Actually, if we take out the party names, it comes down to who we voted into the house and senate. Party doesn't really have anything to do with it--not really. This has just dawned on me. We could have the best president, but the house and senate could bring him/her down. People like Dean, Pelosi, Reid, and a few more, are the greedy do nothings... but that doesn't mean that all Democrats are in their league. This goes the same for Republicans. I'm looking more at the individuals than the parties. However, those that belong to either party express their separations of what they stand for. Interesting. Perry: Good read, as usual. Well, it seems what congress passed... where is the results? I'm disabled, and no medicare changes? ect. We have veterans doing without. I'm not sure I understand exactly what has been passed.

You clearly don't know squat about economics or what actually happend to the US auto industry. It was American labor unions who, over the course of decades and with the aid of Democrats both in Washington and Ann Arbor, effectively blackmailed the management of American auto companies into agreeing to bloated wage structures, ridiculously restrictive work rules, lavish long-term benefit packages, and an inability to expeditiously fire incompetent workers. As a result, the quality of American cars became laughably bad (I vividly remember some of the clunkers that GM and Ford put out in the 1970s and 1980s) while the overall cost structure of American automakers became increasingnly uncompetitive on a worldwide basis. The Japanese and Europeans saw the opening and eventually American consumers started buying their products because they were cheaper and of better quality. Even after the pending decline of the US auto industry was painfully apparent in the 1990s, Detroit's labor unions still obstinantely refused to make the needed wage and benefit concessions that would have allowed US automakers to become competitive again, and Democrats backed them up right down the line. As a result, things got so bad that Ford & GM finally had to institute massive downsizing in the mid-2000s to avoid total oblivion. Not only did about 1/3 of US automotive union members lose their jobs, but the value of the company stock that they had in their retirement accounts was merely a fraction of what it had been. If there was ever an instance of where arrogant and bloated labor unions ruined an American industry, this is it. They literally "killed the goose that laid the golden egg." So believe me when I say that the LAST thing the state of Michigan needs right now is an "old school" socialistic Democrat like Barack Obama!!! It's his mentality and the mentaility of others like him that's gotten Michigan into this mess to begin with! Alexi, that is pure crap.

With the economy in a weakened state already the absolute last thing we need to do is to jack up taxes dramatically to fund a bevy of bloated new entitlement programs, giving the government control over an even bigger slice of the economy than they have now. And do not be taken in by Obama's claim that he will actually lower taxes for 80% of Americans. That's pure BS. One has to look beyond simply the personal income tax and look at corporate taxes, taxes on investment income / capital gains, and estate taxes. Our corporate tax rates are already among the highest in the western world. If taxes are raised on businesses a) it will make it that much more tempting for them to relocate operations overseas, and b) they will tend to pass those increased costs along to American consumers. The problem isn't that taxes are too low. It's that federal spending is out of control. McCain understands this.Although he will never admit it, Obama believes in socialism and the forced government redistribution of wealth. The choice couldn't be clearer and, as such, the GOP needs to keep hammering away on it in their ads. WADR, taxes are still very much the issue.

Backtrack is still being paid for a no show job. I thought the old mafia were the ones that did that. but at least they stayed quiet about it when it was done. Now it is the new democratic politicians that do it and get praised for having no plan or not showing up.

However, his answer reflected otherwise: "Obama will sell more papers" = greed, just greed. Well, that we a discouraging tidbit of info. The Obama tentacles are an omnipotent interloper tool.

So far McCain's team has been attacking O's tax plan as a redistribution of wealth, which while true, I found ineffective. Now they are connecting how raising taxes effects workers. That is the right approach, IMHO, make it a kitchen table issue and not about making the rich pay their "fair" share. Most people don't understand the economy, including me, O, and McCain, they are going to have to walk people through why O's plan is bad for them. It is no help to have your taxes cut, if you no longer have a job. I like this ad, it makes the connection between taxes and jobs, which really needs to be made.

Bill Clinton would give companies huge tax breaks to go into places like Eastern Ky and other places that are desperate for jobs. Companies leave because they can't compete. Some companies have factories spread all over the world and the American one can't make it because of the taxes and having to pay health insurance (and having to pay an employee more than a dollar a year)... Yes, we need to do something so companies can't just abuse the work force in asia but making it easier here would save jobs quickly and needs to be part of a bigger picture. There is no easy solution, we are in too deep that just one way won't fix the problem. I have seen that John McCain is proposing that we try every solution. With energy he wants to do everything, with the economy he agrees we need more regulation but also needs to make it easier on business too. This is the kind of thinking we need.

They wouldn't leave us alone. Thankfully he doesn't work there anymore bsince the union came the workers don't have as good of a deal... they made things worse. I am sure not all unions are like this but have heard most are corrupt.
