Obama and McCain

Ok, is it possible for us to skip a presidential election? just say "Pass" to the offered candidates. We could just try maybe to skip 4 years of having a president?

I honor John McCain for his service to the country and his heroism but the man is just too old, he is not up to speed with life in the modern USA and is sheltered from the issues by his wealth and position. He admits he doesn't use computers and frankly his temper worries me.

Obama on the other hand has zero experience, and has not once revealed any details of his real plans....if in fact he actually has any real plans other than to bring us to a new socialist paradise. I believe that if he does get elected he will be nothing but a puppet for the DNC, because it is inconceivable a 1 term politician is up for the highest seat in the land. His comments that he "Will have to earn the trust of the American people" is outrageous. I am sorry but if you are to hold the office of president, you better damn well already be TRUSTED! And what is it with this press orgy for him? he has a hundred reporters following him around the world, and McCain has a single reporter show up at his arrival at a New Hampshire visit. I swear this guy reminds me of the movie The Omen, it feels like we are watching a man propelled by the dark forces of the netherworld, succeeding on nothing but flash and no substance. One last thought about Mr. Obama and that is...how bout the press start ridiculing him for his speaking gaffs? They crucify Bush for the least error while speaking but the big O gets a free pass on even the largest blunders.

I know many people are going to make protest votes for third party candidates or people who are not even on the ballot, to me this is a major waste of time and essentially a vote for Obama by proxy. Yes I want to send a message to the so called "Conservative" leaders and to promote my Libertarian ideas as well, but you do that at the state and local levels where the third party candidates can actually win, for National level elections, like it or not, you only have two effective choices, Democrat or Republican....deal with it.

Thirde party votes are indeed not going to help keep Obama out of office. The man's outlook on matters of a serious nature, positively scare the daylights out of me.

His "let's all sing around the campfire" method of diplomacy is going to end up with us with a nuclear strike in our borders in his term should that ever happen.

I agree completely Brigid.
The only thing that keeps me stable and from freaking out about this presidential run, is that I live to the north and west of the beltway area and fallout should follow a more easterly flow.

We have some rolling hills between us and prime target area and should be fine should some goober sneak a nasty into the area.

That and we keep the house well stocked with food and water and emergency generators for power.
