Although I am a democrat, I was so impressed with McCain's leadership by going to Washington and proposed that the debate not take place tonight. This leadership had impressed me and I might consider looking at him and the Republican party more and would consider voting for him. This is crazy!

As an independent voter, I must chose between one party that has presented an inexperienced presidential candidate and the other party that has presented an inexperienced vice-presidential candidate. However, I am pro-national security/defense and pro-public safety. Biden may tip the scale for me. During his acceptance speech, he said he would put several brigades into Afghanistan and war ships near Georgia. I know the far-left had a collective heart-attack when he said this, put I had a sigh of relief. "Real-politik" is the way to survive in this world and I am sure our money will be well spent on the military if Biden becomes VP. Obama will take the back seat, as he should, just like Bush did to Chaney. Presidents can't "fix" economies.

The people who think 5-15% of their salary will pay for all their medical bills are the people that end up bankrupt at the first medical emergency. Then we all have to PAY for THEM. Dupes and fools abound.

Why not hold off on this resolution and see how this plays out? No need to rush just yet. And why is it ok for Republicans to bail out Wall Street but not our public healthcare system? They can regulate the Economy but not Healthcare? Huh? The Market has been doing fine the last couple of days with the promise of an impending resolution.

Best Case scenerio: 269 tie - Congress ties because Liebermann votes for McCain - Dick Cheney ends up with the vote - McCain wins! Utterly, fantasticly, awesome!!!!!

YES! GO TAXES GO! Hope you can afford 5-15%. It may not happen in 2009, but with a Democrat controlled congress, the tax bills and special interest funds will be FLYING through the house and senate and signed into law. Can't wait for you to wake up one morning, not get your raise or bonus at work, then file on April 15th to pay that extra 5-15% of your paycheck. WOOOHOOO! THANKS! @DR in Los Angeles-
