I'll bet he votes for McCAIN !

I bet he votes for McCain too. I wonder how well that mealy-mouthed Clark would have held up under those circumstances, but the better question is how well would Obama have done in those conditions... McCain is definitely the more electable of the two. We know his history... what do we really know about Obama?

Being the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces is only part of the job of a US President; but, if you were serving in our Armed Forces 24/7 365 days a year; would you rather have someone who has served in combat zones and even been a POW in charge; or, would you rather have a spoiled brat who never served a single day in his life and has only paid short token visits to some of the safest locations in combat areas in charge of you, your unit, and even your families. A man who has been there and done these things; knows how these experiences affect both our troops and their families here at home. He knows what is important to them. He knows that you do sometimes have to send in the troops; but, he also knows what those same troops are capable of and what they need in the way of support to help them complete their mission. He doesn't have to rely on the word of others, who are trying to pad their own pockets, about what the troops need and what they don't need. John McCain knows what is realistic and what is not. He does not make promises that would be disasterous to try to keep JUST because they MIGHT be popular and get him elected. IF John McCain changes his mind about how to get something done; it is because the facts he is aware of have actually changed; not, because he flew in, shook hands and talked AT a bunch of people for an hour or two, and is now talking to a different group of people. This testimony helps confirm my feelings that John McCain can do the job much better than Obama. I do feel that there are other people better qualified for the job than John McCain; BUT, THEY aren't running for the office!

I know that this will be harsh but I do not think being a POW in itself is a reason to vote for someone. But if one add this store to a long list of other reason to vote for McCain and McCain is becoming better everyday. I must say though it does sound like we are trying to find reasons to vote for McCain. Remember the William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears, I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. This could be rewriten to say: Friend, Republicans, American, lend me your ears, we have come to vote for McCain, not to praise him.

I just had the dubious priviledge of reading 2 of Obama's books. Even if I had not already decided who I was going to vote for, they certainly helped the decision along. I had already read a similar article somewhere else about Mcain's leadership abilities under duress. That is a good judge of character. Mccain just needs to communicate his plans and issues better with the public and not be so afraid to take a stand. Obama is starting to outrun him and will continue to do so if he does not stand up for himself. Shalom~Adoniah
