    Take a look at this crap from Soros. One world government and the "Bubble of American Supremacy".

    This very dangerous man is an advisor to Obama. If Obama is able to win the White House, this is the kind of thinking that will guide him.

    We give a running ton of $ to foreign countries(many that don't seem to like us much) and I am not a big fan of that. And while I am not a completely heartless capitalist, I will never support giving $ to the UN for anything. We should put that building on a barge and ship it to France.

    ...and you think McCain will do anything different? If there were ever a time for a serious third party, it's now.

    You saying it, and it happening, are two very different things. Ron Paul will not be elected president. I would wager a years pay that he doesn't receive ten percent of the vote. It's a waste of time. It's a waste of a vote.

    Third parties have never caught on in this country and likely never will. One reason is because they are either too one-issue (the Green Party) oriented or they are too far to either the right or the left (the Libertarian Party).

    When the differences between candidates is so small, it's a wasted vote to pull the lever for the illusion of voting to make a difference. I'll probably be voting Obama, but I'd vote Paul if he were still running. I see a big enough difference between Obama and McCain to vote for Obama and against an aggressive interventionist foreign policy, but only because I can't send a strong message with millions of like minded Americans by voting for Paul.

    I believe our founding fathers would be sickened by the idea of not voting your conscience for fear of wasting your vote, and instead voting for mostly hollow promises because there is a minuscule difference between republican and democrat.

    This Trillion-dollar bailout means the end of Obama's "Universal health insurance" plan as well as McCains "Save the Milionaires" tax cuts. We won't be able to afford either one and Medicare itself will be on the chopping block very soon, it looms over our heads like the sword of Damocles. We can't afford to keep wasting money on Iraq either, time for the Rags to solve their own problems.

    It means the military won't get enough money, government research won't get enough money, homeland security and FEMA will not get enough money . . . everything will suffer.

    And inflation is going to eat our savings alive because of how much money we will have to borrow from overseas. Better start finding some hedges against inflation like real estate, gold, and commodity funds. If it gets really bad, we'll all be growing gardens and raising chickens. We'll be joining Co-ops and buying things that can be bartered instead of holding cash that grows increasingly worthless.

    Great Post, you cant double the tax cuts and you cant ship money oversees. So this thread has to apply to both candidates, which it doesnt from its beginning. They will have to reshape their messages on the economy with this 700 billion dollar plan. This will be a fight as well because Paulson, doesnt want any provision for taxpayers and home owners. Also, he wont restrict CEO severances and parachutes, which is wrong on all accounts.
