I'll be voting for McCain. I think this country needs more than ever a strong leader. McCain is a proven leader. Obama hasn't lead anything including the Pledge of Allegiance. We need someone who is not afraid to step on toes. McCain will step on toes and your head and he doesn't care what party affiliation you are. McCain is for change. He is for using our own resources for energy, develop new nuclear energy, offshore drilling, ANWR, and also using technologies that will yield far better fuel mileage vehicles than we have today. Obama doesn't have an energy plan and frankly, he doesn't have a plan about anything. Obama is an eloquent speaker, no doubt, but he has yet to say anything of substance.
I don't need a blow job from the President of the US. I need a person that I can be confident that when things turn bad he'll make the right decision....and present doesn't count. I need a President that the world will respect. McCain is known worldwide for doing exactly as he says. If he says that the US will not tolerate something, other countries are going to listen. Obama apparently can't make a decision about anything and there will be no respect from other nations. I need a President that will give me the environment to make my own way and my own money. Obama is for bigger Government and I don't need the Government to rescue me and I'm not waiting for it either. I also need an experienced President. I don't need a glitzy kinda guy that hasn't a clue about leading this nation. This is the most powerful nation on this planet and I certainly don't need a novice for President.

After 8 years of being bent over, bending over willingly for another 8 is better than the opportunity to change and be blown

I can tell you what I think about when I hear Community Organizer... Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson! They may not be typical of the position, but they are both shake down artists.
Like someone said the other day... how many community organizers do you know? If you wanted to be a CO where would you apply and what are the education requirements?
Don't claim it was great experience that prepared you for the Presidency and then not explain how it did.

I guess that they should be more proactive when they compare their policies to the present administration's. If they know the "McSame" mantra is sinking in, just seems like the McCain camp would be more vocal against Bush. Then on the other hand, not having Bush/Cheney at the convention, may work for/against them? Huh? - Og

Good point, Jim. Looking forward to the debates from each. Also, looking forward to Hillary's POV. Heard hints that she's planning a monster, too. - Og

Tearing a party apart doesnt get you many votes. There are plenty of Dems voting republican because of Hilary and Obama.
By being a republican that agrees with some of the current polices from both partys, he also pulls votes from both partys. Republicans will most likely vote McCain before Obama, but McCain having common policies with the Dems will get him Dem votes too.

Mid-October, the Homeland Security Advisory System will be elevated from Amber to Orange due to..
"...highly placed sources of intelligence have disclosed a threat to our country from evil doers. Due to ongoing efforts that is all the information we can release at this time."

Sixth actually, but I went ahead a grade so technically you're right. Figured I should overstate the obvious for you.
Point was Obama has some Communist like ideas and most definitely has Socialist views. If you can't see that you need to take a harder look at your candidate.
Too many people are wanting a drastic change so bad they are willing to turn a blind eye to get something different. Be careful you Obama folks may actually get what you're hoping for.

Bush/Cheney were not invited. They have no voice in the election. They have but one task to perform.

If you believe that, you have to know that there are plenty of Republicans feeling iffy about McCain. Democrats for McCain? Maybe. But wait until Hillary and Bill have another say. Clinton/Democratic surplus = Bush/Republican deficit? Don't think so. We'll see. - Og
