I do not hate McCain - indeed, I supported his primary run in 2000. However, that candidate McCain no longer exists IMHO. Vote for your choice, leave the hate at home, and support your candidate rather than try to tear down the other guy.

I cannot believe the racist tone that has been taken on by the mcCain campaign since he chose, oh so wrongly, Govenor Palin. I am only guessing up there in Alaska, overlooking Russia, that she has never had to deal with many different kinds of people and doesn't understand that that is indeed what makes this country so very special. No two people are alike and it is definitely okay to interact with anyone(race, religion, etc) that you want to. Who cares what color anybody is these days? If you do, then you need to do some soul searching to make sure you're a member of our 'human' race! The idea is to vote for and elect the best person for the job, and quite frankly I think he is a decent, kind, and caring person that will actually do something for everday Americans. I don't know about the rest of you, but I am tired of watching the rich get richer and everyone else just get by - week to week. Give it some thought. It is time we all came together as a United Country and helped each other along the way. Obama/Biden All The Way!

Shame on you USA. For many years I have admired you and often referred to the USA as an example. But after following the elections I have to change my mind. Lies, hatred, fear, dirt-trowing etc. are becomming the standard. To me it does not really matters who wins the election because the President will only look after the interest of the USA and basically that is not wrong. But if this is the best you can do, you will absolutely loose more respect in the world. Shame on you. Is this the country that wants to tell others how to rule????

Michigan has been pure Democratic the past decade and it is a mess. When Ohio had Republican Taft as Governor and a Republican controlled US Congress we had 5% unemployment, now with Democrat Gov. Strickland and a Democratic controlled US Congress, Ohio now has over 7% unemployment. The Democrats have had enough time and they have failed us. It is time for a change from their failed policies that forced banks to loan money to people without a job. We need to put people in office that are proven bipartisan. McCain has a proven record of bringing people together. Obama is the most partisan politician in America, and we can’t afford an inexperienced “ruler wanna be” that will not work with all Americans. Rick is correct in pointing out that he is concerned about Obama’s less than candid remarks on his resume. Why doesn’t Obama show us the documents about his community service on the board with Ayers? Why the cover up on the documents that show us what Obama did with ACORN? Obama seems more like a Nixon than a Kennedy. Rick wrote, “Senator Obama is creating all of this by not being open and truthful about his past. Let’s see [the] documents to support the past use of educational funds and his past.

I want someone who actually remembers what is like to struggle every day making the important decisions. I have more faith in their thought process being on necessity and reality rather than some other ideological nonsense. I certainly don't care to vote for someone who has more houses and cars than they can recall with tens of millions in the bank.

I really feel sorry for people that are actually voting on issues like race, terrorism and socialism (boogeyman!). The USA was at it's economic peak with a blend of capitalism and socialism and activism. Oh well, I guess some find having fools gold better than having no gold at all.

He was propelled into office in 2000 on the wave of employing divisive social issues despite a thriving economy. Eight years later, this president and his party's inattention to the management of the economy has left the country in a deep mess. The choice- a new representative of the current party extolling the same methods for managing the economy or the other option representing the party that instilled economic policies that led to a budget surplus and good job growth in the late 90's. Unless one is hopelessly ideologically attached to the current "conservative" philosophy, how can there be a choice? Being able to feed your family and find gainful employment should take priority over judging whether a person can marry someone of the same sex or legally obtain an abortion....or the color of someone's skin.

I understand Senator McCain is offering a $5,000 tax credit but do you only get the full amount if your tax is equal to or exceeds that. For example on the 2007 return, if a married couple filing jointly with two children had a combined gross income of $50,000, they would have taxable income of $25,700 ( Exemptions = $13,600 plus standard deduction of $10,700). which would give them a tax of $3,076. So they would not received the full $5,000. And if this family only had a combined gross income of $24,300, they would not receive any credit. Is this correct? Thank you.

The poor image of America in the world is clearly a function of your politicians and your media. Ordinary Americans seem to be level headed and practical – no matter what their political leanings.

Yes you do have some ugly souls in your midst but overall I for my part think that some of my respect for America has been restored through this election cycle.

Palin and McCain are con artists. Sarah Palin is just worried about herself, not the country, and John McCain has flipped flopped and doesn't know which way to turn even in his campaign; he's so confused. Please vote for the sane and rational ticket: Obama and Biden '08. We can't afford the same Bush policies. Don't let them fool you--They are the same! People, please vote for change.
