Senator B. Obama

Only one problem - he ain't on the committee.

Being a little harsh, aren't we? These two guys have been out
campaigning very hard, under very close scrutiny, for a very long time.
For every gaff Obama makes, I can give you one that McCain makes. Get
over it, one of these men will be the next POTUS. Obama may not be on
the Senate Banking Committee, but he was a sponsor of the Iran Sanctions
Enabling Act of 2007. In it, were provisions that were just passed by the
Banking Committee.

McCain is qualified: he was a P.O.W. Because of that, he knows that Iraq
and Afghanistan share a border.

Well, I've made up my mind not to get into political arguements, and
I'm not jumping into a fray now.

however I thought this article from the Chicago Tribune was
interesting.

all I can say is "maybe...maybe not"

beats me. I don't know.

I like McCain as a person, but he's just too far over the hill and I
think would be a dangerous choice for POTUS because of that and because
he is too closely wedded to the failed policies of the Bush Administration.

Obama speaks to 200,000 Germans today, and McCain visits a German

And the 200,000 Germans don't get a vote. Delicious.

I also respect McCain but am not sure he can put the right team together to
win an election, let alone run the country. So far his campaign seems to be
one of flying by the seat of his pants with little or no strategy or well
thought out plan.

Obama is a gifted speaker and is eloquent in his delivery, but so far
there's no beef to back up the beautiful words.

McCain is blowing it by shedding his "maverick" reputation and aligning
himself with many of the Bush administration policies, most likely at the
advice of his advisors who are concerned with losing some of the GOP base
support. IMO, he should speak *his* mind.

I am starting to believe, as another posted noted, that neither McCain or
Obama have the right stuff.

Overall, the Dems blew it, IMO, by having a primary season dominated by the
foolish infighting of two candidates.
There were other Democratic candidates much more qualified to be POTUS who
fell by the wayside due to the circus-like media focus on Hillary/Obama.

The GOP blew it also by ignoring some other decent candidates.

What to do .... what to do?

My thoughts has almost always been that of 'The truly best candidate for
the job probably doesn't want it". The process that our political
system has become, let's just say is ay too over-blown and dramatic.
Millions upon untold millions of dollars spent simply to get elected to
a job for 4 years? Absurd. I've always thought that money could go to
far better uses, just look around, schools need supplies, roads need
repair, etc., the list is almost as endless as the empty promises.

What to do? Unfortuntely it has come to the point where most people
probably tend to think of the 'lesser of two evils', than who is really
best suited for the job.

I will vote for McCain, simply because I believe it's irrational to vote
for Obama.

But, I won't be sorely disappointed if Obama wins. At least, then, there
will be a *real* Democrat, as opposed to liberal wannabee, at the helm.
When the ship lands on the rocks, where I believe it's headed with the
Democrats in control, a 'Republican' won't be taking the blame.

Of course, I also believe that once the Democrats get in control, they'll
buy, using your money and what little I've got, a power base of uneducated
big enough to ensure their control for a long time.

But, I'll be dead then and my grandkids can worry about it.

Which, I believe, is the reason Bush is in the White House right now.

Checking out anytime soon? Just wondering. You look a *lot* different
than you did the last time I saw you, a few years ago at the marina. You
aren't aging well.

I'm voting for McCain simply because harry is voting for Obama. I figure
whomever harry is voting for *MUST* be the wrong choice. He (harry) is
certainly an asset for the Democrats! g
