I have reservations about McCain but I certainly think he's more qualified than Obama.  I don't know much about Palin, but at a surface glance I am optimistic about her.  I agree that we will see change.  I'm not a Republican, but I do see that the R party has been very progressive in regards to staff choices, and that didn't start with McCain.

I agree, interesting!

I think that by picking Palin, McCain was able to steal some of the thunder that was set around the Democrat battles between Obama and Hillary where people felt they had the option of a woman in the presidency. Now that he has given the poeple the choice of a woman in a top position again, he can possibly capitalize on the anger between the Hillary supporters and Obama.

His Royal Higness Obama released a vid calling Palin 'more of the same.' This is the first female VP in the history of the GOP.

Continuing the grand tradition of "If you insist it and repeat it often enough, even if not true, some people will believe it."

And this is Obama's idea of 'change.'

I always wondered when the word 'elite' became a bad word.  Aren't the people that run this country supposed to be some form of elite?  I mean, I don't want some average jackass trying to be president...much like we've seen with Bush, that doesn't help much.

Zoo, it depends on if they are elite because of their intelligence and accomplishments or because of the privileges they have been afforded.  We don't want to be "ruled by" an elite group.  We want a government that will work "for us".

I'm probably on my own with this thought, but I think an "average jackass" would probably do a way better job.

I doubt the founding fathers would consider themselves "average jackasses."  I think Jill is half-right; government should lead and work with us.

Neither.  He's just a politician even though he pretends he is above it that is exactly what he is. 

LOL, nice try.  He actually said those words, huh?  Dislike him for some substantial reasons, not exaggerated assumptions and misconceptions.

Nice try to you.

Obama also said a light would come down from somewhere and tell you to vote for him (hence the Messiah complex).  I have been a responsible person my entire life and it has payed off.  My husband and I take care of our own family, we invest for our future so we can continue to take care of our own family (the way we want to) and my husband works his ass off to not only have the lifestyle he wants but also to provide good, rewarding jobs for many others.  I don't need to have some pompous, self proclaimed savior to come in and tell me I have too much so we need to have stuff taken away to give to not only those who are perceived and "poor" here in our country but to give billions to other countries.

He was just using the Spanish language as an example.  Why must people see things so black and white all of the time?  Spinning everything a person says to have a negative connotation seems to me like you're searching for reasons to dislike him or to verify your lame opinion that he wants to be a dictator.
