Focusing on the issues
28
Wed, 10-15-2008 - 11:16am
The main issues this election season are: 1. The economy, 2. The economy, and 3. The economy.
Also, affordable health care, more jobs that pay a decent wage, bolstering social security.
First and foremost, we need to get ourselves out of Iraq. That $10 billion per month could be much better spent in this country on any number of things.
THE ISSUES ARE WHAT MATTER!
Obama/Biden have addressed the issues.
McCain/Palin prefer to try to trash Obama/Biden. Why? Because they have no answers to the problems we face.
Voters need to stay focused on the issues and not to be be distracted by the mean-spirited, name-calling from the McCain/Palin campaign.

Obama talks out of both sides of his mouth about Iraq. He complains about the money we spend over there, but then turns around and says that he is going to take the troops that he brings out of Iraq and send them over to Afghanistan. How does he think that is going to save any money? Is the war in Afghanistan going to be free?

Speaking of the economy, if we add a Democrat president with a big spending corrupt Democrat congress the economy will collapse.

That's what Hoover thought too, which deepened our economy into a great depression. It took a world war to pull us out of that one!

Maybe Obama is rich because he has been "lucky" but that is not true for most successful small businesses. In order for most small business owners to become successful they literally have to work "their butts off" as this man said. Punishing success with backfire on him and will destroy our economy.

Also, as far as I know there is no capital gains tax on small business. Did he just offer something that we already have?
