What to Watch For

maveric maveric maveric....vote like a maveric would.

Check out factcheck.org. Obama may be overly hopeful in the programs he'd like to implement, but McCain and Palin are just straight up liars!! I'd rather have a dreamer for a president than those lying, deceitful, hateful people. Also, for those who are hearing on the radio that Blacks are voting for Obama because he is Black, check out talk shows like Tom Joyner, Michael Baisden and Russ Parr. There, you can hear people saying exactly why they are or are not voting for Obama. NO ONE is just voting for him because he is Black. If that were true, we'd have voted for Keyes!

Take a breath America:
And quit painting a monkey suit on the party you oppose for just one moment.
If McCain wins we all be fine. If Obama wins we will all also be fine. This isn't a pollyanna attitude -- its a fact. The world did not end when Reagan won, one Clinton won, or when Bush(s) won.

The comments below that continue fear mongering/rumors from and about both parties (below) are just plain silly. America is a country of Reason and Ideals. Not fear. Try voting (and writing) with that in mind.

MAVERIC MAVERIC MAVERIC.. VOTE LIKE A MAVERIC

If all the statements and assumptions about Obama were true, then why has progressed as far as today? People let others form their opinions for them and accept it as truth. There are alot of things wrong with our country but, there are also things that can be improved upon. Today, it is our responsibility to decide who will give us what is necessary to improve our lives or keep us where we are. I am not a lifelong Democrat but, I voted for Obama because for once I had a choice of a person of color who can relate to the majority of this country. Someone who came from a similar background and learned the appreciate the principles and values instilled by the elders of his family. Someone who knows what it means to truly fight for the things you want in life in this country. Democrats more readily address domestic issues and do more for those at "home". John McCain stated in the last debate that what Obama was offering was "class warfare"; that quote in its self tells you what the Republicans think of the rest of the country. That to me defined their guiding principles and philosophy more than anything else. They're all about themselves more than any other group in America. I want someone who is going to represent this country and its people; not the "elitist".

Sorry, not ready for a black president. However, if Obama is elected, it'll be time to end the boo hooing about blacks being minorities and racial bull thats been going on since the abolishment of slavery. If Obama is elected as president of the United States - then there must be an end to minority benefits given to black individuals. It's well overdue for blacks to stand up and be accounted for in equality as white americans have had no choice but to endure since the beginning of time and watch as society gives the minorities and immigrants the benefits and help that white individuals cannot get, simply because of race, status and count.

Obama is a elequent orator able to suck in the uneducated masses with his fine words. McCain is not skilled in such a manner. He has been forced to use his campaign in a way to try and bring Americans out from under the "thrall" of Obama's fancy words. Which is all they are. Words. He has no experience to back them up. If Obama wins today, his voters are in for a rude awakening. He will take this country down the slippery road to socialism and that's not what we really want.

By the way, ThinkingBeing, trickle down economy worked exactly how Regan predicted. The fruition of his plan came about during Clinton's administration and credit was improperly given. You might want to do a little more research on the topic.

The truth is my values for myself are probably as high as anyone else sets for them self. I don't consider my opinion to be germane to decisions other people have to make. That is if a "naive" women wants to get an abortion her decision is based on many things. What those things are are A) none of my business and B) the only things that matter to that individual. People who want to marry should be allowed to make that decision based on what they feel is right. Would we lower taxes for people who want to marry a person of the same sex. It's not about religion a marriage license is a civil, town/state issued license that all people who pay taxes should have a right to obtain, who they marry is not any one's business.

The thing is that everyone that has christian values has that right but those who do not have christian values has the same rights. I don't understand why this would even be questioned. Why do people think it's any of their business what someone else does? That is especially true when it is something as intimate as sexual behavior and between a doctor and their patient. Anything that is between them and God is between them and God and again should not be interfered with by those whose "morals" don't mesh. After all it is God who will judge and all will agree that he is just.
