First let me just say that everyone is differnt and has a differnt, Social, Financial and perosnal life. I like John McCain because I perosnally belive that he is the most qualified for the job. He is a War Veteran. Weare in a time of war.I like his policy because he is looking to cut taxes. I belive that he will do good for the economy. I am self employed and so is my wife. Lot of my beliefs are in the financial end of politics. We dont to see things handed out for free to those who dont work hard for things.(Obama's Marxism)Also we dont like to see things taken from those who work hard and given to those who are not willing to put forth the time and effort.

Let mejust saythat I have typically voted Democrat and over the last 8 years I have never been more proud of that fact.This election though actually had me on the fence until McCain gave us Palin. What a joke! This woman is nothing more then a pupet with a vagina being used to gather up votes because he wasn't bringing anything to the table and was loosing ground. Now he is asking america to believe she is a serious addition to the ticket. Just ask yourself a question. If something happens to John are you willing to give the nuclear attack codes to some babe with a degree in communications from 5 different average schools obtained over a 6 year period? When I was in college those girls were just trying toparty away from home and find a husband. I actually heard John say that he believed she is qualified to run the country if something happeded to him. Now that is a line of bulls#$t that even a blind man should be able to see from a mile away. We are being treated like mindless children and as of that moment I lost all of my respect for the man. If he actually believes what he said then he is an idiot with judgementso poor it defiesexplanation. If he was lying through his silly grin then I can no longer trust him for a second. In either case he is off the list. So what do you think? Would you give her the codes? Really?

palin isn't a perfect public speaker, but at least she has experience of getting her hands dirty. I don't want a 'community organizer' with no executive experience running our government, and I surely don't want a public figurehead who thinks he knows how to fix the economy, but doesn't even have a single degree in accounting, finance or economics.

Do you honestly think you'll still have your job when Obama raises business taxes in a recession? Let me inform you that they'll quickly be moving overseas. And what makes Obama any better with nuclear codes than Palin? Obama has no foreign relation experience besides a vacation in Iraq. He wants to sit down with Ackmadinajhad (sp) and tell him 'no, you can't do that' when he admits Israel is a stinking corpse? Please! Get real!

I agree that the economic "engine is broken". The companies have to be able to survive in a favorable environment, and cannot "withstand" any higher taxes.Almost any generalaccounting statistics showthat many companies squeeze out a mere 3% net proffit, with the exception of oil and insurance. I also do not believe that the people of the country can withstand any higher taxes either. News reports that 7 million citizens have been made homeless, and this is the group that made up the mortgage meltdown.The next layer of 125 million are currently paying "half" of their income to rent and are in an economically precarious position. Higher taxes, costs, or takings on this group would certainly cause a meltdown. The problem I have with politics is that people are very self-foccused when it comes to decision making, instead of thinking of the economy as a "balanced system". There is an old metaphor about tapping sap from a rubber tree; a certain amount is sustainable, but take too much and the tree dies. Now I do not think that taxation caused this situation, but I do feel that as a nation the US is spending way more than it is earning, and it is earning in terms of value-adding, value-creation, much less than it has in quite a while. Now at any level, if you spend more than you make, you go broke.

Why don'twe just elect Dennis Kucinich. When he was mayor in '77 the population of Cleveland was greater then Alaska is now. He has years of experience and is certainly more qualified then the babe with the degree in communications and a beauty pageant win. I'm sorry, I am just being a wise guy. You must be right. How canI have been so silly as tocompare her credentials to man with a degree in law from Harvard and 17 years in law and government supported by another man with 39 years of government experience. What was I thinking?Wait! I got an even better idea. Why don't we just elect Bob from the hardware store? He is a really nice guy and hemanaged a summer camp once. I hear he and Betty ( a neighbor) even sponcered a cubscout group that collected money for new soccer shirts for all the kids.They did so well there was enough money left over to buy pizza for everybody. I bet-chathe two of themcould fix the national economy and get us right back on track. That's who I am voting for. Lets here it for BOB and BETTY!

What are you talking about? The main reasons I am voting for McCain are the following

-Nuclear energy: clean, safe, hightech jobs, lots of power
-Offshore drilling: China is currently tapping our oil in the gulf. We could eliminate income tax as a whole if we exported this.
-Lower taxes to everyone: including the wealthy who do the majority of investing into the business you work at.
-End government corruption: Palin and McCain are a perfect match. Palin will likely fire Pelosi and eBay congress!
-Less spending: Obama has proposed 300 billion in new spending. McCain has suggested 98 billion.

The reasons why I object to Obama are the following

-Higher taxes all around: To the investors to the businesses, right in the middle of a recession
-Doesn't support drilling: wants to check my tires basically, solar panels and wind simply aren't good enough compared to nuclear
-Gov controlled healthcare: they have failed with social security, what makes you think they can do healthcare? LOL
-Foreign policy: doesn't have a clue. wants to tell communist leaders they can't do certain things without force. LOL

Both Rasmussen and Gallup indicate a trend toward 'experience and prosperity'over a 'Chicago politician'. We shall see soon, but need I remind you of the definition of facism and socialism. Who wouldn't want change right?

I got a kick out of Obama's Socialist ideas. The economy is in bad shape as is and many people are just getting by day by dayand he wants to propose 300billion in new spending.(Then Liberals wonder why there is no middle class)Also his lack of experience compared to McCain.I still wonder how he even got this far in the election.

I have no opinion yet on who will win. But I am getting tired of getting Obama emails in my account for forwardings.
I started deleting them last week.
Whoever gets in office. There won't be change.
Like both parties are saying in their ads.
