    Show our solidarity as Americans

    There are less than two months until the election, an election that will
decide the next President of the United States. The person elected will be
the president of all Americans, not just the Democrats or the Republicans.

    To show our solidarity as Americans, let's all get together and show each
other our support for the candidate of our choice. It's time that we all
come together, Democrats and Republicans alike.


    If you support the policies and character of John McCain, please drive
with your headlights on during the day.


    If you support Obama, please drive with your headlights off at night.

    Thank you.

    But you would rather have someone who claims to have converted from muslim to christian? Someone who doesnt put his hand over his heart while the pledge of allegiance or national anthem is on? Id take the "Good Ole Boy" any day over that.

    Just my opinion.
    Got to agree with this one! I will admit Id rather see Ron Paul but that isn't going to happen. I try not to be prejudice and I'm all for change, I just think Obama isn't the best choice, nor is McCain for that matter.

    Whomever wins will fail on the promises to the people, they always do. The President has less control than people realize the President is essentially a Face for congress. I think Senators should have to go thru elections more often and should expire the term of there eligibility that would get rid of the Good Ole Boys.

    The term of a Senator is six years. Members of the House of Representatives are elected every two years. There is no limit the number of terms a Senator or Representative may serve.

    Tale Of The Tape

    I did find this interesting though.

    Some of Obama's Accomplishments

    Frankly its time to do away with Republican or Democrat, a Nation divided is weak.

    So I agree with: If you support Obama, please drive with your headlights off at night.

    Thanks, Rox, nice to see at least one person read the post and realized it was a joke, and didn't go into political opinion overdrive.
