I just can’t see how anyone who is proud to be American can support some one who has socialist policies. I also don’t understand how any one who claims to be a Christian can support anyone who thinks abortion is ok. The Bible talks against homosexuality but one of our candidates sees nothing wrong with gay marriage. Marriage is between one man and one woman. If people support Obama, they support his policies. When you go to the poles tomorrow, use the sense that God gave you and make the right choice, vote for John McCain.

McCain made a big mistake by selecting Sarah Palin as his running mate. Her lack of experience and understanding of the issues clearly showed up in the V.P debate. She was reading the handlers rather than listening to what her opponent was saying. McCain made a very, very big mistake. In my opinion, she is not at all eligible for the V.P position. I saw Mischelle Obama talking and communicating better than Sarah Palin on the Larry King Live. I see Obama and his wife studied in Harvard University. It is nice to see that very well educated people are coming to politics, and definitely they understand the people issues.

Obama is a brilliant and intelligent person, the combination of Obama and Biden will be a perfect fit to the white house in this current situation. Both are well educated and had a good understanding of the American people’s issues.

I agree that Obama is an amazing speaker and sells himself well. But, lets not forget that that is a politician’s job. His past and the words he speaks don’t add up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5z9lD4C2Io

I agree with you, Obama to me doesn’t need to attack John McCain because he is winning the over popluar vote. What we have to do as voters and taxpayer is just do the right thing. We have to really focus on the task at hand…McCain is the biggest liar in the house. Sarah isn’t helping. Now the Mccain camp is really going negative.

Oh and Ruth, just because he is from Az. doesn’t mean he is a red neck!

Maybe some of you can help me. Obama sure does know how to talk. He continually pounds McCains ideas, but never seems to say what he plans to do or should I say HOW he plans on making these changes. He boust what he will not let happen, but never says how, this is driving me crazy! He says he’ll stop tax cuts on companies sending thier factories over seas, wont this cause more companies to do the same? I’m sure if you ask an auto worker what was better, not working or thier CEOs making a huge salary I’m sure they’d rather go back to work! How about a tax break for buying American!!!!

I loved Obamas Speech too. But I really want to adress how negative John Mcain has gotten in the last 2 weeks. I went from liking Mcain as a person that i just disagreed with to be extremely pissed off at him. These accusations that he has made are hurtful lies and low blows. I commend Senator Barack Obama for having class and showing that he is truly the bigger man. It shows me alot that he doesnt need to go out and try to dirty up John Mcain. The moral of this country is already down and all Mcain is doing is adding fuel to the fire with all of his negative actions. Barack Obama is a breathe of fresh air and someone that I believe needs to lead this country.

Someone asked about Obama’s relationship with a terrorist organization. To be fair, on the face of it, that comment is inflammatory. What is fair is to raise questions about Obama’s relationship with Bill Ayers, an unrepentant bomber of the Pentagon during the Vietnam War. Bill Ayers was a member of the terrorist organization “Weather Underground” and he would have been charged if it were not for improper surveillance. I am amazed that Obama’s relationship with Bill Ayers is not getting more scrutiny. They served on the same boards, campaign assistance, shared the same podium during speaking engagements. So to clarify this, Obama is associated with a known terrorist. Is Obama using the same judgment with Bill Ayers as he did with Jeremiah Wright.

One of the biggest problems in our country is lack of responsibility. Obama wants to talk about giving everything to everyone for free, which excites part of the population. He says the funds will be available for this as he goes line by line and eliminates wasteful spending. Does America really believe this? The more the government gives us, the less likely they will stay out of our homes. BTW, have you heard that Obama vetoed a bill in Illinois AND the US Senate that said if a baby is being aborted, but is born alive, they will be required to receive the same care given to a baby born alive on purpose? He wants them neglected until they die! How can I man with this kind of conscience (NONE!) be trusted to make ANY decision for our country?? Maybe he’ll save Social Security by killing off anyone over age 70! Obama supporters are blind. Let’s just hope more of us will vote intelligently. I still have questions about the McCain/Palin ticket, but I they have enough of a conscience that they won’t legislate the suffering and killing of our most innocent citizens! Go ahead and vote for Obama - the blood will be on your hands!

I am shocked that McCain appears to think that any woman smart enough to support Hillary Clinton would give up everything she believes in to vote for a redneck right wing extremist just because she is a woman! How dumb does he think we are?

Oh yea, I suppose you believe that global warming is false as well, and polar bears are in no danger too, so lets “drill baby drill” and kill off more species so that the humans are comfortable! Maybe it was all the Obama bashing at the RNC that caused a break off of a 19 mile long ice shelf in Canada.

S. Marie I am so sorry you still think Obama is a terrorist. I am so sorry you cannot get past his name. I am so sorry you think only a Republican can keep us safe when one was in office when 9/11 happen. I am so sorry that you probably still think the war in Iraq was about terrorists, oh wait wasn’t Saddam had WMDs, oh wait thats right it ended up being he was just a bad man. The Republicans have done nothing more than make the chances of a terrorist attack happening larger than it was in 2002. The Republicans have been in office while our economy is crashing. Republicans have been in office while gas and food prices soar. I am so sorry you cannot see that someones name or heritage does not matter, it is what their vision and judgement that matters. A white male with the name George Walker Bush has screwed us all over, so I am more than ready for a african american male named Barack Hussein Obama to try to fix it!

Hi S.Marie - what organization are you talking about that Obama was chairman of?

I respect Obama and all, but seriously. I don’t care what he says. I care about what canidates do. Actions speak louder than words! He was chairman of a terrorist organization- an action. We are in the middle of a war with terrorists, correct? So why would you vote for someone that is part of them??! It doesn’t make sense.

Obama’s speech brought a ray of hope and optimism. I felt the winds of reform, integrity, and prosperity, and freedom is once again helping clear the air of the stench of past miserable eight years of Bush / Cheney failed policies. We can say for the first time in a long while that there is light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a train coming. On the other hand McCain,much like his cunning cronies, is an extinct dinosaur. He is nothing but a peddler for the good-old-boys of Oil and war industries. His obsolete rhetoric and rally around the flag boys phony nationalism is just a smoke screen. McCain is more of the same Bush-Sh*t that dragged this country down to its lowest level morally and weakest state financially. The archaic “Big Stick Policy “ and doomed McCarthyism Red-Scare tactics are deployed by McCain - Bush/Chaney, types to cover up their plunder of the wealth of this nation and other colonized nations. Unless you are a fat cat in the corporate world, you would not benefit from this false promise of “Trickle-down economy”. World witnessed as Bush/ Cheney regime provided for corporate book-fixing, Sub-prime loan scam, Wall street bail-out, war under false pretext. Meantime the news of whore mongering, pedophile, and sexually deviant closet-case gay Republicans gave a new meaning to the so called “right-wing conservatives”. Remember the Bathroom stall gay sex case of Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho. He was apprehended by a plainclothes police officer investigating complaints of lewd behavior and soliciting sex in an airport men’s bathroom stall. Another case is, Mark Foley (Republican member of the United States House of Representatives ) was caught sending sexually laced, grammatically challenged instant messages and e-mails to teenaged boys in the Congressional page program for more than 10 years. This hypocrite was ironically the Chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children. A wolf in the Hen-house. One of the foremost opponents of child pornography in the Senate was quoted as saying to a teenage boy “get a ruler and measure it for me”. Another Republican gem is, The Florida Chairman of John McCain’s Presidential Campaign (Member of House of Representatives) Bob Allen. He was caught offering an undercover cop $20 to allow him to blow him in a men’s room in a public park. After being arrested, Allen tried to explain that he only offered to blow the cop because the cop was a “burly black man” and he “didn’t want to become a statistic.” . Ridiculously enough Bob Allen was one of 21 Florida legislators to sign Gov. Jeb Bush’s friend-of-the-court brief supporting the state’s ban on gays adopting children, and he co-sponsored an unsuccessful bill that would have enhanced penalties for “offenses involving unnatural and lascivious acts” such as indecent exposure. The list goes on and on with other Republicans such as Glenn Murphy who got a fellow Young Republican drunk and then spent the night at his house. The other young man woke up in the middle of the night to find Murphy giving him mouth-to-penis resuscitation. After this incident, a 1998 sexual battery report came to light in which Murphy was alleged to have done the exact same thing. Murphy was a well-paid political consultant for Republican candidates and often advised them to use gay marriage as a wedge issue to paint their opponents as out of touch with traditional values. It is time for this nation to wake up and realize the deception, corruption, and exploitation it endured as the result of eight years of Bush/Cheney’s dishonest corporate take-over.

What does killing wolves have to do with being green? The wolves are killing the Caribou!!!! Get your facts straigtht. Wait, Caribou aren’t these the same animals so called GREEN people always fight to save when the discussion of drilling in AK comes up. Remember only one sitting Senator out of the last 20 presidents has been elected President. JFK. Reason? They have NO experience running government. Oh I forgot Obama ran a community center in Illinois that should help.

McCain Palin is energy dream ticket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.cleantechblog.com/2008/08/mccain-palin-is-energy-cleantech-dream.html

I loved the speech but we need to regroup. With the announcement of Sarah Palin as the McCain running mate there is work to be done. I have already seen mistruths and extreme exaggerations about her record on the web. We must make sure Hillary supporters (and I was one) are not snowed into voting the Republican ticket just because Palin is on it. She is ultra conservative - which is what the McCain camp wanted to bring on broad their right wing base and since she’s a woman I’m sure they think that will bring on board Hillary’s base. Please we CANNOT let this happen. Although there are now many items/pages on the web stating she is “green” she couldn’t be further from that. She is an enemy of the environment - overriding voters cry to stop air shooting of wolves, for instance…of course it seems you can now find nothing accurate on the web about her poor environmental record. Sarah Palin is not the woman we want in the White House. Please get the word out - don’t be fooled - don’t be suckered by this ploy.
