    That merits he receive a promotion?

    During his four years in the senate, he accomplished jack . Yet Obama supporters think he can waive a magical wand and everything will be fixed.

    His actual policies SUCK:

    Higher business taxes ( oooooooooooo outsourcing)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Mandated employer based health coverage ( oooooooooooo layoffs)!!!!

    Letting juges modify the terms of mortgages that are about to be foreclosed on ( oooooooooo higher interest rates for the rest of us)!!!!!!!!!!!!

    His voting record (97% with the democrats IIRC) leads me to believe that he'll never have the cajones to stop this democratic congress from spending us into bankruptcy like a teenager who just stole their parents credit card.

    So again, what has Obama accomplished that leads anyone to believe that he'll be able to fix anything?

    If you're "The Chosen One," do you have to actually ACCOMPLISH something?

    You mean he's gotten "Nominated", right?

    After he gets elected, then that will be his administration's signature achievement.


    Im dead serious: WHAT has he accomplished? Exactly what has he done that leads anyone to believe that he'll help our country.

    Im hoping as election day draws nearer, Americans will admit to themselves that Obama's record and platform is a joke, plug their noses, vote for the boring guy.

    His judgement. Joe Biden? Sarah Palin? McCain chose the hard core right wingers over his country. Game over. It's not about acomplishments now because we have TWO choices. One has sold his soul to fringe of his party and now he's going to pay for it.

    I doubt it. The problem for McCain is that Bush is the one in the White House. So you're looking more to the punishment vote than the actual vote for candidates here.

    The person with the longest resume is not always the best one for the job. Ask anyone in HR and they'll tell you that. And being Governor of a big State like, oh, say Texas, does not mean you are ready to be president. Great leaders are made by more than just prior accomplishments.

    Tell that to Obama's 97% liberal voting record.

    Or is he just that PARTISAN?

    Anyone think this guy will REALLY stop wasteful spending.

    Ask HR if they would hire someone for a top level executive position without having a single bullet point on their resume.

    Surely, he must have SOMETHING?

    And McCain will? The guy that suspended his campaign to make sure a $700B bailout to the bankers passes through, with incredible amounts of earmarks?

    McCain is running as a republican and Obama as a democrat. That hasn't been secret to anyone.

    Yeah, if theres ANYTHING Im confident McCain will do its stop wasteful spending.

    But see....you didn't claim Obama will increase our deficit. You just claimed that McCain will do the same (even though his record speaks to the contrary).

    Im seriously wondering if Obama supporters have taken two seconds to look at this guy, his record, or his platform.

    You dont care that he'll spend our country into bankruptcy because he's cool?

    McCain's record doesn't include the bailout?

    I've taken a serious look at Obama and that is why I'm voting for him. If you've decided that McCain is more your candidate then so be it. We just happen to see things differently. That is all.

    Im not any happier about he bailout that you are. But I think we have to think about the future as well.

    Zero earmarks. Killing wasteful defense contracts. 100% rating by the citizens against wasteful spending:
    http://councilfor.cagw.org/site/DocS...pdf?docID=3282

    This (fighting spending) is what McCain DOES. This has been his bread and butter for his whole career.

    Maybe you should read through that description because I don't see how what ratm1221 said was ad hominem.

    Well get that bread and butter ready because his campaign may well be toast. But this is still McCain's race to lose.

    Your threads make no sense. There is a good chance McCain will die in office if he gets elected and Palin will be president.

    Arguing experience makes no sense when your vice president choice has no experience at all.

    Argue that.
