Well, I'm American...and I can tell you that I certainly did not and would not vote for George Bush or McCain.

In fact, the Yanks as you call us did not vote for Bush. The American election is nothing but a sham. The people's vote doesn't truly count. If it did, Bush would have never been elected in the first place. Now this idiot is trying to start World War 3 by placing missiles in Russia's backyard. Sickening! Disgusting!

Pray to God that Obama will win. He's the lesser of two evils. (Unfortunately, the people in power have already chosen McCain, the warmonger)

the scumbag leadership will never allow a black man in office. America is corrupt and evil and one of the most violent countries in the world

Obamination is a mindless, Marxist fraud who doesn't have the qualifications to run a popsicle stand, let alone a nation. Let's all hope for the good of America he gets nowhere near the White House. People who say he's got it tied up apparently don't know how to read polls. And of course as we see in this thread already, if you don't support him you'll be labeled a racist.

Obama's speech was a laundry list of vague, socialist ideals. This man couldn't get specific about what he plans to screw up if his life depended on it. America is the greatest country in the world, but will take a serious blow if this moron Obama is put in charge.

If McCain is able to remember his acceptance speech, it will includes many references to his time as a POW. He has beaten that dog to death. Interestingly, though, he has legally blocked his military record from being released. Odd move for a "hero", eh? It turns out that other than getting shot down and captured, he didn't do anything he would want you to know about - graduated at the bottom of his class (like George W Bush), lost 5 airplanes, and got a lot of perks from his old man, the Admiral.

Now he has chosen a beauty pageant winner for a VP mate.

America has already taken a very serious blow from the republican party and Bush/Cheney. We won't fix that by putting a geriatric in office who admits he doesn't know much about economics. Believe him, he doesn't.

No maybe it's a problem that "anyone can become president" - the fact that an unaccomplished empty-suit radical like Obama could become president proves it for sure. This guy's resume is shorter than mine and he's nearly twice as old.

Just like Hillary said, Obama's credentials for the job include a speech he gave in 2002. God help us if this putz gets elected. The good news is that he would only be a one-off Jimmy Carter administration. Then get ready for the face below, a real American who will be president:

croozn, since YOU are the one who mentioned some connection between the USG and my so-called 'visit' here, I suggest you shut the hell up. You don't know why I'm here and you never will. So believe whatever fantasies you want about me - heck, that's what you do regarding everything else.

If you could extract yourself from your left-wing bubble, you might find that this election is neck-and-neck in national polls and that McCain has closed the electoral gap as well. And that's all before his VP pick, which will add more independent, conservative and Hillary supporters to his camp. You either aren't paying attention to current events, or you're a political novice. I suspect the latter.

As for the economy and Obama, a few words from someone who's piss has more economic expertise than Obama's entire campaign combined:

By the way, you left out the best quote in that article: The audacity of hype.

Clever.

I haven't learned enough about the man to comment much, but what I will say is what an orator!

BTW Blitz, just to save you the effort, you are on my ignore list.

I can't believe that someone who claims to be a political genius would suggest that McCain's VP pick would give him a bump in the polls. Historically no one votes for the VP. eg. George senior got elected with Danny boy on his ticket and he was universally accepted as a complete idiot.

If Charlton Heston hadn't died this year he would soon be the right ago to run for president for the republicans. Everybody already know all there is to know about McCain and Obama so I just want to say that electing McCain is going to be a mistake right up there with re-electing GW Bush. We need to see some visions from a country that once was loved but now is seen as a dinosaur.

I agree with you completely. If for no more reason than to raise the opinion of the U.S. around the world it would be a good idea to elect Obama. JFK was not a good president but he was seen world wide as vigorous and youthful and bringing fresh ideas to the table(whether he did or didn't this was the attitude). I think the election will be close and Americans are seen as favoring underdogs. There are too many examples of this to list them all, but Jimmy Carter comes to mind. If Obama is elected he will have the toughest job as President of the 43 before him. He will have to please the minorities and appease the majority and he will take many hits from all sides. He will be seen as an Uncle Thom and the N word will be used frequently. I'm just thankful that the U.S. President is not the end all and be all of American politics. He is just a cog in the machine and his policies can be defeated when they are truly bad for the country. Democracy at work. The entire world should embrace it.

It doesn't really matter who is president when it comes to world opinion of the US. Many will hate us no matter what because we're the best. And in the end it doesn't matter what the rabble of the world think; most world leaders understand the importance of America and will work with her regardless of pinhead left wingers whose goal is to undermine the US.

So the decision should be made based on who will strengthen America, keep it on the right course regarding those things that are right, and correct those things that aren't. Obama is not that person. He will only further the erosion of what has made America great.

The Gallup Poll has Obama leading by 6%. Virtual dead heat, though Obama did gain a little in the last few days.

I think the Dems will find a way to lose this, they are getting really good at it.

Prepare for a 72 year old Bush-clone president who has a stroke in office and hands the world over to a beauty queen who was once mayor of a town with the population of one block of Chaoyang.

“...what is it exactly that the VP does every day? ... We want to make sure that that VP slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans... Quote: Sarah Palin, July 2008.

Fruitful for Alaskans? Well, let's all hope so, that's what really matters.

That's him. McCain probably wishes he picked him once the hurricane got going...

Funny that we expcet democracy is the best way...but it doesn't represent true opinions of people all the time...

There is no such thing as a typical American. It is what makes the country so great. The world is just jealous of the U.S. Wait until China is the number one country in the world people will be jealous of it and hate it just as they do the U.S. now.
