So was Harry T. but he got his point across and was generally respected for it. Don't we all get a little impatient and quick tempered at times. Whether we like McCain or not, he's the best choice at this time.

Saying "He is the best choice" might sound comforting to some.....but let's use a different analogy...

Let's say our choices were Hitler, Bin Laden and Farrakhan....since LF never actually plotted and killed off people he might be our best choice.....

My point is saying he is the best choice does not make him the best for America. It just makes him the best choice out of what we have to choose from.

It's sad when Americans are voting for Obama because he is black and "fresh" and for McCain because he is not a Democrat....

Is either one really qualified? My problem with McCain and why I think he is going to have trouble against the Dem candidate is his waffling seemingly to garnish more republican votes.....and his temper. They are going to focus on that hard

[SOUNWORTHY]

I'd vote for a good black candidateor a good democrat if there was one running..at least we know where McCain comes from and even what Hillary really stands for but we don't know what Obama stands for except change and we may not like that change. The Isrielites wanted a change when Saul was anointed king and they got it but it wasn't good for them.

.....and that is soooo true! I just don't trust him.... I have never really trusted politicians to be completely honest in dealings... That is just a given... But ya know when you just have this gut feeling that says, "this is wrong, this is wrong, this is wrong..." That is how I feel.....and it's not the color of his skin.... I think it is the color of his heart!

Most people who aren't familiar with Obama don't know what his ideas are. Here's a link to the issues he's wanting to address...

http://www.barackobama.com/issues/

I've said this before, but in my opinion McCain is a flip flopper who's political perspective changes when it suits his political gain. His past and his record, in my opinion, makes him a phony conservative. Not to mention he cheated on his wife of 14 years and left her for his current wife. So I really don't like him. I believe that if McCain wins it will only ruin the Republican Party because his policies and initiatives will take the Republicans further to the left. And McCain's policies are just continued Bush policies with a little more corporatism. So he's just offering "Bush Administration III". It would be better if he were his own man.

Hillary is just promising "Clinton Administration III". Her focus appears to be health care and continuing the Clinton legacy.

Obama....Obama is upfront about his liberal beliefs. We might disagree with him here on a couple things but he's not pretending to be something he's not as McCain is. Obama isn't offering us "Bush III" or "Clinton III", Obama offers us something brand new, a break from both Bush and Clinton policies. Obama offers us an "Obama Administration". Obama is sincerely wanting to change the tone and tenor of our nation. Right or wrong, Obama is far more sincere than Hillary or McCain in my opinion.

So if you don't want to see "Clinton III" and you don't want to see "Bush III", the only candidate that offers a break from all of this is Barack Obama.

Here is Barack Obama on Faith in Politics (there are videos):

Lately, the buzz about McCain's temper has started to hit the papers again. There are several areas in where he will be hit hard once the Presidential race is in full swing. His age, his flip-flopping, voting record and his temper. Many Republican generals, some retired, have stated that they would not want to have him as their Commander and Chief. In fact, many of them have left the Republican party because of him winning the Republican nominee, because they are so afraid of his response in time of crisis.

"I like McCain. I respect McCain. But I am a little worried by his knee-jerk response factor, I think it is a little scary. I think this guy's first reactions are not necessarily the best reactions. I believe that he acts on impulse." said retired Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton, who was in charge of training the Iraqi military from 2003 to 2004.

"I studied leadership for a long time during 32 years in the military," said retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Scott Gration, a one-time Republican who is supporting Obama. "It is all about character. Who can motivate willing followers? Who has the vision? Who can inspire people?" Gration asked. "I have tremendous respect for John McCain, but I would not follow him."

"One of the things the senior military would like to see when they go visit the president is a kind of consistency, a kind of reliability," explained retired Gen. Merrill McPeak, a former Republican, former chief of staff of the Air Force and former fighter pilot who flew 285 combat missions. McPeak said his perception is that Obama is "not that up when he is up and not that down when he is down. He is kind of a steady Eddie. This is a very important feature," McPeak said. On the other hand, he said, "McCain has got a reputation for being a little volatile." McPeak is campaigning for Obama.

McCain's outbursts have only occasionally been captured by the press. The most recent episode appeared to have occurred last May, when McCain was embroiled in immigration reform negotiations with Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas. Cornyn accused McCain of "parachuting" in on the negotiations. During the heated exchange that followed, McCain screamed "***k you!" at Cornyn, according to news reports at the time. McCain later apologized.

Obama is a family man, is even-tempered, a professing Christian, a visionary and a man of peace who has a history of helping his community, yet people would vote for McCain who has no self-control, no clear stance or history regarding conservative values, record of lashing out and verbally abusing others and a proven womanizer/adulterer (cheating on two of his wives)? I just don't get it.... Oh, right, it's his name...

Many Christians have been socially conditioned by the Republican Party and the "sit & rant" Right Wing Media that they are the only choice for the Christian.

Republicans don't care one bit about Christians. Republicans see us as useful idiots that they can use and manipulate to get votes to keep power.

As long as you vote for who you believe will be the best President of the United States you've done well Pressing. Vote your heart. But at the same time...we all should try not to ridicule or question the Christian faith of those who may not agree with us politically. I'm preaching to myself here too.

Good points by Fred Barnes on Mitt being McCain's running mate.

According to his arguments, the Mittster been thoroughly vetted by the probing press in the course of his presidential campaign, and his strong performance in debates and on the stump highlights his skill as a formidable campaigner. His business background also helps in handling the crucial economic management issues where McCain himself claims little expertise. Finally, and most importantly, his record as a serious presidential contender, an internationally acclaimed Olympics savior, and a successfully governor creates no “stature gap”. No one in press or public would ask “Mitt Who?” with the sort of surprise and bewilderment with which they might respond to the choice of a lesser known sitting governor (Pawlenty, Sanford, Palin, Jindal, even Crist) as McCain’s Veep.

In view of Mitt Romney’s deft pivots on a wide range of issues as he geared up for his presidential run, there’s little doubt that he can re-adjust once again to back up McCain if he’s given a place on the ticket. They already agree on most of the big issues (conduct of the war, peace through strength, cutting taxes and spending, defending human life, protecting gun rights, and so forth). On other issues where there’s been disagreement between them (campaign finance reform, Guantanamo, immigration reform) Mitt can either agree to back up McCain’s positions or else remain silent.

Im old school. I think the best play is a southern governor. Crist is my pick.

Mitt has some solid postives. He makes a nice omage to the conservitives while not being overtly too far right.

That usually works - the southern governor. I know Crist is the one they named from the beginning.

This comes from Fred Barnes who is a warmonger and a neo-con! He is one of the gang of the far right who has no problem sending young men and women to fight in a war built on lies!

Barnes was a promoter and has been a continued supporter of the US war in Iraq. 3] He has been called the "Last Bush Loyalist" for his continued loyalty to George W. Bush by Slate.com columnist Timothy Noah.

Madam, if you are going to call Fred Barnes a whoremonger, you had best provide documentation.

if it is the case then fine, but to date, I have never heard that.

Fred Barnes is the bomb! Very intelligent man! I love listening to him!!!!

BARNES: Yeah, I doubt that she'll (Hillary) pick him. You know, I've thought for a long time that Obama's not in quite as strong a position on the war in Iraq as he really thinks he is. Remember, when he famously came out against the war, it was back in a time when the entire world believed that Saddam Hussein in Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, that he would probably be willing to use them himself at some time or pass them along to terrorists who would use them. And yet, Barack Obama was against going to the war at that point. I don't think that shows that he is very strong on national security, which he needs to be. But that argument's not going to be used against him in the Democratic primaries. It would, however, by Republicans in a general election.

Truth! Has Obama pegged!
