The government isn't giving "the rich" more money, they are lowering taxes for successful Americans and American business.  I don't think you understand what tax cuts are. Thinking that raising taxes on the producers in this country will help is insane.

Taxes in the 90's?  Like the ones that were part of the recession from the 90's?  And who cares who Bill Gates supports?  Communists support Obama, maybe that should tell you something.

Can an Obama supporter go through a post without using "change"?  How is the messiah going to lower the deficit if he is proposing billions and billions in new government spending?  Notice he doesn't talk about that much.  The "economic stress" in this country is due to people spending more than they make.  We don't need a nanny government to take care of our every single need.

But then again, we are talking about Obama who has never accomlished anything.

If elections were decided solely on the quality & style of speech delivery, Dewey, Stevenson and Goldwater (especially Goldwater) would be former Presidents.

The only modern era Presidents who were really good speechmakers were Kennedy & Reagan.  Kennedy won largely because the media fell in love with his style (they were much more influential then) & Mayor Daly fell in love with his dad's money.  Reagan the campaigner was derided by the media, but he served up the content of his message so well that the media couldn't undermine him; there was a lot of real meat message in all that flowery rhetoric and a sincerity that was genuine.

Obama is a skilled orator with a one-note message (Change!, especially Nuanced Change!) and fake sincerity (otherwise known as arrogance), so don't pin your hopes on his 'skill' as a speechmaker.

This is the tack that Obama & his supporters have been hammering on, obviously, but I don't think the McSame label is going to stick.  McCain, of all the Republicans, is about the only one who could believably acknowledge that the party had strayed from its principals and needed to return to its core values & behavior.  The Contract With America was a very powerful & effective concept; had the Republicans not left it in the dust, things might be a lot different about now.  There is also a good chance that McCain's values are more closely aligned with those of the majority of Americans than Obama's values are.  When Obama calls for a windfall profits tax on the Hollywood movie studios' record profits from this summer, I may take him more seriously.

Heh, heh... of course, he won't.  That's potential campaign cash, after all, not to mention potential Obama Library/Tabernacle/Shrine/Memorial/Temple cash... you know, a place to house the evidence of all his 'great works'... like the two autobiographies he wrote before doing anything but graduating from law school & getting off drugs.

Obama quoted this fact saying that we can't take a 10% chance that things are going to change.  The fact is that Obama has voted in line with the do-nothing Democratice party leaders in Washington 97% of the time.  Democrats have had a majority in both Congress and Senate for the last few years and have accomplished little more than declaring National Watermelon Month when there are so many issues that really need addressed.  McCain and Palin have both done things in office that effective positive change, Obama has not.  Obama and Biden have also been ranked even more Liberal than the self-proclaimed socialist from Vermont.  If you like socialist values, don't vote, move to a socialist country to see what it's really like first, don't ruin this country for the rest of us!

We need to be more concerned with the actions, not the words anyhow.  It's not what you say that matters in the long run.  It's what you do that matters. 

Like I said on my blog....."Don't sing me no Song.  Don't read me no rhyme.  Don't waste my time.  Show me!" 

MCCain  may not be all that flowery in his speech but his talk is straight up.  He is much more believeable than Obama by a long shot. 

So the question is would you rather have a President who seems to speak well and look good in a three piece suit, or would you like a man who will get the job done and listens to the voice of the people? 

comon now !!!! Sarah Palin is not a change for the likes of you and me???? look at her ..... it is sure a huge change man.

whether that is the change we need or not ... you are not supposed to ask.... if you do then you are nit-picking and sexist. how dare you question an old POW or a young beauty queen? are you insane like me?!!!!!

and the media should be ashamed of themselves for wanting to question both the man and his trophy vice about their policies ... it is about personality .. not issues ...

get a grip and see the light-torch held up by the people who are "fighting" for "US" for the last 8 years. were you under a rock like me during that fight?

P.S.: McCain cancelled his appearence on CNN after a reporter questioned one of his supporters about Palin's qualifications. .... just questioned what her accomplishments were ... not even challenging the answer ...

it is an old pow and a beauty queen ... that should be enough ..... you hear !!!!!!

I agree ID, it just goes to show you the left thinks any money earned is their's to do want they wish with it. Where do they think the "government money" comes from? Do they think the rich say "tax me more, so you can give it back to me".

I personally don't care too much f the candidate spoke like Elmer Fudd (Sure the media would have a field day, more so if he/she were a republican) as long as they are competent and have a clue (ie. experiance). The candidate is not being hired by the people to make speeches, if they can good but it shouldn't be the deal maker. Be more afraid of a smooth talker, telling you what you (and everyone else) what he/she thinks you want to hear. Your bottle of snake oil will be right up

McCain even stated before that he knows little about about economics. So your best to take a look at his economic team.....and which lobbying firms they all work for. As far as taxes go the fact that 2/3 of US corporations pay no profits tax should make people realize that the business rate is not the problem...the problem is that the tax code is not broad based enough. As far as personal income tax if you believe McCain will not end up raising taxes you are mistaken. Read his lips as closely as you read Bush Sr.'s lips years ago.

So when a candidate picks a vp  that gets more earmarked dollars per capita for her state than any other and who fires those in government who have an opposing view, one has to wonder how much of what he says that he really means. He says lobbyists and earmarks are the biggest problems in Washington yet his team of advisors is mostly lobbyists and his vp pick is really an earmark queen not a reformer.

I used to like McCain but now i wonder if hes a bigger liar than Carl Rove. His judgement has been terrible in regards to his campaign and that really has to make people wonder how far along his altzeimers is.

If someone votes for McCain to serve as check and balance on the Dems thats one thing, but if you believe he will be in a position to deliver on anything he promises you are mistaken.

At least he is honest.  Obama does not know squat either, but have you heard him admit it?

The only Change Hussein will give America is the Change left over from your paycheck after he raises taxes through the roof, more and more he is starting to remind me of Prince John, a man who delighted in taxing the people to the point of starvation, unfortunately we have no Robin Hood to save us.

Pretty much the reason we have elections.  We get to decide what's 'worse.'

You know Robin Hood robbed from the rich and gave to the poor, right?  Conservatives and McCain supporters around here generally don't like giving to the poor much from what I've read, so are you sure Robin Hood would be a savior?
