So, now can we (with the usual exceptions, of course) agree to focus on keeping McCain out of the White House now? I don't mean just here on the boards, but countrywide. It's time.

I remember the Flying Nun & the bear. I watched both those shows. I thought it was funny back then how the bear always was trying to con cookies out of Andy Williams. I've heard so many different things about Obama that I don't know what to believe or what to think about him...

You need to explore each candidate individually. For Barack Obama if you go to:

http://obama.senate.gov/ You will be at his Illinois senate site and can learn about what he's done as Senator for Illinois.

http://www.barackobama.com/index.php This is his Presidential campaign site.

I put those Obama specific sites up there because you specifically named him. You can find the same for the other candidates.

http://thomas.loc.gov/ At this site you can type in the name of the senator or congressperson and see the bills they have sponsored.

If you want the truth about any candidate it takes research and NOT listening to the likes of Limbaugh or television news programs with a specific POV/political slant. You have to listen to both sides and decide for yourself. People are coming out of the woodwork trying to place fear in the minds of the uninformed through false claims so they will vote for or against a specific candidate. It's up to each voter to become informed and vote intelligently.

My apologies, I mistook this for a serious conversation.

Obama has been from the south side of Chicago so he can handle any military we don't need. Unless you want war after war?
The cold was was a complete hoax, and still the Bomb exists! (so it is not over.) That will take the people, probably not from America.
But millions of Mexicans marching to our border seems like a good idea. Would we let them starve? A no there, will tell me what you are made of.
I wish I knew how to get all them Mexicans to march on our borders? I have tried!!! (maybe a blackout or 2 too.)

Thanks for the info. I'll have to check them out just to see what the other side is about. But McCains my man now thanks to Huckabee & Ron Paul not running anymore...

(oooh i know i'm gonna regret this...)

but Cheryl... WHY would McCain be your choice in any case? Are you just blindly wedded to the republican/conservative party? The same party that has brought this country near to the brink? Do you ever read the national news? Do you really think of what your choices are??
Or is all politics local to you, even on the national level? Voting in a McCain will do nothing to make your life better...

and i'm not sayin' who should be your choice... but you don't give any good reasoning for who you already have chosen. And I'll even say this for McCain, I've admired the man in the past for bein' a war hero/victim, and for decidely taking the middle of the road on some issues at times... unlike now when he's clearly pandering to the right!! But that ain't enough to qualify the guy for my vote.

I meant to include this tidbit in my little rant above, which gave rise to my sayin' we're going to hell in a handbasket:

CBS Poll: 81% Say US On Wrong Track and i see the train a-comin!

The only reason I am for McCain is that I don't care for Hillary & I am so very leery of Obama. McCain's sadly the only other one left so I was forced into it. I'll vote for anything but a liberal lol. How I wish Ron Paul or Huckabee had made it. Too bad Pat Paulens not stiil living...

Cheryl, what does "liberal" mean? I really want to know your definition.

Care to explain the basis for these "feelings"?

Are you voting based on feelings?

How could you want more of the same? Bush lite?

100 years in Iraq is ok with you?

Please think about this.

You can write anybody in...I've been thinking about Arlo...

I still want to know what 'liberal' means to you, Cheryl, because I don't understand.

How can anyone vote for a man who says, "100, 1000 or 10,000 more years of war"? Peace is the only battle worth fighting and the only battle which can be won.

The word liberal - to me, means - free.

Cheryl....
