McCain's not too old, you forget about our fore fathers or what? I don't want NObama and I don't want McCain. Where's Ralph Nader or Colin Powell when you need them? Either one were way more suitable than what we get a choice from now. I can't believe this entire race..FIRST OF ALL people, it's mccain and NObama, not Palin and NObama.

Those of us who work in the non-profit world depend on interest groups, consumer advocates, and yes, savvy lobbyists to get our message through to congress. So the real issue is whether the 'lobbyist' is on your side or not. I'd venture to say that all four candidates have a history working with advocacy groups. To endorse a plan to 'get' rid of the lobbyists is foolhardy and dangerous. Small corrections...isn't that the mantra of pilots? Let's get real.

I have not heard anyone using hockey mom as a qualification for any political job. Palin said she is a hockey mom in her speach, but she did not say "therefore, I am qualified for VP." Instead, her points are, my takes, 1. she is not to be intimitated; 2. she is a down to the earth, practical woman. I agree with you that Palin does need to show more about herself to the people of the United States that she will be able to lead as a President if McCain dies. From what I am seeing so far, I am not comfortable enough, yet. On the other hand, I am pretty much aware of what made of Obama by now, and I am sure you are too. Don't know about you, but I am scared of him being elected, really scared. On that base, I prefer McCain over Obama.

And therein lies our nation's most troubling problem. You only care about yourself and not this country. If you did, you would take more interest in this race and back up your claims with solid evidence. In the future try not to sound like a McCain 527 ad.

McCain claims he's against eye-marks and wasteful spending but picks a Vice Presidential candidate that supported the "bridge to nowhere", then opposed it but kept the $223 million dollars anyway. McCain claims that he will help the American people who are struggling with high energy prices. So what does he do? McCain picks a running mate that raises taxes on the oil produces in Alaska so that she can give every person in her state $1800 while people like me across the country pay higher prices at the pump to make up the revenue shortfall.

She was pregnant at 16, and later married. She was presented as the poster child of “moral decay” in America. Her mother Lynn Spears was not spoken of very kindly either. ROLE MODEL #2: Stay with me while I outline a hypothetical situation. A 17 year old teenager will marry in November, 6 months pregnant after ignoring lifelong teachings of "abstinence only" as teenage birth control. The wedding will take place in the Rose Garden and hosted by Bush complete with helicopters hovering just outside the White House no fly zone. Sometime in December the little “blessing” will arrive, perhaps vying for the first New’s Year’s baby. Now, I can only imagine the paparazzi mob scene next May when the mother actually graduates from high school and the price of the resultant shots of her in Senior ‘09 regalia. What would the rabid right say about the hypothetical mother in this case? So, to recap. For those of you out there that do not understand the definition of Republican hypocrisy, please reread the first two paragraphs until you figure it out. ROLE MODEL #1:
