If you’re selling a product that has been around a long time, and sales are beginning to drop-off. You change the looks of the package and come up with a new slogan to sell your product. This is the McCain-Palin strategy. The last seven and a half years John McCain has voted 90% of the time in line with President Bush. Mrs. Palin, a woman (new package) speaks the same ideas (although she didn’t know the Bush doctrine) as Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney. Can you afford another four years of the same? The Republican Party that over the past seven and a half years has come to be known as the borrow and spend Republicans. Mr. McCain has never seen a trade agreement he didn’t like. Look at the jobs lost in this country due to unfair trade agreements, with your tax dollars helping subsidize those companies’ move. How can anyone really want to vote for the McCain-Palin ticket? Mr. McCain wants to give taxpayers a health insurance deduction at the end of the year. Which is fine if your employer doesn’t provide this, but if your employer pays partial or full amount, this dollar amount will be added to your taxable income at the end of the year. He isn’t helping working class families. He’s helping corporations to find a way out of paying for healthcare for their employees and their families. Look at the Chrysler Mini-Vans now going to be assembled in Canada. These citizens of Canada have free Universal Healthcare. Chrysler figures to save 1400 to 2000 dollars per vehicle. He’s also helping insurance companies by moving people to purchase their own insurance. When you back the president 9 out of 10 times - you can’t be a maverick. The new slogan of reformer just doesn’t get it, because they don’t get it. It doesn’t bother me to vote for a person of a different color as long as they don’t have the same ideas as our current president. I would vote for a green woman before I would vote for a George W. Bush Clone.

Look, the bottom line should be this. Take your opinions, your beliefs, your experiences, your attitudes to the polls. Vote.
It's obvious by the previous comments posted here that nothing that any of you say is going to change the mind of the other commenters.
I'd like to see the commenters on here use their energies to make a difference. You don't like something, by God, do something to change it! Write to your congressmen and keep the neighbor and fellow commenter bashing to yourselves.
For the record, I write to my congressmen when there is something going on I don't like. Do you? It may not change the world, but I'm doing something besides posting here and at least I know that I have done something.
