Tonight is the final presidential debate of the election. So far they have not been really stimulating. My hope is that tonight McCain will say something to get a reaction out of Obama. I think we need to see how the man reacts and responds when he is mad. Thus far Obama has been pretty much an academic gentleman - boring. All of his promises won't mean anything if he doesn't have a Congress that works with him.
The same is true for McCain. We've seen John get fired up a time or two, but overall, if you overlook references to terrorists from forty years ago, McCain has been a gentleman as well. Boring.
I want to see them go at it tonight and really attack one another. Let's hear why this one's economic plan will fail and why this one is a lackey of rich. We need some action to stimulate this election.
One thing I am concerned about is the possibility that the President and the majority of Congress will be from the same party. I favor a balance of power. Too much power and control is never a good thing. Look at what is happening now because people are scared and frantic. The government is forcing banks to accept the US government as a partner.
Hello socialism. Help!! The United States was not founded to turn into a Russia, China or Cuba.
Big Brother getting even more involved in our lives is not a good thing. Its one thing to have a national bank that you voluntarily choose to use. Its another thing entirely when all banks have the government on their board of directors.
How much information will be required now for a loan? Any doubts we had of the government eavesdropping on our lives can be dispelled, they want to be in and control our lives as much as possible.
I am not happy with the way things are going. The government is trying too hard and too fast to come to the rescue and I fear when they are finished we are going to find out that we have less rights than when it all began.
What do you think? Are we headed for socialism? Will Wal Mart be replaced by GUM? (Look that up those of you who aren't up on your Cold War history.)
If you are like me and afraid of the direction the country is taking, be vocal, write your representatives, and vote early and often.
Its Common Sense.

I do not understand republicans or democrats who favor "socializing" banks and financial institutions while at the same time being adamantly against socializing health care. Regardless of anyone's beliefs on socialized health care, the hypocrisy is there. It just shows that the health of the American economy is more important to a lot of politicians than the health of Americans.
Taki,
Its easy to support socializing financial institutions, the politicans see it as a win, win situation, spending our money to (hopefully) make money.
Socialized medicene means that they have to take on HMO's, insurance companies, drugmanaufactorers, etc. Who will support their campaign if they do the right thing and fight for the best deal for the American people.
Their primary interest is themselves, not us.
That's why I say vote out the incumbents.
