Vote for McBama

I could care less if there is a D or an R in front of the guy I vote for. I vote for the good of my family. This economy stinks, I am sick of cutting back farther each year. To add insult, this year has been the worst. ENERGY POLICY, get it McBama? A good energy policy does more than lower fuel costs, it creates good jobs, and reduces our trade deficit. .Get involved, write your Congressperson, support sites like this:

Tell your friends to do the same. Voting for president is important but the decisions made in the House Of Reps, are the ones that really hurt us.

You Obama supporters sound like a bunch of racist to me. For some odd reason here I'm picking up that as long as a whitey is in office, America is in a dungeon. WHat gives? Why all the animosity towards whitey? Is the only way this country recognizes change if whitey is no longer the president? Is this the new attack on white men in America? First, Affimative Action that is mean't for everyone other then white men regardless of how poor or disadvantaged he may be. Now we have the only way this country is going to change is if we have ANY other race other then a white male in office?. Man, I hope this kill whitey mentality isn't the change everyones really hoping for. Stop the attack on whitey please....

We have been Democrats for many generations, but as of now all of my family will be voting Republician.

You have mistated many of Obama's positons here. Your segment of this blog shoudl be called "Lack of Judgement Call". Sheesh.

Regarding the lies and misquotes SPORTLOCK was posting, supposedly from Obama's books, here is the truth.

Dah... we always said OBama will be a good VP.. let him comeback in 4 0r 8 years.. with some substantial experience under his belt. Thanks Samuelson.

How am I going to get through people's damn, thick heads that as long as the Democrats and Republicans run the country nothing is going to get any better? It seems the more I rant and rave against both parties the more people support those parties even when they know full well voting for either of the candidates will not make any difference. Have people given up and are just going through the motions? Americans remind me of passengers aboard the Titanic who just stood around with their fingers up their posteriors mumbling that the ship wasn't going to sink. These folks, according to eyewitnesses, were in the water drowning and still believed that the ship wasn't going to sink. They had completely blocked out reality. I suspect that explains the stupidity of the dumb American voter who keeps replacing Democrats and Republicans with more Democrats and Republicans and then stands around with his thumb up his posterior wandering why nothing ever gets better.

This is my favorite line from this piece by far:

McCain campaign spokesman Brian Rogers: It doesn't bode well for Senator Obama's pledges to run a campaign of hope and change when on the first day of the general election he's launching the same tired negative attacks that the American people are so sick and tired of.

What the American people truly are sick and tired of is politicians lying through their teeth even when faced with cold hard fact and truth. The Republicans certainly weren't complaining about "negative attacks" when people who were speaking out against the Iraq invasion early on were lambasted by the media and they had the public feeding on whatever line they chose to give out. But when the truth about the war and the patent falsehoods that were propagated by the administration started coming to light, suddenly it was "the liberal media attacking" them.

An administration that can't stand straight in the light of day and stand tall in the face of truth is not one that I would choose to be led by. Our Constitution, our very government was created in defiance of tyranny and once stood as a beacon that several other nations the world over chose to follow. How far this government has fallen from that ideal. You don't create democracy by invading another country and installing your own puppet government, for that is the path of the despot and the tyrant. You don't lead with the whip, you lead by example.

McCain has shown time and again that rather than stand straight and face truth, he would instead twist and distort it to make him appear something he is not. Values he once spoke out for and stood by he has readily abandoned in order to curry favor from his own party. Even if he chose to break away from Bush and his plans, it would still be a third term of an administration rife with dishonesty and double dealing with the American public.

I am an independent myself, and as a Texan, I honestly had some hope for Bush making a positive change. Those hopes were shattered his first year in office, though, before even 9/11. Watching and reading about Obama, however, I find myself hoping again. He has endured countless attacks on his person and integrity, and has weathered them all with greater poise and honesty than most I have seen in a long time. He says that he is for a more transparent government and greater communication with the people of this nation. Unlike his adversary McCain, his voting history and his policies bear that out. There is a world of difference between a "negative attack" and "setting the record straight," and it's time the American public became more active and started learning about that. I do believe that Obama is this nation's best chance at this juncture in history to rise once more and stand on its own in the light of day. When choosing your leader, be sure it is one that listens to you and speaks for you, not one that speaks to you and would have you listen.

JOHN McTemper TYPICAL WHITE LIES.

Reporter: Senator, Maya Rodriguez at the CBS station out of New Orleans. My understanding is you have voted twice against the creation of a commission to investigate the levee failures in New Orleans. And my question is, why have you voted against that?

McCain: I've supported every investigation and ways of finding out what caused the tragedy. I've been here to New Orleans. I've met with people on the ground. I've met with the governor. I'm not familiar with exactly what you said, but I've been as active as anybody in efforts to restore the city.

You are aware this is what we have now right?

A Republican president and a Democratic Congress. The president has proven steadfast (a quality you praise) in his stubborness and complete wrongheadedness. The Congress has proven fickle, weak and unable to stop him.

So why, Mr. Samuelson, are you proposing we do AGAIN exactly the SAME thing we've been doing for the past 8 years? Which has proven so disasterous. Please answer me that question. Otherwise it seems like you wrote one of the least thought out pieces I've ever seen at Newsweek.

No in this country, I'm afraid you have to choose. Between the Democrat or the Republican. If you want to vote for McCain, Samuelson, do so. But do not delude yourself into thinking he will be counteracted by a Congress that has already proven itself weak and indecisive. No, sir. If you vote for McCain you're voting for a war with Iran and a continuation of the disasterous policies we've seen for the past 8 years. Period.
