them, and run for President.

All they got was a plastic body bag and a last flight home, if they were lucky.

And they didn''t spend their evenings on their daddy''s aircraft carrier with warm showers and cold beers.

McCain = Punk.
