John McCain

Legally President Bush can't run for a third time, but if you want to continue his disasters, then you vote for John McCain.

He wants to continue the war in Iraq. He admits he doesn't know anything about economics so sees nothing wrong with the largest-ever national debt. His health-care program calls for the poor to have to prove failure and poverty.

As a strong supporter of the National Rifle Association he is against the ban on assault weapons. His knowledge of international affairs is very limited.

John McCain is a great, respected American to be admired but he should not be elected president.

    Wow,
    Are the holes in that white sheet possibly over your head cut big enough to read this?
    Do you need to move that confederate flag out of your truck window for better wi-fi reception, 'cause you just might need to.

    Lets look at the presidential options:

    H.Clinton - She may very well be the best viable option (not my opnion) with her decisions and standings, BUT she is well, a female, ( I AM NOT A WOMAN BASHER ) With almost all countires in the middle east and some other regions being heavily ran by Islamic leadership, as a woman she will not get the respect deserved, and we as a country, will share the negativity of that.

    J.McCain - Now a good majority of States/Counties/Cities will not hire you in the police force (amoungst other positions) if you are suffering from PTSD. Look at J.McCain's background from Vietnam. Heck, I didn't even go through one iota of his experiances and PTSD from OIF has seriously altered my life, now do you want to have somebody sitting in the Presidential command office, when allmost every town in America has at least 1 Vietnam restraunt. (Simple things like smells, souunds, language can offset a flashback, I am in no way downgrading Him, or anyone else)

    B.Obama - Is not affileated with terrorisim. Has cut ties with his pastor. And to be quite frank, in every interview I have seen him conduct, he tells it like it is, has not tried to sugar coat anything, no matter how sour it is.

    True. So very true. It is sad so many have their eyes closed and can't see what is about to happen to them. This hussein guy will surely be the ruin of this country.

    For all you Republican bashers--what can the Democratic party do for me and my family? My husband and I make a decent living ($120,000+), support our three children (college funds paid for), have retirement accounts (401K and IRAs), and have excellent healthcare through our work. We don't have a mortgage crisis (we bought what we could afford) and are not overly impacted by the gas prices (traded in our car for a Prius--didn't waste our money on some monster 5 mpg SUV). So, what does Obama plan to do to "help" us? The only thing I see is that the Democrats plan is to increase my taxes to support the rest of this society who is irresponsible. I teach high school. Everyday, I see kids playing around and not taking advantage of their free education. Then, 10 years later, they are in low paying job complaining they don't have healthcare, money, etc. For all you bleeding heart liberals--how about something called personal responsiblity? The government owes you nothing.

    Well, maybe this gives some insight into why Johnny can't read? Sanctimony.
