I know this is sure to inflame some people, but I need to know how any average american citizen can even consider voting for McCain?? The war was a gigantic mistake. Who doesn’t know this? McCain has been quoted as saying he will stay in Iraq for 100 years…why?? He is endorsed by and follows many of the same ideas as Bush. Who doesn’t know what this thought process has done to our country?? Not to mention that McCain wants to overturn Roe Vs. Wade. This can not be allowed to happen. It takes women so many years into the past. Young women need to pay attention. He does have the power to do it. He will have control of the supreme court. That would be damaging to women’s rights We do need a change. Barack Obama is the epitome of the ideals that this country was formed upon. Freedom. Equality. We can not as a country continue to preach it but not live by it. We need someone fresh and young and motivated by possibilities. Where is the hope for the future? A breath if fresh air is what this country needs. Experience certainly does not equal better quality. One last statement…For those of you who refer to Obama as Barack Hussein Obama, I hope you are not a racist or a bigot who is too afraid to say it’s about the color of his skin. That should be our last thought right now. Everyone should be thinking of ways to keep crooked politics out of the white house. Patriotism is an often misunderstood word. Vote Obama…
Eagleswings41,

I knew this subject would inflame some people but I was not rude. I didn’t find it necessary for you to call me stupid simply because my opinion differs from yours. I am educated and do not believe “holding hands…” would bring world peace. I simply do not believe that bickering, fighting, name calling, or starting war are the ways to solve problems. Also, 9/11 was caused by Osama bin Laden, not Iraq and Saddam Hussein. If our war was waged over 9/11 then it would have been with Afghanistan & Pakistan. I don’t understand why people can not see the correlation between the war, the oil companies, and Bush and his puppet masters. So now that I have followed up, I again want to say that I did not need to resort to name calling in an adult conversation. I hope that anyone else who replies is more polite despite differences.
