    All these months past, I and millions of voters like me, were in hiding. No Poll took us into consideration,....We are the invisible Swing VOTES....and thus we are invisible UNTIL the MOMENT comes for us to cast our votes.....I and MILLIONS of Voters like me are voting for McCain/Palin for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the USA, one Nation under GOD. May McCain, a tried and true American WIN!

    Are you for real, johnmeg54? First of all, Obama is Christian, second of all, he's half white, and third of all do you ask John McCain to show a birth certificate? You are just buying into all the filth that the McCain campaign is slinging! I guess lies do perpetuate when people are ignorant (and it's really funny when ignorant people call others ignorant)! You are saying watch closely to the voting because you want to have a reason to cling to when Obama wins... you can't just accept the fact that this country needs someone who can actually change this country, not someone who is falsely claiming that he's not just another version of Bush. You are actually defending President Bush when his approval ratings are not even 25% right now? Ando you really think that the President that has been saying that our economy is not in trouble up until the day our stock markets crashed "warned" people about the state of our economy?

    This election is not about race, its about country and people. it is about what you can do for your country and for your children. This election has nothing to do with color. I'd like to think we were past "segragation". I hope we've moved on to bigger and better things.

    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???

    the GOP drives people with FEAR,and the dems lead with reality and promise for a better tomorrow. If it were up to people like the Hannity's and Rush's of the world,it would end tomorrow, but it WILL NOT!! Those two guys should be happy they might, they can REALLY preach fear for the next four or eight or twelve or sixteen years

    Has Obama ever shown a legitimate Birth Certificate. If he can't, he cannot be President. We should know more about him. I cannot believe anyone would vote for someone that does not believe in Jesus Christ. I am afraid for our country. You thought President Bush gave us 8 bad years, I think you should look again. It was President Bush in 2002, 2003 and 2004; and Senator John McCain in 2006 that warned Congress about Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, But we had Barney Frank that said we should go out and sell more homes, etc. and look what has happened. Everything was fine until two years ago when the Democrats took over the House and Senate. Some people are so ignorant. We better watch closely to the voting, lets keep it honest.

      I'm pretty sure this was all checked out in the beggining before he even started his campaign.

    This is in response to tweedle dee and tweedle dumb on here, gstoner73 and cathyif, first to gstoner73 you voted for George Bush, who at the last press conference I saw him give read directly from the teleprompter and still manage to flub his speech...oh and he didn' t even look good doing it...oh and isn't it funny i bet you never questioned the close to a billion dollars in campaign money that bush raised while running for president, but that's okay i understand stupidity reigns when one is endanger of not getting what one wants, get your facts straight before you go spouting off...so when Mccain removes the Repulican parties hand from up his butt, like the puppet he is destined to become, then and only then will I even consider him on the same level as Obama, or even say Ross Perot for that matter....
    Now for tweedle dumb cathyif...them der hills must get awful cold and lonely at night...you have to be about the dumbest person alive and why if someone disagrees with this countries policies on certain issues are we touted as flag hating commies...my advice to you is get some new rhetoric, I would respect you more had you just come out and said I don't like Obama because he's black, what kind of stupid hillbilly states that someone is the anti-christ, well if that is the case you need only look to your current president for the anti-christ, I do believe I saw the three sixes on his forehead one time...i feel sorry for your children...they will never know what intelligent, honest dialogue sounds like...if Mccain is elected I think I'm going to run for the hills and come live with you and your trusty old 6 shooter.....

    I completely agree with the following comment:

    Posted By: icekub27 @ 11/04/2008 10:00:42 AM
    Comment: Anyone who is saying either candidate is going to "destroy America" has been influenced by the politics of fear.

    Remember people, we all love our Country (including all of the candidates), we just have different opinions on what is "best" for the country. Were Abolitionist "anti-American" because they wanted an end to slavery? Were Suffragettes "anti-American" because they fought for women to have the right to vote? The great thing about our Country is that we are always evolving and improving. So stop the divisiveness and disrespect. No matter who wins, we all need to UNITE as PROUD AMERICANS!

    the president has no power to make sweeping changes. Neither major party candidate can or will have any real impact on our government and the direction of this country. By the time either candidate's agenda passes the congress, the bills will be so watered down that they won't even represent the ideas presented in the campaign. So rest easy "Republicans" and "Democrats" either way.. we're going to see our economy and our status in the world change. Its not for the better or the worse... its just they way history works.

    • Posted By: johnmeg54 @ 11/04/2008 10:33:10 AM

      i AM SORRY, BUT IF OBAMA GETS IN, WE WILL HAVE A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT, AS WELL AS THE SENATE AND CONGRESS. DO YOU THINK THAT WILL BE FAIR? THE COUNTRY WON'T HAVE A CHANCE. IT WILL BE ALL ONE-SIDED.

    Get ready to be unemployed! If BO wins and raises taxes on every working American, as he has voted to do. Businesses will HAVE to lay off workers, prices will increase, and the economy will fall farther than our dumbocrat house and senate have already taken it.

    The house and senate create the laws, the only thing that the President can do is pass or veto them. So yes, Pres Bush is responsible for the economy because he didn't veto the laws that the house and senate sent to him, but it is the STUPID DUMBOCRATS that wrote the laws and sent them to the President. I BO is elected, we will have a DUMBOCRAT controlled house, senate and president. We will be in big trouble then.

    I am so sick of you conservative Christians who rag on Obama for the partial birth abortion bill, yet will support Palin and Mcain who BOTH support the death penalty. You cant have it both ways can you??? I am NOT poor or uneducated, in fact I am more in tune with the issues than most and I PROUDLY cast my vote for Barack!!!

    • Posted By: Scartissue500 @ 11/04/2008 10:04:57 AM

      ???? So you think killing babies, who have barely gotton one breath in this life is on the same level as executing a convicted felon?? That, my friend, is WAY wrong...whether you are Christian or not. You may be a rich genius, but you are one immoral piece of sh*t. Have fun voting.

      • Posted By: atlred @ 11/04/2008 10:32:06 AM

        Nice talk for a "so-called" Christian. It is the right of each of us on this site to be able to voice an opinion without being called a "sh......" Using profanity is evidence of one's lack of vocabulary.

    I totally agree with GSTONER73.
    Get ready to forkover everything you have worked hard for you Obama lovers, give it to all those that dont work and do a damn thing all day!

  • Posted By: redforbarack @ 11/04/2008 10:29:22 AM

    You believe everything you hear? There is so much crap out their about both the candidates, you have to do your homework. In 2004, I kept hearing that Bush was the devil's advocate. Evidence showing one of his hand signals was definitely a sign he was with the devil. Well, he had done some pretty stupid and mean hearted things in the last 8 years but I am certainly not going to say he is a devil. The anti-christ....take our guns away, Marshall law.....don't be so ignorant. Do not believe everything you read....please!!!!

  • Posted By: noobrevenge @ 11/04/2008 8:26:56 AM

    his race and your feeling guilty should play no part in this election..this election should be based on their polocies and not his skin color...so what if he is PART black...he prolly is more white then black if it was looked at clearly...dont feel guilty and want to prove your not racist...vote against him because he is evil and gonna ruin this country.

    • Posted By: mavrick0 @ 11/04/2008 10:28:26 AM

      What???? You don't make any sense.

    • Posted By: snowstorm63 @ 11/04/2008 8:46:23 AM

      How can you in one line say that someone else is racist and in another say that Obama is evil??? You don't personally know him do you??? How do you know...I say that is reading into falsehoods.

  • Posted By: ronjones @ 11/04/2008 10:27:31 AM

    this looks like smoke and mirror's, I HOPE YOU GET WHAT YOU WISHED FOR (YOU, VOTED FOR IT)

  • Posted By: snowave47 @ 11/04/2008 10:27:08 AM
