To those still fighting the party war, Party is the madness of many for the gain of a few. If you really care about the USA perhaps it is time to put the fabled “ NONE OF THE ABOVE “slot on your ballot. Mc Cain is between a rock and a hard place ( squeeze play ) Obama does not have a clue. God help us the BAILOUT went through.

USA and The Constitution is under attack, by those sworn to uphold it. Representative vote was totally ignored by members of Congress -

Maybe it's not so much tries as it is lies. Do they really think the American public want to elect a bunch who are such liars and character assassins?

If McCain would not have supported the party line in the last eight years, and would have called out the Bush administration during this election and shown us how he would be different instead of the same he would have had a better chance. Of course he wouldn't have gotten the nomination.

We’ll see how the process goes in a few weeks. If Obama can garner enough constitutional electoral votes to win, he will be my president because I think the will of the People trumps who I want as president. Will those on the left be willing to say the same of McCain if Obama doesn’t win?

That depends on the nature of McCain's administration. If he fails to live up to all the 'maverick' bluster, you bet I'm gonna call him on it. I doubt you'll be giving Obama a free pass. -

I'm not. Never in my life have I distrusted a group as much as these current CONS. No. I will never believe the American people are that stupid. Not with the mess we're in. -

After the Scam Bailout of 850 billion, do you really think we can afford Obama and his "Pipe Dreams? It is sorry to say but damage control is the name of the game. Except it is no game. You are talking about not only your future but the future of your children.

WILL you make the same mistake?For those too young to know or remember. Change for the sake of change is seldom for the better. 1975-76 the U.S. was in turmoil, and people were demanding change. An obscure young man with good credentials(exceptional credentials compared to the aspirants today). 1977, President Carter inherited an economy that was slowly emerging from a recession. After four years of the Carter presidency, both inflation and unemployment were worse than at the time of his inauguration. The annual inflation rate rose from 4.8% in 1976 to 6.8% in 1977, 9% in 1978, 11% in 1979, and hovered around 12% at the time of the 1980 election. Carter had pledged to eliminate federal deficits, the deficit 1979 $27.7 billion, 1980 was nearly $59 billion. Inflation(11-12 percent), and skyrocketing interest rates(21.5 percent). July 1980, Carter received a favorable rating of only 21% in the Gallup Poll. That was the lowest rating any president, including Richard Nixon at the time of his resignation, had received since polling began in 1936.This not to mention the devastated military preparedness and income tax rates. Do we need to re-live this in 2008-2012? -

I don't know how I will feel. After Bush won his second term I was devastated. I saw the handwriting on the wall and knew where this country was headed, unfortunately I was right. I would give McCain a chance but Palin scares me. I don't want her anywhere near the oval office.

Slate asks: Will those on the left be willing to say the same of McCain if Obama doesn’t win ".

Your expression of solidarity with the (potential) result,
is an example of patriotism that I would hope we would all emulate.
McCain has the ability to be a good president; although I would dread a Reagan-era-like internal struggle among his advisers and lobbyists.
On the other hand, I don't want any american to have too much loyalty to the president.
I worry that the US is falling into an Empirial Presidency; people talk like the candidates are running for Caesar, not the head of 1 branch of a multi-branch federal government designed to serve us and keep out of the way.
I intend to be a very serious critic of an Obama Administration

I think Palin can be thanked for the slight jump in the polls. Whey the hell they are letting her go around saying things like Obama pals around with terrorists and doesn't like America is beyond me. The only people who see anything in her are the hard core cons on this board. In other words, Obama might be wise to help with her travel expenses, the more places she speaks at the better his team looks.

Palin has been all the news. It's like their campaign is in shambles. What happened to McCain after he ran back to DC?
Reply
Rove trainee: We need to get her (Palin) out there. The hardcore CONS love her. Let's get her out there
Rove trainee 2: What is she going to say? She has problems when we let her answer questions.
Rove trainee: No questions. She just slings mud from now on.
Rove trainee 2: Will it work?
Rove trainee: Dunno, let's see. -

Not quite sure if you've been paying much attention to reality these days or not but Obama does in fact have a history of dealing with terrorist. Have you heard of Ayers at all? If not, I highly recommend you look it up and educate yourself. Not to mention the radical church he was a member of for years and would have continued to be a member of if it hadn't affected his campaign. Call me crazy but I'm not inclined to trust a man who runs in circles of those who HATE AMERICA. Somehow, a person such as him does seem very American nor does he seem as someone who has her best insterest at hear or mind.

Further investigation by ABC and other sources reveals that Sarah was not exactly honest in all her replies during the debate. She appears to be as accomplished a liar as McCain, Bush, and Cheney.
Reply
Yup. Repukes sure picked the right person.
Some in Alaska love her, others can't wait to throw her out in the next election.-

An accomplished liar gets people to believe what they are saying. Outside the hardened conservative, no one believes Mayoor Moose.

An accomplished liar would be our current congress and the bailout. I have not heard one economist state that the common man will benefit from that money. They have said that it was a tax increase in sheeps clothing.

I base my decision on the economy, the currency market, and the National Debt. Under Reagan, Bush Sr., and Bush Jr., the dollar tanked, the economy was weak, and the National Debt exploded. Under Clinton, the reverse happened. As far as people being worried about an increase in taxes, intelligent people know how to get around that.

I have no doubt that potential voters are more favorable to Obama than McBush in the swing states, now. But, as far as I'm concerned, the only poll that counts is the one after all the votes have been counted. Obama needs to stay on message and let the McBush/Palin team implode. The media is no longer buying in to their constant stream of lies and are now questioning their veracity in their campaign speeches and ads.

Where ever in America, this economy is going to reach you. The reality of feeling like you are in a Great Depression, even if we aren't will make the choice for Obama clear. That's what we are seeing for his increased support. Georgia and surrounding states are going through 'no gas' at the pumps. That is infrastructure and planning, where we need someone to clean house, which favors Obama. Prices for crude dropped without drilling, well speculation wins over supply, remember McCain's stance? What ever state you vote, vote to correct these things and not the past,that's where 'W' got on. We need change, vote for change.

Yesterday in San Francisco, this Republican VP idiot called Afghanistan "our neighboring country". And the top of the ticket, McCain who has lost all his bearings, said Iraq shares its border with Pakistan.
Reply
The lipstick also said that she congratulates troops in Afghanistan for fighting to establish DEMOCRACY? Whatever happened to finding Osama? Only last week, the top British commander in Afghanistan said there can be no military solution in Afghanistan. No wonder, the idiot candidate for VP could not come up with the name of a newspaper.
How stupid can someone be and how "super" stupid can be the people who go to her dumb rallies, cheer and will vote for her? -

I talked to a guy who just got back from being in Russia. He had a Russian interpreter with him all the time and she asked this guy "didn't the Americans learn from the USSR fiasco in Afghanistan which resulted in the USSR going broke?" "The whole agenda of the Arabs is to destroy the econmomies of their enemies." "Didn't the U.S. see what happened to the USSR?"
Reply
Bin Laden knows that he doesn't have the firepower to defeat America's military. That's a no-brainer. All he wants to do is destroy the U.S. economy. There is no need for al Qaeda to attack in the U.S. again. They accomplished what they were trying to do.
