DaveD - it sounds like you have a lot of passion for your cause. I'll bet that you have a lot to say about the goodness of the Republican ticket and the Republican party platform. I urge you to take some time to compose your thoughts into a well reasoned, if not well written posting to support your positions and your candidates.

No offense intended, but I just think that with your obvious strong feelings on these topics you may be able to be more pursuasive if you could turn your statements into some positive notes of support for your causes and candidates rather than this name claling and blather contained in this thread.

I may be wrong...report abuse

MtV-Paul,
Well said. I really think she lacks substance, something we need in a candidate. The attack on Obama last night was horrible. I do not like speeches like this. So, she can skin a moose and catch a fish, big whoopee, lots of women can. She needs to be interviewd, but the McCain camp has got to have the questions first, so they can do the answers for her. She doesn't have a clue. I hate it that she has lied about some things in Alaska. I have friends that live there and she is not all she seems to be. Eventually, we will learn the truth and why she wasn't vetted better. McCain can't go forever on his POW status. That was 40 years ago and this is NOW. I salute the man for his bravery, but we must remember he crashed two helicopters in training and insisted on going over combat territory with very little experience, so he got shot down. A lot of others did also and some never came home and some are still MIA's. I object to him voting with Bush against more help for our veterans. Not all are married to billionaire heiresses and can't afford their own health care that this country should be providing totally free of charge. I am concerned about either candidate being ready on "Day One", but time will tell, I guess.report abuse
