Me too, I guess. I also held my nose and voted for McCain and we now have a never ending war. I guess I should have known better.

Default Satire

Huh, I hope you realize that my heading was satire?


Many people voted for The Annointed One because he said he would end the war and he didn't.

The "War" could go on after we are dead and buried.

I don't think the satire in your heading was missed... I voted for Obama and he did say he would get us out of the war and he didn't!!! You will NEVER see me defend someone who says they will do something and doesn't... But that goes for the republicans as well.

Don't missunderstand. There I have issues with BOTH sides!!!

I did not vote for McCain because I didn't think Sarah would be a good president and Mr. McCain was in his 70's.

I voted for mcCain because I believe and still do that he would have better managed these two wars, our foreign policy and eventually bring closure faster and in a better mannere than Dems. On the economic side is there anyone who still believes that Obama is better at fixing the economy then McCain? McCain's commitment,and love for this country and his stic-to-itive=-ness was greatly needed.

Rubicon,

If the Republican ticket in 2008 was McCain (Huckabee, Romney) they would have won. It was putting Sarah Palin on as the VP candidate that lost the election for Republicans. She and her family (not bashing here) were too much baggage for voters to want a heartbeat from being President.

Put up someone like Romney with Huckabee as VP candidate and Republicans can win in 2012. Put up Bachmann or Paul and middle of the road to moderate right voters will vote for the Democrat candidates.

You could be right.. But from where I sit... Paul is a Dem favorite! If they run him... I think he might give Obama a run for his money...

I am greatly concerned that the right GOP candidates get chosen because as I stated elesewhere journalist and voters are too easily distracted with nonsens and not focusing on substantive issues. I for one am going to work hard to remain reticent concerning candidates incosequential gaffes and stay focused on whether they are making sense on plans to fix the country

rubicon, that is the most intelligent things I've read in the TOTV political forum in a long time.
