No principled conservative could vote for Obama, ever??? MCCain would not have been my choice for the ticket but over Obama, no contest.
Obama, calm leadership under pressure? What pressure? Takes no guts to avoid taking a position either completely by voting 'present" umpteen times, failing to answer tough questions by saying "that's above my pay grade" or by waiting until everyone else is on board before jumping on the majority side. He claimed leadership against the Iraq war but he was NOT even in the Senate at the time so who knows what his position would have been, maybe present? I have not seen a single example of leadership where Obama has accomplished anything but get elected and request nearly $1 million dollars of pork for EVERY SINGLE day he has been in the US Senate.
McCain has shown leadership that has enraged me at times such as Campaign Finance reform and the Gang of 14 but he has tons of visible, VERIFIABLE accomplishments. Oh and BTW, his total requests for Pork projects for ALL the years he has been in Washington representing Arizona: ZERO!
Who do you think will outspend or outlead the other?
Answer: Obama spends, McCain leads. Which do you prefer? I want a leader!
I also do not understand why we don't know anything about Obama's college years, associations, clubs etc. Why will he not release his college transcripts? We know more about John McCain's running mate Sarah Palin's High School days and her kids than we know about Barrack Obama's college days. Given the people he has associated with since then this is a HUGE question in my mind. Transcripts were made available previously for other PRESIDENTIAL candidates which leads me to fear that he must have something to hide. Couldn't be his grades because he would not have been accepted to Harvard Law, right? Why won't he release them???? Could he have more radical associations from those days? Who were his friends then? I have seen no interviews with Obama's close friends, who are they? We have seen tons of Palin's friends and associates interviewed.
Again, who do we know more about? We know more about Palin #2 on the ticket than we do Obama on the top of the Dem ticket. Principle: Who do I trust? McCain over Obama. Easy. End of Rant.
