For the so called doctor who gave us a health lecture, you did not say a thing about whether Sen. Obama is still smoking, how much, and what it is he is smoking too for that matter since you were so detailed about Sen. McCain’s health? The last medical record about Sen. Obama was he was having some recurrent respiratory infections sometime in 2007. How about some records for 2008 on Sen. Obama? Although I could not be more upset about GWB and the Iraq War, at least Congress held hearings and both parties got to talk about the Iraq War. This bailout thing had no hearings, it was mostly behind closed doors, still had that ACORN pork funding in the bill, and Rep. Pelosi trashed the GOP when leadership was needed to pass something. Sen. McCain gave up part of his campaign to go to DC to try to help and it was ridiculed. Sen. Obama is not ready for this job at all. The only thing he has done in the past 18 months is run his campaign. No hearings on NATO in the Senate, spent endless hours bashing GWB (getting us nowhere on it), and blaming the GOP for everything wrong with this country. While the Do Nothing Dem Congress had been in charge in two years, they have done next to nothing. Sen. McCain has been the true warrior for the people through this whole period. And for the most recent example, Sen. McCain and Gov Palin had taken on the energy issue to Drill Now, Drill Here while Congress was stalling. Yesterday I gassed up and I was very pleased that the price was much lower and affordable. McCain/Palin for leadership and true reform!

The story about Obama not wanting pictures taken with police/military in Michigan has been proven over and over to be false. The guy who wrote the letter (Kearns) has retracted the letter and asked that people delete from emails or not use for political use. But I do know what is true and that is the last 8 years have seen more jobs lost in Dayton and Ohio, we were taken into a war by lies and young men from Ohio have been killed based on a lie. The economy is shattered, people are losing more homes, retirement savings are disappearing—we are in dangerous times. So I have thought about it, and am sad that the first time I voted for Bush/cheney/Rove but did not the second time and will NOT this third time. I want improvements for Dayton, for Ohio and the American People. And yes, voters in Ohio, please do thinkaboutit and how we are now and the last 8 years and ask youself if you want 4 more of the same or worse.

Like the majority of these posts, the reporting of polls is redundant. He’s a racist; she’s a racist; blah; blah; blah. When blood is spilled in the desert, when the value of our homes and IRAs plummet, when our jobs dissipate in the midnight air, it’s all of us who suffer, red, blue, black, purple, jew, muslim, xtian, flying spaghetti, martian, et cetera. If we voters demanded the issues to be forefront rather than the drama, we’d have much higher quality of candidates than either McCain or Obama. With what’s available, I’m going with the Obamaslamajammas.

McCain is not the perfect candidate but he is vastly better than Obama. Before supporting him, go to http://www.barackobamatest.com/ to learn how much out of touch he is with mainstream America. He is anti-capitalism, anti-free market, anti-family, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, etc. He promises changes but the economic policies he is promoting are the root problems of our current economic situation. Unfortunately, the general electorate will believe what the mainstream media tells them and assume that since Bush is the president, it must be his fault. They will not take the time to research the facts. Two weeks ago I had never heard of the community reinvestment act or ACORN. Do your research, folks. Obama is corrupt and doesn’t need to be anywhere near the White House.

Hey, Arthur - McCain could not serve a second term by refusing to step down. He would have to run again in four years.

McCain is 72 and a medical mess. He will be 80 if he serves 2 terms, and incumbents never step down. The records document the health of Sen. McCain at the Mayo Clinic show: Cancer (melanomas on his left face, his left arm and his nose); dizziness that was diagnosed as vertigo; blood in the urine, caused by an enlarge prostate and bladder/kidney stones; high cholesterol; chronic pain in his shoulder, hand and knee joints diagnosed as degenerative arthritis; evidence of polyps and diverticulosis in the colon, and some other minor medical ailments along the way. The cancer diagnosis has surfaced 4 times, 4 operations and will likely reoccur.. Has pain in his shoulders and knee, and takes sedatives that may cause disorientation. Has high-frequency hearing loss in both ears, sporadic memory loss, edema( swelling) and blood in the urine. Thyroid palpable node discovered and being watched. Smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a DAY for 25 years before stopping in 1980. Has psychological, temper and mood swings due to military and prolonged imprisonment and isolation under stressful conditions that have left lasting psychological impact and undersurface rage, revenge phantasies and acting out. Wait until he is 80 in 2nd term and President Palin takes over. One medical opinion: “ I am a registered Republican. As a dermatologist with over 20 years of experience, I would have to believe that there is a very significant probability that McCain will die of his melanoma, probably within the next few years. As I understand it, his first episode was in 1992, and he has had a total of 4 melanomas, one of which was deep enough to require a lymph node dissection. My experience has been that patients whose immune system clearly does not fight off melanoma (I’ve never had any patient who had more than 2 once we began observing them closely with consistent skin checks, as I know McCain gets), and eventually die of their melanoma, especially when it has been on the head or neck. Everything may seem to be fine for 5-10 years, then all of a sudden all the micrometastases reach critical mass, and there are lesions in the brain, bone and lungs - and the person is dead within three months.” - Laura E. Skellchock, MD I know it is not politically correct to interject age, but this is about HEALTH, especially with Silly Sarah, 45th President and Commander-In-Chief of the United States around the corner, just a heart attack away ready to go on day one

Actually Jaime and Connie, slavery is very old and very wide spread. Check the Bible. It has been found on practically every continentincluding Europe and North and South America.

First people open your eyes and brain and remeber, Bush wasn’t in office long when the economy went blah, this was the result of Clinton it just finally caught up during Bush. Next if you remember it was Clinton that signed NAFTA into law, which has crippled our nation leading to job loss which led to foreclosures. It was during Clintons tenure that credit was very easy to get not to mention car loans and home loans which led to the position were in now. I was laid off twice during Clinton and my wife also lost her job. Under Bush no job loss in our house. I do not agree with Bush all the time but I do believe I’d rather have a president who doesn’t refuse to pay tribute to our flag and way of life. Also did you know while Obama was in Michigan he would not get off his bus until the local law enforcement, who was their to protect him stood behind his bus so as their was no way that the media would snap a picture with him (obama)around law enforcement. Wow this guy is a piece of work….I plan along with my family to support McCain, and I would vote a hundred times if I could, oh and by the way 9/11 may have happend on Bush’s watch but it was planned on Clinton’s who had a chance to take him (Osama)out but didn’t.

It was Bush and his cabinet that used lies to start the war in Iraq. Republicans try and brush over that because it makes their political party look evil.. Which they are. The economic policies of the Bush administration are an absolute failure. And, they tend to blame the dems for their failures. Typical. McCain is incapable of leading this country and his running mate is a ditz. It was the republicans that tried to use religion and patriotism in the last two presidential elections. The religion issue was a hypocrisy. Use lies to start wars then have members of congress that text message kids for immoral purposes or try and pick up gay sex in an airport. And the head of the evangelicals going after gay sex and drugs. Patriotism being snuffed by Bush’s attempt and twisting our constitution for his own benefit and disregarding the laws of the land.. Outing a CIA agent, federal attorney scandal, secret energy policies and more. The republicans are about as patriotic as those serving a life sentence at San Quentin. As the old saying goes, “Fascism will come to America wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross” That would be the Republicans.

These polls have shifted back and forth and are not that reliable. The Democratic No Nothing Congress headed up by Sen. Obama and Rep. Pelosi is a recipe for failure for this country. They have no good ideas but to tax, spend, and now borrow. Sen. McCain has shown himself to want to fight Wall Street greed but so many Dems blocked his 2005 bill and are involved with the financial fiasco at Fanny Mae. Of course, the Do Nothing Dems are not going to hold hearings and get this bailout right because it is a chance for the Dems to take even more money for themselves under a very weak leader like Sen. Obama who will owe his friends much. If for some miracle, Sen. Obama might get the job, do not be surprised if he delivers very little to the people and spends the next four years complaining about how GWB messed up the country, like the Dems do not have to do anything about it. Sen. Obama has the most questionable associations and rarely takes any responsibility for them. He just throws people and problems under the bus who get in his way. For all you Sen. Obama fans, I hope for your sake, you do not get thrown under the bus too. Vote McCain/Palin who put America First always!

oh Jaimie his grandparents paid for him to go to school. As far as lying if I remember correctly the last Democratic President Bill CLinton went on national tv saying “I did not have sex with that woman” he lied to the whole country. And as far as the color of someone skin does not matter to me the only ones bringing up color are the democrats. I am a register independent voter and I do understand why John McCain said that we can’t lose this war. He was in one that we did lose and the feeling of the soldiers and the respect that no one gave America because we didn’t win. But it sure is strange how over 4000 soldiers on July 4 in Irag re-register to stay as a soldier to fight the war in Irag because they see the good we do. Our liberal media won’t show or say anything bad about Obama. He may think he is god but he is not -I was always told by my grandmother and mother if it is to good to be true it probably isn’t. So after Obama wins wait 6 months and all the people who voted for Obama will be back complaining about all the jobs gone and the high tax we have to pay.

The entire country has seen the lies, deceptions and propaganda of the republican party. In Washington state, the republican candidate for governor is listing his political affiliation on the ballot as, “GOP party” There are reasons for that. When the people of our country are pushed too far and lied to too much they will vote to throw out those that push and lie to us. In this case, it is the republican party. And, the republican party is considered evil in many states. McCain is too old and certainly has medical problems. His running mate, Miss Congeniality is clueless and unfit to lead. Even republicans recognize that fact. We need leadership and not an old man with a shrill voiced caribou barbie running mate. Americans have seen how the republicans have failed our country. The only option is Obama/Biden.

There is a distinct difference in the two platforms between our candidates John McCain and Barack Obama. What I saw during the first debate was McCain believes in using our military to fix America. Obama believes restoring middle class will fix America. As we have learned during the Bush administration, the military route has not improved anything. We are still dependent on foreign oil. Americans are losing their jobs then in turn losing their homes. Unemployment is climbing. Soldiers are dieing daily. Healthcare has not been addressed. We have a deficit larger than all former presidents added together. We in Ohio are longing for a glimmer of hope. We need a leader with a broader vision for a better America for our children and our grand children. We need a President that will lead us back to our American Dream with innovation, technology and education. I don’t see that in McCain. All I saw in McCain is we must win the war. Exactly what does winning a war mean? We have lost thousands of soldiers, we did not get the oil rights, and we have spent billions of dollars. How will McCain’s theory of winning a war actually improve anything here in the USA here in Ohio? Can someone please explain this to me? My family has suffered the last 8 years. We cannot make it another four years of so called trickle down economics. We are barley getting by now on two incomes. This year I will be casting my vote for Barack Obama.

I tried liking Obama I gave him a fair shake, but he has poor judgement in people he chooses to hang with and he talks but nothing comes out of his mouth. as far as his tax plan you have to lower the tax on companies or they will outsource the jobs as we see it going on now. anyone making over 250.000 will be taxed there goes the small businesses. I don’t want a socialist government. I believe in capitalist and for poor people which I was raised poor and I went to school (public) and then to college and I have a great job now no one made me do and no one paid for it but me.

Gwen Ifill is a highly respected journalist and newscaster who has been the moderator for “Washington Week in Review” since 1999 and moderated the 2004 vice presidential debate. She is highly respected and was approved by both parties before she was selected. Both parties also knew about her book, about the effect of African Americans on modern politics, before they gave approval. Not every book that has “Obama” in the title is pro-Obama.

Then 911 happened (on his watch) while Congress was controlled by your Republicans for the first 6 years of Bush’s term, they passed tax laws that undermined the middle class and got us into a war that shouldn’t have happened & now we are paying for it. McCain is a great patriot but will not be great president (he doesn’t even know where Spain is on the world map) and Palin doesn’t know about the world outside of Alaska.

Is this the kind of direction we need? Can the country stand any more of this kind of direction? George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine. A little over one year ago: 1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high; 2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon; 3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%. 4) the DOW JONES hit a record high—14,000 5) American’s were buying new cars,taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!… But American’s wanted ‘CHANGE’! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress and, yes,—we got ‘CHANGE’ all right.. In the PAST YEAR: 1) Consumer confidence has plummeted ; 2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!; 3) Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 10% increase); 4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices still dropping; 5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure. $2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS has evaporated from their stocks, bonds & mutual funds investment portfolios. Yes, in 2006, America voted for change. And we sure got it!! Remember, the President has no control over any of these issues, only Congress. And what has Congress done in the last two years? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Now, the Democrat candidate for President claims he is going to really give us change – along with a Democrat Congress!!!! JUST HOW MUCH MORE ‘CHANGE’ DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND?

We have already experienced 8 years of thoughtless, knee jerk reactions. Now combine that with a hot temper. He could not or would not look at his opponent. How will that translate in to his leadership style? Anyone having a different view will be ignored? We need direction and strength not combustible flux.
