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.

Let's see...
"1) JFK was a Catholic."- does this fact automatically makes one a conservative?
"2) He cut taxes, increased military spending, fought communism, supported the death penalty."-um,

Gazer, when you look at Kennedy you have a politician who was:
Strong on defense - perfectly willing to commit US troops for US interests
Supported the death penalty
Cut taxes for the highest earners (reducing the top marginal rate by 20%, and by 40% for "earned" income)
A strong friend of Israel
Supported civil rights
Supported labor unions
(Abortion wasn't an issue then...)
What other currently active Democratic politician fits that profile better than Lieberman?
((He is a Muslim/Marxist bent on bringing America down to the level of a third world country!))
You mean the way that Bush43 is doing? And potential Bush44, I mean John McCain will continue to do? Status quo is not good for America. Barack will be the best change for America!
