Election 2008 Update

[wmrs2]

The worst possible way to figure out how to solve the economic problems of this country, or any problems anywhere, is by polling the American people. Naturally the majority of them are going to blame the government or the banks or the man in the moon! None of them will want to admit that the biggest problem is those same people mortgaging themselves to the hilt to buy the latest cell phone, or the fastest computer, or that big screen HDTV for the Superbowl! After all, the banks are willing to bail them out, right?
Well, the fit has hit the shan and the banks aren't bailing them out anymore. Are they going to blame themselves? Not likely! "It's the Republicans, or theDemocrats, or the oil industry, or the stock brokers, or the Japanese, or the terrorists or anybody and everybody else, but not ME!"
When the American people learn some financial responsibility, maybe then they will have some ideas about how to fix the economy. Until then, these polls are a waste of time and effort. But at least the pollsters are collecting a salary!

Well said! You deserve an award for your economic insights. Keep up the good work. You prove that plagiarizing reports does not lead to economic scholarship.

No one person, Dem. or Rep. is at fault in a recession, as you well point out. To those who want to use the state of the economy for political reasons, you get


mkemse, listen up and try to help the problem that the nation faces. It is an American challenge not Dem. or GOP thing. You are being a divider, not a uniter.To help the problem with the economy stop pointing at Bush. He did not teach you financial irresponsibility. By the way, did you ever notice or care to comment on the fact that the Democratic Congress has a lower approval rating than Bush?

I really believe that whoever is elected President, that person will do his best to help the economy. However, as that great philosopher of all toilets once said: Shit Happens!

The United States needs to start taking care of it own MANY HUGE
s issues before we helps every country on earth that asks for our help
I have no issue with US helping others along as we as American are taken care of FIRST by our government

If i buy 1 ice cream cone and my friend is with me i will give him part of it when my urge for ice cream is gone

[wmrs2]

Maybe we missed something but how does ice cream relate to Shit Happens? Well, I guess that is just the way a Bush haters mind works.

"we as Americans are taken care of FIRST by our government" is anti Democrat statement since JFK said "ask not what your country can do for you," well you know the rest of the quote.

That's the problem, all the Bush haters, JFK haters, and Clinton haters want the country to take care of them. Instead of belching out fire and brimstone, patriotic Americans need to get off their asses and support their great Presidents. It's the people supporting their leaders that makes the country what it is.

President Bush has done several great things during his term in office but the disgruntled who seek a handout would rather die than admit it. They would rather see another 9/11 attack than admit Bush has done a good job at national security, they would rather lose the war in Iraq than admit that Iraq's stability was important to our national well being, they would welcome a depression if it could be proven Bush did it.

Maybe, shit doen't just happen. Maybe unpatriotic disgruntled political hacks help it along.

One more thing while the political hacks have their feet in their mouths. Many of us have given up loved ones in our nation's wars, both Dem. and Rep. When our country is at war, it's an American thing. I don't know what the number is, but I personally believe is too high; the number of casualties in Iraq as a direct result of disgruntled political hacks that have given aid and comfort to the enemy, strengthening their resolve to kill our young men and women, is what I talking asbout in saying the number is too high.

Let me translate from English to the Al Quieda language the following statement: first in English, "I support the troops but not the President." (Speaks for itselg)

Now in Al Quieda: "The Americans will give up if we kill more of them." Thanks alot for helping place bullets in our children's bodies. You that do this may call yourselves patrotic but my dead brothers and sister do not.

anyone that comes out for health insurance for every American will get my vote. Strange we want to call ourselves great but of the top 10 industrial countries we alone don't have every one covered somehow.
Having a former sub with several health issues that are no fault of her own but that make earning a living impossible is very hard to take. To know that I am trapped right now working for a company because I get health insurance I pay for is a little hard to swallow.

[wmrs2]

Sir Russell I support your effort to have health coverage and will do all I can to see that you get it. On the other hand, I know what it is like to depend on a government for total support, since I was raised on a government pension. My father will killed in France, 1944 fighting for my freedom. The government should take good care of its own when necessary.

The greatest thing about our country is that it has a system of operation called the Constitution of the USA. It's the system that really takes care of us, not any one political party. President Bush, like the Democratic Presidents before him, are trying to make the system work for all Americans. President Bush deserves our support whether we are a Democrat or Republican. It is no more his fault that 9/11 occurred than it was President Roosevelt's fault that Hitler invaded France. Yet my dad was asked to pay the supreme price and he did.

It bothers me a lot when the Democrats use Bush's situation as a political tool. Obama will most likely be the next President. He admits that he will send the troops into Iraq if Al Quieda establishes a stronghold there. Why did he and other Democrats not say this before that they would do the same thing Bush is now doing? Why did they have to give aid and comfort to the enemy and aid to the casualties of war of our young men and women? This has been an unforgivable sin. If the American people see how they have been duped into bashing Bush over the war for political reasons, there is no way in hell that the American people will keep them in office.

As the political debate goes on and as the Democrats have to explain to the American people that they are forced to do the war just like Bush was forced to do it, the American people will see through what the Democrats have done. The thing the Democrats overlook is that the members of their Party are Americans first. That is why the Democrats may not win in 2008!

Hillary is not done yet

I've been an Obama supporter since he announced his candidacy, but he better not get too overconfidant. She appears to have picked up steam since she won the Ohio and Texas primaries, and Pennsylvania is looming.

It's quite possible that neither of them will win enough delegates to put them over the top. Here's another thought. What if it comes to a Clinton/Obama ticket for President and Vice-President? Personally, I think they'd blow away McCain/ whoever.
