Or how about the fact that Obama is more interested in being popular around the world than being an actual proud american. (note my sig) Obama is in this for himself, not for the benefit of the country. (I'm sure many of you would love to debate that opinion, but we all know, what I am saying is going in one ear and out the other. This site has proven that when it comes to democrats, it doesn't matter what is said, you are sheep for your candidate. Fact is, the last 3 democratic candidates have been piss poor at best, when exactly are the Dems going to throw up a good candidate?)
How anyone can not be moved by Fred Thompson's speech is beyond me. That was a great speech that had people crying in their seats. One of the best speeches in recent memory at a RNC. 5 1/2 years he was in a POW camp with broken bones, breaking ribs, pure torture, yet he didn't give them ANY info...he didn't break AT ALL, including refusing to go home because other people had been there longer than he has. I seriously doubt that Obama has that kind of strength and character. Obama gets upset when you talk about his kids (even though he showboats them any time possible) but the second McCain selects Palin, they are quick to attack her pregnant daughter. This is a vice presidential candidate here...it's fair play I suppose, but don't bitch and moan about your ability to father your kids then turn around and attack a VP candidate's daughter.
ps- country first could also mean not allowing a 3rd trimester abortion to die in a linen closet with no medical attention like Obama would prefer. |
i don't think anyone on this board questions john McCain's heroic efforts during war. but his politics, and policies are eerily similar to our current administrations. those same policies have done nothing but damage our economy, damage our good standing thru out the world, and make the bridge between the haves, and the have nots bigger then ever. as a country we are more divided then ever. we are looking for something new. while i may not really know what Obama will do, if he wins the white house. i am willing to try something that is definitely different then the same old status quo, that John McCain offers. and with your P.S. about obama and abortion, i would like a link, because i have heard him support was the women's right to choose. this seems like a radical view against Roe vs. Wade( the same that McCain vows to overturn)
