    Your gift of writing is a great one for us to enjoy all the time. Even more so with this piece, so well written and SO important for us to read. Maybe someday "Glad you beat it!" will be "Glad we are succeeding in our fight against it!". May you, may we, live so long!

    Cancer will continue to be incurable. In fact there will be many more new types of cancers emerging. In other words, the cancer situation will get worse and no president in the U. S. A. can do anything to stop it.

    McCain has acknowledged voting with President Bush 90 percent of the time in Congress, Obama said.

    "And suddenly he's the change agent? Ha. He says, 'I'm going to tell those lobbyists that their days of running Washington are over.' Who is he going to tell? Is he going to tell his campaign chairman, who's one of the biggest corporate lobbyists in Washington? Is he going to tell his campaign manager, who was one of the biggest corporate lobbyists in Washington?"

    "I mean, come on, they must think you're stupid," Obama said as the crowd laughed and cheered

    Question for McCain: "Mr. McCain, the argument of your campaign is that the McCain-Palin ticket should be elected because it has more executive experience than the Obama-Biden ticket. But you have no executive experience, while Sarah Palin does. So what executive role will Sarah Palin play in your administration? Will she be in charge of energy policy? Of social policy with regard to abortion and gay rights? Of foreign policy?"

    And if McCain suggests that he will put Palin in charge of a task force or a study group, the follow-up must be: "But that's just writing a report. Your campaign is pinning the argument for your election on the executive advantage that Sarah Palin brings to the ticket. So, again, what job will this essential executive have in your administration?"

    Make McCain DECLARE what Palin's SPECIFIC role as Veep will be...and then see where she stands on that issue or policy.

    Energy?...and then bring up how she cancelled wind farm projects.

    Social policy?...and then point out her exteme views on abortion or on creationism or ...even better..."abstinence-only sex education"?

    Foreign policy?....

    uh...

    Earmarks?....and then ask which "Bridge to Nowhere" she opposed...and which she supported?

    Garbage collection and parks and playgrounds?....sure. That'll work, that's the kind of executive experience she had as Mayor of Wasilla.

    SARAH PALIN IS A COWARD AND SMOKESCREEN/DISTRACTION FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO TALK ABOUT ANY ISSUES!!!

    What The Next President Do?

    My Answer is: The next U. S. President John McCain can declare Maryland his home state.

    An important presidential election record will be broken this year, it is not the first time that a woman or Black person will be elected to the Executive office. We will be seeing the greatest American tragedy unfolding right before our eyes. It is one the very few time when a native son will not be elected by his own state. To make it worse, such native son is the greatest hero in an area which has always been the pride and joy of that state. Correct me if I am wrong. I have hardly heard any one at the Republican Convention or during their campaign mentioned the Annapolis Naval Academy, not even McCain himself. Being born in Panama to a naval family and travel all over this country and the world, McCain really does not have a true home. Arizona is a states he used for election to Congress which he has not visited frequently. The Navy Academy, which is only ten miles from Baltimore, is the only place McCain can really call his home in which he had spent the happiest time of his college life with his navy friends. Maryland should welcome her naval son with open arms and elect him as president.

    But, no! Maryland have 1.6 million Black or approximately 30 % of the state???s population or making it the ???Black Capital??? near of the U. S Capital. It was 36 % to 61% (almost double) in favor of Obama over Hillary during the primary here. All media and people here have expressed the sad fact that little or no Marylanders will vote for McCain. I personally don???t like McCain very much but my conscience forced me to campaign for him. This episode is not only the greatest disgrace of all Americans but also of that of the human race. It is an unforgivable sin committed by all Marylanders especially her Black racists, I am ashamed to live in the state of Maryland. I suggest the Government relocate its Naval Academy out of Maryland. This time, the true and only battle ground states are not Ohio, Florida or Michigan but Maryland. The decision is not who is going to become president? But whether God had made a mistake in creating man?

    With this letter I, as prophet, have ended this election right here and now!

    Dear concerned citizens of America and mass media of the U.S.A.

    As a concerned disabled American Veteran and American citizen, I consider it my duty and responsibility to address the following critical issues facing the voters of our Greatgrand nation, the United States of America [USA].

    The citizens of the United States of America [USA] have the ultimate power and responsibility to elect the Right Ticket with the right joint "temperament, judgment, and statesmanship" to lead our nation as well as change our nation's present and future moral, political, economic, educational, health care, energy, military, and foundational soul.
    In my firm professional, personal, and political opinion, the media should help the common voter to explore and discuss the following attributes of the present Republican and Democratic presidential slates:
    1. Does the joint ticket have a calm, cool, and collected " temper and impulse" [Presidential Temperament]?
    2. Does each ticket have sound and sustained "Judgment and Caliber"?
    3. Does each ticket have a "presidential depth and degree" in regard to their purpose, policies, and positions?
    4. Does each ticket have adequate, "understanding and knowledge" of workings around Washington"?
    5. Does each ticket have enough "vigor, wisdom and Vision" for the future of our beloved Great-grand Nation?
    6. Does each ticket possess enough joint foreign policy experience and ex-poser based on "American Values, Virtues, Vastness, and strong soul"?
    7. Are their campaign talk, slogans, ads, plans, and programs based on facts and are they free of fear, fiction, frivolous labels, unfair attacks, negativity, and impulsivity? [Danger to country and countries mission[s].
    8. Ultimate irony is he stool change message and uses Palin to kill the messenger. Maverick McCain not good for USA and White House.


    As a Independent registered voter I have decided to vote for Obama-Biden ticket. I am sure they will protect our national security, Strong's, stamina and strong soul. Rebuild our nation from bottom up in all areas of need, OBAMA-BIDEN ticket will once again restore and rebuild our global standing with the use of maximum international firm diplomacy and minimal force if and when indicated.


    Yours sincerely,

    COL. A.M. Khajawall [Ret] MD., Forensic psychiatrist, Colonel, US-AR / MC Combat Stress Control[Ret], Disabled American Veteran and Iraq Freedom team.

    PS: This nation will not buy into kitchen sink strategy. We are getting deeper into internal and external holes thru these attacks and world is laughing on us and enjoying our partisan Pitt Bull wounds. I am sure GOP.RC, FOX, RUSH, ROVE.And McCain's his surrogates will fail to dupe, deceive, and deprive USA its deserved leadership.
