SailorMitch will become famous soon enough
mccain's speeech was a bomb in my view. he made valid comparisons with obama but he came across as insincere. he has to loose that vapid smile that makes him loook like a used car salesman. didn'twatch obama. hilllary refuses to hear the fat lady singing in her ear. her speech also sucked. same old hilll. its all ABOUT HER.

Yeah but you catch the Obama speech in progress...15 billion he pledges to give to Israel for defense - how about that 15 billion spent here solving our own energy crisis...

It will not be 4 or 8 years of the same - it will be 4 - 8 years of something even worse...but thats change

One of my favorite parts of Barack Obama's speech last night:

The other side will come here in September and offer a very different set of policies and positions, and that is a debate I look forward to. It is a debate the American people deserve. But what you don't deserve is another election that's governed by fear, and innuendo, and division. What you won't hear from this campaign or this party is the kind of politics that uses religion as a wedge, and patriotism as a bludgeon - that sees our opponents not as competitors to challenge, but enemies to demonize. Because we may call ourselves Democrats and Republicans, but we are Americans first. We are always Americans first.

The reason being is that Obama can't afford to get in a discussion of religion or patriotism; It would only highlight his communistic and racial point of views that the media has helped keep under control while these two radical lefties duked it out
