Why McCain Won

The "sad" truth is that Sarah Palin is the most qualified of all four candidates. She is the only one with Chief Executive experience. She is one of 50 Governors (a very effective and popular one at that). The other three are members of a pampered debating society. Barack Obama has only spent 145 DAYS on the floor of the Senate -- most to cast "present" votes. Sarah Palin may not yet be qualified for the Presidency, but Barack Obama has no credentials whatsoever. Consider this, too. Even a passing association with any one of these scoundrels -- Ayers, Rezko, Khalidi, Flager or Wright -- would preclude a lesser man from even receiving a security clearance. Yet you would vote for him to have his finger on the nuclear trigger? Is it not fair game to even ask about his background? Even he concedes some "lapses" in judgement, but then lashes out whenever he is pressed to elaborate. The Obama campaign cries foul over any guilt by association, yet their entire campaign has been built around creating a false illusion that McCain is really George Bush in sheep's clothing. It that's the standard, then I shudder to think who the real Obama is!

Why do you snobs think that low information voters are voting for McCain? I would think its the other way around.

Iamme,
See there it is...all talking points. You don't provide any real reason to vote for Obama. Barack "wanting to do what's best for the country" is not the same as doing what's best for the country. Agreed, Bush made huge mistakes, but it wasn't just Bush. It was Barney Frank and the Democrat group that refused to listent to the calls from the right that something needed to be done about Freddie and Fannie. It was the social engineering again that forced these companies to maintain a quota of loans to low income individuals that could never pay them back. This is fact, check up on it. We have countless taped recordings of democrats like Barny Frank and Maxine Waters saying how Freddie and Fannie didn't need to be reformed and they did a fantastic job helping the low income comunity get houses. What a crock! They lent to people who couldn't pay them back , because the democratic social engineers thought "everyone" deserved their own house. No, everyone does not deserve a house. If you can't pay for one, sorry, you don't deserve one. Now if we would have left the free market to decide this, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in.

Again, let me stress, that I think Bush spent way too much and this bailout thing is absurd, but he is certainly better than Barack. Furthermore, McCain has said time and again that he dissagrees with bush and wants a spending freeze, while Obama wants to keep on spending.

As far as your claim that most economists agree with Obama, that is just untrue. Obama may be smart, but he doesn't have any background in economics. If you read economic text books, and most economic journals, you will find that indeed, most economic scholars denounce social engineering as a flawed and outdated philosophy. Free markets, while also flawed, still have done more to improve standards of living across the Globe than any other philosphy out there. Just ask yourself one question. Why has the united states been the most prosperous and powerfull country in the world for so long? Why does it also provide the most freedom for its people? We are obviously doing something that others aren't doing. What is that? Well it's our fundamental philosphy that freedom creates prosperity, and freedom allows our people to do what we do best. We aren't hampered by regulations, and a government that thinks they know best on how to spend our money. We are still the freest country in the world and we need to fight to keep it that way. Are there any other countries in the world that have shown the economic strength and consistency of the US, while allowing it's people to be among the freest in the world? The answer is categorically no. This notion that we need to be more like everyone else is just absurd.

science includes genetics....look how old mccains mom is and realize he has enough years left to go at least one term and probably 2. and don't think the melenoma will have any effect. I work with cancer patients all the time and if it has't matastisized by the time it's removed, it won't kill you

Oh, our paradigm will definitely be shifted - soundly to the left!

Idiots like you are constantly posting bull**** like this b/c you know McSame is about to lose the elections and you GOP supporters don't have an answer for it!!!!!!!!

sf2145........Your assumption that common sense people and decent people will only vote for Obama id riduclous if not totally unfair fo you to say.

Actually its not. My mother always said, "Birds of a feather, flock together". This bird flocks only with the ones who "take the HIGH road".

That has got to be the most idiotic comment I've read thus far. How you could say that proof of racism would be shown by the 98% of people that vote for Obama is beyond comprehension. I'm African-American and I will be voting for Obama, not because he's black, but because I believe he's the right person for the job. However, I voted for Hilary in the primaries. So let me get this correct. According to you, because I'm voting for Obama it's only because he's black and I'm a racist but I wasn't racist when I voted for Hilary who is white? I don't get it. True, there's going to be a great number of people that vote for Obama because he's black but I find it totally unfair and again, idiotic, of you to say that 98% of people will vote for him because of that reason. Could it be that 98% of Obama supporters are fed up with the current administration and want a change regardless of the color of the candidate's skin? Get a life.

"Hope will save us all" That has got to be one of the sillyest things I ve read yet. ""Hope" will not lower our corporate tax rate, 2nd only to Japan. Hope will not put the brakes on our government spending. McCain."2 year freeze" Hope tried to put everyone in a house of their own, look how that turned out. Republicans may have failed to regulate, but democrats where the ones with their hads in the cookie jar. By that logic, I should be to blame if I leave my house unlocked and someone robs me.These changes require legislation and restraint, on things Obama has never supported.
