Wish Clinton could run again. But alas, it cannot be. So here we are is a sorry choice, zero accomplishment Obama or the very experienced McCain? What's it to be? The untested or the nerves of steel. MCCAIN has been handed a gift! Regardless of how I adore and respect both Clinton's it does not change the fact that Obama has limited experience at best and he's never been tested and proved that he can lead anything.

My Grandson, a Marine, was one of the first ones in Iraq and their job was to defend, at all costs, the Oil Ministry. You can't tell me we' weren't lied to by the BIGGEST LIAR OF THEM ALL. What Clinton did was between him and Hillary and didn't get thousands killed and wounded. She can forgive him, but how anyone in this country can forgive Bush is beyond me. We don't need another Republican in the White House. They say Obama is an elitest. If I hear McCain call his father a High Ranking Admiral one more time I'll throw up. A Admiral is a high ranking officer and we all know that without the emphasis he seems to need to put there. If you ask me an elitist is also someone who doesn't know how many houses he has!!! Being a POW doesn't qualify him to be President. I thank him for his service and am grateful, but not enough to vote for another Republican.

Or do you mean to most Democrats? In general, I find the conventions to be pretty silly and superfluous, both Democrat and Republican feeling like venues for rhetoric pep rallies. I guess more than anything, I'm just a little nonplussed by Mr Obama's campaign - universal healthcare, affordable college, sweeping education reform, and developing new energy technologies and efficiencies (which frankly would take decades) - all proposed to be accomplished while closing the fiscal budget deficit. I find most of his ambitions to be extremely admirable, but also impossible to achieve without further harming the economy. I've yet to hear any legitimate discourse on cost control (i.e. how to pay for all of Mr Obama's goals). I really feel that the conventions should be used to explain not only why, but precisely how primaries promises will be kept during the next four years. Much as I hate to play the cynic, I expect to hear more unnecessary, empty cheerleading in Minnesota next week. This must put me among the minority of people who "care about" campaign finance.

And what would Bill Clinton or Al Gore have done if in office during the 9/11 attacks? That's the question that begs to be answered, because quite honestly, I doubt they would have done much of anything in the wake of the attacks. I'm not fully condoning the Iraq war, but it is doubtful we'd make any real effort to bring the fight to the enemy. "Enemy" is another term that liberals refuse to recognize when it comes to the Islamic Extremist movement.

In other words, not a troll for the GOP. I get this unnerving feeling that the convention in Denver is the last big warm n fuzzy shindig before a loss in November. The excitement, commentary, speeches, it all has a sad, pointlessness to it. Someone said, it's a bit like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Has it ever occurred to you that covering the amazing unity and progress brought about by this convention is more worthy of note than trying to start fights for ratings? And for God's sake, stop cutting from the convention to show us your 'commentators', who are no better or moral than oil speculators. You cut the beginning of Kerry's speech and went to commercial when the war vet took the stage. Disgraceful. You want to cover this best? Just point the camera at the stage and keep quiet. Seriously, I care about the war vet's words a LOT more than Wolf's or Candy's or creepy bald guy's. CNN, stop trying to spin it like there's still animosity in the Democratic Party.

It takes a big man and an even BIGGER women to sideline your own dreams if only for a moment, for the good of this country. That is true patriotism. I challenge the Obama supporters and Clinton supporters to come together and take back the America that we love.
