US Presidential Election ... [All recent threads merged here]

I agree wholeheartedly with your comments about Palin, mello. As a woman I take great concern about her being anywhere near the white house as well. She is dangerous and are so far off from reality that it will be a disaster if McCain gets elected.
 
I think the clear fact that they wont let her conduct interviews with the general media is a clear indication of just how unready she is. I'm not counting that sit down 3 part special interview she did where the whole thing was in a controlled environment. I say put her in front of a live group of people to answer questions.

I'm with Whoopi on this one I just can't trust a person who wont come out and just answer any questions especially given the MULTITUDE of chances she has had to address the public recently.

I mean hello......

Pressed on why Alaska's geographic location enhanced her world knowledge, Ms Palin said: "Well, it certainly does, because our, our next-door neighbours are foreign countries, there in the state that I am the executive of."
She said when Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin "rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska."
"It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right next to, they are right next to our state," Ms Palin said.

Ok can I just :banghead


I also don't get the conspiracy theory mindset of "we have to be ready cause everyone is coming to get us"
 
I agree WHOLE HEARTEDLY with Mello. Even though I was/am a supporter of Hillary and Bill, I also always liked Obama. Hillary was my first pick, but I knew I would vote for Obama if he ended up with the nom. And after the debate last night...and all the "drama" caused by McCain over the last week. If by some fluke McCain is elected, that will just solidify in the world's mind that america is full of nothing but morons. It's just all really messed up. Palin makes me sick. McCain makes my head hurt. And yeah...it's just disgusting.

Bush confident bailout bill will stabilize economy
By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Key supporters of a Wall Street bailout package prodded lawmakers to approve the plan hours ahead of a difficult House vote on Monday, with President Bush saying it is needed to "keep the crisis in our financial system from spreading throughout our economy."

"Every member of Congress and every American should keep in mind that a vote for this bill is a vote to prevent economic damage to you and your community," said Bush, fully aware that congressional passage of the $700 billion compromise legislation is far from assured.

the $700 billion bailout bill has just been rejected thanks to Republicans and their backward views on how it's a "socialist" move. they've harmed a lot of their suffering people and given more power to the banks. can't believe this is 21stC America.

House defeats $700B financial markets bailout
By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS, Associated Press Writer
1 minute ago



WASHINGTON - The House on Monday defeated a $700 billion emergency rescue for the nation's financial system, ignoring urgent warnings from President Bush and congressional leaders of both parties that the economy could nosedive into recession without it.

Stocks plummeted on Wall Street even before the 228-205 vote to reject the bill was announced on the House floor.

Bailout, Take II: What the Feds Do Next

OK, so that didn't work.
After a bunch of all-nighters in Washington and some premature back-slapping, we're right back where we were a couple of weeks ago, after Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy and the government lent AIG $85 billion. There's no one-size-fits-all bailout plan, after all. That $700 billion in taxpayer money remains under lock and key. Glum investors are now the ones bailing out, fleeing stocks and bonds and seeking safer ground.

A "Plan B" they call it. Whatever. :rolleyes: I just can't help but take notice of what's going on. I could be doing other stuff, but this is what I wanna watch. Maybe it's a good thing.
