Picking Sarah Palin was the BEST move the party could have made! I was there when he introduced her to Dayton, OH (my hometown). Sarah Palin is tough as nails, compassionate, and loves her country. She at least has done something with her life (mayor and govenor) instead of campaigning to be President.

As far as the comment about Palin not letting women have choice over their bodies: please! Women have choice to not get pregnant! Abortion should not be birth control! Gov. Palin does believe in the exception where the mother's life is in danger, abortion should be an option. I agree with her on this point. Having known so many couples who want to adopt, abortion prevents this from happening. Go Google abortion and see pictures of fetuses dismembered, including being beheaded, and tell me how this is good for America. We have our own Holocaust in this nation and it's Roe vs. Wade and 40,000,000 abortions in 35 years.

 You are right about alternative views, but the FACT is that Obama DID refuse to shake the hand or even MEET a single soldier, it is not our troops fault they are there, they are fighting to keep us safe, to snub his nose at them like he is blaming THEM for being in a war he disagrees with is MY problem with him. You can spin it as Washington does how ever YOU choose, that IS your right as a FREE American, Free by the way BECAUSE our troops are keeping us safe from dictatorship and other evils in this world which wish us dead mostly or controlled completely. I am NOT trying to change YOUR mind either Rusty healthy debate is always a good thing, that is how we learn that is how we grow as people and as a nation. We are ALL going to have to live with which ever candidate wins, I hope our country does NOT loose in the process. If I had a wish it would be that they went to Mars to debate and got lost on the way back to Earth, then we could get a new candidate. But hey that is just me. I appreciate your not mud slinging and being nasty as others have been here. I appreciate YOU and your opinion very much

"but the FACT is that Obama DID refuse to shake the hand or even MEET a single soldier (I certainly hope you aren't refering to the ficticious email that was and is still floating around), it is not our troops fault they are there, they are fighting to keep us safe, to snub his nose at them like he is blaming THEM for being in a war he disagrees with is MY problem with him. You can spin it as Washington does..

.I'm not spinning it, it simply is not true, he did not snub/refuse to meet troops- watch the news, and he has never blamed the troops- in fact the beauty of this war vs. Vietnam is Americans are behind the troops-  not supporting the war does not mean you do not support the troops nor does it mean you are not patriotic...statements like these only fan the flames of ignorance

Obama is NOT bringing the troops home. He has already said that he is sending them into Afghanistan.  Let me repeat that  HE WILL BE SENDING THEM INTO AFGHANISTAN.   Sorry, but If my husband has to go off to either Iraq or Afghanistan, due to recall, I will feel much more confident if McCain was in charge.  You are buying into a falsehood, if you think we will not have troops deployed no matter who is in charge.

Whose posting are you refering to? I think we all know our deployment of troops will not immediately cease no matter who is elected Mc Cain or Obama...our hope is regardless of who is elected, that the number of troops, length of deployment, an dnumber of tours is reduced...

 Kayakrn: I am NOT referring to ANY news when I speak about Obama refusing to shake any of our troops hand, I heard it directly from my cousin via email to me, they took photos of Obama passing all the troops to go to a secure area he never came out to shake a hand or say boo, as I said, I got it from the horses mouth I saw the photos of the troops lined up and Obama going past and never stopping. I rarely watch the news it is all spin city and I refuse to listen, the points i posted from Obamas book it turns out are mostly completely accurate as I have since learned from the book itself, some things were taken out of context but the meaning as a whole was still bad news and he was NOT a child when he wrote it. My daughter too just returned in one piece after a year. We still have much family over there, no one wants too loose any more of our loved ones, they are keeping us safe from harm and free, I would much rather have Mc Cain leading those efforts than Obama, and guess what THAT is MY opinion if you do not like my opinion, please do NOT let the door of this post hit you in the butt as you leave!

I think that his choice is a kick in the face to all women. I think that this is just another way of him saying to women that we have no brains. He simply picked this airhead because she is female. Anyone who knows Clinton knows there is no comparison between these two women.

Ginny

Do you think Clinton is a woman??? That is what you wrote, you must be more descriptive than that.  I don't understand??? As you would say, What are you saying? DUH??????????   You must be an air head, she got rid of more corruption in the state of Alaska and wants to get rid of corruption in Washington, Go you lipstick pitbull!!!!!

A little research is in order here...

With Obamas trip over seas he was to stop at my daughters base in Germany to visit the wounded but changed his mind. He claimed he wouldn't stop there because it would look political. Seems if he cared for the soldiers he would have stopped no matter what it looked like, it would have been the right thing. Stop by and tell the kids thanks.

May want to check Pentagon statement- it was not his choice not to visit, he was asked not to...and it would be the same for either candidate "damned if you do damned if you don't....

thanks.

 This was her husband's ideals, not hers; look it up.  After reading posts like yours I wouldn't blame them for wanting to secede.

 Again, the troops planned on meeting with Obama, they were ll told he was coming, it is silly to say that he was told by his staff that he could not come to visit the troops that is more spin, I have sources in the pentagon, in secret service and family that was THERE waiting to great him, he WAS there and did not meet with any of the troops, you can spin this until you make a quilt and it does NOT change the facts.  Please do not be so blind that YOU believe everything you hear from Obamas camp, Squimals you are right the pentagon WOULD NOT keep him out and they DID not, he did that and after the fall out of reactions as the troops sent messages to family and the press got hold and Obamas camp heard they HAD to start the spin machine. I am NOT so blind I believe all the spin from either camp, but verifiable facts are facts not spin. This is just One of many problems I have with Obama but this one is in the top 5 right now. Again I am still waiting to hear about issues on both sides.

ABusyRN2Go: Well said (each time). I'm glad the troops told what actually happened; after all, it's their butts on the line and the next President, whoever wins, would do well to CARE.

 This is MY opinion on your post CD: I think talking Politics and Religion is difficult, I try and stay out of such topics at home and with friends. Healthy debate is a good thing but here it has turned ugly. I do NOT agree that someone should be called stupid or a reference to them being stupid or put down because of a spelling error on these posts, when you are typing fast because you are passionate about what you are saying mistakes can be made, this is NOT school we are NOT children and YOU are NOT our teacher! People have the right to speak there opinion without fear of retribution from ANYONE! I admit I am careless when typing, because I was attacked for not spelling American with a capital A which got very nasty and silly, insinuating I was less than or less an American because of a grammatical error, this is ridiculous. Picking fights with people is a waste of time, you are a democrat and you have the right to YOUR opinion, but so do those who support Mc Cain, since you DO NOT support Mc Cain one must wonder WHY you are even on this post?? Is it to be the  grammar police? To presume that someone who makes a grammatical error here would somehow not be able to care for her patient's is a leap wider than the grand canyon. Let us play nice children, this is a site for fun we really are all adults we have parent's we have teachers we do NOT need the grammar police! Lighten up.

Once again, you missed the point. No, I am not the grammer police. Nor did I call anyone stupid. Ever. Again, you missed the point. Just forget it.

Did you not see where I said we all make typos?

Remember, Ginny, the hacksaw is in the CAKE.

 WOW here you are again, I can not seem to loose you, like a thread caught on your nylon. Every site for Mc Cain and here you are to cause problems again, I am afraid to go to another site of which another has an opposing position to you, I guess I did not realize your need to control each topic.

And there you are again
