How McCain Supports our Vets!

Country First - You betcha!!

Meet the Adviser Stabbing at McCain’s Self-destruct Button

And this week? Here’s how Holtz-Eakin described McCain’s new mortgage buy-up plan on Wednesday: “We would in fact be taking the negative equity position and putting it on the taxpayers’ books.” Tasty!

Our best days are yet to be. President Obama will not only restore our good name and credibility with the rest of the world, he will also restore a sense of moral values, decency, and compassion for every American, not just the few.

Equally important, this brilliant man and the very talented, educated team he will assemble will pave the way for a strong economy, opportunities for more Americans, a cleaner, safer world, and put education back on the front burner.

Our best days are yet to be - thanks to President Obama!!

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A legislative committee investigating Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has found she unlawfully abused her authority in firing the state’s public safety commissioner.

The investigative report concludes that a family grudge wasn’t the sole reason for firing Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan but says it likely was a contributing factor.

My biggest concern is that Obama will be elected and will enable these crooked democrats - Franks, Dodd, Schummer and others who stood by while this financial hijacking was happening, saying nothing and reaping the benefits, will continue to remain in congressional power. I haven’t heard any democrat’s response to this, don’t they care what these guys did? I guess this does not affect them! Our best days are ahead only if McCain is elected.

I believe that if Obama is elected our best days may not be ahead. A culture of anger at the past and a desire for change, apparently of any kind, would seem to point to a future of far different values than those on which the U.S. was founded. I don’t see the “three car garage” as being much more than an external sign of a minor problem facing most nations with a sound economy. After all, those three cars have boosted our economy, along with all the other materialistic “things” many people crave. Still I believe that most Americans have a strong appreciation of the truly “good” things in life, like family, faith, and hard work…all of which contribute to the greatness of our nation. I hope that I’m correct, but I do know that many people who own businesses and have worked hard to get into the economic strata Obama intends to tax more, have stopped buying and investing in their businesses out of fear of the future with possibly more socialism than capitalism. In fact, my family and friends have virtually stopped making major purchases and certainly, though we would qualify for most loans, do not intend to borrow money or spend our savings or earnings. We will wait to see if the U.S. elects Obama and his plans to redistribute wealth from those who have worked to earn it to those who have not been as successful. Most Americans truly wish to help those who need help and to provide education and healthcare for those who cannot do so for themselves…even wealthy Americans. But we do not wish to subsidize those who are unwilling to work and contribute. I am an educator & I am proud of America for providing educational opportunities to students who can not afford college. I have seen so many brilliant and dedicated students from families who could not send them to college without assistance. I’m very happy for my tax dollars to help them. But I am also aware of students who enroll again and again to get grants and rarely attend classes. I believe that Americans that Obama would call wealthy can only do so much for others; we can’t do it all! Parents need to provide homes and stable environments, and students must dedicate their time and energies to learning rather than chasing after cultural influences that promote other values. Believe me; I’m speaking of all the mindless reality shows and other entertainments that many groups enjoy rather than studying and working hard.

So I and many of my friends and family members will hold onto our money - neither investing it or spending it - until and unless we elect John McCain as president. I believe that his election will boost the stock market and the economy as it will provide some stability for those people who have worked for their money and would normally be spending and investing. Obama’s election promises “change,” but I do not know what kind it will be, as I am sure that our taxes, even if raised significantly, will not be able to fulfill the promises that he and many of the Democrats have made. I am an Independent voter, but I can not support a candidate of little accomplishment and wildly extravagant programs to spend my tax money. Especially not over a man who is a bona fide American hero, and who has given so much to our country.

I predict that America is not ready for Obama’s vision, and I believe our economic crisis is a reflection of that, combined with the bad judgment and possible criminal activity of many corporate executives, lobbyists, and politicians. The Democrats might be hoping for a win due to the economy; but I think they may find that, if they win, many Americans will abandon ship and take their nest eggs elsewhere or sit on them until America elects a president that doesn’t offer socialism as change. McCain has been misconstrued too often. I’m sure that he intended us to understand that the capitalist system and American working people of various economic strata are still strong and viable. At least that’s what I heard. God bless America…all of us…and guide us through this to our best days.

Even as the Roman Empire was sliding into abyss occassionally an Emperor would come along and pick things up for a little while but the slide was inevitable. Obama believes in that government is the solution to the huamn condition. Be careful when you take Ceasars coin don’t complain when you have to dance to Ceasar’s tune. McCain is simply Obama-lite. Offering more or less the same but maybe not as much. Our nation is fat, lazy and increasingly stupid. Go to a college library on a Thursday-Sunday and you better speak Chinese because they are the only ones in the place. How does my local NEA dominated school combat that? This year we dumbed down the grading scale so more kids can have better grades never mind that they didn’t learn anything. The Pittsburgh public schools announced that the lowest grade you can ever get is a 50%. Wouldn’t want to hurt someone’s feelings. News flash. NOBODY needs six TV’s in their house all with DVD player and 500 channels of nothing to watch. NOBODY needs a cell phone. Nobody needs a DVD player in their car. NOBODY needs a GPS system. Learn how to read a map. Take the several hundred dollars I just saved you and pay down your debt. Open a savings account. Stop watching Oprah having an orgasm evrytime she says Obama and do something productive. That is how we made it through the great depression, WWII etc…

Right on Ray Henry!!

The line item veto is definitely one big answer. The last “President” on this continent to have a line item veto was Jeff Davis. Naturally, it will never become law because:

1. It would require legislation to be written correctly and only on the topic being argued.
2. It would actually require Congress to work for a living.
3. Most importantly, it would take away the pork and blame factor both parties have so long relied on.

Spending has become a Congressional “right”. I wish I could just spend more and extend my debt indefinitely. Both parties are seriously to blame. I don’t see how McCain or Obama, both being part of the problem, can even hope to accomplish anything.

Don’t waste your vote on Republicrats.

If Obama gets in its over! If McCain wins we have a chance! Obama is a RADICAL and every one will find out if he gets in. Sad for our great Country, Sad for all Americans that love and have faught for our Nation!!! I never thought we would have to face a Muslien with such radical associations so close to the White House! Obama is the enemy with in, sounds like a movie or a bad dream!!! So do any of you agree???????????

Nobody knows the future but if Americans will elect Obama (a Marxist deep in his heart) as their President then they will get off the straight and narrow and their future will be very black. You can bet on it!

THE OBAMA MELTDOWN
The stock market is valued on benefit net of taxes. The benefit is dividends and anticipated future value. If I own a equity investment with $100 in capital gains and I sell it now I only have $15 in Federal taxes due. After Obama the tax rate on capital gains is 37.5% if I sell then I will own $37.50.

I would be ahead $22.50 if I sell now. The percentage differential in value remains constant until there are no capital gains left.

Let us continue to celebrate the stupidity of rewarding bad behavior as we welcome America to the world of socialism. Work really hard and the government will take your productivity and give to their friends.

Want to raise some capital? Start a business? Hire people? The government is no longer your business partner, it is your owner. Socialism is slavery to the State.

The USA is Finished because the USA leaders forgot the poor people who WORK. The USA is Finished because You Folks Like Socialism. The USA is Finished because you rich and fake rich used up all your credit with no WORK to back it up. I am Happy the USA is Finished. My Prayers do come true. All Glory to God, Mathew

Mathew, if you have been praying to GOD for the USA to be destoryed then, Please if you live in the USA, leave and go to one of the other countries that like to belittle the USA. I pray to the Lord God almighty Jesus Christ that you twist your ankle so we will know who you are when you walk by us.

Thanks Margo for showing us how smart some of our citizens are! Next time your grocery shopping think about those agri-states that help supply America with food to eat.

I would argue the GOP is outdated. Look at the electoral map. The only states that are voting GOP is the southern or agri states. The confederates. The bigots of our land. The christian religous right.

The way things look and are going, when the market and dollar crashes, the rest of the world with us, you can be counting on a one-world government and the ‘euro’ will be the next world money.

When will this stop being about democrats vs republicans, liberals vs conservatives, race, gender, rich, poor, etc? Who cares anymore about who caused this mess or who voted one way or the other. What we need now are some honest, frank, to the point answers and plans. Americans need to be honest with each other, quit playing the “blame game” and work on some solutions.

Fear of Senator Obama’s tax and spend policies is probably the biggest reason the market continues to fall. If elected, Obama will tax and spend this country into a full-blown depression. His taxes will ruin small business and increase unemployment. Wake up America. We need tax cuts and incentives for businesses to continue operating.

The problem with America as I see it is, we bought all of the talk about being the worlds police and it was our job to push Demonacy on the rest of the world and in doing that we spent trillions of dollars to forceing demonacy down other countries throats. We then elected congressperson and senators and presidents who did not have the best interest of the American people in their minds. They allowed Greed to run the stock market and they made decisions based on what would make money for a select few. Republicans and Demoncrates both are fully responsibile for where we are at now. But do’t forget that we as citizens are also the blame with out spending and buying more then we were capable of paying. it is time for all of us to start thing about the country and what we can do to fix the problem.

Dennis,

When you talk, do Billo’s lips move?

Markm,

30 Million since 1973 and, still, here you are. We need better aim.

As I read through some of the comments posted here I can’t help but think that we are all fiddling as Rome burns.

We are facing catastophe and poeple are busy
- pointing fingers
- calling names
- waiting for a Heavenly host to suddenly appear and make it all better
- getting side tracked by who supports abortion or who doesn’t
- focusing on whether this candidate or that has good “moral character”
- discussing who associates with who
- wondering whether the media is in the tank for anyone
- debating if a photograph is sexist
- blah, blah, blah

WAKE UP.

We need leaders with real vision and REAL PLANS. Not rhetoric and inspiring speeches. Not tendencies to do what is politically expedient.

Neither of these candidates seem to fit the bill, and we’re all going to suffer for it.

Who is going to give us the GREAT PLAN, the NEW New Deal? Who is going to lead us down the road on our return to greatness? Who is going to bring us back to basics? Who is going to wake us up to the harsh realities?

I don’t see it happening. So keep fiddling. Keeping ranting about that socialist so and so. Keep chanting the talking points. Keep pointing fingers. All of that will REALLY be helpful, I’m sure.

By the way….we haven’t seen the worst of it yet.

Just wait until the Dollar crashes…

Then we won’t even be able to purchase anything from overseas. Including our much needed energy sources….or cheap Chinese children’s toys. No one will want our currency because it won’t have any real value to back it up.

And these knee-jerk reactions to financial crises are going to fuel a greater crisis - the devaluation of the dollar. As the government throws billions and trillions of dollars out the window to soothe the market (which aint being soothed, by the way) it will inflate the US money supply with even bigger budget deficits…sooner or later there’s going to be a crash…

You can’t just keep “inventing” money or print it like there’s no tommorrow. As world confidence in the US economy and government falters, so too will the dollar’s favorability as the world trading currency.

Start stocking up on canned goods and non-perishables!

There is one big barrier to any hope of future greatness-the current apotheosis of Barak etc,etc. Obama is a puppet in an empty suit with his strings pulled by the foreign and domestic enemies of the American constitution. We will likely have to “water the tree of liberty” before American recover and persue greatness

Obama has promised that the first thing he would do as president is sign his Freedom of Choice Act which overturns every pro-life law in all 50 states.
Obama supports abortions paid for at taxpayer expense.

–4,000 abortions EVERY DAY in the US alone
–1.3 million abortions EVERY YR in the US alone
–50 million abortions since 1973 in the US alone

Better days ahead? Not for the unborn if Obama is elected.

If you vote for Obama, you’ll be an accomplice to this evil.

America’s economic meltdown was inevitable.

Over the course of the past century, our nation accumulated vast wealth as the result of American ingenuity and productivity. We built up a great treasure.

But in the past 25 years or so, we have depleted that treasure by sending it out of the country. By spending wildly on things we didn’t need or really couldn’t afford. No treasure is endless.

There has been an unprecedented transfer of wealth from America to the rest of the world:
- Money spent to purchase oil from middle eastern and other nations.
- trade deficits because America no longer wishes to manufacture (no one wants to work in a “dirty” job) any of the products we consume - and other countries are willing to do it for less money.
- conversion of our economy to a Service Producer (and the value of services are always arbitrary - without any intrinsic value) which even that is now being “outsourced”.
- borrowing money via government securities from foreign governments (the interest is money sent out of the country never to return)
- free trade agreements which allow American investment capital and to leave the US for other nations to develop manufacturing and distribution infrastructure - thus undermining US manufacturing competetiveness in the world market.
- Importing cheap labor (via a blind eye to illegal immigration) which remits a large part of the dollars earned to it’s home country. (because Americans don’t want to work at “menial” jobs).
- US Government aid given to the UN and many, many other nations - which produces almost no benfit at all to the country.

We’ve been giving it all away, without producing anything of real value, and now everyone is shocked that there is so little left.

Most of this resulted from the “its all about me” attitude. Everyone wants cheap products, or easy profits…no menial tasks…no hard work…no “dirty, polluting” manufacturing…a cheap gardener, maid, nanny…but this unrestrained self-interest has led to a vast money drain. And there aint no way to get it back now…at least not quickly or easily.

Sorry folks, but welcome to the 21st century.

Mr. Richard Miller,

For 100 years America has been the World’s Bank, our goal
was to lead them down a path towards Capitalism.

Europe, was more than willing to accept the Cash, now 1/2
of Europe and the E.U. has chosen Socialised Government.

The Countries around the World who have accepted not only
taxpayer dollars but also the gift’s Americans’ give willingly
in the times of Hunger, Disaster Relief, Medical Care, and
on and on from their own after tax pocket’s can’t and won’t last.

It’s time for the World to stop kicking us while we are currently
down. Maybe they should hear the reminder,

If America fails, the Planet fails! And they might not like it when we
stand back up, remember World, we are American’s, we do not Fail.

It Is Not An Option!

It’s either Step Up World or Shut the Hell up World!

It seems to me that most of the comments here point away from both the current Republician and Democratic Parties and what they stand for. If I’m correct, I applaude everyone here because they are right. I suggest looking to other political parties for a chance to really change our government for the better. To that end, I will NOT be giving my precious one vote to either McCain or Obama, but to a third party candidate that can truly change our government. I invite all to do the same.

There is too much greed from all sides, example, big corporations, that lobby our government, in a sense, the government we vote for, as in senators, congress, speaker of house, etc. Have voted the will of businesses and not to the interests of we the common people. We the common people vote them into office and then we slap our hands clean, as to say there you are do your job. This is a break down on every level, in government and public. Yes it takes more effort and thought to keep an eye on the government but if we don’t look at our economy. Maybe one party has allowed this to crash straight into the ground so they can be up for reelection? In the end we the common folks get holding the bag. I agree with the person who said, at this point the President is a non issue, in a sense that he can’t enact any bill or legislation without congress. So as we currently have a powerful Democrat congress including the Speak of house, this is were the changes by we the common people should look. We can survive this we have in the past but we must rid the corruption from the top to the bottom. It’s cleaning house time, and we the common folks need to consider if all those offices paid by the public are necessary jobs at this moment. Again, it takes more effort from us the common people not to sleep, but to be vigilant our the people in office and force them to do their jobs correctly or we need to throw them out!

Hello,
I am a person that always likes to look at America the same way that the late “GREAT” President Ronald Reagan did, and that is a Shining Light on top of a hill. Now less look at what has happened since he passed away. We have had some of the most troubling times in the history of this great nation, and that is coming from a man that is always thinking positive about America, and right now we are in the trouble we are in because of all the FOOLISH people that are ruining this country. NOTICE I DID NOT SAY RUNNING THIS COUNTRY, but I said what I did for a reason, and that reason is that all these things are just a sign of “BIGGER”, and to get right to the point some more serious things to come. There will be at some time in the very near future a serious melt-down, and I mean globally of the kind that modern day men have never heard of. Now for the reasons that I have put forth here in my comments understand that all this has been foretold about thousands of yrs. ago, and now it is coming to pass, and as far as I know modern-day men, and women are the ones that are now going to see the FINAL CHAPTER WRITTEN ABOUT THIS EARTH. WE ARE IN SUCH A GREAT “BIG” HURRY TO PROCLAIM ALL THESE THINGS ABOUT MOTHER EARTH, AND ALL THESE OTHER THINGS ABOUT THE EARTH, BUT WE HAVE FAILED TO REALIZE THAT THIS EARTH, AND ALL THE THINGS IN IT BELONG TO GOD ALMIGHTY, AND HE IS GETTING FED UP WITH MANKIND PLAIN AND SIMPLE. What does it take to see that all the things written about in the Old Testament of the Holy Word of God-(THE BIBLE)- are coming to pass. Please if you do not believe me then start reading the Old Testament Prophets, and see. I am not mistaken here. We as a planet are in, and are fast approaching the last days of the very existence of the earth as we know it. The old saying it will get worst before it gets better, DOES NOT APPLY HERE. THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT TODAY WILL BE VASTLY DIFFERENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE, AND IT DOES NOT MATTER WHO THE NEXT PRESIDENT IS, OR WHAT HE TRIES TO DO TO HELP. GET READY FOR A BUMPY RIDE FOLKS, BUT I BRING TO YOU SOME VERY GOOD NEWS, AND THAT IS THAT JESUS CHRIST HAS EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL, AND LET ME PROMISE YOU THAT HIS FATHER IN HEAVEN WILL NOT LET HIS CHILDREN SUFFER ANY LOSS, AND HE WILL BE THERE FOR YOU IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN. SO TO SUM IT UP WE ARE IN FOR A LONG MORE HARSHER TIME AHEAD, BUT IF YOU ARE A CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH GOD YOU WILL SEE NOT A HAIR ON YOUR HEAD HARMED. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK I LOVE HEARING FROM PEOPLE OF LIKE MIND. THE ONLY OTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO POST HERE IN MY COMMENTS IS PRAISE GOD ALMIGHTY THAT HE HAS EVERYTHING UNDER COMPLETE CONTROL, AND I MEAN COMPLETE. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK, MY E-MAIL ADDRESS IS bearone7777@yahoo.com

God Bless for now,
Larry D. Crumbley
bearone7777@yahoo.com

The President can not do much to really control the senate or congress as they are currently operate. In order to make change and to actually lead the government, the President needs LINE ITEM VETO. This is the only way to control “PORK”.

We need to take care of our own backyard first. Stop giving money to countries that do not like us.

I would like to see Judges enforce our existing laws. Without enforcement criminals do not care. Opps we are already there.

We need to enforce the immigration laws. OPPs Judges again!

We need to bite the bullet and clean up social security.

We need to clean up the welfare programs and make it into workfare. Stop giving everything away, people really do not appreciate it, they just want more.

A Vote for OBAMA?

Obama said “We have a great Nation”.
Obama said “We need to change our Nation”.
Will a vote for Obama give our Nation the change ?
or
Will a vote for Obama change our Nation into an Obamanation!

I think we are a very creative nation because of democracy and as a democratic nation we will allow creativity to come out of this chaos. “This too will pass.” We are a nation of “dreamers” and our dreams will still can become real for both Republicans and Democrats and Independents. I think the present political system will evolve into a better one. In a democratic society, I do not think it is a good idea to adhere to one ideology. Capitalism is good because of free enterprise and we are melting pot of ideas. I did not think a small amount of socialist ideology is bad but no ideology is good when it is radical and abusive, including capitalism. It is like abusing anything….too much of a good thing is not good……moderation is the key.

We will come out of this STILL celebrating democracy and conservatism at its best. Things always get worse before they get better.

But I do not agree with Obama’s ideology and I think McCain needs to get “mad at hell.” NObama is a good speaker but that is all. His ideas are immature and too radical.

in the depression in the dirty 30’s most folks lived on farms or small communities where food and shelter were accessable. Now? America you are so screwed. Thanks Bush and Co. for tearing apart our once reasonably peaceful world and destroying our global economy. Mission accomplished.
***********************

Keith:

You need to educate yourself as your statement about Bush is dead wrong. If you really wanted to know the real cause, you would be looking at Barnie Franks, Christopher Dodd, and that bunch of Liberals who prevented any legislation to put controls on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac–IT IS ALL ON THE RECORD AND YOU HAVE NOT DONE YOUR JOB OF EDUCATING YOURSELF–you just want to follow along with all the lemmings and follow your Democrat leaders off the mountain! BUSH TRIED TO PREVENT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPEN AND WAS SHOT DOWN BY YOUR DARLING DEMCRATS IN CONGRESS!

LIVE WITH THE TRUTH AND IT WILL GIVE YOU A NEW VIEW OF REALITY AND WHAT A MARXIST CROOK YOUR OBAMA IS!

Hi.

Is this where inbred America comes for all of its ill-gotten politcal news? The reason I ask is because I too am a simple-minded inbred American, and I’m looking for others who share my ridiculous uneducated views. Have I come to the right place?

Junior Little

PS - College is for Europeans

folks,

For those of you that are too young, or just short of memeory, we have been through all this before. The mid to late seventies saw double digit inflation, 10% unemployment, and folks saying america was on it’s last gasp. Then a leader came, a rublican, named Ronald Reagan. and that all changed. Who was running the show when things were so bad? A democrat, of course. This is just another cycle. The dems will screw everything up, and the republicans will get back in office and set it right again.

in the depression in the dirty 30’s most folks lived on farms or small communities where food and shelter were accessable. Now? America you are so screwed. Thanks Bush and Co. for tearing apart our once reasonably peaceful world and destroying our global economy. Mission accomplished.

If you don’t get it, you never will!!!! Great article. Thank You

It strikes me as strange that in all this there is only one reference to Ron Paul, and none at all for the Libertarian Party, yet this is the very thing that a huge percentage of posters are asking for. Of course, it’s common knowledge that a third party candidate cannot possibly win, but it seems to me that if everyone who is voting for “the lesser of two evils” or “none of the above” or not voting at all, would just cast a vote for the Libertarian candidate - we could probably elect him by a landslide. Granted, if we give the Democrats their veto proof majority, it probably wouldn’t do much good, but it would sure set the Washington establishment on its ear - - - and give us a shot at the smaller, less intrusive government most of us want.

THE LAST OF OUR GREATEST DAYS CAME TO AN END IN 1973 WHEN U.S. FORCES LEFT VIET NAM.
THAT WAR AND ITS AFTERMATH MARKED THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR AMERICA…..

I find it interesting that America is founded on the premise “IN GOD WE TRUST” and yet GOD is uncommonly referenced during times such as these because we have been bullied by the “IN GOD WE DON’T TRUSTS” and sheepishly press along in silence rather than cry out to the LORD OF LORDS for help. Let’s come together all you Christians and pray for THE LORD OF LORDS to deliver us from the oppression of those who put us in this place and for victory over this mind bending battle we currently call an election, a recession and a possible depression for which our GOD, THE ONE TRUE GOD, STATES HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US. GET UP AND CLAIM THE VICTORY. TAKE A STAND FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE. ORGANIZE AND PRAY! PRAY LIKE YOU NEVER PRAYED BEFORE AND WATCH WHAT GOD WILL DO AND HOW QUICKLY HE WILL DO IT! WILL ANYONE COMMIT TO JOIN ME?

Well, all the campaign promises from the holy man should definitely put us on the right path……….YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whether or not our greatest Days being ahead of us depends on who is elected. If we want out country to change to being a immoral and relativist as well as perverted country, then let’s have Mr. Obama. If not, then the only alternative is Mr. McCain.

To me this is Heckle and Jeckle. I’m praying that the American people are “Mad As HELL AND AREN’T GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!” about Congress and will not allow the Demoncrats to gain an upper hand in the Senate and take away their upper hand in the House. For it is the House that determines the economy and budgets.

But I guess, the dumbing down of America is complete for people still listen to the News Media that has been proven over and over again to lie to them.

It’s about time McCain stops being polite! What’s with the politeness in this campaign. There’s a nation at stake for heavens sake!

Who’s surprised the car mfg market is down anyway? You boobs! When you were buying those gas sucking, wasting, gigantic, intimidating road weapons, you didn’t know they would ultimately turn the whole situation around for further gain and jack up the price of gas? How could you be so naive? Now, we lay all those “poor” workers off because there’s no work for them. We get rid of their high wages and benefits packages. We trash the stock prices by having a fire sale and boom. There’s new demand for small cars and new demand for workers and wages for new hires are lower and the cycle begins again. Who knew? Who ever suspected such a thing could happen? Oh ye of little wisdom. What were you thinking when you bought those stupid, gigantic, wasteful machines? Status. That’s what. And now all that advertising that sucked you in is being turned on you again to escalate your fears, anxieties and elect a President. You fall for it every time because you don’t read or remember history.

President Obama?!?! He hasn’t won yet. Shows you the thought process of these Kool-Aid drinkers. If she is right, America brace yourselves. We’re in for a rocky time!

This is a very thought provoking piece. I believe our problem lies with Congress no matter who becomes President. And Congress is our fault because we continue to re-elect these self interested windbags.

Most people have very little knowledge of what is going on in the world economy. Even the experts are puzzled as what to do. Some like to compare the proposed actions taken on by our government and the governments of Western Europe and Japan as bandages. More like a temporary fix or too little too late. The over reaction of investors only help to create a self full filling prophecy. These investors need to take a deep breath, step back and realize they are making matters much worse.
Think of the current problem as a traffic jam on the highway. This traffic jam was caused by a collision blocking the travel lanes. It’s important to help the victims (home owners, 401k’s) along with the parties that created this accident, (Wall Street, Banks, etc…).. They must be taken off the highway to allow the traffic to flow. The debris from their reck will continue to block traffic long after the casualties have been taken to the hospital. It will most likely take a long time for the tow trucks to reach the seen of the accident due to the back log of traffic. Cars will overheat, run out of gas; more collisions may accor as people loose there composure in the traffic. Traffic must be redirected around the accident until the road has been cleared. This must be done as fast as possible. This is the only way to prevent additional blockages, cars out of gas, overheating, etc… We can point the finger at who or what caused this problem after traffic flow has been restored.

The most efficient way to get things going is not to panic. Leave your investments where they were prior to this problem. This is a very patriotic thing to do in face of the currant economic situation. However it’s the right thing to do. We need our government leaders to restore faith in our system. Ask yourself, what can I do to help or prevent further damage. It’s time to put politics and greed aside and restore the faith we have in our nation.

How can Obama give tax credit to 95% of the population when 30% of the population does not currently pay any taxes?

…….well,…… I don’t want a gold plated Cadillac, and never will.

America’s best days are still ahead of us, but it’s not in the form of hugh corporations. It is in the people striving to make America better by hard work and realistic expectations. By not asking the government to take care of them, but people to solve their own problems. To hold corporations accountable for fair practices and honest products. The answer is not China for cheap products, but America for the best products. Built in America has to mean something again or let’s just throw in the towel and say the great experment failed. It’s up to the citizens to decide!

I read these comment sections and sometimes worry greatly about the state of affairs in this country. The vitriol between those who claim to be “conservative” and those “liberal” bears no resemblance to the thoughtful debate I used to enjoy between the competing parties “Democrat” and “Republican”. I count myself as one of the … “Americans who believe that their country’s greatest days involved the establishment of constitutional government, the ending of slavery, surviving the Great Depression, the defeat of fascism and Soviet Communism, and the success of racial integration and gender equality..” and consider that “my definition” of conservatism, but would just be happy if it described all “Americans”.

I thought think this is a very good think piece. I hope people will read it and THINK!

If you are foolish enough to elect Obama then not only are America’s better days behind us, America as you know it is gone, never to come back. Obama and his socialist supporters along with the liberal left will destroy this country. I am terrified for my children and grand children.

Bush - worst president in my lifetime (and I’ve seen a few). sold us out. McCain 08′.

Why is America leaning so far left? I suppose that the entire span of the Cold War era was all for nothing.

Our best days are yet to be. President Obama will not only restore our good name and credibility with the rest of the world, he will also restore a sense of moral values, decency, and compassion for every American, not just the few.

Equally important, this brilliant man and the very talented, educated team he will assemble will pave the way for a strong economy, opportunities for more Americans, a ceaner, safer world, and put education back on the front burner.

Our best days are yet to be - thanks to President Obama!!

Couple comments.

To the OP who said getting a free lunch leads to dependency (and despondency) etc. Absolutely right. Look at many of the Native American people in the US and Canada as an example. Some of the things the BIA has done seem OK on paper but have ripped rich cultures apart and led to apathy.

To the OP saying Christians are the anti-Christ: thats naive in the extreme. The left, as with other parts of society, has wormed its way into the church and colored the discussion. The Methodist church, for example, has gone way overboard in my opinion in some of their doctrine. As the discussion drifts left, people are taken for a ride and away from true Christianity. Thats why attendance at mainstream churches is way down and attendance at charismatic/evangelical churches is rising.

Last - you think its bad now? Wait and see - Israel will take Iran out when they realize McCain has lost and the world will change yet again.

America’s best days may come again, but not until people as individuals start taking responsible for what is happening. Many people blame the CEO’s and Presidents for the large amount of money paided to them, but it is the stockholders fault. They give away their proxies without finding out what is happening. The same is true about people who vote party line politics. I saw the line about renewable energy, and yes we need to develop our own energy sources, but nuclear is a much better way. Renewable energy requires huge amount of land use, further damaging our natural world. Curing cancer is happening as fast as possible now. The huge amounts of money made by pharmaceutials is pouring money into research. It is much more efficient than the government funded research. Morality, and individual responsibility are the key to a better America and world.

I think the greatest days are ahead. i’ve heard the same complaints about the government, business, the people for over 30 yrs.

This is one of those generational lessons that every generation faces. The depression, WWII, Viet Nam, Carter Years, Savings and Loan, Dot Com.

This is arguably more severe and hits closer to home to many of the others.

Look in the mirror. The government is a reflection of us. Are you in favor of the government spoon feeding you from cradle to grave, or do you want to live free. There is a price for each. You can sell your soul or own your soul.

If the government is so good, just think of your experience at the DMV, IRS, or social security office. That is how the other things will work as you hand over more and more control.

If America tips towards Socialism, as Obama is leading us, S
