Just a test, let me take a look and see who are the economic committees charis that related to financial dealings of congress and where policy, oversight and governance is coming from. 

House Committee

Financial Services Committee- Barney Frank (D)

Joint Economic Committee - Charles Shumer (Chair) (D) Carolyn Maloney (Vice Chair) (D)

Nice bit of partisanship when on government websites we have "Bush Watch" on the house committee website http://globalwarming.house.gov/ and a nice little slide show about economic data points during the bush administration on the house Budget Site http://budget.house.gov/.  And we are expecting these people to work on the behalf of ALL the people regardless of party?

So in short, there are your names and direction the finger needs to point at and American voted even more Republicans out of the senate and the house because we are the ones spending money uncontrollably?  If the Democratic chairs can not manage all these rogue pseudo conservatives how can they control their own party that is famous for government waist?  Bush was not the best president but we pulled out of major economic downturns after 9/11 only to collapse 2 years after dems took over congress.  There is a connection and once everyone looks past what the media is feeding them they will understand who where the architects of this disaster

If I was lucky enough to have my own radio, tv show I would be shouting this on the roof tops.  I would make a stinking 2 hour 20/20 special on this fact. I hear the names but I just do not see anyone continuously connecting these worthless Washington frauds until people realize this fact. Republicans have to sleep in the bed that we made but even if we do get our own house in order it will not stop the Democrats from throwing trash in our yard. We have to blitz the media now over the next few months to lay the blame where it belongs and it clearly belongs with the liberals chairing all these failed committees.  We know the names, I want to show the faces, the proof and define their failures before Obama comes into office.  If their backsides are feeling the heat from day one, it might, just might curb their appitite of destruction of democracy as we know it. That way we can keep their damage to a minimum so we can at least regain a few more seats in 2010.  The only thing keeping this country from complete armagedon is a balanced government at this point.  We have until January to make that point since John McCain failed to do so in his 2 year bid for the white house. I hate to say it but John McCain was part of the problem and we the people have to be the solution like we always wind up being.

 

No matter the outcome of this election everyone from both sides has to realize there is another view of what is right.  If McCain wins that does not mean the other 50% of the population loses out for 4 years and I truly believe that would not be the case.  However, with an Obama Liberal administration and Liberal Congress it WILL be a complete disregard of what Conservatives values

The main pillar of this nation is freedom and it comes with a great deal of sacrifice to maintain.  I personally feel freedom is in jeopardy if Obama elected but for some reason there are others who do not believe that the foundation of America is as important as a popularity contest.  It just kills me how we can look past the constant contradictions of Obama and Biden, the countless relationships with turbulent people and the word socialism bantered around but those who do not like McCain "just because" do not bat an eye when Socialism keeps poking it's foot in the door. 

Yeah things look bleak here in America "Compared to American Standards.  But our impoverished get fed, gets cloths put on their back and a roof to sleep in (if they chose to take it).  I have lost 2 jobs over the course of 6 years.  I was working for an E-Commerce company that was bought out and moved leaving me looking for a new job during the Christmas holidays, in a city I have only lived in for 6 months hundreds of miles away from where I have spent most of my life.  A few long months later I found a new job as a contractor for a healthcare company.  Well 3 years later the company went through a corporate restructure and did not renew their contractor base.  So once again, I am looking for a job, DURING CHRISTMAS along with hundreds of other IT guys. 

During my job hunt I found some subcontract work and made the bills as I was in limbo.  I was lucky enough to find a great job with a great company and work every day to keep a roof over my family's head, food on the table, cloths in the closet and love in our lives.  The moral of the story is, life is hard.  Things get thrown at you in many different directions and it is up to you to fight through it.  I can not count how many times I felt helpless during these times of uncertainty but the one thing I always believed in is that nothing comes to me while I am sitting idle feeling sorry for myself.  It is ok to question why things happen but it is totally selfish to believe bad things only happen to you.     

Long story short, it is up to the American people to take the lead and ask the Government to empower us, not entitle. 

Forget everything else in the election for one moment and take a look at this.  Obama has raised a staggering record for his compaign yet has not blowm McCain out of the water which is what you assumed would happen.  So just think about this, Obama is using his money and big wigs to win this election on perception, not substance.  For someonew who is for the little guy I wonder how he recieved all this money? 

 

This is just a sign of things to come with this administration.  Gather all the cash, spend at will for their desires.  Their uncontrollable spending for propaganda is just a sign ladies and gentlement and it will be 4 years of this at the very least of this unless you vote for McCain.

This is why I am scared of the Obama plan.  Obama is trying to vilify the people that make lots of money (who actually employee folks like me).  Not every rich person is a greedy SOB and not every poor person is a victim.  Politicians are pinning class against each other (which many the Democrats are the only one doing this).  In the end, we are all Americans but it is the view of what being American means.  To me being American means that I am free to succeed and my moral make up drives me to help others.  It seems to me that a socialist driven Obama ticket will force the top 5-10% of the wage earners in America to subsidies a way of life for 40% of the non tax paying public.  To me, this is a choice you make, if you chose that making money and living in a mansion is not important then that is 100% fine.  But having an on and off job, living in public housing, not having health insurance for  your family yet driving around in a escalade is poor judgment.  Irresponsibly transcends all race and classes but it seems as though it is becoming more acceptable to forgo your responsibilities as an American because this mentality is becoming a larger voting block and politicians are taking advantage of it.

 

All I can say is no mater who wins, there will be a large popilation of Americans that still deserve representation. No mater of who win, there are valid views and concerns but there has to be a justified understanding how a new direction may cause others more issues than not.  And when I say justified I mean that if a group of people are affected but for the betterment of the nation as a whole, I want to know what the definition of "betterment" is.  Right now Obama is favoring a tax plan that will give people who do not pay taxes at the end of the year a tax credit.  I pay thousands of dollars a year in income tax and thousands of dollars a year in sales tax.  I want to pay my share but not at the entitlement of others.
