Yeah, as long as he doesn't do what he is told after being elected the country will be all set.

Well done. Kidding aside, you said you were even more jaded about politics than me. Bravo. I supposed there was a time when it mattered who we elected. That time has passed. I don't give a crap if it's the O-man or the M-man.

The flip flop coming in January is when Obama, if elected, will not pull out the troops from Iraq. As I said earlier, GW went into Iraq for the oil. The next President will keep us there..........for the oil.

We have no choice................the spice must flow.

I have started to like Obama a little more as time passes. He is starting to go more in-depth on some of the things he wants to do. I like how he said there comes a time when we need to turn over responsibilities to the sovereign Iraqi government. The USA does not have the resources to build nations as we have been doing. Ron Paul said something similar.

People are worried about higher taxes. Well, let me tell you that a day will come where the USA will no longer be able to print the money out of nowhere. Massive taxes will be needed to pay for reducing the deficit, medicare, and social security. Leaving Iraq is a critical step to freeing up money and resources to pay these things off. It remains to be seen whether Obama can fully grasp the financial problems, but he's young and intelligent, and has shown he understands the problem to some small degree. McCain will just be more of the same.

Build a thousand Nuke plants! Energy Independence! Pay off the Federal debt! Save the Banks! Save Detroit and the Big Three car makers! Replace all the water and sewage pipes that are past their replacement dates under every city in the country! Green Revolution II! Win the War On Terror! McCain 08!

Yea, me too. I want more of the same. Sorry to be a flip-flopper but McCain is now my man. There's no way I'd wanna contribute to changing anything so I'm going to go ahead and vote for McCain too. Besides, who wants a ******* ****** for president anyway?

I guess since you guys have talked me into changing my vote, I'll have to go out and volunteer for McCain immediately. Did you all know he's a war hero? Well, perhaps tomorrow. Does McCain have a website? I need to find his office in my town and go down there and see what I can do. Tomorrow.

If you vote for either one you are part of the problem and actively contributed to the problem and therefore have given up your right to whine.

I'm a "George Carlin" type of voter myself.

He's only half a ******* ******. But what's that got to do with it? McCain knows how to win wars.

I do kinda like the way McCain, being from Arizona, is not one of those "Washington insiders" and he works in the best interest of the people and not corporo-fascist powers.

What's better, he'll make sure we stay in Iraq and finish off the rest of those filthy animals. Hell, slaughter the children, too. Hey! Maybe he'll even nuke the oil-thieving Iranians too! That'll teach them to be born in our oil fields.

Damn, I can't wait.
