Political Punch

George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years.
The first six the economy was fine.

However, a little over one year ago:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19/gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) the DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000+
5) American''s were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!...

But American''s wanted ''CHANGE''! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress & yes--we got ''CHANGE'' all right!.....

1) Consumer confidence has plummeted ;
2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!!;
3) Unemployment is up to 6% (a 20% increase);
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by 12 TRILLION DOLLARS & prices still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) as I write, THE DOW is probing another low~~11,300--$2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!

*YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE!...AND WE SURE GOT IT!!!....NOW the DEM''S CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT--AND THE POLLS SAY HE''S GONNA BE ''THE MAN''--CLAIMS HE''S GOING TO REALLY GIVE US CHANGE!!....JUST HOW MUCH MORE ''CHANGE'' DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND???*

It is true Barack Hussein Obama went to Harvard, but that does not entitle him to make disparaging remarks about the small town people of Pennsylvania and Ohio and Michigan. Who does he think he is?

I can't even tell the TRUTH about Hussein Obama (Ayers, Acorn w/c defrauded election in Chicago, and Barack is the leader of that, J. Wright, 143 days in the Senate kind of experience, etc. etc. .... because if I do, people will brand me as a racist. On the other hand, if they bash Mc Cain, it is okay.

This country has reverse descrimination.

Why is MSNBC ALWAYS lying us? 99% of what they report is a blatant lie.

Want to talk Liberalism? This comment board overwhelmingly writes about having a one-party system with no checks and balances, as we watch the world's economy crumble in our own backyard; anyone here have perspective? Ever give any thought to why we have a 3-layered Constitution: Legislative, executive, and judicial. checks and balances. Ever hear the term? No matter how hard you may want Republican victory in the election, it sounds more like a Republican addiction. Like watching a bunch of crackheads who don't know what happens when we all run like a herd over the cliff. Talk about liberalism.

....but there is still a core of ignorant (NON WHITE)who only (95%)vote for (NON)whites, and none other. Sad isn't it? Makes you wonder what went wrong and why so many still think this way.

It seems to work both way, be fair and critique equally...

Non -White myself

Well, Obama is definitely going to take NC. Polls are showing him tied, which means "winning." And if you don't think the McCain camp is feeling it, then note the fact that they've suddenly felt the need to open 20 new field offices in NC. I guess they're finally realizing what the people of NC know: McCain has lost it.

North Dakota has 3 electoral votes and the last Democratic Presidential candidate they voted for was Lyndon B. Johnson. What a fascinating "news" story.

"Polls show that 15-20% of the voters who are voting for McCain have answered that they would not vote for anyone of color no matter what."

So we need a rock star who is an albino?

Johnny Winter for POTUS!

"I will be attending STANDING ROOM ONLY rally for Gov. Palin in Orange County Calif in early October....20,000 expected."

You mean the event for later this week that was canceled?

"Speaking of Biden, I have heard and read Hillary will be replacing him on Oct. 5 due to "health" reasons"

Yes well they write lots of insane things at free republic.

Best not to believe everything you read.

Polls show that 15-20% of the voters who are voting for McCain have answered that they would not vote for anyone of color no matter what. This even includes a lot of the Democrats that were supporting Clinton. We've had Blacks, Hispanic, and Asians voting for White Caucasian candidates for years, but there is still a core of ignorant who only vote for whites, and none other. Sad isn't it? Makes you wonder what went wrong and why so many still think this way. It must make McSame very proud that a goodly part of his core constituency is represented by these types of individuals.

After college Obama moved to Chicago to be part of the Jerry Kellman organization as a community organizer. … Among the primary goals of Alinsky was radical socialism and redistribution of wealth. Alinsky taught his proteges to 'HIDE' their true goals by any means necessary. Lying was fine. The objective of Alinsky and Kellman was to turn people against the white establishment,"......

"So we have a candidate who has no experience, he's got no achievements, but his associations with genuine America-hating radicals occasionally cause him to say things that lead me to believe he's bought into a lot of what he's heard. I think he's bought into it, and I think he repeats it. I think he is the formation of an indoctrination that has occurred to him his whole life, and now he seeks the presidency.... What to make of Michelle Obama's use of the terms, 'The world as it is' and 'The world as it should be?'" "Try Chapter 2 of Saul Alinksy's book, 'Rules for Radicals.'" NO WAY NOBAMA........I'd rather have the hockey mom McCain/Palin 08

nina, you're right. That's why anothet official said that an estimate of 25,000 showed up.

Today, in the Washington Post, the truh about our "mavericks":

"Clutch of Bush veterans helping to coach Gov. Sarah Palin reflects a larger reality about Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign: Far from being a group of outsiders to the GOP power structure, it is now run largely by skilled operatives who learned their crafts in successive Bush campaigns and jobs across Bush government over past eight years."

I was at the rally for Palin. I am an Obama supporter. There was no 60,000 people at the rally is another one of Mccain's campaign's lies. I go to all my college football games and I know what 60,000 crowd looks like and this was not even close.

Mission Accomplished !!

Not only did the Bush administration do nothing to protect consumers, it embarked on an aggressive and unprecedented campaign to prevent states from protecting their residents from the very problems to which the federal government was turning a blind eye.

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.

"2006 was one of the biggest Congressional reversals in history."
-----
And Democratic saboteurs Kerry and Pelosi have thrown it away with the installation of mob-friendly fraud Obama.

McCain, unlike the hijacked "Democrats", actually HAS stood up to the BushCons.

And McCain's initial response to the ruinous "bailout" -- which will make the rich even richer, while devaluing the few dollars available to the underclasses beyond survival levels -- was to oppose it.

Pelosi's initial response was to send Congress home. Obama's initial response was to SUPPORT it.

Vote for McCain/Palin. Looks like they're the ONLY hope.

"How's that looking to you now Howard? Or was that just what you used to dump the qualified, competitive candidate?"

2006 was one of the biggest Congressional reversals in history.

The Dems are competitive now in red states for various Congressional and statewide offices.

The state parties which were left to with an die in the interim elections have been running full blast all thru 2007 & 2008.

Look at Senate races in VA, NM, CO & NC.

1972 re-do.

"len: A great deal of that was ADDED BY THE DEMOCRATS. Get your facts straight."

I didn't say otherwise. I said take notice of the fact that the foxes get to leave the coop with the chicken eggs tucked in their briefcases.

You think this is a battle of us vs them. It isn't. The people need to reclaim their government and future from BOTH of these parties.

The one way to do it is to pound both sides until they quit shouting at each other and start making a better deal with America.

This election is about more than throwing the bums out. It is about not replacing them with yet another bunch of bums.

McCain is in all 50 states.
