Sezwho..
Campaigns are not run nor orginized by the candidate---thats run by those he hires to do such things..
His choice for VP was good, but it was a direct oppisite to his campaign of change... Biden has more time in the goverment then McCain
He doesnt seem to have that good of a grasp on the economy, nor does anyone in Washington or else they would curve the spending, and they havent nor has he shown good economical sense in spending 5 million t air a 30 minute commercial, but thats just my opinion. Health care shouldnt be paid by the goverment it should be regulated, last thing we need is goverment controlling what and when I can get health care, but thats my Opinion..
In the end you buy which commercial looks better be it coke or pepsi McCain or Obama.... I picked water myself, cause the others will just rot your teeth and ruin your life...
:)
Mason was a good leader and had people who followed him blindly, that doesnt make him a good president...
Like I said before he has no experience, he doesnt practice what he preaches, and he is just a smooth talker and wont walk the walk, but those who are desperate for change will over look until its too late...
McCain isnt any better...
Thank you for at least trying to put reasons for voting for him..

I didnt generalize at all, but GJDaileult would like to make my statement that... I said Im not voting for anyone who is only a smooth talker... Obama hasnt offered anything that holds water, so why would I vote for him? (I already voted anyways and it wasnt for either of these two)..
I dont buy a car because its painted nice, I want to make sure it is mechanicaly perfect... Just like a president I want someone who has the skill set to do what is needed and for me Obama and McCain both dont have the needed skills and ideas to do the job.. Sorry GJD I dont need another god in my life with promises of salvation, I need a political leader who is going to go to the middle of the line and get what needs to get done, and these two dont have the stuff to do it....
I have a hard time believing a man with an almost one sided voting record is going to do the job properly, believe it or not the left and the right have some good ideas but neither side have them all by themselves...

So everton2 you must be one of the ones who hung Obamas cardboard cutout? Or maybe the other group who hung the effigy involved you? How do you know they hung it for a racial reason and not for a political reason? Do you know if the students had been white what if they had been mexican, black, Asian? Your talking with the typical "if it was a black person that was attacked it had to be a hate crime" BS..
If one group does it for a political reason then you cant say the other group didnt do it for a political reason...
Myself I am part native American but dont have the look of a native, but I have seen allot of blacks, whites, and other races do things that are racist to my ethnic group..But
I wouldnt call a person racist if they do a political statement against an Native American political candidate.
Ive been in Compton and have been insulted by blacks for being not black, so does that mean the blacks are racist? did they do a hate crime? Racism goes both ways its not a one way street you want to paint it as.
If my analogy was patently silly Then your whole statement that if you do a political statement effigy hanging of a black man its automatically racist must be too... Not only is it silly its prejudice and racist in its self...
A hate crime is a crime done to someone based on their race.. An Effigy isnt criminal so therefore cant be a hate crime... Burning a cross is a symbol of racist, but it isnt a hate crime. Calling my uncle a drunk like all indians is racist but its not a hate crime.Kicking him in the head when he falls down drunk yelling stupid indian would be a hate crime... Freedom of speach goes both ways... You cant limit one and not the other race without being racist or prejudice yourself ...
As far as Bush I saw one sign that stated kill the white devil as they burned the effigy.. Does that make it racist? Is that too broad a stroke for you? Racism isnt a black/white thing and isnt just one sided....

Most con artist get what they want because they talk smooth.... I dont vote for someone because they talk smooth. I find most of the smooth talkers are just that all talk...
Barr was a better choice then these two guys...
Hell snoopy would be better then these two...
Im my many years Ive never been so turned off by politics as I am this year, Im afraid that people are looking so hard for change they are not looking at what that change is going to detail... I feel like its a three card monty or the shell game people are falling for...
4.5 days until this crap is over and we can start the down fall of a one party goverment.....
Unless of course Obama isnt elected then we will have a lame President because congress will make it so....
Sad day for American politics.....

Everton then we could say that because the image of McCain is in a display of fire that its a reference to witch burning and that is something whites suffered in the past so it is a severe racist thing? White people have been hung way before a black man ever touched America, to say showing one in a noose is racist and the other isnt is just stupid.. you have to be equal in it or your being racist about it...
Basically it comes down to this, if the Palin one is a political statement then you have to consider the Obama one too, you cant let race be a factor in order to be equal, but to admit that would throw away the use of the race card and Obama loves it having that card up his sleeve...
Joe I have seen arabs, blacks, mexicans, and other countries people hang and burn Bush so does that count as racist? Its a political statement and the color of the political person shouldnt be a factor in a polical statement.

Why is it a racist thing to hand a black mans image and not a racist thing to hang a white persons image? Seems racist to say it is racist one way and not the other.....
Either way the people doing it are just plain idiots fueled by stupidity and/or drugs/booze.. Using the image of a person being killed to represent your dislike for a political person is just sick, and shows ones ignorance of the real world...
White Black green red, it doesnt matter we all came from the same group originally and our color changed do to enviromental reasons.... How can you dislike a color considering we all came from the same cloth...

Yes adaydream and they will do OBL tomorrow to make sure McCain wins.....
By god do you really think that way or do you try to be funny all the time?
SezWHo2.. I said they are harboring, not the terrorist are seeking harbor... So the way I said it is exactly the way I meant it.
They have harbored terrorist in the past, they have created terrorist groups, so based on the history and goverments desire to harbor terrorist I can come to a very firm conclusion they know those terrorist are there..
http://terrorism.about.com/od/statesponsors/p/Syria.htm
I wish diplomatic means worked in this case, but they have failed so many times in the past most are not willing to do them with Syria anymore...
Only answer is getting the US out of all foriegn countries including those we are allies with... Then let them defend or attack who ever they want, cause we dont get paid enough to babysit all these children...

Harbor means to protect and to shield nothing else.... They know they are there and they do not remove them, in fact they consider them an asset....
But Im not in Syria and neither are you so we dont know for a fact they are or are not Harboring them. We also dont know if the target was just across the border killing children and woman,... We assume allot, so for me that includes Syria (which has a history of siding with the rebel causes of the area) is a harboring them and wont rid themselves of them...

Obama stated that if terrorist use locations in other countries to attack other countries of American intrest then we will go after those people in their countries with or without the countries permission......
Seems Bush is just warming up the area for Obama so he can go right in....
:)
Sezwho2.. strange that I didnt address my post to you, but you felt you needed to defend yourself on not looking at all sides.. Hrmmm.. Also I didnt say anyone is blind, its more like they look away from the other side of the story, just like people look away from a homeless guy begging...
If you harbor a criminal in your house knowing he is a criminal then you too become a criminal.... Question we have to ask is does Syria know they harbor such terrorist?
Launching the attack from Syria means just that.. You plan it there, you go from that location, do the attack and scamper back to there. Thats just like launching an attack from a carrier... You leave the carrier, attack you target, and go back to the carrier..
Only way to solve the problem is to get the US out of Iraq, but depending who wins the election we will have only a continuence or a shift of location..
We will still have troops in that area, we will still be going into other countries in our pursuit of terrorist...
So we wont be getting out of any where any time soon...

Seems very simple, if the target had come into Iraq and attacked then Syria and its people attacked first and that would be a sign of Aggresion..
So if the Iraq and US forces go after that target it is a response to the initial attack by the Syria people...
So now is it ok? Or should the Iraq goverment and the US forces let them launch attacks any time they want from Syria? When is it considered an act of war by Syria?
As far as goverment to goverment handling in a diplomatic manner,, come on has that worked in the 5 years the US and Iraq has requested syria to control the large flow of attackers who use their borders? No it hasnt!!
Ever cube has more then one side... Try to look at them all once and awhile..

Dont forget guy one ad in a state cost more then that, and between the two candidates they have spent over a billion dollars on it... That buys a lot more school then 150k for clothes...
I think before we say shame on Palin we should be saying shame on Obama and McCain for spending so much money on stupid hate and lie ads... Obama and his party 750 million McCain and his party 400 million.. seems we forget those numbers too easy....

Once again if you read the real paper and not just an internet rag you would see he only had about 350dollars on him, they took the rest from his ATM card later.... I carry that much everyday just like most in Tokyo..
He got rolled, it happens in every country. Life goes on... Maybe now the Cops will go after the whole wanna be bangers...
Hope he recovers and they get the girl/wanna be bangers...

It has come to the point I just read all the comments and laugh... First of all none of you know what will happen when the new president gets into office.. Either one of them is able to go to war, and both have said they will use force..
My god you would think half of you sleep with the candidates and hear them whispering in your ear all their plans at night... Talk is talk and I doubt either one can or will do any thing they promised, just like the rest of them that we have elected...
Thank you all for making me laugh today on such a horrid day as today is...
Funny as hell.....
Obama will blah blah blah.... McCain will blah blah blah..
Like any of you know what the hell they will or wont do......
