it is sad. I loved McCain, I remember the real maverik and this person is not him. That McCain fought for vets. Believed in Equal Rights for women. Hated torture of any kind. Loved the bright light that stood for America and human rights. Suffered when Jack, Martin and Bobby were murdered. How could he become this man. I don’t know Palin. But I have followed MaCain’s career. This man Candidate McCain is not worthy to pretend to the throne.

I am so sad.

Call me racist if you like but I will not vote for Obama .
I am a life long Democrat and will no longer support nor donate to a Party that has lost it’s course.

Pelosi must be the worst speaker of the house and Reid is not doing any better , they have been in charge of a do- nothing congress and the approval rating shows it , lower than Bush’s , can you believe it.
Add to that a weak man like Obama and this country will head for disaster .
America has lost it’s moral compass , nowhere in the free world are large , one can call it obscene if you like , amounts of money spent to elect a new leader through a Democratic process.
No wonder , we see the first signs of corruption and fraud to get peoples votes and there will be more discovered , hopefully before it is too late.
McCain has a complete list of donors listed on his website , Obama refuses to do so . Why…?
McCain without a doubt , is the better and safer choice.

First Obama and his campaign successfully played the race card against the Clintons , then Rev. Wright emerges on to the scene , Obama insists that he is his good friend and mentor.
However , then we see the video clips that show us the vile and vulgar sermons that were spewed from the pulpit and Obama sat in those pews for over 20 years.
Only when it started to hurt him politicially , he decided to throw them under the bus and resorted once again to the race card.

It is absolutely dispicable and sadly people fall for it.

Obama’s unsavoury associates alone , should have disqualified him from running for higher office.

Blind loyalty to an ideology proven to fail, as we have seen in the last two months, is as bad as blind racism. If the republicans were not counting on a racist backlash to Obama’s campaign they would have released statements condemning the outbursts reported above, at the very least. Instead, they step up their airing of a negative ad that relies on ignorant, knee jerk “patriotism” for its fallacious “guilt by association” argument to work. I seriously considered voting for McCain at the beginning of the summer but the latest turn of his campaign and Obama’s considered restraint have changed my mind.

People continue to be so ignorant. If anyone thinks we are going to be more “socialist” b/c Obama becomes president, they are completely blind to the facts that already stand. We have been moving toward socialism for ages.. just look at our welfare systems, parks, pools, community centers.. isn’t all of that for the greater good, the utopia of it all? The true backbone of socialism is EQUALITY. Apparently, some folks in this country feel they are more privileged or have somehow earned more rights than others. Study your facts before you open your mouth. Search your heart before you unleash hate.

Amen, Rick. I listen and read all the comments being made and cannot believe that our civilization has slid down as far as it has. I have never considered myself a racist, but I guess I am. Obama is too questionable and I can’t afford for him to get on-the-job training while our way of life is up in the air. Everyone talks about change, but what are we going to change? Change, so that we are more socialist? No thank you.

I guess if it comes down to being a racist for voting for the one you think is better for the job, in this case someone who has what it takes to be President, I will be a racist then!
Nobama is a empty suit with a big mouth that will destroy our country. He is the one that taught acorn how to steal votes! I would rather vote for Jesse Jackson, at least we know who he is!
