Anti Obama is one thing but the republican party is doing the same re-distribution of wealth. I didn’t think trickle down economics worked, but this recent rash of bailouts proves that it really does. Mega-rich CEOs screw the pooch; bail out with a golden parachute, and then the bill trickles down to the taxpayer. Welfare for the rich…wait until the credit card companies implode…that is Uncle Sam tapping his foot in the next stall.

Still I will not vote for a republican this election. Basically, the thinking is along the same lines as Bush. Corruption at it’s finest.

Plus how the heck can you use logic and reasoning behind all of this when the media is nothing but lies and corruption as well? There is no logic/reasoning. You just have to go by your standard beliefs, and the republicans don’t share those same beliefs as me. So, I’m voting democrat no matter what.

starboy=great at taking pics, bad at picking presidents.

everyone keeps saying mccain is old and gonna die…mccain is only a year older than ronald reagan was when we elected him… the difference… Reagan was a trained actor who spoke more smooth and gave the impression that he wasn;t as old as he really was… he obviously dyed his hair too. if mccain dyed his hair he’d look 10 years younger. bill clinton looks a hell of a lot worse than john mccain does and is in worse physical shape. didnt billy have all kinda problems a few years ago?.. age has only a lil bit to do with it. Obama could find out he has cancer tmw.

lie.

he’s 3 years older.

Reagan was 69, McCain is 72.

Reagan was also in much better shape, with not crashing a half-dozen planes and whatnot…
