McCain's camp employed someone from Freddie Mac:

A lobbyist firm owned by Rick Davis, Senator McCain's campaign manager, was paid $15,000 a month through August of this year by Freddie Mac. The McCain campaign states Mr. Davis did not get the money. The details of Mr. Davis's firm, along with another he formed are in the articles below.

His wife profited from the war as well. She won't release her tax returns.

McCain claims to be Pro-life but tends to miss voting on this issue quite often.

McCain opposes abortion yet missed voting on these measures pertaining to abortions:

02/26/2008 Prohibiting the Funds in S 1200 from Being Used for Abortions
S Amdt 3896 No Vote Amendment Adopted - Senate
(52 - 42)

09/06/2007 Prohibiting U.S. Assistance for Groups that Support Coercive Abortion
S Amdt 2707 No Vote Amendment Adopted - Senate

10/21/1999 Roe v. Wade Amendment
S 1692 No Vote Amendment passed - Senate
(51 - 47)
(48 - 45)

Because Obama is much more tied into Fanny may and Freddie Mac than McCain is.



Because McCain is not as Liberal as Obama.



Because McCain is not a Socialist.



Because Obama will kill the one part of our economy that is strong and that employs 84% of Americans- Small Business.



Because Obama sat in "Church" with Rev. Wright spewing his hate for 20 years, and he even baptized his kids and married obama and His Wife.



And because Obama's wife is only proud to be an American when her hubby is going to be the dictator.



Oh, and because I don't want the USA to be the USSA

I'm 34 and I don't know why? My mom told me to vote for McCain and not McSame, McCan't, or McBush. I am confused! Sorry I got to go back to my 2nd grade class now. Bye

Why would I vote for McCain? Simple, and my answer may not reflect how you feel, but that is why people vote. I just believe his policies and views are what is best for the country, if you believe Obama's views are better, then cast your vote for him! It is wonderful living in a country where we are even allowed to have views!

Can a good Christian or Catholic vote, in good conscience, for a candidate who supports abortion?



If you are one of the would be aborted babies who has no self-defense ability when you're gonna be killed, how do you feel?



And how could you defense yourself?



Isn't it very...very sad and very...very painful that we are killed and there is nothing we could do to defense ourselves?



Email all friends! Avoid killing fields in the U.S!



Sarah Palin is a good example of a leader who is totally against abortion.

If its about economy, anyone who goes to the office will have pressure on economy and has to make ways to survive. The dangerous thing before us is the future killing of the babies in the U.S!

1. McCain has over 30 yrs of proven experience, character, leadership, personal ethics, clear vision on American needs, proven knowledge of foreign affairs, lower taxes, proven judgment,Graduated from the United States Naval Academy,US congressman for 26 years,ranking Member of the Armed Services Committee,Chairman of the powerful Senate Commerce Committee,Member of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs,has voted with his party only 63% of the time showing he is willing to put the country ahead of political parties. John McCain a REAL PATRIOT has 17 Medals, including the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Distinguished Flying Cross and 4 Commendations and 2 Citations,to earn those commendations,McCain stayed in the POW camp, not for future political leverage, but because he put the good of all before his own well being.That alone is proof of a great leader!! What do you have an Obama bumper sticker?



2.Obama the Junior Senator. He has only been a Senator for 18 months.But with all the recesses, four day weekends, campaigning and absences, Obama has only spent about 6 weeks of workdays on the Senate floor as one of the most extreme liberal junior Senators,voted with his party 97% of the time according to an independent study (the highest percentage of any senator). Most of his votes, about 80% when he was not absent, have been "present" or "abstain".



He also chairs a committee on Afghanistan that has never met because the chairman has never called a meeting. As a trial lawyer he only tried 14 cases in court - and minor ones at that.



As a "community organizer" his major cause was getting the asbestos out of a housing project. After 2 years of trying, the asbestos was still there when he left and is still there even now that he is a Senator and presumably has some pull to get things done.



That's it. Obama's entire real world work resume. 145 days experience in the Senate with nothing to show for it, only 3 bills passed. Zero military experience, Quick trip to Middle East, Never physically worked a hard day in his life……Barack Obama barely qualifies to work in a McDonalds. We wont even mention his devotion to extremist, radical and racist religious views for which he was ingrained and worshipped for the past twenty years.Two years as a lawyer and only 14 minor trials. And two years as a "community organizer" with nothing accomplished.



It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out which one to chose does it?

Obama is one of the top benefactors of the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac deal...do you really want to bring up this issue?



I'd rather have McCain who will at the very least keep the status quo on the abortion issue, then risk making it worse with Obama. Obama believes in partial birth abortion...the sickest form of abortion there is...no thanks
