"And So It Begins: Obama vs. McCain"

So it does. What a choice, a floater or a sinker. How come we can't just flush this pair and start over?

The article quotes McCain: "I think he has exercised very bad judgment on national security issues and others." The truth is, Obama had the good judgment to oppose the war in Iraq from the start, and he had the courage to state that opinion even though it was unpopular at the time. McCain, on the other hand, is supporting the foreign policy of an administration that lied to us in order to start an unnecessary way that has cost innocent lives and bankrupted our nation. Enough is enough! Vote for Obama!

"And So It Begins: Obama vs. McCain" .. and perhaps the easier leg of the race. McCain is simply a seriously tarnished brand and utterly the wrong direction for too many Americans, regardless of party affiliation.

Hey, Steve, please move to another state--or better yet, another country. Maybe Norway is white enough for you.

What's a negro? I've heard of minorities, or people of different ethnic backgounds, but what exactly is a negro???? Racist! He's got more brains behind his lightly darker skull, than yours!

It was never for the people of the country that he and his wife despise so much. He was selected as the democrat nomination, he did not win on his own merit.

I agree.
Both are terrible choices.

Awesome defined is causing Awe or Terror. You are correct to describe Obama this way. Thank you for your insight. It is really difficult for some to admit.

Well aren't you the sweet one either a confused Muslim, a Christian questioning his beliefs, or just an ignorant troll. Think I'll vote troll on that one McCainiac troll. Run out of good things to say about your incoherent Dad?

If left up to the above Texas Turd and The Obamanation today Saddam & Sons would be stronger than ever and a future generation of Americans would be handed a fight which belonged to the gutless Obama and the Texas Turd et al.
All Thanks to President GW Bush and The United States Military there is no Saddam & Sons and Iraq has something the self serving dirty diaper democRat Obama would have denied...it's called hope and stability for the region.
The treasonous democRat Party is eager and content to leave the good men, women and children of Iraq for the wolves...if you do not think they would do the same to you and yours...think again.

-Do you stand to inherit over $2,000,000?
-Is most of your income from non-retirement-fund stock dividends?
-Are you an oil company executive or defense contractor?
-Are you gaining wealth by exploiting illegal aliens?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then by all means, vote for McCain. Being broke, his campaign has been forced to embrace Bush economic policy in order to get party support. If elected, we will be seeing a continuation of the current economic trends.

Otherwise, a vote for Obama is in your best interest. His platform is to support a stronger middle class through tax breaks, small business incentives, vocational education, and a higher minimum wage so that Americans no longer have to abandon their jobs to illegal aliens.

Moderate bi-partisan war hero and former POW vs. Far left-wing elitist with no relevant experience.

Tough choice.

Hmmm a pair of designer tongs (flip-flops) or work boots. Easy choice.

I am extremely proud. Proud to the point of being speechless. What gives me so much pride is the fact that Obama and his wife have this sincere, non-compromizing quality that is infectious. His speech was simply human. I cant see how anyone could not have seen the American spirit in him. McCain, to me, seemed very non-American. His focus seemed to be on his party and his supporters, instead of the country. he came off as apathetic. And of course, he was boring as all out doors. Typical McCain character. Hilary….wow. Is she delusional? Very arrogant. Very self-oriented. I was not impressed…At all!
