McCain or Obama? I’m torn. The last eight years have been tumultuous, to say the least, and I have seen enough fear mongering to last a lifetime. Still, I want to hear McCain and Obama tonight. Perhaps this won’t be as boring as the last two debates. Perhaps McCain will actually talk about issues, perhaps Obama will say something awful and ruin my confidence in him. Trust is the problem. I trust Obama and McCain both as men, but men are human. I think they’re decent men, but I don’t really “trust” either of them. Perhaps it’s the cynic in me, or maybe the genius! LOL Okay… what I’m saying is that I feel they both missed their big chance to prove to us that they are Mavericks for Change!
Everywhere I looked, people were saying “no” to the bailout, all the while Obama and McCain were holding hands and skipping along with Bush toward the treasury to print up some fresh cash. Enough dollars to go around the equator 2,924 times, when laid end to end. This whole thing reeks of a conspiracy to gain political power. But I digress. (I always wanted to say that)
There seemed to be a conspiracy in the stock market. The day the deal is dropped, stocks take a nosedive but somehow quickly come back up. A lot of people bought low and sold high. And, somewhere in this “matrix” electronic world of money, some folks sent America a message. They told us what they would do if they didn’t get their way. They scared people into doing their bidding.
Back to the campaign... Two parties were negotiating their way through a maze of subtleties, trying to pass a bill while winning the next election. Watch out for little children. They have been armed with wooden arrows. The pigs are running the farm, the pork is flying. Why did people say “no” to a bailout one day, then ball up like schoolyard sissies for Puerto Rican rum the next? Why did the President, the Senate, and The House, all go against us? Is there anyone on our side?
I have already decided to vote NO to those that voted YES on the bailout, but it seems the only viable candidates have both done just that. So I am selling my soul and picking one of them. I’m only human. I will be watching the debate tonight with a critical eye on both candidates. That’s all I have to say about that.
How important is this debate to you?
How important is this election to you?
Do you really trust either of these men or their VP picks?
How will their vote on the bailout affect your vote?

I like sharing ideas and ideals in an open forum. I may not like what you have to say but you can still say it here. I try to be fair. I'll often admit that the positions I support have flaws. I detest bloggers who always base their opinions on their political party's rhetoric and never have an original thought. I am neither a Republican or a Democrat. I vote for whoever I think will do the best job of running things. I may be wrong but at least I think with my own brain. I think Rush Limbaugh is the biggest and most dishonest jerk that ever lived. John "New Orleans Deserved It" Hagee is somewhere right alongside him. If you like Limbaugh or Hagee then you're ignorant and you suck. Whatever you think, join the blog! Come and debate! Let the politicians know what the public really thinks on an open forum like mine where free speech cannot be denied!
