Neither candidate impressed me one bit. Obama strikes me as a shady guy, who will do anything to win an election. This was a guy who joined senate and six months later decided to run for president. What scares me is when he came out and said he has executive experience because he ran a campaign for president. Really? So in that case McCain must destroy him on experience since he has ran how many times? and McCain this guy is a genuine American hero, honestly I don't think anyone can debate that. The thing that scares me with this guy is that he seems slightly unstable, and may keel over any minute. Personally, I'm glad the media is finally taking a look at someone other than God Obama. I'm sick of this guy, but I'm sure by November I'll be just as sick of McCain and Palin. I think Biden is the only one who has stayed out of the spotlight, which is nice. I just wonder what the media will talk about in January, Britney Spears? Micheal Jackson?

The only reason to vote for McCain is for supreme court nomination.

Palin: they state she has 'foreign policy' experience as alaska borders canada, and is close to russia. uh, sure... ever heard of the bering straight? its cold, watery, and not many people go near it really. its not like russians are lining up to swim across it.

and, while its true that she govern's the largest land mass state, its population density is the lowest of any state. oh, and she's only been governor for 20 months? as per her experience, she was mayor of a town of 6500. gosh. thats like being the mayor of Patterson, CA. ever heard of it? yeah. thats exactly how impacting it is on the nation. though, i'm sure that she was given many 3am wake up calls concerning the local truck stop that some kid decided to drop a cherry dumb inside the toilet for fun.

as per what happens in her family, she is in the public eye. there is no such thing as privacy. don't like it? don't run for office. clinton, bush (both), reagan all went thru the same. clinton was bashed for his extra-marita affairs, despite that being NO ONE'S business. bush sr kept his nose fairly clear... bush jr made so many mistakes, but none have really hurt him. his g/f back in college having an abortion, or him being a drunk and druggie... or going AWOL from the texas air national guard. reagan was losing his mind while in office. that was made public, but he never got mud slung at him. but, his business affairs prior to being in any office were far from scrupulous. that guy made quite a few 'unsavory' choices that basically screwed over tons of actors (he was the head of the screen actors guild decades ago), but he and his buddies were aok.

and what the hell gives some old white the right to choose whether a woman can or cannot get an abortion? it isnt their body. besides, if a girl cannot get a safe and legal abortion, she'll just run to the back alley and finish the job with a coat hanger then die from internal bleeding or run off to mexico and suffer the same fate.

who cares if gay people get married? does it hurt anyone? no. besides, they want a 'normal' life just like anyone else. why allow a flawed religious text to enter the decision of whether 2 people join their lives?

i have no confidence in either party at all. but, to vote in McKain would be like allowing Bush the 3rd into office. i am really not comfortable with that idea.

people yap that they want things to get better. if McCain is voted in, nothing will change for the positive. i am NOT saying that Obama will make everything/anything better, but at least he isn't Bush or his clone.

i will cast my vote on the 1% chance that Obama might be able to change something, versus the 99% chance that McCain will keep everything exactly the same.

btw - in Wales Alaska... its a nice and warm 42 degrees, but it FEELS like 31 degrees! HELL YEAH thats the kind of weather i want to endure at 1pm during the summer time, when i'm trying to cross the Bering Straight.

wow. i wish that people would fully dislodge their heads from their backsides when they say that Sarah Palin has 'foreign policy' experience. everyone in the US hears about the problems California (and a few other states) faces with illegal immigration from Mexico. somehow, i sincerely doubt that there is any such problem with illegal immigration from Russia to the US via Alaska.

this is exactly how nice Sarah Palin is. not a single shred of common decency. laughing as a DJ calls her competition a '*****' and 'a cancer on alaska' - her opponent was a survivor of cancer btw.

Bill Maher being comical about Sarah Palin.

I hate the propaganda... Only stupid people fall for this ****:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3sVP...eature=related

When here is the actual amendment that Obama voted for:

Sec. 27-9.1. Sex Education.
8 (a) No pupil shall be required to take or participate in
9 any class or course in comprehensive sex education if the
10 pupil's his parent or guardian submits written objection
11 thereto, and refusal to take or participate in such course or
12 program shall not be reason for suspension or expulsion of
13 such pupil. Each class or course in comprehensive sex
14 education offered in any of grades K 6 through 12 shall
15 include instruction on the prevention of sexually transmitted
16 infections, including the prevention, transmission and spread
17 of HIV AIDS. Nothing in this Section prohibits instruction in
18 sanitation, hygiene or traditional courses in biology.
19 (b) All public elementary, junior high, and senior high
20 school classes that teach sex education and discuss sexual
21 activity or behavior intercourse shall emphasize that
22 abstinence is an effective method of preventing unintended is
23 the expected norm in that abstinence from sexual intercourse
24 is the only protection that is 100% effective against
25 unwanted teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases,
26 and HIV acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) when
27 transmitted sexually.
28 (c) In this subsection (c):
29 "Factual information" includes without limitation
30 medical, psychiatric, psychological, empirical, and
31 statistical statements.
http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/full...=93&print=true

Also, while looking around McCain's site for ring tones (cause Obama has them, wondered what tones McCain would have... he doesn't...) and found a banner ad that named a bunch of economist that support the McCain economic plan... one name was "Michael Boskin" of Stanford... so I decided to look him up, and found that he was PRO-outsourcing this while working under Bush Sr.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Boskin

Hmmm... wonder what all those blue collar people backing McCain think about that.

This made me realize there is probably MUCH more filth and dirty bull**** McCain's camp is spewing about Obama and covering up about themselves.

I mean, it's super obvious that they are avoiding the issues... I just hope the debates bring out the Issues at hand, but I have this feeling that McCain camp may not stay on topic and use words to dupe the gullible American people.

Lets not forget the recent lipstick bull****...

McCain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U32G5_bqFvA

What really happened here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4RNM7eVBwM

Obama says lets quit this **** and get back to the issues: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubnFE05ZofA&NR=1

And for a conservative man like me, I have to agree. I'm ****ing tired of the McCain camp, and I simply cannot vote for Palin.
