WSJ says McCain plans massive Medicare and Medicaid cuts.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122315505846605...
I have hope.
Remember, YOU GET what you vote for! Those that voted for this man and his friends TWICE should have to sit out this election in a PENALTY box.
The DOW is approaching the 9000's and THIS is WITHOUT short selling. NICE! THANKS IDIOT REPUBLICANS.
They are the perennial suckers. They youth always have more at stake than the anyone else in any election, yet they just piss it away.
The youth that didn't show up or vote for Kerry in 2004 or Gore in 2000 are confronted with a future so dark and filled with debt that their standard of living is likely to be about half of what their parents were and that they grew up in during the Clinton years. Some have been killed, maimed or wounded in the wars that Bush started. The youth alway have the most at stake.
2008 is their last chance to avoid an economic Armageddon that's likely to last their entire lives and half of their children's lives - if their children are lucky. Why they don't vote with so much at stake is truly foolish. Meanwhile my 80 year old parents, secure in their social security and their Medicaid for the rest of their lives will once again pull the lever for whatever Republican is on the ballot.
Will they be so stupid again?
MY GOD - LOOK WHAT THOSE WHO VOTED FOR BU$H TWICE DID TO US!
Its even worse than you think if you consider how Bu$hco. has screwed the value of the dollar.
heckuva job free market GOPer looters.
remind all the young ones in your life about early voting, if it's available, so they don't feel they only have one day to vote and that's it....
I have a friend who is a local 911 director who told me not to be flying for the next couple of weeks. I made him elaborate. He said that the Dept of Homeland Defense has issued sort of a back-door warning for all personel that the next two weeks presents the highest probability for a terrorist attack on our soil. I thought "why hasn't Busco raised the level?" I would assume that the threat is bunk and the Neocons knew it would be too obvious to raise the "levels" on national news so they went through the back door to riase fear and panic. Its just like the old republican "trickle down"economics except the commodity is fear. They start at the top with their national directors, the memos start there and trickled down to the state level, county level, and then local level. It is just like a whisper campaign but can't be debunked because the media won't pick up on it. Ms. Jane 911 dispatcher will get the memo and take the news home with her, to church and any social clubs. The fear is spreading. My 911 friend already has our entire social group shaking with panic--and the kicker? He says we just can't have Obama in office when this happens. We need a Republican because Obama is a Muslim. And I ask, is this really happening???
You don't have a crystal ball here... just 20-20 hindsight.
I'm envisioning the rich, entitled, arrogant Young Republicans on campus doing the lazy-thing this time ... staying home drinking beer, earning their 2.4 GPA, fully secure in the knowledge that Daddy will take care of them no matter what. Ha! You don't know what's about to hit you, suckas!
Speaking as a Boomer, I apologize to all our youngers that our generation couldn't quite pull off what we so earnestly and passionately tried to do in the late '60's. But I truly believe that our children ARE going to accomplish all that we dreamed of, and more.

And yes, there's been a massive shift among older voters since the financial crisis started. They are looking at their savings going bye bye, and they remember Keating. Reminding them of it again now is the last straw for them.
