Palin - McCain

Like the war we are in in Iraq, I mean no disrespect to our veterans, I just don't believe in their having to be in Iraq. I think that this administration which McCain has been very proud to have been a part of untill now has had thier shot for 8 years and not done very well by me. Lets let the other guys have a shot, checks and balances. I can't say I didn't do well under Clinton because I did and I have been beat up by Bush. If you haven't then I think maybe that is why we seem to look at things differently. I am speaking to no one inparticular nor mean to offend.

Are you saying you actually believe the manure that the democrats and their cohorts in the media have been spreading about how we are losing in Iraq? 90% of the country has been stable since the fall of Saddam's regeime. Two of the most notoriously violent areas, the Anbar province and the "triangle of death" in Baghdad, have been completely secured and turned over to the Iraqis. Commanders on the ground have stated that one of the reasons that the mission became so much more difficult was that the help that our troops had been getting from the Iraqi people had ceased because the Iraqis were afraid we were going to abandon them and leave them to the revenge of the terrorists. Where do you think they got that idea? From the very guys who you want to "give a chance" who have been actively working to secure the defeat of our troops in the war because they though it would benefit them politically. They undeniably cost the lives of American soldiers to further their agenda and I do not believe in rewarding treachery and treason with my vote.

McCain has been a proud member of the Bush administration? Try convincing the Bush administration (or most republicans) that is the case. McCain has been probably the biggest thorn in their side since 2000.

You give Presidents way to much credit for having the power to affect you. Congress has far more ability to affect you and you did better under the republican Congress of the 90s, which was far more conservative than anything we have seen since 2000 under either party.

Back in 2000, the Bush administration was warned that Fanniemae and Freddiemac were out of control because of insufficient oversight. They, and some of the republican Congress, made repeated attempts to push through more firm regulation of those entities but were blocked in every attempt by the democrats and a handful of liberal republicans. There were 40 democrat Senators who were prepared to filibuster any attempt at regulating those entities. Since 1989 there have been almost 400 members of Congress who have received large sums of cash from Fanniemae and Freddiemac. Although he has only been in Congress for the last 2 of those 19 years (and spent almost all of that time campaiging for President) Obama has received the second largest amount of money from them, second only to fellow Democrat Chris Dodd. The head of his Vice Presidential Choice committee, Jim Johnson, and his top financial advisor, Franklin Raines, were recent heads of Fanniemae and Freddiemac who made tens of millions of dollars running those corrupt entities for a few short years. And now you want to "give them a chance" to run our whole economy? Please start doing your homework. Sorry to be so brash about this but it is that important. Obama is arguably the least qualified, most corrupt candidate ever to run for the office. It simply stuns me that anyone could consider him even as a choice, much less as the best choice.
