Clinton introduced us to NAFTA, or “why are all the Mexicans coming here when all of our jobs went over there?”, and a big issue of the primary season was the fact that an Obama rep supposedly went to Canada and told them not to worry about it when he was here saying it would be revisited. Democrats love to raise taxes, and I am a Democrat so I should know, because they love Social programs and it takes money to run them. Biden pushed the new bankruptcy reforms through, so where people used to get into financial problems and file and get rid of the credit cards but keep the house, now they are unable to file and they are losing the house. So, while I think we can all admit Dubya is no rocket scientist when it comes to the economy, let’s give credit where credit is due. He did not get us there by himself.

Sixty years ago, Chinese people wanted “change” and Mao Tze Tung made very good speeches. Mao promised he would take from the rich and give to the poor. The next 30 years when Mao was in power, everyone in China was poor. Millions of poor people died of starvation. This was the price Chinese people paid for “change”.

OBAMA, you dont need to be President to bring change. Learn from Palin. She has brought REAL CHANGE to ALASKA instead of talking about change like you.
Obama, you can go back to the Senate and Illinois, and let us see you bring change there instead ….
That will not work will it, Obama … cause what you want is NOT CHANGE, it is the PRESIDENCY …. So let’s get real here, OBAMA …
LOOK AT PALIN … SHE BRINGS REAL CHANGE WHERE SHE is AND WAS CHOSEN TO BE VP ….
REAL CHANGE FROM REAL, HONEST, HARD-WORKING PEOPLE, OBAMA.
NOT POLITICAL FRAUDS LIKE YOU, OBAMA, WHO TALK CHANGE …. WHERE IS THE BEEF, OBAMA?

AMERICANS ARE AMAZING PEOPLE, WHY CHOOSE THE PRESIDENT USING THE CRITERIA ” I CAN CORRECT THIS, THAT, HERE, THERE,” ETC WHY NOT VOTE FOR THE PARTY THAT DOES NOT GET YOU IN THE MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE. Democrats are less bullies from the way I see it.Look at Maccain he cant wait to start bullying be guaranteed it is war from day one

Here is an email from a fellow veteran officer and a true American patriot (not an armchair general like Bush, Rumsfeld, or Cheney):
“I see how hard it is for my boys to get a job, times are tough. A friend is a realtor and she hasn’t sold anything since October and she use to average one a month. She now has a second job as a waitress at night. This new report that the economy is robust which came out today is full of ####. We have 9% unemployment in my state. In addition, once unemployed workers use up all their unemployed benefits, they are dropped from roles and no longer counted against the unemployed figures – it’s a scam.
Same with the medevacs out of Iraq, they assign the ventilated causalities that arrive in Ramstein Germany to MEDCOM and pull the plug and they are no longer a causality of war. – Another scam. That is why the administration does not let the press near Andrews AFB, the American public might find out the truth. When I went to Walter Reed it was a disgrace – dirty, contract doctor’s who did not care if the patient lived or died. No activities for the wounded soldiers (only beer). You would see a young 19-year-old wife pushing her 19-year-old husband in a wheelchair and he would be missing both legs and arms. Most wives had no place to stay so they would sleep in the hospital room chair. In addition, I would eat dinner with the amputees and listen to their stories how Walter Reed wanted to give them a medical discharge and report to a VA hospital before they even recovered – I told them to stay on active duty as long as they can. Some of them lived 300 miles from the nearest hospital.
It’s funny how all the people who can’t go to war want the war to go on. I never met a soldier in 30-years in the Army who wanted to go to war. Going into Iraq will go down in history as one of the biggest mistakes in history. Not everyone is meant to be a democracy – if the will of the people wanted it – so it shall be.”

Didn’t Pres. Clinton’s administration adopt NAFTA? So why is Bush to blame for companies going over seas and moving to Mexico? In addition, isn’t the congress that makes the laws?

Yes, it could be the economy or even abortion. I will probably vote pro-baby this time as I am on maternity leave now and can’t get fired for a few months.

Here’s a question suggestion: “Do you consider the U.S. to be in a time of war, or not?” (or some variant).
One thing that intrigues me is how there’s this sense that Obama needs to get some credibility on national security. If a purple heart winner couldn’t, he certainly won’t (and definitely not by Veep proxy). As Bill Clinton pointed out, attacks on his experience in this area sound all too familiar. Carville simply ignored national security as irrelevant to the issue concerns of most Americans. The Dems and media pundits say the situation is different now because we are in a time of war. But do we really know if that’s the feeling in the heartland?

The Republicans are going to get killed across the board in November because of their “cut taxes, borrow, and spend” approach to the economy that favors big corporations and fat cats over middle America. A time of reckoning is at hand, and it will be a terrible thing for them to behold.
