It looks like McCain may have had a stroke! Droopy left side of his face at his press conference yesterday.

He never did fully release his medical files; it was just a carefully stage managed viewing of thousands of documents by selected media for a very short period of time one day.

McCain does not look well!

If this bill is passed it will be the worse travesty imposed on the American people ever. This will impose, not only a burden on are children and grandchildren.

Just after the September 11th terrorist attacks occurred, George W. Bush went before the nation and made the case that he needed unprecedented authority -- budgetary and military -- to take on the threats poised at the well-being and safety of the country.

Now with the current economic crisis in the United States, Bush is yet again asking for unprecedented powers and budget.

What happened after 9/11?

We saw no-bid contracts given to firms like Halliburton. We saw $9 billion of U.S. taxpayer money "go missing" through the Coalition Provisional Authority. We saw abuses of power, the expansion of secrecy, and the promulgation of norms that seemed to be the very antithesis of what America stands for.

McLame''s "suspended campaign" reminds me of Janet Jackson''s "costume malfunction".

He''s a war hero but afraid to battle Obama? He thinks voters are stupid enough to fall for that obvious political gimmick?

Then too, maybe we are too hard on him. Maybe he does not buy gas, or food, or school clothes, or pay rent or a mortgage note. There may not be one laptop in any of his 7 mansions and all the TV sets may be on the blink. Maybe his memory is shoter than a minute. Maybe his rich wife spends all her time out shopping for $300,000 dresses with her socialite friends and never says a word to him.

Here''s a better one: Maybe he should "suspend" his run for the White House and save us voters the time of going to the polls and electing Sen. Obama as our next leader.

America needs a real leader. Obama is a real leader.

THE REPUBLICAN AGREE ON WELFARE FOR WALL STREET!

[sueann702]

Nowhere in our history have we waged war while at the same time retaining irresponsible tax cuts for the nation''s wealthiest 1%.

George Bush and his cronies have driven the United States into precipitous debt, while the oil companies, the Blackwaters, Halliburtons and KBR''s have looted our nation''s treasury with non-bid contracts.

What is so vulnerable about the "Friedman Doctrine" is the fact that, left to their own mischief, the perpetrators of this economically unsound situation that Bear Stearns finds itself in are now looking to the American taxpayer to bail them out, at tremendous costs, while authors of the scam walk away, with much of their ill-gotten wealth intact.

Friedman and his followers in essence certainly did and do believe in a welfare state. It''s just that they apply it only to the nation''s wealthiest.

Since his ads haven''t stopped in the Philadelphia market, McBush either lied about suspending his ads or his staff wasn''t up to the complex job of pulling the ads. Meither is an attractive portrayal.

In 2005 the Republicans tried to pass legislation to regulate these low income and balloning intrest rate loan. All Democrats voted aganist this and persuaded enough Republicans to vote no, so it did not pass. Check the house voting record on these matters. You think Democrats are concerned about the people more than their bank accounts, WRONG.

[sueann702]

As far as the attack on 9/11. Even if they recieved a warning, I am positively sure it did not say ''''we are going to fly airplanes into the twin towers, the pentagon or anything else. What could they have done anyway. Nothing. No one could have prevented it. But they did know who attacked us. And instead of attacking the ones who attacked us. We attacked another country. That really doesn''''t make sense. So now we have spent billions of dollars on a war that we should have never been in. And then you guys wonder why our economy is going to hell in a hand basket.

1 trillion for the wars in the Middle East and almost 1 trillion to bail out greedy wall street. Enjoy the Republican''s version of Socialism taxpayers.
We could of been making healthcare and college affordable, improving our economy and fixing social security, instead have to pay for the war and wall street for years.

At least Bill cooperated in the BS investigation. Repugs just decide they are above the law and will not cooperate with investigations.

The reason there have been no investigations, is because the Democrats have no grounds and are just a responsible for our problems. If the Democrats had any grounds to impeach Bush, don''t you think Nazi Palosi would have done it?
