Still Making Up Your Mind?

And how, exactly, is this supposed to help us make a decision?

Shall we discuss competency? senility? temperament? education?

How about moral fiber (like not running out on wife)?

You know... This really is an easy decision.

I am not crazy about McCain, but I certainly trust him a heck of a lot more than Obama, Obama's motives, Obama's backers, and certainly Obama's wife!

I don't get it. Because Obama celebrated his heritage he's unfit to run the country that was built upon the principles of liberty? I vote on issues, not race. I'm not crazy about Obama.. but, not because he's not 100% white "bred" American like some many people THINK they are.

I'm still writing Ron Paul in.

I don't care whether he dropped out or not, I can't vote for either one of these two people in good conscience.

I can't get on board with the Zionist agenda of McCains, and I can't get on board with lets give everyone something for nothing ideas of Obama.

Obama led efforts for "welfare to work" programs in Illinois, Wymzie. Maybe if you actually researched the guy (not just trust biased sources) you would find out that his positions on many topics (not all, nobody is ever a perfect match) might be pretty close to yours. Poor and middle class Americans need to start voting in their own self-interest, and that means voting for Obama even if he isn't 100% your guy, he is closer than McCain.

I don't want either of them.

However, Wymzie, your "Zionist agenda" talk is disturbing. Are you saying that the Jews do not have a right to a state of their own after centuries of the world trying to annihilate them? Are you saying there should be no democracy amid the hell-hole of the Middle East?

I have a friend who is Jewish. My friend often disagrees with some of Israel's actions, just as we disagree with some the U.S.'s actions. But my friend believes in a strong Israel, not only for the safety of the Jews, but also the region and world. Because I disagree with some things the U.S. does, should I want it to disappear?

The one thing I've learned in all my long years, is that when people use terms like "Zionist agenda," they are either anti-Semitic or don't understand a very complicated history. Sadly, the more you toss around phrases like that without understanding, the more you endanger my friend, whose family has been through enough.

God Bless America, but without care, it can happen here.

All of this talk about not voting for someone because of the color of his skin is bull. Because that is what most of the Obama supporters are doing. They want to vote for Obama because he is half African-American. If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black. Yes you are voting for Obama because of the color of his skin and not voting for McCain because of the color of his skin. So put it away already. This picture shows a red blooded American boy not afraid to fight for his country and freedom. And then you have Obama enough said. The truth be known Obama could very well be the anti-christ. Think about that
for awhile. Oh yeah I know I will be attacked for that one.

A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Obama. Only an idiot would waste a good vote on a candidate that doesn't have a chance in hell. I am not saying this because Ron Paul isn't a good candidate, I am saying it because McCain is the better of the two on the ticket. Please don't be stupid!!

Last time I checked, the Jews had a state of their own. It seems that it's the Palestinians that are left wanting a state of their own.

You don't "win" by holding the other guy down. You "win" by lifting yourself up.

Anyone who hates a "Zionist agenda" is either ignorant or evil.
A "Zionist agenda" has been the policy of the U.S. since Truman, and through every administration since, no matter which party! This even though all the oil in the region belongs to enemies of the holy state of Israel....There is a higher reason for this alliance. Read and try to understand history! Then try to read and understand the Bible or even the Koran. ANYONE with Muslim heratige isn't fit to be President of our UNITED STATES. It may well happen, though. The Bible says an Anti- Christ will come to power and trigger Armageddon. I think he would have to come to power in a powerful nation to effect such a war!

Why the bitter hatred of a tiny Jewish state that adheres to the Biblical physical dimensions of the nation? Poor Wymzie...being attacked by supporters and enemies of Obama! The muslims have 97% of the land in the region. Can't the Jews have the 3% allotted by God? I guess not, hence Armageddon!
Any idea where the name Palestine originated???? Again, read and try to understand!

Christian/Jewish or Islamic philosophy? I don't know which will prevail. I do know which I'm willing to die defending; It AIN'T Islam! Anyone who thinks we can co-exist isn't watching history and current events with any mental clarity or understanding.
I do know which one I'm willing to die defending; it AIN'T Islam!

McCain is a patriotic, brave American hero. His sacrifices to OUR nation are way beyond heroic,
they are Washingtonian!
Senator McCain is a better choice than Obama, even if he is crippled from war and captivity, even if senile, even if dead! A dead TRUE American is infinitely more fit to be President than an Islamic,(no matter what he says), enemy of the United States of America!

I don't think McCain is senile. Remember, Obama thinks there are 57states. We can't blame him for that; he spent much of his youth in Radical Islamic Indonesia. It's a good thing he was born an American citizen. I really, REALLY doubt he could pass a citizenship test. "And how many states are there in OUR nation Mr. Obama?"

You should look into that "welfare to work" thing. It was one of the largest wastes of money I've ever seen. Most ppl abused that program to degrees that cannot be totally described on a blog due to time constraints. On top of that there was no enforcement mechanism in place to make sure the program wasn't being abused. Just another entitlement that equated to a huge financial failure.

Interesting... I'd have trouble buying someone's propaganda when they aren't even smart enough to spell their poster correctly. "Your" is the possesive, implying ownership of something. "You're" is the proper contraction for you are.

Priceless. Im embarassing that obama made it this far. He doesnt even know how many states there are in this country, and hes running for president.

Anon 3:49 I agree that a vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Obama. I do not agree that Obama doesn't have a chance. Be worried, very worried.

Oh I am very worried.... I said Ron Paul doesn't have a chance in hell, not Obama... Go back and read the post again.

It's easy... If for some reason he does win, how can that man be sworn in if he refuses to say the pledge of alligence? Does he think that if he becomes president he can pass some type of law stating that you don't have to go through that whole process just because he refuses to do it. I vote McCain all the way!!
