That's a knock against him if you ask me.

(not saying this is Obama, but the antichrist would be liked by all)

I'm voting against the pig and the fish. Though both sure are yummy on a plate.

Is it me or have the last few presidential elections come down to trying to pick the lesser of two evils? I dont know which way to go on this one.

Just this whole terrorist, not an-american, hates our country bs from the right really irritates me. I didn't mind the Kerry is a flip-flopper deal so much. This just seems like a low-blow.

I guess it's too much to ask the candidates to stick to the issues when the people clearly cannot.

Everyone hates the propaganda machine but it obviously works when you see people buying in to the stupidest shit.

I will keep this short and sweet.

If I still believed that our role and involvement in Iraq was necessary and we needed a strong Commander in Chief then I would be voting for McCain.

Right now America is in more debt that it ever has been, the value of the dollar is down, and the economy sucks (not to mention the value of my mutual funds). I am voting for Obama to get us out of this mess.

Fact: according to Ali Velshi of CNN "The economy is the strongest with a Democratic president and a Republican Congress"

There's nothing wrong with being liked by your allies. I'm not saying we should take our cues from them but I am stating the obvious. It helps if the people we're dealing with have confidence in our leadership if you feel otherwise you're a sticks only person. If you still don't get it I recommend you read " The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People."

Covey is good stuff. You ever read anything from Ken Blanchard? I'm a big fan of both.

But we're likely to have a Democratic congress, no? So should we then have a Republican President?

Well your saying because they like Obama its because they feel they will have covidence in his leadership. It could be just the opposite and they think they can get more stuff over on him then McCain.

He actually stud up for her when she got attacked by a woman by praising her and saying she might be more qualified and would have been better choice. You know what McCain did when she got called a "bitch?"

Since we've already suffered through 8 years of a President who was hated all around the world, it might not be a bad idea to go in the other direction.

It never seems to occurr to people that foreigners don't really want America to succeed. It's like asking me who the Cowboys should hire as their HC. I'd say, "Les Steckel!" or "Gerry Faust!" The difference is, of course, that not even Cowboy fans are stupid enough to make the opinion of an oppossing or disinterested party an argument in favor of anyone.

Let's everyone finish these two sentences:

"If Europeans are so good at judging political leaders, then how come..."

and

"The reason that Hamas wants Baraq Obama to be President is..."
