John McCain has more then proven himself in what is morally right and sound, as is with Sarah Palin. Obama’s record of two years speaks for its self, zero accomplishments, except for voting to withhold support for our soldiers. He speaks volumes, but with NO experience or substance in truth. A man who openly speaks against God’s word!

You judge the following:

These are the people who are vested in this country and have always known accountability for their actions. Their actions come from deeply seeded experiences that benefit their community.

Therefore, McCain / Palin do not do business with unsavory characters, not wittingly, they don’t have to…they know they can count on themselves to make a difficult decision for the correct reasons – to benefit all of us as a nation.

Democrats:
Obama became more focused at Harvard, but he had been learning life in an unstable background. As an adult, his deceit of using someone for campaign funds (to get elected) is transparent, esp. denying that association while living in the house purchased with these contribution $$$ and then disavowing consort with this criminal type, by returning funds he no longer needed after elected.
The deed was already done.

I, too, have followed Obama for some time and read his writings. I also catch his interviews when I can and also watch his stump speeches. But I look at his emotional tone.

You said:

“Obama is eloquent and intelligent, but he does not seem rooted in anything. For two years I’ve looked for signs of integrity and character, but he always seems blown by the wind. I don’t think that even Barack Obama knows who Barack Obama is.”

I disagree in part with this statement. I, too, see Obama as eloquent and intelligent, and agree he seems to be unrooted, but he is not. The question is what is he rooted in?

Also, I think he knows who he is. He knows what he needs to be. He just doesn’t have the emotional tools to get there.

What I see is a man who is terribly plagued by anxiety, an anxiety that is so intense that it shapes many of his responses when he is confronted with anything. He seems incapable of self-soothing and quieting down that anxiety. Crowd adoration does quiet down that anxiety for him temporarily, and gives us a glimpse of who he would be without it. He is at his best at those times.

Unfortunately, when he is faced with the hard questions, when he is confronted, because he can’t self-soothe, he ends up flip-flopping around until he hits a chord that gives him some reflected self-worth from his audience. Hence his triplicate (different) answers to every criticism or major question, and his propensity to want to please and placate the people/person he is speaking to. I think he wants to stand firm. He just can’t.

This is a major character difference between him and McCain and, in comparison, why John McCain seems so much more capable. Some people find John McCain to be not quite exciting enough, but I just see him as a lot less excitable than Obama.

Obama looks like the person who emotionally can’t afford to fly off the handle, no matter the provocation, without first getting a consensus on the matter. And he seems to cut his own legs off at the knees when he’s confronted. And that seems to reflect self-doubt and fear of rejection, which is the force behind all that anxiety.

McCain, on the other hand, has a temper, but he can hold his own in a gale and continue to fight for what he believes in. And he seems to be able to pick his fights well. John McCain has a quiet certainty of his own self-worth and his own personal power. It gives him the ability to become appropriately indignant and express that in real time. I don’t see that quality in Obama.

The only time you see Obama express his irritation is when the crowd is held way off away from him behind gates, and he has a mic in his hand and no way to see or sense up close reactions. When he is face to face and confronted he placates and agrees with his detractor and then disagrees and explains his position. In small intimate crowds that are not hand picked, Obama is tentative and unsure even when not answering questions.

So, policies aside, I believe that Obama is unsuited at this time to be a world class leader. He really doesn’t have the character strength necessary to lead America in this complex world.

That doesn’t mean he will never be ready! I fully believe that a man who is this driven can succeed. But he needs to start at home and do the work necessary to lay whatever demons he has from his past to rest. Without that I can’t see him building the kind of character that is necessary to do lead this nation effectively.

John McCain was lucky to be blessed with adversity when he was at the right age to be strong enough to work his way through his issues. And he did it in a way that built his character to what we see today.

And I think people are resonating with that.

It didn’t happen. Instead, he foolishly decided to cater to his own whims and his own hurt feelings caused by what he felt were harsh criticisms and maybe even untruths. He arrogantly believed that no matter who he picked, he would still win…..the Clinton supporters would cry, whine and argue, but in the end they would come like sheep back into the fold. He didn’t care what was best for the country…..he just wanted to be president on HIS terms, staying as far away from the Clintons as possible.

Hillary, on the other hand, is gracious beyond belief. She is doing what she can, putting the PARTY AND COUNTRY first and herself second. She would have made a tremendous president OR vice president. But, Obama’s hurt feelings, immaturity and arrogance made that impossible.

I haven’t voted Republican since Reagan’s second term. I just couldn’t see Mondale in the big chair, and the fact that he chose a woman as his running mate didn’t matter to me….he wasn’t right to be president. So, I crossed over to the other side. It wasn’t easy, and it bothered me for weeks, but in the end I punched that “Reagan” ticket. I was undecided until the very last second before tossing my beliefs to the wind and doing it.

Now, I find myself in the same position. It hurts, it’s gut wrenching, and I probably won’t be sure of my choice until I walk into that booth, just like I did 24 years ago.

Yes, the candidates are very different. One stands for the things I believe in (except for late term abortion), but he is the one I truly dislike. The other’s stance on the economy is opposite to the one that I consider necessary to solve our problems, but I LIKE him! Argh…..Heaven help me…..heaven help the country.

I had about decided I was going to vote McCain. Then he choose Palin, and I was excited about getting to vote for her. Then I watched his speech, and I am excited to vote for him!! I wanted to stand up and yell along with him there at the end! I donated money, I am going to volunteer, the whole works. Talk about a real man!!

a vet. friend of mine said the other day “i don’t always agree with John McCain BUT I WOULD FOLLOW HIM INTO HELL”

as C.I.C. John McCain gets it. and our military knows he gets it.

HOORAH”

McCain pushed to close the POW/MIA investigations to normalize trade relations with Vietnam. What does he “get”?
