How do you feel about Sarah Palin?
I am voting tomorrow and I still am not sure who I want to vote for. I really don’t like either candidate but I would have voted for McCain if he had not picked Sarah Palin as a running mate. It would have been no question who I was voting for if it were not for her, but she seems very unintelligent and not capable of running a country.
She is also very religious and even though I am religious also, I believe that there should be separation between church and state.
She also, to me, seems really strange like her hunting wolves from helicopters, her getting blessed to keep witch craft away, and her answers in most of her interviews.
I do not think she is capable of running a country and if McCain passes away we would be stuck with her, and I’m not sure if it is worth the risk.
Obama is okay. I do think, however, that he often just talks about nothing and doesn’t say anything really constructive or informative. I also do not like the flag burnings he attended and the fact that he wants to change our democracy. It also concerns me that he wont pledge the flag or support the flag .. I find this completely unpatriotic and the president of the United States should support what we stand for and our country.
What do you think?
This was in the Washington Post
Senator Obama Live on Sunday states, ‘As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides, Obama said. ‘There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like To Teach the World To Sing.’ If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.’We should consider to reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It’s my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we as a Nation of warring people, should conduct ourselves as the nations of Isla m, whereas peace prevails. “
How come no one has booted Barney Frank from his position as Chair of the House Financial Services Committee?
In September 2003, Frank, then the ranking Democrat on the Republican-led Financial Services Committee, opposed Bush administration proposals for transferring oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac by creating an independent agency to supervise. The proposal would have moved oversight from Congress and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to the new agency. Frank stated in 2003, “The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”[30] Frank stated that the bill would potentially “[weaken] the bargaining power of poorer families and their ability to get affordable housing”
And his “boyfriend” was instrumental in crafting todays collapse.
Frank’s former partner, Herb Moses, was an executive at Fannie from 1991 to 1998, where Moses helped develop many of Fannie’s affordable housing and home improvement lending programs. In 1991, Frank pushed for reduced restriction on two- and three-family home mortgages.[39] Frank and Moses’ relationship ended around the same time Moses left the company; Frank’s support of Fannie and Freddie predated and continued past that relationship

With Obama more of the same old politics, so much for the change he lied about to get elected.
