I really would have preferred Romney or Hillary but with the set of candidates that we have I will be voting for McCain. I am going to trust that the Republican fiscal responsibility will again make itself known, and although I am not foolish enough to believe that the bailout isn't gonna be paid for by US, I want no further foolishness of granting loans to people with no history of keeping their bills paid.

I have to admit that I am a sucker for a quick wit and I really enjoyed McCain's roast speech, even perhaps written by someone else, he delivered it with the style and polish of John Kennedy. He was disarming.

Don't jump on me. My decision is based on my ideas and feelings, just like yours. Probably no better or worse than your decision. Frankly the mess we have allowed someone to create in this country is gonna make me return to church and pray. I needed to anyway.

stick to your guns. i will be voting the other way, but dont let anyone ruffle your feathers. As long as you vote, that is what counts.

There is no question that both McCain and Obama have professional speech writers, particularly for a comedy routine such as they both delivered.

GASPING FOR AIR! Gracie! I love you and respect your vote and opinion, but please, please, don't ever compare McCain to John Kennedy! OMG! I must sit down. Oh I am sitting down.
OK, it's back to bed for me.

Oh John Kennedy? I remember him, charming he was!

He's the one that did that Bay Of Pigs thing, wasn't it? Oh, and I remember that he started the Vietnam war when he first sent "observers" (troops to train the South Vietnamese) to Vietnam. Wasn't it Lyndon Johnson who escalated the war after Kennedy's assassination? I believe what they started cost us 53,000, FIFTY THREE THOUSAND American lives! The rumor is that they were Democrats! My word!

But, some people think that only Republicans start wars, or spend Millions/billions of dollars of tax money doing it, or have cost American lives!

Better I sit down and wait for the response to this post. After all, I am a Republican and must be stupid from what some people say! NOT!

graciegirl: Congratulations on using some common sense in deciding your vote. I seldom (seldom) agree with your comments. But, this one makes a lot of sense to me. You know what you are getting by voting for McCaine. God only knows what Obama has in store for this country if elected. Stick to your guns and remember that not everyone is going to disagree with you.

might i be ready to read the following.

On March 17, 1960, the US President Dwight D. Eisenhower agreed to a recommendation from the Central Intelligence Agency to equip and drill Cuban exiles for action against the new Cuban government of Fidel Castro.[4] Eisenhower stated it was the policy of the US government to aid anti-Castro guerrilla forces.[5] The CIA was initially confident it was capable of overthrowing the Cuban government, having experience assisting in the overthrow of other foreign governments such as the government of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh in 1953 and Guatemalan President Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán in 1954.

dont think it was all Demo JFK?

President Kennedy knew of Eisenhower's plan before he took office. A Republican and the CIA dreamed it up, but it was Kennedy the implemented a plan that HE. as the new leader of the government, could have stopped if he so chose. He could have been the leader of "Change in our Government" and did not.

"The President said then that the plan was so advanced when he came into office in January that it seemed almost impossible to cancel it. The brigade of fourteen hundred anti-Castro Cubans had been in training under CIA officers on a plantation in Guatemala for several months; they were fully armed and eager and ready to go into action. 'If we decided now to call the whole thing off,' the President said, 'I don't know if we could go down there and take the guns away from them.' The President was also under pressure not to postpone the takeoff date of the invasion force any longer. The government of Guatemala was worried about the presence of one thousand four hundred armed foreigners in its country. The President of Guatemala had asked President Kennedy to get the Cubans out of his republic before the end of April, which was then less than two weeks away. Intelligence reports said that Castro was about to receive MIG jets from the Soviet Union, along with Cuban pilots trained in Czechoslovakia to fly those fighter planes. The rebels had to stage their attack before the Russian planes were available for duty in Cuba. The President said he had finally agreed with some reluctance to approve the plan and the date of the landings, Monday, April 17, after the CIA and the Joint Chiefs of Staff accepted his strict stipulation that no American forces could take part in the invasion. He mentioned that Dean Rusk had showed a lack of enthusiasm for the project but was willing to go along with it, provided that the President's insistence on no American military participation was scrupulously observed."

lets here some numbers on IRAQ????

President Kennedy was the most polished speaker of any president that I can remember. The pair of them were admired on the global front for their wit,their class, their dress, their manners and their style. Later his morals too were suspect which made me very sad. Yes I am a Republican today, but I was a Democrat then.

Why oh Why am I in political?

Say Goodnight Gracie.
