Sticking to the issues
| Tue, 09-16-2008 - 7:53am |
While McCain/Palin continue their political campaign of distract and react, I would like to try to focus the attention of voters on the issues.
The economy is in deep do-do.
The political state in Iraq has made little if any progress during the time of the so-called surge. Though violence has subsided somewhat, the three sides there still are at odds and are no closer to reconciling their differences than they were before the surge. Anytime, the civic war there could heat up again. Probably after the upcoming election it will.
Health care costs continue to rise, along with the cost of everything.
We have $10-12 billion dollars to spend every month in Iraq, yet those folks have a stash of money from their oill sales. Why are they not using that money to pay for our services there?
If we can waste that money there, why can we not spend a few dollars helping the Americans who have been hurt by Hurricane Ike? Our response there seems similar to the Katrina fiasco.
These are all issues that we need to be focused on as we head into the stretch run of the presidential race.
The big question to be asked is, are you better off today than you were before George W. Bush took office? John McCain is the voice of status quo. If you like what Bush has done for our country, then vote for McCain.
On the other hand, if you want change, you must vote for Obama.

I'm not sure about the "nuts"...but yes, Obama's extreme socialist positions do strike fear in those not sucked into the adoring crowd.
*** You act like socialism, which we do NOT live in RUSSIA, so I'm sick and tired of that term being used like we have herpes.
Actually, it's being used so we don't get herpes...er...socialist policies in our country. To make people aware so they can stop it...by voting for McCain.
*** McCain/Palin are extreme capitalists then.
Sure...capitalism is great.
*** Favoring the wealthy and corporations, bailing them out.
I haven't heard about any wealthy people being bailed out, but yes, there are certain corporations which, if we let them fail, would be devastating to the country...some, like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are presided over by Democrats who killed earlier attempts by Bush to offer stricter regulations.
*** It's sickening. People are struggling, Senior Citizens on fixed incomes are struggling, yet they are constantly cutting them back. It stinks!
Aah...complain about spending and then complain because we're not spending enough.
*** Your right all of us that care about babies, toddler, children, and the eldery are scary. I, mean, with those on the other side not caring if they starve to death as long as they get to keep their money caring people would be scary.
Are you referring to the babies that the "lefties who care" want the right to kill? Or are you referring to the babies who are born alive that "Obama, who cares" wants to refuse medical care for if the attempts to kill it fail? Or are you referring to the toddlers that "Obama, who cares" wants to teach sex ed to? Just curious.
OhPulease, Here's how it is, Obama cozied up with Fanny and McCain cozied up with Freddie. I'm sure you don't believe me, but that is a fact,Jack.
No, I meant bailing out Corporations, not wealthy people. They don't need bailing out.
*** OhPulease, Here's how it is, Obama cozied up with Fanny and McCain cozied up with Freddie. I'm sure you don't believe me, but that is a fact,Jack.
I appreciate the links you've provided to prove your point. BTW, how much did Freddie donate to the McCain campaign?
*** No, I meant bailing out Corporations, not wealthy people. They don't need bailing out.
Which corporations do you think we should let fall and why?
*** Oh pulease. Would you be willing to adopt all the babies of poor mothers who won't be able to keep,
I have kids of my own, so I'm not really in the market, but if you make domestic adoption easier, then maybe Angelina Jolie and Madonna won't have to keep going to other countries to get them.
*** will you be willing to see your precious tax dollars to give these mother's welfare, food stamps?
I already do.
*** Ya know, I'm sick of this discussion.
And yet, here you are. ; )
*** Don't abort, keep the baby, but you can't expect to have conservatives support you because they want to keep all their money.
Heavens, why on earth would I want to keep the money I work for and spend it on my family when libs can take it away and give it to some underachieving waitress so she can spend it on an abortion?
McCain/Palin are extreme capitalists
How is an "exteme capitalist" different from an ordinary capitalist ?
