Comments on: CNN Poll: Obama gains on issues, personal qualities http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/10/07/cnn-poll-obama-gains-on-issues-personal-qualities/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Mark http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/10/07/cnn-poll-obama-gains-on-issues-personal-qualities/#comment-1871384 Mark Tue, 07 Oct 2008 21:12:35 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=23122#comment-1871384 In their negative deep dive, the McCain-Palin campaign hammered Obama for supposedly saying our troops in Afghanistan are just "air raiding villages and killing civilians." The Washington Times reports that John McCain himself once said something remarkably similar in 2000. McCain called the Clinton strategy and tactics "...the most obscene chapter in recent American history is the conduct of the Kosovo conflict when the president of the United States refused to prepare for ground operations, refused to have air power used effectively because he wanted them flying — he had them flying at 15,000 feet where they killed innocent civilians because they were dropping bombs from such — in high altitude." Palin said Obama should be "disqualified" for his remark about Afghanistan. Should she hold her running mate to the same standard for his remark about Kosovo?

John McCain may believe all that, and may get angry with anyone who questions it. But the truth is plain: time and time and time again he has sided with the trickle-down, deregulatory policies that have sunk us. He may not see it, but we do. And we aren't buying what he's selling.

Now he just comes across as someone who is willing to "sell his soul to gain the world". And Palin is downright scary! She comes across as a female Bush who is running on personality and likability - but no substance. People are not willing to take that chance again. As a Christian, I can never vote for her because she is running a decidedly un-Christlike campaign. She is lying; twisting the truth and inciting people to anger and hate. I'm voting Obama...

To think that he would stand before a group of people and let them without admonishment call the other candidate and a fellow member of the Senate of the United States of America a "terrorist" is beyond anything that can be believed or said about him. I am very sorry that John McCain was captured and tortured during the Vietnam War, but that hardly qualifies him to be President. I have seen nothing that qualifies him. The fact that he has escaped true punishment in his past misdeeds does not make him a man of principle and his picking of a totally unqualified Vice President shows him to be a man totally without judgment. He will run this country into the ground and then blame anyone....well if there are any of us left to blame...... If you can't or won't vote the Obama/Biden ticket do the rest of us and just stay home. John McCain's conduct during this election is less than honorable.

The only change I see coming is this man taxing everyone to death and the people that vote for him will come to regret it.
