I think you really aren't as prinicpled as I gave you credit for. &amp;nbsp;I'm beginning to think you are really just a tired, old sexist.&lt;/p&gt;

All rational, freedom-loving people agree that government does not belong in the bedroom or in your womb, to call it favoring infanticide is just like saying people who own guns favor murder. You need to inject some color into your black&amp;amp;white beliefs, girl!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In a few weeks we will make a choice &amp;nbsp;that will decide our future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, he perfectly predicted the current real estate market meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen in the next couple years&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide the largest morgage bank in the world,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch which are 3 out of the top 5 wall street firms. Also, &amp;nbsp;Fanny and Freddy Mae which hold 50 percent of the &amp;nbsp;home loans in the United States.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The government took them over because they are essentially bankrupt.If they didn't the entire financially system would virtually shut down, the stock market would crash and we would suffer beyond what any of us have seen before.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;McCain just like Bush &amp;quot; doesn't understand the economy&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That not just my opinion its his own words. Not &amp;nbsp;only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand exactly what &amp;nbsp;is broken.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is no &amp;nbsp;surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities &amp;nbsp;use complex mathematical &amp;nbsp;models very few people understand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bush's economic advisor &amp;nbsp;Phil Graham wrote &amp;nbsp;the deregulation bill &amp;nbsp;that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No one in this country can afford for that to &amp;nbsp;happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He either didn't care or didn't realize that anything was wrong. &amp;nbsp;Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he &amp;nbsp;helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a surplus like Bush did but a tanking economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit.Bush created a national debt larger then the first 42 presidents combined &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So &amp;nbsp;why isnt obama 25 points ahead&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The chairman of McCains campaign recently said that people don't vote on issues they vote on a personality composite. Which means he is trying to sell you personality instead of results.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let's teach him we are smarter than that . &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;31 states are voting now, dont wait &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elect Obama Biden 2008 &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Check out this video of sarah palins interview before you vote&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Free and Equal Elections Coalition (FREE) and the Columbia Political Union are pleased to announce that a Presidential debate will be held this coming Sunday, October 19th, 2008, on the campus of Columbia University. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ALL SIX of the Presidential candidates who appear on enough state ballots to acquire the 270 Electoral Votes needed to become President are invited. They are as follows (listed in alphabetical order by affiliation): &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Constitution Party Candidate: Chuck Baldwin &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Democratic Party Candidate: Barack Obama &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Green Party Candidate: Cynthia McKinney &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Independent Candidate: Ralph Nader &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Libertarian Party Candidate: Bob Barr &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Republican Party Can John McCain &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Columbia Political Union will present the debate from 8:00pm to 10:00pm in the Altschul Auditorium, located at 417 International Affairs Building. The debate will be moderated by Pacifica Radio's Amy Goodman, the host of &amp;quot;Democracy Now!&amp;quot;. CSPAN will cover the debate, and live radio broadcasts are expected. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The Columbia Political Union is committed to energizing political discourse on Columbia's campus,&amp;quot; said Allon Brann, Columbia Political Union Publisher. &amp;quot;As a non-partisan organization, we work to provide students with opportunities to encounter and engage with political ideas across a wide ideological spectrum, and on a wide range of issues.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;It is with these goals in mind that we have organized this Presidential Debate: to give all candidates-- either within or outside of the political &amp;quot;mainstream&amp;quot;-- the opportunity to speak directly to students about their goals on the issues they deem critical for this country.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;We have invited all eligible candidates, and it is our sincere hope that all will participate, to ensure the substance and rigor of the dialogue which we believe is crucial at this time.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Certified letters officially inviting each candidate have been sent to the respective campaigns. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Free and Equal Elections Coalition and the Columbia Political Union await the response from the candidates. All candidates' supporters are encouraged to contact the Presidential campaigns and urge them to attend. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Columbia Political Union seeks to enhance involvement in the political process, domestic and international, and draw every member of the campus community into an ongoing discussion of political ideas. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;FREE is a coalition of political parties, independent citizens and civic organizations formed to promote free and equal elections in the United States. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Does anyone dispute this? ....thought so ....enjoy REID=PELOSI=OBAMA regime for the next 4 years...yikes!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;TODAY, AT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S DAMAGE CONTROL PRESS CONFERENCE ATTRIBUTED TO&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;JOE BIDEN'S &amp;quot;FLIRTATEOUS RHETORIC&amp;quot; RELATING TO OBAMA NOT ABLE TO HANDLE THE PENDING CRISIS IF HE WERE ELECTED. BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA GOES ON TO PROMOTE HIS ECONOMIC PHILOSOPHY OF &amp;quot;SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND&amp;quot; SO THAT HE CAN CREATE AN AMERICAN SOCIETY WHERE ALL CITIZENS ARE AS EQUALS AND ON A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD IN ORDER TO PURSUE PERSONAL PROSPERITY. WELL, IN OTHER WORDS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS TELLING TO EVERY AMERICAN'S FACE THAT HE WILL BE &amp;quot;DICTATING&amp;quot; YOUR PERSONAL FINANCES. AND ALL YOU GUYS ARE EATING IT ALL UP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THIS POLITICAL DOCTRINE THAT OBAMA WILL IMPLEMENT IS KNOWN AS SOCIALISM, MARXISM, COMMUNISM, OR WHATEVER TERM ONE WANTS TO USE...BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THIS IS AN AFFRONT&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TO THE FOUNDATION OF AMERICA...CAPITALISM.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TO IMPOSE THESE DRACONIAN MEASURES SUCH AS RAISING TAXES TO SUPPORT THOSE IN SOCIETY WHO DO NOT EVEN WANT TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES BUT OBAMA DECLARES &amp;quot;SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND&amp;quot; WILL LEAD TO AN ECONOMIC ABYSS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; IS THIS THE IDEOLOGY OBAMA ADOPTED FROM HIS CLOSE ASSOCIATION WITH WILLIAM AYERS WHO ALSO IS A BIG PROPONENT OF MARXISM?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AMERICANS, IF INDICATIONS ARE CORRECT AND OBAMA GETS ELECTED, IT WILL PROVE TO BE THE THIRD TIME IN A ROW THAT AMERICA REGRETS WHO THEY ELECTED AS PRESIDENT.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AN OLD WISE MAN ONCE SAID ...&amp;quot; BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR ....&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
