Einstein once said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

It is the disadvantaged who habitually elect Democrats - yet they are still disadvantaged.

Why is that?

What you all fail to realize, is we blame the president…True the president has done some dumb things, but it is Congress who Runs the country…all things go through congress…Before a president passes a bill it goes through who??? Congress and the Senate…...and who is Congress ran by….hmmm..democrats….so you see, as mccain has stated several occasions, there is too much excess spending….and here is some food for thought as well….Thomas Jefferson once said:

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies . . . If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] . . . will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered . . . The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”—

Thomas Jefferson—The Debate Over The Recharter Of The Bank Bill, (1809)

VOTE RIGHT..VOTE SMART…THE CHANGE STARTS WITH OURSELVES…NOT WITH ONE MAN BESIDES GOD…

Since all the turmoil began in the year 2000 when the election was stolen from the then vice president Al Gore, things in govt have spiraled out of control from all the big business mess ups like enron and worldcom that was when govt should have stepped in but since only the working class of people felt the pain of this who cared. Now you want to blame someone blame your self for making a stupid decision of voting for him not once but yes twice people. now we are reaping the just rewards of the president elect. War, financial turmoil, poverty, housing market bottomed out stock market near crash and soilders dying daily. Americans wake up this is a time for change. If you let the smiles of the republicans fool you once more depression not recession is what you can have as a party gift. If you have never taken anything serious this is the time now or your kids and grandchildren will be left to foot the bill. wake up wake up wake up america.

WE (ALL AMERICANS) need to be on our knees praying. We are not only in a financial decline but a moral decline also. We need to join hands and minds no matter who gets president and try to help each other. Murders, robberies, rapes and home invasions are happening everyday-often more frequent than that. This election also has other positions that will help or harm this state and local communities. We need jobs to move into Mississippi, especially the south west portion. We are suffering here due to many lost jobs. We need God back in control. When we prayed at school, or sat quietly to the side if we didn’t agree, had prayer before sports, we wern’t in the shape we are in now. It seems we traded prayer for guns. Schools & church can not do it all. It must start in the home, but when we were allowed to pray in public, human life seemed to mean more to people. We need to examine where we went wrong, from disallowing prayer to being blind that we are all God’s people, no matter what color or how much money we have, and try and make things right.
Remember we are the ones who actually drove gas prices down. We changed the way we were doing, bought less gas and we see now that we proved our point. We need to get to know our neighbors, speak to them, be kind and watch what changes we can make by such a simple act. Everyone needs and will thrive in something that simple. Everyone needs to feel love and kindness. When was the last time going to church crossed your mind? It is so easy not to go, we are always so tired, but if things are going to change, this is probably the first thing in a list of many that wil begin that change. I have neighbors that may not be as nice or clean as my other neighbors, but since I got to know them I have found out they are not bad people, just people with different circumstances than me. Yes I do have some neighbors that are truely bad, a sex offender, but I would much rather be kind to him and know where he is than have him hate my family and possibly turn that hate into something else. We need to see all human beings as God’s people and pray for them often.

Everyone wants to blame Bush for this, But what they don’t realize is he didn’t make them buy what they can’t afford yet they don’t want to take the blame. They just want to set back and wait for the next stimulis check. They think it’s bad now wait to see what happens if Obama gets in office. Quit acting like leeches waiting for the govt. to fix the problem you brought on yourself.

The financial crises has affected me because I can not buy the things I need like I used to. I always have to make tough economic decisions which leads me to have NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING.

I feel that the economy is slowly going into another depression unless we as American Citizens make a stand for Change. As of right now it is all about scandal and negative ads with the republican party and not about the real issues of the economy.
