However <i>ALL</i> politicians are master manipulators.. I agree and disagree with policies that <i>both</i>sides present. The ‘democracy’ we live in basically has a 2-Party System, and, as it was stated earlier, we choose between the lesser of 2 evils. I'm not pro-McCain or anti-Obama. I know the majority of what I've posted here could be looked at as anti-Obama, but I'm only trying to play devil's advocate. Yes, McCain is old, but his mother is alive and seemingly well at 95. I’m sure he has better medical care than you or I. I can’t say I’d vote based on the age of the candidates or who the better speaker is. We could argue about who has more relevant experience between Palin and Obama…the fact of the matter is Palin is a VP candidate, and Obama is running for President. Also, a President & VP are only as good as their cabinet and supporting administration. As for where the candidates when to school; Yale is considered a prestigious school, correct? George Bush went to Yale… I wouldn’t say that Hillary supporters are going to jump ship and vote for McCain because he chose a woman if no other reason that their politics alone. If that does happen, then the voters are simply dumb. Whoever McCain chose would have been ripped apart. If you watched any coverage of the Obama and McCain acceptance speeches, the majority of the mainstream media outlets provided a negative summary to almost everything presented by McCain & Palin, while Obama’s was deemed one of the greatest speeches in history. If McCain is just going to be 4 more years of the last 8 years, I not voting for him. That said, I don’t believe McCain and Bush are one in the same at all. The way Bush has been spending, he’s acted more like a Democrat than a Republican. Yes, Republicans have the Christian voters in their pocket by, as you say, continuing the same outcries against abortion and same sex marriage. To be honest, I think there are much more important issues that should be relevant in the discussion of who would make a better president. Obama claims that he won't raise taxes on anyone but businesses & upper class. If taxes are raised on businesses, guess who that effects? The consumer (which includes the lower & middle classes). Business will raise their prices. Increased prices means people will spend on ‘needs’ and less on ‘wants’, which will adversely affect the economy. How will Obama’s universal health care be paid for? Higher (and more) taxes. Obama is for a Windfall Oil Tax. Translation: The end consumer will be paying higher prices at the pump as the oil companies raise prices to account for the extra taxes imposed. Of course Obama isn’t saying any of this. He either A) doesn’t understand economics or B) he’s also a master manipulator. APayne…I agree with some of what you say. However ALL politicians are master manipulators..

You're misled and thinking irrationally. John McCain has nothing to run on. THAT is why he resorted to the cheap ploy of trying to court Clinton voters by selecting a woman. A woman who is FAR from educated or qualified. While Obama was the President of the Harvard Law Review, Palin and McCain struggled through school. McCain graduated near the bottom of his Navy Class. Palin went to 5 different schools in the span of six years. One of them was a junior college in fact. The sum of her education was a four year, BA in Journalism from the oh so prestigious University of Idaho. Afterwards, she became the mayor of a town of 9,000 and represented a state with a population less than my state's capital. McCain is 72 years old and had four battles with cancer. When you factor in the fact that the avg. life expectancy for a white male in the United States is 72, there is a very good chance he could die in office and we'd be left with some incompetent individual with NO FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE. I don't want to hear the balancing the budget crap either. My college's president manages a 1/3 of the money Palin touches as governor alone. Just what I want running my country. A vote for Obama is a vote to take America in the right direction. You really think the GOP wants change? Look at the audience at the RNC. 97% were white people over the age of 50. Same old people, same old ideas, same old politics. America must learn to adjust to this new global environment or continue to fall behind. The same ideas, and same politics will not take our country where it needs to go. The GOP has nothing to run on anymore aside from the whole moral values kick. Keep in mind they've been making the same outcries against abortion and same sex marriage for 8 years and done nothing about either. They piss off and manipulate Christian voters to try to win elections. It's as simple as that. The Republican Party is filled with master manipulators.

It's your site and you'll do what you want, but you did deem McCain's entire speech as bullshit. Don't try to tell me you're not in the tank for Obama regardless of anything.

Bottom line: A smart voter will vote based on
(1) a candidates voting history
(2) the proposed policies and feasibility of accomplishing these policies
(3) the candidates ethical standards

Oh wait, no need to. It's just more of the same. I encourage anybody to look up the fact check they did on this speech. Very little truth within it.
