Answering A Question Palin Couldn't

So CBS News decided to look at just how Senator McCain voted on legislation effecting the banking and financial services industries. Turns out, this year, he barely voted.
According to data from Congressional Quarterly, there were a total of thirty-two such votes this year. Senator McCain missed all but one of those votes. The one he voted on was back in April, supporting a motion to limit debate on a bill that among other things, would give tax breaks to those buying foreclosed homes.
Turns out Senator Barack Obama didn't do much better. He missed twenty-eight of the thirty-two votes.
New Home Loans on newly constructed homes at 4% FHA, 4.5 % in the private sector. Homes for resale 5.5% When new homes are built entire towns emerge creating thousands of jobs. Any plan without these components will fail. Foreclosures will continue Then comes the next bailout and the next and the next and the next. Where does it end? Must our economy and our country completely collapse? Investigate, prosecute and seize the assists of the guilty CEO%u2019s to pay us back. Ten years Jail or work free for five years to fix this. MA
Respond to your comment, "They are not going to care about sexism of hurt feelings. Let her take the punches"
As far as taking the punches, Palin will do the same things she did with the punches when she was running for mayor, and on her way to the governor of a state. Let''s try to trust our fellow americans in Alaska that put her in office with the higest approval ratings than any other governor in the U.S.
Who''s mentioned anything about hurt feelings? If the MC campain would let Palin be herself, she would have chewed Katie up and spit her out, she is one tough women. Palin didn''t get to where she is on "feelings". The truth is Katie was trying so hard to one up on her she made herself lose respect by viewers, which by the way are mostly women. All she''s done is help herself put one more foot out the door, from a network that''s regreted giving her the job she has. Stop making this about feelings and stick to the facts. Palin as most smart women, know how to get all information needed at any given moment, and use the information for the people. It''s a matter of record even if small, it''s better than no record. Pres. Bill Clinton was a governor from a one to the smallest states in our union and he had a great 8yrs mistakes and all. Any media that shows bias will not be allowed in my home. Sorry Katie, your out.
I fully support our candidates, however there is nothing wrong with being realistic. I am still going to vote for the republican ticket even though Governor Palin is not very familiar with questions on the economy or foreign affairs. We need to encourage her to seek assistance rather than blame Kathie. What will happen when she meets world leaders and their staff? They are not going to care about sexism of hurt feelings. Let her take the punches. This will only help her get stronger. Remember--your voting to place her in charge of the security of your children. Don''t you want her to improve?

"belabor" When I hear the same question asked of all candidates. I might consider this non bias reporting. Disapointed in Katies approach to "one up someone". I despise this tatic by anyone. As an undecided voter. Questions on Palin''s views, what she stood for instead of focusing on tripping her up.
As a result of this one interview, I can no longer trust Katie anymore, During the interview with Palin, the most important issue was the lack of women to women support, it was anything short of being fair, compared to her other canadiates interviews. Which I''ve read all transcripts of each. If this were a race? Oh, it is, for ratings. Katie wins! Even though she might of won the battle, and now that it''s over, yesterdays news. She will lose the war. From someone whom has always been a big fan of admiration to break in to a forum where men have always ruled, as a women cheering another women on. Katie you have let your true supportes, (women) down. It appears you''ve lost yourself trying to fit in as a man when your not one. I''m sorry to say, as one of the people who were on your rating list, now is one short. I''m not watching Katie anymore. Plus, in general when our women going to wise up, be what we should be, strong supporters of all women even if we can agree to disagree on issues. Men love watching women tear each other up. It impowers them keeping women out of powerful positions. Wise up women lets pull together in this male dominate world.
