McCain: Those grumpy conservatives

I guess the Pubs. and Dems. are beginning to see that there's not much difference between McCain and Clinton. He's a closet Dem. and she's a closet Pub.

OBAMA, 2008!

Good speech. Much more inspiring than the one delivered at his alma mater.

His hope: That we boomers, are in the beginning stages of dementia.

His platform: (since he knows he can't win on the issues), here I am, these are who I've come from, there is where I've been, this is what I've suffered. Look at me.

Now look at him, or her. You don't know him, but you know her. Who do you want?

Although commendable, Senator McCain's resume offers us his past, nothing more. Nothing for our future.

We need a President with a brilliant mind, who will surround himself with many more brilliant minds, consult with them, and togehter, with our input, find the best solutions for what now bedevils Americans.

Recently someone blogged a criticism of Senator Obama, accusing him of hypocrisy, because he has taken as an advisor a General who disagrees with him on foreign policy.

I submit to you, that the best leader understands that he must have the voice of opposition in his ear, if he is to make sound judgements. That is wisdom. It is humility. It is the moral recipe for victory, and success.

GWB, would have none of it. Get it? Enough said.

Pulling for Obama '08

Don't you find it interesting that McWar is taking a trip down memory lane with his stump speeches, when he should be focusing on policies of substance such as the economy, the war, or healthcare? But, then again, at HIS age, maybe he has to give his memory a boost now and then. He also can't talk about the economy because he doesn't have a plan; he's FOR the war, so that's not good either; and he's not in top shape with healthcare either.......so, I take it back, let him stroll down memory lane....that's all he's got!

I am one of the baby boomers and don't feel I have a candidate I wish to vote for. If Senator McCain wants to impress we conservative voters he needs to do so quickly and confirm he supports the issues we are concerned about.. The economy and ways to reduce our tax burden, illegal immigration and other major issues. What are his proposed solutions? His campaign donations come from we the middle class and not in donations only millionaires. We don't have the millions to donates that democrats are getting from individuals like the Kennedys, but if he wants a contribution from me he best start standing up for my conservative principals and values! Anyone with a brain understands what he meant about the 100 year presence in foreign countries. Quit making issues over simple comments made and your interpretation of them, get us some facts on where these candidates stand on things that matter. Show us all how they have voted and what they think should happen for real! Do any of us want to head in the direction of a Socialist government? Think twice here!! Forget party lines and think of the consequences.
I want to know who you think will be in their cabinet positions? Who will the heads of our government agencies be filled by. Who will be our next decision makers? What hidden agendas do the candidates have?

Granpa John, Grandpa John. Even old people don't want to vote for this numnut. I am grateful to years of service and sacrifice for our country, but do we really owe him the presidency to prove we are grateful?

So, like millions of us veterans, he had the honor to serve his country in the military and survive. Comendable. What are you going to do for America as president? That is the real question-and I for one don't think he has a clue-he is simply on an ego trip. As a proud combat veteran, I would NEVER consider voting for him-we need a political leader with brilliance and vision, not an old veteran stuck in the past.

McCain is just going to the middle, he has to in order to get elected. And to all republicans who don't want to vote for him, would you prefer Clinton or even worse Obama, I think not, conservatives hold your noses and vote McCain, and hope he picks a good running mate, plus McCain will prob only be a 1 term president...
