The Numbers

I keep asking, where can I participate in these polls? Until the time that I can see the true source of these ephemeral numbers is the actual American public, I will give them no credibility.

While Bush is certainly a catalyst for a lot of these problems, it is not just him or the government. These firms have made bad decisions, as have many of us who have overspent and looked at finances in a "pollyanna best-case" way (and I am guilty of that, as well). Hopefully, we will be able to avert a depression - I think of my parents who live off the interest from their investments and whom have been hit hard by this - but in any event, we need to pull together and stop this partisan fighting. The article says this could hurt McCain, but I believe this turn of events only more strongly illustrate how much we need someone of McCain's experience at reaching across the aisle and his strength of character. As much as we all want and need change, we don't need to place our futures - and, more importantly, our children's futures - in the hands of a man (Obama) who has only shown that he will do anything and step over anyone to get elected. We need McCain and Palin to help steer our country through these tough economic times.

McCain WINS - that will be the end to this nightmare campaign. Obama is just not qualified - If Obama was in touch with America he would have selected Hilary like her or not. The American people in large numbers wanted her as President.

Obama has no chance at all - never had -the American people are not stupid like Hollywood and the left who only want someone who says what they want to hear.
Qualified are not. Again Not -

The big question is will the Democrats wake up and make the changes our country needs are will they block everything that brings change?

My guess is that they will continue to do nothing with losers like ried and palosi who promote nothing but hate. They are so un-American or just stupid.

McCain will be our Truman

if we elect mccain the economy will continue to slide further in the ditch buhs put us in. we have to stop giveing to the rich so they can send jobs overseas and manage companies bad so we the workingclass have to bail them out. obama has a fantastic tax plan it will make the rich pay there fair share and lower how much us poor working class ahve to pay. also obama will help get insurance for 47,000,000 that dont have it and wont get it under mccain.

Good job a citizen! Reid and Pelosi are both. They are un-American as well as stupid. Just look at the gas situation this week end, and those two morans don't want to pump. Can't wait till November!!

MCSAME signed a document in Viet Nam agreeing that his is a war criminal. He even said he was broken by the guards who were merely detaining him. He could have left but he was didn't want to fight any more so sat the war out. He cannot be trusted as commander-in-chief. He is also deep in the pockets of lobbyists. He is merely a puppet. He has been on The Hill for a quarter of a century. He is the problem and needs to be voted out of office immediately.

What do you expect, Cheney said "deficits don't matter" now look at the economy. If your currency is worthless so are your companies, real estate etc...soon Saudi and China will own the US.

One of the first things Governor Sarah Palin did upon taking office was to have a TANNING BED installed in the Governor's Mansion for her use.

“The governor did have a tanning bed put in the Governor’s Mansion,” Roger Wetherell, chief communications officer of Alaska’s Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, confirmed to this newspaper. “It was done shortly after she took office [in early 2007] and moved into the mansion.”

Good to know where Sarah Palin's priorities are. I wonder where that money for the tanning bed came from... They cost between $10,000 - $35,000.

McCain has offered no solutions only criticisms and distortions of Senator Obama's ideas. I look forward to the debates mostly so we can focus again on the issues, which are of huge importance in this election.

I hope people watch the debates to decide whether they agree with policies of the candidates. Voting from information spread by the forwarded e-mails of well meaning relatives is not in our best interest as a country.

come on people the drill baby drill thing is just a ploy it will not lower gas prices it will only make the oil companies alot of money. dont be sheep dont follow. lead and stand up for teh working class and the poor. vote all democrat if you care for america if you dont care for america vote republican.

Guys, the fact is tax-cuts will increase deficit and dollar value will decrease significantly. Note India increased tax in their budget, and that is the reason their economy is very strong, so does China. Bush Tax cut policy lead to this economic diaster.
McCain wants to follow the same tax cut policy. While McCain want their men and women in Uniform to do ultimate sacrifice of giving life, he is not willing for big oil companies to give a meagre increase of taxes. Tax-cut is a very dangerous thing, but very tempting for people to fall into this populistic appeal. If Americans use their minimum 101 Economics, they will find Obama alone has sound economic policy. If you still don't believe, please consult the biggest CEOs personally without a TV interview.

It would be nice if SOMEBODY could say specifically how McCain's economic policy would differ from that of George W. Bush. We have had eight years of Bush/Republican economic policies and can see the results.

When Bush took office, he inherited a huge surplus from Clinton. We are now have a trillion dollar deficit. I can remember when Republicans were fiscally conservative. That is no longer the case.

What--EXACTLY--would McCain do to put the nation and its citizens back in the black?

For these past 8 years the Republican Bush administration every single December blamed the failing economy on the consumer lowering their spending during the holliday season. Yet the Republicans would pat themselves on the back every late spring and early summer with claims that the country will do better due to their bolstering of the economy. Yet it was the same every single year with the rollercoaster economy. In September 2007 Republican Feds had messed with the interest rate making things worse. By February 2008 Republican Feds helped cause such a flux in the economy that they had to mess with the interest rate yet again. And the Republicans did it a few more times. Each time the Republican Feds just dug the hole deeper. One year after September 2007 when they first "MESSED WITH THE INTEREST RATE", the Republican Feds dug the hole so deep for the USA economy it is hard to see that small dimming light up above.

Hey tom, do you also believe Harry Potter is a real person. You seem to live in a fantasy world. What NoBama proposes is one step away from socialism, wake up, "THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH" You claim to be a member of the working class like I am, well tom, the more I worked the more I got and you can't have any of mine, just because fantasy man say's you can!!

Perhaps Democratic Representatives Charlie Rangel and Nancy Pelosi have advice for us. Rep. Rangel got an interest-free $75,000 loan from a developer on his home in the Dominican Republic. Rangel, chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee - which writes the tax laws, failed pay taxes on the gift and failed to disclose it. Democractic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says he should still remain chair of the House Ways & Means Committee in spite of this corruption or incompetence (you make the call). For details, go here:

This crisis is during the Republican Big Plan for America and McCain wants the same as Bush (as he's stated) so what the heck is he going to do to make it better? Not a darn thing, he has no plan and people will be starving and the rich will be hiring slaves that are the product of the past Republican fiasco. NO MCCAIN, we have to change things with Obama and a Democratic Congress so we can get back to reality instead of this Bush nightmare.

bombem---keep up with the lies you learn from rush limburger.. guess what capitalism is broken and corupt and so greedy that it has failed and until we clean out all the rich republicans that have did thsi to our once great nation we need a little socialism to get us thru this rough time.i work a full time job 40 hours a week one part time job 15 hours a week and one part time job 10 hours a week, and i can hardly pay my bills were as ten years ago under clinton i only had my full time job and i lived good. that is what you get under a republican bad economy and bad ideas.

bombem---also every year my health insurance goes up 20% and covers 15% less. there is 47,000,000 with out insurance. my brother-in-law works for the loacl hospital they write off 15,000,000 a year on taxes for non-payments from people with no insurance. taht is one small hospital so guess what you are already paying for everybody else that doesnt have insurance i would rather pay it up front then let these rich hospitals control what they write off.

Crash Baby Crash....Burn Baby Burn !

The money changers are having a bad day ? That breaks my heart. LOL
