Keep reminding people how McCain has contributed to their strife.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;While I like Schumer, I think some of these nay-sayers aren't giving the American people enough credit.

Obama is an arrogant, flipflopping, inexperienced puppet for the left. The democrats deserve to lose for picking the weakest candidate who is a fraud. The longer this campaign goes on, the more the American people see Obamas true colors. I supported Hillary, but now will vote McCain. McCain is a man of principal, honor, &amp;amp; experience that will bring real change to the white house. Not like Obama, the only change he brings is changing his mind on every issue. Good luck democrats with your puppet candidate.</description></item></channel></rss>
