Hey, ABC! Why don't you cover the Obama ACORN and ACORN Housing scandals? Obama says calm down and don't point fingers because they can and should be pointed straight at him and his Dem cohorts! We're sick and tired of the media ignoring these issues!
Google Obama and ACORN now and read all about it!

Straight from Obama's teleprompter! "if you need me call me" - Obama, 2008

The democrats had enough votes as they have a majority and if all the democrats would have supported it, it would have passed. They are blaming the republicans, but they did not have enough of the democrats to vote on the bill. They did not need the republicans vote to pass the bill.

Uh, this proposal was put forth by the Republican administration.If a majority of Republican lawmakers weren't willing to support their president but a majority of democrats were, what does that say about who puts "country first"?

You simple minded people. BiPartisan means putting politics aside for the good of the nation. When the MAJORITY of the republicans in the house vote against the bill that stands out like a sore thumb. it's your president, your vice, your Federal Reserve Chairman, your Treasury Secretary and YOur mess that you brought us all down. Give it a break for a change and think of the nation instead of your own pettiness.

hahaha

mccain sends out email claims credit

bill fails

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

thank you great leader!

ACORN is a non-profit, non-partisan social justice organization with national headquarters in New York, New Orleans and Washington, D.C. To maintain independence, ACORN does not accept government funding and is not tax exempt.

We cannot save privitisation because of these self centered republicans. Stocks are plunging worldwide as we speak and China is lauging..

Nancy Pelosi has to be the worst Speaker of the House in history. She could not even get her own party to pass the bailout bill.

The Bush Administrations policy on this? Sure he wrote up the initial proposal, but you know damn well the Republicans were kept out of the furthering negotiations on this, until McCain came to Washington. Is it hard to tell the truth? Do you get hemmoroids if you do?

Pelosi's speech is a joke as well. My God. Chiding the Republicans, when there is actual footage from 4 years ago, of Republicans warning Congress that this was coming, and the likes of Maxine Waters, and Barney Frank going BAH...there's nothing wrong with it.

Give me a break. Pelosi has about as much sense as a cookie. She's an idiot. Even some of her own dems voted against it. Get it? WE DON"T WANT SOCIALISM!!!!

ACORN may have been written out of it, but remember...ACORN is just the umbrella. They are over 100's of advocacy groups, and I'm sure a few of those got written in. I'm sure Reid tried to pull a fast one, and reinsert the bans on offshore drilling as well.

Not to mention all those people buying houses, that they couldn't afford, wanting part of the deal to have their loans paid for. Free and clear houses for all of them, while we tax payers still have to pay our mortgages, or lose our homes.

The Press is a joke anyway. They're so in the tank for Obama, there is absolutely no hiding it. You want socialism, go have it. This is America though, and by going socialist, you go against the Constitution. So I'd advise you all to find new digs, somewhere else.

THIS mess started with the DEREGULATION ACT in the Carter administration that everyone without income or credit should be allowed to own a home, and then the government run Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were to insure these lousy loans! The Republicans tried to regulate this crisis in 2005 and the Democrats blocked the bill! Use to be to buy a home you needed three things: ten percent down, a stable work history, and a stable credit history and not spending more of your income than what you bring in! SOMEHOW this changed with this “housing act” and then you had people who could not afford to rent getting into mortgages with ARM’s…..NOW we are to bail out the investors who made these bad loans? AND Pelosi wants it to have all these federal earmarks for MORE unnecessary funding of risky mortgages? SHE is an IDIOT!

Hey Casey-Google John McCain and the Keating Five if you want to talk about scandals.

Fran: "The democrats had enough votes as they have a majority and if all the democrats would have supported it, it would have passed. "

So you're arguing the Democrats should have just shoved this down the throats of over 40% of the American people just because they could? Are you honestly saying it is a bad thing that on a matter of this magnitude they feel they need more than a bare majority to commit us to this?

Shameful. Republicans are a party of such short sighted game players only interested in winning a point and staying in power that they assume everyone is just as bad. I support the Dems being willing to forgo scoring a point in the interest of trying to bring the country together on at least this one, ugly mess.

Casey:

A few conservative web sites and blogs do not make facts. Most of this ACORN talk is just talk by a few individuals who want to get popular. There is a reason why legitimate news do not want to touch this.

Go do something useful...

David: "She could not even get her own party to pass the bailout bill. "

...the bailout bill that was demanded by the Republican administration to clean up the mess caused by their lack of Executive Branch oversight. At least this is an honest result of Republican ideological failure - the great deregulators, letting the free market reign - as opposed to naked incompetence like Katrina and heck-uv-a-job Brownie.

I believe you are right Fran, was that not part of the election issue 2 years ago that the democrats won back the majority?

I thought the majority vote wins. If the dems have been controling the House for two years why are they continuing to blame the GOP for their unforseen mistakes when they have been the ones in control?

In Colorado, ACORN registered some individuals 40 separate times. The ACORN director in Ohio played this down, saying in effect just because you register somebody 35 times doesn’t mean that they get to vote 35 times. A fairly cavalier attitude.

In Washington state, felony charges were brought against ACORN workers and some went to jail.

In Michigan, ACORN enrolled 200,000 voters and a spokesman for the secretary of state of Michigan has said that there appears to be a sizable number of duplicate and fraudulent applications.

The Clark County, Nev., registrar claims that there has been rampant fraud, and counts roughly 40 percent of registration applications submitted by ACORN from January through July had been rejected or questioned.

In Pennsylvania, official are investigating ACORN for filing fraudulent voter registrations. One ACORN worker is facing 19 counts of perjury for making false statements.

In Wisconsin, more allegations of fraud. Milwaukee election officials recently turned in 32 more ACORN voter registration workers to the district attorney’s office for possible prosecution, bringing the total to 39.

UsedtolikeMcCain said: ACORN is a non-profit, non-partisan social justice organization with national headquarters in New York, New Orleans and Washington, D.C. To maintain independence, ACORN does not accept government funding and is not tax exempt.

Are you freakin kidding me??? Google hon. Google!!!

Here's a start for you.......

ACORN's history makes for pretty interesting reading. The Clinton Administration found that ACORN was misspending government grants designed to help counsel the poor. Although it seeks minimum wage increases in cities and states across the country -- ACORN sued the state of California to get out of paying its own employees the state minimum wage.

and...

Just last year, in an effort to put a wage initiative on the ballot in Albuquerque, New Mexico, ACORN employee's forged thousands of fraudulent signatures. The group is involved in initiative efforts in a half-dozen states this year. How many thousands of signatures will they forge to forward their agenda?

Like hell they're not partisan. They work mostly to garner votes for the Democratic party. Even if they have to make up, steal SS numbers and names, or rob headstones in a grave yard to do it.

Barack Obama was instrumental in training many of their "community organizers. ACORN is a huge partner with Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. All social programs, all started by Democrats.

the middle class has spoken. congrats congress on killing the wall street bailout. a dem in louisiana

usedtolikemcCain: ACORN receives approximately 40% of its monies from taxpayers. It is supposed to be bipartisan, but is NOT. And, it is riddled with fraud.
From NeverLikedObama.

Pity!! After John McCain tried a trick to quit debate and make show in washington his own Republicans did not listen to him!! They voted neh than they voted yeah! A shame for McCain, his trick did not work!! If the majority of republicans won´t listen to him even after that so-called intervension how can he lead effectively?? The majority of Dems voted! Shame to McCain!

ACORN is an organization wholly dedicated to voter fraud.
Indict them all.

If any person even thinks about asking you, the taxpayer, to "bail out" crooks, greedy, swinish bank fatcats or those equally fat, stupid, SUV driving, over-extended, gluttonous Americans, spit in their faces. It is an obscene affront that Dems and Bush would even ask for something so ridiculous and futile. If either Obama or McCain had said "screw you" to Wall ST. they would have my vote and also would have guaranteed their election. Neither Senator had the guts, wisdom or decency to say NO to swine. So much for "vision" and change. So much for mavericks. I'm voting for Ralph Nader!

What I am having a tough time grasping are the GOP elected officials who voted down the bill because Pelosi called the Bush administration on the carpet. My friends are barely hanging on to their small businesses as credit lines that were there before dry up and many House Republicans voted "nay" because their feelings were hurt? What is even more disheartening is they had the gall to admit to the public such childish behavior.

After bragging today about his role in shaping the economic bailout package, Sen. John McCain has made no statement to the press since the defeat of the bill, in part at the hands of House Republicans.

McCain boarded his Straight Talk Air charter plane a few minutes ago, but the plane has not taken off yet. McCain is in the front of the plane, separated from reporters by a brown curtain

Aides to McCain have not characterized his reaction to the bills defeat. On Sunday, he said he would "swallow hard" but vote for the plan, which he said was better than originally proposed.

By the way - as we watch the market tumble thanks to those of you who complained about the bailout - we are losing much more than 700 billion in our collective net worth. Most of you who were doing the complaining would not have had to pay the extra tax that would have paid for the bailout in the first place.

No more Republicans!!!!!!!!!

*****************************************
Correction ACORN recieves over 40% funding from govt sources, mostly govt grants. However, they are being investigated because they are taking this money under the guise of "consumer advocacy" to line their own pockets. Typical, since Obama was part of this organization. Everything he touches turns to rust.

Howaboutcharacter said : Hey Casey-Google John McCain and the Keating Five if you want to talk about scandals.

Now go for the truth. McCain was exonerated as having done nothing wrong, and the lawyer that was prosecuting this, said of all that were brought forth in this, John McCain was the one he believed most...and this prosecutor is a Democrat!!!

usedtolikemcCain:

ACORN and its fraudulent voter registration activities are being investigated in several counties in Ohio and throughout the US. They are a terrible organization. Truly vile.

James Terry, Chief Public Advocate for the Consumers Rights League, today testified at a joint House Administration and House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing on "Federal, State and Local Efforts to Prepare for the General 2008 Election," where he highlighted "corruption at every level of ACORN including embezzlement, cover-ups, misuse of taxpayer funds and voter fraud." An excerpt of his testimony follows:
The Consumers Rights League is a non-profit, non-partisan educational organization dedicated to protecting consumer choice and access to the marketplace.
James Terry, Chief Public Advocate, Consumers Rights League:
"ACORN routinely says it will clean up its act. Yet, given its decade-long history of voter fraud, embezzlement, and misuses of taxpayer funds, ACORN's pattern of fraud can no longer be dismissed as a series of 'unfortunate events.' Furthermore, as this mega organization with a decades long history of violating the law is turned to get out the vote efforts, we believe it is fair to question how many fraudulent registrations may lead to fraudulent votes or what other activities they are willing to undertake to influence the election.

Sound like a conservative news site to you, Unshrub?

Haha, I remember Obama said 'McCain deserves zero credit for the bailout.'

He thought the plan would pass.

In McCain interview on Sunday, McCain didn't claim credit at all, he said he will let history judge it.

Obama gamble lost!

This is proof that the Media is in the tank for Obama. McCain never took credit. But, Obama sure did yesterday! He said that McCain should get no credit for Bailout!

John McCain CAN take credit for the House vote being as close as it was.

Initially, only a handful of House Republicans were in favor of the bill.

Apparently McCain was able to bring some 60+ additional House members on board for the proposal.

Why weren't the Dems able to bring their straying 40% on board?

Classic Pelosi, She couldn't get her party to vote for the bailout so she blames the Republicans.

Well can somebody please tell me why there were a lot of Dems who did not vote for this bill? They hold the majority, so if they thought it was the best thing for us why did the Dems not vote for it? Oh that is right they needed the republicans to support it because if it failed they would not be holding the bag and than they had somebody to blame for this! Obama and the Dems all the same, look for somebody to blame and not take ownership of anything unless it will be in their benefit! Go figure! Way to go our Republican Reps, dont let the lefties put this country under anymore than they already have!

McCain didn't send out emails. First article this morning and noticed that ABC News "All About Clinton" has taken down the article were Obama claims credit for bail out bill and McCain should get none. Nice job Obama an Pelosia.

Why is it the Republicans' fault the market is falling?

If the 40% of Dems who voted against it had come on board behind their "LEADERS" it would have been a shoo-in.

McCain FAILED to get enough votes on the House GOP side to get this bill passed.

2/3 of Dems voted for this but 2/3 of GOP voted against this.

A majority of the House Dems voted for the bill. A majority of the House GOP voted against the bill. Well, Senator McCain, it's time for you to tell your fellow Republicans to put country first.

It is NOT just the house Republicans who are against this. Read the polls. The common man and woman on main street is against this bailout overwhelmingly.

The house Republicans are doing what they are supposed to be doing, expressing the will of the people who put them in office. On the other hand, the Democrats and Obama are doing exactly the opposite. House Democrats are ignoring those who elected them to office, giving them a pat on the head and saying like the true elitests they are, trust me. HA!

The Democrats have had control of congress long enough to see this coming (Pelosi has stated they did) and put the controls back into place they say were missing. But no! They were perfectly happy to let things go and then when things collapse, put the blame elsewhere.

Sorry, Democrats were in control. If they say there was a problem, and they claim there was, as the majority party in control, they should have done something about it.

Dems did their end of the bargain. It was the GOP who did not live up to their end of the bargain.

The do nothing Democrats! They should have done something long ago to prevent failures.

Here comes the Republicans 'voodoo math' ! LOL

The large MAJORITY of Dem's voted "YEA",
the large MAJORITY of Repub's voted "NAY". The House Republicans FAILED TO PASS THIS BILL. Do the real math.

The Dem's only took away the Repub's chance to go home to their districts and say "I didn't vote for it". What a bunch of morons. If they were for the plan they should have voted for it...don't blame the

chuck:

Because the "leader" of the Democratic Party, Obama, said to only call him if he was needed, instead of staying around closer there to Washington where he might have been able to persuad a few more Dems to vote for it. Of course, that would have involved taking a stand and making a decision.

That, and the House "Leader" Pelosi, doesn't know the meaning of "bi-partisan" and has been insulting the Republican House members all week.

When has it ever been the minority party's responsibility to pass legislation?

McCain arguably took the House Reps from 0 to 60 in a few days.
Pelosi went -94 (can't even include Obama in the mix b/c he wasn't) in the same time, and apparently can't count high enough.

The Dems should have known and locked in their votes - Pelosi mismanaged it - in terms of locking down 11 more Dem votes to bring it to passage, in terms of her awful "blame the Republicans for the mess we're in" speech - and the markets are showing.

David...The Dems voted YES...the Reps voted NO....get the facts straight..

David...The Dems voted YES...the Reps voted NO....get the facts straight..

I hope McCain is enjoying his crow.To all of you who are blaming the Dems....where were the republicans? It was their President's bill. It was supposed to be 50/50. McCain and Pelosi both big losers today.

CLASSIC OBAMA,BE "PRESENT",it will all go away ,I have no plan till my 3500 advisors and my buddy the teleprompter comes in!

TO CASEY: The mainstream media will not cover the ACORN issue, not to mention Obama's 900 MILLION in earmarks, his crooked housing friends, his religous nut case of 20+ yrs, or his wifes negative paper of hatred because the MEDIA wants him in. God help us all. Instead they will keep digging for more bad info on Palin.

Sandy B

*This is a Republican Bill

*Requested by a Republican President and members of his cabinet.

*The Democrats heeded the dire warnings of Paulson and spent the last 8 days hammering out a compromise.

In the end, the Republicans failed to support their leader and the nominee for President of their party.

Obama and McCain are both fools! Neither of them apprehend where the American people are on this issue of bailing out failed pigs.

Apparently neither one of these senate-marinated yokels is really interested in becoming president, because if they were sincerely interested in getting elected, and if either were truly intelligent (or even politicaly savvy) they would have said NO to Wall St. A No vote would have garnered for either senator millions of free-floating votes from GOPers, dems and independents, all of whom have had it with being sucked dry by Congress and crooks. How can two men so grossly ambitious as to aspire to the presidency of the United States be so dim and so utterly out of touch with their fellow Americans? Is Ralph Nader, a real public servant, the only voice in America that makes any sense at all? Yes, it appear that way..

ABC, better hurry and pull the story where Obama took credit for the bailout yesterday.

McCain will survive it.

Congressional dems won't -- now they have the doublewhammy ... both voting for a bill their constituents didn't like and failing to pass it.

Wonder how Obama would manage with a Republican Congress?

Obama Bush 3rd!

Democrate supported Bush more than Republican did!

Wait a minute! Obama claimed credit for the bill. He said that he had been talking to Paulson every day for two weeks and most of the language he proposed is in the bill.

Voter: "When has it ever been the minority party's responsibility to pass legislation?"

When the legislation was proposed by an Administration run by the minority party for the past 8 years.

It's disgusting that you're trying to turn the Democrats refusal to ram this down the throats of the people represented by Republicans as a bad thing. Democrats respect all Americans, not just the ones who vote for Ds and do not want to force this vile medicine down their throats.

I applaud those Dems that listened to their constituents, and not letting Nancy, Harry, and others muscle them into this.

Nancy has an underlying motive for the expediency on this. She's using fear tactics, and some are being suckered into this.

The hero's in this whole thing, are the Dems, and Repubs, who listened to their constituents. They Rock!!! They were the true bipartisans today!

If the Dems didn't want the "Republican Bill" as you call it, why didn't they immediately vote and turn it down, THEN propose some other legislation in its place?

The Dems decided they would "fix" the bill, and tried to get extra slush dollars for their pet projects involved, and that is why the public went up in arms against it.

Hey Casey, How about the American Public relly look into the keeting5 scandal and John Mccain's military records, his habitual gambling addiction! You can find information on John Mccain's gambling addiction on Sept 28, issue of the N.Y. Times and the Huffington Post!

Gallup holds steady with Obama up 8.

The Neocons have bankrupted our beloved Republican Party. Now they are bankrupting our nation. Party like it's 1929, my friends. Vote for Obama/Biden. Our only hope.

Obama didn't put the ACORN funding into the bill - but whoever did it - ACORN helps with low-income housing. They probably should separate that part of their work from voter registration anyway.

All the conservatives with your backs up - and all the progressives who are pissed off because you don't run Wall Street and make all these profits have to calm down.

We have to be very careful about our analysis - that it is reasonable and not tainted by revisionist history, fantasy, or lack of vision. It is time to stop making up your mind whether someone is an idiot or not because they aren't in your party and realize that many of us have been duped, at one time or another, into believing things that weren't true. I was naive about both Clinton and Edwards' affairs. Lynne Cheney thinks that James Madison came up with our Constitution and that Thomas Jefferson had nothing to do with it. Newt and Ann Coulter are busy trying to get us to spread the news that Obama is a terrorist.

Give it a rest, folks. There's blame to go around and we need to come up with some solution that gives us a moment to figure out how to turn our consumer-society around. We are going to need innovative teachers and inspired leaders and motivated people in every community - red or blue or green or whatever.

Go to the store and get something to cook. I've been making soup. Keep something good in the kitchen for your fmailies and, if you don't have something, let me know.

Have to go teach - love, Mom

Senator McDRAMA should get the credit he deserves for this mess! Suspended campaign, indeed. Does he take us all for a bunch of Sarah Palins?

In case you didn't notice 91 DEMOCRATS Voted Against the bill....So why would Pelosi even bring the bill to the table if her own didn't want it. The Dem's had plenty of votes to pass it.

McCain at least put skin in the game and - he was working and pushing House Republicans. What exactly was Obama doing - to reach across the aisle, or to work his own side of the house - besides saying "I'm here if you need me"?

I respect someone for trying and failing (and then trying again, I'm sure), then someone who takes a CYA "innocent bystander" stance.

MCain did nothing. The measure was ready to pass before he got his small part in th the stew...

Well, McCain suspending his campaign really worked out for him, about as well as the Iraq war has worked out for America. McCain needs to step aside and let a real Republican, Ron Paul run for President.

Ex Republican

RDB: Your old news and misleading innuendos have been covered. Most people don't care about the collection of old news and half-truths they were shown to be. If you want to rehash them, there are several hard right sites just for you. For anyone else who cares, it's usually quickest to just hit factcheck.org or the urban legends site, snopes.com, to get the rundown of these silly things.

PS: That New Yorker cover was a parody, not a hidden-camera photo.

McCain" I'm suspending my campaign to go back to washington to see that this bill gets passed" Poor John another gamble that backfired...yep those republicans really fell in line. What a great leader you turned out to be.

MAYBE OBAMA SHOULD PACK UP AND DO WHAT THE 'GAMBLER" TOLD HIM TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE.. COME TO WASHINGTON
THE COUNTRY IS ABOUT TO HIT CHAOS..

OBAMA DOES NOT MIND WHAT HAPPENS TO THIS COUNTRY AS LONG AS IT ADDS TO HIS MESSAIHNESS.
HE IS CLAIMING CREDIT FOR THE BAILOUT .. MCCAIN CHANGED THE MINDS OF AT LEAST 60 SENATORS..
WHAT HAS OBAMA DONE??
RIGHT ANSWER: NOTHING!!
ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!!
THATS ALL HE KNOWS.
HE WONT TELL US WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT OBAMA .. JUST TELLS US WHAT IS BAD ABOUT PALIN AND MCCAIN.
OBAMA DOES NOTHING!
OBAMA DOES NOTHING BUT POINT FINGERS AND PROMISE EVERYBODY THE MOON.
THIS GUY WOULD BE DIRECT FROM THE FRYING PAN INTO THE FIRE.
ONLY MCCAIN CAN HANDLE SUCH A PRECARIOUS ECONOMY WITH DISCIPLINE. LEARNING FROM NISTAKE.. OBAMA WOULD BE HANDING OUT LEFT AND RIGHT..SOCIALISM

Obama and McCain: two dim-witted cowards. Both lost a golden opportunity to say yes! to the strapped, hardworking American taxpayer and No! to Wall Street corruption, excess and greed. The fact that neither presidential candidate opposed this inane behemoth speaks volumes about how both Obama and McCain remain firmly under the vampiric imfluence of lobbyists, the monied and the myopic. Shame on both of these losers

And why couldn't Pelosi just keep her trap shut instead of repeatedly insulting the Republicans across the aisle.

The Republicans made no bones that they were not in favor of this bill for the most part. McCain at least encouraged some of them to participate and many more decided to play ball because he did.

How come Obama wasn't in there providing leadership to "his" Party to get the deal passed? Or is he just Pelosi's "puppet" like everyone says??

So many of you were more concerned with whether the debate would go on. Mccain ws concerned about this economic mess and he flew twice to Washington- Obama PHONED it in. As usual ..one is for America first, the other is for HIMSELF first !! Now when is the Fannie and Freddie POSTER BOY OBAMA going to give back those huge donations he received ??? The Democrats and their give away of loans to everyone caused this mess !!! Then they voted against any regulations propsed by McCain years ago. Now watch Barney and Nancy etc sweat !!1

KLS...the candidates were actually asked to stay out of this( to keep it non-political) until the president requested their presence....

The democrats had enough votes as they have a majority and if all the democrats would have supported it, it would have passed. They are blaming the republicans, but they did not have enough of the democrats to vote on the bill. They did not need the republicans vote to pass the bill.

The vote against the measure was 228 to 205, with 133 Republicans joining 95 Democrats in opposition. The bill was backed by 140 Democrats and 65 Republicans.

Jeanie, you hit the nail on the head. When will the public wise up and toss these liberals out on their butts? Obama is a fraud and we no longer have true journalists in television because they're all in the tank for NoBama - trying to cover up and spin everything to his advantage.

Draw Your Conclusions

The bailout bill was brought forward by a Republican administration.

Over 2/3rds of Democrats voted for it.

John McCain said that he would deliver the votes of Republicans.

He "suspended his campaign" to do it.

He made this a central test of his leadership by doing so.

He said he would not attend the debate unless the bailout bill passed.

He attended the debate.

He failed to deliver the Republican votes.

The bill did not pass.

Draw your conclusions.

jhw ... Sorry you can't understand basic logic:

the party who didn't support the bill (Repubs) largely voted against it.

the party which claimed the high road as it own* didn't generate the votes for it.

Which is more inconsistent? Which is more damaging?

*as in Pelosi's tirade

Jimbo...you must be a "BIMBO"....McCain created the problem by pushing for de-regulation.. That started the whole mess........!!! You have to have people watching these institutions...

Pelosi politicized the process. The Democrats had the votes, they did not use them. It was not truly bipartisan, but only had the appearance thereof. This is precisely the kind of political lack of cooperation that McCain has been addressing in the campaign. Democrats seem to forget that the lowest approval rating is NOT of George Bush, but rather the Democrat controlled House and Senate. And the Democrats want congress to control and monitor health care? You've GOT to be kidding. We really need McCain/Palin now. If you want to see the federal government double in size and taxes further sink our economy into a bottomless pit, then vote for the socialist Obama and foot in mouth Biden. With a clear total Democrat stranglehold on our government, look out for your wallet and be sure to keep your guns and your religion, you will surely need all of them.
