McCain for me. I don't agree with all his positions (e.g. immigration) but he certainly is a better fit for me than Obama. National security is one of my major issues and I feel much more confident with McCain. I also want my "Bush" tax-cuts to remain in effect.

Obama. had enough of Bush and all his Democratic friends.This country is worst off now than it has ever been. it will be four more years of the same thing that is happening now, foreclosures, mortage companies and banks failing, people losing everything. With Bush in office, I had to endure 3 jobs eliminations/resturcting so my pay was lowered, I am maxed out at my current positon, but with the ecomony the way it is there are no jobs out there. I will take my chances with Obama.

What is confusing? Perhaps if you read before you post you might understand. Oh wait I will go over it. The ecomony is the worst it has ever been, people are losing jobs , look today more and more companies are laying off are just going under. Perhaps where you live there are no FORECLOSURES, silly me to think that, But here where I live there are too many.

What is confusing is that you say "had enough of Bush and all his Democratic friends." Bush is a Republican. And as for foreclosures, sure, we have them. I feel real bad for people who have a champagne taste on a beer pocket book.

| I have to agree about the foreclosures. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I think far too many of the foreclosures are a result of people wanting a McMansion when they really could only afford a 60s ranch. Also, many people opted for adjustable rate mortgages which initally offered them very low rates, rather than a fixed rate mortgage. When we bought our first house, we were ignorant of how the system worked. We did, however, do a bit of research and figured out it would be more prudent to get a fixed rate that way our payments would not continually fluctuate. It's really just common sense.

1.Opposes embryonic stem cell research. Sorry but this has the pottntial to help people. 2. Pro-life and wants Roe vs Wade overturn. 3.Teach creationism alongside evolution in schools. There is a thing called the seperation of church and state I guess sarah miss that one. 4. Both her and Mccain support off shore drilling, sorry no and that is a big no. I do not want my state coastline populated with oil drilling platforms. Even if this happens do you realize that it would be 10 years before you would oil in the us. |

Pehaps you should read this: Sarah Palin on the Issues By the way perhaps should read this about matt Damo n he visited Haiti. The Associated Press: Matt Damon, Wyclef Jean visit Haiti city in ruins |

I know how Palin stand on the issues. . .what's your point? As far as Matt Damon. . .who cares really? Cindy McCain has been all over the world helping the poor and disadvantaged, but that's neither here nor there.

| Personally, I am Pro-life. I have my own personal reasons for feeling that way. I don't think Roe v. Wade will ever be overturned, no matter what side a particualr politicain takes on the matter. And I am fine with that. If our Supreme Court ruled that a woman has a constitutional right to an abortion, then so be it. Do I wish we lived in a world where no one would choose to have one? Yes, but that is just wishful thinking on my part.

I am Pro-Choice, One never know if Roe vs Wade will ever be overturned. But I am not going to elect a someone who supports overturning it. Just like I would never vote for someone just because they are a women like many here on this board are doing.
|
| ||||
| Good choice IMO actually. I have voted for Nader in the past, but now feel like that is kind of a waste. I looked into Ron Paul, but he's just too out there for me. I have a friend who usually voted Libertairian, but is not too impressed with their candidate this time, so she is voting McCain.

I have many gun owning friends that feel the same way you do. They won't vote for Obama, because of his stand on gun control. I'm not necessarily pro-gun, but I recognize the second amendment. Kind of how I feel about the Roe v. Wade thing.

Ok...so because millions of people didn't do their research and got "duped," what should be done? How is this a McCain v. Obama issue anyway? I consider it a poor choice issue for the most part. Where has personal responsibility gone? If you can't afford a $500k house, then dammit, don't try and get a mortgage for one - NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE ELSE TELLS YOU! If I went out and bought a Ferrari and then realized that oops, I can only afford a Focus (which I do have, thank you very much), should I expect other responsible tax payers to bail me out just because the finance company went ahead and financed it? It's all about the entitlement mentality that is far too prevalent in today's society. If I want a big house, then dammit, I'll get one. Screw that. Start out in a little starter house and work your way up the property ladder. I just heard some idiots on tv saying they want McCain to put up people in his houses because those people got forelcosed on, and gosh darnit, those people were trying to have a piece of the American Dream. The American Dream does not mean you are entitled to move into a gated community w/ an inground pool, or you need a 4 bedroom new construction house, etc. It means you can work hard and by doing so, you can improve your family and its way of living, but again, it's based on how hard you work, what you earn, etc. And, yet again, I'll point out that I know there are exceptions and not all foreclosures are based on poor choices.
