It is imperative that I mention these facts below to you. I welcome you all to do your own research on this or Google it. For a man to be an ex POW in Vietnam who has endured so much torture and punishment and who promotes “Country First” on his campaign, his history should lead him to do better for his fellow men and women in the Armed Forces but here are the FACTS below --- 1) For every GI Bill that is proposed to Congress in favor of more spending for the protection of our troops, both in Afghanistan and Iraq, McCain has voted AGAINST it and Obama has voted FOR it. 2) For every GI Bill that is proposed to Congress in favor of deploying more armor and artillery for our troops, both in Afghanistan and Iraq, McCain has voted AGAINST it and Obama has voted FOR it. 3) For every GI Bill that is proposed to Congress in favor of giving more compensation and more medical benefits to our injured troops returning from Afghanistan and Iraq, McCain has voted AGAINST it and Obama has voted FOR it. 4) For every GI Bill that is proposed to Congress in favor of giving more compensation to our veterans of all the past wars, McCain has voted AGAINST it and Obama has voted FOR it. Please look over these FACTS and do your own research. For a man to promote character, wisdom, and the love for his country; the facts don’t coincide with this man. This Election 2008 is a colorless election. It is about two human beings that want to lead our country, either in the right direction or in the wrong direction. We have lived the wrong direction for 8 years and have been in the wrong side of history throughout that time. Do we want to live it again?

Going to School should not be considered so big an accomplishment. I know plenty of morons with Certificates of Attendance...oops I mean Graduate Diplomas from Universities. A Law degree? I see that as a disqualification as he probably thinks he's better than the rest of us. Poly/Sci? Big whoopee. It just shows he's good at going to school. Obama hasn't reformed anything; he's a go along/get along Chicago machine politician. The only times the Press ever loves McCain is when he’s bashing Republicans.

I was struck by how totally unprofessional their behavior was. They should consider themselves fortunate to have suffered only a demotion. America may be ready for a black President, but I prefer to wait for a pioneer more like Thurgood Marshall or Jackie Robinson, as opposed to embarrassments like Alberto Gonzales and Nancy Pelosi. If you ignore Obama's race (as you <i>should</i>), then all that's left is a doctrinaire liberal demagogue. A word on education: I hold a M.Eng(EE) from an Ivy League university. I've been back a few times to interview seniors from the same school, and have been disappointed to learn that far too many of them (even those graduating with higher GPAs than I had) couldn't answer basic sophmore-level technical questions in interviews. An Ivy League education, by itself, isn't as impressive as most would have you believe. I watched clips on YouTube of Matthews and Olbermann’s RNC coverage.

Seems some want to call something experience while others want to call it something else. If you believe your candidate is the better, then just vote for em. But, if you want to observe & think through what each is proposing, NOT what some say they are proposing but what they are actually proposing, then do that. I intend to vote for the candidate whose proposals are the least intrusive to my life, the least taxing, & those that protect me & mine from those who would do us harm. On taxes.. if one thinks some are not taxed enough (including some extremely wealthy people), I ask.... why have these wealthy folk not sent checks into the Treasury Dept for the past 200 years? Its not like they'd refuse the money! Why do these folk use tax shelters, off shore accounts, foundations, endowments, etc. to avoid paying taxes? If wealthy should pay more then do it, don't spew babble about legislation & policy to force other folks to do it! Seems everyone is parsing everyone else’s words.

In the past year the anti-conservative movement has become increasingly vile and vulgar, from their attempts to shut down the USMC recruiting station in Berkeley and launching demonstrations at the funerals of American troopers killed in action (direct attacks on the men and women who serve and fight for this country and their families) to the blatantly filthy attacks against Gov. Palin and her family in the media the past two weeks. Shame on the liberal/left-wing machine which includes most of the main stream media (I've read that even Fox news has agreed to back off of Mr. Obama..is there anyone out there interested in the facts and the truth anymore?). All I can say is God-speed John McCain and Sarah Palin. There are many of us on your side and supporting you. Do the right thing for the right reasons at all times. It is really no wonder that the Democratic party wants to re-introduce the "Fairness" Doctrine to shut down conservative and Christian talk shows. They can't keep the truth bottled up any other way. In many ways this election is a turning point in American history. We have a chance to save this country and its Constitution by voting conservative, or we can kiss well over 200 years of freedom and liberty as we have known goodbye. That's the way I see this election. I'm more interested in the principles involved in the overall picture than I am in what the "government" can do for me personally. Anyone who thinks the government owes them a living has already subverted or totally relinquished their true freedom already. Deomcratic party equals big government equals big dependency equals socialism leads to big brother/communism/totalitarianism. It's another rung in the ladder. No thanks..not for me.

In other words, he has an ivy league education in both politics and the law." That's a turn off right there for me. I am tired of lawyers that become politicians. They are all sleazebags. And why do leftists think getting Ivy League degrees, especially in PS and Law, makes one prepared for anything? Ivy League degrees might have meant something 30+ years ago but for the last couple of decades these institutions have produced some of the dumbest people ever (anyone that buys into collectivism is a moron incapable of dealing with reality). Their greatest skill is to pass themselves off as knowing it all when they know absolutely nothing of value. Obama is not prepared to lead or run anything. He has had no successes. That is unless you think fooling so many people into seeing so much that is not there while missing the disaster that really is a success. Heck, I would be afraid to let this guy run the local PTA because he would likely screw that job up.
