Just finished listening to Senator McCain! He scares me! He is so Hell Bent and Ego Driven to get Osama Bin Laden that he will lead us into another war. McCain is not just too old, he is TOO ANGRY!!!
Michigan Dem. voters if you don't like Hilary vote for Ron Paul and that way you can help RP voters stick it to the other republican candidates and their friend fox news. I think these people and that news channel needs to be taught a lesson or all the news channels for that matter. Just because some candidate might not be popular doesn't mean they aren't worth voting for because they tell the truth and love the constitution. I would love to see egg thrown in their faces(especially fox news) and the polls destroyed and let them figure that one out.
