Contined 3) Senator McCain has a history of using his Senate seat to influence the public on behalf of corporations and lobbyists. He has shown that his services can be bought for money and affection;The Keating 5 scandal where he received 112,000 to intervene on behalf of the Keating&Lincoln Savings&Loan Bank. The bank collapsed. McCain admitted to :"using poor Judgement" and was let off. This "poor Judgement by McCain and the other 4 bi-partisan senators cost tax payers over 3Billion dollars. The second case was with his alledged girlfriend Vicki, a young lobbyist who solicited his intervention on behalf of a media group, needing FCC approval on a TV project. McCain drafted 2 letters(at her direction of the draft) to the FCC. That agency's chairman "in a rare move, admonished McCain for his inappropiate actions." As president he would have access to power that could be very dangerous if compromised by a weak leader. These are just a few of the reasons I question this candidate's capacity to lead the nation.

i guess whom ever we are voting for we can twist what the other canidate says to fit our thinking. mccain is too old, obama is too young, mccain have been around for 30 years(old) mr obama have not experience but yet he have beaten the clintons. two former president have endorse mr obama with a vice-president thrown in for good luck..mccain supporters you really think this man is going to do better than president bush if he believe the same issues as the president. the surge is working so what we would not need a surge if their was no war in the first place get it.the republican have this problem no matter what you say or do. the country is in such a bad shape the american people is willing to give mr obama a chance.we have been at war since bush took office everythink have gone up since he took office. mccain is the same. you can not change anything if you have the same old people in the same old jobs doing the same old thinks. mccain says he been in this for 30 years thats the problem its not experience it complacent. just think he had 30 years to get the job done and yet we still talking about what he could do.

The Republican party has an agenda for a NEW middle East and they are going after it with gusto.They already want permanent military bases in Iraq.They have been trying to figure out a way to go to war with Iran.If they have their way Syria and other midde Eastern countries better watch their back too.That is one of many reasons to put a Democrat in the White House.I believe it to be the lesser of 2 EVILS.Democrats are not going to be overnight heroes that turn things around ,but this world can not take another 4 years of Republican rule,and don't be fooled,they do want to Rule at whatever the cost,including your sons and daughters in a future military draft.

Neither Senator Obama nor Senator McCain know all about everything. Both have their strengths and growth areas. I'm waiting to find out who each will pick as their running mate, and then vote the party. However, I'm a little reluctant to vote democrat for fear of higher taxes and some other issues that the democrats support that scare me.
