OBAMA = BETRAYAL
Obama supporters are foolish to think that he will never betray them.
Obama was a close friend of Pastor Wright for TWENTY YEARS.
Obama threw Wright under the bus for personal ambition.
McCain would not betray his country even after 5 years of torture.
You can put lipstick on a traitor, but he's still a traitor.

Liberal's have stolen the Democratic party.So if you want liberalism you have socialism on other way to put it.

I wouldn't refer to BIG-spending democrats, but DIFFERENT spending. McCain would spend big by being confrontational and starting wars America can't afford to wage. He would have no money for people who are struggling --not unless they should give up altogether, become drug addicts and commit crimes. In that case, McCain would have plenty of money to shut them in prisons.
McCain was charming, likeable, appealing in his speech. He was admirable as a military hero, husband and father. However, he has tired ideas. His bankruptcy as a leader is obvious, as he adopts Obama's key idea --change at this late time.
Breaking news is that unemployment is up. We need solutions to today's problems. McCain has made his contribution and should be content to retire and enjoy his old age.

Whoever you are, as opposed to taking someone else's money and redistributing it based on a set criteria set by the government? Think first.

The Dems and Reps are left to sell their leaders to America.

Image is now everything. The real challenges have vacated consciousness.

ENRON, HALLIBURTON, etc. Lobbyists have deep pockets and McC is in them.
And if Hillary had said the kinds of things with the negative voice that Sarah did, imagine the media coverage! You'd think if you read the Wall St Journal, that Sarah was God's gift to the Nation. A Pentacostalist as step away from the Presidency?
OMG

Corporations are simply freely formed entities made up of INDIVIDUALS. The profits are shared by employees and investors. The candidate devoted to seizing our wealth is Obama and he is on record saying so. McCain's tax policies favor letting workers and investors keep more of their hard earned money. Obama wants to take wealth, (really earnings) and pour it into teh government coffers to be redistributed to those who have made bad decisions.

Sarah Palin has done her job. She has shown herself to be intelligent and widely appealing-and just as qualified as Barack Obama. Now it is time for McCain to refocus the nation. HE is running for the top post. He can easily contrast his track record and policy stance against the naive, angry, inexperienced and hugely mis-guided Obama.
This is where elections are won. The left is set for BO with even Hillary supporters calming down. The right is pleased with Palin. The center, which has been McCain's strength all along must be secured and the swing vote tallied.
Tonight's speech and the debates to follow are the final battle ground. McCain can win if he keeps the focus on the top of the ticket and the economy as the key issue. Energy is a key component within the economic argument. He must push the "all of the above" solution and relent on ANWR after the election. Palin gives him cover. He should use it.
