    You people are sadly mistaken if you think McCain would be a good President WRONG!!!! First, we all know that McCain has supported Bush's policies for 8 YEARS and will keep our men and women at war for how long what did he say 100 years if that's what it will take. First of all people who believe that OBAMA is a muslim DO YOUR RESEARCH. For all people who believe OBAMA is a terrorist DO YOUR RESEARCH! If your saving and checking acounts are empty and if you lost any money during the wall street breakdown and if you have been recently laid off or feel any pain at the pump, pain while paying your utilities and pain while shopping for groceries THEN YOU MUST VOTE FOR CHANGE=OBAMA. McCain has no clue about the struggles of this country NOT TO MENTION HE SUPPORTS OFF SHORE DRILLING!!! Him and his wife are RICH and they don't care nor do they want to fix have you heard McCain address any of the issues stated above NO you know why BECAUSE HE IS OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY AND THE REALITIES EACH AMERICAN FACES ON THE DAILY BASIS DUE TO THE LAST 8 YEARS OF REPUBLICAN BULL ***

    StopThe Hatred08 - It is unfortunate that racism continues to exist, but do realize how far we have come as a nation in the last 40 years. I agree that we should evaluate people by their principles, not their color. I am a McCain supporter because of a majority of his positions, and did not vote for Obama primarily because of the democratic tax and spend policies, and the redistribution of wealth position. However, if Obama wins, I will still be an American, and will support our president.

    You know what is so disappointing is that so many are talking about money being taken away. Don't you realize that America needs to re-tool. Not any different for an operating business. We have been using the same old tools for years and they do not work anymore. Let???s re-tool America to a better place to live in and be part of this new change. And when it comes to black and white?????? no one is 100% pure in the US.

  • Posted By: ziibi-ikwe @ 11/04/2008 1:27:44 PM

    I am scared out of my mind of what will happen to our country if McCain wins.
    Are Americans thinking at all for themselves or are they so brainwashed they are willing to elect a man that will bring us into WWIII?

    Barack "The Pied Piper" Obama has a finely tuned flute and will surely lead all of his blind follwers to their ends by turning this country on its back like a turtle. Charles Barkely said it perfectly " Poor pepole have been voting democrat for 50 years and they are still poor"

      I bet you are broke too.

    Comment: Is everyone out blind and stupid. Do you actually believe that by electing Obama that he is actually going to make a change for the good of our country? I am a hispanic and have worked and paid taxes since I was twelve years old, I am now 54 years old and still working just as hard to make a living. Right now the more I make the more taxes I pay. About 35% of what I make goes to the Government already. Women that have 5 or more kids from five or more different men that go on welfare so they can go out and have fun and drink and do drugs while their kids are on their own. Men that are on disabilty that go out and play golf and drive brand new cars and sit and wait for their government checks to come in so they can pay for their 250,000 dollar homes. I can go on and on, the point is I/m supposed to give my hard earned money to those people that manufacture baby's so they can get more of my money and those whore sit on their fat ass and wait forthe goverment check to come in, that I'm going to pay for? I don't think so!!! I was taught along time ago that nothing in life is free. you go out and work for what you need and that is the way it should be for everybody in these great United States of what we call America. And you think that we should elect Obama that can't even stand at attention with his hand over his heart when the national anthem is being played because he doesn't believe in it!!! Are you people crazy???? Just because he is making fool's of all of you that vote for him. Wake Up!!! This man is no more for this country than the terrorist that are trying to destroy our country> All you are doing is making it easier for them to acomplich what the started on 9-11!!!

    From the first time I heard her speak, Sarah Palin's shreeky voice irritated the hell out of me. I would go crazy if I had to hear that voice for the next 4 years. I have not been able to listen to Bush for the past 4 years, having to turn the sound down whenever he is on the media. Obama is a much better speaker and more sincere IMO. His only downfall might be that he has promised much more than he can deliver. We shall see!

  • Posted By: saynotobo @ 11/04/2008 10:36:10 AM

    If BO wants to help the economy, why doesn't he give back the HALF MILLION DOLLARS that he took from Fanny Mae?

    Why has the DUMBOCRAT party out spent the Republicans THREE to ONE? Talk about wasting money in this economy. The DUMBOCRATS can't control their own money, HOW ARE THEY GOING TO CONTROL OURS?

  • Posted By: Welborn @ 11/04/2008 1:25:40 PM

    My Question is What happened to all the smart people in our U.S.? Obama will turn this nation into a big
    joke ,with the rest of the world and the Muslim and terrorist will take over, They are waiting for that invite if
    Obama wins. But if McCain wins they will stay back cuz they know we will Kick butt,with McCain in Office and the Military will become stronger to protect our nation with McCain.

  • Posted By: ilovemydogalex @ 11/04/2008 10:38:07 AM

    This election in the full aspect of it all may not be about race but ask any black person voting in urban areas why they are really voting. VOTE McCain people! He fought for our country...does that mean anything to you???

    • Posted By: klwimberly @ 11/04/2008 1:25:22 PM

      No because he was not the only one who fought, but unlike a lot of those who served with him, he is still alive. He is barely alive but still alive and he is filthy rich unlike yourself so please do not cry a river for him. He will be just fine.

  • Posted By: renaeparsons @ 11/04/2008 11:58:40 AM

    McCain is nothing like Bush! McCain is a POW and a great example of America. Do we really want a abortion loving, gay marraige approving president people? Come on, America!

    • Posted By: Dem all the way @ 11/04/2008 12:46:01 PM

      Yes!!!!!!!!!

      • Posted By: kelligirl1 @ 11/04/2008 1:24:16 PM

        Wow! Have we no morals or ethics left in this country? We'd rather take out chance on someone who can't even produce a birth certificate proving he's even eligible to be the president, than someone who has fought and served for our country on the battleground as well as many years in a public office, there are no questions of John McCains past!
        Jump off of that far left kool-aid drinking bandwagon that your on and realize there is bigger issues than the gays and lesbians in this country!

    • Posted By: prizim71 @ 11/04/2008 12:09:51 PM

      Yes I do want an pro-choice president, yes i want a president that is pro gay marriages, pro gay adoption, because seriously folks.. we are wayyy behind the times when people still think that being gay is an option its not, and who really cares who one marries as long as they love each other, because as we all know we straight folks certainly can't get marriage right since 1 out 2 marriages end in divorce.

    • Posted By: mr_tall @ 11/04/2008 12:03:29 PM

      Being a poor pilot and a good prisoner who was once an honerable man does not qualify one for the presidency.

  • Posted By: doll123 @ 11/04/2008 1:23:41 PM

    gtzgirl u sound uterly ridiculous. One thing is true, we all should indeed check the facts. but it appears you have missed doing what u preach. And why do you think Mcain is the best choice, leaving his first wife because she was so mangled after a tragic accident not standing by her side which would have been the best choice. And marring someone for show & money. Think about & research that. how could you over look that

  • Posted By: Average_Joe @ 11/04/2008 10:50:39 AM

    BHO is going to bring change! No doubt about it. "It is about time that the rich elite are forced to give their money to the poor and needy, regardless of the fact that they worked hard or took risks to get it." This is the most socialist statement I have ever heard and it has been repeated by countless BHO supporters. BHO is a marxist and he is going to bring our country to the brink of complete failure. ....

    • Posted By: Dem all the way @ 11/04/2008 1:23:36 PM

      I see your point - Bush and his republican croonies have done so well the last 7.5 years with making our economy crash with their trickle down economics that your arguement seems so valid. Wake up!!

    This election should not be about Obama being black or McCain being a war hero. It shouldn't about the fact that Obama is young and McCain older. It should be about their political veiws and nothing else, not how they were raised or when they were born.

  • Posted By: Spiffy @ 11/04/2008 1:21:34 PM

    obama is making way to many promise he can't keep. We live in a still dangerous world and we need a mccain as president. Race or religion is just another attempt at poor little us.

  • Posted By: SARAHKRAUSE @ 11/04/2008 1:20:56 PM

    Darlene, You sound like an angry, disenfranchised, spoiled sort with a "victim" mentality that just might SNAP like you accuse McCain might do because he was tortured. I didn't call you a name.... I said that you sound like what I just described. You are the name caller. Grow up. You just might get what you want, but don't come crying to the rest of us when you find the USA starts sinking into a pit and you can't get your welfare check on time. We have to work for a living to pay for folks who don't. That's is big government. If NoBama gets in, we will see even bigger government. Who do you think is going to pay for that? Imagine how much more I will have to work to support people.... perhaps like you. That is a sad thought. As for McCain's choice of SP for VP, it's poor manners to call people names. Your hatred (and ignorance) is showing. It is not all the Republican's fault for the of the mess we are in. Perhaps you should take a look at the senate. Something nasty is going on there. May I suggest you go back to your school books and finish your education.

  • Posted By: Bamagrl830 @ 11/04/2008 10:42:01 AM

    Isn't it funny how Obama is already leading in electoral votes when the POLLS JUST OPENED!?!?! Crazy....I mean, it looks as if us Republicans have no chance, huh? Might as well go home, give it up. I don't even know why we are having an election for....since Obama has been winning all this time. I had no idea that a candidate could be considered the winner BEFORE the votes were counted. Who would have thunk it? I guess that is the new "change" we are all looking for. Take all the guess work out of it. I sure hope that makes Michelle Obama "proud" of her country for the 2nd time in her life. What a joke. Americans: WAKE UP! Do you not realize what kind of person you are voting for when you cast your vote for Barak Hussein Obama. The name itself should tell you! If not, go look up "Ayers" and you will see Obama's name all over the place. If you think our economy is bad now....you haven't seen anything yet! Obama doesn't care anything about your white American butts either!
