In my last post someone inferred that Mc Cain would be a better president cause he is more like a regular joe.
My question is, when did we as americans decide that we would settle for regular, ordinary, average or common people to lead us? Do we really want that in a time of crisis? Is regular joe code for something else? Where our founding fathers regular joes? |

I just think it's funny how McCain, who's the son of an army admiral and married into being millionaire, is the regular joe, whereas Obama, who was raised by a single mom and grandparents who at one point had to be on food stamps, went to school with scholarships and loans, and is a self made millionaire is less of a regular joe.
Anyway, there's nothing wrong with wanting to identify your candidate, but I agree that there's a huge problem with anti-intellectualism. I want a smart president, sorry. I mean, I don't want my president to be an elitist, but I do want him to be elite. |

When is it that we are going to stop with the high school litmus test as far as President goes and start voting for those who are actually going to be the best at the job?

I remember people saying that they voted for Bush because he was someone they could have a beer with.

I am surprised that the Mc Cain lovers haven't argued this point.

if you do not want the same things to happen do not do the same things that lead to what is happening -------- if you do not want spam stop giving out email address to unknown sites is that easy enough correlation -------------- oh yeah i forgot the name of the thread thats it yep |

McCain and Obama are both intelligent and capable.
McCain has however demonstrated a great deal more capability over the years as a leader, statesman, legislator and independent. Obama maybe great or maybe a disaster. If he gets elected let's hope it isn't another disaster like the other recent inexperienced presidents we have elected, namely George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter. 
Unfortunately McCain has sold out during this campaign to the far right wing of his party instead of reaching out to the independents. Likewise, Obama has cow-towed to the far left elements in his party too and he managed to select the one running mate whose gaffes can be actually compared with Palin's. So yeah, we are pretty much stuck either way. (bows head) Let us pray.

I don't care how experienced you are if you keep making the same mistakes and trying to maintain the status quo. I also believe that he has something to prove in terms of having America come out as the "Victor". That is the scariest thing about him to me. War is a last resort and not something to cling to to prove a point.

"""I don't care how experienced you are if you keep making the same mistakes""" i thought you said you did not know what i said if you want differnt output (differnt reaction) then change the input (quit making same mistakes[choices]) |

There is a need to allow different opinions & not argue in the threads.
respect others, as you want to be respected. |

War is a last resort and not something to cling to to prove a point. one of the scariest things about Obama is that he does not seem to appreciate how important it is to help moderates prevail in the middle east. in battle, victory is ummmm "preferable" for a variety of reasons.
well - we shall see. all respectfully though! i do hope that whoever gets elected in fact does recognize the need for moderation. the urgent need to represent all americans and the real importance of walking the walk while reaching across the aisle.
