IF YOU'RE FEELING SICK AT THE MERE THOUGHT THAT VOTES WILL BE CAST FOR McCAIN and PALIN

THEN YOU AND I HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON

By the way, where was John McCain's patriotic flag pin? And where was the media flack about him not wearing one for the debate? Maybe, POW's aren't open to the haranguing that Barack received over not wearing a piece of medal on his lapel.

It is a mystery how anyone can cast a vote for these two. McCain and Palin. Especially after 8 years of a republican administration.

"What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach, so you get what we had here last week which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it. And I don't like it any more than you men."

What we've got here is not only a recession of the economy but of intellect in the United States of America. If you have developed your intellect and are deeper than a shallow bucket, you are called an elitist with negative connotative implication.

What we have got here is people lacking minds that can apply critical thinking.

Our republican Presidential candidate Senator John McCain graduated 894th out of 899 at the Naval Academy. He joked that Eisenhower - at his graduation - asked to shake hands with the lowest ranked graduate and if he, John McCain, had just done worse he could have shaken hands with Eisenhower.

If
McCain-Palin win this election, the same pool of people will be drawn from for cabinet positions and Supreme Court Justices and we will have two self-proclaimed, word-toting mavericks priding their way through left-overs. Left-overs of our shredded U.S. Constitutional rights and international credibility.

It has been interesting - the day after the debate. Because I have increasingly felt better about Barack's performance the day after. Not so much because of my internet perusing or listening to the pundits. Frankly, the pundits bother me. Their read on how it went only carries more weight than mine, because they are on the screen spouting off. But because what has stuck with me about what Barack said is better than how I was feeling during the debate. I wanted Senator Obama to stop being defensive on the economy and make offensive statements too. I wanted him to say the debt amount that we have been building up over the Iraq war waaaaaay before he finally said it in an almost passing way. It is the one time I cheered outloud when he finally said it. More could have been said about our HUGE debt to China and Japan. But, on the whole Senator Obama was carrying many layers of pressure on his shoulders and did a fine job.

I went looking for posts about the reaction from those outside the USA and came up with this one:

I found this What McCain Didn't Do At the Debate: Force a Sarah Palin Moment
and felt better after reading the comments.

Yes, I am worried about closet and openly discriminative white vote that would rather vote for the devil than Barack Obama. The other day I read some comment on Youtube saying she wasn't racist, but she would never vote for Obama and to prove it she named three black people she would vote for. I only remember two names: Bill Cosby and Al Sharpton. Seriously, Barack is by far more qualified than these two. Just because a white person says that they aren't a racist is no measurement.

Plain talk

Senator McCain speaks to us about what we should fear and shows us how to put-down others such as Senator Obama in his own actions. From the way he runs his campaign we see his governing style will be from impulsiveness and has no real vision to move us in incremental ways to a better future.

Senator Obama speaks to us of how it can be better within our own country and how to maintain a level-headedness about huge problems. And Senator Obama illustrates how to maintain rare decency in the world of politics while letting us see his thoughtful way of governing
by the way he runs his campaign.

I see a mantra from some im-posters around the blogs, which is that Barack Obama is an empty suit who is a lot of hot air. I disagree. We know an empty suit. He has been President for the last 8 years. It will be a mistake to put McCain into that same suit.

Just some straight talk
