Palin has plenty in the bank: financial records

[JenBKR]

Joe Biden is one of the least wealthy senators (because he went into the senate when he was 30 and hadn't built up a lucrative law practice before).

Palin has implemented a lot of tax cuts in Alaska. She spends 80% less than her predecessor on her travel expenses and per diems. She's a diamond in the rough who's been tossed on to the national spotlight too soon. (Although personally, I do have issues with her politics)

John McCain is an American Hero! I cannot imagine giving up my chance to go home instead of enduring more years of brutal torture. Yet he did finish 6th from the bottom of his class in Annapolis.

Barack Obama is truely a leader of and for the 21st century. He taught constitutional law for 12 years and was the first african-american president of the Harvard Law review. He knows the pain of dealing with medical insurance. His mother died of cancer when she was 51.


I'm tired of the name-calling and hate and venom of the campaign. We need to look at who these people really are and then make our choices or we deserve what we get.

Fantastic post! I am not a very political person, but I do care about the issues. Unfortunately, candidates would rather bash the opposition than talk about the issues. Sort of sad, really...

McCain started throwing mud the minute he ran out of fresh ideas
to give the American people. Right now he's desperate to change the
subject from the economy, to character assassination & name calling.


Unfortunatly in today's political climate, Obama would damage his chances
by NOT responding to each & every negative charge made. No matter how
far fetched it may be.

Seems to me they all started throwing mud from the get-go. There's just so much negativity. And of course a candidate has to respond, but I think that Obama is doing more than responding...just my humble opinion. I just liked catland's post, as I am also tired of the name-calling and hate of the campaign (well, every campaign, they all seem to be this way anymore). It seems to me that there's so much name calling, accusations, and lies that it's hard to keep track of where the candidates actually stand on the issues. I intend to vote, but I am stil not sure who for. I am just not crazy about either of them. I should start a new thread - convince me to vote for 'your' candidate...WITHOUT talking about the other candidate at all!
