I would have to agree with you that Jon McCain is the most experienced, thats obvious with the 22 years on the senate. But I think that we wont see much change, if any at all if he is elected. It has been pushed and pushed that McCain is going to finish out our "Freedom War" which will take how many years, and how many billions of tax payers dollars. The war cant keep going on because as soon as we leave it will go back to what it was before so why bother. The United States has far more needs right not, we have to get our economy back on its feet. Will Obama do that, we will not honestly know unless he wins. Sarah Palin's history shows she knows how to get money, what is it a couple hundred million for a town of 8,000 people, thats impressive, but i dont think she even knows what she got into yet. Joe Biden, well i dont think he has a handle on things either, I thought that the vice presidents have been chosen prematurely and with little thought. But I will put my vote in november you can count on that.

MrsObvious, do you honestly believe that American forces being in Iraq will not lead to them engaging in combat? Be realistic here! Do you remember the people that we are dealing with over there? Suicide bombers, car bombs every time you turn around! Do you think that their intent is to end this peacefully? You need to wake up and smell the coffee. I do agree with you on some things. I also am tired of the latter! I will definitely be there on election day.

How will this country stand another few years like this if McCain wins? If our economy keeps going like this and McCain puts his plans into action, we will need almost two homeless shelters in area where we have none. As fara as the war, why are we still there? We are not fighting Iraqi's. We are fighting people from the surrounding countries. They are using Iraq because that is where the American troops are. I have respect for McCain in his own beliefs, but it is very obvious that he has no clue. Start talking to the soldiers. It is not the commanders out there fighting, and if they don't say what they are told to say they are either reduced in rank or put elsewhere. Talk to the ladies and guys doing the fighting. There have been some commanders there that have never left their comfort zones and when the soldiers try to tell them their experience, they shut them up. McCain saya he would not let a soldier die in vain? Then wake the hell up!!!

John McCain's picked the wrong running mate! Palin is all about big oil and definitely not in favor of the environment. She favors opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas development and she and her family gets one of its paychecks from the oil industry. She questioned John’s plan to impose a windfall profits tax on oil companies to provide a taxpayer rebate, saying, Such taxes prevent oil companies from investing more in domestic production. Palin opposes the Bush administration's decision to list polar bears as a endangered species under the Endangered Species Act, and even stood with Alaska when they sued Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne earlier this month to try to overthrow his decision. Palin argues there isn't enough evidence to support a listing, and she worries it will harm oil and gas development in prime polar bear habitat off Alaska's northern and northwestern coasts.
The Legislature is investigating her dismissal of the state public safety commissioner. A legislative oversight committee wants to know if the commissioner was dismissed because he refused to fire a trooper who went through a messy divorce from her sister. “Campaign contributions Palin collected earlier in her political career could also provide fodder for Democratic campaign ads, tying her to an Alaska Republican political scandal from which she has tried to distance herself” “Palin raised at least $4,500 for her unsuccessful 2002 campaign for lieutenant governor from executives of VECO Corp., an oil services contractor at the heart of a massive influence-peddling investigat

Who really is raising Palin's children? I am a mother of two young children and I find it hard to believe that she is there for them as a mother should be when they need her. I work full time and miss out on a lot with my children. How can she be governor and still get the duties done that mother's should be doing? We may have struggled as common people, but I could bet on the fact that Palin or any other politician can see through our eyes. McCain and her running our country scares me to death! I know I have heard words from their own mouths that send chills down my spine. McCain seems so militarian. He seems like he would be one that would like total control, not democracy. People, you think GW's patriot law is bad? I could see McCain expanding on that and making things a lot worse. Just call my feelings "a gut feeling" and I may be wrong, but I get a really sick feeling about the two of them being in control of our country. By the way, my gut feelings are usually so accurate it scares me.

I agree with mulligan4bob. I would rather have someone who hasn't been tainted yet with power.And why can't the Iraqi people defend there own country yet? How long have we been there? Who defends our country? Who stands up for our rights? WE DO. As long as we are there doing the dirty work, why should they stand up for themselves? We are enabling them. It's time we take off the training wheels. And just a thought here, has it crossed anyones mind that the only reason Palin was chosen for V.P. is so the rep. have someone to blame if they lose? I think it's kind of funny she comes out of the blue.She's pretty,so that takes care of the shallow males, she's a woman, so that takes care of the shallow women, and if they lose, it's because this was her first time running. If he wanted a woman, why not one with more expirience? Not sure about it all, but I will be voting.
