    I think it shows how the 2 candidates are different:

    Mccain actually has an idea on how to make the debates and discussions between candidates better.
    Obama just wants to "change" the way we do it and "hope" it gets better. He doesnt offer any ideas for doing so
    mccain also wants to go to iraq where the reality of their visit would be equal to a day at a theme park.

    he wants to change this broken machine. he wants to put political action groups and lobbyist in a box. (bravo)

    he wants a real govt. in iraq. not this stupid situation that exist now. we are paying the real power brokers simply not to kill our troops.

    he wants americans to have healthcare. people that rail against this need mental healthcare.

    he wants the filthy rich to quit getting a free ride on our tail.

    he wants to restore our country's image. people that rail against this need mental healthcare.
    Then what's with the mortgage bailouts? A lot of those are second homes rich folk are trying to flip or rent out.

    Most conservatives that I know don't like McCain at all and don't agree with most of his positions but are voting for him because he is a republican.
    Others (like myself) will vote for him because he's less to the left than Obama is. Democrat > marxist. And sadly, this is the realization I know lots of folks are making about this.

    Damn.

    I agree, but we let the republicans see we would support the lesser of two evils, and they got worse. I will not reward such activity again myself.

    Here is the main issue the 08 election boils down too...

    McCain wants to stay in Iraq for 'the next hundred years'

    Obama has a plan for systematic withdrawal from Iraq in 16 months after taking office....

    i love mccains idea of 10 townhall meetings with obama.

    make it 20 or 30.

    make them last at least 3 hours each.
    Obama would wipe the floor with McCain....McCain is a piss poor public speaker..

    Way to take that completely out of context. Mccain does not want to stay there for 100 years. He wants Iraz to be able to leave Iraq in a poisition where it can sustain itself. Obama wants to cut and run. There are also a lot more issues out there than just this one, but judging by your 100 years comment you are pretty misinformed.

    I'd say you're taking thing quite out of context yourself; who are you, Karl Rove?

    I think that getting out of Iraq that quick, no matter how much they are in shambles can be considered cutting and running.

    I think the point is that McCain supports a permanent military presence in Iraq, just like Dubya.....whether you want to face reality or not, Hillary lost the Democratic nomination because of her vote to authorize the Iraq invasion.....just how understanding do you think voters will be with McCain who has voted 90% of the time with Dubya...including it's plan for Iraq?

    em, let it burn. You should have thought about that before you voted for the piece of that started this war in the first place.

    You can go with cut and run if you want, but the American people know better...and you'll be soundly defeated in Nov.

    You know we still have military bases in Germany and other countries throughout the world. Is that such a bad thing?

    I disagree about why Hillary lost the nomination. She lost it because black voters turned out in record numbers and something like 96% of them voted for Obama. She also lost it because Obama is a better speaker and spoke of hope and change that appealed to the abstract thinking voters.

    A leader does not follow the will of others. A leader leads!

    the likes of any democrats I know today will never be leaders. The have the following method for determining actions:

    1) Insert finger in mouth.
    2) Full out wet finger.
    3) Stick high up in the air.
    4) Determine which way the wind is blowing.
    5) face that direction.
    6) Throw tax payer dollars in the air.

    A leader will appoint good people around himself(herself) that brings qualities the he or she lacks. They will listen to informed opinions, and make a decision. The people may or may not agree, but a good leader will then explain why he or she is right. Democrats just push their elitists agenda's using the jeolosy factor of their stupid cons uents.

    Right...because Iowa, Nebraska and Washington state are dominated by 'black voters'...

    From the council of conservative citizens no less
    http://cofcc.org/?p=1192


    The Bush regime is paying Sunni insurgents $800,000 a day not to attack US forces. That’s right, 80,000 members of an "Awakening group," the "Sons of Iraq," a newly formed "US-allied security force" consisting of Sunni insurgents, are being paid $10 a day each not to attack US troops. Allegedly, the Sons of Iraq are now at work fighting al Qaeda.

    This is a much cheaper way to fight a war. We can only wonder why Bush didn’t figure it out sooner.

    The "surge" was also timed to take account of the near completion of neighborhood cleansing. Most of the violence in Iraq during the past five years has resulted from Sunnis and Shi’ites driving each other out of mixed neighborhoods. Had the two groups been capable of uniting against the US troops, the US would have been driven out of Iraq long ago. Instead, the Iraqis slaughtered each other and fought the Americans in their spare time.

    In other words, the "surge" has had nothing to do with any decline in violence.

    With the Sunni insurgents now on Uncle Sam’s payroll, with neighborhoods segregated, and with al Sadr’s militia standing down, it is unclear who is still responsible for ongoing violence other than US troops themselves. Somebody must still be fighting, however, because the US is still conducting air strikes and is still unable to tell friend from foe.
