McCain/Palin are the Change WE need!!!

If you look back - you will see that the Democrats put us in holes and the Republicans take the heat while trying to dig us out - Let the Republicans keep digging us out! I don't want to live in a Socialist Country and that's what we would have if Obama and Biden (well, he has puppet strings attached) get in!!!
THINK IT THROUGH BEFORE YOU GIVE UP ANY THING AND EVERYTHING YOU HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO EARN! Obama wants to give away hard workers earnings to people who don't even TRY to gain the American Dream! I WORK HARD FOR MY SELF - ANYONE CAN make a GREAT LIFE in this Country IF they are willing to WORK FOR IT.

Obama Biden a REAL CHANGE from BUSH/McCain

Do You make $250,000 a year if not. Think before you vote. If you do make over that you pay higher taxes. I make more then that I can say I am doing fine I can pay a little extra. That is why I am voting for Obama the change we need. Odd McCain now says change change change. Obama said it over a year ago in Dillon SC I heard it myself.

little extra

Don't think it will be a little extra. Any politician that endorses class warfare to push his agenda is to be feared.

Wait until he takes everything you have, gives it to others, and leaves you with a tax burden that brakes your back.

And besides, if you don't think your paying enough, you can and should send the govt the extra money now and not wait for obama.

I don't think they will turn it down.

"I am doing fine I can pay a little extra." Go ahead, make my day.

LOL

AC/DC Thunderstruck ??? They did not play that did they?? Isn't that a little too wild for the conservative republicans present? I bet half of them had their fingers in their ears.

Did they purposely let no African Americans sit behind the podium or were there none there?

Obama is still leading in NC. Ha.

Das Weibstück

Congratulations on being a racist.

Your statement confirms that some people shouldn't have children or vote.

I don't guess you will have any problem accepting money when obama taxes everyone into the poor house as long as you get your share.

"Did they purposely let no African Americans sit behind the podium or were there none there?"

Lame comments from another gimme something free voter.

You are not standing next to me

I think you are under the impression that I am black? Not last time I checked. As far as my "share" goes..... I have never had ONE cent from government aid in any shape or form (unless you count the stimulus check that we used to pay for our last trip to Europe). I am a white, female, registered republican and upper middle class (that is so conceited, I hate typing it). Most of my family members have income above 250K that Obama plans on taxing you dolt. You assume too much from my post that was actually trying to be a little funny. I guess I failed at the humor. I figured that no or few blacks were there.

This "race" has been about race since day 1, so really blaming me for bringing race into this is a bit late. I do not care if Obama is figgin GREEN or purple.

Look, the last 8 years of Bush has me so disappointed in this countries government that I would vote for ANYONE not republican to get them out of there. Yeah, go on and tell me that the Democrats were in control some of that time..... SO ?, he is the "leader".

I lost over 7k on one of my annuities this week, no idea what the others did yet. This war has gone on too long, too many people are losing jobs around here with companies closing up shop, gas prices are a scam, illegal immigration just ERK's me when my parents had to work very hard to get us all here in the 60's legally... and it seems no one gives a hoot up there about anything. The rest of the world thinks we are idiots.

Just want something different and a chance for someone else to fix it or maybe make it worse, anyone up for that???? I doubt it. Obama will have just as much chance as McCain but I refuse to vote republican again.

Hey, Common. Gee Thanks. I'm not the brightest crayon in the box but during this presidential campaign they have given none of us anything to work with. We are all screwed.

re: Das Weibstuck

O.k. Mr. Das,
yes ,you heard AC/DC Thunderstruck!
Is that is all you have to say about Mcain ?
"Did they purposley let no african Americans sit behind the podium or were there none there?"It is unfair to make a statement like that.This is the problem...always tring to make it a racial thing. GET OVER IT ALREADY ,THE PAST IS THE PAST.If there were not any African-Americans there well so be it .Everyone has a choice.Please do not make this a racial thing...please: this our country we are talking about not who was there and who was not.Get some education about Mccain and Obama then make a choice.If you are voting because he is muslim,white,African American then you are voting for the wrong reasons. Let the people with some education about these 2 people vote and it is obvious you have a problem with caucasians.So stay home if you can't vote with the education in store.I know plenty of African Americans who are voting for Mccain.....because they are EDUCATED....unlike you....if you were then your comment sure does not show it.I am not racistsounds like you are and by the way you may think Obama is still leading but hey it's not over yet.Also your little "Ha" comment...grow up!

No, AC/DC is not too wild

No, AC/DC is not too wild for most conservatives

BTW- You had to get a ticket to get in- so I highly dobut they barraed blacks from getting in. Stop trying to stoke racism here like the typical left wing media does,

Another thing- I've just always wanted to bring this up......Unless someone was, in fact, born in Africa and became an American citizen, they are simply either WHITE Americans or BLACK Americans. I don't call myself a "German American." We are all simply 'Americans"- period. Enough with the politcally correct bull crap (THere are white African Americans too....) and let's cling to "American" without distinction.

Das, does it not bother you...

...that the man already voted once to allow the tax cuts of '01 and '03 expire for anyone in the 25, 28, and 31% brackets? (But not for those in the lower brackets - they must have been "good" tax cuts)

This man wants to take money from you, and simply hand it to other people. You're comfortable with that?

Are you also comfortable with his vote to allow prosecutions of people who use a firearm to defend their life...in their home? That's okay?

You have always struck me as an intelligent woman, and I encourage you to take the time to examine the man's voting record. Don't waste your time listening to his commercials or MCain's. Check out their voting records.

Don't fall for the lies.

Hey, there were no african

Hey, there were no african american supporters at all. i go to college there and the only african supporters were supporting obama!!

McCain???

I didnt go to the speech although I would have liked to hear what he had to say (I ended up listening to him on the BIG TALKER and realized I HAD HEARD THE SPEECH. It is the same one he gives over, over, over, over.....right down to the bracelet given to him that he wears on his wrist, he just changes the name of the town he's in. I actually don't favor him or Obama, I am voting for the VP, Palin may good at shooting elk, being a soccer mom, being sarcastic, I really don't want her as my president. She just does not have the experience where Biden does. As for the lentgh of the speech, it was very short and I thought as a townhall speech I heard he was going to take questions, in fact I THOUGHT I HEARD MCCAIN HIMSELF SAY THAT BUT APPARENTLY I WAS WRONG because the media on the BIG TALKER appeared that they thought they were taking a break while he was shaking hands before he came back to take questions and they seemed surprised when they had to admit he had left the building! I'm so tired of PARTIES, can't we all get along and just be AMERICANS?!?!?

John McCain at CFCC

I think he is a very good Speaker and does it much better than Bush. I was suprised at how short his 'speach' was. I expected to be there for well over an hour when it was actually only about 25 minutes. And did I leave before he took questions from the crowd or was he not going to do that?? He is still has my vote though!

Obama's tax cut

Mr. Obama will give 95% of American working families a tax cut, even though 40% of Americans today don’t pay income taxes! How can our star enact such mathemagic? How can he “cut” zero? Abracadabra! It’s called a “refundable tax credit.” It involves the federal government taking money from those who do pay taxes, and writing checks to those who don’t. Yes, yes, in the real world this is known as “welfare,”

Obama has no experience with running a country and is being told what to say by a few friends and groups like ACORN and Moveon.org! McCain and Palin both has experience. Obama has none!

It's not welfare

It's outright wealth redistribution taken straight from Marx.

The simple fact is that Obama, most Democrats, and groups like Moveon.org are dedicated to destroying America and the American way of life.

Re:

It's very simple. 2 Candidates: One attended and graduated top of his class from Columbia and Harvard in the 90's, 2nd contender graduated bottom of his naval academy class in the fifties and didn't even attempt his graduate. Sure, experience can help allot, but if you don't have the education, there's a limit to the idea's, creativity and the amount of ways resources can be utilized. In regards to experience, I agree McCain is older, yes, however, he doesn't quite have the experience to be the President of the US, maybe Secretary of Defense or a position overseeing the armed forces, but even with those responsibilities, he wouldn't gain popularity for the sole fact that he voted with Bush to cut education benefits to US solders, not to mention a list of other non-supportive actions (which surprise me, I thought he was "for" the troops). Anyhow, just check with all of the media's 'fact-checking' reports confirming the mis-understanding/assumptions/inccorrect comments from McCain. Not sure about you, but I'm concerned about McCain’s truths and ability to stand firm with a decision.

Obama's education and his ability to use it

Just because someone does well in college (very expensive ones, I might add) doesn't mean they know what to do with the information they learned once they graduate. I have known many college graduates that were excellent students, but when it came time to being able to use the facts they learned, they appeared less than intelligent. Life teaches you lessons you can't learn from a book.

Since Obama is for the "little people" and against the rich people, why is it that he went to schools that had nothing but rich people there? Where did he get all the money he is using to buy this election.....from his rich, foreign friends?

Just because Obama got an A

Just because Obama got an A in public speaking 101, does not qualify him to be president. Ever heard of Einstien. Also, how come no one ever asks why they choose to cut this program or cut funding on that program. Ever heard of a buget; you can't have everything you want even if it's needed. Obama is not Jesus; he's not going to save the world. Macain, isn't that great either. We're all stuck choosing the lesser of 2 evils, whoever that may be.

"Obama has no experience

"Obama has no experience with running a country"

Neither does anyone running for president unless they're the incumbent...

Do Palin and Goodtime share a brain

The Obama/Biden Camp say WORKING families. If you do not WORK, your not exactly paying income TAXES now are you? Love the deep thinking repubs that gave us bush...good thing there are not enough of you left to give us another four years with mcsame!

reply to "informed"

I feel really badly for you if all you can do is make fun of people and pretend to be more intelligent than others. You must have really low self-esteem.

It would be really great if everyone would stop thinking along party lines and start really remembering how the US got into the trouble we are now in. It would also be wise to remember that the President only has one vote. The democrat house and senate are the people coming up with items to bring up for a vote. Why aren't Americans holding the senate and house accountable for any of these problems we are facing?

Everybody talks about how horrible everything has been since President Bush has been in office. Think about all this country has been through....9/11, which was in no way this President's fault; the biggest real estate boom this country has ever seen; the lowest interest rates we have seen in many years; low unemployment rates until just recently and a host of other things. The media has brainwashed everyone into believing everything is bad. Do we ever hear positive things from the media about when umemployment is low, when personal income rises...we only hear negativity. Its a wonder everyone in the US isn't suicidal with all the doom and gloom we are constantly fed by the news media. Perhaps we should also hold the news media accountable for what they report and stop the falsification of information.

You epitomize the typical Obama voter

You can sure flip stations to catch all the spin and commercials, but you know absolutely nothing about Economics or the U.S. Tax Code.

If you did, you'd know that there's such a thing as Earned Income Credit. There are literally TENS OF MILLIONS of people who work, but pay zero taxes because of income level and exemptions. You can actually get money that you didn't even pay in!

Obama's plan is to increase advanced EIC payments. That means that millions of Americans who pay nothing in ioncome taxes will simply be GIVEN more money that the governmnet has collected from other Americans with higher incomes: Direct wealth redistribution by force of law.

Plus, any time they want to get MORE money, they can simply have another baby to qualify for a higher EIC. Obama will basically back-door and cancel all the good that Clinton did in reforming welfare.

This man's agenda is quite clear.

Working

Lots of people who work don't pay income taxes, it's called earned income credit.

I guess every demo has the right answer

Haha the ol highschool name calling game. I guess the liberals still turn to the childish solutions for problem solving.

If anyone read the Iraqi Press over the weekend, Obama informed the Iraqis that he will fix everything after he's elected. I guess electing a muslim (their own kind) will change the minds of anyone who plans on blowing up the streets there.

If you hold down a bully by his neck and let him go and think its over... Retaliation is obvious. DO YOUR RESEARCH ON OBAMA. THE MEDIA IS ONLY SLIGHTLY SKEWED.

Name callers?

Ha, ha the old highschool name-calling game? The people calling names are the Republican candidates. I respected Sen. John McCain as anyone should for his service to this country, but I would never vote for anyone who stoops to calling their opponent for the presidency of the United States a traitor to his country. If this is so, then every Democrat in this country who voted for Barack Obama in the primary & plans to vote for him for the presidency must be supportive of terrorism after the fact. Should McCain/Palin ascend to King George's throne, will the enforcers then be canvassing neighborhoods for Democrats under authority of the Patriot Act?

not enough?

i doubt that there are not enough republicans to vote in favor of mccain. obama wants to raise taxes on people earning more than 250,000 a year. penalize those that have earned their upper tax bracket. smells like communism to me.

Guess What! Obama Not Qualified to RUN for President

Look at obamacrimes.com a Democratic
Attorney in Philadelphia, Pa has a major
law suit against Obama. He is requesting
a vault copy of Obama's birth certificate
and citizenship papers. Obama REFUSED to
supply documents and in fact is trying to get disclosure denied and the case dismissed.
What does Obama have to hide? Just give the Judge a vault copy of birth certificate. (Note: COLB is not a vault copy of a birth certificate) Watch the video it is
extremely interesting.
