Closely watch how the candidates run their campaigns. Then ask yourself, who runs their campaign with integrity...
I must be crazy, but to me, how the candidate runs their campaign, is a window into how they would run our country. If they use scare tactics, then they will use those same tactics to manipulate public opinion. If they use integrity, then they will have integrity in the White House. Then after I watch and listen, the choice is clear. Lets look at some examples...
One of many examples of the integrity of Obama...
When Sarah Palin's teenage daughter came up pregnant, Obama's response was one of integrity. He said that the candidates family is off limits. Now who besides me, just KNOWS that if Obama had a teenage daughter that was pregnant all hell would break loose.
One example of the lack of integrity of McCain...
Obama is so squeeky clean, all the opposing candidate can do, is scrutinize anyone that Obama comes into contact with. Rev. Jeremiah Wright. A man who served our country. In 1963 joined the Marine Corps. Two years later served in the Navy, and entered the corpsman school at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center. Where he was trained to be a cardiopulmonary technician, and was so dangerous,(sarcasm:) that he was assigned as part of the medical team charged with care of President Lyndon B. Johnson. Before leaving his position in 1967, he received a letter of thanks from the White House physician Vice Admiral Burkley on behalf of the President. Because this man has some opinions, that are not what we would call "mainstream". Let's be honest how many people have not had moments where they have questioned our government, or their motives? Anyway my point is the only thing they can "dig" up about Obama, is his pastor didn't agree with the government on a few issues. I thought we had freedom of speech in this country, much less the freedom to disagree with our government. If McCain thinks its wrong to disagree with our government and to voice those opinions, then he's not the President for me. To be patriotic is to question your government, other wise they have nothing to answer to, and become a dictatorship.
Just some food for thought, that is while it is still legal.

Prisoner of war/President of the United States.
Has anyone considered Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, when it comes to John McCain? First, I would like to say, I respect his record as a war veteran, and all that he has endured as a prisoner of war. On the flip side, however, that same record of service has a potentially traumatic effect on the stability of his long term mental health, that should be taken into consideration when choosing the leader for the free world. Varying degrees of PTSD can occur among different types of soldiers. A follow up study was completed by Patricia B. Sutker of the New Orleans Veterans Admisnistration Medical Center, that revealed "intense, prolonged stress may cause long-lasting psychiatric disorders in almost anyone." In her study, she evaluated the current mental status of 22 pows and 22 combat veterans of the Korean war to see which group was more susceptible to PTSD. The pows spent an average of 28 months in captivity, while the combat veterans spent an average of 14 months on the front lines. The results revealed that prisoners of war are at a much greater risk of developing PTSD than combat veterans. JOHN MCCAIN WAS A POW FOR OVER 6 YEARS. How likely is it he suffers form Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? Here are some of the symptoms of PTSD. Paranoid reactions, difficulty concentrating, hyper vigilance, which is a feeling of being anxious or on edge all of the time, dissociation, thoughts of suicide, and OCCUPATIONAL INCAPACIATION. Dept. of defense psychiatrist Dr. (Lt. Col.) Elspeht Cameron Rithche says that "if you have colleagues with you, you do alot better than if you are isolated." By his own account in his book Faith of my Fathers, he was isolated and attempted suicide. Now I don't know about anyone else, but personally, I don't want the President of the United States to have a paranoid reaction with his finger on the button, and send us into yet another senseless war.
