It’s ok the U.S. will decide it’s fate in 11 more days. We are after all back under the same type of government our fore fathers fled. The American people did not heed Jefferson’s warning in being vigilant with this Republic. History has a vicious cycle. Were almost back to the start. Hopefully we can win our freedom back!!! LMFAO

So is what Wes and others are saying is that if you are a republican, and you disagree with the way they are handling the country you should still vote republican? What happened to this being the land of the free. We have had a crappy 8 years of president Bush. Most of us aren’t willing to try with McCain. I used to listen to what he had to say, used to think he would be better for the military. Then he selected Sarah Palin as his running mate. WTF, she is in no form or fashion smart enough to run the country, point blank. That was a selfish choice to attempt to get disenfranchised Clinton voters. This is what made me turn my back to the republican party. Cheney seems as if he could be Satan’s son, Bush started the war in Iraq for absolutely no reason, then kept changing the reasons and the goal posts. Scandle after scandle with the republican party. American citizens are sick of it obviously, which is why Obama has so much support.
What the republicans can’t even realize, is in all of their pouting, and all of their negativity has shown that they are the same old people, not the ones to bring“real change” as McCain would say. America is sick of the negativity. You guys couldn’t even accept Powells decision without bring race into it. We the public are sick of that too.

Powell said one of the reasons he wants Obama to win…is that the prospect of two more conservatives on the Supreme Court is “scary”.
This man is a Republican
RINO

Whew.…thank you Phillip and Joe.…finally two voices of reason and thought.
Joe, excellent points…exactly what I was trying to get people to think about. The party has been leaving conservatives.…not the other way around. Look at the state of things now…Government intervention to an unprecedented level, Government spending that is so far out of control it is unbelievable, this administrations push for expanded Presidental powers.….

I didn’t vote in the poll as I feel it is skewed to far in either direction. While not a game changer I think Powell’s eloquent endorsement definitely helps Obama.
Watching people like Wes, here, and Novak at the WP, call Powell a RINO is really telling. It shows that the party is fracturing more and more every day. Hopefully the inevitable losses in Congress and the probably loss of the presidency will inspire the Republicans take back their part from ideologues and Neo-cons. Those who have made it a party of hate and fear, instead of ideas and values.

At this stage in the game, it means little. There aren’t any more “undecideds”. They’ve already made up their mind. The election is in like two weeks.

Wes,
Keep believing that everything is rosy…meanwhile the Republicans continue to lose elections and influence.
Sticking your head in the sand does not make a problem go away.
By the way, I am a Republican…and where does the ‘elitist’ label come from? Because I think and questions.…yes, that is dangerous thinking isn’t it.…

Obama has no military service record. He’s an attorney, community organizer, politician.
.
However, I’d say Obama would be far more open to using private military contractors in Iraq than would honorable, old, establishment war-horse, Sen. John McCain.
.
You use private forces to defeat privateer insurgents. Obama would conceivably withdraw the majority of US combat forces and replace them with PMC personnel.
.
100k a year tax free is a morale booster and a strong incentive for professional soldiers to return to Iraq.
