So please, stop telling me what "I'm" doing, because you clearly don't know anything about me.

I did not mean you personally. Its an all encompassing you.

Disagree. McCain looks old and senile at this point. I've been a fan of his for a long time. If he had won the nomination in 2000, there's a good chance he'd have gotten my vote. But not now. His stance on the war, his seemingly insane take on the economy, and his inability to understand that education and health care in this country are in shambles makes him someone I could never vote for at this point. So while you have your opinion, there are people (who aren't Democrats) out there who hold my opinion as well. And, looking at the polls, they outweigh those who feel the way you do so far.

I won't deny the old and senile. The war is now virtually a non issue. As of now its over. The surge by every measure has been a resounding success. That COULD change but as of now no one cares. Voters do not care about education that much. Most people are beginning to blame the Democrats for consistently blocking school choice. And the powerful teachers unions need to share in that blame. Voters care about the economy and gasoline, both which can be squarely blamed on Alan Greenspan. IN fact both Yahoo and MSN ran blurbs on how Greenspan hosed the economy. President Bush is getting a pass and rightly so.

Again, it's more misrepresentation by the right-wing media than anything. And I say right-wing media and mean a media that is interested in seeing this landslide be close for ratings. CNN, FoxNews and MSNBC are irrelevant in a landslide. In fact, you quoting a bunch of untrue talking points is the Republican strategy, and has been for eight years. It's sad that people buy them when they're so obviously wrong. The whole "surge has worked" and "domestic drilling will solve gas prices" are just ridiculous, untrue talking points. Remember "Iraq has WMDs, let's go to war"? How'd that one turn out again? The whole Bush Administration and it's stumbling through ruining our country is example of why nobody with any sense could support "more-of-the-same" McCain.
