I found McCain to be condescendingly snide, over-reactive and unreasonable. I found Obama's mature generosity to McCain a sign of his true great character and McCain's childish taunting to Obama as a sign of his true sick character. War hero or not, McCain would make a HORRIBLE president, with is Bush-like cartoon characterization finding enemies wherever we can accelerate them and wars wherever we can insanely start them, and in my opinion, all either because he has some kind of PTSD paranoia OR he is using the proven works-every-time fear mongering Republican propoganda to use the greatest way to get blind following of a helpless public by instilling unremitting fear in them of enemies everywhere... as McCain seem to even see Obama as an enemy... and as Joy said today on the view and I agree, he should see Obama as his ADVERSARY and NOT his ENEMY. It always amazes me the very people who wave their religion and bible as reasons they should be elected for their belief in God and Jesus, IGNORE the teachings of Christianity of "blessed are the peacemakers for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" and "love and forgive your enemies" for otherwise we just, as the Iraq war has shown, only empower and multiply those that already hate us and want to destroy us... we need to live up to our self proclaimed ideal of the greatest nation ever and rise above the insanity of the world and war and fear and hatred and intolerance, and talk, yes even to those that hate us, even those that want to destroy us, for without that we have no hope but to change them and as we saw with Sadam that for every madman we destroy, a thousand little wannabees more desparate and more dangerous spring up to try and take their place. Lets let Peace on Earth, Goodwill to All, not just be a Christmas carol but an everyday goal, or we are ALL doomed!

And that for the leadership skill of being able to look at a situation step back think on it then make a decision as how to proceed. Instead of acting like a 5 year old running amok making a decision and making Americans suffer the consequences like Mc Can and Bush records have shown they are famous for. I believe some people have become accustom to Washington/leadership lying to us that when someone shows up with a sincere heart of understanding and willingness to help they are so in a state of hopelessness they can’t believe anything good can happen. This is the America that so badly need CHANGE.

How dare he not acknowledge Barrack and Mrs. O. Who the hell does he think he is? One thing is certain, McInsane is not acting..he seems to really believe he knows it all and doesn't need any help. That sure sounds and feels all too familiar. I too saw the blatant errogance of McCain during the debate. How dare he not acknowledge Barrack and Mrs. O. Who the hell does he think he is?

He wants to get rid of corruption and excessive government spending and that is admirable. This is what he doesnt understand. You can get rid of corruption over time but if underlining govt policies favour corporate america over middle america, then the result will be that the few elite will benefit and the majority will suffer. The end result is strikingly similar to having all out corruption, most of the money in the hands of the few, and very little benefit to the vast majority. Continued ligitimization corrupt policies and inadequate regulation will only lead to the situation that we situation that we are in now in which we know that something is very wrong but we cannot refer to any policies in place to pin the bad guy.Therefore, it is not adequate for MacCain to say that he will get rid of corruption which can not be pinned to the breach of policy and regulation. I am not suggesting that corporate America should be unfairly treated because in the long run, all americans need corporate america and vice versa. We need policies that will lead to responsible economic growth in corporate america and middle america. In other words a win win. Obama's suggestion of reducing taxes on companies that keep jobs in america is a definite win win. These are the sort of policies that McCain needs to suggest.

The U.S. can't afford to have another Republican at all!!!! It doesn't matter who you feel i qualified. The bottom line is noone can mess it up any worse ok. So all you racism let get beyond that none sense and focus on the real issues with our country. I mean if we don't get this on the right track asap we can expect thw worse case scenario. I know it's plenty of republicans shaking in their boots now. Everything is crashing (stock markets) (gas shortages) (foreclosures) etc.....People the country we know doesn't even feel the same it's as if noone even cares. I can understand being a republican and i agree with a small portion, but if my party has let me down I would switch for the greater good. Let's wake up people the time is NOW!!!!!!!!! The results from McCain being put into office scares me dearly. The thought of Palin scares me worse!!! She is not qualified to get the job done, she can't even handle common sense interviews. She's pretty and smart V.P of our country that allready has enormous issues. If McCain get elected we better get ready to move to another country and that's all I got to say. I'm sure the other countries are sitting over there laughing at us. China owns us we really need new ideas and a new approach were in trouble and it will take a new fresh person to try to dig us out of this mess. McCain is old and set in his ways the only think fresh he has going is Palin's new face. Which is not enough of a change we need a educated woman with the job . Not just a hockey mom I'm sorry. Word of advise you and your first DUDe drop out and focus on Family Issues which should be your main concern.

I mean it just dosn't feel right and I don't feel right on electing him as my president. Maybe, he took a risk and might still win the election but he should becarefull. But he certainly lost my vote ..... besides, he should be ahead 20% in the polls by now? he's only ahead 5% and there is so much unknowns...

Here is something I like to talk about: Everybody talk about the 700B bail out, it only help large company in wall street. OK they got the money can loan more money to main street American, sounds good, but you know what, people like me already loss my job for over 2 years, my husband loss his business by 80% since 9/11. Our credit score from 750 drop to now 605. NO ANY BANK OR LENDER WILL LOAN US ANY MONEY AT ALL. What is the different for us? Who can help us? Those wall street company get bail out, and "have" the ability to loan money to people again, but those people who doesn't have money to pay back the loan since the not enough business or loss business or loss job....etc. What is the good for it? I am support OBAMA but you know, he will not able to help me either, unless give me some money :-) I am not a home owner (loss my house when I have cancer) I can't get any loan, I can't find a job....I have about 30000 bad debt can't pay, no any debt company can't help because my debt is "no large enough" I don't have money for health insurance, I can't qualify for California Med-Cal because my husband's income over $9000/month, they will grand me Med-cal with a $2200 monthly dedubicable...what good is it? My nightmare is far from over, but the start point is change our president. I don't care how Iran, Iraq doing now, I can't even same my own problem now. Wish you the best, Sincerely, Wingy & Family Dear Anderson,

As long as your country clings to capitol C - CAPITOLISM, whereby the corporate controls your policies by using lobbiests who are much smarter than the politicians (I know-I was one) there is little hope, Especially now that your citizens are expected to pay for your corporations lack of morals. Canada's Tommy Douglas (Keiffer Sutherlands grandfather) was a mild socialist who put it together for Canada. However, I believe full blown socialism will rot society from the bottom up, but, too much capitolism will rot from the top down. Somewhere in the middle works for countries that are serious about their peoples well being. For years both parties have baited the middle class with promices for affordable health care.
