My heart and soul aches, knowing we as a whole have fallen short in electing for the first time in my life time a true American hero and figure that could have a monument build before he departs our planet for all he has done for US, as in you, me and the United States. I am an independent voter who now feels no faith again in our political system, Republicans have been two faced by initially hating McCain till nominated and then jump ship when he loses, Democrats selfishly ignore all the signs of Obama’s disrespect for our country and allow our country to be vulnerability to our enemies who will put our soldiers lives in danger whom protect us while we enjoy our shallow ignorant lives. I have respected and admired John McCain for a very long time. This is the first Presidential election in my life time that I truly saw a man comparable to our forefathers, whom would lead and protect our nation and truly shake up politics across both parties to bring government back to the people. He represents all the values and traits my father imbedded in me, give a better life to your children then you had, serve a greater good by truly doing it and my father too served our country in war, respectful to our elders who have traveled a longer and earned road. I too toke a while to understand this and is the reason I lean to the right, since I respect the value of leaning to the moral right of abortion and other key selfish issues even though I may disagree with some of them. I did not vote for our current President Bush, yes I voted for Gore and Kerry. But each time I gave President Bush a chance to prove me wrong, and I feel he did, imperfectly but he did protect us and I am ashamed the democrats and moderate independents can not see that and allowed this to happen. I did want to be prepared to give Obama the same chance I gave Bush and wanting to help heal our nations racial wounds but after researching his past I CANNOT support or will I recognize Obama as our President, may not mean much to him but sure does ache my heart since I love my country whole heartily. How can I, I ask everyone, since his past shows nothing but horrible selfish political agendas and proven he has no honor to our country since he sees it completely imperfect, fetches his lawyers to win at all costs and shown no loyalty since he will throw his family members and anyone who helped him get where he is under the bus to continue his selfish political agenda. I have seen this in others and wish instead of completely changing our country, rather he would just move to a country that already has those selfish qualities. Now I see he will drag US into depression with his policies to double figure unemployment, have to apply the draft since our military are not going to re-up or even join to serve a dishonorable leader who only allows our enemies to put their fangs in us and finally will only divide the races again in our nation since instead of a shining figure as the first African American President he will bring us further down then Jimmy Carter did. Let me finish with praying that I wish him and his family a safe journey through the next four years and the role he will undertake humbles him to leave his selfish crooked ways in the past and proof me wrong, if not, God bless America and hope we all can heal from his agenda.
Juan McAmnesty didn't lose because of Sarah Palin, Sarah Palin lost because of John MeCain!
McCain fought media bias at its worse, a staggering economy, an unpopular war, and the constant drumbeat of bashing President Bush for eight years.
I continue to be proud of my country, and those that voted for McCain.
Buck up. Let's continue to serve our country with pride and distinction. Always remember that God is still in charge.
Peace and blessings to you!
I feel the same way my friend. McCain would have put this country back on course and kept it safe. Unfortunately, the media and Hollywood has brainwashed this man down 1/2 the country and this may be a new pattern in future elections...a very dangerous game. We must move on and look towards the future and the rebirth of a new GOP. We also need to give this man a chance even though deep inside of me I wish he is a total failure. Have faith my friend, good American values always prevails.
I am VERY proud of my coutry, my sentiments are reflected in Lee Greenwood’s song. Now I have a different opinion about some of the craven INHABITANTS of my country. I feel they need an “ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT” and will eventually get one, it’s always been the case in the past.
I should add that I stand ready to assist in that endeavor.
I am ALWAYS proud of my country........I’m just disappointed at many of my so-called leaders not named Sarah or Fred..........
The one who needs to get over himself is YOU- *I* am not the one complaining.
LOL! Whatever, sport.
