" Take a look at the trailer park trash at McCain's town hall meetings, JP. Those Neanderthals who can barely speak proper English are the ones who draw flies. McCain looks mortified as he takes the microphone from them and educates them on Obama... "no ma'am, he's not an Arab..."

McCain must be thinking: where are the people who supported me in 2000? You know, those people stood upright and didn't drag their knuckles on the ground? You know, the ones who thought somewhat intelligently? "

" Having Obama as President frightens me, the things I have read about him and his wife, the stand they take on the American Flag, the Pledge, the feelings she has towards Christians - it all adds up to much concern. Unfortunately, I think he will win and our country will inevitably suffer, but I have to wonder if this occurance might spark a much needed Christian revival in our nation. I just wonder... and pray for all of us Americans. "

" I am a white college educated medical professional female who just retired, and am a registered Republican. I have evaluated all the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates. I have decided after extensive research I can not support McCain- Palin. This November 4th election will be first time I have voted for a Democrat. I will not justify my decision as I realize many of you are supporting McCain - Palin. I have followed and researched Sarah's legislative investigation, I am quite alarmed, and this is not acceptable. "

" It's refreshing to see that there are some people in Wasilla that retain some common sense and intellegence. Palin may have been a decent govenor (although the more that is uncovered about her makes one wonder otherwise), she may know Alaska, but she is clearly clueless about the rest of the United States, let alone the entire world. Every interview (which has coincidently only been three) validifies this more and more, and every time she opens her mouth, more people realize that she is an empty shell. "

Yes, I do have a job, go to college and have two kids and manage to be interested in Politics. You may be a Palin fan but this is far from a Palin country my friend. "

" It floors me how much fear and media driven opinon drown out facts in this state, and country. I look at McCain and see a wealthy man with a vested interest in the well being of the corporations that weigh so heavily on every day working people. Palin is simply a political opportunist with no moral or ethical strength, relying on Religious Certainty in it's place. Obama, at least demonstrates hard work, a positive attitude, and a real desire to promote principles of democracy and freedom in this country. "

While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.

God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home. "

Or do I vote for the old maverick war hero guy with real guts? Who is now and always has been a proud American. McCain/Palin may not be perfect, but they are right on the issues that matter most to me. Like they say, North(and west) to the Future. "

" Maybe you shouldn't be driving on the sidewalk then.

I have seen so many hateful, angry comments by McCain/Palin (or is it Palin/McCain?) supporters here, but not so many by the Obama supporters. It just goes to show the kind of "good Christians" that support what passes for the Republican candidates. Likewise, there were a lot of middle fingers on display by the drivers that passed by last Friday. If this is an indication of the level of intelligence and maturity of McPain supporters, you deserve each other. "

Obama won 75% of the vote in the Alaska presidential primary Super Tues. Feb 5th, 2008. Thousands attended record-breaking caucuses that day. As for me, I sat in Wasilla High School Gym with my jaw dropped to the floor. As a multiethnic of African American-Native American-Anglo American ancestry I had to rethink sterotypes I held of my community. Way to go my fellow Obama-Biden supporters.

And just think how great your retirement would be right now if McCain and Bush would have been able to privatize your retirement accounts.

Can anyone explain who is taking care of Trig while both of his parents are off on the campaign trail. And why her seven year old is being carted along on the campaign trail. Perhaps a publicity stunt "

We in Illinois are intimately familiar with Obama's voting record (the lack thereof). We have no idea what he really stands for. He votes present on all controversial issues.

He didn't even beat an opponent to get where he is. He used Chicago-style Slash and Burn politics. He had his opponent removed from the ballot.

" Barack Hussein Obama is the most rabidly anti gun presidential candidate in American history.For political purposes he claims to support the Second Amendment(kinda sorta)but his record from the Illinois Legislature and U.S. Senate say differently.Beware of a wolf in sheep's clothing.You may get eaten.

" That is alot of hate coming out of such a 'quaint' little town. No wonder Ms. Sarah has to have Jesus in her pocket and a gun in her hand. Oh, I forgot the quaint little town is also the meth capitol of Alaska, that would account for some fried brains.

I am glad 60 people had the nerve to get on the street and act American, y'all ARE American,like it or not. "

" I was stopped at the light at Crusey and Parks, and saw about 50-60 of them supporting Obama, at the time there were only about 12 McCain-Palin supporters on the side by McDonalds. I had some some McCain-Palin and Vets for McCain signs, so I pulled in to park in the dirt lot across from the laundry. By the time I walked up to the intersection a block away, it was over. Where'd everyone go ? "

" Our Founding Fathers were incredible people. They had the foresight to make freedom of speech a cornerstone in the temple of the US Constitution. These fellow Americans gathered peacefully and utilized their rights as citizens to express their political point of view. We all owe the founding fathers and all who have sacrificed for the sake of this and other freedoms, a blood-debt of gratitude.
May all Americans, especially Alaskans, honor the service that so few have rendered to the benefit of so many by keeping the rhetoric civil and decent. Freedom of speech is sacred ground. "

" Keep talking, there is precious little time left before election day, and I think we are in for a huge surprise. Cheryl, I'm Catholic but the Bush "Christian" way of government is bankrupting us. Plus, all the garbage of the McCain campaign that has been dumped on our doorstep is wearing thin. Why do we need their people in Alaska telling our legislators and local government what to do? Why isn't Palin working with the investigation that she welcomed? Branchflower is a professional and nonpartisan. For the naysayers, I live in Wasilla and am a 45 year resident. "

" "Vets for Obama" makes sense to me! Maybe vets trust him because he knows LAW ,the constitution, history, international relationships and leaders and he will make sound judgements on whether or not to put our military into harms way.
Bush's personal vendetta with Iraq and his desire for oil money and control were his only reasons for bombing Iraq. Iraq had absolutely NOTHING to do with 911.
Generally Obama will use his brains and diplomacy to run this country and our relationships with other countries rather than guns/brawn. He will use force only when necessary. "

" Oh, I wish I could have been there for that rally!! Yes, I am "from away"...way far away in Maine. But, Palin is running on a national ticket now and the last I knew...Alaska was one of our 50 states.
A McCain/Palin win would put women back in the early 19th century and drag our entire nation into more despair under the leadership of more republican liars. "

" Their candidate Barrack Husein Obama is anti oil development. You can bet that all of the protester far left kooks and their families received a permanent fund dividend(oil money) and also a energy rebate check,( oil money).$3269 apiece. If you support the oil and gas industry in Alaska, you can not be a supporter of Barrack Husein Obama. And that doesn't even consider the fact that he is a Marxist. In the end it won't matter, because Alaska is a red Republican state all the time , every time. Go McCain,Palin,Stevens, and Young! "
