I have nothing against the oil companies making profits either. But record profit after record profit, after record profit while
(1) the Republicans give them tax breaks,
(2)while the republicans let them re-assemble the price gouging Standard Oil by watering down the anti-trust laws and allowing them to merge,
(3)while the Bushies gave huge tax credits to gas-guzzling hummers and other SUVs, and
(4)while the consumer is paying up the you-know-what for oil.

And now, right before election time, the oil prices go down a bit. Hmmm, that happened exactly 4 years ago.

McCain and the other republicans are in bed with the oil companies.

They have given us nothing but a recession since Bush got in. Their philosophy isn't working, except to get a vast minority of people richer at the population's expense.

If you want 4 more years of the same, vote for McCain, if you want a chance at a reversal, vote for Obama.

I am a moderate and used to lean towards the republican party until I saw what was happening under Reagan. I don't see the democrats as the answer, but right now the lesser of the two evils.

The republicans want to nuke social-security saying they want to get big government off our back.

Yet they contract out former government services to private companies like Halliburton at top dollar, spending more than if it was a government service, and do it on credit so we end up paying more for everything (hidden "tax) and then say they are cutting taxes. This is putting more government on our backs, not less.

Then they go to war with Iraq bearing by false witness against them spending trillions of out tax dollars on it - more than enough to rescue social security for 100 years

*** remember the WMDs - and don't tell me they didn't know Iraq didn't have them. WMDs are only good as a deterrent. If we were rattling our sabers at Sadam's door and he had WMDs, he would have said, "Step across that border and I'll nuke you". He had nothing to lose at that point.

So any idiot by then knew he didn't have them. But going to war with Iraq proved very profitable to halliburton, blackwater and the other contractors while it wrecked our economy.

If you want more of that, vote for McCain - Obama was wise enough to see through it and vote against the war.

Answer this, are you better off financially than you were when Clinton held the reins? (and I didn't vote for him either, but I sure miss him).

And the trailer trash running mate who said in our newspaper that we should go to war with Russia would only be a heartbeat away from being able to pull the trigger on that mistake.

Is that what you want?

I'm afraid this country cannot bear 4 more republican years.
