What person with intelligence above a 6th grader is not insulted by the political meaningless trife that political contestants recite in the prepared speeches they gush out before their correographed live audiences? How can anyone listen to that nothingness without feeling insulted? Would it really turn away voters if a politician presented rational information on a subject? Probally Yes. guess we better keep it going, anyway that reflects what we really are.

I will improve education for your chrildren and grandchrilden, lower taxes so that middle class Americans can keep more of the money that they work so hard for, reduce crime, provide medical care for all working people and improve your daily living conditions. I will bring the fighting men and women home from Iraq to be with their love ones and families. It's about time someone did something for the middle class Americans in this country and that's what I will do when you send me to Washington to be your President. (clap,clap,horay, horay, etc. ) What a joke folks!!! and most of us stand there clapping and screaming in approval. We are all a bunch of sheep being lead around like 6th graders. It is embarrassing to watch Political canidates shoving out this canned trife. Shame on you Americans..

I was just thinking, which can be dangerous, How would any of the candidates stand up to to a congressional investigation of their eligibility for a political appointment????

I think this worthless democratic congress should be ashamed of themselves. They act like children and we the people are the ones that are hurt….I think we should vote all the bastards out….how bad can we be hurt then…Barach Obama…is nothing more than a mouth piece for the Chicago mob…….how worthless….god help this United States when we get this kind of trash to lead our country

When are the american people going to wake-up and take this counrty back. Right now the politicians have taken over and do things that help them financially and politically. the very people we want to help us are helping themselves and to hell with us
We need to stop funding the enemy with our buying of foreign oil and drill here in america and screw OPEC

Jesse Jackson just needed some media time, so he made a comment that was as lame as possible just so the media would pick-up on it…….what scum would do that?

Patch perfect grass seed is a scam

Oprah is nothing but a racist bitch

Juan Williams says Sarah Palin doesn’t have the experience to be vice-president, let alone president….when Obama has less experince than Sarah Palin has…..What a bias idiot.

Thomas Sowell wrote this this article today:

“Senator Obama’s words often sound very reasonable and moderate, as well as lofty and inspiring. But everything that he has actually done over the years places him unmistakably with the extreme left elitists.

Sadly, many of those who are enchanted by his rhetoric are unlikely to check out the facts. But nothing is a more real or more important issue than whether what a candidate says is the direct opposite of what he has actually been doing for years.

The old phrase, “a man of high ideals but no principles,” is one that applies all too painfully to Barack Obama today. His words expressing lofty ideals may appeal to the gullible but his long history of having no principles makes him a danger of the first magnitude in the White House.”

Part of an article from the debate last night:

“The sky-high gasoline prices Americans paid all summer were effectively an energy tax, brought to us by policies limiting energy production supported chiefly by Democrats like Nancy Pelosi.

Barrack Obama, too, talked up the foreign-policy considerations of dependence on foreign oil. Yet he also made sure to empathize with families for whom $3.80 gas strains the budget. The irony that Senator Obama’s party shoulders much of the responsibility for those high prices.

McCain squandered an opportunity to clarify his differences from Obama on nuclear power. The facts are these: Both candidates claim to support nuclear power, but McCain actually seems to mean it. He supports opening the Yucca Mountain waste repository, a critical step in guaranteeing the expansion of nuclear energy. Meanwhile, Obama vows to shut down Yucca, though provides no alternatives. He’s trying to have it both ways. He can say he supports nuclear, as do increasing numbers of Americans. But he sends an unmistakable signal to the anti-nuclear environmental lobby that, without Yucca Mountain, nuclear power isn’t going to expand on his watch.”

Obama showed why at this late date he is the favorite to win come Election Day. Without any hesitation, Obama stated that we have to prioritize and that energy tops the list. (The fact that Obama said in the first debate that energy would be the first item on his agenda he’d abandon will no doubt be tossed down the memory hole by his cheerleaders in the mainstream media.)

Excerpts from a Thomas Sowell article:
Senator McCain’s health care plan is built around giving households more control over health care coverage decisions. He would convert today’s income-tax preference for employer-paid insurance into a refundable tax credit that workers and their families could direct to the insurance plan of their choice.

Obama and Biden are trying to scare voters by suggesting, first of all, that McCain’s reform would leave some households worse off than they are today. In fact, most Americans would come out well ahead under the McCain plan, as independent estimates — and common sense — indicate. A middle-class household in the 25-percent tax bracket — that’s married couples with incomes between $65,100 and $131,450 in 2008 — would have to get more than $20,000 a year in employer-paid premiums to be better off today than under the McCain plan. (The average employer contribution to family coverage was $9,325 in 2008, according to this annual survey.) A distributional analysis of the McCain plan by the Tax Policy Center shows all income groups, including the poorest fifth, better off with the McCain tax credit than under current law in 2009.

Senators Obama and Biden have also tried to claim that millions of Americans would be pushed out of employer-based plans under the McCain reform. But this claim is also false. McCain’s proposal would give workers the option to take their credit and apply it to insurance outside of their workplace. In some cases, this would be a rational decision, as it would give a worker portable insurance they could keep even as their employment and life circumstances change.

But there is no reason to believe large numbers of employers would suddenly drop coverage altogether. Job-based insurance would still be very desirable for most workers, as the premiums paid by firms would remain exempt from payroll taxes. For this reason, employers looking to attract and retain the best workers offer attractive health-insurance plans.

As Senator Obama has criticized the McCain plan in recent weeks, one has to wonder whether he even understands his own plan. Indeed, it is Obama’s plan, not McCain’s, that represents the real threat to employer-sponsored insurance.
