To me he screams fake and he cannot answer question sincerely (maybe it's the lawyer in him). I've seen him dodge all sorts of questions, from his policy of pursuing AlQaeda into Pakistan, to his choice of Church. He doesn't support the war in Iraq (which is fine with me), but it seems he would pull out disastrously. He touts that he was never for the war, but he wasn't a Senator when the decision was made. He throws the words Hope and Change in a time of economic crisis, but I feel there is no substance to those words. I've followed John McCain since his primary run in 2000 and those of you who followed that ought to know that Bush and McCain don't see eye to eye on alot of things. It frustrates me to see so many people point out that because he is Republican he is no better than Bush. McCain has a track record of pushing for changes and is not afraid to support the right decision however unpopular it may be. In recent years he has had to embrace Bush for the sake of rescuing his career from alienation within his party and it paid off as he now stands as their candidate. Now I ask you this why wasn't Bush at the RNC?

I'm not a registered Democrat, but I am supporting Obama this time around. What I'm curious about, is I constantly hear people say that Obama isn't about change and has simply towed the Democratic party line (which imo, would certainly be change from the Republican party line). He seems to be an ideal Democratic candidate in his values, and certainly not much difference between his and Hillary's stances.
And, I guess this will suck for you, but remember all the flak Obama got about his stance on following terrorists into Pakistan? And the same thing you're spouting right now? Guess you didn't check the news, but it turns out he was right, or if not right, at least vindicated - http://www.observer.com/2008/politics/obama-vindicated-again
McCain was a different man in 2000. He was a man I respected a lot back then, and I would have rather cast my vote for him than the vote I cast for Bush (which still stings. I'm going to make up for it this year though.) 2008 McCain is running the most disgusting and dishonest campaign I've ever seen from a politician.
And Bush was at the RNC on that bigass screen.... I watched him give his speech. He wasn't there physically, but his presence was certainly there and he gave a long enough speech.
