    Why is Barack Obama always putting Joe Biden his running mate in a peculiar position.

    Barrack Obama stated that the reason he did not join the military service was that the United States was not at war at the time when he was eligible to serve and most people join.

    Barack Obama knows that Joe Biden did not join the military service because of an asthma condition that was not diagnosed until his teenage years. Joe Biden had horribly bad luck, ninety percent of all children are diagnosed with asthma before age six but Joe Biden was unlucky enough to be in the ten percent group of children who acquire asthma after age six and became asthmatic when he was a teenager. After five student deferments while he attended college and law school, his teenage asthma finally came to the attention of his local Selective Service Board and he missed the opportunity to serve his country during time of war as an officer.

    But for his bad luck with his teenage asthma diagnosis, Joe Biden could have gone in and served his country honorably as a officer and a gentleman and perhaps as a Judge Advocate Law Officer similar to his son.

    Barack Obama should be kinder to his running mate and not emphasize that he did not serve because the country was not at war in contrast to Joe Biden who did not serve while the country was at war.

    How can we trust Barack Obama on health care if he is a smoker?

    Would not someone who really wants to hold down healthcare costs want to quit smoking.

    Is Barack Obama a chain smoker or not? If he is only a closet smoker and not transparent by smoking in public and admitting that he has a nicotine addiction then how can we trust him on other issues that are truly grave?

    Does he smoke a lot of cigarettes only when he plays poker with his Chicago friends or is it a daily habit?

    We want to know if Barack Obama is going to promise to not chain smoke around Joe Biden because Joe Biden had asthma as a teenager.

    The reason that Joe Biden could not fight for his country in 1968 during the peak of the Vietnam War was that he had teenage asthma. Joe Biden had horribly bad luck, ninety percent of all children are diagnosed with asthma before age six but Joe Biden was unlucky enough to be in the ten percent group of children who acquire asthma after age six and became asthmatic when he was a teenager. After five student deferments while he attended college and law school, his teenage asthma finally came to the attention of his local Selective Service Board and he missed the opportunity to serve his country during time of war as an officer.

    But for his bad luck with his teenage asthma diagnosis, Joe Biden could have gone in and served his country honorably as a officer and a gentleman and perhaps as a Judge Advocate Law Officer similar to his son. We hope that Barack Obama will not smoke in front of Joe Biden because the smoke could aggravate Joe???s asthma that prevented him from serving his country during time of war.

    We can not trust Barack Obama on health care if he is a smoker.

    Vote for John McCain!!!!!!!!

    John McCain is the one who can come up with solutions to our economic problems.

    Barack Obama and Joe Biden are mathematically challenged. Send them back to school and this time have them study something that is useful.

    Joe Biden with his history and political science double major in college and Barack Obama???s major in political science give them absoloutely no economic, scientific, quantitative or analytical background to handle the pressing economic and military problems facing our country.

    These two mathematically challenged Democrats are supposed to be able to crunch numbers and understand how to cope with our economic and budget crisis. Two people who probably can???t add four numbers together are suppose help solve our economic crisis.

    Do you know that they offer basic accounting continuing education classes to lawyers because most lawyers do not understand simple accounting. We have had enough mathematically challenged lawyers screw up our country.

    You at least know that John McCain has the computational and analytic skills to compute fuel loads, cargo weights, wind speeds, and trip distances to keep from running out of gas on missions.

    Vote for John McCain!!!!!!!!

    Vote for John McCain!!!!!!!!


    How would you like it, if Joe Biden or Barack Obama would take the controls and fly your Boeing 777 on your next commercial flight here in the US. Most independent and undecided voters would not rest easy knowing that Biden or Obama can rely on what they learned in their civil procedure class to help you land safely and not run out of jet fuel during the trip. Pilots have proven analytical skills.
    There is a saying that there are old and bold pilots but no old bold pilots. John McCain has that good judgment and he has the proven analytical skills to be able to tackle our budget problems. Barack Obama and Joe Biden can spend the next four years and take some accounting and economics continuing legal education classes.
    After four years of academic coursework, then they might be able to throw their hat in the ring. Given their academic training, a trillion dollars may look the same as a million dollars on a budget spreadsheet.
    Vote for John McCain!! He is the one who can come up with solutions to our economic problems.

    Vote John McCain!!!! Vote John McCain!!!!

  • Posted By: mccainsupporter @ 10/14/2008 10:44:33 AM

    Vote John McCain!!!!

    I want the President to be someone who can think for himself and not rely exclusively like a blind person on a particular advisor. I want someone who understands numbers and can make analytical decisions himself.

    Years of computing payloads, fuel requirements, weather and distances as a pilot are the experiences that John McCain brings to the table when listening to economic proposals.

    His eyes will not glaze over when there are ten page budget spreadsheet proposals presented to him. Barack Obama and Joe Biden have no mathematical or quantitative education or experience between them.

    They do not teach accounting in law school. That is why they offer basic basic accounting to attorneys as continuing education classes after they are licensed. I also am willing to bet that neither Barack Obama or Joe Biden never took a basic accounting continuing legal education class to improve their lack of skills. Both Obama and Biden were political science majors as undergraduate which means they have no quantitative training or mathematical background.

    John McCain is the one who can come up with solutions to our economic problems.
    Barack Obama and Joe Biden are mathematically challenged. Send them back to school.

    About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:

    'A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government.'
    'A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.'
    'From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.'

    'The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years'

    'During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:

    1. from bondage to spiritual faith;
    2. from spiritual faith to great courage;
    3. from courage to liberty;
    4. from liberty to abundance;
    5. from abundance to complacency;
    6. from complacency to apathy;
    7. from apathy to dependence;
    8. from dependence back into bondage'

    Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:

    Number of States won by: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29
    Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000
    Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143 million
    Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1

    Professor Olson adds: 'In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare...' Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the 'complacency and apathy' phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the 'governmental dependency' phase.

    If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal's and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

    If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message. If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

    WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE,
    ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE

    I want to suggest to Steve Schmidt that McCain and Palin do a video enactment of The Handmaids Tale. Palin would be perfect in the part of "Aunt" Sarah. Their supporters would be beyond thrilled and I think the novel pretty accurately depicts their political philosophy.

    Latest News: McCain dies, Palin becomes President of the USA!!!!

    Who is Palin? The wife of Todd, a (former?) member of AIP. He gets involved in her job.
    What do we know about her? Very little, she has abused her power and supports the AIP.....
    What is her knowledge of issues? We know little, besides a couple of poor interviews.....
    What is her character? She lied and lied and was an attack dog with smears and more lies....
    What is the AIP? The Alaskan Independence party, a party that curses America and wants the independence for Alaska......

    Well think twice because this is potentially very REAL. McCain is 72, his father died at 70, had cancer 4 times and 47% of Americans think he will not finish his 1st term........

    Are you Patriot, do you think in this country or YOURSELF?

    THE GREAT BUSH DEPRESSION
    I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
    He perfectly predicted the current meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen next
    is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
    The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide ,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch , Fanny and Freddy Mae ,AIG
    The government took them over because they are bankrupt. Even with the goverment nationalizing hundreds of billions of dollars in debt the stock market is crashing
    the credit markets are frozen and all of us may suffer beyond anything seen in generations
    McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
    That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand how its been broken.
    It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use quantum mathematical models very few people understand.
    Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.
    Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
    Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
    No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He was the last to know somthing was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime. Check out this link to the truth http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo
    It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
    even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a budget surplus like Bush did but a crashing economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
    If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
    When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
    So why are the polls even close then ?
    Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time talking about obama
    which means running the biggest smear campaign in history.
    They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
    Let's teach him we are smarter than that
    Stand up and hold them accountable
    Bush isn't on the ballot this year but his policies are
    Elect Obama Biden 2008

      no...he did not help end the war...ask him!
      The failure to bring all the violencce around the world to the American streets (the real goal), failed so badly the group went underground to hide as long as posible.
      The person who ended the war was Nixon. The removal of US troops there began and continued when Nixon took over. and continued to the 1972-73 timeframe.
      Johson got the war all turned into a mess! And therefor announced to not run for office a second time.

    Didn't you read about how the Repulician are a bunch of liars, Somebody has to pay the bills, what you want to keep barrowing from China. How long before they own us. They pull babies out in the ninth month and kill them, if the mom has already has one kid, ALL THE TIME. If you think that Republician care about abortion you are a fool. if they made it illeagal, you would not vote for them. They just pull it out every 4 years . One of the first cases Robert G had on the Sup. Court was to allow an inmate to have an abortion at tax payers expense. Actions speak louder then words, they had all the power for 7 years. They could have changed ANYTHING! All they did was go for all the money they could get, deregulating EVERYTHING at the tax payers expense. I will tell you what is sick, the thousands of children being blown up in Iraq, for a lie. All of us are going to be poor for a long time paying to clean up the mess we made there. Check out the facts, the actions, don't go on rumors and beliefs. These people will stop at nothing to trick you, Go to Congress and The Sup. Court websites, check out what these people are doing.

      You are 100% right!. They had 6 years control of everything and did overturned Roe vs Wade? Noooooo, Why? Because they only use for stupid to vote for them instead of issues and if the make it illegal then nothing to hook the brainless on......
      Look the statistics! Since Roe vs Wade there was a small peak and since then it has been DECLINING, meaning the abortion rate. It is down when economics are good like with Clinton and worse when economics are bad like with Bush.....Same for divorce, so who are in favor of MORE ABORTION and MORE FAMILY DESTROYED?
      You guessed right: REPUBLICANS!!!!!!!!!

    to the World. Winning is not an option in the path to becomming the President of the USA.

      The de-regulation started with Charles Keating with support of friend McCain (remember the keating five by chance?) and then fluorished under Reagan. So, go back to the books. Democrats have been in Congress for 2 years compared with republicans for how long? over 20? lost count....

  • Posted By: Democrat-Hillary @ 10/13/2008 5:25:01 PM

    On page 373 of John McCain's 2002 memoir Worth the Fighting For, you'll find the following quote:
    "I didn't decide to run for President to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be President because it had become my ambition to be President. I was sixty-two years old when I made the decision and I thought it was my one shot at the prize."
