    "It's a shame that the media is the one helping people to make their decisions in elections."

    Like that never happens...?

    Listen, 'maturity', you aren't living up to your name/handle here. You sound more like a whining, petulant loser.

    There isn't enough difference between the policies of Obama and Hillary for you to vote for McCain. I guess, 'maturity', that you base your vote on something other than the fate of our nation and the facts of the matter.

    You base it on whether or not your feelings got hurt. You and every other McCain supporter, making the most immature decision you possibly could make in this circumstance.

    Get a life. And when you step into that voting booth, don't remember poor Hillary and how they treated her. Remember the LAST EIGHT YEARS and who is going to really give us a break. No third term!
