McCain has the charisma of a tree stump.

i feel sorry for mccain, bush pretty much ruinrd for him. and then choosing palin. that woman really needs to shut up. bad move for mccain i will vote for obama

Palin embarassing???? Why??? I'm very much a woman and I certainly do not find her embarassing. Some people just look for bad things in strange places. If you don't llike her thats one thing, but just say it. You are going to be crying if Obama gets in and your pocket book is empty. He has too many relationships with too many people of questionable backgrounds, If Obama gets in we will no doubt have a socialist government. too bad..

Sen. McCain should drop the "my friends" line. It's annoying and patronizing. As a woman, I find Palin embarassing. YIKES!!!

Since there were several comments regarding John McCain and socialism I thought I would provide a link that casts some clear concern regarding Barak Obama's socialist connections in Illinois. http://www.freere public.com/focus/f-news...
It may be increasingly more difficult to find this information as the article mentions that much of the information has been scrubbed. This one is interesting too: http://www.patterico.com/2008/10/08/ bara... You can debate the sources all you wish but the graphic speaks for itself.

No not Mc Cain in the White House...Obama in the White House with all his companions..Ayes, Wright,Etc. Obama is the only person I know who can sit in church for 20 years and never hear a thing!! And then expect you to believe it!! Only denounces him when he knows the American people are not going for it !! and of course he didn't have any thing to do with Acorn eitherl...Rather a doddering old fool than an inexperenced lier!!All Obamas is experienced
in is lieing to this audiance. His past will catch up with him and I hope it isn't in the White House.

You all voted for Bush not once but two times!!! Now, anyone that votes for Mcain is barking up the same tree.Whats wrong with you people. Didnt you see Mcain during the debate ?? Rambling and rambling on like a doddering old fool!! Is that who you want as you,re commander in chief?

When some one says "Sung like a stool pigeon" you know that person has never knew what true war was all about. Pretty SICK talk about a true american hero who fought so you would have "free peach"to "down grade him and all of the other true heros. I think also that you think salaries go up in time,, but gas, mortages and everything else stays the same. Also your man of the hour Clinton had our #1 enemy in his sites, not once, but 3 times and allowed him to walk free. Perhaphs if he had taken action then we wouldn,t be in a war now. Look a little at your history and use a little good sense. It is easy to call names, but it would be interesting to see what you would have done in the same situtation. Only name callers are true cowards!!!! I don't think most people reading your remarks would take the time out of their day to answer as you are a proven fool.

I see that some people posting on here have no common sence, so first of all lets talk about mortgages. Lets see one of the contributing facts to forclosure increase........gas. When Clinton left the white house, gas was $1.89/gal. The average homeowner's mortgage is between $750-$1,200.00/mo. The average family when Clinton was in the white house spent $200.00-400.00 a month on gas. They could afford a mortgage which is why Clinton had those banks ok and secure loans. Now, with gas being $4.00-$5.00 a flippin gallon,people are having to make choices.....pay for gas and not buy groceries and not pay for your house, or pay for your house and not be able to have gas to get to work. A once stable home is now shken with financial grief. Also, one more thing. I am not too keen on McCain's "military stratagies" when he himself sung like a stool pigeon when he was cought and put in a POW camp. sorry, just think thats cowardly. PS people......every politician lies.

I am leaning towards McCain, I trust his military strategy as well as his foreign policy. Obama is a lot of talk and really isn't saying anything new. He is saying the same things that Dem. preach every four years. Obama is an ear tickler says what people want to hear and we being stupid fall for it, we Americans need to wise up and stop letting politicians, tickle our ears and demand the things we want and need. We know what needs to be done we common Americans live the hardships day in and day out.

McCain has the experience to run a country and I trust that he will get us out of this hard economic times that we find ourselves in these days.

If McCain would take a minute to focus on the topics and just tell the people what he plans to do instead of bashing Obama, maybe Obama wouldn't have had to take up so much of his time defending himself. Obama spent so much time trying to clean up McCain's mouth vommit, that he really didn't get to focus on the issues like he wanted to. He had to address what McCain was saying about him to let people know that it wasn't all true. McCain needs to stop with the bashing and get to the issues.

Myself, I am for Mc Cain, he doesn't have the ability to give a speech like obama, but he is not promising a lot ot things he can't delivery. Obama being a Dem. and Pelosi & her (Dem.) 10% credibility for her and the congress it will be scheer "Hell" for all of the americans if Obama makes it....watch your taxes go up & try to figure out where he is going to get all the monier for the programs he says he's going to start. The big bunch of analysis for finances this morning said there is NO WAY these can be acomplished, and these were both Dem. and Rep. speaking out in this group !! Oh well, It's like he's saying "come into my parlar....said the spider to the fly" Don't be fooled by alll the sweet talk!!

I for one wish they had a "NONE OF THE ABOVE" Ballot. Everyone is saying that the ones that don't like Obama is racist. I think that Obama and his wife are racist against White Americans. I hate to see what will happen to this country if he gets elected. I have yet to see a presidential candidate that is truly out there for the people, and to make things better for the people. To me they are all full of **** and they all say what they think we want to hear, but once elected, they fulfill none of those promises. To me, if elected and you don't do what you said, you should be impeached and imprisoned for false advertisement! When elected, the "president" only does what his wealthy friends pay him to do. I can NOT believe that the bill passed to bail out the mortgage companies. To me, it is just another way to **** on the little guys. If they really wanted to do some good with all that money, they should have given back to the people, maybe if the **** prices on fuel, food, and on everything else wouldn't have sky rocketed, the American people would have been able to pay their **** bills. To me, prices just keep going up, and up, and the American people are drowning in it. Our governement only cares about the already wealthy people, screw the middle and lower classes. Screw that people that made them wealthy in the first place. Me and my husband both work full time and still have to struggle from paycheck to paycheck, and we pray that no emergencies happen, such as cars breaking down. We can't even afford health insurance or to go to the doctor. I am still waiting for a president that actually cares.

AFTER WHAT MCCAIN SAID LAST NIGHT PUT THE NAIL IN THE COFFIN FOR ME. HE WANTS TO BAIL OUT THE PEOPLE WHO CANNOT PAY THEIR MORTGAGES???? SCREW THAT. THATS SOCIALISM RIGHT THERE AT ITS FINEST PEOPLE. I REALLY HOPE YOU ALL MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION AND VOTE FOR CHANGE AND GET THE DEMOCRATS IN THE WHITE HOUSE TO FIX THIS MESS THAT BUSH HAS PUT US IN. VOTE OBAMA AND DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR

Reading all of these comments just makes me so sad about the state of our nation. I like a good fight. I think it's great to have a two, three, or six party system. It brings about conflicting ideas and when done with sincerity and in keeping with the best interests of the nation it works better than any other system of government out there.
As I read down I see strong convictions based on little more than "he seemed old looking" and "he seemed stately and energetic". Shallow speak and smoke and mirrors, that's all it is. If you go to a magic show it seems the lady was really cut in half....
Try to define a candidate's character and when you do and that character becomes questionable - the endeavor then becomes character assassination and the other side moves further in the other direction ears boxed screaming "la, la, la, la" all the way. Those of you content to bury your head in the sand are potentially creating grave consequences for ALL of us.
I want to know why it is wrong to want to understand the character of a man who is going to control one of the biggest and most influential social, economic, and military forces in the world? Why shouldn't character matter? Why doesn't it matter that our enemies (many muslims referred to below) actually want Obama in office? Why doesn't it matter that he associates with one questionable personality after another? Why do most of you NOT care that Barak Obama started his public political journey in the home of a domestic terrorist? Why don't you care how he paid for his fancy Ivy League education when after all, he's just one of us? Why not question the Pakistani ties? Why doesn't it bother anyone that Obama claims himself that his time spent at Occidental was a waste and he didn't apply himself yet he goes away for a few months (to the Middle East with his wealthy Pakistani friends) and after apparently landing on Free Parking manages to swing acceptance and financing to Columbia? If he didn't work hard at Occidental, which he himself says he didn't, how did he mangage a promotion to an Ivy League school? Why doesn't it matter that he chose to move across the country and live with a self-admitted cocaine addict who wasn't even attending college on the east coast with him? Would you expect that from your children? Would you just turn your head and think everything was OK? So why does Barak Obama get a pass on everything? Why?
Yes, I am pointing fingers here and I think that is what we should all be doing. Why not demand the answers to these questions and the many more not mentioned. Get the answers and then put this behind us then maybe we could all feel more comfortable with Obama at the wheel. Because most voters apparently either don't care or are afraid of the truth and that is scary.
