Bucco....look at my posts..I have always maintained that there was enough blame to go around for this economic crisis. That being said I never believed in Trickle Down economics....Now I will NEVER vote for anyone whose policies involve Free markets, deregulation and tax cuts for the rich. The middle class was abandoned during the last 8 years.
But that being said I, and the country, don't need the 2nd coming of Bush. To me that is what McCain represents. Just look at McCain's treatment of Obama at the debates. In the first one he wouldn't look at him. In the second he called him "That One". And there was his champaign trying to tie Obama to terrorism...so much so that people at his crowds shouted out "Kill Him"
I can't abide but that kind of campaigning....all you had to do was look at those crowds...it was scary. It got so bad McCain had to dial them back and got booed for it. If you whip people up it is hard to put the Genie back into the bottle.
You know that I am a Hillary girl...Obama is not my guy. My mail in ballot is on the dining room table. It has always been my intent to leave the President vote blank. But with the turn in the campaign I am no longer sure that is what I should do.
In 2000 I had great respect for John McCain...where did he go? This guy is a far cry from the 2000 John McCain.
This McCain I cannot vote for......

1. Mr Raines himself is the source of advising the Obama campaign. During an interview with the Washington Post and a photo shoot, he told a reporter that...this is an bit of that...
""In the four years since he stepped down as Fannie Mae's chief executive under the shadow of a $6.3 billion accounting scandal, Franklin D. Raines has been quietly constructing a new life for himself," Ms. Huslin's story began. "He has shaved eight points off his golf handicap, taken a corner office in Steve Case's D.C. conglomeration of finance, entertainment and health care companies and, more recently, taken calls from Barack Obama's presidential campaign seeking his advice on mortgage and housing matters."
Now, of course both Obama and Raines will deny this, but whatever you want to believe is fine. I know for a fact that Sen McCain and a few others wrote TWO years ago warning congress about this situation...Sen Obama did not join in the letter. You make your own decision 1 NOTHING has been proven on either side thus your statement..."that claim has been proven to be false but the Republicans keep repeating it. " is simply not true.
2. Your second paragraph about the "2nd coming of Bush" is simply what Sen Obama has been telling you. Check the record on the men....OOPS, there is NO record for Sen Obama....listen, to vote for a radical JUST FOR CHANGE makes no logical sense to me at all. Actions at the debate made no influence on me. I listen to them and they both said NOTHING.....my decision is not made on body language on something this important.
3. As far as the crowds are concerned, as I said I do not know why Sen McCain is not being complimented but I suppose that mentality does not exist. The crowds were getting out of control I suppose with shouts...Sen Obama always has such well behave folks...anyway, Sen McCain wanted to temper the crowd so he tells them not to fear Sen Obama and guess what..he gets criticized for that..amazing. Sen Obama IS VERY SCARY, but nobody that I am aware of has ATTACKED HIM PERSONALLY OR HIS FAMILY IN ANY WAY....they are attacking his idealogy which is radical and of course in return are called either racist of hate mongers. Of course, it is ok to attack every single member of Gov Palin's family....Sen McCains wife, etc..that is fine. Go figure but nobody has attacked Sen Obama on a personal level to my knowledge...HIS IDEALOGY yes !
4. The turn in the campaign is too late and too soft. Sen Clinton should have attacked this area during the primary harder. She did but she and President Clinton were called all kinds of vile things because of it.
Sen McCains talks only about Sen Obama and his radical ideaology WHICH IS TOTALLY TRUE (see Ayers, Wright, and all) and he is called a hate monger and negative. So, in my opinion this should have been at the forefront of the campaign early on and should have been much more accented but our great media would have done worse to Sen McCain that what they are doing.
I am not sure why you dont think Sen Obama's idealogy and associates that give credence to that radical thiinking is not important and if brought up is negative. That to me, makes no sense at all.
