McCain will be 72 years old on August 29th and he is no different then Bush with his disasterous policies that have made our country in to the mess that it is in now.

Get to the polls and vote for Barack Obama in November! I am getting fired up now, the Democrats need to unite and we need to get a win in November! My father, who was a great football coach and a Democrat, always had his teams motivated to play hard in the 4th quarter. Football games, and elections, are won in the 4th quarter.

We don't need 100 more years of war, 100 more years of economic recession, 100 more years of a health care and education crisis, and 100 more years of the same old Bush-like policies.

Future generations want to live in a world of peace and not fear, a world of happyness and not hate, and in a world that values people more then it values money. The Democrats value people, and the Republicans value money. The Democrats are the party of the people.

VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA AND LETS GET A DEMOCRAT WIN IN NOVEMBER!

Barack can't announce his VP yet because the first 5 on his list have turned him down (well actually 4 turned him down, one was crossed off after banging an aide while his wife was nursing breast cancer). No one wants to hitch their wagon to a loser, and yes my friends, Obama is a loser.

Hillary will not play second fiddle to Obama, nor should she. Barrack stole states from Hillary. Luckily Barrack does still not have enough delegates for the nomination. Hillary's name will be in nomination at the convention and a roll call vote will be taken. Barrack has now fallen behind McCain in the polls. Only Hillary at the top of the ticket will work. Delegates are now switching from Obama back to Hillary.

NObama!!!

I am concerned that Obama will be weak on national security and he will raise taxes sending our fragile economy into a tailspin. Unfortunately, Hillary is even less experienced. Being married to the Prez is not experience. Do you want your surgeon's wife to perform an operation on you?

I need to put my family and country ahead of my party. At this point, I plan on voting for John McCain.

There's always 2012!

You live in Illinois and Chicago to boot? What have these democrats done for anyone in Illinois, after Daley's town hall meeting last night, I knew what was coming. He said he may even cut the police department. As of 2 weeks ago we had 7126 police on the street. Of course one was shot this week by a felon. Which by the way if we could identify what color these criminals are, maybe we could catch them sooner. But thanks to Obama and his antiprofiling, we can not give a description (color wise) of anyone who commits a crime. When the 5 woman were murdered in the Lane Bryant store, could they not of told us? This is why he is still at large and has probably killed again. Sick of these liberal loonies, protect the citizens, not the criminals.

I get so angry when someone makes a statement that Obama is weak on national security. Having an 8 yr old on the no fly list and almost a million people on that list does that make you feel safer at night? The Dems wants security that is smarter starting with putting people in the jobs that they are qualified for not how it is under this administration.

The Dems need to nominate Hilldog if they want a chance, thankfully they WON'T!!!
In a sharp turnaround, Republican John McCain has opened a 5-point lead on Democrat Barack Obama in the U.S. presidential race and is seen as a stronger manager of the economy, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday. McCain leads Obama among likely U.S. voters by 46 percent to 41 percent, wiping out Obama's solid 7-point advantage in July and taking his first lead in the monthly Reuters/Zogby poll

And we certainly don't need four years of Barack Obama who has no experience that would deem him capable of leading this nation on a global stage.

What has he done as a senator? Run for president, and that's about it.

He looks great and can read speeches others have written for him pretty well, but I wouldn't trust him further than I can spit.

One can tell a man by the company he keeps, and Obama has kept company with terrible racists.

Who really cares. He has been riding this horse so long no one is even interested anymore. You don't see McCain acting so overboard on the theatrics, oh, that's right he is not the celebrity. By the time Obam finally makes his decision everyone will be on to other things. Like waiting for Hillary to make her move. Give it up already Obam.

Come on, Obama, 08!

American wants and needs a second civil war to clear out the deadbeats living large on welfare, illegal aliens and liberals. You are just the man to provoke the rest of America to take up arms against you socialist ideas and finally, fight back.
