     2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon
     3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
      
     Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we've seen:
      
     1) Consumer confidence plummet;
     2) the cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3 a gallon;
     3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
     4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value
     evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
     5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
     6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
      

     America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!

Now let us all blame it on "Bushka and Chenski" as it is all their fault. I'm so sick and tired of everyone in this country always blaming someone else for the problems we have created for ourselves. Be responsible and own up for yourself and your actions don't blame them on someone or something else. I love this country but am tired of the politcal correctness that has taken over and the " YOU OWE ME" mentality.
If I go and live in Belgium then I had better learn to speak Dutch or not even bother. I need to assimulate to them, not them to me. That is the problem with the USA. We all are to easily offended if something we don't like doesn't go our way.

Morfoot, right on!
What you said goes for every country and it's people if you ask me...
- Gun control means: using BOTH hands!
- Money doesn't make one happy, but when it rains cats and dogs, it's still better to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle...

Na!It would take too much time away from my boating and wakeboarding time.... I don't know about the rest of you guys; but I've had it up to my eyeballs with this whole presidential crap and mudslinging. ALL THREE of them scare the hell out of me and it boils down to which one Flip-Flops the least and is least crooked.

IMHO at least with McCain who is a father, a husband, a soldier and a POW who was beaten to hell and back, ain't gonna take no "She at" (use a southern drawl ) from Nobody!




A soldier was out on a date with Chelsea Clinton when she asked him;

You've been to Iraq, and Afganistan and see alot of horrible and scary things. Tell me, What scares you the most?

The solider replied without thinking; There are only three things in this world that scare me;

   1. Osama


   2. Obama

      &

   3. Your Mama!!!

what it boils down to is money is power, whomever is elected they still have to answer to the same people and im not talking about the voters, you might think im whacky, but wouldnt you think we should've had Osama a couple years ago? Afganastan is a large producer of what?
why are we in Iraq? it sure isnt democracy cause woman had the right to vote there in 1929

my point is that it doesnt matter who is at the top, we are a product of propaganda and we are taught throughout our lives to do the right thing and the Big business contradicts or even dictates what we do......no matter if it is oil or if it is a product from the poppy plant

Well... the saying goes: "Money makes the world go round"... It's always been like this and I got the feeling it ain't gonna change anywhere in the near future

Politicians worldwide have to answer to whom ever financed them, that's the way it's always been...
- Gun control means: using BOTH hands!
- Money doesn't make one happy, but when it rains cats and dogs, it's still better to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle...
