I laugh when people imply they will 'hold their nose' and vote McCain! If you support high gas prices, wars with Russia and Iran, and helping get more jobs to China, then by all means vote for McCain and be glad about it. If you're voting McCain because you so hate Obama for beating Hillary, Uh, OK, you're a child. Guess what? I am a registered independent who never in a million years would vote for either Hillary or McCain. Why? Because they are self-serving kajillionair morons! Sure Obama may be as self-serving as anyone, but at least he wants to make his mark by doing something big for the country, not just big business. As a small business owner, I will get a tax CUT under Obama, and a tax increase under McCain. Both have already made their positions clear. The alleged Hillary supporters reveal why we are lucky she didn't win; It's all about her/them, and screw everyone else. Plus, she wouldn't have a chance against McCaine.
Belly - My father flew fighter jets in Viet Nam. During his 23 year career, he did not crash a single plane, mush less get shot down and confess to war crimes. (Yes, if you accept the Guantanamo confessions, you have to accept McCaine's). My father passed away some years ago. The man my mother has been with since that time once held the record for the most combat missions flown in SE Asia in an F-4 Phantom. I say SE Asia, as that includes VN, Cambodia, Laos and he even chased Migs into Chinese airspace once! Again, he never crashed a single plane. McCain got to where he was because of his father. He was a crap soldier and a lousy pilot. He got to where he is because of his newer, hotter, much richer wife. If someone is supposed to keep me safe, I'd prefer it not be the guy who got shot down first time out.
Oh, and 911 happened on Bush/McCaine's watch.
