McCain names VP pick (Read 1538 times)

I vote by feel.

Idiot. I'm voting based on this thread.

I have tears in my eyes. Thank you.

Wow. You sure you want to talk about houses. Most Americans don't run around with convicted billionaires who finance their million dollar homes or buy the lot attached to it for them so they can get it for 1/3 of the price. Most Americans never associate with people who set off bombs in our nations capital and NEVER admits to believing it was wrong. Most Americans don't sit under spiritual leaders that preach "GD America" for 20 YEARS. Most Americans don't want their goverment officials to vote present 130 TIMES and not either Yes or No to the issues that they face EVERY DAY. Most Americans don't know that his Economic Policies were just combined into a proposal which was voted down 99-0...even Obama himself VOTED against his own bill. Or the fact he will not release his state records b/c the fear of accepting earmarks and the pork he recieved will cast a bad light on him...there is a TON of stuff we DON'T Know...and NOONE beside Hillary and Bill in the Democratic Party has asked why? It is truly sad.

- The guy in question had not been convicted of a crime when Obama purchased the house, nor is there anything criminal about being a billionaire (not sure what you meant by "convicted billionaire"). - If you're referring to Al Qaeda, no Obama doesn't want to associate with them, he wants to actually go after them (something W has failed to do, even to the point of claiming that capturing Usama was not important). If you're referring to Muslim countries (or any country who doesn't share our customs) then I am looking forward to having a leader who is willing to sit down and discuss differences instead of giving no options other than war. The reason the majority of the world hates America is because of our arrogant, imperialistic actions like refusing to talk to those who disagree with us. The sad thing is how many republicans simply cannot understand that all Muslims are not terrorists. - Do you agree with every single thing your spiritual advisor has ever said? I didn't think so. No one is perfect and Obama denounced Rev. Wright's views on multiple occasions so I'm not sure why you're still hung up on that. Just for the record that was a recent sermon, not one he's been preaching over and over for 20 years as your accusation implies. - The 130 votes you're referring to occurred in the Illinois state senate to be specific and that was out of a total of more than 4000 votes, or 3.25%. Further, that small percentage of his votes were intended to raise legal and/or constitutional objections to the way those bills were written. It's a common practice in Illinois to use that method of objection rather than vote yes or no which implies you agree with how the bill was written. - The bill you're referring to was not a bill nor did it "just" happen. It was actually an amendment to the budget that occurred 6 months ago. What it really was, was a cheap political game played by a republican senator (Wayne Allard) who wasted taxpayer's time and money that could have been spent passing a balanced budget. Wisely Obama chose to put an end to the waste of time so they could spend time actually passing a budget. Imagine how much better Allard could have spent his time rather than playing political games that did not benefit his constituents in any way. - Obama's state records, including earmark projects he worked on are all publicly available. Not sure where you got your bad information (although I could guess), but they are indeed available. Sorry for the length, but one thing I cannot stand is when lies are spread for political gain and the vast majority of what Obama gets accused of is an outright lie by republicans who will not research before accusing.

I have often noticed how careful and thorough the dems are when they do their research...

None of this is doing it for me, an anarchist. the Republicans are Democrat Lite. Anarchy - the natural way.

Hey Man -- She's a runner -- Tho I'm independent and already planning to vote Democrat after I found out she is a runner, I now have to reconsider.....be damned with qualification --- she can go out for 5 or 6 and get the enforphens going.....she'll be OK......(think Obama is a closet smoker -- YUCH) and I cant believed Biden is a runner - he is on the commuter train too much..... McCain - forget it - he doesnt run.... From a running point of view (which is the only important point of veiw) she is far and again our best candidate.....I think we should all write her in for President....... -or- Maybe we should have a 10 mile race (all 4 of them together) ---- First place --- PRES --- Second Place -- VP........ It would work......
