McCain-Palin Surging in the Polls

Submitted by Linda Whichard, Sep 10, 2008 18:14

I think both parties have good qualities, this focus on mudslinging is getting old. Now is the time to outline what you are going to do for America to turn things around. I think that Obama has many good ideas, but right now they are too idealistic. We are fighting with radicals who want nothing more than to see us all dead, Rep. Dem. Ind. and the apathetic. We can't trust their words, we have already felt their hatred. The radical Islamics want to once again rule the world with Islam. They are killing in the name of their God, that is why I am a Christian. We aren't asked to kill for our God, only love and pray and try not to judge. But,we must be prepared for the worst. For me, McCain has shown his willingness to die for our freedom. That is huge. He wants to try and cut some of the waste of the government. They are only men and can only do so much, but let's not shred them in the process. In the future, I would like to see both of them tell me what they see themselves doing to make it better. Not what human flaws they have, because we all have them. May our God let the best man win.
