Only 14 days left until the history is going to be made....

So, unless you want USA to become a liberal socialist push-over nation, go out and vote, and make the right choice! (pun intended)
 
...and might I add some advice from the jackazzes....do it as many times as you can......:p

Do it early...and do it often....;)

Maybe you could remind people to go out and vote without shoving your views down their throat. :bitter:

I disagree (actually with both of you) but we all have the same platform to express our opinions. I'm still struggling with who my write-in candidate will be.

Jerry, you can always put MY NAME in the blank space! :p Or how about Jeb Stuart's?!?! I mean afterall, if either of them get into office, the USA will "go to the dogs" anyway! LOL Just kidding people, so no hate mail please! :) Sorry, it is the jet lag talking.

No matter what one's political views or, political aspirations may be, voting is our right and our duty. I may not agree with anyone persons choice but I try hard to respect the same. Hey, at least they HAVE MADE their choice right? :convinced: In the end, it is the Congressional elections where we really need to pay attention. My greatest concern is a Democrate President and a Democrate House Majority. Where will the "check and balance" come in and who will monitor the same?:sus:

What I do not like about Obama is that he changes his linguistic cadence of speech depending if his audience is black, or white! Like what the hell is that all about?!?! Pick a speech pattern, and, stay with it! Don't try to court the black vote one minute and tell people you don't see any color the next, liar face! I do not like his wife, she has a mouth like a guppy and is to militant for me! Besides, she would no doubt decorate the White House in African safari motiffs! Anyone that "The OPRAH" would endorse, I would run from immediately anyway. From a medical perspective, his health care plan blows, and, so many people are going to get shafted, especially the children. I cannot abide anything that or anyone that threatens our children, or any child for that matter. Obama reminds me of Jimmy Carter, who, during his campaign for Governor told the black people one thing, and, the white segregationalists another just to get elected. The day of the his entering the Governor's mansion, both black and whites in Georgia were shocked at his "turn around policies!" Obama is courting and soothing the American people and if elected, will turn around and shock the hell out of them when he mentions the words "sacrifice and do without." He is indeed playing the race card and the bait and switch game. There IS a definitive "Black America" and a "White America." No sense sugar coating the same. Why can't he just be for ALL Americans?

What I don't like about McCain is that he has shafted women in the past with his policies, and, has no concern for their medical issues in the present or the future. He did however support the law protecting Latino women regarding abusive situations, Obama did not support it. Keep the Government out of medical issues, period. I don't like McCain's economical policies, and, his teeth annoy me! His wife isn't the American norm either. How many of us wear a size four and suits that cost into the thousands? Mrs. McCain would at least turn the White House into Beverly Hills glam, or maybe Arizona dessert neutral? Just cannot relate to her at all. She does however fund overseas medical missions for children, and, that is bonus for me. McCain needed a fuller head of steam early on, and, now trying to play catch up games is proving detrimental. And what is up with Sarah Palin dragging her infant son around like he is a sack of potatoes? Leave that kid out of it, folks with handicap children know you have a disable son, let that baby at home to rest already! McCain is being more honest with the American people, but sadly things are so bad folks want that more "hopeful cheerleading voice" and not the voice of reason and experience. Since I have worked with the military for about twenty years on medical issues, I would hope that he would at least give our Veterns better benefits and more experienced health care. They deserve the same and their families do as well.

So there is my opinion...who am I voting for you may ask? I remain...undecided.:) Anyway we can combine the two that may work?!?!:convinced:At least if we combined the two wives, the White House china would have African animals painted on it, but, a Tiffany price tag attached.

Time to go nighty night...say Good-night Rags...okay...Good-night Rags!:claps:

Last time I checked, this was a free country (though this may change soon) with people free to express their opinions. If we went by what you're proposing (not shoving down views down peoples throats), Obama and McCain should stop rallying and shoving their views down people's throats.

First time a President is elected with the last name starting with an 'O'?

So, unless you want USA to become a liberal socialist push-over nation, go out and vote, and make the right choice! (pun intended)
I don't get the pun. McCain wants to buy everyone's house... that'd mean that the Government owned the houses. That almost sounds like Communism! So McCain will buy everyone's home, force us to drill for oil in our backyards, making us slaves of the Federal Government.

Obama just wants to cut my taxes. Granted, I'm not Paris Hilton, so maybe I don't deserve a tax cut, but Obama is going to cut my taxes more than "Big Spender" McCain who wants to buy up all the housing and force us to work in coal mines while his minions drill for oil in our backyards.

There is a reason why McCain states are red... communism! And besides, we all know McCain is just one game of solitaire away from handing the keys of our government to the Chinese.

I don't want to eat Chinese food every night for the rest of my life! And they don't eat breakfast... have you ever seen a Chinese Restaurant open during the morning?! For breakfast's sake, vote for Obama so you don't have to eat Chinese Food for the rest of your lives!
 
Electoral college votes determine who wins, not our votes. Plus, if there is a tie, it won't be decided until January & not by us either. So let's hope one of them wins by a lot.

I believe you have the incorrect slant on things.....

McCain wants us to become a more independent nation, less dependent upon others.

The Dems got us in this financial mess......he's just trying to save our system.....not have it turn into socialistic society.......

You need to really do the math on who will be heavily taxed and bear the burdens of Obama......

BTW Chinese people do eat breakfast.....LOL You have much to learn.

ETA: I had to run out, but I just wanted to say that I don't see McCain as a messiah nor do I believe he has all the answers and will 'deliver us from evil'......but I do believe he hits the mark way more than Obama.....

True but do you have to tell everyone that doesn't share your political views that they are wrong? Maybe Mccain/Palin are the right choice for you but they sure as hell aren't the right choice for me. Frankly I am getting political burn out. I am tired of dirty politics and come on here for a break from all that. Guess I will go back to the freebie forum.

Hey...I like Chinese food, and, they make the coolet technological toys to play with!! And I like the color red, matches my hair!LOL Oh now now, it isn't all THAT BAD is it?!?! :p
 
Rags, on this we agree.....:faint:

But of course we do!! After all Preco, we are the two on here with the most intelligence and impecable tastes!! :rofl::rofl::rofl::wave: NO HATE MAIL I AM OLD AND DELUSIONAL!!!!!!!:p

Sweetie, you hit the nail on the head with stating a particular candidate "are not the right choice for me." Isn't that what this is all about in the end any way...who is "right for each of us?" No doubt we are all getting weary of the games, the lies, the promises soon to be broken, the fears, and, the uncertainity. Just do not let any of it stop you from coming on here, and, stating your views. :hug: Freebies are awesome, but, the forums lend more to reality than what most folks on here realize. Look at it this way, one can see the profound "polarization" just in this thread! As such, you know those elections are going down to the wire producing a divided America once again. :(

If you believe that then your sarcasm meter is well out of synch. I think that is the current W00t item for sale, so you may want to get a new one.

McCain voted against raising CAFE standards a couple of times. Had we passed that back in the 90s, we could be using upwards of 15 to 20% less gasoline today. Oh well... can't vote right all the time I guess. Our energy dependence is not cause by lack of supply. We generate the 3rd largest amount of oil in the world (we are competitive with Russia and Saudi Arabia), 2nd largest amount of natural gas. The odd thing is that we still manage to use almost 150% the amount we produce for oil and import a ton of natural gas.

So supply isn't the issue. It is demand. We waste so much energy through our exterior walls at home, our old furnaces, and gas guzzling cars. Energy that doesn't even go to heating the home or moving the car forward, just energy that gets lost in the process. Some homes could use upwards of 70 to 80% less natural gas to heat their homes... without touching the temperature dial.

McCain wants us to be independent? Why isn't he proposing to offer credits to Americans who get their homes properly insulated, to replace their 60% 1960's furnaces with 90+% efficient ones, or tax credits to people who buy or have owned established hybrids that reduce the need for gasoline? McCain says he wants to drill more, we are exploiting most of our significant oil reserves, and nuclear power... which has nothing to do with oil or natural gas, our two largest national security energy issues.

The Dems got us in this financial mess......he's just trying to save our system.....not have it turn into socialistic society.......
The Dems have been in charge of the House and Senate for two years. Bush has been President for 8. Now it can certainly be argued that the Democrats are not free of guilt with the recent meltdown in the economy, however, it is utter folly to suggest that the Republicans had met any deregulation that they didn't love.

You need to really do the math on who will be heavily taxed and bear the burdens of Obama......

Whoops... I think the sarcasm meter sold out at W00t. You'll need to get one at Amazon.com.

ETA: I had to run out, but I just wanted to say that I don't see McCain as a messiah nor do I believe he has all the answers and will 'deliver us from evil'......but I do believe he hits the mark way more than Obama.....
McCain offers very little difference from what Bush has done. Taxes, foreign policy, energy policy... the most important stuff, McCain wants to follow the Bush way of things. If this were McCain 2000, I'd strongly consider voting for him, however, this is McCain the "Maverick". He is hardly hitting the mark.

True but do you have to tell everyone that doesn't share your political views that they are wrong?

Oh gosh... can't be more plain that that. This stuff has dragged on for over a year! We need to shorten this thing else people will get really sick of politics. The good news, if there is any good news to take from this election cycle, we are looking at tremendous turnout, which means as much as 80% in many battleground states. :claps:
 
Know what I think?

It just so happens that the bulk of my savings is currently in a guarenteed account. While looking at my recent statement it occured to me that I may have to pay taxes on my earnings this year. But I don't care. I don't mind paying income tax on money I'm making (some of the other taxes are questionable). Unlike my poor husband who's 401K is losing more then he can put in. I'm lucky.

The thing that bothers me is the AMOUNT of taxes. I mean for goodness sake even God only asks for his tith! Which got me to thinking, (I know, you're all going to say "Don't think Cmom). I wonder how many of these WELL paid politicians tith at their church. I mean for real-not estimate, guestimate, approximately, someone else handles it for me so I don't know....you know what I mean? How much do they make? Half a mill? Are they really giving 50,000 a year to their church? And yet they expect us to pay so much more then that in taxes. Maybe they would argue that percentage wise it would be unreasonable for them to hand out 50,000-it is a lot of money. But do they think that 10% of their income affects their-cough-"budget" more then ours? More then the 30% or so they take to pay for our government services? I've been working and filing a tax return since I was 15. I'm 42 now. I can guarentee I've not cost the gov. the amount of taxes I've paid. Yes I know, I have to pay for those not able to cover their share. Unfortunately this includes the people with enough money to make sure they "maximize their deductions".

But back to my original thought. So much time and focus has been spent on the Economics at stake here. What about the issues that really should matter. Like ethics and morals and values? I was under the impression that pro-life meant everyone was allowed to follow their own beliefs on the matter. Now I found out it involves forcing Dr.'s and professionals who's beliefs are against to perform abortions anyway. How are we promoting liberty and freedom when we're forcing people to go against their values so that someone else can have their choice. Would it be that hard to find someone else willing to do it?

And how about the church based adoption agencys who are having to close or be forced to offer adoptions to same-sex couples. I'm not saying I'm for or against abortion or same sex couples. But we're losing our rights in the name of promoting rights. Everyone should have rights. Same-sex couples should have the right to adopt. From an agency that agrees. If a woman chooses and abortion, can she not find a Dr. who is also OK with the decision?

I don't think the gov. it an evil entity. But it's time we step up and put it where it belongs. In charge of law, and order...not in charge of values and morals. I want to know who up there in the big office is tithing at their church. That's who I'd vote for.

Go ahead and throw fruit at me now.
 
Guess I'd better go out shopping for a new Turban and brush up on my Camel riding skills...........

Under W, Hamas won an election, Hezzbollah repelled the Israeli offensive, Ahmadinejad continues to purify uranium, North Korea detonated the bomb. McCain's foreign policy is going to be the same as W's. If turbans and camel riding are going to happen, it'll be under McCain who'll continue policies that do nothing but strengthen and embolden terrorists and dictators!
