    My comment is... STOP!! Bitchin' everyone. It doesn't matter who wins for they are both doing the work for the commander -in- chief. As long as big dog's happy, your lives will be hell anyways. Have a nice day arguing over stupid politics. ;)

    It is funny how people think that having yet another 4 years run by the republican party could be a good thing for this country. After all are they not the ones who ran this country to the bottom of the barrel leaving our country so far into debt that our childrens', childrens, children's grandchildre might one day be able to see our country on the side of positive and not negative for the national debt. If Obama wins at least it is a chance to see change happen to maybe start us back on the trail to that positive. Heck with Bush took office remember how much he had to the positive yet with 6 months we were back in the negative. Clinton took us so high to only have Bush take us so low. I SAY WAKE UP EVERYONE AND LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE WHAT IS BEST FOR THE AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS - SCREW BIG BUSINESS

    Please, no one could be as bad as Bush, except maybe McCain...no I take that back, except maybe PALIN!!!!

  • Posted By: Texasdog @ 11/04/2008 4:08:46 PM

    Our Nation has already been through hell for Gods sake for 8 years now. I really don't care if McCain or Obama wins, I am just so thrilled to know Bush will soon be out of office with all of his cronies! I am so ashamed to say I voted for Bush in 2000, I will never tell my Grandchildren NEVER!

    Then why are all the blacks in this falling country voting for the BLACK MAN just because he is black?? They don't even know what he stands for!! Don't even talk about racism if you can't see your own blindness. Hypocrite

    Americans, must we fight over everything and point fingers at each other? Are you an adult or a child? Stand up and take responsibility for yourself. I am a single mom and I work for a living. I guess you would say that I am poor because I make less than $25K a year. But I LIVE within my means. I don't ask for handouts or point fingers. Now, my neighbor is black and does all of this and says that she is voting for Obama because he will help her with her financial problems. I am Native American and I am voting for McCain because he will make sure that America holds her head up and stands firm for what our forefathers wanted when they created this great nation. It DOES NOT matter if you are white, black, asian ..... be an American and take responsibility for yourself!

      Amen! Finally someone with some personal responsibility! Bless you!

    Its sad that people are fooled by Obama's smooth words. And quit with the African American BS he is a Muslim playing the black vote. How can you people vote for him and know about all his ties to bad people. And Michelle is so far from classy. I like how she said the "there are 60,000 un registered black voters in Florida." Well, I didnt know that only blacks lived here. What happen to the whites. Oh, i forgot they dont care bout us. Lets be like OBAMA and "hope" we fix the nation. Im tired of hoping. Hoping is a thought or feeling not reality. I hope it doesnt rain today?!!!! But, hoping that the nation is fixed and I have money for milk isnt realistic. We need actions not pretty words. People get a grip all he is doing is sugar coating and you will realise that you made a mistake and now we all r stuck with it for four years. So much for Democracy.

    So you would vote for someone who likes how Hitler ran his country. Who likes socialism who???s main financial backers are muslim extremists that are currently killing hundreds of people across the world. Who are not tolerable to freedom or rights or belief but believe that anyone that isn???t a Muslim is an infidel. To someone who wants to tax business who are already being taxed up to 37% (Could you survive that kind of taxing and hire employees) Tax those businesses more and who are you going to work for. They are either going to fold or send their work oversees since the US is already one of the highest taxing countries in the world. Then Obama considers partial birth abortion OK and babies that survive the abortion are thrown into a feces and blood filled basket locked in a room and left to die. Would you not consider that Murder? The child is alive and breathing. They feel pain. Might as well stick you in an outhouse and leave you to starve and die of disease.

    It's sad to see how unfair and bias Philadelphia is. As a first time voter and new resident to the Philly area I was in shock to see an voting office held in a church. I was in shock to see election workers putting up posters of a candidate outside the windows of the election office, to see workers handing out flyers of party ballots right at the doors of voting office. Finally, to have an official Voting Observer, who supposedly represents both parties, but carries a large tag hung from his neck showing one campaign & party's logo. All I can say is WOW!

    • Posted By: ohgoodness @ 11/04/2008 2:52:29 PM

      They have that right - also, voting is held in MANY different locations - churches offer up their space... if businesses opened up their space to voters, I'm sure they would have voting there as well.

      • Posted By: su1950 @ 11/04/2008 4:07:09 PM

        NO THEY DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO HANG POLITICAL POSTERS UP INSIDE POLLING PLACES. AND WE DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO WEAR POLITICAL CLOTHING IN POLLING PLACES EITHER. OR THEY WILL ASK YOU TO LEAVE!!!. NO VOTE!! READ THE LAWS PAL..

    4USA2MORROW, you are whats right with this country. People of one party voting against their party for the good of the nation.

    • Posted By: 4USA2MORROW @ 11/04/2008 4:06:56 PM

      ABSOLUTELY! The obvious choice is the Democratic party. People need to let go of their pipe dreams and wake the heck up! The country is in the toilet people! US of China - watch it, its coming and the civilians of this country of just getting behind the promise of the almighty buck instead of what's right, honest and true!
