    Bush is a member of Al Qaeda, and McCain thinks that that is ok, I'll take Obama over that.

    I am over 50 and this is the worst bunch I have ever seen!

    The Dems have an other flip flopper - do anything to get elected, and the Reps - the Reps, They had better hope they get a young VP.

    Was in the military and don't believe in appeasement, or socialism........

    we have a shattered economy, astronomical fuel prices, a destroyed, paranoid foreign policy, zero social capital in world affairs with other nations, an ongoing unpopular war started on deliberate lies, 22.3 billion stolen outright in cash from the Iraq accounts with who knows as the real figure of what's been stolen or given away in sweetheart contracts to friends, 400,000 individuals on the no fly terrorist list, no public transportation such as in trains, the largest prison population of any country in the world with available data, an airline industry in the toilet, social security in the toilet, fema directed by a political appointee horse breeder takes days to just get water to the superdome, and a congress more worried about gay marriage than national health care .....i am afraid friend that if obama is a socialist, that's fine with me....
    sorry

    Sorry to hear that! I just can't stomach an other Jimmy Carter be alike: High interst rates, (about 21.5% if I recall, I wasn't into borrowing back then) recognition of Yasser Arafat and the PLO, the fall of the shah-Iran hostage crisis and the birth of Islamofascism, Invasion of Afganistan and the birth of Osama bin Laden, the loss of U.S. stature worldwide.

    I am sure if I thought long and hard I could come up with al lot more, whitehouse blowjobs, failed attempt to appease North Korea and their bomb, and a Congress controlled by Dem for ever.

    Reps aren't much better either, trickle down econ, tax cuts for the rich and famous. And so the list goes on!

    I just don't go for the smoke and mirrors Obamas' spin doctors put on his and his wifes NEW Image. For the first time I am proud to be an American!

    I come from the same place most every-one else in this country comes from with the exception of the Indians and Latinos, which is old Europe, Russia, etc. the only difference being they came from the west - got here sooner and I have always been proud to be an American.



    We might be paying higher fuel preices, but we didn't have to wait in line every other day

    Froley I have always said we could do better by just picking names out of the phone book than the crooks and do-nothings who protect their turf at all costs.

    It was Republican sleeze machine at it's best. CA had an election where Arnold did not participate. Davis won. THEN after they lost the election fair and square, the Rs slipped in the back door, not having to spend campaign cash, instead they pulled another one of their coup d'etats. Mind you not many shed tears over Davis' leaving, but the assault on the democratic process was severe.

    I think I still have the sample ballot from that "recall" fiasco. I went through all...what..130? candidates and picked out a few of the more interesting professions listed. "Adult Entertainer". "Sumo Wrestler". "Psychologist/Farmer". "Used Car Dealer". Oh, the fun!

    Being in such a largely populate state you have more of a choice. Here we get one or the other......

    I don't vote a party line and I even had a protest vote in there some where for Prez.

    We have a senator who was hooked in with countrywide and slid out of that one.

    But it's the same old same old. They say they are going to do one thing untill elected and then the flip.

    We have 2 Dem senators and 1/2 the time they can't agree.
