I am now convinced that McCain will win. There is too much racism in the US to elect Obama, who is more popular abroad than in the US. Potentially nasty outcome as next President will probably appoint several supreme court justices and the US will turn even more sharply right.....

Obamas popularity at home is starting to wane because he has no substance to him. I don't think racism comes into it, he did after all win the democratic nomination. I just think people are looking at him and thinking "what's he done, what does he stand for" and making up their own minds.

As for lurches to the right, McCain is certainly well to the left of Bush in the accepted sense. He's not the Democrats favourite republican for nothing. If he wins it will be because Dems move across to him and possibly because some of the far right Christians dont think him right wing enough to vote for.

Funny that, the same accusations could be made of McCain, the democratic republican. What does he stand for exactly? No one knows, mainly because he doesn't. It's interesting that again, you're using the same rhetoric that Nulabour is using against Cameron and the Conservatives, ie inexperienced, no policies, poor previous record of Conservatives, current woes are 'not our fault but the fault of world economic conditions,' the state of the country is due to the damage done by the last Democrat/Conservative government.

When such rhetoric is used by the Labour party I always think it smacks of desperation from a government who have lost control and have flushed the country down the toilet, as have the republicans. They know that, which is why they've chose McCain as the least Republican of them all.

unfortunately i would have to agree and say mccain, though i do hope i am wrong.

obama strikes me as being intelligent and articulate, and has a political outlook more or less in line with my own.

mccain is bush without the chimp grin, all spin and speechwriters.

NObama's Socialism seems to have been favored in Europe. I can understand that, with his Global Poverty Act in Congressional committee ready to be acted on! The cost of that little diddy will be $845 Billion dollars for 10 years. Giving it ALL to the U.N. to do with as they please, seems to be in style in Europe.

His 1 trillion dollars in NEW spending plans, his 1 Trillion dollars in NEW TAXES with the Rangel tax bill, again just sitting in committee, and his upcoming proposal for a CIVIALIAN NATIONAL SECURITY FORCE of 5 million people, is just insane! This Security force plan is supposed to have the BUDGET EQUAL to the current military spending bill.

You European's have NO IDEA whatsoever of what this Socialist would do to America. You folks perhaps relish the thought of America, now becoming a second rate country, giving it's wealth to share with the rest of the world, As an American, I do NOT want that to happen. I currently enjoy my lifestyle, have worked hard for 45 years to enjoy it in my retirement.

His lies, his changes in policy, his associations with racists, convicted felons, and unrepentent terrorists are still not answered. His current status as an American citizen is in question, going to court, and will have to be answered by Sept. 24. There are so many problems with this man, that I find it almost beyond belief that this man has made it to this point!

His Vice Presidential candidate, Biden, yesterday claimed that Hillary Clinton would have made a better Presidential, or Vice Presidential candidate, then he would have!

Can you imagine your countries #2 person making that assertion about someone else?

Please, if you people love this man so much, offer him the Presidency of the EU with a few million Euro paycheck per year, and we'll shake his hand and say au revoir

There would be NO PROBLEM with American's voting for a black man OR WOMAN, with CONSERVATIVE ideas! Michael Steele, Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams, J.C. Watts, Janice Rogers Brown, Stephen L. Carter, Larry Elder, Roy Innis, Alan Keyes, Condoleeza Rice, Shelby Steele, and Clarence Thomas just to name a few, would be more then satisfactory, BUT everyone of these fine BLACK PEOPLE would be castrated by the radical, Liberal left in America, as being Uncle Tom's, and being in the WHITE MAN'S pocket!

Perhaps you don't realize that RACE BAITING in America is the bread and butter of such feckless Nubians as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, The Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and many other smaller players!

It's IDEAS, NOT color that is driving todays Presidential elections.

Tom, they HAD it here in Las Vegas 2-1 NObama, odd, I couldn't get anyone on the U.S. political threads to take me for my $1000 to their $2000!

My advise is throw a few HUNDRED quid on SARAH! She has the Democrats completely confused here.

One GREAT comment I heard today on radio was the "Sarah has gotten into NObama's head...... he doesn't know if he should defacate or wind his watch!"

SARAH is a beautiful young 44 year old woman, has 1/3 of the former women that were for Hillary, leaving the Democratic party to vote for her, that's 6 MILLION women's votes! A mother of 5, son yesterday went to Iraq with his military company. Her last child was a Downs Syndrome Baby, she and her husband KNEW about it, but refused to even consider abortion.

Even the radical feminists here, FEEL for Sarah, she is a sister, and are not talking her down! Her life story is compelling, a definite movie plot, and did I mention, she's excedingly SEXY, especially to OLD men like me!

Sad, isn't it, you watching the world change around you, and there's not one thing you can do about it. Vote McCain all you like, he's going to lose. Obama will be president. The Republicans are grasping at straws, and that's all this little bump in the polls is. They put forward their most democratic candidate, hoping to fool America. They chose a good-looking (if you are old and white) woman, hoping to fool American women and withered old McCain clones (seems to have worked for you, but I daresay you were going to vote republican anyways). And they are using sleazy underhanded tactics like focusing on innocuous phrases, ignoring the big issues that count. Again, they are only fooling the fools, and it's not going to be enough.

As for not wanting America to be second-rate, you lost that race to the Chinese a long time ago. This is a Post-American world, get used to it. The only thing America had going for it, once the Asian/Chinese jaggernaut awoke, was the democratic ideal it was founded on. That was raped by the Republicans, leaving America hollow.

Unfortunately for the republicans, the ordinary American is not going to be fooled or scared into voting for them this time around. They can keep trying, and it will be amusing to watch them proclaim victory up until the last second, but they will lose.

Spoken like a true Socialist.

I gave you some reasons the CHIMP will lose this election, by this time the WANNABE COMMIE team should be 10-15% ahead of the Republican's to even make it a race. Currently ALL polls have McCain up by 3-4% and ALL talk is about SARAH/McCain. The Chimp last night on Letterman even said he's been replace on TIME'S cover by Sarah.

Please, list the CHIMP's accomplishments, his legislation passed and his legislation he was PRIMARY sponsor on? I'll like to see that list of what he has accomplished for America.

mccain/palin are only up as they are getting press. nothing else has happened recently, and to guys like yourself she represents a veritable wankfest being borderline female, right wing, and a gun lover.

i for one cannot wait until the media bullst ends and we see true debates between the candidates. obama will absolutely slaughter mccain in head to head debate.

I see you can't answer my question about anything the CHIMP has accomplished or was a primary sponsor on in Congress! I'll help you, the ONLY thing he was the PRIMARY SPONSOR on was a 50 million dollar bill for KENYA relief!!!!

Nothing at all for American's, but that KENYA bill, and that money is now under investigation in Kenya because it seems that some of his relatives might have ended up with some of it!

That CHIMP remark, let me explain it to you, and others!

Yes, the CHIMP is a chimp, monkey, baboon, and others of that gender, besides being a racist, idiot, liar, drug addict, homosexual and other assorted names!

You see, the LEFT has been calling Bush a Chimp, monkey, baboon and a lot worse for almost 8 years. Showing facial expressions that resemble a chimp. Because The CHIMP (NObama) has a resemblance to a monkey MORE then Bush did, does not get him a FREE PASS! Being BLACK does not get him a FREE PASS, as much as liberals CRY about me being a RACIST, derogatory, or insensitive. Equal treatment is just that equal! The left started it, I will finish it!

I do it specifically because it pisses those liberal scum off! Anyone doesn't like it, tough st! Until I am banned from this site for the expression of MY opinion, I will continue to post it.
