It is time we in the north acknowledge that the south was right. We would both be happier without the other. It is time to divide the country right along red state, blue state lines. There may be some question about Colorado, New Mexico and southern California but other than that it is so clear we both hate the other and will both never give in to their perversions.

Here in my local meeting for worship the two Quaker kids who attended the local Quaker school were both expelled. If you look at the history of The Religious Society of Friends you will find plenty of passion. Will the two kids be sober-minded ascetics or passionate? More importantly will Obama be a sober-minded ascetic ruler of the people or a passionate servant of the people?

I would say that under Emanuel the dems have become repubs. They love war, they love bankers, they love domestic spying. Hey, they voted for each of these. The repubs were out repubed by the dems. It is a race to the right. Look for big-O to war with Pakistan, Iran, Syria, and the big one Russia.

Americans (at least the owning class) love war. Get your war on!

There is no plan to deal with the trillion dollar budget deficit, no plan to deal with the trillion dollar trade deficit, no plan to deal with the two trillion dollars owed to social security. It means the federal government is way past broke (huge debt).

To begin to solve this would require two things deep spending cuts and large tax increases. There are only two large spending items in the federal budget war and medical spending. They will both need to be cut but I do not think Obama nor the dems have the strength or courage to do so. So we continue to wait for physical reality to end the illusion.

How much does Hillary spend on clothes per year? With 100 million dollars in the bank I would guess she does not economize.

How will either of them balance the budget? End the trade deficit? Secure social security? create a clean, renewable energy source? They both talked about coal and nuclear in the debates (not clean, not renewable).

To balance the budget spending must be cut 33% or income taxes increases 100%. Which will it be? Or we can do as we are doing now just print more money. The bailout bill moved the debt ceiling to 11.3 trillion dollars. Where will it be next month? Get your wheelbarrows ready you will need it to carry the cash for the weeks groceries.

The federal budget is about 30% war, 30% medical care, 19% pensions for fed employees, 11% interest payments on the debt. This is 90% of the budget. If you want to cut you will have to cut one or all of these. I suggest cutting each of these in half. Yes retired federal employees will have to make due with less. But since IBM cut the pension of all IBM US employees by 100% it seems more than fair.

Let the bankers go bankrupt. Let the sound regional and local banks takeover from the incompetent national and global banks.

"our country's been completely whored out to the highest bidders" that sums it up nicely. The federal government is the enemy.

I am still lost on the whole girl thing. What ever happened to women?

Clark is right. We do not want a loser as president. Clearly McCain is an incompetent pilot which is just one more example of his loser status. I do not give a darn if he was in a prison camp. In fact it would make me ask is he insane from his prison experience? I think the answer is yes.

If you vote for them then you approve of what they do. Then you are the enemy of the Constitution, the People, the Truth.

And I have to pay for them through medicaid, food stamps, section 8 housing, etc. Let's abolish all these welfare programs and let the girls pay for their own children.

Killing 4000 America service persons by fraud is not the same as lying under oath about fucking the intern. Killing 1,000,000 innocent Iraqis by Fraud is not the same as embarrassing 200,000,000 Americans. The time for impeachment is gone now it is time for the treason trail.

Jimmy Carter is the best president in my life time. I was born in 1958. I would love to see Carter re-elected. Unfortunately Obama is no Carter. Obama is driven solely by his lust for power he has no moral compass.

When a business is in decline you milk the profit. You do not re-invest. It is the same way for the federal reserve bank and the U.S.

@AVEUTTER

You will see contributions over the $2300 from aggregators like Emily's List (the radical abortionist pro-partial birth abortion (requires that pols who get their money commit to it)). They claim it is from multiple donors who are all under the $2300 limit of course they could then go and contribute again with another aggregator.

Also it is $2300 for the general and $2300 for the primary and the same for spouses. And of course if you want to contribute to all 536 federal candidates you are free to do so that totals up to 4.9 million per year you and your spouse can directly contribute and of course you can give unlimited to PACs.

manufacturing sent to China

oil half gone, demand above supply

natural gas production still rising but too far away from US

many millions of educated people being graduated elsewhere

massive debt at all levels of society

demographic aging

social security and medicare based on paper IOUs from Uncle Sam

No, no, no, none of these could be a reason a small correction in stock values.

O-bomb-a wants to war in Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan not the worker of light I was hoping for. I am writing in Ron Paul. I am a member of a religious society that believes "peace is the way".
