You may have just made it easier for me to vote for him.

Glad to help...I know this sucks, a lot. I'm not a fan of his either, but it is what it is and it's time to stop the Dems.

To: Mr. Silverback

The FDR (who sucked and we’re still paying for it, domestically) v. Carter analogy did it.

My Dad was Army Air Corps in WWII. Tons of uncles in other areas. Same with a couple of brothers, former military. One nephew was Marines, another Air Force. One is a Marine currently in Iraq another is in Afghanistan. Too long of a list to list, lol. None like or respect McCain, other than his military service but between what we have, he’d get the vote, I think.

An interesting tidbit: My junior had to write an essay and give an oral report/discuss a candidate, one of the four, today. I told her last night to pick McCain or Hillary because I could help her. she chose McCain and was one of 4 who did. the teacher kept saying BUT OTHER THAN THE war what can you positively say about him and why you chose him. So my kid says, well he says he’s pro life and we know hillary and obama aren’t. Teacher said that wasn’t really an answer. Another mentioned his conservative record (and I laughed and daughter didn’t understand). Teacher said but what makes you vote for him (like the War wasn’t enough or something). So my kid says, well he’s for stem cell research and the teacher seem pleased with that response, lol. And one kid chose Huckabee. One girl chose Hillary and spouted off about feminism things and how a female president would be a first here and how she’d fix all the wrongs done by men, blah blah blah. the teacher was intereste and kept asking questions. Most chose Obama. My kid said all they said about him was how he’d change things and how much we needed change. That healthcare would be fixed (but not HOW), that GW would be dealt with, and that we’d make peace with the world and try to understand other cultures and viewpoints. They said Obama was a motivator and could bring this country and world together. She said the Obama segment took up most of the class period since so many chose him. Then she says to me, so what does he stand for, support on the issues? Very telling imo. Even a junior in high school, after listening to her classmates reports, still has no idea what he stands for, other than change, and that he’s going to fix things and we’ll have world peace but no plans on how that’s going to happen.
