@Lucid

Thanks for your comments. To be clear, I’m not criticizing McCain for the overuse of just any phrase, I’m saying that his overuse of this particular phrase, in the way he uses it strikes me as revealing of who he is. He could have used it just once and I might have had the same reaction. Plus, there are many other reasons that I have for being disenchanted with McCain, not the least of which is his shift from being a somewhat principled politician to someone who I feel would do or say anything to win the election. To me, his use of “my friends” is more of a constant reminder of that.

I do have to take exception to your statement “Most people who love Obama do so because someone on tv told them to.” I don’t think that’s a fair charge to make. I know a number of people who like Obama and will vote for him and these people have all clearly thought out their positions and come to the conclusion that Obama is the best choice for them. Saying that they support him “because someone on tv told them to”, is a bit dismissive on your part, don’t you think?

I wouldn’t assume that you support McCain because “someone told you to”, and in that spirit, I’d like to invite you to explain why you think “McCain is the better of the two candidates by far”, as you say.

And, I completely agree with you on the evil behind a socialized healthcare system or redistrubution of wealth. I think Obama’s healthcare plan is only slightly worse than McCain’s. Both plans are idiotic and pander to the public’s desire to have government fix their problems and to get something for nothing. As for their economic proposals, again neither will do what is necessary to really invigorate our economy which is to slash the size and scope of the federal government and cut taxes significantly. Both will grow government and so I think they’re both equally bad on this point.

If overuse of a phrase is the only thing people make their decison for president on, it is kinda sad. McCain and Palin are fighting an uphill battle against Obama’s charisma and financial power. The power of media is a formitable tool for winning hearts and minds, certinly in our consumer driven society. Most people who love Obama do so because someone on tv told them to. Most people dont realize the evil behind a socialized healthcare system or redistrubution of wealth. And evil it is. Telling us that he’ll give tax breaks to 95% of us is…well bribery dont you think? Is that the kind of change we need? McCain is the better of the two canidates by far, although I believe republicans could do better. But please look into McCains record further before writing him off.

I cringe when I heard McCain speak, especially when he said “my friends” He sounds deceitful…Yes,totally a used car man- “Come on buddy. I’m thinking of you!” then Palin
winks. I BARF!

Maybe most politicians are fake or this is “the way it’s been”. I however think our country is looking for something new. Most of us are tired of the old ways. The old ways are leading nowhere, really fast.

It is clear((especially with seeing Palin’s abuse of powers)) seeing how they fight in this campaign, and hearing how they speak that the McCain/Palin ticket is the same old crap.

McCain and Palin ARE the “GOOD OLE BOYS”, my friends.

LOOK AT THEIR ACTIONS, NOT THEIR WORDS!
