He talks about correlations between Vietnam and Iraq. Well the Vietnam war was funded by the Kennedy administration (sent US advisor's etc) and was greatly expanded by Johnson (FYI both democrats) Nixon won his first election by saying that he had a strategy for ending the war, namely bombing Hanoi. As I recall, the peace conference of Paris ended the war (officially) until the North invaded shortly after and Saigon fell. Doesn't sound like much of a correlation, but then again democrats never worried much about the facts. Cohen has his facts wrong. He talks about correlations between Vietnam and Iraq.

(but uses fancy wording when speaking to anti-gay groups to make them think he dosen't approve.) MY FELLOW CHRISTIANS YOU CAN'T IGNORE THIS. 3.) ANTI-DRILLING, NUCLEAR ENERGY (which means CONTINUING GAS PRICE INCREASE. Everyone is already and will continue to fill the effects of this.) 4.) HE'S A COMMUNIST. (His beleifs are based in communism. Take money from the rich, succesful workers and give it to the poor people who don't work and want everything handed to them for free.) !!!!THIS WILL BE THE DOWNFALL OF OUR COUNTRY. IF YOU TAKE WEALTHY PEOPLES MONEY AND GIVE IT TO PEOPLE WHO MAKE NOTHING OF THEMSELVES, THERE IS NO DRIVE TO MAKE SOMETHING OF YOURSELF. WHY WORK HARD WHEN YOU CAN GET EVERYTHING FOR FREE!!!!!! 4.) FOR HIGHER TAXES. (He states he will not renew the "BUSH" tax cuts. Which will result in an increase in taxes.) I don't love Mccain, either. He's wrong on some issues. but remember this YOU DON'T VOTE TO GET THE CANDIDATE YOU LIKE IN OFFICE, YOU VOTE TO KEEP RADICALS LIKE OBAMA OUT OF OFFICE. Obama is a joke. Research the facts.

They first tell people universal healthcare will mean everyone gets coverage, right? WRONG!!!

Do you want a religious state, like Iran? Is McCain or Barak running for Pope? In a religious state. Only God will judge those that have abortions. Obama has support from conservative business people, such as JOHN BOGLE - found of Vanguard Funds, PAUL VOLCKER - Ex Fed Res Chairman that beat inflation under his term, and WARREN BUFFETT - wise businessman from Nebraska - these are not nut cases (like you seem to be) and are rock solid Americans that are giving centrist economic advise to Barak.

NOW.... when I was considering either voting for McCain OR staying away from the polls entirely, that choice is taken away from me. McCain's choice of an UNQUALIFIED BIMBO for his V.P. removed that choice. Lots of news people are saying that Palin was chosen to draw disenchanted women voters from the Democratic camp. HEY... I am one of those disenchanted voters... and I am a woman. McCain is not drawing me to his side. McCain INSULTED ME and other intelligent independent women by his choice of Palin. We MUST NOT let this woman represent the United States of America. Once the most powerful nation on earth, if the McCain/Palin ticket wins, we will be the laughing stock of the world.

If you really think about, if that indeed were the case, then it would seem the most qualified person for public office would be Kate of “Jon and Kate Plus Eight” TV show. Or perhaps even another McCain—Carol—who was forced to raise her three children alone while her scum of a husband cheated on her then left her for a younger, richer woman. (I wonder what ever happened to him?) But on a few serious notes: 1) Sorry for misspelling your name. That was due to lack of attention on my part and I apologize. 2) Yes, I am voting for Obama. Not because I am a democrat, which I’m not. I am an independent who voted in his first two elections for Reagan. I vote the person and not the party. I am voting for Obama because I met him many years ago in Chicago back in his community organizer days (Yeah, back before the Republicans began ridiculing those people. I’m sure their worthlessness would be somewhat of a surprise to such community organizers as Martin Luther King, Jr., Gandhi, and Jesus. Not to mention the Republicans of the late 1980s who called community organizers some of the “thousand points of light”). Anyway, I remember watching him in action one day and being incredibly impressed. I left with a conservative friend of mine and after a long, quiet walk home my friend suddenly broke the silence with: “Jesus, why don’t we have someone like him on our side?!” The next time I saw Obama was when he gave that speech at the 2004 Democratic convention. (At the time I blurted out something intelligent like: “Hey! It’s that guy!”) In 1992 and 1996, the Republicans made a big deal about character and how that was important in choosing your leaders. They had a point and I’ve kept that in mind all these years. That’s why I want to ask you about John McCain: Do you trust him? One word I have heard often from people who have known him for many years is “opportunist.” Here is a man who left his wife for a younger, richer woman and it helped his career. He cultivated his “maverick” image for over two decades, fighting hard for his “deep-seated beliefs,” and that too helped his career. But now that he is running for president, all those “deep-seated beliefs” have been dumped and their polar-opposites have taken their place, and it seems that move is helping his career. When John Kerry changed his mind about two or three things, Republicans called him a “flip-flopper.” But here is John McCain who has changed his mind on literally everything he once held dear. I’m not arguing one way or the other about the merits of those beliefs right now: I am concentrating on the character of a man who will apparently change anything as long as he benefits from that change. So which John McCain is running for president? What does he really believe? If he gets to be president, what will he believe then? Or will he change again? Republicans may celebrate his “maverick” image now but after the election they will expect him to toe the line. (Remember, it was the Democrats who titled him a “maverick.” The Republicans always considered him a “loose cannon.”) Do you trust him, Nicole? And if so, which John McCain do you trust? Nicole:

As I see it the rapid decline of Obama's lead in the polls is likely foster a debate as to whether or not this situation may result in a change of his running mate. Will Biden choose to withdraw his VP candidacy and create an opportunity for Obama to recuit Clinton? Would Clinton accept if he did? Would the country view such an action as something offensive and controversial? BIden stepping down may not be as impossible as it sounds. Two data points to consider are that Biden publicly admitted that Clinton would have been a better choice and the Youtube video of Biden at a Union Rally in Pennsylvania was quite revealing as it concerns the behavior and body language exhibited by Obama and his wife when a seemingly tipsy Biden made his introductions. Don't accept my judgement go to Youtube and see it for yourself. In my opinion if Biden were to step down at this point it would grossly underscore serious problems as it concerns Obama and leadership abilities now and in the future. It would also serve notice that Obama is a slick politician willing to take any action to achieve his personal goals. If Hillary wasn't his choice months ago she clearly isn't his choice now and bringing her to the ticket suggests that he isn't the one making the decisions within his campaign and his future administration. This makes me now wonder about his long term relationship with Jerimiah Wright and others. It also makes me wonder about his integrity and his convictions. As far as Clinton is concerned how, or more importantly why, would she degrade herself by joining a ticket as the result of the GOP ticket when she clearly wasn't wanted by Obama to begin with? Can you blame her, after all her campaign was a success by anyones definition? More importantly if Obama were to maintain the ticket as is, and subsequently lost the election, then Clinton would be the most formidable opponent the Democrats could offer should Palin be the next GOP nominee for President. I don't think it would be in the interest of Clinton to consider a subordinate role to Obama at any rate and think the liklehood is marginal if there is one. If the Obama/Biden ticket is modified in any way it will seal the deal this November for McCain/Palin in my opinion. What Happens Next?

Which for those who think it has anything to do with WMDs its actually about filibustering. I also think we need to change to a popular vote the electoral college is now outdated and ridiculous. It is funny though how the democrats loved mccain before he was actually running in the presidential race. They always praised him for going against Bush and other key republicans and now they are trying to compare him to Bush. Seems a little hypocritical. Also if we want to talk about personal lives at least Mccain was not good friends with a terrorist by the name of William Ayers. Everybody has bad things in their lives and everybody makes mistakes. Why do you think Obama quit his church with Jeremiah Wright as the head for political gain. Save some oil use a tire gauge! Drudge2:

What I mean is that there are some people who are choosing Mccain because of his experience. But what these people may not be thinking about is: "WHAT KIND OF A EXPERIENCE?" Shouldn't we question: "What kind of a result would bring us this kind of experience?" If any kind of experience is the best criteria in regard to choose the next president, why Bush with 4 years of governing the country, and having a father as a president, didn't give the people a better life? And I believe that Mccain's experience is based on this kind of partisanship, as he supported Bush policies most of the time. And there's also some people who think that because he's a experienced war man, he's a better choice to win the war. Wouldn't we better off with a president who knows how to win a war without actually going to war? There’s one thing that seems everyone is referring to when it comes to choosing

Elect McCain, and watch your country implode with bickering. You will receive what you asked for. Good luck.

Um, I’m not rich or old (27) and I am voting for McCain. I make less than $30,000 a year and I still believe that the only thing Obama would do for me is lose me my job (I, along with many other blue coller workers work for those businesses that Obama will indirectly shut down).

The two-party system is a SHAM. Both candidates want to increase the size of the military. They're both anti-single-payer healthcare. They're both funded by corporations. They both work for POLITICAL PARTIES, not the American people. They won't increase our embarrassingly low minimum wage. They both unilaterally support Israel's oppression of Palestinians, which is part of what caused those radicals to topple the WTC. Neither of them support significant environmental policy change. They both supported the PATRIOT act and illegal wiretapping/ spying on Americans. They both support our dangerous preemptive/ militaristic foreign policy. They're both incessantly pro-corporation, rather than pro-average American Etc. etc. etc. NOT A CHANCE will either of the business parties get my vote.

If McCain is the answer, then you're asking all the wrong questions. I'm 48 years old and will never see a cent of the Social Security I've paid into all of my life - hope my health holds out so I can work until the day I die. My children and their children's future has been robbed by the Republicans and I'm supposed to vote Bush into a 3rd term (which is what will happen if we elect McCain and what's her name). We hold the future of the world in our hands with this election and if those who decry Obama will just admit it's because he's black, I could respect that. But I can't respect the same rhetoric over and over again as it's been regurgitated by Fox News- it's all about making you afraid of change. Well, 4 more years of this frankly scares the h*ll out of me. Obama has been called an 'elitist' (I guess that means you're raised by a single mother in low income) and the man that supposedly has his campaign on the pulse of the common man is a multi-millionaire who doesn't know how many homes he owns while his wife attends the convention adorned in tens of thousands of dollars worth of clothes and jewels. The latter is how I define 'out of touch' in my neighborhood. For my money (or what's left of it) I'll take Obama any day.
