But, Larry, you are missing one thing. If he shows the American people his true intentions he could never get elected.

Just so I am clear, the blame for this economic crisis we are in and the bailout plan lies on both sides of the isle, Democrats and Republicans alike. These “Republican actions”, as you call them are not just Republicans. The Democrats want to blame this all on President Bush, but they share the blame. Look at who tried to warn Congress about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It was John McCain and President Bush, but people like Barack Obama, Chris Dodd, and Barney Frank refused to listen.

As for Obama, he has tried especially hard to lay the blame at the feet of McCain, but he refuses to acknowledge the fact that he has major ties to ACORN, the group that intimidated these banks into making the bad loans in the first place.

I don’t use the term Marxist or Socialist in a sneering way, but what Obama plans is socialist. He wants to take more taxes away from the people who are already paying the lion’s share of them, give them to people who do not pay taxes in the first place, and call that a tax cut. He should at least call it what it is, not try to sugar coat it and hide his true intentions from the American people.

Your blind hypocrisy is astonishing.
If a 700 Billion dollar cashback to failed gambling bankers, few of whom have been penalised in any way, isn’t “redistribution of wealth”, or having the largest (but mis-managed) “welfare” program in the whole world isn’t “redistribution of wealth” – then what is?
It just beggars belief that you consider these Republican actions as okay but any plans to improve health and well-being of the people you sneeringly call Marxist (or any other normal adjective that you wish to use in a derogatory manner).

Yes this is very disturbing! I also find it just as disturbing how many people are also wanting this redistribution of wealth. Then there are those who don’t pay attention and will vote for him anyway.
