So, I read via Brian Ross,from ABC that Obama has received $691.930 from Goldman-Sachs, in his bid for the run for the President campaign. McCain also received money, Sen Dodd, Sen Schumer also received thousands of dollars from the Lobbyist of Goldman-Sachs.
I say, SACK them all, make them give the money back to Goldman-Sachs, or arrest them for "cooking the books" on the American citizens.
Obama and McCain both have dirty houses and are guilty of taking thousands, perhaps millions of dollars''s from the Lobbyist.
Outlaw the Lobbist in American government. Anyone giving money to an American politican should be arrest and tried for influence pedaling.
To all the Senators of the member of this corrupt Congress.
''NO BAILOUT-NO WAY! The American public aren''t gonna that it anymore. If you can stand up for your people, you can stand DOWN, give up your office and let someone honest take the job of helping America, not tearing it down and lining your own pockets.
Time is fleeting, and time is coming for you all to leave Washington and never, ever go back.

The reason McCain did not want to go to the debate was he did not READ THE TWO PAGE PORPOSAL for bailout. McCain had to go to Washington to learn what was going on he had no Idea. On Thursday night he study for the debate and changed he mind to go. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH PUTTING COUNTRY FIRST. No bailout has been reached and he had no input.

Question number 6.
John Mccain, why do you already have a web Ad up on the Wall Street Journal website, saying "JOHN MCCAIN WINS DEBATE"?

How were you able to do that, if your campaign was ''suspended'' like you claimed? And why do you have it up 8 hours before the debate even starts?

I wish Obama would answer some questions regarding the ACRON group. Why did Obama give $800,00 campaign money under a disguised group called,"Citizen Serves,Inc." for "advanced work." Then admitted to the giving the money to the ACRON GROUP. He has had a 20 year relationship with this group that according to Consumer Rights League, has committed voter fraud in many states, including Michigan. It this how Obama gets elected!!!!!!

My prediction, John McCain will open the debate with the following line:

"Funny thing happened on the way to the debate tonight..."

Does anyone care about what has been happening with the national debt under this administration? Take a look at the charts here: http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/faq.html

The debt has gone up dramatically since the 1980s Reagan administration. It leveled-off for some years during the Clinton administration and has taken back off larger then ever since then. I dont understand how the party of fiscal responsibility (Republicans) can turn their backs on this? The Reagan feel-good supply-side trickle-down economic policies with their associated industry deregulation has led to this. A lot of people got rich, but there is a price to pay for spending without bound. It doesnt matter if that spending goes to fuel business (Republicans) or if goes to build infrastructure and provides jobs along the way (Democrats). This country doesnt know how to live within its means. I know a lot of people hate the Clinton administration, but his administration was controlling the problem. All others from the 80s until now have added to the problem, and all the other were all Republican administrations. Therefore, at this time, I lean to the Democrats.
