Palin's tenure as Mayor/Governor

[Shattered]

Shattered, let me explain a simple concept to you.

Back in 2001 and before that, several families in the middle class bought houses for say 10.

At one point, those houses were worth 20+. (So their value doubled.)

Now however, most of those houses are worth 7 and below.

Meanwhile, the cost of living has raised from say 10 to 15. But the average worker's salary has went from 12 to maybe 13 at the most.

People can't keep up with the cost of living because everything is getting more expensive.

The people who are losing their homes now didn't buy houses they couldn't afford. They could afford them, but this current economy changed that.

Could afford them THEN at their present rate of pay only, or CAN AFFORD THEM, worst case scenario?

I haven't had a problem, nor has MY house been repo'd.. Simply because I didn't go with what the banks said I could afford. I went with what I know.

I'm starting to think you lied, when you said you wanted Hillary Clinton to be president.

If he did say that, I'd think he lied too.

Jsanders says he didn't vote for Bush (which I can believe), and that's he an independent but his words here seem to say otherwise that's he an true independent.

One's opinion sounds alot less biased if they claim to be an true independent supporting a Republican then a Republican supporting a Republican.

Dont know enough about Palin to pass any sort of judgement??, in fact i didnt even know she existed until recently, when she was picked to run as McCains Vice President???If memory serves me, Palin didnt ask to run, she was drafted or petitioned by McCain?????????????????

Well do you disagree with me with how much the cost of living has risen, and everything else I said when it comes to our current economy?

That's good if you didn't go with the banks that said you could afford.

However, plenty of people did both. Some went with what they could afford and others went with what they know.

However, a crumbling economy, rising cost of living, etc changes what one knows pretty quickly.

Is it possible that neither candidates(Obama or McCain) will get the White House??? read this link, news.newsmax.com/?ZKOD.1djXs-hohA9CKYfwjRZ6QbfxJRAZ second paragragh down titled, 2. Electoral College Tie Could Put Pelosi in White House. You think that Obamas socialist debacle would wreck havoc and finish off America lol better read the link??? Oh and i dont think McCains ideas are any better than Obamas, in light of his recent change in politics the last couple of years preparing for his run for President, so i have no dog in either fight here????? However this Nancy Pelosi would utterly ruin an already down hill spiral in the USA in every facet, form, and or otherwise fashion mark it down...

When did I say that, please show me that one?

Ohh so your ignoring all my points and just parroting the same thing. I see now.

Democrats barely have a lead in congress. They don't control it until perhaps this November.

Junior you do realize that Congress, contains both the House of Representatives and the Senate?

Hence why offshore drilling has been blocked by an ultra-liberal enviromentalist in the House, Nazi Pelosi.

Who is blocking fuel efficiency requirements for cars?

Who is blocking fuel efficiency requirements for cars?

Nobody, Democrats control Congress. Also, what was it a couple of posts ago you were talking about the Big Three on the verge of going bankrupt, now you are going to require them to spend more money to retrofit their cars. I wonder if that will help their bottom line?

Why I'm choosing Barack Obama and Joe Biden:

1.) Barack Obama believes that felons who have completed their jail time and probation and paid all their fines should be allowed once again to vote in elections.

If you have served your time, then you should get your right to vote back.

2.) Barack Obama believes in the Death Penalty should remain option in some cases. Such as mass murder, the rape and murder of a child,etc. (Remember that whole big down in the Big Easy because they wanted child rapists to get the Death Penalty.)

3.) Barack Obama will give first-time, non-violent drug offenders a chance to serve their sentence, where appropriate, in rehab centers and that can handle having such offenders.

Not only will this save billions of dollars on Taxes but it will help our overpopulated Prison System that is working at 19% over capacity.

Did you know Six of ten federal prisoners stand convicted of drug possession or drug use? Oh and 50% of our prison system is just filled with non-violent drug users.

4.) Barack Obama believes that No Child Left Behind has not been effective at improving our public schools. (Being a high school senior who has dealt with No Child Left Behind, I can concur on that.)

He believes the goal of the law was right which I also believe. However it was royally screwed up thanks to inadequate funding, implementation.

5.) Barack Obama believes our sex education in schools should not be Abstinence only. (This one is really self explained.)

6.) Barack Obama believes Global Warming is real and will be fighting towards fixing it. Sarah Palin does not believe Global Warming is a man made problem.

7.) Barack Obama believes in more federal regulations on guns and ammunition are needed.

I will quote him below since he isn't trying to take away anyone's guns.



8.) Barack Obama believes all Americans should have a right to government or employer subsidized basic health care?

We are the richest country in the world supposedly. Lets show it.

9.) Barack Obama believes in building a fence along the US-Mexico border. (I personally think we need it because of Terrorism rather then stop Illegal Immigration.)

10.) Barack Obama believes that it was a mistake to attack Iraq in 2003, John McCain doesn't.

11.) Barack Obama believes that we are not safer because of the War in Iraq.

The remarks below are from a September 12, 2007 article titled "Remarks of Senator Barack Obama: Turning the Page in Iraq"



12.) Barack Obama believes in setting up a timetable for troop withdrawal in Iraq. John McCain does not and thinks by not doing so that we will automatically be out of Iraq by 2013. (Which happens to be right after the nearest election. )

(Note: I'll post more in a second post since this is way too long.)

Thanks again Silence btw for the link the other day.

Is there a report or study that has analyzed Massachusetts universal health care reform? I would think it would be wise to understand the success and failures that have happened on a state level before rolling out a program on a national level.

Would privatizing social security keep the government from borrowing against itself? Does Obama believe that money collected for social security should only be used for social security?

Chopcrazy all 12 of those ideas of Obamas in your quote of Robert_Santurri are nothing more than flatout signs of Obamas far fetched reality. Didnt Obama make a statement to the effect that 90 something % of Americans pay taxes???Think now for a second, think real hard, if the poor cant pay taxes, because their poor(lower and upper poor classes), doh?? and the rich dont pay much because of loophole cutouts(lower and elitely rich classes), that only leaves somewhere in the neighborhood of approx 60% of the American population paying taxes. How long do you think after Obama implements his socailist exective orders and passes laws for government handouts(on top of already failed govenment handouts) that the 60% tax payer base will last??? suppose the middle class says f***k it throws in the towel and quits?? where's that leave our economy not to mention the damage that NAFTAs already encurring upon this tax payer bracket?? Obamas obviously not living in reality and has no excutive experience whatsoever with little congressional experience. Obama's got just enough leadership knowledge to be truely dangerous beforewarned when the Obamacons done with America we'll windup like one of those 3rd world underdeveloped countries probably in a great civil upheaval....................
