    This is America, so sorry for the rest of you people of the world, but I only vote for those who have This country's best interest at heart! As a nation we are doomed unless we put strong leaders in office who will steer us back to basics such as fair taxes, sanctions of businesses that out-source our jobs, jail time for elected officials that misuse their power. Until runaway government spending is brought to a halt our once great nation will continue to decline until we fade into third-world nation status! Come on AMERICA vote across party lines and try to seat the good, hard working men and women that can make a difference to all of us. Don't vote Democrat or Republican vote for the LEADERS within each party

    The socialist party is laughing off the alligations of Obama being a socialist, as well as being irritated by the misrepresentation.

    The Book of Revelation.
    In the book of revelation it is spoken about a carismatic leader that will rule the world's biggest empire an lead the world into Armagedon, the war of wars, and he will exploit his regin of this empire to destroy the world. it seems like obama though muslims, manages to sweep the american crowd by his powerfull carisma.
    don't be fooled by him , you can change the destiny.

    Obama reminds me of a guy I met in Orlando many years ago. He told me that he appreciated how hard I worked for my family, that I deserved to reap the rewards of my hard work, that I owed it to my family to change and do the right thing and take the necessary steps to secure my family's future. Well, that guy was trying to sell me a timeshare and I can't help feeling like this is the same. I am feeling a bit hustled by this man. He is just like that fresh faced, childless, unmarried, non-homeowning boy from Orlando who had no experience or perspective but he talked a good game, almost made me want something I didn't need.

    You see, I believe that our economy will recover regardless of who becomes our next president. So with that in mind, I would rather vote for a man who has always put his country first and served it well; who is willing to defend and support our troops all over the world, who is experienced and understands global international relations to see us through this crisis and into the future. I will be voting for John McCain today.

    I am online today first thing in the morning with so much enthusiasm I can hardly contain myself. I am a first time vote at age 21 this year and I am so exciting about this race and voting on all my local ballot questions and for Obama. Myself along with an underestimated number of young voters are going to decide this vote, we are all so exuberant this election. Myself along with every other young person and usual non-voters are speaking today; loud and clear. My thoughts and prayers go out to Obama today in election as well as in requards to his personal loss. If I could shake his hand right now I would tell him that he has inspired myself and many others and that we are all ready.

    Obama can you say socialist?

    Only an idiot would believe all the fixed news media about the Middle East anyway. Those people are people like everyone else. Alot of people would be shocked to know who the real terrorists are.

    VOTERS BEWARE
    For all who have voted or will vote for Obama today ,as the saying goes, "Be careful for what you wish for because you just might get it" . Obama will strip us of our freedom and right to choose, we will be handed what the feels is best - the need for big government and sharing the wealth will come back to bite you in the backside... beware of what you ask for...

    Where not going to change how iraq lives or how they believe no matter how hard we try. How would you like if someone came into your house and told you to believe or live a diffrent way. Keeping our trops there is not going to help we are just going to add to our body count. Why aren't we after the real terroist who caused the bombings after all this is about terror and not about oil.

    A vote for Obama is a vote in the right direction. Do any of you re-read your comments before posting? I had no idea there were so many illiterate people out there - and all of you graduated high school BEFORE no child left behind was implemented. George Bush's policies have been bad for our country, bad for our morale and terrible for our children "being left behind". There has been no funding for schools - why? There is no money left after we pay for our war in Iraq. We're wracking up billions of dollars of debt in a war that we will never win - and China owns most of it - when they say, "Pay up" what are we going to do? At least Obama has a feasible plan - and he's not saying, "I can fix this tomorrow" - he knows it's going to take a very long time to make this work. I only hope the American people give him the time he needs to pull us out of this hole George Bush dug for us. I voted for Bush the first time around, I am independent and am getting more conservative as I get older, but I can see what he's done in his 8 years - and also what he hasn't done. Obama is in touch with the average man where Bush has NEVER been, nor is McCain.

    She has never let setbacks stop her. When our health care reforms didn't pass in the 90's, she rolled up her sleeves and got right back to work on the Children's Health Insurance Program, which insures six million kids in America today.

    That's Hillary, the best combination of heart and mind, of leadership ability and feel for the problems of other people I've ever known. She's also our best candidate to beat the Republicans for one reason: because she would make the best president. She's got great plans for universal health care, good jobs, access to college, ending the war in Iraq, and restoring America's position in the world; and she's been tested in the kind of campaign they always run
    Writen in the Times almost 1 year ago today- - IRegertz- I guess this began my support for Hillery, maybe in hindsight your right & she was more of a supporter of government
    involement then she let on- but I guess its about "GETTING THE VOTES".
    Moving on- I am going to the polls after work ,at this point leaning toward the Donkey, hoping Im not the jackass

    Bob you are correct black are voting for Obama because he is black and the younger voting generation is voting for him because he is "young and cool". The real issues are not important to the majority of Obama's voters.

  • Posted By: rocknroll74 @ 11/04/2008 5:32:23 AM

    Obama is clearly the right choice over McCain. I personally cannot understand why anybody would vote for McCain in the first place. I haven't heard him say hardly anything as to what he would actually do for our country; the man has no agenda, save for making up false accusations about Obama. Do we really need schoolyard politics? Did we ever?
    McCain may have more political experience, but that does not mean he would make better decisions. His campaign is run by corporate lobbyists, for crying out loud! That tells me all I need to know about the man. Sure he is a veteran who was captured and tortured for five years; I get it, but that does not mean he will make good decisions for America. Look at the man's voting record in the Senate and you will see that he has consistently made the WRONG decisions for America.

      I will drink to that!! He voted with the one man who shouldn't have been elected in 2000 nor 2004 approx. 95% of the time; What does that tell us? We need change so badly, I am so sick of the way things are run in Washington! After the 9/11 attack, all planes were grounded with the exception of the jet that carried Bin Laden's family out of Miami to safety. That's rich...........hmmmm, I wonder WHY? I am tired of all the garbage. We NEED CHANGE in the WORST way possible!!!!!!!!!!

        Remember that Gore lost his home state of Tennessee in 2000. If he only could have carried it. Hum, Nope Bush is President. Look out it's 3 degrees warmer today, global warming.

    Scope go suck an egg. So much for unbiased, liberal media, reporting. Just like OJ Simpson blacks will simply back Obama for him being black. Lets just tell it how it is instead of this poor boy roots, and fighter against the system crap. He's a politician and played you like a fiddle.

  • Posted By: Blogga @ 11/04/2008 7:09:20 AM

    Obama to win not because we (the rest of the world ) see America and Americans as insular but because we are beginning to see that America is indeed ready for change. I being a black caribbean male living in the United Kingdom and having lived and worked in the US did at one point conclude that America was more ready for a Woman (Hillary) President that it was for a Black (Obama) President. But you the good people of America showed me otherwise. I do hope you all go out and vote on the ISSUES. Barrack I believe can return America to being the Great Nation that we all believed in. Truly, Land of the Free and Home of the Brave!!!
