    Let's get to the real issues!

    I am sick and tired of all the hoopla the Republicans have been spinning- First Dude, Lipstick on Pig, etc. When will Mc Cain and Palin talk about the real issues like healthcare, women's rights(oops, sorry,according to them, women should not even have rights!), our failed economy, the HUGE budget deficit, the "lie to America" war in Iraq, tax cuts for the super rich given under Bush, etc.? Obama has always said he favored CHANGE in Washington and now suddenly, Mc Cain wants America to see him as an agent for change when he agreed with Bush 90% of the time in the past 8 years. Obama has always said that we need to eliminate the tax cuts for the super rich and lower the taxes for 95% of Americans. Mc Cain says he supports a plan to lower taxes for Americans AND keep the tax cuts for the super wealthy. How will he pay for this?- guess maybe he will try to reduce Medicare, Medicaid and/or Social Security - ANYTHING to make sure his RICH friends continue to get their tax breaks. Heck, he is putting our country at risk by naming Palin as his running mate. Chances are, if elected, he will not live out his term of office and she would be President - He'll do ANYTHING to get elected, lie and even sacrifice his country! He has lost his integrity with his lies and we need to do ANYTHING that we can to spread the word about this - ANYTHING that we can to see that Mc Cain and Palin do NOT get into the White House - ANYTHING that we can to see OBAMA/BIDEN get into the White House.

    America is on the brink of disaster - we need a Democrat in the White House and a Majority of Dems in the House and Senate to help us out of this crisis. I am 65 years old and there has not been an election in my lifetime has been so critical to the health and well-being of AMERICA. GO OBAMA/BIDEN!!! NOW IS THE TIME FOR CHANGE AND YES WE CAN!!!!
