As a native Vermonter, I can tell you that if you listen to Howard Dean and follow his lead, I have an half an old, leaky covered bridge I can sell you cheap ..

Just think - he was behind the current mess with the Michigan and Florida primaries, and now all those Democrat voters are disenfranchised in choosing a Presidential candidate. . Brilliant.

Dean has his facts wrong or incomplete: Americans do not want to surrender in Iraq! That does not mean that 70% want no troops in Iraq.

Dean and Obama, no matter what they say, have no respect for military opinion, making them dangerous to lead the country.

Does any of this really matter? In a Vunerable economy and the War in Iraq…The only thing that matters is choosing someone for the next four years with EXPERIENCE PERIOD.
MCCAIN is the choice…clear and simple..

America is fed up with the DRAMA of OBAMA and Hillary.
Time to move forward.

Anyone with even an ounce of intellect knows precisely what McCain meant. But, considering the types of people the Democrats are attempting to reach this add may be effective, even though it is utterly stupid.

Regarding troop withdrawal -
Obama says he would “listen” to Gen Petraeus but do what he wants “in the end” anyway, ie: surrender. This from a guy that is running from Ms. Clinton, he won’t debate her face-to-face. What’s he going to do when a really tough decision must be faced, hid under his wife’s skirt or ask Wright for devine intervention??

Ak

Whether you are supporting McCain, Obama or Clinton… I think we can all agree that Howard Dean is not the type of person that should be leading a political party. He’s far too emotional… and willing to say anything and everything (accurate or not) to get his points across!
Perhaps he should focus on solving the Michigan/Florida issue rather that wasting DNC resources on smearing McCain!

We’ve had a military base at Guantanamo, Cuba for more than 100 years against the wishes of the Cuban government. We’ve had troops in Germany and Japan for more than 60 years, and troops in South Korea for more than 50 years. If having troops in Iraq for 100 years is so bad, doesn’t it make sense to withdraw our troops from Cuba, Germany and Japan first ? I’m not advocating doing that. I would just like Senator Obama’s answer to this question.

How can we elect a person who will listen to a man with years of experience,but do the opposite.Isn’t it amazing that there are more registered democrates than republicans and we still have a republican president. Does than not show their lack of judgement.

I think that John McCain has paid his dues to our country by being a Navy pilot, shot down and captured by the North Vietnamese communists. He spent quite a few years as a prisoner of war and was tortured.

His public view on abortion is bad as far as I’m concerened but going into the voting booth I think he’d be a good choice!

This just proves that Obama has no knowledge of our military history.

We are still in South Korea for more than 50 years. We are still in Germany after
all this time. If he can’t figure out what McCain was saying maybe he should
wait until he retakes an American History class.

Obama just wants to hide behind a sound bite so no one can see how little
experience and knowledge he has.

I feel that the war in Iraq is being dragged out while the enemy is hoping the democrats get elected. They have influenced other countries, right? Don’t the Dems know that “united we stand, divided we fall?” I fear not. They are too hungry for power to consider what all
of the people in the U.S. might have to go through if pulling out of Iraq gives the country To Al-Quida. Doesn’t anyone of our “astute politicians” think about or remember 9/11?

Well, here you go McCain. You wanted to wage a “civil” campaign against the Democrats, and they are already running ads that consciencely mischaracterize statements you have made. The Democrats are going to run you through the wall, all the while every other day you will be calling for someone to denounce an ad or repute a statement. Get with the program McCain; fight fire with fire, go for the jugular, and get your hands bloody.

Obama is contradicting his own statement. Will he do the same when he becomes President? Nothing surprises me anymore!!!!!

It is clear what John McCain said and it was not that we remain at war for 100 years. Anyone who is educated on the speech acknowledges that. What Obama is doing is hoping for the votes of the uneducated masses by lying about the statement. This is exactly what an elitist does. They try to speak to they feel are the stupid, uneducated masses who he feels cling to their guns and religion and believes he knows what is best for them.

Anyone reading this that is educated knows this to be true. That being said, we then can surmise Obama is clearly a liar.

To me McCain is telling it “like it is” and Obama is distorting McCain’s words, trying to twist the words into sound bites that are half-truths, or even lies when taken out of context. America is in serious trouble if Obama becomes our Commender-In-Chief!

Let’s see…Obama wants to reunite the country. He thought it was noble of McCain to request pulling of the Reverend Wright ad in NC. He then keeps taking a quote out of context. But then again, he campaign against NAFTA, but contacted Canada and said he didn’t really meant it. He tells an audience in San Francisco that people are bitter about loss jobs so they hang onto their religion and guns. He then said he was sorry if it offended people and then migrated to that is not what I really meant. He is offended by Don Imus stating that he doesn’t want to his girls to hear hatred, but then he takes them to a church that has some obvious hate-filled and racist remarks. It is difficult to reunite DNC, people, and a country when you say one thing, then say another.

obama with his time table… *sigh* democrats just don’t understand the psychology of war…

Just who does Sen Obama think he is? Does he know more about war than Sen McCain or Gen. Patraeus? He has never served one day in the military and now he is an expert on how to defend this country. The gall of that man. All he knows how to do is spout lies and more lies about his beliefs when we all know about his terrorist friends. How sickening can one human being be than that man and all his cronies. All I can say is ‘GOD BLESS AMERICA”.

If John McCain and the Republicans are really believe that Barrack Obama is going to be the easiest candiate to beat in the fall. Then why does McCain keep giving Hillary a free ride ?

We Americans cannot afford Obama’s taxation. He will raise our taxes and we can’t pay our bills the way it is. Obama is out of touch with us. As far as Obama’s capping social security, does he even know how little senior Americans get! What is he thinking!

At least the right two candidates are debating. On to the general!!

Barak Obama can say anything he wants it doesn’t matter because he would be trying to cozy up with Iran in a minuite. That would be far worse than being in Iraq for 100 years. I don’t think McCain even has to worry about the DNC because if Barak Obama represents the party 50 percent of democrats will vote Republican in the fall.

I feel that Senator Obama is counting on average working class American’s ignorance on economic issues. Promising them big freebies while touting a tax on the rich. Which is really not the rich as most people define it. He defines “rich” as anyone earning over 75K a year. This includes most working class two income families. As for Iraq. Lets just go ahead and pull out like cowards and hand it on a platter to Iran. Wow Iran in Iraq……. that should really help oil prices….NOT

I THINK THAT McCAIN HAS THE RIGHT IDEA’S AND I CLEARLY SEE OBAMA IIN THE SAME LIGHT THAT McCAIN DOES. OBAMA WOULD NOT HELP THIS ECONOMY, AND ON THE CONTRARY WOULD CAUSE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MORE HARDSHIPS.
AS FOR McCAIN’S COMMENT ABOUT BEING IN IRAQ 100 YRS, I UNDERSTAND HOW THAT COMMENT WAS MEANT, AND HOW THE LIBERALS HAVE TAKEN IT AND TWISTED IT INTO WHAT IT NEVER MEANT……….IT IS TOO OBVIOUS AND I CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH WHAT THE LIBRALS ARE DOING.
I AM WITHOUT A DOUBT IN McCAIN CORNER…HE IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE RUNNING THAT WILL DO WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS.

Obama had the nerve to tell McCain to shut up about Obama’s positions? McCain is being very very nice to Obama. Obama whines,”foul,” when anyone opens their mouth! How can you discuss things when you shut your oponents up?
McCain is being very nice to Obama and he really shouldn’t be. You have to shut up or Obama yells, “RACE” or “You’re being nasty.” He is such a wimp. Obama doesn’t know what mean and nasty is. Hillary is also handling Obama with kid gloves. Why do they let this wimpy baby get away with crying all the time. The rest of the world is laughing at Obama. They want him to win so they can finally kick our butts.

Obama continues to show his lack of knowledge in anything pertaining to national issue’s with every ah ah ah sentence he stumbles over for reply’s

if it takes a 100 years , do it .

Let’s face it. Concerning Iraq, the Democratic Party and candidates want to get in office and will say what ever to get there. They would be fools to do what they did with Vietnam, ie: cutting off funding and abandoning Iraq. We may be fooled once but we are not a dumb nation of followers. America is about freedom and those who are not about that aren’t acting in our best interests.

We may not like it, but we know we can’t be a free nation and live in isolation to the world. Our only hope for long lived freedom and prosperity for ourselves and our children is to continue to stand for freedom and aid our wonderful human peoples throughout the world to a better life.

John H.

DNC Chairman Howard Dean cited a poll indicating that 70% of Americans do not want troops to stay in Iraq “under any circumstances”. It is difficult to believe that 70% of Americans are unpatriotic and care nothing about the security of our nation. Or perhaps this poll came from a selected militant terrorist group of Obama supporters. Regardless, Howard Dean is trying to instill, by lie and deceit, the “gain power at any cost” attitude into the American voters.

Before you vote for any candidate based undocumented propaganda, please the check integrity, knowledge, experience, qualifications, rancid baggage, etc. of the candidate.

To Mr. DNC Chairman Howard Dean:

The American people would like to see the details of the group polled that indicate that 70% of the Americans do not want troops to stay in Iraq “under any circumstances”.

If it wasn’t so frustrating I would find it humorous that Obama’s key campaign slogan is “change”. His strength is politics. He has not proven himself in any way to have the strength or experience to handle the huge job of being Commander in Chief. The only thing he has proven himself to be good at is to make promises, many of which are ridiculous, and others that are frightening (like announcing a date to the terrorists regimes of the world as to when the US will no longer be a nuisance to them in Iraq.) He is no different from other Democratic politicians. He makes promises, as if as the President of the United States he will have a magic wand to solve the unique problems of each American. The one promise that he will surely keep, however, is the promise to raise taxes on millions of us. Great. Yippee.

Charlene P,

so exactly how many milliions of Americans make over 100k a year that you know of?? these are the people obama proposes to raise taxes. im in iraq right now and and i have accumulated tons of friends both military and civilian. the honorable general petreaus who is doing a fine job ill add, is the only person i know of that makes that kind of money. as for Mr. Hanawalt, obama propose that we put more troops in afghan. and pakistan where terorist tend to relax worry free instead of focusing solely on iraq. i love how u guys pick and choose words spoken from Obama. the man has a common sense plan for this country that of course isnt 100% fullproof jus the same as any plan. no matter how u twist his words and label him a terrorist because of his middle name, the people have spoken and this race is won already.

To chuck,

Regardless of whether or not Dean’s 70% figure was correct, why are you assuming that because the majority of Americans support a withdrawal of troops, they must therefore be unpatriotic? Yes, there have been recent polls by ABCNews stating a 41/56 split on those supporting troop numbers in Iraq and those who favor pullout (or according to you, “care nothing about the security of our nation). Being patriotic means caring about the welfare of your country’s soldiers and citizens. You honestly believe that continuing to put our armed forces in harm’s way, in a country where we have no business to be in is the “patriotic” thing to do?

However, I did enjoy your hinting that the poll respondents were “from a selected militant terrorist group of Obama supporters.” Gave me a good laugh.

Caution to North Carolina voters: The 2 Democrats running for governor have endorsed Barack Obama for president.

Ealy,

Not too many in the military make over 100K a year. As a 14 year veteran of the Marine Corps, I can certainly attest to that. But let me tell ya, living in or around a big city with a family to support and making 100K a year is nothing special at all. I can attest to that as well.

This is why Obama is out of touch and will ultimately not be elected. He wants to claim middle class people are rich, snobby SOB’s and that they owe more money to the government. Somehow he thinks the government does a good job with the money it handles. Now out of touch is that??!!

Personally, I think that Mr. Obama does not have the experience nor the expertise to to be the commander in chief of our country. Mr. McCain on the other hand, even though I disagree with many things he says, has had both military experience and knows the way things work in Washington. As far as being a republican or democrat goes, I don’t really care what they call themselves. Each individual must be judged on their own merits.

If the dems want to win next nov they need to tell howard dead to keep his mouth shut! He make me feel 3% more ignorant everytime I hear him speak.

With the likes of Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy and now Howard Dean running the
democratic party, and putting up a wimp like Senator Obama and HIllary for President what on earth are responsible Americans to do. They have really given us no choice but to vote McCain. Everyone with an ounce of intelligence knows what Senator McCain meant when he mentioned 100 years. Only an idiot like the democrats would try to make something out of nothing. The democrats sure don’t give the American people any credit for having any brains, well I guess they did get elected so whose to blame. We are. Need I say more. Obama will hand our Country to Iran on a silver platter and we will be to blame. Wake up all you people, America needs you to be strong, Stand together and protect America. She belongs to us the people not the Democratic party.

I hope you will post this as I wrote the first comment on this subject but it was never posted. Am I blackballed by a democrat on your staff?????

Listen! I, myself is from Japan. Don’t talk about Japan w/o me, Japanese Citizen.

After the WWII, American navy, army and air force have been staying Japan, (Okinawa, Kure, Sasebo, etc.) and we are more than welcome to have them stay as long as they like. You don’t understand, OBAMA and DEMOCRAT Party, ask us, Japanese.
Japanese people are happy because we are always threatened from North Korea.

We are thankful for America to protect us for a long time. Obama has NO idea what he is talking about. I can here legally under the circumstances and it took almost two years in Japan to process for getting Green Card but it didn’t bother me. It’s very hard to give up my citizen so I probably keep my Green card for a long time. I’m proud of what I am but I just want to say that Obama has no knowledge. That guy never be able to lead the U. S. A. People are fallen into his trick.

PLEASE VOTE FOR MCCAIN!

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THANK YOU ALL THE U.S. MILITARY STAYING JAPAN!!

Didn’t the Dems run in ‘06 on the promise that they’d get the US out of Iraq immediately? Lots of empty promises are flying around again In the late 1930’s 70% of the Americans and Brits didn’t think Hitler was a real problem. They were dead wrong then. Are 70% of the American public wrong again - my source in Iraq says yes.

“Obama said ‘it would be stupid’ not to listen, but in the end, he would keep the goal of withdrawing troops” — Warning to the Military, IS this the POTUS you want?

Can we just start all over on the voting?

As a war vet. I believe our search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq is over. We should leave Iraq. Affectively hunting down terrorists is best left to CIA, FBI and special forces.

Obama is a person of mixed race, raised in Hawaii by his white grandparents. I’ve never seen a picture of or a good reference to his white family, so I have to ask the question.

Where does the child of a single mother, raised by his grandparents, gain the ability to attend ivy league colleges and own million dollar homes while never having a job that produced anything? Especially when all the while attending a church that hates white people and hates America. Add his marriage to a woman that until a moment ago had no reason to be proud to be an American.

Now he want’s to my president?

Really?

At this point I don’t think our miltary goals are just about achieved in Iraq. We willbe reducing our presence there and changing the mission from combat to training and support. I don’t see any need for more than 75,000 tropps by the end of 2009. However, McCain is right in saying that that much reduced presence might be needed for an undetermined period (the shorter the better) even after the mission has been changed. I would tend to believe that the Iraqi force build-up will take approimately half of a generation of a typical officer’s career. In other words after approximately 10 years the Iraqi army will be able to have an effective feed-back loop of training for its own troops and will not need much of anything form us.

Obama should well go to church; John McCain has already been to hell; when Obama grows out of short pants he may get to be preswident; my bet is that I will see him in hell first!

I’d like to think that if McCain had been elected in 2000, we would never have invaded Iraq. We never would have accumunlated this horrible national debt that will cause most of us — except for those “have REALLY mores” — to bear a finanacil burden created by Washington egos and the politics of creating fear. We would not have had our military strecthed to and beyond its limits, making us more vunerable than before 9/11.

But, now McCain is stuck with having to defend the invasion. and keeping us in Iraq.

That means he’s stuck with increasing, not reducing, the national debt.

Ron Paul actually had it right.

It would help if Obama knew what money is (since king Soloman) and took an economic sourse in a recognized university! It appears that Obama was taught his knowledge in de streets by low level union hard liners!

When we entered Irag, the terrorist were not prepared for us. If we leave prematurely and eventually have to return, like we all know that we will, then, the terrorist will be ready and then there’ll be hell to pay! We cannot allow this to happen.

I for one am proud of our president and first lady, GWB is a man of decisiveness and a good Christian. As far as I can see he has always had the good of this country a top priority and has followed through with what he has set out to do, including what has been going on in Iraq, he went in looking for weapons of destruction, and because they where hidden and still are the dems have jumped all over him, he has done much good for that country freeing them from oppression from a horrible dictator allowing the women to walk the streets without fear and hold jobs and get an education and most important freed the country to have a democratic elections and government. Sure we have lost sons and daughters through all this but isn’t that what we have always done when we are trying to protect our country from people that are trying to hurt us. I have a grandson who served in Iraq and is still in the military and ready to go back if called upon and also I have a granddaughter who just enlisted in the army, I am proud to say we still have patriotism in our family, they salute the flag with their hand over their heart , they and our family proudly sing the national anthem, I know lives will still be lost and I am sad and I pray for them daily, but I also believe in the phrase IN GOD WE TRUST. We must never give up on our country, the young people that are putting their lives on the line to keep us safe or our president who is doing the job he set out to do to ensure we are protected and safe. As for this congress I am ashamed of them for their pettiness an inability to get anything accomplished but trash the current administration for everything they don’t like, but with no plans of their own to help make this country the best it can be, they are like a bunch of whining children and their two presidential candidates are the same, shame on them all. Vote for McCain to ensure we keep this country on the track GWB has so gallantly lead us to keep us safe, he has not always been perfect in his decisions, but that is a human frailty we all have. GOD BLESS AMERICA

——————————————————————————–

Just so you know… When they say it’s about getting our troops out of harms way, they obviously don’t know the troops. As a helicopter gunner, I can say that this is exactly what we are trained for. As far as the election…. it’s a no-brainer, Sen. McCain is the wisest choice you can make.

Want to know who this man “Barack Obama” is! Go to this web site http://www.theobamafile.com Then you decide where he is comming from.

70%? who did you poll? was it all left wing dems? not even 25% of the people i talked to said we should pull out of iraq before it is stable. and yes there were dems and ind. in my poll

I am based in the United Kingdom and most of us in the UK are very intrigued by the American election process.
What really gets me is how race and gender decides who you vote for and this happens to be the country that tells the whole world how to have a democratic systems. You have the Jewish vote, the black vote, white middle class vote, the white highly educated vote, womens vote, hispanic vote, liberal vote and christian conservative vote.
Why is America afraid of change and all you are talking about is chosing somebody with great experience. When we choose Tony Blair our former Prime minister, we wanted change. He had no experience but he had a vision for us and we gave him a chance to bring the vision to reality. For the 10 years he ruled he was fantastic. So why don’t you give Obama a change with a new approach to politics or why don’t you consider Hilary Clinton as the first woman president. I am surprised that the greatest democracy in the world has never choosing a woman president. We in the UK did that 29 years ago when we chose Margret Tharcher.

Patriotism should’t be judged as to whether you support the troops in Iraq or not. Patriotism is an understanding of pride for and an understand of what is best for your own country. I don’t think people who scream “USA, USA,USA”, or thouse who are the first to say “We should nuke ‘em” are patriots. Having our brave military running to 2-3-4 countries around the world to fight wars is not patriotism. It’s none of our concern about freedom for the Iraqi people, or the Afganistani people, or the Somalis, or the Darfur region etc. etc. Or even for Israel.
Patritiotism is a concern for the well-being and interests of our own people on our own soil, fixing our economy, helping our own poor and unemployed, and those without health insurance.
Patriotism isn’t grabbing the flag and running off to defent the people of “Outer Mongolia” etc. against tyranny and opression. Patriotism is taking care of our own country.

Mr Obama needs to get a grip on reality. Some people just about have a few dollars after bills and food expenences. Im sure it doesnt matter to him if taxs are raised, but to working familys
its a concern. A vote for Osama is a Vote for defeat

Chuck, name one thing that you’ve done for America and one thing that makes you qualified to make the comments you’ve made, other than the 1st Amendment.

What part of Iran saying they will destroy Israel, and America, and they now have 9000 Centrifuges, doesn’t Obama understand. Leave Iraq, watch the genocide of the IRAQI people and prepare for bombings in America. THAT IS WHAT RUNNING FROM OUR ENEMIES WILL BRING.
Oh yea, he along will Clinton will tax us to death.

I am an independent voter who would never vote for Sen. Obama. His negative baggage gets heavier each day. Rev. Wright is a racist. L. Farrakhan is a racist. William Ayers is a terrorest. Ted Kennedy, remember Mary Jo. Al Sharpton, he’s well known for his views. Sen. Obama, his bitter remark, his lack of experience and his voting record show him to be the fartest left of anyone in the Senate. He has never sponsored any bipartisan legislation. His carefully crafted mirage will be exposed in the general election if he is the nominee.

Any insult from Howard should be compliment. John Mcain is to solid and can throw a hard punch! Obamas glass jaw will shatter like glass,wait and see!! Terrost for Obama.

I think Obama is not what he protrays to be and is certainly not experence to run this country.
We are at war with people that hate everything we stand for and now is not the time to have some rookie that came from no where. People ,we’er in for the long haul and the sooner we accept it the better off we’ll be, we live in a world of hate and the only way we are going to survive is to have a leader with experence. Bottom line I go with experence anytime.

Senator McCain:

Explain to me how raising the social security $$ limit would have a “devastating effect” on the middle class? Raising it “WAY PAST” the current figure would have ZERO effect on the middle class—we don’t make the top limit as it is! Wake up, Senator, or you’ll lose my vote!

AQI didn’t exist until our attack and occupation of Iraq. We’re the terrorists in this case. Post it FoxNews.

Obama is a joke. Read what he says. He doesn’t know what he is saying. He is patently ridiculous.

How typical is this! Typical Democratic smoke screen! I hear the Dems say that the Republicans play dirty and low down. But what I am hearing and seeing is the Dems playing negative and always on the attack.
I was so turned off by Kerry and now I see it is just a Dem thing. I guess if you can keep McCain on the defensive he won’t have a chance to campaign on issues. Not only that people will be distracted from the junk on the Dem side.
Well, we are not so stupid to think that McCain and Bush are joined a the hip or the head. They are totally different. the 100 year comment is taken out of context something republicans are continuously accused of lately. One thing is for sure OBama is clueless. He talkes out of both sides of his mouth. One side Petraeus is great the other I don’t care what you say I’m pulling out. Double talk. Now that is a change!

John Dean, who could not make the lime light when he ran for the Democratic Presidential Nomination last time is a loser, has been and always will be. His only road to notoriety was to become the head ot the DNC (do nothing committee). Get a life!!!!

Obama talks about change, what is he going to change. He has no plan. I will not vote for Him or Hillary unless they state their goals and put America first, as neither seems to want to do.
They both speak out of both sides of the mouth, Left and further Left.

Immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq! It sounds unserious and rediculous and proves the Obama’s inability to police the world. It would be just providing the Al-Quaeda nests of Afghannstan, Pakstan, Somalia, e.t.c a training ground.

Excuse me Adam. Do I reac you correctly?

Oh, now THIS is good…McCain is saying Obama doesn’t know economics???

Didn’t McCain flat-out tell everyone a few weeks back that he doesn’t know much about it, and considers it one of his weaknesses?

How does THAT not scare people? McCain not knowing a thing about the economy could put us in a situation far, FAR worse than anything Obama could ever do.

Think about THAT for a minute.

I don’t know about the general public’s opinion but I am tired of the mud-slinging and the “out of context” excuses and remarks. Mud-slinging is mud-slinging and remarks of hatered have no place in this world. It’s he said this and he said that. What are we two years old?
The United States economy is the most complex economy systems in the world. I do believe that Obama does not clearly understand the economy and that it is more than just one person that controls the economy. It is not just the government, it is households and firms as well.
I also feel that both candiates are not looking at what can happen into the future. They are not thinking of the consequences that could happen if taxes are raised. In order to efficently run and tackle tough issues, both candidated need to inform the general public. I think that some of the candidates rely on the stupidity of some of the American people. This in my opinion is sad and degreating to U.S citizens as a whole. I am asking this from each candidate. Please be truthful and honest with us, you work for us, we do not work foryou.

I think you read the comment correctly. Of course this comment is a complete fallacy and I would love for Adam to back up his comment. Until then I just blow it off as someone who has no clue.

Obama keeps saying he doesn’t want to get into the “Old Washington politics” but yet he runs a smear campaign against McCain. This guy is a joke. Every bit of dirt that comes up, he gives the same disassociation speech. It frightens me that someone so unfit to be President can get this close to a nomination.

All of you McCain fans get a clue. How do you think he is so different from Bush? The Republicans have ruined to country. McCain will funish us off. Bush used scare tactics, every day their was a terror alert what happen, do the terrorist not want to attach us? Were the most powerful country. Their should be jobs, gas prices should be low, McCain supporters get a clue!!!!!!!!

Why is the WHOLE TRUTH never given? McCain voted against Bush’s tax cuts BECAUSE HE THOUGHT HE HAD A BETTER PLAN THAT WENT FURTHER THAN BUSH’S. When Bush’s plan was approved, his own plan was no longer an issue, so he supported Bush’s. What is so hard to understand about that? I am so sick of half-facts. McCain’s “100 yr.” comment is also totally mangled. Anyone that has the brain to think knows what he meant by that. As far as Obama goes, WAKE UP AMERICA! Not only is he totally ignorant, I would truly question his loyalty to the United States. Look at the facts with an open mind. Be HONEST in evaluating Obama, Clinton, and McCain. If you are, and you honestly want what our founding fathers meant for our country to be, you will see that McCain is the best choice. If you want God to be removed from our country, terrorists to gain a foothold in the U.S., communism to flourish in our country, abortion(murder) on demand, vote Clinton or Obama. We will get just what we ask for, and we will answer for our choices.

OK Mr. Obama… You don’t even know the proper terms. The President/Commander-in-Chief sets POLICY. The Combatant Commander (CENTCOM Commander) makes the Strategic Decisions based on that policy. Tactical operatations and decisions are made at the Corps-level and below.

You do not have the experience or knowledge base to be the President.

I am a lifelong Democrat and am not eager to vote for McCain for President, though I have the greatest admiration for the honorable and courageous way he served his country. However, if the Democrats leave me to choose between McCain and Obama in the general election, I will choose McCain for one reason and one reason only. McCain has more substantive experience to run this country. Obama has nothing close to the experience, perspective, insight, or grasp of world issues needed to be President of the United States. If only Obama’s ego hadn’t been greater than his wisdom. He would have most certainly been President someday. Now, if he’s the nominee, he runs the very high risk of effectively ending his political career at age 46 in a significant loss to McCain this November. Thanks for nothing Obama and DNC!

Eric-
Please let me know how the republicans have ruined our future. What evidence do you have to back this fallacy up? You made a statement with no truth or facts, this is not a time to demean or degrade. This is a time to look at both sides with an open mind and decide for you what are complete fallacies and what is not. You alone know what is best for you.
