    Jemethyst post all you want! I have enjoyed reading your posts! I agree with everything you have said!

    Also, the reason Palin brought the father of her daughters baby along is because he was being shot at the the liberal drive-by media every chance that got anyway! They even looked up his MYSPACE PAGE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

    Bidin's son was convicted of assault and you hear nothing about that...why do you think that is??? Hmm...

    Obama is a good speaker Mccain served our country Can we morf them into one person! Its really the lesser of two evils. I do not know anything about Obama but I do know that Mccain stood up and fought for our country. I guess I am voting for McCain because knowing a little bit about someone is better than knowing nothing.

    I believe McCain did indeed choose a female running mate simply to sweep up the stray Clinton voters, and I think it is down right degrading and disgusting.Does he really think so little of the American voters to actually believe that they vote simply based on gender or race, I'm not saying that no one does there are that handful of mush brain halfwits.You can plainly see that with some of the other statements made in a few of the other posts on this page.However to be so confident that all of the American people are so brainless is repulsive. After 8 years of mudslide I know and believe the American people deserve better then to live with another 4 years of disgrace, poverty ,insecurity,rising gas prices,and fallen American soldiers.For longer then I care to think about our jobs have been outsourced to other countries Which has only gotten worse in the last 8 years,more jobs outsourced = less places to work.Less places to work,= less money to spend, less money to spend = poor economy.Which is only made worse by a very costly war. Big business's like walmart have flourished during Bushes 8 years in office do you know why I do it is because they allowed to outsource to other countries and nothing is done about it.Big businesses do this simply to save them self money because in other countries there aren't strict labor laws like there are in America.There has been an awful rise in recalled toys,all being made in other countries.In other countries it seems to be acceptable to do things like paint toys with lead paint so they end up with more money in pocket.These big businesses also push out smaller businesses who don't outsource and cant afford to keep up with the prices of places like Walmart,which then hike their prices after they have pushed out all of the smaller businesses.They are being allowed to monopolize,there goes even more jobs.Now all of the small businesses are gone, there are no jobs, the poverty level has risen. Now what do you see? Military recruiters, why because the People who live in poverty and can't find jobs, and can't get loans for college because of the poor economy are easy pickings.I do not want McCain in office. I do not want more of the same for another 4 years. I didn't really care for any of the presidential candidates but I'm left no choice, 50 for Miss America, hundreds for American idol, 3 for for president humm something wrong with that.My vote is For Obama. McCain choosing Palin was quite simply a disgraceful ploy to pick up stray Clinton votes.I don't think it really matters seeing as how 8 years ago it was proven that millions from all over the country can vote, and all their votes are spit at when it comes down to one state taking the vote.Problem is it just so happen to be the state Bush's brother was governor of use your brains people.Oh lisaez1 how about do some research instead of being dimwitted and lazy if you are going to vote educate your self...exactly what I was talking about that handful of mush brains.

    I am thrilled by John McCain's choice in Sarah Palin. I like what she stands for, God and country, in that order. I think they make an unbeatable team! My vote is not based on her gender, but rather the combined ticket principles. FINALLY, an election to be excited about.

    I love that someone chose a down to earth common sense person. I really like Palin and I feel that I can relate to her and she can actually go for what's right verses what people want to hear. I think that it's a wonderful choice and they've got my vote.

    I was very impressed by Palin's speach last night. I am not crazy about our choices for President. I do not see either of them doing anything for us middle class families (if we can even call ourselves that anymore!) I think our VP choices appear better! Of course as a former Delaware resident I would not take my children there to live, and that fact frightens me with regard to Biden, although yeah, he is a nice guy.... AGHHH the world of politics.....

    Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told ministry students at her former church that the United States sent troops to fight in the Iraq war on a "task that is from God."

    Pleaaaaaase, give me a break. God had nothing to do with that.

    I could not fatham what would happen to this country if McCain died in office and "she" became President.

    I'm a strong support of Obama and that's all I have to say!

    Im a Mother of 5 and that is a job on its own so if she could pull off being vp without neglecting her position of mom then more power to her. In my opinion Obama gets my vote. Im not rich and our country has hit rock bottom becuase of the leadership we have now. We need someone whos focus is USA and not giving our money and resources to others when we have children, senior citizens and adults in this country which is suppose to be one of the riches countries, starving, no health care and treated like crap.

    I love her!!! I think she was a great pick.It is possible that she could be our first woman president and I say YIPPEE!!! Obama scares me, no experience at all lack of decision making, I am afraid of his spending.This country can't afford another Billary!!

    I can't vote for any party that supports Hillary. I am one of her constituants and I remember watching her on 9 11 leaning way over into the camera shot in front of Rudy giving up dates. She had nothing to say and nothing to do but try to soak up as much of the press coverage as possible. Arkansas didn't want her and neither did anyone I know in NY. Just goes to prove that you can buy an office.

    I liked the speech she made at the convention, and I like the fact that she is tough. She had to be tough to withstand all the nasty things that were written about herself and her family. I think she and John Mc Cain complement each other nicely, and will be a present a strong united front throughout the world. I think Barack Obama is a pretty face put forth by the moveon.org people to further their New World Order agenda.
