Jim

I remember the 70’s, and you are correct. Obama will be another Jimmy Carter in more ways than one. Lord help us.

I see a re-hash of what Carter allegedly did. But I see no evidence for why you think Obama will destroy the economy, other than you accusing Obama of being just like Carter. If you’re conservative and don’t want to vote for a Democrat, that’s your choice. But setting up a straw man doesn’t make your point.

Jim, dont think of it as poverty, think of it as a socialist (democrat) eutopia.

I love how conservatives like to say that Obama or any liberal for that matter, if elected will destroy our economy or things will be just so much worse than they are now. Really? I mean do you really think they are gonna have to try that hard to one-up our current president and our current conditions? The question that Ron threw around when he got elected I see casually comes up but I don’t see it ever answered. Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago? OH thats right the Dems have had control of congress so it’s obviously their fault. I’d like to know where you conservatives got your new crystal ball, because I certainly hope you are not using the same one that you have been.

Jimmy, facts dont lie, the economy was rolling along fine until about Jan 07. Gas prices were about $1.50 a gallon lower then, and San Fran Nan had a secret plan to lower gas prices? Wouldnt now be a good time to implement that plan?

Yes, and up until Sept 11, 2001, when we had a Republican President and a Republican Congress, the Twin Towers were still standing.

If a Democratic Congress can be blamed for soaring gas prices, even though they’ve only had the majority a little over a year, and it’s not a majority that allows them to accomplish anything thanks to the obstructionist Republicans, then by the same logic, the Republicans are to blame for 9/11. They WERE in charge when it happened, after all.

Facts don’t lie, right?

let’s all be grateful that Bill Clinton, after endless meetings with his Special Advisor on Terrorism, Monica Lewinsky, was able to nip terrorism in the bud! After all the warning Clinton had (the 1st WTC bombing in 1993, the USS Cole, Embassy attacks in Africa, the foiled LAX millenium attack, etc, etc, etc) he still did nothing. The only enemy Clinton saw was Limbaugh

Oh, here are the Carter as Satan comments again… As much as all of you right wing fringe people hate Carter for the 70’s (did he also make you wear your hair that way??), many of us will feel the same way about George Bush in our senior years. His 8 years have been unimaginably bad for the US, specifically because of his failed policies. This needless war will cost 2-3 TRILLION dollars, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_cost_of_the_2003_Iraq_Conflict, and that is why Mr. Enright may have to do with less during the upcoming Obama presidency.

Mr. Enright, at least you have the security of Medicare at your age. McSame wants to take health insurance away from the rest of us.

So here’s what’s likely to happen in the real world under the McCain plan, based on what we’ve learned so far:

1. If a family gets a $5,000 tax break but the typical family premium is $12,000, they’ll either pay $7,000 out of pocket or go without coverage.

2. People with pre-existing conditions won’t be able to get private coverage.

3. McCain will encourage the states to take on people with pre-existing conditions by creating “high-risk pools.”

4. But high-risk pools at the state level haven’t worked very well. So people with pre-existing conditions will either go without insurance, remain uninsured, or state taxes will skyrocket to cover their costs. That means even more money out-of-pocket for individuals, in the form of higher state taxes.

Mr. Jim Enright…
How did you ever survive the liberal “poverty years” of the Bill Clinton administration?

I’m surprised you were able to retire comfortably.
How’s your pension look now…Don’t drive much do you?
Grandchildren in college or working at Wal-Mart?
