This is in reply to "I"---Let me get this right now. The dollar has lost its muscle and the country's economics have gone to hell in a handbasket under the leadership of the Republicans and Bush. McCain has told us that he will be following most of the policies of Bush because, as he said, he doesn't really understand economics as well as he should. Am I right so far??

Now, how does it follow that, and I quote you here " Everyone who wants to totally annihilate the American dollar as well as the economy of this country - vote for Obama." ????

Please help me understand just how this is logical thinking to you?

To follow up on Casey42 - Everyone who wants to totally annihilate the American dollar as well as the economy of this country - vote for Obama.

Well, what to do other than Pray A Lot. We can take a piece of paper divide it into two columns and then two columns under each column so that you end up with 4 columns total. Put the Republican on oneside and the Democrat on the other. List the two columns under each party with positive and negative. Be true to yourself and put down under each one how you feel about each Promise made (you could list the item, promise or what have you in/on the side column and then give a positive response two (2) and each negative response 1 point. Total each up and whomever has the most points is whom you want to vote for. Now be honest and forthright. Of course you can't really do this if you are tightly tied to a particular party or candidate. But if you refuse to sell your soul to one or the other; then you can do what is best for yourself.

MC CAIN IS CLEARLY THE LESSER OH THE TWO EVILS

"Cultivez le Jardin!"---Cartesian philosophy that recognized the obvious fact that some things do not change, nor should they. Human needs are one of those things. We need to prevent the Emergency Room, rather than formulating health care plans for the entire country that provide for it. How about some serious thinking and planning for policies regarding energy and food production which will contribute to a reduction in cost rather than a burdensome increase in taxes to pay for a health care system for all but overlooks the causes of health problems. The problem with minority perspective is that it is minority perspective.
A minority of people use the health care system during their lifetimes, why have a government plan to pay for universal health care? Of course, after the next election a lot more people will be using the health care system.

I'm very concerned about what either one of them will do! I feel that we have ZERO candidates running for President this time and I wouldn't feel comfortable voting for either one of these two. I'll be voting third party and I hope that the rest of the people in this country wake up and realize that the only way we are going to change anything is to get rid of all the Democrats and all the Republicans and start with people who aren't already bought and paid for by some special interest group.
