I am a 60 year old, registered Republican grandmother from Sedona, AZ. It’s funny how your world view changes when you have precious grandchildren. The reason I am supporting Barack Obama is because I feel that John McCain is out of touch with Arizona and the American people. As an Arizona Republican I received a fundraising letter from the McCain campaign. I sent it back with a note that says I will donate exactly the same amount that John McCain has requested in earmarks for our state. McCain’s call to fame is that he is the only representative in Washington never to request any earmarks for his home state. What does that prove? In my estimation John McCain has been the laziest representative in Washington in the last 26 years! To me it shows that in McCain’s mind Arizona does not need any assistance from Washington. He is happy to see all the tax dollars that we send to DC go to other states. Arizona has Indian Reservations with unemployment over 60%. Wouldn’t a call center in Indian Country be better then one in INDIA? We have beautiful rural areas that would greatly benefit from an increase in tourism. McCain’s lack of concern for Arizona shows that when John and Cindy fly over our state in their private plane that they do not pay attention to the people that live outside of Scottsdale. Lets see if in November the citizens of Arizona will send him a message and not vote for him. So this educated, white, Christian, Republican grandmother will be donating, ZERO, NOTHING, NONE, NADA! To the McCain Campaign. I did donate to the Obama campaign….

Eleven post, and only trashed Obama.

I wonder how many people know that McCain draw Social Securtity probabley more than some worker get a month.

Was it McCain that said in 1999 that if elected he would do everything he could to destroy the teachers union? I kind of remember this.

McCain evidently is enjoying the same media deference given to Bush. The media rarely made demands on Bush to answer questions surrounding his scurrilous past and dropped the ball on his (scrubbed or destroyed) military records. The media's silence on McCain's refusal to release his entire naval record and Cindy's complete financial records is puzzling and implies a double-standard: one for McCain and Bush and the other for Kerry and Obama.

Uninformed voters went to the polls unknowingly elected a media creation to run the country might do so again unless reporters hold McCain to the same standard as they do Barack Obama.

Had voters known beforehand every business undertaking went bankrupt Bush probably would not be in the WH today and our economy would not be in a meltdown on the brink of recession.

How confident can we be that the next President will refrain from manufacturing intelligence to wage unnecessary war; will not suppress, censor or hide reports containing environmental, science, medical information; will not make decisions based on ideology for political gain, etc. etc. etc... Separating the wheat from the shaft is an impossible task when the media withholds pertinent information and/or frames a narrative couched in terms intentionally meant to obfuscate the facts.

While Obama receives unrelentless criticism for alleged policy changes based on a false media narrative, yet McCain's 180 degree changes on 61 separate issues concerning national security, the economy, immigration, energy, domestic and foreign policies, et al goes scott free... See here:

http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/1...

In addition to the 61 reversals, earlier this week, McCain originally agreed with Phil Gramm that Americans are whining about a recession that amounts to nothing more than a "mental" recession. Of course later he sought to distance himself from Gramm's remarks. But understand, Gramm, McCain's senior economic advisor, has been advising McCain, I believe, since the inception of his campaign. [painting Barack Obama as out of touch and elitist gives new meaning to hypocrisy and hubris].

However not all voters are in the dark. After touting a record for supporting the troops McCain found himself in an awkward situation with a Viet Nam veteran who took umbrage at McCain's audacious dishonesty. With documented evidence in hand the vet effectively disassembled McCain's entire speech. I do not know how many times McCain has purported to have done one thing when his record and other evidence clearly illustrate the opposite, however, it's well-documented that was not his first time. Voters need to know this.

The upside is ultimately the media's double standards along with McCain's unpresidential and unstatesman-like conduct, ever-changing positions, conflicting statements will become wider known thru YouTube and alternative sources of information that will suffice, at least for now, for a media in absentia.

I AM SOMEWHAT SUSPICIOUS OF YOU SO CALLED REPUBLICANS. I AM A CONSERVATIVE/REPUBLICAN & DO NOT REALLY CARE FOR EITHER CANDIDATE. HOWEVER, I DO NOT TRUST OBAMA IN ANY WAY. (GOOGLE FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS OBAMA). DAVIS IS THE FRANK MENTIONED IN ONE OF OBAMA'S BOOKS, WHO IS BARRACK'S COMMUNIST MENTOR. FURTHERMORE, BARR WAS IN HIS YOUNGER DAYS AN VIETNAM ANTI-WAR DEMOCRAT, UNTIL HIS MILITARY PARENTS THREATENED TO DISOWN HIM. OH, BY THE WAY HE NOW IS A PAID ATTORNEY FOR THE AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION (ACLU). HOPE, MY FELLOW CONSERVATIVES APPRECIATE THIS. WHO IS THE REAL BARRACK H. OBAMA; I BET IF YOU FOUND OUT YOU WOULD NOT BE TOO HAPPY WITH HIM. PLEASE, DO NOT THROW OUT THE BABY WITH THE BATH WATER.

NICE TRY; OBAMA SUPPORTERS. A BLIND MAN CAN SEE THROUGH YOU GUYS.

Great news!! I used to support his past service in Vietnam and though I disagreed with some of his issues (I've always been prochoice) I respected the man who ran against Bush in 2000 for standing up to neocons and later for being against the Bush tax cuts.

But he is just going to give us another Bush term. What has really surprised me in the last few months is that he sounds as clueless and stupid as Bush.

This country, this WORLD, cannot afford another Bush term.

I had a lot more respect for McCain when he was truly a maverick and moderate Republican — the McCain who ran against Bush in 2000. In my opinion, he sold his soul in order to win the Republican nomination, and now he's just another Bush Republican. And when I say “sold his soul”, I mean that, in order to win the support of Bush's neoconservative base, he started embracing policy positions that he previously opposed, and vice versa. Everyone criticized John Kerry for being a flip-flopper in 2004, and that's part of what cost him the election then. Obama has flip-flopped on a few issues, but McCain has turned it into an art form.
