I have done my research on the candidates, which is why my decision to vote for Obama came so late in the year.

Sure, he doesn’t have any POW experience, but he has sponsored more than 800 bills in the Senate.

You can do your own research instead of listening to the media, particularly this crappy video that McCain released attacking Obama–http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2008/09/mccain_hits_oba_7.html

Well, it turns out that Raines, leading Fannie, who shouldn’t be throwing stones from his glass house anyhow, released a statement that he never once advised Obama on economics.

THis is total crap. I expect a good argument from you, and so far you are falling shy of that.

McCain is actually the one with ties to Fannie/Freddy. Not shocking since his campaign actually has about 150 lobbyists in it. Which would only represent a continued corporate buyout of American politics.

Now this is shocking to me–I would think if McCain was going to shift gears 3/4 of the way through his Presidential race and steal Obama’s tagline about change that he could at least back it up. But he can’t.

People like to tout out this one line that they wrongly believe carries so much weight–OOOOO-Obama doesn’t have experience. Crap. Total crap.

He has a pretty holistic resume as far as I’m concerned, and his character qualities are a pretty good litmus to forecast the drive he will have as President. Think someone who can actually intuit the American public because they weren’t raised with silver spoon in mouth and ass–someone who didn’t grow up separate from the masses they will govern.

But aside from all that hokey speculation, in his brief time as a junior senator, he has authored quite a lot of legislation.

His international tour proved he does has strong public approval over there. Hmmm, that’s needed after 8 years of pissing on international relationships. But the mere fact that he recognized the strategy of going overseas to include them in his campaigning proves he is smart. Have you really listened to McCain before.
Jeezus Rich, if you were sitting at Lil Dizzies having a beer with the guy, you’d probably want to smack him.

Here is a link to his legislation:

Here is a NY Times graph:

Don’t tell me I don’t do my homework just because I disagree with you.

It's funny that you're supporting someone with absolutely no experience, empty promises and his top advisers are the very SAME people that put Fanny and Freddy in the position they are in right now! Please do your homework on the candidates and don't listen to their speeches! -Rich I’m sorry to see you bringing politics into this… it’s SO off topic!
