I served in the US Air Force for 22 years, where I swore to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. As far as I'm concerned, that oath did not expire when I left the service. Because of this, I find both of the media-anointed candidates unacceptable.

The highly touted "differences" between O'Cain and McBama are purely cosmetic. Both agree that the federal government needs to run your life. Both are enemies of freedom and of the Constitution.

Couldn't agree more. I'm a Federalist with a touch of Libertarian thrown in for good measure. I belive the federal governments mandate is to govern interstate commerce, national infrastructure, international trade and national security. Everything else is the mandate of self governing States.

1) My biggest problem with Obama is that he refused to wear the American flag on his lapel, along with refusing to place his hand on heart during the National Anthem. That has changed -- of course -- as of only a few short months ago due to "campaign political pressure". In my opinion, that is the root of something laying secretly deep and dark, making him supremely unqualified to be president. Because of that alone, McCain has earned my vote just by default.

2) Not voting for McCain because it is "just four more years of Bush" is being ridiculously simple-minded. The democratic-party keeps saying it over and over so that eventually people will think it is true. It is downright sad how FEW people in this country have the ability to perform any critical thinking on their own. Disliking McCain is perfectly fine with me, but have ... oh, I don't know ... maybe ... a reason??

I mean, c'mon ... this pic doesn't bother you?? I honestly can't believe people want a president that does this.

Okay, I am sooooo done on his topic. Really. It is not worth the energy and frustration that it generates. Soooooo ... uhhhh ... how short is that trem arm on that David Gilmour signature model???

No it doesn't bother me. A lapel pin doesn't make a person patriotic. Symbol's don't define a persons love of country, actions do. There's plenty of people calling themselves patriots who have all the bells and whistles of patriotism, yet they are not patriotic at all. Remember, Neo Nazi's think they are true patriots.

+1 from me.

A patriot puts the ideals of his country above all else. That, I believe, would be "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" and "liberty and justice for all". Let's put our energy into debating who pins that to their chest.

Well people should just look at the ties that Obama has to William Ayers and the group Weather underground. They were involed in a half dozen bombing in the 1960's one of which was at the Pentagon and at the Capital. Ayers held Obama's first fund raising to get Obama in office. They worked together during the 1990's and Ayers was one of his main supporters. Now Obama said he does not aggree with what Ayers did doing the 60's and is trying to distance himself. Ayers himself says they did not do enough so you no were he is coming from. This was writen about two hours ago.
The ad must be hurting the Democrats' presumptuous nominee because Obama has launched an ad to try and distance himself from Bill Ayers.

The McCain campaign is happy to have a discussion about Obama's relationship with Ayers. McCain campaign spokesman Brian Rogers responded to the new Obama ad with the following statement:

"The fact that Barack Obama chose to launch his political career at the home of an unrepentant terrorist raises more questions about Senator Obama's judgment than any TV ad ever could. And the fact that he's launching his own Convention by defending his long association with a man who says he didn't bomb enough U.S. targets tells us more about Barack Obama than any of tonight's speeches will."
Obama is making a huge mistake with this ad. The ad will cause the media to focus on the long relationship between Obama and Ayers and dilute if not drown out the message trying to be conveyed by the Democrats' National Convention.

Okay, that is an intelligent retort. One that I agree with, actually. But -- in my opinion -- that "lapel pin" (or lack thereof) in THIS case is a clear sign of a
severe anti-American sentiment. And something seems soooo wrong about having a president that does not love this country...

Anyway, I said previously I was done on this subject, huh?? Yeah, come to think of it .... where is that thread on changing the widths of
graphtech nuts for 1989 MIJ small-scale squires???
