Ive been hanging out at GLP (god like productions) for some time and giving my political views. Well I just got banned. Seems as though theirs an evening moderator thats a Republican there.
In a round about way Im going to tell you how a Democrat is needed in Washington.
I have seen a lot of blame for the current economical crisis.
Republicans blaming Carter or Clinton. I have been writing about and warning for years about the current crisis.
But heres the way I see things:
As it started to happen instead of trying to work out a sound solution. Blame became the spotlight. Carter did it with his legislation, hum things were going fine then hows that so?
No, clinton did it with nafta....hum, things were awsome when he was president...hows that so?

Ill tell you how it really happend.

When Bush took office our country had a 400 billion dollar Surplus. Then Bush gave the tax breakto the eleitists and turned it into a 200 billion dollar deficit almost overnight.

He allowed all of his eleitist buddies to offshore the american jobs. I wrote an article about this back in 2002. At the time it was speculated that 14 million jobs were going to be offshored.
Offshoring American money Offshoring American money escalated to 66% since the Bush administration took office. Not only does it hurt America (because the funds arent here) but it allows these people that Bush gave the tax break to (Im sure in hopes they would allow it to trickle down) to earn Billions in interest while paying no taxes.

The next thing he did is to allow unqualified people to make major purchases. Housing, So, this soon unemployed person is allowed to make a major purchase. Knowing that sooner or later they wont have a job due to offshoring.
Then you change the legislation for credit card payback. This new unemployed home owner has to live on something. Change the credit card legislation.
Change the bankrupcy regulations. So, this new unemployed home owner that was surviving on credit cards now has a hard time (if possible) to file for bankrupcy.
The only thing needed is to raise the cost of something that everything in the US needs to survive. Fuel, this puts our country over the edge.

The above is more then enough to devistate our country....but then he did have a lot of help.
Lets look at McCains history a little bit:
He was one of the last in his class at Annapolis MD Naval school. The only thing that kept him afloat was the fact that his father was a retired admiral. He called the commander of the base and (IM sure in very stern words) instructed him to get his son some help. So, his room mate was ordered to pick up the slack for McCain so he graduated 5th from last in his class of 900 people.
It is theorized that he start the fire aboard a ship by stoking his engine in hopes of frightening a friend. This caused the death of 167 crew members.
He is captured during the war and gets the nickname of "Song Bird" by the rest of the inmates. Some of the information he volunteerd to the NV were flight patterns and ship locations causeing 63 jets to be shot down.
In congress he is involved in the largest scandal in Us history. (Keating5)
He also has ties to Ayers of which he is bashing Obama for.
Lets look a little at education if I have space:
Educational Background:

Obama:
Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in
International Relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

University of Delaware - B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science.

vs.

University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism GPA 2.2

More recently, He has been on the running platform of "stay the course", the economy is good. Sure the economy is good for him. Hes gotten hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of tax breaks. But then after much criticism. He changed it to "change in washington". He has slandered and libeled his opponent that is making his previous constituents jump ship. Becuase of his arrogance, lies and innuendos. This is not a professional way to act. Its more like a clown that is desparately wanting to take his position rather then letting democracy reign in the free world.

On his campaign team and used to be chief advisor, with the confirmed appointment of Secretary of the Treasury if McCain is elected is Phil Gramm. Phil Gramm if you didnt know, is the one that got America into the mess it's in. He forced the passing of one bill and one amendment that has destroyed the financial status of America.
They both were done with little regard for standard procedure. The first was done by drawing up and 11000 page document and waiting. With hours left before congresses Christmas break. He introduced it and demanded a vote. First hardly anyone was there to contest it. Secondly, No one could read an 11000 page document and comprehend its true meaning. So, they went by Phil Gramms word.
The legislation that was passed is what created the loophole for Enron to do there dirty work. Ultimately, devistating American and international investors, Taxpayers and the employees. As a show of good faith, his wife was given an executive position with Enron which earned her 1.8 million dollars.
The second was an ammendment to a bill that was introduced. This allowed these big bankers to rape and pillage the American home owner. It allowed people like Rolland Arnold to do what he did with Ameriquest:

Several years ago there was a fellow Roland Arnall, He owned Ameriquest Mortgage company. His company was the scum of the mortgage world. They originated hundreds of thousands of loans that utimately resulted in catostrophic financial situations for there clients, at a minimum they lost there homes. They were caught and shut down t'wards the end of the refinance boom (good timing hu?).
There was an investigation. Knowing there was no way out of it (because of the flagrant disregard to the law), he turned to his buddy George Bush. They had a meeting the morning of the court hearing. The owner of Ameriquest agreed to a 320 million dollar fine (the largest in history at the time). In doing so, George Bush made him the ambassador to the Netherlands.

Now let me break this down for you:

Rolands company originated hundreds of thousands of loans with the use of fraud (this doesnt mean a selected few), this was the start of the record foreclosures. One offense like this could get any mortgage broker 10 years in prison.
I did the math for my state alone. Now keep in mind this is only the people that filed a complaint against the company. That meant out of the 320 million for the people (in the state of michigan) that filed a complaint against the company, they recieved 600.00.
Now the afternoon after the announcement of his appointment as ambassador to the Netherlands. He was questioned by a reporter about the big fine his company recieved. Roland laughed. The reason is because he made 70 million dollars a month net with his company.

Then you have the dozen or so other lobbiests on his campaign team. Something which should be outlawed and has been put before congress in the past.

You also have to realize the fact that hes WAY past his prime. Hes borderlining dementia, he looks as though hes suffering from a stroke.

I just dont see it. Im sorry to inform you but the Republicans your mommy and Daddy were so fond of havent been in office for years.
The Neocons in office now are for the eilietists that would never frequent a forum like this.
So that leaves the tax break. I hate to break this to you too. Whoever gets into office has no choice but to raise taxes. I dont care if McCain tells you hes going to eleminate taxes. HEs lieing.
Get smart.

The problem isn't taxes.

It's spending.

I actually do think the Democrat needs elected. Obama's ideas will kill off our economy and his foreign policy inexperience will probably produce some real world dilemmas.

With Nancy Pelosi as House Speaker, the House's Democratic Majority, as well as a Democratic President, we'll have nobody to blame BUT the Democrats after Obama's single term as the next generation's "Jimmy Carter".

This will possibly open the door to another 4 terms of Republicans in control again.

Did anyone make the connection yet? Since the Democrats won majorities in the House in 2004, everything's gone to hell (except the Iraqi surge of course!)

Of course, this is just my "opinion".

why a third party is needed in office.There is but one party we get to see with the media slant,the corporate party.They let us see the two factions of the corporate party,democrats and republicans.Neither cares about the people.
Neither cares about the constitution.Both of them continually vote against the peoples wishes.The only way the people will straighten this country out is by getting rid of them both.Get them all out of our government is the way to return america to her former glory.You wouldn't build your house on a faulty foundation.Why do you let these people tear up the foundation of this country?
Why do you ignore it when these people vote in opposition to the people?Look at who backs these people,it's the same names.Goldman Sachs,Morgan Stanley
JP Morgan.When are you people ever going to wakeup?

Pray tell what single idea of Obama's has the potential to "kill off our economy". Also please comment how Obama's popularity and credibility abroad is worse than what McCain/Palin have to offer. McCain doesn't want to talk to Spain, and Palin can't explain what magazines she reads for her news sources.

Not a problem, I'll give you three. As I've explained in another thread -

1. Obama's tax policy will do great harm to the economy. Extra taxes on the job creating class means the buck gets passed down to the middle class. That's common sense. Force the grocery store owner to pay extra taxes and he increases the prices of his groceries to pay for that tax hike. It's the way of business.

2. Nationalizing health care - paid for how exactly? Yep, through middle class tax hikes that will come later. Remember how Clinton later imposed taxes on everyone making over $30,000 after he was elected, even though he also said he would only tax the rich? The same will happen.

3. Extra tax on companies who offshore jobs - while I hate it that companies offshore jobs, I do understand that this is now a global economy. Add extra costs to those companies and they aren't going to stop offshoring (because that's where the big savings are right now), they are going to CUT MORE American jobs and send those jobs overseas. Since Obama's "punishment tax" will most likely be flat and not based on the number of jobs offshored, it won't matter how many more jobs go overseas. That means fewer American jobs, higher unemployment rates and a blow to the economy. If Obama were actually smart, he would "punish" companies who offshored jobs, he would offer large incentives and tax breaks to companies that kept 95-100% of their labor force in U.S. borders.
