*In this time of crisis, we need the Best.

We need Experience. We need Hillary and Bill.

Under the Clinton administration, the average income went from $43,000 to $49,000 a year. The budget was balanced and inflation, including oil and gas prices, were kept in check.

We can still have Hillary.

It IS up to US. All we have to do is let it be known that Hillary backers are NOT going to vote for Obama under any condition. Thats all it takes. If we don''t play thier game with them, there is no game and the candidate that most Democrats cast their votes for in the Primary will be the next President of the United States.
Write in Hillary''s name on the November ballot. Call your local voting place,
(on your registration card) and find out if you have to do anything special to receive a write in ballot. In some states you have to be registered as an
Independent. Do this before October 1st.

REMEMBER!! Obama is just the "presumptive" Democratic Candidate. The Super

Delegates, who can change their votes right up until the last minute, can

still make Hillary Clinton the Democratic Candidate at the Democratic National

Convention in August.

LET THEM KNOW YOU WANT HILLARY!!!!!

How can adults be so stupid & naive when it comes to buying a house? Why do they get themselves in these situations?
------------------------
Because BOTH PARTIES HAVE TAKEN AWAY THE REGULATIONS that were put there to PROTECT THEM from making such bad choices - often because they were victimized by competitive lenders trying to lend more.

A SIMPLE CREDIT CHECK should identify who is not qualified to borrow more than they can afford. OUR REGULATORS FAILED to enforce these simple checks.

I have been betrayed by the Republican party. No longer will I vote a straight party ticket. EITHER PARTY! I''m not stupid enough to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire.

From now on, I WILL SCRITINIZE EVERY CANDIDATE. And I will be looking for ONE FACTOR - DATE OF BIRTH.

I will NEVER vote for any candidate born 1946 - 1957. As far as I''m concerned, that''s the HARD CORE BABY BOOMERS.

THROW THE BOOMERS OUT - ALL OF THEM!

You COMPLETELY ignore the Regulations and Laws put in Place after the Great Depression, Regulations and Laws people had grown up with and fully expected to protect them from lenders who would do anything for profit.

That''s EXACTLY what I have been saying. But you keep getting lassoed into this stupid partisan Blame Game, and you slip off the deep end.

We''ll never get ANYWHERE if we keep allowing ourselves to be lured into petty finger-pointing. BOTH PARTIES ARE TO BLAME.

And it will take ALL OF US to get us out of this mess. Starting by throwing out ALL OF THEM.

Don''''t confuse the bus driver who turned the bus over with a ''''hot engine'''' with the guy who took over, exceeded the speed limit...

Now you''re speaking my language. I was just thinking of a similar picture.

Who''s more to blame - the guy who cut the brake lines on the bus, or the guy who was asleep at the wheel and didn''t even TRY to step on the brakes as the bus crashed through the railroad arms into the path of an oncoming train?

THEY''RE BOTH TO BLAME! Stop playing this stupid Blame Game of trying to single out one or the other as deserving "most of the blame." THEY''RE BOTH TO BLAME!!!

It''s not the Democrats. It''s not the Republicans. It''s

SIXTEEN YEARS OF BABY BOOMERS.

Slick Willy is a Boomer. Dubya is a Boomer. Hillary is a Boomer. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a Boomer. Joseph Hazelwood is a Boomer. 60% of Congress are Boomers.

I THINK THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING...

Because Greedy Banks, run by Republicans, allowed people to take out loans when they knew they didn''t have the means or the credit rating to support the loans.

"The $300 billion plan was approved on 63-5 vote"

Last time I heard there were 100 senators. They''re paid handsomely to work, not hide out and play stink finger. I gotta go to work - so do these pampered $OB''s.

It is obvious that it is our attitude that collapsed the economy and not Corporate malfeasance. It is you average Joe down in the dumps who messed the economy up not The CEOs of Bear Stern, Golmans, Country Wide. 3 Trillion and counting funny money had nothing to do with it, it was the whining liberal and the cynical conservative who have led to the downfall of the nation.

Is this guy paid for his opinion? I would like to see him barter for food or repairs he made need with his oh so valuable opinion.

The Straitjacket Express

THE FIFTH COLUMNIST by P.M. Carpenter

What a week -- the mother of all bad weeks (so far) -- for John McCain.

It was as though all his ill-fated stars of undisciplined messaging, political insensitivity, the actual truth of safety-net Republicanism and, to be diagnostically frank, a touch of pixilated senility conspired in alignment against him.

The McCain camp''s omissions and misfires over, say, Viagra and the Pittsburgh Steelers were bad enough, and in an otherwise normal week of gaffe competition would have earned his campaign the bronze, maybe even the silver. But John and advisers were intent on entertaining us with far more than that, bless their little gilded-gaffe hearts.

For example there was, of course, the lugubrious Phil Gramm, drawling on and on like an antebellum plantation owner in thorough disgust over the great and shiftlessly unwashed, who just don''t appreciate how good they''ve got it.

In his figurative white suit and rocking chair, with mint julep in hand, the former senator from Texas informed the press, on the behalf of Admiral McCain, that what we''ve got here is merely a failure to communicate.
