It seems as if Mr. McCain is trapped in a place much like Mr. Bush. They want everyone to relive their most hurtful tragedies, regrets and misfortunes over and over again... They can not let go of the past. Their inability to find forgiveness has taken over their better angels... So sad.
God bless their souls. Lord bless the troops~
Tomorrow will be a better you and a better me... Turning the page and marching into the future O/B 08.
Speaking as someone currently deployed to Afghanistan Cindy McCain's rhetoric does not hold up when compared to Senator McCain's record. I am one of those AF people re-deployed to cover a gap in an Army unit. Senator Obama is the best choice and I have put my money where my hopes are. When it was first posted I personally emailed out the Brandon Friedman article (the Vet Voice version, sorry HuffPo) on Mr. McCain's voting record to everyone out here who did not believe me when I explained his voting history and lack of support for the troops.
Obama/Biden 08
This a great article having served and seeing my fellow Marines ups and downs with deployments and family issues my heart goes out to these families one and all. From top to bottom including spouses and children they give so much and what we give back to them is a insult and a disgrace.
God bless the military families. I pray for you and I honor you greatly you are my heroes
Obama went to Walter Reed Hospital and saw the conditions there. He discovered that the hospital was making these patients pay for their food. He put a quick end to that. What has Mccain done, except elect the worst VP candidate in history.
Vote Obama/Biden Military FAMILIES AND SOLDIERS. HE will do the right thing for veterans and military personnel and their families.
I'm a 54 year old female for voting for Obama; but wanted to mention that my dad was in the Navy. He was on many tours of duty on many carriers as he was a jet mechanic. At some point in teens, I realized that I really didn't know my dad. Due to the fact that my mother didn't drive, we were shipped to Illinois or Oklahoma to stay with my grandparents. I went to first grade in Alameda, then Illinois, then Oklahoma all in the same school year. It's hard being the new kid in class. But I must say, that when we finally landed in one spot where I could grow up; living on the base and having great friends, I still keep in touch with those friends and we all have memories of our father's being gone and that we were there for each other. Cindy McCaina and John McCain, with all of their wealth are out of touch concering the military families and McCain voting against or not showing up for the vote on military bills. Please join me military families and say ENOUGH!!!! Bring the troops home to their families, Bush, Cheney and McCain got their OIL...it's time to stop the spending in Iraq and give that money to the Military familes who are the lowest paid employees in the United States. VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN. vVote against the war mongers and those making millions on a war we should have never been in.
