Excuse me but you conservatives want LESS regulation, and MCCAIN is quoted as saying we need less regulation in Washington, of course then this happens, and all of a sudden it is good to have regulation. You can't have it both ways.  This is why MCCAIN can not and will not win on Nov 4, 2008 is because he just can't keep it straight. Well I should say his campaign managers are idiots and have ruined any chance of him winning.

I am a registered independent and ashamed to admit I voted for Bush 8 years ago, however I can not vote for McCain. I had always like John McCain until now. He is a mud slinger and I have never liked that no matter who it is about. We need to know what he plans to do and I am sorry he has missed the mark. And picking Sarah Palin just didn't do what he had hoped it would do and that is get womens votes. He thinks women are stupid doesn't he. She is alright, not VP material but I like her okay. Maybe she will someday be our first women president who knows, but she will not be the first women VP, not this year anyway

Didnt you look at the link I posted that showed the letter McCain was BEGGING to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?  His signature is right across from Ms. Dole!    This was in 2006 and it seems alot of Democrats did NOT sign it..........maybe it's because they were afraid it would bite into their wallet.

                           Maybe.

No i did not look at it, because I have heard it out of his own mouth. Less regulation, less regulation. So maybe he is just saying that because he thinks that is what others want to hear, and if he doesn't say that then he will not be elected... Hmmmmm. Anyhow he won't be elected so I am really not worried about it.

What a load of crap.  How did any of us say we watched it come out of his mouth since this occured in 2006, the head of the house and senate would not let it hit the floor..............are you psychic?  Its a copy of the actual document. 

Obama's friend and financial advisor Franklin Raines was the CEO of Fannie Mae. 

If you hated Ken Lay you should consider what democrats did to Fannie Mae.

Having Franklin Raines as a financial advisor is like having the captain of the Titanic as an advisor on shipping. Raines walked from the doomed mortgage giant with a cool 50 Mil. It is alleged that Fannie Mae CEO's cooked the books for years to show a fake profit which would boost their yearly bonuses. Will we see a senate investigation? Don't make me laugh. The chairman of the senate banking committee democrat Chris Dodd is the numero uno recipient of Fannie Mae political contributions. The second highest recipient was ...guess who...first term senator Obama. Oh yeah, another one of Obama's top advisors, Jim Johnson is also a former CEO of Fannie Mae who walked off with about 35 Mil.

Go Percy and CDNurse..as usual we are on the same wavelength. Go Obama!!!!!!!!!!!

I just am amazed at how people are saying Palin has no experience, and yet Obama(who is running for president not VP) is being given such accolades. On another nursing blog site an obvious Obama supporter has posted all the things wrong with Palin and Mccain. I have asked her over and over to tell me what Obama has done in the years he's been a senator. She has yet to answer that question which I think I've asked at least 2-3 times. She keeps cutting and pasting all this negative stuff about the republican candidates. Both parties have had their share of corruption. As for ranting about Palin's inexperience, well if the Dems are going to do that, then they need to look at their own presidential candidate. They keep acting like McCain is going to drop dead tomorrow and Palin will be in charge. Hello! John McCains Mom is like 93 years old and still going strong. Obama smokes, for all we know he could be courting early health problems.

So, maybe you should educate yourself and look at Obama's record. It is obvious that you do not know yur own candidates' records. Experience? Palin has experience? A part time mayor of a tiny little town? Any one who has lived in a small town knows all about small town politics

I agree with iluvnrsing.  McCain's doesn't appear to look as if he is aging gracefully these days.  Bush looks great, he runs everyday... It makes me nervous that Palin could be our Nation's V.P. and President if something happens to McCain. 

I would have a tougher time choosing a President if McCain had not picked someone like Palin and it's not because she's a woman.  She just doesn't sound confident in her debates with Biden who has a law degree.  Palin has her B.S. in Communications and Journalism.  I would expect the White House to hold their candidates' credentials and experiences to a higher standard.

Why didn't you use your crystal ball 8 years ago when you voted for BUSH.  I'm a democrat, and I had multiple arguments with everyone who would listen that if he got in gas prices would go through the roof and we would go back into Iraq.  Everyone looked at my like I was nuts.  I'm not voting for Obama, I've got feelings strong enough that I'll make another prediction.  BY the time his 4 years are up we will see one major US  city lying in rubble.  I cannot forsee where it comes from, it will either be a domestic terrorist attack or islamic extremists.  But I believe it will involve WMD's.  I foresaw all this mess 8 years ago.  Now that we are in Iraq, unfortunately we are in a pickle.  We can't rapidly withdraw.  Rapid withdrawel the first time around led to the rise of Osama bin Laden.  In times of war, you cannot have someone in power who is an 'appeaser'.  History is littered with Chamberlains, and other's who would make deals to avoid war. 

Kittyrn..I dont see how you see Obama as an appeaser as what he shows is class and style as opposed to a vindictive inexperienced female and McCain needs to retire. If another 911 happens it will be because Bush never caught BinLaden and gave hime time to regroup.

 I still hope Mc Cain wins, I have heard that he will certainly pull off a surprise win. We will all see soon

sinimin, luvnursing, cd, dmaz and others, you know who you are. You all are so bright and know what you are talking about. I am afraid of those who are just passing on wrong information and have no idea what they are talking about.

Why are you afraid shrinklpn?  For those who are not conservative people who are praying that McCain and Pailin wont win this election, why are you posting here?  By your comment 'you are all so bright' do you feel that those who aren't liberal are idiots?  After this election is over, we're still going to be nurses.  When I am at  work, I do not speak about politics.  In this forum, I feel more comfortable to vent. 

In the last week or so, I have changed my mind over a couple of issues but I'm still conservative and I wont ever support late term abortion.

I heard that there was going to be a porno flick with a Sarah Pailin lookalike.  The guy who has Hustler magazine, cant think of his name.  That is so disrespectful.  I would feel the same bile in my throat if they were doing it on Nancy Pelosi, Hilliary Clinton, Barbara Box, etc.   All of these women have families and despite them being in a different political  party, I hope all women on this link...............and men too, wont be hooting and hollering about that if it is true that its going to be made.  Its exploitation of women and by doing a nasty film associating the star with an American politician, it's an insult to our country.

What am I afraid of? What am I afraid of? First, it frightens me that so many of you are bullies and think that you tell us where we can or cannot post. No, I never said tat conservatives are idiots.  (Despite the fact that you left the apostrophe out of the word won’t twice, and misspelled Hillary)
What frightens me is that people are posting, sending emails, and spouting off just absurd crap such as Obama is antichrist, posting junk that they have no idea even what is being said. I am afraid of those who do not think for themselves and simply spout of Bible verses out of context and are so stupid to think tat a terrorist would get so far as Obama has without detection. That is idiotic.  

You have just embarrassed yourself and it amuses me that you would attempt to be a grammar police .....it doesnt count online, especially to me.  I'm not in school........ this group has been down that road before.  Have I called obama the antichrist?  Nope.  BTW, you are being reminded that this is a McCain thread.  For the last several days I have tried to leave off mouthing off my dislike of the Obama/Biden ticket out of respect for friends that I have who support that ticket.    I'm sure there are others who have done that as well.  One of these days, maybe somebody will teach you good manners. 

Darla, you can not fight it. Just pick and choose your battles. Don't let a few drive you off from nursing. This is not a very pretty picture here of what nursing is all about.

As far as 'fear' being brought into this

Obama brought fear into this when he associated with Tony Rezko and real life radicals like Bill Ayers, and Rev Jeremiah Wright.  More recently he told a plumber on Fox news, that he wanted to 'redistribute the wealth'.  Last time I checked that's socialism.  One of the nurses that I work with is an Obama supporter, and she said "Socialist nations are a happy people", If you believe that than do vote for Obama.  Freedom will be dead.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

Great choice- from Dune by Frank Herbert

here's a few of my fear favorites:

• No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear. --Edmund Burke
  

   

  
  


• Let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. --Franklin D. Roosevelt
  

   

  
  


• He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
