Does this not look like one big circle of tension to you? It sure does to me, and it’s one that is growing far too tight in tension now. As a result, it could only be a matter of days, weeks, or months before one nation pulls the trigger to ignite World War III (WWIII).Sources:1) http://www.thejerusalemgiftshop.com/israelnews/politics/80-political/335-warnings-from-world-leaders-all-within-72-hours-.html2) http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=amM6gBY9JgJA&refer=home3) http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iyTh4daEIukZscHQWC558dEr3x5gD94BR7FG04) http://www.thejerusalemgiftshop.com/israelnews/israel-news/83-israeli-news/407-israel-war-on-iran-on-the-radar.html

CNN has reported today that there are as many as 4,000 absentee ballots missing and unaccounted for today in the state of New Mexico. That is just flat out atrocious and it make me wonder how many other absentee ballots are missing in other states.If the Republicans want to provide a good America, then why not win the Election within a good manner of fairness and not just dirty tricks?In the 2000 Presidential Election between Al Gore and George W. Bush, the Republicans stole it for Bush due to the many absentee ballots casted for Gore that mysteriously went missing. That of course was corrupt, and that corruptness continued throughout Bush's entire 8-year term as President. This has to change, and it begins with Barack Obma of the Democrats.Canada wants Obama, and America should want Obama too, if they too want a good America. A good America will result in a revival of that original American Dream, a dream that has been missing since the 90's with President Bill Clinton.Choose “REAL CHANGE” with your "VOTE" and not the same “Empty Republican Promises” and dirty tricks. Please America, do not back down on this Election. Make sure your vote counts, and make sure your vote makes an impact with Barack Obama!Sources:1) http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/11/04/some-absentee-ballots-mia-in-nm-county/#more-283432) http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/261974

Vote Today For Real CHANGE The time is now, we have gone past midnight.Across all of the United States of America, voting has begun for the 44th President. As a Canadian I don’t have to care, but I do. Just as I care for my next door neighbours, I care for America too. When I see my neighbour sad, I feel sad, but when I see them happy I feel happy.I want to see that America I once loved during the 90’s. President Bill Clinton was commander and chief and riding high with an economical surplus. Times were good.With all the hits Barack Obama has taken from media, John McCain, and Sarah Palin, he has shown the strong will needed in order to survive in the oval office. After all, it’s not about how hard you can hit, but rather how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward without any deviations.There’s no question that Barack Obama has taken the hits from every corner, and while none of them have been warranted, none of them have affected him either. He’s stayed true to his word.As a Canadian I unfortunately do not have the privilege of voting. What I can do though is impact your vote and I feel as if I have done so. Many Republicans have taken their time to email me and thank me for the insight I have opened them up to. As a result they will now be voting for Barack Obama.Obama has been there with the middle-class of America right from the get-go. He’s lost both parents and he’s suffered through financial pain. He knows what it’s like to be hampered with health care payments. His mom was even being bombarded with insurance bureaucracies while she was on her deathbed with cancer.Americans suffer through those same pains everyday and as President, Barack Obama looks to eliminate as much of those pains as possible by lowering taxation for 95% of Americans. So if you’re making less than a quarter of a million dollars, then you will see your taxes reduced. Big corporations and the upper-class can once again see their taxes due in the same amount as they were in President Bill Clinton's term.I’ll retort to my earlier comment in the fact that when I see my neighbour unhappy, I feel unhappy because it’s an atmosphere around me that begs for help. Big corporations and the upper-class of America should share those same feelings.Vote Barack Obama for President and Joe Biden for Vice President once your polls open.If instead you choose to vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin, then do not complain when your country is not on its way to financial surplus. As a result, your country would once again be viewed in the light of President George W. Bush. If that becomes the case, then you ‘my friends’ are cowards because you know you voted for the Republicans and missed the opportunity for REAL CHANGE. If you know your role, then Democratic Barack Obama is your vote. Your role is to uphold the American Dream once again, as it was in the 90’s. The time for talking is no longer needed. The time to vote is now.I bid you good luck with the fulfillment of “CHANGE” in the most important Presidential Election in the history of the United States of America.

TNA Wrestling = Politics
Hi everyone, I would first like to wish everyone a very Happy Halloween! It's always a great occasion to enjoy some chocolate and candies, watch the kids go trick-or-treating, while watching the fireworks go off.
As we all know the 2008 US Presidential Election Day is drawing very near as we are just 4 days away. Come Tuesday, we will find out whether Barack Obama or John McCain will be winning the majority of electoral votes from Americans coast to coast to become the 44th United States President.
After an enjoyable TNA iMPACT! episode on Spike TV last night, I decided to visit TNAwrestling.com and I was pleasantly surprised to see the latest 51-minute TNA Spin Cycle show on YouTube to be about politics. Usually in the world of professional wrestling they like to hide any personal and/or political beliefs behind the fabric of a wrestler’s on-screen gimmick, but this TNA Spin Cycle episode was a different occasion.
Hosted by Jeremy Borash, a panel of TNA wrestlers took their seats at the roundtable to discuss issues between Barack Obama and John McCain. Again, I was very surprised to see the positions that these wrestlers had taken. Being that I used to work in the business, specifically with TNA, I know that political topics were never discussed, and if they were it was never on the job site. After now learning of their true beliefs and where these specific wrestlers stand within the political brass of not only Democrats and Republicans, but also an entire united country with the future in mind, I definitely have a new outlook.
The wrestlers on the show included former WWE Champion and legendary hardcore wrestler, Mick Foley, along with the current TNA Legends Champion, and former WWE and WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Booker T, with former 3-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion, AJ Styles, and finally BG James, a former member of the famed D-Generation X faction in the WWE.
When watching the program, it will become very apparent to you where these men stand politically. Mick Foley is the Democrat, who weighs both sides of the ticket very thoroughly, respectively, and knowledgeably. Booker T joins Foley in that sense where he “get’s it.” Booker understands what's right, and as a Democrat he does not hold back behind any falsified facts like Republicans tend to do. BG James weighs both sides respectively as well, but he’s a man of tradition and that’s why he’s on the Republican side.
AJ Styles was quite the surprise for me since he’s a man that came from nothing. He was living in a trailer park from the beginning of time in his life, and now he’s a celebrity wrestler who says he does not want to be taxed because he’s worked his butt off to get to where he is. He just sounded very immature to me and I quickly understood that AJ was not looking out for the best interests for America, but rather AJ was looking out for AJ and AJ Styles only.
Mick Foley quickly berated AJ by stating that when you go to a place like Africa as he has done, you instantly realize that America is a very fortunate country to be living in for obvious reasons. Foley cited that as a well off person like himself, he has no remorse in spending a few extra tax dollars if it means a better America like the Clinton era. Foley even questioned AJ Styles on why he would not want to help others with his wealth.
Mick Foley put it best when he said, “In the 90’s, I was doing the Clinton strut,” but in the 2000’s he’s been doing the “Bush stagger.”
Foley went onto to say anoher quick funny liner in how the plumbing industry has become so mainstream because of folks like John McCain bringing in a random Joe like “Joe the Plumber,” into his campaign. Besides the comedic cycle of discussion though, Mick Foley supplied very accurate information for reasons on why you should vote for Barack Obama, and he even cited past events of when he met John McCain personally. Even though he has met McCain and respects McCain, he largely disagrees with all of his tactics that have really changed the McCain of old where he was a well respected man in the media. Foley ultimately said though that he would have never vote for McCain today just like he never did in the past.
Booker T brought up a good point as well with how Republican analysts on CNN, FOX News, or on any other means of news broadcasts, always come off looking fake. Fake in the fact that they always have that cheery permanent smile in comparison to a Democrat on the program. This disgusts Booker T because all the Republican analysts are doing is smiling to try and cover up the lies they’re spitting out.
While accusations like that lack proper substance for argument, it is rather amusing since the Republican smiling fact is something I always notice on TV.
Though this blog does deviate a bit from my more serious blogs on politics, this video from TNA Wrestling is just an example in how all sorts of media outlets are getting involved with the US Presidential Election this year. This is what makes this Election the most important election in United States history because everyone wants to invest an interest this time due to the biggest drop in deficits in US history, which were perpetrated by Republican President George W. Bush.
The roundtable discussion in the video provided below is an extremely great perception of views from wrestlers you watch today or grew up watching, so I suggest you take a look and even take a look if you’re not a wrestling fan too. The views from former WWE Champion, Mick Foley, are views that remind me of Michael Moore, and they’re views that I definitely agree with too.
On a closing note, I would like to say that Jesse Ventura did it in Minnesota by becoming Governor, so who’s to say that Mick Foley can’t become a future Governor? Call me crazy, but I think Mick Foley would make a GREAT future Governor!

Election Day on November 4, 2008 will arguably be the most important date in US history and it’s because the world’s fate is in the hands of the next United States President. We've already been punctured with the global economic crisis, so take your pick if you want to further that wound with World War III or preferably repair it with World Peace.
Barack Obama Hits John McCain Into The Outfield Sen. Barack Obama drew sky high marks tonight on CNN’s response radar calculated by undecided Ohio voters, while Sen. John McCain drew a dead heart beat for the majority of the debate. The debate itself was moderated by Tom Brokaw of NBC News and in my mind, it was a no-contest win for Barack Obama tonight and here’s why.For the majority of the night, the current economic crisis was hammered on where Barack Obama immediately pointed out that while we have these rescue plans in place, we have to make sure that they work. By means of work, they must ensure that the middle class is included in the plans, and that jobs are kept and more are created.For Obama, it’s not satisfying to only see the people at the top of the food chain be taken care of when they’re not the one’s suffering financially. He stressed vigorously tonight that the middle class must not be left behind in restoration plans of American Dream.On the other hand, we have John McCain who described the American people as, “angry, upset, and fearful.” Adding that it is his job to fix these problems, and it deals squarely on energy independence, so he remarked that America must use its own. While I’ll give him his due for the right idea, McCain failed to give examples on how he would suffice this plan.Deviating from the rescue plan, McCain said that he will not raise anymore taxes, in probably thinking that such an unjustified claim would create happiness for the American citizens. What McCain forgets to mention about his plan though is that he will continue to tax the middle class citizens, while no longer taxing the upper class. This has been an on-going practice by the Republicans throughout the years.I also found it funny that John McCain mentioned that while the economic crisis first broke out, he suspended his campaign and headed down to Washington to resolve some issues. Well while he did suspend his campaign and as a result cancel his David Letterman appearance, he happened to take another interview on the way to Washington with CBS Evening News.What picture does that paint on John McCain’s priorities there?If you’re going to do one thing, do it, but don’t say it and sidetrack yourself. We don’t want to see another President do those mistakes like that of George W. Bush.In keeping with economics, Barack Obama added that wages and incomes have flat lined for many Americans today. It’s harder to save, and harder to retire, and that is not the America we have all come to know. The difference between he and John McCain is that Obama does have a priority and it is to save the United States from this social unrest and he will start that on day one as the President by promptly taking action of his rescue plans.After some obvious setbacks in the debate, McCain decided to sing the song he knows best and that’s patriotism. He boasted that, “American workers are the best in the world,” adding that, “We got to give them a chance to do their job again. We can do it.”The image I get of John McCain here is that of an American cheerleader, but if you take the “cheer” away, then you’ll see what we’re looking for and that’s a “leader” in Barack Obama. McCain continued to speak though, adding that the system in Washington is broken, and that he has taken on the special interest.Just “look at my record and his,” he said. “Look at our proposals, some of which that will keep people in jobs and get our economy going again,” later differentiating himself by saying that the American government has to follow the same policies as his hero, Ronald Reagan. McCain would also go on to say what he and Joe Lieberman have done to improve the economy, and while this storytelling was occurring, the CNN radar response among males and females of undecided Ohio voters was flat lined below average.Once it came time for Barack’s response, it was not only an intelligent answer, but also a coherent one, something that McCain was lacking all night. Obama essentially said that the continued bragging of Ronald Reagan is that of a deceiving approach in gaining your votes.Relying on fact, McCain is a deregulator. When he tried to regulate to Wall Street nothing happened. McCain even states that the regulating bill to Wall Street is his own bill, but truth be told it isn’t. Obama said that the rescue plan is not the end of the process, it is only the beginning and he will make sure it succeeds and that homeowners will stay in their homes.Barack Obama further mentioned that he is confident about the American economy, “but we need leadership.” Later proclaiming that, “We still have the 20th century regulatory system in the 21st century, so we need to change that.”Lobbyists and special interests need to leave the scene as well, and Obama promises to drive them out by changing the culture in Washington. John McCain has been stating for years that he has been fending off those same people, but whether he did try or not he has failed at all attempts.Moving along to health care, John McCain promised a change. His healthcare plans look to be the same old, same old. The realization for an American citizen in need of health treatment is that he or she more often than not cannot be attended to. This is because of the insurance companies who claim you have a history of this illness either directly or indirectly through your family tree. Those same insurance companies are still going to receive their paychecks and tax deductions by McCain for not aiding you. Well that just won’t cut it for Barack Obama.“As I travel across the country, the healthcare issue is brought up most because it’s breaking family budgets,” said Obama. “Your premiums have doubled over the last 8 years. I have said from the start that we have a moral commitment to do something about this,” and, “if you have health care already, then you can keep the plan if you’re satisfied with it.”Obama continued to add that, “We will work with your employers to lower the premiums.” Concluding on his healthcare plans, Obama said that the American people will finally get a chance to enjoy the same kind of healthcare that is enjoyed by himself and John McCain, or any other politician for that matter.Most importantly however, Obama stated that, “No one can be denied from pre-existing conditions.”That last line mentioned by Obama is one that hits close to home because his own mother died at the age of 53 from cancer. She could not be helped in a country as wealthy as America because she had to argue on her death bed with insurance companies when they were claiming that the cancer was stemming from pre-existing natures within the family. How ridiculous is that?In my country Canada, our healthcare system helps you no matter what your medical history is, much less your family medical history.What makes my blood boil even more about that is the fact that John McCain wants to continue those practices and furthermore tax your employer based health care. Business organizations in response have said that John McCain’s plans will unravel a disaster within the healthcare situation that already suffers today. It’s no wonder that some American’s are escaping to Canada or Cuba just to get free healthcare on a condition they have, as evident in Michael Moore’s “Sicko” documentary film released in 2007.The truth cannot be spelled out any clearer here. John McCain would rather take your money instead of saving your life. Please don’t claim the Russians to be evil, when implementing such healthcare plans like that in your own country is devilish, not to mention how distorting it is over his self-boasted patriotism.In referring back to the economic crisis though, Barack Obama put it best that while the American people have been carrying out their responsibilities, Washington has not done their part. He also recounts how when Bush came into office, the United States were riding high on surpluses with former President Bill Clinton. Now however, almost 10 trillion dollars have been lost in debt. The fact of the matter is that this is the largest increase in national debt in American history.To fix this, Obama has laid out some key factors. One being that you cannot essentially stop all spending, so he’ll prioritize his spending. He’ll have to start with health care, followed with producing energy because the United States cannot keep bombarding China for energy.In keeping with the energy factor, America suffers huge losses in buying barrels of oil today. While straining for families, it is also bad for national security because places like Iran are benefiting from these high gas prices. So the programs that don’t work with today’s economy in relations to energy must be eliminated, and the ones that do work must be continued, but at a cheaper price and most importantly tax policies must work for you.So Obama explained that with energy, there is going to be the need for energy conservation. With that, Obama stated that he will explore other ways to get gas which will include offshore drilling and clean coal technology. Moreover, the American people will eventually be able to buy a fuel efficient car in the future that’s made in the USA, and not Japan or China. On the other hand, John McCain has not supported any movement towards producing fuel efficient cars even though he claims “change” will be brought by his administration in helping our economy and our climate.To ensure that energy consumption is improved, Obama will mandate the creation of volunteer cores so that military troops and families are not the only ones doing the duties. The volunteers will be educating the uneducated on what and how they can join the movement that will save them money in the end. John McCain does not want to go through lengths of such a procedure because he still wants your money from energy consumption. Prime example would be John McCain voting 23 times against alternative fuels.You will be seeing some savings in your bank accounts because Barack Obama wants to provide a tax cut for 95% of Americans, despite McCain’s claims of Obama wanting to raise the taxation percent. In fact, it is McCain who wants to raise the taxes for middleclass citizens because he wants to give a 300 billion dollar tax cut to large corporations and CEO’s of Wall Street. That is indeed not fair, and it will not work because in Obama’s mind, the tax policies must work with the middleclass too.Barack Obama predicts that he will create five million new jobs in America, just like the computer produced a surplus in the economy in the 1990’s. If such a procedure is put in effect, then America would once again be on its way to surplus measures, but it’s not just the talk that has to be accounted for, it’s the proof that such measures will be taken and Obama certainly has all the evidence.John McCain overall provided no evidence on his future plans as President tonight, hence my rare mentions of movement plans of his tonight. I can’t say anything positive about the man because all he did was tell stories on why he believes he has the experience, why he thinks he has the knowledge, and why he admires Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan certainly does no represent the “change” America needs and wants. It’s time to move past that old guard, and that includes moving past John McCain.McCain later point out that Barack Obama is not someone the Americans need as the next President because, “there’s no time for on the job training.”The comment I really disliked from John McCain though was when he referred to Barack Obama as, “that one,” when trying to backtalk the energy plans put forth by Obama. I didn’t make much of the fact that McCain made no eye contact with Obama in the first debate in my blog yesterday titled, “A Guilty McCain Tries To Change The Subject,” but to refer to him as “that one” tonight just seemed very racial discriminate-like from my perspective. I again will not dive into that matter though because I think such a matter like that should not be an issue here in a setting like this, especially during a period like this when the economy is the most important factor. If McCain wants to continue these trends though, then I may just have to voice my views further on this.Moving onto the War on Terror, the Iraqi’s now have a 79 billion dollar surplus while the United States is spending 10 billion dollars a month in Iraq. This is money the United States cannot afford to lose. That money is in fact needed to put people back in jobs and boost the economy again. While these wrongs cannot be corrected under the Bush Administration, they unfortunately cannot be corrected under a McCain Administration either.Barack Obama makes an obvious point that military forces should be refocused on Afghanistan. Citing the fact that Obama does not even understand why we are in Iraq, McCain says he will not leave that nation until we “win,”and that Obama would rather leave “in defeat.”Obama clarifies what he meant though when he said he did not understand. He says that he does not understand why they are there when Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda are hiding in Afghanistan. “It was a bad judgment call by going to Iraq,” said Barack Obama upon further clarifying his misunderstanding of going to Iraq.Regarding the difficult situation with Pakistan, Obama said he would look to encourage democracy while also encouraging them to go after the terrorists in the Middle East. If Pakistan decides not to side with the United States though, Obama says, “we will do it ourselves and kill Bin Laden.”McCain went on to say how he knows how hard it is to send young Americans into battle. He also tried to say how tough talk was not the key to success, in referring to Obama’s “killing” talk of Bin Laden. However, it was a failed attempt on McCain’s behalf to belittle Obama, and even a failed attempt of quoting Obama. So McCain rambled off on saying how he would negotiate with Iran to side with America to prevent the nuclear weapons from spreading throughout the Middle East.Barack Obama offered some clarification by adding that no one will call for an invasion of Pakistan, and again saying that if Pakistan is unable or unwilling to hunt down Bill Laden, “then we should.”“They are threatening to kill more Americans,” said Obama, “while McCain is saying bomb, bomb, bomb Iran,” and even, “called for an invasion of North Korea.” This goes against McCain’s earlier claims in the debate in wanting to gain Iran as an ally, just before this statement by Obama.The United States was far from finishing up in Afghanistan but the Republicans pushed hard to invade Baghdad over greedy measures. What Barack Obama claims to be imperative is for the Iraqi government to take more responsibility of their own country, which will allocate Obama the leverage to withdraw American troops over time. This in turn will enable more troops to relocate to Afghanistan where they can complete the real mission there.Topics including Russia, the new Cold War, and Georgia were also touched upon and for someone like John McCain who claims to be an expert on such subjects as these; he really failed to impress me tonight. He gave no substance to the matter and never sided to one position, ultimately saying not everyone would agree with him. Well that’s politics McCain, and you have failed right there in living up to your job title as a politician. Barack Obama resembled being a veteran when touching upon these subjects and that was a surprising knockout win for Obama.Besides the war, Barack Obama also undoubtedly hit McCain into the outfield when touching on subjects like healthcare, energy, and the economy. Fundamental change is what is needed, and that's the reason why Barack Obama says he is here to serve, and that's the reason why he is running for President of the United States. With John McCain, I get the sense that he is saying whatever he can just to win the election, and if he wins he'll revert to his personal agenda.The difference between Barack Obama and John McCain is that while they say they're here to serve the American people, only one candidate has provided evidence of this claim. As a result, this makes the choice for voting between the two come Election Day a very easy one.Barack Obama will be the 44th President of the United States of America.
A Guilty McCain Tries To Change The Subject
Sen. John McCain has suddenly swayed away from the economic crisis. With the help of Gov. Sarah Palin, he has gone back to his dirty tricks by landing out some personal attacks on Sen. Barack Obama by calling him, “dishonorable” and, “too risky.”In fact, Sarah Palin has recently been repeating a statement where Obama remarked in the past that the troops in Afghanistan are, “just air-raiding villages and killing civilians.”Truthfully speaking, that statement by Obama has some truth in relations to the whole scheme of the War on Terror. The US Army has in fact been in the skies dropping bombs with no clear purpose but to kill. Kill who you might ask, well there really is no clear target but the “terrorists.” Only problem here is we have no definite location on these terrorists, so the Americans decide to bomb everyone including civilian families, mothers, and children.Just stop and think about those tragic situations happening in the Middle East. Think about all the terror the Americans are causing to good hearted human beings. Now play that same picture in reverse. Picture yourself in fear. Picture yourself being terrorized, and picture your livelihood in jeopardy. Loved ones killed for no reason but greed. It’s not a satisfying picture is it?You don’t see or hear this on your television because the media picks and chooses what they want to show and report.Look at what the media did show though. Take the Iraq war for example, a moment in history that became a public entertainment-like scene on CNN when the Americans invaded Baghdad in April 2003. It was an air-raid that eventually turned into a ground level tank-raid once the Iraqi’s were deemed weak enough to be ambushed and taken over. The US Army seized the airports and Presidential palace, while suddenly the media was playing up the American savior anthems for the good of the world.If you look at the big picture though, with all the wrongs the Americans did in Iraq, I feel less safe today. Not only financially with the economic crisis, but also my life feels at risk with the constant threats of military action around the world. It feels like a prelude to World War III.Whom can we attribute all this disturbing future unrest towards? We can point the fingers to President George W. Bush, the Republicans, and yes Sen. John McCain, your current Republican Presidential candidate for 2008.So what was the purpose of invading Iraq anyway? Was it to avenge the 9/11 attacks? Come on, you can’t fool us with that one anymore. Or was it because of the “weapons of mass destruction?” You won’t be able to lure us in with that one anymore Bush.In a recent McCain advert, they have attacked Barack Obama for that statement on Afghanistan I mentioned earlier. In the process, the ad states that, “Congressional liberals voted repeatedly to cut off funding to our troops. Increasing the risk on lives.” The ad then went on to conclude with a simple line adding, “How dangerous.”All this in trying to paint Barack Obama as the dangerous choice come Election Day. In turn they hope this makes you believe that John McCain and Sarah Palin are the safer choice.Be careful of your actions though John McCain because what you thought may have gained you supporters, could moreover be perpetrated against you in a stiff way. The Obama campaign has dug up some dirt facts on John McCain in relations to the economic crisis, a topic McCain has reared away from.I received an e-mail from BarackObama.com today that gave me a link to the launching of a multimedia campaign that was produced to draw attention to John McCain and his involvement with the “Keating Five” savings-and-loan scandal in 1989-1991. This was a tarnishing event towards the public image of John McCain at the time and it’s been kept quiet in the national spotlight till now.Not only did I receive this e-mail, but so did millions of others around the world. The link provided was a direction to KeatingEconomics.com, which has a 13-minute documentary on the scandal.With regards to this backfiring release of information against John McCain, the Obama-Biden communications director Dan Pfieffer said, “While John McCain may want to turn the page on his erratic response to the current economic crisis; we think voters will find his involvement in a similar crisis to be particularly interesting. His involvement with Keating is a window into McCain’s economic past, present, and future.”The e-mail also goes lengths with the following message:“During the savings and loan crisis of the late '80s and early '90s, McCain's political favors and aggressive support for deregulation put him at the center of the fall of Lincoln Savings and Loan, one of the largest in the country. More than 23,000 investors lost their savings. Overall, the savings and loan crisis required the federal government to bail out the savings of hundreds of thousands of families and ultimately cost American taxpayers $124 billion.Sound familiar?In that crisis, John McCain and his political patron, Charles Keating, played central roles that ultimately landed Keating in jail for fraud and McCain in front of the Senate Ethics Committee. The McCain campaign has tried to avoid talking about the scandal, but with so many parallels to the current crisis, McCain's Keating history is relevant and voters deserve to know the facts -- and see for themselves the pattern of poor judgment by John McCain.”Is this the American Dream? Is this the man who should be running the United States of America as President? Could John McCain, the former fraudulent, be the man who carries us one by one out of the economic hole of disaster?Three words – not one chance.If John McCain and Sarah Palin cannot prove to the American people that they are worthy of your vote with some factual positive benefits of self-promotion, then why choose them when their opposition is in fact providing the opposite?Barack Obama has been promoting “change” from the get-go, whereas John McCain has been on a full-fledged attack of his opponent with the intentions of tearing him down. It’s a desperate attempt if you ask me, and if that’s the “change” that McCain and Palin are trying to promote then I foresee another Civil War in America coming up.The fact of the matter is that we are in a financial-economic crisis, and it will lead to another Great Depression if we put it on the backburner like John McCain has done. Barack Obama recognizes the threats and he promises “change” with action.I encourage you all to tune in tomorrow to the second Presidential Debate. In the last debate you could really sense the fear spelled all over John McCain. He deviated from any acknowledgement of his rival, Barack Obama, nor did he give much eye contact. It was almost like discrimination on McCain’s part if you ask me, but I won’t go that far, I think it was more fear.With all this dirt on McCain now reinstated upon the American people, I find it to be very interesting on how things will play out tomorrow. Just remember one thing; Barack Obama is not here to attack. He’s here to “change” the course of action plans for tomorrow upon moving forward in a positive direction, and he will defend what’s right.
