Words Are Dangerous

John McCain is playing with fire and it scares me. I'm evidently not the only one scared. Read the Open Letter to McCain.

After writing this I just saw on the news that the McCain campaign is reinforcing the Obama "terrorist" idea with automated phone calls and radio adds. I realize that all politics is dirty but that kind of smear campaign could get someone killed. Are you really that desperate to get elected president John???

Politicians Suck!

Even for a skeptic like me it's hard to believe how low our elected representatives have sunk today. By adding 100 billion dollars in tax cuts to the 700 billion dollar bailout it looks like the politicians who voted against the bailout earlier this week can be bribed to vote for it. Now this enormous tax payer bailout is even bigger. The Republicans who claim to be conservative have taken a surplus the Democrats gave them 8 years ago and turned it into the largest deficit in history. Now that their policies have devastated the economy they want to put us further in debt with this gigantic bailout - but for the conservative republicans to vote for it they need more deficit spending - another 100 billion! The Democrats are right in there with them looking for their favorite tax breaks. Politicians suck!
