SO, WHO DO YOU THINK WOULD SCREW UP THE COUNTRY THE WORST....OBAMA, CLINTON, OR McCAIN???.......

Mccain

Tough choice

Obama. He combines the worst parts of the other two.

Obama

McCain

McCain

I read the question wrong. For some reason I thought it said who wouldn't screw up the country the worst.

So I deleted my answer and am now giving the corret answer fo me.

Obama

I was wondering about your first answer, Chris!

I'm going with McCain on this one.

Its been a long week Rick. LOL

Obama

good q

*puts on flame proof suit*
Obama. . . he squawks endlessly about change. .. CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE!! But what are this man's plans for this change he is babbling about?
Many of his supporters idolize him as a demigod . . . people who blindly follow a man with no plan will lead us all to destruction.

McCain.

We know because of Bush. Same thing will continue. Can't get worse.

Obama

Obama.

He will want to put more "free giveaway" programs into effect. He is inexperienced, has no plan other than "change", and is WAY too liberal. His immigration policy is against what 75% of Americans want, and he will push for "amnesty" which will encourage even more illegal aliens to flood into the country.
His vote on giving social security to illegal aliens means he will push that too. Kiss yours goodbye.

I don't know how any of them could screw it up any worse than Bush already has.

McCain is a follower and I'm afraid he will follow in Bush's footsteps. I would've supported him a few years back when he ran but no longer. So, I'm going with McCain.

Obama seems to be thje most reasonable, and well-round of the three. It will do well for him in many ways, as he is open, and very intelligent. I do see that Obama could be more easily blind-sided, though. Due precisely, to his high level of reasonableness.

People who are that reasonable, and open, don't always realize just how petty, and unreasonable others can be. He is a quick study, though, as well. He seems to be able to adapt and adjust more quickly, so he could rebound, and counter with something, an enemy would not expect.

The damage done, could come, as a result of his not seeing it coming, so to speak, due to his openess.

Clinton, is very savvy in the political world, and could do the political game really well. Which would be fine if the game only involved herself, and associates, but it involves all of us, as well, and it's not a game, to us.

Right now, she seems closer to what McCain is, than what Obama is. Not in views, perhaps, but in technique, and style.
I voted for Hillary in the primaries, but since then, she appears to not listen very well. She may have a lot of good ideas, and connections, but her failure to not listen, and plow full steam ahead, would concern me.

I can see her making the gaff: Going to a Middle Eastern country for talks, and showing up donning one of those scarves over her head, as a gesture to show her tolerance and willingness to understand their ways. (I barf whenever I see any American, reporter, or a dignitary actually curtsy to the queen of England.JEESH! WE are not her subjects. We should not bow.)

McCain. He dies not listen either. SDome times he will come out and say, he's finally heard, and understands, and then completely flips his stance, with a not very convincing acting job of being sincere. He says and does whatever sounds good to whatever group he's in front of at the time.

I get the impression of the nutty captain played by Humphrey Bogart, in that old movie, testifying on the stand, rolling those metal balls through his fingers.
I think he always wanyed to be a military commander, like his father and grandfather, and really wants to out do them by becoming the Cammander and Chief of the armed forces.
I think, if Bush doesn't beat him to it, he would spread the war to Iran, and Syria.
He also reminds me of Marie Antoinette, and the "Then let them eat cake", mentality, when it comes to the economy, and the middle-lower income people.

This is a hard one for me. I have issues with each of them and wish I could feel good about supporting a candidate. Things are bad, but Alan says things can't get worse under McCain. I think they can get worse under both Obama and Hilary, so that's one reason I'll be voting for McCain. I see him as the lesser of the three evils. I also won't vote for Obama or Hilary because the Democrats snubbed Michigan for the primary and didn't even set foot in the state until there was talk about seating our delegates. Michigan is in dire straits, but I don't think they care about us at all. At least the Republicans know where Michigan is and what our problems are (thanks to our Democratic governor).

McCain will screw it up if we vote him in - is everyone blind?

Why is Hillary even mentioned - is she still in the race? I've not watched TV in a while and am taking a rest from listening to that metallic harsh voice. Salud.

The question isn't "Will McCain screw it up?", Mariana. The question is "Who will screw it up the MOST?"

Voting for Obama - why? Do your own research - I did. Salud.

Oh sorry Rick - who will screw it up the most.
McCain
McCain
McCain

Just wanted clarification. I'm guessing they all would screw it up. Just to varying levels.

And in different areas.

Hillary has vowed to stay in the race all the way to the convention, where if Democrats have any sense left at all, will nominate her as their candidate.

Is Ron Paul still running? Maybe we can have him lol

Ron Paul with Dennis Kucinnich as veep...

I can also see McCain being secretive, Hillary being misleading so I guess it's a toss up between Clinton and McCain.

I guess, when all is said, I'd have to go with McCain screwing things up the most.
War. More war, and more war.

When all is said and done I hope whichever one is elected does a great job! We could use a good upswing about now!

Well, Rick - it's a pretty screwed up world - I don't think any of the candidates can just wave a magic wand and things will be once again rosey and delightful...it will take a while - this planet has a heart, mind, body and spirit and we collectively can cause lots of turmoil inside of her. Probably all three could do something to screw it up - everyday someone screws up but I do think that McCain appears a bit mixed up - and that's my opinion - don't hit me with rotten Gather tomatoes...I just don't think he'd make a good leader. I do think Obama would do a good job because he's intelligent and will be working with advisors who are also intelligent and on the same level as he. Salud.

I think they all have a good chance at it. I still don't think the world is ready for an emotional woman to be in charge of our country...Mickey Mouse could do a better job. And what is it with the bed head hairdo...geez...all that money and she can't fix her hair?

I still think it will be McCain. He is very hot tempered. We do not need that in the person who can push the red button. (Nuclear war.)

neither one will be able to do much unless congress is behind them, 100%. I am surprised that no one has figured it out. Everyone always blames the President when things go wrong and praise him when things go right, but without the support of Congress nothing gets done. Or at least not quickly.

And 4 years from now, nothing much will have changed, even if the newly elected President begins working on ending the war, fixing gas prices, fixing the housing market, developing new sources of power, dismantling the Patriot Act, and disbanding Homeland Security.

Things take time, to go bad and to get fixed. That is the basic truth.

McCain would screw up a wet dream.
Clinton is a nightmare.

Obama does have a plan and it looks good to me.

Can the world be more screwed up then it is already?

Put the names in a hat and pick one. The real answer is, "For things to change, first WE have to change."

Karen and Sharon - omg yall are making me pee all over my leopard thong-cut poise pads - I'm dying laughing over here. (oops sorry folks). Ok well, I hope I don't lose friends over this election. I love all of you - I voice my honest opinion and I seriously do think Obama would screw up less than the rest! Salud.

Glad I entertained you, sorry about the pad.

I honestly don't know. Right now, my impression is that John McCain would continue our downhill slide towards certain demise.

Each of the three holds to greater government involvement in the lives of individuals. The only thing that can "screw up" reaching that goal would be individuals that are willing to forego the government "safety net" and risk self reliance. Otherwise, any of the three will do just fine taking us to the stated goal - only at slightly different speeds.

The words "screw things up" are subjective. If you think growing the central government is a good thing then you have a candidate who will float your boat. If you think less government is good then you are up the creek without a paddle. It seems this election cycle has everyone looking at the government to "fix" everything. I say, careful what you ask for. There are no candidates that will provide any real solutions, that is, unless you like being dependent on the government to get your from cradle to grave. And remember, whatever they "fix" will be paid for with a rubber check. UGGH!!

If I had to look into the bottom of my cup and read the leaves, I would have to say, McCain. All the research I have done (and I have done way more than any other election I have participated in, thus far) shows me that he is simply "Bush-Lite".

Rex, very good - short AND accurate! Everyone else, you must stipulate WHY you chose a particular candidate.

Excuse me, Berf; didn't mean to take over.

Nothing gets done that Congress doesn't have the votes to pass, so it's a two step process, every piece of legislation gets watered down, and doesn't work. Then, the foreign policy suffers from the lack of respect.

Spiraling on down for four years...

Obama would stay that failed course.

Mariana, you won't loose this friend over this election, but some people on here have disconnected from me because I have voiced I do not like Obama. If you disconnect over which candidate someone favors, it says a lot about your personality I think ;)
To each their own for whatever reason

Without a doubt, the liar Clinton.

Let's just say we're screwed...whoever wins.

" Without a doubt, the liar Clinton."
They are ALL Liars. . . every single politician (including the media darling obama) is a liar.

Heather,
I agree. I have a strange feeling that the DNC and GOP administer lie detector tests to anyone seeking a run for office, and if they pass, no endorsement.

I liked McCain once upon a time. Even if I did not agree with him, I respected him. He has become more of a Bush supporter than I can tolerate or accept. His Iraq strategy does not sit well with me. I have never like Hillary, she is whiney and she has a husband who was dishonest while in office. she supported him in his dishonesty and that does not sit well with me. I plan to vote for Obama.

What makes you think McCain won't be screwing it up any worse?

McCain will take us into Iran. He is more of a War Mongar than Bush.
He is Bush on steroids. Be afraid. Very afraid.

Oh and Bush has shown us that he doesn't need Congress for anything! He has it his way!

McCain - he'd be better than Shrub but not enough. War escalation and spreading war to other mideast countries scares the -- out of me.

Hard to say, but I disagree with McCain being Bush Lite. I have some confidence that if McCain got us into another war he would manage it a lot better than Bush would, but I think that is also true of Clinton and Obama.

Obama has an initial edge on inspiring the enthusiasm to get the done, but since getting things done is not a cake walk, I suspect the enthusiasm of his supporters will wear thin when change does not happen as rapidly as they seem to think it will happen.

Clinton has an edge on getting a handle on the economy and deficit without trusting entirely on the advice supposed experts who have more experience at developing theories than they have putting them into practice.

This economy being the thing that most directly affects us my bet in on Obama or McCain to screw things up the most.

Obama. I don't think he can "talk" his way out of anything.

Obama/Osama08

O......because he is a raciest

Obama... he's a pretender!

Gosh! Hilary scares the living daylights out of me! Another thing that scares me is that she doesn't seem to be scaring other people that much.
I cannot imagine how anybody can look in her eyes and not be terrified. Obama would be a fool to take her as a running mate (as I heard somebody suggest once). She's liable to really have him killed.
Okay, maybe I've just got a bad case of the heebie-jeebies and Hillary is not the Anti-Christ. But I am fully persuaded that she is all about her own ends and those ends are not the good of the country.

Obama will reexpand the Welfare State to mega proportions, the same Welfare State reversed a bit by Bill Clinton, thanks to the Republicans in the House and Senate. Not only that, mega redistribution of wealth will destroy the ability for business to grow and compete efficiently in this country, therefore rendering the United States to being able to do business no better than many other countries on Earth. This is what I predict. The clear answer is: OBAMA. Hi all! (Steve Watson- the Blog Moderator)
