I'm Watching Barack Obama Speak to the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Didn't his address just make common sense? It's what's called the "common sense approach". They try to smear him and speak of his inexperience, but all the experience of Bush, Cheney and McCain has gotten us to the point where we are today. Just a bunch of failed military and economic policies. I know the truth hurts, but no one can deny the facts. Lloyd

Oh yeah. I am interested in a documentary that is coming out soon called I.O.U.S.A which is an independent study of how and why we are in such debt and what will happen if we and our elected officials don't wake up.

Isn't it a hoot to hear the soundbites from before the invasion about how their oil revenues would pay for the rebuilding and how our gas would be real cheap? Here we are, years later - them with a near $80 billion surplus, us with a record-breaking deficit and gas prices through the roof! Above you wrote about "facts" and "common sense"; neither of those are included in G-O-P! Annie

I really want Barack Obama to win this election. Not only do most people throughout the world disagree with the war in Iraq, the majority of American disagree with it. I hope and pray that we will be able to rejoice in a Barack Obama victory. You and all my friends here at myLot will be the first to know when I get that email or text message. Stay tuned. Lloyd

This is why I believe John McCain is out of touch with the needs of our troops and our veterans. Here are a few reasons: May 2006: McCain voted against an amendment that would provide $20 million to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for health care facilities. April 2006: McCain was one of only 13 Senators to vote against $430,000,000 for the Department of Veteran Affairs for Medical Services for outpatient care and treatment for veterans. March 2006: McCain voted against increasing Veterans medical services funding by $1.5 billion in FY 2007 to be paid for by closing corporate tax loopholes. April 2003: McCain urged other Senate members to table a vote (which never passed) to provide more than $1 billion for National Guard and Reserve equipment in Iraq related to a shortage of helmets, tents, bullet-proof inserts, and tactical vests. (I remember when some wifes of soldiers raising to get some of this equipment) So there it is. John McCain is yet another republican former military veteran who likes to talk a big game when it comes to having the support of the military. Yet, time and time again, he has gone out of his way to vote against the needs of those who are serving in our military. If he can’t even see his way to actually doing what the troops want, or what the veterans need, and he doesn’t have the support of veterans, then how can he be a credible commander in chief? Lloyd p.s. These are facts. I'll glady point you to the sources of this information.

You hardly ever hear the details as why a Senator, especially a Republican, doesn't vote for a certain bill. And, it usually has lots of pork attached - it's not truly a bill for what it is supposed to be. I found this in a statement released on July 25, 2007 to the Congressional Record by McCain: “Mr. President, today the Senate adopted, by unanimous consent, legislation that will make a significant difference in the lives of America's wounded warriors and veterans. I applaud the passage of the "Dignified Treatment of Wounded Warriors Act" and the 3.5 percent across the board pay raise for the men and women of the U. S. military." I don't find where he cares nothing for our soldiers. That says unanimous, which means every senator voted YEA.

Hello Barb. I apologize if I gave the impression that John McCain cares nothing about our soldiers. I said "he doesn't understand the trials and tribulations that our soldiers and Veterans face on a daily basis". John McCain has a office in Washington DC. Why did it take soldiers and family members to expose the terrible conditions at Walter Reed hospital? There are allegations from a former inspector at Walter Reed of widespread and dangerous problems in nearly all the buildings at the Walter Reed hospital. Burst steam pipes near electrical cables, rats, mold, and holes in floors and walls -- all of that extends far beyond the well-publicized problems at the notorious Building 18. You may have seen this story on the news. John McCain and George Bush should be held accountable for this discrace. Soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center’s Medical Hold Unit say they have been told they will wake up at 6 a.m. every morning and have their rooms ready for inspection at 7 a.m., and that they must not speak to the media. “Some soldiers believe this is a form of punishment for the trouble soldiers caused by talking to the media,” one Medical Hold Unit soldier said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. It is unusual for soldiers to have daily inspections after Basic Training. George Bush sent these soldiers to war with John McCain's blessings. They should have at least take care of them when they return from the battlefield. That is why I say that John McCain doesn't understand the trials and tribulations that our soldiers and Veterans face on a daily basis. Lloyd

Do you believe that Barack Obama may be the Antichrist because he has risen up out of no where, he mesmerizes crowds, people are gathering in huge numbers and he is likely becoming the next President of the United States? If you study the vision in Revelation 13 in connection with Daniel 7, you will see that the vision of Revelation 13 is based on that of Daniel 7, and that the beast of Revelation 13 is the beast of Daniel 7. John's beast from the sea is a combination of the leopard, bear, lion, and indescribable fourth beast of Daniel 7, whose ten horns give rise to one horn that speaks great, boastful things, and makes war with the saints and prevails! It sounds to me that George Bush is the real "antichrist". You won't get murdered by me or any Barack Obama supporters for your belief. I disagree with you, but you have your right to your opinion. Thanks for your reply. Lloyd

Bush had many followers, and was very crafty at somehow "winning" elections.
