McCain and his campaign are talking-up the fact that a teenager is keeping her baby, when they should be condemning pre-marital sex that led to the pregancy. Which Bible do they read? Is Gov.

If McCain wins, I will really pray without ceasing because I shudder to think of Sarah taking over the our government! Romney sounds and looks like a used car salesman. McCain smiles as if he is in pain, with a sneaky look. Huckabee reminds me of Gomer Pyles. Cindy McCain reminds me of Barbie, who always walks behind her man-not beside him. After tonight, I'll tell you who Sarah reminds me of, especially since she is supposed to be "the hottest VP frpm the coolest state."

I am praying now that Obama wins. If McCain wins, I will really pray without ceasing because I shudder to think of Sarah taking over the our government!

McCain so what a war hero, that is so old and played out "WHAT HAS HE DONE FOR ME LATELY?" Oh I know the answer "NOTHING" He is a washed up old man who needs to go sit down in his rocking chair, he is a copie CAT trying to piggie back off of the next PRESIDENT OBAMA. Sarah Palin is being used by McCain, she has NO experience in nothing but having BABIES that's about the most experience she has. Sarah should have taught her daughter about birth control and maybe she would not be another negative statistic. Now the poor girl has to have a shot gun wedding and marry her 18 year old boy friend who is clueless about life. Now Sarah is dragging him around like a run away slave.

What they simply don't get is the choice is between keeping doing the stupid things that aren't working to strengthen and protect our country and finding smarter ways to get there. They are talking about how they can fix all the problems that the liberals caused. Who has been in the White House for the last 8 years and which party has controlled congress for 6 of the last 8 years. Their speeches have come from big time politician and corporate CEO's. Yup, the party of the people all right. Why would we put the same bunch of fools, who obviously STILL don't get it, back into power. Palin as running mate is yet another example of poor judgment and reckless decision making. Grossly unqualified right wing extremist selected by an out of touch candidate.

At least he knows foreign affairs, security of the U.S. and has the experience to lead this country at the most urgent time of need in the past forty years.
