I honestly considered voting for McCain after Clinton did not get the nomination. I thought that McCain was a man of substance and better than Bush, but I also thought the Aflac duck or the caveman from Geico was better than Bush. This election has gotten so ridiculous and one sided. McCain has turned into something completely different than before and Palin is a strong woman, with family and with an executive job, which describes just about half of the women population of America. Fox news states that they are fair and balance, but I think that if you poll the Fox news staff, I bet you that over 95% has voted republican for the last four presidential election. Not to say that the MSNBC would not have the same results if you polled them, but at least they don't claim to be fair and balance. Fox scrapes the bottom of the trashcans to find anything to smear the democrats. FOX news would lead you to believe that if anything negative was said, then it was said by the Obama camp and Sarah Palin is the example of Supreme Being and her family is picture perfect. Her politics are picture perfect. You should adapt the beliefs of Sarah Palin, look and act like Sarah Palin and you are surely guaranteed a place in heaven. The republicans would lead you to believe that there isn't a questionable preacher or real-estate relation is his/her past. The democrats talk about change, when there are things that should not be changed, but in fact they should be implemented. You have the media pointing out that the media has negative influence over this race and the media should stop it. So is the media telling the media to act properly? That makes no sense. The Republican Party sits back and waits for any word that comes out of the democrat’s mouth and they make any issue they can. The democrats sit back and allow the republicans to do that, which does not show a lot of toughness. This is called smear campaigning. This does not answer none of the issues that plagues America. The republicans would lead you to believe that Palin is more qualified then its presidential nominee and secretly they wished that she were the front-runner. The democrats should have picked Clinton period and they need to come up with plans that will aid ALL Americans and not just the middle class. Do your homework people!!! More people have moved from the middle class to the poor class and the numbers are rising daily. American's are one step from losing their jobs, losing their homes, losing decent healthcare, losing their families and losing their minds. 

Candidates are making it a national crime if a candidate changes his/her mind on an issue. Isn't that called simply changing your mind? I would rather change my mind and get it right, then not to change my mind and get it wrong. Therefore, the term flip-flop is stupid. 

The smear ads and the double standards have to stop. Sadly, this behavior is coming more from the side of the republicans. The republicans are even willing to backstab George Bush, in an effort to get ahead. That is a shame. Will McCain sell America to Iraq, or better yet will he sell his soul to the devil? This nonsense with the smear campaign does not answer America's problems.
