Keep believing in dreams while you are awake....................

Just like me, I'm not religious and I'm pro-choice but above all, I think we need to be fiscally conservative if we want to have any chance at all to keep our economy dominance in the world map.

There is no way one leader can please anyone. One has to question that if Barack Obama is truly the maverick and push tough reform, how come he doesn't get opposition from his own party that represents the status quo? The fact that conservative has doubts about McCain always confirm my belief that McCain is a country first leader and a great character.

As a mother of two, who works full time and has ambitious dreams of my own, I would not and could not imagine the lack of foresight that went into this decision on all sides. John McCain, and most especially his advisers, should have known that this would have caused a distraction from his message and campaign. More importantly than that, Sarah and Todd Palin, as parents, should have taken a step back and looked at what this would do to their daughter and her future, their family dynamic with a Down's syndrome infant to care for and the country. It is not bad enough that Bristol is pregnant at 17 and about to marry her boyfriend, an arrangement that has been proven over and over again to result in bitter divorce, but she will now have to weather being the but of late night comedians, radio talk show fodder, editorials, op-eds from both sides, etc. without the benefit of her mother at her side. Does she really think that she can be there for her daughter and help run a country of 380 million people? This has nothing to do with Sarah Palin's anatomy, but it certainly has an enormous amount to do with her priorities as a parent, and her ability to make decisions that affect other people as a leader in this country. On both counts, in my mind and as a feminist, she fails miserably. Worst of all, she is making those of us that actually have our priorities in order look bad.

Shame on John McCain and shame on Sarah Palin.

"Congress shall make no law... prohibiting the free exercise thereof [of religion]"

I am a staunch republican. However, I believe that "all men" includes gays and lesbians, and that our Creator has endowed them with the same rights to "Liberty" and "pursuit of Happiness" as the rest of our citizenry.

Our constitution should NOT be amended so as to dictate how every religion defines marriage. "Marriage" is a word with religious roots and origins, and as such has no place in our constitution or laws, but should be left to be defined by the various religions, thereby allowing the expression of religious freedom through denominational definitions of the "sanctity of marriage," which we may subscribe to if, and as, we wish, as provided for in our Constitution.

Our Constitution and our government(s) should be involved only in legal "domestic partnerships," which can be entered into by any two consenting adults, leaving "marriage" for our various religions and denominations to define for their adherents.

If we can transition to this type of thinking, we can open the Republican Party to gay but otherwise conservative citizens, while acknowledging and validating the right of the "religious right" to their religious beliefs regarding marriage.

I make these statements on behalf of my late cousin, Del, who was Republican, Christian, and gay, and as an ally to some very fine gay and lesbian citizen friends...

isn't there a saying that goes like "when pigs fly"?

it seems that since the Palin pick, McCain has become the "new" messiah....

...kidding...

peace...

Idiots!

I will say this again....PEOPLE PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELVES....don't buy into the foolish. Do your homework before voting for or supporting a candidate.

Interesting. So I guess all this talk about lowering taxes for big oil and increasing America's deficit is for the "good of the country"? That type of attitude has really helped our reputation across the globe so far, huh?

Someone please explain to me why republicans, whose policies have absolutely destroyed this country's prosperity in less than 8 years, still fight history by wanting more of failed ideas? Think for yourselves...not what your parents/grandparents told you.

Obama/Biden 08/12

I hope he embraces John McCain and makes his endorsement a matter of public record in front of a cadre of photographers.

Governor Palin's resume: 'Fringe' Alaskan Secessionist Party Member… Almost Recalled As Mayor… Directed Fundraising For Indicted Senator Ted Steven's 527… Troopergate Scandal… Calls Iraq A War For Oil… Admits She Hasn't 'Really Focused On Iraq '… Palin painted the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord…Alaska National Guard General: Palin Plays No Role In National Defense….was for bridge to nowhere before against it…secured 27 million in earmarks and pork for Alaska small town even though she is against and
is a maverick…calls Sen. Clinton a "whiner", approval rating 65%, not
85% as told by Republicans when first announced as vp candidate.

"Eight is Enough!"

They offer nothing to the gay population, hence my questions are these really gay supporters or Karl Rove's invention.

I dare you!

What I care about is whether Robin Hood is attempting to pickpocket money I've earned for my family to redistribute to someone Robin deems "more worthy" of the fruits of my labor.

To the Log Cabins, I say it's great to have you on board. Hope to see you election day.
