Speaking of humoUr....

Welcome to The Ontario VanMan for President WebSite

[chefdennis]

Ron Pauls weak foreign policy (his intervention and use of militaty force, or the lack there of) is the one area I totally disagree with him on. That being said, I am not a single issue voter and his constitutional stance outweights his military policy.

But since am not about to vote for obama or mccain, Paul is the guy that i'll write in. I voted for bush both times as well as clinton both times, but neither of these idiots will get my vote.

I do see mccain and palin getting in and as I said, God Help this country and them.

As a woman, and Clinton supporter... the VP pick did not move me to vote for McCain at all. You just cant put a skirt on and get another womens vote! My concerns with Sarah are: she is under investigation right now in her state for improper use of power in personal matters, I listened to an interview a few months back where someone asked her about the VP job... she stated she didn't know what the job of vice president is ??? With McCains age, this is not someone I would feel comfortable with being my president. She might be really good on a special energy panel in the future ??
ECONOMY ECONOMY ECONOMY !!!!!!! We have to hit this topic hard and get America strong again !!!! Neither McCain or Sarah have it going on in that area.... maybe she could invite Dick Chaney up for a good wolf hunt weekend.... LMAO !!!!

[arkjarhead]

She is a whole lot easier on the eyes than Hillary. I think we can all agree on that.

[layoutshooter]

She has more excutive experiace than Obama/McCain and Biden put together. She has more experiance in the role of Commander and Chief than Obama/McCain and Biden. That shows how weak both tickets are in the areas that are the job description of President under the constitution. None on the so called "main issues" that Obama/Biden and to a slightly lesser extent, McCain/Pawlin, are running on are the job of president. Please explain to me, with only facts, not emotion, what experinance Obama has with the military or forgien affairs? Whatever backround I read I can find none. How is he ready to step in on day one? He has never run a budget, a large work force or worked in any job in any way shape or form that would put his life or the lives of others at risk. I don't know how good or bad Pawlin is. I know she has kicked out both Democrates and Republicans in her state to try to clean up the corruption. The people there seem to like her. She helped to "kill" the "Bridge to Nowhere", which was a Republican earmark. She has a son in Iraq, so does or did McCain. I don't now if Biden has any relatives in the military or not. Please explain how her lack of experiance is worse than the others? At least McCain understands the military. He was there. More than I can say about the rest of them. Layoutshooter

And what executive experinance did Hillary have? She claimed, at one time and then denied it later, that she used to read classified documents to help Bill with ideas. That by the way is a felony. Of course she was give Sandy Berger (think that was who was stuffing classfied documents down his pants) another job in security Layoutshooter

As i said, i won;'t be voting foe mccain, but his lack of economic experience is not an issue. He WILL put someone in charge of economic policy just as obama or clinton or bush or any other president has done. You certainly don't think any president make all decisions on his own do you?

As for palins economic experience, she is handling the budget of alaska , along with advisors. and as has been stated, she has more practical experence then all 3 of the others.

I would be careful with what you wish for. This would be fatal for the Obama campaign, believe it or not. All the Repubs have to do is remind the American people of a few little known facts.

1. Congress has more power than the President.
2. Our present economy started taking its nose dive when the Dems took over congress.
3. Our Democratic congress has a worse approval rating than George W.
4. Back during the "Glory Days" when Clinton was in office and the economy was good...the Repubs were in charge of congress.

What I am concern is the hidden agenda here.

McCain is clear, he has reached across the isle and at times disagreed with Bush on a lot of issues. He has insulted the American people by saying no one does the jobs that these ‘immigrants’ do and offered anyone a job picking lettuce for $50 an hour. I remind myself as I am driving along spending a month on the road eating cr*p food, sweating in the humid heat and dealing with about $4 an hour that I shouldn’t think that picking lettuce at $15 or $17 an hour, having a union watch over me with all these migrant laws is worst.

Obama, well he is friends with Bill Aires, someone who is by all accounts a domestic terrorist and should have received the same thing that McVeigh got but he walked free and became a millionaire just like Obama. He is someone who said he and his little gang, the weather underground, just didn’t kill enough, meaning innocent people and many among us will vilify others for their beliefs but ignore this simple fact that Obama supports terrorist. He is also friends with a number of people who are indicted, or in jail including one guy who gave him a great deal on some piece of property. The other thing is his rhetoric is along the same lines as a Marxist, a throwback to simpler times when people were gullible…. But now we have a rock star candidate who fools everyone.

Biden, on the other hand has more baggage than McCain and Obama, he is in all accounts a racist for his little sound bits about Indians and other people. He has been wrong about Iraq, he has been wrong about the economy and he has been wrong about well a great number of things. He has been a senator since ’72, Nixon was in office, he has never held a real job, he went to private school and he never had a business. He, like Obama never had to worry about real life issues like Both Palin and McCain.

Palin is being investigated but if you read why and what went on in the press, this is far less of a concern than what Obama has done with Aires. I don’t see a real hidden agenda, I think she will have a tough time not with the dems/Biden/Obama but with a lot of repubs who think like democrats. I also feel that she may be what the party needs but if she can’t gain any ground as a VP choice within the party, she and a lot of other people need to leave the party because it is dead.

Biden has been in office that long? I thought Obama wanted to change Washington? I thought I heard Obama putting McCain down for being in Washington all those years while things were a mess? And they call McCain's campaign "the double talk express". LOL

[layoutshooter]

The only way to get "change" in Washington is NOT to vote in Obama. He is a Socialist/Marxist. The country has been moving to the left for years. The only way to change is to get a "true" conservitive, never been one in my lifetime. A move back to a free market, capitolism, and do away with a much of the socialist programs that we possibly can. THAT would be change. McCain is only SLIGHTLY better than Obama. Obama would accelerate the move to nationalised health, a complete government take over of 20-30% of the entire economy. His next step would be to nationalise all the utilites, and control (raise) the prices to help pay for health care. Then the steel and auto industries. Then raise the gas tax, quickly, to pay for the health care. I was paying over $4 a gallon in England in 1976, national health care. They are paying over $8 now. Norway is at $10.85 last time I heard. National health there. The goal of ALL socialists is to control 100% of the economy and then they have all the power they need. Layoutshooter

The Palin investigation.. in a nutshell, she admitted it, but thinks she followed procedure.


Her brother in law, a state trooper.. abused her sister, and tazed his stepson for punishment.

She felt he should be fired for tazing his step son, her sister's kid.... when they wouldn't fire him, she fired the person in authority and replaced them.

Do you blame her? Proper? Probably not... but understandable.

[Tennesseahawk]

Dreamer... they can spin it any way they want. To me, it's a non-issue. She did what was right, if in fact that's the whole story.

My jury is still out on her. I like the pick, but not sure if it outweighs my "McCain disdain". Romney would've been a lock.

A few things I wonder about his pick... I didn't know Alaska was a major swing state. If McCain is only running for one term, how is she a strong candidate to take over in four years? To me, she's only a phantom VP. If she doesn't agree with McCain on a lot of issues, he'll hide her in the closet; or, she'll RAH-RAH with him, even if she has a different opinion. Doesn't really tell us who she is, does it?

In the end, Palin being the pick will probably get me to suck it up one more time and vote (R); even tho there's no (R) running.

Why are the choices for Pres always Hardcore Liberal vs Slightly Conservative? How do they always get what they want, while we have to accept middle of the road?

[Broompilot]

Here is exactly what is wrong with Democrats: They say they want a change? Change to what? What Exactly does OBama say he can change other than giving 1% of the NGP as a Tax to Foreign Countries on top of what were already doing.

Even if we were not doing anything, why are we being FORCED to give to other Countries. I will donate MY $ as I see fit not as Governments do. But Laws are being passed to cripple us more and more.

So if we want a change, this is it. A strong Lady in as VP, Young, successfull at most things she has attempted to accomplish? I am not 100% sold yet, but I am leaning that way and looking for any Reason to Disscredit Obama. And as for the VP debate lets see if the Dem can actaully be a True Gentlemen and Debate a LADY. Nancy F, I do not think she is as this lady has actually Done Work in her Lifetime.

[pelicn]

I like McCain's choice, the thing that irritates me is that they describe her as a "hockey mom". Good grief! When was the last time you heard a man described as a "soccer dad" or some such BS. This woman seems to be at the top of her game, please describe her as such.
