Getting Ready to Rumble

Comment: The beautiful thing about America is that you have freedom of speech and can support whichever candidate you want to. But for the past few weeks I've been listening to people speak, and going into chat forums like this to read what people are thinking, and what really scares...and irritates me...is how much misinformation there is out there, especially about Obama. The American public is so misinformed it's tragic. People are believing the crappy McCain ads that they see on TV, and the hilarious chain emails that have been going around. And they've been taking them as gospel and using it to base their decision on who to vote for. Are you kidding me?

Get your facts straight before you start spewing ignorance. Get your facts straight before you start calling people names. Get your facts straight before you go to the polls.

I'm a Dem and a woman and a minority...but I didn't vote for Hillary in the primaries because I didn't believe her platform. I've read the websites of both McCain and Obama...and you know what? McCain has been doing such a "slight of hand" trick on people that you're not seeing what's really happening, what he really stands for. Absolutely nothing.

And Sarah Palin? Are you serious? If that woman becomes president we're all screwed. Is there racism involved in these elections? Of course there is! If Sarah Palin had been Obama's running mate, and had been black, or asian, or hispanic, and her 17 year-old daughter was pregnant, do you think the Reps would have applauded her for keeping the baby and said "everyone makes mistakes?" Ummm...let's see? NO! They would have crucified her in the media! The woman just got a passport last year...she's never been outside of the US...but she wants to talk about foreign policy? Now she's doing a photo op at the United Nations...give me a break people.

People will vote for whomever they choose, that's the great thing about democracy. But I just had to get this off my chest because it's been driving me nuts.

Alright...let the ugly comments begin! .........................

John McCain is an avid reader and is known for rereading many works of his favorite authors. The favorite author of John McCain is Herman Wouk who has written The Winds of War and the Caine Mutiny. Wouk served as an executive Naval officer aboard a minesweeper during War War II. Victor Henry the main character in Winds of War was a naval officer who became a confidant both to FDR and Harry Truman. FDR and Harry Truman went outside the normal channels of military command and relied on Victor Henry for straight talk advice on how to approach Russia and Germany and Japan prior and during World War II. John McCain sees himself as the Victor Henry character who understood the nuances of war and foreign policy better than anyone. John McCain is more knowledgeable about foreign policy than either Joe Biden or Barack Obama combined due to his military experiences. Barack Obama and Joe Biden have no military background between them and do not even have the background to know who to connect with to get straight back channel information. Barack Obama and Joe Biden lack the knowledge to even ask the right questions even if they could line up a current day Pug Henry commander to give them the straight scoop. Herman Wouk wove history into his novels. There is saying that those who do not know history are doomed to repeat history. John McCain knows history and will use that knowledge to guide the United States through the tough challenges that we face in the war on terror, radical Islam and dealing with a resurgent Russia.

When McCain says, "If I were president today," he's obviously referring to the decision he'd make on that particular day.

McCain has been the true leader in this whole mess - Osama has been sitting on the edge campaigning while McCain trys to save the country

I would prefer a President who didn't get captured. Being a POW is no more a qualification for president than is being the Governor of Alaska

I'm an undecided. I find these forums incredibly hostile. Few of you are doing your candidate justice an I suspect that both candidates would be disgusted by your venom. That said, what I've seen recently is an erratic McCain. He keeps throwing irrelevant distractions into the presidential campaign. My guess is that 8 years ago, McCain would've been a much better choice than Bush. But now, he just doesn't appear consistent or even stable. Obama, on the other hand, speaks with authority, calmness and actually presents concrete ideas for improvement and change. If I am to believe what BOTH men are saying, it's Obama who makes so much more sense. McCain & Palin are a lot of rhetoric, with no substance. I'd like to vote for McCain, but between his ill-choice for a running mate, not allowing her to speak to the public, his "creating" the Blackberry, the "fundamentals are strong" nonsense, de-regulation/regualtion swings, now this staged suspension of his campaign ... it's just so clear that he's erratic and will make bad choices once in office. It's sad because I think that he was once a very viable candidiate. My research tells me that Obama is a man of great character, strength & vision.

Come on people ... start putting two and two together! I know it's difficult for some, but, we're talking about the future of this country!

Of course Obama wants to debate. He has no real concern over the economy! He has enough money to "ride out the financial storm"! Do you?

Let's see: look into Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson. You say "Who?" You know ... the two former Fannie Mae CEOs who are campaign advisors and contributors to Obama's campaign!

Let's see smart Americans: Obama took the second largest amount of campaign finance money from Fannie Mae contributed to Congressional leaders at a whopping $126,000. McCain took in $22,000. Doesn't add up does it?

SO, sit back and think what you want about the great debater King ... I mean Obama ... and figure out if you would rather risk losing everything or watch Obama debate!

For me, it's a no brainer! Make Obama go back to the Senate chambers and start working for a change! This is a big deal for him - HE ACTUALLY HAD TO SHOW UP FOR WORK!

The media continues to push Obama in spite of public outrage over how McCain is treated by them. Ask yourself this question, why did'nt the headline say "McCain gets ready to Rumble?" He was the one who did not plan to attend due to the mess in Washington. Typical for Newsweek and MSNBC.

Paproudmom well if you want to support Mc Cain nobody denies your your right to do so, why whining about Obama? there will be people to vote for Obama and others for Mc Cain. By saying that you are not trying to change someone mind, you are doing just that. Keep your morality to yourself thank you, everyone can make decision.

This debate will show how out of touch McCain really is.Hey hockeymom i guess you'll only be able to post one blog,since they are affraid to let you screw up more than what their campaign already has.Good luck getting a W tonight .Obama 2008 it sounds so good........
