I would be thrilled if the right-wing nutjobs and their families left for fear of socialism.  They were the ones who told us liberal voters to get out after the 2004 election.  Once they discover the cost of work visas in other countries, they may change their minds.

to:  Janet Decapua - American Muslims are the people he is talking about in his book. Those American citizens who are muslims and are wrongly attacked here in this country. You know. This includes aoldiers serving in Iraq. Who do you think translates for us there?

Ask yourself: how many times has Mr. McCain voted against vet issues? Most veteran groups give Mr. McCain lower grades than Mr. Obama. See http://www.veteranreportcard.org/ Mr. McCain is given a grade of D; Mr. Obama is given a grade of B.

Mr. Obama is not a muslim any more than Mr McCain is.

Thanks for a considerate, civil post. Most posters are loosing it and forget we all have to live and work for the country after the election. I hope your grandson comes home safe.

I would bet that a lot of military people would not admit to wanting to vote for Obama - but will when it comes down to it.Let's get these people back home where they belong.
