Presidential Debate: Obama vs McCain: Do they answer your questions?

Did you actually watch the debate? If so, here is my question, has Barack Obama ever actually answered a question?

I am sorry, again, to tell you that there is but one thing that Barack Obama says, and yes, he says it repeatedly, and that is that John McCain is the same as George Bush!

Unless you are a lemming, just running because everyone else is running, you might just ask a question! The truth is, John McCain has nothing to do with George W Bush!

So, look at everything but the basics as something different! Do they both believe that the American People should be in control, and not the government, but, who wants to take the taxes from all of us, just to support the welfare plans?

Obama has a problem, he wants to make ALL AMERICANS the same, like Europe, by taking so much money from the top, and spreading it all over, through welfare and other BIG Government programs.

After the “Crisis” he has tried to hide his plans by saying that some of the ideas that he has “may need to be put on hold”, as in Duh! If the country is hurting as a whole, who should be hit the hardest?

Let me put it this way, if you pay $50,000.00 a year in taxes, does that mean the person paying $500.00 a year in taxes needs a break? Think about it, where are you in all this, do you actually pay any tax? Do not be so selfish, your pennies will never match the dollars paid by others!

Yes, we are all hurting, but, do you want to pay for someone else’s mistakes? If you can only afford $1oo a month, why should anyone help you pay $500 a month? It is that simple!

This whole “crisis” is about the government pushing loans to low income people, like me. However, unlike me, these people that could afford $100 were given loans that required $1000! These garbage loans got packaged together and re-sold as investments, guess what, that was stupid! Both republicans and dumbocrats were responsible, but, to me it was about personal responsibility, not that of the government!

This is my suggestion, if you are broke, then save up to get those dreams. Have you ever heard of the American Dream? That is a long standing term, however, today, people like Obama, want to make it the American Right!  Please, do not ever think that anyone OWES you anything, just work, save, and then, make it happen!

Those that complain about “illegals” often forget to mention that these are the very people still working hard enough to realize that dream! The rest of us are what? Lazy? I can think of words worse than this, like “expectant” “spoiled” or worse!

So, please, all of you, that is everyone, get off your butts, work, and stop waiting for a handout!

What is the Right Change? I found a website that may help!

I know, everybody is talking about change, and there is such a giant difference between what Barack Obama is saying and what John McCain says, so how do you know who is right? How do you know who is wrong?

My advice to anyone looking for that answer is simple, RE-SEARCH! If you have found this website you obviously know how to use a search engine, that is a great first step, but the second step is the hard part, actually doing the searches, then reading the info on the websites you find, and NOT just the ones you already agree with! If you are a liberal, conservative, moderate, or whatever, just read! Look at the links on the website, if you only find liberal or conservative links, then you know immediately that there is at least some bias. I will tell you now, I am about three clicks to the right of dead center, and I will explain:

1. WIN THE WAR! Winning the War on Terror is vital to the safety of our country, not just you and me, but everybody! Just bringing the troops home any old way is not the answer, it will just motivate the terrorists and make them feel like they have won, we must defeat them, in Iraq, and everywhere else, including Iran, which the UN now says Iran has worked on designs of a missile re-entry vehicle,  rockets to carry nukes!
2. I am Pro Life. I believe that if you were involved in what it takes to make a baby, you should be prepared for the consequences! I also believe that anyone wanting to have a baby should have to get a license! Hey, you have to have a license for everything else, from driving, to plumbing, to selling beer, so why not making a baby? It would be simple, Are you married? Do you have a Job? Do you have insurance? Do you have a place to live, other than your parents house? You have to have insurance to drive a car, why not to have a baby? So, if you are Pro Choice, just remember, you had the choice to have sex or not, you had the choice to use birth control or not, once you made up your mind to have sex without birth control, your choice was already made!  If you choose to drive after drinking, or without insurance, and you got caught, you can’t just kill the penalties of a bad choice, and an abortion is doing exactly that!
3. I am Anti-Big Government. I believe in a small government, one where your local community is involved and actually knows it’s people and the local problems. Not some giant bureaucracy, which costs too much to maintain! Our elected officials should come from our communities, like Sarah Palin, not some Career Politician, I just want Uncle Sam to leave me alone! Hmm, maybe I am part Libertarian?
4. I am Anti-Entitlements. Except for Vets, or other, EARNED entitlements, like pensions and such. Yes, I think Social Security is a good thing, and yes, I think that it needs to be fixed, or CHANGED, to where it is actually a viable thing, sort of like a 401K or something, but unlike a 401K that you have to work for a big company to get it, then have to work there and hope the company stays in business, but that would be an investment that grows and that I would have at least some control over, and determine how much to put into it, over and above the minimum required, however, it should be one that can’t flop like the stock market! Speaking of which, Wall Street has problems, but that is how it works, just like me, my business failed, nobody bailed me out! If Fannie and Freddie would have just been allowed to fail, it would have hurt, but that is a good thing in the long run, because it will teach them not to sell houses to those that can’t afford it! Now that they have been bailed out, those of you that have made your payments, and pay taxes, will have that debt added to your taxes! Welcome to Socialism!
5. When it comes to Health care, I believe that if all the Insurance Companies, Hospitals, Doctors, and Pharmaceutical Companies wanted to, they could put a tiered system together, that would be from extremely affordable on up, like it is now, but, instead of a bunch of individual efforts, like they have now, a group effort. You have seen Montel on TV right? There are many things like that now available, combine that with efforts from the Hospitals and Doctors, and mix it with that $5 a day type of Insurance, and it should bring down the costs to like maybe $1 a day! Hey, the Doctors and Hospitals get screwed out of millions now, so if they just made a cut rate where they would at least get something, and offer a Ward instead of private or semi-private rooms, like they used to, and like the military does, it could be done, and still be private insurance! Keep the government out of it! That will keep your taxes from going up, and save all involved a lot of money! We already have Medicaid for those that can’t or won’t afford the cheap insurance!
6. Legalize Pot! yeah, I said it, and no, I am not a serious pothead, but if weed was legal, and taxed like cigarettes, it would give people a legal alternative to alcohol or the harder, drugs. Yes, I will burn one on occasion,  If I look at the clock at 4:20, I do smile! Just like I sometimes get the urge to drink beer, wish I had both right now, but I don’t smoke regularly, hey, it is ILLEGAL! I feel that if it is a seed, and i plant it, and it grows, just like corn or flowers, it should be legal! In many cases both weed and cheap beer are popular with us lower income folks, so imagine, if I am saving my beer and weed money, by growing my own, legally, i can easily afford that cheap health Insurance! See my thinking on this?
7. Mandatory Service! Either military or community service, for both males and females! Service would do kids some good, even if it was just 18 months or something! Oh, and if they stay in the military, like 4 or more years, they get FREE medical if they need it! However, there should be a third option, JAIL! Yeah, send them to the big house for a year or something!
8. Real Tax Cuts. This is where I tie in the website I found, I want to be clear, I am a broke bum, I have a bad back and can’t do much of anything, so I don’t pay much, BUT, if you have a job, and you pay taxes now, Barack Obama will raise your taxes! In one way or another, it will cost you! I don’t mean if you pay in taxes out of your check, then get a refund bigger than what you paid in, I mean if you have, after all the deductions, more tax paid than you get back! Here is another way it will get you, if the company that makes widgets gets a tax increase, widgets will cost more, period! Prices and Taxes will go up if Barack Obama gets elected, it is that simple.

Now, you know where I stand on these issues, do some research, study and learn, be open minded and stop listening to that buddy that thinks he knows something, make up your own mind and VOTE, that is how we will get change, it is up to all of us, if we don’t we end up with something that we didn’t help decide, and YES, YOUR VOTE DOES COUNT!

Here is an excerpt from the website that I mentioned, RightChange.com

Change?.. What’s it cost?.. Who pays?..

We’re hearing a lot about change — and we’re sure to hear much more.

Problem is, we heard a lot about change before, and look what’s happened: higher gas prices and food prices, record home foreclosures, massive bank failures and a do-nothing Congress.

In fact, we often hear politicians making grand promises with other people’s money. That is, with our money.

Because the issues are so serious, and the stakes so high, to cut through the clutter and spin, RightChange.com is starting a national conversation, in plain language, around key questions: (Click Here to Read More)

NEW INFORMATIONREAD THIS!

After writing this post, I saw an Ad by the AMA, the doctors that I mentioned above, here is what I wrote.

When it comes to Health care, I believe that if all the Insurance Companies, Hospitals, Doctors, and Pharmaceutical Companies wanted to, they could put a tiered system together, that would be from extremely affordable on up, like it is now, but, instead of a bunch of individual efforts, like they have now, a group effort.

Keep the government out of it! That will keep your taxes from going up, and save all involved a lot of money! We already have Medicaid for those that can’t or won’t afford the cheap insurance!

Below is a bit of what they have to say. If you really want to know about the future of Health care, go to their site and start reading! They have links to what both Presidential Candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain have to say about it.

The AMA Proposal

The AMA is committed to expanding coverage and choices for all Americans. See how we intend to benefit patients everywhere and drive positive change in our health care system.

Read the .pdf files that they offer, there are many, i have been reading about an hour and have learned quite a bit about who is actually saying what, and what makes sense. I have to be honest here, all that Obama has to say is he wants to spend more money,  but Mccains plan sounds a lot like what they have to say. Read this  and the PDF’s for yourself and tell me what you think.
