This country is going to go to sh#t if Obama wins.


The change is that you are no longer going to have change in your purse.

I'm sorry, but this confuses me. Are you suggesting that Obama is somehow responsible for the banking bailout? Even though Bush and McCain both supported it as well?

Have you read Obama's plans? He is not supporting national healthcare at all. The comment when he said "redistribution" of wealth, was taken out of context, and the Republicans took it and ran with it. Obama's clarification hasn't been mentioned, as it wouldn't have helped McCain. He was explaining how

>>But it goes to show you that the vast majority of the states in this country do indeed vote republican.<<

The majority of the states are big pieces of land, where the majority of the people DON'T live.

>>The northeast and California pay the highest taxes and vote democratic every year. I have never understood that.<<

California also has extremely high gas prices. I lived in the NE most my life. The jobs pay more and....maybe, just maybe, not everyone in these areas think that Republican run government is the best way to go.

>>He may very well have his chance. But he isn't a President that unites. His record is very clear. This nation will remain divided, very very divided.<<

C'mon, just give it a chance...there really is no other choice right now.

Thanks for that post. I wrote a similar version which lost it's way to this board and ended up out in cyberspace somewhere, but you said it much more succinctly!

I would add that I see higher taxes going to pay the off-budget $600 billion war bill and the $830 billion bailout. We're all citizens, our elected leaders spent the money and now we've got to pay for it, that's just the way it works. We can't increase spending and keep cutting taxes forever -- at some point we have to pay our bills.

Exactly...but if Obama wins, there will be a LOT of conservatives discretely snickering behind their backs when, like Clinton, Obama admits that "we" can't afford the "tax cuts" he promised and his "free health care for everyone" evaporates before their eyes. Then we'll also chortle as we hear their bleats when family and loved ones start losing their jobs and whining because prices for everything have gone up. And then the terrible "I told you so" when our enemies test Barry...probably at the expense of American lives. Go Obama.
