These campaigns are ridiculous. I do not want to hear whining about he said, she said. Let’s talk about something that matters. Let’s talk about the economy, and the war and the lack of health insurance for all Americans.
Eight years of Republicans and the economy is in a total mess and we are on the verge of a multibillion dollar bailout for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Tax and Spend Democrats??? In a hundred years Democrats couldn’t come up with enough ‘social welfare programs’ to match the corporate bailouts and corporate welfare, given out by the Republicans. Add to that the cost of war, $6 billion per month. Why don’t we talk about the Spend and Spend Republicans!!!
Look at how much money has gone to a war we had no business starting. And while Cheney’s pals at Halliburton got rich our soldiers in Iraq had their parents sending them body armor because the body armor supplied by the US Army was not sufficient to protect. Shame on you! Then I go to a Memorial Day parade where a retired general asks the public to send donations to our Veteran’s Hospitals because they are underfunded. Shame on you!
The Republicans feel there is too much government oversight into business. Eight years later we have a subprime mortgage crisis of mythic proportions. Giving out mortgages with no down payments, CEO’s approving this risky business practice, then being given Triple A ratings. Where is the oversight?? Oh, that’s right Republicans don’t believe in oversight.
I’m a nurse and I couldn’t believe it when I heard it. Even I know that this is bad business practice.
Well, I don’t have time to talk about the health insurance mess except to say that as a visiting nurse who works in the South Bronx, I assure you that Mr. McCain and Mrs. Palin are not familiar with such poverty and need. But a ‘community worker’ like Barack Obama has been in the trenches and knows these communities and knows these people and will finally give them a voice in the White House. I am filled with HOPE!
