No one is asking you to listen to him or be influenced by him. As a supporter, he is well within his rights to express his views. Where does it say that a celebrity cannot speak his mind? If celebrities can't speak their mind, then John McCain, the real American Celebrity, should simply shut up. Matt Damon is a voter, just like you and I. The only difference is, he is Matt Damon.

And McCain is going to die? a 1 in 3 chance? Where is he getting these facts? another democratic ploy at using ageism. Or maybe he thinks that someone who has had cancer shouldn't be president. McCain gets health checkups regularly so if his skin cancer does come back he will catch it early. Obama could die in office just the same as McCain (please note that prostate cancer occurs 60% more in African American men then in white men according to webmd.com), and then we would be stuck with Biden whom Obama believes does not have the right judgement to be president. (because he voted for the war, just as hillary did and obama said she had the wrong judgement because of her vote.) Both Obama and Palin are inexperienced. I'd rather have the second in command learn and gain experience from the first in command then have Obama as the first in command without any experience.

I plan to finish writing it sometime next year and hope he is willing to take a look at it.

Barack ain’t gettin’ 270 EV come Nov. It’s all about the Electoral College, stupid. Leave it to the democrats to snatch defeat! from the jaws of victory! for the third time in a row. (00', 04', 08'). When will they (finally) learn? Hopefully by 2012. You got 4 yrs, DNC. You’ve! been! warned!. It doesn’t matter. Barack ain’t gettin’ 270 EV come Nov. It’s all about the Electoral College, stupid.

Everyone says you shouldn't use age as a bias but it's tough not to when you have a candidate McCain's age that has had a history of health problems. And having a VP with such extreme right wing conservative views scares the crap out of me. Any and every woman that is not conservative and is pro-choice that is considering voting for McCain should ask themselves "Can I live with Roe vs. Wade overturned?" If not, DO NOT VOTE FOR MCCAIN!!! The next president stands to nominate 3 supreme court judges and if it's the republicans there will be nothing but diehard conservatives on the supreme court for DECADES!!!!

How dumb do the Republicans think Americans are? From what I've read and heard about Palin (besides how the avaible information appears to be being rewritten in her favor every minute!), her extremist religious views equate to JIHAD in America!

His people should start firing Palin till she gives up the VP spot. She came 11 days ago. She has never had any interviews yet. Not even closed book speech. Her first speech was written and she just read it very well. She has said nothing to inspire people but only attacks that the GOP are happy about. She has not gone thru halve of what Obama has gonr thru for the past 20 months. Lets see if she can survive the rest of the weeks till election time.
