Mccain: NO WAY

After reading many of the comments posted by others in this forum, I am convinced that the electorate for the most part are uninformed, uneducated and not well read regarding the true facts concerning the election. You have to fact check and read, listen and watch both left and right leaning sources to make a final decison. It is beyond my wildest imagination how anyone can decide to vote for John Mccain and Palin when they have absolutely lied about everything of importance as well as insignificant issues. At least Obama has an ivy league education and was law review at Harvard. (not an easy thing to acheive). The president does not make decisions on most matters without the consultaion of top experts who advise him. Obama has the ability to find those experts. Mccain has surrounded himself with top lobbists run his campaing and you can bet they will run his whitehouse if elected. Bear in mind that our next president will appoint any where from 1 to 3 supreme court justices during his presidency. Even one more right leaning justice could change or overturn Roe v Wade and change your civil freedoms beyond what you imagine. Mccain has really lost his bearings and does not even know who the leader of Spain is. He does'nt know where spain is. You never get an answer form him when asked why he picked Pailin. He says that her being the head of the Alaska National Guard is experience. That is a joke. No governor has any federal authority for their state national guard. Mrs. Palin is a self centered vindictive personality and has shown that she would bring in cronies that are unqualified just like GW Bush.I could go on with lots more reasons but I urge all to at least study the real facts and positions of each candidate and vote on election day for your candidate.

God help us all!!

Since this is the politics discussion forum, what is it you would like to discuss in this thread? Otherwise it seems more like any post that could have been put into any of the other anti-McCain threads.

Anti or pro Mcain or Obama sounds like politics to me. Where else should this be posted?

I think Cyn's referring to the fact that there are multiple threads open within the Politics boards.

When we post a new thread it's because we're sharing ideas and asking questions and opening new discussions. New thread, new question or idea. Your post is statement of opinion, which could have been added to any one of a number of open threads. If you had a different angle, perhaps, and a question for discussion, it would have made more sense.

Hope this helps.

Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold were verifiable geniuses.

Like Obama has Franklin Raines (Fannie Mae CEO) and Jim Johnson (also with failed Fannie Mae) for campaign advice on mortgage and housing policy matters?

thank you for the clarification jewels... it is exactly what I was trying to point out.
