I voted for Hillary Clinton in the Florida primary and the way the votes were treated gave me pause as to why I was a Democrat. Then the Democrat politicians that I respected started bashing Hillary viciously and caled Bill a racist. In my opinion there is one racist running for President and his name is Barack.

I am a 71 year old lifelong Democrat, Barack Obama is the least qualified presidential candidate in my lifetime. If someone can give me one solid thing that Obama has done to benefit any person other than himself I will consider voting for him, No business, militaryor other experience. Not qualified.

Our "do nothing" Congress goes on vacation every time a serious problem like gasoline prices or the Fannie Mae crash comes up. Then a few weeks later they sneak back in, put fingernail polish on a *** and declare the problem is solved.

They should have stopped obstructing energy development a decade ago. They should have put a leash on Fannie Mae when McCain told them it was needed in 2005.

How is it these guys come to Washington with a net worth of a few hundred thousand dollars, and on a salary of $160,000 become multi-millionaires in just a few short years? Does the Congressional Credit Union pay interest rates of 1500% per year?

Stop politics as usual. Throw the bums out. Replace them with people like Palin who won''t tolerate them.

Think about it...WHAT could this nation have bought with the TRILLIONS that the FAT CATS have STOLEN from the American TAXPAYER?

Repairing Infrastructure?

Stabilizing Social Security?

TOP of the Line Health care for all?

$50,000 for EACH homeowner?

NEW SCHOOLS for EVERY DISTRICT?

and the POSSIBILITY of EVERY ONE of those and more are GONE - REPLACED by INDENTURED SERVITUDE for EVERY TAXPAYER to the OWNERS of the NEO-FEUDAL SYSTEM.

McSame''s slogan is Country First.
But wait. He gives millions of tax breaks to the richest 0.5% such as himself and his lobbyist cronies running his campaign.
Sounds to me like McSame = Country Club First

The Palin/McSame campaign is in the beginning of stages of implosion.

The fun has just begun. Both of them ''''Vricks are in over their heads!

I recommend the Constitutionalists, Independents, and "America First" Republicans and Democrats have an old fashioned pow wow in private. Drop their hatchets at the front flap and come to minds on our Constitution and Bill of Rights NOW! Globalist are not welcome anymore.

Maybe because we''''re tired of seeing the 700 billion a year go out of the country, thanks to the Democraps not allowing us to drill here ?

Are you sure you have your facts straight. For years, the oil companies have not developed millions of acres and, in fact, shut down much drilling in the US because it was cheaper to buy foreign oil. It really had nothing to do with the Democrats or Republicans. Now, the upheavals in the Middle East, partially caused by the Iraqi War, has given the oil companies a case to demand that they be given access to many more millions of acres. The only way the Democrats or Republicans are involved is which party is prone to give the oil companies their way?
