IF OUR COUNTRY WAS ATTACKED BY TERRORISTS

[hopsing94]

If we were to be attacked by terrorists again who would you rather have as president? Who would you feel more safe with McCain or Obama?

[trippedoutgirl]

You have to know war to fight war. I hope that answers your question.

[LateAugust]

Who are the terrorists?   Quite honestly   the Timothy McVeighs  and the Anthrax lunatics  and the Skinheads  and the Bandito's   etc etc   scare me a LOT more than (I am assuming you are referring to extremist  Muslims)  attacks originated outside the US.        Oh,  and those indiviuals or groups  have and continue to kill many more Americans than "the terrorists" did on 9/11.  I am not diminishing 9/11 one iota   and also lost a loved one on that despicable day,  and continue to pray to God we will eventually go after the perpetrators in Afganistan/Pak.......not Iraq.......whom attacked our country.        But the violence in our country scares me and am surprised it gets so little attention.

To answer your question.......Whomever will committ to funding  and supporting our agencies to fight the random and organized crime originating within the US.

Thank you for answering my question about Obama and his flag pin  = )

[hopsing94]

I know, I know I will stop.  It will be what it will be. I will deal with whatever happens just like anything else. There is alot that remains to be seen. Tomorrow will come and I will go to work just like any other day and life will go on. I can promise you one thing. Anytime there is a chance to vote on something I will be voting.

[VicUser]

I hope you are right, but I am not going to hold my breath and no way would I bet you are right. I will keep my fingers crossed though.

[allaboutmary]

I think if Obama wins you will all be happily surprised.  I'd bet money on it but ....I don't have any.lol  I used to.

VicUser:

I agree with you, but I also think so many people are especially passionate right now.  It's hard to stop the campaigning when you are worried your guy is going to lose.  I agree that we do need to start getting on our local politicians and vote in those we think can get America's work done!  I agree - God bless America!

[VicUser]

Hey man, I know you are passionate about this great country and I too have many concerns about Obama, but give it a rest.

We will know tomorrow who won and like it or not we will have him as the President for 4 years. The time for campaigning is done, it is time now for us to start getting on our Congressmen and women and Senators to do what is right and stop looking out for themselves and special interest. We need to wake up and see that it is up to each one of us to make our lives better and not the Government. May God bless the USA  

[hopsing94]

I don't see how anyone could think for a minute that Obama loves this country. I haven't seen him do anything to show he loves this country. Hell his wife is just now proud of her country. Was she not proud of it when she was getting her college education and while she held her job at the hospital. The Obamas pastor does not like this country and neither do some of Obamas closest friends. The want change for this country allright. They want to change the constitution, they want to take away our right to bear arms. They want to change it from a capitalist society to socialism. Check your history books. Socialism does not work. We will end up a poor broken down country with no jobs, no good health care ( it will be free but your doctor may not be any smarter than a fifth grader) and so much more.

McCain

[allaboutmary]

He wears one all the time.  Maybe not everyday, but probably just as much or more often than McCain.   This was just silly republican spin. Obama loves this country just as much as McCain does. The republicans have tried to make everyone think that Obama is not patriotic with all this stuff.  Actually there are some uninformed people that are falling for it. So I guess it was a good tactic even though I think it's really LOW.

[lonewolf07]

Why won't Obama wear a flag pin on his suit?  Just curious.

[allaboutmary]

Just to straighten out the fraudulent registrations. These were fraudulent "applications".  
I will try to explain this way.....

Magi and I registered voters this year.  You just give the person a form to fill out and enter their license or ID number.   By law all these applications must be turned in to the registration office.....even if the name was Mickey Mouse.  It's at the registration office that these applications are gone through and checked for valid information. These registration offices are run by republicans and democrats equally. So there's no funny business.  
As far as Acorn is concerned they were doing as Magi and I were......having people fill out applications.  They do not do the validation of these applications. They actually tagged the applications they thought were fraudulent before they turned them in, but by law they had to turn them in. The registration office then filters out all fraudulent apps.  
So the bottom line is fraudulent apps do not equal fraudulent votes.  Mickey Mouse never received a registration card after filling out an application.

Yes, there was tons of fraudulent apps. turned in, but this was by employees trying to make easy money.  It is a problem, but DOES NOT LEAD TO FRAUDULENT VOTES.

I am concerned about states that have registration and voting the same day. I'm not sure how those states are weeding out fraudulent apps.  Hopefully they have computer systems set up and can verify the applications on the spot.

I do fear today for the states that did not have early voting.  If there was 6 hr lines in the states that had early voting .......just imagine trying to get it done in one day.  They need to keep those places open until every last person gets to vote today.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE !

The thing that bothers me about the election as a whole is all the problems with registrations. No requirements of id. Today I saw on tv the police found thousands of voter registrations on a highway. The police said it was a civil matter. Does that make sense? There was a report that a bunch of the military registrations were not going to be accepted because they didn't fill in areas or some off the wall reason. That was from one of the voting registration offices.They aren't checking all of the fraudulent registrations where people have registered numbers of times. With no id anyone could come from anywhere and say they are that person. I only tell them my name and address when I go. We atleast want to know our vote is counted. We have no idea if they have sifted and found the fraudulent registrations, so they didn't vote early and get a vote in already. I never heard anything else about what they did about all those registrations they found. Were they taken or were they planted to get them in? Are we going to go to the polls and be told we are not on the list? One of the governors was saying that.This is a mess. Yet nothing moves the date of election. They should have been made to get those things straight before they took in anymore info and extended registration. I mean they are messing with what we go to the polls to do, and we have no idea what they do or have done as far as straightening out what 13 states? This stuff is plastered all over the tv. Then the computerized whatever new machines for voting they said they are having problems with and they might shut down because of so much activity. This has got to be the worst origanization for voting I have ever seen. Has anyone heard anything that we can be assured that they have straighten things out? Since there are thousands and thousands of votes involved it could affect the whole election.

[jollyman069]

everyone just get over it already

[gflmom]

For me, it's simple.  All candidates have pros and cons.  No one is perfect.  And  the two men are completely different.   One man gave myself, including his physical body to his country for the past 40 + years.  The other man came from no where,  got over $600,000 or is it  600 million? from whomever and has pal-ed around with people who DAMN our country.   Question.... why don't these people leave if they feel this country is bad?  hmmmmm   And millions trying to get in !!!
Anyway, because McCain gave so much for us, and he works with all and he has years of experience,  he's got my vote and my prayers.   God bless this country.  We aren't perfect but we try to help all citizens of this world.  Mistakes we will make but our heart is in the right place.    Let's all appreciate what we got here.

[HelpinUtah]

One thing that someone brought up today that made me stop and think is that everyone is falling for Obama's charisma, education and his smooth talk.  But, if you were interviewing someone for a job for a leadership position wouldn't you want that person to have experience in leadership.  Obama, if he wins, will get on the job training!  I'm sorry, but if we hire people based on their resume and experience - how does Obama qualify.  And, in this instance, I'm leaving the fact I disagree with his ideologies aside.  Just that fact alone keeps me from voting for him!

[dominosarah]

well arent you feeling your oats tonight!!!!!!  Go get ready for your tv show!!!  LMAO

[VicUser]

Only if you are running for Pres, lol

[dominosarah]

I dont wear an american flag pin either.........does that mean i dont love my country??

[hopsing94]

Sorry for the rant but I want a president that is a true American that loves this country and believes in the constitution as it is written. Not somebody who wants to rewrite it and turn this country into a socialist society of taking from the workers and giving to the useless. Notice I didn't say poor. I'm all for change but not his kind of change. I want to know I can go to work and make as much money as I can and not have to give more of it than I already am to a bunch of people who do not work, do not want to work and expect goverment handouts. I want somebody who is going to stand up to terrorists and not treat them like they are harmless. These people cannot be dealt with by using diplomacy. I think that is obvious. I want someone who has this countries best interest at heart and who better than someone who was willing to give his life for it.

[hopsing94]

Does it not bother you people that Obama has been raised around people that hate this country. Don't try to give me the (it's not true) thing. Are you telling me your parents and the people around did not infuence you at all growing up. Why is it everyone who is black is voting for him if race has nothing to do with it, yet i'm the racist if I don't vote for him bulls**t!!!
  He won't wear a american flag on his suit. Why? I'll tell you why because he doesn't love this country like I do. Hey can say what he wants I'm not buying it. He has fooled millions of people with his little smile and smooth talk.  Is it so hard to fathom that this man could be as bad as people are saying. His dad hates this country, his mother hates this country and so do most of the people he was raised around hate this country. As much as people say this election is not about race it is. He is praying on and using for his benefit.
   What's the deal with Joe the plumber, why did the dems go after him. He didn't ask for that. He simply asked a question and next thing you know he is being investigated and this was done by Obamas people. Why did they go after the anchor woman if Florida for asking Biden a tough question. Why did he not do any town hall debates. This guy is lying through his teeth. His buddy Ayers should be in prison, he wants to bring this country to its knees. How about reverend Wright, his pastor of 20 years and all of a sudden you don't believe in what he preaches. Give me a freakin break. One lie after another and people are buying it.
