McCain is not Bush!!

Obama is more Bush than anyone!

There is more reminiscence of Bush in Obama than anyone else. Hillary Clinton even said so.

Obama would be a disaster. He would inadvertently give credo to the Bush years the way that Bush did to Bill Clinton. Count on it.

"Gibberish" - That's rich coming from a vacuous dolt who wouldn't know a Republic from a Democracy if Lincoln himself explained it to you.

Stick to coffee at Starbucks pissing and moaning about $3/ gal gas as you sip your $50/gal coffee. At least that way, the trolls listening to you can puke on the patio and don't have to get up from their desk.

Folksy? How does anyone who is scurried away and kept in isolation for over a month , then appears at a Vice Presidential debate reading tag lines from index cards, refusing to answer important questions and rattling on about absolutely nothing and winking incessently on World television have even a drip of credibility on anything? A person who has been granted dominion over a once important political party such as Palin has been granted dominion, is the elitest, simply by virture of her Fascist credentials and all of it's religious and social trappings.

Good luck with that. The silver lining that this economic meltdown has had is that when the chips are down -- and they are -- people do want someone smarter than they are to fix the problem. The more Wall Street drags down Main Street with it, the more the tide is going to turn toward Obama, and reigniting the culture war will only strengthen the tsunami that seems to be building speed before it arrives Nov. 4.

By 2002 to 2007, the time the housing bubble was inflating, no one was watching. When Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson testified before the Senate Banking Committee last week, he said he was shocked to learn when assuming office in June 2006 that no federal agency regulated mortgage lending. Rather this was an area left to the states.

What Paulson did not say was that when the states attempted to intervene, they were blocked by the Treasury Department???s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. In a February 14 article in the Washington Post written before he resigned, New York attorney general and governor Eliot Spitzer wrote:

"In 2003, during the height of the predatory lending crisis, the OCC invoked a clause from the 1863 National Bank Act to issue formal opinions preempting all state predatory lending laws, thereby rendering them inoperative. The OCC also promulgated new rules that prevented states from enforcing any of their own consumer protection laws against national banks. The federal government's actions were so egregious and so unprecedented that all 50 state attorneys general, and all 50 state banking superintendents, actively fought the new rules. But the unanimous opposition of the 50 states did not deter, or even slow, the Bush administration in its goal of protecting the banks. In fact, when my office opened an investigation of possible discrimination in mortgage lending by a number of banks, the OCC filed a federal lawsuit to stop the investigation."

Why did the Bush administration do this? The only possible answer is that it had every intention of producing the housing bubble, one that had the effect of not only inflating the cost of homes and real estate but also pumping billions of dollars of borrowed cash into the economy through mortgage and home equity loans.

The bubble enriched huge numbers of executives, managers, and shareholders throughout the financial and real estate industries, and provided jobs to millions of people. The bubble also brought back foreign capital to U.S. markets that had been scared away by the dot.com bust of 2000-2001.

Everyone seemed to benefit, but it was those at the top who skimmed the greatest profits. And for an economy that had already given away millions of its best manufacturing jobs through NAFTA, Most-Favored-Nation trading policies with China, World Trade Organization agreements, etc., the bubble acted as a kind of substitute economic engine.

It also resulted in tax revenues that allowed the Bush administration to implement its 2001 and 2003 tax cuts for the rich and provide funding for the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Of course these tax revenues were not enough, as the national debt soared to over $9 trillion during the B

Why would America REWARD complete Republican failure ?

We wont.

I find

The gaping would is being caused by Liberal propaganda. No one in their right mind can say it's not working overtime like never before to get this sham and phony into the white house.

Palin is not running for President, though they keep pairing her up with Mr. 0-bama. What does that say when the presidential candidate is consistently compared to the VP. It means there's no contest between him and McCain. And Palin, again VP candidate, still kicks his butt, contrary to all the Liberal propaganda.

I am sick of hearing that Sarah Palen did better than expected in the debate. Palen was horrible but the press generally seems to be afraid to say so except for a few. She parroted what she was taught, did not answer questions, had no specifics and said some pretty weird stuff using odd words and made up words and convoluted awkward phrasing: ("I quasi-backed down"? ""The crisis on main street is now effecting wall street"? Nuclear war would be "the be all and end all of too many darn people"?) Yikes!! If I were her public speaking professor, I'd give her an "F"!

At least the polls show Biden won. The state of our press is very disappointing. It makes me sick. Edward R. Murrow is rolling in his grave and Walter Cronkite must be ready to jump off his sail boat and end it all.

The Bush Depression

In a few weeks we will make a choice that will decide our future.
I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
Also, he perfectly predicted the current real estate market meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen in the next couple years
is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide the largest morgage bank in the world,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch which are 3 out of the top 5 wall street firms. Also, Fanny and Freddy Mae which hold 50 percent of the home loans in the United States.
The government took them over because they are essentially bankrupt.If they didn't the entire financially system would virtually shut down, the stock market would crash and we would suffer beyond what any of us have seen before.

McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand exactly what is broken.
It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use complex mathematical models very few people understand.
Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.

Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He either didn't care or didn't realize that anything was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime.
It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a surplus like Bush did but a tanking economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit.Bush created a national debt larger then the first 42 presidents combined
If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
So why isnt obama 25 points ahead
The chairman of McCains campaign recently said that people don't vote on issues they vote on a personality composite. Which means he is trying to sell you personality instead of results.
Let's teach him we are smarter than that .

31 states are voting now, dont wait

palin is silly & immature. i was insulted when she said it was not germaine to review & respond to the republican policies of george bush whose selfish, stubborn decisions have spread destruction, chaos, and failure throughout America. in my state, Barack Obama enjoys a broad coalition of support that includes people of every race, religious, economic, & political background.

This columnist is apparently still caught up in the cultural war herself - on the losing side. My grandparents didn't immigrate to this country so I could become a redneck, they could have stayed in the old country for that. Education, social advancement, cultural sophistication are considered by my family as marks of achievement.

Americans love speaking in euphemisms, and the simple translation of "elitist" is "intelligent." Someone who had the drive, determination, and inherent aptitude to get themselves a stellar education and move up in life is called an "elitist" by the people who always had trouble in school and struggled learning their lessons while their "elitist" classmates seemed to move effortlessly ahead. We should never underestimate the anti-intellectual bent of the vast majority of the electorate. They were embarrassed by the "elitists" during grade school days, and those wounds still smart. How self-affirming it must be that someone like Sarah Palin, someone perhaps even more dimwitted than themselves, could potentially be President. It is a complete affirmation of EVERYMAN. Anyone can be President. Anyone...

You want a picture of "elite" and what that attitude will do to this country? Just consider the "upside down" ticket of Obama/Biden. Who has the experience and knowledge on that ballot? Not Obama. Unfortunately, Biden has tried several times for the brass ring and the voters have dropped him before the first round. Now, the really bad news is who is and would be number 3 in the line of succession....Nancy Pelosi. What a trifecta that bundle is! Liberal, liberal, and nut-bag liberal. Please save the country from that dismal fate.

The so-called success last night for Sarah Palin will be a failure in the end. She's been coached very well to...."If you don't know the answer, punt." This is what many bad politicians who don't know the answers resort to in face of ridicule. Don't answer the quesstions, after you're a politician. You don't have to. I am a woman. I've been a hockey mom, not a HOCKEY MOM..gee willikers, wink wink. She doesn't reflect me. She insults me.
If this is womanhood than I resign.

Obama is not elite. He's never done anything except talk. And that to Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko, and if he has things his way Hezbollah, Ahmedinajad, Hamas, Castro, and...hm, what other wild ideas could he come up with... HOPEFULLY we won't find out.
