Why America is Great in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

Voting today was another reminder of how great America is. For all our disagreements, we CAN disagree. For all our fears, we are a country founding on the idea and hope of Freedom and Democracy.

Let's just take a moment to share in appreciation for the country we love.

Well, in Pennsylvania during the Dem primaries there was a guy outside the polling place yelling "Save the Land, join the Klan!". So if McCain wins PA, I think it's possible the tipping point was racism. However, we won't ever really be able to tell and that's a far cry from saying every vote for McCain is a racist one.

Talking about deserving a job seems silly to me. Either one is qualified or not. I don't think either candidate is that great, but I'll be voting for Obama. McCain could easily have had my vote if he had kept himself to being the 2000 presidential candidate. Now he has nothing left but attack ads and poor planning.I also find his obsession with staying in Iraq questionable at best - perhaps we should have left after we found no WMDs.
