“I do not believe that McCain/Palin will win. I actually look forward to four years of Democratic govern.

I think the Obama/Reid/Pilosi team will further the collapse of this great nation by even more tax and spend policies and over reaching entitlement programs.

The Dem’s will have their chance at “change” and will have no one to blame but themselves when they fail. They will try to blame others but they will have to suck on their failure.

“The Repubs had their chance and blew it. The nation is (stupidly) willing to give the Dems another chance.

I personally believe they will screw things up royally and maybe then the people will wake the eff up and realize that the Dems and Repubs have each ruined this great nation.

This country needs a revolution…within the boundaries of our constitution, of course.”

Just wanted to say, dam, Splork – your good. I could not have said it better myself. I would not even try.

The above post, without a doubt, puts an exclamation point on our future state of our governmental affairs.

I, too, do not think that McCain will make it. I want to see how the agent of change, the messiah of motivation, the pontificator of peace, will lead this country toward his vision of the promised land.

After all, he is the one we have been waiting for.
Today (Sept 17 08) Congress passed an offshore drilling bill. But, if truth be told, part of the bill will allow exploration 50 miles away from where the oil or natural gas is.

So, you can drill offshore, just not where the resources are. This bill is just designed to show the general public that democrats passed a bill, and Republicans rejected it. Once again, political power.

And, even if the Senate were to give it it’s blessing – it is then up to the states that have the oil and gas whether or not they want to drill. If the state is predominantly liberal, forget it.

And, if by devine interventions, states did take a bold step and allow drilling where the oil or gas is, they won’t share in the revenue. The Feds will get it.

Throw in the hard core “Enviro’s” and you won’t get anymore refineries.

Ah yes, the change, I have been waiting for..

Interesting times – indeed..

Robert..

I have never seen any VP candidate receive the scorched earth treatment she has. I guess you are not a feminist if you are pro-life, pro-gun, or pro-family.

If Barry is elected, he will have the wind at his back in terms of the Congress. Forget about divided government, at least for his first term. Socialism in the form of wealth distribution is all but on it’s way.

I love the tag line for the Obama campaign that 95% of the people in the US will get a tax cut, and only those making 250,000 will get their taxes raised.

That is horse hockey. It won’t even begin to cover the billions of new spending he is proposing for his “goody bag” political promises.

There are not enough people in the so-called “rich” bracket to pay for it all. He will have to raise taxes on everyone – eventually.

I never understand taxing small businesses, corporations, or anyone who has means. Sorry, but don’t the rich create jobs? And what about incentives?

What happens if you want to be rich, knowing that Barry’s Raiders will have their hand out for over 50 percent of your money? Good buy to investment and job creation.

I am poor, so it is not my ox being gored. But, I still don’t want anyone to pay more then the current rate.

It should be lower still. The government wastes 50 cents of every dollar. Until they act responsibly, then they should ask us to sacrifice.

In the scheme of things, it will be business as usual in Washington. As you mentioned, promises will be made, and then broken.

This is a time in history were we need the 21st century equivalent of Washington type leadership, and an Edison type mind to (while we are drilling for oil) to find, marketable, realistic, alternative energy sources.

Unfortunately, no one like that is too be found in Washington.

To quote from the movie Tombstone, “I’m not gonna fight you, Ringo. There’s no money in it.” There are plenty of other people out there who’ll say “I’m your huckleberry. That’s just my game.”

This is a quote from a random lady in the news:

“She’s the draw for a lot of people,” said Marilyn Ryman, who came to see her at the Colorado rally inside an airport hangar. “The fact that she’s someone new, not the old everything we’ve seen before.”

That should be scaring the shit out of Dems. Obama screwed up big time as he chose an insider who has hung around the Beltway for thirty years. If he wanted change he should have had the balls to go after it. As it is he is showing that he is just the same ol same ol politician with the same ol Democratic platform. Looks like the Repubs have tilted the change mantra to their side.

This is getting good.

Glass-Steagall was repealed in 1999, under Bill Clinton and his SecTreas, Bobby Rubin. The full name of the act is Gramm-Leach-Bliley.

Rubin left to “help” Citi and Gramm is now at a Swiss Bank. Payoff? Oh, heavens no!

Rubin has collected $150,000,000 so far, and Citi is on the ropes due to the sub-prime and mortgage derivative mess, which he didn’t see coming.

You make some good points. Let’s see what happens and hope the people prosper, probably in spite of our leadership.
