I used to be one of you, but now I am switching over to vote for Obama, and I know lots of other republicans who are doing the same. Be Afraid, be very afraid Republicans. Your time is up. We are taking back the white house. Who the hell does Rush Limbaugh think he is. It makes me sick that someone like him is trying to make an American right a joke. This is not a game, this is people's lives. This is why I am not voting republican anymore. Make no mistake Republicans.

More tanks, jets, ammunition and of course US soldiers that they care NOTHING about! Much less the innocent people of the country they are invading. McCain is old and angry! Hmmmm... perfect! Thats what we need right now... an old angry republican that was a prisoner of war who will keep Bush's mad legacy going on until the end of his term. The world will be a dangerous place if he is in the white house. Anyone but McCain.... absolutely anyone!

Do you want more of our precious young people to die for some old fools idea of "winning".Don't these young people deserve a wonderful life too. Would you like your kids called by a draft? Because that will be the case, we don't have enough of the all volunteer Army to sustain a war for several more years. We the US citizens don't need to worry about someone coming to the USA to destroy us, we are beinging destroyed from within, the enemy is us. No jobs, high gas prices, mortgage issues, jobs drifting away to other countries, billions spent of a war that is unwinnable, whatever winning would be in the first place. vote or don't vote this is your country. Just remember In 1835, Alexis de Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America” pointed out; “In a democracy, people get the government they deserve.” He is a fool, those who say they would vote for him over Obama are fools, do you read the paper?, do you watch TV?

There is not a single person alive who could escape a presidential campaign without a label from the media. Any action will be blown out of proportion and if there isn't anything, somebody will make something up. The idea that McCain is a war mongerer is absurd. What person who has suffered through war the way he has would go and create that same risk for others? It's illogical. I think anyone who says, "Candidate X is evil," loses all credibility. Once you focus on personality and move away from the issues, you end up with a nice guy who could do anything once in office. This is so stupid.

To turn around and say all of that after a man called him and tempermental, the candidate knows what he is saying, he cares about it, and for those of you who bash him, because he is old or insane is just down right stupid. In my opinion anyone who says anything negative about his/her government, especially a president such as George W. Bush, or candidates like Mr. Obama, Mrs. Clinton or Mr. McCain are fools. I do not see you out there putting millions of your dollars, your time, your years to run for president or even make a change in this country. I am a Republican, and disagree with Obama and Clinton for the most part but I am not going to sully their good names, because I am an American and have respect for political figures, regardless of their flaws. Yes, I am a NH student, I still am in school, college I should say, Yes i am going to better myself, I am studying political science, and am a criminal justice major, so do not say I do not know anything because I do, and who ever negatively responds to my comment, more than likely did not get a proper education.

Gordon Liddy is an American patriot! For those who may not remember, Mr. Liddy was one of President Nixon's henchmen that broke in to the Democratic Headquarters back in 1972 and served four years in prison for his role in the Watergate burglary. Watergate was the reason Nixon resigned the presidency - remember!!! Liddy is now one of McCains' s biggest supporters. Or do you think it is ok for a presidential candidate to be palsy-walsy with an ex-felon that now happens to have a talk show, and was very, very deeply involved in a secret White House effort to subvert the U. S. Constitution? McCains campaign conveniently refuses to answer any questions about the McCain/Lddy relationship. Perhaps you can answer for him. We all should be concerned about more than McCain's temper. it seems McCain has his own Bill Ayers-type relationship to answer for. This is for Paul in Kissimmee:

However, the person representing a country should be able to control his/her emotions so as to come up with an informed, effective solution (which hasnt happened in the last 7 years). I stilll have trouble comprehending why the people would re-elect Bush. And now do we REALLY want more of the same policies? Do you ever notice how unintelligent people tend to think everyone else is stupid? It's because they dont have the cognitive ability to understand what an intelligent person is saying. Besides people, it's so "3rd grade" to point the finger and say... "well, your stupid" ... intelligent people know who the really dummy is. Knock off the name calling and come up comments worth reading or make your party look smarter by staying out of it. I'm sure ANY president would be mad over those things.

That's the stupidest decision you could make. Both Obama and Clinton share the view of ending the war in Iraq and they both have superior knowledge of the economy. Why oh why would you vote for a candidate that has a 180 degree opposite view of the candidate you were supporting? That equates to spite on your part and that's just stupid. Embracing emotion like that will not help this country, it will only hurt it more than it already is being hurt. Democrats Unite 08 End the War, Improve the Economy, Green Future! Democrats 08!

How can someone critisize him for his temper when every time Obama is asked about a controversy surrounding him (which are relevant ones) he raises his voice at the person asking the question. And for the people saying that McCain in Nov. will be another Bush Presidency, I think that it is sortof strange how everyone is complaining about him, but he won reelection in 2004 with a majority.
