Obama is the most honest politician in a long time

It is enough already. The GOP has nothing to offer the American people so they choose to create controversy by lying. Obama was correct about this deception as an inflation of non-issue. We all know what happens when candidates cannot or will not speak to an issue. The last eight years should be proof enough that the true issues will not go away and will in fact get worse.

Barack is an honest man, dare I say the most honest politician I have seen in a long time. If he is able to address and fix just one of the issues that plague us, my vote will not have been in vain.

I cannot fathom the idea of Sarah Palin having control of our country. Although, she may be one of the few people who could make Bush look good in comparison. So far, more of the same is downright scarey.

We need change, this is a fact that we can all agree on. Do we need to change toward a more free or fascist state? I choose freedom. I choose Obama.

I have spoken to many people about the debate. A few commented on Barack Obama stuttering during the debate, to which I respond:

"So you have never heard McCain speak? He is the biggest stuttering prick in the whole circus. And really, what has McCain ever said that was concrete or valid?"

Are you basing your assertion on your belief that Obama stutters and doesn't give real enough answers?

It's funny how people react to truths, like those Obama has put forth. I know they are hard to swallow, since you have been propagandized to believe that we need less worker rights, more shareholder rights, less education, and more war.

I'm with Obama on this. If we continue to allow deregulation, corporations and banks run amok.

The purpose behind deregulation was to allow the market to grow. What that actually means is to allow corporations to maximize profits in an unrestricted manner. So they will not have to worry about being sued for fraud when they break what used to be the law.

Banks and corporations cannot be trusted with our best interest. Since the current regime is pretty much walking hand in hand with these private tyrannies, they do not represent our best interest either.

It is time for change. McCain will only bring us down further.

From another blog: "Banks can't be trusted, because they got direct access to a money making spigot known as the Federal Reserve System, which means they don't need you.

Corporations can, because if they (*)(*)(*)(*) up they lose your business and lose money.

You forget corporations make profits by selling to consumers, which means they have to make what you want them to make to keep you coming. You have them by the balls.

Dr House"


That sounds great on paper sweetie, but in practice it doesn't work that way. That is why they subsidize the biggest money makers out there (Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, etc) and bailout the big companies that threaten to take down whole industries with them.

Meanwhile, they can use straight propaganda to manipulate what you think you need and want - aka Marketing. The investors control the company so if the shareholders decide that poison should be added to a product, it will be regardless of public safety. And to get FDA approval they merely get a biased think tank to fund a study with the predetermined results...can anyone say cigarettes?

And now class action lawsuits are being thwarted by Supreme Court decisions in favor of the big business because private industry is more important than individual Americans.

Obama has many good plans for America. If he can implement at least one, then my vote will not have been in vain. McCain is way out touch with the poor and working classes.

I find it interesting that McCain attacked Obama during the debate for stating that we need to look at what caused the economic crisis to prevent it from happening...and was on ABC Sunday Morning stating the same damned thing as if it was his idea all along.

McCain will say anything to get your vote. If you listen to the debate and what he is saying, he has told us his true intentions:

* He intends to cut taxes for the wealthy investors and companies (but not for you and I)
* He intends to cut unnecessary spending (does he mean education, SS, Medicaid and Welfare?).
* He stated that he has no intention to end the war in Iraq until there is victory (without really saying what victory is because we can't let our enemies know?).
* He hasn't stated that he will send troops to Afghanistan or catch Osama bin Laden.
* He stated he will bomb Iran.
* He wants to drill in America (so does Palin)
* He wants more nuclear energy, regardless of the hazardous waste.
* He stated nothing about education
* He stated nothing about health care (other than we should not burden businesses with the cost of health care).
* He has fought for decades for deregulation and that is how our economic crisis came to be.
