I don’t agree with what they write but I will die defending their right to write it.

McCain has served this country, Obama has served himself. When it gets down to it I will vote for the one who has at least a few of the same philosophies as I (Obama and i do not agree on anything politically) and he is for murdering babies even if they are born alive. McCain would never do that and neither would Palin.

Out of curiosity, why would I change my partisan ways? I guess you expect me to be in the middle and not have positions on issues. It does not work that way. I am conservative and have partisan viewpoints. I do not espouse the mental disorder that is liberalism.

Why don’t you go complain to the folks at Daily Kos. They are non partisan /sarc

Or is it because they are liberals so they are correct, progressive and right in the middle? Get real.

If you had bothered to read anything I have written I have put the blame on both parties. Time and again I said there was enough blame to go around. It is the Democrats (Nancy Pelosi) who said they had nothing to do with it. It is Obambi who said it is the failed policies of the last 8 years. They are all putting it on Bush when there are many players. Fact is, Democrats started the mess and they continued to defend it. Watch the video in the sidebar and you will see them defending it and crying racism.

I have plenty of plans to solve problems. I have better health care ideas than either one but then again that is my profession. I am interested in solving problems (once again, read) but I don’t believe Obama is the solution. I don’t think McCain is the answer but I align with some of his beliefs and none of Obama’s. I will never vote for Communism.

We have to defend ourselves against tyrannical government. It is our duty.

Liddy does not have to repent, he served his time. He paid so why does he need to be repentant?

The rest is conjecture and opinion. All are entitled. We will see how things turn out regardless of who wins. I would not want to see an Obama as president but if he wins then we can finally get rid of jackson, Sharpton and the NAACP because things are now equal. We will also get to see how things go and if they are screwed up you all won’t have Bush to blame. BTW, the financial crisis is largely due to Democrats blocking tighter control Bush called for on 17 Occasions.

The Dems, including The One were lining their pockets. Obama has a paper thin resume and little experience, even his running mate said so.

Actually that’s a meme, it’s just funny. Kinda like calling Obama “the one.”

As for Liddy, yeah he went to jail but he is still unrepentant, and more recently has called for shooting FBI agents and defending yourself from the government. If that’s not inciting violence against the federal government I don’t know what is. Still, my point in bringing Liddy up was not to argue about whether this one, or that one is a worst association, but rather than these things are just noise and should be ignored.

As for being duped by Obama nad ending up eating cat food, I think most people are at the point of eating cat food and dog food thanks to your party’s president these last 8 yrs.

You say the media has not vetted Obama, but Republicans, let me say again, republicans who served with him on the board (where Ayers also served) say that Obama was not closer to Ayers than anyone else, and in fact frustrated liberals in the board because of his pragmatism. They also say that this facination with the Obama Ayers connection is nonsensical and dumb b/c Ayers has served on boards with both republicans and democrats.

As for Ayers not paying for his crimes, he unfortunately got off due to illegal wiretapping and other activities engaged in by the prosecution which got the case thrown out. That’s our legal system.

Yes, we survived 8 yrs of Bush Jr., if only barely.

Finally, on Bush and McCain being the same, I’m talking about policies, which Sen. McCain is proposing and defending, that the last administration put forth. That’s what makes him the same. If Sen. McCain had run on his 2000 platform, I would probably be more inclined to vote for him, because back then, he made sense. Now, he just sounds like a rehashed version of Bush Jr. He’s abandoned his opposition to many of Bush’s policies and embraced them wholeheartedly, that’s what makes him the same.

As for Obama being the same as Carter, I doubt it. Carter was a fool. Obama is more like Bill Clinton, and despite my disagreements with him, and the many things I think he did wrong, at the end of his 8 yrs, the country was far better off than it was when he came into office, which is something that can never be said of George W. Bush. Had a republican stood up and repudiated Bush’s policies and record, he would be in a better position to win, not only independents but also some democrats. However, Sen. McCain, rather than focus on the issues, has tried to drag the campaign to the mud repeatedly. I mean, when the secret service is investigating people at your campaign rallies for screaming that Obama is a terrorist, or saying he should be killed, and you do nothing to put an end to that, that says a lot about your character, or lack thereof.

Liddy went to jail for breaking and entering for 20 years because he refused to rat anyone out (you get less for murder). The point is, he paid his price. Ayers never did.

Obama has voted with the libs 97% of the time. They all vote with their parties, big deal. How does that equate to 4 more years of the same? Obama will be 4 more years of Carter, so what is the point?

I doubt you ever had an open mind by your nickname. It is not people like me who turn you off, it is your inability to look at the facts. just because someone says it has been disproven does not mean it is so. The media has not fully vetted Obama. He is the affirmative action candidate.

Vote for him if you like. We can survive 4 years of anyone. I only hope that the people who are duped into voting for him are eating cat food when things go really bad. His presidency will be so bad America will vote a true conservative in next time and the next black guy will get a real close look. I am not saying it is right but that will be the mindset, been there, done that.

As for associating McCain with Bush, well, that is simple, Bush has been president for the last 8 years. Sen. McCain though initially opposing Dubya on many issues, in order to win the nomination in the Republican party, essentially flip flopped on these and sided with President Bush at least 90% of the time, as such, he is at least 90% like President Bush in terms of beliefs and policy prescriptions. He at first, back when many of us believed in him, opposed the tax cuts (first time in a time of war), the president prescribed and called them irresponsible and dangerous, he warned of the deficits which we are now sadled with, and also called them patently unfair b/c they ent overhelmingly to the rich. More recently, however, he has not only backed those tax cuts, but he has proposed new ones, similarly tilted to the richest in our country, the same ppl who brought us the greed that led to the Wall Street collapse, and has said little about the middle class.

And as for being a democrat, I’m not, I’m an independent. I think both parties are full of idiots, however, i get even sicker of hearing partisan hacks bring up stuff that has already been reviewed and found to be, to put it kindly, a stretch of the truth.

Thanks to stuff like this coming from ppl like you, I’m more inclined to vote for Sen. Obama, if only to send a message to all politicians that the politics of destruction, of tearing others down and questioning their patriotism must stop.

I don’t like Sen. Obama, in fact, I think his VP is far more qualified to be president, but at least when he chose him, he looked to try to demonstrate to Americans that he could make responsible choices and had the best interests of the country at heart. This, unfortunately with Sen. McCain was not the case. He chose Gov. Palin, a person, who although admirable in many ways, has little to no experience thinking about the issues that affect us nationally, or globally. I mean, even Karl Rove, and many other conservatives didn’t think so. karl, being a good tool defended her by saying “she was the mayor of the second biggest town in Alaska and governor for 2 yrs” Yet when asked about Tim Kaine as a VP choice for Obama, he said, Tim Kaine was only the mayor of Richmond, which is not that big (about 20 x bigger than Wasila), and he’s been governor for less than 3 yrs. If Sen. Obama picked him, he would send the message to Americans that he was not thinking about the best thing for our country, but playing politics. I mean, karl rove’s double standard was amazing, as is yours. I guess you have something in common; you make good tools.

Here, I’ll end up choosing the lesser of two evils, and so far that’s been Sen. Obama, who although less experienced that Sen. Mccain has shown himself to be a thoughful person and on both debates so far.

As for burning American flags, I never have, and instead have raised it. Also, I voted for Bush in 2000, but against him in 2004 once it became clear that he had not learned any lessons from his first 4 rys in office, oh, and I’m also from a swing state, so my vote will count, and so far, all this negative bs is turning me away from Sen. McCain. So, if that was your purpose, good job.
