Now that we are down to two candidates the media needs to keep the ratings game going and they also have a pit bull in this fight . #1 candidate has a lot of experience in the fields of womanizing , flip flopping , bank robbery (larceny) , crimimal cover up , bribery , professional lying , marriage for convenience , and public deception . Just to name a few . #2 candidate seems to lack a lot of the above experiences but is showing signs of flip flopping , association with controversial pastors , has a wife that REALLY feels like an American , scares the hell out of us because he's not white , and might be a non-christian . The corporate media's problem with #2 is as president he just might change something so they bought new paint brushes and paint to put some disguises on him that the electorate would have doubts about . Joan , I'm being a bit facetious but if we step back from the US media and look back one would wonder what kind of president do we want . As for JJ , "nuts" seems to be where his mind always is . If he has a mind .

How many of our elected law makers own , are invested in , or have an affiliation with energy , health care , and insurance ? How many of them are profiting from high energy prices ?

I'm voting for Joan .

Many years ago some one discovered that the oil from the jojoba bean (Indigenous to America) could lubricate all of our machinery . Including auto engines . A crank case full of this bean oil would mean just change the filter and top off the oil . Production of this bean oil would bring the crude oil prices down to 1930's prices and the speculators would be jumping out the windows . This bean grows well in most of north and south America . The petro and auto companies have designed the auto in a way to make it difficult to burn anything other than gasoline and in doing so have increased the cost of auto production parts greatly . So why fret over fuel , lets start with the other products which require no modifications to the auto .

There are very few of these people the corporate media has placed on our TV screems and on out air waves that have the slightest clue as to what other people think or why . The only way to get some understanding is to live there and speak the language for enough years that you are trusted by them . A visit never gets it . Even if you know the language . So Tom is the smoke and mirror man from corporate media .

The GOP is the political arm of WallStreet but many of the GOP members do not understand this . All laws should be shaped to benefit WS and the main target is SS . More money flows through SS and Medicare than through WS and they have been salivating over getting their hands on it since it's inception . SS is an annuity the same as WS sells so all GOP campaigners are told to get SS out of government hands . Yet since RR they have included SS in the budget to hide the over spending . Which means the GOP and the WS gang are lying about SS's condition . WS does not pay in to SS . THINK about that . Since it's inception not one law has been made to increase SS inflow of cash . Only the reduction of outflow . It's time for WS to pay taxes on their income the same as the rest of us AMERICANS .

Good old Joe should really study Deuteronomy . There are laws there he has over looked .

It is good to go places in this world and not be ashamed of the way our government has treated other people . I have been and lived in many places and never have seen any thing better than people and the more we are liked the better and safer our lives will be . We must always hang on to our beautiful friends over there .

More Joan and hold the McCain .

Well Joan let's see now ; we have a media owned and controlled by the corporations that like Mc . Next the media likes a close race because of ratings . If it is a close race and the corporations own and operate the voting machines results can be adjusted . Next ; who pays for the polling ? The media does the reporting so the media must be requesting the poll results . If the media desires a close race and the poll takers are being paid by the media (poll takers customer) polls could be taken in areas where the results would be pleasing to the customer . Also the questions could be framed in a way to get the desired results . There are probably more varibles that I haven't thought of at this time but as we can see here polling is a business and the customer is always RIGHT . Don't stay away too long , Joan . I'm running short of reading material .
