McCain/Palin ???

[Pam]

Sen Biden's son Beau is a Captain in the Delaware National Guard and
his unit has been called up. He leaves for Iraq in October. I'm pretty sure
Biden could make a big deal out of this by speaking publicly about his son
and Military service, but he doesn't.

It has been mentioned and even his son mentioned it at the Democratic Convention when he said he will be away at the time of the election and went on to explain. I think anyone heading to war is to be commended and it doesn't bother me if they mention it. God bless the troops - ALL of them! I think anyone who watched Biden's speech saw that he and his family are very close and his son is one special man. Let's hope that ALL of our people can come home very soon and stop counting how many times military service is mentioned.

Before I heard her speak, I was one of many people going, McCain picked who? I was hoping he would have chosen Mitt Romney. I work in a union-organized office where there are a lot of Obama fans. I'm still not sure who to vote for. McCain was looking a little old last night. Palin's point about Obama having written two memoirs, but no major legislation is an interesting one. He hasn't been in the Senate that long and our other senator (Durbin, also a Democrat) has some long coat tails for Obama to latch on to. I just want someone who can get us out of Iraq quickly and without a lot more young soldiers dying or being injured, figure out how to get us off of foreign oil, and improve health care.

AMEN! That's exactly what I would like to see.....but who will get that done? I'm honestly not sure, not at all.......

I am enjoying Cindy's speech very much I like her better than Sarah.

Hubby and I are HUGE Romney fans. If this election doesn't go in a desirable route I'm thinking of writing him in on my ballot.

Just read this over at CNN -

Barack Obama's campaign for president has raised $10 million since Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin spoke Wednesday night, the campaign announced, calling it a "one-day record."

Palin, the governor of Alaska, launched harsh attacks on Obama, accusing him of being two-faced and a political lightweight with no significant legislative accomplishments.

"Coverage of the Palin attacks on the news this evening just pushed us over $10 million," Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in an e-mail to reporters Wednesday night.

The Republican Party announced earlier in the day it had raised $1 million in the wake of Palin's speech.

So, are you calling me a fool?

For donating money to a political campaign?


Errr... I plead the 5th.


I see it akin to paying the idiot tax. (AKA, the lottery.)

These are just my opinions of course.

That spells Dem fear to me. They are worried now.

Count me in as another one who has never given a thin dime to a political party and who has no intentions to do so in the future. My son contributed to Ron Paul's campaign so I guess the apple sometimes does fall far from the tree.

There is the fear factor... But then there is...

A.) Political Ads annoy me and it is what most of that money is spent on. These ads cater to the lowest common denominator. The voter who can be swayed by a 30 second sound bite. Sad, eh?

B.) I thought the Democratic party was the party of the 'common' man. The 'common' folks have enough money in this (according to the Dems), 'terrible economy' to donate 10 MILLION dollars in one day? Or could it be they are taking money from George Soros type 537 organizations? Or even, *shudder* EVIL corporations?


Whatever... LOL Then there was that line from BO, bragging about how much money he has spent so far... Yeah, not so sure that is something a POTUS candidate should brag about, eh? LOL

Oh boy are you right. Yesterday I spent two hours in the car on a round-trip to see my mom. In that two hour period Obama came on the radio with the same ad 4 times and it made me angry more than anything. A nurse practitioner is the speaker in the ad and she says that McCain's view on abortion will cause pain and possible death to women. HOW ABOUT THE FETUS?? The woman does have a choice. Sorry for being so graphic, but she can choose a "coat hanger" or choose to have the baby and give it up for adoption. Should she die from her own attempt at aborting the baby she has brought it upon herself. The baby has no choice at all. If I hear this ad again I will scream! Oh and my "friend" Nancy Pelosi (thank you for the spelling correction Liz) sees nothing wrong with partial birth abortion. How absolutely evil and barbaric!

They drive me crazy - especially the robo calls. We got one on Sunday afternoon, from McCain. Give him credit, when I called back the number listed on our caller ID, we were offered a choice - push button #1 and our number would be placed on their do-no-call list.

One down, hopefully none to go.

After the last election I spent lots of time trying to get our names, addresses and phone number removed from the databases of both political parties. So far it appears that only the Democrats got the message.
