I'm totally unsatisfied with the last 8 years of Republican rule. For Bush's first term, the Republicans had majorities in both houses of congress as well as controlling the white house. Under the Republicans, we got the largest national debt, the Clinton surplusses turned into the largest deficits, we got into a totally unnecssary and hugely expensive quagmire in Iraq, the financial house of cards collapsed, all the tax cuts went to the rich, the number of uninsured is up, the number of unemployed is up. The John McCain of 2000 was pretty sharp, but the dottering old man of 2008 just doesn't have it any more. And as much as I find Sarah a breath of fresh air with a smart mouth and a nice figure, she just isn't presidential timber (at least not this year). Gotta vote Obama.

Y'all oughta read the 2nd amendment. Most people get it backwards. It allows people to own arms so that they can serve in the militia (i.e. the national guard). It doesn't mean individuals can own handguns or shotguns or deer guns. It does mean they are allowed to own assualt rifles and 50 caliber machine guns and bazookas.

I haven't heard any reporter as, and have heard no Repbulican answer, "Why is McCain falling behind in the various polls?"

Do the Republicans think voters are stupid? No that's not right, they say it's the Democrats who are elitist. Do the Republicans think they are just screw ups at marketing their own message? No, that's not right, they would never admit they are incompetent at marketing a superior message. Perhaps it's that either the message and/or the messengers are inferior to the competition. The latest claim from Palin (and Bachmann and Hayes): The Democrats, and anyone else who votes for Democrats, are not real Americans, they are Anti-Americans. Well, count me in.

Palin does deliver a prepared speech OK. She does her lines almost as well as Tina Fey. But when she's unscripted (like when asked what newspapers she reads, or what the Vice President's role is, or what "pre-conditions means"), she doesn't have a clue and rather than admit it, just makes something up. Who wants that one heartbeat away?

For Thumbkin: You said "my lender was able to get me the loan, only later to find out that he lied about my income. I feel like the lenders are partially responsible for this situation. In my case, I should not been given the loan according to the income I provided, but my lender was considerate enough to fix that without my knowledge, nice." Your lender committed fraud. Send your story to the local district attorney. Your lender should go to jail.
