Answer 2

This is a deliberate attempt to ruin the country by electing McCain-Palin.

They are absolutely strangers to each other.

Answer 3

Because I want to keep more socialism from creeping into the government.

Answer 4

Stand for the National Anthem , Salutes the flag. does not engage in socialist and communist ideas,Believes in American , has never been ashamed of America has worked all over the world for economics and foreign communications. Picked the best Vice President Candidate that was out there . Has a much better plan that 'peace and change " with Obama not offering of what that is exactly  .  

Answer 5

I want McCain because I dont want a muslim trying to run this country

Answer 6

Because he is certainly more experienced than Obama, he's not a socialist, he will not raise my taxes, he does not believe in socialized medicine (thank god - my husband is from England - I know something about National Health policies) he is Republican!  Not sure about your unemployment rate comment considering it currently isnt' that high.

Answer 7

I'm voting for McCain because I want my husband to die in Iraq (he's a marine). I want our economy to go into total ruins. I want my freedoms  taken away from me in the name of fighting terrorism. I also want to pay ridiculous co-pays for average medical care for simple medical problems. I love McCain! I love it everytime my taxes are raised, I love it everytime gas prices go up, I love the fact that he says he will put a nuclear power plant in every state.

NOT!

Answer 8

3.3 % growth 2nd quarter of 2008

and all troops are leaving Iraq by 2011

Unemployment rate under 5.6% (the same as under clinton)

so all of your "concerns" seem to have been fixed

your welcome for the enlightenment

Answer 9

this is really not a good question,both palin and mccain have sons in the war.do you really think that they don't have their best interest at heart.our employment is at 5.6% with a booming economy this would be considered phenominal ! poverty has went down,all economic indicators show this.quit listening to huffington,the cos,code pink etc.

Answer 10

Well, he isn't my favorite republican candidate, but our other option,Obama, is just scary. He has virtually no experience or any type of qualifications for the job. He speaks extremely well and is very articulate, but without a prepared speech or teleprompter he wouldn't survive. He seems to be the one bringing up the race card more than anyone else, which I think is a ridiculous reason to vote for someone. You should vote for someone based on what you think of their polices and plans, not because they are a woman, man, black, white, etc. During his very short time as a senator he has hardly even voted on any issues, rather than saying "yay or nay" he just votes present, so that he doesn't have to make a decision. The only times he ever voted it was always to raise taxes. (You can look this up on his voting record with the Illinois State Senate, because i'm sure many liberals won't believe this and just vote me down, whatever). He wants to pull out of a war before we have completed the mission, which so far has in fact been successful and not pointless. More Iraqis have electricity, water, access to schools, and a working stock market to help their economy than ever. Unlike what the liberal news stations show, it is not a total disaster, and most soldiers who have been there will tell you this. It is horrible that American soldiers have died, but if you look at a history book you will see that compared to other wars our casualties are very low. Look at the casualties of D-day alone! Obama wants to tax the rich and big businesses, which will cause many businesses to have to lay off people because of the higher taxes- this would not equal more jobs. I suggest you read Obama's books, if you do you probably won't vote for him either, as he condemns himself in his own words. His books show him to be extremely racist- he talks about how he never wanted to associate with his mother because she was white. He also states that if something occurs between Americans and the Middle East, that he would take the side of the Muslims. While I hardly believe that all Muslims are bad, this is far from the truth, the fact that he would say this during this delicate time concerning terrorism is pretty scary.

All of this is the reason why I, and many others, will be voting for McCain. And no, I'm not racist as many people who disagree with me will accuse me of being.

Answer 11

Look at the latest census polls, household income up, poverty down, uninsured down. I'll take a little Mcsame with that kind of news.

Second I don't think America can afford any of Obambi's change. Change for the worse is change but not what America needs.

Answer 12

Even though I'm a regisetered Democrat, I would have voted for McCain 8 years ago, even though Gore probably wouldn't have been anywhere near as bad as republicans said.  But thanks to Rove and his typical smear campaigns, we got stuck with Bush as president.  

But McCain isn't the same guy these days.  I don't think he's much of a maverick anymore, more like a company man.  Oh well.

Answer 13

Because he might die in office and then we'll get the lovely Sarah Palin

Answer 14

Because, while Obama TALKS a good fight.  His policies will bring increased taxes to the working class.  He'll simply blame the republicans somehow and his followers will believe him.

He has also promised to weaken our military in a time when there is a lot of instability in the world.

He has chosen to align himself with some pretty disgraceful people such as Wright and Ayers, showing either  lack of judgment his associations or he is truly anti-American beyond simple criticism.

McCain was not my first choice, but as far as I am concerned, he's WORLDS better than Obama.

Answer 15

I think you should understand OSAMA BIN LADEN'S POLICY. Higher taxes, more government control. This is just aging this country into communism. Obama is unexperienced (even hillary said it), his foreign policies are weak and his national defense plans are weak. McCain is not perfect, but he's certinaly better.

Answer 16

81% of the nation thinks that Bush has us on the wrong track.  A vote for McCain keeps us on that wrong track.....  I guess country first is just a cute little sound bite with no meaning.

Answer 17

Nope, that's going to happen if Obama is president because he is a socialist. h**l he might even become the next Hitler. Got it?

And I vote Adoc for best answer... She is right on the money.

Answer 18

Because people are afraid of change.

My god Mcsames running mate Mrs. Nobody doesnt even know what a VP does. she is an idiot and so is he
