Comments on: Obama, McCain Spar on Iraq, Economy as DNC Takes Aim at McCain http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/04/27/dnc-ratchets-up-attacks-on-mccain/ America's Election HQ Fri, 18 Jul 2008 21:46:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Gary http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/04/27/dnc-ratchets-up-attacks-on-mccain/#comment-333480 Gary Thu, 01 May 2008 15:58:04 +0000 http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/04/27/dnc-ratchets-up-attacks-on-mccain/#comment-333480 Cindy Gia hit the nail on the head. Every four years, Democrats shamefully exploit the eldery by trying to scare them into believing their Social Security payments will stop in January if a Republican is elected in November. As someone once sang, "It took a while, but I'm finally over you." Time for Americans to get over this crude tactic. Cindy Gia hit the nail on the head.

My problem is, they will listen to the people even though the people do not get the intell,or see first hand how the situation really is in Iraq, But they will not listen to the top general in Iraq, who has had years of experiance and training, who does have the intell, and has seen it first hand.

Neither Clinton nor Obama have the true leadership experience required to make tough decisions with the lives of our service members. I would even go so far as to suggest that they "put their money where their mouths are" and spend 30 full days in the red zone in Iraq embedded with troops. The only problem would be that some field unit would have the displeasure of babysitting them. You can test the true mettle of a man/woman by their perfomance under fire. I think John McCain acted quite admirably during his trials. He will be an excellent president.

Politically correct terminology does not really matter much. For all of you narrow minded, programmed fools who know nothing except what you are told and what you think you know, you probably know less than nothing. Senator Obamas scholastic record is much better than President Bushs,,,,Senator Obama has the educational savy,,,,,leadership qualities....and moral backbone to stand up to the establishment. That in itself says more than all of you Washington aristocrats and bureaucrats know about or seemingly have conveniently forgotten. Theres only one thing for sure: if John McCain or Hilary Clinton is elected President we will be in more trouble around the world and economically than you could ever imagine. Look at the big picture and that way if the unthinkable happens, i.e., Senator Obams is not elected President, then you will know you certainly slammed the door on your on prosperity and country.

Furthermore, Democratic tax and spend policy will ruin America. Democratic socialist policies dimply cannot work. Americans are already on the brink of poverty because of the escalation of fuel prices. The economy is in trouble primarily because fuel prices are driving the transportation industry into bankruptcy. Higher travel fares are resulting massive cutbacks in business travel, not to mention summer travel which generates revenue in so many places. We are being told by experts that gas prices will increase, not decline - possibly forever. Who in their right mind wants a tax and spend liberal radical in the White House. Obama doesn't have the spine to stand up for American interests. My belief: Drop him like a hot rock. McCain should mop the floor with him in November. - B Here we go again.

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!
