Yeah, RetiredAt35, besides Palin would be the 1st female VP, and ladies should always go first! :biggrin
McCain would also be the first President elected over the age of 70; so you get two history-makers for the price of one on the republican ticket!.. lol
Hoosier sounds like he is watching too much driveby media programs. Pretty much all he does, is says what the media says, and what Obamas campaign says:
“McCain will be another 4 yrs of Bush”
“McCain wants more troops killed”
“McCain wants to spend the US into space”
And WAIT A MINUTE…
did I just read, “if Obama wasnt black I would vote for McCain”??? What is this crap? What an idiot…you need to get out of America. Now.
#1 Mccain will be another Bush term… do you look at his policies. If anything hes more Socialist than Bush.
#2. I dont believe I ever said anything about the war.
#3. Never said anything about space either.
#4. That wasnt me that said that. But guess what… people can vote for or not vote for somebody for any reason they want. Who are you to tell somebody they cant vote for somebody because there black? Im not a person that would not vote for Obama because hes black, however… Obamas black bias’ attitude toward minorities over white people is pretty absurd, so why cant I be racist like Obama?
For those who arent sure what Im talking about… Look for “Obamas Typical White Woman” Quote on Youtube.
I may as well make my first post a good one…LOL
For me, it’s like this: Obama is an empty suit. He’s good at memorizing talking points and reading teleprompters. His manner of speaking reminds me of a thrift store version of Jesse Jackson. He’s arrogant, effete and just seems to be way too in love with himself. He’s supported bills to murder infants (abortion survivors). He wants to raise taxes on people making as little as $42K per year. He wants to nearly double the capital gains tax rate. He intends to meet and play slap-ass with terrorists and thug dictators (read “our enemies”). He has chosen a complete moron as a running mate and the only reason he’s made it this far is because the media covers up all his undesirable details and carries his water in a very big way. There is more (much more), but what’s the point of enumerating every reason not to vote for this poser?
Bottom line - Obama is dangerous for this country. The damage he could do to our economy, national security and freedoms in the next four years literally frightens me.
McCain isn’t a conservative, not by a long shot, but he’s nowhere near as radically liberal as Obama. So once again, we’re going for the lesser of two evils.
And as far as McCain or Bush being socialist…are you serious? Obama wants the government to be the one-stop source of everything in our lives, from health care to home mortgages. That is the very soul of socialism! If you think McCain is socialist, why would you vote for Obama, whose policies are MUCH MORE socialist?
Im not voting for Obama… Yes I know Obama is very Socialist.
I apologize for not being more clear. My belief is that any non-McCain vote is effectively a vote for Obama. I understand that some people want to vote for Bob Barr or even Ron Paul, on principle. However, neither of these men stands a chance of winning the election, so a vote for either of them is a wasted vote, one less for McCain and one vote closer to Comrade Obama getting the keys to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and control over the armed forces, foreign policy and more for the next four years.
McCain isn’t my guy. Fred Thompson was my guy. I could write Fred’s name on my ballot, but I won’t, because I value the safety and stability of the country over the principle of voting for a the candidate I think is best suited to the job.
Besides, Sarah Palin is, IMHO, very conservative, and a term as VP will groom her nicely for a Presidential run in 2012.
It’s unfair Donald Duck was on the list, Mickey Mouse was not! LOL
Seriously, it’s Obama!
Maryburton, you’re right!.. Obama IS Micky Mouse… lol… just look at his policies, add to that they are both half-white and half-black, but mostly the ears are a dead give-away! :shocked
Very insightful… :biggrin
I don’t see him wearing red pants 
That would look ugly, the ears are fine, ever met Jumbo? or was it Dumbo?
Hold it guys, I think both of these candidates deserve some respect. There’s no need to mock them.
I think both of these candidates deserve some respect.
I disagree. Respect is EARNED, not bestowed. While I have complete respect for John McCain’s military record (EARNED), I totally disrepect both Obama and McCain when it comes to politics. Obama is an overt socialist and McCain is a socialist - lite. YUK! Nothing to respect there.
Mike
Icky icky socialism. ICKY! YUK!
Mike, you got respect for Palin?
She stopped that bridge from uhhh… nowhere being built? Or something like that?? lolz…
Mike, you got respect for Palin?She stopped that bridge from uhhh… nowhere being built? Or something like that?? lolz…
She’s at least SAYING most of the right things. So, yes, so far I have respect for her.
Mike
I think I remember my mother telling me that… oh well so much for politics, it’s like talking about religion 
That’s funny…and here I thought a precondition to actually saying something was the ability to put together a complete sentence. :monalisa
You mean like… Uh, Uhm, pause, Uh, no, wait for it… Uhhhhh Obama? :biggrin
Here’s a thought…
Let’s move this more toward WHY you are voting for Obama… For those of you who are voiting for hom, what qualifies Obama to be POTUS? Convince me, why should I give him any uh, uhmmm, pause… uhm, further consideration?
I’ll give you a good reason to vote for Obama (sorry, in my original post I put McCain here). He’s a socialist and will oversee a huge amount of additional spending. That spending will speed up our collision course with bankruptcy and catastrophe as a nation. The sooner we hit that brick wall, the sooner we can get headed back to being a great country. Additionally, the longer it takes to reach that wall, the harder we will hit it. Moreover, if the country is going to collapse, I’d just as soon have a socialist at the helm.
Those are all good reasons to vote for Obama.
What are the good reasons to vote for McCain?
Palin - that’s all I got. McCain is a socialist-lite and I don’t think he will be good for the country.
Mike
Hmm…you forgot to mention that Obama is also a socialist, but around 10 times as severe as McCain on his worst day. Here are a few good things about McCain, and a few corresponding bad things about Obama. -
McCain is a genuine war hero. His service to this country alone makes him a damned fine person in my book.
McCain is strong on national security, [li]Obama wants to sit down for tea and crumpets with our enemies.[/li]
McCain is real. He doesn’t hide a checkered past or blatantly lie about his public service record.[li]Obama is an unknown quantity - simply because any attempt to uncover any information about the man is slapped down and deemed racist.[/li]
McCain has served honorably in the US Senate for over 2 decades.[li]Obama has served 143 days in the Senate, accomplished nothing of consequence and is already involved in one major scandal and another local scandal in Chicago (Tony Rezko).[/li]
McCain understands that you don’t grow an economy by raising taxes on those who already pay the lion’s share.[li]Obama/Biden think paying more taxes is patriotic.[/li]
McCain chose an undiluted conservate, Sarah Palin, as his running mate. This move managed to energize the conservative base for McCain.[li]Obama chose as his running mate Joe Biden, quite possibly the biggest joke in the Senate – a man who can’t seem to open his mouth without something monumentally stupid flying out.[/li]
These are just a few reasons to vote for McCain. Now, can we see some reasons to vote for Comrade Obama?
Sorry, I meant to say Obama! I’ll go back and edit my previous post.
Mike
