Obama and Clinton are pretty much the same. What's the point in even going out to vote if I'm split 50/50?

How tied in is the McCain family to the Military Industrial Complex?
John McCains family connections to the cover up of this incident, including the only 1 week allowed to investigate it, shed light on his lineage and credibility. It always seems he has someone elses interests at heart than Americans, and it seems to be a trait of the namesake.

If you're still under the assumption that McCain is the right guy for the job, here's a couple of video's you need to watch. This clearly shows what a traitor the man really is!!!!
#1 - Sen. McCain & Sen. Kerry committing treason in Senate hearings?
The group Vietnam Veterans Against McCain attacks Senator John McCain's heroism as a POW in the Vietnam conflict; this is making some waves in the news due to McCain's presidential candidacy.
The documentary "Missing, Presumed Dead the Search for America's POWs" however focuses more on Senator John McCain successfully blocking the release of classified POW/MIA documents. Here is an excerpt from that documentary

#2 - POWs & MIAs UNITED AGAINST John McCain
Head of the POW & MIA Rips McCain and endorses Ron Paul

A quiet evening perusing the world wide web reveals a surplus of web sites attempting to discuss various monetary issues. Invariably, one of the more common topics is “constitutional” currency. This essay does not address the political side of those discussions, but provides several facts and clarifications. The objective is to show that a person can be easily misled while researching such topics. If anything, perusing the web reveals there is much confusion about “constitutional” currency.

If I wanted to vote for a Democrat I could vote for Obama or Hillary???
Why pick, Romney, McCain, or Huckabee??
If I'm going to do it, I might as well get the real thing...

Senator Rick Santorum of Penn. endorses Mitt Romney saying of his colleague John McCain "he was usually an impediment to conservatives causes."
Endorsing Mitt Romney is Rep. Peter King-top Republican on the Homeland Security Committee and wrote the Secure Fence Act that calls for fencing 700 miles of the US.
CALIFORNIA AND ARIZONA VOTERS, McCain wants you and your tax dollars to pay for the illegals healthcare bills, he wants you and your tax dollars to pay for their education, he wants you and your tax dollars to pay their legal bills and for their incarcaration time. Romney, not McCain or Huckabee, wants to secure America's welfare, not hand it out, to illegals.

The only thing these polls prove is that the major media networks are working overtime to make the American public believe that there's a close race.
After all, viewership is the lifeblood of FOX, CNN,ABC, CBS,etc., and there's nothing quite like a good horse race to keep the public watching.
There's also the question of the media owners' political influence on the election. Are they pushing a candidate in the primary who cannot win the general election?
My advice, define the issues that are important to you and then, without media distractions, pick your horse.

Hey, someone mentioned McCain.
... last week.
leslie12:59PMFeb 4th 2008
Huckabee sounds like a whining kid on the playground when he accuses Mitt Romney of telling to drop out. (Which is not true. It is we, THE CONSERVATIVES, who want him to drop out.) I have seen 3 separate interviews where Romney say's Huck has every right to stay in the race as long as he wants. It seems like Huckabee's man crush on McCain is rubbing off on his honesty too.
Huck will be railroaded by the "straight-talking" express. Do you really think that McCain will pick Huckabee as his running mate? He owes Guliani, Schwarzneggar, Gov. Crist and a long list of others.
You Mike Huckabee, have been railroaded by "the straight-talking" express.

Today's topic is deadly serious. A virus has swept through the American electorate this past year which leads to a very peculiar condition known as Partisan Derangement Syndrome. A sure sign of P.D.S., indeed, its most recognizable symptom, comes in the form of sufferers uttering nonsensical declarative statements such as:
"I have voted Republican all my life, but if McCain wins, I'll vote for a Democrat."
or
"In every election I've backed a Democrat, but if Hillary wins, I'll vote Republican."

If we wanted to vote Democratic, we'd vote for Obama or Clinton.
Why would we vote for Romney, McCain, or Hucabee???

Any Woman who does not vote for Hillary should be ashamed of themselves, I guess they would also do the same job as a man and say ok to less pay! Notice all of the rich people voting for obama because they do not have to worry about salaries!!!!!!! Our country continually takes one step forward then two steps back

Hillary Is the one for the job....She will reach across party lines to get the job done....She even reached out to Lindsey Graham about manufacturing jobs. If we want results with a proven record we NEED Hillary in the whitehouse....She has experience with foreign affairs and at the current status of this country she will bring back the USA AS WE KNOW IT. Now is the time.....Obama should be her running mate....he could learn alot in 8 years and then run for President...he is young enough and than we can assure 16 years of Democrats fixing the mess we are in now....
