McCain was not my first choice in the primary but Obama, a man child who has spent his life in Universities and alliance to Marxism, I did not want to see as president.
Living in a large city and one with the largest concentration of Military in the U.S. also sitting around 18 miles north from the largest and busiest border crossing in the world, you have a clue what is going on.
We have two parties, you work in the Republican party to keep as many conservatives up front and elected to office.
Between the leftwing MSM and the Liberal Public schools and Univs., Liberals are flooding the electorial system.
